>> Announcer: IT'S "A LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT." TONIGHT:
PLUS STEPHEN WELCOMES
GAYLE KING
AND MUSICAL GUESTS BTS
FEATURING JON BATISTE AND STAY HUMAN.
AND NOW, LIVE ON TAPE FROM THE ED SULLIVAN THEATER OFFICE BUILDING IN NEW YORK CITY, IT'S
STEPHEN COLBERT!
>> Stephen: HI! HEY, THERE! WELCOME TO "A LATE SHOW."
I'M YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT.
TONIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I
AM LASER FOCUSED ON THE BIGGEST
STORY TODAY, WHICH IS FROM
YESTERDAY, WHICH IS THAT THREE
WEEKS FROM NOW, ON JUNE 14, "THE
LATE SHOW" IS COMING BACK TO THE
ED SULLIVAN THEATER IN A
TRIUMPHANT RETURN WE'RE CALLING
"THE LATE SHOW VAX IN ACTION: AN
IMMUNITY THEATER PRODUCTION OF
THE STATE OF REUNION, WITH A
LIVE BODY-ODY-AUDIENCE!"
I AM SO EXCITED.
AND, APPARENTLY, SO ARE YOU,
BECAUSE LAST NIGHT, AT 11:40,
TICKETS WENT LIVE ON OUR
WEBSITE, AND WE GOT OVER 20,000
REQUESTS IN THE FIRST 20
MINUTES.
1,000 CLICKS A MINUTE!
WHAT AM I, KOREAN SUPER-GROUP
BTS?
NO, BUT THEY ARE MY GUESTS
TONIGHT.
LOVE.
( LAUGHTER )
SO, WHILE WE'RE ALREADY SOLD OUT
FOR JUNE, SCIENTISTS ARE
PREDICTING A SURGE OF OTHER
MONTHS LATER THIS YEAR.
SO IF YOU'RE FULLY VACCINATED,
GO AHEAD AND BOOKMARK THIS LINK
FOR TICKETS, AND COME WATCH THE
SHOW IN PERSON.
THE FIRST TWO ROWS WILL GET
PONCHOS, BECAUSE I WILL BE
OPENLY WEEPING WITH JOY.
NOW, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
SPREADING THE NEWS ABOUT ME.
THIS MORNING, POLITICO'S NEW
YORK PLAYBOOK PLUGGED OUR SHOW,
BUT-- AND THIS IS REAL-- THEY
RAN IT WITH A SMALL TYPO.
IT'S SUBTLE, BUT SEE IF YOU CAN
SPOT IT:
"STEPHEN COLBERT'S 'LATE SHOW'
WILL RETURN ANTI-SEMITIC, ALL-
VACCINATED STUDIO AUDIENCE ON
JUNE 14."
( LAUGHTER )
WHAT!?
THAT IS HORRIBLE AND TOTALLY
WRONG.
OUR AUDIENCE WILL NOT BE
ANTI-SEMITIC.
I'M NOT SURE WHERE THIS CAME
FROM, BUT I'LL CHECK WITH OUR
NEW PUBLICIST, MARJORIE TAYLOR
GREENE.
SPEAKING OF WHOM, GEORGIA
REPRESENTATIVE MARJORIE TAYLOR
GREENE, SEEN HERE, I'M GOING TO
SAY... FLIRTING?
GREENE IS A QANON-BELIEVING,
PROFESSIONAL TROLL WHOSE ONLY
MOTIVATION IS MAKING PEOPLE TALK
ABOUT HER.
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT HER.
LATE LAST WEEK, GREENE WENT ON A
CONSERVATIVE PODCAST TO COMPLAIN
ABOUT THE HOUSE'S MASK MANDATE
AND MADE A PRETTY TROUBLING
COMPARISON.
>> YOU KNOW, WE CAN LOOK BACK IN
A TIME IN HISTORY WHERE PEOPLE
WERE TOLD TO WEAR A GOLD STAR,
AND THEY WERE DEFINITELY TREATED
LIKE SECOND-CLASS CITIZENS, SO
MUCH SO THAT THEY WERE PUT IN
TRAINS AND TAKEN TO GAS CHAMBERS
IN NAZI GERMANY.
AND THIS IS EXACTLY THE TYPE OF
ABUSE THAT NANCY PELOSI IS
TALKING ABOUT.
>> Stephen: COUNTERPOINT: NO
IT'S NOT.
GREENHAS UNLEASHED A FIRESTORM
OF CRITICISM FOR HER COMMENT SO
THIS WEEKEND SHE DOUBLED DOWN.
