the night. i like when we do the food stories better. i would rather leave hungry the nauseous. >> well, we should just put that in the tagline of the show. >> thank you, anyway, for watching, even if you are a little nauseous. the late show with stephen colbert is coming up next. >> leaving them hungry, not nauseous. >> last night during his wisconsin rally, donald trump, whose party has a plan to cut social security and medicare, made a strange accusation against president biden. >> if you want to help joe biden wheel granny off the cliff to fund government benefits for illegals, then vote for crooked joe biden. >> the following is a paid advertisement by the trump campaign.

>> president biden and his policies want our nation's elderly to be wheeled off a cliff. >> curse you, joe biden! >> but donald trump has a more compassionate plan for our nation's elderly that also addresses our migrant crisis. stack old people like lincoln logs across the southern border. now grammy can feel like she's doing her part. >> it's good to feel useful again. bless you, president trump. we feel so much safer now. >> so this election, the choice is obvious. >> i'm donald trump, and i'm building the wall, and it's going to be made out of your grandmother. >> announcer: it's "the late show with stephen colbert"! tonight... all too wealthy! first, stephen welcomes gillian anderson sonequa martin-green, and musical guest remi wolf. 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] >> stephen: hey! welcome one and all in here, out there, all around the world, mr. and mrs. america and all the ships at sea to "the late show." i am your host, stephen colbert. [cheering] a special and personal shout out to everyone here in the ed sullivan theater tonight who got to experience the magic of springtime in new york. [laughter] 40 degree rain that somehow shoots up off the sidewalk into your underpants.

well, i've got a little something that will make you feel all warm and fuzzy: rich people are getting richer! this week, forbes released its annual world's billionaires list, with one editor calling 2024 an "amazing year for rich people." another one? that makes 300,000 years in a row! congrats, guys. i would use some of that money to buy a very strong door and a deep moat, because they will eventually come for you if you keep this [bleep] up. [cheers and applause] we know who they are. we know who they are. i've got a very strong door. there's an exciting new addition to the billionaire list: it's taylor swift! [cheering] come on. she deserves it. she deserves it. tay-tay's a billion-nay-nay! so get ready for her new album about her on-again, off-again

love affair with the tax code, "tortured accountants department." swift made her debut on the list along with fellow new billionaires, basketball's magic johnson, fashion's christian louboutin, and "law & order's" dick wolf. that's right. oh, yeah. dick wolf's a billionaire now. explains that new opening sequence. >> in the criminal justice system, blah, blah, blah. who cares? i'm in monaco, bitch. ka-ching, ka-ching. [applause] >> stephen: all in all -- that's the graphic that keeps on giving. ask not... all in all, there are more billionaires than ever, even though 32 billionaires died, because -- >> awww. >> stephen: really? that's really sweet. what a lovely audience we have. because even for billionaires, the only things certain in life are death and... actually, just death. coming in on the list at number 1,438 is donald trump,

the only billionaire... [booing] how did i know that was coming? he's the only billionaire on the list who lists his occupation as "bible salesman, comma, defendant." [laughter] lovely group of people. what kind and forgiving group of people. oh, trump held a rally yesterday in grand rapids, michigan, and there were some signs it was going to be a bit of a bad one. specifically, this bad sign: "stop biden's border bloodbath." also how trump warms up for his rallies. "stop biden's border bloodbath. stop biden's border bloodbath. you know you can't do business in new york. bing-bing-bing-bing bing-fa-shee!" [applause] the pre-speech music... fa-shee! the pre-speech music was a weird choice. this is what was actually playing as attndees arrived.

