President held a joint News Conference with german has an cooler merkel is the white house, he refused to back down from claims brit spy agency minored him. He alluded to 13 reports the Obama Administration listened in on merkels phone call all we did was quote a certain very talented legal mind who was the one responsible for saying that on television. As far as wire tapping, i guess, by, you know, this past administration, at least we have something in common, perhaps.

Nicole brewer is here now with some things you probably didnt know about this day. Thats right. Its not surprising of course that pennsylvania is one of the top states for celebrating but which traditions are top and how far back do these festivities go . These are a few of the questions we answered in honor of the irish. Street music and step dancing to oldfashioned celebrating when it comes to st. Patricks day in philly we fly our irish flag proudly the city gets together, everybody rallies. According to a new report pennsylvania is one of the best places to do it pennsylvania. For fun the study looked at Google Search data irish population and participation found pennsylvania was second to rhode island followed by new york connecticut and nebraska history that predates americas founding. Local historian who specializes in the irish experience in philly says it was 1771 when a group of irish citizens presented Benjamin Franklin with this invitation to celebrate at city tavern they started a dinner and started the st. Patricks day parade and celebration in the United States most of us honor the saint by wearing green, 54 according to the survey and some more enthusiastically than oshas. More of that pot of gold will be spent on grub and green beer. You cant drink on an empty stomac stomach. Now we mentioned the large irish population here in philly accounting. The historian said by the 1850s tens of thousands of irish immigrants fled the great famon and settled here in pennsylvania because there were so many labor jobs, many ended up here in philly and cut to today, we have a very rich irish history. Many of them im sure partying, so to speak. How about that suit . That was special.

Lesley van arsdale has more from buffalo we all know Chris Jenkins was the 1 who who hit the shot. He seems to be struggling dont tell him that. Villanova beat mount st. Mary 76 to 56. The defend to go National Champs only up by one in the half. Kris jenkins missed first ten shots. Shots falls sometimes, sometimes they dont, but we play defense every rebound. We i tell him keep shooting. You know, with him, thats what, hes a shooter. Thats what he is. Thats, you know, youre not going to tell him dont shoot this one. Dont shoot. You know, you tell him dont throw the ball i know a conventional basketball person would say, two for 13 had some other games like that. Our program, were he we would be more conventionaled about a guy that was afraid to take a shot than we would a guy that keeps firing. We love it lets hope chris can find his shot tomorrow against wisconsin. Reporting in buffalo, lesley van arsdale. Eyewitness sports. Thank you. Sixers hosting the mavs. That means nerlens noel make his return to philly after being traded. They did a little Video Tribute for him and proceeded to greet him with a barrage of buckets.

Its friday, weve made it to the westbound. It will still be below average as we head to saturday and sunday with highs in the middle 40s, not nearly as frigid.

