And hearing things like this always get me to thinking, you know, im getting older and sometimes i look around and well, i dont even recognize the world im living in. Things are changing every day and not always for the better. And sometimes, i like to think about how things were a little bit more simple. Even putting on sweaters were easier. [ light laughter ] back in my day. [ cheers and applause ] seth back in my day, airlines werent physically assaulting passengers. That was the tsas job. [ light laughter ] and boy, did they love those patdowns. When they checked your balls, they used the back of their hand. Which somehow made it creepier.

[ light laughter ] back in my day, we didnt have venmo. If you wanted someone to pay you back, you had to nag them for two weeks. And then they still wouldnt pay you back, even though you saw them at jennys party. And when you talked to them at the party, they didnt even mention the 20. When you didnt bring it up, it goes, you didnt want to be rude. I mean, its only 20, after all. But its not about that. Its not about that. [ light laughter ] but its like, why are you putting me in this position . The onus is on you. [ light laughter ] and now im the one who feels weird, even though it was you who did something wrong.

I know this is sudden, but they say if you love something. Set it free. See you around, giulia [ cheers and applause ] seth welcome back, everybody. Congress today held a hearing questioning Airline Executives about what changes they plan to make in light of some horrific incidents lately on airlines like united, delta, and american, because while those events prove shocking to most people, after nearly 40 years of government deregulation in the Airline Industry, perhaps they shouldnt. So how do we get here . Well, its time for the check in. [ cheers and applause ] seth now all those trump announced the United Airlines incident it may be a bit difficult relate how awful air travel is these days. Since hes now flying on air force one and before that, had his own private airplane. Trumps own plane. Perhaps the most ostentatious. It has gold plated seatbelts. A bathroom with gold plated fixtures. On board home theaters, even a special vip lounge. Seth he has a vip lounge in his private airplane. [ light laughter ] thats a rich thing inside of a richer thing. Its like keeping the keys to your maserati in a faberge egg. Also imagine getting on a private plane and finding out you are not on the list for the whole private plane. Yeah, im sorry, bro i dont see an eric on here. [ light laughter ] dad, dad, im not on the list [ light laughter ] now United AirlinesCeo Oscar Munoz was asked about the debacle on his plane as well as the bizarre incidents on other airlines and had this reaction. The industry is getting black eye. Seth yeah, black eye probably not the best choice of words right now. [ light laughter ] i would say currently the whole industry as being dragged down the aisle with his belly exposed. And munoz also referred to the united situation as a system failure. And hes not wrong when he says that because in this system, anyone can be kicked off an overbooked flight against their will. In fact, according to the department of transportation in 2015 alone, 46,000 customers were involuntary bumped from flights. You might not know about it but its a policy to which you agree to when you book your tickets. In the fine print, you can be asked to leave a flight, involuntarily, without any compensation as you decide it. Seth either words, in the fine print, it also says ass kickings are like checked luggage. Only the first one is free, after that, theyre 50 each. [ light laughter ] so howd it come to this . Well, years ago, only the wealthy and privileged could afford to even get on an airplane. But that all changed when president carter signed the Airline Deregulation act in 1978 which basically removed government control over everything from prices to routes which also meant the government could no longer keep prices of flights artificially high. And this was good for travelers who could now make much quicker trips to visit relatives, unless they hated those relatives, in which case air travel robbed you of the 15 hour drive where you could psych yourself up to deal with your passive aggressive motherinlaw. [ light laughter ] good to see you lydia. Good to finally see you, kevin. Kids, get back in the car [ light laughter ] but with cheaper fares the airlines had to figure out how to make up for the lost income. So over time the seats became smaller, the food became either inedible or nonexistent. And everything in general got worse. Remember the Mile High Club . There was a time where people actually wanted to have sex in an airplane bathroom. Now, airplane bathrooms are so small, if you get an erection, you have to open the door. [ laughter and applause ] and that will ruin the mood. And some experts have drawn a link between how the Airlines Operate these days and the deregulation of the industry in general. You saw this week, United Airlines with that horrible situation. Those are a direct result of deregulation going so far that companies literally have no regard to their for their customers, excuse me and no fear of repercussions if they treat them badly. Seth to make matters worse, according to reports since deregulation, the Airline Industry lost a collective 60 billion, more than 160 airlines filed for bankruptcy. And even a former airline ceo said the Market Forces alone cannot and will not produce a satisfactory Airline Industry. Thats right, Airline Customers dont develop brand loyalty the way they do with other products. Your pilot might as will