♪ non e piu triste il mio cammino a portofino ♪ [laughter] there hasn't been that much dissonance between visuals and music since this iconic scene from "psycho." ♪ papa loves mambo ♪ ♪ mama loves mambo ♪ once trump started talking, it got real racist real fast. he called migrants "animals," and took the crowd on a tour of his insane fascist imagination. >> we will stop the plunder, rape, slaughter, and destruction of our american suburbs. they're hiding all over and breaking into rural communities. they're hiding in bushes. illegal alien criminals crawling through your windows and ransacking your drawers. >> stephen: "they're climbing through your windows. no, folks. they're climbing through your windows. they're leaping out of their slimy eggs and latching on to your fellow astronauts' faces. then, in the middle of dinner, an anchor baby bursts through

john hurt's stomach and hides somewhere on the ship and everybody starts getting killed until sigourney weaver saves the day in her teeny tiny underpants. then they really lose the thread of the story in "covenant." what's danny mcbride doing there?" [cheers and applause] covenant? alien? trump wasn't just lying about immigration in michigan yesterday. he was also lying about the 2020 election in wisconsin. >> you know, we won this state. we won this state by a lot. and it came out that we won this state, actually. >> stephen: pretty bold to go to a state you lost and tell the crowd you actually won. that's like bumping into your ex and saying, "amanda, hi. you look well, which of course i know because it came out that we're still together. we're still together by a lot." he also told one of his favorite made-up stories

about election night. >> remember, 10:00. everyone's calling me. they're saying, "congratulations, sir." and then at 3:02 in the morning, a lot of dumps happened. >> stephen: yes. "a lot of dumps." [laughter] so, so... [cheers and applause] just a regular night for donald trump. there were times that it was obvious this was the first time he'd seen the speech. like this moment. >> they're all leaving. just last week, masterlock -- i buy masterlocks -- closed down.... now i won't buy them any more. >> stephen: kinda caught himself by surprise there. "and charles manson -- great guy, hell of a musician, killed a bunch of people, which is why he's bad, i guess. lock him up with a masterlock, which we do not use."

trump also promised a brand-new holiday. >> november 5th, there's going to be called something else. you know what it's gonna be called? christian visibility day. let's call it christian visibility day. >> stephen: "and you can see plenty of christians in my brand new rock n' roll bible, featuring the constitution, plus all the lyrics of ted nugent's deeply moving religious anthem 'wang dang sweet poon-tang.'" >> louis: wow [cheers and applause] >> stephen: tu turn to your hymnals. [laughter] trump was in wisconsin because yesterday was primary day. and even though both trump and biden won by huge margins, there were some interesting results there. on the gop side, some voters went or candidates who aren't running anymore. nikki haley took at least 10% of the vote in four states,

and in new york, 4% went for chris christie. [laughter] you've really gotta piss off new yorkers to get them to vote for a guy from jersey who shut down the george washington bridge. i'm guessing trump also lost votes to curbside oil-and-urine puddle, pile of rats mating in an outdoor dining shed, and eric adams. biden also... mr. mayor. [cheering] oh, there's a big story today about our nearest celestial neighbor, the moon. we just learned that the white house has directed nasa to create a time standard for the moon. though obviously they're gonna need two: moon standard and moonlight saving time. the moon is getting its own time zone because scientists need a time-keeping benchmark for lunar spacecraft

and satellites that require extreme precision for their missions. but it's also gonna be great for anyone who needs an excuse to day drink. "hey! it's moon o'clock somewhere." 237 miles that way. that way. oh, no surprise, there's more moon news. everyone's gearing up for next week's total solar eclipse! and according to leading moon journalists, eclipse mania is approaching a fever pitch! the last time eclipse mania hit this hard, bella had to choose between edward and jacob. pick jacob! that's right. i'm team jacob! [cheers and applause] yeah! yeah! unless i'm not! which one is which? they both have cheekbones and magic! there's so much moon-citement

that a state of emergency has been declared as 1 million people are expected to visit niagara falls to see the eclipse. niagara falls, what a great place to be during totality. "wow. it's so dark and crowded. i'm gonna mosey over this barrier toward what sounds like a soothing white noise machine." [laughter] everyone out there. soothing. i hear it's lovely. i hear it's lovely. everyone's getting in on the madness, including corporations. krispy kreme has released a total solar eclipse donut. sonic will offer a "blackout slush float" and frito lay will unveil a new sun-chips flavor that will only be available during the four and half minutes of the eclipse. 'cause there's no better way to celebrate a once-in-alifetime natural phenomenon. "oh, the eclipse is happening! quick, get in line at the convenience store!"

