You want to smoke weed. You want to grow a pot plantation in your own house. Pay fucking taxes, do whatever you want. You want to get really high and go drive, speed through a neighborhood, then we have a problem. You want to do a little blow, you want to do a little crank, you want to do a little speed, whatever the fuck you want to do, go, feel free to do it. Start hurting somebody, then we come down on you.12:38 - On our huge prison population:Clear out the fucking prisons with all this fucking consensual crime shit, you know prostitution or victimless shit—drugs...You're selling mushrooms at a Phish concert, what the fuck do I want you in our prisons for? I'm only looking for people who pose a threat.11:57 - On the role of police:Have the cops start serving the fucking people. To protect and serve, not hand out chicken shit tickets and annoy... I want the cops to focus on crime instead of being little money collectors raping everyone's fucking wallet.6:43 - On high taxation:You raise the taxes, people pack up and leave, you fucking retards. You guys don't understand that concept?14:47 - On politicians demanding more money:What are you going to do with our money? All you do is fucking waste it. (13:36) The more money you give the politicians, the less you get.13:26 - On his political leanings:I just, like, cherry pick all the best stuff out of all the political parties ... Is that a libertarian? Then, so be it.4:48 - On LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa:A dude who failed the bar four times ... We give him the keys to this city, and he's essentially functionally retarded?5:29 - On why his hometown is even worse off than Drew Carey's Cleveland:It's assholes and potholes, and we're totally fucked ... LA is a group of lethargic, fucking retarded assholes that just drive around at a snail's pace completely out of it, and they have no idea what's going on.4:03 - On why he'd tax gas an extra $7 a gallon:Buses free. Light rail's free. Monorail's free, just like Disneyland. All for free because of my extra $7 on every gallon of gas being sold. Meanwhile it's just gonna be me and Richard Branson having a drag race down the 405, 8:30 in the morning on a Tuesday, nobody on the road.10:39 - On driving:Drive through the left turn red arrows. I do it every single fucking day of my life. It's the greatest thing that ever happened to me.
