From thirty Rockefeller Plaza in New York City, please enjoy this podcast edition of Late Night with Seph Myers. On today's show, Seth talks to actress Emily Blunt, but first, a closer look . Donald Trump insisted that the loud boosts he heard at Game three of the NBA finals were actually cheers while also doubling down on his lie that the elections in California were rigged. For more on this, it's time for a closer look Donald Trump lives in his own world. We all know this. The world he lives in is a world where he looks like this , but the world the rest of us live in is a world where he looks like this. Now , in fairness to Trump, it would be hard to make a statue that looks like that. The only way to make gold, take this shape is by leaving it in a hot car . Like a very hot car . In Trump's alternate reality, he's a world historical genius, and everyone else is dumb. Even though right after he calls someone dumb, he usually immediately follows it up by doing or saying something dumb. Like today, when he was asked about having to work with Democrats in Congress, he called them dumb , was told he needed their votes, and then immediately folded. Democrats say they'll hold up that I don't care what they say. Democrats. They're not Democrats. They're Democrats. They're dumb. Yum, you do their votes . Then I guess something's gonna happen . I don't care about the Democrats. They're dumb, but you need their votes. Day . Trump creates and inhabits his own reality. With its own rules, he even has his own math. In our world, you can only reduce the price of something by one hundred percent max. Once you reduce it one hundred percent, it's free. But in Trump's world, numbers work very differently. I want to get the drug prices down by one thousand percent , twelve hundred percent, five hundred, six hundred, eight hundred, even twelve hundred percent. By twelve hundred, thirteen hundred and even fourteen hundred percent. That five hundred. One thousand percent , six hundred percent , five hundred percent, fifteen hundred percent, by one thousand percent , by nine hundred, six hundred, five hundred , twelve hundred, one hundred, two hundred, three hundred, five hundred , seven hundred , four hundred percent, two hundred percent, six hundred percent, one hundred percent, two hundred percent, three hundred, four hundred, five hundred percent a thousand percent, twelve hundred percent. You could say five, six, seven, eight hundred percent . Four hundred, five hundred, six hundred, seven hundred percent. Four hundred, five hundred and even six hundred percent. You could even say four hundred, five hundred, six hundred or seven hundred percent, depending on the way you ask the question by five hundred, six hundred percent, or eighty percent, or seventy five percent, anyway. It's all about the phrasing of the question. No , it's not math is math. There's no math problem where the answer is five hundred or six hundred or eighty or seventy five. I don't remember that from my AP algebra days. Two trains or three trains or four are traveling toward one another on the same track or different tracks. Whatever, the first trait leaves at five AM, six AM, seven AM, traveling at sixty or eighty or two hundred miles per hour, something like that. The second trait is one hundred and thirty five miles away or nine hundred miles or six million or two feet and leaves whenever the wants, plus the driver's eighty and for hegets where he's supposed to go even though his cognitive test says he's a genius. What time will the collision occur? Please make your answer as vague as humanly possible . Numbers are not subjective . You do not get to have your own math , but in Trump's mind, math can be whatever he wants, and he's surrounded by bootlicking sycophants who reinforce his delusions. President Trump has a different way of calculating. If there's two ways of calculating percentage you. have If a six hundred dollars drug and you reduce it to ten, that's a six hundred percent reduction. It's not. I can't believe I have to explain math to you. I mean, I kind of believe it. You try to eat road kill, but here's the thing. I can't believe I have to explain Matthew. I'm not a math teacher dude, despite the fact that yes, I dress like one, not a full time math teacher, mind you, more like a substitute, a fun substitute who's got other stuff going on, probably a band. We do a few covers, but mostly original stuff, and when I'm leaving your school baby, it's not for long, you know, three days tops and then I'm off to the next town to teach kids not just about math, but life all, through the power of my music . Here's the thing . If you have a six hundred dollar drug and you reduce it to ten dollars, that's a reduction of five hundred ninet andy dollars , which is a reduction of ninety eight percent. Here, let me show you. five hundred and ninety, divided by six hundred equals ninety eight point three three. I did this myself. I was up all night scouring advanced algebra textbooks, conducting a series of intricate mathematical proofs. Oh, wait, I forgot, I used the calculator on my phone . And let me just say that if you had decreased the price of drugs ninety eight percent, that would be awesome. But of course, you haven't done that either. He's out here making up math about stuff that is also made up. And of course, I'm falling into the trap of focusing on math instead of the lie. It's like if he held up a chart saying unicorn horns were forty percent longer this year. And I said, that looks like twenty five percent longer top . Anyway, the point is Trump inhabits his own reality with its own rules, which is why I wasn't even remotely surprised to hear him say that actually , the booze he received at Madison Square Garden on Monday night were really