But , but of course the highlight is that i lined up one of my favorite 90s alternative bands, the president of the United States of america to play their hit song peaches. Unfortunately, there was a bit of a mixup and i did not book the band. I booked the actual president of the United States of america, barack obama is going to be my guest. cheers and applause stephen oh yeah. Nation, i cannot overstate how huge this is. The size of the hugeness, large. I am so honored to be sitting down with the man who sat down with bill oreilly. So nation, mark your calendars. Monday december 8th at George Washington university, tickets are already sold out. So reserve a seat in your living room now. Nation, folks, i come to you tonight from a city gripped by fear. Because for the past 24 hours new york has been engulfed in a hell storm of peaceful protests. Demonstrators have taken to the streets halting new york traffic to a level that can only be described as new york traffic. And its all because yesterday a Staten Island grand jury chose not to indict an nypd officer who killed eric garner, an unarmed black man. And i have to admit it is shocking that anyone in manhattan has shown awareness of Staten Island. Folks, folks, these protestors arent just after the nypd. They also targeted another institution. Protests broke out, blocks away from Rockefeller Center last night where thousands had gathered for the annual Tree Lighting christmas ceremony. Theyre now chanting shut it down, shut it down, eric garner, Michael Brown they tried to shut down the Rockefeller ChristmasTree Lighting. Thank god it wasnt the men ors or men owe menorah or this protest would have gone on for eight more nights. Look, folks, i people are angry but this not the time for activists to turn midtown sidewalks into a congested war zone. This is the time for tourists to do that. And nation cheers and applause i know new york looks to me for leadership so im calling for calm. Now sure, you could view yet another nonindictment of a white police for the death of an unarmed brack man as part of a larger troubling trend. Or you could be fox news. The officer is white. The victim was black. As you might expect, this incident is already, already drawing comparisons to the shooting death of Michael Brown in ferguson, missouri. There is a tendency that examples create the trend. Statistics dont say there is a pattern. This is to the about race discrimination and i dont think it should be lumped together with any other trends that are going on. Well said. This is not were all yes, i agree with you. I am angry at the idea this is a trend. It is not a trend it is just a series of incidents that share common characteristics. For this to it be an observation trend, taylor swift would have to kill somebody and taytay dont play that way. Of course long time viewers of the last few minutes will know that i broke the story about racial tension in america. At least i assume i did. Like you, i get all my news from the colbert report. cheers and applause please dont leave. But we werent the only ones watching me because this week president obama tried his best to address is the issue. The white house is proposing a series of Law Enforcement reforms in response to the unrest in ferguson, missouri. President obama is asking for 263 Million Dollars over three years for additional training of Police Officers and other resources. Im going to be proposing new Community Policing i nes difficults that will significantly spend funding and training for local Law Enforcement, including up to 50,000 additional bodyworn cameras for Law Enforcement agencies. Stephen oh, great timing, obama. You should have announced it on black friday when those body cameras were 2 for 1 at kohls before 6 a. M. Talk about tax and spend. I dont understand these democrats. Now unfortunately, this idea of putting the cameras on the cops has some support from confused conservatives. The cameras protect honest cops as well as discourage police abuse. I have changed my mind on body cameras. At one time i thought they were a mistake. Now i believe they are a very good idea. I am not surprised giuliani changed his mind. He is in favor of being anywhere near a camera. And the whole thing the whole thing is based on a faulty premise. As one California Police cleave put it when you know youre being watched, you behave a little better. That is just human nature. Oh, yeah, that is why those real housewifes are so well behaved. Folks i got to tell you, it doesnt make any sense, this theory is clearly bull hockey. And i will prove it right now. Jimmy, turn off my cameras. Great, okay. Camera