"Those that deny their history are doomed to repeat it."
I'm from Germany and I really don't want to interfere in American matters. I can only speak about bad history, which we really had. But we will not deny it. Instead we have a lot of documentation centers and information, so it should never be forgotten.
But we don't want to have any statues that honor those events.
PRECISELY. You can do plenty to ensure no one forgets this piece of our history without glorifying it.
As a fellow German, I totally approve this opinion!
But if you don't have statues of the Drittes Reich, you may get a second one, a 3.5 Reich, if you will. That's why Angela Merkel needs to start putting up statues of Himmler and Goebbels, so you guys don't get any more Nazis.
@@billyeveryteen7328 Shush.
Exactly! It won't be forgotten bc it's recorded some place academic, it will never be forgotten. In Germany, Poland one can visit former Concentration camps that are set up as memorials not tributes. The people who lived through that I believe we're asked if they should be destroyed but then general consensus was "no , keep them as reminders so people can visit and learn and never do this again" or something along those lines. They are solemn places. They are for education. These statues should be recorded somehow perhaps even placed in a museum or something as a reminder of bad history but certainly not in a town square or street corner.
Elmo: "Racism is bad"
Fox: "The message there is that America is bad and it's all your fault "
What????
I can only imagine Tucker tells his kids it's their personal responsibility to keep America as racist as possible, and it's never occurred to him that's this is not something every parent does.
This is what these idiots think all the time. Usually they're better at hiding it...
I guess because he identifies as a racist, then yes, America is bad and it's your fault.
I guess there's no spin at FOX...smh
@@odararumbol8781 Was gonna comment this myself.
Just imagine the mind of someone who gets offended at the idea that people are protesting racism and police brutality.
Those adorable kids are the Kind of Story We Need Right Now
Seth's little babies at the end...omg, so adorable. "happy birthday"
I'm British and I absolutely cracked up at Seth's British accent for the "fabled Aztec city of gold". Spot on! 😂 😂
"Our history as the greatest country in world" that...THAT right there is the root of 90% of our problems. We need to drop the pride and the arrogance and accept that we're just another country and not special.
Well your nation is still wearing a diaper compared to much of the rest of the world. the history of the U.S is extremely short compared to much of europe for example.
You mean stop being Murica the Great to become The United States of America ?
we're a baby country with laser guided missile technology, it's scary
Well, according to our education system...we're special.
It’s this kinda nationalism that we in Europe saw all over the place prior to ww1 and ww2. It breeds fanatics and distrust towards outsiders and strangers and I think we are seeing much of the consequences right now.
I love that Tucker Carlson says "That's a children's show", as if it's foolish to teach children that racism is wrong.
I like how he says "and it's your fault!" When it's his own fault lol not solely but hes contributing to the hate
I think it runs even deeper than that. It's as if it's dangerous to teach children that hatred is a bad thing because racism, like so many prejudices, is best contracted at the earliest of ages. Like religion, it won't 'take' half as well once the person comes of age.
He said he had a problem with it because it is teaching the children that America is a very bad place. He said Elmo was teaching that it's bobby's fault, I'm not sure who Bobby is. But Elmo wasn't saying that it was the children's fault. Elmo was not talking about how bad America is, he was talking about issues specifically in the black community. This is a children's show and if that guy on Fox News was a jr high student giving his report about this children's show he would get an F. How come people who watch Fox News don't see that?
For a racist it feels wrong

I don't know why any country would dedicate so many statues and monuments to celebrate traitors. It's so bizarre.
Most where installed in the 1900's by KKK groups.

Because may citizens feel that the are not traitors but heroes.
That's just the sad truth.
Jones is correct. Many of them went up in the 1960s and 1970s as a response to the Civil Rights Act being passed. It was a way to push back and remind minorities "of their place."
@william perkins Didn't the South rebel against the North because they refused to give up slavery tho? 🤔
Back then was then and many years of generations of glorified story telling. Today is way past due.
Seth Meyers is a gift and a comfort.
The political satire is spot on .weekend update and now closer look . plus he's from my home state NH.
He adjusted really well to the quarantaine situation
Very talented and entertaining.
Who's military are we celebrating? The Confederate Army was NOT OUR Military... just as King Geoege's army was NOT OUR military ... nor is Putin's army OUR Military.
Did someone forget to tell the Confederate Army that the Confederates LOST and The United States WON?
True
Yes
NASCAR should have a moonshine bottle as an emblem.
No.... We told them violently. But they are famously Sore Losers, the worst kind of Losers.
Well we did train their leaders who went to West Point alongside Union officers. Ironic as hell.
Even a general of the confederacy wasn’t salty when they lost, he saw his defeat and accepted it. Trump will never be able to do that
"I accept no responsibility"

