Speaker 6: Trump. I'm Gonna come.
Speaker 5: Yesterday was a momentous day for the country, the ones
Speaker 5: disgraced president returning to office after four years, ready to
Speaker 5: enact terrible revenge against his political enemies. But first party time,
Speaker 5: and what a party it was. Donald Trump got dressed
Speaker 5: up in a tux to actually fit him for a change,
Speaker 5: and made his grand entrance in front of a Windows
Speaker 5: ninety five screensaver. They played YMCA, which is America's new
Speaker 5: national anthem. I guess while Donald Trump did the presidential
Speaker 5: jerkoff dance because that's not like a song that has
Speaker 5: its own extremely famous dance moves.
Speaker 1: Then they brought out a cake with.
Speaker 5: An airplane on it, which is the coolest thing any
Speaker 5: six year old boy can have.
Speaker 1: And wait, are they giving him an.
Speaker 5: Actual sword to cut the cake? Don't give him a
Speaker 5: don't give him a sword. Now he's dancing with the
Speaker 5: sword and it's just a bad idea.
Speaker 1: He really just swung that thing around.
Speaker 5: We were about three inches away from finding out whether
Speaker 5: Milania is cake.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 5: This was a long night of celebration, and he ended
Speaker 5: it by thanking everyone who was important to him, starting
Speaker 5: of course, with the person standing directly in front of him.
Speaker 2: I have a great family, I really do.
Speaker 6: I just look around.
Speaker 1: My son Eric has been so incredible.
Speaker 5: Okay, I thought you were gonna start with Milania, but
Speaker 5: I'm sure you'll get to her next.
Speaker 2: Then you have whereas May Evoka.
Speaker 7: Have you ever heard of Evaka?
Speaker 1: And Jared?
Speaker 5: Okay, you know what, he's saving the most important person
Speaker 5: Milania for last. We have different is here someplace and Michael,

Speaker 5: who the fuck is Chloe?
Speaker 1: His wife is standing right there.
Speaker 5: He's just making up new family members and she does
Speaker 5: not look happy. Okay, I don't know about the Panama Canal,
Speaker 5: but tonight the Slovenian Canal is closed. Lookay, it wasn't
Speaker 5: all potting and disrespecting his wife. Okay, he also did
Speaker 5: some work, like actually a lot of work.
Speaker 1: Yesterday.
Speaker 5: That dude signed over one hundred executive actions. I mean,
Speaker 5: look at them. He froze the federal hiring bills. Something
Speaker 5: about genders. Dan he said, Cuba's a state sponsored terrorist.
Speaker 5: Now he renamed the mountain dishwashers are less efficient. Well,
Speaker 5: you can do that. Look heah, so many executive actions.
Speaker 5: They have to like scroll through the tracks like it
Speaker 5: was an ad for now.
Speaker 1: That's what I call maga.
Speaker 5: And being the show man that he was, Trump wasn't
Speaker 5: going to sign these behind the desk of a pen
Speaker 5: and paper like a nerd. Okay, No, he turned this
Speaker 5: into an arena show at.
Speaker 8: Capitol One Arena in front of a crowd of supporters,
Speaker 8: Trump putting into motion his Day one actions.
Speaker 5: After President Trump signed the executive orders at a desk
Speaker 5: that was placed on stage, he had a pile of pins.
Speaker 1: Well, President Trump decided to toss the pins to some
Speaker 1: of his supporters.
Speaker 5: Wow, whoever caught that pen is so lucky I mean,
Speaker 5: that is going to be such a cool thing for
Speaker 5: those guys to show their kids once they get their
Speaker 5: visitation rights back. And even after, even after he got
Speaker 5: back to the White House, he just kept signing. I mean,
Speaker 5: this this guy was so in the zone. He didn't
Speaker 5: even know what you were signing with.
Speaker 9: Was withdrawing from the World Health organizations?
