Its the late show with Stephen Colbert. Tonight, stephen welcomes Liev Schreiber. Joe buck. And sonequa martingreen. Featuring jon batiste and stay human. And now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, its Stephen Colbert cheers and applause stephen hey thank you very much hey, everybody welcome to the late show. Im your host, Stephen Colbert. Donald trump did more things today. For instance, he traveled to north dakota to talk tax reform. And by talk tax reform, i mean rambled incoherently until they turned his mic off. Trump started by addressing local issues, like north dakotas current drought. But you have a pretty serious drought. I just said to the governor, i didnt know you had droughts this far north. Guess what . You have them. laughter they know. I didnt know you had a north dakota, but they have one. Its north and the south at the same time. But you have a pretty serious drought. Dont tell them i told you this, but those people in houston are screwed, okay . They had the absolute opposite upon a trout. The opposite im foor getting the word for it. Im going to go with big wet. Theyve got a big wet down there. There is no one who is not insulted. Then he got to the heat of the meat, the reason he was there. He laid out his tax plan. Here are my four basic principles for tax reform first, we need a tax code that is simple, fair, and easy to understand. Second, we will cut taxes for middleclass families. Third, we need a tax code that restores our competitive edge. Stephen fourth, im never releasing my tax returns. Ever. laughter okay. Trump also talked about the of manufacturing labels. All around the world will be lined, once again, with products proudly bearing the words made in the u. S. A. What do you like better . Ready . Made in america . Made in the u. S. A. . What do you like . You like made in the u. S. A. . Seems to be. We should pick one or the other, probably. Stephen yeah, we should definitely pick one. And then the Electoral College can just pick the other one. laughter cheers and applause he seems i think thats how it works. I think thats i think thats how it works now. I think thats how it works now. He seems to think the president s job is to pick the labels that go on products. You like made in the usa better . Great, ill have my factory in china crank out a bunch of those. laughter applause okay, my ties, her shoes, the labels. And trump also referenced a recent conversation he with a foreign leader. I spoke to a leader of a major, major country recently, big, big country. They say our country is very big. Its hard to grow. Well, believe me, this country is very big. Stephen im not going to tell you which country it was, but it rhymes with braustralia. laughter and fun fact im lying. I didnt talk to anybody. laughter and if youre worried that donald trump doesnt have a real plan for the economy, thats fair. My administration strongly rejects this offshoring model, and weve embraced a new model its called the american model, very simple, the american model. Stephen im not surprised. He is known for embracing american models. Doesnt even ask. Just grabs him. cheers and applause thats an oldy but goody. Thats an olding thats an oldy but baddie. But by far, the most awkward moment and for trump thats a pretty high bar was when he brought up ivanka. Sometimes theyll say, you know, he cant be that bad a guy. Look at ivanka. No, come on up, honey. Shes so good. She wanted to make the trip. She said, dad, can i go with you . She actually said, daddy, can i go with you . I like that, right . Daddy, can i go with you . Yes, you can. Stephen not weird at all. All of trumps advisors call him daddy. Sean spicer was actually the one who started it. laughter as trump so sensitively mentioned, texas is still dealing with the aftermath of Hurrican Harvey. And they will be for years. Meanwhile, another hurricane, irma, is bearing down on florida. Its the largest atlantic hurricane ever reported. Experts say its the size of france. Hey this is america we measure things in delawares. laughter applause how many dell wares is france, do we know . How many dell wares is france . 10 . Its 10. 10 dell wares. Thats frightening. One france, i can handle one trance. 10 delawares getting the hell out of here. So irma is a frighteningly intense storm, but dont worry, President Trump is tweeting at it. Watching hurricane closely. My team, which has done and is doing such a good job in texas, is already in florida. No rest for the weary thats a really oddly casual way to describe exhausted First Responders racing to save lives. It reminds me of f. D. R. s pearl harbor speech. The United States of america was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the empire of japan, but thats the way the cookie crumbles laughter stephen took it with a lot of aplumb. Dont forget to tune in next tuesday for the hand in hand benefit. Its raising money for those affected by Hurrican Harvey and hurricane irma. I will be there on the show, working the phones. Give me a call. Ask me what im wearing. Nothing. laughter remember the 2016 campaign . If you really want to go back and relive every excruciating detail, good news Hillary Clinton has a new book, what happened. Which is better than the original title anybody wanna buy a barge full of unused fireworks . Still