I will have an answer for you, right after we sift through the wreckage of the president s actions and not before.

Seth today is my final day before a haircut and our last show in our Captains Quarters and its bittersweet, because theres so much, so much we didnt get to. For example, i had hoped to introduce a talking jon hamm painting that didnt want to be here i dont like this bit i dont want to do it. Seth i wanted to do a bit about checking in with my friend, ethan hawke, who i put in charge of exterminating the wasps in my attic. Seth, theyve taken over, man theyve learned how to use tools its a its a [ bleep ] nightmare seth and i wanted amy schumer to be my first and only Captains Quarters instudio guest. You ran out of time seth i thought your people would have told you. No, ive been sitting here for an hour and a half i seth oh, i can i just plug can i plug my show really quick seth we dont we really are short on time. Okay. Should i go .

I got a new voice i got cleaned yeah, i got my own podcast, and if you guys could tweet about it or whatnot, my people think that could be helpful. Seth and turned out the ghost lobster who long tormented the sea captain only wanted companionship, and once he discovered that, the sea captain not only forgave him, he offered him the job of first mate on his ship thank you, sea captain. Thank you, friend seth and the sea captain, well, he maybe got the best gift of all i got to participate in a long, psychotic bit that would have eaten [ bleep ] in front of a live audience. Seth speaking of psychos final summer segue seth yet another of the president s close confidantes, his former Campaign Manager and chief strategist, was arrested today for a wild scam that a closer look. Seth i dont need to tell you guys that everythings bad and good news is very rare, but when it does come along, why not gorge ourselves on it . Even when it comes later in the day, causing you to rip up a finished closer look and start from scratch hey, you guys remember steve bannon, the White Nationalist giant pimple who ran trumps campaign, then worked in his white house and helped engineer such odious policies as the muslim ban and who publicly defended the horrific family separation policy . Often wore two shirts when one would have sufficed. You know, the dude who had a crazy person white board in his office with policies scrawled on it like suspend immigration from terrorprone regions, implement new extreme vetting techniques, and suspend the Syrian Refugee Program . Im shocked it also didnt include brunch with slender man and kill the batman. You know, steve bannon, the gentleman who currently looks like a guy selling exotic reptiles on the venice beach boardwalk. Steve bannon wasnt born he just burst out of someones chest, kuato style he looks like a where are they now about the face melt skeleton from raiders of the lost ark. Look at this, its like the crypt keeper spent a month in a tanning booth. Well, now that weve piled on, we can move on ooh, wait, i forgot. One more thought you guys, he got arrested news just coming out from the Southern District of new york, saying that steve bannon and three other men have been arrested and indicted and charged in relation to their role in a Nonprofit Organization called we build the wall its a crowdfunding organization that the sdny says has raised about 25 million for wallrelated funding what the indictment here is alleging is that bannon and these others were skimming some of the proceeds from that fundraising for themselves, even though they had suggested publicly that this was a volunteer organization and they were not taking salaries steve bannon, through a Nonprofit Organization under his control nonprofit one, as its referred to here in the document received over 1 million from we build the wall, at least some of which they say bannon used to cover hundreds of thousands of dollars in his own personal expenses. Seth you know what, baby, its been a brutal six months, so im going to mainline some schadenfreude. Line that up on a mirror and give me a dollar bill to snort it with. [ sniffing ] whoo seriously, did prosecutors know this was our last summer show in the Captains Quarters because this is a fantastic parting gift thats right steve bannon was arrested for allegedly skimming a Million Dollars from a scam charity that claimed to be raising money to build the southern border wall this is the perfect encapsulation of the trump era from beginning to end, the wall was a nonstop scam trump scammed his supporters by telling them mexico would pay for it then we ended up paying for it, then this baked potato fabio over here said hed raise money for it, then he scammed everyone again by allegedly skimming money from it. Its a russian nesting doll of fraud. I cant wait until bannon raises money for his Legal Defense fund and we find out he lost it all at the racetrack sir, please, we, uh wed love you to leave. Youre scaring the horses. And as nbcs Pete Williams reported today, its pretty obvious this thing was a scam from the jump. According to the Court Documents, this we build the wall thing came and flamed out very quickly according to the Court Documents, the founder of it, this man, brian kolfage, said that he would not take any of the money, that it was entirely volunteer effort but it said he did take a lot of money, and as for steve bannon, it says he formed a Nonprofit Organization that he controlled. It received about a Million Dollars from this crowdfunding effort, some of which the Justice Department says he used to cover and im quoting here now hundreds of thousands of dollars in bannons personal expenses. The Court