00:00Is there any period where you treated women respectfully? That hasn't happened for years.
00:06In a sketch during CBS's Late Show on Thursday night, host Stephen Colbert poked fun
00:11at President Donald Trump's recent interview with Sean Hannity, re-cutting the footage
00:16to make it look like he was interviewing the president. Rearranging Trump's audio,
00:20Colbert manipulated the footage to look as if the president was confirming controversial
00:24allegations against him and praising the late-night host.
00:27Mr. President, thank you for sitting down with me twice in one week.
00:30It's very generous of your time, Colbert said as he began his mock interview.
00:34It's an honor to be on your show, the president is shown saying.
00:37Yes, I imagine it must be, Colbert agreed.
00:39Now before we start, is it okay if I manipulate this footage to make you look like an idiot?
00:44Regarding Trump's IQ challenge to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson,
00:48Colbert asked the president whether he could confirm his exact IQ number.
00:52I actually think it's much higher than people understand, Trump explained.
00:56When pressed for a number, Trump responds, eight, to which Colbert quipped,
01:00that is actually higher than I understand.
01:02Colbert then turned to the topic of Harvey Weinstein, who has recently been accused
01:05of years of sexual harassment and assault by multiple women.
01:09The host asked the president whether he too is engaged in any forms of sexual harassment.
01:13Trump's answer?
01:1525 years ago, 20 years ago, and 10 years ago, and five years ago.
01:19Okay, any other time?
01:20Tomorrow.
01:21Colbert then asked the president which states he believed clinched the election for him,
01:25to which Trump replied that he could name three-quarters of them.
01:28Asking for a specific state name, Trump was then shown to respond, Russia.

01:44Now personally, I thought this was hilarious, but I'm really glad that no one will ever
01:48manipulate my audio. And I hate puppies and small children.
