At trump tower today. No word on what they interrupted each other about. [ laughter ] jeb bush told reporters today that he does not think russia influenced the election. And ifnybody knows about not influencing elections it is jeb bush. [ laughter and applause ] donald trump nominated exxon mobil Ceo Rex Tillerson as his secretary of state, calling him an excellent choice. Complimenting his own decisions. [ laughter ] ill have the fillet. Medium rare. Excellent choice. [ light laughter ] former Vice President dick cheney, today, praised Donald Trumps secretary of ho state pick Rex Tillerson, calling him an inspired choice. So, tillerson has the support of dick cheney, vmi donald trump. That only leaves on person. Excellent. [ laughter ] seth its unanimous. And now its unanimous. Former Texas Governor rick perry has been named Donald Trumps pick for secretary of energy. And i have to say he is the most qualified candidate from that particular season of dancing with the stars. [ laughter and applause ] hes got a lot of energy. Many of the Small Businesses surrounding trump tower in manhattan have reportedly seen a huge decrease in sales due to the heightened security. And none of hit harder than eric and donald jr. s lemonade stand. [ laughter ] theres no traffic anymore. Theres no foot traffic. I know, you need foot traffic to sell lemonade. Youre telling me eric. Youre telling me donald jr. [ light laughter ] Rudy Guiliani said today that he had too much going on to accept a cabinet appointment from donald trump. Added guiliani, these pigeons arent going to yell at themselves. [ laughter and applause ] and finally, google is reportedly ending its well. [ screeching ] [ crash ] we got a great show for you tonight everybody. [ cheers and applause ] he is one of our favorites here on late night. He has a new book called our revolution a future to believe in. Senator Bernie Sanders [ cheers and applause ] eited. The show tonight. Such an important time to be talking to him. Shes the star of the new film why him . Zoey deutch is on the show tonight. A fantastic young actor. And we will also have standup from the very funny dan levy, stand c re here on a good one. To tha throughout the Campaign Donald trump claimed that only he can fight special interests on behalf of working people. T as he continues his transitione is filling his cabinet with wealthy elites and hardliners. For more on thists time for a closer look. . . [ applause ] . Dold trump chimself as a champion of the woing class who would take owall stree and fix a rigged system. Even going so far as to claim that he personally did not get along with rich people. My weakest supporters were very rich people. Isnt that funny . I dont get along that well with rich. I dont even like the rich people that much. Its like a weird deal. Seth isnt that funny . The people that know me best, hate me . [ laughter ] what a weird coincidence. Trump says he doesnt get along with the rich and wont cozy up to special interests. So who did he pick for secretary president elect donald trump officially announcing that he is naming exxon mobil Ceo Rex Tillerson to be secretary of state. Hes a very wealthy man. Hes got over 115 million worth of exxon shares at this point. This is a man that made more than 240 million last year. Seth i guess when they drained that swamp, there was oil at the bottom [ light laughter ] now tillerson has already come under scrutiny from democrats and republicans for his ties to with russias stateowned oil company and his personal friendship with vladimir putin. Trumps former campaign manager, kellyanne conway, tried to downplay tillersons connection with russia on sunday. And Rex Tillerson e pounding in wn vodkas at the local bar. Theyre not intimate friends. Seth thats ridiculous. Putin doesnt pound vodka. He sips it slowly while james bond dangles from a rope above a shark tank. [ laughter and applause ] so trump nominated a wealthy ceo with ties to russian oligarchs. And tillerson is just the latest edition to a cabinet full of millionaires and billionaires that was already worth a total of 14 billion. Now another frequent line you might remember from Trumps Campaign is that he would not be beholden to wealthy donors because he would be selffunding his campaign. I dont want lobbyists. I dont want special interests. I dont want their money. I turned the money down. I turned down so much money i and you know, its not my life. Its not my life. My whole life has been money. I want money. I want money. Greedy. I was greedy. Greedy. I want more money. More money. Seth trumps own imitation of himself makes him sound like a hungry grimace, but for money. [ applause ] hes a money grimace. But the connection does make sense because trump and grimace have worked together before. Dollar . How do you do it . Whats your secret . Seth hey, grimace did you hear trump is going to be our president. What do you think about that . Yeah, me too. [ light laughter ] so, trump claims he wouldnt be indebted to campaign donors. But his cabinet tells a different story. Hes already appointed six donors who gave him total of 12 million during the campaign. Former hewlettpackard ceo and failed president ial