[ cheers and applause ] before we get to that, president trump is turning on some of his closest allies while standing by the one that pays him, saudi arabia. for more on this, it's time for "a closer look." ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: trump did a sit down interview with fox news over the weekend. and in at interview, he said some things that might technically qualify as news.th

but ong he says that was news to nobody was when he described his decision-making process and made clear he doesn't real have one. >> when you're sitting at the desk, how do you make decisions? i mean, do them?onize over do you second guess yourself? how does -- >> i don't think about it. i don't think about, you know, how i make them. [ light laughter ] >> seth: yeah, yeah,e know. laughter ] it's one of the symptoms. i imagine trump makes decisions the same way netflix's algorithm suggests something totally random for you to watch. did you enjoy "the migrant caravan?" then you might also like "raking in finland." [ laughter ] so while there's no process to donald trump's decision, there is one central operating principle.d at's loyalty. it doesn't matter who you are or how decorated you are, all trump cares abt is whether you are nice to him or mean to him. that's why trump attacked retired admiral william mcraven, a navy seal who oversaw the operatiobito kill osamladen. ssraven has criticized trump's attacks on the pcalling him a threat to democracy.

but when trump was asked about , mcrae falsely accused him of being a hillary clinton supportejust because hillary had reportedly considered him as a possible running mate in 2016. >> bill mcraven, retired admira navy seal, 37 years, former head of u.s. special operations. >> hillary clinton fan. >> special operations? >> excuse me, hillary clinton fan. >> seth: i'm so happy we have a president who blurts stuff out like a "price is right" audience member. "hillary clinton. $1!" [ laughter ] trump has also tried to weaponize the criminal justice system against his political opponents for the same reason he attacked mcraven. he wants to punish them for their disloyalty. and he's being egged on by fox news.y, yesterthe new york times" reported that trump wanted to order the justice department to prosecute himes comey and ary clinton. some of his more vocal supporters stirred his anger including the fox news commentator jeanine pirro who has railed repeatedly on h weekly show that the president is being ill-served by the justice department.y so not o the president a

wannabe dictator who thinks he can jail whoever he wants, he also genuinely believes all the insane stuff he sees on fox news. trump probably sits there all day tching fox and shouting his aides -- "prosecute hillary. stop the caran. and ask my doctor if otezla is right for me. [ laughter ] why can't i have otezla?" trump doesn't care that hillary di 't actually break any la or that mcraven is a navy seal e ancorated military hero who led a mission to kill the world's most wanted terrorist.rs all that mato trump is whether you're loyal. and sure enough, trump is now questioning the loyalty of the man who was constitutionally speaking closer to him anyone else in the federal government. ee >> in recent with his electoral prospects two years from now, much on his mind, . trhaums focused on the person who has most publicly tethered his fortunes to him. inne conversation after another, he has asked aides and advisers a pointed question, is mike penceoyal?

>> seth: damn, now he's questioning mike pence? how paranoid can you be? mike pence has spent two years r doing hing he can to suck up to trump. i mean, he literally copies trump's physical mannerisms. remember that time trump put his the ground e o during a meeting, and then, pence immediately did the same thing? [ laughter ] i mean, look at that. pence is like a pageant mom who's doing his daught routine along with her from the audience. [ laughter ] and clap then spin then step, step, step and jazzy. for trump, loyty only goes one way. there's no better example of that than the man who's arguably eloser to trump than anyon in the world, fox news host sean hannity. just tgive you an idea of how loyal hannity is to trump, it was reported a few months ago that hannity has trump's direct ipone line. and they talk mu times a day including after the fox news host wraps up taping his show most week nights. can you imagine that conversation? it's probably the phone call version of two dogs sniffing each other's but. [ laughter ]

and everyone in the white house knows it's happening. because trump will walk around flaunting the fact that hannity calls him every day.af a white house r aware that the calls happen thanks to the president entering a room and an uncing, "i just hung up with hannity." no one has parlayed the president into less impressive celebrity friends. i mean, jfk used the presidency to hangout with marilyn monroe. trump plays phone-a-friend with the hun embodiment of a christmas ham. [ laughter ] [ applause ] sean hammity. so that's how close -- [ laughter ] -- that's how close those two are. or at least that's how close hannity thought they were until last week when "the daily beast" reported that trump calls hannity a "suck-up" behind his back.pe trump has edly made fun of hannity's interviewing skills and called hannity's softball questions "dumb."

