SEX. ( LAUGHTER )
IS. SPEAK OF TRYING-- ONE PERSON
APPLAUDING ME HAVING SEX UP THERE.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU. SPEAKING OF TRYING TO ERASE
HISTORY: WE'RE LEARNING MORE ABOUT FORMER PRESIDENT,
"COUP-SSOLINI." THE JANUARY 6th COMMITTEE JUST
GOT NEW PROOF THAT HE WAS DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN PROPOSALS
TO USE HIS NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCIES TO SEIZE VOTING
MACHINES. IT'S QUITE A TURN FOR AN
ELECTION CAMPAIGN. HIS SLOGAN WENT FROM "KEEP
AMERICA GREAT" TO "SEIZE THEM, YOU FOOLS!"
( LAUGHTER ) AFTER YEARS OF BUILDING A THICK,
PROTECTIVE CALLOUS OVER MY HEART AND MY BRAIN JUST TO PROTECT
MYSELF FROM THE HOT, BLACK, TAR OF HIS NARCISSISTIC, EVIL
IMPULSES FOR ME TO TAKE THIS INFORMATION IN FOR THE
GARGANTUAN AND GROTESQUE VIOLATION OF EVERYTHING THAT
THIS COUNTRY HOLDS DEAR. BUT I THINK IT'S WORTH TAKING
A MOMENT RIGHT NOW TO LET THIS SINK IN, TO MARINATE IN THE
MADNESS. AT HOME, YOU MIGHT WANT TO PAUSE
YOUR DVR TO SCREAM INTO A BAG OR PUNCH A HOLE IN THE DRYWALL,
BECAUSE THE FORMER PRESIDENT, STILL THE LEADER OF ONE OF THE
TWO MAJOR PARTIES WHO HAS ALL OF THE REPUBLICANS BALLS IN A
LITTLE VELVET POUCH THAT HE WEARS AROUND HIS NECK AS AN
AMULET, WANTED U.S. TROOPS TO GO INTO YOUR LOCAL POLLING PLACE,
GRAB THE MACHINES, THROW 'EM IN A TRUCK, THEN GOD KNOWS WHAT.
WATERBOARD THEM TILL THEY SAID HE WON?
YOU SHOULD BE ALARMED, EVEN IF YOU VOTED FOR HIM, BECAUSE
MILITARY COUPS DO NOT LEAD TO HEALTHY SOCIETIES.
NO ONE EVERY SAYS, "IF ONLY WE COULD EMULATE THE ECONOMIC
MIRACLE THAT IS MYANMAR." AND HE TRIED SO HARD TO GET THIS
DONE. IN FACT, IN FACT--
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) MYANMAR.
IN FACT, IN HIS FOUR YEARS IN OFFICE THIS MAY BE THE THING HE
WORKED HARDEST ON. IN NOVEMBER, HE ASKED WHETHER
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT COULD SEIZE THE MACHINES,
THEY SAID, "WHAT? NO."
SO, HE DIRECTED HIS LAWYER, RUDOLPH W. GIULIANI, TO ASK THE
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY IF IT COULD LEGALLY TAKE CONTROL
OF VOTING MACHINES IN KEY SWING STATES.
NO ONE ASKS IF THEY'RE LEGALLY ALLOWED TO DO SOMETHING UNLESS
THEY'RE PRETTY SURE IT'S ILLEGAL:
"HEY, YOU'RE MY LAWYER. LET ME ASK YOU THIS.
IS THERE ANY WAY I COULD LEGALLY SELL HEROIN AS AN
ANTIDEPRESSANT? NO?
WELL, THAT NEWS MAWKS ME REALLY SAD.
YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HELP? A LITTLE BLACK TAR ZOLOFT!"
THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY TURNED HIM DOWN.
BUT THE EX-PRESIDENT ALSO' REVIEWED A PROPOSAL TO HAVE
THE PENTAGON TAKE CONTROL OF THE MACHINES.
