>> yeah, i missed that boat. it is with the drinks. >> can we bring that back? and they got rid of that price. >> everything is more expensive about $50 on one very popular chain last night, very late. >> there might be leftovers. >> no survivors? >> no survivors. could you do that? >> yeah. >> that will be the end of it actually. we did our best. thank you for watching the late show with stephen colb >> a new york appeals court judge has granted donald trump's request to stay the nearly half a billion dollar judgment in his fraud case. this is happening as trump in lower manhattan in a courtroom today in a separate case related to hush money payments to a porn star. >> a very busy day for trump

and his legal team. >> welcome to cbs sports, i'm larry boberry. >> and i'm gary nanafanafoferry. it's march and that means madness in the courts. >> that's right. the round mound who's mentally unsound was all over the courts today. first in a hush money trial where he tried to cover up scoring with a porn star. >> he took a real spanking in that contest. >> i heard the game finished early. >> the indicted all-star is also on the court for his business fraud trial, where justice arthur scorin' engoron put up a record 464 million from the bench, a smackdown to trump. >> or as he's known in this tournament, ucon. >> and not because he's husky. >> nope. >> announcer: it's "the late show with stephen colbert"! tonight...
11:37 pm
justice is swerved! plus, stephen welcomes justice stephen breyer and justin thomas. featuring louis cato and "the late show" band. and now, live on tape from the ed sullivan theater in new york city, it's stephen colbert! [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ >> stephen: oh, come on. ♪ ♪ please have a seat, my friends. you are too kind. welcome, one and all in here, out there, all around the world to "the late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. [cheering] my fellow americans, today was supposed to be a special day, a day that donald trump had to either fork over $464 million
11:38 pm
for a bond in his new york fraud case, or attorney general letitia james was going to grab him by the property. but then, this morning, a new york appeals court cut trump's bond to $175 million. [booing] and gave him ten more days to pay. every time, every time it seems like consequences of any kind are closing in, he gets away with it! who let this guy wish for more wishes? especially after how racist he was to the genie! in addition to cutting the bond by more than half and giving him an extension, the appeals court paused restrictions on trump running any new york company or obtaining a loan from a new york bank, as well as the restrictions on his adult sons, which means now don jr. and eric can still open their hot dog and cocaine cart.
11:39 pm
[laughter] they do a fine business. [cheering] the pundits are saying the court handed trump a lifeline. well, that makes sense. by law, you have to throw someone a lifeline when they look that much like a waterlogged corpse. now, trump has said many many times he could pay this half billion dollar bond because he's really rich. can we fact check that, jim? >> i'm really rich. >> stephen: there you go. there you go. that checks out. but trump kept trying to weasel his way out of putting up the half-bill. last week, his lawyers claimed that, for their super rich client, securing the bond would be a "practical impossibility." so he doesn't have the cash! aha! caught you now! he's not a real rich guy. he just plays one on tv. donald trump has a billion
11:40 pm
dollars the same way patrick stewart has a spaceship. apparently, this weekend? trump was struggling to find an insurance company willing to underwrite his bond. "hello, geico gecko? would you give me half a billion dollars? no? that is outrageous. i demand to speak to your caveman. no. i've already tried all the banks. tyra, azealia, special agent cody. hello?" and click. anyway, the appeals court cut the amount to only $175 million even though, on friday, trump said he has $500 million in cash, undercutting his lawyers' claims. that's like if oj tried to put on the glove and said, "this doesn't fit but i do love stabbing. stab, stab, stabbity stab." stabbity stab.
11:41 pm
oh, here's the thing. there was some good trump legal news today. you may recall that he is also facing criminal charges in the stormy daniels hush money case, when she spanked him with a magazine before marinating his shiitake. that trial was delayed when some new documents came to light just a few weeks ago. trump's lawyers were pushing for an even longer delay, but today, the judge announced the trial would begin on april 15th. [cheers and applause] there it is. there she goes. i have to admit. donald trump has done the impossible: he's made april 15th a day to celebrate. and my fellow americans, this shall be an historic day. we are now set for the first criminal prosecution of an ex-president in u.s. history. but only because ford pardoned nixon for streaking in the 1973 super bowl. after the ruling, trump spoke to the press at what appears to be some sort of flag storage facility.
