Jessie mueller and a musical performance by animal collective featuring jon batiste and stay human cheers and applause and now its time for the late show with Stephen Colbert cheers and applause captioning sponsored by cbs stephen hey hey, everybody cheers and applause how are ya . drum snap stephen hey, everybody thanks, everybody welcome to the show thanks so much for being here, everybody thank you very much cheers and applause welcome to the late show. Im Stephen Colbert. Tonight, im wearing your mothers favorite suit. cheers and applause looks even better on the floor. Dont ask. Dont ask. You know what . Lets get straight to it. As usual, theres one big orange story tonight, donald trump. laughter hes the presumptive g. O. P. Nominee, but there are a few people he still has to win over. For instance, everyone in the g. O. P. laughter but today the healing began. Trump went down to washington to meet with speaker of the house paul ryan in a highlevel summit, after which ryan seemed very encouraged. I think we had a very encouraging meeting. I was very encouraged with what i heard. I was very encouraged. Again, im very encouraged. This is a first, very encouraging meeting. Again, im very encouraged. Im, im, im very encouraged. Stephen sounds very encouraged. laughter applause cheering only one word for it, encouraged. Encouraged, encouraged. You know, you say a word over and over again, it doesnt mean anything anymore. Hand me the dictionary now. Encouraged. Encouraged. Encouraged. Encouraged. Encouraged. Encouraged. Encouraged. Encouraged. Here we go. Meaningless word meaning sheer panic. Okay. Sounds about right. cheers and applause the same motion with what trump is going to do with ryan here you go heres the thing ryan had to meet with trump to make it look like the Republican Party is not in chaos, that someone is in control, but nothing happened. Okay . That was the whole point is for them to get together, us not to see it and nothing happened. It was pure theater they shouldnt have done it on capitol hill. They should have had the meeting on broadway, you know, with musical numbers hey, cool boy laughter trump is gonna rock it tonight cheers and applause watch out, paul ryan laughter cheers and applause easy, Mitch Mcconnell laughter ryan did not endorse trump or poke him with a stick or anything fun. laughter instead, they just released a joint statement saying, they were totally committed to working together. And when donald trump commits to something, he totally means it. Ask any of his wives cheers and applause so bottom line, the last 24 hours of all political news was complete b. S. Of course, the creme de la crap was from msnbc. Had a countdown clock to the meeting this morning where no cameras were allowed and after which we learned nothing. Jim, can we put up my countdown clock of how much longer we all have to pretend this was news . cheers and applause that was a long three seconds. Really. Of course, when it comes to donald trump, there are so many other things that are not happening. For instance, he hasnt picked a running mate, but rumors say hes considering Newt Gingrich audience reacts theyre all chanting newt yes. Between them, theyve had six wives. Apparently, trump is trying to win the womans vote by marrying them all. If they get elected both the first and second lady will be the third lady. applause but theres a scandal looming for trump. See, since the start of the campaign, trump has been promising to release his tax returns, but he Just Announced that he may not do that until after the election. So far, the only glimpse of his taxes hes given us is this picture he tweeted out of a huge stack of documents. Its a huge stack. But to be fair, that stack looks a lot larger next to his tiny, tiny hands. applause people like mitt romney say hes hiding something. Weve gotten our hands on the documents by a procedure called making them up. Bring out Donald Trumps taxes, everyone cheers and applause thank you very much. Okay, lets see what we got here. You know theyre real because only a real tax return can do this laughter okay, lets see what weve got here. Signs his name trump, comma, donald j. Under race, he just circled the ones he wants to deport. Okay. Lets see. Social security number, a good one. Trust me. laughter under exemptions hes listed responsibility for things ive said and done, are laughter for income he just wrote yuuge. laughter and under adjusted gross, he wrote rosie odonnell. Thats not nice. audience reacts lets see, again, his tax return, not mine. laughter and lets see, under birth date he wrote slumbering in the earths core for centuries, waiting for humanity to wake my wrath. Sounds about right. cheers and applause now say hello to my dependents, jon batiste and stay human, everybody cheers and applause jon hey cheers and applause humming theme song folks, if you watch this show and i hope you are, its no secret that im fascinated by gwynyth paltrow. Not as fascinated as she is, but still. Pretty fascinated. I especially love her lifestyle website goop, your number one source for 5,000 juicers. And this week was huge for goop heads like me because goop just came out with its first annual sex issue, featuring curated erotic merchandise for your best life, including sex toys. laughter finally a place to find sex toys on the internet laughter the issue was loaded with sensual merchandise guaranteed to shock your prudish aunt. Especially if shes also your accountant. For instance, goop recommended this sex whip that sells for 535. Because, if youre willing to pay 535 for a whip, youre clearly into punishing yourself. laughter applause thats a fine joke, but it does imply i know what the market rate for a whip is. laughter i dont know. They also sell this 15,000 gold plated lets say, exclusive massager. laughter yes, i