Yes, in Australia, we do have universal healthcare. The poorest of the poor can walk into an emergency room and be treated for absolutely no charge. For some procedures there is a waiting list but, eventually, even non life threatening procedures (such as hip replacements) will be done for free. Yes, we pay taxes for that benefit, but that's what you do if you preference a society over an economy.
I'll give Australia that, but the problem with Australia is that the government is corrupt in other ways, there a bunch of criminal Trump clones there who are wiping out Australia's environment including the Great Barrier Reef for their thieving corrupt greed.
I totally agree. Our government's blinkered attitude to climate change, its appalling actions in regards to asylum seekers and the internment camp like facilities of, for example, Manus Island is disgusting. We have bigotry and greed just as America does. I'm ashamed of that.
@Julie W. There are some things I could say, things i would do, blah blah blah... but I'm not too sure it's legal for me to even say it. But you get the idea... Trump is a brain dead fool who is secretly changing legislations in a way that will make life easier for him when he steps down in 2020. Him and his fellow republicans are vile and greedy... even Australia's politicians aren't that bad... they just lie, but still do things that benefit everyone... the republicans are in it for themselves entirely, not partially
You pay more taxes, we pay taxes and huge fees to insurance companies, deductibles, copays, etc. Then pretend to wonder why health care costs are rising.
I know I'll die of all the deadly nature in Australia, and I'll hate the infamously slow internet speeds, but, like... Can I please be let in? I can code. I can write. I can be taught. Please let me in.
Stephen i had watched your show (and The Colbert Report) for years even tho i'm not from U.S.A.! I support and love you so much, keep doing what you do!!
old _death save us from the monster the south has released into the capital please send help he has small hands and looks like a month old orange if he asks you to build a wall or asks you if you are Muslim just put on the red hat you can find them.anywhere in the southern states. you are our only hope
old _death - me too!! We don't get this show in the UK, so I go online. Very clever and funny chap! Sharp as a tack on the utter travesty that is Trump.
Colbert is fighting hard for the people. He does it with wit and humor. As a human on this rock, thank you for exposing this orange clown to the masses.
I swear to god he's smoking something. Has he never read anything about the Middle East?! I'm not saying peace is impossible, I believe that if there are leaders willing to sit down with each other and put lots of time and effort in, there can be significant changes made. But in no way would it be "not that hard".
When will this moron in Chief end, middle East is not a big deal. Once he causes war, he'll come and say "no body knew the middle East was so complicated". Where in the hell have we heard that before. People have got to stop this person before he stupidly starts WW3.
Not only that, Andrew Jackson would have prevented it! Haha! I know some people think Teddy Roosevelt might have averted World War I if he won the election in 1912, but Andrew Jackson solving the issue of slavery? Yeah, the guy who wagered his slaves on horse races was going to bring about racial equality!
Actually the Civil War was more about Northern aggression against the Southern States. Lincoln (if we were to apply the dictum that "War is the failure of diplomacy") was a failure. A President that caused the death of 600,000 people- citizens and countless adventurer/mercenaries from Canada, Europe and Ireland, etc. did end slavery but that wasn't his motive for the war-it was an adjunct.
Lincoln and the north didn't want slavery to apply to the new States recently stolen from Mexico but was OK with a gradual weaning away from slavery from the South. Most slaveholders were wealthy and Lincoln didn't really want to open up that "can of worms" . Let's read what he said: There is a natural disgust in the minds of nearly all white people to the idea of indiscriminate amalgamation of the white and black races ... A separation of the races is the only perfect preventive of amalgamation, but as an immediate separation is impossible, the next best thing is to keep them apart where they are not already together. If white and black people never get together in Kansas, they will never mix blood in Kansas ...
'I have no purpose directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so'.
Stephen I'm here laughing and then the joke of the wall made me cry with laughter, I haven't laughed this much sense yesterday when I saw your show, Thank You again!!
You are onto something! There should be an amendment that forces all senators and representatives to use whatever healthcare law is in place instead of the current plan.
