And most of that is from sea world, after he held that big meeting with the prince of whales. cheers and applause piano riff making whale sounds laughter and orlando is not alone, because according to the latest polls, joe biden is leading trump, 49 to 39 . Although you should take that with a grain of salt, because that poll was conducted by the lefty liberal loons over at fox news. laughter wow cheers and applause jon wow stephen wow fox news is telling trump the truth . What will they tell him next . The wall isnt being built . laughter golf has rules . laughter cake isnt dinner . laughter and its not just fox. Trump is also trailing biden according to internal polling numbers from his own campaign. as trump i cant believe it, betrayed by my own data. Ive always said, you cant trust any poll that doesnt have a dancer on it. That is laughter cheers and applause youve got to hold it down. They hold it cheers and applause piano riff laughter but trump solved the problem of low poll numbers by firing his pollsters. laughter thats like firing a canary in a coal mine for its bad attitude. laughter as coal miner wake up, you lousy damn bird, come on, come on, youre fired come on, pack your stuff and get out of here. Youve got to leave soon, because, man, im feeling sleepy. laughter the Trump Campaign acknowledged that the polls are actually real, but calls them incomplete and misleading, saying they represent a worstcase scenario for voter turnout. And its true. Voters turning out is their worstcase scenario. laughter applause and trump trump fired back on twitter this morning only fake polls show us behind the motley crew. Yes, those polls show trump behind the motley crew because hes not popular with girls, girls, girls cheers and applause thank you. Thank you. Jon that was nice. That was nice. singing stephen trump also talked about polling in an interview that aired last night with george stephanopoulos, starting with how trump is trailing biden. Hes still beating you, according to the polls. Well, i dont believe those polls. Theres no way he beats me in texas. But even your own polls show youre behind right now, dont they . No, my polls show im winning everywhere. laughter stephen as trump yes, george, my polls show im winning everywhere. I defeated the Golden State Warriors to become the n. B. A. Champs, i won americas got talent, and donald, will you accept this rose . Why, yes, i will. Thank you. laughter cheers and applause i cant believe. Oh, my god, oh, my god, thank you. Oh, oh, oh. laughter but george pushed back. I dont know, weve all seen these reports, that in 15 out of 17 states you spent 2 million on a poll, and youre behind in 15 out of 17 states. Nobody showed you those polls because those polls dont exist, george, because those polls dont exist. Stephen as trump those polls dont exist, george, and do you know why . Because this is the matrix, george. Were living in the matrix. All of us right now are just duracell batteries for our machine overlords, our bodies sustained in a nutrient bath with tubes out of every hole, george. Every hole. You can take the red pill or the blue pill, george. I took the red pill, and it was pure robitussin and i am tripping balls right now. cheers and applause tripping balls. But of course the interview wasnt just about polls. Trump and stephanopoulos also argued about the mueller report. They didnt examine collusion. He laid out evidence of obstruction. Oh, are you trying to say now that there was collusion, even though he said there was no collusion . He didnt say theres no collusion. He said no collusion. He said he didnt look at collusion. George, the report said no collusion. Did you read the report . Uh, yes i did, and you should read it, too. I read every word. All right, lets go. Lets go. You should read it, too, george. Stephen hes getting out of there. Hes hustling out of there as fast as he can because hes busted and he knows it. He didnt read the report. You ever read moby dick . Yeah i definitely read moby dick. Really . I wrote my doctoral thesis on melvilles use of nautical imagery nice. Well, ive got to jump out of this moving limo. Tuck and roll cheers and applause piano riff that was not on camera, right . I dont know if theres anybody else out there, but i always that if i had to do that out of a car, i could do that. Tuck and roll and spin out i just failed to do it on a not moving stage. laughter i think i need arthroscopic surgery during the commercial break. laughter welcome to my last show. laughter stephanopoulos pressed the president on why he didnt sit for an interview with mueller. But if you answer these questions to me now, why not answer them to Robert Mueller under oath . Because. laughter applause cheering stephen ive got to say, any pause that long is a red flag. Honey, how was work today . laughter . Good. Did you get fired . Because. laughter to his credit, stephanopoulos did not let him off easy, and trump was not a fan of that. Did you answer questions . Wait a minute, i did answer questions, i answered them in writing. Not on obstruction. I answered a lot of questions. They gave me questions, i