Thank you, you take care of yourself. Announcer its the late show with Stephen Colbert. Tonight, mexican standoff. Plus stephen welcomes samuel l. Jackson, and former secretary of Defense Ash Carter, featuring jon batiste and stay human. And now live on tape from the ek city, its Stephen Colbert cheers and applause theme song playing stephen whoo hello cheers and applause thanks, everybody thanks so much please have a seat ladies and gentlemen, welcome one and all to the late show. Im your host Stephen Colbert. cheers and applause ladies and gentlemen in my official capacity as a late night host, tonight i declare that the state of our union is cranky. Heres whats going on. See, trump said he had this big win on friday, when mexico agreed to step up Border Security to keep Central American migrants from coming into the u. S. In exchange, the president agreed not to impose planned tariffs on mexico. So, according to donald trump, donald trump was the hero, saving the worlds economy from the clutches of that maniac donald trump. laughter piano riff but then, on saturday, the New York Times reported that mexico agreed to take these border actions months before trump announced the tariff deal. laughter so the threats of tariffs, the negotiations, the deal itself, were all fake. It was like some sort of theater. In this case, the lyin king. laughter cheers and applause singing laughter stephen were paraphrasing, obviously. Jon yeah. Stephen specifically, the times reported that the centerpiece of trumps deal was an expansion of a program to allow Asylum Seekers to remain in mexico while their legal cases proceed. But that arrangement was reached in december. So trump is just taking credit for deals that were already in place. as trump im also proud to announce that the berlin wall is coming down, cheers and applause the hostages have been released by iran, and i have purchased louisiana from france. laughter cheers and applause according to the times, mexico also agreed to deploy its National Guard to its southern border, but the Mexican Government had already pledged to do that in march during secret talks in miami with kirstjen nielsen. Evidently, those talks were so secret even donald trump hadnt heard about them. laughter but, you know what they say, ignorance is president. laughter applause so, if all this stuff had already been agreed to, why the negotiations . One cnn Analyst Thinks that the deal with mexico was mostly about saving president ial face. And anyone on trumps makeup team knows thats not an easy task. laughter weve lost a lot of good men in those jowls. laughter trump also tweeted, mexico has agreed to immediately begin buying large quantities of Agricultural Products from our great patriot farmers i got to say, typing in all caps, never a good sign. laughter thats usually only used for flame wars and boner pill spam. laughter trump might as well have tweeted, wow, wow, wow. Mexico promises our patriot farmers up to five inches of girthy agriculture in 30 days or less. Make the ladies go eiei oooh laughter cheers and applause eieioooh. Whoa so no surprise, that on saturday mexican officials said that agricultural trade hadnt been discussed. But he said it was discussed. Is Trump Holding negotiations with imaginary friends . as trump senor mexican secretary, your country must buy more corn and soybeans from the United States. as senor wences salright as trump great. Now back to smooching. I love you so much. I love you so much. laughter piano riff after this report, trump was not happy, whinesplaining, if president obama made the deals that i have made, both at the border and for the economy, the corrupt media would be hailing them as incredible, and a National Holiday would be immediately declared. With me, despite our record setting economy and all that i have done, no credit laughter no, its true. Its true. Trump gets no credit. Thats why he had to borrow the money from the russians. laughter applause piano riff jon no credit stephen no budget this weekend, trump also went after msnbc host and Orville Redenbachers disappointed father, donny deutsch, tweeting little donny deutsch, whose show, like his previous shoebiz tries, is a disaster shoebiz . Really . Ive heard its very hard to break into. Shoebiz. laughter as old timey producer im sorry, kid. I know you wanna be a star, but thats a croc. You havent got a chance in heel. Let me give you some wingtips stop loafering around and find a new balance. Now, if youll excuse me, i got an appointment with doc marten. Ugg laughter cheers and applause sometimes youve just got to take a victory lap, jon. Jon thats right. Stephen trump is upset at deutsch because donny has been saying that i had been a friend of his. This is false. I agree. Its just not believable that donald trump has friends. la apparently, trump was responding to deutsch saying this on saturday night speaking of the Trump Organization and bankruptcy and ive