>> I SAID NOTHING WRONG.
AND I THINK ANY RATIONAL JEWISH
PERSON DIDN'T LIKE WHAT HAPPENED
IN NAZI GERMANY, AND ANY
RATIONAL JEWISH PERSON DOESN'T
LIKE WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH
OVERBEARING MASK MANDATES AND
OVERBEARING VACCINE POLICIES.
( AS GREENE )
"AND I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE
MANY RATIONAL JEWISH PEOPLE.
HOW ELSE WOULD THEY BE
ABLE TO CREATE THEIR FOREST FIRE
SPACE LASERS?"
SHE GOT A LOT OF CRITICISM FOR
THAT, TOO.
SO THIS MORNING, SHE TRIPLED
DOWN WITH THIS UNPARSEABLE
CLICKBAIT WORD PUDDING:
"VACCINATED EMPLOYEES GET A
VACCINATION LOGO, JUST LIKE THE
NAZI'S FORCED JEWISH PEOPLE TO
WEAR A GOLD STAR.
VACCINE PASSPORTS AND MASK
MANDATES CREATE DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST UNVAXXED PEOPLE WHO
TRUST THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEMS TO
A VIRUS THAT IS 99% SURVIVABLE."
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GUESSING IS
NOT 99% SURVIVABLE?
COMPARING MASK MANDATES TO THE
HOLOCAUST.
BUT THE REAL VILLAINS HERE, OF
COURSE, ARE THE G.O.P. LEADERS
WHO HAVE SAT BACK AND SAID
NOTHING FOR FIVE DAYS.
THOUGH, FINALLY, TODAY, HOUSE
MINORITY LEADER KEVIN McCARTHY
ATTEMPTED TO DISTANCE HIMSELF
FROM GREENE'S STATEMENTS, AND
SHE RESPONDED BY RETWEETING A
SUPPORTER, DESCRIBING KEVIN
McCARTHY AS A "MORON" AND
A "FECKLESS C-WORD."
OKAY, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY CHA
C-WORD THAT IS.
CONSERVATIVE?
CAPRICORN?
BUT "FECKLESS" IS COMPLETELY
UNFAIR!
KEVIN McCARTHY HAS PLENTY OF
FECK.
I'D EVEN GO SO FAR AS TO SAY
HE'S FECKED IN THE HEAD.
HE CAN ACTUALLY GO FECK HIMSELF.
( LAUGHTER )
OH, IN RICH PEOPLE NEWS, LET'S
TURN TO AMAZON C.E.O. AND MAN
WELCOMING YOU TO HIS POLYAMOROUS
JUICE-MAKING COMMUNE, JEFF
BEZOS.
THE LATEST BEZOS NEWS-OS IS THAT
AMAZON IS NEARING A DEAL TO BUY
THE HOLLYWOOD STUDIO MGM.
THAT IS SUCH A BILLIONAIRE MOVE.
NEXT, HE'S GOING TO BUY KELLOG'S
JUST SO HE CAN MAKE THE MGM LION
FIGHT TONY THE TIGER.
THE PRICE TAG IS ALMOST
$9 BILLION AND WOULD GIVE AMAZON
A TREASURE TROVE OF SHOWBIZ
TITLES, INCLUDING THE JAMES BOND
FRANCHISE.
FIRST UP, CHANGING "DIE ANOTHER
DAY" TO "DIE IN TWO DAYS FREE
WITH AMAZON PRIME!"
IN FACT, ALL OF MGM'S CLASSIC
MOVIES ARE BEING UPDATED FOR
AMAZON, LIKE "THE WIZARD OF OZ."

>> GUESS WHAT THE CAT DRAGGED IN? $9 BILLION.
I'M RICH!

I'M ABOUT TO BE A SEA LION
BECAUSE DADDY'S GETTING A BRAND
NEW YACHT.
DON'T WORRY, I'VE BEEN ASSURED
MY REPLACEMENT IS PERFECTLY
CAPABLE OF CARRYING ON MY
LEGACY.
>> ROAR, ROAR.
( LAUGHTER )
AND BASISOSE REALLY WANTS MGM,
BECAUSE HE'S DROPPING THAT
9 BILLION ON IT, EVEN THOUGH
INSIDERS BELIEVE THE STUDIO IS
ONLY "WORTH ABOUT $5 BILLION."
JEFF!
THAT'S WAY TOO MUCH!
DIDN'T YOU CHECK ON THE
RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF TH PRODUCT
PAGE?
YOU COULD HAVE BOUGHT IT USED
FROM OTHER SELLERS.
