captioning sponsored by cbs >> president trump and michael bloomberg both plan to spend $10 million each for commercials during the big game. ( laughter ) ♪ ♪ >> hello? >> aaaah. >> aaaah. >> aaaah. >> aahhh. >> aahhh. >> so long, thanks. the call was a perfect call. >> it's "the late show with stephen colbert." tonight: world war free!

plus, stephen welcomes larry david and comedian pedro gonzalez featuring jon batiste and stay human. and now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, it's stephen colbert! ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: hello! >> stephen: how are you? hello, everybody. please, have a seat. ladies and gentlemen, welcome i am so happy-- you knowrt. what? i can tell you're happy. i'm happy to be here tonight. i'm happy here is here tonight because it was a little dicey

the last 24 hours. because remember when trump killed the top iranian general qassem soleimani and everybody was like, "is this world war iii?" well, i'm happy to announce it's not world war iii! it's not! ( cheers and applause ) i don't know if you can tell, but we made most of this graphic when we were a little more nervous. ( laughter ) but here's the thing. it's not world war iii, and that's wonderful. but it's not like nothing happened. last night, iran fired 22 missiles at two military bases in iraq where american troops are stationed. the attack happened at 5:30, and for hours, we knew nothing. then at 9:45 p.m. eastern time, our commander in chief tweeted at a worried nation, "all is well! ( laughter ) missiles launched from iran at two military bases located in iraq. assessment of casualties and damages taking place now. so far, so good! we have the most powerful and

well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! i will be making a statement tomorrow morning." well there tthere it is. notice you know. so important, so important. right there in black and white: reassurance from the commander in chief that there is absolutely nothing to worry- >> all is well! >> stephen: oh, no! it's "the late show's all is well" alarm! jon, quick! get the happiness football! quick! do you have your key, jon? >> jon: yes, yes. >> stephen: insert your key. insert your key. on my mark... 3... 2... 1.. ( alarm stops ) >> stephen: good work, jon. >> jon: man! >> stephen: thank you,( applaus) it's okay, folks. it's okay. we've achieved "defcon fine."

( laughter ) now, you'll remember, after the soleimani strike, trump tweeted a low-res image of an american flag. and i guess to drive home the point that this was retaliation, an iranian official tweeted this: they're fighting with clip art. can it's meme-- it's meme warfare. trump will have no choice but to hit back with, "ehrmagerd, we're at wehr!" nope! nope! nope! don't spoil me. then, as promised, this morning, trump emerged to address a worried world from what looked like a live nuclear reactor. ( laughter ) the president started his statement with a weirdly abrupt

greeting. >> as long as i am president of the united states, iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. good morning. ( laughter ) >> stephen: strange, very strange hello. ( as dentist ) "as long as i'm your dentist, your fillings will never be composed of mashed-up, other people's teeth. hello, i'm dr. ditworth." >> jon: oh, my gosh. >> stephen: trump was quick to dlaim victory. >> iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for all parties concerned, and a very good thing for the world. >> stephen: (as trump) "iran appears to be standing down. and thanks to an elaborate system of ropes, pulleys, and mirrors, i appear to be standing up." ( laughter ) "pretty good. thank you for your service, david copperfield." ( applause ) old reference. old reference.

of course, it wouldn't be a trump speech without some miss-speaching. >> the civilized world must send a clear and unified message to the iranian regime: your campaign of terror, murder, mayhem will not be tala-rided any longer. america's achieved energy independence. these historic accomplaments... chains our strategic priorities. it. >> stephen: rest easy, america. that is the man deciding who ligs and who dibes. so gm line-- and it's a very nice bottom line-- we're not at war. we're so not at war that there's big news about the british royal family. brace yourself: prince harry and meghan markle, the duke and duchess of sussex, have released a statement saying, "we intend to step back as 'senior' members of the royal family." that's right, harry and meghan are stepping down as senior

members of the royal family. do you have any idea what that means? because i have no idea what that means. i have-- there are senior levels of royal. >> jon: they have levels. >> stephen: i thought it went king, queen, prince and princess, jack of spades, boy wizard, dukes of hazzard, and then cartoon mouse that sews cinderella's dress. ( laughter ) according to the couple's statement, they're withdrawing from some of their official duties and now plan to balance their time between the united kingdom and north america. i say, "welcome, meghan and harry. on behalf of all former rebels against the british crown, you're going to love declaring independence. it comes with free speech and unlimited breadsticks." ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) what's not to like? >> jon: you've got tow love

it. >> stephen: decrowning themselves will bring some big life changes, because it will allow harry and meghan to work for money, something they currently can't do. this is great. she's an actress. this means meghan markle can go back to "suits!" and harry can sell them at men's wearhouse! ( laughter ) this came-- this came as-- i'd buy a suit from him, sure! this came as a shock to everyone. one bbc journalist reports, "no other member of the royal family was consulted before harry and meghan issued their personal statement tonight. the palace is understood to be disappointed." oh, disappointed. trans: that means her majesty is queen eliza-piiiisssed! with any luck, harry and megan will be back across the pond in el.and democrats-- ( applause ) of choices out there-- hello. still don't know who that is.