want to assure everyone that it is blurred. You are not going blind from using your exclusive massager. applause i wish i dont know how i dont know how to convey to you how much time and how much effort went into figuring out whether we could show this to you not blurred, or if we did blur it, how much we had to blur it, and i also what i could call it before we showed it to you. For instance, i could say parts to have the word that it is. For instance, i could say the word dill pickle. laughter and i could say doe, a deer, a female deer. laughter but if i, uh, if i tried to add that pickle to the deer cant do that. Lets just say it rhymes with the word bilbo. cheers and applause and its the word bleep . cheers and applause going to be totally bleep ed, right . Totally bleeped. You will never know what i said. I have to say, a gold sex toy is a great gift. Its the perfect way to let your lover know i am a russian oligarch. Although if 15,000 is a little steep, for around 8,000, they also offer a silver exclusive massager. Again, its blurred. Silver, of course, for when you finish second. laughter that looks like nothing that looks like nothing that is like a topographickicle map of new zealand laughter what is that . That doesnt even look silver. Anyway, it is in there. Now keep in mind that silver tarnishes, so youre going to need to polish it. A lot. laughter and remember if youre at a formal orgy, the silver massager goes on the left side of the plate. But warning do not use if youre a werewolf. laughter the latest goop issue also takes you inside l. A. s erotic theater snctm. Yes, snctm. You dont want to know where they put the vowels. Snctm is an eyes wide shutlike monthly masquerade in an l. A. Area mansion that warns, while women can buy a ticket, men cannot attend unless theyre members, part of a couple, or reserve dinner. Thats right. You may only enter if youve made reservations, which means this sex club is as exclusive as a ponderosa. But goop isnt the only lifestyle brand feeling sexy this summer. Im proud to announce that my lifestyle brand covetton house is celebrating our sexual awakening with covetton after dark. Covetten house. After dark of course, luxury personal massagers are all the rage. Covetton takes it one step further with our goldplated personal masseur. laughter didnt have to blur it for some reason. Its like having sex with c3po. laughter and why not combine dinner and dessert into one sexual experience with the meatball gag, featuring Grassfed Beef and organic marinara. One bite and youll be saying. Something, i wont understand it. Again, didnt have to blur it for some reason. For the ecofriendly sexthusiasts, covetton is proud to offer an artisanal reclaimed wooden sex toy made from the side of a barn. Youll scream from either pleasure or splinters. Either way, youre getting wood. So get covettons 2016 sex line or suffer the embarrassment of having lastyears orgasms.

My mom loves it so much, obviously, shes constantly reading it, but she also, to back that up, has the films on in the background so she can be close to the language of it. Stephen yeah. And i said, mom, is there a question i could ask stephen that might stump him, which i know has never happened and im not predicting that it will, but i thought if you wouldnt mind, i would like to ask. Stephen sure, that would be great. Russell, if you will indulge us. Again, this is true. I heard this is coming. Im a little nervous. She wrote b good on the show, and its a b. Stephen very nice.

Do you guys russell, do you guys still do your own stunts . I do less now than i used to. A lot of the elder actors that i work with would say, so youre going to do all the stuff yourself . Of course, you know. And they were kind of a little bit negative about it. And i thought, bleep that guy, im going to do my stuff. And as you get older and start losing tendons and stephen just losing them completely . Ive got no cartilage in my toes because of so much lateral movements and stops. Achilles tendents, shin splints, bone marrow disease and bad hips and every single injury bar one on my foot is from a movie. And you look back and think, that was wisdom they were trying to pass on to me. Stephen does ryan pass wisdom on to you . He does great physical things in this film and it wouldnt be the same if the director was cutting around a stunt man so its fantastic hes done so much in the movie applause my stunt guy brett was fully impaled by a bayonet and in true Australian Fashion came to work anyway, so it was hard to ask him to do anything after at. Stephen actually fully impaled . Yes. Im sensitive about my across the street run. I hold my hands out a little too forward. I know im supposed to, but i end up laughter but i didnt feel comfortable asking him to do that. Stephen i cant imagine anybody but the two of you doing this movie together because it is funny, but it is action and it is two tough guys, as i said before. Can you how did it become the two of you doing this together . Well, i was shocked when i heard my agent told me russell would not do the film without me. laughter i thought. Really . So that was incredible. whistling stephen did you have the same feeling . What . Stephen is that what happened . You said you wouldnt do the film without him . You did say that, right . Well, that was more a general thing about people called ryan. Because kind of there is a lot of ryans. They dont know youre joking, okay . Stephen . Really just tell them you couldnt have done it without me, lets tall a spade a call a spade a spade. It wouldnt have been the same experience. It wouldnt. So i guess im just unnecessary, then. I guess you could do this interview without me, then, couldnt you . The interview . Yeah. I probably could. audience reacts bye what . Bye. Bye. audience reacts bye. Stephen ryan.
