Stephen Rips Up The Monologue And Starts Over After Trump's Heartbreaking Thursday Night Lie Fest
We all knew Donald Trump would do this, that he would refuse to show dignity in defeat. But what we didn't expect is how much it would hurt. Watch Stephen Colbert process his feelings in real time as he delivers a new monologue written in the wake of the President's sad, frightening remarks in the White House briefing room. #Colbert #Monologue #LSSC

I'm from Europe... your election is the most disturbing thing I've seen in a modern, western "democracy".
same, even the ESC has a better system.
@@Iisa1010 🤣 12 points go to Biden... 😂
Why is that, Nik Rock?
@Nik Rock ... I can't either! God help us!
@Jka Vill that's really smart coming from a hillbilly...
His two sons just called for "war" on Twitter... and to think 70 Million "patriots" condone this behaviour. I am disgusted by what my country has become.
I appreciate how Steve Bannon is banned from Twitter for talking about beheading Dr. Fauci and Christopher Wray.
Trump misspelled "nationalists"
Jesus Christ... That's beyond irresponsible. That's, metaphorically speaking, throwing napalm on a raging wild fire. Trump might incite a civil war because of his fragile ego and they don't even care...
This outrage seems almost quaint now. It has gotten so much worse. So much worse.
I know right. Looking through the comments, I'm like 'ah, to be so hopeful as we were in the distant past of last week'
Naw Biden won and that's better than whatever else could've happened
so true.
What he said here was so haynes because it pretty much implied what was to come. After this, you could pretty much extrapolate the rest. It just needed some time to pick up speed.
its ok, its over now, bidens inaugurated, McConnell has been demoted to senate minority leader, it'll be ok...well...maybe, i could be proven wrong when vanilla isis raids the country after the national security threat level dips
jesus christ i just watched this and didn't realize this wasn't from insurrection week until you started talking about electoral votes. Shit's been fucked for a while.

No matter what you think of this video Cobert I agree is talking out of his bum.Cobert the phony friend of Pres.Trump.(probally ex pal by now) fact whistle blowers reported election uncertainties Fact: Many of the peacefu Capitol protesters condone the separate group that stormed the capitol
I'm not quite understanding your post sorry. bum is how British folks say but
As a Dutch citizen living in the US it breaks my heart that regardless of the outcome.. close to 70 million people still voted for a man who continues to cause so much suffering to so many... I feel you Stephen... These are dark times indeed.
It is a very disturbing thought. I have family members, people you would think are decent folk and somewhat intelligent buy into his nonsense.
I know. I have no words to explain that. Hopefully the election outcome puts this behind us.

