Hello, im sam water ston. You may recognize me from law order, or my personal pasta sauces where none of the money goes to charity. Tonight i will be your guide as we look at the the late show with Stephen Colberts 2020 Campaign Coverage. And while this will be a collection of some of the best moments from the late show, i assure you this is not some silly best of show. It is something much more important. Tonight, we fulfill a cotractual obligation to the network. We begin with some of colberts best monologues from the democratic primary. First, of course, the opening credits. Its a late show with Stephen Colbert 2020 Campaign Coverage special. Plus the best of candidat monologues, the best of candidate interviews and Campaign Field pieces. And Sam Waterston eating a giant sandwich. And now live on a burch of tapes from the ed sullivan theater, its Stephen Colbert trumps days are numbered. At least for his first term, because were getting closer and closer to the next president ial election. There are a lot of democrats in this thing. In fact, here are all the candidates. laughter the New York Times says are eithertrunning or might run. This theres a sniffs of course, with nearly 30 people possibly vying for the democratic nomination, its easier to focus on whos not running and well do that in my new segment not doing it donkey style. No, thanks stephen first bowing out, Hillary Clinton has announced hes not running for president in 2020. That is tough news for republicans. They still havent realized shes no longer running in 2016. laughter i stuck a voteo of volder mort in there, and you didnt even notice. Right down there. applause obviously, thats a volt. Voldermort is a libertarian. Biden has led every National Poll of democrats, without even having declared hes running. But on saturday, he may have accidentally spilled the beans. I am the most progressive record of anybody running for the if anybody who would run. applause stephen the man has not lost a misstep. Biden leads trump by 13 points. And its not just biden. In the poll, sanders beats trump by nine points, harris wins by eight points, warren beats him by 7. Buttigieg and booker both beat him by five. cheers and applause . And and somehow and somehow, bill de blasio still loses by 137 . laughter now, we are live cheers and applause thats a live thats a Live Audience right there. It is just crackling with terrorist in here. cheers and applause . Because were live after the first of two democratic president ial debates. Tonight, wednesday, was the undercard pitting elizabeth warren, cory booker, and beto orourke against seven people angling for msnbc whats your message for cardi b and her followers. I thank her very much. H3 im very appreciative to have her support. Its the matchup of the century. Look, i dont make money moves. I movie money from the billionaire class to the 99 . Im a dog. Im a flirt. And its high time we had medicare. It is high time we had medicare for all you broke hos. I know a bad bitch when i see one. Tell ririi need a three sell. After night one of the democratic debate, this is the second round of debates, so were calling it democratic debate night too many candidates to remember forget harder. Joe biden broke the ice with harris right off the top. Top. To which harris responded, i hope youre wearing a cup. Biden did well enough to stop some of the fears but not to give people that overwhelming confidence this is our guy. I think biden did okay. He came through it just fine. He did well enough. Was he amazing . Was he perfect . Was he entirely consistent . No. Stephen there you have it. Democrats have gone from, yes we can, to that will do. Ill take it. cheers and applause ill take it. Im fine with that. Jon you like that. Stephen im fine with that. But theres plenty of time, right . The election is still 16 months away. You gotta have a lot of people at first, right . Its like its like its like sea turtles hatching on a beach, okay. Lots of birds circling overhead, but there are thousands of them. One of them has to make it to the water. Plus its going to be so fun to watch those birds drag off bill de blasio. Jon oh oh stephen circle of life. Senator Kamala HarrisJust Announced she is dropping out of the race. Race. explosion there she is, off to low orbit. When it comes to not being the first female president , she was that little girl. laughter senator. Jon ooooh stephen youre welcome. laughter harris wasnt alone in leaving the race. On monday, montana governor Steve Bullock also dropped out. Unfortunately, due to his low poll numbers, bullock did not qualify to be in this joke. laughter but its hard for me not to take this a little personally because you see both harris and bullock had memorable appearance heres on the late show. Harris was on the show four times, including just two weeks ago for her last appearance on late night as a candidate. And remember who announced they were running for president on my show . Kirsten gillibrand and eric swalwell. I am officially the democratic primary kiss of death. This isnt for sure, but it might have something to do with my green wroom i store my ladder, broken mirror, and black cat collection. If im going to be a jinx, i might as well use it to help america. John delaney, come on this show. Its time. This week, mayor bloomberg