when we listen to stephen colbert or john oliver or jon stewart, we are going to them not just for comedy, but for critical perspectives, just like listening to lenny made us both laugh and think. and sometimes it always made us ofirm, because a part lenny's genius was how he related to an audience, how he created for them and with them the experience of being overcome with laughter over that which was both hilarious and transgressive. do a time of the charlie heb murders, we would do well to think about the role of humor and what are perhaps hunting theledge -- what are perhaps unacknowledged limits of today. "the history of the law of free expression is one of the and involvingin cases speech that many citizens find shabby, offensive, or even ugly." a firstl, we don't need amendment to protect popular speech. the first amendment is unique to america, and in theory, widely admired, but so much of our discourse about freedom of speech is abstract, starting with the fact that it is important to understand that free speech and the first amendment are not the same thing. the first amendment

john oliver was a big catalyst for why these newspaper stocks are doing so well. >> john oliver has anday where he was looking at how there was a lot of fake news that was spread, especially on social media before the election, and encouraged his viewers to support actual journalism, he called it, and called out "the washington post" "the new york times and" or your local newspapers, saying you need to subscribe and support your local news sources. i spoke to the president of pro-public on monday. he said they normally get 10 donations a day but the day after the john oliver segment, there are getting three donations a minute. it's an ironic twist on what happened now with trump being the president were a lot of people were expecting this very combative relationship between him and e press, and in some ways at least for the first weeks since he's been elected, it's been a boon for the newspaper industry. julie: it's not as though trump has been the only one critical of newspapers and the quote unquote traditional media in the wake of the election. even the news outlets themselves, the

or instead soulless gollum, to repeat whatever talking point john oliver stated the night of about. > conveying here? >> spencer is a skilled provocateur, and he's dredging up words that are well-known to his audience, lugenpresse is a term coined during the first world war popularized by the nazis. he's dredging up an image from jewish history. what he's trying to do is portray the press as subhuman and alien and the enemies of spencer and his movement. >> right, and so do you view it as directly anti-semitic, what with all the nazi references? >> i don't think there's any question about that. i doubt spencer would refute that either. he said it was exuberance. our producers who were there said he was right about the exuberance. this is a crowd that was empowered by donald trump's win. and whatever donald trump thinks of him, they're quite clear at that they see in his election the signal this they've been waiting for, that this is an opportunity for white nationalism. >> let me read to you what the u.s. holocaust museum says about this. they do not weigh in on every political debate
