Has anyone seen melania . Its a late show with live with Stephen Colbert tonight, spice up your life. Plus, stephen welcomes live senator Bernie Sanders and a sperm performance by Nathaniel Rateliff, and jon batiste. Featuring live, jon batiste and stay homein. And now live from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, its Stephen Colbert stephen welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to a late show. I am your host, Stephen Colbert. The emotions are running high. I gotta say. Its night three of the Democratic National convention, and once again, we are live all this week, were bringing you every zoomtastic moment, in a fournight megaevent were calling democrats assemble. Are you fired up . And so we fight. It is what it is. Stephen every night of the d. N. C. Has a theme. Monday was we the people, tuesday was leadership matters, and tonight was a more perfect union. Or as trump calls it fourth times the charm . Of course, this week marks 100 years since women gained the right to vote, and tonight there was a powerhouse lineup of speakers including nancy pelosi, Elizabeth Warren hillary clinton, and kamala harris. Its going to be tough for the republicans to match that. All theyve got are ivanka, betsy devos, and a disturbing sculpture eric trump calls lady dad. She loves it. The evening kicked off with wisconsin governor tony evers, who had a very bidenesque call to action holy mackerel, folks. Lets get to work. Stephen what a pleasant battle cry. Gee, golly, gosh. Slap me with a salmon and stick trouser in my trowts. Time to get this fish on the road opening remarks were delivered by Vice President ial nominee kamala harris, who was so rarin to go, she spoke from the truck they ship new Vice President s in. Each of us needs a plan, a voting plan. Stephen yes. For example, i plan on voting, then cracking open a fifth of mount gay and blacking out until the votes are all counted. Of course, this was just a preview for her speech at the end of the night. Ill see you a little later tonight, and until then. Ill be unloading these crates. Joes in one of them. Marco marco the night was hosted by actress Kerry Washington dressed in a striking pinstripe suit that you usually only wear if youre planning on killing the batman. Tonight were going to talk about where we are and where were going. Stephen uh, kerry, were in a pandemic. The answer to both of those is the couch. Then we heard from Michelle Lujan grisham who is the governor of nuevo, mexico. Stephen as trump wait, theres another mexico . Can we get them to pay for the wall . I only got a week. The evening then turned to the overwhelming evidence of Global Warming maybe youve read some of the millions of pages of Scientific Evidence on climate change. Stephen i mean, its definitely on my list. But ill still making my way through the new hunger games. But its definitely on the list. We even got this soundbite from joe biden himself. When i think about climate change, the word i think of is jobs. Stephen really, because the word i think of is aaarrgghh then, we saw a very cool video about america as a country of immigrants. Life in america was not always easy. There was discrimination and hardship and poverty. Stephen and thats just the past four years. Hillary clinton was up next. She took the opportunity to reflect on everything that has happened since she up with the popular vote. For four years, people have told me, i didnt realize how dangerous he was. I wish i could do it all over. Or worst, i should have voted. Look, this cant be another woulda, coulda, shoulda election. Stephen and for four years ive done everything in my power to not punch those people in the face. Hill rye let america know she feels your pain. There is a lot of heartache in america. And the truth is many things were broken before the pandemic. Stephen for instance, the broken horse femur i sent in the jail to james comby still waiting to hear, did you get my message, jim sm upon she hoped trump would do well. The morning after the last election, i said we owe donald trump an open mind and the chance to lead. Stephen okay, thats nice. But remember she also said, we have to poke mango to the polls. So maybe dont trust everything she said. Then clinton put our collective yearning into words. I wish donald trump knew how to be a president , because America Needs a president right now. Stephen can any of you think of one . I can. Heres a hint shes got two thumbs and bites them to keep from constantly screaming. Then we heard from speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, who gave a powerful speech. But the thing everyone is really talking about tonight is this moment from pelosis introductory video. If you want to go into the arena, you have to be prepared to take a punch. You also have to be prepared to throw aw a punch for the childr. The punch for the children stephen thats right, i was on the reel. I got more air time than a. O. C. Im part of American History because i spoke to nancy pelosi, and because i used to be allowed to sit within three feet of senior citizens. Well, wow. Ladies and gentlemen, i did not see this coming. I did not expect it. I get it, but i did