Summary
Highlights
Jimmy begins by noting the unusual atmosphere in Hollywood the day after the Oscars. He humorously points out that the Dolby Theater, where the Academy Awards are held, is located in a mall. He mentions 'One Battle After Another' won six Oscars, including Best Picture, and Michael B. Jordan won Best Actor. A humorous aside is made about the K-pop Demon Hunter song 'Golden' winning Best Original Song. The most unexpected moment of the night was a tie for Live-Action Short, the first since 2013.
The discussion pivots to President Trump's actions regarding the war in Iran, which is in its third week and has cost over $16 billion and 13 US service members' lives. Jimmy criticizes Trump's claims of winning the war and his evolving stance on protesters. He highlights Trump's recent low energy and slurred speech, suggesting stress from his decisions. Trump's comments about killing 'scumbags' and his past 'great honors' are also brought up.
Jimmy recounts an incident where Trump committed a HIPAA violation by publicly discussing Congressman Neil Dunn's terminal diagnosis. He then criticizes Trump's negative responses to media questions about fallen soldiers, specifically targeting ABC News. Trump is further criticized for using FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to threaten news organizations with license revocations if their coverage is deemed 'fake news', a term Jimmy attributes to Trump and his allies.
The segment introduces 'fair, balanced, and highly educated YouTuber/stuntboxer' Jake Paul, who expresses interest in running for office, a development Jimmy attributes to Trump's influence. The video then transitions back to a humorous red carpet segment with 'GMO' (Guillermo Rodriguez) at the Oscars, where he offers tequila shots to attendees and attempts to get into an after-party.
