- Instead of calling for racial healing and encouraging Americans to remain calm, President Trump's solution is to "dominate" the protestors and send the military to control the streets. #Colbert #StephenAtHome #Monologue

That woman in the park is disgusting - she knew exactly what she was doing
I'd be very concerned if she did not. Actually that would really scare me if people such people lived anywhere. People that don't even realize what they are. People that have distanced themselves so much from another group of people that they get scared when one of these other people just talk them.
If it soothes your anger, she has been slaughtered by karma: fired from her job, dog reclaimed by animal shelter, national notoriety as a racist animal-abuser, and forever infamous; likely unable to get a job ever again due to her history. There are other things too, investigations for falsifying a police call, and talk of banning her from Central Park for life. Could be more but that's just what I've read so far.
BlikenavE Couldn’t happen to a nicer person as far as I am concerned. Karma’s a bitch, apparently.
@@BlikeNave hearing this makes me happy.
Amy Cooper, even I happen to know her name.
As an observer from Canada, all I can say is I think the Mexican Government will probably finish the Wall now......
We aren't worried, Americans would need to leave their guns behind. Not gonna happen! They would feel naked.
Actually they steal it and barricade their own homes, you really can't make this stuff up.
With good reason
@marcus milla I guess we're probably fine. Between the mosquitoes and black flies in the summer and the -40 in the winter no sane person would actually want to move here...😉😁
No joke. The Canadian government publicly announced today that regardless of the virus, there are no plans to reopen the international border with the USA for many months because of all numerous serious problems and threats currently on the American side of the border, which clearly includes the Trump gov.

“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.” - Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson was one of the largest slave owners in Virginia, was unrepentant, did not free his slaves in his will as did many, and took certain liberties with his female slaves that would really be frowned on today.
@@theatrain1323 And if he were alive today we'd be beating the shit out of him while mocking him with his own quotes. There's nothing wrong with poignant quotes even if they came from someone doing what we now see is objectively bad.
Depends on what people interpret as injustice.
There is one interesting thing when it comes to Germany and racism. Of course, mr. Colbert is right, that we do have racism over here, no intelligent person from Germany would ever doubt that. But it got better and today it is no comparison to the structural racism that lies deep within the America nation from it´s beginning. But I think, the problem lies deeper than that. We, as germans, started two world wars, we planed and executed the shoa. And all that guild will be with us evermore. But there is one thing that we did after that, one thing, that the United States had never done: We admitted, that we we were wrong. All together, not "the Nazis", because, we were the nazis. No-one else but us and almost all of us. I am not. a fan of Germany, and as many germans there is only one political thing, that we are proud of, and that is to talk, act and think antifascist. Because we know, we've done wrong. It's been the biggest lecture for this country to admit that. And it has been a long, hurtful way. So, if Mr. Colbert says, getting called out for racism in Germany is like a Jamaican telling you to put down the bong, he is right. But you can be sure that you would be surrounded by ten germans asking you why. Because many of us learned, that it is a giant leap as a nation to admit, that we were wrong and to ask for forgiveness. But it is the first step for healing.
Very well said, Sir. The first step for progress is acknowledgement, acknowledging that there is something wrong and something can be improved upon. And you put this not only into beautiful words but also in action by the entire nation. Have a good day.
Germans of today are wonderful and kind people. You are a great society. We know you are not your ancestors. You can be proud.
Bravo.
Dont dwell on that for too long. Its in the past, and it's great that you're still learning from past mistakes. But nowadays we consider our neighbour Germany as friends. Even my grandparents who experienced the war dont have a problem with normal Germans. I dont associate Germans with nazi's. I associate nazi's with nazi's. Fuck those guys. I love the Germans :)
That comment in the end of WII gets to the heart of the matter. At the end of the US Civil War, it merely turned out that the North was against the succession part, they were pretty OK with the racism.
When a late night comedian gives a more comforting and inspirational speech than the freaking president...
Which is pretty much always.
@T.L. Does Colbert display empathy?
Captain Mark nobody has to make Trump look bad...he does that all on his own whenever he opens his mouth. Trump rot in hell 2020
Trump couldn't give a "comforting and inspirational" speech if his life depended on it. Every time he opens his mouth, he sees an opportunity to attack someone/someplace.
@@sadiestoltzfus9798 Do you display stupidity?
1:04 Seriously?! Germany have changed a lot since the 40’s you know!
Dear Mister Colbert.,
I was not born here. But as a kid of an US Solider, mixed of race, growing up in Germany, let me ensure you that your comment about Germany is wrong. They do have a horrible past!!! But nowadays noone is marching along tanks on their way to work anymore. They don't raise their right arms to say good morning or to hail anyone. Do we have racists over here? Of course , sadly like any where else. But Germany is not all about that anymore for decades!!! And even if they won't agree with the politicians at least they don't "vote" a criminal racist into the leading job.
I am looking up to you, I love your show and that you are using your voice to wake up America (hopefully).
I just wanted to make clear that Germany is so much more than Nazis now. And remember, I am black (mixed). Berlin, Hamburg, Fulda, Munich, Kassel, Stuttgart everywhere peacefully protesters last weekend, by the 10.000.
If you ever want to come to Berlin or Hamburg, I would be more than happy to show you what's Germany like today!!!
Thanks
Calm down it's a joke lol we know Germany has changed
@@laurendilaurentis6467 No need to calm down...I am fine.....I was just saying....
Germany has learned from the past unlike America apparently
az0bis9 and it’s not even their country , stolen from the indigenous and mexicans
That's a bold claim to make when the AfD went from 4,7% to 12,6% in 4 years. I would not say that it's a systematic thing like in America, but I am still concerned for you guys.
But Trump is not America.The American public is. I'd say most of us have learned, but I might just be naively optimistic.
@@Swissmister93 Right-winged parties have risen in many European countries unfortunately, however, the AfD has no executive power and is about to dismantle itself due to internal quarrels

