Its a late show with Stephen Colbert. Tonight finishing on a high vote. Plus, stephen welcomes South CarolinaSenate CandidateJaime Harrison. And musical guest Elvis Costello featuring jon batiste and stay homin. And now, live on tape from the ed sullivan Theater Office building in new york city, its Stephen Colbert stephen welcome to a late show. Im your host, Stephen Colbert. Ladies and gentlemen, i rarely say this, and i never mean it, but we have breaking news. Just moments before i walked into the studio im in right now, i learned something shocking. Two years ago you may remember, the New York Times published an oped called i am part of the resistance inside the Trump Administration by somebody known only as anonymous. People have been guessing who this ever since it was released. Well, this afternoon anonymous was revealed and its miles teller. Star of whiplash, the beloved fantastic four series, and the upcoming top gun reboot. I have no idea how miles teller got such intimate details of classified information maybe tom cruise told him but the Trump Administration has got to be reeling right now from im sorry, what . And im being told its not miles teller. Then who is it . Miles taylor . Whos that . laughter the guy from d. H. S. Who left like a year ago and already endorsed joe biden . Well, thats not news. Thats ridiculous call me when miles teller does something. That kids got heat. Sorry. This is why i never say breaking news. I overreacted, in that i reacted at all. Thats on me. I apologize, lets go on. Where was i . Coffee. One second. laughter right, okay, yeah. It is october 28, the final wednesday before the president ial election, or, depending on who wins, the final wednesday. Because emotions are running high, and so are the vote totals, because with six days still to go, thanks to early voting, more than half the total 2016 vote is already in. Thats pretty impressive. But if 2016 taught us anything, its that more than half sometimes isnt enough. So far, biden is off to a good start, in part because 2020 has been a recordshattering year for early voting among young people. That is dope to the wap, my tubular younglings laughter this campaign has gone on for an eternity. And 2020 is projected to be most expensive u. S. Election ever, with spending as high as 14 billion. And thats before you count money for booze and zoom sessions with my psychic. Whos going to win, esmerelda . Most of the Campaign Cash has gone to tv ads. And thanks to a new report, were learning some more about what tv shows the candidates are advertising on. Theres a lot of similarities. Both campaigns are running a lot of ads on reruns of the big bang theory. Thats a little surprising. Trumps no fan of science. But so far no ones made the big bang is a chinese hoax. But the campaigns have been targeting some different audiences. For instance, trump has prioritized reruns of the Andy Griffith show, which ran from 1960 to 1968. Not to be outdone, biden started advertising on the train entering the station channel. I was on that train. Got into a fistfight with one of the lumiere brothers. Release the directors cut come on, jacques but theres one show that trump has put a lot of ad dollars into that kind of surprised me. Because trump has aired almost 1,200 commercials on the late show with Stephen Colbert. Wow. Has he seen how i talk about him on this show . Well, i guess it wouldnt be the first time trumps paid someone to spank him. groove is in the heart this slam paid for by donald trump slam stephen on the rally front, trump is spending his time shoring up states he won in 2016. Yesterday, trump was in michigan, where he said something a little odd for a sitting president. I dont sound like a politician because im not a politician. I never wanted to be a politician. Stephen that sentiment was okay four years ago. But now knrur the politician. Thats like your surgeon looking at you right before you go under and saying, as surgeon by the way, i dont sound like a doctor because im not a doctor. I never wanted to be a doctor. Pokey stick but the clip from this rally thats getting a lot of attention is this attempt to appeal to suburban women you know what else . Im also getting your husbands. They want to get back to work, right . They want to get back to work. Were getting your husbands back to work. Stephen thats great news, ladies. Donald trump is going to get your husbands back to work, so you can get all your ladychores done, like voting for joe biden. Today, before departing for arizona, trump held a quick News Conference where he was asked about the recent unrest in philadelphia. And he described the scene in a very donald trump way. People are breaking into stores and walking out with washing machines and walking out with all sorts of things, and it shouldnt be allowed. Stephen for the record, its not allowed. And ill say this looting is wrong, but if you can walk out of a store carrying a washing machine, i thinnk you should be allowed to keep it, and not just during riots. That