Because today he hopped on his computer and googled how to do state of the Union Address. [ cheers and applause ] no, thats the macarena, mr. President. Of course, trump has been practicing his speech ahead of time. While mike pence and paul ryan are practicing their im horrified but i cant show it face. [ laughter and applause ] but get this. I heard that Supreme CourtJustice Ruth Bader ginsburg will not be at the state of the union because of a previous commitment. When asked what she had to do, she said, oh, i just dont want to be there. [ laughter and applause ] i will steer clear of this. Some big news about the russia investigation. It came out that trump ordered the firing of Robert Mueller last summer. Even weirder, he ordered it through a mcdonalds drivethru. [ laughter and applause ] ill have two big macs, a diet coke, and the termination of Robert Mueller. [ laughter ] yes, a number four. Thank you. [ laughter ] its not a number four. Steve four. Jimmy but trumps lawyer allegedly told him that if he fired mueller, it would have a a catastrophic effect on his presidency. Then after a long pause, his lawyer said, that means bad, mr. President. [ laughter ] okay. I thought you meant we were going to be invaded by cat people. [ laughter ] because they already invaded. There will be cats driving cars. As if thats not enough, trumps in another twitter fight. Yeah. This time, hes feuding with jayz. [ laughter ] but on the bright side, its nice to see the president having beef thats not between two buns. [ laughter and applause ] ill have a number four. Actually, trump tweeted that someone should inform jayz that black unemployment is at its lowest rate ever under his presidency. But after all the cabinet members hes fired, white unemployment is at an alltime high. [ laughter and applause ] very interesting. Did you see this . In an interview with piers morgan, trump was asked about some controversial videos that he retweeted in november. Take a look at what he had to say. You know, retweet sometimes you do retweets are a very when you do your own tweeting or when you do your own social media, its fine. When you do those retweets, they can cause problems, because you never know who is doing it to start off with. [ laughter ] jimmy you see, when you retweet a tweet when the tweet is retweeted, thats how you tweet the retweets. Im the president of the united states. [ laughter and applause ] what is going what are you talking about . Well, a big sports story here.

I have so many things i want to ask you. Okay. Jimmy one is about your skunk situation. Whats going on . I heard that you got oh, were just straight to that one. Jimmy well, i mean, i read some article where you said this is like the third or fourth time you got sprayed by a skunk . It happens all of the time. [ laughter ] jimmy dakota, what what are you talking about . How does this happened . Ive never been sprayed by a a skunk. I dont know. Ive asked myself that every time it happens. [ laughter ] jimmy but where are you hanging out . Where am i hanging out . At my house. Jimmy in the woods . Like, what are you doing . One time it happened in the woods, but it happened to my one time it happened in the woods. Jimmy yeah. [ laughter ] no but what happened, your dog got sprayed . My dog got sprayed. I was in big sur, in like a a lodge and they dont have tomato juice in stock, i guess in the middle of the night jimmy what is big sur, im sorry, youre in a lodge like a hotel . Like a little well it wasnt, it was more like a a motel. Jimmy you were in a motel and you got a skunk in your room and sprayed you. The storys going in a weird direction. Jimmy and then it didnt have tomato juice, like this is bizarre. [ laughter ] no jimmy this is just unbelievable. In the middle of the night, the staff is not they werent there so i asked them jimmy i dont know where youre talking about. Where are we . [ laughter ] where are we and what staff . Were in big sur. Jimmy all right, but are you in a cabin somewhere . Yes, its a sort of lodge in big sur. Jimmy sorry. And so you go out to walk the dog . Well, no. I sort of jimmy they allow dogs at the hotel . Arent you supposed to let people talk on this show . [ laughter ] jimmy if they know what theyre talking about, yes what the hell are you talking about [ laughter ] im in big sur. I have my dog. I let the dog out in the middle of the night to go pee, naturally, as you do when you have a dog or when you are a a dog. Jimmy im not arguing this, yes. [ laughter ] and then he came back and he had been skunked. So i called the front desk, and there wasnt anybody there. And then finally i found like a a maintenance man. I asked if he could find some tomato juice, because thats what youre supposed to put on it but he didnt have any so he just gave me jimmy yeah, the maintenance guy didnt have any on him . No. [ laughter ] jimmy yeah. One would hope, you know. Tool belt, you know, a can of v8. You know, you got everything ready to go. Youve got your tomato juice. Jimmy youve got your tomato oh yeah.

Jimmy he had Fresh Produce on him . [ laughter ] well, they had some Fresh Produce somewhere in the kitchen. Jimmy so he gave you tomatoes and you had to make your own tomato juice . Yeah. Jimmy this is fantastic. And did it work . No, i just i cut them in half and i sort of just lined them up on top of my dog. [ laughter ] jimmy insane story. This is the most insane story. Then the next time it happened, i learned that there is actually this sort of concoction that you can make, which is also not convenient if it happens in the middle of the night if you are experiencing a a skunk, which is normally when it happens. Because they dont really hang out in the daytime. Jimmy yep. And so what is it . What is the concoction . Oh, god. Its like baking soda and then two parts Hydrogen Peroxide and then a certain kind of dish soap but not any other kind. Jimmy really . And i dont remember what kind. But its like make sure its the blue one and not the yellow one or whatever. And then you have to use a a certain amount of water and warm water. And then you wash yourself or your dog in it, depending on what got sprayed. [ laughter ] jimmy i dont know, man. This is just a bizarre story. All right. We love you. And i saw you at the Golden Globes. Oh, were moving on, okay. [ laughter ] jimmy is there more to cover is there more to cover about the is there another thing to talk about . But its the only thing i can talk about. Jimmy no, i want to talk about this, because the Golden Globes, you were great on the globes. I saw you.

