rollercoaster few days with our split personality president creating a bunch of problems ano then turning ad and claiming he solved those problems every day with this guy is like "fight club. one of these days we're going ta find him in the ing lot outside the white house beating thcrap out of himself. [ laughter ] one day he's threatening war withran, the next day he's claiming he stopped a war with iran one day he's threatening to deport millions and rip apart migrant families, the next day deportationshe it's almost like he saw the polls and instead of running agait the democrats in 2020, he decided to run against himself. [ laughter ] "vote for me i'm the only one who can stop nald trump!" [ laughter ] trump swings wildly from one position to the next because he has no moral compassv or a strategion. and that combination of ignorance and impulsivens has been on full display during his administration's march toward war with iran. now war with iran would be castrophic it would be reckless, unjustified and illegal. and yet, many of the people aroung trump have been agitati for a war with iran for years. trump, meanwhile, has repeatedly refused to divulge any details about what his administratn

might do >> mr. president, will you go to war with iran? >> i hope not. [ laughter ] >> -- comments on the 27th, will you take additional action >> i won't say what i'll do. >> mr. president, how will you respond? >> you'll find out >> are you willing to go to war with iran? >> you'll find out you'll find out. >> seth: what, we'll find out? [ laughter ] you're talking about a massive war that would destabilize the middle east. you can't talk about idalike you're hostingline." [ laughter ] "they weren't sure if they were but they'd soon find out."oh, [ laughter ] trump doesn't answer questions about his plans. because he has no plans. he waivers from one position to the next based on the la person he talked to or something he saw on tv if he watches sean hannity'so show, he wants t to war. if he watches tucker carlson's show, he wants to pull back. and if he watches qvc, he ends up buying a bunch of jewelry [ laughter ] and that reckless impulsivity was on full display last week when it was reported that trump had okayed aattack on iran and then changed his mind at the

last minute. >> "the new york times" reporting the president authorized milita strikes against iran, then called them off the "times" says the presidenty initiallproved attacks on a handful of iranian targets like radar and missile batteries. the "times" reports there were ships in position. there were planes in the air when the president walked the g whole thinback >> on monday, they shot down an unmanned drone flying inte international "we were cocked and loaded to retaliate last night on three different sites when i asked, how many will die? 150 people, sir, was the answer from a general ten minutes before the strike, i stopped it." >> seth: this tweet is trump in a nutshell he makes it genuinely difficult for you to focus on the fact that he almost started a disastrous and unconstitutional war with iran. because he used the wrg "sites" and used the phrase, "cocked and loaded." [ laughter ] it's "locked and loaded. "cocked and loaded" sounds like the name of a tom green movie where a guy takes a ad trip with a rooster [ laughter ] now, it's obviously a good thing

we did not go to war with iran but it's terrifying that it even got this far trump wants us all to praise hia for pullin from a catastrophic situation that he almost started praise he doesn't deserve as senator bernieanders argued on sunday >> was president trump's decision this week to call off that strike the right one >> see, it's like somebody setting a fire to a basket full of paper andhen putting it out. he helped create the crisis. and then he stopped the attacks. the idea that we're looking at a president of the united states who, number one, thinks that a war with iran is somethi that might be good for this country >> he was just doing a limited strike >> oh, just a limited strike oh well, i'm sorry. [ laughter ] i just didn't know that it's okay to simply attack another country with bombs just for limited -- that's an act of warfare. >> seth: he's right. d also, you got to love his old man sarcasm. [ laughter ]yo "what aralways doing on your phone?"

"i'm just sending an emoji, grandpa. "oh, just an emoji [ ughter ] you see, when i was growing up, the only emojis we had were our faces. so when our friends wanted to know h i was, they wouldn't look down there. they would look up here. and that's how they knew i was grumpy!" [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause and on top of everything else, trump's account of howhis episode unfolded makes no sense. ex-national security officials who have actually been in thesed kiof briefings said it was unlikely the president would find out at the last minute what the casualty count would be. >> is it plausible in any way ore president is first infd of casualty estimates that close to the actual commission of the strike >> no. the whole thing here is very -- is very strange. >> does that make sense? >> no. it's not credible in terms of he whether as briefed or not at that late time it's laid out right in the beginning. it's like the first powerpoint slide. >> seth: okay. well, see, there'sour problem. you can't give him information on a powerpoint slide.

when donald trump hears powerpoint, he slides out of the room "we'd like to start our powerpoint presentation. "powerpoint, good, good, good, okay, get that started [ laughter ] okay okay oh, okay [ applause ] oh." if you really, really want donald trump to pay attention to a briefing, you got to write it somewhere he's going to look like a mirror. [ laughter ] and listening to the president's incoherent explanation of how he made the decision is even more terrifying here's trumparrating his thought process and explaining how he was ready to order a military strike on iran until it occurred to him, at the lastto minute, sk what might seem like an important question >> we had something ready to go, subject to my approvalin and they came and they came in about a half an hour before. they said, "sir, we're about ready to go. i said, "i want a better." definition >> planes in the air were planes in the air >> no, no, we' about ready to go no, but they would have been pretty soon.

