[ light laughter ] he added he added that sometimes gaetz would even have a woman with him [ laughter ] after the New York Times reported yesterday that federal prosecutors are investigating his drinking habits, Rudy Giuliani told reporters, quote, i do not have an alcohol problem. I have never had an alcohol problem. Rudy, man, theyre giving you a perfect excuse take the offramp. [ laughter ] do you really want people to think you helped an insurrectionist, went to the wrong four seasons, leaked hair dye, and wore these shorts while you were stone cold sober . [ laughter ] after it was reported, they put, if you wear those shorts, thats a drunk driving test [ laughter ] they pull you over and they go, do you want to put these on . If youre like, yeah, ill put them on, theyre like, get in the car. After it was reported that prosecutors are investigating his drinking habits, Rudy Giuliani told reporters, quote, if i have an alcohol problem, i should be in the guinness book of world records. but it turns out he already is [ laughter ] russian president Vladimir Putin turns 71 on saturday hes going to celebrate by pushing a cake off a balcony [ laughter ] you guys must love cake.

[ laughter ] its family trips, weve been interviewing celebrities about the kind of trips they took when they were kids check it out, its a lot of fun. Amy poehler, pete davidson, colin jost, john oliver. Cast of thousands. Weve enjoyed doing it we hope you enjoy listening to it moving along, everybody, republicans are each others throats after a small group of hardliners ousted former House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy and now just to add more kindling to the fire, donald trump is reportedly considering flying to the capitol next week, where he might even pitch himself as candidate for speaker. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause donald trump, the far and away front runner for the republican nomination for president in 2024 spent most of the week in a manhattan courthouse on trial for fraud. In fact, he claimed he couldnt leave, even though he was not required to be there the corrupt attorney general sued me for fraud. Then they found out they had no case and they have no case. And today if you read the new york law journal, they basically say they have no case against trump. But im here, stuck here, and i cant campaign i would rather be right now in iowa id rather be in new hampshire, South Carolina, or ohio, or a lot of other places, but im stuck here seth he sounds like every single married couple during lockdown id rather be in iowa, new hampshire, South Carolina or ohio right here. But im stuck here so, let me just sit here and drink this entire bottle of merlot while i watch tiger king for the third time. [ laughter ] again, not even true, he was not stuck there, he wasnt even required to be there and yesterday, he left and flew back to florida. He chose to show up so he could say ridiculous bull [ bleep like when he claimed the judge in the case undervalued his florida residence, maralago. Hes been given this information thats now been proven to be false such as maralago in palm beach, florida being worth 18 million when in fact, its much closer to 1. 5 billion. Seth no one believes your chintzy florida swamp hotel is worth more than the Global Box Office for barbie. [ laughter ] your [ bleep ] barbie nightmare house. [ laughter ] this place, the hotel that looks like the [ bleep ] castle you put in a Goldfish Bowl so he has something to look at while he eats [ applause ] this thing looks like the first house you buy when you get drafted by the miami heat. [ laughter ] remember that photo from the federal indictment of all those boxes of classified documents in his bathroom that doesnt look like a billion dollar property. It looks like something you would see on horders. Oh, god oh, it stinks in here. Well, the toilet doesnt flush so ive been using the boxes. [ laughter ] dont open them up. Its classified. [ laughter ] so, the gops front runner for president is facing four indictments and a fraud trial, probably going to get kicked off zillow and on top of that, they currently dont even have a speaker of the house they ousted Kevin Mccarthy and then basically went on vacation. The interim speaker, a guy named patrick mchenry, a mccarthy ally, gavelled the house into recess, and as you can see, he was super pissed about it. The chair declares the house of recess subject to the call of the chair. [ laughter ] seth you do not expect that energy from a bow tie guy. [ laughter ] its like a dad trying to get the last piece of ikea furniture to fit goddamn it the wont fit into the so they adjourned the house and the reason they did that apparently was the tensions were so high over the vote to oust mccarthy, they were genuinely afraid there would be physical fighting if they didnt get the hell out of there. Do you agree with congressman mchenrys decision, hes the temporary speaker of the speaker pro tem to put a pause on the week to let tensions settle . Jake, ill be really candid i think if we had stayed together in the meeting last night, i think that you would have seen fists thrown and im not being dramatic when i say that there is a lot of raw emotions right now i think it was best to let folks go back home, decompress a little bit, and then come back together seth a week, only a week if someone at work did this in the middle of a meeting, id say, i think we feed had to take five [ laughter ] months ill see you guys in march [ laughter ] remember, this is the same gop caucus that already had a near fistfight on the floor of the house the first time they had to pick a speaker back in january you may recall that it took 15 votes the last time to elect mccarthy with the same group of hard liners holding out and demanding concessions. And as it dragged on, things got so bad, members of congress were lunging at each other, including one that had to be held back by his face its one thing to be held back by your arms or shoulders, but your face. [ laughter ] thats not how you hold back a congressman. Thats how you grab a cat thats about to barf on a white rug [ laughter ] i really doubt a week is enough time for everyone to chill out because they seemed really mad they same guy you just saw there garret graves was on the house floor tuesday yelling about the fact that his colleague matt gaetz, who instigated the push to bring down mccarthy was fundraising off the whole thing. I keep wondering what is going on are we redefining what conservative is . Whats going on in this country today . Whats