"The first time I ever really listened to Kyle Kulinski’s show was in the back of a cab last summer. The driver had his phone hooked up through the stereo and was pumping out an episode through the car speakers - loudly, as if looking to convert a captive audience.
“Do you like Kyle Kulinski?”
The driver, Ahmed, was a recent immigrant and apparently a die-hard fan of Secular Talk, the political talk show that Kulinski broadcasts on UA-cam. I told him, yes, in fact. I do like Kulinski, had come across his show several years ago, and, all things considered, he seemed pretty good.
“He understands what we’re up against,” Ahmed said. “Like Bernie.”
But I was surprised to hear Kulinski’s name mentioned in the same breath as Bernie Sanders, particularly with such adoration. Because what I did remember about Kulinski’s show struck me as mostly capital-P “progressive” takes on the news - the left wing of the Netroots crowd more than the democratic socialism Sanders has popularized.
It’s an impression that wasn’t entirely incorrect.
“I have no time for philosophical, airy bullshit,” Kulinski tells me from his home in Westchester, New York. “I don’t want to hear about Lenin. I don’t want to hear about Marx. I just want a super plainspoken, straightforward agenda with a straightforward way of selling it.”
With over 800,000 subscribers and nearly 670 million total views on UA-cam, selling a progressive agenda is clearly something Kulinski knows how to do - even Democracy Now, the long-standing flagship of progressive media, cannot match his reach on the platform. Chapo Trap House can certainly boast a wildly devoted fan base (and a not insignificant degree of media influence), but their audience is roughly half the size of Kulinski’s.
While Secular Talk might be more likely to be looped in with the progressive networks around Air America and Pacifica alums like Sam Seder than the more resolutely socialist world, Kulinski’s fiery rhetoric, razor-sharp class instincts, and knack for withering takedowns sets him apart from his peers. Judging by his rhetoric alone, he’s closer to a Eugene Debs than a Chris Hayes.
But unlike Hayes, Amy Goodman, or his friend Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks - who began airing Secular Talk on his web network seven years ago - the thirty-two-year-old Kulinski is virtually invisible in the mainstream media. Despite his enormous fan base, his show has never once been mentioned in the obligatory trend pieces on “the Millennial Left” pumped out by the prestige media. Nor has Kulinski’s name ever popped up at all in the New York Times, Vox, the New Yorker, New York Magazine, or the Washington Post, despite his leading role in cofounding Justice Democrats, the organization widely credited with sweeping Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the rest of “the Squad” to power.
Just last week, his Wikipedia page was deleted. The reason? “There is very simply no [reliable source] coverage of this person,” according to one moderator. In new media, he’s king - the Sean Hannity of the Berniecrat left. In old media, he’s nobody.
I suspect there are a few reasons for that. There is nothing “cool” about Kulinski’s show. (As a friend put it, “‘Welcome to Secular Talk’ sounds like something you’d hear on Egyptian radio.”) His no-nonsense social-democratic politics won’t get him much cred with the Full Communism crowd. He records his show not in Brooklyn or Los Angeles, but in a studio he built himself in his modest Westchester home. His hair is too groomed and his taste in clothes too preppy to qualify as “Dirtbag Left.” Nor has he ever attended an n+1 release party. “Not only have I not attended one,” he says, “I have no idea what that means.”
And yet he’s astonishingly plugged-in for a young man in the suburbs. Wondering how Sanders ended up on the Joe Rogan Experience? Kulinski, a frequent guest on Rogan’s wildly popular show, introduced them. “You make the most sense to me,” Rogan told Kulinski on a recent episode. “You’re a normal person.”
Much like Sanders himself, Kulinski’s show has a massive audience that just doesn’t compute with our media’s understanding of “what the kids want” or even “what the left-wing kids want.”
It’s probably for the best - the very woke and very WASP-ish decorum haunting much of the media world is nowhere to be found in Secular Talk. “Corporate Democrats over-focus on identity as a trick to divert you from the issues that unite us all - class issues,” he said on a recent episode.

Even if she stood up to Trump, she still supported her dad's warcrime in Iraq that left hundreds of thousands dead and refused to atttend her own sister's wedding because she's gay. Liz is still an awful person who had a broken clock moment on Trump.
She's also anti-abortion to the point of claiming back in 2019 that Democrats endorsed the KILLING OF BABIES AFTER BIRTH.
TIL that Liz Cheney's sister's sister is based.