Watching from New Zealand and yes...we are watching in disbelief and shaking our heads too.
Very sad and embarrassing. Throwing his toys out of the cot. Also Australian. So sad for you guys.
I'm here from 1/6/2021: It got worse
I’m holding my breathe until after the inauguration, it ain’t over yet!
Remember when Trump won in 2016 and people tried to reassure others by saying how much damage can he do in 4 years.
today is the day 1/20/2020
@Jean-Luc Harrison Same. It feels so wonderful for the real threat to be over, and the weirdness will naturally dissipate without the cult leader present. Agent Scully is the new press secretary.... I have a weird real hope that this administration will be better than Clinton or Obama, will actually fight for things. I'm sure that's just naive optimism in this moment... but something really does make me feel that way.
@@madcapmagician3130 you can breathe now
Writing this in 2022, december, looking back at Stephen hoping Republicans would stand up and speak out against Trump. All this time later, not ONE Republican spoke out. Says EVERYTHING about them... History must never forget not just Trumps actions-but that of his entire party. Every one of them is guilty.
Feb 2023 here. I fear deeply for what the future holds, looking at what the past held.
Cry more 😢
@@abrahamrivera6298you’re adorable. Don’t forget to send trump money
Mitt Romney did, and Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger (this was after J6 though, so maybe not by the time this was recorded, although Romney may have done as he voted twice to impeach him).
What broke me was the fact that nearly half of Americans STILL voted for him
me too
@James Bond Because Trump is a tyrant, and wants to destroy the very thing his supporters want?
Disturbed individuals.
I know, right? It's like "I'm so sick of the fast food lobby that I'm... I'm... I'm gonna drink bleach! That'll teach them!" Um... what?
I cant believe it either. People I never thought are supporting him. I'm done with them.
OUR house, not HIS. I've been saying that for FOUR YEARS.
@Anthony Lopez Keyboard warrior syndrome. You think it makes you strong but it only shows your weakness.
He's a charity case.
That's what they said on Jan. 6, too...but from the other side. It isn't their house, but it sure as heck isn't OUR house either. And making fun of the "Biden Crime Family" guy just embolden this people further. Saying this in 2024, on the doorstep of the rematch.
This came back up in my feed and knowing how almost none of the Republicans stood up just makes this all the more heartbreaking.
IKR
Yes sir. Makes my hair stand up.
Also, this was exactly 2 months before January 6th. And now the world is possibly facing Trumps re-election and him killing off democracy for good. It's just devastating.
Thank you Stephen for expressing how we all feel inside.
As a Canadian, I couldn't imagine this happening. This is ridiculous and the american people do not deserve to suffer the chaotic behavior of a 74 year old man child. I might not have a say in american politics, but dear neighbors, I hope it gets better and not worse. P.S. You're all welcome to move up north with us, just bring warm clothes. 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸
It's already happening here in Canada with hard right conservatives in our provinces.
Thanks for the invite!!! We may have to take you up on that offer😊
I'm available for adoption!
It's good that our elections are based on popular vote rather than something as stupid as the electoral college and that we have more than just two political parties.
Conservatives won the popular vote by quite a bit in the last federal election. Unfortunately, it means just about as much here as in the states
“For evil to succeed, all that is necessary is for good men to do nothing”
Thats why Trump is fighting the mail-in ballot fraud scam.It shouldn't take 3 days to count, If you keep finding tens of thousands of ballots of course Biden will eventually fraudulently win.
This sentence was also coined during WWII. Our country is looking like 1930s Nazi Germany.
The Republicans have found an end-around that little problem: They just do everything they can to ensure no good men make it into their party.
and Women!
For many years, not just Trump.
My god this hit different on Jan. 7th. A few cowardly Republicans are FINALLY speaking up. That's what it took.
Day late; dollar short.
And after the 6th more than half that finally did speak up took it back and started sucking up to il Douchey within days! Then only 10 house republicans voted to impeach and only 5 senate republicans even think it is constitutional to hold him accountable yeah but nobody is above the law right oh unless he is on my team and holds power with my voters and could possibly get me primaried what a bunch of fucking COWARDS they will say shit in private but in public they would defend him if he ate a live puppy on live TV it's pathetic

Going back to this after the events today. I'm not the biggest Colbert fan. But I tell you when he gets mad there are very few people I'd rather listen to than him
Colbert didn't use his Trump voice to read that Trump tweet. He's THAT fed up with him.
He didn't say "dot dot dot dot", either.
Great observation of his behavior!
I felt it. I’m glad you said this, FFS someone had to!!

This is why I can’t be friends w any trumpers - it’s not political, it’s from a humane stance.
Exactly. Speak up. Learn from our history!

God, watching this from January of 2021 is especially painful.
It's pathetic that chump is so easily seen to have nothing he won't do😞
Watching this from May 2021 is even more painful. 🥺

Stephen, that pause near the beginning...I felt that deeply, because it exactly captured how I've been feeling since polling ended. We are on the edge of a precipice after riding a long slippery slope downward, and I can no longer say with certainty that we are safe from falling in, nor can I see how we can climb back out of this pit. Your honesty and passion right now is most appreciated.
Eloquently said!
Well said.
With Mr. Colbert it’s the Methamphetamine talking.
@@remc70 Your projecting again.
"For evil to succeed, all that is necessary is for good men to do nothing“ AMEN 🙏🏼
Thats the problem right here. You see, good men that do nothing are not good. They are complicit in the evil they let happen. Fuck giving these people thr benefit of the doubt.
They’re not good men or women. They’re deplorables.

