OMG the complete monologue is uploaded as one clip?!?! Instead of a million 2-minute clips??? Bless the intern who didn't give a fuck!! Thank you, intern!!
Reminds me of when I was 15 and a busser at a diner in a small town (my first job), and these old guys asked me if I was "still a virgin." (People don't realize how common sexual harassment is, and how easy it is for people to turn a blind eye)
I grew up homeschooled (somewhat sheltered) so I didn't hear it so much in high school. College was different. Most guys are the decent sort, but there are a few out there who really need to grow up.
Thats just people being weird assholes sexual harrasment seems silly sexual assault is what is awful and should be publically shamed and that kind of behaviour towarss anyone should have conequences
Notthedroids Yourelookingfor: Well Colbert was buddies with the Podestas. Though I dont like Jon Stewarts political drive now, he seems a good guy, he always made me laugh; but has an integrity about him missing from Colbert. I think Colbert would sell him grandma for power/riches.
I was just thinkin' about this... and if a girl would scream "wolf, wolf"... it will be her words against Colbert words... where are the proof? My biggest fear is that from the right empowerment, justice and respect that women deserve we can go back to a sort of McCarthyism...
That guy says that he's been in over 100 meetings with Roy Moore, 'and been around probably in excess of 10,000 different ladies?!?' Unless he counts all the random different women they passed by on the street, that makes an average of 100 women per meeting. What the hell were those 'meetings', beauty pageants?
Kelly-Anne Conway said the other day (re: a photo of Trump and George Papadopolous in a cabinet meeting) "he's been in thousands of photos with millions of people." 1,000 people per photo?
Phil Armstead It is called hyperbole ( in this case exaggeration for entertainment). And is not intended to be taken as the truth. I have serious doubts about the intelligence of an individual who can't tell the difference. Using another person's hyperbole as a method to discredit them is disingenuous or perhaps ignorant at best. And anyone who falls for this deception is just as ignorant as the one using it.
Ha, what? It's not exaggeration for entertainment. In the original commenter's case it was exaggeration to downplay the suggestion that somebody is a sexual predator and in my case it was exaggeration to downplay being party to treason. I don't care about your doubts though, I was providing the original commenter without another, recent example of hyperbole in the news.
If you think about it both you and phil are the one's wrong in your math, not the republicans. A million meetings is over a hundred meetings. Assuming that over 100 = hundred is far more stupid than what he said. As for kelly anne saying thousands of photos, same logic applies. Millions are composed of thousands. There is no contradiction, just false assumptions. Just like democrats to nitpick trivial words and then make significantly more egregious coherency mistakes in their attempts to ridicule.
Drain the swamp of all predators on both sides of the aisle and in Hollywood. As a father of a young daughter and a person that respects decency and rule of law, this must be addressed and women need not be be afraid to speak out.
Dean, it's not just in politics and entertainment, it's everywhere. I hope you teach your daughter how to stand up for herself, and support her 100% if she has to. It has happened to too many of us for far too long.
I understand what you're saying but can men stop saying 'as a father of a daughter/son of a mother/btother of a sister' thing? You don't need to be related by blood to care about other human beings regardless of gender.
Let‘s not forget that these hollywood stars and politicians abused their status to more easily get away with what they had done. I would imagine that the percentage of famous/powerful men/people sexually harassing someone is much, much higher than that of ‚low-profile‘ people doing it.
My goodness I never realized so many of friends have sexually harassed me in the past, I thought it was friends joking around but nope they should all be jailed. Wonder how this can benefit my career???????
I remember till this day that that in 2011 a Korean girl I worked with threatened me to get me fired for sexual harassment because, and I shit you not, I asked her if she has a boyfriend. I haven't exchanged a word with her after that ever again. She was a crazy bitch.
That solely depends on how you define "sexual harassment", if you think pretending to touch somebody's boobs while taking a photo is sexual harassment, then yes at least half the wold's population are sexual harassers.
My favorite part is when the attorney tries to give Roy Moore credit by saying he's been in over 100 meetings with him and never once had he shown these sorts of intentions. But 100? Let's take a look at the fact that he's 70, and most of the assaults take place at his 30s, so if we take the 40 years he's had the opportunity, and multiply that by 365 days, assuming only one assault can happen per day. This means that Roy Moore has have over 14500 days to commit these crimes outside of his attorney's view, assuming that his attorney only met him once, on a different day. Now can I expect a child molester to keep it in his pants while around people 100(ish) / 14600 days, yes, yes I think I could.
AllCommiesCanEatShit andDie I'm afraid that I dislike the Clinton just as much, like, I really don't like him, or his wife, at all. I just think Alabama could of went with, idk, a much better choice for a rep representative. Aside from child pedophilia there's many other problems on his record as is, mostly that he's been removed from power twice already for abusing it. However, the fact I pointed up above was a reprisal simply for the whole "I've been around him 100 times" it may seem like a lot, to some, but in honesty, it's nothing.
I think it’s great that all these stories are coming out. It’s time Men know Certain actions and comments no matter how well intentioned they were, are just inappropriate
There are plenty of women who do the same sexual harrassement bullshit too, except you don't hear about it because most men don't go crying on TV when a girl touches his ass.
