Announcer tonight on late night with seth meyers. John mulaney nbc News White House correspondent Kristen Welker music from Tracy Chapman featuring the 8g band with fred armisen and now se meyers. Seth welcome to late night. Hows everybody sorry, im just checking 5 38 okay lets get to the news. During a Campaign Rally in florida last night, President Trump suggested he might fire Infectious Disease expert dr. Anthony fauci after the crowd began a fire fauci chant. See, this is how you know fauci is beloved even a trump rally crowd didnt chant lock him up. Free fauci to pursue other opportunities after supporters chanted fire fauci, at the Campaign Rally in florida last night, President Trump suggested that he may fire fauci after the election, and said, quote, i appreciate the advice, and somehow a crowd in florida is still only his third worst adviser. Yesterday was the beginning of daylight savings time, because even though we live in a deeply divided nation, the one thing we can all agree on is sunset should be at 4 30. President trump on sunday campaigned in michigan, iowa, North Carolina, georgia, and florida, though with that many stops, he really only had time to shout some remarks from the line at cinnabon a caravan of Trump Supporters reportedly blocked three lanes of traffic on a new jersey highway for at least five miles by stopping their cars and waving protrump flags it was new jerseys worst traffic jam since at least two exits back two exits back, ed. [ laughter ] thats right. [ laughter ] the restaurant chain ihop has announced that it will close almost 100 locations over the next six months, which really sucks because after theyve been closed for a while, its really hard to get them open again. This is a syrup joke and should everything go the way we want it to, youre going to get a lot of syrup jokes in the coming months. [ laughter ] were just going set a new baseline where our observations are about syrup. Wont that be nice netflix announced last week it will raise its standard plan prices by 1 a month, or about 10 cents for each person on the account. We got a great show tonight. Fresh off hosting saturday night live this weekend, john mulaney will be here in studio shes a White House Correspondent for nbc news, who actually managed to keep donald trump in line for a whole debate Kristen Welker will join me. And this is so very exciting, we will have an inspiring performance from the legendary Tracy Chapman. That is worth waiting for. But before we get to all that, well here we are, everybody election day is tomorrow, and the president has settled on his closing message, promising to fire dr. Anthony fauci and threatening to prematurely declare victory and steal the election through the courts. For more on this, its time for a closer look. Seth were in the midst of the worth stretch of the coronavirus outbreak since it began, and the bleak reality will only get bleaker. With as many as a thousand americans dying a day, and nearly 100,000 new cases recorded on friday alone, the nation is crying out for leadership and with just one day left in the most consequential election of our lifetimes, the president has finally settled on his closing message. Like the great pavarotti, the singer, when you know, he was a very he was diva he was the greatest of all divas. He was an incredible talent with a most unbelievable voice. And ive gone to concerts where he would say no, no, no, no, i do not feel good i will not sing tonight, and hed leave [ laughter ] and then ive gone to somewhere it was the most unbelievable voice that ever lived. I mean, the greatest, right . Pavarotti. But he was he liked me, for whatever reason. He was very terrible to other people to me he was nice. He liked me. But he goes donald, donald, i will not sing tonight. I do not have a thousand people. I will not sing tonight because i do not feel i will leave tonight. And hed leave they say, ladies and gentlemen, hes just canceled. But when he was great, he was great. Seth ah, yes, just what your rally crowds are interested in the entertainments enjoyed by wealthy new yorkers. And how about david sedaris, folks. Oh, we love to read his dry, whimsical essays on our decks in bridgehampton. No way. What was the thinking behind telling that story mr. President , polling has you behind in the rust belt. Dont worry ill do my pavarotti chunk. Talking about pavarotti at a trump rally is like holding a yoyo ma night at a monster truck rally. Tonight at watkins glen, say goodbye to bulldozer and chello to yoyo monster. Theres so much to unpack from that clip. First, i love how trump says, but he liked me for whatever reason, basically admitting, that even trump doesnt know why anyone would like him. Second, no one swings more wildly between praise and criticism faster that trump, who says pavarotti is the greatest in one breath, and then he was very terrible to other people in the next pavarotti, voice of an angel. Heart of a calcified turd. Just a bad guy bad, bad guy. And third, Trump Supporters will follow trump anywhere, but even they had nothing but blank stares for that one. I know giuliani and scaramucci which ones pavarotti . And finally, was that long ass last story trump telling us if he loses, hell just walk away like pavarotti yeah, probably wishful thinking. He told it, right . Because right before he went on stage he saw a pizza box uh, looks like pavarotti. This is where trumps at his record is so horrendous, he has nothing else to talk about other than rambling incoherently about long dead celebrities who were nice to him 20 years ago. In fact, with basically one day left in the preelection news cycle. Trump decided that regaling his crowds with bizarre backstage encounters