I read that donald trump is now planning a victory tour, where hes going to visit all the places that helped him get elected. So i guess that means ohio, pennsylvania, florida, and russia. [ cheers and applause ] interesting. This is interesting. A new poll found that Donald Trumps favorability rating is up 8 points since being elected. And hillary said, yeah, i wouldnt trust the polls that much. [ laughter and applause ] trust me. But trump is already busy gearing up for his first term. In fact, i saw today that his Transition Team has received its first briefing from the pentagon. Trump should actually fit in well at the pentagon, since he takes five sides on every issue. [ laughter and applause ] for the war, hes against the war, hasnt heard of the war. This is big, though. It came up that trump is meeting with mitt romney this weekend about a cabinet position. Of course the meeting between trump and romney will take forever because first, theyre gonna talk about their sons. Hows tag . Good, hows don . Good, hows josh . Good, hows barron . Good, hows max . Good, hows [ laughter and applause ] we got to get to some business here. [ applause ] but theres actually a rumor that trump may make mitt romney his secretary of state, which is a big step for trump. Because hes never had a male secretary before.

Jimmy this is kind of nice. President obama held a joint press conference with german chancellor Angela Merkel yesterday, where they both talked about how close that theyve gotten over the past seven years and how theyll miss each other. I think they really meant it too. Take a look. Ive been loving you [ laughter ] too long [ laughter ] to stop now [ laughter and applause ] [ as obama ] jimmy call me maybe. [ laughter ] heres a little celebrity news. Matthew mcconaughey said he gained 45 pounds for his role in the new movie gold by eating pizza, cheeseburgers and beer every night. Real dedication there.

Hes right there in the front there. [ cheers and applause ] [ laughter ] jimmy he looked his hand. I barely grazed the hand. [ laughter ] but he sort of just sat there making me do all the work and i was ready to go out. I was going crazy. I felt bad. I thought, well, who knows, maybe hes not that athletic . You know, maybe thats the thing, he didnt want to go. So, i looked him up. And it turned out not only is he athletic, hes a relief pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. [ laughter and applause ] his name is joe biagini. Im serious. Take a look. This is thats him, yeah.

I think they were shocking to just about everybody, except for one guy with a goatee, who works on team trump. Who about two weeks before the election said, hes got it. Its like some guy that ivanka and jared had hired to work for the Trump Organization in 2 2010, and they shifted him over from working on business, to working on the campaign. Jimmy is it duck dynasty guy . And that he kind of looks like it. A little guy. And, you still got chocolate on you. Jimmy what, i do . [ laughter ] and they shifted him over. And he was the one man in america who completely saw it coming. Jimmy really . Yep. So, yes, we were all shocked. Were sitting out there on the set, and you get the exit polls at 5 00 p. M. In the evening and they said looks good for hillary, and you know, well probably be able to call it by 11 00. And then by about 9 00 that evening, it was like, hmm . I see something else. Jimmy yeah, well you talk about these about the debates and everything in the book. With all these great stories. The one of my favorite moments of the election was you and mike huckabee, when he was on your show. Oh. Jimmy this is one of the funniest things ive ever seen. You are so funny. He tried to make it a a a reference to jaws, like, an analogy, saying that trump is like the captain quint. That trump was like quint. Jimmy quint. Yeah, i cant believe you remembered quint. And hillary was like the shark. Jimmy and hillary was the shark. Watch this clip. This is it. Hes like captain quint in the original movie, jaws. Hes the guy whos going to save your butt and save your family, and so at the end of the day, when he kills the shark, youre happy about it. Now, hillary is the shark. Shes gonna eat your boat. Thats the choice you get to make. Now, governor, i hate to be the one to tell you this, but captain quint got eaten by the shark. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] jimmy that is the best ever. When did you think of that . You can kind of see, in your face. Youre like, oh no, dont keep going with this story. You can see it going at him like a freight train. Like, maybe he can still land it. I dont, im going to give him time to land it, and
