WELCOME, ONE AND ALL, UP THERE,
DOWN HERE, OUT THERE, EVERYBODY
[4]
WATCHING RIGHT NOW.
[6]
TREMENDOUS.
[7]
WELCOME TO "THE LATE SHOW."
[7]
I'M YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT.
[10]
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
FOLKS, IF YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING
[17]
THE TV, YOU KNOW IT'S AN
HISTORIC SOLID DAY THAT
[22]
WILL FOREVER ALTER THE FABRIC OF
AMERICAN DEMOCRACY...
[24]
SO, THURSDAY.
[25]
BECAUSE THIS AFTERNOON, THE
SENATE OFFICIALLY OPENED THE
[26]
IMPEACHMENT TRIAL OF PRESIDENT
DONALD JOHN TRUMP.
[33]
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT IN
[36]
TONIGHT'S "DON AND THE GIANT
IMPEACH."
[40]
>> MOUTH TO MOUTH RESUSCITATION.
[46]
( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW WHAT
[47]
THAT MEANS, BUT I LIKE IT.
[49]
( LAUGHTER )
LAST NIGHT, THE HOUSE SENT A
[52]
FORMAL PROCESSION TO PRESENT THE
ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT TO THE
[53]
SENATE, KICKING OFF TRUMP'S
IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
[57]
OR IT WOULD HAVE, BUT MITCH
MCCONNELL DECLARED THAT "THE
[61]
IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES COULD NOT
BE 'FORMALLY' DELIVERED UNTIL
[63]
THE FOLLOWING DAY."
[65]
SO HOUSE MEMBERS HAD TO LEAVE A
"SORRY WE MISSED YOU" SLIP.
[70]
( LAUGHTER )
NOW THEY WILL PICK UP THE
[73]
IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES AT THE
AIRPORT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
[76]
TODAY, HOUSE MANAGERS HELD A
VERY SOLEMN RE-PARADE, AND WHEN
[78]
THEY ARRIVED IN THE SENATE,
THERE WAS A HIGH-STAKES
[79]
ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE SENATE
SERGEANT-AT-ARMS.
[83]
>> HEAR YE, HEAR YE, HEAR YE.
[85]
ALL PERSONS ARE COMMANDED TO
KEEP SILENT ON PAIN OF
[88]
IMPRISONMENT WHILE THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES IS EXHIBITING TO
[91]
THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST
[94]
DONALD JOHN TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES.
[99]
>> Announcer: DID YOU HEAR
THAT?
[100]
SILENT ON PAIN OF IMPRISONMENT!
[103]
IT'S THE SENATE'S SECOND
HARSHEST PUNISHMENT AFTER
[105]
"SILENT BUT DEADLY."
[108]
( LAUGHTER )
THEN, THE SENATE SUMMONED CHIEF
[111]
JUSTICE ROBERTS, WHO MADE A
DRAMATIC ENTRANCE, LED BY THE
[114]
RESERVOIR DOGS.
[118]
♪
♪
[124]
♪ YEAH... ♪
ONLY, IN THIS CASE, THERE ARE
[130]
THREE MR. WHITES.
[132]
( LAUGHTER )
THE CHIEF JUSTICE THEN SWORE IN
[133]
THE SENATE JURY.
[135]
>> DO YOU SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT IN
ALL THINGS APPERTAINING TO THE
[138]
TRIAL OF THE IMPEACHMENT OF
DONALD JOHN TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF
[141]
THE UNITED STATES, NOW PENDING,
YOU WILL DO IMPARTIAL JUSTICE
[146]
ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION
AND LAWS, SO HELP YOU GOD?
[150]
>> I DO.
[151]
>> STEPHEN: THERE, EVERY SENATOR
JUST SWORE TO BE AN IMPARTIAL
[157]
JUROR, WHICH MAY COME AS A
SURPRISE TO THIS GUY.
[160]
>> I'M NOT AN IMPARTIAL JUROR.
[164]
( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: OKAY.
