breaking into Watergate

or Bill Clinton
with his Oval Office BJ

with his fake mutton chops.

You ain't fooling nobody,
Marty.

We know it's a weave.
8
00:00:29,429 --> 00:00:33,133

famous for just one scandal,

Donald Trump has
truly changed the game.

he took his office, Donald--

It's only been four?
16
00:00:51,118 --> 00:00:53,520
In the four years
since he took office,
17
00:00:53,554 --> 00:00:55,956
Donald Trump has had
so many scandals,
18
00:00:55,989 --> 00:00:58,058
they're going to have
to retire his jersey
19
00:00:58,091 --> 00:00:59,493
which is probably a bad idea.
20
00:00:59,526 --> 00:01:00,994
That tie is going to hang
all the way to the floor
21
00:01:01,028 --> 00:01:02,429

and he had
a very interesting life.

- Before Donald Trump was
in the Oval Office,

he was in business:
every business.

he likes his pants:
double stuffed.
91
00:03:38,352 --> 00:03:40,020
So when Trump ran
for president,
92
00:03:40,053 --> 00:03:42,623
it's no surprise
that he saw dollar signs.
93
00:03:43,557 --> 00:03:46,593
During his campaign, candidate
Trump paid businessman Trump

for expenses like air fare,

Angus beef.

The grift was going great
100
00:04:01,808 --> 00:04:03,810
until the unthinkable
happened.
101
00:04:03,844 --> 00:04:07,548
- Donald J. Trump will become
the 45th President
102
00:04:07,581 --> 00:04:09,049
of the United States.
103
00:04:09,082 --> 00:04:11,652
- Which was a problem because
the president's job
104
00:04:11,685 --> 00:04:15,222
is to protect and defend
the Constitution or whatever,
105
00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:17,624
not to get rich.
[cheers and applause]
106
00:04:17,658 --> 00:04:19,960
So Donald Trump selflessly
promised the nation
107
00:04:19,993 --> 00:04:21,461
that he would give it all up.
108
00:04:21,495 --> 00:04:26,600
- My two sons are going to be
running the company.
109
00:04:26,633 --> 00:04:28,602
They're not going to
discuss it with me.
110
00:04:28,635 --> 00:04:30,504
- That's right.
Trump would part
111
00:04:30,537 --> 00:04:32,372
with his
precious businesses,
112
00:04:32,406 --> 00:04:34,107
and his only consolation:
113
00:04:34,141 --> 00:04:36,844
not having to talk
to his sons.
114
00:04:36,877 --> 00:04:38,312
But much like those folders,
115
00:04:38,345 --> 00:04:40,380
Trump's promise proved
to be empty.
116
00:04:40,414 --> 00:04:43,050
- The president-elect
has decided he will not sell
117
00:04:43,083 --> 00:04:45,786
his assets or place them
in a blind trust.
118
00:04:45,819 --> 00:04:48,021

to his own companies
for the entire time,

00:04:55,529 --> 00:04:57,898
and that means then
to his own pockets.

He charges them to stay there.

Federal spending records show

more than $900,000
just since he took office.

who is officially
running the family business

while daddy focuses
on the good of the country,

00:05:22,389 --> 00:05:25,225
the Trump organization only
charges the Secret Service--
136
00:05:25,259 --> 00:05:27,594
- You know, we charge them,
like, you know, $50.
137
00:05:27,628 --> 00:05:31,265
- Like, $50 a night
for a hotel room.
138
00:05:31,298 --> 00:05:32,599
But according to the receipts,
139
00:05:32,633 --> 00:05:36,103
the real bill
is more than $650
140
00:05:36,136 --> 00:05:38,205
which means they're either
being way overcharged,
141
00:05:38,238 --> 00:05:39,606
or there's one
Secret Service agent
142
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,642
who absolutely loves
Toblerone.
143
00:05:43,043 --> 00:05:44,378
But upcharging suckers
144
00:05:44,411 --> 00:05:46,480
who have to stay
at his property is one thing.
145
00:05:46,513 --> 00:05:50,317
The big bucks are in visitors
who choose to stay there
146
00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:52,920
because you never know when
lining a president's pockets
147
00:05:52,953 --> 00:05:54,254
might be the thing to get him
148
00:05:54,288 --> 00:05:56,990
to rewrite federal policy
in your favor.
149
00:05:57,024 --> 00:05:59,893
- We know that foreign
governments are spending
150
00:05:59,927 --> 00:06:02,262
money there
in order to curry favor

with the President
of the United States.
152
00:06:04,865 --> 00:06:06,366
- The Philippines, Kuwait,

the government
of Saudi Arabia,
154
00:06:07,935 --> 00:06:10,137
through its lobbyists,
paid for 500 nights and rooms,
155
00:06:10,170 --> 00:06:12,072
and we have seen
corporate clients do it too.

