Rudy Giuliani Butt-Dials Reporter; Trump Booed at World Series: A Closer Look - YouTube
Channel: Late Night with Seth Meyers
[2]
-The president got booed
at the World Series
[3]
a few days after we found out
[5]
that his lawyer had butt-dialed
a reporter.
[7]
For more on this,
it's time for "A Closer Look."
[9]
[ Cheers and applause ]
[10]
鈾櫔
[14]
Obviously those things
are not related.
[16]
It is a sign of how crazy
everything is right now.
[19]
On Friday we found out
[20]
that President Trump's
personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani
[22]
had accidentally butt-dialed
a reporter twice
[25]
leaving voicemails about Ukraine
and Rudy's need for cash,
[28]
which means we are officially
at the point where these guys
[31]
are confessing out of their
mouths and out of their asses.
[34]
[ Laughter ]
[35]
The next time they talk about
leaks,
[38]
remember, they mean Rudy's ass.
[41]
And then less than two days
later,
[43]
everyone had to shift from
Butt-dialgate to the news
[45]
that the leader of ISIS
had been killed
[47]
after the president cryptically
tweeted,
[49]
"Something very big
has just happened."
[52]
He tweets about a huge
intelligence
[54]
and military victory
for the United States
[56]
like a stepdad who just scored
backstage passes
[58]
to Hootie & the Blowfish.
[61]
[ Gruff voice ] Kevin, I know
you're not my biological son,
[63]
but you are about to wish you
were because something very big
[65]
has just happened.
[67]
And yet another sign of just how
much of a roller coaster
[70]
Trump's presidency has been,
in that two-day span,
[73]
he went from the low
[75]
of his personal lawyer
butt-dialing a reporter
[76]
to the high of killing the
world's most wanted terrorist,
[79]
and then that same day,
[80]
back to the low of getting booed
at the World Series.
[83]
-President Trump greeted by boos
by many
[85]
at game five of the World Series
[87]
between the Astros
and the Nationals.
[89]
-The President and First Lady
of the United States.
[92]
[ Crowd booing ]
[100]
-Now, you may think that I have
two beers right now
[103]
to celebrate Donald Trump
getting booed,
[105]
but I'm actually holding two
beers to celebrate this guy
[108]
who took a ball in the chest
last night
[109]
rather than drop his.
[112]
That guy had a better night
[114]
than the president
of the United States.
[116]
That guy right there.
[121]
That guy took a ball
to his chest
[122]
rather than drop his beers
and jumped ahead of Joe Biden
[125]
in the primary.
[127]
[ Laughter ]
[128]
But really, the best part was
just watching the joy
[131]
drain out of Trump's face as he
realized he was getting booed.
[134]
I mean, look at that.
[136]
He's like kid on Christmas who
sees a giant present
[138]
and then opens it and it's just
a box full of packing peanuts
[141]
and a Yankee candle.
[142]
What scent is this?
Damn it!
[147]
Now, again, this raid
was a major military
[149]
and intelligence victory
for the United States,
[151]
and yet, even in announcing
such a huge achievement,
[153]
Trump couldn't help but do
what he always does --
[155]
make it super weird.
[157]
-Today President Trump announced
that ISIS leader
[159]
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed
in a raid by U.S. special forces
[163]
in Northwest Syria overnight.
[165]
-I got to watch it
in the situation room.
[169]
And we watched it, uh...
[172]
so clearly.
[173]
We had absolutely perfect --
[174]
As though you were watching
a movie.
[177]
It was -- The technology there
alone is really great.
[182]
[ Laughter ]
[183]
-Honestly I would not be
surprised if to keep him busy
[186]
while they
carried out the mission,
[187]
they made him watch
an actual movie.
[189]
[ Laughter ]
[191]
[ As Trump ] It was ama--
Tom Cruise was there.
[193]
He put on his flight suit,
jumped out of the plane.
[195]
And, you know,
just let me assure you,
[197]
the whole mission strictly
followed
[198]
what they in the military call
"ghost protocol."
