Only on the discovery channel. Then stay tuned for stupid and afraid. Announcer its the late show with Stephen Colbert. Tonight, stephen welcomes idris elba, maude apatow and musical guest Perry Farrell, 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 theme song playing stephen whoo howdy doody perfect perfect have a seat, everybody thank you very much what a lovely crowd, what a lovely, lovely crowd theyre live on this planet. We can only the late show. Im your host Stephen Colbert. cheers and applause im glad to hear it. I love the energy in the room. Im going to start the show tonight with some, and i hope im pronouncing this correctly, good news. Is that right . Its been a while. laughter as you know, my friend jon stewart has been working with police and firefighters, and other advocates cheers and applause for a couple of years now to try to get congress to permanently reauthorize health care for 9 11 First Responders. It was a nobrainer, and eventually, they got congress to wrap their nobrains around it. laughter today, trump held a ceremony in the rose garden to sign the bill. It was a good thing done by laughter terrible person, like when vlad the impaler would give each of his victims a starbucks gift card. laughter thoughtful,co itsnr thoughtful. And like he has in other recent speeches, trump had a hard time making the wordsounds. In a few moments, i will sign the barpartisan to fully reauthorize the nineelective eleven victims fund. Stephen as trump its like they always say about that terrible day narver fahglep. laughter narver fahglep. Jon thats what they say. Stephen trump told the First Responders he didnt only stand with them now, he also stood with them then. Many of those affected were firefighters, Police Officers and other First Responders. And i was down there also. But i am not considering myself a first responder. But i was down there. audience reacts stephen trump just cant help but insert himself into everything. as trump i just watched end game. great movie. The iron man and fat thor i was there, too. I dont consider myself an avenger. Because i was rooting for thanos. laughter thathe had some good ideas. cheers and applause piano riff to claim that, while youre not a first responder, you were down there with them after 9 11 has got to be the worst thing ive ever heard. If he hadnt already said this i was down there, and i watched our police and our firemen down on 711, down at the World Trade Center right after it came down. Everyone who helped clear the rubble and i was there, and i watched, and i helped a little bit. Stephen as trump yes, i helped out a little bit on 711. laughter of course that was july, so things were fine. laughter so glad i wasnt there on 911, i hear it was not good. laughter narver fagleb. laughter piano riff but i do think its remarkable that our president claimed to stand by the heroes of one of americas great cities. Because he spent the weekend trashing another one. And ill tell you all about it in our ongoing segment is donald trump a racist . Episode three million. laughter cheers and applause been going on for a long time. Stephen previously on is donald trump a racist . Yes. laughter but some people arent convinced. Not even after his twitter attack this weekend on chairman of the House Oversight committee and man watching his white coworkers explain get out to him, Elijah Cummings. laughter cummings recently criticized the conditions at the mexico border, so trump took offense, tweeting, rep, Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men and women of Border Patrol about conditions at the southern border, when actually his Baltimore District is far worse and more dangerous. His district is considered the worst in the usa dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot as proven last week during a congressional tour, the border is clean, efficient and well run, just very crowded. Cummings district is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous and filthy place. audience reacts booing trump is president of the united states. Fun fact you know where baltimore is located . The united states. singing as trump God Bless America except baltimore theyve got rats there no maga hats there ai void it because they are poor cheers and applause humming now, a lot of people called trumps words racist, so he fired back on twitter there is nothing racist in stating plainly what most people already know, that Elijah Cummings has done a terrible job for the people of his district, and of baltimore itself. Dems always play the race card when they are unable to win with facts. Shame oh, so the only reason to call somebody racist is because you cant win an argument with facts. Interesting. He continued, if racist Elijah Cummings would focus more of his energy on helping the good people of his district, and baltimore itself, perhaps progress could be made in fixing the mess that he has helped to create. as trump im not the racist, hes the racist. After all, i wouldnt have said anything racist at all if he was white laughter reverend al sharpton announced that he was going to do an event in baltimore today to protest trumps racist tweet, so trump fired out another one i have known al for 25 years. Went to fights with him and don king, always got along well. He loved trump he would ask me for favors often. Oh, thats nice. Theyre friends. Al is a con man, a troublemaker, always looking for a score. Just doing his thing. Must have intimidated comcast nbc. Hates whites and cops heres how out of touch the president is, he thinks hates whites and cops is more damning than, hung out with donald trump and don king. Trump sent out the usual suspects to defend him on the sunday shows. First up, trump acting chief of staff and harry potter explaining that voldemorts got some good ideas. laughter Mick Mulvaney. Mulvaney went on fox news sunday, where Chris Wallace brought up the pattern of trumps racism you say it has zero to do with race there is a clear pattern here, mick. The president tweeted about john lewis, a black congressman that he should this is before his inauguration he should spend time in his crimeinfested district. Then, two weeks ago, he goes after these four members of the squad, all women of color, and says they should go back to the crimeinfested countries from which they come. Then he talks about Elijah Cummings and he says his district is rat and rodentinfested. Infested. It sounds like vermin. It sounds subhuman. And these are all six members of congress who are people of color. I think youre spending way too much time reading between the line. Does anybody crosstalk wallace, im not reading between the lines. Im reading the lines. cheers and applause stephen nicely done nicely done cheers and applause bravo Bravo StephenChris Wallace just stepped up to Mick Mulvaney and said, hey, mick, read between these lines. cheers and applause mulvaney continued does anyone watching this program dispute the fact or the possibility that if adam schiff has said the same thing about the border, that the president would be attacking adam schiff the exact same way today . I dont think hed be talking about his crimeinfested, rodentinfested district. He very well could. It has zero to do with the fact that adam is jewish. Scwhree, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa stephen wow pro tip if youre trying to distance yourself from accusations of being a white supremacist, maybe dont use the excuse, Donald Trumps not racist hed say the same thing about jews laughter another trump defender was florida senator rick scott. He was on chuck the meet and his brain done broke. But that justifies a racial resentment tweet in response . Is that president ial leadership . Well, look, i, i, look, i didnt do the tweets, chuck. Stephen as scott uh, oh, ah, ehh, oh. Im just stammering piano riff im just going to keep making sounds till you cut to commercial. Uh oh, ah, ehh, oh laughter before that interview started, rick scott had a full head of hair. laughter and it wasnt just baltimore. Trump also tweeted, speaking of failing badly, has anyone seen what is happening to Nancy Pelosis district in San Francisco. It is not even recognizable lately. Something must be done before it is too late. as trump San Francisco used to be a beautiful city where joe dimaggio would drive a cable car right up to your house with hot ricearoni. laughter today, tony bennett left his heart there and it was stolen by a homeless guy. laught trump has also gone after new york, los angeles, and chicago, and called the people of iowa stupid. At this rate, hes going to take the flag and replace half the stars with poop emojis. laughter weve got a great show for you tonight. Idris elba is here.
