The Terrorists Who Attacked Congress At The President's Direction Came Prepared To Kill
Stephen didn't get a lot of sleep last weekend, as horrific scenes from last week's violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol played over and again in his head. It now appears clear that the armed mob, who were organized and cheered on by the president and his GOP backers in the House and Senate, came to the nation's capital prepared to commit acts of violence against members of Congress and Vice President Mike Pence.

A failed coup that goes unpunished becomes a training exercise.
Lots of false flags have been training exercises
Spot on 👍👌
Precisely!!!
Seen this too many places
It was a dumb riot. Not a coup attempt. Just look at most of the morons just wandering about doing stupid stuff. There was no plan for pretty much all those people there. You really think viking tosser was dressed for combat and serious business? Pay attention, ffs.
There is one and only one thing I have learned over the last four years: “NEVER think things have hit rock bottom already”
Thought we had hit rock bottom, then found out rock bottom had a basement
Literally said this to a colleague at work - it can ALWAYS get worse 🙃
Yep. Never underestimate the chance things could get even worse, or the ability of humans to do even stupider stuff than you ever thought possible.
@@eyeonit469 Then rock bottom’s basement has a dungeon.
And it still hasn't reached the bottom yet. Not by a long shot.
"It's not a Coincidence, it's a Consequence." Honestly, this is the wisest, quickest way to sum up everything. Did anyone else feel any resonance, or a sense of impact when he said that? Chills.😮
Sinclair Lewis's quote: "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross" seems prophetic now in relation to Trump and Pence.
Indeed. However, I share Arnold Schwarzenegger's optimism. This nation has been through hell in its 280+ years. Wars, racism, insurrection, the country has gone through the kind of shit that would break most nations. We'll get through this, so long as the majority continues to stand against the fascists. Also, I'd like to take a victory lap for being able to spell Schwarzenegger's last name.
Actually no, he never wrote or said that according to the Sinclair Lewis society website. But don't feel bad, I'm sure real facts confuse and scare you.
The quote is of unknown origin, but Sinclair Lewis had plenty to say in his book "It Can't Happen Here." www.snopes.com/fact-check/sinclair-lewis-on-fascism/ Seems the closest we can find is James Waterman Wise Jr. in 1936: James Waterman Wise, Jr., in a recent address here before the liberal John Reed club said that Hearst and Coughlin are the two chief exponents of fascism in America. If fascism comes, he added, it will not be identified with any “shirt” movement, nor with an “insignia,” but it will probably be “wrapped up in the American flag and heralded as a plea for liberty and preservation of the constitution.” Sounds like the GOP in a nutshell, really. Wrap themselves in the flag, pretend to be the only patriots, and push their dogma under the guise of constitutionalism.
Mitch McConnell is Emperor Palpatine Some of you will die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make! - Lord Trump @Justin Y. Trump is evil. He ignored this virus until he couldn't ignore it...the steps taken have been deliberately slow to contain this virus, as the government has made huge financial gains in allowing particularly older, retired people to die...no more pay outs each month...voting, if still valid in this country...is our only peaceful, legal recourse...voting 3rd party is the ONLY WAY to get real humans in power, rather than dynasty families and career politicians. When we realize the 2 parties we are divided over LOVE the division among us...then and only then may America be great again... @Justin Y. Lack of knowledge of the deep state? I just accused our government of mass murder...I understand deep state...fact that you refuse to listen, only attack, says too much about you...clearly you haven't known hardship. Clearly none of this has impacted you negatively...you are part of the problem, offering zero solutions. @Justin Y. Calling me stupid really helps your case...Trump has very limited brain power, as evidenced by his rambling, generally repetitive, toddler talks...although most of us are sorely undereducated, Trump really amazes me every time i listen to his banter. Trump did not close the borders in time, many flights to the USA brought sick folk here. Action wasn't taken until very late February, and by then 15 confirmed cases were more than enough to basically allow what amounts to airborn, quickly lethal AIDS《why this? (Because this virus mutates too fast to create an effective vaccine, which may never get made), upon the world. This is dangerous because common behaviors of common folk, such as shoulder to shoulder events, shopping and sardine packed working conditions, helped this virus along...even as people died in China daily...America went forward 2 full months wothout any concerns...then...rather than force the hands of state officials, and put the population through a 2 month quarantine, we've been seeing states react, rather than prepare...and all at the natural stages this virus thrives on...complacency among enough of us to allow the spread to continue. You refusing to see this logic isn't a blight on my mental capacity, just proves you are as simple as our Lord Trump...and likely among those very few, who like many elites, don't even understand the plight of the masses, whom I speak for, in this contrived crisis...Trump is calm about the virus because he exists outside the bounds of common folk...Trump and other powerful people would never have to take the risk of infection seriously as they are all well protected by expendable servants or can at the least afford to continue living lavishly and distanced from peons such as myself. 