This is late night. We hope youre all doing well. And now, if you dont mind, we are going to get to the news at the white house ceremony for the unveiling of former president obama and first Lady Michelle obamas official portraits, President Biden said obama was one of the, quote, most consequential president s in our history. That is true, said the consequence. [ laughter ] new York Governor Kathy Hochul announced yesterday that masks will be optional on Public Transportation this comes almost 18 months after passengers made the same announcement [ laughter ] what . Starting today okay. Former trump strategist, steve bannon, turned himself in to new york authorities today to face state criminal charges. Well, the good news is, im positive this man knows how to make toilet wine [ laughter ] the white house announced that President Biden will travel to boston on monday to speak about his initiative to end cancer, because if theres one thing weve learned from boston, anything is possible [ laughter ] i got her back Democratic Senate candidate, john fetterman, agreed yesterday to debate republican dr. Mehmet oz. Apparently, hes trying to get under ozs skin by making him drive back to pennsylvania [ laughter ] put it in google maps thats right Democratic Senate candidate, john fetterman, agreed yesterday to debate republican dr. Mehmet oz. Were not sure when, so heres a clip from punchout to tide you over [ video game music ] [ laughter ] seth according to the latest numbers, the average American Life expectancy has fallen to 76. 1 years old but dont tell that to the 2024 election. [ laughter ] hey, were both above average. We are, its true were both a little bit better than average. [ light laughter ] according to new research, ocean water in the Northern Hemisphere has been unusually warm. Sorry, said this kid [ laughter ] oh, yeah i didnt know what the face would be, but thats what its supposed to be [ light laughter ] according to a new book, former President Trump once tried to pa attorneys legal fees wi horse not rudy tho when is to pay rudy, trump saidoes anyoave ch for pigeon . [ t laug ] so, heted to p with han a pige he wanted change he didnt want to pay rudy a fulgeon he needed change for a pigeon to then give slightly less than one pigeons worth no one said i did a full pigeons worth [ light laughter ] [ laughter ] and finally, officials in nigeria recently seized 16 sacks filled with thousands of donkey penises that were set to be illegally exported to hong kong. The mistake . Bringing them as a carryon. [ laughter ] you know what the great thing about that joke is it doesnt answer any of the questions i have about the news story. [ laughter ] we just all assume the audience would be like, uhhuh, cool, 16,000 donkey penises. Of course, youd want those. [ laughter ] i have no followups just get to the joke. That was the monologue, everybody. We are off [ cheers and applause we are running we got a great show for you tonight. She is a grammywinning musician, has her own beauty line, and she is coming back as a coach on the voice. Our friend, gwen stefani, will be here. [ cheers and applause they are a legendary comic book writer with a debut novel out now. Grant morrison is back and also joining us [ cheers and applause one of my heroes, grant. Before we get to that, donald trump apparently stashed highly classified documents about the Nuclear Capabilities of a foreign nation at his country club and reportedly bragged to friends he had intelligence about the french president s sex life for more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause seth before we get to the story about a deeply compromised expresident with various connections to International Criminals and shady financial entanglements who apparently stole highly classified documents about Nuclear Capabilities and left them laying around the basement of his fake marble golf lair you know, normal politics stuff theres also been an intense heat wave happening in california and much of the west right now. Which first of all should be yet another wakeup call to the imminent dangers of Climate Change but its also one of those stories that comes along every so often that neatly captures just how craven and ghoulish the modern gop has become under donald trump you see, California Governor Gavin Newsom asked residents of his state to conserve energy for a few hours to avoid blackouts, and so far its worked californians banded together and kept the power grid running without issue. But then this midnovember jackolantern who sounds like urkel swallowed a kazoo decided to chime in on the whole thing in a way that revealed a complete lack of shame and selfawareness, for no other reason than hes apparently just a glutton for humiliation. I love that gavin newsom was wearing his fleece, obviously in cool air conditioning, saying, let them eat cake, let them sweat, you dont get air conditioning. Its like john kerry who flies his private jet all over the planet lecturing people that you poor, gritty, working class with dirt under your fingernails, you need to go without an automobile you need to turn your air conditioner off. In fact, you need to just stay home and eat