i'm your host, stephen colbert. [c my friends, i want to start off by giving you a little peek int our process here. because we do have a process. it's not like i roll out of bed head to the office, jump onstage, and suddenly perform a humorous monologue brought to you by col cologuard. "the world's going to crap. here's a box for it." no. [laughter] we spend all day working on these monologues and wth so much happening, we often look for a general organizing principle -- some sort of order and structure to help us just understand what's going on in the world. well, today's organizing principle is chaos. mute horror in the face of an infinite and arbitrary un brought to you by cologuard. c "we exist to torment the last remaining postal employees."

i'm your host, stephen colbert.ring] i just love being with you guys every day because it feels like every day we get news of a another inexplicable chaotic move seemingly bent on undermining everything we as americans hold dear. and today is no different because kfc is moving its corporate headquarters from kentucky to texas. that is finger-lickin' [bleep]. what is going on? what is happening? what's next? jersey mike's becomes maine mickey's? will papa john step down as pizza pope? burger king abdicates his throne to marry a common nugget? because kentucky fried chicken isn't just a name. it's part of kentucky history. it was founded nearly a century ago, in 1930 in corbin, kentucky. even now, if you purchase kfc somewhere that is not kentucky, legally, they have to call it "sparkling white chicken." what else? oh, up in washington, speaking of chicken, oh, up in washington, our government is getting spatchcocked by elon musk and his post-pubescent pink slip troopers. naturally, the federal workers in their path o

>> stephen: 14 years ago. >> jake: you made this up? >> stephen: he steals everything from me. horizon happened. >> jake: do you think he got it from you? >> stephen: he steals everything for me. i've got a really good legal team. all the guys from "suits" are working for me. including the guy who didn't go to law school. we're going to take another break but stick around for more jake tapper, everybody still have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis... ...or crohn's disease symptoms after taking... ...a medication like humira or remicade? put them in check with rinvoq, a once-daily pill. when symptoms tried to take control, i got rapid relief with rinvoq. check. when flares tried to slow me down,... ...i got lasting remission with rinvoq. check. and many were in remission... ...even at nearly 2 years. and rinvoq... ...helped visibly reduce damage of the intestinal lining. check. rapid symptom relief. lasting remission. and visibly reduced damage. check. rinvoq can lower ability to fight infections. before treatment, test for tb and do bloodwork. serious infections, blood clot

[applause] trump tried bragging about his tariffs that everyone hates. >> mexico and canada, have you heard of them? >> stephen: no. no, i haven't. do you mean "moox-ickee" and "canabla?" [laughter] trump gave a shout out to some of his biggest supporters. >> i love the farmer. >>

buttigieg: yeah. >> stephen: and inflation.ved he had done anything to address those things. so far. so, you know, what are the consequences of a president who promises that doesn't seem to have any plan? >> mr. buttigieg: i think disaffection, mistrust, and i think he's going to continue to slide in terms of popularity. look, there's a good chunk of people who voted for him even though they didn't like him because they thought maybe he was going to make them better off. let's remember, despite what you heard tonight, he came in with just under 50% of the vote. he won. i'm not disputing that. but the smallest popular vote margin since nixon. i wonder how he feels about something that important being that small in his case. [applause] and he has lost support from there. and he will continue to if he's not addressing our problems. >> stephen: wow. to be smaller than tricky dick gives one pause. announcing broad tariffs against mexico, canada, and china. as trump called it a little disturbance. how will it affect the average ameri

stephen was alright with it.uren herself was opposed to the death penalty. so he took it as a victory lap when the da withdrew it. and then? technology. the georgia bureau of investigation had searched stephens computers, didnt find much. but now they had new software. the da asked them to take another look. david cooke: i thought there is no way that this guy committed this kind of murder and doesnt have an internet history that would blow your mind. keith morrison (voiceover): so he asked the experts to look for anything related to lauren giddings, or sex and violence. david cooke: and when they did, it just exploded. its obvious that he has a fascination with sadistic pornography. murder, torture, dismemberment. keith morrison (voiceover): vile and yet still not proof that he murdered lauren. so, spring 2014, nothing was certain as laurens family and friends prepared to go to macon for trial. katie ohare: its like the rest of my life stopped. it was all about lauren and this trial. keith morrison (voiceover):

