Jerry Lewis: You gotta remember something. ISIS has attacked the world, OK? And all of a sudden I’m wondering, where are all of our NATO allies? Why don’t I have Germany, and Italy, and Great Britain? Why don’t I have all of them, including Spain, doing something? Get all of your military together, bring that military to our military, and wipe ’em out. They’re asking to be stopped. And we’re not stopping them, we’re just reporting what they’re doing. That’s ridiculous.
RA: And what do you think about the refugees?
Lewis: The refugees should stay where the hell they are.
RA: They say there’s a humanitarian crisis. They’re fleeing —
Lewis: Hey, nobody has worked harder for the human condition than I have. But they’re not part of the human condition, if 11 guys in that group of 10,000 are ISIS. How can I take the chance? I don’t want to lose another Frenchman or another Englishman. That bothers me. You can’t really knock the president per se because he was never given to understand that’s out there. He was never ready, never prepared for it. And what I’m watching in him is uncertainty. And you don’t have uncertainty in a leader. A leader doesn’t give a s— what he does, but he gets it done.
RA: Politics: I know you watch it. I see you watching news every minute of the day. What do you think of Donald Trump?
Lewis: I think he’s great.
RA: Why?
Lewis: Because he’s a showman. And we’ve never had a showman in the president’s chair.
RA: Well, we had Ronald Reagan. He was a bit of a showman.
Lewis: Well, that’s different. You can’t make a comparison with Ronald Reagan, because I can do three hours on him with just praise, he was so good.
Sigh. Don't hold it against him. He's a Fox viewer. Roger Ailes has a deep insight into the older, white American male and delivers the world to them in exactly the way they are most comfortable getting it.
There's a full video of the interview at the link. It's depressing.
Buddy Love was a Frank Sinatra impression, but many people say it was much more the real him than the kooky doofus he usually played. Ring-a-ding-ding...
