0:02 [cheering]
0:03 That's very kind.
0:03 Thank you.
0:04 Thank you for watching.
0:05 Thanks for coming out to see us.
0:07 And I'm home here in um please relax AND BEAUTIFUL SUNNY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
0:14 I'M
0:15 [cheering]
0:15 glad you're in a good mood.
0:16 You know, it's April 15th.
0:17 It's tax day.
0:19 Uh although you could make a case that every
0:21 day since November of 2024 has been taxing,
0:24 but today is officially that special time of the year
0:27 when we all pitch in to pay for Melania's new plane.
0:32 Why is it I was thinking about this today.
0:33 Why is it we don't learn about we learn nothing about taxes in high school?
0:38 Instead we are we learn how to calculate the volume of a cylinder.
0:42 That's not helpful.
0:44 Hey, here's a fun tax day tip.
0:45 Take however much you owed in taxes this year.
0:48 Let's say you owed $50,000.
0:49 Subtract that number from the same number subtract $50,000 from $50,000.
0:55 And you know what you get?
0:57 You get the amount Donald Trump paid in taxes this year.
1:01 Tax filing is next week.
1:02 And if you listen to the people,
1:03 they can't believe all the money they're getting back in the form of refunds.
1:07 The number is 5,000, 6,000, 7,000 dollars.
1:12 So, be careful.
1:13 Get the money back and remember who got it for you.
1:17 [laughter] The guy who drove us another 3 trillion dollars into debt?
1:19 Is that the guy?
1:21 He got it for us.
1:22 That's our money.
1:23 You didn't get anything for us.
1:25 You take from us.
1:26 That's all you do.
1:27 Remember 10 years ago?
1:31 [applause]
1:30 It's funny how we just let this go, but 10 years ago when Trump was running,
1:34 he said he couldn't release his taxes because they were still under audit,
1:38 which was unverifiable,
1:40 but he said he would as soon as they weren't being audited, and he didn't.
1:43 And what Remember when we found out he paid a total
1:46 of $750 in taxes in 2016 and $750,000 not thousand, $750 in 2017.
1:55 Every president since Jimmy Carter has released his tax
1:58 returns while in office with only one exception.
2:02 You want to guess who it is?
2:04 Has the president filed his taxes and is he going to release them publicly?
2:08 It's actually a very good question.
2:09 I have not inquired with the president directly about his own taxes,
2:13 but I'm happy to do so and I'll get you an answer on that.
2:15 Yes.
2:15 And you you will never hear from me again because [laughter] although I will say
2:20 Trump's accountant said his tax returns are
2:22 the strongest and healthiest returns he's ever seen.
2:25 They're hung like a horse.
2:27 He has no dependents but a lot of depends and I'm sure he'll be paying plenty.
2:33 Lots of stores offered tax day deals today.
2:36 Krispy Kreme had a deal today where if you buy
2:38 a dozen donuts you get a second dozen free and I
2:41 think we can all agree that there is nothing more American
2:43 than paying your taxes and then eating 24 donuts by yourself.
2:49 There are thousands and thousands of licensed
2:52 tax professionals here in the United States.
2:54 That's a lot of competition which means some
2:56 of them around this time of the year,
2:58 like this clever shop out of Houston, have to get creative.
3:03 [music] Come and file your taxes.
3:04 Come and file your taxes.
3:05 You know you won't that.
3:07 Cash advance.
3:09 You won't that cash advance.
3:10 You better off file file [music] file file file.
3:14 Hey hey hey hey hey.
3:17 File [music and singing] file file file file.
3:19 Hey hey hey hey hey.
3:22 Come to Ballston.
3:23 We going to hook you up.
3:25 We going to make sure you get that max refund.
3:28 You got a couple kids and you a [music] single baby mom.
3:31 Don't worry about it little girl.
3:32 That's my job.
3:37 [applause and cheering]
3:42 Ernst& Young are a lot more fun than I would have guessed.
