"Thank you so much for joining us here. Happen to, uh... You know what? I didn't know Guillermo wasn't gonna be here tonight. Where did he go? He's drunk. He's what? He's at his son's graduation? He's fired. You know, we've been working all day to make a show for you, and here it is. Here it comes...."

[0:02] Thank you so much for joining us here. [0:08] Happen to, uh... [0:14] You know what? I didn't know Guillermo [0:18] wasn't gonna be here tonight. [0:19] Where did he go? [0:20] He's drunk. [0:21] He's what? [0:23] He's at his son's graduation? [0:24] He's fired. [0:25] You know, we've been working all day [0:29] to make a show for you, and here it is. [0:31] Here it comes. I hope you're ready for it, [0:33] because we are now precisely 159 days [0:36] from the midterm elections, [0:37] assuming you know who lets us have midterm elections. [0:40] We have a primary here in California on Tuesday. [0:43] There are a handful of primaries happening [0:45] around the country on Tuesday. [0:46] Some have happened already. [0:47] They will determine who will face who in the midterms. [0:49] According to a new poll, [0:51] 57% of Americans say they definitely will vote in November, [0:55] which I don't... [0:56] Is that good news or bad, 57%? [0:58] I can't imagine being in the 43% who might not or won't vote, [1:02] but historically, 57% is good. [1:05] It's very good. [1:06] The average turnout for the midterms is around 40%. [1:09] Now, that same poll from The Economist YouGov [1:12] is bad news for Donald Trump. [1:15] Trump's approval numbers, like his testicles, [1:18] have sunk to an all-time low. [1:20] They are lower than they've ever been. [1:22] He is now down to 34%. [1:26] He has the same approval rating as Paul Blart Mall Cop. [1:31] The Blart of the deal. [1:32] Not only is Trump at his lowest point, [1:37] he's also two points behind J.D. Vance. [1:40] I don't have a joke for that. [1:42] I just want to make sure he knows [1:44] he's two points behind J.D. Vance. [1:47] Honestly, the only demographic [1:53] Trump is still polling well in right now [1:55] is white guys named Rufus. [1:57] He's killing him now. [1:59] So when asked about the numbers, [2:00] usually they will deflect this kind of thing, [2:02] but a White House spokesperson said, [2:04] the ultimate poll was November 5, 2024, [2:07] when nearly 80 million Americans [2:09] overwhelmingly elected President Trump [2:11] to deliver on his popular and common sense agenda. [2:15] Okay, yeah, but now it's May of 2026, [2:18] and everybody hates him. [2:19] So, you know, here's the thing. [2:21] People are so ungrateful. [2:22] This is a man, Donald Trump, [2:24] who's done more for everyone than anyone. [2:27] Nobody has done more for the black community [2:31] than Donald Trump. [2:32] We did more for the Hispanic community [2:34] than any administration. [2:36] Nobody ever did more for Americans [2:39] who love Cuba. [2:41] I did more for Michigan autoworkers [2:43] and manufacturers than any president [2:46] in the history of our country. [2:47] We've done more for the state of Iowa [2:50] than any president ever in history. [2:52] I've done more for Alaska than any president. [2:55] More for North Carolina [2:56] than North Carolina can even imagine. [2:58] We achieved more for the people of Pennsylvania [3:01] than any administration. [3:04] We achieved more for the great state of Wisconsin [3:07] than any other president. [3:08] Nobody's done more for the military than I have. [3:10] I've done more than any other American president [3:13] for NATO by far. [3:14] You know, I've done more for religion [3:16] than any other president. [3:19] Nobody in history did more for the farmers [3:21] of our country than I did. [3:23] Nobody's done more for the Jewish people than I have. [3:25] We've done more for young parents [3:27] than any administration. [3:28] We've done more for the senior [3:29] than any other person. [3:31] Nobody's done more for Puerto Rico than me. [3:34] You know, you're right. [3:35] You've done enough. [3:36] Let's get somebody else to take over for. [3:38] We're doing too much. [3:39] This is not going to help Trump's popularity. [3:42] In case you thought he was done weaponizing [3:45] the Justice Department, [3:46] the DOJ is now going after another of Trump's victims, [3:49] E. Jean Carroll, [3:50] the writer who accused the president [3:52] of sexually assaulting her [3:53] in a department store dressing room [3:55] and beat him in court twice. [3:56] Carroll was awarded two judgments, [3:58] totaling more than $88 million, [4:00] which he still has not paid. [4:01] And Trump is now seeking his independent [4:03] attorney general honor. [4:04] They're threatening an 82-year-old woman [4:06] that they launched a criminal investigation [4:08] against her on behalf of the guy [4:10] who claims the system is rigged against him. [4:12] E. Jean Carroll must be brought to justice. [4:14] But the nut who stormed the Capitol [4:16] dressed with the buffalo horns, [4:18] he's getting a taxpayer-funded jet ski [4:20] out of that