Stephen whats going on . Jon i see you i see you stephen thank you so much, everybody. Welcome to the late show. Im your host, stephen colbert. Guess whos back . Hillary clinton. cheers and applause just this afternoon, she she emerged from the woods. Just this afternoon, she appeared here in new york at an event hosted by women for women international. And the moderator, christiane amanpour, interviewed secretary clinton and asked her about the 2016 campaign. What do you imagine your election as the first female president of the United States might have said to the world and to the women of the world who were looking for validation, for somebody to shatter that highest and hardest ceiling . Oh, i think it would have been a really big deal. And i think that um. applause stephen yeah, it would have been a big deal. laughter but if ifs and buts were clusters of nuts, donald trump wouldnt be president. Christine amanpour spoke about sexism. Youve just spoken eloquently about the sexism, the misogyny and inequity around the world, but do you believe it exists here still . And do you think laughter stephen asking Hillary Clinton if sexism exists is like asking Serena Williams if shes heard of this tennis thing. Shes aware of the situation. But the big news of the interview was that Hillary Clinton explained why she thinks she lost. But i was on the way to winning until the combination of jim comeys letter on october 28 and russian wikileaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me ask yourself this within an hour or two of the hollywood access tape being made public, the russian theft of John Podestas emails hit wikileaks. What a coincidence. So, i mean, you just cant make this stuff up. Stephen actually, you can make up whatever you want. Have you met our current president . He just hes like hes like cheers and applause hes like stephen king. But hillary may have accidentally revealed why she really lost. You know, if the election had been on october 27th, id be your president. And it wasnt. It was on october 28. Stephen no, it was on november 8th, maam. That explains everything. Well, october 29 is here and i am not president. Well, i guess ill just stop campaigning in michigan and wisconsin thats my impression of hillary, by the way. I would have worked on it more if i knew she was going to be back. laughter but at the end of the day, Hillary Clinton knows it wasnt comey or putin or ken bone remember that guy . She knows whos actually to blame for her loss. I take absolute personal responsibility. I was the candidate. I was the person who was on the ballot, and i am very aware of, you know, the challenges, the problems, the, you know, the shortfalls that we had. Stephen so she made mistakes, publicly recognized them, and owned up to her shortcomings. No wonder she lost. Thats totally unpresident ial. But ill say this, the president ial campaign was so brutal remember, long, brutal . One of the nice things about having trump in office is knowing that its all behind us. The countdown to 2020 is already on. Today, President Trump out with his First Campaign ad, the earliest one that has ever aired in a first term. laughter applause cheers and applause laughter stephen kill me. laughter now, listen, this is very important. I have a message for our president no new elections until you finish your wars. laughter now keep in mind, this is really a campaign ad. When i first saw this, i said, you have to be kidding. It was an Actual Campaign ad put out by donald j. Trump for president. Lets take a look. Donald trump, sworn in as president 100 days ago. Stephen okay, quick fact check on the first sentence. The ad came out yesterday, which means trump was sworn in to office 102 days ago. Or as trump would put it my first 100 days had more days than any other president. laughter we packed them in. Extra, okay . We sprinkled a few on top. Thats comp. Were comping those last two days. laughter they did manage to fit all of trumps accomplishments into the 15 seconds. A respected Supreme Court justice confirmed. Companies investing in american jobs again. America becoming more energy independent. Regulations that kill American American jobs eliminated. The biggest tax cut plan in history. Stephen see what he did there . They didnt say it was the biggest tax cut in history. They said it was the biggest tax plan cut in history. Anyone can do that watch i plan to cut everybodys taxes to 0 . There, now i, stephen colbert, have the biggest tax cut plan in history. Youre welcome, theoretically. laughter still, donald trump seems to think donald trump has done a lot. So why havent i heard a lot about it . You wouldnt know it from watching the news. Stephen oh, yeah, you wouldnt know it from the fake news like the New York Times and the boston globe, which only get quoted in leftwing propaganda like this commercial. laughter okay, were almost done. Brace yourself. Bring it home, trump ad. America is winning, and President Trump is making America Great again. Im donald trump, and i approve this message. Stephen wow. Could we see that heroic final pose . Could we see that again, jim . Wow, not only is he president. I think hes turning into he man. By the power of numbskull cheers and applause well, he is the president of the United States, god bless him. And President Trump had an official call with putin today. I hear the call was tense, but lets face it. Thats how performance reviews usually go. laughter according to reports, according to reports, the two discussed the prospect of coordinating russian and u. S. Action. Oh, i think youve been coordinating for a while. According to the kremlin, when discussing north korea, the president of russia called for restraint and an easing of tensions. You know things are bad when putin is the voice of restraint. Eh, donald make you could cool it with the tweets. It comes off as a little crazy. applause meanwhile here in america, the putin fans. A lot of putin fans here tonight. laughter meanwhile here in america, the republicans in congress are attempting to repeal and replace