captioning sponsored by cbs >> this fall, from the network that brought you "c.s.i., ""n.c.i.s." and "criminal minds" comes the newest most exciting program of all. the story of a rogue f.b.i. direct squad, and a crap load of e-mails. discovered 11 days before the election, loose cannon james comey has to read 650,000 e-mails on huma abedin's lapstop, e-mails hillary clinton thought she could hide. but this fall-- >> comey don't play that. >> no e-mail will go unread is there a coup pon for flea medication.

mark add read. we have a live one here! subject line, "shiauthorize the murder of antonin scalia?" oh, my god. false alarm. it's an e-mail from fresh direct. 10% off. that's pretty good. >> "f.b.i.: e-mail reader's units," coming this fall from cbs. i mean, he wouldn't just waste our time, right? >> it's "the late show with stephen colbert." tonight, stephen welcomes mel gibson. luke bracey. and musical guests, tegan and sara. featuring jon batiste and stay human. and now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, it's stephen colbert! ( cheers and applause )

>> stephen: thanks, everybody. hey, what's up, jon? good to see you. have a good one. hey, everybody. what's up, mark? what's up, chris? what's up, paul. hey! welcome to the "late show." thanks so much for being here. thanks, everybody, please, have a you're too kind. thanks, everybody. welcome to the "late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. well, ladies and gentlemen, mark one's calendar because election is but one week away. seven days. time enough to tell your family you love them and make your peace with god. as the captain of the "titanic" once said, "this is not a drill." ( laughter ) of course, we're also one week away from my live election show on showtime. come for the political jokes. stay for the full-frontal

( cheers and applause ) and-- and-- you can sit down. you can sit down. and the polls are tightening. the latest abc news/"washington post--" let's say sunglass hut poll-- has donald trump moving ahead of clinton by one point as enthusiasm declines. though, tofa trump gets close to a woman, enthusiasm tends to decline. ( cheers and applause ) now, the poll found-- the poll found that only 45% of clinton voters have strong enthusiasm for hillary. now, i get it. she's like eating your vegetables: nobody wants to eat broccoli, but i think we can all agree a head of broccoli would make a better president than donald trump. ( cheers and applause )

cheese sauce, something like that. and it's been a good week for donald trump. his poll numbers are up, hillary's email scandal is relevant again, and he just got his second newspaper endorsement. is it the "journal?" is it the "post?" no, it's the "crusader: the political voice of white christian america!" yes, trump was endorsed by the ku klux klan newspaper. we finally answer the question: "what's white and white and white all over?" ( laughter ) ( applause ) and i don't know about you-- i don't know about you-- ( applause ) but when i first heard this, i was like, "what took you so long?" was the klan on the fence? "i don't know, maybe jill stein, maybe jefferson davis." not sure who we're going to endorse this time!" and trump's not the only one

111-year history, "variety" has endorsed a presidential candidate-- hillary clinton. ( cheers and applause ) that's right. that's right, the magazine named "variety" said, "let's have a second president clinton!" i'll let that one sink in. and the tightening polls don't seem to worry hillary clinton. her campaign is planning an election night explosion of fireworks or the wow, she hasn't even won and she's planning her celebration. i hope the big finale is when they spell out the word "hubris." i hear-- i hear-- very nice. very pretty. very pretty. i hear they even planned the menu for the victory celebration. they're having chicken. well, right now, they're just eggs, but they're counting their chickens. but not all the news for

democratic contributor donna brazile has resigned from cnn after wikileaks revealed she leaked a primary debate question to the clinton campaign. according to wikileaks, brazile sent an email to clinton campaign chair john podesta with the subject line, "one of the questions directed to h.r.c. tomorrow is from a woman with a rash." now, no name was included, so i assume they said, "just look for the woman wearing says 'i'm with herpes'." turns out the question was about lead poisoning in flint, michigan. so, finally, someone lost their job over flint. now, that may have been an email that hillary didn't want you to see, but there's an entire book donald trump doesn't want you to see, because he apparently wrote

