( ROBOT SPEAKING ) TODAY WE UNVEIL TESLA'S MOST

I AM JUST AN EARLY PROTOTYPE, INTRODUCING OPTIMUSK.

TO BE FAIR, IT'S THE FIRST TIME IT'S DANCED WITHOUT A TETHER.
ITS WATERPROOF WHITE POLYMER COATING LOOKS ALMOST LIKE HUMAN

>> Announcer: IT'S "THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT."
TONIGHT: BETTER LUCK ANNEX TIME!
PLUS, STEPHEN WELCOMES: SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI
AND ARMANDO IANNUCCI AND MUSICAL GUEST DERMOT
KENNEDY. FEATURING LOUIS CATO AND THE
LATE SHOW BAND. AND NOW, LIVE ON TAPE FROM THE
ED SULLIVAN THEATER IN NEW YORK CITY, IT'S STEPHEN COLBERT!
>> Stephen: THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!
RIGHT THERE! ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: HEY! HEY!
HAVE A LOVELY SHOW. HAPPY MONDAY.
>> Audience: STEPHEN! STEPHEN!
>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY! THANKS, EVERYBODY.
PLEASE, HAVE A SEAT. YOU'RE VERY KIND.
PLEASE. WON'T YOU PLEASE.
WON'T YOU OPI. THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.
WELCOME, WELCOME ONE AND ALL TO "LATE SHOW"."
I AM YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT. THIS WEEKEND, I'M SURE, THAT
YOU, LIKE ME, WERE HORRIFIED BY THE SCALE OF THE DEVASTATION IN
FLORIDA. OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO EVERYONE
DOWN THERE, BUT WHAT THEY REALLY NEED IS OUR SUPPORT.
SO IF YOU WANT TO DONATE, WE HAVE PINNED A LIST OF CHARITIES
TO THE TOP OF OUR TWITTER PAGE, @COLBERT LATE SHOW.
THANKFULLY, HELP IS ALREADY ON THE WAY.
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS APPROVED AN EMERGENCY DECLARATION FOR
FLORIDA, AND FEDERAL AID HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE TO THE
STATE. WELL, THANK GOODNESS!
THE ROADS DOWN THERE ARE A MESS, PEOPLE'S HOMES ARE
DESTROYED, AND ALL THAT'S LEFT OF EPCOT ARE THE BORING PARTS--
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS EPCOT. ( LAUGHTER )
THINGS WILL HOPEFULLY START TO GET BETTER SOON, NO THANKS TO
FLORIDA'S CONGRESSPEOPLE. ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, THE
HOUSE AND THE SENATE BOTH APPROVED A BILL THAT INCLUDED
OVER $18 BILLION TO HELP STATES WITH NATURAL DISASTERS.
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED WHO VOTED AGAINST IT: ALL 16 G.O.P.
MEMBERS OF FLORIDA'S CONGRESSIONAL TEAM, AND FLORIDA
SENATOR RICK SCOTT, SEEN HERE SCREAMING "AVADA KEDAVRA."
( LAUGHTER ) RUBIO, WAS NOT PRESENT FOR THE
VOTE. REALLY?
NORMALLY HE'S SO EASY TO FIND. "MARCO!"
( LAUGHTER ) THE FOCUS OFF FORMER PRESIDENT
THE SCAMDALORIAN. OF COURSE, HE DOESN'T LIKE THAT.
SO HE LASHED OUT THIS WEEKEND ON SOCIAL MEDIA AGAINST SENATE
MINORITY LEADER AND LOVECHILD OF BEAKER AND BUNSEN HONEYDEW
( LAUGHTER ) >> Louis: WOW!
>> Stephen: MITCH McCONNELL. >> Louis: WOW!
THAT'S SCARY! >> Stephen: SEE, McCONNELL VOTED
TO KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OPERATING, WHICH THE FORMER
PRESIDENT EVIDENTLY OPPOSES, LEADING HIM TO WRITE OF
McCONNELL, "HE HAS A DEATH WISH."
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE SAW THAT AS A THREAT, BUT THE FORMER
PRESIDENT'S SPOKESPERSON INSISTED, NO, THE REFERENCE TO A
DEATH WISH WAS "POLITICAL" RATHER THAN LITERAL.
OKAY. BUT IT'S NEVER GREAT WHEN YOU
HAVE TO CLARIFY THAT YOUR DEATH THREAT IS A METAPHOR:
"I WANT THIS MOB TO MARCH ON MY OPPONENT'S HOUSE-- FIGURATIVELY,
WHICH IS 'METAPHORICALLY' AT 471 PINECONE ROAD, AND LEAVE
A SEVERED HORSE HEAD IN HIS BED... AS AN ALLEGORY....
FOR HIS HEAD." THE FORMER PRESIDENT CONTINUED
BY GOING AFTER McCONNELL'S WIFE, WHO WAS HIS TRANSPORTATION
SECRETARY, ELAINE CHAO, SAYING McCONNELL MUST IMMEDIATELY SEEK
HELP AND ADVISE FROM HIS CHINA LOVING WIFE, COCO CHOW!
WHAT THE HELL COULD THAT POSSIBLY MEAN?
THERE ARE ONLY TWO EXPLANATIONS. ONE, THAT'S OVERT RACISM.
OR TWO, HE'S SAYING SHE'S KIBBLE FOR CONAN O'BRIEN.
( LAUGHTER ) PRETENDED THEY DIDN'T HEAR
ANYTHING OFFENSIVE. CNN'S DANA BASH ASKED RICK SCOTT
WHAT HE THOUGHT. >> THIS APPEARS RACIST.