i still don't know who that is. last week, they went down to a ton minus one, because former housing and urban development secretary julian castro announced he was ending his campaign. so it is time to say goodbye to secretary castro. okay. wait a second! is that his twin, joaquin castro? you guys can't "parent trap" us! get out of here! of course, as some folks leave the race, others jump right in. the most recent to join was former new york mayor and man with monogrammed seat belt bowtie, in case his neck is in an descent, michael bloomberg. if you have a tv, you may have heard of him, because bloomberg has spent a staggering $100 million on campaign ads in one month. he's hoping he can get elected just by being recognized from tv ads, which is why the frontrunner for his v.p. slot is

the mucinex mucus blob. ( laughter ) he just announced his biggest ad buy of all. bloomberg's campaign has purchased a 60-second ad during next month's super bowl. we don't know what the commercial is going to look like yet. so far, all we know is that, "the biggest point is getting under trump's skin." good luck. ache supprela.nd)us nice a nice goal, but that stuff's tougher than the rind on a butternut squash. but just hours after bloomberg's campaign announced their ad buy, trump announced he was also dropping $10 million on a super bowl ad. well, i have something to say to politicians of all parties: get n't wantsee politicis. ( cheers and applause ) that's not what the day is for. i don't want to see candidates

for political office. i only want to see friendships between horses and puppies and inter-racial couples enjoying cereal. i want to cry because of a truck! the man loves that truck so that man loves that truck so much. and highs in the truck with another man who loves the truck. and the other man is his father. they both love the truck so much. >> audience: oooh! >> stephen: i love you, truck. in other democrat news, last night, elizabeth warren held a big rally in brooklyn, and from the looks of it, she had a great time. check out her moves: ♪ ♪ ♪ just a little bit hey, baby ♪ just a little bit >> stephen: wow, she's rocking a real "every chaperone at the

eighth grade dance" vibe. ♪ ♪ "vogue" recently where they asked about her signature look: black pants, black shirt, and solid-colored sweaters and blazers. or, as "vogue" for some reason put it, warren's closets, kept in spectral order, look like mr sgers. edtret'ssch acros but-- spoiler alert-- it's the shocking ending of "a beautiful day in the neighborhood." ( laughter ) we also-- it's king friday. that's king friday's dudgeon. the idea is-- ♪ ♪ thank you! we also got the fourth-quarter fundraising numbers this week, and they're good for the democratic party, because in 2019, if you combine all ofthdeb yeah, put them together. he just put them together. clearly, in 2020, trump stands

no chance against democrazoid. ( laughter ) much of that fundraising came from mr. bernie sanders, who, in the fourth quarter alone, raised $34.5 million. ( applause ) yeah. and bernie has plans to use it. while other democratic candidates are stuck in d.c. for the senate's impeachment trial, bernie plans on attending rallies after hours by hopping on private jets. now, as someone who has flown on a private jet, let me assure you, those things will knock the socialism right out of you. ( as bernie ) "equality for all! for too long, the billionaire class has-- wait. we get to drive up straight to the plane, and i can keep my shoes on? the bottom 99% can redistribute 100% of their lips to my butt! i am balling out on the g6!" shake it up, ladies. i knot a lot of money. i'm raining honey roast peanuts

( band playing ) ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: jon batiste and stay human, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) jon, what a lovely night. what a lovely night. beautiful evening in here. and one of the things that's going to make it beautiful tonight is our guest tonight is the wonderful, the talented larry david is going to be out

here. and serendipitously, tomorrow our guest is bernie sanders. >> jon: oh, yeah, bernie sanders is going to be in here. >> stephen: so tomorrow night when you're watching bernie sanders, don't think it's a rerun of larry david. >> jon: oh, no, no. >> stephen: it's not. a lot of people make that mistake. >> jon: it's very confusing. >> stephen: we all know what a huge impact facebook had on trump getting elected in 2016. and the dangers of facebook's power have just been addressed in a newly released internal guy about to rap about fractions, andrew bosworth. in his memo, bosworth acknowledged that facebook had been late to address the issues of data security, misinformation, and foreign interference. you're not late if you've never started. you just announced facebook won't stop running political ads and won't stop candidates from lying in them. that's why we're still seeing