say, hey folks, we know you have a lot of choices when you fly so thanks for choosing the cheapest flight you can find on kayak. Because, lets be honest, the main reason Airline Travel is so awful is that we the customer are okay with it being awful as long as the ticket prices are low enough. If there was an airline that offered 50 roundtrip tickets to any destination in america as long as the pilot can open hand slap one passenger of his choosing in the face that airline would never have an empty seat. [ light laughter ] you would just click on it and say, i like those odds. [ light laughter ] so whatever solution there may be will probably have to come from the government. Unfortunately, it probably wont come from our government. Because trump made this promise to the u. S. Airline industry executives less than a month after he took office. Youre gonna be so happy with trump. Think you already are. So we want to help you realize these goals by rolling back burdensome regulations and you people are regulated probably as much as almost anybody, although i can think of a couple of industries that are even worse. Seth like, for example, of the phony university industry, thats worse. [ light laughter ] i mean there are so many regulations on phony universities its almost impossible to keep them in business. [ light laughter ] and by the way, trump has also promised to privatize air Traffic Control, calling the system totally out of whack. So who does the president turn to for advice when it comes to our airlines, airports, and air Traffic Control issues . I have a pilot whos a real expert. My pilot. Hes a smart guy and knows whats going on said the government is using the wrong equipment. Seth and before you trust trumps pilot, remember, this is trumps doctor. [ laughter and applause ] so, i wouldnt be surprised if this is trumps pilot. [ laughter ] no, no trump has already taken steps to dismantle obama era rules to try to make the airlines more transparent by putting on hold a proposal to require more disclosure of passenger fees. And according to reports and filings, delaying the implementation of a separate regulation requiring airlines to disclose when they miss handle wheelchairs and motorized scooters for the disabled. Because if theres one thing our founder fathers believed it was you had the right to [ bleep ] with someones wheelchair and not admit to it. [ light laughter ] and although some regulations are burdensome and ineffective, trump seems to blame them for pretty much all the governments problems. And about a month into his presidency he had already signed an executive order aimed at rolling back regulations across government agencies. And heres how he made the case for that. Were gonna be cutting regulation massively. Now were gonna have regulation and it will be just as strong and just as good and just as protective of the people as the regulation we have right now. Seth what . [ light laughter ] were gonna get rid of regulations massively but it will still be as good as what we have now . Thats like your surgeon telling you hes gonna cut off both your legs but dont worry, youll get around even better than before. [ light laughter ] as long as you dont bring your wheelchair to the airport. So sure, some rules need to be eliminated and reassessed but having government regulations is why we feel safe breathing the air, eating the food we buy at the Grocery Store and getting on an airplane. If we deregulate the industry any further, all of our airlines could end up looking like this seth this has been the check in. [ cheers and applause ] well be right back with Rachel Maddow everybody.

[ cheers and applause ] seth how are you . Spectacular. Seth its so good to see you, and you have a show tonight, so thank you for making time. Yeah. Seth and, but oh, i just saw you in the hallway right beforehand and you were carrying paper with you because you were still working on the script for tonights show . Yes. I am a bad time manager. Seth uhhuh. So like im writing stuff like in the bathroom. Seth but even if you were a good time manager, this administration sort of forces you to wait till the last minute, yes . Yes. Yes, its true, its actually i dont know if youve noticed this in your show prep too, but the rhythm of the news is different than it used to be. Seth yeah. Like when you have an Administration Like obviously, if you do mostly news about politics, then the sun at the center of the solar system for the news is the administration, and they make the most news. But usually they make it on purpose. Seth right. Like they decide that they would like to do a thing that we would probably like to cover. And this administration is not like that. Like they cant do a thing they want to do. Seth right. And so instead the news is not made by them, its made about them. And it just comes up whenever any Investigative Reporter hits send. Seth but dont you think they try . They try to set the news and like 11 00 oclock in the morning, theyll be a regular administration. But then Something Like hell do something. Then you get the sense that nobody around him expects. Like hell be on a phone call with president duterte from the philippines, and hell just go off book and say you should come to the white house sometime. Yeah. Seth and then all of a sudden, thats the news of the day. Yeah. And then the state department is like, were not home. Were not home. Were not home. [ light laughter ] yeah. Seth and i feel like, you know, breaking news has been probably overused to a degree, but there is breaking news all the time now. It is weird. I mean i have always been a bad time manager, but i have never ever gone on the