Speaker 5: Oh oh, he's withdrawing from the World Health Organization like
Speaker 5: he's hearing the dessert options. No, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll
Speaker 5: have the terremi, sue and potential measles outbreak with that,
Speaker 5: you know. I mean, if you could put anything in
Speaker 5: front of him yesterday, he would have signed it.
Speaker 4: Milania.
Speaker 1: Now it's a chance to opt it, the prenup. Go go,
Speaker 1: go go. But you know, but you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to be shitting on President Trump.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, sure he pulled out of the Who who
Speaker 5: are those guys? What what are the odds that's ever
Speaker 5: going to be a pandemic requiring global cooperation? So I'm
Speaker 5: going to go to President Trump as an open mind.
Speaker 5: You know, he won the election, which means he's a
Speaker 5: great guy. Who's right, So I'm sure.
Speaker 1: His executive orders are reasonable.
Speaker 3: Trump pulled the US out of the Paris Climate Accords.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, look he I know that sounds bad for
Speaker 5: these woke liberals, but like does it really matter. You know,
Speaker 5: one year in next year, one out that would have been
Speaker 5: doing the hokey pokey these guys like twelve years.
Speaker 1: They didn't even put us in a group chat anymore.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 5: Also, newsflash, Paris a quote, Yo, we're not going to
Speaker 5: reach the mission goals anyway.
Speaker 1: Okay, this world is over.
Speaker 5: Such an excuse to go to Paris, which overrated. Okay,
Speaker 5: so fine, he's taking us out of anything that involves
Speaker 5: the rest of the world. Okay, I'm sure there's other
Speaker 5: executive orders that aren't any words.
Speaker 10: Among the many executive orders President Trump signed on Monday
Speaker 10: was this one pausing the TikTok band for seventy five days.
Speaker 10: He says the United States should broker a deal to
Speaker 10: own half of the platform.
Speaker 6: I think the.
Speaker 1: US should be entitled to get half of TikTok.
Speaker 11: And congratulations TikTok as a good partner.
Speaker 1: Say yo.
Speaker 5: He brought back TikTok just as my brain was regaining
Speaker 5: its higher order functions.
Speaker 1: I mean, oh my god, that was close. Now.
Speaker 5: If you remember, TikTok was originally banned because everyone thinks
Speaker 5: it gives China too much influence over Americans. And to
Speaker 5: be fair, before I started using TikTok, I was a
Speaker 5: white guy from Iowa. Okay. But the point, the point
Speaker 5: is the people have spoken, Okay, we want China to
Speaker 5: change our brains. What absolute idiot even thought of banning
Speaker 5: it in the first place.
Speaker 2: We're looking at TikTok. We may be banning TikTok.
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, thank you President Trump for saving us from
Speaker 5: that guy. What I'm saying is all these executive orders
Speaker 5: on bad Okay, I mean, what else is he doing?
Speaker 3: And Trump is going to trump it's an executive order
Speaker 3: to end their right citizenship. It's a constitutional right that
Speaker 3: those born on American soil or US citizens, regardless of
Speaker 3: their parents immigration status.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, that does sound like a me change, but
Speaker 5: right citizenship has been in the Constitution of over one
Speaker 5: hundred years. But on the other hand, should you just
Speaker 5: be a US citizen just because you were born here?
Speaker 5: I mean, I think all citizens should have to prove
Speaker 5: that they're truly American by taking a quiz on American history.
Speaker 1: And failing it that.
Speaker 5: If your score, if your score is above sixty, you're
Speaker 5: going back to as y'all whatever shithole country as educational standards.
Speaker 5: And to be fair, nothing too extreme so far. I mean,
Speaker 5: it sounds like there's a campaign Trump that says things
Speaker 5: to win, and then there's a President Trump who rules
Speaker 5: more moderately.
Speaker 12: Overnight, with the stroke of a pen, President Trump issuing
Speaker 12: sweeping pardons to nearly all of the rioters charged for
Speaker 12: their actions on January.
