walton goggins, an all-new "closer look," featuring the 8g band with aric improta. ♪ [ cheers and applause ] and now, seth meyers. >> seth: good evening. i'm seth meyers, this is "late night." we hope you're doing well. and now if you don't mind, i'm going to get to the news. former president trump suggested this week that he was open to cutting social security and medicare. dude, you're 77. those should be your favorite things right now. [ laughter ] and let's be real, you could use the cash. [ laughter ] the republican national committee is reportedly imposing mass layoffs, or as fox news is reporting it, "unemployment rises under president biden." [ laughter ] a video's gained attention online that appears to show former president trump ignoring his 10-year-old grandson at a ufc match this weekend in order to talk to other attendees. in his defense, i'm sure he had no idea that was his grandson. [ laughter ]

the house passed a bill today that would force tiktok's chinese parent company to sell the social media platform or face a domestic ban. well, if you guys are worried about the chinese gathering data on americans, wait till you find out who makes the phones. [ laughter ] a school board in texas voted last week to suspend the district's superintendent after a transgender student was removed from a high school production of "oklahoma!" good, because if you start removing lgbtq+ students, what you'll end up with is a terrible musical. [ laughter ] wise up. a 12-year-old boy who was reported missing in ohio was recently found safe at a target after he spent the night inside the store. his parents came to pick him up and somehow ended up spending $300. [ laughter ] how does it happen? elon musk today visited the tesla factory in germany which suspended operations earlier this month after a suspected arson attack.

why would an arsonist waste their time? if you want a tesla to catch fire, you know, just wait a few minutes. [ laughter ] the retailer dollar tree announced plans today to close nearly 1,000 of its family dollar stores. wow, a thousand stores. that could affect almost a thousand cashiers. [ laughter ] according to a new survey, the average man feels insecure more than 900 times a year. well, make it 901 because i didn't know everyone else was counting. [ laughter ] 900. how many times was i insecure? i think 900. [ light laughter ] and finally, the fast food chain taco bell announced yesterday it will close its dining rooms at multiple locations in oakland, california, due to crime in that area. of course, the biggest crime is calling this a dining room. [ laughter ] and that was the monologue, everybody. we are off and running. [ cheers and applause ] we've got a fantastic show for you tonight.

she's an academy award-nominated actress you know from "spencer," the "twilight" movies, and "still alice." she's currently starring in "love lies bleeding" which is in theaters everywhere this weekend. my friend kristen stewart is back on the show, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] and he's an amazing emmy-nominated actor you know from "the hateful eight" and shows like "the righteous gemstones," "justified," and his latest series, "fallout," which is on prime video next month. walton goggins is back on the show. [ cheers and applause ] so happy to have him here. but before we get to all that, a congressional hearing into joe biden's handling of classified information backfired on republicans when the special counsel confirmed that biden actually had a photographic recall, and conceded that there were clear reasons why donald trump was indicted, while biden wasn't. meanwhile, a key witness in the trump case came forward and revealed the suspicious behavior he saw in a bombshell interview. for more on this, it's time for "a closer look." ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: for some reason, attorney general merrick garland gave republicans exactly what

they wanted when he appointed robert hur as special counsel to investigate biden's handling of classified documents. hur is a registered republican who clerked for a conservative supreme court justice and was originally nominated to be a u.s. attorney by donald trump. in fact, he reportedly got help from right-wing operatives connected to donald trump to prepare for his testimony yesterday. although i can't imagine what kind of advice he got from trump world. did they show him trump's courtroom sketches to prepare? "all right, the best way to make yourself seem trustworthy and credible during testimony is to grimace like you're passing a gallstone, [ laughter ] grimace like you're passing a second, bigger gallstone, [ laughter ] grimace like you just saw your wife having sex with grimace, [ laughter ] then hold your hands up like you're just waiting for them to slap the cuffs on you." [ laughter ] in fact, the lawyer hur got to help him represented three trump white house officials including steve bannon. if i ever need legal help, i personally would not hire a guy who also represented steve bannon. steve and i have nothing in common. except that we're both pioneers in the field of dressing casually for jobs where most people wear suits. [ laughter ]

