>> NEBRASKA IS CONSIDERING LEGALIZING MEDICAL MARIJUANA BUT
NOT EVERYONE IS FOR IT.
NEBRASKA IS PUSHING BACK ON THE IDEA CLAIMING IT WOULD LEAD TO
THE DEATH OF KIDS.
>> THIS IS A DANGEROUS DRUG.
LEGALIZE MARIJUANA, YOU ARE GOING TO KILL YOURSELF.
>> THIS IS YOURED BUDDY DETECTIVE McGRAW SPEAKING ON
BEHALF OF GOVERNOR RICKETTS, STAY AWAY FROM MARIJUANA OR IT
WILL KILL YOU.
BECAUSE IF YOU SMOKE POT YOU GET THE MUNCHIES.
YOU GO TO THE KITCHEN TO MAKE A PB & J BUT HEY, MAYBE ARE YOU
OUT OF JELLY SO YOU RIFLE THROUGH THE CABINET AND FIND
SOME HONEY INSTEAD.
YOU SPREAD THAT ON YOUR SANDWICH AND IT KIND OF MAKES A MESS.
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT YOU ARE COVERED IN HONEY.
AND WHO IS ATTRACTED TO HONEY?
BEARS.
A BEAR GETS A WHIFF, BREAKS THROUGH YOUR FRONT DOOR AND RIPS
YOUR HEAD OFF.
SO BE SMART, LISTEN TO THE GOVERNOR AND HELP KEEP DRUGS OFF
THE STREET BEFORE A BEAR KEEPS YOUR HEAD OFF YOUR TORSO.
>> I'M PETE RICKETTS AND THE BEST PART IS WE'RE JUST GETTING
STARTED.
AAHHH.
O>> IT'S THE LATE SW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT.
TONIGHT CRY ME A RIVER.
PLUS STEPHEN WELCOMES SENATE MAJORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER,
JARED LETO AND MUSICAL GUEST LANCO, FEATURING JON BATISTE AND
STAY HUMAN.
AND NOW, LIVE ON STAGE FROM THE ED SULLIVAN THEATER OFFICE
BUILDING IN NEW YORK CITY, IT'S STEPHEN COLBERT!
>> Stephen: WELCOME TO THE A SLATE SHOW,
I'M YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT.
YOU MIGHT THINK I HAVE A PET IN MY STEP, I FEEL YOUNG AGAIN
BECAUSE RUSSIA AND MARK ARE BACK TO BEING ENEMIES, SOMEONE DUST
OFF DOLPH HUNDRED GREND AND GET HIM HUNTING FOR RED OCTOBER
BECAUSE THE COLD WAR IS BACK ON THIS TIME WE WILL WATER BOARD
BILLY YOAL UNTIL HE TELLS US WHO STARTED THE FIRE, THE LATEST
TENSIONS STARTED WHEN RUSSIA MED ELED IN THE 2016 ELECTIONS AND
GAVE US ALL WHAT HIS NAME BUT THERE IS A NEW OLD SHER NIF TOWN
AND HE IS NO FAN OF VLADIMIR PUTIN.
AS HE MADE CLEAR TO GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS.
>> SO YOU KNOW VLADIMIR PUTIN, YOU THINK HE IS A KILLER.
>> UH-HUH, I DO.
>> THAT QUESTION IS SO EASY IT SHOULD BE ON A COGNITIVE TEST.
PERSON, WOMAN, MAN PUTIN KILLED THEM ALL ON CAMERA, TV.
BUT IT IS A HUGE CHANGE IN U.S.
FOREIGN POLICY CONSIDERING HOW THE PREVIOUS GUY ANSWERED THE
SAME QUESTION WHEN HE WAS INTERVIEWED BY A SEX OFFENDER.
>> PUTIN IS A KILLER.
>> THERE ARE A LOT OF KILLERS, A LOT OF KILLERS.
YOU THINK OUR COUNTRY IS SO INNOCENT.
>> Stephen: MIGHT SEEM LIKE A WEIRD WAY TO STAND UP FOR THE
RUSSKYS BUT WE ALL REMEMBER REAGAN AT THE BERLIN WALL.
>> MR. GORBACHEV, I ONCE STRANGE ELED A DRIFTER.
>> EVIDENTLY PUTIN WASN'T THRILLED WITH BIDEN'S KILLER
COMMENTS BECAUSE LAST NIGHT RUSSIA RECALLED ITS AMBASSADOR
TO THE UNITED STATES, WHAT?
WHY, WHAT ARE THEY UPSET ABOUT.
PUTIN IS NAM US FOR BEING A KILLER TRK IS KIND OF HIS THING,
ALONG WITH HORSES AND NIPPLES, PUTIN HAS POISONED INSPECTOR
SUSHI, THROWN JOURNALISTS OUT OF WINDOWS TRIED TO ASSASSINATE HIS
MOST VOCAL CRITIC ALEXEI NAVALNY BUT PUTTING THE LETHAL NERVE
AGENT NOVICHOK IN HIS UNDERPANTS, A THE CRIME SHOW
MURDERED.
HE KILLED SO MANY PEOPLE THAT IN 2017 "THE WASHINGTON POST" WAS
ABLE TO PUBLISH A LIST OF TEN CRITICS OF VLADIMIR PUTIN WHO
DIED VIOLENTLY OR IN SUSPICIOUS WAYS.
HIS GREATEST HITS ARE HITS.
PUTIN DISMISSED BIDEN'S ACCUSATIONS TELLING REPORTERS IT
TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE SO A, HE IS ADMITTING THAT HE IS A
KILLER, B, NO, IT DOESN'T.
IF A COP CATCHES YOU STANDING OVER A DEAD BODY HOLDING A
BLOODY KNIFE HE DOESN'T SAY I HAVE NO IDEA WHO DID IT BECAUSE
I HAVE NEVER STABBED ANYONE.
PUTIN WENT ON WHEN I WAS A CHILD, WHEN WE ARGUED IN THE
COURTYARD WE SAID THE FOLLOWING.
IF YOU CALL SOMEONE NAME, THAT IS REALLY YOUR NAME.
IT LOSES SOMETHING IN ENGLISH.
