>> IN NORTH CAROLINA, FIRST-TERM CONGRESSMAN MADISON CAWTHORN HAS
NOW CONCEDED AFTER LOSING THE PRIMARY TO STATE SENATOR CHUCK
EDWARDS.
IT IS A REBUKE OF SOMEONE ONCE SEEN AS A RISING STAR IN THE
G.O.P., THAT HIS POLITICAL CAREER FELL AFTER SCANDAL AFTER
SCANDAL.
>> HE ACCUSED MEMBERS OF THE PARTY OF HAVING ORGIES AND
SNORTING COCAINE.
>> AND NOW THAT HE HAS LOST THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS, SAY A FOND
FAREWELL TO REPRESENTATIVE
>> IT'S "THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT."
RESULTS PENDING.
PLUS, SECRETARY OF STATE, ANTONY
BLINKEN AND MUSICAL GUEST, TWICE
FEATURING JON BATISTE AND STAY HUMAN.
AND NOW, LIVE ON TAPE FROM THE ED SULLIVAN THEATER IN NEW YORK
CITY, IT'S STEPHEN COLBERT!
.
>> HEY, WHAT'S UP?
PERFECT!
WE'LL GET IT.
HEY!
>> STEPHEN!
STEPHEN!
>> THANKS, EVERYONE.
THAT'S NICE.
HELLO, MARK.
HELLO, HOW ARE YOU?
UP THERE.
OVER HERE.
THANK YOU.
VERY KIND.
PLEASE, HAVE A SEAT.
THANK YOU.
VERY NICE.
PLEASE, HAVE A SEAT, EVERYBODY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
UP HERE, DOWN HERE, OUT THERE, ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
WELCOME TO "THE LATE SHOW."
I WANT TO SAY HI TO ALL MY FANS IN MEXICO CITY, RIGHT OFF THE
TOP.
.
THERE YOU GO.
BROADCASTING LIVE TO MEXICO CITY.
I AM YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT.
FOLKS, I TRY TO NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF THE FACT THAT HAVING ONE OF
THESE SHOWS IS A PROFOUUND PRIVILEGE, NOT JUST TO TELL
JOKES-- HA HA-- BUT TO INFORM YOU, THE PUBLIC. THAT IS A
SACRED TRUST.
AND NO ONE IN LATE NIGHT GIVES YOU THE MIDTERM PRIMARIES IN
FIVE STATES IN MID-MAY LIKE THE TEAM AT "THE LATE SHOW."
>> "ELECTION NIGHT IN 10% OF
AMERICA '22."
>> THE RESULTS ARE IN, AND AMERICA HAS UPHELD ITS
PROUD TRADITION OF NOT KNOWING WHO WON.
AT LEAST IN ONE RACE EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT-- THE REPUBLICAN
NOMINATION FOR SENATE IN PENNSYLVANIA, WHICH PITS FORMER
HEDGE FUND EXECUTIVE AND CUSTOMER ASKING THE MANAGER WHY
THE PEOPLE AT THAT TABLE GOT THEIR FOOD FIRST,
DAVID McCORMICK, AGAINST TV CHARLATAN AND WINNER OF THE EMMY
FOR OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT IN SELF-TAXIDERMY, DR. MEHMET OZ.
AS OF THIS TAPING, THE RACE IS A
TOSS-UP, WITH DR. OZ GETTING 31.3% OF THE VOTE TO McCORMICK'S
31.1%.
WOW, THAT'S A NAILBITER.
THAT IS STRESSFUL.
AND THERE'S NO BETTER CURE FOR STRESS THAN DR. OZ'S RASPBERRY
KETONE AND GREEN COFFEE BEAN PROTEIN PANCAKE MIX.
SIDE EFFECTS INCLUDE STRESS.
HERE'S THE THING.
IT IS.
IT'S A NAILBITER.
BUT BOTH SIDES REMAIN CONFIDENT.
LAST NIGHT, McCORMICK'S CHIEF STRATEGIST TWEETED, "BASED ON
HOW MANY UNCOUNTED ABSENTEE BALLOTS THERE ARE AND THE MARGIN
BY WHICH DAVE HAS WON THEM SO FR, THAT'S WHY WE ARE
CONFIDENT OF VICTORY."
WHILE AN ADVISER TO DR. OZ POINTED TO UNCOUNTED BALLOTS IN
PHILADELPHIA AND DECLARED, "IT'S A JUMP BALL."
WHICH, I WILL REMIND YOU, IS HOW THEY EVENTUALLY DECIDED
BUSH V. GORE.
OKAY.
W. WAS A MONSTER IN THE PAINT.
HE WAS RAY MONSTER IN THE PAINT.
HE TOOK THE ROCK TO THE REHNQUIST.
PENNSYLVANIA LAW REQUIRES A RECOUNT WHEN THE MARGIN IS HALF
A PERCENTAGE POINT OR LESS, BUT ONE DR. OZ SUPPORTER SEES A
WAY AROUND THAT.
I'M TALKING, OF COURSE, ABOUT FORMER PRESIDENT FRAUD
FLINTSTONE-- A.K.A. FLABBA DABBA GOO.
OLD FLABBA DABBA SAID SOMEWHERE ON THE INTERNET THAT
OZ SHOULD NOT TRUST OUTSTANDING MAIL-IN BALLOTS, TYPING, "DR. OZ
SHOULD DECLARE VICTORY.
IT MAKES IT MUCH HARDER FOR THEM TO CHEAT WITH THE BALLOTS THAT
THEY 'JUST HAPPENED TO FIND.' WELL, HE'S
AN AUTHORITY ON CHEATING.
JUST ASK ALL OF HIS WIVES.