"Perhaps I treated you too harshly 😔"
She has blatantly spread misinformation about everything from abortion to the immigration rights, the only reason she isn’t singing these tunes anymore is because she got betrayed by her party.
@@lilben4184whaaa?
@@lilben4184 what??? Are you drunk, high, or both?
she is aware of the problem of trump.................... but unwilling to admit why so many republicans support trump
Are you or Kyle willing to admit why so many democrats support corporate dems and the squad who run cover for them?
Genuine question because i think it may help you understand her cognitive dissonance.
@@TCt83067695 Because liberals are still more favorable than Christofascists?
@@TCt83067695 she isnt suffering from cognitive dissonance.................. she is sharp and she KNOWS the reasons but isnt willing to say them out loud because that damns the whole party in a way that makes it indefensible................ she is still hoping to get her hands back on the levers of power after trumpism is done, IMHO............
and lets not pretend that the reason trump has millions of reality deprived cultist followers who support him blindly are akin to the reason kyle, or I, might pull the lever for a 'corporate dem' over a republican ...........ffs.................
trump has an ACTIVE CULT of support, not an army of folks holding their noses and voting for him as the least of two evils.............
@@TCt83067695 An auto-generated bot account spitting out ChatGPT-generated statements to try and create dissonance in the chat? Feels like it. I can't speak for Kyle, but I'm sure he'd very actively agree that the Democrats are just as bad in what you just said.
This is something I've noticed a lot of right-wingers seem to assume: If you slam the GOP, then you must be a Dem lover. No, not true at all. They're both bad, and I don't want either, but if I have to choose between the two, then I have no intention of voting for the one proclaiming they want to be a dictator.
@@TCt83067695 Unfortunately, we're trapped in the Lesser-of-Two-Evils system. Does a third party candidate have any chance at all?
Basically, her answer was "you're a man and you are interrupting a woman" and then "we shouldn't point out that Republicans almost entirely fell in love with Trump or assume that anything before Trump led Republicans to do that."
I guess we're supposed to just act confused about it and we dare not ponder the question of why the "party of freedom" seems to have fallen in love with Trump like no politician before him. I guess we'll just have to shrug our shoulders.
To be fair, Liz admitted to Colbert that 0.1% of Republicans agreed with her that Trump committed treason. However, that begs the next logical question of WHY THEN ARE YOU RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT?
Guess we'll just never know.
Idk her “let me answer” request was fair at that moment.
@@Stan_sprinkle You mean her "let me toss my salad of the words just a bit longer" request.
I think Majority Report had a good quip about it, that her own dad had if not tailored the "dictator suit" for someone like Trump to wear, he at least bought the fabric.
And my own two cents: it was Gingrich and Fox News that did the actual tailoring part for her dad. We can go all the way back to Nixon, Reagan, Paul Weyrich, when it comes to the advertising strategy for Republicans that Liz also took part in, but the most concrete enabling and establishment of Executive overreach was still her own dad, all the way back to the 80's and cemented when he was puppeteering W.
liv is worth about 40 or 50 million and her father is estimated to be at 150 million - yeah, she is NOT elite at all!
Right?... Her snide little quip that Colbert had used "a very elitist word" as if to say, "Look at me audience, I'm just a regular, down to Earth person like you," was gross. Not only is she and her family worth hundreds of millions of dollars as you've pointed out, but she's been in and around politics her entire life, graduated with a law degree from one the countries most prestigious law schools, etc, etc, etc. She is the very embodiment of elite, regardless of whether or not she chooses to feign otherwise..... and I'd bet on her knowing exactly what picante means.
Stuff like that triggers me so much. Like stop acting like you're a normal person when you aren't.
And if she is being serious and only has a basic vocabulary and level of education despite having so much wealth and privilege then that is even worse because it shows how much the standards of society have fallen.
I don't even mind when someone from the upper echelons of British society starts quoting things in Latin in Parliament and speaking eloquently with a super posh accent (as long as he's not being arrogant about it) because at least that's who they are and it at least it preserves a decent level of education. @@TrentRidley
For crying out loud! She only did the right thing after her life was in danger! She still doesn’t care if our kids are shot in school or women have control over their bodies. Trust her at your peril.
Indeed
You don't need to trust her. But you do need her on your team regardless at this specific moment. That doesn't have to mean bending over backwards for her and suddenly being best pals. Just understand she has a far better reach on the other side than you do and you have a common goal that is of the utmost importance.
