Seth according to the washington post, in july of 2016 former Trump Campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, offered to provide private briefings on the president ial race to a russian billionaire who is close with vladimir putin. So Paul Manafort was the Campaign Manager for donald trump and met with a billionaire, who is friends with putin, who is in a movie with kevin bacon. I did it, you guys [ cheers and applause ] President Trump tweeted yesterday, quote, alabama is so lucky to have a candidate like big Luther Strange for the special Senate Election to fill attorney general Jeff Sessionss seat. But look how he spelled so. Hey, man, anything more than one o means youre being sarcastic. [ light laughter ] but you must know that. Youre soooo smart. [ cheers and applause ] and in an interview yesterday, bill gates said that he regrets requiring Windows Users to press control, alt, delete to log in. Saying that he would instead make that a single key. He also wishes hadnt made clippy such a prick. [ laughter ] some 7eleven stores are now offering what they are calling restaurant quality dishes. Hey, we should try that, said olive garden. [ laughter and applause ] kodak has teamed with facebook to offer a new service that will sort through old photos and suggest images to print out or have put on mugs. Said one dad, i love it [ laughter ] a teacher in South Carolina has been suspended after she gave her fifth grade class a homework assignment asking them to justify the kkks treatment of africanamericans. Also suspended, the kid who got an a. [ laughter ] 80 years ago today, j. R. R tolkiens book, the hobbit was released. To give you an idea of what 80 years feels like, watch the movie. [ laughter and applause ] and finally, the 1980s soft drink jolt cola will return to shelves this month. But if you really want a jolt, try this popular 80s product. [ laughter and applause ] ladies and gentlemen, we have a fantastic show for you tonight shes starring in the new film, battle of the sexes. Emma stone is here, you guys [ cheers and applause ] the always wonderful emma stone. Shes an incredibly funny actor. Shes on foxs the mick. Kaitlin olson is joining us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] and music from legends. Rock icons blondie are here tonight. [ cheers and applause ] so excited, so excited about blondie fred. We saw we saw we were together and we saw blondie inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame. Fred thats rock and roll hall of fame, yeah. Seth but we had to we had to leave that night and go out and watch them. And then tonight theyre coming to us. Fred yeah. Seth its so much better. Fred yes. [ laughter ] seth before we get to all of that, republicans are once again making a m dash to rush through a bill that would repeal obamacare and drastically overhaul health care in this country. And once again, very few republicans can actually defend their bill or explain what it does. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth theres nothing donald trump is better at than making big, empty promises even though he has no idea how to achieve them. The latest example of this strategy came yesterday when trump met with palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas at the United Nations and said hed like to achieve middle east peace. Although he seemed to have no real clue how to do it, as you can tell from his nonchalant tone. Israel is working very hard toward the same goal. And i must tell you, saudi arabia and many of the different nations are working also hard. So well see if we can put it together. Who knows . Stranger things have happened. [ laughter ] seth he talks about middle east peace the way people talk about getting back together with their ex. [ laughter ] hey, Stranger Things have happened, right . But hes right. Not only have Stranger Things happened, Stranger Things are constantly happening. I think we might all be trapped in an episode of Stranger Things. [ light laughter ] were a week away from trump saying, were going to pass health care, achieve middle east peace, and bring things barb back from the upside down. We can get it done. [ cheers and applause ] even when it comes to basic details, trump is, of course, often confused. Just take his address yesterday at a luncheon with African Leaders where he tried to praise several african countries for their efforts on health care, but seemed to make up a country on the spot. In guinea and nigeria, you fought a horrifying ebola outbreak. Nambias Health System is increasingly selfsufficient. Seth of course, the problem is nambia is not a country that actually exists. [ light laughter ] im pretty sure trump pulled that right out of his djibouti. [ laughter ] trump is single handedly keeping googles did you mean feature in business. [ laughter ] thats right. Trump thinks theres a country called nambia which, of course, is