HELLO! HAPPY TUESDAY.
HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO, HELLO.
HELLO, ONE AND ALL. WECOME, EVERYBODY, WELCOME,
EVERYBODY, TO "THE LATE SHOW." I AM YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT.
( APPLAUSE ) WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT
TONIGHT, SO STRAP IN. I WANTED TO BEGIN TONIGHT'S SHOW
TALKING ABOUT THE MET GALA AND THEIR THEME OF "THE GLAMOUR OF
THE GILDED AGE." INSTEAD, I'VE GOT TO TALK ABOUT
ANOTHER GROUP OF OUT-OF-TOUCH PEOPLE IN CRAZY OUTFITS
PRETENDING THAT IT'S 1895: THE SUPREME COURT.
BECAUSE LAST NIGHT, WE FOUND OU OUT--
( APPLAUSE ) STRAP IN.
>> Stephen: LAST NIGHT, WE FOUND OUT, ACCORDING TO A LEAKED
DRAFT OF THE MAJORITY OPINION, THE SUPREME COURT HAS VOTED TO
OVERTURN "ROE V. WADE." WHEN I HEARD THIS LAST NIGHT, AT
FIRST I WAS SHOCKED. THEN I WAS SHOCKED THAT I WAS
SHOCKED. YOU SEE, I'M NO ANGELA LANSBURY,
AND THIS ISN'T CABOT COVE, BUT KEEN-EYED OBSERVERS MAY HAVE
NOTICED THEY'VE BEEN DROPPING A FEW HINTS, A FEW CLUES THAT
THIS MIGHT BE COMING DOWN THE PIKE.
PERSONALLY, I GOT SUSPICIOUS WHEN NEIL GORSUCH STOPPED
WEARING HIS PUSSY HAT. ( LAUGHTER )
DISPENSE WITH HALF A CENTURY OF PRECEDENT, WAS WRITTEN BY
ASSOCIATE JUSTICE SAMUEL ALITO, SEEN HERE HOPING NOBODY NOTICES
HE JUST DROPPED AN OPINION IN HIS ROBE.
( LAUGHTER ) ALITO WRITES, "WE HOLD THAT
'ROE' AND 'CASEY' MUST BE OVERRULED.
A RIGHT TO ABORTION IS NOT DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE NATION'S
HISTORY AND TRADITIONS." ON THE CONTRARY, AN UNBROKEN
TRADITION OF PROHIBITING ABORTION ON PAIN OF CRIMINAL
PUNISHMENT PERSISTED FROM THE EARLIEST DAYS OF THE COMMON
LAW." BECAUSE NOTHING SAYS "LOOKING
TOWARD THE FUTURE" LIKE ADHERING TO THE EARLIEST DAYS OF
COMMON LAW. THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE THAT LIFE
BEGINS AT WHITE, LAND-OWNING MALE, AND WHY HORSES WHO READ
SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR WITCH-MISCHIEF.
ALITO STRANGELY ARGUES THAT OVERTURNING "ROE" IS ABOUT
BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER, WRITING, "'ROE' AND 'CASEY' HAVE
ENFLAMED DEBATE AND DEEPENED DIVISION."
SO HE THINKS THIS DECISION WILL MAKE THOSE DIVISIONS...
BETTER? "AND NOW, TO MEND A BROKEN
NATION BY PULLING THE HEALING PIN FROM THIS JUSTICE GRENADE,
AAAND... KABOOM-BAYA."
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
JUSTICES BELIEVE THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE FOR THE COURTS.
ALITO WRITES: "IT IS TIME TO HEED THE CONSTITUTION AND
RETURN THE ISSUE OF ABORTION TO THE PEOPLE'S ELECTED
REPRESENTATIVES." YES, IT IS TIME TO RETURN THIS
ISSUE TO THE GUY WHO VENMO'S TEENAGERS FOR SEX AND THE
WOMAN WHO BELIEVES IN JEWISH SPACE LASERS, AS THE FOUNDERS
INTENDED. OF COURSE, BACK THEN, THERE WERE
NO LASERS. THEY THOUGHT THE RABBIS WERE
ERECTING MAGNIFYING GLASSES ON TOP OF CHURCH STEEPLES.
ALITO TRIES TO DODGE THE CONTROVERSY HERE, WRITING, "WE
DO NOT PRETEND TO KNOW HOW OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM OR SOCIETY WILL
RESPOND TO TODAY'S DECISION OVERRULING 'ROE' AND 'CASEY.'"
OKAY, BUT IT SURE SEEMS LIKE SOMEONE KNEW HOW SOCIETY WAS
GOING TO RESPOND, SINCE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RULING WAS
LEAKED, POLICE SURROUNDED THE SUPREME COURT WITH BARRICADES.
