WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME TO THE "TONIGHT SHOW! YOU'RE HERE.
YOU MADE IT. YOU'RE WATCHING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WELL, GUYS, THIS IS BIG. LAST NIGHT THE JANUARY 6th COMMISSION REVEALED THAT DURING
THE CAPITOL RIOTS, THE WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF GOT TEXTS FOR PLEADING FOR TRUMP TO CALM
THINGS DOWN FROM FOX NEWS ANCHORS AND DONALD TRUMP JR. YEAH
TRUMP IGNORED THE ADVICE OF THE CLOSEST TO HIM AND ALSO DON JR [ LAUGHTER ]
TRUMP WAS LIKE, "IF I REPLIED TO EVERY TEXT THAT SAID 'WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS CRAZY,' I'D
NEVER GET ANYTHING DONE. [ LAUGHTER ] YEAH, IT CAME OUT THAT FOX NEWS
HOSTS WERE BEGGING FOR TRUMP DO SOMETHING. AND TODAY'S FOX NEWS HOSTS LIT
TREE ON FIRE AGAIN JUST TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT [ LAUGHTER ]
TRUMP DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR IT NOT ONLY DID TRUMP IGNORE TEXTS FROM THE FOX NEWS, HE ALSO
DROPPED THEM FROM HIS FAMILY CELL PHONE PLAN. [ LAUGHTER ]
THAT'S RIGHT, WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF MARK MEADOWS WAS GETTING TEXTS DURING THE ATTACK
ASKING TRUMP TO INTERVENE. FOR EXAMPLE, SEAN HANNITY TEXTED, AND THIS IS REAL, "CAN
HE MAKE A STATEMENT ASK PEOPLE TO LEAVE THE CAPITAL?" YEP, THAT'S NOT ALL MEADOWS
RECEIVED SEVERAL OTHER MESSAGES THAT DAY, TOO
FOR EXAMPLE, ERIC TRUMP TEXTED, "HEAD STUCK IN CAPITAL STAIRCASE RAILING.
SEND HELP! [ LAUGHTER ] NEXT TEXT, RUDY GUILIANI,
TEXTED, "JUST SHOWED UP AT CAPITOL TOTAL LANDSCAPING. WHEN'S THE RIOTING START?"
[ LAUGHTER ] AND FINALLY PRESIDENT TRUMP TEXTED MEADOWS, "JUST MAKE SURE
THEY DON'T TAKE AWAY MY TWITTER! [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
CRAZY DAY ALL AROUND CRAZY DAY ALL AROUND SOME MORE NEWS FROM WASHINGTON
THE WHITE HOUSE JUST ANNOUNCED THEIR PLAN TO ADD 500,000 CHARGING STATIONS FOR
ELECTRIC VEHICLES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IT'S INCREDIBLE.
SOMEHOW, WE CAN BUILD HALF A A MILLION CHARGING STATIONS, BUT WE CAN'T ADD A SECOND
OUTLET AT LA GUARDIA [ LAUGHTER ] CAN I CHARGE MY PHONE?
I JUST -- OKAY DID YOU GUYS HEAR THIS TODAY, THE STATE OF NEW YORK
ORDERED FORMER GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO TO RETURN THE FIVE MILLION DOLLARS HE RECEIVED
FROM HIS BOOK ON LEADERSHIP DURING THE PANDEMIC. I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THE
DRINKING AT THE CUOMO FAMILY CHRISTMAS HAS ALREADY BEGUN. [ LAUGHTER ]
SOME BUSINESS NEWS AFTER ANNOUNCING THEIR NAME CHANGE, FACEBOOK PAID A BANK IN
SOUTH DAKOTA $60 MILLION FOR THE RIGHTS TO THEIR NEW NAME, "META.
IT'S MAKING EMOTIONAL BECAUSE SEEING A BANK GET $60 MILLION IS WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT
[ LAUGHTER ] [ APPLAUSE ] THAT'S RIGHT, A BANK
NOW THEY'RE SO RICH, THEY DON'T EVEN CHAIN THEIR PENS TO THE TABLE ANYMORE.
[ LAUGHTER ] "JUST TAKE THEM! THAT'S A MONTBLANC
JUST TAKE IT." I LIKE HOW FACEBOOK WAS TRYING TO RENAME THEIR COMPANY
SOMETHING COOL, BUT IT WAS ALREADY BEING USED BY A BANK IN SOUTH DAKOTA
[ LAUGHTER ] WELL, THIS IS ENCOURAGING. I READ THAT DESPITE SUPPLY
CHAIN ISSUES, UPS AND THE POSTAL SERVICE HAVE IMPROVED THEIR ON TIME DELIVERIES
COMPARED TO LAST YEAR'S HOLIDAY SEASON THAT'S RIGHT
THEY NOW DELIVER THAT SLIP THAT SAYS, "SORRY WE MISSED YOU RIGHT ON TIME.
[ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE "RIGHT ON TIME I WAS HERE ALL DAY."
I SAW THAT LG HAS A NEW BATTERY POWERED TV THAT YOU CAN WHEEL AROUND ON A STAND TO WATCH
ANYWHERE YEAH, A TV ON WHEELS IT IS PERFECT IF YOU'VE EVER
DREAMT OF BEING A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER FROM 1997. [ LAUGHTER ]
AND GET THIS, UBER EATS JUST MADE ITS FIRST-EVER DELIVERY TO SPACE AFTER A JAPANESE
BILLIONAIRE BOUGHT FOOD FROM THE APP TO ASTRONAUTS ON THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
YEAH THAT'S HOW TOUGH THE ECONOMY IS RIGHT NOW.
A BILLIONAIRE IS WORKING FOR UBER EATS. [ LAUGHTER ]
WELL, THIS IS INTERESTING. A NEW STUDY FOUND THAT ROCKET SCIENTISTS AND BRAIN SURGEONS
ARE NOT ANY SMARTER THAN THE GENERAL POPULATION THAT'S GOTTA BE A GREAT STUDY
TO READ RIGHT BEFORE YOU'RE WHEELED IN FOR BRAIN SURGERY RIGHT?
YOU'RE LIKE, "WHAT?" BRAIN SURGEONS WERE LIKE, "YOU NEED TO BE SUPER SMART TO KNOW
ABOUT THE BRAIN, AND ALL THOSE LITTLE TUBEY THINGS AROUND IT. [ LAUGHTER ]
AND FINALLY, A WOMAN EATING AT A RESTAURANT IN NEW ORLEANS FOUND A DOZEN PEARLS IN AN
OYSTER THAT SHE ORDERED. WOMAN SAID SHE WOULD PROBABLY SELL THE PEARLS, WHEN THEY
PASSED IN SIX TO EIGHT HOURS [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE WE HAVE A GREAT SHOW, GIVE IT
