So I have to disclose not only any gift above a certain value, but also any gift to a direct family member, however this guy, in one of the most powerful positions in the US, doesn't think that a half of a million trip every year, among other things, should be at least disclosed? It seems that he doesn't understand why all the hush hush about this type of pocket money. The discussion is not yet about whether it should be allowed, he doesn't even accept that it should be disclosed! Absolutely shameful.

I don't know if this is true in all states but in my county teachers have to report gifts in excess of $50. Now, this rarely occurs from an individual family, but if families take up a collection to buy a classroom teacher a gift and it exceeds this amount there are forms required. Principals in my county are not allowed to accept ANY gifts from teachers, parents, or students. I once had a parent offer to put window tint on our computer lab windows b/c the afternoon sun was brutal and the district admin got wind of it and said it wasn't allowed b/c it would put us in a position of favoring his children for years to come.

Steven has gotten so much better at dealing with long applauses. He used to look impatient and annoyed. Now he finds ways to fidget with his jacket or do a cute move or expression. It is so much better. It can't be easy being always in the spotlight, but we appreciate that he is making the effort to cope with a problem few of us can imagine.
I was wondering how long it would take Stephen to realize he didn't have his glasses on lol

With his childish alibi, Thomas
proves himself to be a straight up

Yes. Imagine such childish, immature nonsense coming from a SCOTUS judge. We are now being asked to condone political/judicial INSANITY on a daily basis.
@@christinequinn5355 Yep, ever since November of 2016.
ALWAYS great to start of my week with Colbert & the LSSC Crew!
😂😂😂 I love your 'up down up down' joke. You found the right place to put it.

So glad to hear the one guy has already be sent back. Boo-yah, Tennessee GOP!
04:30 “Wow, I can’t believe Clarence Thomas did something inappropriate,” said Anita Hill.
Clarence literally pulled Dave Chappelle's joke, "I'm sorry Officer, I was unaware I couldn't do that."
Ignorance of the law is no excuse - especially in a Supreme Court Justice - but is he a fool or a liar? I know which.
"I didn't know I couldn't do that."
@@PatrickPierceBateman cool
I BELIEVED ANITA HILL!
Everyone knows ignorance of the law isn’t a legal defence… unless you’re a Supreme Court Judge I guess.

So, Crow and Thomas were close personal friends during the citizens united case?
Of course…
Fantastic monologue yet again Colbert!
So I have to disclose not only any gift above a certain value, but also any gift to a direct family member, however this guy, in one of the most powerful positions in the US, doesn't think that a half of a million trip every year, among other things, should be at least disclosed? It seems that he doesn't understand why all the hush hush about this type of pocket money.
The discussion is not yet about whether it should be allowed, he doesn't even accept that it should be disclosed!
Absolutely shameful.
Representative Gloria Johnson was my rep when I lived in Knoxville, and she is a wonderful, intelligent, caring human being. Tennessee is better for having her in the state legislature.
Stephen. The American Hero. Save us!

The new GOP standard of "peaceful protest" and "disorderly behavior" truly puzzles anyone with a brain.
Indeed it does. I wonder do they even hear themselves?

On Fox, the commenters actually were calling this an "insurrection" and that it was "worse than 1/6." You can't make this stuff up.
I do hope that the kids who can vote in the Tennessee election will vote the GOP OUT. These guys are fighting for your safety
WHAT'S soooooo Infuriating 😫😩😩
HOW can a Blackman be that naïve??? Does he think they love him seriously 😳😳😳😳😒😒????

I actually misread the headline as “Clarence Thomas doesn’t report grifts”. Freudian or what? 😂
The only difference between a gift and a grift is the R.
@@Ketsuekisan Clever.
Always take your bribes from your close personal friends. That makes it legal. (I have this on authority from a SCOTUS justice.)
Thanks for the focus on TN. ❤
Colbert dropping the Contra code just made my night. 😂
Props to Stephen for correctly remembering the Konami Code!👍
If Marge Greene is looking for Jesus comparisons, this guy was removed and then reinstated and it all happened over Easter weekend.
Stephen is hilarious and the best late night host
Especially when the others are on break or Jimmy Fallon. That guys sucks. Scratch that Stephen is our savior and the goat
No, that's Greg Gutfeld (and he has the numbers to prove it) followed by Steven Crowder in the daytime.
Ha ha... are you his cousin or something?
@@bluetroop1 I'm not employed by Gutfeld or Crowder. Unlike Colbert who I'm pretty sure is employed by the Democrats.
SUCKS Liberal Hack
Is Stephen slipping? New York Post reported that due to the high cost of eggs people are resorting to a cheaper alternative this Easter - yep you guessed it. Is potato.
😅
Well since eggs have dropped in price by half in the last few weeks that makes no sense and isn't funny.
@@bryanspindle4455 Or you have absolutely no sense of humor. Either or.
@@Opinionsrnotfacts574 Or maybe you don't have a sense of humor.

Can't speak on a bullhorn? Are you kidding, it's called TENNESSEE HOLLER 😂😂
The Easter egg skit was sooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I didn't realize that the Tennessee representatives were protesting during a RECESS. They were backing the kids who were holding signs like "Am I next?" while everyone was on a break. How petty and disingenuous do you have to be to preach "decorum rules" during a break?
I know he doesn't fully understand the Konami code joke, but I'm glad it's in there and he got through it well haha
Pretty sure he does 😊
The amount of times I've seen it flubbed in the name of comedy, the fact that he _nailed it_ (Yes I'm aware it was written down, he still hit it perfectly, many don't) makes it plausible to me he's had experience with it :p
80's kids like me appreciate it. Although I never played the game it was mentioned
in that one video game movie which was pretty much just a ad for Super Mario Bros. 3.

Wow, one of these segments ended on a high note that wasn't a punchline. Genuinely impressed.
I'm sure all of Thomas's conversations with his billionaire "friend" were strictly weather related 🌧... sorry, I mean whether everything was comped. 💰
Kudos to Stephen for doing the monologue without glasses. He clearly isn’t short sighted

Man Rep. Jones got that preacher cadence down pat.
I don't know if this is true in all states but in my county teachers have to report gifts in excess of $50. Now, this rarely occurs from an individual family, but if families take up a collection to buy a classroom teacher a gift and it exceeds this amount there are forms required. Principals in my county are not allowed to accept ANY gifts from teachers, parents, or students. I once had a parent offer to put window tint on our computer lab windows b/c the afternoon sun was brutal and the district admin got wind of it and said it wasn't allowed b/c it would put us in a position of favoring his children for years to come.
But can probably assist a child to change genders without parental knowledge, beautiful.
