11:35 pm
>> public service announcement before he goes on tv in front of the whole country and says how stupid that was and how much he regrets it. >> yeah, we had a story on the show a couple of weeks ago a people pulling bear cubs out of a tree to take xers with them. this and that are in the same. thank you for watching. the late show with stephen colbert is coming up next. the news continues streaming on cbs news bay area. have a great night. >> apple wants you to know that it's new thing ipads are carrying all sorts of tools in a small space, but the way it went about showing that in a new ad is not getting rave reviews from the audience. >> we see creative objects being crushed to form the device. some viewers say it hits the wrong note, especially in the
11:36 pm
state of artificial intelligence and automation. >> but that was an apples -- wasn't apple's only ipad that sparked controversy. >> your mom, your dad, and your sister. all of your best friends from college and your adorable frail grandmother. look at if you -- what if you could send them all with one device? new ipad pro, the thinnest graveyard yet. >> announcer: it's "the late show" with stephen colbert! tonight... damn, daniels! and ryan gosling takes the colbert questionert! plus, stephen welcomes... desi lydic! featuring louis cato and "the late show" band!
11:37 pm
and now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, it's stephen colbert! [cheers and applause] >> stephen: you're very kind! ladies and gentlemen, please have a seat! welcome! welcome one and all to what we saw dominic called "the late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. [cheers and applause] today at the manhattan district courthouse, stormy daniels took the stand for the second time to face some blistering cross-examination from trump's attorneys who did everything in their power to discredit daniels, but this was not her first rodeo. and they would have known that if they had seen her movie, "my third rodeo." it's very good.
11:38 pm
it's part of a series. part of the series. if in their cross-examination, from's lawyers had one goal, portray her as a money-grubbing, sleazy, dishonest operator by attacking her social media posts and merchandise stale stomach sales. "and for more on why it is so wrong to be a money-grubbing sleazy merchandise seller, please buy my -- it's got words, i've updated it to include a s sexy little take on -- the main person doing the grilling was trump a 30 and therapist trying to make it through another one of your dumb stories, susan necklace. necklace really tried to throw storming off, suggesting that as a porn star, she had -- to which
11:39 pm
stormie responded that the sex in such films is very much real and if the story of her night with trump had been made up, i would have written it to be a lot better. [applause] >> oh! >> stephen: damn! in addition to hearing about it, the jury got to see her spank him in real time. for years she was down with the nondisclosure agreement and couldn't talk about her time when afterwards for eventually breaking her silence, even though you agreed you would not discuss the story, you then decided you wanted to publicly say that you had sex with donald trump. stormy's response, "no. nobody would ever want to publicly say that. [laughter and cheering] that's good. that's good.
11:40 pm
it is true, no one wants to admit to having sex with donald trump, that is why on don jr.'s birthday certificate the father is listed as "no comment." for weeks his trial has been -- yesterday on his day off from court, yesterday he hosted a dinner at mar-a-lago for buyers of his nft trading cards. he had his own little comic on. last time a president did that, jimmy carter had a booth where he would sign your peanuts. to remind you, a while back, a year ago, who knows, trump sold nft's with stirring we stupid images of things, came doing things like hanging out in space with a fire line, holding a guitar in a totally normal way and grilling burgers for dog that kristi noem will later shoot.
11:41 pm
in this nft dinner was a special event for donors who fought at least 47 at 99 bucks a pop, if you do the math that meant these people spend at least $4,653 for jpegs of donald trump. for that same amount of money you could buy a vending machine& with a credit card reader and bill receptor and he would still have $54 left over for doritos and skittles, which coincidentally, where the entrees at trump's dinner on wednesday. some attendees also received physical cards with pieces of the suit and the tie that trump was wearing when he was arrested in georgia. the suit was actually kind of easy to do because it was already in scraps because that's just how trump gets undressed. "oh god, just cut me out, release my flesh from this poly blend prison! the jaws of life!