THAT IS HORRIFYING. THE ONLY TIME THE MILITARY
SHOULD TAKE CONTROL OF THE MACHINES IS WHEN WE INEVITABLY
GO TO WAR AGAINST OUR ROBOT OVERLORDS.
I WILL NOT BOW DOWN BEFORE MY ROOMBA.
( LAUGHTER ) BY DISGRACED FORMER NATIONAL
SECURITY ADVISOR MICHAEL FLYNN AND DISGRACED CURRENT LAWYER
SYDNEY POWELL. BUT EVEN MR. GIULIANI FELT THAT
THE IDEA OF BRINGING IN THE MILITARY WAS BEYOND THE PALE.
DO YOU KNOW HOW CRAZY YOU HAVE TO BE TO HEAR THAT YOU'VE GONE
TOO FAR FOR RUDY GIULIANI? ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
( APPLAUSE ) TOO MUCH TO DRINK FROM RUDY
GIULIANI. OR YOU'VE GOT TO GET THOSE
BOTTOM TEETH FIXED, FROM RUDY GIULIANI.
OR DON'T TRY TO FISH YOUR PENIS OUT IN FRONT OF A "BORAT" FILM
CREW, FROM RUDY GIULIANI. AND SO FAR--
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) AND SO FAR, NONE OF THESE GOONS
ARE IN JAIL. OR DISBARRED.
BUT THAT COULD CHANGE... IS WHAT I TELL MYSELF EVERY
NIGHT WHEN MY HEAD HITS THE PILLOW.
THE JANUARY 6th COMMITTEE IS LUCKY THEY'RE LEARNING ANY OF
THIS, BECAUSE SOME OF THE WHITE HOUSE RECORDS TURNED OVER TO
THEM HAD TO BE TAPED BACK TOGETHER BY NATIONAL ARCHIVES
STAFF BECAUSE THEY HAD BEEN RIPPED UP.
SOUNDS LIKE DURING THE PANDEMIC, THE PEOPLE AT THE NATIONAL
ARCHIVES ALSO GOT INTO PUZZLES: "OKAY, IT'S FUN.
I START WITH THE CORNERS, THEN I DO THE SIDES.
OOH! GOT A KETCHUP STAIN HERE.
WAIT, I SAW ANOTHER ONE. HERE'S ANOTHER RED ONE.
OH, THE REDS DON'T MATCH. WAIT, THIS IS FROM MARCH 21.
THAT'S A TACO TUESDAY. THIS IS SALSA!"
NOW, IT VIOLATES THE PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS ACT TO TEAR
UP OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS. BUT THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAD A
VERY GOOD REASON: HE WAS AFRAID OF GOING TO JAIL.
ALSO, HE WAS KNOWN INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE FOR HIS HABIT OF
TEARING PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS INTO SHREDS AND TOSSING THEM ON
THE FLOOR, WHICH ADVISERS CALLED HE PRESIDENT'S UNOFFICIAL
"FILING SYSTEM." ( LAUGHTER )
"FILING SYSTEM." ( AS MOB GUY )
THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA TESTIFY AGAINST US.
LET'S JUST SAY ROCCO IS FILING WITH THE FISHES."
( APPLAUSE ) IT WASN'T JUST TEARING.
ACCORDING TO WHITE HOUSE ADVISERS, HE ONCE ATE A
SENSITIVE DOCUMENT. HE WOULD HAVE EATEN MORE
SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS, BUT HE RAN OUT OF RANCH.
( LAUGHTER ) PUBLIC OFFICE, FLORIDA GOVERNOR
AND MAN DESCRIBING WHAT ADELE'S MUSIC MEANS TO HIM,
RON DESANTIS. ( AUDIENCE BOOS )
THERE WERE A COUPLE OF NAZI RALLIES IN ORLANDO.
I ASSUME THEY WERE TRYING TO ANNEX THE SUDETENLAND PAVILION
AT EPCOT. NOW, THIS IS TERRIBLE, AND THE
EASIEST THING IN THE WORLD TO CONDEMN, UNLESS YOU'RE
RON DeSANTIS, WHO REMAINED SILENT.
