Late Night with Seth Meyers

-School shootings? Police don't roll in like this.
-Government insurrection? Police don't roll in like this.
-Unarmed college kids peacefully protesting? Of course police roll in like this.
Exactly! I really wonder how protest marches against the Vietnam War, for Women's Lib, against Apartheid etc. could work. It's as bad as in Europe, I fear. Right wingers dominating. Suppression of peaceful protests. Disgusting behaviour of police forces, hypocrisy all over. 😢
Ya nailed it bud!
WOW ! What a valid point! So, so true. 👍👍👍
But they had bike locks!!
OMG excellent, amazing point!! And even the rare times police show in force they do literally nothing. They crouch in fear of a lone shooter while children are slaughtered. Why do we live like this.
Bernie is the one politician who is consistently on the moral side of history. Thank you, Bernie.
Bernie hates trump
I agree.
We really screwed up on that one.
He took longer to call for a ceasefire than _Alex friggin Jones_ did
But otherwise, 100%
"call for a ceasefire"... Like any side in a foreign conflict is gonna step down from their decades of agenda and surrender because a senator or UA-camr said they should 🤦
Imagine how much different our history would have been if Bernie had received, as was his due, the nomination. I would venture a bet that Baby Hitler would have lost resoundingly biggly, and we'd be in the tail end of a second Bernie term.
How spoiled Mike Johnson must be, to assume college students must all have their tuition paid by their parents like his probably was. And saying that during a student loan debt crisis too! The audacity!
Also, like, WTF is the House Speaker doing horning in on a university's policies? Talk about cojones. And by the way, among the people who are wasting parents' money is the House-- how much tax money are all those endless investigations against the Bidens doing us? And what helpful actions have the House GOP actually taken, things that benefit their constituents?
@@sundayoliver3147 He's trying to divert attention to something he thinks he can unite Republicans on: being suspicious of education and belittling and smearing 'liberal' students and their valid peaceful protests.
They don't like education. They falsely think it teaches kids loads of Marxism, as if students don't study all systems in the world, including capitalism, feudalism, monarchies, revolutions etc. It is usually the most ignorant and most proud of their ignorance who do this. You'll see "School of Hard Knocks" in their profiles because they think they're smarter and students are arrogant in an ironic twist.
Not saying all students *are* smarter, FYI, nor is formal education the only, or best way to become educated, but clearly I'm criticising the sort of person who makes false presumptions about college despite never having gone. When one is so arrogant about proclaiming they are smarter than a whole set of people who have opted to take on more formal education, that is clearly not smart, but simply ignorant and arrogant. They tend not be self-aware enough to realise this most of the time.
Also FAOD, I don't think I'm smarter than any group of persons, regardless of whether they went to college or not, but I do know I know more on specific areas when I study a subject properly. People who dismiss such studies, particularly when they have no relevant information, are fools IMHO.
"Outside, well-armed, professional agitators came in to escalate the situation." Yeah, they're called cops.
There WERE professional agitators. Take off the blindfolds.
@@vadimastprojects8770 Yes like the guy at northwest that showed up with an Israel flag shouted "Kill all the Jews" and was booed into silence and told to leave by the pro-Palestinian protestors...

Being anti-Netanyahu does not equal being pro-Hamas, it equals pro-peace. Back to you, Seth, you give me needed laughs every time!
You can be pro-Isreal and pro-Palestine while also being Anti-Nstanyahu and Anti-Hamas
@@erichfiedler1481the reson he is keeping this up is to avoid an election he cant win
We 3rd world people are realising how our corruption was learnt
@@VMan29397 you're talking about Trump, right?
It makes you anti-genocide
Mike Johnson: Stop wasting your parents money
How about you stop wasting your constituent's money and do YOUR jobs!
he only cares about lobbyists money
"Students, you are here to become the future work force of the billionaires who donate to me. Stop making me look bad, or you're grounded."
At least he didn't shut the government down and he passed the spending bill for foreign aid. I don't like that they are giving away our money, but at least we are not putting troops on the ground anywhere. 7 trillion spent on Iraq and Afghanistan.... Sounds like an aid package is much cheaper than getting directly involved
Yeah, what a person to tell others how to accomplish their job... just a sterling example...
Hush, you ...
It's telling how the news is covering the protests where the police responded with violence like at Columbia, UT Austin, and Emory, but there's been very little news coverage of the protests at Princeton and Rutgers in NJ, where the police have given the protesters space and there's been no violence at all.
Thank you for sharing the story about the university's response in North Carolina. It shows how some schools actually value their students.
