[ cheers and applause and we will have music from jade bird. So youre here on a great night. Before we get to all of our wonderful guests, President Trump allegedly pressured the leader of ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election by spreading misinformation about joe biden. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause seth first, lets step back and remember how we got here you might remember that earlier this year in an interview with George Stephanopoulos on abc, trump said straight up he would openly accept the help of a Foreign Government in the 2020 campaign if they offered dirt on an opponent. Lets put yourself in a position youre a congressman somebody comes up and says hey, i have information on your opponent. Do you call the fbi . I dont think if its coming from russia, you do ill tell you what. Ive seen a lot of things over my life. I dont think in my whole life ive ever called the fbi in my whole life you dont call the fbi this is somebody that said, we have information on your opponent. Oh, let me call the fbi. Give me a break. Life doesnt work that way the fbi director seth no. Your life doesnt work that way. Noncriminals lives do work that way you, on the other hand, have no shame. If a mobster called up trump and said, lets meet down by the docks, i cant imagine him going, oh, no, id better run this by my lawyer. Quick, someone knock on rudys coffin. [ laughter and applause and of course, you wouldnt call the fbi. Youre the criminal. The only contact trump has ever had with the fbi is via notes with letters cut out from magazines. [ laughter ] again, trump went out of his way to tell everyone on national television, that if he could get a foreign country to interfere in the 2020 election by giving him dirt on a political opponent, he would absolutely do it your campaign this time around if foreigners, if russia, if china, if someone else offers you information on an opponent, should they accept it or should they call or call the fbi . I think maybe you do both i think you might want to listen i dont there is nothing wrong with listening if somebody called from a country, norway, we have information on your opponent oh i think id want to hear it you want that kind of interference in our elections . Its not and interference they have information. I think id take it. Seth yeah, we know youd take it, because you already took it. Why what is even the point of asking trump these questions anymore . It is like rolling in Hannibal Lecter and saying, okay, we let you go are you going to eat any more guys [ light laughter ] also, i cannot help but notice that youre licking your lips when im asking this question. [ light laughter ] and this is where things start getting a bit crazier. About a month before that interview, trumps lawyer Rudy Giuliani announced that he was planning a trip to ukraine to push for investigations that would help trump, by getting that countrys new government to dig up dirt on the origins of the russia investigation and the family of democratic candidate joe biden. Now, after an outcry, rudy cancelled the trip and after he did that, he went on fox news to explain himself and by explain himself, i mean he did what he always does he made it much worse by explaining hypothetically how he could meddle in the 2020 election if he wanted to. The election in 2020 is a long time from now. And if i wanted to meddle in that election, which i dont, i could have held this for a year. And dropped it right before the convention seth if i wanted to meddle in this election, which i dont is not convincing when youve put so much thought into how you would it [ light laughter ] if i was going to ukraine, which im not, id fly american. Id connect through heathrow, id bring noise canceling head phones, a nice neck pillow, because i want to be well rested for the meddling. [ light laughter ] but once again, rudy also accidentally said something very incriminating. As the fox anchor was trying to get him to end the interview, rudy just casually threw out the idea that if Congress Called him to testify about this, he would cite executive privilege, which would imply that hes spoken directly to the president about this attempt to interview in the 2020 election. And when rudy said that, even the fox anchor was taken aback by the fact that rudy was making news all right mr. Mayor, please keep us in touch with whats going on but for now, well let the world know youre not headed to ukraine. I will. Right now, im not going all right so they can call me before a committee. Were out of time and maybe ill take executive privilege or something or other. Oh, boy i dont know. Well see. Oh boy. Youre making another headline tonight. Well lets see what can happen mr. Mayor, thank you for dropping in. But they are really pathetic. Weve got to go and scared. And theyre on defense all right, weve got to go. Thank you for dropping in. Great to see you seth only, only, only on fox news do they follow, oh boy, youre making headlines with well, weve got to go. [ laughter and applause it was like the director was in the booth screaming [ applause ] go to commercial go to commercial before journalism happens [ laughter ] so just to recap, thats where things stood before last week. The president said in public that he would welcome the help of a Foreign Government interfering in the 2020 election. And his personal lawyer was trying to get ukraine to do exactly that and then things got even more suspicious for example, it was reported in august that trump was seriously considering blocking 250 million in military aid to ukraine. And then last week, we found out that in a phone call with an unnamed foreign leader, trump had made a promise that was regarded as so troubling, that it prompted an official in the u. S. Intelligence community to file a whistleblower complaint so an intelligence official who heard trumps promise on the call, found it so alarming they reported it. Now at first, trumps only response to this was to insist that he would never be stupid enough to make such an illicit promise on a phone call when other people were listening. He tweeted his first response, writing, another fake news story out there. It never ends. Virtually any time i speak on the phone to a foreign leader, i understand that there will be many people listening from various u. S. Agencies. Not to mention from the other country itself no problem. And he goes on to say, knowing all of this, is anybody dumb enough to believe that i would Say Something inappropriate with a foreign leader while on such a potentially heavily populated call . Seth of course you would Say Something