answered them in writing. Not on obstruction. Look, george, youre being a little wise guy. audience reacts stephen look, george, youre being a little wise guy. Youre being a tiny news leprechaun. Youre being an itty bitty greek hobbit. Look, i dont i dont answer questions from the lollipop guild. laughter but there were a few hiccups in the interview, by which i mean coughs. Theyre after my financial statement. The senate, theyd like to get my financial statement. At some point, i hope they get it you going to turn it over . No. At some point, i might, but at some point, i hope they get it because its a coughs fantastic financial statement. Its a fantastic financial statement. And lets do that over, hes coughing in the middle of my answer. Yeah, okay. I dont like that, you know, i dont like that. Your chief of staff. If youre going to cough, please leave the room. Im just going to get a shot. Ill come over here. You just cant, you just cant cough. Just to change the shot. Sorry, mr. Trump. audience reacts stephen can you imagine working for that guy . as trump george, the iranians are clearly in violation can we start over . That guy blinked, over there, okay . Stop the blinking. If your eyes are thirsty, they can have a diet coke like the rest of us. laughter boy, oh, boy. Impeachment talk is increasing among the democrats, and its dividing the party. Some members of the house want trump impeached immediately, but Speaker Nancy Pelosi is resisting these calls, saying, i dont want to see him impeached. I want to see him in prison. Well cheers and applause i got to say piano riff i want to see him in prison, too. And i do, every time i close my eyes. laughter heh, heh. Where does the jumpsuit end and his skin begin . laughter no way of knowing. Theres no way of knowing. cheers and applause piano riff trump has become obsessed with what he calls the i word, and this weekend, he quoted a surprising source, congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez, seen here watching you let the water run while you brush your teeth. laughter yesterday jon thats a good one. laughter laughs stephen yesterday its true. Save water. Save water. applause yesterday, trump tweeted, representative alexandria ocasiocortez, i think we have a very real risk of losing the presidency to donald trump. i agree, and that is the only reason they play the impeach card, which cannot be legally used thats right. Hes right about that, jon. Thats why article one of the constitutions reads, the house of representatives shall have the sole power of impeachment psych this card cannot be legally used. laughter piano riff jon psych psych not applause stephen but, second of all, wow did a. O. C. Really say that . Answer kind of. Heres the full clip trump pulled his quote from. Do you believe the democrats will lose to donald trump if they dont nominate somebody who is, in your mind, a true progressive, along the lines you just described . Well, i think that we have a very real risk of losing the presidency to donald trump if we do not have a president ial candidate that is fighting for true transformational change in the lives of working people in the United States. Stephen so he just quoted the first half of what she said, and pretended that was the whole thing it reminds me of this old tweet. Charles dickens says, it was the best of times. i agree.

Jon dax shepard in the house going to be a nice one tonight cheers and applause im loving the energy in here. Stephen you know, folks, last week, our friend jon stewart was in congress, calling on lawmakers to extend the 9 11 Victims Compensation fund, which covers healthcare for survivors and first responders. The fund expires next year, and it has been difficult to get Congress Attention on this issue. So, jon called them out for dragging their feet on reauthorizing the fund. Because the situation is urgent, yesterday, jon then met with the only constituents that republican lawmakers listen to, fox news. Its very likely that the house is going to pass the full bill that you want, extending the program through the lives of these people. Then you have to go to the senate and, in your testimony, you said that senate you said that a certain someone, by which it appeared that you meant Senate LeaderMitch Mcconnell, cannot be allowed to use this as a political football in negotiations on other spending bills, have you had problems with senator mcconnell . Yes. I mean, not me personally, but in terms of getting the 9 11 bills passed. Mitch mcconnell has been the white whale of this since 2010. Stephen yes, Mitch Mcconnell is the white whale. laughter in that he has been acting like a huge moby dick. laughter cheers and applause well, this morning, mcconnell went on fox and friends and told jon stewart that when it comes to providing healthcare for 9 11 first responders, he should just chillax. Whyhy has it always seemed tt the vote comes at the last minute . Well, many things in congress happen at the last minute. Weve never failed to address this issue, and we will address it again. I dont know why hes all bent out of shape. Stephen well, senator, i for one