pills. i don't know exactly which ones, but we all need to be on something if we're going to make it to november without this man being held accountable for his lifelong criminal spree. ask your doctor about pills. he'll say "which pills are you talking about?" you say "i don't know. all of them? just give me pills." is it legal to make a commercial advertising all pills? probably not, but apparently you can break the law and get away with it. i took pills right before recording this commercial, and oh, i've never felt better. pills. easier to swallow than reality. night-night. >> announcer: it's "the late show with stephen colbert!" tonight... stall and order! plus, stephen welcomes from "dune: part two" rebecca ferguson and denis villeneuve featuring louis cato

and "the late show" band. and now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, it's stephen colbert! [cheers and applause] is a comusical >> stephen: beautiful. please have a seat. thank you very much. you're very kind. what's up? welcome very welcome one at all to "the late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. [cheering] we all know what day it is. it's leap day, a magical 24-hour period that, every four years, emerges from the mists, like brigadoon. and for that one magical day, you can do anything you want, 'cause no laws apply, evidently, according to the supreme court. 'cause this morning, when i excitedly ran down to open my leap presents under the time tree, i found out the supreme

court has decided to hear trump's immunity claim, further delaying his january 6th trial. in the landmark case of "people versus do laws matter?" seriously, what is going on? justice deferred is justice gutted like a fish and thrown in the river for chum! one more of these steaming turds and i swear to god on the ghost of john marshall, i will drive to washington and rub my ass on your gavels! [cheering] there you go. [applause] here's the deal. back on, what, december 11th? on december 11th, jack smith begged the supreme court to rule on this issue in a timely manner, because this case is critical to our democracy. the justices replied "we don't feel like it," sending the issue down to an appeals court. that court ruled against trump vigorously and unanimously. trump appealed, and for 16 days,

scotus didn't say jack, until yesterday. but even then, it was merely to schedule arguments for the week of april 22nd and say proceedings in the trial court would remain frozen. that makes it a total of 19 weeks of delays! these proceedings have been frozen for so long, they legally count as children in alabama! [laughter] this is not a tough call. [cheering] wow. wow. this is not a tough call. the appeals court ruled 3-0 against trump's claim that presidents have total immunity from prosecution, rejecting his lawyer's claim that the former president could not have been prosecuted even if he ordered "seal team 6 to assassinate a political rival," unless trump were also impeached and convicted by the senate. kind of weird that scotus feels the need to consider whether or not laws exist.

a quick reminder. be careful how you rule, because seal team 6 currently works for joe biden. and remember the old saying. the chinese proverb: and revenge is a dish best served "old." and it gets worse. because the oral arguments are in april, but court watchers don't expect a decision until june, and the trial judge has promised the defense 88 days after that to prepare, meaning the trial could now be delayed until late september or october, plunging the proceedings into the heart of the election. that is terrible news for democracy but fantastic news for television. all of the plotlines will come together at once for the thrilling conclusion of "america." you've got the trial of the century alongside the most important election of your lifetime, followed by the season 2 premier of "tracker." tracker: he'll find your keys.

[applause] turns out they were in yesterday's pants. now, i wonder if the justices, i really do sincerely wonder if the justices, specifically john roberts, realize just how damaging to the court's legacy their stalling over this urgent threat to our democracy is. and that legacy doesn't have far to fall. in one poll, just 18% of americans said they have a great deal of confidence in the court. that's less trust than americans place in chet's warm shrimp and mayonnaise emporium. you know their slogan. when you're here, you're [retching]. the supreme court gains all of its legitimacy and power from public approval. they don't have an army or a police force or apparently, an h.r. department.

they have to rely on moral authority. but they have abdicated that moral authority, which is why, tonight, using the power vested in me as a late night host, i am hereby declaring the supreme court unconstitutional. [cheering] i don't make this decision lightly. but i'm here to say their decisions are henceforth null and void, because they are poo poo heads, completely divorced from what the people they serve want and from reality. in dobbs, the court stripped women of their rights and to justify it, sam alito cited a 17th-century witch-hunter. evidently he believes medical decisions are between a woman, her doctor, and the mischievous

imp who inflamed her loins with his alluring pan flute. brrrr! [laughter] [whistling] there's also some news from trump's civil fraud trial. the clock is ticking on him coughing up the $454 million penalty, compounding every day. and he's been trying to delay. but yesterday, his request to halt paying the full amount was denied by a new york judge. [cheering] i got a little somethin'. sorry, don! you've gotta come up with half a bill, pronto. as we say in new york, ♪ start selling more shoes ♪ ♪ ♪ trump's lawyers tried to get the judge to accept a cheaper

