Seth my break was good it was a little long i had two weeks. You had a week, yes . I had seven days. I had the longest stretch of time i have ever had off in the decade i have had this job seth that is amazing yes, it was fantastic seth could you find a way to unplug are you okay at that no. Seth yeah. [ light laughter ] i heard you did some fishing i did i did some ice fishing seth in massachusetts, ice fishing. We had early ice in western massachusetts so i caught a chain pickerel and six yellow perch. Thank you. Seth thats great. Cheers. Seth yeah, i mean i feel like that not being a fisherman, that sounds good. About yay big. But, you know. I catch fish that other people call bait. Seth interesting [ light laughter ] thats very nice yes seth youre right at the bottom of the food chain i recently heard that you also do fishing around here yeah. Yeah, yeah seth this is something you do after your show yes, new york city is technically an island in the north atlantic seth we dont think about it that much. We dont think about it that way. Seth yeah. But it is possible to go fishing and to get some good fishing in in new york city, you can fish in central park in the harlem meer, and in the reservoir and the ponds. But you can also fish the east river and the hudson river i sometimes fish the piers on the hudson river after my show to wind down seth that doesnt seem safe or good. [ laughter ] have you ever eaten a fish out of the hudson river . No, no. Seth okay, gotcha. I mean, im out there fishing after midnight the good news is that the fish glow [ laughter ] so if you catch one, its very safe all of a sudden youve got illumination seth they glow like a neon, do not eat. Yeah yes, exactly. Theres never a if you pull a fish out of the hudson river, everything in your universe, every atom of your body says put it back, put it back, put it back, put it back. [ laughter ] seth right like theres no no instinct kicks in that says ingest this. Seth right, do the fish no. Seth have the fish of the hudson river evolved to the point where they can say to you, dont put me back, take me with you. [ laughter ] i want a contributor deal on msnbc. Can you hook me up seth so, this is obviously now were back at work, it is 2020. Its an election year, theres an impeachment going on and obviously we have the situation in iran. Which is escalating to the point that i know this is hard to even ask you to comment on, but were taping before your show tapes at 9 00. Yeah. Seth and then this show will air after that obviously, but there are reports of missiles being launched into iraq right now. Right seth into near or into u. S. Bases is that accurate from what youre hearing thats again, initial reports, and its hard to say because this will evolve over the course of the evening. But the thing about general soleimani, who was killed, is that he was the head of the quds force. What the quds force did in iran mostly, in the middle east, but world, outside of their borders. Also in latin america, and in africa, and far afield and so we really think of him as this guy who created the ability for iran to wage asymmetric warfare all over the world and thats really the kind of retaliation retribution weve been expecting from iran but then yesterday, the iranian leadership said, you know what, we plan to retaliate directly ourselves as the Iranian Military from iran because we dont need to hide this behind any proxy forces we want you to know it is coming from us. And nobody quite knew what to make of that that defied early expectations and now today weve got these reports that in fact iran has they say they have shot Ballistic Missiles at multiple u. S. Military facilities in iraq and weve got a lot of u. S. Military personnel in iraq about 5,000 people there, as well as a lot of other american troops all over the middle east. So if they have been able to fire either missiles or rockets into alasad and anbar provincln northern iraq. Thats a really big deal the u. S. Really started something here and maybe that was strategically wise, but you have to hope that the people in charge really, really thought this through. Seth now this is people in charge before trump have known that soleimani was a bad guy and have made the decision not to take this step that he took yeah. Seth and one of the things, some of the reporting has been that he was presented with a list of options of how to respond to recent iranian aggression and he chose the most extreme, which was to take out soleimani. Do you think its foolhardy for his advisors to ever give him an option that is so extreme that they think he wont take it . Yeah. [ light laughter ] your take on this on your show last night i thought was actually perfect you basically said, has anybody ever briefed these advisors on donald trump seth yeah. Because if you offer him a bunch of kind of normal ideas and one cuckoo for cocoa puffs idea seth yeah. Theres no reason to believe that cuckoo for cocoa puffs will seem at all different or less palatable for him. Seth of course especially seth especially because he wants to be the guy who did the thing that nobody has done before right . Yes, right. Seth and you want to be like, and this ones too crazy no ones ever done it. Youd have to be like a super kickass guy to even think about it [ laughter ] and hed go, hold on, go back to that one but i mean, it isnt the first time with this these things have Different Levels of consequence, but no u. S. Leader had ever thought it was a good idea to go hang out with the leader of north korea seth yeah. With the dictatorial, messianic, cuckoo leader of north korea. And trumps like, nobodys dont that hmm. Im in love. [ light laughter ] im going to go hang out with him. Im going to go to north korea he gets this sort of surface level, i think, cheers for that for people who like him already. But there isnt any part of his head that thinks, no other president has wanted to do this probably for a reason. Seth right and so, Something Like this, that other administrations had considered and rejected as being too risky for American National security we havent had an explanation as to why he thought this was worth it and why he did it now seth as you mentioned, you hope that there is some core competence behind the decision and preparing for the next steps. Yes seth but we have already seen some i think its fair to say, incompetence in the handling of this, up to and including, there was a press not a press release. What would you it was a letter to iraq telling them we were withdrawing. Seth yes that was a mistake. Seth yeah. Oops, can we have that back this is so freaking weird i cant even believe it. I mean, its one thing to think about Something Like this scooting its way out of the oval offense or trump blurting it out in front of a whirring helicopter but this was the actual pentagon. This was the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and the secretary of defense, and the two of them explaining within the past 24 hours that