Oh, Stephen. Germany has come a long way! They are practically an icon of decent behavior compared to the 1940s.
A few things there:
A: That's a low bar if I ever saw one
B: We are fighting against hard right movements in our politics to this day. It never really stopped. Just in the last 3 years a new hard right party emerged running on Nazi rhetoric (sometimes verbatim) and was elected to many of our states' parliaments, and even our federal government
C: Even some "normal" conservatives are at least flirting with the idea of working with that right wing in the future.
Luckily our parliamentary elections are direct, so the pushback from the public is felt stronger by the parties on the receiving end and our liberal-left Green Party is gaining traction to counteract that motion, but it's still a struggle.

Hi. As a German a strongman hiding in a bunker kind of reminds me of something.
Same guy, different year.
If only it ended the same way...
Trump is not strong, nor is he much of a man.
@Sandy Allen So said Donald J. Trump, but his father was born in Bronx, New York.
I wish this had the same outcome.
In Germany, it takes about 2 - 3 years to be a police officer. In the US, it takes about 19 weeks. Just saying...
and they are paid more than most Americans. 100k//yr they average
@@Not_Always no
I have had to deal with cops here in Germany a couple times and each time, they were very professional. Now, I'm a white guy and a native of the Twin Cities. I'm sure if that was my fake $20, I would have been told by the cop, "you can't use this... now on your way." Do they even know if that was his $20? Even if it was, that would be a non-violent crime not justifying a knee to the throat.
This.
@@quietcorner293 Also, if you got handed back a fake $20 in change or cash back somewhere would you even realize it before you tried spending it somewhere else? I sure as hell wouldn't.
Stephen, I´m a guy from Germany and I just wanted to point out something VERY important:
Are you aware that demonstrations in Berlin were not meant to accuse the USA of being more racist than Germany, but rather showing our support for the demonstrations and demonstrators in the US?
Yes, we believed this to be the case.
Can we take a moment to appreciate that the man, whose base calls liberals "snowflakes," took refuge in a literal safe space?
Freaking out over someone misgendering you is hardly the same thing as being afraid of an angry mob.
So he should have jumped in to a circle of people burning down buildings and looting businesses ?
Reminds me of someone in a bunker in Berlin a while back
Ok snowflake
@@goreil2489 Yeah, but that guy had a gun with him and did the right thing to himself. I doubt Trump will find the same use for a gun.
A whole grown man calling for his dead mother in his last day on earth on live television in America is not a joke. Americans must walk the talk. The world is watching.
His teargassing peaceful protesters in order to get a photo of himself holding up a Bible has to be one of the craziest things he has done..top 10 at least
@Terncote I learned a long time ago that he will always find a way to go lower.
and courting😓
Oh - just wait for next week and you get a completely new top 10... Like every week before.
I dont know man. The "top 10 crazy dump things Trump ever did" usually changes after every 24 hours.
And he's done and said a lot of crazy stupid things.
That comment about Germany was very out of place. Are you indicating 21st Germany is in any way comparable to Nazi Germany or what?
I live in the Netherlands so Germany is our neighbor. I always enjoy Stephen”s monologues but the remark about Germany is not a very smart one in my opinion. All of our countries have our histories and fair share of (institutional) racism. I sometimes wish the US would stop thinking and acting as if you guys are the center of the earth. You do have a serious problem within your police force and justice system. But you also have beauty like the Black Lives Matter movement and police chefs who want change. Humor and satire are very important and the ability to laugh at our own expense but to imply that Germany is a racist country, is like implying that your potus is an intelligent and compassionate man..
Thank you so much for your comment. Greatly appreciated. I'm German, and I've left several comments below this video ...
You forgot the Native Americans in Oklahoma city joined the protests. They had drums and chanted in their language
Oklahoma has a very dark history when it comes to Racism. If that state knew it’s history every man woman and child should be marching against racial oppression!
Now that IS gutsy, given how hard Native American communities are being hit by this virus & the risks that protesting presents with that!
Definitely worthy of attention!
Donald Trump for got about the Navaho 1st nations with the highest case of coronavirus percentage in all of America , it took a law suit for the Navaho to get their annual funding from the federal government which is part of their treaty, I would hope 1st nations in the USA and Canada wou,d rise and ride into Washington DC and join the protest

