I was wondering what happened to Jon Batiste and looked it up. His wife is sick and he's taking care of her. Best wishes and health to him and his family.
I always wonder why no one dwells on the fact these people call us anti fascist like it’s a bad thing and that could only mean they want fascism, right?
Not only should he be charged with insurrection, but he also should be charged with five counts of "felony murder." Five people died during the insurrection that he was directly responsible for initiating. Felony Murder: "The felony murder rule is a rule that allows a defendant to be charged with first-degree murder for a killing that occurs during a dangerous felony, even if the defendant is not the killer." [Justia] Under 18 U.S. Code § 1111. "Whoever is guilty of murder in the first degree shall be punished by death or by imprisonment for life[.]" Lock him up!
@@michelleflora2957 The crimes for which he is prosecuted will be determined by the U. S. District Attorney for Washington, D. C., Matthew M. Graves. Additionally, various state district attorneys, Georgia, New York, et al., are investigating what state crimes he can and will be charged with on the state level, if at all. Let's hope for the best.
@@DrWoodyII "If at all" is the most important yet troubling part of that because we all know nobody among the ruling class is ever punished in the same way, as the rest of the masses, for the crimes they commit. They called it Trump's dereliction of duty but he didn't avoid impeachment alone: his party's leaders spoke the truth at first then flip flopped for political reasons, at best & now defend him while his movement continues to grow with like-minded puppets running or even winning elections & his party continues to place election puppets in key positions up & down the ballot, or otherwise rig the election process so future elections are far more likely to go their way, whether they have the vote majority or not. I highly doubt Trump or any of his highest-level minions will ever have to be held criminally responsible for the damage they've caused, likely branded the same way as Obama declined to investigate GWB's corruption, war crimes & such: for the sovereign stability of this nation. Now, after decades of wars based on his lies & thousands dead, with millions suffering, GWB is retired as a pampered king. Trump will be treated the same.
Exactly. Then there are the 800,000 (I give him a pass on the first 200,000) Americans who died of covid due to Ttump's inaction. Think about that - in about one year, his actions and INaction directly resulted in the deaths of nearly 1 million Americans. That is ALOT of blood on his tiny hands.
I can say this with all honesty, I've worked as a tour guide and I've never once felt the need to run from the tourists. Hawley is a traitor and I hope that lawsuit looking to bar him, and Marjorie go through.
I do not want to be disrespectful and I understand that you are putting a serious meaning to your words, but the way you have written it has made me smile for a moment, and I must say that I agree with your comment 100%: Hawley is a traitor.
While I was watching the hearing I was brought to tears. As as former soldier of the United States Army and Desert Storm Veteran who proudly and honorably served this country and gave my oath to defend against all enemies be they foriegn or domestic was heartbroken. To witness trump so blatantly and with no regard to the safety and wellbeing of not just the members of Congress or their staff, not just the men and women of law enforcement who gave they oaths to protect, but the American people who supported him, attempted to overthrow the government. An act I have witnessed happen in other countries in the Middle East, parts of Europe, and in Central and South America. But never in my wildest imagination thought an attempt coup would ever happen in the U S.A. We were supposed to be the country that the world looked too as an example how a democracy should be. My thoughts went to the men and women who I served with, and all the men and women who came before me like my father (GOD REST HIS SOUL) who served 42 years with tour to Vietnam, South America and the Middle East. And it brought me to tear to watch trump shit on all of us who proudly served and defended our great nation. And the pain of what trump attempted to do was amplified by the fact that thousands of Americans blindly followed trump to commit criminal acts and have the nerve, the audacity to call themselves patriots. There was absolutely nothing patriotic in their violent attempt to take over Congress, threatening to kill members of Congress, and openly express their desire to hang the Vice President of the United States of America. They disrespected every single American who has served this country. The actions taken by trump and those that blindly followed this lead have now and forever put a horrible stain on the United States of America. These actions have embarrassed me, and every single American. The saddest, most disturbing part is the fact that there are still many Americans who support trump even with the Mt. Everest of evidence to his guilt there are still Americans who are willing to obediently, and without questioning, fall in line and believe anything and everything trump says. It honestly boggles the mind that a single person would still be willing to support and blindly obey trump, even if it means they must commit crimes against America and the American people. The damage trump and his followers have done and continue to do to American is tearing this country apart. Even though his followers have severely declined, there are still enough to continue to harm The U.S.A. It should bring every single American to tears. May GOD BLESS America and the American people and everyone the world over. I always pray for peace but prepare for the worst. Stay safe and stay healthy.
I think a lot of them have come to regret their actions that day. They let Trump take over their common sense and will regret it the rest of their lives. Maybe not all of them but some that have seen Trump turns his back on them like he does with everyone after he is through with them.
Your words provide me hope that despite the nasty permanent stain, The US will redirect, reunite and show its strength as a democratic nation with free people - we need your moral support in Europe!
The brainwashed mind of his cult through right-wing media manipulation (at best) is one thing, but the continued support & defense by his party is another. Trump will likely never face criminal responsibility for the damage he's done, including weaken us in the eyes of our enemies as they discussed in the hearing, much in the same way GWB will never face criminal responsibility for his war-crimes like the lies used to invade Iraq or Afghanistan, costing thousands of military lives with millions more still suffering. In America, the commander isn't punished for the orders they give, only the soldier is punished for following them.
I hate to tell you this but your system of democracy is shit. Some problems aside I just wanna point out the difference in the value of ones vote. It differs from state to state. Also in some cases it really isn't a democracy anymore when voting districts get manipulated so that the minority wins over the majority. I'll try to link a video that explains much of it but it is in german. Maybe the graphics are at least understandable.
Thank you for using your platform to serve the Greater Good.... the events that unfolded at the Capital on January 6 should shock and horrify every American who holds the promise of Life Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness dear. The promise of freedom is too precious to be destroyed by this treasonous man...too many heroes have laid down their lives to allow one man's ambition to tear it all apart
What are you talking about.... the topic is the overthrowing of the American Democracy.... the attack on roe vs Wade is being led by that same maga crowd... are you even paying attention to what is playing out in America or are you just blindly and ignorantly listening to Fox
@@annalieff-saxby568 like all of the leftist riots that have now totaled over 5 billion in property damage, eliminated thousands of jobs from businesses that refuse to rebuild in a land where the DA sides with the criminals every single time. theft and looting is perfectly fine now because you know racism.
Hopefully a GOP committee will find out all the parties responsible for making sure this protest was turned into a riot that had people trespassing into the capitol the key entities are definitely in the Congress and Senate of course FBI DOJ capitol police city mayor I wonder how many individuals in these administrations are privy and involved with the whole operation I imagine to many to forever keep quiet been quite a few suicides already and I wonder why video inside of the capitol showing why Ashley was killed has not been released it's going to get very ugly in America soon I pray we will still have a cou try when the smoke clears
the fact that he called the mob "my people" tells us all we need to know. The righteous reps who "protect family values" but continue to double down on lies and refuse to testify
Twice impeached Trump was the worst US president in history for many reasons. #1) Trump committed an act of treason against the US by inciting a violent insurrection on January 6, 2021. #2) Trump’s incompetence regarding his management of the US response to the Covid-19 pandemic between January 2020 and July of 2020. Thousands of US citizens died as a result Trump’s failure. If Trump had a proper immediate response to the pandemic the way that the South Korean government did, then thousands of US citizens who died would still be alive today. #3) In April of 2019 Trump vetoed the resolution to end US military support of Saudi Arabia's GENOCIDE of thousands of innocent civilians in Yemen! Trump was using the US military to support GENOCIDE in Yemen! #4) Trump violated the Emoluments Clause of the US Constitution for his entire 4 years in office, then in 2019 Trump verbally mocked the US Constitution. The foundation of the USA is the US Constitution, that is why the presidential inaugural oath includes to swear to protect and defend the US Constitution. In January 2017 Trump publicly swore an oath on a bible at his inauguration ceremony to protect and defend the US Constitution. In 2019 Trump mocked the US Constitution by publicly saying the words "phony emoluments clause". #5) Trump misogynistically and adulterously said of women: "Grab them by the pussy."! Trump committed adultery with Stormy Daniels and then tried to cover it up. Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, was in prison for crimes related to Trump's cover-up of his adulterous scandal with Stormy Daniels. Most Republicans claim to be the moral party and/or the majority Christian party, but hypocritically enthusiastically want to give an adulterous Donald Trump, another 4 years in office. If a US president who was a member of the Democratic Party did the terrible things Trump has, of course, the Republican Party leaders would be screaming for his removal from office. #6) Trump committed the crime of obstruction of justice. #7) Trump committed crimes of trying to tamper with elections, especially in Georgia. #8) Trump's attempted abuse of power regarding Ukraine. #9) Trump committed tax fraud in New York State, which is partly why Trump hides his tax returns. #10) Trump practiced corrupt nepotism as he appointed unqualified members of his family into positions of power in the executive branch of government. #11) Trump illegally destroyed documents and illegally took documents with him after he left the office of president. There are many other horrible things about Trump. Here are some of them: Donald Trump is a dumb corrupt businessman which is why he hides his tax returns. Donald Trump is not a self-made man, he benefited from nepotism. His daddy Fred Trump gave him millions of dollars to start businesses many of which have failed! Donald Trump's failed businesses are many but include: Trump Airlines, a Trump Casino, and Trump University. With his failed Trump University, he defrauded hundreds of students. In Trump's many construction projects he failed to pay some of his contractors. Trump committed fraud with his non-profit in New York State which is why Trump recently transferred his residence to Florida. Donald Trump is too stupid to write his own book which why he hired a ghost writer to write "The Art of the Deal". When Trump was in high school, he hired another boy to take his SAT college entrance exam. Trump claims that he is smart, but he refuses to show us his college transcripts. Donald Trump's daddy bribed a physician to write that Donald Trump had bone spurs and therefore could dodge the Vietnam War draft. Donald Trump and his dad also practiced racism in who they would rent properties to in the 1960s and 1970s. That is just scratching the surface of the long list of horrible things about Donald Trump.
