Donald Trump Goes To Battle With Another War Hero

welcome one and all to the late show i'm your host stephen colbert you know people excited people are excited the holidays are coming up and and it's a time when i have trouble with impulse control because if you put gravy on it i don't care what goes in my mouth now our president is a little different he evidently does not care what comes out of his mouth case in point is this yesterday yesterday he went after admiral bill mcraven the commander who oversaw the killing of osama bin laden and the capture of saddam hussein that is a hell of a resume under special skills captured more villains than the batman and i like the hyphen fat batman mcraven has been a critical of president trump and yesterday on fox news sunday chris wallace asked the president about it bill mcraven retired admiral navy seal 37 years former head of u.s special opera hillary clinton fan special operations hillary clinton fan who led the operations commanded the operations that took down sodom hussein and they killed osama bin laden says that your sentiment is the greatest threat to democracy in his life he's a hillary clinton uh backer uh and an obama backer and frankly he's the navy wouldn't it be nice if we got osama bin laden a lot sooner than that wouldn't it have been nice plus no no look hold on wait a second hear me out here they only killed him once if it was up to me i will have killed him many more times and frankly frankly much better no one has seen no one has seen this kind of dead i know all the deadest people they don't always tickle me that much they don't always tickle me that much admiral mcraven responded i did not back hillary clinton or anyone else i'm a fan of president obama and president george w bush both of whom i worked for i admire all presidents regardless of their political party who uphold the dignity of the office and who use that office to bring the nation together in challenging times oh snap you just got seal team dissed but today trump doubled down on his second guessing of course we should have captured osama bin laden long before we did i pointed him out in my book just before the attack on the world trade center president clinton famously missed his shot we paid pakistan billions of dollars and they never told us he was living there fools at that you know it's always the good guy shouting fools next that's right oh they said they said i was insane they they said i was insane but i'll show them who's insane when i sew that chimp head onto a duck [Laughter] and trump did mention a dire threat in his book the america we deserve it's right there on the cover donald trump something's got to be something's got to be done we were warned trump explained to wallace that he is humble enough to admit his mistakes like not visiting that french cemetery i don't mind getting bad news if i'm wrong if i do something wrong like for instance the cemetery i was not allowed to go because of the secret service yes trump is willing to take the blame he's just never to blame it's like the famous sign on truman's desk the buck would stop here but the secret service wouldn't let it at one point give them hell hairy if the secret service lets you give them hell at one point chris wallace asked trump a dangerous question can you envision envision a situation well into your second term where you think that you're so good for the country and so essential for the progress of the country that you would try to amend the constitution so you could serve a third term chris what are you doing ixnay on the resident prey for i flay now he said he's not going to do it right trump said he's not going to do it and we know he never lies wallace wallace then moved on to trump's acting attorney general matt whitaker and whitaker's history of criticizing the russia investigation did you know before you appointed him that he had that record and was so critical of robert mueller i did not know that i did not know he took views on the mueller investigation as such if he didn't know about his views on the mueller investigation why did he hire him look we need a new attorney general get that masculine toilet guy at my age every time i sit down the whole golf bag ends up in the water trap if you catch my drift oh he's a lawyer too oh that's fat that's his gravy that's just gravy medical attention besides trump says he's cooperating with the special counsel's office your team is preparing written answers to questions about not my team i'm preparing written answers mike i'm the one that does the answer no it's true it's true we actually have one of his written answers right here no collusion for a good time call vlad space force but there's one person who doesn't believe trump's appointment of whitaker was accidental the next house intelligence committee chair and man who'd mistakenly thought the temperature would be taken orally adam schiff now congressman schiff has said publicly that trump installed whitaker to hobble mueller's investigation so trump responded in a measured tone so funny to see little adam talking about the fact that acting attorney general matt whitaker was not approved by the senate but not mentioning the fact that bob mueller who was actively was not approved by the senate yes because the special counsel doesn't require senate approval unlike attorney general you can't just use senate confirmation to discredit anyone you've decided you want to get rid of i'm sorry melania you were never confirmed by the senate your appointment is not on void my new wife is tom brady he's gonna sail through but let's not gloss over the fact that the president of the united states referred to a congressman as little adam oh what a miserable piece of now for the record for the record according to this network's rules i am only allowed to say that word when the president's tweet appears on screen like so at which point i can totally say it am i going to take advantage of that opportunity is adam in the woods got to got to got to i just explained it with that old loophole this is a new high in low even for trump so when it first appeared commentators weren't sure if they were looking at a typo or an insult it's so hard to tell usually when trump makes mistakes he either deletes them or hosts the tv show with them the the president [Applause] thank you the president riding a schoolyard taunts seems shocking but let's not forget when george washington wrote these federalist papers can bite my wooden balls more like alexander cameltoe if you ask me alexander cameltoe what's my name yes wooden balls the carpet matched the [Applause] [Music] teeth [Music] you
