[cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ >> stephen: thank you. thank you, friends. please have a seat, ladies and gentlemen. welcome one at all in here, out there, all around the world to "the late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert.

everybody is energized. that's so lovely. i hope everyone had a nice father's day. i had brunch with my kids, and then i went home and grilled a hammock with my new beard trimmer. donald trump had quite the busy weekend, because friday was his 78th birthday. and he's a little sensitive about aging. in fact, last week, trump said this birthday was the one he wanted to ignore. [noisemaker squeaks] [cheers and applause] happy birthday, donald! are ya one? are ya two? and i don't -- we don't have time for this. you're just old. you're old, okay? trump celebrated in florida at a fundraiser that featured this towering cake, which looks delicious and looks like it stormed the capitol on january 6. that fondant can take a punch!

it's lovely cake, but i'm surprised they didn't go for trump's favorite cake, "fudgie the..." >> whale! >> stephen: no surprise, no surprise trump turned the celebration into one of his rallies and introduced his new get-out-the-vote line. >> actually tell our people, we don't need your vote. we got so many votes. we don't need them. >> stephen: okay! [cheering] that's okay. you heard him, trump folks. he doesn't need your vote! you know what? on november 5th, take a "you" day, maga-style! go get your gun a mani-pedi, maybe a couples massage with your truck. yell at your kids' teacher about how "the very hungry caterpillar" transitions into a butterfly. have fun.

brown bear, brown bear. what do you see? i understand why trump is not thrilled about turning 78. because his entire campaign message is "biden is old." but if trump won at 78, trump would be the oldest president ever inaugurated. he's so old, they're gonna have to swear him in on a stack of depends in a walk-in bathtub. now, of course while trump's hairstyle stays forever young, you can't say the same about the brain right below it. we got more proof of that this weekend when he tried to shame joe biden into taking a cognitive test and brought up his old white house doctor, ronnie jackson. that name again: ronnie jackson. mr. trump. >> i took a cognitive test, and i aced it. doc ronnie, doc ronnie johnson. does everyone know ronnie johnson? >> stephen: "i love ronnie johnson!

doc ronnie, doc ronnie johnson, he gave me the test, and then i went home to my beautiful wife malaria. i went home to malaria and my two hideous sons, urkel... and carl's jr." [cheering] at the same event in detroit, trump played some of his greatest hits, like comparing himself to a notorious gangster like that's a good thing. >> got indicted more than the legendary alphonse capone. has anyone heard of alphonse capone? scarface. he was so mean that if he had dinner with a person and if he didn't like him, he would kill the person. they would never find him again. like mike lindell. he wouldn't like mike. because, you know why? he'd say "those ads, they are driving me crazy. let's get rid of this guy." al capone would take mike out in two minutes.

he'd never be found. he'd be buried under the world trade center. [audience reacts] >> stephen: i'm no psychologist, but does donald trump want to murder mike lindell? "at first, al capone liked mike lindell because he helped capone, but then mike started to say dumb stuff that embarrassed alphonse. alphonse does not like to be embarrassed. it makes him feel small, like he did in front of his father, fred capone. so, alphonse took mike's 'my pillow' and pressed it over his 'my face,' until mike stopped 'my breathing.'" i don't understand. i don't try to understand. i have one more clip to show you from the detroit event, but first a warning. the following contains graphic descriptions of donald trump showering. children, women who are nursing

or pregnant, and the elderly, pull up a chair and watch this. >> i've had the experience -- i take a shower. i want that beautiful head of hair to be nice and wet. lather. i want it to be lathered beautifully. and i get this best stuff you can buy and i dump it all over. and i'm -- and then i turn on the water, and the damn water drips out. it takes me -- i can't get this stuff out of my hair. >> stephen: "i take very normal, very regular showers. before i turn on the water at all, i dump all the best stuff right on my head. great, premium head-dumpin' stuff. big ol' head dump. but i turn the water on, but the water just drips out, and the head gunk hardens into an impenetrable layer, building up slowly over

decades, like sedimentary rock. until you see this magnificent lacquer ed helmet i have today. anyway, is everyone done picturing me all nude and lathered up? they're we're about to serve lunch. it's little smokey links in a cream sauce. who's hungry?" [laughter] on thursday, trump went to capitol hill and -- this is surprising -- no one smeared poop on the walls. he was there to meet what used to be called the grand old party. and even some of those spineless doofuses noticed that his brain be broke. one source in the room said the former president's speech was "rambling" and "like talking to your drunk uncle at the family reunion." bear in mind, the person saying that was a republican congressman. so really it's like your drunk uncle pulling you aside to warn you that there's an even drunker uncle in the room.