@@matiasdives5988 We don’t need her and the other side threw her out like yesterday’s trash. She only needs to peel off a small percentage of independents and democrats and she has a real shot at the White House. See her for the weasel she is!
@@matiasdives5988 Why do we need this LOSER and COWARD Remember people like Cheney paved the way for Trump they expect Progressives to save America only to stab us in the back at the first chance
“The left has a huge problem with anti-Semitism”
Has Diz Cheney been to FloriDUH recently?
They’re holding right wing “Not-See” rallies!
I live in Florida! What the heck are you talking about?! I’ve been all over the place in my state due to work and nothing but nice people. I’m sure like anywhere else there are idiots, but like in the rest of the country it’s a very small percentage. This is the kind of BS that creates division. I’ve also been to a lot of states in our union, good people there too.
They leave out Charlottesville everytime too. Those tiki torches weren’t left wing
@@mr.saturn7833 North Orlando, Altamonte Springs at Cranes Roost Park Is where the march was
@@mr.saturn7833I never see homeless people or drug addicts, I guess those problems don’t exist then. 🤷♂️
@@BanditTools I see homeless people and drug addicts every time I go downtown. Still no White Supremacist rallies. So, an event happens somewhere in a state with over twenty-two million people and there are problems? If they had a rally or marched down a street, and got permits, they have the right to do so based on the First Amendment. Again, idiots, racist and confused individuals exist in this world. What I’m saying is that the majority of people are not racist and are basically trying to live their lives.
She thinks trump is an "aberration" and not a representation of the party. Well you didn't get "removed" from the party due to trump alone.
Pretty sure they were saying "aberration" no?

5:30 thank you for pointing out her bullshit. This "anti israel? Must be pro-nazi/anti-semitic" thing is such a weak move they keep pushing every time they get in a tough conversation. Get used to it, because I think it's going to be their new favorite move every time they gotta think critically about a political adversary's points.
New?
Colbert is a shadow of his earlier work, but once in a while he does well.
His comedy is unfortunately hampered by the late night format but he's always been a fantastic interviewer
Eh, because he's not specifically a political commentator in taking over this show, he's gotta be more of a general entertainer for a wider audience.
Idk why everyone expects him to fawn over every guest like he's Fallon; yeah he's a liberal but ffs he's left of Stewart and both of them have still always been closer to us commie heathens than lefty commentators ever give them credit for. Ffs the only reason I'm aware of, let alone listen to any of these channels, is because of folks like Colbert. That's the *actual* gateway drug. 😂
Its the difference of the network. Comedy Central had no worries about rubbing people the wrong way politically because well its Comedy Central. Likewise his "Boss" effectively was Jon Stewart since he was the Executive Producer on his show. I can't speak to whether or not the content of his old show actually reflected his more strongly held ideals or not but assuming they did, he isn't on a network he can fight with them.
He has become the exact thing he made fun of
Colbert is establishment AF
Why did people forget about how bad the Bush and Trump years were, but they perfectly remember every last living thing that hated about the Obama and Biden years?
Lot of those people are racist bigots who will call the cops to harrass a blackman who looks at them sideways. 😂
Because it's conservatives and centrists who have dementia about the Bush and Trump years and remember everything bad under Obama and Biden. Liberals remember everything horrible about Bush and Trump but forget about Obama and overlook Biden. Only leftists consistently remember the problems under *every* president. Everyone else is a fucking opportunist, only remembering what fits their preconceived biases.
Oh, easy. Because apparently Bush's recession was somehow retroactively Obama's fault, and the Iraq war was all the Dem's fault despite ~60% of all Democrats (combined House and Senate) voting against it, where literally all but 7 Republicans voted for it. Because apparently only remaining "career Dems" were there at the time... Surely no Republican has been left over from that time, like a brain-freezing turtle, a delicate flower like Miss Lindsey, a fossil they call Chuck Grassley, this vile bitch via her dad's nepotism, etc..
That's why, because nothing bad happened back then that was the fault of Republicans, only Democrats. Pffff 🙄😂
far left propaganda drilling it into everyones heads all the time. and russian propaganda. for years kyle simped for rt news like it was anything other then fake news.
Fox News (assuming that wasn’t a rhetorical question)
Hes an abberation!?!? With 90% Republican support *He's an abberation?!?*
Great point.
It’s crazy how time softens the actual bad behavior. Before 2006 I had been a Republican each and every voting year going back to 1992. I left the party once I understood they had lied about Iraq and started letting the racism creep back into the party, I guess it never really left though.