God any mob I ever saw attack a government building around the world, was squashed by law enforcement, except this time !! Dereliction of duty. Love from Ireland 💚
They weren't about to stop that mob and I think they knew it and took the best course available. The worst case scenario. All the police force are either wounded and killed, a thousand rioters either killed or injured, the vice president and speaker of the house, and maybe more, hung by a mob. By taking the course of action they did I think they kept it to a minimum of violence. They were lucky and so were the representatives that they made it out alive. All the while Trump sits and watches with glee. Even if that were the outcome, I still have faith in America, don't ask me why?
For the Irish and everyone else who don't seem to know this, Congress is in a federal district. The law enforcement situation is unusual. If the President and Vice President do not ask the military to help, the police are very shortly overwhelmed. It wasn't dereliction of duty, an unconscionable slur against those who stood and fought, were wounded and died. No love from an Irish hypocrite, it seems, only attacks against good people doing their best. Unlike in Ireland, there is no history in the US of such an event. New legislation is being put into place in case this ever happens again.
Anybody else getting the sense he's a real Bobby Kennedy? Feeling's getting stronger every day. That speech should go down the ages, like Atticus Finch's speech in To Kill A Mockingbird
We Dems have our shortcomings, but we do expect people to be held to account for their actions. That is far more valuable in a democracy than having an unshakable loyalty to a demagogue.
democrats care about people and issues in which they are not directly involved. republicans dont care abiout anyone or anything unless they or someone they know is directly involved. that's from a survey of 200,000 people. another large survey shows that fox news viewers are less well informed than folks that get no news at all. perfect for grifters and they are reaping a bountiful harvest. rand paul attacks fauci so he paul can bank selling fauci t shirts. where's the GQP replacement for the affordable care act. the GQP has no platform they just attack the left thats what hitler did .thats why they are not fascists they are nazis.
I respect Adam Kinzinger so much!!! I wish he would run for re-election. We need more people like that in Congress, especially the Senate. Liz Cheney & Mitt Romney as well for having the courage to actually stand against the Trumpists hijacking their party. Integrity seems to be a rare thing these days.
@ Allaiya LOL .. you respect these two pathetic RHINOs? The only things Kinzinger and Cheny are good at is showboating. This hearing is a joke. Put aside whatever you think Trump did, didn't do, could do or would have done, not a one of these morons know anything about the Constitution which they so vehemently claim to be defending because according to the US Constitution, congress does not have any legality holding a so-called criminal trial that this is purported to be. It's so blatantly obvious that all these so-called Republican Trump confidents that are now testifying as to what he did or knows ( based purely on innuendo and hear say), are just trying to salvage what little political careers they have so they think by distancing themselves, it's OK. So where are ALL the witnesses for the accused in his defense ... No where .. know why, because this moronic show trial has not proven a single thing thus far and it's just another failed attempt by the democratic party to curry favor in the med-term elections. Everything else they tried failed .. Phony Russian collusion claim, white supremacy claims, homophobic claims, two failed treaon based impeachments. Keep on believing in political party that does nothing to bring down the cost of energy because they don't want to. All they want is to push the Green initiative and force you to buy a friggin electric car ... laughable
Signs or true character. More important than $ or power. Signs of Honesty courage, no stealing or greed. Inner qualities - who u are, these r good signs
Waited all afternoon in Australia for this one. Some great material from the hearings was anticipated. Edit: Just saw the Josh Hawley skedaddle. Totally worth the wait. 🤣🤣🤣
Nothing of behaviour by peaceful people who support Trump was "criminal" especially the majority who simply walked inside and got in no contact. For a select few it was the opposite. It was a democratic protest by the people who decided themselves to go there alone without any guidance to do that. Hawley did nothing wrong. Neither did Trump who said he would go to the Capital and beg his Republican allies to reject the results because of fraud. he never told people to go inside there too. Just metaphorically to fight in protest against the "fraudulent" election results
Stephen Colbert is such a partisan tool and a sellout. Has he said even one word about the extensive rioting. looting, burning, and killing by BLM and ANTIFA which took place in city after city one summer at the cost of 2 billion dollars? You want to talk about an "insurrection?" The left not only excused those violent rioters, they were even encouraged and supported by Democrats and dishonest and slimy media types like Stephen Colbert. His hypocrisy and blatant double standards make me sick!
@@adeleacheson716 And yet, here you are... 🤡🤡 Do you often post on comment boards that no one is looking at? That's kinda weird.. Also a terrible way to get your opinion out there
Stephen Colbert is THE MAN !! I didn't get to watch this live after I watched the hearing, but that's probably a good thing coz I'd have waked up my REPUB husband ROFL Stephen, you helped me keep my sanity and get thru the 4 wretched years of that mess-administration, and I will always love you.
I didn't think this would ever have gotten this far. I was cynical, but I'm sure I'm not alone in that cynicism. You did good today, America. Get the truth ALLLL the way out.
The truth will come out as soon as we take back the House this November. And when we take back the White House in 2024, the democrats will finally be prosecuted for their many crimes. Joe Biden will probably be dead by then but Hunter and that dumb ass brother of Joe's will get long prison terms. Do you not care that this is a true kangaroo court? The democrats will not allow the republicans to call witnesses or even have a real conservative on the commitee. We, the American people are not even allowed to see the video footage of January 6, why do you think that is? Who is this Epps guy and why is he not in Jail? How many federal agents were involved and pretending to be Trump supporters and why are they hiding this info? Why did the cop kill Ashley Abbott and why can't we question him? How many times are you going to hear that 5 cops died when you know damn good and well that zero cops died on Jan. 6th. And please, suicides do not count. Why are you such a sheeple? I despise being lied to by my elected officials but liberals seem to like it; why??? Do you really want the truth "ALLLL the way out" because you seem like one who CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH.
Thank heavens Pres. Biden speaks to us from a sane looking place, not riding round and round a hospital grounds contaminating his unfortunate Secret Service.
Sane, but senile. He is not fit for the job. At this time in our history, we need someone much sharper. Biden ain't getting squat done. I wish he would step down. I'm a Dem, but I can't stand having a milk toast Dem president.
@@PaddleAsia please show some respect for senior. I wish I have his energy level when I am at his age. Had you see his working schedule and all the challenging situation US and the world is in?
It’s because of him that the objection debate didn’t die in the House. McConnell said the election was over. No Senators were going to object, until Hawley said he planned to. Of course, Cruz couldn’t be out- brown nosed (or orange nosed?). Other Republicans couldn’t let the universally despised Cruz upstage them & it was downhill, from there. Romney was the Senator who had the close encounter with the mob, because he’d been in his office or something. When the Senate reconvened, he blamed Hawley & 45 for what happened.
Just wait till the the shoe is on the other foot. No mercy and I can’t wait to see US destroy them and their entire bloodlines. You have no idea how pissed we are and how far we truly will take this. 😘
This guy has been ditching accountability his whole life, running under the radar while still being public. Just watch, some how, he is gonna get out of this one.....including by dying or forging his death lol
You can bet your soul that if a republican accuses someone of something, they themselves are actually doing it. We have seen this so many times I won't bother to count.
As someone that moved from America to the UK last November, the wait until this morning to watch Stephen perform, entertain and enlighten us (again💙) was tough but oh! so worth it! Lock Him(J.F.K.F.C.) Up! 🙏 The WORLD is watching! (It's on our news every day!)
What’s to admire about the US is that it’s all out in the open; in the UK it’s cloak & dagger. The nasty party continues to defy any accountability (Kwateng & Patel failing to show up at hearings without proper reason; breaking the law bears no consequence for leadership of the ruling party, a debate for leadership gets cancelled because of damage-limitation). The Electoral College is not the worst system in the world.
The electoral college is the worst idea. But soon it won't matter, females won't be able vote or refuse consent and they won't be permitted to live if they stop breeding.
Whereabouts in the UK? I can’t even move states, let alone countries, being disabled on Social Security. Looked at Scotland-very strict on visas. Iceland? You have to be proficient in Icelandic. (DNA from both places.) Every country I looked at emphasizes employability. Someone suggested Costa Rica, has relatives that moved there.

