[ cheers ] you guys didn't know i can dance because my legs are behind this desk, but i'm always practicing. watch. [ laughter ] i just did a cross step into a helicopter into a coin drop. that's why they call me lil desk, aka, d-boy. [ laughter ] anyway the point is i haven't paid attention to the news for three weeks, so i'm just going to read off the cue cards real quick to catch up on what i missed. let's see here -- joe biden dropped out of the presidential race. oh, wow. he endorsed vice president kamala harris. cool, cool. harris secured enough delegates, becoming the democratic nominee. biden got covid. trump claimed biden never had covid and it was just a ruse to drop out of the race. republicans complained that harris tried to ban plastic straws and tried to call her a d.e.i. hire. trumped called her laughing
12:42 am
kamala, then lying kamala, then, kama-blah. republicans call her the boarder czar, even though she wasn't and that wasn't a thing. trump said he might bomb mexico. j.d. vance became the first v.p. in decades to have a net negative favorability rating after he called democrats childless cat ladies, got slammed by jennifer aniston and was accused of [ bleep ] a couch, which he did not do. [ laughter ] apparently, it was just hand stuff. vance said democrats would call him racist for drinking diet mountain dew. vance wrote the forward to a book by the project 2025 guy while claiming he had nothing to do with project 2025. tim walz called republicans weird and said it's brat summer. trump responded by calling hannibal lecter a lovely man.

[ laughter ] trump had a humiliating meltdown at the national association of black journalists, where he attacked the moderator, got laughed at by the audience, and claimed, among other things, that harris happened to turn black, which is both racist and insane. [ laughter ] trump said v.p. candidates don't matter after everyone made fun of his v.p. candidate, congratulated vladimir putin on a prisoner swap that secured the release of american hostages. the washington post reported that trump was investigated for allegedly taking $10 million from egypt until it was shut down by his attorney general. harris picked tim walz as a running mate. walz joked about vance [ bleep ] a couch, which he did not do. [ laughter ] everything was over cushion. republicans called walz "tampon tim," tried to swift vote him with lies about his record and said he is the bernie sanders of congress even though there is a bernie sanders in congress famously named bernie sanders. vance held a rally where the stage was so shoddy, it looked like he was campaigning for kamala. trump held a deranged press conference where he invented a new theme park called
12:44 am
"transgender world" and claimed his crowd on january 6th was bigger than martin luther king's "i have a dream" speech. he told a story about being in a helicopter that almost crashed with former san francisco mayor willy brown. then brown said that never happened. then it turned out trump was confusing brown with someone else. the trump campaign got hacked. harris overtook trump in the polls. the new york times called it the worst three weeks of trump's campaign. trump slinked back to twitter for an interview with elon musk. he descended further into madness by claiming that kamala's crowd in detroit was a.i. and that the people at the rally didn't actually exist. and on top of all that, a french pole vaulter knocked over the cross bar -- [ laughter and applause ] -- with his giant dong.