air so frequently at 9 00 p. M. Eastern and said within the last few minutes, because thats not usually when politics happens. I mean people are supposed to like have dinner and go home and stuff, you know . Seth right. Politicians are not known for being super hard workers. They like getting home too. Right, i mean, because im on at 9 00 oclock, i cant get most senators. Seth yeah. Theyre over seventy. Theyve been in bed for twoandahalf hours by the time im on the air. [ light laughter ] seth yeah. But now its like everybodys up like this. Seth yeah. He said what to duterte . So, yeah, its weird. The whole rhythm of it is different. I feel like, you know, Investigative Reporters are becoming national heroes. Seth yeah. Are becoming household names. You know the chairs of all the investigatory committees in congress are now becoming famous people. Like adam schiff is famous. Seth yeah. Adam schiff looks like clip art. Like you cant even seth right. Like a year ago you could not distinguish him from 40 other people in congress. Now he like walks down the street and he can only make it five feet for all the high fives. [ light laughter ] seth you have not had trump on your show. You did speak with him on the phone once. Mm. Seth yeah. Have you ever talked to him on the phone . Seth i have talked to him. Ive talked to him on the phone once. Howd it go . Seth it was fine. It was perfectly nice. It was right before he announced. And he said on the phone to me, im gonna make an announcement. Its gonna be very big. And i was like, uhhuh, okay, whatever. Doodle, doodle, doodle. Seth the amount that he has put me in my place over the last two years is innumerable. But you know, perfectly nice person to talk to on the phone. Is your experience . Yeah well, i talked to him during the primaries. He was an announced candidate. And the campaign had said, you are gonna get an interview. I mean, we want you to talk to him. He wants to have a preliminary conversation with you. Its very off the record. You can never say that the call happened. You can not record it. You cannot talk about this call, but this call has to happen. And then were gonna give you the interview if the call goes well. And i was like, this is weird. But, okay, you know you have to jump through hoops sometimes to get interviews. Seth of course. And then i have this conversation with him. It became clear that kind of the reason he maybe wanted to do an interview with me is because id sort of said that he had good chances against his republican primary opponents. We kinda dished dirt on all the things he thought was wrong with all his republican primary opponents. And i was like, okay. And then at the end of it, and he was like, you know, so thanks very much for this call. And i said, well id really like to have you on the show sometime. Its 9 00 oclock. Were live, wed like to have you here in the studio, or i could come to you. And he said, well you can use this. And i was like, this was not on tv. There is no recording of this conversation. What do you mean i can use this . Like i can run backwards at the equator and make time go back and put a camera in here. Like, that was my interview, apparently. Seth and, do you think theres a chance . Do you think you will get him one day . No. Seth yeah. [ light laughter ] i mean, i dont know. Seth theres a chance though. He loves cable news. Im on cable news. Seth yeah. And it doesnt strike me it does seem like he goes back and forth. Sometimes i feel like he retreats into just doing fox. Yeah. Seth but he does i feel want to talk to everybody. I do think he wants to be loved and appreciated by everybody. So ultimately, he cant just stay there, he goes out and does a bunch of different interviews. Well there is a tension about that in all seriousness in the administration. Because there has never been a presidency, an administration that was this overtly hostile to the press. Talking about like revising the first amendment. The chief of staff this weekend was saying theyre looking at those libel laws. What do you mean looking at them . They just they dont look back. We have a first amendment. You cant change it. Theyre looking at changing that stuff, and they put out their First Campaign ad for 2020 which denounces the fake news. Seth yeah. And theyre really against us, but at the same time, there has never been a president who is more addicted to the news about himself, and who is more responsive to the news, that he supposedly thinks is so worthless. So it is a weird tension. I think its a dangerous time for the first amendment, and for the free press in this country, and at the same time were oddly influential with the guy that wants to kill us. Seth yeah. Its a weird dance. Its like one of those movies where the serial killer is also clearly in love with the person whos trying to arrest him. So youre clarise. Seth yeah, clarise, yeah. The press is clarise and hes lecter. [ light laughter ] its like a cat and mouse game and like, hes definitely gonna kill some other people, but maybe not me. And hes age inapproprate. Seth yeah exactly. And you cant figure out what she sees in him and i know. Seth tell me about the lambs. [ light laughter ] one of the things thats interesting, and i find it very strange, because theres obviously all these things he wants to do that i do not want him to be successful in, and he is not. Hes had a lot of failures. Yeah. Seth but you cant relax because he obviously is gonna keep trying. For example, health care, it seems like he does not understand the inner workings of what he is trying to even propose with health care. He does not understand the very, the most basic things about what