Seth good evening. Im seth meyers. This is late night. We hope youre doing well. And now, if you dont mind, were going to get to the news President Biden made a surprise trip last week to ukraine by taking a 10hour train ride, or as the guy next to him thought, an 80hour train ride. [ laughter ] President Biden reportedly had a difficult time sleeping last week on the overnight train ride from poland to ukraine and read a briefing memo on the history of kyiv and that didnt put him to sleep [ laughter ] that would have put the last president into a multiyear coma [ laughter ] in a new interview, President Biden said that he was, other things to finish before launching a fullblown president ial campaign. Like, for instance, yellowstone. [ laughter ] according to a new report, then president trump, was so upset with late night host Jimmy Kimmels criticism that he asked white house staffers to call disney executives and he was apparently so upset with me that he called my boss thats right, seth. I told him to get lost [ laughter ] seth good looking out, wally. Thank you. Youre welcome. Yep. Seth Vice PresidentKamala Harris spoke today in South Carolina about the biden administrations expansion of high Speed Internet access although, it didnt help matters that the live stream started like this. [ modem dialing and were live. [ laughter ] House Republicans reportedly planning to hold hearings on the biden administrations response to the toxic train wreck in east palatine, ohio. And one way or another, theyre going to figure out how hunter biden sabotaged that train. [ laughter ] Florida Governor ron desantis book the courage to be free is set to be released tomorrow. Look for it wherever books are legal. [ laughter ] Florida Governor ron desantis held a threeday retreat over the weekend for top donors and supporters at the four seasons in palm beach. For a 10,000 donation, you got to meet him. And for 20,000, you didnt. [ laughter ] an alligator was recently captured in brooklyns Prospect Park and taken to the bronx zoo. You made it move from brooklyn to the bronx [ laughter ] at least turn it into boots and let it die with dignity. [ laughter ] firefighters in North Carolina recently rescued a newlywed couple that got stuck in an elevator for 2. 5 hours after their wedding. The couple is doing fine and ready to get on with their divorce. [ laughter ] and finally, a woman in georgia was arrested last week after she allegedly drove her car into a popeyes restaurant because her order did not have biscuits. [ laughter ] apparently, those biscuits are the only thing that take the edge off the meth. [ laughter ] that was the monologue, everybody. Were off and running. [ cheers and applause weve got a great show for you tonight. Hes an emmywinning, oscar nominated actor you know from cheers, white men cant jump, true detective. He just hosted snl and his latest film champions is in theaters next weekend. Woody harrelson is here, everybody. [ cheers and applause and his third album of the show [ cheers and applause will be out this summer and hes also one of the new coaches of the voice starting here next monday on nbc. This is very exciting because obviously, this is the first any of you are hearing about him his name is niall horan. [ cheers and applause before we get to all that, you guys, fox news has apparently barred its own anchors from covering a billion dollar lawsuit against the company that revealed its onair personalities knowingly lied to their viewers about the 2020 election meanwhile, fox also gave air time to Marjorie Taylor greene to defend her call for a National Divorce between red states and blue states for more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause seth you will often hear those on the right say that the socalled elite Corporate Media lies to its viewers. Although i personally find it a little odd that they complain about the media being corporate elitist when their Favorite Network has a headquarters in midtown manhattan and is owned by a Mega Corporation run by a a media mogul who is one of the worlds richest oligarchs and the main villain from the second crocodile dundee movie [ laughter ] yes, i can see thats a knife but ill tell my viewers its not a knife. Who do you think theyre going to believe . You know, obviously, im not going to say the media never gets stories wrong or that you cant disagree with them you can. As senator Bernie Sanders did recently without even saying a word we also have one of the most innovative Healthcare Systems when it comes to creation of pharmaceutical drugs you were doing this. [ laughter ] seth Bernie Bernie uses his index finger the way a samurai uses a sword [ laughter ] if he raises it, he has to wag it you know, by law he actually has to carry a license for it and keep it in a tiny little holster. [ laughter ] what i appreciate about bernie is that theres just no guile with him its the opposite of a jedi mind trick. If bernie had been in that cruiser with c3po and r2d2, the scene wouldve gone much differently. These are in fact the droids youre looking for but im not going to let you take them and here is why. The top 1 of stormtroopers already own 90 of the droids. [ laughter and applause but there is there is a massive difference between criticizing the media for limiting the scope of debate and claiming journalists as a whole are engaged in a broad conspiracy to lie to people as bernie explained do you worry when you talk about the Corporate Media that you are targeting journalists when you say that . No, no. Donald trump talks about fake news and thats simply to deflect attention from the fact that hes a pathological liar. My experience, one on