[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: welcome. welcome. hi everyone, i'm jimmy,i'm the host. thanks for watching. thanks for coming. [ cheers and applause ] wow. there's something -- there's a little extra [ cheers and applause ] there's just something in the air tonight, don't know if you can feel it but not too far from

here at the beverley hills home of the buccaneers wealthy individuals are gathering for special guest of honor president donald jessica trump [ laughter ] tickets for this dinner which is happening right now went from a minimum of $35,000 to a top price of $250,000. for $250,000 you get to sit on his lap. could you imagine paying that much to have dinner in a room with donald trump with his head lodged in a bucket of chicken, i don't know how he eats. if you want to give money to donald trump that you never want to see again invest in his business. [ cheers and applause ] thanks guys. there he is arriving holding the world's largest umbrella. [ laughter ] look kids it's harry poppins. his hands make the umbrella look

bigger than it is. that's a cocktail umbrella. they pulled it out of a drink on air force one. this is trump's first visit to california we are not his favorite state. the fundraiser was hosted by the chair woman of the rnc, ronald mc daniel, which makes sense because trump thought they said ronltd ronald mcdonald and went to look at the wall that everyone's going to pay for. >> looking at the wall see through capability with steel and concrete on top. the base you see more clearly back there the larger it is the better because it's very hard to get over the top. who would think. getting over the top. it's easy. these are like professional mountain climbers. incredible climbers. they can't climb some of these walls some they can.

those are the walls we're not using. >> jimmy: so wait, we're going to spend $70 billion to keep the mexico mountain climbers out of the country. [ cheers and applause ] seems excessive. this thing about the wall being see through. i think i figured it out,he's not actually building the wall, he's building an aquarium. his own sea world and we're the fish in it. meantime, the president actually had a lot of fun inspecting his wall samples today. [ laughter ] >> thank you all, i'll see you -- i'll see you at the wall of i'll see you at the wall. >> be ware the orange walker. [ laughter ] it's been a roller coaster 24 hours for team trump. president was riding high after rebound members of the house intelligence committee opted to the end of the russian investigation, i should say their russia "investigation" but putting republican members in the house in charge of find us out if there was collusion with

russia is like finding a team of raccoons finding out who is knocking over the trash. the president was fired up. this tweet from donald trump this tweet from donald trump notice he did it in all caps, no way he knows about caps lock. guaranteed he hit shift before every single one of those letters. that's how excited he was about that. tell you what. i saw that, that tweet reminded me of another stable genius remember this one. that's right. our next president, west. the investigation ended on thursday. so it is surprising they already have their final report written, turns out they wrote the final report first months ago and then moved on to the investigation. major time saver. that way. i guess all 17 national

intelligence agencies unanimously confirmed russia meddled in our election in order to help donald trump were wrong. i mean, that's embarrassing. really is. that's not even the big story of the day. another high-level member of team trump got the boot today. secretary of state rex tillerson this morning out of nowhere learns he's been fired from a tweet. tweet. this is what trump tweeted -- tweeted -- congratulations except including rex. congratulations. [ laughter ] that's how he found out, from a tweet. donald trump spent more time firing little jon then he did firing the secretary of state. rex doesn't know why he was fired especially since trump

tweeted this three and half weeks ago. o. i'm starting to fires people so he can get some going away cake at the party. trump said he made the decision quote, by myself. like a five-year-old. i did it all by myself. of course you did there's no one left at the white house. just you and your slovenian captive. [ cheers and applause ] what? was that too much. i'll make a note of that. so rex tillerson gave a press conference, at which he thanked a lot of people but not donald trump. he's been replaced by cia director mike pompeo which is the italian word for volcano that will kill us all.

here's what trump said about his new secretary of state. te. >> i respect his intellect and i respect the process we've all gone through together. we have a very good relationship. for whatever reason, chemistry. whatever it is. why do people get along. i've always right from the beginning from day one i've gotten along well with mike pompeo and frankly i get along well with rex too. i wish rex a lot of good things i think he will be much happier now. >> did he fire him or have him put to sleep? what is it? [ laughter ] so to recap rex is out, cohn is out, rex tillerson is out, top of that all, yesterday, they fired trump's personal assistant john mcatee was with him last three years was his body man he was fired for being under investigation

by the department of homeland security for serious financial crimes. he really picks the best people. can't argue with that. this is what he looks like by the way. hello handsome. according to members of the white house staff he was escorted out ever the building and wasn't allowed to get his jacket. his problems related to gambling and tax issues. the good news is, even though he had to be removed from the white house he's already new job as senior advisor to trump's reelection campaign. so hakunamatadaa everyone. you know, so many members of this trump team have been eliminated from the white house but just because they're gone doesn't mean they have to be forgotten now for a very low price each one of them can be a every day part of your life. >> we begin with breaking new in washington president trump

firing rex tillerson citing ir reconcilable differences. tillerson finding out about it on twitter. >> well i for one will certainly miss him. >> hi i'm television's george decay now you can pay tribute to all of donald trump's ex-cabinet members with these departed staffer commemorative plates. order now and each month will receive a newly crafted place plate, and they're all here sean spicer, fbi director james comey, steve bannon. anthony scaramucci, and oh, my rosa. and sure to grow. we're adding 50 blank plates so you can affix your own pictures to keep up. look what i did.