candidate, carly fiorina. After the meeting, fiorina spoke to the media and immediately focused on what matters most to working people all the cool stuff trump has at his office. We had a really productive meeting. It was such an honor to meet with the president elect. First have to say, he s really cool stuff in his office. All of these athletes have given him this incredible memorabilia. I was particularly taken by shock oneals shoe, whichs huge. Seth first of all its shaq, not shock. [ light laughter ] second of all the shaq is short for both the shaquille and the oneal. If you say shaq, no one will follow up with which shaq . [ light laughter ] its like when i heard kanye went to trump tower today, i didnt say Kanye Berkowitz . Why was fiorina there anyway . What position is she being considered for . A transition official says that fiorina is under of national intelligence. Seth okay, now i know you might be skeptical of the idea that being ceo of hewlettpackard makes you qualified to be director of national intelligence. But fiorina would actually make a great spy since she is so good at disaparing. Y may rember from her appearance at a ted cruz rally this summer. The next president of the united states,ed cru . < . . [ laughter ] seth tha sblack s eep ] right there. [ applse ] now, you might also remember from the campaign that donald tmp often railed against wall strt and sited one especially powerful bank in particular for its sway over politicians like ted cruz and hillary clinton. I know the guys at Goldman Sachs they have total, total, total control over him. Just like they have total control over hillary clinton. Do we all like ted cruz . He borrowed money from s and now he is going to go after goldman sach it doesnt work that way. Goldman sachs owns ted cruz. And fun fact they keep him in a terrarium. [ light laughter ] so, trump slammed his rivals for being controlled by Goldman Sachs. Well, youll never guess who he chose to fill the two most important economic jobs in his administration. Oh, you already guessed. We, watch this anyway. Presintelect donald trump has chosen former Goldman Sachs banker Steve Mnunchin to be the secretary of treasury. Steve mnunchin spent 17 years at Goldman Sachs. Goldman sachs president and chief erating officer gary cohn as the directo in that role, cohn will be one of mr. Trumps top economic advisors. Seth better make room for th terrarium. [ light laughter ] and mnunchin isnt just y banker, hes the elite of the elite. For example he founded dune capital management, a hedge fund named after the dunes near his beach house in the hamptons. Drove a porsche in college and a classmate once told mnunchin, quote, you put the douche in fiduciary. [ laughter ] a pretty sweet burn that was no doubt followed by some very [ light laughter ] but,ts nojust that trumps cabinet picks are rich that it makes them problematic. This is a capitalist nation and theres nothing trinsically wrong with getting rich. Its that for many of his choices thr records dont necessarily suggest that theyll be champions of working people. Mnunchin, for example, ran a bank called one west that carried out more than 36,000 foreclosures. And was known for its shoddy foreclosure practices. In one example, the company foreclosed on a 90yearold woman after a 27 cent payment error. Th woman over 27 cents. Whats next . Is he going to repossess tiny tims crutches. [ light laughter ] and then theres the nominee for labor secretary. The ceo of carls jr. And hardees, andy puzder. Puzder has opposed minimum wage increases and said he would like to replace his human workers with machines. And his own companies have been accused of violating the very same labor laws he will now be in charge of enforcing. So, why would trp pick h . Well, you might recall that carls jr. Is famous for its ads featuring scanti clad women when those ads came der fire, puzder and the company defended them this way last year puzder told these website entrepreneurs this, i li ads. I like beautiful women eatg burgers in bikinis. I think its very american. Five years ago carls jr. Put out a press release. Heres what they saiin it. We believe in putting hot models in our commercials because ugly ones do not sell burgers. Seth trump heard that and thought, this is a man i can trust. [ light laughter ] and these arst he also appointed an epa chief who doesnt accept the scientific consensuses on climate change. And has repoedly chosen Texas Governor rick perry for Energy Secretary. Now, the Energy Secretary is, among other things, responsible for safe guarding the Nations Nuclear weapons. So you need to know what your doing. Our current Energy Secretary, ernest moniz, is a worldrenowned nuclear physicist. But in rick perrys defense, he wears glasses. I see rick perry the other day. He put glasses on so people will think hes smart. And it just wasnt work. You know, people can see through the glasses. [ laughter ] seth how are you feeling about all of this grimace . Yeah, me too. This has been a closer look. . . [ cheers and applaus well be right back with our friend, senator Bernie Sanders, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] lips appear to age faster than other skin.

