Plus, stephen welcomes ice cube and tig notaro featuring jon batiste and stay human. And now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, its Stephen Colbert cheers and applause stephen thank you very much. Youre very kind. Please, sit down. Thank you very much. Welcome. Doda. Doda. Welcome, one and all, to the late show. Im your host, Stephen Colbert. Its a good feeling. Its a good feeling. Last night, President Trump was in orlando, florida, to officially relaunch the campaign he has never stopped. laughter and for those of you for those of you who are hoping that now that hes president , his tone would cnge, last night was a swift kick in the old hopeychangey. Right in the old change purse. Jim, lets go to the highlights. Our radical democrat opponents are driven by hatred, prejudice, and rage. Democrats want to splinter us into factions and tribes. They want us divided. Stephen yes, democrats want to divide americans into tribes that cant stand each other, says the man speaking to an angry mob all wearing the same hat. as trump we will not become an angry tribe. Now, everybody chant maga, maga, kag, kag, maga, maga, kag, kag, fake news trump trump was cheers and applause not going to rusk you. We have no timetable for our love. Trump was clear about why he was so angry at the democrats. We went through the greatest witch hunt in political history. They went after my family, my business, my finances, my employees, almost everyone that ive ever known or worked with. But they are really going after you. Thats what its all about. Its not about us. Its about you. Stephen as trump theyre really investigating you. And and, frankly, folks, im worried about you, because theres some bad stuff you did that they havent even found out about yet. And its not its you. Its not me its you. And if anybody asks, you did it, not me. Got that . cheers and applause and its not just you, theyre also coming after you, junior, okay. Then trump contrasted the dark present with an even darker future. Imagine if we had a democrat president and a Democrat Congress in 2020. boos they would shut down your free speech, use the power of the law to punish their opponents, which they are trying to do now anyway. Stephen okay, i dont necessarily agree that thats what the democrats would do if they got into power. But at least he clearly understands that using the power of your office to prosecute your political enemies is wrong. Crooked hillary clinton. Lock her up lock her up we now have a great attorney general. Lets see what happens. cheers and applause stephen you know, for all his bad environmental policies, trump is very committed to recycling his garbage. laughter cheers and applause then then then trump brought up his own emails. Can y . Think of this if i got a subpoena for emails, if i deleted one email, like a love note to melania. Stephen oh, a lot of his emails are love notes to melania. In fact, we have one right here from a few years ago as trump dear melanie, roses are red, violets are blue. Congrats on our baby. Im cheating on you. cheers and applause trump did make one new campaign promise, and its a biggie. We will come up with the cures to many, many problems,in. Stephen wait a second, curing cancer is already bidens thing. You cant just steal democratic platforms. as trump if reelected, i will cure cancer. And i know im just a smalltown mayor from indiana, but the top 1 control 90 of the wealth. I shoveled snow in newark. I am elisabeth warren. Good night, everybody i am i am applause then trump invited the crowd to another big event in a couple weeks. By the way, on july fourth, in washington, d. C. , come on down. Were going to have a big day. Bring your flags. Bring those flags. Stephen no dont bring your flags we know what he does to flags. as trump yeah, bring old glory with you. Bring old glory. And while youre at it, maybe a couple of younger glories, too, okay. Maybe your flag has a younger sister. Then trump got down to business and tested out some slogan ideas. We have to come up with a theme for the new campaign, right. Is it going to be make America Great again, which is probably and possibly the greatest theme in the history of politics, i think. Stephen the greatest . I dont know about that. What about reagans its morning again in america; or obamas yes, we can; or William Howard tafts america its whats for dinner laughter then hes known for his appetite. Then cheers and applause oh, hi, jon. Nice to see you. Jon hello n. Stephen then trump float a new option to his audience. Now im saying, what do we use as our theme, as our statement . So, im going to ask you to vote on it. Ready . Make America Great again. some cheers not bad, not bad if i would have said that, three years ago, wouldnt be a contest, right . You ready . Keep America Great. cheers stephen getting an audience to vote for you is so cheap. The second thing always gets more applause. Watch this. Hey, everyone clap if you like vanilla. applause okay, not bad. Not bad. Now, clap if you like Ulcerative Colitis crowd goes wild okay. Sorry, ben jerrys, i have a new flavor for you. Then trump brought it home. And together, we will make america wealthy again. We will make america strong again. We will make america safe again. And we will make America Great again. Stephen no, they just chose keep America Great. Just seconds before they chose