Welcome in here and out there to the Late Show.

I'm your host, Stephen Colbert, ladies and gentlemen.

I don't think we should take one step further in the show without saluting our audience tonight because they waited outside in New York's coldest day yet this holiday season.

It was the kind of weather today that makes you wish you were someplace tropical, like on a boat in the Caribbean, but

There's a controversy over whether the Trump administration will release the video of that second strike on survivors of an attack on an alleged drug boat back in September.

You released video of that first boat strike on September 2, but not the second video.

Will you release video of that strike so that the American people can see for themselves what happened?

I don't know what they have, but whatever they have, we'd certainly release no problem.

Yesterday, President Crankypants changed that to problem.

President, you said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd off the coast of Venezuela.

And frankly, you're in a lot of trouble with this boat thing.

Not to mention, why did you get that mri?

If you're wondering why Trump's backpedaling so hard on this video, people who have seen it have told CBS news that the two survivors were in the water for 45 minutes between strikes and they were waving overhead before the second strike.

And that action could be interpreted as the survivors either calling for help or trying to wave off another strike.

Why else would they be frantically waving after their boat blew up, huh?

At one point, the guy takes off his T shirt.

Isn't it possible that even the act of taking off a T shirt could have been part of an attempt to get attention for help?

Or it could have been an attempt to signal to another cartel boat to come pick them up and pick up the cargo.

At one point, it seemed like they were trying to spell out the word help, which is drug smuggler acronym for hey and Joyce leftover Pot.

Yesterday, Trump tried to help out some folks who had been hurt by the tariffs.

He announced a $12 billion bailout for American farmers.

In the announcement, Trump claimed that the tariffs are not the problem, they're the solution, saying the bailout was funded by tariffs and that this money would not be possible without tariffs.

No, you dingus, they need the money because of your tariffs.

He's like a guy saying, hey, if I hadn't given you herpes, if I hadn't given you herpes, you would never have gotten to try this soothing topical ointment.

Trump made the announcement at a roundtable where he explained his theory of why farming has become less affordable.

Farming equipment has gotten too expensive, and

a lot of the reason is because they put these environmental excesses on the equipment which don't do a damn thing except make it complicated, make it impractical, and

In many cases, you need about 185 IQ to turn on a lawnmower.

Sounds like he doesn't know how to turn on lawnmower.

But I guess it adds new context to this picture.

But it wouldn't be a Trump event of any kind without a little bit of smooching to the bottom.

I've got a two year old little boy at home, and

the other day I was reading my little boy a story at night, putting him to bed, and

he said, daddy, I don't want Santa Claus to come to our house for Christmas.

This is all nice for the farmers, but you know who's not getting a bailout?

And that's too bad, because businesses are warning that it's only so long before Trump's tariffs costs hit consumers.

Retailers like William Sonoma, Under Armour and Abercrombie are all warning of price increases.

Now those poor Abercrombie models will never be able to afford a shirt.

Another retailer who might be raising their prices is Kohl's.

That means I'll have to use my Kohl's cash.

And I was saving it to play a really funny joke on someone in my will.

The administration is trying to win over the public in other ways.

And Sean Duffy, our Transportation Secretary, who announced A new airport improvement program which aims to add, among other things, areas for travelers to work out.

But Duffy specified it's for light workouts, saying, I don't want you to have a full body sweat going on until you stink.

All you have to do is space out your exercise.

That's why I do one squat every five years.

These proposed, These proposed mini gyms would include things like boxes for Step ups, treadmills, maybe some exercise bikes and yoga mats.

And if you're a fan of the airport bathroom, you're going to love the airport yoga mat.

Now you'll be doing downward pet relief area.

Now, you may remember the last time we saw secretary Sean Duffy.