WE DO-- IT'S BEEN A WHILE.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE.
JUST THROW IT OUT THERE.
THROW A LITTLE CORN OUT FOR THE CHICKENS.
WE DO KNOW WHO THE WINNER OF THIS RACE WILL FACE IN THE
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR JOHN FETTERMAN, SEEN
HERE IN HIS FORMAL HOODIE.
NOW, UNLIKE THE REPUBLICANS, THE
DEMOCRATIC RACE WAS NOT CLOSE, WITH FETTERMAN CAPTURING
59% OF THE VOTE, AND POSSIBLY GOING ON TO WIN EVERY COUNTY IN
PENNSYLVANIA.
CLEARLY, HE IS A RISING STAR, WHICH MAY BE WHY ONE BIDEN
ADVISER TOLD CNN, "THERE ARE BIG SIMILARITIES BETWEEN JOHN
FETTERMAN AND JOE BIDEN."
AND THAT COULD EXPLAIN BIDEN'S LATEST MAKEOVER.
THAT'S NICE.
LOOKS GOOD.
HE SHOULD DO IT.
HE SHOULD GO FOR IT.
DON'T FIGHT IT, RIGHT?
RIGHT?
DON'T FIGHT IT, RIGHT?
JUST GO FOR IT.
PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS DID DECISIVELY CHOOSE A CANDIDATE
STATE SENATOR AND MR. CLEAN GOING THROUGH A ROUGH
DIVORCE, DOUG MASTRIANO.
MASTRIANO IS A HARD-RIGHT CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST AND A
CENTRAL FIGURE IN EFFORTS TO OVERTURN THE RESULTS OF THE 2020
ELECTION IN PENNSYLVANIA.
THAT VICTORY SPEECH MUST HAVE
"THANK YOU, PENNSYLVANIA.
I COULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT DOMINION VOTING MACHINES
AND THE GHOST OF HUGO CHAVEZ.
THESE ELECTIONS ARE RIGGED!
STOP THE STEAL!
LOCK ME UP!" LOOK ME UP!
ONE OF THE BIG LOSERS LAST NIGHT
WAS NORTH CAROLINA REPRESENTATIVE MADISON CAWTHORN,
SEEN HERE--
SEEN HERE ENTERING A LIST OF HIS TOP AXE BODY SPRAY SCENTS INTO
THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.
MANGO MUSK!
CAWTHORN HAD THE EX-PRESIDENT'S ENDORSEMENT, BUT HE STILL LOST
THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY TO NORTH CAROLINA STATE SENATOR AND
HOTEL CONCIERGE WATCHING YOU AND YOUR WIFE KISS, CHUCK EDWARDS.
IN ADDITION TO HIS ROLE IN THE STATE SENATE, EDWARDS OPERATES
McDONALD'S FRANCHISES IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA.
SO WHILE CAWTHORN HAD THE EX-PRESIDENT'S SUPPORT, EDWARDS
WAS ENDORSED BY THE EX-PRESIDENT'S TOP ADVISER.
NOW, IT'S KIND OF SHOCKING-- HERE'S THE THING--
HERE'S THE THING, HERE IS THE--
IT'S KIND OF SHOCKING FOR AN INCUMBENT, MAGA-APPROVED
CONGRESSMAN TO LOSE HIS PRIMARY.
BUT IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH CAWTHORN ANGERING HIS
G.O.P. COLLEAGUES BACK IN MARCH,
>> THE SEXUAL PERVERSION THAT GOES ON IN WASHINGTON, ALL THE
SUDDEN, YOU GET INVITED TO, LIKE, "WELL, HEY, WE'RE GONNA
HAVE KIND OF A SEXUAL GET-TOGETHER AT ONE OF OUR
HOMES.
YOU SHOULD COME!" AND I'M LIKE, "WHAT DID YOU JUST
ASK ME TO COME TO?" AND THEN YOU REALIZE THEY'RE
ASKING YOU TO COME TO AN ORGY.
SOME OF THE PEOPLE LEADING ON THE MOVEMENT TO TRY AND REMOVE
ADDICTION IN OUR COUNTRY, AND THEN YOU WATCH THEM DO A KEY
BUMP OF COCAINE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
>> Stephen OKAY, THAT'S AN OBVIOUS LIE.
IF MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WERE ON COCAINE, THEY WOULD GET A LOT
MORE DONE.
WOOO!
OOO!
"OK, THAT'S TEN BILLS ALREADY PASSED.
TEAL YOU WHAT, BRO, LET'S FILE CLOTURE AND KEEP GOING.
JUST READ THE BUDGET ALOUD WHILE I CLEAN THE SENATE CHAMBER WITH
A TOOTHBRUSH.
OR START A BAND.
ANYONE CRAZY THIRSTY?
ROAD TRIP!
GO TO THE SHORE!" THAT'S JUST THE TIP-- I HEARD, I
DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S WHAT I HEARD.
BUT THAT'S JUST THE TIP OF WHAT I IMAGINE WERE A GOOD NUMBER OF
TIPS, BECAUSE CAWTHORN HAS A BUNCH OF SCANDALS, INCLUDING
BEING ACCUSED OF ENGAGING IN INSIDER TRADING, CHARGED WITH
DRIVING WITH A REVOKED LICENSE, AND BEING STOPPED FOR TRYING TO
BRING A GUN THROUGH AIRPORT SECURITY-- TWICE.
THAT IS SO STUPID.
EVERYONE KNOWS YOU CAN'T BRING A GUN TO THE AIRPORT.
YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE THROUGH SECURITY AND THEN GO
TO "HUDSON NEWS" TO GET A TRAVEL-SIZE GUN.
