>> stephen: this december?e-- the first time in 35 years. >> in 35 years you. >> stephen: have not hosted in 35 years. >> i have not been back there in 35 years. ( applause ) >>> stephen: we-- we have that in common. >> you haven't been back. >> stephen: i have not hosted in 35 years. can we expect some of your old characters. are we going to see gumby or buckwheat? >> i would imagine. >> stephen: mr. "robinson's neighborhood." do you miss-- do you miss-- do you ever do any of these voices on your own? do you just break them out. >> i don't mis, no, but i'm looking forward to going back and doing that stuff. i hope it's funny. no, you you want the show to be-- to be really funny if you go back, and you want it to really be good. so i'm looking forward to it. >> stephen: yeah. ( laughter ) that will be another bit of advice to give your 19-year-old self. you want the show to be really funny. >> no, he wanted stuff to be funny all the time, too. i always, you know, wanted to be funny, as funny as it can be. "s.n.

stephen, shhhh!en't asked you anything yet. >> i know, and your facts are all wrong. so shhh! so shhhhush it! zip it! and ask me a question. >> stephen: okay. mr. mayor, how do you respond to critics who say that you were traveling the world pushing debunked conspiracies as part of a scheme to help the president's re-election? >> that's ridiculous, stephen. i was simply bringing the american people the truth about the bidens! and that's not all. ( laughter ) i now have reason to believe that the 2016 election was not hacked by the russians. it was hacked by hunter biden, who is actually a "men in black" style alien, being operated by a tiny hillary clinton in his neck. ( laughter ) ( applause ) >> stephen: okay. wow. that's a bold assertion. that is-- that is. sir, that's a bold assertion. do you have any proof of that? >> not yet. or ever. ( laughter ) i'm not falling into the proof trap! >> stephen: well... what exactly were you doing with ambassador sondland and rick perry? >> when you're solving

>> stephen: i don't know.ls. >> stephen: does anybody call you thomas or is it strictly professional? >> people call me all the varieties of thomas and tom. >> stephen: to your family what are you? >> tom. "hello, tom." >> stephen: are you english? >> i'm not, but they are. my impressions of my father eye have about only a couple of things i can get right. one, when he's mad. he'll be like trying to get photo, and he'll just say like, "put on a proper smile, tom!" because i'll be like... you know? ( laughter ) and then -- >> stephen: what's the other. >> when i haven't done that, he'll just say "oh, sod it!" and the last one is, "hands off your penis, tom!" ( laughter ) and that's not a jeek. >> stephen: you're like, "i'm trying to give you a proper smile." yeah. ( laughter ) ( applause ) ( cheers ) >> well done, colbert! >> stephen: sixth and final season of "silicon valley." here we are. you guys have already-- you already finished, right? you finished the damn thing. >> we shot the damn thing. >> stephen: w

>> yeah, yeah. >> stephen: no, no. >> yeah. >> stephen: no. no. >> yeah. >> stephen: why?ese guys are called "yes theory." i've been on social media, and i'm really loving social media, and i got challenged. they say, "will smith, we challenge you to bungee jumping." me, i got challenged. i'm like, "i ain't scared. i ain't scared." i not only-- i'll call your bungee jump and we'll do it over the grand canyon! and i was like, yeah. i towed them. and then, like, the date came. ( laughter ) i was like, "oh, no." i was like-- it actually was-- was probably the scariest thing i've done in, like, 25 years. the-- i wanted to not know anything, right. i wanted to do it and i wanted to do it live. so i didn't do rehearsals, anything like that. >> stephen: you had never bungee jumped before? >> i had never bungee jumped. i wanted to go and let it happen. and i walked out there and got on the helicopter and i thought i was gog get in. and they said, "no, no, you can't get in. you have to stand on the outside when it takes off." that was the first thing. i should have called it then.