Tyiff Pejic this is the 4th notification I've seen from you hating on the US. If you hate it that much then don't watch our programs such as The Late Show.
Tyiff Pejic - and that is exactly the deeply entrenched social conditioning that Trump panders to. Sickening how he manipulates the poorly educated into shooting themselves in the foot by voting for and supporting him.
Of course americans hate universal healthcare. Doctors don't become millionaires and insurance companies don't make huge profit. It's a nightmare for them. The idea of not taking sick people for every dollar they have is just ludicrous to americans.
Alex S works for me. the fckin idiot in the WH thinks Frederick Douglass is alive, A Jackson disapproved of the civil war & has no idea why said war happened so Aussie prez is plenty close enuf
Yup lol...I always notice that. Pence plays it off good, but you can tell. It reminds me of when someone talks to my 2 year old son...behind my smile I'm thinking "oh dear lord, please, please don't say or do anything embarrassing!"
pschroeter1 **That Christ sacrificed his individual self to save the collective is the defining essence of collectivism, source of liberalism** There is no such thing as a "conservative Christian" when Christ and the Bible are liberal/collectivist constructs... fft...
Nobody knew healthcare was so complicated and Middle East peace so easy but the MAJORITY of Americans knew Trump was an ignorant phony fool, BELIEVE ME!
Alf, c'mon. Doing some quick research shows that many countries with universal healthcare have just as quick care access as the US, and obviously if it's a medial emergency you're not waiting for care. Don't be silly. And even if what you incorrectly assumed WAS true, I'd still rather wait 4 months for basic health care than be left in debt or dead because of expense or lack of access in the US.
I'm Canadian. Time to wait for an emergency - seconds to hours, depending on the nature of the emergency. Time to see a GP for minor problems - an hour to maybe a day. Time to wait for an annual physical - maybe a few weeks to a month. Time for a non-critical MRI - 6 months free or 2 days ($500 to $2500) private. Time for (elective pain controlling) back surgery - 8 months free, or 1 month private ($10,000 cost). We have single-payer for basic care and add-on insurance for prescriptions, dental, optical. It's not perfect but it is pretty decent care, especially if you have a good GP.
+dale116dot7 - So people who can't afford to pay extra for health care still get it eventually... and people who have money to spare and are eager to get treated, can go to private health care facilities? Huh. Well, you'd think that would please the capitalists along with the socialists. I always figured the best thing would be to take the best from both sides.^^
Our boomers have gone senile, because they did not invest in lifelong education and proper mental health to fight neural degradation in old age. Because of this and other epigenetic factors, there are enough people who suffer from amygdala hypertrophy (correlating with conservatism), but do not have the mechanisms in their anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) to help them conflict monitor and catch memetic influences that are rationally flawed and filter them out. As a result, we have a significant portion of our populace over the age of 50 who have no neurological defense in their connectomes against modern memetic weaponry. They're also completely out of touch with where science and technology are at already too.
no you don't SJP. That was just Sara talking fancy, thinking that old = senile. She added in a scary sounding disease that affects less than 1% of people, and basically is trying to force her assumptions and own agenda by sounding all fancy (and SJP she probably googled half of those things too). Being in the medical field, what she just said was probably copy and pasted from briebart or some other similar source.
I can provide citations from reputable mainstream journals to support any of my assertions, on request. Yes, I used senile in the generic sense of age-related mental degradation, and not actual literal senility. But I'm confident that you can find the same citations I have access to on your own with a little search work and doublechecking.
Is he coming to Rome? Please can we agree that everyone keeps his own president at home without sharing? We didn't unload Berlusconi on you when we had him, so please be fair.
