Is the first 18 min funny? I watched the last bit which was good.

Yeah, he roasts Hillary, Trump, the media, everyone. Then he sets the room on fire.

Right about 12:00 it starts getting rough and just keeps accelerating.

But....wow.

What preceded his epic truth-telling was deeply touching.

I should have done more.

And then he does.

Nice.
To me he's essentially saying 'We know you're "values" and "strongly held beliefs" are for sale. Is 10% over the current rate (set by the NRA and accepted by congress) enough for the people to buy them back?'
I actually think this is a MUCH better plan than using the money for adds or other often ignored lobbying....just hand it to them and tell them what we want for it. It could actually work. *quality idea

This was perfect.

I love civil liberties.

I wish the 'float all boats' rhetoric was as taken to heart as its claimed to be.

In that regard, negatively invoking the NRA requires some cognitive dissonance. NRA members are regular people, and they're all around. 1/3 of U.S. homes are armed. The NRA guards those people's rights. That's why the NRA is so strong.

Civil liberties also includes the freedom of expression. That's at odds with curtailing anti-<name a group> rhetoric.

I'm all for maximal civil liberties. But folks need to realize that it involves letting others live their lives in a way that you might not like - and that you might be living a life that others don't like.

I'm ok with that. But there are a lot of people that can't stand other people going about their own business in a disapproved of manner. And there are a lot of people that can't stand being disliked (even when left alone). These sorts of people inevitably cause problems when they feel compelled to do something about how other people live.