with Opera Singers wasnt enough. So he decided to close out the campaign by threatening to fire the nations top Infectious Disease expert dr. Anthony fauci, a man whose popularity in polls far exceeds trumps. Fire fauci fire fauci fire fauci fire fauci fire fauci fire fauci fire fauci fire fauci fire fauci dont tell anybody, but let me wait til a little bit after the election seth youre going fire one of the countrys most trusted scientists in the middle of a pandemic who are you going to replace him with zombie pavarotti only the fake news says he is dead, folks. We gave him a shot of regeneron right in the ass and now he is good as new. Luciano, sing a few bars for us. Brain give me the brains i cant believe this is trumps closing message for the last day of the campaign. Trump says stuff like this because he doesnt think hes accountable to Public Opinion. Remember, he lost the popular vote, escaped impeachment and has never had a majority approval rating. Once in his presidency, he thinks our antidemocratic institutions like the senate and the Electoral College and the Supreme Court will protect him and hes been broadcasting as much, announcing that hell use the courts to potentially steal the election by prematurely declaring victory and shutting down the count axios reported that the president claims to declare victory tuesday night if he appears to be, quote, ahead. Of course, some states like pennsylvania may well show early leads for the president based on the sameday vote. That would be before mailin ballots where democrats are expected to have an advantage in pennsylvania are counted i think its terrible when we cant know the results of an election the night of the election in a modern day age of computers. I think its a terrible thing. Were going to go in the night of as soon as that elections over, were going in with our lawyers. Seth first of all, do you even have any lawyers left most of them have quit, gone to jail or have been tricked by borat. If youre going to need rudy on Election Night, give him a heads up now so he can start tucking in his shirt hold on, i got to lay down in the bed, then roll onto the floor, then crawl to the phone, to call someone to help me up. I usually call my cousin, aka my wife. Secondly, you never know the official [ laughter ] still works on shoemaker, guys i got a very small sample size to know these callbacks are working. Second, we never know the official final results on Election Night those are just projections based on partial vote counts election day itself is mostly an invention of tv and radio like jingles. Before radio and tv, no one ever gave you their telephone number via song can i call you some time sure my number is kars kars for kids you know what, just say no if you dont want me to call you, just say no the actual votes are tallied and then certified days or weeks after the election and then the Electoral College meets in december to make it official thats always how its worked. Thats why president ial inaugurations used to be in march. Back in the day it took so long to find out who won. One guy became president and then immediately died. Somebody should do a musical about that guy my name is william henr harrison oh, [ bleep ], it works. Oh, broadway, here we come what why not . Closed, why . Oh, right. The pandemic theyre making their strategy as clear as they can. Republicans have been in court desperately trying to throw out ballots in states like texas, wisconsin, minnesota and pennsylvania theyre not just saying the quiet part loud, theyre screaming it on sunday, Trump Campaign officials an overinflated football, jason miller lied about the vote counting process and said that if trump seems to be ahead on Election Night, hell prematurely declare victory and try to stop the remaining ballots from being counted. If you speak with many smart democrats, they believe that President Trump will be ahead on Election Night, probably getting 280 electorals, somewhere in that range and then theyre going try to steal it back after the election seth by steal it back, you mean count all the votes, you funko pop . Theres no magic cutoff where you guys get to suddenly just decide the election is over. If you can just declare yourself the winner whenever youre ahead, the jets wouldnt be 08. Theyd be a still terrible, 26. Tv News Networks have to be careful with this because its extremely dangerous. We have to be prepared as a nation for early returns in places like pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin and minnesota to differ significantly from final vote tallies as mail ballots are counted. Even if biden wins pennsylvania by five points, as the polls currently suggest, the disproportionate number of democratic mailin votes means we could be in a situation where trump is ahead by as much as 16 points on Election Night. And if that happens, you know he is going to run out on stage and declare himself the winner and barricade himself in the white house with a years supply of diet coke and three to five melanias. My favorite is morpheus melania. And my least favorites the one who wont hold my hand. Which is why if trump decides to just declare victory, tv networks should refuse to air it, or at the very least make clear that its meaningless. You cant just declare yourself president any more than i can go to the mall and declare my dad new hampshires sexiest man. Though, tell me im wrong. There is virtually no dispute about whos actually going to win more votes so this is all trump and his allies have left, cheating the president and Republican Party have left the nation in tatters after four years of crisis, incompetence and greed so they have nothing to run on, which is why they built