Lumor that’s because of a man comes forward he is mocked for being uncomfortable, called “lucky”, and disregarded. Finn Wolfhard was approached and hit on by a 27 year old even though he’s FOURTEEN, and people on twitter made fun of him for being uncomfortable with someone twice his age telling him to “hit her up in 4 years”. If we want male victims of sexual harassment to come out about it more often then we need to stop saying it doesn’t exist, and we need to listen to them and support them
What that women posted about finn was completely creepy. But I think you are stretching the truth to say he was "approached and hit on," that makes it seem like she cornered him in a room. In reality she posted his picture captioned call me in 4 years, its still super creepy but different.
Democrat gets in trouble trump goes off on Twitter. Moore does the same shit only way worse and trump stays quite and keeps his endorsement when others have pulled out. Disturbing that to trump if a dem does it its horrible but if the man he's supporting does it its fine. Jesus such an embarrassment.
This sort of thing shouldn't be happening at the highest levels of government. It shouldn't be happening at all, but it's that much worse when it's people in charge of the legislature.
I'm not sure what your comment has to do with this thread, but let me spell it out for you. EVERYONE is a "social category" in one way or another. It's simply a way of talking about social issues and isn't dehumanizing in any way. No one has or should have the right to exclude anyone (except perhaps criminals and enemies of the state) from "their" communities. If you think a melting pot is the same thing as genocide, then you are probably the most shallow racist alive, and that pool runs pretty damn shallow. A melting pot is just the natural outcome of people living the way they want to live and making the choices they want to make. It's freedom at its finest, and that's what the USA is all about, so deal with it. If that means that "white culture" or any culture for that matter dies out because people just aren't interested in it anymore, then que sara.
*"No, you're talking about this like it's something of a personal nature on a micro scale, White GeNocide is transpersonal and is macro in scale."* No, I'm not. A Melting pot is a macro effect of people making their own choices. It's the collective effect of all of them together. Genocide, on the other hand, requires that there be an individual or party that has deliberate intent to eliminate a culture. It also requires that they do so by murdering constituents of that culture rather than merely persuading individuals to choose something else. *"We're not talking about people's affinity for classical music or eating waffles, we're talking about the genetic integrity of a RACE of PEOPLE."* We might as well be. The "genetic integrity of a race of people" is no more significant than an affinity for classical music or eating waffles. It's only important as far as it's important to individuals. If you are one who finds this important, then you are perfectly free to choose a mate with genetics to match your preference, if you like. You can even establish family traditions to persuade your future generations to value the "genetic integrity" of your ancestors. You can persuade others of "like genetics" to form a commune on private land. Outside of these options, you're probably going to be trampling on the rights of others, and let's face it, "genetic integrity" really isn't nearly important enough to justify that. Also, if you are concerned about "genetic integrity" then you are the definition of a racist. *"And here you're basically just saying that nobody has the FREEDOM to simply reject the presence of people unlike themselves - that's the very definition of tyranny there, that's not freedom at all."* No, rejecting the presence of people unlike yourself is the definition of tyranny. You don't have a right to tyranny, therefore you are not free to reject the presence of people who are unlike you from accessing spaces that are open to the public. *"Without the freedom to associate with whom we choose, there is no freedom."* You do have freedom to choose whom you associate with, as far as it doesn't restrict the rights of others. Your freedom ends where your tyranny begins. It doesn't mean there is NO freedom, it just means that one's freedom doesn't take precedence over the freedom of another. "But it's only Caucasoids who are being told that they have "White Privilege" and that they must atone for it by supporting their own literal annihilation." I'm not one to push the idea of White Privilege. There was a time when white privilege was rampant, and it was a big problem in America, but these days it's only the distant dream of guys like you. None of the talk of "white privilege" is really amounting to anything these days, so it's kind of a non-issue. Also, I don't see a big problem of people calling for "Caucasoids" to "support their own literal annihilation". I think your being a bit dramatic. I do see a problem of racism against Caucasians, though I'm not sure that it's a major problem. Idiotic movements like BLM tend to step back when they get called out on these things, which happens pretty much every time.
Do you forget that Trump allegedly raped a lot of women including underage child? Nothing Trump says is more worth than a fart, he's the sickest guy in history!
Oh ffs this is getting ridiculous. Since when did we women loose the ability to push a man away and say back the fuck off buddy? If we treat ALL incidents of unwanted attention as equally immoral then we start to lose sight of quite how serious a sex crime can be.
I'm actually really shy talking to women. I feel like this has always been a negative quality for me to have. But now that I have learned that men are luring women into rooms and start masturbating in front of them or are groping or raping them I realize being shy really isn't the worst thing in the world. I just find it disturbing this is what some people think is acceptable behaviour.
I always acted like a perfect church boy my entire childhood and adolescent life. Even into my early twenties I always treated the pussy with respect and dignity and was able to ignore the voice of my penis. Like all other perfect men out there. In fact, the very first time I ever masturbated was in my 30's and I politely asked if it would be alright with the first woman I was ever naked with if it would be acceptable to ejaculate. She said no and I have never touched or dreamed about touching another woman ever again.
I'd call it a half admission. He's not apologizing because he thinks he did something wrong, he's apologizing because the woman "misinterpreted" his actions.
Marius Taylor I accept the position. I'll be the best senator they've ever had. Especially since my high school diploma would make me the most educated man in Alabama. Of course, I'm too young to be a senator and I don't live in Alabama, but I doubt anyone there knows the prerequisites. Plus, I'm white, so they won't make up a conspiracy theory about me being a Kenyan Muslim Nazi Jew Atheist reptilian from space.
