>> Announcer: IT'S "THE LATE SHOW" WITH STEPHEN COLBERT!
TONIGHT, STEPHEN WELCOMES WHOOPI GOLDBERG AND CONGRESSMAN RO
KHANNA, FEATURING JON BATISTE AND "STAY HUMAN."
AND NOW, LIVE ON TAPE FROM THE ED SULLIVAN THEATER IN NEW YORK
CITY, IT'S STEPHEN COLBERT!
>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
GOOD TO SEE YOU. HELLO.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. VERY KIND.
HELLO, JON. NICE TO SEE YOU.
WWELCOME ONE AND ALL TO "THE LAE SHOW."
I'M YOUR HOST STEPHEN COLBERT. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
HEY, COME ON. >> Stephen: YES.
COME ON. HOW BOUT YESTERDAY'S MEN'S
FOOTBALL GAMES? TWO THRILLING CONFERENCE
CHAMPIONSHIP NAILBITERS ... IS WHAT I HEARD AFTER
GETTING BACK FROM WATCHING A BROADWAY SHOW.
AND LET ME JUST SAY THIS: IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN DAVID BYRNE'S
"AMERICAN UTOPIA," IT'S A TOTAL HOME RUN!
( LAUGHTER ) NOW THE SUPER BOWL MATCHUP IS
SET: THE STAR-STUDDED L.A. RAMS VERSUS THE UPSTART
CINCINNATI BENGALS. THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING THING
TO HAPPEN TO CINCINNATI SINCE THEY FOUND ALL THAT SPAGHETTI
UNDER THEIR CHILI. ( CHEERING )
NOW, ACCORDING TO EVERY SINGLE AD I SEE, ANYWHERE ON ANY SHOW,
SPORTS GAMBLING IS NOW MANDATORY.
SO, HERE'S MY HOT TIP: ALWAYS BET BASED ON WHICH MASCOT WOULD
DEFEAT THE OTHER MASCOT. RAMS, THEY GOT THE HORNS, BUT
I DON'T SEE ANY KIND OF SHEEP TAKING DOWN A BENGAL TIGER.
600 LBS. -- 800 POUNDS
APEX PREDATOR. RAZORSHARP RETRACTABLE CLAWS.
ANYWAY, PUT IT ALL ON - WHICH CITY IS THAT?
THAT ONE. CINCINNATI, PUT IT ALL ON THAT
ONE. ( LAUGHTER )
ALL THE FOCUS WILL BE ON THE TWO TOP HELMETBOYS:
RAMS QUARTERBACK AND GOLDEN RETRIEVER WHO WISHED TO BE A
MAN, MATTHEW STAFFORD, AND BENGALS QUARTERBACK JOE BURROW,
SEEN HERE ABOUT TO CHASE JAMES BOND ON A SNOWMOBILE.
( LAUGHTER ) OF COURSE, THE BIGGEST MOMENT
YESTERDAY CAME AT HALFTIME OF THE BENGALS-CHIEFS GAME
WHEN THERE WAS A BIT OF AN ISSUE WITH THE SOUND MIX HERE ON
C.B.S. SEE IF YOU CAN SPOT IT:
>> WELCOME YOU BACK TO ARROWHEAD STADIUM AND THE
VERIZON HALFTIME REPORT THE OFFICIAL 5G NETWORK OF
THE NFL, VERIZON. I'M JAMES BROWN ALONG
WITH-- ( STADIUM ANNOUNCER
DROWNS HIM OUT ) >> ANNOUNCER: AS WE WELCOME,
GRAMMY-NOMINATED SINGER-SONGWRITER WALKER HAYES!"
>> HE'S GOT TIME PHIL, AND HE'S BURNING THEM--
>> THE QUESTION IS >> HAYES: YEAH!
>> AND THE ANSWER IS TIME THAT'S WHAT PATRICK MAHOMES
♪♪ ♪♪
(HAYES' MUSIC COMPLETELY OVERPOWERS THE CONVERSATION)
>> Stephen: PERFECT SOUND FOR ANYONE WHO WISHES THEIR HALFTIME
REPORT WAS MORE LIKE A DATE IN A LOUD BAR.
(SHOUTING) "YOU LIKE PATRICK MAHOMES?
OH, GIVE YOU YOUR "HAT." YOU WANNA GO "HOME?"
I THOUGHT THE DATE WAS GOING WELL!"
( LAUGHTER ) BUT WHETHER YOU'RE INTO THE RAMS
OR THE BENGALS, THERE'S ONLY ONE NFL GOAT:
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEER AND ABERCROMBIE MANNEQUIN YOU SWEAR
JUST BLINKED, TOM BRADY. THIS WEEKEND, THERE WAS SOME BIG
NEWS: AFTER 22 SEASONS AND 7 RINGS
TOM BRADY MAY BE RETIRING. BAD NEWS FOR YOUR DAD.
THERE'S A NEW RETIREE ABOUT TO 'DOMINATE' THE
PICKLEBALL LEAGUE. ( LAUGHTER )
BRADY RETIRING WOULD END A LEGENDARY CAREER, HE
ACCOMPLISHED MORE THAN ANY OTHER QUARTERBACK TO PLAY THE
GAME, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS DRAFTED 199TH OVERALL.
WHICH JUST SHOWS THAT 'ANYONE' CAN BE SUCCESSFUL, AS LONG AS
YOU'RE ONE OF THE MOST GIFTED AND ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE IN HUMAN
HISTORY. ( LAUGHTER )
NOW, IT MIGHT BE A MINUTE BEFORE TOM CAN PUT ON HIS SWEATPANTS
AND GO MALL-WALKING. BECAUSE IF HE STAYS ON THE
ROSTER UNTIL THE END OF THIS WEEK, HE'LL RECEIVE A $15
MILLION SIGNING BONUS THIS FRIDAY.
WOW. I'D WORK FOUR MORE DAYS FOR $15 MILLION.
