[ light laughter ] that's right, pat him on the back like a normal person. give him a thumbs up. there you go. but you're not normal. you know you're not normal. so here's what i think you should do. open that window and jump out before this whole situation goes to hell. ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: the tiny voice in the back of donald trump's head, everybody.

you guys, we have a great show for you tonight. she's the host of the syndicat "wendy williams show," our friend, wendy williams is here again. [ cheers and applause ] he's currently on the road in support of his new standup show, "the new one." mike birbiglia is here, our friend. [ cheers and applause ] mike birbiglia. before we get to our guests, minnesota senator, al franken, resigned today amid a growing sexual harassment scandal. meanwhile, the president's son testified in the russia investigation and refused to answer some questions on the basis of attorney/client privilege. for more on this, it's time for "a closer look." ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: after the first harassment accusations surfaced against franken last month, several more women have come forward to say franken groped them. after the initial wave of allegations, franken was asked in an interview if he thought any more accusers would come forward, and replied, "i certainly hope not." [ laughter ] that's not an answer that inspires a lot of confidence. [ laughter ] that's like if a cop asks you if, i search your car -- "if i search your car, am i

going to find weed?" [ laughter ] also, do you have any doritos?" and it turned out there were more accusers. in fact, a seventh woman came forward anonymously yesterday and said that franken tried to forcibly kiss her after the taping of his radio show in 2006. franken's also been accused by several women of groping them during photo ops. and yesterday another women, a journalist and a former democratic congressional staffer came forward to make a similar accusation. as she describes it, "we posed for the shot. he immediately put his hand on my waist, grabbing a handful of flesh, i froze, then he squeezed at least twice." not only can you not do that to a woman you barely know, you can't do that to your wife. [ laughter ] unless you're in the mood to pick up all your clothes from the front lawn. [ laughter ] so finally, democrats mobilized and today franken announced that he would resign after more than 30 democratic senators and the chairman of the democratic national committee called on him to step down. now, compare that to the response of the republican party.

which has fallen in line with the president being accused by more than ze alabama, roy moore, has been accused by at least nine women, including several who were under age at the time. sexual harassment should be a non-partisan issue and yet, many republicans have tried to cynically exploit the franken scandal for political gain. while simultaneously, refusing to denounce the abusers in their own party. like whitehouse counselor, kellyanne conway who tweeted of gillibrand, "today she joins most democratic senators calling for photogenic senator franken to resign. just yesterday, she wasn't so sure." you work for a guy who has been accused by more than 12 women of sexual harassment and assault. kellyanne conway has so little self awareness, that when she walks by a mirror, she thinks there is a stranger in her house. [ cheers and applause ] and not only has trump been accused of sexual assault, he's on tape bragging about it. and he's endorsed a man who has been accused by at least nine women. and yet when pressed on wednesday to reconcile the double standard for franken and moore, conway tried to have it

both ways by claiming the troubling, but also still supporting him. and confusingly she cited cnn's infamous apple commercial and its slogan, "facts first." >> the president has said the following. >> mm-hmm. >> the allegations are troubling. roy moore has denied them, the president said they're 40 years old. the president said -- >> so what? who cares how old they are? >> excuse me, i'm reflecting to everybody, so they have facts first. >> all right, go ahead. >> we're talking apples and not bananas. >> that's right, don't be a banana, give me some more apples. >> i see a lot of bananas. >> seth: that's what our discourse has come to. [ laughter ] our journalists and political leaders have communicating via fruit. [ laughter ] "give me some more apples. i see a lot of bananas. that's just sour grapes. i don't like the points you're raisin, but orange you glad to be here. this isn't exactly a plum gig. hey, use your melon. oh, honeydew." [ cheers and applause ] trump and the gop are backing an accused child molester just so they can ram through their fragile agenda.

an agenda that grows more fragile by the day as the russia in for example, just yesterday the house intelligence committee interviewed the president's son don jr. for nearly eight hours. he was in there so long, his hair gel gave out. [ laughter and applause ] eight hours! think about how dangerous that is. that means for eight hours, eric was unsupervised! [ laughter ] "brother, i got my head stuck in the railing again!" [ cheers and applause ] now, don jr. is of specific interest to investigators, because of that infamous meeting he had with the russian lawyer at trump tower in 2016. a meeting don jr. took, because he was promised dirt on hillary clinton as part of russia and its government support for mr. trump. now, when that first broke, don jr. tried to play down the meeting in an interview with sean hannity, by claiming nothing came out of it. >> an acquaintance -- >> mm-hmm. >> you know, sent me this e-mail. as a courtesy to him, i said, "okay, let's meet." but i didn't know who i was meeting beforehand. never heard of the person, never

got the information until they were in the room. meeting was, hey, we have information. and there was, you know, some small talk, i don't even remember what it was. it was sort of nonsensical, inane and garbled. >> seth: it was nonsensical, inane and garbled? was it coming from your father? >> god bless the palestinians and god bless the united states. [ laughter and applause ] >> seth: poor trump. trump lies through his teeth so often, they're trying to get out of his mouth. one big question of course is how much donald trump knew about this meeting. when he met with the house intelligence committee yesterday, don jr. acknowledged he discussed that meeting with his father after it became public, but he refused to answer any questions about the content of those conversations using a very dubious excuse as congressman adam schiff explained after the meeting. >> he acknowledged having discussed the june 9th meeting and the e-mails that went into establishing that meeting after those e-mails became public. he acknowledged discussing that

