"a quiet aboutface." [farting] >> announcer: it's "the late show with stephen colbert"! tonight... bed bad and beyond! plus, stephen welcomes anya taylor-joy! and second gentleman douglas emhoff! 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! ♪ ♪ have a lovely show. please have a seat, my friends. thank you very much. welcome. welcome o one and all to "the late show." i am your host, stephen colbert. ladies and gentlemen, we've been talking about donald trump's hush money trial for five weeks now, and i for one am thrilled that he is not in court today and we can talk about anything else, like donald trump's classified documents trial. that one... that baby's really heating up. remember the classified documents case? with the nuclear codes offered

as one of the toppings at mar-a-lago's waffle bar? well, turns out, that scandal is exactly much worse than we could've thought, because we just learned that his lawyers found classified documents in donald trump's bedroom four months after the fbi search of mar-a-lago. [booing] oh, my god. the only thing more shocking to find in donald trump's bedroom would be a current wife. [cheers and applause] "what are you doing?" so, these documents spent as much as four months right next to donald trump's bed. explains why the stamp changed from "classified" to "kill me." this new information is from a disclosure of an opinion right? a disclosure of an opinion written last year by u.s. district judge beryl howell, who was furious that trump still, inexplicably, had more documents, writing "notably, no excuse is provided

as to how the former president could miss the classified-marked documents found in his own bedroom at mar-alago." now, to be fair, trump rarely goes into his bedroom. as we've recently learned, he does most of his sleeping in court. [laughter and cheering] the new disclosure also reveals that once trump realized that security cameras at mar-a-lago could capture his employees moving classified government information, he allegedly ensured they would avoid the cameras when moving boxes. that's never a good sign. no one ever says, "take these toy donations to the orphanage and [whispering] avoid security cameras." one footnote in the opinion was particularly jaw-dropping. the judge states that a

trump adviser acknowledged scanning the contents of the box that contained the classified materials and storing them on a personal laptop. could it be... hunter biden's laptop? [laughter] no, this is way worse. there was one detail that conservatives have jumped on just to try to change the subject. the search warrant for the second raid down at mar-a-lago had language authorizing the use of deadly force in appropriate circumstances, which is boilerplate procedural text used by the fbi, which obviously i know because i work at cbs, home of "fbi," "fbi: most wanted," "fbi: international," and "fbi: tracker." tracker! he'll find four more fbi shows.

[cheers and applause] i love you, tracker. despite the fact that this is perfectly normal, republicans are claiming that the fbi was ready to assassinate trump. in fact, trump already sent out his fundraising email to his cult members. "they were authorized to shoot me! i nearly escaped death." i'm sorry. you nearly escaped death? which means you didn't? "that's right. i almost made it out alive. now, i'm fundraising from heaven which for some reason is very, very hot, and there's nobody around here but my dear old friend jeffrey epstein. hey, jeff." [applause] jeffrey epstein. all of his friends are here.

trump did attend court yesterday, and yet again did some very echoey complaining about the prosecutor. >> he came from biden. and i don't know if it's biden 'cause i don't think biden has any idea what the hell's happening. but it's from the fascists that circle in the oval office, they circle the resolute desk. the beautiful resolute desk that's being stinked up. [laughter] >> stephen: stirring words. it reminds me of that sign on harry truman's desk: "the stank start here." the former president also whined about colombian-born judge juan merchan. >> the judge hates donald trump. just take a look. take a look at him. take a look at where he comes from. >> stephen: "they don't make good judges in colombia. colombia should stick to what they're known for -- fleece jackets and affordable raincoats. i deserve a judge from one of the good countries like patagonia or northface."

earlier this week, trump's social media account put out a bit of disturbing content, it was a campaign video with a headline about a "unified reich." now, before you get too worked up, there's a simple explanation. donald trump wants to rule over a unified reich. now, trump eventually took down the video, but the biden campaign pounced on it. >> what's next for america? >> is this on his official account? wow. a unified reich? that's hitler's language. that's not america's. he cares about holding on to power. i care about you. >> stephen: "whoa! [applause] wow, huh. golly moses, they're putting videos on the phones now? that's crazy! also unified reich?

come on, jack-boot jack! i can't understand a word of it: it's all fleebenleeben shnitzel-strudel. it's delicious, but it's not american. i'm joe biden, and i don't understand this message. what's happening? marco? marco?" that biden response got a lot of clicks, so the biden campaign wants to build on the new viral trend of hand-grandpa-the-phone. because reportedly, they're looking for a meme page manager. so look forward to some hot new biden social content, like "ermahgerd turmp ers hertler!" "i can has youth vote?" and of course, for the very online, "skibidi biden." skibidi biden! skibidi skibidi biden! joe! joe! joe! skibidi skibidi biden! hitler's language! trump! trump! trump is using hitler's language! hitler's language! trump is using hitler's language! skibidi skibidi.