dont think he said what . What did he say . What did he say . cheers and applause stephen jon, now that i have you here what a delight may i ask you, are you bent out of shape . No no no no, Mitch Mcconnell, im not bent out of shape. Im in fine shape. Well, im out of shape. I am out of shape. But not because of im actually really more pizza crust than man, really, at this point. laughter but im not bent out of shape. Im fine. Im bent out of shape for them. These are the first heroes and veterans and victims of the great, trillionsofdollars war on terror. And theyre currently still suffering and dying and in terrible need. You would think that would be enough to get Congress Attention. But apparently, its not. I think he was shocked that when he was appearing before that committee, so few members showed up that day. Well, that frequently happens, because members have a lot of things going on at the same time, and it sounds to me like he is looking for some way to take offense. audience reacts i feel like an ass bleep . laughter im so so you know, stephen, now i feel stupid. This was a huge misunderstanding. I didnt know that they were busy. laughter oh, boy. Now i dont even know what to say. I didnt mean to interrupt them, with their jobs cheers and applause youre just pantomiming. Honestly, Mitch Mcconnell, you really want to go with the well get to it when we get to it argument for the heroes of 9 11 . Listen, senator, i know that your species isnt known for moving quickly. laughter stephen would that be would that be a turtle reference, jon . laughter well, actually yes, its a little red meat for the base, thats all. A little red meat for the base. But, damn, senator, youre not good at this argument thing. Basically, were saying, you love the 9 11 community when they serve your political purposes, but when they are in urgent need, you slowwalk, you dither, you use it as a political pawn to get other things you want, and you dont get the job done completely. And your answer to that charge is, yeah, duh were congress. Thats how we do laughter but the truth is, thats not how congress do. Thats how the kids would say it. Stephen oh. laughter thats how you, Mitch Mcconnell, do. Weve spent a year compiling bipartisan cosponsors and advocates for this bill, all in the hopes that when it finally gets to the great Mitch Mcconnells desk, you wont jack us around like youve done in the past. So, if you want to know why the 9 11 community is bent out of shape, over these past, lets call it 18 years . Meet with them, tomorrow. As soon as possible. And dont make them beg for it. You could pass this thing as a standalone bill tomorrow. Meet with them, tomorrow. cheers and applause but you know what . If youre busy, i get it. laughter just understand that next time we have a war, or youre being robbed, or your house is on fire, and you make that desperate call for help, dont get bent out of shape if they show up at the last minute, with fewer people than you thought were going to pay attention, and dont actually put it out, just sort of leave it there, smoldering for another five years. Because thats how bleep gets done around here, mister. Im sure theyll put it out for good when they feel like getting around to it. No offense. Stephen jon stewart, everyone cheers and applause well be right back with dax shepard cheers and applause band playing tree house . Thats my dream.

First time caller. Stephen same ditto, im supposed to say, ditto. Thank you. Stephen we had your lovely wife on cheers and applause kristen bell, right there. Oh, okay, good. Stephen and she had nice things to say about you. She did . Stephen yes. Oh, good. Stephen she had nice things to say about you, thats why were so excited to have you here tonight. Shes got to protect our image, these samsung washers will not sell themselves. laughter i mean, theyre a good product, but they will not sell themselves. Stephen she seems like a nice person. She a beautiful shes the most beautiful human ive ever met, other than my children. Theyre slightly nicer than her. Stephen oh really . Yeah. Stephen how old are your children . Four and six, two little girls. Stephen thats the perfect age, oh my god. Ive got to tell you, that youre just peaking right now. Im telling you. Im aware of it, too. The snuggle sessions with them are beyond anything i could have ever dreamt of. Stephen do your kids know that you guys are famous . Okay, so that is an interesting question because they know that mom is princess anna from fr. Thno, they understand it. Tephen thats as famous as you can be. Well, yes, i agree. They have been to set, theyve seen us work, they have seen billboards around town and people have taken photos of us when were out and about. But i was talking with my daughter and she said, why do people listen to the podcast . Do they listen for you or monica, my cohost . I said, well, i bet its 50 50. She said, okay, but thats why they started listening . And i go, well, i think initially they started listening because they knew me and not monica. Well, why did they know you . I go, because im famous. And she goes, youre famous . and i