their entire Campaign Strategy around whipping up fear and calling anyone who opposes them an angry mob. It is clear the media mob is full of liars. The media mob, of course aiding and abetting and protecting fragile joe. Theyve decided to be activists for the leftwing mob. Right now the mob has a voice in the democrat party. Joe biden capitulated to the radical leftwing mob. Bidens strategy is to surrender to the leftwing mob he wants to surrender your nation to the radical leftwing mob. There is only one thing standing between your family and the radical leftwing mob. Seth first of all, im not sure i would use the word mob when your guy dresses like he just got done strangling luca brasi looks like hes about to pour kerosene on an informant tied up in the basement. Its so hard to get the smell of gas out of fine italian leather. And have pavarotti tickets tonight. He likes me, for whatever reason. But the reality of course is that trump and his allies dont hate mobs at all in fact, they like them plenty when theyre the ones forming the mob, as we saw in texas on friday a campaign confrontation on a texas highway. A caravan of President Trump supporters surrounded a biden harris bus as it was traveling from san antonio to austin friday. A Biden Campaign official says the vehicles tried to slow the bus down and even push it off the road 911 was called by people inside the bus, and tonight the fbi has confirmed to nbc news it is investigating that incident the president just moments ago, tweeted this in reply, quote, in my opinion, these patriots did nothing wrong. There is a biden bus, and its surrounded by pickup trucks on a highway, all with trump signs. I mean, it is ordinary americans just taking this election into their own hands. Listen, i saw yesterday a video of these people in texas did you see it yeah all the cars on the road with the we love what they did, but heres the thing they dont know we do that in florida every day. You see the way our people, they they were protecting his bus yesterday, because theyre nice seth yeah, sure, they were protecting the bus the same way a loan shark helps you find your wallet and cool shout out to his home state from rubio there florida, we also terrorize our buses. I mean, my god, this guy how did i do, mr. President you like my speech . [ bleep ] off little marco. Have some respect for yourself. [ laughter ] the constant cheating, threats of physical violence in addition to being terrifying, its all so exhausting, which is why weve all been anxiously awaiting this moment for four years. And for that reason it feels surreal to finally be here i probably started thinking about the 2020 election the moment trump was declared the winner in 2016 and judging from trumps face that night, i wasnt alone wow, its like when the teacher says oral reports are today, and just for kicks, lets go into reverse alphabetical order thats him after he asked oh god, how long is this job anyway a month, six weeks four years is that human years or dog years . Before you answer, which one is longer . And now were finally here, in the final days Trumps Campaign has predictably turned vicious and ugly with his supporters calling for virtually anyone who opposes trump to be in prison from joe biden to hillary clinton, to gretchen whitmer, to ilhan omar. Joe biden is a corrupt politician who bought and is paid for look, hes bought and paid for by china how about his son . His son walks in he is supposed to be fair. [ crowd noise this place was a mess four years ago, and frankly, if your governor opened up your state [ indisernable chanting you think ilhan omar, thats one of the reasons were going win minnesota, because ilhan omar. Didnt she harvest i heard she ballot harvested, didnt she so where is our Justice Department in fact, crazy hillary, crooked hillary came in. [ boos ] here we go watch. There we go. They always blame me whatever that chants thats all i do is mention her name lock her up lock her up. Lock her up. Lock her up. Seth im not sure the democrats are an angry mob theres only one side of this race that encourages their supporters to scream lock them up about anyone they dont like they sound like they should be holding torches and chasing frankenstein lock them up in the castle with zombie pavarotti. At what point can we just call this fascism and by the way, to the people who think calling trump a fascist its left wing hysteria, you can be a fascist without being hitler or mussolini, the same way you can be a basketball player without being lebron james or Michael Jordan or hell, barack obama ah your honor [ laughter ] walk off. Thats what i do. [ laughter ] thats what i do oh. Allnet seth nothing summarizes the democrats right now more than that clip. Yeah, thats our guy the one who made the shot . No, no the allnet guy oh, well, thats good too. Anyway, the point is the president is closing out an ugly and vicious four years with a series of ugly and vicious rallies. But when he is not revved up, calling for the imprisonment of his political opponents or for valid votes to be tossed out, he seems to lose a lot of steam in pennsylvania on saturday, he was so dare i say, low energy, he almost seemed like a man who knew he was going to lose. They hate what theyre seeing because theyre not looking at fake suppression polls anymore now theyre looking at the numbers that are pouring in. And they dont like the numbers that theyre seeing in florida, and in ohio, and in North Carolina it could have been the greatest. You know, if you look, we look at the amount of money that he has raised hundreds of millions, 300 million one month but i could have been the greatest of all time seth yeesh did he eat an entire thanksgiving