And said that there should be no public commemorations after the war, so as not to keep feelings of division around
@@SquishyProductions I doubt he'll get the support of the military after multiple generals & admirals have publicly rejected his call to use them against US citizens who are protesting against racism & police brutality. (thank god because we're going to need them when he refuses to play by the riules after the election). In fact here's a list for who called out against it:
Gen. Powell

@@chuckrambo4401 You think Biden of all people has anything to do with our opinion of Trump? Sometimes it seems like the two are in a race to the bottom, and Democrats are just lucky Trump has such a massive head start.
It's also a misquote. The quote is about forgetting the past not denying it. What he is saying makes little sense since denial would not necessarily ensure repetition.
Trump denies the past pretty much all the time.

Congrats on your one thousandth show Mr. Seth Meyers, that's what I call WINNING!
*_“Respect our military!”_* Said cadet Bone Spurs... to... the military.
Also it's hilarious to me that some Americans can say _“greatest nation in the world”_ as if they're saying, _“D.C. is the capital of the USA.”_
If the USA is the greatest country in the world -and it may be- it's exclusively on account of its cultural diversity, its immigrants and ex-slaves. That's the only place the US is #1.
But somehow... I don't think that's what they are referring to here.
p.s. The confederacy fought against the US military. They were traitors who killed many good soldiers. It's weird to me those base names were ever kept at all.
I was in basic training at fort bragg. Never know it was named for a confederate general. A name change would have zero impact on my life. We trained to fight for the country, not the base.
Hey, we're still #1 when it comes to the number of Covid-19 cases, and Trump is determined to keep us there. His new slogan is MASA - Make America Sick Again.
My little sister is more of an American than that fat cheese weasel... she's a Mexican American shorty in the US Army.
ah yes, the old "our race is better than yours" logic... nice one
those names are meaningless, the people that train there defend the USA, not the Confederacy.

"I listened to a lot of tapes to get that impression right"
I love Seth's bitchy, deadpan delivery lately.
Where did Tucker Carlson grow up? Sesame Street has been addressing race and social issues since its first episode over 50 years ago.
Clearly he never watched Sesame Street as a child.
its not easy being green
...and what a hypocrite he is. But, he wants us, melanated people to forgive and get over it...'no matter what happened or what they did to us, we have no right to complain.'
It's why he's so far gone, he was never allowed to watch!!!
Tucker is ass he was born in to a rich family and he is rude cried and not tattooed hahaha and it isn’t 50 years hahaha
It's incredible that he treasures the military experience. He managed to avoid it five times.
He doesn’t treasure it, he fetishizes it.
cowards do that
@@None-lx8kj I think it's not even that deep, he fetishizes the idea of having it as a fetish, of being that manly.
@@kfl611
If a presidential candidate were honest about not serving and having fled for canada when they were sheltering draft dodgers because he felt the war was unjust and/or he was a pacifist, and not hypocritical (ie he wants to end wars), then yes, I'd vote for him (depending on other platform issues, of course). But lying and bribing, then wanting to keep troops overseas, bragging about knowing more than generals, etc? No.
And current draft system is actually sexist. Female presidential candidates need not worry because women aren't drafted. This carried over from when women were expected to raise kids and clean home. Obviously old and needs to be revised equally. All drafts or no draft.
I think if we ever go to war again, it should be a law that the congress and senate children get signed up first. That might make then reconsider if we really need to go back to war. That is if we ever get out of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Those kids are cuties. Never fail to make me smile when they come onscreen.