Brothers and sisters, we need to all vote in November
Amen and bring your family.
Better yet vote by mail as a family event then have a nice dinner 😁
For Trump? 😂
@@georgeqiso You Bet !!!!!!!!
If you can. While some of us are wondering if Trump is getting a head start on burning the country down in spite when he loses, others are expecting that he's trying to make it bad enough so he can declare martial law and postpone/cancel the election.
People have caught on video guys in black uniforms leaving pallets of bricks and spray paint on the protest route. Originally it was believed they were cops, but they might be mercenaries working for Betsy DeVos's brother, Erik Prince of Blackwater infamy. Prince has been contracted to do "security" -- aka spying on, infiltrating and trying to start trouble in liberal groups -- by the Trump administration.
Every German I have ever met, has always expressed shame over their past racial injustices.
Americans? Never.
Thank you! I'm German, and I truly appreciate your comment!
@@nula14 My pleasure! I also thank you, as a German. It's so important for both parties that the horror of such past events are AT LEAST recognised. That way, the victims have their feelings also validated. And generation after generation, I have always seen Germans express regret, even from actions that weren't even theirs anymore, for example with the younger generations. With Americans, all I have seen was a giant cover-up. I can only wonder what is being thought in American History class.
If you (readers of this comment) are white and you still don't see how people of colour feel in America, I also highly recommend watching the Netflix-documentary "13th". There are numerous other examples of documentaries on systemic racism (and that's what makes it so disturbing), but that one really stuck by me.
Amy Cooper is the only one threatening her dog. Legit choking him.
Agreed!!!

Hey, Late Show writers, when you have people in Berlin peacefully protest in support of your citizens of colours, maybe don’t make a cheap “Germany is racist” gag. At this point, you really don’t have a leg to stand on.
That was my bro and his buddies who formed the barrier around the cop here in Louisville. Ill have to tell him his heroic actions made it all the way to The Late Show
Chad Robinson you can tell him his actions have been seen around the world (I'm in New Zealand) and that he and his buddies displayed courage and compassion. Well done.
Thank god for your brother! Sending warm wishes from Iowa. Stay strong.