matter with his father. but refused to answer questions about that disio in my view, there was no attorney-client privilege that protects a discussion between father and son. the claim of privilege is that at a time when father and son were discussing the june 9th meeting and the emails that led up to it. they had the discussion in the presence of council. >> his argument is that because there was an attorney in the room, anything they discussed is privileged? >> that was the nature of the claim, yes. >> seth: so he thinks because there was a lawyer in the room, everything they said is subject to attorney-client privilege. that's not how that works. don jr. is the kind of guy who if he heard his college roommate hooking up with someone in their dorm, would run out in the hallway and yell, "i just had a threesome!" [ laughter ] and let's also not forget that the don jr. e-mail was far from an isolated incident. in fact, russian contacts repeatedly made overtures to trump officials seeking to establish a connection and just

st reported that a conservative operative offered the trump campaign a kremlin connection, using nra ties. and if you include the e-mail described in that report, that means we now know of at least four different e-mails sent to trump officials with the subject lines, and these are real, "kremlin connection," "russian back door overture and dinner invite," "russia clinton private and confidential" and "putin/trump." [ laughter ] the trump campaign got more e-mails about russia than i get about pottery barn. we're a week away from finding out that the trump campaign got an e-mail with the subject line, "collusion from crimes at russia.gov." now, one of the big questions is, what did the russians want in return for all those offers of help? and this week we also started to get a better picture of that too. former national security advisor michael flynn pleaded guilty to lying about his conversations with the russian ambassador, specifically about sanctions on russia for their election meddling. and now we know what specifically flynn may have been promising in those conversations. >> nbc news reports that according to an unnamed whistleblower, mike flynn sent a

text to a former b associate, 11 minutes after donald trump was sworn in as president, saying, "russian sanctions would be, quote, 'ripped up once trump was inside the white house.'" >> seth: it only took 11 minutes for everything to go to [ bleep ]. [ laughter ] so just think about that. obama imposed sanctions on russia for interfering in the election, and one of the first things that trump team wanted to do was get rid of those sanctions. that's incredibly suspicious. that's like going to see a friend in prison and walking in with a cake that says, "just a dessert, no file inside. #cakenews." [ laughter and applause ] been a lot of efforts on this show to get cake news into it. [ laughter ] so the evidence is the trump team actively tried to collude with a foreign government to undermine a presidential election continues to mount. and even as that happens, the republican party is happy to

fall in line with the president and his agenda even if that means backing an accused child molester. it can be hard to fathom sometimes just how crazy things are getting. in other words -- >> i see a lot of bananas. >> seth: this has been "a closer look."

on a "people," but not on your english class,ou mean? >> seth: yeah. >> you really have to sell it local. [ laughter ] and he had it! he had it! like he really -- people would be like, "have you ever seen bradley cooper." we never met, and then here we are in the street, and you know bradley, and you introduced me to him, and i said, "hey, i was in the improv group you went to -- you were in the other theater group." and he just goes, "all right." and i was like, that's a -- that's a letdown, but -- [ laughter ] but in retrospect, i blame you, because -- [ laughter ] well, because of the introduction. i feel like on this show, you do such a nice job. this next guy is a filmmaker, he did "sleepwalk with me," and he did the thing -- got a new tour, please welcome mike birbiglia -- you didn't do that. you just go, mike birbiglia, and i feel like you could have gone big! [ laughter ] you could have been like, "this guy, he's a very small part in 'train wreck,' he is the 75th lead on 'orange is the new black,' he was on one episode of 'girls,' please welcome mike birbiglia everybody." i'd be like, "nice to meet you"" he'd be like, "oh, wow." >> seth: yeah, i should have given you a talk show introduction. do you remember, the other thing that i remember happening is after no one, not a single

person noticed us -- >> seth: a very beautiful woman walked by, and like saw bradley cooper and went into like -- >> yeah, an irish woman. >> seth: yeah, it was like an irish woman. >> yeah, yeah. >> seth: it was like the matrix where everything got really slow. she was like -- [ laughter ] >> no, it's wild. he is astoundingly beautiful. >> seth: yeah, he really is, and then we like had lunch, and just ate in silence. >> well, that lunch -- that lunch was very memorable for me, because i was writing this movie i made called "don't think twice." >> seth: a fantastic film. >> oh thanks! it's about -- thanks.

"do you think lorne would be okay with that movie." and you go, "lorne is never going to see your movie." [ laughter ] >> seth: and that was not meant to be cruel in any way. >> it wasn't cruel. >> seth: yeah. >> it was exactly what i needed to hear. >> seth: yeah. there's a lot of things i've done, and lorne is the executive producer of this show that he has not seen. >> oh, i know. [ light laughter ] oh, i'm sure. >> seth: yeah, and but you haven't heard from him yet, right? you haven't heard from him about "don't think twice?" >> no, no. i think that would have been -- yeah, that would have been, like, a great thing if we got sued by "snl" in some ways. it would have been big publicity thing. >> seth: yeah, yeah. >> we're much --

we're very low -- we're a little under the radar, but, yeah, so i'm on this new tour that we ran into each other on the flight, and then the pod -- this podcast, by the way, is my own podcast. >> seth: so you -- when you were doing your -- when you put on your ear buds to tune me out, you were listening to yourself. >> yeah. yeah, i mean, it's got a lot of layers to it. >> seth: yeah. [ laughter ] >> i've heard it -- >> seth: so this is -- because your new show -- you're touring a show called "the new one." >> and i don't like to talk about it. like, in other words, you know how like your favorite movie is like -- my favorite movie this year are like "lady bird" and "the big sick" and "get out." and like, what i like to do it, to my friends i say, "see this movie, don't see a trailer don't see -- don't read a review." >> seth: right. >> and i think that's like a really great gift you can give somebody. and so i don't -- with my new show, i don't tell people anything about it. i just say, "if you like the old albums, the old ones, come see the new one." and so i have this five-episode, limited podcast. where i talk to like old friends, john mulaney, judd apatow, ira glass, about the old albums. >> seth: that's great. so --