not see this coming. Its such an honor yes, i accept your nomination. Thnk you. Thank you. And im being told i am misreading the moment. My apologies. Where were we . Then, Kerry Washington was back to set the scene. In order to get to that more perfect union, we have to acknowledge where we are. Stephen again, the couch. I dont know how many times i need to tell you that. Friend of the show Elizabeth Warren spoke about child care. Im here at the Early ChildhoodEducation Center in springfield, massachusetts, which has been closed for months. Stephen breaking in wasnt easy, but i had a plan, and a crow bar. Warren left a secret message in her set. The blocks behind hir said, b. L. M. Thats really nice. Somewhere a very confused worker at the bureau of Land Management is feeling pretty good right now. Suddenly, he appeared, former president barack obama. Good evening, everybody. Stephen oh, my gosh hes really there its everything i missed obama the constitution a president hair cut hes looks so fresh the constitutional scholar obama came straight out. Embedded in this document was a north star. Stephen and a treasure map, written on the back in secret code. It was up to nicolas cage to find it. Obama said he really thought back in 2016 things might go better. I did hope, for the sake of our country, that donald trump might show some interest in taking the job seriously. Stephen look, sir, i know youre the guy who coined the hope slogan, but even your poster doesnt buy that. Obama reiterated the fundamental basics of the job. We should expect that regardless of ego, ambition, or political beliefs, the president will preserve, protect, and defend the freedoms and ideals that so Many Americans marched for, went to jail for. Stephen and to all those who were jailed fighting for the things i hold dear, ghislaine maxwell, i wish you well. Now, remember no drama obama . Now hes trash talk barack. For close to four years now he has shown no interest in putting in the work. No interest in finding common ground. Donald trump hasnt grown into the jobeuse he cant. Stephen its true. S toddler. Hes the only president who still needs a sipe cup. He obamaedon. No interest in treating the presidency as anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the attention he craves. Stephen well, im not here to make friends. And i have to tell you, barack, that sort of attitude is why im not picking you to go on a date with me in the white house fantasy sweep. Youre here for the wrong reasons. Obama then turned to his Vice President. Let me tell you about my fr stephen i told you we were best friends. Barack and i are closer than two scoops in a cone except im melting a lot faster. Come on, jack hit me with some sprinkles. Just some insulation. Obama peeled back the curtain on trumps moral bankruptcy. Heres the point this president and those in power, those who benefit from keeping things the way they are, they are counting on your cynicism. Stephen jokes on you, barack. I cant count, one, person, man, woman, five. Obama had a strong warning for voters. Do not let them take away your power. Do not let them take away your democracy. Stephen do not let them take away your mailboxes. Maybe put some olive oil them, or some ky jelly, something slippery, so theyre too hard to pick up. Then obama reminded us who has the power to fix our country. You can give our Democracy New meaning. You can take it to a better place. Stephen so new zealand . Then we sponged off our tears. And it was time for the main event, the acceptance speech for the Vice President ial nomination by california senator kamala harris, seen here really enjoying an offcamera puppet show. Harris gave a rivetted speech in front of a long line of, im going to guess flags trump had groped. The v. P. Nom started her speech with lessons she learned from her mother. I do so committed to the values she taught me, to the word that teaches me to walk by faith and not by sight. Stephen as long as you can walk down a ramp, i dont care how you do it. She also shared her vision for the future of this country. A vision of our nation as a beloved community, where all are welcome, no matter what we look like, no matter where we come from, or who we love. Stephen thats right. In america, when youre here, youre family. And thats why im also vote, for unlimited bred sticks, 2020. She also developed the effect trumps presidency has had on the american psyche. The constant chaos leaves us adrift. The incompetence makes us feel afraid. The callousness makes us feel alone. Stephen okay, who gave her our Campaign Strategy . Kamala ended her speech by calling on all of us to think of future generations. Years from now, this moment will have passed, and our children and our grandchildren will look in our eyes, and theyre going to ask us, where were you when the stakes were so high . Stephen again, the couch. But, honestly, after tonight, on the edge of it. We have a great show for you folks tonight. Senator Bernie Sanders is here. But when we come back, i show you living proof of why we really do need a new president. Stick around. We love our new home. Theres so much space. We have a guestroom now. But, we have aunts.