SO, WHY WOULD ONE OF THE WORLD'S
RICHEST MEN PAY ALMOST TWICE THE
VALUE FOR A STRUGGLING MOVIE
STUDIO THAT RECENTLY WENT
BANKRUPT?
WELL, COULD BE THAT JEFF BEZOS
HAS AN ONGOING FEUD WITH THE
FORMER PRESIDENT GENGHIS CON.
AND GUESS WHAT?
ALL THE OUTTAKES FROM "THE
APPRENTICE" ARE OWNED BY MGM.
HOLY MOTHER OF DVD EXTRAS!
THE PRIVATE FOOTAGE OF A TV
BILLIONAIRE IS GOING TO BELONG
TO AN ACTUAL BILLIONAIRE!
YOU SEE, FOR YEARS, THERE HAVE
BEEN ALLEGATIONS ABOUT OUT-TAKES
FROM "THE APPRENTICE" WHERE
THE SLOB FATHER USES RACIST
LANGUAGE, INCLUDING BY ACTOR TOM
ARNOLD, WHO SAYS HE SAW IT
PERSONALLY.
>> I'VE SEEN A COMPILATION TAPE
THAT MY BUDDY SHARED WITH ME.
HE SAYS THE N-WORD.
HE SAYS-- HE CALLS ERIC THE
R-WORD.
IT WAS HIM SITTING IN THAT CHAIR
SAYING THE N-WORD, SAYING THE
C-WORD.
HE SAYS EVERY BAD THING EVER,
EVERY DIRTY, EVERY OFFENSIVE,
RACIST THING EVER.
>> Stephen: SO, ON BRAND.
AND IF THIS IS TRUE, SOMEDAY
SOON, BEZOS MAY RELEASE THE MOST
RACIST THING IN THE MGM CATALOG,
OTHER THAN "GONE WITH THE WIND."
BECAUSE THESE TAPES HAVE NEVER
BEEN MADE PUBLIC, BUT NOW MOUNT
FLUSHMORE'S ARCH-NEMESIS OWNS IT
ALL!
AND I AM HERE FOR IT.
BEZOS COULD RELEASE IT ALL ON
AMAZON PRIME AS THE FOLLOW-UP TO
FLEABAG:
D-BAG.
( LAUGHTER )
OH, SPEAKING OF D-BAGS, KENTUCKY
SENATOR AND MAN EXAGGERATING
HOW MANY FRIENDS HE HAS, RAND
PAUL.
YESTERDAY, THE SENATOR RECEIVED
A SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE FILLED WITH
WHITE POWDER.
IT WAS SUSPICIOUS BECAUSE IT
DIDN'T COME FROM DON JR.
THE PACKAGE INCLUDED A
THREATENING MESSAGE, WITH AN
IMAGE OF THE SENATOR IN A NECK
BRACE AND WITH A CAST ON HIS ARM
ABOVE TEXT READING, "I'LL FINISH
WHAT YOUR NEIGHBOR STARTED, YOU
(BLEEP)."
THE MESSAGE REFERS TO A 2017
INCIDENT IN WHICH RAND PAUL
STEPPED OFF A RIDING LAWN MOWER
AS THE MAN WHO LIVED NEXT DOOR
CHARGED AND TACKLED HIM.
OF COURSE, NEIGHBORS GET IN
FIGHTS ALL THE TIME.
WE ALL REMEMBER THAT ONE EPISODE
OF "HOME IMPROVEMENT."
NOW, LET ME BE CLEAR ABOUT
SOMETHING.
I'M NO FAN OF RAND PAUL.
HE TRIED TO SELL ME WEED
BACKSTAGE HERE ONE NIGHT.
BUT THERE IS NEVER ANY EXCUSE
FOR VIOLENCE OR THREATS OF ANY
KIND AT ANY TIME AGAINST ANYONE
FOR ANY REASON.
THAT IS NOT HOW WE SETTLE
CONFLICTS IN A FREE SOCIETY.
WE DO THAT WITH LIP SYNC
BATTLES.
LL COOL J DECIDES THE WINNER.
IT'S IN THE CONSTITUTION.
AUTHORITIES DON'T KNOW WHO SENT
THE PACKAGE, BUT RAND PAUL IS
BLAMING POP SINGER RICHARD MARX.
WAIT, THE WHAT?
THE GUY WHO SANG "ENDLESS
SUMMER NIGHTS"?
THIS IS THE MOST UNEXPECTED ACT
OF VIOLENCE SINCE HALL & OATES
THREW BABY JESSICA DOWN A WELL.