[laughter] not to be outdone. not to be outdone, i hear papa john's will be offering its limited edition "i don't know, this kind of looks like a moon, right? it's round. the moon's round. shut up and eat your garbage, you freaks!" we got a great show for you tonight! my guests are gillian anderson and sonequa martin-green. do stick around, won't you? ♪ ♪ >> announcer: "the late show with stephen colbert" sponsored by red lobster. lobster fest is ending soon. head to red lobster today.

[cheers and applause] in just a few moments we are going to have a couple amazing actresses come out here. from "star trek: discovery," sonequa martin-green will be out here just a moment. but before that, the one, the only gillian anderson will be out here. got the "scoop" on the netflix.

time permitting we have two amazing young irish step dancers, kevin and dee conway will be joining us later in the show. very talented. very, very talented. you know, folks, here at "the late show," we talk about whatever we want. my name is on the building. nobody asks questions. but one of our self-imposed mandates is that, if we can, we talk about what everyone's talking about. and today what everybody's talking about is something that's pretty hard to talk about and that's israel and gaza. since october 7th, the whole world has seen the horrible inhuman cost of this conflict. the best way for israelis and palestinians to achieve a peaceful and prosperous future. i'm sure there are disagreements in this room. but i hope there is one thing we can all agree on: human beings should have food and water.

[cheers and applause] here's the thing. well, on monday, seven world central kitchen aid workers were killed by an israeli airstrike in gaza. our thoughts are with the families and the loved ones of these heroes, and please forgive me if i mispronounce any of these names. saifeddin issam ayad abutaha, john chapman, jacob flickinger, zomi frankcom, james henderson, james kirby, and damian sobol. how could something like this happen? despite the fact that world central kitchen coordinated their movements with the israeli military, and the team was leaving a warehouse in central gaza after unloading shipments of food, they were hit by multiple precision israeli drone strikes. they were riding in three vehicles, including two armored cars carrying the world central kitchen logo on the roof. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu claimed it was a mistake, but he wasn't exactly apologetic. >> unfortunately in the last day there was a tragic case of our forces unintentionally hitting innocent people in the gaza strip.

this happens in wartime. >> stephen: nothing just happens. you are responsible. if your answer is, "this happens in war," then maybe consider ending the war. [cheers and applause] this is not an isolated incident. on top of the thousands and thousands of innocent lives that have been lost, more than 200 aid workers have been killed in gaza since the war began. many of you know, the world central kitchen is near and dear to my heart. it was founded by our friend chef jose andres to bring food to hungry people after natural disasters and in war zones. jose addressed the situation today in a beautiful op-ed in "the new york times" titled "let people eat." in the op-ed, jose makes it clear that world central kitchen doesn't take sides. their work is based on the simple belief that food is a universal human right. it is not conditional on being good or bad, rich or poor,

left or right. we do not ask what religion you belong to. we just ask how many meals you need. and they walk the walk. so far, in this conflict, world central kitchen has delivered 1.75 million hot meals in israel, and 43 million meals in gaza. [cheers and applause] they get in there. they get in there. they get in there with the food and they do the job. they're like "seal team doordash." oh, you better tip. but now, because of this airstrike, all of their operations in gaza are suspended. that threatens to worsen the levels of hunger and malnutrition in gaza that one u.s. agency called "unprecedented in modern history." so, jose pleaded with israeli officials to open more land routes for humanitarian aid immediately, adding, "we know israelis. israelis, in their heart of hearts, know that food is not a weapon of war." that's right.

food is not a weapon. except of course for taco bell's big beefy 5-layer burrito. live mas! for now. so, here's where we're at. you've got an unfolding human tragedy and an organization that's just trying to do good. i mean, they literally made a documentary about wck called "we feed people." the only way that could be an evil organization would be if that sentence ended with "to people." but instead of being welcomed, they have been attacked by the idf, and hamas has hauled members of their team in for interrogation. so whatever you think should happen in israel and gaza, i hope we can all agree that people should be allowed to eat. and if you would like to make a donation that would go toward the peaceful non-partisan enterprise of allowing humans to have their most basic needs met, please think about donating to world central kitchen by going to this qr code.