cheers. It wasn't much of a warm welcome for the presidents at game three of the NBA finals last night. The crowd loudly booed when Trump was shown on the jumbo tron at Madison Square Garden in New York City. City . What did you think of your reception you'd offer the next fast month? I thought it was great. It was, I think, mostly cheers. Oh, dude . You're not just wrong. You're wrong by six hundred percent . Those were not mostly cheers . That was very clear and distinct booing unless the crowd saw Spike Lee and they were saying Doo the right thing . Not a great time in this nation when someone says, Hey, we should cut to the president during the National Anthem, right? And the response is, I wouldn't . The only way he could think those were mostly cheers was if his staff slipped a pair of noise canceling headphones onto his head and played cheering sounds. I mean, I guess to make it less noticeable, they would make them like the color of his hair or just like maybe just big old ears . Point is Trump inhabits his own reality where math is whatever he wants it to be, and Nick's fans love him. And once again, his bootlicking sycophants got to work. I think the president had about half the stadium in New York City, which is pretty amazing. There were people cheering, and I'll challenge anybody on that. I was sitting right there. Oh man, I wish you'd brought a microphone because we couldn't hear that . And even if you did hear a few cheers, that doesn't change what the rest of us heard from the entire stadium. But if you thought Kilmeed's attempt to soothe Trump's ego couldn't get any more delusional, brace yourself. How you say that I was hugging enough to go to the game last night and it was loud. It was reminded me more of Tyson. When Tyson stepped into an arena, the place would erupt. I wouldn't know if it was cheers or it was just like action . So the president did get a good response. It's so funny to say that you couldn't tell if it was cheers or booze. It was just action. It's like if my agent called me and said, Good news, you're on the front page. You're getting a lot of action. Here's the headline, local man pants on F train after sitting on his own balls . But there's one more thing I have to address. He had a great time and loved every minute of it. This is a president. There's a true Nick Fan. This is a guy. He's a fundament ally, he just loves big games. Yeah, he had a great time. He loves the knicks, he loves big games. You could tell he was living and dying with every play. In fact, he was so nervous he couldn't even open his eyes . I don't know what you're thinking that,'s guy definitely asleep. If he was any more asleep, they would have made a raff . Seriously, dude . You shut down Midtown Manhattan made everyone go through two hours of TSI style security just so you could take a nap in game three of the NBA finals . When I saw this clip, I made the same face Mike Blueberg name when Jose Alvarado crashed into it. And it's not like Trump wasn't caffeinated. A white house reporter wrote that Trump was seen taking sips from what appeared to be a diet Coke bottle. The NBA has an exclusive contract with Pepsi, so someone had to bring it in for him because you can't get coke at MSG. So everyone gets inconvenience because you decide to go to the game and you won't even drink your second choice soda . Next time this guy says Iran is being unreasonable in negotiations, remember, he basically said, well, if they don't have d ie cook, I'm not going to go. So Trump invented an alternate reality where he got cheered at the Nix game that he was definitely awake at, just like he's inventing an alternate reality where Republicans are only losing in California because the election is rigged. The election was rigged . It was a dirty election. And it's happening again right now in California. Presented evidence happening now in California. Right now it's looked at what's happening in California to that election was totally rigged. It was a rigged election, just like they're rigging the election right now it looks like in California. Can you imagine it's four days and they still aren't even close to telling you who won? You know why? Because they're rigging the election. That's why you see it happening in California . Those numbers are coming down rapidly. They found a lot of mail in ballots last night shockingly . So we don't want that. Yeah, they found the mail in ballots in the mailbox. You know, where people sent them. And now they're going to count them. California relies disproportionately on mail ballots for many reasons. One, they want to make it easy for people to vote. And two, people don't want to drive to their polling place because gas is so expensive. If you want people to vote in person, then maybe you should start making it cheaper to fill a tank of gas than it is to get to the NBA finals. And yes, Spencer Pratt received a ton of pre election attention due to being a disgr realacityed star, but he was still a Republican in a very Democratic city. I mean, California, the state is less liberal than L. A. And therefore, it makes sense that Steve Hilton, a Republican did make the final two in the race for governor. If anything is strange about Steve Hilton, it's he was born in England and has a British accent. But then I remembered when it comes to governors, this has happened before in California . But again, just like in the case of Trump's fake math or his fake cheers, Trump's lick spiddles are jumping in to affirm his delusions about voting. The way that they're coming in just so happens to work out such that the Republican is getting kicked out of the final two. So it's a Democrat versus Democrat runoff . That seems pretty shady to me . You had wide changes after election night in the results of an election . And for days and weeks later and for days and weeks later, they just keep finding ballot s and finding ballots until the election results change. That look , whether you can prove fraud or not, it does undermine voter integrity in the vote. No, it doesn't. You're the ones undermining voter inte grity. You guys are the ones who make up. Then when people believe you, you say it's a problem that people believe that we made up. You have an open floor to prove that there's fraud. Give us a single piece of evidence, anything. Instead, you keep saying obvious BS like this. What evidence is there to prove that they don't break? I don't think some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it is impossible to prove. Let me tell you, it's four days and they aren't even close to coming up. That's how they can. You know why they're doing that? Because they're cheating on the election. There's what do you have evidence? All I have to do is look. All I have to do is look . Well, the problem is we don't trust the way you look based on the way you listen. It was, I think, mostly cheers . Also, Mike Johnson, what the fuck are you talking about? You know there's a plot to ring the election, but that plot is so diabolical and so upstream that you can't prove the plot you're certain exists. What does that even mean? You sound like a Nix fan who thinks there's a conspiracy to give Wemby the trophy. This goes all the way to the top man. It's so diabolical. It's so upstream. NBA game was super serum and makes him so tall. That's why he keeps growing by five hundred, six hundred, seven hundred percent. And it's not just California. Even in Texas, Republicans are spreading wild conspiracy theories about James Talerico, the Democratic candidate for Senate. They've called him a woke transgender vegan , none of which is true. Now they're saying he's not manly enough for Texas. I gotta say if you were making a list a thousand adjectives to describe this guy , masculine would not be one of them . I mean this guy if a stiff breeze came by, it would blow him over like a feather . A stiff breeze would blow him over like a feather, whereas when I feel a stiff breeze, I know that can be the first sign of an impending storm, which means I'm off to Cancu. And I'm sorry, Ted Cruz , Ted Cruz , are you under the impression that you're masculine just because you grew two thirds of a beard ? This is why prices are high, or the war with Iran is still happening. Trump gets stuck in his own delusions, and everyone around him says he's right, whether it's math or voting or getting booed at the NBA finals, Trump's lies keep going up. By twelve hundred, thirteen hundred and even fourteen hundred percent. This has been a closer look . Hey, it's to be found. And Key home. Don't miss passwords. Last season had hilarious moments like this. Under wear . Ladder hose in? What ? And this season Kiki's the password is. Fun with your favorite celebrities. Yeah, but the password is our best season yet. Right, but the single password is amazing. Amazing was my name. It was great though. That was great. Yeah. Password is back.

Day drinking with Rihanna, dinner party with J Snoowhn. And then you talking about how you met John Pete. Krasinski. John Not John Snow. Yeah , yeah . They do.

Thank you, sir. We've been there . This is very cool if you were.

They're like, they don't even it's not even like you're saying, they're like, You ever seen the hungover Emily video. They're like, she got mandup. I think they did a day drinking they didn't film, and then she came on a show and talked. Quite like to do dating. Would you? Do you think you'd be good at it? I feel like I naturally don't tend to day drink 'cause I need a nap by four people. Yeah . But that's the point, isn't it? Oh, you take a nap by four. I can guarantee you will be taking a nap at four. The problem with day drinking you take a nap at four, this is from my experience of doing. You take a nap at four and then at six PM you wake up like this . Yeah . Yeah. And a bit angry Angry, sad, all the worst emotions. You never wake up two hours later and you're like nailed it This is a very cool. It's a big movie. It's a big summer movie. It's Steven Spielberg. Who's that? I know .

He's just the sweetest, most wonderful person. He does not wear the skin of I'm Steven Spielberg. Like he's just, which we all stare at him like those student realm. Right. Like he's so wonderful . We share an enduring love, I heard for the film Jaws. Do you love it as much? I love it. And I'm wondering because I think your girls are a little bit older than my boys, but my eight year old wanted to watch it, so we showed it to him last year. How did you do? He did great, but it was he did great and it was so much fun to watch because he was so scared but he loved how scared he was. Really? You know what I mean? Like he was like What was that like jump stairs and the bit with the head coming? Yeah the, head was there there ,'s a weird memories they go in the boat and the body comes. He was really confused by that. So it was both he was scared, but then he was like, who was that? And I'm like, I don't just, it's not important. Just keep watching. The only thing you need to worry about is these three guys in the shark . Did you love it as a kid? I did love it as a kid. I really did it made you funny about the ocean? No, I feel like if the ocean is coming to get me, come and get me. Really? Yeah, I'm like, what I mean, first of all, I should note, I don't like being in the ocean to begin with. I don't like being in the ocean. Yeah, like , by the way, if there was no sharks, I'd still be like, What's the point of this? See, John and I are very different. John was like pot dolphin and would just be in there. That's why I married a dolphin