"UH, THESE BARRICADES? NO, THERE'S NO PROBLEM.
WE JUST PUT THEM UP TO STOP CLARENCE THOMAS' FANS FROM
HUGGING HIM. THOSE CLARE BEARS ARE OUT OF
CONTROL. THEY'RE JUST-- GOTTA KEEP THEM
BACK." ( APPLAUSE )
NOT THAT ALITO GIVES A DAMN WHAT YOU THINK.
HE WRITES, "WE CANNOT ALLOW OUR DECISIONS TO BE AFFECTED BY ANY
EXTRANEOUS INFLUENCES, SUCH AS CONCERN ABOUT THE PUBLIC'S
REACTION TO OUR WORK." SURPRISINGLY HE WAS JOINED BY
CLARENCE THOMAS, BRETT KAVANAUGH, AND AMY COMEY
BARRETT. CONGRATULATIONS, LADY, YOUR
DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE BY FOUR DUDES.
AND A WOMAN WHO THINKS "THE HANDMAID'S
TALE" IS A ROM-COM. THIS DRAFT DECISION IS SCATHING.
AT ONE POINT, ALITO WRITES, "'ROE' WAS EGREGIOUSLY WRONG
FROM THE START." NOW, I'M NOT A LAWYER.
I CAN'T TELL YOU IF "ROE" WAS RIGHTLY DECIDED.
BUT I CAN TELL YOU IT'S AN IMPORTANT PRECEDENT THAT HAS
BEEN REPEATEDLY REAFFIRMED. AND THAT'S NOT MY OPINION.
IT'S THE OPINION OF THESE CLOWNS:
>> "ROE V. WADE" IS AN IMPORTANT PRECEDENT OF THE SUPREME COURT.
>> "ROE V. WADE" CLEARLY HELD THAT THE CONSTITUTION PROTECTED
A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE A PREGNANCY.
>> THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES HAS HELD IN
"ROE V. WADE" THAT A FETUS IS NOT A PERSON FOR PURPOSES OF THE
14th AMENDMENT. THAT'S THE LAW OF THE LAND.
I ACCEPT THE LAW OF THE LAND. >> IT'S SETTLED AS A PRECEDENT
OF THE SUPREME COURT. >> Stephen: WAIT A SECOND.
SO KAVANAUGH WAS TALKING OUT OF HIS ASS!
THAT CAN'T BE EASY WITH ALL THAT BEER HE BOOFED.
HAUGH LAUGH SO, SO-- ( APPLAUSE )
"ROE V. WADE" WAS SO EGREGIOUSLY DECIDED, WHY DIDN'T
THEY TELL THE SENATORS THAT DURING THEIR CONFIRMATION
HEARINGS? BECAUSE AMERICAN VOTERS SUPPORT
ABORTION IN ALL OR MOST CASES AT 80%.
THEY KNEW THAT IF THEY WERE HONEST, THEY WOULDN'T GET THE
JOB, SO THEY LIED, WHICH I THINK IS PERJURY.
BUT WHAT DO I KNOW? I'M NO SUPREME COURT JUSTICE.
I'M NOT A GOOD ENOUGH LIAR. ( LAUGHTER )
OF THESE PEOPLE-- ( APPLAUSE )
ABORTION CONTINUES TO BE A CONTENTIOUS ISSUE FOR MANY
PEOPLE, AND PEOPLE CAN HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS ABOUT
ABORTION. BUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING HERE WAS
ALL FIVE OF THESE PEOPLE PLAYED "THE GAME," WHERE THEY PRETEND
THEY HADN'T ALREADY MADE UP THEIR MINDS HOPING EVERYONE
WOULD BELIEVE THEM, WHICH YOU'D HAVE TO BE AN IDIOT TO DO.
ENTER MAINE SENATOR AND LIVE
ACTION "LADY ELAINE," SUSAN COLLINS.
COLLINS, WHO SAYS SHE SUPPORTS ABORTION RIGHTS, CAUGHT A LOT OF
PEOPLE MAD AT HER IN 2018, WHEN SHE SUPPORTED BRETT
KAVANAUGH, EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE KNEW HE WOULD NOT
HESITATE TO OVERTURN "ROE." HERE'S HER AT THE TIME:
>> I DO NOT BELIEVE BRETT KAVANAUGH WILL OVERTURN.
"ROE V. WADE." >> YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY FULL
CONFIDENCE? >> I DO.
>> Stephen: OOOOH, GOTCHA, SUSAN COLLINS!
NOW YOU'RE DEFINITELY NOT GETTING REELECTED IN 2020!