In GWU in DC, the encampments are allowed to remain unless things take a violent turn. Needless to say, that hasn't garnered nearly as much attention at the crackdowns at Columbia and Emory. The local news I watch (News4 on WRC, my local NBC Station) has been covering the GWU situation, but the national news has largely ignored it, since it isn't good for ratings, I guess.
@@janebyrne6463 Exactly. Thank you for sharing! I'll be sure to mention GWU the next time someone insists that all the protests are leading to violence.
The protests in Univercity of Chicago, De Paul and Northwestern have been also peaceful here in Chicaho. The same at UIC were students are protesting since the war started and long before Columbia University.
So far, no violence reported at MSU or UofM here in Michigan either!
@@janebyrne6463 If it bleeds, it leads. If it doesn't, not so much. Still irresponsible on the media's part.
Correction Seth, Mike wasn't attacked by anyone in the parking lot, not even a pigeon. He was asked questions by a young youtuber who Mike hollered lies and insults at. I saw this before I saw Adam Mockler's interview with Lindell. Now that I saw how well the young fellow comported himself with Lindell trying to rile up a crowd around them I think the kid is very brave. More fearless than even a hungry pigeon.
Adam is great
Adam Mockler is awesome, a very smart young man. Asking some great questions, and has a ton of knowledge about the lies being told by the Maga goofs.
I was hoping Seth would say that it was not an attack.
That's right, I saw this "attack" myself. It looked like Mike Pillow was really in to it as he shouted all sorts of nonsense while verbally attacking Adam.
The CNN reporter spoke about the police mobilization at Columbia University. Imagine if the J6 insurrection was met with the same amount of force applied...
Nice.
It could have. But Trump refused to authorize that force
The Capitol Police were overrun by the MAGA mob but most of them ended up doing time ( sadly except for Trump, who may still get his ).
Trump supporters are the ones constantly mailing out death threats to politicians, judges, jury members and election workers. Our nation's police departments are completely ass backwards about what the real threats to public safety are.
Well according to Trump, Nicky Haley was in charge of the National Gaurd that day. Somehow. I don't know how, but he's said it 3 times now so I'm pretty convinced.
Boy, trying to compliment someone by referring to them as a bucket is just beyond the pail.
👏👏👏
While I have to groan at that, know that I laughed first.
Lol. I see what you did there.
you absolute son of a gun
Very good. Very very good.
That was Adam Mockler interviewing him, not attacking him. He's a solid kid doing great work, exposing these conspiracy theorists.
Lindell always sounds like he's about to cry. I guess maybe I would too if I squandered my business fortune and reputation on the rump.
At the beginning of the interview, Mikey says "I USED to be a crackhead" and just continued lying from there. Then he tried to sic the crowd of retirees at Adam.
Hearing Mike Johnson threaten to bring in the national guard, since that worked so well at Kent State. Seriously, do they have memory loss? That was within his lifetime even.
And three years too late to have helped on January 6th.
Pete Souza posted that on Instagram yesterday.
DID JOHNSON CALL THE NATIONAL GUARD ON JAN 6 ? - NO, HE WAS TOO BUSY ORGANISING AN INHOUSE COUP TO PREVENT THE CANDIDATE WITH THE MOST VOTES FROM BEING CONFIRMED AS PRESIDENT !
THIS IS WHO LECTURES MORALLY SOUND STUDENTS - ARE YOU KIDDING ! ! 🤮 😈
Those bike locks are the EXACT SAME ones that the college themselves suggested students buy.
Proof of the conspiracy! It goes straight to the top!
It is sad that the Right believe there were outside agitators. But then again, they are all about accusing others of what they themselves are guilty of
They hired TigerSwan to infiltrate protesters so of course they will belief the same occurred in other instances
I agree those locks and chains are freakin _big_ compared to what we used to use. But thieves are going around freakin hydraulic action bolt-cutters. The price you pay going a Liddel uphill is worth keeping your bike.
Isn’t that actually sold as “ The New York Chain” by Kryptonite? Maybe if the police made the city safer people in NYC could use regular locks on their bikes. Every NYPD officer knows that is just a bike lock.
The Right believe there were outside agitators because they are used to accuse others of what they themselves are guilty of
They hired TigerSwan to infiltrate protesters so of course they will believe the same occurred in other instances
I remember years ago I was involved in a protest march. Almost everyone had the same few signs.
It wasn't because someone was being paid. It was because a local man who ran a printing shop backed our cause and made the signs himself, free of charge, the night before.
They accuse the Left of using outside agitators because that is their tried and true tactic.
Remember TigerSwan?
How the Right wing hired them to infiltrate the Pipeline protestors?
Ahh, that was nice of him. I love a good sign but rarely carry my own.
Thanks for the explanation
Also part of a protest years ago, some art students helped us make signs to hand out. They weren't identical but from a distance you'd think they were.
