As a US Army veteran hearing these terrorists call themselves patriots makes me ill
I can totally understand that yeah. They have no clue what it means to actually fight for their country. I haven't served either but I do respect people like you for having done it.
As a non-American who loves your country and wants the best for it, thanks for your service and your truthfulness about today.
Thank you Seth. Europe is shocked. And you know it. Ekki from Germany
As a Canadian afghan vet I fell you. Radicalized domestic terrorists are the worst.
But ivanka called them patriots!! Sickening THEY think they are.
“Patriotism means support for your country. It does not mean support for the president”. -Teddy Roosevelt
THIS!!!!
The trump supporters take that the other way around tho. They’re terrorists at this point. Not patriots
It's sad to see the factionism that has grown within the Republican party, there is Trumplicans (fanatics) and Republicans.
But if you're a fascist patriotism is viewed as support for the fascist leader.

How did the American electorate NOT see this coming??
@@annm3631 And worse: still denies it. The real problem is Obama in a tan suit, according to these people. I mean morons.
The way Trump has reacted reminds me of a Game of Thrones quote:
"He would see this country burn if he be King of its Ashes"
as if his ego isn't big enough already.
This incident reminds me of animal house “Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”

Great quote. Was that about the Mad King?
Seth almost broke down talking about how fragile and precious our democracy is. I was tearing up too. Well said, Seth...you’re awesome.
Over a year later, I still feel this was the absolute best, hands down, late night monolog that summed up the Jan 6th events. Thank you for for speaking out and saying what we all felt that day Seth.
Agreed. And to those who say Seth Meyers should stick to telling jokes or stick to comedy, understand what happened on 1/6 nor the Trump presidency was not funny. They were both horrifying and should never happen again.
This Colbert's and Kimmel's where great.
Amy, I think we should mark January 6 as a remembrance day on the calendar like we have for Pearl Harbor.
Charles Manson was convicted of murder but never killed anyone, no he incited others to kill. Think about that
Yup. Exactly. It wont be a case will he be charged. It will what will he be charged with!!!!

That is a good analogy.

@@billygoatgates3670 Get trumped
Seth, this speech gave me chills. Thank you for explaining the severity of what happened at the capitol and for sharing perhaps the best way to handle the situation.
Seth Meyers showed intelligence and strength today where most broadcast media stepped away from the hard truths. S Meyers rose to the top of broadcast journalism. Thank you Seth Meyers for saying what we crave in responsible, intelligent journalism.

"American will never be destroyed from outside , If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."Abe Lincoln
Thank you. I wasn’t aware of this Lincoln quote.
It’s not a real Lincoln quote 😂 more of paraphrasing
www.snopes.com/fact-check/lincoln-destroyed-from-outside/
“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.” --George Washington's Farewell Address

I am so proud of all the late night hosts for their sane, calm, rational explanations of Jan. 6th events. Kudos to Seth, Steven, Jimmy K., Jimmy F., and John Oliver
I just think it’s annoying. I don’t wanna hear my comedians talk about politics unless there’s a punchline somewhere there. It’s just disingenuous and it’s virtue signaling and it’s insufferable. It’s pretty much the same thing as the vegan who needs to say they are vegan every 10 minutes

Thank you for the kind words. Please know most of us are against this chaos, and if we need to take democracy into our own hands to ensure it doesn't falter we will prevail and make an example of those who tried to destroy our country!
I honestly prefer this serious tone. This is a serious time.
Me too, the scripting is a bit overkill and annoying most times, there should be less "like" jokes and more of his personal opinions on the subject, he's naturally funny.
And the burning and looting of cities all year was what, just "Peaceful Protests?"
Gimme a break, buncha hypocrites.
Never have seen the serious side of this guy. Very, very impressive.
@@maddierosemusic It's obvious hypocrisy. If violence is so wrong, why the hell weren't they upset when a few months ago Black Lives Matter and Antifa set things on fire, lootet and hurt other people?
They really don't care about people being violent or undemocratic, they only care about the group. If it's a left-wing group that hurts and kills innocent people, they call it "mostly peaceful". There was *much more* violence during the Black Lives Matter "protest".
@@hamidkarim4811 Looting and violence from any group is clearly wrong and unacceptable. However storming the Capital in order try to overturn a legitimate election is American terrorism.

