Not to mention the russian army has a great defense and also nuclear weapons. I wouldnt count villanova out yet. They have josh hart. But russian proved tenacious on the eastern front. Ill make a bold prediction and say the russian army makes it to the final four. I agree, but in tend i think the russians lose to duke or duke is tossed in a siberian labor camp. Either way, great tournament. For everybody at cbs sports, good night its the late show with Stephen Colbert tonight stephen w welcomes ewan mcgregor, finn wittrock, and musical guest the shins, featuring stay human and jon batiste. Now live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, its Stephen Colbert cheers and applause stephen whoo hey whats up . Thanks, everybody piano riff well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the late show. Im your host Stephen Colbert. I hope everyone is staying safe and warm tonight because were expecting a blizzard with up to 18 inches of snow from what the Weather Channel has dubbed winter storm stella. For the latest on the storm, lets go to the Weather Channels jim cantore. Stella stephen thanks, jim. You stay safe out there. laughter you think he would be wearing a winter coat. Surprising hes dressed that way. Quick reminder the Weather Channel has no authority to name anything. They are not part of the government. In fact, i have as much authority to name things as they do, so, because were expecting 18 inches of snow, even though it was 60 degrees last week, im calling it winter storm crazy balls. suspenseful music cheers and applause yeah, much more likely. Jon pretty crazy. Stephen speaking of crazy balls the gops Health Care Plan came out last week and, so far, its popular with everyone. Except doctors, hospitals, the insurance industry, patients, the elderly, democrats, republicans, mortals. laughter yeah. These mortals, they need so much care. cheers and applause this afternoon, the Congressional Budget Office released its official analysis of the gops healthcare bill and found 24 million americans will lose coverage under the plan. audience reacts oh, man stephen okay, okay. Keep in mind, thats 24 Million People by 2026. Without health insurance, a lot of those people wont live that long. laughter yesterday, speaker of the house and personal trainer who high fives way too hard paul ryan went on face the dickerson to get ahead of the cbo report. The one thing i am certain will happen is cbo will say, well, gosh, not as many people will get coverage. Stephen well gosh not as many people will get coverage. Gee willickers, i need chemo cheese and crackers, i cant afford to go to the doctor. Holy toledo, i shouldve identified my next of kin, because. Fiddlesticks, im dead laughter applause yeah, doesnt sound so bad when its folksy. Gosh, golly applause piano riff so, anyway, a lot of people could end up losing their healthcare. Speaking of losing it donald trump laughter as you all recall, a week ago that donald trump pinched out a couple of Early Morning tweets accusing barack obama of wiretapping trump tower before the election. Trump offered no evidence and then demanded that congress go out and find some evidence. Well, today is the deadline set by congress for Justice Department to turn over anything that might exist. So far, brace yourself, nothing laughter who could have seen this coming cheers and applause who could have predicted that . Everyone, including paul ryan. Have you seen anything to suggest there are wiretaps . No. Stephen you dont even want to think about it for a second . No. Okay, but President Trump had four tweets specifically accusing no. Stephen okay. So, that means youre going to cancel the investigation . No. Stephen do you have any idea what you should say about this . No. Okay. cheers and applause piano riff Stephen Ryans reaction isnt surprising. To believe trumps claims, youd need a shaky grasp of reality, and zero regard for the truth. Sean spicer today laughter seems like a good guy. Seems like a good guy. cheers and applause if someone had to represent me, id go with sean spicer. Jon yeah. laughter stephen today, sean spicer attempted to downplay the president s wiretap claim. The president used the word wiretap in quotes to mean broadly surveillance and other activities. Stephen sean, i think youre grasping at straws. laughter i think youre a funny bunny. I dont literally mean grasping at straws. I mean deeply troubled. laughter then sean got a little spicy. The bottom line is, the question that you still have not answered is i have answered it can you say affirmatively that, whenever the president says something, we can trust it to be real . If hes not joking, of course laughter stephen okay if hes not joking how hard is it to tell when the president is joking . the president means it unless hes joking. And its easy to tell. I mean, just look at the oath of office. Preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States so help me god. Bazinga laughter applause stephen he always throws that on the end, right . Bazinga and spicer wasnt the only member of team trump cleaning up the tweet storm. Adviser and stepmom who is trying to replace your mother, kellyanne conway, explained yesterday that just because theres no evidence that his phone was wiretapped doesnt mean trump is wrong. There was an article this week that talked about how you can surveil someone through their phones, through