one with media, they work hard. They very rarely am i misquoted. But what i am talking about, margaret, is that Corporate Media limits the kind of debate that we have in this this country. You tell me, you know more about it than i do how often do we talk about income and wealth inequality were talking about it right now, senator yeah, but how often not everybody is Bernie Sanders on your show seth and you know bernie will go on any show if youre willing to let him talk about income and inequality. Bernie would fully do the masked singer if it meant getting his message out. [ laughter ] bravo good guess but now the bad news. [ laughter ] anyway, the point is, theres a difference between goodfaith media criticism and claiming journalists are engaged in nefarious conspiracy of lies as the right often does. In fact, as it turns out, theyre the ones knowingly lying to their viewers as we found out from a recent court filing in a billion dollar defamation suit against fox news a stunning new court filing revealing how top talent and executives at fox news trashed donald trump and ridiculed his legal team and their 2020 election conspiracies behind the cameras all while hyping those same conspiracies on the air to their viewers. Fox staff were privately blasting the big lie as b. S. , insane, mindblowingly nuts, reckless as Trump LawyersRudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell were making wildly false claims about rigged Voting Machines after trump lost in 2020, private Communications Reveal that protrump voices at fox news were calling it nuts. Watching giuliani, rupert wrote in an email, really crazy stuff and damaging Sidney Powell is lying, by the way. Tucker carlson wrote to fellow fox host laura ingram, i caught her. Its insane. Ingram responded, sidney is a complete nut no one will work with her. Ditto with rudy. That whole narrative that sidney was pushing, said fox host sean hannity, i did not believe it for one second. Seth they were all communicating privately about how insane the big lie was while turning around and hyping that lie to their viewers when i first read those quotes, i was honestly speechless. I just wish i had a way to communicate my disapproval without words. [ laughter ] oh senator, please. Put that finger back in its holster. [ laughter ] you know when hes over my shoulder like that, he looks like the angel bernie telling me not to do something bad. Angel bernie, should i lie to my viewers and tell them trump won the election oh oh, but that must mean theres a devil bernie on my other side telling me to go for it. Lets see. Devil bernie, should i lie to my viewers for ratings . Oh [ laughter ] oh, no you guys, this is what happens when we take a week off. [ laughter ] we lose our focus and we have two bernies on screen at the same time. [ laughter ] the point is, the very same fox news anchors who constantly accuse the socalled Mainstream Media lying were admits they were lying to their viewers and were admitting behind closed doors that they were lying to their viewers. And the supposed evidence they were getting for all these claims was transparently insane on its face. Before one interview with trump lawyer Sidney Powell, in advance she told fox that her Single Source for these election claims was a person who does, time travel in a semiconscious state. Let me repeat that their source, now at the heart of this defamation claim at a time when the lies led to violence, was someone who said they knew what they knew because they got it by experiencing time travel in a semiconscious state. Seth if Sidney Powell had a time traveling friend, why didnt they tell her turtleneck sweaters were out of style [ laughter ] fun fact, sidney wore that outfit at the press conference where rudys head started to leak do you guys remember that . A day professional hair and makeup artists now refer to as their pearl harbor of course, rudy doesnt use professional hair and makeup artists. I save so much money when i do it myself. Um, rudy, one of your eyes fell off. [ laughter ] double sided tape my ass. And can i say a fox news head of time traveler, i always thought itd be rudy i mean, look at him. He looks like he got back from the year 3000. [ laughter ] of course, in rudys version of back to the future, he travels back in time to make sure his parents never met. If they never marry, my first wife wont legally be my second cousin. Yeah, but rudy, if they never meet, youll never be born ill cross that bridge when i come to it. [ laughter ] but thats right fox aired an interview with a crazy person who told them in advance that her only source for her Election Fraud claims was someone who supposedly time travelled in a semiconscious state. Was there any follow up . Man, sidney, it would help if you had a second source here. Ill have a Haunted Antique doll who sometimes speaks to me, but sadly, shes pretty convinced biden won fair and square yeah, shes being a real bitch about it. [ laughter ] my favorite part of that time travel story, by the way, is that the fox anchor who received that information then passed it along to the trump family. Not only did they air that, but the host, Maria Bartiromo welcomed that lawyer powell knowing that she had this madeup conspiracy theory. And then, thats not all, the fox anchor then steps in as a conduit to take that information back to trump family members, quote, responding to the lawyer, powell, that she shared this important info with eric trump seth man, if theres anyone in the trump family who would be excited to hear that time travel is real, it would be eric trump. [ laughter ] thank you for sharing this important info, maria. I will use it to