credit for this. you're welcome, blacks, enjoy your month. the president was up bright and early this morning tweeting. thank you for all the nice compliments and reviews is on the state of the union speech. 46.6 million people watched. delivered from the heart. now, there are two factual inaccuracies in that tweet. number one, i don't know who told him it was, but it was not the highest rated state of the union of history, it was the ninth highest rated state of the union. maybe he meant it was the highest rated in the history of his head. i don't know. [ laughter ] the second was when he said it was delivered from the heart. it was delivered from his mouth through a teleprompter. okay? meanwhile, and this is a real number. president trump's approval rating is up ten points from december. up to 42%. essentially he's gone from overwhelmingly despised to mostly disliked. [ laughter ] but he's happy with that. that is good for him. he was in west virginia today.

they had a retreat with republican leaders and the president made a major announcement about american policy going forward. >> and there's one more very important promise we're keeping. no longer are we making apologies for america. we don't apologize anymore. >> jimmy: what a great lesson for kids, huh? [ laughter ] don't ever apologize. even if you've done something wrong. keep it to yourself. what is happening? [ laughter ] i think we need to lock him in the white house until we can figure out what the hell is going on. [ cheers and applause ] the big story of the day -- and maybe this is something you haven't been following because it's not as colorful as the usual nonsense surrounding the president. but the big story is whether and when the white house will release the so-called nunes memo. this is a memo written by devin nunes, a republican congressman from california, the head of the house intelligence committee.

this, by the way, is his high school yearbook photo. this person is now the head of the house intelligence committee. [ laughter ] which should give you an idea how much intelligence we're dealing with. he looks like the disturbed cousin that comes to visit in a very special episode of an '80s sitcom. [ laughter ] anyway, devin nunes is somehow still in charge of this russia investigation in the house in spite of the fact that he recused himself from the investigation after he got caught sneaking to the white house to share information with the people he was supposed to be investigating. to call devin nunes donald trump's lapdog is an insult to dogs and laps. he's more of a retriever, go with this memo to smear the fbi. he recused himself in april, which was the right thing to do. but now in february, he's unrecused. he wrote a memo that claims the fbi overstepped their surveillance of trump foreign policy adviser carter page in which in a very obvious attempt to paint the fbi as biased

against donald trump and to discredit the work of the special counsel. because here's how our government works now. if your party is in charge, you can lie, you can cheat, you can game the system to benefit your buddy, you can basically do whatever you want. when a newspaper digs whatever you did up and publishes a story about it, you don't just attack the facts, you don't just attack the story, you attack the newspaper. the newspaper is biased, even if the newspaper clearly isn't biased. that stormy daniels story, the newspaper that published the report about trump paying her off, that was "the wall street journal." you know who owns "the wall street journal"? rupert murdoch. the guy who owns fox news. and the first four hours of the president's day every day published that story. [ laughter ] but according to our president, that story is fake news even though it was published in a newspaper owned by a man donald trump worships and talks to once a week. even though the source of the story is pro trump, we should disregard it because he said we should. step two is when multiple newspapers and news

organizations and reporters further an investigation, whatever the investigation, when they report something you don't like, if you're the president now, you don't just attack the newspapers or the news networks. you attack the media. you say the media is biased. you call them the elite media. they're all in league together, everyone except "fox & friends" is making things up to try to defeat me because they don't want america to be great again. so they're sitting in their offices coming up with stories about russians and collusion and obstruction just to get me and the people who support me believe it. and then once the media is playing defense, you climb another rung. when your problems start to move up to the fbi, when the fbi steps in and starts sniffing around and hands out subpoenas, now you get nervous. so what do you do? same thing you always do. you attack, in this case, the fbi. you discredit the fbi, you discredit the special counsel. you discredit anybody who might possibly come up with

information you don't like. never mind the fact that most of the people you say are against you are lifelong republicans like robert mueller who voluntarily enlisted in the marines to fight in vietnam, who served as u.s. attorney, who served in the department of justice, who prosecuted john gotti, who was named director of the fbi by president bush, robert mueller is now against you. he turned somehow. jim comey is against you. he turned. rod rosenstein who you appointed, turned. they're all somehow part of this conspiracy against you and you want them out. see, this is what happens when the only rule in your house growing up is, you don't like the butler? well, we'll fire the butler. the head of the fbi, christopher ray says he has great concerns about the release of the memo. he says the memo is misleading and might even resign if the memo gets released. that's the report we're hearing. this isn't some obama holdover. this is a man who, according to a very stable genius, has impeccable credentials. i'll be nominating christopher

