I win taffyland comes with a 231yearold rule book that is the foundation of the game, which you can interpret any way you want. Its my turn. Where are the dice . You cant feed the dice to the dog. Who says . Ill see you in court taffyland stop the game edition, because playing by the rules is a lesson you never have to learn announcer its a late show with Stephen Colbert. Tonight, keep calm and count on. Plus stephen welcomes Larry Wilmore and musical guest Laura Benanti, featuring jon batiste and stay homin. And now live on tape from the ed sullivan Theater Office building in new york city, its Stephen Colbert stephen hey, everybody welcome to a late show. Im your host, Stephen Colbert. Im here with my friends mark and chris. Scotts over there. Evies right over there. Were taping this just a little while after donald trump walked into the White House Briefing room and tried to poison american democracy. Thats why im not sitting down yet. I just dont feel like it yet. Thats also why im dressed for a funeral. Because donald trump tried really hard to kill something tonight. Around 7 00, the president came out into the White House Briefing room and lied for 15 minutes. Just nonsense about illegal vote dumps and corrupt Election Officials and secret democratic cabals and, i dont know longform birth certificates, probably. Its all the same. If you didnt know that it that joe biden was getting close to 270, donald trump just provided all the proof you will ever need. True story im wearing black, because i was getting dressed this afternoon and i thought, he might try some shenanigans and it might be fitting to tell jokes while wearing something somber if he goes down that dark path. And im no prophet. Its just, hes so predictable. For weeks, weve been talking about how thered be a red mirage, then how the outstanding biden mailin ballots would maybe let joe catch up. And that trump would then come out probably thursday around the evening news and pretend that he won and accuse everyone of cheating. The guy doesnt have another gear. Get a new act i mean, he said this stuff back in 2016 i will totally accept the results of this great and historic president ial election. If i win. Stephen so, we all knew he would do this. What i did not know is how much it would hurt. I didnt expect this to break my heart. For him to cast a dark shadow on our most sacred right. From the Briefing Room in the white house our house, not his that is devastating. This is heartbreaking for the same reason that i didnt want him to get covid, certainly why i wanted him to survive, because he is the president of the united states. That office means something and that office should have some shred of decency. Now, we knew he would leave a stain there and not just from his butt bronzer because everything he did is now president ial behavior. Including this. Unless unless every Single Person rejects what he just did. And hat means, for all the predictable behavior of the las few days and the last four years, right now something unpredictable needs to happen republicans have to speak up all of them. Because for evil to succeed, all thatis necessary is for good men to do nothing. So Say Something right now, republicans. Not later, not after youve stuck your finger up in the wind or wherever you want to put it. Right now, its in your best interest. You only survived this up until now because a lot of voters didnt want to believe everything that was obvious to so many of us that donald trump is a fascist. And when it comes to democracy versus fascism, there are not fine people on both sides. So you need to choose donald trump or the American People . This is the time to get off the trump train. Because he just told you where the train is going, and its not a passenger train, but hell load you on it, too, someday. In absence of good men, how about Mitch Mcconell . Has he said anything . What does he say . He declined to comment. Stephen he declined to comment. Okay, Mitch Mcconnell has declined to comment. The maxim of the law is qui tacet consentire. Who is silent, gives consent. So, mitch was loud and clear. Hes okay with this. Its not even a hard call. This is in your self interest to support votes being counted. Thats how you got your jobs. I guess Mitch Mcconnell is saying he was reelected through fraudulent votes as well . And hes holding onto the senate because of fraudulent elections in other states, and republicans picked up seats in the house because of fraudulent elections . So, cast them all out . Is that what your silence is saying, Mitch Mcconnell . So americas going to count Something Else right now. Who is willing to speak up. Who is going to speak up against donald trump trying to kill democracy, and who will stay silent in the face of this desperate attack on the Bedrock Institution of this great nation. Because he just attacked the thing that most makes us great. Its time to mean what all your hats have been yelling. By the way, if donald trump is right and joe biden pulled the strings behind the scenes in republican states like arizona and georgia, while coordinating with democratic states like pennsylvania and nevada, and wisconsin and michigan, and throwing in the red herring of letting the republicans keep the senate and gain seats in the house, while just barely removing donald trump . Wow i mean, kudos to that level of interstate coordination i