BUT NOW CAWTHORN IS ON HIS WAY
OUT, WHICH IS A TOUGH BREAK.
HOW WILL YOU DEAL WITH THIS DEFEAT, MADISON?
>> KEY BUMP OF COCAINE.
>> OKAY.
OKAY, WHATEVER GETS YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT.
IN PANDEMIC NEWS, COVID IS SURGING, BUT IT'S HARD TO TELL
NUMBERS CERTAINLY SEEM TO BE GOING UP HERE IN NEW YORK, WHERE
THIS WEEK, CORONAVIRUS CASES REACHED A HIGH ALERT LEVEL.
TO BE FAIR, WHEN YOU'RE WALKING AROUND NEW YORK CITY, YOU'RE
OFTEN ON HIGH ALERT.
"HONEY, WALK FASTER AND DON'T TURN AROUND.
THE GUY BEHIND US ISN'T WEARING PANTS, BUT HE IS WEARING AN ELMO
HEAD.
AND NOT WHERE HE'S SUPPOSED TO.
OH, GOD, HE'S GOT A GREENPEACE PETITION.
MOVE!
MOVE!" COVID IS ALSO RISING ON THE WEST
CASE IN POINT, MY DEAR FRIEND AND FELLOW LATE-NIGHT HOST
JIMMY KIMMEL HAS TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID AGAIN.
WE WISH HIM A SPEEDY RECOVERY.
BUT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT, GETTING COVID TWICE IS KIND OF
MY THING.
IF YOU'RE GONNA STEAL MY BIT,
JIMMY, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO STEAL ONE OF YOURS, TOO.
IT'S TIME FOR "MEAN TWEETS."
HERE WE GO.
GET BETTER, KIMMEL, 'CAUSE YOU CAN'T GET WORSE.
VERY MEAN.
THAT'S VERY-- THAT'S VERY MEAN, VERY MEAN.
IT'S HARD TO TELL IF KIMMEL GOT COVID FROM A STAFF MEMBER OR A
FAMILY MEMBER, BECAUSE MOST OF HIS STAFF ARE FAMILY MEMBERS.
SAD TO HEAR THAT COVID SIDELINED MY THIRD-FAVORITE JIMMY, AFTER
FALLON AND "DEAN SAUSAGE."
I DON'T KNOW WHY-- I DON'T KNOW WHY ANYONE WOULD DO THIS.
I DON'T BE WHY.
JIMMY KIMMEL HAS COVID?
WHO CARES?
I ONLY WATCH HIS SHOW FOR THE ROOTS ANYWAY.
WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU TONIGHT.
MY GUEST IS SECRETARY OF STATE, ANTONY BLINKEN.
BUT WHEN WE COME BACK, JOHNNY CASH IS BACK IN THE NEWS FOR A
REASON THAT MAY SURPRISE YOU.
STICK AROUND.
>> WELCOME BACK,
EVERYBODY!
GIVE IT UP FOR THE BAND!
HELLO, LOUIS.
OH, LOUIS, MY FRIEND.
I'M FEELING-- LOUIS, HAVE WE BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE?
I'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF THE COVID FOG.
I'M FEELING RIGHT AS RAIN, BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN MY MENTAL
ENERGY IS JUST AS SHALLOW AS A KIDDIE POOL.
HAVE YOU ASKED YOU THIS BEFORE, DID YOU GET IT?
DID YOU GET COVID?
>> YOU DID ASK ME THIS.
AND I DID GET IT.
>> HOW WAS THE RECOVERY FOR YOU?
>> I DIDN'T HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS BUT I HAD INSOMNIA TWO MONTHS
AFTER.
>> I HAVE THE SAME THING, GETTING UP IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE NIGHT SUPER ANXIOUS.
ABOUT WHAT?
ABOUT WHETHER I STILL HAVE COVID, I THINK.
BECAUSE I HAD IT TWICE.
I ALREADY SAID THAT, RIGHT?
I ALREADY SAID I HAD IT TWICE.
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY-- GIVE ME COVID ONCE, SHAME ON YOU.
GIVE ME COVID TWICE, PLEASE STOP GIVING ME COVID.
THERE YOU GO.
TURNED A BUCK ON THAT, DIDN'T I?
ANYWAY, WE DO WISH-- WE DO WISH OUR DEAR FRIEND JIMMY KIMMEL ALL
THE BEST.
TAKE IT EASY, YOU KNOW.
WE NEED YOU OUT THERE.
WE NEED YOU.
SUCH MEAN TWEETS, THOUGH.
SUCH MEAN TWEETS.
YOU KNOW WHO I'M NOT GOING TO BE MEAN TO TONIGHT, THAT IS
SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, ANTONY BLINKEN IS GOING
TO BE OUT HERE IN JUST A MOMENT.
YOU UNDERSTAND.
THAT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN.
>> IN THE BUILDING.
>> YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THAT ANYWHERE ELSE IN
LATE NIGHT THIS WEEK.
WHAT AN HONOR.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AS I SAID, WE TAKE OUR JOB SERIOUSLY HERE,
AND OCEAN RISE THREATENS ALL OF OUR COASTAL
COMMUNITIES, AND IT SEEMS LIKE OUR GOVERNMENTS ARE--
AND I'M SORRY, I'M BEING TOLD IN MY EAR, THAT
"THE LATE SHOW" LOCAL NEWS-ALERT COMMAND DESK THAT WE HAVE
BREAKING SMALL-TOWN ARKANSAS WATER TOWER NEWS!
LET'S GET STRAIGHT TO THE STORY OUT OF KINGSLAND, ARKANSAS,
BIRTHPLACE OF MUSIC LEGEND JOHNNY CASH.
AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, HOME OF A WATER TOWER WITH JOHNNY CASH
LET'S GO TO MY COLLEAGUE CAITRIN ASSAF, ON THE SCENE WITH KLRT,
KINGSLAND'S NEWS LEADER.
CAITRIN, IS THAT RAIN?
>> NOPE, THAT'S NOT RAIN.
>> THANK YOU.
LET'S GO TO THE MAYOR OF KINGSLAND TO EXPLAIN WHAT
EXACTLY THAT IS.
>> SOMEBODY SHOT OUR WATER
TOWER, SHOT THE SILHOUETTE OF JOHNNY CASH IN A VERY SENSITIVE
AREA.
>> STANDING PROUD, HOLDING A GUITAR, AND EMPTYING THIS
50,000-GALLON WATER TANK ALL OVER KINGSLAND.
NOW, THAT LOOKS EMBARRASSING,
AND LIKE AN AD FOR FLOMAX.
BUT WE ALL KNOW THE MAN IN BLACK'
ON THAT BURNING RING OF FIRE
BUT THE SPLASH-BACK'S HIGHER
GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR,
NOW--
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATIVE MUSICAL BREAK.
NOW, A GIANT SILHOUETTE OF JOHNNY CASH ON A
WATER TOWER IN ARKANSAS IS TAKING A LEAK ON
PASSERS-BY.
BUT MUCH LIKE PEEING AFTER TAKING VITAMINS, THIS STORY HAS
A DARK SIDE.
>> NOW, THIS SITUATION MAY SEEM HUMOROUS, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY NO
LAUGHING MATTER.
>> I WOULD DEBATE YOU ON THAT, BUT GO ON.
>> THIS WATER TOWER IS LOSING CLOSE TO 30,000 GALLONS EVERY
SINGLE DAY.
>> YES, AND IN A CRISIS OF THIS MAGNITUDE, KLRT NEWS
WILL BE THERE, BRINGING YOU THE LATEST, LIVE FROM THE SPLASH
ZONE.
CAITRIN DIDN'T HAVE TO STAND DIRECTLY UNDER WHAT SHE HERSELF
IS IMPLYING IS A CONSTANT STREAM OF URINE, BUT SHE'S A
JOURNALIST, DAMMIT, AND SHE KNOWS IF IT PEES, IT LEADS.
THIS ISSUE--
THIS ISSUE-- SPEAKING OF WH WHICH...
THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ON-FLOWING, BECAUSE ACCORDING TO LOCAL
OFFICIALS, IT'S BEEN LEAKING FOR THE PAST WEEK.
WELL, YEAH.
JOHNNY CASH WOULD BE 90 YEARS OLD.
AND AT THAT AGE, YOU PEE EVERYWHERE, MAN, YOU PEE
EVERYWHERE.
KINGSLAND'S MAYOR WARNS THAT THIS LEAK WILL AFFECT THE LOCAL
COMMUNITY.
>> PEOPLE CAN LOOK FOR THEIR WATER TO BE DISCOLORED.
>> ESPECIALLY IF JOHNNY CASH RECENTLY HAD ASPARAGUS.
WAIT, WAIT, HOLD ON, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN, I'M SORRY.
I'M GETTING WORD THAT, ACCORDING TO TMZ-- AMERICA'S TOP SOURCE OF
HOT, CELEBRITY PEE NEWS-- AN ARREST-- AND THIS IS TRUE-- AN
ARREST HAS BEEN MADE IN THIS CASE.
THERE IS THE MAN WHO WAS ACTUALLY ARRESTED.
HIS NAME IS TIMOTHY SLED.
BEHOLD THE FACE OF EVIL.
HE SHOT A MAN IN KINGSLAND JUST TO WATCH HIM PEE.
EITHER WAY--
WHY?
EITHER WAY, THE TOWN IS GOING TO HAVE TO PLUG THAT LEAK, AND IT'S
NOT GOING TO BE CHEAP.
BECAUSE, REMEMBER, THEY'RE LOSING 30,000 GALLONS OF WATER A
DAY.
THE MAYOR ESTIMATED THAT'S GONNA COST AROUND $200.
ALMOST $5,000.
SOUNDS LIKE THIS LEAK HAS LEFT THEM WITH A CASH FLOW PROBLEM.
NOW, THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY FOR A
SMALL TOWN, LIKE KINGSLAND, AND WE ARE READY TO STEP UP.
THE SCIENTISTS AT "THE LATE SHOW" LABS SAW THIS PROBLEM AND
THEN SAW THIS AD ON TV FOR FLEX SEAL.
CALL ME, CALL ME, KINGSLAND.
I AM PREPARED TO CLIMB UP THERE AND FIX JOHNNY CASH'S
FOLSOM WHIZZIN' BLUES.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH SECRETARY ANTONY BLINKEN.
>> WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY!
WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY GUEST TONIGHT HAS WORKED IN GOVERNMENT
FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS AND CURRENTLY SERVES AS
OUR 71st SECRETARY OF STATE.
PLEASE WELCOME SECRETARY ANTONY BLINKEN!
>> THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
I DON'T TAKE THIS LIGHTLY.
YOU DON'T GET A SECRETARY OF STATE ON A LATE-NIGHT SHOW EVERY
DAY.
ARE HAVE YOU DONE MANY OF THESE?
>> THIS IS THE FIRST ONE.
>> THIS IS THE FIRST ONE?
>> IT IS.
>> YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT.
NOW, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU A
LITTLE BIT LATER ABOUT THE-- BASICALLY, THE STATE DEPARTMENT
IN GENERAL.
I THINK PEOPLE MISUNDERSTAND IT'S MISSION OFTEN AND HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS.
