And then everyone, including a lot of his supporters, said that was a very wrong thing to do . Well, guess what . Yesterday Tweety Gonzalez pulled out his Little Orange thumbs and he did it again. This time he attacked a woman who works for mike pence currently. Her name is jennifer williams. Shes a special adviser to the Vice President. She was also listening in on trumps now infamous call with the president of ukraine. There were more people on this call than there were at his inauguration. [ laughter ] so in her closed door testimony williams says trump specifically mentioned the name of the Ukrainian Company hunter biden worked for. Its called burisma. But that was omitted from the transcript the white house released. You know the one the president keeps telling us to read. Well, turns out maybe that transcript has been sanitized for his protection. Trump of course as soon as he heard this went right on the attack. He called this woman who works, again, for his Vice President , a never trumper. [ laughter ] its like calling the hamburglar a vegetarian. Its ridiculous. She is scheduled to testify publicly tomorrow. And thatll be interesting. Burisma is a word you dont forget. It sounds like a disease that makes you put your cat to sleep. Its not something that comes up in normal conversation. I dont know if this has anything to do with that, but the other big story this weekend was the president made an unplanned, unannounced trip to the hospital. The staff at Walter Reed Hospital was given no advance notice of the president s visit, which is unusual. Usually theyre all told in advance. It sounds to me like maybe the old fellas pregnant. Its possible. [ laughter ] anyway, you know the president loves to talk about how healthy he is and how slow and tired everyone else is. This visit chips away at that. But there was a perfectly good reason for it. At least according to White House Press secretary Stephanie Grisham who had a not at all suspicioussounded explanation for a curious jeanine pirro. I understand it wasnt a scheduled annual visit. Can you tell us what it was . Yeah, absolutely. Weve got a really busy year ahead, as you can imagine. And so the president decided to go to walter reed and kind of get a head start with some routine checkups as part of his annual exam. Thats all it was. It was very routine. We had a down day today. And so he made the decision to head there. Jimmy they had a down day. Every day is a down day. [ laughter ] by the way, this is trumps real schedule for today, for monday. We did not alter this for comic effect. First thing he had for the day was an intelligence briefing at 2 00 p. M. And then a meeting with the secretary of state at 4 15. And thats it. Then back to the couch to watch fox news. [ laughter ] the dolphins at sea world have busier schedules than our president. But go on. Whats the rest of the health story . And theres no truth to the rumors that it was Something Else . Because the rumors are flying. Oh, the rumors are always flying. Absolutely not. He is healthy as can be. I put a statement out about that. Hes got more energy than anybody in the white house. That man works from 6 00 a. M. Until, you know, very, very late at night. Hes doing just fine. You know, stephanie, hes almost superhuman. [ laughter ] jimmy right. Hes faster than a tweeting bullet. [ laughter ] hes able to bankrupt Tall Buildings in a single bound. [ laughter ] the president of course shared an update on his health on twitter. He wrote visit aid great family of a young man under major surgery at the amazing walter reed medical center. Those are truly some of the best doctors anywhere in the world. Also began phase one of my yearly physical. Everything very good. Great. Will complete next year. Next year. Phase one was this weekend . Phase two is next [ laughter ] was this a physical or a Kitchen Remodel . This probably wont be good for trumps health. The president now claims he might want to testify in front of congress himself in the impeachment inquiry, which is a lie. [ laughter ] but that doesnt mean he didnt tweet it. This morning he wrote, stick with me on this our crazy do nothing wheres usmca infrastructure and much more speaker of the house nervous nancy pelosi whos petrified by her radical left knowing them soon be gone. They and Fake News Media are her boss. Suggested on sundays deface the nation, clever, that i testify about the phony witch hunt. She also said i could do it in writing. Even though i did nothing wrong and dont like giving credibility to this no due process hoax, i like the idea and will in order to get congress focused again strongly consider it. Thats quite a sentence. 