( laughter ) >> stephen: speaking of which, what do you think of your husband's performance in tulsa saturday night? >> like his performance every night, way smaller than promised, and everyone involved should get tested. >> stephen: sounds wise. so let's talk about this new biography about you, ma'am? >> oh, this book! don't believe what you read. this book makes me out to be a ruthless, cold-hearted manipulator who will stop at nothing to get what i want, but it's also full of lies! >> stephen: let's get into some of the allegations, ma'am. according to your book, after your husband won the election, you renegotiated the prenup. is that true? >> totally false.

( as trump ) "kamala harris is a socialist. she's pocahontas. she's poca-harris! also, the internet is full of toxic biden bros! quick! please someone tell me she had an email server." maybe one reason why trump is struggling to go after kamala harris is that his heart's not in it because-- and this is true-- when she was running for attorne

>> stephen: ah! god, . don't ever scare me like that again, chuc tonight's host, tracy ellis ross, laid out just what makes a leader: >> real leaders dont ask what we can do for them. they ask what they can do for us. >> stephen: (as trump) "but great leaders ask: i want of democrats, it was, though." constitutionally obligated that at least one kennedy speak. tonight, it was two, caroline kennedy and jack schlossberg. okay, i know this isn't the point of any of this, but how many generations will itake for kennedys to stop being attractive?! those are the strongest handsome genes i've ever seen! forget "jurassic park." everyone stay in the jeeps. park it'll be fine. then we heard from some former presidents jimmy carter and bill clinton, seen here finding out ghislaine maxwell was just arrested. and the former president let >> at a time like this, the oval office should be a command center. instead, it is a storm center >> stephen: all right, that's true. th's a good point. but i don't think bill clinton g

>> not very well, stephen.ys in the white house right before we handed over to the trump administration. i was meeting with a group of reporters, and they asked me, what are you worried about most that other americans may not be focused on and i said the threat of a global perching, because i have known and many experts in national security and global health and development have known this was inevitable. the only thing we didn't know precisely is when it would hit and what type of disease it would be. so this is about as bad as it could get bar one scenario, stephen, which is if this were like an avian flu that was even more deadly. you know some of these avian flu viruses are just as trance missable as covid but they can kill 50% or more of the people who contract it. so this is bad, it's really bad, but it could be worse, and the lack of preparedness on the part of this administration and the bungling of this every step of the way, i think willful bungling, in some regards, is killing americans, over 170,000

and now live on tape from a safe distance it's stephen colbert. >> stephen: everything okay?k worried, or is that just your attempt to stay awake? put me in, coach. you are, thank you. ( laughs ) welcome to "a late show," i'm your host stephen colbert. i hope you are all staying safe out there. step one: don't be out there, stay in there, because coronavirus is spreading like trump's backside on a lawn chair. and yesterday the president had his first covid-19 briefing in three months where he announced some startling news: he's noticed reality. >> it will probably, unfortunately, get worse before it gets better. >> stephen: ( as trump ) "that is a trump presidency promise, it gets worse. you can take that to the bank. and i would take it there quickly because i've got some really bad news about our banks." trump has also really evolved on that. >> we're asking everybody thatw socially distance, wear a mask, get a mask, whether you like the mask or not, they have an impact. >> stephen: he said, not wearing a mask. "remember, kids, smoking will kill you with its delicious menth

>> stephen: oh, okay. >> and i sort of read them. >> stephen: all right.s, and then often, i'm like, hey, that's what's happening right now! so apparently, according to these history books i've read, the united states was founded on white supremacy and racism. >> stephen: okay. >> and the fuel of america is racism, and that's what keeps white supremacy going. and until we actually redesign the whole system, this is where we're at. >> stephen: well, that takes me to your first episode. on sunday, this sunday, it starts. the first episode's title is "where do we even start with white supremacy?" w. kamau bell, where do we even start with white supremacy? >> first of all, i like that title, because it sounds like a b-side from "hamilton" or something. ( laughter ) >> stephen: sure, sure. >> well, we start with accepting the fact that, as i just said, america is built on white supremacy. that the whole history of this country started on genocide and slavery, and from that, everything that's built has been built on top of that. and been built in ways to make su

