Jim Jefferies isnt afraid of a controversial statement as long as he believes he has a point.

I met Sean Spicer at the Emmys the other day and asked him to come on the show and you know what, he was all right, Jefferies told HuffPost on the phone, promoting his Comedy Central program, The Jim Jefferies Show, which premiered this June.

The 40-year-old Australia native believes his role is to be a vessel for honesty.

I want to live in a world where Ive done enough fucking crazy shit that if something really does hit the fan, I just go, Im Jim Jefferies, Im a ridiculous human being, Jefferies said.

Hes been punched in the face for the confrontational nature of his jokes once even very publicly onstage in a clip that went viral . Angry attendees of his sets have rushed his stage on multiple other occasions.

In February, Jefferies made headlines when he yelled at Piers Morgan for defending President Donald Trump on Real Time with Bill Maher. Jefferies then flipped Morgan off on-air.

But despite often taking Trump, his administration and their defenders to task on his weekly show, Jefferies really doesnt want to be seen as definitively anti-Trump or anti-Republican.

Hes become somewhat known for being against guns after a comedy bit of his went viral . The new show delved into the topic, but he also had former U.S. Navy SEAL Rob ONeill, who claims he fired the shot that killed Osama Bin Laden, tape an upcoming segment for the show with Jefferies to shoot guns and air the other sides perspective.

Jefferies said he and ONeill couldnt be any more different politically, but that the two have been friends since meeting at a party. Amid all the swearing and potshots on the show, theres a subtle mission. Jefferies is someone who wants to use his comedy to start bridging the divide between ideologies.

I dont have to live in a world where these are the good people, these are the bad people, Jefferies said, explaining his interaction with Spicer. He gave Spicer credit for roasting himself and wanted to believe that it was a sign we could head toward future bipartisanship.

Doesnt it soften everything up a little bit? Jefferies said, less assuredly than before. I dont know.