"Evil Prevails when good people do nothing". Your quote is too long.
Today is Jan 7 2022. A year and a day after the insurrection. It was great to hear this heartfelt monologue again tonight. Thanks

@@KeithJackson-ux7eh The only death was one of the "tourists" who was shot in the face by a Capitol cop. Stop digesting state sanctioned "information". It's unhealthy.
"So, we all knew he would do this. What I didn't know is that it would hurt so much." A year later and these words still ring in my ears. I am so devastated by what he did and continues to do to our faith in the election process.
It wasn't Trump. Republicans are responsible. People who were smart enough to know and do better decided to salute this lying crook for what he attempted. Trump would be nothing without them.
A year and more later and I still hear Stevens words too
Well voting has been quite sketchy for decades now, I'm surprised people didn't lose thier shit about the florida digital voting booths durring the Bush/Al Gore election. That was a huge deal, but nobody gave enough of a shit then. Fast forward 20 years ...
My faith in our elections hasn't changed at all. Trump lies.
@@conservativestrawman9837 yes, but really, it's the Electoral college. The Republicans haven't won the popular vote in two decades. Add gerrymandering to that list (done by both sides, but grossly more by Republicans).
I'm not American and watching all this for 4 years, IT'S BREAKING MY HEART.
Looks like even comedians need help. We come for the laughs but Stephen needs to hang on. Poor guy is getting older instead of the president after 4 yrs.
I can’t tell if the last 4 years or the last 4 days have aged me more.
Try living it. It's worst.
@Jka Vill Weirdo
I rolled my eyes so far into my head there in my mouth. Thought my brain would have at least prevented that but then it is mush after watching this crap.
"I'll accept the results... if I win". Hey Americans, did you really need anything else? From Europe, with fear and disbelief.
ngl we/america be kinda sus
And From Russia, with Love~
From Ireland with fear but not disbelief. The right of the US system is totally bankrupt of morals or any sense of fair play. Good luck sortin this shite out America!
Its baffling that so many people witness this nonsense and still choose to support him
We're trying to stop the 4th reich here. We might need help
If only you knew. From a New Zealand perspective all the way over here it’s scary to see what’s going on. Wish the USA all the best as you try to recover, re unite and move forward
Canada calling here. The closeup is just as alarming as the telephoto shot, I can tell you...
Being right here in the middle of it in America was just a scary. I really hope it's over now.
@@StudeSteve62 Also Canadian. And you are right.
Thanks New Zealand and Canada we appreciate the well wishes. Things as of march are starting to look up but its still a long road.
I'm watching this a whole year later and I can't believe how prophetic this was!
It was mainly because that fascist man is and was so predictable. as Colbert mentioned. It's unimaginable to accept how bad is got after Colbert broken heart monologue.
Lol okay Karen
golly gee Karen. What do you have to say now about lil' Stevie?
I’m here in April three years later and it’s the same broken record with Trump. Still. Always. Forever. Tomorrow Election Interference trial starts, aka Stormy Hush Money.

I lost my dad of 89, too (in June). He was a big fan, and we would frequently debrief. I don't know whether I am relieved or not that he does not have to suffer the pain of hearing Trump further stain the office and our nation. Thank you for bringing me back to the many good conversations that Stephen initiated...
That really touched my heart. You keep your father in your heart. ❤ Stephen is helping us all get through this nightmare!
I had to rewatch this because Stephen was so right. Look at all the rats leaving the ship... now. It's too late.
Ohhh they're There, Lying through their teeth. And those who Want will go right along with them and expect everyone else to swallow it. I cannot Believe the lies being told in court, under oath, by the people "we've " voted in and are paying dearly.
Thank you Stephen. I watched this in February and cried. Residual pain, and I cried watching your heartbreak. I know you won't read this but, thank you. For having a soul and letting us know how you feel ( we watched you almost cry).
I'm watching this a year later. Still utterly agree with you. Heartfelt.
Thank you so much Mr.Colbert, sometimes l really wonder why they do not have more people of your caliber and integrity in Senate or Congress & just get rid of all the McConnells , Gaetz, Cruz, Graham or MTGs, you know what have kept me sane during this Pandemic is Kimmel, Seth, Fallon, Trevor and most of yours truly, YOU.