Don't you see that you have a historical opportunity here to give that buffoon a kick in his nuts(his nuts being his ego)? Italy had the closest thing to what Trump is, Benito Mussolini... once a socialist, then a fascist, but mostly a corrupt, corpocratic loudmouth! Greet him with posters of Mussolini, ask for his autograph on pictures of Mussolini... he doesn't even know who Mussolini is, so show the world clearly what a demented, narcissistic buffon this man has become! Make Cheeto Benito a thing! :)
Trump sets his jowls and pouts just like "Il Duce" Mussolini , same mannerisms. Il Duce means "The Leader"- wouldn't old Trump love that nick name? Just North Americanize it to " El Douche". And it would show that he has no animosity to the Mexican language. (yes, I know Mexicans speak Spanish-but Trump doesn't, I bet)
To be fair, I've made my way through a (smaller I think) bill of legalese once before, and that was mentally draining stuff. If I had a team of people to analyze those and give me the abridged version, I likely would.
It's fairly common practice. They just don't have the time to read everything that comes their way. If it's something they sponsored or care a great deal, then perhaps. I think the criticism here is not that they don't read bills they vote on, but the fact that they didn't read such a consequential bill. I guess if I want to be generous, they knew the senate was going to change the bill a lot anyway, so they just sent a rough draft, and when it bounces back from the senate they can actually read it.
When he said that the Middle East Conflict is easier than we think it is, I suddenly flashbacked to the time when he said it was easy being president. Or that healthcare is easy to pass. Or that his fucking wall would be built "bigly" and easily on his first 100 days in office.
Maybe when he's in Rome the pope can explain the concept of welfare and global warming in 10 minutes like the Chinese leader did with North Korea and get him to suddenly change his mind
Krombopulos Michael Republicans don't care for the current pope so I doubt Trump will listen. And if he did, his base would shrink more. Meanwhile, I'm still amused that Republicans so easily turned on the so-called _voice of God on Earth_ because he expressed views inconsistent with their party's warped beliefs.
"I'm still amused that Republicans so easily turned on the so-called voice of God on Earth" Who knew God could be so complicated? Turns out He's a commie; can't have that. No surprise -- Publicans already went w/ Satan; this is just the logical next step.
The pope is in Vatican City. I know it's confusing because it's a country (city-state) that's with in another country surrounded by another city. Seems silly to mention but they have their own citizens, army, government and produce their own money
Peace in the Middle East not that difficult. Riiiight. Says the man who said "who'd have thought healthcare could be so complicated??!!!". Yeah. So healthcare is harder than religious wars that have being going on for generations after generations. Piece of delicious Mar-a-Lago chocolate cake.
At 6:04, This just in from the Trump-Australia meeting: *A cowboy hat wearing man with a alligator west and thick Australian accent disrupted the meeting when proclaiming “That’s not a healthcare bill, this is a healthcare bill!” to President Trump’s face*
Lu Sapphire and the Muffin Button Band Actually! Dr.Doom only took over his county(forgot name damnit) to make it a better place. Same when he took over the world. In the comics when he visited Black Panther(Google or UA-cam for details) he was confirmed to be doing all of it for humanities benefit. Dr.Doom cared, that's all I'm saying.
Yes, in Australia, we do have universal healthcare. The poorest of the poor can walk into an emergency room and be treated for absolutely no charge.

Bernie muppet show joke was funny, think he'd be laughing at that 😂😂
DT is living proof... "Only the good die young" ...
Phase 2: big argument whether to apply Vaseline first.
Kenneth Nash Phase 2 is to kill off the poor population just like Jesus tells them to in that book they talk about nonstop, shame they don't read.
"Happy Friday" *thunderous applause*
holy hell, that audience really loves Fridays.
God bless you, Stephen Colbert
lol, tillerson looked like an unhappy captive in that last bit sitting next to trump
So is this trip to Rome gonna be the third time the city is sacked by uncivilised barbarians?
You forget we allow migrants in, so maybe fourth?
Are you seriously comparing the Visigoths and the 1526 years burning of Rome by Imperial troops with immigrants? I was making a historical joke.
Trump is the ultimate snowflake getting FCC to investigate a comedian. 😐
babygirl xoxo
Love you Stephen !!! Keep up the great work!!!