stings a little. Of course, it will also be available in audiobook. In fact, we have a clip. You got to be kidding me. Damn it stephen im surprised they allowed china in there. They put, like, a tea set in there with her. Im surprised they put that in the recording booth. Its about 10 hours of that. So the book does not hit shelves until september 12, but some excerpts have started to leak. For example, hillary admits that, in the past, for reasons i try to explain, ive often felt i had to be careful in public. Now im letting my guard down. A little late laughter its like a pilot crash landing and then saying, those who are still alive, please put up your tray tables. laughter the book also has a lot of juicy peeks behind the scenes, like what it was like making the concession call to donald trump, saying, it was all perfectly nice and weirdly ordinary, like calling a neighbor to say you cant make it to his barbecue. Oh, which is a shame, because she was supposed to bring a cold salad and competent leadership. applause sure, why not . Leadership. Why not. Lets encourage it. While we can. If there are any diehard hillary fans out there, you can see her in person when she goes on her book tour to spots like michigan and wisconsin. Again, a little late to be going to michigan and wisconsin. applause but the big thing people are focusing on from the book is her criticism of bernie sanders. She describes feeling muzzled during the primary. President obama urged me to grit my teeth and lay off bernie as much as i could. I felt like i was in a straitjacket. Which is ironic, because bernies the one who looks like hes a mental patient. Joe stalin is underneath my bed. I am saving my urine in jars to keep it from being collected by the ascended masters of the red squad who seek to absorb me into the hive mind. Next question. And she. applause and she also in the back, she also talks about what it was like debating sanders who promised the voters the world. Hillary would propose a plan then bernie would announce basically the same thing, but bigger. On issue after issue, it was like he kept promising fourminute abs, or even nominutes abs. Magic abs its true. And faced with the choice between hillarys daily workout plan and bernies nominute abs, america went with potato ass. laughter applause a little butter, a little butter. Some sour cream. Some chives, bacon bits in there. In the book, she even reprints a supporters Facebook Post characterizing her dynamic with bernie. Bernie i think america should get a pony. Hillary how will you pay for the pony . Where will the pony come from . How will you get congress to agree to the pony . Bernie hillary thinks america doesnt deserve a pony. Bernie supporters hillary hates ponies. Hillary hates ponies, specifically, twilight, sparkle, rainbow dash, applejack, fluttershy, and pinkie pie. Are my bernie bronies in the house tonight . All in all that was very kind. All in all, hillarys book is a sobering look at how easily people can be taken in by unrealistic promises. On a side note, bernies on the show tomorrow night. And i think hes gonna bring me a pony we have a great show for you tonight. Liev schreiber is here. When we return, ill be at that desk talking about barack obama. Stick around.

Give it up for the band. Jon yes, indeed. Looking good over here, boy stephen jon, i couldnt help but notice that you have a special guest in the band tonight. Would you tell the kind people who you have sitting in with the band tonight. Jon yes, indeed. We have the fabulous sheila e. Stephen welcome, sheila e. Shes got a new album out called, iconic message 4 america with and i heard this today, and its fantastic a new funk version of the National Anthem. And speeches by amazing leaders like barack obama, and Martin Luther king. Stephen listen to it. Its appropriate. I would say that a funk version of the of National Anthem is appropriate right now, because right now our nation is funked. There has been another leak from the white house, folks. Sunday, cnn released the letter that obama left for trump on his inauguration day. Apparently, trump has shown th thats like leaving a note for the babysitter saying, zoes bottle is in the fridge. By the way, zoe is a human toddler. Human toddlers require food and water, or they die. The letter starts off pretty straightforward, dear, mr. President , congratulations on your remarkable run. Nice opening. Not like sweet and sour bleep . What just happened . Nice, nice. Then, obama acknowledges the uncertainty of being president , writing, this is a unique Office Without a clear blueprint for success. True. Although, were getting a pretty detailed diagram of failure. laughter obama also told trump to remember really whats important. And, finally, take time, in the rush of events and responsibilities, for friends and family. Good advice. Once this whole russia investigation is over, i hope the president takes the time to visit don jr. In jail. He then signed applause he then signed the letter good luck and godspeed bo oh my god obamas dog bo wrote this amazing and at the bottom of the letter, obama added, p. S. , if it comes up, nazis are the bad guys. Well be right back with Liev Schreiber. Its like nothing youve seen. The power of nexium 24hr protection from frequent heartburn. All day, and all night.

