11:36 pm
and i've done it all and i have passed all the bars i'm going to pass! and if you think for one minute that you jury are going to walk around telling the world that don trump is done, you're out of your mind! >> chaos in the court today when trump's new attorney hit the judge with a pile driver. >> i'm holding you in contempt! >> announcer: it's "the late show with stephen colbert"! tonight... one fine day! plus, stephen welcomes jeff daniels! and hannah einbinder! featuring louis cato and "the late show" band. and now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, it's stephen colbert!
11:37 pm
♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] >> stephen: oh! salt on french fries. [cheering] we got a good one, a long one. welcome. welcome one at all in here, out there, up there to "the late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. now for those of you, anyone at home keeping score, today was the start of week two of testimony in donald trump's hush money trial here in new york city. it is clearly taking a toll on the man. here he is entering the courthouse this morning, with his cheeks full of acorns for later. trump showed just as much stamina as last week. reportedly, he was sitting with his eyes closed for
11:38 pm
significant portions of his testimony. so, either he's falling asleep again, or he's doing that little kid thing where he thinks if he can't see you, no one can see him. it's a real challenge for his lawyers. i gotta tell you. [applause] uh-oh. "i wonder where the former president is. i guess i'll have to eat all these cookies by myself. oh, well." "wait, i'm here!" of course, when trump hasn't been asleep, he's been violating his gag order by posting messages attacking witnesses and prosecutors and jurors. so before testimony resumed today, judge merchan finally issued his ruling on the violations, fining trump $9,000. [cheering] now, i know. $9,000 may not seem like a lot to a successful businessman, but what about to trump? [laughter and applause] the judge lamented -- the judge lamented that that's
11:39 pm
the most he could legally fine him, warning that if trump keeps violating the gag order, jail may be a necessary punishment. [cheering] i don't know if it's necessary for trump, but i need it. now, when the testimony resumed, we got a glimpse of trump's legal team's overall defense: it's that trump didn't have sex with any of the women who he paid off for silence. so he paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars so his wife wouldn't find out he didn't have an affair. "melania, i know this is gonna be hard for you to hear, but you're not the only woman i'm not having sex with." [laughter]
11:40 pm
okay? throughout all this, trump is being represented by an attorney and guy who just spotted all his gym buddies hanging out at a chili's happy hour, todd blanche. attorney blanche is a former federal prosecutor, and reportedly, trump liked him at first. but recently, behind closed doors, trump started trump stard complain been insufficiently aggressive, and wants him to attack witnesses, the jury pool, and the judge. not sure that's the best legal strategy. "ladies and gentlemen of the jury, i maybe a simple country lawyer, but at least i'm not fugly like you jagoffs. and your honor, and your honor, if it please the court, ninja star!" blanche isn't the first lawyer to find himself on trump's bad side. trump has often complained that he doesn't have an attorney who will do anything for him, venting that he does not have "a roy cohn." now for our younger viewers,
11:41 pm
if you don't know who roy cohn is, pause right here, and go watch "angels in america," parts one and two. i'll see you in 7 hours. it's worth it. okay, you're back. and you're ready o laugh. of course, one of the biggest stories right now is the nationwide pro-palestinian student protests around college campuses in the united states in what's being called perhaps the most significant student movement since the anti-vietnam campus protests of the late 1960s. they're even bigger than the protests when i was in college in the '80s, when students held rallies declaring "i want my mtv" and "is this how you spell apartide?" the protests ramped up a couple of weeks ago, after students erected tents on columbia university's main lawn to show solidarity with gaza, and... [applause] the university president took the controversial step of
11:42 pm
calling in the police to arrest those involved. even if you don't agree with the subject of their protests as long as they are peaceful, students should be allowed to protest. it's their first amendment right. [cheers and applause] that's the kind of idealism you learn in college. and it's one of the few college lessons you can use your whole life. unlike beer funneling, which you stop being able to do around 35, when your wife catches you. and it's not just at columbia. yesterday, cops arrested at least 100 protestors at ut austin. this morning, they arrested at least 30 protestors at unc chapel hill. yes, college administrators are using the classic deescalation tactic of sending in heavily armed police and threatening to call the national guard. photos online show police snipers set up on the roofs of buildings at ohio state university and indiana university, although the ohio state administration stated that these were state police officers, which the school also employs during football games.
11:43 pm
"what are you worrying about, students? the snipers are always there. for football games, women's volleyball, a capella. you've been warned, guy who goes "sha-doop shooby doop." buy a guitar!" now, tensions right now are so high that overnight, protestors at columbia broke into a campus building, which probably will not help their cause with the public. also not helping: donald trump. last week, he weighed in on the protests outside the manhattan courtroom where he's on trial and went after joe biden's response. >> this is somebody that shouldn't be doing what he's doing because he can't do it and he can't do it well. we're having protests all over. he was talking about charlottesville. charlottesville was a little peanut. >> stephen: now, before you criticize trump for downplaying one of the darkest chapters in modern american history as "a little peanut," i will remind you o this disturbing image
11:44 pm
from charlottesville that day. of course, the presidential race is not just trump versus biden. there's also independent candidate and chlamydia vector at the old folks home, robert f. kennedy jr. last month, one pollster told politico, "any support kennedy derives comes almost totally at the expense of biden." probably because people are confusing them for each other. "i'm voting for the grizzled irish gu. there's how many?!" well, it turns out, according to a new nbc news poll, that rfk jr. candidacy hurts trump more than biden. [applause] trump seems worried about this. after the poll came out, he angrily truthed: "rfk jr. is a democrat plant." we all know rfk is not a plant, because clearly, this man has never been watered. of course, there you go.
11:45 pm
i got something. so of course, other people are running for other things. it's an election year. and many of them are also old and weird. take west virginia, where the democratic primary for the u.s. senate is heating up. and the latest old weirdo to throw his hat in the ring is businessman and guy patiently waiting for the adult baptisms to end so he can drink the water, don blankenship. this week, blankenship dropped this ruly baffling ad. >> hi, i'm don blankenship, candidate for the united states senate and i paid for this ad. >> don blankenship will tell you the honest truth. >> don blankenship. he's the most honest ceo in america. >> your choice is simple. you could vote for more lies or you can vote for the most honest ceo in america. >> if they tell you i fell off the bed and hung myself, i didn't. [laughter]
11:46 pm
[cheers and applause] >> stephen: what? kind of a weird way to introduce yourself. "hi, i'm ryan, i'll be your server tonight. and if they tell you i fell off the bed and hung myself, i didn't. can i get you started with some nachos?" as i said, blankenship is running as a democrat, but he used to be a republican and he seems like a space alien wearing human skin. here's another ad he dropped the same day. >> hi, i'm don blankenship. west virginia democrats have abandoned their party. no more transgender nonsense or illegal immigration. no more black lives matter. no more deadly china fentanyl. if they tell you i fell off the bed and hung myself, i didn't. [laughter] >> stephen: so it's his slogan. it's just like those beauty ads "maybe she's born with it. maybe she didn't trip down the stairs into a basket of knives."
11:47 pm
so weird, but it's not like blankenship released a third ad on the same day, right? >> democrats should vote for me to help make your party relevant again. independents should vote for me because neither party deserves your vote. if they tell you i fell off the bed and hung myself, i didn't. >> stephen: wait. where'd he go at the end? there's only one possible explanation. he fell off the bed and hung himself! [applause] so clearly he's building his entire campaign around this phrase. but it's just not quite catchy enough, which is why we decided to help him out with this jingle. >> democrats should vote for me to help make their party relevant again. ♪ if they tell you ♪ ♪ i fell off the bed ♪

