00:01 Stephen Colbert Ladies and gentlemen, for anyone wondering, this is a comedy show. 00:05 Would anyone like to hear a joke? 00:09 All right, here we go. 00:12 Knock, knock. 00:13 Who's that? 00:14 Orange. 00:17 Speaking of Donald Trump. 00:20 Republican. 00:26 Very good. 00:28 Yeah. 00:28 Yeah. 00:28 Yeah. 00:28 Yeah. 00:30 The Republican frontrunner is now running fronter than ever before in the polls. 00:35 Nothing seems to stop this man despite the fact that he is facing some tough questions finally. 00:40 Like this one from upcoming CNN debate moderator Hugh Hewitt. 00:44 Hugh Hewitt At the debate, I may bring up Nasrallah being with Hezbollah and al-Julani being with al-Nusrah and al-Masri being with Hamas. 00:54 Do you think if I ask people to talk about those three things and the differences that that's a gotcha question? 00:59 Donald Trump Yes, I do. 01:00 I totally do. 01:01 I think it's ridiculous. 01:02 Hugh Hewitt So the difference between Hezbollah and Hamas does not matter to you yet, but it will. 01:07 Donald Trump It will when it's appropriate. 01:08 I will know more about it than you know. 01:10 And believe me, it won't take me long. 01:13 I will know far more than you know within 24 hours after I get the job. 01:18 Stephen Colbert Yes. 01:19 Yes. 01:20 Oh, folks, that is a core campaign promise. 01:24 Trump, ready on day one to prepare for day two. 01:29 But just hope nothing happens. 01:33 Hope nothing happens. 01:35 But folks, when you're president, you're also commander-in-chief. 01:39 Does he have what it takes to lead the military? 01:41 Yes, according to many military experts who are Donald Trump. 01:47 As he explained to his biographer, while he has never served, he has, quote, always felt he was in the military because he went to a military-themed boarding school. 01:57 Yes. 01:58 Same reason I feel like I was a NASCAR driver, because as a kid, I had a race car bed. 02:09 Fun. 02:09 That looks fun. 02:10 That looks fun. 02:11 Here's the thing. 02:12 Trump attended New York Military Academy, and for those of you who are saying that this isn't the same as combat, Trump agrees. 02:20 It's better. 02:22 because he says that his experience gave him more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military. 02:29 Yes. 02:30 Yes. 02:31 He didn't see any active duty, but he was on the ring hop committee. 02:36 And he got the neatness and order medal. 02:40 Neatness and order. 02:41 That's like the purple heart of making your bed. 02:45 Apparently, 02:47 Apparently, Donald Trump was sent to military school after years of rowdy behavior at a more traditional prep school in Queens. 02:55 How rowdy? 02:57 He once gave a teacher a black eye because, quote, he didn't think he knew anything about music. 03:03 Note to self, do not book Trump the same night as Yo-Yo Ma. 03:13 There you go. 03:20 And folks, I know very well that we're talking about things that happened half a century ago. 03:25 I'm not saying Donald Trump's childhood reflects on who he is today. 03:29 Donald Trump is. 03:32 Because he said, quote, when I look at myself in the first grade and look at myself now, I'm basically the same. 03:37 The temperament is not that different. 03:42 And I think it's true. 03:44 Because even back then, when he built a wall of blocks, he made sure the Mexicans would pay for it.