@gary grine Trumptards are here. woop woop
Colbert knows exactly what he is doing and his speech was so predictable that a 12 year old could have written it. A bigger man might have used this opportunity to start healing the rift in the country. Make no mistake, when Trump leaves his supporters will only grow angrier that their values and beliefs are not represented by the national media. Instead they are ridiculed.
Dude is stuck in 1933 with this sentence.Germany has improve al lot the last 75 years. Racism is lower over here then in the Usa.We learned from the mistakes of our ancestors and we know that there can be a Reform and a rebuilding.So you Americans can Reform your Country too
Vvvvv true
i thought that was his point really. Germany had a bad time to be sure, but Germans got past it, Germans learned, Germans improved, Germans became substantively and demonstrably more decent.
Swathes of America has failed to do so, and over a much much longer period.
It's actually a point of admiration the world has for Germany. They were at the epicenter of a catastrophic piece of human history, but not only did Germany manage to gradually move past it, it managed to heal itself AND used it as a means to grow. We always pay attention to the awful shit the regime did back then, but we often overlook just how many of their own countrymen were tormented, trodden upon and executed.
It's for that reason that I look at the patterns shown in current events, and the words of the Tronald Dump, and just get a cold shiver. If not for the sheer number of people who can still see the bullshit for what it is, I dread to think what kind of changes he would enforce, or what kind of foreign action he might be tempted to try.
”Preexisting condition” is the perfect description of this, and we are tired of it!
Something can be done and needs to be done about this systemic racism!
this is sooo true.
@Major Thought Ahead If more 'thought ahead' they would have voted for Hillary in 2016 and seen if Bernie or Liz or anyone had managed to build a coalition rather than a half-bot mostly-destructive cult by 2020. We only needed to hold the line and follow through on the Obama stuff last time, but we could not afford to lose. Now we lose... Everything we couldn't afford to for three and a half years running. We're set back decades. And still just trying to control the damage. And Bernie still has no way to get any promise done.
And don't get me wrong. I'm very progressive, but neither this nor 2016 were my first rodeo, as they say around here. We couldn't afford to lose the last Presidential against the Republicans in any way. But we did. We're still paying the cost. As is our future. And as is our planet. We can't take more damage to our nation or world and expect somehow a viable civilization will come from the ashes, never mind one we progressives would like. You need to know how systems work, and where they don't.... fix them, don't inflame and further break them. Sometimes it's too much easier to scream 'Revolution' than to really actually educate people, really care for people, really actually embrace those different from you instead of taking the easy route and trying to incite and or use them... But breaking things is easy. For some, it's fun. But fixing them or building them, ....that takes skill and *care* and *work.* And that's not so simple.
Or abstract. Capiche? Some things need to be dismantled, but you need to know how it works and how to replace or improve them before you go blowing them up. Civilization is at stake. There just aren't enough allowed to participate in it lately. And that goes for those raised in bigoted ignorance even if they seem to be feeling their power now. THey don't know how to govern or do things either, despite the image they claim.
I’m not seeing what is happening in Birmingham being covered nationally. I know it’s a busy news-cycle these days but it is a story worth covering. In Birmingham, Alabama large groups of all races marched and and met in Linn Park. It was peaceful. Then they decided to take down the confederate monuments in the park. One went down but the other was just too large and strong. A little history: Birmingham didn’t exist until long after the civil war was over. The city has tried to remove the monument as the vast majority of residents want. But the state passed a law making it illegal. So the city put a wall around it. The state sued and the city won in court. The state appealed to the Alabama Supreme Court and won. It was sure to be escalated to the US Supreme Court. But last night the mayor came out and promised that if they would stop trying to take it down, he would have it down in 24 hours. Some agreed - some were angry. But as crowds moved through the streets away from the park a lot of damage was done by a very few. The mayor made a strong and angry announcement that included a curfew until further notice. So tonight was to be possibly very eventful. But so far all that’s really happened is that a crane was at the park and the monument is dismantled. And a go-fund-me was set up to pay the fine that will be levied on the city by the state. And in no time they far exceeded the amount needed. Scores of volunteers showed up down town today and started working to repair the damage done to businesses last night. And now the city that is in love with itself and each other has a reason to be proud.
Amazing, I love it!
That's impressive!
I just went through Northampton MA today and witnessed huge crowds of demonstrators for for George Floyd and BLM. They were peaceful and proud and consisted of about 80% white people. Made me proud to be an American for the first time in 3 and a half years.
There have been murders of Black Men & Women that haven't made a blip on the news. Because they weren't caught on camera. Even the ones that were, were only covered by Independent media. So a peaceful protest is not "news" to msm.
Why should Birmingham, U.K./Britain be covered¿¿¿ Cover what's happening in that 💩hole Mobile, Alabama🙊🙉🙈
I know it's a joke but Germany being called racist is a huge miss fire.
@A guy you can trust A joke is most the time taking a hit of a behavior you have recognized, you exaggerate it. Hmm, again, where is the joke? Are you serious or are you a troll?
@A guy you can trust Depends, what is more dangerous than a pitbull with AIDS? The guy who did this. I think this joke is funny.
Germany is not surprising Stephen because out of all the develop countries besides Canada they have the most African and Black Refugees! They have laws put in place to protect them which I can't understand why we don't in the U.S.!
I didn't understand that reference either, seemed a little stereotypical and outdated.We want to be better than that.
"Remember when we were all afraid of our groceries?... I miss those days" ouch too real.
Yeah, we really couldn't think of much being worse that that.....
We can't expect Trump to be a leader now when he was never one to begin with. To quote a Trump tweet: "it's almost like the United States has no president."
We'd be better off without one.
People used themselves to protect that single policeman, oh my God, I can’t stop crying now. Thursday morning in Beijing.
Yes. That whole segment squeezed my heart
If it was true it would be hart wrenching, but it’s probably just a good picture
What's happening in Hong Kong is also bad
So... I never comment, but I’m upset that Stephen said racism in the US must be bad if even Germans criticise it... As if he is trying to downplay the American problem by relativising it. It is BAD because this form of violence against black and brown people is currently unparalleled, at least in the Western world, while still being tolerated and defended by some of the members of the white majority. The rest of the world sees this very clearly and is disgusted by the cruel deaths of innocent African Americans, and they expect the United States to do much better. Definitely, racism exists everywhere, but you don’t have to fear for your life because of the colour of your skin everywhere like in the US.
Thank you! I'm German, and I fully agree. I've posted several times below this video ...
Stephen: "Thank you, you're nice."
His wife: "I am."
I love those moments.
Yes.
Hello Evie!
+krudmonger ~ What I appreciate more than anything is his consistent willingness to go beyond the expected. "Thank you" would have been perfectly polite and sufficient, adding the "you're nice," made it mean so much more. Also when Benny got loose a while back, his main thing was "I appreciate you" (to I think his daughter) acknowledging her help, rather than berating for messing up. Coming from an abusive home, seeing genuine proactive niceness is awesome.
@@spammyhell6566 Leading by example.
The way she said "I am", Jesus