Documents basically say that this thing was pretty suspect from almost from the beginning. Seth i mean, of course it was a crowdsourced fundraiser to build a [ bleep ] wall in the middle of the desert the only way it could have been a more obvious scam is if they offered free boner pills with every donation the thing was one rung belowim name a star after you. Oh, yeah, that one up there is, uh thats, uh, dan. That will be 5,000 bucks, cash only. The details of this arrest are just absolutely incredible every little tidbit is better than the last. For example, according to cnn, bannon was arrested on a boat thursday off the eastern coast of connecticut by federal agents along with officials from the United States postal inspection service. He got arrested on a boat by the Postal Service the Postal Service has a navy . Please, tell me its just a mail truck with a giant cannon. Nothing is more fun than imagining a bunch of Postal Service inspectors in their short shorts, boarding a yacht and arresting steve bannon in a dramatic high seas sting operation, swinging down on a rope, carrying letter openers like swords. How has there never been a csi post Office Something tells me david caruso would definitely come back for that looks like this package has been returned to sender. Thats how he held his hands, right . After he put on the glasses . Very delicately, like this like he was Still Holding them seriously, think about how perfect this is. The same Public Agency trump is currently trying to destroy, one of the most cherished Public Institutions in america, arrested his former Campaign Manager for allegedly skimming money from a fundraiser for their scam border wall, two days after we found out trumps previous Campaign Manager colluded with russian intelligence its like the end of the summer tv season, and theyre wrapping up all of the story arcs at once this is really such a perfect encapsulation of trumpism. Its all a giant grift bannon was getting rich and so was trump. The dudes constantly at his own properties lobbyists and foreign officials stay at his hotels to curry favor. His sons are going around the world drumming up new business theyre all just fattening their wallets and doling out cash to their rich buddies while they take Health Insurance and Unemployment Benefits away from millions of americans who are suffering and out of work. Trump was asked this afternoon about bannons arrest, and all he could muster was this i think its a very sad thing for mr. Bannon i think its, uh surprising seth oh, really . Youre surprised trumps probably just surprised bannon had the idea before him jewelry and a boat . How come i dont have a boat my hair would look great flapping in the sea breeze. Trump then seemed to offer some kind words for bannon. I do think its a sad event and again, steve has had a great career at Goldman Sachs. Seth oh, Goldman Sachs well, thats a surprise. Those guys have never done anything untoward. Thats like saying, he was in the mob . Im shocked he had such a great career in sanitation why would he just throw that away . Seriously, at this point, trump has enough criminals around him for a [ bleep ] oceans eleven remake of course, that movie would tend ten minutes after trump gets the Team Together and one of them live streams it on facebook. Okay, thats the topsecret plan lev, i cant help but notice youre making a frontfacing video right now, and it seems like, based on the beeps that are coming out of your phone, youre getting Live Feedback on it. These guys just cycle through one scam after another remember, even before he became president , thanks to not one, but two criminal conspiracies on his behalf, then got impeached for trying to orchestrate another one, he settled a Fraud Lawsuit over trump university, his charity was dissolved for misusing funds he was even sued over a scam Vitamin Company and now hes doing it all over again. President trump says the white house is looking into a new, unproven coronavirus treatment called oleandrin its made from the oleander plant. Its extremely toxic its been used in coronavirus trials involving monkeys, but its been never tested on people oleandrin have you heard about it as a possible therapy for coronavirus . Ive heard of it, yes it is something people are talking about very strongly. Well look at it well look at it were looking at a lot of Different Things seth okay, first of all, any time you ask trump a question about anything, hes going to respond by saying were looking at it. Hell never admit he doesnt know what youre talking about thats why he will never fall for a prank question if you asked trump, sir, does it smell like updog in here, he would say, people are saying it, and were looking at it very strongly were looking at updog were looking at downdog were looking at all of the dog directions you know, we have the best updog in the world a lot of people a lot of people are saying it, youre hearing it more and more under trump. Very little no one was talking about updog obama. [ clearing throat i made myself choke doing a trump impression so, now trump is touting a plant extract to cure coronavirus. Honestly, its only a matter of time before he shows up on the white house lawn with some crystals and a dream catcher the guy will fall for literally any old person scam. Im convinced the only way well get him out of the white house is by selling him a reverse mortgage and waiting for him to default. Damn it i knew youd betray me, magnum not only is oleandrin not a covid cure, its a deadly plant poison so now hes suggested ingesting bleach, hydroxychloroquine, and a deadly plant poison. Even better, combine those three in a bow