None of these methods are uncommon, but the simplest answers aren't eye catching for "journalists" or ex-presidents.
They are so used to sending their people, like TigerSwan, to interfere with protesters that they expect it from everyone.
They always claim others are doing what they themselves have done.
As a person who has a Jewish spouse, you are absolutely correct. All of those things should be true at the same time. These college kids should not be being shot at or arrested for practicing their constitutional right to protest. Whats happening in Gaza is horrible.
When they are breaking the law they should be arrested. They can peacefully protest all they want. All they will accomplish is giving Trump another 4 years to enrich himself and his family and ruin the environment. Bernie, who I love, supporters unwillingness to vote for Hilary gave us the disaster to democracy that is our current Supreme Court.
Is anyone asking Egypt why aid can't go through from its border?
Many people are saying that it’s justice happening there.
Seth Meyers has the best writers of any late night comedy politics show! And the delivery was impeccable as always - even better with the mistakes. Thank you for covering the protests so thoughtfully.
Thank you, Seth, for calling out the officials' line that there were "outside agitators" leading the protests. They've been using that line since the 1960s (i was there, i remember). It's a way to nullify the seriousness of the student protests. I'm disheartened that the media figures have accepted this line with very little pushback.
They used that line at Kent State. That was Nixon's justification, albeit wrong, for sending in the Guard.
Exactly. They used it when the black community organized to end segregation. Bigots claimed that it was "outside agitators" coming in to disrupt their "peaceful communities."
Also, I'm disheartened, but not surprised.
Protesters go to where the protests are. Are professors or student's partners allowed to protest? Are nearby residents allowed to join? Are non citizens allowed? What laws are they basing such determinations on?
"The Establishment", both Left and Right, have too much money and too many yrs invested in Israel to back out now. Israel is the US's stronghold against the Arabic "enemy" nations, by which it is surrounded and largely despised. The Arab nations that are our sorta allies are, like Israel, defined more by their military/political import (not any inherent value, affinity, or commonality). The Palestinians, on the other hand, have nothing to offer. Mercy is hard to swallow when then US has spent decades hating Muslims and Arabs. Self- interest above all. 🤷♀️
They aren't interested in telling you who the"outside agitators" are. You are supposed to fill that in yourself based on your fear and prejudice. In the 60s, it would be communists and today, it would be Hamas.
Columbia student here. In the span of two weeks, over 200 of my fellow peers, professors, and friends were arrested. I witnessed first hand my peers be shoved, beaten, and pinned to the ground by the police, who purposefully locked out the student press and medics, threatening them with arrest so there would be no witnesses/student media coverage.
Campus now is so eerily desolate - there are barely any students left here, even less than winter break. No professors, doctors/nurses, or students living off campus are allowed. Many have lost their access to food and Columbia health services. I keep thinking to myself: what is a university without its students, its professors, its workers? They brought in an army of police officers to Columbia, but what is the use of an army if there are no students left?
Seth, I’ve been watching your content for years and I want to deeply express my gratitude and appreciation to you and your team for the comedy you are able to bring in such dark times. I am barely coping right now, but it is videos like these that keep me afloat. I am sure I am not the only student that feels this. We appreciate you and all the hard work you put into this 💙
Edited to add: Thank you all for your kind, thoughtful replies. I deeply appreciate your support. Please do not praise me - I have faced nothing compared to my arrested classmates and professors. They are far more brave than I am.
Since this is gathering a lot more attention than I expected, I would like to take the opportunity to emphasize the importance of getting information from a reliable source of media. As many of you know, media has only been allowed into Columbia from the times between 2pm - 4pm. So there has been much misinformation. If you would like to keep up with what’s going on at Columbia, please look into student press organizations, such as Spec (articles), Bwog (small updates), or WKCR (live broadcast). These organizations are the only media that has 24/7 access to Columbia and therefore provide far more objective information as to what has been going on within the past 2 weeks.
Edit 2: For those who would like to read more about what happened at Columbia, here is an Op-Ed by Columbia College Student Council:
www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/04/columbia-university-student-protest-gaza
We are all Palestinians. Demanding justice, freedom, and peace. Thank you for all the demonstrators nationwide, and all over the world. God bless you! Thank you for your courage! We are all proud of you! You are exemplary of what humanity should be! Thank you from the depth of my heart! The media is biased, we are all aware the recent disruptions Were initiated by Zionist thugs…
Stay steadfast in your cause, do not allow the politicians stand in your way. They have no cause, The cheap and bought politicians only stand with the side that can fill their pockets with dollar bills - AIPAC and weapon manufacturers are their satanic gods.