THE ORIGINAL RUSSIAN TRANSLATES AS I AM RUBBER, I WILL TURN YOU
INTO GLUE.
PUTIN CONTINUES TO BELABOR THE POINT SAYING THAT EVERY STATE
HAD TO CONTENT WITH BLOODY EVENTS AND THAT IF BIDEN WAS
ACCUSING THE RUSSIAN LEADER OF SOMETHING HE WAS GUILTY OF
HIMSELF.
YEAH WE ALL REMEMBER WHEN BIDEN LOST IOWA, HE PUSHED PETE
BUTTIGIEG IN FRONT OF A TRAIN.
TRUMP THE MOST CHILLING MOMENT AS WHEN HE SAID IF HE HAD A
MESSAGE FOR BIDEN.
>> I WOULD WISH HIM GOOD HEALTH.
>> THAT IS MOM I NOWS BUT THEN AGAIN WHEN PUTIN SAYS ANYTHING,
IT KIND OF SOUNDS OMINOUS.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET.
THIS IS A MOST DELICIOUS CHOCOLATE MOUSSE I HAVE EVER
TASTED.
UPTOWN FUNK IS GOING TO GIVE IT TO YOU.
DON'T BELIEVE ME?
JUST WATCH.
RUSSIA MAY BE UPSET THAT BIDEN IS NOT BACKING DOWN AS WHITE
HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY GENERAL PSAKI EXPLAINS.
>> DOES PRESIDENT BIDEN REGRET CALLING VLADIMIR PUTIN A KILLER?
>> NO THE PRESIDENT GAVE A DIRECT ANSWER TO A DIRECT
QUESTION.
>> Stephen: I CALL IT LIKE I SEE IT, JACK, PUTIN IS A CURL,
BARACK IS MY BED BEST BUD, JILL IS THE HOTTEST TEACH IN
TOWRNTION AND EVERYONE ELSE CALLED JACK, COME ON JACK.
OF COURSE MURDERING PEOPLE IS JUST THE TIP OF THE PUTIN CRIME
BURST, IN ADDITION TO INTERFERING IN THE 2016
ELECTIONS RUSSIA HAS ALSO HACKED THE U.S. GOVERNMENT COMPUTER
SYSTEM AND PUT A BOUNTY ON U.S.
TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN AND THIS WEEK THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL
INTELLIGENCE DECLASSIFIED A REPORT ON THE 2020 ELECTION
ESTABLISHING THAT PUTIN THORDZ INFLUENCE OPERATIONS TO HELP THE
FORMER PRESIDENT.
WELL, DUH VIDANYA.
THAT IT IS THE EASIEST GAME OF CLUE EVER.
IT WAS MR. PUTIN WITH THE FOX NEWS IN YOUR GRANDPA'S DEN.
ALL THAT RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION HELPED LEAD TO THE INSURRECTION
IN WHICH 100 CAPITOL POLICE WERE INJURED AND ONE DIED.
YESTERDAY TO HONOR THEIR SERVICE ON THAT TERRIBLE DAY, THE HOUSE
VOTED TO AWARD CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDALS TO THE CAPITOL
POLICE T WAS A RARE BIPARTISAN VOTE TO HONOR THE MACHINE AND
WOMEN WHO PROJECTED OUR DEMOCRACY.
NOBODY SHOULD OPPOSE THAT EXCEPT FOR THE 12 REPUBLICANS WHO
OPPOSED THAT.
HERE THEY ARE.
A GROUP OF SUPERVILANS KNOWN AS THE LEGION OF DUMB.
THE REPUBLICANS WHO VOTED AGAINST THE MEASURE CLAIMED THEY
DID SO BECAUSE THEY OBJECTED TO THE TERM INSURRECTIONISTS TO
DESCRIBE THE CAPITOL RIOTERS, OKAY, YOU DON'T LIKE INSURANCE
SUR EKSZIST-- RES HOW ABOUT NECK BIERD FASCIST NEO CONFEDERATE
TINY PENIS TREE STON-- TREASON HUMPERS, THE MOB CAME TO KILL
THEM AND NOW THEY ARE WORRIED THAT CALLING THEM
INSURRECTIONISTS MIGHT SHUTTER THEIR FEELING, I'M SAYING WE
DON'T WANT TO ALL YENT OUR MOST LOYAL VOTING DEMOS, THIS, THE
ONE REPUBLICA WHO HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE PHRASING OF THE
RESOLUTION WAS FLORIDA REPRESENTATIVE AND COVER MODEL
FOR MOUTH BREATHERS MONTHLY, MATT GAETZ, AFTER THE VOTE HE
COMPLAINED ABOUT THE RESOLUTION BECAUSE IT CONTAINED WHAT HE
CALLED EDITORIAL COMMENTS ABOUT THE JANUARY 6th SCWENS OF
EVENTS, REALLY, YOU ARE GOING TO REFER TO THE CAPITOL RIOT AS A
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS.
A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WERE PRESENT SPEAKING AT A SPECIFIC
VOLUME, SUGGESTING TO SUSPEND ONE PARTICULAR OFFICIAL SOME
DISTANCE FROM THE GROUND BY A PART OF HIS BODY BETWEEN HIS
HEAD AND TORSO.
AND SURFACES OF THE ROTUNDA WERE SMEARED WITH A SERIES OF FLUIDS.
REPUBLICANS EVEN OFFERED AN ALTERNATIVE RESOLUTION
INTRODUCED BY TEXAS REPRESENTATIVE AND BABY WHO JUST
SAW YOUR CAR KEYS LOUIS GOHMERT, ONLY THING IS HIS BILL HONORING
CAPITOL POLICE MADE NO MENTION OF THE EVENTS OF JANUARY
6th.
YEAH, WHO NEEDS SPECIFIC DETAILS WHEN TALKING ABOUT HISTORY.
LIKE FDR SAID.
>> DECEMBER 7th, WELL, SOMEWHERE AROUND THEN, I'M
PRETTY SURE IT WAS WINTER BUT ANY WHO, THAT IS A PART OF THE
CALENDER THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY.
WHY YOU ASK?
NO REASON.