deal. [4:21] It's comforting to know that our hard-earned [4:23] tax dollars are going to fund the people [4:25] who are going to pay for the money [4:27] to pay for the money to pay for the money [4:29] to pay for the money to pay for the money [4:31] to pay for the money to pay for the money [4:33] to fund the president's nonstop [4:35] multi-victim retribution tour [4:37] and that those tax dollars may soon [4:40] have his face on them. [4:42] In honor of our country's 250th anniversary, [4:44] coming in July, the Treasury Department [4:47] is looking to print a special Trump $250 bill. [4:51] It would look like this. [4:53] Here he is, the least popular bill since Cosby. [4:56] What better way to pay for a single tank of gas [5:01] than with a bill featuring the head [5:03] of the man who made it cost that much? [5:04] Now, current federal law says that you cannot do this. [5:09] It says only deceased people can appear on U.S. currency, [5:13] but fear not, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, [5:17] there's legislation in the works looking to change that [5:20] so that a living person, Donald J. Trump, [5:23] could be on the $250 bill. [5:26] Every day it's a new project with him as the focus. [5:29] He wakes up in the morning, he goes downstairs, [5:30] he's like, okay, hear me out. [5:32] What if we use a laser to burn a picture of me on the moon, huh? [5:36] They're also lining up entertainment [5:38] for what they're calling the Great American State Fair. [5:41] This is a big concert in Washington on July 4th [5:44] to celebrate our 250 years, and what a lineup they have. [5:48] This is like Coachella for bands that hired their cousin [5:53] as their tour manager. [5:54] This is... [5:55] The listed performers include pop duo Milli Vanilli, [5:58] one of whom is dead. [5:59] Pop duo C&C Music Factory, another of whom is dead. [6:03] Morris Day and The Time, minus lead singer Morris Day, [6:07] and minus The Time. [6:08] They refused to be part of the event. [6:10] Young MC, minus Young MC, who also refused to be part of the event. [6:14] And The Commodores, minus the original singers from The Commodores, [6:18] and minus the new singers from The Commodores, [6:20] who backed out today, too. [6:22] But don't worry. [6:23] Bret Michaels, Flo Rida, Vanilla Ice, [6:26] and the guy from the Cracker Barrel logo [6:28] tootin' on the jug so far. [6:32] We'll check back on that tomorrow to see if they're still in. [6:34] What a mess. [6:35] Milli Vanilli, or whatever's left of Milli Vanilli, [6:38] put out a statement saying they were never asked to perform [6:41] and would not be taking part in the concert. [6:43] The statement said others using the name Milli Vanilli [6:46] that appear on the advertisement should be considered a tribute band [6:49] with no association vocally, musically, to our sounds and songs. [6:54] How can someone pretend to be Milli Vanilli [6:57] when Milli Vanilli was pretending to be Milli Vanilli? [7:01] As for C&C Music Factory, I don't know what's going on with that, [7:09] but their lead singer, Freedom Williams, is mad about the fact [7:13] that people are mad at him about this. [7:17] You keep pushing me, I'll do the mother f***ing show in North Korea, [7:21] pissing on the f***ing American flag, smoking a Cuban cigar, [7:25] drinking Venezuela wine, playing golf with mother f***ing Kim L. June, [7:30] with an Iranian b***h on my lap, while Trump's standing there [7:35] with his d*** in his hand. [7:37] That's how much of a f***ing I give what you d***s think. [7:40] I'm sitting on the toilet taking this s***. [7:42] Is that dope enough? Indeed. [7:47] I feel like hearing from him only once every 35 years isn't enough. [7:52] What a concert this is going to be. [7:54] Everything they do, they screw up. They cannot do anything. [7:57] Another part of the semi-quincentennial celebration [8:00] will be a mass pardoning ceremony. [8:03] Trump's planning to pardon 250 current [8:06] and or future criminals on July 4th, [8:09] which is something, like, the Joker would do. [8:12] And they won't be doing it quietly. [8:14] This will be quite an event. [8:16] On July 4th, join President Donald J. Trump [8:19] and his wrongly accusiest friends [8:22] for an all-star pardentennial celebration. [8:25] Featuring appearances by Dr. Bill Cosby, [8:29] Harvey Weinstein, Sean P. Diddy Combs, [8:32] the Gilgo Beach serial killer, [8:35] the artist formerly known as Prince Andrew, [8:38] the ghost of O.J. Simpson, [8:40] and the late, great Hannibal Lecter. [8:43] Hannibal Lecter. How great an actor was he? [8:46] Bring your family to join the first family [8:50] at the pardentennial celebration, [8:53] July 4th at 8 p.m., only on Newsmax, [8:57] right after Bigfoot versus the Lincoln Memorial. [9:00] Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen. [9:03] I couldn't have said it better myself. [9:05] So anyway, we got some possibly, maybe positive news [9:11] on what Trump is now calling his mini-war in the Middle East. [9:14] Today, the U.S.