Stephen welcome, welcome, welcome one and all my friends, my true friends. Stephen, stephen, stephen welcome to the report. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much. Oh, ladies and gentlemen, after a greeting like that i just want to blow your bagpipe. laughter folks, i hope you know that when it comes to sexual equality in the workplace i take a backseat to no one except my driver pablo. Okay. Hes a guy, because if you have seen how women parallel park, huhuh. But today, folks, i believe that we as a nation crossed an imaginary line that is suddenly all too real. The colbert reports someone on msnbc has more. Were watching the senate floor where they just passed the employment nondiscrimination act which provides workplace protection for the lgbt community. Stephen you hear that Workplace Community for the lgbt community. They want to make it illegal for an employer to discriminate against lesbia lesbian gays laughter batman and i know this one, i know one, tartar sauce, yes. Well, those into the tartar sauce lifestyle. Now luckily this enda bill applies only to companies with 15 or more employees so youre safe for now 14 bigots moving and storage. laughter now folks, if you think, if you ares saying to yourself oh t wont affect my workplace, folks youre dead wrong. As the American Family association warns, rest rooms and locker rooms could become landmines for disputes and disturbances. An anatomically male employee who claims a female gender identity might be able to demand access to the womens rest room. Now folks its already started here in new york city. X6 this is true, an all gender rest room symbol. Look at this you got a guy, you got a girl, the next one over there is already sporting a boner and laughter and the one on this end is in some sort of crazy sex swing. No way i could pee in there. I would get stage fright. Now folks it is a nightmare for employers. As the Family Research council counsels, enda would force religious Business Owners and workplaces such as Christian Book stores to accept as normal transvestite and drag queens. Oh yeah. It is wellknown that bette did letter over here is just doing those cab a receipt act until she lands her dream act of figurines of jesus playing baseball. Today it is transgender. Tomorrow the government will tell me i cant fire a mermaid. Im sorry, excuse me, a hermafrotrout. No matter what it cost knees make her cubicle watertight. That is why before enda takes effect im getting rid of everyone on my staff who doesnt share my personal sexual preferences. And not just the lgbhgtvlmnop crowd, okay. If are you not a premium member of tall women carrying heavy things. Com, we dont need your kind around here. Nation, you know i loves me the super bowl. It is the stanley cup of sports people actually watch. But lately there has been much controversy in the great game of football. For more this is the sport report. Nation cheers and applause stephen nation, i cannot begin to tell you how much of our childhood was spent on the gridiron because i have no recollection, should have worn a helmet. And my favorite nfl team is always been the Washington Redskins. But my team is facing some unnecessary roughness from the pc police. Will the Washington Redskins be forced to change its name. At a meeting earlier this week leaders there the united Indian Nation asked the nfl to sanction Team Owner Daniel Snyder for continuing to use what they call a racial slur. For us, the r word is the n word. Wrong. Its if the r word was the n word i wouldnt be able to say it on the air, watch this, redskin redskin redskin. See . laughter totally fine. Now let me try that with the n word. N okay, so sign here, and sign here, there, im sorry, apologize, no, i wrote the n word again, apologize. There you go. There you go. All right, thank you, thank you. Anyway, Redskins Team owner dan snyder has defended keeping the name by citing a recent ap poll that found that 79 of americans are in favor of keeping the name. 21 want the redskins to change it but i bet those are the same people who want to change the name of potato skins for offending the irish. But folks, in an open letter to fans snyder explained i was born a fan of the Washington Redskins. That tradition, the song, the cheer, it matters so much to me as a child. It isnt just where we came from, its who we are. Yes, our past is who we are, we redskin fans are prone to this land since 19 33. Now strangers threaten our sacred ground where we feast on the food of our ancestors, the 14 hot dog. And don our ceremonial dress, wigs and rubber pig noses that symbolize our proud tradition of, i dont actually know why we do that. But folks, this tradition is being attacked and its not the only thing turning this brain scrambling game ugly. The Miami Dolphins have indefinitely suspended a player over accusations of bullying. The dolphins announced that the offensive guard Richie Incognito suspension shortly before midnight last night. Jonathan martin left the Team Last Week after an incident in the lunchroom where teammate its reportedly got up and left the table as soon as he sat down. I bet they also made fun of him for wearing clothes with dolphins on them. laughter so i would like to extend the reports deepest sympathyes to the victim, Richie Incognito. If only he had a way to hide his identity right now. I mean ever since this story broke, folks, incog nilt owe has been pushed around by the kindness cabal just because he left martin this voicemail. Hey, wazup you half n word piece of blank. You