追加: 2026-06-04

[00:00:01]Thank you, Ben.

[00:00:04]I have to say I've felt pretty dumb a lot of times in my life, but I've never felt dumber than I do right now being on stage with this group of people who expose the horrors of ICE and prison abuse and protests against the Vietnam War. A teacher who took on Putin. Um, I called our president FattyShack and Blob the Builder and Liger Woods and the Hungry Hungry Hypocrite, our Fondling Father, Mara Lardo, Nelson Tandela, and Nostra Dumbass. And somehow we got a pea body out of that.

[00:00:50]I mean, if you didn't know it from reading the nose news already, our this country really has gone to Making jokes about the president in America shouldn't win you a prize. We have the right guaranteed by the Constitution to criticize and satarize our leaders. This is a right that many of us take for granted. It's one that I took for granted for the first 57 years of my life until September of last year when the FCC uh delivered a very unpleasant surprise. But then I experienced something that surprised me even more. I watched as millions of people, even some from across the aisle, objected. They spoke up. They marched.

[00:01:34]They cancelled their subscriptions to Star Wars because they refused to allow our freedoms to be bulldozed like the East Wing of the White House. They sent a message, you sent a message that we do care and that we will stand up and that we will not stand by when comedy and journalism and dissent are censored and regulated and criminalized. Right, GMO?

[00:01:59]>> Right, Jimmy?

[00:02:00]>> Thank you.

[00:02:03]Thank you for always having my back.

[00:02:07]GMO said, "Please make it fast. I have to pee."