"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in" -Trump
The fact he's told that story many times before a crowd.....is beyond bizarre.
It's SO on the nose. Does he realize the double meaning....? Does the audience he tells it to?
Seems not. But man....that story he tells is incredibly disturbing given the context of who he is as a human being. He's literally warning people of his psychopathy in the telling of that story. But neither he, nor his intended audience, gets that message.
It's weird....
its horor when even the comedians cant tell jokes
when the king is a fool the fool is king
Um hm m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3973835632660603&id=100001026151518
there is a time and place for jokes, now is not the time.
I wanted to make a joke about the "trial by combat" line because imagining Trump trying to fight would be hysterical but I the fact he wants it to come to that is just terrifying.
I'm old enough to remember Jon Stewart's first Daily Show after 9/11...surreal, heartbreaking, burned on my brain forever😢
THANK YOU, Seth, for being the one voice to flatly state that the politicians who incited this riot need to be removed from office immediately and permanently.
same goes for the democrats who incited violence after george floyds death. Street goes both ways dude, if you want to say you're unbiased, you actually have to be unbiased.
Yes
@@jaredkilleen7009 the difference is that trump incited the violence against democracy and the peaceful transition of power of our American government. Yes it's bad that some democrats incited violence after George Floyds death, but that is absolutely not the same as what trump did here. He's stirred up lies and misinformation, brought those people to DC, had his rally just minutes before this vote was to take place, then told them to march against the capitol, to never give up, that they had their election and their country stolen from them, and to fight. He directly and deliberately causes the armed and violent insurrection tonight, and his only way of apology was filled with lies and then he told those terrorists that they were loved and very special.
Absolutely unacceptable.
@@jaredkilleen7009 Looting a Target and breaching the US Capitol building are not remotely the same
@@jaredkilleen7009 go to Parler. Stay on Parler to plot and commiserate with your comrades. There actually is a difference in standing up for equality and human rights v the traitorous garbage that went down at the nations capitol in the name of a privileged few. You will be safe on Parler.
Revisiting this tonight after the Jan. 6 committee’s first public hearing and it’s astounding, although not surprising, that this is still among the most coherent, clear-eyed statement made about the horrific events of that day.
This statement by Seth Meyers should be preserved for the rest of history and be presented as a historical document throughout the rest of the existence of the United States. This is the greatest summation that I have witnessed after the insurrection. It should be memorialized and taught as a history lesson forever. No one could have said it better. Thanks Seth.
"They should carry this shame" except they aren't ashamed, they wanted this, they love this & that is the problem.
And this is exactly why they're nauseating, spineless insurrectionists.
And every Dem who still says this "we cannot look back" bs is part of the problem too.
Well they can be proud of themselves from a cell because DC plans to convict everyone that broke into the capital.
As they obviously should.
We can hoist the shame upon them.
You don't have to feel shame presonally to be destroyed by it
Shame has weight and can be crushing
Look at how trump nearly burst into tears when he was booed at the baseball game.
It can be done
In order to have shame one must have a conscience...........they do don't!!!! Also, as you said , this is what they have been wanting for a long time!!
At this point, Mexico is considering paying for the wall
You should have way more likes!
And Canada want a wall too
they saw that stuff go down and they're like, "you know what?? on second thoughts, suuuure. we'll pay to keep you people out."
LMBAO‼️
@@melaniecombes1665 Pacific ocean wants a wall too, but has no money , Will pay in seashells and pearls though.
I really especially hope Rudy is immediately prosecuted and his “trial by combat” comment is used against him to disbar him and he gets kicked in his ass right into prison.
Except, that when we hear pebbles in the river. This time means nothing will be done to these Pimps that’s what they are.
I will work another job to help those in need. If Trump, and his skeleton crew go down.
Yeah, once there he can adjust his trousers while reaching for the soap!
I'm sure that Trump would try to pardon him.
{ONLY-&-only to the OP and "upvoters": }That 9/11 hero???
@@stormichow5325 Hindsight is fun, isn't it?
Trump hasn't, and won't, pardon him.
Because Rudy is a liability for him now.
And Trump has ZERO loyalty to those who are loyal to him. He'd kill his own family if it earned him a buck.
Thank you, Seth. True two years ago and today, April 25, 2023. They, all the representatives and senators who voted to nullify the election, will wear that shame and should never be allowed to serve in any office in our democracy again
After flipping around all the news outlets tonight, THIS was the most coherent, measured, and astute commentary. Thank you.
Agreed.
Stephen Colbert did an excellent speech about it as well. I recommend it.
EVERYONE Responsible must be held accountable starting with Trump. Five years of this bullshit is enough. No more
thats quite a list though. Almost the entire Republican party, Fox, Alex Jones, the NRA, assorted pulpit weasels, this is gonna take some time.

