(audience chanting "stephen") >> stephen: whoo! whoo! number one! (audience chanting "stephen") >> stephen: whoo! well come to "the report," everybody! thank you so much for joining us! (cheers and applause) folks, it is fantastic to have you here! it is so exciting! (cheers and applause) you know, nation, i'm sure you can tell from the excitement in this room we are entering the last few months of my show, and i pledge to you that i will stay strong on family values to the bitter end. since day one of this program, i've had an unshakeable stamp on gay marriage. it is a moral evil that

threatens our sacred institutions, our families and lives until it became popular and then, since then, who knows. you know, to each his own. you know, none of my business. (cheers and applause) i might even officiate at a wedding some day, who knows? (cheers and applause) and every day, there's another reason for me to not give a what ev epees. >> it's a big guy for gay right and couple ace cross the country have tied the knot after court hearings at a national and local level made same-sex marriage legal in a majority of states. >> same-sex marriage may soon be legal in 35 states. >> supporters of same-sex marriage supporting another legal victory this morning. a federal judge striking down alaska's ban on gay marriage. >> stephen: yeah, gay marriage is legal in alaska. now gay couples will have the right to celebrate the traditional alaskan way by having bristol palin cold-cock

one of their guests. (laughter) as much as i love america, as a person of faith, all that really matters to me is the position of the catholic church and that's always been, guy on girl, light on, a little weeping, a little praying. until now. >> news from the vatican, widely described as something of an earthquake by the catholic church. >> a stunning shift by the vatican on approach to gays and lesbians. >> bishops drafted different words -- >> stephen: vatican is welcoming the gays in! next thing you know, the place will be filled wan techniques! just listen to the immoral, depraved support the vatican offered in this document saying "homosexuals have gifts and qualities to offer the christian

community." okay, they have gifts but it's mostly kimonos and i'm always feeling like i'm in a bathrobe. the document goes on to ask the f the church is capable of well coming gay people and guaranteeing them fraternal space in our communities? aren't frats already gay enough? listen up pope fabulous i, the lord is perfectly clear on the gays. the first time he saw a naked guy running around, he ribbed out his rib and forced him to have sex with a woman. he was clear with her, too, no fruity stuff! i'm so excited, the mid-terms will almost here. it's almost like christmas but with more talk about jeez. with 21 days left before the election, one group the g.o.p. is trying to still woo, woman! >> the republican party is in worse shape with women than in

2010. >> republicans and women, it's been a message problem. >> the republican party has a problem communicating with women. >> study ordered by two republican groups found female voters feel the party is stuck in the past, said the g.o.p. is intolerant and lacks compassion. >> stephen: the g.o.p. has problems communicating with women but that doesn't mean they don't care. it's like the shy kid at the dance who wants to get your attention by denying you equal pay. means he likes you. (laughter) fortunately, one g.o.p. group developed a campaign that's sure to win the lady vote, the college republican national committee or crnc! they created an ad for the governor's race of charlie crist and naked mole rat rick, and the

ad asks women to make november 4 the most magical day of their lives. >> it's a big deal for me now that i just graduated from college. >> rick scott is perfect! . he has ideas that don't break the budget. >> they are imitating the popular tlc show "say yes to the dress" to appeal to the female voters in the 15eu78 way you would appeal to veterans with cupcake wars. in this ad, each candidate is metaphorically represented by a different wedding dress and the bride looks radiant in the rick scott but mom has other ideas. >> i like the charlie crist. it's expensive and a little outdated, but i know best. >> don't forget, the charlie crist comes with additional cost.

there's over $2 billion in taxes. >> mom, this is my decision. i see a better future with rick scott. >> sometimes it's hard to let go of old style but it all works out in the end because she said yes to rick scott! (cheering) >> stephen: this ad is touching, isn't it? awww! passed with with all kind of classic conservative marriage. traditional marriage, fiscal conservatism and hating mom. i look forward to the next g.o.p. ad selling baseball and apple pie to go (bleep) themselves. this ad -- (cheers and applause) this ad -- this ad shows that the modern g.o.p. finally understands the real concerns of women -- weddings! i mean, who needs access to contraception or equal pay. you're getting married. let him take care of that hard stuff. of course, there are a lot of race this is year so they have custom fitness add for blushing

voters nationwide. >> tom corp corbett is perfect. he rick snyder is perfect. hutchinson is perfect the bruce is perfect. >> stephen: trying out that many candidates disqualifies her from wearing white (cheers and applause) >> stephen: i've created my own ad i believe addresses the real concerns of young, single women. jim? ♪ >> wow! you are looking confident and self-assured. >> i am. even though right now it's "that time." >> mid term? yeah. me, too! i don't have your confidence. what's your secret?

>> well, i'm being represented by rick scott in my private sector. >> that explains it. i'm still using... charlie crist. >> it's been four years since he was governor. he could never give you that fresh feeling. just look at this side by side comparison. under charlie crist, taxpayer dollars will be leaking everywhere. but rick scott keeps your tax dollars where they belong, even on heavy spending days. >> but where does scott stand on employers providing coverage for contraceptives? >> rick scott, the best candidate. >> period! (cheers and applause) >> stephen: and, ladies... if you're looking for even more freshness, don't worry. the g.o.p. also has a full line

of douche bags. of douche bags. we'll be right

(cheers and applause) >> stephen: what are you talking about? how can you drive a hot rod lincoln from san francisco to the tar sands? >> it's beautiful till you get there. >> stephen: yeah? then it looks like a war zone, a disaster area. >> stephen: that's why i never go to canada, beautiful till you get there. >> i spoke to a few remaining fish up there. they said it was not right up there. >> stephen: your lincoln doesn't use gas? >> no, it uses electricity and cellulosic ethanol. as a matter of fact, it's faster than it used to be. it performance better. it's cleaner. i hate to say the word "green," but it is green. no, it's not green. it's white. i like white, not green cars.

>> stephen: why are cars so important to you? >> well, they represent the culture. they represent our culture and our lot -- you know, like american history. look at these things, the way people felt, except for the english car, the third one up. the last time you were here, you tried to get me to sing a long about impeaching the president who, at the time, was george w. bush and you wanted to impeach him over getting us into the war in iraq. now that obama is getting us into a war in iraq, are you up for impeaching him, too? >> stephen: no, no. no? >> stephen: no? no. >> stephen: then you're a double hypocrite? don't care this time? >> i think wish impeach him for fracking. >> stephen: really? in the interest of the american people. >> stephen: are you an american? are you a canadian or american? >> i am part of the free world. >> stephen: are you a canadian

to the best this can do, is 5% of the sound. it's a great bargain. >> stephen: i thought it was a great bargain. >> yes, it is, because you get to have a million of songs but you just get a tiny bit of each one, but you can recognize them. >> stephen: how much is this? $399. >> stephen: so not only does it look like a toborone, it costs as much as a toborone in a hotel room. >> stephen: depends on which hotel you stay?