Stephen Colbert is my spirit animal
Peace in the Middle East not that difficult. Riiiight. Says the man who said "who'd have thought healthcare could be so complicated??!!!". Yeah. So healthcare is harder than religious wars that have being going on for generations after generations. Piece of delicious Mar-a-Lago chocolate cake.
stephen's gone full savage
Hassan Ilu I love it.
By openly lying
Bring Bernie in place of this orange cheeto!
* Cheeto in Chief

Love and support from Canada!
Stephen bringing out his Reducto voice for phase 2, love it !
Colbert is a legend. I don't fucking care :)
Achieve peace in the Middle East "is not that hard"... oh Americans, you're so screwed
Leave Stephen Colbert alone, FCC. #45 is a bully that must not be the poster child for younger bullies!
I love this Guy and his show!! He's good!!
I was in the audience for this recording. It was FANTASTIC
Stephen would make an amazing Bond villain. Make it happen Hollywood.

Only 4000 years of hatred; shouldn't be that hard... What a moron.
I want to write a comment, but I can't stop laughing, and Thank You Stephen!
The dark side is literally winning come on America
thepsychologistvjdj trump is the closest thing I've seen to a Disney villain..
More like a Captain Planet villain.
MY Cardinals? OMG
Stephen is on fire! this segment was actually really funny.
God dam am so happy am Canadien. Life is good when you are born in the right country.
LookAmericans. whatever you say about our kangaroo ambulances and koala nurses, just know, we have universal health care and you don't :p
Graciey48 You have koala nurses?! Best health care on earth!
alf landon:
Ironic how much your comment describes the US.
Tyiff Pejic don't lump everyone in the US into one category because of one thing one person said.
Woah guys, calm down, wouldn't want to get that blood pressure up, it's under preexisting conditions ;)
Harley Quinn not sure if that's sarcasm, but that's exactly what the US does to every country lmao
See Colbert makes fun of everyone. I like Sanders and that Muppet Show joke was hilarious!
how bout that Dr Who reference , what was that , ? A Dalick or something like that . Funny man ...makes you forget we are all going to die
Sanders aka the one who Actually cared about your future
That's my homie much love Stephen Colbert
You are an American Hero to me.
Trump in a bow tie is a mental scar that will never heal
Mike Pence always look like he's constipated lmao
he keeps his Christian beliefs in his butt that's why
It's because he needs to shit only in the presence of his wife, and she ain't always around.
Donald Trump is....A Carrot!!!!......Rated PG-13.
Rated PG-13 for Pussy Grabber. I'll let you fill in the blank for the number...
Alex Hahahahaha. But he's about to find out that being a carrot is harder than it looks.
Donald Trump derp de derp. Derp de derpity derpy derp. Until one day, the derpa derpa derpaderp. Derp de derp, da teedily dumb!
Colbert is someone I look up to now, a hero of mine.
At 6:04, This just in from the Trump-Australia meeting: *A cowboy hat wearing man with a alligator west and thick Australian accent disrupted the meeting when proclaiming “That’s not a healthcare bill, this is a healthcare bill!” to President Trump’s face*
Seeing the Orange clown in office is like living in bazaaro world.
What does not make sense is Trump trying to increase jobs yet throwing out the only people who actually want to work. (Mexicans)
Let's not forget, CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS GET PAID THEIR SALARIES FOR LIFE. They have no worries about ever affording healthcare.
Stephen "Cold Bear" Colbert Rocks!!!!
Brilliant twist on our very "unfunny" situation. Thank you for your sharp wit and levity.
Omg so hilarious!😂
The only doctor that likes the republican Healthcare bill is Doctor Doom.
Lu Sapphire and the Muffin Button Band Actually! Dr.Doom only took over his county(forgot name damnit) to make it a better place. Same when he took over the world. In the comics when he visited Black Panther(Google or UA-cam for details) he was confirmed to be doing all of it for humanities benefit.
Dr.Doom cared, that's all I'm saying.
mat d
Then how about Dr. Robotnik?
We are doomed, DOOMED!!
That evil doctor impression was just perfect! xD (sorry if I'm missing a reference)
this is a particularly good monologue!!! Sharp and funny.
