Americans should be embarrassed that Kevin McCarthy holds a political office of any sort and should be terrified that he could become Speaker of the House and therefore 3rd in line for the Presidency.
+Alexander ML Jones Yup, it was just my imagination. Never been to a Lexus dealership in Newport, Rhode Island. Or any Lexus dealership, for that matter.
+Los Blancos Sir, you have offended me and I demand satisfaction in the form of a written apology to Jeb Bush. The apology needs to be notarized and sent to Mr. Bush's office via USPS Priority or preferably, Express.
Stephen speaks better than any of them could, but I wouldn't want him to leave because he makes a bigger difference here than he ever could being involved in convoluted government policies.
+mest5621 If you look at the whole clip he had already talked about it more sincerely, of course media is going to go to a small clip to point something out........ I thought everyone knew this already....
Luis López The point is Jeb doesn't feel compelled to do a single thing about it. Jeb can talk about it sincerely all he wants, but that's all it is, talk. Not exactly leadership material.
+randomflashbacks guys you're jealous just because the language that his country learned him isn't to par or under par, but upper par, than what your too used to.
5:48 "My fellow Americans. Long before times have we faced great challenges of this nation, but America is anything if not a land from opportunity. Of the speaker and the house, Kevin McCarthy wants to rise that opportunity and let every mouth speech as one. It's the circle of life and it moves us all because without a brave leadership, America won't be left behind. I believe it was Ronald Reagan who said, "Thomas Jefferson." And those are words are still are true today. Thank you, may God thank America, and Hello." Pulitzer Prize worthy.

This is so much better than The Tonight Show from Jimmy Fallon. Fallon always looks like he's really nervous and jittery. The show is almost too scripted and it really tries hard to be family friendly. Colbert is not only comfortable with the job he was given, but he's actually funny and a great person to watch. Who ever in the the networking industry chose Colbert to take over The Late Show, you made a good decision.
+dontwanttosignupok Because if you've been paying attention..... he is nothing like his dad and is known to disagree with his brother. Idk about you, but I'm nothing like my dad, in the United States we can all be our own person by choice, but we see that many rather be influenced by their parents. Doesn't mean everyone is.
+dontwanttosignupok Oh and plus..... idk if you knew.... but our current conflict isn't with Iraq, I don't know if you knew this. We have kinda backed out of there when Obama came in office.
Sorry, but Jeb! is right. Government solutions in the aftermath of tragedy often leads to the worst legislation possible. Just look at the Patriot Act.
+Jupiter Kansas The difference is that this "stuff" (as Jeb! likes to put it) happens with frequency and is a trend, it is not an outlier event (there is a significantly higher rate of mass-shootings than any other advanced country). Perhaps legislation is needed to change the frequency and trend, after all, that is what a government is for.
Jupiter Kansas I know what you mean. That is why "rate" (of mass shootings) is the key word. Legislation based on research and reason would've (most likely) had gun policy change happen sooner as a way to combat the mass shooting frequency. Now you're still waiting for anything to be done.
+Rodrigo García Álvarez Well it doesn't help that Congress has banned government agencies from doing research on gun violence. That would be a place to start.
Jupiter Kansas Seriously? That seems... odd. but there surely must be third party agencies (non affiliated) or institutions doing statistical analysis and research?
Am I the only one who thinks Kevin McCarthy sounds like he might legitimately have some sort of neurological issue? I mean, I know public speaking can be heard, but he doesn't even seem to notice how bad he's flubbing his lines.
+Florence MacKenna Nah. He simply planned on dazzling his audience with his great hair and looks. His handlers had to have known there was something wrong with this man's oratory. My only hope is that a speech writer didn't pen those gems. White guys get away with so much!
As an American, it is my constitutional right to bear arms and thus am against all forms of gun control. I mean, the government is corrupted and tyrannical, and being armed will protect me from said tyranny. I am unwilling to compromise my rights in any way even if it means the loss of innocent lives. Clearly, our country would be much safer if everyone was armed with a gun.
"May God thank America and hello." Yes, that's it -- Kevin McCarthy is our first Bizarro-American Majority Leader! Not sure what world Boehner was from.
Not doing anything in the face of a crisis must be a Bush family trait, as his Brother Dubya sat in stone silence for 5 minutes after being told "the country is under attack."