those living and working in trump tower, such as an employee having sex on the set of 'celebrity apprentice'." oh, it's the perfect steamy read for anyone who's ever wanted to read about gary busey in a three-way with meatloaf and melissa rivers. the book-- could be nice. it could be nice. the book was released in 2012 and is called "trump tower," which is definitely an improvement on the original title, "symbolic penis". ( ht >> jon: wow, man! >> stephen: yeah. what was that? what was that? now, this novel contains a lot of b.d.s.m., with one critic writing, "the red room of pain in 'fifty shades of grey' would fit right into trump tower." no surprise, given the pain in the ass he's been all year. ( cheers and applause )

thank you. >> jon: hey, hey, hey! >> stephen: remember, our safe word is "november 8." these are actual passages from the book. just check out some of stuff in the book, "after the woman fell asleep, mikey came out, looked around and saw there were at least six women not wearing tops. he proclaimed, "i'm dead. i've gone to boob heaven." yes, "boob heaven." evidently, donald trump started writing this novel in fourth grade. but for some reason, trump pulled his name from the book right before it was published. and i don't know why. a lot of presidents published erotica, like abraham lincoln's "the tail splitter." f.d.r.'s "i'm banging my cousin, eleanor." ( laughter ) thomas jefferson's "life, liberty, and the pursuit of slave boob." and, of course, bill clinton's erotica classic, "my life."

( laughter ) not one. >> stephen: really? not one? >> no, not one... they tend to come in clusters.

( laughter ) >> stephen: hey, mel, do you think it's better to love or to be loved? >> well, i guess it depends on how tired you are. ( laughter ) he were he were stephen, if you could only bring one, just one book to a desert island, which one would it be? >> stephen: one book? >> one. >> stephen: probably "how to build a boat out of sand." mel, i can ask you a personal question? >> sure. >> stephen: if you could go

tell your younger self? >> don't be so caught up in the little things. take advantage of all the gifts the world has to offer, and live every day to the fullest. and i'd also tell myself, my younger self, to shut the ( bleep ) up. stephen. >> stephen: yeah, mel, what's up? >> if you could go back in time and meet one famous person, who would it be? >> stephen: it would probably be young mel gibson. >> you know, 35 years ago, before i got this road kill on my face, did you know i was the sexiest man alive? >> stephen: yeah, that's what i heard. i'd want to go back and see if the legends were true, yeah, yeah. think mcconaughey's sexy by the way? >> he's a seven out of 10. ( laughter ). >> stephen: who would you go back in time to meet, mel? >> probably jesus.

you'd probably want to know if he liked "the passion of the christ." >> no, i'd want to know which "lethal weapon" movie was his favorite. >> stephen: probably two, joe pesci. >> i'm saying three. >> stephen: really, no, pesci is the really the breakout star of that movie, i think. hey, mel, do you think free will exists? >> yes, that's what it says on >> stephen: we have to go to commercial. we'll be right back with mel gibson and his beard.

( laughter ) you-- you-- you had some rough patches over the last 10 years. >> yeah. rough patch. >> stephen: uh-huh. and how was that? >> eh, not my proudest moment. not my proudest moment, stephen. but 10 years having by. i worked on myself, and i'm happier and healthier than a long time and i'm fortunate. >> stephen: how are you fortunate? >> i get to do what i love to do. i get to do that. i'm grateful. i get to tell stories and i'm a catholic. and one one of the tenet of the faith i was taught is suffering is a good thing. honest to god. do you think there's any value to the suffer ago because you went through some suffering over the last 10 years, i imagine, sort of being a pariah in some circles for what you did. is there any value? did you learn anything from that? and did you become a better man in any way? >> gravel rash suffering. well, lestime on the meat rack after it's all done, right? >> stephen: i don't know what that means.

