IT'S A GUN OR A BABY, YOU'RE CARRYING SOMETHING [ LAUGHTER ]
THAT'S RIGHT ON FRIDAY, THE SUPREME COURT VOTED TO OVERTURN ROE V. WADE.
I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT PLENTY OF PEOPLE ARE FURIOUS WITH THE SUPREME COURT RIGHT
NOW. AND IN AN ATTEMPT TO TAMP DOWN THE ANGER, THE SUPREME COURT
RELEASED THIS MESSAGE. WATCH THIS
>> WE HERE AT THE SUPREME COURT RECOGNIZE THAT MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE ANGRY OVER OUR
RECENT ACTIONS BUT WE REALLY WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.

[ MUMBLING ] AND YOU CAN ALWAYS WRITE TO US AT THE ADDRESS ON THE SCREEN
THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. BECAUSE YOUR OPINION MATTERS
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE >> Jimmy: YOU JUST FIND THE ADDRESS.
IN RESPONSE TO THE RULING, PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID THE COURT IS LITERALLY TAKING AMERICA
BACK 150 YEARS AND IF THERE'S ANYONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THINGS WERE LIKE BACK
THEN, IT WOULD BE PRESIDENT BIDEN. [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
I SAW THAT HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI RESPONDED TO THE COURT'S DECISION BY READING
A POEM [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] EVEN DEMOCRATS WERE LIKE,
"LOOK, IF THIS POEM DOESN'T START OFF WITH CLARENCE THOMAS AND END WITH NANTUCKET, WE
DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT. [ LAUGHTER ] MEANWHILE, AFTER THE DECISION,
CLARENCE THOMAS WENT EVEN FURTHER AND BROUGHT UP BANNING CONTRACEPTION.
[ AUDIENCE GROANS IT'S ALL PART OF HIS PLAN, "OPERATION GET MY WIFE OUT OF
THE NEWS." [ LAUGHTER ] THAT'S RIGHT
A NEW POLL CONDUCTED THIS WEEKEND. A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS SAID
THAT THEY DON'T AGREE WITH THE SUPREME COURT'S RULING IN FACT, 59% OF AMERICANS SAID
THAT THEY DISAPPROVE OF THE RULING AND THAT'S NOT ALL
52% OF AMERICANS SAID THAT IT'S A STEP BACKWARD FOR AMERICA. WHILE 48% SAID "CIRCLE BACK
NEXT WEEK. I'M STILL MAD ABOUT THE JANUARY 6th HEARINGS AND HOW
EVERYONE JUST KIND OF DECIDED THE PANDEMIC WAS OVER. [ LAUGHTER ]

HOW POLITICS AFFECT THEM, THEN PAID 100 BUCKS TO FILL THEIR GAS TANK
[ LAUGHTER ] AND FINALLY, 68% SAID, "I'M LITERALLY TOO ANGRY TO ANSWER
