11:35 pm
captioning sponsored by cbs >> stephen: stephen. stephen. huh. you know, i wonder how my life would be different fispelled it with a "v"? hmmm... ( laughter ) >> you're awesome, steven with a "v." >> stephen: i know! ( laughter ) i smoke? no, no, no. "p" "h" it is. >> it's "the late show with stephen colbert."
11:36 pm
tonight, stephen welcomes will forte. dermot mulroney. and wyatt cenac. featuring jon batiste and stay human. and now live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york, it's stephen colbert! ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: hey, everybody! hey! thanks, everybody! woooo! wooo! guess what? thanks, everybody. that's very nice. welcome to the "late show." i'm stephen colbert. and for this halloween ♪ i'll be a tree
11:37 pm
( laughter ) well, i'm going to have wood. i don't know if i'm going to be a tree. well, there's one story everybody's talking about: game one of the world series between the chicago cubs and the cleveland indians. ( cheers and applause ) come on! what excitement, one imagines. because, we tape this show in the afternoon, so i did not actually see the game. but as the host of a topical late night show, i have a moral obligation to recap the game for you, so here it goes. ready? here we go. tonight there was incredible pitching, but obviously, hitting a big part of it. the game was a little slow at one point, but then really picked up when things happened, especially that one thing they're showing on the
11:38 pm
highlightss, tonight. incredible. looks amazing. highlights. look amazing in slow motion, especially. it was an exciting start to the series for the winning team from that midwestern city that starts with the letter "c." their fans are clearly partying near the lake tonight and, of course, the losing fans are pretty sad standing by the lake. but if it's any comfort to the losing team's fans, that other city's football team really sucks. speaking of things that are sucking, obamacare. the government just announced that next year premiums are going up by 25%. i haven't seem obama hike something so high since he stopped wearing mom jeans. ( laughter ) it explains why the picture on the obamacare website has gone from this... to this. so there it is. affordable healthcare will just
11:39 pm
never work for this country. insane medical bills are as american as hot dogs, apple pie, and the $3,600 bill to remove the hot dog lodged in your apple pie hole. ( applause ) it's not the hole you think. ( laughter ) and the next president clearly will have to come in and clean us this mess. unless it's trump, in which case, all health care will be replaced by a "dr. oz" episode about calf implants. ( applause ) speaking of donald trump, i'm starting to worry about our future not-president. ( laughter ) some weird stuff. ( applause ) some weird stuff happening on stage with him. yesterday, he held a rally in
11:40 pm
tampa, florida, and you might want to get the children out of the room because things got pretty steamy. there he is on stage, saying hi to the crowd, going over to hug one of his loved ones, and it's an american flag. yes, that's right. donald trump just groped the american flag. ( applause ) ( cheers and applause ) ♪ ♪ you know, they let you do that if you're a star. i feel sorry for the flag. flag had to take it, because those colors don't run. this is true. i was actually watching tv last night. i saw this when it happened. i was having a conversation my wife, and i said, wait. and i had to watch that three times last night to make sure i wasn't having a stroke.
11:41 pm
jim, can we see the magic moment? we didn't mock that up. that is insane. he knows we salute the flag in america, right? we don't dry hump it. ( cheers and applause ) oh! oh! who does that? i don't even know how to describe what he's doing. he's guessing it a reach-around. i'm not sure. this is the moment in the movie where we find out he's an alien, by the way. this might be the only time in history a flag burns itself. ( cheers and applause ) how many more? one, two, three. how many more? i got another one. okay, one more. it's really surprising to see trump going after old glory like that. normally, he goes for much younger glory. amazingly, that's not the weirdest story to come out of a trump rally recently. listen to what he said today in florida:
11:42 pm
>> i love the signs behind me, "blacks for trump." i like those signs. "blacks for trump." you watch. you watch. >> stephen: well, we did watch. and that sign right behind him is being held by a middle-aged white lady. ( cheers and applause ) i'm sure there's an explanation. i'm sure there's an explanation. maybe her name is doris black and she's there proudly representing the black family. also, we can't see the back of the sign. maybe it says "blacks for trump, might exist somewhere." ( laughter ) ( applause ) she's just like wooo! wooo!
11:43 pm
a giant credit card or something. i'm not sure. but despite trump's appeal to america's palest african americans, some members of the g.o.p. are trying to distance themselveses from donald trump. in fact, five republicans are threatening lawsuits over tv ads linking them to donald trump. yes, the trump name is not what it used to be. in fact, the trump tower has now changed its name to "building." just a building. doesn't matter who built me. it doesn't matter who built me. come in here! and i don't blame republicans for being upset. take the case of florida congressman and the friendliest name for a pirate, david jolly. we're going to candy island. one imagines a pirate with that name would say.
11:44 pm
democrats couldn't find any photos tying jolly to trump, so they just photoshopped trump with his arm around jolly. that is not fair, democrats. with photoshop, you can make anyone seem like friends, even hillary and bill clinton. ( applause ) and if you're gong to photoshop someone, at least make it interesting. make it a three-way with trump, jolly, and american flag. ( cheers and applause ) jolly is cut. that guy is cut. very fit. point is, democrats are dragging everyone into this election, even me. yes, this is good. because today, we at the "late show" found out we're a wikileak! yup. yeah. i'm happy about it, too. as you know, wikileaks has been releasing emails from the clinton campaign, because they're committed to
11:45 pm
transparency-- or however you say "transparency" in russian. ( russian accent ) transparenchnik. ( laughter ) transparenchnik. well, julien assange just pinched out another wiki-dump, and it included a clinton campaign email from last year, when i had vice president joe biden on my show. team clinton was very suspicious that biden was going to make a major announcement. one clinton staffer wrote, "my prediction: biden announces his run on stephen colbert's show. i don't think he'd take him unless he was making news." yeah, you got me there. you got me there. why would i talk to the vice president of the united states unless he was making news? otherwise, you're just stuck in a boring conversation with joe biden. and they were scared of biden running. another clinton staffer responded, "lord, have mercy." and the lord did have mercy on clinton. not only did biden not run, but
11:46 pm
lo, god hath granted us a trump. ( laughter ) ( applause ) ( cheers and applause ) we've got a great show for you tonight. will forte is here. but when we return, i will go live to amish country and ask why they're willing to be on tv. so stick around. ♪ ♪

