>> AND, NOW, "THE LATE SHOW" EXCLUSIVE STEPHEN COLBERT'S
INTERVIEW OF FOX NEWS' INTERVIEW OF PRESIDENT TRUMP.
>> Stephen: MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME THIS
MORNING.
>> IT'S TOO EARLY.
>> Stephen: I'M SORRY.
I KNOW YOU RARELY PUT ON PANTS BEFORE NOON.
SIR, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE STRIKE ON SOLEIMANI.
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE RIGHT MOVE, I DON'T KNOW, BUT ONE OF
YOUR JUSTIFICATIONS WAS THAT HE WAS PLANNING TO ATTACK OUR
EMBASSY.
DO YOU STILL STAND LIKE THAT?
>> I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FOUR EMBASSIES, COULD HAVE BEEN
MILITARY BASES, COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT OF OTHER THINGS, TOO, BUT
IT WAS IMMINENT.
>> Stephen: OKAY, THAT'S KIND OF VAGUE.
YOUR OWN DEFENSE SECRETARY SAYS HE DIDN'T SEE ANY OF THAT
EVIDENCE.
WHERE DID YOU GET ALL THAT INTEL?
>> MIGHT, BUT -- >> Stephen: OKAY.
HOW MANY OF YOUR STATEMENTS ABOUT THE STRIKE HAVE BEEN LIES?
>> 80% ARE DISHONEST, AND I MEAN REALLY DISHONEST.
>> Stephen: SO WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL CONGRESS ABOUT THE STRIKE?
>> CAN YOU IMAGINE?
THEY WANT US TO CALL UP AND SPEAK TO CROOKED CORRUPT
POLITICIAN ADAM SCHIFF.
OH, ADAM, WE HAVE SOMEBODY THAT WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET FOR A
LONG TIME -- >> Stephen: OOOH, OOOH, OOOH!
I LOVE IMPROV.
LET ME BE SCHIFF.
HELLO, THIS IS ADAM SCHIFF.
WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW, MR. PRESIDENT?
>> COULD WE MEET?
>> Stephen: MEET?
LET'S SEE -- HMM, TODAY IS NOT GOOD.
I'M PRETENDING TO TALK TO THE PRESIDENT.
>> LET'S DO IT IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
>> Stephen: NOW PRETEND I'M LOU DOBBS!
>> AND I SAY, LOU, HERE'S THE PROBLEM --
>> Stephen: IS THE PROBLEM THAT YOU'RE THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES AND YOU'RE GETTING ADVICE FROM LOU DOBBS?
( LAUGHTER ) SHIFTING GEARS, THE OSCAR
NOMINATIONS CAME OUT THIS MORNING, SIR.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT BEYONCE WAS SNUBBED FOR BEST ORIGINAL SONG?
>> I JUST HAVE SUCH RESPECT FOR THE QUEEN, I DON'T THINK THIS
SHOULD BE HAPPENING TO HER.
>> Stephen: YEAH, BACK TO THE MIDDLE EAST.
YOU CAMPAIGNED ON BRINGING THE TROOPS HOME, BUT NOW YOU'RE
SENDING MORE TROOPS TO SAUDI ARABIA.
>> THEY'RE PAYING US.
>> Stephen: WELL, THAT MAKES IT SOUND LIKE YOU'RE RENTING OUT
OUR TROOPS LIKE MERCENARIES.
THAT'S AWFUL.
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?
>> BEAUTIFUL GREEN CASH.
>> Stephen: OKAY, THAT SEEMS LIKE YOU.
MOVING ON.
YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF BEING IMPEACHED, SIR.
HOW WOULD OTHER LEADERS HANDLE THAT PRESSURE?
>> THEY'D FOLD UP LIKE AN UMBRELLA.
>> Stephen: SIR, DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE AN UMBRELLA?
BECAUSE THIS FOOTAGE IS PRETTY DAMNING.
>> THEY MADE THAT STORY UP.
>> Stephen: MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME.
I'M SO GLAD YOU KEEP AGREEING TO THESE FAKE INTERVIEWS.
>> DEATH TO AMERICA.
