[ cheers and applause ] seth and finally, we dont always have enough time to cover all of the recent news so here, with a recap is one of our writers, amber ruffin, in a segment we call, amber says what. [ cheers and applause ] yay you guys, things have been crazy. Okay, first of all, they put trump in the hall of president s, at disney world. And i was like, what . People bring their children there also, look at those other president s. Theyre looking at him like, what . [ laughter ] but i saw that picture and i was like, what is seth meyers doing in the hall of president s . [ laughter ] is Franklin Pierce seth meyers . Possibly. Then i read that back in the 90s, jason priestly punched harvey weinstein. And i was like, 9021what . Then, australia voted to legalize gay marriage, and i was like, what mate . [ laughter ] what mate . But, theres actually been 22 unsuccessful attempts to legalize it, since 2004. So australians have been, like, whawhawhawhawhawhawhawha whawhawhawhawhawhawha whawha [ laughter ] and now theyre like, whaa . [ cheers and applause ] then then the fcc repealed Net Neutrality rules.

And i was like [ cheers and applause ] this has been amber says what. Seth give it up for amber, everybody we have a great show for you tonight from Pitch Perfect 3 rebel wilson is back on the show [ cheers and applause ] also, he is the senatorelect from alabama. Doug jones is on late night tonight. How about that . Republicans spent yesterday gleefully celebrating their tax plan and lavishing praise on President Trump. With trump even going so far as to claim that he also repealed obamacare. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth trump convened his cabinet for their final meeting of the year yesterday, and as usual, he did not help but take a gratuitous swipe at the media. Trump called on housing secretary, ben carson, to say a prayer, but before doing so, said this about the reporters in the room. So with that, im going to ask ben carson you can stay if you want to, because you need the prayer more than i do, i think. You may the only ones. Maybe a good, solid prayer, and theyll be honest ben. Is that possible . Seth ah, yes, prayer. What a cool thing to be a dick about. [ laughter ] but is it possible for a prayer to make people more honest . Because this happened earlier this year, and it didnt really seem to take for you. [ light laughter ] now, of course, yesterday republicans pa t reputable studies, would overwhelmingly benefit corporations and the wealthy. And yet, as usual, trump has been focused primarily on the branding. Claiming that it was his idea to call it a tax cut instead of tax reform. I said to my guys, i called everybody in. We had a meeting. Senators, congress, everybody. I said, we have to use the word tax cuts. Now, if you want to throw reform, you can say tax cuts and reform. But you have to use the word cut. So for years, 30 years, 31 years, theyve been using the word reform. So we use the word tax cuts i said very specifically use the word tax cut. You know for 34 years, they have been trying to do this and they havent and they used the word reform. Well, there is reform, but i said were going to be talking about tax cuts. Seth oh, my god, do you think you came up with the phrase tax cuts . [ laughter ] those are literally the two most popular words in the history of politics. Thats like if you said at your inauguration, i, donald j. Trump, do solemnly swear, that i will faithfully execute the office of the president of the united states. You know i wrote this myself. [ light laughter ] thats right, trump claims he invented the phrase tax cuts. That is so fake, the only thing that would be more fake is claiming you came up with the word fake. The media is is really the word i think one the greatest of all terms ive come up with is fake. [ laughter ] seth right. You came up with fake. I can just see you at your writing desk with a waste basket full of crumpled papers going, lets see, untrue . No, thats not it. [ light laughter ] false, thats too fancy. Oh, fake fake ive got it so trump thinks he came up with the phrase tax cut, but of course his delusional self congratulation didnt stop there. During a meeting with his cabinet he claimed once again that his administration has accomplished more than any other administration in history. Americans are filled with excitement for the future. Optimism like they havent seen. And enthusiasm for the incredible possibilities that lie ahead for our country. We have done a job like no administration has done. Seth you passed one bill. [ light laughter ] and people are so enthusiastic about you that alabama elected a democratic senator. [ cheers and applause ] and hes hes so enthusiastic about you, hes going to be a guest on this show tonight [ cheers and applause ] so trump trump loves to stroke his own ego. But yesterday he got some help from Vice President mike pence, who was also at the cabinet meeting. Trump called on pence to say a few words. And for about three minutes, pence lavished praise on trump, directly to his face. Thank you for seeing through the course of this year, an agenda that truly is restoring this country. Youve restored american credibility on the world stage. Youve unleashed american this country that is setting records. Im deeply humbled as your Vice President to be able to be here. I want to thank you, mr. President. I want to thank you for speaking on behalf of, and fighting every day for the forgotten men and women of america. Seth well, i guess we know what trumps old face looks like. [ laughter ] look at him. Even hes like, dude, im married. [ laughter ] after that cabinet meeting, pence showed up at trumps door holding cue cards. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] why does trump sit with his arms crossed like that . Did he eat some bad clams . Or is he just practicing for the day they finally put a straight jacket on him . And that wasnt even the last time that day that trump surrounded himself with lackeys stroking his ego. Later outside the white house he celebrated the passage of the tax plan with house and Senate Republicans who took turns praise their dear leader. This has been a year of extraordinary accomplishment for the trump administration. Something this profound could not have been done without exquisite president ial leadership. President donald trump is a man of his word. Hes a man of action. Thank you, President Trump, for allowing us to have you as our president. Youre living up to every everything i thought you would. Youre one heck of a leader. Seth man, even Waylon Smithers is like, have some dignity. But it wasnt just a giant Corporate Tax cut that trump celebrated yesterday. The gop bill also repeals obamacares individual insurance mandate. Which could cause as many as 13 million fewer people to have Health Insurance and reduce federal spending for poor and middle class americans Health Insurance with premiums going up. Now the individual mandate is just one part of obamacare. But that didnt stop trump from gleefully claiming that he had na completely. Although his plan for replacing obamacare was not all that clear. The individual mandate is being repealed. When the individual mandate is being repealed, that means obamacare is being repealed. We have essentially repealed obamacare. And well come up with something that will be much better. Whether its block grants or whether its taking what we have and doing something terrific. Seth oh [ laughter ] something terrific . Thats your plan . Youre like a dad who stuffs his kids stockings with a card that says, i owe you something terrific. [ laughter ] now trump hasnt repealed obamacare. There is still the medicaid expansion, the exchanges, the subsidies, the protections from preexisting conditions. But i say we let him think hes repealed obamacare so he stops trying. In fact, i think i think this could work with all of his promises. All we have to do is get someone to show him a photo of the great wall of china, tell him its the mexican border, anl i did it. And then [ cheers and applause ] and then, they will just hand him a slip of paper that says, 1 million pesos on it, and hell say, we got mexico to pay for it. [ light laughter ] and while were at it, well bake him a cake, that says congrats on a great eight years. Then hell pack his [ bleep ] and get out of our lives forever. [ cheers and applause ] this has been a closer look.

S, savings. Its so confusing. Well you know where i put my money . Where . Bitcoin. Whats bitcoin . Bitcoin is the first decentralized digital cryptocurrency that works without a central bank. That sounds interesting. Yeah. And its so simple to use. Transactions take place through the use of cryptography and are verified by Networks Nodes and recorded in an immutable public distributed leger called a blockchain. What could be simpler than that . Nothing. It sounds great. Right. So is it like investing in stocks . Kind of. But not at all. Well, im on board. Really . Because i have so many more questions. Not me. Where can i get one of these bitcoins . Can i buy one at my local bank . Of course not. What a dumb question. [ laughter ] thought it was brilliant. No it was dumb. [ light laughter ] bitcoins arent like regular currency. Theyre mined. In a physical mine . Like gold . Thats ridiculous. Bitcoins are mined on computers using the fha 256 hashing algorithm creating 12. 5 bitcoins per block. Uhhuh. That is until mid 2020. Uhhuh. And then afterwards, 6. 25 bitcoins per block for four years until the next halving. Wait, are we still talking about money . Cryptocurrency. This sounds so simple. Shut up, margaret. Theres no way you understood all of that. [ laughter ] okay. So how much do one of these bitcoins cost . 17,000. 17,000 . Thats insane sounds like a bargain. Oh [ light laughter ] and how do you keep track of these things values . Just check the internet. So far today its value has gone up 1,000 and now its down 800 and now its up 500. Sounds like you cant lose. You absolutely can, margaret. How do i buy bitcoins . Its easy. Just go online and give them your credit card number. Give who your credit card number . Bitcoin. And then let the internet do what it does. What does it do exactly . It bitcoins. Heres my credit card. No [ laughter ] so who started bitcoin . We think it was satoshi nakamoto. Who is that . No one really knows. He sounds cute. [ laughter ] margaret, i swear to god. And bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency i trust with my kids college fund. Thats smart investing. Thats bat [ bleep ] crazy [ laughter ] now its down to 3. Easy come, easy go. [ laughter ] this message brought to you by the stock market. Gamble with your retirement the Old Fashioned way.

