“We can be shocked, but we can’t be surprised.” Well said.
Agreed
The only surprise I had was to see so little police/security for this predictable and predicted attack.
Man, all night I been farting like my anus is making farts like a FART FACTORY . Just imagine how someones inside anus smell
Elect a clown....Expect a circus.
Trump and GOP.
The World saw an imbecile voted POTUS in 2016, we knew what would happen.
How did the American electorate NOT see this coming??
@@annm3631 And worse: still denies it. The real problem is Obama in a tan suit, according to these people. I mean morons.
“Patriotism means support for your country. It does not mean support for the president”. -Teddy Roosevelt
THIS!!!!
The trump supporters take that the other way around tho. They’re terrorists at this point. Not patriots
It's sad to see the factionism that has grown within the Republican party, there is Trumplicans (fanatics) and Republicans.
But if you're a fascist patriotism is viewed as support for the fascist leader.
Meanwhile biden is living christ to people watching these shows... lol
Charles Manson was convicted of murder but never killed anyone, no he incited others to kill. Think about that
Yup. Exactly. It wont be a case will he be charged. It will what will he be charged with!!!!
🤔🤔🤔=🎯
We don't really know what Manson said to those crazy kids. Those kids were crazy before Manson started in on them.
That is a good analogy.
America is collapsing. China and russia laughing at usa liberal Democracy lmao
Seth almost broke down talking about how fragile and precious our democracy is. I was tearing up too. Well said, Seth...you’re awesome.
As a US Army veteran hearing these terrorists call themselves patriots makes me ill
I can totally understand that yeah. They have no clue what it means to actually fight for their country. I haven't served either but I do respect people like you for having done it.
As a non-American who loves your country and wants the best for it, thanks for your service and your truthfulness about today.
Thank you Seth. Europe is shocked. And you know it. Ekki from Germany
As a Canadian afghan vet I fell you. Radicalized domestic terrorists are the worst.
But ivanka called them patriots!! Sickening THEY think they are.
The way Trump has reacted reminds me of a Game of Thrones quote:
"He would see this country burn if he be King of its Ashes"
as if his ego isn't big enough already.
This incident reminds me of animal house “Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”
it's better than got
@@Nowinoc 😂Nice spot for a Bluto quote
Great quote. Was that about the Mad King?
I’m crying over how eloquent this monologue is. Many thanks to Seth and his writers for helping keep us sane these last four years.
Thank-you Seth.
It's no laughing matter anymore.
@@billygoatgates3670 Get trumped
Over a year later, I still feel this was the absolute best, hands down, late night monolog that summed up the Jan 6th events. Thank you for for speaking out and saying what we all felt that day Seth.
Agreed. And to those who say Seth Meyers should stick to telling jokes or stick to comedy, understand what happened on 1/6 nor the Trump presidency was not funny. They were both horrifying and should never happen again.
This Colbert's and Kimmel's where great.
Amy, I think we should mark January 6 as a remembrance day on the calendar like we have for Pearl Harbor.
That moment when a talk show host delivers a more chilling, articulate and inspiring speech than any elected official in either the senate or the house!
Those of us watching America from outside are shocked, appalled and concerned for the safety of your democracy and your citizens. Good luck America, I hope sanity returns to your land soon.
It’s sad and very ugly
What this guy says - a lowly New Zealander
We feel the same way
Agreed - Get those corrups SOBs out - Norway
Thank you for the kind words. Please know most of us are against this chaos, and if we need to take democracy into our own hands to ensure it doesn't falter we will prevail and make an example of those who tried to destroy our country!
THANK YOU, Seth, for being the one voice to flatly state that the politicians who incited this riot need to be removed from office immediately and permanently.
same goes for the democrats who incited violence after george floyds death. Street goes both ways dude, if you want to say you're unbiased, you actually have to be unbiased.
Yes
@@jaredkilleen7009 the difference is that trump incited the violence against democracy and the peaceful transition of power of our American government. Yes it's bad that some democrats incited violence after George Floyds death, but that is absolutely not the same as what trump did here. He's stirred up lies and misinformation, brought those people to DC, had his rally just minutes before this vote was to take place, then told them to march against the capitol, to never give up, that they had their election and their country stolen from them, and to fight. He directly and deliberately causes the armed and violent insurrection tonight, and his only way of apology was filled with lies and then he told those terrorists that they were loved and very special.
Absolutely unacceptable.