[201]
[ Laughter ]
[202]
-There were times when Trump
seemed much less specific
[205]
about basic facts
of what had happened
[207]
and how it was carried out.
[209]
-Which special operations teams
were involved?
[211]
-Uh, many of them. And at the
top level.
[215]
-That's the face of a man
[219]
who does not know the names
of the teams.
[223]
That is the face of a man who is
still 50/50
[225]
on whether Navy SEALs
are actual seals.
[228]
[ Laughter ]
He's not sure, but he knows --
[233]
He knows the window has closed
[236]
and it is too late for him
to ask.
[238]
[ As Trump ] So, General, to
congratulate the Navy SEALs.
[241]
what do you think, like,
a bottle of Scotch,
[243]
or maybe like a bucket of fish?
Whatever.
[247]
The scotch? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[250]
[ Laughter ]
[252]
-Now there might be some people
out there
[254]
thinking to themselves maybe
Trump deserves less credit
[257]
for this than the actual
military
[258]
and the intelligence officials
who carried out the mission.
[260]
And by some people,
I'm referring to specifically
[262]
to 2012 Donald Trump who tweeted
[265]
"Obama deserves much less credit
for the killing of Bin Laden.
[267]
The praise goes to
our brave military
[269]
and intelligence officers
[270]
and stop congratulating Obama
for killing Bin Laden.
[273]
The Navy SEALs
killed Bin Laden.
[275]
What amazing to me is not only
the fact
[277]
that there's an old Trump tweet
for everything,
[279]
but also how many there are.
[280]
All of his tweets should have
come with
[282]
an automatic disclaimer at the
bottom that said,
[284]
"Unless I'm president, ha-ha,
[285]
in which case, I believe
the exact opposite."
[288]
[ Cheers and applause ]
[291]
In fact, in a 2011 TV interview,
[297]
Trump even went out of his way
to insist repeatedly
[299]
that Obama should not get credit
for killing Bin Laden
[301]
because it was an easy decision.
[303]
-He killed Bin Laden.
[305]
-He didn't kill Bin Laden.
[306]
You know, he gets
so much credit for that.
[307]
Okay. Excuse me. Excuse me.
-He authorized it.
[309]
He had the guts
to make that decision.
[311]
-The military and the genius --
Excuse me. Guts?
[314]
I don't know why Obama
gets credit
[316]
for the whole Bin Laden thing.
[318]
He's sitting there.
He's got three choices --
[321]
Leave him alone,
which nobody would do.
[323]
Take him out with a missile,
[324]
or take him out
with the military.
[326]
So he said take him out
with the military.
[328]
Okay. Congratulations.
[331]
I keep hearing about,
"Oh, Bin Laden."
[333]
The military did
an incredible job
[335]
and they called him
and they said, "We have him."
[337]
And he said, "Go get him."
[339]
What's he gonna say,
"Don't get him"?
[341]
And he gets all this credit.
It's a lot of crap.
[343]
-You know, if cable news
[346]
wanted a dissenting voice
to come on and criticize
[348]
2019 Donald Trump,
[350]
all they would have to do
is hire 2011 Donald Trump.
[352]
I mean, it would be
a lot of fun to watch.
[354]
-It is a tribute to the courage
of our armed forces
[358]
and to the decisiveness
of our commander in chief,
[361]
the president
of the United States.
[363]
-The military did
an incredible job.
[365]
and they called him
and they said, "We have him."
[368]
And he said, "Go get him."
[369]
What's he gonna say,
"Don't get him"?
[371]
And he gets all this credit.
It's a lot of crap.
[374]
[ Laughter ]
[375]
[ Cheers and applause ]
[382]
-Trump then went on to tell
a completely fabricated story
[384]
about how he was the first
person to warn of the threat
[387]
posed by Bin Laden
before anyone else even knew
[389]
who Bin Laden was, a claim
that has no basis in reality.
[392]
-You know, if you read my book,
there was a book just before
[394]
the World Trade Center
came down.
[397]
And I don't get any credit
for this, but that's okay.
[399]
I never do.
[400]
I said, "There is somebody
named Osama Bin Laden.
[405]
You'd better kill him
or take him out."