travel back in time wearing a mask of my fathers face to have a catch with my sevenyearold self. [ laughter ] i think that will fix everything i will also intercept and replace that birthday card he once gave me that said happy whatever why does hallmark even make those . [ laughter ] the lawsuit also alleged that trump himself tried to call into fox on january 6th, but that fox refused to put him on air, presumably because they knew what he was saying was dangerous. According to cnn, trump tried called to call into fox news after his supporters attacked the u. S. Capitol on january 6th, 2021, but the network refused to put him on air because, it would be irresponsible to put him on the air and could impact a lot of people in a negative way. That is the most polite euphemism ive ever heard. [ laughter ] thats like Hannibal Lecter describing himself in his tinder bio as foodie with an adventurous pallet [ laughter ] so, fox knew this was all b. S. And yet they were hyping to their viewers anyway in fact, they were even trying to punish others at the network who dared to correct the record. When trump falsely claimed that dominion machines cost him 2. 7 million votes, fox reporter jacky hinrich responded with a tweet saying, dominion voting in top election infrastructure officials categorically deny this. Some of hinrichs colleagues at fox wanted her to be punished. Even though they knew that what she was saying was true. Please get her fired, seriously. Tucker carlson wrote host laura ingram and sean hannity, it needs to stop immediately. Like tonight its measurably hurting the company. The stock price is down. Not a joke. Seth so next time tucker rails against Corporate Media, remember he does the news with one eye on the stock ticker. Hes always checking on foxs stock prices well, theres his other investments like the bow tie emporium and [ bleep ] m ms. [ laughter ] but tucker isnt news. Hes entertainment and he knows his audience doesnt want the truth. They want their stories. Tucker telling the truth would be like kylo ren turning the camera mid threatening monologue and saying, im not really kylo ren im adam driver. You guys know me [ laughter ] from girls. None of this is real its just for fun. Anyway, back to space. [ laughter ] fox viewers didnt want the truth then, and they dont want the truth now, which is why no one on fox is talking about the lawsuit. Yesterday, one of their anchors said on air the company told him he couldnt cover the Lawsuit Despite his strong objections. Some of you have been asking why im not covering the dominion Voting Machines lawsuit against fox involving the unproven claims of Election Fraud in 2020. And its absolutely a fair question i believe i should be covering it its a major media story given my role here at fox. But the company has decided that as part of the organization being sued, i cant talk about it or write about it at least for now. I strongly disagree with that decision, but as an employee, i have to abide by it. And if that changes, ill let you know seth so, fox is censoring its own anchors now. Whats next, are they going to replace sean hannity with that microsoft chat box that started going haywire on everyone. What are they gonna do program it to say the word woke over and over again. Welcome to hannity. Tonights top story, woke legos are taking over woke m ms, woke text books, woke potato heads, woke dr. Seuss woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke seth and yet none of these revelations seemed to change anything over at fox theyre still doing their usual thing. Just last week, they gave republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene extensive airtime to explain her unhinged call for a, National Divorce, which she said would separate red states from blue states. I dont see middle ground on a lot of these issues. So, what is the other answer if its not a divorce well, exactly, sean thats the problem and where we are today. And in my life and my world, all of my friends are regular americans. Everyone i talk to is sick and tired and fed up of being bullied by the left, abused by the left, and disrespected by the left and our ideas, our policies, our ways of life have become so far apart that its just coming to that point and do you expect itll happen, last question . Well, i think its something that we should work towards because, you know, its kind of the vision that our Founding Fathers had for america. [ laughter ] seth a National Divorce . A National Divorce was the vision of the Founding Fathers i know because i time traveled in a semiconscious state and talked to them. [ laughter and applause how about this, instead of a compromise this would be the compromise instead of red states getting a divorce from blue States America gets a divorce from greene shes definitely dressed for it. Remember when she showed up at the state of the union screaming at joe biden in a white fur collar like she was demanding sole custody of the maltese . You hand over clarabell right now im the one who fed her organic chow and put bows in her hair the dominion lawsuit is exposed yet again that the people who constantly accuse the rest of the media of lying are themselves the ones who knowingly lie to their viewers they took their cues from among others, a guy who always look like hes about to time travel in a semiconscious state. Seth this has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause seth well be right back with Woody Harrelson, everybody if you have moderate to severe Crohns Disease skyrizi is the first and only il23 inhibitor that can deliver clinical remission and endoscopic improvement. Serious allergic reactions and an increase