@@jaredkilleen7009 Looting a Target and breaching the US Capitol building are not remotely the same
@@jaredkilleen7009 go to Parler. Stay on Parler to plot and commiserate with your comrades. There actually is a difference in standing up for equality and human rights v the traitorous garbage that went down at the nations capitol in the name of a privileged few. You will be safe on Parler.
I couldn’t have gotten through the last couple years without you, Stephan and Trevor. Thank you.
After flipping around all the news outlets tonight, THIS was the most coherent, measured, and astute commentary. Thank you.
Agreed.
Stephen Colbert did an excellent speech about it as well. I recommend it.
"American will never be destroyed from outside , If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."Abe Lincoln
Thank you. I wasn’t aware of this Lincoln quote.
It’s not a real Lincoln quote 😂 more of paraphrasing
www.snopes.com/fact-check/lincoln-destroyed-from-outside/
“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.” --George Washington's Farewell Address

@@andrewharrison1194 I love England though, and Canada ...
@@andrewharrison1194 what a thoughtful comment! We're equally glad that we've since made up and forged a great relationship between our two countries.
Thank you!
Seth Meyers showed intelligence and strength today where most broadcast media stepped away from the hard truths. S Meyers rose to the top of broadcast journalism. Thank you Seth Meyers for saying what we crave in responsible, intelligent journalism.
"They should carry this shame" except they aren't ashamed, they wanted this, they love this & that is the problem.
And this is exactly why they're nauseating, spineless insurrectionists.
And every Dem who still says this "we cannot look back" bs is part of the problem too.
Well they can be proud of themselves from a cell because DC plans to convict everyone that broke into the capital.
As they obviously should.
We can hoist the shame upon them.
You don't have to feel shame presonally to be destroyed by it
Shame has weight and can be crushing
Look at how trump nearly burst into tears when he was booed at the baseball game.
It can be done
In order to have shame one must have a conscience...........they do don't!!!! Also, as you said , this is what they have been wanting for a long time!!
It means so much that Seth addressed this head on and without jokes. Very well spoken.
Beautifully spoken.
He must be held accountable (for once)
Teddy Roosevelt said :
“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”
TIME TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING TO SHOW THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE USA
Yes! _Thank you_ for using the entire quote instead of the "shortened down to fit a fortune cookie" version.
Honestly, _that_ is what US citizens need to repeat every morning in school, not that creepy oath of allegiance which nobody under 16 years has any business to take.
And that's what Snowden did
Yo Teddy is a GOAT in my book.
@Sara Crewe GOAT = Greatest Of All Time #Ifyoudontknownowyouknow
Remember when presidents were eloquent like this? :(
Seth, this speech gave me chills. Thank you for explaining the severity of what happened at the capitol and for sharing perhaps the best way to handle the situation.
I honestly prefer this serious tone. This is a serious time.
Me too, the scripting is a bit overkill and annoying most times, there should be less "like" jokes and more of his personal opinions on the subject, he's naturally funny.
And the burning and looting of cities all year was what, just "Peaceful Protests?"
Gimme a break, buncha hypocrites.
Never have seen the serious side of this guy. Very, very impressive.
@@maddierosemusic It's obvious hypocrisy. If violence is so wrong, why the hell weren't they upset when a few months ago Black Lives Matter and Antifa set things on fire, lootet and hurt other people?
They really don't care about people being violent or undemocratic, they only care about the group. If it's a left-wing group that hurts and kills innocent people, they call it "mostly peaceful". There was *much more* violence during the Black Lives Matter "protest".
@@hamidkarim4811 Looting and violence from any group is clearly wrong and unacceptable. However storming the Capital in order try to overturn a legitimate election is American terrorism.
"There must be consequences." 100% correct, because Trump is going to keep stoking this unrest after he leaves the White House.
he going to keep doing it when hes out of there too.
Trumps not leaving the WH! YOU WILL BE LEAVING MY COUNTRY!
How else is he supposed to pay his crippling debts, guy? He's got to keep the grift alive! I mean--he can't trade on our foreign policy anymore, doing the bidding of hostile foreign powers (to whom he still owes A LOT of money.)
@@tystyx615 Trump said he's leaving the White House and Biden will be inaugurated on the 20th, my dude. Look it up. He conceded when he lost the support of Republican Senators yesterday. It's over. And it looks like he will be removed from office much sooner than the 20th. I suggest you find a way to cope.