ads for bernie sanders' "one weird trick to lose belly fat." ( laughter ) he looks good. he looks good. >> jon: mmm! >> stephen: now, despite facebook doing jack-all about being a tool to help trump, and bosworth saying he wants trump to lose, bosworth doesn't want to do anything rash, such as "anything," writing, "facebook has a moral duty not to tilt the he seeksgainst trump as re-election." adding, he "found himself wanting to use the social network's powerful platformagt feels tempted to do so, "i find myself thinking of 'the lord of the rings' at this moment specifically, when frodo offers the ring to galaial, and she imagines using the power righteously at first, but knows it will eventually corrupt her." okay, look, i get what you're trying to say here: you don't want to use evil to defeat evil,

but... galadri-"al"?! come on, man! it's galad of the woods, lady of lorien,dylariel the valley of the singing gold. one of the three elfen rings of power. galadriel. galadri-"al" sounds like the elf that runs a radiator repair shop in rivendell: "no way i can do it before tuesday. sorry about that." before we go on, i want to?mi you're on my turf defending the president of the united states. a man we can best describe as morgoth's left nard. oh, you t kn who morgoth is?apu knowy valar name, melkor? brother of manwe. no? then buckle up, mellon, because i'm about to school the shire out of you. ( cheers and applause )

facebook-- facebook-- facebook is an all-powerful device used by the forces of evil to corrupt men,o it less like t one ring a more ke the nine rings that turned the fallen kings into the nazgul before binding their fate to that of the dark lord sauron. oh, and, also, unlike you, galadriel doesn't collect a weekly paycheck from the ring. now, go back to the shadow. because your excuses shall not pass!

trumpand total disaster.mplete let obamacare implode. nurse: these wild attacks on healthcare hurt the patients i care for. i've been a nurse in new york for thirty years. i know the difference leadership can make because i saw what mike bloomberg did as mayor. vo: mayor bloomberg helped lower the number of uninsured by 40%, covering 700,000 more new yorkers, life expectancy increased.

he helped expand health coverage to 200,000 more kids and upgraded pediatric care--- infant mortality rates dropped to record lows. and as mayor, mike bloomberg always championed reproductive health for women. so when you hear mike bloomberg on health care... mrb: this is america. we can certainly afford to make sure that everybody that needs to see a doctor can see a doctor, everybody that needs medicines to stay healthy can get those medicines. nurse: you should know, he did it as mayor, he'll get it done as president. mrb: i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message.

( applause ) >> thank you. i am the fifth pedro gonzalez in my family. but i am the first one who gets to speak into a microphone without plexiglass in front. ( laughter ) ( applause ) that's a good thing! thank you. when i was born, my mom was 16, and my dad was 26. so i am my mom's firstborn, and my dad's first felony. ( laughter ) just kidding. just kidding. he'd been to jail before. ( laughter ) but it's a cute joke! ( laughter ) i have a hook nose. so when i was a child mierk mom would massage my nose every night for five minutes to make it straight. so, like, if you get really,

really, really close to me and you look, you'll see i have a very little self-esteem. ( laughter ) ( applause ) when i was growing up in colombia, they did a colombian version of "who wants to be a millionaire?" but they forgot millions and pesos and dollars is very different. so the first contestant they ever had, won 300,000 million pesos. the next day they had to change the name of the game to, "who wants to get kidnapped right after the show?" ( applause ) just one episode. ( laughter ) i like music. i think music creates memories that you never forget, like the first time you did something. like, do you guys, for example, remember the exact song that was playing the moment when you lost your... niece at the mall?

for me, it was feliz navidad. ( laughter ) ( applause ) i got a masters in literature when i was only 22. and i got a job teaching college. but because i was so immature, i made a mistake. i slept with one of my students. but it was a community college, and she was 47. so... ( laughter ) ( applause ) who took advantage of whom, really? ( laughter ) i think i was the victim. she didn't break the law, but she broke my heart. i... i have done online dating. a lot of people think online dating is weird, but to me online dating is just like looking for a job on the internet, you know? i send out 100 applications, and

nobody replies because my name is pedro. and the firstngon't tnhi go on a democratic with you if you're below six feet. it's like, have you dating killer in the news last week-- six foot, super jacked. it's so dangerous to go out with a guy like that. i started using that to my advantage and posting my height and weight-- 5'8", 145 pounds, and too weak to strangle anyone. hashtag ttle spoon. ( applause ) thank you. thank you. ever since i moved to the united states, i've only dated white women. "wre racistk and latino friends you don't ligekead m us?" i said, "no, i'm so bland, you guys don't like me." white women are the only ones i

can trick into thinking i have flavor. i'm like the which chipotle of. just cheddar, really. just cheddar. but i found someone. she had this beautiful apartment in midtown manhattan they moved into for the time we dated. the first time i moved it, i had to meet her father. hhe said, i'll be honest with you, i don't like hispanics because you come to this country and live off the government. i said, sir, i'll you have know i'm hispanic and i don't live off the government. i live off your daughter. so get out of my house!