3:46 Meanwhile our Darth Vader president is lashing out at the Pope again.
3:49 This is is he operates.
3:50 He does something dumb.
3:52 Everyone around him tries to clean it up for him,
3:54 and then he just does it again.
3:55 He's mad at the Pope for being against
3:57 war and lashed out last night just before midnight,
4:02 which is not helping his I'm not the Antichrist campaign.
4:06 And then this morning, you know that image Trump posted of himself
4:08 as Jesus and claimed it was a doctor.
4:10 Well, this time uh he posted another one.
4:12 It was not him as Jesus, but with Jesus.
4:15 He posted this image of Jesus quietly begging him to stop.
4:23 [laughter]
4:23 And you know, I don't know if you know
4:24 this, but he you know he thinks artists make these.
4:27 He thinks they're paintings.
4:29 For real.
4:29 He doesn't realize this is an AI thing.
4:31 And check out the chin and cheekbones on Somebody is [laughter]
4:36 Somebody's been looksmaxing uh Here's another one.
4:39 Trump didn't post this, but I'm sure he will get to it.
4:42 This one shows Jesus looking over Trump's
4:44 shoulders as he reads the Epstein files.
4:47 He's like,
4:49 [laughter]
4:48 "You're going to hell for this and this and this." You know,
4:52 it's been A LONG TIME
4:55 [cheering] [applause] SINCE GOD SMITED SOMEONE.
4:59 We are now on day three of Hormuzapalooza.
5:02 We still can't seem to get a straight answer on what's going on over there.
5:05 Trump says the strait is closed, but he also says it's open.
5:08 It's whatever you want it to be.
5:10 Gas prices are sky-high, but our Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright,
5:14 is confident that whatever the president is doing is good, even if it isn't.
5:19 God bless President Trump's agenda and willingness to pivot.
5:23 Just because it looks like we're going the wrong
5:25 direction does not mean that's the direction we're going.
5:30 [laughter] THIS IS WHY HIS WIFE WON'T DRIVE WITH HIM.
5:37 [laughter] Trump is desperate to change the narrative right now
5:40 and sat for a doozy of an interview with Maria Bartiromo,
5:43 who, like everyone, is curious as to when this war might be over.
5:48 I had to divert because if I didn't do
5:50 that, right now you would have Iran with a nuclear weapon.
5:54 And if they had a nuclear weapon,
5:56 you would be calling everybody over there, sir.
5:59 And you don't want to do that.
6:00 Well, you keep saying was.
6:01 Is this war over?
6:03 I think it's close to over.
6:05 Yeah, I I mean, I view it as very close to over.
6:08 Honestly, Maria, I have no idea what's happening or or what I'm doing.
6:12 I said COVID was over 2 years before it was over.
6:15 Did you know that before they made me president, I hosted a reality TV show?
6:19 Did you see that Britain suffered
6:21 the biggest growth forecast downgrade in the G7?
6:24 Yeah, well.
6:25 So, their economy's impacted.
6:27 It's the UK.
6:28 I would say this, they got to stop with the windmills
6:31 and they got to open up the North Sea.
6:36 They got to stop with the windmills.
6:37 You have to stop with the windmills.
6:39 What is with HIM AND THE WINDMILLS?
6:41 EVERY [cheering] [applause]
6:43 EVERY PROBLEM comes back to windmills.
6:47 Every day I become more convinced that Trump's father used to beat
6:49 him with a miniature golf club in the shadow of a windmill.
6:54 And then Don Quixote managed to steer the conversation
6:57 into yet another of his old man story loops.
7:00 You can call it the Strait of Hormuz or the Hormuz Strait.
7:04 I said, "Which is better?" They said,
7:05 "Either is okay, but you can call it either one.
7:08 The only thing you can't call it is the Trump Strait.
7:11 They don't like that idea." By the way,
7:13 speaking of that, I did another thing
7:15 that people like very much except for Mexico.