The scene of protesters forming a shield to protect the policeman was intensely powerful.
But Police won't return the favor, more killing of black people will continue unless more people are outraged with the actions of the Police.Its always us,the people's job to submit ourselves like slaves in order to be commended,or seen with respect,but the police...all they have to do is pass a short test with very little training, a silent racist code and they're Applauded.
That's a cheap shot against Germany regarding racism Stephen. You're better than that.
I know I shouldn't be offended, because it was a joke, but germany is one of the least racist countries in the world. I hate that I as a modern german citizen still have to hear these prejudice from decades ago.
that pissed me off as well. just made a comment about that. Questioning moral integrity on the basis of nationality is racism itself.
I'm German, and I'm offended. I've left quite a few comments below this video. It is your RIGHT to be offended when, 75 years post WW2 , people like you and I have to tolerate Nazi jokes. I don't, and this is my last time watching Colbert (whose show I love!).
@@nula14 I'm German as well and I'll stop watching Colbert because I really can't stand this American exceptionalism stuff about moral leadership. I hate this kind of nationalism and don't want to waste my time with people that are mentally trapped in a mythified past.
Even US Democrats in the senate thought it was a great idea to send a freaking fascist raging Islamophobe like Grenell to Berlin where he tried to destabilize the German government and empower the far-right AfD. The US media didn't even report on it. The US is so self-absorbed & narcissistic, they don't care about their US Ambassador to Germany preferring neo-Nazis over the conservative chancellor. I will always remember that, though.
Even the the former president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany criticized that Grenell uses the same language as extremists and called that cycle of mutual encouragement a danger to Germany's liberal democracy. Meanwhile the US press writes puff pieces about Grenell's engagement for Israel.
I think I spider. :)
@@Asphodelflower Thank you for your reply :-) Couldn't have said it better, couldn't agree more!
You know you are terrible when people emerge from the 1840’s and join the protests...
They are known for sticking to themselves and are not known for taking a public stance on national matters. The fact that they have says a lot!
🤣
They're not ordinary people from the 1840s, you know.
They separated themselves from the general society because of its depraved, immoral habits. They didn't approve of how our ancestors (that's yours and mine, no theirs) were exploiting slave labor, murdering Native Americans, committing domestic violence and numbing their consciences with gigantic quantities of whiskey.
Every thirty years or so, they stick their heads out:
1870: "Okay, they've abolished slavery, but they're still drinking whiskey like it was water, beating their wives like drums and murdering Indians."
1900: "Still drinking whiskey, maybe not as much. Taking a lot of opium. Still beating their wives. Only quit killing Indians because they ran out of them. And for the love of God, don't eat this stuff they call 'canned meat' . . . ."
1930: "They definitely beat their wives less, but now they make them work in offices. They made whiskey illegal, but they're drinking more of it than ever, and they have something worse than whiskey and opium put together. It's...hard to explain...they have this thing called a hypodermic...it sort of...well, it gives a vein in your arm an enema."
1960: "Those flying machines that make those long skinny clouds we've been seeing overhead? They use them to fly to the other side of the world so they can find more Indians to kill."
1990: "One of the worst governments that ever existed has collapsed. That's promising. Let's put a pin in the map and check back in thirty years, see how Russia is getting along."
2020: "Oh, for cryin' out sake, enough is enough! We've got to get out there and have a word with these dimcandles!"

