Announcer tonight on late night with seth meyers, dan aykroyd, star of the Queens Gambit, actress Anya Taylorjoy, an all new closer look, featuring the 8g band with Carter Mclean. And now, Seth Meyers Seth welcome to late night. How is everybody doing thats great to hear well, its day six of trump watch. He is still refusing to leave the white house, but we do hear hes willing to speak to negotiators. I want 400 million, a copy of swank and one of those doritos locos tacos. Lets get to the news. President elect joe biden has selected his longtime political advisor, ron klain, to be his white house chief of staff and if this is the kind of presidency i hope it is, this will be the last time we ever hear his name. After being selected to the white house chief of staff, klain said the job would be, quote, the honor of a lifetime. As opposed to the Trump Administration where the position of chief of staff was more like the honor of a month or two president elect joe biden is reportedly planning to reverse President Trumps immigration policies thats right hes going to tear down the blueprints for the wall four senior officials at the pentagon this week were fired or resigned said trump, one from each side of the building. Twitter confirmed this week that President Trump will be subject to their rules just like any other user once president elect Joe Biden Takes Office on january 20th same, said the Southern District of New York New York governor andrew cuomo, yesterday, announced new coronavirus restrictions, including a 10 00 p. M. Curfew for bars, restaurants and gyms though if your husband was leaving for the gym at 10 00 p. M. , hes cheating on you after it was announced hed contracted the coronavirus, nebraska state senator mike groene said, quote, i finally got my wish and contracted the covid19 virus. Okay, well, two left, said a baffled genie. [ laughter ] organizers announced yesterday theyd selected the 2020 Rockefeller Center christmas tree, a 75foot tall, 11ton norway spruce from oneonta, new york. Of course, because of covid, its going to work from home [ laughter ] its got to lean into the shot a company in japan recently began producing rubber masks that resemble president elect joe biden. And at this point, trumps not above trying it. Hello, im president sleepy joe. Im in charge now. Time for my nap. Byebye. And finally, researchers have recently developed facial recognition for bears, so now they can finally figure out who ate all the marmalade in the kitchen. Karen wrote that joke. Once again, proving our most adorable writer does the most adorable jokes that was a monologue weve got a great show for you tonight. The one and only dan aykroyd will be here im so excited to talk to him. And she is the star of the hit netflix show, the Queens Gambit, Anya Taylorjoy is here that show is fantastic i cant wait to talk to her about that but before we get to all of that, every time President Trump and his Campaign File a dumb new lawsuit or spread a new lie about voter fraud, they quickly get batted down and this will shock you, its all a giant grift. For more on this, its time for a closer look. Seth well, President Trump has now entered the flushing his weed while the cops pound on the door stage of his presidency everyone who inhabits the world of observable reality from a majority of americans to world leaders, to even some republican state officials, has accepted that trump lost and joe biden is the president elect of the United States. Even some of trumps closest friends and allies on the world stage have abandoned him, like british Prime Minister, Boris Johnson. Not only are they Close Friends and allies, but they look like estranged half brothers who came from the same sperm donor, and im guessing that sperm donor was nick noltes mug shot . Oh, you guys are both my boys . Well, on wednesday, even Boris Johnson called joe biden the president elect and tossed in an extra burn on trump for good measure one of the many merits of the excellent conversation i had yesterday with president elect joe biden was that we were strongly agreed on the need, once again, for the United Kingdom and the United States to stand together. Does the Prime Minister now have any advice for his erstwhile best friend, President Trump, whos continuing refusal to accept the result is both embarrassing for him and dangerous for american democracy . Prime minister . Well, mrs. Speaker, i had, and have a Good Relationship with the previous president. I do not resolve from that as it is the duty of all Prime Ministers to have a Good Relationship with the white house. Seth wow, not only did he call joe biden president elect, he called trump the previous president. Thats such an effortless Little English burn the english can insult you in such a way that you can be on your deathbed 20 years later and think, hey. Your best friend said that my erstwhile best friend oh, trust me, hes erstwhile now. But as the old saying goes, if you cant trust a fellow rightwing goon who once got stuck on a zip line and tackled a small boy during a rugby game, then who can you trust thats how clear and decisive bidens victory was. Even trumps closest allies on the world stage have gone out of their way to congratulate joe biden and recognize his victory in the election. And theyre not alone. Several republican officials in key swing states, from the georgia secretary of state, to the Arizona Attorney general, to the Philadelphia City commissioner, have all made clear that there is no widespread fraud and that the results in their states are not going to change. Do you have any indication of major irregularities or fraud in this election . We havent found any widespread fraud our office received more than a thousand complaints shortly after the election dealing with bleedthroughs and people using sharpies we looked into that. We were able to determine that that did not affect anyones vote they also did a random audit of 2 of the precincts, and it came back 100 that there wasnt any statistical anomalies or errors. I have seen the most fantastical things on social media, making completely ridiculous allegations that have no basis in fact at all. Seth oh, so you also follow the president on twitter i have seen the most fantastical things sounds like something dorothy would say in the wizard of oz, and yet hes accurately describing the president s twitter account. I have seen the most fantastical things witches and munchkins and a video of the president tackling Vince Mcmahon with the cnn logo on his face and not only are those three republicans, but even karl rove wrote an oped declaring that there is no evidence of fraud that could overturn the election karl rove, the guy who engineered the last disastrous republican presidency to lose the popular vote when you lose karl rove, you need to do some serious lack of a soul searching this is like darth vader saying, guys, why are we trying to rebuild the death star theyre just gonna blow it up