BUT THE FIRST THING I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IS THAT YOU'RE
THE MOST INFORMED PERSON RIGHT NOW I CAN TALK TO ABOUT WHAT'S
GOING ON IN THE WAR IN UKRAINE.
BEFORE I ASK YOU MY QUESTIONS, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE PEOPLE TO
KNOW ABOUT WHAT THE STATE OF THAT CONFLICT IS RIGHT NOW?
>> STEPHEN, THIS IS DAY 82 OF WHAT WAS AN UNPROVOKED,
UNJUSTIFIED AGGRESSION BY RUSSIA AGAINST UKRAINE.
AND I THINK WHAT THE WORLD ALREADY KNOWS IS WE'VE SEEN THE
REMARKABLE COURAGE, RESILIENCY OF THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE.
OVER-MATCHED--
>> EVERYONE SAID THREE OR FOUR DAYS, AND IT WOULD
BE OVER.
EVERYONE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE OVER IN THREE OR FOUR DAYS.
>> THERE WAS A LOT OF EXPECTATION THAT MIGHT HAPPEN.
BECAUSE OF THEIR COURAGE, BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF THE ASSISTANCE
WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE THEM WITH DOZENS OF OTHER COUNTRIES,
THEY'VE NOT ONLY HELD THEIR GROUND.
THEY'VE BEEN PUSHING THE RUSSIANS BACK.
THEY WON THE BATTLE FOR KYIV.
NOW, THERE'S AN INTENSE FIGHT GOING ON IN EASTERN AND SOUTHERN
UKRAINE.
AND THE OTHER THING IS THE COUNTRY'S BEEN TERRIBLY
BRUTALIZED BY THIS RUSSIAN AGGRESSION.
YOU KNOW, WE HAD THAT-- THE TOWN OF BUCHA NEAR KYIV, THE RUSSIANS
MOVED OUT.
WHEN THAT TIDE RECEDED, WE SAW WHAT WAS LEFT IN ITS WAKE, AND
I'M AFRAID AS THAT HAPPENS IN OTHER PARTS OF UKRAINE, WE'LL
SEE IT.
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THIS-- 82 DAYS IN, THE
UKRAINIANS ARE STANDING UP FOR THEIR FREEDOM.
THEY'RE STANDING UP FOR THEIR SOVEREIGNTY.
THEY HAVE SO MUCH OF THE WORLD WITH THEM AND HERE'S WHAT I CAN
TELL YOU-- WHAT VLADIMIR PUTIN WAS TRYING TO DO WAS TO TAKE
AWAY THEIR INDEPENDENCE, THEIR SOVEREIGNTY.
IN HIS MIND, UKRAINE IS NOT AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY.
IT NEEDS TO BE SUBSUMED INTO RUSSIA.
THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
AND WHAT I THINK WE CAN SAY WITH A LOT OF CERTAINTY AND
CONVICTION, IS THAT A SOVEREIGN, INDEPENDENT UKRAINE IS GOING TO
BE AROUND A LOT LONGER THAN VLADIMIR PUTIN IS ON THE SCENE.
.
>> NOW-- YOU WERE...
YOU WERE ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY BRIEF ZELENSKY
BEFORE THE WAR EVER STARTED ABOUT THE LIKELIHOOD OF THIS
INVASION.
YOU WERE FIRST WARNED THE PUBLIC ON BEHALF OF THE ADMINISTRATION
OF WHAT MIGHT BE GOING ON OVER THERE.
YOU'RE NOW LEADING THE U.S.
EFFORTS TO...
HAVE A JOINT RESPONSE FROM NATO COUNTRIES.
AND SET THE TONE FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD.
ALL OF THAT SEEMS LIKE THE RIGHT THICK TO DO.
ONE THING THAT WORRIES ME, HOWEVER RIGHT I THINK THE FIGHT
FOR THE UKRAINIANS IS, IS THAT IS THERE A CHANCE THAT THIS
COULD TIP OVER TO A HOT WAR WITH RUSSIA?
BECAUSE, CERTAINLY, PUTIN AND ALL OF HIS-- THE PEOPLE IN HIS
CIRCLE HAVE SAID THEY CONSIDER THIS A HOT WAR WITH THE WEST,
WHETHER OR NOT WE WANT TO CALL IT THAT.
SO HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE THAT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN?
>> STEPHEN, THE PRESIDENT'S BEEN VERY CLEAR ABOUT THIS, ABOUT
WHAT THIS IS AND WHAT IT ISN'T.
AND WHAT IT ISN'T IS IT ISN'T A WAR WITH RUSSIA.
THIS IS THE UNITED STATES -- >> NOT A PROXY WAR.
>> AND IT'S NOT A PROXY WAR.
IT'S ABOUT US GIVING THE UKRAINIANS THE HELP THAT THEY
NEED TO DEFEND THEMSELVES, TO STOP THE AGGRESSION, TO HOLD ON
TO THEIR FREEDOM, TO HOLD ON TO THEIR SOVEREIGNTY.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING.
AND WE'RE ALSO PUTTING PRESSURE ON RUSSIA TO TRY TO GET IT STOP
THE AGGRESSION.
WE HAVE SANCTIONS WE'VE BEEN LEADING WITH DOZENS OF OTHER
COUNTRIES THAT ARE MAKING LIFE PRETTY DIFFICULT FOR THE
RUSSIANS.
MORE THAN 800 COUNTRIES, BIG-- BIGGEST BRAND NAMES IN THE
WORLD-- HAVE LEFT RUSSIA BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT THE REPUTATIONAL
COST OF DOING BUSINESS THERE, GIVEN THIS AGGRESSION.
THAT'S HAVING A REAL IMPACT.