SHE WHAT? THIS MORNING, COLLINS RELEASED A
STATEMENT SAYING, "IF THIS LEAKED DRAFT OPINION IS THE
FINAL DECISION AND THIS REPORTING IS ACCURATE, IT WOULD
BE COMPLETELY INCONSISTENT WITH WHAT JUSTICE GORSUCH AND JUSTICE
KAVANAUGH SAID IN THEIR HEARINGS AND IN OUR MEETINGS IN MY
OFFICE." OKAY, SO SHE'S JUST ANOTHER
GULLIBLE GRANDMA: "I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY'D
LIE! WE PINKY SWORE IN MY OFFICE.
THIS IS JUST LIKE THE TIME MY NIECE SENT ME THAT EMAIL SAYING
SHE WAS STRANDED IN GUADALAJARA AND NEEDED MONEY TO GET OUT OF
JAIL, SO I SENT HER $10,000, AND THEN I FOUND OUT I DON'T EVEN
HAVE A NIECE. I HOPE SHE'S OKAY.
I'M SO CONCERNED. MAYBE IF I SEND THE MONEY TO
THAT NICE NIGERIAN PRINCE, HE CAN GET IT TO HER."
NOW, KEEP IN MIND-- ( APPLAUSE )
THAT WAS A SCENE. >> Jon: THAT'S A SCENE.
SCENE IS DONE. >> Stephen: AND CURTAIN.
KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS RULING HASN'T GONE INTO EFFECT YET,
BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE COURT'S HISTORY, THE FIRST
DRAFT OF A PENDING DECISION HAS BEEN LEAKED TO THE PUBLIC.
ORIGINALLY, THE COURT'S OPINION WAS NOT EXPECTED UNTIL THE FINAL
DAY OF ITS TERM, IN JUNE OR JULY.
THAT'S COURAGE. "WELL, THERE IT IS, THE OPINION
I'VE BEEN WORKING ON MY WHOLE LIFE, AND THE ONLY REASON THE
FEDERALIST SOCIETY PUT ME ON THE SUPREME COURT IS FINALLY
COMPLETE. AMERICA SAVED.
NOW GET IN THE CAR AND FLOOR IT, JAMES!
I'LL SHOOT IT OUT A T-SHIRT CANNON!
I'M SO PROUD! DRIVE!
THEY'RE ON TO US! GO, GO!"
CHIEF REPORTS -- ( APPLAUSE )
NOT AMUSED BY THE LEAK, SAYING, "THIS WAS A SINGULAR AND
EGREGIOUS BREACH OF THAT TRUST THAT IS AN AFFRONT TO THE COURT
AND THE COMMUNITY OF PUBLIC SERVANTS WHO WORK HERE."
I DON'T BLAME HIM FOR BEING UPSET.
THIS LEAK IS A CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE COURT'S RIGHT TO PRIVACY.
HOW DARE SOMEONE MAKE THIS DECISION FOR THEM.
NOW BECAUSE, BECAUSE, BECAUSE, BECAUSE "ROE V. WADE" WAS
DECIDED ON THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY, SOME FOLKS WORRY THAT
DISMANTLING "ROE" COULD ENDANGER OTHER PRIVACY RULINGS LIKE GAY
RIGHTS, ACCESS TO CONTRACEPTIVES, AND EVEN
INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE. BUT ALITO TRIED TO REASSURE THE
NATION, WRITING, "OUR DECISION CONCERNS THE CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHT TO ABORTION, AND NO OTHER RIGHT.
NOTHING IN THIS OPINION SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD TO CAST DOUBT ON
PRECEDENTS THAT DO NOT CONCERN ABORTION."
AND YOU CAN 100% BELIEVE THAT THESE FIVE JUSTICES WILL HONOR
THAT PROMISE. I MEAN, THAT'S PRECEDENT, RIGHT,
BRETT KAVANAUGH? >> IT'S SETTLED AS A PRECEDENT
OF THE SUPREME COURT. >> Stephen: WELL, (BLEEP).
WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW ARE FOR YOU TONIGHT.
MY GUESTS ARE JOSE ANDRES AND RON HOWARD.
BUT WHEN WE COME BACK, I'LL BREAK DOWN THE IMPACT OF THE

FIRST GUEST IS A STAFF WRITER FOR "THE NEW YORK TIMES
MAGAZINE," CO-HOST OF THE "SLATE'S POLITICAL GABFEST," AND
A LECTURER AT YALE LAW SCHOOL. PLEASE WELCOME EMILY BAZELON!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> THANK YOU.
GOOD TO SEE YOU, TOO. >> Stephen: I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THIS, YOU KNOW, THIS LEAK OF THIS INITIAL DRAFT OPINION.