IS THAT OKAY? >> I HOPE NO ONE IS RACIST.
I HOPE NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING THAT'S INAPPROPRIATE.
>> Stephen: TOO LATE. ( LAUGHTER )
HOPE ALL YOU WANT. ( APPLAUSE )
IT'S LIKE WRITING ON A HEADSTONE, "I HOPE BILL DIDN'T
DIE." ( LAUGHTER )
PRESIDENT'S ALLIES: VLADIMIR PUTIN.
LAST WEEK, HE FORCED FOUR REGIONS OF OCCUPIED EASTERN
UKRAINE TO HOLD SHAM VOTES IN FAVOR OF JOINING RUSSIA, AND ON
FRIDAY, HE GAVE A BIG SPEECH ANNOUNCING RUSSIA WOULD
OFFICIALLY ANNEX THEM. CONGRATULATIONS, GUYS.
YOU'RE NOW PART OF RUSSIA, SO YOU CAN NOW ENJOY RUSSIA'S
NATIONAL PASTIME: FLEEING RUSSIA.
IN HIS SPEECH, PUTIN BOASTED ABOUT HOW POWERFUL RUSSIA IS.
>> (translated): RUSSIA IS A GREAT MILLENNIAL POWER.
>> Stephen: OH, RUSSIA IS A TOTAL MILLENNIAL.
( LAUGHTER ) SPIRALING INTO DEBT, AND THEY
LOVE AVOCADO TOAST, WHICH IN RUSSIA ...
IS POTATO. ( LAUGHTER )
NOW-- THEY REMEMBERED!pTHEY REM! NOW, YOU'RE PROBABLY SAYING,
"STEVE, THAT IS CRAZY, BUT AT LEAST HE DIDN'T SEAL THE DEAL BY
DOING A WEIRD HAND-PILE WITH ALL THE FAKE LEADERS OF HIS FAKE NEW
PROVINCES." WELL, PERSON I JUST MADE UP: YOU
ARE WRONG: HOLY SHORTY!
IS THAT PUTIN IN THE MIDDLE, OR WAS IT "TAKE YOUR CREEPY LITTLE
SON TO WORK DAY?" ( LAUGHTER )
IT OF LOOKED WEIRD BUT-- IT LOOK WEIRD, BUT IT GOT WEIRDER.
>> Stephen: I CAN'T QUITE HEAR WHAT THAT IS.
CAN YOU TURN THAT UP, JIM. I CAN'T HEAR WHAT THEY'RE
CHANTING. JIM, CAN YOU TURN UP THE
AUDIENCE MICS? >> LET'S GO YANKEES!
>> Stephen: WOW, EVERYONE WANTS AARON JUDGE TO HIT 62.
THAT'S INCREDIBLE. PITCH TO HIM!
HE ALSO MADE THIS SWEEPING DECREE:
>> (translated): I WANT EVERYONE TO REMEMBER THIS: THE
PEOPLE LIVING IN LUHANSK AND DONETSK, IN KHERSON AND
ZAPORIZHZHIA HAVE BECOME OUR CITIZENS FOREVER.
>> Stephen: THAT'S RIGHT! FOREVER!
OR, SEVERAL MINUTES, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
BECAUSE WHILE PUTIN WAS SPEAKING, UKRAINIAN FORCES WERE
RETAKING THE STRATEGIC CITY OF LYMAN.
IT'S JUST LIKE THE OLD SAYING-- ( APPLAUSE )
IT'S JUST LIKE THE OLD SAYING, "WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LYMANS,
UKRAINIAN FORCES WILL CRUSH YOU AND TAKE THEM BACK WITHIN 24
HOURS." ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
( APPLAUSE ) UKRAINIAN ADVANCE.
TODAY, THEY ALSO OVERRAN RUSSIAN FORCES IN RECENTLY-ANNEXED
KHERSON. ( APPLAUSE )
SO QUICKLY LOCALS DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO LEARN THAT THEY HAD BEEN
ANNEXED. THIS IS TRUE.
WHEN ONE RESIDENT WAS INFORMED SHE WAS BRIEFLY RUSSIAN, SHE
REPLIED, "I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT IT."
IT'S FUNNY TO ME, BECAUSE IT RECALLS A SAYING, 'WITHOUT ME,
THEY MARRIED ME." WOW, EASTERN EUROPEAN SAYINGS
ARE SO SAD. ( AS RUSSIAN )
BABY WITH BATHWATER. YOU WASTE PERFECTLY GOOD BABY
SOUP!'" I ANWAR SADAT!
I DID WARN YOU THAT THEY'RE ALL VERY SAD.
AS A TECHNICAL REASON, THE RUSSIAN ARMY'S GETTING ITS ASs
S KICKED: IT SUCKS. ACCORDING TO ONE UKRAINIAN UNIT
COMMANDER, THE RUSSIAN TROOPS HE'S FACED HAVE BEEN WEARING
FLIP-FLOPS, AND HE EVEN SAW TWO RUSSIAN SOLDIERS WHO HAD
ONLY ONE GUN BETWEEN THEM. ( AS RUSSIAN )
DISCUSSED THIS. ON TUESDAYS, I HOLD GUN, YOU
HOLD BULLETS! TOMORROW, I WEAR FLIP, YOU WEAR
FLOP." ( APPLAUSE )
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AND FOCUS UP RIGHT HERE BECAUSE THERE HAS
BEEN A DEVASTATING SCANDAL IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS.
AT A FISHING TOURNAMENT IN CLEVELAND ON FRIDAY, A DUO THAT
HAD BEEN DECLARED WINNERS WERE CAUGHT CHEATING.