7:18 I took the Gulf of Mexico, we now call it the Gulf of America.
7:22 That's not bad.
7:23 What did they Wow, thanks for telling us.
7:25 I don't think you've ever mentioned that before.
7:28 Guillermo, did you know he changed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America?
7:31 No idea.
7:32 Oh, wow.
7:33 And no one calls him on it.
7:34 Everyone just nods like it's the first time they've heard this.
7:37 I don't know if you've noticed,
7:38 but he's also now laying the groundwork for his excuse for why
7:42 it won't be his fault when the Republicans lose the midterms.
7:46 Why is it that a voter votes for the opposite party?
7:50 It's even when you have a good president.
7:51 I think I had the greatest year,
7:52 the greatest opening year I read the greatest look, I ended eight wars.
7:59 A ninth is coming, but I ended eight wars.
8:02 Nobody's ever ended one war.
8:04 Who's ended one?
8:04 Nobody.
8:05 I ended eight.
8:09 [laughter]
8:08 That's right, nobody's Every war in history is
8:11 still going on because no one ever ended one.
8:15 Except him who ended eight by And a ninth is coming.
8:18 Do you get credit for ending a war you started?
8:21 I don't think you do.
8:22 This war is going so poorly for Trump,
8:24 he may need Melania to hold another surprise press
8:26 conference just to get Epstein back in the news again.
8:30 Trump's now former Attorney General Pam Bondi could
8:33 be held in contempt for failing to testify.
8:36 She was supposed to appear before the House Oversight Committee yesterday.
8:40 The Department of Justice is claiming that she's allowed
8:42 to ignore their subpoena because she's no longer Attorney General,
8:46 which is not how it go If you work at Starbucks and you punch a customer,
8:51 you can't just quit and say [laughter]
8:54 Barista me punched that dude.
8:55 Regular me is off the hook.
8:58 It's [applause] [cheering] Pam Bondi has a lot to answer for.
9:03 [applause] More than a year ago,
9:05 she claimed she had the Epstein client list sitting on her desk.
9:08 That was her quote, and then all of a sudden she didn't have it.
9:11 Unfortunately, Republicans on the committee like Lauren Boebert and Tim
9:15 Burchett are indicating they may let her off the hook,
9:17 which is our They forced Hillary Clinton to testify.
9:21 Pam Bondi needs to show up and lie under oath just as scheduled.
9:27 [laughter] And then we HAVE J.D.
9:28 VANCE [applause and cheering] WHO ACCORDING TO THE LATEST polling [applause]
9:32 is the least popular vice president in more than two decades.
9:35 Weirdly, Americans don't seem to be responding to J.D.'s infectious charisma.
9:40 Maybe maybe it's time for a new eyeliner.
9:43 I don't know, but J.D.
9:45 Vance may be deeply unpopular, but you wouldn't know it from this sitting
9:48 room only crowd in um Athens, Georgia yesterday.
9:52 I I I it doesn't bother me when he speaks on issues of the day.
9:56 Frankly, even when I disagree with how he's applying natural principles.
9:59 So,
10:00 There were more people in the theater to see the Melania documentary than J.D.
10:03 Vance.
10:04 J.D.
10:05 has had a rough week.
10:08 [applause] He failed to make a deal to end the war in Iran.
10:10 He had to defend Trump um bashing the Pope and the AI Jesus stuff.
10:14 And now he's made it his job to try to pretend
10:16 his boss wasn't a close friend of the world's most notorious pedophile.
10:21 One of the emails is about Donald Trump
10:23 narking on Jeffrey Epstein to the local sheriff saying, "This guy's a scumbag.
10:27 You should go and pick him up." So,
10:29 when Donald Trump says when the president says,
10:32 "This is a hoax." He's not saying it's a hoax that Epstein was a scumbag.
10:35 He's not saying that it's a hoax that Epstein was connected to powerful people.