LOL that's hillarious. Look, if the Democrats and shills like Colbert were clear to go on and on about the Russiagate lies, Trumpers and shills like Bannon are clear to go on and on about their own election lies. It's about having an equal playing field at the very least. Grow up. Trump's about as bad as Clinton and Biden. Colbert's about as bad as Bannon or Tucker. And vice versa. Pick yourself up and be an adult about the 'democracy' we have in this country.
6:37 I actually said “thank you“ out loud. Now every member of the media needs to do the same. Stop showing Trump saying lies. Just stop. Ignore him. He is no longer relevant.
Exactly
Ha Well said sir .or ma’am sorry .
_"In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."_ - MLK Republicans should be speaking out _loud and clear._
Not while they're still enjoying a great salary plus a 5% additional tax break. The 'Old Guard Republicans' still rule the Senate.
I dunno I'll probably remember "Pica Hatta Anda Ake Ake Monda Rasatta"
Silence is complicity.
Amen
The narrative that Republicans are silently disapproving of Trump is bs. 93% of Republicans voted for Trump this year, a 3% increase from 2016.
Can't believe this monologue would be relevant again 2 months after...
The only time I laugh when I'm angry is when I'm genuinely on the verge of a rage breakdown and that little laugh Stephen did worried me 🤣
I was not expecting Stephen to get emotional. When he did, I stopped what I was doing and sat down immediately to listen and feel his pain. Thankful for Stephen and his voice.
S Vega then don’t watch ...no one is forcing you to watch ...but there must be something that attracts you to do so ...could it be the truth? Hmmmm
"I didn't expect this to break my heart..." That moment was so real.....so many people are feeling that way and the majority of them haven't even realized it yet.

That pinched look in your face, and those silences you needed to take in the beginning, were all of us in that moment.

I know I'll remember it every year whether it's officially recognized or not.
Hi how are you doing today
National Benedict Arnold Day.
I don't want to remember the 6th, but we should never forget, because they're already if not still trying it again. If the GQP makes it a day of celebration, we should do what they do in Mississippi on MLK's birthday, they call it Robert e. Lee day. But we'd call it Officer Brian Sicnic day. I'm sorry if I misspelled Officer Brian's last name.