As a German I completely agree Germany is not free of racism. But making it the subject of a stupid Nazi Germany joke in context is pretty low-brow, even for the Colbert joke authors.
Please consider for the future how much you want to root around in the past for joke subjects. It might bite you on the rear harder than you like. Please consider that Germany's current constitution contains human dignity as its first, inviolable article. While the US constituion contains some basic human rights that have to be defined by being a US citizen. As such these rights do not apply to ALL humans, just to US citizens. Isn't that something to think about?
Thank you. I’m glad to see I wasn’t the only one who was taken aback by that unnecessary comment.
That joke is hilariously ignorant. If I (born in Munich, a former temporary New York resident, Berliner since 1990) didn't now better, I'd say: See? The ignorant American again. We know the type!
But I do know better. There are plenty of curious, substantially interested, cultivated Americans. Still, I am sincerely p****d at those never-ending Germany-equals-Nazis and/or look-how-harsh-and-always-screaming-that-German-language-is jokes. As RustyDust101 said, that's gonna bite sooner or later your a**, folks. That's when a critical mass of those who understand the stupidity degree of those remarks is reached; remarks by people that have just watched way too many Hollywood Nazi movies and read way to little history books. I look forward to the moment when the audience has changed and goes WTF? on a large scale degree.
I also hope I'll one day witness debates on topics like the comparison of constitutions (and the way they are lived by respective societys), as RustyDust101 proposed. Maybe one day there is even a considerable amount of Americans that knows that Germany had its first democratic revolution in 1848 (failed, alas) - at a time when the US genocide against Native Americans was in full swing, while the US's economic growth was still based of the exploitation of slaves, in full swing that one too. The second German democratic revolution then, 1919, duration: five days altogether; successful. And the third one, 1989, in East Germany. VERY successful that one. Those events are very much part of our history and our culture. They might explain much of the obvious stability of the post-1945 German democracy, couldn't they?
Maybe one day enough people will come to know and understand why contemporary Germany, compared to other larger European nations - like France, Italy, the UK, Poland - constantly has the lowest nationalist/populist election results within the last decades. And also, why historic Germany had 12 years of fascism while Italy (21 years) and Spain (39 years) started much earlier, and had it much longer.
Until then, I laugh at you, the ignorants. Excuse me, I can't help it.
Precisely. Germany is one of the most tolerant and intellectually advanced societies and cultures in Europe, let alone the world. The joke is getting tiresome, especially now as it is detracting from the insurmountably disgusting exhibition of racial violence they have in the USA.
@@luwer8880 I am not German, but i found this joke offensive, i can only imagine, how it feels to listen to these stupid jokes for German people! He is talking about equality but somehow manages to insult the whole nation instead!
I’m beyond disgusted at that woman in the park. I’m surprised at my ere!
I feel the same way. Her lies could have gotten him killed. Because we all know they would have shot him.
Another thing that really bothers me is, she took her dog back to the shelter! After 3 years of having her dog. That is very traumatizing to an animal. The dog was innocent.
I knew someone who did the same thing after having a dog he rescued from a shelter. Because he promised his former dog he wouldn't get another. It would have been better not to get a dog in the first place.
Even her dog got out of control because of her hysterical acting!!! she's disgusting and she deserves every consequence she got.