( LAUGHTER )
I'D EVEN TAPE A SHOW ON FRIDAY. I GOT TO THINK -- NOT THIS
FRIDAY, BUT SOME OTHER FRIDAY. ( LAUGHTER )
OF COURSE, BRADY IS KNOWN FOR MORE THAN JUST FOOTBALL.
HE ALSO FOLLOWED A SPECIAL DIET SO STRICT THAT ON MY SHOW I HAD
TO PRESSURE HIM INTO EATING HIS FIRST STRAWBERRY AND
CHUGGING A BEER. BUT NOW THAT TOM BRADY APPEARS
TO BE HANGING UP THE OL' FOOTBALL SKATES, THE WORLD MAY
FINALLY SEE WHAT WE'VE ALL LONGED FOR:
DAD BOD BRADY. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
DO IT! GIVE US HOPE, TOM!
( APPLAUSE ) DO IT!
ONE FLORIDA RESIDENT WHO WILL NOT GO AWAY IS FORMER PRESIDENT
"DROOLIUS GEEZER." WHILE THE JANUARY 6TH SELECT
COMMITTEE CONTINUES TO LOOK FOR THE CAUSE OF THE CAPITOL RIOT,
THE CAUSE ADMITTED TO EVERYTHING AND THREATENED TO DO IT AGAIN.
HE WAS IN TEXAS THIS WEEKEND HOLDING A RALLY BECAUSE HIS
FATHER DIDN'T HUG HIM ENOUGH. UNLIKE THE FORMER PRESIDENT, THE
JANUARY 6TH RIOTERS HAVE ACTUALLY FACED SOME LEGAL
CONSEQUENCES. AND HE WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT
IT, AND HE MADE THIS PROMISE: >> IF I RUN, AND IF I WIN WE
WILL TREAT THOSE PEOPLE FROM JANUARY 6TH FAIRLY.
WE WILL TREAT THEM FAIRLY. AND IF IT REQUIRES PARDONS, WE
WILL GIVE THEM PARDONS. ( BOOING )
>> STEPHEN: WELL, AS LONG AS YOU'RE DOLING OUT PARDONS:
( BLEEP ) YOU. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
( PIANO RIFF ) PARDON MY FRENCH.
( LAUGHTER ) WHAT A WEIRD PLATFORM TO RUN FOR
PRESIDENT ON: I WILL PARDON VIOLENT CRIMINALS.
THAT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE THE FAMOUS CAMPAIGN SLOGAN:
"TIPPACANOE AND MURDER ALL YOU WANT!"
THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION IN
NEW YORK AND GEORGIA, AND HE TOLD THE MAGA HEADS WHAT HE
WANTED THEM TO DO IF HE GOT INDICTED:
>> IF THESE RADICAL VICIOUS RACIST PROSECUTORS DO ANYTHING
WRONG OR ILLEGAL, I HOPE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY,
THE BIGGEST PROTEST WE HAVE EVER HAD IN WASHINGTON D.C., IN NEW
YORK, IN ATLANTA, AND ELSEWHERE. >> STEPHEN: SO, TO RECAP
HE'S SAYING: "I DIDN'T SEND A MOB TO MURDER
CONGRESS, BUT IF I EVER FACE ANY CONSEQUENCES:
KILL, KILL, MY PRETTIES, KILL!" ( LAUGHTER )
"FLY! !"
INTERNATIONAL SYMBOL FOR FLYING MONKEY.
( LAUGHTER ) HE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO REMORSE
ABOUT UNLEASHING THE MOB, AND HE'LL DO IT AGAIN.
BUT A BI-PARTISAN GROUP OF SENATORS ARE TRYING TO MAKE SURE
IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. YESTERDAY, MAINE SENATOR SUSAN
COLLINS REVEALED SHE WAS WORKING ON A BILL THAT WOULD GET RID OF
THE AMBIGUITIES IN ELECTION LAW THAT LED SOME ADMINISTRATION
OFFICIALS TO ARGUE THAT VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE HAD
THE AUTHORITY TO THROW OUT STATES' ELECTORAL VOTES.
THE FORMER PRESIDENT TOOK TO HIS NOT-TWITTER TO COMPLAIN.
AND BECAUSE I DON'T DO AN IMPRESSION OF HIM ANYMORE
THAT STATEMENT WILL BE READ BY SOMEONE WITH HIS SAME LEVEL OF
EMOTIONAL MATURITY A 7-YEAR-OLD BOY:
>> "IF THE VICE PRESIDENT HAD 'ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT' TO CHANGE
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION RESULTS IN THE SENATE, DESPITE
FRAUD AND MANY OTHER IRREGULARITIES, HOW COME THE
DEMOCRATS AND RINO REPUBLICANS, LIKE WACKY SUSAN COLLINS, ARE
DESPERATELY TRYING TO PASS LEGISLATION THAT WILL NOT ALLOW
THE VICE PRESIDENT TO CHANGE THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION?"
>> STEPHEN: THEY HAVE TO PASS THE LEGISLATION "NOW,"
( APPLAUSE ) >> Jon: JUST THE SOUND IS
WONDERFUL. >> Stephen: THEY HAVE TO PASS
THAT LEGISLATION NOW BECAUSE BEFORE YOU, NO ONE WAS
DERANGED ENOUGH TO TRY IT! IT'S LIKE A ZOO HAVING TO PUT
UP A SIGN THAT SAYS: "PLEASE DO NOT GET NAKED, ROLL
YOURSELF IN BACON FAT, AND BREAK INTO THE
LION CAGE. LOOKIN' AT YOU, CARL."
( LAUGHTER ) THE FORMER PRESIDENT THEN TOOK
AIM AT PENCE: >> ACTUALLY, WHAT THEY ARE
SAYING, IS THAT MIKE PENCE DID HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE
OUTCOME, AND THEY NOW WANT TO TAKE THAT RIGHT AWAY.
UNFORTUNATELY, HE DIDN'T EXERCISE THAT POWER, HE COULD
HAVE OVERTURNED THE ELECTION! >> STEPHEN: HE JUST SAID THE
SECRET WORDS: OVERTURN THE ELECTION.
