And now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, its Stephen Colbert cheers and applause stephen hey, everybody good to see you how are you chris mark applause jon hey stephen whats up, jon . Good to see you. Welcome to the late show. Welcome to the late show. Im your host. cheers and applause im your host, Stephen Colbert. Last night we witnessed history as barack obama delivered his stirring farewell address, joining the pantheon of president s in celebrating not only what theyve done for america, but their vision of what the future holds for our great country. It was a truly moving experience. And i just have to say, lets talk about donald trump for a second. laughter because, theres a story came out in the last 24 hours. And pardon the expression, it is juicy. laughter last night heres what happened cnn reported that last friday intelligence chiefs presented trump with claims of russian efforts to compromise him. I gotta say, that is an awkward first meeting with your new boss. Hey, looking forward to working together. Water coolers down the hall. We heard that youre the puppet of a hostile foreign government. Barbara validates parking any time you need it. Any questions . Were all going to get along. Its going to be great intelligence officials prepared a twopage summary of allegations that russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and Financial Information about mr. Trump. Trump received these documents as part of his intelligence briefing, so we know one thing for sure he didnt read them. A lot of effort, a lot of effort. And trump immediately denied the report, tweeting, intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to leak into the public. One last shot at me. Are we living in nazi germany . So true. No, no, no, no, no hes got that is so true. We all remember how unfair nazi germany was to their charismatic leader. Those people were always going talk to the hand applause so rude. No no but trump is right in this one way everyone admits this report is unverified. President of the United States. So im not going to validate that report by sharing the most salacious details from it, even the detail everyones talking about. You might call it the number one detail. I think this is just an unfortunate leak. applause thats making a huge mess. And i know im being a wet blanket, but reporting on this is the worst kind of yellow journalism. Even though jokes about this story are a golden opportunity, i wont do it. Not to say the story didnt make a huge splash. It did. It flooded twitter. Well keep you updated as facts trickle in. laughter we have our best researcher working on it. Shes a real whizz. And one thing is for sure the president elect is a believes in trickledown. He has the respect of our Emergency Service workers who gave his plane a water salute. Trump has even denied allegations like this before in the strongest of terms. No p. P. Stephen so no, no, im not going to make any jokes, not even a wee one. So im cutting it off now. I am finished. Wait a little more is coming out cheers and applause it happens sometimes. It happens sometimes. But after eight years of listening to trump make unsubstantiated claims about obamas birth certificate, i dont think this matters if this is true or not, because the fact is, its out there, and that means, mr. Trump, youren trouble. Okay, thats it. Were done. And in the middle of all of this craziness today, trump held his First Press Conference in 168 days. Fun fact the last time trump held a press conference, he asked his friends to help him by hacking hillary clinton. I will tell you this, russia, if youre listening, i hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. Stephen those were simpler times. Remember that . No, no, those were lovely those were simpler times when we thought russia took orders from trump. Its just i miss them. When trump took to the podium, he was quick to attack whoever produced the unverified report. It was a group of opponents who got together, sick people, and they mutt that crap together. Stephen sir, not close. Jon oooh applause stephen and trump, of course, defended his relationship with russia. If putin likes donald trump, i consider that an asset, not a liability. Stephen sir, at this point, i think we all consider you a russian asset. cheers and applause and thats good, right . I think thats good. Thats positive. And he explained just why he wants to work with russia. Russia can help us fight isis, which is, by the way, is number one tricky. Stephen number one tricky, by the way, is the official name for what those women did in that Russian Hotel room, allegedly. Allegedly its on the Room Service Menu ill have the number one tricky and a cobb salad, please. How long will that be . But trump quickly moved beyond the allegations to remind us why we voted for him because hes a great negotiator. We dont make good deals anymore. Stephen yeah, like how we traded obama for the worlds loudest troll doll. laughter applause terrible deal. Terrible. The problem with unsubstantiated rumors like trump being run by the russian government is how do you possibly dispel them . And heres the thing. I i i only feel for donald trump a little bit here because he brought this on himself. And i have a suggestions, mr. Trump, of how to get rid of it. Just do the thing you have never done, which is say anything putin wouldnt like, all right, that would prove theyre not running you. Because youve never said anything putin doesnt lo criticize the invasion of ukraine. applause criticize taking away the crimea. Criticize him killing journalists. Raise sanctions on russia. Say putins nipples look like pencil erasers. Say anything, anything negative about him. I dare you, because i bet you wont , of course, trump could immediately clear up any questions about his business dealings with russia if he just released his tax returns. Where was i . What i talking about . Oh, barack obama. Right. Last night, president obama gave his farewell address to the nation, which will be followed