Amid increasing skepticism that 13 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,113 their boss will be able to pull another rabbit out of his maga 14 00:00:48,149 --> 00:00:50,682 hat. One reason trump's advisors are 15 00:00:50,718 --> 00:00:55,354 so worried he might not be able to win is because he lost. 16 00:00:55,389 --> 00:00:59,825 [ laughter ] [ applause ] 17 00:00:59,860 --> 00:01:05,197 and those don't go together. But I'll tell you something. 18 00:01:05,232 --> 00:01:08,734 There's no room for pessimism in the white house. 19 00:01:08,769 --> 00:01:11,437 Racyism, sexism, yes, but no pessimism. 20 00:01:11,472 --> 00:01:13,639 [ laughter ] the big orange guy is said to be 21 00:01:13,674 --> 00:01:17,743 feeling blue. "poutus" is reportedly dejected 22 00:01:17,778 --> 00:01:19,011 and fuming. And soon he's going to 23 00:01:19,046 --> 00:01:21,847 understand what it feels like to be evicted from your home in the 24 00:01:21,882 --> 00:01:23,082 middle of a pandemic. [ laughter ] 25 00:01:23,117 --> 00:01:27,186 we got a brief glimpse of the president yet yesterday at 26 00:01:27,221 --> 00:01:29,922 arlington national cemetery, but he hasn't spoken in public since 27 00:01:29,957 --> 00:01:34,126 a week ago. This was the president's 28 00:01:34,161 --> 00:01:36,128 schedule today. 12:30, he had lunch with the 29 00:01:36,163 --> 00:01:37,496 vice president. And that was that. 30 00:01:37,531 --> 00:01:39,298 [ laughter ] does he know that he's still 31 00:01:39,333 --> 00:01:41,633 president for two more months? Or is he just hiding? 32 00:01:41,669 --> 00:01:44,803 Boy, I would have loved to have been at that lunch. 33 00:01:44,839 --> 00:01:47,606 What do you think they talked about? 34 00:01:47,641 --> 00:01:50,509 Mike pence knows what's up. He's sitting there going, yes, 35 00:01:50,544 --> 00:01:52,377 sir, we'll be here for four more years for sure. 36 00:01:52,413 --> 00:01:56,582 It's like going to your grandpa in the nursing home, mistakes 37 00:01:56,617 --> 00:02:01,386 you for one of his army buddies, you just go with it. 38 00:02:01,422 --> 00:02:04,356 [ laughter ] I'm not sure why but I looked at 39 00:02:04,391 --> 00:02:05,958 the president's twitter profile today. 40 00:02:05,993 --> 00:02:10,362 Remember when donald trump used to follow 45 people because he's 41 00:02:10,397 --> 00:02:12,064 the 45th president? Look at how many people mike 42 00:02:12,099 --> 00:02:16,969 pence is following in right now. Zoom in there, 47. 43 00:02:17,004 --> 00:02:20,205 Trump 45, biden 46, pence 47. You sneaky mom, you. 44 00:02:20,241 --> 00:02:24,409 [ laughter ] I don't know, maybe he'll run 45 00:02:24,445 --> 00:02:26,879 against trump next time. Trump has been floating the idea 46 00:02:26,914 --> 00:02:31,483 that he'd run again in 2024. And 2028. 47 00:02:31,519 --> 00:02:33,752 And 2032. Every election for the rest of 48 00:02:33,787 --> 00:02:36,655 our lives, we'll have a donald trump in it. 49 00:02:36,690 --> 00:02:39,658 We're never getting rid of this guy. 50 00:02:39,693 --> 00:02:44,930 Like herpes and the mcrib, he'll just keep coming back. 51 00:02:44,965 --> 00:02:50,569 [ laughter and applause ] they say trump is watching more 52 00:02:50,604 --> 00:02:53,138 tv than usual. He's been lashing out at fox 53 00:02:53,174 --> 00:02:55,440 news of all places ever since they called arizona for joe 54 00:02:55,476 --> 00:02:58,277 biden last week. This morning he launched a 55 00:02:58,312 --> 00:03:02,281 full-frontal twitter assault on fox, retweeting things like, fox 56 00:03:02,316 --> 00:03:05,384 news is dead. Quite right, they've been a 57 00:03:05,419 --> 00:03:09,555 disaster since the election day. Clearly corrupt media. 58 00:03:09,590 --> 00:03:16,195 Hey old fox news lovers, go to newsmax, last least they're 59 00:03:16,230 --> 00:03:18,530 trying to be honest. Yeah, last least they are. 60 00:03:18,566 --> 00:03:19,798 [ laughter ] trump is encouraging his 61 00:03:19,833 --> 00:03:24,069 supporters to switch allegiance to these pure propaganda outlets 62 00:03:24,104 --> 00:03:27,739 where they'll never have to be bothered by anything that even 63 00:03:27,775 --> 00:03:30,475 resembles a fact ever again. It seems obvious he's planning 64 00:03:30,511 --> 00:03:34,112 to either start his own media platform or more likely partner 65 00:03:34,148 --> 00:03:37,883 with one of these low-rent wingnut factories who love him 66 00:03:37,918 --> 00:03:38,984 already. But in the meantime his children 67 00:03:39,019 --> 00:03:42,387 