OF COURSE, THIS IS FISHING, SO AFTER THEY WERE CAUGHT, THEY
WERE RELEASED. ( LAUGHTER )
I DIDN'T REALIZE-- I DIDN'T REALIZE I DESERVED THAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU'RE VERY GENEROUS.
NOW, IT'S A LAKESIDE FISHING SCANDAL SO EXPLOSIVE, MANY ARE
CALLING IT "WATERGATE." >> I AM NOT A CARP!
( LAUGHTER ). CARP.
THEY PUNCHED THAT CARP. THAT'S VERY NICE.
THE CONTROVERSY HAPPENED AT THE LAKE ERIE WALLEYE TRAIL
CHAMPIONSHIP, WHERE JUDGES GREW SKEPTICAL WHEN FIVE FISH,
ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT FOUR POUNDS EACH, WEIGHED IN AT
NEARLY 34 POUNDS. I GUESS YOU COULD SAY THE JUDGES
SMELLED SOMETHING... SUSPICIOUS.
( LAUGHTER ) HERE'S THE MOMENT THEY GOT
CAUGHT TRYING TO CHEAT THEIR WAY TO A $28,000 PRIZE:
>> WE GOT WEIGHTS IN FISH! GET THE (BLEEP) OUT OF HERE!
CALL THE COPS! I'LL EXECUTE HIM.
THAT'S (BLEEP) THEFT, (BLEEP). CALL THE (BLEEP) COPS.
CALL THEM, THEN. ( BLEEP )
JASON, WE GOTTA FILE A POLICE REPORT.
CALL THEM THEN. ALL OF THEM.
EVERY (BLEEP) ONE. ALL OF THEM.
EVERY SINGLE (BLEEP) FISH. >> Stephen: OKAY, THAT GOT REAL
HEATED REAL FAST. THOUGH, TO BE FAIR, EVERY
PARKING LOT IN OHIO COMES WITH A STOCKPILE OF ANGRY DADS IN BASS
PRO SHOP HATS: "AM I DRUNK, OR AM I JUST LIKE
THIS? THIS IS OBVIOUSLY ABOUT
SOMETHING MUCH DEEPER, MAYBE MY DAD!
HE WAS SO ANGRY, AND I NEVER KNEW WHY.
I'M SO ANGRY! I FEEL LIKE I HAVE A LEAD WEIGHT
INSIDE OF ME! SOMEBODY WEIGH ME!
I CAN'T BE THIS HEAVY!" ( LAUGHTER )
AAARs RRHHHH! THESE CHEATERS WEREN'T JUST
JUICING THE FISH WITH LEAD. TAKE A LOOK:
>> A FILETED FISH. >> A PLILAY, YEAH.
IT'S A WALLEYE FILET. >> Stephen: THEY PUT FISH
INSIDE THEIR FISH. YOU CAN FIND IT ALL IN THE
NEW DISNEY CLASSIC: "FINDING NEMO...
STUFFED WITH OTHER NEMOS." WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU
TONIGHT. THE CREATOR OF "VEEP" AND
"AVENUE 5," ARMANDO IANNUCCI IS HERE.
BUT WHEN WE COME BACK, THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE NANCY
PELOSI. RIGHT THERE.
( APPLAUSE ) WELCOME BACK EVERYBODY.
GIVE IT UP FOR LOUIS CATO AND THE LATE SHOW BAND.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Louis: STEPHEN.
>> Stephen: IT'S A LITTLE CHILLY IN THE AIR RIGHT NOW.
>> Louis: IT'S PRETTY CHILLY TODAY.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN FEEL THE FALL COMING ON, I LOVE IT.
>> Louis: YOU LOVE IT. TODAY WAS LIKE A STEP ABOVE
FALL. >> Stephen: WE WENT STRAIGHT
FROM SUMMER INTO DEEP FALL. IT WENT FROMITAL COMPOWDER TO
CHAPSTICK IN 24 HOURS. YEAH, EXACTLY RIGHT HERE.
YOU KNOW WHO WE'VE GOT ON TONIGHT, MY FRIEND.
WE HAVE, FIRST OF ALL, AN ARTIST I'VE NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO
INTERVIEW BEFORE, BUT WHOSE WORK I ADMIRE ARMANDO IANNUCCI WHO
CREATED "STR "THICK" AND "VE" MY FIRST GUEST HAS REPRESENTED
CALIFORNIA VOTERS FOR 35 YEARS, AND MADE HISTORY WHEN SHE BECAME
FIRST FEMALE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.
PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE SHOW," SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI.
♪ YOU MAKE ME FEEL YOU MAKE ME FEEL YOU MAKE ME
FEEL LIKE A NATURAL WOMAN. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
MADAM SPEAKER. THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK.
>> MY PLEASURE. >> Stephen: GOOD TO SEE YOU
AGAIN. >> NICE TO BE HERE, IN PERSON.
>> Stephen: HOW HAVE YOU BEEN? >> Stephen: I KNOW, WE TALKED
OVER ZOOM ONE TIME BUT WE HAVEN'T ACTUALLY SPOKEN SINCE
PRESIDENT BIDEN WAS INAUGURATED. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: SINCE BEFORE THAT. A LOT HAS HAPPENED.
>> A GREAT DEAL. >> Stephen: SINCE THEN.
BUT BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, OVER 15 YEARS AGO, YOU-- YOU BROKE
ONE OF THE GREATEST GLASS CEILINGS IN AMERICA IN BECOMING
THE FIRST FEMALE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.
( APPLAUSE ) ELECTED SPEAKER AGAIN.