>> LATE YESTERDAY DOWN IN ATLANTA OFFICIALS CHARGES WERE
BROUGHT AGAINST THE GUNMAN WHO SHOT AND KILLED EIGHT PEOPLE ON
TUESDAY.
AND WHAT REALLY LOOKED TO BE AN ATTACK TARGETED AGAINST ASIAN
AMERICANS.
THIS HORRIFYING ACT OF SENSELESS VIOLENCE IS ONCE AGAIN SHOCKED
THE NATION.
AND LEAD TO A CALL TO RECOGNIZE AND END GROWING ANTI-ASIAN
RACISM IN AMERICA.
ONE PERSON NOT LEADING KAL CA THAT CALL LOCAL ATLANTA POLIT
CAPTAIN AND NO NONSENSE BOWLING PIN JAY BAKER, HE HELD A PRESS
CONFERENCE TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE ONGOING INVESTIGATION
AND WHEN A REPORTER ASKED HIM WHETHER THERE THEY WERE TREATING
THE MURDER SPREE AS A HATE CRIME, HE HAD A QUESTIONABLE
ANSWER ABOUT THE KILLER.
>> HE CLAIMS THAT THESE, ASS CHIEF SAID, IT IS STILL EARLY
BUT HE DOES CLAIM IT WAS NOT RACIALLY MOTIVATED.
>> Stephen: WELL, THERE IT IS.
HAVE YOU ANYTHING TO DRINK TONIGHT SIR.
NO, WELL, IT IS STILL EARLY BUT HERE IS YOUR LICENSE.
GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.
NOW LET'S GET YOU BACK ON THAT FREEWAY, DON'T SWERVE TOO MUCH,
YOU MIGHT SPILL YOUR DRIVING WINE.
AFTER STATING THE FACTS OF THE CASE HE WENT ON TO STATE HIS,
GONNA SAY THOUGHTS ON THE MATTER.
>> HE UNDERSTOOD THE GRAVITY OF IT.
AND HE WAS PRETTY MUCH FED UP AND AT THE END OF HIS ROPE.
AND YESTERDAY WAS A REALLY BAD DAY FOR HIM.
AND THIS IS WHAT HE DID.
>> Stephen: I'M NOT SURE WHAT HE INTENDED BY SAYING THAT BUT
IT REALLY SOUNDS WEIRD TO TALK ABOUT A MURDERER BEING FED UP ON
A BAD DAY.
I DON'T REMEMBER THIS HEADLINE ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE "L.A.
TIMES."
CHARLES MANSON GETS UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BED.
IT GETS WORSE.
AFTER THAT PRESS CONFERENCE SOME FOLKS FOUND FACEBOOK POSTS FROM
LAST YEAR BY CAPTAIN BAKER IN WHICH HE PROMOTED SALES OF AN
ANTI-ASIAN T-SHIRT, HERE IS THE SHIRT.
IT IS THE CORONA BEER FONT BUT SAYS COVID-19 IMPORTED FROM
CHY-NA.
MAYBE THIS ISN'T THE BEST GUY TO BE INFORMING THE PUBLIC ABOUT
THIS PARTICULAR INVESTIGATION.
WHEN THERE HAS BEEN AN ARSON YOU DON'T REALLY WANT TO GET UPDATES
FROM THE GUY KNOWN FOR FLICKING MATCHES AT OILY FLAGS MUTTERING
THE FLAMES, THEY ARE MY BROTHERS.
ONE THING IS CLEAR, THIS ISN'T AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.
A RECENT STUDY SHOWS HATE CRIMES AGAINST ASIAN AMERICANS IN
AMERICA'S BIGGEST CITIES CLIMBED 150% LAST YEAR WITH A SPIKE IN
MARCH AND APRIL WHEN COVID LOCKDOWNS BEGAN.
AND THAT MATCHES UP NEATLY WITH THE PERSON WHO FOR NEARLY A YEAR
DID THIS.
>> COVID-19, OR AS I CALL IT THE CHINA VIRUS.
>> THE CHINA VIRUS WITHIN THE CHINA VIRUS.
>> I CALL IT THE CHINA VIRUS.
>> I CALL IT THE CHINA PRAYING.
>> KUNG FLU.
, KUNG FLU.
>> Stephen: HE IS SCHEERLY JUST USING HATE AS A TOOL TO
BLAME HIS OWN FAILINGS ON A FOREIGN COUNTRY.
SAME WAY HE WENT AROUND INSISTING THAT PORTUGAL WAS
ERIC'S REAL DAD.
PEOPLE TRIED TO WARN THE FORMER PRESIDENT.
LISTEN TO THIS REPORTER ASK HIM DIRECTLY ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF
HIS RACIST LANGUAGE ONE YEAR AGO TODAY.
>> DO YOU THINK USING THE TERM CHINESE VIRUS, THAT PUTS ASIAN
AMERICANS AT RISK THAT PEOPLE MIGHT.
>> NO, NOT AT ALL, I THINK THEY PROBABLY WOULD AGREE WITH IT 100
PERCENT.
>> Stephen: WOW.
THAT DID NOT AGE WELL.
AND NEITHER DID THE WORDS COMING OUT OF ITS MOUTH.
NOW ALL AMERICANS, MYSELF INCLUDED, HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO
TREAT EACH OTHER WITH RESPECT AND DO A BETTER JOB TREATING
MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES WITH THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE.
OUR FORMER PRESIDENT BEARS A PARTICULAR RESPONSIBILITY FOR
AMPLIFYING THIS FORM OF HATRED.
JUST AS SURELY AS HE BEARS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SERIES OF
EVENTS HE INCITED ON JANUARY 6th.
THIS IS JANUARY 6th HAPPENING EVERY DAY FOR ASIAN
AMERICAN PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE HE WAS DESPERATE TO PASS
THE BUCK, OR AT LEAST EXCHANGE IT FOR SOME YUAN.
THIS WILL ALWAYS BE PART OF HIS LEGACY.
HE WILL BE REMEMBERED AS A HATEFUL MAN WHO LEFT A STAIN NOT
JUST ON THE WHITE HOUSE PILLOWS BUT ON OUR WHOLE SOCIETY.
