>> stephen: hey, everybody? welcome to "a late show." i'm your host stephen colbert. you know, when i saw the events at the capitol last wednesday, i was more upset than i can ever remember. i think i said so on air, and a lot of people have said to me sense, what about 9/11, stephen? well, yeah, that is the most horrible day in america's history, but i want to point out no americans were cheering tore the terrorists back then, no one was making excuses for the terrorists, no one was pretending they weren't territories. and now that we've had time to learn more and see more of what happened on that terrible day last week, all i can think is, oh, stephen from last week, you sweet, naive child, how could you have been so calm? because this attack was far worse than it first looked. the terrorists who stormed the capitol weren't just a bunch ofia hoose fed a steady diet of lies, fake juice and monster energy drink, this was a coordinated and planned attempt to terrorize if not kill our nation's elected leaders. and the prompter just said, insert joke here. can we get a j

i'm your host, stephen colbert. aso, welcome to the afterscape. and it's not even a cool afterscape, where spice tribes in face paint fight each other in suped-up muscle cars across the forbidden zone-- but we are in the dystopia. here's the situation, fellow american citizens: overnight, members of the national guard had to sleep next to their weapons on the floor of the capitol building. now, that's terrible to see. but what's additionally heartbreaking about this is that some of these soldiers are sleeping next to a plaque "commemorating the civil war troops that were quartered in the capitol in 1861, which happens to be the last time troops had to sleep over to protect the legislators. so, take heart, national guard. yes, your bodies and your bravery are the primary defense against a raging mob of homicidal yahoos. and, yes, some of the folks you've sworn to defend have been actively inciting those seditionists. but if the country survives, there's a pretty good chance you're getting a plaque. in fact, there are so many troops guarding our cap

>> stephen: welcome to "a late show," everybody. i'm your host, stephen colbert. well, just when we all thought 2020 was the worst 12 months of our lives, 2021 said, "hold my year." you might recall that yesterday, the outgoing president incited an insurrection and unleashed an angry seditious mob that stormed the u.s. capitol in an attempt to stage a violent coup. to our worried friends and allies across the globe-- rest assured, america knows we have a problem, and are seeking treatment. soon. but as worried as our friends and allies might be, you know who sounds more worried? the president. because just a little while ago, my taping time, he released a video that, curiously, contained none of the bravado of yesterday morning. no cries of "stop the steal," no calls for action, no fomenting a mindless mob and declarations that he will never surrender. also, no apology or acceptance of personal responsibility. it definitely has the feel of someone that has been told by their lawyer, that in 13 days-- or less-- they can be charged with insurrection, sedition, and i

>> stephen: welcome, welcome, citizens, to "a late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. well, fellow americans, the big story today-- and we'll be talking about it in the big script we have here-- will be the big story from yesterday, which was also the big story from last week, which is just the grand finale of the story from the last four years. it's been six days since maga terrorists ransacked the capitol building, but the danger has not passed. yesterday, the f.b.i. released a bulletin indicating that "armed protests" are being planned at all 50 state capitols. still want to be a state, puerto rico? there might be an opening soon. the f.b.i. warned that the armed protests are being planned from january 16 through at least january 20. four days that's not an anti-government insurgency. that's a music festival. it's "coup-chella"-- which is really the only place it's appropriate to go shirtless in buffalo horns. and it's not just state capitols. yesterday, members of congress were briefed on three planned riots for d.c. the most concerning plot would involve insurrect

i'm your host, stephen colbert, one more time. well, folks, it's our last show of 2020, and hopefully it's our last 2020, if you know what i mean-- and i'm not sure i do. tonight, we're going to revisit the year that was-- and, boy, was it-- in a special report we're calling: >> "2020: the year that took years. what a cluster-fond look back." >> stephen: 2020 brought us so much: the clumsiest coup in history, the global pandemic, commercials from domino's saying their pizzas would now go right from the oven into the box without anyone touching it, which really raised a lot of questions about how that all worked before. 2020 was so bad, the top artist on spotify was a man screaming into a pillow. here's a story you might have forgotten: the president was impeached. i'll recap it in my back-for-a- limited-time-only segment, "don and the giant impeach." >> uh-oh. >> stephen: the saga of the president's impeachment begins with... well, how could i put it? >> a perfect phone call. >> stephen: yes, our president was talking with the new