"He would see this country burn if he could be king of the ashes."
Nice, but Trump is nowhere near as cunning as Little Finger
so trump calling out ballot harvesting is burning down the country? lol
says the party that has been rioting and looting the past year
Half of the country was burning for months and he didn’t give a shit!!! 230,000 dead and he doesn’t even acknowledge it!!! He’s no even Human!!!!!!
@@mahjie9903 COVID was created by DNC/China to rig the election with the mail in voting ballot harvesting fraud
The Republicans did speak up: they spoke up their support for Trump.
Voting for Donald Trump is like voting for Larry David and George Constansa
Proves Republicans are fascist.
I watch this periodically Colbert hit it out of the park!
"I didn't expect it to hurt this much" Amen, Stephen. Amen!
Each time he did a campaign event at the White House, I wanted to scream. You need to uphold your presidents to the Hatch act. It's so sad that it's even needed. But I fear trump won't be the last of his kind to be elected...
@Love Forever Trump worshiper Alert!!
Love to your sensible self & team
No one could have said it better Stephen. Thank you for calling this out.
I can't believe, I can watch this now and it STILL RINGS TRUE today. I thought this day would be as shocking as things would get... Boy, was I wrong. 😢
I’m actually glad Stephen wasn’t in the studio for this. It makes it all the more chilling.
"And it's not a passenger train. He'll load you on it some day too." That is a deeply dark yet powerful metaphor
Agree. It took me a moment to parse it but it landed like a fist.
A train to Auswitch
Only students of history would get that. Sadly, that means not a single Trump supporter.
No lie detected.
Yeah. Chilling.
Stephen has SERIOUSLY reached his limit with DT. He can’t even sit anymore...So sad it’s come to this. But Stephen is right, it’s time for Republicans to speak up against this insanity or they ARE THIS. Period.
Its WAY past time for the Republicans to speak up... they're a bunch of gutless cowards who don't care that the US is turning into a banana republic.
My sentiments as well. The fact that other Republican candidates regained positions in Senate & House, speaks volumes of Vote Electoral transparency. Also the States that got flipped has Republican Governors....for Trump to want to sue them, speaks volumes of his integrity. The citizens had enough & also rest of the world as it affects us all. I luv Stephen to say it as is.
Same way for the rioting and looting... 👌🏼🖕🏼 Democrats are that
They are afraid of the Trump base and are probably thinking forward to the 2022 mid-terms and want to keep those seats as it looks like they will regain their majority in the Senate this time and are hoping to flip Congress and they will do it by blocking Joe's agenda and then blame Joe for not getting anything done. If that sounds familiar it's because Republicans in the Senate did the same thing with Obama. We could be facing a global economic meltdown soon and Joe will have to inherit that as Obama did and if Democrats are blocked because the Senate won't pass anything that anger will arise once again and there will be a Trump 2.0 waiting in the wings to run as the GOP candidate for 2024 and he or she could be worse than Trump. You think those Trump supporters will go away quietly? No they won't. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that base will be up for grabs on the right and this where a Trump 2.0 could emerge and make Trump look pale in comparison. If Biden ignores the working class, young people and does not fix what went wrong with him losing support among blacks and Hispanics and Latinos then the danger is a Trump 2.0 could win the White House in 2024. I have no confidence in Biden even acknowledging what the Dems did wrong this time and why that landslide victory never came to pass and why the blue wave that would supposed to sweep the country never came to pass either. Remember Dems wouldn't even do an autopsy report of what went wrong in 2024 and instead blamed Russia, Jill Stein and Bernie for Hillary losing.
@@alkiebythesea exactly...why not fucking steal north Carolina if they wanted to cheat. They could close the senate too lol
Stephen Colbert had been right all along, No question about it, period!
I’m just seeing this for the 1st time and I think I will always be a Colbert fan
I have people I know that voted for him. Friends and family too. I have no choice but to look at them differently after this. This goes way past politics, it's a decency issue, about integrity, having morals, being a good person. This is dogs#it, and his Republican allies are absolutely cowards. These idiots will speak out later, after he loses, when it's too late. Talk about a pathetic, sore loser. Great example for our youth, who are watching this happen. Sad, sad, and very sad. Bbq, beer, and freedom...sure thing buddy. Great show as usual, very well said and clearly from the heart. Very admirable.
Mk L unfortunately, I agree. I have never let politics interfere with my relationships, but this says so much more about the people that are willing to tolerate this madness. I can never think of them in the same way😥
I agree. This is the worst for the children.
Yes judge me differently but I will not see people that are close to me who voted for trump
Exactly the way I feel. The voters who voted for him not only in 2016 but in 2020! WHAT IS IN THEIR HEADS....AND HEARTS? Thank you so much for your comment.
This is how Hitler happened.
I’m proud of my governor from VT who openly voted for Biden even though he is a republican.
Some politicians still have ethical ideals and firm morals that will not be subverted. You have reason to be proud.
God bless him. I hope he stays in power.
I voted for Scott, too, and there is a good godamn reason. I'm an Independant Vermonter, btw. Hate the two party system.
@@sodorflubbs5000 he's been great during the pandemic. Does press updates nearly every day.
@@Axolotl_Mischief Same here!
The difference in Steph's tone here and in Wednesday's monologue is noticeable. Here, he sounds completely heartbroken. On Wednesday, the heartbreak was replaced with fury. Pure, unadulterated fury. Fury at 45 for enabling the horrific events at the Capitol. Fury at the Refailurecans for enabling him. Fury at the idiots who committed the insurrection. Serves those belligerent bastards right.
Alas they are nowhere near done yet...
@@StudeSteve62 God help us all.
This.
lol. 'refailurecans'. Jeez. Middle schoolers have better creativity.... Either way, if the Democrats and Hillary and Colbert had the right to draw out their Russia gate/Steele dossier stolen election lies, I really don't see why Trump and Bannon don't have the right to drag out their own set of lies.