although i prefer to wear my clothes sequentially instead of, you know, all at once. [ laughter ] i would never wear two collared shirts on top of each other the way bannon does, the look popular with '80s movie villains who say things like, "aren't you a little poor for the yacht club, gordo?" [ laughter ] the point is, republicans got exactly the kind of prosecutor they would want -- a registered republican with a history in right-wing politics and connections to g.o.p. figures. and yet even that guy wrote in his report that, "no criminal charges are warranted in this matter," and "the evidence suggests that biden did not willfully retain these documents." hur even went so far as to explain in very specific detail why trump was charged but biden wasn't. >> hur did make this distinction in his report, and i quote here, "several material distinctions between mr. trump's case and mr. biden's are clear." >> special counsel robert hur's report even included this distinction -- quote, "after being given multiple chances to return

classified documents and avoid prosecution, mr. trump allegedly did the opposite. according to the indictment, he not only refused to return the documents for many months, but he also obstructed justice by enlisting others to destroy evidence and then to lie about it. in contrast, mr. biden turned in classified documents to the national archives and the department of justice, consented to the search of multiple locations including his homes, sat for a voluntary interview, and in other ways cooperated with the investigation." >> seth: yeah, that was such a concise and logical summary of the situation that i'm surprised he didn't end it with a call-back clip, "and this has been a closer look." [ laughter ] by the way, that's how long the "closer looks" would be if we took out all the insane tangents, but don't hold your breath, baby. [ laughter ] the differences between the two cases are obvious. biden gave his documents back immediately and cooperated in every possible way, while trump lied, obstructed investigators, moved documents, insisted they were his, and kept them hidden in that weird mar-a-lago bathroom that has one fancy

thing for every cheap thing. "beautiful chandelier. plastic trash can with bag showing. crystal light fixture. kleenex still in the box. ornate gold mirror. nursing home toilet. [ laughter ] fine marble countertop. weird high windows you gotta jump to see out of." and of course, worst of all, the $5 shower curtain. this just speaks to how brazen trump was. the only reason to have a shower curtain like that is to hide [ bleep ] in the shower. but he was like, "no, you can stack the boxes in front." [ laughter ] why does he have a cheap shower curtain in there? that's where you hide a risque poster in your college dorm when your parents come to visit. "what's back there? a poster with an alien smoking weed that says, 'take me to your dealer'?" [ laughter ] that was pretty good, ha ha ha ha! "do you not get it, gordo?" [ laughter ]

and yet amazingly, republicans actually think this makes trump look good. here's what james comer, the g.o.p. chairman of the oversight committee, said last night on fox. >> you look at how donald trump is being treated. he had documents in one location behind a locked door. >> seth: okay, first of all, the bathrooms in a person's house are usually only locked if someone is in there. so the republican argument is basically, "don't worry, our national security secrets were safe as long as donald trump was in the can." which, sure, based on his diet, is probably most of the time. [ laughter ] but still, he's got to come out to eat. second, none of that is true. trump had more than 300 classified documents scattered around an active social club with over 150 employees where anyone can pay to be a member or attend a social event, like a fundraiser, or a wedding, or a pre-funeral for rudy giuliani. [ light laughter ] "hey, rudy? we're going to put you in the casket now to save time." "hey, i just got evicted from my apartment, so this is great, and it's bigger!" [ laughter ] also, i have no idea why you'd want to have your wedding at mar-a-lago of all places.

i mean, maybe you couldn't afford chuck e. cheese. that's not fair. a wedding at chuck e. cheese would [ bleep ] kick ass. for one thing, the animatronic chuck won't interrupt your wedding to rant about voting machines or windmills killing birds. >> you want to see a bird graveyard? go under a windmill someday. [ light laughter ] >> seth: yeah! you're not going to get a chuck e. cheese tangent like that from old robert hur! [ laughter ] you wouldn't have the courage! so hur was everything republicans could have hoped for, but they were still mad at him. sean hannity even compared it to another investigation republicans are still obsessed with. >> today to me was the equivalent of july 2016 and james comey going out there stating, yeah, hillary had top secret classified information, 33,000 deleted emails, bleach pit, hammers, devices, everything we learned, but no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute. is that pretty similar? >> that's very similar. exact same.

