## Transcript

Welcome to Full Frontal's not the one house correspondence dinner. [ APPLAUSE ] We are so thrilled to be here at beautiful Constitution Hall owned by the Daughters of the American Revolution also known as the executive Vice Presidents's of the American Revolution. The assistants to the President of the American Revolution and the envoys to Germany of the American Revolution. As much as I might love poking fun at the media and as much as you all kind of deserve it, sometimes I know your job has never been harder. Potus has convinced 88 % of his fans that you're an enemy of the people You basically get paid to stand in a cage while a geriatric orangatuang and his pet mob scream at you.

It; s like a verse zoo but you carry on. You dig up misdeeds and fraud by the powerful, you expose injustice against the weak and you continue to fact check the president as if he might someday get embarrassed [ APPLAUSE ] Tonight is for you. Tonight the president screams at a pen that Katy Tur is not in, cheers. [ APPLAUSE ]
