To make the ad more scientifically accurate, the late show made a slight adjustment. [rumbling] [screaming] announcer its the late show with Stephen Colbert tonight. Throwing shade plus, stephen welcomes representative alexandria ocasiocortez. And musical guest tyla. Featuring louis cato and the late show band. And now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, its Stephen Colbert [cheers and applause] stephen thanks, everybody. Welcome one and all up here, down there. Welcome, everybody, to the late show. Im your host, Stephen Colbert. And i just want to start off today by saying happy eclipse day im so glad to see all of you here in the ed sullivan theater. Because it means that my eclipse glasses worked and that my retinas are still intact. And i need those retinas for important stuff, like staring at my phone at 3 00 in the morning. Everybody see it . Everybody get a chance to see it today . [cheering] you got to see it . It was an amazing thing to see. Here at the late show, we moved up rehearsal so we could all go outside and watch. And as beautiful and otherworldly as eclipses are, there is a simple scientific explanation. For a brief moment, the dread god telebrion devours mother moon to punish gentle talaoth, the man within. Thats why we always ring the bell of noontime darkness to frighten telebrion back into the horn of dusk. [ringing] i learned all that from Neil Degrasse tyson. A few lucky people got to experience todays eclipse from 30,000 feet, because some airlines offered special flights to chase the eclipse path around the country. Okay, that sounds cool. But the windows are over here, the suns up there. And even if the plane does barrel rolls, what if youre in the middle seat . Could you just lean back a little . Open the shade a little . No . No . Okay, fine. Well, i get to watch napoleon. Of course, an eclipse is always a Good Opportunity to ponder our place amongst the stars. But its also a great time to see your pets go crazy. In fact, scientists warned pet owners that their Furry Friends may exhibit strange behaviors. And im being told we have footage of one dog during the eclipse. Outta my way stephen it happens. That was happening all over the line of totality. Thats on the totality only. Its not just pets. Experts also said that most animals would likely be confused by the darkness and start their nighttime routines. Aww. Animals have nighttime routines . Watch as the giraffe exfoliates with a waterbased cucumber cleanser, while its predator, the lion, plugs in its cpap machine. Oh, no. It forgot the distilled water. The eclipse started its trip across america in texas, and cnn announced the event with this chyron animals at dallas zoo react to total solar eclipse. Thank you, cnn. That is news you can use. I wish theyd give more animal takes on current events. I want to see breaking ringtailed lemur reacts to rfk jr. s v. P. Pick. Okay, cnn. How did the animals react . We started hearing a lot of more bird chatter out in the distance out there. Theres some guinea fowl that started running around and making kind of crazy sounds. And then we actually saw one of the younger giraffes start galloping around, as zebras started chasing him. Stephen thats right. The eclipse caused zoo animals to do the unthinkable anything. Usually theyre too depressed and just standing in one part of the enclosure where no one can see them. But, cnn guy, didnt you forgot to tell us the best part . I forgot to tell you guys the best part. Literally seconds ago, right before we came on the air, if you look between those two tree trunks, there was an ostrich that laid an egg and the ostrich was kind of standing over the egg for a moment. I cant tell you if she laid the egg at this particular time because of the eclipse or what the deal might be, but even the zoo folks here were curious about the timing of it all. [laughter] stephen no offense, but laying an egg is one of the things ostriches do. Im not sure if thats news. Call me when an ostrich poaches an egg. But that is by no means the dumbest coverage of this eclipse, because fox news decided to cover the story like this. Fox news alert a rare celestial event collides with a policy failure on the ground. The southern border will be directly in the path of totality today when the moon covers the sun. While everybody is going to be looking up, if youre looking down here at the border, here is some of what youre gonna see. Youll see Illegal Immigrants dressed in dark clothing, sometimes camouflage, actively trying to