[172]
IT TAKES A SPECIAL TALENT TO BE
A SPLIT JURY OF ONE.
[175]
( LAUGHTER )
THEN, ADAM SCHIFF READ THE
[177]
ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT INTO THE
RECORD, AND THEY WERE ADJOURNED
[177]
UNTIL TUESDAY.
[180]
IT WOULD BE MONDAY, BUT THAT'S
MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY.
[184]
"IMPEACHED AT LAST, IMPEACHED AT
LAST, WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS,
[188]
BUT HE'S IMPEACHED AT LAST."

[196]

NOW, FOR WEEKS, REPUBLICANS HAVE
[201]
IGNORED MOUNTING EVIDENCE THAT
TRUMP KNEW EVERYTHING THAT WAS
[203]
HAPPENING WITH THE UKRAINE
SCHEME, AND DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN
[205]
PRAYING FOR THE OTHER SHOE TO
DROP.
[209]
WELL, LAST NIGHT, AN ENTIRE FOOT
LOCKER FELL OUT OF THE SKY,
[213]
THANKS TO GIULIANI ASSOCIATE
AND MAN WHO TOLD THE BARBER,
[215]
"GIVE ME THE CHARLIE BROWN,"
LEV PARNAS.
[221]
>> JON: "PEANUTS."
[222]
>> STEPHEN: PARNAS, YOU'LL
REMEMBER, IS A RECENTLY-INDICTED
[224]
GOON WHO WORKED WITH GIULIANI TO
HELP TRUMP BLACKMAIL UKRAINE
[226]
INTO INVESTIGATING JOE BIDEN.
[229]
AND LAST NIGHT, PARNAS GAVE A
BUNCH OF INTERVIEWS OUTLINING
[231]
THE PRESIDENT'S INVOLVEMENT.
[233]
AND THEY WERE JUICY!
[235]
SO I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE STANDING
BY WITH THAT POPCORN GIF OF ME.
[239]
( LAUGHTER )
FIRST UP, PARNAS SAT DOWN WITH
[242]
RACHEL MADDOW AND IMMEDIATELY
TOSSED TRUMP UNDER AIR FORCE
[244]
ONE:
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE MAIN
[247]
INACCURACY OR THE MAIN LIE
THAT'S BEING TOLD, THAT YOU FEEL
[251]
LIKE YOU CAN CORRECT?
[252]
>> THAT THE PRESIDENT DIDN'T
KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON.
[256]
PRESIDENT TRUMP KNEW EXACTLY
WHAT WAS GOING ON.
[260]
( LAUGHTER )
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
[267]
>> Jon: AAAHHH!
[273]
( PIANO RIFF )
>> Stephen: THIS --
[284]
THIS IS HISTORIC.
[287]
( LAUGHTER )
IT'S THE FIRST TIME ANYONE HAS
[288]
EVER USED THE PHRASE "TRUMP KNEW
EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON."
[292]
( LAUGHTER )
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
[301]
PARNAS CALLED OUT TRUMP ON ALL
OF HIS LIES, LIKE HOW TRUMP
[302]
KEEPS SAYING HE DOESN'T KNOW
PARNAS.
[304]
>> IN TERMS OF THE PRESIDENT AND
WHAT HE SAID ABOUT YOU, YOU
[307]
ABOUT YOU AND MR. FRUMAN, IGOR
FRUMAN, "I DON'T
[311]
KNOW THOSE GENTLEMEN, I DON'T
KNOW ABOUT THEM, I DON'T KNOW
[313]
WHAT THEY DO."
[315]
YOU'RE SAYING THAT WAS NOT A
TRUE STATEMENT FROM THE
[316]
PRESIDENT?
[317]
>> HE LIED.
[319]
I MEAN, WE'RE NOT FRIENDS, WHEN
YOU SAY "FRIENDS," ME AND HIM
[321]
DIDN'T WATCH FOOTBALL GAMES
TOGETHER, WE DIDN'T EAT HOT
[323]
DOGS.