NickTheGreatAndPowerful i know you're talking about Republicans but it's funny because it's conflicting a Kenyan couldn't be a nazi and Islam, jewdism, and athiesm are all different religions and of course reptile haha
Ha! Anyone else remember the time Stephen played a counterfeiter on Law & Order? He was selling fake documents upon which he forged signatures of Abraham Lincoln. Just a weird little connection tying into his impromptu handwriting analysis.
Chino Wantan and Creepy Joe Biden. and Weinstein. and SPACEY. and the Podestas. and Bill the Rapist. and Senator Bob Menendez. and Louis c.k. and Weiner. etc. etc.... ETC.
+Autist McGuybro Wrong. None of them are. barely any of them are even charged, and those are out on bail, idiot. Plus, Roy Moore never actually had any influence to intimidate and harass these women, because HE'S NOT A POLITICAL GIANT, HOLLYWOOD MOVIE MAKER, OR ANYTHING AT A HIGH LEVEL WHATSOEVER. This is all a con to get his ass *right before the fucking election.*
I think Al Franken's case is the first big issue that has come up since Trump has been elected with any kind of complexity to the debate. On one hand, Franken has apologized, the woman he hurt accepted that apology and is explicitly not calling for a seat change, the senator has called for his own investigation instead of diverting and denying, and in a utilitarian sense Franken will likely be more favorable to women's rights than a general election challenger would be. On the other, he really shouldn't have fucking done that.
Sean I agree, but I don't think we should just "forget" and say "oh it's ok franken we get it you're fine". He should be still be shamed for what he did even if he apologized.
Here's a novel idea: women are people too, and have the right to person hood and to not be seen as objects for your please, unless consenting to it.. But I guess this is a generational thing by the looks of. At least mostly :/
Woman should be put in charge of making laws that regard their own safety as well as how to change the furture generation of men. Better morals and ethics would solve everything.
Is it just me, or did Jon Batiste just mumble the last bit of this Mos Def lyric from his song 'Mathematics'? 5:38 "Young bloods can't spell but they could rock you at PlayStation"? ... Awesome.
You're amazing Steve! Love your catch on the subtleties! I recently moved to a southern world that astounds me regularly for its lost, backward sicknesses (gender, race, class, nostalgia over the really bad "good ole days". Problem is, they all got cell phones... wont give em up to go back to a non-existent Great U$A. We drag them along.
I'm so glad Stephen actively calls out these people and the stupidity surrounding people who try to gloss over sexual predation not enough of this happens in the media 😪😫
Does this supposed "sexual assault" mean that now Franken is extremely qualified to run for and be elected to the office of President like the current pervert in chief? I sure hope so. It has been commented that, #1 - she has on a kevlar flack jacket....WOW, bet he got a really good feel (even without making physical contact), #2 - sure he probably kissed her with some overkill - both stupid and not funny, more of an immature high school type prank. #3 - How many men would take a photograph of supposedly assaulting a woman and #4 - where did she get and why did she keep the photograph if it was so offensive and painful and why did it appear at such a convenient time? Where is the photographer and why is he/she not speaking up about the situation? Really dumb Al, but not criminal. I'm embarrassed because I do think he's a good Senator and works hard to represent his constituents. This would be laughed out of court as sexual assault. Sexual assault implies sex does it not? Yes, sexual harassment perhaps, but here are the clinchers - Franken admitted his stupidity - I don't think 50 or 60 women or men will come out of the woodwork like they have with Clinton, Trump, Spacey, Cosby, Weinstein or Moore - he didn't drug, liquor up or rape anyone - there was no under age assault - he admitted, apologized and suggested it be investigated rather than evade (unlike Billy Bob who said "I did NOT have sex with that woman" or the claim of consent under the influence of date rape drugs like Cosby or outright denial like Moore) and did not screw around on his wife (singular as opposed to Trump). Franken did something dumb and immature and I can bet 90% of men have done something equally dumb or far worse. Why not take 90% of men to court and fire them from THEIR jobs, including many commenting here, because they acted stupidly? Sexual harassment is wrong and sexual assault far worse. Women must speak up and punishment must be appropriate and PROPORTIONATE. I experienced my superior at work (a doctor) grabbing my breasts once in a deserted elevator. I broke his nose on the spot. Case closed. Avoided me like the plague after that. What would he do, accuse me of punching him? Go ahead and the reason would have come out. Hahahaha! That gave the power to ME, not him. He would have been censured or even fired. That's one way of solving the problem but that can't always be done when someone's job is at stake. This woman could have done that if she was so incensed. He had no power over her, especially with witnesses. Women need to FIGHT harassers at the time if possible, but it's not always possible due to the strength of the man, his power over her and other factors. Meanwhile it is terribly convenient that this came up at a time to divert from Roy Moore, an obviously depraved pedophile with multiple accusers. Also, how can Ivanka say "My father loves women" and then condemn Moore to "A special place in hell" in the same breath when her father is a proven sex offender? It must also be noted that Democrats have condemned their own while Republicans have to have their arms twisted to condemn Moore and, above all, Trump.
Susie Q nice mental gymnastics to justify franken. Clearly you haven't seen his standup. Not that any of the other sexual offenders you named deserve any respect, but holy shit pull your head out of the DNC's ass.