While the democrats have been laying out a case that trump is grossly unfit for office, trump has been focused on his top priority proving he is grossly unfit for office. For instance, at his press conference today, donald trump colleges including North Carolina and notre dame have suspended inperson classes. Multiple colleges and universities announced that they would suspend inperson teaching. Now, we have learned one thing. Thee is nothing like campus. Theres nothing like being with the teacher as opposed to being on a computer board. Stephen yes, its very tough to learn on a computer board like apples new iwood. One intrepid reporter asked the president about the insane rightwing Conspiracy Group called qanon, which the f. B. I. Has called a potential domestic terror threat. Heres what your president said i dont know much about the movement. Other than i understand they like me very much, which i appreciate. Stephen as trump and that is my only moral compass. If youre a fan of me, im a fan of you. Once again, looking at you, ghislane maxwell. You keep up the good work lady. Whatever it was. I dont know. Im not familiar. Then, the reporter explained exactly what these folks believe. At the crux of the theory, is the belief you are secretly saving the world from this satanic cult of pedophiles and cannibals. Does that sound like something you are behind . Well, i havent i havent heard that. But is that supposed to be a bad thing or a good thing . I mean, you know, if i can help save the world from problems, im willing to do it. Im willing poput myself out there. And we are, actually. Stephen i havent heard anything about that, but coincidentally, we are doing it. I mean, sure, 170,000 people have died from covid, but ask yourself how many people have been eaten . Practically none. And as americans, they have the preexisting condition of being very well mark marbled. Just fall right off the bone. Then he was asked about obamas speech criticizing him at the d. N. C. , and he did not hold back. The reason im here is because of president obama and joe biden, because if they did a good job, i wouldnt be here. And probably if they did a good job, i wouldnt have even run. But they did such a bad job, they stand before you as president. Stephen totally their fault. All obamas doing. He must have been a pretty bad president for people to give a corrupt idiot like me this job. Bottom line, what im trying to say, is im a punishment from god. Thank you, obama. The president also got mad at godyear, the tire people, after a photo of one of their employee training sessions surfaced in which goodyear deemed maga hats unacceptable in the workplace. Yes, studies show maga hats put employees at high resk of having their yogurt spit in. Trump saw the image, and he tweeted, dont buy goodyear tires. They announced a ban on maga hats. Get better tires for far less. This is what the radical democrats, the left democrats do. Two can play at the same game and we have to Start Playing it now. So now, trump is calling for a ban on goodyear, to which i say, americas way ahead of you. We havent had one good year since you took office. But theres just one problem with his boycott, and its 63,000 problems. Because goodyear is headquartered in ohio, which is the 2020 swing state, and they employee roughly 63,000 people. Stable move, genius yeah, you go ahead. Boycott one of the biggest employers in a swing state, and dont forget to boycott iowa corn, wisconsin cheese, and florida messcaters. A critical industry. Their teeth are like that. Turns out, the president s boycott hits close to home. The president s custom limousine, known as the beast, is outfitted with custom goodyear tires. Well, i think you all know what this means. Hes going to have to toss the tires and replace them with goa beans. Well be right back with senator Bernie Sanders.

Lets say hello to our friend, mr. Jon batiste. Hello, jon. Jon hello, hello. Were in it right now, historic times. Stephen unbelievable. Did you see the speeches tonight . Jon yeah, yeah, i saw some clips, and i recorded it. And i really love a lot of stuff that happened. Kamala, historic. Stephen beautiful. Our president saying the right kind of things a president should say on the podium. Stephen thats right. laughter inspiring. Jon he took down he said a lot of stuff that he doesnt always he dont always go there. Stephen no, i think this might be one of the most important, impactful speeches hell ever give. I hope people listen and take action. And you know what else inspired me . Ive seen the performance youre doing tonight with Nathaniel Rateliff. I cant wait for it. Jon my boy. I love nathaniel. We had a good time when we could be together and play music. Stephen oh, yeah, this is a throe back to a happier time. Stick around for that, everybody. Jon, ive got to go talk to my first guest. Good to see you, ill see you later. Jon yes, indeed. Stephen thank you, my friend. My first guest tonight is the independent senator from vermont, and former president ial candidate, who has dedicated his political career to advancing the progressive cause. Please welcome to a late show, senator Bernie Sanders. Senator good to see you again. Good to be with you, stephen. Stephen this is an exciting night. How are you liking the convention this week . I am liking this convention. I am thinking that were going to beat donald trump. Were going to beat him bad. And between you and me, this is exactly what we have got to do. This country cannot accept, cannot have four more years of donald trump. And i think weve got a good ticket to defeat him. Stephen now, its been four months, approximately, since you ended your campaign. Last night, i talked to senator warren and asked her what she missed about the campaign trail. Is there anything you dont miss about the campaign trail . Well, you know, doing three or four rallies a day gets a little bit a little bit hard. But what i do miss is seeing so many extraordinary people. You know, we had dozens and dozens of town meetings where just working people came forward and they talked about the pain in their lives. And i have always considered it an enormous source of pride that people would be willing to come up in front of tv cameras, in front of strangers, and talk about what living on poverty wages means, or not having any health care, not being able to afford prescription drugs. But i miss that connection with ordinary people who are willing, with great courage, to talk about the pain in their lives. Stephen i think thats one of the things that people responded to you about, and joe biden, is a willingness to honestly receive the pain in peoples lives, and to honestly talk about what is necessary to make this a better country, to try to alleviate of suffering thats going on in peoples lives, the worry and the anxiety. You spoke to joe bidens congressionals last night, and there are a lot of things i want to ask