IT'S BEEN SAID THE ONLY THING NECESSARY FOR EVIL TO SUCCEED IS
FOR GOOD MEN TO SAY NOTHING. IT'S ALSO BAD WHEN RON DeSANTIS
SAYS NOTHING. THEN DeSANTIS GOT CORNERED BY
SOME NO-GOOD REPORTERS WANTING TO KNOW THINGS LIKE, "HEY, GOV:
SO NAZIS? WHERE DO YOU COME DOWN ON THAT
WHOLE DEAL?" BUT DeSANTIS IDENTIFIED THE TRUE
ENEMY: DEMOCRATS. >> WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY IS
THESE PEOPLE, THESE DEMOCRATS WHO ARE TRYING TO USE THIS AS
SOME TYPE OF POLITICAL ISSUE TO TRY TO SMEAR ME AS IF I HAD
SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT-- WE'RE NOT PLAYING THEIR GAME.
>> Stephen: HE SEEMS TO THINK BEING ASKED HOW HE FEELS ABOUT
NAZIS IS SOME KIND OF GOTCHA QUESTION INSTEAD OF THE BIGGEST
SOFTBALL QUESTION OF ALL TIME. WATCH.
I THINK NAZIS ARE BAD. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
NOT FROM RON DeSANTIS. ( LAUGHTER )

TENSIONS OVER IN EASTERN EUROPE. HERE'S WHAT'S GOING ON:
VLADIMIR PUTIN HAS GOT RUSSIAN TROOPS MASSING ON THE BORDERS OF
UKRAINE AND HAS USED THIS SELF-GENERATED CRISIS TO DEMAND
THAT NATO PLEDGE TO HALT FURTHER EASTWARD EXPANSION AND AGREE NOT
TO ADMIT UKRAINE AS A MEMBER. THAT'S NOT FAIR.
UKRAINE ALREADY MADE IT THROUGH NATO RUSH WEEK.
( LAUGHTER ) GREASED ALBUM CLENCHED IN THEIR
BUTT CHEEKS UP A FLIGHT OF STAIRS OR NOTHING?
( LAUGHTER ) STORY.
( LAUGHTER ) NEGOTIATING.
TODAY, THERE WAS A PHONE CALL BETWEEN U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE
AND MAN WHO ALWAYS MAKES YOU WATCH HIM EAT DURING ZOOM
MEETINGS, ANTONY BLINKEN, AND RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTER AND MAN
WHO POSTPONED LUNCH FOR THIS ZOOM MEETING, SERGEY LAVROV.
IN ADVANCE OF THE PHONE CALL, ONE U.S. OFFICIAL CLAIMED THE
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT HAS DELIVERED A WRITTEN RESPONSE TO A U.S.
PROPOSAL AIMED AT DE-ESCALATING THE UKRAINE
CRISIS. I BELIEVE WE ACTUALLY HAVE A
COPY OF THAT WRITTEN RESPONSE: "DEAR SIR OR MADAM, KABOOM!
KISSES, VLAD." ( LAUGHTER )
THE KREMLIN CLAIMS THEY HAVE NOT SENT AN OFFICIAL REPLY, BUT WE
GOT A PREVIEW TODAY OF THEIR RESPONSE WHEN PUTIN TOLD
REPORTERS, "IT IS ALREADY CLEAR THAT THE FUNDAMENTAL RUSSIAN
CONCERNS WERE IGNORED. WE DID NOT SEE AN ADEQUATE
CONSIDERATION OF OUR THREE KEY REQUIREMENTS."
YES, YOU MUST ADDRESS THE THREE KEY REQUIREMENTS:
GIVE. ME.
UKRAINE. ( LAUGHTER )
YESTERDAY, IN THE U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL, THE U.S. AND RUSSIAN
AMBASSADORS GOT INTO A DIPLOMATIC BRAWL.