inappropriate. Youre always saying something inappropriate. [ light laughter ] you have no filter and no ability to restrain yourself just last week, when you were touring your stupid border wall, you blurted out about the technology built into the wall that even one of your own officials said should be kept a secret one thing we havent mentioned is technology. Theyre wired so that we will know if somebody is trying to break through. And you may want to discuss that a little bit, general. Sir, there could be some merit in not discussing that [ laughter and applause okay. I like that. That was a great answer. Ill just tell you theyre wired. [ light laughter ] seth so that guy that guy just said, dont tell them about the wires. And your response was cool, cool, cool, cool but, just so you know, theyre wired. [ laughter ] i think your brain is wired, just the wires arent in the right order. [ light laughter ] i mean, he did that in front of cameras and microphones. So i have no problem believing that trump would try to extort a foreign leader with other people listening. That would not be surprising at all. And sure enough, over the weekend, we found out that not only did trump pressure the president of ukraine into investigating biden and his son, he did it over and over and over again. President trump urging the president of ukraine to investigate joe bidens son, hunter, multiple times thats according to the wall street journal in a breaking news story just minutes ago. Sources telling the journal that President Trump made the request about eight times on a july phone call. Seth he brought it up eight times on one phone call. Eight times makes it seem like a pretty obvious crime its like if you went on trial for stabbing a guy and said, it was an accident. He fell on the knife. And they said, eight times . [ light laughter ] yeah. He was wearing roller skates. [ light laughter ] now that report came after trumps lawyer Rudy Giuliani had all but confessed in an insane meltdown on cnn. In fact, at one point during the interview, rudy went from denying the story to admitting it like 30 seconds later did you ask the ukraine to investigate joe biden . No. Actually, i didnt i asked the ukraine to investigate the allegations that there was interference in the election of 2016 by the ukrainians for the benefit of Hillary Clinton, for which there already is you never asked anything about hunter biden you never asked anything about joe biden . The only thing i asked about joe biden is to get to the bottom of how it was that lutsenko, who was appointed rht dismissed the case against so did you ask the ukraine to look into joe biden. Of course i did [ laughter and applause seth what . You just said you just i mean, ive seen witnesses break down under crossexamination, but never the lawyer sometimes i cant decide with rudy if hes really a confused old man or if its all an intentional strategy that he keeps [ bleep ] up, because hes a confused old man [ light laughter ] its sometimes impossible to follow rudys logic and syntax in this interview. Just watch as within the span of one sentence, he calls the allegation ridiculous, says hes proud of it, then calls it ridiculous again you want to cover some ridiculous charge that i urged the Ukrainian Government to investigate corruption well, i did. And im proud of it. Then its not a ridiculous allegation you just admitted it its a ridiculous allegation. You just admitted it. Its a ridiculous allegation. Rudy of course, of course, of course you just admitted that you did it [ laughter and applause seth i mean, thats like this is the easiest interview chris cuomo has ever done. He doesnt even need to be there. [ light laughter ] just put rudy on both sides of the screen and let him debate himself. [ light laughter ] its a ridiculous allegation. But you said you did it. I did it and im proud of it. Cuomo also tried to point that rudy contradicted himself, but rudy denied it i have no problem with you launching allegations. But just be careful about what you say. I asked you i am very careful about what i said did you ask ukraine to look into joe biden . You said, no. I didnt ask then you wont to say that you did. No, i didt say that. Its all recorded, rudy seth recorded [ laughter ] oh i thought we were having dinner. This isnt tavern on the green [ light laughter ] ive been eating a steak this whole time [ light laughter ] and of course, because rudy was making wild and baseless accusations about joe biden or ukrainians somehow colluding with Hillary Clinton to set up a rigged investigation or whatever, cuomo asked him for, you know, proof. And of course, rudy could not provide any. And you know what youre going to find out . It was the ukrainian collusion with Hillary Clinton if you dont want to give me the proof, thats fine when it comes out, ill cover it i dont have to give you the proof. Go read it im not saying you have to. It would be nice its written in books you just wont read it its all over the internet go read it seth that does mean anything everything is on the internet. [ light laughter ] you can probably find a listicle called 30 times rudy sat on his balls on the internet [ laughter ] doesnt mean its true then at one point, this interview got so off the rails that cuomo and rudy were just shouting at each other after rudy said cuomo was biased and called him a sellout you want to distort what im saying i dont want to distort you are totally biased. Im not biased. You are, chris. Why i would have you on if i were biased, knowing that were going to have this kind of conversation because it is sad to watch what happened to you its sad sad what watch what happened to me . Im a sellout . You are a sellout youre telling me that im a sellout . Seth come on you guys are gonna talk like that, were gonna have to move this interview to a butcher shop and invite joe pesci [ light laughter ] so knowing the damage had been done, rudy had to once again engage in this ritual walk of shame from the cnn studios over to the fox news studios where they played his cnn interview for him, made him watch it and tried to get him to explain it [ light laughter ] and i love that rudy tried to pull a clark kent and put on glasses [ laughter ] so the people would think he was a different guy. Now now, watching this tape, i dont know who that good eyed lunatic is but [ laughter ] but hes speaking nonsense he should be fired. [ laughter ] and once we started to find the truth of what happened, the same routine played out that has happened with previous trump crimes first he denied it then he admitted it. And basically said, so what . Watch the progression of trumps chang
