bob belcher from bob's burgers. this father's day, rbe super hot tv dads. >> and here's something to help you remember. >> stephen: let me join you there. >> please. >> stephen: daddy's been bad! >> happy father's day. ( cheers and applause ) >> it's "the late show with stephen colbert." tonight, stephen welcomes scarlett johansson. bill burr. and musical guest fleet foxes. 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: hey! that's right, that's right! that's nice. that's crisp. that's crisp. thanks, everybody! thank you so much. welcome to "the late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. and it is-- it is friday. ( cheers and applause ) once again we have made it through the week to friday. you can feel the friday vibe in the crowd. it is unmistakable. these are people ready to cut loose right here, cut footloose. , of course, big news this week is that special counsel robert mueller is investigating donald trump for obstruction of justice. ( cheers and applause ) it's a friday crowd. that's a friday crowd right but trump's got a plan. there. i think he's going to be the first person ever to settle his presidency out of court. ( laughter ) and as always, donald trump-- he's a fighter, you know, he's a street fighter. he punches back. he's fighting back on twitter. yesterday he tweeted: i don't know. maybe because those people are the nonpresident. "everybody else gets to hang out with russia! i hate you. you're not my real special prosecutor. i'm going to my room!" ( applause ) ( cheers and applause ) and while we've all been following the investigation, senate republicans have very quietly been hard at work this week on their plan to repeal obamacare. what's in it? who knows? ( laughter ) all we've found out so far is their foolproof plan for getting it passed-- keeping their health care bill secret. yes, somehow, your health insurance is the one piece of classified information that no one has leaked yet. ( cheers and applause ) yes, yes, yes. yes, it is so secret, the senate health care bill is so very secret, it's like-- it's like the health care bill is the next secret of "game of thrones," and yet somehow more people will die. and they have-- i'm talking about you people, because you won't have health care. ( laughter ) and senator john cornyn of texas had a cute analogy for the secret health care bill, saying, "it's like having a baby. it's not here yet, but it's coming." ( laughter ) and this how john cornyn thinks babies are made? "darlin', what do you say we pop a bottle of wine and enter a secret committee overseen by mitch mcconnell, if you know what i mean." and this secret baby must be a real monster, because even republican senators are unaware of the health care details. so they're voting for something they've never seen. it's like "the dating game." "healthcare bill number 1: if you were a bird, would you cover pre-existing conditions?" "not on the first date." ♪ ♪ ( laughter ) ( applause ) you can't really blame them. this is a very delicate negotiation. if the bill is too harsh, they'll lose moderates like maine senator susan collins. but if the bill is too generous, they'll lose fiscal conservatives like ohio senator chuck reaper. ( laughter healthcare bill, and he told them he was glad they were working on it, because the house bill that passed last month was "mean, mean, mean." careful, sir. you say "mean" three times into a mirror, and steve bannon appears behind you. ( laughter ) ( applause ) that's kind of crazy for the president of the united states to say that about the house bill because if you remember the day-- the second the house bill passed, trump invited all the republican congressmen to the white house for a party. i haven't seen that many happy white men in suits since the memorial day sale at joseph a. bank. quality products. and here's what trump said back then: >> but we have an amazing group of people standing behind me. they worked so hard, and they worked so long. and when i said, let's do this. let's go out-- just short, little shots for each one of us, and let's say how good this plan is. >> stephen: "i'll go first! it's mean, mean, mean. you remember that a couple of weeks ago president donald trump withdrew the u.s. from the paris climate agreement. >> audience: booo! >> jon: we don't want that. >> stephen: i agree. this is bad news for just about this is bad news for the residents of tangier, virginia, a small island in the chesapeake bay, which, due to rising sea levels, is losing roughly 15 feet of coastline per year. that's shrinking pretty fast. that water must be pretty cold. >> jon: i like the cut. >> stephen: thank you, jim. cnn recently did a report on tangier that showcased the concerns of the small fishing town's 450 residents. and it appearsha piece of fake news that actually resonated with our president, because this week, trump called the mayor of tangier and told him not to worry about his rapidly-disappearing island. and trump's speaking from his own experience. i mean, he's watched a lot of his businesses go under. ( applause ) a lot of bankrupt casino fans here tonight. according to tangier mayor james "ooker" eskridge, trump told him, "your island has been there for hundreds of years, and i believe your island will be there for hundreds more." yes, if something is there, it's never going away, unless trump meets a younger, hotter one. ( applause ) island! island! a younger, hotter-- hotter, like hotter, island. now, in the unlikely event that trump's words didn't calm lost city of tangier, their mayor believes there is a solution to coastal erosion. they need a jetty, or perhaps even a sea wall, around the entire island, and that trump will cut through red tape and get them that wall. yes, trump is going to get them that wall, and make the ocean pay for it. we've got a great show for you tonight. scarlett johansson is here! but when we return, i'll tell you about this year's best father's day cards and their not-so-best first drafts. stick around! liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night. hold on dad... liberty did what? yeah, liberty mutual 24-hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. is this a lug wrench? maybe? you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. text "blades" to gillette on demand noo text to reorder blades... ...and get $3 off your first order with gillette on demand. we, the tv loving people, roooooaaar!!! want our whole house to be filled with entertainment. easy boy! but we don't want annual contracts and hardware. you scoundrel! we just want to stream live tv. and we want it for 10 dollars a month. it's a very big house. yeah, mine too. look at us. just two bros with sick houses. high five. directv now. a big streaming deal for $10 a month. it's entertainment your way. ♪ ( band playing ) ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: welcome back, everybody. everybody. give it up for the band right there, right there!