AND NOW YOU HAVE SOME COMPANY BEHIND THE PRESIDENT AT THE
STATE OF THE UNION. HOW DOES IT FEEL?
( APPLAUSE ) PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS BACK
THERE WITH YOU DURING THE STATE OF THE UNION?
>> WELL, IT WAS VERY EXCITING, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE.
OF COURSE, PERSONALLY, KAMALA IS FROM CALIFORNIA, SO WE HAVE
KNOWN HER. BUT OFFICIALLY, IT WAS A GREAT
HONOR. BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT, WHEN WE
WERE THERE WHAT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT WAS NOT THAT THE TWO
OF US WERE THERE, BUT WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID IN HIS SPEECH
ABOUT WOMEN, ABOUT MORE WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE AND ROLES OF
LEADERSHIP, WHETHER IT'S GOVERNMENT, ACADEMIA, WHEREVER
IT WAS. AND HE TALKED ABOUT CHILD CARE
AND CHILD TAX CREDIT AND FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE AND HOME
HEALTHCARE, AND ALL OF THE INITIATIVES THAT WOULD ENABLE
MORE WOMEN TO BALANCE HOME AND WORK.
AND THAT WAS WHAT WAS SO EXCITING FOR THE TWO OF US TO
HEAR THE PRESIDENT HAVE AN AGENDA NOT JUST ABOUT THE
HISTORY WE WERE MAKING, BUT THE PROGRESS THE AMERICAN WOMEN
WOULD BE MAKING UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP.
( APPLAUSE ) THAT.
I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. WOULD YOU ALSO AGREE THAT IT
WOULD BE EXCITING SOME DAY TO SEE TWO MEN BACK HERE AND A
WOMAN STANDING UP THERE GIVING THE STATE OF THE UNION SOMETIME?
( APPLAUSE ).
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) QUICK BREAK.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI.
STICK AROUND, EVERYBODY.
>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY, LOOK THERE.
IT IS SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE NANCY PELOSI.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT SLIM MAJORITY THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE
RIGHT NOW. YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, CONTROL
COMES AND CONTROL GOES. YOU WERE SPEAKER FROM 2007-2011.
AND THEN ONCE AGAIN IN 2017 BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS
CONTROLLED, FOR THOSE SIX YEARS-- SEVEN YEARS IN BETWEEN.
IN 2018, WHEN YOU WERE SITTING RIGHT THERE IN THAT CHAIR, YOU
CAME ON HERE, AND YOU PREDICTED THAT THE DEMOCRATS WERE GOING TO
PICK UP SEATS IN THE CONGRESS ON A LARGE SCALE.
THEY DID. THEY PICKED UP 40 SEATS IN THE
HOUSE, A REAL WAVE. WHAT IS YOUR PREDICTION FOR THE
ELECTION THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN A MONTH AWAY?
MADAM SPEAKER, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
>> OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WELL, I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED THAT
QUESTION BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN THE HOUSE-- HOLD THE
HOUSE. AND WE WILL HOLD THE HOUSE--
( APPLAUSE ) WE WON THE 40 SEATS.
THEN WE LOST SOME WHEN TRUMP WAS ON THE BALLOT.
WE LOST SOME IN THE TRUMP DISTRICTS.
BUT WE HELD ENOUGH SEATS TO HOLD THE HOUSE WITH HIM ON THE
BALLOT. HE'S NOT ON THE BALLOT NOW.
OH, DID I SAY HIS NAME? I DIDN'T MEAN TO.
( APPLAUSE ) VIDEOTAPES FUMIGATED.
>> PERHAPS YOU COULD BLEEP THAT OUT.
>> Stephen: NO WORRIES. NO WORRIES.
IT IS A FAMILY SHOW. ( LAUGHTER )
CONFIDENCE THOOD? BECAUSE ALL THE
PROGNOSTICATORS-- CERTAINLY SIX MONTHS AGO THEY SAID IT WAS
GOING TO BE THIS CRAZY RED WAVE. NOW IT LOOKS LIGHTLY THE
DEMOCRATS WILL HOLD THE SENATE BUT THERE IS STILL A FLIGHT
FAVOR FOR THE REPUBLICANS TO TAKE THE HOUSE.
>> YOU READY? >> Stephen: ALWAYS.
>> HERE'S THE THING, WHEN WE WON IN 2020, AGAIN FEWER SEATS, BUT
STILL HOLDING THE HOUSE, WE STARTED RIGHT AWAY TO PREPARE
FOR THE NEXT ELECTION IN TERMS OF ORGANIZATION, OWN THE GROUND.
WHEN YOU MOBILIZE, YOU MUST OWN THE GROUND TO TAKE OUT THE VOTE.
YOU HAVE TO DO THAT WITH INSPIRATION AND HOW WE PUT
TOGETHER OUR MESSAGING. THAT'S TE SECOND "M."
AND THE THIRD IS MONEY. WE'RE GETTING READY FOR THE
ELECTION. THAT WAS IN DECEMBER OF 2020.
IN JANUARY 6, YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, AN INSURRECTION
INCITED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES ON THE U.S.
CAPITOL, ON OUR CONSTITUTION, ON OUR DEMOCRACY.
THE GREATEST INFLUX OF CANDIDATES CAME FORWARD, YOUNG
PEOPLE, PEOPLE OF COLOR, PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT GENERATIONS,
DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS AND THE REST, THE BEAUTIFUL DIVERSITY OF
AMERICA, CAME FORWARD. THEY DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO
THOSE PUNDITS WHO SAID YOU CAN'T WIN.
