>> stephen, stephen, stephen! stephen, stephen, stephen! stephen, stephen, stephen! stephen, stephen, stephen! (cheers and applause) >> stephen: welcome to the report. folks, thanks, good to have you with us, folks. you know, if you watch this show you know, and i take this seriously, my most solemn duty is holding our elected officials accountable. and tonight i have reeled in the biggest fish in the big apple, our mayor. (cheers and applause) no, not michael bloomberg, bill de blasio. i've waited a long time to hold de blasio seat to defire because we all know what this man is.

mayor de blasio is a socialist, all right. he's just flat out a socialist. >> america's leading leftist, mr. tax the rip, the mayor of new york bill de blasio. >> bill de blasio, this your mean socialist. >> i think bill de blasio is a socialette, i call him comrade mayor. >> comrade mayor bill de blasio is going to sock it to the rich, sock it to wall street. i wouldn't be surprised if wall street leaves new york. >> stephen: that's right. that's right. thanks to comrade de blasio, wall street is going to leave new york and move to the part of the country where people like them. i'll get back to you on that one. his honor launched his persecution campaign of the rich as soon as he took office, when a blizzard hit new york city and residents of the wealthy upper east side complained that their streets didn't get top plowing priority. and he is still charging them, folks. i have not seen snowplows on the upper east side in

months. point is bottom line, i don't like this guy. so how did i get him on my show, well, according to the internet, i bullied him into accepting an invitation to my show on twitter. that's right. (cheers and applause) >> boom. i booked the mayor on twitter. it's my biggest coup since landing joe biden on tender. (applause) anyway, the mayor will be on later and joe biden, even later. of course, folks, i have not stopped covering national politics as wellment i cannot wait for the 2016

election. because its democrats only have one item on the menu, hillary clintons who seoul call if i-- sole qualification is the fact that she is probably going win. meanwhile republicans have a buffet of enticing options. you have curley fries, you have beef patty, you have smile salsa. you-- mild salsa, you have milder salsa and of course leftover-- overs. but my personal favorite-- (cheers and applause) folks, my personal favorite is texas governor and cartoon of a texas governor rick perry. this guy should have been a lock in 2012. colbert super pac supported him in the iowa straw poll with a series of powerful ads urging iowans to vote for rick perry with an a, an a for iowa. but rick perry blew it. first when it was revealed that his family's hunting

camp had a name which my career will not allow me to say on tv. so hermann cain. >> -- hater. >> stephen: and that damning revelation led his opponents to say -- >> ah, schuk a ducky. classic. of course, folks, what really sank rick perry was a debate gaffe that no one can forget except him. >> it's three agencies of government when i get there that are gone. commerce, education and the-- the was's the third one there -- >> you can't name the third one. >> the third agency of government, i would do away with, education-- the-- commer commerce -- >> and let's see-- i can't, the third one, i can't, sorry. >> stephen: oops, of course,

also the rallying cry of anyone who donated money to his campaign. but governor perry had a valid excuse for forgetting, he was high. you see due to a bad back he was on painkillers. and it became obvious perry was on the junk when he asked newt gingrich if he could help him bake the cookies in his hollow tree. but folks, remember. that rick perry that high, out of touch rick perry is gone. after two years of agonizing reappraisal the governor has completely reinvented himself with a pair of glasses. he can't lose now i mean those make him look smarter, more serious, and-- (cheers and applause) -- but perry, oops-- but

perry, perry has also made a more troubling change, to cure his aching back so he can dial back the painkillers, perry recently announced he had given up on cowboy boots. >> yeah, oh yeah, yeah. yes, you were mildly shocked. i could tell. you heard right, the governor of texas swearing off cowboy boots. that's like the governor of colorado turning his bong back into an apple. even worse, even worse, perry spurned his spurs for plain black loafers, nice shoes, dad. even worse, he's pairing those loafers with 2014's least appealing fashion accessory, barack obama. and i'm not the only one who is enraged, folks, so is texas land commissioner jerry paterson who complained i lament the fact that our governor can now pass for a west coast metrosexual. oh, oh, oh.

meow! (laughter) i don't know what a metrosexual is but i'm guessing they don't say, meow. (laughter) this is definitely going to be an issue in 2016, folks. conservatives respect tradition. when a man makes a commitment to boot is a commitment for life. that's why i'm still wearing these babies i got when i was a member of the kiss army. (cheers and applause) all right. i will never take these off. because i want to rock-and-roll all night and visit my chiropractor twice a week because they are killing me. i think, i am so high on pills right now. we'll be right back.

he first won our hearts in 1941, issue number 1 by punching hitler in the face.