That is horrific. So much for your Constitution, eh? My sympathies. Please vote wisely and choose good leaders. The US has been on the wrong side of world history too often of late when it has so much power, with that comes a lot of responsibility - I'd like to see them use that power for good and promote peace again, like they did in my country (Ireland). I hope the situation improves, and send my best wishes. I stayed in Colombia for a night when I was over on a J1 visa as a student. It seems like education is constantly under attack in the US, from under-funding, poor pay for teachers, and over-priced degrees. Bodes poorly for the future of such a powerful nation with so much great potential.
Also the situation in Gaza is awful and I completely understand why people would protest in US colleges if their fees are used to support such cruelty.
I condemn Hamas most certainly, but I *also* condemn the actions of the Israeli government under Netanyahu.
Thank you for standing up for what's right, for yor bravery & for sharing your experience to shine a light on the truth!
Stay strong, friend. Standing witness can be difficult. I know you have it in you. I thank you for your solidarity.
Hang in there, my young friend. And thank you for this on-the-ground report. I was in college in the early 70s and remember the protests of that era. Power mad government officials and cops beating kids bloody. It's easy to get disheartened, but you and your friends are already making an impact. Stay strong.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, this take on the protests is by far the most sane I've seen from any program on television. It's kind of disillusioning to see that news comedy programs are the only ones able to get news right in this day and age, but it only makes me happier than ever to be here watching this show.
Thank you Seth/Late Night, for making commentary on the protests as pertains to what the protests are about. All other media and late show content I have seen seems to have been treating the subject like it is radioactive, which is discouraging to see.
I just want to say how proud and grateful I am to Seth and his writers and producers and staff that they were willing to say so much more than some of their peers on the matter.
As a fan of him and his peers, AGREED!
Proud? For being a paid propagandist? 🦭's love to clap
@ca6360 It's not propaganda, it's satire. It's what normal people do to laugh at crazies aka MAGAts. And of course he's paid, he's on TV! Do you think your Fox & OAN crews aren't paid? 🙄🤡
Indeed, the deafening silence from Kimmel and Colbert is very telling.
@@SIXITHS Kimmel is too busy trying to out-beavis the other buttheads. Colbert can't decide if he wants this job or something more on Broadway or Good Morning America and Meyers gets way more pleasure from recalling writing the stuff that bombs than delivering anything funny. And they all sound the same, they share the same jokes more or less in their monologues and without the constant banter and horseplay on trump, which, btw, sounds more like the stuff middle school boys come up with not adult, well paid, professional comedians with a staff of writers supposedly writing for a late night audience. It is one thing to make mention of the clown once in a while but all three are wall to wall trump. It is boring and not funny. The pandering for applause is embarrassing to watch.
The bike lock reveal was amazing. Some of the best journalism. Having this cop rattle on about how students don’t bring ‘these’ to school, only for you to whip out exactly the same thing and unequivocally prove it’s a bike lock.
Yep. Someone said that those locks are recommended in the student handbook and sold in the campus bookstore too.
@@candacen7779 who paid for all the tents? u saying they all own thousand dollar tents?
minigiant8998 - what leads you to believe they are using $1000 tents?
Yep - I ended up buying the exact same lock for my son who went to UC Davis to try and resolve the problem of him continually getting his bike stolen. I had first tried buying him the roughest looking second hand junk bike thinking that this would solve the problem as no one in their right mind would want to steal such a bike, but then found the solution that actually solved the problem - a $300 bike lock and a $20 junk second hand bike. I was actually surprised that the thefts didn't see such an expensive lock and decide to steal that and leave the bike behind.
@@minigiant8998 Did you see the receipts for those tents?
I’m a Rhode Islander 8 minutes from Brown (at least before the Washington bridge debacle) and I was totally ignorant of the activity there.
The reporter Lindell said was attacking him in the parking lot was Adam Mockler, who is a small gen Z guy who tries to use a pretty gentle approach when he deals with MAGA. He tried to just get Lindell to agree to some common sense stuff. It was the opposite of aggressive journalism.
"The people who barricaded themselves in the hall were professionals, who knew what they were doing!"
You mean the kids who have probably all engaged in multiple active shooter drills in their high schools? Where they had to figure out how to barricade themselves into classrooms? You mean like that?
Exactly. And it's interesting how the cops think they get to be coached by someone on how to harm others, but no one else gets to be coached on how to protect themselves.
Good point!
Mike Lindell was talking about Adam Mockler “attacking” him in the parking lot. He has a great channel and he’s a super intelligent young man. He was simply debating Lindell and Lindell couldn’t keep up with that well spoken young man. I love that they used that clip!
I wish they would have highlighted him.
