>> Stephen: WELCOME TO "THE LATE SHOW."
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
I'M YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT.
I WANT TO THANK OUR FRIEND JAMES CORDEN FOR STOPPING BY.
HE'LL BE HOSTING THE GRAMMYS A WEEK FROM THIS SUNDAY.
ONLY CBS.
ONLY CBS?
ONTO CBS.
THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT THAT.
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH, EVERYBODY!
JON.
>> Jon: HAPPEN BLACK HISTORY MONTH.
>> Stephen: LOUIS.
( APPLAUSE ) ( JON LAUGHING )
>> Stephen: TODAY, BLACK HISTORY MONTHED THE STAY WAY ALL
SHOULD-- WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT BEYONCE IS PREGNANT!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) SHE DROPPED THE KNOWLEDGE TODAY
WITH THIS PHOTO ON INSTAGRAM, SHOWING US HER BABY BUMP AT WHAT
APPEARS TO BE A VERY OPEN-MINDED SEARS PORTRAIT STUDIO.
( LAUGHTER ) THEY KICK ME OUT FOR WEARING A
THONG, BUT SHE GETS TO DO THAT.
AND IF YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT, FOLKS, HOLD ON TO YOUR
LEMONADE, BECAUSE QUEEN BEY SAYS, "WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED TWO
TIMES OVER."
THAT MEANS TWINS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!
♪ ALL THE DOUBLE BABIES!
ALL THE DOUBLE BABIES! ♪ ♪ PUT YOUR HANDS UP ♪
I THINK I HAVE FULLER HIMSELF THAN BEYONCE, THOUGH.
THIS MORNING, THE START OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH WAS ALSO MARKED BY
ANOTHER PROMINENT PERSON OF COLOR, DONALD TRUMP.
( LAUGHTER ) HE HAS COLOR.
HE HAS COLOR.
YEAH.
>> Jon: MULTICOLOR.
>> Stephen: MULTICOLORS, EXACTLY.
HE'S A RAINBOW COALITION FROM THE NECK UP.
TODAY, TRUMP HELD A PRESS CONFERENCE TO HONOR AFRICAN
AMERICAN LUMINARIES LIKE THE TWO BLACK PEOPLE HE KNOWS,
BEN CARSON AND OMAROSA.
AND TRUMP IMMEDIATELY SENT A STRONG MESSAGE TO THE
AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY.
RIGHT...
THERE.
SEE?
THERE IT IS.
>> Jon: OH!
OH!
>> Stephen: NO, WHY ARE YOU BOOING?
WHY ARE YOU BOOING?
TRUMP JUST THINKS BLACK PEOPLE ARE NUMBER ONE.
HE JUST-- STRONG MESSAGE.
AND HE IMMEDIATELY RIGHT OFF THE BEAM CONCERNED A MAJOR CONCERN
OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY-- HIMSELF.
>> A LOT OF THE MEDIA IS ACTUALLY THE OPPOSITION
PARTY.
THEY ARE SO BIASED AND, REALLY, IT'S A DISGRACE.
I DON'T WATCH CNN.
I DON'T LIKE WATCHING FAKE NEWS.
BUT FOX HAS TREATED ME VERY NICE.
WHEREVER FOX IS, THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: WHAT BETTER WAY TO CELEBRATE BLACK HISTORY MONTH
THAN TO HAVE AFRICAN AMERICANS LISTEN TO A RICH WHITE GUY
COMPLAIN THAT THE WORLD IS UNFAIR TO HIM?
( LAUGHTER ) OF COURSE, TRUMP ALSO TOOK A
MOMENT TO REFLECT ON THE LEGACY OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING.
>> YOU READ ALL ABOUT DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING A WEEK AGO WHEN
SOMEBODY SAID I TOOK THE STATUE OUT OF MY OFFICE, AND IT TURNED
OUT THAT THAT WAS FAKE NEWS FROM THESE PEOPLE.
FAKE NEWS.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: YES, FAKE NEWS.
TRUMP DIDN'T TAKE THAT STATUE FROM HIS OFFICE.
IT TRIED TO ESCAPE.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
BUT TRUMP'S DEEP KNOWLEDGE OF THE STRUGGLE DOESN'T STOP AT
MARTIN LUTHER KING.
>> FREDERICK DOUGLASS IS AN EXAMPLE OF SOMEBODY WHO HAS DONE
AN AMAZING JOB AND IS BEING RECOGNIZED MORE AND MORE, I
NOTICE.
>> Stephen: YEAH, I NOTICED THAT, TOO, YEAH.
HEARING A LOT MORE ABOUT THIS FRED DOUGLASS GUY.
YOU KNOW FRED DOUGLASS, JON.
ISLY A RAPPER.
>> Jon: NO.
>> Stephen: HE'S NOT THE FRED PRINCE OF BEL AIR.
>> Jon: DIFFERENT GUY.
>> Stephen: TRUMP CONTINUED TO TALK.
>> HARRIET TUBMAN, ROSA PARKS AND MILLIONS MORE BLACK
AMERICANS WHO MADE AMERICA WHAT IT IS TODAY.
>> Stephen: HE'S JUST NAMING BLACK PEOPLE HE'S HEARD OF AT
THIS POINT.
"AH, HARRIET TUBMAN, ROSA PARKS, FAT ALBERT, THE PINE SOL
COMMERCIAL LADY, ROBERT DOWNEY JR. IN 'TROPIC THUNDER.'"
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
"THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU."
