Im your host stephen colbert. With just six days left before the election, this race this race is now spinning teres are. Tighten up. A little nervous. Theyre clenching a little tight right now. You could throw a kingston brick head up there and pop out Something Like for an Engagement Ring . laughter notice, a lot of democrats are blaming f. B. I. Director james comeys bombshell announcement last week that huma abedin also uses email. We didnt know. Nobody knew. Now, it looks like the f. B. I. Is trying to hurt hillarys campaign, which has a lot of people upset. Mostly russia. Thats their gig. And now, the f. B. I. Just released documents from their 2001 probe into bill clintons pardon of shady billionaire marc rich. Yeah, all o of the documents. Once again, bill clintons in trouble after getting the full as cheers and applause this. cheers and applause this is a clear breach of protocol. If the f. B. I. Is going to release documents from 2001, you do it on throwback thursday. All right . laughter read your manual. Read your manual. Now, the f. B. I. Says that the timing of this release wasnt intentional. Asked for comment, f. B. I. Director comey pointed to this race this race is now so close that the candidates are fighting for every single vote they can get, even the ones that have already been cast. This is a message for any democratic voter who have already cast their ballots for Hillary Clinton and who are having a bad case of buyers remorse. Wisconsin is one of several states where you can change your early ballot if you think youve made a mistake, so if you live here, or in michigan, or pennsylvania, or minnesota those four places you can change your vote to donald trump. Well make America Great again, okay . Stephen hey, hey a kid, but no fair changeys. No backsies. You vote, youre stuck with it. Its like a tattoo. And, yes, i regret my al gore tramp stamp. And to reach these voters, trump has come up with a new way to encourage people to donate to his campaign. I want to show you something very special. I am dedicating this wall right here in trump tower to a select group of donors and supporters add your name to this wall. Contribute today, like the great americans here, and youll get your name officially on the trump donor board. Stephen thats right. Donald trump is building a wall and making his donors pay for it. laughter cheers and applause the best part is it only costs Donald Trumps donor wall. Or for just 6, you can buy a can of spray paint and be immortalized on trump tower. cheers and applause now, ive met a lot of Trump Supporters and i mean, when you meet them, they seem like fine folks who occasionally call for the jailing of their political opponents. But sometimes one bad apple makes all the apples seem racist. I may have seen its not their fault. One guys did does it and it makes it seem like everybody with the guy at the rally and they were. You may have seen this clip im about to show of one rallygoer chanting at a group of journalists last week. A word of warning if your children are in the room, you might want to regret having brought them into this world laughter stephen it is absolutely horrifying to hear that kind of antisemitic language. Usually you read it in yahoo comments. But a newspaper tracked the guy down. His names george lindell, and it turns out we had it all wrong. He wasnt chanting jew s a. To target show solidarity with mexicans at the rally. You know, all the mexicans who go to trump rallies. Heres the deal. Lindell said that a group of mexicans at the rally again, that huge group of mexicans that goes to trump rallies had stopped chanting u. S. A because, it came out sounding like joo s. A. , and they felt the wouldnt fit in because of their accent. See . It was innocent. It was so innocent. He was just its poor man was feel welcome so they would have fond memories of america after trump loaded them on to the cat catapults. Im going to call this the worst excuse of all time. Its the worst possible i think its even worse than the close second. This is the secondworst exciews of all time we werent burning that cross on the lawn to scare you. We just wanted you to see our cool ghost costumes. cheers and applause and its reasonable applause when asked about what he said at the end of his chant, lindell said he muttered, the jews run the country anyway. A statement he said was just horsing around. He was just horsing around. Blame . The jewish horses. So this election has now officially ruined everything horses, taco bowls, billy bushs career. And now, brace yourselves, its ruined yogurt because chobani yogurt founder Hamdi Ulukaya is getting threats for helping immigrants. Is supposed to help Jamie Lee Curtis poop, and thats it. Good luck, jamie. See, it turns out thats what the commercial says. See i believe it. See, it turns out that the owner ulukaya employs Syrian Refugees in his factories and started a foundation to help migrants. And now there are calls to has been taunted with racist epithets on twitter and facebook. Its no surprise that online trolls are in a race to the bottom. Thats where all the fruit is. Thats where all the fruit is. But you know what . We here at the late show like to be helpful. Which is why were introducing a new yogurt for people who want to boycott chobani. Introducing xenogurt if you love yogurt but hate the people who make it. Instead of active cultures, xenogurt has one monolithic culture that never changes. laughter applause enjoy. cheers and applause mmm. Mmm. Mmm. That is just a prop. laughter im not sure what i just put in my mouth. Thank you very much. laughter applause but it aint yogurt. cheers and applause thats fun. Nice surprise. But as ugly as the campaign has been, this has been a historic year for women. Any women here . cheers and applause there it is. We might have the first female president , women on the u. S. cheers and applause women on the u. S. Olympic team won more medals than the men, and perhaps most excitingly, bono has been named the first ma year list. You did it, ladies congratulations. Women have come so far, now youre men. I assume for bono to be on this list, every other woman has already gotten one of these. According to glamours editor in chief, they included a man because there are so many men who really are doing wonderful things for women these days. Some men get it, and bono is one of those guys. Its like that old saying in front of every great woman stands a guy who really gets it. laughter applause mean to be fair, bono wasnt the only woman of the year. Glamour also honored such actual women as the founders of black lives matter, gymnastics phenom simone biles, and head of the i. M. F. Christine legarde. Their prize getting to meet bono. laughter applause weve got a great show for you tonight. Michael strahan is here. So the band is going to play and im going to sit over there.

But we have Dale Earnhardt jr. , curt busch. Theyre talking about nascar, and joey said this is the ultimate ming of man and machine, and as hes saying this you are look at a guy who did so much for the country who is a man in a machine. And it intersects how these things he did as a kid influences his life and it goes beyond nascar to him and his family. Stephen thats the First Episode,ht we did the calgary stampede. We did soccer overseas. We went around the world and found some great topics, great subjects where the sport really did go beyond just sports, and it really went into a lot of things like a religious experience for a lot of people. Stephen we have a clip here of the First Episode which is called god and the machine. And it is about nascar and how people take it religiously. Sometimes, especially when money isnt very prevalent and the way you make money is hard earned. Its a 95 paycheck, you need something that brings your community together. You need something that brings joy to your community. And there are a lot of places where thats searched in religion and going to church on suspected.