>> NOW, WE SEE
REPORTS-- WE SEE REPORTS ABOUT THE FALL OF MARIUPOL AND THE
UKRAINIAN FIGHTERS PUT UP A FIERCE RESISTANCE THERE.
NOW THAT THAT CITY-- IS THAT ACCURATE-- THAT MARIUPOL HAS
FALLEN TO THE RUSSIANS?
>> RUSSIANS HAVE TAKEN MARIUPOL.
>> WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO THE RUSSIAN EFFORTS NOW?
>> THE FIGHT NOW, AFTER THE RUSSIANS GOT PUSHED BACK FROM
KYIV AND AROUND KYIV AND NORTHERN UKRAINE AND PARTS OF
WESTERN UKRAINE, THIS HAS MOVED ALL THE WAY EAST AND ALL THE WAY
SOUTH, PRETTY NEAR RUSSIA ITSELF.
AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE FIGHTING OVER.
AND, AGAIN, AS I SAID, WHAT'S SO HEARTBREAKING ABOUT THIS IS WHEN
THE WORLD ACTUALLY SEES WHAT'S HAPPENED IN MARIUPOL-- WHICH IT
WILL ONE DAY-- I'M AFRAID THE PICTURES THAT WE'VE SEEN COMING
OUT OF BUCHA A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO ARE GOING TO BE NOTHING BY
COMPARISON.
SO, THIS IS WHY I THINK PEOPLE-- THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
INCREDIBLY GENEROUS, BECAUSE THROUGH CONGRESS, SO MUCH
SUPPORT GIVEN TO THE UKRAINIANS.
BECAUSE I THINK IT IS TOUCHING PEOPLE'S HEARTS.
THEY'RE SEEING A BIG COUNTRY AGGRESS A SMALL ONE.
THEY'RE SIGHING ONE COUNTRY TRY TO CHANGE THE BORDERS OF ANOTHER
BY FORCE.
THEY'RE SEEING ONE COUNTRY TRY TO SAY TO ANOTHER COUNTRY,
"WE'RE GOING TO DECIDE WHAT YOUR FUTURE IS GOING TO BE, NOT YOU."
AND WE CAN'T HAVE A WORLD THAT WORKS THAT WAY.
>> AND THERE'S A BIPARTISAN RESPONSE WHICH IS
UNUSUAL.
>> THIS HAS BEEN REMARKABLE.
>> ANYTHING THAT ANYONE CAN AGREE ON.
>> IT'S BEEN REMARKABLE.
>> PART OF PUTIN'S
MOTIVATION FOR THE WAR, AS, YOU KNOW, I SEE IN THE REPORTING,
PART OF PUTIN'S MOTIVATION FOR THE WAR IS TO WEAKEN NATO.
NOW TUESDAY FINLAND AND THEN SWEDEN SIGNED THE APPLICATIONS.
IS PUTIN HIMSELF THE GREATEST ADVERTISEMENT FOR NATO IN A
GENERATION JIVES GOING TO HAVE A POSTER FOR-- WELL
WHAT'S REMARKABLE IS WHEN YOU
LOOK AT THIS, STEPHEN, PRESIDENT PUTIN HAS MANAGED TO PRECIPITATE
EVERYTHING HE SOUGHT TO PREVENT.
HE WANTED TO PREVENT NATO FROM GETTING BIGGER WITH UKRAINE.
NOW, IT ACTUALLY IS WITH FINLAND AND WITH SWEDEN.
HE WANTED TO DIVIDE THE WEST, DIVIDE THE ALLIANCE.
IT'S MORE UNITED THAN IT'S EVER BEEN.
AND, AS I SAID, HE WANTED TO SUBJUGATE UKRAINE, MAKE IT PART
OF RUSSIA.
THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
SO EVERYTHING WE'RE SEEING IS PUTIN ACHIEVING THE EXACT
OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE SAYS HE WANTS.
>> NOW, MY BUDDY, POPE FRANCIS HAS SAID...
...THAT NATO TAKES SOME BLAME
FOR THIS BY BASICALLY STRESSING OUT RUSSIA BY EXPANDING EAST UP
AGAINST RUSSIA'S BORDERS.
DO YOU THINK HE'S GOT A CASE?
>> SO, NATO -- >> HE'S THE POPE.
HE'S THE POPE.
>> AND I HAVE GREAT REVERENCE FOR HIM.
I HAD THE-- HE TOLD ME THAT YOU WERE VERY CLOSE.
>> YES, THANK YOU.
.
>> I-- HAVE GREAT REVERENCE FOR HIM, BUT LET ME SAY THIS-- NATO
IS A DEFENSIVE ALLIANCE, COUNTRIES COMING TOGETHER TO
MAKE SURE IF ONE OF THEM WAS ATTACKED ALL THE OTHERS WOULD
COME IN AND DEFEND THAT COUNTRY.
THAT'S WHAT IT IS ABOUT.
IT HAS NO AGGRESSIVE INTENT AGAINST RUSSIA.
IT NEVER ATTACKED RUSSIA.
IT WON'T ATTACK RUSSIA.
>> I HAVE A CRAZY IDEA-- INVITE RUSSIA TO BE PART
OF THE NATO.
WHAT'S HE GOT TO BE WORRIED ABOUT?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT, BACK IN THE 1990s, THAT WAS ACTUALLY
SOMETHING PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT.
>> AND?
>> WELL, THE RUSSIANS DECIDED THAT WASN'T WHAT THEY WANTED TO
DO.
>> WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK, BUT WHEN WE COME
BACK, I WILL ASK THE SECRETARY ABOUT WHAT ZELENSKY IS LIKE IN
PERSON.