>> no. >> stephen: never? hm-um. >> stephen: did you whenever it was on? >> no. >> stephen: why?we would watch it together and that was really fun, but, no, i tend not to do that. >> stephen: ever, do you watch your movies or anything like that? i'm curious. >> no. >> stephen: you've never watched one of your movies? >> if i had been in ""shawshank" redemption" i would watch that because i always watch "shawshank" redemption when it's on. >> stephen: would you like to see it with me because i've never seen it. >> you're kidding me! >> stephen: no, never seen ""shawshank"." i don't know why. i want to see it with the right guy. ( laughter ) that would be fun. i want to see it with you and me and morgan freeman and tim robbins and go, this is pretty good! >> what were you guys thinkg when you shot this scene? ( laughter ) no, i don't tend to watch -- >> stephen: me with the kids? no, ehear from car. >> stephen: have you been in things your kids don't know you're in, like you have been a voice in something and you go, that's actually me. >> no, i'm really specific that they know eve

>> stephen: "good boy?"nt gets caught up in a scandal. >> and it has something to do with kibble. >> stephen: somebody sprinkles kibble on his crotch, and he's caught licking himself. >himself. >> i thought it was a ukrainian kibble that was brought in, and he want aid treat for this for that. there was a whole thing like i'll do something for you, if you give me a treat. ( laughter ). >> stephen: it's very timely. it's very timely. >> it's like it's ripped from the homicide s. >> stephen: and when he ran for president, when asked about, you know, licking himself-- >> locker room stuff. >> stephen: it is locker room stuff. he paraphrased obama and said, "yes, i can." ( laughter ) coming up-- coming up: "sixth sensei" ( laughter ) >> "i see dead people teach meeg karate." now i would have gone "i kicked dead people." >> stephen: who teach mekate? >> well, he's kicking dead people. >> stephen: and now this is-- i play a student. it's a cross of the "karate kid" and "sixth sense." and i am a young man, a boy--

>> stephen: there you go. he kept insisting that his phone call was perfect, and that the document that proves he's guilty doesn't say what we all see that it says. >> i had a transcript done by very, very talented people, word for word. comma for comma. done by people that do it for a living. we had an exact transcript. >> stephen: okay, let's take a look at this exact transcript and see what the talented people wrote. right on the first page it says, "not a verbatim transcript of the discussion." ( cheers and applause ) that's right-- it's right there. it says that right on the first page. mr. president, is it possible that you can't read? ( laughter ) because i've got bad news for you: the american people can. though, it would explain why your signature looks like a lie detector test. ( laughter ) ( applause ) that you failed. trump talked about how hard this impeachment inquiry has been on him as a president, the most powerful victim in the world. >> we had the mueller collusion delusion, okay. that went o

was. >> stephen: i suppose so. >> yeah. >> stephen: you still are. >> i think in my heart. >> stephenl stories from your life, the life of you and your husband. >> yeah, it's definitely based, a lot of the stories, especially season one and two. and then other writers and i we tried to base it on reality of, you know, kids and parents and aging parents and that kind of stuff. >> stephen: uh-huh. >> i recently actually found out something-- you know you've been together with your wife for how long? >> stephen: 26 years. >> okay, very long time. that's amazing ( applause ). >> stephen: doesn't seem like it. doesn't seem like it, darling. ( laughter ) >> barf. >> stephen: that's how you keep it fresh. that's how you keep it fresh. >> that's how you keep it fresh, lookinlooking into the camera ad patronizing kissing your wife? all right, okay. that's cute. that's cute. that was cute. >> stephen: thank you very much. >> i found out something recently-- after you've been in a marriage that long, it's rare to find something new out about your husband. >> stephen: this is true. >> and recentl

>> stephen: yes! crab cakes! >> stephen: i knew it! really?in the tub. >> they were pre-made. pre-made crab cakes. where i live, there's a really good seafood store. but i also got oysters and crabs and roasted carrots with a miso glaze. >> oh, my goodness! ( audience reacts ) >> stephen: thank you! thank you! >> why? >> stephen: it was sunday night and i like to cook on sundays. as you know, i am not a good cook. >> now, now, stephen... >> stephen: you and your brother used to make fun of things you heard my cooking. >> we would hear what you made and i would call david and make fun of you. >> stephen: and i love you, still even though you did that. >> there were a lot of ideas. the ingredients in there didn't go together a lot of times. but are you still making your shrimp paste? >> stephen: i do. has it improved? >> stephen: snow, it's very good to begin with. my shrimp paste is a -- ( laughter ) >> live bait, that's what it smelled like. okay. i'm going to mention some trigger words and you tell me -- >> stephen: trigger words? trigger wor