Baron - I'm not even an American nor am I a member of any political party. What Franken did was stupid, juvenile and wrong. Nothing justifies it. It was, however, not rape or violent abuse or proven (thus far) to be a serial type of behaviour. Have you ever pulled a prank or disrespected women (like telling them to get their head our of the DNC's ass)? Bet you have. He should be made to do public service, fined or whatever, whereas a pedophile banned from a shopping mall for picking up underage kids (Moore) is a far greater danger as are serial molesters like Trump or Bill Clinton or JFK. There, is that apolitical enough for you? Pull your head out of the GOP's ass. BTW, I think a head up the ass would be classified as sexual assault. :) BTW, I'm 68 so I likely have seen more of Franken than you - since the 70's on SNL.
As a former Al Franken supporter, you are completly wrong, and every man who does anything like what he did should never be elected to any office, and in Al's case, impeached.
Drunken Mongoose - That is because I have a greater intellect than you and can compose actual paragraphs containing more than monosyllabic words. It seems I do have a few more thumbs up than you so I guess someone agrees. :) Now, feel free to point out the hypocrisy. Good luck.
Al franksen really made me frustrated ..I love AL franksen and I still do a lot ....I am disappointed but you know what , he owned up and apologized...Props
You're missing the point! It was a joking picture and a rehearsal kiss. How does that EVEN REMOTELY compare to chasing 14 year olds and attempting to rape 16 year olds, in the case of Moore, or grabbing women by the genitals, in the case of Trump???
Baritone45 uhm did I compare it ?? I was just really disappointed because of what he did do.,,I love him and it was a shock to see the picture ...sure it’s not as bad as Moore or trump but he did something wrong..like I said he’s apologized, owned up to it and moved on...that’s over
But the difference between the GOP and Democrats is the Democrats *acknowledge their mistakes and apologizes for it* not deny and reference Adam and Eve, I mean for fuck sakes.
kevinmuehl Muehlkevin I agree. And I'm afraid there will be people who will take advantage of the situation by shaming the predators from the left to raise political points among their followers and audience, instead of being fair.
Ryu Cartel Don't worry I know it won't happen either , at best Trump will be forced out kicking and screaming sometime late in his second term ( my prediction) . It's more exciting under Trump anyways and I'm Canadian so I don't even go to America lol .
Clarence Spangle Only steers and queers come from Texas and you don't sound much like a steer to me so I guess that kinda narrows it down . ( how's your brother Clovus?)

Ashmita Nandy I swear.
You’re welcome
Pretty sure it has to do with the fact it was about one subject where they couldn't cut.
Ashmita Nandy lmbo 😆😆absolutely
Ashmita Nandy.....yes....so now we get a whole lot Moore!!
The Bring It On reference is one of the most brilliant responses I have ever heard in my life.
NewhamMatt • I hadn’t heard that before Colbert. (One of the...) Best. Retorts. Ever!!
Plus his name is Chris Hansen, it's too perfect.
NewhamMatt ikr
Reminds me of when I was 15 and a busser at a diner in a small town (my first job), and these old guys asked me if I was "still a virgin." (People don't realize how common sexual harassment is, and how easy it is for people to turn a blind eye)
So true, and so disturbing. I think most women have at least one story. And if they say they don't, they are kidding themselves.
I grew up homeschooled (somewhat sheltered) so I didn't hear it so much in high school. College was different. Most guys are the decent sort, but there are a few out there who really need to grow up.
Thats just people being weird assholes sexual harrasment seems silly sexual assault is what is awful and should be publically shamed and that kind of behaviour towarss anyone should have conequences
Google User I have incidents like that throughout my entire life since age 10. men are vulgar.
@@MeredithAnne88 Tbh that can be said for women too, some people just need to grow up
I still don't understand how they can support Moore.
I love women! Not meaning to use a sexist cliché, but I think it's great women are finally cleaning up Hollywood and corrupt politicians!!
Xtoriez Novel agree
I sincerely hope Colbert and Stewart haven't done anything like this. It would break my heart.
Notthedroids Yourelookingfor: Well Colbert was buddies with the Podestas.
Though I dont like Jon Stewarts political drive now, he seems a good guy, he always made me laugh; but has an integrity about him missing from Colbert.
I think Colbert would sell him grandma for power/riches.
I was just thinkin' about this... and if a girl would scream "wolf, wolf"... it will be her words against Colbert words... where are the proof?
My biggest fear is that from the right empowerment, justice and respect that women deserve we can go back to a sort of McCarthyism...
Notthedroids Yourelookingfor LOL.. SINCE COLBERT HANGS OUT WITH PEDOPHILES.....
Notthedroids Yourelookingfor I actually JUST thought the same thing. Would be heartbreaking.
I never thought that Frank would do something like that.. or CK. But they did. I feel bad this day's
This particular Chris Hansen: Bring It On is a movie about high school cheerleaders.
Moore: High school cheerleaders? Where?
Why don't you have a seat, right over there?
That guy says that he's been in over 100 meetings with Roy Moore, 'and been around probably in excess of 10,000 different ladies?!?' Unless he counts all the random different women they passed by on the street, that makes an average of 100 women per meeting. What the hell were those 'meetings', beauty pageants?
He's bad at math. It's a Republican thing.
Kelly-Anne Conway said the other day (re: a photo of Trump and George Papadopolous in a cabinet meeting) "he's been in thousands of photos with millions of people."