Darcydj, right there with you! As a Democrat I swore I would never vote for anyone who voted for that war. I don't think we are as far apart as they want us to believe. It's the radicals on both sides that keep us from having a real conversation to fix things.
I left the republican party in 1992 because of the way they were going about destroying the middle class and destroying the unions with illegal migrates from Mexico. It was because of the trickled down economics from the Regan republicans that the homeless population exploded in the USA and their love for war and lust to rule the world has left us a national debt of 34 trillion dollars.
Personally, I think she’s vying for a position on MSNBC or CNN. She’s not blind to the fact that there’s a swath of elitist corporate Dems who like her - “the courage to oppose Trump!” blah blah - and never-Trump conservatives are heralded on those networks. Plus, she loves the sound of her own voice.
And luckily she has a book out where she explains how stunning and brave she is 😂
She's following the Morning Joe playbook.
If she is anything like her father, she’s a devil worshipper.
They like them because then they could easily ignore the left
@@901Wes I doubt her book will sell too many copies.
The Cheney presidency is the reason I got into politics. My first presidential vote was for Kerry because of how Cheney (and also Bush I guess) handled the aftermath of 9/11. So no, I do not forgive, nor do I forget, what Republicans did prior to Trump.
Dont forget they are still hiding secrets of what actually happened on that day.
I swear to you during the Bush years I thought, there’s no way there could ever be a more incompetent or ignorant president. Bush at the time lowered the bar so much so, I thought it to be the lowest it could go. But boy how young and naive was I? Everything about Trump is humiliating.
@@TheCarelessAquarius That's how I felt, and then McCain named Palin his running-mate and it occurred to me he could die in office, leaving her in charge.
Yeah I mean, Dems are just as violent historically and currently. Obama’s Afghanistan was more violent than Bush’s. Literally no single president has ever been good. Def suggest you listen to Blowback, Behind the Bastards or Death is Just Around the Corner
@@TheCarelessAquarius Trump makes Bush look like a genius. The Republican stock keeps declining.
All the Dems I know are giving her props on this one thing but still know what a true Cheney she is. Awful.
if they vote democrats with her inside them, they are not democrats. they are crypto republicans
All status quo Reagan liberals who care more about feelings then actual actions or legislation
Yeah...I don't know why she deserves so many props. She hates trump ...but voted with him for 96%. So
I don’t think Liz has a serious voter base from either party.
There’s a lot of Dems clapping like trained seals over this woman.
However, the media and corporate Dems, like Schumer, are more than happy to overlook all that time she voted with her party/defendant tre45on. 🤬
@@karinaz8756agree....when I see or bush being talked as though this is the second coming...by Dems. It is annoying
I have run across a few Democrats who would vote for her. She should endorse Biden & forget about running if she is serious about protecting the country from Trump. Christie should also endorse Biden in the general election if he is serious.
Just bring up Medicare & Social Security and Liz will retreat back to her vampire lair.
Truth! Or, LGBTQIA rights....
Says she stood before her party and said "We can't become the party of anti antisemitism and white supremacy and racism and bigotry"
BUT THEY KICKED YOU OUT LIZ
"Trump is an abberation"
Also voted in line with Trump 95% of the time.
I think she doesn't quite know what "abberation" is.
Become? A little late....
Wait, how can she admit that Trump is a fascist using fascist tactics, but then dismiss people saying he’d unravel the Constitution if elected again as “catastrophizing?”
I think you missheard or misunderstood her. She wasn't dismissing that, she was saying we shouldn't dismiss people saying that. Which was why Colbert agreed with her after she'd finished that paragraph.
@@AholeAtheist What Colbert was asking was, "Isn't Trump's base made up of millions of people who long for a U.S. of white, male, Christian dominance?" Here's a shorter one: Hey, Liz, doesn't a huge majority of your party want the Confederacy restored? (Let's cut to the chase.)
There was never any question about Trump’s character. She acts like she discovered sliced bread. So does Chris Christie.
Even a Broken Clock Is Right Twice A Day means Liz can be reliable if her freedom and posperity is about to be taken away.
She is 100% Illuminati.
The bar is so comically low.
Nicely done. Stephen didn't let Cheney's spin go unchallenged, but discussed it with her like a reasonable adult. Too many of the late night hosts suck up to such guests, not holding them responsible for their actions.
Republican voters discarded their principles like a snake shedding its skin the moment Trump spoke to their more deplorable baser instincts. He's like a weed that may have been unwelcome by some but would not have lasted long in a left wing garden, but flourished in theirs and for some reason they don't feel they need to answer for that.