I fight with my voice when I can, but, living in Alabama, it may come to a physical fight. The mayor (who won re-election by campaigning "Let's Keep Our City Republican") pretty much started dismantling our little public library soon after the election. Our library is in a former dry goods store. The director quit after his harassment, and then he fired the children's librarian for no cause that we could find. Last city council, I carried a handmade sign that says "I vote for people who support libraries." There are others more vocal, and we're beginning to make a dent. Oh, on why he doesn't like the library--he wanted a big athletic complex instead of building a new city hall/library complex like our neighbor town, and people voted it down.

That short clip of Josh running from the rioters is what he will forever be remembered for, like, that is now his identity, that's his legacy! He had no problem supporting them and provoking them from a safe distance, but as soon as it started getting bad he ran, and the ones who didn't provoke or instigate the crowd stayed and faced off against the angry mob. The real heroes chose to stay put and defend the Capital and some of them even died for it. People like Cassidy Hutchinson, Caroline Edwards and Sarah Matthews knew they'd face backlash and controversy from testifying at the J6 hearings, but they all chose to do what was right and they deserve much respect for it!
They deserve a minuscule modicum of respect. They worked for his in his administration for years. They saw every day what he was capable of - and you can bet they’d still be working for him if he hadn’t sent the Pence tweet or had called the rioters off sooner. That’s what it took for some of them to finally say - I no longer wish to be associated to this administration. That’s how low their bar is.
Adam Kizinger's closing statement was powerful and there's no one that can argue or disagree against his words. The world needs to move on from Trump. Republicans need people like Kizinger or Cheney in their party to show that there's still good respectable ones in their party. They are working hard to right the wrong that was Trump. I applaud their hard work and I feel for the hard road they've laid out for themselves because they truly are trying to defend our democracy. They're not traitors, they're just doing their jobs legally and responsibly as they were appointed to do so; by the people, for the people.