12 High School English teachers killed themselves after reading that sentence. [ laughter ] but the gist is the president claims he will strongly consider testifying. He wont testify. That will never happen. But he will do some very strong considering of it. [ laughter ] maybe the strongest. No one considers more strongly than donald trump. They say hes almost superhuman, you know . [ laughter ] the only thing he ever strongly considers is original or extra crispy. Thats it. [ laughter ] and by the way, hours after trump floated this idea of providing testimony the house launched an investigation into whether he lied in his testimony to special counsel robert mueller. He hope he testifies in person. I really do. It would be so much fun to see all the republicans in that chamber barking and wagging their tails when their owner walks in. Wouldnt it . [ laughter ] meanwhile, on the democratic side of things, joe bidens doing everything he can to remind us that he is a very old person. Joe biden says that if elected he will not legalize marijuana federally because he thinks it might be a gateway drug. Thats correct. It is a gateway drug to not getting the democratic nomination for president. [ applause ] he says there needs to be more research done. And it does lead to other things. First you try marijuana, then that leads to sarsaparilla, which leads to black licorice, which leads to goofballs, to poppers, to malarkey. Next thing you know youre selling your body for werthers originals. Its a slippery slope. But the idea they need to do more studies. Theyve already done the study for the last 80 years. You know how we know marijuana isnt a gateway drug . Willie nelson isnt a crackhead. Okay . [ laughter ] snoop dogg has a house. End of study. Speaking of gateway drugs, did you guys sign up for disney plus . How many signed up for disney plus . [ applause ] disney plus is a you . Streaming service that finally answers the question, what if there was even more stuff to watch . [ laughter ] and its been a big hit largely because its the only place you can see the new star wars spinoff, the mandalorian. And the big breakout star of that series is baby yoda, who i think might be able to unite the country. Like anytime youre in an argument with like a friend or relative about politics, all you have to do, just hold up this picture of baby yoda, and itll be over immediately. Baby yoda is going to finally bring us together. Maybe baby yoda could be president of the United States. You know . Thats not a bad idea. Actually, sorry, excuse me, jimmy. Thats not baby yoda. Jimmy what do you mean . Yeah, its clearly baby yoda. Did you see the picture . I saw the picture. But its not a picture of baby yoda. Okay, look, the events of the mandalorian take place five years after the fall of the empire, which means it comes after return of the jedi. Jimmy okay. Well, as we all know, yoda died in return of the jedi, and only returned later as a force ghost. Jimmy okay. Well, im sorry if i misspoke no, you didnt misspeak. You were wrong. [ laughter ] look, this isnt baby yoda. This is a baby of yodas species. The name of which is still unknown. Jimmy okay. Thank you very much. Whatever. Not whatever. That baby was 50 years old. Yoda was 900 when he died. I mean, hello. Come on. Jimmy i think weve got it. I think its very no, im not sure you that do got it. Okay . Now, look. Yes, okay . Yes, its possible that this could be a clone of yoda. But even then it wouldnt be baby yoda. It would be yoda 2. 0. How stupid do you have to be not to get that . Jimmy are you finished now . Im not sure. Uncertain the future is. Okay, look, you cant silence me. Han shot first. You cant silence the han shot first. [ applause ] jimmy what im trying to say is this baby yoda is really cute. We have a very good show for you tonight. One of maybe even the alltime greatest director the United States has ever known, Martin Scorsese is with us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] hes here to promote his great new movie the irishman. And as you may know, Martin Scorsese has been getting some attention for comments he made about marvel movies.

And thats why im pleased to announce no, not just announce. Im pleased to bring you the World Premiere trailer for the first ever collaboration between marvel and Martin Scorsese.