harris and walz are fresh off two huge rallies in wisconsin and michigan, where they received an energetic welcome from a massive ruckus crowd. >> vice president kamala harris now leading in the critical blue wall states by a sizable margin. >> j.d. vance is the first vice presidential pick to have a net negative favorable rating immediately after that party's convention. >> well -- [ crowd chanting ] >> they're accusing j.d. vance of having sex with a couch. >> the worst three weeks of donald trump's campaign. >> if brat summer were back. >> seth: we missed -- [ cheers and applause ] we missed all of that. three weeks, we missed all of that. when i left this desk three weeks ago, suffice to say the vibes were brutal. the election felt like a funeral dirge. trump was leading in national polls and seemed like he was coasting to victory. fast forward to today, harris is now leading in the polls, including new ones out from
12:47 am
three key swing stages, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin. if you told democrats three weeks ago they'd be up four points in those three states before the end of august, they'd be twerking like a canadian pole vaulter. [ laughter and cheers ] by the way, was also awesome. and on top of all that, massive crowds are now waiting in lines to see harris and walz, mobbing her plane, and literally swag surfing at her rallies. true story, that crowd won the bronze in olympic break dancing. look, we have one day. we have one day to empty the chamber on olympic jokes. okay, we'll be done. the new york times wrote a blockbuster piece on the collapse of trump's campaign and the rolling meltdown he's been having over the wild swing in his fortunes. >> new reporting in the new york times into the chaos behind the scenes in what the newspaper describes as the worst three weeks of donald trump's campaign. >> apparently the new york times reported that there was private polling in ohio that showed that it was really, really close there. >> seth: holy [ bleep ], he's floundering in ohio where j.d. vance is a senator. next we're gonna find out he's losing to kamala among voters who live at mar-a-lago. [ laughter ] trump's not used to this. someone else is getting more
12:48 am
attention, so he's reacting the way a dog reacts to a new baby in the family. "i'm calling a press conference to announce that i've urinated on the couch." [ laughter ] to which j.d. vance would say, "hey, dude, not cool. i have to have sex with that." [ laughter ] guys, let me make -- [ applause ] let me make something clear. j.d. vance did not have sex with a couch. [ laughter ] okay? get your mind out of the gutter. or as j.d. vance's grandma used to say, "get your wang out of the cushions." [ laughter and appluase ] the attention the harris campaign is receiving is clearly driving trump out of his mind. he's posting on social media at weird hours like a rabid animal locked in a psych ward. here's what he had to say about the massive crowd that greeted harris' plane in detroit last week. >> he said on truth social, "has
12:49 am
anyone noticed kamala cheated at the airport. there was no one at the plane, but she a.i.'d it and showed a massive crowd of so-called followers, but they didn't exist." the president -- former president goes on to say, "she's a cheater. she had nobody waiting. and the crowd looked like 10,000 people." >> seth: first of all, i guarantee trump has no idea what a.i. stands for. he probably thinks it's a steak sauce. "she a1'd the crowd." [ laughter ] "she gave out free bottles of steak sauce to people on the street to get them to come -- that's why i was there." [ laughter ] "i was wearing a kamala t-shirt and camo hat." [ cheers and applause ] also, you know there were witnesses there, right? you can't just claim an entire event was fake and get zero pushback from the people who saw it with their own eyes. for example, if someone said the audience at my show was fake, we could just cut to them to prove they're here. [ bleep ] nbc promised me they would pay for a.i. [ laughter ]
12:50 am
under my desk? har, har, nbc. [ laughter and applause ] trump's current level of madness and incoherence should be disqualifying. a normal political party would be panicking and desperately looking for a way to replace trump or at least trick him into dropping out by laying a trail of chicken nuggets. [ laughter ] and it leads on to a plane that flies to a remote island in the pacific where he can live out his remaining days on a movie set that looks like the oval office. [ laughter ] but republicans are not normal. they are, as tim walz famously put it, weird, which has also clearly gotten under trump's skin. >> he said, "you know, i think j.d. vance is weird." you know, it's a word they use. i think he calls me that too. no, we're not weird. we're very solid people. [ cheers ] i think we're very -- actually i think we're the opposite of weird. they're weird. >> seth: if someone -- [ laughter ] -- calls you weird. and your responses were, "we're very solid people," you're [ bleep ] weird.
12:51 am
[ laughter ] trump is so clearly bothered by the weird allegation that he's trying to redirect them by claiming he's not the weird one, it's his running mate. >> the new york times is out here reporting that when he was asked about democrats trying to paint his ticket as weird, trump said, quote, not about me. they're saying that about j.d. [ laughter ] >> seth: trump's reaction to being called weird is not to defend himself but to throw j.d. vance under the bus. i'd say that's the worst thing you can do to a running mate, but, you know, he did try to have the last one killed, which is kind of weird. [ laughter ] next, trump is going to start jumping in and also playing into the j.d. vance couch rumors. >> we had a beautiful sofa there, as opposed to what we have right now. right now, we have you. >> seth: "we used to have a beautiful sofa there, but unfortunately, we had to get rid of the sofa.' [ laughter ] "we had to keep it away from
12:52 am
j.d." [ laughter ] "the minute he saw that sofa, he just said 'hubba, hubba,' and we said --" [ laughter ] as if the response to being called weird could not get any weirder, j.d. himself was asked about trump's quote on cnn yesterday and said this. >> i want to move on to something that governor walz has called you and donald trump, and that is weird. >> sure. >> and it has taken off. the new york times reports that when donald trump was asked about it, he said, "not me. they're talking about j.d." >> well, certainly they've levied that charge against me more than anybody else. >> seth: imagine the humiliation -- [ laughter ] -- of having to pretend that in that pairing, you're the weird one. [ laughter ] but i have to say, i think my favorite trump response to being called weird is this. >> nobody's ever called me weird. i'm a lot of things, but weird i'm not. >> seth: nobody's ever -- i've made a whole career out of it.