right next to nigeristan and kenyabelievethis[ bleep ]guy [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] now, the who knows approach is basically the same approach trump has used on health care. During the campaign he claimed repeatedly that he would provide Great Health Care at a much lower cost that would cover everybody, and that it would be very easy to pass. Well shockingly, it turns out trump had no idea how to accomplish any of that. In fact, during a recent meeting where a Bipartisan Group of lawmakers tried to pitch him on a compromised bill to shore up obamacare, all trump cared about was the name. According to politico, upon hearing it, had bipartisan support, the president had one question. Can i call it repeal and replace . A democratic lawmaker responded, you can call it whatever you want, mr. President. [ light laughter ] hell, you can call it nambia [ laughter ] no one else is using it. [ laughter and applause ] now, democrats and republicans actually were getting close to a bipartisan solution that would have fixed some of the problems with obamacare while keeping the bill largely in place. But gop leaders decided to blow all of that up in favor of yet again another lastditch effort to repeal and replace obamacare. A health care hail mary. The president pushing republicans to not let this Obamacare Repeal fail. This is the grahamcassidy bill. This, really, for all intents and purposes is a final hail mary here for republicans on health care. Republicans pushing ahead with a hail mary plan. This hail mary option. Theyre referring to it as a hail mary, essentially. There is the lastditch, furious hail mary effort seth of course, if this thing passes, a hail mary might be the only Health Care Option some people can afford. [ light laughter ] hail mary, full of grace, does this mole look weird to you . But thats right. Theyre throwing another hail mary. Except republicans arent exactly tom brady or aaron rodgers. Theyre more like jay cutler. Hes going to launch it. And that was way out of bounds. Incomplete. [ laughter and applause ] seth now, the main sponsors of this new bill are senators bill cassidy and lindsey graham. And they are trying to rush it through for a vote as early as next week. Now, as you may recall, republicans complained repeatedly about the process democrats used to pass obamacare in 2009 and 2010. Even though it was a far more open process than theyre using now. But they didnt just complain about the process. They even complained about the length of the bill itself. In fact, back in 2009, senator Mitch Mcconnell thought the page length of the obamacare bill was so damning that during one floor speech he kept repeating it over and over. We have now had less than 48 hours to look through this 2,074page bill. This massive, 2,074page bill. Buried in this 2,074page bill. This monstrous, 2,074page bill. On what is buried in this 2,074page bill. In this 2,074page bill. Were we to pass this 2,074page bill. This 2,074page bill. What else do we know about this 2,074page bill . Seth well, theres one thing we definitely know. [ laughter ] but heres the thing. Its supposed to be long. This isnt book club. Youre reorganizing onesixth of the american economy. Details are good. Just take obamacares protections for people with preexisting conditions as an example. Obamacare had lots of very specific legal definitions for what kinds of coverage people with preexisting conditions should get. The Affordable Care act includes definitions, in law, of whats reasonable for an individual to spend on premiums, given his or her income. By comparison, the new gop bill has none of those details. That doesnt exist in cassidygraham. There arent definitions of key terms like adequate or affordable. And i dont know if youve met the guy who will be signing this bill, but im not sure we should go by his definition of affordable. [ light laughter ] so the bill takes money away from Vulnerable People on medicaid and strips away protections for people with preexisting conditions. Now you might think, how could any senator vote for such a monstrous bill . Well, the answer is, they either dont know or dont care. The website vox interviewed gop senators and asked them basic questions about the bill, and their answers were baffling. Take, for example, this exchange with kansas senator, pat roberts. Reporter why does this make things better . What is this doing . Roberts look. Were in the back seat of a convertible being driven by thelma and louise and were headed toward the canyon. Thats a movie that youve probably never seen. Reporter i do know thelma and louise sir. [ laughter ] roberts so we have to get out of the car and you have to have a car to get into, and this is the only car there is. I love how he realized halfway through that his analogy made no sense and he just hoped the reporter had never seen the movie. [ laughter ] you see, its kind of like