>> stephen: well, welling well. welcome to 'a' late show. i'm your host stephen colbert. ladies and gentlemen, i hope you are sitting. and i hope this afternoon when your world was rocked, you weren't knocked down because there was a huge bombshell in washington today from former trump fixer and man whose facial is socially distancing from his skull, michael cohen. out of know where cohen released his new tell all book disloyal, it was a complete surprise like when beyonce drops a new album. but not like that in anyway. cohen describes his tell-all this way. this is the book the president of the united states is does in the want you to read. so any book? some of the stuff is a little strange like how cohen describes the anticipation of when he testified before congress. it felt something like when i was in the hospital awaiting the birth of my daughter and son. daddy, were you happy when i was born? it felt like i was about to face the harsh consequences of ef reef mistake i had ever made in my life. who wants ice cream? but even the forward of this book is loaded with ju

and now, live on tape from a safe distance, it's stephen colbert! >> stephen: you ready?this is eight weeks. >> so, so ready. >> stephen: i am so, so ready as well. >> i could been more ready. >> stephen: what do you think of the hair tonight. >> i think it's fine. >> stephen: good? i've got a nice little sweep going here. oh, hi. and welcome to "a late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. you know, the great state of michigan is grappling with a series of disasters right now. record unemployment coronavirus, flooding, and today, a visit from donald trump. there's a reason it's wearing a mitten-- because it doesn't want you to see which finger it's holding up. trump went to a ford plant in ypsilanti today, and one of the big questions was whether he was going to set a good example and abide by the company's rules by wearing a face mask people were so concerned that, prior to the visit, the michigan attorney general wrote a letter asking trump to wear a mask for the visit, explaining, "anyone who has potentially been recently exposed, including the president of the unite

>> yeah. >> stephen: okay. later. later. welcome to "a late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert.ve all been quarantined for months, and i've been going a little stir-crazy. but that's completely normal, according to my therapist, doctor kahlua. and the danger is not going to pass any time soon, because 20 states are now seeing a rise in coronavirus cases, and "florida, texas, and arizona all just set records for the most cases they have reported in a single day." >> the great an .>>tephen: asru: this is the most predictable health outcome since the c.d.c. published its landmark study "health projections and inflammation results of stickin' your penis in that hornet's nest."uthweste.s. orbuesni "steady spad across the sun belt." so the exact thing that we were told would happen is now happening. you'd have to be a complete idiot to deny it. ( knocking ) wait, who's that at the dumb door? why, it's vice president mike pence, seen here repenting for eating a jalapeno popper. ( as pence ) "i swear, mother, i thought it was a hush puppy. don't tell ice." on monday, on a call with gove

>> stephen: hey, everybody. welcome to "a late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. thanks for staying up for our special live "late show" following the republican national convention. every night has had a theme. first night was "land of promise." then was "land of opportunity." i assume tonight is "land of the lost." let's get right to what we're calling... >> this american carnage. >> be best. >> i'm mike pence. >> good luck. let them prove somebody wasguil. >> snap. snap! magic snap! it's not working, dad! >> stephen: now, full disclosure, i did not watch much of the convention tonight. and fullest disclosure, i did not watch any of it. because right now in america, we're facing a global pandemic that has killed 180,000 americans, heavily armed rambo wanna-bes are murdering people in our streets. the strongest hurricane in the history of the gulf coast is making landfall as i speak. and the r.n.c.'s message is, "who's up for four more years?" huh? i not wg r.n.c., i dn't do my job i ant to s, i feel great why should we pay attention to what they're saying if none

stephen: yes.hink we will find when we total up the bills at the end of the year, the new law kept some money out of the system. the total will be somewhat less. there won't be the great contributors as there have been in some periods of the past, so more equalized contributions, but in terms of outcome, in terms of would this campaign have been any different, would somebody else had emerged? i don't think that is true. it is much more likely the democratic party, the rules changes, they have made a difference. richard: numeral -- you mean the introduction of proportional is him? for example in 1972, mcgovern got every delegate in california because he won statewide. in 1976 these delegates were distributed in california and in many other states on a proportional basis. the interesting thing is though, that even with the proportional base in the democratic party, we still have a dramatic move forward of one candidate in his final victory. stephen: as i think you have said on other occasions, doesn'