1,000 people per photo?
Phil Armstead
It is called hyperbole ( in this case exaggeration for entertainment). And is not intended to be taken as the truth.

With this many high profile sexual harassers.... think about how many low profile sexual harassers there are
Reina Weinstock Thank you...

6:54 oh god Chris Hansen posted that replying to Roy! Could that be any more perfect!
Wait never mind its the head of some political committee. If it was Chris Hansen from To Catch a Predator that would’ve been perfect
I know and at first glance I thought it was Chris Hansen also, from To Catch a Predator - which would've just made it ten times more delicious:):)
Bring It On is a movie about high school cheerleaders. That was awesome, out of the park!
So is he getting locked up? Teachers get locked up all the time for dating underage kids.
Stephen Colbert was just savage xD
Xdont
Roy Moore calling a girl in trig class? Gross
6:25
"The Senate is like a box of chocolates... they all end up going straight to your ass."
Thank you for uncut monologue
It's only uncut, because the whole monologue was about one topic, so there was no feasible way to split it up.
This sort of thing shouldn't be happening at the highest levels of government.
It shouldn't be happening at all, but it's that much worse when it's people in charge of the legislature.
It’s been happening for such a long time now. It’s been here and it’s nothing new
So you mean Roy Moore actually called the principal's office to speak to a minor and the principal allowed it. Wow the state of family values
Mitch McConnell looks like Kermit the Frog when he was watching Cookie Monster try to guess what an orange was.
Did Moore accept the job offer from "Barely Legal"? THAT is his dream job and his true calling.
thepsychologistvjdj except she was 16 you dumb shit.
Much better when the Monologue isn't split into 3 videos :)
Sweet Tea has a very good grasp of the issues.

I'm not sure what your comment has to do with this thread, but let me spell it out for you.
EVERYONE is a "social category" in one way or another. It's simply a way of talking about social issues and isn't dehumanizing in any way.
No one has or should have the right to exclude anyone (except perhaps criminals and enemies of the state) from "their" communities.
If you think a melting pot is the same thing as genocide, then you are probably the most shallow racist alive, and that pool runs pretty damn shallow. A melting pot is just the natural outcome of people living the way they want to live and making the choices they want to make. It's freedom at its finest, and that's what the USA is all about, so deal with it.
If that means that "white culture" or any culture for that matter dies out because people just aren't interested in it anymore, then que sara.
*"No, you're talking about this like it's something of a personal nature on a micro scale, White GeNocide is transpersonal and is macro in scale."*
No, I'm not. A Melting pot is a macro effect of people making their own choices. It's the collective effect of all of them together. Genocide, on the other hand, requires that there be an individual or party that has deliberate intent to eliminate a culture. It also requires that they do so by murdering constituents of that culture rather than merely persuading individuals to choose something else.
*"We're not talking about people's affinity for classical music or eating waffles, we're talking about the genetic integrity of a RACE of PEOPLE."*
We might as well be. The "genetic integrity of a race of people" is no more significant than an affinity for classical music or eating waffles. It's only important as far as it's important to individuals.
If you are one who finds this important, then you are perfectly free to choose a mate with genetics to match your preference, if you like. You can even establish family traditions to persuade your future generations to value the "genetic integrity" of your ancestors. You can persuade others of "like genetics" to form a commune on private land. Outside of these options, you're probably going to be trampling on the rights of others, and let's face it, "genetic integrity" really isn't nearly important enough to justify that.
Also, if you are concerned about "genetic integrity" then you are the definition of a racist.
*"And here you're basically just saying that nobody has the FREEDOM to simply reject the presence of people unlike themselves - that's the very definition of tyranny there, that's not freedom at all."*
No, rejecting the presence of people unlike yourself is the definition of tyranny. You don't have a right to tyranny, therefore you are not free to reject the presence of people who are unlike you from accessing spaces that are open to the public.
*"Without the freedom to associate with whom we choose, there is no freedom."*
You do have freedom to choose whom you associate with, as far as it doesn't restrict the rights of others. Your freedom ends where your tyranny begins. It doesn't mean there is NO freedom, it just means that one's freedom doesn't take precedence over the freedom of another.
"But it's only Caucasoids who are being told that they have "White Privilege" and that they must atone for it by supporting their own literal annihilation."
I'm not one to push the idea of White Privilege. There was a time when white privilege was rampant, and it was a big problem in America, but these days it's only the distant dream of guys like you. None of the talk of "white privilege" is really amounting to anything these days, so it's kind of a non-issue.
Also, I don't see a big problem of people calling for "Caucasoids" to "support their own literal annihilation". I think your being a bit dramatic. I do see a problem of racism against Caucasians, though I'm not sure that it's a major problem. Idiotic movements like BLM tend to step back when they get called out on these things, which happens pretty much every time.
The Rogue Wolf jj put
Just repulsive. America is in a terrible place.
Aww man, it's a huge missed opportunity he didn't bring up the time he was an evil calligrapher on Law and Order
“That’s what I love about Highschool girls, I keep getting older but they stay the same” ~Roy Moore 1977
Just so you know Trump said Franken was a sick person even though Trump himself bragged about sexually harassing women on the Access Hollywood tape.
