Children, for the hundreds of thousands of hard-working immigrants who make this country go, for healthcare, for our climate, for science, for journalism, for justice, for free speech.
It was a terrible night for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors who rely on Social Security, for our allies in Ukraine, for NATO, for the truth.
And democracy and decency.
And it was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him.
And guess what?
It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him, too.
You just don't realize it yet.
You know, I worry more about the audience than I worry about him applauding all that.
But I guess they know.
So his support.
He's in New York, right?
You'll know all this, right, John?
He's in L.A.? I could have been going to a show all this time?
I could go tonight?
I think I'll pass.
But...
We're too stupid to realize it yet.
That's my favorite of his lines.
But you geniuses, you know...
About what's going to happen.
Exactly.
And you know what's right.
We're the stupid people.
Yeah, poor people will suffer.
The middle class.
You know, Kamala Harris claimed she was part of the middle class, and I don't think so.
Oh, did you see that blog shot?
Someone did it on Facebook, I saw, where now that she's lost, she needs a job, and you see her walking into McDonald's for a job, which will be her first time, obviously, because I don't think they ever proved that she worked at McDonald's, but that didn't stop her, you know, telling the truth.
It's not one of her goals.
But Social Security, I guess people who have Social Security, you're going to all lose your benefits?
It was a terrible night for all of you.
You just got to listen to these guys.
And oh, yeah, also part of my favorites.
You guys tell the truth.
You weren't a threat to democracy and decency, locking up people who, you know, went into the Capitol to protest.
You could call it a riot, but it wasn't an insurrection.
And it was just some people, some of them in solitary confinement.
I mean, no, you're no threat to democracy and decency.
And I thought, but I was wrong, Sean.
I was going to say, I haven't watched, and I did say it since Johnny Carson left.
Because you never knew where Johnny Carson was.
I would have guessed he was a liberal, but you never really could figure that out.
He picked on both sides, and he was genuinely funny.
I would love to be a fly on the wall with these people.
Wouldn't you guys love to be a fly on the wall to watch them?
I'm sorry.
I would love to watch their meltdown.
You can answer that, Sean.
Or maybe even see what they really know about these issues.
It doesn't make me look good, but wouldn't you like to watch them now suffering a little bit?
He said he feels guilty watching them brings him such joy.
That's what I'm saying.
I wonder if I should repent that.
Because, you know, it's not the decent thing to do.
But I just...
Are they going to move?
They always threaten.
I heard Bette Midler, you know, she's one of the way out ones.
I think she took down her account, whatever it was.
Barbra Streisand years ago threatened to leave.
They never leave.
I wonder if it's because this country is so great.
Even, even maybe under Trump, the things you say.
What Whoopi Goldberg and the rest of these people say, you know, I catch clips, I don't watch these shows, but...
Well, first of all, I saw her on tape saying, the next President of the United States, Kamala Harris.
