Attacked the impeachment inquiry tweeting, this impeachment nonsense is just the continuation of the witch hunt hoax. Okay, this is beside the point but witch hunt and hoax mean the same thing [ laughter ] calling the impeachment a witch hunt hoax is like calling you dumb donald trump. [ laughter ] you dont [ cheers and applause need both. According to a new poll, 50 of americans say theyre ready to elect an openly gay president if for no other reason, just to have a president whose suit fits [ laughter and applause what are you doing, man . I mean you look like a kid playing a grownup in a school play. [ laughter ] President Trump today tweeted an edited image that depicts him presenting the dog that participated in the raid on the leader of isis with a medal with the caption American Hero. Sure, you say that now, but wait til you find out that dog is testifying in the impeachment inquiry. [ laughter ] also, its a good thing they put you American Hero in there, otherwise it just looks like trumps about to strangle a dog. [ laughter ] games up, dog. [ laughter ] just put some kibble down, then ill sneak up behind him [ laughter ] following the news that ivanka trump and Jared Kushner hosted an Anniversary Party at camp david over the weekend, the white house issued a statement stressing that the event was not paid for with taxpayer money because the trump family does not pay taxes [ laughter and applause beginning next year beginning next year, china will ban people from lying down in the subway while in new york, if someone is lying down in the subway, they dead [ laughter ] dwayne the rock johnson announced the launch of his new brand of tequila today even crazier, so did dame judi dench. [ laughter ] a man in nebraska recently attempted to open a bank account with a fake 1 million bill. [ laughter ] said the man, well, at least i got that get out of jail free card. [ laughter ] and finally, a woman in california was rescued this week after she got lost at a National Park and used rocks to spell out sos. But only because she didnt have enough it rocks to write camping sucks. [ laughter ] ladies and gentlemen, we have a great show for you tonight [ cheers and applause hes the star of Tom Clancys Jack Ryan which returns for its Second Season this friday on Amazon Prime VideoJohn Krasinski [ cheers and applause is back, everybody so happy to have him here. Hes a very funny comedian and actor who you can see in nbcs new comedy sunnyside. Joel kim booster is joining us [ cheers and applause and she is running for the u. S. Senate in kentucky. Amy mcgrath is here tonight. [ cheers and applause so youre here on a good evening. Before we get to our guests, as the house prepares for a formal vote to authorize the impeachment inquiry into President Trump, republicans are comparing their situation to a horror movie for more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause seth just step back and remember that from day one the actual facts in the ukraine scandal have been damning for the president. We have the notes from the call. We know that trump held up hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid that congress had specifically directed to ukraine. And while he was holding up that aid, trump asked the ukrainian president to investigate his political rivals its all right there trump mentions bidens by name multiple times the only the only legitimate reason a president has ever had for mentioning joe biden on a call with a foreign leader is when obama had to apologize for him. [ laughter ] uh mr. Prime minister, im sorry about joe. [ laughter ] just because he could see london and france does not mean he should have anything about your underpants. [ laughter ] and of course, lets not forget during that phone call with the president of ukraine, trump literally said the words, i would like you to do us a favor. Remember, during the russia investigation, when everyone was wondering if there was a smoking gun, well, this is the smoking gun. It turns out the smoking gun was Donald Trumps mouth the whole time [ laughter ] and his brain, much like a revolver, is only capable of holding six words. [ laughter ] now, we know we know [ cheers and applause we know that one of those words is perfect because trump keeps insisting every time he speaks, almost without fail, that his phone call with the president of ukraine was not just unimpeachable, but perfect he has said it dozens of times, including multiple times just in the last week. The level of unfairness for a perfect conversation with the president of ukraine this was a perfect conversation. But this was a perfect conversation its one conversation that i had with the president of ukraine that was perfect i had a perfect conversation with the president of ukraine. Perfect. The conversation has been perfect. I had a perfect conversation perfect. The conversation was was perfect. [ laughter ] seth stop saying perfect. When you overcompensate like that, it only makes you sound guiltier [ laughter ] most people if you accuse them of robbing a bank would say, i didnt do it. Trump would say, it was a perfect transaction. [ laughter ] i filled out the slip, the teller was polite. Perfect. Perfect. [ laughter ] trump is just a weird, weird man. Hes like an alien who learned to mimic Human Behavior [ light laughter ] but didnt do all of the homework like when he was giving out halloween candy at the white house and for some reason [ laughter ] decided to put some on top of a kids head [ laughter ] place the candy up on the head of the minion where it waits. [ laughter ] until all seven moons are in alignment. If trumps going to do that, he should have to put candy on the head of all of his minions were joined now by white house Senior Adviser stephen miller. And is that a hershey kiss on your head . [ laughter ] it is the president put it here and i for one am happy we finally have a leader with the courage to put candy on the heads of the american people. [ laughter ] but trumps insistance that the call was perfect is actually a huge problem for his fellow republicans. Those republicans are reportedly dreading having to actually cast a vote in the impeachment inquiry if it gets to