Speaker 1: Sixth, So this is January sixth.
Speaker 12: Trump even granting clemency to the more than six hundred
Speaker 12: people charged with assaulting or resisting law enforcement.
Speaker 5: Okay, Look, freeing violent criminals from prison seems less moderate
Speaker 5: and more like something Bain did. Okay, but you know what,
Speaker 5: if you know your history in that situation, Batman fixed it. Okay,
Speaker 5: So concerns over blown. And look, these guys have been
Speaker 5: in prison for like two whole months already.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm sure they've learned that.
Speaker 13: Lesson Jacob Chancelly, we know him as also the QAnon Shaman.
Speaker 13: He put out something on social media where he said,
Speaker 13: I got a pardon baby, thank you, President Trump. Now
Speaker 13: I'm gonna buy some mother fn guns.
Speaker 1: See he learned his lesson.
Speaker 5: For more on the J six pardons, we go live
Speaker 5: the senior legal correspondent Josh Johnson. Josh, Josh, Josh, where
Speaker 5: the hell are you?
Speaker 8: I'm going to bank, you silly goose. Everyone get all
Speaker 8: the brown I'm quiet.
Speaker 1: Josh, Josh. Are you robbing a bank? Of course not.
Speaker 1: This is a bank robbery. Get on the floor.
Speaker 5: Okay, it definitely looks like you're robbing a bank.
Speaker 8: Sure, it looks like I'm robbing a bank because I'm
Speaker 8: in a bank, holding a gun.
Speaker 4: Demanding money from tellers who are crying, and.
Speaker 8: We'll see what happens if they do not come up
Speaker 8: out of this money. All right, But I'm wearing a
Speaker 8: maga hat, and as the JA six parton's clearly established,
Speaker 8: you can't be wearing a maga hat and doing a
Speaker 8: crime at the same time.
Speaker 5: Okay, waity, How does the hat change the fact that
Speaker 5: you have a gun aimed at people's heads without the hat,
Speaker 5: I'm robbing a bank with the hat, I'm peacefully protesting
Speaker 5: a rigged financial system.
Speaker 1: Sondra, I've been very clear. I want the lollipops too,
Speaker 1: the great once.
Speaker 8: Okay, Sorry, Ronnie Multicast, Josh Hat or no hat, the police,
Speaker 8: I'm gonna you, and if they do, I'm a political hostage,
Speaker 8: much like these people who I'm currently holding hostage.
Speaker 1: All right, Sondra, the little pans with the chain, all
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 6: In the bag.
Speaker 1: How many times do I have to tell you? Okay,
Speaker 1: oh my god, Josh, did your gun just go off?
Speaker 8: That was my bad? I mean, these triggers are so thanky,
Speaker 8: you just touch them and they go off.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I think you're in big trouble now.
Speaker 4: I mean I.
Speaker 1: Would be if I didn't have a second hat.
Speaker 5: Okay, look say some of those hous for me, Josh Johnson,
Speaker 5: everybody was.
Speaker 6: When we come back.
Speaker 1: Jordan Klepper went to an inauguration zone.
Speaker 14: Go away, look about her guardy shot.
Speaker 5: Don Trump was inaugurate yesterday and where Donald Trump goes
Speaker 5: John and Klipper is not far behind.
Speaker 1: And another edition of Fingers the Pulse.
Speaker 11: The trop coronation was a weekend full of the usual
Speaker 11: pump and circumstance, and strangely, a victory rally celebration the
Speaker 11: day before the actual celebration celebration. So I added to
Speaker 11: our nation's frozen Capital to witness the festivities.
Speaker 1: The golden Age of America has arrived. Not only are

Speaker 6: just wipe the slate clean. You do that with like
Speaker 6: don't dance moves or something.
Speaker 2: No, we do that with crypton Ai.