known trump well for years and i believe its a criminal enterprise. Stephen okay, thats not very nice. laughter very accurate. But not nice. laughter heres the thing, though deutschs audience on msnbc averages less than 900,000 viewers a night, while trumps twitter feed currently has over 60 million followers. Trump is just boosting the signal of donnys criticism. Its like a rockstar getting on stage and saying, as rocker hello, cleveland before we get rocking, i just heard a guy in the bathroom say that ive got a truly tiny weiner, and i just want all 300,000 of you to know thats not true. One, two, three, four laughter cheers and applause carrot in the throat. clearing throat jon i know who that was. Stephen trump must have felt bad about his behavior because later he tweeted, i know it is not at all president ial to hit back at the corrupt media, or people who work for the corrupt media, when they make false statements about me or the trump administration. Problem is, if you dont hit back, people believe the fake news is true. So well hit back as trump and i know its not very intelligent to stick my tongue in a light socket, but if i dont, people might believe i know not to do that. So, its time to ride the lightning down to tongue town. laughter cheers and applause but trump simply cant resist. This morning, an executive Vice President of the u. S. Chamber of commerce went on cnbc to come out against trumps recent use of tariffs. The weaponization of tariffs, the increase of threats on our economy, on our farmers, on our manufacturers, our consumers, is going to hurt our country. Tariffs are not the way we want to go. Stephen what does he know . laughter hes just Vice President of the nations largest business organization, who is literally named, Myron Brilliant. laughter that must Myron Brilliant. Jon wow. Stephen he must have had a tough time in high school. Check out Myron Brilliant over here laughter but you know what, its just a driveby interview with some talking head on cable news. Who cares . The president of the United States. Mr. President , are you. Uh, are you with us . I am with you. Hi, joe. Hi. Uh great to have you on, thank you for calling in. Look, without tariffs, we would be captive to every country, and we have been for many years. Stephen maybe thats a valid point. Maybe its not. Doesnt mean the president should call in to the tv man. as trump hello, wheel of fortune, give me pat sajak. Im ready to solve the puzzle. Hamberder. laughter cheers and applause but once president 14th caller was on the line, he was in no hurry to get back to work. Do you think facebook and google and amazon, are these companies are too big now . Do you think they should be broken up . Well, i can tell you they discriminate against me. You know, people talk about collusion, the real collusion is between the democrats and these companies because they were so against me during my election run. Stephen as trump im telling you, google is so against me, i googled my name and. Holy smokes, theres another donald trump out there, who is as dumb as a bag of hammers. laughter and you go on Google Images and there are pictures of that guy that look like an unrefrigerated hog carcass. laughter piano riff weve got a great show for you tonight. cheers and applause samuel l. Jackson is here. But when we return, ill be right here with more monologue, doin it donkeystyle. Stick around. cheers and applause youve tried so many moisturizers.

Jackson over there. The man himself. The legend. Jon yes, yes cheers and applause stephen happy to be back over here. Heres the deal, too much monologue tonight so we have to do more here. But let me just remind you what we were talking about. Before i was so rudely interrupted by the commercials we love so much, i was over here talking about trumps mexico tariffs. The deal is, he should be less worried about Illegal Immigrants and a little more worried about the huge caravan of democrats making their way towards the white house. laughter cheers and applause and ill tell you the latest in tonights doin it donkey style. I know oprah cheers and applause stephen up next on donkey style, this weekend in iowa, democrats held their Biggest GroupCampaign Event yet, featuring not one, not 12, but 19 candidates at one event little known fact a group of democrats that large is called a whole foods. piano riff cheers and applause a whole foods. There that is. You know that. They were all there to make their pitch to the people of iowa, and they had to keep it brisk. Because there were so many, they were each given only five minutes to speak. And to enforce that limit, they took a page from award shows and used loud music to play off anyone who spoke too long. Heres former maryland congressman john delaney. Making Community College free, launching national service, or dealing with all the blessings of technology and making sure the American People are equipped to deal with it.

