Stephen Colbert discussed the arrest of the former prince Andrew and Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s confusing new Board of Peace.<\/p>\n

The Late Show host told the audience of Epstein pal Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s arrest to a sea of cheers. \u201cYes, finally, someone, anyone!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cLet\u2019s hear it for British justice, which is better than American justice because it comes with frilly wigs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colbert also shared the now viral image<\/a> captured by a photographer of Mountbatten-Windsor lying back in a car leaving the police station. \u201cA classic pose known as the Nosferatu,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The arrest was related to alleged misconduct in public office.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack here in the colonies it was a big day for Donald Trump,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Trump launched his so-called Board of Peace this week, where a permanent seat costs $1bn in cash and he is the chair for life.<\/p>\n

Colbert joked that it \u201cworks kinda like a strip club: cash only and Donald Trump will never leave\u201d.<\/p>\n

But America\u2019s closest allies have yet to join, with the list of sign-ups including Qatar, Pakistan, Hungary, El Salvador, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Colbert listed the countries and joked that they constitute \u201cthe Epcot of places Goofy was jailed without a trial\u201d.<\/p>\n

It led to another unhinged ramble from Trump, during which he started talking about his love for young women. \u201cIf he doesn\u2019t stop yapping, Pam Bondi\u2019s gonna have to start live-redacting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Colbert said that after raising billions, the board\u2019s first mission was \u201cfiguring out why\u201d.<\/p>\n

There was also chatter this week surrounding Barack Obama\u2019s appearance on a podcast in which he said that aliens were real before later walking it back.<\/p>\n

When Trump was asked about it, he said it was an example of Obama sharing classified information and he was not supposed to be doing that. Colbert said that instead, classified information \u201cshould be safely stored in the Mar-a-Lago security toilets\u201d.<\/p>\n

Trump also said he didn\u2019t know about the existence of aliens as it\u2019s just not something he talks about. Colbert joked that \u201cwhile Trump never talks about meeting aliens, we do know he\u2019s had close encounters with predators\u201d before showing a picture of him with Epstein.<\/p>\n

This week has also seen a large amount of sewage spilling into the Potomac River, which has been called the \u201clargest discharge in the nation\u2019s history\u201d.<\/p>\n

Colbert quipped: \u201cI thought the largest discharge in the nation\u2019s history happened after Kid Rock and RFK Jr drank whole milk in a hot tub.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Stephen Colbert discussed the arrest of the former prince Andrew and Donald Trump\u2019s confusing new Board of Peace.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":488324,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[49,48,75,348],"class_list":["post-488323","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=488323"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488323\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/488324"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=488323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=488323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=488323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