I made this lawn from seed pride, and less water than youd think. To those whod say the grass is greener on the other side. I politely disagree. Pennington smart seed. Guaranteed to grow with 30 less water. Reclaim your turf. Morning team back at 5 00 a. M. Im ukee washington, im jessica dean, the late show with steven captioning sponsored by cbs whoo sweden whoo sweden we stand together announcer its the late show with Stephen Colbert tonight, stephen welcomes uma thurman jason jones and musical guest alison krauss. Featuring jon batiste and stay human. And now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, its Stephen Colbert cheers and applause stephen hey how are you hey whoo nice thank you very much cheers and applause welcome to the late show, everybody. So glad youre here. I am your host, Stephen Colbert. Happy cheers and applause piano riff happy president s day. Happy president s day. Hope you enjoyed your day off. Jon, did you enjoy your day off . Jon yes, yes. Stephen i enjoyed my day off, too. Yep. We didnt work at all. Just making all this stuff up right now. Just made it all up. Jon yep, its a dream. Stephen now, this afternoon, a lot of people spent their day off at not my president rallies. To which i just want to say, sorry, but, yeah, your president. Deal with it. Okay . laughter George Washington was not more president than donald trump, okay . Abraham lincoln, exactly the same amount of commanderin chief as donald trump. So, no marching off to your fantasy world do not leave me alone with this guy. laughter all right . Stay here enough with the signs, like tinkle, tinkle, little czar, putin put you where you are. Thats actually pretty good. laughter thats actually i take it all back. That was really good. Yeah. Jon mmhmm. Mmhmm. Stephen so lets see what your president s been doing. Friday, trump went after the media with a bold accusation, the Fake News Media failing nytimes, nbcnews, abc, cbs, cnn is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People audience booing you know who i feel bad for . Isis. Jon yeah, yeah. Stephen they try so hard. Sorry, isis, if you want to get on the list, youve got to publish photos of trumps inauguration crowd. Then hell be really, really angry at you. cheers and applause so sad. Yeah. Hidden victims. Well, calling the press the enemy of the people isnt sitting well with senator john mccain. If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press. And without it, i am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. Thats how dictators get started. Stephen okay, now, just to be clear hes not saying trumps a dictator. Hes saying getting rid of the free press is how dictators get started. Okay, hes not calling him a full dictator. Hes more bitesized, okay . Hes a dictatortot. laughter applause just a little. Now, you may remember i could go for some. I could go crunchy . Jon oh, man. Stephen you may remember, last week, National Security adviser Michael Flynn stepped down because he definitely did not break the law. You know how youre fired for doing the right thing all the time. laughter and, ever since he stepped down, trump has been searching for someone to replace him. Given how much cable news trump watches, my money was on National Security adviser travelocity gnome. laughter and for a while, trump was courting retired vice admiral bob harward, who turned the offer down because, according to friends, harward thought that the chaos in the white house made the offer a real bleep sandwich. laughter by the way by the way, trump tower serves a mean bleep sandwich. laughter not to be confused with the taco bowl, though it is really hard to tell the difference sometimes. applause because, in that photo laughter and applause can we put that back up . Can we put the photo back up . Trump really does have a taco eating grin. Well, today, trump finally made his choice Lieutenant General and man gravely thrilled, h. R. Mcmaster. He chose mcmaster, i assume, because he had the strongest sounding name. Is general thrust mcpowerhouse not available . Then lets go with mcmaster instead. This afternoon, the president introduced mcmaster from the official command couch. Id like to ask h. R. To say a couple of words. Stephen im sure this isnt the first time that h. R. Has had a couple of words for donald trump. And mcmaster graciously accepted the post. I look forward to joining the National Security team and doing everything i can to advance and protect the interests of the American People. Stephen i swear to do everything in my power to protect the nation from americas enemies. Which im being told are cbs and the failing new york times. wow. Things have changed since i was in the army, five minutes ago. laughter now, you might have noticed that trump named mcmaster at his mar alago resort or, as hes calling it now, the southern white house. audience reacts its the southern white house now because, wherever the president goes, that is the white house. Oooh, i just got back from the burger white house. laughter i gotta go hit the porcelain white house, ill be right back. laughter and applause and trumps weekend jaunts to maralago are not cheap. Combined with other trips his family takes, hes already cost taxpayers 11. 