[ laughter ] former president trump is reportedly planning to formally announce his presidential campaign on november 14th. no word yet on his choice for v.p. or first lady. former president barack obama and donald trump held separate rallies over the weekend in pennsylvania obama campaigned for john fetterman, and trump campaigned for 2024. [ laughter ] democratic congressional campaign committee chair sean patrick maloney said in an interview yesterday that democrats will maintain control of congress and added, "we're not perfect, but we are responsible adults who didn't attack the capitol." not exactly a high bar [ laughter ] democrats are like the stepdad of political parties they may be lame, but at least they're not the guy who walked out on you [ laughter ] "hey, i'm here!" yesterday was the end of daylight savings time. in case you were wondering why these all feel more like 1:30 in the morning jokes. [ light laughter ]

the new york city marathon was held yesterday, and kenyan runner evans chebet was the men's champion with a time of 2 hours, 8 minutes, and 41 seconds [ cheers and applause 2 hours, 8 minutes, and 41 seconds, the fastest anyone has ever gotten from staten island to central park. [ laughter ] at a rally in pennsylvania over the weekend, former president trump called florida governor ron desantis, "ron desanctimonious." has anyone ever been worse at coming up with nicknames [ laughter ] imagine trump in "top gun. people, people, i know we all love maverick, but i think i got one that beats it. are you ready? everybody ready? "airplane guy. that's right former president trump referred to florida governor ron desantis as ron desanctimonious, which is a risky move for trump because that's six syllables [ laughter ] a j.c. penney location in pennsylvania temporarily closed last week after a deer wandered

into the store even crazier, a couple weeks ago, a shopper wandered in [ laughter ] he's asking what aisle stuff's in over 50 students in el paso, texas, may have to retake the s.a.t. after their answer sheets flew out of a ups truck and were either lost or destroyed the students are calling the incident disheartening, regrettable, disconcerting, or irksome. [ laughter ] astronomers predict that a total lunar eclipse will occur tomorrow so, if you look outside and the moon turns red don't worry. it just means dr. oz won his senate race.

[ cheers and applause and you know him from "boardwalk empire," "the irishman" and the "ant-man" movies he's currently starring in the watcher over on netflix. our friend, bobby cannavale will also be joining us [ cheers and applause but before we get to that, on the eve of the midterm elections, the republican party has made their agenda crystal clear. if they regain power, they will once again thrust our government into chaos while subverting future elections to cement permanent republican rule. and they've also made clear that donald trump is still and will remain the leader of their party and that they will march in lockstep behind him if they win on tuesday for more on this, it's time for "a closer look." ♪ [ cheers and applause

>> seth: if you watch republican midterm ads or listen to republicans talk, they pretend that they're focused on issues like crime or gas prices or inflation. dr. mehmet oz, the gop candidate for senate in pennsylvania, tried to highlight gas prices by posting this incredibly bizarre picture of himself standing under a sign showing gas prices at a sheetz convenience store on the side of the road in altoona. just hanging out under a gas station sign, you know like ordinary americans do so stoic, too. he looks like a car dealership tube man after he quit caffeine. [ laughter ] there are actually a few more things i want to zoom in on in this picture as part of our new segment, "an even closer look. ♪ all right, first of all, why are his arms crossed like he's doing a pose in the opening credits of "shark tank? "so you want to sell pills that don't do anything? i'm intrigued. also, i love his serious face. look at it is he the gas station bouncer? [ laughter ] "sorry, sir. you're not on the list get your beef jerky elsewhere. ladies, right this way."

[ laughter ] and i'm sorry. there's only one pennsylvania senate candidate who can pull off the nightclub bouncer look i mean that's a guy who will not be fooled by your out of state i.d. plus, fetterman is so tall that when he takes the same picture, gas looks like it's only 99 cents [ laughter ] and finally, let's zoom in on oz's feet. why is he standing on a tiny rock [ laughter ] does he think he's stranded at sea? is he playing the floor is lava or, more likely, is he wearing super expensive shoes? "i stand for all pennsylvanians on a tiny rock so i don't get dirt on my bruno cuccinellis." this has been "an even closer look." ♪ [ cheers and applause so, republicans claim they're focused on issues. "oh, but seth," you might say, "didn't you just spend two minutes making fun of a picture of dr. oz? yes, but i never claimed to be focused on the issues. republicans did. [ laughter ] when you press them for specifics on what they would actually do if they win, they don't really have any. that's what happened with florida senator rick scott,

who's in charge of taking back the senate for republicans this year, went on "meet the press" and was asked if he could name a bill republicans would pass that president biden might actually sign into law. and instead he just repeated a bunch of lazy republican slogans. >> all right let's assume you've got the majority i'm going to take you at your word you're going to get the house. you're going to get the senate what's the first bill a republican congress sends to the president's desk that you actually think he would sign >> i think the issues we've got to deal with inflation so, we've got to figure out how to spend our money wisely so we don't continue this inflation. i think we've got to do whatever we can to get this crime rate down, so i think we have to look at that. we've got to secure the border so, i think those are the things we have to focus on. >> seth: yeah, but none of those are bills. we can all name issues you know, we're asking for solutions. when you go to the doctor, he doesn't just point out a bunch of [ bleep ] that's wrong with you and leave. "we've got to do something about the gallbladder, and that heart's no good. plus a bunch of your bones are out of place, and you need a new kidney anyway, good luck with all of that