Oh, I though you were looking for an end to that sentence.
Mr. Meyers, thank you for taking the time out from your regular program to help us focus on what happened and what the priorities are to keep our nation and its pursuits of perfection on a proper course. Your late night competitors also had strong words, but looked for ways to bring irony and laughs to it. I'm very grateful that you pushed pause and spoke clearly. Please stay healthy and may 2021 be a better year for everyone.
Watching again today, after 3 years... Didn't aged at all.
He must be held accountable (for once)
Teddy Roosevelt said :
“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”
TIME TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING TO SHOW THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE USA
Yes! _Thank you_ for using the entire quote instead of the "shortened down to fit a fortune cookie" version.
Honestly, _that_ is what US citizens need to repeat every morning in school, not that creepy oath of allegiance which nobody under 16 years has any business to take.

"There must be consequences." 100% correct, because Trump is going to keep stoking this unrest after he leaves the White House.
he going to keep doing it when hes out of there too.
Trumps not leaving the WH! YOU WILL BE LEAVING MY COUNTRY!
How else is he supposed to pay his crippling debts, guy? He's got to keep the grift alive! I mean--he can't trade on our foreign policy anymore, doing the bidding of hostile foreign powers (to whom he still owes A LOT of money.)
@@tystyx615 Trump said he's leaving the White House and Biden will be inaugurated on the 20th, my dude. Look it up. He conceded when he lost the support of Republican Senators yesterday. It's over. And it looks like he will be removed from office much sooner than the 20th. I suggest you find a way to cope.
@@tystyx615 Oh, I see you joined UA-cam 5 days ago, lol. What I meant to say was "beep boop, comrade." 🇷🇺🤖
Thank you, Seth and Late Night crew! I completely agree. I appreciate how you tell it like it is and bring the real story to your viewers. Thank you!
Wow, an on-the-spot opinion piece that is as spot-on two years later as it was that night. Perfectly written and delivered, Team Seth!
„Conspiracy theories as a substitute for leadership and governance.“ Well said!
It means so much that Seth addressed this head on and without jokes. Very well spoken.
Beautifully spoken.
First time for me to watch Seth Meyers' show. He's brilliant...an excellent orator.
This was well said and exactly right.
“Shocked but not surprised”
Literally the only thing that needs to be said about this ridiculousness...
I've been expecting some sort of violence from the far-right for weeks now. I just didn't think it would actually be an act of sedition or an attempted coup. I just figured it would be a protest somewhere that got violent. This is...fucking insane. And they probably think they did nothing wrong, that they were just doing their patriotic duty.
@@sfreemanoh Same here. I was expecting a T***p rally or march to turn violent at some point. I was expecting either a shootout with the police or a riot. But I didn't ever expect a terrorist attack on congress and government buildings. I never thought I'd be so disappointed in America.
Coming from trump I'm not surprised it was gonna happen he's not stable
When is Civil War legal?
When do tyrants allow for an up rising?
When has revolution ever been peaceful?
Then why are you speaking?
As an European I can only say that I saw this coming 4 years ago. I wish the US strength to stand against the authoritarian tendencies within your country.
The Republican Party is controlled by Fascists..this is the issue.
@@zaurakdigis I don't know enough off the internal politics of the US to say that. I am worried though about the path the US is on.
@@arthurvdv8690 we will be fine, Trump running again would be a dream come true for Democrats. January 6 will be Trumps legacy.
Not American either, but when he was elected in 2016 I was afraid he might even declare martial law to stay in power. I'm honestly surprised he didn't take the riots in DC as an opportunity to do that. He was never, ever going to go quietly, it was evident from the beginning. I just hope this is the worst we see, and that whatever good people remain in the Republican party can keep him under control until the transfer of power is safely complete. The best thing Biden can do for America is dismantle and prosecute Faux News, and ensure such a broad spreader of disinformation cannot happen again. The truth will set you free. I think that's the first time that phrase has made sense to me.
