Its the late show with Stephen Colbert. Tonight, florida students stand up to the n. R. A. Plus, stephen welcomes sam rockwell j. J. Abrams and musical guest borns. 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 . Thank you very much. Hey, everybody please, sit down. Youre too kind can. Welcome to the late show. Im your host, Stephen Colbert. cheers and applause the big story the big story tonight continues to be the inspiring activism of children. Today, students all over florida walked out of their classrooms and were joined by kids in ohio, kentucky, illinois, arizona, iowa, and a huge group of students from maryland, virginia, and d. C. , who descended on our nations capitol. cheers and applause yes gotta give it up. The adults the adults just dont get it, so the kids got woke. Need proof that adults dont get it . Remember how awkward it was when i just said got woke . laughter there it is. Meanwhile, the kids from parkland held a massive rally on the steps of the Florida State capitol. Their demands are simple never again should students have to protest for their lives. Never again should an innocent life be taken while trying to gain an education. We are coming after you. We are coming after every single one of you and demanding that you take action, demanding that you make a change. What we must do now is enact change, because that is what we do to things that fail. We change them. Im not here for a fight. Im not here to argue with you. I just want to speak i just want to see your face and know why people are talking about how we arent serious because were children, but have you heard my friends talk . Were serious. I will fight every single day, and i know everyone else here will fight for the rest of their lives to see sensible gun laws in this country so that kids dont have to fear going back to school. cheers and applause stephen what . Im sorry. Im sorry. I didnt catch all of that. I was reading on twitter about how all millennials are lazy and entitled. applause now, this comes wish i could have heard that. This comes on the heels of last night when, with Parkland Students watching from the gallery, state house members voted down a motion to debate an existing bill that would ban assault weapons and largecapacity ammunition magazines. What bill did they vote on . Porn. What are you doing in there . You better be loading a gun young man kids, kids today. Its hard not to be inspired by these kids but some people have managed to do tlike former georgia congressman and greasy bag full of cash jack kingston. Kingston appeared on cnn yesterday to call out these traumatized students and call them fraud. Do we really think and i say this sincerely do we really think 17yearolds on their own are going to plan a nationwide rally . I would say to you very plainly that organized groups that are out there, like george soros, are always ready to take the charge, and its kind of like instant rally, instant protest. Jack, teenagers are pretty good at planning big gatherings by themselves. laughter cheers and applause i dont understand. I mean, didnt you ever go to a party in high school . Oh. Oh, never mind. I withdraw my question. There werent any at your high school. laughter everyone stayed in and studied, jack. And kingstons not alone. Many online are accusing the parkland survivors of being socalled Crisis Actors who travel to the sites of shootings to instigate fury against guns. Thats right. Were being taken in by the dazzling theatrical performances of high school actors. Weve all been duped before. I guess you could say this truly is. Our town. laughter applause that is wrong on a lot of levels, not just because it diminishes the tragedy of what these kids are experience, but it also it also gives theater majors false hope that some day theyll get jobs. I speak from experience here. Improv is where the big money is. And heres Parkland StudentCameron Kasky on the question of whether hes a paid crisis actor. If you had seen me in our schools production of fiddler on the roof, you would know that nobody would pay me to act for anything. cheers and applause stephen thats very good. Maybe not, but in the spirit of fiddler, these kids are finding out that obeying the n. R. A. Is a republican traditiooonnn tradition dont get me wrong. They would listen if you were a rich man applause and it wasnt just internet crazies attacking these kids online. They were joined by trump son and man telling the bouncer to check the list again, donald trump jr. , who liked tweets attacking a florida massacre survivor. Well, you know what they say the douche doesnt fall far from the bag. Meanwhile, d. J. T. J. Is in india this week to tout new trumpbranded apartments near delhi, and the country has welcomed him with fullpage glossy newspaper ads trumpeting trumps arrival that say things like, trump is here. Are you invited . Kind of exciting. Although, the ad really should say, trump is here, are you invited . No, not that trump, the other