Steve ooh. [ light laughter ] jimmy some big news from washington today, for the first time in history, the house voted to oust its speaker. [ audience oohs thats right after only nine months on the job, Kevin Mccarthy has been removed as speaker of the house. Yeah yeah, nine months. Even Aaron Rodgers is like, damn, that was fast. [ laughter and applause nine months, ive been to phish concerts longer than that. [ light laughter ] anyway, now that mccarthys run as speaker is over, i thought it would be fun to take a look back at his greatest moments as speaker of the house [ gavel pounding ] [ laughter and applause jimmy well, the other big story is trumps fraud trial is underway and after his big day in court, he posted this is real he posted a i know, i have to say it. Because a lot of people wont believe its real. It is real he posted a sketch of jesus sitting next to him in the courtroom. Take a look at this. [ laughter ] when jesus saw what he posted, he said, oh, my dad. [ laughter ] but did you see this yesterday, trump apparently had a huge mcdonalds order delivered to the courthouse. [ light laughter ] this is a photo of the delivery look at this wow [ audience ohs ] thats not mcdonalds delivery thats mcdonalds luggage. [ light laughter ] by the way, trump eating mcdonalds is not really news, i dont think. Now, if trump orders a quinoa bowl from sweetgreen, thats news i think that would [ light laughter ] but, get this, though, trump complained that its unfair that his trial doesnt have a jury but the reason it doesnt have a jury is because his lawyers never asked for one. [ light laughter ] this is true to be fair, trump cant have a a jury of his peers. I mean, where are they going to get 12 bankrupt former reality show hosts [ laughter ] you know its not good when youre missing the legal competence of rudy giuliani.
