Apparently, they have received Credible Threats from this terrorist organization. [ laughter ] Vice President pence said in an oped yesterday, that the u. S. Will lead in space again under the trump administration. Space . It took him two weeks to figure out how to get to puerto rico. [ laughter and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] according to reports, netflix is raising its prices next month. Ooh, that is going to be quite a burden on whoevers password im using. [ laughter ] jeff jeff something. The nypd recently arrested a mcdonalds manager for allegedly smuggling and selling thousands of dollars of crack cocaine inside customers orders. Police became suspicious when they saw thin people at mcdonalds. [ laughter and applause ] thats right. The manager was selling crack out of a mcdonalds. I guess im not surprised. Take a look at this recent picture of ronald mcdonald. [ laughter ] ladies and gentlemen we have a great show for you tonight [ cheers and applause ] she is one of our favorites. You know her from abcs scandal. Kerry washington is back on the show, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] hes on hbos fantastic new show, the deuce. Method man is here tonight. How bout that. [ cheers and applause ] and music from a great danish rock band, new politics is here. [ cheers and applause ] so youre here on a wonderful night. Before we get to that, as he continues to deal with the aftermath of his disastrous response to the humanitarian crisis in puerto rico, President Trump is now also dealing with an internal crisis. A simmering feud with his secretary of state. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth after his tour of puerto rico, where he chided Puerto Ricans for throwing the budget out of whack, and tossed paper towels into the crowd, like he was at the freethrow line, trump did what he always does. Bragged about his performance and made up a bizarre and completely unnecessary lie about how unprecedented his trip was. He told reporters on air force one, i think it meant a lot to the people of puerto rico that i was there. They really responded very nicely. And i guess its one of the few times anybody has done this. From what i am hearing, its the first time that a sitting president has done Something Like this. You think this is the first time a sitting president has visited hurricane victims . This isnt even the first time youve done it [ laughter ] you were just in texas and florida a few weeks ago. Remember . Oh, no you dont remember, do you . [ laughter ] this is turning into 50 first dates, but for hurricanes. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] in a way, though in a way, though, trump is right. This is the first time a sitting president has embarrassed himself this much while trying to comfort the victims of a natural disaster. For example, after he threw supplies at hurricane victims, the crowd literally had to tell him to stop. According to the washington post, trump passed out yellow bags of rice and then started tossing rolls of towels into the crowd. The crowd laughed and cheered him on. When he contemplated doing the same with the cans of chicken, the crowd gently told him no. [ light laughter ] oh, my god. Our president had to be told not to throw cans of chicken [ laughter ] at hurricane victims. I wouldnt be surprised if he only built trump tower so he could drop pennies off the roof. [ audience ohs ] [ laughter ] [ applause ] but of all of all of trumps missteps in puerto rico, theres one that is perhaps the most embarrassing, and also the most revealing. At the church where supplies were being handed out, he encountered a Church Member giving out Water Purification tablets. Basically, these tablets turn dirty water into clean drinking water. And not only could trump not believe it worked, he couldnt believe they were giving it away for free. Heres how that exchange went, according to the post. Wait, trump said, you put it in dirty water . And then you can drink it in ten to twelve hours, she explained. Would you do it . Would you drink it, he asked. Sure, she said. Really, trump said, a disgusted look coming across his face. Really, she said. Is this your company or something, trump asked the woman, seeming suspicious of the aggressive pitch. No, she said, im part of the church. [ laughter ] trump genuinely cannot contemplate doing something out of the goodness of your heart. He just assumes it must be a scam. So you give them the dirty water, but you say its clean . No, its clean. Oh, so you clean the water, but then you sell it for double the price . No, we give it away for free. Oh, i get it, so while theyre drinking the water, you go around and steal all their wallets . [ laughter ] but this this is yet another reminder to the evangelicals who support trump. He doesnt understand