(cheers and applause)

(cheers and applause) welcome to the late show. i'm stephen colbert. (cheers and applause) well, there are some big science stories in the news right now. this has been the hottest winter on record. scientists have discovered gravitationanawaves. but tonight i want to talklkbout more important story: horses can read our minds. (laughter) don't panic. they'll know. a new study from the university of sussex found that horses can recognize human emotions based on our facial expressions. yet another r ason you should never play poker with a hohoe. (laughter) they never pitch in for the pizza. i won't have it. you know what this means? those central park carriage horses know when i'm depressed -- usually because i'm looking at central park carriage horses. now, this shouldn't have come as a surprise to me. i rode horses when i was a aid,

skittish around the horse. he can sense it. just try and relax. and erase from your mind the fact that you're standing next to a 2,000 pound creature that will trample your bones at the first sign of weakness." (laughter) the takeaway here is we finally know why cowboys always rididoff alone on horseback. they can share things with their horses they could never tell the other cowboys. (laughter) (cheers and applause) oh, horsey. you're the only one who gets me. the girls at the saloon aren't paying attention to me anymore. i'm fat. don't lie to me. i know i am. i can tell your back hurts when i'm riding you. i never know how to say it -- is it "lasso" or "lassoo?" so i just say "rope circle." why do i go on all these long

what am i runnin' away from? how are you doing over there? (laughter) >> good, good. >> stephen: you doing good? (laughter) this is meredith, everybody. say hi to meredith. you all right? (cheers and applause) >> it's very light. it's just a head. >> stephen: okay, good. yeah. >> stephen: i think we might be done. >> okay. >> stephen: could you leave as a horse, please? (cheers s d applause) >> stephen: i'm so sorry. well, you don't have to be a horse to recognize how excited i am about tonight's show. my first guest is the star of the new movie "triple 9," casey

(cheers s d applause) then, i'll sit down with hollywood legend and living ball of anger, richard dreyfuss. (cheers and applause) (cheers and applause) fantastic. fantastic. plus, we'll be visited by the legendary mavis staples. (cheers and applause) and you all are very lucky, because she's going to sing a song. (cheers and applause) oh! that right there is jon batiste and stay human. they're about to crank it up and rip off the knob, but before they do, one more thing: a professional w wstler proposed to his girlfriend in the middle of a m mch. i don't have the heart to tell her it's all fake. ( band playing "late show" theme ) >> announcer: tonight... stephen welcomes casey affleck.

and music legend mavis staples! featuring jon batiste and "stay human"! >> announcer: and now it's time for "the late show" with stephen colbert! (cheers and applause) >> stephen: hello. there you go! (cheers and applause) whoo! (cheers and applause) thank you, everybody!

i don't know if you guys follow the news or watch what's happening in the world, but it was a big weekend in who won? who lost? this is the road to the white house. >> the american dream is dead. >> stephen: on saturday, democrats caucused in nevada and in nevahda, which i've recently learned is the same state. and once the votes were counted in nevada, many were asking could hillary clinton recover from such a debilitating victory. >> hillary clinton held on to a thin margin in nevada against bernie sanders. >> hillary clinton barely beats bernie sanders in nevada. >> it was a very tough win for her. >> stephen: yeah. tough win! don't know how many more humiliating wins she can take. when she announced, hillary

she's still not presiden what a let down. of course, for bernie this was a triumphant defeat. as he wrote his supporters, he leaves nevada, "with roughly the same number ofofelegates as hihiary clinton." yes, just like the super bowl, where the carolina panthers left with "roughly" the same number of points as denver. (cheers and applause) also on saturday, the republicans held "their" nevada primary in south carolina. i didn't see that coming. donald trump was declared the state's big winner by himself weeks ago, and the voters said, "yeah! okay! that sounds good." but that was just the "electoral" victory. many in the media see a different winner. >> florida senator marco rubio collected his best finish so far, second-place finishshn sosoh carolina. >> surging to second place, marco rubio riding the

nikki haley. >> ted cruz says the south carolina race was really a tie for him and marco rubio. >> stephen: yes, marco rubio and ted cruz also came out on top. this primary had more winners than a little league awards banquet. that's right, jeremy, you win "coolest n nkname for your bat!" congratulations to you and wooden thunder! of course, of all the winners, possibly the biggest winner was the man who won, donald trump. so now the obvious question is will he ever not win? >> the big question on everyone's mind is trump unstoppable? >> now the inevitable g.o.p. nominee? >> what he has right now appears to be unstoppable. >> stephen: yes, trump is unstoppable. he's like godzilla with less foreign policy experience.