@@tystyx615 Oh, I see you joined TH-cam 5 days ago, lol. What I meant to say was "beep boop, comrade." 🇷🇺🤖
„Conspiracy theories as a substitute for leadership and governance.“ Well said!

Y'all are great. Just sayin'
“Patriotism means support for your country. It does not mean support for the president”. -Teddy Roosevelt
Important update. seeing the current state of affairs in US and the world, I seriously think we need Donald trump back in the presidency.
Never have-never will!
You are so right! Trump wants people to be loyal to him , not our country! He gets rid of people, if you don't agree with him! Have you ever see a presidency, in our past- where the president got rid of people in his cabinet on a regular basis, because they tried to give him good advise/ or disagreed with him- he has an agenda, that is to be our KING/ EMPEROR!!!
Debate and questioning authority when there's room for debate and questioning IS the highest form of patriotism here in these United States. When all evidence is against you, when the only debate is the itinerary forward and not which path we should chose, does dissent become dangerous. These people are and were traitors, and I can say that having traitors in my ancestry, I'm from the South.... -_-
@@patrickbuckley344 very true
@Matt H but you support the last 4 years? huh? you are blind by your faith and failed by your ignorance....
As an European I can only say that I saw this coming 4 years ago. I wish the US strength to stand against the authoritarian tendencies within your country.
The Republican Party is controlled by Fascists..this is the issue.
@@zaurakdigis I don't know enough off the internal politics of the US to say that. I am worried though about the path the US is on.
@@arthurvdv8690 we will be fine, Trump running again would be a dream come true for Democrats. January 6 will be Trumps legacy.
Not American either, but when he was elected in 2016 I was afraid he might even declare martial law to stay in power. I'm honestly surprised he didn't take the riots in DC as an opportunity to do that. He was never, ever going to go quietly, it was evident from the beginning. I just hope this is the worst we see, and that whatever good people remain in the Republican party can keep him under control until the transfer of power is safely complete. The best thing Biden can do for America is dismantle and prosecute Faux News, and ensure such a broad spreader of disinformation cannot happen again. The truth will set you free. I think that's the first time that phrase has made sense to me.
@@zaurakdigis I hope so. We need eachother more than we tend to realise at times.
We share alot off common values which we should cherrish.
When Seth's team writes an address to the public suitable for a president
I would say Seth for President, but after Reagan and Trump, i think we should think better of electing celebrities
It only comes off that way because they are reading from the same script.
Preach.

SETH IS A SHILL OF THE CORPORATE MEDIA. JUST LIKE JIMMY AND JIMMY. THEY WOULD NOT WIN AN ELECTION FOR ANY PUBLIC OFFICE NOT EVEN IN HIGH SCHOOL.
Watching again today, after 3 years... Didn't aged at all.
This is the clearest and most powerful condemnation I've seen yet of this incident, its perpetrators, and its enablers. Even now, after everything we've seen, too many outlets are refusing to call spades "spades." Thank you, Seth.
agree
Q
EVERYONE Responsible must be held accountable starting with Trump. Five years of this bullshit is enough. No more
thats quite a list though. Almost the entire Republican party, Fox, Alex Jones, the NRA, assorted pulpit weasels, this is gonna take some time.
Amen! I mean to the NO more thing.. not... whatever ☝️ all that is lol! Stay safe peeps!
Trump has never been held accountable for anything in his life, and it will not start now.

Surprisingly.
I say it all the time but Seth Meyers is THE best source for news and this is no different. This is an amazing speech.
Watch Stephen Colbert's monologue. I've never seen him so angry.
@@joshuarosen6242 I actually just watched it! So great. These guys truly have the best writers.
Both of these guys are not here to give you news. They are here to entertain you. They are selling lies. It’s hard to know what to believe anymore, but late night talk shows are not there to tell hard facts. They want to sell their agenda.
@@ballroomboy You should fact check them then to see if they're telling lies. I think you'll be surprised at how honest they're being. Feel free to post a specific example if you can find one.
This statement by Seth Meyers should be preserved for the rest of history and be presented as a historical document throughout the rest of the existence of the United States. This is the greatest summation that I have witnessed after the insurrection. It should be memorialized and taught as a history lesson forever. No one could have said it better. Thanks Seth.
No matter how many times this president sinks to a new low, he finds a way to sink even lower. God only knows what insane things he may try to do in the coming days.
