Weekend. I assume you know that an Emergency Alert went out on saturday morning. This was this text is something received by everyone with a cell phone at 8 07 a. M. On saturday. Ballistic missile threat inbound to hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill. And then they didnt get a correction until 38 minutes later. So for 38 minutes people were seeking immediate shelter, which in hawaii, what does that even mean . Everybody get under a mai tai umbrella . [ laughter ] people were freaking out. Although not as much as they would be in any other state. But the fact that it took them 38 minutes to get around to telling people there wasnt a Ballistic Missile on the way is very hawaii. Its about as hawaii as it gets. [ laughter ] [ applause ] i have to say, i was at a walmart in maui once. I stood in line for 43 minutes with two people in front of me. It got to the point where i was hoping a Ballistic Missile was on the way. [ laughter ] to put me out of my misery. But they dont have that level of anxiety that we do. You know, usually the hawaii emergency broadcast system is reserved for messages like to the owner of a rusty jeep with an aloha bitches bumper sticker, your lights are on. [ laughter ] so this was scary. It was very interesting to see how people reacted to imminent death. Its rare a group of people experience that. One of our writers, his brother lives on kauai. His brother and his brothers wife were asleep and the kids, they have two kids, got the alert on their iphones. They woke their parents up to tell them there were missiles on the way. [ laughter ] and you know what they did . They all got into bed together and watched cat videos on youtube. [ laughter ] [ applause ] i dont know. What are you going to do . Theres a thread on reddit where people describe what was happening. One guy wrote, i was at work here on maui. I told my big schmamoan boss we should just hug. This way theyd find us froze nen time like the folks they found in pompeii after mount vesuvius. Things were a little awkward the rest of the day. [ laughter ] sure. My wife grabbed my son and ran for the hospital. I grabbed . Change and started paying the parking meeter. My wife turned back and yelled, what are you doing . I yelled, we have to pay the meter even if the world is going to end, were not savages. [ laughter ] heres another one. My friend is visiting his grandfather on the big island and told me right after he received the first alert he went down a couple homes to where the clintons were staying to ask the secret service guys what was going on. Apparently, they were all in gas masks and ready to go. So maybe it wasnt a false alarm. Maybe it was just trump ruining hillarys vacation. [ laughter ] i wouldnt put it past him. [ applause ] mishap. A major mishap was reportedly caused by a state employee who pressed the wrong button. Vern miyagi is the guys name. Hes the administrator for hawaiis Emergency Management agency. He took responsibility. I tell you what, mr. Miyagis going to have to paint a lot of fences and sand a lot of decks to make up for this one. [ laughter ] the governor apologized too. Hawaii governor david ige spoke with reporters in an attempt to explain how what happened happened. Can you explain that error in depth as much as you can . It was a procedure that occurs at the change of shift where they go through to make sure that the system is working. Jimmy well, it is working. [ laughter ] i love that everyone on every island in a state just went through a terrifying ordeal. He shows up in a shirt with purple flowers on it. [ laughter ] as if hes on the way to a luau or something. You wouldnt see that in south dakota. Thats right. Hawaii, theyre even laid back when theyre in crisis mode. After the governor spoke a spokesperson for the Agency Responsible answered questions from members of the local media. We have the clip here. In response to this terrifying incident we are reviewing our procedures to make sure this never happens again. I will now take some questions. Yes, sir, in front. Is it all good, bra . Yes, bra, i can confirm its all good. Yes, lady in the hawaiian shirt. Yes. Is it okay to resume hanging loose . Yes. It is okay. Hang loose. [ laughter ] yes, gentleman with the pukka shell necklace. How are the waves . Lots of heavies in hanalei. Kind of sketchy out there. Take it slow. Mahalo for your time. Mahalo. [ laughter ] jimmy okay. So theyre you see what were saying. [ applause ] its a relaxed environment. Our best to our friends in hawaii whose Blood Pressure went up for no reason at all this weekend. Today of course is Martin Luther king day on which we honor the life and legacy of dr. King. [ cheers and applause ] this is a great thing. The king family suggested the best way to had not his memory is to spend today in service to your community. In the past president s obama and bush did volunteer work on this day to honor dr. King. President trump today played golf to honor him. [ laughter ] i knew youd think im joking, but im not. He made his 95th visit since becoming president