Any of his fans who still support donald trump to decide between trump and himself. Take a look. And any fan of mine whos a supporter of his, im drawing in the sand a line youre either for or against and if you cant decide who you like more and youre split on who you should stand beside, ill do it for you with this. [ cheers and applause ] seth powerful stuff. Powerful stuff. [ applause ] and i was inspired by that so tonight i say to any fans of this show who are also big fans of donald trump, its time to make a decision, guys. Get off the fence. [ cheers and applause ] do you support him or do you support this show that constantly mocks and denigrates everything about him . I know its a tough call. But the time has come to make a decision. Now, im not much of a rapper, but here it goes. [ cheers and applause ] my name is seth and im here to say if you like trump then go away. [ cheers and applause ] lets get to the news, everyone. Thats going to cost us. [ laughter ] President Trump this morning tweeted, quote, with all the fake news coming out of nbc and the networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their license . Youre coming after nbc . They didnt take our license after that monkey hospital show, theyre not going to take it for you. [ laughter ] President Trump said today, quote, its frankly disgusting the way the press is able to write whatever they want to write and people should look into it. Hey man, are you having trouble reading the First Amendment . [ light laughter ] how about if we put it in red . Oh, i know. How bout in peach . Yeah, impeach. Impeach is definitely the way to go. [ cheers and applause ] Lindsay Lohan today defended movie producer Harvey Weinstein amid allegations of Sexual Harassment saying that she feels very bad for him and she doesnt think its right whats going on. At which point her friend said, lindsay thats a manatee. [ laughter ] a florida man who was arrested for robbing a bank this week reported search the phrase, how to rob a bank on google beforehand. But luckily hes got a plan. [ laughter ] taylor swift announced shes launching a new app called the swift life that will feature taymojis which are emojis that look like her, and they have one thing in common, theyre all surprised. [ laughter ] russian president Vladimir Putin received a puppy today from the president of turkmenistan as a belated Birthday Gift and he sent back a pretty shocking thank you card. [ audience groans ] [ light laughter ] it is my birthday. I ate the puppy. [ laughter ] i send back puppy bones. [ light laughter ] im not monster. I dont eat bone. [ laughter ] ill win em ill win em over with puppy bones. Iceland, this week, became the smallest country to ever qualify for the world cup and while they may be the smallest country they still have the longest roster. [ light laughter ] and finally apple is reportedly designing an iphone with a foldable display. Were getting ready to fold too, said blackberry. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a great show for you tonight. [ cheers and applause ] she is the star of the new series on netflix, disjointed, the always wonderful kathy bates is here, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] hes a dear friend of ours. Hes also the writer, director, and star of the action comedy killing Gunther Taran Killam is back on the show. [ cheers and applause ] and music from one of my favorite bands, Vancouver Rock duo, japandroids are here tonight. [ cheers and applause ] so excited to have them in the studio. Before we get to all of that. President trump is now fighting with members of his own party who think hes dangerous, unstable, and a threat to National Security and on top of that hes threatening Media Outlets that report on him. For more on this its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth trump has fallen short repeatedly on his signature initiatives from the border wall to repealing obamacare so now hes trying to convince people hes succeeding by reciting random numbers about the economy. Numbers he himself derided as a candidate. Trump told forbes in an interview, were accomplishing a lot. Your stock market is at an all time high, your jobs, your unemployment is at the lowest point in almost 17 years. Your stock market . Your jobs . He sounds like a terrible russian spy who forgot he was undercover. [ light laughter ] your flag is very beautiful. I mean our flag. The flag of the uniting states. Scars and spripes. [ light laughter ] but trumps obsession with stock market numbers hasnt helped him much. So now hes trying to bounce back with what he thinks is surefire crowd pleaser, tax cuts. Now, even the most positive polls have found Public Opinion very split with at most 48 of respondents saying they approve of trumps tax plan. But when youre as desperate for good news as trump is youll take 48 . And on tuesday he tried to claim the plan was a massive hit. The people of this country want tax cuts. They want lower taxes. Were the highest taxed nation in the world. People want to see tax cuts, they want to see major reductions in their taxes and they want to see tax reform. I will tell you that its become very, very popular. Seth im sorry, but something cannot be very popular if it only has 48 approval unless it stars johnny knoxville. Now, incidentally the Rotten Tomatoes critics consensus for jackass somehow perfectly describes the trump administration. Theres a good chance youll be laughing hysterically at one stunt, but getting grossed out by the next one. [ cheers and applause ] now, you might have noticed in that clip that trump repeated his line that we are the highest taxed nation in the world, which isnt even close to true. The u. S. Has a higher Corporate Tax rate than other countries, but when it comes to overall taxes we rank 32nd and overall is an important distinction. As in, the stock market under trump is doing well, but overall were still [ bleep ]. A reporter tried to fact check trumps highest taxed nation claim with whitehouse press secretary, Sarah Huckabee sanders on tuesday, but predictably got nowhere. The president repeated this claim in the oval office today saying were the highest taxed nation in the world. Why does the president keep saying this . Its not true overall. We are the highest taxed Corporate Tax in the developed economy. Thats a fact. But thats not what the president said. Thats what hes thats what hes talking about. We are the highest Corporate Taxed country in the developed economies across the globe. Sarah, so thats accurate, but the president keeps repeating this claim that were the highest taxed nation. And thats we are the highest taxed corporate nation. But thats not what he said. He