Stephen not a nice guy, yago. He has some problems. He has some issue s. Stephen at the end of the play it doesnt say hes tortured to death offstage . I dont remember that part. They said he gets tortured to death . Doesnt he say, i will speak no more or something. Thats it. U he part. maybe. I dont know. Youre the guy. You play a lot of tough guys. Obviously saber tooth, and ray donovan is a tough guy. Are you a tough guy . No. I dont know why i do that. I think im absent minded. Stephen what . Im absebt minded, i forget things. And i think that face of forgetting things laughter applause . Translates on film as tough. Stephen i get it. And i think stephen let me try, can i try . Go ahead. laughter thats it. Its the adjustment, too. Did you see what he did with his eyes on the second part . Its because you start here and you go. And then you go. laughter and thats the 100yard stare. Stephen but we should not mistake your long pauses for hostility. Im just trying to remember my line. laughter . Stephen now, you you went to the yale school of drama, okay. Thats a good one. Its a good school, yeah. Stephen yale anything you throw a dart at it. Its expensive. Stephen its expensive. But you could make it back now. Its easy. Stephen go twice. Whatever. Sleep through half the classes. How actoraly was it . Were there acting exercises . Did you have to do vocal exercises . It was a great school. Stephen okay. But there was that a lot of that actorysmacktery stuff its a little silly like haha and all that stuff. laughter i took it seriously. I still do. The worst thick was this thing called the ring of fire, that wesley my favorite teacher, this wonderful grand dancer and teacher, taught movement. This is a real thing. He said you all get in a circle he would talk like this. You all get in a circle, and one at a time youll get in the middle of the circle, and its your job to make everybody laugh. And one by one we had to get in the center of this circle. And the most ridiculous bleep that people did. And it was so not funny. And so laughter terrifyingingly humiliating. But i guess his point was that to be an actor, or i guess to do anything in show business, the first thing you have to be willing to do is make a complete ass of yourself. Stephen yeah, yeah, you have to embrace humiliation. Thats it, yeah. So i did a i did a i thought it would be funny to do someone farting silently. Subtle. Stephen subtle. You know, a guy who is going to work in film. laughter . Stephen right, right. But the problem was without explaining to people in advance that what i was doing was silently farting, they had no concept of what i was doing. And i just looked like i couldnt remember my lines. laughter stephen again. Again. That was just sort of you know what . Now my son does it well, he did you ever see a baby, youre looking at them and they suddenly start to poo, that face. Stephen yeah, they look very happy suddenly. laughter applause now it works. Stephen yeah. Still a little hostile. Still slightly hostile. Can you do can you do silent fart face . Stephen sure. If you could do tough stephen sure, why not, sure, why not. laughter no, thats thats infant bleep face. Stephen oh,e i thought you said they were the same face. No, silent fart face is this . laughter applause stephen you see, i its different. Stephen no, that really played as yearning for a lost love. You were kind of like off in the distance. But you grew up on the Lower East Side. I did. Stephen tough guy. I did. Stephen thats a tough guy place to grow up, the Lower East Side. Was it the Lower East Side before it got im really old. Stephen how old are you . Im not going to talk about that. I grew up on the Lower East Side i was there i first got there in the early 70s and it was like ghettos. First street and first ave. Was the epicenter of five different ghettos. Below that was all orthodox jews. If you went a block east it was all puerto rican and dominican, and if you went a block north it was polish, if you went a block west, it was the bowery, the mens shelters. Surprisingly enough, it was actually pretty safe because these were all communities, tightknit communities, but in the late 70s, early 80s, when crack hit, that devastated the Lower East Side. And i remember that a little bit. I didnt know we were going to have, like, a history thing, but laughter im happy to tell you. Were you here . Stephen what . In the 70s . No, i visited it once. Where are you from . Stephen im from South Carolina . Theres a South Carolina . Stephen there is a South Carolina, yeah, yeah. laughter applause big was it big wet down there .