deal by proposing to put up $100 million instead. you can't barter with a court ruling! "your honor, i know you sentenced my client to be hanged until dead, but what if we just choked him till he got aroused?" it's somethin'. trump's lawyers argued that he can't post the full bond because he doesn't have the money without selling a building. then sell a building, bitch. [cheering] do it. boo-hoo. wah-wah. sell trump tower, okay? new york can redevelop it. first floor: weed store. second floor: weed store. third floor: pet groomer that sells weed. now, no surprise, donald trump is already doing some shady

stuff to avoid paying the fine. new york's attorney general claims that he's been quietly moving his assets to florida. thankfully, we know where he hides everything in florida. just check the mar-alago bathroom! that's a big bathroom. that's a really big bathroom. yesterday, president biden had his annual physical exam and good news: he's alive. jon stewart, you owe me five bucks. pay up! the white house physician wrote a summary of the president's health and said joe biden is "fit for duty" and described him as "healthy, active, and robust." in stark contrast with the former president, who is un-healthy, in-active, and ro-busted. we also got a list of all the medications joe biden takes for allergies, blood pressure, and heartburn, and they're all pretty common. eliquis, crestor, dymista, allegra, pepcid, and nexium. thanks, joe! i believe that's every one of our sponsors.

cbs! now, the doctors... the doctors also gave biden "an extremely detailed neurologic exam", which they call "reassuring." they determined that he didn't need a cognitive exam. which is good, because they only give you one of those if they're worried. in fact, the doctor wrote: "patient exhibits excellent memory, including photographic recollection of the barrel candy available at the scranton five and dime in 1958. no detail skipped. physician missed lunch break." of course, that did not stop trump from complaining. he posted on his stupid website: "crooked joe biden must take a cognitive test. i took two of them and aced them both. no mistakes!"

that... that is not the flex you think it is. "people are constantly asking me to prove i don't have dementia. and i always ace it. i aced "day of the week," "how many fingers?" then they asked me "who's the president of the united states?" i said "this guy!" and they said gave him another cognitive test. whale!" [applause] fresh off his doctor visit, joe made a visit to the southern border. one issue: it's the same day scheduled a border trip. awkward! even worse, they were both wearing the same thing: gold bond medicated powder. trump's getting a little help in his 2024 campaign from his son don jr., who is calling for a massive voter turnout drive. he tweeted, "in 2024, we need an all-of-the-above voter strategy. that means voter registration

at gun shows, concerts, ufc fights, and even in amish country." one of those things is not like the others. "we gotta get everyone! gun nuts with a thousand aks, kickboxing psychos, and the peaceful guys with the chin beards who hate zippers." you got a problem, bro? you wanna go? i'll go right now. when it comes to admiring the amish, don jr. is no jedidiah-come-lately. earlier this year, an amish farm was raided for selling raw milk that resulted in food-borne illnesses, and junior was pissed, tweeting that police should not be going after farmers selling to their neighbors, adding: "can i be the only person sick of this [bleep]?" i get what you're doing, but i'm not sure the best way to reach the amish is the internet. unless you go on their top social media sites, milk-tok and facebarn.

♪ ♪ so nice to see you again. >> thanks for the invitation. >> stephen: thank you. i had the opportunity on sunday night to go to the u.s. premiere of "dune: part two" introduce you and you came out. >> denis: thanks again. that was very nice of you. >> stephen: i'm a very nice guy but it was really a pleasure not only to introduce you purchase it for the second time because i had already seen it in anticipation of having you and many of the cast members on the show but i saw it in a screening room. and i sounded in the beautiful screen but it was just me and a couple people but to see a movie or the way it's meant to be seen it really elevates the experience extraordinarily even finding out oh, my god, it's really funny at times, this movie especially javier bardem. >> denis: brings a beautiful

aspect of his character that makes the ark even more tragic i would say. >> stephen: amazing cast. anya taylor-joy, zendaya, timothee chalamet, austin butler rebecca ferguson josh brolin, and le seydoux. they were all there plus 1500 people in the room. do you enjoy being there when an audience sees the film? >> denis: the final part of the film process to me. i share a movie with the audience. at the premiere. after that i will stop watching the movie of the next ten years. >> stephen: you don't, you don't see it again after that? >> denis: no. but i love, my kids were in the theater as well so i wanted to experience a movie with them. it's just like a moment that i love when i feel the emotion of the audience and after that i can't watch it again. >> stephen: this is the second

time that you have brought us to a rakas to frank herbert's "dune" which some people have in their own mind and i'm sure you have for many, many years before you ever created this for more product to us. because you had already brought us there one time before, did you have sort of freedom and latitude that you didn't have the first time that you have to lay out the rules of the world for us? >> denis: it was like i had done all the homework in "part one." we had designed the box and now i have the chance to play with the sand in the sandbox. it's like if i had done all the homework of the exposition explaining who's who and the backstory and the second part is just a playful playground for cinema. it's more of an action movie, more momentum. the sequences that are i want to say it was much more difficult to shoot but much more fun.