[slurring] "this guy totally needs to lay off the sauce. s'embarrassing. okay, i'm gonna pee over here. don't tell your aunt. don't tell your aunt. wait a second. why are there a bunch of umbrellas in this urinal?" but the big headline coming out of trump's capitol hill meeting is that he called milwaukee, where the republicans are hosting their nominating convention this summer, a "horrible city." this man is about to be in a world of deep-fried hurt. i know from personal experience, you do not mess with milwaukee. [cheering] in 2020, in 2020, you remember. in 2020, the democratic convention was there. i made a few innocent jokes about it. and four years later, i am still legally barred from buying bratwursts. milwaukeeans were so angry that to make amends, i flew there for

a formal apology tour. i participated in the brewers' famed sausage race, where i lost to a 6-year-old girl and then apologized to a stadium full of 40,000 people who, i'm pretty sure, did not accept the apology. i learned my lesson the hard way and i have since learned to appreciate milwaukee, the eternal city. the paris of wisconsin. suck it, sheboygan. and what a beautiful name, milwaukee. some say it's from the algonquin for "the good land." others say milwaukee is potowatami for "cholesterol." i believe that if every city in america were destroyed tomorrow except milwaukee, the republic would roll on, as thomas jefferson himself once said, "schlemiel, schlimahzel, hassenpfeffer incorporated." thank you for your service, milwaukee!

america loves you! no, i'm angry! trump's team tried to defend the remarks, saying the former president wasn't calling the whole city horrible, just crime in the city, with one aide saying "he was directly referring to crime in milwaukee." now, he does have a point. milwaukee has become so soft on crime that this july, their convention center is hosting a convicted felon. [laughter] [cheering] that's a stroker. a bit of a stroker. after the trip to congress, trump addressed 80 ceos at the quarterly meeting of "the business roundtable." the reviews are in, they are bad. the big money guys said things like "meandering" and he "doesn't know what he's talking about." and "i was surprised." you were surprised? do you not watch my show?

i am hurt, jamie dimon. i think you should find yourself a new pickleball partner. trump told the assembled ceos he'd lower the corporate tax rate from 21% down to 20%, and when somebody asked why 20, he replied, "well, it's a round number." that unto itself had a number of ceos shaking their heads. "oh, i love a nice round number like 20. then again, have you seen 8? [whistles] that thing is all curves. 8, in my opinion, is a total 10." we got a great show for you tonight! my guests are dr. anthony fauci and the star of "masters of the air," callum turner. but when we come back, my pilgrimage to rome! stick around.

[cheering] there you go. boom. my brothers and sisters, you know i've made my fair share of jokes about the catholic church. and i am so glad that they have not been translated into italian. because it was fantastic. what an honor. thank you, papa. francis was so nice, and after shaking his hand, i can walk again! let's start at the beginning. i get an email from my jesuit friend

father jim martin, who was helping organize a group from the u.s. to attend a papal audience with artists from the world of comedy. and america sent a stacked conclave: it was me, julia louis-dreyfus, mike birbiglia, jim gaffigan, tig notaro, whoopi goldberg, david sedaris, chris rock, ramy youssef, jimmy fallon, and conan o'brien, who over there is known as "the holy ghost but slightly paler." [laughter] wednesday, we did two show wednesday and i red-eyed to rome with my sister lulu, and on thursday night, our group had an amazing dinner prepared by chef sarah cheekolini of the restaurant santo palato, a meal that included but was not limited to and i kid you not, five pasta courses. because everyone knows after a red-eye to rome, nothing keeps you more alert than carbonara. unbelievable. at the dinner, we were trying to

