Seth Meyers on Trump: “Sleepy talking about bitter grievances in half-empty arenas” | Late Night TV Roundup

Late night hosts discussed Kamala Harris' graduation speech, Donald Trump's rambling interview with Joe Rogan and Elon Musk donating his sperm.

Seth Meyers

As the election draws to a close, Donald Trump should make his case to voters. Instead, as Seth Meyers pointed out on Wednesday's Late Night, he talks nonsense on podcasts.

“Even Joe Rogan, who gave Trump a chance to make his case, seemed skeptical,” Meyers said of the podcast host who allowed Trump to continue disavowing the results of the 2020 election.

But even Rogan lost patience with the lack of evidence for Trump. “Are you ever going to present this?” he finally asked.

“I love the way Rogan starts, 'I won't interrupt you.' And then after 10 seconds he's like, 'I've got to cut this son of a bitch off,'” Meyers laughed.

“'Are you ever going to present this?' “That's a great question, especially when Trump has lost about 60 court cases challenging the legitimacy of the election,” Meyers added. “No one who has evidence to support their case chooses not to present it. There is no legal strategy called Rope-a-Dope where you lose the first 60 and then when they relax, pow!”

But Meyer's favorite part of the interview was when Trump told Rogan, “Well, what I'd rather do is – we'll do it another time, and I would bring in papers that you wouldn't believe. So many different papers.”

“Sixty cases and you never brought the papers with you?!” Meyers thought about it.

Later in the monologue, Meyers tried to dispel viewers' election pessimism: “I have no idea what's going to happen next week,” he said. “The polls are a coin toss, but one thing I know: Trump is not inevitable. Don't let yourself feel like that.

“He once went completely backwards into the presidency despite losing the popular vote by 3 million, and he and his MAGA minions have failed in election after election since,” he continued. “He’s not an unstoppable juggernaut. He sleepily talks bitter grievances in half-empty halls while Kamala Harris gathers a record-breaking crowd to lay out her political agenda.”

Meyers then played clips from Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden with speakers celebrating mass deportations of undocumented immigrants and denigrating Harris as “the devil.”

Trump didn't disavow any of them, Meyers said, because “they weren't jokes. They were beliefs, and Donald Trump didn't say a word about them because that's what he believes too, and that's deeply disgusting.”

Jimmy Kimmel

On Election Day, “you have to vote,” Jimmy Kimmel said. “If you can vote early, vote early. If you can't vote early, vote on time. If you want to vote for Trump, vote late. Vote very late, so vote on Thursday or maybe Friday.”

Kimmel cited a poll that found only 30% of U.S. voters believe Trump will concede if he loses the election. “What would give her that idea? “Of course Trump won’t back down if he loses this election,” Kimmel said. “He still hasn’t conceded the last election. And he’s already claiming that Pennsylvania is cheating.”

Trump made the baseless claim to Truth Social and called on law enforcement to “act now.”

“Of course that’s wrong,” Kimmel reminded. “This is another lie, and there will be more to come in the next few days.”

Harris, meanwhile, gave her closing argument in a speech that drew 20,000 more people than Trump at the same venue on January 6. “And the craziest thing is, when she finished talking, they all went home,” Kimmel said.

Stephen Colbert

And on The Late Show, Stephen Colbert recapitulated Kamala Harris' final speech, which was “specifically designed to color Trump's shadow.”

Harris spoke to 75,000 people at the same spot where Trump held his infamous rally on January 6, compared to 53,000 who attended Trump's “Save America” ​​rally.

Harris said Trump “spent a decade dividing the American people and making them fear each other.” He is, but America, I'm here tonight to say that's not who we are.

“That's correct! There are a few of us!” exclaimed Colbert. “We are the nation that brought together chicken and waffles, Mike and Ike, Baja and Blast – all of which combine to make truly terrible airport food.”

In other news, Trump's “private favorite billionaire” Elon Musk is said to be offering his sperm to people because he is worried about falling birth rates. “I can't stress this enough: There's no trick-or-treating at Elon's house,” Colbert joked. “Elon, I’m not sure women would agree that the reason birth rates are declining is because there just aren’t enough sperm!”

Apparently Musk is so concerned about this that he has offered his sperm to friends and acquaintances. “So a warning to Elon's friends and acquaintances: This is not a sourdough starter,” Colbert joked.