he is trying to pass when it comes to health care. So thats weird. I mean, its weird, its like the overall question is are you comforted by his incompetence, or would you rather have a very i mean would you rather have a Competent Person trying to do bad things or would you rather have an inCompetent Person trying to do bad things . Well its like being stupid versus being ugly, like one of those can change. You know what im saying . Like he could get better at it. Id rather change his intentions. Seth because like a senator ted cruz, for example, this is a man who knows exactly how the senate works, exactly how congress works. If he was the president , if he had the house and the senate, you would have to assume someone like that would be far more effective than trump has been. Yeah. Seth so that is a weird thing, is to some degree, his lack of knowledge about how d. C. Has worked has been an advantage to people who would not have wanted him to get this position in the first place. At least thus far. Seth right. So i think it is, i think there are a few big surprises about the trump era, number one is with the white house, with the senate and with the house, he can pass nothing. In 100 days he passed no major legislation and the only major legislation he is set to pass now that were passed his 100 days is this big spending bill which has nothing in it that he wants, and everything that the democrats want. Seth yeah. Like how did that happen . So their inability to get stuff done even with unified control of government. Thats weird. Its also been, i think, interesting and surprising to see the number of people out in the streets. And new civic engagement. New people wanting to run. And thats been interesting. But the other part of it that has been weird is the way that he hasnt changed some of the most radical stuff form the campaign. Like the stuff about attacking the press. He is still saying lock her up. Seth yeah. We dont actually lock up our political opponents in this country. Seth yeah. And we thought you were kind of kidding or doing it for effect when youre campaigning, but now youre president. And when you say lock her up, like that, were not uzbekistan, you know what i mean . So that stuff not changing since the campaign is i think surprising and worrying. And i am comforted by the fact that he cant do anything that he wants to do. But i am worried that he will figure it out. Seth we talked about one side. Do you have any confidence right now with the future of the Democratic Party. Do you see i feel like theres been a resist movement, and that has been the people that are out in the streets. How do you feel about the Democratic Party going forward. In the last 100 days, have you seen anything from them that makes you feel optimistic . I feel like the Democratic Party needs to rediscover its inner water skier. Seth uhhuh. Like, hey, Democratic Party, youre not the boat. Youre the water skier, and the people are the boat and let them tow you to where you need to be. Because, counting on the Democratic Party and its elected officials to sort of lead an Election Campaign against trump, or to lead on policy stuff, or to lead people toward making democratic choices hasnt been working. But then you look at the largest demonstrations in u. S. History, on the day after the inaugeration. You look at the tax day march, you look at the climate march, you look at the science march, you look at all the indivisible groups and the all the other activism around the country. And all these people never thought of themselves as activists, who are doing that now. And if the Democrat Party elected officials sit back and watch that and take their cues from those people, i think theyll be unstoppable. Seth i feel like youre right. [ cheers and applauise ] and hopefully they will, but who knows. Who knows. Rachel maddow, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] the Rachel Maddow show airs weeknights at 9 00.

I do, yeah. And i chose this audience, too. You dont know that, but i hand picked you all. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. Theyre great. Seth each one, individually picked. Yes, yes. Seth so congratulations on a fantastic snl season. Thank you so much. Seth three shows left. And i want to ask about this cause this is was how i always felt. The after parties near the end of the year, kind of get a little wilder because its nice out. Its lighter out late. Like, people kind of feel enthusiastic. I mean like, the city just changes. General like restaurants are open, people are sitting outside, its like summer. Its like that school schedule. Seth do you worry about your behavior at after parties . How are you . Absolutely, 100 . It was worse earlier on. Seth when you first started. Yeah, it was like, you got to like embrace the party, like you got to have fun. Like we dont know how long were gonna be here. And its also like, weve got to show were fun, right, so like i remember there was a i have not told you this. Seth okay. But the your Going Away Party at the after, after party, i um apparently, i found out the next day my accountant called and was like, did you ring up a 900 bill at 3 00 in the morning last night . I was like, no, absolutely not. Somebody found out i was there and put drinks on my tab, no way. And then i asked for the receipt, and i got the receipt back and it was a 400 tab and i tipped 500. [ laughter ] yes. And i remember like when i saw it, i was like, yes, i did that. Now i remember. Yes, yes. Seth oh yes he can. I was like, im at snl. Ive got to like buy rounds and rounds of shots. Then after that, i have to tip the bar tender like 500. Seth yeah, there you go. To