[ laughter ] during a press conference this afternoon, President Trump said that his administration is getting things done at a recordsetting pace. For example, most president s take four years to finish a term and it looks like trumps gonna get it done in like eight months. [ cheers and applause ] so [ laughter ] youre out the Justice Department yesterday appointed former fbi director Robert Mueller as special council to oversee the investigation into trump and russia. Im gonna get to the bottom of this. Said donald trump to a pint of haagen dazs. [ laughter ] everybody, calling me a liar. Im not a liar. Theyre liars, and i dont like [ laughter ] Country Singer toby keith will reportedly perform in saudi arabia on saturday, for President Trumps first foreign trip. Youre having toby keith perform for muslims . [ laughter ] thats like having betsy devos give the commencement speech at a historically black oh, okay. I see what you are doing. [ audience groans ] [ applause ] i see what youre doing. You hate everything. Rapper a ap rocky had 1. 5 Million Dollars worth of jewelry stolen from his home in los angeles earlier this week. Well, heres a free tip, stop spelling your name with a dollar sign. [ laughter ] thats like having the license plate i love cocaine and being surprised when the cops pull you over. [ applause ] dont be surprised. Why do you have so many letters in your license plate . And finally, a man from idaho was recently rushed to the hospital after a Fidget Spinner toy became lodged in his anus. [ laughter ] but doctors sent the man home untreated since thats where those belong. [ laughter and applause ] ladies and gentlemen, we have a fantastic show for you tonig such great shows as transparent and arrested avaiable now. Favorites is bacon another friend of ours whos back is starring iirtye ancing, Debra Messing. [ cheers andppnight tonight. And i dont know i dont know New York Times podcast the daily. R dathere have been f a special council to oversee the russian inigading out on his first foreign trip as president under a cloud of suspicion. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applaus scandals have been unfolding errica precedent everyone seems to be us to be inadequate in describing ho itjust another scandal, unfortunately continues every only its now accelerated. Watergate took many months and this thing seeo seth yeah, this isnt watergate, its the watergate exs. [ ughter ] in the trump era, every ho in fact, time now works for us trump. 1. 5 million hours. [ ee all of this, of course, came to a head yesterday with the appointment of a special council. A special independent council has been named to head up the investigation of the trump administration, and russian interference with the u. S. Election. The department naming former fbi chief Robert Mueller as special council, the decision a bow to the growing pressure from capitol hill, after the president s firing of fbi director james comey, who was leading his own russia investigation. And the cascade of stunning developments this week that have followed. Up until today, President Donald Trump has had the ability to control almost every news cycle. From this day forward, he no longer has control. And instead, if you will, of being the hunter, he becomes the hunted. Seth yeah, but im not sure trump was much of a hunter before this. His only prey came in buckets. [ laughter ] shh, if you move too fast, you scare them off. [ laughter ] today trump took questions for the first time on the appointment of a special council during a press conference with the president of colombia. But even when he was trying to focus on topics other than the russia investigation, he didnt seem very sure of himself, like when he discussed the two countries joint efforts to end the production of coca from which cocaine is made. But he kept mispronouncing it. Recently we have seen an alarmed, and i mean really a very highly alarmed and alarming trend. Last year colombia cocoa cultivation and cocaine production rch today i affirm the o to target and eliminate drug ato [ sh cocoa . [ light laughter ] [ laughter ] now, in his role as special council, mueller will have broad authority. And hes gonna need it because there is a lot to look into, take, for example, trumps disgraced former National Security advisor Michael Flynn. And lets face it, the guy he just looks shady. Flynn looks like a guy who only. Shame about those missing hikers. Police got any leads yet . [ laughter ] as you may know, flynn is under fbi investigation for his ties to russia. But hes also under investigation for taking secret payments from turkey without registering as a foreign agent. Which youre required to do, by law. And last night, we got yet another bombshell, about what the trump team knew with regard to flynn and when they knew it. The New York Times reporting Michael Flynn told President Trumps Transition Team weeks before the inauguration that he was under federal investigation for secretly working as a paid lobbyist for turkey during the campaign. Despite the warning mr. Trump made flynn his National Security adviser. Seth so they hired someone who was under active fbi investigation for taking secret payments from a Foreign Government as the National Security adviser. Thats like hiring a babysitter who is still wearing one handcuff. [ laughter ] so just think about this for a second, donald trump and his associates are facing multiple fbi investigations over foreign payments and possible collusion with a Foreign Government. As well as investigations in the house and senate and now a special council. I just wish someone had warned us about the disastrous consequences of a president who would be under investigation while in office. The fbi now has multiple open criminal investigations into hillary clinton. And now shes gonna run the coutnry. Shell be under investigation for years, shell be with trials. I mean, we went through it with him with the impeachment and the lies. Arent we tired of this stuff . This election will determine whether we remain a free country in the truest sense of the word or we become a corrupt Banana Republic controlled by large donors and Foreign Governments. This is collusion and corruption of the highest order and it is one more reason why i ask, my attorney general, i will ask. To appoint a special prosecutor. [ laughter and applause ] seth its literally its literally the only Campaign Promise hes actually kept. [ cheers and applause ] its almost like donald trump is a time traveler sent to warn us about himself. [ laughter ] oh, god, im too late. [ laughter ] now the timing of all this chaos cannot be worse for trump because on friday he sets out for his first foreign trip to europe and the middle east. And aides were hoping it would represent a chance to reboot his presidency. Instead with all the turmoil going on, trump seems less than excited about the trip. According to times trump, a confirmed homebody, has expressed dread about the trip asking aides whether it can be shortened to five days, from nine. So hes basically a kid who doesnt want to go to summer camp. [ laughter ] but what if they dont have the snacks i like . [ laughter ] and he doesnt seem to want to do much preparation for the trip either. According to a report in reuters yesterday conversations with some officials who have briefed trump and others who are aware of how he abosrbs information, portray a president with a short attention span. [ laughter ] he likes single page memos and y parahsstuff to keep him interes. Soon theyre gonna have to start writing his Intelligence Briefings on a mirror. [ laughter and applause ] in fact, trumps aides arent the only ones concerned about trumps ability to stay focused. During this trip, trump will meet with leaders of nato, our most important military alliance. And according to a recent report, nato is scrambling to taylor its upcoming meeting to avoid taxing President Donald Trumps notoriously short attention span. The alliance is telling heads of state to limit talks to two to four minutes. [ laughter ] in fact, theyre presenting the information to trump on a placemat. [ laughter and applause ] so as he heads out, on his trip to meet the leaders of foreign nations, trump takes with him a cloud of suspicion and questions about his competence. The constant drum beat of scandal and chaos coming from this whitehouse is exhausting. Or to put it another way. Arent we tired of this stuff . [ laughter ] seth yeah, that sounds about right. This has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] well be back with jeffrey tambor, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] the best tour of italy is the one you create at olive garden.
