Government is NOT a monolithic entity. What he is talking about is WHO is invested with political power to determine the actions of your government...be it in the county, state, or the federal level...the patrician donor class. There is no lobby for the poor in DC, hence the half-century of neoliberal deregulatory, union-busting, and special-interest peddling policymaking. All of which has given rise to a new populism, which knows no party, in reaction to the loss of social mobility, financial security, and peace of mind. Sadly, there is only one form of populism that has achieved political power today...the sort that vilifies the most vulnerable members of American society...be it welfare recipients or immigrants as an invasive other, with all of its faux, performative patriotism, folk devilry, conspiratorial narratives, hyperbole, vitriol, mendacity, falsehoods, and yes, a newfound advocacy of authoritarianism. These poor people have been commodified as voters to shift tax burdens from the wealthy onto themselves, dismantle their public education system for charters, vouchers, and private schools, and lavish every tartuffe with idolatry in believing that a criminal charlatan and wannabe strongman is an agent of a God. These Americans are a generation lost and Carlin is fortunate enough not to have seen this fascism come to fruition with their threats of civil strife and political violence at a time when the world needs American leadership most against a new axis of illiberal autocratic powers utilizing our tribalistic polarization for their gain.
It's even more relevant now. I think this doesn't come across as one of his funnier bits because the audience realizes he's talking about them. It hits a little too close to home.
He died almost 14 years ago. Before the financial crisis hit, and he had them all figured out. It's almost like they looked around the corner. "Is he gone?? Carlin's dead? OK, full speed ahead fuckers! Let's fuck the world with that blue, white and red dick!"
He has material from the 90's about humans being an invasive species with no natural predators and that earth would muster some defence, like a hornet colony protecting itself, and wipe us out with a pandemic.
"More and more relevant?" My brother, this dude is wizened and dead, and he was still saying it as a matter of course. It's ALWAYS been relevant, we just hear it, say: "Man, he's right! Anyway..." and forget it. It's never NOT been relevant. It's the entire US system for decades back!
Mr. Carlin is at his most honest, observant and critical here. Not his funniest bit, but there are a few laughs from the audience, probably laughter to relieve discomfort. I love this bit because George Carlin was not only funny, but crucial to our culture. We need someone like George to carry the torch for continued enlightenment.

George Carlin was right back then and he’s even more correct now. He’s looking down on all this mess thinking I told ya so! We need more people like him call out all the bullshit for what it is.
My dad was in the Air Force when I was young. We left Italy in 1981. My dad told me and my two siblings "Understand one thing about the world kids... American big business controls the world." This is 1981 and my dad knew the truth.

Carlin was brilliant...truth by way of "comedy", that always makes the messaging palatable...otherwise you get tossed into the "conspiracy theory heap". But here we are decades later and the "club" is more powerful than ever. 1984 was "fiction" & Carlin was a "comedian".
I don't think he wanted people to laugh at this. I genuinely think that here he wasn't even trying to be funny anymore. He was using his last days/moments to get us to wake the hell up
For years and years and years I tried to get people to listen to George, saying this guy knows the truth and he's telling it. No one listened. Fucking no one. Today? Everything he said has come true. Miss you so much, George.

Well back then he did fake weather reports in funny voices. It wasn't very cancel-worthy, and even his "7 words" controversy didn't ruin him. He did his real-world stuff in more recent years and never got cancelled. And I think he would have kept evolving with time, and just kept saying true stuff that everyone can relate to and agree on. He would have been nice to have around in this time of need.
