said stephen colbert! and reporters for "the new york times" have seen receipts to these women from cash app, and apple pay. how dumb is matt gaetz? (as gaetz) "dude, dude, don't leave a paper trail. use the cash app, that way it all goes up in the cloud! that way, when it rains evidence disappears! pretty sure that's how it works." gaetz didn't keep his pervy behavior secret. allegedly, he showed his republican colleagues photos and videos of nude women he said he had slept with while on the house floor. remember: this is where he works. you know those mandatory sexual harassment trainings your office holds where the examples they give are all so outrageous, you're like "who is this possibly for?" it's for matt gaetz. gaetz also reportedly boasted of his "access to women." who says "access" to women? they're humans, not the united airlines premiere club. gaetz's reputation for creep goes all the way back to his days in the florida legislature, where he allegedly created a "game where members of the florid

>> stephen: hey, everybody! welcome to "a late show." i am your host, stephen colbert.re still emotionally processing yesterday's verdict by a minnesota jury that found derek chauvin guilty on three counts in the murder of george floyd. it brings up a lot of complex feelings, because no jury verdict can bring george floyd back, but the news of this accountability was celebrated across the nation, in minnesota... new york and... >> lets get together and feel all right. >> stephen: ...across the street from the white house, in black lives matter plaza, where people were dancing and crying with relief. what a difference 11 months make. last time they were crying from tear gas and rubber bullets. now, the problem of police violence against people of color is still far from solved. while this is a welcome verdict, it's like wiping up a spill on the "titanic": good job. now let's focus on the water around our ankles. president biden addressed it last night: >> let's also be clear, such a verdict is also much too rare. for so many people, it seems like it took a unique and ext

i'm your host stephen colbert. ladies and gentlemen, it's day 11 of derek chauvin's trial for the murder of george floyd, and we're back where we started, because yesterday, just a few miles from the minneapolis court house, another black man was killed by police. in this case, it's 20-year-old daunte wright, who was shot in the minneapolis suburb of brooklyn center during a routine traffic stop. after pulling wright over, the cops determined that he had a warrant out for his arrest, and then, as the police tried to detain him, he stepped back into his car, at which point an officer shot him. angry citizens protested all last night in front of the police station, and those protests are not likely to get any smaller after they learned that the police's official explanation for this shooting was the officer accidentally drew her handgun instead of her taser. it's dangerous when a policeman can't tell if you're holding a gun. it's insane when they can't tell if they're holding a gun. now you might think, "hey, just do

i never revealed this to anyone before but hey stephen is about stephen king. >> stephen: stephen kingk tower series changed my life, the shining, the stand and don't get me started on his short stories, absolutely luminescent. >> stephen: i agree. but, taylor, even if that's the case, you can understand why maybe i thought the song was about me. >> i mean, not really, to be honest. you know, if i was going to write a song about you, i would just p be, like -- it's so obvious to call it hey stephen. you would call it something more detailed. song writing is all about the details so you go hey stephen i love you on the tv and all the stuff you did on the daily show and the time your opinion on lawen order and your name is tyrone your social security number is 335 -- >> stephen: doornt say my social security number! i get the strong feeling it is about me! >> that seems like a you thing for you to sort of process, but the thing about that feeling that i think that maybe you should address within yourself, i think it's something that you should process and then take the feeling that you'r

>> stephen, it's good to be with you. >> stephen: i got- i got the book.g right there? >> i've got a little cabernet right here. >> stephen: well, listen, i've really enjoyed reading excerpts of your book. i haven't made my way all the way through it, but there are some juicy parts. you are candid in your memoir. i certainly hope you will be as candid with me as you are in the book. can i get that promise from you? >> you can get that, stephen. i have been candid, straightforward my whole life, including my years in politics, and you're going to get the same treatment, maybe a little more. >> stephen: now, most people know you as the guy who grew up sweeping the floor of his dad's bar in ohio, and eventually you make it to be one of the most powerful people in the united states, the speaker of the house. i want to ask you about that job. so few people, i think it's, altogether like 54 people, have held that job over the last 200 and some odd years. what do you think that job requires? >> well, it requires a lot of patience, but most of the skills i learned