[cheers and applause] >> stephen: now... if you don't understand that video, your grandchildren will explain it. and you still won't understand. oh, here's something that's not surprising at all. it's been nine years since the supreme court legalized gay marriage nationally, obergafeld. and according to a landmark new study, in that time same-sex weddings haven't harmed straight marriage. well, duh. everyone knew that at the time. it's like announcing, "new study finds making love to wife doesn't get neighbor pregnant." back before, ten years ago in 2015 before the ruling,

back before it became the law of the land, dumb people made all sorts of stupid arguments against same sex marriage, including saying that legalization would inevitably lead to people marrying animals. well, of course marriages between humans and animals did not come to pass, although i know one beautiful, lifelong union between a man and a worm. [laughter] why are you going "aww?" do you feel bad for the worm? oh, no. that worm has come down with bobby kennedy. not only has gay marriage not been harmful, the study says that by extending marriage rights to a greater number of couples, interest in marriage increased for the broader population. makes sense, once gay people get into something, it always becomes a trend. like rupaul's drag race, the music of lady gaga, or dressing like you have a shred of self-respect. the report also found that after gay marriage was legalized, same-sex households adopted more children and there was

a drop in the rates of syphilis. well, sure. 'cause once you have kids in the house, there's just no time for anything fun, like movies or restaurants or syphilis. and it's almost pride month, so to celebrate, nbc's streaming service, peacock, is debuting a new lgbtq+ nature documentary called "queer planet." let's take a look at the trailer. >> it's clear that no matter where you look on our planet, nature is full of queer surprises. [laughter] >> stephen: yowch! we're gonna have to update the birds and the bees. kids, when two bighorn sheep love each other very much, they give each other a very special nut punch! this is fun and this is joyful, so of course, conservatives are having a total meltdown over it, with one right wing twitter user calling it: "science revisionism for a satanic gay agenda."

and another groused: "if animals were indeed gay, there would be no more animals." yes! so true, just like how since some people are gay, there are no more people. so that's "queer planet" on peacock, starting june 6th. but not to be outdone, netflix has just announced "queer beagle for the straight eagle." we got a great show for you tonight! my guests are anya taylor-joy and second gentleman of the united states, doug emhoff. but when we come back, the mysteries of pregnancy. you might learn something. ♪ ♪ >> announcer: "the late show with stephen colbert" sponsored by allstate. you're in good hands.

if you're doin' it right. [laughter] those mysteries range from things like how the placenta forms to exactly what controls the timing of birth. we don't know what starts labor, but scientists can confirm that pregnancy begins by seeing a photo of jeremy allen white. i want to be clear. i'm not pregnant -- that i know of -- but i know someone who is. so here to shed some light on the mysteries of gestation, my actual writer and certified pregnant human, carley moseley. carley, come on out. there you go. thank you so much. >> carley: thanks, steve! >> stephen: shakin' for two. carley, you're pregnant -- >> carley: hang on, steve.

i have an announcement. i'm pregnant. >> stephen: wow, congratulations! how are you feeling? >> carley: right now, i'm feeling good! but by the end of this sentence, i might be feeling bad. or great or just super itchy. >> stephen: that sounds pretty confusing. >> carley: it is. there are so many things we don't know or are just now learning about pregnancy. one new study showed that a mother's diet could determine a baby's facial features in the womb, which is why some babies born to parents who work here at "the late show" look like this. >> stephen: okay. makes sense. >> carley: and then there are all the weird symptoms. i'm exhausted but i can't sleep, i have crazy congestion except when i have nosebleeds, and at the exact same time i both must and cannot poop. >> stephen: it's so beautiful. i remember when evie was pregnant, she had a lot of different symptoms and anything she said to her doctor, he would just say "yeah, yeah, that's totally normal." >> carley: yes, exactly. "normal" symptoms of pregnancy include carpal tunnel, restless leg syndrome,

changes in taste, and "needing your boss to buy you a gift card to the apple store." >> stephen: i'm sorry. what was that? >> carley: or just, like, 600 bucks. it's a study i read in the "new england journal of mama want a vision pro." >> stephen: carley, those cost like $3500. >> carley: well, then that, steve! for just a second, i wanna go to an alternate reality where i can still see my feet. >> stephen: carley, i'm not gonna give you cash. i can't do that. >> carley: ooh, ooh, ow! doctors say that disagreeing with a pregnant woman can trigger labor! >> stephen: no, they don't. >> carley: okay, well, i will remind you the exact trigger for the onset of labor isn't known, which is one of the reasons we can't accurately predict due dates. >> stephen: you said you were due in august. >> carley: well, maybe, steve! could be august, could be october, could be a new year's baby. and we don't even know which year! for all i know, this thing could come stompin' out in 2025 with a full set of chompers! >> stephen: carley, that is really unlikely.