[407]
Something to that effect.
"He's big trouble."
[409]
-He doesn't even have the energy
to lie convincingly.
[412]
You know someone is lying
[414]
when even they say something
to that effect.
[417]
It's like if your wife
confronted you about
[419]
where you've been all night,
and you said,
[420]
"Honey, I was at the office,
or something to that effect."
[423]
[ Laughter ]
[426]
Trump also --
[ Cheers and applause ]
[430]
Trump also kept up his ongoing
war with Democrats in Congress
[433]
when he told reporters he had
chosen not to notify
[435]
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
about the raid
[437]
because he didn't want
the operation to leak.
[439]
-And have you notified the
congressional leaders about
this, Pelosi?
[443]
-We've notified some.
[446]
Others are being notified now
as I speak.
[449]
We were going to notify them
last night,
[451]
but we decided not to do that
because Washington leaks
[454]
like I've never seen before.
[456]
-Did you inform Speaker Pelosi
ahead of time?
[459]
-No, I didn't. I didn't do it.
I didn't do that.
[461]
I wanted to make sure
this was kept secret.
[463]
-I'm sorry, but it seems weird
to criticize Pelosi for leaks
[466]
considering every time your
lawyer farts, he FaceTimes CNN.
[469]
[ Laughter ]
[471]
[ As Giuliani ]
Anderson! What do you want?!
[472]
[ Normal voice ]
You called us.
[473]
[ As Giuliani ] Oh, Rudy!
This is why you can't eat chili!
[476]
[ Laughter ]
[477]
Now the timing
of Rudy's butt-dial
[479]
is not ideal for Trump.
[480]
Because today Democrats
announced they will hold a vote
[483]
on an impeachment resolution
on Thursday.
[485]
So as the impeachment inquiry
ramps up,
[486]
this is who Democrats
are dealing with.
[488]
-Rudolph Giuliani, there is
no elegant way to put this,
[492]
but he butt-dialed
an NBC News reporter last week
[495]
inadvertently leaving
a voicemail message
[498]
that no one
was supposed to hear.
[500]
-Do you know how hard you have
to sit down on a cellphone
[503]
to unlock it
and then call someone?
[505]
I mean,
what was Rudy doing anyway?
[507]
[ Laughter ]
[512]
"What are you doing, Rudy?"
[513]
"Oh, I'm just returning
some calls."
[518]
And Rudy butt-dialed the
reporter not once, but twice.
[520]
And on one of those voicemails,
[522]
he can be heard discussing
a mysterious plan
[523]
involving Bahrain and a need
[525]
for hundreds of thousands
of dollars in cash.
[527]
-Tomorrow I got to get you
to get on Bahrain.
[531]
You gotta call.
[532]
-Yeah. Hold on.
[533]
-Got to call Robert again
tomorrow.
[535]
Is Robert around?
[536]
-Rob? He's in Turkey.
[538]
-The problem is we need some
money.
[540]
We need a few hundred thousand.
[542]
-It used to be that if you
were in law enforcement
[544]
and you wanted to catch someone
talking about a mysterious plan
[546]
involving Bahrain and hundreds
of thousands of dollars,
[549]
you need an undercover cop
and a surveillance van.
[551]
Now all you need to do
is sit around
[552]
and wait for Rudy Giuliani's
phone
[554]
to slide down between his chair
and his butt crack.
[556]
[ Laughter ]
[557]
"He's talking about the cash,
and now he's making a hand-off,
[559]
and, uh, what's -- I'm sorry.
There's a sound.
[561]
It's, um --
I think it's someone
[562]
letting the air
out of a balloon?
[564]
[ Laughter ]
[565]
-As Democrats intensify
their impeachment inquiry
[568]
and prepare for a Thursday vote,
[569]
this is who they're up against.
[570]
So if you're a member
of Congress who gets a call
[572]
from Rudy Giuliani,
just remember,
[573]
you might hear
a lot of evidence,
[574]
but you also might hear...
-A lot of crap.
[576]
-This has been "A Closer Look.".
[578]
[ Cheers and applause ]
[579]