Liz Cheney is as likable as winter in the north east!!
To be fair to Colbert, she was attempting to answer a question he didn't ask, which is why he was accidentally preventing her from answering. He was trying to get her back on track, and she turned that into him not allowing her to answer the question. Very frustrating.
goose stepping at its finest. horrible self-preserving tactic to use there.
Yeah, he should have just said something along the lines of, "By all means, say something that actually addresses the question I asked and I'll gladly stop interrupting you."
@@TrentRidley He was going for civility. Unfortunately, that makes it very hard to get people to actually answer questions they don't want to answer.
Trump telegraphed his authoritarian tendencies from the beginning. She knew who he was just like the rest of us, but that didn’t stop her from voting for him twice. I appreciate her finally speaking out, but apparently it took her personally running from Trump’s mob to get her there. At least she is making the right noises now. That makes her a beacon of integrity in today’s GOP.
Censorship, experimental drug mandates, using justice system to go after political opponents, 84,000 missing children from the border, yes that is Biden the real authoritarian.
She was probably hoping he'd accomplish exactly what he did: overturning Roe. And that's all that mattered to her.
all this talk is childish. Biden is openly supporting an actual GENOCIDE. The DNC Party is collaborating with a fascist Isreali State.
@@CanItAlready It's like his own SCOTUS picks, once they got the job they didn't need him anymore.
before the 2020 election he was already "Well I think I'm owed a third term because they've been so unfair to me"
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Trump is not a political aberration he is the republican political norm. He is just out and open about it.
He’s the political norm, if you think democrats aren’t corrupt too you’re fooling yourself.
@@MikeLive1285- Yes, they are, but the differences in kind and degree are _very_ significant. If I have to vote for one of them (and apparently I do), I would be derelict in a wide range of duties to choose _anyone_ with an (R) at the federal level.
When he was elected, the republicans thought they could control him & use him to do their bidding! He flipped out on them because you can’t contain, direct or control Crazy!!! It was ok when his vileness & hatred was directed at others, but when it turned in their direction it became a problem. Like my mom said, when you have a monster, you have 2 choices. Feed it or kill it. The so called Republican Party chose to feed it. January 6 was the result in their feeding, coddling, making excuses, explaining away or gaslighting his behavior!!!
@@MikeLive1285But the Republican's are the worst though!
@@pattidick9310 they are all evil, they keep us distracted but fighting with each other about who is worse.
More problematic for me was the way in which the supposedly liberal crowd cheered her. How quickly people forget.
I dont agree, that she "crumbled" per se but it didnt go as she had hoped it would lol she is still a Cheney Afterall, Colbert is always good for that
Her dad was like in the rooms when they gave Bush unitary executive authority (or whatever its called). Her dad built the foundational playbook. Bush and Cheney enacted the patriot act. They literally made the bed we're all laying in.
Exactly!.
Also dick Cheney trying to call VP a executive branch role AND a legislative branch ( president of Senate) as a way to avoid congressional oversight, iirc
@r_ds8057 they're so incompetent they can't even ban together to help us defeat this monstrosity they created.

Ex-Presidents are like seasons of Saturday Night Live. The current one is so bad that it makes the past ones look good.
Hahaha! Well said! Though there are some sparks if genius sprinkled in. You just reminded me of Melissa McCarthy's Sean Spicer (dude who hid in the bushes, right?) She had me in tears!
At one point Reinhard Hiedrich could come back and say mean things about Trump and they’d be like “hey! Let’s hear Reinhard out”

@@insightfulhistorian1861 "This German is making a lot of sense!"
@@shanemac1646 Smfh yeah, pretty much. Americans are so poorly educated and reactionary that you can get them to applaud and agree to anything as long as you hit the right buzzwords and emotional notes.
Your comment through me off because I was thinking, "there's one in the present?"🤦 Past noon, and my brain's still not awake!
Bush was very bad, but not nearly as horrible as Trump. Trump was a total catastrophe how he handled the corona crisis. Ukraine war is his fault and the horrible withdrawal from Afghanistan went this wrong because of his groundwork. Not to forget that he emboldened Israel to make these mistakes Netanyahu has made.
Let’s not forget he also outsourced over 200,000 manufacturing jobs, and ramped up the drone war.
I still hold the believe that Bush and Trump are roughly equal, but Trump is slightly worse. But when I think about the Bush era, I’m mostly thinking about Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, John Ashcroft, and Karl Rove. They were the smart ones who ran the criminal operation from 2000 to 2008.
