wanted an immigration bill to fix the problem. >> and now donald trump's infamous 2016 presidential campaign announcement updated to reflect his new opposition to an immigration bill. >> ladies and gentlemen, we don't have problems at the border. believe me. but i speak to border guards and they tell us guess what. no problem. we will put together mexico and america. it will be interestingly named mexi-merica. when mexico sends its people, they are sending their best. they're not bringing drugs. they're not bringing crime. they're not a rapist. but actually i am. that's true. >> announcer: it's "the late show with stephen colbert!" tonight... border in the court! first, stephen welcomes emma stone and dnc chair jaime harrison.

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! >> stephen: hey, everybody! thank you very much. how are you? ♪ ♪ a little bit of this? thanks, everybody. welcome to "the late show," everybody. i'm your host, stephen colbert. [cheering] right now down in congress, everyone is at each other's throats because it is tuesday. also, also because of the border. now, no matter what your views are on immigration, there's no denying there's been a border crisis for decades, and recently, it's gotten ven more serious.

in december, border crossings through mexico reached nearly 10,000 migrants per day. that number's risen more than fourfold compared to the 2010s. but then again, who can blame migrants for wanting to come here for a better life? i mean, they know our motto, e pluribus unum, which, e pluribus unum, which, of course, translates as f"we put the cheese in the crust." [laughter] ever since biden took office, republicans have been pushing him hard to get tougher on the border. and recently they've resorted to some extreme measures, like holding ukraine aid hostage over the building of a new border wall. it's a plan put forth by chief g.o.p. strategist chadimir dootin. good guy. he's a good guy. and this legislative hostage-taking seemed to work because, at the end of last year, biden saw the writing on the wall, accepted their conditions, and the senate got to work on a big bill spearheaded on the g.o.p. side by oklahoma senator and

bangs! [laughter] james lankford. to be fair, that's a 14-year-old photo. he doesn't look like that anymore. and we won't use it again. lankford buckled down, he negotiated hard with the democrats, and he got a deal. republicans thanked him by backing out. that is so crazy! republicans are the ones who insisted on a border deal, above everything else. and now they're backing out. are they lawmakers, or are they 5-year-olds at dinner time? "what do you mean you don't want buttered noodles? you cried all afternoon about how you wanted buttered noodles, so i made buttered noodles. you can't suddenly want eggo waffles and to deport guatemalans without due process! eat your noodles!" so why did republicans do this? the same reason they do anything. as mitch mcconnell explained, "the issue is that the nominee,

trump, wants to campaign on immigration." "you can't take away immigration, mitch. that's my best stuff, okay? look, no, listen, folks. you take away immigration, all i can talk about is how low-flow toilets are giving windmill cancer to whales." whale! now that trump scuttled the deal, and he's saying blame it on me, scuttle the deal. republicans had to find someone to blame, and they picked bangs! sorry, we really tried not to use it again. but come on. 'cause over the weekend, the oklahoma republican party approved a resolution condemning and censuring james lankford for his role in the ongoing bipartisan border negotiations. he did what they asked, and then he got spanked for it. you can read all about it in the erotic thriller "50 shades of bangs"! now... to be fair, we made that graphic before i promised not to do that again.

and i'm being told we made that graphic because i promised not to do that again. right now, a border bill is kind of important because -- and i don't want to alarm anyone -- we're on the cusp of another civil war. here's what's going on. texas had their own plan to deal with the border, put in place by texas governor greg abbott, seen here releasing a flock of doves to poop on migrant children. abbott introduced an anti-immigration crackdown, putting razor wire along 60 miles of the border. but the federal government didn't like the razor wire, saying it physically prevented border patrol agents from entering the area, processing migrants, and providing assistance to drowning victims, which is why border patrol had been cutting the razor wire to reach them. as a general rule, you want to be able to help people who are drowning or really in any mortal danger, not make things worse.

that's why the fire safety signs don't say, "stop, drop, and stab." now, once the feds started cutting the wire, abbott sued, but he also doubled down, installing razor wire under the surface of the rio grande and circular saw blades between buoys. next, he's gonna change the poem on the statue of liberty from "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" to "would you like to play a game?" the razor wire case went to the supreme court, who ruled against texas in a 5-4 decision with no details or explanations provided. the dissents simply read "nay, nay, nay," and "does this luxury rv come in mother-of-pearl?" now, this really should have been a clear 9-0 decision against texas. 'cause the federal government

has the final say on all immigration. it's in the constitution. it's called the supremacy clause and it clearly states that federal law and federal treaty obligations "shall be the supreme law of the land." for those of you who didn't go to law school, supreme law means it comes with sour cream. but unanimous or not, scotus has spoken. it's been decided, right? wrong. 'cause greg abbott is plowing ahead. after the ruling, the texas national guard ignored the supreme court decision and abbott continued construction along the border, claiming that he doesn't have to listen to the supreme court because the biden administration had "broken the compact between the united states and the states," a reference to an archaic idea called the "compact theory and nullification." that theory states that states can ignore any federal laws they choose. it was used to justify secession by the confederacy and was originally championed in the 1830s by vice president, notorious racist, and guy who

just got spun around in the barber chair and does not like what he sees, john c. calhoun. calhoun opposed a tariff back then designed to help northern manufacturers, and he convinced his home state of south carolina to pass a law nullifying the tariff in their state. well, that did not please president and pantene-american, andrew jackson. president jackson threatened to invade south carolina, so calhoun backed down, and the state repealed the nullification act. jackson never forgave his vice president. when asked about his time in office, jackson replied, "i regret i was unable to hang hn c. calhoun." hang his vice president? so trump has no original ideas. [applause] now... we're cooking along here. we're humming.

