Transcripts For KNTV Late Night With Seth Meyers 20170429

In a new interview, President Trump predicted he would pass Richard Nixon for most appearances on the cover of time magazine. Hey, dude, do you know why nixon was on the cover so many times . [ laughter ] theyre going to make so many documentaries about me. Ill bet i even pass charles manson. [ laughter ] in the same interview, President Trump responded to questions about unsubstantiated claims he recently made by saying, quote, i cant be doing so badly, because im president and youre not. [ light laughter ] im president and youre not. Okay, i didnt mind when you talked dirty with billy bush or told russia to hack hillarys emails, but when you start stealing bits from weekend update anchors [ laughter ] it is on. Also [ cheers and applause ] also, i happen to know this isnt the first time youve done this. Im Norm Macdonald and now, the fake news. [ laughter ] seth you know, i hate to say this, but donald, you ignorant slut. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] press Secretary Sean Spicer said today that the white house was optimistic about the chances of the republican healthcare bill, but, quote, at the end of the day, we cant make people vote. Tell me about it, said one woman. [ laughter ] according to sources, the last time President Trump and former president obama spoke was inauguration day. Said obama, that wasnt me. [ laughter ] Vice President mike pence today met with honduran president juan orlando. Coincidentally, juan orlando is also the alias joe biden uses when hes on spring break in cancun. [ laughter ] put it on the orlando room. [ light laughter ] newly released emails show that President Trump asked organizers to consider including military vehicles like tanks and rocket launchers in his inaugural parade. But instead, they opted for something more modest, empty bleachers. [ laughter ] today was National Puppy day, you little sons of bitches. [ audience aws ] [ cheers and applause ] i had a really good joke, but it was ruined by how excited you guys were. [ laughter ] you thought i was just celebrating that it was National Puppy day. I get it, theyre puppies. [ light laughter ] theyre still little sons of bitches. [ laughter ] Dunkin Donuts has announced that its getting rid of its coffee coolatta drink and will be replacing it with a new beverage. So get ready for donuts in a cup. [ laughter ] and finally, Customs Officials say a woman attempted to smuggle 14 pounds of cocaine from mexico inside wooden picture frames, but the photo was sort of a dead giveaway. [ laughter ] ladies and gentlemen, we have a great show for you tonight. [ cheers and applause ] hes starring in the new movie life, and currently can be seen on broadway in the fantastic revival of sunday in the park with george. Jake gyllenhaal, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] shes performing at carolines on broadway here in new york city april 6th through the 8th. Our friend Whitney Cummings is back on the show. [ cheers and applause ] we also have an incredible musical performance from post malone featuring quavo of migos and super producer metro boomin. [ cheers and applause ] looking forward to that as well. Before we get to that portion of the show, republicans postponed a vote on their healthcare bill today, after trying unsuccessfully to ram it through the house. And as this is all happening, the ongoing russian scandal continues to dog the trump white house. For more on this, its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] seth so House Republicans were forced to delay a vote on their healthcare bill today after acknowledging they didnt have the votes to pass it. So what was trump up to on this crucial afternoon that would decide the future of our nations healthcare . Well, he was meeting with truckers at the white house, and at one point decided to climb into the drivers seat himself. [ applause ] [ laughter ] [ horn honking ] [ laughter ] seth in fairness, he had just seen this bumper sticker. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] now, the last 24 hours in politics have been truly mindboggling. Youve got the president doubling down on his false wiretapping claim, republicans scrambling to cobble together a healthcare bill before anyone even knows whats in it, and new reports that Trump Associates may have coordinated with russia. And all of that comes on top of yesterdays news that paul manafort, trumps former campaign chairman, secretly worked for a russian billionaire with a plan to greatly benefit the putin government. The billionaire was a close putin ally with whom manafort eventually signed a 10 million annual contract. So Trumps Campaign chairmans previous job was working to advance Vladimir Putins agenda. Thats like finding out your babysitters previous job was baking children into pies. [ laughter ] and if you feel overwhelmed by the constant drum beat of scandal in this administration, youre not alone. Just check out senator john mccains face when he went on msnbc yesterday to talk trump and russia. There is evidence that is not circumstantial, and is very much worthy of investigation. So that is what we ought to do. With me, arizona senator john mccain. Well, senator . [ laughter ] seth congratulations, senator, you may not know what an emoji is, but you just became one. [ laughter and applause ] that right there thats an 80yearold man who was a p. O. W. , and who campaigned with sarah palin. If you can still shock him, you are doing some crazyass [ bleep ]. [ laughter ] now, the leaking of this latest information about the fbi probe comes on top of a stunt pulled yesterday by the republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee devin nunes, who claimed that Trump Officials may have been legally surveilled during the transition. Nunes held a press conference, and then ran to the white house to tell trump before telling any of the members of his own committee. Today nunes apologized for not speaking to other members of his own committee first, and explained what brought him to make the decision to take the information to the white house in the first place. Its just a judgment call. I mean, you know, it was my i mean, it was there was a lot going on yesterday. Seth oh, there was a lot going on yesterday . No [ bleep ]. [ light laughter ] and for the rest of us, just so you know, you were the lot that was going on. [ laughter ] now, as troubling as the russian revelations are, what the republicans have been doing with healthcare may be just as outrageous, and it certainly will affect more americans, because republicans, who have complained for years that obamacare was rushed through congress, have literally been rewriting the bill behind closed doors with no public input, in an attempt to ram it through the house before most members of congress, let alone most americans, have any idea whats in it. Republicans