(Some of) Trump’s Wildest Executive Orders Explained

Hi friends,

This week I wanted to share my thoughts on some of Donald Trump’s Executive Orders and what they mean as well as some of the fallout since he has signed them.

Hit me on them internets:

Something I didn’t realize until this weekend, when I saw Josh in Houston- he doesn’t just change his set for every day/city of the tour, he changes it every show. I saw the show a few hours before this one and the punchlines are at different places, the setups are navigated differently, and they landed every time. Crazy impressive skill to be able to read every audience and every moment and alter on the spot.

Kudos to the Jewish Fox news host who called it a nazi salute and when her cohost said it wasn't, she dared him to do the "gesture" on live tv! She said it three times and he said nothing. 👏

I am the terror of my family, an old woman in Memphis, Tennessee, who deeply opposes Trump and his bullies. I voted for Kamala Harris; my family did not. They are all MAGA Republicans (you know how deeply inculcated they are, how hard to reason with). I will be protesting when it comes to that, with my sign and my walker. I found your channel and hope I am welcome here, because I am not welcome in my family or my state. Everyone I know has gone crazy. Keep on keeping on, Josh:) You nail the problems we all will face.

Hey I'm an accountant so I've done the math and I just want to confirm that if it costs $700, 000 to deport 80 people, deporting 11 million will cost a fuckton.

I was recently diagnosed with autism, at 50. I have never thrown my heart with a Nazi salute, because I'm not a racist/Nazi. End of story.

I come to Josh Johnson when I want to hear the news and walk away thinking that regardless of what the government does, the world still isn't as bleak as it feels sometimes.

Amen

Trump saying he knew nothing about Project 2025 is like a dude telling his girl he don't know who a girl is and then the day after they break up he starts dating that girl

Sir, you are doing the Lord’s work. Education through comedy. We need you in these tough times and I’m proud to support you.😊

This dude is got to be one of the smartest comedians around. His material is spot on and so current. No cursing or vulgarity needed to make a point. So darn refreshing!

[YA-ougl]

This man pulled off a "who's on first" flawlessly. Impeccable.

I don't know why people don't remember the son of one of the pardoned ones testified against his father after being threatened with no longer being here if he snitched. My heart goes out to that young man.

[MP-ilys]

This was actual therapy. I don’t think Josh understands how important his work is in times like these. He’s providing information, helping us process our grief, and helping us feel like a community laughing together and commiserating. Thank you Josh, for all you do.

When parents get emails from the school that immigration now has permissions to walk through schools and stop kids at bus stops, I've never been more scared dude.

I am a healthcare provider who worked through the entire pandemic. Thank you Josh. Appreciate you explaining why we need WHO.

I have a good friend who has immigrated from Fiji legally, and gets her income tax taken out of her check and DOES NOT get a tax return like American citizens do. American citizens would wage war if they didn't get their tax returns. I don't get mine because as a payment for my government health care I give up my federal tax return. The whole "they don't pay their taxes" BS doesn't have truth for legal immigrants. Also Josh is right, they buy food, clothes, furniture and other goods that are taxed. AND no one can get benefits WITHOUT proving citizenship! It's hard to get ANY government assistance WITH ALL your documents as an American born citizen!

"He's got the moustache of someone who retired from tying women to train tracks." Josh you are too funny 😂

Love his technique of giving us news comically that can be fearful and so sad, but he helps us to smile through.
