in lady news. for starters. the first time since 29008 campaign hillary clinton was in iowa to announce that she was thinking about leaning towards maybe running. and of course, you know, you know the clinton machine, they announced it perfectly. >> i'm back! >> stephen: yes, hillary's back! and i think there is no better way to launch a campaign than with a catch-phrase from a 199 movie. >> i'm back! >> stephen: thank you for your service, randy cade. let it not be forgotten. that was almost as good as when bill clinton launched his '92 campaign with a catch phrase from a 1986 movie. >> i [bleep] anything that moves! (cheers and applause) >> stephen: thank you for your service.

of course, while there's a lot of talk that hillary could be our first female president, this past weekend we once again elected a strong female leader. >> welcome to the 2015 miss america competition. >> jon: . >> stephen: yes, miss america that one magical night a year atlantic city shows the world just how close you can come to turning a profit. the ladies were lucky. the hair was lovely, the teeth were high and firm. but the highlight of the night was the pop-up delivering fact doesoids about the contestants. miss virginia was terrified of frogs. miss massachusetts was attacked by a cheetah in zambia. miss florida slapped a shark as a kid. shark slapping. my god, when did that become a talent. >> she could have won it though. >> and this year's winner was miss new york. seen her, i believe-- seen

this thursday citizens will rock 5-- walk 500 miles an walk 500 more to-- ♪ ♪ folks, (laughter) i'll take it. they're voting on their future. >> we are just 72 hours away from a once in a lifetime vote on scottish independence. >> scotland will vote this week on whether to sever 100-year-old ties with britain and become an independent nation. >> after 307 year its scotland could break a which from the rest of britain. >> stephen: that's right, scotland could actually secede. i didn't even know they ha had-- slaves. at issue is whether scotland will be able to control their own tax and social security rates and decisions about the level and allocation of public

spending. this is an emotionally charged struggle which traces its roots to the days of william will as-- wallace. >> they may take a life but they'll never take our freedom to calculate pension benefits based on inflation or earnings, whichever is higher! (cheers and applause) freedom! and the stakes, and the stakes of our young scotland. a vote for separation would mean the near resignation of british prime minister david cameron. back in 2012 cameron agreed to the independence vote as a calculated gamble. and if he loses scotland he'll have to make it up by winning india back at the crap table. folks, any time people are and rely demanding something and i don't entirely understand why, i'm with them. as an irish american i knew

all too well, what it's like to suffer under the boot of an indifferent monarchy. answer my letters, prince. i would die for you. and it is looking good for the pro independence yes scotland campaign. the polls were running against secession until recently when 47% of those surveyed said yes to independence while 45% said no, while another 8% said something no one else outside of glass go could possibly understand. i'm not saying the road to independence won't have a wee bump. for instance, scotland wants to keep using the british pound. but england's chancellor of the exchequer says no farthing way. >> scotland walks away from the u.k., it walks away from the pound. >> stephen: meaning the new country would have to revert to traditional scottish currency, slabs of peat moss

stamped with sean connery's face. (laughter) but-- [bleep] but scotland is totally ready to rock out with its lock out. the scots jacked up with england-- shacked up back in 1706 after they went broke fridaying to con ol-- colonize panama. but after the last 32 years scotland has generated more tax per capita than the u.k. as a whole. so on their own they would be one of the world's 20 wealthiest countries. hi no idea they sold that much adhesive tape so i stand with my secessionist brothers. today i stephen colbert in a proud scotsman ich bin ein edinburgher. (cheers and applause) now and now (cheers and applause)