There were these guys i was getting gas in my car during bella boot camp, which is our, like, rehearsal month for the movie. And these guys look like they were doing, like, a little drug deal. [ light laughter ] so so they caught my attention. [ laughter ] and then and then after they were finished doing their little thing, they came over and asked me out. Seth really . Yeah. But i was a little bit scared. Seth uhhuh. So, i said i had a husband. Seth uhhuh. Right . I dont. [ light laughter ] and then they asked me would i want free drugs anyway. Seth oh, wow [ light laughter ] i was like, when does that happen . [ laughter ] hardly ever. Seth that is a yeah. And then theres more story. Like, i would get asked out, like, basically every single day in atlanta. Which never happens in, to me in real life. And i was just driving my car, a man rolled down his window, and said, hey, i own the Ice Cream Store down there. Come with me, ill give you some free ice cream and we can go on a date.

It was pretty cool. Seth thats amazing i know. Seth so you always have a special place in your heart for atlanta. I feel like i need to go back there. Seth yeah.

[ laughter ] seth very helpful in a fight. Yes. But i actually the scariest stunt i did. I did a 20foot freefall jump with my costar, Anna Kendrick. I know, it sounds mental. Even when we finished the stunt, the stunt team were like, oh, uh, no actress we know would actually do that. [ laughter ] and were like, why didnt you tell us that . [ light laughter ] because i know i seem really tough, but i am afraid of heights. Seth yeah. Thats the one thing im afraid of. And i had to do this 20foot jump. Seth just once, hopefully. Ten times. Seth ten times ten times with Anna Kendrick. And each time petrified, thought i was going to die. And so the lovely Anna Kendrick sang to me.

Well when that happens, ill call you up and y ill be back. Seth okay. So i would think its safe to say this is the most anyone has ever paid attention to an Alabama Senate election. [ laughter ] and what we saw by paying attention, was your opponent seemed a little extreme at times. He brandished a gun on stage. He rode a horse to vote. Was that, from where you were sitting, was it as hard to believe at times as it was for people who were maybe new to this . No, it was hard to believe all the time. Seth ohhuh. Not just at times. It was surreal to watch some of that. Seth yeah, so it was yeah, i mean, what can you say . [ laughter ] seth yeah, i guess what can you say . It was probably best at this point not to say anything. No. Seth and move on. Yeah, but it hasnt been certified yet. So lets just kind of seth yeah, well keep it as it is. Yeah, i want to get on to politics. But you took a deserved vacation. You went to key west for your anniversary. And you went down there after the election. And you got to hang out with Jimmy Buffett. Absolutely. Seth how did that come about . Well, you know, we were just down there, you know, jimmy is from alabama originally. And we were just down there. And he found out about he was coming in go to a nieces wedding. Found out about it, and just like went, whoa, doug jones is here. And invited to us to the surprise concert at margaritaville. Had lunch the next day. It was you know, it was awesome. I mean it was just a lot of fun when he stood up and sang stars fell on alabama, and dedicated it to us. Oh, it was cool. Seth well that is a fantastic anniversary present, yeah. It was the best. [ cheers and applause ] seth so i feel like there has been this conventional wisdom of how democrats should run in the south, which is more to the middle and farther away from core democratic issues. You ran on environmental issues. You ran on prochoice. Do you feel like this is the new path forward for democrats in the south . You know, look. I dont know if it is or not. I know thats the way i had to run. Thats the way my wife and i who, you know, the Election Night was our 25th anniversary. And i was made sure i was told i had to mention that when i came out. [ laughter ] seth Jimmy Buffett wasnt enough . She also had to get Election Night. But you know, we had to do that. Because there is still a lot of voices like that. And i think what people were really looking at is someone to just really be true to who they are. And we were able to do that, but able to also pivot back to what we call the Kitchen Table issues in our campaign. Jobs, education. Health care was a big driver. And that was something people really were concerned about. Seth so jobs, education, health care. You mentioned those were a Kitchen Table issue. Obviously, once you get to the senate, the question is, how much do you work with the president . Youve said you want to work with the president. You want to work with republicans across the aisle. Sure. Seth i think some democrats feel they dont want to hear things like that. How do you what is your plan . Well, you know, look, youve got to try to reach out. But its one of those things. Theyve got to want to work with you, as well. You know, i think theres a number of issues that are out there right now. Youve got the tax issue thats behind you now. But the c. H. I. P. Program is still a big one. Thats the child Health Insurance program. Thats a big deal for alabama. 