  Speaker 3: To interview a couple of our White House correspondents, Peter Doocy,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Jackie Heinrich, and I may or may not have an
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: audience with the President later in the day, depending on
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: how a schedule looks.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: So this is the comp before the storm.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Man, I just got to get my act together.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: And as long as I can get my cocaine out
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: of the White.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: House, balkers, it's the windows. Well.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: President Trump has, he's quite an ear to the ground.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: He'll know you're in the building. If he knows you're
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: in the building, he'll come find you because he's a
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: big fan of yours.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Fun So it would be cool.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I guarantee by the end of the day you'll be
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: in a conversation with him.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: So I will keep you posted. Man, you never know
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: this White.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: House Correspondent's dinner. President, by the way, is one of
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: the great greatest roaster ever in politics. He's done a
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: million Friars Club roast, a dozen Comedy Central roasts. He's
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: an incredible roaster at the Al Smith and he's gonna
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: let these fake news people have it Saturday night. What
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: do you think they're going to do to respond?
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: That's what I think is going to be interesting because
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: there's going to be half the room will be there
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: to protest and the other half I think will get it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Meaning this is an opportunity for a Kumbai moment. But
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know that Trump wants one.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: That's my that's my that's my concern.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: You know, Trump and the you know the media have
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: this Hatfield McCoy thing going on, and I think he
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: kind of enjoys that.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: So my expectation for real is that.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: He probably is working with some comedy writers and they're
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: probably gonna go on offense. I would expect him to
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: go on offense. Hopefully he self deprecates just enough that
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: the media can you know, bear being the subject of
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: a joke, which is hard for a lot of those egos.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: But it's a spectacle like I'll be there, not I'm
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: like I will be on the red carpet nine to midnight.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I'll be inside the dinner watching the whole thing, like
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: I want a heckle man. It's gonna be really lively,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: And I think my only concern is the guy asked for.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Trump is the mentalist.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: You know what was the mentalist?
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Oh? Was Pearlman? Yeah, oz, Yeah, that's right. He's a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: brilliant guy. Okay.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: My concern is he's gonna guess the nuclear codes get
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: us in trouble. So I got to keep that guy
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: in check and see where the Trump thing goes.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I don't understand. See like you on stage,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: you still tour all over the country. Unbelievable on stage, energy,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: loud volume, you like, fill the room. How's a mentalist
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: with a deck of cards? How do you play that?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Three thousand people in a ballroom?
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Tricks a lot of the same questions you have. You know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: you're used to like the high octane thing. But I've
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: had him on my TV show a few times. He
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: is a very charismatic guy. And because he knows where
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: the trick is going, you know, he kind of in
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: his head has a lot of room to tell you
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: jokes along the way because he's kind of leading the
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: witness through his little narrative. So I would actually expect
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: him to do better then if I was there two
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: years ago. They had Colin jokes from Saturday Night Live.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: He just bombed like it was tough man. Not only
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: did he like it not work.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: But he you know, he was He accepted the fact
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: that it wasn't working early on and never tried to
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: turn it around. Meaning as comedians, if you jokes aren't
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: going over, you start to make jokes about how your
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: jokes aren't working. You know, that's your way to get
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: the thing back on track and turn it into a win.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: And he didn't do that.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: He just shouted the jokes into the night sky.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: They fell flat. He'd make a smirk and he'd move on.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: And I would expect, oh is I'm not kidding, to
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: do better than most comics, just because his approach is
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: a little broader, Like he's not going to be telling
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: jokes based on the results of the Virginia special election
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: on Tuesday night.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: WHI help with the audience?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, I know you guys don't like people looking
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: under the hood, But explain some technique here, like like
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Joe still come out and he's a little quiet, but
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: real comediansyug you another careal comman, you know how to
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: come out and boom. Just take charge of the room.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: It's about volume, it's about movement. Explain that a little.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Well, this is the truth.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: In comedy, people always say, you know you hear the
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: phrase read the room used a lot in politics, but
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: in comedy you have to you have to lead the room.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: You have to lead the room. Like and if everybody
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: listening things back to like a Rodney Dangerfield, you know,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: when they shoot him out of a cannon. He absolutely
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: positively came out there and led the room, told his jokes,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: bounced around the stage, made some faces, reacted to the crowd.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: He was very much in command.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: That is the key to being a successful comic is
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: you have.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: To be in command of the room.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: So if you think about it like you're an air
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: force you know, you're an airline pilot.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: The pilot doesn't read the room. He doesn't say, if
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: it's okay with you, we're.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Third in line. We're gonna go up to thirty seven
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: thousand feet. He says, no, we're third, taking off.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Put your seabelts on, shut up, thank you.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: B line delta that whole thing.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what you gotta do.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: You got to lead the room. You got to be