10:40 He's saying this democratic idea that somehow he
10:43 was Epstein's best friend, THAT IS A HOAX.
10:47 OH, NOW IT'S CLEAR.
10:47 They weren't best friends.
10:49 They were just extremely horny acquaintances together.
10:53 [laughter] By the way, do you think Trump and J.D.
10:54 Vance have ever had a conversation about this where J.D.
10:57 asked him, "What was it what actually
10:59 happened with Jeffrey Epstein?" Not a chance.
11:01 He's pulling every bit of this out of his ass.
11:04 If you look at the emails, it's obvious that Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald J.
11:08 Trump.
11:08 And And by the way, one of the best
11:11 signs for whether you're a good person or not,
11:14 for whether you're a decent human being,
11:16 is if the worst people in the world hate your guts.
11:18 The fact that Jeffrey Epstein hates Donald J.
11:20 Trump is a pretty good thing for Donald J.
11:22 Trump.
11:23 What does it say if the Pope doesn't like you?
11:25 Is that a good sign?
11:30 [applause]
11:28 For Donald [cheering] J.
11:29 Trump?
11:32 For Donald J.
11:32 Trump.
11:34 Whenever they say Donald J.
11:35 Trump, that's when you know something is up.
11:38 Not only has Trump publicly said Jeffrey Epstein was a terrific
11:41 guy who was a lot of fun to hang around with.
11:43 Not only do they have Epstein on tape saying,
11:45 "I was Donald's closest friend for 10 years." There is
11:48 a video tape of them dancing and checking out chicks together.
11:53 And you can see how intensely the dislike is here.
11:56 Then look at them.
11:57 Look at those two non-friends having a terrible time.
12:01 And he's still dancing around Epstein many, many years later.
12:04 You know, there are a lot of cooks in this Trump administration.
12:07 Somehow though, they keep coming.
12:08 My new favorite character is this guy Greg Phillips.
12:11 I don't know if you've been following this story,
12:13 but Greg Phillips is a a Trump-loving He's third-in-command
12:16 at FEMA who claims to have teleported to a Waffle House.
12:22 And not just a Waffle House.
12:23 He said he once collapsed at a Lowe's and woke up
12:27 at a McDonald's with 15,000 steps logged and a Big Mac in his lap.
12:33 And CNN says he said Satan once spoke to him while he walked across Spain.
12:38 Um now, since CNN broke the story,
12:40 the White House reportedly told FEMA to either
12:42 remove Phillips or keep him out of public view.
12:45 And if you're wondering how crazy a member of the Trump
12:47 club has to be to be kept out of public view, the answer is this much.
12:52 So, I'm uh a few hundred meters from the location
12:56 where they had the encounter with with Satan.
13:01 Katherine, can I say something?
13:03 Mhm.
13:03 I would like to punch that in the mouth right now.
13:06 Who are we talking about?
13:08 I He is a nasty crappy human being and he deserves to die and I hope he does.
13:15 Satan lied to me.
13:16 He convinced me to pour out my water bottle to reduce my pack weight.
13:19 I tell you, teleporting is no fun.
13:21 I end up at a Waffle House like 50 miles away from where I was.
13:25 They said, "Where are you?" I said, "A Waffle House." I said, I said,
13:28 "W- Waffle House where?" And I said,
13:30 "Waffle House in Rome, Georgia." They said, "That's not possible.
13:33 You just left here like a moment ago." But it was possible.
13:36 It was real.
13:37 Oh, yeah.
13:38 We believe you.
13:38 Of course it was real.
13:41 Uh can you imagine that when an emergency happens,
13:43 this man is third in command in the whole country?
13:46 Just when you think this administration can't get any nuttier.
13:50 Excuse me.
13:51 I ORDERED A SAUSAGE LINK WITH THIS.
13:55 [laughter] HEY, WHERE THE HELL AM I?
14:00 [laughter]
13:59 WAIT A MINUTE.
14:00 ARE YOU Craig Phillips from FEMA?