[ cheers and applause ] seth welcome back, everybody. Please give it up for the 8g band right over there. [ cheers and applause ] also, back with us tonight, we have the twotime grammy awardwinning drumming legend sitting in with our band. Hes a cofounder of metal icon sl, featuring the vocal talents of mike patton. Dave lombardo is here everybody. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. Seth thank you so much for being here, dave. Our first guest tonight is a u. S. Senator from vermont who won 22 states in the democratic primary. His new book, our revolution a future to believe in, is in stores now. Please welcome back to the show, our friend, senator Bernie Sanders, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] seth how are you . I am great. [ cheers and applause ] seth its always always so nice to have you here. I feel like weve had you about four times in a little under two years and every time you come, the world is completely different than the last time you were here. And now were in the situation where a lot of people within the Democratic Party are looking for leadership, r new ideas, after this election. And a lot of people are turning to you. Which must be strange, because you were not even in the Democratic Party for a very long time. So you it must be strange for you to all of a sudden be the head of something that you were an outsider for a very long time. To say the least. Seth yeah. Yes, it is. But i think the reason for that has a lot to do with the fact that we generated a whole lot of excitement in our campaign from about profound change in this country. And they are prepared to work for that. And i think the democratic leadership understands that we need to bring those people into the party. We need to transform the party. We need to make the Democratic Party a Democratic Party with a small d. So all of you, come on in. We need your help. [ cheers and applause ] seth there you go. Everybody in. You the last time y were he, we were talking about the Democratic Party s building this progressive message and this progressive message moving forward. And in the book now, you talk about another difficult thing, its not just the progressive message, but just dealing with reality. All of a sudden now reality, which has been a thing that was assumed that we all agreed on, has shifted. How hard is it right now to just get people to accept the truth. Or not the truth, but things that are real and things that are facts. Well, you know, we have a wellknown for being scrupulously honest. Lets say that. [ light laughter ] seth thats a very nice way of saying it. Thats a nice way to say that. And ill give you some examples. And were going to hold him accountable on these issues. He campaigned among working people and he said, im the only republican out there. Im not going to cut social security. Im not going to cut medicare. And im not going to cut medicaid. Well, you know, mr. Trump, were going to hold you accountable foos [ applause ] and this at a time when Prescription Drug costs are soaring, people cant afford the medicine they need. Some people are dying, because medicine is so expensive. He said, im going to take on the drug companies. Well, mr. Trump, were going to work with you, iyou keep your word. But the point is you cant make statements in a campaign and then the day after the election, forget about them completely. Show, you said, we are going to be standing up for working people. We are antiestablishment. Well if the cabinet that he pointed of billionaires and millioes timenty i would hate to see at the esta hment looks like. Seth yeah, exactly. [ applause ] you know, we were there were so many trump voters and we were talking about this backstage. Trump voters who voted for obama twice. Yes. Seth and then voted for donald trump. So these people are not racists. No. Seth they dont have a how did the Democratic Party lose those people. And what can they do to get them back . Seth, this is maybe the most important point that i want to make. And we dont see it much on tv or in the media. There are a lot of people in this country who are hurting, who are in a lot of pain tonight. There are people who are 55 years of age who have zero amount of dollars in the bank as they await retirement. Half of the elderly workers in this country have nothing in the there are young people who graduate college 50,000 in debt and are making 14,000 a year. There are 28 Million People who have no health insurance. There are others who are seeing their healthcare cost soar, their Prescription Drugs soar. There are people who are working at decent jobs in the factory and you know what happened . That factory moved to china and now theyre working at a walmart for 10 bucks an hour and they cant make it. And not only that, these are the people who are worried to death about their kids. Are their kids going to be able to have a home of ei the money to have kids . And trump tapped that. He trapped that. He said, i hear you and im going to do something about it. Well, between you and me, i dont think he was honest. Maybe im wrong. I dont think he was sincere. But he tapped that pain that people were feeling. And what we have got to do is to stand up for those people. And what we have to do, is get toause the cof those economic problems, which in my view, has a lot to do with the greed of wall street and corporate destroying the middle class of this country. [ applause ] seth i agree with you there. The president obama has made it very clear that hes hoping for a successful presidency for president elect trump. I am certainly hoping he is a successful president as well. What is how do you envision a successful donald Trump Presidency in a way that makes someone like you happy . Well, if he can create in this country, or help create, the truth is, in rural america, in inner cities in this country, unemployment is very, very high and wages are much too low. All right, trump said that he wants to get rid of the Affordable Care act and by the way, throw 20 or 30 Million People off of health insurance, because we dont have to worry abou . . Zt that. He has a great plan to provide health care for all people. Payer program, provide health care to every man, woman and child. Yeah, we will work with you. Thats a s sucign ofss. Mr. Trump has talked about the high cost of college. Make plic coll and you want to unersitiesuitionfree, that would me the world to miion . L famils in tcoy whose kiperadsesly need
