Vice president elect mike pence was booed by the audience of the hit broadway show, hamilton, this weekend. But thats nothing compared to what happened when he tried to see cats. [ laughter ] after the cast of broadways hamilton addressed Vice President elect mike pence, following a show this weekend, donald trump demanded they apologize and tweeted, the theater must always be a safe and special place. To which muslims replied, two tickets to the theater, please [ laughter ] [ applause ] go to the theater, youll be fine. One of Donald Trumps potential picks for Homeland Security chief may have accidentally revealed sensitive information, after he held a bulleted list of National Security proposals while posing for a photo with trump. Man, if you want to be Homeland Security chief, at the very least get a trapper keeper. [ laughter ] donald trump spent the weekend at his golf club in bedminser, new jersey. Four, yelled trump at a random woman he saw. [ laughter and applause ] you know, the news has been kind of depressing lately, so i thought wed take a break from it all in a little segment called good news. Seth since donald trump was elected, a lot of neonazi graffiti has been popping up. And i just want to say to the people doing it, you guys are kind of terrible at drawing swastikas. [ light laughter ] i never thought id have to say this to nazis, but where is your precision . [ light laughter ] theyre facing the wrong way. Theyre curved. I think whoever did this is the same person who draws those bootleg bart simpson tshirts. [ light laughter ] so swastikas are popping up everywhere, but at least theyre really poorly drawn, and thats good news. [ applause ] german chancellor Angela Merkel announced yesterday she will seek a fourth term in office next year. So ill get to keep my job, said her hair stylist. [ laughter ] according to a new report, the night before thanksgiving is the best night of the year for casual hook ups. While thanksgiving day is the worst. Brian, you remember your cousin beth, right . [ light laughter ] hey, beth. A new poll found that less than half of new yorkers feel like they can afford to keep living in the city. But im going to try to make it work, said one resident. [ light laughter ] and finally, New York University is launching a new program that houses College Students with Senior Citizens to cut down on expenses. Sign me up, said joe biden. [ laughter and applause ] ladies and gentlemen, we have got a great show for you tonight. She is a friend of our show. Shes got a hilarious new book out, Kathy Griffins celebrity runins, Kathy Griffin. [ cheers and applause ] back on the show tonight. Always a delight to talk to her. He is in an amazing new film, lion. The actor dev patel is here. [ cheers and applause ] hes a great actor. Its a great film. Looking forward to talking to him. And we will be whipping up some guacamole and margaritas with chef jose andres. [ cheers and applause ] so, very excited about all of our guests. Before we get to that, president elect donald trump prompted new questions, this weekend, about his foreign business ties and potential conflicts of interest. Questions trump responded to by picking a fight with the cast of a broadway musical. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ applause ] seth if you live in new york city, you would have bet everything you owned on friday morning that it was impossible for people to talk about the musical hamilton more. [ light laughter ] and by saturday morning youd be broke. President elect trump versus hamilton. The president elect was up bright and early this morning, tweeting a defense of his secondincommand mike pence, after pence was booed friday night at a performance of the hit musical hamilton. Later, as pence was leaving, a cast member asked him to stop and listen to a prepared statement. Pence did stay and this is part of what he heard. We truly hope that this show has inspired you to uphold our American Values and to work on behalf of all of us. [ cheers ] all of us. Seth work on behalf of all of us . How dare you shout such hateful rhetoric from the stage. Next time you disagree with someone in the audience, take a page from our president elect, who does it with dignity. Take em out. Get em out of here. Dont give him his coat. Keep his coat. Confiscate his coat. [ light laughter ] seth now that is dignified. Now theres some pundits out there who immediately tried to cast this episode as an example of the kind of culture clash that got trump elected in the first place. The wealthy, liberal elite, ensconced in their manhattan bubble, booing a politician from the heartland, just because he happens to disagree with them. But those people are forgetting one thing mercilessly booing politicians of both parties is a timehonored tradition in this country no matter where youre from. Im sure there was a dude at the gettysburg address yelling, i got your address 1508 you suck boulevard [ laughter ] nice hat did they not have it in your size . [ laughter ] in fact, heres pence earlier this year, throwing out the first pitch at a Minor League Baseball game in his home state of indiana. The indians Season Opener was a little rough for governor mike pence. Governor mike pence [ booing ] [ bleep ] [ laughter ] [ booing ] you suck [ laughter ] seth i actually think theres a hopeful message hidden in all of this. Which is our country may be divided, but one thing we can all find comfort in whether youre at a broadway show in manhattan or baseball game in indiana is booing the [ bleep ] out of mike pence. [ laughter and applause ] now to be fair [ cheers and applause ] to be fair to pence, his experiences with booing seems to have taught him that you cant take these things personally, as he demonstrated in a very statesmanlike interview sunday on fox news. When we arrived we heard we heard a few boos and we heard some cheers. And i nudged my kids and reminded them thats what freedom sounds like. Seth so no matter what you think of pence, that was a calm, mature response. And i bet donald trump went a different way with it. President elect donald trump is demanding an apology. Tweeting, quote, our wonderful future Vp Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of hamilton, cameras blazing. This should not happen. The president elect had a really busy day ahead. He had a busy saturday. But what did he start his day talking about with his first statement to the American People . 6 23 this morning, about hamilton. Trump tweeted out again this morning about the hamilton incident. He said, the cast and producers of hamilton, which i hear is highly overrated, should immediately apologize to mike pence for their terrible behavior. Seth so donald trump, the president elect of the united states, spent the weekend in a twitter fight with a broadway musical. But once hes done with that, its on to you isis [ laughter ] dont think youre off the hook, isis. [ applause ] youll get your tweets soon enough. The trumphamilton feud got so out of hand, it even sparked a social media backlash from conservatives. Conservative critics calling to boycott hamilton. The top trending topic, most of the day, is boycotthamilton. Seth which is a great idea, except for the fact that tickets to hamilton are sold out through august 2017. [ laughter ] i hate to break it to you guys, but youre not boycotting hamilton. Hamilton is boycotting you. [ laughter and applause ] for real. Youd be better off wasting your time boycotting other things that are impossible to get into, like harvard or Queen Elizabeths pants. [ laughter ] yeah, im boycotting her, bro. [ light laughter ] so, to sum this whole thing up, mike pence is now officially the first Vice President in history to lose a duel with hamilton. [ laughter and applause ] but as fun as it is and its fun. As fun as it is to talk about this hamilton feud, its just a distraction from a far bigger story. A story that will one day be told in the hit donald trump musical, scamilton. [ laughter ] because less than two weeks since donald trump was elected president , he is already making history by becoming the first ever president elect to settle a classaction fraud suit for 25 million before taking office. Theres breaking news tonight. Donald trump has agreed to pay 25 million to settle three lawsuits alleging fraud against Trump University. Donald trump and his legal team have settled in the Trump University lawsuit. It appears the president elect will not have to go on trial before heading to the white house. Seth congratulations, america, we did it our president will not have to go on trial before heading to the white house. [ light laughter ] it feels good to win again. [ light laughter ] now obviously this is a potentially Embarrassing Development for a president elect, especially one who has bragged repeatedly that he does not settle lawsuits. And in an effort to save face, trump responded to the news in a calm, statesmanlike way, by holding his First Official press conference as a president no, im kidding. He tweeted about this too. [ light laughter ] just this morning trump got on social media and he tweeted out the first tweet he did was, i settled the Trump University lawsuit for a small fraction of the award, because as president i have to focus on our country. And then minutes later he got back on social media and he tweeted, the only bad thing about winning the presidency is that i did not have the time to go through a long, but winning trial on Trump University. Too bad. Seth who does he think hes convincing when he says stuff like that. Thats like me saying i would love to fight conor mcgregor, but unfortunately im really busy with my late night show. You lucked out, conor. [ laughter ] and by the way, just in case you need a refresher, heres a small sample of what Trump University was accused of doing in these lawsuits. The lawsuits all basically say