>> seth: oh my god, you guys are still talking about hillary clinton all these years later? get over it, dudes. you're like people who are still complaining about the ending of "lost" when smart people know "lost" never ended. i don't have time to explain it now, so check out my two-hour youtube video, "'lost' is still going, you're just not trying hard enough to see it." [ laughter ] there's no comparison to the trump case. in fact, the previously unnamed witness in the trump indictment just came forward and revealed to the world that he saw some very shady behavior involving boxes of classified documents being moved onto a plane. >> i just spoke exclusively with one of the central witnesses in one of the biggest cases, criminal cases i should note, in american history -- the trump classified documents case. until now, he has been known to the world as "trump employee 5," as a mar-a-lago valet, and special counsel jack smith's superseding indictment. he's referenced six times in it. and he has never spoken out publicly until now. >> we got to the airport. i ended up loading all the luggage i had and he had a bunch

of boxes. >> you noticed that he had boxes? >> oh, yeah. they were the boxes that were in the indictment. the white bankers boxes. that's what i remember loading. >> how many boxes was it? >> they asked me in the interview, and i believe it was -- 10 to 15 is what i remember. >> did you ever think to yourself, why were there so many boxes at mar-a-lago? >> for me, i'm just thinking, oh, the former president, he has a lot of stuff he likes to lug around with him. >> do you ever remember seeing those boxes come back to mar-a-lago? >> i don't. i do not. >> seth: wait, so boxes of classified documents were loaded onto a plane and never returned to mar-a-lago? where are they now? trump tower? russia? are they just doing laps on a luggage belt at newark airport? oh, god, was it an alaska airlines flight? oh, no. [ laughter ] oh, that would explain why everyone in the portland area is suddenly an expert on nuclear submarines. [ laughter ] "i almost built my own nuke but the last part was covered in ketchup stains!" that's my oregon accent. "hey! [ laughter ]

hey, you're in portland now, baby!" [ light laughter ] i have a real ear for regions. [ laughter ] also, can we go back to this part? >> he has a lot of stuff he likes to lug around with him. >> seth: of course he does. look at this lugger. [ laughter ] if steve harvey asked you to name something donald trump looks like he does in his spare time, "lug" would definitely be a top five answer on the board. even the way he walks looks like someone lugging two invisible suitcases. [ laughter ] so that's the reality of the trump case versus the biden case, but of course the media latched on to hur's completely gratuitous claim that biden would present himself to a jury as a "sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory." a claim that was contradicted by the transcript of biden's interview and by hur yesterday, himself, when he was asked about biden's memory. >> you said to president biden, "you have -- appear to have a photographic understanding and recall of the house."

did you say that to president biden? >> those words do appear on page 47 of the transcript. >> "photographic" is what you said, is that right? >> that word does appear on page 47 of the transcript. >> never appeared in your report, though, is that correct? the word "photographic"? >> that does not appear in my report. >> seth: wait, i'm sorry, joe biden has a photographic understanding and recall but you didn't put that in your report? why? that's way more shocking than saying he has a poor memory. it doesn't surprise me at all that an 81-year-old has trouble remembering some names or dates. but if you're telling me joe biden has a photographic recall, then that is the twist of the [ bleep ] century. [ laughter ] that should be breaking news on cnn. [ laughter and applause ] although biden does seem like one of those grandpas who remembers exactly what temperature he had the thermostat set to in every room before you messed with it. "folks, hey folks, folks, you got the living room jacked up to 72 degrees. [ laughter ] i had it at a cool 68, i'm not

kidding around here. you got to put it back, jack. i don't want my ice cream to melt." [ laughter ] now to contrast how well their brains function, democrats at yesterday's hearing aired not one but two montages of trump glitching at his rallies. and while they were effective, i gotta say, i was a little irked. that's our thing, guys. we've been doing that for nine years. our researchers have spent so much time sifting through videotape of trump's brain exploding, they're scarred for life. you cannot outdo us, congress, when it comes to a trump montage. so don't try. because we can always out-montage you. [ laughter ] in fact, i'm going to prove it right now. hopefully this won't be too long. you guys watch, and i'll keep myself occupied. roll it, alex. >> they're weaponizing law enforcement for high-level election interference against joe biden's top and only political appointment. a guy named me. john has total respect for

donald trump and for donald trump's very, very large a-brain. saudi arabia and russia will be -- oh -- 10,000 known or suspes-ted gang members. the wheel is older than the wall, you know that? every single car out there, even the really expenses ones controlled by large derners. unelected regulatores. and regulators. our hope is a word and world. authority and authoritarian powers. beating expectations in the house for the midtown and midterm year. [ laughter ] they sacrifice every day for the furniture -- future of their children. when they gaze upon yo-semites, yo-seminites, towering sequoias. we did with obama, we won an election that everyone said couldn't be won. they're going to change the name of pennsylvania. you know how you spell us, right?

