i'm your host, stephen colbert. all over america, millions of people are still marching to protest the murder of george floyd by minneapolis police and police brutality in black communities nationwide. over the weekend, we saw massive turnouts in cities like los angeles, washington, d.c., and philadelphia. that last one is particularly inspiring. because usually when you see a crowd that big in philadelphia, they're throwing batteries at the right fielder. protests have also been a daily occurrence in new york city, and on saturday, one of the largest was led by a familiar covered up face. >> welcome to certainly one of the more jubilant protests in new york city right now, a new orleans-style second line led by jon batiste, best known of stephen colbert's "late show." >> look at what we're doing. we're using music to bring people together of all races, of all genders for black lives. we have to get protests, and we have to get to voting. 100 million people did not vote in the last election. we are battling three ca

>> stephen: it does. you have to hit yourself in the face twice, hard enough to regret having done it.

>> hello, stephen. it's great to see you. >> stephen: i'm really enjoying the book. >> i'm glad you are. i can't believe you're holding it in your hands. >> stephen: i understand the presidency is the sexiest job in the government, but why did you want to write it? >> well, that's part of the problem is it's become too sexy, we focus on it too much. >> stephen: was it not sexy originally? >> well, you know, james k. polk-- it was so unsexy james k. polk's wife had them play "hail to the chief" so people would recognize him when he walked into the room. he had been speaker of the house. they should have known who he was. yet, she was worried he was diminutive and she was worried he would walk in the room and nobody would care. and now the president can't walk into the room without, you know, everybody stopping what they're doing. so, yes, it wasn't always a celebrity office. this started changing with teddy roosevelt, you know, who was just this dervish and then of course the television age changed it co

>> yeah. >> stephen: okay, later. later. welcome to "a late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. we've all been quarantining for months, and i've been going a little stir-crazy. but that's completely normal, according to my therapist, dr. kahlua. and the danger is not going to pass anytime soon, because 20 states are now seeing a rise in coronavirus cases, and "florida, texas, and arizona all just set records for the most cases they have reported in a single day." coronavirus is surging. or, as trump put it: >> the great american comeback. >> stephen: every epidemiologist warned us not to open up too soon. this is the most predictable health outcome since the c.d.c. published its landmark study "health projections and inflammation results of stickin' your penis in that hornet's nest." several states in the south and southwestern u.s. opened for business despite those warnings, and now covid is seeing a "steady spread across the sun belt." so the exact thing that we were told would happen is now happening, and you'd have to be a complete idiot to deny it. ( knocking ) wait, who's

i'm your host, stephen colbert. people are still protesting all across america, and i mean all across america. the only other thing americans agree on this much is pumpable cheese, which is only slightly less toxic than systemic racism. people are enraged by the murder of george floyd by a minneapolis police officer a little more than a week ago, and the fact that he was only charged with third-degree murder, and that the other cops on the scene weren't charged with anything at all. enter minnesota attorney general, keith ellison. ellison took over the case on sunday, and today he announced so, activism works. justice is possible. easy, peasy, hold protests for nine days straight in 380 american cities, squeezy. now, the night donald trump was elected, you might recall i was somewhat emotional. i started drinking, and someday i plan to stop. what i was worried about deep down is that trump is a dictator fanboy. he's a lifetime subscriber to "tiger beat down the protesters." now we're teetering dangerously close to t

i'm your host, stephen colbert. folks, the death of george floyd at the hands and other parts of minneapolis police has sparked nationwide protests demanding police reform, and there have l of as well, today, some of those were discussed where all good ideas go to die: the u.s. congress. the house judiciary committee held televised hearings on police reform. they heard from a variety of witnesses, including george floyd's brother, philonise; marc morial, the president of the national urban league; and fox news commentator dan bongino. evidently, the "my pillow" guy now, right off the beam, we heard from the ranking republican on the committee, ohio congressman and man stumped by doorknobs, jim jordan. in his opening statement, jordan quoted his favorite civil rights leader. >> president trump said this: "i stand before you as a friend and ally to every american seeking justice and peace, and i stand before you in firm opposition to anyone exploiting tragedy to loot, rob, attack and menace. healing not hatred. justic

stephen: dr. ian kim, a family physician in sacramento, is among more than 4,000 doctors across the country sounding an alarm about the spike in covid cases inside detention. ian: the vulnerable people held in those facilities will get sick, some of them will die. and not only that, but the staff who work there will also contract these infections, go home to their families and their communities. stephen: as an example, he points to a previous outbreak. five cases of the mumps spread from two detention centers in texas to 57 facilities across 19 states. ian: if and when it explodes with a covid-19 outbreak, that becomes the source of an outbreak that then infects the community, that ultimately overwhelms our hospital and the hospitals in the region. christina fialho: there's no reason to be imprisoning someone in immigration detention, especially right now. stephen: christian fialho, cofounder of freedom for immigrants, believes the solution to the crisis is to end detention because they're being h

stephen: well, mr. jefferson, it is quite clear you have extensive gardens here, and someone asks how many plants you have in the garden. mr. jefferson: how many plants do i have in the garden? i would reckon to say if you're speaking of flowers, upwards of 330 varieties. of vegetables, much near the same. the vegetables, i cultivate 1000 foot of garden divided into 24 sections in which i cultivate various vegetables, so to state them precisely, i daresay we would be here at the same spot through next week. next question. stephen: with such extensive flower and vegetable gardens, who maintains and creates the gardens here? mr. jefferson: you asked me who maintains all of this beauty that surrounds us. i know distinctly and properly. my people, the enslaved. all of what you see could not have been accomplished without their attentions, without their aid, without their artistry. i may have come up with some ideas, and many of them, of course, came to mind when i was in france and went through england and

joining us now is stephen gallo, dear pn head of ethics strategy at bmo capital markets -- stephen gallo. strategy at bmo capital markets. in generalty complex are not as high as we have seen. how sustainable are these moves? stephen: well, for the time being, they look pretty real, like the real thing. rather than just a fx markets are also trading. the drew -- june trade line in china, picked it up, meaning there are less likely to be dollar shortages. we are moving toward an excess of dollars, but is somewhat likely to happen with. the treasury is now over the coming weeks. and. that of course fiscal policy is because it looks increasingly like that will not be additional fiscal stimulus in the u.s. on this side of the election, and that, too, leaves more dollars sloshing around and doing nothing. the vaccine headline, as you rightly pointed out, is not hurting things, but this is a reflation trade and a liquidity trade more than anything else. yousef: yeah. stephen, so weakness in the greenback, that makes sense for the most part, but when we look at other key benchmarks when it come
