STEPHEN COLBERT: OK, on Friday, your community, and congrats on this one–.
NCS’S JAKE TAPPER: Thank you.
STEPHEN COLBERT: –received a shout out from Trump. He posted that “NCS and the New York Times are, quote, desperately looking for a reason to criticize President Donald J. Trump on the Iran situation, but just can’t find it. Why don’t they just say, job well done, Mr. President?”.
So Jake, that’s a easy query, why don’t you simply say job well-done? How exhausting is that? What would that damage for those who simply mentioned, job nicely accomplished, after which later ask what the job was?
NCS’S JAKE TAPPER: Okay, so first–. First of all, let me say, I say it to you, job nicely accomplished.
(AUDIENCE ROARS).
STEPHEN COLBERT: Thank you very a lot. Now I’m supposed to inform him? I’m imagined to cross–
NCS’S JAKE TAPPER: No, no, no. It stops at you.
STEPHEN COLBERT: Oh, it simply stops right here? Oh, that’s proper, yeah, yeah. Yeah, proper, proper yeah yeah.
CROWD: STEPHEN! STEPHEN! STEPHEN! STEPHEN!
NCS’S JAKE TAPPER: But in phrases of job nicely accomplished, let’s simply deconstruct it. It’s not accomplished.
STEPHEN COLBERT: It’s just about accomplished.
NCS’S JAKE TAPPER: It’s not accomplished. There’s nonetheless–.
STEPHEN COLBERT: It’s fairly– We’ve received, and it’s just about over. For all intents and functions.
NCS’S JAKE TAPPER: He actually, President Trump is actually threatening to explode your entire nation yesterday. Iran, not ours.
STEPHEN COLBERT: Yeah, don’t… Yes. Now you’re nitpicking. Now you… That’s the…
NCS’S JAKE TAPPER: That’s my job.
STEPHEN COLBERT: That’s the NCS simply trying for something to criticize the president for.
NCS’S JAKE TAPPER: I don’t need to look very far in relation to issues, to query the federal government about this battle. And we nonetheless don’t even know if the peace talks in Pakistan are gonna occur.
STEPHEN COLBERT: Oh, that’s proper, as a result of the President despatched over– J.D. Vance and Witkoff, is that who it’s? Who is it?
NCS’S JAKE TAPPER: I believe so. They saved on altering. First, Trump–.
STEPHEN COLBERT: And Kushner.
NCS’S JAKE TAPPER: Vance wasn’t gonna go, now we’re instructed Vance is gonna go.
STEPHEN COLBERT: And then Iran mentioned, we’re not sending anyone.
NCS’S JAKE TAPPER: Yeah, I imply, there may be–
STEPHEN COLBERT: Are they sending any individual now?
NCS’S JAKE TAPPER: There does appear to be a break up. The authorities in that nation isn’t in nice form. So I believe that there’s speak from the Parliament, that there are going to be talks, however the Islamic Republican Guard, it’s not clear that they’re going to ship anyone or that they’re in cahoots with their very own authorities?
STEPHEN COLBERT: So Vance might simply be over there negotiating with himself. Which I’ll remind him as a fellow Catholic is a sin.
NCS’S JAKE TAPPER: Um. I imply I hope there are peace talks–
STEPHEN COLBERT: Me too. Yeah, after all. I hope the entire thing, I hope United States will get one thing significant out of it. If we received the uranium, that will be great.
NCS’S JAKE TAPPER: The Strait of Hormuz might reopen?
STEPHEN COLBERT: It might reopen, yeah. Yeah.
NCS’S JAKE TAPPER: I imply, that, we had been instructed, as you defined earlier, was that was a accomplished deal, after which it wasn’t a accomplished deal, than I believe yesterday. I lose observe.
President Trump introduced that the US had fired upon an Iranian vessel. And so, I imply it’s not accomplished. That’s my complete level.
Why did I say, why did I not say, job nicely accomplished, not accomplished?
STEPHEN COLBERT: Negative, destructive, destructive!
OK. Even if they begin negotiating tomorrow, they’ve sooner or later to do the entire rattling factor, or else the ceasefire ends on Wednesday. Is that the stop hearth of the, is it midnight Tuesday?
NCS’S JAKE TAPPER: But I believe that I believe– I’m unsure if it’s midnight Tuesday or midnight Wednesday.
But I Think that it’s potential that President Trump will push it off.
STEPHEN COLBERT: In good religion negotiations.
NCS’S JAKE TAPPER: Perhaps. We hope so.
