In this episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Stephen provides a satirical take on current global and domestic events:
- Trump’s Visit to China: Stephen mocks the diplomatic greeting between Donald Trump and President Xi, particularly the intense, lengthy handshake (0:36-1:00). He also pokes fun at the elaborate welcome ceremony and Trump's claim of always telling the truth (3:33-3:37).
- Robotics in the News: Coverage of robotics in China is ridiculed, including a robot capable of bowing and laying down (5:26-6:00), as well as a self-service sausage robot that Fox News reporter Bret Baier investigated (7:26-8:30).
- The Global Snack Crisis: A shortage of petroleum, needed for colored inks, has forced the Japanese snack brand Calby to pivot to plain black-and-white packaging, which Stephen jokingly frames as an existential crisis for potato chips (8:33-10:20).
- FDA Shake-up: Stephen criticizes the appointment of an obscure Florida lawyer, Kyle Diamontes, to lead the FDA after the firing of Marty McCary (10:30-11:15).
The episode concludes with a mention of his upcoming guest, David Letterman (11:21).