THAT'S ADMITTING HE TRIED TO STAGE A COUP.
JOHNNY, TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT HE GETS:
( GAME SHOW MUSIC PLAYS ) "STILL NO CONSEQUENCES FOR SOME
REASON. WE LIVE IN HELL!
BACK TO YOU STEPHEN. >> Stephen: THANKS, JOHNNY
( APPLAUSE ) >> Jon: THAT'S ALL WE WANT.
>> STEPHEN: IN COVID NEWS, THERE'S SLIGHTLY LESS OF IT.
AROUND THE COUNTRY, CASES ARE DECLINING, WHICH IS WHY SOME
STATE OFFICIALS ARE SAYING IT'S TIME FOR AMERICANS TO GET
BACK TO THEIR NORMAL LIVES WHILE CONTINUING TO PREPARE FOR
THE NEXT INEVITABLE SURGE. WOW, THAT GOOD NEWS TOOK A HARD
TURN. IT'S LIKE AN AIRLINE PILOT
SAYING (AS PILOT)
"WELL FOLKS, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GONNA HAVE YOU ON THE GROUND
JUST A HAIR AHEAD OF SCHEDULE, BECAUSE WE HAVE LOST OUR
ENGINES, AND WE'RE PLUMMETING TOWARDS CLEVELAND.
FLIGHT ATTENDANTS, CROSS CHECK." EVEN DR. ANTHONY FAUCI AGREES,
COVID MIGHT BE GOING DOWN, BUT IT'S NOT GOING AWAY.
>> WHAT WE WOULD HOPE IS THAT AS WE GET INTO THE NEXT WEEKS TO
MONTH OR SO WE'LL SEE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY THE LEVEL OF
INFECTION GET TO BELOW WHAT I CALL THAT AREA OF CONTROL,
CONTROL MEANS YOU'RE NOT ELIMINATING IT, YOU'RE NOT
ERADICATING IT BUT IT GETS DOWN TO SUCH A LOW LEVEL THAT IT'S
ESSENTIALLY INTEGRATED INTO THE GENERAL RESPIRATORY
INFECTIONS THAT WE HAVE LEARNED TO LIVE WITH.
>> STEPHEN: BASICALLY, COVID IS LIKE THAT TRAMP STAMP OF SMASH
MOUTH LYRICS YOU GOT IN THE 90S. IT'S NOT GOING AWAY, WE JUST
HAVE TO LEARN TO LIVE WITH THE FACT THAT
"ALL THAT GLITTERS IS GOLD. ONLY SHOOTING STARS BREAK THE
MOLD." BUT SOME FOLKS ARE STILL MAD AT
DR. FAUCI FOR, I DON'T KNOW, KNOWING THINGS.
SPECIFICALLY, KENTUCKY CONGRESSMAN AND BOY ASKING TO
SPEND RECESS WITH TEACHER, THOMAS MASSIE.
YESTERDAY, MASSIE TWEETED "YOU MUSTN'T QUESTION FAUCI, FOR
HE IS SCIENCE," WITH THE QUOTE: "TO LEARN WHO RULES OVER YOU,
SIMPLY FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CRITICIZE" --
VOLTAIRE. OK, FIRST OF ALL, YOU CAN
CRITICIZE WHOMEVER YOU WANT. EVEN FAUCI.
PERSONALLY, I THINK HE COULD HAVE GIVEN US A LITTLE
MORE LEG ON HIS "INSTYLE" COVER. DON'T BE A CALF -TEASE!
THING IS, THAT QUOTE ISN'T FROM VOLTAIRE, BUT RATHER FROM KEVIN
ALFRED STROM, A NOTORIOUS NEO-NAZI WHO WAS CONVICTED ON
CHILD PORN CHARGES IN 2008. OK, CONGRESSMAN GOT THAT PRETTY
WRONG. BUT MASSIE DID POST A "SECOND"
QUOTE TO CLARIFY: "ALL THAT GLITTERS IS GOLD.
ONLY SHOOTING STARS BREAK THE MOLD." - WINSTON CHURCHILL
( APPLAUSE ) WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU
TONIGHT, MY GUESTS ARE WHOOPI GOLDBERG AND
CONGRESSMAN RO KHANNA. BUT WHEN WE COME
BACK, MEANWHILE! ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
JON BATISTE AND "STAY HUMAN"!
GIVE IT UP, BABY! BEAUTIFUL!
( SINGING ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY! WELCOME BACK.
JON, DEAR FRIEND OF THE SHOW WHOOPI GOLDBERG IS GOING TO BE
HERE IN JUST A MINUTE. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
I WANT TO TALK TO THIS GUY FOR A WHILE.
CONGRESSMAN RO KHANNA, FROM SILICON VALLEY, HAS A NEW BOOK
CALLED "DIGNITY IN A DIGITAL AGE."
ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT YOUR PRIVACY AT ALL?
>> YOU KNOW, THE CAT IS OUT OF THE BAG.
OUR INFORMATION IS OUT THERE. >> Stephen: RIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S LEFT. I GOT ALEXA AND SIRI IN MY
HOUSE. I'VE GOT BOTH THOSE THINGS.
>> Jon: AND I BELIEVE THEY'RE ALL SPYING ON US.
>> Stephen: HOW COULD THEY NOT BE?
THEY WOULDN'T HEAR US SAY, HEY, SIRI AND ALEXA.
NOW PEOPLE'S ALEXAS ARE WAKING UP ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES.
>> Jon: EVEN AFTER YOU LOOK ON YOUR PHONE AFTER YOU'VE HAD A
CONVERSATION, YOU WILL SEE THINGS THAT POP UP THAT WERE A
PART OF YOUR CONVERSATION. >> Stephen: AND THEY'LL GO,
HEY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUY THE THING YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT?
>> Jon: HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT?