now i think i know what hannity did to anger trump. you see, hannity has spe on his show defending trump from one especially salacious rumor about a certain sex act in a moscow hotel room, a rumor so salaous that we will not sto to repeat the details of it here on this show. but as we pointed out before, sean hannity often repeats all the embarrassing detai of that specific rumor on his tv show, which is watched by millions of people. and i feel like it might have started to annoy trump. because hannity -- hannity just won't leit go. >> remember that's the dossier that talked about trump at a rio -carlton in moscow with prostitutes urinating on his bed. the fake document about president trump and that goes to the ritz-carlton and that goes to hookers. russians and the ritz-carlton and hookers. you know, talking about hookers and urinating in beds. hookers, ritz-carlton, urinatin. on a b [ light laughter ] the ritz-carlton and hookers. russian hookers. hoump, hookers, hookers, hookers, hookersokers, hookers, hookers, hookers, g urinatinin his bed. peeing, urinating, urinating, na urinating,ting, urinating,

urinate. hookers at a ritz-carlton in moscow urinating in the be employing a number of prostitutes to perform golden showers or urination. >> seth: so hannity thought it was a good idea to go on his sh and read in detail the single most embarrassing rumor about his friend, the president. mean, now i know why trump is mad at him. or should i say pissed? [ cheers and applause ] whether it's hannity or pence, anyone who gets close to trump eventually learns his loyalty has a limit. there's really only y to ensure that trump will stand by you no matter what. and that's simple, to pay him off. that's the lesson saudi arabia l rning this week amid a firestorm over the murder of "washington post" columnist and u.s. rident jamal khashoggi. we know for a fact that trump has financial ties to saudi arabia. because he told us. >> i love the saudis. many are in this building. saudi arabia, and i get along great with all of them. they buy apartments from me. s thnd $40 million, $50 million.

am i supposed to dislike them? i like them very much.ud saarabia -- i like the saudis. they're very nice. i make a lot of money with them. they buy all sorts of my stuff. all kinds of toys from trump. >> seth: toys? he soundlike a guy on the street selling knockoff legos. [ laughter ] t "they don't snether. you got to use duct tape." [ laughter ] trump's financial ti to saudi arabia might explain why he's been so reluctant to condemn the kingdom for murdering a journalist and u.s. resident. yesterday, trump was asked why he was siding withhe oppressive regime over his own intelligence agency. and he gave an answer that made no sense whatsoever. ec >>se it's america first to me. it's all about america first.ha >> seth: no,s not america first. that's saudi arabia first. this guy is george orwell's worst nightmare, including the fact that his brain stopped developing in 1984. [ laughter ] the president is an authoritarian who lomands lty and punishes his enemies. he'll turn on even the people closest to him. but he'll and by you as long

[ light laughter ] >> seth: you do?