i'm going to go hang out under the sign at the gas station with the other doctors. so, once again republicans are making promises they obviously have no intention of keeping how many times do we have to go through this dance with the gop before we learn that they're lying? remember when they did the same thing with obamacare for almost an entire decade, they said obamacare had to be repealed, that it was their number one priority, and that they had a solution that would be so much better and cost so much less and give everyone great health care. remember when trump said all this >> we are coming up with something that i believe will be very good. a bill that's going to be a phenomenal bill. we're going to have something that's going to be much more understood and much more popular than people can even imagine this will be a plan where you can choose your doctor this will be a plan where you can choose your plan and you know what the plan is. this is the plan this is a great bill there's a great plan, and this will be great health care. you're going to have such great

health care at a tiny fraction of the cost, and it's going to be so easy >> seth: as usual with trump, he couldn't stop overpromising. it's one thing to lie and say you have a plan when you don't it's another to say that nonexistent plan you don't have is the greatest plan to ever exist in the history of civilization "this plan is so amazing, you're going to get everything. perfect health care, completely free and if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor you can keep him in your basement, chained to a wall. they'll be there 24/7 to serve your medical needs the doctors don't like it, but you're going to love it. you're going to love it. [ laughter ] also remember when he said it would be so easy, like he was a dude trying to impress a date at a carnival "hey, babe, you want that giant bear no problem going to be so easy. i can hit that clown's mouth in one shot [ bleep ]. [ light laughter ] not even close dammit the clown moved. i swear the clown moved, babe. no no i won't let it go. [ light laughter ] you don't understand

i'm going to go to the sheetz and hang out under the sign. now, that's two -- that's two callbacks to the sheetz sign so, if you know anything about comedy, there's probably one more coming. [ laughter ] you're not out of the woods yet, dr. oz [ laughter ] anyway, trump was of course lying just like the rest of the republican party when it came time to actually pass a bill to replace obamacare after nearly a decade -- i'm realizing now it was a gun, and i threw a ball, right? it just dawned on me i mimed throwing, and it's going to be a tricky edit. [ laughter ] when it came time to actually pass a bill to replace obamacare after nearly a decade of empty promises, they freaked out like a hungover college freshman waking up in his dorm room at 6:00 a.m. with a blank piece of paper stuck to his face. "oh [ bleep ]. this is due in an hour oh, let's see, what do i have so far?

this will be a thesis where you can choose your thesis and you know what the thesis is. this is the thesis ah!" [ applause ] the same thing is playing out all over again except this time, all the lies and empty promises are concealing something much more nefarious. and that is the real reason republicans want power so, they can rig future elections and install permanent one-party rule and that's not just me saying that republicans are saying that. they are saying it in public, out in the open for everyone to hear the gop candidate for governor in wisconsin, tim michels, who is in a dead heat with the democratic incumbent tony evers, said at a campaign stop last week, "republicans will never lose another election in wisconsin after i'm elected governor." that wasn't even a secret confession caught on hidden camera at a private event. he said that at a public campaign stop. it used to be that when you caught politicians confessing to something scandalous, it would be on grainy black and white footage from a motel security camera now they just yell it into a microphone like michael buffer before a boxing match. "let's get ready for fascism!"

♪ by the way, not the real song. it's a fake sound-alike. we couldn't afford the real one thanks to inflation. [ laughter ] anyway, the point is the thing that really motivates republicans is not the cost of living or gas prices or any of that stuff it's election denialism. trump's big lie about the 2020 election is now the beating heart of conservative ideology it's their single obsessive focus and the thing that galvanizes them as you can see from a rally trump held in miami last night for florida senator marco rubio, where the crowd actually chanted with trump when he claimed the 2020 election was stolen and by the way, just for the record, what you're about to hear from trump, as if you even needed to hear me say this, is complete and utter nonsense. >> just this week, the pennsylvania supreme court ruled in effect that i was 100% right and the 2020 presidential election in pennsylvania was riddled with ballots that should never have been counted. far more than necessary to win

they stated that big things that took place in 2020 presidential election in pennsylvania were not allowed. they weren't allowed to do it. now they did it anyway, but they weren't allowed. but they refused the court to invalidate the election. instead, in the future, they say -- [ crowd chanting ] that's true. that's true. [ crowd chanting ] by a lot >> seth: you know how when you read supreme court opinions, they always use language like "big things took place that were not allowed. you can read all about it in trump v. bad guys, nasty guys. but that's what really gets republicans going, not -- you can notice they're not chanting "solve inflation" or "balance the budget." also, in general whenever an angry mob is chanting something, you want a politician who will try to calm them down, not respond by saying "that's true." when the townsfolk showed up