THEY WENT IN WITH COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE THAT THEY COULD WIN.
SO WHEN "ROE V WADE" CAME DOWN, BOOM, WE WERE TOTALLY READY.
AND THAT JUST CAUSE AID WHOLE DIFFERENT ATTITUDE ON THE PART
OF SOME OF WHETHER WE COULD WIN. WE ALWAYS BELIEVED WE COULD WIN
BECAUSE WE KNEW WE HAD TO, BECAUSE OUR DEMOCRACY WAS ON THE
BALLOT, OUR PLANET WAS ON THE BALLOT.
EVERYTHING WAS ON THE BALLOT IN THIS ELECTION, MORE THAN IN
REGULAR MAJORITIES COME AND GO. >> Stephen: IT IS ON THE
BALLOT. YOU'RE TALKING A LITTLE LIKE
YOU'RE TALKING IN THE PAST TENSE, IF YOU DON'T MIND ME
POINTING THAT OUT. WE STILL HAVE A LITTLE MORE THAN
A MONTH TO GO. >> YES.
>> Stephen: THE POLLS STILL AREN'T REFLECTING NECESSARILY
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. DO YOU BELIEVE THERE THE POLLS.
>> LET ME SAY I SAID, "WAS ON THE BALLOT," WHEN PEOPLE DECIDED
TO RUN. >> Stephen: OKAY
>> AND NOW HERE THEY ARE DOING VERY WELL IN THEIR DISTRICTS.
WHEN YOU ASK ABOUT IT, HERE'S THE WAY WE SEE IT.
I'M FROM MARYLAND ORIGINALLY, AND CALIFORNIA A LONG TIME.
SO YOU KNOW THAT IT'S A HORSE RACING STATE.
AND IN THE-- IN MARYLAND, WHEN YOU'RE IN THE LEAD-- WHICH WE
BELIEVE WE ARE, WHICH WE BELIEVE WE ARE-- WE'RE IN THE LEAD,
YOU'RE IN THE STRETCH, WE MADE THE TURN.
IT'S FIVE WEEKS FROM TOMORROW IS THE ELECTION.
AND VOTING STARTS EVEN SOONER THAN THAT.
WHEN YOU'RE IN THE LEAD AND YOU'RE IN THE STRETCH, YOU WHIP
THE LEAD. AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE DOING.
WE'RE WHIPPING THE LEAD TO ENSURE A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
I FEEL JUST WATCHING EACH OF THE RACES-- FORGIVE ME FOR SAYING
THIS IN A VERY COLD-BLOOD WAY AS TO WHICH RACES WE CAN WIN TO
ENSURE THAT WE NOT ONLY HOLD THE HOUSE BUT WE INCREASE OUR
NUMBER. AND A REAL TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT
BIDEN. HE H HAS BEEN A GREAT PRESIDENT.
HAS ACCOMPLISHED-- WORKING AFFECT ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH.
AND THAT IS BEGINNING TO HAVE SOME APPRECIATION IN THE PUBLIC
IN TERMS OF HIS LEADERSHIP-- RESCUE PACKAGE, BIPARTISAN
INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE, THIS MOST RECENT INFLATION REDUCTION
ACT, THE CHIPS ACT, THE PACK ACT FOR OUR VETERANS.
THE PRESIDENT HAS DONE A REMARKABLE JOB AND WE HAVE BEEN
PROUD. ( APPLAUSE )
WE'RE STILL-- WE ARE STILL WAITING ON THE NEXT JANUARY 6
HEARING. WE HEARD RIGHT BEFORE YOU CAME
OUT HERE-- YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW THIS-- THAT IS POSSIBLY ON
THURSDAY THE 13th IS WHEN THE NEXT JANUARY 6 HEARING WOULD
BE. YOU SAID YOU WOULD NEVER FORGET
OR FORGIVE THAT DAY. TO YOU WHAT IS THE IDEAL OUTCOME
OF THESE HEARINGS? >> THE TRUTH.
THE TRUTH. THAT IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT, IT'S
ABOUT-- ( APPLAUSE )
AMERICAN PEOPLE SO THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN, NEVER HAPPENS
AGAIN. ( APPLAUSE )
I'M SO PROUD OF THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE IN A BIPARTISAN WAY,
EVEN THOUGH THE REPUBLICANS HAD REJECTED AN OUTSIDE PANEL.
MITCH McCONNELL WENT TO HIS COLLEAGUES AND SAID, "DO ME A
FAVOR AND DON'T VOTE FOR THE OUTSIDE COMMISSION."
IMAGINE. AND THE PRESIDENT SAYING WHAT
HE'S SAYING ABOUT HIM NOW. HE ALWAYS WAS PROTECTING THE
PRESIDENT. BUT ENOUGH OF HIM.
ABOUT THE FUTURE-- ( LAUGHTER )
THOMPSON AND THE HEARTLAND OF AMERICA THAT HE REPRESENTS AND
LIZ CHENEY-- I MEAN, SO REMARKABLE.
SO MUCH COURAGE. ( APPLAUSE )
TAKE A QUICK BREAK. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE
SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI, EVERYBODY. ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY, IT IS SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE NANCY
PELOSI. MADAM SPEAKER, 35 YEARS AGO,
YOUR FRIEND, THIS WOMAN RIGHT HERE, REPRESENTATIVE BURTON WAS
DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER. AND SHE ASKED YOU TO RUN FOR HER
SEAT. WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO SAY TO
HER NOW IF YOU COULD ABOUT THE PATH THAT SHE SET YOU ON.