by the republicans farewell address to everything he did. It was a gracious speech, and obama reaffirmed his commitment to the peaceful transfer of power. I committed to president elect trump that my administration would ensure the smoothest possible transition, just as president bush did for me. Stephen and just as President Trump will for vladamir putin. Absolutely smooth. Grease the skids. The president reminded us of his many Foreign Policy accomplishments. For the past eight years, ive worked to put the fight against terrorism on a firm legal footing. Thats why weve ended torture, worked to close gitmo. Stephen hold on a second. Youve accomplished some stuff, but, worked to close gitmo . Does history give partial credit . Sorry, you dont get a prize for good intentions. I mean, other than the nobel peace prize. A Community Organizer to the very last, he urged people to get involved. If youre tired of arguing with strangers on the internet, try talking with one of them in real life. Stephen yeah get off the internet and talk to everyone in real life. Jon i like that. Stephen talk to people in real talk to people in real life because its only way the russians cant hear you. And that wasnt the president s only call to action. All of us, regardless of party, should be throwing ourselves stephen off of a cliff and into the ocean . You got it, chief its been an honor. cheers and applause im sorry was im sorry, was there more of that. Should be throwing ourselves into the task of rebuilding our democratic institutions. Stephen oooo that sound like a lot of work. Thats gonna take forever. Cant i just retweet a petition or Something Like that . Of course, president obama, total crowd pleaser, had to namedrop the most popular person in the world. Michelle, you made the white house a place that belongs to everybody. And a new generation sets its sights higher because it has you as a role model. cheers and applause so you have made me proud and you have made the country proud. laughter cheers then shielding lubrication.

How old of a pope . Is he your age of a pope . I think we set him at around 47, just a touch older. Stephen thats young for a pope. It is. Stephen whats the pope average . Gosh, i dont know. I would guess 70plus. Stephen yeah. So hes young. Stephen Pope John Paul ii was pretty young. He was in his 50s. That was crazy he was so young there. Hes the youngest post and also the First American pope. And the piece is it starts off with a conclave a conclave of cardinals who voted him in, trying to work out who voted for him. No one knows how he got this position. Isnt that interesting . laughter applause stephen is there any chance is there any chance the russians were behind it . laughter applause . All those russian cardinals. Stephen yeah, yeah. And then and then on the other side you have lenny belardo, the popes peri name, who is so the guys name is lenny belardo. Lenny belardo. Stephen what pope name is it he take . Pus xiii. So hes stepping into some hot shoes. Funny, talking about shoes. Obviously, they wear white vestiments. And the one thing they get to choose by all accounts is the color of their shoes. Stephen benedict xvi had beautiful shoes. And the red shoes on the whole have been proven to be quite controversial popes. They go in the back of the room at the Sistine Chapel known as the room of tears. Theyve just been elected and they weep. Theyre given the vestaments and everyone looks to see what color the shoes are. Francis wears white shoes. Stephen what are the options, white, black, red, it is the present pope, francis, very simple. Yes. Stephen got rid of the throne, wears very simple stuff. Got rid of the pope mobile, drives a chevette or Something Like that. Honest to god a used they were there in rome, and no one knew where he was. He left the vatican to get his glasses changed and by all believes was horrified when he came out and there were, like, thousands of people. Stephen he went to a lens crafters, Something Like that . Yeah. Stephen this is one of your outfits. This pope is very different. Hes not as humble. This is one of the outfits youre wearing as the pope. That is fabulous that is amazing. I understand now, i always thought, you know, talking about age, i always thought that popes you know walked like this because theyre old. Theyre walking like that because that stuff weighs so much. Its like wearing six carpets on top of you and then a big a big metal miter. Stephen theres another one. Wonderful outfit s. Stephen the oh, yes, oh, yes. Stephen these are accurate . The detail, historically, but also in how they were hand woven and we had vatican experts working on it with us. Yeah, yeah. Stephen boy, how do you tailor Something Like that . I dont than they nip and tuck it particularly. They just put it on and sew on jewels. Thats about it. Stephen i like it. If im going to have a pope, for my buck i throw in the collection plate, i want some the theater of the clalg church stephen youre not a catholic. Im not a catholic, no. Stephen but the chalg church is like theater because every mass is like, its a play that reproduces the last supper. The priest is christ and were the disciples. Absolutely. With great costume s. Stephen absolutely incredible. We also, the young pope has become quite a hit on the internet otwitter, without it ever being released. People love the pope so much, theyve made a meme of replacing lyrics to songs with the story the young pope. Heres one im talking about. Heres one heres one laughter applause cheers and applause i love this. I love this. To be honest with you, i only learned what a meme is it meme . Stephen meme, meme. I owner learned what a meme was yesterday but im thrilled. Stephen you not being a catholic, did you have to learn about the catholic chump or the poem himself or im the pope of television. I am the most catholic host on television. cheers and applause do you have do you have any questions about the papacy that i could inform you, anything about your character you might need to know about .