EXAGGERATING THE THREAT, BUT LOOK HOW MANY TROOPS RUSSIA HAS
ALL AROUND UKRAINE. THAT'S A LOT OF RED.

TURNIP." ( LAUGHTER )
BIG... SOUP." ( APPLAUSE )
EVERYBODY LOVES A GOOD TURNIP JOKE.
ONE WORRYING SIGN THAT A RUSSIAN INVASION MAY BE IMMINENT IS THAT
THE U.S. HAS SEEN INDICATIONS THAT RUSSIA HAS POSITIONED
SUPPLIES OF BLOOD NEAR UKRAINE'S BORDERS.
NOTHING GOOD REQUIRES SUPPLIES OF BLOOD.
"HEY, NEIGHBOR, WANNA JOIN CANDACE AND ME FOR APPLE PICKING
NEXT SUNDAY? GREAT.
OH, BRING A COUPLE PINTS OF BLOOD.
NO REASON." TO DISCOURAGE RUSSIA FROM
INVADING, A SENATE PANEL SAID IT'S CLOSE TO APPROVING THE
"MOTHER OF ALL SANCTIONS." OH, AND MOTHERS KNOW SANCTIONS:
"DAKOTA, IF YOUR GRADES DON'T IMPROVE, NO SCREEN TIME, NO
PARTIES, AND NO EXPORTING OIL TO THE EUROPEAN BLOC.
I DON'T CARE IF CHINA'S GETTING AWAY WITH CRUSHING THE UYGHURS.
NO. AH-AH!"
NO! ( LAUGHTER )
SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA'S LARGEST BANKS, FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
AND AND SOVEREIGN DEBT, WHICH COULD CAUSE SEVERE INFLATION, A
STOCK MARKET CRASH, AND OTHER FORMS OF FINANCIAL PANIC THAT
WOULD EFFECTIVELY CUT THE RUSSIAN ECONOMY OFF FROM MUCH OF
THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM. THEY'RE GOING TO DESTROY THE
BANKING SYSTEM IN RUSSIA, ESSENTIALLY PLUNGING THE COUNTRY
BACK INTO 2008. THEY'LL THEN MAKE THEM DOWN A
FOUR LOKO AND WATCH THE "INDIANA JONES" WITH
SHIA LABOUF. ( LAUGHTER )
FIND OUT IS NOT THAT CONCERNED ABOUT UKRAINIAN SOVEREIGNTY
BEING CRUSHED TO DUST UNDER THE IRON HEEL OF VLADIMIR PUTIN?
UKRAINIANS. THROUGHOUT THIS CRISIS, THEIR
PRESIDENT, VOLODMYR ZELENSKY, HAS BEEN STRANGELY RELAXED.
AND ACCORDING TO CNN'S CLARISSA WARD, HIS PEOPLE ARE FOLLOWING
SUIT. >> WHEN YOU TALK TO PEOPLE HERE,
THERE IS NO SENSE OF HEIGHTENED ANXIETY OR ALARM.
WE HAVE BEEN HERE A COUPLE OF DAYS NOW.
PEOPLE HERE ARE ANXIOUS A LITTLE BIT.
BUT, LARGELY, THEY SEEM TO BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE
A WAR. >> Stephen: YES, THEY'RE A
LITTLE ANXIOUS, BUT THEY'VE DEALT WITH IT IN AN INTERESTING
WAY. AS TENSIONS HAVE ESCALATED,
SOME UKRAINIANS HAVE HIT THE DANCE FLOOR IN CLUBS TO ESCAPE A
SENSE OF DREAD FOR A FLEETING MOMENT.
OF COURSE. WE ALL KNOW THE FAMOUS
AFFIRMATION: DANCE LIKE NO ONE'S INVADING.
( LAUGHTER ) MAJOR RUSSIAN INVASION OF ITS
WESTERN NEIGHBOR, PLUNGING THE WORLD INTO THE MOST DANGEROUS
STANDOFF SINCE THE COLD WAR? OR IS THE U.S. MAKING A MOUNTAIN
OUT OF A MOLEHILL THAT VLADIMIR PUTIN HAS SURROUNDED WITH
100,000 TROOPS? WHEN WE RETURN, WE'LL ASK CNN'S
CLARISSA WARD VIA SATELLITE FROM UKRAINE.