>> WELL, THAT'S SO NICE OF YOU TO SAY, BECAUSE THIS WAS REALLY
QUITE UNUSUAL THAT A WOMAN WOULD BE INDICATING WHO SHE WANTED TO
HAVE AS HER SUCCESSOR. MEN DID THAT ALL THE TIME, BUT
HERE WAS A WOMAN OFFERING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO RUN.
I HAD NEVER INTENDED TO RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE, EVER.
I HAVE FIVE CHILDREN. I WAS RAISING MY FAMILY.
AND WHEN THIS TIME CAME AND SHE OFFERED THIS, I SAID, "WELL,
I'VE NEVER EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT RUNNING FOR OFFICE.
I'M BASICALLY A SHY PERSON. I DON'T WANT TO PUT MYSELF OUT
THERE." >> Stephen: YOU DO SEEM VERY
SHY. ( LAUGHTER ).
THIS IS NOW. BUT IN ANY EVENT, SO I WENT TO
ALEXANDRA, WHO YOU KNOW, OUR YOUNGEST DAUGHTER, WHO WAS 16 AT
THE TIME, GOING INTO SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL.
AND I SAID, "ALEXANDRA, MOMENT HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO RUN FOR
CONGRESS. I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL WIN, BUT
SALA ASKED ME TO RUN AND SAID IT WOULD MAKE HER FEEL BETTER IF I
RAN. I LOVE MY LIFE AND I DON'T NEED
TO RUN FOR OFFICE, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HONOR HER REQUEST
BECAUSE IT'S HISTORIC THAT A WOMAN IS SAYING TO ANOTHER WOMAN
'RUN FOR OFFICE '." I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW HOW
HISTORIC THAT IS. THAT WAS QUITE REMARKABLE.
I SAID,s, ALEXANDRA, MOMMY WILL BE GONE LIKE THREE NIGHTS A
WEEK IF I WIN, I'LL BE GONE THREE NIGHTS A WEEK, BUT ANY
ANSWER IS OKAY." AND SHE SAID, "MOTHER--" I KNEW
I WAS IN TROUBLE. I WAS I WAS SAYING MOMMY, AND
SHE WAS SAYING MOTHER. SHE SAID, "MOG, GET A LIFE."
I HAD NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE. SHOTHIS WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
WHAT TEENAGED GIRL WOULD NOT WANT HER MOTHER OUT OF THE HOUSE
THREE NIGHTS A WEEK? ( APPLAUSE )
PEOPLE SAY TO ME.
SALA SAW SOMETHING IN YOU THAT SHE WAS INSISTING THAT YOU RUN,
AND I HOPE THAT I HAVE HONORED THE CONFIDENCE THAT SHE PLACED
IN ME. BUT THE FIRST DAY ON THE FLOOR
OF THE HOUSE, WHEN I WAS SWORN IN, IN A SPECIAL ELECTION
BECAUSE SALA HAD DIED, I WENT ON THE FLOOR AND I SAID-- I TOLD MY
CONSTITUENTS THAT WHEN I CAME HERE THEY WOULD TELL THEM THAT
SALA SENT ME AND THAT I HAVE COME HERE TO FIGHT AGAINST
H.I.V. AND AIDS. THEY WERE MY VERY FIRST WORDS ON
THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE. AND THAT'S ABOUT ALL I SAID,
EXCEPT TO THANK MY PARENTS AND MY CONSTITUENTS.
AND H.I.V. AND AIDS WERE JUST-- JUST SO HORRIBLE IN OUR
COMMUNITY AND IN THE COUNTRY AT THAT TIME.
SO I SAY TO SALA, WE'RE STILL FIGHTING TO MAKE SURE THE
QUALITY OF LIFE EXISTS, AND HOPEFULLY SOME DAY WE'LL HAVE A
CURE. BUT THE FIGHT AGAINST H.I.V. AND
AIDS HAS HELPED US IN MARRIAGE EQUALITY AND OTHER DIAGNOSES
HAVE BENEFITTED FROM THE MODEL THAT THE GRASS ROOTS PUT OUT
THERE. AND WE CAN MANEUVER INTERNALLY
IN CONGRESS. BUT WHAT THE OUTSIDE
MOBILIZATION IS MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
AND SALA WAS AN OUTSIDE MOBILIZER FOLLOWED THAT
TRADITION. >> Stephen: MY NEXT GUEST IS A
GUY NAMED ARMANDO IANNUCCI, WHO CREATED, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
"VEEP." HAVE YOU EVER SEEN "VEEP"?
>> YES, I'VE SEEN IT A NUMBER OF TIMES.
>> Stephen: DOES IT SEEM ACCURATE TO HOW WASHINGTON IS?
>> NO, OF COURSE NOT. >> Stephen: NO?
ENCHL'S REALLY NICE IN WASHINGTON AND NO ONE EVER STABS
EACH OTHER IN THE BACK, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?
>> OH, I DON'T MEAN THAT. I JUST MEANT--
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: NO ONE EVER USES
FOUL LANGUAGE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?
>> NOT IN FRONT OF ME. NOT IN FRONT OF THE SPEAKER.
BUT THE STAR OF THE SHOW IS REALLY A STAR IN LIFE AS WELL.
>> Stephen: JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS.
>> SHE IS JUST REMARKABLE. I'M A BIG FAN OF HERS.
SO I'VE SEEN IT FROM TIME TO TIME.
IF I HAVE ANY TIME TO WATCH TV IT'S SPORTS AND "THE STEPHEN
COLBERT SHOW." ( APPLAUSE ).
IT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, NANCY
PELOSI, EVERYBODY. THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH ARMANDO IANNUCCI.
( APPLAUSE ) WELCOME BACK.
