NOW SOME HUGE NEWS, HUGE NEWS TODAY, DOES EVERYONE REMEMBER
STEVE BANNON?
DO YOU REMEMBER HIM?
HE WAS EARLY IN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
HE LOOKED LIKE-- HE LOOKED LIKE THE KIND OF GUY WHO FOUND A SCAB
AND WOULD SAVE IT FOR LATER, DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
>> Reggie: OH, GOD.
>> James: WELL, HE IS IN THE NEWS TODAY, STEVE BANNON IS
FACING CHARGES OF DEFRAUDING DONORS IN A FUNDRAISING SCHEME,
AND THIS MORNING HE GOT ARRESTED.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) YES.
YES.
GOT ARRESTED.
HE SAID HE COULD SPEND UP TO 20 YEARS IN PRISON.
APPARENTLY WHAT IT WAS, HE POCKETED MONEY FROM AN
ORGANIZATION THAT HE STARTED TO PRIVATELY FUND THE BUILDING OF
THE BORDER WALL.
AND IT WAS WAS CALLED WE BUILD THE WALL.
THAT WAS THE SHORT NAME, THE FULL NAME WAS WE BUILD THE WALL,
I BUILD A SWIMMING POOL IN MY BACKYARD.
HE HAS TRICKED A LOAD OF PEOPLE INTO THINKING HE WAS GOING TO
BUILD A WALL.
THERE IS ONLY TWO WAYS THAT ENDS.
YOU EITHER GO TO PRISON OR YOU BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE I STAND ON THIS STORY.
I DON'T, ON THE ONE HAND I'M ANGRY THAT HE DEFRAUDED THESE
PEOPLE.
ON THE OTHER HAND, HE DEFRAUDED PEOPLE WHO WERE DONATING TO
BUILD TRUMP'S BORDER WALL AND THEREFORE DEPRIVE IMMIGRANTS OF
JST SEEKING OUT A BETTER LIFE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.
IT'S A WEIRD SENSATION, I'M HAPPY ABOUT BOTH.
THE MONEY WAS USED TO FUND A LAVISH LIFESTYLE WHICH IF YOU
ARE STEVE BANNON MEANS MORPHING INTO A WAY TOO TANNED RUSSELL
CROWE.
OF COURSE LAST NIGHT WAS NIGHT THREE OF THE DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION, KAMALA HARRIS ACCEPTED THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL
NOMINATION.
SHE GAVE, DID YOU SEE IT, I THOUGHT SHE GAVE THE MOST
BRILLIANT SPEECH.
I THUT IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT.
DID YOU CATCH IT IF.
>> YEAH, SAW IT LIVE.
>> James: SAW IT LIVE.
>> SAW IT LIVE.
>> James: SHE MADE HISTORY AS THE FIRST BLACK AND SOUTH ASIAN
WOMAN ON A MAJOR PARTY TICKET.
IT DID FEEL LIKE A REAL MOMENT WATCHING HER TALK LAST NIGHT IT
WAS BRILLIANT.
THE SPEECH WAS FAN TASK TUCK.
BUT WHAT WAS WEIRD DURING THE SPEECH, THEY KEPT SHOWING SHOTS
OF THAT WEIRD EMPTY ROOM THAT SHE WAS IN.
I THINK IT WOULD HAVE HELPED IF SHE HAD HAD ONE OF HER WRITERS
OFF THE STAGE SO THEY HAVE THE BACK AND FORTH DO YOU KNOW WHAT
I MEAN?
>> Reggie: YEAH.
>> James: THAT'S THE SORT OF LEVEL, THAT'S-- MOVING ON.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA GAVE ONE OF HIS TRADEMARK SPEECHES AT THE
CONVENTION LAST NIGHT.
IT FELT SO STRANGE TO LISTEN TO A PRESIDENT WHO DOESN'T
MISPRONOUNCE EVERY OTHER WORD.
IT WAS A NEW FEELING.
AND SECONDLY HE DID NOT HOLD BACK ATTACKING PRESIDENT TRUMP,
HAVE A LISTEN.
>> FOR CLOSE TO FOUR YEARS NOW HE HAS SHOWN NO INTEREST IN
PUTTING IN THE WORK.
NO INTEREST IN FINDING COMMON GROUND.
NO INTEREST IN USING THIS AWESOME POWER OF HIS OFFICE TO
HELP ANYONE BUT HIMSELF AND HIS FRIENDS.
NO INTEREST IN TREATING THE PRESIDENCY AS ANYTHING BUT ONE
MORE REALITY SHOW THAT HE CAN USE TO GET THE ATTENTION HE
CRAVES.
>> James: WATCHING OBAMA SPEAK IN 2020 IS LIKE RUNNING INTO
YOUR EX AND SEEING THAT THEY ARE DOING SO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT
YOU.
THEY'RE BETTER LOOKING.
THEY'RE MORE SUCCESSFUL.
YOU'RE LIKE YEP, IT'S OVER, I'M GOING TO DIE ALONE.
PESIDENT TRUMP WAS VERY UPSET BY OBAMA'S REMARKS.
AND TO PRF HIM WRONG HE GAVE A SPEECH THIS AFTERNOON SHOWING
THAT HE COULD TACKLE THIS COUNTRY'S BIGGEST PROBLEMS HEAD
ON.
UNFORTUNATELY, HE WAS ALSO DISTRACTED BY A MOSQUITO AND IT
JUST WENT FROM THERE.
