Transcript

00:00Well, there's a couple of things I have to accomplish, and if I do, I think I'll be able

00:06to put my little tile in the grand mosaic of life.

00:09And those two things are, I'd like to overthrow the government of the United States, and I'd

00:13like to close the Catholic Church.

00:15Barry Crimmins was this weird mythical force.

00:18He'd spawn all of these great humorists.

00:20Paula Poundstone, Lenny, Kevin Meany, Dennis Leary.

00:24He was a guy who you heard about before you actually saw this whispered-about presence.

00:29I never met anyone like him.

00:31It's just this combination of Noam Chomsky and Bluto.

00:37I got caught smuggling books into Kentucky.

00:40Got off on a technicality no one could prove they were books.

00:44Why do women go to the Malcolm in Paris?

00:46Because they get hassled by drunk men.

00:48He would go into a rage.

00:49I watch the kind of stuff I can do here.

00:51Just get up!

00:52I don't like you!

00:52He stopped, I think, worrying about whether he was being funny or not.

00:56There was a lot of personal things that happened in his life when he was young that came out later.

01:05It was the most shocking thing, I think, in my life that I heard.

01:08It's scary for anybody of any age to really see someone who's the face of evil.

01:13When AOL was in its infancy, he was looking for other survivors in the chat rooms.

01:21Barry called me up, he said, look at this.

01:22And I went, wow.

01:24I couldn't believe, you know, what I was seeing.

01:27I just can't imagine pretending to be one of these people that cost him such misery.

01:31He was angry.

01:32He essentially left us with a big problem.

01:34He damaged himself to save these kids.

01:36After months of knocking on AOL's door, I was suddenly face-to-face before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.

01:44AOL is the key link in a network of child pornography traffickers.

01:48They weren't quite sure what to make of Barry.

01:52We cannot surrender being rude, funny, obnoxious truth-tellers.

01:58I can't think of anybody that I respect more than Barry.

02:01He's a reminder that you do have power.

02:03No matter what they do, I'm a witness to what you can go on to become, call me lucky.
