Good to have you with us in here, out there, all around the world. Nation, theres a lot to talk about. But of course, of course folks i have to start tonight with a Shocking International incident that has drawn the attention of every nation. Lets go straight to tonights edition of world news wrapup. The story is still unfolding but preliminary results indicate that Prince George is walking. Its magical to see his royal cuteness take his historic firsted to el. And what a relief to know that members of the royal blood line still have the bone density to stand upright. Folks this is great. This is great. I dont have a copy of it here. No, this is great. And were all smiling. Because everyone is happy. And i believe that concludes world news wrapup. laughter cheers and applause and there are not any other Big International stories, right, jim. The surfacetoair missile brought down a Malaysian Airlines jetliner over the war zone in Eastern Ukraine. Some calling it an ago of terror already, and others an act of war. Stephen right, yeah, okay. But that was thursday. That was kind of hoping that an atrocity that could spiral into world war iii would have worked itself out over the weekend. Evidently not. Nation this is an unspeakable tragedy. And i hope tonight to cover it with the same tasteful restraint shown by fox newss animated smoking wreckage graphic. It took themselve control not to use the fox nfl sunday robotment i can only assume that means hes on assignment covering gaza. Now folks, its clear the plane was taken down by a russian sa11 missile and there are many theories about where these russianmade missiles came from. One theory is they came from russia. laughter heres what happened. Okay. You got these prorussian separatists in Eastern Ukraine lead by former russian Intelligence Officer and star of bridge on the river crazy igor german markin, he also goes by the nom dedush Igor Strelkov which understandable when your name is sgirkin everyone is always saying hey, awe jerkin girkin, but Igor Strelkov wa, you can did that. Igo strokeoff. Yes, i would do that. And strokeoff here applause applause and strokeoff is old secret police pals of Vladimir Putin who gave him a bunch of surfacetoair missiles despite the fact strokey commands a group of rebels who have been described as a motley band of fighters who are a drunkin Patchwork Group that is beyond the moral boundaries. In other words, Vladimir Putin essentially armed the jugalos. And if this story were not tragic enough, among the victims were six people headed to the international aids conference. Hiv researcher Norbert Brockmeyer said the normally cheerful mood at the aids conferences will now be absent. laughter thats right, these bastards have managed to make aids depressing. laughter jimmy, im sorry, this is too much. You can give me a shot. Of george. Oh, look at him. He has little skinny royal overalls. Look at that adorable little bottom. And the baby is cute too. laughter applause okay, back to the this is an obscene and violent situation involving warring groups in lawless foreign territories and one tyrant bears the blame. Barack obama. laughter senator, theres a lot to unpack there. Specifically regard to russia. This crisis over the downing of the Malaysia Airlines flight. What did secretary kerry not say . What is the administration not yet prepared to do that you think must be done . Well, and he didnt call putin the thug that he is. Stephen here here. This horrible tragedy could have been avoided if president obama just called putin a thug. So once again, ladies and gentlemen, it falls to me to prevent further international crises. Vladimir putin, you are a jerk, sir. cheers and applause you you im sorry, i got to say it. You you are a stupid poopy face. Jimmy, whss the reaction in the ukraine. And yes, the russians are pulling out of donetsk. Youre welcome, world. I had to. cheers and applause stephen i had to. Folks, that wasnt easy for me to do. I have long been one of Vladimir Putins biggest fans. In 2008 i supported him for president of the United States. I defended him against pussy riot plus all those famous shirtless hunting photos, guess who took those. laughter i guess ill be taking shirtless hunting selfies from now on. Folks, speaking of war, for the last six weeks we in the colbert nation have been at war with Online Shopping giant amazon. Oh were going to wipe the smirk right off that boxes face. It all started when amazon began playing hardball with my publisher hachette for refusing to stock their books including my three bestsellers. I just hope its all resolved by july 28th. Because any one of my books is the perfect way to say, i was thinking about you on world hepatitis day. laughter and amazons unilateral embargo is especially harmful to first time novelists. Also harmful to them, deciding to be a novellist. So to fight back i told you to preorder the hachette book california by edan lap uki even though that might encourage our goal