I hate it when journalists attack Mike Lindell by mentioning reality.
Adam is awesome!!!
Very articulate and respectful young man.
YHe's changed more than a few "maga minds" just debating the substance, AKA real facts, with these " maga people".
Go Adam go!!! 💙

He's a great new up and comer!

The way Seth and his writers can attack these serious issues head-on with intelligence and humor is just brilliant. On a day like today, it is much needed.
I believe Seth is more progressive than the other late night hosts. Bernie Sanders is a record holder appearing on this show.
They really find a great balance between sincerity and the ridiculous.
Not just Jewish students, Palestinian students should be safe on our college campuses too. Including safe from arrest, assault, and attempted murder
They weren’t being attacked for minding their own business. These false equivalencies are laughable.
@@BigLar56321 So you were there and saw it in person?
@@sundayoliver3147Your knowledge must be extremely limited if that’s the only way you think information can be obtained.

THANK YOU AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
Thanks to the pause button and zoom, the German tourist rats are absolutely hilarious! Great job graphics!
It's the absolutely 100% regular response of the media to make a protest story about the character and tactics of the protesters, and stay well away from the reason for the protest.
The only thing missing from Seth's reminder at the end is that criticizing the actions and policies of a government is not the same thing as being anti-Semitic. Using that argument is a tool to shut down any possibility of meaningful discussion.
Yes, this. And also, the assertion that Palestinian students ALSO have a right to feel safe on campus.
Truth
When even the most sensible of comedians has to play along with the lie that the protests are against Jews, it tells you a lot about the state of politics in the US.
Alas, the internationally-accepted definition of antisemitism outright includes accusing Israel of racism or racist policies, or accusing Israel of any policies similar to those of the Nazis. A lot of countries agreed with the Working Definition of Antisemitism on a governmental level too (eg: the UK)
(Source: International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance)
Nobody is criticizing the not-seas in control of Gaza.
Because sending the national guard to a campus _never_ goes wrong... 🤦🏻♀️
It's a shame people are forgetting history...
I think it was a deliberate threat referencing history. I was waiting for someone to start playing Ohio by Crosby stills and Nash in the background
@@user-zc2hk3cs6v No other comments yet on your perfect reference to CSNY singing about Tin Soldiers and Nixon Coming...I feel as if I am the only one reading this who is old enough to still have the vinyl of this album. And if I searched long enough in the garage, I might also be able to find an 8 track tape...🙂
Thank you Seth for bringing some sense to the College Campus protests and putting them in perspective with that wonderful fella Bernie Sanders comments.
Somewhere in the News in thge last few days I have seen a comment from some source of the US Government about critisising some action against protests elsewhere in the world. 'Glass Houses' and 'Stones' come to mind.
Finally. Seth talked about the protestors. Thank you for listening to my note. 😇
Seth, I also think it’s worthy to note the eerie timing of the campus protests right now when considering that the anniversary of the Kent State massacre is May 4th. Fifty four years ago this Saturday, four college students were killed and nine were wounded when the Ohio National Guard rushed in to quell protests over the Vietnam war. It’s hard not to see the parallel to what Eric Adam’s is escalating in New York.
"All of these things can and should be true at once." Thank you Seth
Why is it that a comedian has to help spread the "bucket of commen sense" that somehow seems to escape the "adults" in the room? Good job Seth (and team)!

@@tomjohn611 Came here to say this. This is one of the best episodes in recent memory. Now I'm extra looking forward to Corrections this week.
Seth cracking up about himself is one of the reasons he is my favorite late night host.
Most other shows edit out when the show veers off script or the show goes off the rails; Seth feels so much more genuine because leaving the bloopers in gives you a better sense of how much fun the show must have been to attend the taping in person. Either that or they didn't have enough takes to splice together to fill the time lol
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Seth for having the back of the students protesting, and thank you for being critical of the police's violent response. There's not a lot of this happening in broadcast television right now, where it should be.
it's stupid, because students aren't being arrested. Anyone who can show a student ID is left alone. The viral video of the girl being physically carried off is not someone who attends that school and had punched that cop immediately before the video was taken

I love Bernie Sanders like he's America's own grand grandpa. He's always right, bless him and his mittens.
So why did he vote against the aid package designed to support Ukraine against ruzzia? The same reason why he wanted to negotiate with Putin instead of helping Ukraine defend itself?