BEFORE WE DO ANY OF THAT, WHAT'S-- WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL
ABOUT THE FACT THAT THIS WAS LEAKED?
PEOPLE ARE FREAKING OUT ABOUT IT.
EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THAT'S SO IMPORTANT.
>> I MEAN, IT'S REALLY, IN OUR MODERN HISTORY, HAS NEVER
HAPPENED BEFORE. >> Stephen: AND MODERN
STARTS... >> MODERN STARTS, SAY, THE
20th CENTURY. >> Stephen: OKAY.
>> WE HAVEN'T HAD A MAJOR CASE HAVE A DRAFT LEAK EARLY AT A
STAGE WHERE WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHETHER THERE'S A FIRM MAJORITY
FOR IT. WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT
MEANS. BUT WE CAN SEE ALL THE REASONING
THAT JUSTICE SAMUEL ALITO IS LAYING OUT FOR OVERTURNING "ROE
V. WADE." >> Stephen: TODAY, ROBERTS
SAID THIS IS THE REAL DEAL. THIS IS ACTUALLY THERE.
BUT, OF COURSE, THAT'S NOT THE FINAL OPINION.
THINGS COULD CHANGE. TWO THINGS.
ONE IS... COULD SOME OF THESE VOTES
CHANGE? DO WE KNOW IN THE PAST THAT FROM
THE FIRST VOTE TO THE LAST VOTE, VOTES WILL CHANGE?
>> VOTES CAN ABSOLUTELY CHANGE. THIS IS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER
RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, THEY CAN RIP IT UP AND
THROW IT AWAY AND START OVER. AND CERTAINLY IT HAS BEEN TRUE
IN SOME BIG CASES LIKE OBAMACARE, WHERE JUSTICES HAVE
CHANGED THEIR VOTES DURING THIS PROCESS OF DRAFTING AND REVISING
OPINIONS. >> Stephen: LIKE ROBERTS.
EVERYBODY THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO VOTE TO GET RID OF IT.
>> EXACTLY. SO, SURE, IT COULD HAPPEN.
HOWEVER, THIS IS A REALLY STRONG CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY OF FIVE
JUSTICES, WHO WERE ESSENTIALLY PUT ON THE COURT-- THIS IS THEIR
MISSION TO END THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO TO
ABORTION. THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THEY'RE
DOING THERE. >> Stephen: WHO-- WHO-- IS
THERE SPECULATION WHO MIGHT HAVE DONE IT?
WHO BENEFITS FROM THIS HAVING HAPPENED?
>> SOMEBODY WHO WANTS TO DAMAGE THE COURT'S REPUTATION, I THINK.
THIS IS BAD FOR THE COURT -- >> Stephen: NOT JUST CHANGE--
BUT LITERALLY TO DAMAGE THE COURT'S REPUTATION.
THIS IS WHY YOU WOULD DO THIS? >> I THINK THAT'S ONE REASON.
IT MAKES THE COURT LOOK LIKE ANY OTHER PART OF WASHINGTON--
LEAKY, A BUNCH OF HACKS. THE OTHER THING YOU MIGHT
IMAGINE IS A LIBERAL WANTS TO EMBARRASS THE COURT, SHAKE UP
THE COUNTRY, MAKE THEM THINK THERE WILL BE A BIG BACKLASH IF
THEY OVERTURN "ROE." BUT IT COULD BE SOMEONE ON THE
RIGHT WANTING TO MAKE SURE NONE OF THE FIVE VOTES IN THE
MAJORITY CHANGE THEIR MINDS. >> Stephen: YOU LOCK THEM IN
BY MAKING IT PUBLIC. >> LOCK THEM IN.
NOW IT WILL BE CLEAR WHO GOT SPOOKED AND LOST THEIR NERVE.
>> Stephen: LET'S GET BACK TO THEY WERE PUT ON THE COURT FOR
THIS MOMENT RIGHT NOW. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE
CONFIRMATION HEARINGS. I WAS TALKING ABOUT IT BEFORE.
IT SEEMS LIKE THESE FIVE JUSTICES, WHEN THEY WERE
APPOINTED EVERYBODY KNEW THAT THEY WEREN'T TELLING THE TRUTH
ABOUT THEIR OPINIONS ABOUT "ROE V. WADE."
THE PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T WANT THEM TO BE THERE BELIEVED THAT THEY
WERE LYING AND WERE MAD ABOUT IT.
THE PEOPLE WHO WANTED THEM TO BE THERE KNEW THAT THEY WERE LYING
BUT WERE GLAD THEY WERE LYING SO THEY COULD GET ON THE COURT
BECAUSE IT'S AN UNTENABLE POSITION TO TAKE IN THE
CONFIRMATION HEARINGS. YES OR NO?