(applause) and i'll admit, i thought he was just doing this to promote his reality show or sell more steaks. when he announced his intention to be president, it never ococrred to me that his s d game was to "be" president. but it's time to end the denial. we as a nation must prepare for the very strong possibility of president donald j... (applause) i think i just trumped in my mouth a little. and i'm not the only one having to get used to the idea. here's what he said when asked if he thought he could be "presidential." >> i mean, i can act as presidential as anybody that's ever been president other than the great abraham lincoln. i thought he was pretty hard to beat.

just being humble. he's got a lot in common with lincoln. i'm sure if he's elected, half the country will want to secede too. (applause) and this weekend proved once again that the primaries are a gladiatorial death-match between warring tribes, cheered on by those of us in the bloodthirsty media who feed on their pain. it's like the hunger games. no, it's worse than that. it's... the hungry for power games! (sheers and applause) welcome to the hungry for power games! tributes, assemble! oh, my... they're dwindling. now there are just hillary clinton and the seven dwarves,

and doc. beuse over the weekend, we lost the biggest dwarf of all: jeb! jeb! jeb! oh, that's the last time we'll hear his mournful mating cry, jeb, jeb. jeb, jeb. (laughter) no one answered his mating cry! on saturday, jeb finished a distant fourth in south carolina and, as he left, john ellis bush, a man named after his own monogrammed towels, described the race with an appropriate metaphor. >> tonight, i am suspending my campaign. i congratutute my competitors who are remaining on the island.

this election is like "survivor"! but sadly, jeb did not run an "amazing race." he just didn't have that "xfactor," and nothing short of an "extreme makeover" could make voters forget his "big brother." (cheers and applause) and it all began so promisingly for this career tribute, trained since birth to fight for capitol city. he had all the advantages of name recognition. but was saddled with the burden of name recognition. in an election where republican voters cheered talk of mexican walls, this is how jeb announced he was in -- (speaking spanish) >> stephen: and... he's out. (applause) how do you say "hasta la vista" in espanol? tribute jeb distinguished

a moderate effort, saying early on that a republican centrist must be willing to "lose the primary to win the general." congratulations! you're halfway there! (applause) this must also be a blow to tribute jeb's sponsors in the capitol, who gave him $150 million! meaning his campaign cost as much as "inception," only the ending of jeb's campaign makes sense. but i will always respect tribute jeb -- for even as his campaign collapsed around him, he never lost his dignity. >> i think the next president needs to be a lot quieter but send a signal that we're prepared to act in the national security interests of this country, to get back in the business of creating a more peaceful world... please clap. (applause)

clap" and they did! if only he'd said "please vote for me." and i will also respect him for trudging on despite sinking poll numbers, dubbing himself "the joyful tortoise" and handing out toy turtles to anyone who would take them. but now the turtle is dead. he's joyful no more! what does one do with a dead tortoise? (laughter) (flushing sound) bye bye! (cheers and applause)

now, let us bid farewell to the fallen. (cannon fire) farewell, gentle jeb. your dynasty has been forever put to rest. now, the most powerful bush is a tie between your cousin billy and that baked beans dog. please clap! (cheers and applause) we'll be right back with casey

(laughtete you're doing a great job in this. i hope your character ends up okay in the end. you're the good guy in this movie. >> yeah. there are a lot of bad guys. >> stephen: yes. a very formidable cast of bad characters. >> stephen: played by very formidable actors. >> yes, superheros. we had real superheroes, and a tough guy who was once a slave, norman kills a lot of zombies in the "walking dead." aaron paul because drug dealer for a long time. all these guys and i'm the one good guy. >> stephen: and woody harrelson. >> who's insane.

(cheers and applause) >> yep. >> steen: you played madoff. i did. >> stephen: you think after playing madoff you could pull off the same kind of con he did? because you're probably a better actor than he is and now you know what the secret is. could you take us for a couplpl of bills? say by starting a civics initiative and asking for donations? (laughter) >> no, it could be being a movie star and being paid movie star wages. that's a big con.

nice work if you can get it richard, thank you for being here and telling us about our civic treasure we have in america. >> you're not kidding. if you don't watch out your kids will turn to you and say why did you abandon us like this? because if you look at what they're learning in public school, you will be appalled and agast. they're not learning anything of any substance. they don't know who they were, who they might be and certainly don't know who they are. we are the people who created sovereignty amongst the people and our politicians don't -- we don't work for them, they work for us. and we watch america like we're passing a car accident as opposed to beingarticipants

we don't do th. we're aphrase frayed of exercising any kind -- we're afraid of exercising any kind of thunderstorm being on this show is a great privilege and moment which is why i'm being rude and taking advantage of it. >tephen: not asude as i'm going to be when i edit it.