should be, like, a blanket policy. Like those restaurants where if you can finish the 72ounce steak, you dont have to pay for it. If you look at the recent covid news, you might want to purell your eyeballs, because its clear that this virus is going everywhere fast. Especially in states that trump desperately needs, like texas. In el paso, the number of admitted Covid Patients has more than tripled over the past three weeks, forcing doctors to treat some patients in a Field Hospital in a nearby parking lot. That is terrible. The only things that should happen in a parking lot are parking, selling pumpkins, and getting high with a bong you made out of a pumpkin. Heres how bad it is while it took our country three months for the first 500,000 cases, the u. S. Is now reporting 500,000 new cases just in the past week. Clearly, were a long way from ending the covid19 pandemic. On the other hand, yesterday, a new White House Press release announced that one of trumps biggest accomplishments is ending the covid19 pandemic. Now, while that is clearly insane, declaring victory prematurely is a proud republican tradition. At this point, trumps not just nero fiddling while rome burns, hes nero sending out a press release that says, youre not on fire. Id say this is donald trump peeing on our leg and telling us its raining, but he usually pays russian prostitutes to do that. Im donald j. Trump and i approved this message. Stephen thank you, sir. I cant believe were getting checks from donald trump. And they cleared. This press release from the mouth of madness was created by the white houses office of science and technology policy, and if youre wondering just how science they are, one of the other major accomplishments they tout is, understanding our planet. as trump look, i get the planet better than anyone. Its blue and its green, heaven is up, hell is down, its shaped like a meatball, and the whole thing revolves around me. But there are some quotes from leading academic minds in this document. One says, president trumps policies and investments in science and technology ensure america stands ready to solve todays most pressing challenges an endorsement that comes from worldrenowned scientist ivanka trump. laughter dont believe me . Here she is in a lab a few years back, distilling pure crap. No one is buying it. Even an official on trumps own Covid Task Force said, its mindboggling. Theres no world in which anyone can think that statement is true. Maybe the president. But i dont see how even he can believe that. Its easy. Just consult his closest medical adviser dexamethasone hallucinations. Covids gone away and donald trump has washboard abs. Stephen get out of here get out of here last night the l. A. Dodgers beat the tampa bay raises in game six to win the world series. Congratulationsing to the dodgers, who havent won the big one since the 80s when their uniform looked like this. Bit there is one thing about last nights game, it was interesting. During the eighth inning, Sylvester Turner was pulled out with now explanation opinion was he injured . Was he traded . Was he finally swallowed by his own beard . None of the above. Because we later learned that turner took the field while still awaiting the results of his Tuesday Morning covid test, but it was only last night that, right around the bottom of the sixth, the lab returned the news. Which confirmed a positive. Nice job, m. L. B. Testing. You are officially the only thing slower than baseball. Of course, given the diagnosis, turner did the responsible thing and hit the dugout for a hug sesh you get the coronavirus and you. And whose weather watcher are you . I dont care. And then i kiss my own wife. And take off the mask with all the teammates whooo dont infect each other, fellas. You are the champs. You get to go to the white house. This is the most irresponsible behavior by an athlete since Lebron Jamess pregame anthrax toss. Of course, everyone is suffering under this pandemic. Well, almost everyone. Because yesterday the internet blew up after discovering that Kim Kardashian west threw a party for herself and dozens of friends on a private island. Any sensible person would want to keep that under wraps. Which is why Kim Kardashian posted it all on twitter, saying after two weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, i surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time. And you think thats normal . Yeah, me and my other reality show star siblings took a private jet to a secret island for a couple of weeks. Its just nice to get back into a routine, you know . And they partied hard. According to kim k. we danced, rode bikes, swam near whales, kayaked, watched a movie on the beach, and so much more. I assume so much more means hunting the waitstaff for sport. Im just worried theyre going to give rich people who do whatever they want on a private island a bad name. laughter see you soon, richard branson. Would you go if branson invited us . Would you go. Yes. Stephen legal me you have to go now if he invites us. But in spite of the extravagance of this party, kim managed to stay grounded, tweeting i realize that for most people, this is something that is so far out of reach right now, so in moments like these, i am humbly reminded of how privileged my life is. Yes, because this all screams humble. Its like Mother Teresa said humility is the mother of all virtues. But the daddy . Its this lambo, baby vroom, vroom eat mama t. s dust weve got a great show for you tonight. Ill be talking to South CarolinaSenate CandidateJaime Harrison and rock legend Elvis Costello.