figure out which of us comedians the italians would ost recognize over at the vatican. my money was on julia louis-dreyfus because of the worldwide syndication of "seinfeld," or as it's called in italy, "the jewish arguers." whoopi goldberg set us straight, saying "two words, baby. sister act." [cheering] and sister act ii. and whoopi was right. the italians were all over saint whoopi, famous for her miracle of "keeping a straight face on the view." the big meeting took place in the apostolic palace, where the pope works. it's an amazing building where everything is gold and marble, just like the apostles lived. of course, since we're comedians, they brought in some clowns. gotta say, not that funny. but we had a wonderful time. it was profoundly moving. here's a picture of me

and just some of my friends. in the vatican. a fun, spontaneous moment... that we staged to distract the guards while the other comedians snuck into the vatican archives to decode the bejeweled illuminati manuscript that renowned symbologist robert langdon used to reveal jesus's ancient secret: add sour cream to cake mix for richness and flavor. [musical hit] oh, yeah. then, i had a chance to speak to the holy father. and what i told him, in italian, was "thank you, holy father. my name is stephen colbert, and i read the audiobook of your memoir in english." to which the pope responded, "ahhh," but was clearly thinking, "we couldn't get-a tom hanks?" [laughter] pope francis gave a beautiful speech wih these comforting

words about what we do as comedians. >> when you manage to draw knowing smiles from the lips of even one spectator, you also make god smile. >> stephen: that was lovely to hear. because, and this is true, i've spent my life wondering if the work i do is compatible with my faith. does god like my comedy? >> god: sure, i do! >> stephen: oh, hi, god! it's god, everybody! say hi. so, lord, thanks for being here. you like my material? >> god: yeah, it makes me smile! >> stephen: and laugh? >> god: well, not like "haha." you know, more of an appreciative grin, like "i see what he's trying to do there."

[laughter] >> stephen: well, either way, i'm honored to have you as a viewer. >> god: of course! i'm 4 billion years old! i'm right in the middle of the cbs demo. but i gotta say, i'm kinda bummed i didn't get invited to meet the pope. i've done comedy! you ever seen a duck's penis? it didn't have to look like that. >> stephen: god, everybody! we'll be right back with anthony fauci!

[cheering] have you... have you thought about running for president? >> dr. fauci: no. >> stephen: no interest whatsoever? you served under six. >> dr. fauci: seven presidents. >> stephen: seven presidents. politicization of science is dangerous but it's not a new thing. this has happened in the past. you've dealt with it in the past. have you seen anything like the way it is now? certainly just a few days ago, your testimony in washington, d.c., made headlines for the hostility. your long str being involved with all these politicians, does this seem like something new to you? >> dr. fauci: quite new and disturbing. back when i first became director of the institute, which -- i had been director for almost 40 years, in the beginning there was always politics.

people of different ideology. center, center left, center right. they disagreed. they sometimes would argue with each other but at the end of the day, there was civility and respect for each other. what we're saying now is what you mentioned, stephen, it's vitriol and pure hostility. i would get questioned in a very strict pushing wave may be back in other administrations. but at the end of the hearing, they would come over it to you and say you know, good job. sorry that we had to be tough with her questioning what we want to get to the right place. now it's pure attack, which is totally -- i believe it's a reflection of the profound degree of divisiveness in the country which is very destructive. >> stephen: your doctor. if you are going to diagnose... america as a patient right now. how would you diagnose us? what's our -- give it to me straight, dog.

>> dr. fauci: i think you need a surgeon, not an internist. >> stephen: a little something needs to come out? what about -- if you are a psychologist. what would you say? >> dr. fauci: there's a degree of schizophrenia in the country. it really is. how far apart people can be that they seem to forget how much alike we are. but we're acting like we're slow, so different. >> stephen: conspiracy has such a big part of the public conversation. seeing patterns where none exist or adding things together into conspiracy that is unlikely. for instance, there's a belief being pushed by some of the people questioning you and congress about the idea that your approval of a grant that went to a company that gave some of the money to the wuhan lab created -- used gain of function to change the nature, the virality of