Healthmore wd turbines, infrastructure, and uh, my agent larry at u. T. A. , my drama teacher who really believed in me, meryl streep, it shouldve been you this is for all bald men i love you mom cheers and applause with such a limited time onstage, candidates pulled out all the stops to make a quick impression. Like mayor pete buttigieg, incredibly impressive guy. Hes got multiple languages, rhodes scholar, he tried to win their hearts with some piano jazz. laughter cheers and applause enwhat wastr th th he nail it . laughter the man taught himself norwegian, jon. Jon hes a really smart guy. Stephen really smart guy. Maybe he cant swing . Jon cant do it all cant do it all. laughter stephen thats kind of satisfying. Thats kind of nice to know theres something he cant do. Jon i know. Come on, what am i doing . Stephen he cant play like you but can you play like him . laughter can you give us the buttijazz . Jon the bluesigieg band playing band playing off key and off tempo cheers and applause laughter stephen thank you. Thank you, maestro. Jon yes. Stephen there was one candidate who, somehow, didnt want to take part in this. And thats current iowa front runner, former Vice President and man handing his clean plate to the waitress while saying, haha guess i hated it , joe biden. laughter but the former Vice President had a good excuse. Biden did not attend the event because he was celebrating his granddaughters high school graduation. audience reacts but dont worry, nothing bad ever happens when the Democratic Front runner decides not to go to a swing state. laughter audience reacts but bidens not worried, because hes out there reminding voters of his core message i know barack obama. cheers and applause on saturday, the Vice President tweeted happy bestfriendsday to my friend, barackobama, with a photo of two friendship bracelets. Mr. Vice president , if theyre really friendship bracelets, you wouldnt still have both of them. laughter applause im guessing youre your own emergency contact. laughter the other candidates made sure to note bidens absence. Heres mayor pete taking a sideways shot at bidens more moderate platform. Were not going to win by playing it safe or promising a return to normal. We are where we are because normal broke. And we democrats can no more promise a return to the 90s than republicans can deliver on a promise to return us to the 50s. Stephen i dont know, mayor pete. 90s reboots are more popular than ever. Its why joe biden is also in the reboot of all that. laughter but mayor petes strategy may be working, because he is surging in the polls in iowa. So you know what . Good for him. Jon, lets play him some bratory music band playing stephen well be right back with samuel l. Jackson get it, daddy cheers and applause twentieth reunion. And these new highrise slim straights are it.

Stephen yeah, thats the only reason im here. Where are you from originally . Chattanooga, tennessee. Stephen oh, i didnt know that. Choochoo. Rock city, baby. Stephen last night, you were at the tonys. Was i . Stephen here you are presenting alongside your wife Latanya Richardson jackson. Yes. cheers and applause stephen one of the stars of to kill a mockingbird. A beautiful portrayal. Shes killing it on Broadway Stephen how was the night . You presented to elaine may for best actress. Awesome. Its a great feeling to present to a theater veteran like that. Watch her and have scott rudin pat you on the back. Whats he doing . But it was all fun. I loved the tonys. I never got to go when i was here working as a young actor because i never did anything on broadway. But to be able to go now, my wifes in the show and ive done another show on broadway since then. Stephen for the mountaintop in 2011. Yeah. Stephen would you want to go back . Is there a show that would tempt you back to broadway . I think about going back to the boys all the time. When i go and see a show it makes me miss not being there. Then when i talk to my wife about eight shows a week, it makes me not miss being there. laughter stephen how about you and me, the odd couple . cheers and applause i could do that. We might sell the tickets. Might sell one or two tickets to that. Stephen now, you were here in 2016. I cant believe its been that long. So happy to have you back. 2016 was the last time you were here. Last time you were here was before the election. Its a different world. Ive got to say that, yeah. Stephen we have a clip here, very few people thought that President Trump could actually make it to the oval office. And i did . laughter whats wrong with me . Stephen youre a prophet and you didnt know it. You have a little cautionary tale for us. Jim . Please. Dont think dont think the other thing cant happen because thats why the brexit is trying to get a recall right now. cheers and applause were not going to get a do over. Stephen yeah. Okay, let me make another prophecy, then. You think i can make Something Else come true . Stephen sure cant. There will be people knocking on my door. Stephen how does it feel to be right . That it could happen . I didnt want to be right. I was i hoped i was trying to be funny. Stephen i think you were trying to make sure people would go vote. I was really hoping people would go vote, and i hope they