for a big merger

from the Trump administration,

they've spent more
than $195,000 on rooms there.
159
00:06:18,812 --> 00:06:20,881
- Yes, foreign governments
and corporations
160
00:06:20,914 --> 00:06:22,816
are greasing
the Trumps' palms,
161
00:06:22,850 --> 00:06:24,284
and from the looks of it,
162
00:06:24,318 --> 00:06:27,754
greasing their hair
and faces too.
163
00:06:27,788 --> 00:06:30,290
Of course, Trump isn't
the only one winning here.
164
00:06:30,324 --> 00:06:32,025
The president's
financial entanglements
165
00:06:32,059 --> 00:06:33,827
with foreign governments
have given Americans
166
00:06:33,861 --> 00:06:35,629
something better than money:
167
00:06:35,662 --> 00:06:38,765
the opportunity to learn what
the Emoluments Clause is.
168
00:06:38,799 --> 00:06:41,034
- Emolument is basically
a payment.
169
00:06:41,068 --> 00:06:43,136
- Yes.
According to so-called lawyers
170
00:06:43,170 --> 00:06:45,739
familiar with
the so-called Constitution,

receiving money or gifts
172
00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:49,943
from foreign governments
is illegal,
173
00:06:49,977 --> 00:06:51,245
but on the other hand--
174
00:06:51,278 --> 00:06:53,280
- You people with this phony

he will still be the first

Donald Trump has all of these

and because of that,
200
00:07:50,403 --> 00:07:52,805
he's now the most

to correct misinformation from
President Trump about Dorian.

00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:28,728
- President Trump tweeted...
272
00:10:35,801 --> 00:10:38,370
- The National Weather Service
corrected the president,
273
00:10:38,404 --> 00:10:42,274
saying, "Alabama will not see
any impacts from Dorian."
274
00:10:42,308 --> 00:10:45,778

scientists who have

to the study
of weather patterns,
278
00:10:52,118 --> 00:10:53,352
or a man who thinks wind
279
00:10:53,385 --> 00:10:54,954
is caused by birds
flapping too hard?
280
00:10:54,987 --> 00:10:58,524
- This is a tough hurricane,
one of the wettest

we've ever seen
from the standpoint of water.
282
00:11:01,927 --> 00:11:03,462
- As the people of Alabama
braced for
283