3 million in one month. audience reacts to put that into perspective, president obamas travel expenses averaged 12. 1 million each year. Of course, it helps that obamas winter white house was the white house. And one of the biggest expenses for taxpayers are the trump organizations business trips. In january, eric trump took a trip to uruguay that cost taxpayers 97,000 in hotel bills. Now, it was 10,000 for the secret service, and 87,000 for a bottle of voss water from the mini bar. Eric was in uruguay to promote the stillunderconstruction trump tower, punta del este, which i believe translates to the prostitute of the east. laughter sounds lovely. applause the punta. The punta del este. And its not slowing down. Later this month, well also be subsidizing eric and donald jr. s trip to attend the grand opening of the new Trump International hotel and tower in vancouver, and it is never a good sign when even the president s sons are looking at real estate in canada. laughter now, while laughter and applause canada cheers and applause we love canada. Huge canada fans. And while trump was down there at maralago, this weekend, trump held a Campaign Rally in a florida airport and over 9,000 people showed up. Its the biggest crowd trumps drawn to an airport without detaining anyone. laughter the point of Donald Trumps rally was to show he was man of the people, and to prove it, he had a real life person join him on stage. I just saw him on television. He said, i love trump let trump do what he has to do. Thats my guy right there. Come on up here. Come on up. This guy was great. Hop over the fence. applause laughter and applause cheers and applause stephen yes. Nothing screams strong borders and extreme vetting like hop over the fence. Come on bring that broken bottle with you come on get up here applause and trump had some sobering news about a recent attack on one of our allies. You look at whats happening in germany, you look at whats happening last night in sweden. Sweden who would believe this . Sweden stephen no one. No one would believe that. cheers and applause piano riff well, not no one, but maybe someone who skips their intelligence briefings. Because it turns out, on friday night, no incident occurred in sweden. Which is actually Headline News there. Nothing happens, again. laughter applause its very quiet, very safe. No one was more baffled by trumps supposed swedish incident than the swedes. Their former prime minister, carl bildt, tweeted, sweden . Terror attack . What has he been smoking . cheers and applause what has he been smoking . Ah, Vladimir Putins bleep . cheers and applause piano riff laughter cheers and applause piano riff its all done with love. But lets be real here. This is the president of the United States. He has access to every and the latest intel at all times. Sir, for real, where did you get your information from . My statement as to whats happening in sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on fox news concerning immigrants and sweden. Oh, i guess trump only accepts intelligence reports with the logo as seen on tv. laughter now, heres the truth the segment trump saw on fox news linked an increase in Swedish Crime to immigrants and refugees, when, in fact, although theyve taken in thousands of immigrants, swedens crime rate has fallen since 2005. In fact, experts say 90 of Swedish Crime actually occurs in the girl with the dragon tattoo. laughter thats it. Clearly. cheers and applause have you read that . Jon yes, ive heard of it. Stephen i heard its pretty good. Clearly, trump believes everything he sees on tv is real. Which would explain his next tweet america is a disaster our girls are broke our dead are walking the popes too young its a scandal shameless laughter and applause its all true. All true. Hes right. Weve got to do something about all that. piano riff applause tragically, sweden is the third notaterrorist attack that has not shocked the world in the last month. First, there wasnt the Bowling Green massacre. Then, no one was lost in atlanta. And now, its not swedens turn. When will it begin . And just because this attack didnt happen, folks, doesnt mean we dont stand in solidarity with all the people who did not suffer. laughter and we pay tribute to all of them, now. laughter and applause laughter and applause stephen weve got a great show for you tonight uma thurman is here jason jones is here and when we return, i have a warning for parents out there that you are simply not scared enough stick around cheers and applause startisave on great brands for a healthy home and get kohls cash.