150,000 kids, a million across the country. That people ought to be able to come to the table on. Seth now there was a shortterm funding plan passed for c. H. I. P. Today. What does it say to you about the republican priorities that they raced and moved faster than anyone has ever moved before on this tax reform legislation, and yet can only sort of come to a shortterm agreement on c. H. I. P. After thats done . Well, they were looking for a political win. Theyve not seen anything thats really been, legislatively, a win for them. They needed something by the end of the year. The president wanted something. So unfortunately, the c. H. I. P. Program and others got just kind of shoved to the wayside. But thats okay. And you know, despite the fact that i called on them to try to do it before the end of the year, im happy to get up there to work on that first thing when i get there in january. Seth i wish you the best of luck on it. Thank you. Seth that is very important. It is. Seth so you mentioned obviously, what your opponent roy moore, there were these Sexual Assault allegations about him. You certainly brought them up in your campaign. You did an interview where you said in regards to the same sort ofus or what did you mean by that . Well, i wasnt really talking about moving on from those allegations. I think, seth, anybody that followed my campaign knows that i have consistently had womens empowerment issues at the forefront of my campaign. And especially after these allegations. Not only with the president , but with others across the country. And roy moore. I think weve truly reached a tipping point, a kind of a crossroads in this country. Where women who have been abused and felt abused can now stand up, speak out. That is what i have been for all along. What i want to do, though, is for me personally, i think the people of alabama voted me voted for me to put me up there to try to talk about health care and those issues. And i want to get in there to do those issues. But that doesnt by any stretch mean that i dont think that those issues and those women who have made those allegations arent important. They are. They need to stand up, they need to speak out. And Everybody Needs to Pay Attention to them. Seth fantastic. [ cheers and applause ] black rs uhhuh. Seth black voters were key to your success. Black women voters, even more so. What do you do moving forward to make sure that you listen to them and sort of take their issues into consideration . Well, i think you just hit the key. You listen to them. I think one of the things that ive stressed in my campaign that we wanted to do was we wanted to have listening tours. Its you know, politicians talk enough. We need to listen more to the electorate who put us into office. And so one of the things that well be doing, well be traveling all around the state. Im going to be back in alabama as much as i can. I want to listen and understand. I think in part, you know, women got engaged. The africanamerican population got engaged because of all of moores history. Not just the disturbing allegations, but his history on race and other things. And also, i think ive got a pretty good background for that that helped propel that story a little bit. But were going to get out there. Because, you know what, at the end of the day, theyre still talking about health care and jobs. And they want their kids else. And i want to make sure in alabama, that you get a great education, no matter which zip code you live in. Seth you have some real alist talent at your Election Night. Charles barkley was on the stage. Oh, yeah. Seth how was it having Charles Barkley on Election Night . Sir charles was the hit of the night. Seth yeah. I mean, he was great. He was funny. He was down the hall from us, and the videos and stories that we got. But he was so good because he was nervous. He said it was the craziest night that hes ever spent. Seth and thats i mean, not only is he a basketball player, hes a habitual gambler. [ laughter ] yeah. Hes had some wild nights, i think. But he said that night was the craziest night he had ever been in. But at the end of the day, hes also one of hes just a big teddy bear. Because, just two you know, two nights ago or tuesday night, one week, he sent me another nice text. He said, one week ago was one of the greatest nights of my life. And you know, it was a lot of fun. Seth well he was it was fantastic. And you know, i saw him speak after the fact, and he really he spoke from the heart. Oh, yeah. Seth it was really special to watch. Absolutely. Seth so i want to ask, and this is not unique to you. I feel like this happens to a lot of people who get elected to the senate. Is their whole campaign, they talk about how the senate is dysfunctional. Yes. Seth and they have to get in to help fix it. Now youre basically going in to a body where youve been talking out loud about how screwed up it is. Is it weird now to go in and be like, hey, yeah. Yeah, you know . Hey, im here to fix everything, guys. [ laughter ] you know . You know, it is. But its its true. And all you can do is try. I mean, thats the best you can do. And hopefully have a voice. But, you know, i started down on Election Night. I kind of sent word to everybody that, you know, i think the alabama election, as much as anything. It wasnt about me. It was never about me. And to some extent, it wasnt about roy moore. But what i think that message is, is that people wanted to see things done. They dont like the dysfunction. They want to see actual things happening across party aisles to the extent that yoca and so i am hoping they will take that into account. It probably will last a good 24, 48 hours. Once i get up there. Seth well, i wish the best for you. I wish the best for the people of alabama. Good luck with everything thats coming your way. Hey, thank you. Thank you.