church. Whats jesus cut, 20 . [ light laughter ] thats very good. Thats a lot of cans of chicken. [ laughter ] but after embarrassing himself, insulting the people of puerto rico and repeatedly bringing up the financial cost of the recovery, trump out of nowhere seemed to throw puerto rico a potential lifeline. Right now the government of puerto rico is dealing with an economic crisis and billions of dollars in debt bought up by hedge funds and other wall street firms, who have blocked any attempt to allow puerto rico to restructure its debt or declare bankruptcy. But as trump was leaving the island on tuesday, he seemed to suggest he might support forgiving puerto ricos debt completely. Were going to work something out. We have to look at their whole debt structure. You know, they owe a lot of money to your friends on wall street. And were going to have to wipe that out. Thats gonna have to be you know, you can say goodbye to that. I dont know if its goldman sachs, but whoever it is, you can wave goodbye to that. Seth well, that would be easy. Ive been waving goodbye to things since you became president. Bye, constitution bye, good nights sleep bye, half the people i know on facebook [ cheers and applause ] but, forgiving puerto ricos debt would be a truly transformative step. It would go a long way to alleviating the suffering of Puerto Ricans, and make up for many of trumps missteps in handling the crisis. So naturally, his budget director, Mick Mulvaney went on tv the next morning to tell people, dont listen to the president. The president seemed to suggest that he is open to wiping out the puerto rican debt. Is that to be taken seriously on its face . I wouldnt take it word for word for that seth agreed. [ light laughter ] no one should ever take trump word for word. Its far more fun to take his words, and then put them in an order that you find interesting. I have wall street friends. I have a lot of money. I have butt hole. I have butt hole. I have butt hole. Goodbye. [ laughter and applause ] seth very proud of that. Of course, the president isnt content to botch just one crisis, which is why hes in the process of botching another, north Koreas Nuclear program. The International Community has been desperately pursuing every diplomatic angle to avoid what would certainly be a catastrophic war. And trumps own government has been working with the u. N. Security council, china, and even through back channels in north korea itself, to resolve the conflict peacefully. So once again, trump threw all that out the window when he tweeted out of nowhere over the weekend, i told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful secretary of state, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with little rocket man. [ light laughter ] save your energy, rex, well do what has to be done. So all the careful diplomacy and bargaining and angling just goes out the window with one tweet. Its like everyone is playing a intense game of jenga, and trump is the rambunctious golden retriever barging through the doggy door. [ laughter ] also, i wouldnt be too concerned that Rex Tillerson is expending a lot of energy. He looks like the guy sitting in a rocking chair outside the corner store who says, storms acomin, i can feel it in my knees. [ laughter and applause ] so trump has once again, undercut the diplomatic efforts of his secretary of state, which has happened so many times, that tillerson apparently threatened to resign over the summer. According to a report yesterday from nbc news. But the fact that tillerson threatened to resign is not the most damning part of this story. That, of course, had to do with what tillerson called trump behind his back. At a meeting at the pentagon, with the president S National Security team, there were cabinet officials, white house officials, the president attended. He left. The group was gathering, there were a number of people around. And the secretary called the president a moron. Seth wow. And tillerson has that great texas accent, so you know he really stretched it out. That guy is a moreron. [ laughter ] now, obviously, this story was based on anonymous sources, and the state department denied it, which is why msnbc did their own reporting on exactly what tillerson said and issued an important clarification later that day. My source didnt just say that he called him a moron. He said an effing moron. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] seth this story keeps Getting Better and better. Seriously. I cant wait for the next update. Oh, here it is right here. Sources have further clarified that tillerson called trump a straight up nosepicking, mouthbreathing, missed a beltloop, [ bleep ] moron. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] tillerson, of course, was forced to issue a statement at a hastily arranged press conference yesterday, where he took the extraordinary step of trying to assure the American People that the president is not, in fact, a moron. Let me tell you what ive learned about this president , whom i did not know before taking this office. He loves his country. He puts americans and america first. Hes smart seth man, to think a guys a moron, and then be forced to publicly say hes smart. I guess when your name is rex, youre going to be good at rolling over. [ audience ohs ] good boy, rex good boy oh, stay away from the jenga [ applause ] now, yesterday, while he was in las vegas, trump was asked about the tillerson story and his comments afterwards. He could not stop himself from attacking the media. Watch as he keeps saying thank you as if to stop talking and then continues to ramble. Yeah, im very honored by his comments. It was fake news. It was a totally phony story. Thank you very much. It was made up. It was made up by nbc. They just made it up. Thank you all. Thank you. Total confidence in rex. I have total confidence. Thank you very much, everybody. Seth you can almost see the angel and devil on his shoulders wrestling for control. Say it was fake news. No, say thank you and leave. Call it a phony story walk away, and dont throw chicken cans throw the chicken throw it no, throw the paper towels, but not the chicken. Throw the chickens, but wrap it in a paper towel so they think its soft [ cheers and applause ] [ laughter ] were in a truly extraordinary situation where the president is fighting with his own secretary of state, as he faces multiple Foreign Policy challenges. In fact, cabinet officials are apparently now so concerned about the president s volatility that several of them have forged an agreement to quit if trump tries to fire one of them. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson, defense secretary jim mattis and treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin reportedly have forged a suicide pact, in which all three members of President Trumps cabinet would leave if one of them became a target of the president. Jesus, so three cabinet officials have to ban together to deal with their out of control boss. Theyre treating him like hes Dabney Coleman in 9 to 5. [ light laughter ] and before you say that was a dated reference, they were all at the emmys [ laughter ] so this is the situation were in. Cabinet officials are forming suicide pacts to protect each other from the president. The president is volatile, unstable, incompetent, in other words a moron. Seth no, thats not it. An effing moron. Seth yeah, thats it. This has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] well be right back with kerry washington, everybody.

A lot of the political commentary goes great with the 1yearolds. Yeah. So [ laughter ] so congrats. Seven years of scandal. Its really amazing. Crazy. Its crazy. Seth and i think now, its sort of easy to forget what a big deal it was to be an africanamerican female lead on a Network Television show. It hadnt happened in a long time when we started. It had been almost 40 years since there had been a black woman leading a tv show. Seth thats crazy. I know theres progress still to be made, but i really think started a trend. Now theres tons of shows with black female leads. Seth its great. Its awesome seth yeah. Yeah. [ cheers and applause ] and also, you know and also, indianamerican lead. Seth yeah. Southeastasian and asian and latin, and all kinds of people leading shows. Which is true, because all kinds of people live lives. Seth yeah, its good. Theres a lot of stories to tell about those lives. Yeah, thats right. Seth the other thing that i feel started with scandal, or at least i became aware of, is you guys really connected with your fans online. Yeah. Seth really livetweeting. Seth an intense livetweeting connection with your fans. Will you miss that . I think so. I think when people it ask me like, oh, what are the things youll miss about playing her . Its a little hard, because i dont its a little bit like asking me what its going to be like break up with somebody im still in love with. Seth yeah, right . Right, like i really still love the show and were still having a great time. But i am. I am going to miss that community. Like, every thursday night, the live tweeting. Were, like, in it together. Experiencing these crazy twists and turns. Seth you watched it together. We did as the cast. Seth and since youve watched the premier. And this is just a nice photo of the cast. But i do have a question about what glasses are you wearing . Theyre strange googlyeyeglasses. Seth uhhuh. Because why not . Seth yeah. Yeah. [ laughter ] seth you in those glasses is a bigger twist than anything ive ever seen on scandal. [ laughter ] i think halloween is coming up. Seth yeah [ light laughter ] those are my eyes at the end. Its a big ending of the episode shocking results. Seth see thats what you should have said. You shouldnt have said those arent my glasses. Thats what i saw the twist. I was like wahh. Seth and uh that is kind of how i felt, really. Seth you ive heard you take a memento from every part you play. I do. Seth so do you know what youre taking . Well i cant tell you on national television, because then when the prada bags are missing. Seth oh, right, yeah. [ laughter ] but wait, now that doesnt seem like a memento. That seems like youre just stealing a purse. But its not one purse. Seth okay, gotcha. [ laughter ] its like 20 purses in various colors to match every outfit. Seth i thought it was going to be my lucky coffee mug. But this is just theft. No, no, no, they mean a lot to me, these bags. Seth yeah, i bet. Seven years of memories in every Single Beautiful bag. [ laughter ] seth it was a very welldressed character. Shes still living, by the way. Not was. She is a very welldressed character. Seth im so sorry. And shes still carrying prada bags. For 18 more episodes. Seth thats true. I apologize. I did not mean to rush ahead. Lets live in the moment, enjoy the fact this is now a time where its legal for you to have those bags. [ laughter ] and that time will come to an end. Im saying this as your lawyer. You you put this up on social media. You were you had very good at a boyz ii men concert. I did. Look at that. Seth this is look at that. I did not zoom in. Thats where i was sitting. Seth yeah, thats great. It was amazing. Seth how was the show . It was phenomenal. They had roses. Obviously, when they sang bended knee. For all of the older folks here. Seth oh wow. You know bended knee is like a romantic song. And i got a rose. I was hoping i would get a rose. Seth wow. How many roses do they have . They had like 70. But i was excited to get one [ laughter and applause] seth so is it now how does one of them hand out a rose while the other guys are refilling their roses . Well they you know, they riff, so the guy who is singing is the guy who hands the rose, which means like you get notes sung at you while youre getting the rose. Seth wow. Its really extraordinary. Seth i have a shameful thing about boyz ii men in my past. Why do i want to know . Seth well, i dont know tell me if i should feel ashamed about it. Okay. Shame, shame seth yeah, exactly. Yeah. Seth and then we will get to game of thrones, because i know we share a love of that. All right, so i was my class treasurer in high school, okay . Oh. Seth and i had to count the votes for what the prom song was. And what it should have been was its so hard to say goodbye to yesterday and i faked the vote for something else. [ laughter ] [ audience ohs ] you were like the russian hacker of the music at your prom . [ laughter ] seth i hacked yeah, yeah. Thats horrifying seth and instead it was just a spoken word donald trump album. Ahh seth i feel bad. Ive always felt bad. What was the song that you chose instead . Seth a van morrison song. Its awful, yeah. Talk about white privilege. Honestly honestly you should have these guys on your show as reparations. Seth yeah, youre right. I should.

Youve gotten to know or you at least got to meet the obamas. Yes to know them, yes. Seth ive heard you say that when youve been asked before, are you friendly with them. And you said youre friends with them in your imagination. Yes. Seth okay. Im friendly with them in person but in my mind were like besties. Seth gotcha. Yeah. But i feel like a lot of people feel that way about the obamas. Seth you dont have to meet them more than once to feel incredibly connected. Yeah theyre very present. Seth and then you have to remind yourself i dont know if you felt this way the next time you see them, you have to tell yourself, they have only met you once. Theyve only met you once. [ laughter ] its true. Its true. I watch them every day, but theyve only met me once. Seth you cant walk up be like, hey [ light laughter ] whats up . Whats up .

Seth it is an amazing we just started we just broke ground on a bronx childrens museum, with which my mother spearheaded. Seth thats really exciting yeah [ cheers and applause ] seth so your mom is still, it sounds, vitally connected to the bronx. She is.

With a straight face, too. Seth okay, gotcha. Absolutely, the best liars. Seth and what where is the lying come from . Is it essential to being a good rapper . You know, i think its people building themselves up to a point where, you know, theyre gods. Seth uhhuh. As a matter of fact, i remember kanye west saying, i told you who i was. Seth yeah. Im a god seth right. [ laughter ] and thats exactly what it was. Seth so wait, are you telling me he might not actually be a god . Is that no kanye is a god. Seth kanye is a god. Okay.

