LOVELY TO MEET YOU.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> Stephen: JUST TO GET OUT
YOUR C.V. AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE.
THE YOUNGEST FEMALE WORLD
LEADER.
YOU ARE THE THIRD FEMALE PRIME
MINISTER OF NEW ZEALAND.
LADDER OF THE LABOR PARTY, AND
THE SECOND ELECTED LEADER IN
HISTORY TO HAVE A BABY WHILE IN
OFFICE.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: AND YOU ACTUALLY--
 ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
WHO IS THIS?
IS THIS NEVE?
>> THAT'S NEVE.
>> Stephen: THIS IS A LOVELY
SHOT.
THIS IS YOU AT THE U.N. WITH
YOUR BABY.
HAS ANY LEADER EVER BROUGHT
THEIR BABY TO THE U.N. BEFORE?
>> NO, I'M TOLD IT HASN'T
HAPPENED BEFORE.
>> Stephen: THAT'S A FIRST.
>> EVERYONE WAS MAKING THAT
NOISE ABOUT MY PARTNER, WEREN'T
THEY, RIGHT THERE?
THAT'S CLARKE.
>> Stephen: WELL, YOU ADDRESS
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TOMORROW.
>> YES, THAT'S CORRECT.
>> Stephen: AND I UNDERSTAND
YOU WERE ON THE FLOOR OF THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY, SEATED AT THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY, WHEN DONALD
TRUMP GAVE HIS ADDRESS.
>> I WAS.
>> Stephen: THERE WAS LAUGHTER
NEAR THE TOP OF IT, WHICH SEEMED
TO SURPRISE HIM.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: AND HE SAYS THAT
PEOPLE WEREN'T LAUGHING AT HIM.
THEY WERE LAUGHING WITH HIM.
WHAT-- WHAT-- DID YOU
EXPERIENCE?
 (  LAUGHTER  )
AS SOMEONE IN THE ROOM?
>> ARE YOU TRYING TO CREATE A
DIPLOMATIC INCIDENT HERE RIGHT
NOW?
>> Stephen: MAYBE I'M GOING TO
DEFUSE ONE RIGHT NOW.
THERE WAS A LITTLE LAUGH AND
THERE WAS A BIGGER LAUGH.
>> SO THERE WAS A LITTLE LAUGH.
AND HE SAID, "I DIDN'T EXPECT
THAT RESPONSE."
AND THEN THERE WAS A BIGGER
LAUGH, AND PEOPLE LAUGHED WITH
HIM.
 ( LAUGHTER )
THE SECOND --
>> Stephen: ON THE SECOND ONE.
THE SECOND ONE PEOPLE WERE
LAUGHING WITH HIM.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: VERY NICE.
NO WAR BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES
AND NEW ZEALAND THEN.
>> NO, PEACELOVING NATION.
>> Stephen: THE FIRST LAFL?
THE FIRST LAWFUL?
>> THE FIRST-- THE FIRST LAUGH
WAS A SPONTANEOUS MURMUR
AMONGST--
 (  LAUGHTER  )
SPONTANEOUS!
SPONTANEOUS AMONG THE PEOPLE
WITH EACH OTHER.
>> AMONGST THEMES.
>> Stephen: AMONGST
THEMSELVES.
AND YOU JOINED IN?
>> I OBSERVED.
 (  LAUGHTER  )
 ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: VERY WELL DONE,
VERY WELL DONE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: ANOTHER SO DONALD
TRUMP HAS IMPOSED STEEL AND
ALUMINUM TARIFFS ALL OVER THE
PLACE.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: DOES NEW ZEALAND
PRODUCE STEEL AND ALUMINUM?
>> YES, WE DO, YES, WE DO.
IN THE A LARGE AMOUNT BUT WE DO.
>> Stephen: SOME.
YOUR FRIENDS IN AUSTRALIA-- ARE
YOU FRIENDS WITH AUSTRALIA?
>> WE'RE FRIENDS WITH AUSTRALIA.
JUST THAT KIND OF FRIENDLY
RIVALRY.
>> Stephen: SURE.
SO YOUR FRIENDS IN AUSTRALIA GOT
AN EXCEPTION.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: TO THE TARIFF.
DID YOU GUYS GET ONE?
>> WE DID NOT.
WE'RE STILL WORKING ON IT,
THOUGH.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
>> IN FACT I HAD A VERY BRIEF
ENCOUNTER WITH THE PRESIDENT AT
A RECEPTION AS PART OF THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY WEEK OF EVENTS,
AND I DID RAISE IT WITH HIM.
>> Stephen: AND HOW DID THAT
GO?
>> WELL, IT WAS-- IT WAS-- THERE
WAS A SLIGHT DISTRACTION.
MY PARTNER KNOCKED OVER A FLAG
POLE WHICH DISRUPTED --
>> Stephen: WHILE YOU WERE
TALKING TO PUMP?
>> RIGHT AT THE END OF IT.
I MENTIONED THIS-- HE
ACKNOWLEDGED WE'RE STILL WORKING
ON IT-- AND WE ARE.
AND THEN-- THEN THE FLAG WENT
DOWN.
>> Stephen: WAS IT-- WAS IT AN
AMERICAN FLAG?
>> I DIDN'T CATCH WHICH FLAG IT
WAS.
CLARKE WAS SCRAMBLING TO FIX THE
SITUATION.
>> Stephen: IF SECURITY DID
NOT ESCORT YOU TO THE BORDER,
THEN IT WAS NOT AN AMERICAN
FLAG.