either massive destruction
or slightly overcast skies,
284
00:11:06,565 --> 00:11:09,502
there was still time
to avoid disaster.
285
00:11:09,535 --> 00:11:11,337
All President Trump
had to say was,
286
00:11:11,370 --> 00:11:13,105
"Sorry, I was wrong.
287
00:11:13,139 --> 00:11:15,141
The hurricane
is not going to hit"--
288
00:11:15,174 --> 00:11:17,643
- Alabama is gonna get
a piece of it, it looks like.
289
00:11:17,676 --> 00:11:20,813
It is a very,
very powerful hurricane.
290
00:11:20,846 --> 00:11:23,182
A great place,
it's called Alabama,
291
00:11:23,215 --> 00:11:24,850
and Alabama could even be in
292
00:11:24,884 --> 00:11:27,319
for at least
some very strong winds
293
00:11:27,353 --> 00:11:29,221
and something more than that,
it could be.
294
00:11:29,255 --> 00:11:31,223
- That's right.
Although the experts
295
00:11:31,257 --> 00:11:33,492
tried to make Trump
understand,
296
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:36,695
he had already
boarded up his ears.
297
00:11:36,729 --> 00:11:38,464
Hurricane Dorian had moved on,
298
00:11:38,497 --> 00:11:41,000
narrowly missing Alabama
by 600 miles,
299
00:11:41,033 --> 00:11:44,003
but Hurricane Donald
was just forming.
300
00:11:44,036 --> 00:11:46,739
After seeing an ABC News
report on his mistake,
301
00:11:46,772 --> 00:11:49,375
Trump gained new strength,
tweeting...
302
00:11:53,846 --> 00:11:56,615
- It was a direct attack
on science and also
303
00:11:56,649 --> 00:11:58,551
on Twitter
user Jonathan Carl,
304
00:11:58,584 --> 00:11:59,685
who is a Kentucky pastor
305
00:11:59,718 --> 00:12:02,588
and not ABC News
anchor Jon Karl,
306
00:12:02,621 --> 00:12:06,092
an innocent victim
of Hurricane Donald.
307
00:12:06,125 --> 00:12:07,593
Over the next 36 hours,
308
00:12:07,626 --> 00:12:10,029
Hurricane Donald
seemed to die down,
309
00:12:10,062 --> 00:12:12,531
but then it returned...
310
00:12:12,565 --> 00:12:13,933
this time with a Sharpie.
311
00:12:13,966 --> 00:12:16,135
- In a White House video
released Wednesday,
312
00:12:16,168 --> 00:12:17,837
Trump displays a modified
313
00:12:17,870 --> 00:12:20,372
National Hurricane Center
forecast.
314
00:12:20,406 --> 00:12:23,976
The graphic appears to have
been altered with a Sharpie
315
00:12:24,009 --> 00:12:27,012
to indicate a risk the storm
would move into Alabama.
316
00:12:27,046 --> 00:12:30,483
- I know that Alabama was
in the original forecast.
317
00:12:30,516 --> 00:12:32,885
They actually gave
that a 95 percent chance.
318
00:12:32,918 --> 00:12:35,855
- That's right. Donald Trump
tried to redraw a map
319
00:12:35,888 --> 00:12:38,190
with a Sharpie.
320
00:12:38,224 --> 00:12:39,792
Have some respect
for our intelligence.
321
00:12:39,825 --> 00:12:42,328
At least learn Photoshop.
322
00:12:42,361 --> 00:12:44,363
But what if the culprit
wasn't Trump at all?
323
00:12:44,397 --> 00:12:46,565
- That map that you showed
us today looked like it almost
324
00:12:46,599 --> 00:12:48,868
had, like, a Sharpie--
- I don't know. I don't know.
325
00:12:48,901 --> 00:12:50,736
- It was a real mystery.
326
00:12:50,770 --> 00:12:54,507
Who could have possibly taken
a Sharpie to a hurricane map?
327
00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:57,643
It had to be someone with an
almost pathological obsession
328
00:12:57,676 --> 00:12:59,945
with using
the permanent markers
329
00:12:59,979 --> 00:13:02,982
as if they needed their marks
to be the boldest,
330
00:13:03,015 --> 00:13:06,419
the loudest,
the most permanent, but who?
331
00:13:06,452 --> 00:13:08,621
There would be no way
to know for certain.
332
00:13:08,654 --> 00:13:11,457
The storm raged for days,
growing in strength
333
00:13:11,490 --> 00:13:14,326
until it became
a category five tweet storm.
334
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,062
Government agencies
that most Americans
335
00:13:16,095 --> 00:13:17,830
had never even heard
of were transformed
336
00:13:17,863 --> 00:13:20,266
into hazardous projectiles
by the gale.
337
00:13:20,299 --> 00:13:23,903
- Secretary of Commerce Wilbur
Ross threatened to fire
338
00:13:23,936 --> 00:13:28,908
top employees at NOA on Friday
after the agency's Birmingham
339
00:13:28,941 --> 00:13:31,644
office contradicted
Trump's claim.
340
00:13:31,677 --> 00:13:33,846
- What began as one bad tweet
had escalated
341
00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:37,416
into a full-scale political
scandal with not one,
342
00:13:37,450 --> 00:13:41,220
not two, but three
government investigations.
343
00:13:41,253 --> 00:13:43,789
Like a Sharpie drawn
on a fake path of a hurricane,
344
00:13:43,823 --> 00:13:47,426
it's a scandal that
simply can't be erased
345
00:13:47,460 --> 00:13:50,396
all because there was
a hurricane over a year ago
346
00:13:50,429 --> 00:13:53,999
that had a five to 20%
chance of hitting Alabama
347
00:13:54,033 --> 00:13:56,702