STICK AROUND.
HEY EVERYBODY.
WELCOME BACK! TO "THE LATE SHOW."
FOLKS, JOINING ME NOW FROM UKRAINE, PLEASE WELCOME CNN
CHIEF INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT, CLARRISA WARD.
CLARISSA, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANK YOU. >> Stephen: IN THE U.N.
YESTERDAY, THE UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA WERE AT LOG LOGGERHEADS.
THE U.S. SAYS THE UKRAINE IS-- IS AN URGENT AND DANGEROUS
SITUATION IN DANGER OF RUSSIA INVADING.
THE RUSSIANS SAY THAT THE UNITED STATES IS EXAGGERATING.
YOU'VE TALKED TO THE UKRAINE YABS.
HOW ARE THEY FEEL ABOUT ALL OF THIS?
>> IT'S REALLY EXTRAORDINARY, BECAUSE YOU WOULD EXPECT THERE
TO BE AN ALL-OUT PANIC, RIGHT. ANY OTHER COUNTRY, THERE ARE
120,000 TROOPS ON YOUR BORDER. THERE IS A BUILD-UP OF MILITARY
HARDWARE. YOU'VE GOT RUSSIAN SHIPS ALSO
DOWN IN THE SOUTH. YOU'D THINK THAT PEOPLE WOULD BE
REALLY FREAKED OUT. BUT WHAT'S INTERESTING IN
UKRAINE IS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH THE THREAT OF
RUSSIAN AGGRESSION FOR EIGHT YEARS.
AND THEY LIVED THROUGH A COUPLE OF YEARS OF A PRETTY VICIOUS
FIGHTING BETWEEN UKRAINIAN FORCES AND PRO-RUSSIAN
SEPARATISTS. WAR HAS KIND OF BECOME THE
FABRIC OF LIFE HERE. AND AS A RESULT, I THINK THAT
UNTIL THERE ARE ACTUALLY BOMBS FALLING OR SHOTS BEING FIRED,
PEOPLE DON'T PAY AS MUCH ATTENTION TO THE RHETORIC COMING
FROM EITHER SIDE. SO, LIKE, THE THING THAT PEOPLE
WOULD TELL ME A LOT IS, "WE DON'T LISTEN TO POLITICS.
WE DON'T WORRY ABOUT POLITICS." UNTIL THINGS ACTUALLY START
HAPPENING, THIS IS ALL IN THE REALM OF POLITICS FOR THEM.
AND UKRAINIAN LEADERS ARE REALLY TRYING, ALSO, TO KEEP PEOPLE
CALM. AND THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THEM
COMING OUT AND REALLY, FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE SEEN,
DISAGREEING WITH AMERICA AND SAYING, "WE DON'T THINK AN
ALL-OUT INVASION IS POSSIBLE. WE WANT EVERYBODY TO STAY CALM."
>> Stephen: I WAS SAYING BEFORE THE CRISIS IS A
SELF-GENERATED ONE BY RUSSIA. WHAT DOES HE NEED TO ACUATE THIS
INTO AN INVASION? HE'S GOT THE TROOPS THERE.
WHAT NEED TO HAPPEN FOR HIM TO JUSTIFY THE ACTION THAT'S MOST
FEARED? THE TANKS.
>> SO I THINK THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT
SORT OF U.S. INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT, IS THAT HE WOULD STAGE SOME KIND OF A FALSE FLAG
OPERATION, BY WHICH I MEAN, IN SOME SORT OF PRO-RUSSIAN
SEPARATIST AREA-- WHERE, BY THE WAY, THEY HAVE BEEN HANDING OUT
RUSSIAN PASSPORTS LIKE CANDY FOR THE PAST YEARS," HE WOULD SAY
THERE'S BEEN AN ATTACK ON UKRAINIAN FORCES.