11:42 pm
and, well, he got a little confused. >> you can't have an election in the middle of a political season. >> stephen: "no. no, no, so true. listen, folks, we can't have an election in a political season! we also can't have christmas in the middle of the holidays. come on. when i'm back in the white house, there will be no car sales allowed during toyotathon!" it's too sacred. immediately after that, he shared this nugget of wisdom. >> we just had super tuesday, and we had a tuesday after a tuesday already. >> stephen: "and we all know you can't have more than two tuesdays. a foursday." one reporter at this little gaggle here asked trump about the potential political cost of losing he hush money trial. >> would you be concerned that a conviction, if you are convicted at that trial
11:43 pm
could cost you the election given what todd said voters -- >> well, it could also make me more popular. >> stephen: so... the guiltier he is, the more the crowd loves him. it's never a great sign when your press conference answers could just as easily be cackled by the joker. trump went after the prosecutor in the case, matthew colangelo, who he claims tried to trick the public. >> colagelo, he's been sitting in the background for the last year. today he went right up front because they figure he buffaloed the whole public and the writers, including you people. he got 'em buffaloed. >> stephen: yes. we've all been buffaloed, which is a devious legal maneuver where you're dipped in a delicious tangy sauce, then served with a piece of wet celery. trump was also asked whether he'd accept financial help from outside the country. >> would you ever accept money from a foreign government to pay the bond or your fines or anything? >> no, no. i don't do that. i think you'd be allowed to, possibly. i don't know.
11:44 pm
>> stephen: "i don't know. i mean, you could. i don't know. but russia, if you're listening, maybe you know if that's legal. could you write the answer down on 500 million pieces of paper and have it "put-in" my account?" could you? could you? could you? [applause] we also got a glimpse inside the courtroom thanks to sketch artists, including this one of a grinning trump at the defense table. he looks like a happy frog. and i know that because when i googled "happy frog" i got this. now, with all this going on, yesterday donald trump kept laser-focused on what's most important to this struggling nation: golf. he truthed, "it is my great honor to be at trump international golf club in west palm beach tonight, awards night, to receive the club championship trophy and the senior club championship
11:45 pm
trophy. i won both!" wow! he won both! you know what that means. somebody else won both. trump went on to describe the tournament, and the words got salady. "a large and golfing talented membership, a great and difficult course, made the play very exciting." "we also have a big and omelette stationing restaurant, and a small and secret-documenting bathroom. i won both." against all odds, ladies and gentlemen, my fellow americans, we continue to have a government. last week, house speaker mike johnson worked with democrats to pass a funding bill to avoid a shutdown. it was a bipartisan effort to ensure basic government function, so naturally, that enraged georgia congresswoman marjorie taylor greene.
11:46 pm
[booing] seen here after spotting a three-legged poodle at the dog parade. now, to punish speaker johnson for daring to do stuff, on friday, greene "introduced a motion to vacate against johnson, threatening a vote to oust him." she's attacking him for doing his job. it's like writing a review for your wedding photographer that says, "zero stars. that pervert took pics of me and my wife kissing!" what else? oh, there's news from the world of the sky. today, the ceo of boeing stepped down. either that, or they never installed the bolts that keep him in the boardroom. he just blew out. zzzahhh! [applause] this all comes after a series of high altitude whoopsies. the alaska airlines disappearing door plug, engines catching on fire, one plane's wheel just coming
11:47 pm
off on takeoff, and my seat-back screen rebooting in the middle of "jumanji 2." now i'll never know if the rock finds the falcon jewel and/or his ability to let go of the past! but they had to do something. things have gotten so bad for the company that nervous travelers are changing their flights to avoid boeing airplanes. i'm sorry. but there's no way to avoid boeing airplanes. even if you're just walking down the street, their doors come to you. on the way out. zzzaah! true story. that's a true story. true story. on the way out, the ceo thanked one of his fellow execs for his "tireless service." yes, the service, just like some of their planes, was tireless. we got a great show for you tonight! my guests are justice stephen breyer and two-time pga champion justin thomas. but when we come back,

>> stephen: thank you, ladies and gentlemen. [cheers and applause] thanks, everybody. please have a seat. thank you, ladies and gentlemen. you know, folks, i don't know if you have noticed but we do a lot of shows. and i tell a lot of jokes and i tell jokes about a lot of different things, mostly what everybody's talking about. and for the last six weeks to two months, everybody has been talking about the mystery of kate middleton's disappearance from the public life. and two weeks ago we did some jokes about that mystery and all of the reporting about that. when i made those jokes, that
11:54 pm
upset some people. and even before her diagnosis was revealed, and i can understand that. i mean, a lot of my jokes have upset people in the past. i'm sure some of my jokes will upset people in the future. but there is a standard that i try to hold myself to. and that is i do not make light of somebody else's tragedy. now, i don't know whether her prognosis is a tragic one. she is the future queen of england and i assume she's going to be be getting the best possible medical care. regardless of what it is, i know and i'm sure many of you, far too many of us know that any cancer diagnosis of any kind is harrowing for the patient and for their family.
