Said one macys employee. [ breathing heavy ] [ light laughter ] can i go home now .

[ laughter and applause ] one of tomorrows thanksgiving nfl games will feature the redskins taking on the cowboys, in a rematch of a rivalry that dates all the way back to the original thanksgiving. [ light laughter ] according to a new poll president obamas Approval Rating is at its highest in seven years. Also at its highest in seven years, joe bidens collar. [ light laughter ] and finally, cheerleaders at the university of kansas were suspended yesterday, after sending a snapchat spelling kkk with their sweaters with the caption kkk go trump. However theyve been hired as the cheerleaders for the kkk Basketball Team which is currently 037. [ light laughter ] ladies and gentlemen, we have a great show for you tonight. Rapper.

You will have been home, youll have been with your family, youll have been talking politics all day probably, so the other promise to you is we will not mention politics at all tomorrow night. [ light laughter ] [ applause ] it will just be me and my family, welcoming you and your family. But thats tomorrow. [ light laughter ] as he prepares to take office, appointing a cabinet, but at the same time hes also deflecting questions about his Business Empire. For more on this its time for a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] . . Seth trump has already received criticism for some of his cabinet picks, like his nominee for attorney general, alabama senator jeff sessions. Sessions was actually rejected by the senate once before. He was turned down for a federal judgeship in 1986, over comments he made that were seen as racist. Ago, when we were all okay with this. Oh, sexy girlfriend. [ laughter ] bonsai seth so 30 years ago, that wasnt considered racist, but sessions was. Why . Sessions has been accused of calling civil Rights Groups unamerican and communist inspired. Criticizing the Voting Rights act and its impact on southern states. The kkk, until he found out they smoked pot. [ light laughter ] seth and you can always tell whos high at a kkk meeting. [ light laughter ] now sessions has said he was making a joke, and also to be fair that was 30 years ago, but sessions recent record is also troubling. Hes been a hardliner in everything from immigration to Voting Rights. And along with his picks for chief strategist and National Security advisor, trumps early personal personnel choices have received glowing reviews from white nationalists, who are psyched. Its like christmas. White nationalists are cheering trumps choices, calling them a dream team and exactly what they want. Seth its the dream team, or if youre going by skin tone, the cream team. [ light laughter ] in their defense, it is kind of like christmas. The day that a middle eastern family was denied access to a hotel and basic health care. [ light laughter ] but trump still has more positions to fill, and on monday he met with former Texas Governor rick perry, who is reportedly being considered for energy secretary. Energy was actually one of the three federal agencies perry wanted to eliminate when he went in for president in 2012. But famously, he could not remember it when asked at a debate. The third agency of government. I would i would do away with the education, the um commerce. Commerce, and lets see i cant. The third one i cant, sorry. Oops. Seth thats right. Trump wants to put perryn charge of the department, that he cn he wanted to get rid of. [ light laughter ] and he had notes. [ laughter ] every day is going to be like 50 first dates with him. [ light laughter ] oh, man, department of energy. I hate this place. Wait, i work here . [ laughter ] really the best part of rick perry being considered for a cabinet post, is that he was also a contestant this season, on dancing with the stars. And on tuesday, the same man who might run our department of . . Rick perry . . [ cheers and applause ] . . What was more surreal . Performing with vanilla ice here tonight, or your big meeting in new york yesterday . Oh, can i take no comment on that one at the moment. No, you can say performing here right now. Being with vanilla ice is always number one. [ light laughter ] look its vanilla twice. [ laughter ] rick perry looks like he should be secretary of energy drinks. [ light laughter ] and then there are those who took themselves out of consideration for cabinet post, before even being offered one, like former president ial candidate ben carson. Whose spokesperson issued this statement when it was rumored that carson was being considered for the department of health and Human Services. Dr. Carson feels he has no government experience. Hes never run a federal agency. The last thing he would want to seth aw, poor ben. No one has the heart to tell him he ran for president. [ laughter ] lets at least give carson credit for knowing hes not qualified to run the department of health and Human Services. That was the end of that right . Mr. Trump has reportedly offered the post of secretary of housing and urban development to ben carson. Seth ben, youre a neurosurgeon, would you like to run department of health and Human Services . No, im not qualified. What about housing secretary . [ light laughter ] while trump continues to assemble a cabinet, hes also facing a barrage of questions over his foreign business ties and the conflicts of interests they could pose during his presidency. For example, trump promised throughout the campaign to get tough on china, but a Major Chinese bank currently pays for office space in trump tower. Meaning that, the president of the United States will be pocketing rent checks from a state run megabank, owned by the and economic rival. Now, to be fair to trump, he might not have realized the bank is actually owned by china. Whats the banks name . The bank of china. [ light laughter ] i thought it was the plate kind of china. [ light laughter ] you know, like a bank for your plates. [ light laughter ] you would deposit plates, and then if you had a dinner party, you would take out the number of plates for the guests you had. And then if you didnt have room for the plates at your house, at the end of the meal, you deposit the plates. [ light laughter ] i cant believe this. Theyre a chinese bank. So we keep getting more reasons to worry that trump could use his office to benefit himself, and yet, in spite of all this mounting evidence, that trumps sprawling Business Empire could pose a massive problem for his presidency, he continues to insist everything is fine. Donald trump told the New York Times the law is on my side. The president cant have a conflict of interest. Seth the president cant have a conflict of interest. Echoed the words of a previous famously corrupt president. So what in a sense, youre saying is that, there are certain situations and the houston plan or that part of it was one of them, where the president can decide that its in the best interest of the nation, or something, and do something illegal. Well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal. [ laughter ] seth trump and nixon, just a couple of tricky dicks. This has been a closer look. . . [ cheers and applause ] guys, give it up for the 8g band right over there. [ cheers and applause ] also very excited our band leader, fred armisen, is back with us tonight.