Kevin McCarthy looks like the sales manager at a Lexus dealership in Newport, Rhode Island.
So specific.

Stephen speaks better than any of them could, but I wouldn't want him to leave because he makes a bigger difference here than he ever could being involved in convoluted government policies.
Yup. Al Franken is basically irrelevant now.
Oh yes comedy is a great way to introduce ideas and make them stick
And some thought Jeb was the smart Bush.
+TheSnoopy1750 he's an idiot so basically if "stuff happens" we shouldn't do anything to fix it?

Omg. I honestly had hoped that I misheard "hungria". wtf. Who are these people??!??!
Hearing Kevin McCarthy speak must be what it's like to have a stroke.
I am SO tickled!! Oh Steven Tyrone, I've missed you so.

For a moment, it feels like watching "Colbert Report" again. Good times.
I.... I think I love you, Stephen.
That speech at the end truly moved me.
In all seriousness, though, you are the best late night host by far.
his ending bit was too funny hahaha
so 'on point'. Thank you, Stephen Colbert.
Stephen is the greatest comedian! I was dying watching this!!
Once again Colbert's observation of the mad characters of the America political system is spot on. In other words, cray cray...
This segment literally had me in stitches! LMFAO! XDD
The JFK parts the amused my tears out. lol
Damn you Stephen. After all this time "JEB!" is still stuck in my head lmaooo!
Kevin McCarthy: "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"
+Visceral Emu That's exactly what came to mind as I was listening to him speak.
Jeb eat a snickers, you're not you when you're hungria.
Wait a minute...1:48 why was the word "shootings" dubbed in? What did Stephen actually say during taping there? O_o
I think he was saying "School Killings".
*****
Yeah I kinda thought that too but why would he say that unless it was just a flub?
drewzifer
That could be it....and I can see why they might change that too.
Probably audio de sync
+stiimuli School killings
Lol! Stephen clowned Jeb at the end! Hahahahaaa
Man, I wish Jon Batiste would echo Stephen's "Jeb!" like he did in the earlier episodes. That was friggin' hilarious
McCarthy sounds like Miss South Carolina.

In Australia we say 'shit happens'
LOL Hungria!!! hahahaha
Jeb! "not necessarily doing anything". I think he got that from his brother's example of not doing anything after Katrina.
@1:12 Jeb!...
He really captures the goofy energy of the slogan every time he refers to Jeb.
Terribly ironic that Kevin McCarthy should be given any job with the word "speaker" in the title.

You'll be singing a different song now that Mumbles is out and CRAZY Louie Gohmert is IN! Hee Haw!!
Excellent satire by Stephen. I hope McCarthy sees it, and is smart enough to keep his mouth shut from now on.
This guy is just so awesome... I love very single clip he has done in the past 10 years.
This is so much better than The Tonight Show from Jimmy Fallon. Fallon always looks like he's really nervous and jittery.

"Maybe things will work themselves out." - Jeb
I half-expected McCarthy to say, "I am American, and so can you." He's got the wording down pat.
Is McCarthy related to Palin?
As a norwegian, I love this man!
Dayummmm... destroyed!
"I believe it was Ronald Reagan who said, Thomas Jefferson".
Stephen Colbert, 2015.
This was beautiful. That McCarthy guy is a friggin' riot. No wonder he backed out. He probably can't order a pizza with screwing it up.
McCarthy's public speaking can best be described as a speech put into Google translate, translated into Japanese, and then back to English.

Ehh, stuff happens. 😂😂
He wouldn't do that after what his dad and brother have gotten them into though.
