-Welcome, everybody.

0:00

Welcome, welcome welcome to "The Tonight Show."

0:03

This is it. [ Cheers and applause ]

0:06

You made it. Thank you very much.

0:08

Well, guys, everyone here is excited.

0:10

The NFL's first week is over and the Jets and Giants both won.

0:14

[ Cheers and applause ]

0:18

It may not sound like much to other cities,

0:20

but for New Yorkers,

0:21

this is like Knicks in five all over again.

0:23

I mean, it's a big deal. Let's get to some news.

0:27

Well, guys, everyone is talking about this today.

0:28

President Trump dismissed concerns over AI

0:31

posting on Truth Social

0:33

"the only control or guardrails

0:35

that AI needs is a strong and smart (high IQ) president."

0:41

Well, I feel better.

0:42

Uh... [ Laughter ]

0:45

Trump was like, [as Trump] I'd like to see ChatGPT

0:47

pick out a zebra in a cognitive test.

0:48

I mean, I don't think -- I don't think so, buddy.

0:52

[ Normal voice ] We're relying on Trump to beat AI?

0:54

I don't even think Trump can beat Wordle.

0:56

You know what I'm saying? [ Laughter ]

0:59

Trump's handling it, which means he's going to change the name

1:01

from artificial intelligence to American intelligence.

1:03

I know. I know what he's doing. I know what he's doing.

1:07

[ Cheers and applause ]

1:12

Keep in mind, up until a week ago,

1:14

Trump thought AI stood for "American Idol."

1:15

So... [ as Trump ] I've spoken with Ryan Seacrest,

1:19

and we're perfectly safe.

1:21

[ Normal voice ] Meanwhile, Trump also said

1:23

he's not downplaying the risks,

1:24

but that it will be more good than bad by a lot.

1:28

[ Laughter ] For some reason,

1:30

Trump's not eager to stop something

1:31

that lets him make photos of himself

1:32

as Jesus riding a bald eagle.

1:34

So... [ Laughter ]

1:35

Yep, Trump said that concerns about AI

1:37

have been exaggerated by "very negative forces."

1:40

And then he announced plans to fight those forces

1:42

with a new military branch called

1:44

the Very Negative Force Force.

1:45

[ Laughter ]

1:49

But get this.

1:51

Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and the CEO of Anthropic

Elon Musk, Sam Altman and the CEO of Anthropic

1:53

all said they want to put the brakes

1:55

on reckless AI development.

1:56

Elon was like, "As you can tell by my

1:58

Teslas, brakes are not my strong suit, but I will try."

2:02

I saw that over the weekend, Trump traveled to Ireland

2:05

to attend the Irish Open golf tournament at his resort.

2:08

Trump only watched the tournament,

2:10

but out of habit, he still claimed he won.

2:11

-Oh. [ Laughter ]

2:13

-Trump said Melania skipped the trip

2:15

because it was a seven-hour flight, yeah.

2:18

Asked where she went for the weekend, Trump said Australia.

2:22

[ Laughter ]

2:25

Yeah, Trump really wanted Melania to be there.

2:27

He even tried bribing her with a check for $5,000.

2:32

[ Laughter ]

2:34

He tried.

2:35

[ Cheers and applause ]

2:38

That's right. Trump went to Ireland for a golf tournament

2:40

at his private club.

2:42

Trump really likes Ireland.

2:44

In fact, he just released his own Irish jig.

2:45

-Oh. -Yeah. Check this out.

3:26

Oh, he loves Ireland.

3:27

[ Cheers and applause ]

3:30

Well, switching gears, the CDC announced

3:33

that the lettuce parasite outbreak is officially over.

3:36

[ Cheers and applause ]

3:39

When asked how they solved it, the CDC said, "We didn't.

3:42

People just kind of forgot." [ Laughter ]

3:45

Well, listen to this. The CEO of Ryanair has denied reports

3:48

that a passenger was partially sucked out of a plane window,

3:51

saying he doesn't think "any part of his body

3:53

got out of the window."

3:55

It's never good when an airline CEO has to use the phrase,

3:58

"we don't think any part of his body got out of the window."

4:02

Finally, Oprah announced

4:03

that she's hosting an immersive live show

4:05

at the Sphere in Las Vegas.

4:07

[ Audience oohs ] Oprah at the Sphere.

4:09

She's going to be like, "You get an edible,

4:11

you get an edible, you get an edible.

4:12

We all --" We have a great show.

4:14

Give it up for The Roots.

4:17

4:21

♪ Hey yo, I be damned, girl, you the spoon ♪

4:24

4:27

-Wow. Thank you.

4:28

4:30

She's a talented actor who stars

4:32

in the new movie "Without Blood,"

4:33

which is in theaters Friday.

4:35

Salma Hayek Pinault is here tonight.

4:37

[ Cheers and applause ] -Come on.

4:39

-The greatest. So fun. -Come on.

4:42

-She's a multi-platinum-selling artist

4:44

whose new album, "Baraja Bendita," is streaming now.

4:48

4:58

podcast, "Huberman Lab."
