When the statement "George Carlin tells the truth" is made, no duh, he does tell the truth, more often than not.

But the video in the OP is trying to juxtapose Carlin's act from over a decade ago to current events, and that is insincere.

He was truly a comic genius. The mixing of tragedy to create real comedy never had a finer muse.