now, abbott says that nullification applies here, because the rush of migrants at the border constitutes an invasion. but that argument was struck down in 1800 by james madison, who, it's worth remembering, wrote the [bleep] constitution. he said, "invasion is an operation of war, and the removal of alien friends has appeared to be no incident to a general state of war." what he's saying this isn't an invasion because we're not at war with mexico or anyone else. these migrants fall under the category of "alien friends," alongside mork, e.t., stitch, and tilda swinton. [laughter] now... how much time do i have left? what time is it? can i keep going? okay. now, some maga citizens out there are taking things into

their own hands, including a group of qanon-world influencers and antivaxxers who have organized a "take our border back" convoy headed to texas. organizers said they were expecting 700,000. but as of yesterday afternoon, the convoy was just a few dozen, predominantly men over the age of 60. so it's less a convoy and more a denny's at 10:00 a.m. sounds good. sounds good, actually. very close. here's a picture of the caravan, which calls itself god's army. wow. does god need more funding? 'cause it doesn't look like god's army could take on the salvation army. but i, for one, certainly hope that this all stays peaceful. because this is the way to start a civil war. not with a whimper but with bangs! we got a great show for you tonight!

or really judge anything as a positive or negative experience, it's all just a part of life and it's all meaningful. and all just interesting to her. that was an incredible thing to do. i am always like "this is a good thing. this is a bad thing. this makes me worried. this makes me happy." so to try to strip all that away. >> stephen: would you want to live like that if you could? >> emma: oh, my god. no. can you imagine? >> stephen: i don't know. the ramifications for acting in a way that society doesn't expect. >> emma: that's true. that's why this whole movie is fully a metaphor and not an actual -- if you see the movie, it's something that couldn't actually happen, so it's completely kind of a very twisted fairy tale. there is something very, very exhilarating about people who really don't kind of subscribe to all the ideas of what you're supposed to be. >> stephen: it seems sort of

like the eden before the fall. like, your character hasn't bitten the apple of the knowledge of good and evil. she doesn't know. that's wonderful. >> emma: right, she gets to just sort of live in this paradise of her own making. it's really incredible. i mean, paradise and not. but she learns so much and evolves so quickly that it's like a rapid development. >> stephen: you're also in a wonderful show called "the curse." >> emma: yes. >> stephen: created by nathan fielder and benny safdie. for people who don't know, would you tell them the premise? >> emma: i can try. it's about a couple who live in a town in new mexico, that they are trying to constantly -- consciously rejuvenate. that's their wording. by building these very eco-friendly homes that have mirrored exteriors to blend into the environment.

there's a curse that happens in the first episode on nathan's character, asher. and you sort of watch their relationship devolve through the course of the series. benny safdie who also created it with nathan plays this incredible wacky reality producer named dougie. it's a one-of-a-kind thing. >> stephen: yes, yes. none other than christopher nolan says it's without precedent. >> emma: wow. i mean... >> stephen: he would know. >> emma: i mean, that's a very nice thing for him to say. >> stephen: he didn't have to say that. >> emma: he didn't have to say that. >> stephen: no. >> emma: he didn't have to say that. nobody forced him to. >> stephen: how did you get involved in this? i've seen nathan's work for years. didn't automatically think he'd be working with you. >> emma: i know. he texted me to ask me. because we have known each other. we have a lot of mutual friends and we had hung out a couple

times and he texted me one day and he said "hey, do you want to do this show that benny safdie and i have created? no pressure." whatever. i just wrote back within like 30 seconds "yes, i love it. i love the concept. i love the character. the premise, wow. yeah, i'll do it." like, he hadn't given me any information, so i thought it would land as a joke. it didn't apparently because he was like "oh, great. okay. sounds good. let's get on the phone." then i got on the phone with benny and him and they would like, you know nothing about it? you know absolutely nothing? we have to explain this to you? i was like, yeah. it's a good example of when a bad joke that doesn't land gets you tied into a ten episode series. >> stephen: you couldn't get out of it? >> emma: not after that. i mean, have you ever had a joke fall flat? >> stephen: never.

>> stephen: hey, everybody. welcome back. folks. my next guest is a south carolina native and chair of the democratic national committee. please welcome back to "the late show," jaime harrison. [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ good to see you again >> jaime: it is great seeing you. >> stephen: let's talk about this saturday. this is a little controversy because this is the first time that south carolina will be the first primary for the democrats. new hampshire happened last week, two weeks ago? can't remember. the new hampshire primary has already happened but that's not official. okay, so who do you think's going to win? >> jaime: well. >> stephen: dean phillips coming on strong. the dean machine. he's almost at 1%.

