Im walking by myself who is going to know captioning sponsored by Comedy Central captioned by stephen tonight, science finds the key to a long, healthy life. Whatever it is, i bet it tastes good fried. [ laughter ] then, controversy over the new bin laden film. They shouldnt have let him do his own singing. [ laughter ] and my guest, chris kluwe, is an nfl punter and gay rights advocate. Wow, pretty brave for an nfl player to admit hes a punter. [ laughter ] jimmy kimmel starts in his new 11 35 time slot tonight. But since hes my direct competition, i refuse to mention him. This is the colbert report. Captioning sponsored by Comedy Central [the colbert report theme music playing] [cheers and applause] thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the report.

I have to thank you for that and i want to thank you for joining me in here, out there nation, we all know the economys not in great shape. Just today the dow dropped fifty five of whatever it is. [ laughter ] dowlers. [ laughter ] so i was glad to hear that one of my investments skyrocketed in value today. Forever is going to cost you more, and by forever i mean United States post offices forever stamp. Come january 27, it goes up by one cent. [ laughter ] stephen folks, i dont wanna brag but back in 2007, i bought dozens of forever stamps when they were still 41 cents a pop. Now theyre 46 cents. God knows how much thats worth. [ laughter ] every time i send a letter, thats pure profit every second im not lickin, im losing money. [ laughter ] but as smart an investment as this was, it just proves the government cant do anything right. This price hike is an outrage. A penny . let me get this straight, post office. I put a letter like this in a metal box on any Street Corner in, say, miami and within a couple days its delivered in seattle, washington. And for that you want 46 cents . [ laughter ] you go to hell. [ laughter ] what what . What am i, made of cents . Whats next . 47 cents . theres no telling whats after that. [ laughter ] well screw the post office. At this price, ill deliver my own letters, thank you. [ laughter ] note to self, check orbitz for flights to everywhere. [ laughter ] nation, they say an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Thats why last year, i bought 365 iphones. This is Cheating Death with dr. Stephen t. Colbert, dfa. [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] quick disclaimer i am not a medical doctor. Im an honorary doctor of fine arts, so most of my patients do a pretty good impression of the scream. As always, Cheating Death is brought to you by prescott pharmaceuticals. Prescott see what everyones suing about [ laughter ] first up, aging. Old stephen thanks. Folks, were all searching for the secret to longevity. Me, im not worried. Because according my medical history, ive been alive every day of my life. [ laughter ] so project that forward, and i will never die. Thats math. [ laughter ] and folks, there is new evidence that the Stephen Colbert lifestyle will ensure years from now you will be sitting pretty, enjoying free food at all your friends funerals. [ laughter ] jim . Can losing your cool actually be good for you . A new german study found people who express their anger live two years longer on average than those who bottle up their rage. Stephen yes, a german study found that expressing anger leads to a longer life. [ laughter ] although, when germans express their anger, others tend to live shorter lives. [ laughter ] folks, ive long known rage was a life saver. I learned it from my mentor Rush Limbaugh because every time you look at him you gotta ask, how is he still alive . [ laughter ] of course, not everyone is naturally blessed with soulchoking bitterness. Luckily, the good folks at prescott have an exciting way to induce rage in the terminally calm. Introducing vacsaternity a wonder pill that will add years to your life in a single dose. Now, to access the lifeextending capsule simply take the plastic off the [ laughter ] i think i bleep chipped my tooth. [ laughter ] all right. That comes up, all right. Like that. Okay.

