lot to get off my conscience. and i feel like i can say anything to you, my audience. you won't tell anybody, right? >> no! >> stephen: thanks. this is stephen colbert's midnight confessions. ♪ ♪ just for the record, i'm not sure the following things are sins. but they are things i feel really guilty about, okay? i will be right back. forgive me, audience. i-- ( laughter ) forgive me, audience, i give to the homeless, but only when i'm trying to get rid of pennies. i kind of like yankee candle.

i am a 51-year-old man, but i can name every member of taylor swift's girl squad. sometimes instead of paying a toll on the highway, i just drive through, yelling "i'm stephen colbert!" ( cheers and applause ) i never pitch in for pizza, but i always take the last slice. ( laughter ) i tell people that my fists are named "slayer" and "dominator," but they're really named "ross" and "rachel." ( laughter ) audience, i actually like the npr pledge drive.

it makes me feel like i'm wanted. sometimes, sometimes i use my foot to make lines in the carpet so it looks like i vacuumed. ( laughter ) when i'm in other people's houses, i look through their medicine cabinets. ( laughter ) those were actually tic tacs. and i regret having put them on a pizza. ( laughter ) one time a little kid asked me if famous people like me go to the bathroom. i lied and told him, "yes."

( laughter ) sometimes i look at a shampoo bottle and i think, "shouldn't they have tested this on animals first?" ( laughter ) last week, when i was talking with barack obama... i don't have anything to confess, i just wanted to say that last week i was talking with barack obama. ( cheers and applause ) my dog isn't really a service dog, i just bought him a vest online so i could take him to the movies with me. ( laughter ) we're gonna go see "star wars"! do do do do do! you want some pizza? you want some pizza, have some pizza. ( laughter )

that wasn't my real dog. ( laughter ) and i'm guessing i wasn't supposed to feed him pizza. every year i go on my wikipedia page and i make myself one inch taller. ( laughter ) when i catch a fish, i always throw it back, but only after staring into its eyes and saying, "you owe me one." forgive me, audience. >> we forgive you! >> stephen: thanks. i feel a lot better. stick around, we've got bruce willis.

short," which was just turned into a movie. please welcome michael lewis. ( applause ) ♪ ♪ >> stephen: all right. as i was saying before, you've written some of the most fascinating nonfiction books out there. "flash boys," "blind side," "boomerang," "liar's poker," "moneyball." and "the big short." now being made into a movie. >> yeah. ( applause ). >> stephen: ryan gosling, brad pitt, steve carrell. christian bale. tell the people out there, just a quick education, because you're better at educating people about complicated things than anybody i know.

>> that's a bad set up. but go ahead. >> stephen: you have complicated things like wall street, you are like america's liver. you take a complicated thing and break it down into a nutritional supplement for us. so what's a short on wall street, what is shorting? >> to bet against. so normally you think of investing, you are buying something. >> stephen: i think your company will do well. >> it will go up. but if you actually take a dim view of a company and you think its stock price is going to go down, you can short it. and how you do that is you borrow-- if i was going to short it to you. >> stephen: yeah. >> i find someone who owned it like some i.b.m. stock, i would borrow it from them, pay them a fee to borrow it and sell it to you. i don't own it, so i'm betting on, to buy it back from you later at a cheaper price, so i'm betting against it. and in this case, this is a story of the financial crisis. the financial crisis organized itself, the wall street organized itself around a giant bet.

kind of hundreds of billions of dollars bet on subprime mortgage bonds. >> stephen: leading up to the 2008 financial crisis. >> most of the inside of wall street was long, they owned subprime mortgage bonds. and the guys in the movies, the guys in the book were betting, they saw it coming and were betting against it. >> stephen: how many people saw this sort of thing coming? you say that wall street was long, like everybody on wall street was like, how is this. >> i think it's fair to say that up until almost the very end, all the big wall street banks, certainly the regulators, most investors didn't really see it coming. when i was working on the book, i remember asking the question, who was on the right side, like who were the smart people, all these banks were the stupid money. and that was the thing that was shocking to me. you have these banks that have had called, like the best and the brightest from america's best universities, for 30 years, they ship these people in, and they commit mass suicide. i mean they make this-- these horrible investment decisions.