Flee the country
America is collapsing. China and russia laughing at usa liberal Democracy lmao
George Soros back at it again. Another stage event! Lmao
Declare martial law, bomb a random country, launch nukes, etc. -- just some of the ideas that are on the table for the Orange Abomination.
I said the very same thing!! I was nervous to go to bed last night.. as I didn't know how much worse things could get .. but they did!!!!! It's NOW FOUR people dead.. instead of ONE!!! It shouldn't be ANY!!!!! Donald Trump and the Republican leaders... and supporters... have BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS!!!!!
I am so proud of all the late night hosts for their sane, calm, rational explanations of Jan. 6th events. Kudos to Seth, Steven, Jimmy K., Jimmy F., and John Oliver
I just think it’s annoying. I don’t wanna hear my comedians talk about politics unless there’s a punchline somewhere there. It’s just disingenuous and it’s virtue signaling and it’s insufferable. It’s pretty much the same thing as the vegan who needs to say they are vegan every 10 minutes
Don’t forget Corden.
Y’all need to get out of your bubble see the truth. You’ve all drank the Kool-Aid how sad.
@@powskiproductions8839 then don’t watch easy as that.
you like one sided news. But you would not want to live in a country with one political party like Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, most Arab nations.
...the picture that 'burned' into my brain was that MAGA guy waving the confederate flag on the Senate floor ...whaoh! What a sad day in the history of our country!
These people don’t realize that the confederate flag, and the maga merch is the antithesis of what america is. And by then trying to replace the flags they are saying they want something unpatriotic. Sadly trump has tied americaness to support for him, so they see it as interchangeable. 🤢
A national disgrace if there ever was one.
Yes, and that MAGA guy is probably a registered Republican - you know, the party of Lincoln, as they like to say. So a member of the party of Lincoln waved a Confederate flag in the US Congress. Irony is dead.
@@evam8389 Lol, touche'. I hate to laugh right now but the abysmal stupidity/irony is just unreal. I've been making this same argument and I either don't get through or I get no response, which I hope is the effect of having said something that actually had an effect...
Sore losers waving confederate flags. There are just so many layers of wrong in that picture it's overwhelming.

Revisiting this tonight after the Jan. 6 committee’s first public hearing and it’s astounding, although not surprising, that this is still among the most coherent, clear-eyed statement made about the horrific events of that day.
Well done Seth. Honestly, great summary of events and wording, a great way to get the message across. They must be held accountable. He must be held accountable.
This is why we love Seth. He always nails it completely.

I've been expecting some sort of violence from the far-right for weeks now. I just didn't think it would actually be an act of sedition or an attempted coup. I just figured it would be a protest somewhere that got violent. This is...fucking insane. And they probably think they did nothing wrong, that they were just doing their patriotic duty.
@@sfreemanoh Same here. I was expecting a T***p rally or march to turn violent at some point. I was expecting either a shootout with the police or a riot. But I didn't ever expect a terrorist attack on congress and government buildings. I never thought I'd be so disappointed in America.
Coming from trump I'm not surprised it was gonna happen he's not stable
When is Civil War legal?

When has revolution ever been peaceful?
Then why are you speaking?
Seth Meyers needs to post a transcript of his wonderful speech tonight.
"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in" -Trump
The fact he's told that story many times before a crowd.....is beyond bizarre.
It's SO on the nose. Does he realize the double meaning....? Does the audience he tells it to?
Seems not. But man....that story he tells is incredibly disturbing given the context of who he is as a human being. He's literally warning people of his psychopathy in the telling of that story. But neither he, nor his intended audience, gets that message.
It's weird....
I'm glad I'm not the only one that can't sleep tonight.
It's 9:30 am here.
Same 🥺 I really am sitting here so sad and hoping and wishing that this is it. Get rid of him for good and throw away the key and send all his cult followers to some hidden place they can never escape and be miserable losers together.

"They replaced an American flag with a Trump flag"
1) Wtf, there's a "Trump flag"??
2) This tells you everything you need to know about Trump and his supporters; It's not about America, it's all about Trump. 🤮
"Trump 2020" flag
@@ShinyTillDawn Trump 20 years to life for sedition, 20 years to life for corruption and 20 years to life for being an all round piece of s**t.
That was the flag people were using in the protests. It shows how people are only loyal to Trump and not the actual country. They really support Trump being a dictator.