sneak into the United States. Stephen yes. Oh, yes, immigrants in dark clothing are using the eclipse to sneak across the border. They wont get another opportunity like that. [laughter] until night. [cheers and applause] of course, donald trump had to make the eclipse all about himself. He posted this bizarre ad that was made by one of his fans. Stephen that is a hell of a campaign message. I will bring darkness upon the earth. Blocking out all the lifegiving warmth, driving the animals to stark madness. Give me that ostrich egg, daddy wants a giant mcmuffin. Give it up. Here i am. [applause] ooh, one thing they left out of trumps eclipse commercial was the time he stared directly at the eclipse. Which is why this year, President Biden released his own eclipse video. Folks, enjoy the eclipse. But play it safe. Dont be silly. Stephen yeah, folks. I tell ya, you gotta protect your eyes, folks no joke. Thats why im doing this with double shades right there. Whoa howd it get so dark . Dont worry. Everythings fine. Im just a tall, unsteady old man alone by a low balcony railing who cant see a damn thing. Marco marco there you go. [cheers and applause] was joe biden just here . Its been an interesting week here in new york city, because in addition to the eclipse, on friday, the east coast was hit by a rare 4. 8 magnitude earthquake. I think well all remember where we were when we said, whats that sound . Is my neighbor making a smoothie . And at the time, this is true, i was at newark airport. I was flying to south carolina. I was in line at Dunkin Donuts buying my affleck juice, when suddenly the ceiling of terminal a started shaking, the lights were swaying, and i thought why would they put a truck ramp on top of an airport terminal . That doesnt seem sustainable. Then everybodys looking at their phones saying, hey, there was an earthquake. And after all that, my coffee still wasnt ready. Okay . America may run on dunkin, im just saying dunkin needs to pick up the pace. Even though it was barely a tremor, we did get some fun footage from the statue of liberty. Look at that. Reminds me of that famous poem. Give me your tired, your poor, your whoa, whoa, whoa lady liberty wasnt the only landmark getting in on the action. The Empire State Building tweeted, i am fine. Nice to know. Thats comforting. You dont want anything to happen. [applause] while the Port Authority bus terminal tweeted, kill me. [laughter] louis wow. Stephen poor Port Authority. What did it ever do to me . While no one was hurt, there were some dicey moments, specifically for a pennsylvania man who got a vasectomy during the earthquake. Ooh, that is scary. Especially since he went in for a root canal. The man is totally fine, but, according to the patient, when the doctor said he was pausing the operation, i figured he was messing with me. Yeah, cause if theres one thing urologists are famous for, its doing tricks. All right, im going to make a small incision and whoa, hey, who put all these handkerchiefs in your taint . [laughter] an earthquake directly followed by an eclipse feels a little apocalyptish. But there is one armageddonforetelling phenomenon thats kinda fun. Because the italian volcano mount etna is blowing smoke rings into the sky. That is so cool i mean, how does that even happen . Jim, can we take a closer look inside that volcano . Okay, here we go. Okay, were descending down the caldera. And i knew it its your college roomate, dan. Come on, dan these smoke rings seem innocent enough, but back in the 17th century, etna buried the town of nicolosi. So, italians, please stay safe, or at least make sure youre in a cool pose for future archaeologists to uncover. Everyone should have one ready. Im either going with double guns or coppertone baby. Speaking of. [applause] ooh, speaking of the end times donald trump. This weekend, trump held a fundraiser down in palm beach, where his campaign claims he raised an eyepopping 50 million. Wow, that is impressive or not, because, so far, the amount has not been verified. That has big my girlfriend at summer camp was so hot energy. Yeah, uh, me and brenda, we kissed the french way, its so sexy you cant verify it. And then she gave me 50 million. At that price, trump had to play all the hits, so naturally he got real racist about immigrants, saying, why cant we allow people to come in from nice countries . Nice countries, you know, like denmark . Maybe because people dont tend to flee one of the happiest countries on earth. Astrid, we have to get out of copenhagen.