met with voters in burlington, vermont, and shook a dogs face. No bad billionaire bad down, mike down the dog actually seemed to like it. So now bloomberg does the same thing with all the babies he meets. laughter there is there is just so much to talk about tonight, jon. We talked about this before. Jon yes, yes, yes. Stephen weve got the super bowl. Weve got impeachment. Weve got groundhog day. And were calling our coverage super peach hawk cock. You know what, that does not look as good as i thought it would. Lets just go with monday. Now with all the polls relatively tight, the candidates are getting nastier with each other, especially joe biden and pete buttigeig, seen here cosplaying as father time and baby new year. laughter on saturday, on saturday, biden said this about buttigieg is this a act of desperation on your campaign to be making this come on man. Making this assertion right now of mayor buttigieg. This guy is not a barack obama. Stephen is barack obama the only measure of things that are good . Oh, man, this turkey ruben is a real barack obama. Ill tell you, when im done, lets hit the road because the bathroom here is no barack obama. After her performance in the nevada debate, warren is back on the map thanks to her hammering of former new york city mayor michael bloomberg. Bloomberg had not participated in any of the democratic debates, and right off the bat, warren hit him with the bat. Id like to talk about who were running against. A billionaire who calls women fat broads and horsefaced lesbians. And, no, im not talking about donald trump. Im talking about mayor bloomberg. Jon oh stephen oh, thats got to sting. Though, we did know you werent talking about donald trump because you said billionaire. Warren cheers and applause stephen the point of that press conference was not public health, by the way. As the Washington Post put it, officials at trumps Coronavirus Briefing focused on preventing the spread of criticism of trump. Yes, and that is very contagious. Everyone i know has it. I might be patient zero. And this desire cheers and applause this desire cheers and applause got to be careful. Stier may have sensed the end was near for his campaign, because the night before he really cut loose at a rally where he joined rapper juvenile on stage for his hit back that as up. A white billionaire dancing with juvenile to a song about butts. The 2020 campaign is officially a madlib. laughter lets bid farewell to these three candidates. Jim, can you put them all up . First, mayor pete. Thank you for your campaign efforts. And it looks like jordan. Bidens already taken over his place. And now amy klobuchar, oh, joes lurg her with hot dish. She cant resist. And shes out of here and finally, we say goodbye to tom steyer, riding high off his win. applause trump also held a really last night. He was in the super tuesday state of nowk, and he pandered in a really strange way. You know, eric and laura named their daughter. You know what her name is . Carolina. Carolina. cheers and applause her name is carolina for a reason. Stephen for a reason . laughter are his grand kids named after things he needs to win reelection . These are my granddaughters, carolina and pennsylvania. Those are my grandsons, voter suppression, rust belt coal minor who votes against his economic selfinterest, and, of course and of course little ku kluxes caxkenny. I love you. Just a few days ago the pundits declared the campaign dead. I am here to report we are very much alive stephen thats right, folks they said we were dead but then they dug me up, strapped me to a metal slab, hit me with some lightning and frankensteined me back, jack. cheers and applause . So its time to say goodbye to elisabeth warren. Oh whistle here comes her horse. Ride, lizzie ride ride cheers and applause so now its down to biden and sanders. Showdown at high noon right before they both eat dinner. laughter either one of these men would be the oldest president in u. S. History, so its going to be important they choose a runny mate that is experienced, yet seems a lot younger. So. Jimmy carter. A few months ago it was great. It was the holidays. I was drunk on egg nog. I was watching cheer. I was falling in love with baby yoda. I was looking forward. I was looking forward to impeaching the from the. Remember that feeling. cheering were going to get to trump. John bolton is going to testify in the Senate Republicans are going to do the right thing its only march. laughter 2020 has done the impossible made me nostalgic for 2019. laughter . Coming up, more of Stephen Colberts best campaign monologues. Stephen youre finally going to get a chance to binge watch all that toilet paper you bought. You better watch it, jack, because im coming for it. I did not plan well. Look limu someone out there needs help customizing their Car Insurance with liberty mutual, so they only pay for what they need. False alarm. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty.

We had ample forewarning. But we did almost no testing, almost no contact tracing. Completely ignored the science, completely ignored the warning signs. There were things that could have been done. A lot of people have died needlessly, and theres nothing more frustrating than feeling like youre fighting against someone who should have your back.