so i just really care about my book right now, stephen. >> stephen: really? >> yeah.'t think that's in any way-- that's not selfish in any way, that the president of the united states might be pressuring other countries-- >> and you think i'm being selfish? you know this guy has been doing this. listen, you know what? you can run, take this ball with you, and run with it. i run with this ball every day, and tonight i don't care. tonight, i wrote a great book. i did! and let me-- let me-- >> stephen: whoopi, whoopi, don't get me wrong. we're going to talk about the book. there's no fear. ( laughter ) >> yes! >> stephen: but you do have opinions about this cat sometimes. >> but i have to do this tomorrow, man. i do this all day long. >> stephen: i have to do this tomorrow, too! ( laughter ) >> i know, i know. >> stephen: and right now, i'd like someone on the show to have an opinion. >> but you know what? what's your opinion? >> stephen: i mean, i can give you my opinion. don't you watch the show? >> no! >> stephen: you don't watch-- what were you watching backstage? >>

thank you, stephen. >> stephen: you have the new book, "home work." >> yes. >> stephen: and in it you'ren about the role that therapy has played in your life. >> yeah. >> stephen: when did you first start going to therapy? >> oh, sadly, i separated from my lovely first husband and separations were always inevitable, and the marriage was over, and my head was so full of clutter and garbage, and i thought -- believe it or not, it was mike nichols who really tipped me into wanting to go to therapy, because he had been -- i don't think he'd mind me saying that now -- and he was so sane and funny and clear. he had a clarity that i admired so much, and i wanted that for myself and i didn't feel i'd had it. so i went and got into it and it saved my life in a way. >> stephen: why did you want to share that? why was that important for you? >> the truth is, stephen, why not, if it helps anybody else have the same idea? ( cheers and applause ) yeah, and these days, there's no harm in sharing it. i think everybody knows the great work it can do, and anybody that is lucky enough to have it, afford it

>> stephen: it's not. the population of the villages is perfect for trump: the median age is nearly 71. or as trump calls them: "the youth vote." ( laughter ) they love him down there. in fact, trump was treated to a golf cart parade. ( laughter ) the only thing whiter than a golf cart parade would be a mayonnaise water slide. ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) >> jon: whee! la-la! ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: today's visit was a fun distraction for trump. because the villages has it all: swimming pools, golf courses, themed town squares. in fact, the complex is, "sometimes likened to an adult disney world." and they mean "adult." because the community is regarded as ground zero for geriatrics who are seriously getting it on. ( laughter ) in fact, a local gynecologist reported that "she treated more cases of herpes and human papilloma-virus at the villages than she did when she worked in miami." in miami! ( cheers and applause ) in miami, where, at the nice hotels, you can order chlamydia from roo

>> stephen: thank you.nk you. ( applause ) >> stephen: today trump announced a new trade deal with japan. and he started by thanking the folks who worked on it. >> i would particularly like to recognize zippy! zippy duvall. he's been with us from the beginning. zippy? zippy? where is my zippy? ( laughter ) now maybe there's somebody named zippy duval, but it really sounds as if trump has gotten so unpopular that he's just making up the names of supporters? (as trump) "zippy duvall? blippity-blop von donglestein? mr. podium q. microphone?" ( laughter ) no, he was very -- ( piano riff ) -- very proud of all the american products we'll be selling in japan. >> 126 million japanese consumers will have greater access to high-quality american almonds, blueberries, corn wine, poultry and egg products, beef, pork, wheat and so much more! >> stephen: always exciting when trump's trade deals match his restaurant orders. ( laughter ) (as trump) "i'll have the almonds, blueberries, corn, poultry and egg products, beef,

( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: whoo! >> jon: whoo! >> stephen: whoo! jon, !t there's a lot ot tab some days s o mu to talk about we have to do two monologues, so welcome to monologue number two. now, in the first part of the monologue, i caught you up on donald trump's latest impeachment problems, but congressional democrats aren't the only ones trying to get him out of the oval office. there's also an election next year. and i will update you on that in tonight's "doin' it donkey style." >> protect the whistleblower! >> stephen: or words to that effect. ( applause ) folks, we learned something new and disturbing about minnesota senator amy klobuchar, seen here both denying it and supplying it. ( laughter )r revealed that shee killed a duck while playing golf. wasn't even an accident. she just wanted to feel something. ( laughter ) here's-- we make this stuff up. here's how klobuchar tells it: >> i did one time try to play golf, but i misfired on the first try and the ball hit a duck in the head, and it, yeah, it appeared-- it appeared to perish. ( laughter )

