now, now, if you've been able tosift through the massive amounts of trump trash in the news, then you might have hearda little something about this. a historic moment todayin our nation's capital. congress handing president obamaa stinging defeat, overriding his veto. the battle concerning a bill that would allow 9/11 familymembers to sue saudi arabia for an alleged rolein those attacks.
woman: it is the first time he's ever had one of his vetoes reversed during his presidency. oh, man, that must suckfor president obama. he vetoed it, they overrode it. congress put his thing down,flipped it and reversed it. -is your fliminithafang yang? -(laughter) is your fliminitha fang yang? now, you might be wondering whypresident obama is trying to protect saudi arabiafrom being sued by 9/11 victims.
you know, is it becausehe's a secret muslim? -well, yes, but...(laughter) obama also objected because this international lawsuit billmight come back to bite america in the ass. you see, most major countriesoperate under a principle called"sovereign immunity," which prevents private parties, like families,from suing other countries.
for example, it's the reason people in nagasakicouldn't sue america for dropping the nuclear bomb,all right? it's he same reason americancitizens couldn't sue england -for sending them piers morgan,you know? -(laughter) you get what i'm saying.you get what i'm saying. (applause) so, by overriding obama's veto,congress has opened the door to letting other country'scitizens sue americans
in their courts. but, i mean, look,that's only an issue for america if america had ever donesomething wrong -anywhere in the world, right?-(laughter) and, apparently, america might have done something wrong. yeah. because right afterthey had voted to override obama's veto, 28 senators then came outsuggesting that maybethis wasn't such a good idea,
even thoughthey had voted for it twice. now you might be going,"oh, that's so strange, trevor. "i don't understand. why wouldthey vote to override the thing and then go back against it?" because it's not aboutwhat they feel. it's about what they want peopleto think they feel. they're not doing thisto be good people. they just don't wantto be the guys who voted against the 9/11 bill.
who were the only twowho voted against it? obama, basically, and one othersenator who's retiring. it's all about being reelected. everyone has their excuses. and senate majority leadermitch mcconnell-- he had the (bleep) excuse ever. nobody really had focusedon the potential downside in terms of our internationalrelationships. and i thinkit was just a ball dropped.
i wish the president... you know, i hate to blameeverything on him, and i don't, but it would have been helpfulhad he, uh... we had a discussion about thismuch earlier than last week. blah, blah, blah,blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. -(laughter) -blah, blah, blah,blah, blah, blah. you know, for a guywho claims to hate... uh, to blame everythingon obama, he sure seems to blameeverything on obama, you know?
like he's in bed with his wife, and she's like,"don't worry, honey. it happens to lots of guys." he's like, "it's not me!it's obama!" -(laughter)-"it's obama! -it's not me! it's obama!"-(applause) and she's like "oh,you're thinking of him, too?" (laughter and groaning) that's whatmitch mcconnell is saying.
he wouldn't have madethe same decision if only obama had warned him. if only obama had warned anyone. like, maybeif he had done it on tv, back in april,with charlie rose. if we are in a situation where we're suddenly beinghauled into various courts, because of the claim that some individualshave been harmed,
then that will tie us up, and it could harm u.s.servicemen, u.s. diplomats, a whole bunch of stuff. there's obama on tv! you don't get a bigger warningthan that! actually, wait. i'm wrong. there was a bigger warningthan that. it's the factthat he vetoed the (bleep) bill! -he vetoed the bill!-(applause and cheering)
that's the warning! how do you not see this?! you're like moses standingat the parting of the red sea, going, "if only we had a signfrom god." -(laughter) "if only there was a sign!" now for more on the potentialconsequences of the 9/11 bill, we turn to roy wood, jr.,everybody. -roy wood, jr.'s here.-(cheers and applause) -good to see you, roy.-yeah.
-good to see you.-good to see you, man. -good to see you? -how you been,simba? you been good? -i've been good, roy.-yeah, man. well, look, i don't know whyyou're so worried about it, 'cause if this bill opens upcountries to getting sued, then all i got to say is,"finally!" wait, wait, roy,you're excited about this? hell, yeah! in fact, i'd like to officially announcethat i'm gonna be suing europe.
wait. suing europe for what? -for slavery.-(laughter) england, i'm starting with you, 'cause that's wherewhite people come from, and... -(laughter) -and you can'tbrexit your way out of this one. oh, and, spain, oh, spain,y'all better get y'all nap now, bitch,'cause roy's comin'. oh, oh, oh. and i hadn'tforgotten about the dutch, with your garbage-ass windmillsand your wooden shoes.
i'm about to put a clogin your whole legal system. you rembrandtmother (bleep), you. roy, roy, roy, roy, roy. -oh-ho-ho. look, i'm not sayingthis is a bad idea. -oh, this is a good one.-(laughter) but, then, you have to provethat slavery -was a form of terrorism.-oh, well, that's easy, man. i'll show them a copy of django. i got that (bleep) on blu-ray. (laughter, applause)
oh. and by the way,i'm not stopping with europe. bermuda, you're getting sued. bahamas, you're getting sued. anywhere that slave shipstopped, you're getting sued. ♪ aruba, jamaica,ooh, i wanna take ya ♪ to court and sue your ass! (laughter, cheering, applause) -roy...-it's on.
roy... you can't just goaround the world -it's on. suing everybody; it's gonnaget out of hand. -(laughing) tell it to the judge, simba,'cause i'm suing africa, too. (laughter) i'm sorry,wh-why would you sue africa? because youdidn't come rescue us! you knew it wasn't a vacation. we didn't pack no luggage, bruh. what you thought, you thoughtthose white people was gonna
take us snorkeling, that'swhere you thought we was going? no, roy,i think africans were dealing -with some other (bleep), man.-oh, look, man, y'all about to dealwith some serious (bleep) now.