>> Stephen: AND SIRI GOES, HOW DID I KNOW YOU WERE TALKING
ABOUT THAT, JON? HERE ARE NAMES OF SOME
THERAPISTS. ( LAUGHTER )
>> STEPHEN: FOLKS, I SPEND A LOT OF TIME, RIGHT OVER THERE
CAREFULLY PLANTING AND TENDING TO THE DAY'S BIGGEST, MOST
IMPORTANT STORIES, TRIMMING THE TOPICAL HEDGES WITH DELICATE
EXACTITUDE, RESEARCHING AND SEEDING THE SOIL OF TODAY'S
NEWS IN ORDER TO YIELD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, FRAGRANT JOKE
FLOWERS, AND PRECISELY TIMING THE BLOOM IN THE EXQUISITE
ENGLISH GARDEN THAT IS MY NIGHTLY MONOLOGUE.
BUT SOMETIMES, I DRIVE A 2003 PONTIAC SUNFIRE THROUGH THE HOME
DEPOT GARDEN CENTER, DOWN A JUG OF MIRACLE GRO, SMEAR MY BODY IN
MUD AND PEA GRAVEL, BUILD A FORT OUT OF PAVERS, PLOP A SUCCULENT
DISH GARDEN ON MY HEAD, AND BARRICADE MYSELF INSIDE A
PORTABLE TOOL SHED TO CREATE THE PARANOID BACKYARD STANDOFF OF
NEWS THAT IS MY SEGMENT: ♪♪
MEANWHILE!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) MEANWHILE, LAST NIGHT WAS ROUGH
FOR JETBLUE PASSENGERS AT J.F.K., AS THE AIRLINE IS STILL
CATCHING UP FROM THE WEEKEND STORM.
APPARENTLY, SO MANY JETBLUE PASSENGERS WERE STUCK ON PLANES
FOR SO LONG, IT "CAUSED SOME PEOPLE TO ALLEGEDLY
URINATE IN THEIR SEATS AND SUFFER PANIC
ATTACKS." SO... A REGULAR FLIGHT ON
SPIRIT. ( LAUGHTER )
THAT JOKE'S BASED ON A TRUE STORY.
MEANWHILE, IN SOUTH DAKOTA "A POLICE OFFICER COMPLETED A
DOORDASH ORDER AFTER ARRESTING THE DELIVERY DRIVER."
( LAUGHTER ) THE DOORDASH DRIVER HAD AN
OUTSTANDING WARRANT, SO THE CUSTOMER ANSWERED THE DOOR TO
FIND SIOUX FALLS OFFICER SAM BUHR WITH HER FOOD:
>> "I KNOW I'M NOT WHO YOU WERE EXPECTING.
YOUR DRIVER GOT ARRESTED FOR SOME THINGS HE HAD TO TAKE CARE
OF. SO I FIGURED I'D COMPLETE THE
DOORDASH FOR YA. >> THANK YOU!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: THANK YOU,
OFFICER! PROTECT AND SERVE!
>> Jon: COME ON, COME ON. >> STEPHEN: SO WE DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT THE DRIVER DID, BUT IT MUST HAVE BEEN
SERIOUS BECAUSE WHILE WAITING, THE APP TRACKER SAID
"YOUR JALAPENO BACON CHICKEN WRAP WILL ARRIVE IN
15-20 YEARS." ( LAUGHTER )
MEANWHILE, IN DRUG-RELATED NEWS "MARIJUANA USE MAY CAUSE
COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT EVEN WHEN NOT STILL HIGH."
RESEARCH FINDS THAT MANY OF THE LEARNING AND MEMORY PROBLEMS
CAUSED BY CANNABIS CONSUMPTION CAN LINGER FOR WEEKS.
BUT DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT IF YOU'RE HIGH RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE
YOU WON'T REMEMBER IT. ( LAUGHTER )
( APPLAUSE ) MEANWHILE, IF YOU'RE WORRIED YOU
WERE BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND TOO MUCH ABOUT THE WORLD, GOOD NEWS:
THERE'S A PLAN TO PUT BITCOIN IN MOUSE DNA WITH A GENETICALLY
ENGINEERED VIRUS. OK.
HERE'S "THE PLAN." AS YOU MAY KNOW, A BITCOIN
WALLET CAN ONLY BE ACCESSED USING ITS PRIVATE KEY.
SO THEY WILL BUY SOME BITCOIN THEN TIE THE MOUSE'S VALUE TO
THAT BITCOIN BY EDITING THE MOUSE'S GENETIC CODE TO CARRY
THE PRIVATE KEY THAT CONTROLS THE BITCOINS.
THIS MANIPULATION WILL RESULT IN GENETICALLY ENGINEERING THE
WORLD'S FIRST DOUCHEMOUSE. ( LAUGHTER )
LONG WALK FOR A LITTLE MOUSE. THROUGH THE MAZE, THROUGH THE
MAZE. MEANWHILE, IN ICELAND, YEARS
AFTER EVERY MCDONALD'S IN THE COUNTRY SHUT DOWN IN 2009
THEIR LAST BIG MAC IS BEING PRESERVED AS A HISTORICAL
ARTIFACT. AND JUST LOOK AT THIS THING!
THAT'S FROM 2009! YOU GOTTA QUESTION YOUR FOOD
CHOICE WHEN YOU CAN LOOK AT IT 13 YEARS LATER AND SAY
"YOU'RE JUST AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE DAY I MET YOU."
APPARENTLY, THIS HISTORIC BURGER WAS PURCHASED BY AN ICELANDER
NAMED JORSTUR SMARASON ONE DAY BEFORE THE LOCATIONS CLOSED,
THEN, THREE YEARS LATER, SMARASON FOUND IN HIS GARAGE A
PAIR OF OLD, MICE-CHEWED ROLLER BLADES, TOOLS, BOXES, AND
AN UNTOUCHED BAG OF FOOD FROM MCDONALD'S.
SO TO RECAP. MICE FOUND A BAG OF MCDONALD'S
AND SAID "Y'KNOW WHAT? I'D RATHER EAT THE ROLLER BLADES.
( APPLAUSE ) DEEP FRIED ROLLERBLADE?