But Kinzinger doesn't represent anybody. He isn't even running again. He is yours now, you elect him to something so he has real qualification to be on your committee. But you will throw hin and Cheney away as soon as they leave congress in January.

The entire nation on both sides of the aisle should be "traumatized" by January 6th & that despicable display incited & continually encouraged by that UN-AMERICAN seditious conspiracist, Cheeto-Twitler & his band of merry morons (AKA 99% of the Rejectlican Party in BOTH the House & the Senate) who continue to fall in line behind that monster, despite the overwhelming evidence proving beyond a shadow of a doubt 45's calculated actions and equally despicable inaction on that horrific day. Abraham Lincoln is turning over in his grave 😢💔
interesting comparison, because it could be strongly argued that that attack was the result of GWB's dereliction of duty, at best, since he then used that attack, which was funded by a Bush family friend & carried out by a bunch of Saudis, to declare his freedom-robbing 'war on terror', which he then used to invade two middle eastern nations based on his own political lies, resulting in the loss of thousands of military lives. In another similarity, neither will likely ever face criminal responsibility for their crimes against this nation.
Not just the next election...in EVERY SINGLE ELECTION, and in EVERY ELECTION AT THE LOCAL AND STATE LEVELS. These opportunistic fascists don't just pop up out of nowhere to run for Federal elections.
@@a.larson2777 See now this is the problem. You get people saying which way to vote. I'll be honest here democrats aren't heroes either, inaction comes as easily to a Democrat as it does to a Republican. We need to stop this whole 2 party bull we do in this nation. It hasn't done us any favors, maybe a solution could exist in any spectrum. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, by all accounts he was a great leader. We could find a great president on either side of the fence so to speak. It should be less about political affiliation and more about what the candidate plans to do.

