With a christian band performing worship songs in the rose garden and its nice to know that every once in a while hes suffering, too. [ laughter ] according to a new survey, 89 of americans are able to recite the first three words of the constitution said one american, i believe its me, the person. ] [ light laughter [ applause ] President Trump announced in a tweet today that his Federal Reserve nominee, stephen moore, has withdrawn himself from consideration following criticism from some republican senators oh, why is that, republican senators are you afraid he was unqualified . Dinyou think, maybe, he didt understand the job [ light laughter ]yb mayou thought he would do permanent damage to the institution . [ light laughter ] or maybe you thought that just because someone was on t mfor a while didntn he could responsibly handle a complex and difficult job with repercussions for the world economy. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause in any case, way to dodge that bullet, republican senators. Officials in california have warned that a woman infected with the measles virus attended a midnight showing of Avengers Endgame last week, and may have exposed the crowd to the virus meanwhile, a guy with tu rculosis went to see hellboy, but thankfully he was the only one there [ laughter and applause researchers in england have discovered trace amounts of cocaine in several samples of freshwater shrimp. Apparently the shrimp got the cocaine from blowfish. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause according to reports, huggies may debut a line of smart t diapers this summer,t can text parents when the child needs to be changed. [ light laughter ] though, for somegeabies we alreadtext alerts for when they need to be changed. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause an elderly couple in australia yesterday mistakenly signed for a package containing 44 pounds of methamphetamine said the couple, yeah mistakenly. [ light laughter ] and finally kelloggs has released toy storythemed eakfast cereal its called morning woody. [ laughter and applause ladies and gentlemen, we have a great show for you tonight hes is a multitalented actor and comedian he is hosting hard to believe, but hes hosting snle for the first tihis weekend. One of the alltime greats adam sandler is here, you guys [ cheers and applause he represents texass 23rd Congressional District. Rep. Will hurdt. S with us tonigh [ cheers and applause im so excited to talk to him. So happy hes wre beforeget to that, the president threatened to go to war with congress and now he and his attorney general are doing exactly that for more on this, its time for a closer look. [ chrs and applause seth for the first two years of his presidency, trump enjoyed complete immunity and freedom to do whatever he wanted. Because republicans in congress let him get away with itbu then, after democrats won back control of the house in november and gained the power to investigate him, trump threatened to go to war. Ga if they start investing you, can you compartmentalize that and still continue to work withhehem for the benefit of t rest of the country no. Or are all bets off no. If they do that, then its just all it is is a warlike posture. Seth i cant exactly imagine trump in a warlike posture. Mehe spends most of his tin a ducklike posture. [ laughter ] if he were at the battle of winterfell, he wouldnt have been on the front lines or fighting a dragon. He would have been sitting under a in his golf cart. [ light laughter ] [ applause ] but now, tru and his team are showing us their warlike posture, after his attorney general william barr refused to show up for a hearing, today, in the House Judiciary Committee to answer questions special counsel Robert Muellers report. Barr refused to show up specifically because the committee wanted to let lawyers ask him questions. William barr informing the l house panel he wilt testify as scheduled he had been scheduled to testify to the House Judiciary Committee about his handling of the Mueller Report but barr rejected the committees plan to have one of its staff lawyers question him alongside lawmakers. We cannot permit the admistration to dictate to congress how we operate. He is terrified of having to face a skilled attorney. S seth and ime he is. Usually when you work for trump, the only attorney you have to face is this guy and he is definitely not skilled. Gh [ lilaughter ] he looks like he cant believe hes the president s lawyer. [ laughter ] frame of a clip from americas funniest home videos. [ laughter ] if you tuned in late and saw this, youd immediately say,st oh, that guy juot hit in the nuts by a seesaw. [ laughter ] so with barr refusing to show up, democrats decided to make a show of his cowardice by holding a hearing with an empty chair where barr would have been sitting. And then immediately after the hearing, democrats used the opportunity to slam barr for refusing to show up. I dont feel that i can trust anything that the attorney general is saying. Because i dont know who the attorney general works for attorney general bill barr is now one of the most dangerous men in washington, d. C the socalled attorney general is abrasive, evasive and unpersuasive seth man, this confirms everyos worst fear. If you dont show up to a party, the people who do are gonna talk [ bleep ] about you. A [ laughter alause in rhyme but democrats didnt stop at just calling out barr. Congressman steve cohen decided to moc chicken in barrs