I'M YOUR HOST STEPHEN COLBERT ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )

( PIANO RIFF ) DONALD TRUMP'S BEEN PRESIDENT

( AUDIENCE BOOING ) >> Stephen: LOOK, I'M WITH

( LAUGHTER ) AT THIS POINT, I GO TO BED EVERY

NIGHT BELIEVING THERE'S NOTHING HE COULD SAY OR DO THAT COULD

( LAUGHTER ) AND TODAY, IT HAPPENED AGAIN.

TRUMP MET WITH THE NATION'S GOVERNORS, AND AT THE TOP OF THE

AGENDA WAS THE URGENT PROBLEM OF SCHOOL SHOOTINGS.

DONALD TRUMP HAS SAID THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD ARM TEACHERS.

THIS IDEA HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED WELL BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN, OR

FLAWS OF MRS. FERGUSON PACKING HEAT IN HOME ROOM, TRUMP

RECONSIDERED HIS POSITION AND APPROACHED THE PROBLEM WITH A

MORE-NUANCED, MULTIFACETED, AND COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION.

>> WHEN THE PRESS COVERED IT, THE HEADLINE WAS, "TRUMP WANTS

I WANT HIGHLY-TRAINED PEOPLE THAT HAVE A NATURAL TALENT, LIKE

HITTING A BASEBALL OR HITTING A GOLF BALL.

( LAUGHTER ) >> STEPHEN: YEAH, SHOOTING A GUN

YOU HAVE TO BE BORN WITH AT LEAST ONE FINGER.

AND SOMETIMES THE ONLY WAY OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS TO PLAY

YOU GIVE ONE GUY A BALL, AND THEN YOU SHOOT HIM.

( LAUGHTER ) IF YOU SEE SOMEBODY WHO'S A GOOD

SHOT, CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'RE TEACHING AP CHEMISTRY.

TRUMP IS SAYING THE PEOPLE LIKE THE IDEA.

OF COURSE, TRUMP'S SAYING ARM THE TEACHERS BECAUSE IF YOU'RE

IN THE POCKET OF THE N.R.A. THE SOLUTION IS NEVER FEWER GUNS.

OF COURSE, THE SCHOOL IN FLORIDA DID HAVE AN ARMED SHERIFF'S

DEPUTY, BUT EVEN WITH GUNS AND TRAINING, HE DIDN'T ENTER THE

NOR DID THE NEXT THREE ARMED DEPUTIES WHO SHOWED UP.

I MEAN, WHO AMONG US COULD HONESTLY SAY WHAT THEY THINK

>> YOU KNOW I REALLY BELIEVE, YOU DON'T KNOW UNTIL YOU TEST

IT, BUT I THINK, I REALLY BELIEVE I'D RUN IN-- EVEN IF I

THERE'S A LOT THERE I DOUBT, BUT THE PART I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE

( PIANO RIFF ) I JUST DON'T -- I DON'T SEE IT.

SIR, WE ALREADY KNOW HOW YOU REACT TO COMBAT SITUATIONS.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, STAB THEM WITH YOUR BONE SPURS?

WOULD HAVE RUN RIGHT UP TO HO CHI MINH AND KARATE CHOPPED HIM

AS LONG AS YOU'RE LIVING IN A FANTASY WORLD, AT LEAST MAKE IT

"EVEN IF I HAD A GUN I WOULD HAVE DROPPED IT JUST TO SHOW HOW

THEN I WOULD HAVE RUN IN AND HIT THE SHOOTER WITH MY LASER-BEAM

THEN USE MY MIND LIKE NEO IN 'THE MATRIX' TO FLY AWAY TO

OH, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF CHOCOLATE CAKE YOU'VE EVER

( LAUGHTER ) THAT'S REALLY STUPID, BUT HE

SAID IT, AND YOU CAN'T SAY HE DIDN'T SAY IT.

>> WHEN THE PRESIDENT SAID EARLIER TODAY THAT HE WOULD HAVE

RUN INTO THE SCHOOL, WAS HE SUGGESTING THAT HE COULD HAVE

>> UH, I THINK HE WAS JUST STATING THAT, AS A LEADER, HE

WOULD HAVE STEPPED IN AND HOPEFULLY BEEN ABLE TO HELP AS A

NUMBER OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE IN THE SCHOOL, THE COACH

AND OTHER ADULTS AND EVEN A LOT OF THE STUDENTS STEPPED UP AND

I THINK THE POINT HE WAS MAKING IS THAT HE WOULD HAVE WANTED TO

>> STEPHEN: SO TRUMP'S GOT ALL KINDS OF FANTASIES ABOUT WHAT