Cori Bush just put forth a resolution to bring consequences to those in office that supported this crap.
Yeah it's stupid af but we have them where I live, there's even a "Trump Store"- smh
People died making sure that that specific flag never made it into our Capitol. Bringing it there is one of the most Un-American things you can do! Smh...... I’m just so tired. Keeping up with all of this is exhausting.
This was more than a disagreement over election results. I guess if you can’t get your way legally/ tried corruption, then kill anyone who doesn’t agree with you.
No one died
@Neil Rusling there were no bombs
@@larrydavid5650 people died. Others were injured. They wanted to hang the vice president. That is not American.
@@kremove no one died because of the rioting. Not one. The only directly related death was Ashley Babbit, who was unarmed and shot in the head by a Capitol polio officer.
Thank you, Seth. True two years ago and today, April 25, 2023. They, all the representatives and senators who voted to nullify the election, will wear that shame and should never be allowed to serve in any office in our democracy again
Trump said in summer to BLM protests, “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
Trump said yesterday to insurrectionists, “you’re special, I love you, I understand you.”
@Brodie Lawrence Nope.
@@daltonmeredith6790 did you not see the people breaking through the windows of the Capitol, to steal the respect for the United States on the world stage????
What will it take for you to see? A live video of trump groping his daughter before you'll understand what he is????
@@daltonmeredith6790 What they did may not qualify as looting but their actions do meet the definition of seditious acts.
@@daltonmeredith6790 Thanks for that response. I was looking for an example of selective blindness--where people can see "evil" in those with whom they do not identify (BLM in your case) , but do NOT see it in those with whom they DO identify (terrorist fascists in your case).
@@daltonmeredith6790 a trumpie stole a podium to sell on eBay so.
Why did the republican representatives hide in secure locations when the mob stormed the capital building? Aren’t they on the same side ?
In that culture it's "Me the people", not "We the people"
Too right.australia is shocked, but not surprised
And where was Tom Cotton? Remember when he wanted to use the military against BLM & Antifa?
@@milochilo971 been thinking that all day 🇦🇺
The republicans, who have some sense of honour or respect for the law or for democracy left, are seen as traitors by these completely deluded terrorists. They have every reason to be as careful as every other sane person. The officials in Georgia received death threats not only against themselves but against their families and children. Sad times indeed.
Seth, that was probably the most concise accurate commentary of this debacle so far...Well, done.
Nope... Not even close. Good try.
Thank you Seth! For saying what so many of us are thinking and feeling. I hope everyone is writing to their Senators, Governors and Legislators to get that man removed from office.
I gotta admit I'm getting REAL TIRED of being a part of history lately. 😢
Yes, indeed
This.
at least the crazys are showing themselves time to get rid of em
Awwww poor baby... 🙄 When a country has growing pains everyone has to cry about it. Granted, we've gone back 60 years so there's plenty more history in the making.
Whomp whomp. Cya boo boo . Y’all quitters.
Incredible opening Seth. Maybe the best ever, even if joke-less.
When late night talk shows give better leadership than those in government
For real. This is better than Biden's speech last night. 😔
@@thus_crab WAY better. He is STILL trying to reach across the aisle saying "This is not who we are" Sorry to break it to you Joe, yes this IS America and the longer we turn away from it the worse it gets :(
... then it is anytime between January 20th 2017 and January 20th 2021 (hopefully).
Oh, I though you were looking for an end to that sentence.
Thank you for this piece Seth. Much appreciated. Really well said- really well done.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Mexico is probably considering paying for the wall at this point...
Best . . . . Post. . . . . Yet
And so is Canada.
😭😭😭
😂😂thank you for this post. Among the saddest event that we're watching I needed that laugh. Stay safe
Not really, those racists who took the Capitol yesterday are loath to come here, they despise us as much as we despise them.
Besides, they just wanted an excuse to show their assault rifles and destroy something. What does it matter if it was their own house?
I called this exact thing a little over 4 years ago.
Who didn't see it coming...?
I wish more people had listened. I think far many took even a relatively competent (yet far from perfect) democracy for granted. Even as a Canadian who's physically and environmentally detached from madness, I will NEVER take our democracy for granted again!
Billions around the world saw it coming, however it is still shocking
Those who willfully refused to see it coming, didn't see it coming.