I've never seen Stephen so upset. He's such a good man, it's awful to see.
ALL the late nite guys were PISSED that nite
Crying is hysterical! Great comedian!
Yeah, because you can FEEL his frustration.
@@ecaldwell9 also SEE it. I know I was furious when I saw video of Jan 6. My friends saw it when it happened 🤔. FINALLY they r going to b dealt with 😠😠⚖️😵😵
Liberal Karens, all of u.
most powerful monologue of Stephen's career. Respect!
This was stunning. What a monologue, Stephen! 💕 We’re sending so much love to your country right now from chilly Canada. GET TRUMP OUT!
Thank you so much!!! Y’all be safe up there. I’m so happy that this tyrant is losing!!! This was my first time voting Blue. I grew up in a very racist state. I broke away from the right years ago. It truly is heartbreaking what’s been going on for years. All I have seen from his time as “president “ is hate, fear, lies, and division. We need to get the United States of America...United once again. I’m damn proud my home state (Arizona) turned blue!!!! We also are sending love to your country as well Jessi. Thank you again for your beautiful message:) We have hope once again!!!
Trump 2020
@@SouthernCal1317 Good for you! Arizona paid drumph back for his attack on the Hero John McCain - I bet McCain is smiling right now.
I totally love Colbert. He has kept us sane this entire time.
How are you doing
you forgot the "In" in sane
Coming back to this today. It is amazing to reflect on how poorly the Republican Party at all levels, from Congress to the rank & file, failed to act at any point then or since in the best interests of the United States. Failing to live up to the ideals of the Founding Fathers and a Constitution they so love to quote.
As a man who voted for Ronald Reagan and George Bush, and who would consider voting for someone similar, I can say that the present crew of Trump supporters attract me as much as Jim Jones holding a Koolaid party. Their disregard for truth, law, and American ideals is obvious and outrageous.
You would think that if you believe all the lies the left tries tells. They've spun you a narrative for four years.
good comparison- Ronald Reagan, the actor, did nothing to deal with AIDS for his entire first term; Trump, the reality TV personality, did nothing to deal with Covid-19.
Thank-you. Republicans like you give me hope,
You, sir, are brave for saying what you said and I thank you for saying it. We as a country need to start finding common ground with each other again, I miss that.
@@Jenacide Actually much of my outrage has come from just listening to Trump and his followers speak for themselves. Had they said nothing, my impression of them would have been far more favorable.
Stephen, I'm not an American, nor do I live in the states. But like most people globally, have been following this election. Seeing you get choked up due to actions by a big dangerous baby, because of the damage done to the country that you love broke my heart. Hang in there, it looks like things are about to turn up. Love the show.
Robin, I am devastated. If you pray. Pray for us, please. Stay safe.
Same thing as a Canadian,
Every American who voted against Trump feels the same. I think many who voted for him are probably disappointed but there is no leadership on that end to decry these trash lies.
@Doomsurfer good question. Another good question is why the Democrats didn't get those same dead/out-of-state people to vote for Democratic senators so they could take back control of the Senate instead of setting Biden up to be completely unable progress any of his plans through legislation. Seems like they would have done that, being smart enough to steal the election and all.
@Doomsurfer And they'll find nothing but nonsense lies and allegations, just like the President's last commission on voter fraud. Do you remember the one taxpayers funded to find nothing when DJT's ego couldn't handle losing the popular vote by 3 million and he claimed there were buses of illegals counting millions of votes. Everything you listed just now is just as BS as the allegations were then.
This hits hard in 2022
This speech hurts so much more today after the events of the 6th.
You can't see me, Stephen, but I am in my home office...it's 8:22 a.m. PST...and I am giving you a standing ovation. Thank you and your writers and your staff...and your WIFE! for all that you all do for all of us.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
A true beacon of hope in these dark times. Everyone should want democracy. That's an American thing, not a Democrat thing..
@Hi Victor how are you doing
Here from Canada watching...I felt for Stephen and the rest of you when he paused and couldnt speak. This is hearbreaking...wish you all luck ❤️ Go Biden/Harris💙
A year later and i still feel every word.
Man, seeing this three years later is insane. Its scary.
Always a fan of Stephen's show, but tonight's monologue was both heartfelt and moving. Many thanks from flabbergasted Australians.
Same from Germany. Just such a good host!
As an Australian also, I have never witnessed anything like this. Trump and his cronies are an embarrassment to the human race. Shame on those who think that he is there for the best interests of the people.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
AND NEW ZEALANDERS
@@davidackley4102 Unlike trump and his cult, who have no shame (or empathy, or intelligence, or common sense, or decency, etc.)
In yesterday's Jimmy Kimmel show, he was emotional and on verge of crying. How this can election be so close, after what Trump has done to this country.
I would be too. I'm still trying to figure out how the hell is this close
*Answer:* Well-designed and repeated comfibubbles.
Dam good question. No one is talking about over 300 000 mail ballots missing in post offices
Fact is election is not so close, Biden has over 4 million votes more than the incumbent, it is not close! The 19th century constitution amendment created the Electoral College and since then five times, five times a candidate won the popular vote and lost the election, three of them in 19th century and two of them in the 21st century. Time to retire such old and unfair system that only causes a mess like the one we are witnessing, and finally gets to the future.
For Biden I assume as no one could be stupid enough to vote for this "person" twice.
Wow, the first four minutes of this video are maybe even more resonant after the sedition attempt.
This is even more upsetting in January 2022.
Speaking on behalf of the world (yes, the entire world. we had a meeting.): We do not want what Americans call freedom. What you call freedom is just selfishness, greed, bigotry, and irresponsibility.