mean, anyone who could accomplish that many things at once would really be the president we need during a global pandemic. This is when i really wish i could swear. But ill just say this were not going to show you a second of what that sad, frightened fraud said. Because it is poison, and i like you. He can suck silence. And he can suck my frosted yumnut. That reference is going to make sense later. Stay with me. And instead, i want to show you someone doing the right thing. This happened yesterday in nevada. As i mentioned, we are not prepared the biden crime familys stealing the election the medias covering up joe biden crime familys stealing this election the medias covering up joe bidens covering up this election. Joe biden is covering up this election hes stealing it where were we . What was the last question . laughter that guy out in front of the mics i joe gloria, the registrar of clark county, nevada. He let that guy spew his crazy till he was tired, watched him walk away, and then joe gloria took a deep breath, and did his job. Which is what we should all do. Stay cool. Okay, now lets do the monologue. Biden crime family, biden crime family. Biden crime family. Biden crime family. Biden crime family. Biden crime family. Biden crime family. Biden crime family. Biden crime family. Biden crime family. Thats all i got. laughter stephen okay, where were we . Even before il douchie lumbered to the podium, america was experiencing some highlyrefined, weaponsgrade anxiety because, while things were looking good for biden, as of 8 30 p. M. , the race remains on a razors edge. So, not only is it stressful, its irresponsible. America should be nowhere near sharp objects. They should take away our shoelaces and our belt. A reminder to win the presidency, a candidate needs 270 electoral votes. As i record tonights zoetrope, biden has 253. Biden is so close to victory, he can smell its hair. One key state is arizona. Biden is ahead. In fact, several news organizations have already called the state for him. The trump folks still insist they have a chance, but even republicanfriendly estimates say trump has a steep uphill battle to close the gap. And the only thing more challenging than a steep uphill battle for trump would be a steep downhill waddle. Then theres nevada, where bidens ahead, but not by much. He currently leads by about 12,000 votes, with the majority of the votes left from the las vegas area. But its no surprise that trump didnt take vegas. Whenever trump is near a casino, he loses everything. Another state were waiting on is georgia, which awards 16 electoral votes. Now its a tossup. Per the Georgia State constitution, their election cannot be ultimately decided until all mailin votes are tabulated and one candidate has defeated the devil in a fiddle contest. But the key race is the keystone state, pennsylvania. Bidens home state. Right now, trump leads, but as they count the mailin ballots, biden is rapidly closing the gap. If biden wins, hell receive an electiondeciding 20 electoral votes. Per the pennsylvania constitution, thats one for every car theyll flip over in philly, no matter who wins. But no surprise, trump is already claiming he won pennsylvania, among other states, tweeting, we have claimed, for electoral vote purposes, the commonwealth of pennsylvania which wont allow legal observers the state of georgia, and the state of north carolina, each one of which has a big trump lead. Additionally, we hereby claim the state of michigan if, in fact, there was a large number of secretly dumped ballots as has been widely reported you cant make something official just by using fancysounding words like hereby. For electoral vote purposes, i forthwith, heretofore, hitherto, and twobyfour, call the last chocolate donut. My lawyers are coming in to lick it. Speaking of lawyers who can lick it, yesterday, trump sent a specialops team to philadelphia second first son and man getting dumped over zoom, eric trump, and attorney to the president and man asking a rat if its going to finish that cockroach, rudy giuliani. And eric revealed the trump campaigns master plan we are going to file suit in pennsylvania. Its a shame have to do that. Its the last thing that we wanted to do, its the las thing my father wanted to to. Stephen technically, the last thing your father wanted do is go to your birthday party. But if this was the last thing he wanted to do, why was it the first thing he said . Were going to go in the night of, as soon as that elections over, were going in with our lawyers. Stephen and since your lawyer is rudy, i assume by going in, you mean prison. Then, rudy got testy. The ultimate result is, President Trump has won pennsylvania. Ive never heard of a count where youre headed by 400,000 with 80 plus counted and they havent called it for you yet. Do you think were stupid . Do you think we are fools . P stephen is that a trick question . Beause. Yes . You buttdialed reporters, twice you voluntarily appeared on a Television Show that i executive produce that is anchored by cartoons. Twice you were duped by sacha baron cohen, once i think, because judging by your lower teeth, your dentist trained in kazakhstan, as a veterinarian. Trump needs help anywhere he can get it, including divine intervention. And he has the support of his spiritual adviser and Real Estate Agent saying, before we go upstairs, you should know that the