00:20:35,466 --> 00:20:38,102
he announces that he's running
for president in 2024,
520
00:20:38,136 --> 00:20:40,538
but that's going to be
two relaxing-ass weeks,
521
00:20:40,571 --> 00:20:41,539
and I can't wait.
522
00:20:41,572 --> 00:20:42,740
But until then,
523
00:20:42,774 --> 00:20:45,743
let's dive back in
on our list at number 25.
524
00:20:45,777 --> 00:20:47,345
♪
525
00:20:47,378 --> 00:20:49,714
- Donald Trump and his father
built the family's empire
526
00:20:49,747 --> 00:20:52,016

were tear-gassed.

detention facilities
531
00:21:01,859 --> 00:21:03,361

to fund
the president's border wall.
537
00:21:13,171 --> 00:21:18,576
- This is an island
surrounded by water,
538
00:21:18,609 --> 00:21:20,278
big water, ocean water.
539
00:21:20,311 --> 00:21:21,412
- China should continue
540
00:21:21,446 --> 00:21:22,914
building these
concentration camps
541
00:21:22,947 --> 00:21:24,982
for the mass detention
of Uyghur Muslims
542
00:21:25,016 --> 00:21:27,218
because President Trump
thought that, quote,
543
00:21:27,251 --> 00:21:29,253
"was exactly
the right thing to do."
544
00:21:29,287 --> 00:21:32,490
- And then we fell
in love, okay? No, really.
545
00:21:38,763 --> 00:21:41,332

golf,

00:21:47,705 --> 00:21:50,475
to one of his golf clubs
since taking office.
550
00:21:50,508 --> 00:21:53,411
- Our media is the enemy
of the people.
551
00:21:53,444 --> 00:21:55,580
Somebody said I should not
criticize judges.
552
00:21:55,613 --> 00:21:57,482
Okay, I'll criticize judges.
553
00:21:57,515 --> 00:21:58,850
- Trump has now made more
554
00:21:58,883 --> 00:22:01,319
than 20,000 misleading
or false statements.
555
00:22:01,352 --> 00:22:03,788
- The president,
who routinely skips reading
556
00:22:03,821 --> 00:22:05,957
the president's
daily briefing.
557
00:22:05,990 --> 00:22:07,859
- I, Amy Coney Barrett--
558
00:22:07,892 --> 00:22:09,394
- Russia wanted Donald Trump
to win,
559
00:22:09,427 --> 00:22:11,963
that his campaign was eager
to accept Russia's help.
560
00:22:11,996 --> 00:22:15,299
- The president said, "I need
loyalty. I expect loyalty."

- Woodward pressed the
president about MBS' role
562
00:22:18,736 --> 00:22:20,238
in Khashoggi's murder.
563
00:22:20,271 --> 00:22:23,241
Trump told Woodward,
"I saved his ass."
564
00:22:23,274 --> 00:22:25,343
- Another woman comes forward
with another claim
565
00:22:25,376 --> 00:22:26,944