going on in this body and all of a sudden, my phone keeps sending Text Messages. [ light laughter ] Text Messages saying, hey, give me money oh, look at that oh, look, give me money. I filed the motion to vacate. Using official actions, official actions, to raise money. Its disgusting. Its whats disgusting about washington seth even worse, during his speech, he got this text message. [ laughter ] and graves isnt the only one upset, throwing a minitantrum over the gop megatantrum in fact, the gop infighting has gotten so intense and so impersonal that republicans are starting to make salacious allegations about each other on television for example, heres a gop senator named Markwayne Mullin talking about matt gaetzs alleged gross behavior on cnn. Youve got to think about this guy. This is the guy that the media didnt give the time of day to after he was accused of sleeping with an underaged girl theres a reason why no one in the conference came and defended him because we had all seen the videos he was showing on the house floor that all of us had walked away of the girls that he had slept with he bragged about how he would crush e. D. Medicine and chase it with Energy Drinks so he could go all night seth not only does matt gaetz definitely look like the spokesman for an e. D. Medicineinfused energy drink, his name even has a z that you know is on the can [ laughter ] so he took e. D. Meds and chased it with an energy drink. That sounds like something Rudy Giuliani would do by accident boss, these tick tacks dont taste very minty uhoh. Everyone give me three inches of space. [ laughter ] but heres the especially infuriating thing. When this small band of gop hardliners voted to oust mccarthy, mccarthy could have, if he really wanted to keep his job, reached out to democrats to try to win their support you know, the same way he made concessions to the hardliners in his own caucus to get the job in the first place. He didnt do that. He dissed democrats, he told them to f off. So democrats voted against mccarthy for extremely obvious reasons and yet republicans have the gau to blame democrats for not voting for mccarthy and bailing them out i think today was a political decision by the democrats. Democrats just removed the republican speaker democrats basically turned on republicans and ousted Kevin Mccarthy every one of the democrats voted against mccarthy you had eight republicans that came together yesterday with 208 democrats, so effectively, this was a democrat eviction of Speaker Mccarthy seth are you out of your [ bleep minds . Democrats are in the minority. You constantly [ bleep ] on them, most of you claim they stole the election, but now you want them to bail you out while you accuse each other of downing viagra like pez and threaten to beat the [ bleep ] out of each other . [ light laughter ] heres a thought exercise. Lets imagine a world where the shoe was on the other foot and eight democrats were threatening to oust nancy pelosi you think republicans would come galloping in to vote for her and keep her as speaker for the good of the country in order to think that, youd have to be high on e. D. Meds and red bull and ready to bang harder than this guy [ bang ] [ laughter ] and, as if the gop conference couldnt become any more of a cluster [ bleep ], some republicans are floating the possibility of making trump the speaker since technically, it doesnt have to be a member of congress and when he was asked about it this week, he just didnt dismiss it out of hand a lot of people have been calling me about speaker all i can say is well do whatevers best for the country and for the Republican Party would you take the job . We have some great people we have some great, great people would you take the job . A lot of people have asked me about it but im leading by, like, 50 points for president. My focus is totally on that. If i can help them during the process, i would do it seth yes, tensions are high and republicans are near fisticuffs, so naturally, the person to calm things down is donald trump thats like trying to sooth a wild stallion with e. D. Medicine [ laughter ] seth the Republican Party is such a mess. Theyre asking for help from a guy whos in court for fraud because no one else is willing to help them out the gop is like a guy whos so desperate for a ride to the airport, he calls a friend whos under house arrest yeah, sure, i can give you a ride, but when my ankle bracelet goes off, youve got to run. [ laughter ] and now, its being reported that trump is planning to fly to d. C. Next week for the speaker election to help figure things out, which i am sure will go smoothly now to some breaking news we just got this donald trump may be about to weigh right into the middle of the fight over the next speaker of the house let me tell you a little bit about what we know this is being considered by trump. He has not been back to the capitol since before january 6th, but hes thinking about coming apparently maybe he thinks that he can somehow help unify the party at this time seth is it really a smart idea to go back to the capitol after what trump did on january 6th . I mean, im no legal expert, but if hed been indicted, im not sure youre supposed to go back to the scene of the crime. Hes like the guy that gets busted on to catch a predator, then goes to the same house a second time. Whoa, chris hanson again. What are the odds, man . What do you have in the bag . Same thing as last time mikes hard lemonade and twizzlers. [ laughter ] but apparently, trump might not just be going back to help he might be going to take the job himself. Political reporters state that trump is open to pitching himself as a speaker candidate according to a republican familiar with internal discussions. You know what, good. Let trump have a job that sucks where half the people in the room hate his guts and he cant do [ bleep ] hell be miserable by day two. Its all boring procedure and filing legislation and saying mindnumbing [ bleep ] like the gentleman from South Carolina is recognized he would hate it so much, hell actually want to go to prison. Screw it. Im pleading guilty. Ive got to get the hell out of here i hate cspan. [ laughter ] the gop front runner for president is facing four indictments and a fraud trial. They dont have a speaker and theyre threatening to physically fight each other. And now, trump is thinking of flying in to make things even more insane. The only way im going to be able to keep up with all this news is if i crush e. D. Medicine and chase it with Energy Drinks. Seth this has been a closer look.