stephen collinson and nia-malika henderson are back.re also joined by naveed shah, an iraq war veteran and political director of the veterans group common defense. so, naveed, i want to start with you because it was a bit of a plot twist, i think, for the administration to learn 30% of the workforce, of the federal workforce they were cutting were veterans. but as you see this moving towards the va itself, do you see it as part of the privatization movement? >> absolutely. it definitely seems like what the they intend to do is cut the va bit by bit. and this has been an ongoing problem with different pieces of legislation that the republicans have passed, like the mission act and the community cares act. they've been sniping at the va and cutting it bit by bit, and now it seems like they're taking trying to take a big chunk out of it. >> but they don't call it sniping. right. they're saying make it more efficient or i think pete hegseth said something like, let the dollars follow the veterans. they take the money and go where they need

so that's where people like. >> stephen and katie. ears. >> and guides to washington. and i think, well, i. >> had a. >> couple trump people in that story tell me. >> we're cool with elon. taking more of. >> that heat. >> he's a little more. >> telegenic, and he drives attention in a much better way. >> negative attention. >> but still attention. compared to maybe a less telegenic and smooth presenting stephen miller. >> yeah, that's actually a great point. and stephen miller is someone who's been in the trump orbit for so many years now. certainly when i was covering. trump back in 2015 and 2016, every day, stephen miller was one of the early staffers that came into that orbit. i wonder if we're just circling back to where we began the. show on the joint address, what headlines stood. >> out to. >> you, and where do you think they. >> take. this next. >> as jd. >> vance and others. >> are going to kind of take the show on the road, as is typically done after these sorts of addresses? >> the first part of it felt a lot. >> like kind o

stephen engle has been on the ground covering all of this.ing us now from the media center in beijing where the press conference will take place. what are you expecting to hear? >> well we have top economic leaders in attendance. the commerce ministry, because that could be -- that could be interesting because those are the ones that imposed retaliatory tariffs on the trump terrace. the central bank governor is here as well, and it is just going to be our one opportunity each year to hear directly from them. last year that talked about belt-tightening and more belt-tightening. this year we will probably talk about how we will reach of the fairly ambitious growth target of around i percent -- 5 percent. that is what they set last year but they did not have a trump trade were going on. many economists i have heard from say it is going to be a tough task to meet that target a given the external shocks and that there could be more stimulus needed throughout the year. tom: on that point, given to people you have been speaking to and hearing from i

corporate funding is provided by stephens inc. - kevin hassett, welcome to "firing line." - oh, it's great to be here. - you're an economist and fellow at the hoover institution, where i serve on the board of overseers. and you were the senior advisor to the president and chairman of the council of economic advisers, one of the top economic positions from the donald trump white house. now, let's talk about president trump's economic policies. you're close with president trump. you served with him in the white house. should he win a second term, trump is proposing blanket tariffs, 10 or even 20% of all imports and up to 60% on chinese goods. vice president harris says this is essentially a national sales tax. if trump wins and puts tariffs like that in place, what would the effect be on the average american consumer? - first of all, just remember that president trump proposes a lot of things. you know, big supply side tax cuts, reduced government spending, deregulation, tariffs. if you look at one in isolation, then you're not nece

maybe stephen a but he needs to find a new issue such. it from the ashes of. >> let me ask you a question. when you think about the old democratic party, john f. kennedy, what did they run on? they ran on no war, i did not want the war, he ran on it not a fan of what was going on with the fed he was not a fan of that. they ran on certain issues may be later on the pro-choice what wanted to do with their personal life but what is the policies they represent today? i don't know what their policies are today. is it just lgbtq? is it just climate change? what are their policies. adam for many years was a registered democrat. first time in his life he has voted for republican president president donald trump. he has never done that 44 years old. you got a letter from the democratic party asking him what do you think about this and what you think about that? what are the top issues for you with trump? what scares you the most. they are really trying to figure they don't know what they want. they don't know what is resonating. they have to run f

