Marines vs Code Pink in Berkeley | Daily Show transcript

Daily Show with Jon Stewart ^ | March 10, 2008 | Rob Riggle

[RedRover]

I couldn't find a transcript for this hilarious piece from i>The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, so I made one myself. If you haven't seen it already, do yourself a favor and CHECK IT OUT.

Rob Riggle is a Marine and a very funny guy.

Good job on the transcript, Red, Thanks! The video is a scream.

[RedRover]

I never watch the show, but if they make this Riggle guy a regular, I will start.

[Tears of a Clown]

I saw this live and LOL’d. A good change of pace from what they usually show...

[IrishCatholic]

Thanks for the great laugh. I am forwarding this gem to everyone!

What the heck is a Peace & Justice Commissioner? An appointed or elected position? City official? Paid? Benefits? Lifetime pension?

[USMC Brat]

Thanks Red.

OMG that's one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time - and on The Daily Show!?

Oooh, someone's gonna have his raisins freeze dried over this!

[MaxMax]

Rob Riggle: So if we got rid of police we wouldn’t have crime?

Code Pinker # 1:Potentially.

LMAO, they should "like" stay out of politics.

That was hilarious even reading the transcript. These Code Pinker's that he interviewed weren't too quick.

Code Pinker # 1: It is very important to protect free speech and so we clearly have the right to be here.

Rob Riggle: If only there was an organization that was sworn to defend that free speech.

Code Pinker # 1: That would be great.

Rob Riggle: That would be outstanding, right?

[RedRover]

That was my favorite part, too!

[Girlene]

LOL!!! Perfect synopsis. Yes, that was classic, clueless, Code Pink. I loved this part, too:

To earn the trust of the locals, I had to blend in. - Nice shades, dude.

Btw, I am friends and fraternity brothers with Rob Riggle, comediana and marine on the right.

[KC_Conspirator]

See my post #14. Riggle is the funniest guy I have ever known.

Send him my thanks for his service and an outstandingly funny and to the point piece on the Berkley Marine Recruiting Center conflict. Short, sweet, and showed how utterly moronic the protestors are.

Code Pinker # 3: The Marines…we don’t need to be worrying about their rights. It’s not an equal relationship.

[RedRover]

[RedRover]

That's fantastic! I hope he does more stuff on the Daily Show. He deserves it.

BTW, if you talk to him, I'd love to him write something for my site, Defend Our Marines, if he'd be interested. There's a blog section as well as documents and news.

[Girlene]

Oh, my gosh, that stuff is hilarious. Was that a fake “Peace and Justice” commissioner interview? Surely this Bob Meola wouldn’t sit through Rob Riggle’s little act with the hippie get-up and all, would he? I like all the crazy buttons on Bob’s vest - nice hippie touch.

[RedRover]

Bob Meola is for real (must say I'm pleased that the top page in the Google search is at Defend Our Marines!)

Real people do put up with shenanigans from Daily Show interviewers. Guess they think it proves they are good sports (and they probably hope their message will still get out).

I also suspect that some of the stuff from Rob Riggle was edited in rather then done live during the actual interview. During the outdoors interviews, it's pretty obvious Rob's reactions were done later and edited in. The same UPS truck passes by as he's talking at different points.