you. But the question thats on everyones mind right now is how long did it take you to chop all that wood behind you . Well, that was quite a task, let me tell you. Bottom line here is in vermont, we are smart. We know that winter is coming, and here it gets, you know, 10, 20 below zero. We start early. Were prepared. Stephen in april you said you wanted joe biden to get bold on progressive ideas, last time woe spoke. Now, correct me if im wrong. He did not commit to a green new deal. He wants to add a public option on health care. But wont outright adopt a medicare for all. How bold did he get, in your eyes . Well, stephen, what we did and i really appreciate the Vice President for doing this we sat down and we chatted. And we said, all right, look, we have disagreements. We did have disagreements. We have disagreements today. The best path forward would be through us to have at least six task forces dealing with the economy and health care and education and climate change, immigration, criminal justice reform. We would bring forth our best people. He would bring forth his best people. And theyd try to work out some compromises, some proposals, which would make sense to both parties. And thats what we did. So im not here to tell you that joe bidens views are my views. Theyre not. On health care, we disagree. We disagree on a number of other issues. But i will say is if the resolutions adopted in the task forces are, in fact, implemented, it would make biden the most progressive president since frank ling delano roosevelt. He did not go as far as i would like. Medicare for all is one example. I happen to believe that this Current System is cruel. Its disfunctional. Its incredibly wasteful and we have to do what every other country onarth does get private health care out of the system and guarantee health care as a human right. Joe has a different approach. But he also wants to work towards universal health care. He also has some very serious proposals to deal with the outrageous greed of the pharmaceutical industry, which is, in some cases, stephen, is charging us 10 times more for the same exact drugs insulin, among others than theyre charging canadians and other people. So hes going to move aggressively on prescription drugs. He believes in universal health care. He wants to have clean terrorist in 15 years. Going to invest very, very heavily in wind, solar, and other sustainable energies. He has a pretty strong criminal justice reform. Wants to end private prisons and detention centers, end cash bail. And i think, most importantly, s coming fromy, he a pretty good place. He wants to raise the minimum wage to 15 bucks an hour. That will be a pay raise for for 40 million americans. He wants to make it easier for workers to join unions. Equal pay for equal work. He wants to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure and create millions of goodpaying jobs there, as well as in climate change. So, you know, its a different agenda than mine. No question about it. But it is a strong, Progressive Agenda. And if we elect democrats, if democrats control the senate and the house, were going to implement that agenda, maybe even more. Stephen you say the most Progressive Agenda since f. D. R. I mean, there have been many democratic and progressive president s since then. Is it because f. D. R. Was able to take action in a time of crisis . Do you see parallels between the sort of the dissolution of an old order that were going through right now that allows that chaos to lead to a new creation . Stephen, i think thats exactly right. Stephen thank you. I have talked to joe a number of times since i left the campaign. He understands that we are in the midst of an unprecedente crisis. And i think, stephen, between you and me, we dont pay enough attention to the realities of america today. And we talk a lot about the pandemic and 170,000 people dying. Thats enormously important. We may be not focusing enough on the fact that as we speak, there are millions of people who literally do not have food in the cubbard to feed their kids. Theyve lost their jobs. Thethey have no income coming i. These are people who are worried about getting evicted from their homes. We are talking millions of people who are facing evictions from their apartments, their homes. Stephen do you think there is going to be action on that in the senate . I know the democrats have passed their bill in the house. Do you think the senate is going to take any action i am so disgusted. I mean, this goes really beyond politics, you know. Everybody knew, you know, that the provisions that we put in the cares bill, the last bill, were going to expire. No great secret. People were going to run out of getting that 600 supplement on their unemployment. Their 1200 check that people received. That money ran out. People have no health care. Cities and towns are facing very terrible economic challenges. Everybody knew it was happening. Mitch mcconnell did absolutely nothing. And right now, what trump das you recall, last week came up with these phony proposals that i dont even know if his his executive orders, i dont even know if they arimplementable. Instead of 600 a week for unemployed workers, at best, he wants 300. Some states may not go forward even doing that. I dont even know if he can implement that. Theres no 1200 check. I think it should be more. No money for health care. No money for states. No money for cities. In other words, the republicans literally and i dont mean to be overly partisan but they have literally turned their backs on the pain and the suffering that tens of millions of people are experiencing right now. And i ask Mitch Mcconnell again, call back the senate. Let us act. Stephen besides the sort of moral bankruptcy of turning your back on the american people, does it strike you as just politically dumb that the only reason why the economy was chugging along at all was that the average people had some money to spend. Thabd pay their rent. Right. Thats right. Stephen, heres the problem that Mitch Mcconnell has. There are 53 republicans in the senate, and probably half of them dont want to vote for anything. They will not vote another nickel for the american people. I mean, they have their ideology. Theyre prepared to give tax breaks to billionaires. Theyre prepared to spend 740 billion on the military. But they do not want half of them, not all of them half of them do not want to spend another nickel. So mcconnells problem is, is he brings a bill to the floor of the senate, the00 check for every american during this crisis, for health care, for cities and towns. And he will be in the minority. And that is the very difficult political position for the majority leader to be in. Stephen well, i hope he has to get used to that minority position very soon. We have to take a quick break, but dont go away, anybody. Well be right back with more senator better thane sanders. Thank you, sir.