but-- folks-- (applause) when cap tries to stop him the iron nail hits him with flying needles which remove the superserum from captain america's blood causing him to lose his supersoldier powers and instantly age 65 years. meaning his new superserum will be ensure. i just cannot believe this is happening right now. i mean captain america was this close to being promoted to major america. this is a disaster, nation, with steve rogers brought there is a huge void in the captaining of america. i mean who among us is prepared to step in? i mean-- obviously-- (cheers and applause) >> stephen, stephen, stephen! stephen, stephen, stephen! stephen, stephening stephen! i got to say that had not

occurred to me. but obviously you have to be extremely patriotic. you would have to look decades younger than your actual age and it should be someone who already owns captain america's actual shield. that's right.

i hope you're ready, sir, because the free ride is over. all right? >> this ain't the upper west side, okay. this is the colbert nation, all right? for the few people out there who may not know you are the 109th mayor of new york city. before that you were the city's public advocate and before that you were a city councilman. what is your vision, sir, of this great city, you want to bring us back to the 80s. the bad days of the squeegee men and rampant crime and leg warmers, that's what you want? >> the leg warmers weren't so bad. but it's a progressive vision, an inclusive vision, creating a city of opportunity. >> progressive means socialist, you're a socialist. >> progressive means creating opportunity. >> you are a socialist or you are not a socialist, you raised money for the sandinistas in the 80s. you are a socialist, you are a communist. >> stephen, in this country with vast income inequality,

and growing income inequality, we actually have to change our course. >> why do we have to change course. those of us who have the income do not wish you to change our course. >> well, that doesn't surprise me. >> okay. >> but look at new york city, the worst income inequality since 1929 and a situation where more and more of our people can't afford to live here. 46% of all new yorkers at or near the poverty level. we can't continue with a divided society. in fact, we want to create some unity. we're going to create more jobs, higher wages and benefits, we're going give people paid sick leave. >> government can't create jobs. >> government. >> only the private sector can create jobs by trickling down to the poor people, and i as a rich person and my friends, we don't have enough money yet to come over the rim of our bucket and start trickling. we're so close. i promise you i promise you, any day now if you just let us have more of the money, it will-- that trickle, it's like a siphon, once it gets going. once if gets going.

(applause) >> i didn't realize it was that close. >> oh yeah, we're right on the edge, so please. >> i think government can make sure there's fairness in our society. and i think government can make sure, thank you, that there is-- we can make sure that people have bee sent wages and benefits, that the middle class gets reestablished. that we have an education system that actually prepares our young people for a future. next year we will have free full day prek for everybody. >> let's get to that because to hand out the free, you know, nap times and juice boxes you want to do to these, you know, these freeloading miss kreents, that you wanted to tax rich guise, you said the rich of new york will pay for these. you got stopped from doing that. but why do you want to take my money away. why is it my problem if somebody who can't afford prek gets prek. let them work for it

themselves. >> well, four-year-olds are not yet in the workforce. >> okay, that's another problem. that's another problem. do you realize those little hands change bob ins so well. -- bobins so well. >> i think the fact is it is in everyone's interest, it's in those who are doing well's interest. it is in folks who are struggling's interest to have a stronger society with. what does that mean. an educated society. the future of this city, the future of this country runs through our education system so full day prek. full day prek means that you'll have kids with a solid foundation regardless of demographic background. everyone getting real opportunity and ready for the modern economy which demands a higher level of education treatment than any time in history. real national security, real strength derives from an educated people. and that's what we're going to have here.

let's talk about something else we're about to have in this city and that is a rail strike, okay. we could very well have 8 unions shut down the lirr come sunday-- monday morning, 12:01 a.m. on monday. what are you as mayor going do to stop that from happening. are you sending in the pinkertons with the trunchons to give them a taste of all daddy war bucks? >> the long island railroad is under the jurisdiction of governor como, he is working very hard to come to a resolution. >> not my problem. >> no, it's something -- >> bring me the bowl, that pontius pilot may wash his hands. >> i'm hopeful he will get to a res luig with the unions. >> mayor bloomberg was in office for three terms. he they ever took a week off. >> uh-huh. >> he might actually still be in your office hiding in the cabinet someplace. will you now admit, now are you safely ensconced in office. not going to yank you out of

there. will you admit that mayor bloomberg was a great mayor for the city. >> mayor bloomberg did some things well. and mayor bloomberg made some mistakes. staying for a third year was a big mistake. it was undem krakt. he used his wealth to achieve it. but in office he did some very good things for public health. de some good things in make us more environmentally sustainable city. de some good investments in education. but in the end, he did not address income inequality. he did not address stop and fisk. he didn't address a number of issues that were taering city and demand a resolution. >> you addressed stop and frisk. you stopped stop and frisk as we know it but the problem is now if i ran domly group young black men i seem like a weirdo. >> that would be a problem. >> okay. >> well p mr. mayor, thank you so much for joining me.
