00:00Where does it stop where does it stop buddy? We've been asking ourselves that
00:05question since January. Another day, another televised address on Charlotte's
00:10bill from President Donald Trump. Wait, I thought this already happened twice. Well, it did.
00:15But in a press conference on Tuesday, the president again commented on the clashes and
00:20Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend. And this time he appeared to backtrack on
00:23his Monday statement about
00:25the deadly rally again, placing blame for the violence on quote, both sides.
00:30You had a group on one side that was bad and you had a group on the other side that was also very
00:35violent.
00:36After failing to call out the hate groups by name over the weekend, Trump did denounce the
00:40KKK neo-Nazis and white supremacists Monday as repugnant and criminal
00:45criminals and thugs. On Tuesday, however, he fired off a series of questionable tweets
00:50and retweets, which he deleted before his press conference later in the day.
00:55I think that is the same thing.
00:56This is the only thing.
00:57We've seen a lot of people on the left that came charging at the, as you say, the Alt
00:58right. Do they have any.
01:00semblance of guilt? I think they do. Of course, late night hosts ripped into Trump
01:05s back-and-forth stances. Over on CBS s The Late Show, Stephen Colbert delivered...
01:10the news. The host explained, even though many criticized how long it took the
01:15president knew the right thing to do was make a statement on Monday. Be clear about...
01:20who was to blame and then move on to the people s business. Just kidding. He held a press
01:25conference today in what I believe was the seventh circle of hell. During the press
01:30conference, Trump also slammed the media saying, quote, if the press were not fake
01:35and were honest, the press would have said what I said was very nice. And if you were a better
01:40president, you would have said something very nice. Over on NBC s Late Night with Seth Meyers,
01:45clearly had to make a last-minute addition to the show. President Donald Trump held a press
01:50conference before we started taping, which means it's time for breaking crazy, Meyers said.
01:55Before going on to describe Trump s presser as, quote, clinically insane.
01:59Normally, when someone...
02:00When someone is talking that level of crazy, Batman crashes through the ceiling and punches him.
02:05On ABC s Jimmy Kimmel Live, there were also some last-minute changes. Cutting the babies in paradise
02:10skits. Say it ain't so, Jimmy. Anyway, Trump s meltdown led to the monologue being reworded
02:15according to Kimmel. I even thought, hey, maybe we won't talk much about Donald Trump
02:20tonight. And then he opened his mouth and all manner of stupid came out.
02:25The post added he would feel more comfortable if Game of Thrones' Cersei Lannister were running
02:28the country at this moment. Anyway...
02:30He has a point. Those Lannisters do always pay their debts. That's for all my GOT fans.
02:35Here. Kimmel went on to describe how the press conference degenerated so far into absurd
02:40that it was like a book club meeting turning into a cockfight.
02:43I feel like I can say this with...
02:45The President is completely unhinged. The wheels are off the wagon.
02:50And hurtling towards the moon right now.
02:52All right, guys. Those are just some of the best late-night moments.
