[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE THANK YOU FOR WATCHING YOU ARE HERE
IT IS GREAT DAY TO BE IN NEW YORK CITY. WELL, UNLESS YOU'RE ONE PERSON
[ LAUGHTER ] TODAY-- HISTORY WAS MADE TODAY IN NEW YORK CITY AS FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAME THE FIRST U.S. PRESIDENT TO EVER BE ARRESTED AND FACE CRIMINAL
CHARGES. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE WHEN THEY HEARD, NEW YORKERS
WERE LIKE-- ♪ IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME ♪ [ LAUGHTER ]
YEAH TRUMP MADE HISTORY THE ONLY GOOD NEWS FOR TRUMP--
IN FLORIDA, ALL THE HISTORY BOOKS HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT, SO IT'S ALL RIGHT
[ LAUGHTER ] MEANWHILE, ON HIS WAY TO COURT, TRUMP POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA
FROM THE CAR HE WROTE, "HEADING TO LOWER MANHATTAN, THE COURTHOUSE.
SEEMS SO SURREAL-- WOW, THEY ARE GOING TO ARREST ME [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA MAGA."
[ LAUGHTER ] WHEN TRUMP SITS IN THE BACK OF A CAR, HE'S LIKE A LITTLE KID,
YOU GOTTA GIVE HIM A BAG OF CHEERIOS AND AN iPAD [ LAUGHTER ]
IT'S LIKE, "OH, WE'LL BE AT COURT SOON, HONEY. TRUMP EVENTUALLY REACHED THE
TRUMP EVENTUALLY REACHED THE COURTHOUSE HERE HE IS WALKING IN.
THEY HAVE A HANDLE OF THE SECURITY HERE. AND THEN YOU SEE THE FORMER
PRESIDENT-- Jimmy: YEAH, HE GAVE A-- GAVE A LITTLE WAVE THERE
[ LAUGHTER ] GAVE A LITTLE-- WHO IS IT?
CAN WE SEE WHO HE'S WAVING AT?
AND THEN YOU SEE THE FORMER PRESIDENT-- [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
Jimmy: THAT IS-- THAT IS-- THE ODDS-- THE ODDS OF THAT HAPPENING.
THE ODDS OF THAT HAPPENING [ LAUGHTER ] WOW.
WELL, ONCE HE WAS INSIDE, TRUMP WAS BOOKED AND FINGERPRINTED IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HIS
FINGERPRINTS LOOK LIKE, JUST LOOK AT A "DON'T WALK" SIGN. [ LAUGHTER ]
YEP, TRUMP WAS ACTUALLY FINGERPRINTED. THEY DIDN'T EVEN USE AN INK
PAD, THEY JUST USED THE McRIB SAUCE THAT WAS ALREADY ON HIS FINGERS.
[ LAUGHTER ] ONCE HE GOT INSIDE THE COURTROOM, TRUMP WAS FORMALLY
CHARGED WITH 34 COUNTS OF FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS IN THE FIRST DEGREE, WHICH ARE
CLASS E FELONIES YEP, TRUMP WAS LIKE, "OF COURSE THEY WERE VERY CLASSY FELONIES
[ LAUGHTER ] SOME WOULD SAY THE CLASSIEST OF FELONIES."
[ LAUGHTER ] IF THIS GOES TO TRIAL, PROSECUTORS PLAN TO CALL
STORMY DANIELS AS A WITNESS. STORMY DANIELS-- YEAH STORMY DANIELS HEARD AND WAS
LIKE, "HAVEN'T I WITNESSED ENOUGH?" [ LAUGHTER ]
HERE'S A PICTURE OF TRUMP INSIDE THE COURTROOM OOH.
HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S WATCHING ANOTHER TABLE AT APPLEBEE'S GET THEIR FOOD FIRST
[ LAUGHTER ] CAN WE SEE HIM AGAIN, THAT FACE

THROUGH TWO UNSKIPPABLE ADS ON YOUTUBE. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]