He didn't act for 187 minutes, while he was trying to pull a 187. How ironic, if you wrote this as fiction no one would buy it. This would be too unbelievable.
While the many were conspiring to commit 187 on probably more than 187 it's just crazy that the protesters wernt the crazed maniacs they were instigating them to be a terrible miscalculation but it's still having it's effect just not as good as they hope for
Stephen, I have been a fan of yours for a long time. Your intellect, timing, and talent are outstanding. However, it is your passion for this country is humbling and inspiring. Thank you and all of the team for your dedication to giving us the best show possible each night.
Watching the injured capitol police testify disturbed me so much. The video of them trying to hold back the mob. Their injury, surgery, physical healing that is still not complete. They stood and protected despite their lives being at risk. They did their job. They are true heroes. The traitors in the FBI and CIA should be put on trial and sent to prison, as should Trump, Gaetz, Greene, Hawley and others who supported this attempted coup of our government.
Really broke my heart, too. Almost brought me to tears even though they are not usually a group of people I'm enamored of. Still they should have never been put in that position. A sad day for this country. Smh...
@@peachesb-georgia1125 And then u think about u-kno-who sitting in his dinner room at the tv watching the coverage laughing up his sleeve as the republic is under direct threat and it breaks ur heart even more.
The Possibility you were educated, before the biggest annual budget cuts in education, brought to you by the Republican, current true, idol RWR, who’s aliases includes #40. I was, before Canadian politicians emulated his Elitist ideas , still brought to your citizens by your GOP, and infiltrators from the Left. I reside in the republican Province of Alberta, sadly I recognize a trend.
One important detail to keep in mind when listening to the Secret Service agents telling their families that they might be coming home, is that these agents are not students hiding under desks or shopper locking themselves in a cooler to protect themselves. They ARE ARMED with assorted firearms and TRAINED in the use of those weapons and in the application of deadly force. Think about that for a moment. They have the means to protect themselves and their charge, the vice president along with his family, and they are gravely concerned about all of them getting out alive.
Officers safety is paramount. We have never lost an officer during a school shooting or an insurrection and we don't plan to start now. The most important thing a police officer can do is come home unharmed. We didn't lose a single officer during the Uvalde school shooting and that shooter had an assualt weapon. Sure we had to wait for the proper gear but we didn't mind. All that Dirty Harry crap isn't reality, coming home safely is. If you want a hero, you go in thewre and get shot, I'm not going to do it. Officers safety is paramount, period.
@@ellisjk1409 If you are in law enforcement currently, you need to find another profession. The lives of those that do not have the means to protect themselves from a violent attack such as the school shootings at Uvalde ARE WHAT IS PARAMONT! The officers there were also armed with AR's AND were in numbers far greater than the ONE SHOOTER. They also have had response training supposedly in these types of crisis situations. The lack of initiative, courage, intestinal fortitude and intelligence to quickly formulate a plan of attack is despicable and totally unacceptable. I was enraged when I saw them standing around with their heads up their asses as innocent children and teachers were being murdered within a short distance away. Yes, coming home after the shift is over is a priority, but it is below that of doing what you signed on for and that is to protect the community in your charge. If you cannot overcome your fears to do the right thing, then hang it up. You are a danger to yourself and others.
The cartoon sound effect when Josh Hawley was scampering just about did me in. How did they come up with these jokes so fast when the hearing ended right before the show began?
There actually might be a reason for Trump having a little problem with a few simple words. The midnight hospital run for alleged colonoscopy? Next 2 press conferences using left hand to help his shaking,weak RIGHT hand get a glass of water to his mouth. Slower speech.Had help walking down that incline. Then was rarely heard from for a couple or three weeks. I discussed this with 3 neurologists and they said that there was a very high chance (80% chance), that Trump had a medium level stroke. Exact same symptoms when I had mine. Slow unsteady walking due numbness on right side.
brother I'm in South Africa, we have reptiles in power too. so we changed the law. we don't fill our prisons. we shoot them dead then and there. we are a very diverse peace loving people who have been given the wrong end of the sh!t stick for hundreds of years. so here you are free to be you (does not matter who you are) but if you make sh!t, double tap and we grow tomatoes on their unmarked graves (at least then they will be good for the soil) 1. catch him the act, if not it's the courts problem (don't let him infect you with his evil, hand him to the cops if you not certain) 2. confront him with his deed by clear evidence. 3. ask any witnesses if they are complicit or to leave. 4. and if he shows no remorse nor seeks mercy, then call on Allah(s.w.t) for forgiveness and slit his throat. be quick be firm do not let him suffer, that's not your job but Allah(s.w.t) 5. call the cops to come clean up 6. go have a coffee there are creatures pretending to be human. you will know them by their character and their deeds. keep your people safe brother.
I was wondering what happened to Jon Batiste and looked it up. His wife is sick and he's taking care of her. Best wishes and health to him and his family.
I always wonder why no one dwells on the fact these people call us anti fascist like it’s a bad thing and that could only mean they want fascism, right?
That goes for every pro Trump pro Putin American. They want fascism.
I used to, but then i realised that trumpists don't understand that words have meanings.
exactly, I wonder why the media never asks these people if they even know what antifa means.
@Kim B they did, the right just didn't care.
How dare you use simple Logic?!
Not only should he be charged with insurrection, but he also should be charged with five counts of "felony murder." Five people died during the insurrection that he was directly responsible for initiating. Felony Murder: "The felony murder rule is a rule that allows a defendant to be charged with first-degree murder for a killing that occurs during a dangerous felony, even if the defendant is not the killer." [Justia] Under 18 U.S. Code § 1111. "Whoever is guilty of murder in the first degree shall be punished by death or by imprisonment for life[.]" Lock him up!
Ohmygosh I LOVE this tactic!!!! @DrDread are you a lawyer ? Can you make this happen????
@@michelleflora2957 The crimes for which he is prosecuted will be determined by the U. S. District Attorney for Washington, D. C., Matthew M. Graves. Additionally, various state district attorneys, Georgia, New York, et al., are investigating what state crimes he can and will be charged with on the state level, if at all. Let's hope for the best.
@@DrWoodyII "If at all" is the most important yet troubling part of that because we all know nobody among the ruling class is ever punished in the same way, as the rest of the masses, for the crimes they commit. They called it Trump's dereliction of duty but he didn't avoid impeachment alone: his party's leaders spoke the truth at first then flip flopped for political reasons, at best & now defend him while his movement continues to grow with like-minded puppets running or even winning elections & his party continues to place election puppets in key positions up & down the ballot, or otherwise rig the election process so future elections are far more likely to go their way, whether they have the vote majority or not. I highly doubt Trump or any of his highest-level minions will ever have to be held criminally responsible for the damage they've caused, likely branded the same way as Obama declined to investigate GWB's corruption, war crimes & such: for the sovereign stability of this nation. Now, after decades of wars based on his lies & thousands dead, with millions suffering, GWB is retired as a pampered king. Trump will be treated the same.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Exactly. Then there are the 800,000 (I give him a pass on the first 200,000) Americans who died of covid due to Ttump's inaction. Think about that - in about one year, his actions and INaction directly resulted in the deaths of nearly 1 million Americans. That is ALOT of blood on his tiny hands.
I can say this with all honesty, I've worked as a tour guide and I've never once felt the need to run from the tourists. Hawley is a traitor and I hope that lawsuit looking to bar him, and Marjorie go through.
I do not want to be disrespectful and I understand that you are putting a serious meaning to your words, but the way you have written it has made me smile for a moment, and I must say that I agree with your comment 100%: Hawley is a traitor.
While I was watching the hearing I was brought to tears. As as former soldier of the United States Army and Desert Storm Veteran who proudly and honorably served this country and gave my oath to defend against all enemies be they foriegn or domestic was heartbroken. To witness trump so blatantly and with no regard to the safety and wellbeing of not just the members of Congress or their staff, not just the men and women of law enforcement who gave they oaths to protect, but the American people who supported him, attempted to overthrow the government. An act I have witnessed happen in other countries in the Middle East, parts of Europe, and in Central and South America. But never in my wildest imagination thought an attempt coup would ever happen in the U S.A. We were supposed to be the country that the world looked too as an example how a democracy should be. My thoughts went to the men and women who I served with, and all the men and women who came before me like my father (GOD REST HIS SOUL) who served 42 years with tour to Vietnam, South America and the Middle East. And it brought me to tear to watch trump shit on all of us who proudly served and defended our great nation. And the pain of what trump attempted to do was amplified by the fact that thousands of Americans blindly followed trump to commit criminal acts and have the nerve, the audacity to call themselves patriots. There was absolutely nothing patriotic in their violent attempt to take over Congress, threatening to kill members of Congress, and openly express their desire to hang the Vice President of the United States of America. They disrespected every single American who has served this country. The actions taken by trump and those that blindly followed this lead have now and forever put a horrible stain on the United States of America. These actions have embarrassed me, and every single American. The saddest, most disturbing part is the fact that there are still many Americans who support trump even with the Mt. Everest of evidence to his guilt there are still Americans who are willing to obediently, and without questioning, fall in line and believe anything and everything trump says. It honestly boggles the mind that a single person would still be willing to support and blindly obey trump, even if it means they must commit crimes against America and the American people. The damage trump and his followers have done and continue to do to American is tearing this country apart. Even though his followers have severely declined, there are still enough to continue to harm The U.S.A. It should bring every single American to tears.
May GOD BLESS America and the American people and everyone the world over. I always pray for peace but prepare for the worst. Stay safe and stay healthy.
I think a lot of them have come to regret their actions that day. They let Trump take over their common sense and will regret it the rest of their lives. Maybe not all of them but some that have seen Trump turns his back on them like he does with everyone after he is through with them.
Your words provide me hope that despite the nasty permanent stain, The US will redirect, reunite and show its strength as a democratic nation with free people - we need your moral support in Europe!
The brainwashed mind of his cult through right-wing media manipulation (at best) is one thing, but the continued support & defense by his party is another. Trump will likely never face criminal responsibility for the damage he's done, including weaken us in the eyes of our enemies as they discussed in the hearing, much in the same way GWB will never face criminal responsibility for his war-crimes like the lies used to invade Iraq or Afghanistan, costing thousands of military lives with millions more still suffering. In America, the commander isn't punished for the orders they give, only the soldier is punished for following them.