Bush was a million timed worse then Trump, a million dead Iraqis would agree with me but they can't cuz their dead.
Trump has some work to do if he wants to rival the negative impact of the war on terror.
Loooooool imagine actually believing this
@@criticclips1560 do people forget the Iraq war? Like that alone makes him the worst president in US history. And yea I’m like including Andrew Jackson in this list
Everybody who linked Colbert in with the sh*t libs has always bothered me a bit. He is on mainstream media but I have always liked him I have been mostly in agreement with his political views and from an outsider perspective (never met him in real life) he seems like a good dude.
The shitlibs are the ones who adore and sanctify Liz Cheney as the "only Republican in Congress to stand up to Trump." They're unserious, ignorant yuppie latte libs without a clue what's truly at stake in this nation should the GOP have its way.

@@901Wes ...And because of it, as much as I consider him the only real journalist that's been allowed on modern MSM, he doesn't have this level of reach to toss out an ambush like this when the opportunity arises, because he simply wouldn't get there in this media landscape. Would you prefer someone like Fallon getting this interview in front of this big of an audience? We need different sorts doing different jobs covering different bases, enough with the fucking purity tests already. 🙄
He's using a fascist playbook that her father wrote many chapters of, republicans and moderate democrats had no problem removing peoples rights whenever it suited their purposes. what other than fascism could the patriot act be called?
Well, that was a short presidential run. 😆
Any Cheney would NEVER get my vote and NEVER did.
I wonder what our lives would’ve been like had Al Gore contended the results more forcefully and won. 🤔
AltHistory Hub.....? 😸
I remember when I was a kid during the Bush Jr years that being Republican was more associated with angering and annoying other people. To want to anger and annoy people is to want to control their emotions. Which evolves into just wanting to control them. Hence why the end point is a dictator.
Thanks for saying this! I’ve been so stressed about this little alliance the Dems have with the Lincoln Republicans. We’re here because of the Lincoln Project Republicans!
Kyle well done. 100%
Her own father is a perfect example of what Colbert is saying.
Fascism is corporatism; left and right embrace its economic principles.
Regardless of any like or dislike of Cheney or Colbert, I appreciated the handshakes Colbert gave in the “Ah, ya got me on that one” moments.
And when Cheney said “We’re not gonna agree” and omg, like normal humans they could continue debating.
I miss civil debates.
Haven’t seen Colbert in a while so this is cool
Bro he grayed so much since the last time I watched him.
I don’t think we missed all that much since the last time we saw him
Because he's not worth watching lol
@@cigarettebref Does he have to be Abbie Hoffman to be worth watching to you, or is it just a dig at Late Night formats? Lol
The last time we saw Colbert, he was dancing in a syringe costume
i have such visceral disgust for Republicans like this.
Your analysis is 100% on the mark Kyle
The electorate doesn't have a memory, that's the most dangerous part of our politics.
Who would the dems “demagogue” be? Jamie Dimon? The salesforce guy? Or Mark Cuban?
I remember the Bush administration (both of them, actually), and Bush2 was horrible, just like his Dad. I despised him then, and still do. And Liz-just like her Daddy- is terrible on her own merits. I never fell for the Liz Cheney hug fest that so many Dems sold out to. How short the memory of some folks.
I like that one SNL sketch about 4-5 years back when Will Ferrel’s George W. Bush reminds that audience that he was a bad - a terrible, in fact - president, and that America shouldn’t miss his presidency.
“Ready or not
Here I come
You can’t hide-
I’m gonna find youuu, and make you love me~”
There's no difference between Liz and Donnie when it comes to policies, no matter how she frames it she voted for him whilst in Congress 99.9% of the time, she just can't stand his behavior.
Someone else being a massive cxnt doesn't mean lesser cxnts aren't cxnts
Yup, Liz voted with Trump 92.9 percent of the time...and yeah, they built this mess years ago.
Exactly what I've been saying about Trump vs. Bush Jnr. (Or any other Republican since Reagan) ever since Trump was elected. The only difference between him and Bush really is that Trump gives up the game by not talking in coded Washington language, that's why they hate him, not for any of the actually good reasons to hate him.
