WHAT A WEEKEND.
WHAT A SURREAL WEEKEND.
THERE IS A LOT TO UNPACK HERE.
OF COURSE THE PRESIDENT AND THE FIRST LADY BOTH TESTED POSITIVE
FOR COVID-19, THEN ALL WEEKEND LONG PEOPLE WERE CONFUSED ABOUT
WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH DONALD TRUMP.
SO IN THAT SENSE YES, IT WAS LIKE A NORMAL WEEKEND.
BUT I MEAN REG I'M KEEN TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS WEEKEND.
AND THERE HE IS, SPEAKING FOR THE NATION.
I ACTUALLY COULDN'T SUM IT UP BETTER MYSELF THAN THAT.
I REALLY COULDN'T.
AT ONE POINT OVER THE WEEKEND IT CAME OUT THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP
HAD BEEN PUT ON OXYGEN WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY CONCERNING.
HERE IS ONE OF HIS DOCTORS TRYING TO EXPLAIN WHY THEY
DIDN'T MENTION THAT IMPORTANT FACT EARLIER.
>> I WAS TRYING TO REFLECT THE UPBEAT ATTITUDE THAT THE TEAM,
THE PRESIDENT, HIS COURSE OF ILLNESS HAS HAD.
I DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION THAT MIGHT STEER THE
COURSE OF ILLNESS IN ANOTHER DIRECTION.
>> James: I DON'T UNDERSTAND, IS THE DOCTOR WORRIED THAT
CORONAVIRUS IS LISTENING TO THIS BRIEFING?
NOBODY SHOULD TRUST THAT MAN AS A PHYSICIAN.
I TELL YOU WHAT, HE WOULD ABSOLUTELY CRUSH AS SOMEONE-- ON
RIVERDALEK WOULDN'T HE?
NOW HERE'S MY QUESTION ABOUT THIS PHYSICIAN.
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES WHERE THERE
HAS BEEN AN UNWELL PRESIDENT.
IAN, DOES HE WEAR THAT JACKET ALL THE TIME OR DOES HE ONLY PUT
IT ON WHEN THE PRESIDENT IS UNWELL.
>> I HAVE NO IDEA.
THAT, IT'S GIGANTIC.
THAT PATCH IS HUGE.
IT LOOKS LIKE A BOOTLEG HE BOUGHT ON AN INSTAGRAM AD.
>> James: LIKE DOES HE SEW IT HIMSELF, IS IT HANGING IN A
PLACE.
HE IS BEING AIR LIFTED AND NOW-- GET MY JACKET!
GET MY JACK ELEVATOR!
MEANWHILE OVER THE WEEKEND THE WHITE HOUSE TRIED TO KEEP
EVERYBODY CALM BY RELEASING PHOTOS OF THE PRESIDENT IN THE
HOSPITAL AS PROOF THAT HE WAS HEALTHY AND HARD AT WORK.
BUT HERE'S THE THING, A LOT OF PEOPLE ON TWITTER NOTICED THAT
THE PIECE OF PAPER THAT HE IS SIGNING ACTUALLY APPEARS TO BE
BLANK.
NOW PEOPLE WERE MOCKING THIS ON LINE WHICH MADE TRUMP FORIOUS AT
HIS STAFF.
HE WAS LIKE YOU GUYS TOLD ME THESE WERE MILITARY CONTRACTS
WRITTEN IN INVISIBLE INC THEN YESTERDAY AFTERNOON TRUMP
DID SOMETHING ODD.
I KNOW, SURPRISE.
HE DECIDED TO GO FOR A DRIVE AROUND THE HOSPITAL SO THAT HE
COULDWAVE AT HIS SUPPORTERS.
HERE HE IS HERE.
>> MR. PRESIDENT.
>> WE LOVE YOU.
>> James: OH MY GOSH, I LOVE YOU.
I HOPE YOU ALSO LOVE GETTING COVID.
SECRET SERVICE AGENTS AIMLESSLY DROVE TRUMP AROUND THE BLOCK AND
I GET IT, I DO.
I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS.
AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.
BECAUSE WHEN MY SON WAS A BABY, SOMETIMES WHEN HE COULDN'T SLEEP
WE WOULD PUT HIM IN THE CAR AND I WOULD DRIVE AROUND THE BLOCK,
TO MAKE HIM GO OFF TO SLEEP.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.