like, you know. Ive made it at snl. Ive got to seth that bartender must have just gotten that and said, oh, i feel bad about taking this. Yeah. Seth this person is way too drunk he is a fool. Seth but i am gonna i wanna talk about your incredible performance this year as vladimir putin. Thank you very much. [ cheers and applause ] yes, there it is. Seth there it is. And uh and because of this youve had to do a lot of shirtless work on the show. Yeah, a lot. And ive also played a couple other characters this year, without their shirts. Just shirtless. Seth yeah, once they know you can do it. Yeah, all right, pop him in there. Thats what i do, thats my bread and butter. Seth uh, and have you enjoyed do you have a take on how you approach putin like what is here inner putin . Yeah, well its well the image that comes to mind is those garfield clocks where its like garfield is like [ laughter ] kind of like that i dont know when they came out but theyre like these vintage garfield clocks. But like we did it, we did it like sort of just toss it into a family feud at the beginning of the year. And at first i had my shirt on. And then the second time it cut to me, i had my shirt off. And then that seemed to work with the audience. And so theyre like, lets like lean into that essence. Hes like cocky. Hes like he loves how much hes in control and how easy it is for him. And so like instead of leaning into like a more serious, like russian persona, it was like, hes having so much fun, like he just loves this. Hes just like, yeah, baby. Seth and its nice. I think in this day and age, we all need to see a fun putin. [ laughter ] it helps us all relax a little bit. Yeah. Seth now do you, have a theory as to whether or not putin has seen it . Well, my immediate thought is yes, he loves it. He watches every show. Seth right. [ light laughter ] i mean, if he watched it, its like i kind of portray him in a good light. You know its like seth yeah, i think hed be okay. Because were making fun of you know, american politics for the most part, and thats like for him to be in control is the makes everybody look sillier. Um, but i have heard that it played on russian television. Seth oh wow. And for that to happen, he has to approve it. Seth right, there you go. So thats just what ive heard. Seth or they played it and just redubbed you and said even nicer things. Yeah [ laughter ] absolutely, absolutely. Seth he could have done that as well. Yeah and people are like, are you afraid that hes gonna like invite you to the kremlin or something . Or like seth yeah, hes gonna ask you to the kremlin correspondents dinner. Yeah, yeah. [ laughter ] and ill definitely go because i think thats a good idea. Seth i want to ask about baby boss as well. This is a character this is kind of your first reoccurring character how many times . Sorry, in one i have my shirt off and the other im wearing a diaper. Seth i think we can figure out what beck looks like totally naked right . [ light laughter ] here we go. Perfect, thank you. Yes. Seth hold on [ laughter ] so talk about so, okay, i will talk about it while you put that together. Baby boss, i came up okay, thats all the time you needed. Yes, that works. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] seth and that was. And thats strangely enough, when i get when i get down to my briefs and tug them up like that, my legs go the other way. [ laughter ] seth so baby boss was your audition piece . Yes, it was, and when i auditioned for the show, i had just i made a tape, you know, and submitted it and i had done sketch comedy with my group, good neighbor. Seth kyle and dave. Kyle, and dave, and nick. And so like whenever i did shows, it was always like with other characters. Never addressing the audience so then we got this invitation to go to a showcase in l. A. And i had like a couple days to try this out. You do like five minutes of characters and impressions. And like i was going to these open mics for the first time, and my characters were not working. They like did not work outside of the sketch format. Like i sat down with my friend and was like these two characters arent working. Hes like, what else do you have any other ideas for like new characters youve never done . I was like, i mean i know this idea for like a businessman, who has the body of a baby. [ light laughter ] he was like, what do you mean . What does that look like . And i did it. And he was like, you have to do that. You have to do it. Seth yeah. But yeah, i got the idea, i was like on a plane and there was a guy with a baby in his lap next to me. And the baby just kept taking my head phones out of my computer and putting it in his mouth. And he was on his back so hes like looking at me like that and just like slamming them on the ground. And then hed look around and start crying. So it was just like, he was not, he was taking things that he wanted. Throwing away and crying. He was just like, logicless. Seth but it was great because i remember being at your audition and seeing its so weird to see something that the minute you see it youre like, oh, if this guy works on the show thatll be a sketch and you did it four times . Did it four times, yes. Seth thats fantastic. And then it was a giant animated movie with alec baldwin. Yes it was. Yeah, yeah. Seth that you were not in, and got no money for. No, once again i was like i like to give my ideas away. Seth yeah, exactly. [ laughter ] yeah. Seth so giving. So giving. Cause theres got to be more. You know, you got to believe seth yeah exactly like, i dont want this. This wasnt for money. Its not the idea, take it. Seth you take the money. I did it for the art. Yes. Seth yeah.