the one thing they are supposed to do, right, is figure out where you put capital, where you lend money. and they poured hundreds of billions of dollars into these bad loans. so who were the ones on the other side? oddballs, mainly. they were maybe kind of a dozen or 15 people, all together, who- - >> stephen: all together? >> no, no, who-- >> stephen: there are hundreds of thousands of people. >> let me qualify, who went all in, they said this is the bet of a lifetime to bet against the system, against what these banks are doing. and who really, essentially risked their careers making the bet. lots of investors made little bets. the guys who laid it all on the line, not very many. >> stephen: christian bale, what is his character? >> dr. michael berry. >> stephen: and he goes into goldman sachs or one of these big investment banks and says will you sell me something called a subprime mortgage credit default swap. >> he is buying insurance on the bond. so it's like if i think your house is going to burn down and

i want to bet on it, i could buy insurance on your house. >> stephen: are you betting my house would burn down? >> that is kind of what he is saying. he's saying, "i think your house will burn down and i want to buy insurance on it." sells me the insurance. i don't own the house. >> stephen: aren't you, don't you have an incentive to become an arsonist? >> yes, you do. >> stephen: people did lose their homes, but the banks did not go out of business because we bailed them out and did not break them up. >> true. >> stephen: was that a bad idea? >> yes, yes. >> stephen: why? ( applause ) because i had bernanke on the show. i have had in that chair, i have had hillary clinton, ben bernanke. he said you had to save them, nothing to do, the whole house come a'tumbling down if you didn't. hillary clinton said it was a mistake. next time we can't bail them out and have to break them up. >> so, i think what they failed to appreciate, when they resuscitated these places and let them stay in business, that they would proceed then to not only get bigger, even bigger,

that's the amazing thing, but also to start to meddle in the process to reform them, and to sort of like throw their political thought into preventing any kind of change. so misreading the political consequences of letting them survive. so it would have made-- it would have been much easier to reform the system if the banks weren't there paying lobbyists, paying politicians to stop it from happening. >> stephen: is there something right now, i mean there must be something right now that a handful of people are shorting, but the rest of us just have no idea about, that is just waiting out there like a spider to catch us. >> i'm just a writer. i am not-- >> stephen: well, you used to do this, you used to do this. >> but i sucked at it. >> stephen: did you sell bad bonds? >> that's putting it a little too crudely. >> stephen: yes or no question, senator, yes or no question. >> yeah, absolutely. you are continually put in the position of having to sell stuff the bank wants to unload. so absolutely, absolutely. do you absolve me, can i go in the confessional? >> stephen: do you forgive him? >> we forgive you!

>> stephen: welcome back, everybody, thanks so much. now folks, i don't know what your weekend plans are. and don't say getting those shelves up in the garage because we both know that you're lying. but i'm going to go see "in the heart of the sea." it's a new blockbuster film about the 19th century ship, "the essex," which was attacked by a giant whale. and because it's a ron howard film, probably a giant mermaid. what's really interesting is that "in the heart of the sea" tells the true story that inspired herman melville to write "moby dick," which of course is widely considered to be the greatest american novel that does not involve da vinci codes. now i know it's possible that some of you may not have read "moby dick," no judgement. it's an 800-page novel that includes multiple chapters with the ancient art of scrimshaw-- isn't everybody's cup of ambergris.

it doesn't matter if you never picked it up or have read it and consider yourself a bit of a "moby dick"-head. this movie is the perfect time to brush up on an american classic. so hear to help us right now is professor of american studies at columbia university and renowned melville scholar andrew delbanco. is "moby dick" really based on a true story? >> yes, melville knew the story of "the essex." it was bad news, everybody at sea knew about that whales could get angry and sailors figured whales could think, this was the whale that turned on the ship that was trying to kill it. >> stephen: and this was a very popular story at the time? >> everybody knew about it, melville heard it first when he went to sea in 1841. >> stephen: okay, now what i really want, i would like you to be able to explain to my audience exactly why "moby dick"

is an american classic. it is a long book and i need to make this quick and exciting for our network tv audience. >> i got it. >> stephen: so what people want to know is you and i have already had this conversation on the nitro roller coaster at six flags great adventure with a 230 foot vertical drop. it is rated the third most terrifying roller coaster on earth. all right, andrew, andrew, jim, let's show everybody the lecture. so you were named great teacher by columbia university. >> that's true. >> stephen: okay. if you are such a great teacher, can you teach me "moby dick" in two minutes at four gs. >> i will give it a shot. >> stephen: all right, let's do this thing. so do you like roller coasters? >> i hate them, i'm terrified of them. >> stephen: okay, it's going to be great. you are going to love it. so-- i guess my first question

is, if "moby dick" is such a great move novel, why do people have to be forced to read it? >> they don't, i know people that read it voluntarily. >> stephen: are they teachers? >> no, just people that find it opens up their imagination. >> stephen: so why is this the great american novel? >> it was a crazy new country. we needed a crazy new novel. >> stephen: how old is it? >> about 155 years old. >> stephen: wow. >> it had to break all the rules of novel writing. just like america was doing. >> stephen: do you think americans have the patience for a 160 year old 800 page novel? and please tell the people who are watching people on the roller coaster. wait! let's see how well you know the book, on three, say the opening line with me. one, two, three. >> call me ishmael!! >> whooo! >> stephen: who is ishmael, why should i care? >> he's a wanderer, he doesn't know who he is, like the rest of us. >> stephen: so is he a metaphor