off. Ill prove my behavior is unchanged. Excuse me, im sorry, little cough. I can get some water please, thank you. I can get some water. Here you go, stephen. What is this, tap water . What the hell is this . Ow read your contract. I take my water at 54 degrees, twist of lime, no eye contact. No, not the sword. Taste my blade, you cur cheers and applause oh, hi, hi, its just how tragic. Another senseless suicide. Too bad theres no footage. Man, i am still i can get some water . Well be right back. Come on where is it the Volkswagen Golf was just named motor trends 2015 car of the year. So was the 100 electric egolf, and the 45 highway mpg tdi clean diesel. And last but not least, the High Performance gti. Looks like were gonna need a bigger podium. The Volkswagen Golf family. Motor trends 2015 cars of the year. Fini did, thanks. K . beep beep beep confused honey, you wont believe. You were supposed to be out shopping. It went super quick. Happy birthday . with apple pay, using your wells fargo card just got easier. Tell her your love is never ending with an unstoppable love diamond. At zales, the diamond store. Stephen welcome back, everybody, thank you so much. Thank you so much, everybody. Its good to you have here. Ladies and gentlemen, you know i love our nations ambassadors. What i can say, im a bit of an ambassman, that is why i have been following the Senate Confirmation of u. S. Ambassador to hungary. The president s nominee got a lot of attention for being a bold choice and also a beautiful one. A soap opera producer just became the u. S. Ambassador to the country of hungary. Shes the producer of the tv show the bold and the 3wu68 yes, colleen bell, a former of the bold and the beautiful producer is now the ambassador to hungary. And one assumes its evil twin, sergio. And sure, colleen bell has no experience with Foreign Service or special knowledge about the nation hungary. But folks, she was nominated for the most noble of all reasons, she contributed 800,000 to obama in the last election and bundled more than 2. 1 million for president obamas reelection effort. Hey, folks, that is just quid pro quo. You scratch the president s back, he appoints you ambassador of scratchbackastan. But the confirmation took a shocking twist when long time friend of this show since monday, john mccain, ripped bell on the floor of the senate. There is no it doubt that since taking office in 2010, the Hungarian Prime Minister mr. Vict or orban has centralized power. Mr. Orban is cozying up to vladimir putin. I am not against political appointees. I am not against i understand how the game is playedment but here we are, a nation that is on the verge of creeding its sovereignty to a dictator getting in bed to putin and were going to send the producer of the bold and the beautiful. Stephen well, without dow want, john . Without do you want, someone from the young and the restless . They would be too inexperienced, then get bored and quit. Folks, john mccain is dead wrong here. I have deep roots in hungary. I have a bridge named after me there. And the Hungarian Ambassador himself made me an honorary citizen. My only qualification, i am on tv. Right there. S theres your proof. And folks, the bold and the beautiful is perfect training to be an ambassador. Hungary is a region rife with drama and the constant threatofviolence. Exactly the situation of Forrester Family routinely handled from their pallacious estate while simultaneously running their fashion empire. And i am confident if colleen bell was able to handle the onagain, offagain paerj between sallies daughter and thorn forrester whom she eventually lost to brook only to reunit with him before falling in love with recovering alcoholic deacon sharp, of course that was before she fell into a coma and her family pulled the plug, then yeah, i think colleen bell can handle a shirtless guy on a pony. cheers and applause the point is, come on, come on. Amateur hour. The point is, i fully support colleen bells appointment. To be the ambassador stephen, wait. Dr. Delvecchio, what are you doing here . You cant let colleen bell be ambassador to hungary. Shes not qualified. And i should know, im her lesbian lover. laughter stephen but but doctor, youre not a woman. Maybe. Or maybe hi a sexual reassignment surgery to become a middleaged italian man. Stephen but, but that would mean im carrying your baby. laughter stephen why does that make colleen bell unqualified . Oerx, ill tell you. After this message from after this message from calgon get to the terminal across town. Are all the green lights you . No. Its called grid iq. The 4 51 is leaving at 4 51.

