This brings us to a new segment, entitled, seth has to walk away for a minute. [ laughter ] [ laughter ] [ mumbling ] seth i mean what point at what point to just have some common decency . Some Human Emotion . [ laughter ] i mean announcer this has been seth has to walk away for a minute. [ cheers and applause ] seth in an interview yesterday, white house counselor, Kellyanne Conway said of hillary clinton, quote, we dont care about her. Nobody here talks about her. [ light laughter ] wow i cant believe conway has worked at the white house all this time and she still hasnt met this guy. [ laughter ] hillarys name is in his mouth more often than his teeth are. [ laughter and applause ] conway also said last night that President Trump realized there doesnt need to be a wall alongside the entire southern border, because, quote, there are rivers involved, im told. There are mountains involved. Also, people dont want to come here any more, because we have a bad president. Senator [ cheers and applause ] senator jeff flake said today that President Trumps proposed border wall doesnt need to be a wall, but more of a fence. Theyll even settle for a net or a sternly worded sign, parking cones. And if they still cant afford it, just get some old guy who yells, get get outta here [ cheers and applause ] according to nbc news, former white house chief strategist, steve bannon, has hired a lawyer to help him prepare to testify before the house intelligence committee. Id say bannon is starting to sweat, but im pretty sure he never stopped. [ laughter ] President Trump announced yesterday the delivery of f52 fighter jets to norway, despite the f52 being a fictional aircraft from the game of call of duty. So bad news, norway. It sounds like youre not getting those battle carts, either. [ cheers and applause ] first lady, melania trump, has added three new people to her personal white house staff. She just needs one more to make it over the fence. [ laughter and applause ] today was National Milk day. Or as mike pence calls it, thirsty thursday [ laughter ] according to a report due to global warming, many former Winter Olympics sites may not be reliably cold enough to host the games again after 2050. Officials first became suspicious when a figure skater drowned. Ikea has come out with a new interactive print ad for baby cribs that doubles as an athome pregnancy test. But like everything from ikea, it comes with way too many steps. Honey, it says im supposed to put my part seven into your part twelve . The New York Times has published its 13th annual list of 52 places to travel. Coming in at number one . Back in time today was learn your name in morse code day. Done, said first lady, sos. [ laughter ] and finally, President Trump this week was upset by california senator Dianne Feinsteins decision to release the full testimony transcripts regarding the russian dossier by cofounder of fusion gps, glenn simpson. Now, simpson was willing to have his testimony released and it contains no classified information. So technically, senator feinstein didnt do anything wrong. But, that didnt stop trump from calling her sneaky dianne in a tweet and claiming her actions were a disgrace and possibly illegal. Understandably, this is all a little confusing. So heres a song to help explain it. Please welcome, amber cougar mellencamp [ cheers and applause ] a little ditty bout sneaky dianne an American Girl reppin california land for leakin transcripts she deserves a gold star proof President Trump tryin to be a russian czar trump calls her a disgrace he says whatever he please but diannes little stunt puts americans at ease trump he says, hey, dianne why you witch hunting me she said, youre lucky i dont have the tape with the hooker pee [ laughter ] saying oh yeah life goes on long after your terrible president s gone oh yeah, they say life goes on long after youre done being putins pawn now walk on on donald trump this will take its toll let the bible belt try and save his soul hold on to 2016 as long as you can change is coming round real soon like an indictment by a gman little diddy bout sneaky dianne an American Girl doin the best that she can [ cheers and applause ] seth ladies and gentlemen, amber cougar mellencamp, everybody [ cheers and applause ] the best thing absolutely 100 the best thing about my job, i show up and writers come in, they say, hey. We want to write about sneaky dianne. We want a parody song to jack and diane. And i go great, who is going to play john cougar mellencamp . They go amber, and im like, great. [ laughter ] weve got a great show for you tonight, hes the host of the lead and state of the union on cnn. Jake tapper is back on the show [ cheers and applause ] one of our absolute favorites. Also, stars of the new show corporate on Comedy Central, Matt Ingebretson and jake weisman are here to talk about their new show. [ cheers and applause ] now, before we get to that, President Trump has now moved on from trying to discredit the russia investigation to pretending its over while lawmakers in both parties try to work with trump on an immigration deal. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth there were reports that special counsel Robert Muellers rapidly escalating russia investigation is now nearing the point where mueller may want to interview trump in the next few weeks. And yet despite those developments, trump is doing everything he can to pretend the investigation doesnt exist and that the allegations of russian collusion are not real. As he did at camp david on saturday. Theres been no collusion. Theres been no crime. And in theory, everybody tells me, im not under investigation. Maybe hillary is, i dont know. But im not. [ laughter ] but theres been no collusion. Theres been no crime. But, we have been very open. We could have done it two ways. We could have been very closed and it would have taken years. But you know, sort of like when youve done nothing wrong, lets be open and get it over with. Because honestly, its very, very bad for our country. Its making our country look foolish. Seth um, thats not whats making our country look foolish. [ laughter ] trumps like [ cheers and applause ] trumps like the kid at the sleepover who wakes up with a penis drawn on his face and doesnt know thats why everyone is laughing. Whats so funny . Is it kevins asthma . How hilarious is it that he needs an inhaler . Hey, do you guys smell sharpie . [ laughter ] now, republicans have repeatedly tried to discredit the russia investigation by falsely claiming that it resulted from the Christopher Steele dossier. Which contains some salacious and unverified rumors about trump as well as some information that has been corroborated by the fbi. Trump himself has attacked the dossier, like when he tweeted about a fox friends segment the day after christmas. Wow, fox friends dossier is bogus. Clinton campaign, dnc funded dossier. Fbi cannot, after all this time, verify claims in dossier of russia trump collusion. Fbi tainted. And they use this crooked hillary pile of garbage as the basis for going after the Trump Campaign thats all one tweet. [ light laughter ] hey, twitter, you couldnt wait until the next president to go to 280 characters . Thats like saying [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] thats like saying, hey that guy has got a gun give him another gun also, i love how he starts with, wow, fox friends. like hes shocked that they confirmed his suspicions. [ laughter ] its kind of like m. Night shyamalan turning to you at the end of the sixth sense and going, wow, bruce willis was dead the whole time . And whats with the all caps . Is he even writing his tweets any more, or screaming them at an amazon echo . [ laughter ] alexa, are you okay . Please kill me. [ laughter and applause ] seth and in fact, we learned again this week that the dossier was not the initial basis for the russia investigation. Glenn simpson, the cofounder of the firm that contracted steele to put the dossier together, testified behind closed doors to congress that the fbi already had intelligence that tipped into allegations of possible collusion between the Trump Campaign and russia. Now, the only reason we know about this testimony is because democratic senator, dianne feinstein, decided to release it. To counter republican claims that the dossier was the reason for the russia investigation. And trump did not react to that well. He took to twitter to call her sneaky dianne feinstein. Ive got to say, thats a pretty lame insult coming from the guy who coined little marco and lyin ted. If anything, sneaky makes her sound cool. [ light laughter ] whats next, wild warren or balls out bernie . [ light laughter ] now, trumps twitter outburst only add to the growing impression that the president is dangerously unfit for the job. An impression trump tried to counter on tuesday by televising his immigration negotiations with democrats. During that meeting, trump was asked about his position on daca. The program that protects undocumented immigrants brought here as children and seemed to not really have one. It seems to me not much has actually changed here in terms of your positions. At this particular no, i think its changed i think my positions are going to be what the people in this room come up with. I am very much reliant on the people in this room. If they come to me with things that im not in love with, im going to do it. Seth trump treats governing like hes at his first sushi restaurant with his japanese friend. I dont know what any of this means, so just tell me what to get. [ laughter ] but know i like hamburgers. [ laughter ] in fact, trump is so addled and confused about policy, that during this meeting he seemed to agree with whoever was talking at any given moment. For example, democrats want a clean renewal of the daca program without any attachments. Republicans want funding for the