hello, aubrey plaza. >> hello, stephen, how are you? >> stephen: i am well. but also have to talk to you about happiest season, okay, people are very excited about this. christmas is around the corner and you just, you just started on this big hit happiest season, spoir for anybody out there who hasn't finished it, but you have a message for the fans who think that you should have ended up with kristin stewart? >> look, i wanted it too, okay? i am not going to lie. i wanted it too. the i wanted it very badly but i didn't write the thing and i didn't direct the thing i just showed up and did my job and got out of there. there are some things you just don't have control over. >> stephen: true. >> but i am not giving up hope for riley. i think that she has got a bright future ahead. >> stephen: you shot that in pittsburgh, right, before covid? >> yes. right before covid, in fact. like covid was on our set, kristin got sick. >> stephen: we didn't -- >> no, we didn't know. >> stephen: wait is that news? are we breaking news right now? did everybody know -- >> sorr

>> hi, stephen. before, briefly, a few years ago, but i never had an opportunity to interview you, and now i get to interview you over zoom, which i understand is a particular rarity because is it true you have never owned a computer or a cell phone? >> yeah, somebody had to come and set this up because i don't have a cell phone or a computer. >> stephen: and why don't you have one? are you morally, philosophically, emotionally opposed? >> no, no. i just got to it too late. you know, i think i'm right at a certain age where it just passed me by, and i never got involved in it because it would be strange to have, you know, any ten-year-old be much better at it than i am. so so the other thing is, cell phones is a bit like a watch, if you need it, somebody has one. people are good about letting me borrow things. >> stephen: you've never e-mailed or texted. >> no. >> stephen: you've never been on twitter? >> no, i haven't. sometimes on a movie they'll give me a cell phone, but it's more so that they can

but have-- do you ride, stephen? >> stephen: when i was a kid.i could pass as well. i could climb up on a horse. the thing you might need to know is if they want to, horses can kill you. you know -- >> stephen: i am aware. i have been dragged by a horse. so i understand. >> they can knock you off. they can do any number of things. so wimpy-- i was told wimpy was a lover. he liked infection. so i'd throw my arms around him every morning and say, "who's a big wimpy? who is a good horse?" i would kiss him. and they have the eyes on the side of their head, and they would just kind of look at you like this... you know, those big, deep brown eyes. and i got the distinct feeling that wimpy was decide whroog to put up with me today. >> stephen: sure. >> you know. and by and large he did. by and large. and i acted like i knew what i was doing. i learned how to ride, which is great. wimpy was a real horse. but it adds-- it as a whole different-- different thing to the day, you know, because wimpy's got to be into it a little bit. >> stephen: and you've got

i am your host, stephen colbert.l, the thing that keeps happening is still happening, but now... much more. every day, the u.s. hits a new terrible milestone in the pandemic, and in the president. but let's start with the pandemic. we should all brace ourselves, because the post-thanksgiving coronavirus surge is just starting. no surprise. we all saw the pictures. even before the parade, that boss baby was not staying six feet away from anyone. but there's hope on the way. i'll give you the details in tonight's edition of: "catch a third wave: endless bummer." >> my cousin is the mucinex man! >> get out of here! right now, the pfizer vaccine is being administered in the u.k., and we're learning what to expect. health authorities in the u.k. say that people with severe allergies should not receive the vaccine. ooh, i hope this means the vaccine is a peanut butter cookie! also, in stateside vaccine trials, participants warn of intense symptoms after the second shot, saying "i developed a low-grade fever and had chills.

>> stephen: whoo!e laughing ) the president's complaints about fake election fraud are more than just recreational whining. in fact, his refusal to concede is seen by some of his followers as a call to arms, which has made for a dangerous situation down in georgia, where there have been many threats of violence, including against a 20-year-old voting system contractor who was targeted by someone who hung a noose and declared that the worker should be "hung for treason," and caravans of horn-honking m.a.g.a. supporters constantly parading past secretary of state brad raffensperger's private residence. well, that caravan finally showed up, and the president was right-- it's full of bad hombres looking to destroy our country. well, in response, yesterday, one of georgia's top election officials, gabriel sterling, a republican, gave an emotional press conference. >> i'm going to do my best to3 keep it together, because... it has all gone too far. all of it. a 20-something tech in gwinnett county today has

stephen: five years ago, dr. hickman teamed with a private company called police strategies, also based in seattle, to begin tracking data showing how, when, and where police use force. 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 choke

now on bbc news it's hardtalk, with stephen sackur. welcome to hardtalk. i'm stephen sackur. the us electoral college has spoken, even if outgoing president donald trump refuses to hear it. joe biden categorically and conclusively won the white house and he'll be moving in next month. so what now for the enraged incumbent and his most loyal associates? well, my guest today is chris ruddy, ceo of newsmax, the right—wing media organisation that's trying to outfox fox news by being trumpier than trump. is post—trump america destined to be paralysed with division? chris ruddy in new york, welcome to hardtalk. great to be on with you, stephen. thank you forjoining us. simple first question — donald trump has not yet conceded, but are you and is your newsmax network now prepared to acknowledge thatjoe biden did win the election? he is the president—elect? yes. and it's been our consistent statement all along on election night when the president was in a very close contest, there were six states where the result was 1% or less, two of the states were half a percent, one of the state

stephen: there is. part of the reason is that the letters between adams, jefferson, and rush, were so unbelievably personal that when rush died the founders came to the families and said, please don't let anybody read these letters. jefferson had written about his feelings about religion. the letters back and forth between rush and jefferson about how their separation of church and state statements. and a lot of criticism of washington. and also a lot of personal things. the letter sent to rush asking to be the medical guide for lewis and clark, which he was. the second half of the letter was jefferson describing the current state of his diarrhea. and a long discussion about what treatments he might try, including sitting differently on his saddle and things like that. so they are peppered with a a lot of personal things having to do with family stuff. keep in mind, rush's son, his oldest son who was a doctor, had a psychotic break. he ended up being a psychiatric patient, being taken care of by his fat

your book obviously is full of glorious stories with you being with stephen. are there any particular moment or two that you feel that encapsulated the whole experience of that's even possible? >> there are so many stories in different directions but i had a near-death experience i had internal bleeding in my intestines they cannot find the source. so i got over that and went back to cambridge he and i were having dinner one night and we started talking he knew that happened we were talking about it. and all his near-death experiences which at least one per year. >> numerous. >> one of the problems with his disease you have trouble breathing so because of that he was subjected to lung infections think that may have exacerbated it so every year he would end up in the hospital with a lung infection and several times his family or caregivers were told he may not go through so we were commiserating a little bit and he said that's tough but then back to physics and then my son who we mentioned earlier used as a basketball is life but then he starts typing and says