jon lapook. >> hi, stephen. >> stephen: hello, dr.o see you again in your new digs. >> stephen: thank you very much. are you in the same digs, new digs, it's been awhile. >> i think last time i was in new york city, i'm up in vermont now, remotely broadcasting. >> stephen: okay, my best to the cows. doctor, sadly the united states just passed five million coronavirus cases. where are we as a world, finding coronavirus and where is united states within that picture? >> well i've been saying from the beginning this is going to have a beginning, a middle and an end and right now we're in the thick of it we are in the middle of it. and i would like to think that we were doing better than we actually are. i mean i have been disappointed that we haven't all been rowing in the same direction, there has been some mixed messaging. but on the positive side, you've seen this tremendous private, public, academic partnership that has done all sorts of really impressive things. so a mixed grade right now. >> three viable vaccines are in testing rig

stephen: five years ago, dr. hickman teamed with a private company called police strategies, also based in seattle, to begin tracking data showing how, matthew: with these data, we can start to understand how use of force incidents evolve, and hopefully lead to better policies and training so that we can try to minimize injury. bob scales: so, you can't have an evidence-based policy or evidence-based training if you have no data to back it up. stephen: bob scales is a former prosecutor and assistant director for seattle's public safety department. he helped found police strategies. bob: without the data to back it up and see a before and after of the training, we don't know if the training has had any impact on how officers behave and how they use force. stephen: for example, separate research conducted by the use of force project shows that police departments that ban chokeholds can significantly reduce the number of incidents that end in death. eddie garcia: we banned the chokehold. stephen: san jose police chi

stephen miller is known to everyone. he is not a kind after retreating personality inside the trump administration. he is notorious for all sort odd things. involved in the most controversial policies don't by the current administration. he's kind of enthusiastically and pridefully seen phobic, immigration hawk. people have seen him on tv and used to seem his raise his voice and being pugnacious. me question is what do you think the general public at this point and the media and its coverage of him -- what have we all misunderstood? what aspects of his personality or his thinking are the least well understood, given his outside public per sewn -- persona. >> i would start with the fact that he has a lot of -- had a lot of friends who perceived him to be a really funny. they -- he has this layered personality that is not really i captured in a lot of account about stephen mill and are he is depicted as the architect of trump's antiimmigration policy which he very much is, but in the book i thought it was important to also

nan.his is richard scam with us is stephen hess.his morning we will try to talk the end of the primary season. the beginning of the preconvention caucus and trying to get together various factions to produce a candidate for president and vice president in the fall. i suppose when one looks back on , there arey season two things really that stand out. the first is the rise of jimmy carter. of second is the closeness the republican campaign for the nomination. thisould you evaluate carter phenomenon. he was governor of a middle size state in the south. pretty well assured the nomination as the first since the severacivil war. , ane: this is a phenomenon incredible performance. he had only been governor for one term in a middle sized southern state. you might say one lesson we learned is it helps if you are to havefor president that as your full-time job and not be encumbered by other duties. through allnergy the primaries. richard: i emphasize that. the governor has to run back to the state. a senator has to run back to washington bec

this speaks to stephen miller's influence because stephen miller's mentor from the time he was a childeding him talking points for donald trump throughout his life according to private correspondence i obtain for the book, david horwitz is the person who started this idea partyty in the republican where in 2006 he published a watchlist of liberal professors who allegedly posed some kind of apocalyptic threat toto society. , he shaped stephen miller's career. he is a man who b believes the only real racism is racism against white men. he teaches young conservatives like stephen miller at a very young age how to use the language of the civil rights movement against the civil rights movement. so calling people of color and liberals the real racists were real oppressors and painting white conservative men as the oppressed and already come asas victims s of d discrimination, s yoyou sit with h people like che kirk and throughout the rnc, this idea that republicans and white men are being canceled, that there is this horrible canceled culture t that is tryig to eliminate freedom o of speech

stephen: this commission is key.aving a vaccine is one thing, making sure you can effectively inoculate billions of people is another thing altogether, it will be difficult. having said that, many of the things we have been worried are, will people go back to restaurants and cinemas, will they go back to concerts? start flying again? those are the things that died away rapidly over these months and i think will begin to return. having said that, there is still a little scarring. there are costs associated with the crisis that will not immediately go away. there is also the fact that companies and households are ending up with higher levels of debt than they would like. with higher levels of that, people will try to repay those debts rather than add to them further. so there will still be some costs out there different costs, perhaps than what we're seeing currently that would cause financial constraint, rather than costs in terms of shortfalls or business consumer confidence. alix: no matter what, there are still goi