BY INVITING HIS MAGA MINIONS TO AN ALL YOU CAN HATE RACIST
BUFFET.
THIS WILL TAKE A LONG TIME TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE HE HAS DONE
AND I HOPE ONE DAY HE WILL COME TO UNDERSTAND JUST HOW MUCH PAIN
HE HAS CAUSED.
I'M SORRY, I MISREAD THAT.
I HOPE ONE DAY HE SITS ON HIS OWN BALLS, LIKE REALLY HARD.
WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU TONIGHT, SENATE MAJORITY LEADER
CHUCK SCHUMER IS HERE.
STICK AROUND.
>> Stephen: JON BATISTE AND STAY HUMAN, EVERYBODY, THANK
YOU, JON.
>> Stephen: WELCOME BACK.
JOINING ME NOW IS THE MAN WHO HAS SPENT MORE THAN 40 YEARS
REPRESENTING THE STATE OF NEW YORK ON CAPITOL HILL.
PLEASE WELCOME SENATE MAJORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER!
SENATOR SCHUMER, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
>> GOOD TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN, STEPHEN, FIRST TIME AS MAJORITY
LEADER.
>> Stephen: THAT IS TRUE, I WANT TO GET TO THAT IN JUST ONE
SECRETARY BUT FIRST I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE HORRIFIC VIOLENCE
DOWN IN ATLANTA.
IT IS AN UNMITIGATED TRAGEDY.
WHAT WORDS DO YOU HAVE FOR PEOPLE IN THE ASIAN AMERICAN
COMMUNITY WHO ARE FEELING INCREASINGLY THREATENED OVER THE
PAST YEAR, ESPECIALLY?
>> YEAH, WELL FIRST MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE FAMILIES OF THE
EIGHT WHO HAVE SUFFERED SUCH A TRAGEDY.
AND TO LITERALLY MILLIONS OF ASIAN AMERICANS WHO NOW WALK THE
TREATS WITH FEAR THAT THEY MIGHT BE THE NEXT VICTIM OF THIS KIND
OF ASSAULT.
THE ASIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL THING IN
AMERICA.
HARDWORKING PEOPLE.
THEY START BUSINESSES AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS.
THEY'RE FAMILY ORIENTED.
THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN THEY WANT THAN TO BE AMERICAN.
IN NEW YORK, HERE IS AN INTERESTING STATISTIC TO SHOW, 9
PERCENT OF THE POLICE FORCE IS ASIAN AMERICAN.
SO THEY ARE A WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND THEY MAKE AMERICA A FINE
PLACE.
YOU KNOW WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS, IS DONALD
TRUMP, WE'VE ALWAYS HAD BIGOTRY IN AMERICA, THERE SAN
UNDERCURRENT, SOMETIMES IT RISES TO THE SURFACE BUT DONALD TRUMP
HAS SORT OF, A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT HE MADE IT ACCEPTABLE.
AND IT ROSE UP.
IT IS ALMOST AS IF YOU KNOW THE SUPEREGO THAT KEPT THIS BIGOTRY
DOWN WAS GONE.
AND SO IT IS WORSE THAN IT'S BEEN BEFORE.
WE ALL, EVERY ONE OF US HAS AN OBLIGATION TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST
IT.
TO LET OUR ASIAN AMERICAN FRIENDS KNOW WE LOVE THEM AND
THEY ARE PART OF US.
AND TO REALIZE THAT BIGOTRY AGAINST ONE IS BIGOTRY AGAINST
ALL.
I ACHE FOR THEM.
I ACHE, I DO.
>> Stephen: WELL, YOU HAVE A LOT TO GET DONE IN THIS SESSION
OF THE CONGRESS.
THE LAST TIME YOU AND I SPOKE, AS YOU POINTED OUT, YOU HAD A
DIFFERENT TITLE.
NOW YOU ARE THE MAJORITY LEADER, SECOND TIME FOR NANCY PELL OSY
TO BE THE SPEAKER, FIRST FOR YOU TO BE THE MAJORITY LEADER, ARE
YOU DRUNK WITH POWER OR STILL JUST DRUNK ON CHEESE CAKE, WHICH
IS IT.
>> YOU KNOW I LOVE JUNIOR CHEESE CAKE FROM BROOKLYN, BUT LET ME
TELL YOU THE REACTION I HAD WHEN I FOUND OUT I WOULD BE MAJORITY
LEADER.
YOU KNOW, EVERY ONE OF US WHO HAD WORKED FOR A VERY IMPORTANT
GOAL, WHETHER IT IS PERSONAL OR FAMILY OR PROFESSIONAL, CAN
ACHIEVE TA GOAL AFTER A LONG TREK, DE TOURS ALONG THE ROAD,
THEIR IMMEDIATE REACTION IS ONE OF YOURS, WOW, I GOT THIS.
BUT WITH ME, WITHIN A FEW MINUTES IT IS 4:30 A.M. IN THE
MORNING.
JUST AFTER THEY DECLAREED OSSOFF AND WARNOCK, THE TWO GEORGIA
SENATORS, I HAD A SECOND REAUCTION, OF A-WE, NO
APPROXIMATE NOT IN THE SENSE MY DAUGHTER USES, LIKE THAT MOVIE
WAS AWESOME, BUT A-WE IN THIS SENSE THAT WHEN THE ANGELS SAW
THE FACE OF GOD THEY TREMBLED IN A-WE.
AND I REALIZED RIGHT AWAY, IT HIT ME VERY HARD, QUICKER THAN I
THOUGHT, THE TREMENDOUS RESPONSIBILITY PLACED ON THE
SHOULDERS OF OUR DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY, SMALL THOUGH IT WAS.
AND I STILL FEEL THAT WAY.
WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT THERE IS A POSITIVE
PATH FORWARD THAT CAN MAKE THEIR LIVES BETTER.
SO THEY WON'T TURN TO THE FALSE GOD OF BIGOTRY AND THE KIND OF
PERSON DONALD TRUMP WAS.
>> Stephen: LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT
YOU AND YOUR FELLOW REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS HAVE
TAKEN ON SO FAR.
SIX WEEKS INTO THE NEW JOB, YOU PASSED A 1.9 TRILLION DOLLAR
COVID RELIEF BILL.