>> stephen: happy thursday. happy live day. >> audience: stephen! stephen! stephen! stephen! >> stephen: feel it! feel it, baby! ( cheers and applause ) nice, gorgeous. thank you, my friends, down here, up there. what's going on? thanks, everybody. hi, chris. ladies and gentlemen, so nice. it's electric, jon. it's electric. >> jon: it's electric in here. >> stephen: welcome, one and wel. ladind gentlemen, everybody out there watching, everybody in here, down there, up there, welcome to "the late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. and we are coming to you live right now-- ( cheers and applause ) we couldn't-- legally, we couldn't put that up in if wasn't true-- after the third democratic presidential debate. tonight's debate was a big step forward in the primary, because it narrowed democrats down to the top 10. ( laughter ) which means we're this close to the fantasy suites! ( laughter ) and we got some never-before- seen match-ups between the heavyweights. tonight was the first time biden and warren shared the debate stage. and the fireworks started early. before the deb

>> stephen: well... i liked it. ( laughter ) that metaphor says a lot about trump's impeachment strategy, because cake isn't the kind of thing you can improvise. when you make a cake, you need a very specific plan. that's why the back of the betty crocker box doesn't say, "step one: heat oven to, i don't know, 200 maybe? step two: mix eggs, and i think, powder. is this where the sprinkles go? definitely baking soda. we're baking. step three: cook until cake." so-- ( cheers and applause ) mmmm! mmmm! >> jon: give me that cake! that old betty crocker. >> stephen: so, trump is struggling to find a coherent defense against his impeachment. but on the other hand, so is every other republican. take florida senator and hypnotized cobra, rick scott. ( laughter ) when senator scott was asked about the ukraine call, he answered, "what i saw, he asked him to look into something. but i-- i'm new." really really? you were the governor of florida. i'm new? so this is how the g.o.p. is going to respond now? "i'm new. j

>> stephen: actual name. it was even more successful than last year's event for the prime minister of israel, the first annual netan-yee-haw! ( laughter ) netan-yee-haw! ( cheers and applause ) ( piano riff ) ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) for the president, his speech to the u.n. general assembly. always a big deal. last year, he set a very high bar. if you'll recall, his words brought joy to the whole world. >> in less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. america's-- so true. ( laughter ) didn't expect that reaction, but that's okay. ( laughter ) >> stephen: now, mr. president, i want to assure you that they weren't laughing at you. ( laughter ) it's the u.n., they werengi" "c un imbÉcile magnifique! tres grand! ( cheers and applause ) ( piano riff ) now, we don't know what trump's going to say tomorrow, but last week, he gave us a little bit of a preview. now, before i tell you what he said, keep in mind he was talking t

>> stephen: thank you.t-- why don't we just-- ( cheers and applause ) why don't we just quit now and do a selfie line? we can have some fun. >> stephen: we don't have four hours, ma'am. >> oh, okay. >> stephen: please, have a seat. >> it's so good to see you. >> stephen: good to see you, too. and i was saying backstage, that rally last night, 20,000 people, your biggest rally so far. >> yup. ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: and i understand-- i understand that you did do a very long selfie line afterwards. >> we did. >> stephen: how many selfies is too many? how many-- do you have any idea how many you did? >> i have no idea how many we did. 20,000 people, it seemed like about 26,000 stayed for selfies. >> stephen: by the way, i'm so sorry that we only have 450 people here tonight. thank you for slumming here at the ed sullivan. >> you know, the selfies are the most fun about this. and it truly is the case because it means you get the person-to- person about this. and it means for every single person who

. >> stephen: wow.it supposed to be there, or did they just come take it? >> we went there on a big-- you know, we presented -- >> stephen: that's nice. your crossbow is part of the national treasure. >> it's right next door to rocky balboa's gloves and hisstlion r. >>phenongratulations. immoritalt there. that's extraordinary. dorthat's' slippers. you're only one of the two characters alive from the original series. how does it feel to be a survivor? >> like norman and darrell, i have the ghost of these characters and people they met they started the show with. so as my character has progressed, i find myself, norman, on set with, you know, on-set behavior. and daryl trying to make decision think, "what would rick do? what would herschel do?" so i sort of carry the weight of them with me i think you know. >> stephen: great to see you again. >> it's a pleasure. >> stephen: "the walking dead" airs sundays on amc. norman reedus, everybody! we'll be right back with emmy, grammy, and tony-winning actress cyn

