[ laughter ] and finally, new York Governor Andrew Cuomo this week announced a 1 million reward for anyone who can find a solution to new york citys subway delays. He then accidentally dropped the money on the tracks where it caught fire and shut down the d train. [ laughter and applause ] ladies and gentlemen, we have a great show for you tonight. He is one of the all time greats. You know him from netlixs house of cards and a million other things. Kevin spacey is here tonight. [ cheers and applause ] she is the star of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and a total delight, ellie kemper is back on the show. [ cheers and applause ] and we are joined tonight by the chair of the Democratic National committee, tom perez is joining us to talk about where that party is going. Before we get to all that, the evidence continues to mount that President Trump actively tried to obstruct justice in the russia investigation but even as trump scandals pile up, he is still capable of doing immense damage as we saw when trump released his first full budget yesterday. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth trump has been on his nine day trip to europe and the middle east. And on wednesday he stopped by the vatican to completely bum out the pope. [ light laughter ] look at this picture. The pope may be catholic but that face is saying, oy, gevalt, what a schmuck. [ laughter ] but even when trump is out of the country, he cant seem to escape the ongoing russia investigation. In fact, things have gotten so bad trump is now starting to lawyer up. Breaking tonight, cnn confirms that President Trump is expected to hire a personal lawyer outside of his White House Legal Team to represent him in the russia investigation. Seth thats right. Trump hired a personal lawyer and based on how much cable tv he watches, i wouldnt be surprised if he went with cellino and barnes. [ laughter ] what . Theyre not together anymore . Fine, get me suits. [ laughter and applause ] in particular, we keep getting more and more evidence that trump actively tried to obstruct justice in the russia investigation. Remember, first it was reported that he asked fbi director james comey for a loyalty pledge as if he were don corleone. When in fact, hes dumb corleone. Ill make him an offer he cant accept. [ light laughter ] comey refused that and also refused to drop his investigation into Michael Flynn so trump fired him. And on monday, we learned that comey wasnt the only high ranking official that trump tried continue to influence. The other bombshell report in the washington post. President trump asked two of the nations top intelligence officials in march to help him push back against an fbi investigation into possible coordination between his campaign and the russian government. Trump made separate appeals to the director of National Intelligence daniel coats and to admiral michael s. Rogers, the director of the National Security agency, urging them to publicly deny the existence of any evidence of collusion. Seth now we know about trumps interactions with comey. Because comey wrote detailed memos about all of his conversations with the president. So, how do we know about this latest interaction between trump and the nsa director, mike rogers . Well, once again, according to the washington post, trumps conversation with rogers was documented in an internal memo. Trump is so crazy every time he leaves the room people go, damn, i gotta write this [ bleep ] down. [ laughter and applause ] of course trump doesnt write anything down. He can barely write his own name. Look at his signature. [ light laughter ] looks like a failed polygraph test. [ light laughter ] even trumps own hand knows when hes lying. Mexico will pay for the wall. But heres the thing about all this. It is tempting to get excited that trump is under investigation. That some law makers are openly talking about impeachment and that his approval numbers are low and all those things are important and true. But even if somehow there is eventually an impeachment and trump is removed from office that, would take months, possibly even years. And while hes still here, he and republicans in congress could do significant damage. Just yesterday, for example, the Trump White House unveiled his Budget Proposal for next year with the title new foundation for american greatness. And as a general rule, you should trust the thing less the longer its name is. For example, if you were sick, you would rather take penicillin or a handful of dr. Wickershams miracle fizz pills . [ light laughter ] well figure it out. Because the cruelty the budget is going to make you sick. The u. S. Is facing some of the steepest budget cuts in history if approved by congress. The white house is looking to cut 1. 7 trillion out of the social safety net. There are cuts made to the food stamp program, c. H. I. P. , the Childrens Health insurance program. Critics are calling this the reverse robin hood budget because it takes from the poor and gives to the rich. This is only a Taxpayer First budget if youre in the top 1 income earners f youre one of the wealthiest american families, you do great. In fact, under this proposal, you get a tax break. Everybody else gets whacked under this budget. Seth thats right. Youre going to get whacked by dumb corleone. [ light laughter ] tonight you sleep with a fish. Actually, boss, its sleep with the fishes. You know, we throw them in the river. Were not going to have him make sex with the fish . [ light laughter ] i dont know, seems like thats worse. Now its true that a president s proposed budget is essentially just a wish list that will be changed by congress. But still, what someone wishes for tells you a lot about that person. If a 7yearold blows out his birthday candles and then looks around and says, where are the strippers and cocaine . Youre going to know billy might have some issues. [ light laughter ] and in thise case, trump is wishing for some truly savage cuts to Social Security and medicaid, in particular. The budget would cut Social SecurityDisability Insurance by 72 billion along with 610 billion in medicaid cuts. On top of an 880 billion medicaid cut already in the Republican Health care bill. In total trumps budget would medicaid spending nearly in half. Whats espcially infuriating about this is that trump went out of his way repeatedly during the campaign to distance himself from traditional gop policies and promised his voters that he would not under any circumstances cut Social Security or medicaid. Im not going to cut Social Security like every other republican. And im not going to cut medicare or medicaid. I am going to protect and save your Social