BACK IN 2010 WHEN THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT WAS PASSED, NOW
PRESIDENT BIDEN FAMOUSLY ON A HOT MIC SAID THAT WAS, AND CBS
WILL BLEEP THIS, A BIG [BLEEP] DEAL.
WHAT THREE WORDS DESCRIBE THE RELIEF PLAN?
>> GAME HAS BEEN CHANGER, CHANGING A LOT OF LIVES FOR THE
BETTER.
>> Stephen: HOW DOES IT CHANGE THE GAME, I'M SORRY, SIR, WHAT
HAS CHANGED, HOW DOES THE GAME CHANGE?
>> IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.
IT HAS DONE SO MUCH.
FIRST SOME OF THE IMMEDIATE THINGS THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
WANT, PEOPLE WILL GET THEIR 1400 DOLLAR CHECKS, MANY HAVE
ALREADY.
FOR EACH PERSON IN THE FAMILY, A FAMILY OF FOUR, MAKES BELOW
$150, THEY DEBT $5600.
THE VACCINE, THEY ARE NOW BEING ADMINISTERED A MUCH QUICKER AND
MORE EFFECTIVE RATE, MANY MORE PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO GET THE
VACCINE MUCH SEERN.
HOW ABOUT THIS ONE.
BECAUSE WE CHANGE SOMETHING CALLED THE CHILD TAX CREDIT AND
THE EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT, HALF THE CHILDREN IN AMERICA WHO
ARE IN POVERTY WILL NOT BE IN POVERTY, THAT IS AMAZING.
WHEN YOU ARE A CHILD AND YOU START OUT IMPOVERISHED, YOU
DON'T GET ADEQUATE EDUCATION AND HEALTH CARE AND HOUSING.
AND YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU BECOME A YOUNG PERSON YOU ARE WAY BEHIND,
JUST BEHIND.
WE CAN ERADICATE THAT, THIS IS FOR ONE YEAR, CAN I HOPE WE
WOULD MAKE IT PERMANENT THAT WOULD CHANGE AMERICA
PERMANENTLY.
WE MADE IT EASIER FOR SCHOOLS TO OPEN.
THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS IN THIS BILL.
ONE FINAL THING THAT ENCAPSULATES IT.
WE DEMOCRATS BELIEVE THAT GOVERNMENT HAS TO BE A FORCE FOR
GOOD.
AND WE PROMISED WHEN WE RAN THAT WE WOULD DO THINGS THAT WOULD
MAKE PEOPLE'S LIVES BETTER.
AND AM THIS AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN WE ACTUALLY HAVE DONE THAT, AND
JUST ABOUT EVERY AMERICAN WILL HAVE THEIR LIVES MADE BETTER ONE
WAY OR ANOTHER, ALL THE THINGS I MENTIONED.
YOU COULD BE A RESTAURANTEUR, YOU COULD BE A NONPROFIT, YOU
COULD BE SOMEONE WHO IS WORRIED ABOUT YOUR PENGS, ALL OF THAT
HAS BEEN MADE BETTER.
>> Stephen: LET'S TALK ABOUT BIG BOLD CHANGE AND ALSO INCOME
INEQUALITY.
THIS WAS THE ARP, THE RESCUE PLAN WAS PASSED THROUGH BUDGET
RECONCILIATION FOR THE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT DON'T KNOW, THAT
MEANS IT DOESN'T NEED TO GET AROUND A FILIBUSTER.
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: CAN YOU DO THAT AGAIN?
THIS WAS THE 2020 BUDGET RECONCILIATION.
YOU'VE STILL GOT 2021, RIGHT?
>> YEAH, WE STILL HAVE ANOTHER ONE.
>> Stephen: SO YOU GET TWO, YOU GET TO DOUBLE DIP THIS YEAR,
IS IT GOING TO BE INFRASTRUCTURE PAID FOR WAY BIG TAX INCREASE ON
GUYS LIKE ME WITH A LOT OF CASH?
>> YEAH, WELL, WE HAVEN'T FIRMLY DECIDED BUT IT LOOKS, IT IS
LIKELY TO BE THE BIDEN PLAN, WHICH IS CALLED BUILD BACK
BETTER WHICH COMBINES A BUNCH OF THINGS.
NUMBER ONE, DRAMATIC INCREASE IN INFRASTRUCTURE.
BOTH THE TRADITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT ALSO GREEN
INFRASTRUCTURE IT IS VERY CLIMATE ORIENTED.
SO FOR INSTANCE WE WOULD HAVE A POWER GRID THAT COULD BRING
SOLAR AND WIND POWER, FROM ONE END OF THE COUNTRY TO THE OTHER.
I HAVE MADE A PROPOOS-- PROPOSAL WHICH BIDEN HAS ACCEPTED THAT WE
ENCOURAGE, GREATLY ENCOURAGE ELECTRIC CARS WHICH DON'T
POLLUTE AS OPPOSED TO THE INTERNAL COME BUST SHON ENGINE,
SO AN INFRASTRUCTURE, IN A DIFFERENT WAY TOO, BROADBAND.
YOU KNOW FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT SAID IN THE 30S THAT EVERY HOME
SHOULD HAVE ELECTRICITY, IT WAS A NECESSITY.
WELL, HIGH-SPEED INTERNET IS A NECESSITY NOW.
BUT TOO MANY HOMES IN RURAL AMERICA AND WE HAVE TO INCLUDE
RURAL AMERICA IN WHAT WE TRY TO DO, AND IN THE INNER CITY DON'T
HAVE INTERNET.
OUR PROPOSAL WOULD SAY EVERY HOME SHOULD GET IT.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK, SENATOR, STICK
AROUND, WHEN WE COME BACK, I WILL ASK CHUCK SCHUMER ABOUT
MITCH McCONNELL'S THREAT TO UNLEASH SCORCHED EARTH IF THEY
CHANGE THE FILIBUSTER.
>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY, WE'RE HERE WITH SENATE MAJORITY
LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER.
WELL, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE BIG BOLD CHANGE THAT MAY BE COMING
TO THE SENATE, THE UNITED STATES IS A REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY.
