WCAU Late Night With Seth Meyers June 20, 2017

To keep saying stuff this dumb in front of other world leaders, could you at least wear a big bandage on your head . [ light laughter ] you know, so it seems like theres a reason. [ cheers and applause ] oh, your president has suffered an injury, that explains it. Well come back later. Former fbi director james comey was reportedly seen dancing this weekend at a wedding in washington, d. C. Got to say, im impressed. If i had read that many of Anthony Weiners emails, i dont think id ever dance again. [ light laughter ] people are reportedly sending hate mail to the wrong Shakespeare Companies across the country, blaming them for the new york public theaters controversial production of julius caesar. While some people are even further off base. [ laughter and applause ] well, the big day finally arrived. Beyonce gave birth to twins this weekend. [ cheers and applause ] and yeah. So happy. But this this is surprising. Their names are kevin and linda. [ light laughter ] according to a new survey, about 1 in 5 dads said they feel guilty about not being present enough with their children. Then again, 1 out of 5 dads is all they could find. [ laughter and applause ] two australian farmers recently created a kind of vodka made from carrots. Its the best thing thats ever happened to rabid bachelorette parties. [ light laughter ] a canadian family was reunited with their pet cat last week after he went missing over ten years ago. That story again, a canadian family has gullible children. [ laughter ] hey look whos back, its patches and hes still a kitten, thats crazy you better start growing now that youre back a georgia teen was recently arrested for shoplifting condoms from target. And then to teach him a lesson, his dad made him use the entire pack. [ light laughter ] hey, patches is back dont be upset patches is back twitter ran its secondever tv commercial tonight, though they dont seem to be working. [ laughter and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] and finally, a company in japan has developed its own line of smart speakers, which are speakers shaped like chickens. For reference this is what a chicken speaker looks like. [ laughter and applause ] we have got a great show for you tonight. Shes the star of the critically acclaimed new drama, the beguiled, Kirsten Dunst is here tonight, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] from nbcs the carmichael show, Jerrod Carmichael is back on the show. So happy to talk to him again. [ cheers and applause ] and very excited, one of my favorites, hes going to be here for the next two nights doing music for us. Jeff tweedy is here, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] so, youre going to have a good night. Before we get to that, President Trump and his supporters are lashing out over the special counsel investigation into his teams ties to russia. And strangely trump and his own lawyer cant seem to agree on whether hes actually being investigated. For more on this its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth trumps presidency has obviously been consumed by the russia scandal. So on friday, he seemed positively giddy to get out of d. C. And travel to florida where he announced new executive action rolling back president obamas policies on cuba. Because of course, we all remember those forgotten men and women of the working class who flocked to trump rallies and enthusiastically chanted their famous slogan, please make it harder for us to go to cuba. [ laughter ] nonetheless, trump seemed excited to be talking about anything other than the investigation consuming his administration. And that excitement showed in the way he pronounced little havana. I am so thrilled to be back here with all of my friends in little havannah [ laughter ] i want to thank miami, i want to thank little havannah ah, havannah, we love do we love it . [ laughter ] seth are you the president or a miami cabaret owner . Little havannah, do we have any now are you ready for the Buena Vista Social Club . [ applause ] trump was clearly thrilled to be among supporters in florida and not only because they were supporters but because they gave trump one thing hes been dropping hints about all week. Finally someone sang happy birthday to this 71yearold man. Happy birthday and thank you, dont remind me. [ laughter and applause ] happy birthday to you happy birthday to you thank you. Seth look at how happy he is. [ light laughter ] if he could pass any law he wanted, it would be for double birthdays. I think we can get through the next four years unscathed if we just sing happy birthday to him every morning. Im going to bomb north oh wait, hold on, theyre singing happy birthday. [ laughter and applause ] of course trumps agenda has been largely stymied by the constant russia revelations. In fact hes now so desperate for accomplishments hes bragging about things the government did over a century ago. Like today when he met with the president of panama and touted the panama canal, which the u. S. Finished building in 1914, leaving the president of panama, somewhat bewildered. Watch what he says under his breath. We have many things to discuss. Were going to spend quite a bit of time today. The panama canal is doing quite well. I think we did a good job building it, right . Yeah. A very good job. 100 years ago, yeah. [ laughter and applause ] seth 100 years ago, yeah. Did you not get my thank you card . Theres a good chance someone on trumps team told him we just finished building it. And in fact, i did most of the digging myself. See, there we go, just like that, here i go. Canal done. [ laughter ] of course, trump is desperate to talk about anything other than the investigation, which has escalated so quickly that it seems like almost everyone around trump is lawyering up. The president got a lawyer, the Vice President just got a lawyer yesterday, the president s own lawyer, outside lawyer, michael cohen, just got a lawyer. Donald trumps lawyer has gotten a lawyer. Seth things are so bad, trumps lawyers have their own lawyers now. Hes got layers and layers of lawyers. And you need layers of lawyers when youre a liar. In fact [ cheers and applause ] in fact, the investigation the investigation seems to be intensifying so rapidly that its now reportedly widening to include trumps family with the Washington Post reporting the