DOES EXPLAIN WHY FROM "I'M LOVIN' IT" TO
"RECOGNIZED AS FOOD BY AT LEAST ONE SPECIES!"
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH WHOOPI GOLDBERG!
>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY! WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE SHOW."
( CHEERING ) HEY, EVERYBODY!
MY FIRST GUEST IS THE EMMY, GRAMMY, OSCAR, AND TONY AWARD
WINNER YOU KNOW AS THE MODERATOR OF "THE VIEW."
SHE HAS JUST EXECUTIVE PRODUCED A NEW LIFETIME MOVIE
CALLED "CAUGHT IN HIS WEB." PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO THE LATE
SHOW, WHOOPI GOLDBERG! OUR FRIEND AND YOURS!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( BAND PLAYING )
( CHEERING )
>> THANK YOU. >> Stephen: GOOD TO SEE YOU
AGAIN. >> AND YOU.
>> Stephen: NOW, YOU MADE SOME NEWS THIS MORNING ON "THE VIEW."
>> YES, I DID. >> Stephen: WHEN Y'ALL WERE
TALKING ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST. >> YEAH.
>> Stephen: WOULD YOU CARE TO FOLLOW UP WHAT YOU SAID THIS
MORNING BECAUSE IT CONFUSED SOME PEOPLE.
>> IT UPSET A LOT OF PEOPLE WHICH WAS NEVER EVER EVER MY
INTENTION. I THOUGHT WE WERE HAVING A
DISCUSSION. BECAUSE I FEEL, BEING BLACK,
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT RACE, IT'S A VERY DIFFERENT THING TO ME.
SO I SAID I FELT THAT THE HOLOCAUST WASN'T ABOUT RACE.
AND PEOPLE GOT VERY VERY VERY ANGRY AND STILL ARE ANGRY.
I'M GETTING, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THE MAIL FROM FOLKS, AND VERY
REAL ANGER BECAUSE PEOPLE FEEL VERY DIFFERENTLY.
BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS A SALIENT DISCUSSION BECAUSE, AS A BLACK
PERSON, I THINK OF RACE AS BEING SOMETHING THAT I CAN SEE.
SO I SEE YOU AND I KNOW WHAT RACE YOU ARE, AND THE DISCUSSION
WAS ABOUT HOW I FELT ABOUT THAT. I FELT THAT IT WAS REALLY MORE
ABOUT MAN'S INHUMANITY TO MAN AND HOW HORRIBLE PEOPLE CAN BE
TO PEOPLE, AND WE'RE SEEING IT MANIFEST ITSELF THESE DAYS.
BUT PEOPLE WERE VERY ANGRY AND THEY SAID, NO, NO, WE ARE A
RACE, AND I UNDERSTAND. I UNDERSTAND.
I FELT DIFFERENTLY. I RESPECT EVERYTHING EVERYONE IS
SAYING TO ME, AND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO FAKE APOLOGIZE,
YOU KNOW. I'M VERY UPSET THAT PEOPLE ARE
MISUNDERSTOOD WHAT I WAS SAYING. AND, SO, BECAUSE OF IT, THEY'RE
SAYING THAT I'M ANTISEMITIC AND THAT I'M DENYING THE HOLOCAUST
AND ALL THESE OTHER THINGS, WHICH, YOU KNOW, WOULD NEVER
HAVE OCCURRED TO ME TO DO. I THOUGHT WE WERE HAVING A
DISCUSSION ABOUT RACE, WHICH EVERYONE I THINK IS HAVING.
>> Stephen: AS THE WHITE GUY IN THE CONVERSATION HERE, I AM
NEITHER JEWISH NOR BLACK SO I HAVE A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE IN
ALL THIS. >> YEAH.
>> Stephen: SEEMS TO ME A WHITENESS IS A CONSTRUCT CREATED
BY COLONIAL POWERS DURING THE BEGINNING OF COLONIAL
IMPERIALEST ERA IN ORDER TO EXPLOIT OTHER PEOPLE AND THAT
THEY COULD APPLY IT TO ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF PEOPLE THE
IDEA OF RACE, AND THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE TENDS TO BE BASED ON
SKIN. >> YES, AND, SO, THAT IS WHAT
RACE MEANS TO ME. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT BEING A
RACIST, I WAS SAYING, YOU CAN'T CALL THIS RACISM.
THIS WAS EVIL. THIS WASN'T BASED ON THE SKIN.
YOU COULDN'T TELL WHO WAS JEWISH.
THEY HAD TO DELVE DEEPLY TO FIGURE IT OUT.
>> Stephen: I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS WHY PEOPLE MIGHT SAY --
AND, AGAIN, I AM NOT JEWISH AND I'M NOT BLACK, BUT AS SOMEONE
WHO UNDERSTANDS, YOU KNOW, WHAT I'VE READ ABOUT HOW THE NAZIS
OPERATED, WHEN THEY FOUND OUT THAT YOU WERE OF THE JEWISH
RACE, THAT'S WHY THEY'D MAKE YOU WEAR A STAR SO THEY COULD SEE
YOU. >> YES, SO THEY COULD IDENTIFY
YOU. BUT MY POINT IS, THEY HAD TO DO
THE WORK. IF THE KLAN IS COMING DOWN THE
STREET, AND I'M STANDING WITH A JEWISH FRIEND, AND NEITHER
ONE -- WELL, I'M GOING TO RUN. ( LAUGHTER )
BUT IF MY FRIEND DECIDES NOT TO RUN, THEY'LL GET PASSED BY MOST
TIMES BECAUSE YOU CAN'T TELL WHO'S JEWISH, IT'S NOT SOMETHING
PEOPLE SAY, OH, THAT PERSON IS JEWISH OR THIS PERSON IS JEWISH.