Ladies and gentlemen, my guest tonight is a threeterm democratic congresswoman from new york. Please welcome back to the late show, congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez. [cheers and applause] [cheering] rep. Ocasiocortez thank you. Stephen hi. Rep. Ocasiocortez hi. Hows it going . Stephen pretty well. Nice to see you. Its been too long. Theres a lot to catch up. The first and we should talk about is the big story of the day, did you take in the eclipse . Rep. Ocasiocortez i did. I did. My puppy and i went to the Lexington School for the deaf in queens and hung out with all the kids. Stephen is that what this is . Is this your puppy. Rep. Ocasiocortez yes. Stephen play it safe. Rep. Ocasiocortez thats deco. Thats deco. He had his protective eyewear too. Stephen okay, good. I know youre a congresswoman now. But you wanted to be a scientist originally. Rep. Ocasiocortez i did. Yeah. Stephen where is this . Rep. Ocasiocortez oh, my god. This was at the intel isef science competition. So there you go. Stephen congress returns, is it tomorrow . Rep. Ocasiocortez yes, tomorrow. Stephen a twoweek break. You made a lot of news for giving a speech on the floor of the house before the break. And were coming up on, just past six months of the war between israel and gaza. The unfolding crisis over there. The heartbreak and the horror of asymmetrical war. The horrors of the attack of october 7th and the horror people see of the innocent lives lost in the military response. Tens of thousands of lives being lost there. But you took it a further step. I think you think you were the first person to do this in the congress. You said, you called the famine in gaza an unfolding genocide. That is an electric term to be using against the actions of a country that was formed in the wake of the greatest genocide of the 20th century. If politics is the art of the possible, youre a politician. What did you hope to make possible by going that far in your description . Rep. Ocasiocortez i appreciate the extent of that question. While i was not the first in congress to use that term, it certainly was a dedicated speec towards it before the beginning, rather the end of that session. And to me, what i saw in that moment is that we have been on the precipice of a mass famine that would indiscriminately kill nearly a million children, adults, innocent people, men, women, and children. And this is an utterly heartbreaking moment. As you mentioned the attacks on october 7th were horrifying. The hostages that are being held in gaza are also being endangered and imperiled by an indiscriminate famine and bombardment campaign as well. And its important that they be home. But i think in using this term, it is not to engage in a game of rhetoric. But it is for us to see what is happening for what it is. I am very, very close growing up, one of my closest friends is a survivor of the rwanda genocide. And ive been speaking with him a lot while all of this has been unfolding. And i asked him, would you have wanted to see an american member of congress say while you were a child fleeing rwanda . And what he had told me was i wish people would have seen us as human, because genocide is a crime of scale of dehumanization. And in order for us to prevent and to save lives, we have to rehumanize the people whose death has been normalized. And i think thats really what this moment is about. In order for us to establish a lasting peace and security for both israelis and palestinians. Stephen well, the president of the United States, the leader of your party, joe biden, staunch supporter of israel, a man also with an enormous amount of empathy. Im curious have you spoken to him directly about this . Rep. Ocasiocortez i have. Stephen what have those conversations been like if you can tell me. Rep. Ocasiocortez i think its important, i think many of us have engaged the president on this issue. And youre correct. He is a man of tremendous empathy. And you know, i think as time goes on, we are starting to see the increased urgency that he is seeing on this issue. He called Prime Minister netanyahu recently, and i think weve seen dramatic shifts since that time, especially after the world central kitchen workers were attacked and seven of them passed away. I think what we are seeing particularly in this moment is aid trucks starting to come through, although nowhere near the level needed to avoid a famine. But we are starting to see some of that progress because at the end of the day and were going to take this, its not just about, and i said this on the floor, its not just about israel. Its not just about gaza. This is about us. Because this is u. S. Taxpayer assistance and what is being financed with our resources. If anything, if any conflict is going to have u. S. Resources, then it does become a matter of our values, and if we are to protect Democracy Worldwide we have to show what democracy is good for. And to me, showing the value of democracy is the commitment to human rights, to the sanctity of civil rights, the rules of war, and to ensure that people at the end of the day, the humanity of innocent populations is preserved and protected at all costs. Stephen we have to take a quick break. Well be right back with more alexandria ocasiocortez, everybody. Stick around. That grimy film on your teeth .