Jon hello, stephen. Whats the word . Whats the word. Stephen the word is im really looking forward to hearing you and Elvis Costello perform tonight. He is an incredible songwriter and i had a great time working with him. It was a pleasure. Stephen he is a genius and he had very nice things to say about you when we talked earlier. Jon oh. Stephen yeah, yeah, he gload, jon. You know what im also excited about . Tuesday we are live on showtime where were going to take the whole car scpran drive it over to pay cable for one night because i think norah is going to be sitting in this chair. Right . Is that whats going on . Its going to be great. And, jon, are you prepared for any eventuality . We have to steel ourselves. We were too raw. We were a raw nerve in 2016. Jon that was a lot. That was a lot, ooo, that was a lot. Stephen that was a throt process. That was a big old meal of gravel and tar. Jon yeah, yeah. We we have to prepare our spirit. But i think were on the right track so, you know, well just go into it and believe in the people. Stephen thats right. Do you have any believe in the people music for us . Jon oh, my goodness i would play this other thing, but wed have to pay for it. laughter stephen jon batiste, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you, jon. Jon yay come on stephen see you tomorrow. Folks, trump has trailed in the polls pretty much since he was elected. But the g. O. P. Has a plan to get trump more votes have fewer voters. Theyve been doing everything they can to make it hard for americans to vote during the pandemic. For example, Texas Governor greg abbott, seen here trying to make out over zoom. Abbott recently issued a ruling that limited election drop boxes to one per county. Texas is big. In heavily democratic harris country, essentially means one ballot box for 4. 7 Million People. But im sure it will all stay very orderly as long as voters remember to take a number. And thats just one states Voter Suppression plan. In 36 states, including georgia, voters are expected to show photo i. D. In pennsylvania and wisconsin, republicans are fighting to restrict mailin votes. In mississippi, absentee ballot envelopes must be stamped and signed by a notary public. And in alabama, to cast a ballot, black people have to pull the sword from the voting stone. This is a coordinated effort to stop people from voting all over the country. The Washington Post released a series of videos of closed door conservative machinations, in which one speaker told the group this is a spiritual battle we are in. This is good versus evil. We have to do everything we can to win. And another said, be not afraid of the accusations that youre a voter suppressor, youre a racist, and so forth. Yes, be not afraid. Clearly, a biblical quote from the book of doucheoronomy. So is Voter Suppression just part of the game, or is it inherently evil . Here to explain the g. O. P. s position is republican election strategist, fox news contributor, and Founding Partner of judicial watch, cobra commander. Thank you for being here, mr. Commander. Thanks for having me, stephen. Hope you and your family are staying safe. Stephen thank you. And im glad to see that youre also wearing a mask. Of course donald trump is a superspreader hes cobras most powerful biological weapon perhaps if we dropped him in houstons water supply. Stephen focus. Sorry. Stephen how do you respond to critics who say the g. O. P. s Election Strategy is to suppress as many votes as you can . Stephen, im hurt. My colleagues and i believe every american has the fundamental right to vote as long as they can present two forms of photo i. D. , a recent utility bill, and a video of their last colonoscopy. Bernie sanders could be hiding up there stephen okay, but dont restrictions like photo i. D. Unfairly target certain groups of voters . No were merely trying to prevent voter fraud. Stephen but every study has shown that there is no voter fraud. See . Its working. Because the best way to prevent voter fraud is to skip the fraud and just prevent voter. Ooh, what if we put up signs directing them to a polling place which in fact lead them to the edge of a pit full of cyberscorpions who are trained in the arts stephen mr. Commander, stay with me. Stay with me if youre just trying to protect the vote, then how do you defend senator mike lees tweet, democracy isnt the objective. We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that. Behold