said, were the highest taxed nation in the world. The highest taxed corporate nation. It seems pretty consistent to me. Seth trying to get the truth out of Sarah Huckabee sanders is like trying to get blood from mike pence. You know his veins are just full of whiteout. [ laughter ] but while he continues to push a tax cut plan that would disproportionately benefit the wealthy, trump also continues to insist, despite reality, that he is providing voters what he repeatedly promised on the campaign trail, great healthcare that would be much cheaper than what we currently have. On tuesday he claimed he was preparing a new executive order that would solve many of the problems in healthcare and as has been the case so often before he refused to provide any actual details. Ill also be signing something probably this week which is going to go a long way to take care of many of the people that have been so badly hurt on healthcare and theyll be able to buy, theyll be able to cross state lines, and they will get great competitive healthcare and it will cost the United States nothing. Seth when someone tells you their product will cost nothing, thats a good sign to steer clear. When you see a bucket that says free clams, you dont eat those clams. [ light laughter ] so while [ cheers and applause ] while trump struggles to advance his domestic agenda, hes also been locked in a feud with members of his own party. In particular, tennessee senator bob corker, a republican, who warned on sunday that trumps reckless threats towards other countries could lead the nation on the path to world war iii. Trump hit back at corker yesterday, not with a cogent argument, but with a new nickname. Tweeting, the failing New York Times set Liddle Bob Corker up by recording his conversation. Was made to sound a fool and thats what i am dealing with. Thats what im dealing with . Hey, man, youre the leader of the free world. Stop talking like a stressed out burger king manager. [ laughter and applause ] i got two guys out today, im working the drivethru myself, plus the mouse is back so, yeah, thats what im dealing with. [ cheers and applause ] now, corkers warning about trump is urgent and necessary but the most revealing thing he said was not about trump it was actually about the Republican Party as a whole. Corker told the the New York Times that the people around trump as well as his fellow republican senators know and agree that trump is unfit for office. Corker told the times, i know for a fact that every single day at the white house its a situation of trying to contain him. The vast majority of our caucus understands what were dealing with here. Of course they understand the volatility that were dealing with and the tremendous amount of work that it takes by people around him to keep him in the middle of the road. That sounds less like hes talking about a president and more like the safety talk to the workers who got kong into that broadway theater. [ light laughter ] and of course its not just corker who has questioned trumps fitness for office. Last week it was reported that secretary of state Rex Tillerson had privately called trump a moron and yesterday trump shot back in an interview. When asked about the tillerson report trump said, i think its fake news, but if he did that i guess well have to compare iq tests and i can tell you who is going to win. Oh. That is a bummer, though because the first question is who would win an iq test and the answer is tillerson. [ laughter ] in fact, im willing to bet any rex would beat you in an iq test and most rexs are dogs. [ laughter and applause ] and if youre wondering what happened in that meeting that led tillerson calling trump a moron, nbc reported today that trump told National Security advisers that he wants nearly ten times the number of Nuclear Weapons held in the current stockpile. You dont need ten times the Nuclear Weapons. What we have is enough. Trump is the kind of guy who would get two orders of all you can eat pancakes. Alright, thats all i can eat. Ill take my next order. And this will not shock you, trump was furious at the report about his nuke comments and even threatened to revoke nbcs broadcast license on twitter. Later in the oval office he lamented the fact that the United States has a free press. General mattis put out a statement or is putting out a statement saying that that was fake news, that it was just mentioned that way and its frankly disgusting the way the press is able to write whatever they want to write and people should look into it. Seth people should look into it . Not only is he a wanna be dictator hes a lazy wanna be dictator. Its not that hard to look into it. Its literally the First Amendment. Even rex the dog is like its one sentence, dude. [ laughter and applause ] but iq tests aside, lets step back and think about this, a republican senator is admitting that virtually his entire party knows the president s unstable and dangerous and has essentially done nothing about it. If this is what republicans really believe then at the very least they have to exercise some restraint over trump and reign him in if not remove him from office and yet, many republicans are doing the opposite. Congressman mark meadows, chairman of the hardline freedom caucus, seemed to accidently admit that he and his colleagues were being cowardly when he was asked about those comments from corker who plans to retire at the end of his term. Meadows said of corker, its easy to be bold when youre not coming back. So you all know hes a bad guy, but you dont want to tell the rest of us. Do you work in congress or on the board of the Weinstein Company . [ audience groans ] [ laughter ] [ scattered applause ] trumps whitehouse, meanwhile, has been struggling to mount a convincing defense of trumps behavior and in particular his reckless threats toward north korea. Sander shot back at corker although im not sure her argument was all that persuasive. Senator corker is certainly entitled to his own opinion, but hes not entitled to his own facts. The fact is this president has been an incredibly strong leader on Foreign Policy and National Security. Seth thats not a fact thats an opinion. [ light laughter ] youre entitled to your own opinions, but not your own dictionaries. If republicans genuinely [ scattered applause ] genuinely believe that the president is unstable and dangerous, then giving interviews isnt enough. They have to actually do something about it by exercising some oversight or removing him from office and if you dont know how that works. People should look into it. [ laughter ] seth this has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] well be right back with kathy bates everybody.