Speaker 11: But it wasn't all fun and games. Troupe was elected
Speaker 11: to deal with serious issues.
Speaker 7: But I think the top of America is a good
Speaker 7: idea of good name jess.

Speaker 6: that's horseshit. Yeah.
Speaker 9: People are coming out in support of more nationalists governments

Speaker 11: Ye who have they grabbed a little Snickers bar or
Speaker 11: a total of them American democracy and walked out the door.
Speaker 6: Huh? This guy should get a gun outside the capitol?

Speaker 6: I know a different situation there.
Speaker 4: Old fashioned.
Speaker 11: This guy with a gun shooting the gun outside the capitol.
Speaker 1: The most definitely he should not be parted.
Speaker 2: And there are two point one million people there.
Speaker 1: They didn't all storm the capitol. None of them were armed,
Speaker 1: well some were armed.
Speaker 11: This guy, this guy with a gun outside the capitol
Speaker 11: said he a partner.
Speaker 1: Did he shoot the gun? Is that a real gun
Speaker 1: or was that a fake gun?
Speaker 6: He shot the gun up in the air.
Speaker 11: Yes, yes he should because.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he should be. Pardon what because I
Speaker 4: don't think he should be.
Speaker 1: Uh, I don't think he's I think he should.

Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 6: I have not seen that any of these images, some
Speaker 6: of them, but not these really maybe the ones.
Speaker 1: Maybe the media that I'm following is not all, is
Speaker 1: not showing these what what we could.
Speaker 6: Be could be? What one media? The powers old conservatives?
Speaker 6: Did you watch Conjenuary six hearings?
Speaker 5: No? I didn't know.
Speaker 6: Okay, so this is new So that's my fault. I
Speaker 6: should have been better informed.
Speaker 11: Yes, I will say that's a refreshing thing to hear.
Speaker 11: In the end, it didn't matter because Trump just part
Speaker 11: of this guy and fifteen hundred of his friends.
Speaker 6: But this weekend is about joy. One thing you're most
Speaker 6: excited about seeing today Donald Trump at five o'clock. That's it.
Speaker 1: Garbage truck.
Speaker 7: Okay, the truck.
Speaker 3: Yes, this garbage truck, the mag of garbage truck that
Speaker 3: went viral during the campaign, who reportedly hit the streets
Speaker 3: during the inauguration day per hey, and.
Speaker 11: These full grown adults who voted for the president were
Speaker 11: really really pumped the garbage truck.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 11: No, I didn't know that the garbage truck is here.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I did hear that. I did hear it
Speaker 6: was common. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about about. The
Speaker 6: garbage truck is here.
Speaker 1: Have you heard about that?
Speaker 5: No, the one that Trump's sat in.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 11: People were hyped to celebrate a new chapter in America,
Speaker 11: but as Inauguration Day arrived, there was a wrinkle.
Speaker 4: The ceremonies have been moved inside.
Speaker 11: And it meant thousands of MAGA faithful were left to
Speaker 11: aimlessly wonder the empty National Mall, sparsely attended as of No.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little calm.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm kind of surprised that how small the crowd is.
Speaker 6: Is that disappointing?
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, because I would have liked to have seen
Speaker 1: a little bit more.
Speaker 6: And I think it's kind of the perfect metaphor.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, I guess so heathn Side hanging out with
Speaker 11: a billionaire as well.
Speaker 6: All his supporters are outside in the cold. Yeah, but
Speaker 6: I think that MAGA is a tough crowd anyway. They're
Speaker 6: prepared to be left in the cold.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Expectation has definitely changed.
Speaker 7: We had planned on being here. We were really excited
Speaker 7: for the parade.
Speaker 6: Have you thought of trying to get inside the rotenda?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 1: Not really.
Speaker 7: I feel like that one's gonna be a little tough
Speaker 7: for us today.
Speaker 11: Really for you guys, I mean, judge by your climb
Speaker 11: the walls, or judge judge by your outfit.
