Miles Teller | Fmr. USAID Admin. Samantha Power

China hit back at the U.S. with tariffs on technology, farm equipment and fashion products, Elon Musk is using a group of 18 to 24 year-old hackers for his unconstitutional government takeover, and rising prices have prompted Waffle House restaurants to enact a surcharge of 50 cents per egg. Stephen welcomes the former Administrator of USAID, Samantha Power, back to The Late Show to explain what the agency does and why the world, including the United States, will suffer from President Trump and Elon Musk’s efforts to dismantle it. Actor Miles Teller describes the surreal moments that led up to his family’s evacuation from their Pacific Palisades home, which was lost to the tragic fire that consumed much of that community.

Teller’s latest film, “The Gorge,” is available February 14 on AppleTV+.
