And now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, its Stephen Colbert cheers and applause stephen hey hey, everybody cheers and applause stephen hey ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the late show. Im your host, Stephen Colbert. Look, ive got some. cheers and applause ive actually got some good news. The g. O. P. Plan to repeal obamacare is officially dead cheers and applause got nothing, no pulse. No. They pulled the plug. That is something ive said three times now. laughter the republicans brought a new one up when did they bring this up, a couple of days ago. They knew they could only afford to lose two votes. And rand paul and john mccain were already nos. Then last night, maine senator and woman with blazer made from skinned cookie monster, Susan Collins said she wasnt falling for it. One reason was the c. B. O. Score, which technically hasnt come out, but they did release an estimate yesterday showing that the number of people with comprehensive Health Insurance would be reduced by millions. Yeah, nothing specific, just millions. laughter at this point, the folks at the c. B. O. Must be so tired of analyzing healthcare bills, theyre just freeballing it. What, a new bill . Yeah, let me run the numbers. Yeah, yeah, everybody dies. laughter so thats it. Its over and the g. O. P. Is already eyeing the next chance to revive the obamacare repeal. What what already . Grahamcassidy isnt even dead yet thats like bringing a date to see your wife in the hospital laughter look, honey, youre gonna pull through. Absolutely. I believe in you. But just in case, this is staci. She spells it with an i, thats kinda fun. You guys would like each other. Staci, wait outside. Dont go too far. Of course, we may not need health care pretty soon, because one of our old enemies is coming for us iran. And trump sounded the alarm over the weekend, tweeting, iran just testfired a Ballistic Missile capable of reaching israel. They are also working with north korea. Not much of an agreement we have now, obviously, we should be concerned about irans missile test, except for the fact that it was a fake. laughter so trump fell for. Whats the word . Fake news stephen you and he agree. laughter heres what happened. Iranian state television released this footage of a missile test, which was reported on by western media, but the videos were actually seven months old. Oh, for petes sake you have the c. I. A. , you numbnut. laughter oh, but our commander in chief is popping off about Ballistic Missiles because he saw it on the tv. It wont be long before were seeing tweets like, just saw report on violent talking apes attacking humans and taking over the forest. Obama was soft on monkey threat. I will not be laughter cheers and applause and, and apes now causing massive car wreck on the golden gate bridge. Yuge disaster. Thank god for talking lizard offering car insurance. cheers and applause so good, little australian lizard. Speaking of iran, President Trump has a new travel ban thats right. This is what, his third attempt . So, if its anything like his marriages, this one may stick. Big melania fans here. This new ban has been carefully rewritten as the result of months of deliberation that included the state department, the department of homeland security, the white house, and other agencies. As opposed to the first ban, which was the result of steve bannon running through the white house in a towel with an empty bottle of night train yelling, the muslimsg com ainth laughter uhhuh. Heres applause cheers jon night train. Stephen thats night train. Heres the difference. Heres the difference. In addition to the countries named in the First Executive order, the revised travel ban was expanded to include people from chad, north korea, venezuela, and the golden state warriors. laughter i think. Im pretty sure. Weve got to keep our eye on golden state. I dont know where that is. But those changes are key, because Trump Administration officials said the addition of north korea and venezuela demonstrated it was not a muslim ban. Adding new countries doesnt make it less bad. You cant just claim, hey, its not a hate crime because i also threw a brick into the building next to the mosque. What, do i hate dry cleaners now . It doesnt make sense. Sir, you cant just pad this out with other countries and expect us not to notice its a muslim ban. Thats like when you throw a bunch of clif bars in your basket when youre buying dirty magazines. We know what you need that energy for. laughter applause okay . laughter and, you know, with all of this happening, people are still talking about football. In fact, at a press conference today, trump was asked if hes been preoccupied with the n. F. L. Well, i wasnt preoccupied with the n. F. L. To me, the n. F. L. Situation is a very important situation. Ive heard that before, about was i preoccupied . Not at all. Not at all. I have plenty of time on my hands. All i do is work. Stephen wait. laughter jon oh stephen wait, when is it . Do