>> jaime: stephen, i think the people of south carolina are going to win, and this is why. >> stephen: that is the most political answer. >> jaime: listen. but it's the truth. >> stephen: go ahead. >> jaime: think about this. for the entirety of my life, i'm 47. i'll be 48 next week. for the entirety of my life, iowa and new hampshire have always kicked off the presidential primary process. great state, great people in those states but those states aren't reflective of the diversity of this nation or the diversity of his party. and the thing about south carolina, south carolina is a state where 40% of enslaved people came into this country through the port of charleston. 90% of african americans across this countryancestor to south c. it's a state -- robert smalls. all these great people. brown versus board started with briggs versus elliott in south carolina. the progeny of those folks, the progeny of those enslaved people

who've been relegated to the back of the bus for most of their lives will now be driving the bus. they will be -- for that state and those folks will get the opportunity for us to pick the most powerful person on the face of this planet. that's a big deal. it only happened because joe biden, joe biden said "i see you, black folks in south carolina. i hear you. and you matter. you count. and i believe that you and the voters in that state should be first." and that's a big deal. [applause] >> stephen: well. let's talk about your counterparts in the reublican party. for a long time -- >> jaime: bless their hearts. [laughter] >> stephen: i'm from south carolina. i know what that means. i know what that means. one criticism of the big tenet of the democratic party is that it's such a coalition of

disparate interests that they are always infighting. these people want green but maybe that didn't please the unions for green energy or green cars to take over. strong support for israel but that's upsetting the palestinian americans or muslim voters in michigan. there is conflicts within the party. there always have been conflict within the democratic party. are you surprised to see so much conflict within the republican party right now? because they managed to keep everything separate for so many years. there was basically national security, military republicans. there was low-tax business republicans and then social conservatives in the republican party and they didn't really get each other's way. now you have people like tommy tuberville saying no, i will not pass the military appropriations. i won't allow people to be promoted in the army because of my stance on the social issues." you've got to people who won't give money to ukraine because of troubles at the u.s. border. what do you make of the fact

that for the first time you're seeing this kind of clash internally in a party that used to be lockstep. >> jaime: there was never a whole lot of diversity in the republican party. at least in the modern-day republican party, but now the diversity you have is the sane which is that minority and the extreme which are the majority. when you think about the maga republicans. think about this. in this party where a former president said mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. you have the marjorie taylor greenes, who are the biggest cheerleaders for putin. donald trump believes putin is his best friend. bff forever. >> stephen: one of the craziest things. the party of lincoln is talking about secession. they are killing a border deal so they're for open borders and they are pro-russia. >> jaime: and they don't know that slavery was the cause of the civil war. sometimes you wonder. like, did they miss history? did they go down to the bleachers and just smoke up a few cigarettes or something?

or something. those funny cigarettes. that my grandma talks about. >> stephen: your grandma talks about the funny cigarettes? >> jaime: those young kids smoking those funny cigarettes. >> stephen: yeah. you got a pretty hip grandma. what about nikki? you know nikki haley. >> jaime: i do know nikki haley. >> stephen: how do you think she's going to do in south carolina? there hasn't been a ton of polling on this. her terrible worst numbers were actually a while ago. what do you think? >> jaime: "terrible" is a good definition for nikki haley. for those of us who know her. >> stephen: whoo! them's fightin' words. >> jaime: this is a person who allowed her home town hospital to close. she signed the most restrictive abortion ban in this country. she blocked 250,000 people from getting health care in south carolina because she wanted to own barack obama. stephen, when you think about

it, all of those maga apples are rotten regardless if it's nikki haley or donald trump. [applause] this is what we are going to do. regardless of who comes out of it and it likely is donald trump, the dnc under my leadership, under the leadership of president biden, we are making historic investments to make sure that we have the boots on the ground in all the states, that we have the messaging mechanism. that's how we beat back the red wave. a lot of people were like, oh, the red wave, red wave. they are a bunch of red tea-ers. ronna mcdaniel and the folks at the rnc. we built back with the infrastructure to have the best midterm election for an incumbent president since 1934. right? i want folks to know, no hand-wringing. this is a no hand-wringing zone. you might be nervous about

the election. we all are. we should be. because so much is at stake. this is about progress versus chaos, it's about hope versus fear, it's about one president who wakes up every single day thinking about how to make life better for all of america's people and you've another president talking about, who can i get revenge on when i become president again? right? so the stakes are high. it's about protecting our freedoms. i hope, folks, get a plan. go to iwillvote.com. figure out how you're going to vote, but in the end, make sure you go and vote for joe biden. >> stephen: jaime, thanks for being here. dnc chair jaime harrison, everybody. we'll be right back.

democrats agree. conservative republican steve garvey is the wrong choice for the senate. ...our republican opponent here on this stage has voted for donald trump twice. mr. garvey, you voted for him twice... as your own man, what is your decision? garvey is wrong for california. but garvey's surging in the polls. fox news says garvey would be a boost to republican control of the senate. stop garvey. adam schiff for senate. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message.
