NOW, DONALD TRUMP CONTINUES TO BE IN HOT WATER OVER HIS
DEROGATORY COMMENTS ABOUT HAITIN AND AFRICAN COUNTRIES.
YOU KNOW YOUR PRESIDENCY ISN'T GOING WELL IF ONE OF YOUR
BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS IS GETTING NPR TO SAY THE WORD
(BLEEP).
THIS MORNING, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY--
( LAUGHTER ) AND VICE PRINCIPAL REASSESSING
HER LIFE CHOICES, SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS ATTEMPTED TO DEFEND THE
PRESIDENT AGAINST CHARGES OF RACISM.
>> FRANKLY, I THINK IF THE CRITICS OF THE PRESIDENT WERE
WHO HE SAID HE WAS, WHY DID NBC GIVE HIM A SHOW FOR A DECADE ON
TV?
>> Stephen: I MEAN, SHE'S GOT A POINT.
NBC HAS ALWAYS SHOWN GREAT JUDGMENT WITH THEIR LONG-TERM
EMPLOYEES.
JUST ASK BILL COSBY AND MATT LAUER.
( LAUGHTER ) ( CHEERS )
NOT RACIST.
NOT RACIST!
MEANWHILE, TRUMP'S DEFENDERS IN THE G.O.P. HAVE BEEN TELLING
EVERYONE, HE NEVER SAID (BLEEP), AND SOMEHOW CAME TO THE
CONCLUSION THAT THE OFFENSIVE PART OF THAT PHRASE WAS THE WORD
"HOLE," BECAUSE YESTERDAY SOME REPUBLICANS WERE SAYING THAT
THEY HEARD (BLEEP) HOUSE RATHER THAN (BLEEP) HOLE.
CAN YOU GUESS WHAT "HOLE" THEY PULLED THAT OUT OF?
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) PRIVATE FAMILY JOKE.
AND TODAY, SOME REPUBLICANS ARE COUNTRIES" REFERS TO POOR
COUNTRIES WITH NO PLUMBING, PLACES WHERE YOU HAVE TO WALK
OUT TO THE (BLEEP) HOUSE AND, THEREFORE, THE PHRASE IS NOT
RACIST.
YES, OF COURSE.
WHO HASN'T HEARD OF THE WELL-KNOWN PRACTICE OF
DESCRIBING A NATION BY ITS PLUMBING CONDITIONS.
JAPAN IS "ROBOT TOILET COUNTRY," FRANCE "THOUGHT THAT WAS THE
TOILET BUT THEN WATER SQUIRTED ON MY BUTT" LAND, GERMANY IS...
LET'S NOT GET INTO IT.
( LAUGHTER ) THERE'S A SHELF, AND IT'S
RIDICULOUS.
NOW, TRUMP'S COMMENTS WERE ALSO THE FOCUS OF TODAY'S SENATE
HEARING FOR SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY AND SPARE
CHELSEA HANDLER, KIRSTJEN NIELSEN.
NIELSEN WAS IN THE ROOM WHEN TRUMP DROPPED THE S-HOLE BOMB,
AND THEY ASKED HER ABOUT IT.
>> YOU SAID ON FOX NEWS THE PRESIDENT USED STRONG LANGUAGE.
WHAT WAS THAT STRONG LANGUAGE?
>> LET'S SEE, STRONG LANGUAGE, THERE WAS... APOLOGIES.
I DON'T REMEMBER THE SPECIFIC WORD.
WHAT I WAS STRUCK WITH, FRANKLY-- AS I'M SURE YOU WERE
AS WELL-- WAS JUST THE GENERAL PROFANITY USED IN THE ROOM BY
ALMOST EVERYONE.
>> DID YOU HEAR ME USE PROFANITY?
>> NO, SIR.
>> Stephen: "WOULD YOU LIKE TO?
BECAUSE I'VE BEEN HOLDING IT IN FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW."
( LAUGHTER ) SENATORS THEN QUESTIONED WHY THE
PRESIDENT EXPRESSED PREFERENCE FOR IMMIGRANTS FROM NORWAY
DURING THE MEETING.
>> NORWAY IS A PREDOMINANTLY WHITE COUNTRY, ISN'T IT?
>> I-- I ACTUALLY DO NOT KNOW THAT, SIR, BUT I IMAGINE THAT IS
THE CASE.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT NORWAY?
WHAT THE FJORD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
( LAUGHTER ) I WILL REMIND YOU-- I WILL
REMIND YOU, YOUR NAME IS KIRSTJEN NIELSEN WITH A SILENT
"J."
REALLY!
( LAUGHTER ) BUT SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM
SUMMED THINGS UP BEST.
>> THIS HAS TURNED INTO A S-SHOW.
>> Stephen: SENATOR, YOU CAN SAY THE WORD.
IT'S ON A GIANT POSTER RIGHT NEXT TO YOU.
( LAUGHTER ) "OKAY, AMANDA, WELCOME TO THE
INTERN PROGRAM.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE COLLATING THE REPORTS ON THE PROPOSED
IMMIGRANT BILL.
ALAN, YOU'RE GOING TO HOLD A SIGN THAT SAYS, (BLEEP).
COLLEGE CREDIT."
THEN, LIKE THE GOOD SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN HE IS, SENATOR GRAHAM
GOT NOSTALGIC FOR THE PAST.
>> TUESDAY, WE HAD A PRESIDENT THAT I WAS PROUD TO GOLF WITH,
CALL MY FRIEND, WHO UNDERSTOOD IMMIGRATION HAD TO BE
BIPARTISAN, YOU HAD TO HAVE BORDER SECURITY, ESSENTIAL YOU
HAD BORDER SECURITY WITH A WALL.
BUT HE ALSO UNDERSTOOD THE IDEA THAT WE HAD TO DO IT WITH
COMPASSION.
NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT GUY WENT.
I WANT HIM BACK.
>> Stephen: GOOD POINT, SENATOR.
YOU KNOW WHO I MISS?
THIS GUY: >> YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE
AMERICA GREAT AGAIN?
TELL DONALD TRUMP TO GO TO HELL.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW WHERE
THAT GUY WENT, BUT I WANT HIM BACK.
( LAUGHTER ) WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU
TONIGHT, EVERYBODY.
JON BON JOVI IS HERE!
BUT WHEN WE RETURN, THE LATEST CRAZY FAD FROM SILICON VALLEY.