obamacare again, but even though theyve made another big push, theyre on the verge of losing the health care vote. Again . Its like losing this vote is some kind of preexisting condition with these guys. laughter moderate republicans are not voting for trumpcare because while it technically covers pre existing conditions, it also allows states to apply for waivers that could greatly change the cost and quality of that coverage. So if youve got a preexisting condition, you can technically get health care. You just might not be able to afford it. Like how i can technically hire Bruce Springsteen to play my birthday party, but i can only afford brice stringstone. laughter i love him. I love it when he plays thunder load. laughter but yesterday, alabama representative mo brooks explained that trumpcare is just making insurance fairer. My understanding is that it will allow Insurance Companies to require people who have Higher Health care costs to contribute more to the insurance pool that helps offset all these costs, thereby reducing the cost to those people who lead good lives. Theyre healthy. You know, they have done the things to keep their bodies healthy. And right now those are the people who have done things the right way that are seeing their costs skyrocketing. Stephen so hes saying good people are healthy and bad people get sick. Well, thats why brooks is going to put this on his tombstone i had it coming. Youre not alive. You must have done something. What did you do . What did you do . Something. And trumps not just trying to undo obamacare. Hes also trying to undo obamalunch, because his administration is rolling back Michelle Obamas push for healthier school lunches. Audience boo stephen you could tell this was going to happen when they replaced her white house vegetable garden with a nacho bar. That looked good. You guys remember last month when trump ordered a missile strike on a Syrian Air Base . It was the most violent assault on a runway not ordered by united airlines. applause it all it all friendly skies. It all went down while trump was dining at maralago with the president of china enjoying what trump described as the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that youve ever seen. Which is why the missions code name was operation dessert storm. laughter could be a misspelling. Could be a misspelling. applause well, we just got new details from commerce secretary and jeff dunham puppet gone rogue, wilbur ross. laughter secretary ross was speaking at a conference yesterday and joked that the airstrike was in lieu of afterdinner entertainment. Really . What was the planned after dinner entertainment . Busboys fighting in the thunderdome . Steve bannon unhinging his jaw and swallowing Reince Priebus feet first . And ross continued his White Collar Comedy tour, saying, the thing was, it didnt cost the president anything to have that entertainment. Now, technically, yes, the missile strike was 82 million. But remember, thats funded by taxpayers. So, yeah, it didnt cost donald trump a dime. Or did it . Well never know. Oh, what else . Trump wants to be able to sue the press. He wants to be able to take lawsuits out against people who say things about him. In march, trump tweeted, the of course, trump himself would never engage in libel. Just ask crooked hillary or lyin ted. Theres only one problem with changing the libel laws as Jonathon Karl pointed out to Reince Priebus on last weeks this week. Change the libel laws. That would require, as i understand it, a constitutional amendment. Is he really going to pursue that . Is that something he wants to pursue . I think its something that weve looked at. Stephen they want to get rid of the First Amendment . Stop the presses seriously, stop the presses. And i can confirm that the administration is looking into change the First Amendment because i have trumps rewritten version of the constitution right here cheers and applause slow that down. Slow that down a little. Oh, trump also has an interesting take on the third amendment here. applause and this surprised me. This next one surprise me a lot. Trump wants to change the Second Amendment to we have a great show for you tonight. Amy schumer is here. Stick around. cheers and applause unlimited data on tmobile, now thats a treat. Why did verizon take so long to offer it . Is it because their lte network was built six years ago . Six years ago . Thats like a hundred in phone years. Tmobile built newer, faster, more advanced lte to handle unlimited data. Switch to tmobile, now covering 314 million americans and growing. And right now, get 2 lines of unlimited data for a hundred bucks, all in taxes and fees included. And that doesnt happen every by accident it takes 15 years to become a heineken brewmaster. Almost as long as it took me to master this look. Still practicing. It takes 15 years to become a heineken brewmaster. Theres more behind the star. This clean was like pow everything well . My teeth are glowing. They are so white. Step 1 cleans. Step 2 whitens. Crest [hd]. 6x cleaning , 6x whitening a i would switch to crest [hd] over what i was using before. So if you have a sink, and the ship is sinking, is it a sinking sink . Scrubbing bubbles toilet gel, freshens and cleans with every flush.

What made you want to write this memoir . I dont think it didnt start out as a memoir. I started writing about things that, like, bothered me, and i realized that the first sentence of the chapter about something that bothered me felt horrible, but the last sentence felt really amazing. And so, like, i realized that i was get something, like, therapeutic work out of writing. And so i just kept doing it. And the weird okay, it sounds like its super serious. But, actually, you guys its funny. Its really funny, too. Its really, really good. And i feel really cathartic and there was some stuff i had to, like, get out. Stephen one of the things youve gone through, worked through writing the book think other people will read and say, ive experienced that . That helps me work through just by reading that.