yes, the u. S. Military did deliver a formal letter on letterhead to iraq saying we respect your decision to tell us to leave, all our troops are leaving but when we sent that letter we didnt mean it it was a mistake it was a draft oops, i meant to hit recall, and instead i hit send seth yeah. Like, okay. If youre like an intern, or if youre this president , we got it [ laughter ] but when youre the chairman of the joint chiefs seth yeah. And so it just makes you worry that the incompetence that we expect, i think, at the level of the white house, even on National Security matters, might now be extended to things as serious as the defense secretary and chairman of the joint chiefs and thats really worrying also, in the 24 hourse since that has evolved, iraq has decided, well, listen, you sent the letter no backsies. Seth yeah. Were keeping it. We consider you to have formally notified us that all u. S. Troops are getting out of iraq. Seth it is a sitcom plot of like, you sent the letter weve got to get the letter back yeah. And iraqs like seth send the seals to get the letter back. And theyre like creeping into the mailbox and like recall, recall. Yeah, no seth i think, obviously, one of the craziest things happening right now is, you would think an impeachment of a president would be the stand out lead story in the news right now it is not. Right seth i guess we shouldnt be surprised that anything in the present will fade very quickly in the past based on the future. I mean, that seems to be how this is happening. Nothing holds for very long. Are you shocked at how quickly impeachment has faded and can we expect it to come back into the forefront of the news . Were still in the middle of it the most shocking news i have heard all year in 2020 so far is that impeachment was only 20 days ago. Seth yeah. Like, really . That wasnt 20 months ago . Seth right it feels like it has been i mean theyre still in the middle of impeaching him seth yeah. The house impeached him hes yet to have a senate trial. Theres been progress toward that today but we still dont know when thats going to happen and in the less than three weeks since he was impeached all this additional evidence has come out about the core allegations at the heart of the impeachment his National Security advisor, like his 35th National Security advisor john bolton has also said that he will testify if hes subpoenaed. Seth right thats a really big deal given what we know about boltons involvement in this thing. So thats still live, still evolving and still animating the president if you go by his twitter feed, which i dont recommend you do [ light laughter ] so its all still and by the way, iowa is in a month. Seth yep weve got the last or the next democratic debate happening within a week, except they might cancel it if it conflicts with the senate trial for the impeachment. The fight to replace donald trump in the white house in this democratic nominating process is the most consequential, most interesting democratic primary of my lifetime its like story number 16. Seth yeah. You know, in any given newspaper or on any given tv show so its just theres a lot going on at once there is a lot to absorb s t the minute and obviously, like us, youre creating a show day to day but you also found time to write a book yeah. Seth a very well researched boat book, which is about russia, and about ukraine, and about Natural Resources and yet the timing of this book, it was as if you wrote it on the day. Its weird. Seth because to write, obviously a couple years ago to decide im going to write about russia and ukraine, you never could have never predicted that right as your book comes out, russia and ukraine are in the news in a way that really ties into this book it was really weird i set out to write a book that i was really sure nobody unrelated to me would read [ laughter ] i was like ive been totally obsessed with the russia story from beginning from the beginng. I felt like the fact that russia doesnt have an economy, that their whole economy is based on oil and gas, and oil and gas tends to be a very corrupting thing, i felt like that was just like a piece of the puzzle that i was te wanted to do more research on, that maybe my family members i could guilt them into reading a small book about it. So i wrote this thing and then a week before the publication date, when i just received my first hard cover copy of the book oh, i wrote it its actually been published like, as i get my first copy of the book, nancy pelosi announces they are launching impeachment proceedings against the president for a Corruption Scandal involving the president , and ukraine and natural gas. I was like, i should be investigated [ laughter ] clearly i wagged the dog seth yeah. It ended up being so weirdly on the nose that im unnerved. Seth its a wonderful book you mentioned you thought maybe only your family would read it your parents do watch your show, yes . Yes, they do. Seth my parents watch my show every night do you get notes yeah. Do you think about it when youre doing the show . When youre doing something do you think, i wonder what my mom is going to say about this seth there are things its more that i do something and i will think, im going to hear about that from my dad. [ laughter ] yeah, i know what my mom thinks. She thinks that was the best show until the next one. Oh, right but your dad is like seth my dads like a little hell be like, did you notice im like, i did notice and i wont do it again. Is he disapproving or is he trying to be constructive . Seth oh, very constructive yeah. Seth and incredibly essential to every piece of success ive had in my life. Hes the one who kind of rounds off the edges. Whereas my mom is just like, you be quiet, hes perfect and he always has been. Oh, god thats great [ laughter ] seth what about you . How do you get it from my mom notices okay. So, i wear the same thing every day on tv. Ive been wearing the same uniform. I have three jackets seth what . I know, you can do this turns out, people dont care unless theyre your mother so i have three jackets and three shirts, and i just rotate them thats all seth yeah. Thats the secret of my visual success but my mom can tell theres one that has like a stray thread like, she gets very upset if i wear the velvet jacket in a month where you could buy oysters. Seth oh, interesting i see. Yeah you know, shes got seasonal concerns about what i look like and stuff. So i worry about that. Also, if i get anywhere i never swear on tv, but if i get anywhere near a swear word, its like, the antenna go up. Seth oh wow. The whole family responds i have to answer to everybody. Seth all right thats good. But it is nice to find out that because then, every now and then i would recommend just dropping an fbomb to make sure theyre still watching [ laughter ] exactly hey mom you still there . I know, exactly. Seth hey, thanks for making the time have a great show tonight. Its great to see you, thank you. Seth always good to see you.
