Comedian Bill Burr said billionaires should be “put down like rabid fucking dogs” in a rant on his Monday Morning Podcast.
On his podcast, Burr responded to a message from a fan saying she is a mother with a full time job and she’s struggling financially.
“The amount of people struggling out there because of these fucking billionaires, and they got us all arguing liberal and conservative. We gotta stop doing that. I’m so tired of hearing about people going to bed worried about what’s going to happen next week,” Burr said.
Burr’s comments come just a couple months after Luigi Mangione allegedly shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, sparking intense debate about healthcare and wealth in the United States with critics, mainly on the left, expressing similar complaints as Burr did on his podcast. Burr himself drew parallels with Mangione in January on air with Jimmy Kimmel.
The comedian added that “it’s bad for the country” that people work full time jobs and still can’t afford their rent. Taking on a second job, he argued, only means parents spend less time with their children, creating a set of new issues.
“They need to be put down like fucking rabid dogs,” Burr said of billionaires en masse during Friday’s podcast.
Billionaires, he said, are “dividing people” and distracting people with political arguments about left versus right.
Burr then went after President Donald Trump’s plan to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the calling him a “laminated face cunt.”
“The fucking epitome of this time right now, like how divisive we are that, like, the Gulf of Mexico is now the Gulf of America, and people get excited. Like, how the fuck does that help your wallet? It’s an empty gesture. And then it’s also like a racist gesture,” Burr said.
Trump’s plan, he added, really amounts to a simple message: “Fuck Mexicans.”
“That’s the white guy saying ‘Fuck Mexicans’ without saying it,” he said. “You know, like who has a fucking problem with Mexicans? What is the real problem? This is just such an ugly fucking time.”
