Happy to be here. It don't look good though. I've been I've been watching and looking around all night. Y'all look good, you dress, nice. You got the nice threads on. You got the jewelry glistening look like everybody. Got a little piece of that settlement money from Fox News. That's all I have to say about that cuz I'm not going to have dominion on my ass. I love to me meditate let me just say it right now. My favorite voting machine is Dominion voting machines. When I go to the polls, I make sure it is a Dominion machine that I use. If your election need the truth put Dominion in your booth. Can we stop with the groom and stuff? Can you stop talking about the drag queens are not at a school to groom your kids? Stop it. And even if they were most of them kids don't get shot at school, ain't no problem. Don't Braun pass legislation. The Untouchable Tucker Carlson is out of a job. Some people celebrate it. Tucker staff. I want you to know that. I know what you're feeling. I work at The Daily Show, so I too have been blindsided by the sudden departure of the host of a fake news program. We got to get stuck it back on the air. Mister president is right now. There's millions of Americans that don't even know why they hate you. Fox claim Dominion conspired with the Democrats to rig the election. In the Democrats should be flattered that they thought that y'all was smart enough to rig an election. What about leading a runoff to be the werewolf. Speaking of assholes. Lemon is out of a job. Don Lemon. My dog dominant, Don. Lemon released a statement saying he got fired from CNN, been seeing him released a statement saying that they offered on a meeting. They had even accurately report a story about Don Lemon. Can we just be honest? And just say that the truck didn't hit like we thought it was going to hit. He said, sometimes his daughter was going to the Trap, arrest was like a pot brownie, you ate four hours ago. I feel Justice just don't feel like justice. Georgia, Raymond brownies. Can't follow Trump scandals. Just too many trucks can do to keep up with his. Keeping up with Trump Scandal is like watching Star Wars movie. You got to watch the third one to understand the first one. Then Easter eggs for the fifth. One is Donald Trump is the only politician who scandals got spin-off, some Disney Plus, Anti security policies are in attack on black history and an attempt to erase the contributions of black people from the history books. You are trying to erase black people, and a lot of black people wouldn't mind. Some of that Erasure, as long as that black person is Clarence, we should be inspired by the events in France, they rioted when the retirement age went up two years to 64th They was riding it cuz I didn't want to work till 64. Meanwhile in America we have an 80 year old man. Begging us for four more years of work. Begging. For tonight. Tonight is all about you all the journalists, The Defenders of free speech. People who show truth to the world through different mediums, through television, through print, through radio, through whatever China, let us see on Tik Tok. But the industry that covers all of these scandals isn't immune to them, their self, the issue, a good media is that most people can't afford that. All the essential fair and nuanced reporting. It's all stuck behind a paywall. People can't afford rent, people can't afford food, not healthy foods. They can't afford an education. They damn sure can't afford to pay for the truth. Things you want about a conspiracy theory, but at least is Affordable. Now, how do we fix this? I don't know. I'm looking median. I was just up here. It's not my job to have the solution that's on y'all. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Highlights from Roy Wood Jr.'s White House Correspondence Dinner Speech","description":"Roy Wood Jr. delivers remarks at the 2023 White House Correspondent's Dinner on April 19.