place and bringing out a bucket of kfc and then he brought out the chicken statue again, during an interview after the hearing, to ally hit the point home. Rep. Steve cohen of tennessee started eating a bucket of morning while lawmakerd the press waited to see if barr would show up. Ss tenne democrat steve cohen then placed a chicken statue and a bucket of kfc in front of the empty chair, poking fun at barrs refusal to appearhi en barr should have shown up today and answer questions. [ laughter ] we are lookatg at images of you hat committee hearing, today, with what appears to be a bucket of fried chicken. [ laughter ] o and there it is you brought props, i see, with you here what is the message youre trying to send the message is that bill barr is a chicken [ laughter and applause seth oh. Is that the message . Im [ light laughter ] im not sure we got it, pal. [ laughter ] also, dude, if you want kfc, just order kfc its finti you dont need tit into the hearing. [ light laughter ] and hes probably not here. Because he knew wed be hitting him with a mcflurry of questions. [ laughter ] [ applause ] so barr decided not to show up and yet republicans on the Committee Still wanted time to complain not about barr, but about the democrats. Like congressman matt gaetz. Gaetz tried to interrupt the Committee Chairman as he wasap wrng up the hearing. But he was only able to get a few words in before his mic was cut off. We need the information without delay. The hearing is adjourn mr. Chairman, i and well do so with trampling minority rigs. Its gonna be, mr. Chairman, where theres not going to be a recognition of members who seek legitimate inquiry as to the procedures [ light laughter ] seth wow, forget muting someone on twitter turns out you can mute him i real life. [ laughter ] seriously, can we please try that next time trump holds a rally . Look, its a rigged system. Okay if i told you how [ light laughter ] [ cheers and applause seth so, that was it that was it. Barr just refused to show up ans answer questiobout how he handled one of the most highly anticipated reports in modern political history. And that might be because when he fed skilled questioning from experienced senators in a hearing yesterday, he often had no answer. Like when senator Kamala Harris asked barr if anyone in the white house had ever asked him to open an investigation into anyone and barr clearly did not want to answer the question. Has the president or anyoneus at the white hoever asked or suggested that you open an investigation of anyone . Yes or no, please, sir um the president or anybody else . It seems youd remember Something Like that and be able to tell us yeah, but im trying to grapple with the word suggest. I mean, there have been discussions of matters out there that they have not asked me to open an investigation but perhaps theyve sw. Gested i dont k [ light laughter ] i wouldnt say suggest hinted . I dont know. [ light laughter ] inferred . You dont know okay seth if it takes you that long to answer something, the answer is yes. If you go in for your Performance Review at chipotle and your boss says, just one last question, brad. Have you ever wrapped your genitals in a tortilla . [ light laughter ] and brad says, uhh light laughter ] im trying to ht [ light laug ] trying to grapple with the word wrap. [ laughter ] [ applause ]s yes. Brad wrapped his [ bleep ] in a tortilla that happened. So barr lied about muellers ndings before anyone else got to see them. Thats why mueller sent his letter to barr complaining as. Ut the proces a letter he sent in march, but which we only found out about this week. And when he was asked about that letter at his hearing, yesterday, barr basically just shrugged it off and specifically complained about theone. This letter was an extraordinary act. A career prosecutor rebuking the attorney general of the ta united ss. I know of no other instance of but he was also political appointee. Ic and he was a polit appointee with me at the department of justice. I dont you know, the letter is a bitnitty. And i think it was probably written by one of his staff people seth sorry, did you call it snitty ar oyou the attorney general the dowager countess [ laughter ] also, you know, of course he was snitty he spent two years working on a 400page report about a criminal conspiracy to interfere in a president ial election. And then you wrote a fourpage summary lying about it id be snitty, too its like if michelangelo unveiled the Sistine Chapel and then the pope just put a plaque under it that said two dudes touching fingers. [ laughter ] so barr lied to the American People and to congress and now hes just not showatg up to hearings ll which means the next thing congress should do is call mueller himself to testify so we can actually hear from the guy who wrote e report democrats in the house [ applause ] democrs in the house have said they want to do that but in the senate, republican senator Lindsey Graham, chairman of the judiciary committee, said flatout he definitely will not call mueller to testify. Why not call for mueller to testify . Because im not going to do anymore. Enough already its over. Seth no, its not over just because you said its over we should hear from mueller, because for one thing we never do i mean, i dont even know what his voice sounds like. Maybe he sounds like Bobcat Goldthwait from police academy. And id like to discuss with you something that would be vital for you to know [ laughter ] seth this has been a closer look.