>> I THINK CONFIRMATION HEARINGS --
>> Stephen: I SAID YES OR NO, SENATOR.
>> YES. >> Stephen: I GUESS MY
QUESTION IS, ARE CONFIRMATION HEARINGS LESS THAN USELESS NOW?
>> YEAH. I THINK THEY'RE LESS THAN
USELESS. I THINK THEY'RE MISLEADING
PEOPLE, ACTUALLY. YES.
( APPLAUSE ) OUT TO YOU ABOUT ALITO'S
ARGUMENTS? >> WELL, SO, UP UNTIL NOW, "ROE"
AND "CASEY," THIS LATER DECISION THAT AFFIRMED IT, HAVE BEEN
BASED ON THE IDEA THAT THERE'S A RIGHT TO PRIVACY, AND ALSO THAT
THE CONSTITUTION PROTECTS OUR LIBERTY.
AND THE REASONING WAS THAT TO REALLY BE FREE AND EQUAL, WOMEN
HAVE TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THEIR OWN BODIES AND WHEN THEY HAVE A
BABY. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: THAT'S AN EQUAL PROTECTION ARGUMENT, THOUGH.
>> IT'S A LIBERTY INTEREST ARGUMENT.
>> Stephen: OKAY, YEAH. >> ALITO DOESN'T AGREE WITH ANY
OF THAT. AND ONE OF THE RATIONALES HE
GIVES FOR NOT AGREEING IS THAT WOMEN ARE ACTUALLY IN A BETTER
POSITION, HE SAYS, NOW, THAN THEY WERE WHEN "ROE" WAS DECIDED
IN 1973. WE HAVE MORE PROTECTIONS AGAINST
DISCRIMINATION, AND SO, THAT IS PART OF HIS ARGUMENT THAT THIS
IS NO LONGER A LIBERTY INTEREST, THAT THE COURT NEEDS TO PROTECT.
YOU CAN JUST GIVE IT OVER TO THE STATES.
>> Stephen: SO IF PRIVACY IS NOT INHERENT IN THE
CONSTITUTION, WHAT DOES THAT AFFECT?
WHAT OTHER RULINGS COULD THAT AFFECT?
IS THAT OGERFULL, GAY MARRIAGE, OR LOVING V. VIRGINIA.
>> IF YOU GO BACK TO THE IDEA IF IT'S NOT WRITTEN DOWN IN THE
CONSTITUTION IT'S UP FOR GRABS NOW.
YES, IT DOESN'T SAY SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IN THE CONSTITUTION.
AND IT DOESN'T EVEN SAY WE CAN MARRY ACROSS RACIAL LINES IN THE
CONSTITUTION. THOSE ARE IDEAS BASED ON THE
INTEREST AND LIBERTY AND EQUALITY, BUT THEY'RE NOT IN THE
TEXT. SO IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ONCE YOU
START SHAKING THE FOUNDATION OF WHAT COUNTS AS PRIVACY AND
LIBERTY AND EQUALITY, THAT THESE OTHER REALLY IMPORTANT DECISIONS
IN AMERICAN LIFE COULD ALSO BE TOPPLED.
ALITO SAYS THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY'RE DOING, BUT HE IS OPENING
THE DOOR. >> Stephen: YES, AND THEY ALL
SAID IT WAS, YOU KNOW, EITHER SETTLED OR IMPORTANT PRECEDENT.
>> YES. >> Stephen: SO THERE'S NO
REASON TO BELIEVE THEM IF THEY SAY THE SKY IS BLUE, YOU SHOULD
GO CHECK. >> SETTLED LAW.
IT'S SETTLED UNTIL IT'S NOT SETTLED ANYMORE.
>> Stephen: YOU ARE ALSO ONE OF THE HOSTS OF "SLATE POLITICAL
GAB FEST." LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT THE
POLITICAL IMPLIKSES OF THIS COULD BE.
THE WORD "BENEFIT" ISN'T EXACTLY RIGHT, BUT WHO DOES THIS
MOTIVATE TO GET TO THE POLLS IN THE MIDTERMS?
OR DOES IT DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE THAT CALCULUS?
>> I THINK IT WILL STIR AMERICANS.
I THINK IT WILL STIR AMERICANS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE POLITICAL
DIVIDE, RIGHT. SO DEMOCRATIC VOTERS ARE GOING
TO THINK, THIS IS REALLY A HUGE CHANGE.