Speaker 6: Take you just a break a window?
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean I personally probably wouldn't break a window.
Speaker 7: That would really hurt my hand, especially in the cold.
Speaker 6: It was the vibe likes here right now, very relaxed.
Speaker 6: It is relaxed, somber almost. I mean, what died the
Speaker 6: free Press.
Speaker 4: I don't think anything died.
Speaker 1: I think we're I think we're all just kind of relaxed.
Speaker 11: I'm sorry, turn around slowly, slowly, don't spook it is
Speaker 11: that is?
Speaker 15: That?
Speaker 6: Is that the garbage truck?
Speaker 11: I don't know I've got something, and I think it's
Speaker 11: gonna break.
Speaker 6: A smell of your faces. Really, you know what's gonna
Speaker 6: be here today? What the garbage truck?
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, we can't leave, we can't go home.

Speaker 15: you know what I'm saying. It's like shapes, you know
Speaker 15: what I mean, just like abstractions. Yeah, it's weird, it
Speaker 15: is weird, but it's also you know what it is
Speaker 15: actually what I think about it. I mean there's like
Speaker 15: clowning involved to where people do like mask work or
Speaker 15: like clowning work. It's it's just like big art space.
Speaker 15: Actually it's not like things are maybe not as mainstream.
Speaker 15: But I actually think the thing that Experimental.
Speaker 7: Theater gave me was permission.
Speaker 15: To be like a full artist and be like fearless.
Speaker 15: And I think, you know, when we were first starting out,
Speaker 15: I just like that space was not available in a
Speaker 15: mainstream way for me.
Speaker 5: Oh for you yeah, what was not available like.
Speaker 15: The well, there was no joy ride, there was no
Speaker 15: everything everywhere you know, there was like you mean sixteen candles.
Speaker 5: You know, you mean, look, there's no look, there's no jobs,
Speaker 5: there's no.
Speaker 6: Look of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So you mean you went to experimental theater because
Speaker 5: you couldn't get a job, or because you wanted to
Speaker 5: do it.
Speaker 15: I think because I wanted to like fully do what
Speaker 15: I was capable of doing.
Speaker 5: Right, pure honest in that way, that's what it was.
Speaker 5: Surprised when my first menu, I was like, Oh, she's
Speaker 5: like a legitimate actor like artists like for me, I
Speaker 5: like I tell dick jokes in bobs.
Speaker 7: That's an art form too.
Speaker 1: It is, but it's not like it's art. It's not
Speaker 1: really odd.
Speaker 5: It's like I'm like this close, I'm like just whipping
Speaker 5: my dick out.
Speaker 1: I mean, like I'm in a bod. Yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: it is. I guess it is. I guess I guess
Speaker 1: bad stand up comedy is experimental.
Speaker 15: Theater in a way, honestly, I did. I did do comedy.
Speaker 15: I was like in the sketch world, and the reason
Speaker 15: why I decided to not continue down that path.
Speaker 7: Was because the hours are so crazy. You have to
Speaker 7: stay awake so late.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like she.
Speaker 7: At an early age, I was like, how does one
Speaker 7: start at midnight.
Speaker 4: Like, how is mentally ill because we're starting late?
Speaker 5: And then we'll just not sleeping and then we'll just
Speaker 5: and then and then did you consciously get out of
Speaker 5: experimental theater because you are like I'm done with it,
Speaker 5: or like I'm it's time to get a real job.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 15: I actually there was a there was a casting director
Speaker 15: who like sort of discovered me and put me into
Speaker 15: a table read of the first ever potential maybe one
Speaker 15: day this will be SpongeBob Musical on Broadway.
Speaker 7: SpongeBob the Musical on Broadway.
Speaker 15: So it was like when they were first developing it
Speaker 15: and they just needed extra like honestly non equity actors because.
Speaker 7: I was not in the union.