my death ray stephen what does that have to do with anything . Nothing. Just trying to change the subject. That mike lee guy sounds like a cartoon supervillain. I mean, i want to crush the will of the people under my boot, but im not a jerk about it stephen cobra commander, everybody well be right back with South CarolinaSenate Candidate, Jaime Harrison. Black friday used to mean deals gone in a flash. That was black friday then. This. Is black friday now. Target has deals all november. With new deals each week, instore and on target. Com. Its black friday now, at target. Well be right back with elvis she wanted a roommate to help with the cooking. But she wanted someone who loves cats. So, we got griswalda. Dinners almost ready. But one thing we could both agree on was getting geico to help with our renters insurance. Yeah, switching and saving was really easy drink it all up. Good could have used a little salt. Visit geico. Com and see how easy saving on renters insurance can be. Only one of them is always ripe for the picking. V8 the original Plant Powered drink. Veg up. Stephen hey, welcome back, everybody. My first guest tonight is in one of the mostwatched senate races of the year running against Lindsey Graham in my home state of South Carolina. Please welcome Jaime Harrison thanks so much for being here. Hey, stephen. Stephen nice to see you again. Its going seeing you. Thanks for having me on. Stephen how is everything back in the palmetto state . Everything is good. Its busy, the light at the end of the tunnel, november 3, is when the big day takes place. Were exciting. Stephen how is early voting going in South Carolina . Amazing. Were blowing it out here, stephen. Over a Million People today voted in South Carolina. We doubled what it was in 2016. Stephen wow. Now i have i have followed your run against lindsey since before you were running against lindy, because the word was you were going to run against lindsey. And i dont think im the only one who went, thats great. Its a bit of a long shot. Congratulations, already, for how youve proven the possibility of this. Now you just have to push over the line, run through the tape. Why do you think this is different . Why do you think now its a different South Carolina or its the same South Carolina, but its a different situation for someone running against graham . Well, stephen, i think partly because Lindsey Graham is different. You know, its almost watching him is like watching a live version of invasion of the body snatch erdz. Who knows who this guy is. The Lindsey Graham 1. 0 is someone we used to like and respect and you thought at the end of the day, he could do what was in the best interest of the people of South Carolina. This new guy is only focused on himself. Hes only focused on his own political power and political relevance. And the folks in South Carolina are hungry for somebody thats going to work on behalf of them and their families and their communities. And we are building up a campaign here in South Carolina like we havent seen in a very long time. And its a campaign built on hope, making sure that the American Dream is alive and well for so many. You know, ive lived the American Dream. I grew up in a mobile home, son of a teen mom, raised by grandparents with a fourth grade and eighth grade education. And i was able to get out of that situation to now run for the u. S. Senate. I mean, that only happens in this great nation. And, you know, and thats what this campaign is all about. Thats why we get volunteers coming out of woo wood works. If folks want to volunteer go to jaimeharrison. Com. Wed love to have you as we push through. Stephen nicely slid in there, future senator. laughter now you say that, you know, you want to talk to people about hope, and you want to show people there is hope. Well, you know, as well as i, the great motto of the great state of South Carolina, doom sparrow, while i breathe, i hope. What does that mean to you personally, and what do you think it has to do now with whats going on with the American People . Well, you know, stephen, that motto might as well have been the theme of my life because it was hope that really got me through all of the barriers and things that i faced. But, you know, as i go around the state of South Carolina and i talk to parents and i chat with children, you know, that little flicker of hope that i had in my eyes, i dont see in the eyes of the kids here in South Carolina. When i talk to their parents, the parents dont say that their kids are going to be better off than they were. And thats what we fundamentally have to change. We live in a state, stephen, where 38 of Rural Communities dont have access to broadband. Where four of our rural hospitals have closed over the past few years. 