THESE ARE RUSSIAN CITIZENS. WE MUST GO IN TO PROTECT THEM,
RIGHT. AND THAT GIVES HIM THE SORT OF
FIG LEAF OR PRETEXT OF SAYING, "I HAVE AN OBLIGATION.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE RUSSIAN PASSPORTS.
THEY'RE RUSSIAN CITIZENS. WE NEED TO OFFER THEM DEFENSES."
AND THEN BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU'VE GOT RUSSIAN TANKS ROLLING
ACROSS THAT BORDER INTO DETERIORATE THAT, YOU KNOW, IT
MAY BE UNDER THE CONTROL OF PRO-RUSSIAN SEPARATISTS, BUT
THIS IS STILL PART OF UKRAINE, WHICH IS A SOVEREIGN COUNTRY.
AND IT STILL WOULD CONSTITUTE, YOU KNOW, A REALLY BIG DEAL,
EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT AN ALL -OUT INVASION.
>> Stephen: DO THE UKRAINIANS HAVE THE SAME SORT OF NATIONAL
IDENTITY THAT AMERICANS DO? BECAUSE WE REALLY THINK OF
OURSELVES AS AMERICANS FIRST, NO MATTER WHAT OUR ETHNICITY IS,
AND THAT WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE COMING INTO OUR COUNTRY WITHOUT
PERMISSION. WE HAVE A WALL-- THEY NEED A
WALL. WOULD THEY LIKE A WALL?
BECAUSE WE HAVE A WALL WE'RE NOT GOING TO USE TO THE SOUTHERN
BORDER ( LAUGHS )
>> THERE ARE PLENTY WHO WOULD LIKE A WALL.
UKRAINIANS DEFINITELY HAVE A STRONG SENSE OF NATIONAL
IDENTITY, BUT IT SHIFTS A LITTLE BIT AS YOU MOVE THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY. WHEN YOU GO TO THE FAR WEST OF
THE COUNTRY, BORDERING POLAND, YOU SEE MUCH MORE UKRAINIANS WHO
REALLY WANT TO ENGAGE WITH THE EUROPEAN UNION AND WITH THE WEST
AND WITH NATO. WHEN YOU MOVE TO THE FURTHER
PARTS OF THE EAST, YOU SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHERE RUSSIAN IS THEIR
FIRST LANGUAGE. THEY HAVE FAMILY IN RUSSIA.
WE INTERVIEWED A UKRAINIAN SOLDIER ON THE FRONT LINES
TODAY, HE IS A UKRAINIAN SOLDIER FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY, BUT HE
DID NOT WANT TO GIVE HIS NAME ON CAMERA, BECAUSE HIS FAMILY IS IN
DONBAS, AND THAT'S SEPARATIST REGION.
AND I HOPE THAT HELPS PEOPLE UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT, THIS IS
COMPLEX. THIS IS NUANCED.
RUSSIA AND UKRAINE, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE BORDERS, HAVE A LONG
HISTORY, THEY'RE INTERMINGLED IN TERMS OF FAMILY, IN TERMS OF THE
LANGUAGE, IN TERMS OF THE HISTORY, IN TERMS OF THE
CULTURE. SO IT'S NOT A CLEAR-CUT ISSUE OF
JUST, YOU KNOW, UKRAINIANS HATE RUSSIA, AND RUSSIA IS THE ENEMY.
FOR MANY UKRAINIANS, OF COURSE, RUSSIA IS THE ENEMY.
BUT FOR MANY OTHERS, THEY ARE ALSO VERY ENMESHED IN RUSSIAN
LIFE. >> Stephen: I'M OLD ENOUGH TO
REMEMBER THAT THE SOVIET UNIWOULD COMMONLY TRY TO TEST
NEW PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES BY CREATING A CRISIS, A
FOREIGN POLICY CRISE EARLY IN THAT PRESIDENT'S TERM, TO SEE
WHAT KIND OF MAN THEY WERE DEALING WITH?
