need. little wea captioning sponsored by cbs >> on the path toward denuclearization in north korea there seems to be some major bumps in the road. it's been less than a month after donald trump and kim jung-un met in a whirlwind summer but now tensions are flairing again. >> glorious peoples of north korea, the trump-kim relationship is on the rocks. i found out that he has been too-timing me with another dictator. they will be all summiting together and stuff. what gives, don? i gave you my heart. you gave me this elton john cd signed if the by elton john.

did our summit meanng we shook hands for a really long time. that's like, diplomacy third base. but i guess it was just whim, bim, thank you kim. all i have left is our memories. oh, and of course all my nuclear weapons. >> it's the late show with stephen colbert! tonight a supreme disappointment. plus stephen welcomes gordon ramsay, andrew rannells and musical guest junun with ben tzur, jonny greenwood and rajasthan and jon batiste. and now live from the ed sullivan theater it is stephen colbert! (cheers and applause)

>> stephen: thanks, folks. please, have a seat. too kind. welcome, ladies and gentlemen to the late show. i'm your host stephen colbert. (cheers and applause) well, folks, it's happened. donald trump has announced his pick for the supreme court. one assumes. (laughter) we taped this show a few hours before the announcement so no one tell me how roe v. wade ends. but using cutting edge technology, i will now reveal donald trump's pick. the president nominated. >> u.s. court of appeals for the district of columbia brett kavanaugh. >> stephen: man, wow, i did not expect him to nominate that guy, girl or fast food mascot.

(laughter) wow, it's really just anybody's guess at this point because on sunday afternoon he still had not made his final decision on a supreme court nominee. we've all been there. (laughter) it's sunday night, you got a supreme court nomination due, (laughter) but you are procrastinating. >> i don't feel like doing this tonight. why can't i just nominate neil gorsuch again. give him two votes, double stuffed judge. (laughter) but trump swears es sea taking the task seriously. today he tweeted. >> i -- that the most important decision a u.s. president can make is the selection of a supreme court justice. >> stephen: what do you mean you have long heard. are you still asking people what your job is? what, supreme court, budget meetings. i only took this gig so i could

nail marilyn monroe. wait, she's what? you you know, he didn't know. thank you. you know-- you know-- wow, summer time audiences are nice. you know trump considers it a crucial decision because yesterday while he was at his country club in bedminster, the injuriesy white house as no one calls it,-- jersey white house, as no one calls it, he was being advised by sean hannity. no, no, it's very common. presidents have always relied on the advice of tv personalities. reagan only supported the contras after the weekend summit he had with alf. (laughter) and apparently hannity got some bang for his blather because reporters are that some white house aidees are annoyed trump is announcing his scotus pick at

9 p.m. in order to help sean hannity's rating. wow, wow, and with an episode that big there is no way trump is going to miss it. look, i am honored to announce that i hearby nominate-- hold on, hannity's on. , oh, he's got trump. he's announcing something. i don't know what. he's pausing, he's pausing right now-- i-- i do not trust that guy. well, we'll have more on this continuing story as-- as america continues? (laughter) now while we were on break, trump had another rally. this time in montana, in montana. and he went off script and on crazy. he just road crazy off a cliff into beautiful coo coo canyon,

for one thing, he attacked elizabeth warren's claim of her native american heritage. >> let's say i'm debating pocahontas, right? i promise you i will do, this i will take-- you know those kits they sell on television for $2, learn your heritage. we will take that little kit and say, but we have to do it gently, because we're in the metoo generation. so we have to be very gentle. and we will say, i will give you a million dollars to your favorite charity paid for by trump if you take the test and it shows you are an indian. >> stephen: and trump is a real expert on dna tests. he has performed dozens of them. >> look, take it a again, eric, there's got to be a mistake. (cheers and applause) >> stephen: so crazy stuff, but i know what are you saying.

you are saying stephen, did he ramble for two straight minutes about elton john, hockey and brains? let's find out. >> i have broken more elton john records. he seems to have a lot of records. and we beat-- and i by the way, i don't vay musical instrument, i don't have a guitar or organ, no organ, elton has an organ. and lots of other people helping. no, we have broken a lot of records, we have brocken virtually every record because you know look, i only need this face. they need much more room. for basketball, for hockey, for all the sports they need a lot of room, we don't need t we have people in that space so we break all these records. but really, we do it without like the musical instruments. this is the only musical, the mouth. and hopefully the brain attached to the mouth, right? the brain, more important than the mouth is the brain. the brain is much more important. >> stephen: and in a few hours

the brain that formed that sentence will be picking the next supreme court justice. and hey, hey, for no reason, remember when people were thinking trump's brain might be on the frits but then his-- fritz but then his doctor ronny jackson said it want because trump took a test where he successfully identified a camel. but then dr. ronny turned out to be a pill popping deal that drank on the job but we never sent in another nonpill doctor to test trump's brain? remember that? >> jon: yeah, yeah. >> stephen: something got me think being that. now we have to remember this is the president of the united states talking. and i, frankly, do not feel qualified to respond to his elton john brain speech. so i have decided to bring in someone who is more qualified in our new segment "the late show's counterpoint from a man who just got hit on the head with a sack of bricks."