Please welcome joe buck. applause is there thanks for being here. Thanks for having me. Stephen now, life, ive never ive never called a game. What is what is the secret to being a great sports broadcaster . Whats the secret to the success . Is it the velvety voice . Is it the ability to turn a phrase . Is it a clear bias against new york sports teams, which is it . Yeah. Its not that funny. No, i get that a lot. But as it turns out, stephen, a great bladder is something that can really stephen a great bladder . It can really come in handy, and let me explain. One stephen im not sure if i will. laughter this is cbs it is a family show. What do you mean a great bladder . How does it work. Then well leave it at that. Stephen is it because you dont get to leave the booth. You dont really get to leave the booth. Most stadiums have a bathroom inside the broadcast booth where we are. But in the older stadiums you have to do a tom cruise pulleyandladder system to get to the bathroom in the midst of a commercial break. So the problem one time happened in milwaukee. The packers used to play a home game there. And im doing the game. First half is coming to a close. Were out of all the tv timeouts. And the half will not end. And im turning to people in the booth, taking my headset off going, ive got to pee. I have got to pee. The half will end, somebody gets hurt. Were on the entire time. Its absolutely horrendous. Im jumping up and down. Finally, we take a 30second break, and the guy who is working with me hands me a little water bottle, like am i william tell . Im going to shoot it in there . No, thats not going to work. So i slap that away. Im wearing this parka because its cold. They put a trash can in front of me. Ive got 20 seconds. Then i get stage fright. laughter i mean, im in a booth, for gods sake. Stephen is there a glass front on this booth . No, its wide open. laughter wide open. Stephen and cold, im guessing. And very cold. Its football yeah, you have to be out in the elements. So that presents a problem in and of itself. But i end up with stage fright. Theyre counting me back from commercial five, four, three and then, boom flood gates open, and i start peeing. The problem was, play resumed, and i actually called a touchdown live on national tv while peeing in a trash can. laughter applause thank you im very proud of that. Thank you stephen thats an inspiring story. Yeah, it is. Its one of the first stephen i dont know why you dont tell that one more often. Its one of the first ones i tell kids who want to get into broadcasting. Stephen you can explain what is going on here . One of my producers you brought this for us to look at. Yeah. Stephen im not sure what this is. It looks like the evidence that would be presented at your commitment hearing. Yeah. No, its bad. Stephen what is this . Its controlled chaos. Thats the thing i put together during the course of the week before an n. F. L. Game. I think people kind of assume we just show up. But we actually do put work in. And then im putting notes in during the course of the week. And i know where all those notes are to get to live during a game. Stephen what game is this . That is super bowl super bowl li. Stephen it says brady. Tom brady, exclamation point. Stephen hoos how you remember his name . Yeah, tom brady, hes number 12. And thats kind of how my moronic brain has to go. I have all these people around me. A play happens. A gay makes a cap. Hes called a spoart, hell point. Ill go, Martellus Bennett made that catch. And he flips it over, Robert Alfred made the tackle. And i look to another guy who has a grease aboard and its 15 yards. Stephen so you look like you know what youre talking about. Correct. Stephen you look at people who point to things. Otherwise 53 people on a roster and 32 teams theres no way you would know who people are. It would be like, big guy has the ball down the field oh, bigger guy hit him ive done that. Im not above that. Yeah. No, im not scared to do that. Stephen whats, like, the worst call youve made in all of your broadcast career, biggest mistake you made . This summer, i was doing the u. S. Open. Most people think, cbs, this very network is the great home to golf and it is because of jim nantz, who does what i do at your