Welcome, welcome, welcome, everyone. Welcome to the tonight show. This is it, baby [ cheers and applause ] this is it. Come on welcome, welcome, welcome to the tonight show. Hey, one of the big stories everyones talking about is the immigration debate. And get this. I saw that pope francis has actually been tweeting bible references that opposed president trumps travel ban. You know youre doing something wrong when youre getting cyber bullied by the pope. You know [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] steve hit stop. Jimmy meanwhile, House Speaker paul ryan just got back from a tour of the u. S. mexico border and while he was there he actually rode a horse. [ laughter ] when he saw ryan wearing a a shirt, one guy said, you are doing it wrong. [ laughter and applause ] both bare back. You and horse. [ laughter ] double bare back. Steve yeah. [ laughter ] yeah, thats it. Careful. Jimmy actually [ laughter ] steve heyoh jimmy bear claw . Steve what . Jimmy what did you say . Steve bare of notice. Double bare [ laughter ] double bare back. Jimmy yeah. [ laughter ] actually, there are rumors that russias compiling a a psychological profile on trump to help putin get inside his head. Yeah. You know, its so hard to get trump to open up and talk about himself. [ laughter ] its good to get those things [ applause ] he keeps a lot of stuff private. I saw that apple is criticizing trump after he overturned the rule that lets transgender students use the bathroom of their choice. Apple says that regardless of your gender, everyone should be able to drop an iphone into whichever toilet they want. [ laughter ] as long as you keep buying iphones. [ cheers and applause ] absolutely. But trump is still working hard to build relationships with businesses. In fact this morning he held a a meeting with a group of ceos at the white house. Trump said he wants to replace robots with human workers. [ laughter ] then mike pence says, ill show myself out. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] but trumps relationship with the press could still use some work. I saw that during the campaign, trumps staff will try to keep him calm by showing him lots of protrump news coverage. His current staff it trying to do the same thing but its getting tough to find anything positive. [ light laughter ] check out what they showed him this week. Donald trump is smart. Great. Tremendous. Wonderful. Incredible. Amazing. Remarkable. And. Handsome. Jimmy yeah. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] might have been edited a a little. Steve a little. Jimmy yeah. Steve just a little. Jimmy it seems like trumps staff is still trying to get handle on things. In fact one insider says theres no rhyme or reason to who trump picks for his administration. Trump was like, not true. Theres definitely a rhyming. [ laughter ] eanie, meanie, minie, moe. [ laughter ] eanie and meanie rhymes. [ applause ] and moe was the reason. However john mccain actually praised trumps new National Security advisor h. R. Mcmaster, calling him an outstanding choice and a man of genuine intellect, character, and ability. Then trump said, in that case, forget it. Get me steven seagal. [ laughter and applause ] hey guys, this is going viral. The president of finland has a a dog named lennu, i think im pronouncing that right. And some recent photos have been getting a lot of attention on the internet here. Take a look at him. Look at this. [ laughter ] isnt he cute . Well, we actually decided to make some memes for lennu. [ laughter ] check this out. This first meme is called, when bae liked your new profile pic.
