You missed that the big guy behind Gaetz said "Shut Up Gaetz" to which he replied "who are you?" The man responded with "it doesnt matter who i am, you're an asshole."

You missed the incredible third angle where Matt Gaetz gets immediately called out for being an asshole, which is why he turns around. It's gold!

The irony of Hannity calling out Biden for using a teleprompter while reading off a teleprompter is palpable.

Bird Bane making it into the actual show is just ridiculous😂

"become totally unhinged?" Sir, you"re on stage with a couch for your dog named Baby.

Considering how loudly they all sing the praises of their fearless Orange Grift Weasel, it's pretty easy to forget that these people despise each other. Often more loudly.

Who brings a dog to the same room as Kristi Noem? (Luckily, there was no gravel pit nearby.)

Beautiful call-out of Mike Johnson's reliance on teleprompters. Gaetz is beneath contempt.

Kellyanne talks about teleprompters while reading cue cards. Priceless!

The teleprompter-shaming is such a weird flex. Everyone I know uses notes for speeches, or consults cards, etc., I mean this is a speech, not a Broadway play.

Don’t all of those newscasters use…..teleprompters?? They are all reading off of them, telling the president that he doesn’t need to during a live prepared speech! Seems ironic.

It’s absolutely and completely embarrassing that Matt Gaetz is a member of Congress.

Hannity is literally reading from a teleprompter. You can't make this stuff up. 😂

I think it was incredibly negligent of Gov. Justice to bring Babydog to the RNC with him. Kristi Noem may still be there.

God with Mike Johnson embarrassing himself so badly in a way he derides and despises- I mean I could be wrong but- it almost makes me think Republicans are hypocrites or something. 😂

Mike Johnson said Biden couldn't function without a teleprompter.....and then Johnson proceeds to not be able to function without a teleprompter. The lack of self awareness is truly stunning.

You can hear someone try to tell mike johnson he didn't need the teleprompter. Clearly he was wrong

Johnson couldn't even remember the name of the attorney general when the teleprompter failed as he was doing the introduction. Just wandered off the stage.

Does anyone else think Mike Johnson looks like Elf on a Shelf?

The owner of Baby Dog looks mysteriously like an older, and very plump Lindsey Graham. 😮

If it involves Matt Gaetz it should be called A Grosser Look

Baby Dog is neglected….no exercise and over fed!

It's called " Karma" Mike Johnson...hypocrite..

Hate how Hannity is being so disrespectful by calling the President "Joe"

MATT GAETZ acts like a high school freshman! How embarrassing !

Grindr is getting overwhelmed by the closeted Republicans

The irony of the FoxBimbo(c) calling out Grampa Joe for reading from the teleprompter *while she herself is reading from a teleprompter* is so loud it's waking up the neighbors.

Love how Wally had HIS OWN LINES on his cue card

The juxtaposition of the 1980's singer Buster Poindexter and Matt Gaetz is PURE GENIUS!

Mike Johnson has no room to talk. I noticed when the teleprompter went down at the RNC Mike Johnson couldn't introduce the Attorney General without it. He just left the stage. Who REALLY needs a teleprompter????

Johnson RAN OFF STAGE when the teleprompter failed. Really? You can't introduce the next speaker without a teleprompter?

Matt Gaetz looks like Butthead all grown up.

Gaetz looks like the last 30 seconds of The Shining.

This episode is the first live taping I got to attend in person and it was one of the best experiences of my stupid life. I even got to ask Seth a question during the q&a and he looked me in the eye and spoke to me and I just about floated off of my skeleton. (Seth, if you ever see this, I was the weirdo who told you you're my emotional support comedian.) He stood right next to my husband in the aisle and I wanted to take them both home with me and live happily ever after. And that was probably me screaming like a banshee when he said "It's time for a closer look." Anyway, this closer look will always hold a special place in my heart. Thanks Seth and LNSM for a truly wonderful experience I'll never forget.

Jim Justice…bring it on. You’re all already unhinged.

That dog is the smartest one there.

he was introducing the an attorney general and couldn’t remember the name without the teleprompter 😂😂😂

How incredibly embarrassing that the Speaker of The House couldn't figure out what to say...without the teleprompter.

Babydog obviously finds it difficult to breathe.

I didn't realize Buster Poindexter was moonlighting (gaslighting?) as Matt Gaetz now lmao

Sounded like Justice was telling us what Republicans were going to do if Trump wasn't elected. "We become totally unhinged"

If he can't remember the name of the attorney general. Maybe Maga mike should sit down a shut up.

He couldn't remember the name of the Attorney General? The guy is backstage! Talk about short term memory loss.

- I know that a lot of you wanna meet my little buddy!.. - Sir, put you pants on, please

I LOL’d at the mumblecore joke. And I enjoyed the choice to hilariously explain the reference instead of dropping it. A+

The Governor says they will go unhinged? Will? What are they now?

Remember when 45 blamed his "Washington took the airports" Faux pas on his teleprompter?!

It's really the music that turns that moment with Mike Johnson & the teleprompter into a work of art.

Mike Johnson could not speak without the teleprompter!!! LMAO 😂😂

Thank you, Seth M., this Closer Look was great again! The United States would be much funnier with you as president!

This might be one of the most delightfully silly and upbeat “a closer look” segments I have ever seen. Like millions of others, I needed this SO badly right now. I hope everyone else watching is equally appreciative of the brilliant comic relief this provided. THANK YOU!!!

I'm SCREAMING because BirdBane made it to the main show!

Speaker Mike "Ron Burgundy" Johnson couldn't speak because he can't even remember one person's name.