are trying to cheer him up. Ivanka tweeted, breaking, 68 00:03:42,423 --> 00:03:46,491 president trump and senate republicans win alaska 69 00:03:46,527 --> 00:03:52,164 overwhelmingly and by a massive 20-point spread, put ak in the 70 00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:56,001 books for real donald trump. If you put ak in the books, 71 00:03:56,036 --> 00:03:57,202 donald trump will never find it [ laughter ] 72 00:03:57,238 --> 00:03:59,671 because he doesn't -- but the tweeter toddler did find it. 73 00:03:59,707 --> 00:04:03,775 He found it on twitter. He wrote, it took long enough, 74 00:04:03,811 --> 00:04:04,910 what is taking north carolina so long? 75 00:04:04,945 --> 00:04:11,850 Are they looking for more ballots to fix that one also? 76 00:04:11,885 --> 00:04:12,985 Now with a recount we will win georgia also. 77 00:04:13,020 --> 00:04:16,755 Pennsylvania and michigan wouldn't let our poll wokkers 78 00:04:16,790 --> 00:04:19,258 and into counting rooms, illegal. 79 00:04:19,293 --> 00:04:23,095 To recap, if trump wins the state, it was fair, no problem. 80 00:04:23,130 --> 00:04:24,763 If he doesn't, it was fraud, we need a recount. 81 00:04:24,798 --> 00:04:29,101 The win in alaska earned him three electoral votes. 82 00:04:29,136 --> 00:04:30,235 Not enough to win the presidency. 83 00:04:30,271 --> 00:04:34,106 I think I have an idea that can make everyone happy. 84 00:04:34,141 --> 00:04:38,443 I know my ideas to make everyone happy never seem to make 85 00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:39,911 everyone happy. [ laughter ] 86 00:04:39,947 --> 00:04:42,547 follow me on this one. Why don't we just make him 87 00:04:42,583 --> 00:04:43,682 president of alaska? He'd love it. 88 00:04:43,717 --> 00:04:47,753 [ cheers and applause ] it even sounds like the names of 89 00:04:47,788 --> 00:04:54,026 his wives ask daughters. Melania, ivana, ivanka, alaska. 90 00:04:54,061 --> 00:04:55,894 [ laughter ] he'd for sure be the tannest 91 00:04:55,929 --> 00:04:57,696 person there. He'd like that. 92 00:04:57,731 --> 00:05:03,035 Think of plenty of wide-open spaces to build big ugly 93 00:05:03,070 --> 00:05:04,269 buildings and put their name on them. 94 00:05:04,305 --> 00:05:06,872 Donnie jr. Would have a lot of endangered species to shoot. 95 00:05:06,907 --> 00:05:12,311 And he could marry sarah palin. She's like a melania who likes 96 00:05:12,346 --> 00:05:13,712 you, think about it. [ applause ] 97 00:05:13,747 --> 00:05:17,282 you'd be surrounded by people who agree with you. 98 00:05:17,318 --> 00:05:20,686 You'll be able to see russia from your house. 99 00:05:20,721 --> 00:05:23,055 It's everything you could dream. Let's make him first president 100 00:05:23,090 --> 00:05:25,691 of the last frontier, alaska. It's big, it's white, it's 101 00:05:25,726 --> 00:05:28,760 melting down, and it has lots of crabs, just like donald trump. 102 00:05:28,796 --> 00:05:35,801 [ cheers and applause ] >> guillermo: Let's do it, yeah! 103 00:05:35,836 --> 00:05:38,770 >> jimmy: Thank you, guillermo. Apparently trump's eldest spawn 104 00:05:38,806 --> 00:05:42,274 are at odds right now about how daddy should proceed. 105 00:05:42,309 --> 00:05:47,079 They say jared and ivanka would like him to play it cool. 106 00:05:47,114 --> 00:05:50,349 Whereas djtj and eric want him to blow it up. 107 00:05:50,384 --> 00:05:53,385 Ivanka is said to be concerned a fight to stay in office could 108 00:05:53,420 --> 00:05:55,921 tarnish her father's legacy. I was expecting a bigger laugh 109 00:05:55,956 --> 00:06:00,292 there. [ laughter ] 110 00:06:00,327 --> 00:06:04,463 her father's legacy is going to be a rusted half-finished 111 00:06:04,498 --> 00:06:07,833 section of wall on the border of arizona. 112 00:06:07,868 --> 00:06:11,503 [ laughter ] ivanka's also worried that -- [ 113 00:06:11,538 --> 00:06:12,637 applause ] it could hurt the family 114 00:06:12,673 --> 00:06:15,073 business. The boys realize the main reason 115 00:06:15,109 --> 00:06:19,077 he's raising money to fight this fraud is to line his own 116 00:06:19,113 --> 00:06:20,345 pockets. Come on, ivanka, you get that, 117 00:06:20,381 --> 00:06:23,915 this is trump 101 right here. They say the last time the kids 118 00:06:23,951 --> 00:06:27,085 argued like this was when they fought over who got to shoot 119 00:06:27,121 --> 00:06:29,020 their injured polo pony. [ laughter ] 120 00:06:29,056 --> 00:06:34,326 but I have to say, what a neat little microcosm of america, 121 00:06:34,361 --> 00:06:38,296 that trump's actions are even tearing his own family apart. 