I can definitely see Trump aides on election night trying to over-serve him just so he passes out (Silencing & Control)

June 2022

“The third installment of the January 6 committee’s public hearings was postponed on Wednesday. Meanwhile some of the folks being featured in the videos of these hearings are not happy about all the publicity, such as the Proud Boys leader Joseph Biggs, who faces up to 20 years in prison for seditious conspiracy. By the time he gets out, this Proud Boy is going to be a proud member of the AARP.” —Stephen Colbert

“Rudy Giuliani called the committee hearings an embarrassment. You really want to call anyone else an embarrassment? Is that really the word you want to use? There was an entire nationally televised congressional hearing this week about you being a sloppy drunk. You used to be on magazine covers as ‘America’s Mayor’ and now you’re most famous for screaming outside a landscaping company like a guy who’s trying to return a used bag of mulch.” —Seth Meyers

“I doubt anyone was trying to get Rudy drunk, but I can definitely see Trump aides on election night trying to over-serve him just so he passes out.” —Seth Meyers

Welcome to the monkey house, brother (Incredible customer service)

June 2022

“The lawyer for Joseph Biggs, a January 6th defendant and Proud Boys leader, argued that his client cannot receive a fair trial in the United States, due in part to ‘increased and unquestionably spectacular 24/7 negative press and media coverage’ of the group, specifically citing Stephen Colbert and The Late Show. You know, ladies and gentlemen, I do a lot of jokes about these violent fascists, but to hear that even one of them noticed? I feel so seen. You hate me, you really hate me!” —Stephen Colbert

“Biggs’ attorney argues that they need to move his trial because shows like mine ‘continue to saturate the jury pool of media-obsessive Washington D.C.’ They want to move the trial to someplace where the Proud Boys have a better reputation, like 1930s Berlin.” —Stephen Colbert

“Of course, after we got the shoutout, the article says Newsweek contacted Colbert’s representatives for comment: [imitating Newsweek reporter] ‘Well, Mr. Colbert, do you have a comment?’ Why, thank you, Steve, I do. ‘Want to share it with the people?' Certainly. While this is a very high-profile case, in our system of justice, the accused is innocent until proven guilty. So I want everyone in the potential jury pool to hear me when I say, ‘You are going to jail, you neo-numbnut! And if you don’t like it — and if you don’t like it, you can come and get me. My name is Joe Scarborough, and I love coffee! Welcome to the monkey house, brother.’” —Stephen Colbert

it would be Captain Pumpkin in the White House with the remote (If you’re going to commit treason, don’t bring a film crew)

June 2022

The hearings on the events of January 6th have begun. If this were a game of Clue, it would be Captain Pumpkin in the White House with the remote. —Bill Maher

There was a lot of new footage provided by a documentary filmmaker who was embedded with the Proud Boys. A little not to the Proud Boys. If you’re going to commit treason, don’t bring a film crew. —Bill Maher

Everybody at this time was telling Trump that he had lost the election. They have texts from Sean Hannity saying to Trump, ‘No more stolen election talk.’ OK, that’s proof that Trump knew that the calls were coming from inside your ass. —Bill Maher

And when there was a mob outside chanting ‘Hang Mike Pence’, Trump said, maybe our supporters have the right idea? Yes, he wanted to murder his vice president. Which is completely normal…in North Korea. That is what I call a smoking noose. —Bill Maher

Of course the republicans have mounted a very aggressive defense to all this. They are all distractions. They say, you think what Trump did to his number two was bad, what about what Amber Heard did with her number two? —Bill Maher

The time that Walter Cronkite was swallowed by a python (Supercalifragilisticexpiali-douchebags)

June 2022

“The Late Show will go live on Thursday night after the prime-time January 6th committee hearings. They are destined to go down in the annals of live TV, like the Watergate hearings, the moon landing, and the time Walter Cronkite was swallowed by a python.” —Stephen Colbert

“Now, here’s the deal: all the major news outfits — CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, CNN — will be covering the hearings live, while the Fox News Channel will stay with its usual prime-time lineup. Well, that’s actually good. No, it’s actually good. We’ll hear directly from the people who planned the coup.” —Stephen Colbert

“The Proud Boys are going to be prominently featured during the live hearings on Thursday, because the committee intends to present live testimony from a British documentarian who was filming the group, with their permission, during the riot. Why do you let a film crew follow you while you commit treason? Well, same reason Benedict Arnold commissioned that painting of him handing over the plans.” —Stephen Colbert

“Now, if you’re not familiar with the Proud Boys, that sounds lovely. But as a refresher, they’re a far-right, anti-immigrant, all-male group who take their name from an obscure show tune from the Disney musical ‘Aladdin’ entitled ‘Proud of Your Boy.’ It was actually their second Disney song choice. Originally, they were the Supercalifragilisticexpiali-douchebags.” —Stephen Colbert