keep America Great. For once applause for once for petes sake, for once in your life, care about the popular vote laughter now, now cheers and applause in the runup to this thing, trump and his folks kept saying that this thing was oversold. Something like 100,000 tickets or 120,000 Something Like that for only 25,000 seats in the arena. Thats why they said they had to have that 45 fest out in the parking lot for the overflow crowd of 75,000 people who couldnt get in. That is impressive. That is also a lie. And i know thats a lie, because we sent a camera crew down there, with Jim Anchorton and Jill Newslady from real news tonight, and this is footage they brought back from outside during the speech of that supposed overflow crowd. And, its no one. Just garbage and abandoned lawn furniture. And that was right before the rally started. You can see the rally on the screen in the background right there. There it is, for the crowd that is supposed to be watching the screen that is not there. But maybe they went home without any of their chairs because they couldnt get into that soldout arena. Again, no. Because our team got their press credentials denied at the last minute and this is true so they just went online and got tickets and walked in. cheers and applause they just walked in to take any one of the many, many empty seats in the arena. Wow, i knew trumps voters were old. I didnt know they were ghosts. Dont get me wrong. He had maybe 20,000 people there. Thats a nice crowd but it wasnt sold out. Still, its the perfect relaunch of trumps campaign, because it fulfills his Core Campaign promise as trump i will lie to you about anything. Join us tomorrow for more from Jill Newslady and Jim Anchortons dramatic report from the mouth of madness, because the rally got ugly. Actually, it started ugly. Even the prayer was ugly. It was delivered by Trump Spiritual adviser and anaconda about to swallow a microphone, paula white. Right now, let every demonic network that has aligned itself against the purpose, against the calling of President Trump, let it be broken, let it be torn down, in the name of jesus. Stephen to which jesus responded, okay, but every network . I really like Anderson Cooper laughter applause i got to imagine he loves him. Jon ill bet he loves us all he loves us all stephen i got to say, calling on god to destroy the media is pretty bold. And that is why stephen, stop Stephen Donald trumps spiritual advisor, paula white . What are you doing here . I have come to cleanse this demonic network in the name of the father, the junior, and the ivanka stephen okay, but, listen, maam, just because people dont agree with the president doesnt mean they are possessed by demons. Is exactly what a demon would say. This network is riddled with sin. Seal team is buried on wednesdays it deserves thursdays at 9 00. You cancelled 2 broke girls after only six seasons. And why is star trek picard relegated to cbs all access . God wants Patrick Stewart on prime time Stephen Paula white, everybody i love being on tv stephen weve got a great show for you tonight.

Stephen jorng my dear, dear friend ice cube is going to be out here in just a moment. Jon oh, yes. cheers and applause ice cube in the house. Stephen one is it one week from tonight . One week from tonight is our first live show following the first democratic debate. Well be live wednesday and thursday of next week right here from the ed sullivan theater to give you all the latest on what iswhatever it is theyre going to yell at each other. laughter and also tomorrow, we will have more coverage of the trump rally from Jill Newslady and Jim Anchorton down in florida at orlando, with a producer and a team. Jon oh, wow stephen as i said, they they just walked in like they owned the place. Jon yup. Stephen which they do, because theyre american citizens. And they had some lovely conversations. For months, trump has been working to block House Democrats from getting testimony from any of his aids, but today, they hafompadand hoksr deomice, now this is very personal for trump. He worked closely with hicks, and affectionately called her hopey. as trump i hopey she doesnt tell the truthy. laughter to make sure she doesnt, white house lawyers have argued that when it comes to answering questions about her time in the white house, hicks has absolute immunity from testifying. So if youre keeping track at home, trump aides are more immune to justice than america is to measles. So far, the immunitys working, because she managed to avoid being infected with accountability. Hope declined to answer questions about her work on the trump president ial transition or in the white house, refusing to even identify the location of her west wing office. That must have been a weird moment. as congressperson ms. Hicks, here is a map of the west wing. Can you at least point to where you worked . Was it closer to stephen millers terrarium or Kellyanne Conways haunted c laughter anything . Blink blink blink, damn you trumps got to be relieved that hicks had his back today, because reports are, even though they worked closely together, theyve drifted apart since she left the white house, and that recently, there were several times when she didnt return trumps call, leading the president to ask his inner circle, what happened to hope . laughter sir, weve been asking that question for three years.