[cheers and applause] >> stephen: thank you, bela.

thank you for being here. not only bela fleck tonight we have two fantastic guests. from "hacks," hannah einbinder is going to be out here in a moment. a man, truly a gift to the art of acting, jeff daniels will be out here in just a moment. [cheers and applause] folks, if you watch the show and i hope you do, you i spend most of my time in the news kitchen, sourcing the day's finest baleada story dough, carefully rolling it into the softest most topical flats, carefully making three fine slits and gently frying it in arbequina olive oil and adding a drizzle of agave to present to you the flavorful yet delicate honduran macheteada breakfast pastry that is my monologue. but sometimes, after escaping an experimental human-animal hybrid island, i shelter in an abandoned shipping container with "ulu," a raccoon-faced girl who helps me grind coconut husk into a paste which we mix with bilge water and pour into

11:56 pm
"whoops! honey, i accidentally shipped your cat to amazon. darn it. i am really gonna miss waking up to whiskers putting her buttole directly on my mouth." [laughter] apparently, the cat, galena, loves to play in boxes, and when her owners packed up a carton of steel-toed work boots for return, galena jumped in and was "trapped in the box for six days without food or water." so she wasn't just shipped to an amazon warehouse. she's also qualified to work there. [applause] meanwhile, in belgium, a 9-year old boy from derbyshire in the u.k., has won a european gull screeching championship, here he is in action. >> [cawing] [squawking]
11:57 pm
[applause] >> stephen: that's amazing! and he's so committed to authenticity, that immediately after the competition he ate a french fry under a dumpster, and then flew over the beach to crap in an old man's clam chowder. anyway, congratulations to this young man. he is really proving the truth of europe's slogan: "europe: look what we have time for when everyone has health care! oh! they're announcing best air guitar during a three-way!" meanwhile. [applause] three-way? three-way? meanwhile, america is facing a major cheese controversy because, for the first time, "a vegan cheese beat dairy in a big competition." oh, my god. you are never gonna hear the end of this from your insufferable vegan friend.
11:58 pm
[applause] the good food awards is an annual competition that awards foods that are good, and in january they announced this year's finalists for best cheese, among which was this vegan blue cheese. okay, they've clearly captured the look of real blue cheese. but have they captured the flavor of severed foot fished out of a canal? the vegan blue is the product of a company called climax foods. why? that is the most unnecessarily sexualized food company name since kyle's money shot hoagies. >> louis: wow. >> stephen: this was a major deal because the vegan cheese, while allowed in competition had until now never been good enough and a blind taste test to become
11:59 pm
a finalist. but then, just before the actual winner was to be announced, "the foundation quietly disqualified the vegan cheese," and when asked why, "declined to say." then the ceo of climax revealed that their vegan cheese "wasn't just a finalist. it was set to win the award, a fact that all parties were asked to keep confidential until the official ceremony!" really? really? you couldn't just let vegans have this one thing? they have no friends. they have no food. their bones have dissolved from lack of protein. you could yank out a femur and play it like a flute! and what's more... i wanna try it. let's see. here we go. let's do this right now. this is the actual cheese. i like it. you can really taste the foot.