HAY, EVERYBODY. MY NEXT GUEST IS THE CREATIVE
GENIUS BEHIND "VEEP," "THE THICK OF IT," AND "THE DEATH OF
STALIN." HIS SERIES "AVENUE 5" RETURNS TO
HBO NEXT WEEK FOR ITS SECOND SEASON.
PLEASE WELCOME TO "THE LATE SHOW," ARMANDO IANNUCCI!
♪ ♪ ♪ ( APPLAUSE ).
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> Stephen: IT'S A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU.
I'VE REALLY ADMIRED YOUR WORK FOR SO MANY YEARS.
>> OH, THANK YOU. >> Stephen: "THE THICK OF IT,"
"IN THE LOOP," "THE DEATH OF STALIN."
"VEEP," AND NOW "AVENUE 5". ON HBO.
OKAY. ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: YOU CREATED "VE "VEEP," A PART OF WHAT MAKES IT
SO FUNNY IS THE CHARACTERS PUT UP ALL ABOUT APPEARANCES.
>> YES. >> Stephen: IT'S ALL ABOUT
FACADE. AND THEN BEHIND THE SCENES
THEY'RE INCREDIBLY CRUEL TO EACH OTHER.
WHERE DID THAT IDEA COME FROM? >> LIFE.
>> Stephen: FROM LIFE, OKAY. >> I JUST-- YOU KNOW, AS YOU
GROW UP, YOU SUDDENLY REALIZE NO MATTER HOW IMPRESSIVE PEOPLE
ARE, OR THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE, THE MORE YOU GET TO
KNOW THEM, THE MORE YOU REALIZE THEY'RE JUST LIKE YOU AND ME.
THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO GET THROUGH THE DAY WITHOUT GETTING
CAUGHT. WHEN I WAS RESEARCHING FOR
"VEEP," THE REALLY IMPOSING LOOKING BUILDING FROM THE
OUTSIDE, LIKE THE STATE DEPARTMENT, YOU REALIZE WHEN YOU
GO IN, IT'S JUST LIKE AN OFFICE. I GOT INTO THE STATE
DEPARTMENT-- A JOURNALIST TOLD ME IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO THE
STATE DEPARTMENT, JUST GO UP TO THEM AND SAY, "I'M FROM THE BBC.
I'M HERE FOR THE 6:30." I SAID, OKAY.
AND I SHOWED THEM MY PASS, WHICH WAS, LIKE, YOU KNOW, A CHILD OR
CHIMPANZEE COULD HAVE PRINTED IT.
IT JUST SAID BBC AND MY NAME AND A PHOTO.
I SAID I'M HERE FROM THE BBC. I'M HERE FOR THE 6:30.
"OH, COME ON IN." I WAS LEFT TO WARNED AROUND THE
STATE DEPARTMENT ON MY OWN. AND I THOUGHT A DESIGNER WANTS
TO GET A GOOD IDEA WHAT IT'S LIKE, SO I'LL TAKE SOME PHOTOS.
I WAS GOING AROUND, UNATTENDED, GOING AROUND, THINKING THIS IS
FUN, AND ALSO INTERNATIONAL ESPIONAGE.
( LAUGHTER ) AND THEN THIS HUGE GUY CAME
AROUND THE CORNER, "EXCUSE ME." I SAID, "I'M HERE FOR THE 6:30."
AND HE SAID, "OH, IT'S JUST OVER THERE."
AND, YET, THIS IMPOSE AGO THIS-- EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE IT KNOWS
WHAT IT'S DOING. AND SOMEBODY TOLD ME, ALSO, THAT
THEY DON'T LIKE FUNDING GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS.
THEY DON'T LIKE USING TAXPAYERS' MONEY TO FUND FEDERAL BUILDINGS.
SO THE FURNITURE IN THE STATE DEPARTMENT IS MISMATCHED.
THEY BOUGHT ONE SET OF DESKS FROM ONE COMPANY AND THE CHAIRS
FROM ANOTHER COMPANY. AND THE CHAIRS ARE TOO BIG TO GO
UNDER THE DESKS. SO YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE IN THE
STATE DEPARTMENT DOING POLICY ON CHINA, BUT LIKE THAT BECAUSE
THEY CAN'T-- ( LAUGHTER )
YOU KNOW.
>> Stephen: SURE. IT'S PROBABLY THE DESK CAME FROM
ONE CONSTITUENCY AND THE CHAIRS CAME FROM ANOTHER DISTRICT.
>> A SENATOR FROM DELAWARE THAT THEY BUY THE DESK FROM.
>> Stephen: SURE. >> SO WHEN YOU'RE WATCHING
FOREIGN POLICY BEING ENACTED, JUST REMEMBER IT IS DREAMT UP BY
SOMEONE LIKE THAT. >> Stephen: WELL, YOU'VE GOT
SOME INTERESTING NEWS AND INTERESTING POLITICS ANYTHING ON
IN THE U.K. RIGHT NOW. >> OH, YES.
>> Stephe: DESPITE THE FACT THE PASSING OF THE QUEEN, YOU
HAVE A NEW PRIME MINISTER, LIZ TRUSS.
>> WE HAVE A NEW PRIME MINISTER, THE QUEEN DIED AND WE'VE HAD A
RUN ON THE POUND. IT'S-- A LOT OF PEOPLE
COMPLAINED ABOUT THE FINAL SERIES OF "GAME OF THRONES" IN
WHICH LOTS OF BING THINGS HAPPENED REALLY FAST.
>> Stephen: RIGHT. >> AND THAT IS NOTHING COMPARED
TO WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE U.K. NOW.
