Heidi Klum | Coaled Hearted Jul 01, 2022

Show notes

The last day of this year’s Supreme Court session brought us a potentially devastating ruling that limits the power of the EPA, and the historic swearing in of the country’s first Black woman justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson. In lighter news, Stephen introduced a new segment that tracks this summer’s hottest trends, The Late Show’s “Crotch Wotch.” Stephen welcomes the incredible Heidi Klum to The Late Show for a two-part interview that begins with a preview of the new season of the fashion design competition show she co-hosts with longtime collaborator Tim Gunn, “Making The Cut,” streaming now on Amazon Prime.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Extended Cut) | Charge! Jun 30, 2022

Show notes

The former president publicly went after Cassidy Hutchinson after her testimony in front of the Jan. 6th Committee, and he may have attempted to intimidate her behind the scenes as well. Over at the Supreme Court, their recent rulings regarding religion further erode the idea that America’s government should operate independently of any church. And Rep. Kinzinger tells Stephen that the Jan. 6th Committee was aware of threats against Cassidy Hutchinson’s safety and that’s why her testimony was given at a hastily-announced surprise hearing on June 28th. He also addresses his frustration with the DOJ’s handling of people who refuse to testify before the Jan. 6th Committee, and lays out the bottom-line purpose of the committee: to make the coup plotters pay for their crimes.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Extended Cut) | This Just In-surrection Jun 29, 2022

Next, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez returns to The Late Show with her assessment of today’s Jan. 6th Committee hearing and her assertion that any member of congress who sought a pardon for their role in the insurrection should be expelled from their seat in the House of Representatives. The Congresswoman also says Democrats, in particular President Biden, need to show the American people they are ready to fight and to create leverage by signaling willingness to expand the Supreme Court and end the filibuster in the Senate.