you know, when you have stephen miller out there writing, they're doing these type of lawsuits.eresting that the administration talks about lawfare, where the weaponization, you know, of the legal system when they're weaponizing the legal system, the legal system, you know, every accusation is a confession. and i think what you're seeing right now with stephen miller, he's definitely acting within orders of the white house. it is an inside out strategy. and i think, again, the american people need to look at this and say, is this really what we want our government doing? is there an integrity in this process? what are we talking about with law? but, you know, stephen miller doesn't have the greatest background either. i know a lot about him. and i think when you have this somebody this vapid and somebody that's this absolutely the most incoherent in their strategy, somebody who seems to lean towards the white nationalist side. i think people need to stand up and say, hey, we don't want a group like this coming here and telling us who we can hire, who we can't hire, and a governm

all right, stephen, you first. do you think senate democrats are willing to shut down the government over this, or is this a, you know, kind of a tough stance, a negotiating tactic in order to get republicans to the table and make some adjustments? >> yeah. well, look, the. >> time to get to the table and make adjustments is almost gone, right? i mean, we have until the end of this upcoming week to get this done. i will say that the commitment to keeping the government open, that we've heard publicly from senate minority leader chuck schumer, that is a commitment that he's held privately. he does believe that a shutdown does not help the party. it's not good politics. they shouldn't talk about wanting a shutdown. and there are, i think, a number of senate democrats who at this point, if this bill were to make it over from the house, would support the measure. the question is, is if they can get to seven, eight, nine democrats that republicans may need, you're going to lose the vote of rand paul, most likely in the

cnn's jeff zeleny, ayesha rascoe of npr, cnn's kayla tausche, and cnn's stephen collinson. hello, everybody. um, i just want to pick up where vanessa just left off. i mean, there were so many data points that really do hit home the impact of these tariffs. uh, $1,200 a year, for example, is one estimate that is going to be the increase in prices for the average consumer. this is what donald trump ran on, on making the crisis of affordability better. so far it ain't happening. >> without question. and even if this was, you know, this is not happening in a vacuum. i mean, even if it was just this, it would be significant for prices. but it's not i mean, high prices on goods are already one of the central challenges of the administration. that was yesterday. never mind today, not just eggs and other things, but there is a sense of of consumer confidence has been shaky. and this is only adding to that fact. the president talks a lot, and i expect we'll hear him tonight talking again about all the battleground states he won. he talks about wisconsin. he talks about michigan. he

. >>> white house deputy chief of staff stephen miller.phen, that you have any clue what that zelenskyy was going to come in hot like this? >> i don't think anybody had any idea zelenskyy would be so impertinent, so disrespectful, so insulting to the united states of america but this is one of the great moments in the history of american diplomacy. the way that president trump and j.d. vance stood up for american interest on the world stage, the way that president trump befriended americans after years of being fleeced and abused and taken advantage of and taken for granted millions of american hearts swelled with overflowing pride today to watch president trump put zelenskyy in his place. the only reason that zelenskyy has a country, that zelenskyy is in power is because of the united states. americans have suffered economically funding this worn-out four years. american security has been integrated. or stockpiles depleted, our ability to project power in other regions of the world negatively affected. to protect and defend ukraine are. a

and then we had stephen siegel was -- seagal was part of that prosecution, he was part of the extortion and there was one count against gotti and the gang claiming they extorted peter stegall -- stephen stegall and he testified in court. when he testified in court, it was really like being in hollywood. they all came to hear him testify. so it was kind of a dramatic trial and is an example of the extension of the john gotti trial and basically the convictions in that case really served pretty much of a deathknell to the mafioso, as it was known in those days. peter: what were you doing prior to 1994 when you were nominated by bill clinton to be a district judge? judge block: i was practicing law in suffolk county. the ed ny includes suffolk county. the primary geographical aspect of the ed ny is brooklyn but nonetheless, suffolk and nassau are part of the ed ny so i was practicing law way out east in suffolk county. i can go into at all, but ultimately i w tapped by senator moynihan, the senators recommend the judges to the president so it really comes from senatorial recommendations, w