will go vote now because now they know what can happen. cheers and applause stephen unlike brexit, we do get a redo. Yeah. Stephen now, have you looked at the crop of challengers to the president . Is there anybody out there who really floats your boat . Not yet. Stephen no . Too early . I just havent been inspired by what everybodys trying to do, say, prove, whatever. I kind of wish somebody as peoplefriendly in my mind as Stacey Abrams was running. cheers and applause i kind of wish that. But im definitely voting with the resistance, whatever happens. cheers and applause piano riff let there be no doubt. Stephen no doubt at all. Yeah. Stephen now, you are reprising your role as john shaft ii. Yes. Stephen in shaft. Is that a fun character to revisit . Its always fun to play john shaft just because he has so much license to be so many things. Some of the things i never got a chance to be in the second one, or the one that i did. I wasnt really a sex machine for all the chicks. Stephen thats the next one. I got to say really corny lines like its my duty to please their booty. laughter but you get to be cool, you get to be irreverent. You get really nice clothes. Stephen sure, long leather coat . Lots of nice leather coats, short ones, long ones, suede, you get all kinds of stuff. Its just a fun thing to do. Its very different because the other two shafts were basically thrillers, but this is more of an action comedy because they wanted to do something light for the summer. So i get to teach a kid whose mine but his mother took him away from me because i was too dangerous and raised him in private schools and send him to m. I. T. And he ends up in the f. B. I. Stephen is he also named john shaft . His name is john shaft, also. He comes to me because he needs my help, and i have to teach him what the responsibility of what having the name shaft actually means. Stephen youve played nick fury ten times now . Yes. cheers and applause stephen ten times. Who is in your opinion, and no other opinion would be more important, who is cooler, john shaft or nick fury . Well, nick fury. cheers and applause stephen why . He has more power, better tools . You know, nick fury is sort of like some other people that are in power now, hes a little bit above the law. Stephen oh, thats true, true. Yeah. Stephen he has questionable, ethical choices. You cant indict a sitting or standing nick fury. Thats how it goes. Stephen is nick fury still alive in the universe . He is. Hes in spiderman far from home. Yeah, that will be explained. Stephen it will be explained how hes still alive . Yeah. Stephen okay. laughter youve done so many you saw end game, right . Stephen no, looking forward to it. Looking forward to it. audience reacts no, i saw it i saw it not in my box office total. Fine. laughter stephen have you done so many films . Youve done 125 films from the i. M. D. B. , is what they say. Probably more than that. Stephen do you ever forget having done a film . Not really. Stephen did you hear Gwyneth Paltrow forgot she was in spiderman homecoming . She was on john favreaus show and they were talking about it and she said, oh, that was good. They said, no, you were in it. laughter no, i remember all those jobs, the little ones, the big ones. Stephen is there a character you would like to go back to you havent had a chance to . I would really love to give one more run as mace windu in star wars. cheers and applause stephen now, do you see a way that he survived the attack of theres a long history of onehanded guys, you know, that were jedis that have lightsabers that still make it. Stephen he fell out of a window and everything. Jedis can fall from incredible heights and not die, like cats. cheers and applause stephen thats canon right there. This year, besides shaft, youre in glass and captain marvel, avengers end game and youre going to be in spiderman far from home. Right. Stephen youre, pardon the expression, 70 years old. How do you keep going so how do you do so much . I just do one show and im exhausted. The other two guys that do half the jobs that i do that look like me stephen oh, the stunt guys . They make it work, yeah. Stephen do you do exercise, a dietary regimen, are you vegan or something . I do pilates, i play golf, and i was a vegan but im back on meat because they were going to fire me from a job because i was too skinny so i ran to shake shack and got my weight back up. laughter blessing in disguise. But i enjoy the job. Its a great job, its a fun job. I cant imagine doing anything else and being bored at home, sitting around, waiting to come home from eight shows a week. Easier for me to go on location. I just got back from croatia, shooting hitmans wifes bodyguard, so much fun, hanging out with ryan reynolds, and selma hyak and having a ball all over croatia. And i like gun movies. So its not like i have to punch people and learn, you know, martial arts moves. I just stand back and go like that. Its kind of fun. laughter stephen yeah. Yeah. Stephen samuel, so good to see you again. Thanks for being here. Thank you, thanks for having me. Stephen i look forward to odd couple. Yes, broadway, 2020. cheers and applause stephen next year, broadway. Keep our tonys. Shaft is in theaters this friday samuel l.