Ahh the irony
Do you forget that Trump allegedly raped a lot of women including underage child? Nothing Trump says is more worth than a fart, he's the sickest guy in history!
and Trump said nothing about Moore
So the women that accuse Trump we shouldn't believe? smh
223Drone It's time to play that "But what about?" game the Trump team likes to play so much.
Franken x Weinstein = Frankenstein, what a universe.
Well.. both turned out to be monsters.. you have something there.
Moore + Trump = Mooretrump
You did well
+New Message ok now, that's going too far. Al Franken made a mistake, but he's far from a monster.
DC.
For a comedy fan you sure have trouble recognizing a simple play on words joke.
Family Values = Roy Moore values dating your whole family. LOL
Roy Moore sounds like an unsub on Criminal Minds.
quick; get on the horn w/ the producers over there and hammer out a deal!
Oh ffs this is getting ridiculous. Since when did we women loose the ability to push a man away and say back the fuck off buddy? If we treat ALL incidents of unwanted attention as equally immoral then we start to lose sight of quite how serious a sex crime can be.
America has become a shameful country.
It always was.
How did Moore EVER get elected to Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court? TWICE?!
Kas van 't Land great question. The answer is simple by voting suppression, gerymanderine, in other words cheating. Just like Trump did.
I'm actually really shy talking to women. I feel like this has always been a negative quality for me to have. But now that I have learned that men are luring women into rooms and start masturbating in front of them or are groping or raping them I realize being shy really isn't the worst thing in the world. I just find it disturbing this is what some people think is acceptable behaviour.
Stephen Should Have Had His Own Show LONG AGO !!!!! HE IS HYSTERICAL !!!!!!!
He did. It was on Comedy Central called the Colbert Report.
I am Donald's inflamed sense of Impeachment.
I am Melania's swatting hand.
Franken and Moore's acts aren't even Moore or less the same, lets try and avoid confounding the fondlers.
I find your word play and puns upsetting and refreshing.
A fish swims in the river, it's looking for food. He starves. This is sad. I think fish are cool. And tasty
Is anyone not immediately filing legislation to raise Alabama age of consent?

You can tell that Colbert was not enjoying this. It was too much for him to have to try and joke about.
im sorry Colbert but the best joke tonight is from Chris Hansen 6:53 well the hemorrhoid was a close call

Mr. Plinkett teehee
I always acted like a perfect church boy my entire childhood and adolescent life. Even into my early twenties I always treated the pussy with respect and dignity and was able to ignore the voice of my penis. Like all other perfect men out there. In fact, the very first time I ever masturbated was in my 30's and I politely asked if it would be alright with the first woman I was ever naked with if it would be acceptable to ejaculate. She said no and I have never touched or dreamed about touching another woman ever again.
Ninj Chelonia Exactly. I shall forever never become a pervert no matter how much porn I watch and hide.
Rick Hiller ewww... Its you again
Gway... Gway you
Trig being the "more appealing option" had me crying!! :-DDD Saved by math!
At least Franken admits it, not denying or deflecting
I'd call it a half admission. He's not apologizing because he thinks he did something wrong, he's apologizing because the woman "misinterpreted" his actions.
Much love from all your fans in India Stephen! You're big here ❤

Yeaaah! Bangalore represent!!
hi India, Thailand here!!! (Indian Ocean side, Andaman Sea)
So according to Alabama all i need to run for office is GLASSES and HEMORRHOIDS??? DAFAQ???
Marius Taylor
I accept the position. I'll be the best senator they've ever had. Especially since my high school diploma would make me the most educated man in Alabama. Of course, I'm too young to be a senator and I don't live in Alabama, but I doubt anyone there knows the prerequisites. Plus, I'm white, so they won't make up a conspiracy theory about me being a Kenyan Muslim Nazi Jew Atheist reptilian from space.
NickTheGreatAndPowerful i know you're talking about Republicans but it's funny because it's conflicting a Kenyan couldn't be a nazi and Islam, jewdism, and athiesm are all different religions and of course reptile haha
Marius Taylor for fucks sake all of Alabama isn't like this. Fuck Roy Moore and all the child molesting bigots that live there.
You also need to wave the Bible around a lot.
You don't need hemorrhoids to have a "concerned look", you just need to remember that press conference.
Ha! Anyone else remember the time Stephen played a counterfeiter on Law & Order? He was selling fake documents upon which he forged signatures of Abraham Lincoln.
Just a weird little connection tying into his impromptu handwriting analysis.
thepopeofatheism okay so i guess you're fine with the actors of Greys Anatomy doing your life saving surgery
You forgot the ultimate candidate for Alabama Kate McKinnon on SNL she played Jeff sessions as Forrest gump .
You know. If Al Franken goes to jail Roy Moore needs to also
b... but.... but clinton?
Chino Wantan he was a but guy ?
Chino Wantan and Creepy Joe Biden. and Weinstein. and SPACEY. and the Podestas. and Bill the Rapist. and Senator Bob Menendez. and Louis c.k. and Weiner. etc. etc.... ETC.
b...b...but *ALL OF FUCKING HOLLYWOOD DUMBASS*
+Autist McGuybro Wrong. None of them are. barely any of them are even charged, and those are out on bail, idiot. Plus, Roy Moore never actually had any influence to intimidate and harass these women, because HE'S NOT A POLITICAL GIANT, HOLLYWOOD MOVIE MAKER, OR ANYTHING AT A HIGH LEVEL WHATSOEVER. This is all a con to get his ass *right before the fucking election.*
“That’s impressive. Roy Moore actually made trigonometry the more appealing option.”