stephen engle on the ground for us in the forbidden city. president trump's tariff threats and china sluggish growth way on investors. green in the asian session so far today. we discussed next how they are positioning around the growth target and tariff risk. an ai startup raising $3.5 billion in a fresh fundraising round. very pete -- pleased to be speaking to the cofounder on the show later this hour. this is bloomberg. ♪ tom: stockmarket staging a relief rally after the u.s., secretary said the trump administration may lock back some tariffs. china meanwhile has said its growth target for this year, spurring bets of more stimulus. let's bring in the managing director and chief china equity strategist at morgan stanley. thank you so much for your time. your reaction to the targets being set out of beijing on growth, your expectations about stimulus, how does any of this change your view on the chinese equity story? >> thank you very much. i think the target settings are perfectly in line with what we were expecting coming into the meeting

stephen colbert was only funny when he was pretending to be a conservative.l used to be funny when he was watching women with big boobs jump on trampolines and i don't know who neutered him but now he is crying win his really old decrepit, almost and bald guy loses the election. i can't believe i'm having to say this but donald trump is going to be president. and it is like to your point i almost think now that every president should have a gap term. >> greg: yes! i think you need to know what it was. i think when things go well you forget like for example giuliani bloomberg a great time it got so good we forgot how bad new york could be so we brought into blase. this is the cycle. >> oh, god. [applause] >> greg: like things are going great at? that screw it up. that is what we do with biden. we had to find ourselves in the face. to learn to love a gander. >> every person who breaks up like you were going to miss me when i'm gone and most people like note moving on to the eighth end. and then the people are like trump he was a great kisser. >> greg: i would n

that's pippa stephens. we just saw so bitcoin's down a bunch. yeah tesla was up initially rolled over i think when we were on halftime. you pointed that out. so a lot of these points these pressure points on the market just won't cease. >> yeah. and ultimately that builds into this scenario where people have surrendered and they feel like there's no obvious place to hide. and the market's going to we're going to wake up tomorrow and people are going to say s&p finally looking oversold. it wasn't fully a washout because you actually still have the equal-weight outperforming and you don't have 90% of volume to the downside. but you're kind of within hailing distance of a 200 day moving average test, again down 5% from the highs. it's been a pretty good reset of prices and psychology so far. so again, it leaves you open to this idea. if you get a reassuring jobs report on friday, if we get the details of canada and mexico tariffs, and it's not the bluntest instrument of 25% on everything, you know, there might be room a little bit for a little reli

let's find out joining me now our panel a columnist for the free press and stephen moore is the cofounderelcome. thank you so much for being h here. when i see the trigger 50% tariff on u.s. dairy goods from canada is pretty easy to see the president's point on this but we have seen market upset what is your perspective on the way forward. >> use the word complicated. that's exactly what it's been over the last week one day tariffs will go up then a delay in the tariffs and then a tariff in another country and it's been up and down and up and down. by the way the stock market went up and down with these things. the president of incense on tariffs is misguided and we have a very wobbly economy we saw a not very good jobs report on friday the consumer confidence numbers are sinking and other indicators are not positive. the economy needs a pick me up and tariffs are not a pick me up. what is the trump tax cut congress has to get this passed as soon as possible. on memorial day that will provide the stimulus the economy needs. katie: if they don't get the cuts going to be a tax hike for ever

. >> we will take the next question from stephen pfeiffer. >> thanks general for the discussion here. stephen pfeiffer affiliated with stanford university and a former american human ambassador to ukraine . you talked about carrots and sticks. it does seem like the united states is applying some heavy sticks against ukraine with the cut off of you telogen's intelligence and suspension of arms but can you talk about the sticks you're applying on russia because publicly the russians seem to be the most more recalcitrant party with very inflexible negotiating position . you mentioned sanctions on shadow tankers, as the trump administration sanctioned additional tankers, you said something about freezing assets, or we now looking to seize their assets but one of the sticks are trying to apply on moscow to get russia to become more accommodating because right now it looks like we're putting pressure on the ukrainians but not on the russians. >> thanks for the question and i challenge you with this. it's almost binary, it's a question with a binary answer. do we have a term sheet from the r