Welcome back, everybody, my guest tonight helped found medical charity. Please welcome dr. Paul farmer. Hey, dr. Farmer, thank you sop much for coming on. Thank you, thank you so much for being here, dr. It paul farmer. You are the cofounder of partners in health, a nonprofit that provides health care to the poor all over the world. Started in the 1980s in haiti. The group is now combatting aids in rwanda, tuberculosis in peru, ebola in west africa and you have been in west africa recently . Yes. laughter stephen im going iting to want to you take your temperature there, just that it, before you leaf, just get that in your butt. Okay, i do. Stephen i do it to all my guests, not just you. Again, my apologies to doris concerns goodwin. Kerns goodwin. Now okay, why do you provide health care to the poor all around the world . Why do that . Tell me on sell me on helping people. Well, you know, its very gratifying work. Its very satisfying. First of all. Stephen a lot of coin in that . A lot of money in that . Well there are other rewards. Well, you have the reward of seeing seeing how effective medicine can be if Public Health. Stephen okay. And you get to use your coin metaphor, you get more bang for the buck, actually, when you turn your attention to people whose lives are damaged by poverty, and illness because you will see they will respond well to interventions that are easily available to us. Its very satisfying. Stephen you also have a book called infection and inequalities. What dow mean about infections and inequality. Infections i understand. Thats medicine stuff. But inequality, inequality sounds like politics. That sounds inequality sounds like economic inequality, socialism, how are they related to each other . Well, i am referring to economic inequality. It has everything to do with medicine. Stephen what are you talking about, you cant get sick from being poor. You know, social disparities ranging from racism degenerative qualities do make people sick. They make people sick directly. But they probably make our society sick as well. Stephen is being poor contagious . Well, in a sense it is contagious. For example, if you do studies of obesity in an american city, and you will see that there is a social spread of certainly i am reluctant to call them poor habits because people end up living in places that it dont have good and healthy food. Or dont have safe environments. So in that sense, it is contagious. Stephen whats the prescription for poverty . Well, the prescription for poverty includes transfer of resources. Like you know, one of their most successful areas of development is i mean its caused by a hokey name. A cash transfer, conditional or. Stephen thats not a hokey name, that is a terrifying name. Because ive got a lot of cash and you want my cash to go to somebody else . Well, again, youll have a big return on that investment. Because if you. Stephen i got a big return on it right now, my friend. Called wall street. Well, compared to some other investment on wall street or off of it, investing resources in really poor families, in poor communities, leads to pretty rapid improvement. And i think theres the idea. Stephen how does that help me. I give money i give my money, it goes to some poor guy, you know, where, where are you working . Give me a mace. Lie per ya, sierra leone. Stephen my money owes over there, how is that helping me . How is that scratching my back . There is a lot of evidence to suggest that the world will be safer and more prosperous if there are not these kind of inequalities, if we can address them. cheers and applause stephen how many people cheers and applause how many people have partners in health helped worldwide so far. Cum latifly . Swz yeah. Many, many millions, i imagine. Even tens of millions and workinging in partnership with Public Health authorities, for example, in rwanda. To use that example am weve been lucky enough to reach, you know, significant components of the population. The massive reversals in misfortune that rwanda knew only 15 years ago so rwanda, for example, is a country with a pretty good healthcare system. And although you couldnt you might not have a heart transplant there or have, you know, choose to have your malignancy treated there, if you are sick and or in a village, you can count on that system reaching you. And thats one of the reasons why reduction in early mortality has been more steeped in rwanda than anywhere else in the world. cheers and applause stephen how long you have been doing this work . 30 plus years. Stephen and do you go yourself to some of these places around the world . I do. Stephen rough places, what are some of the most dangerous places youve been . Is. Well, ive been in very places that are unstable. And so. Stephen the house of representatives . I was there yesterday. Stephen were you really . Yeah rz you got. Stephen you got out alive. I did. And they didnt get ebola. So i was there yesterday. cheers and applause stephen dow ever okay, i understand, you know, i understand like you know caring for people and i, this is exactly the kind of work i would do. But do you, do you have like ever empathy overload am dow ever say to yourself if ivax nature one more kid today, do you ever get tired of this. You want to pack it in . Why isnt there a Health Crisis in st. Barts . Well, you know, certainly, i mean, i think one does get taxed. And you do reach the limits. That is the whole point of working in partnership and with a team. Because theres always someone on your team who is not tired or overworked, you know, there is a big enough team that is the other great thing about teaching is you bring in vital people every year into this work it is a great way to avoid burnout. How is the organization the same. A lot of partners in Health Support comes from private donors, individuals, most of it is that. Stephen if somebody wanted to donate partners in health, where would they go . Www. Pih. Org. Stephen all right, there is a good chance there is a good chance theres a good chance thats on the bottom of the screen right now. Dr. Paul farmer, thank you so much for being here. Thank you.