122 00:06:38,332 --> 00:06:42,401 That seems just to me. There's also belated discord 123 00:06:42,436 --> 00:06:43,835 among members of trump's own party now. 124 00:06:43,871 --> 00:06:47,105 Republicans have begun to ever so slightly remove their lips 125 00:06:47,141 --> 00:06:49,508 from his rectum. [ laughter ] 126 00:06:49,543 --> 00:06:53,111 several prominent gop senators, including sure caddie lindsey 127 00:06:53,147 --> 00:06:57,048 graham, have finally admitted joe biden should be getting the 128 00:06:57,084 --> 00:06:58,984 classified intelligence briefings that are usually 129 00:06:59,019 --> 00:07:01,787 shared with the president-elect, for reasons of national 130 00:07:01,822 --> 00:07:04,022 security. Team trump has blocked biden's 131 00:07:04,057 --> 00:07:07,292 access to those briefings. And the state department is 132 00:07:07,327 --> 00:07:09,995 refusing to even han the messages biden has been getting 133 00:07:10,030 --> 00:07:14,366 from other world leaders. They're like, uh, sorry, there's 134 00:07:14,401 --> 00:07:17,803 no one here named joe biden, but I mean, he can't come to the 135 00:07:17,838 --> 00:07:20,038 phone right now. The important thing is, even as 136 00:07:20,073 --> 00:07:24,443 his electoral hopes fade, donald trump still has the support of 137 00:07:24,478 --> 00:07:32,417 his family and select hollywood elites like tv hercules kevin 138 00:07:32,453 --> 00:07:39,825 sorbel and tv chachi scott baio who got an exciting retweet from 139 00:07:39,860 --> 00:07:42,060 trump today, thank you, scott, and stay tuned, you are 140 00:07:42,095 --> 00:07:44,362 terrific.

[ laughter ] 146 00:07:58,779 --> 00:08:03,248 for scott baio's sake, I hope he didn't spend the day at 147 00:08:03,283 --> 00:08:05,217 michael's rearranging those himself. 148 00:08:05,252 --> 00:08:06,952 [ laughter ] that's too much. 149 00:08:06,987 --> 00:08:08,987 Also, can we please not politicize michael's? 150 00:08:09,022 --> 00:08:10,121 Crafting is my escape from all of this. 151 00:08:10,157 --> 00:08:13,725 [ laughter ] where does it end? 152 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:21,600 Don't make me go to joann to retaliate with a no may larkky 153 00:08:21,635 --> 00:08:23,001 needlepoint, on okay?

The pope congratulated joe biden 156 00:08:30,477 --> 00:08:33,078 today. So maybe he knows something. 157 00:08:33,113 --> 00:08:35,580 Otherwise, trump's new legal strategy is to try to stop 158 00:08:35,616 --> 00:08:37,849 states from certifying the results of the election. 159 00:08:37,885 --> 00:08:41,653 Which is just -- this would be like if jimmy butler was still 160 00:08:41,688 --> 00:08:47,459 sitting alone in the nba bubble hoping the refs overturned game 161 00:08:47,494 --> 00:08:49,528 six. Team trump set up another voter 162 00:08:49,563 --> 00:08:53,632 fraud hotline number that you can call to report voter fraud. 163 00:08:53,667 --> 00:08:56,501 I mentioned the other night the last one got a lot of prank 164 00:08:56,537 --> 00:08:57,903 calls. But please let's not put them 165 00:08:57,938 --> 00:09:00,405 through that again. [ laughter ] 166 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:07,512 please, do not call this number. [ cheers and applause ] 167 00:09:07,548 --> 00:09:08,747 202-499-4921. And engage in shenanigans. 168 00:09:08,782 --> 00:09:13,652 If you have something dumb to say, do not say it after calling 169 00:09:13,687 --> 00:09:16,488 202-499-4921. It's not right. 170 00:09:16,523 --> 00:09:21,059 It was inappropriate. And operators are standing by. 171 00:09:21,094 --> 00:09:23,395 [ laughter ] we learned today that yet 172 00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:27,599 another member of trump's inner circle has tested positive for 173 00:09:27,634 --> 00:09:30,435 the coronavirus. This time, corey lewandowski. 174 00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:35,173 And I'm told that corey feels almost as awful as he is. 175 00:09:35,208 --> 00:09:38,977 [ laughter ] covid-19 has now overtaken 176 00:09:39,012 --> 00:09:42,847 chlamydia as the disease you're most likely to catch from donald 177 00:09:42,883 --> 00:09:44,983 trump. [ laughter ] 178 00:09:45,018 --> 00:09:47,252 lewandowski was at rudy giuliani's four seasons 179 00:09:47,287 --> 00:09:50,989 landscaping event on Saturday. He was right there with him. 180 00:09:51,024 --> 00:09:53,592 How has rudy not gotten covid?