♪
570
00:22:38,056 --> 00:22:40,925
- A global pandemic would be
a crisis for any president,
571
00:22:40,958 --> 00:22:43,428
but it would take Donald Trump
to turn coronavirus
572
00:22:43,461 --> 00:22:44,996
into not just a scandal
573
00:22:45,029 --> 00:22:47,865
but one of the biggest
scandals of all time.
574
00:22:47,899 --> 00:22:50,268
- You can call it a germ.
You can call it a flu.
575
00:22:50,301 --> 00:22:51,536
You can call it a virus.
576
00:22:51,569 --> 00:22:52,970
You know, you can
call it many different names.
577
00:22:53,004 --> 00:22:55,640
I'm not sure anybody
even knows what it is.
578
00:22:55,673 --> 00:22:57,642
- Trump was working on
screwing up the pandemic
579
00:22:57,675 --> 00:23:00,144
before there was even
a pandemic to screw up.
580
00:23:00,178 --> 00:23:01,846
- The Trump administration
disbanded
581
00:23:01,879 --> 00:23:04,782
the National Security Council's
pandemic unit in 2018.
582
00:23:04,816 --> 00:23:06,617
- We worked very well
with that office.
583
00:23:06,651 --> 00:23:09,087
It would be nice
if the office was still there.
584
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:11,089
- And when the outbreak
began in Wuhan,
585
00:23:11,122 --> 00:23:13,725
the Trump screw-ups
really began taking off.
586
00:23:13,758 --> 00:23:16,494
As China tried to hide
how bad things were,
587
00:23:16,527 --> 00:23:17,929
Trump helped them cover it up
588
00:23:17,962 --> 00:23:19,630
because he wanted
a trade agreement.
589
00:23:19,664 --> 00:23:21,265
- It's all taken care of,
590
00:23:21,299 --> 00:23:22,967
and China is working very hard
on the problem.
591
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,636
- That's called the art
of the deal.
592
00:23:25,670 --> 00:23:28,106
The next screw-up came when
the virus reached America.
593
00:23:28,139 --> 00:23:31,476
You have 15 people, and the 15,
within a couple of days,
594
00:23:31,509 --> 00:23:33,644
is going to be down
to close to zero.
595
00:23:33,678 --> 00:23:35,346
- Just as China
was finally admitting
596
00:23:35,380 --> 00:23:37,248
that this thing was more
viral than a white girl
597
00:23:37,281 --> 00:23:38,616
dancing on TikTok,
598
00:23:38,649 --> 00:23:40,685
Trump began
doing the opposite.
599
00:23:40,718 --> 00:23:42,887
- This is a flu.
This is like a flu.
600
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,655
It's going to disappear
one day.
601
00:23:44,689 --> 00:23:46,290
It's like a miracle.
It will disappear.
602
00:23:46,324 --> 00:23:47,892
You're going to have a kid
with the sniffles,
603
00:23:47,925 --> 00:23:50,028
and they'll say
it's coronavirus,
604
00:23:50,061 --> 00:23:51,229
whatever you want to call it.
605
00:23:51,262 --> 00:23:53,197
- Yes, according to Trump,
COVID
606
00:23:53,231 --> 00:23:56,534
was something you could
simply ignore like consent.
607
00:23:58,736 --> 00:24:00,271
- But even though COVID
was no more harmful
608
00:24:00,304 --> 00:24:03,307
than just a case
of the sniffly-wifflies,
609
00:24:03,341 --> 00:24:06,377
he still put together a task
force led by the smartest guy
610
00:24:06,411 --> 00:24:08,546
he could find one office over.
611
00:24:08,579 --> 00:24:10,381
This guy had
lots of experience
612
00:24:10,415 --> 00:24:13,951
when it comes to not handling
a public health crisis.
613
00:24:13,985 --> 00:24:15,687
While Trump continued
to promise that COVID...
614
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,889
- Is going away,
and it will go away,
615
00:24:17,922 --> 00:24:19,590
and we're going to have
a great victory.
616
00:24:19,624 --> 00:24:20,992
- He did everything
he could think of
617
00:24:21,025 --> 00:24:22,360
to make sure it stuck around.
618
00:24:22,393 --> 00:24:23,728
- So I said to my people,
619
00:24:23,761 --> 00:24:25,930
"Slow the testing down,
please."
620
00:24:25,963 --> 00:24:29,434
With the masks, it's going
to be really a voluntary thing.
621
00:24:29,467 --> 00:24:30,935
You can do it.
You don't have to do it.
622
00:24:30,968 --> 00:24:33,037
I'm choosing not to do it.
- The Trump administration
623
00:24:33,071 --> 00:24:35,373
dismissed the PPE shortage
624
00:24:35,406 --> 00:24:38,076
and instead encouraged
reusing supplies.
625
00:24:38,109 --> 00:24:39,811
- I don't take
responsibility at all.
626
00:24:40,845 --> 00:24:42,213
- Eventually,
Trump was persuaded
627