forrest gump. You probably havent seen that movie. No, ive seen it. Oh, its like minions. [ laughter ] and on top of Everything Else this bill would do, it would also radically restructure a deeply cut medicaid and would reduce total federal funding to states by 489 billion through 2027. Now, those cuts may seem savage and cruel, but to be fair, republicans have always preached fiscal responsibility and the importance of saving money. And im sure this next series of clips about Trumps Health secretary, tom price, wont prove that theyre all full of [ bleep ]. Health and Human Services secretary, tom price, is taking a little bit of heat after politico found he took five private flights last week for events in maine, new hampshire, and pennsylvania. The cost . Tens of thousands of dollars. That included a flight from washington, d. C. To philadelphia and back on a 30seat private charter at a cost of and this is really astounding, 25,000. Seth 25,000. Do you know how short a flight is from d. C. To philadelphia . If you tried to watch thelma and louise on that flight, you wouldnt meet louise [ laughter ] Susan Sarandon is in it . Not the part i saw. [ light laughter ] so tom price thinks medicaid patients should lose their health care but has no problem spending tens of thousands of dollars on private jets. And hes not the only one. Treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin also came under fire after he requested use of a government jet to take him and his wife on their european honeymoon. And before that, took a government aircraft to kentucky on a trip that involved viewing the solar eclipse. And when he was asked about that taxpayerfunded eclipse trip, he tried to claim he didnt actually care about the eclipse, because hes from new york. When i got there, the staff had actually intended that we watch the eclipse on the roof of fort knox. And, you know, people in kentucky took this stuff very seriously. Being a new yorker in california, i was like, the eclipse we got there, i was like, really, i dont have any interest in watching the eclipse. Seth you think new yorkers dont care about the eclipse . I can show you one new yorker who wanted to see the eclipse so badly, he almost burned his retinas. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] no, i dont want the glasses. I want to see the whole thing. No glasses. [ laughter ] so these guys think millions of people should have their health care ripped away from them while they spend thousands on private jets and eclipse trips they dont even care about. And now the question is, can they get the votes to pass this bill. Republicans are pulling out all of the stops, even forming unlikely alliances. Lindsey graham, for example, said hes even been in contact with his onetime nemesis, trumps former chief strategist, steve bannon and that bannan has been helping him push the new repeal bill. Graham said of bannon, me and darth vader are now talking to each other. [ light laughter ] hey, lindsay, when youre trying to get a bill passed, youre not supposed to admit that the people youre working with are evil. [ light laughter ] lets just say, Cruella Deville and i have been working on something i believe will be good for all dalmatians. [ laughter ] but there are still some holdouts. Kentucky senator rand paul remains opposed to the bill, because he thinks it doesnt actually go far enough in repealing obamacare. So to win over votes, trump has been tweeting. Yesterday he claimed i would not sign grahamcassidy if it does not include coverage of preexisting conditions. It does. A great bill, repeal and replace. And before that he tweeted, rand paul is a friend of mine, but he is such a negative force when it comes to fixing health care. Grahamcassidy bill is great. Ends obamacare. So trump managed to claim three falsehoods in there. Bill covers preexisting conditions. It doesnt. Grahamcassidy bill is great. Its not. And rand paul is a friend of mine. He is . [ laughter ] his visceral response to attack people on their appearance, short, tall, fat, ugly. My goodness. That happened in junior high. Are we not way above that . And would we not all be worried to have someone like that in charge of the Nuclear Arsenal . Mr. Trump. I never attacked him on his look. And believe me, there is plenty of subject matter right there. [ laughter ] that i can tell you. Seth plenty of subject matter right there. Trump knows more about rand pauls appearance than he knows about his own Health Care Bill. In fact, his rand paul burn book is 2,074 pages. [ laughter and applause ] so republicans are racing to jam through a Health Care Bill that would destroy medicaid and strip coverage for millions of people, including those with preexisting conditions. Could republicans really be shameless enough to pass this monstrous bill . Who knows . Stranger things have happened. [ light laughter ] seth this has been a closer look.