running against the clock, as they scramble to save their plan to repeal and replace obamacare. Theyre trying to get it through in a big hurry. And its a total mess. Tonight they seem to be rewriting the bill, essentially. Obamas healthcare bill, the democrats healthcare bill, took i think it was about 14 months for it to pass. This is intended to get passed in just a few weeks. We had to go with the healthcare first. And were doing well, i think were going to have some great surprises. Seth because thats what you want when it comes to healthcare surprises. [ laughter ] although i guess when this guy is your doctor, youre used to surprises. [ laughter ] surprise, man, it turns out you had several heart attacks, and i just missed it, man. [ light laughter ] ive been really distracted since my band broke up. [ laughter ] now, today republicans said they would postpone the vote after spending all night frantically rewriting major portions of the bill to try to win over hard line conservatives. So what did they come up with during those negotiations . The changes republicans are talking about would strip away the essential Health Benefits included in obamacare. These benefits mandate things that Insurance Companies must cover in all plans, including prescription drugs, pregnancy, maternity and newborn care, and hospitalization. Thats right. Republicans think that your Insurance Plan shouldnt be required to cover hospitals. But dont worry, every american gets one free ride on the cart that picks up your dead. [ laughter ] [ audience ohs ] heres the problem with getting rid of essential Health Benefits like Maternity Care. If you dont require all insurance to provide them, no one will. But republicans just dont seem to understand how this works. For example, today a reporter asked kansas senator pat roberts how he felt about repealing the essential Health Benefits. And roberts joked, i wouldnt want to lose my mammograms. That comment outraged many people, including democratic congresswoman jackie speier, who replied, i dont want to lose my Prostate Cancer screenings either. [ light laughter ] and republicans are going to need prostate exams because they clearly pulled this bill out of their asses. [ cheers and applause ] and if youre wondering if youre wondering why republicans would strip Maternity Care and mammograms from health insurance, this photo of conservatives meeting with trump today tells you all you need to know. Look how many middle aged white dudes there are. Get those guys some guitars and a drum set, and thats a cialis commercial. [ laughter ] mustang sally yeah [ laughter ] so republicans are radically reshaping one fifth of the economy in a matter of hours, behind closed doors, with no public input. That is insane, cruel, and reckless, and remember, this is how republicans reacted when they thought obamacare, which took way longer, was being rushed through congress. Look at how this bill was written. Can you say it was done openly . With transparency and accountability . Without backroom deals and struck behind closed doors, hidden from the people . Hell no, you cant seth and now that weve proven ourselves to be craven hypocrites, hell bent on kicking millions of people off insurance, can you believe a word we say . Hell, no, you cant [ laughter ] seth so trump and gop leaders are rushing this bill through the house against the wishes of almost every Interest Group and without any public input first. Which may explain why this bill is massively unpopular. According to a new poll out today, only 17 of American Voters approve of the proposal. And yet trump has not only been on board with it, hes been personally involved in winning over votes. In fact, after a meeting with hard line conservatives last week, he wouldnt shut up about how many votes hed won. These are folks that were either a no or a maybe. All of these nos, or potential nos are all yeses. These folks were nos. Mostly nos. Now every single one is a yes. 100 of the nos are yeses. Some of them were strong nos. Some were just nos, and we had a couple that were mixed. We took 12 nos or seminos, no yeses, we met with 12 pretty much nos. They went from all nos to all yeses. Seth no, there were no yeses, there were nos that became yeses and yes, the nos know other nos that are still nos, and yes, there are yeses that are now nos who know other nos who are now yeses. I think that [ applause ] were doing very well. Its going very well. In fact, trump has apparently been strong arming some members of congress, reportedly telling them in private meetings that if they vote no, quote, im going to come after you. But i wouldnt sweat it too much. When he comes after you, its a pretty slow lumber. That was the [ laughter ] that the obamacare approach was to take. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] seth now, kicking 24 Million People off healthcare and removing hospital care from insurance requirements sounds indefensible. It is. In fact, republicans are so at a loss to defend their plan, they are now literally asking us to use our imaginations, as Health Secretary tom price did on cnn. Imagine if you will a system that actually drives down costs of Health Coverage for individuals. Imagine if you will a system that actually provides patients with an array of options. Imagine a medicaid system that actually works better for patients. So imagine, if you will, a system that puts patients at the center of it. So think about, imagine a system, if you will. Imagine you have healthcare [ laughter ] seth but that is essentially the republicans pitch to voters and to their own caucus. Just imagine a great healthcare plan. In fact, republicans keep insisting that this bill that theyre rushing through congress is only the first part of a threepart plan that will deal with different parts of the healthcare system. A plan theyre referring to as the three bucket strategy. But even hard line conservatives like ted cruz think that socalled third bucket will never come. That aint gonna happen. Its their socalled three bucket solution, which is all the good stuff is in bucket three. Anything in bucket three ive called bucket three the suckers bucket. [ laughter ] seth the suckers bucket of course is also trumps favorite order from kfc. [ laughter and applause ] the enormity of what is happening right now cant be overstated. Republicans are trying to ram a bill that no one wants through Congress Without telling americans whats in it. Even though it will kick millions off insurance. And so far, they cant get the votes for it. Surely, after his terrible performance today, trump wouldnt be tooting his own horn. [ horn honking ] [ laughter ] this has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] well be right back with more late night, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] red line, 20 minute delay. Oh, no. rhythmic clatter cant get a signal . So annoying, right .