certain corona viruses that became covid-19 so you are to blame for covid-19. >> dr. fauci: yes. and i also did it so i can make a billion dollars from the vaccines. >> stephen: oh, right. the ideas that you had a deal with pfizer and moderna and astrazeneca. how much of that is true? 90%? 95%? could the coronavirus have been developed at wuhan as part of the gain of function study? >> dr. fauci: not from the grant that was given by the nih to study the viruses they were studying. >> stephen: why not? >> dr. fauci: the nature of those viruses that were studied were evolutionary so far distant from what turned out to be sars-cov-2 that no matter what you did with those viruses you would not be will to do that. that is in me that -- that doesn't mean that somewhere in china it isn't conceivable that someone may been working on something bringing it out for the environment. that's the reason why make an

open mind as to what the cause of it is. >> stephen: so a lot of controversy about what the origin now that is. a, why is it so important that we know? and b, is there anything new we've learned recently? >> dr. fauci: well, first of all, it's important to know because you want to make sure you put into place things that would prevent that from happening again. so since we unlikely will know, because of the real solicitation of any cooperation between china and the united states. >> stephen: their processes are black boxed. >> dr. fauci: and the hostility between the countries is such that there is not going to be cooperation. so if you say it's one of the other, it's either a lab leak or it's a natural occurrence, in my opinion and in the opinion of most virologists who understand the process, it is much more likely though not definitive that it was a natural occurrence from dripping from an animal into a human at the wuhan

market. but since it's not definitive, there's still a possibility that somewhere in china, something was going on where people brought in a virus from the environment and it escaped from the lab. so given that there are two possibilities, the way to do it is to try to prevent both of those possibilities from happening again. put better constraints on the kinds of experiments. they should as good facilities and people are well-trained and do something about the animal-human interface. it is 75% to 80% of the new viruses, infections that come out are what we call zune attic. they jump from an animal reservoir to a human. we saw it with hiv/aids. we see it with influenza. we see it with ebola. so that's not something it's unusual, it happens a fair amount. >> stephen: we have to take a quick break. we'll be right back with more dr. anthony fauci, everybody. stick around.

>> stephen: hey, everybody. we're back with the author of the new memoir "on call," dr. anthony fauci. let's talk about hiv and aids. in the 1980s, you dedicate your career to fighting hiv and aids. as they face and representative of the government explaining to the public what research was

going on and how the fight was going on, you got attacked repeatedly and strongly by aids activists who today, some of those people are dear friends of yours. >> dr. fauci: indeed. >> stephen: tell me about that journey and how did you go from being someone who was vilified by them publicly to someone who is now a dear friend. >> dr. fauci: as it turns out, in the early years when we started just getting experimental drugs that we were trying to test and we were doing experiments and clinical trials, the activist community at the time, which was almost exclusively young gay men, were saying that they wanted to be part of the agenda. they wanted a seat at the table because the rigidity of the scientific process, which worked well for other diseases, the rigidity of the regulatory process of taking so long to approve the drug worked well when you had a disease in which you have other therapies.

but for them, who, when they got sick, they had ten to 15 months to live. they were saying it's not working for us. listen to us. we want to have a say. the exclusion and inclusion criteria for the clinical trials are too strict. the fda is taking too long. the scientific community understandably but now actually inappropriately and incorrectly said "we know what's best for you. let us make the decisions about how we design these trials." >> stephen: is that what you said back to them? >> dr. fauci: back then, i felt that way for a very brief period of time. to what they did is they became demonstrative, iconoclastic, theatrical, descriptive. the scientific and regulatory community pulled back from them when they did it. probably one of the best things i did was to sit down and listen to what they were saying and when you listened to what they were saying, they were making perfect sense and i said to myself, if i were in their

shoes, i would be doing exactly what they were doing. i think of john lewis. they were making trouble but it was good trouble. [cheering] >> stephen: you have a chapter in here. you have a chapter in here on donald trump called "he loves me, he loves me not." i'm pretty sure where that one landed. why that title for the chapter? >> dr. fauci: actually in the beginning i had a very complicated relationship with president trump. in the very beginning we got along very well. i write in the book, i don't know whether it's because two guys from new york, him from queens, me from brooklyn. we kind of understood each other and we got along very, very well early on. it was only when what he was saying and began to say, because he wanted so much for this thing to go away, that he was saying