11:55 pm
and... though i'm sure they don't need it from me, i and everyone here at "the late show" would like to extend our well wishes and heartfelt hope that her recovery is swift and thorough. now, please say hello to louis cato and "the late show" band. [applause] louis. louis, you know we have the stars on the show. we have your movie stars. we have your tv stars. we have your musical stars, your literary stars, politicians. but very few people have supreme court justices on their show. justice stephen breyer will be out here in just a moment.
11:56 pm
again, after that, if you enjoyed the sport, to time pga championship justin thomas will be out here in just a little while. stick around for that. folks, if you watch the show, i spend most of my time over there in the rolling news fields, cultivating the day's finest nebari-goshi story wheat, which i grind into the most topical dough, then roll out and fill with minced kuro-buta pork, haku-sai cabbage, and koshi-zu scallions then gently steam to serve you the bright yet layered hama-matsu mushi-gyoza dumpling that is my monologue. but sometimes, just sometimes, folks, i am nudged awake by the pack of wolves that nursed me back to health after being left for dead by moonshiners, when i scrape some acorns and slugs into a damp taco shell i stole from a possum, then cower from the rain under an abandoned cement mixer to nibble on the trash-packed scrumble pouch of news that is my segment... >> "meanwhile"!
11:57 pm
[applause] there it is. that's the only protection from the wind and the weather i need. meanwhile, bad news for fans of pricy belgian ales. production of duvel beer was hit by a cyber-attack. oh, no. i hope it doesn't make it harder to find that beer i've never heard of. meanwhile, police in italy recently pulled over a 103-year-old traffic offender. that is unbelievable. italy has traffic laws? i thought their street signs just say "a-do whatever you want, i'm not a-you mama!" i speak fluent italian, as you can tell. [speaking italian] meanwhile, good news if you're one of those eaters who only check the expiration date after your eyeballs start sweatin.
11:58 pm
a gastroenterologist says that if your immune and gut systems are healthy, "for the vast majority of people, if they accidentally consume a little bit of mold, really not much happens." explains arby's new slogan: "see? it's fine." [applause] the doc here says "the amount of mold someone eats will impact the body's reaction. if someone were to consume a large amount of mold, they might experience nausea, indigestion, cramping, and possibly diarrhea." so enjoy your mold, in moderation. there's a reason why mold is the smallest part of the food pyramid. meanwhile, in a new study, vaping has been linked to mental health issues. who would've thought the birthday donut smoke that turns your lungs into popcorn could be bad for you? vape users who participated
11:59 pm
in the study reported symptoms including lower levels of mindfulness, worse sleep quality, and heightened levels of rumination. "heightened levels of rumination" is a pretty philosophical-sounding symptom. what were the survey questions like? "do you feel: a, sad; b, tired; c, haunted by the raven of time that hovers over each moment, a sea of nothing in its eyes, or d, hangry"? meanwhile, miriam margolyes, who played professor sprout in the harry potter movies said in a recent interview that adult harry potter fans "should be over that by now." to which adult harry potter fans replied "uh, someone went to slytherin." she elaborated: "people say, we're having a harry potter-themed wedding. and i think, gosh, what's their first night of fun going to be?"
12:00 am
pretty great... if they know parsel-tongue. [cheers and applause] meanwhile, news from frontier, the airline that makes every flight feel like you woke up at dawn and cleared an acre of land. "starting april 10, frontier will offer upfront plus, where it will block the sale of the middle seat so you have no middle seat neighbor." not to be outdone -- and this is real -- fellow budget airline spirit airlines offers the "big front seat" at the front of the plane for an upcharge. and by "big front seat," they mean they will strap you to the nose cone. [applause] that's nice. meanwhile, in car news, porsche just unveiled one of the fastest road cars in the world.

12:08 am
succeeded. >> stephen: i want to understand it myself. the last time you and i were talking, i learned from previous experience with you not to ask you about specific cases so i will not do that. but i might ask about general ideas, okay? for instance, let me ask you one general idea, not pertaining to a particular case. do you, former justice breyer, but believe that former presidents have absolute immunity from prosecution for crimes committed while in office? do you think, does that seem like a natural yes from you? >> justice breyer: that seems like a general idea. >> stephen: it is a general idea. do former presidents have absolute immunity? it's not specific about one person. would any president have back? i'm just curious, snap judgment. don't think about it. just go. >> justice breyer: i agree that you have a general idea. i can't go farther.