SO THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT
NOT EVERYBODY SEES IT THAT WAY, AND THAT I DID A LOT OF HARM, I
GUESS, TO MYSELF, AND PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, DECIDED I WAS ALL
THESE OTHER THINGS. I'M ACTUALLY NOT, AND I'M
INCREDIBLY TORN UP BY BEING TOLD THESE THINGS ABOUT MYSELF AND,
YOU KNOW, I GET IT, FOLKS ARE ANGRY, I ACCEPT THAT, AND I DID
IT TO MYSELF. THIS WAS MY -- MY THOUGHT
PROCESS, AND I WILL WORK HARD NOT TO THINK THAT WAY AGAIN.
>> Stephen: HAVE YOU COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE NAZIS SAW IT
AS RACE? ( APPLAUSE )
BECAUSE ASKING THE NAZIS, THEY WOULD SAY, YES, IT'S A RACIAL
ISSUE. >> WELL, SEE, THIS IS WHAT'S
INTERESTING TO ME BECAUSE THE NAZIS LIED.
IT WASN'T. THEY HAD ISSUES WITH ETHNICITY,
NOT WITH RACE, BECAUSE MOST OF THE NAZIS WERE WHITE PEOPLE AND
MOST TO HAVE THE PEOPLE THEY WERE ATTACKING WERE WHITE
PEOPLE. SO, TO ME, I'M THINKING HOW CAN
YOU SAY IT'S ABOUT RACE IF YOU ARE FIGHTING EACH OTHER?
SO IT ALL REALLY BEGAN BECAUSE I SAID HOW WILL WE EXPLAIN TO
CHILDREN WHAT HAPPENED IN NAZI GERMANY?
THIS WASN'T -- I SAID, THIS WASN'T RACIAL, THIS WAS ABOUT
WHITE ON WHITE. AND EVERYBODY SAID, NO, NO, NO,
IT WAS RACIAL. AND, SO, THAT'S WHAT THIS ALL
CAME FROM. SO, ONCE AGAIN, DON'T WRITE ME
ANYMORE, I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL, OKAY.
I ALREADY KNOW. I GET IT, AND I'M GOING TO TAKE
YOUR WORD FOR IT AND NEVER BRING IT UP AGAIN.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK, BUT STICK AROUND,
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE WHOOPI GOLDBERG, EVERYBODY.
>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY! WE'RE BACK WITH WHOOPI GOLDBERG.
HERE YOU ARE IN "STAR TREK" THE NEXT GENERATION.
>> AH, YES. >> Stephen: AND NOW I FOUND
OUT YOU'RE COMING BACK IN SEASON TWO OF PICCARD AS GUYNAN.
>> YES. >> Stephen: WHAT MADE THIS
PART SO SPECIAL. >> IT WAS THE BEST TIME I HAD
EVER. >> Stephen: REALLY.
YEAH, IT WAS. GENE RODDENBERRY GAVE ME A PART
TO DO TO CARRY ON THE WORK OF MICHELE NICHOLS, TO LET BROWN
GIRLS IN PARTICULAR KNOW THAT THERE WAS A PLACE FOR US IN
SPACE. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
AND, NOW, YOU KNOW, WE COME BACK AND PATRICK IS THERE, AND
PATRICK LOOKS LIKE PATRICK, AND I KIND OF LOOK LIKE I ATE THE
ENTERPRISE, BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU DIDN'T SEE ME WHEN I SAT DOWN.
THERE'S A LITTLE MORE TO ME THAN THERE WAS LAST TIME I SAW YOU.
I'VE EATEN A LOT. >> Stephen: GET IN LINE.
GET IN THE COVID LINE. >> GET IN THE COVID LINE!
>> Stephen: NOW YOU'VE EXECUTIVE PRODUCED A MOVIE FOR
LIFETIME CALLED CAUGHT IN HIS WEB.
>> YEAH. >> Stephen: WHAT'S IT ABOUT
AND WHY WAS THIS THING YOU WANTED TO EXECUTIVE PRODUCE
NEXT? >> WELL, I CAN AND DO.
I DO AS MUCH AS I CAN. I STEP AND DO AND THEN I STEP
OUT. SO, YOU KNOW, LIFE GOES ON.
BUT THIS WAS IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE
THINGS ABOUT LIFETIME MOVIES IS IF YOU'RE SEEING IT ON LIFETIME,
IT HAPPENED TO SOMEONE, AND THIS IS A STORY OF THREE YOUNG WOMEN
WHO FIND THEMSELVES AT THE MERCY OF A GUY WHO HAS GOTTEN INTO
THEIR HOMES THROUGH THE WEB AND --
>> Stephen: SPYING ON THEM? YEAH, HE'S WATCHING EACH AND
EVERY ONE OF THEM, AND THE WHICH HE GETS INTO THE HOUSE IS SO
ESY THAT I REALLY WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THIS COULD BE
ANYBODY. THIS COULD HAPPEN TO ANYBODY,
AND IT'S SO FRIGHTENING AND SO ANGERING BECAUSE YOU THINK, HOW
CAN YOU JUST COME IN MY HOUSE AND SPY ON ME AND WATCH ME?
AND IT DRIVES THESE GIRLS TO DO THINGS TO THEMSELVES THAT ARE
AWFUL. >> Stephen: BASED ON A TRUE
STORY. >> BASED ON A TRUE STORY.
AND I JUST -- I WANTED PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
COULD HAPPEN OUT IN THE WORLD, AND MAYBE WE COULD HELP IT NOT
HAPPEN TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. >> Stephen: YOU KNOW MY NEXT
GUEST IS A CONGRESSMAN RO KHANNA WHO HAS WRITTEN A BOOK ABOUT
"DIGNITY IN A DIGITAL AGE" AND PRIVACY AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO WATCH THE SHOW. >> I WILL, I WILL, AND HE SHOULD
WATCH THIS. I HAVE TO WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN,
STEPHEN. I CAN'T REMEMBER NAMES, I CAN'T
REMEMBER -- I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU.
>> Stephen: YOU WON'T TELL ME? WELL I HAVE TO TELL YOU,
DON'T I? THEY'RE IN "CAUGHT IN HIS WEB.
>> Stephen: PLEASE. GARSEL IS THE DETECTIVE WHO
REALLY GETS IT ALL TOGETHER AND PTS IT DOWN.