THE SENATE MIGHT BE THE LEAST REPRESENTATIVE PART OF THAT
GOVERNMENT BECAUSE 45 MILLION MORE PEOPLE ARE REPRESENTED BY
ONLY 50% OF THE SENATORS.
THE DEMOCRATS REPRESENT 45 MILLION MORE PEOPLE THAN THE
REPUBLICANS.
THE FILIBUSTER IS THE LEAST DEMOCRATIC ASPECT OF OUR LEAST
DEMOCRATIC PART OF OUR GOVERNMENT.
ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE CHANGES TO IT BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE
EVERYBODY INCLUDING JOE MANCHON SEEMS TO BE OKAY OF THE IDEA OF
AT LEAST CHANGING WITH THE FILIBUSTER MEANS.
>> YEAH, WELL LET ME SAY THIS, WHAT UNITES OUR CAUCUS FROM ONE
END TO THE OTHER IS WE NEED BIG BOLD CHANGE.
THE QUESTION IS HOW TO GO ABOUT GETTING IT DONE.
WHAT IS THE PREFERENCE?
THAT REPUBLICANS JOIN US, THAT MAYBE WHAT THEY DID IN ARP IS NO
LONGER THE CASE, AND WE WILL GIVE THEM A CHANCE, PUT THINGS
ON THE FLOOR, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MY COLLEAGUES THAT STAY LET'S
GIVE THEM A CHANCE.
BUT IF THEY VOTE NO LIKE THEY DID ON THE ARP WHICH, DON'T LET
THAT STOP IT.
>> Stephen: I WILL TAKE IT AS A DEF YES IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
>> OUR CAUCUS IS GOING TO COME TOGETHER AND FIGURE OUT THE BEST
WAY TO GET CHANGE, BUT FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.
CHANGE WE MUST.
>> Stephen: HOW MUCH HOPE DO YOU HAVE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO
GET TEN REPUBLICANS TO COME OVER FOR HR-1, THE VOTING RIGHTS
BILL?
>> LET'S EXPLAIN, CAN I EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS TO PEOPLE BECAUSE
IT'S SO IMPORTANT.
IT STRENGTHENS OUR DEMOCRACY, DARK MONEY THAT COMES IN, AND
CASCADES IN FROM SPECIAL INTERESTS, CHANGES
REAPPORTIONMENT BUT THE BIGGEST CHANGE, THE MOST IMPORTANT
CHANGE IS IN VOTING RIGHTS, THERE HAS BEEN A NEW EFFORT BY
REPUBLICAN LEGISLATURES THOUGHT THE COUNTRY TO SUPPRESS THE VOTE
AFTER THE ELECTION SINCE THEY LOST.
INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO IN A DEMOCRACY,
FIGURE OUT WHAT WENT WRONG AND WIN OVER SOME VOTERS THEY WANT
TO STOP THE PEOPLE THAT VOTED AGAINST THEM FROM VOTING.
HERE IS ONE OF THE TWO EXAMPLES WHICH PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT.
IN GEORGIA THEY HAVE SOMETHING CALLED SOULS TO THE POLLS WHERE
PEOPLE, AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITIES AFTER CHURCH GET IN
BUSES AND THEY GO TO THE POLLS AND VOTE.
THERE IS EARLY VOTING, I THINK IT IS THREE WEEKS BEFORE THE
ELECTION.
BUT THEY GO ON SUNDAY.
THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE HAS DECIDED TO KNOCK OUT EARLY
VOTING JUST ON SUNDAY.
THAT IS RACIST.
THAT SAUL THERE IS TO IT.
AND SOME OTHER PLACES, THEY WANT TO SAY, TO HAVE AN ABSENTEE
BALLOT, YOU CAN'T GET TO THE POLLS, YOU NEED A NOTARY TO COME
TO YOUR HOUSE, WHAT POOR PERSON IS GOING TO DO THAT.
SO THIS IS DESPICABLE.
SCRKS-1 WOULD UNDO IT AND ALLOW THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO UNDO
IT.
WE HAVE TO PASS IT.
>> Stephen: MITCH MCCONNELL SAID ON THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE
THAT IF Y'ALL CHANGE THE FILIBUSTER, THERE WILL BE
SCORCHED EARTH OF THE KIND THAT NO ONE PRESENTLY SITTING IN THE
SENATE HAS EVER SEEN.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE MORE SCORCHED EARTH THAN THE WAY
MITCH McCONNELL HAS JUST RUN ROUGH SHOD FOR THE PAST FOUR TO
EIGHT YEARS, REALLY?
I MEAN ISN'T HE THREATENING THAT IF YOU DO THIS MITCH McCONNELL
WILL CONTINUE TO BE MITCH McCONNELL?
>> YEAH, WE USED TO CALL THE SENATE WHEN HE WAS IN CHARGE THE
LEGISLATIVE GRAVE YARD.
THE HOUSE WOULD SEND OVER GOOD BILLS THAT HAD A LOT OF POPULAR
SUPPORT.
HE MIGHT OPPOSE THEM, FAIR ENOUGH BUT HE WOULDN'T EVEN PUT
THEM ON THE FLOOR FOR A VOTE.
McMITCH CON EL IS SO AFRAID FOR OF THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN
THAT HE KEEPS LOOKING FOR DIE VERSIONS, ONE AFTER THE OTHER.
AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE DIVERTED.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE DE TERRED.
WE'RE GOING TO GO FORWARD BECAUSE WE KNOW THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE DE MANLD, NEED, WANT BOLD CHANGE.
AND WE'RE GOING TO DO IT, AND MITCH MCCONNELL CAN DO ALL THE
THREATENING AND BLUSTER HE WANTS.
IT'S NOT GOING TO STOP US.
>> Stephen: IS IT EMPTY, COULD HE GRIND THINGS TO A HALT AS A
MINORITY LEADER?
>> LOOK, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO GIVE HIS BLUSTERY
THREAT CREEDENCE.
WE'RE GOING TO GO FORWARD, PERIOD.
>> Stephen: SENATOR, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
>> NICE TO BE HERE WITH YOU, STEPHEN
SENATE MAJORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING ACTOR
JARED LETO.
WELCOME BACK.