There are protests in Switzerland too. The police announced that they wouldn't step in eventhough its technically against the law because of the current situation. But they decided not to step in because" that wouldn't be appropriate"
Wow, we need guys like that here.
Yes, I worked and studied in Switzerland and spent a lot of time in Geneva when I lived with my parents who are still in France. I figured they are protesting too.
Yes, civilization must be nice.
We have neanderthals with guns and billy clubs.
The UK still is on lockdown, but still they let thousands protest in solidarity with the US
The show of solidarity does mean something. Especially when their own 'leader' is against them. Pass along our appreciation for all who are standing up for basic human rights..

"In times like these we need empathetic and moral leadership.... Unfortunately we have Donald Trump"
Most accurate sentence ever.
He had 8 minutes to think about whether he should kill him or not. Premeditated murder is 1st degree murder.
I work in kind of the same area as this cop and I do understand the going-through-the-motions-feeling. But............ there has to be a system, either morally or legally added which stops you.
Yeah, if you are not a cop, it only takes the time to reach into your pocket, to be considered premeditated. Cops have months, I think......
wish I could have been there to stop it.
No. He had five minutes to decide whether to kill him. He kept kneeling on his neck for three and a half minutes after Mr Floyd was dead. The wrong way of taking a knee.
I never thought of it that way but you're exactly right!!
That was amazing. One of the best monologues yet. I had lost faith in this whole country until you brought up the positive stories of protestors protecting police and blocking rioters. Thank you, Stephen. And your crew. This brought tears to my eyes that were happy ones.
Bullshit. The whole monologue was about Trump. If after all this time anyone still expects that Trump will give speech to "soothe the nation", they are either a dumbfuck or (more likely) just after high ratings pretending to care about minorities. Colbert is so out of touch he didn't even feel the need to ask the opinion of his lead musician who has a much better idea about how it's like to be a black man in America. The racist joke on Germany was downright offensive, whoever wrote that doesn't deserve the job. This is what separates these "hosts" from Conan. Conan knows his place and what is appropriate for him to say and so he did not spend more than two minutes talking about it or express his feelings and instead asked someone who knew.

Sad thing is , the secret service clear street for president using tear gas so he could give his fake speech , fox news failed to mention it during their interview with the rector

Very bad joke at 01:02. Questioning the moral integrity of german anti-racism protesters solely on the basis of them being german, is racism itself. Same applies for the cliche about jamaicans and their alleged preference for bongs.
I expected a more nuanced point of view from Mr. Colbert, who - despite intellectually sharp humor - seldomly misses a chance to claim the moral high ground.

I really appreciate your humor and i`m a big fan of your show... yes, also from germany. But in this episode you grabbed the german feelings by the p... Yes, there was a time, 75 Years ago, when the fascist Nazi-regime ended. It starteted in 1933 and lastet untill 1945. We are always judged by this 12 Years. We`ve learned a lot out of history. In our "Grundgesetz" (Constitution) the first and most important article says "Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar" (Human dignity is inviolable.) All our laws are build upon this. We payed our price and are still paying. We are working to improve, become better people and help all the rest. We see this as our duty!!! We got, as probably every country in the world (exept the Vatican), some Rightwing, Nationalist, Neonazi-Scumbags. These are only a few and are not representative for the germans. Your Country has a much bigger problem... Since centuries - and you are NOT dealing and confronting yourself with this. There is so much hipocracy in the US... unbeliveable. But much more important is the way your president goes. Look at how Adolf Hitler came to power and faught the press. AH had his own propaganda.. so does Donald J. Trump. Be cautious and as we say in german "Wehret den Anfängen" (Fight it in the beginnings). But this is much too late..... God bless the United States