Can we get this guy banned to run for the next presidential run? Or get him locked up right after he leaves office? Just spitballing here because we should never choose someone who cares only for oneself and brainwash their people just for recognition. Well he's now best known for being the worst human selfish human being since anyone else. It anyone lives in other stories from books, movies, or any other, I would rather be Dracula's bodyguard, a parademon for Darkseid, a flying monkey for the wicked witch of the west, be a Thanos follower, be giunie pig for the Joker, heck I rather worker for the co-founder of McDonald's at the time he stole and took the credit of the original founders because he's played by the freaking Batman. I know I'm commenting there kind of nonesense, but for what just happened, right after leaving the worst year we ever experienced so far, I don't see anyone learned what went wrong yet made things worst because of a snob says so.
I saw all of this coming as I listened to Trump's dark inauguration speech four years ago. It made me sick and the feeling never went away. thank God this part of our history may soon be over and that we have learned from it. Action must be taken to bring justice.
"They replaced the American flag with a Trump flag". That should piss any real Patriot off.
Especially after he made a fuzz about Colin Kaepernick taking a knee..Double Standards for the Rich...Abraham Lincoln would have been stoned to death!
They are also replacing the American flag with a confederate flag. Disgusting.
Yeah, these last four years, they have gone from silent morons to loud fascists, pretty quickly.
Also carried a confederate flag
absolutely...no man is above the nation or law.
Here we are just about three years later and the words Seth said between 3:59 - 4:39 are as true as ever.
Heaven help this country.
There’s this quote „we should fight for democracy while it still exists, it gets a lot harder afterwards“
Missleading statement... the mob was fighting for democracy in their eyes
@@Tokamak91 this is how Democracy always ends... A critical point of idiots being manipulated for personal power.
@@Tokamak91 But... But they weren´t in reality xDxD
Honestly, Seth never told jokes for the last 4 years. Only the truth.
But it was okay to laff at it a little, right? Made it easier to bear...😉
I have noticed the same thing with Bill Maher. Although their shows are called comedy shows, in reality they are talking serious and truthful things. Has it become a way of bringing public to its senses and reason?
THAT is hilarious. He would not know the truth if it bit his ass.
Yeah over the last 4 years all the late night hosts switched to "truthful news" aka propaganda. Why would anyone take late night comedians as serious news is beyond me.
@@jiffycrimso5691 Voices of reason in a sea of right wing bullshit perhaps (Rush, Hannity, Tucker, Ingraham, Pirro...)?

Um hm m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3973835632660603&id=100001026151518
there is a time and place for jokes, now is not the time.
I wanted to make a joke about the "trial by combat" line because imagining Trump trying to fight would be hysterical but I the fact he wants it to come to that is just terrifying.
I'm old enough to remember Jon Stewart's first Daily Show after 9/11...surreal, heartbreaking, burned on my brain forever😢
Thank you, Seth and Late Night crew! I completely agree. I appreciate how you tell it like it is and bring the real story to your viewers. Thank you!
2020: Things can't get worse.
2021: Hold my Confederate flag.
yikes
What a great hateful run of a start from the trumpsters head first in the wall smashing every last braincells they had left under that maga cap

People who assume things can't get worse let the worse become reality.
@@R1ckr011 i could never imagine that the US congress would be attacked by its own citizen. We were ignorant thinking that the bad stuff would end in 2020. It was clearly just a warm up

And Canada want a wall too
they saw that stuff go down and they're like, "you know what?? on second thoughts, suuuure. we'll pay to keep you people out."
LMBAO‼️
@@melaniecombes1665 Pacific ocean wants a wall too, but has no money , Will pay in seashells and pearls though.
I love Seth Meyers and this was a very eloquent monologue. From the UK.
Hat tip to Closer Look headwriter Sal Gentile for reposting this on Bluesky tonight.
I agree with Seth that Trump needs to be removed and arrested immediately, as do Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, et al.
It's time.
I have been begging the House to Impeach Trump again
Trump must be removed from office now, but realistically, no one in DC has the courage to do it or it NEVER would have gone this far.
It should have happened yesterday during that inflammatory speech he made encouraging his domestic terrorist cult members to attack the White House.
Never leave a poor RABID animal loose in our court yard.
we don't have to kill Trump, just keep him away from our children.
2020 - "Many consider me to be the worst year ever"
2021 - "Hold my beer..."
Let me introduce you to my cousin ... 2021, call it ... MAYHEM ...
