In season 3 episode 6 of The Colbert Report, host Stephen Colbert welcomes conservative author and commentator Dinesh D'Souza to the show. The episode opens with Colbert discussing the recent controversy over a book written by D'Souza, which claims that President Obama is trying to dismantle America's power and influence in the world.

Colbert begins the interview by jokingly accusing D'Souza of being a "professional Obama hater," to which D'Souza responds by saying that he is simply a "critic" of the president's policies and actions. The two men engage in a lively debate about Obama's foreign policy, with Colbert challenging D'Souza on his arguments and pointing out flaws in his reasoning.

D'Souza defends his position by arguing that Obama's policies have weakened America's standing in the world and emboldened our enemies, while Colbert counters that the president has actually made progress on several major issues like Iran's nuclear program and the conflict in Syria.

The conversation then turns to D'Souza's personal background and his journey from India to the United States. D'Souza talks about his love for America and his belief that it is the greatest country in the world, despite its flaws.