@@Bundyphile That's a blatant LIE!!! Bernie is absolutely NOT against Ukraine defending itself! Shame on you for twisting his vote and motives into something they are not! Bernie rightly and justly voted "No" on that ONE particular aid package because it also included an additional $14 BILLION more (on top of what we already give) to Israel to commit genocide in Gaza with. I don't mind my taxpayer money funding a country trying to defend itself, but I'll be God damned if I will help Biden help Bibi slaughter innocents in an unjust war - he has crossed the line!! Innocent Palestinian people are NOT Hamas!! The USA needs to STOP funding Netanyahu and arming him with war weapons altogether!! The GOP bitches about aiding other poor foreign countries before providing for our own, but it's "crickets" when it's about Israel, who has already received almost $200 BILLION for the last 76 years! The shitshow that is Congress needs an overhaul - it should be only 1 issue per bill - no more added pork! Easy peasy. Why complicate the hell out of it and make it all that much more difficult?
Bernie is a man of morals and integrity and he's more than proven that he is ALWAYS on the right side of history!
May you reap what you so foolishly sow with your disinformation, propaganda and lie spewing!
Bernie is so open minded that his brains have fallen out.
Students ARE a College's CLIENTS.
Like, imagine you're PAYING a corporation 60K year. A bunch of clients say "Hey, we don't like that you support the mass murder of children and war crimes, we don't want OUR MONEY going to that." Then they protest to be heard.
The corporation calls the cops and the cops attack the clients of a business?
This would happen with NO OTHER INDUSTRY.
Students aren't clients. They pay for less than 10% of the cost of their school typically... They have the right to protests because they are students not because they were clients
lol it happens literally all the time. Look up Columbia’s protests during apartheid.
People who shop at Wal Mart are their 'clients.' Wal Mart does business with companies from a certain country that some of it's clients don't like so they protest, to the point where the protesters are now occupying some of Wal Marts stores and preventing them from conducting business. Is Wal Mart not supposed to have them removed from their properties, that they are illegally occupying, so they can continue to do business there and serve their other clients who aren't protesting?
I don't care what rights you think you have or how important an issue is to YOU, your rights end when they begin to infringe on the rights of others. There is no free pass to do whatever you want just because you are 'protesting.' You still have to obey the law when conducting your protest and be respectful of the rights of your fellow citizens.
This episode is pure gold. Keep it up!
On point! Thank you, Seth for redirecting towards what this is all about.
"All of these things can and should be true." Well said, Seth!
It’s a bucket of common sense
such a simple and poignant argument! why do reporters not actually report like that? of course two and more things can be true at the same time. Hamas was wrong taking hostages, Bibi is wrong trying to kill the whole Gaza population in retaliation, the US must no longer support Bibi with endless weapons.
They said there were "agitators" on campuses in the 1960s too. This is a red herring.
IMHO Seth and the team have risen to the top of Late Night over the last few years. There's no other I assiduously watch, other than Jon Stewart since he stopped taking Apple money
it is a great joy to see that the young are at last protesting.
Meyers is a bucket of sunshine
He is an unfunny fool !!
If this whole country's government consisted of just Bernie Sander, it would be the best run, most compassionate and frankly most respected government ever
Exactly. We need more Bernie Sanders running in the government right now. One guy can only do so much.
100% agree, but since he doesnt seem to be interested in running for president - i willl take him as a friend/consultant to Biden
I cannot agree more!!!
Make that man president.
@@pesokpesokI think it's more a case of he doesn't want the entire party apparatus rallied against him, or to be smeared as an anti-Semite or that he'd be staging executions in Central Park more than he doesn't want to run...
Dud? DUD?!?? The rats-in-lederhosen graphic was top notch! Your graphics team should be commended! The little hats were an excellent touch. >chef's kiss<
Give credit where it's due!
Thanks for clearing this up.
I love the real fails in Seth’s show. He’s having fun. The writers are having fun. It’s fun to watch.
If history's shown us anything, calling police on protesting students at a university will always turn out well in the history books
That's what I keep saying. Literally every time in history there's been a mass student protest movement with this level of crackdown, we look back on the students as being in the right.
Every. Single. Time.
The anniversary of Kent State is this weekend.
And they actually used rubber bullets at a university! Either the police are complete morons or they should have signed up for a university class on American History first.
Reporters should ask police officers their knowledge of Kent State.
Let's not continue to overlook Jackson State.
Good thing students aren't getting arrested then
You still always brighten my day. Thanks Seth.
10:00 kudos to sound mix master for perfect fade from witch laughter to echoing bucket of common sense 😂
That pigeon 🐦 impression was 👌
Would you say it was... a coo?
Coup coup-ca-choo, Mrs. Robinson Pigeon.
Who would have thought Impression Camp covered birds?
Surely Bill Hicks should get some credit for this joke from over 30 years ago?
It needs to be included in Animal Flubs 😅
"element of surprise"
bro it's not an opposing armed force you don't need to catch them off guard
NYPD: Be honest, are you surprised? 👉👈
Students: well yeah, tbh. Why tf are you even here?