>> no. >> stephen: because it's not that easy to collaborate. >> stephen -- >> stephen: we could haveasking me this question. >> and this is one of my favorite topics. >> stephen: okay. and i'm sure i will get my comeuppance when my children make fun of me some day. >> stephen: okay. o i knew my mother still wrote longhand, but i didn't know what that would mean for our process until i got truly photographed copies of pages that my mother had written longhand to show whsh was on her progress, and i would have e-mailed her like word documents, things flagged i wanted her to lookt, and she couldn't figure out how to open the comment boxes. >> stephen: you only work longhand like this? >> and google docs are her friend if he would only -- >> oh, my gosh! ( applause ) >> all right, in my defense -- where's rudy giuliani when i need him? ( laughter ) in my defense, look, computers and everything are fine, but for writing a book, i mean, for me, because of the way i came up doing it, i just need to have that pen between my fingers and make all the arrows and turn the page over and do all of

stephen: come on. >> that has happened.man pilot has financial -- had psychiatric problem and crashed the plane against a mountain and all passengers killed. they explained to me the safety warrants. stephen: is it a threat for other companies that they have to police what people are posting on the internet? >> i have been told american companies do the same thing, facebook has shut down some of our accounts which seem to be too extreme. all governments set down some rules. >> those who are happy to do business in mainland china will do business in hong kong. but if you treat hong kong differently because it is international, then those people must be having second thoughts now. this is such an awful example of the international community. >> i think it is a serious threat. once beijing or the government is seen to be introducing political considerations into what should be purely a commercial activity and decisions, and furthermore affecting the behavior of the staff, even during their spare time, then confidence in hong k

stephen: okay.announced that you are running for president-- spoiler alert. and you're still pretty darn popular. >> well, i guess they don't know me yet. i don't know. >> stephen: how-- this is the-- this is the third time that you're running for president. you're the front-runner. what have you learned from your two previous-- pardon my accuracy-- unsuccessful campaigns for president? what are you doing differently this time, sir? >> well, a couple of things. pointing out that-- look, my dad used to have an expression. he said, "joey don't compare me to the almighty. compare me to the alternative." and the alternative is -- >> stephen: when-- when did your dad say that? i want to know when he gave you that advice? >> he gave me that advice a long-- look, all kidding aside. i'm in a situation where i hadn't-- you and i talked about this on one of the previous shows i was on, when my son was going through some tough times, and after he passed. and you said i should run. and that's why i'm running. i

>> stephen: exactly. >> what a wonderful thing. >> stephen: get used to it, gellman. >> i will. >> stephen whole deal. >> yeah, editor. >> stephen: your character, martin, in "flea bag" is not a likable guy. >> no. >> stephen: he has a terrible personality, as he says. but it's not his fault. your character in "stranger things" became lovable but was crazy to start off with, irascible. do fans expect you to be-- do they love you for being a terrible person? >> it's very weird. it's always a very long experience, because i'll be out, and then somebody will come up to me and they'll be like, "oh, i hate you! i mean, i love you. i love your acting. but because i love your acting, i hate you. but i love to hate you. but, you know, for that i kind of hate you because, you know, you kind of make me hate myself a little bit because i see some of myself in you. but i love you, and i hate that about you, but i love that about your acting." and that's-- that's like -- >> stephen: that's very complex. yeah. >> this little-- little dance we do, yeah. >> stephen: what did you think of the part of marti

i didn't know who stephen miller was athat moment. i said, "who's miller?"e said, he said, "i don'to get into it." >> narrator: at the white house, they knew who stephen miller was. and a faction there want to keep him as far away from the president as possible. ad >> youhe, the bannon/miller/sessions faction, and then you had the the gary cohns, jared kushner, ivanka trump, reince priebus, and others >> we had the two camps start to develop- the moret establishmmp, and more the kind of disrupters, populist, nationalist campmp and then everything eventually became a knife fight shortly thereafter. >> narrator: after the travel-ban backlash, bannon'str stack of harsh execucuve orders was put on hold. his opponents in the west wingpo were gaining ground with the president. >> why he surrounded houlf by people actively opposed to his agenda-- why he did that, who knows? who knows? he has surrounded himself with people who disagree with him. why did he hire his kids? could be narcissism- "they love me for me!" who know >> you're supposed to really push hard the