HERE'S RAND PAUL'S CHAIN OF
LOGIC: SUNDAY, MARX TWEETED,
"IF I EVER MEET RAND PAUL'S
NEIGHBOR, I'M GOING TO HUG HIM
AND BUY HIM AS MANY DRINKS AS HE
CAN CONSUME."
THAT LED RAND PAUL TO COMPLAIN
"JUST THIS WEEKEND, RICHARD MARX
CALLED FOR VIOLENCE AGAINST ME
AND I RECEIVED THIS
POWDER-FILLED LETTER.
"CALLED FOR VIOLENCE"?
IT WAS A CALL TO BUY SOMEONE A
DRINK.
BUT I GET IT.
RICHARD MARX HAS OVER 300,000

AFTER CASE, THAT HASH TAG LIST
IS STILL GROWING, BUT AT LEAST
THE CONVERSATION IS STILL VERY
FRONT AND CENTER.
WHEN I WAS IN MINNEAPOLIS, I GOT
TO TO GO TO GEORGE FLOYD SQUARE.
I WANTED TO SEE FOR MYSELF.
I WENT INTO THE CUP FOODS, AND I
WANTED TO SEE WHAT THAT WAS LIKE
AND IT WAS A VACRED SPACE.
AND I DON'T WANT TO LOSE SIGHT
OF WHAT IS AT STAKE HERE.
WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO
DO.
>> Stephen: PRESIDENT BIDEN
HOSTED GEORGE FLOYD'S FAMILY
TODAY AT THE WHITE HOUSE, BUT
THE GEORGE FLOYD JUSTICE IN
POLICING ACT, I BELIEVE IT'S
CALLED, HAS YET TO PASS
CONGRESS.
DO YOU-- AS YOU SAY, IT HASN'T
CHANGED YET.
DO YOU HAVE HOPE THAT THE-- THE
MOVEMENT THIS SPARKED WILL
CONTINUE, THE PRESSURE WILL
CONTINUE, AND THERE WILL
ACTUALLY BE THIS KIND OF
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE THAT'S
NECESSARY?
>> WELL, I'LL TELL YOU THIS, I
DON'T SEE ANY SIGNS OF PEOPLE
LETTING UP ON THE CONVERSATION.
I DON'T SEE PEOPLE THINKING
THAT-- I DON'T SEE PEOPLE
RETREATING FROM THIS.
WE HAD SENATOR CORY BOOKER ON
THIS MORNING WHO IS VERY
INVOLVED WITH THIS.
AND TIM SCOTT, WHO, AS YOU KNOW,
IS A DEMOCRAT, SENATOR TIM SCOTT
IS A REPUBLICAN.
THEY'RE BOTH BLACK MEN, AS YOU
KNOW, AND AS CORY POINTED OUT,
THEY HAVE LIFE EXPERIENCES IN
DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE WITH THE
POLICE.
AND I THINK FOR THE FIRST TIME
THAT MAYBE, MAYBE IT'S GAINING
TRACTION ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
AISLE WITH THE TWO OF THEM
WORKING TOGETHER.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.
IF WE CAN'T LEAD TO CHANGE AFTER
WHAT WE WITNESSED WITH GEORGE
FLOYD AND WE'RE WITNESSING WITH
RONALD GREEN, I HONESTLY DON'T
KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE.
THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN POLICING
AND REFORMS AND THESE KIND OF
BILLS SINCE RODNEY KING.
SO NOW I THINK THAT WE'RE AT A
PLACE WHERE LEAST PEOPLE ARE
PAYING ATTENTION AND YOU'VE GOT
PEOPLE-- BLACK AND WHITE-- ON
BOTH SIDESFUL AISLE.
BUT IT'S AN UPHILL CLIMB STILL.
AND IT SADDENS ME THAT WE'RE
STILL SITTING HERE IN 2021
HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.
>> Stephen: WELL, SPEAKING OF
2021, NEXT WEEK MARKS THE
100th ANNIVERSARY OF THE
TULSA MASSACRE.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: WHEN HUNDREDS OF--
>> ANOTHER TRAVESTY.
>> Stephen: THREE-- AT LEAST
300 PEOPLE, BLACK MEMBERS OF THE
TULSA-- CITIZENS OF TULSA WERE
KILLED, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT
NEXT MONDAY, YOU'RE GOING TO BE
HOSTING-- ANCHORING A SPECIAL
ABOUT IT.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT?
>> YEAH, ON THE 100th
ANNIVERSARY.