DID I MISS SAY HER NAME? >> Stephen: NO, IT SOUNDS
PERFECT. >> YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I LIKE TO
ASK THE FOLKS OVER THERE BECAUSE THEY KNOW.
THEY KNOW. >> Stephen: DID SHE SAY THE
NAME CORRECTLY, JON? >> Jon: BEAUTIFUL, GREAT.
AD ALISON THORNTON AND EMMA TREMBLE AND MARIA BAKER AND ALL
THESE WOMEN ARE REALLY FINE AND GOOD IN THIS, AND IF YOU GET AN
OPPORTUNITY, PLEASE WATCH IT BECAUSE IT MAY HELP YOU -- IT
MAY REMIND YOU WHAT NOT TO DO BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO
WATCH WHO COMES IN YOUR HOUSE AND, YOU KNOW, WHO'S FIXING WHAT
AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU GO DOWN AND LOOK AND SAY, OH, THAT LOOKS
SO STRANGE, LOOKS LIKE A CAMERA! SOMETIMES IT IS.
SO WE WANT YOU TO WATCH I WANT BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THIS STORY
TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. >> Stephen: WHOOPI, THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. >> THTHANK YOU.
>> STEPHEN: "CAUGHT IN HIS WEB" AIRS FEBRUARY 19TH ON
LIFETIME. WHOOPI GOLDBERG, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH REPRESENTATIVE RO KHANNA.
HEY EVERYBODY WELCOME BACK TO THE LATE SHOW.
FOLKS, MY NEXT GUEST IS A CALIFORNIA
CONGRESSMAN AND AUTHOR WHO SERVED AS CO-CHAIR FOR
BERNIE ( ANDERS' 2020 CAMPAIGN, TAUGHT ECONOMICS AT STANFORD,
AND WORKED IN THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
HIS NEW BOOK IS CALLED "DIGNITY IN A DIGITAL AGE."
PLEASE WELCOME, CONGRESSMAN RO KHANNA!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( BAND PLAYING )
>> Stephen: CONGRESSMAN, THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
THE BOOK IS "DIGNITY IN A DIGITAL AGE."
AND WE'LL GET TO THAT IN JUST ONE MOMENT.
YOU HAVE BEEN WRITING SINCE YOU WERE IN YOUR TEENS, GETTING
PUBLISHED, TOO, I MIGHT ADD. HERE IS YOU -- YOU SCHOOLED
GEORGE H.W. BUSH IN THE LEADUP TO THE FIRST GULF WAR.
LET ME READ A COUPLE OF THESE CLIPS HERE THAT WE'RE IN, A
LETTER THAT YOU SENT TO THE BUCS COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA COURIER
TIMES.
>> MY GRANDFATHER SPENT FOUR YEARS IN JAIL ALONGSIDE GANDHI.
YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT WHITE CONSTRUCTION HELPING COLONIALISM
IS DEAD ON AND INFLUENCED ME TO CARE ABOUT PEACE AND HUMAN
RIGHTS AND I WAS OPPOSED TO GOING TO WAR FOR MATERIAL
REASONS. >> Stephen: YOU'RE 14 YEAR.
YOU SAY WITH ANIMOSITY BETWEEN IRAQ AND THE UNITED STATES
ESCALATING THE CHANCE OF WAR OCCURRING INCREASES AS EACH DAY
PASSES. YOU GO ON TO SAY THIS IS A WAR
THAT WILL BE BROUGHT ON BECAUSE OF A MATERIALISTIC SOCIETY THAT
EVALUATES ONLY ON THE ECONOMIC ASPECT.
GO ON TO SAY EVERY SOLDIER'S LIFE HAS A PRICELESS MINORITY
VALUE WE SHOULD DEMAND FULL SUPPORT ECONOMICALLY AND
MILITARILY FROM ALL NATIONS AND MUST HAVE NO DOUBTS IN ENGAGING
IN WAR. THE 14-YEAR-OLD HAS A CLEAR YEA
ABOUT ARMED INTERVENTION. YOU'RE ON ARMED SERVICES RIGHT?
GIVEN THE RUSSIAN BUILDUP ON THE UKRAINIAN BORDER, WE'RE 30 YEARS
LATER FACING ANOTHER POTENTIAL WAR.
WHAT SHOULD THE UNITED STATES STRATEGY BE?
>> FIRST, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO JUSTIFICATION FOR PUTIN TO
INVADE UKRAINE AND WE HAVE TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT.
SECOND, WE WANT TO EXHAUST ALL DIPLOMATIC OPTIONS, AND I THINK
WE HAVE SOMETIME HOPEFULLY BECAUSE I DON'T THINK PUTIN IS
LIKELY TO GO IN DURING THE OLYMPICS ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF
HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH CHINA. SO THE PRESIDENT MADE IT CLEAR
THAT THERE WILL BE TOUGH FINANCIAL SANCTIONS, BUT HE
OUGHT TO HAVE DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION AND ACTUALLY UKRAINE'S
OWN PRESIDENT IS CALLING FOR CALM.
AND I HOPE HE AND SECRETARY BLINKEN WILL EXHAUST THE
DIPLOMATIC SOLUTIONS AND I THINK THEY CAN AVOID WAR.
WE HAVE TO AVOID WAR. ( APPLAUSE )
>> I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT. YOUR DISTRICT IS HOME TO APPLE,
INTEL AND YAHOO, AND YOUR NEW BOOK "DIGNITY IN A DIGITAL AGE"
IS ABOUT HOW TO MAKE TECH WORK FOR ALL OF US.
FIRST QUESTION, AND I NEED THIS -- MEAN THIS SEMISERIOUSLY,
WHAT IS THE INTERNET? WHAT HAS IT BECOME AS OPPOSED TO
WHAT ITS INTENTION WAS? >> THE SIMPLE QUESTIONS ARE THE
HARDEST. HERE IS HOW I WOULD DEFINE IT --
IT'S A NETWORK OF COMPUTERS CONNECTED THAT ALLOW US TO
COMMUNICATE, SHARE IDEAS IN A VIRTUAL SPACE.