@@zaurakdigis I hope so. We need eachother more than we tend to realise at times.
We share alot off common values which we should cherrish.
Seth Meyers should run for office. He is honest, articulate, and can easily reach individuals that struggle to understand what is truly happening to our democracy.
Hrm, let's have a think about what happened the last time a tv showman was elected as president...
@@NobleKale Run for office, not necessarily immediately presidency. Seth Meyers pivoting into a politically active career using a solid infrastructure of organizing and managing a research team while interacting with the mainstream while staying relatively independent is a pretty good recipe for an active, influential politician. Trump was neither a solid organizer, a successful semi-independent studio operator, an articulate person, or any particularly culturally conscious or sensitive person.
We need to stop pretending that just being a media personality inherently damns you from political action just because Trump was a media personality before being the worst president in history. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ronald Reagan were both actors, both of them becoming governors, and leading politically innocuous lives following that. Reagan's presidency was then cemented in that practice, and while I dislike much about him and his administration, he was certainly a more competent and functional president.
Media personalities often have important political connections, causes they value, and a wide audience already available. I don't think we should be dismissing them out of hand. What made Trump bad was that he was overtly a racist bigot and has been known as such since he first had any public presence. Seth Meyers, by comparison, is innocuous, friendly, untouched by scandals, politically sensitive, and has potential for meaningful impact.
Thank you, Seth, powerful speech, much needed and appreciated.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that can't sleep tonight.
It's 9:30 am here.

I j watched cspan for like 4 hours. It’s not good

If its not because of his conscience then at least for the consequences, I hope he faces for this
“Patriotism means support for your country. It does not mean support for the president”. -Teddy Roosevelt
Important update. seeing the current state of affairs in US and the world, I seriously think we need Donald trump back in the presidency.
Never have-never will!
You are so right! Trump wants people to be loyal to him , not our country! He gets rid of people, if you don't agree with him! Have you ever see a presidency, in our past- where the president got rid of people in his cabinet on a regular basis, because they tried to give him good advise/ or disagreed with him- he has an agenda, that is to be our KING/ EMPEROR!!!
Debate and questioning authority when there's room for debate and questioning IS the highest form of patriotism here in these United States. When all evidence is against you, when the only debate is the itinerary forward and not which path we should chose, does dissent become dangerous. These people are and were traitors, and I can say that having traitors in my ancestry, I'm from the South.... -_-
@@patrickbuckley344 very true
@Matt H but you support the last 4 years? huh? you are blind by your faith and failed by your ignorance....
This is chilling and devastating (as those treasonous fearmongers doubtless wanted it to be). But they can't move the hands of time backward to where their hearts and minds are. We stand up. And we keep marching forward.
May God bless you Seth, and may GOD BLESS AMERICA; I spent 7 GREAT years there, and the last 4 years have broken my heart, especially the events of this week.
"They replaced the American flag with a Trump flag". That should piss any real Patriot off.
Especially after he made a fuzz about Colin Kaepernick taking a knee..Double Standards for the Rich...Abraham Lincoln would have been stoned to death!
They are also replacing the American flag with a confederate flag. Disgusting.
Yeah, these last four years, they have gone from silent morons to loud fascists, pretty quickly.
Also carried a confederate flag