I wish we had proper freedom. Not Anarchy, nor entitlement to things we didn't earn, but a structured, respectable, and decent democracy that adapts to modernization, with focus on the country as a whole, not just the top 1%. I wish, hope, and pray that we can achieve that. Preferably sooner than later...
@@anamazing2297 Thats not anarchy, its a step away from fascism.
I mean.. there is some truth in that (though what do I know about freedom - Polish women here)
Wow, we can really see the pain that Trump is causing this country reflected on Stephen here. We're all feeling it, no matter who you support. I'm sorry, Stephen, but I think the Republicans are so far beyond gone it's pointless to ask them to 'stand up' or 'have character'. It's not happening, and it's time to accept that and move on.
Looking at the people picketing outside polling stations right now, I can most assuredly say that we're not all feeling it. He'll say everything he wants to say and take 49% of the country with him.
Mike , not move on, move forward.

Listening to this a year later. It still hurts and unbelievable how Steven said republicans need to choose between Dump and the American people. They chose Dump 🤦♂️
Stephen Colbert is a national treasure. So sad & disgusting TFG STILL hasn't been incarcerated yet.
Don for dumpster 2024.
"Who is silent gives consent." Perfect.
Hi how are you doing today
I love that Stephen outright refused to air Trump's remarks. Something we probably should've done a while ago, but better late than never.
MSNBC started broadcasting him, but as soon as Donald said his first lie, they dumped him, and Brian Williams basically said, "Nope, not gonna do it... not gonna broadcast his BS. I'm summarizing Brian's words, but that was his point in explaining why they dumped out of the live coverage.. Brian Williams has started his nightly show by counting the days of the Trump Administration, like Ted Koppel did nightly on ABC with the Iran hostage crisis (which became "Nightline")... I noticed what Brian was doing on his first show, and thought, "Uh-huh... I see what you did there...".
Totally agree!

It shouldn't have been this close. Not after all we've been though.
It's tough to vote against your identity. I can't imagine ever voting Republican. Im sure the opposite it true for many Republicans.
They purged hundreds of thousands of voters names from the rolls in Georgia, North Carolina they tried in Michigan but failed. When he said the election is a fraud he's right...but the fraud was committed by Republicans.
@@tjk3430 that's the sad truth of it all. People choose to follow something as if a cult. Never questioning their own party right by their side with every decision. And always on the opposing side of the other half. People need to fact check. People need to read into policies and government plans. And choose the one that you think is best. It's not wrong to choose. But it's dumb to blindly follow.
When you play a game with cheaters, most of the time they suck when their cheats don't work.