Thank you for coming. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. Jimmy thats right. [ cheers and applause ] you see what happens when you make great movies . People love it. And they love you. Wow. Jimmy and happy birthday to you as well. Thank you. Jimmy yesterday was your birthday. 77 . 77, yeah. Double 7. Jimmy what do you do on a 77th birthday . Ihop . No, no. They got me and went to the getty museum. I was hanging out with the etruscans and the greeks and the romans. Jimmy thats a great museum. It really is. Jimmy you walked around . I walked around the atrium, the whole jimmy do people flip when they see you . No, there were people leaving and we got in as they were leaving. You know what i mean . Jimmy perfect. And stumbled about. And ive always wanted to go there. Im just fascinated. Ive been trying to make it to pompeii but i havent been there since 1970. Jimmy it hasnt changed. No, it hasnt. Theyre still dead. This had more life to it. Jimmy i was there a few years back and yeah, its pretty much the same. Well, you did get a nice gift for your birthday. Youve got great reviews for the irishman. [ cheers and applause ] amazing. Jimmy i dont know if thats on your radar or not. Its amazing. Jimmy this movie is based on a book called i heard you paint houses. Right. Jimmy which is a great phrase. Explain what that means. Well, house painters but the thing is theres only one shade. Red. Jimmy red. Yeah. And we also do carpentry. Jimmy and this is a book that is a true story presumably. Yes. Yeah. Jimmy i would imagine you get every single mafiarelated book sent to you. Over the past number of years there have been a few that have been circling about and that sort of thing. But this was interesting because eric roth gave it to bob de niro and de niro and i have been trying to make a picture again since casino. That was 1995. So it was a long time since we had worked together. And we tried to find all these other projects, remakes of the bad and the beautiful, remember the story about hollywood with kirk douglas, all that sort of thing. And finally it came down to a situation where we decided that were going to make a film about an aging hit man supposedly. We were working on this one project. But it was kind of a genre piece and i dont know how to do genre anymore and the genre that i know goes back to 1948. It doesnt pay. So the eric gave him this book. Supposedly the memoirs of a hit man so to speak. And bob came to talk to me about the character. And as he was talking about the character he became rather emotional about it. And i said thats something. Now, if we are going to go back into that milieu, which we were associated with in casino and good fellas, then this is something that maybe we could learn a little more about ourselves and go deeper. You know . Otherwise, what are we doing . Just repeating ourselves. And so we took a chance and Steve Zaillian came in and wrote the script. The book is by charles brant. And by that point basically no one would finance the picture. Jimmy how much do you te oxte the book, do you believe i dont know if its necessary to believe that that actually happened that way or who did what. I was interested in how it affects the people involved, especially when theyre in their 80s and alone ultimately and they think back on their lives, the choices you make in life, the consequences of a life. So therefore, if some of the facts arent quite right, then it really is more about the characters up front in a way. The rest is just a backdrop. You could take the gangster milieu and you can make it politics, you can make it business. I think weve actually done that for real in this country. Exactly. Jimmy the gangster milieu is on cnn every day. Exactly. Exactly. Who said what, when, where. Jimmy you know new york mobster stories. Are you going to make one about trump . [ laughter ] by the way, de niro is great in the movie. Oh, he is. Jimmy and he is in hes present in 95 of the film. Yeah. Jimmy hes really in this one. And also, this is its so hard to imagine that this is your first time working with al pacino. I met al in 1970. Francis coppola introduced me to him. But then al did godfather 1, then godfather 2, and hes in with lumet and sidney pollack and hes like in the stratosphere. I was still making films with my friends, bob and harvey and a couple of people. He was not within my reach any longer and he started working with depalma a lot. Idea that no ones everyones in your reach. I mean, really. So what happens is that finally we get together on this project and bob said al will play jimmy hoffa. I said okay. So we met with al. This is about nine years ago. And we talked to him about it. Jimmy wow. Yeah. We talked to him about it. And heres the thing. I never worked with al before but diane had worked with him. I asked bob whats it like to work with him . And bob gave me so concise and enlightened a reaction. He said hes great. Youll see. [ laughter ] i said does he its al. Its al. Its al. Okay. So the big thing was that half the picture takes place when theyre younger. By the time we got the financing from netflix, because no one would give us the financing for the picture jimmy so they were your last choice . They were my first choice because nobody else would do it. [ laughter ] i said look, of a budget because of the cgi effects. We were doing this youthification. Jimmy right. And it was an experiment. The whole thing was an experiment. Because we could not there was a certain point after we finished the script that we could have probably had them play younger by waited too long, i did another film. He did another film. And by the time we got around together, they were too old to play young. [ laughter ] so we wound up doing this cgi thing which was really remarkable. It was purely e