to one of the golf courses he owns. The Trump International golf club in palm beach. Just as dr. King would have wanted. [ laughter ] which is especially glaring considering the fact people have been calling trump a racist all weekend. At a meeting on thursday, you probably know, the president reportedly questioned why we want people from haiti and africa and other, quote, shole countries coming to the united states. At first the white house didnt deny that he said that because they figured Trump Supporters would be fine with it. But then it started a big storm of anger and outrage. So trump took to twitter to try to reel it in. He wrote, never said anything derogatory about haitians other than haiti is obviously a very poor and troubled country. Never said take them out. Made up by dems. I have a wonderful relationship with haitians. Probably should record future meetings. Unfortunately no, trust. Yes, there please record all future meetings. [ laughter ] because we want that. [ cheers and applause ] i support that. Unfortunately, for the president even some of his fellow republicans who were in the meeting confirmed he said what we think he said. So last night, with House Majority leader Kevin Mccarthy standing uncomfortably at his side, trump doubled down and made what might be the most patently untrue statement of this presidency so far. Did you see what the other senators in the room said about my comments . They werent made. Are you a racist . No. Im not a racist. I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed. That i can tell you. Jimmy well, theres no better way to convince people you are not a racist than repeatedly saying i am the least racist person. L[ laughter ] so the guy who initially outed trump is senator dick durbin, a democrat from illinois. He was very clear on what he heard President Trump say. Senator graham made his presentation. The president interrupted him several times with questions. And in the course of his comments said things which were hatefilled, vile, and racist. He ui use those words advisedly. I understand how powerful they are. But i cannot believe that in the history of the white house in that oval office any president has ever spoken the words that i personally heard our president speak yesterday. Jimmy so trump responded the way he responds. He gave senator durbin a mean nickname. He wrote, senator dicky durbin totally misrepresented what was said at the meeting. Deals cant get made when theres no trust. Durbin blew daca and its hurting our military. Calling a guy named dick dicky, is that even its a dicky thing to do but is it an insult . [ laughter ] so dick durbin said he said it. Republican Lindsey Graham backed him on that. But two other republicans have a totally different version of what happened. Senator tom cotton said, i was just as close to the president. I didnt hear it. And senator david perdue from georgia claims this report is a gross misrepresentation of what the president said. Just to be colllear, im not clear on compactly what you say happened in this meeting. You say it was a gross misrepresentation. Senator durbin has been very clear. Senator graham has told others the reports are basically accurate. Are you saying the president did not use the word that has been so widely reported . Im telling you he did not use that word, sxwrornlgs im telling you its a gross misrepresentation. How many times do you want me to say that . Jimmy just keep saying it until something true comes out of your mouth, then well be happy. [ cheers and applause ] its amazing that these guys will lie to cover for donald trump. He obviously said it. I know theyre just trying to get what they want. But you remember this thing called truth, the thing superman fights for along with justice and the american way . Its kind of important because without truth you cant have justice or the american way. You really cant have anything. Like if i accuse guillermo of sneaking in my office and stealing a sixpack from the mini fridge and he says no, i didnt and i say oh, really . I have proof that you did, i have you on video. [ laughter ] in my office sneaking in, going right to my mini fridge and stealing six beers out of it. But if guillermo just continues to say no, i didnt, it wasnt me, i didnt do it, were in trouble. Theres several things we just have to fight it out even though we can clearly see he snuck in there. Thats exactly what these two senators are doing. Tom cotton of arkansas and david perdue of georgia, they went on tv and brazenly lied even though there are multiple corroborating reports from republicans that the president said this. These two are basically saying we like the story the president made up better, so thats going to be what happened. Its like you went to a casino and the guy youre playing cards with says a 5 is worth more than kaing and you say no, it isnt. And he says yeah, it is. And then you just have to trangll each other to settle it. Thats where were at right now. Even ben carson seems to be souring on donald trump. Ben carson who is the secretary of