you have a lot of time on your hands, or are you always working . Because i cant decide which one scares me more. laughter well, last night, in response to the controversy, the Dallas Cowboys kneeled before the National Anthem, then stood up cheers and applause with arms linked during the song. Now, trump was clearly watching, because he tweeted the booing at the n. F. L. Football game last night, when the entire dallas team dropped to its knees, was loudest i have ever heard. Great anger. Really . Thats the loudest booing you ever heard . laughter listen to this. Donald trump is president. audience boos thank you okay, thank you. Thank you very much thank you i think i have my new ring tone. Jon whoa nelly. Stephen and trump pointed out just how much these protests are hurting the n. F. L. 3 ratings for n. F. L. Football are way down, except before game starts when people tune in to see whether or not our country will be disrespected yes, according to donald trump, fans are tuning out right when the game starts which is the way jets fans have been watching for years. laughter applause trump may be right. We dont know. But some businesses are already ready to capitalize on this new trend. Sunday means three things beer, hot wings and the very beginning of a Football Game and at d. T. 45s bar and grill you wont miss a second of the action because we have every n. F. L. Game on 24 screens which we turn off immediately after the National Anthem so you can eat in patriotic silence. And the d. T. 45s theres no sitting allowed. Not a single chair in the place. Dont like it . Then youre in isis. D. T. 45s bar and grill. Oh, say can you eat. Stephen weve got a great show for you tonight. Sofia vergara is here. But when we return, ill tell you about the republican civil war. Its happening stick around. Terrible toilet paper ill never get clean way ahead of you. Charmin ultra strong. It cleans better.

Stephen jon batiste and stay human, everybody. Thats right. I could hear you do that song over and over again, man. I could hear that song again. Folks, thanks so much. Welcome back to the late show already in progress. Folks, if you have been watching the news, you know puerto rico has been devastated by hurricane maria. Power is out on most of the island, and there are shortages of food, clean water, and medicine. The 3. 4 million american citizens need our help, and you can do your part. Please go to colbertlateshow. Com for information on where you can donate. Now, many people are frustrated by the slow federal response and President Trumps apparent total lack of interest. One cnn commentator pointed out that between friday and monday, trump sent out about 20 tweets about professional sports and zero about puerto rico. Oh, for petes sake. Not only is tweeting the least you can do. Its the only thing you actually do applause there have been reports that help has been low to arrive to puerto rico, and today, trump explaipped why. Its very tough, because its an island. This is an island sitting in the middle of an ocean. And its a big ocean. Its a very big ocean. Stephen and extremely wet. Im the only one talking about the wetness. I also, did you know its so salty that you cant drink it . I just found out. Make a fantasticet margarita. Unbelievable. Plus, plus, you know, bring the stuff there. We want to swim it there, but there are sharks. And i understand there are jets. Theyre fighting and dancing taiments. Anyway, the president is right its a very, very big ocean. And it keeps getting bigger. No one knows why. Science isnt in on that, for some reason. applause , of course, back on the mainland, today is election day in alabama. All eyes are on the g. O. P. Primary to replace attorney general and confederate house elf, jeff sessions. laughter he believes in states rights, harry potter applause the race the race pits current alabama senator and kid who got to name himself at age 10, luther strange, against former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court and auctioneer who i really hope is selling cattle, roy moosh. Theyre very interesting candidates. Luther strange is the tallest man ever in the u. S. Senate, at 69. Hes pictured here next to his conscience, jiminy cricket. laughter applause meanwhile same species. Same species meanwhile, you might remember roy moore from the time he was kicked off the Alabama Supreme Court. Or the other time he was kicked off the Alabama Supreme Court. See, he was elected in 2000, and heres what happened. You see, he was elected in 2000, and his first action was to install a twoton monument of the ten commandments. Now, that sounds excessive, but its actually biblically accurate, as shown by this painting of moses. laughter the monument was removed in 2003, and so was moore, a little later. But he was reelected in 2012, and then removed again in 2016 for ordering the states probate judges to refuse applications for marriage licenses by samesex couples. Its part of moores long history of homophobia. He once wrote in