tuesday. >> stephen! stephen! >> stephen: thank you, everybody! out here, but they are.nd gentlemen. ♪ ♪ thank you, my friends. you are my friends. romans, countrymen. welcome one and all to "the late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. [cheering] today down in washington was yet another clownish attempt by the g.o.p. to draw some sort of moral equivalency between joe biden and donald trump. this time, they heard testimony from special counsel robert hur, who was the guy in charge of the investigation into president biden's handling of classified documents. in hur's report, he declined to charge biden with any crimes, but attacked the president's mental fitness, saying he presents as "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." that kind of assessment is sort of outside the normal job description of a special counsel. it'd be like your doctor saying, "we ran some tests, mr. johnson, and your cholesterol looks good. but i am worried about how ugly you are. i'm gonna write you a prescription for bag over your head. unlimited refills." today, the g.o.p.

i'm your host, stephen colbert.ng] the big story today is the supreme court once again shoving their gavels up the election. longtime viewers of america will remember that colorado kicked trump off the ballot because of the whole launching a violent coup so he could stay in office, violating the 14th amendment's insurrection clause. well, today, the supreme court said trump can stay on all state ballots in a unanimous ruling. [booing] i agree. it is a ruling that i will remind you no one has to follow, because last week, i declared the supreme court unconstitutional. so... [cheering] you're getting that right? fact check me on that one. i did that, right? so states, feel free to kick him off your ballot -- tell 'em colbert said it was okay. i got your back. you're dealing with me now. that was just the constitution. you're dealing with me now. the justices claim that since different states have different standards for what would qualify as insurrection, conflicting state outcomes would lead to chaos. yes, the suprem

i'm your host, stephen colbert.insane day for america, because it was a regular day for donald trump. he had not one, but two criminal trials today. one in new york, one in georgia at the exact same time. the only way to follow all of the action was to have multiple tvs. that's why i watched all the proceedings today at a buffalo wild wings. i had the hot habeas jalapeno poppers. then is this just tomorrow? tomorrow, judge engoron is expected to issue a verdict in trump's $370 million civil fraud trial. and i'll tell you right now. whatever he rules, i believe the verdict is unfair... to me! 'cause i don't have a show tomorrow! and justice delayed is punchlines denied. those three are just today and tomorrow. he's also facing the january 6th trial in washington d.c., the classified documents case in florida, colorado trying to throw him off the ballot for insurrection, and his appeal of the verdict in the e. jean carroll defamation case, in which a jury has already found that trump committed sexual assault. and yet,

i'm your host, stephen colbert.eering] i want to thank everyone in this brave audience right here, everyone in the audience who braved the cold outside to come in here and be even colder, because today, new york city was pummeled by a nor'easter, including a heavy dusting on the marquee at the d sullivan theater. leading up to the storm, officials forecasted up to 8 inches of snow. of course, as is usually the case, that 8 inches was more like a confident 5. but you know what they say. [cheering] you know what they... i got a little something. but you know what they say. it's not about the depth of the snow, it's how you plow it! thank you. back in the day, snow used to mean no school, but not anymore. because instead, in new york, students had a remote learning day. as in, the chances of learning? remote. the early morning snowstorm, is this true? it depressed turnout in an important special election today in new york: the race to replace george santos. the candidates for that long island seat are republican mazi p

i texted josh brolin right before and i asked, do you have anything on stephen and he went stephen whos of you fishing. would you like to talk about this? >> stephen: no. i'm surprised he brought this up. a couple years ago now during covid, he just cold-videoed me. send me a video of him driving back from some mountain that he goes to. >> rebecca: i know what's happening here. >> stephen: he sends me videos long rambling heartfelt videos. about how a ceiling. >> rebecca: poetry. >> stephen: i try to match his energy when i sent back to him and my wife always mocks me and goes "you adopt a different way of speaking we send a video backed and because you are trying to seem cool." and you say things you never say like "hit me back." i would never say that but to josh i can say "hit me back." he sent me and i know i'm talking about me -- >> rebecca: did you get the long birthday want? oh, god. i love him and it's poetry. >> stephen: your birthday or his birthday? >> rebecca: his birthday. >> stephen: he sent you a video to remind you that it was his birthday? >> rebecca: it was a grateful

"dune: part two" in theaters. anyway. rebecca ferguson. rebecca ferguson, everybody. i would run this show with you. i love this. could i be your sidekick? >> stephen: yes, 100%. you wouldn't have time to do your films. >> rebecca: i know. i know, but i could pause just for a little bit. i need to say no to some things. >> stephen: can we talk the network? >> rebecca: yeah, could we do that? >> stephen: we'll talk to the

i your host, stephen colbert.ve got a rare positive update on one of trump's thousands of court cases. yesterdy, the judge in the stormy daniels hush money case imposed a gag order on trump. okay, that's positive! but it raises a disturbing question: how do you gag someone who speaks out of their ass? [laughter] [cheers and applause] the answer is very carefully. and if you ever thought that this avalanche of legal scrutiny would somehow shame trump from his nonstop grifting of the rubes, you are a sweet, sweet child, one of god's innocents, and should not be allowed in the room where daddy keeps his sharp things. because yesterday, donald trump announced a deal to endorse a $60 "god bless the usa" bible. yes! donald trump is now hawking a bible. it's just like any other good book except in the middle of this one, there's a centerfold. "wow, mary was a bethlehem 8. i wouldn't kick her out of the manger for eating crackers." this has come as no surprise to anyone. making a profit is his religion. as his jesus famou

[applause] one of my favorite songs of yours is "slip sliding away." can you tell me about writing that? what was the process like for that? beautiful structures. a man, a woman, a father, god, different points of view of these different personages. >> paul: the thing that i remember most about bad is it's probably the song that i wrote most quickly. i think it came in less than a half an hour. i just came out. it's very unusual for me because i mean, i could take months or even a year to write a song. to that became very fast. >> stephen: when you write that song that fast can you go wait, can it be good? because it came so fast. you have any doubt about the song because it came fast? should be a struggle for you? >> paul: no more inclined to "this

"too much caffeine: we have the shakes." coming into tonight's speech, critics said biden's state of the union challenge was to dispel "old-man vibes." really? in congress? kinda hard to fight off the old man vibe when you're speaking to a room that looks like an open casket convention. well, tonight, joe biden delivered what has been described in the press so far as fiesty, fiery, heated, supreme, crunchwrap. i'm sorry. it's really late and i'm hungry. leading up to the big speech, biden hunkered down at camp david with six of his closest advisors including mike donilon, the aide

[booing] and gave him ten more days to pay. every time, every time it seems like consequences of any kind are closing in, he gets away with it! who let this guy wish for more wishes? especially after how racist he was to the genie! in addition to cutting the bond by more than half and giving him an extension, the

"you're safe as houses", is what he says on the tape. such a promise always underpinned the state's pitch to potential recruits. why, then, was only a handful of rescues made when their cover was blown? one of the assurances, it appears, that handlers would give to their potential agent is that, "if the ira arrest you, we'll rescue you". as a statement of intent, absolutely. when it comes to it, it can be very difficult to spring an agent. so, good luck if you are invited to go and rescue this or that agent. it could be a very, very tricky operation. to sinn fein, stephen's tape was a propaganda gift, designed to expose the machinations of british intelligence. he and mcguinness attended the press conference when the tape was played. you might have expected stephen's would—