9/11 was an inside job and this proves what I've feared since then...that the government can perform mass murder and the people will always just accept it, hire the next sociopath in line, whichever of the 2 evil divisionary parties they aspire to dwell in... Our educational system is archaic. We could be educating everyone from home...there are no valid excuses for our current broken schooling, and no teachers need lose jobs...as the internet is an amazing communication device... Taxes are broken. Your dollar earned gets hit so many times...and we all just accept that blindly. Medicine is broken. My grandmother died because her selfish daughter needed cable tv more than grandma needed diabetes medicine...and millions suffer from the inability to afford insulin, despite that drug initially starting out as a gift to humanity from a generous genius, privatized by evil and greed, priced beyond reality for most. Our 2 party system is designed to keep us bickering...division keeps us docile enough to accept our own government conspiring to murder us, with our acceptance. 3rd party candidates are generally real humans...that care about other humans, even, gasp, total strangers and foreigners... We are all on the same damn spaceship...Earth. I judge character...not race, not whatever religion folks are born into. I am old...I am tired of seeing disaster after disaster get slow attention from government, as poor people die in thousands due to delayed or nonexistent help. It's about time the many take control, with votes, to dethrone the sociopaths that control us, play games with our very lives... When there are only voluntary homeless, when the janitor is paid living wage, when a high school graduate can earn enough in food service, or retail, to support a modest home and essentials, while creating a nest egg...when veterans are given the same care as Congress, Senate and other positions of highest power, rather than left to suffer and die, when the lowest paying jobs are enough to survive on, then and only then, can America boast of being great... As it stands...I feel most of us are born into lies we have no control over...It's well orchestrated, as my points are made clear in every satirical broadcast about the plight of the expendable masses, world wide... Do I want peace, equity and kumbaya? Yeah...I do...are there sociopaths in power oppressing the common folk...yeah...there are...have good Democrats and Republicans existed? Yes...they get blocked by evil at every turn, often resigning due to unbeatable corruption. Do I pity the very people I label simple? You bet I do...I want this planet to be a better place for most...not some...for all...if ever possible... This covid virus isn't done. It mutates too fast to pin it down with a vaccine...and we haven't seen the end of it because we, as a planet, would have to agree on a few ground rules to consider being a functional society. That's my 2 cents...some of it...take it or leave it. Most of us just exist and watch, lazily, rather than get directly involved in change. @soaringvulture We don't seem to take note...we, the expendable masses, are being told to push through life ignoring this virus...it took ONE infection to start a Planet Wide Pandemic...and because we didn't quarantine from January 1st to February, we get to watch innocent and otherwise lives lost, daily...who are "we", in "we're in it together"? Certainly not the elite...they step on us to avoid harm...I'm furious with humanity as a whole...I'm furious we accept all this death and Trump's toddler talks...like a Ted talk without useful insight... Those of us suffering are many...while the privileged watch the show They created...when...when will the common folk unite against tyranny, through the only peaceful means we have...vote out career politicians and dynasty families in favor of fellow human beings, with consciousness and compassion for the lowest among us. We won't stop the cycle of abuse by trading Democrats and Republicans, two sides of the same evil, corrupt coin. Vote 3rd party...vote for real people, with flaws, that understand what struggle is...that have put time behind any of these so called essential, yet minimum wage jobs... This economy is screwed...always has been. The vast majority of work available is menial labor...food service, retail, janitors, grocers...a great many take their wages in government...which is far too big, complex and unsustainable... Until any job can offer a modest secure household, until the only homeless are those who volunteer to live "free"...until the pill giants are mandated to make life saving medicine reasonably priced...we are a selfish, horrid nation, divided by the very people that oppress us, yet too busy fighting amongst ourselves to take any useful action towards a better tomorrow for the MANY, not the FEW......
@@jesuszamora6949 Dude you rock, way to spell, brother! :)
"Impeachment is divisive" has the same energy as you being blamed for tearing the family apart when you call the cops on an abusive spouse.
Good analogy. Very appropriate.
You guys didn't care about anything being divisive from 2016 to 2020. We watched you burn cities and then tell us that these guys were 'secret white supremacists'. Thing is, you don't want to have a united country. You are made of hate. You don't even have causes you believe in, you just have people that you hate. Bring your war already. We've been waiting. A lot longer than you have been flirting with the idea.
Exactly. Great analogy
Spot on , brother
@@elijahherstal776 what cities were burned? There were a few buildings burned. And pretty much everyone has said that this is wrong. But there is a difference from an empty police station or a target getting burned and storming the capital and calling for the public murder of elected officials. Also progressives are all about getting everyone healthcare, increasing freedom, and growing democracy. These are not hateful. What is hateful is blaming economic problems on immigration or poor people instead of the systems that incentivize profits over people.