a custody decision, homosexual behavior is a ground for divorce, an act of Sexual Misconduct punishable as a crime in alabama, a crime against nature, an inherent evil, and an act so heinous that it defies ones ability to describe it. If youre doing it right. laughter applause if it all goes as plans, youre like, what the hell just happened . I like it. Now, moores opponent, luther strange, has been endorsed by the president. On friday, trump went all the way down to alabama to tell people hes got big luthers back, no matter what. Kind of. We have to be loyal in life. You know, theres something called loyalty with these folk. And i might have made a mistake. And ill be honest. I might have made a mistake. By the way, both good men. Both good men. And you know what and i told luther i have to say this if his opponent wins, im going to be here campaigning like hell for him. Stephen thats a weird time to be hedge your bet. With this ring, i thee. Hold up. Ill be honest. I might have made a mistake. Whats that bridesmaids name . Stacy with an i . Great, ill be right with you. But while strange has the president , moore has strong backers of his own, including breitbart chief and helmetless vader, steve bannon. Thats right, trump and bannnon are going up against each other. And last night, bannon spoke to a crowd in fair hope, alabama, and reminded them that nothing is fair, and there is no hope. Mitch mcconnell and this permanent Political Class is the most corrupt and incompetent group of individuals in this country. They took out 30second tv spots. And you know why . Because they think youre a pack of morons. They think youre nothing but rubes. Stephen yeah, those elites think youre a bunch of rubes now, who among you fine folks is wise enough to step up and buy this tonic that makes mexicans disappear . laughter come on, jose. Lets rub some of it on you. And bannon explained that theres no conflict with the president here. A vote for judge roy moore is a vote for donald j. Trump. We did not come here to defy donald trump. We came here to praise and honor him. Stephen so, even though trump flew all the way down there to say he wants you to vote for luther strange, steve bannon wants you to know that he knows what trump wants you to want. You know what . Talking about twisting yourself into a pretzel. I think the mooch was right about him. applause jon boy wow stephen then roy moore took the stage and proved that he might be the trumpiest candidate of them all. Its been very hard for my wife and myself to weather two, nearly three months of negative ads that we couldnt answer with money because we didnt have it, ads that were completely false, that i dont believe in the Second Amendment. I believe in the Second Amendment stephen whooooo kill me first, roy i love you laughter by the way, nice gun. Did it come with your costume . Well be right back with Sofia Vergara. Shalls.

You dont get tired of that view no matter what. Its not like you wake up one day, this stupid tower always in the way of everything no. Stephen they say if you have the eiffel tower more than four hours, you should call your doctor. Ive heard that, too, yeah. applause but, you know, hes fantastic. Hes we get along. We dont fight. And he does his thing, i comy thing. He works. I work its great. Stephen i heard you accuse him of being a nerd. In what way is hold on. He is. Stephen in what way is that a nerd .

Stephen so these are microloans to people like first were going to colombia, and were giving all these loans to women to empower them, to tell them you can make your own money, do whatever you want with it help your kids.

When i left you at the tunnels entrance i told you to watch our six. I figured i needed to clear the tunnel section. We were sent 500 miles to bring him in alive. I came in the room, assessed all three of us and him. Did you assess why you arent shooting did you check his hands . Stephen please welcome david boreanaz. cheers and applause applause stephen i like that. I havent seen somebody come on and threaten the audience with a fist ri ght . Thats how we travel as seals, they come in like this, guns up high. Its fake. They dont have anything in their hands. They come in like this. When were rehearse ago yeah, theyre like cats. When were rehearsing a scene, they usually come in like this, and we dont have our weapons on us, and were doing this, this, this, coming around. Thats the whole thing. So when w were not shooting, wn were at bars with the seals, we clear a room after a bottle of tequila. Its quite exciting. Stephen wow. I had to do a stunt in the pilot where i had to jump off the bow, and i told my stunt double i wanted to do the stunt hes an actual seal. And he said, no, youre going to break your neck if you do this. I said, okay, ill leaf it to you. He does the stunt, doesnt break his neck. I jump, in no floication on my gear, and i have all this gear on that weighs about 20 pounds and im starting to sink and getting sucked look a python. And im like, guys.