Security. On may 7th, 2015 he tweeted, i was the first and only potential gop candidate to say there will be no cuts to Social Security, medicare and medicaid. Huckabee copied me. Seth i love that trumps biggest concern was that somebody copied him. Huckabee copied me and also james has been passing very mean notes. [ laughter ] this guy writes everything down. [ light laughter ] this budget lays bare just how much of a fraud Trumps Campaign was. It goes back on virtually everything he promised to the people who voted for him. It also cut safety net programs like food stamps, which would have devastating consequences, especially for People Living in states that voted overwhelmingly for trump. Who is this going to hit politically . Trump supporters. If you look only, for example, at snap, the former food stamps program, a majority of those receiving benefits under the program today, in all of the five midwestern states that tipped the election. Iowa, ohio, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin are noncollege whites. And those are the voters at the very core of the trump coalition. I think the person who would have hated this budget the most is perhaps, donald trump the candidate. Seth thats right. Donald trump the candidate would hate donald trump the president. And you know its a shame those two never met, i can only imagine the things candidate trump would have to say about President Trump. We have a president that cant get anybody to do anything. So he signs, you know, executive orders. We cant have someone in the oval office who doesnt understand the meaning of the words, confidential or classified. [ light laughter ] this is collusion and corruption of the highest order and the world is laughing at us. Theyre laughing at the stupidity of our president. [ laughter and applause ] seth okay. You know what . [ cheers and applause ] all right. Maybe maybe its better those if two dont ever meet, because i gotta be honest, i think they would [ bleep ] hate each other. [ light laughter ] now, how did trump go from promising to protect medicaid to cutting it in half . Well, rather than stand by his campaign promises, he deferred mostly to his budget director, mick mulvaney, a former Tea Party Member of congress and hardline conservative who unlike candidate trump has openly called for drastically reducing the size of the federal government. In fact, when mulvaney unveiled the budget on tuesday, he argued that using tax payer dollars to help poor and working people wasnt compassionate, it was akin to a crime. We look at this budget through the eyes of the people who are actually paying the bills. If i take money from you and i have no intention of ever giving it back, that is not debt. That is theft. Seth yes, theft is one word for it. Another is trump university. That also works. [ light laughter ] and if youre a trump voter and you took his promises on Social Security and medicare seriously, you essentially voted for the opposite of what mulvaney wants. And yet, mulvaney, rather than trump, seems to be making the decisions about what to cut as a wall street journal reporter explained yesterday. He took basically the equivalent of a yellow legal pad with a bunch of proposed cuts into the oval office with showed them to trump. And trump like went through them one by one and said yes, no, yes, no. Seth which is the same way trump decides which of his children get christmas gifts. [ light laughter ] yes. No. Yes. No [ laughter ] but the trump budget proposes trillions in cuts to programs that poor and working people rely on to pay for military spending increases and giant tax cuts. And on top of all that, it doesnt even balance the budget. The Trump Administration claims that it does, but that claim is based, and this is true, on a math error, and not a small one either. Theyre assuming 3 growth for this budget and thats going to pay for getting their budget to balance. But they assumed already that they were going to get that Economic Growth and that thats what was going to pay for their tax cut. So theyre double counting what that growth will be. They seem to have just made a basic math error and that math error adds up to Something Like 2 trillion. Seth they made a 2 trillion math error. I have a feeling math errors are what caused trump to go bankrupt four times. That was a great dinner. Now to leave a tip. Lets see, it was, 200, 20 . Thats 9 million. [ light laughter ] im just kidding. He never left a tip. [ light laughter ] as important and unnerving as the russia investigation is, we cant lose sight of the damage trump can still do as president. This budget is not only cruel, its delusional. It would eviscerate safety net programs that poor and working people rely on just to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest americans. If this budgets passes, the top 1 is gonna look like this. While everyone else is going to look like this. [ light laughter ] this has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] well be right back with kevin spacey, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] ugh, no bars. Oh no, looks like somebody needs a new network. When i got this unlimited plan they told me they were all the same. Theyre not.

Seth please welcome to the show, kevin spacey. [ cheers and applause ] seth how are you . Very well. How are you . Im glad im finally here. Youve been on the air three years. Seth three years. Ive avoided it up until this moment. Seth yeah. [ light laughter ] but i really wanted to i wanted you to have a little rehearsal before i came on. Seth thank you. Right.

Seth yeah. This season five . Congratulations. Thank you, thank you. Seth were picking it up and now your wife, played by the lovely robyn wright is now your running mate. That is correct. Seth so this is the world we live in now. Well, nothing like that could really happen. Seth yeah, i guess. [ light laughter ] well, i guess you now have to really go far afield to find things that cant really happen. No. No, i actually think that whats interesting, is that there are people who watch the show, even that as an example last year, well thats a little crazy. That would never really happen. And then suddenly 18 months later, its like, oh, wait a second. Seth yeah. That actually could happen. Seth yeah. Or, it is happening. Or i think that were scarier than weve ever been before. Seth you know what i like though . Because, i know some people say the shows about politics, there are a lot of wonderful shows about politics. Youself, veep. People say, are these even worth it anymore, because the real things so crazy. But what i like about your show, is when i turn it off, youre not president anymore.