11:42 pm
trump is not the only one making a fool of trump. this week the biden campaign is a kendrick lamar distract to attack trump's policies, possibly the most scathing use of hip-hop by a u.s. president since this immortal speech by fdr. >> the only thing we have to fear is... rats in the front room, roaches in the fact. don't push me because i'm close to the edge. i'm trying not to lose my head. it's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how i keep from going under. >> stephen: that's why they called him grand master frank. [cheers and applause] that's how they beat hitler! that's how he beat hitler! over on capitol hill capitol hill house speaker mike johnson easily survived a vote to oust him thanks to 163 democrats voting to protect his job, and to think those democrats, mike rubbed his
11:43 pm
johnson all over voting rights by introducing a so-called "election integrity bill" aimed at keeping noncitizens from voting, though he did identify one minor flaw with his proposed legislation. >> some have noted that it's already a crime for noncitizens to vote in a federal election. and that is true. >> stephen: so, it's already a law. kind of redundant, like god's first draft of the ten commandments. thou shalt not kill, thou shall not murder, three, thou shall not push someone down elevator shaft. four, seriously, guys, enough with the murdering. not only is it already illegal, it's also not happening. research has shown that noncitizen voting is exceedingly rare. yeah! have you seen voter turnout? citizen voting also exceedingly rare. [applause]
11:44 pm
reporters asked johnson about that. >> are you saying there are currently non-u.s. citizens voting federal elections and do you have an estimate of how many? >> the answer is that it's unanswerable. [laughter] >> stephen: are you the speaker of the house or a magic 8-ball? i just got some disturbing news, is this true? i got some disturbing news about cbs's parent company paramount. it's for sale and if sony entertainment and the finance group apollo acquire paramount, they plan to break it up. no, you can't break up para paramount! it's a mountain of entert entertainment. not several loose piles of amusements. evidently the plan would include auctioning off cable channels like mtv and the paramount+ streaming service as well as cbs. well, if it's an auction, i will start the bidding at $1.
11:45 pm
do i hear $2? no? i own cbs. first order of business, i'm going on vacation. goodbye. [cheers and applause] i have been informed that i do not own cbs that the ed sullivan theater is being converted into a dollar general. of course the biggest story in politics is still yesterday's bombshell. brain worms! consistently independent candidate rfk jr. admitting that "a worm got into my brain and ate a portion of it, and then died." those the most shocking campaign slogan since ross perot, "there's a leech on my butt that controls my thoughts. i was prepared to let that bring worms life, but he responded and as you might imagine, his
11:46 pm
response wasn't as sharp as it might have been because late yesterday tweeted "i offered you five more brain worms and still be president trump and president biden in a debate! bobby. you clearly don't understand how any of this works. you don't eat the worms, worms eat you! [applause] ♪ the worms go in, the worms go out ♪ ♪ in your stomach and out your mouth ♪ but he is so warm hungry he's already made a new campaign at. >> rfk jr. has the courage to lead, has a vision for america, and has a worm in his head that ate part of his brain and then died. most washington insiders would be worried about of another bringing worm, rfk jr. promising to eat five more.
11:47 pm
probably because the part of the brain to tell them that's a bad idea was eaten by the first one. this november vote for rfk jr. >> stephen: we've got a great show for you tonight! from "the daily show," desi lydic is here and ryan gosling takes the colbert questionert. if when we come back, "meanwhile."

11:55 pm
[applause] i've got a little something. the study noted that participants who consumed the most, averaging seven servings of these foods per day or more, had a slightly higher risk of dying early. wait a second! you're telling me that science says i can eat seven sin the buns or more a day with only a slightly higher risk? was this study authored by dr. me? meanwhile, cold stone creamery is being sued over its pistachio ice cream because it's made with no pistachios. that is outrageous, and i would like to inform the audience at this opportunity that every single point of stephen colbert's american dream is at least 7% -- at least 7% stephen colbert. i for one wanted a higher

percentage but ben & jerry's rejected my original idea, stephen colbert's jose can you see. meanwhile. meanwhile, boeing, the number one reason you are looking over that in-flight safety cardigan, it's been a rough year for boeing from holes popping open on the side of planes from wheels falling off the ground to engines catching on fire. hits keep on coming and everyone is okay. yesterday another boeing plane narrowly avoided disaster after a landing gear failure. here's the footage. fun fact, that is the gentlest fedex has ever delivered a package. laughter [cheers and applause] okay. sure. since the making planes thing is going so well, they've decided to branch out to spaceships. since 2014 they've been working with nasa to develop the star liner spacecraft, which was