#SPOILER!!!
How is Hannity supposed to get anything done with his nose firmly wedged in Trump's butt crack.
If you “respect the military,” you’d support _their_ decision to rename the bases.
Duh!
literally, the very reason why they want their names changed, he just flipped it back, a technique I'm sure he earned from his lawyer "mentor". It's such a childish response like, "I know you are but what am I?".
Respect the military Trump Biden is the New President ..you can Win first term confederate president 2, ok your a winner thisis not a loss, take to the hills, go to Mar Lago in the south east states hide out in Florida like the Siminole indians did casue they did not want to go in the trail of tears. just hide in florida you will be fine trump.
People are so quick to say “if we rename them we’ll be forgetting the past and then it will repeat itself”
No, we aren’t forgetting it, we’re just not going to glorify it.
Yes, I never understood how refusing to glorify the losers of the Civil War is "erasing" history. We can still learn about them in history books, but we don't have to glorify them by putting up statues to them everywhere. FFS, you don't see statues of Hitler anywhere in Germany or statues of Mussolini in Italy.
@Star Dragon I would argue that allowing southern states to erect statues of their Confederate leaders probably emboldened the KKK. At one point in the South, like during the 1900's and up through the 1920's, you couldn't get elected to public office without being a member of the Klan. It was a huge deal, and they even marched in Washington, DC in full Klan robes. This is also the time when they erected many of the statues to confederate leaders we see today.
@Star Dragon They were fighting to own people. That deserves no respect. You still want a statue, put it in a museum. No museums want your garbage? make your own. We'll just petition the mayor of whatever municipality you put it, to rename the road it's on to "BlackLivesMatter Lane". We don't want your hate, get it through your heads.
America keeps repeating racism. I thought Millennials were better than racism until Trump got elected and saw so many white Millennials brought out their suppressed racism. After almost 4 yrs later the purging of the racism may be declining. Idk, maybe not.
I don’t think we’ll be repeating history. Now I know there are some white folk who would like to repeat history. But it’ll end up very differently the next time around. Less than 11% of the world’s population have pissed off human beings around the world. Life vs Anti-Life, who you got?!
I can’t remember who said this, but it fits: “If you’re used to 100% privilege, 98% feels oppressive.”
Couldn't have out it better myself.
I call it "First Sibling Syndrome". First siblings sometimes freak out when they see things for the new baby because everything has always been theirs
I don't even agree with that characterization.
My ppl are asking for equality not less privileges for the 1% and their white supremacy institutions

Jinx, I think renaming Fort Hood after your dad would be wonderful. He sounds a lot more fun than the person it is named after.

If Biden wins it will be a pretty sad day in American history. Because then it will prove that anyone who owns the news stations own this country and that the majority of the population are blind sheep. That will be a very sad day indeed. It's scary how people cant put two together that when trump went after China and the news stations that there was this flood of attacks against him. Chinese propaganda and our American news stations facilitating and helping it for viewership and advertisement money. The amount of times a clip of trump has been edited to give the illusion he said something when it was completely out of context. The news always adding in their opinion to brainwash the viewers instead of letting them form their own. So yeah, going with Biden is just a step back and scary...but there is a reason higher up companies want him...he is a puppet that will let the get away with outsourcing to China. You honestly think American companies dont want to go to China and havent been funneling millions to bash trump?!?!
That’s liberals who cry Russia cause Hillary lost
All of you stop. I wasn't talking to you. Nothing I can say to _you_ will change your minds. You follow a tyrant blindly and don't even see it. This "leader" has given you carte blanche to hate. It must end.

What the heck is Tucker yelling about?
Sesame street has always been about teaching kids about cultural problems
Don't believe me? My grandparents happened to be very close friends with Jim Henson
For Tucker there are children that are all innocent and should do nothing but play in the park who at some point instantly become adults that should know better and look after themselves. There is no inbetween.
He's an idiot.
Because Sesame Street is above his learning level. Much to complex for that orange faced wannabe to comprehend

It's called stoking fires. He loves to create mountains out of molehills, or issues out of nothing. He's a highly compensated propagandist, a paid agitator. Like Limbaugh, he probably doesn't believe half the nonsense he spouts, but he says it because they pay him $6M/yr. Gotta admit, I'd probably spout nonsense and lies if they paid me that much.

