Destroyed more than four miles of buildings. And the original emancipation proclamation. And in 1940, german troops occupied romania. In 1952, the worst a little rail crash. Rail crash. And on 1970, this baby was born and mutated into the monster now known as matt damon. [cheers and applause] and somewhere, right now, matt is celebrating by eating a free ice cream sundae all alone at ihop. You know, for whatever reason, matt has a star on the hollywood walk of fame. Can we get a shot of that . And because i am the bigger man, i thought it would be nice to put aside our differences and what oh, my god, oh, no, thats not, you hate to see that happen on this special day. Matt damons birth someday a good reminder that there are bad things happening in this country that have nothing to do with the president at all. It was another impeachykeen day in washington. Congress was supposed to hear testimony from gordon sondland. He was scheduled to spill the borsht. Before three house committees today, regarding very suspicious Text Messages he sent about ukraine. But the white house put the brakes on that. He was told in the middle of the night he was not permitted to testify. The president wrote, i would love to send ambassador sondland, but hed be testifying before a truly kangaroo court. Where republicans rights have been taken away and true facts are not allowed out for the public to see. Importantly, the tweet it was a text by the way says i believe youre incorrect about the president s intentions. The president has been Crystal Clear. No quid pro quo of any kind. That says it all. And that doesnt say it all. The president is referencing a text between sondland and bill taylor. Keep in mind, trump mysteriously put military aid on hold. A few days before he asked the ukrainian president to investigate hunter biden, joe bidens son. On september 1st, the ambassador wrote, are we now saying that Security Assistance and white house meeting are conditioned on investigations, and sondland wrote back, uh, call me. That doesnt sound fishy at all. So he called him. And about a week later, taylor wrote, as i said on the phone, i think its crazy to withhold Security Assistance for help with a political campaign, which is essentially what trump is going to be impeached for. Sondland doesnt respond to that until the next morning. Sondland says i believe you are incorrect about president trumps intention. The president has been Crystal Clear. The president is trying to evaluate whether ukraine is truly going to adopt the transparency and reforms that president zelinsky promised during his campaign. I suggest we stop the back and forth by text. Yeah, i bet you do. I suggest you give lisa kenna or s a call. Like a guilty husband who found out his wife got into his dms . Then five hours of silence, i would never have sex with you. How dare you attempt to copulate with me. And the bigly question of course, after he got that text about withholding the aid money, did sondland call donald trump . Yes, he texted this Crystal Clear message back to cover the president s big orange ass. And that is what says it all. So the white house this afternoon sent an eightpage letter to democrats saying they would not cooperate with the impeachment inquiry. Theyre also withholding Text Messages from sondlands personal phone. Gordon sondland got the job after he contributed a Million Dollars to trumps inauguration fund. Its obvious the white house thinks he knows too much. While we should have the opportunity to hear his testimony, really, we dont need to hear his testimony. We have the white houses own transcript of the call with the ukrainian president where trump specifically asks him to investigate the bidens days after withholding their military aid. So the New York Times today reported that a white house official who was on the line during the call said trumps behavior was said to be crazy and frightening, like it is on most perfect calls. Times says the white house lawyers were trying to figure out what to do after the call because in their words the president had clearly committed a criminal act by urging a foreign power to investigate a u. S. Person for the purposes of advancing his own reelection bid in 2020. Oops . How dumb is this guy . And these jackals who rally around him, they are so desperately trying to defend something they know nothing about, and theyre doing it by discrediting the very house of representatives they are in. We would like to see the volker testimony released before we continue the depositions and transcribed interviews. And what we see in this impeachment is a kangaroo court. And chairman schiff is acting like a malicious captain kangaroo. This is a political clown show. Jimmy i will not argue that. This is a clown show, and we have president it running it. As the impeachment is ramping up, the president is melting down. Hes said to be so paranoid about leakers he wants everyone in the white house to submit to lie detector tests. I have three words for that. You go first. [cheers and applause] can you imagine, he wants all his staffers. I actually love this idea. I think he stumbled on the idea for his next reality show. I would watch the heck out of it. He wants to give other people a lie detector. This is like pooping your pants and walkin around yellin, someone in here stinks. Meanwhile, with all this hell breaking loose, where in the world is trumps old pal sean spicer . Jimmy somehow sean spicer is still dancing with the stars. Lamar odom got eliminated last night. He will not go home empty handed. Watch lamar odum on the left as he makes an unprecedented dancing with the stars move. That was so good. Two things. I cant even speak i was so excited. We were all, like, i cant even speak i was so excited. We were all just smiling. Jimmy when youre that tall, anyway, i mentioned this last night. A bit down the road from us in West Hollywood theyre having what they call the first cannabis cafe in the united states, a restaurant where you can smoke pot and eat and people are lining up to get in.

[cheers and applause] jimmy you should be. Now, was that hard to figure it out to whittle it down to, i mean, there must have been some people right on the bubble that you couldnt name a sound stage after. Spike lee was a tossup. No, im kiddin. No, spike is, yes, spike is one of the ones i honored. Absolutely, so yeah. So no, it wasnt hard at all. Because, you know, heres the thing. Diahann carroll. Jimmy yep.

So no, listen, between him and the guest list was amazing. Jimmy who else was there . Will smith, halle berry, denzel, beyonce, jay z. It was an amazing moment. Jimmy do they all stay at your house . No, but we all shut down the city of atlanta. It was wonderful. Jimmy people freak out about, two people, beyonce and oprah. Its like they cannot deal with it. Yeah, and they were both in the place. It was phenomenal. Jimmy did they interact . The world could potentially start spinning off its axis. Yeah, but she had this long braid that went down to the floor, so we could all grab on. Jimmy congratulations on that. I know its a historic thing. [cheers and applause] its incredible. It really is. Thank you, thank you. Jimmy did you ever think about naming it madeasnyland . Hmm.

Jimmy how much was that invitation. No, no, dont worry about it. Just know that 800 went out. No, 400 went out. Jimmy i feel like i have to give you a present of some kind. No, just send a card. Jimmy im going to pull the tv off my wall. I decided to go to italy for my birthday. Because, you know, it was too close. It was just a small thing. Jimmy thats a small thing to go to italy . A few of my good friends went and had a good time. Jimmy you own an island still, yes . I do. But in all fairness, and to, you know, my birthday happened right as the hurricane was in the bahamas, so i was using my plane to fly aid in there and try and help and everything i could there, so that people of the bahamas were taken care of. [cheers and applause] and i didnt want to be there in the middle of the air traffic and everybody trying to get in to get help. So thats why i went to somewhere else. Jimmy did you ever imagine in your life youd be saying like, you know, the reason i went to italy for my birthday because my plane was flying to the bahamas to rescue people from my island. Yeah. Thank you for making me sound this small. Jimmy small . Sometimes im talkin to people, and ill say you know, i was just talkin to oprah, and theyre like, youre namedropping, but thats my life.