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: in control.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know you're worried about being nervous, but you
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: don't want to make the audience nervous. You got to
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: come out there like you're in charge. Don't worry, You're
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: in good hands. I can take care of this.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: And yeah.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: So yeah, because the other thing is, man, you're selling fun.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: You're selling them a good time. So if you're having
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: a good time, it's a lot easier for them to
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: have one with you. That's why the other late night
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: comics and even Colin Joe's didn't do good at that roast.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: It's because they don't look like they're there in the
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: name of fun. You know, if you show up to
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: a comedy show and the guy's scowling, you're not going like, Okay,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: get ready for some fun, everybody.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Now, you do the best.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: That's the big challenge.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you do you do the best late night show
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: on television Saturday nights at ten, you watch Kimmel or
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Colbert come out, they look like they're going to commit
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: suicide later that night. They look so angry and bitter.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: No, it's like, I haven't seen a group of people
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: that upset since Mondani hugged the mess mascot. You know,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: it's like put them on a twelve game losing streak.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: But you're right, and they don't. And that's the point.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: That drives me crazy as a TV host is we
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: have the most unique jobs in the world when it
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: comes to late night comedy. There's not a loot of
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: them out there. If you're lucky enough to have one.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I think you owe a debt to everyone who did
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: this before us to kind of do it in that
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: traditional style. I don't mean you can't come up with
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: your own scance of.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Your own jokes. Obviously you should, but in terms.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Of the intent of the programming, it should be there
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: to bargain with the viewer in good faith, not to
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: tell them fascists are about to take away our elections
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: and women don't have rights. You know, it's just a
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: buz till you know when you watch those concerts where
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: they start lecturing you about climate change halfway through and
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: you're like, dude, shut up. We were dancing. I was
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: trying to get this girl's phone number, and now you
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: just told me the O Zone's gonna kill us all.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Thanks way to go, Springsteen.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's fifty years later in the Ozone s
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and coused the problem. But the White House, Chris Spines
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Dinner is Saturday night. You'll be hosting nine to midnight
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: this week. That'll be great. And then and you know
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: they got all these parties every night. You're going to
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: any of those?
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, man, we'll make the round tonight and tomorrow. What's
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: interesting about these is you see all the other TV
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: hosts there from the other network, So it's like.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Kind of a chance to mix, you know, mix friends
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Not that they're all very friendly, but
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I get a kick.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: I get a kick out of going to these things.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: And I get in easy because I dress like a waiter,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: so they let me into just about everything and I.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Meet everybody, Like I'll have some real good intel for
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you the next time we're on next week.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not the greatest party because if you really
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: want to have fun, you don't want to be in
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: a room with Jen Saki and Rachel Maddout. I mean,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: this is not the most.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Life that's funny. Yeah, No, I know. The worst was
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: last year when Karine John Pierre was there.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: The waiter asked her what she was having and she
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: had to go through a bar to come up with
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: an answer. It's like, come on, man, let's answer the question.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Hey, they keep talking about President Trump. Look at US
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: approval ratings. Look at us You know, they never mentioned
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: on any of these shows, all these same polls, Democrats
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: in Congress are at the lowest approval rating anything in
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: the world has ever been at. Isn't that amazing?
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny how that works because they always say, yeah,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: these guys at forty But if they're at thirteen percent,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: the headline should be Trump leads the Democrats by a lot.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: That should be the headline.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: It should not be look at Trump's numbers. It should
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: be Wow, he's way in the lead. That's why I
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: think they have a better.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Shot in the midterms than anyone's letting on. Yeah.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Now, the most interesting news is the news they never report,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: like they take that the Southern Poverty Law Center story.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and what a stupid name, the Southern Poverty
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Law Center. What does it even mean?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I know, it's crazy. So what they do is, as
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: you know, and your audience probably knows by.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Now, they are post to track the incidents of eight
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: and white supremacy, and then they fundraise off of that.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: They go, oh, look at all these racists. You gotta
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: give us some money so we can go get to
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: the bottom of this and alert the media and.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: All these racists.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: And of course they didn't have a lot to report on,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: so they started staging events and this.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Is the criminal indictment. As you know.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: They were hiring groups like the klu Klux Klan and saying, hey,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: how about you throw a rally and then we can
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: report on this crazy clan rally and then people will
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: give us money. And if you look in twenty seventeen,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: the net worth or whatever the.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Money they have banked anyway went.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Up how many hundreds of a percent three hundred and.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Twenty one or something? Crazy?
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bananas, wow.