previous owner had a just a little murder problem. Watch where you step, paula white. To support the president , yesterday, paula led a marathon Prayer Service in orlando, and she was feeling the spirit. Strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike until you have victory. I hear a sound of shouting and singing i hear a sound of victory. I hear a sound of an abundance of rain, i hear a sound of victory. Victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory. Stephen dont you hate it when your preacher starts skipping . Tell you what, try wiping her off with a clean, damp cloth, or unplug her and plug her back in. White also summoned some very special poll watchers. Angels are being released right now, angels are being dispatched right now. For angels have even been dispatched from africa right now, africa right now, africa right now, from africa right now. Theyre coming here. Theyre coming here. In the name of jesus from south america theyre coming here. Stephen hold on, trumps asking for election interference from foreign angels . Thats clearly committing collusion in broad daylight rudy, help me out do they think were stupid . Do they think were fools . Stephen and what is the deal with the guy who keeps passing through the shot behind her . Is that her roommate, Walking Around with a rolledup new yorker . Hey, dont mind me. Keep going with your work thing. But id stay out of the bathroom for a while. Lets just say more than angels just dropped in. laughter at one point, she started speaking in tongues. speaking in tongues stephen all right. Maybe its me, maybe im a connoisseur of the mystical, but those arent very impressive tongues. It sounds like shes on level two of duolingo holy spirit edition. Of course, like king david, whites message to the lord can only be fully appreciated in song. singing in tongues i hear a sound of victory, i hear a sound of victory singing in tongues and strike, strike, strike, strike. The bidens are stealing this election tongue speaking in tongues we want freedom for the world. Until you have victory. Stephen where were we . Okay, so thats the monolog that we planned on. When we come back, you might notice that my emotional tone might have simmered down a bit, because we recorded that part first. But i got to tell you, it is a fantastic show youre going to want to stick around. Tonight, Larry Wilmore is here. But when we come back, an amazing meanwhile its got the whole yumnut thing in it.

My guest is an Emmy Awardwinning writer, producer and creator of shows such as insecure and grownish. He now hosts a new talk show on peacock called wilmore. Please welcome back to a late show, Larry Wilmore hello, larry, how are you . Hey, stephen, so good to see you, i love the way you said peacock stephen thats the nbc streaming thing. Thats the new streaming thing that is free. It costs no money. Stephen it costs no money . Thats a tough business model. The entry level is free. Stephen cbs is not all access anymore. Paramount plus. Stephen had to put that in there legally. I think its cbs questionable access. laughter stephen you predicted i just want to lay something at your feet right here. You predicted in 2016 trump would win. You were one to have the few people that said, nope, this doesnt smell right, hes going to do it. Last month you said theres no which trump is going to beat biden. How are you feeling about that prediction, Larry Wilmore . I feel good about it. I dont feel he can beat biden. The only way i feel is he can cheat biden is the other part of that and it feels like what hes trying to do in pennsylvania was an example of that. Trying to stop people from actually counting the votes while theyre in progress, stephen, ive never seen anything like that b, its unbelievable. Stephen the argument could be made we have a right to vote, doesnt say the right to count. Unless you are the count, and he would incest everyone would count. Stephen he usually gets to seven and starts laughing and he cant count anymore. He wears himself out because he laughs at his own jokes. Stephen the trump campaign, i was talking with charlemagne tha god and said the campaign reached out to black men and there was some success there. Were you surprised and do you agree that there was some success there . Well, i would say that trump had success with black men voter in the same way that jumping gets you closer to the sun, you know. laughter i mean, i guess. Stephen technically technically. Stephen but youre not in n. A. S. A. Yeah, i mean, you know, once they actually measure it, you know, you come up with real numbers that give you a little more context and clarity. Stephen what gives you hope, larry . What makes you feel good . This is going to sound corny, stephen, but i really do believe in the American People as a whole. I feel like we have been resilient through so many things. Weve had horrible things happen then our resiliency takes over. In the 60s, we had the Voting Rights act, we had the civil rights act. We went to the moon. We had horrible things to deal with but as a group we find a way. Stephen, im so inspired by our young people. Theyre involved in ways i never thought of when i was 19, 20 and that age, the way they care about the future gives me hope. Stephen my children are far more socially and politically conscious than i ever was, and i was a perfect child. Yes, stephen, we could