and things would have happened turn back or couldn't back.t so they came and they said, "sir, we're ready to go. we'd like a decision." i said, "i want know mething before you go. how many people will be killed?" in this case, iranians i said, "how many people are going to be killed?" "sir, i'd like to get back to you onhat. great people, these generals they said -- came back, said, "sir, approximately 150. and i thought about it for a second i said, you know what, they shot down an unmanned drone, plane, whatever you want to call it [ light laughter ] >> seth: no. whatever i want to call it i want to call it a goose. [ laughter ] "shoot down the goose, papa. y don't we all call it a drone since that's what it is? [ light laughter ] if it was a drone, then by definition, it was unmanned. there's no such thing as a manned drone yonever see a drone flying around with a dude hanging off of it. [ laughter ]

not only is this story of what happened in this particulacase incoherent, but so is trump's overall policy toward iran just listen to him today in the oval office announcing newti sancs on iran and talking about president obama's nuclear agreement with iran, an agreement trump tore udespite the fact that his own administration said iran was complying with it. >> they've done many other things aside from thendividual drone. you saw the tankers. and we know of other things that were done also which were not good igthe agreement that was sd was a disaster it was not doing what it was supposed to do many bad things were taking place. so i look forward to discussing whatever i have to discuss with anybody that wan to speak. >> seth: whoa, whoa, whoa. ] [ laughter slow down with all the specifics. [ laughter ] it's amazing to think there used to be a time when reporters covering the white house had to furiously scribble notes in their pads tkeep track of all the complicated details of treaties and legislation and now when they cover the y president, tst have to write stuff down like "things that were not good, bad things taking place, cocked and

loaded." [ laughter ] but the important question here is what is the end game? what does trump want does he want war does he want a new deal? if so, how would that new deal differ from the old deal and why would iran ever agree to a new deal after the last deal p ey negotiated was torn ur no reason? these are all important questions yet the president clearly has no answers >> mr. president, is your goal to negotiate a new deal with iran mr. president, is your goal to negotiate a new deal - >> we would love to be able to negotiate a deal if they want to if they don't want to, that's fine, too. >> seth: oh my god, man. next time just throw a smoke pellet and run away. [ laught ] in the past few days, we've see the president take uto the brink of war with iran, threater to inflict morlty on migrant families, all while being accused of a horrific sexual assault the question now is what more will it takeo impeach this guy? i don't know if he'll win a second term. but at this point, all i can say - >> i hope not. has been "a closer look." ♪ [ cheers and applause we'll be right back with olivia munn, everybody [ cheers and applause

>> seth: welcome to the showha >> thanks for ng me. >> seth: congrats on the special. i want to talk about how you -- you talk about your faith a lot in youand-up and your belief in god and i feel like we don't see that a ton from comedians. when y first start doing that, what washe reaction you were getting from audiences >> yeah, i remember the first time i openly talked about it. i think i was fasting actually and i had just ended it wasn ramadan. and i was onstage at a bar in brooklyn and starving kind of and talking about it and saying, "i bieve in god. and i just fasted ramadan. and i could just feel this energy from the crowd, like, "why are you here? >> seth: yeah. [ laughter ] >> shouldn't you be somewhere else >> seth: yeah, this does not seem like a good use of your timel >> doesn't fke the place to be at and it kind of felt like that way a few years ago. now it's kind of changing. i feel like people have kind of caught on and also islam andl. dieting trends have kind of caught up. >> seth: yeah. >> yeah. [ laughter ] 'cause there's kind of like intermittent fasng and stuff i was at a juice shop in l.a. during ramadan and i told the woman i was doing

ramadan. and she was like, "o t yeah, i'm doing its weekend. [ laughter ] she said it like it was coachella. she was like, "yeah, i'm going do the second weekend. [ laughter ] i don't know who's headlining.hi i was like, "i it's god. [ laughter ] we couldn't get beyonce. >> seth: you have a -- it's a really cool thing about your special is - because oftentimes in specials,e you don't -- tudience might not be lit or it might not cut to them a lot. you -- your audience is -- plays in the special and also it's very well lit. and you can see sort of how diverse an audience it is -- >> yeah. >> seth: a how you see women in headscarves and things you might not see elsewhere. do you -- do you enjoy having that audience? and was that a conscious choice of like, "hey, here's who comes to my shows? >> it was, "this who comes to my shows. >> seth: yeah. >> i mean, it -- i feel like i'll be at a, you know, a bar, wherever i am, a comedy club and it is half hipster and then half muslims and you can't tell if it's a muslim beard or hipster beard. >> seth: right [ laught ] >> and then there's women in headscarves. but i remember being at a comedy club once. and the chef came out sweating