the senate because on one hand they know what trump did was wrong, but on the other hand trump wont admit it is wrong. So they have no wiggle room. Theyre basically parents sitting in the Principals Office saying, i promise our son wont pull the fire alarm again, while the son is sitting next to them saying oh, yeah, im going to do it again. [ laughter ] and they have to say, hes not going to do it again hes not going to pull it. He knows what he did was wrong. And hes saying, it wasnt wrong, it was perfect. [ laughter ] it was super loud and it was super funny. [ laughter ] and on top of that, republicans are also afraid of what else might come out during the impeachment inquiry. According to the washington post, republicans voiced exasperation at the expectation that they defend the president against the troublesome picture that had been painted, with neither convincing arguments from the white house nor confidence that something worse will soon be discovered one veteran republican senator said, it feels like a horror movie. Yeah, every minute with donald trump feels like a horror movie. [ laughter ] thats why rudy always looks like he just closed the medicine cabinet [ laughter ] and saw the reflection of the killer behind him. [ laughter ] and, im sorry, but you guys dont get to complain that youre in a horror movie when youre the ones who invited the babicrook into the white house [ laughter ] but republicans were right about one thing. It does keep getting worse as more information comes out about the quid pro quo trump and his team tried to orchestrate with ukraine. For example, you might remember that the memo from the call that was released from the white house specifically said it was not a verbatim transcript of the discussion but that didnt stop trump from insisting it was anyway. You had stenographers, you had people that took it down exactly. It was a perfect call. All you have to read what they wrote down, the stenographers. They wrote down an exact call. We had stenographers on the phone taking it down word for word this is an exact wordforword transcript of the conversation, right . Taken by very talented stenographers. Seth first it of all, they must have been talented to make sense of what the hell you are saying [ laughter ] in fact, we know we know its hard to transcribe trump because one time trump could not say the word origins so the white house literally had to make up a new word spelled orangeins [ laughter ] which appeared in an actual white house transcript because thats how trump kept pronouncing it i hope they now go and take alook at the oranges, the orangeins of the investigation, the beginnings the Mueller Report i wish covered the oranges how it started. [ laughter ] seth remember when the president of the United States couldnt even say the word origins . [ light laughter ] like a College Freshman who accidently took too big of a rip off a bong you know whats a funny word [ laughter ] orangeins [ laughter ] orangeins also, it definitely seemed at the time like the memo of trumps call was not in fact complete transcript because there were multiple ellipses throughout and those were definitely not pauses because donald trump does not take pauses he just yammers until he runs out of oxygen and then inhales like hes about to go pearl diving [ laughter ] this week we found out that the transcript trump claimed was wordforword was not in fact wordforword. The top ukraine expert on the National Security council, Lieutenant ColonelAlexander Vindman who listened to the call testified on tuesday that the notes from the call had some missing phrases and that he tried to correct the transcript. Now, to be clear, the phrases do not fundamentally change lawmakers understanding of the call but nonetheless, this makes clear that vindman is an extremely credible witness who offered a first hand account of critical episodes in the quid pro quo. And was so trubled by trumps live phone call with ukraines president that he reported his concerns to his superior the behavior was so troubling that trumps allies cant actually defend it so instead, theyre attacking the process and witnesses themselves, like vindman, a decorated iraq war veteran who received a purple heart. Trump allies in congress and the media have suggested that vindman might have an affinity towards ukraine because he emigrated from there when he was three. So hes got a purple heart and he is from the soviet union. He emigrated here and has an affinity to the ukrainian people we also know he was born in the soviet union, emigrated with his family, young. He tends to feel simpatico with the ukraine. Seth simpatico what are you [ laughter ] a right wing beat poet that cat wigged out, because hes simpatico, daddyo, you dig it . [ laughter ] republicans cant defend trumps corrupted abuse of power because the are indefensible theres nothing they can say in fact, theyre so at a loss to defend him that even when it comes up in private, they quickly move on to other topics. Heres how democratic senator chris coons explained his private conversations with republicans in the senate about impeachment. Ive worked hard to develop some meaningful friendships with my republican colleagues in order to be able to legislate on a wide range of issues we are having no meaningful conversations about whats the path forward about the president s conduct with regard to ukraine when ive tried to open conversations about this, my friends changed the subject. Seth how do you just change the subject . Lets talk about impeachment . Speaking of peaches, would you like some fruit . [ laughter ] ive got a bowl full of orangeins. [ laughter and applause seth trump allies have ran out of defenses. So now theyre just whining about the process and smearing a witness simply because he was alarmed by the president s corrupt behavior republicans have nothing left to say so all they can do is repeat trumps lies and some of them are doing it wordforword [ laughter ] seth this has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause well be right back with John Krasinski [ cheers and applause happy halloween. Thank you treat what do ya got . Yawn yeah woo pleasure doing business with you.

