Louis talked not only about "how cool it would be" if former President Jimmy Carter died after falling on stage on "The Daily Show" but also how there is no gray area in pedophilia. "There's only two kinds of people. There's people who are horrified and reviled by child touching (with penises) and... then there's the people who can't stop having sex with children. There's no in between. There's nobody who's like 'I don't do it, but I get it.'"

Louis explains that his daughters, being white and female, have nothing in the world to complain about, especially as so many others of different ethnicities and times have or had things so much worse.

Saving Money is Arrogant

Promoting his comedy tour during an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," Louis CK offers a bit of small talk, about small talk, before sharing some wisdom about traveling and money. Though he knows that he should be saving for his children, but he's not a fan of saving money, ending spending it rather. He even goes as far as to note that in his opinion, "if you're [raised] rich, you're definitely a piece of sh*t." "I don't believe in saving money, it's arrogant."