been training ten week, ill blank in your blank mouth. Im going to slap your real mother across the face, blank you. Youre still a rookie. Ill kill you. Stephen personally, i think its nice he picked up the phone. laughter too many people these days just text their threats to crap in your mouth. Now folks, im not the only one protecting richies blindside. Hes also got the support of fox news analyst and star of the problem child movie dr. Carls carlson, jim . Look,ni im in total sympathy with anybody snubbed by anybody and against human cruelty and against bullying. But it a little odd that the purpose of the game is to go out and kill people but you get in trouble for being rude to someone at lunch. Stephen hes right, football is about murdering people. You get six points per kill plus an extra point if they take their severed head through the upright. And there is also some nonsense about crossing a line and of what ever downs are but once people stop dying thats when i go recheese my nachos. Folks, dr. Carlson understands this gets to a deeper problem in our society. And by the way, lets be honest, this bullying thing, it is a fad, just like selfesteem, just like, you know, low cash diets or whatever t is mass hysteria, were all worried about bullying. Stephen yeah, being worried about bullying is just a fad like poodle skirts or separate water fountains, get over it. What dow really when you think about t this isnt even bullying, it is really hazing. Martin was a rookie and rookies have to pay their dues. Then next year he has the privilege of threatening to crap in someone elses mouth. Its all being a role model. Well be right back. cheers and applause welcome back, eveu thank you so much. Nation, i dont do this show for the awards, i do it for you. Why dont you give me awards. laughter there is who might be honoring meni next now folks i dont have to tell you i won two emmies this year. Because i can just show you instead. cheers and applause so folks, not enough. There is still a hole in my heart the shape of another award. Now it looks like im this much closer to filling it. Jim . Its nominees for favorite late night talk show host are conan obrien. David letterman. Jimmy fallon. Jimmy kimmem. And Stephen Colbert. Thats right im nominated for a peoples choice award. I have always wanted to win a peoples choice award ever since i heard they still existed. And now folks, my dream may come true. I may finally take home the coveted i want to say crystal vagina . Im not sure what that is, nice, nice, whatever it is. Folks, i love it. Because this is the only award chosen by the people. Finally a show that celebrates americas life of liking things. Of course the colbert report is a team effort so really this nomination is for everyone on my staff who hosts the show. laughter and, and ive got some stiff competition. I respect all of these guys. May the best man win but as a journalist, i would be remiss not to tell you about their sordid past. For starters the jimmies are a personal friends of mine. But did you know that neither of them is really named jimmy . Both of them were born james, uhhuh. What else are they lying to you about . And there is no greater fan of David Letterman that yours truly but he kills ducks in the park with a tack hammer. laughter allegedly, allegedly. I have no proof of that. Good luck, dave. And conan obrien may be a great guy but hes no fan of people. Does he employ a masturbatting human . No, not since max weinberg left. Whereas i, i Stephen Colbert live solely to entertain the people. cheers and applause now folks, you say stephen, im a people, how do i choice. Well, for the 2014 addrd was, folk, the American Academy of peopling is allowing to you cast your votes through the peoples choice web site, their iphone app or via social media like facebook or twitter which makes them relevant. And they say there is very important, you can vote as often as you like and encourage your friends to vote too. Hmmmm, i wonder if i have any friends i can encourage to vote for me . cheers and applause you ready to do this, nation . Oh, go to peoples choice. Com and vote for me in the category of favorite late night talk show host. Voting ends december 5th but please do not vote more than 6 billion times. That might seem suspicious. Well be right back. 9u ub welcome back, everybody, my guest tonight is an professor with the new book the story of the human body evolution, health and disease. I picked health. Please welcome daniel lieberman. cheers and applause hey, good to see you, how are you, nice to see you again, daniel. All right. You have been on the show before, talked about barefoot run last time. Yes. It is getting cold, i prefer to wear socks when it is cold. Im just getting old and the older you get the more a crave warmth. Stephen thats one of the things that mod hirnl does that old humans didnt do, we get old, right. Thats one of the advantages we have over them, we can just, in a fight we can just outlast them. Thats true. What is interesting is the hunters gatherers, nasty miserable lives. Stephen they did. Well, actually, the hunter gatherers if they survived childhood they had pretty high childhood mortality rates but if they survived they lived to their 60s, 70s and 80s and were extraordinarily healthy as far as we could tell. They had heart disease. They didnt have type ii diabetes. Osteoporosis. Weve got them all. Stephen we got that on them. Yeah. Stephen they only had one type of diabetes. They never needed obamacare. Yeah, because they, you know