Boebert Humiliated Over "Public Urination" Fixation; Trump Wants to Bomb Mexico: A Closer Look

Dumb Things Happening in Congress

This transcript is a monologue by Seth Meyers on his show "A Closer Look" where he talks about the dumb things happening in Congress. He highlights some of the most ridiculous statements made by Republican Congresswomen Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene, as well as Donald Trump's alleged plans to attack Mexico if reelected.

The Baseline Level of Stupidity

• Meyers mentions some of the dumbest things that have happened in Congress, such as a senator holding up a snowball to disprove global warming and a member of Congress vaping during a hearing.

• He jokes about how smoking is disgusting but somehow vaping looks even worse, and imagines Keith Richards with a JUUL pen in his mouth.

• Meyers wonders if this is what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they created Congress, or maybe it is since those guys were weirdos too. He jokes about Benjamin Franklin being high on hemp all the time and tying a key to a kite in a lightning storm.

The MAGA Weirdos Take It Up A Notch

• Meyers talks about how Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene seem to take the baseline level of stupidity as a challenge. They make ridiculous claims such as Canada participating in an invasion of the United States and Mexicans traveling to Canada without visas being extremely concerning for national security.

• He shows clips from Homeland Security hearings where Greene makes these claims and jokes about her saying that one of the invaders brought a snowball into the Capitol, otherwise known as a Canadian grenade.

Trump's Alleged Plans to Attack Mexico

• Meyers mentions a report from Rolling Stone that alleges Donald Trump has asked his advisors to draw up battle plans to attack Mexico if reelected. He jokes about how this is fully unhinged and imagines Trump sitting around with his council of bozos and dip[bleep] asking them to draw up battle plans.

• Meyers also jokes about Rudy Giuliani being on top of it and making contact with someone in Mexico named Señor Frog's who will give them inside information.

The D.C. Crime Law Controversy

This section discusses the controversy surrounding a D.C. crime law that was overturned by Congress, and Lauren Boebert's embarrassing lack of knowledge about it.

Republicans Overturn D.C. Crime Law

• Republicans and some Democrats overturned a D.C. crime law, which trampled on Washington D.C.'s right to govern itself.

• Joe Biden signed the measure to overturn the bill.

• The revised criminal code is not the law in Washington, D.C.

Lauren Boebert Embarrasses Herself

• During a hearing, Lauren Boebert grilled one of the local lawmakers who crafted the bill and seemed to think that the bill she voted to overturn was actually now law in the city of D.C.

• She continued to press the witness on public urination even after being told that it was still a criminal offense.

• She humiliated herself by not knowing basic information about laws in Washington, D.C.

Lauren Boebert's Prank Information

This section discusses Trevor Noah's theory that Lauren Boebert's staff gave her bad information as a prank.

Bad Information as a Prank

• Trevor Noah theorizes that Lauren Boebert's staff hates her and gave her bad information as a prank.

• He imagines them giving her false information about public urination.

• He jokes about how doing "a google" might be slang for public urination in Australia.

Boebert's Public Urination Debate

In this segment, the transcript covers a congressional hearing where Representative Lauren Boebert debates with a witness about public urination.

Boebert's Debate on Public Urination

• The witness accuses Boebert of supporting the removal of criminal offense for public urination.

• Boebert clarifies that the legislation changed public urination from a criminal to civil offense and was later changed back to a criminal offense at the request of the mayor.

• Later in the hearing, when a Democratic member takes a swipe at Boebert, she pipes up as if she wanted another shot at discussing public urination.

• She asks if there is anything additional to say about public urination.

Closer Look

• This segment highlights how Republicans are not serious governing parties and can't be bothered with real issues affecting people but seem to have plenty of time fantasizing about bombing Mexico or fending off nonexistent invasions from Canada.

• The host uses an analogy with his kids talking about dinosaurs to emphasize how Republicans waste time on irrelevant topics like public urination instead of focusing on real issues.

• The host concludes by jokingly suggesting that Boebert might have been guilty of "public urination" due to her humiliation during the hearing.

There is no music playing in this segment.