please, stephen, stephen... no, i would really like you... let me talk!d your movement... the thing is, this might be hardtalk, 0k? but trying to talk to the spanish government is not even "hard talk", it's hard without the talking, because they don't want to talk. so there you can see a huge historical mistake because if they resort to repression, to cracking down on the people when they're in the act of voting, when they resort to putting people injail, pushing them into exile instead of dialogue, they're making a huge mistake. that doesn't help. and that doesn't help to quieten down the spirits of the people. that doesn't calm down or cool down whoever is frustrated, whoever is outraged. it goes in the different and in the wrong direction. and that is what people all over europe and the world are saying right now. so when arturo mas makes some space for catalonian self reflection and maybe even an extent of self—criticism, you're not interested in going there? well, look... the blame is all for others, not at all for you? i have my own opinion which co

i mean, stephen...me — do let me finish my question — are you an out and out separatist? you have to understand that what they've done to us has been completely, like, i think there's not a single kashmiri whose face is not lined with a sense of betrayal and shock and anger, and there's simmering anger. i feel so angry as a kashmiri. my mother, other pro—india politicians swore on the constitution of india, and what have they done? they've intentionally — there's been a concerted agenda to lump pro—india politicians with separatists. why would you do something like that? i'm just trying to tease out from you what you believe you can now offer as a vision for kashmir‘s future. have you joined the separatist movement? in your current position, it seems there's no space for your mother's politics. so, are you now saying that you've been pushed into a position where you would support even a violent separatist movement? no, well, first of all, i'm not a politician and that's something that i've made very cle

david: stephen, what inspired you?e been a major philanthropist and in the university of michigan, you are the largest donor by a long shot. where did you come up with this idea? serve on the cornell tech board in new york and seeing what they have done in creating this new school that brings together engineering, computer science, information, business, law, and medicine and really creating the future leaders of the country. , eithercompanies startups or existing companies, relocating, it is all about finding talent. i have seen how working in new york is that economic development tool with cornell tech and rhode island, and my heart has always been in detroit, being from detroit originally and seeing what the possibilities and where detroit is in this stage, and i approached the mayor and the university of michigan and told them about the idea, and they both thought it would be great for both detroit and the university of michigan. that started the whole process and i have known dan gilbert for a long time. dohas bee

please welcome stephen moore. moore is co-author of the book trump a nomics inside the america 1st plan to revive the economy. stephen moore thank you for joining me on head to head 1st to be here why is it stephen that you think that u.s. president donald trump of all people deserves to win the nobel prize for economics well we've got a very strong economy in the united states right now you know it's weakened a little bit from last year when i said that i think on c.n.n. that he should win the nobel prize for economics but it's the strongest economy in the world today. for reviving the economy i think trumpeters serves a lot of credit and maybe a nobel prize you say reviving the economy let's just be clear about what trump promised he promised 4 percent even 5 percent growth he hasn't even managed 3 percent yet he promised to eliminate the national debt in 8 years instead he's increasing it by 4 trillion dollars he said he would save coal coal hasn't be saved he said it would restore manufacturing it's in recessi

francine: stephen, thank you so much, stephen engle, chief asia correspondent.oldman sachs asset management chair. away from the protests, the trade concern is something that's keeping everyone on their feet, including markets, including the global economy. if there was a tussle that lasted 10 years between china and the u.s. who wins in the end? sheila: that's another tough one, just as tough as predicting what goes on from a hong kong perspective. the question who wins is a losing prospect f. one side wins, probably the globe loses. china and the u.s. have to come to some new relationship, some new status with each other, and that, i think, is what everybody's grappling their way towards for better or worse. you see china making interesting moves lately. we're moving quotas that went almost unnoticed at the beginning of september. that's a big move and a pretty irreversible move towards opening up domestic markets from an investing perspective. there are other moves being made that will be tougher and tougher to unwind in terms of china opening up. on the flip