MY NEXT GUEST TONIGHT IS THE FRONT MAN OF "30 SECONDS TO
MARS" AND AN ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING ACTOR FROM "DALLAS
BUYERS CLUB" AND "SUICIDE SQUAD."
HE RECEIVED A GOLDEN GLOBE AND SAG NOMINATION FOR HIS
PERFORMANCE IN HIS NEW FILM, "THE LITTLE THINGS."
>> CAN I HELP YOU.
>> I SAW THE FOR SALE SIGN.
>> THAT WAS FOR ANOTHER CAR.
>> GOT A LOT OF MILES ON IT.
YOU A SALESMAN.
HOW IS THE TRUNK SPACE?
>> STANDARD.
>> MIND IF I TAKE A LOOK?
I'M IN THE MARKET.
>> IT'S NOT FOR SALE.
>> ALL I NEED TO DO IS TAKE A LOOK.
>> YOU MUST REALLY LIKE MY CAR.
>> I DO.
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME TO "A LATE SHOW JARED LETO.
HI, JARED?
>> HEY, THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
>> Stephen: SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU HERE.
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME.
>> YOU PLAYED THAT CLIP, I WAS THINKING IT MUST BE SUCH A
STRANGE THING TO WATCH ON THE SHOW BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH
SILENCE.
AND PEOPLE ARE LIKE OKAY, WHAT IS GO COMING NEXT.
>> Stephen: AFTER A YEAR OF COVID, I'M USED TO SILENCE.
I GOT SILENCE FOR DAYS AROUND HERE.
THE-- WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THAT CLIP AND WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOUR
PERFORMANCE IS THAT YOU HAVE A QUIET CALM IN SOME OF YOUR
PERFORMANCE THAT HAS THIS MENACING QUALITY BY ITS
CALMNESS.
YOU KNOW, LIKE EVEN THOUGH YOU LOOK LIKE A BEDRAG ELED GIFTER
THERE, THERE IS AN EDUCATED CALM TO WHAT YOU ARE DOING THIS IS AN
ODD JUXTAPOSITION BY HOW YOU LOOK THAT MAKES YOU EVEN MORE
MENACING.
>> YEAH, HE IS-- IT WAS A REALLY INTENSE EXPERIENCE.
I MEAN I WAS IN HEAVEN BECAUSE I HAPPENED TO BE JUST A MASSIVE
DENZEL WASHINGTON FAN.
>> Stephen: GET IN LINE, MAN, I'M A HUGE DENZEL WASHINGTON
FAN.
>> SO FOR ME IT WAS A MASTER CLASS IN ACTING.
AND HE IS JUST ONE OF MY HEROES, SO TO GO HEAD-TO-HEAD WITH HIM
WAS JUST ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY FOR ME.
BUT YOU KNOW, THE PART WAS REALLY, I ORIGINALLY SAID NO TO
IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT, I HAD BEEN ON THE DARKER SIDE OF THE
UNIVERSAL QUITE A FEW TIMES.
BUT WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DIRECTOR I THOUGHT MAYBE THERE IS
SOMETHING HERE, MAYBE THERE IS A TRANSFORMATIVE OPPORTUNITY TO DO
SOMETHING I HADN'T DONE BEFORE.
SO GLAD I DID IT.
>> Stephen: THIS TIME IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER
INTERVIEWED YOU.
YOU HAVE BEEN ON THE SHOW WITH YOUR BAND.
AND I TALKED ABOUT YOU ON THE SHOW.
IN FACT, ALMOST EXACTLY, EXACTLY ONE YEAR AGO TODAY MARCH
18th, 2020, I TALKED ABOUT YOU IN MY MONOLOGUE AND, JIM,
LET'S PLAY THIS CLIP.
>> CORONAVIRUS HAS BEEN THE ONLY THING ON ANYONE'S MIND FOR
WEEKS.
BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST FINDING OUT ABOUT IT NOW.
LIKE JARED LETO, THIS IS TRUE, WHO ONLY YESTERDAY BECAME AWARE
OF CORONAVIRUS AFTER RETURNING FROM A 12 DAY ISOLATED
MEDITATION TRIP.
MAN, IT MUST SUCK TO RETURN FROM ISOLATION ONLY TO HAVE TO FIND
OUT YOU HAVE TO GO BACK INTO ISOLATION.
DID YOU REALLY NOT KNOW ABOUT THE PANDEMIC AT ALL.
>> NO, IT WAS THE WEIRDEST THING BECAUSE, AND IT IS TRUE.
I WENT FROM ISOLATION TO ISOLATION, I WENT FROM LOCKDOWN
TO LOCKDOWN.
BUT IT WAS JUST BIZARRE TIME WHERE YOU KNOW, WE FORGET HOW
QUICKLY THIS HAPPENED.
BUT WHEN I WENT IN THERE, THERE WAS 150 CASES IN AMERICA.
AND ONE DEATH, I THINK THE FIRST DEATH IN SEATTLE IN A NURSING
HOME, SADLY.
AND THEN JUST IN THOSE 12 DAYS, BY THE LAST DAY WE WERE THERE,
THERE WAS THIS STATE OF EMERGENCY AND A SHUTDOWN IN
L.A., PEOPLE WORKING FROM HOME.
SO IT REALLY JUST IN THAT SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.
AND WE DIDN'T HAVE PHONES.
WE DIDN'T HAVE NEWS.
WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY OF THAT.
SO BUT YEAH, YOU KNOW, IT WAS A WILD WAY TO GET THRUST INTO THE
PANDEMIC.
>> Stephen: HOW MANY MESSAGES DID YOU HAVE ON YOUR PHONE WHEN
YOU CAME OUT.
BECAUSE I IMAGINE PEOPLE MUST HAVE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT NOT
BEING ABLE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU DURING A CRISIS?
>> YEAH, IT WAS STRANGE.
I HAD A COUPLE THOUSAND MESSAGES FOR SURE.
AND I REMEMBER I WENT TO THE MEDITATION TEACHER AFTER.
THEY TOLD US ON THE 11th DAY, AND THEY KNEW IT WAS
HAPPENING THE WHOLE TIME BUT THEY MADE A DECISION TO LIKE LET
US BE IN, YOU KNOW, DO WHATEVER WE ARE DOING.
