i am your host, stephen colbert.ay, at the manhattan district courthouse, stormy daniels took the stand for the second time to face cross-examination from trump's attorneys, who did everything in their power to discredit daniels. but this was not her first rodeo. and they would've know that if they'd seen her movie, "my third rodeo." it is very good. it is part of a series. in their cross-examination of stormy, trump's lawyers had one goal -- portray her as a money-grubbing, sleazy, dishonest operator, by attacking her social-media posts and merchandise sales. and for more on why it's so wrong to be a sleazy, money-grubbing merch-seller, buy my "god bless america donald trump bible," which i've updated to include a sexy new take on lots' wife. let's just say it gets more than a little salty. the main person doing the grilling was trump attorney and therapist trying to make it through another one of your dumb stories, susan necheles. necheles really tried to throw stormy off, suggesting that as a porn star, stormy had

i am stephen the very white.r of my birthday, this weekend, the skies all over the northern hemisphere were lit up by the aurora borealis. so beautiful. this extra vivid display was caused by a massive solar storm in which large, explosive bursts from the sun started slamming into the earth. or to put that in layman's terms: god was on shrooms, and was hankerin' for a little laser zeppelin. the lights were so bright they could be seen as far south as florida, where governor desantis immediately banned the sky for displaying a pride flag. [cheering] desantis fans! oh, i also got my birthday wish: donald trump is still on trial. this week... what week is this? three, four? this is four. this is week four of testimony in his "faking business records to cover up bangin' a porn star trial," featuring star witness, former fixer and silly putty who isn't feeling that silly these days, michael cohen. cohen's testimony is essential to proving the prosecution's case because he served as the middle man in the alleged $130,0

i am host, stephen colbert.ies and gentlemen, today, my friends, is an historic day, because the debate over debating is finally over. joe biden and donald trump have agreed to two presidential debates! yeah, my friends, boom. just like that. they're goin' head to head! toe to toe! mano a mango! these two men last debated back in october, october, right? of 2020. we all remember gathering with our friends and family on the couch to say "oh, god, i hope this doesn't happen again in four years." trump has been challenging president biden for months now, and today, biden accepted by releasing this video, where he took a swipe at trump's court schedule. >> donald trump lost two debates to me in 2020. since then, he hasn't shown up for a debate. now he's acting like he wants to debate me again. well, make my day, pal. i'll even do it twice. so, let's pick the dates, donald. i hear you're free on wednesdays.

[laughs] >>

i'm your host, stephen colbert. for those of you, anyone at home keeping score, today was the start of week two of testimony in donald trump's hush money trial here in new york city. it is clearly taking a toll on the man. here he is entering the courthouse this morning, with his cheeks full of acorns for later. trump showed just as much stamina as last week. reportedly, he was sitting with his eyes closed for significant portions of his testimony. so, either he's falling asleep again, or he's doing that little kid thing where he thinks if he can't see you, no one can see him. it's a real challenge for his lawyers. i gotta tell you. [applause] uh-oh. "i wonder where the former president is. i guess i'll have to eat all these cookies by myself. oh, well." "wait, i'm here!" of course, when trump hasn't been asleep, he's been violating his gag order by posting messages attacking witnesses and prosecutors and jurors. so before testimony resumed today, judge merchan finally issued his ruling on the violations, fining tru

[gasps] and my grandmother, "linda!" grabbed her by the arm. she said "give this little girl your autograph. she loves you." she looked at me and she said "hi, sweetheart. what's your name?" i told her. i'm looking up at this gorgeous face and she's writing it. and i look and her nostrils didn't match. [laughter] they were just a little different shape. you know. let me see your nostrils? same thing. they're not exactly

i'm your host, stephen colbert. [cheering] 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 ed 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 m

i am your host, stephen colbert.trump was back in court today for his new york hush money trial. and in a twist no one saw coming -- he remained conscious. which means he was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this morning when judge merchan held him in contempt of court for violating his gag order. again. again? i've got deja-woohoo! this morning, trump was fined $1000 for disparaging remarks about the jurors he made on a right wing show, saying, they were "mostly all democrat," and had been picked "so fast. very unfair." plus, they're supposed to be my peers, but i can tell you all of them love their children, and none of them tagged a porn star at a celebrity golf event featuring ray romano. everyone loves him except the porn star who was busy lovin' me. this means trump has violated his gag order for the 10th time. one more and the judge says "the court will have to consider a jail sanction."

that how stephen decatur rolled. and i think that's certainly something that we see in commanding officers going forward as well. the second that i have have nothing in particular that i think he also demonstrated a real moral courage as well as physical courage. so whether it was his acts in 1804, 1812, even trying to escape from the british, the us as president you know, everything he was doing, you he was a man of flair and an inspiration to the officers around him. even in his death, you know, accepting a jewel, which i understand was a bit of a blight at the time, you know, the us navy was losing too many officers that time through the accepting of i think it was, you. you're going to be kicked out if you accept a jewel or something like that or discharged. but you know, even there you this is not a man who would shrink back from from a duel or, would turn away from a fight. and that was inspirational to many so i think it was it was that and also mission command i talked about earlier which was just trusting an

stephen: yes.cutor operates independently and has a staff including an american who is leading the investigation, chief prosecutor for the special court of sierra leone. this is based upon their evaluation of the evidence. and on the operability of the statute to israel and palestine, because palestine is a state party and the judges determined there is jurisdiction. christian: you say palestine is a state party. i think the british government made the point today that palestine is recognized as a state. is that relevant here? stephen: it was relevant. there was certainly a good argument on that question. but since palestine was admitted to the u.n. as an observer state in 2012, it became a state party to the icc in 2015 when that was recognized, that ratification was recognized by the united nations. their former prosecutor put that issue before the judges in 2020 and in 2021 the judges said yes, a state. any crime committed on the territory of palestine, art of the west bank or the gaza strip, wo

stephen, i'm so sorry. i can't imagine.ine what it's like to live with that question not being answered. i want to bring you in now. what stephen just described there is horrific. and your book, your reporting has described the moment when people started trying to raise the alarm about this. how would you describe the response once companies and the governments started realizing that something had gone terribly wrong here? well, thank you. it's good to hear steven's story again. as he said, we did speak just a couple of weeks after he was first diagnosed back in 2021. and it was just such a shock that people are receiving those diagnoses this late. but the mistake started all the way back in the seventies when factor eight, this new miracle treatment for hemophilia was licensed, it was clear that it could contain hepatitis and through the seventies, a new virulent strain of hepatitis, then known as non non b. now, hepatitis c was kind of being established and they could see that patients with hemophilia were contracting thi