MR. PRESIDENT, YOU HAVE TO REST, HE'S LIKE I CAN'T T LOOKS WEAK,
HE IS LIKE OH THERE SAY RALLY OUTSIDE, THAT WILL DROP HIM OFF.
YOU KEEP WAVING.
>> WELL THE STUNT DIDN'T GO OTHER THAN WELL, SOME PEOPLE
VOICING CONCERNS WITH THE DRIVER AND SECRET SERVICE AGENTS IN
THAT VEHICLE.
ONE PHYSICIAN TWEETED THE RISK OF COVID-19 AM INSIDE IS AS HIGH
AS IT GETS OUTSIDE OF MEDICAL PROCEDURES.
THE IRRESPONSIBILITY IS A STOWDGEDDING, EVEN WORSE AT THE
END OF THE RIDE TRUMP ONLY GAVE HIS DRIVER THREE STARS AND THEN
HE GIVE A THREE STAR RATING.
HE WAS LIKE I CAN'T DRIVE A LUXE ANY MORE.
BUT TRUMP IS NOT THE ONLY ONE DEALING WITH THE VIRUS.
ALL TOLD MORE THAN A DOZEN ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS AND
REPUBLICAN LEADERS WERE DIAGNOSED WITH THE VIRUS OVER
THE PAST FEW DAYS.
HERE THEY ARE HERE.
24R5 LIST READS LUKE A WHO'S WHO OF PEOPLE YOU DESPERATELY WANT
TO AVOID AT A COCKTAIL PARTY.
MORE THAN A DOZEN PROMINENT REPUBLICANS TESTED APPROXIMATES
TIFF FOR THE CORONAVIRUS OVER THE WEEKEND.
THE CRAZIEST PART ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS THEY ALL GOT IT BY GOING
TO A PARTY AT LOGAN PAUL TOWN.
THIS MORNING IT WAS ALSO ANNOUNCED THAT TRUMP'S PRESS
SECRETARY KAYLEIGH McNAIN-- NK ENANY ALSO TESTED APPROXIMATES
TIFF FOR COVID-19 OR AS SHE REPORTED TO THE PRESS, TESTED
NEGATIVE.
TRUMP IMMEDIATELY OFFERED HER ADVICE ON HOW TO FIGHT THE
VIRUS.
HE WAS LIKE HAVE YOUR DRIVER JUST TAKE YOU AROUND THE BLOCK
IN A MINI PARADE.
EVEN AFTER TRUMP HAD BEEN DIAGNOSED McENANY CONTINUED TO
SPEAK TO REPORTERS WITHOUT WEARING A MASK WHICH MAKES SENSE
SINCE GOING VIRAL WHILE ATTACKING THE PRESS IS KIND OF
HER THING OF I LIKE SAYING HER NAME, McENANY, McENANY
McINANY T IS PERFECT, HEY McENANY.
♪ WATCH ME, Mc, WATCH ME NEY NEY.
>> AND THAT'S IT.
THAT IS ALL THAT HAPPENED TODAY, I'M KIDDING THERE IS SO MUCH
MORE.
I JUST, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE TAKE A SLIGHT
INTERMISSION, ISN'T IT?
TRUMP THEN ANNOUNCED THAT HE WOULD BE LEAVING THE HOSPITAL.
THE ONLY WAY THAT TRUMP ANNOUNCES ANYTHING ON TWITTER.
HE WROTE I WILL BE LEAVING THE GREAT WALTER REED MEDICAL CENTER
TODAY AT 6:30 P.M. FEELING REALLY GOOD.
DON'T BE AFRAID OF COVID.
DON'T LET IT DOMINATE YOUR LIFE.
WE HAVE DEVELOPED UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SOME REALLY
GREAT DRUGS AND KNOWLEDGE.
I FEEL BETTER THAN I DID 20 YEARS AGO.
TO BE FAIR, ONLY SOMEONE ON REALLY GREAT DRUGS WOULD THINK
THAT LEAVING THE HOSPITAL TODAY ST A GOOD IDEA.
ARE WE CERTAIN THE DOCTORS HAVEN'T JUST GIVEN HIM COCAINE
BY ACCIDENT?
LIKE YOU GUYS, WE GOT SOME REALLY GREAT DRUGS!
I GOT A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE.
I SHED ABOUT 20 YEARS YOUNGER.
I WANT TO GET OUT THERE.
COME ON!
CRANK ME UP SOME-- WHOOO!
LET'S DRIVE AROUND THE BLOCK AGAIN.