their certainly through their television sets, any number of different ways, and microwaves that turn into cameras. Stephen its true. Its true. laughter microwaves that turn into cameras. How do you think we film this show . Jim, show camera three. Show em what weve got over there. cheers and applause there it is. piano riff but, conways microwave heated up online, so today she explained to chris cuomo why her claims may have been a little off. Chris, im not inspector gadget. Stephen yes, okay, chris . Inspector gadget had all sorts of tools at his disposal gadget skates, gadget copter. Kellyanne conway only has one move gogo alternative facts cheers and applause piano riff then she kept talking. I dont believe people are using the microwave to spy on the trump campaign. However, i have im not in the job of having evidence. Stephen okay. Who has the evidence job . Because its certainly not paul ryan or tom price, and it would be nice to know if obama was spying on everyone through the popcorn setting on our microwaves. laughter ding oh, excuse me. My hot pockets done. cheers and applause oh, mmm, mmm mmm oh, mmm. Ahhh cheers and applause by the way, president obama, i miss you cheers and applause actually, can i come in there with you . Can i just can i just can you please can i just i just want laughter applause laughter jon nice. Stephen we need a bigger microwave. Now i want to talk about donald trump, but not the president. The one that looks like hes wet all the time, donald jr. laughter he was at gop fundraiser this weekend in texas, and he really knew how to win over the crowd, saying, you guys get it. You understand the freedoms. So many of which weve lost where i come from in the peoples republic of new york. I can say that and mean it because i see it. Dude, you live on the upper east side. The only thing you see are goldendoodles wearing rainshoes. laughter applause piano riff jon come on stephen making hissing sound laughter a lot of people have been worried about conflicts of interest because trump senior owns the trump organization. Hes turned it over to his son, and don junior assured the crowd that, since his dad took office, quote, i basically have zero contact with him, at this point. Oh. Thank you crowd says, oh. a little late but thank you. Poor don junior. It reminds me of that old song, the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon. The silver fork and the silver plate, the golden table, and the golden bed, and the golden toilet seat, yeah, daddys got a golden toilet. cheers and applause when you comin home dad, i cant tell you, son. It violates the emoluments clause, son. It violates the emoluments clause. cheers and applause weve got a great show for you tonight. Ewan mcgregor is here.

Hes a big buddy of donald trump. During the election, stone was accused of having ties to the Russian Hackers who broke into the dnc. But just last week, when asked what contact he had with russians, stone said none. Nada. Zilch. I am not in touch with any russians. Dont have a russian girlfriend, dont like russian dressing and have stopped drinking russian vodka. laughter stephen i threw out all my russian nesting dolls, i quit my russian roulette league, and i even walk really slowly so that nobody can say im rushin laughter of course, so no russian nothing russian at all of course, we all know what happens when a trump adviser denies contact with suspected Russian Hackers they later admit they had contact with suspected Russian Hackers. And this isnt just any hacker. Its the one is believed by u. S. Officials to be linked to russia and goes by the name guccifer 2. 0. And was believed to have hacked d. N. C. Emails. audience reacts yesterday, stone confirmed that he and guccifer had a private twitter conversation and released a screenshot in which guccifer told stone im pleased to say that u r great man. Please tell me if i can help u anyhow. It would be a great pleasure to me. Yeah, is there anything i can do to help . Maybe pick up your dry cleaning, or, hey, any elections you need rigged . laughter but stone had a perfectly good explanation for why he didnt mention his direct contact with one of the worlds most notorious hackers, telling the washington times, it was so perfunctory, brief and banal, i had forgotten it. laughter which is exactly the same thing my College Girlfriend said. laughter applause to clear this up, we managed to secure an exclusive interview. Please welcome live via satellite, the hacker himself, guccifer 2. 0. Thank you for joining us, mr. 2. 0. cheers and applause it is great pleasure to me, stephen. You look so much different in person than in private photos i find on your computer. Stephen lets talk about your relationship with trump adviser roger stone. Yes, i love roger i call him stoney the tiger because hes grrrrrrreat man stephen really . Because he said his contact with you was banal and perfunctory. Well, im sure perfunctory is good is funky, like american hiphop. Stephen no, he denies having any real relationship with you. Well, okay. Is not important to me either. I dm with many decaying and beautiful old men. Oh, who am i kidding . I miss him so much i may be most dangerous hacker in the world, but the stoneman breached the firewall. To my heart. laughter who knew that colluding to throw election for paranoid reality tv star could have such bad result stephen guccifer, im so sorry.
