here it comes. take a look. and no, thank you! [ laughter ] president trump released a 2018 budget plan today, titled "a new foundation for american greatness." boy, you can tell that from the name, trump loves this budget. when he doesn't love something, he'll give it a boring name like "eric."

victims and their families. our thanks to those who ran to help. and our plea for all of us to not need a tragedy to remind us of the importance of treating those we do not know, with love instead of hate. so thank you very much for listening.

[ light laughter ] then, in british columbia -- and she's fine -- a girl got snatched off the pier by a sea lion.

and i was like, "what!? but i saw it as a gif, so i was like -- "what? what? what? what? what? what? what? what?

[ light laughter ] every day, there seems to be a new bombshell coming from the trump administration. so we thought we'd take a break from the breaking news of the day and check in on one of president trump's campaign promises. specifically, his promise to drain the swamp. this is, "the check-in." ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: president trump made a lot of promises throughout his campaign. and in general, he kept them very simple. as evidence by their ability to be expressed in three-syllable chants. let's see, there was this one --

>> build that wall! build that wall! >> seth: there was this one -- >> lock her up! lock her up! >> seth: there was this one, that trump tried to start, but it never really took off. >> keep his coat! >> seth: but there was one chant that really summed up the mission statement of the trump campaign. >> we are going to drain the swamp. >> drain the swamp! drain the swamp! drain the swamp! drain the swamp! drain the swamp! >> seth: and that clip really speaks to how little a plan he had to actually drain the swamp. he said it, and just wandered off. [ laughter ] how? because when it came time for candidate trump to clearly define which policies he would put in place to drain the washington, d.c. swamp of insiders, lobbyist, and special interest groups, he instead opted for this thorough explanation of how the catch phrase came to be in the first place.

>> when i first heard that term, i hated it. i said, "oh, that's so hokey. that is so hokey." but i said, "look, let's give it a shot." i tried to, the place went crazy. then i said, "maybe we'll try it again." the place went crazy. and now i like it. you know, great, great singers, a lot of great artists, great singers -- frank sinatra. so frank sinatra didn't like "my way" when he first sang it. and then he noticed, the audience liked it a lot. and then it went out, became number one, like big. and all of a sudden he started to love that song, "my way", right? so, drain the swamp. >> seth: hey, donald, here's my frank sinatra story. i went to the doctor, because i had a rash. and he told me it's because "i've got you under my skin." [ laughter and applause ] now, of course, the problem with

the trump analogy is that sinatra was singing a song in the hopes that people would like it, whereas trump was making a promising promise that he would have to follow through on. and so far, he has not. >> is now-president trump draining the swamp or stocking it with a whole bunch of new critters? the administration has made a number of hires who are advising or leading the agencies they targeted as lobbyists just a short time ago. >> as it turns out, big money contributions from friendly donors to the president's inaugural committee are paying off for them. coal magnate and energy executive, christopher klein, gave $1 million as well. trump overturned many obama era energy regulations, that's cute. >> trump is not draining the swamp. nope. he's inviting the biggest, ugliest swamp monsters in the front door, and he's turning them loose on our government and on our economy. >> seth: so it seems a more accurate three-word campaign promise would have been, "run! swamp monsters." [ light laughter ] now, trump did sign an executive order ban on lobbying shortly

after he took office, which probably would have been good policy of it were actually enforced. but according to reports, at least nine people who worked on trump's transition have already registered as lobbyists, because of loopholes in the ban. meaning they can now cash in privately for whatever work they did in the government. the exact thing trump promised to avoid. and to make matters worse, it's not just people leaving the government who are taking jobs they probably shouldn't. according to reports, the white house is issuing secret waivers to the president's own ethics rules, allowing incoming officials to work on issues they handled before becoming public servants. under the obama administration, such waivers were made public on a white house website. but we checked that page under the trump administration and -- there you go. it's still completely blank. other blank white house web pages include -- court cases trump won. [ laughter ] kellyanne conway's honest statements. [ light laughter ] and melania's favorite things to do in d.c. [ laughter ] and these shouldn't be that difficult for the president to fix. because besides actually enforcing his own ban, trump

could also expand the definition of lobbyist. because there's another pre-existing loophole that basically says, former administration officials can call themselves consultants instead. so you can just change the name and get away with it. try that some time. "no, officer, i'm not a drug dealer. i'm a freelance pharmaceutical consultant." [ light laughter ] "richard, i'm not cheating on you. kevin is my extra-marital copulation advisor." [ laughter ] so as usual with trump, his insistence on changing the way washington works was overhyped. mainly just empty promises and all talk. in other words -- >> that is so hokey. >> seth: this has been "the check-in." ♪ [ cheers and applause ] we'll be right back with chris pine, everybody.

[ light laughter ] >> seth: yes, it does. it's not where you would expect -- it's not -- it doesn't seem like modern times here in this "wonder woman" film. >> no, so this is -- it's 1917, it's world war i. and -- so i play this guy, steve trevor who's a spy -- he's an american guy working as a pilot for the british. and he comes across this notebook filled with equations

uh, do you guys -- you guys know "wonder woman?" wonder -- >> seth: yeah. >> okay. so the question is: "if you had the lasso of truth, who would you lasso?

to every time that the president makes some comment that i don't agree with. but what he does then is when, for example, this budget that just came over, does not restore the military. okay, it doesn't. now, they're saying that it does. and they're making cuts in things like the state department. now, general mattis is our secretary of defense. he's a great guy. he said, "you keep cutting the state department, you're going to have to buy me more bullets." because we've got to have a state department that can carry out diplomacy, respect for human rights, all the things that they should do. so, it's what he does, not what he says. and i want him to succeed. i want him to succeed. he's our president. and i'm worried about these scandals that paralyze the government. now it hasn't yet, but it's headed in that direction. >> seth: you mentioned the budget, which you don't feel like it does enough for the military. other critics of it says it makes massive cuts in things like medicaid, and food stamps, and americans who have less. >> it's dead on arrival.