that must be-- that must be australian catholicism. what is less time in the meat rack mean? >> meat rack, in another realm. >> stephen: like purgatory. >> yeah, that's it. >> stephen: temporary suffering before we have the presence of god. >> temp poral punishment before the main course. >> stephen: was there a moment when you said,"i'm going to get through this?" >> yeah. >> stephen: what was that moment when you said, "okay, this is going to be okay. i'm going to-- people are going to accept the apology and we're >> just when i apologized, i think. and, you know, of course, you take a hiding, and that's okay. >> stephen: you say you took to hiding. >> no you take a hiding. >> stephen: oh, you tack a hiding. >> a beating. you take the shots. you try not to yell too much. you be manful about it. you don't react too much. but it's interesting. it's a moment in time. it's a bit pitty that one has to

having a nervous breakdown in the back of a police car after double tekeel as. that's what it is. this is not-- that moment shouldn't define the rest of my life. >> stephen: no, i don't believe any person-- no person-- ( applause ) >> yeah. >> stephen: no person is their worst moment. >> no. >> stephen: yeah or else i'm in huge trouble. >> well, absolutely. and, you know, the other thing, too, is there's no action i've ever-- you know, that ever supports that label they put on me. so it's just not who i am. >> stephen: do you ever look at donald trump and say, "how come i had to apologize and he might be president?" ( laughter ) ( applause ) ( cheers ) well, now, now, you know, i'm reading articles all over the place. hollywood is re-embracing mel gibson and your new film

second s. >> stephen: did you stopwatch it? >> absolutely. >> stephen: it has gotten 100% on rotten tomatoes right now. people are loving this film. it's a deeply moving, film about desmond dawz, a conscientious objector who just won't pick up a gun but is willing to serve his country. what was it about this story that appealed to you? >> well, it's so inspiring, and it's about time someone told a doesn't wear spandex. >> stephen: you did that once before with jesus. >> that's true. >> stephen: no spandex on jesus. >> i think i did it on stage. >> stephen: "jesus christ superstar?" >> that was it. >> stephen: i don't know if there's any spanned oakes that. there are a lot of high notes. he's a real superstar. >> he's a real guy who really did, you know, amazing things. he was an ordinary man doing

extremely difficult circumstances. and that's in the hell of war, in combat. and i don't see it as a war film although of although it's kind of graphic because i want to show -- >> it's very graphic. >> i want to show what our veterans go through from back in the day to right today. they go through a lot for us and they take a beating and i want the audience to empathize with that and put the audience in the fox hole. but it's a man wxi other men are reduced animals he is crawling out of their without a weapon and saving his buddy s. >> stephen: he saved 75 men in okinawa. >> and with bullet flying around his ear and he put his line on e on the line for everybody else and that's the definition of ultimate love. if he was around today, i would want him to be president. >> stephen: i'm sorry, what was that? >> if he was around today, i would want him to be president. >> stephen: neither of the

have any military service. that's interesting. it used to be something we expected of someone running for the highest office in the land because theatre commander in chief at the end of it. >> yeah, i guess so. >> stephen: you say it's a love story, and you say it's not to glorify war. do you think there's any worry, no matter how you tell the story of war, that just-- it being a movie galorifies it in some way? because what the camera points at makes it beautiful in some ways. a lot of thought goes into how to-- how to make it look good on screen, and you can't help but glorify it because it becomes entertainment. >> sure, i guess you want it to be cinematically compelling but at the same time if you just tapose who that man is and his faith, i think having it be like that sort of highlights the higher nature of the film. so it's, you know, for me it needed to be that way. that's how i tell story s. >> stephen: 75 men. all the things depicted in the film, did he really do all that? >> he did those things. in fact there were things he did

>> stephen: what do you mean? >> he did actually step on a grenade to save his buddies and he sook shrapnel, and saw a guy was to wounded, put that guy on the stretcher and said take him first, and crawled back 300 yards and got shot full of holes by snipers. it's hard to believe the amount-- and he was in the philippines before then, and he was already doing what he does over and over again. and medal of honor recipients-- and he won they'll do something in a moment, but this man very consciously did what he did over and over and over. >> stephen: and he's want only conscientious objector to receive the medal of honor? >> well, he was the first. there have been others who he inspired that have since done the same thing. >> stephen: well, we're going to take little break. we'll be back with more mel gibson. stick around. >> thank you. ? ? ?