one. No, not ivanka, either. She had a thing. Its don jr. , the one whos always wet for some reason. A lot of fans here tonight. The trumps have a lot of fans. These invites didnt come cheap. The Trump Organization offered home buyers the opportunity to pay about 38,000 to join mr. Donald trump jr. For a conversation and dinner. Yes, its a big opportunity. Usually, usually, to meet trump jr. , you have to be russian. laughter applause i dont know what that was. And these people are going to get their moneys worth. Check out this interview he gave to Indian Television yesterday. I think there is something about the spirit of the indian people thats unique here to other parts of the emerging world. I can you know, you go through a town, and you, you know i dont mean to be glib about it, but you can see the poorest of the poor, and theres still a smile on a face. Stephen yes. I mean, theres nothing worse than a depressing poor. Ive said it before would it have killed those dust bowl okies to grin a little . Was that meredith . Im not sure who that is. You know you dont know that photo, jon. Jon i dont know that photo. Stephen super famous. The a lot of the depression was less depressing than you think. You know whos not smiling much . Donald trump sr. It seems like the ongoing russia investigation is really getting to him. In just the past week, hes tweeted about russia 20 times. Just this morning tweeting, question if all of the russian meddling took place during the Obama Administration, right up to january 20th, why arent they the subject of the investigation . Why didnt obama do something about the meddling . Why arent dem crimes under investigation . Ask Jeff Sessions you ask Jeff Sessions hes your attorney general you can literally the phone. You can use the phone that youre tweeting to call him laughter applause actually, trump might not be sure who to call. Because before deleting the tweet and correcting it, trump originally posted, ask jeff session wow, he demoted the attorney general to the singular laughter although, technically, im not sure sessions is correct either. If the plural of attorney general is attorneys general, so i think the plural of jeff session be jeffs session . Can we get to the bottom of that. You can research that . Great. Lets get back to the tweet itself. Trump asks, question if all of the russian meddling took place during the Obama Administration right up to january 20th, why arent they the subject of the investigation . Im not sure you understand how investigations work. Thats like saying, im the new police chief. When i was running for police chief, i stabbed a guy, a bunch. Why didnt the old police chief stop me . Theres your crime, okay . Stab eddiestabbedy. Stab, stab, stab. Here, look. And thats not the only way trump thinks hes better than obama. He also tweeted, i have been much tougher on russia than obama. Just look at the facts. Total fake news first of all, sir, thank you for labelling your post total fake news. Thats a real time saver. Secondly secondly secondly, i did look at the facts. Youve refused to impose any new sanctions on russia. And a ton of people in your campaign lied about and then were caught meeting with russians donald trump jr. , mike flynn, and even one guy in your cabinet who lied about it to congress. Can you guess his name . Hint ask jeff session. Still still still applause still, it makes sense that trump would attack obama. Its his goto move. He says he does everything better than the previous president. In fact and this is true when giving visiting tours of the white house, trump boasts, obama never used the oval, but trump is different. laughter first, what . laughter applause second second, huh . laughter third, you are aware of the invention of something called the camera, right . Lets play a little game. Lets play a little game, all right. Can you spot the obama in the picture . Here he is in the oval office, showing off his limber hammies to joe biden. Here he is in the oval office shaking hands with some jackass. Okay . And this is lovely. Here he is on his last day, rubbing his butt on your desk. laughter cheers and applause weve got a great show for you tonight. Sam rockwell is here. And j. J. Abrams has a big surprise, a huge surprise, for this audience. But when we return, i check in with whats new at covetton house. Stick around introducing the npower jean aka the perfect straight. And introducing the new relaxed slim for men. Power up with up to 50 off all jeans. Adults from fifteen dollars, kids from ten dollars. At old navy. To everyone else, ieveryone else. But on the inside, i feel chronic, widespread pain. Fibromyalgia may be invisible to others, but my pain is real. Fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. Lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. Im glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. For some, lyrica delivers effective relief for moderate to even severe fibromyalgia pain. And improves function. Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. Common side effects dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, swelling of hands, legs and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. Those whove had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. With less pain, i can do more with my family talk to your doctor today. See if lyrica can help. That i have a highend audience they know about highend lifestyles, like the kind in celebrity lifestyle blog goop, proponents of such luxury wellness products as wearable stickers that promote healing or frog venom skin treatments. The paralysis means its working. Thats why i am so excited that as part of a feature titled the beauty wellness detox guide, goop has debuted a coffee enema. Its invigorating. I always say i cant start the day until my coffees had me. laughter thats a mr. Coffee, though, isnt it . And its stylish just look at its scandinavian minimalist design. Its on a marble lazy susan, so i assume its easier to serve at dinner parties. And its elegant functionality is only outdone by its real, actual name the implantorama. The instructions are right there in the name. Im gonna plant it and then oooorama. laughter by the way, the makers want you to know this is an athome coffee enema. Yes, sadly, the travel version has been banned by the t. S. A. More than three ounces. But while i know this product sounds universally appealing, they warn its only for those who want to supercharge their detox and know what theyre doing. And in case its unclear, what youre doing is buttchugging a venti. laughter now, heres the deal the implantorama system can be yours for the low, low price of yours for the low, low price of 135. So that extra cash can go from burning a hole in your pocket to just burning your hole. Jon wow wow applause woooo stephen not making this up. And if thats too steep, you can always get the beginners pack. A frappucino and a turkey baster. laughter unfortunately, the haters in the medical Community Came out of the woodwork calling coffee enemas dangerous, with risks including colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease; and septicemia, an infection caused by bacteria in the blood. But, hey, thats why youve got your wellness stickers and frog venom. laughter these socalled doctors also say the enemas arent technically necessary, because if you have a liver, your body is already getting rid of toxins. Yeah, ok, mr. Science, but can my liver make me fart Pumpkin Spice . laughter i love that time of year i love that time of year i know its fall you know its fall then. Jon yeah, yeah, yeah. applause well, fans of this show know that i also have a luxury lifestyle brand that wants to clean out your chute, and its covetton house. Baroque simplicity. Shabby elegance.

We slept through i slept in and my girlfriend kind of creeped up to me and just whispered in my ear in a very sexy way, you just got nominated for an oscar.

Stephen youre nominated best supporting actor, up against your cosupporting actor, woody harls son. Is there any tension there . Im going to take him out. Stephen he should never have left cheers.

Stephen three bill boards for those who havent seen it, its the story of a mother who is crushed and enraged by the rape and murder of her daughter, who rent three billboards outside ebbing, missouri. To stir up the cops. Stephen basically to say, yhavent you found it . And you play a racist cop in that town. Yes. Stephen and violent. And yet, its an uplifting movie. How do you and funny. If you can believe that. Stephen its both funny and uplifting. How how . You know, Martin Mcdonough is kind of a genius. He deals with a lot of heavy themes and still manages. I think the magic is he cracks jokes right when youre having a heavy moment so youre able to digest the sort of potency of these moments. And i think thats what gives the audience maybe a break so they can digest this stuff. Stephen ive often said the jokes are the sorbet of drama. Thats very well put. Stephen its a palette cleanser. Its a palette cleanser. Thats very well put. Stephen its also an interesting movie in terms of its structure. Your performances, all the cast performances actually hold together a story that goes all over the place at times. You dont necessarily know who the antagonist is. Who is she fighting against . Thats right, thats right. Its dealing with antiheroes, which is kind of rare these gays daze. But, yeah, it is its a great, complicated movie. And thats why i love tyeah. Stephen theres i wont get into the end of the movie, which finds you and Frances Mcdormand on a making a bit of a pact together. Yes. Stephen but that that moment, that end of the movie, has caused some controversy because you play a virulently racist character. Yeah, yeah. Stephen who is provided a moment some see as redemption for this hateful character hateful and ignorant character. What do you what do you say to the idea that, that shouldnt be provided for this