support california on the New York Times bestseller list and thanks to you this sunday california debuts at number three. We did it, jimmy, pop the plastic packing thingies. Dheers plaus cheers and applause stephen thank you. Thank you, stephen, stephen, Stephen Stephen thank you. By the way, by the way, all of this, all of this came in an amazon box to protect the watch battery that i ordered. Needless to say, needless to say edan la pukei has become a publishing sensation sign ,000 copies of california in three days, i assume her followup is about a young woman battling to overcome a crippling case of carpal tonel syndrome and her agent is also negotiating the film rights. I hope it comes out soon so i dont have to read the book. laughter obviously no one was more pumped than lapuki herself who said getting the colbert bump has left her with a mixture of elation and nausea. Yeah i got to say, a lot of ladies say that. By the way, amazon is a sponsor of tonights show. So i accept your apology, gentlemen. Here now is the woman who made it all possible for me to make it all possible for her, please welcome california author edan lapuki. Thank you so much. cheers and applause all right. All right. Congratulations. Congratulations. Congratulations on the success of california. Thank you. Stephen now for the rest of your life people legally have to refer to you as New York Times best selling author. Oh, of course. Stephen that cant be taken away. Thats like senator or ambassador. All right, so walk me through the colbert bump. I mean it was bonkers. It was a beautiful moment. Scherr mann alexi called me. Stephen that was the guy who gave me your book as a recommendation. He called me and said im going to talk about your book on the colbert report. And i pretty much fainted out in the backyard. And you know, scherrman alexi is a big time author. And ive been reading him for many years. Stephen youre a big time author too, now. Now i am. cheers and applause stephen now the book sales youre number three right now on the bestseller list. Its the third goodes book in america right now. Its about a post apocalyptic dystopia in california. So essentially california. laughter has it got a happy ending. Dont tell me the ending, but is it a happy ending. You have to read to find out. laughter it leaves it open its pretty happy. Stephen okay, yeah. Okay, is there another hachette author that you would like to bump here tonight to tell the good people out there, maybe they can take a look at.

He looks like hes going burst into tears, isnt that a hard job . Thats an incredibly hard job to hold, isnt it . Well, when we did, we were able to pass the Affordable Care act.

Stephen you know im a corporation. cheers and applause stephen thats attacking me. Im a corporation and this entire show is written in malaysia and were going to build road, bridges, broadband, Water Systems by closing tax loopholes for special interests in the tax code. Stephen lets talk about a couple of other issues real quickly. Immigration, why do you think obama is encouraging all these children to come to the United States . laughter what is his plan . What is his drift here . You guys are going to register these 8yearolds from guatemala to vote, right . I know youre a very devout catholic. And i wish you would read the catholic conference bishops report. They talk about the baby jesus being a ref guey from violence as an example. And they tell it. Stephen he didnt ask to be a citizen in egypt. He didnt ask to be able to vote for the far owe. He went back to the holy land eventually. They didnt vote for the far owe in those days. Stephen okay. But the fact is. Stephen i didnt know that. That was not a democratic system. No this is a humanitarian crisis. And it needs a humanitarian response, and it also needs a response that says if you have a legitimate claim for Refugee Status or asylum, thats one thing. If not youre going back home. But lets do that expeditiously and lets do it with respect for the dignity of each of these people. So. Stephen you lost middle class jumpstart,. Middle class jumpstart. Stephen last week when will it be lost launched. Let mow say this while we were announcing on steps of the capitol waving the American Flag about the middle class and all that, the republicans were inside with a hearing to sue the president of the United States for enforcing the law. Stephen why shouldnt you do that . They wanted the president to roll out the Affordable Care act, you know, swiftly, as they always have wanted. laughter no what they wanted was 50 times they voted to repeal the Affordable Care act. But theyre talking process. Were talking progress, were talking jobs, theyre talking lawsuits. Stephen if the president is being a tyrant what choice do they have but to take him to court. Obama can always countersue. Everyone in washington can get mobdz up with lawyers and well let judge judy decide the entire thing. laughter well, thank you so much for joining me.