[325]
>> STEPHEN: "I MEAN, HE INVITED
ME OVER FOR HOT DOGS, BUT BY THE
[329]
TIME I GOT THERE, THEY WERE ALL
GONE.
[330]
SO WAS A LARGE PORTION OF THE
FOOTBALL."
[336]
PARNAS TALKED TO ANDERSON
COOPER, AND SHOCKED EVERYONE BY
[339]
REVEALING THAT BEFORE TRUMP
TRIED TO PRESSURE ZELENSKY INTO
[342]
ANNOUNCING AN INVESTIGATION OF
BIDEN, TRUMP HAD ALREADY PUT THE
[345]
SAME SCREWS TO UKRAINE'S
PREVIOUS PRESIDENT, PETRO
[347]
POROSHENKO.
[349]
>> THE FIRST QUID PRO QUO WE
GAVE WAS WHEN WE MET WITH
[351]
PRESIDENT POROSHENKO.
[352]
IF HE WOULD MAKE THE
ANNOUNCEMENT, THAT HE WOULD--
[358]
TRUMP WOULD INVITE HIM TO THE
WHITE HOUSE, OR MAKE A STATEMENT
[360]
FOR HIM.
[361]
BUT BASICALLY, WOULD START
SUPPORTING HIM FOR, YOU KNOW,
[363]
PRESIDENT.
[364]
>> SO THAT WAS THE FIRST QUID
PRO QUO.
[366]
POROSHENKO COULD CAN COME TO
THE WHITE HOUSE OR GET MEETING
[368]
WITH TRUMP IF HE ANNOUNCES AN
INVESTIGATION.
[372]
>> CORRECT.
[375]
>> STEPHEN: THAT IS SO TRUMP.
[377]
HARASS A UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT AND
THEN REPLACE HIM WITH A YOUNGER,
[378]
HOTTER ONE.
[382]
( LAUGHTER )
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
[391]
PARNAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT TRUMP
THREATENED UKRAINE, AND NOT JUST
[392]
THEIR MILITARY AID.
[396]
>> MAYOR RUDY GIULIANI TOLD ME
AFTER, YOU KNOW, MEETING WITH
[398]
THE PRESIDENT AT THE WHITE
HOUSE, HE CALLED ME THE MESSAGE
[401]
WAS IT WASN'T JUST MILITARY AID,
IT WAS ALL AID.
[403]
BASICALLY, THEIR RELATIONSHIPS
WOULD BE SOUR, THAT WE WOULD
[406]
STOP GIVING THEM ANY KIND OF
AID.
[409]
>> STEPHEN: (AS TRUMP)
"WE'RE TALKING ALL THE AID.
[412]
MILITARY AID, HUMANITARIAN AID,
LEMONADE, BAND-AID, FARM AID,
[419]
MILK MAID, DENNIS QUAID."
[425]
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
NOW, I -- I -- I, I, I --
[434]
TRUMP HAS INSISTED THAT HE
WITHHELD THAT AID TO FIGHT
[435]
"CORRUPTION," BUT LEV PARNAS
SAYS, "NUH-UH."
[440]
>> IT WAS ALL ABOUT JOE BIDEN,
HUNTER BIDEN.
[441]
THE ONLY THING WE CARED ABOUT
WAS THAT WE WERE-- THE TEAM WAS
[446]
TO GET ZELENSKY, OR POROCHENKO
OR SOMEBODY, TO MAKE A PRESS
[451]
RELEASE, AN ANNOUNCEMENT INTO
THE BIDEN INVESTIGATION."
[453]
>> STEPHEN: DING-DING-DING.
[454]
GUN, SMOKING.
[455]
FAT LADY, SINGING.
[456]
BOMB, SHELLED.
[458]
THE ONLY WAY THIS COULD BE MORE
DAMNING FOR TRUMP IS IF THERE'S
[460]
A PHONE TRANSCRIPT OF HIM
DEMANDING AN INVESTIGATION OF
[464]
JOE-- OH.
[469]
OH -- OH -- OH --
( LAUGHTER )
[473]
THIS WASN'T EASY FOR PARNAS,
BECAUSE HE HAD SPECIAL FEELINGS
[474]
FOR TRUMP.