COULD THIS BE PART OF THE IT, TOO, RATTLING THE CAGE TO SEE
THE RESPONSE FROM THE AMERICAN ADMINISTRATION.
>> I THINK PRESIDENT PUTIN IS ALWAYS TRYING TO PUSH BUTONS
LIKE, ESPECIALLY WITH EACH PRESIDENT, TO SEE WHO THEY ARE
AND WHAT THEY STAND FOR. AND I THINK MAYBE-- AND IT'S
SPECULATION-- PRESIDENT PUTIN SEES PRESIDENT BIDEN AND SEES
HOW MUCH BIDEN AND HIS ADMINISTRATION HAVE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT CHINA. "WE WANT TO FOCUS ON CHINA.
THIS IS THE BIG CHALLENGE. THIS IS THE BIG THREAT.
THIS IS THE BIG COMPETITOR." SO PERHAPS HE'S TRYING TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THAT MOMENT AND BOTH KIND OF REESTABLISH HIMSELF
AS BEING A MAJOR PLAYER OF, YOU KNOW, MAJOR INTERNATIONAL
CONSEQUENCE ON THE WORLD STAGE, BUT ALSO HOPEFULLY TRY TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THE FACT THAT MAYBE PRESIDENT BIDEN DOESN'T WANT TO
BE AS FOCUSED ON RUSSIA, THAT HE WOULD PREFER TO HAVE, YOU KNOW,
CHINA BE THE NUMBER ONE THING ON HIS AGENDA.
BUT WITH ALL OF THESE THINGS, STEPHEN-- AND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T
KNOW IF YOU FOUND THIS, BUT, LIKE, AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU
ALWAYSEND UP COMING BACK TO THE SAME THING, WHICH IS WHAT IS
PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN THINKING RIGHT NOW?
>> >> Stephen: IS THIS SO
IMPORTANT TO HIM? WHY IS UKRAINE SO IMPORTANT TO
HIM? >> WELL, IF YOU'VE HAD THE
LUXURY OF READING-- HE WROTE A LETTER ABOUT THIS LAST SUMMER.
IT'S EXCEPTIONALLY LONG AND EXCEPTIONAL DETAILED.
IT'S, LIKE, YOU KNOW, A HISTORICAL TOME.
HE VIEWS UKRAINE AND RUSSIA AS BEING SORT OF SPIRITUALLY AND
RELIGIOUSLY AND LINGUISTICALLY AND HISTORICALLY AND CULTURALLY
KIND OF ONE AND THE SAME, BONDED TOGETHER.
, YOU KNOW, WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT THE COLLAPSE OF THE SOVIET UNION
AND HE DESCRIBES IT AS ONE OF THE GREATEST CATASTROPHES, HE'S
TALKING IN NO SMALL PART ABOUT UKRAINE AND THAT DEEP, DEEP THAT
HE BELIEVES EXISTS THERE. SO WHEN HE SEES UKRAINIANS
TURNING TOWARDS THE TEST AND OUSTING THE PRESIDENT WHO WAS
HERE BEFORE, YA, IN OKOVICH, WHO WAS THE KREMLIN'S MAN AND HAVING
A REVOLUTION AND WANTING TO BE PART OF NATO, THAT'S ANATHEMA TO
EVERYTHING HE STANDS FOR. IT FEEDS INTO THIS IDEA WHICH IS
SORT OF, YOU KNOW, A MANTRA OF HIS, WHICH IS NATO ENCIRCLEMENT.
THE WEST IS TRYING TO CASTRATE RUSSIA, TO WEAKEN RUSSIA, TO
ENCIRCLE US AND PUT THEIR WEAPONS THERE AND THEIR FORCES
THERE. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HE
REALLY WILL GO TO GREAT, GREAT LENGTHS TO PREVENT.

PEOPLE ARE WATCHING? >> WELL, HONESTLY, THE TENNESSEE
TITANS WERE PLAYING IN THIS PARTICULAR SUPER BOWL, AND THAT
CALMED ME BECAUSE I WAS SO PROUD OF OUR TEAM.