It’s a sad, sad time when late night comedians act more presidential than the actual president

HAHA true.😭
I was waiting for his upload because they live there and they saw that it breaks my heart for everybody
Let's also keep in mind that the Republicans had every chance they could to legitimately remove him from office, probably even have him tried for criminal behavior and jailed. Their complacency says something with the loudness of a megaphone: He's from my party and will always have a pass. I can pull up better representatives of both the Republican and Democratic parties from history and Donald Trump is far from a great representation of the Republican Party; he's undoubtedly the worst representation of what can happen. Nursing conspiracy theories like old wounds, filtering them into his cabinet, convincing them that he's the best of the best even if he's the start or prolonging of a crisis; this is felonious, cultish behavior.
well honey you aint seen nothing yet when the freakish fraudulant biden harris show begins
25th Amendment NOW.
Absolutely. What more could it possibly take!?
I wonder how fast an impeachment can get through the House and Senate now.
Seems too little, and way way too late.
I reckon they should take four days max to arrange all that.
Let's hear it now:
FOUR MORE DAYS ! FOUR MORE DAYS !
Ive Peters if he gets impeached and convicted he can’t run again tho, but ur not rly wrong abt too little too late
Thank you Seth, so clear,
Seth is so intelligent and very articulate. It's refreshing. He speaks the truth.
No matter how many times this president sinks to a new low, he finds a way to sink even lower. God only knows what insane things he may try to do in the coming days.