jon, i'm excited. you have a very special guest sitting in with the band tonight. who do you here? >> jon: oh, yes, indeed. ladies and gentlemen, how about a round of applause for mitski. >> stephen: thai, thank you for being here. thank you for joining us. we'll hear some songs from mitski's new album, "puberty 2" tonight. i'm very excited. i am presently going through puberty, 2. hair showing up in places. quite alarming. folks, with donald trump falling behind in the polls, he needs every vote he can get. especially in swing states like
11:52 pm
pennsylvania, where a pro trump pac is trying to court the amish vote. this is the perfect demographic for trump. they're the only voters left who haven't googled him. ( laughter ) ( applause ) one selling point for the amish is that trump is a builder, and the amish are known for building. and, apparently, the amish like the fact that trump has a family-owned business, whereas hillary clinton has a business-owned family. now, in order to seal the deal, they even put up a billboard in amish country that reads, "vote trump: hardworking, pro-life, and family dedicated... just like you." in fact, trump is so dedicated to family, he can't stop starting them. hard line tow say. ( cheers and applause ) now, i wanted to find out how into trump the amish really are, so i invited an amish voter from pennsylvania to talk with us about it. please welcome live via

satellite, zachariah miller, ladies and gentlemen. thank you for being on the show, mr. miller. >> oh, my pleasure, english. >> stephen: now, zachariah, are the amish really trump supporters? >> well, absolutely. just look at my hat. i've even quilted one of mr. trump's proverbs. ( applause ) >> stephen: that's very sweet. that's very speet. so what is it you like about him? >> well, for one, he's a great builder. in fact, he helped me raise my barn. i'll bet that's what the barns in heaven look like. >> stephen: okay. but what about hillary clinton? do any amish like her? >> oh, no! we hate her. >> stephen: why? >> the emails!
11:54 pm
>> stephen: you're mad she deleted them? >> no, we're mad that she uses emails at all. they're the devil's thank you notes. plus, she wears no bonnet, the temptress! unlike mr. trump, who humbly covers his head with plenty of hay for his horses. ( laughter ) >> stephen: okay, zachariah, but what trump's lewd language and lusty behavior? >> oh, i don't judge, stephen. i'm on rumspringa right now, which means i'm free to enjoy all sorts of sinful activities, like appearing on your moving picture program, or all the ecstasy i'm currently doing! ( laughter ) right here. want some? they're freshly churned! >> stephen: no, thank you. >> i can feel colors! >> stephen: i can tell. that looks like a lot of fun. thank you very much, but i'm good. so the amish believe trump would be a good leader. >> oh, absolutely not.
11:55 pm
no. that's what we like about him! >> stephen: what do you mean? >> well, he'll destroy this country! and then we'll be the ones who are technologically advanced! with our plows and churns and candlemaking, we'll be lords of the after-scape! kneel before me, stephen! worship at my button-less boots! >> stephen: zachariah miller, everybody. >> by the way, do you have any more ecstasy ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: we'll be right back with will forte! ♪ ♪thunder ♪

11:57 pm
warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. xarelto® is selective targeting one critical factor of your body's natural clotting function. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto.

12:02 am
"yeah, yeah." and i didn't know what the heck that meant. and then we took off, like, 10 seconds later, the windows were down. and then i realized it-- the odor was covering up this man's horrible body odor problem. it was a big problem. and, like, so, i think this guy thought that i was, like, passive aggressively saying, "you reek, dude." ( laughter ) and so it was the most uncomfortable ride. i can't say, "hey, i didn't know that you smelled so bad our wouldn't have said that." so-- ( laughter ) so, just-- i just, you know, so i just wanted to say-- apologize to the stinky ubercar driver. >> stephen: he knows who you are, obviously? >> probably. i mean... no, i'm kidding. no, no, no, jason or olivia was not in the car, so there was not

of being there for my son's winning shot. that was it for me. that's why i'm quitting with nicorette. only nicorette mini has a patented fast dissolving formula. it starts to relieve sudden cravings fast. every great why needs a great how. like me, she has pennsylvania working class roots, biden: this is what i know about katie mcginty - and she's never abandoned them. hard work. family. playing it straight. that's katie. and the ads attacking her? they're a bunch of malarkey. katie's career is about looking out for families like yours. creating jobs, keeping our environment safe. she's a wife, a mom, a basketball fan, a homework supervisor. she's like you and she'll fight for you in the united states senate. i'm katie mcginty and i approve this message. i've always taken on the status quo. in harrisburg, they didn't like it when i stopped their perks and pushed for reform. as head of pennsylvania's third-largest county, i cut out wall street middlemen to protect pensions. now, as chairman of the pennsylvania commission on crime, i'm leading the fight to stop the epidemic of heroin and opioid abuse.

i served under president bush and obama. i fought the taliban. i was asked to form a global coalition to counter isil. when someone makes the comment that they know more about the islamic state or isil than do the generals, it implies a complete ignorance of the reality. but i believe secretary clinton really understands the threat that the islamic state poses to the united states and to the american people. and i believe she understands how to wield american power to ultimately defeat this threat and to keep us safe. i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message.
