Himself - Host: New rule: someone has to tell me what's magic about a capital "R". The kind that goes after your name if you're a Republican. Because if you have one of those, you can get away with pretty much anything when it comes to selling out, cursing out, or compromising your own country. You know...
[audience applause]
Himself - Host: When it... when it was Hillary Clinton with an unsecure e-mail server, Republicans wanted to "lock her up!". But President Trump still uses the unsecure Android phone he had before he got elected, and he has been warned that with an old consumer grade phone like that, someone could easily hack into his Twitter account and start posting crazy messages. And how would we be able to tell?
[audience laughter and applause]
Himself - Host: So a couple of weeks before the Super Bowl, Bill O'Reilly asked Trump why he always defended Putin, who O'Reilly said was a killer. A reasonable question, since the last two guys who were as cozy as Putin and Trump held their bilateral talks on Brokeback Mountain.
[audience laughter]
Himself - Host: But again, Trump took Putin's side over America, saying "We got killers here, too. You think... you think our country's so innocent?" If a Democrat said that before the Super Bowl, they would be in Guantanamo Bay by halftime. Same as they would if they did this.

Himself - Host: But if you have the magic "R", no problem. Trump repeatedly said he was going to donate to military charities, then didn't, then lied about it. He compared our intelligence agencies to Nazis. He said McCain, who spent five years in a Vietnamese prison, wasn't a war hero because "I like people who weren't captured." I got to say to all you flag waving right wingers who always say "I'm not just gonna stand here and let you run down America", you're standing there and letting Trump run down America.
[audience applause]
Himself - Host: Donald Trump could go to the tomb of the unknown soldier and say "Well, maybe if he'd done something, he wouldn't be so unknown."
[audience laughter]
Himself - Host: And Republicans would be okay with that, too. When Trump said "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters", he wasn't making a joke. He's never made a joke. Unless his entire life is some sort of Andy Kaufman style performance art, in which case, stop it. No, he was simply stating an actual fact for once, which is if you have the magic "R" after your name, you can drive a Hummer through a daycare center and Fox News will say the babies were asking for it.
[audience laughter]
Himself - Host: Meanwhile, in the alternative universe where a Democrat is president, Obama once said "We have not been perfect." And for eight years, Republicans screamed that he was on a non-stop apology tour. They lost their shit whenever there was a picture of him committing high crimes like not having his hand over his heart during a song, or saluting with coffee in his hand. Even though this guy did it with a dog.
[a picture of George W. Bush is shown]
Himself - Host: Yeah, that guy. The one who sat, frozen, for seven minutes after being told the words "The country is under attack". And Republicans defended that, and we all just accept this. America is the Republican Party's bitch, and they can criticize and betray her, but you can't, even though Obama spent two terms talking up the troops, talking up the country; how much he loved it, how "in no other country is my story even possible". Didn't matter; conservatives all nodded when Rudy Giuliani said "I do not believe that President Obama loves America." As opposed to Giuliani, who happened to be mayor on 9/11, so that made him America's mayor; a hero whose great act of heroism was nothing fell on his head. To...
[audience applause]
Himself - Host: To paraphrase Donald Trump, I like mayors who don't let towers collapse.
[oohs and applause from the audience]
Himself - Host: A few weeks ago, an old, but very smoking gun emerged from the Nixon era, when it came out that in 1968, when President Lyndon Johnson was trying to end the war in Vietnam, candidate Richard Nixon was actively, purposefully undermining the peace talks because he wanted the war to go on so he could have it as an election issue. You would think that the "America first" crowd would find that a bridge too far. Fuck no. Dick Cheney once outed a CIA agent just to say "fuck you" to her husband. Reagan sold weapons to Iran, the country they all want to bomb now in brazen defiance of American law, and instead of being impeached, he was elevated to sainthood and now rides horses in heaven with Jesus.
[audience laughter]
Himself - Host: Why do Republicans get away with this? Why do they have patriotic immunity? America is like a dysfunctional family where the Democrats are the older, mature son who works hard and does everything right but somehow is never good enough, and the Republicans are the young asshole son who's a fuck up, but no matter how many times he crashes the Camaro, daddy buys him a new one.
[audience laughter and applause]
Himself - Host: I know it's not really important, like which department stores are selling Ivanka's panty liners, but you know... all of America's intelligence agencies say a foreign power tampered with our election to favor the Republican, and they say also that they don't trust that Republican, our president, with our state secrets. And yet the theme of Trump's inaugural was "America first". Please. His ego is first, his hotels are second, Russia's third. I'd be surprised if America made the top ten.
The Leah Remini interview was eye-opening too.