worms seth now, if he has worms on the brain, its probably because there was one in the bottle of the tequila he drank in cancun after he fled his state while his constituents froze in a deadly winter storm. [ cheers and applause you guys remember that is it bad is it bad when your senator looks like harold hill trying to catch a train out of town no [ light laughter ] aside from the cancun hypocrisy from zombie danny zuko over here, i would also like to point out that unlike california, texas deregulated power grid actually did fail during that deadly snowstorm in 2021, and remains so fragile that texas officials basically did the same thing as california earlier this year texas grid operator urged electricity conservation as the heat wave drove up demand. In fact, the states power grid operator asked texans to turn up their thermostats and postpone running major appliances between 2 00 p. M. And 8 00 p. M six hours. Thats just enough time to book a flight to cancun and then have your neighbors, who apparently all hate you, rat you out to the new york times. Remember that . [ laughter ] when cruz invited his neighbors to come to cancun with him, and instead, they immediately called the newspapers to complain about how much of a [ bleep ] he was imagine how much you have to dislike someone to call a newspaper about it i dont even know how to call a newspaper. [ laughter ] and what was that conversation man, cruz stinks. Are you going to tweet about him . No, im calling the newspapers. [ laughter ] i want every Single Person staying at a hotel to hear about this. Anyway, cruz is just one of the more noxious examples of the gops many shameless liars and trump toadies. Theres also florida senator, marco rubio, who has been one of trumps most vocal defenders throughout the intensifying criminal investigation into all the classified documents trump apparently had stashed away at his offbrand marriott for disbarred personal injury lawyers. [ light laughter ] rubio had already dismissed the investigation as a storage issue last week. And now hes complaining about leaks to the media if true, this Washington Post report, highly classified documents at maralago that only a cabinetlevel officer or higher could even look at, that doesnt seem like the kind of thing you should have in your postpresident ial desk drawer. Well, lets break this down first of all, again, we really dont know because lets go back and understand that all of this information is coming from one side and one place and that is sources with knowledge of the investigation well, who are the sources with knowledge of the investigation the fbi and the Justice Department and they are leaking to the media. And the only reason to leak to the media is to influence the narrative, which tells you this is being politicized, which is doing damage to the fbi, the Justice Department, to important institutions in our country. Seth what do you think does more damage to our countrys institution leaking information about an investigation of a great public interest, or donald trump bringing Home National secrets on his last day of work like Henry Winkler taking home the fonzie jacket when they wrapped happy days [ laughter ] and i know the fonzie jacket is in the smithsonian now, but thats only after the feds raided henrys house oh oh, he seems sweet, old Henry Winkler, but he almost never leaves a room without a stolen prop in his pocket. [ light laughter ] but you know, i just have to say im so surprised to hear rubio change his tune on the trump document scandal because before this recent revelation, he was actually very vocal about the importance of being careful with classified information. Apparently this is a level of intelligence classification that goes beyond top secret now, am i wrong in my reading of the law that this would be multiple felonies in every felony in every case i mean, isnt this indictable . Yeah, this is very serious. This is very serious number one, obviously, theres a legal element to it. And again, were going to leave that to the fbi and to the Justice Department but moving forward, theres legal issues here. But let me just say, how can the next commander in chief be someone who inappropriately stashes highly classified information and the risk of that is the risk of that is that were giving opponents of this government, our adversaries, insight into our thinking, into our decision making. And it provides most certainly an advantage in the National Security realm seth thank you, senator rubio. Honestly, its just so refreshing to hear a republican finally muster up the courage to state the obvious and take on trumps various abuses of power. In fact, to celebrate his honesty and consistency, we had an ice cream cake made just for him that says on it, thank you for your bravery, senator rubio. Oh, and crap, i forgot, we we had to turn off the fridge all day to conserve power. [ laughter ] well, its you guys, its the thought its the thought that counts [ applause ] anyway, congratulations to marco rubio for showing the courage to whats that . The clips we showed were from 2015 and 2016, and he was talking about Hillary Clintons emails and we just edited out the parts