12:53 am
that was the original title of this show. [ laughter ] in fact, that bring us to a new segment called "seth has a bone to pick with democrats." ♪ hey, democrats, i don't mind you guys calling republicans weird. but maybe throw a citation out there next time you do. i don't want to brag or anything, but we've been banging the "republicans are weird" drum for, like, five years. >> seth: when you boil it down, it's basically just a collection of gigantic weirdos. trump and his calvalcade of goons are weird. crime adjacent weirdos. trump's gang of weirdos. the rotating cast of fringe right-wing weirdos. the fourth horseman of the weirdocalypse -- he is weird. trump and his gang of weirdos. trump is still a weirdo and a liar. trump and his bus load of weirdos. weirdos, clowns, and bozos. all these weirdos -- just incredibly weird. these guys are so weird! >> seth: tim walz -- yeah. yeah. [ cheers and applause ] tim walz says it once on tv, and he's the v.p. nominee. meanwhile, i didn't even make the short list.
12:54 am

[ laughter ] oh, so, i can't be vice president? [ laughter ] that's how long we've been calling republicans weird. i was still wearing a suit. and by the way, yes, responding to democrats calling republicans weird by making a montage of yourself calling republicans weird is weird. but i'm not weird. i'm a very solid person. [ laughter and applause ] anyway, the point is things have gotten so bad for trump that even his supporters, like kevin mccarthy, have been going on fox news and telling him to snap out of it. here's mccarthy from this morning. >> you've got to make this race, not on personalities. stop questioning the size of her crowds and start questioning her position. >> seth: kev, buddy, it's too late. this is the horse you chose to ride. you may want him to magically
12:55 am
turn into secretariat, but he's the donkey at the county fair. he's gonna get startled by a loud noise and kick you in the balls. [ light laughter ] the very existence of kamala harris and tim walz is driving trump insane, and it's revealed his true character for the world to see. that's why he's losing his mind at kamala's poll numbers and crowd size. that's why the republicans are desperately cycling through one nonsensical attack after another. for walz, their latest is a dumb nickname that's probably not going to help them with women voters. >> they're calling him tonight "tampon tim." >> a nickname for tim walz is "tampon tim." >> trump's running against a woke woman and a progressive v.p. named "tampon tim." >> seth: republicans are flailing worse than me at olympic break dancing. [ laughter ] just to clarify, walz signed a bill into law providing free period products in public schools. it does not require them -- [ cheers and applause ] exactly. exactly. it does not require them in boy's bathrooms. local districts have flexibility
12:56 am
to decide where to put them and some, though not all, chose to inclued them in boy's bathrooms. and my response to that is who cares? you think it's scandalizing for an eighth grade boy to see a tampon? the worse thing that will happen is that they'll steal them, put them in their friend's locker as joke and their friend will say, "not cool, mike." and they'll say, "shut up, dave." and then, the principal will come by and say, "hey, those aren't toys. now, stop being so weird and get to football practice." and they'll say, "yes, mr. walz." [ laughter ] walz freaks out republicans and harris freaks out trump because he can't stand the idea of anyone else getting more media attention or more crowds or more positive coverage. and now, he's once again claiming democrats are cheating. basically, trump thinks he's getting screwed worse than a guy who's -- >> having sex with a couch.