[478]
>> YOU LOVED PRESIDENT TRUMP.
[479]
>> LOVED HIM.
[483]
I MEAN, WHEN THE F.B.I. CAME TO
MY HOUSE TO RAID, MY WIFE FELT
[487]
EMBARRASSED BECAUSE THEY SAID I
HAD A SHRINE TO HIM.
[490]
I MEAN, I HAD PICTURES ALL OVER.
[492]
I MEAN, I IDOLIZED HIM.
[494]
I THOUGHT HE WAS THE SAVIOR.
[497]
>> STEPHEN: I UNDERSTAND THAT.
[500]
EVERY TIME I LOOK AT TRUMP, I
SAY "JESUS."
[507]
( LAUGHTER )
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
[508]
( PIANO RIFF )
NOW, THE PRESIDENT'S SUPPORTERS
[516]
ARE ALREADY CALLING PARNAS A
LIAR, BUT HERE'S THE THING:
[518]
HE BROUGHT THE RECEIPTS.
[520]
TUESDAY, HOUSE DEMOCRATS
RELEASED A HUGE CACHE OF
[522]
INCRIMINATING DOCUMENTS PROVIDED
BY PARNAS.
[524]
AND THEN THEY RELEASED ANOTHER
ONE YESTERDAY-- HANDWRITTEN
[527]
NOTES, TEXT MESSAGES,
VOICEMAILS, PICTURES, CALENDARS.
[530]
HE EVEN HAS A SCRAPBOOK: "OUR
UKRAINE-ZY SUMMER VACAY!
[535]
GETTING COLLUDY WITH THE PREZ
AND RUDY 2019!"
[540]
FOR MOST OF THE PAST 24 HOURS,
TRUMP HAS BEEN STRANGELY SILENT
[541]
ON IMPEACHMENT.
[543]
NO SHOUTS, NO TWEETS.
[546]
WHICH WAS QUITE ALARMING.
[548]
IT'S LIKE WHEN THE KIDS ARE
PLAYING UPSTAIRS.
[550]
YOU GET USED TO THE SCREAMING,
BUT WHEN THEY GO QUIET, GRAB THE
[553]
KEYS, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO THE
HOSPITAL.
[557]
BUT THIS AFTERNOON, THE PRESSURE
FINALLY GOT TO HIM, AND HE
[559]
BLASTED OFF THIS GEM: "I JUST
GOT IMPEACHED FOR MAKING A
[563]
PERFECT PHONE CALL!"
IT'S NOT SINKING IN.
[574]
IT'S GETTING --
TRUMP'S LIKE A DOG WHO JUST TOOK
[576]
A CRAP IN YOUR SHOE AND CAN'T
UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYONE'S MAD
[577]
ABOUT IT.
[579]
(AS TRUMP)
"BUT MY AIM WAS PERFECT!
[581]
I FILLED THE LOAFER COMPLETELY!"
( LAUGHTER )
[587]
>> Jon: THAT OLD DOG.
[589]
>> Stephen: YOU'RE DEFINITELY
GELIN' NOW.
[594]
( LAUGHTER )
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
[596]
( LAUGHTER )
TRUMP ALSO, UP TO THIS POINT,
[599]
HADN'T SAID A WORD ABOUT LEV
PARNAS, EVEN THOUGH PARNAS
[601]
TAUNTED HIM ON TV, SAYING THIS:
>> WHEN YOU WERE ARRESTED, THE
[604]
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW YOU.
[607]
>> I WELCOME HIM TO SAY THAT
EVEN MORE.
[609]
EVERY TIME HE SAYS THAT, I'LL
SHOW THEM ANOTHER PICTURE.
[612]
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: A NEW PICTURE.
[614]
LOOK AT THAT.
[615]
THAT'S BOLD.
[618]
A NEW PICTURE FOR EVERY DENIAL.
[620]
WELL, TODAY, TRUMP TOOK HIM UP
ON THAT CHALLENGE.