a. wray a man of impeccable credentials to be the director of the fbi. now you have a problem with him. but that doesn't matter because now you've convinced the people that follow you that everyone you say is dishonest is dishonest, the media, the fbi, the department of justice, the special counsel, if they eventually do start locking up members of your team and your family, you can say i've been telling you all along these guys are it out to get me. and you can hand out a bunk ch pardons without a citizen revolt. they're all out to get you. this is the same defense that o.j. used and it worked. o.j. lives in vegas now and plays a lot of golf, which is where i'm sure donald trump wishes he was. paul ryan, mitch mcconnell they will go along with it, and help you destroy the credibility of men they know are honest, they'll destroy the credibility of institutions that are necessary to the security of this country to get what they want. paul ryan is sitting there.

he is watching all this happen like the ringmaster at the world's most perverted circus. the lions are eating the horses, the tight ropes are snapping, clowns are attacking children, the torch jugglers have set the tent on fire and paul ryan is standing there smiling and waving like an animatronic forrest gump or something. the thing i keep going back to, in order to use common sense, if trump really has nothing to hide, let the investigations play out, let them prove your innocence. maybe you are -- maybe donald trump is innocent. he could be. i don't know. none of us know. we're not on the special counsel. but donald trump knows, so he wants to release that memo just to cover himself. and that's probably what he'll do tomorrow. and by the way, donald, if you do release that memo, i'd like to see your tax returns, too. [ cheers and applause ] you promised that to us. i know you keep your promises. are you following me, guillermo? >> guillermo: yes, jimmy. >> jimmy: recap what i said.

[ cheers and applause ] here's why i'm here. because tonight we are launching -- this is the first time i'm talking about this. we're launching a new campaign. i've teamed up with my friends at funny or die, run by will ferrell and adam mckay. we are launching a campaign to raise awareness of the midterm elections and to help register voters all across the country.

[ applause ] i'm a wonderful person, and i'm very excited about this. so let me explain what we're going to do. some of you probably know, some of you may not know out there, the midterm elections are this november. november 6th. it's a very big day. and the one productive thing you can do to change the course of things or support what's happening, if you support it, is to go out and vote. and here is a key statistic, okay? 12% of millennials voted in the most recent midterm election, 2014. >> jimmy: oh, my god. >> which means 88% did not vote. i know they hate older people like me telling them they're millennials. but just deal with it. >> jimmy: you made this video. >> that we're using to launch the campaign. we have pinpointed specific districts where they're going to be very hotly contested contests all over the country. we're going to go to -- imagine

leaving l.a.? horrifying. but we're going to go to specific districts, as many as we can afford to all around the country, we'll be educating people there, young people who maybe never voted in the elections before. who the candidates are. it's not like the presidential election where we're all focused on the same race. it's complicated. there's a lot of information to process. and we're going to go and make it fun and turn the midterms into the hottest, sexiest event of the entire year. >> jimmy: we should play this video. >> yeah. >> jimmy: so you want to introduce this? >> yes, this is our launch video with jimmy kimmel and some other familiar faces coming together for the first time to help us launch glam up the midterms. >> get ready for the hottest event of the year. >> not the grammys, the oscars or the golden globes. it's the 2018 midterm elections. >> hello, america. i'm jimmy kimmel. >> it's john oliver.

>> it's me, conan o'brien. >> sarah silverman. >> james corden here. >> chelsea handler. >> andy cohen. >> seth meyers. >> and i'm billy eichner. i don't have a show but i'm an american citizen, in that order. >> we late night hosts rarely do stuff together. >> but this time it's different. >> because america, there's something coming up. >> the most glamorous -- >> elegant. >> sexy. >> day of our lives. >> the 2018 midterm elections. >> november 6th, 2018. >> this time election day is the biggest, sexiest -- >> most glamorous day of the year. >> time to glam up the midterms. >> make your plans, when you're going, what you're wearing. who is your plus one? >> or a plus two. >> because they're not the world cup or the olympics. >> or that stupid solar eclipse that you've already forgotten about. >> maybe you can buy the dumb glasses you bought when you go vote. they are like my ex-boyfriend.

they [ bleep ] once and then that's it for two years. he was on this anxiety medication. anyway, i'm coming to your district. >> pennsylvania, seven. >> virginia ten. >> maroon five. daddy's home two. >> starting now and going all the way to november 6th, 2018. >> the biggest day of the year. >> see you there.