And the seal boat just goes right by me. laughter i proceed to say, help ooik, like, literally going to die in louisiana. Im going, help im choking on rusty water. The seal boat comes back, they throw me in, i bust my nose up, blood all over the place. Long story short. We proceed to shoot the show. The two actors, playing h. A. And neil. They said, david is really a good actor. Hes really struggling out there. laughter right . I was like i said, wait a second, i dont think a seal would be saying, help so that was stephen youd give a lot away. I would give a lot away on that. That was my ongoing hit every day on the set. Stephen you have actual former navy sealos the show . Yeah, its amazing. It is so humble to be a part of something that is so you know, what these guys do is very humbling. And we have consultants in the writers room, and the guys that stay with us naare actually on the show. And its when you hear their stories, you it just takes you a while to take a step back. And you go, you did what . How did you do that . Youre protecting our country. And people dont realize what they do when were asleep at 4 00 a. M. Or 3 00 a. M. Or whenever you go to bed. And its its humbling. It really is. And these guys i just applaud what they do. Stephen did you ever say to them like, you know, yeah, but on season 9 of bones, we shot, like a 12hour day . No. laughter . Stephen another so you have been a staple of tv since 1997. Yup. Stephen you just is it march you finished season 12 of bones. Why jump straight into the next thing. You have earned a little time to go rappel or sleep or whatever. Are you a glutton for punishment . I was home for a while, and then my wife told me to go back to work. laughter so i said, yes, dear, qtdz and i went back to work. I think it was a smart thing to do, because i looked at the garage at least 80 times a day, and i still havent cleaned that. Stephen i heard this thing that you are you are were a dead head. Still am. Stephen whats going on here at age nine right there . Wait, thats more hootie and the blow fish, i think. Stephen it is. I must say the fanny pack was very popular. Thats like circa stephen you do have a fanny pack on. I do. Stephen how big of a dead head are we talking here . Pretty big. I saw some east coast shows, and i went to one west coast show, but that was all jerry garcia bands. My service big and popular. She used to travel and sell all the tiedyes. Stephen did you drop acid and trip . Do i have to be honest on cbs. Stephen you do. Youre under oath. Youre under oath when youre on this show. Did you ever freak out and think you were a bee and try to force yourself through a keyhole . I will say that i met the keebler elves, and i got the fudge stripe ingredients. Gli dont even know what that means. laughter and i dont care, because i kind of like your honesty. Thank you. Stephen thank you very much. Well thats funny. Stephen seal team starts tomorrow . Tomorrow night. Stephen right here on the columbia broadcasting system, cbs. Thank you. Stephen welcome to the shop. Welcome to the eye. Welwelcome to the tiffany. David boreanaz, everybody. Well be right back with david boreanaz, everybody. Well be right back with documentary giant, ken burns. applause . My 3month old business. Plus. What if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i made a point to talk to my doctor. He told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both. And that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.