Speaker 15: They needed to hire some extra people to do funny voices.
Speaker 4: Gage.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I was scabbing and then and I stuck with
Speaker 15: that for like five years. It was just this two
Speaker 15: hour table read in the Viacom building, and they kept
Speaker 15: asking me back and that sort of helped me transition
Speaker 15: into doing theater sort of full time.
Speaker 4: Oh so it wasn't even it wasn't mounted. It was
Speaker 4: just the table read for five years.
Speaker 15: Yeah, Well, we did like a table read and then
Speaker 15: we developing shops developing.
Speaker 5: But it wasn't even stage. You were just developing it
Speaker 5: for like five years.
Speaker 15: Then in the last few years we did like out
Speaker 15: of town blah blah blah, and then got a call
Speaker 15: one day that was like, we're going to Broadway, do
Speaker 15: you want to come?
Speaker 7: And I was like, okay, yeah, So it was kind
Speaker 7: of it wasn't.
Speaker 15: Ever like a conscious choice to leave experimental.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Look, we all have different paths. But what's interesting about that.
Speaker 5: I'm always like, I'm always interested in the people who
Speaker 5: just like pursue passions without thought of money. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 5: because I feel like you want, even you're doing experimental theater,
Speaker 5: like you definitely want trying to get famous.
Speaker 7: Yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: You were just like trying to get like these shapes
Speaker 1: out of your body.
Speaker 5: I was trying to get the shape, trying to get
Speaker 5: the shaped out, and then dude, you got enough shapes
Speaker 5: out that you got nominated for an Oscar.
Speaker 1: I know, it was crazy. It was so crazy.
Speaker 5: You're yeah, so like when you're how was the Oscar
Speaker 5: for those of us who were never.
Speaker 1: Like, what, what was it?
Speaker 5: Like? I, as a show business professional, there's the art
Speaker 5: and then there's the business side. So when I watch
Speaker 5: people like who are up for Oscars, the business side
Speaker 5: of me knows the show side of me admires the artists,
Speaker 5: and the business side of me is like, Oh, they're
Speaker 5: going to do a law of campaigning. It's gonna be
Speaker 5: like a presidential campaign. Did you Did you feel that
Speaker 5: way when you were up for the Oscars?
Speaker 15: And well, honestly, you know, it was like because we
Speaker 15: got to do it together with Michelle Key and the Daniels,
Speaker 15: with Jamie, like it felt like a bunch of friends
Speaker 15: being like, we're going to stand in this light together.
Speaker 15: But also before I decided to do Late, before I
Speaker 15: decided to do Late, you to know my pilot, I.
Speaker 7: Allegedly turned on your pilot.
Speaker 15: Oops, and or I didn't see it. I'm really bad
Speaker 15: at texting and email.
Speaker 5: If I was coming off of Oscar nomination, I wouldn't
Speaker 5: do a pilot either. So, by the way, I don't
Speaker 5: even know. I'm just joking and blaming you for it,
Speaker 5: but I actually.
Speaker 15: Don't feel like I saw it.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 15: So I ran into Ali Wong on the airplane before
Speaker 15: I signed on too laid, and she was on her
Speaker 15: way to the Gotham Awards for her performance in Beef,
Speaker 15: and she was like, it was the first award of
Speaker 15: award season and she was like, what is like award season,
Speaker 15: Like like I don't know. I feel like like I
Speaker 15: don't want to stand in the light, you know. And
Speaker 15: I was like, you were amazing, and you deserve to
Speaker 15: like stand and own all the effort that you've put
Speaker 15: in for all these years to get to where you are.
Speaker 7: And and she won, and she won.
Speaker 15: But then also then at the tail end of that
Speaker 15: conversation we like talked about ort season. Then I was like,
Speaker 15: I was like, hey, have you ever heard of like you?

Speaker 5: It was like I always ask you about about your
Speaker 5: oscar experience, then you you turned it into talking about