border wall included as any part of any the deal. Trump has claimed to also want that. Yet during the meeting seemed to go back and forth depending on who was talking. What about a clean daca bill now with a commitment that we go into a comprehensive Immigration Reform procedure . I have no problem. I think thats basically what vick has said. Were going to come up with daca. Were gonna do daca. And then we can start immediately on the phase two, which would be comprehensive. Yeah, i would like to do that. Mr. President , you need to be clear, though. I think what senator feinstein is asking here, when we talk about just daca, we dont want to be back here two years later. You have to have security, as the secretary would tell you. But i think thats what shes saying. [ talking over each other ] no, i think shes saying something different. I think what were all saying is well do daca and we can certainly start comprehensive Immigration Reform the following afternoon. Seth oh, my god, its like watching siblings trying to get their senile grandfather to write them into his will. [ laughter ] i should get all the money well, okay, that seems right. Why should he get all the money . Well, that wouldnt be fair. Our president is elmer fudd trying to decide if its duck season or rabbit season. [ cheers and applause ] okay, but, the rabbit makes a good point when he says its actually duck season. Whats that . Oh, hold on, the ducks telling me something completely different. [ laughter ] so we have a bewildered president who has no idea what hes talking about. Pingponging from one position to the next, depending on who is speaking. How did the media react . Well, apparently the bar is now so low for trump that making it through one meeting is considered a win. This is the presidency that many people thought donald trump was capable of. Just the notion of him being in command, of him wanting the cameras in there and wanting the cameras to see him sitting at a table with democrats and republicans, playing the role of a dealmaker. He held a meeting that was televised with both sides of the aisle. No hate speak, no faux populism. The president there at times appearing quite engaged, asking questions. Calling on congressional leaders, offering solutions. Seth he was conscious, he knew where he was. [ laughter ] he didnt scream obscenities. He never peed his pants. News anchors talk about trump the way you talk about a sick cat. He was awake, he was drinking water. He let mike pence pet him [ laughter ] of course, those glowing reviews were not lost on trump, who bragged about them yesterday in a rambling aside during a Cabinet Meeting where he claimed that news anchors had sent him letters of congratulations for his performance during the meeting. It was a tremendous meeting. Actually, it was reported as incredibly good. And my performance some of them called it a performance. I consider it work. But got great reviews by everybody other than two networks, who were phenomenal for about two hours. Then after that, they were called by their boss, and they said, oh, wait a minute. And unfortunately, a lot of those anchors sent us letters, saying that was one of the greatest meetings they have ever witnessed. [ laughter ] and they were great. For about two hours, they were phenomenal. And then they went a little bit south on us, but not that bad. It was fine. They probably wished they didnt send us those letters of congratulations, but it was good. Seth a letter of congratulations . I doubt that happened, but if you get a letter congratulating you for getting through a onehour meeting, the proper response is to be embarrassed. [ laughter ] so [ cheers and applause ] do you see this . I got this letter for not tripping on my way in the room. [ laughter ] so lawmakers are working to get an immigration deal, and they said today they had reached one. And yet trump apparently decided to inject some vulgar racism into the conversation. Just before we started taping tonight, the Washington Post reported that President Trump grew frustrated with lawmakers thursday in the oval office when they floated restoring protections from immigrants from haiti, el salvador, and african countries as part of a bipartisan immigration deal. Trump said, why are we having all these people from [ bleep ]hole countries come here . To be fair, maybe he meant it as a compliment. After all, trump does all his best tweets when hes sitting on the [ bleep ]hole. [ laughter and applause ] so we have a president Whose Administration is under a cloud of scandal and who is so addled he doesnt know at any given time what his own positions are. Basically, the National Mood right now can be summed with up three words. Please kill me. Seth this has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] well be right back with jake tapper, everybody [ cheers and applause ] announcer for more of seths closer looks be sure to subscribe to late night on youtube.