I MEAN, WE COULD HAVE ABORTION BE ILLEGAL IN 20 STATES BEFORE
THE ELECTION IN NOVEMBER. >> Stephen: WHEN WOULD THAT
KICK IN? IF THE RULING COMES OUT AT THE
END OF JUNE? >> RIGHT, OR THEY COULD DO IT
SOONER AT THIS POINT. SO, YOU KNOW, THE CLOCK IS
REALLY TICKING. I SHOULD SAY, ABORTION IS STILL
LEGAL RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THIS OPINION IS NOT FINAL.
BUT IT COULD HAPPEN QUICKLY. AND SO THEN YOU COULD SEE
DEMOCRATS-- THERE'S ALREADY TALK FROM THE SENATE LEADERS ABOUT
INTRODUCING FEDERAL LEGISLATION THAT WOULD IN SOME WAY PROTECT
ABORTION. THE FILIBUSTER IS A BIG PROBLEM
FOR THAT. AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE
REPUBLICANS VERY GALVANIZED TO PASS STATE-BY-STATE LEVEL
RESTRICTIONS IN THE STATES THAT THEY CONTROL AND THAT IS A LOT
OF STATES. >> Stephen: EMILY, THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU FOR
COMING IN AND PUTTING THIS IN PERSPECTIVE FOR US.

GOOD INTENTIONS AND A CREDIT CARD, AND THAT WAS ABOUT IT,
INTO AN ORGANIZATION WHICH HITS THE GROUND IN DISASTER AREAS--
NOW THEY'RE IN THE UKRAINE-- AND MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE, SIMPLY

>> Stephen: JOSE, LET'S GET TO THAT FOR A MOMENT.
WHAT WAS THE MOMENT THAT THE IDEA OF WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN
FIRST CAME TO YOU? WHAT WAS THE IMPETUS?
>> I THINK THE MOMENT BEGAN REALLY IN THE MOMENTES OF
INACTION, WATCHING WHAT HAPPENED IN KATRINA, WHEN HE IT THOUSANDS
OF AMERICAN CITIZENS AT THE SUPERDOME, AND IT SEEMED NOBODY
WAS THERE FEEDING THEM, BRINGING THEM WATER, BRINGING THEM HOPE.
I THINK I GOT TIRED OF WATCHING THROUGH TV IN THE COMFORT OF MY
HOME, THAT ACTUALLY, BIG PROBLEMS THEY HAVE VERY SIMPLE
SOLUTIONS. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX EVERY
PROBLEM THAT WE FACE IN HUMANITY, BUT LET ME TELL YOU,
COOKS LIKE ME, FOOD WE KNOW. SO, IF WE START SHOWING UP, CAN
WE BRING RELIEF? THAT'S HOW IT BEGAN.

ARE THOSE PEOPLE OKAY? AND IS YOUR TEAM OKAY?
>> YEAH, THAT WAS A HUGE MISSILE.
IT STRIKED, IT DESTROYED A BIG BUILDING AND EVERYTHING
SURROUNDING THE BUILDING. THE KITCHEN, WE WERE NOT ABLE TO
USE IT ANYMORE. A COUPLE OF PEOPLE DIED ON THAT
STRIKE ALONE. LIKE EVERY DAY THAT SOMEBODY
SEEMS TO BE DYING. THE MEMBERS OF THE KITCHEN, THEY
WERE OKAY. WE HAD FOUR WOUNDED, BUT THIS IS
THE AMAZING THING ABOUT UKRAUKRAINIANS -- OUR PARTNER AD
THEM, "WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KEEP DOING?"
THEY SAID, "WE WANT TO KEEP FIGHTING.
WE WANT TO KEEP COOKING." THEY MOVED ALL THE KITCHEN
EQUIPMENT INTO A BUNKER. THREE DAYS LATER, THEY WERE
COOKING 1,000 MEALS A DAY. THE FOUR WOUND READ OUT OF THE
HOSPITAL. AND ONE OF THE PERSONS BEGAN

QUICK BREAK. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE
JOSE ANDRES AND RON HOWARD. STICK AROUND.
( APPLAUSE ). WE'RE HERE WITH RON HOWARD AND
JOSE ANDRES WITH THE FILM "WE FEED PEOPLE."
RON, I UNDERSTAND IT WASN'T EASY TO CONVINCE JOSE TO BE THE
SUBJECT OF THIS FILM. HOW DID YOU EVENTUALLY CONVINCE
HIM? >> WELL, I HAD MET JOSE, AND I
HAD, YOU KNOW, HEARD HIS STORY A COUPLE OF TIMES.
I BEGAN TO FOLLOW WHAT HE WAS DOING WITH WORLD CENTRAL
KITCHEN. IT WAS AN EXCITING STORY.
I'VE BEEN, IN RECENT YEARS, MORE AND MORE FASCINATED WITH DOING
DOCUMENTARIES. ACTUALLY HE WAS IN A DOCUMENTARY
I MADE, CALLED "REBUILDING PARADISE."