STICK AROUND.
>> HEY, EVERYBODY, WE'RE BACK HERE WITH SECRETARY
OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN.
YOU'VE MET ZELENSKYY.
AFTER SPEAKING TO HIM MANY TIMES, I ASSUME AS SECRETARY OF
STATE, YOU WENT OVER THERE AND VISITED WITH HIM OVER IN KYIV.
WHAT'S HE LIKE?
HE SEEMS VERY IMPRESSIVE AS A LEADER FROM A DISTANCE.
BUT WE KNOW HE WAS AN ACTOR AND ACOMEDIAN, SO HE COULD JUST BE
ACTING IMPRESSIVE.
WHAT'S HE LIKE IN PERSON?
>> I'VE GOT TO SAY, STEPHEN, HE IS QUITE LITERALLY THE
EMBODIMENT OF THE COURAGE OF UKRAINIAN PEOPLE.
HE IS THE GUY WHEN THE BOMBS STARTED COMING IN, THE MISSILES
STARTED FLYING, HE COULD HAVE LEFT TOWN.
HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF KYIV.
HE DIDN'T.
HE STAYED.
HE LED HIS PEOPLE.
IT'S INCREDIBLE PERSONAL COURAGE BUT IT'S ALSO BECAUSE I THINK HE
FELT HE HAD TO REPRESENT UKRAINIANS, HE HAD TO STAND UP
FOR THE COUNTRY'S FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE.
HE HAS REALLY INSPIRED PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
AND I HAVE HAD THE OCCASION TO MEET WITH HIM HALF A DOZEN
TIMES.
BEFORE THE WAR, WHEN WE HAD THIS INFORMATION THAT RUSSIA WAS
LIKELY TO DO THIS, I HAD TO TELL HIM WE WERE AT THE COP26, THE
CLIMATE MEETINGS, AND I SAT WITH HIM AND SHARED THE INFORMATION.
TELLING SOMEONE THAT RUSSIA MIGHT BE ABOUT TO INVADE YOUR
COUNTRY, IS DEFINITELY AN EYE-OPENER.
BUT HE HAS PROVEN TO BE REMARKABLY RESILIENT.
AND, OF COURSE, HE'S ALSO, I THINK, MADE A POWERFUL FASHION
STATEMENT OUT OF THE GREEN T-SHIRT.
SO WHEN WE VISITED
WHEN WE VISITED, I WENT WITH SECRETARY OF DEFENSE LLOYD
AUSTIN, AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO INTO A CONFLICT ZONE WITH
ANYONE, YOU WANT TO GO IN WITH LLOYD AUSTIN.
>> BECAUSE YOU STAND BEHIND HIM.
HE'S A HUGE MAN.
>> HE'S A BIG GUY.
AND WE WENT IN, WE HAD A REMARKABLE THREE HOURS WITH
PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY, WITH HIS TEAM.
WE WENT IN ON THIS TRAIN THAT TOOK ABOUT 12 HOURS TO GET FROM
THE POLISH BORDER INTO KYIV.
ACTUALLY, KYIV ITSELF, LOOKS-- NOW AT LEAST-- REMARKABLY
NORMAL, PEOPLE ON THE STREETS, GOING TO COFFEE SHOPS, ET
CETERA.
NOW, IT DOESN'T STOP THE RUSSIANS FROM STILL FIRING
MISSILES THAT HIT KYIV.
BUT THE CITY'S COME BACK TO LIFE.
AND -- >> I UNDERSTAND THAT
THE EMBASSY IS GOING TO REOPEN THERE.
>> THE EMBASSY, THE FLAG WENT UP TODAY.
>> THE AMERICAN FLAG.
.
>> WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
WHAT'S THE SIGNIFICANCE-- TWO THINGS.
WHAT IS-- WHAT IS THE-- AND THIS WILL GET US INTO WHAT I WANT TO
TALK TO YOU ABOUT WANT STATE DEPARTMENT.
WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF AN EMBARRASS HAVING TO BE EVACUATED
AND THAT MOMENT OF RETURN?
WHAT'S THE SIGNIFICANCE OF BOTH THOSE EVENTS?
>> MY FIRST RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS JOB AS SECRETARY IS TO LOOK
OUT FOR THE WELL-BEING OF THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE STATE
DEPARTMENT.
I HAVE TO HAVE THEIR SECURITY UPPERMOST IN MIND.
WHEN THE ATTACK WAS COMING, WE HAD TO MAKE A REALLY HARD
DECISION TO SUSPEND OUR OPERATIONS AND GET FOLKS OUT OF
HARM'S WAY.
LET ME TELL YOU THIS, THEY DIDN'T WANT TO GO, BUT WE MOVED
THEM TO POLAND.
THEY TOOK THE FLAG THAT WAS FLYING OVER THE EMBASSY THAT DAY
WITH THEM.
AND THAT IS THE SAME FLAG THAT'S NOW FLYING OVER THE EMBASSY
AGAIN IN KYIV TODAY.
>> WE HAVE TO TAKE A
LITTLE BREAK.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH SECRETARY ANTONY BLINKEN,
>> THAT'S SO FASCINATING.
HEY, EVERYBODY, WE'RE BACK HERE WITH SECRETARY OF STATE, ANTONY
BLINKEN.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A WAR-- AND WE TALKED EARLIER ABOUT THE
MUNITIONS THAT MIGHT GO OVER THERE AND THE TACTICAL AND
INTELLIGENCE HELP THE UNITED STATES MAY GIVE.
BUT THE STATE DEPARTMENT IS NOT THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.
IT'S NOT THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR.
RICHARD HOLBROOKE CALLED IT THE DEPARTMENT OF PEACE.