@jd2616
Wow.. That is a scary thought!!
Aghh!!!!!!!!!
I'm too lazy to dig through the comments section to confirm this, but I'm guessing that Seth's audience here on CZcams has very few racist southerners. I will tell you guys this if you ever find yourself in an argument with someone that tries to argue that the Confederacy wasn't about slavery: if you actually read the declarations of secession from the Confederate states, nearly all of them mention slavery as a cause for their desire to leave the US; in fact, several of them mention slavery as a reason in the first paragraph. So if someone tries to tell you that the Civil War was about "states' rights," they are technically correct; the US Civil War was about states' rights, chiefly among them the states' right to keep slavery legal.
sorry southerner here... have my reason why I loved the confederacy as a kid.... had mostly to do with country music, nothing to do with hate... But have had run-ins with those that hate... many sides, black, Cubans, Haitians, Venezuelans, Puerto Ricans, Columbians, and whites... Its a melting pot where the cheese does not like to mix so you have to keep beating it until its all smooth..... I love Seth, and I am a republican.

@@gaetagirl I had a friend in high school whose whole family wore the confederate t-shirts, flew the flags, etc. It was "all about heritage" and country music. She was one of the nicest people and their family was very inviting to me whenever I went over there. That being said, as a black person, I'm emotionally effected when I see the confederate flag. There's no amount of country music that will erase what the flag means in my heart. To me it represents the fight to keep black people enslaved and divide our country. Confederate soldiers were traitors to this country. You want to fly a flag to represent your heritage? How about the American flag?
@@Womynxx I am sure that there were "nice " Civilian Nazis feeding squirrels and playing polka music. Imagine if someone now shows you the wretched flag and tells you I love it for the "Polka" music. Dear lord people need to stop spinning what the flag represents and start being honest with themselves.
VOTE VOTE VOTE.....don’t take anything for granted
It doesn't matter as long as the Electoral College votes him back in again.
If anything these polls let Democrats feel like Trump can't win and some may not even vote.
If you want to vote Biden, I won't hold it against you. But *please* don't just hope electoral politics will fix everything. We need to unify as a country against all unjust power structures, not just this one orange dude.
@@@colechillen7700: We learned that lesson in 2016.
We are bigger, smarter, and pissed.
2018 midterms were only a warm up. The GOP and Trump will be shocked, and the world will rejoice.
Lol nope. Joe is a transphobe I'd rather not vote.
America isn't doing so well these days.
Honestly, I think it’s their fault they squandered their own potential the country is prideful, refuses to learn from its mistakes and is paying the price for it.

Awww, Seth!! Thank you for showing us your precious little ones! Perfect way to close the show! I'm going to be smiling for the rest of my day!
Is it possible to see those beautiful beautiful children and not yell in joy, "OMG, it's Ash and Lobby Baby!!!! 💕💕"
Ps: Seth, thank you for ALWAYS being a true ally to Black people. This has been your standard way unlike others who are just now deciding that we are human and deserving of respect and life. We appreciate you, Brothah. ✊💖