Seth okay. [ cheers and applause ] yes sir. Seth so you are you are playing a pimp in new york in the 70s and was this your idea . Did you say i want an al sharpton look . Kind of. You know, i didnt actually use the al sharpton reference. But it was kind of in that vein. I really wanted ron oneill super fly. But, you know, i needed somebody east coastbased and al sharpton was the greatest target i could use right there. Seth oh, thats fantastic. And obviously, you live in new york. Youre from Staten Island. Yeah. Seth you grew up, did you did you experience that times square at all when you were young . Me and my dad, yeah. He would take me there on easter to times square. I mean seth so that doesnt seem like where you would take a child on easter. [ laughter ] you know what, youre right. But, the way i remember it, i just remember the bright lights. The big city. The movie theater, how it actually looked like a theater, where you could do a play or something at. It was like for a young guy, a young kid, we didnt see the underbelly of it. We just saw the glamour and the glitz. And that was the point. Seth thats interesting. Because i think, the first time i came here, i wouldnt of i didnt notice the seediness at all, either. You were so taken by the fact that it was new york city. Right. Seth when you say movie theaters so what were the things that you that your dad would take you to see . Would you guys bruce lee. Seth okay. Bruce lee movies. Im a big bruce fan. Everybody who knows me knows i love bruce. [ cheers and applause ] and i remember godzilla versus megalon. [ cheers ] come on. Godzilla fans in here . [ cheers and applause ] thats what im saying. Seth and was your was your dad going because he knew you liked it, or did he also like it . I believe he liked it. But i think it was more of a showoff thing. Because we both had on, like, these denim onepiece suits. [ light laughter ] really tacky. Seth really tacky . Really tacky. And i dont know where he found one in my size but we were twins that day. Seth thats great. Thats really fun. Its easter, lets get in our denim and go see godzilla. Go see [ laughter ] seth just as the bible tells you. So, this is the other great thing about new york. And someone like you, youre obviously part of this new york social scene, new york celebrity. And weve had so many people on this show since the election that have admitted they crossed paths with donald trump. Yes. Seth or he was just here. He was everywhere. You actually got donald trump to record something for your album. Yes, yes. Thanks to russell simmons. He russell is a friend of his. And russell called in a favor. Because i just wanted a bunch of different cameos on my album, saying, you know, where is this album at. Because it had really been four years since i dropped my first album. Seth yeah. And you know, and donald trump dialed in and did russell a favor. And, you know, him and russell are really tight. Then i think russell said, i rebuke you satan and that was the end of it. Seth yeah. Yeah. [ light laughter ] seth but this is this is if you were listening to a method man album, you would actually hear this on one of the tracks.

And there was something about his style that you were drawn to. What style is that . Seth just like excess. Oh, he doesnt give a [ bleep ]. He doesnt give a [ bleep ]. Yeah. Pretty much. And that is a credo in hiphop, not to give a [ bleep ]. Seth if he [ light laughter ] if he could rhyme, i think he would have an excellent rap career. He doesnt have the voice. His voice is annoying. I think melania would have a better career. Seth melania, yeah. Yes. You know we love white women. Come on. Seth melania at the very least could stand in the back with fatigues, just like one of those things. Yes. Shes cute. I cant even melania is a very cute lady.

How are you with approaching fans . Well, you know what . Its a slippery slope, okay . For me, being from where im from, because im just one foot out the hood. Im keeping it 100. I clean up really good. But when i take this off, when i go backstage, im throwing on my sneakers, my hoodie, and my jeans, all right . The worst thing the fan could do to me is is say, remember me. All right, because that could be anything. You remember me . Am i supposed to . Seth right. [ light laughter ] or its the fist ball up, like, no, i dont remember you, but what . You know . You never know how to take it. Because ive been in the game for so long. And, you know, most of my past is a blur. Seth right. I think i can remember the last five years of my career. Seth all right. The rest is a full blur. Yall are supposed to laugh at that. [ laughter ] im joking. Im joking. But you tend to run into a lot of people, and now with these camera phones and all that stuff, you know, youre taking pictures and they expect you to know them. I remember you and kerry were just talking and you said something about meeting the obamas maybe once or twice. You cant just run up on them, be like, hey girl. How you been . Same deal.

And i appealed to david simon, one of the writers on the show. And he gave me a nice, long page. Then they killed me. Seth yeah.