Welcome back. If youre just joining us, im Sam Waterston. And if youre just joining us now, hello, im Sam Waterston. So far, we have seen Stephen Colbert valiantly cover the chaotic early days of this campaign. But we now turn to law order theme song oh, sorry. I should take this. Hello . Stephen hey, Sam Waterston. Stephen stephen yeah, i just turned on my tv, and i see youre doing some kind of clip show episode of my show, or something . You got it, big guy. Stephen tonight was supposed to be a rerun. I dont know who signed off on this or who even let you in the building during covid, but i did not agree to oops, dropped call. Anyway, as i was saying, we now turn to Stephen Colberts monologues from march of this year. This was when the coronavirus took cold in america, forcing people to quarantine in their homes. And colbert was faced with the biggest challenge of his professional life doing monologue jokes without a tie. Take a look. Dadadadoodoo. Stephen hey, everybody hi welcome to my bathroom. Im your host, Stephen Colbert. Youre watching a very special social distancing edition of the late show. The big story tonight is, all of you people, people all over america have hunkered down in their own houses to ride out the coronavirus. The c. D. C. Is saying this might go on for the next eight weeks, so get comfortable. Try to look on the bright side youre finally going to get a chance to binge watch all that toilet paper you bought. And you better watch it, jack. Because im coming for it. I did not plan well. I am coming to you from the late showsitary set. The ed sullivan my house. Plus, now ive got to wash the monkeys 53 for 20 seconds. Biden plans to continue campaigning virtually from home. It makes sense you know the old saying if it aint broke, dont fix it. And if it is broke and rising in the polls, lock it in the basement. Reportedly, the reason trump wanted this meaningful photo is because he was upset by coverage of the fact that he had been rushed to the underground bunker oned from night. One problem there was a crowd of Peaceful Protesters in the way. So he had military Police Open Fire with rubber bullets, flash grenade and tear gas. Not only is that a horrific horc abuse of the office of the presidency and our military. The tear gas is complete unnecessary. When people see trump walking toward them down the street, they naturally cry and vomit. If trump is looking for someone to blame, he should check out his reflection in the riot shields, because that new poll also says 61 disapproveof his handling of the protests. Thats not fair. Hes handling them just as well as he handles a bible. This delay in the results does not body well for november. Because you know that feeling you had between 9 00 p. M. And midnight on Election Night . Gt ready to be that drunk for five days. The point is this election is not going to be a sprint. Its going to be a marathon in that before its over, youre going to be pooping your pants and your nipples are going to be bleeding. Im back in new york city, as you can see, look. Its new york. Right there. Here, in the historic ed sullivan theaters office building. I got i got my desk calendar right here. March 12. Just left it right here, havent changed it since we left. That was the last night, right, march 12, in the studio . There it is. Okay . Ill just ill update that right now. Okay. I dont know whats going on here. laughter okay that that that feels about right. Feels about right. This is an historic announcement because harris is the first black woman and the first person of indian descent to be nominated for National Office by a major party. So trumps going to have a hard time deciding exactly how to be racist about her. I demand to see both of her birthday certificates. She was extraordinarily nasty. She was nasty to a level that was just a horrible thing. She was probably nastier she was very, very nasty. Stephen oh, my god how lazy are you . Youre just repeating what you said about hillary. Youre stuck in 2016, and thats not fair. Why should you be the only one who gets to live in a time when youre not president one person trump thinks harris was particularly nasty to is her new running mate. She said things during the debates, during the democrat primary debates that were horrible about sleepy joe, and i would think that he wouldnt have picked her. Stephen it is true. During the debates, Kamala Harris spanked biden, and trump would never work with a woman who did that to him for free. Folks, for four years, weve looked on in horror as donald trump tore down every norm in American Life from the constitution to english syntax to the definition of food pyramid. Well, tonight, tonight the democrats begin what joe biden has called a battle for the soul of this nation. But that were calling. Democrats assemble. Are you ready snoosmt to go person, woman, man, camera, tv. Stephen so beautiful. So great stephen speaking of john kasich, the former republican governor of ohio was one of the speakers tonight. He was there to underline the theme of this convention uniting america. Slightly more inspiring than the Republican Convention theme gas protesters and throw mailboxes into the sea. In lieu of a platform the rnc released a resolution of the undying support of trump. Thats not a party. Its a cult welcome to the convention, everybody. Take off your mask masks and pun your matchy nikes and maga hats. Then drink up your koolaid. Ladies and gentlemen, leaders and fighters for liberty and the american dream. The best is yet to come laughter stephen is the loud lady gone . Im scared this is the first time in my life ive had to turn down the volume on cspan. Im glad we already had our kids