What a great hateful run of a start from the trumpsters head first in the wall smashing every last braincells they had left under that maga cap
@@azharkhan5249 i think they've broken through to Negative Braincell territory tbh
People who assume things can't get worse let the worse become reality.
@@R1ckr011 i could never imagine that the US congress would be attacked by its own citizen. We were ignorant thinking that the bad stuff would end in 2020. It was clearly just a warm up
Thank you, Seth. Truth is powerful.
When Seth and Stephen Colbert get serious, it’s bad. I look to them to brighten things up. But January 6th could not be brightened. It was a horrible day.
"we can be shocked but never surprised" - so true Seth, so true.
Seth is ignorant and hypocritical and not worth a minute more of my time.
@@johnatwell2753 Good, then get lost bud, no one wants you here anyway. You can’t handle the truth. ! !
Teddy Cruz and Josh Hawley need to be prosecuted for seditious conspiracy. "If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this section, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction."
It's pretty mind boggling that after he was forced to flee for his safety by the very people he was inciting that he didn't think "huh. Maybe I'm the bad guy and should stop this before a Lotta people get hurt." nope he walked right back into that chamber not 5 fucking hours later and proceeded to uphold his unconstitutional objection.
How do these evil, corrupt liars get to stay in the senate? They should also be struck off if they are lawyers.
Yes absolutely
There it is in black and white. Why is it that our elected officials know so little about the Constitution? Maybe before running for office they should have to take a test on that one subject.
@@auntiejen5376 And a standard psychological screening. That'd be nice.
“flying Confederate flags” and Nazi flags. That part’s important
Pulling down the Stars & Stripes to put up a tRump flag? That’s just sad! And VERY telling!
Yeah, weird to see a democrat confederate flag ( the confederates were Democrats) Not part of Lincoln’s Republican Party! I guess it’s not just Trump supporters there!
@@cbdoil4082 fine sir, I understand that you don’t understand history. In the 60’s LBJ(a Democrat) signed the civil rights bill. In the 70s Nixon started what was called the southern strategy. It was a plan to get the Dixiecrats(racist southern democrats) to join the Republican Party. look it up. Then you will understand how Ill informed you are, how wrong you are, and you may, stop being an ignorant right wing troll.
important to who?
@@davidvaknin3801 Just, important in general
Now halfway through 2023, I'm watching this to remind me of the horror of this day and marvel at how long it has taken for the creator of this nightmare to be faced with consequences and it's not even for this atrocity
I gotta admit I'm getting REAL TIRED of being a part of history lately. 😢
Yes, indeed
This.
at least the crazys are showing themselves time to get rid of em
Awwww poor baby... 🙄 When a country has growing pains everyone has to cry about it. Granted, we've gone back 60 years so there's plenty more history in the making.
Whomp whomp. Cya boo boo . Y’all quitters.
They replaced the American flag with a Trump flag? I think that about sums up all of this pretty nicely.
That's what all fascists do eventually... The Nazi Party flag went on to be Germany's official flag from 1933 to 1945
Yup. That will be the defining image in the history books.
@toro azteca Yup
I believe that would class as treason and the opposite of patriotism. They would rather idolize one man than support their entire country and countrymen. Disgusting
Only in the usa something like trump is even possible
EXCELLENT monologue.
Thank you.
Exactly. Thank you, Seth, for speaking out.
There’s this quote „we should fight for democracy while it still exists, it gets a lot harder afterwards“
Missleading statement... the mob was fighting for democracy in their eyes
@@Tokamak91 this is how Democracy always ends... A critical point of idiots being manipulated for personal power.
@@Tokamak91 But... But they weren´t in reality xDxD
Nobody has explained this situation as well as Seth Meyers just did.
Trump must be held accountable for what is happening and he must be prosecuted.
💯 Agreed!!
People seem to forget that he was meant to be impeached in 2019
J'ai écouté Jimmy Fillon, Jimmy kimmel et Colbert; ils ont tous été formidables , comme Meyers! J'espère que l'Amerique les écoute aussi! Que la démocratie tienne bon!
@@SgtSnowballs no, it's okay. Susan Collins said he learned his lesson and he wouldn't do any more shenanigans. big ol' rolleyes emoji
.........there is more than meets the eye, take the eye off the tv and look at what is real in this world. Look at what other countries had to go through in their history.......dont look at what is being portayed as what we are going through. Not saying you cant have your own take on what you think is happening. Just pull away from other's take on what they think or whay their opinions are.
Excellent writers and a compassionate host = best summary and hope for the future actions. This is what we need right now.
Thank you. Most succinct summation I have yet heard.
Seth Meyers needs to post a transcript of his wonderful speech tonight.
Trump said in summer to BLM protests, “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