Good to see ya cheers and applause jon . Jon yeah stephen welcome back jon yeah stephen welcome back to new york jon yeah cheers and applause stephen my understanding this fella cheers and applause if you guys didnt know it, this fellow was down in new orleans this weekend. Jon thats right. cheers and applause stephen tell the people what you were doing, my friend. I played the National Anthem at the n. B. A. Allstar game. Stephen fantastic. Beautiful. Beautiful. Jon thank you. cheers and applause stephen well, you know, i like to interest myself americas dad that i know of. laughter and applause and as a parent, i know having kids means a lot of worry. Are they getting good grades . Are they hanging with the wrong crowd . Or worse, are they hanging with the right crowd . Nerds. But my biggest worry is, am i worrying enough . Well, thank god for local news. They always uncover the latest teen trends to soil your dad jeans. And some of them might even be happening. Tonights parental scare story comes from fox q13, seattles teen news leader, who has found out that our kids may be texting each other. In code. To young people, emojis can mean different things, and some cyber experts say kids are starting to use some as a secret code that we, as parents, cant necessarily figure out. Stephen yes, children are deceiving us parents with codes. That makes me lol. Linger over lies. laughter and this is some sinister stuff. A fox . You think thats a simple enough thing, a fox, right, but that can be a message to someone that you want to sneak out, sneak out of the house. A skull, arrow and a flame, that can be saying to someone i hope you die in a fire. laughter stephen so true. So true. These kids these days, theyre so clever. laughter in the old days, we had to say that in a greeting card like this one happy sweet 16. I hope you die in a fire. laughter applause and that thats not the only hurtful message that kids are emojiing. This is a scary one. You always talk about well, im not going to give it away. What do you think . We got two eyeballs here. Im watching you yes, thats one of them. Again, these have a lot of different meanings. So this could mean im watching you. But were always worried about sexting this can also mean send me naked pictures of you. Oh, my gosh. Stephen yes, yes, so true. It could also mean eye want to see you, eye want you to come over my house, or eye think this entire news story is bull bleep . laughter any one of those. cheers and applause laughter and folks, it only gets worse from there. Some of these are so simple. Yeah a flower. A flower. You think thats just a flower, right . It means you want to bring your mother flowers. Wouldnt that be nice . Yeah it can also mean drugs. Stephen there it is. Its that simple. Flowers means drugs. Take that, georgia okeefe no drugs just say no, kids you see this drug . Dont touch it. laughter but i dont thats a drug. I dont think this report goes far enough. I can imagine so many more emoji codes that kids could be using. For instance, we all know the eggplant emoji means penis. laughter but what about corn penis . Burrito penis . And, i wish you a merry penis. laughter next, my heart the heart eyes emoji looks innocent enough. Some people think it means i love you. But remember, these have a lot of different meanings, so it may also mean lets have premarital sex in a graveyard. laughter dancing woman is usually understood as someone having fun or celebrating, but when kids send the dancing woman, theyre actually saying, lets kill my grandma, then dance on her grave. laughter and of course, angry cat means, donald trump grabbed me. cheers and applause and cheers and applause and parents, if thats not terrifying enough, teens may be combining emojis to send messages. For example, waving hand, dress, eggplant, movie ticket, moon, lamp, means i would like to touch you over the clothes in an 8 00 p. M. Showing of the oscar nominated movie moonlight. laughter and how about this one . Family, peach, santa, snowflake, stack of dollars. Seems like a nice christmas message, but it translates into, my uncle pete is a mall santa, and he will sell us cocaine for cheap. laughter that happened, that happened to a friend of mine. That happened to a son of a friend of mine i know. Heres another disturbing one plate, fork, and knife, smiley face with money coming out of mouth, skull. Translates to i thought money was food so i ate it, and now im dead. laughter and if your teen sends the emojis, church, sleepy face, fire, it means im bored in church so im going to commit arson. laughter and thats just emojis. Theres a whole other group of symbols teens are using to send messages. These can be combined to mean anything. laughter so, please, stay scared. Well be right back. cheers and applause [car[clicking of ignition]rt] uh wha woof eeh woof wuh [silence] [engine roars to life] [dog howls] dramatic opera music swells from radio [howling continues] this clean was like pow everything well .