where he said her name to demonstrate the shameless hypocrisy and debasement in service of donald trump . Well, then you know what im glad the cake melted well just give it to the crew [ applause ] like, blend it up. Tell them its milkshakes. And let them know its my idea [ laughter ] put a note on it, says its from me thatll finally tap the brakes on their bullying. [ laughter ] anyway, so, rubio, like the rest of them, continues to brush this off like its no big deal, despite the fact that trump apparently had some of the governments most closely guarded secrets in his possession, which we now know included materials about a foreign countrys Nuclear Capabilities were following some breaking news on the Justice Department investigation to the documents donald trump had stashed away. The Washington Post has just reported that, and i quote, a document describing a foreign governments military defenses, including its Nuclear Capabilities, was found by fbi agents who searched Donald Trumps maralago residence. The post previously reported that Nuclear Documents were among those sought by investigators. Also, from the post reporting, some of the seized documents detailed top secret u. S. Operations that are so closely guarded, many senior National Security officials are kept in the dark about them. Seth okay, but in fairness, trump was probably also kept in the dark about them. Technically, i guess they had to show him classified documents when he was president , but they probably distracted him the same way you give your kid an ipad on an airplane to shut him up all right, sir, here are those Nuclear Documents we are required by law to show you, but also, we dvred rudys latest appearance on hannity for you. You could watch that or an episode of paw patrol maybe . We do we do love paw patrol. we love law and order. we love paws and laws and order. [ laughter ] plus, rudy does kind of remind me of wally the walrus. [ laughter ] lets just take a step back and let it soak in how insane this is the president just had a bunch of highly classified materials lying around the basement of his country club about extremely sensitive Global Affairs that affect the safety and security of the entire world. And no, im not talking about harry styles spitting on chris pine, although [ laughter ] although, i will say, this right here is one of those extremely rare pop culture moments where i do wish trump had his twitter back just for a minute [ laughter ] so we could see what would almost certainly be a psychotic and likely very funny take on the whole thing. Many people are saying harry no styles spit, drooled on one of our Great American chrises at the venus film festival. Could it have been gum or mint tic tac . Lots of germs. Not nice sleepy joe should act. Whereshunterslaptop. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause i would say the man knew how to tweet, but he clearly didnt, and thats what made it so special. I do think, all things considered, its probably not ideal that an expresident with a bunch of corrupt foreign entanglements to mobsters and dictators, not to mention various indicted henchmen, had a bunch of classified information about weapons that could eliminate all life on earth, just lying around his country club where spies, or botox salesmen, could just easily find them but dont you worry, trumps very normal son eric would like to assure us, contrary to the photo the Justice Department released as part of its affidavit in the case, trump kept his country club very organized. You literally have the fbi spending more time leaking stuff to the press i mean, these pictures you think my father happened to just leave documents all over his office floor seth no. I think when the fbi found them, they laid them out and took a picture of them. [ laughter ] i also dont think drug dealers keep all their money and cocaine neatly stacked on one stable [ laughter ] hey, you sure we shouldnt hide this stuff somewhere, boss . No, i like the way it brings the room together. Yeah, make them neat [ applause ] make all the money neat also, i love how these guys suddenly complain about leaks now after supporting donald trump, arguably the biggest and messiest gossip on the planet he reportedly bragged to some of his closest associates, both during and after his time in the white house, that he knew illicit details about the love life of french president Emmanuel Macron. Im sorry, you think its scandalous that a french politician had an illicit love life you know what would be way more scandalous a frfrench politicician with a boring l love life you think an illicit love life would be bad for Emmanuel Macron . Im pretty sure his official Campaign Slogan was macron a trois . [ laughter ] theres no simpler, more straightforward example of how brazen and shameless the Republican Party has become than its acceptance of law breaking and abuse of power when it comes to donald trump. They will support or apologize for anything he does, no matter how egregious, because they are fully enthralled to his authoritarian cult when it comes to trump, guys like ted cruz and marco rubio have the spines of worms [ laughter ] seth this has been a closer look.