[ AUDIENCE OHS ] [ RIM SHOT ] MEANWHILE, EARLIER TODAY,
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE AND GEORGE SANTOS BOTH SHOWED UP OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE, AND IT
WAS ABSOLUTE CHAOS IT WAS BASICALLY THE CRAZIEST THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE.
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] EVEN TIMES SQUARE ELMO WAS LIKE, "IF THEY TRY TO ENGAGE,
JUST WALK RIGHT PAST 'EM." [ LAUGHTER ] "DON'T EVEN-- DON'T ENGAGE
WITH THEM. YEAH, AS SOON AS GEORGE SANTOS SHOWED UP OUTSIDE THE
COURTHOUSE, HE WAS SWARMED BY REPORTERS. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS PHOTO.
YEAH TRUMP-- TRUMP SAW THE MEDIA FOLLOWING SANTOS, WAS LIKE,
"HEY, GET YOUR OWN ARRAIGNMENT. [ LAUGHTER ]
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE WAS THEN INTERVIEWED ABOUT TRUMP'S
INDICTMENT AND SHE MADE AN INTERESTING COMPARISON LISTEN TO THIS
THINK ABOUT THIS - PRESIDENT TRUMP IS JOINING SOME OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE PEOPLE
IN HISTORY BEING ARRESTED TODAY. NELSON MANDELA WAS ARRESTED,
SERVED TIME IN PRISON. JESUS, JESUS WAS ARRESTED. [ LAUGHTER ]
Jimmy: JESUS-- JESUS SAW THAT AND SAID, "JESUS! [ LAUGHTER ]
[ RIM SHOT ] [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE THAT WAS A LONG DAY OF MEDIA
COVERAGE WITH REPORTERS STARTING EARLY IN THE MORNING AND TALKING NONSTOP ABOUT THE
CASE I ADMIRE THEIR DEDICATION, BUT I THINK SOME OF THEM NEED TO
TAKE A BREAK CHECK OUT THIS CLIP I SAW EARLIER TODAY ON CNN
[ SPEAKING HOARSELY AFTER THE SEARCH WARRANT AT MAR-A-LAGO, HE RAISED A MILLION
DOLLARS. AFTER BEING INDICTED, HE RAISED $7 MILLION
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] WE DO KNOW THAT THERE'S A A VIDEOGRAPHER ALONG WITH HIM,
RIGHT NOW. IT'S NOT THAT OUT OF THE ORDINARY TO ASK FOR A CHANGE IN
VENUE. STATEN ISLAND, I THINK, WENT MAJORITY FOR TRUMP, SO NO
WONDER HE'S TRYING TO GET OVER THERE AGAIN. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
Jimmy: A LITTLE WATER OR SOMETHING? A LITTLE WATER
OH, AND I SAW THAT SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM SAID TRUMP'S INDICTMENT ALMOST ENSURES THAT
HE'LL BE THE 2024 REPUBLICAN NOMINEE. BUT NOW SEVERAL OTHER MEMBERS
OF CONGRESS ARE SPEAKING OUT ABOUT THE SITUATION. FOR EXAMPLE, SENATOR MARK KELLY
SAID, "TRUMP'S ARRAIGNMENT WILL ABSOLUTELY BOLSTER HIS BASE, BUT FRANKLY THIS WHOLE THING IS
GETTIG OLD, MAN." [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] THEN CONGRESSMAN JACK BERGMAN
SAID, "DID SOMEONE SAY 'OLD MAN' SORRY, I THOUGHT YOU WERE
TALKING ABOUT ME ANYWAY - [ LAUGHTER ]
THIS WHOLE THING IS INSANE." AND CONGRESSWOMAN MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE SAID,
"DID SOMEONE SAY 'INSANE'? SORRY-- [ LAUGHTER ]
I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT ME ANYWAY, I THINK PRESIDENT TRUMP
IS THE MAN, BABY." THEN CONGRESSMAN RAUL RUIZ SAID, "DID SOMEBODY SAY
'MAN-BABY' ANYWAY, I'M SO STRESSED. [ LAUGHTER ]
I MIGHT GO TO MY FAVORITE BAR AND DOWN A COUPLE LONG NECKS." AND SENATOR TOM COTTON SAID,
"DID SOMEBODY SAY 'LONG NECK'? [ LAUGHTER ] ANYWAY, WE'RE SO DIVIDED -
- [ LAUGHTER ] - - INTO LEFT AND RIGHT, IT FEELS LIKE THERE'S NOTHING LEFT
IN THE MIDDLE. CONGRESSMAN BRAD SHERMAN SAID, "DID SOMEONE SAY 'NOTHING LEFT
IN THE MIDDLE' [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ANYWAY, I FIND THESE -
[ APPLAUSE ] I FIND THESE ELECTIONS EXCITING
BACK IN THE DAY THEY USED TO DRAG QUITE A BIT." CONGRESSMAN GEORGE SANTOS SAID,
"DID SOMEONE SAY 'USED TO DRAG'? [ AUDIENCE OHS ]
[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ANYWAY, I TEND TO GET IN TROUBLE WHEN I TALK, SO I'M
GONNA BITE MY LIP. THEN CONGRESSWOMAN CHELLIE PINGREE SAID, "DID
SOMEBODY SAY 'BITE MY LIP' [ LAUGHTER ] ANYWAY, I THINK THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE A GOOD HARD LOOK INTO THEIR OWN SOULS. THEN CONGRESSMAN RICHARD NEAL
SAID, "DID SOMEONE SAY 'LOOK INTO YOUR SOUL'? [ LAUGHTER ]

SCHOOL PHONE BOX, AND MY MOM FOUND A NECKLACE AND-- BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH MONEY, SHE
HANDED INTO THE POLICE, NOBODY CLAIMED IT AND I WAS GIVEN, BY MY MOM, THE
$200 TO USE FOR IN THE PHONE BOX TO TRY TO GET THE ADVERTISING TO START THE
MAGAZINE AND-- AND THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS REALLY OUR COMPLETE
FUNDING TO, YOU KNOW, BUILD THE MAGAZINE, THEN TO START BUILDING VIRGIN RECORDS--
Jimmy: VIRGIN RECORDS --- AND ONE THING LET ONTO ANOTHER.