special counsel is investigating Jared Kushners business dealings. Now kushner has been such a secretive presence in the white house, best known for silently lurking behind trump at meetings, that the administration apparently made the decision to get him in front of the cameras during a meeting with texio today. And for most people this is the first time they got to hear what kushners voice sounded like. Would it be a quiet rasputinlike whisper . Or a darker worm tonguelike growl . Just how intimidating is washingtons newest power player . Today weve assembled a very Impressive Group of leaders from the private sector. This is Technology Week here at the white house. Together we have set Ambitious Goals and empowered interagency teams to tackle our objectives. Its working and its very exciting. Seth so thats the mastermind who tried to set up a secret back channel with the russians . Yeah, hi, my fatherinlaw wants to talk with vladimir putin, he wants a back channel. [ laughter and applause ] he wants to talk so the fbi cant listen to the conversation. [ laughter ] he looks like he should be standing behind a podium made from cardboard. [ light laughter ] his title says Senior Advisor to the president , but his voice says senior at clairmont high school. [ light laughter ] the investigation seems to be moving quickly and trump himself has reportedly become so transfixed by the investigation that he often insists out of nowhere that he did nothing wrong. According to politico, during conversations with associates and allies he has sometimes, without prompting, injected im not under investigation. [ light laughter ] you know, like innocent people do. This is a great day. What you say we go back to my place . Im not a murderer. [ laughter and applause ] now with his legal issues, trumps staff has been trying to keep him from saying crazy things online. After it was reported last week that trump is now under personally investigating for obstruction of justice, a Senior Administration official was asked what the white house game plan would be and replied, keep him away from twitter, dear god, keep him away from twitter. [ laughter and applause ] trumps aides are starting to sound like frontier farmers praying for rain. Oh please, dear god, we need this bolly something awful of course that plan did not work because on friday trump had another outburst on twitter. Now remember, trump eventually admitted that he fired former fbi director james comey because of the russia investigation. But at first his team claims the move was based on a recommendation from Deputy Attorney general rod rosenstein. The same guy who later appointed special counsel robert mueller. Of course trump ignored all that back story and tweeted on friday, i am being investigated for firing the fbi director by the man who told me to fire the fbi director, witch hunt. Yeah, trumps being investigated by the guy who decided to fire comey. Who was that guy anyway . I was going to fire comey. My decision. Seth oh, my god. So, hes both the hunted and the hunter. [ cheers and applause ] witch hunt but at the very least, this tweet finally gives some clarity. The president has now confirmed publicly that hes under investigation. And if theres one thing the Trump White House has been consistent on until now, its that the president s tweets need no explanation. The president s tweets speak for themselves. The president s tweets speaks very clearly for itself. The president s tweets stand for themselves. The tweet speaks for itself. The tweet speaks for itself. His tweets do speak for themselves. Seth so weve been told the president s tweets speak for themselves and they should, they are the president s words written by the president with no interference from anyone else. If an official white house statement is milk at a grocery store, Donald Trumps twitter feed is the actual udder. And i imagine he tweets with the forcefulness of someone milking a cow. I am under investigation. Send. [ laughter and applause ] and yet a member of trumps legal team, jay sekulow made the rounds on the sunday shows and tried to act if the president had not said what he said, resulting in the bizarre spectacle of news anchors trying to square sekulows claim that the president is not under investigation with trumps own tweet that he is under investigation. First up, jake tapper should we take that tweet from the president as confirmation that the president is under investigation . Let me be clear, the president s not under investigation. So the president said, i am under investigation, even though he isnt under investigation . The president is not under investigation. The president issued that tweet, that social media statement, based on a fake report, a report with no documented sources, from the Washington Post. Seth look at tappers face. [ laughter and applause ] he looks like hes staring at one of those magic eye posters. I dont see a sailboat. [ light laughter ] and then there was fox news anchor, Chris Wallace who was baffled when sekulow admitted that the president is under investigation only to immediately contradict himself. The president has not been notified by anyone that hes under investigation. So hes being investigated for taking the action that the attorney general, Deputy Attorney general, recommended him to take first of all, youve now said that he is being investigated after saying that no. You just said, sir you said he is being investigated and its not chris he is wait a minute, wait a minute. Jay, you dont know whether hes under no one has been notified that he is you dont know whether hes under investigation or not the president cant be indicted under the constitution for the activities alleged in Something Like this, of course not. Why is that . Because theres not an investigation. And theres well, you dont know whether theres oh, boy, this is weird. [ laughter and applause ] seth i dont know about you guys, but i hate it when guys with the same haircut and glasses fight. Hes being investigated. So hes under investigation . Stop putting words in my mouth so everyone around trump is lawyering up. His staff cant stop him from freaking out on twitter and he cant seem to agree with his own legal team about whether hes under investigation. D. C. May not be much fun for trump right now, but at least hell always have havannah [ cheers and applause ] seth this has been a closer look.