Stephen welcome back, everybody. Were here talking with vermont senator Bernie Sanders. Senator sanders, one of the things ive enjoyed or not enjoyed, but i have been heartened to hear people banging on about this week at the d. N. C. Is raising the alarm to what extent the Trump Administration will go in order to stay in power, not only for their own present good, but probably to keep themselves out of the trouble theyll be in if there are real investigations. Preserving a free and Fair Election is paramount. It is bone chilling to think of what they might do. Postmaster general has said hes not going to take any further actions to curtail mail delivery. Is that enough . No, no. I mean, this guy has got to go. As you know, he has enormous conflicts of interest. He is a Major Campaign contributor to trump. He has no experience in postal matters that i know of. Look, here is the bottom line we have a president , unbelievably, who has said you remember a month ago, well, hes behind in the polls, well maybe we want to delay the election. This is an american president. Or, well, you know, if i lose, maybe i wont leave office. And just the other day, he tweeted and its a theme hes been saying over and over again, hes saying, if we lose the election, it will only be because it will only be because the election was rigged. Now think about what that means. If on election day he loses because people vote against his pathological lying and his antiscience and his racism and everything else, hes going to say, the election was rigged. If the election were rigged, why would i leave office . Think about that for a moment. And i think the point president obama made today tonight is that, you know, this is an election about whether or not we actually retain our democracy. And this attack on the Postal Service. And trump, to his credit admitted it. He wants to defund and destroy the Postal Service because he doesnt want people to receive mailin ballots. So your choice is, stephen, you can go out and vote to a polling station and literally put your life on the line if youre old and if youre frail, and if you have preexisting conditions. You can vote. Maybe youll die in the process. Or you dont vote. Well, i dont think those are the choices that americans should have. So we are going to do everything that we can to make sure that the Postal Service is up and running, can deliver those mailin ballots, and get them out back to the those who count the ballots in an appropriate way. This is a major, major issue. Stephen now, youve thrown some haymakers at big farma over the years, and a few tonight, actually. Were in a global pandemic. A lot of people are looking to the Big Pharmaceutical Companies to actually give us the cure, the vaccine, or the treatment. Are you worried about what price theyll extract from us, based upon the money weve put in to support the research . Of course i am. Of course i am. You know, dont get me going. We dont have enough time for me to stephen im trying to get you going thats my job. laughter . Its late at night. People want to go to sleep. They dont want to hear me rant and rave about the drug companies. But these are largely crooks, in my view. Theyre engaged in price fixing. Theyre engaged in collusion. Right now theyre receiving billions of dollars from the federafederal government. Of course we want them to come up with a vaccine, the best vaccine possible in the shortest amount of time. But trust me. They will we will have to watch them very closely. Because these guys will make billions of dollars in the process. And, by the way, when that vaccine comes that we all hope comes sooner than later, we have to make sure that every american can receive that vaccine free, because you are already paying for it through your tax dollars. Stephen fair enough. Fair enough. I have to let you go. But one last question before we go. I asked Elizabeth Warren last night. She wouldnt answer it. Wall street, big tax, big hollywood, they all seem to be okay with joe biden. Are you okay with them being okay with him, by the transitive property, are you now okay with wall street . Not quite. Look, what we have stephen im afraid thats all we have time for, senator. Oh all right stephen senator Bernie Sanders, everybody. Well be right back with a special performance by Nathaniel Rateliff and jon batiste. Thank you, sir.