00:24:42,246 --> 00:24:44,649
to take the pandemic
a little more seriously.
628
00:24:44,682 --> 00:24:48,252
- I am confident that by
counting and continuing
629
00:24:48,286 --> 00:24:50,488
to take these tough measures--
630
00:24:50,521 --> 00:24:53,224
- Even if he pretty clearly
wasn't happy about it
631
00:24:53,257 --> 00:24:54,726
- Okay.
632
00:24:54,759 --> 00:24:56,227
- Hey, I know how you feel,
Donald.
633
00:24:56,260 --> 00:24:58,196
I get cranky too
when a pandemic pulls me away
634
00:24:58,229 --> 00:25:00,565
from my 18 hours of golf.
635
00:25:00,598 --> 00:25:02,734
But before long,
the second wave of screw-ups
636
00:25:02,767 --> 00:25:06,471
would begin as Trump
went full snake-oil salesman.
637
00:25:06,504 --> 00:25:10,041
- Hydroxychloroquine.
638
00:25:10,074 --> 00:25:12,243
Try it if you'd like.
639
00:25:12,276 --> 00:25:13,878
And then I see
the disinfectant.
640
00:25:13,911 --> 00:25:15,246
Is there a way
we can do something
641
00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:18,916
like that by injection?
642
00:25:18,950 --> 00:25:21,386
- Turns out the D in DJT
stands for Doubtful,
643
00:25:21,419 --> 00:25:23,721
and the J stands for,
"Jesus, did he just say
644
00:25:23,755 --> 00:25:26,057
that we should inject
ourselves with bleach?"
645
00:25:28,126 --> 00:25:29,894
- Still, his people rejoiced,
646
00:25:29,927 --> 00:25:34,265
sharing the good news
about why masks are bad.
647
00:25:34,298 --> 00:25:36,000
- You're violating federal law.
648
00:25:37,969 --> 00:25:40,438
- Back up!
- Ahh!
649
00:25:40,471 --> 00:25:43,474
- Showing up at his rallies
without a care in the world.
650
00:25:43,508 --> 00:25:47,311
- They are dying. That's true,
and it is what it is.
651
00:25:47,345 --> 00:25:49,881
- As the US became a global
leader in coronavirus,
652
00:25:49,914 --> 00:25:52,116
it seemed like the good times
would never end
653
00:25:52,150 --> 00:25:54,352
until it all
came crashing down.
654
00:25:54,385 --> 00:25:57,021
- Breaking news overnight:
President Trump and First Lady
655
00:25:57,055 --> 00:25:59,557
Melania Trump test positive
for the coronavirus.
656
00:25:59,590 --> 00:26:01,759
- At least 28 people connected
to President Trump
657
00:26:01,793 --> 00:26:03,961
have tested positive
for COVID.
658
00:26:03,995 --> 00:26:06,631
- It's a sobering reminder
that coronavirus is real,
659
00:26:06,664 --> 00:26:08,266
and even the most
powerful people,
660
00:26:08,299 --> 00:26:10,835
even the President
of the United States,
661
00:26:10,868 --> 00:26:14,038
are vulnerable
to this terrible disease.
662
00:26:14,072 --> 00:26:16,641
Nah, you can't hurt
Donald Trump.
663
00:26:16,674 --> 00:26:18,276
His blood is made
of cheeseburgers.
664
00:26:18,309 --> 00:26:21,212
- I'm immune. I could come down
and start kissing everybody.
665
00:26:21,245 --> 00:26:22,780
♪
666
00:26:22,814 --> 00:26:25,183
- So even as Trump's first
term comes to an end...
667
00:26:25,216 --> 00:26:26,851
- COVID, COVID, COVID!
668
00:26:26,884 --> 00:26:30,421
- His most impressive scandal
keeps soaring to new heights.
669
00:26:30,455 --> 00:26:31,756
- On a scale of one to 10,
670
00:26:31,789 --> 00:26:34,225
how would you rate
your response to this crisis?
671
00:26:34,258 --> 00:26:35,526
- I'd rate it a 10.
672
00:26:37,161 --> 00:26:39,897
- Well, there you have it,
100 tremendous scandals
673
00:26:39,931 --> 00:26:44,302
that almost did
in 244 years of democracy.
674
00:26:44,335 --> 00:26:48,773
Thanks for watching,
and join us again never.
675
00:26:48,806 --> 00:26:51,509
Like, seriously, I can't do
another four years like that.
676
00:26:51,542 --> 00:26:55,179
My heart
cannot take that at all.
677
00:26:55,213 --> 00:26:58,282
For "The Daily Show,"
I'm Roy Wood Jr.
678
00:26:58,316 --> 00:26:59,684
Good night.
679
00:26:59,717 --> 00:27:02,787
Hey, y'all know if Trevor
got any extra COVID vaccines?
680
00:27:02,820 --> 00:27:04,689
I know he probably
got it early.
681
00:27:04,722 --> 00:27:07,892
- Friend of mine said, "You
have to be the most innocent,
682
00:27:07,925 --> 00:27:11,162
honorable man ever to hold
the office of President."
683
00:27:11,195 --> 00:27:12,497
Think of it.
"You've gotta be
684
00:27:12,530 --> 00:27:15,900
the most innocent
ever to hold this office,"
685
00:27:15,933 --> 00:27:16,000
and there's a lot of truth
to that.