and he was lik "man, your crowd eats a lot." and i was like, "well, yeah, because you got to get two things d and they't drink so this is one of those times that you find out how much muslims love mozzarella sticks." >> seth: right [ laughter ] >> "it's just our food of choice." and so it's really -- it was aly realonscious choice. you know, i talked about it with my director, chris, "can we light this place up? >> seth: right >> because who's watching is as important as what's being said >> seth: i want to talk about your fantastic show as well. because, you know, obviously there's been -- it's been talked about a lot. how there are not a lot of strong or diverse nuance muslim charters in television and film you've got this situation where you get to tell a story about an immigrant family and the characters are all very different. has that been a fun thing to be able to do >> it's been awesome i mean, it's been coolo bring nuance to a family like this, to see an arab-muslim family like that and when i first moved to l.a., that wasn't -- there was no roles like that.

you know, you hear it, you're li , "oh, man, did everything you auditioned for, was it a terrorist role?" and it was and i -- the sad part was it wasn't like i got them and a lot of people would be like, "i called my agent and said, 'i'm never auditioning for a terrorist.'" i would actually go on the audition and they just wouldn't believe me >> seth: yea [ laughter ] >> they'd be like, "yeah, you don't look like a -- no. and i'd be like, "no, no." and they'd like, "yeah, no, we don't believe it when you say, 'death to america. [ laughter ] like, your face, we just feel like you want america to live. and i'd be like, "no, i don't. [ laughter ] and so i kind of didn't get the opportunity to sell out my peopleso was like, "all right, i'll - [ laughter ] i'll make a nuanced show." >> seth: yeah. >> yeah. >> seth: and you obviously have immigrant parents. and that's a big part of this show as well how has the response been from a muslim audience, who has maybe seen this for the first time thanks to your show? >> it's been really cool i mean, it's tricky to sayie muslim aude, even muslim community. >> seth: of course >> because there are so many different --

>> seth: sure. >> muslim communities. think, who watch the sreally appreciate it. and then there are other, you know, south asian black muslim communities. most muslims in america are black. people don't know that i think they watch the show. and they're like, "what is this guy complaining about? we have a lot more going on. >> seth: right >> you know, and so for me, it was just really important to make something that felt honest to my experience and what i was doing and not try and take all of it on 'cause i think sometimes you watch. and it feels like there's you know, this box checking of, "well, we need to cover everything." and we really took the approach of, "no, let's do what we know.t >> seth: rig >> and you know, i know an arab-muslim family and let's not worry about it being like the fir because i think a lot of times when people say "first," what they're really trying to say it's the last. >> seth: right >> and so we were like, "no,e the going to be a lot of opportunities. we just want to tell this as honestly as we can." >> seth: yeah, i do apologize for phrasing it like that. because when you said, you know, "that's a hard question answer," i realize a lot of people are on the show and i'm never like, "and do white people like it?" [ laughter ] >> yeah. >> seth: "are you going wh get feedback from e people?" >> yeah. i got an email from this guy he was like, "i'm an evangelical

christian father of three. and i am ramy. >> seth: oh, wow, that's really good >> and i was like, "are you? [ laughter ] i didn't know if it was like an identity theft thing but he was - [ laughter ] no, he really related to just seeing someone, you know, look at faith in an aspirational way. >> seth: sure. >> i mean, i think there's a lot of knocks against re rightfully so. i think the industry of religion, the culture, is really polluted it can be dangerous. but we tk about just aspiring to faith in an honest way which is something that i hadn't seen from a character and we were really excited to exore that >> seth: that's wonderful. and i also want to ask about this because you hear it all the time, particularly in thes you know, heightened era we're living in now about the idea of moderate muslims y >>h. >> seth: and that you -- the offense you take when you hear that term. >> yeah. >> seth: can you explain that real quick >> yeah, no, we were talking -- it's a weird -- moderate muslim makes it seem like if you werell fumuslim, there'd be a problem. >> seth: right >> it's like, "well, no, he's only, like, 50% muslim, so -- so it's fine. and it does -- it kind of

negates the fact that you could be fully practicing and fully involved and that would make you a good person. i think people feel like muslims wake up. and we have this decision every day to bderate when we wake up and we're like, "isis or breakfast? [ laughter ] and we're constantly wrestling and it's like, "ah, he chose breakfast. wow. [ laughter ] like, what a moderate. you know, i mean, really just -- yeah so that -- yeah, it sounds -- the phrasing of it is a little odd. >> seth: well, hey, col.rats on the specia the show is fantastic. >> thanks man. >> seth: it's just been lovely talking to you again and getting a chance to meet you >> so >> seth: thanks for being here >> thank you [ cheers and applause >> seth: ramy youssef, everybody.