HE WAS THERE. IT WAS ABOUT THE FIRE IN
PARADISE, CALIFORNIA, AND THAT WAS THE TRIGGER TO SAY I'M GOING
TO GO AHEAD AND COLLECT THE NERVE TO PURSUE JOSE ON THIS.
AND I DID. AND THE ANSWER WAS SORT OF LIKE,
( LAUGHS ) "NO.
I'M NOT READY," IS WHAT HE KEPT SAYING.
"I DON'T THINK I WANT TO DO THAT.
I DON'T WANT A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT MYSELF."
AND FINALLY, I WENT TO A FUND-RAISING EVENT FOR WORLD
CENTRAL KITCHEN HERE IN NEW YORK.
IT WAS A BIG, LARGE AFFAIR. IT WAS THE-- THE U.N. WAS IN
SESSION, AND IT WAS A REMARKABLE GATHERING.
HE GAVE ANOTHER GREAT, INSPIRING TALK.
AND I ASKED HIM ONE MORE TIME, AND HE TURNED AROUND, AND THERE
HAPPENED TO BE PHOTOS ON THE WALL, ABOUT 20 OF HIS KEY
PEOPLE, VOLUNTEERS. AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW, THAT'S
WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN. IT'S NOT ABOUT ME.
AND I'M AFRAID IF WE MAKE A MOVIE IT'S GOING TO TURN INTO --
YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO BECOME ABOUT ME.
I SAID, YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE SIGNIFICANT IN TOF COURSE.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE THE ALPHA VOLUNTEER.
BUT IT IS NMY MIND, ABOUT TEAM WORK AND VOLUNTEERISM AND THE
DIFFERENCE THAT THAT CAN MAKE. AND I SAID THAT IS THE MOVIE I
WANTED TO MAKE. AND HE BELIEVED ME.
AND I-- AND I THINK IT IS THE FILM THAT WE CAN OFFER AUDIENCE
S. >> Stephen: WHY DO YOU LIKE
TO MAKE DOCUMENTARIES NOW? IS IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO
DEAL WITH ACTORS? IS THAT WAY?
>> I'M BALANCING BOTH. I'VE GOT THEM BOTH GOING.

WORK BEHIND THE CAMERA ON SCRIPTED FILM AND TELEVISION

WONDERFUL TO BE ABLE TO MOVE BACK AND FORTH.
>> I WANT TO BE IN A MOVIE. >> HE'S BEEN HOUNDING ME.
HE'S BEEN HOUNDING ME. >> I MEAN...
>> Stephen: IT CAN HAPPEN, AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY IT CAN HAPPEN
IS BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS YOU LEARN IN THIS FILM IS YOU DON'T
BELIEVE IN IMPOSSIBLE. YOU BELIEVE-- YOU CAN NEVER

( APPLAUSE ). WE'RE BACK HERE WITH RON HOWARD
AND JOSE ANDRES. NOW, RON, ABOUT MAKING THIS
FILM, I UNDERSTAND, EVEN ONCE YOU CONVINCED JOSE THAT YOU
COULD MAKE THIS FILM ABOUT HIM AND WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN, YOU
HAD TROUBLE GETTING SOME OF YOUR FOOT ANNUAL FOR THE FILM.
WHAT HAPPENED? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, OUR TEAM
EMBEDDED WITH JOSE AND HIS KEY TAMMATES, IN NAVAJO NATION AND
HERE IN NEW YORK COVERING COVID, OTHER PLACES.
AND, YOU KNOW, I WAS OUTSIDE THE BUBBLING, SO I WAS NERVOUSLY,
YOU KNOW, I WAS REMOTING IN. I WAS TEXTING.
I WAS SAYING, "WHAT DID YOU SHOOT?
WHAT DID YOU-- WHAT DID YOU GET YESTERDAY?"
"WELL, WE COVERED SOMETHING IN THE MORNING."
"THAT WAS IT? THAT WAS ALL YOU DID?"
"WELL, YOU KNOW, THE TRUCKS NEEDED UNLOADING AND THERE WERE
JUST A LOT OF PEOPLE GATHERED AROUND, SO WE PUT THE CAMERA
DOWN." AND THAT'S THE SPIRIT OF IT.
IT'S-- YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST INFECTIOUS.
AND I HAD TO SORT OF SAY, HEY, HEY, DUDE.
I'M GLAD YOU PITCHED IN, BUT YOU'RE THERE TO TELL A STORY.
AND LET'S GET IT. THE OTHER BIT OF DIRECTION --
>> Stephen: SO YOU STOLE HIS CREW.