Im not the only one. Elizabeth is like very blatantly looking at her. Shes like, what is she going to do . Jimmy yeah, yeah. And i was trying to be sly about it. [ laughter ] jimmy and chris is like, oh, boy. [ laughter ] yes. Jimmy oh, boy. Yeah, yeah. Nobody well, i honest truthfully, i dont think that i was really actually looking at her. Because if you look really closely at the angle of my eyes, theyre kind of like over here. [ laughter ] jimmy what were you looking at, though . Who were you looking at . Well, there was a table of there was like the actual kids table, which was the Stranger Things table. Jimmy oh, it actually was a a kids table . [ cheers ] yeah and i really love Stranger Things so much. Jimmy me too. Like so much. So i tried to send my friend which was like the thing that i hate the most, when people are in restaurants or whatever, when they try to take a sneaky picture of you like this. Jimmy oh, yeah, and you can tell. Yeah, its so obvious. So i did that at the Golden Globes. [ laughter ] in front and everybody there is a famous person. But i was like trying to take a a video of these kids. [ laughter ] jimmy oh, my god. Theyre children. I know jimmy how stalkery of you. I know and theyre very under age, too. And i was like zooming in. But then i also accidentally caught maybe ridley scott was asleep. Jimmy ridley scott was sleeping during the Golden Globes . But then i think maybe he was just looking at his phone. But it looked like he was asleep jimmy i think we have your phone video. Oh, okay, thats great. Jimmy lets see what youve got there. Oh, yeah. [ laughter ] jimmy could be i dont think hes asleep. No, hes just lets yeah. [ laughter ] jimmy no, he wipes his eye and then he had a thought or something.

[ laughter ] you have the worst skunk luck, i cant believe it. Since i was eight. Because i have a really large forehead. And [ laughter ] it was way bigger and really awkward, like, the proportions of my face was really little down here, but then the rest of my head was just forehead. So all of the lights at the photo shoot were glaring off of my thats why her hand is covering my head. [ laughter ] jimmy see, that is a pro. Melanie griffith knows how to do it. Shes a pro.

And i brought her to preschool and i was like, all right. Im like, dont let her fight you. You got to go play. And as i was saying you got to she had already left. Oh, god. I know. [ laughter ] jimmy i was crying. You know were looking for a a little separation anxiety. Jimmy one little thing. I miss you, anything. Didnt look back at all. I felt like all right. That was the end of that, man. But youre doing a great job on nightly news. Thank you. Jimmy i watch every night. You recently went to north korea. I did. Yeah, we spent three nights there. Which is its the only reporting time that ive ever had where you dont know what youre going to get. You fly all this way. Jimmy yeah. You go through customs. Youre met by your escorts who tell you what you can shoot, what you cant shoot, where youre going to go, where youre not going to go. And so you know every moment is a surprise. Where are we going now. And obviously they have a story they want to tell and things they want us to see. But my feeling was, you know, this is a country that has threatened our country with nuclear annihilation. So any chance to, you know, get some glimpse into what life is like there. The people, i mean as a a journalist, you cant say no. Jimmy are you headed to south korea for the olympics . Yeah, im going back to asia in a couple of weeks for the pyeongchang olympics. Yeah. Jimmy how many olympics have you done . This is going to be number nine for me. Jimmy is that right . Yeah. In the past i would work i kind of would moonlight do nbc news and also work for nbc sports. Like in sochi, i anchored some of the coverage during the daytime here in the states. Jimmy yeah. And this would be, you know, my first Winter Olympics as a a nightly news anchor. But it is it is the best perk of the job. Going to the olympics. I can get really corny about it. You meet these young people who have done these amazing things. They work day in and day out. You know, we dont know who they are. They become a household name for a couple of weeks. And they come strutting up to the cameras and theyve got their gold medals on and their parents are, you know, blushing with pride. Jimmy and theyre kids. I mean, its great. I just get all americalike. [ laughter ] jimmy thats good though. Me too. You got the hats, the jackets no, and also at the time its a kind of viewing that grandparents and 3yearolds everybody can watch together. Jimmy it really is like some family entertainment. Yeah, and i think we all right now we could all use just a little break. Jimmy i think we absolutely can. Yeah. Please. But tomorrow night were not getting a break, because youre actually hosting the prime time coverage of the state of the union. State of the union. This is President Trumps first. He did a speech to congress about this time last year, but this is his First Official state of the union. Jimmy what are the expectations . Well, i mean, we know hes going to talk about the tax bill, which, you know, hell you know, talk about what he thinks it means to business. Hell talk about immigration. The topics we kind of we kind of know. I think what people will be looking for is, you know, the learning curve of the first year of a presidency. If he reflects that. If he talks about things hes learned, and if we sense any sense of a new direction or new softening or new stance. I mean, hes a man thats clearly aware of what got him here. And thats speaking his mind and owning things. So well just kind of see. Jimmy yeah. Well, we always love everything you do, buddy. Please come back. Thank you. Its a pleasure jimmy i love you. Congrats on being a granddad. Awesome. [ cheers and applause ] jimmy lester holt, everybody tune in tomorrow night for his coverage of trumps first state of the union.