Insert phillips head allen wrench not included and turn intraclockwise with less than two pounds of bleep . Open up. Give me my pills [ laughter ] [cheers and applause] side effects of vacsaternity include abdominal foosball, elbowbaggins, and the humpty hump. A. [ laughter ] of course, if you use vacsaternity and live forever, youre going to want a strong body and a sharp mind so, our next subject aging. Old [ laughter ] stephen that is strangely familiar. [ laughter ] man has long searched for the fountain of youth. Weve tried it all potions, plastic surgery, watching benjamin button while standing next to a microwave. Its gotta do something. [ laughter ] well, theres new hope that we can turn back the clock. Scientists now think that they found how to reverse effects of aging. According to stanford university, if you get a blood transfusion from someone younger it could help improve learning and memory. Stephen yes, the blood of the young can help improve your memory, although you will remember only xbox cheat codes and taylor swifts exboyfriends. [ laughter ] [cheers and applause] now, the studys author, doctor saul villeda, connected the circulatory systems of old and young mice so their blood could mingle, resulting in a 20 increase in connections between brain cells for the old mices. Also known as the worlds most disturbing episode of pinky and the brain. [ laughter ] apparently absorbing the blood of the young can reverse the effects of aging. Which is great news, otherwise i would have to resort to something disturbing, like exercise. [ laughter ] folks, in light of this breakthrough, prescott is proud to introduce vacsatern a medicalgrade young person harvested straight from my intern program. [ laughter ] nice to meet you, vacsatern. Its jay. Stephen shhh. No names. Makes it creepy. [ laughter ] heres how it works. Just find the preinstalled spigot on the interns back. And fill er up with young mmmmm, mmmmm. [ laughter ] wanna go skateboarding lols twitter skinny jeans [ laughter ] how you feeling, jay . No one ever calls me where are my glasses . Hispanic people steal [ laughter ] stephen quiet, grandpa youre harshing my blood buzz. [ laughter ] you can go now. But stay close, jay. Im so thirsty. [ laughter ] [cheers and applause] side effects of vacsatern include tongue depression, intercranial nougat, and craftmatic adjustable head. [ laughter ] thats it for Cheating Death, brought to you by prescott pharmaceuticals. Remember our motto one mans medical malpractice is another mans free anatomical skeleton until next time, ill see you in health [cheers and appla [cheers and applause] welcome back, everybody. Thanks so much. [cheers and applause] folks [cheers and applause] i dont think its any secret that im a huge fan of going to the movies. Its a great place to catch up on my cell phonecalls. [ laughter ] one film i was really looking forward to was zero dark thirty, oscarwinner Kathryn Bigelows critically acclaimed film about the hunt for Daniel Day Lewis. [ laughter ] i hear hes fantastic. I am so glad hes dead. [ laughter ] but, folks, im never going to see it now. Because ms. Bigelow was supposed to be my guest last night, and she cancelled at the last minute, and i was zero dark pissed. [ laughter ] evidently, lady oscar bait here chickened out of facing my music over a looming Senate Investigation into her film. Ooo, i am angry. Everyone else talk. Seems like everyone is talking about zero dark thirty, even the us senate. The Senate Committee is now reportedly investigating the movie about the hunt for osama bin laden. This movie suggests that torture may have led to information on bin laden being found. I think half an hour is advice call and viewers will get the idea that torture netted bin laden. Stephen evidently hoar is what they want to know. They want to know what the information was that tracked down the terrorist. And whether or not they tried to mislead them into torture finding bin laden. Stephen i say bravo, Senate Intelligence committee. We are long overdue for a thorough investigation into americas use of torture in movies. [ laughter ] not in reality. Way back in 2009 president obama decided against an investigation. And a criminal investigation ended last year with no charges and no public report. And thats how it should be. Because remember, nation, when it comes to actual torture, what you dont know wont hurt you. [ laughter ] and if you do know, we will hurt you until you tell us what you know. [ laughter ] but this is more important than reality. This is the movies, where americans learn their history. [ laughter ] thats how i learned that slavery was bad, and lincoln was killed by a vampire. [ laughter ] again Daniel Day Lewis is a genius. He will be missed. [ laughter ] the key question is not whether torture led to bin laden, but whether it will lead to oscarrrrrr [ laughter ] because this movie is racking up the praise. Last night it won the new york film critics most movie award. And my erstwhile guest bigelow somehow found time to attend that function, saying depiction