Brilliantly said Mr. Colbert. We’re all holding our breath and rooting for you up here in Canada. Stay strong, stay safe, be courageous and compassionate and you will get through this.
It completely eludes me how you can on the one hand fight racism and on the other casually paint Germany as the most racist country on the planet as if we were still living 1933-45. I get that it is supposed to be somehow ironic and sarcastic, but how exactly is labeling a country which in most ways is more democratic and liberal than the USA as essentially the Third Reich not totally insensitive, deeply offensive and also racist to the nth degree? I see these German stereotypes thrown casually on Late Night TV shows at the audience from hosts like Stephen Colbert or Trevor Noah who probably think they are enlightened and it strikes me as deeply ironic that they don't realize how terribly insulting this is. Could you insult anyone in a worse way than that?
Also from a comedic standpoint - such cliche gags about nations are the dullest and least imaginative ones.
Thank you! Couldn't agree more. I'm German, and I've left several comments below this video. It heartens me to see so many critical comments regarding the "even Germany" joke. Racism in an anti-racist video - not a good look! And yes, it is deeply offensive and terribly insulting, and it bothers me that well-educated hosts like Stephen Colbert or Trevor Noah continue to perpetuate this very racist stereotype. Colbert's message was: "If even the bad guys think we're bad, then we must be really bad! We're supposed to be the good guys, remember?" This is some next-level moral superiority BS.

I am a HUGE Colbert fan and the wit behind all your politically charged jokes. I am an American living over 20 years in a big city in Germany. As part of the minority community of America, I was deeply hurt, offended and enraged over what happened to George Floyd.I have experienced more racism in my homeland than I have ever experienced here! Racism definitely exists here but most Germans, due to their history and their overwhelming reminder in school of it, live in a constant state of humility almost to a fault und are sometimes even too tolerant. I did NOT appreciate how you portrayed Germany at the beginning of this segment. It makes it look like an otherwise racist nation now protesting against racism. Many Americans are globally ignorant and truly don't know nor understand what is happening beyond its borders. Because I appreciate your intellect and your ability to depict the frailties in American society through humor, I felt the need to make you aware that feeding into yet another common American misconception of the world is beneath you. I hope you understand. - still a very big fan! :)
Here was my take: He used a historical reference of a bad time, then juxtaposed it with images of Germans protesting against racism. He was showing the potential for progress. (If he was trying to insult germany he would not have shown flattering images). I think it was "too smart" but hit a nerve. He is a deeper level thinker than that.
true i get what you mean although it was probably just a joke he had to fit in im sure he don’t mean that. germans are now very sensitive on the subject of racism because of their past. they’re probably the least racist country nowadays
Thanks from a German and happy to have you here :) ... I enjoy US comedy and this was a re-occuring joke. But honestly, I think it is funny, since I know it is meant playful and not dead serious.

I'm a dog trainer and yes, her voice aggravated an obviously kind dog. He didnt know what was happening and was scared. This is the behavior that will make a kind dog bite. I hope she is barred from ever adopting an animal again. I'm just glad she is identified... her life will be in ruins now.

Officer Ard claims to have spotted Steen at an empty construction site around 1:50 AM and attempted to stop him for questioning. According to Ard, Steen fled the area. Ard pursued Steen in his police cruiser going the wrong way on a four lane highway (causing danger to others) and attempted to fire a Taser weapon from the window of the moving cruiser.[1] The chase ended when Steen was struck by the cruiser and dragged until the cruiser came to a stop at a median in an empty parking lot at the corner of Cervantes and R Streets. Steen was pronounced dead at the scene.

What democratic president would call protesters "thugs"? It's preposterous!
@formerib Jfc. The looters are condemned and cannot be considered protesters. Why don't you talk about the crowds that are peacefully protesting...just walking, holding signs and chanting ? Why don't you question the fact that the police isn't doing jackshit to stop the looters but instead attacking peaceful protesters ? The police are using pepper spray, tear gas, rubber bullets to try and stop people from protesting. In a normal democratic country, that's considered inhumane. Why don't the damn police do their job and focus on the looters instead? The 1st ammendment states the fact that in America , people can exercise the right to peacefully protest anything they find unlawful (PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NOTE THE PEACEFUL). Instead, we see people getting tear-gassed, women protesters getting groped by cops, people getting shoved down to the ground just for raising their voice a bit, people getting serious head injuries because of rubber bullets , and so much more violence ..it's insane to think America is the "land of the free". Absolute bs when the people who are supposed to be rightly enforcing the law on us have turned murderers and can't do their job right.