because i think i was too close to the tv. I might have been sterilized by that. laughter it all built to a crescendo when tim scott finished speaking five minutes before the end of the residential run time. So they just showed b roll of the white house. It ended early i cant imagine the chaos in the control room. What . Five we cant waste five minutes of prime time. Quick, send guilfoyle out there for some free scream hello, i need an object and the reason the democrats are destroying it. Thank you. Based on your suggestion of chia pet and sharia love, we take you to my larynx. All i can say and this is all i can say is that when it comes to donald trump, i hope getting out early is a trend that continues in november. Coming up, the late shows best campaign moments in the field. Election. fisherman vo how do i register to vote . Hmm . Hmm . Hmm . woman on porch vo can we vote by mail here . grandma vo youll be safe, right . daughter vo yes four girls vo the polls voted grandma vo go out and vote its so important man at poll vo woo grandma vo its the most important thing you can do [sfx typing sound] [sfx typing sound] [sfx typing sound] welcome back. Im Sam Waterston. And no these eyebrows arent implant. Theyre big naturals. Of course, we all know that to truly cover a campaign, you have to hit the road. So heres a look at the late show in the field, from back when it was still safe to go outside. Stephen senator thanks for talking to me today. Welcome to South Carolina. Thank you. Stephen obviously youre here to get to the hearts and mind of the South Carolinaians. To get to a South Carolinaians heart you is are to go through their stomach, the contents of which will eventually lodge in their heart, okay. You said youre a fan of fast food. Uhhuh. Stephen are there any ways in which you are not like donald trump . Yes. I read books. I laughter i care about people. Stephen okay, so there are a couple of reasons. A couple. Stephen a couple of ways youre different. Whats your favorite state so far . All of them. laughter . Stephen really . Yup. Stephen you have no thats very. Equitable of you. Whats your favorite child . Stephen i think it would probably be larry, my son larry. Nope, nope. Stephen he knows i love him most. Thats right. Stephen i love you, larry the other ones are great. The other ones are great. Dont get me wrong. Yeah. Stephen larry is really special. Larry is the one. Stephen i call larry the South Carolina of my children. If someone down here says something dumb or uninformed, we might just say, bless your heart. Right. Stephen bless your heart. I got it. Stephen you got it. I think im ready. Stephen donald trump definitely learned his lesson from the impeachment . Bless your little heart. laughter . Stephen very good, very good. Now, lets imagine im a billionaire and these ribs are my money. Okay, i want all of my money. Yes. Stephen its my money. Theyre my ribs. Yes. Stephen i dont want anyone else to have any of my ribs. Right. Stephen how many of my ribs would you take away . Its like a Little Corner right off the edge there. Stephen that much. No, nos stephen thats the best part. It would be just stephen no, i want that part. You know what that part would do come on. Thats universal child care you jerk here. Stephen no, im going to lick them all. Now im going to lick all the ribs so nobody else can have any ribs. You know what, well take it anyway. Stephen do y know the joke . No. Stephen why is michelob ultralike making love in a canoe . No. Stephen because theyre both bleep close to water. Bless your heart. applause stephen since our reporters, Jim Anchorton and Jill Newslady are such huge fans of trump, we sent these two down to orlando and they filed this story that the Mainstream Media doesnt want you to see. See. Were trying to do the real news out here. Yes. A lot of fake news out there. Were trying to do the real ones. Oh, are you fox . No, real news. You have heard of blasting . Yeah. Were narrowed casting. Im trying to get the word around, trying to get the word around about the new chants. What do you think about this one . Hey, hey, ho, ho, lock up Hillary Clinton. I love it. Shes into it. Im so in. Hey, hey ho, ho lock up Hillary Clinton hey, hey ho, ho Hillary Clinton should be arrested. The only reason we won is because our Electoral College system. Neither of you gentlemen have brought up Hillary Clintons emails. Why arent we talking about Hillary Clintons boo boo one question for you you think ivanka trump is really hot, right . I dont look at ivanka trump youre honest abe. You have to answer honestly. I dont look at her as female. I look at her as the president s wife. 2020 make America Great again whats up, bros. If you could choose to be with trump tonight instead of your husband and and be trumps not even wife, lets just say side piece would you take that deal . Yes, absolutely. Who wouldnt . When wouldnt. Stephen there are so many candidates right now if a random person walked up to me on the street and said they were running for president , i would probably believe them. I decided to test that theory by sending one of our writers, bryan stack, out to to the street to see if people would believe he was one of the countless middleaged, white male democratic candidates. We gave him the name gregory whiteman, with a y, to keep is subtle, and told him to just make up Everything Else. Take a look. Can i ask how you feel about gretry why,man thats me. Im glad you think im fine. I doubt that myself sometimes. Youre great. Im against high taxes partly because i did 12 years in prison for tax evasion. But im doing all right now. I learned my lesson, sort of. Were in law enforcement, so oh, you are. Well