When President Donald Trump addressed U.S. and Qatari troops at a military base in Qatar on Thursday, he assured the rank and file that "we don't care if you're politically correct."
Anyone needing proof of that could have watched comedian Theo Von's routine just a little earlier. Wearing a black T-shirt and backward baseball cap, the podcast host regaled the uniformed troops with jokes about drugs, developmental disabilities, homosexuality and their Qatari hosts.
He talked about snorting cocaine off a baby's back but said it was "a mixed baby" so the white powder was visible on the baby's skin.
Von acted out various disabilities, including Down syndrome, and he insulted the U.S. Navy as "gay." He also had a punchline about terrorism attacks, asking, "Where do you think the next 9/11 should happen?"
He joked about the lack of crime in Qatar, where he said it would be impossible to identify a perpetrator because everyone is named Mohammed and dresses in the same white robes. They were like a "Ku Klux Sandsman," Von said.