250,000 people dont have health care. And all of that happened under Lindsey Grahams watch, and that is what we have to change. And thats what im fighting for each and every day to make life better for those folks. Stephen i want to get back to lindsey for just one second, and that is he said multiple times that if somebody was nominated for the Supreme Court in the final year of Donald Trumps first term, he wouldnt be in favor of confirming that person. And hes thrown up a lot of gorilla dust to try to, you know, make people forget that he said that. But he broke a promise to the American People. He said he gave his word. What do you think that means to the people of South Carolina for someone to not have enough honor to keep a word that is on tape . Well, listen, the way that i grew up, my grandfather always used to tell me, he said, jaime, a man is only as good as his word. So, in essence, you know, Lindsey Grahams word is meant or worth much of anything, stephen. And i think the greatest travesty that you can do as a Public Servant is to lie to the pople that you represent. And thats what lindsey has done. And this isnt the first time. Hes lied about term limits. When he first got there, he was one of those folks with a contract with america. And he said,ill stay there for no longer than 12 years well, its 25 years now, and hes running for yet another six. So this man just doesnt keep his word because all he concerns himself with is power. And thats why folks in South Carolina are about to give him a oneway ticket back to seneca, South Carolina, or maralago, or wherever he wants to go, but hes leaving washington, d. C. Stephen well, you can help him keep his word and limit his turn on tuesday. Thats exactly right. Stephen he should thank you for that. Now, you called your campaign a movement for a new south. I love the south. What do you what do you think the future of the south is . I think the future of the south is bright. I think the future of South Carolina is bright. I think South Carolinas better days are ahead of her and not behind her. I think Lindsey Graham is a relic of the old south. And, you know, what i mean by this, stephen, is that i believe a new south is bold. It is inclusive. Its diverse. Its a place where all of our folks should have their voices appreciated, valued, and heard. You know, this is a seat, the one that im vying for, was the seat of john c. Calhoun, it was the seat of strorm thank you very muchond, and South Carolina on november 3 has the opportunity of writing a whole brandnew history for the south, which we can become the very first state to have two African American senators serving at the very same time. I think that is the new south that we want to see, that we want to hear, that we want to be a part of. Stephen a model for the nation. South carolina has a chance to do it. Jaime harrison, thank you so much for being here. Good luck on tuesday. Nice to see you again, my friend. Its good seeing you, too. Well be right back with Elvis Costello. Thanks, jaime. I always loved you svenjannin, i never said it but. dramatic crying whoa did svenrod just die . Yeah can you do it again . Sure, sure i always loved you. Oh man. Missed it again. Alexa, rewind 10 seconds. Oh man. Missed it again. Chances are you have some questions right now here are a couple answers. Lysol disinfectant spray and disinfecting wipes together can be used on over 100 surfaces. And kill up to 99. 9 of viruses and bacteria. Unfortunately, we cant answer every question you have right now. Lysol. What it takes to protect. Anyone making less than 400,000 a year wont pay a penny more, and im going to ask the very big corporations to pay their fair share. Were going to invest in creating millions of goodpaying jobs. Were going to ease the burden of the major cost in your life health care. Were going to protect Social Security and increase the benefits for millions of seniors.

Stephen oh, hey. Welcome back, everybody. My next guest is a grammy awardwinning songwriter and rock n roll hall of famer. Please welcome back to a late show, Elvis Costello hello, Elvis Costello. Hello, stephen. How are you doing . Stephen oh, i like that. I like the calm. I like the intimacy. Its like a. S. M. R. I feel like i should be going to sleep soon. Well, dont do that. Weve got a lot weve got a lot to talk about. Sleep on your own stephen are you calling us from inside an art installation. What is that background you have there . Yes, i am. You guessed just right, that i am inside an art installation. How did you know that . Stephen thats what i get paid for. You is are two pairs of glasses on your head there, elvis. Its a fashion thing. All the kids will be doing it soon. Stephen i didnt know if these blew out at the last moment you would have another one come down, like a blast shield. Yeah, yeah. Stephen i havent seen you in forever and a day, which is terrible, because im not telling any secrets to anybody out there, certainly not to you, that you are my favorite rock artist of all time. What have you been doing over the last, say, four years . Over the last four years . Stephen youve got about 15 seconds. Youve got about 15 seconds. I would say ive ive written quite a few songs. Ive traveled many miles, and did things like get on