maybe ive said too much. Stephen he met with reallife president ial candidate and governor of the great state of montana, Steve Bullock, at a popular Iowa Campaign stop. Great meeting you. Stephen bullock was the perfect candidate for gregory to talk to, since he and yhytman have similar poll numbers. Im gregory yrytman. Can i ask which of the two of us you were most impressed with. Thats a great question. I think its a tie. Thats very kind of you. Im not going to give up. I want to represent the forgotten americans, folks like jay inslee, michael bennett, john delaney and four or five others. I forget them, and thats my point. But i ask you to believe in me, gegry whytman, a believable choice, and together with your support, we can build a better future, and also, hopefully impress my wife. Were going through a bit of a rough patch. Shes out canvassing for elisabeth warren. laughter yt, man, 2020. Secretary castro, it was an honor to meet you. And thank you for talking to me, and i hope you have a great president ial campaign. Thank you, sir. Coming up, stephen interviews joe biden. Stephen are you going nuts . laughter .

The Nissan Altima now offering the most techadvanced engine in its class trump took a good economy and drove it back into the ditch through his failure to get covid under control, his failure to deliver real relief to working people. Does he not understand and see the tens of millions of people whove had to file for unemployment this year, so far . The people who lost wages while the cost of groceries has gone up dramatically. Donald trump has been almost singularly focused on the stock market, the dow, the nasdaq not you, not your families. My plan will help create at least five million new, goodpaying jobs and create them right here in the United States of america. So the future is made in america. Ill be laser focused on working families. Im joe biden, and i approve this message. Our bargain detergent couldnt keep up. With us. Turns out its mostly water. So, we switched back to tide.

Oh, its you again during the course of this campaign, Stephen Colbert sat down with several of the most powerful people in the world. But on nights when he wasnt interviewing bts, he also talked to some president ial candidates. Here are some of the best moments of colberts interviews with the people who want to be in charge of the free world. Love you, jhope. Stephen mr. Vice president , you want to talk about issues, but a lot of people want to talk about your gaffes. You have called yourself a gaffe machine. In the last few weeks youve confused New Hampshire for vermont. Said Bobby Kennedy and m. L. K. Were assassinated in the late 70s. Assured us, im not going nuts. Followup question are you going nuts . laughter look, the reason i came on the jimmy kimmel show is because im not laughter i i i got it. Stephen youre fifth nationally in the latest polls. Youve got a shot at this theres some time. Stephen should we worry we might lose our big gulps if you become president of the United States . No, but can i have this . Stephen sure, sure. cheers and applause . So refreshing. I like it. Stephen i want to ask my producer, whats latest, do we know do you know what the latest results are from the great, if confused state of iowa . So the last i checked, by the measure of state delegate equivalents, we are on track to be the firstplace winner in the iowa caucuses. Stephen but you actually did not wait on the night of the caucus. You went ahead and said, yeah, im pretty sure we won. That is what historians called ballsy. Why Even Campaign in New Hampshire . Why not just declare victory there now . Can you name me as the winner of the emmys so i dont have to give a congratulations to john oliver next september right now . One hopeful sign i see in america is the third or fourth thing i learned about you was that you were a gay man. I learned Everything Else first, and now, i think it bears noting that you are the first l. G. B. T. Q. Person to win delegates in any president ial contest. cheers and applause . What that means what does that say to you cheers and applause and ill let them have their moment. What what does that mean to you personally . And what do you think that means about america . Well, what it means to me personally is that, you know, the very same thing that i thought might mean i would never get to serve in uniform or in office. Turns out to be talk about god having a sense of humor. It turns out to be part of how ive had a chance to make a difference. I didnt set out to be the gay candidate or the gay president. But i also was open about who i am. And here we are, and my hope more broadly is that, you know, i know theres a lot of people there are a lot of young people out there wondering if they fit, feeling like maybe they dont belong in their communities, maybe even questioning if they belong in their own families. And hopefully this is one significant bit of proof that they belong after all, and they belong in this country. cheers and applause . Coming up, more of Stephen Colberts best campaign interviews. Its open hey. Think youre managing your moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis or Crohns Disease . Are you ok . I did. But even when i was there. I never knew when my symptoms would keep us apart. So, i talked to my doctor and learned. Humira is for people who still have uc or crohns symptoms after trying other medications. And humira helps people achieve remission that can last. So you can experience few or no symptoms. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections. Serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. Im on break. Its hoagie time. Its in my contract.