Bush sr and Bush jr and rush limbaugh are what made Trump
@@sheldonmarcotte8392 Reagan and Nixon as well
Well, I disagree a tiny bit from your statement... and don't get me wrong I _really_ am not a fan of 43's years as POTUS since I got to see so many suffer as a result of 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq. Anyway, I disagree because while I find W to be 45th (out of 46) in a list of best to worst Presidents he still has 2 or 3 things that separate him from Trumpster. #1. W is actually a conservative Christian that has read the Bible, nothing like DJT. I'm an atheist, so his religion doesn't matter to me - but at least he's honest about his faith. #2. I have zero doubt W wouldn't deliberately set out to abolish the Constitution and that he loves America, DJT on the other hand loves exactly one thing, DJT. #3. Bush is friends with Michelle Obama so he can't be all bad. Again I stress, I am *not* a fan of his time as President and in 2009 I believed he would go down I. History as the worst POTUS in U.S. History. Little did I know we could do worse.
Thank you for this historical comparison.
"... a lot of people in this country who feel their voice isnt heard ..." well, thats what a FPTP electoral system with gerrymandered districts and an electoral college on top does to a nation. Its not a bug, its by design the only problem is that a republic can only for so long weather the disconnect between what it should be and what it truly is. Anyway ...
Truth. We have been in denial of these "features, not bugs" throughout most of our history. It's about time "We, the people" figured out a way to change these things. At minimum, we need to replace the corporate sell-outs in Congress, at max a Constitutional convention. 🌊✊

Excellent segment. I am old enough to remember that 2000 election. Disgusting.
My humble tribute to the algorithm.
Thank you for this. When dems start putting Liz up for President etc. it sends me into a rage. She was just as much a part of what led to trump as Reagan, Gingrich and her daddy. A multimillionaire is not brave for loosing her seat. She said she was glad Roe v Wade was overturned. Then she goes on Maddox etc. to sell her book and they all kiss her ass. Don’t you know she would sit at home and laugh her ass off at the stupid libs. This is one reason I don’t watch MSNBC anymore. I was still watching Mehdi. Fortunately an intelligent comedian steps in. Boy did he make her mask slip. She showed her MAGAness when she called him an elite. Her a multimillionaire raised by a multimillionaire. Him a man that worked hard and did without to be where he is. Her slimy as hell. Him a person to emulate.
every word I don't know is elitist
Such an excellent point, Kyle.
I bet Krystal draxes Kyle at chess
I mean, one of the easiest ways to dismantle her to ask: "isn't it fair that you wouldn't be in the position of power if all of Florida's votes were counted correctly? After all, Al Gore won Florida which meant he actually won..."
Why he should have an actual Historian on the show to explain all of this. instead of a hack that's trying to rewrite history
I would also blame media outlets like fox news and irresponsible journalism for helping to plant that seed.
Good to see Colbert hasn't totally cut his balls off for the MSM. W was definitely way worse than Trump.
Bush was establishment. The establishment left (Pelosi) persecutes the right. And the establishment right (Cheney) persecutes the left. The establishment rules as authoritarian shadow government. Anyone who isn’t a Freemason, Jesuit, Skull and Bones, etc gets Trump or JFK treatment.
You have to love how OBLIVIOUS Liz was to some of the subtle jabs Colbert kind of did.
"Reflection over the past 20 years" Tell me Liz, who was vice president 20 years ago? Oh? Your father?
"Tend to kill a lot of people" Remind me Liz... isn't your father considered a war criminal for the Iraq War?
But Liz opened herself up and sadly Colbert didn't spring upon it when she said "Well Trump preyed upon their patriotism". Oh, and your father and Bush didn't? When 9/11 happened, your father helped lie to the American people about non-existing 'weapons of mass destruction' to invade a country that had NOTHING to do with the terrorist attack!
I thought Colbert had been cancelled. Interesting to see I was wrong.
The show canceled or culturally?
The handshakes = so cringe!!!
Liz chaney is his daughter ??? Am I the only one who thought she was his wife???
Why did Trump not demand that Cheney be charged with warcrimes when he was in office.? It WS such a necessary and obvious thing to do.
But Kyle, he's also the natural endpoint of what the Democrats have been doing for decades. If all the opposition party can do is track the movement of the fascist arm and retain a relative position to them, all they are actually doing is maintaining their brand of being only slightly less evil, which in turn makes it possible for the political body to incrementally shift its weight to the right.
This is a good point. The Dems are truly pathetic in their opposition to what has occured.
Exactly, that is what I a also left a comment about. Kyle is way too much of a MSNBC liberal sometimes to think clearly.