12:09 am
i can't. >> stephen: you're no fun. i'll ask you something you can answer. what do you think the purpose of the insurrection clause was? >> justice breyer: i haven't looked -- well. >> stephen: it's in the constitution. it's an excellent little read. it's only the 14th amendment. tell me you read that far. okay, there it is. okay, all right. someone's got a constitution all the time. all right. anyway, you know this document. i'm just curious what is included no definition of what insurrection is? do you have any idea? it does say how someone could be reinstated and it says that someone who committed insurrection can't run for office. why does it need an actuating law or action by congress to impose the sanction for insurrection? do you have any thoughts on them? >> justice breyer: i am tempted to say something like "but i wasn't there when it was written." my grandchildren think i was.

12:15 am
in the nonhypothetical presidential immunity arguments, okay, coming up in april, "politico," this is about perception of the court which i'm sure matters to you. "politico" says only 24% of people trust scotus to issue a fair and nonpartisan ruling. okay. is the fear that the public has a political influence on the court valid? and is the court's fear that the public will no longer believe they are impartial. >> justice breyer: i think of that is a very good question for a particular reason. that's why i wrote this book. it is. because i wanted to show people that what most think, that this is all politics, that is not my experience. you would never say zero about anything. but when i have been for 40 years with other judges and 28 on the supreme court, i think
12:16 am
the people who try to get them appointed may have a lot to do with politics. but they want a judge who will think that the log really requires those things that then they politically like. the judge's point of view is he or she is deciding according to law. and that's why i write this. because i want to say it isn't a question of what the judge likes or doesn't like. isn't a question of just politics. it's a question of what approach you use. you say, do you just read text? or do you look back to the values and purposes and consequences of the constitution or what we're about in this country? which of those do you choose and i think that's important and does make a difference and that's what people should focus on and that's why i try to explain you're with that consists of, how they might focus on it, and why it might make a difference to your life and my life and a life of every
12:17 am
american. and i hope for the better. [applause] >> stephen: i would hope for the better too. and my follow-up, your honor, is that i agree that i am sure that justices have a judicial philosophy through which they read the constitution. but to believe that there is no per does and backing judgment into the result you want. if they were always consistent on their judicial philosophy and always con consistent textually. you find it to be the case that the fellow justices are consistent and the lens that used to judge the constitutionality of a case? >> justice breyer: you aim at it and you never know if you get there. of course people are influenced by their backgrounds, of course they are influenced by the laws they have, the philosophy they have. but suppose that you, and not
12:18 am
you, it wouldn't be you personally but that you were an unpopular person. impossible. >> stephen: can't be done but go ahead. >> justice breyer: unpopular person is in front of a judge for trial, you don't want that judge to be influenced by how the public feels about that person. you don't want a judge to be influenced by popular opinion when he's judging the case but what a great professor said at harvard law school, a great professor, he sent with politics works in the court is this: no judge, not you or me or anyone else, should ever be influenced by the political temperature of the day. every judge. will and probably should be influenced by the climate of the era. a little profound, little obscured. but the more you think about that phrase, the more it sort of rings a bell in my mind. >> stephen: it doesn't seem obscue at all especially
12:19 am
wouldn't trigger that we know that climate change is real. in what way is the climate changing the court? i guess what i'm asking is where is the flooding happening in the supreme court? is it markers, free-speech rights? where do you need waiters when you're talking to the supreme court? >> justice breyer: go into the pass for target and you will know and most of the people who are listening will know was there was a big change in the court at the time of the new deal. those cases which were there that said congress could not legislate a minimum wage or maximum hour, those cases were gone and instead we were living not in prosperity. we were living in depression. and the court had to change to allow the congress to pass more laws that they hoped, roosevelt hoped, would get us out of the depression. that was a change in a lot of the ways they looked at the words in the constitution. before that, that word "property" had a lot of weight.
12:20 am
after that, control through agencies, controlled by congress had much more weight. that's a big change. >> justice breyer: a lot of pressure to change that back. >> justice breyer: i end the book without question and you know what my answer is? oh, you're not going to like this. >> stephen: what? >> justice breyer: my answer is i don't know. and i don't come and there are reasons. and no one knows. you're pointed to the supreme court tomorrow, it will take you -- it will take you five years, three years, some years before you get used to it. i was told by a president the applause dies away very fast and you're left with the job. and you better do that job well and like it. and that's the privilege of the court, that you have a job -- like a doctor. you don't stop paying attention when you just have an unusual case. you pay more attention. you pay attention to every case. you give what you have, you do your best.
12:21 am
that's the privilege of a job as you get older and you try to do it. you try to live up to it. and that's why i say the new judges have time. they can see what might work and what might not. in the old judges have had that anyway. >> stephen: well. you would know.