AND I WENT TO THE GUY AND I SAID DON'T YOU THINK MAYBE WE SHOULD
JUST CALL IT, THROW IN THE TOWEL NOW AND GO HOME.
LIKE CHECK ON THEM, THINGS, YOU KNOW, HE IS LIKE WELL, IF YOU
WANT TO DO THAT, YOU COULD.
OR YOU COULD JUST SIT.
>> Stephen: WELL, BEING ENCOURAGED TO JUST SIT WASN'T
SUCH A BAD THING BECAUSE THOSE OF US WHO WERE NOT IN THE
MEDITATION CENTER WERE JUST SITTING.
WELL, NOW I-- YOU ARE ZOOMING IN FROM FAR AWAY TONIGHT, AREN'T
SNU WHERE ARE YOU ARE, JARED.
>> I'M A LAKE COMO IN ITALY.
>> Stephen: OVER IN ITALY LOOKING LIKE THIS.
HERE YOU ARE, YOU ARE PORTRAYING PAOLO GUCCI WHILE YOU ARE
FILMING HOUSE OF GUCCI.
MY GOOD LORD, I DON'T THINK JABA THE HUT WENT THROUGH THAT MUCH
MAKEUP EVERY DAY, GO BACK, PUT THAT BACK UP AGAIN, JIM, AT
LEAST THE SUIT IS FLATTERING.
SO THE MAN I'M INTERVIEWING RIGHT NOW, THAT MAN RIGHT THERE
WITH THE BANDANA LOOKS LIKE THAT AT THE END OF HIS MAKEUP DAY?
HOW LONG, JARED LETO?
>> PURPLE IS VERY SLIMMING, YOU KNOW.
>> Stephen: CORD ROY IS VERY FLATTERING.
>> YEAH, IT MAKES YOU VERY SVELT.
YEAH, A TOTAL TRANSFORMATION.
I SI IN THE MAKEUP CHAIR, WE'RE DOING, START ABOUT 4:00 IN THE
MORNING AND TAKES ABOUT FIVE HOURS, THAT IS WHY I AM A LITTLE
LOOPY RIGHT NOW.
>> Stephen: I WANT TO ASK YOU TODAY, MARCH 18th IS ALSO
THE DAY THAT SNYDER CUT WAS RELEASED.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: AND ONE OF THE FIRST HEADLINES THAT LEAPT OUT
TO ME IS HOW THIS IS, NOT MY WORDS BUT THE HEADLINES WORDS,
THIS IS REDEMPTION FOR JARED LETO'S JOKER, LIKE THIS EXPANDS
THAT CHARACTER IN REALLY INTERESTING WAYS.
HOW IS IT, HAVE YOU SEEN THE CUT AND IF SO, HOW DO YOU THINK THIS
JOKER IS DIFFERENT FROM THE JOKER THAT WE SAW BEFORE IN
SUICIDE SQUAD?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS LOVE ZACK SNYDER AND I THINK THAT THE
STORY BEHIND THIS SNYDER CUT IS REALLY KIND OF ONE FOR THE AGES.
OF WHAT HAPPENED AROUND HIM, KIND OF NOT FINISHING THE FIRST
FILM AND YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY WEARING THIS SHIRT.
WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY WHICH WAS AN AD-LIB THAT I THREW OUT ON
THE DAY SHOOTING IT, IT ENDED UP IN THE TRAILER AND KIND OF WENT
VIRAL.
AND WE ARE SELLING THESE ON MY BAND'S WEBSITE 30 SECONDS TO
MARS.COM AND THE PROFITS ARE TBG TO THE AMERICAN FOUNDATION FOR
SUICIDE PREVENTION.
AND I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THIS STORY ABOUT ZACK AND HOW
DEEP IT RUNS.
BUT I WAS JUST HAPPY TO BE A PART OF HIS DREAM AND TO GET
ASKED TO PLAY THE JOKER FOR A SECOND TIME WAS JUST A TREAT.
IT IS ONE OF THOSE ROLES THAT IS JUST INCREDIBLE.
>> Stephen: WE'VE GOT THIS, HERE, TWO ITERATIONS, SUICIDE
SQUAD AND HERE IS ONE OF THE RELEASED IMAGES FROM THE SNYDER
CUT.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO PEOPLE OR IS IT JUST A
CONTINUUM OF THE SAME CHARACTER?
>> WELL, I THINK IT IS AN EVOLUTION.
YOU KNOW, THERE IS SOME YEARS APART AND YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY
DIFFERENT DIRECTORS.
WHEN YOU COLLABORATE WITH SOMEBODY AS WELL, THEY BRING OUT
DIMP, JUST LIKE EVERY GUEST YOU HAVE BRINGS OUT A DIFFERENT SIDE
OR A DIFFERENT JOKE OR A DIFFERENT ENERGY.
AND WHEN YOU WORK WITH A DIFFERENT DIRECTOR YOU BRING OUT
DIFFERENT THINGS.
OR THEY BRING OUT DIFFERENT THINGS IN YOU.
SO I LOVED WORKING WITH HIM.
I LOVED HIS PASSION.
HE KNOWS MORE ABOUT THIS WORLD THAN ALMOST ANYBODY
"THE LITTLE THINGS" IS PLAYING IN THEATERS NOW AND AVAILABLE ON
DEMAND TOMORROW.
JARED LETO, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH A PERFORMANCE BY LANCO.
>> HE WAS PRETTY MUCH FED UP, AT THE END OF HIS ROPE AND
YESTERDAY WAS A REALLY BAD DAY FOR HIM, AND THIS IS WHAT HE
DID.
>> I KNOW THE BOYS WANT TO SEND THE MURDER THIS ARRANGEMENT
AFTER, THIS YOU DESCRIBED IT BAS DAY, I'M NOT COMFORTABLE DOING
IT BECAUSE IT MAKES THE MURDER SEEM LIKE THE VICTIM AT SOME
LEVEL AS OPPOSED TO YOU KNOW, THE VICTIMS.
SO THREE OR FOUR HOURS POOP IN YOURS.