AND GENERAL MADIS SAID IF YOU DON'T STUNNED THE STATE
DEPARTMENT FULLY, THEN I NEED TO BUY MORE AMMUNITION.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> WHAT DO PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE MISSION OF
THE STATE DEPARTMENT?
>> YOU'VE GOT IT EXACTRY RIGHT.
OUR JOB IS TO TRY TO PREVENT WAR.
IF WE FAIL AT THAT, TO TRY TO MAKE PEACE.
AND IF WE FAIL AT THAT, TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR DIPLOMACY IS DOING
EVERYTHING IT CAN WHEREVER NECESSARY, NOT JUST TO MAKE LIFE
BETTER FOR PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD, BUT ALSO TO MAKE LIFE
BETTER FOR OUR OWN PEOPLE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
EVERYTHING WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS TO TRY TO MAKE THE WORLD JUST A
LITTLE BIT SAFER, A LITTLE BIT MORE PROSPEROUS, A LITTLE BIT
HEALTHIER, A LITTLE BIT WISER, A LITTLE BIT MORE TOLERANT.
AND THAT'S GOING TO BENEFIT US.
>> WHAT'S THE STATE OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT RIGHT
NOW?
WE ONLY HAVE A MINUTE HERE.
I'M CURIOUS.
IT WAS SORT OF FAMOUSLY REPORTED AS BEING DENUDED DURING THE
PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION, PEOPLE LEAVING WERE NOT BEING REPLACED.
THE HALLS WERE EMPTY.
IS THE STATE DEPARTMENT BEING RESTAFFED?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID EARLY ON, AS WE
STARTED TO MOVE AROUND THE WORLD AGAIN, AMERICA'S BACK.
AND I CAN TELL YOU THIS, THE STATE DEPARTMENT IS BACK.
WE HAVE OUR MEN AND WOMEN--
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, FEBRUARY AS WE'RE RELENTLESSLY FOCUSED,
RELENTLESSLY FOCUSED ON UKRAINE, AND ON HELPING THE UKRAINIAN
PEOPLE, WE'RE DOING A LOT OF OTHER THINGS, TOO.
WE HAVE GOTTEN A TRUCE IN ETHI DON'T KNOWIA, SO HUMANITARIAN
AIDE CAN GET THROUGH.
WE GOT MORE THAN 500 MILLION COVID VACCINE SHOTS TO PEOPLE
AROUND THE WORLD, ON OUR WAY TO 1.2 BILLION SHOTS THAT THE
UNITED STATES IS GIVING AWAY FREE, NO STRINGS ATTACHED.
THAT'S THE WORK WE DO.
HERE'S THE THING, STEPHEN, IF THE UNITED STATES IS NOT
ENGAGED, IF WE'RE NOT TRYING TO LEAD, ONE OF TWO THINGS-- EITHER
SOMEONE ELSE, MAYBE IT'S CHINA, AND THAT MIGHT NOT GO FORWARD IN
A WAY THAT REFLECTS OUR INTEREST AND OUR VALUES.
OR NO ONE IS?
AND THAT LEAVES A VACUUM FILLED BY BAD THINGS.
THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE ENGAGE AND WE LEAD AND
WE'RE LEADING WITH DIPLOMACY.
THAT'S WHAT PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID HE WANTED.
THAT'S WHY THE STATE DEPARTMENT IS FRONT AND CENTER.
THAT'S WHAT WE DO.
WE'RE LEADING WITH DIPLOMACY, WE'RE LEADING WITH AMERICA AND
WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE THINGS A LITTLE BIT BETTER AROUND THE
WORLD.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
AS IMPORTANT AS THAT WORK IS THAT YOU JUST DESCRIBED, I THINK
YOU'LL BEST BE REMEMBERED AS THE LEAD GUITARIST FOR THE BAND "ABE
BLINKEN."
THIS IS AN ACTUAL PHOTO.
WE DID NOT MOCK THIS UP.
TELL ME-- TELL ME ABOUT YOUR BAND.
WHAT DO YOU GET OUT OF IT?
AND WHERE ARE YOU GUYS GIGGING NEXT?
>> STEPHEN, I LONG WANTED TO BE A MUSICIAN, AS A KID, AS A
TEENAGER, THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO DO.
AND I SEE SOME REAL MUSICIANS OVER THERE.
THERE WAS JUST ONE, ONE MISSING
INGREDIENT.
>> YES.
>> TALENT.
BUT IT'S-- IT HAS BEEN A CONSTANT THREAD IN MY LIFE.
SO I'VE BEEN IN A BUNCH OF BANDS, IN QUOTATION MARKS"
COALITION OF THE WILLING.
>> OH, SURE.
>> AMONG OTHERS.
BIG LUNCH.
>> DON'T KNOW THAT ONE.
THAT'S ON ME.
>> BECAUSE WE KIND OF MAKE YOU FEEL THE WAY YOU DO AFTER YOU'VE
HAD A BIG LUNCH.
A LITTLE BIT DROWSY.
>> LOGGY, LOGGY DANCE BAND.
>> AT LEAST WHAT I FOUND IN MY EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST AUDIENCE
WE HAVE TENDS TO BE VERY YOUNG CHILDREN WHO HAVEN'T DEVELOPED
CRITICAL FACULTIES.
.
>> JUST IN CASE THERE ARE ANY OF THEM WATCHING RIGHT
NOW, AS WE GO OUT, WOULD YOU-- WOULD YOU CARE-- DO YOU GUYS
HAVE A GUITAR THAT THE SECRETARY MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE?
SECRETARY BLINKEN, THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
ANTONY BLINKEN, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH A PERFORMANCE BY TWICE.
