| 0:00.0 | During his address yesterday to U.S. troops in Japan, President Trump said that it has been less than one year since he won the 2024 election and added, quote, |
| 0:11.2 | it doesn't feel that way. No, no, it really doesn't. In fact, I can't remember a time when you weren't president. You're like Jack Torrance in the Shining. You've just always |
| 0:21.7 | been here. |
| 0:28.5 | From 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City, please enjoy this podcast edition of late night with |
| 0:33.8 | Seth Myers. On today's show, Seth talks to writer, director, and comedian Judd Apatow. |
| 0:38.7 | But first, a closer look. |
| 0:46.7 | Donald Trump has been on an official trip to Asia, where he's been dancing and getting gifts and having the time of his life. |
| 0:53.1 | Meanwhile, back at home, everyone's super pissed at him about the government shutdown. And I everyone |
| 0:57.1 | say, just let the man have fun. For more, and this is time for a closer look. |

| 1:28.8 | Officials say that the animal weighs about 40 pounds and it's aggressive towards humans. |
| 1:33.0 | Oh, man, why do they always have to be aggressive toward humans? Just once, I love for a news story |
| 1:38.9 | about an escape lab primate to end with. The animal weighs about 40 pounds that is looking for a home |
| 1:44.0 | that could use |
| 1:44.7 | a monkey butler. That's where we are right now, America. 28 days later is happening in real life, |
| 1:51.1 | and it's not the biggest story in the news. For all we know, there can be real-life rage zombies |
| 1:55.7 | out there right now. Some of that might even be working for the government. This is why all those sci-fi movies about outbreaks and zombie apocalypses are so unrealistic now. |
| 2:05.6 | If 28 days later happened today, our brains would be too addled to focus on it. |
| 2:09.4 | Just be another thing we scroll past on our phones between TikTok videos. |
