imagine eating a meal with stephen colbert. over the course of a typical dinner by something he finds offensive. what are the chances? 100%. he is a karen, a brittle middle age women who's always lecturing you about something. he's elizabeth warren they even look alike. have you seen them in the same room at any point? no. he was talented at one point. michael's been doing his dog puppet routine for 30 years, that's the one colbert's hiding behind. a dog puppet. it was kind of funny during the clinton administration it's hack now. michael keeps doing it because he has a political message. no one laughs at robert anymore, it's pathetic. who's funnier, robert or the guy who took pictures of himself at nancy pelosi's desk on january 6th. be honest. it's not even close. the guy at pelosi's desk is hilarious compared with the guy with the talking dog and none of them is half as fun again sorry it's true as donald trump. and how do you know that. show us the late night host who said anything half as amusing as trump's taco bowl tweet

stephen colbert and what the community calls foreshadowing described his own coup. and yet stephen colbert somehow still has access to the airwaves and to digital media. spreading his hate on feathered. convincing future generations that insurrection's to do what his team of did last week. that must stop. people who plan coos must be silenced there's precedent for that and anyone who disagrees should be disconnected from amazon web services immediately. no spreading hate. stopping white extremist stephen colbert from passing on his message of insurrection of the country won't solve for the rest of us are living with and that is trauma. and like all trauma journalists are affected most profoundly. we are scarred by what we saw. it'll be a long time before we can revisit the capitol building before we can forget what we were democracy shook on its very foundation. to take therapy and a lot of support from our fellow survivors before we can recapture the carefree innocence that stephen colbert stole from us before we can feel safe again. we are not alone in our dispara

but j stephen colbert does not. stephen colbert has lost his sense of humor along with the critical distance and perspective to make humor possible. at this point he's just a partisanta scold and you know that for certain because even if you watch the q and on shumann parade around the capitol on january six , stephen colbert did not laugh. now an actual comedian, whatever his politics would have found that spectacle hilarious because let's be honest, it was an event to see you guys pages. look at this guy josh 75% night like i got shot. i saw some kind of plastic i bullet . any chance i can believe this anyway? we g g will i'm sure i suspect in the hey, the bears get in the horn at that's all there is. yes, it isla hilarious. no, just insurrectionist and colbert you can go to jail. he's a terrorist. g and whennd he was sent to jail, colbert applauded. now that's how most countries act. that's comedians act. soso stephen colbert may be aco late night hosts for s some reason, but he has zero sense of humor. a he had

i mean, stephen colbert isty a democrat party loyalist. e he spent his entire show beating up on trumpp and republicans. they were therest as activists o they they could have actually shut down this committee. and so think about that . a think cohorts, think of liz cheney face if the puppet dog caused her committee to pause. i mean that is it's just beyond the pale. and so they definitely need tod be arrested, charged with obstruction of an officialh proceeding sent to jail pretrial detention sosp that that's just the first step. and then there are several other misdemeanors that should be applied to them and then they can spend a year and a half in solitary confinement pre charge in the dc jail, the worst jail in america. ni i'm trying not to use profanity. the fact that's happening right now, no one's saying anything aboutnddo this . justor unbelievable. you are,e though and we're grateful for that . julie kelly , thank you . thanks, tucker .ke well, speaking of the evaporationn of your rights, u.s. senators in both parties amazingly bec

last night, stephen colbert addressed the issue. seven of his production team members from his show plus the voice of "triumph the insult comic dog" were arrested on thursday, because they did not have proper i.d. they were on the sixth floor of the longworth office building at a time when it was close to the public. the cops came in, and they arrested them. last night, mr. colbert tried to explain what happened. here is what he said. >> my folks shot for two days in congressional offices across the street from the capitol building. they went through security clearance, shot all day wednesday, all day thursday, invited into the offices of the congresspeople they were interviewing. they were doing some last-minute puppetry and in the hallway when triumph and my folks were approached and detained by the capitol police. which actually isn't that surprising. in the capitol police are much more cautious than they were, say 18 months ago.

( laughter ) it also happens to be the longest day of the year, and i'm sure it felt like it for the former president dumb quixote, because today, the committee laid out in shocking detail how his relentless and illegal scheme to overturn the election brought harrowing consequences for those honest public servants who stood up to the pressure to support his heinous lies. in her opening statement, committee vice chair liz cheney had a warning for our nation. >> i would urge all of those watching today to focus on the evidence the committee will present. don't be distracted

i am your host, stephen colbert. now-- ( cheers and applause ) folks, if you watch this show regularly, and i hope you do, you know that i try to have a pretty positive outlook on the world, such as it is. i see the glass as half full. i don't always know what the liquid is, and i'm definitely not drinking it-- but it's half full. but current events have me a little unsettled, a little-- a little flurpy about america's future. and i'm not alone, because according to a recent cbs news/ yougov/ mountain dew: code red poll, "america's mood is uneasy and worried." things are so stressful, our national bird is now the balding eagle.

i'm your host, stephen colbert. now-- ( cheers and applause ) folks, i don't know about you, but i am past ready for our elected officials to take any action at all on guns, okay? ( cheers and applause ) and there are things-- there are some bedrock things that they could do. and there are only two stumbling blocks: elected. officials. because, despite the horrific shootings in uvalde, texas, the senate just skipped town for a two-week break without any action on guns. chuck schumer had planned on pushing through a vote to get everyone on the record, but yesterday he bailed, explaining there was no point in doing so, given that republican opposition was already "crystal clear." well, he's just following the old adage: "if at first, you don't succeed, bye-ee!"