LISTEN, THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT
IT WAS A COMBINATION OF HATRED
AND JEALOUSY THAT LED TO THE
SLAUGHTER THE OF, THE MASSACRE
WAS WHAT WAS KNOWN AS "BLACK
WALL STREET," WHERE YOU HAD
PROFESSIONAL BLACKS WHO WERE
VERY ECONOMICALLY SOLID.
IT WAS DESCRIBED TO ME THIS WAY:
18 HOURS OF SHEER TERROR WHERE
PEOPLE WERE DEPUTIZED AT RANDOM
TO GO AND KILL BLACK PEOPLE.
THERE WAS AN INCIDENT INVOLVING
A TEENAGED BLACK BOY AND A
TEENAGED WHITE GIRL IN AN
ELEVATOR.
IT'S BELIEVED THAT HE TRIPPED
AND FELL ON HER.
SHE STARTED SCREAMING AND
CRYING.
AND THEN BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, THE
FIRST SHOTS WERE FIRED.
THERE WAS ALL SORT OF-- NO ONE
REALLY KNOWS WHO FIRED THE FIRST
SHOT, BUT WHAT THEY KNOW IS
AFTER THAT, IT WAS 18 HOURS OF
TERROR.
AND WHEN IT WAS ALL OVER, BLACK
WALL STREET WAS BURNED DOWN TO
THE GROUND, YOU KNOW.
THERE WERE, AT THE TIME, YOU
KNOW, 600 VERY THRIVING
BUSINESSES, BLACK BUSINESSES.
TODAY THERE ARE ONLY 26.
SO THE PROBLEM IS NO ONE WAS
EVER-- NO ONE EVER PAID FOR THE
CRIME.
YOU KNOW, THERE IS NOT BLACK
GENERATIONAL WEALTH PASSED ON IN
FAMILIES.
AND IT'S STORIES LIKE THAT,
WHICH IS WHY-- IT'S THOSE KIND
OF STORIES IN TULSA, OKLAHOMA,
WHERE THERE IS SO MUCH
CONTROVERSY ABOUT NOT HAVING
BLACK GENERATIONAL WEALTH.
IT WAS DESCRIBED TO ME THIS WAY:
FOR INSTANCE, A HOTEL WAS WORTH
$100,000 AT THAT TIME.
TODAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORTH
$100 MILLION.
WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT BUSINESS
COULD HAVE BEEN?
WHO KNOWS WHAT THE CHAIN COULD
HAVE BEEN?
BUT NONE OF THAT MONEY WAS
PASSED ON TO BLACK FAMILY
MEMBERS.
AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PEOPLE
THAT DIED THAT DAY, VERY
SUCCESSFUL, PROFESSIONAL,
BLACKS, FOR WHAT REASON?
SO NOW THERE IS A WHOLE BIG
GROUNDSWELL TO HOW CAN WE MAKE
THIS RIGHT?
WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS THE
FAIR THING TO DO?
AND I TALKED TO, YOU KNOW, THREE
LIVING SURVIVORS-- THERE ARE
106, AND 107 WHO STILL REMEMBER
THAT DAY, AND THEY WERE JUST
LITTLE KIDS AT THE TIME.
>> Stephen: AND NOT ONLY DID
THIS CRIME HAPPEN, NOT ONLY DID
THIS CRIME HAPPEN, BUT THERE WAS
A CONCERTED EFFORT TO ERASE ANY
MEMORY OF THE CRIME SO THAT
THERE WOULD NEVER BE ANY
ACCOUNTABILITY, WHICH IS WHY ALL
THE MORE IMPORTANT ON THIS
100th ANNIVERSARY THAT SHOWS
LIKE THIS BROADCAST TO REMIND
EVERYBODY OF THE HISTORY OF THIS
KIND OF OPPRESSION.
SO, THANK YOU, GAYLE.
>> STEPHEN, LET ME TELL YOU
THIS.
I'M SO GLAD YOU BROUGHT UP THAT
POINT.
NOT ONLY DID THEY TRY TO ERASE
IT.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW
ABOUT IT, INCLUDING THE PEOPLE
LIVING IN TULSA!
I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT UNTIL AT
LEAST, YOU KNOW, 20 YEARS AGO.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUTHIT.
SOMEBODY SAID, "OF COURSE YOU
HEARD OF IT."
I HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT.
IT'S NOT TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS
ANYWHERE-- THAT'S CHANGING.
BUT BLACK PEOPLE AND WHITE
PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.
THAT'S WRONG.
SO WE WANT TO CHANGE THAT

AMERICAN TRAGEDY" AIRS NEXT