>> I MEAN, WE ARE ON A MISSION. WE NEED TO FEED PEOPLE.
HE'S LIKE, "HEY, YOU, PUT THE MIC DOWN.
PUT THE CAMERA DOWN." AND THAT'S THE BEAUT OF IT, THAT
EVERYBODY IS HANDS ON. >> Stephen: NOW, JOSE, WHAT
IS-- GIVE US A CALL FOR ACTION HERE.
HOW CAN PEOPLE HELP IN THEIR OWN WAY OR COLLECTIVELY?
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY TO THE PEOPLE.
>> THAT I REALIZED ESPECIALLY IN UKRAINE, EVERY ONE OF YOU, YOU
CAN BECOME YOUR OWN ORGANIZATION.
YOU DON'T NEED TO TRY TO FEED THE WORLD.
YOU CAN DO LITTLE THINGS, HELPING AN ELDERLY COUPLE IN THE
SUPERMARKET. MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN PUT THE
SHOPPING IN THE BACK OF THEIR CAR.
MAYBE PICKING UP, USE A PIECE OF PAPER TO KEEP-- MAYBE GOING IN
THE MIDDLE OF, LIKE IT'S HAPPENING IN UKRAINE, THAT
MUSICIANS ARE IN EVERY CORNER BRINGING HOPE TO PEOPLE JUST BY
PLAYING A SONG. YOU SEE EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM,
EVERYBODY IN AMERICA HAS A TALENT THAT IF YOU LOOK WITHIN,
YOU CAN PUT THAT TALENT TO BRING HOPE TO OTHERS.
WE CAN ALL BE PART, NOT ONLY OF FEEDING AMERICA AND FEEDING THE
WORLD, BUT BELIEVE IN LONGER TABLES, NO HIGHER WALLS.
TOGETHER WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD IF WE REALLY BELIEVE IN IT.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ). >> Stephen: RON, AFTER MAKING
THIS FILM... ( APPLAUSE )
THIS SUBJECT WITH JOSE AND WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN WHAT, DO YOU
WANT PEOPLE TO TAKE FROM THIS HIM?
>> WELL, I HOPE THAT THEY DO RECOGNIZE THE SORT OF SPIRIT OF
VOLUNTEERISM. YOU KNOW, JUST THIS IDEA THAT
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEDICATE, YOU KNOW, YOUR ENTIRE LIFE TO IT, AS
JOSE HAS, AS HIS FAMILY HAS SUPPORTED HIM.
BUT YOU REALLY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE SIMPLY BY COMMITTING.
AND I THINK, AGAIN, THAT'S WHY I WANTED IT TO BE THIS KIND OF
ORIGIN STORY. IT'S AMAZING TO SEE THE JOURNEY.
I MEAN, LOOK, IT'S VERY CINEMATIC.
THERE'S ACTION. THERE'S JEOPARDY.
IT'S A GOOD MOVIE. BUT UNDERNEATH IT ALL, IT REALLY
IS ABOUT-- LOOK, THE FINAL SCENE-- I DON'T WANT TO GIVE
ANYTHING AWAY BUT I WILL-- IS THIS KID, THIS-- THIS-- THIS
10-YEAR-OLD KID WHO'S JUST HELPING.
HE JUST-- HE JUST VOLUNTEERS. JOSE KIND OF DEPUTIZES HIM.
YOU KNOW ANYBODY AROUND HERE WHO NEEDS MEALS?
YEAH, I DO. AND HE'S JUST PEDALING HIS BIKE,
AND OUR CAMERA GUYS GOT SHOTS OF THIS KID, LEADING, POINTING
THINGS OUT. HE WAS SO PROUD OF HIMSELF.
>> HE WANTED TO BE MY TRANSLATOR.
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> HE SAID, "I SPEAK SPANISH."
I SAID, "I SPEAK SPANISH, TOO." YEAH, BUT I WANT TO BE IN A
MOVIE. >> WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT, JOSE.
>> WHO IS GOING TO TELL ME IN AMERICA, THE AMERICAN DREAM,
WHO, A GUY LIKE ME ME CAN BE SAYING THEY WILL BE ON A NIGHT
LIKE TODAY NEXT TO STEPHEN COLBERT AND RON HOWARD AND
TELLING HIM, "I WANT TO BE IN A MOVIE."
I MEAN, ONLY IN AMERICA. >> Stephen: JOSE, THANK YOU.
RON, THANK YOU. >> GREAT TO SEE YOU.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ). >> Stephen: "WE FEED PEOPLE" IS
AVAILABLE MAY 27 ON DISNEY+, AND YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT WORLD
CENTRAL KITCHEN AT wck.org. RON HOWARD AND JOSE ANDRES,
