good to know. there has been a lot of talk about this presidential election we're having. it's coming up. people can't stop talking about it. it's real important, you guys. and we are just two weeks away from the first republican debate. just two weeks away, which means we will finally -- we will finally get a chance to hear what donald trump thinks. [ laughter ] no more playing it coy, donald. "i have some things to say about mexicans but not yet." [ laughter ] "you'll have to wait until the debates." [ laughter ] donald trump said this weekend that he is self-financing his campaign and is not beholden to donors and special interests or other nations or his party or the wealthy or middle class, poor people, citizens, voters, humans, plants, or animals. so, he's good.

he's his own man. "i'll tell you what i'd do to china." [ laughter ] "but not today." [ laughter ] "i'll see you at the debate." [ laughter ] this was kind of unbelievable, hillary clinton said this weekend that a lot of well-meaning, open-minded white people are still scared of young black men. here, let's take a look at a clip. >> seth: with fancy scientists --. [ screams and applause ] [ laughter ] >> seth: in -- in my defense, chris rock is not that young. hulk hogan is in trouble after video surfaced showing him using the "n" word during a sex tape. you know it's bad when a 61-year-old man makes a sex tape with his friend's wife and that's not the gross part.