Brilliant line! 😭
It is but don’t forget his writers they work diligently w him to make the show. Shout out to Colbert and his team!
Colbert keeps pretending that Trump and other Republicans are the only ones who do outrageous things. Total homer and total “cover my a”er. He votes Democratic and then doesn’t have the courage to bring up any outrageous Democratic behavior. Fake liberal. True Leftist.
More clearly stated: "We don't negotiate with terrorists - We ARE the terrorists."
@Calvin Parish listen here Karen, you MAGA are the problem, and we’re not commies or leftist. In fact we’re far more likely to be centre-left statistically, and being “leftist” isn’t an insult. The fact that you don’t realise this means most likely lack both basic intelligence and probably looks too. Bye
Exactly what I was thinking!
Calvin Parish, actually according to the FBI, 97% of the protests were peaceful, and violence and looting may have been due to right wing agitators in the crowds.
Yeah that one bad day at the Capitol reminded me of the 100+ days or terrorist rioting across the country last year. 30+ dead, Trump supporter executed in cold blooded murder, billions in destruction of government buildings and private property. So fucking disgusting. Democrats didn't care about that. Just this one day that was a MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTEST

This is just untrue and a rewriting of history. At the time of 9/11, many people were not only blaming our own government as an Inside Job", others we're blaming America because "of what we've done in the Middle East" . Many people defended the terrorists. And blamed the president , just like is happening now.
@@Sweetlyfe thank you. Your comment really does make it even funnier
@frankos rooni well they were trying to overthrow every major police department in the country on the first nights of the george floyd riots. they were trying to ensue anarchy on a much larger scale and they're not classified as terrorists?

You hit the nail on the head perfect analogy
I can absolutely resonate with this as I'm about 4 years out of an abusive marriage. I heard all of this and what's worse? I had no recourse as my former husband has family money and connections in high places. I live in a "Mormonocracy " and the church will protect it's own, especially if they have money and connections. I very much hope Melania has seen to her and Barron's safety because Trump is likely going to be like a caged wild animal for awhile and more dangerous since he's cornered.

Yes, furious as well.
Im furious that hideous orange creature isn't already in Prison.
Removed from office for what, for speaking at a protest where he said, "cheer on the Senators and Congressmen and women, and head over to the Capitol peacefully to make our voices heard."