I just thought my mom was like, were postponing christmas this year. Were putting it off until january. And i was like, this woman. [ laughter ] what a bad bitch [ laughter ] just moving christmas .

Yes, i was also homeschooled. Seth how was that . How was being homeschooled bad [ laughter ] it was i mean, it was fine. It was just there were a lot of gaps my parents are very, very christian and no judgement. [ laughter ] but for their lifestyle choices. [ laughter ] and they so theres a lot of stuff they didnt want us learning like sex and evolution, but in not teaching us that stuff, they missed a lot of other stuff. Like everyday, im shocked to learn about like a new state you know [ laughter ] i had no idea there were two dakotas. [ laughter ] and why . Really you know, thats the question. Why do we need two of them [ laughter ] ill let you guys answer that for yourselves but, for me, it was like a mystery. Seth you were you were then nationally ranked bible quizzer . Yeah. This was one of the, like ways they got me out of house was one of my extra curriculars was bible quizzing and i was excellent at it. Seth wow [ laughter ] i crushed i crushed the bible. [ laughter ] yeah, at one point, i knew like the first eleven chapters of acts, verbatim i knew the first like Nine Chapters of john, verbatim every season you would pick a new book [ light laughter ] seth has it does it stick with you do you remember any of it . They ask me this. I was like, i think like the john stuff, like it is unfortunate. Ive killed so many brain cells off.

The light shining from the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. Thats all thats all i got seth that was really good. I mean [ cheers and applause seth that was really good. Wow seth a very of all the things i thought i would be doing on late night tv, reciting the first seven, like verses of john was not one of them seth well, i bet that of all the things that people who watched you in the bible quiz competition thought you would be doing this year, would be adapting jane austen, an all gay jane austen. Yes . Yes seth so, they i think both of you are in unexpected places yeah, exactly [ laughter ] seth so, explain this project real quick yeah. I mean, it started as sort of a joke that i made to my friends while i was on vacation in fire island. For those of you who dont know, it is an all gay island.

Marine Lieutenant Colonel and combat aviator she is currently running for senate in kentucky please welcome to the show amy mcgrath. [ cheers and applause seth welcome to the show its great to be here seth so you came close you came about three points away from flipping a district in kentucky blue, and now youre running to unseat Mitch Mcconnell in the senate race [ cheers and applause before all of that before all that, you flew fighter jets in the marines. Yeah. Seth there you are right there. And i have to ask. What was your call sign . Well, let me just preface this by saying call signs in the marine corps are not exactly flattering okay seth so, you dont pick your own call sign . No. Seth okay. The other aviators pick it for you and usually its trying to make fun of you seth okay. Okay . So my call sign was krusty, after krusty the clown seth okay. [ laughter ] i had big hair that stuck up. Seth uhhuh. And when i put my cover on, it would stick out and, you know, the guys thought that was really funny. [ laughter ] seth were you heart broken when you first heard that it was going to be krusty cause you had to know, of course, that was going to be permanent. Yes, and so, you know, it was hard for me to explain to my mom. Like, whats your call sign . Krusty. You know, thats kind of like [ laughter ] but but eventually, i became one with the call sign and you know what . Ive heard so much worse seth yeah. Call signs that like, i just love krusty now. Seth thats good im like fine with krusty [ laughter ] seth so youre running against Mitch Mcconnell. I think its fair to call him both deeply uncharismatic, but also very effective at certainly delivering on the things that his party would want him to deliver on yet hes very unpopular. I think hes often times polls as the most unpopular senator. Yet in kentucky donald trump, very popular how do you run against a republican in the state where donald trump is this popular well, i mean, i think if you look at the reasons why people voted for donald trump, for many people, they wanted an outsider. This is the system that is not working for so many kentuckians. And you know, Mitch Mcconnell is the epitome of a dysfunctional system he created the swamp that donald trump said he was going to drain so i think, you know, thats my way there. Thats my message. You know, if you want to drain the swamp, you have to get rid of Mitch Mcconnell seth but dont [ cheers and applause dont you think that even if Mitch Mcconnell wasnt there it strikes me that even though he ran as someone who wanted to drain the swamp, we found certainly in the three years since as far as somebody who hires lobbyists and doesnt seem to actually have any interest in draining the swamp but even without mitchmcconnell