what, they lived pretty long and very healthy lives. And although they did get sick, they didnt get the kind of chronic noninfectious diseases that we get today. Stephen well, everything you are saying, i dont have to tell you but everything are you saying is in your new book the story of the human body, evolution, health and disease. Is our body, are our bodies changing now. Absolutely. Stephen because, you know, i thought evolution was survival of the fittest. Well, to some extent it is, yes. So evolution is, occurs in multiple ways. One kind of evolution is that, Natural Selection what darwin wrote about, there is variation, some of the variations like you probably look a bit like your parents i imagine because you inherited genes from them. And then lots of siblings, some of you inherited different genes from your parents than other ones and some had more kids than others. And those of you who had genes that benefitted you in terms of having more offspring, are you going to pass those genes on preferentialally to the next generation so, that is Natural Selection. Stephen if you accept Natural Selection. Exactly. Stephen because it is the theory of evolution and a assume that this book is on the pro theory side. Absolutely. Stephen okay. A lot of books are against it, this is oneonone side there are a lot againstxd it. At least im on the same side as the pope so its okay. But anyway. Stephen youre not going to win any points by talking about the pope with me, okay, that guy is also pro poor, but go ahead. There is another kind of evolution. Its cultural evolution. So our culturesco change too. Like for example you know, if you had been giving there show in the 17th or 18th century you would be wearing a really fantastic wig. Stephen i would be burned as a witch because tv didnt exist back then. Exactly and spending a lot of money on that powder and that kind of stuff. But we grew beyond that we no longer wear wigs, other things in our culture constantly changed. Stephen gay marriage. Gay marriage, exactly. All kinds of things are changeco and those changes affect our bodies, some of them, gay marriage obviously affects our bodies. Stephen obviously. Ever since gay marriage is legal i keep gaining weight. Its like sugar. Stephen it is. Transfat wa, about our diet, our diet has changed. He nor losely. Incredibly since industrialization, so the first big shift in our diet was really agriculture revolution so, we started growing food. Stephen what are we talking about, 1960s . Well, it started about 600 generations ago so. Stephen what is that, 1940s. 1940s, 10,000 years before that. Stephen 10,000 years ago we started growing corn. Well, yes, in the middle east you started growing barley and wheat in china rice and in the near east, in messo america we started growing corn but that is only 6generations ago that is the number of generations of mise that have lived in my basement in the last 100 years. Stephen wow, you got a problem. Actually, we do. And im constantly out there with my mouse traps. But anyway, but what has happened is that that is actually not thatch time. Weve he volume ofed since then. There have been adaptation, for example when my ancestors and maybe your ancestors adaptions to drink milk, so that is a Natural Selection. But. Stephen they got that heat vision. Yes, wouldnt that be cool. But the other side of the coin is that there is a lot of changes that we have had that which we havent adapted for. And so we get what we call mismatch disease, diseases in which our bodies are inadequately adapted to the mad earn world and sugar is one of the biggest ones. We cannot handle foods that have a lot of sugar. Stephen but evolution arily, dont we crave sugar, isnt that the reason why it tastes so great to us. Right. Stephen is evolution killing us . In a way, in a way its because of evolution that we crave sugar because sugar is full of energy. And if you are a hunter gathererer you are barely surviving it is great to want as much sugar as you can, hunters love honey, they will eat as much as they can but they dont get that much. Most of the food is a about as sweet as a carrot. Stephen what about transfats, did they have that. They dont have transfats as you know. Stephen i did not know, i wouldnt have asked. Transfats were invented very recently and our bodies cannot handle them. Just lying sugar. Stephen they are illegal in new york, like new york city they cant have transfats. Good for new york. It was the right thing to do. Stephen isnt that antievolutionary because if we dont eat the transfat we wont know who can survive eating transfat to pass that evolutionary advantage on to our children, then we would have a superrace that can eat transfat. Fanned we can survive transfats, nothing can kill us. The only way that your experiment will work, if you ever get approval for it which doubt, is, is if eating transfats affected your ability to have offspring because all Natural Selection cares about is how many offspring. And most of the disease you get from transfats dont hit you until you are a grandparent. Stephen if we took away the things that were caution me to be sick from being old how much older could i live. Because i would like to live forever. We havent figured that one out yet but maybe scientists in White Lab Coats will do that but i think that is unlikely. Stephen would you like to live longer. Yeah, probably. Stephen how long would you like to live. I would think 92. Thats perfect, yeah. Stephen i would like that too. Now i want to live 93, to beatnr you.