turkey before this speech was it cooked . He sounds like your burnout uncle falling asleep on the couch of the lions bears game. You know, i played football in high school. I was going to go pro until i broke my tailbone in a buttchugging accident i could have been the greatest of all time. All time. Look, i get it trumps tired. We all are one of the many things you can say about the trump era and about this campaign is its been exhausting just four years of constant crises, latebreaking news midnight votes and 3 00 a. M. Tweets in fact, on friday trump screamtweeted yet another incoherent rant, which he implied that he wants the Supreme Court to stop the counting of mailin ballots to help him win President Trump tweeted this morning that if biden is elected, the four justices that voted in favor of the ballot extension would be relegated to sitting on not only a heavily packed court, but probably a revolving court. He said at least the many new justices will be radical left. Seth i dont know whats crazier, that the president tweeted that at 2 57 a. M. , or that the first time i read plus1, i assumed it was him trying to spell pelosi trump cant run on reality so he has to run against it. Because the reality is that after four years of serial cruelties, absurdities, lies and abuse of power, he has left the nation in ruins. Half a million new covid cases in just one week hospital icus filling up. Eight million new people in poverty. A quarter of all households struggling with food insecurity. Tens of millions facing eviction and homelessness, wildfires supercharged by climate change, civil unrest over systemic racism protesters brutalized, police, federal agents teargassing protesters and snatching them in unmarked cars. Armed right wing gunman patrolling the streets migrant families children still missing their families to this day. A Postal Service near collapse weird handshakes and flag hugs umbrella ditching and dance moves where he looks like a tortoise flipped on his back and a president so soulless and corrupt, hes fought with gold star families, called war heroes losers been impeached had multiple lawyers, aids and Campaign Chairman indicted faced at least 26 allegations of sexual assault, obstructed justice, broke election laws by paying hush money to a porn star extorted a foreign country, had his charity dissolved. Tax returns subpoenaed, had a secret chinese bank account while he was president paid 750 in taxes and bilked taxpayers out of 8 million, including 3 for a glass of water. Maybe thats why he is always so careful with it. Cant spill any every drop costs 50 cents. And on top of everything else, he forgot the words to the National Anthem and god bless america. So proudly we hai at the twilights last gleaming land that i lov stand beside her and guide her seth the president of the United States sings our most patriotic songs like a lapsed catholic faking their way through the call and response at easter mass. In the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit. Booyah its booyah, isnt that booyah . This is it this is our chance to put an end to the cruelty, the abuses of power, and the criminal neglect. Trump incites violence and threatens to cheat because he wants us to feel like he is inevitable, that he is insulated from Public Opinion and democratic accountability, that nothing and no one can stop him. Tomorrow is our chance to prove him wrong. Its in our power to repudiate trump. And all he stands for in overwhelming numbers its our chance to save our democracy. And if we succeed this time tomorrow, trump could very well be on stage saying i will leave tonight. Seth this has been a closer look. Seth well be right back with john mulaney. Alright, everyone, we made it. My job is to help new homeowners who have turned into their parents. Im having a big lunch and then just a snack for dinner. So were using a speakerphone in the store.

But i got home, and i was looking in the pockets, and i found these. Seth oh, man so i texted him a photo i said, hey, you know, you left these. Do you want me to have someone drop them off .

Thats very nice of you to say. Seth i worked for you then, worked with you then when we were yeah. Seth writers on the show. You did not work for me seth i didnt work for you i very much worked for you. Seth but you auditioned and were hired as a writer august 7th, 2008. Seth august 7th, 2008. Yeah. Seth you had a long, fruitful run as a writer on the show yeah. The best time. Seth and yet now, youve hosted more than any of the cast members from that era. Do you feel like lorne at some point has to come to you and say we got it wrong . Oh, in not casting me seth yeah. Um, no. No, no, no uh, no because the cast was bill hader, will forte, Jason Sudeikis im just talking about the males, my competition.

[ laughter ] and fred, you know seth thats how i describe you when people yeah. Seth say what kind of how you describe johns comedy . Hes funny for white brunette [ laughter ] and i like the use of brunette in general you dont hear it enough [ laughter ] blonde is thrown around, but brunette no, like, theres, i could not do what fred armisen does. I could not do what bill hader does i could not do what andy samberg does no one can do what will forte does seth yeah. And if more people could, theyd, you know, theyd put a stop to it [ laughter ] that cast was so good. The casts are so good. I never once thought i should be in the cast, you know . Seth yeah. It felt like when id write for bill, it was like writing for, like, jimi hendrix. It was like, i write the notes and he like lights the guitar on fire, or whatever jimi hendrix did. [ laughter ] but i thought i could do update, but you were doing update. Seth yeah.