So for those Trump supporters want Al Franken to be remove at the same time if fare to remove rapists in chief.
And Moore to drop his race. The victims of moore and trump needs to sue their asses so they can't govern this country.
This two monsters needs to be in Brazil prison so they can be rape by a broom in daily basis and remove them on planet earth for eternity.

But did Moore ask the 28 year old's mother for permission first?
wonder what the father said if asked?
I love Stephen Colbert.
I think Al Franken's case is the first big issue that has come up since Trump has been elected with any kind of complexity to the debate. On one hand, Franken has apologized, the woman he hurt accepted that apology and is explicitly not calling for a seat change, the senator has called for his own investigation instead of diverting and denying, and in a utilitarian sense Franken will likely be more favorable to women's rights than a general election challenger would be. On the other, he really shouldn't have fucking done that.
Sean I agree, but I don't think we should just "forget" and say "oh it's ok franken we get it you're fine". He should be still be shamed for what he did even if he apologized.
Jon Batiste's face though when Stephen made the joke at the end! Priceless!!!
"Of course you didn't! ... They were 'ladies', not teenagers!"
😭😭😭😭😭😭 inspiration for the sad emoji 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 issa win
are all the stereotypes about the south true - are they *really* that behind the times?
Benzaiten not everyone by any means. Just a higher concentration in the higher places of power.
Yes they are I’m a northern but living in
south for now and it so behind in every way. Yes in AL
I have 1gb up and down only good part
No we aren’t. They just want you to think that we incompetent and stupid.
Here's a novel idea: women are people too, and have the right to person hood and to not be seen as objects for your please, unless consenting to it..
But I guess this is a generational thing by the looks of. At least mostly :/
6:51 "Chris Hansen" that's perfect
Goddamnit, Al Franken. Do you know how hard it is to find politicians I actually like?
Woman should be put in charge of making laws that regard their own safety as well as how to change the furture generation of men.
Better morals and ethics would solve everything.
Vishen Bhoonpershad while it will be a little more complicated than I do agree
The world can't help but look down at the immoral states of America.
Lugmillord still better than Europe. A couple of shady politicians isn't anything new.
Quality politians you got there Murica, whats next Trump sayin it's all a JOKE ?!

Next is Trudeau paying 10 million dollars to a terro--
You gotta love Jon Battiste's subtle but efficient musical additions to Stephen's mime jokes. They work soooo well! Kudos Jon !
I love how he mentioned Malala, and I just saw her coming out of lecture today. I should've asked her what she's hiding.
Stephen Colbert nails it!
Did anyone get the Mos Def reference at 5:39?
Everyone should thumb up this comment
Can't spell but rock you at PlayStation.
Analytical1 yes! Mighty mos
A divided house means that it was united before so it will be united again
Say about Batiste what you want, but that reaction at 10:55 is a perfect representation of all of our reactions at the Moore story.
That confused “woo?” from the audience is hilarious hahaha
Is it just me, or did Jon Batiste just mumble the last bit of this Mos Def lyric from his song 'Mathematics'? 5:38
"Young bloods can't spell but they could rock you at PlayStation"? ... Awesome.
sexysniper232 OHHHH YOU'RE RIGHT!!!! ok, huuuuuge props to Jon (tho it's not really relevant to Colbert's point ha)
"Roy Moore made Trig a better option" XD
You're amazing Steve! Love your catch on the subtleties! I recently moved to a southern world that astounds me regularly for its lost, backward sicknesses (gender, race, class, nostalgia over the really bad "good ole days". Problem is, they all got cell phones... wont give em up to go back to a non-existent Great U$A. We drag them along.
I'm so glad Stephen actively calls out these people and the stupidity surrounding people who try to gloss over sexual predation not enough of this happens in the media 😪😫
Another EXCELLENT monologue by our successor (after Letterman), Stephen Colbert!!
Colbert is the funniest bastard 😆😆from all your mates in Australia !
Rick Hiller I hope you are trolling and not actually fucked in the head.
Does this supposed "sexual assault" mean that now Franken is extremely qualified to run for and be elected to the office of President like the current pervert in chief? I sure hope so. It has been commented that, #1 - she has on a kevlar flack jacket....WOW, bet he got a really good feel (even without making physical contact), #2 - sure he probably kissed her with some overkill - both stupid and not funny, more of an immature high school type prank. #3 - How many men would take a photograph of supposedly assaulting a woman and #4 - where did she get and why did she keep the photograph if it was so offensive and painful and why did it appear at such a convenient time? Where is the photographer and why is he/she not speaking up about the situation?
Really dumb Al, but not criminal. I'm embarrassed because I do think he's a good Senator and works hard to represent his constituents. This would be laughed out of court as sexual assault. Sexual assault implies sex does it not? Yes, sexual harassment perhaps, but here are the clinchers - Franken admitted his stupidity - I don't think 50 or 60 women or men will come out of the woodwork like they have with Clinton, Trump, Spacey, Cosby, Weinstein or Moore - he didn't drug, liquor up or rape anyone - there was no under age assault - he admitted, apologized and suggested it be investigated rather than evade (unlike Billy Bob who said "I did NOT have sex with that woman" or the claim of consent under the influence of date rape drugs like Cosby or outright denial like Moore) and did not screw around on his wife (singular as opposed to Trump). Franken did something dumb and immature and I can bet 90% of men have done something equally dumb or far worse. Why not take 90% of men to court and fire them from THEIR jobs, including many commenting here, because they acted stupidly? Sexual harassment is wrong and sexual assault far worse. Women must speak up and punishment must be appropriate and PROPORTIONATE.
