Seth Meyers and Sal Gentile Riff on Trump Jr. Wedding Funding, AI Extinction Warning, and $5,000 Midterm Promise
Seth Meyers and A Closer Look supervising writer/producer Sal Gentile discuss news stories they're following while the show is on hiatus. Topics include reports that Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding was partially funded by a Russian oligarch, Trump's decision to import 'mystery meat,' an AI researcher's warning that artificial intelligence could lead to human extinction, and Trump's promise of a $5,000 check after the midterms — a pledge critics have called a bribe.