things that were incorrect. i felt strongly, though it was not comfortable for me to do it, although the people who attacked me think i did it to sort of tear him down, it was not. i have a great deal of respect for the presidency of the united states. i had to contradict him publicly because he was saying things that were not correct. once that happens, then both he and mostly his staff, not so much the president but the staff, i became, you know, anathema, persona non grata. >> stephen: they were coming up with oppo research against you and feeding into the press. >> dr. fauci: it was most unusual. i was working in the white house and that communications people in the white house were doing opposition research about telling the public about i'm usually wrong and what i say. that's sort of, like, weird. [laughs] >> stephen: wow. have you ever met the pope? >> dr. fauci: no, i have not.

[laughs] sorry. >> stephen: the reason i ask is you are just a bit educated at holy cross. he's a jazz away. what do you get from a jesuit education. >> dr. fauci: it played a major role in how my career and life has gone. i went to a jesuit high school here in new york city. not too far from here. the theme was, it was an old boy school, meant for others for the most important thing you do a service to others, to make the world a better place. i have learned that. >> stephen: dr. fauci, thank you so much for being here. the book is "on call" available tomorrow. dr. anthony fauci, everybody. we'll be right back with star of "masters of the air," callum turner!

but you don't catch him in the wild that often. how did yo meet him? >> callum: i am such a big fan of his work and i have been for a long time and i reached out to him. bathat h -- bafta. i reached out. >> stephen: danny, it's callum, what's up? >> callum: he was very kind. we set up this relationship or get competitive with each other. obscure movies. >> stephen: hit me with some of security. >> callum: have you seen "the salesman." >> stephen: have you seen "bible salesman." that's really obscure. >> callum: have you -- are you being competitive with me? >> stephen: of course. i can't do squats. what else?

>> callum: "my encounter usa." documentary from 1956. i hadn't seen these documentaries. >> stephen: these were his to you. >> callum: yeah. i would find this obscure film, watch it. i didn't want to live. of course i've seen that. it's one of my favorites, da daniel. >> stephen: you are doing highfalutin daniel day-lewis documentaries. with your guilty pleasure? you are surfing through the channels on a given night. what are you watching? what are you stopping for? >> callum: right now, what am i watching? my go-to his "emily in paris." [applause] >> stephen: that's a beautiful documentary. i bet daniel day-lewis hasn't seen that one. >> callum: i saw him recently and i asked if he'd seen it and he said "no." >> stephen: you do a fantastic

accent as bucky egan in "masters of the air," which is right now, you can watch it on apple tv. it's about the 100th bomb group and the eighth air force during world war ii. what did you know about these guys before you shot this series? >> callum: i didn't know anything about these guys. through an incredibly harrowing. >> callum: what they did. i've seen "band of brothers" and "the pacific." those guys on land. in the sea, they had their story. it's about time that the guys that went up in these planes got their story told. 77% of these men went down. it's really a veterinarian harrowing. probably the most volatile environment anyone ever put themselves in. in warfare. if you ask the guys on the land if they would go up and switch places, they would say no. it's safer with your feet on the ground. >> stephen: the planes, are they original? the things that we are seeing

taxiing, are those antiques or reproductions? >> callum: they are reproduced. >> stephen: did you go up in one of them? >> callum: no, no. >> stephen: just wondering. you faked it really well. >> callum: we had good cgi. we have this technology called the volume, it's a new technology people are using. it's 180 degrees in screen. it would feel like you were up in the sky so i guess i could say yes. >> stephen: go ahead. >> callum: we would get jet lag we'd be up there for six hours just waiting to come down. >> stephen: we have a clip. can you tell us what's going on? >> callum: yeah, this clip. it's one of the first night they've had after heavy cas casualty. >> you good? if you feel anything. >> yeah, i miss those guys. >> me, i don't feel anything.

>> can you do me a favor? >> want? >> come here. i want you to hit me. that's an order. come on. i want you to land one right on my beak, right here. >> major. >> i'm no major. rank is off. >> stop horsing around. >> horsing around? you're from new york, right? [groaning] >> i felt that. [applause] >> stephen: callum, thanks so much for being here. >> callum: thank you for having me.