>> AS I TURNED AROUND HE WAS
HOLDING THIS-- THIS-- WHAT I CAN
ONLY DESCRIBE AS A LONG METAL
PRONG, WHICH I THINK WAS THE
DEVICE THAT SPLAYS THE FLAG.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
>> AND I'M SURPRISED NO ONE
LEAPT ON HIM AT THAT POINT,
BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE A WEAPON.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE AN
IMPRESSIVE RESUME, AS I SAID
BEFORE.
BUT PERHAPS MOST IMPRESSIVE TO
ME IS THAT YOU ARE-- YOU COULD
TECHNICALLY BE DESCRIBED AS A
HOBBIT YOURSELF.
BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND YOU GREW UP
NEAR HOBBIT TOWN.
>> I DID.
BUT I DO FIND IT SLIGHTLY
OFFENSIVE THAT EVERYONE THINKS
EVERY NEW ZEALANDER STARRED IN
EITHER "LORLD OF THE RINGS" OR
"THE HOBBIT."
>> Stephen: WERE YOU IN "LORD
OF THE RINGS" OR "HOBBIT."
>> SOME OF US AUDITIONED BUT
WEREN'T SUCCESSFUL, OKAY, IS ALL
I'M GOING TO SAY.
>> Stephen: DID YOU REALLY
AUDITION?
>> I DID, I DID.
>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW IF
ANYBODY TOLD YOU, BUT I'M A
LITTLE BIT OBSESSED--
>> I HEARD THAT.
THE PEOPLE OF HOBBIT TOWN HAVE
HEARD OF THIS, AND THEY
CONTACTED ME TODAY AND SAID THEY
WOULD LIKE TO MAKE YOU A CITIZEN
OF HOBBITTON.
SO THANK YOU.
 ( APPLAUSE )
I ASKED-- I ASKED WHAT THAT
COMES WITH.
YOU GET A MUG.
>> Stephen: YOU GET A MUG?
>> YOU GET A MUG.
>> Stephen: DID YOU BRING THE
PAPERWORK?
>> I HAVE IT IN WRITING.
ACTUALLY, THEY'RE GOING TO THE
OFFICIAL CALLIGRAPHER FOR "THE
LORD OF THE RINGS" AND HOBBITON,
"THE HOBBIT" WRITE UP YOUR
OFFICIAL INVITATION.
SO COME TO NEW ZEALAND AND WE'LL
MAKE THE CEREMONY OFFICIAL.
THERE'S A DIRECT FLIGHT FROM
CHICAGO, NICE AND EASY.
STARTING IN NOVEMBER.
>> Stephen: WE'RE IN NEW YORK,
THOUGH.
I HAVE TO GET TO CHICAGO.
>> BUT IT'S CLOSE.
WE CONSIDER THAT CLOSE.
>> Stephen: WHEN DOES THAT
START?
>> THE DIRECT FLIGHTS START IN
NOVEMBER BUT YOU CAN COME ANY
TIME.
>> Stephen: I WOF LOVE TO
COME.
WE HAD FLIGHT OF THE CONCORDS ON
THE SHOW THIS WEEK.
AND WHEN THEY WERE HERE, I ASKED
THEM IF THEY HAD A QUESTION FOR
YOU, AND THEY ROARED A QUESTION.
IF YOU DON'T MIND.
>> SURE.
>> Stephen: JIM, CAN WE PLAY
THE QUESTIONS THE GUYS ASKED.
>> HI, JACINDA.
>> WE HAVE AN IMPORTANT QUESTION
FOR YOU.
CAN WE COME FOR DINNER?
 (  LAUGHTER  )
>> Stephen: WELL?
>> THEY PICKED ME UP FROM THE
AIRPORT, AND I'M HAPPY TO HAVE
THEM OVER FOR DINNER.
>> Stephen: IF THEY PICK YOU
UP FROM THE AIRPORT WHEN YOU GET
HOME.
>> YEAH, THAT WOULD BE HANDY.
I'VE MET THEM BEFORE.
IT'S NEW ZEALAND, SO WE ALL KNOW
EACH OTHER.
 ( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: WELL, JACINDA,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
HERE.
IF YOU DON'T MIND ME CALLING YOU
BY YOUR FIRST NAME.
>> PLEASE.
>> Stephen: IN NEW ZEALAND,
DOES EVERYONE CALL YOU BY YOUR
FIRST NAME OR DO THEY CALL YOU
MADAM PRIME MINISTER.
>> DEFINITELY NOT MADAM, BUT
MOSTLY JACINDA.
>> Stephen: CAN PEOPLE WALK UP
TO YOU AND TALK TO YOU IN NEW
ZEALAND?
>> YES, IN FACT I'VE HAD
CONVERSATIONS IN THE MOST
AWKWARD SITUATIONS, MATERNITY
BRA SHOPPING, GROCERY STORE.
>> Stephen: I DON'T, YOU WOULD
FIND DONALD TRUMP DOING THAT.
>> MATERNITY TERNITY BRAS.
>> Stephen: I DON'T THINK YOU
WOULD FIND HIM DOING THAT.
GOOD LUCK WITH THE TARIFFS AND
EVERYTHING AND GOOD LUCK WITH
THE SPEECH TOMORROW.
I HOPE EVERYONE LAUGHS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: PRIME MINISTER
JACINDA ARDERN, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH A
SPECIAL PERFORMANCE BY JON
BATISTE.