have gone to jail for what we just innocently did back then for what you cant even do these days. Stephen right, because there would be a record of it because somebody would have recorded me jumping over that thing while i was doing the other thing and holding that other hinge in my hand. This theres no evidence of the thing. Stephen new show on peacock called wilmore, not your first fore into late night. Hows that different than anything else youve done. Its on air. Stephen it can be watched. I think i was purged from comedy central. I cant even find the episodes. The show came about in the wake of the george floyd moment, i was talking to the people at peacock, im working at universal, and they said it would be great to get on the air and respond to this, have that conversation with america that it says it wants to have and kind of build the show around that. So thats the space were in. Keep in mind, were doing it as a special. Were only doing 11 episodes and were using the elections a way to have that conversation and then after were done i think we have three or more episodes. We want to see if we want to do it as a series going forward. Stephen and then obviously the christmas episode. Yes, of course. Stephen from hawaii. Well, you say that but yours are legendary. laughter stephen thats fun. Ehey, ive got a question about the uncomfortable conversation thing. Yes. Stephen is that this spring and this summer i had a lot of black guests on the show and we had Uncomfortable Conversations and theres sort of the proverbial suggestion from black america to whitemark to say you need to have that uncomfortable conversation, you need to want that uncomfortable conversation, and its incumbent upon us to be ready for that uncomfortable conversation. I have a question about the term uncomfortable conversation. I understand in ways thats uncomfortable for white people. Is that a twoway uncomfortability . Are black people uncomfortable in their own way or uncomfortable at how uncomfortable we are during that conversation. Thats it, ewe only want you to be uncomfortable. It gives us so much joy. Stephen mission accomplished, larry stephen, we dont care about juneteenth, we want you to feel uncomfortable trying to figure out why its happening. Stephen why is there a picnic happening over there . Yes, weve got to do better. Theres julyteenth, too, guys. Where did that come from . Stephen talking about race, i already asked that one, thats the black people uncomfortable, and sorry about that, i apologize. This part will be edit out, larry. Exactly, or leave it in. Honesty. This is the uncomfortable part. Ill use it on my show, ill put it on peacock. Stephen fantastic. Not many people know this, i happen to know this, but you have a lifelong hobby which is magic. I do. Stephen who is that over your shoulder . That is herman. He was one of my favorite magicians growing up. Thats an interesting picture where he has a young black assistant, and i just always loved that poster, you know, so there you go. Stephen how did you first get into magic, larry . You know, i saw a magician, it was called the indian white guy. It was like a cub scout thing. It was cool, you learned about native american culture. Indian scouts with the y. I did that. You go with your dad or your mom. There was a magician there and made a rope with a knot and cut it off. My 7yearold brain couldnt accept that. I cut up so many ropes until i figured out at least how i could do it, and my parents gave me a magic settle for christmas and i was hooked ever since. Stephen are you still oh, yeah. Stephen even during zoom. I always have cards on me, always practicing. You want to see something now . Stephen yes, i would. Okay, all right. Its kind of awkward, so as i go just say stop somewhere. Stephen stop. Right here . Stephen sure. Take a look. Can you see that . Stephen i see the card, yes. Keep in mind, you could have chosen any of the cards, you could have said stop anywhere. Most to have the time when magicians do tricks, slight of hand, shuffle the cards, all that kind of stuff. Imt not going to do that. In fact, what im going to do, stephen, im going to wrap this deck in a rubber band and not allow my hands to do any slight of hand at all. And well find your card in the amount of time it takes to say mmm, how about president elect biden . Stephen that makes me nervous but go ahead. Thats the whole plan to have the trick, to make you nervous. Stephen is this part of the uncomfortable conversation . This is it. Stephen this is the one im supposed to have with black people . Its not the subject i thought. You were so afraid of it. Stephen this is actually kind of fun, okay. You should have had this months ago. I was trying to tell you when you werent returning my calls. If you were nervous, you thought i was calling you to have the talk. Stephen okay. What happens now. On the count of three ill say president elect biden. Remember your card . Stephen yes. One, two, three president elect biden stephen whoa is that the card . Stephen that is. That is actually impressive. Thats impressive to me even if you knew what my card was just that you could do that is impressive to me. Thats what im talking about. Stephen wow. Thats the conversation we had to have, stephen, right there. Stephen im sorry i put it off for so long, larry, and for all the other things that white people are sorry for.
