Welcome under all. Thank you very much. Welcome to the late show. I'm your host, Stephen Colbert. You know, folks,

we made a bunch of jokes for the four years. The previous billionaire president ruled with malicious intent and exploited our democracy to pay for the gold plating on his toilets and

and that was fun. But I got to say, I feel much safer in the hands of this president who's just a regular old Joe Sixgaff. But

that said, gaps are piling up. For instance, last night we learned that buy needs have found a second batch of classified documents at a new location. No! Say they're so, Joe, what do you do? I know your retirement age, are you starting a collection?

They're classified documents, not spoons from the Delaware Train Museum. Find another fun thing. Find another youthful indiscretion. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Defenders of the president are saying this was an honest mistake. And his team has been cooperative, plus lawyers say it happens all the time. Good to know. Counterpoint, maybe it shouldn't. Maybe, and I don't know if we have the technical

technology, maybe when you check out a document, there's some kind of card that gets stamped. And then if you don't return the document on time, there's an overdue document fee that you have to pay, or you're not allowed to check out the next exciting volume of Nancy Drew in the status of a Ron's nuclear program.

After. Thank you. I'm just saying.

After the first classified documents were found last November, Biden's team started a thorough sweep. In this time, they uncovered a second batch and a storage area in Biden's garage, kudos to his team for being able to find anything in an old man's garage.

Okay, okay. All right, we're done with the box labeled takeout menus 1985 to 1987. Let's take a break and start on those baby food jars full of screws.

This morning, a little Gerber, Gerber jar full of tax. This morning, the president responded to accusations that he just left these documents sitting around next to his Corvette.

Let me, I'm going to get the chance to speak on all this God willing soon, but I said earlier this week, people, and by the way, my Corvette's in a lock garage. Okay, so it's not like you're sitting on the street.

Come on, you think I'd leave. Come on, guys, I just want you to know that's a further record. It's in a lock garage. I think I might leave my sweet cherry vet on the main drag where some street those could scuffle with their switch blades. No, sir, right.

Keep that baby locked up tight in my garage Sunday afternoons. I go in there and buff it with a handful of missile maps. This continued conject.

This continuing, this continuing game of Wacadoc has caught the attention of Attorney General and Kebler Elf who invested his cookies into a high yield savings account.

Merrick Garland, you may remember last year Garland assigned a special prosecutor to look into the former president's Mar-a-Lago document stash among other things. Well, today he announced the sequel.

I'm here today to announce the appointment of Robert Herve as a special counsel pursuant to Department of Justice regulations governing such matters.

Well, I guess he had to, but this feels like flossing. I know it's the right thing to do, but it's making me spit blood.

Specifically, we're talking about former Maryland, U.S. Attorney Robert Herve, who was appointed by the previous president, which explains the t-shirt he wore at the swearing in ceremony.

You might know, it's very big of him. Very big of him.

You know who might also be getting a special counsel soon, newly elected congressman, George Santos, seen here talking to his dad, Bruce Springsteen.

I didn't know. I didn't know. Bruce must be so proud.

Yesterday, the New York Times got a copy of the resume Santos gave to the Nassau County Republican Party after they sent him a standard vetting questioner.