Honey lemon ahh woo Vicks Vapocool drops now in honey lemon chill push the button the time has come to galvanize hello, again. Im still Sam Waterston. We continue our look back at some of the best moments from the late show with Stephen Colbert 2020 Campaign Coverage. You handsome devil. Stephen my guest tonight has spent decades working towards political revolution, and just today suspended his campaign. Please welcome to a late show, senator bernie sanders. Senator, thank you for being here. It is an honor to have you after your announcement today. Senator, why is now the right time, in your opinion, to end your campaign. You say youre still interested in getting delegates and amassing more delegates and taking them to the convention. Why stop the campaign now . Well, i think for a couple of reasons. I think the mathematics is pretty clear they cant win. And while you can make the argument that you should run a campaign, fight for your ideas, bring people together, even if you cant win, i think the pandemic that we are experiencing right now makes even that virtually impossible. Stephen the first question would you like to join the ticket . Id be honored if asked. And im honored to be a part of the conversation. But, honestly, let me just tell you something. I will do everything in my power wherever i am to help joe biden win. I believe this is the most important and without this is not rhetoric. I truly believe this is the most important election in our lifetime. Stephen in those debates, you landed haymakers on joe biden. I mean, they were his his teeth were like chicklets all over the stage. And now, i believe you that youre fully supportive of him. How does that transition happen . How do you go from being such a passionate opponent on such bedrock principles for you, and now, you guys seem to be pals . It was a debate. Stephen not everybody landed punches like you did, though. It was a debate stephen so you dont mean it. In all seriousness, ive known joe a long time, and i care about him deeply. And as you know, we all have family members or friends with whom we have disagreements. That doesnt overcome or overshadow the commonality between us and the connections between us. Stephen well, we all know were in a crisis, not just nationally but globally. Not enough attention really is being paid to the necessity for grief right now. For the grief for the loss of close to 100,000 people so far. There hasnt been a public expression from the top of that grief, which helps guide the helps guide the countrys soul in times of crisis like this. What can you say to those people who are worried about the future and have no outlet right now, nationally and collectively, for their grief . So many families, every one of those, now over 90,000 its going to be well over 100 before this is over who have lost somebody, left behind a family, left behind somebody with a broken heart, with a feeling like the feeling you have when you lose someone you love, as you know, is like theres a big black hole you seem to get sucked into. But youve got to remember, over time, youve got to remember that theres still part of you, that your heart, your soul, its who you are. Theres this connection that is real. And the only way i know from me how to get through it is to find purpose. What would the person you lost, what would they want you doing . What can you do to make it better . What can you do to deal with the circumstance, why they did lose their life . Stephen are we going to be all right . Yes, we are. I promise you, were going to be we will get through this and were going to come out stronger. Coming up, more best of the late sho i didnt choose this job because it was easy. But i cant say i expected this. To fight these fires, we need funding plain and simple. For this crisis, and for the next one. Prop 15 closes tax loopholes so rich corporations pay their fair share of taxes. So firefighters like me, have what we need to do the job, and to do it right. The big corporations want to keep their tax loopholes. Its what they do. Well, i do what i do. If yould like to help, join me and vote yes on prop 15.