Profoundly sorrowful for the current state the US is in.
We'll get better. More people than not realize what a useless bastard this dude is, and he's down to only his most die-hard sycophants. Our nation has endured worse.
I'm watching this 4 days late, so my comments are after the fact - but this is the *best* I've seen from Stephen to date. Dry, punishing sarcasm doesn't always work, but BOY - this time, it's spot on. Stephen, keep this standard up - the delivery was superb, driven by a cold, righteous anger that is perfectly judged. Whatever happens in the next few days, I am convinced it is a new beginning. To think otherwise is pointless. Stay Safe - from Dorset, UK (where we are dying)
Here, in case anyone is doubting that they are domestic terrorists... The dictionary definition of terrorism from THREE different dictionaries: OED -- "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims" Brittanica -- "the calculated use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective" Mirriam-Webster -- "violent or destructive acts (such as bombing) committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands" The Patriot Act definition of domestic terrorism: "The term “domestic terrorism” means activities that involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State, appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States" The FBI definition of domestic terrorism: "Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature"
Everyone here should read this. Good stuff.
Anntiffa did it in truump gearr
I guarantee you that one set of people, unfortunately, won't - or can't - read it, much less understand it, unless tailored to suit their needs in order to justify 'Capitol Wednesday'...
@@latentsea Tell that to the terrorists who came out and said they love trump.
@forestnomad I think the vast majority of reasonable people believe that this was an act of terrorism and is unacceptable. I do want to also point out by those definitions the BLM Riots in LA, Chicago, Portland, and many many more were the exact same thing and should also condemn every member that was unlawful and violent to advance their political agenda as terrorists. The issue is this logic is not being portrayed and was not portrayed both ways. I describe the Riots this summer as an act of terrorism and I describe the attack on the capitol an act of Terrorism and anyone who trys to defend the attack on the capitol is enabling that behavior. AND ALSO anyone who donated to bail money or defended the riots this summer at any point are also enabling that behavior. Both are not okay and we need a nation to come together and admit this and then we can move forward.
Watching all this from Germany, it is like an extremely scary Déjà-vu
Except this corrupt leader refuses to shoot himself in the head
Same, but not only since last Wednesday. Also, Arnold seems to think in the same direction. It's not surprising, that we are more aware of our history than most Americans, who probably have much less in-depth history lessons on the topic.

This is the most important monologue you ever had
colbert is my spiritual healing in these trying times
can we remind these idiots that 1. "yelling fire in a crowded theatre" isn't free speech. 2. Congress shall make no law limiting speech, but private companies can 3. encouraging, facilitating, or providing any comfort (like saying "we love you") to those engaged in insurrection is a federal crime and if convicted you face 10 years in prison plus you are barred for life from holding federal office can we please bring these people to justice already
1> Giving a false alarm, making threats, etc. have never been covered by free speech. 2> Bake the cake, bigot 3> Then most of the people you voted for should be on trial for the same. Hopefully executed. Can we please bring these 'creatures' to an end, and THEN start dealing with their enablers? I support allowing them to exist as property to their betters, and perhaps being allowed to speak as long as it is always in the third person using the pronoun 'it'.
This monologue is a masterpiece.
Agreed! Stephen Colbert is the best late night host since Johnny Carson.
Stephen...it's sad what happened, mobs always tend to derail by the actions of some rotten apples who should be made accountable and prosecuted for their actions. God blessed you all!
Trump: gets banned on all social media sites Trump: “announcing my only fans”

Don't forget the flex cuffs. They went prepared to take hostages.
Prisoners. They planned to execute them, not let them go later.
Nothing makeshift about that gallows - it was a functional one. They couldn't have been more clear that the attack was intended to lead to executions. How that isn't terrorism - only in the US.

Thanks Stephen for your heartfelt comments. Spot on and correct!
How do you do this Steve, everyday for the last 4 years. I admire your professionalism.
Stephen has zero chill left and I'm here for it. I feel the same but he can phrase it so much better!
"Pleasuring himself with a double cheeseburger" Don't knocking till you try it!! 🤣
Yeeeeikes!
That background giggle at 6:22 was priceless!! xD
Colbert is a comic genius. Both he and Seth Meyers have managed to brilliantly find the comedy in the situation without ever diminishing its seriousness.
Seth Meyers suck and is not funny
They are both propaganda puppets and that fact that you watch them regularly just shows how brain dead you are and that you lack the intelligence to form your own opinion and can only repeat what you are told. where was your outrage when BLM was burning down American cities, looting and killing people while Biden cheered them on and the democrats bailed out all that were arrested?
I like the serious Stephen, some things aren't funny and he shouldn't try to make it so