Aw stephen well, were so happy to have you here thank you stephen now, im a big fan of yours, and i just have to ask you one question here, before we get started. Yes . Stephen because im also a huge fan of lord of the rings, which is no secret. I found out right before the show is this true that you turned down the opportunity to play eowyn in the lord of the rings . Ah, yes. Stephen i would have played eowyn in lord of the rings. I know. You would have been very good. Stephen but, why . Why . No, actually, it was a very long time ago and i do consider it its one of the worst decisions ever made, but i had just had my first child, and i just i dont know, i was a little housebound. Stephen you didnt want to drag your child to new zealand for three years . Yeah, i think i was a little bit that was a little unknown for me. But it is really, definitely a regret. Stephen now, that would have been you know what . That would have been before you did kill bill. Yes, thats right. Stephen totally different swordplay, though. laughter totally different swordplay. Now, i understand that your dad, robert thurman, right . Yeah. Stephen was a famous buddhist. Actually was one of the is still. Hes still with us. Stephen okay, still with us. Still a buddhist. Its working for him. Stephen was the First AmericanTibetan Buddhist priest . Monk, yes. Stephen what does a Tibetan Buddhist monk do . What do they do . Well, they learn tibetan, and they make vows, which he broke. You know, monastic vows. Stephen like vows of celibacy . Of course. Stephen hence, uma thurman is here. Yes. cheers and applause stephen glad he did it. Im glad he broke the vows. Did he what was it like growing up with a dad who was a Tibetan Buddhist . Was it like, clean your room. I dont care, life is suffering. Yes, and then you had to transcend that. Stephen you had to transcend the suffering to clean your room . Yes, yes. Stephen did you speak tibetan . No, i dont. He did he does. Yes, and sanskrit. Stephen he didnt make you learn anything at all, like your abcs or 123s . speaking tibetan stephen i trust you. I trust you. Actually, there was one tibetan doctor who used to stay with us all the time, and he was a vicious backgammon player, and so i learned to count to six very well, which ive forgot, because he was cheating all the time. Stephen ive never heard vicious and buddhist in the same sentence. A vicious buddhist backgammon player. Stephen now, you are quite famously, one of tarantinos great muses, and kill bill volumes one and two are an incredible series of movies. Thank you. cheers and applause stephen right now how old are your kids . Can i ask, how old are your kids . I have three. I have an 18yearold and a 15 yearold, and a four and a half and threequarters, she calls herself. laughter stephen thats important. At what age did you allow your kids to watch kill bill . Um. I waited as long as possible. Stephen okay. Um, but i think it was, like, maybe four years ago. Stephen yeah . Yeah. Stephen were they, like, mom, youre bad ass, or, mom, were worried about you . Someone asked me about that. My son was like, it hurt when they shot my mother in the chest and nailed her in the coffin. I guess its good that i waited as long as possible. laughter stephen yeah, sure, yeah. I tried to keep my kids from watching my old show for as long as i could. Really . Stephen i did, yeah. I used my own name and there i am saying things i didnt mean with a straight face, and i didnt want them to see me as, like, purely ironic, you know . So i would be putting them in bed and go, like, i love you, and they go, i get it, dad. laughter so i understand wanting to keep your kids away from your work. Yeah, well, its nice just to be the parent at home. Stephen im jealous of actors. I dabbled with acting when i was young. But im jealous of real actors and movie stars who, you get so intensively involved, like so immersed in the project youre working on. Like, do you still have sword skills . Like, if 88 maniacs attacked us right now, how many could you take out to protect me . I probably could do a better job than most people in the room. First of all, i know exactly where the exits are. laughs stephen what kind of training do you have to do for like . Back then . Stephen sword training, yeah. Back then, it was months and months and months of training. Stephen really . Yeah, it was good for me though. It was really good for me. I was a bit of a klutz. They tuned me up a little bit. Stephen really . Yeah. Stephen you do not seem like a klutz. I was always very klutzy, they tuned me up. The best thing for you is to learn new things all the time. Stephen is that the favorite thing you learned in the immersive world of being a movie star, or did something stick with you thats more enjoyable than that . More enjoyable than pretending to kill people . Stephen yeah. laughter well. Stephen hard to imagine. Its easier than the makeout scenes, ive got to tell ya. Stephen oh, really . Like, a love scene is harder . Yeah, theres more distance between you and the other person. laughter its a much cleaner business. Stephen well, thats nice. Much less personal. Stephen impostors is the new series on bravo. Yes. Stephen who is lenny cohen and where did the role come from . Lenny cohen is the heavy