you spell us "u-s." i just picked that up. i hope they now go and take a look at the oranges. the oranges of the -- investigation. the beginnings. the mueller report, i wish covered the oranges, how it started. >> so you don't remember saying you have one of the best memories? >> i don't remember that. >> one of the great memories of all-time. it's called, like, up here. gang, boop, this is me. i hear bing. if you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations. they say the noise causes cancer. [ laughter ] you told me that one. r-r-r-r. nikki haley is in charge of security. nancy pelosi, or nancy as i call her. we appreciate it very much, tim apple. did you just see meduro, venez-where -- it's unbelievable. you have voter i.d. to buy a loaf of bread. people are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times. ding ding ding ding ding, shin pooh. god bless the united shates.

[ laughter ] >> seth: look, i drew an entirely new trump courtroom sketch. [ cheers and applause ] there is obviously no equivalence between these two, either in the way they handled classified documents, or in the way their brains function. don't take from it me, take from it robert hur and congressional democrats. although we can certainly back them up. because when it comes to trump's most embarrassing moments, we here at "late night" have a -- >> photographic understanding and recall. >> seth: this has been "a closer look." ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: we'll be right back with kristen stewart. ♪ >> announcer: for more of seth's "closer looks," be sure to subscribe to "late night" on youtube.

[ laughter ] >> i -- yeah. i mean, who's -- who's watching? like everyone? >> seth: yeah, everyone. >> it's like a tv thing? anyone who's worked with me before is probably laughing right now. >> seth: okay, gotcha. [ laughter ] so this is a thing they've seen? >> yeah, you know. i like to tie one on. make things harder for myself. adversity, you know. >> seth: you are. i like that you like to set up a challenge -- but i'm now going to actually tie that to this wonderful movie, "love lies bleeding." and i've heard, i've read about you, that you have very discerning taste with the roles you take on. and part of it is you want to make sure you can play it. like, you want to make sure you're the right choice for a part? >> yes. i don't want to be an irresponsible loser and tell a great director, that, "yeah, i'll come hang out," if i don't want to hang out. >> seth: gotcha. so this one though was this a script that right way you realized, "oh, this is -- these are going to converge, like, what i'm good at and what this is asking for?"

>> it was a relief to read the script because i'm so obsessive about the filmmaker, rose glass, who made a movie called "saint maud." and when she asked me to do this, i was like, yes, but that's irresponsible. i must read the script and know that i can accomplish job. it what such its own fingerprint, its own identity, i felt like it was a movie that was in a time capsule. yes, it's a period piece but it feels like a movie that actually was made in the '80s versus like a movie made now about the '80s. >> seth: yes, that's a really good point. >> yeah. i just -- i was -- yeah. i was like so -- i had such a blast on this movie. it was almost -- we did reshoots, which is usually not -- >> seth: right, usually when you go to a reshoot, it's like, "hey, we watched the movie and it's missing major parts." >> yeah. >> seth: like, "we forgot to do a scene where everybody has names. [ laughter ] we have to go back and say what everybody's names are." [ light laughter ] >> right. we're being impersonal. we didn't call each other by name. no, we did reshoots and i wanted to keep going. i was like, "can we do five more of these movies?"

>> seth: oh, that's really great. >> yeah. >> seth: there is, when you talk about it being a period piece, because there is like a certain retro style, you know, even retro cars. so it took me a minute till there's a pay phone. i'm like, "oh, this is happening in the past." >> yeah. >> seth: have you ever in your life used a pay phone? >> yes. >> seth: really? >> yes. >> seth: okay. >> yeah, i -- i am the age where i had -- i understand the clicky texting of like a, b, c, like the nokia breaky things, yeah. i'm old. >> seth: yeah, yeah, yeah.