with torches and pitchforks to kill frankenstein, trump probably would have been there saying, you know what? you guys are right we have to kill that giant green monster. we've got to kill him with the bolts in his neck. personally, i've always been more of a dracula fan. we love dracula, don't we? we love dracula. i met him during a presidential visit to transylvania. i was there. he came up to me, big guy, tough guy. tears pouring up his face because he was hanging by his feet like a bat so, the tears were dripping from his eyes down his forehead onto the floor. it was very special. he said to me, 'mr. trump, sir, i want to suck your blood. and i said, dracula, you remind me of my son." [ laughter ] although my favorite crowd chant during that rally came when trump was ranting about his first impeachment, the one where he tried to extort ukraine to help him cheat in the 2020 election, and he attacked one of the lead impeachment managers, congressman adam schiff. >> so, the speech he made was total you know what. i won't use it because my wife always says -- she always says, "darling, don't use the word bull [ bleep ]."

so, i'm not going to use it. i'm telling you, first lady. [ bleep ]. don't use that word. [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ]. >> seth: wow, you guys are the coolest kids in fifth grade. [ laughter ] "we got a substitute teacher today. let's all chant bull [ bleep ] and see if he cries. [ laughter ] but trump remains obsessed with the election and with his two impeachments, which is why republicans have made it clear that one of the first things they'll do if they get back in power is use congress to investigate their political enemies, impeach various cabinet officials like merrick garland, prosecute dr. anthony fauci, and even impeach biden himself which has led former president barack obama to add a little comedy routine to his stump speech about how ridiculous that is >> they're on record if they get control of congress, they will spend the next two years investigating president biden and their political opponents. that's all they want to do they see it as payback some of them have said they're going to impeach president biden.

now, they're not sure why. they're not sure what for yet. but apparently that's beside the point. >> seth: you know, we've said it before and we'll say it again. one of the only good things about campaign season is the return of stand-up comedy obama. [ laughter ] "let's see, what else? what else? you see that photo of dr. oz what's up with this weird dude [ laughter ] standing on the side of the road like a restaurant mascot i said to michelle, i said, i didn't know they had a bob's little boy this ain't new jersey. you got to pump your own gas dried up spock-looking mother [ bleep ]. [ laughter ] and that's our third that's it. anyway, that's what's republicans are going to do. they're going to use the levers of power for political retribution and to plunge our government and our economy into crisis after crisis after crisis again, this isn't a weird conspiracy theory i made up. this is all just stuff they've

said themselves in public. they want to impeach biden and his cabinet, investigate fauci, pass a national abortion ban, hold the debt ceiling hostage to force cuts to social security and medicare, which among other things could potentially detonate our economy that's all stuff they've said on the record it will be the trump era over and over again nonstop crisis, nonstop chaos, nonstop [ bleep ], [ bleep ] but most important of all, they want to use their positions in key states across the country to rig future elections and cement one-party republican rule. like the gop candidate for secretary of state in nevada, jim marchant, who openly said he and other pro-trump secretaries of state around the country will make sure that trump wins no matter what in 2024. >> we have something in common president trump and i lost an election in 2020 because of a rigged election. and when i'm secretary of state of nevada, we're going to fix it and when my coalition of secretary of state candidates around the country get elected, we're going to fix the whole country. and president trump is going to

be president again in 2024 >> seth: once again, they're just admitting their plans to steal the 2024 election in advance. seriously, what else do we have to do to get people to pay attention to this? do i have to stand on a street corner in times square dressed like abe lincoln, handing out pamphlets like one of those guys advertising a presidents' day sale, because i will do it actually, i won't do it, but i will make wally do it. >> four score and seven cue cards ago -- >> seth: oh. [ laughter ] it's like -- [ cheers and applause it's like a dead heat with daniel day-lewis [ laughter ] it's very possible the democrats will lose seats tomorrow since historically that always is what happens to the party in power. in fact, it would be very normal and maybe even unremarkable if it weren't for the fact that republicans want to subvert the system to ensure that they never lose power again that's their plan, and we know that's their plan. because they've said that's

their plan it's a plan -- >> where you can choose your plan and you know what the plan is. this is the plan >> seth: this has been "a closer look." ♪ [ cheers and applause we'll be right back with gayle king ♪s >> announcer: for more of seth's closer looks, be sure to subscribe to "late night" on youtube. when moderate to severe ulcerative colitis persists... put it in check with rinvoq, a once-daily pill. when uc got unpredictable,... i got rapid symptom relief with rinvoq. check. when uc held me back... i got lasting, steroid-free remission with rinvoq. check. and when uc got the upper hand... rinvoq helped visibly repair the colon lining. check. rapid symptom relief. lasting, steroid-free remission. and a chance to visibly repair the colon lining. check. check. and check. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb.