and they pook polaroids of me and put me on the board and said come back in three weeks when you heal up. i came back and they said, "yes?" i said, "i'm here." they said, "who are you?" i said i'm that guy on the world?" and i went in and told a expwroak i got the job just like that. >> stephen: you probably smoke e more in that whole audition than the whole movie. >> probably. >> stephen: what did you think of the new "mad max" movie i sart next to george and tom hardy when we watched it in l.a., great edit. >> stephen: your film's pretty good, too. i'm not saying it's better than your film. i'm saying this film they took what the trailer is and just made it two hours long long. ( laughter ) you have another film coming up, i hear, but you probably haven't started yet, called "the resurrection." it's a sequel to "the passion of the christ." is that true? >> it's probably about three years off, because it's a big subject. >> stephen: yeah, yeah, i read the book.

i know how it ends. >> you know how it begins. >> stephen: how do you tell the story of the the resurrection, because it's-- there's not as much-- and i don't mean this to say this in a flippant way-- but there isn't action. every good friday we act out the passion. you know the story. you know the parts. you know, you're waiting for, you know, various people to come on. but how do you tell the story of the resurrection? it's a single event, and then a revelation to the people in the upper room? >> it's more than a single event. it's an azi and towrnd pin that with the things that are around it is really the story to sort of enlighten what that means. and it's not just about the event-- it's not some kind of chronological telling of just that event. that could be boring, and you think, well, we read that. >> stephen: i don't know if it would be boring. god becomes man and rises from the dead. never going to be a snoozer. >> no, no. ( laughter ) but it's predictable in that, okay, now we know what happens. and this happens and this happens ask this happens.

>> stephen: who's the bad guy? is it thomas who doubts that christ has risen? >> no. >> stephen: no bad guys? >> well, there are. >> stephen: yeah? >> they're in another realm. >> stephen: oh! another realm. >> sure. you're going all over the place. what happened in three days? >> stephen: oh, he descended into hell. rose from the dead. yeah. exactly. tore the gates off their iron hinges, exactly, that stuff. wow, so you would actually do a litt >> i'm not sure but it's worth thinking about, isn't it? get your imagination going. >> stephen: sure, i never thought of that. there's a lot of action happening off screen in the bible of jesus descending into the dead. >> sure, there's a lot happening around us right now. >> stephen: you think there are-- >> sure, i see a little white guy on this shoulder and a guy with a pitchfork on this shoulder and they're talking into your ear s. >> stephen: what do you think they're saying for me? >> i don't know, "stephen, make things difficult for mel." >> stephen: that's what the

and i just don't think anyone really believes he is actually who he says he is. he does amazing stuff, and he's got this amazing way of being, this amazing character. and so eventually, i kind of get to know him a bit better through everything he does. we run into each other on the battle field, and we have some really beautiful moments in the fox hole. >> stephen: we have a clip here that i believe is during the battle of hacksaw ridge. you have already seen action and you are stuck in a fox hole together y realization about what he's doing for other members of the troop. >> after what we've just been through, any sane man would be screaming for a weapon. >> i never claimed to be sane. my daddy's a drunk. he fought it for years, but it kind of got a hold of him hard, made him mean.

guys. >> your momma raised you. >> she gave me to an orphanage when i was five. never saw her again. i learned how to hate quick. how to judge people quicker, and i got you very wrong. ( applause ) ( cheers ) >> stephen: that's a particularly significant moment in the movie because you're the heavy, really. >> yeah. >> stephen: up until this point. >> yeah, i'm kind of the counter-weig way. >> stephen: you actually beat a man with a bible. >> i-- i take his bible and maybe beat him with the back of my hand. >> stephen: you beat a man with a bible in this movie.