I hate to tell you this but your system of democracy is shit. Some problems aside I just wanna point out the difference in the value of ones vote. It differs from state to state.
Also in some cases it really isn't a democracy anymore when voting districts get manipulated so that the minority wins over the majority.
I'll try to link a video that explains much of it but it is in german. Maybe the graphics are at least understandable.
Thank you for using your platform to serve the Greater Good.... the events that unfolded at the Capital on January 6 should shock and horrify every American who holds the promise of Life Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness dear. The promise of freedom is too precious to be destroyed by this treasonous man...too many heroes have laid down their lives to allow one man's ambition to tear it all apart

the fact that he called the mob "my people" tells us all we need to know. The righteous reps who "protect family values" but continue to double down on lies and refuse to testify
Twice impeached Trump was the worst US president in history for many reasons.
#1) Trump committed an act of treason against the US by inciting a violent insurrection on January 6, 2021.
#2) Trump’s incompetence regarding his management of the US response to the Covid-19 pandemic between January 2020 and July of 2020. Thousands of US citizens died as a result Trump’s failure. If Trump had a proper immediate response to the pandemic the way that the South Korean government did, then thousands of US citizens who died would still be alive today.
#3) In April of 2019 Trump vetoed the resolution to end US military support of Saudi Arabia's GENOCIDE of thousands of innocent civilians in Yemen! Trump was using the US military to support GENOCIDE in Yemen!
#4) Trump violated the Emoluments Clause of the US Constitution for his entire 4 years in office, then in 2019 Trump verbally mocked the US Constitution. The foundation of the USA is the US Constitution, that is why the presidential inaugural oath includes to swear to protect and defend the US Constitution. In January 2017 Trump publicly swore an oath on a bible at his inauguration ceremony to protect and defend the US Constitution. In 2019 Trump mocked the US Constitution by publicly saying the words "phony emoluments clause".
#5) Trump misogynistically and adulterously said of women: "Grab them by the pussy."! Trump committed adultery with Stormy Daniels and then tried to cover it up. Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, was in prison for crimes related to Trump's cover-up of his adulterous scandal with Stormy Daniels. Most Republicans claim to be the moral party and/or the majority Christian party, but hypocritically enthusiastically want to give an adulterous Donald Trump, another 4 years in office. If a US president who was a member of the Democratic Party did the terrible things Trump has, of course, the Republican Party leaders would be screaming for his removal from office.
#6) Trump committed the crime of obstruction of justice.
#7) Trump committed crimes of trying to tamper with elections, especially in Georgia.
#8) Trump's attempted abuse of power regarding Ukraine.
#9) Trump committed tax fraud in New York State, which is partly why Trump hides his tax returns.
#10) Trump practiced corrupt nepotism as he appointed unqualified members of his family into positions of power in the executive branch of government.
#11) Trump illegally destroyed documents and illegally took documents with him after he left the office of president.
There are many other horrible things about Trump. Here are some of them: Donald Trump is a dumb corrupt businessman which is why he hides his tax returns. Donald Trump is not a self-made man, he benefited from nepotism. His daddy Fred Trump gave him millions of dollars to start businesses many of which have failed! Donald Trump's failed businesses are many but include: Trump Airlines, a Trump Casino, and Trump University. With his failed Trump University, he defrauded hundreds of students. In Trump's many construction projects he failed to pay some of his contractors. Trump committed fraud with his non-profit in New York State which is why Trump recently transferred his residence to Florida. Donald Trump is too stupid to write his own book which why he hired a ghost writer to write "The Art of the Deal". When Trump was in high school, he hired another boy to take his SAT college entrance exam. Trump claims that he is smart, but he refuses to show us his college transcripts. Donald Trump's daddy bribed a physician to write that Donald Trump had bone spurs and therefore could dodge the Vietnam War draft. Donald Trump and his dad also practiced racism in who they would rent properties to in the 1960s and 1970s. That is just scratching the surface of the long list of horrible things about Donald Trump.
He actually said these "aren't" my people. Still doesn't make him any less of a disgrace though
@@harryhuang1999 He told them that he loved them.

A view from Canada. Excellent monologue Stephen. It put everything in to perspective.
God any mob I ever saw attack a government building around the world, was squashed by law enforcement, except this time !! Dereliction of duty. Love from Ireland 💚
They weren't about to stop that mob and I think they knew it and took the best course available. The worst case scenario. All the police force are either wounded and killed, a thousand rioters either killed or injured, the vice president and speaker of the house, and maybe more, hung by a mob. By taking the course of action they did I think they
kept it to a minimum of violence. They were lucky and so were the representatives that
they made it out alive. All the while Trump sits and watches with glee. Even if that were the outcome, I still have faith in America, don't ask me why?
sir lanky
Kinda like the lame air force on 911. Similar to the Emperors New Clothes... people won't admit what they can actually see.
There is some evidence Trump intervened to make sure they were not protected.
For the Irish and everyone else who don't seem to know this, Congress is in a federal district. The law enforcement situation is unusual. If the President and Vice President do not ask the military to help, the police are very shortly overwhelmed. It wasn't dereliction of duty, an unconscionable slur against those who stood and fought, were wounded and died. No love from an Irish hypocrite, it seems, only attacks against good people doing their best. Unlike in Ireland, there is no history in the US of such an event. New legislation is being put into place in case this ever happens again.