no, stephen, that's not what i said.ow any investigation to move forward and we have not interfered, and we mustjust await to see what happens with that. as you know, it is unfortunate that in a desperate situation that venezuelans find themselves under maduro, that they have to flee the border and cross trochas. and these trochas, which are very narrow paths, are unfortunately controlled, basically, by armed and criminal groups. this is a direct consequence of the brutality of the maduro dictatorship that does not respect its constitution, does not respect the will of the people and imposes and tries to imprison, basically, its political opposition and allow. . .and won't allow them to leave the country. in a normal country, juan guaido would go through the main airport and leave and fly to bogota. it is unfortunate that he and many of my colleagues, and if i ever had to enter the country again, it would basically have to be through those narrow pathways that unfortunately are controlled by non—state armed groups. let m

what about that, stephen? we have all of these great, seemingly great answers that are ready to come out, but because of the process, it takes, can we use some of this early, under right to try? please. >> so it's a really good question. and, of course, it all depends on the clinical circumstances and what a doctor and a patient together decide, with respect to the administration of any agent. but if you think about what happened with convalescent plasma and the expanded-access program, this is exactly what happened. this program, so we have ongoing clinical trials that aree randomized between placebo, or an inactive substance, and the convalescent plasma.eb while that was going on, we knew that there was great demand from patients and doctors.de the expanded-access program is c way of actually doing that, and fits perfectly with what the president just said about allowing people to be able toal use something that we have now determined to be very safe. >> i think it was something we have to really consider ve

stephen has his hand raised.aybe, stephen, you keep a quick and given the time, if you have one of our guest in mind to ask a question? >> thank you. can you hear me? mr. sciutto: yes. for an give very much informative discussion. i have been busy with ukraine, that i was also in afghanistan, remember afghanistan before the last 42 years of war started and was there when war started with the soviet union. with theu are familiar word -- nowave a president right that price himself as being the great communicator. i came up with a word one time during the cold war, after 1989 when the berlin wall went down -- telejurga jihad. with the clans inside of afghanistan, why don't we have the president give each of those clans a telephone? thoughourage, that even we live in a democracy we have one vote for each person here in the beautiful, wonderful united states, that is not necessarily how afghanistan relates to things. i think that if we gave them the telecommunications capability as a gift, a satellite, free mobile eac

is ok that's a merry stephen but the w.h.o. thank you dr stephen thank you. now there's been theory in south africa has corruption scandals undermined the country's fight against the pandemic south africa is the most and equal society in the well that corruption has been identified as one of the drivers off the inequality report travel to cheating being the end pople to hear the story of how poor people were robbed off their savings off the greedy to the bank and the profit . richard and i would do is on his way to his son's grave his accidental death is a double dose of pain for the 80 year old the loss was followed by financial ruin you had to go into debt to pay for the funeral. since then i have been chronically ill and can't even afford medicine or a visit to the doctor while our savings were stolen by the v b s bank. u.b.s. the b.b.s. bank was a cooperative bank in the vendor region for years that provided access to banking services for the real poor because conventional banks didn't serve them then corrupt management took over and 2 years ago the bank

stephen: he certainly stands for managing government.is fairly unique among recent presidents. all, if her, after becomes president, will be the first former governor, a state chief executive to be president since franklin roosevelt. our presidents have tended to come out of the legislature. jimmy carter seems to be very interested in how government runs, the organization of it. he has made a very big issue of government reorganization. it is clear that he is a very serious planner. the fact that a candidate who was virtually unknown at the beginning of the year, has been running for two years and has , ands we know, a game plan actual scenario or outline of how he would get from an unknown to capture the democratic nomination. if there should be a carter presidency, i think it would be a very much more managerial presidency than we have known in the recent past. howard: managing the american government is a massive task. changing it greatly may be something we will not see. much is verying difficult in any massive organization, and sure

stephen: i don't know about impossible. see an interesting test of the strength at efficacy of monetary policy here. central banks around the world, in particular the fed, have injected an incredible amount of liquidity into the system and given us every indication that liquidity will stand for a long time. there is a big debate about what the nature of this downturn looks like. it is a classic demand-led weakness in the economy along the lines you suggested with the high unemployment rate? in which case it will be difficult to get inflation. supply-side shock? -- because of the virus and safety issues, in which case we are not necessarily immune from inflation coming back as the economy starts to return. approach third base we might get some further clues on average inflation targeting by the fed. if we move in that direction, the fed moves in that direction, what will it do to the feds to fed's reaction function? stephen: chairman powell talked about the last cycle and how we had low unemployment at the same time inflatio
