Stephen Colbert skewers Trump's waffling 53-minute call to 'Fox and Friends'
Watch Next

Donald Trump may be a very busy man, but that doesn't mean he can't occasionally ring up Fox & Friends for an "old-fashioned 53-minute conspiracy ramble."

In the clip above from The Late Show, Stephen Colbert breaks down a few of the weirdest moments from the call — including Trump's waffling comments about the DNC server being given to CrowdStrike, a company apparently "owned by a very wealthy Ukrainian."

"Here's the thing about CrowdStrike and Ukraine," responds Colbert. "That's not a thing. CrowdStrike's an American company not owned by a Ukrainian — and they're so trustworthy that one of their biggest customers is the Republican Party."

Colbert then shows a clip of Fox & Friends' Steve Doocy questioning the president's assertion.

"I gotta say, getting fact-checked by Fox & Friends is like the Incredible Hulk telling you he doesn't like you when you're angry," says Colbert.