LET'S GO!
>> Reggie: OH MY LORD.
>> James: BUT TRUMP APPARENTLY HAS SUPPORT FROM HIS FULL
MEDICAL TEAM TO LEAVE THE HOSPITAL.
LATER TODAY THEY HELD YET ANOTHER PRESES CONFERENCE
FIELDING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DECISION, HAVE A LOOK.
>> THE TEAM RECOMMENDED AGAINST THE PRESIDENT LEAVING AND GOING
BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY?
>> NO?
>> THAT IS THE CONFIDENCE YOU WANT FROM A DOCTOR.
>> NO.
>> WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK.
THAT VIDEO BASICALLY LOOKS LIKE A TEAM AT WORK WHEN YOUR BOSS
ASKS IF ANYONE HAS A PROBLEM STAYING LATE TONIGHT.
THEY'RE LIKE I DON'T HAVE A PRB STAYING LATE, PEOPLE ARE LIKE
NOT A PROBLEM, SOUNDS GREAT.
MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO IT.
ALTHOUGH OF COURSE THEY WANT TRUMP TO LEAVE, IF ONLY TO STOP
THEM DOING THESE PRESS BRIEFINGS.
THAT IS LIKE 15 DOCTORS OUT THERE.
THEY'RE LIKE WE'VE GOT SOME REALLY SICK PEOPLE IN THERE.
AND EVERY FOUR HOURS I HAVE TO COME OUT HERE AND STAND BEHIND
YOU AND MAKE THE ENTIRE SITUATION WORSE.
TRUMP'S DOCTOR WAS THEN CALLED TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION OF THE
PRESIDENT'S MENTAL STABILITY.
HERE IS WHAT HE HAD TO SAY.
>> HIS MENTAL STATUS, YOU CAN TALK ABOUT WHETHER HE HAS
NEUROLOGICAL SYMPTOMS, SIDE EFFECTS FROM MEDICATIONS, ANY
FOGGINESS FROM THE VIRUS.
>> NO, I THINK YOU HAVE SEEN THE VIDEOS AND THE TWEETS.
YOU WILL SEE HIM SHORTLY, YOU KNOW.
HE IS BACK, YEAH.
>> Reggie: OH MY LORD-- .
>> James: YEAH NO, WE'VE SEEN THE VIDEO AND THE TWEETSES.
THAT IS WHY WE ARE ASKING THIS QUESTION.
BUT HE'S RIGHT BECAUSE TRUMP IS BACK, OKAY.
THIS JUST HAPPENED.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WMS OFFICIALLY RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL AND
AS SOON AS HE GOT TO THE WHITE HOUSE, HE TOOK OFF HIS MASK AND
STRUCK A POSE.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> Z WHEN YOU WATCH THAT, IT DOES LOOK LIKE THE DRAMA OF THE
MOMENT REALLY TOOK TRUMP'S BREATHE AWAY.
OH, THAT'S PROBABLY THE CORONAVIRUS.
THE FIRST THING HE DID AFTER BEING IN THE HOSPITAL FOR FOUR
DAYS WITH A HIGHLY CON TABLINGOUS VIRUS WAS TAKE HIS
MASK OFF.
THAT IS LIKE SWINGING THROUGH A CARL'S, JR. ON YOUR WAY HOME
FROM A TRIPLE BYPASS.
AT ONE POINT HE STOOD ON THE STEPS OF THE WHITE HOUSE
SALUTING FOR THE CAMERAS.
LOOK AT THIS.
NEVER SERVED A DAY IN THE MILITARY, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
BONE SPURS, BUDDY.
HE HELD THAT SALUTE FOR A FULL 23 SECONDS.
OR ONE SECOND FOR EVERY PERSON HE HAS INFECTED WITH COVID.
>> AND AS IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH TO WRAP UP THIS WEEKEND OF NEWS,
THERE IS MORE.
I'M KIDDING.
THAT'S IT.
THAT IS ALL THE NEWS WE'VE GOT AT THIS POINT IN THE SHOW.
THAT'S ENOUGH.
YOU KNOW BUT THEN WE TAPE THIS AT LIKE WHAT TIME IS T WHAT IS
THE TIME, REG.
>> Reggie: 5:05.
>> James: SO WE TAPE THIS AT 5:05, IT AIRS AT 12:37 A.M.
WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN IN THE NEXT SEVEN HOURS BUT WE'VE
DONE IT.
YOU ARE UP TO DATE.
