theme song playing cheers and applause stephen welcome to the report crowd chanting Stephen Stephen thank you very much. A very special welcome to the seventh level magic users out there. laughter nation, i will get right to the big news. Herman cain is under attack. This is a dark, dark day for america. And im not just saying that because hes, you know. laughter american. laughter of course, when youre top in the polls, the media digs through your past. Its not fun but it beats being john huntsman. No ones even digging through his present. And now comes trumpedup charges that when cain was head of the National Restaurant association he harassed female employees with gestures that were not overtly sexual but made the women uncomfortable. laughter all right. Naturally i assume the gesture was something innocuous like. laughter it could be anything. Incidentally, thats also a great way to get out of juror duty. laughter well, last night herman cain went on Greta Van Susteren to herman van explain hipltsz. Jim . I made a gesture saying oh. I was standing close to her and i made a gesture. You are the same height as my wife. And brought my hand didnt touch her up to my chin and said youre the same height as my wife because my wife comes up to my chin. Stephen women. laughter they always take comments about their height as something sexual. Like, hey, lets stand back to back to see whos taller except ill be facing you without any pants on. laughter Everybody Knows whos really to blame for this controversy. Some anonymous ladies have spurred up a controversy with respect to the false claim of Sexual Harassment. Yes these ladies are the real harassers. Hiding behind their anonymity just because they were paid a settlement to leave their jobs in exchange for their silence. audience reacts and if you dont talk, clearly youre lying. But cain is allowed to speak, therefore he is telling the truth. Its a classic case of he said shes legally prohibited from saying. laughter still not convinced . Then herman cain has a question for you inaudible open and shut. Who hasnt been accused of Sexual Harassment . Okay, show of hands. Show of hands. Ladies, raise both hands. laughter now shake it up. laughter by the way, ladies, ill have some nondisclosure agreements for you to sign on the way out. Folks, Everybody Knows it is day 46 of okay pay wall street and it is a disorganized mess. I mean think of it. At this point, the tea party already had their own news network. They had the backing of former republican majority leader dick armey and his Political Action committee Freedom Works. He funneled so much cash to the tea partyers that they were able to upgrade their tricorn hats to quad corn. And soon the tea party became dick armeys dick armey. Well, i dont see any reason why we in the colbert superpac cant become playas with the wall street occupyyas by throwing our cash around. So recently i went down there to make them an offer i couldnt refuse. Last night i showed you part one. Tonight, in a surprise twist, part two. laughter jim . Previously on Stephen Colbert occupies occupy wall street. I went deep undercover in zucotti park and i met two young rebels justin and ketchup. I invited them to my penthouse suite and offered to coopt the movement for their own wellbeing. laughter i worry about you especially, justin. Ketchup can take care of herself. Shes tough. Im not worried about ketchup. She looks like she can take some punishment. You, justin, you im worry about. Youre fragile. Let me be your sugar daddy. And now dramatic conclusion of my cooccupation. You have something i want. Ill be open. You have a movement. I wanted in on the tea party but i dragged my feet and dick armey jumped on it with Freedom Works and i feel like a tool for not getting a piece of that. What do i need to do . Whatever whatever it is, any boots on the ground on this one . I dont think we can give that to you, stephen. Stephen youre not going to give it to me, im going to pay for it. Its not about your money. Its about the thing were trying to build here and it doesnt require your superpac money. Stephen excuse me, im sorry. Oh, hey, come on in. Hey, everybody, this is yoshi. She wiese the superpac and shes shes our masseuse. This is justin and this is ketchup. Or catsu in your language. How does that feel . It feels good, i guess. Stephen tell me about some of the popular discontent that youve heard the people on the street are feeling. Just a lot of frustration, a lot of anger. What do you think the greatest remedy for this anger is . Ketchup . What do i think the remedy is . Stephen yoshi. I think we need to start laughs i think we need to start from the ground. Stephen does that feel good . It does. That we need to start from the ground up. Stephen im just saying let the superpac help you and this is how were rolling all the time. Popping the champagne, yoshis on the jet. This time tomorrow you could be having a massage in london talking about the downtrodden. From up here, you know what i mean . You can see everything. With all due respect, stephen i think weve been able to get our message out pretty well on our own so far. Stephen . Thank you, yoshi. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Stephen speaks japanese can we get real for a second . Im offering you my show to pump the message. Obviously we want to, you know, just tweak it. I even made up a sign for you. Corporations are not people. Thats a sign, right . You believe in that . I believe that. Stephen okay, lets just tweak it. Corporations are. Are now people. Its not a tweak, though. Thats a big important change. Stephen but the Supreme Court has ruled the corporations are people. Therefore they are. And you saying theyre not is dehumanizing. See how youre the monoer . Theyre just not people. Stephen it just seems pretty racist of you to say, oh, certain people dont get to be people. A corporation owns what youre park that youre on right now. Well, the thing that owns the park. Stephen you understand how ugly that signs . Hey, boy, wheres my shrimp . I think were moving away from the agenda item. Stephen the agenda item is shes a racist. Why not level the Playing Field by getting some money of your own youve got to fight fire with fire. Thats jesus. Thats not something jesus said. Stephen jesus said fight fire with fire. He also said money talks, bull bleep walks. cheers and applause weve had lots of large donations and probably will continue to have large donations but that does not give the person who donates it any sort of sway or influence. Stephen right. Because what im saying is i understand you have values. And im willing to work around those. You cant work around the values. Stephen well, does that even change the message . Lets keep the message. Corporations are people, corporations arent people. Who gives a flying fig leaf. I do. Stephen i know you do and i believe in that. And so does my money. We dont want your money. Fine, im going to talk about a few movements that also didnt want any corporate backing. Tell me if youve ever heard of them. You ever heard of the lefty lucys . Or the million man mambo . You ever heard about them no. Stephen because they didnt have any money backing them. Millions could have marched on washington two years ago, mambo down the mall, youve never heard about it. It didnt happen. Stephen as far as you know it didnt. Were talking about changing the world. Lets change the world. Lets it this ground. Lets do this thing. Lets dance on the edge of a knife. The problem. Stephen lets live dangerously. Lets get into it. Lets strap on and get on top. Top of our game. Get the message out there. Lets be empowered. Lets let the little man recovery im a big man whos going to help you do that. Were not trying to recreate the problems that already exist. One of the problems is the underinfluence of money in politics so for us to accept large donations from you or anybody would be creating that problem. Stephen i was man enough to know when id been beaten. The revolution would not be televised. Ketchup, justin, i know you guys have to get back to the revolution. Thank you so much for talking to me. Thank you. Thanks, stephen. Thank you. Stephen no, serious. Thats your money. No, no. laughter and applause stephen so will they take me up on my snaufr since that interview, the Associated Press reports the group has raised over 450,000. So who gave them that money .

Whats next . Thrash metal . Folk sunk in trip house . Chill wave . Shredding. Stephen shreding . How would one shred on a cello . I dont know. This is thats an exploration. I think were all joined together to try to go to do two things, we want to do something very well but we also want to take a certain amount of risk to go to the edge where you see a better view. And shredding might be the next thing. I dont know. It depends on what my friends want to do and what they show me because i keep learning when my friends teach me new things.