In the democratic primaries, this crisis has already had an impact on our politics here. Israel and the palestinian crisis always has some effect. Its part of our political conversation in the United States, but theres been a very interesting and very direct one in the primaries. Just last week, 15 of voters in rhode island, 11 in connecticut, 8 in wisconsin voted uncommitted to protest the u. S. Support of the present military action in israel under netanyahus government. What do you make of that movement . Do you have anything, as a prominent progressive voice, to say to those people . Rep. Ocasiocortez yeah. Stephen who are holding up thei support over this. Rep. Ocasiocortez well, i think first of all, its important, we need to acknowledge actually the upside of the uncommitted movement, which is that these are folks that could have easily given way to cynicism and walked away from this process entirely. And what theyre doing instead is using the primary to send a message and say this is important to me to the president. This is important to me. Im going to engage in our democratic process. I am going to show up. I am going to vote. Im going to say whats important to me but i also know and i do believe that many in the uncommitted campaign believe this, i also know and understand the threat of a donald trump presidency. The Democratic Party has alwayse have to bring everybody together every time. Because thats what it means to be american. And so they are offering and saying this is whats important to us. A lasting peace is whats important to us. And this is a message we want to send before the convention. Its the message we want to send before the general election, because we are committed and together on all of these values. On the other side of this too, beyond the uncommitted campaign, on the other side of the spectrum, there is an enormous, 100 million financed operation to primary every virtually any sitting member of congress that calls for ceasefire. You have Jamaal Bowman here that has a primary challenge, cori bush has a primary challenge. I myself have a primary challenge just for saying that palestinians deserve human rights that they should be protected. And so we do have a complex political fabric around this issue in this country. I think that it should be centered and where our homebase always is, is what are our values as americans . And if our commitment to lasting peace, global democracy, and our own values for freedom of speech and liberty, then if these are the values that we want to protect, then we have to acknowledge and see one another for the pain that were holding. And once people feel like their concerns have been seen, then we can start the process of coming together. And so right now these are folks who want to be seen. I think theyre using this process to be seen and its best that we do that now than for folks to stay home in november. [applause] stephen so respond to this now is what you recommend the Biden Administration to do so people can trust his judgment in the future. Before we move on to the next subject, will you be voting for joe biden . Rep. Ocasiocortez i will be voting for President Biden in november, yes. Stephen we have to take another little break here but if youll stick around and youll stick around, well be right back with more congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez.

Crest 3d white. 100 more stain removal. Crest. Stephen hey, everybody. Looky here. Local congresswoman made good, alexandria ocasiocortez. Today the white house announced plans for a new Student Debt Relief program. That you personally worked on. Tell me about it. Rep. Ocasiocortez so there are over 40 million student loan borrowers in the United States. Today President Biden just unveiled a plan to offer relief in some way, shape, or form, either complete or partial, to 30 million of them. 30 million student loan borrowers are going to start seeing relief. [applause] stephen just because i know how recently this was you, are you one of the people who will benefit from this program . Rep. Ocasiocortez i dont think i will be. Actually im going to be one of the few that doesnt. Im a member of congress. Im a little bit outside the threshold and bounds. But if i wasnt, you know, just a few years ago, waitress me five years ago would have benefited. Congresswoman me will not, but thats okay. Ill take the knock if it means that people can get relief. This is huge. People getting student loan forgiveness, their Student Loans canceled, it means that its hope to buy a house or have a kid or travel abroad or maybe even go back to school and pursue a career that maybe they otherwise wouldnt have. One of the reasons thats not me now is because i didnt feel like id be able to afford medical school. And so hopefully someone else whos at a isef competition somewhere will be able to do that because of this. [applause] stephen as Congress Comes back in, everyones going to be watching mike johnson and how he wrangles his slim majority which is 1 now, right . Okay. In whats become one of the least effective congresses since the Great Depression. Its always great to add since the Great Depression in any sentence. But also hes got this completely unruly congressional caucus himself. Republican congressman mike turner and Michael Mccaul said russian propaganda has infected the republican parties base and the republicans in congress are repeating russian propaganda on the house floor. Can i get a witness . Have you seen this . What do you make of that kind of self accusation . Rep. Ocasiocortez i mean, i think if you turn on any House Oversight hearing in the last year, you will see Marjorie Taylor greene and Lauren Boebert and all these folks engaged in wildly propagandist rhetoric. Lets just rewind a second. We just went through an impeachment attempt on the president of the United States that was started with the source that republicans used that was in communication with russian intelligence. So you have not just the bottom bench here. You have the chairman of the House Oversight committee, representative comer, take quoteunquote evidence an account from someone who was working with the russian intelligence and try to impeach and remove the president of the United States over it. This is serious. Stephen how did they not know that or did they know that this was connected to the russians . Or did they not figure that out because they hadnt translated from the cyrillic . Rep. Ocasiocortez that i think is a very excellent question for chairman comer. Stephen he wont come on. Rep.