Well, the only hope we have is that 2020 shittiness only really started in earnest in March. Maybe it's following the lunar calendar? If so, maybe the year will improve in February.
It's certainly not starting off well...
2020 WHO!!!!
Good news is the bar for expectations is really really low to start!
Seth, in 6 minutes and 46 seconds you have demonstrated more leadership than Trump has shown in the past four years!
@@YTsurferr he’s not. What the hell are you talking about
Wow, an on-the-spot opinion piece that is as spot-on two years later as it was that night. Perfectly written and delivered, Team Seth!
I thought I’d have to wait until tomorrow to watch my favorite late night show. But it’s truly late night
One of my favorite things about Seth Myers these days is how he's not shy to point out this isn't an anomaly, they aren't outliers or just a few Republicans gone rogue, this is just what the Republican party is, this is where they were always headed, and now their true colors are fully on display
agreed!!
Said of it that the only good thing about Trump is he's the straw that'll break the camel's back.
Well said. Please for ONCE they MUST hold him accountable - and his power hungry enablers as well.
May God bless you Seth, and may GOD BLESS AMERICA; I spent 7 GREAT years there, and the last 4 years have broken my heart, especially the events of this week.
I’m amazed that NO ONE “feared” for their lives this time???!!!
Great point! As My favorite comedian Chris Rock once said,
"Cuz it's all right when it's all white"
Right? I'm surprised and kinda disgusted that they didn't receive the treatment that any other group would've received.
BLM got bullets, MAGA got selfies and their hands held.
Tbf 4 people died, but yeah fr. One lady got her hand held while they walked her down the steps of the Capital.
And nobody was reaching for anything, RIGHT!
The Gangster-in-Chief is a clear and present danger, and should be removed from office immediately. Impeach!
Cowardly gangster - is more like the terrorists who send others to blow themselves up yet they stay hidden in bunkers or caves.
25th Amendment would be a lot faster.
Ann, I agree with you, but an immediate termination could be accomplished with the 25th ammendment being implemented by Vice President Pence. He has been an enabler for four years, but he could save this republic by gathering the cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment and remove Trump.
When are we going to start treating traitors like traitors? Death or 20 years in jail thats the penalty for sedition and traitor in this country. Lets start from the top
Yes, Let's convict Biden and Trump to start things off.
Yes lets. None of your beloved dems will be left in office, nor any complicit lying media be left unarrested. Be careful what you wish for.
agreed!
@@billygoatgates3670 judging from actual statistic measure of fact; it will be hundreds of Republicans and a few moderate corporate Democrats who reached across the isle.
Not a single progressive.
Be careful how you project Republican crimes.
I do truly believe that a good handful of them could be justly convicted of high treason.
When Seth and Stephen Colbert get serious, it’s bad. I look to them to brighten things up. But January 6th could not be brightened. It was a horrible day.
Hats off to Seth and his writing team for this statement. Love that he took time to talk about the historic events in Georgia.
I haven’t seen him this serious since Floyd’s death.
@@tincanbt3 So you agree that he deserved to be suffocated to death?
@@tincanbt3 what difference does that make? You could even say the world is better off with Floyd dead and I wouldn’t disagree. But what does that have to do with how he was brutally, unjustly killed. It just as well could’ve been any other dark skinned black man.
Imagine if a group had travelled in to the country, armed themselves and broke into the capitol to try to overturn a US election.
They would, rightly, be classed as terrorists and so are these right-wing "men" with their confederate flags.
I know, F.N. I know. It's scaring me...😕
@@jishanahmed1481 drug over dose but don’t get me wrong they should have sent him to hospital straight away both side of that incident were wrong
They replaced the American flag with a Trump flag? I think that about sums up all of this pretty nicely.
That's what all fascists do eventually... The Nazi Party flag went on to be Germany's official flag from 1933 to 1945
Yup. That will be the defining image in the history books.
@toro azteca Yup
I believe that would class as treason and the opposite of patriotism. They would rather idolize one man than support their entire country and countrymen. Disgusting
Only in the usa something like trump is even possible
Rewatching this in August 2024 and I'm baffled why the same guy who tried to overthrow the government and end democracy is not only running again but is favored to win.
This is beyond insanity.
🤯
not anymore he isn’t
polls are showing harris up in swing states
the trump campaign is running out of things to say about harris and walz
the republican party spent their entire convention making fun of a guy who isn’t running anymore