Folks, my next guest served as the 25th United States secretary of defense under president obama. Please welcome, secretary ash carter cheers and applause band playing stephen mr. Secretary, thanks for being here. Thanks for having me. I appreciate it. Stephen now to get a little bit of the c. V. Out there for people who havent followed all the secretaries of defense, you were secretary of defense under president obama for how long . A little around two years, and then i was and the number two job before that, number three before that and jobs all the way back to the reagan administration. Stephen well, how would you compare president obama or any of the other president s you served under with as commanderinchief with our present president . laughter well, i mean, let me start with ronald reagan. I worked for casper weinberger, who was the secretary of defense for president ronald reagan, and then you just keep going through president bush one, and then president clinton, president bush two, and so forth, on to president obama. Id say they were all pretty good executives, in my observation, pretty good stephen executives as commanders in chief. Yeah, yeah. And good leaders, and very assiduous about their work and very decent people. laughter and that was true of president obama as well, i liked working for him. He was hard working, he was a demanding guy, but that was okay with me. And i know what youre going to ask, which is the current president , whom i dont know well, i met him a few times, never worked for him, so i cant really say what his habits must be. It doesnt seem like he pays attention to his cabinet secretaries, which would have bothered me. laughter president obama didnt always listen to my advice, but i always got a chance to give my advice, and that was true going right back to secretary weinberger. He used to be listened to by president reagan, you could see that, and that was a good thing. Stephen did any of those president s ever go around the room and ask the cabinet to say nice things about them for the cameras . laughter yeah, see this is the thing, the troohie do serious thing, you know, war is a serious business, and the public trust is a serious business, and i expect you to behave yourselves, and your conduct and comportment really matters. And i have to say that in the case of President Trump, sometimes i just its a personal statement, its not anything about policy or politics, i dont like the personal conduct. cheers and applause stephen that was very gently stated. Very gently stated. laughter in 2016, you were one of the people, along with the president , who lifted the transgender ban on service members. Yeah. cheers and applause stephen President Trump has reinstated that under the pretext of the medical costs of transgender soldiers. What do you think that we lose by excluding these people . Well, weve got an all volunteer force, and we need the reason were the finest fighting force in the world is because we have the best people, and what matters in choosing them is military qualifications, and i continue to maintain that, and that is what led me to the view that we ought to admit to the military and retain in the military the people who are most qualified to do a given job. Nobody gets to do a job simply because of who they are in the military, and, so, military necessity and not social policy was what i thought ought to govern retention and admission to the military. I believed that then and i continue to believe that today. Stephen are you surprised it got flipped so quickly, you know, that it only lasted a few years . I think it will come back because i think its based upon necessity of qualifications are what really matter. By the way, stephen, you know, youve mentioned transgender. I remember when bob gates did dont ask dont tell, i also opened up all military positions to women, same thing, its half the population. cheers and applause and something you may not know, something you may not know, also, which is were not geographically everywhere we want to be. We get a large number of recruits from just six states in the United States, and what that tells me is there are 44 states where were not in there recruiting people enough, so thats another thing id like to do, which isnt as, you know, doesnt attract as much public attention but is really just as important, and also technical talent and specialized talent. So there are lots of places. If were going to continue to have the best, and its going to be an all volunteer force and not a draft, weve got to pick on the basis of military qualifications. Stephen we have to take a little bit of a break. Well be right back with more secretary ash carter. Stick around. cheers and applause band playing this seat . This seat is reserved for the restless.

Stephen what was it like to hear that was going on intellectually and emotionally . Didnt surprise me, and here ill tell you why, which is i first met Vladimir Putin in 1993. Stephen good guy . Good guy . laughter i was although much more obscure at that time. Boris yeltsin was the president of russia, bill clinton was the president of the United States, i was the assistant secretary of defense many layers below where i finally ended up, and i traveled to a summit there, and we were sitting having a meeting with Boris Yeltsin and sitting in the back was a little guy taking notes Vladimir Putin. So ive known him and ive worked with the russians for what, 25 years now. And i wasnt surprised because he its very clear where his head is and what kind of thing hes doing. Now, i dont i didnt like it, and ive said this before, and i said it in the book, i dont think enough was done then, and i think that we can do more, and its not too late now. Stephen is there anything you can share with us . Yeah. Yeah. I mean, part of it is fight fire with fire. Ill give you two examples, stephen. He wants to disrupt our way of government. Well, you know, two can play that game. Hes basically running a dictatorship there, and we can reopen some of those nonprofits and so forth that weve had in russia that have questioned the russian system. Now, we havent done that because hes always been afraid of a Color Revolution in russia. We can do that on a more military side. One of the things i did as secretary of defense was say that we had to have a war plan again for russia. Remember, we didnt have a war plan for 25 years for russia. Stephen because who cared about russia . Ther didnt matter or maybe, maybe could be a friend. I never i didnt believe that for long, but a lot of people believed that for longer. So it was some years ago now, but i said its time, sadly, that we have a war plan for russia again. Stephen the book is inside the fivesided box, is in stores now. Secretary ash carter, everybody.