planes and go to other countries to record, something you would never, ever imagine now, until just a few months ago. Stephen okay, now lets get to the last seven months. How have you been holding up under covid quarantine . Were you on tour when everything locked down . Well, i was looking at an audience and thinking, they all are wonder whether they are taking a chance coming here, in the last week of the tour. We started to see empty spaces in soldout houses. And i came into the wings on the last night of the tour in london and said to the guys, i think this could be it. Lets go out there and play hurry down doomsday, the bugs are taking over, a song of mine which i thought would catch the mood of the moment. A week later i was back home with my family on Vancouver Island and the Prime Minister was in the i. C. U. It really wasnt funny. At that moment, everybody was still treating this as a drop of poison in the ocean and it will go away. And as you know, some people continue to believe its all made up. Stephen right. Unfortunately, that doesnt work for my friends who have passed in this last little time. Stephen same here. It is its been very sad. For myself, ive been tremendously grateful for the time. When you say, how am i holding . Im holding my wife and children in my arms. Im not on a bus between iowa and omaha in the summer months. Im here with them every day. We sit and have supper. And ive tried to make best use of the time. I just refuse to feel sorry for myself when people m friends in new york were at one point really struggling. I have friends who havent fared so well with the isolation. I dont really like people that much, so i im fine with my own company. Im an only child know no, seriously, i have tried to make the best use of it. Ive done a lot of writing, a lot of recording, and im grateful for what this has given me. Stephen the new album is called hey clockface its your 31st studio album for those of you keeping score. The first song was released june 1, no flag, immediately heralded as a protest song at a moment when the United States and the world was being gripped by protest. Was that released in that moment with that in mind . No, those sort of things happen by coincidence. I had written the song last year for the day when you get up and the ways of the world make you feel no allegiance, no philosophy, no theology will console me. And you make a furious sound. Now, in my case, i did something slightly reckless, as we would think of it now. I went to, you know, where the wind blew me, and nobody knew me, to helsinki. You know, the musical hub of the world. Stephen sure, rock n roll hall of fame, helsinki. The finns claim to have invent of vented tango. That alone would take me there. Stephen invented tango, and tapas. Yes. When i made this clattering sound that is no flag and people heard in it some coincidental alignment in the stars and in the in the headlines. I could not have planned that, and, you know, the song will still sound hopefully it will still sound good next week. Stephen its not the only album you have got out right now. Youre glutting youre gluth the market right now. Also, this massive how many albums do you get with the new armed forces complete boxed set here . That is six record albums, four 12inch, two 10inch, three singles, a fist full of comic books. Stephen what what the lr notes the liner notes are all comic books, which are fantastic. What is the inspiration for these . Well, the art work for armed forces was pop art to begin with. Our late friend bonnie bubbles did the original art work. Todd alcott did these covers. One of them there, i think maybe a couple of them did raise some questions, you know. Theres one there where im being menaced by by an attractive blond woman carrying cudgels. And somebody asked, ythis . And i said, well, sad to say, that was my life then. Stephen thats the way you want to go. Yeah. Well, look at those muscles there. I mean look how how buff i was. Stephen youre ripped. Youre ripped. Those were the days. Yeah. Stephen elvis, before i let you go, i want to ask you one question. A lot of politicians use songs that a, they dont have the rights to for their rally and artists get angry about that and send angry letters. I assume this happened to you in past. If there was a song that you think would fit a trump rally of yours, what would you suggest . I wrote a Campaign Song for a musical adaptation of bud shul schulbergs a face in the crowd. It should be open. We both know why that isnt happening. Can i read these lines. I think they speak for my heart. They say what i feel but cannot express. Stephen sure. If youre tired of the lies of politicians and of preachers, you can put your trust in me. Help me be your brothers keeper. If you pay too many taxes, think salvation should be cheaper, just say blood and hot sauce. When the bailiffs are at the door and you want to vent your spleen, vaseline, my pom pompad, im twice the man you should have been. Hand round the ammunition and the gasoline.