I experienced my superior at work (a doctor) grabbing my breasts once in a deserted elevator. I broke his nose on the spot. Case closed. Avoided me like the plague after that. What would he do, accuse me of punching him? Go ahead and the reason would have come out. Hahahaha! That gave the power to ME, not him. He would have been censured or even fired. That's one way of solving the problem but that can't always be done when someone's job is at stake. This woman could have done that if she was so incensed. He had no power over her, especially with witnesses. Women need to FIGHT harassers at the time if possible, but it's not always possible due to the strength of the man, his power over her and other factors.
Meanwhile it is terribly convenient that this came up at a time to divert from Roy Moore, an obviously depraved pedophile with multiple accusers. Also, how can Ivanka say "My father loves women" and then condemn Moore to "A special place in hell" in the same breath when her father is a proven sex offender? It must also be noted that Democrats have condemned their own while Republicans have to have their arms twisted to condemn Moore and, above all, Trump.
Susie Q nice mental gymnastics to justify franken. Clearly you haven't seen his standup. Not that any of the other sexual offenders you named deserve any respect, but holy shit pull your head out of the DNC's ass.
Baron - I'm not even an American nor am I a member of any political party. What Franken did was stupid, juvenile and wrong. Nothing justifies it. It was, however, not rape or violent abuse or proven (thus far) to be a serial type of behaviour. Have you ever pulled a prank or disrespected women (like telling them to get their head our of the DNC's ass)? Bet you have. He should be made to do public service, fined or whatever, whereas a pedophile banned from a shopping mall for picking up underage kids (Moore) is a far greater danger as are serial molesters like Trump or Bill Clinton or JFK. There, is that apolitical enough for you? Pull your head out of the GOP's ass. BTW, I think a head up the ass would be classified as sexual assault. :)
BTW, I'm 68 so I likely have seen more of Franken than you - since the 70's on SNL.
Susie Q
Amazingly, it took you four paragraphs to show your hypocrisy. Others in this comment section did it with one sentence.
As a former Al Franken supporter, you are completly wrong, and every man who does anything like what he did should never be elected to any office, and in Al's case, impeached.
Drunken Mongoose - That is because I have a greater intellect than you and can compose actual paragraphs containing more than monosyllabic words. It seems I do have a few more thumbs up than you so I guess someone agrees. :) Now, feel free to point out the hypocrisy. Good luck.
Al franksen really made me frustrated ..I love AL franksen and I still do a lot ....I am disappointed but you know what , he owned up and apologized...Props
You're missing the point! It was a joking picture and a rehearsal kiss. How does that EVEN REMOTELY compare to chasing 14 year olds and attempting to rape 16 year olds, in the case of Moore, or grabbing women by the genitals, in the case of Trump???
Baritone45 uhm did I compare it ?? I was just really disappointed because of what he did do.,,I love him and it was a shock to see the picture ...sure it’s not as bad as Moore or trump but he did something wrong..like I said he’s apologized, owned up to it and moved on...that’s over
“This man wants to die for his senate candidacy and love of young girls... oblige him.”
“I have no problem letting this happen, because I’m terrible at me job”😂
it's better when you don't cut the intro monologs into many videos. this format is better.
But the difference between the GOP and Democrats is the Democrats *acknowledge their mistakes and apologizes for it* not deny and reference Adam and Eve, I mean for fuck sakes.
kevinmuehl Muehlkevin I agree. And I'm afraid there will be people who will take advantage of the situation by shaming the predators from the left to raise political points among their followers and audience, instead of being fair.
the hypocrisy and double standard is unreal.. expecting a "WHATABOUT BILL CLINTON" comment LOL
Mueller locks up Trump, Mueller gets Nobel Peace Prize, we..... celebrate!! 🍸
Bill Hampton and then you awaken from your dream. As much as I’d like to see that happen, I doubt it. At this rate anyway.
There is about 0% chance Trump doesn’t finish his term and about 10% chance he doesn’t go into a second term
Ryu Cartel Don't worry I know it won't happen either , at best Trump will be forced out kicking and screaming sometime late in his second term ( my prediction) . It's more exciting under Trump anyways and I'm Canadian so I don't even go to America lol .
S B The last several U.S. presidents have been two term so Trump will do two terms likely too .
Clarence Spangle Only steers and queers come from Texas and you don't sound much like a steer to me so I guess that kinda narrows it down . ( how's your brother Clovus?)
3:30 brings a while new meaning to "pull up your pants boy, this isn't red lobster"
Well at least he’s admitting that sexual harassment and abuse isn’t yet another stupid “partisan” issue... 🙄🙄🙄
I wish gun control was as poplar as this.
anyone catch Jon Batiste's Mos Def reference @ 5:39??
He apologized for it, she accepted the apology.
I loved the rebuttal to "bring it on". It's just a prefect response.
“I’m in trig class” should be the new excuse for everything.
‘Sorry I can’t come to your birthday party, I’m in trig class’
