Kamala Harris visits 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert'

I might just return to this season's big story, the election, tomorrow. That is, if I don't cover hurricane season instead. Stay tuned.
That's how I closed 'Bankrupt - 99 Cents Only Stores' by Bright Sun Films, a tale of the Retail Apocalypse and it turns out I get to blog about both today, thanks to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which had a special episode last night with Kamala Harris as its guest. Normally, I'd begin with the monologue and end with the cold open, but I'm shuffling the order by starting with The Late Show Presidential Nominee Interview cold open.



It's a tradition like no other.

LOL, because it's not a tradition for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, although it is one for 60 Minutes. As for Stephen's invitation to convicted criminal Donald Trump to "go fvck himself," I second his emotion.

Now the monologue, Getting To Know VP Kamala Harris | Trump's FEMA Lies Harm Hurricane Victims | Elon Is So Cringe.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is honored to be the only late night television show on Vice President Kamala Harris's media blitz, while her Republican opponent is busy undercutting FEMA's efforts to dig out from the devastation of Hurricane Helene, and his friend Elon Musk is once again the internet’s favorite laughing stock.
I'm glad Stephen returned from break for this episode. Doing so was good for his show, Vice President Harris, and the country.

Now the Vice President herself appears as she asks Trump via Stephen, "Have You No Empathy, Man?" - VP Harris On Trump's Lies About FEMA's Hurricane Helene Relief Work.

The Democratic nominee for president of the United States returns for her seventh visit to The Late Show and sits down for a four-part interview with Stephen Colbert. Watch as she and Stephen discuss the devastation of Hurricane Helene and the crude cynicism of Donald Trump who is spreading misinformation about FEMA's response as the potentially catastrophic Hurricane Milton approaches landfall in Florida. Stick around for three more segments with Vice President Kamala Harris!
I made Funkadelic's "One Nation under a Groove" my personal theme song for Harris's campaign back in 2019 and revived it once she began running again this summer, as shown by this tweet of mine. I'm thrilled that someone else thought of it, too, and hope it catches on.

As for Trump's lies about FEMA's response to Hurricane Helene, I'm being a good environmentalist by recycling what I last wrote in 'SNL' returns with Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris after winning six Emmy Awards; "the voices he's listening to aren't reliable sources. This includes JD Vance.' It also includes the voices in his head." Who are he and his supporters going to believe, their narrative or their own eyes and ears? So far, it's their narrative.

Stephen has three more clips of Harris, but I have to get ready for work. Watch them on The Late Show's YouTube channel.