again. No, darth, dont talk to yourself that way. I guess i can make a bigger one. [ laughter ] and if the word of those republicans isnt enough for you, the New York Times called Election Officials in every state and found that there is no evidence of fraud. A postal worker who claimed to have witnessed ballot tampering recanted his claims and said they were made up. Even the Trump Campaigns lawsuits have mostly been laughed out of court for example, you might have heard one of their most common complaints, that their poll watchers in states like pennsylvania and michigan werent allowed to observe the vote counting. According to trump, this is responsible for hundreds of thousands of votes that should not be allowed to count. Therefore, i easily win both states he keeps doing this thing where he thinks he can just call dibs on states the way a stoner calls dibs on the last slice of pepperoni. Devon, theres no pizza left. Thats the drawing on the box, devon. Devon [ laughter ] look, devon, we all love weed, devon, but youve got to stop. Trump thinks its official as long as he throws in a hereby or a therefore. Thats the same tactic drunk red sox fans use when theyre getting dragged away by cops i hereby claim squatters rights, therefore granted to me by the commonwealth, allowing me to continue urinating from atop this telephone pole but the more important thing is, its not true. Trump lawyers have filed a bunch of frivolous lawsuits, claiming that because they were barred from observing the count, the states shouldnt be allowed to certify their results, which is insane because, first of all, the ballot counting was literally shown live on television for everyone to watch. I remember, because i was sitting on my couch staring at cable news 24 hours a day, four days straight like i was in a clockwork orange. I watched so much cable news i started dressing like Steve Kornacki when i close my eyes, i can still see jake tappers forehead furrows. Second, Trump Lawyers brought this claim before a judge, who dismissed it as absurd heres how one case went in pennsylvania before a judge appointed, it should be noted, by george w. Bush. Judge are your observers in the counting room . Trump lawyer theres a nonzero number of people judge are people representing trump for president in that room trump lawyer yes. Judge im sorry, then whats your problem its great that the more trump uses fancy courtroom words like hereby and therefore, the more judges Start Talking like theyre the ones from queens your honor there were a nonzero number of people in the counting room. Well, theres a nonzero chance im going to knock your [ bleep ] block off if you dont start giving me straight answers. Nonzero. I believe that case was called trump v. Get a load of this guy. And then theres the repeatedly debunked myth that dead people are voting this is one of the dumbest voter fraud lies because it almost always turns out that its an administrative error or a case of mistaken identity you know, because sometimes multiple people have the same name, an idea that is to come as a shock to donald trump and his son whos whats his name oh, its escaping me oh, right, forrest stump anyway, cnn did an investigation where they sampled 50 names of dead people who had supposedly voted in michigan. Of those 50, it turns out, 37 were indeed dead and had not voted. Five people out of the 50 had voted and theyre all still alive. The remaining eight are also alive, but didnt vote i think my favorite part is the five people who voted and were still alive. It must suck to get mistaken for dead Rudy Giuliani, of all people, should be able to sympathize hey, stop throwing dirt on me cant a guy catch a few winks in a shallow ditch anymore . Although my favorite dumb Conspiracy Theory has to be the existence of a mysterious Biden Harris Van in nevada where democrats were supposedly filling out mail ballots its a claim that has been repeated multiple times by trumps legal team and fox news. The poll workers saw people bringing handfuls of ballots to a Biden Harris Campaign van. Those ballots were then filled out at the van, placed in return envelopes. Mailin ballots were filled out on the side of a Biden Harris Van. You saw something suspicious, were going to get right into it tonight, happening on the side of a Biden Harris Van in the parking lot of the polling station. A van pulled up at the center marked, biden harris. Wow the doors of the van were open ballots were clearly visible ballots were opened with letter openers and ballots were filled in and resealed in envelopes seth nobody gets a van so they can do crimes outside of it you do the crimes in the van thats what vans are for youre either doing mobile pet grooming or crimes and if its for crimes, you dont put your name on the side of it. You never see a van air brushed molester mobile. [ laughter ] although the kids would know i think theyre going to have candy. And then yesterday, trump shared an even dumber Conspiracy Theory, a video by some random lady of Election Officials in california picking up mail ballots from a drop box, which is perfectly normal and legal. I thought they collected them all. I just want to document. No, theyre still collecting. How wait but how come they already called the state . Because these are mailin ballots. Are you guys official election guys . Where do you guys take them . Election center thats it. Seth im beginning to think a lot of these people genuinely dont know how mail works. Im sorry, where is that white piece of paper going and why does it have a little sticker of an American Flag on it and why are you guys wearing shorts in november okay okay im just asking. And it will not shock you to learn the Trump Campaign and Republican Partys attempts to invalidate the results of the elections are, in large part, a giant grift with the side effect of lighting our democracy on fire the Trump Campaign has been soliciting donations to pay for legal challenges to supposedly defend the integrity of the election, but as reuters reported, it turns out, in the fine print that donations under 8 thousand go to the president and the Republican National committee. Like Everything Else trump and the gop do, this is also a scam. The moneys just going to them when trump finally concedes, hell probably do it in a bugatti, wearing diamondencrusted cartier sunglasses and the necklace from the titanic. Thanks for all your donations, but unfortunately it wasnt enough to stop the deep state. If you need me, ill be vacationing in fiji. With only a few exceptions, the Republican Party is standing in lockstep behind President Trump and perhaps his final grift as president because they know it will fire up his base. And they dont care what damage they do to democracy in the process. Even after trump leaves office, cynical republicans know trumpism is the future of their party and they want to maintain a Good Relationship with the previous president seth this has been a closer look.