[621]
>> I DON'T KNOW PARNAS.
[623]
I DON'T KNOW HIM AT ALL.
[626]
DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S ABOUT.
[627]
DON'T KNOW WHERE HE COMES FROM.
[628]
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIM.
[630]
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THIS MAN
IS.
[632]
I DON'T KNOW HIM.
[633]
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIM.
[634]
I DON'T KNOW HIM.
[635]
I DON'T BELIEVE I'VE EVER SPOKEN
TO HIM.
[638]
I DON'T BELIEVE I'VE EVER SPOKEN
TO HIM.
[639]
I DON'T KNOW HIM.
[643]
>> STEPHEN: THAT'S A LOT OF
PICTURES.
[645]
I MEAN, LEV MIGHT AS WELL
RELEASE VIDEO OF THE TWO OF THEM
[647]
TOGETHER.
[648]
OH, HE DID?
[651]
( LAUGHTER )
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
[653]
THAT'S FOOTAGE OF LEV AND TRUMP
CHATTING AT MAR-A-LAGO IN 2016.
[660]
NOW, JUST WHAT -- THERE IT IS.
[664]
WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?
[665]
IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY, BECAUSE FOR
SOME REASON, LEV PUT JANET
[667]
JACKSON'S 1997 HIT "TOGETHER
AGAIN" OVER THE WHOLE CLIP.
[673]
♪ EVERYWHERE I GO
EVERY SMILE I SEE
[674]
♪ I KNOW YOU ARE THERE
SMILING BACK AT ME ♪
[675]
>> STEPHEN: EVEN THOUGH "NASTY
BOYS" WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE
[676]
APPROPRIATE.
[677]
(AS PARNAS)
"MY NAME'S NOT BABY, IT'S LEV.
[679]
MR. PARNAS, IF YOU'RE NASTY."
[681]
( LAUGHTER )
UP UNTIL NOW, THE WHITE HOUSE'S
[686]
DEFENSE HAS BEEN CLEAR: NOTHING
HAPPENED.
[687]
AND IF IT DID HAPPEN, IT WAS
ABOUT CORRUPTION.
[690]
AND IF IT WASN'T ABOUT
CORRUPTION, IT'S NOT A PROBLEM
[692]
SINCE IT'S TOTALLY LEGAL FOR THE
PRESIDENT TO WITHHOLD AID.
[696]
CAN'T HAVE IMPEACHMENT IF HE
DIDN'T BREAK THE LAW.
[702]
WELL, FUNNY COINKYDINK: TODAY,
THE NON-PARTISAN GOVERNMENT
[703]
ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE RELEASED A
REPORT SAYING THE TRUMP
[705]
ADMINISTRATION BROKE THE LAW IN
WITHHOLDING UKRAINE AID.
[710]
SO THE DAY THE IMPEACHMENT IS
DELIVERED, HIS OWN GOVERNMENT
[712]
ANNOUNCES HE'S GUILTY.
[715]
THAT'S LIKE SHOWING UP TO THE
CUSTODY HEARING AND YOUR KIDS
[717]
YELL, "DAD, WE MADE YOUR
FAVORITE BREAKFAST COCKTAIL!"
[722]
"AND WE DIDN'T DROWN IT!"
( PIANO RIFF )
[727]
HERE'S WHAT THE G.A.O. WROTE:
"FAITHFUL EXECUTION OF THE LAW
[730]
DOES NOT PERMIT THE PRESIDENT TO
SUBSTITUTE HIS OWN POLICY
[734]
PRIORITIES FOR THOSE THAT
CONGRESS HAS ENACTED INTO LAW."
[737]
(AS TRUMP)
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
[739]
"NO, NO.
[740]
NO, NO.
[743]
I'M SORRY, YOU LOST ME AT
FAITHFUL."
[747]
( LAUGHTER )
WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU
[749]
TONIGHT.
[750]
JOSH GAD IS HERE.
[751]
WHEN WE RETURN, "MEANWHILE!"
STICK AROUND.