>> stephen: it must not be easy to work with sand worms. >> denis: it's all about casting. >> stephen: you've got to get the right sized worm. i love that desert my favorite is the sign of any prime, the harkonnens, they are v pretty b. the harkonnen's, the black brutalist architecture. even the brutalist machines that they have, the blackstone, is it true and i want to show you this, here's austin butler. in "dune: part two" and he has teeth, you just can't see them. is it true that you shot this in infrared? >> denis: yes, i wanted have an eerie black-and-white. greg fischer my stenographic suggest we shoot it with ir systems. give this can become like translucent, you see the veins in the eyes become insect like.

it's quite the frightening look. the only thing about that is that there's no way back. i made sure to explain. if we do that, it was not possible to bring back color. i love to do that, to commit as we shoot. >> stephen: dangerous. >> denis: it's risky. but it's fun. >> stephen: the risk is the fun? does the studio agree? >> denis: i hope so. >> stephen: there's a lang language. by saying that correctly? it's spoken all throughout the film. you created language, a vocabulary for this. a lexicography, inflection and grammar. >> denis: remnants of that language in the book. david peterson created the old language with its own logic.

they went to school. they were fluent in fremen language, all of them and there was a dialect coach onset that was making sure that the right pronunciation. became really upset -- obsessed with the idea of being as good as they could be with chakobosa at the point where when dan was having a shot that was quite complex and i said we've got it. it was great and the dialect coach and said actually the pronunciation was not actually correct. i was like, come on, brother. it's fake language. we did it again. >> stephen: that's good. >> denis: i was moved by the fact that everybody committed so much to this language. >> stephen: javier is great, he is so fluent. speech we can almost improvise and chakobosa, like the father

chakobosa. >> stephen: crating not just a language but an idiom for the language, phrases that would be unique. >> denis: like all poetry or logic of the language. saying "you are crazy. you're insane." she says "you're insane." but the way she says it is "you are drinking sand." of course for fremen, the ultimate madness. >> stephen: batson your belfry, doesn't mean anything but it means something. to know the phrase, bats in your belfry? >> denis: no. i am french-canadian. i'v no idea. >> stephen: it means you're crazy. you have bats in the bell tower of your church. bats in the bell tower of your church. it means crazy. >> denis: [speaking french] means you have a spider in the mind you are drinking sand.

[laughter] >> stephen: one of the things that got me very excited after i saw "dune" was that shortly thereafter you announced it was going to be "dune: part two" and i was completely satisfied with the "dune" part one but "dune: part two" came out and i'm just as excited about it and i loved it as much. is there a "dune: part three." >> denis: there will be. there's a second book called dune messiah. i might do it. it would complete the ark of paul atreides. it would make sense for me to make a final film. visit arrakis a very last time. [cheers and applause] >> stephen: please. denis, thank you so much. "dune: part two" is in theaters tomorrow. denis villeneuve, everybody. we'll be right back."

i launched our campaign at this union hall. let's go win this thing! then we hit the road and never stopped. you shared with me your frustration at working harder to barely get by and afford a place to live. your fears for our democracy and freedoms and your dreams for yourself, your family, and the future.

it is not too late to realize those dreams. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message because together we can still get big things done. "overflowing with ideas and energy." that's the san francisco chronicle endorsing democrat katie porter for senate over all other options. porter is "easily the most impressive candidate." "known for her grilling of corporate executives." with "deep policy knowledge." katie porter's housing plan has "bipartisan-friendly ideas to bring homebuilding costs down." and the chronicle praises "her ideas to end soft corruption in politics." let's shake up the senate. with democrat katie porter. i'm katie porter and i approve this message. what do i see in peter dixon? with democrat katie porter. i see my husband... the father of our girls. i see a public servant. a man who served under secretary clinton in the state department... where he took on the epidemic of violence against women in the congo. i see a fighter, a tenacious problem-solver...

who will go to congress and protect abortion rights and our democracy. because he sees a better future for all of us. i'm peter dixon and i approved this message.

>> stephen: that's it for "the late show." tune in next week when i'll be joined by rupaul, bernie sanders, and neil degrasse tyson. now stick around for "after midnight" with taylor tomlinson and her guests w. kamau bell, nish kumar, and anjelah johnson-reyes. good night! >>lo