"Touched a hot stove"? They are literally using analogies appropriate for a CHILD.
Remember it's the toddler in chief
As is appropriate for T****.
Roy Blunt was attempting to minimise what was genuinely an effort to mount a coup. Of course, he is a member of the party which would remain in power after the coup, so that would explain his lack of concern.
Kind of, but not really thought. With a child, there is no need to lie about them learning from touching a hot stove.
"Grab 'em by the HOT STOVE " ...an INSTANT classic .
No internet, no TV and no going outside. Sound like grounding a child.
@Mark My only comfort is that he will be alone and afraid when his day comes. His vulture children will abandon him as soon as the money runs out (and it will soon), and all the "friends" he bought will be nowhere near him now that his name is synonymous with terrorism and insurrection. It's no less than Trump deserves.
More than true👍🏻👍🏻
Stephen is like “No! 🤯 it’s not a coincidence don jr!” 😂😂
The president : "Fight like hell" Rudy: "Trial by combat" Republican: "The president has learned his lesson" p2
Best comment award 🦄
Rudy's gonna get disbarred for that lol
"It was an absolutely perfect coup attempt."
"I believe that the president has learned from this case. The president has been impeached. That's a pretty big lesson." "He was impeached. And there has been criticism by both Republican and Democratic senators of his call. I believe that he will be much more cautious in the future." - Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) 2/4/2020
Susan Collins thought it was the Iranians storming the Capitol. smh
"Consider this, you are wrong" quality quote right there.
I want that as a t-shirt. Seriously. Put it up on Etsy or somewhere and I will show you dosh!
I just hope and pray that Biden makes ZERO changes to his Inauguration, saving for Covid? If one single thing is changed, other than ramping up security, the Confederate Terrorists will call that a victory, and take it as an INVITATION to push harder, and again. I hope they’re prepared to mow them down, and intern the survivors! Seriously. This is the hour for RESOLVE, and Joe cannot afford to let them see him bleed. No flinching. We face the threat DOWN! And we CRUSH THEM. It’s the only way left!
Consider this your a hypocrite who only dislikes political violence when it's the other side doing it..
@@jankoleon3785 I dislike ALL political violence. BLM/Antifa protesters were mostly peaceful. It's that the focus was too much on those who were making things ugly. You can't equate the two.
@@jankoleon3785 Consider this: There is a difference between violence at a political protest and an attempted violent overthrow of a democratically elected government.
Stephens been going tf off recently You love to see it 😂
Cool to see now! Great point now, Stephen! Keep up the good work now! Be well now!
Stephen barely had patience for jokes, he's still furious. Rightly so.
Colbert has been the best part of the trump era, his controlled fury and clever wordplay has just gotten better and better, now his wit can draw blood, I love it- he's been more presidential than the actual president...same with Seth Meyers and Trevor Noah, they all blossomed, we got more truth and leadership from our comedians than from the politicians lol sigh
Successful comedians (on the whole) possess inherent qualities that tend towards more sensitivity than your average politician. Hence the reason for more empathy and fury when they witness a clear and indisputable injustice and assault on our democracy.
Yeah too bad he didn't show one ounce of concern during the terrorism of BLM throughout last year. Maybe he's a tad bit biased.
As should, and must, all TRUE patriots! Only a handful of the traitors have been caught, and The Creature In Chief is still skulking around like Gollum in the swamp. We're not moving fast enough to catch them all.

When you thought Black Friday shopping made us look stupid
It makes all of us look stupid, if that's any consolation
Where do you think these people trained?
Well, viewed from Europe it more makes you look like a nation with a poverty problem and a huge stigma against poor people. No one get into fist fights for a television just for the lulz. Following your national conversation online, can't count the times I have seen references to poverty used as a slur, along with jeering at lack of access to education, and cries of socialism and communism whenever someone, like, suggests that you should have any actual cooperation or co-funding of anything, anywhere in society. Irrespective of political affiliations, Main difference being if the racism component is explicit or implicit. Colbert above also falls into it occasionally. How much is it an American university degree costs these days? I have heard insane amounts quoted. THAT is the stuff that makes you look stupid imo.
@@Heyiya-if That's a great analysis of what the US looks like from Australia, too.
LOL 😆
This is actually the emotions I expected from Stephen last week. He speaks for many people not just in the States but worldwide.
You let others speak for you as you are to weak to do it yourself. You empower the wrong people.
You have no idea what the rest of the world thinks. We are wondering why they voted in a crook like Biden, and wondering why they were all cheering when ANTIFA and BLM burns down cities on a violent spree. We are back to thinking America is a joke as we did when they had Obama in charge.