-Iran reportedly reached another tentative deal [9:18] to potentially, ostensibly, finally perhaps end this war, [9:22] he says we won three months ago. [9:24] The proposed deal would open the Strait of Hormuz [9:27] and begin a 60-day negotiation period [9:29] to talk about their nuclear program. [9:31] An agreement would end the war in Iran, [9:34] and maybe give Trump the legroom to start another one. [9:38] Would you accept a short-term deal [9:40] that allows Iran and Oman to control the Strait? [9:42] Nobody's gonna control it. [9:43] That's part of the negotiation that we have. [9:46] They would like to control it. [9:47] Nobody's gonna control it. [9:48] It's international waters, [9:50] and Oman will behave just like everybody else, [9:53] and we'll have to blow them up. [9:55] The peace president, ladies and gentlemen. [9:57] The winner of the FIFA Peace Prize is gonna blow them up, [10:03] like they're the toilet in the Lincoln bathroom. [10:06] Would this be the ninth war he ended [10:08] or the tenth one he started? [10:10] Trump has no idea where or even what Oman is. [10:14] I'm pretty sure he thinks he fired Oman on The Apprentice. [10:18] According to an analysis by CNN, [10:20] Trump has now threatened one out of every 13 countries [10:23] in the world. [10:24] The only person who's ever threatened more is Godzilla, okay? [10:28] He better get this one with Iran figured out. [10:30] His little skirmish over there has been a disaster [10:32] for the economy. [10:33] Gas prices have skyrocketed. [10:35] They've been up 50% since the start of the war. [10:37] And according to the always insightful Carl Higbee of Newsmax, [10:41] we're blaming the wrong person for it. [10:44] The national gas average is about $446 a gallon, [10:48] but only because of places like California, [10:51] Democrat-controlled clocking in at about $609 a gallon. [10:54] But you head to a red state like Indiana, [10:56] and the average is about $386. [10:59] Democrats, man, just making stuff cost more. [11:02] I'm guessing Carl didn't ace the math portion [11:06] of his SAT test. [11:08] And with everything going on overseas right now, [11:10] the State Department today, [11:12] there's a war happening right now. [11:13] The State Department posted a very upbeat birthday message [11:16] for Secretary of State Marco Rubio. [11:19] Great. Now we're all horny. [11:45] Why is this happening? [11:47] Who is doing this? [11:48] Who is posting? [11:49] Does Marco want this? [11:50] I can't imagine they just... [11:51] Thomas Jefferson was Secretary of State. [11:54] John Quincy Adams had that job. [11:56] And now there's a video you'd make for a bar mitzvah they're showing. [12:00] Maybe he'll perform with C&C Music Factory at the big show. [12:05] Who knows? [12:06] Speaking of ridiculous videos, our Secretary of Health [12:10] and the Humane Society, RFK Jr., [12:13] I guess he liked the feedback he got [12:15] from picking up a pair of snakes at Dr. Oz's house this week. [12:18] So yesterday, miraculously, he found another snake. [12:23] A snake in the driveway. [12:25] Hold on, guys. [12:26] I'll be back in a flash. [12:28] You got Cheryl to bring your pillows. [12:51] There you go. [12:52] Oh, Cheryl's long gone, buddy. [12:55] Cheryl took the pillow. [12:58] She's on the way to her mother's house screaming into it. [13:00] What is with him and the snakes? [13:02] Is this... is that where he gets the oil he pushes? [13:05] Why is every person in this government [13:08] the craziest neighbor you ever had on the block? [13:11] I don't know where he got that snake, [13:13] but I do know Dr. Oz's house is in Florida [13:19] where 80% of our nation's supply of crazy is harvested. [13:23] And with that said, [13:24] it is time for another edition of This Week in Florida. [13:27] This is why you're being pulled over. [13:31] In the city of Lagos today, [13:32] we're doing an operation for distracted driving. [13:34] You drove past me holding the phone [13:35] with your right hand manipulating that phone. [13:37] I mean... [13:38] That's obviously not. [13:40] So you want to just call this a day or...? [13:44] I don't want to call a day. [13:45] You had a hand on manipulating the phone. [13:46] You just said my right hand. [13:47] Well, I thought I saw you right hand. [13:48] You had a hand out. [13:49] So you didn't. [13:50] The right hand. I saw you manipulating... [13:51] Well, you didn't. [13:52] With the right hand, perhaps not, right? [13:54] You didn't see me with my right hand. [13:55] Okay, so you saw... [13:56] Are you saying... [13:57] You're saying that you saw me with the right hand. [13:58] I know what I just said. [13:59] I know what I just said. [14:00] I'm asking you now. [14:01] Did you not have fun on your hand? [14:02] I did not. [14:03] You did not have fun on your hand? [14:04] I did not. [14:05] Hand to God. [14:06] You did not have fun on your hand. [14:07] Hand to God. [14:10] That is why God gave us body cams. [14:12] Hey, we have a fun show tonight. [14:13] Lamorne Morris is here. [14:14] We have music from She and Him. [14:16] And we'll be right back with Dan Levy.