>> you literally -- you track every -- that's when i started underling the article which is what you do when you start checking something and underline everything you think is a fact. i was like, "oh, every -- every ingredient is -- counts as a fact." m so i guess i got to ask about, "do you put all these things in?" and it was -- you know, my -- my big moment wasinding out that something was not, in fact, seasoned with old bay. it was seasoned with adobe and chili. >> seth: wow. [ laughter ] >> yeah. and that was -- that was -- and but, you k you don't know how much satisfaction i got from then seeing that restaurant review with the correct information. >> setng yeah. >> knohat i had been a part of that. >> seth: that's is -- >> anyways -- >> seth: that's fact checker's dream is to catch one. >> i know. [ laughter ] oh, god. >> seth: yeah. i mean i wou have gotten off the phone. and even though it doesn't make sense, i would have screamed, "stop the presses." [ laughter ] >> quickly! we can't run it like this. bu yeah, no -- and it was it's really like -- i don't know there was something really inspirational about going into g the "new yorker" and seew it's all done. also, i did almost feel like saying at the end, "if you've te

ever gany really low stakes articles you need checking, i'm happy to do that. i'm happy to calout --" the guy i had to call was a very, very nice chef who made my job very easy.ul i 't like to be doing that job if i did have to call, you know, sarah sanders or somebody -- seth: yeah. >> -- who's like, does not want to hear from you. >> seth: yeah, that's true. she might not want to hear from anybody, though.

>> seth: sure, i agree with that. >> i feel like i would be being watched for my reaction. and maybe that is mpletely conceited and egotistical and people wouldn't care. but i do feel like it might -- if i was just surrounded by "harry potter" fans, i would fe like it would be a little odd. >> seth: yeah. and i think it's fair say that if someone is a super "harry potter" fan and they want to see that play, if they're sitting next to daniel radcliffe, that's going to be a distraction from the art. [ laughter ] es. i think so as well. that's true as well. >> seth: yeah. >> there's many reasons to not go in. >> seth: have you considered going in disguise? >> the thing about a disguise is if it stops working, then you're just a dude who wore a disguise. [ laughter ] >> seth: yeah.>> nd i remember there was one year when me and rupert grint de up at -- we were at reading music festival together. and for whatever reason -- 'cause we were young, cool, and wagy, we had somebody -- we had access to old worlii gas masks. so we put them on. and we're running around at a concert. and then it got really hot very quickly. and it was very hard to breathe in them. so we just took them off.

and th everyone went from, "who are those two idiots in gas masks" to, "oh, look who that is." it was not a goofeeling.

[ laughter ] no, but i was -- yeah, so twas s bar. and it was happy hour. and it was a very crowded bar. so i was standing with my back against the bar. and there was this guy passing by from one side of the room to the other. and he was -- well, he recognized me when he was right here. so this is not a nice moment to get recognized. and he -- and maybe recognize this as well. and he said, "you are arjen lubach." and i'm like, "yeah, i kind of know that." you know? eles that happen to you as >> seth: yeah, they want to tell you a thing you've known your whole life. >> yes. >> seth: yeah. [ laughter ] >> as if you have forgotten your own name. they're paying you a service. i'm going to telriyou your name t now. so he said, "you are arjen lubach."

i said, "that's probably true." rid then what happened was he wanted to call hisds over. so he started shouting to the other side of the room. but it was very crowded happy hour bar. so they didn't hear him. sot that point, he looked around. he said, "i want my friend to know that arjen lubach is here so this is the most embarrassing thing that happened to me in a while. what he did was he stood right next to me. he spread his arms. herapped them around me, pressed me against him, lifted me up and carried me through the room to show me to his friends. [ laughter ] so that doesn't happen in new york? >> seth: no. >> so i'm happy. [ laughter ] >> seth: yeah, that's great. i will say, it happens in new york a lot of times for totally differenreasons. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. [ laughter ] >> seth: you've been in this building before though? re i have. yeah, i've been actually i've been here a couple times. the first time i was here i stually -- my former girlfriend, my e broke up with me on the roof of this building. [ laughter ] >> seth: really? >> that's absolutely true. >> seth: wow.