Stephen welcome back, everybody. My next guest tonight is an author, New York Times columnist, and threetime Pulitzer Prize winner. Please welcome, thomas l. Friedman we all live in a Yellow Submarine we all live in a Yellow Submarine stephen nice to see you again. Great to be here. Stephen its like old home week, havent talked in a long time, mr. World is flat, mr. Globalization. Let me ask you a question before we get on to your book here. The idea that russia has used cyber warfare to interveer with our election over here and the rumors that have been promulgated, even by the intelligence community, that donald trump might be under the thumb of the russian government. Do you have a perspective on that inn friedman. Ive been thinking about it. You know, what struck me, stephen, listening to your opening, trump might be the first president who has to recuse himself from dealing with the whole country. You really do wonder how this is going to play out at their first meeting. And the whole relationship is so weird in the sense that this all started, stephen, with putin thinking hillary was going to win, and he hated hillary, so to tweak her, he praised trump, and trump came back and said, that guy likes me. I think hes okay, too. Hes a strong leader. Id be a strong leader, too, if i eliminated all my opponents with poisontipped exwraels. You know what i mean. You can be strong. And the thing has sort of cascaded now to the point where you really wonder, trump said hed like to work with russia. Im all for working with russia. They have a lot of nuclear isis and syria. Russias allies fighting isis in syria are hezbollah, iran, and jihadists from central asia. Are we going to be allies with them . And its why, stephen, when i listen to him, you always feel like theres no second paragraph. Theres always just the first paragraph. But he hasnt thought around the corner, you know applause . cheers . Things it has one character before youre president , but beginning on january 20, thats the president of the United States tweeting, tweeting at north korea, tweeting about russia, tweeting about putin. And that has wholly different implication s. Stephen do you imagine that will change . Boy, i hope so. I mean do you want to lay a bet . Oh stephen now, lets talk about some other things to be anxious about, or to be happy about im not entirely sure yet. Youve got a new book called thank you for being late an optimists guide for thriving in the age of acceleration. First of all, what is the age of acceleration . Are we in it right now . The book argue wiers in the middle of three exponential accelerations, the market, mother nature, and moores law. Mother nature, climate change, if you fut on a graph, it looks like a hockey stick. The market for me is digital globalization. Everything is being facebook, twitter, paypal. Stephen the internet of things. All of that. And moores law, coined by gordon moore, said the speed in power microchips will double in roughly 24 months. Its now about 30, but its kept up. Were in the middle of these three accelerations. I tell the story of intel trying to explain the power of acceleration in technology. They took the 1971 w. V. Beatle and said what in this car improved at the same rate microchips have over the last 52 years. They determined that car would go 300,000 miles an hour. It would get two million miles a gallon and cost four cent. So thats the power of the exponential thats really driving all the technology forward. Stephen how do we survive in it, thomas l. Friedman. What i really argue for in the book and the reason the book nendz minnesota, where i grew up, is finding a way to yourself in the world. The book actually, stephen, is the celebration of everything old and slow. It argues like crock pots, slow cooking . A little bit. It really argues that i think everything that matters today is actually all the stuff you cant download. Its the stuff you have to upload the oldfashioned way, one human being to honor. applause one of my favorite eye. I wrap my love around the frame, you can dance in a hurricane, but only if youre standing in the eye. I think trump is selling a wall to the hurricane, and im arguing for an eye, thats the Healthy Community where people can be anchored in the world, feel connected, protected, and respected and i think politics here and around the world for the next few years is going to be really a battle between the wall people and the eye people. applause .