BUT I DID SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN THE RESTROOM JUST REHEARSING.
SERIOUSLY, I DID, WITH A BOOM BOX, LITERALLY, A BOOM BOX, IN
THE PUBLIC RESTROOM BEFORE I WALKED OUT.
I WALKED FROM THE PUBLIC RESTROOM OUT TO THE FIELD AND
SANG THE NATIONAL ANTHEM. >> Stephen: YOU WERE AFRAID
YOU WOULD FORGET THE LYRICS? >> I HAVE FORGOTTEN THE LYRICS.
>> WOW. >> I HAVE.
IT'S ONE OF THOSE SONGS YOU KNOW SO WELL AND YOU THINK I'LL NEVER
FORGET THE LYRICS. IT HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE.
IT WAS AT A PLAY-OFF GAME MANY YEARS PRIOR.
I WAS AT THE DALLAS-- I WAS SINGING AT A DALLAS PLAY-OFF
GAME, THE BEGINNING OF MY CAREER.
AND I'M WALK-- AND I WAS ASKED TO SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
PLAY-OFF GAME. AND I I'M WALKING OUT TO THE
CENTER OF THE FIELD WITH THIS VERY GENEROUS GUARD, THIS WOMAN
THAT WAS WALKING ME OUT. AND I SAY TO HER-- AND THIS IS
TELEVISED, "WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW JUST THE FIRST WORD OF THE
NATIONAL ANTHEM?" ( LAUGHTER )
THE O." AND SHE SAID, "SEARLY?"
AND WE'RE WALKING HAND IN HAND, AND I SAID, "I'M SERIOUS.
I'M VERY SERIOUS." SHE SAID "OH, MY, HONEY, I DON'T
KNOW." AND I SAID-- I SAID --
>> Stephen: THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR.
>> I DON'T KNOW-- I DON'T KNOW-- I DON'T KNOW, EITHER.
OKAY I'M JUST GOING TO SING "AMAZING GRACE" SO THEY'LL
FORGIVE ME FOR THAT. >> Stephen: YOU BAILED ON THE
NATIONAL ANTHEM. >> I DID NOT, I DID NOT.
BUT HONEST TO GOD, WHEN I HIT THAT CENTER AND IT WENT LIVE, IF
I DIDN'T HAVE O, SAY," IT WAS GOING TO BE
♪ AMAZING GRACE." >> Stephen: WAS IT A TRACK OR
A CAPPELLA. >> I WAS NAKED LIFE.
IT WAS IT. WHAT YOU SAW IN THE CENTER OF
THAT CIRCLE, IT WAS-- THAT WAS ME.
SO IT WAS EITHER GOING TO BE ♪ O SAY ♪
>> Stephen: I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE TO SING "AMAZING
GRACE "TO THE TUNE OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.
>> I THOUGHT I WOULD SING "AMAZING GRACE" AND BE FORGIVEN.
BUT IT WORKED OUT. >> Stephen: COUNTRY STAR NICK
GUYTON WAS ANNOUNCED. DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR HER.
ARE YOU GUYS FRIENDS? >> AMAZING ARTIST.
I HAVE NOT MET HER. BUT I AM SUCH A HUGE FAN AND
SUPPORTER, AND SHE IS GOING TO SLAY IT.
>> Stephen: NIKI, THE FIRST WORD IS O.
>> SHE'S GOING TO SLAY IT. >> Stephen: THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR BEING HERE. >> AM I DONE?
>> Stephen: YOU CAN SAY, BUT WE HAVE TO GO SELL SOME SOAP.
>> OKAY, SOAP IS GOOD. YEAH, GOOD SOAP, BYE.
>> Stephen: NEW EPISODES OF "1883" PREMIERE SUNDAYS ON
PARAMOUNT+. IT'S FAITH HILL, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH A PERFORMANCE BY AURORA.
>> Stephen: AND NOW PERFORMING, "A TEMPORARY HIGH" FROM HER