Put aside whatever you think Trump did, didn't do, could do or would have done, not a one of these morons know anything about the Constitution which they so vehemently claim to be defending because according to the US Constitution, congress does not have any legality holding a so-called criminal trial that this is purported to be. It's so blatantly obvious that all these so-called Republican Trump confidents that are now testifying as to what he did or knows ( based purely on innuendo and hear say), are just trying to salvage what little political careers they have so they think by distancing themselves, it's OK. So where are ALL the witnesses for the accused in his defense ... No where .. know why, because this moronic show trial has not proven a single thing thus far and it's just another failed attempt by the democratic party to curry favor in the med-term elections. Everything else they tried failed .. Phony Russian collusion claim, white supremacy claims, homophobic claims, two failed treaon based impeachments.

Exactly what was needed to breakdown this absolutely criminal behavior
Nothing of behaviour by peaceful people who support Trump was "criminal" especially the majority who simply walked inside and got in no contact. For a select few it was the opposite. It was a democratic protest by the people who decided themselves to go there alone without any guidance to do that. Hawley did nothing wrong. Neither did Trump who said he would go to the Capital and beg his Republican allies to reject the results because of fraud. he never told people to go inside there too. Just metaphorically to fight in protest against the "fraudulent" election results

It felt like the Hawley sequence was personal for the committee and I'm here for it.
It’s because of him that the objection debate didn’t die in the House. McConnell said the election was over. No Senators were going to object, until Hawley said he planned to. Of course, Cruz couldn’t be out- brown nosed (or orange nosed?). Other Republicans couldn’t let the universally despised Cruz upstage them & it was downhill, from there. Romney was the Senator who had the close encounter with the mob, because he’d been in his office or something. When the Senate reconvened, he blamed Hawley & 45 for what happened.

It started with a simple lie, "Lock her up!" and ended with a solid truth, "Lock him up!"
This guy has been ditching accountability his whole life, running under the radar while still being public. Just watch, some how, he is gonna get out of this one.....including by dying or forging his death lol

As someone that moved from America to the UK last November, the wait until this morning to watch Stephen perform, entertain and enlighten us (again💙) was tough but oh! so worth it! Lock Him(J.F.K.F.C.) Up! 🙏 The WORLD is watching! (It's on our news every day!)
What’s to admire about the US is that it’s all out in the open; in the UK it’s cloak & dagger.
The nasty party continues to defy any accountability (Kwateng & Patel failing to show up at hearings without proper reason; breaking the law bears no consequence for leadership of the ruling party, a debate for leadership gets cancelled because of damage-limitation).

I fight with my voice when I can, but, living in Alabama, it may come to a physical fight. The mayor (who won re-election by campaigning "Let's Keep Our City Republican") pretty much started dismantling our little public library soon after the election. Our library is in a former dry goods store. The director quit after his harassment, and then he fired the children's librarian for no cause that we could find. Last city council, I carried a handmade sign that says "I vote for people who support libraries." There are others more vocal, and we're beginning to make a dent. Oh, on why he doesn't like the library--he wanted a big athletic complex instead of building a new city hall/library complex like our neighbor town, and people voted it down.
I love how a congressional oversight hearing took time to completely piss on fellow senator josh hawley well done committee! 👏

I love how confident Colbert has become, how he really owns the stage as his own! Even when he's cheesy, he just has such a solid presence. He's grown a lot from when he started the show in 2015.
Except during the pandemic. He hosted those almost awfully, with large pauses meant for applause, without a live audience. Felt very strange.
@@samsoncooper1 hmmm... I loved his pandemic shows! Yes, at first it was awkward, for everyone that did a zoom meeting, or live show... but... Him, in a room alone, or with Evie❤️ it was fun and very genuine.
No. He got the job BECAUSE of his confidence. I assume you never watched the Colbert Report? He was already the ballsy-est man alive. Hahaha
@@samsoncooper1 I loved just him and Evie together so much. I wasn't keen on having audience again.
He’s an American treasure.
You know when a President says he has trouble with the word "Yesterday" but says he is a self proclaimed STABLE GENIUS he lied.
"...camera, TV. I'm probably the only one ever to get them all right."
Anyone who thinks that they have to declare themselves a "stable genius" is neither.
Or every time he opens his mouth...
Lmbo😂😂😂😂😂
trump is a dangerous fascist tyrant who lies as often as he speaks, but not because he has trouble with words. everybody screws up words sometimes. lest ye forget he who currently inhabits the white house.
there's plenty of real stuff to drag him over the coals for without zeroing in on this weak sauce.
9:49 "Jim, can we play that back with the audio turned up?"
I don't know what I was expecting, but the cartoon-skedaddle sound set me off something fierce.
Compliments to Monty Python:
“Brave Sir Hawley ran away.
Bravely ran away away.
When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Hawley turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Swiftly taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the brave, Sir Hawley!”
And there was much rejoicing.
Love Monty Python.

Sorry Nancy for being so hard on you, but Americans are suffering now with gas prices and food, and as a Democrat, your heart must be aching for these people?
Nancy don't you think it would be honest and fair if next there should be a hearing on Pelosi's inside trading since her husband bought 5 million in a stock that congress is getting ready to give money to?
Also Maxine Watters has been paying her daughter using campaign funds which is illegal , don't you think there should be a hearing on that?