the same thing that almost everything about Trump University was a lie, starting with the name. The documents also include a Company Playbook that urged the sales team to push hard to enroll students, even when they were financially strapped. Down even to a single mother of three who, quote, may need money for food. Seth they targeted single mothers who needed money for food. When the ghost of christmas past visits trump this year, hes gonna be like, dude, thats [ bleep ] up. [ light laughter ] and while thats in the past now, there are plenty of new ethical questions surrounding trump in the present. Like, for example, the apparent lack of separation between his Business Empire and his president ial transition. Donald trump facing questions now about how hell separate his duties as president from his obligations to the more than 500 businesses that he controls. A new round of questions raised when trump was photographed with three of his Indian Business partners at the same time he was working to set up his transition team. Do Donald Trumps children pose a conflict of interest, potentially, for the Incoming Administration . The president elect is facing questions and criticism after his daughter, ivanka, sat in on the meeting the president elect had with the japanese prime minister. Seth so his daughter sat in on a meeting on a foreign leader. Maybe she was just filling in for mike pence who bailed, because he didnt want to get booed in japanese. [ laughter ] now as you may recall, a common criticism of the clintons was how they enriched themselves financially after leaving office. While trump is proving once again that he is the anticlinton by enriching himself before he takes office. Republicans had accused Hillary Clinton, you may recall, of paytoplay politics on the campaign trail. Now the Washington Post reports that trumps own business is pitching a newlyrenovated Washington Hotel to foreign diplomats. The Washington Post reported that about 100 foreign diplomats gathered these this week to sip trumpbranded champagne, dine on sliders, and hear a sales pitch about the new hotel. Seth you had a bunch of diplomats over and you served sliders . [ light laughter ] were you out of hot pockets . [ laughter ] so trumps d. C. Hotel is openly advertising itself to foreign diplomats as a place to stay while theyre in town doing official business with trumps government. And its apparently working. Several diplomats told the Washington Post that spending money at trumps hotel as an easy, friendly gesture to the new president. One diplomat explained it this way, why wouldnt i stay at his hotel blocks from the white house, so i can tell the new president i love your new hotel. isnt it rude to come to a city and say im staying at your competitor . and i do think donald trump would punish you for staying in a different hotel. Why are we not honoring our trade deal . Well, maybe you should ask you pal, j. W. Marriott. [ laughter ] and these concerns about trumps foreign ties and conflicts of interest arent just some left wing obsession. Theyre biparitan. For example, the chief white house ethics lawyer under president george w. Bush told the Washington Post, quote, if weve got to talk to a Foreign Government about their behavior, or negotiate a treaty, or some country asks us to send our troops in to defend someone else, weve got to make a decision. And the question becomes are we going in out of our National Interest or because theres a trump casino around . Thats ridiculous. There are no trump casinos around anymore. [ light laughter ] youd have a better chance of finding an operating blockbuster video. [ laughter ] yeah, weve got a new arrivals section, but thats where the raccoons live so be careful. [ light laughter ] so twitter feuds may be fun, but we need to Pay Attention to what team trump is really up to, because they want us to be distracted. In fact, trumps incoming chief strategist, steve bannon, openly admitted that in an interview last week. Trumps chief strategist, steve bannon, is also causing quite the stir. He had this to say in a rare interview to the Hollywood Reporter saying this, quote, darkness is good. Dick chaney, darth vader, satan. Thats power. It only helps us when they liberals get it wrong. When theyre blind to who we are and what were doing. Seth now i know that sounds terrifying [ light laughter ] and by the way, can you even imagine how the media would react if Hillary Clinton had met with her Business Partners while she was still secretary of state and one of her aids talked positively about satan . I think the News Coverage would sound Something Like this. [ booing ] you suck seth this has been a closer look. [ applause ] well be right back with our friend katy griffin everybody. [ cheers and applause ] oh, lifesized dragon hand back scratcher. If only it came in a luffa. It does oh, a raisin rehydrator. It turns them back into grapes. Wow, what an exhausting journey.