>> stephen, stephen, stephen! stephen, stephen, stephen! stephen, stephen, stephen! (laughter) (cheers and applause) within scotland's road to independence is sure to be a breeze. here to tell me just how breezy it's going to be is assistant u.s. editor of the guardian matt wells. matt, thanks so much for being here. matt, guardian, england's newspaper. do you think that scotland should secede. >> yes, i think scotland should succeed and secede. >> stephen: what's the difference? >> look, the union has

lasted 307 years. and for much of that time it's britain and scotland very well indeed. but the ties that band the union together things like the british empire, the british statehood that went with a century of fighting two world wars, they have faded now. and the institutions have released them and feel distant and discredited. >> stephen: will it be good for everybody? for them to secede? >> yeah. >> stephen: is that going to be positive for scotland and england? >> it will be very good for scotland. and i don't think it will be bad for england. as the gdp of scotland is per capita $2,300 pounds greater than it is in england. >> stephen: is that in metric because i don't convert. >> yes. >> stephen: what is that in inches. >> scotland is a low population, resource rich country. we have a great resources. very much untapped root

resources. >> stephen: do you wish david cameron harm? (laughter) >> no. i mean the guardian is a progressive leftist newspaper. >> stephen: you would like to stick a knife in him. you see chaos. would this be chaos for the people in england. >> i think will be difficult. >> stephen: is that an english word for firebombing or something like that. difficult, what does difficult mean in england. >> frank lick it will be cataclysmic for them. >> stephen: you want this because it is a good story for you. >> it will be a great story. >> stephen: you're open to the ses session the same reason people watch nascar. >> david cameron-- . >> stephen: hoping that the car will just slam not wall. you're cutting the brabling cables of scotland. >> david cameron based his reputation on saving the union. he was the one who granted the referendum in the first place it was his decision to make the slate yes or no question. >> stephen: why did he do that? why did he do that. >> massive political miscalculation which now looks as if it might backfire in his face.

>> stephen: why did he do it? >> because at the polls at the time suggested that only 30% of people in scotland supported independence. david cameron, what some people might say was political arrogance thought that he could easily win. that the -- it would be united against the upstart nationalists. they would be easily defeated. >> stephen: could the queen have done something to stop it? what if she had worn a different hat? >> yes. >> stephen: or waved slightly differently or something. >> the role of the queen is really interesting and whether, an her views as well. >> stephen: where does she fall on this. >> she did intervene in the debate on sunday coming out of church near her estate in scotland where she spends the summer. she said to a well wisher who asked her what she thought of the referendum, overheard by the press she said that she thought that

scots voting on thursday should think very carefully indeed about their future. >> stephen: oh my god. (laughter) >> stephen: that is a smackdown from the queen. that is the equivalent of saying well, do you feel lucky, punk? matt, thank you so much. matt wells from the guardian. we'll be right back.

(laughter) but this week i learned that there is something even worse than being a tin stroking intellictu,-nerd. >> "the new york times" flup is now reports that more than a dozen prominent washington research groups, think tanks took tens of millions of dollars in foreign government money in recent years.

some foreign countries were essentially trying to buy influence, paying those think tanks to put their position in a positive light. or to gain influence with lawmakers. >> stephen: yes, foreign governmenters are buying influence, but good news america has an export. and folks, the corruption by supposedly independent think tanks like the brookings institution goes deep. for instance,-- after qatar agreed to make a donation to brookings, a visiting fellow said he has been told during his job interview that he could not take positions critical of the qatari government. and his only accepted pronunciations of the country. like cutter, gutter, cuh-tar or quisnos. and arrd cording to the report japan gave 1.1 million for research and consulting for trade and direct investments between japan and the united states. when asked why, a japanese

embassy spokesman explained japan is not necessarily the most interesting subject around the world. nothing interesting about japan. take away the whaling, the sex robots and strapping meats to the heads of teenage girls-- other than that, it's basically ohio. but the number one foreign influence buyer is, say it with me, norway. why didn't you-- the damn norouies committed at least $24 million to an array of washington think tanks over the past four years to raise norway's profile. including donations to the center for global development, the atlantic council and the brookings institution. which explains this footage. some brooks recent symposium on eradicating global hunger. i'm sorry, i'm being told that that chef is actually