is not endorsement, and if it was, no artist could ever portray inhumane practices; no author could ever write about them; and no filmmaker could ever delve into the knotty subjects of our time. Okay. Subject closed though not the subject theyre asking about. Which is did the cia feed bigelow false information to justify the cias torture program as effective when it is not . That is a knotty subject that im not sure the senate is prepared to investigate. The only way to know is for Kathryn Bigelow to make a movie about Kathryn Bigelow making this movie and then make sure that the cia gives her information that the information they previously gave her was true. [ laughter ] now i know that logic may seem tortured, but we know torture works, i saw it in a movie [ laughter ] well be right back. My guest tonight is an outspoken punter for the Minnesota Vikings. If youre into a frank discussion of kicking things, dont touch that dial. Please welcome chris kluwe. [cheers and applause] hay, mr. Kluwe. Welcome to the though. Im thrilled to have you here. Im a fan of sport. Sport or sport ball. You play the football, do you not . I do play the football. Stephen its got the points on the end. Its elongated stonchts stitches on the top. I love it when they play that game. [ laughter ] minnesota, you guys this past weekend played green bay. We did. Stephen what some have called the cholesterol bowl. The cheese bowl i believe is another name for it. Stephen lands of meatz and cheeses. You got your ludifus handed to you. I played well. When i play well thats a sign the team is not playing well. Stephen because your job is to give the ball away. Im a professional surrenderer. They call on me and say chris go give to the ball to the other team but do it in a good way so were not hurt to badly. Stephen surrender in the least humiliating fashion. You love but green bay is practicing in the cold and you dont have to work tomorrow and you are haying out with celebrities. I think we seat winner here. Stephen dont get me wrong. [ laughter ] that is the last moment of camaraderie were going to have. Im about to bring it and theres no defensive line to protect you. Come on. Come on, really . Im a Football Player thats what i do. I flex. Stephen that brings me to if i first subject. Okay. Stephen the story here. The reason why your name is break out all over the place is because there was a Baltimore Ravens player. He came out in support of marriage equality. Letting the gays marry, okay. A maryland state delegate who opposed gay marriage wrote a letter to the ravens owner asking the mer be silenced. You then wrote a letter, kind of on oped letter to deadspin. Mmhmm. Stephen why would you support gay marriage . You are in the most hyper masculine support in the world thank is true. Stephen Football Players are a thousand miles from gay. You would be surprised. Stephen no, no, men in tight pants patting each other on the butt nothing gay about that. Get that butt out of my face. Get it out of there. So angry. Get that butt out of here [ laughter ] why, what led you to do this . Because i felt. First off i believe would you identify with this. Stephen i do not identify with anything. Okay. The reason i wrote the letter because as an elected official delegate burns does not have the right to stifle free speesm thats the first amendment. When he wrote the letter saying stifle this man as free speech it irked me as an american because its not what this country is about. I firmly believe people are people and deserve to be treated the same as everyone else. [cheers and applause] stephen its pretty easy to play the people are people card. I happen to know serve a person. You are pandering. Theres no corporations out there . Stephen they are always welcome here. I do not discriminate. You didnt just like take issue with this guy. You wrote things along this line. You called the dell did you get quote a narcissistic frumnda stain who said he was worried gay marriage would turn him into a quote lustful bleep monster. Yes. [cheers and applause] [ laughter ] pleased to know so far with the defeat of the marriage Amendment Act in minnesota i have seen zero bleep monsters running around in minnesota. Stephen im shocked a man who spends so much time in a locker room would know such foreign foul language in the locker room but i play a lot of Online Gaming but the forum boards are a cesspool pit and you can learn foul things. Jon is troll on its troll on ork. Stephen that say sickness. Youve been vocal about gun control. I believe we should control guns more. Stephen should gay people be allowed to have guns . If they want to. If they are controlled. Stephen makes those pa raids even more frightening. Imagine if you were at a pride parade and you start throwing rocks at the gay people and one of them pulled out an ar15. Would you throw rocks. Stephen first of all i would never throw rocks at a pride parade. Why not . Stephen i would throw dplitter. Even better. Stephen thank you so much from the Minnesota Vikings and a lot of editorial pages chris
