INTERVIEW OF FOX NEWS' INTERVIEW OF PRESIDENT TRUMP.

>> Stephen: MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME THIS

MORNING.

>> IT'S TOO EARLY.

>> Stephen: I'M SORRY.

I KNOW YOU RARELY PUT ON PANTS BEFORE NOON.

SIR, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE STRIKE ON SOLEIMANI.

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE RIGHT MOVE, I DON'T KNOW, BUT ONE OF

YOUR JUSTIFICATIONS WAS THAT HE WAS PLANNING TO ATTACK OUR

EMBASSY.

DO YOU STILL STAND LIKE THAT?

>> I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FOUR EMBASSIES, COULD HAVE BEEN

MILITARY BASES, COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT OF OTHER THINGS, TOO, BUT

IT WAS IMMINENT.

>> Stephen: OKAY, THAT'S KIND OF VAGUE.

YOUR OWN DEFENSE SECRETARY SAYS HE DIDN'T SEE ANY OF THAT

EVIDENCE.

WHERE DID YOU GET ALL THAT INTEL?

>> MIGHT, BUT -- >> Stephen: OKAY.

HOW MANY OF YOUR STATEMENTS ABOUT THE STRIKE HAVE BEEN LIES?

>> 80% ARE DISHONEST, AND I MEAN REALLY DISHONEST.

>> Stephen: SO WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL CONGRESS ABOUT THE STRIKE?

>> CAN YOU IMAGINE?

THEY WANT US TO CALL UP AND SPEAK TO CROOKED CORRUPT

POLITICIAN ADAM SCHIFF.

OH, ADAM, WE HAVE SOMEBODY THAT WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET FOR A

LONG TIME -- >> Stephen: OOOH, OOOH, OOOH!

I LOVE IMPROV.

LET ME BE SCHIFF.

HELLO, THIS IS ADAM SCHIFF.

WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW, MR. PRESIDENT?

>> COULD WE MEET?

>> Stephen: MEET?

LET'S SEE -- HMM, TODAY IS NOT GOOD.

I'M PRETENDING TO TALK TO THE PRESIDENT.

>> LET'S DO IT IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.

>> Stephen: NOW PRETEND I'M LOU DOBBS!

>> AND I SAY, LOU, HERE'S THE PROBLEM --

>> Stephen: IS THE PROBLEM THAT YOU'RE THE PRESIDENT OF THE

UNITED STATES AND YOU'RE GETTING ADVICE FROM LOU DOBBS?

( LAUGHTER ) SHIFTING GEARS, THE OSCAR

NOMINATIONS CAME OUT THIS MORNING, SIR.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT BEYONCE WAS SNUBBED FOR BEST ORIGINAL SONG?

>> I JUST HAVE SUCH RESPECT FOR THE QUEEN, I DON'T THINK THIS

SHOULD BE HAPPENING TO HER.

>> Stephen: YEAH, BACK TO THE MIDDLE EAST.

YOU CAMPAIGNED ON BRINGING THE TROOPS HOME, BUT NOW YOU'RE

SENDING MORE TROOPS TO SAUDI ARABIA.

>> THEY'RE PAYING US.

>> Stephen: WELL, THAT MAKES IT SOUND LIKE YOU'RE RENTING OUT

OUR TROOPS LIKE MERCENARIES.

THAT'S AWFUL.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

>> BEAUTIFUL GREEN CASH.

>> Stephen: OKAY, THAT SEEMS LIKE YOU.

MOVING ON.

YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF BEING IMPEACHED, SIR.

HOW WOULD OTHER LEADERS HANDLE THAT PRESSURE?

>> THEY'D FOLD UP LIKE AN UMBRELLA.

>> Stephen: SIR, DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE AN UMBRELLA?

BECAUSE THIS FOOTAGE IS PRETTY DAMNING.

>> THEY MADE THAT STORY UP.

>> Stephen: MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME.

I'M SO GLAD YOU KEEP AGREEING TO THESE FAKE INTERVIEWS.

>> DEATH TO AMERICA.

>> Announcer: IT'S "THE LATE SHOW" WITH STEPHEN COLBERT!