@@josiahcox7313NYPD: to pwohtect n' surve 🥺 I'm so sowwy bcuz ov youuu I now feaw for my life 🔫 *bang bang* pwohtect n' surve capital. now gimme paid vacay, mayor v_v
If they weren't armed... then how do you explain the bike locks!
Using military tactics against civilians exercising their constitutional rights🤦♀. Police only make things worse.
Thank you for the Lederhosen gag, much love from Cologne/ Germany🥳
Their best evidence of outside agitators are bike locks which you get at any bike shop or campus store, on a college campus where possibly every other student has one?
All of us who were born in the early 1960s remember the anti-Vietnam War protestors. This new round of protests shows how little weve learned in the past 50 + years. We've actually done a significant backslide.
The actual generation of protesters has nothing in common with the Vietnam-War protesters.
Yea, it's so many people that didn't learn anything and/or learned the wrong lessons from history.
Do you think they actually act out of anything but politics and greed? Of course they know people can get hurt and killed. They don’t care about that as much as they cater to the political machine. They all suck!
most of you seem to have erased oct 7th from your memory
@@paulrichards6894 Would you say that Israel has taken sufficient vengeance? Thousands of murdered civilians for every hostage.
“Outside agitators” justifying violence against innocents…wonder where they got that idea?
That has been Vladimir Putin's go-to default option for everything from democracy activists to anti-censorship activists to LGBTQ activists to, more recently, -antiwar- anti-Special-Military-Operation activists
Ya know.
You are (meaning Seth and the whole team) still the best!
really brave to give seth an animal sound, and two props for a single closer look
This is one of the best Closer Looks in its run. Seth and the writers absolutely crushed it
Our beloved and dearest Seth is having so much fun! He's someone who truly loves his job, and we love him all the more for it! ❤ You're the best, Seth.
Maybe he actually hates his job and despises us. But he's the best actor ever. 😂
@askani21 ummmm, did you even watch "Journey to the Center of the Earth?" Because I will respectfully disagree with you on the whole, "acting" statement...
Loved the pigeon joke. Perfect
For Mike Lindel, it wasn't an attack, it was a UA-camr called "Adam Mockler" who had an interview with him and it was intense, that's all.
The right to protest is fundamental. It might make people uncomfortable but if the cause is moral and just, it should be remembered as such.
Too bad 'moral and just' is subjective
Democratic values for the win.
As a late boomer I'd agree.
being pro hamas isnt moral in any sense of the word. period.
Having a noble cause does not grant the right to harm uninvolved individuals. Actions, even when intended for good, can tarnish the very cause they aim to uphold.
"Antisemitism is vile and must be rejected in all its forms...and the constitutional right to protest the actions of any government should be protected." Thank you, Seth and the writers, for being able to walk and chew gum at the same time.
the trouble about these people who condemn Israel and say it's not about antisemitism were silent when saudi arabia killed 10x more yemeni Muslims
The irony is that Israel has poured more fuel on the fires of anti-Semitism oif late than anybody else. As the saying in psychology goes, hurt people hurt people.
Too bad that's not what the president said.
It does feel weird that he has to say that. The claim that it's antisemitic to protest what's happening is in Gaza makes no sense to me. Yet for some reason I see claims of antisemitism wherever protests are discussed.
@@josiethompson5739 if you are not indeed anti semite then you will be able to point me to your outraged post you made when saudis killed millions of Muslims including children in the yemen..look forward to reading it
That bike chain is a jackal.
Maaaan, this is fun. This is brilliant. I love Seth and his dang writers!!❤❤
"He's the most courageous person I've ever met, by the way." 🤢🤮
Human self-delusion knows no bounds.
He obviously hasn't met many people >.
He spoke about God then instantly talked about trump like he's similar to God😡
the whiniest, i'd believe.
True story
CLEM FULLER IN 24
"Go to class and stop wasting your parents money." Mikey J, I can guarantee you that over 90% of the students at these colleges are paying for their own tuition because this isn't the 1960s anymore where college was affordable enough for your parents to pay for your tuition. Way to show how you think grown adult are irresponsible children and show that your parents paid for your college that you're obviously making good use of.
13 percent of Columbia students come from families in the top 1 percent. 62 percent from families in the top 20 percent.
As much as I agree the speakers words are condescending, most of the students he is addressing likely do have their very wealthy parents paying their tuition. And that’s fine. In fact we should all be glad to see kids who come from well off families trying to fight injustice
Also in general please avoid “guarantees” that you back up with arbitrary numbers. I can guarantee you that 90 percent of college students aren’t paying their own tuition.