lady as well. I'm kind of good not yeah I'm kind of good not getting in a swimming pool. Oh interesting. I mean, I'll do a swimming pool. Yeah, I don't I should know. I don't really care . L inike the summer when people are like, Oh my God, I'm so dying. We got to go in the water. I'm like, then go . But like, don't drag the rest of us to that awful sandy place. And don't ask you that question after you've been day drinking. Oh, I know. You don't want me in the water after I've been day drinking. See, I well, I will say I like a pool because it's like we figured out the ocean without waves and there you go. You like this works . This is what I enjoy . You also , this is a really good crush I ' thinkcause this I'm surprised more people don't have the Roy Scheider cook. Guys, this guy, this is the guy right here. Guys, come on, give it up for Schider. Yeah . I mean , I know. Shirtless, I can't get enough of them shirtless. Can't get enough of them throwing in the universe. I wish he was around to hear me say it. Cannot get enough of it. Yes. Leather. He has like just like a leather Carthian leather leather bag . He looks like the back seat in my dad's first car . Did you ever see a Marathon man? Have you seen Marathon man because he's oh, he's oh hot . Yeah. Do you know, I was just in Ireland and when they think someone's sexy, they go, oh, he's a ride Royce is a ride yeah . They're gonna have my own little Roy Schneider. Yeah, we look, I mean, you have a type. There's a vibe. Yeah, there's a type. Yeah, you were like , I feel like somebody told him, you know who she's really into. And he's like, all right , I'll dress like that for my next one. Exactly. Like he's a ride too. He's a ride. Yeah, congrats. Congratulations on your ride. Thanks . This is a you've done obviously movies about extraterrestrials before. Yeah, which is strange because I have this sort of aversion to I had this aversion to space growing up. So no space, no water. No . You're just like a land person like me . Exactly. Like I remember even being , do you remember the James Bond in space? Yeah. Moonraker. Yeah. I don't want to see that. I want to see him rolling around on a beach. Yeah. With a hot girl. Yeah. With a ride. I don't want to I never like, I don't ever wanna see a sexy person doing this. No way , no way. And not with a martini, it's like oh, come on. Oh, come on. Give me a break. That's not why I came to James Bond. Exactly to eat it. I was very young when it came out, but if I was older, I would have been like, . And isn't the Baddy Jaws in it as he's in a silver onesie? No thanks. No, thank you. Boy. Don't want to. I feel bad for the people who made Moonraker. Really guys. They caught a lot of strays as we talked about our movies from the past. I have a lot more to ask and be right back when more Emily Blunt . Welcome back. We're here with Emily Blonde. I have a curiosity because the few times I've met Steven , I'm always like, you know, I'm aware that people want to ask him about his movies all the time. You're spending more time with them, but of course he's working, you're working. He loves movie stories. So he's happy to give them. Oh, we dawk out with him. Yeah, things like, were they really eating that in temple of Doom? And how did you do the spiders and like, I mean, it's just heaven. That's fantastic. Very, very sweet. I mean , I always feel like those people who've lived an interesting life that then are happy to share the stories are loves it. Yeah, it's the best. He loves it. I mean, we've really geeked out being around him. You have, I mean, you know, again , you've made some scary films, right? A quiet place is a scary film and you have children. Have they watched, do they like shark movies? Alien movies ? My children are scared of Harry Potter ? Okay. That is by the way, not an unscary movie, but I think a good bellweather if they can if they can't get through Harry Potter, it eliminates like eighty percent of the other movies. I'm very clear on what they can get through. Yeah, yeah. Do you guys like do you try to limit like what they watch? And are you and John in sync of like this is a good movie and this isn't a good movie? My problem is with my father in law, like I have all these like movies that I'm like so excited to show my sons when they get old enough and then they find out that like their grandfather showed him it like two years ago. Your father in law is the best. I know. And by the way, this is a real problem. You can watch anything. I know, but like he'll be like, they watched like dumb and dumber and they were like eight and six . And then it was like my dad. My dad would bring home like pretty women when I was Yeah ten, you know? The worst is every time I say to them like, dude, you're not supposed to show me that. He's like, they loved it. That's not I did it. They wouldn't love it. I loved pretty women. Yeah. And when she fans out all the condoms who was from. I was like, Dad, what are those? And he was like, Those are sweets. Those are chocolates. I was like and then you had to go to the hospital the next week 'cause you ate like a bag full of condoms, right? Yeah, for sure . Nobody ever thinks about how find those things. Yeah. They're like, well, this is an embarrassing thing to tell you but your d,aughter ate a bag full of condoms and told us they were sweets. And he's like, I don't know where they got that. Jurassic Park, did that scare you? Well, yeah. I mean, I remember seeing that at twelve and I knew they were playing Fern Gully at the theater next door and I remember crying and begging my sister to take me to see Fern Gully, but no we weren't. It was really interesting that those movies I kind of forgot they were playing at the same time . You could really choose like column A, column B