I LOVE YOU STEPHEN COLBERT for eloquently delivering TRUTH
And hilariously! His Pluto was spot on!
Oops! I meant Goofy - Pluto was his pet dog that didn't talk. 🙃
That short clip of Josh running from the rioters is what he will forever be remembered for, like, that is now his identity, that's his legacy! He had no problem supporting them and provoking them from a safe distance, but as soon as it started getting bad he ran, and the ones who didn't provoke or instigate the crowd stayed and faced off against the angry mob. The real heroes chose to stay put and defend the Capital and some of them even died for it. People like Cassidy Hutchinson, Caroline Edwards and Sarah Matthews knew they'd face backlash and controversy from testifying at the J6 hearings, but they all chose to do what was right and they deserve much respect for it!
After of course watching the insanity and incompetence up close for years.....
They deserve a minuscule modicum of respect. They worked for his in his administration for years. They saw every day what he was capable of - and you can bet they’d still be working for him if he hadn’t sent the Pence tweet or had called the rioters off sooner. That’s what it took for some of them to finally say - I no longer wish to be associated to this administration.
That’s how low their bar is.
Rocky: Pelosi didn't protect the voters, the protesters, the Capitol police - pure dereliction of duty by the too-partisan Speaker of the House.
Hilarious! Watching him run … no wait …watching him run with sound😂😂😂
Adam Kizinger's closing statement was powerful and there's no one that can argue or disagree against his words. The world needs to move on from Trump. Republicans need people like Kizinger or Cheney in their party to show that there's still good respectable ones in their party. They are working hard to right the wrong that was Trump. I applaud their hard work and I feel for the hard road they've laid out for themselves because they truly are trying to defend our democracy. They're not traitors, they're just doing their jobs legally and responsibly as they were appointed to do so; by the people, for the people.
Too bad he leaving, so sad
I'd like to see Adam Kissinger run for president. I think Kissinger is above the crazy republican values, and policies.
No doubt he'll add this to his "higher office ambitions" reel... He's done the bare minimum at the LAST possible moment... So has Liz... They supported Rump for ALL THIS TIME... Party over Country... So thanks, and No thanks, Adam & Liz.
@@vanessawhitneypro They are Republicans, so they should be conservative. They did not put party over country, as so many Republicans and Democrats do. They showed loyalty to the Constitution, not a man. Our country tends to oscillate between more conservative, then more liberal. I would prefer when we swing right, it an honorable person like Cheney or Kitzinger, who abide in the White House, not Trump or any of his demagogic clones.
💯
I would have liked to have been with the cast as they watch and prepared for the show.
Super impressed with Kinzinger and Luria. Not only as Representatives, but as TRUE patriots and veterans.
Luria is fantastic. The other guy has done the bare minimum at the last minute... But, while he's been in office, it's been Party over Country.
But Kinzinger doesn't represent anybody. He isn't even running again. He is yours now, you elect him to something so he has real qualification to be on your committee. But you will throw hin and Cheney away as soon as they leave congress in January.

NEW SHOW- Jon and Stephen : GREAT BIG TRUTH PRESENTED WITH HUMOR!
7:35 Pence's security staff making farewell calls to family reminds me of the final calls from people trapped in the World Trade Center.
I was thinking the same thing!
interesting comparison, because it could be strongly argued that that attack was the result of GWB's dereliction of duty, at best, since he then used that attack, which was funded by a Bush family friend & carried out by a bunch of Saudis, to declare his freedom-robbing 'war on terror', which he then used to invade two middle eastern nations based on his own political lies, resulting in the loss of thousands of military lives. In another similarity, neither will likely ever face criminal responsibility for their crimes against this nation.
And the flight passengers took back from hijacker’s and crashed, preventing another strike. Iirc, many made farewell calls to loved ones
Run, Hawley, Run!
That's one "running man" I hope won't be back.

I'll be honest here democrats aren't heroes either, inaction comes as easily to a Democrat as it does to a Republican. We need to stop this whole 2 party bull we do in this nation. It hasn't done us any favors, maybe a solution could exist in any spectrum. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, by all accounts he was a great leader. We could find a great president on either side of the fence so to speak. It should be less about political affiliation and more about what the candidate plans to do. Where their morals fall on the scales of life. What kind of experiences have they had, are they aware of the problems that plague your average american. There is a good barometer for leadership.

They stood and protected despite their lives being at risk. They did their job. They are true heroes. The traitors in the FBI and CIA should be put on trial and sent to prison, as should Trump, Gaetz, Greene, Hawley and others who supported this attempted coup of our government.

One important detail to keep in mind when listening to the Secret Service agents telling their families that they might be coming home, is that these agents are not students hiding under desks or shopper locking themselves in a cooler to protect themselves. They ARE ARMED with assorted firearms and TRAINED in the use of those weapons and in the application of deadly force. Think about that for a moment. They have the means to protect themselves and their charge, the vice president along with his family, and they are gravely concerned about all of them getting out alive.
They were still considered "the good guys with guns" too!
Some covers being pulled there... oh wait, maybe I should delete that...
Officers safety is paramount. We have never lost an officer during a school shooting or an insurrection and we don't plan to start now. The most important thing a police officer can do is come home unharmed. We didn't lose a single officer during the Uvalde school shooting and that shooter had an assualt weapon. Sure we had to wait for the proper gear but we didn't mind. All that Dirty Harry crap isn't reality, coming home safely is. If you want a hero, you go in thewre and get shot, I'm not going to do it. Officers safety is paramount, period.
@@ellisjk1409 except for the Dirty Harry crap pulled by the border patrol agent that shot the gunman...
@@ellisjk1409 If you are in law enforcement currently, you need to find another profession. The lives of those that do not have the means to protect themselves from a violent attack such as the school shootings at Uvalde ARE WHAT IS PARAMONT! The officers there were also armed with AR's AND were in numbers far greater than the ONE SHOOTER. They also have had response training supposedly in these types of crisis situations. The lack of initiative, courage, intestinal fortitude and intelligence to quickly formulate a plan of attack is despicable and totally unacceptable. I was enraged when I saw them standing around with their heads up their asses as innocent children and teachers were being murdered within a short distance away. Yes, coming home after the shift is over is a priority, but it is below that of doing what you signed on for and that is to protect the community in your charge. If you cannot overcome your fears to do the right thing, then hang it up. You are a danger to yourself and others.

double tap and we grow tomatoes on their unmarked graves (at least then they will be good for the soil)
1. catch him the act, if not it's the courts problem (don't let him infect you with his evil, hand him to the cops if you not certain)
2. confront him with his deed by clear evidence.
3. ask any witnesses if they are complicit or to leave.
4. and if he shows no remorse nor seeks mercy, then call on Allah(s.w.t) for forgiveness and slit his throat. be quick be firm do not let him suffer, that's not your job but Allah(s.w.t)
5. call the cops to come clean up
6. go have a coffee
there are creatures pretending to be human.
you will know them by their character and their deeds.
keep your people safe brother.