My next guest tonight is an emmy and Peabody Award Winning director whose latest documentary is can th the vietm war. Please welcome ken burns. Good to see you. Come on up. applause stephen there you go, ken. Good to see you again. Nice to see you. Stephen now, i have seen the first two episodes of this so far. Im about three hours in. And it is one of the most powerful documents ive ever seen. Of course, i grew up in the shadow of the vietnam war, because i remember the end of it. But the complexity of that war, before the United States was even involved, before 1959, what we were stepping into as a country, i was completely unaware, however complicated i thought it was, i was not prepared at all for what a tangle it was. Were you what surprised buwhat you learned about this story . Everything. Every day, every day working on this for 10 years surprised us. I thought i knew something about it. I lived through it. I lived on a College Campus against the war. I had a high draft number. It was an amazing period and i went in thinking, ah, finally, a subject i know something about. And lynn novick and i started working on this and we realized how little we knew. The First Episode is called deja vu because of the hundreds of things that happened to the french that we could have taken as Warning Signals bridge out three miles, bridge out three miles, wait, and a cartoon in the middle and, wait, how did we get here . And that was vietnam at the beginning you. Stephen said a moment ago you had a high draft number. Yes. Stephen for young people out here who dont know who may not even be registered for Selective Service even though it still continues to this day, can you explain what that meant to have a high draft number . Ally on in the vietnam war there were deferments you could get for being a student, for being married. People didnt think that was fair. It fell unfairly on to expwhraks minorities and poor people and it was adjusted and we had a lottery system based on your birthday. They picked your birthday day out, and it was number one. And the hiring number you had, the leschance you had of being drafted and put into the service. Stephen the young men knew when their number was coming up because it would proceed through the calendar. And you had a sense of how many they were going to pick that year. What happened, is the antiwar movement, which had been a moral movement, opposed to the war for ethical reasons, became a selfmotivated movement i dont want to be drafted and i dont want my friends drafted. Stephen there were brothers on the street who i grew up on, and they were College Roommate roommates and r numbers were coming up and one was ready to go to war and one was ready to go to canada. They loved each other, but there was a difference of opinion. This divide us. This is a period where there were mass demonstrations against the current administration. There was a white house in disarray, obsessed with leaks. There was a president accusing the media of lying, of making up stories about him. There was huge document drops of stolen classified materials. There was accusations that a Political Campaign reached out during the time of war to a foreign power to influence that election. laughter and this was all true when we began work 10 years ago, and we finished before the iowa caucuses. Mark twain said, history doesnt repeat itself but it rhymes. We finished our work, we lifted up and we went, whoa. This really rhymes. Stephen how do you tell the story of the experience, the development, the prosecution of a war when, by its nature as another documentary said, the fog of war its hard to know. Its almost unknowable because its so complex and so many of the figures end up dying in that war. Thats exactly right. We tell the story of this war from all the different perspectives. When americans talk about vietnam, they normally just talk about themselves. But we interviewed lynn novick, my codirector interviewed north vietnamese soldiers and civilians, viet cong guerillas, in addition to more than 50 americans we have from every walk of life, from people who were opposed to the war, to unbelievably brave marines, and army guys charging up hills, to gold star bhorgz didnt have to tell their incredible stories. So that we could understand that in war, more than one truth could happen at the same time, that we could create a spairks unlike today we are so divided, everything is so toxic, that we wanted to remind people that even at a terrible time, we could actually describe this story by telling it from lots of different points of view and representing that. And we went out and found underwriters from across the political spectrum who joined a nonprofit called the Better Angel Society this is pbs, thriving pbs. And across the political spectrum, from left to right. We got an enlightened corporate underwriter, bank of america who said, look, bring it on. All the controversy, bring it on. Were better connected if were talking about these things. They helped sponsor some music that we did with jon and leon and gary clark jr. , where they did a cover of ohio by crosby, stills and nash. We have beatles. We have rolling stones, and we have trent reznor and nine inch nails. Stephen its an incredible soundtrack available right now. Ken, thank you so much for helpin tell this story that americans took too long to tell each other and that i think our politics and our sense of self is going to be living with for the rest of our lives. Its really true. And right now we have that sort of end of a comment. We say, thank you for your service. And really is just the end of it. But if you could think about it, if we could turn to our veterans, from vietnam, particularly, welcome home. What can we do for you . And have a kind of civil discourse, we can, perhaps, help put some of the ghostes of vietnam away, and we could also help cure the toxicity of this moment. applause cheers . Stephen the vietnam war is airing now on at Stanford Health care, we can now repair complex aortic aneurysms without invasive surgery. If we can do that, imagine what we can do for varicose veins. And if we can precisely treat eye cancer with minimal damage to the rest of the eye, imagine what we can do for glaucoma, even cataracts. If we can use dna to diagnose the rarest of diseases, imagine what we can do for the conditions that affect us all. Imagine what we can do for you. Late show.