It's so great to hear the message of the BIG picture! I REMEMBER a day when young Bush was in office and there was a person with a riffle that shot at the capital. The news station reporting it said that the bullet proof glass stopped the bullet, but there was no worry because - the Vice President (Chaney) was in the inner offices in meetings and the President (Bush) was down in the gym exercising. Good to know the President was safe - but no one pressed the fact that the PRESIDENT was in a gym when he should have been at meetings himself. It pointed out to me that Dick Chaney - and all the other members that had worked on the original Bush Sr. and now in the positions for younger Bush - were actually running our country! Saddens me that no one will see my comment two weeks after this broadcast.
Thanks for the warning Kyle! It's easy to get carried away by her comfortable manner.
Thank you!!!!
Undermining the media is not fascist. Controlling the media is fascist.
I instantly, without any hesitation rolled my eyes when he said she has a book lol
Haha, right?... She wouldn't be on a late night talk show otherwise.
I agree that people are upset with Israel, not the Jewish people generally.

Cheney never wants to discuss HOW we got to Trump. If we don’t figure out how this happened, we’ll never be able to prevent it in the future.
I\ haven’t forgone how terrible the Reagan era Republicans were much less the W era Republicans. The left does have their own massive problem with anti-semitism. As a Bernie supporter attending many Bernie rallies in NYC I witnessed it first hand many times and it made me very concerned about it at the time and said so. Having acknowledged this fact, the Republican Party has their own huge anti-Semitic problem as well. In many cases they are out publicly about being Neo-Nazis. The left takes great offense over white people judging what is and isn’t racism to excuse their racism, while non-Jews on the left are more than willing to judge what is and isn’t anti-semitism to excuse their own anti-Semitism. The Left - “from the river to the sea” The right - “Jews won’t replace us.” You’re all full of it.
Where was her outrage and courage when they stole two SCOTUS seats?
Trump is the logical conclusion of what Nixon and Reagan started. Yet Luz Cheney takes no accountability for her party putting in place policies and rhetoric that allowed Trump to win and flourish. Gross.
You make a good point that you can hold two thoughts.
Liz Cheney voted for Donald Trump twice, and felt he was qualified to be president. I don't need to say more.
Trump just highlighted the problem with the Republican Party…it’s been a terrible party since the 60s. Reagan made it worse and the Donald showed just how bad it has become. 🤷🏼♀️
And the thing is I don't agree with the Idea that Trump is worse than Bush era republicans, because NOTHING in recent US history is worse than Bush Era republicans!
I can't believe this guy looked in the face of this absolute war criminal whose father committed countless atrocities, and said to her that "for the first time" we have a fascist in office. These people live in another planet. And they almost really do. They're so privileged and out of touch that they almost live in an alternate reality to the working class.
I don’t think she accounted for herself so poorly…and expecting her to call out her own father is a bit unrealistic.
“Let’s just say it the republicans are the problem.” This was written in 2012.
“The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.
When one party moves this far from the mainstream, it makes it nearly impossible for the political system to deal constructively with the country’s challenges.” - Ornstein and Mann
From a foreign policy perspective, I don't know how anyone could argue that George Bush was not worse than Donald Trump.
George bush is was worst the trump. Honestly I’m not a trump fan but he was better then the last Obama, bush, and biden. Foreign policy, but I also think he’s in love with autocrats lol
I'm a Colbert fan but I was very disappointed in the way he treated Liz Cheney. It was disrespictful amost to the point of hostility to an American Hero. If it wasn't for her fine work and organizational skills on the January 6 Committe we might never have seen our comatose Attorney General ever shamed into appointing a prosecutor and charges brought to put away a traitorous criminal! Steven behaved shamefully simply because of political differences. Those charges should have been brought a full year earlier!
Something I have never heard anyone talk about is, what does it do to the psyche of a country, knowing that you were invaded, occupied countless killed...all based on some lazy lies.
Cheney only stood up for the Constitution. That's the only reason why we don't 100% despise her. You need to watch the whole Maddow show to understand why she had her on.
The simple question is this: If Trump is an "aberration", then why was she the one that was kicked out of her position within the party, while Trump is going to be the party's Presidential candidate in 2024?
There is no appreciable difference between Trump and Reagan.
I just found your channel today and I’ve watched several of your video. I like your presentation and the facts. You have a new subscriber.
The fake border crisis did not start with Trump. I sort wish Cobert had put together a list of all the Trump issues and then compare those issues to what existed in the republican party, before Trump. Definitely, racism, bigotry, etc. etc. existed way before Trump.