was like, i go, yeah, hon, thats why im on tv and thats why people take pictures of us. And shes like, does mom know . laughter and i go, honey, moms more famous than dad. And she goes, moms famous, too . and i was like, what is happening right now . She understands how were making a living, but this word famous was its own thing. Like at kindergarten, i guess we were all of a sudden taylor swift or something. Or, p nk. I dont know. Very weird, though, right . Stephen no, thats a reasonable response for a child. Okay. Stephen because famousness has got magic to it. It does, and i guess i had assumed she wasnt aware of that yet. Stephen because if you think about it, its a weird thing to be. Famous is a weird thing to be. Its a very bizarre thing to be, yeah. Stephen because once you are, it doesnt require any action on your behalf, you just are. Thats my hope. laughter i want to be able to sell, like, lawn gardening equipment when im older. Stephen seed, fertilizer. laughter do they now think everyone in your family is famous . Well, something happened which is very misleading where they would be right to assume that. So, my mother goes by gaga in our house. laughter , i waon a tow the ranch, that sam elliott is on, and sam elliott is my moms number one heartthrob of all time. So, i brought her to work one day, sam god bless him he kissed her hand, put his arm around her, she was speechless, it was awesome. So she came home, and she told the girls i just saw my boyfriend, sam elliott. So she calls sam elliot her boyfriend all the time. Cut to they start watching the Golden Globes together because kristen and i have gone to the Golden Globes. My moms watching the kids. Theyre watching the show, and sam elliott comes on stage. And the kids stephen for a star is born. For a star is born. And the kids go, gaga, your boyfriends on stage shes like, oh, i know, im watching. And then sam elliott says, id like to bring out the most important woman of the year, the beautiful lady gaga, and the kids go, gaga he said your name hes talking about you on tv stephen isnt that fantastic . Isnt that great . Stephen isnt that fantastic . You would think they have a better understanding than the rest of the kids. No. Stephen thats great. They think gaga is dating sam elliott. Stephen now, youve got the new game show. Is this on fox . Fox, thursday night at 9 00 p. M. I hope im saying that correctly. Stephen probably. It is for sure. Stephen and what is it called . Its a fourstory tall wheel. Its preposterously large. Stephen im sorry, what . Holy cow i know, right . Stephen look at this photo. Look at these people down here. Thats you. Look at the wheel it looks even dumber than i remembered. laughter stephen now, wait a second we look like ants are playing this game. Stephen yeah, this looks like a diorama of a wheel. Now, wait a second, this is a 40foot 40foot tall, and it weighs 20some tons, right . So the first time oh, go ahead. Stephen my question is why dont you name it 40foot wheel . Because, if it says, spin the wheel, no, im not sure. If someone says, 40foot wheel, im like, i want to see somebody spin that. Yes. Also i think of like a 50s sci fi horror film run its coming stephen is it important the wheel be this big . Is there some reason why the wheel is so big . I guess, when my boss andrew called the wheel manufacturer, they said, weve got one but its four stories. We can probably work with you on the price, and he said, great. laughter stephen but what happens on spin the wheel . This is the best part of the show. You can win 23 million, yall, on this show. Stephen what . 23 which is an odd number of millions, ive got to say. Suspicious number stephen why 23 . Again, he called up the briefcase people. They said stephen the most we could possibly fit in. Yes, weve already made the briefcases, it turns out you can put 23 million in them. laughter so, as you might expect, friends of mine, reallife friends have been, like, i want to win 23 million. Who doesnt . Id like to win that money. Stephen yeah, yeah. They said, can you get us on the show . And i said, the contestants this is not a joke all of the contestants have done things like this. One guy was driving down the road, saw a derailed train. Got out of his car, crawled through four train cars, and rescued like a dozen people. A real person did this. So stephen wait, dax. How does that person then get on the show . What happens . So, there was a news story about him in washington, and the casting folks invited him to play this game as, you know, kind of a reward. Stephen so you have to be some kind of hero to play this game . Thats exactly right. So i had to tell my friends, none of you are good enough pe t s im not goodnough to be on that show. My wife could probably be on the show. Stephen i hear good things. Well, i look forward to it. Thank you. Stephen keep the 40foot wheel in mind. Just, every so often, refer to it that way. Its not too late. We have three days to rebrand this sucker. Tune in to the 40foot wheel stephen spin the wheel premieres thursday on fox. Dax shepard, everybody well be right back with the former u.