>> I USED TO SAY KEEP THE OIL, DON'T GO IN, I WOULD SAY DON'T
GO INTO IRAQ.
BUT NOBODY CARED.
LIKE YOU NO NOBODY-- I WANT TO GET THAT MOSS KITO-- MOSQUITO.
THEY WILL SAY IT IS KREELTY TO ANIMALS, NO, THEY HAVE-- THEY
WERE SAYING THE OTHER NIGHT, THE SHARK, SHE WERE SAYING THOSE
SHARKS WE HAVE TO PROTECT IT.
WAIT A MINUTE, THEY ACTUALLY WANT TO REMOVE ALL THE SEALS IN
ORDER TO SAVE THE SHARK.
I SAY WAIT A MINUTE, DON'T YOU HAVE IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
THAT'S TRUE.
I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF SHARKS EITHER.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY VOTES AM I GOING TO LOSE.
HAVE I PEOPLE CALLING ME UP, CAN WE HAVE A FUND SAVE THE SHARK.
IT IS CALLED SAVE THE SHARK.
I SAY NO THANK YOU, I HAVE OTHER THINGS I CAN CONTRIBUTE TO.
>> James: IF YOU SAID THAT AT A BAR, THE BARTENDER WOULD BE
LIKE SIR, I THINK IT IS TIME YOU WENT HOME, 100 PERCENT.
WHO DOES HE MEAN BY "THEY," HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE CALLING THE
PRESIDENT EVERY DAY TO ASK ABOUT SHARKS.
YOU'VE GOT ONE PRESIDENT WORRYING ABOUT THE IMMINENT
THREAT OF DEMOCRACY AS WE KNOW IT AND THE OTHER UP WITH IS
LIKE, SHARKS ARE SCARY.
(LAUGHTER) BUT TONIGHT IS OF COURSE A BIG
NIGHT FOR JOE BIDEN, BIDEN OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED THE
DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT.
THIS IS THE THIRD TIME BIDEN HAS RUN FOR PRESIDENT.
AND YOU KNOW THE OLD SAYING, THIRD TIME'S A-- YEAH, FINE, I
WILL VOTE FOR YOU, I GET IT, SURE.
YEP, I WILL DO IT.
THIS TIME I WILL DO IT.
IT WAS A REALLY EXCITING MOMENT FOR AMERICA, DO YOU REALIZE WHAT
THIS MEANS?
THIS MEANS NO MORE NIGHTS OF THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION,
THAT WAS IT.
ALTHOUGH IT TURNS OUT MOST PEOPLE HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN
WATCHING THE CONVENTION BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE NBA PLAYOFFS HAVE
BEEN CRUSHING THE CONVENTION IN THE RACING WHICH EXPLAINS WHY
TONIGHT JOE BIDEN GAVE HIS ACCEPTANCE SPEECH DRESSED LIKE
THIS.
I MUST SAY, HE LOOKS BETTER, HE LOOKS BETTER IN-- THAN YOU DO IN
ALL YOUR BLAZERS HERE YOU HAVE BEEN WEARING AROUND THE PLACE
THIS WEEK.
>> I MEAN JOE BIDEN IS LIKE ONE OF THE FIVE HOTTEST GUYS ON
EARTH.
THAT'S NOT EVEN FAIR.
>> James: HOW MUCH, WHAT PERCENTAGE OF YOUR CLOTHING IS
PORTLAND BLAZERS RELATED.
>> I LOVE TO GIVE YOU A FUNNY ANSWER BUT THE REAL ANSWER IS
PROBABLY LIKE 40%.
>> James: FOR REAL.
>> IT PROBABLY IS AROUND LIKE 40%, YEAH.
>> James: AN WHEN DO THEY NEXT PLAY.
>> THEY PLAY TONIGHT.
SO BY THE TIME THIS IS AIRING, FRAY MORNING AS WE KNOW.
>> James: YES.
>> THEY HAVE ALREADY GONE UP 2-0 AGAINST THE LAKERS.
>> James: SO THIS MUST BE HARD FOR YOU IF THE BLAZERS ARE
PLAYING THE LAKERS.
>> WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS HARD FOR ME IT IS THE EASIEST THING
IN THE WORLD.
>> James: BUT YOU'RE-- CUZ I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU WERE A LAKERS
FAN.
CUZ IF YOU WEREN'T, WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?
(LAUGHTER) (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE).
>> James: I MEAN WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?
>> PRETTY SURE THAT WAS JOSH GAD.
>> James: IT WASN'T JOSH GAD, IT-- THE PROBLEM IS WE ALL KNOW
SO MUCH THAT YOU LOOK LIKE, NOW VIEWERS A THE HOME ALL THEY SEE
EVERY NIGHT IS YOUR EYES.
THEY DON'T KNOW IF IT IS YOU OR THE KID FROM UP GREW UP.
(LAUGHTER) >> I WISH I HAD THAT MANY
BALLOONS RIGHT NOW.
>> James: SO DO YOU GET ABUSED FROM BLAIRSES FANS FOR WEARING
THE LAKE ARES GEAR.
>> I GOT A LITTLE BIT OF ABUSE FROM BLAZERS FANS AND NOW A TON
FROM LAKERS FANS, OH YEAH?
AND THEY DROP THAT ON ME, WELL, YOU SEE THERE WAS A TELEVISED
SPORTS GAME SHOW CALLED GAME ON THAT RAN OVER THE SUMMER AND I
WOLD ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO WATCH IT.
AND THEN THEY ARE LIKE SHUT UP!
AND THEY ARE LIKE-- .