SO, YES, WE HAVE THIS STRANGE PRIME MINISTER CALLED LIZ TRUSS,
WHO I DON'T KNOW IF SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING OR HOW TO DO
IT. >> Stephen: THERE'S A SENSE--
I HEARD THIS RUMOR-- THAT SHE SORT OF SEES HERSELF AS A
TRANSFORMATIVE FIGURE LIKE MARGARET THATCHER BUT SHE
DOESN'T HAVE THE PERSONALITY TO FILL A SHOE BOX.
>> YOU KNOW HER. >> Stephen: WE'VE SEEN THE
VIDEO. WE SAW THE CURTSY.
>> THE CURTSY. THAT'S A KIND OF-- ONERA.
NOT KNOWING HOW TO CURTSY. WE'RE TAUGHT FROM A VERY YOUNG
AGE IN BRITAIN HOW TO CURTSY. >> Stephen: I BET YOU HAVE A
GREAT CURTSY. >> OH, YES.
IN THE WOMB WE'RE TAUGHT HOW TO CURTSY SO WHEN WE COME OUT WE
CURTSY TO YOUR MOTHER. ( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: IS SHE A KNOWN FIGURE?
HAS SHE BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME?
>> SHE'S BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME, BUT NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA
WHAT SHE DOES. EVERYONE THINGS SOMEBODY ELSE
INVITED HER. AND NOW SHE FINDS HERSELF IN
NUMBER 10, AND SHE STILL DOESN'T KNOW.
ALREADY TODAY SHE'S DONE ANOTHER U-TURN.
SHE CAME OUT WITH A VERY CLEVER IDEA OF LOWERING THE TA TACK--
TAXES FOR THE RICH AND PAYING FOR IT BY CUTTING BENEFITS FOR
THE POOR. THAT PROVED UNPOPULAR
( LAUGHTER ) SHE WAS INSISTING IT WAS THE
RIGHT THING TO DO, UNTIL TODAY, WHEN SHE SAID IT WAS THE WRONG
THING TO DO. AND SHE'S LEARNED FROM THAT.
>> Stephen: IS IT TRUE THAT OVER THE WEEKEND, SHE GAVE
INTERVIEWS TO NEWSPAPERS, BUT THERE WAS AN EMBARGO ON THE
INTERVIEWS, SO THEY COULDN'T BE RELEASED--
>> UNTIL TOMORROW. SHE'S GIVING HER SPEECH
TOMORROW. >> Stephen: BUT SHE-- IN
BETWEEN SHE CHANGED HER POSITION SO THEY'RE GOING TO RUN THE OLD
INTERVIEWS WITH HER PREVIOUS POSITION THAT SHE'S NOW FLIPPED
ON. >> YES, THAT DELIGHT AWAITS US
BACK IN THE U.K. >> Stephen: SEASON TWO OF
"AVENUE 5" IS STARTING. IT TAKES PLACE IN THE FUTURE ON
A SPACE CRUISE-- A CRUISE, LUXLY LINER IN SPACE THAT'S GONE AWRY.
>> YES, A BILLIONAIRE HAS GOT INTO SPACE TOURISM, JOSH GAD.
AND IT'S A CRUISE LINE. 6,000 PEOPLE.
THEY WERE MEANT TO BE UP THERE FOR EIGHT WEEKS.
SOMETHING GOES WRONG. THEY'RE STUCK FOR EIGHT YEARS.
AND THAT'S-- AND IT'S REALLY ABOUT JUST HOW DO PEOPLE GET ON
WITH EACH OTHER IF THEY HAVE TO TRY AND, YOU KNOW, SURVIVE.
>> Stephen: IS THERE ANY RELATIONSHIP-- WHAT'S THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THIS SHOW AND YOUR PREVIOUS WORK?
IS THERE A COMMON THREAD? >> IT'S ABOUT LEADERSHIP.
HUGH LAURIE PLAYS THE EXPORT, EXCEPT HE'S NOT A REAL CAPTAIN.
HE JUST LOOKS LIKE A CAPTAIN, AND CAN'T DO A QUITE GOOD
AMERICAN ACCENT, BUT HE ISN'T REALLY A CAPTAIN.
AND SUDDENLY HE FINDS HIMSELF HAVING TO PRETEND TO KNOW WHAT
HE'S DOING. I SUPPOSE THERE'S THAT, THAT
SENSE OF-- AGAIN, IT GOES BACK TO ARE WE GOING TO BE FOUND OUT?
DO WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING, REALLY?
IT'S ABOUT THAT, I SUPPOSE. >> Stephen: AND THE MESSAGE
THAT IS COMMON THROUGHOUT YOUR WORK IS, NO, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT
WE'RE DOING. >> NO, BUT KIND OF ENJOY IT AS
YOU'RE DOING IT, I THINK. YOU KNOW, JUST...
SHOW NO DOUBT. THE MOMENT YOU SHOW DOUBT, THEN
THAT'S-- I'M SURE THAT EVEN PUTIN WHEN HE'S DOING HIS KIND
OF "WE WILL TAKE BACK, OURS FOREVER."
I'M SURE AT THE END OF IT HE GOES, "WAS THAT OKAY?"
"WAS THAT ALL RIGHT?" ( LAUGHTER )
EVIL, WAS I? IS?
( LAUGHTER ) I'LL DO IT AGAIN."
>> Stephen: IT WAS LOVELY TO HAVE YOU HERE.
>> NICE TO BE HERE. >> Stephen: SEASON TWO OF
"AVENUE 5" PREMIERES ONE WEEK FROM TODAY ON HBO.