Attorney for the Southern District of new york for eight years, and his new book is called doing justice. Please welcome to the late show, Preet Bharara cheers and applause band playing cheers and applause stephen well, counselor, nice to have you on. Nice to be here. Stephen there was a time when if Preet Bharara was interested in something you were doing, you should be shaking in your boots, because its a very powerful position to be the u. S. Attorney for the Southern District of new york. Yes, no longer. I was fired. Stephen its still powerful, but youre no longer powerful. Right. Although, now i get to be on the Stephen Colbert show. Stephen exactly, yeah. Youve ascended to a whole new level. cheers and applause i feel thats a form of soft power, as they say. Stephen it is very soft. Very soft. You actually can take a pill for that now. laughter so the book is called doing justice. What is so special about the Southern District of new york . It is very powerful. The saying goes, the jurisdiction for the Southern District is planet earth . Is that the joke . Why is it such a powerful position . So i had the honor and privilege of leading that office for almost eight years, and its in the news a lot lately because that office, my former office, is among other things, overseeing the investigation and prosecution of michael cohen, the president s former lawyer. And one reason, it has a tradition going back to the founding of the republic. Literally, the district of new york, before it was southern and eastern and western and all the other directions, to the founding of the republic in 1789. And it has a long tradition of being independent. You know, the nickname for the Southern District of new york people dont like it but the nickname has often been the sovereign district of new york. And turns out that for justice to be done, you want an independent Prosecutors Office. Not a Prosecutors Office thats in the pocket of any particular politician who, you know, looks to the winds of political partisanship or anything else. And they do things, in my experience, and i have a parochial pride about that place, that other offices may not do. Theyre tough and aggressive but i think theyre fair. I mean, a lot of the stories i tell in the book, in none of them am i the hero. The heroes of those stories are the men and women, the investigators, the prosecutors, the staff, who have brought justice and accountability to a lot of folks and also kept the country safe, not just from things like corruption and financial fraud, but also terrorism and everything else. Stephen now, trump fired you. Nget a memo. laughter so ordinarily, the u. S. Attorney, whos appointed by a prior president i was appointed by barack obama and confirmed by the senate you leave in some orderly fashion when a new president takes power, particularly one of another party. Which i fully expected to do, i expected to take a long, lovely, expensive vacation with my family. After donald trump won, that would be the one silver lining. laughter and donald trump personally invited me to come to trump tower, i met with him on the 26th floor, and he asked me to stay, which was very unusual. So, only in that context was it odd for me to be fired in march. One thing that may have contributed to that, which some people have written and talked about, oddly, when i met with the president elect, he asked me for my phone number, which is odd, because obviously the meeting had been arranged and somebody must have had my phone number. So i wrote down my phone number literally on a postit pad, my cell number and office number, and gave it to him. And then he called me a couple of times during the transition, and then he ended up calling me on march 9 after he became the president of the United States, which was before i knew about how much executive time he spends, and i didnt return the phone call after he left a message, because i didnt know what he was calling about. I didnt know what inappropriate thing he might want to talk about, i didnt want it to look like because the attorney general wasnt involved in the call, nobody had a heads up about the call, i wanted to have an armslength relationship. Do you know how many times barack obama called me . No times. And thats how it should be with respect to a Political Office holder of the president of the United States and the local United States attorney. Its fine in certain circumstances for the president to talk to the f. B. I. Director or the attorney general, but to call and try to cultivate a relationship with the u. S. Attorney in the Southern District of new york, who, by the way, coincidentally, has natural jurisdiction over the Trump Organization and the Trump Foundation and various other things, i didnt think it was appropriate. So i did not return the call, and 24 hours later i was asked for my resignation. Stephen wow. Because youre a cold fish. Youre playing hard to get, thats why. laughter doing justice is available now. Preet bharara, everybody well be right back with a performance by lukas nelandprof. cheers and applause band playing oh, pete . cmon man. What . We said pantyhose right . Here, eat this.
