laughter you are now recognized for your opening statement. Did you feel threatened . laughter its the late show with Stephen Colbert. Tonight, free bird plus, stephen welcomes paul rudd and Adrienne Warren 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 . Stephen hey, everybody, thanks so much. What a crowd what a crowd, my friend, beautiful. Welcome, one and all thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome, one and all to thealate show. Im your host, Stephen Colbert. You can feel the excitement. You know why . The holidays are coming. Were just two days away from thanksgiving. If you want moist breast meat, put your turkey in the oven now, at 75 degrees for 48 hours. laughter today, the president and first lady participated in the traditional pardoning of the turkeys ceremony. When he heard the news, Paul Manafort said gobbling laugh this year, the two turkeys up for pardon were called bread and butter. They got into town sunday night and this is true they stayed in a suite in the historic willard hotel. You know the willards motto theres a chance a bird pooped on your pillow. I dont know why they stayed in a hotel. Then came the big pardon. Butter, i wish you a lot of luck. I hereby grant you a full and complete pardon. Stephen a great moment for butter. He bitter got the official pardon moment. Only one thing bread won the white house twitter poll by 12 points but, of course, the Electoral College picked butter. laughter jon wow wow stephen still, i gotta say bit of a shocker, i am surprised applause lovely people. Theyre all invited to dinner. Im surprised bread won the popular vote. I cant believe its not butter. laughter applause that joke from little richie dom, age 8. Trumps been hanging out with animals all week. Yesterday, the white house received a visit from conan the hero dog from the albaghdadi raid. And trump was excited to shake its paw. So this is conan, right now probably the worlds most famous dog. I was told about the breed. I was told about conan himself. Stephen there you have it laughter the president praised conan himself, runofthemill moment where the leader of the free world goes on tv to thank a dog. No way to mess that up, right . Wrong. laughter because after spending the whole day thinking conan was a very good boy, we got word that a white house official confirmed that conan the dog is female. applause as trump wait, wait, wait. Conans a girl . Whatever she said is a lie. Yes, yes, i moved on her like a bitch, but shes literally a female dog. Its okay to say that. It was consensual petting. laughter anyway, a simple doggender misunderstanding. Weve all done it. Lets move on. Now lets come back, because less than two hours later, white house officials informed the media conan the dog is a male, even though they had previously said conan was female. Okay, are they confused, or are they just changing it again to match what the president said . as official the president is correct. Conan is, indeed, male. In addition, scientists believe that windmills cause cancer, and diet coke is a food group. laughter now, they couldnt identify the gender of an animal that, may i remind you, is not wearing pants. laughter twice. Twice. Then, this afternoon, a defense official told a reporter conan, the hero dog from the albaghdadi raid is, in fact, a girl. Oh, for petes sake will somebody please just take a close look at that dogs crotch . I mean, have the dog do it thats kind of their thing thats why were so jillous we are, because he can. Okay, so after being a boy, then a girl, then a boy, conan is a girl. Luckily, thats all the time we have to spend on whether conans got the kibbles or the bits, until one hour later, when the same reporter tweeted, two defense officials have now contacted us to say conan is for sure a boy. One official said they triple checked. Im not. I dont i dont understand. Triple checked . Hold on. Yeah, okay. That work out. That works out. In the spirit of those who shared their maize with the pilgrims on the first thanksgiving, today, trump signed an executive order to combat violence against native americans. And he complimented one of the attendees on their name. We have a man whose name i want to use. I maybe have to change my name because i love this name, alvin a. J. Notafraid, chairman of the crow nation. I love this name is it true youre not afraid . Are you not afraid of anything . Stephen as trump really . Youre not afraid . Youre not afraid of anything . Not even stairs . Or bette midler . Not afraid of anything . Of course, the one thing trump is afraid of is impeachment. And ill give you the latest on that in tonights don and the giant impeach. Somebody said something that could have been a little bit wrong. Stephen now, it looks like the impeachment inquiry may be wrapping up, because yesterday, Committee Chair adam schiff sent a letter to members of the house announcing that the impeachment committees report will be finished soon after Congress Returns from the thanksgiving recess. Just in time for the christmas season. In fact, ive already got my impeachment advent calendar. Its so exciting. The entire month of december its so exciting. cheers and applause there you go. Okay, every day its got all the doors here, and every day, you open a door and get a piece of candy. Lets get the first piece of candy. Oh, whats this . Just a little note there. Just a second. Youll get your candy, but i would like you to do us a favor, though. laughter applause it was a long walk, but it was a lovely view. Im surprised that schiff ended it so quickly. This is the biggest congressional hearing in a generation. Its an event. Its quid pro quochella. And the headliners havent played yet the Mick Mulvaney experience, mike pompeo speed wagon, and mike pence, a. K. A. White snake. laughter up until now up until this moment, trump has blocked testimony by any of these aides. But all those guys might have to testify, thanks to a ruling involving former white House Counsel and americas angry first husband, don mcgahn. Congress has subpoenaed mcgahn to testify about trumps efforts to obstruct the mueller investigation. Trump blocked it, and congress sued. Well, yesterday, a federal judge ruled that mcgahn must testify before house impeachment investigators. cheers and applause as announcer don mcgahn, come on down youre the next contestant on. the prez is wrong laughter the president s lawyers argued that seniorlevel aides like mcgahn are immune from testifying because they count as the president s alter egos. Wait a second. Trump has alter egos . Did he horcrux himself . laughter as trump okay, im going to hide parts of my soul in objects that are precious to me. Somebody get me a bucket of chicken, okay. Im going to make a horclucks. Heres the deal but judge Ketanji Brown jackson explicitly rejected that logic writing, president s are not kings. True, very true. cheers and applause jon that lays it out right there. Stephen i will say eric trump does look royalfamily inbred. laughter as eric my bones are like twizzlers but trumps not worried. This morning, he tweeted, the d. C. Wolves and Fake News Media are reading far too much into people being forced by courts to testify before congress. I am fighting for future president s and the office of the president. Other than that, i would actually like people to testify. as trump its so true. I would like nothing more than for Rudy Giuliani to testify before congress accompanied by his Legal Counsel a twoliter box of franzia. laughter now, trumps gotten a lot of criticism this week for pardoning a navy seal convicted of a war crime, but this morning, he fired back on twitter. I will always protect our great war fighters. War fighters . Nobody calls them that. Im pretty sure thats the name of the generic video game your grandmother buys you when you ask for call of duty. as grandma it was in a 3 bin outside of joann fabrics. Its only playable on the nintendo cube. Isnt that what you have . But trump may have another motive besides standing up for the war fighters, because today, news leaked that trump has told allies he wants these absolved war criminals to campaign for him. Sure, campaigning with war criminals is an american tradition. Thats why nixon stumped in iowa with colonel kurtz. Nixon 72 the horror. The horror. Weve got a great show for you tonight.

They also expect that extreme chill to move across the dinner table when cousin tyler tells grandpa, actually, gender is a spectrum. laughter okay . Okay .