>> jon: hello, stephen. >> stephen: congratulations!re. how does it feel? >> jon: oh, man, it's hard to put into words, and it's hard to conceive of it all. it was a great, great day. i'll say that. >> stephen: now, when they actually called out your category, atticus ross and trent wegner were also nominated for mank. did it take a second to figure out which movie had won? you were nominated for soul. did you know it first or did it take a second for it to sink in? >> it took a minute because there was music playing and the music started playing and the clap started happening, and i heard my name, but i wasn't sure, and then i saw the camera just go, boom. and that's when i was, like, oh, well, there we go, we won. >> stephen: so what did you do last night? >> oh, my goodness -- we had a lot of celebration. i got to chat, hang out with my man daniel kaluuya, congrats to danielle. >> stephen: yes. and her is incredible. and we all were there hanging out afterwards. and then we went to dinner with all of the team from pixar and trent and

i'm your host, stephen colbert. today was a very tense day, and this is a very tense time for america for a host of reasons. if you're looking to take the edge off, may i remind you, it's 4/20. for those not in the know, 4/20 is the one day a year weed smokers celebrate smoking weed every other day of the year. and this april 20 is the big one, because today, 4/20 turned 50. 50! that means it's old enough to sneak off into the garage while the kids are at soccer practice and smoke half a joint, but then it has a panic attack, so it spends the afternoon on the couch drinking water and watching q.v.c. far out, man. this is the 50th anniversary because, back in 1971, a group of california high school students used to gather to smoke pot every day at 4:20 p.m. admirable punctuality for a group of kids who were always high. these kids were nicknamed "the waldos." ah, now "where's waldo?" makes a lot more sense. it's about a guy in a knit cap who never changes his clothes and has no idea where he is. although, looking at

( laughter ) >> and this is a salad that you eat with a spoon. >> stephen: then it's not a salad. ( laughter ) it is a bowl of lubricated vegetable madness. but she did make one astonishing claim: >> popcorn salad is one of those classic midwestern dishes that you would often find in a church basement potluck. >> stephen: which is why so many young people have stopped believing in god. ( laughter ) quarantine-while, residents were upset when facebook removed the page for the french town of bitche. people who live in the town were upset, causing them to write a reinated, or what's known as a "bitche please." as soon as the matter was brought to the company's attention, the

thank you. >> so stephen any thoughts pretty. stephen: interesting things there. so there is very much a realization the children to go on this journey and accompany children go on this journey and any of them are suffering trauma. the impact of these children after they are released from the hhs facilities, the released to sponsors in most cases, the sponsors our family often parents and sometimes their brothers and sisters and grandparents who are here in the u.s. any times themselves illegally here in the u.s. so there are communities here in the washington area, it's a major destination for children. fairfax and these different counties surrounding this cities in washington are among the top ten destinations for those children end up in place because somebody in that community already here in the children are being placed with them. in school systems are absolutely having to deal with not just the trauma but the new numbers on the talents of english learners and now, they have been dealing with that system at 2014. the first of the surges under the obama admin

stephen: the u.s.not got the strongest relationship at the moment whereas in the past, if both were recovered, there would be a lot of synergies associated between the two economies. perhaps those synergies will not be quite as strong in the months ahead. having said that, it is also worth noting that for china, a good example, there is a powerful rebound in the second half of last year and year on year data in china looks impressive at the moment. the underlying growth rate is probably not that strong. you look at the numbers quarter on quarter and they are still fairly limp. we must not get confused between a post virus counts and the underlying economy which is not as robust as it once was. there are still important drivers in china -- an expansion in education, capital investment , advancements in technology. it is worth noting that as yet, the recovery has not been quite as strong as we have seen in previous chinese recoveries. anna: stay with us. stephen king, hsbc senior economic advisor. return