>> carley: okay, well, just to be safe, my maternity leave should probably be about 20 months. >> stphen: h.r.'s never going to approve -- >> carley: oh! whoa! >> stephen: is the baby kicking? >> carley: i think they're crying, steve. you wouldn't want to make a baby cry in front of the greatest audience in late night, would ya? [cheers and applause] >> stephen: we'll look into it. i don't want to upset your baby, and i know that for the mother, there can be some dramatic emotional swings. >> carley: careful. >> stephen: unless there aren't. >> carley: thank you. >> stephen: but we'll do everything we can to accommodate you during this magical and legally protected time. is there anything else you need? >> carley: no, steve. just talking through this stuff is help enough. plus all those lunches you promised to send to my office. >> stephen: i did not promise to send lunches to your office.

[cheers and applause] >> stephen: we're back with the second gentleman, douglas emhoff, everybody. you are the first jewish spouse of any president or vice president. how has that focus the messages you want to put out there? >> mr. emhoff: being the first jewish person ever to be a white house principle, i take that responsibly very seriously. i feel very accountable being in this role. and so just from the get-go, even prior to that horrible day of october 7th, i was speaking out about hate, speaking out -- to all types of hate because i realized that's part of that

obligation and responsibility but it also meant we are going to have a mo mizzuza at the residence. going to celebrate passover, we are going to do a menorah lighting. living openly and probably as a jewish person. that's what i'm trying to do. >> stephen: are you shocked by the rise of anti-semitism not only in the world but in the united states? >> mr. emhoff: unfortunately not. this was boiling up, you go back to charlottesville, go back to the shooting at tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh, you track this hate. i called it an epidemic of hate that was really starting to percolate and starting from early 2021. started to focus on fighting anti-semitism, i wrote about it and spoke about it. in fact, i was a participant in the first ever national strategy to combat anti-semitism, which the biden white house introduced a year ago in may of 2023.

this is something with the help of the president of course, the vice president, we had to meet the moment and certainly since october 7th, you can see it's like crisis, a crisis of anti-semitism. we've been working on this issue almost nonstop in front of the camera. i just spoke here in new york. i was speaking with the president and the rose garden this week. i'm going to continue to speak out publicly and privately as well, reaching out and being there and just checking in. but again, always living openly and proudly. this hate affects all of us. doesn't matter if you're jewish or not. this hate is bad for our country. it's bad for our democracy. it's a poison and it must be stopped and we all must be against it, all forms of hate. [applause] >> stephen: you and the

vice president are going to celebrate your tenth anniversary in august. how did you meet? what made you fall for her? >> mr. emhoff: it was a blind date. a client meeting. client came in and after the meeting, it was kind of a tense meeting. it was a woman. she said are you single? are you asking me that? are you single? i said well, maybe. do you know kamala harris? the attorney general? yeah. i think you guys would be great together. i'm like, okay. so that night i was at laker game with some buddies and the client sent me her number. it was like, don't screw this up. i did a text, hey, at the laker game. she said "go, lakers. "even though she was a warrior fan. the next morning, the next morning i made what i thought was a quickly. i decided early. i had an early meeting. in the car. don't dial that number. don't do it.

>> stephen: what time is it? >> mr. emhoff: 7:30 a.m. >> stephen: 730 in the morning. >> mr. emhoff: i dialed the number. she doesn't answer. then i'm like "hey, it's doug." four or 5 minutes of that. i'm like, oh, my goodness. >> stephen: you do a four or five minute message? >> mr. emhoff: literally, hey, it's doug. i thought i blew it, i'm never going to see her. we did go on that first date. love at first sight. we were literally talking about our future by the end of that first date. the next morning, i'm sending her an email. here are my availabilities for the next six months. ten years later, 11 years later, here we are. [applause] >> stephen: thank you so much for being here, doug. second gentleman douglas emhoff, everybody. we'll be right back.

>> stephen: that's it for "the late show." tune in tomorrow when my guests will be chris hemsworth and inventor james dyson. now stick around for "after midnight" with taylor tomlinson and her panelists andy richter, penn jillette, and aasif mandvi. good night!