housing and urban development spoke tonight at a bap fitist church in atlanta where for the first time of i think ever he distanced himself from his beloved boss. Im a member of this administration, and i dont agree with the president about everything. [ applause ] jimmy its like somebodys finally waking up. I dont even agree with everything that ive said. Jimmy and right back to sleep. [ applause ] hes so close. Meanwhile, its the end of an era in new jersey. Today was Chris Christies last day as governor of new jersey. He is leaving office as the most disliked governor in the history of the state. Who could have ever guessed that closing down a beach at the height of the summer for his own personal use would be an unpopular move . But you know, we enjoyed chriss time. And he made his mark every place really. And i hope that i hope governor christie, while you were driving home from work tonight you got stuck in horrible traffic on the bridge. I really do. [ applause ] so now that Chris Christies out of office, this is something you might want to try. A couple times a year a dumb slash potentially dangerous trend sweeps our nation. This one is called the tide pod challenge. Do you know about this . People record themselves eating tide laundry detergent pods and posting on the internet. Like this. You know, so many people have been asking how could donald trump have been elected president. I think [ applause ] i think we have the answer. But this is a dangerous fad. These pods are potentially poisonous. But some companies are embracing it and using it to target a new generation of customers. Love the great taste of dominos and the clean refreshment of tide . Introducing dominos tide pod pizza. A carton of tide pods on each pie. Sow get a pod in every bite. Comes with free delivery. To the hospital. Dominos tide pod pizza. Get your piehole clean.

For example, i took a picture of my face. I got young cartman by ladislav thats not cartman. Hes got a beanie. [ laughter ] guillermo, we did it with you too. This is guillermo. He resembles this painting of british composer named sir arthur sullivan. [ laughter ] i always said you remind me of that guy. Everyone is doing it. This is donald trump. His doppelganger is garfield. Mitch mcconnell is a turtle. [ laughter ] steve bannon is slimer from ghostbusters. [ laughter ] we tried it with ted cruz too. Ted cruz came back with the i warned you if you look at porn all day your face will get stuck like that but he doesnt listen. Today we honor Martin Luther king by judging people not by the color of their skin but by which painting they kind of look like. This is President Trumps first mlk day in office. And we wanted to do Something Special to commemorate that. So we went out in the streets this afternoon and asked people whose side are you on in the donald trumpdr. King twitter war. [ laughter ] of course dr. Martin luther chan king has been gone for 50 years but did that stop people from weighing in on this impossible feud . No, it did not. In tonights dr. King edition of lie witness news. [ applause ] were talking to people today about the big twitter war thats going on between donald trump and dr. Martin luther king. Why do those two not get along . Well, it seems like donald trump isnt really into africanamericans well say. And obviously was it wrong of Martin Luther king to call President Trump a fisheye fool jive turkey . No, not if its true. What are people saying about it . That its true. Clearly theres some history between those two from their time spent together on celebrity apprentice. Im sure you remember yes. When Brett Michaels beat dr. Martin luther king jr. At selling frozen yogurt. How much of their current fight do you think stems from that . Theres probably a little bit. I mean, theres always a history. Do you remember that episode . I do remember that episode, yeah. Brett michaels could sell frozen yogurt. Simple as that. Yeah, absolutely. This morning im sure you saw, it trump came out and said, i have better dreams than Martin Luther king because in my dreams i can fly. Yes. What did you think when you first heard that . Do you ever fly in your dreams . No. But if i could it would be sweet, though. [ laughter ] was it wrong of Martin Luther king to skip the president s inauguration last year . I dont think that wrong was the right word. But i think that Martin Luther king has the right to not go. Let me ask you like this. Is there any excuse he could have for not going to the inauguration . Id say yes. Because everybody has a right to not go to something that they dont feel like they want to go to. Maybe he had plans that day. Yeah, he could have had Something Else to go to. Maybe he had a family event. Maybe a funeral. Yeah. Maybe a funeral. I think he has the right to go to where he wants to go. And im sure if he wanted to maybe he just watched it on tv. Look right there and tell President Trump and Martin Luther king what they have to do. I think you guys have to settle your differences and make become friends. Happy mlk day, Martin Luther king. [