That poor dog is so obese it’s animal abuse.

Baby Dog is Phat! 😂

Matt Gaetz looks like the villain from “The Mask” after he steals the mask and puts it on.

Every public speaker either reads off a teleprompter or sheets of paper (if the can’t afford a teleprompter).

Dude! The first rule about Corrections Club is that you DON"T TALK ABOUT CORRECTIONS!

I would be embarrassed to be at the RNC, or even to get caught watching such a freak show on TV.

So it's OK for their "chosen one" to use a teleprompter?

I sleep better after watching Seth.

Are they seriously acting like using teleprompter and cue cards is something unusual in public speaking, when is actually pretty ubiquitous?

"And there goes the teleprompter." OOF 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦🤦🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️🤦

West Virginia. Wow . You must be proud of your governor and his son. Many happy meals.

Jim Justice looks like Lindsey Graham melted.

“…we’re gonna be unhinged!” Says the guy from a stage to a small dog sitting on a chair next to him.

Gaetz looks so much like Butthead it's insane. Even the hairdo matches.

Mike Johnson's job is "Speaker". But then again, no one ever claimed, Republicans were good at their jobs.

Seth, your coverage of the RNC is the only coverage I'll be watching.

Keep that poor dog away from Kristi Noem. Wonder if she's there.

Isn't it funny how baby dog looks just like his owner? 😂

Explain how NBC/MSNBC and CNN seem to be supporting Frump.

The maga walk of shame continues...

Seth's comedic banter just rules! He is so rad! How can you stay this funny for this long? cheers!

Mike Johnson couldn't even remember the name of the Attorney General!

Buster Poindexter comparison was dead on - almost fell over laughing 😂

We joke and laugh, but the fact that we can all see where this country is headed is horrifying. I'm moving my family to Australia and my sister is moving her family to Australia also. Have to get out while we still can I rekon 😂

THE WATERSHED ANALOGY July 18 2024 I am an 85-year-old retired civil engineer and land surveyor. I have a professional civil engineering license in Idaho, Wyoming, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Florida. Throughout my career as an engineer, I have a number of occasions when I have had to determine the size of the pipe or culvert as it passed under the highway or other obstruction. Civil engineers use a formula for determining the amount of flow required to determine the size of the structure necessary. The formula is Q =CiA. Strangely enough the Q results in a flow in cubic feet per second, cfs. The C has to do with the characteristic of the watershed. If it’s heavily forested the number is small. If it is concrete or ice the number might be much larger: basically, a percentage. The i is the expected rainfall determined for a period of time. In the past it has been for 100 years. The A is the area of the watershed as determined generally using a planimeter on a map. As a practical person I usually just asked the farmer in the neighborhood about how much water has ever gone through that stream. We were generally successful. I would like to try to apply this Watershed Analogy to a current event. It is the RNC convention in Milwaukee right now. There is no doubt a storm brewing. Despite pleas for normalcy, black clouds are on the horizon. Pertaining to the C part of the equation, there is not much chance of absorption into the ground of the tremendous runoff anticipated in the event of a Republican win. It’s as if the mountain that this rain falls on is of concrete or ice. All of the runoff will result in a devastating flow downstream. The i part of the equation which is the amount of rainfall must be considered to be much greater than a 500-year storm. Is not anticipated to be a gentle trickle. It as Bob Dylan sang, Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall. So now the engineers are required to determine ways to either limit the flow or diminish the damage that will surely occur to all the structures in its path. Consider the entire administrative part of the government. For instance, if the department of highways now under PROJECT 2025, might experience this: a civil engineer using the calculations determines the size of a pipe under a highway. The private company managing the highway declares that this size pipe is unnecessary and it’s too expensive. They go to court. A judge determines the size of the pipe. You decide if this is a good idea.

My god the gaslighting is strong with the right

There goes the teleprompter 😂😂😂😂😂😂

English is a second language to me but isn't this what we call karma ? By definition, his job title is The SPEAKER of the House of Representatives and can't SPEAK enough even to simply introduce someone to SPEAK on the mic???!!! ... People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones 🤣😅

I bet MyJerk Johnson couldn't remember the attorneys general's name.

It's so funny to see them try to promote Party Unity but they can't help but pull these reality tv stunts when they're in the same room.

"Mom! Uncle Rudy's drunk again!"

Unhinged? Baby Doll knows better🤣😂🤣😂

West Virginian here. If you say, "You want to meet my little buddy?" it is also a hard no, Justice is just out of touch and fake "good ole' boy."

"You want to meet my little buddy?" I was thinking "Scarface".

Function? All he needed was to know the name of the man he was’honored’ to introduce. Horse’s..:

His dog looks “over fed “ just like him lol

How about Hannity reading his teleprompter to complain about Biden's teleprompter.

And 😆Mike Johnson couldn’t remember one person’s name 🤣

Thank you for your service, Seth!

Now Seth is giving us homework….He really knows his Jackals ❤😅

You’re an legend for making that convoluted Segway simply for a bird bane impression. Flawless.

When he said, You want to meet my little buddy", I too thought the same thing! Love how they "clapped" for gloom and doom"!

American politics is embarrassing.

When you get called a "little buddy", Skipper hits you with his hat.

Buster Poindexter and Mumblecore jokes are why I’m here night after night.

What about their Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson who awkwardly walked off the stage when he realized the teleprompter wasn’t working unable to speak without it. And he’s not old.

I like how he says "17 year old" but doesn't say the customary "child". 😂 Makes you wonder. I mean the latter would hurt him more but he wont say it.
