President trump today removed chief strategist steve bannon from the National Security council. [ cheers and applause ] bannon will go back to doing what he does best, drinking vanilla extract in a gas station bathroom. [ laughter ] in an interview with the New York Times, President Trump defended fox news Host Bill Oreilly against allegations of Sexual Harassment. Because thats who you want defending you. [ light laughter ] what, was bill cosby too busy . He seemed like a nice guy who wouldnt do the touching and the thing. [ cheers and applause ] President Trump said today he is working very, very hard to create peace between israel and palestine. Said trump, theyre absolutely my two favorite real housewives. [ light laughter ] according to a new report, amazon is now worth twice as much as walmart. In response, walmart announced that theyre planning to open a second checkout lane. [ laughter and applause ] got to stay competitive. Got to stay competitive, walmart. The nfl and amazon have reached an agreement to allow amazon prime users to stream thursday night Football Games in the coming season. Although adding reviews seems like a bad idea. [ laughter ] according to a new study, male snakes live for a shorter amount of time than female ones, because they become overworked during mating season. That must be rough, you and your bros have all that sex and you cant even high five. [ light laughter ] the cleveland zoo announced today that its rare black rhinoceros is pregnant. They made the announcement right after she confirmed it with a rhinocologist. [ laughter and applause ] okay. Reluctant. And then my dream came true. I got reluctant applause for the rhinocologist joke. [ laughter ] a group of High School Journalists recently caused their new principal to resign after they published an expose revealing her credentials were fake. The students were thrilled until they remembered who the vice principal was. [ laughter and applause ] be careful what you wish for. A couple in california recently had a Harry Potterthemed wedding. And the best man ended up giving one of the bridesmaids hogwarts. [ laughter ] they they were with me for rhinocologist, but that was it. [ laughter ] their like, hey, you cant push us. And finally, as we mentioned earlier, last night pepsi debuted a new commercial and it has everyone talking, lets take a look. We are the chosen we gonna shine out the dark we are the movement this generation seth and a lot of people thought that commercial was tone deaf. In fact, pepsi pulled the ad earlier today due to the backlash, and released an alternate ending. But im not sure its any better, lets take a look. We are the lions we are the chosen were gonna shine out the dark we are the movement this generation [ light laughter ] we are the lions we are the chosen we going to shine out the dark we are the movement this [ laughter ] were going to need backup. [ cheers and applause ] seth i think they nailed it. I think they nailed it. You guys, we have a great show for you tonight. [ cheers and applause ] from tbs Angie Tribeca, Rashida Jones. Our friend Rashida Jones is on the show tonight. I dont know if you guys have been watching, the final season of girls, its been fantastic. Hes been fantastic on it, one of our favorites on the show as well, Andrew Rannels joins us again. [ cheers and applause ] he is a wellknown lawyer, scholar, and author and his latest book electile dysfunction is out now, my friend Alan Dershowitz is on the show. [ cheers and applause ] talk politics with him. Before we get to all that, today President Trump defended fox news Host Bill Oreilly, amid revelations that oreilly has been accused by several women of Sexual Harassment. Of course, its just the latest example of the symbiotic relationship between fox news and trump. For more on this its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] you probably have at least a passing familiarity with fox news. If youve ever visited an elderly relative or gotten drunk at a bar in a small town applebees. [ light laughter ] but before we get to the Sexual Harassment scandal, its important to understand just how influential fox news is right now, particularly with one viewer, the president of the united states. In fact, just this past monday, trump once again started his day by repeating things he had just seen on the network tweeting, such amazing reporting on unmasking and the crooked scheme against us by fox and friends. And fox news from multiple sources, there was electronic surveillance of trump and people close to trump, this is unprecedented, fbi. [ light laughter ] he actually tagged the fbi in his tweet. Its only a matter of time before trump started conducting diplomacy via yelp. [ light laughter ] north korea, very crazy, bad hair, four stars. [ laughter ] but of course it would make sense that trump would trust fox and friends since they routinely give him sycophantic coverage. Like when they interviewed him in february and spent part of it taking a white house tour. They even got to see in trumps words, a surprise guest. Got a nice place. Its a good place. Do you know where youre going yet . I do, i really have it pretty well figured out. Were actually going to make a trip downstairs and you may have a surprise downstairs. I wonder whos in here. Lets see whos in here. Well never figure this out. So this is a room where i believe youre going to find the first lady. Oh, hello, first lady. Hi. Hello, how are you . How are you . What are you up to . Just working. Seth just working. [ laughter ] on an escape tunnel. [ laughter ] so thats basically [ cheers and applause ] basically trumps relationship with fox news in a nutshell. They give him glowing, unquestioning coverage. And in return, he gives them unparalleled access. And theyll go to absurd lengths to defend him. Like on friday, when fox host eric bolling tried to compare president obamas First Quarter in office, which was dominated by the financial crisis, to President Trumps First Quarter. A comparison so dumb, even his fellow panelists started laughing at him. The First Quarter in the books yesterday or today, right . Last day of the quarter. So i did a little bit of a a little scorecard going comparing the Trump Administration to obama. One quarter in. Overconfidence. Thats not fair look at these numbers. Oh, thats not fair. [ talking over each other ] now take it full screen again. [ talking over each other ] average home price, oh my gosh. So unfair. Its not even close, 390,000 versus 258 its essentially all from obama. Seth you know, id even argue trumps a better president than george washington, just take a look. [ laughter ] washington had 16 states, trump has 50. [ cheers and applause ] washington had wooden teeth, trumps are real. And while washington never told a lie, trump has told all of them. [ cheers and applause ] suck it, george. And with that kind of glowing coverage, trump often goes out of his way to advertise for fox news shows like he did last week when he tweeted, watch fox and friends now on podesta and russia, and watch judge jeanine on fox news tonight at 9 00 p. M. The president literally just recommends tv shows now. Our police are doing a fantastic job tonight on an allnew blue bloods. [ laughter ] instead of a bible trump should have been sworn in on a tv guide. [ light laughter ] so fox is basically the closest thing we have to state tv. In fact, the relationship between trump and fox news has turned into something of a Mutual Appreciation Society where they heap praise on one another. At one point trump praised fox and friends and then that clip was played on fox and friends where it blew steve doocys mind. Fox and friends in the morning . Theyre very honorable people. [ light laughter ] wow. What do you think about that . [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] seth it was like steve doocy did a giant bong rip right before watching that clip. [ laughter ] what do you think of that . Now to be fair, there are a few fox news anchors who covered the Trump Administration skeptically and subjected his team to rigorous interviews, like chris wallace, Shepard Smith and others. But of course, trump doesnt like to quote those guys in his twitter feed. Instead, he prefers people like the fox and friends and of course, one of his favorite sources, bill oreilly. In fact, you might remember that when trump tweeted out of nowhere in january, that he might send the feds to chicago, it had been uttered nearly verbatim an hour earlier by oreilly. And then of course, there was the time trump saw a fox news segment about sweden and suggested there had been a terrorist incident there, even though there was not. Oreilly covered the incident by interviewing a guest named nils bildt, whom oreilly identified as a swedish defensive National Security adviser. Theres just one problem, it turns out that guy has not lived in sweden for a very long time and no one within the swedish Security Community seems to know him. [ light laughter ] it was almost as embarrassing as the time oreilly thought he was interviewing swedens prime minister. People who are raised in sweden feel safe, that is what youre saying . [ imitating swedish accent ] [ laughter ] seth its an excellent point. Oreillys routinely defended trump, even when trump has done the indefensible. Like during the campaign, when oreilly declined to play parts of the infamous access hollywood tape, on which trump brags about committing Sexual Assault, dismissing it as mere crude guy talk. 2005, donald trump was doing a segment with access hollywood, he was speaking with the entertainment reporter billy bush privately about women. The Washington Post somehow acquired that audiotape. Im not going to play too much of it because its crude guy talk. Seth thats right, crude guy talk. Its the same reason im not going to play this bill oreilly clip. Well do it live [ bleep ] it. [ laughter ] do it live i can ill write it, and it well do it live [ bleep ] thing sucks. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] seth what happened . Mixup in the booth. Hey, well, when theres a mixup in the booth i say thats cool, dudes. And if it seemed outrageous to you at the time that oreilly would try to dismiss trumps apparent Sexual Assault confession as crude guy talk, it might make a little more sense now after the news that broke over the weekend. Less than one year after a Sexual Harassment scandal brought down its chairman and ceo, fox news is facing more explosive accusations. This time surrounding primetime heavyweight bill oreilly. The New York Times reports five women have now received payouts from oreilly or fox news, since 2004, totaling 13 million. After reports of Sexual Harassment or other inappropriate behavior from bill oreilly, when you read the details, five women, paid out 13 million. How does this man still have a job . Seth five women, 13 million. Thoughts, steve . Wow. [ laughter ] seth so far fox news has not taken oreilly off the air, but that could change soon because now, that these settlements are public the news is starting to hit fox news where they care most, their wallet. The backlash continues today for one of the most outspoken hosts on television. More than 20 major advertisers now pulling their spots from the oreilly factor. Glaxis, bayer, glaxosmithkline are some of the latest companies to pull commercials from the program. Mercedesbenz, bmw, hyundai have all announced theyre pulling ads from oreillys show. Seth soon the only advertisers left on his show are going to be ivanka trumps clothing line and Steve Bannons skin worsener. [ laughter ] and yet in spite of all of this, youll never guess who came to oreillys defense today, donald trump. Trump told the New York Times, personally, i think he shouldnt have settled, because you should have taken it all the way. I dont think bill did anything wrong. Of course, not settling and taking it all the way was what got oreilly in trouble in the first place. [ light laughter ] now of course, this is not an isolated incident. Oreillys former boss roger ailes, was ousted after a Sexual Harassment scandal. And even after that, oreilly was a vocal defender of fox news. In fact, last year after megyn kelly wrote a book discussing the ailes scandal, oreilly was asked about it on cbs and became so irate, it freaked out the host of the show. Youre not interested in Sexual Harassment . Im not interested in basically litigating something that is finished that makes my network look bad. Okay . Im not interested in making my network look bad. At all. That doesnt interest me one bit. Ive got a kids book that i want millions of kids to look at. Thats what im interested in, not making my network look bad. But if your network is affected by it excuse me, i feel a little threatened here. All right. Are you okay . [ laughter ] seth are you okay . Because youre acting like a [ bleep ] lunatic. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] also, bill oreilly had a Childrens Book . [ laughter ] what was it called, fox and sox and nothing else . [ laughter ] [ audience ohs ] ailes reportedly created a culture of intimidation and retaliation at fox news. A culture fueled by paranoia and suspicion. In fact, ailes was reportedly so paranoid, that he told many people at fox the clintons have tried to assassinate him. Ailes said hes been trained by the cia. Cia . The Culinary Institute of america . [ laughter ] because dude, you dont exactly look like jason bourne, you look like jabba the hutt ate jason bourne. [ laughter and applause ] so, this is the network this is the network that the president relies on for information. A network with an archaic culture of Sexual Harassment, fear, and intimidation, that also serves with a few exceptions as his propaganda arm, or as steve doocy might put it wow. [ light laughter ] seth this has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] well be right back with our friend Rashida Jones, everybody [ cheers and applause ] its an important question you ask, but one i think with a simple answer. We have this need to peek over our neighbors fence. And once we do, we see wonder waiting. Every step you take, narrows the influence of narrow minds.