Trump said yesterday to insurrectionists, “you’re special, I love you, I understand you.”
@Brodie Lawrence Nope.
@@daltonmeredith6790 did you not see the people breaking through the windows of the Capitol, to steal the respect for the United States on the world stage????
What will it take for you to see? A live video of trump groping his daughter before you'll understand what he is????
@@daltonmeredith6790 What they did may not qualify as looting but their actions do meet the definition of seditious acts.
@@daltonmeredith6790 Thanks for that response. I was looking for an example of selective blindness--where people can see "evil" in those with whom they do not identify (BLM in your case) , but do NOT see it in those with whom they DO identify (terrorist fascists in your case).
@@daltonmeredith6790 a trumpie stole a podium to sell on eBay so.
bravo..well said and thank you for saying it.god bless
Thank you for your thoughtful message
.
...the picture that 'burned' into my brain was that MAGA guy waving the confederate flag on the Senate floor ...whaoh! What a sad day in the history of our country!
These people don’t realize that the confederate flag, and the maga merch is the antithesis of what america is. And by then trying to replace the flags they are saying they want something unpatriotic. Sadly trump has tied americaness to support for him, so they see it as interchangeable. 🤢
A national disgrace if there ever was one.
Yes, and that MAGA guy is probably a registered Republican - you know, the party of Lincoln, as they like to say. So a member of the party of Lincoln waved a Confederate flag in the US Congress. Irony is dead.
@@evam8389 Lol, touche'. I hate to laugh right now but the abysmal stupidity/irony is just unreal. I've been making this same argument and I either don't get through or I get no response, which I hope is the effect of having said something that actually had an effect...
First time ever in history that flag was waved in that building.
Charge them with sedition. That's 20 years hard federal time - not club fed.
Remove Trump from office immediately. He is dangerously unhinged and still has access to the nuclear codes! And the strongest response those power brokers in this most powerful nation in the world can muster is temporarily blocking his Twitter account?!?!
Well said dear Seth. Bless you and be safe.
God bless you Seth. Peace Homey.....
I hope people are going to be charged for treason because that’s exactly what this was.
Yeah and blm and antifa doing this all year is not sedition? oh how you lived hard love to pick and choose and ignore facts. Utter hypocrisy
@@lonewolf3564 Are you, like, 25 different people, posting the same bullshit post on every comment?
Just remind us of one single time a BLM protest stormed the Capitol building of the USA. And one single time they marched with guns, shooting other protesters. And also, to be clear, while the BLM protests were huge and wide ranging, there were in fact very few places burned and looted, let alone “cities burned to the ground”, and it has been proven by law enforcement that most of the looting was completely opportunistic and was by people not associated with the BLM marchers, and in at least one occasion was found to be looting by MAGAs. Show us one single city burned to the ground - outside of Afghanistan or Iraq that is.
We’ll wait.
@@lonewolf3564 And how is Black Lives Matter and Antifascism sedition?
Don’t count on it.😡
@@kathyjones1078 and how is what happened yesterday sedition? How is it not hypocritical that BLM and antifa were allowed to do this? Stop dodging the point to suit your narrative.
Thank you for saying this.
*Oh, and a huge thank you to Georgia! Ya'll saved our country... No joke!* 💙🇺🇸💙
Watching in NZ. I'm lost for words. I'm sorry, this is painful to watch
Thanks. It’s painful to have happen here, especially if you have family who supports Trump...
america has become a disgrace. definitely not world leader material anymore.
@@thune4944 Unfortunately my family does. My Trump-supporting grandmother described the insurrection as a "break-in at the Capitol".
Thanks for the kind words, NZ.
2020 - "Many consider me to be the worst year ever"
2021 - "Hold my beer..."
Let me introduce you to my cousin ... 2021, call it ... MAYHEM ...
Well, the only hope we have is that 2020 shittiness only really started in earnest in March. Maybe it's following the lunar calendar? If so, maybe the year will improve in February.
It's certainly not starting off well...
2020 WHO!!!!
Good news is the bar for expectations is really really low to start!
Well said, the best I have listened too since this whole trauma began.
It was only “locker room treason” so it’s not a big deal.
Fezzik! You did something right!
@@carolinesix7304 Don’t worry. I won’t let it go to my head.
@@fezzik7619 anybody want a peanut?
@@avxsnd9365 I’m on the brute squad....You ARE the brute squad!
It's sad when talk show hosts are the voice of reason.
I think we are very lucky they are here to do this. They all have huge audiences, much larger than some straight-up political shows. Some of them, like Seth with the one politician (sorry I don’t remember his name) and Jimmy Fallon, with Walter Kronkite have these guests who might serve as a jumping off point for more research. And Colbert is an absolute must watch from January 6.
Not Sad...Staged👀👀👀
