On a recent episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the host kicked off the night by celebrating the return of a familiar face to the Ed Sullivan Theater. David Letterman made a special appearance on the show, generating excitement among the live audience and viewers at home.
But the real highlight of the show was the discussion around President Joe Biden‘s birthday. Biden turned 81, breaking records as the oldest sitting president in United States history. Despite his age, Biden continues to command a strong group of supporters. Many of them are motivated by their desire to prevent a Trump resurgence rather than unwavering support for the president himself.
Notably, Biden’s team is considering different strategies to tackle his age going into the next year. One idea is the “bubble wrap” strategy, which involves allowing the president more time to rest and minimizing draining international trips. However, there are some strategists who believe Biden should be out and about more, connecting with people personally and lightening the mood with jokes about his age.
In other news, the annual White House turkey pardoning tradition took place. The lucky birds chosen this year were named Liberty and Bell, in a nod to the swing state of Pennsylvania. These turkeys enjoyed a lavish welcome, arriving in style in a stretch black Cadillac Escalade. Rumor has it that they may be attending prom with the theme “Enchantment Under the Gravy.”
Music seems to be an essential part of these turkeys’ lives. As confirmed by a spokesman, they are “Swifties,” listening to Taylor Swift. Perhaps their favorite track is a turkey-themed rendition of “I Knew You Were Trouble.”
Switching gears, former President Donald Trump made headlines when a Colorado judge ruled that he engaged in an insurrection on January 6th. While the ruling did not bar Trump from the state’s primary ballot, it marked the first time a judge officially recognized his involvement in the insurrection.
Trump, never one to shy away from controversial statements, took the opportunity to take swipes at President Biden. He referred to Biden as a “Manchurian candidate,” drawing parallels to the film “The Manchurian Candidate.” Trump’s lighthearted speech continued, including an anecdote about his wife’s reaction to the infamous “Russia, Russia, Russia” scandal.
Meanwhile, in Argentina, a right-wing former TV host named Javier Milei was elected as the country’s president. Known as the “Donald Trump of Argentina,” Milei is a unique character. He campaigned while wielding a chainsaw, emphasizing his commitment to cutting government spending. Additionally, he has advocated for the legalization of organ sales.
But perhaps the most interesting detail about Milei is his previous career as a tantric sex instructor. He claims to have the ability to go three months without ejaculating, which he believes contributes to his self-discipline and ability to solve the country’s problems.
Overall, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert continues to provide insightful and entertaining discussions on current events and politics. With engaging guests like David Letterman and thought-provoking topics, each episode offers viewers a lively dose of entertainment.