Seth i think a lot of people are worried about insanity in the coming days, and also, a lot of people feel gratitude towards you for the sanity you brought to the proceedings in the second president ial debate. You even got positive feedback from President Trump what was it like hearing that he thought you did a good job well, first of all, thank you so much for your nice comments it was nice that people on both sides of the aisle felt as though it had gone well. My goal, really, seth, was just to make sure that it was a good discussion to prepare, i reached out to voters, undecided voters, democrats, republicans, independents, and so i got a sense of what voters wanted to hear about everything from health care to the economy. And so i really tried to bring that to the debate and i was really relieved that people felt as though it was a good discussion. That was my goal seth i had doubts about the mute button being effective. [ laughter ] but it seems, though, even the threat of one had an impact. And we did get to hear both candidates talk more i know prep is a key to any debate moderation. What did you plan for in the days leading up for it well, we literally planned for every scenario and in order to prepare, i mean, i spent hours every single day, from, like, 6 00 a. M. In the morning until midnight thinking about every single question, crafting every single question but part of the prep was just mental preparation so, i have to give props to my husband and also to cody rigsby, my peloton instructor, because i worked out with him like every day to relieve stress. And hes this great motivator. And he would say things like, i know youre feeling stressed i know everyones going through a lot. And i just wanted to say, cody, you have no idea what i am preparing for. So, thats how i got prepared and got through those days leading up to the debate seth i can only imagine there is a great deal of preparation for tomorrow as well one thing that everyone seems to be preparing for is, one, not knowing an outcome tomorrow, and two, the very real possibilities that the president will announce an outcome how are news anchors, News Reporters bracing for these two likelihoods . Were going to be prepared for any and all possibility, just like any breaking news event that we would be covering. And, really, seth, its just about giving people the facts, making sure that we are covering things in real time, as they happen, and making sure that were getting it right thats the most important part i think of being a journalist. And so thats what were going endeavor to do throughout the day tomorrow as we cover whats going to be a really historic election here. Seth you got sort of this high of praise as you could get. You were played by maya rudolph on snl. You must have known to some degree that was coming [ laughter ] what was it like seeing yourself portrayed on snl i have to say, i was almost as anxious thinking about being portrayed on snl as i was about doing the debate but what an honor to be portrayed by maya rudolph. She is one of my favorites i am just in awe of her as an actress, as a comedian i was literally had my face pressed against the tv like that, laughing, and just sort of screaming. It was a little surreal. And i thought she did a great job. It was so much fun i was glad there was a lot of focus on the candidates, as well i do have to say, though, seth, for the record, im not really a shot girl. I dont do shots that was a part of the skit. Im more of a Sauvignon Blanc kind of a girl but it was a lot of fun. Seth alright, that is good to know. [ laughter ] as far as what snl could get wrong about you, its not the worst. [ laughter ] exactly it was so much fun seth you avoided not only a disaster at the debate, but you also avoided a disaster a while back while you were with andrea mitchell, your colleague. Can we take a look at this clip real quick so it is quite remarkable its not exactly clear politics its a little windy out here, andrea seth i mean, really good maintaining of the composure there, kristen you know, i didnt have know that i had those reflexes until that happened. To be totally truthful, though, seth, it looked a lot scarier on tv and andrea, who i refer to as my d. C. Mom, had this reaction of just sheer terror. You can hear her gasp when those light stands started falling in front of me, and my mom said, you know, im so glad she reacted that way, because thats how i was reacting when i was watching on my living room couch. So i think she sort of brought what a lot of moms were feeling in that moment it was lot of fun, though, and i had some fun with it i started tweeting at the eagles, of course my Hometown Team im from philadelphia, and saying, you know, i was ready for the draft pick, which was going on at that time, so. Seth it was very nice that the eagles noticed and as a fellow football fan, i can only tell you when your Football Team knows you exist, there is no higher praise. Yeah. It was definitely a great, great day. And in fact, im in philly right now, seth, to cover the election in all of the lastminute Campaign Stops that are going on and so, really excited about the eagles win this weekend. Seth hopefully it will put everybody in a good mood and get them out to the polls tomorrow have a great day tomorrow. Thank you, seth seth really nice talking to you, kristen thanks for having me on i really appreciate it so much fun. Seth nbc news election coverage begins at 7 00 p. M.