new york. Jim nantz would never make this mistakes. This young man wins the u. S. Open, and theres a beautiful girl bounding down the hillside to embrace the new u. S. Open champion, brooks kapka. And she keeps appearing in the pictures. And eventually i read the card and oh, theres, whatever, stacy johnson, brooks longtime girlfriend who is a great collegiate Soccer Player stephen we actually have a clip of this. Oh, good, great. Lets relive it. Leaving the field. His girlfriend, becky edwards, allamerican Soccer Player at florida state. Joe, thats actually his new girlfriend. Thats jenna simms. Theyre all staying together this week. Thank you stephen thats a tough call. Thats a tough call. That sucks. Stephen is that in the new book . You have a new book lucky bastard. That would go in the followup book the unlucky bastard. It was bad, but its live tv. The way it goes. The subtitle of book is, my life, my dad, and things im not allowed to say on tv. He worked at cbs forever. Stephen what was that like grow up with your dad as a legendary sportscaster . Im a huge fan of nepotism. I think its great.

Stephen you work at cbs and i i havent had a chance to see this yet. They are being super protective of this show. Yeah, extra lockdown. Stephen it takes place before the original series, right . Yes, yes, 10 years before. 10 years before. And were were were discovering a lot, discovering each other through the discovery of ourselves, honestly. Stephen theres a crossover between the two series upon. Tell me if im getting something wrong or stop me if im saying something nobody is supposed to know. One of the crossover sphrz your series and the original is ceric, who is spocks father, raises you. Yes. Stephen but youre not vulcan. Right. Youre human. Yes. Stephen but your parents were killed by klingons. Yes. Stephen im a little obsessed about any details i can get out of it. So are you do you have a motion if you were raised by vulcans . I do, because i am human. Stephen okay. So i am a human in the culture of vulcan. Right. So theres assimilation happening there. Stephen okay. And theres Culture Shock that happened there.

There you go thats it thats it it came quite naturally, so it was meant to be. Stephen the vulcan philosophy yes. Stephen the basis of it. Correct me if im wrong. You have been raised by vulcans. Get it right. Stephen is infinite diversity in infinite combinations. Does america need a little star trek right now . Are you kidding me . Yes oh, my gosh things are at a fever pitch at this point, right, division and separatist thinking. I think its so important because people need to see what we can be and what we can become. And i think thats what this show does. It always has, so were just going boldly in the way it always has. Stephen the original show of all of the shows, but gene roddenberry, created the original show, dealt with current social societal issues of all kind by putting them in space. Yes, because honestly, the fantasy of it, provides a sort of it takes away the bar yerk right . So people can let go. They can suspend their disbelief and be imaginative, and in doing that, the message comes through subconsciously. Thats the beauty of scifi, right . Stephen wow, sounds like youre brainwashing us. And then. Stephen cbs is theyve thrown the kitchen sink at this. This is a huge production. What is the what is, like, the craziest locale or the biggest thing that you were involved in doing in shooting this . Yeah, oh, man. Okay, well, everybody is on their top game, number one. I do have to say that, behind the camera and in front of the camera. And when we were we shot in jordan. And the jordanian crew was so amazing, so warm and welcoming. And the prince of jordan came to visit set one kay, and he brought his son, and they were trek fans which was amazing and i was so thrown off because i go, how do you how do you greet royalty . This is my first time. Do i need do you need me to bow . Do i need to curtsy . Am i going to have to kiss his hand . Thats fieb, if thats customary. And what do need to do here . He was so downed to earth the hand shake was fine. It was kind of anticlimactic. Stephen youre an american, you say the i bow to no king. Thank you for being here. Im looking forward to it.
