I'm your host, Stephen Colbert, and I tell you, it was...

I want to thank everyone in my audience for waiting in line under the Ed Sullivan Theater's

You guys, oh, you guys are gonna be so delicious with a layer of Duncan Hines frosting.

All over the country, temperatures hit triple digits.

In Nevada and California, officials put out heat warnings for the towns of Pahrump and Furnace Creek.

As in, I'm sweating so hard, the crack of my pahrump...

The threat of dehydration led the National Weather Service to recommend that Americans in 11 states avoid alcohol and caffeine.

Little Baileys, little Baileys in the coffee is fine.

All this heat may be affecting the president, because, and I want to be...

Trump was speaking on the White House lawn earlier this week, and see if you can pinpoint the moment the cameraman got a little distracted.

At the end of 50 days, if we don't have a deal, it's gonna be, uh, too bad.

Yeah, the tariffs are gonna go on, and other sanctions go on.

Now, the White House says he's fine, that it's just a minor soft tissue irritation, which is good, but if he's gonna put makeup on it...

And I just want to say, you know, while I make a lot of jokes about the president,

I'm on TV every day, and I wear makeup, too.

And there's nothing weird about that, is there?

I'm sure Trump would rather have us talk about his hand than Jeffrey Epstein.

That controversy is causing so much trouble for Trump that he recently ordered it to be put in a cell and for the cameras to stop working for three minutes.

MAGA is furious because they think Trump is refusing to release the Epstein files.

In response, Trump has been saying that there are no credible files, and if there are, they're really boring.

That part is true, and you can read them on the annual Summer Epstein client list.

Trump is going all in on the idea that his followers have fallen for a nefarious Democratic scheme.

All it is is the Republicans, certain Republicans, got duped by the Democrats, and they're following a Democrat playbook.

We have a location and a thing we won't talk about.

Trump is desperately looking for a scapegoat.

Yesterday, he fired the Manhattan federal prosecutor who handled the Epstein case and pulled the UNO reverse card, calling on the FBI to investigate this Jeffrey Epstein hoax, by which he evidently means he wants the FBI to investigate the folks who investigated Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking, which is weird, but we could get a whole new spinoff of To Catch a Predator.

Why don't you have a seat there and get comfortable for a minute?

Why have you been spending so much time in kitchens with perverts?

Federal prosecutors are not the only people

Yesterday, there were rumors that Trump was planning to fire Federal Reserve chairman and Keebler elf at LensCrafters, Jerome Powell.

Uh, here's Trump at Tuesday's Chopper talk, bad-mouthing Powell.

You talk to the guy, it's like talking to, uh, nothing.

Talking to Jerome Powell is like talking to a chair.

Maybe that's because his job title at the Federal Reserve is Chair.

It's not entirely clear the-the president has the power to get rid of Powell, but even the whiff of it roiled the stock market yesterday.

That's because firing the Fed chair, who was supposed to be an independent steward of our financial system and our monetary policy, would create an issue that economists call...