all right let's bring in journalist stephen burgeon he joins us now from barcelona and hello to you stephen now the vast majority of catalan pro independence supporters were peaceful the saw those numbers at the rally what exactly happened to spark that violence and who was behind it. what's happened as part of from a couple of days of quiet with her as what's happened from the start as we have a peaceful demonstration very large number of people. as it dispersed those smaller organized groups who are just quite what the person who said all pro depends on the majority would then set off usually to the headquarters of the police which is where they were last night the spanish police and. stage a demonstrate a separate obstruction and stop throwing things at the police and taunting and so last night was a particularly large of about 10000 people outside the headquarters and what you can see in your video what happens. now later today we're going to see anti separatist rallies what can we expect there. well probably. are not sure how the larger the there was a couple of years ago there was one

stephen: what is the situation here in japan?ve a week external demand situation, whether it is the u.s.-china trade war, but domestic demand seems to be holding up. is that temporary? no specific trade war issue that is affecting for example the u.s.-china trade dispute is affecting certain sectors of the american economy. here in japan, the sectors affected are different. shortage in a labor hospitality, the trucking industry. those are really immigration related issues, not interest rate related issues. affect the real economy, really there is no push for that. relieftrying to provide for different sex errors that are under duress. isphen: why do you think it imperative, some say, for kuroda to say he has the will to ease if the conditions deteriorate to that point? ed: part of that is a creation of folks in the media who have to constantly ask for them to be prepared. they are constantly asked, are you ready to take the next step, do you have more ammunition if needed? is the political will for this still there? he gets these

how concerned are they that this will be a protracted -- it has already been a protracted stephen: stephene. -- a protracted dispute. sjoerd: it is not going to resolve the issue. we see clients living with this tension. we see a shifting of supply chain and we see people moving there. you know, to try and be more resilient to any of these sort .f trade problems shery: do you think a scaled-back deal is better than no-deal? stephen: that will bring some peace of mind. we have more trade tensions than less. you see that not only in china and the u.s., but overall, a rise of nationalism. some of these critical import-export channels. stephen: how is it impacting what jp morgan wants to do in china? we have heard jamie dimon talk extensively about wanting a wholly-owned unit here in china on thee jp morgan logo skyscraper and the like. we got a march approval for u.s. securities. joint venture to get majority control. by 2020, by next year, you could apply for 100%. does the trade tension make you have pause? all.en: -- sjoerd: not at china is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. there has never

aimee stephens.here is this consistent -- they are consistent in miss jane during her. we are somehow fraudulent. and when we have an administration, we have government policies that continually stigmatize us, it makes it ok for the person on the street who sees a trans person and decides we should not exist anymore. i am really at a loss because i know it is intersectional. i know it is about employment, health care, homelessness and having access to all of these things to keep us out of harms way that so many of us do not have access to. the unemployment rate in the trans community is three times the national average. the majority of us make less than $10,000 a year. when you cannot make a living, you find yourself homeless, that makes you more of a target of violence. there are so many things we have to do as a culture to end this violence. showing up tomorrow to the supreme court, letting your friends and family know it is not ok to discriminate against when we are, that living our lives, walking

i'm joined now by stephen executive director with the project on middle east democracy stephen is testifying before us congressional committees our human rights and democracy in the middle east and he has written extensively on policy u.s. policy in the middle east steve it's good to have you on the show. i just want to start our talk if i can by reminding our viewers what the u.s. president said almost a year ago about this killing take a look. we have $450000000000.00 worth of things ordered from a very rich country so to. $600000.00 jobs maybe more than the. and it would be very hurtful to this country if we said oh we're not going to sell it to you so the us president says we may never know all the facts surrounding the murder of mr so would it be accurate stephen to add to that since it's as long as donald trump is u.s. president well in a sense if the we here is the white house and the u.s. executive branch and ministration the president trump oversees the yes in a sense that's true the reality is that many of us do know sufficient facts the world really does know that this was. a murd

stephen would you say that these mass protests are on par with what's been happening in hong kong. it's. i think it's going to difficult to make those i think you know there is things you could criticize about the spanish state but comparing it to china which is a democracy is perhaps an appropriate i think some of the ways that people who organize it in using apps and social media is taking a lead. i think you know their stance on situation is unusual in many ways for one thing and this is not you know it uprising of the poor oppressed by this you know little to do middle class people it represents a big. hotel very well organized very very vocal and the spanish government's response all along has been to basically provoke them and make things worse all right journalist stephen burton speaking to us from barcelona thank you for that analysis now turkish president to one has warned that he will restart operations against kurdish forces in syria if they do not withdraw from a safe zone he denies reports that his troops have broken the temporary truce in the region but kurdish led sy
