Jamie Kennedy is calling out what he sees as hypocrisy in America today.
The actor released a solo episode of his podcast, “Hate to Break It to Ya,” this week, and spoke at length about current events, namely the Fauci hearings and the renewed conversation around the COVID-19 pandemic and its lasting effects.
During the episode, Kennedy’s discussion of the public response to the pandemic became a bit broader when he spoke about some people today being “beyond brainwashed.”

“And I’ve never seen this in the history of our race of human beings,” he continued. “For instance, if I like something that a Republican does, or Trump does, they call me not just MAGA, they call me a maggot. A maggot.”
He explained that while he does lean right, he “never even voted,” and he said there are some more liberal policies he agrees with as well, “but if I say I like that Trump secures the borders, I’m just a maggot.”
The “Scream” star said he believes that people like him, who focus on policy over party, are “open-minded,” while people on the left have “no leniency.”
“How can you say that you’re the party of inclusion when you don’t include us?” he asked. “All we want to do is talk to people, figure out things, go through different ideas, see what we like. And if we don’t, we don’t feel like we’ve looked under every stone. And I feel like that’s what’s happening – people don’t want you to investigate. If you even investigate or go against their beliefs, they just put you in a box.”

Kennedy also spoke about performing an hour-long comedy set in a parking lot to raise money for a bar that had been struggling to stay afloat under lockdown restrictions. The event was nearly shut down while, at the same time, he claimed, a crew of dozens was shooting a television show in another parking lot nearby with no issues because it had been “sanctioned by the state.”
“That’s the hypocrisy,” he complained. “A female, family-owned business, probably very left-leaning … and you’ve turned them into me. And you know what you think I am.”
He continued, “So when you say that people are like this, it’s because you’re so repressive. You’re so judgmental, you’re so mean. You’re so arrogant, you’re so impatient, you’re so … there’s nothing sweet about you. There’s nothing open or forgiving.”
“The reason why no one believes your bulls— when you’re this wild, angry, crazy left-leaning person … is that the right-leaning people, if they say hateful things, they kind of stand by it,” Kennedy said, claiming that if someone on the right holds “hateful” beliefs, “at least you know where you stand with them.”
“If you’re a wild leftist, your whole thing is inclusion,” he argued, and “the minute they don’t get what they want,” they turn into a “gremlin-possessed demon.”

“Why we don’t listen to you is because we don’t believe a word you say,” he went on, “because you’re all words. You’re nothing but … you’re air. You’re not a really good person, you’re fake. We all know it. People like me know it. There’s tons of people like me – we know it.”
As another example, Kennedy brought up the murder of Charlie Kirk, saying that “if you’re an empathetic person, you were f—ing ruined for a week. I don’t care what you are – if you’re a human, and you have blood in your veins and love in your heart, you don’t wish what happened to him on anyone.”
But the people who celebrated Kirk’s death, he said, are “beyond sick, and we saw how many people did that.”
“These are the people that want all the inclusion and say that we’re not,” he said. “No, we just know your bulls—. You just want what you want, and if you don’t get it, ‘it’s my ball, and my that, I’m going home,’ but you don’t just go home, you burn ours down. You’re not just crybabies, you’re psychopaths.”
“You talk about a cult,” he said later. “The cult of closed-mindedness. That’s what it is.”