[ light laughter ] this was ed harris' idea to have the look -- the long hair in the back. >> a skullet. >> seth: a skullet. [ laughter ] i'm so -- of everything i have received from you in the last two days, the fact that i will walk out with "skullet" in my head now is the -- [ light laughter ] so he decided on the skullet, and you did not know this. this was a choice he made independently. he's playing your dad in the film. and then what was your reaction when you saw the look he decided on? >> "whoa."

[ laughter ] >> seth: but isn't it also, like, fairly close to your own? >> yeah, yeah. i mean, my character has -- not my mullet, my dad's real skullet. [ light laughter ] my character has a lot of really deep-seated daddy issues. and i don't. >> seth: yeah. >> but they look alike, and so then they started trying to percolate and i was like, "no, no. no, no. me and my dad are good."

[ laughter ] there's a real relief when you walk out with a full face. >> i have so much gratitude for my nose. >> seth: yes. i would imagine doing a show like that without the nose makes you really go, "god, it's so good." >> wake in the morning and go, "oh, i love you, you're so beautiful. you're so beautiful." >> seth: that is a -- it's a real look and it's a real great look. >> it's a look, yeah. yeah. i -- when i -- we were -- like two minutes into this zoom call i was having with jonathan nolan -- >> seth: he's the show runner, the show creator, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. and the writers and i said, "i'm in, i'm in." he said, "well, don't you want to read a script?" i said, "yeah, sure, yeah, whatever." he said, "you want to know what you're playing, what the character is?" i said, "yeah, great, go ahead, tell me." and he said, "he's 200 years

250 years old and had been walking the wasteland? and had been drinking all night?" >> seth: and you know what? >> hey! >> seth: i can see the inspiration. [ laughter ] it's really funny. i like the way you describe it, the way you would to go get a haircut "give me, like, kris kristofferson, but like 200 years old, no nose." >> oh, my god, it was five hours in the chair the first time. >> seth: i was going to ask that question. it does seem like -- >> it was long. >> seth: you've been traveling a lot lately for very good reasons. you are in the third season of "white lotus" filming now in thailand.

you've got to stop somewhere on the way to thailand. >> it's a really cool exhibit. and you know, some wine and steak frites and all that. and i go see this art show and it's extraordinary. it's life changing. for half of it. and then halfway through it, i realized, like, i started having a panic attack. like, this is not good. this is horrible. because i -- i couldn't stop thinking about all the other cast members checking into the white lotus and all of them having a much better room than me. >> seth: oh, my god. [ laughter ] >> like literally. it's like, they're going to have sea views, and i'm going to be looking at the back of a restaurant. it was horrible. >> seth: you've thrown it all away to go to some lousy art show. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. who stops in paris? you just go straight to the white lotus, yeah >> seth: i like that you think the way my in-laws do on vacation. literally. [ laughter ] the amount of like stress about like what, who's getting what room, yeah. >> yeah, well, i mean, it's a big deal for actors. it's -- "oh, wow, you're going to have a much better time than i am." >> seth: yeah. and how was your room when you got there? >> it's amazing. >> seth: okay, good.

[ laughter ] >> there's not a bad room. >> seth: all right, so it turns out. >> right. >> seth: that's true. i've seen a couple of seasons of "white lotus." there's never a plot about somebody's got -- oh, no, i guess there's a major plot about a bad room. so i take it all back.

[ laughter ] >> seth: and then, you were in south by southwest. >> i was. >> seth: for a really cool reason. >> we were doing a "fallout" activation. >> seth: yeah. >> but the main reason was my wife just premiered her first film. >> seth: she directed the film? [ cheers ] >> she wrote -- yeah. she wrote and directed the film. >> seth: that's amazing. >> you know, the thing is we've been together for 19 years. and she, you know, was writing when we met. and so, she's been trying to do this for 20 years. and she did it. and she told -- it's called "the uninvited." and it says some very profound things about this life. >> seth: you were in it as well? >> yeah, yeah. and pedro pascal. >> seth: fantastic. great actor. [ cheers ] >> right? rufus sewell. >> seth: oh, that's wonderful. >> elizabeth reaser. lois smith.