>> she -- we had a relationship. she's here, by the way. but she's my best friend now.'s and -- but s- we had a relationship. and she figured we're best friends. we're not lovers. we're best friends. >> seth: yeah. >> so we should go to new york and break up on top empire state building. >> seth: that's so romantic -- >> yes. >> seth: -- when you are just friends. >> yeah. so i said, "that's the weiinest i ever heard. let's go." so we went up to new york. but it was big line at empire state building. >> so et was -- >> yeah, a lot of people breaking up on the top of there. [ laughter ] >> two hours waiting.so said okay, "i'm fine flying halfway across the world to do this. but i'm not going to wait in line to break up with you." so then we went to t second best which the top of the rock at the rockefeller center. >> seth: yeah. >> so we went up here. she broke up with me. and it was the best thing we ever did. >> seth: that's great. and now, this is true. she works at your show, right? she's your showrunner. she's the showrunner, yeah. >> seth: that's great. i mean that is -- obviously, you guys made the right call on this one. >> yes, we did. we did. i have a new girlfriend. she's -- i want to say she's a lot better. [ laughter ] but she's also nice.

>> seth: i mean, thiis where it's problematic that they're both here. they were both -- no, i think you're handling this great. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> seth: ihould point out -- i should point out that -- >> i have to go now. >> seth: -- this is- if you just said that in dutch and not english, it would have been exactly as bad. [ laughter ] >> okay. >> seth: i want to ask, you did a thing your show that was so good that pretty much every other country, at least in europe, that i know, st which is you -- obviously donald trump was talking about erica first. we mentioned it tonight on the show. you did a video called "netherlands second." >> yeah. >> seth: what was the idea behi this? >> well, it was a response to his remark, "america first." and we figured -- i mean, okay, we cannot change that. he's probably -- he's going to stick to that. so we said spot number two is probably open.ug [ er ] >> seth: yeah. >> yeah, so that's -- >> seth: yeah.pp [ cheers anduse ] >> so then clip called "netherlands second." and we made an introduction to our own country in a style that he would understand.h:

>> seah. >> 'cause it's -- and it's -- it was actually in his voice and his way of speaking. so we -- >> seth: yeah, we actually have a clip. >> yeah. >> seth: here's on "netherlands second." >> this is the absolute dike. g it'sat, great wall that we built to protect us from all the water from mexico. [ laughter ] we built an entire ocean, okay? an entire ocean between us and mexico. nobody builds oceans better than we do. [ eers and applause ] >> seth: fantastic. really well done. >> it was a fun thg. we have this singer in holland. he's like a cult figure. and he's called lee towers. and so we figured -- in the o vi say, "mr. trump, you have the trump towers. we have lee towers." and what happened afterwards, it's a year later or something, they built or rebuilt, this big buildings in rotterdam. two big towers. and i found out -- they said, "do you agree if we call the towers the lee towers?"

so i said, "well, i don't own the name.he but go." [ laughter ] so now because of our stupid video, there are two big in buildingotterdam called "the lee towers." it's such a -- [ laughter ] i >> setseemed like they should have called lee towers. is lee towers still with us? >> yeah. >> seth: okay, good. >> i hope so. >> seth: okay, great. >> i don't know what happened today. but i think so. >> seth: okay, good. [ laughter ] fingers crossed. we'll edit that out if he -- if something -- >> please do. >> seth: i want to say this. sincerely, i livin in amsterdam he late '90s. i went back a lo and there were a lot of failed attempts to do talk shows, late night talkhows. and you seemed to have cracked it which is a great credit to you. what do you think it is about your show that finally managed to make it work over there? >> well, i probably worked on all those you saw that didn't work. so that was a good learning -- >> seth: sure. >> -- period. and, yeah, we -- so -- i don't know, man. we just -- i don't know, man. [ laughter ] ust probably pulled some right strings. i don't know.

we are a weekly show. so that helped. 'cause in holland we don't have the 24 hour news cycle like you have around here. >> seth: sure. we got a lot going on. >> yeah, i was awake last night cause of all the jet lag. so, we can watch any channel, all night. there's always three people fu y makeup talking about t news. >> seth: yeah. we talk about it constantly. >> if you switch on the tv in holland, it's just like a clock.