i think we would have Donald Trumps swamp in d. C. Wouldnt you agree with that but i also think, you know, for folks in kentucky, a lot of people get it, the fact they feel that Mitch Mcconnell has, you know, turned their backs on them they feel that, you know, he represents and really is bought off my special interests and so people are tired of that. And, you know, im a bit of an outsider i was a military officer for 20 years im somebody that didnt grow up within the political system. And i really think we need new people a new generation of leaders in this country, particularly to take out folks like Mitch Mcconnell. [ cheers and applause seth kentucky is a certainly a beautiful state. It is also a rural state its a red state its the kind of state the democrats have had trouble with in recent years. How, as a democrat, do you run in a red state like this one that donald trump won by 30 , but again as we mentioned you came within 3 cause i think if you were effective, it would be i think taken as a roadmap for Many Democrats in the south well, you know, i think many kentuckians are tired of both political parties. And i feel like they are looking for somebody who believes in things like character and courage and honor. And somebody whos not bought off by special interests, and i think that thats you know, my message has always been, lets put our country above our Political Party. You know, my husband im married to, a lifelong republican. And, you know hes hes spent 20 years in the navy we served our country. Thats what we care about. And, you know, the difference between Mitch Mcconnell and myself, the most fundamental difference and theres a lot of differences right . You know, both age and gender and Political Party, but the biggest difference is, you know, i will work with any president to do whats right for kentucky, no matter whether he or she wears a red jersey or blue jersey and thats the most important thing. And thats what i come from in the marine corps [ cheers and applause seth now, obviously, if you were in the senate, you may be in a situation to have to vote on impeachment youll come out and said you were proimpeachment can you talk us through that journey to come to that decision, and what it was based on well, for me, this is about a National Security concern. I mean, i look at everything from a National Security lens. Thats been my life. And, you know, we have the potential here for the commander in chief, who potentially withheld security aid, military aid, to a partner who is being invaded by our adversary think about that and did it for potentially personal political reasons and, you know, that to me is a National Security concern. And my oath i took the oath to defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and i took that oath six times in my life that oath is to the constitution and to the nation, not to a Political Party or not to a president. [ cheers and applause seth you mentioned your husband is a lifelong republican does that mean when you ran for congress, he cannot vote for you in the primary that is true. [ light laughter ] seth okay. That is true. Seth was that awkward, or . You know, it wasnt that awkward. We knew it was coming. Seth yeah. But the biggest thing, concern in our household right now, actually, i was back in the green room texting because the breaking news is that theres a ton of rain in kentucky, so they have potentially changed trickortreating. Right . And i have three small kids. And oh, my gosh. Halloween is very way more important than the senate race, i got to tell you. [ laughter ] and, you know, so im texting my mom friends like, is this true . When is trickortreating now . [ light laughter ] seth would you say being the mother of three small kids is easier or harder than being a Fighter Pilot . I would say its way harder seth okay, yeah. Its way harder [ laughter ] seth yeah, cause again, when youre up in that plane, no one can bother you thats right, i mean and things generally work you have some semblance of control with children, like no [ light laughter ] i mean, my middle child is george hes 5 years old, and i just love him dearly. And the other day i guess about a month ago he just decided he didnt like his name anymore [ laughter ] so he wanted to be called he will not be called george anymore, will not respond to it. He wanted to be called dark knight. Seth okay. [ laughter ] and so, you know, its really seth and thats crazy because you were probably between the two when you named him. [ laughter ] yeah. Seth so have you done it have you caved do you call him dark knight . Oh, i absolutely caved. Because, you know, you got whatever works seth yeah, exactly its like when my mom says, honey, whatever works. Seth yeah, thats i mean, i think thats the truest basically example of the fact you will work with any president no matter the party. [ laughter ] if youre willing to call a george a dark knight, you are a flexible person. Hey, whatever works [ laughter ] seth hey, thanks so much for being here awesome [ cheers and applause seth i really appreciate it. Amy mcgrath, everybody well be right back.