>> seth: excellent, excellent. did you enjoy being directed by your wife? >> uh -- we made it through. we're not divorced. >> seth: okay. [ laughter ] >> it's hard. it's hard, right? >> seth: yeah. >> there's a lot there. >> seth: yeah. my wife's not in the business. directs me every day. >> every day, yeah, yeah. [ light laughter ] it's a -- well, i mean -- but there's like a -- whenever you're -- we've been around. you do independent films. >> yeah, yeah. >> you have a director and a first-time director and you think, "you know what, i can anticipate some of these problems, i can solve it. i can help them." but when it's your wife or your spouse. >> seth: yes. >> there's a different line that you don't cross, right? so it's like, "okay, baby. just tell me what." >> seth: i also want to talk about baby billy from "righteous gemstones." this is one of the great characters. [ cheers and applause ] just, i mean -- i can't believe we lived in a world before baby billy. but again, a look was inspired by somebody? >> yeah, it's an amalgamation of a lot of different people. but it's really kind of like my dad. >> seth: okay. >> yeah.

it's like my father. he's a strange dude. my dad's a strange guy. >> seth: no, he's not a strange guy. we have a picture of him and he's normal, he's a normal person. >> yeah. [ laughter ] he wears turquoise on every single finger. >> seth: has he done that for a long time? >> for a long time. like this outfit probably weighs 150 pounds. [ laughter ] for real. >> seth: i love it, though. i mean, just the confidence in -- he seems like a guy who's owning it. >> owning it, that's his whole kind of vibe. and he's like -- all of the turquoise and all of the tassels. and i brought him to new york, actually. >> seth: uh-huh. >> and he -- he walks around, like people were taking photos of him as if he'd been living here his whole life. and he carries these pictures of himself that he signed, you know -- [ laughter ] -- in his pocket. and so like even if somebody -- >> seth: sorry, your father is not a celebrity? >> no, no. >> seth: but he carries photos of himself just in case somebody asks him to sign one? >> oh, absolutely. [ laughter ] and it's not just him. like, like, like for instance, somebody kind of -- even if they're looking at him, he'll

just go, "hello, my name is walton sanders goggins, and here's a picture of myself. [ light laughter ] i signed it, you can have that right there." >> seth: he pre-signs it? >> he pre-signs it. and not only that, then he says, "and this right here, this is my son. his name is also walton sanders goggins, and here's a picture of him. [ light laughter ] and i signed that too." [ laughter ] and i'm like, "that's forgery, man." that's not my signature. >> seth: that is, but that's so -- what a wonderful thing to have a dad who's so proud. >> it is. it is a wonderful thing, yeah. he's -- you know what? he's a funny guy. he's so -- he's so funny. my dad is the kind of guy where he'll be telling a story, he'll get to a place where he gets stuck, you know? >> seth: sure. >> and you offer a word or something like that. and he'll take that word and bring it back to you as if it was his idea. like talking about new york. i swear he does this all the time. it's such a great game i play with my dad. he's like, "you know, son, some'n about this city. i tell you, i tell you, it's just -- it's --"

"exhilarating." "son, new york city is exhilarating. [ laughter ] i'm just exhilarated when i'm here. i just love it so much. it's so exhilarating."

[ light laughter ] people came up and they took photos of me, and i felt like a --" "celebrity." "i felt like a celebrity, son. [ laughter ] like people knew me. they knew who i was. do you know anything about that?" "no, dad, i don't know anything about that." [ laughter ] >> seth: i do, he's obviously a great father. and you posted a photo recently that shows the level of father you are. you are not mailing it in at all. your son is doing homework. >> yeah. >> seth: you're off camera. but walton, i can't help but notice it seems like you just got a big ol' glass of wine. [ laughter ] >> yeah, i figure -- it's just moral support, really, just being there. >> seth: so he's doing the work, and you just want him to know. >> he's in the seventh grade, man. i mean, like, that's like being --

>> seth: is that the point now it's passed maybe some of your knowledge? like, things come up where you're like, "i'm out." >> i hate to say it, but it's true man. >> seth: i can feel it coming. >> oh, it is coming for you. >> seth: and i've got one in second.