90% of more expensive schools? Yea try 50% at most, lots of rich children with no common sense.
🤡 no it's mommy and daddy's money they're wasting by this bullshit get real
He is completely disconnected from the real world. His whole party is.
@@Rona44 Ah. So speaking up about people's rights to exist is bullshit? Got it.
*THANK YOU SETH & TEAM*👍
*THANK YOU STUDENTS - THE LEADERS OF TOMORROW - CARE ABOUT JUSTICE TODAY !* 👍
😂 Seth is a National Treasure. I listened to this via ear buds in a quiet public place and could not stop laughing. He points out absurdities in the best possible ways. And his willingness to laugh at himself and the impish way he does it is priceless. 😅
Thank you Seth & Co.
This show keeps me sane. 🙏🏼
This is why we need Seth Meyers and a Closer Look. He gives the facts, the depths and the bucket of common sense and spares us the (false) moral outrage
Except he refused to talk about it until now. After months of Genocide and a month of student protests.
@@dorouuable Wtf, no he hasn't... have you just not been watching?
and you got it
Only in America do common sense and fried chicken share the same disposable receptacle
But he didn't do his terrible Bane impersonation. What gives???
I am old enough to remember the last time the National Guard went on a college campus.
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio.
Same here.
"And Trump's comin'...." Scary thought.
And the sad thing is that Republicans are salivating for a repeat.
WKCR (columbias radio) did a great job of following the protests and are a great way to learn about what is really happening on campus
It’s worth a mention that your Alma mater, Northwestern, has also brokered a deal with the protesters.
In Montreal two students sued to get an injunction to have the camp dismantled, citing irreparable harm. The judge told them that the only irreparable harm would be to the right to peacefully assembly and protest against public policy
Its been really telling how many people just want the police to stomp over the first amendment
@@noahkarpinski1824not new or unusual
I cannot stand those who would gleefully deprive others of unalienable rights. "Rights for me but not for thee."
Canada’s level of civilization exceeds ours.
@@davidhaught-rn1wg Only sometimes. You guys can at least sue your Government if your rights are trampled upon, we don't really have much recourse as each Province can opt-out of our Bill of Rights/Constitution using a notwithstanding clause.
Thank you, Seth Myers for being the sensible, compassionate person you always are.
I really miss Seth's Rudy impression! I love it!!
the props episode. Also the sound department is in shambles after that chain sound destroying their ear holes.
The comedic timing of that chain was fantastic. Lol
It's amazing how much force is being used against Americans who dare to think people living in Gaza are actual human beings.
Why do I find myself cheering Mike Lindell to the stage along with the Trumpers? Always look forward to that impression.
Somewhere out there, Neil Young is on the edge of his seat watching the news, with a pad of paper with "Ohio 2" written across the top.
LOVE that a closer look has covered the protesters the right way. wish stephen colbert would have had a segment like this.
Colbert likes to poke fun at Trump, but he avoids rocking the boat too much.
Lately it seems Stephen Colbert and his writers are avoiding going deep on anything.
The DNC said no.
X is the scariest letter lol
Why did I read this to the tune of a Three Dog Night song? XD
Dr Brule might argue that letter of snake is scarier
Of all the late night hosts Seth does the best Bernie Sanders impression 💖
Right on, Mr. Meyers.
A 20-year-old kid journalist Adam mockler bless his heart man he did a great job
he's amazing! love his YT channel
I just found him about a month ago!
He's a good kid
Has he released that full video yet? I saw his preview this afternoon and seeing the full Lindell interview is definitely on my short list.
@@BoojumFed Not yet fingers crossed for tomorrow /may 3
I went to a May Day worker solidarity event at the Johns Hopkins encampment yesterday and it was amazing - very peaceful and a good amount of people from the community dropping off supplies and generally being supportive.
Were Jewish students allowed to walk the grounds and/ or enter the school libraries?
from what i have seen, a significant population of the protesters are Jewish. you would know this if you knew how to use google
@@JaimeMesChiens Only if they weren't *too* Jewish
@@JaimeMesChiensWhy wouldn't they be?
@@JaimeMesChiens I would say about a third of the protestors were Jewish.
Fantastic, one of ths funniest I have seen in a while. Makes our politics in the UK 🇬🇧 look positively pedestrian
So embarrassed that people from my state are applauding Mike Lindel😖
The reason I love this show is how much fun Seth, writers, and the crew seem to have. Love the reactions to mistakes and the jokes that don't land. I'm sure this is a lot of work and I appreciate it, but I ❤the feeling of connection that comes from seeing the camaraderie among those who work for the show as well as all the jackal inside jokes in the comments. This is a cozy place to come hang out.
I love this comment- yes!!