14:04 Yes.
14:03 Wait, are you Jimmy Fallon?
14:05 Close enough.
14:06 Close enough.
14:07 We were just talking about you.
14:09 Where am I?
14:11 You're in a Hollywood.
14:12 You're in a television studio.
14:14 How did I get here?
14:16 I don't know how you got here.
14:17 I've no idea.
14:19 What's this?
14:19 I was just at a Waffle House eating an All-Star Breakfast Combo, as you can see.
14:23 And now I'm here.
14:26 I think I might have teleported.
14:28 But Greg, though, that's crazy.
14:30 So there must be some other explanation.
14:33 That's not what Satan told me at the Masters.
14:36 You spoke to Satan at the Masters?
14:38 Did Satan play golf?
14:39 No, no, no.
14:40 But all his friends do.
14:42 Oh.
14:43 [laughter] And you'll never guess what he told
14:44 me about our nation's greatest president, Donald J.
14:47 Trump.
14:49 What did he tell you?
14:50 Can I speak freely?
14:51 Oh, yes.
14:51 You are among friends here.
14:52 Go ahead.
14:56 Good.
14:55 The dark lord told me that the Epstein files were written
14:58 by a secret cabal of radical leftist TRANSGENDER ILLUMINATIS WHO ARE PLOTTING TO
15:08 GREG?
15:10 WHAT ARE THEY PLOTTING, GREG?
15:11 WHAT ARE THEY [applause] [cheering] I DON'T KNOW.
15:15 I I GUESS WE'LL NEVER FIND OUT.
15:18 GUILLERMO, when a man comes crawling at me on the floor,
15:21 aren't you supposed to do something about it?
15:23 As a Well, he disappeared too fast.
15:25 Oh, okay.
15:27 You know, with all this madness happening,
15:28 it's easy to forget that ICE is still out there
15:31 rounding people up and sending them who the hell knows where.
15:34 But, there are also still Americans out there fighting the good fight.
15:38 You know, in February,
15:39 the protesters in Minneapolis held an event called Operation Dildo Blitz.
15:44 They brought a battalion of rubber sex toys.
15:47 Sometimes you have to fight dildos with dildos,
15:50 and I guess this idea is catching on because
15:53 there've been dildo blitzes in This is um Los Angeles.
15:57 There's a dildo blitz.
15:58 Uh that one is another one here in LA.
16:01 In Portland, Oregon, there were just dildos all over the place.
16:06 Where they get these dildos?
16:07 I don't know.
16:07 Maybe from the Rudy Giuliani collection,
16:09 but it's a nice and harmless way to let ICE know what you think of them.
16:15 I mean, all those This El Niño is nuts, right?
16:17 ALL THE DILDOS OH, GREG, WHAT'S GOING ON?
16:23 YOU'RE BACK?
16:24 What I guess so.
16:26 Were you in Hawaii?
16:29 Uh no, I was at a Hawaiian-themed wedding IN ORLANDO.
16:32 OH.
16:32 ALOHA, EVERYONE.
16:34 OKAY, GOOD.
16:34 SHOULD YOU maybe teleport back to FEMA
16:37 headquarters to get ready for the hurricane season?
16:40 Yeah, I probably should.
16:42 Uh here, hold my hand.
16:45 Okay, thank you.
16:46 And uh [laughter]
16:49 This dildo is all that's so many uh crazy glued to my car windshield.
16:53 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:53 You know, you can keep that.
16:54 Why don't you take that back to FEMA?
16:56 Sure?
16:56 Yeah, I think the gang back there would like it, HUH?
16:58 ALEXA, TELEPORT.
17:02 ALL RIGHT.
17:02 WELL, THERE YOU GO.
17:03 WELL, WE HAVE a good show for you tonight.
17:05 Paul Walter [cheering] Hauser is here.
17:07 We got ham for everybody.
17:08 We'll be right back with Bob Odenkirk.
17:18 [music]