(laughter) (cheers and applause) good evening, children. you know president donald turn i said a lot of good things on that loud place. yes, the brain is the captain of the mouth but did he ever stop to consider that the hands don't know what the eyes can see or hear? you know shaquille o'neal broke a lot of back boards but had to break a lot of legs but do i it alone with no knees, no knees. and then there are clouds, they're big, they're small, they rain, they snow, pick a lane. in concussion. there's no way i could be the devil because i done see a ring on this finger. now if you excuse me, have i to go i just found out that i am trump's supreme court nominee.

wilford brimley and you didn't even notice. right there. hey,-- for those of us in the media, this ongoing staff purge is -- is amazing to watch. it's like a form of blood support. we ever we're riffity-- rivetted it is like something out of the hunger games. no, wait! it is the hungary to leave power games. -- hungry to leave power games. yes, hello! welcome. welcome citizens, one and all to the hungry to leave power games! oh, hmmmm, someone is getting erased. come caligula. come boy, yes, yes, down, down.

tonight, citizens, we honor epa head scott pruitt. a man whose only flaw was being terrible. (laughter) s ahead of the epa pruitt had a passion for protecting our nation's fragile industrialists. early on he met privately with the ceo of dow chemical whereupon he decided to approve chorpyrifos, the pesticide that health studies showed can harm children's brains, which is not evil, according to anyone who has been huffing chorpyrifos. (laughter) do we have, do we have-- yes, hmmmm, hmmmm, hmmmm, hmmmm. hmmmm, hmmmm, yes, i can really smell the, i can't read. (laughter) oh, wow, do you know it is important, if are you going to spray yourself in the face with a mist. take off your glasses. that's the key.

(applause). >> stephen: aha!, this is why, this is is why you do this [bleep] in rehearsal. hmmmm, i can feel the brain damage already. (laughter) then, then citizens, then, no, no, no, no, are you on the wagon. now then scotty spent millions of taxpayer cash on security, first class travel including unnecessary trips to italy and more oako not to mention spending $1500 on 12 customized fountain pens from a jewelry store, pricey, yes. but you need only the finest pen when this is your signature. is it me or does that look like scott penis? yes. (applause)

it is like deep down he knows he's a dick. ha ha. it's a cry for help! (laughter) now are they-- nope, still no, all right. pruitt, pruitt also bought a 4 3,000 dollar sound proof phone booth. i get trk we all have to make embarrassing phone calls to our doctors. hello? hello, this is scott penis, i've got a burning rash on my pruitt. (laughter) scott, scott also had his security detail run errands for him including picking up his dry cleaning and taking him in search of his favorite moisturizing lotions at the ritz carlton. getting a hotel room for the moisturizer is like having a baby so people will give you free socks. doesn't he know they just fill up those little bottles from a big lotion jug. grab t andn, stt,

(laughter) but pruitt wasn't just in this for himself. no, because he used his position to try to get a chick-fill-a franchise for his wife which reminded me, andro! (laughter) andro, this is andro my tongueless man servant. andro, andro! sad news. i was unable to secure you a carl's, jr. franchise. don't cry, shhh. shhh, no, shhh. but did you go by the arby's and grand me a handful of their delicious horsy lotions? oh yes, oh good, yes, got to stay moist, must moisturize. oh yes. hmmmm, hmmmm, hmmmm. hmmmm hmmmm. yes, hmmmm, hmmmm, stay focused.

stay focused. don't you look at me. don't you look at me! don't you look-- shhh. yes, quickly now. go, go, i will give you a 20 minute head start no edge weapons. again, there is a reason why you are supposed to use these in rehearsal. (laughter) deferl improved the smell. unfortunately pruitt was forced to resign last week after the news came out that earlier this year pruitt directly appealed to president donald trump to fire attorney general jeff sessions and let pruitt run the department of justice instead. i'm so sorry, scottment can i only imagine how great their pens were. but freuity-- pruitt was ever gracious in defeat writing in his resignation letter to president trump my desire and service to you has always been to bless you.

i believe you're serving as president today because of god's providence. i pray as i have served you, that i have blessed you. you must admire a man whose willing to pucker up and smooch the old bless-hole. (laughter) [bleep] now it's time to bid secretary preuity a symbolic farewell. we will send him down the toxic river in his very own sound proof booth. there you go. good-bye, scott. there you are, in your booth. there you go. of course with a generous-- there you go. there you go. there you go. have some of that. there you go.