>> Stephen: I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT OF IT AS AN AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THESE COMPUTERS AS TO HOW WE WILL COMMUNICATE WITH
EACH OTHER AND THAT THE PROBLEM NOW CERTAINLY IN TERMS OF
PRIVACY IS THAT SOME OF US ARE BEING HARVESTED WITHOUT OUR
KNOWLEDGE. SO NO COMMUNICATION IS GIVEN TO
US ABOUT THE KNOWLEDGE THAT IS TAKEN FROM US.
THE AGREEMENT IS ONE-SIDED. >> I COMPLETELY AGREE.
I MEAN, AND IT'S COMPROMISING YOUR FREEDOM.
I MEAN, THINK ABOUT IT -- THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE RUNNING THESE BIG
TECH COMPANIES CAN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO PURCHASE, THEY
MAY EVEN BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO THINK, THEY MAY
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE NEXT GOING TO DO BASED UPON YOUR DATA, AND
THEY CAN TAKE YOUR DATA AND GET YOU POLITICAL CANDIDATES THAT
YOU DON'T SUPPORT EVEN. TIM COOK HAS A COMMENCEMENT
ADDRESS WHERE HE SAYS FREEDOM TO BE HUMAN IS CONTINGENT ON
RESPECT FOR PRIVACY. >> Stephen: IS PRIVACY
NECESSARY FOR DIGNITY? >> ABSOLUTELY.
HOW CAN YOU HAVE A FREEDOM TO THINK, A FREEDOM TO BE FREE, A
FREEDOM TO MAKE MISTAKES IF I'VE HI SINGLE THING YOU'RE DOING IS
BEING COLLECTED. YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DO, THEY
COLLECT THIS INFORMATION AND TARGET THE MOST VULNERABLE.
I MEAN, Q Anon GREW BECAUSE Facebook AND OTHER PLATFORMS
INTEKSLY TARGETED OTHER PEOPLE WITH CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND LET
TO THEIR GROWTH. INSTAGRAM FOR TEENAGERS, LIKE
YOUR WORST EXPERIENCE AT JUNIOR HIGH MAGNIFIED, AND IT'S LEADING
TO TEENAGERS ARE SERIOUS. TEENAGERS HAVE DEPRESSION, ARE
COMMITTING SOUP SIDE, THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AND THEY CAN
STOP IT. THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE EVERYONE
LIKING EVERYTHING AND SHARING EVERYTHING.
YOU DON'T COME ON THE SHOW AND SPEW MISINFORMATION.
THINK ABOUT IF YOU SPENT YOUR HOUR TELLING LIES TO THE
COUNTRY, WHILE, WHY DON'T YOU DO IT?
IT'S NOT BECAUSE YOU FEAR BEING SUED, IT'S NOT BECAUSE YOU FEAR
POLITICAL REPERCUSSIONS, IT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVE SOME SENSE THAT
BEYOND THE COMEDY AND THE RATINGS YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU
WANT TO DO PUBLIC GOOD. WHY SHOULD IT BE DIFFERENT FOR
SOCIAL MEDIA? MAYBE YOU DON'T.
>> Stephen: I'M CHECKING WITH MY PRODUCER, THAT IS WHY WE DO
IT. ( APPLAUSE )
( LAUGHTER ) YOU WRITE "THE DIRTY SECRET IN
SILICON VALLEY IS CONGRESS WILL HOLD A HEARING BUT NOTHING
CHANGES." YOU WANT TO CREATE AN INTERNET
BILL OF RIGHTS. WHAT ARE THE TOP THREE THINGS
THAT HAVE TO BE IN THE BILL TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
>> THE BIGGEST THING IS BEFORE SOMEONE CAN COLLECT YOUR DATA,
YOU NEED TO SAY, YES, YOU CAN TAKE THE DATA.
>> Stephen: SO THE DEFAULT IS PRIVACY AND WE HAVE TO OPT IN.
>> EXACTLY BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THE DEFAULT IS THEY GET YOUR DATA
AND YOU HAVE TO CLICK EVERYTHING TO FIGURE OUT HOW NOT TO GIVE
THEM YOUR DATA. NO ONE DOES THAT.
AND THE USER SERVICE AGREEMENTS, HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY READ
THE USER SERVICE AGREEMENT? >> Stephen: I READ THE PART
THAT SAYS I AGREE. >> EXACTLY.
>> Stephen: YEAH. AND THEY MANIPULATE IT.
THEY HAVE DARK PATTERNS. THEY PUT THE BOX BIGGER WITH THE
RIGHT COLOR SO YOU CLICK ON IT. IT'S A VERY SOPHISTICATED THING,
BUT THE VERY BASIC IS NO DATA SHOULD GO WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT.
THE SECOND PART IS YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING TO YOUR
DATA. AND RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NO WAY OF
KNOWING. IF WE HAD KNOWN CAMBRIDGE
ANALYTICA PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED BECAUSE NONPROFITS
WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT, ASKED ABOUT IT AND NOT ALLOWED DONALD
TRUMP OR OTHER CANDIDATES TO USE DATA.
BUT IT'S OFFENSIVE THAT PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T SUPPORT A CANDIDATE',
YOUR INFORMATION IS USED AGAINST YOUR WILL TO SUPPORT A CANDIDATE
YOU DON'T SUPPORT. >> Stephen: THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR BEING HERE. THE BOOK IS "DIGNITY IN A
DIGITAL AGE." IT'S AVAILABLE STARTING
TOMORROW. CONGRESSMAN RO KHANNA,
EVERYBODY. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
>> Stephen: THAT'S IT FOR THE LAT E SHOW EVERYBODY.
TUNE IN TOMORROW, MY GUESTS WILL BE FAITH HILL AND
CLARISSA WARD FROM UKRAINE. JAMES CORDEN IS NEXT.
GOODNIGHT Y'ALL.