How was the play Mr Trump???
👏👏👏
Everybody go listen to and share "Fraggle Rock We Are Children of Tomorrow" this is how I grew up.
The Muppets have always stood against bigotry, hate, and intolerance.
Does Tucker know what a Muppet is?
Does he know they were created by hippie peacenik social equality advocate Jim Henson?
@@ZeroOskul, the Fraggle Rock theme being stuck in my head commences 😅
Hilarious!
Did I really just see tucker Carlson straw-man Sesame St? That's some pro-level desperation there.
Tru
straw-Muppet. for when you're not sure you can take on a full size straw-man
Especially since the Muppets are "colored" always have been. They thought since Elmo was Orange he was them????? Their stupidity and alleged supremacy is Hilarious!!
@@BenK12345 That was genius. +1 🤣
It was a funny sketch. The puppets calmly explain to children what's the turmoil they see in TV and the tension the can probably feel around. Then comes in an adult who behaves like a stupid baby, a bully on the playground... Oh the irony! It was a funny sketch, wasn't it? Please tell me it was a sketch. Even better, pls tell me I've been dreaming for the past 3.5 years
Of all of the various late night host's Trump impressions, I think I like Seth's best.
I almost choked myself laughing with this one... Love Seth!!!
I thought people were tired of giving others trophies for coming in 2nd place, now they build statues for them?? Wtf.
then there is that 31% who would back losers like George Wallace - so long as they hate the same people. Donny has a lock on that group.
Many of the statues went up in the 1960s and 1970s as a response to the Civil Rights Act being passed. It was a way to push back and remind minorities "of their place."
john doe thank you I forgot about that.
"Elmo wants to end racism too. Elmo wants everyone to be treated fairly" is never a phrase I thought would be contentious. I'm guessing Tucker didn't watch Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, Barney, Lambchop, Puzzle Place, or basically any TV show for kids.
Don't come for Elmo! We have Elmo's back! We stan Elmo.
My wife and I watched that with our kids. Carlson is 100 percent using it as a sensationalist scare tactic. It was meant to show little kids what's going on and why people are so upset so they aren't scared. But of course, Fox News isn't interested in reality anymore.
Childlike comment of yours...strange and unreal.
Tucker was a failed cloning experiment that escaped to terrorize America in order to lure out the person he was cloned from, Macklemore
Fox News complained about Mr. Rogers' teaching. They're assholes.
ELMO....Everyone Lies More Often....
Seth in quarantine is better than the show when it was live. Pure gold.
I for one think you are correct about this
Your children are the best stars on this show omg
Even knowing it was coming, I couldn't help but break out in a huge smile when Seth's kids came out to end the show! 😁
Right? Those sweet faces made me so happy
They are lovely!!
Trump literally said he wished he could introduce Abraham Lincoln when he was acquitted, and now is defending the Confederacy
Ok... so you're still surprised that he's spewing nonsensical, divisive BS?
Istdoch Allesegal Hell no. Just pointing out more of his bullsh*t
He just like Lincoln by the Republican brand alone. He skipped history class where we learned the parties actually swapped labels.

@@shannond7437 And now some of the richer propagandists on the right, including one notable one whose name makes it sound like a place of higher education and another one who was the recipient of a rare Trump pardon, are trying to convince you that this switch never happened, because of, among other things, the fact that Abraham Lincoln existed

Well..
At least there's far more ingenuity in that, don't ya cut her some slack?
Honored to meet your adorable children 😀 look forward to seeing more of them... 👌
Not to mention that he thanked the SS. for the help with the protestors in front of the white house, not realising that he is the last person who should call the Secret Service SS. -.-
especially at his age, but then again he didn't learn anything throughout his existence, he's an idiot.
Awwwwwww talk show hosts have the cutest kids, these two are just adorable!, Congratulations Seth Meyers and your team for a thousand episodes 🙏🏼🍀💕

Babylon was a great nation also, maybe this will end up being a repeat of then, now. 😉
I’m just throwing this out there, maybe when you guys return to the studio you could have influential guests like NYC doctors and nurses, more politicians, and activists.
Colin Watt New York doctors and nurses that will tell you the pandemic is and was BS. I watched nobodies walk into hospitals in March when the plandemic was at its height in Italy, Germany, and New York and there was no covid patients in the hallways nor in the tents that were set up for overflow. Where were they? Let’s ask the media. They seem to know everything
@@kellykurenoff1692 Well, the infection rate didn't seem to spike there until late March so... FAKE NEWS?!? Fox drones /smh
I am not living in America but I am concern because as a web developer I have seen the impact of US based company in our ecosystem and I have respect for America for their intelligence but recently I wish I can say the same. The media is just reporting, they are tools to get info, you in the other hand should judge for yourself. CNN over flog issues and hate Trump and I don't blame them, he just reminds me of my nasty Nigerian government but FOX news is a disgrace to journalism, if you watch that channel I can only say one thing to you, your brain is being fried!
@@kellykurenoff1692 my neighbor is a nurse....we are in an area that has not been overwhelmed with Covid 19 cases.......two days ago she told me that there has definitely been an uptick since our state ended restrictions......she works in a hospital so I'm thinking she knows more than someone who is "observing" but doesn't actually work there 🤷
Kelly Kurenoff you can go ahead and remain willfully ignorant until and unless you live through this virus. Some people must learn the hard way, I get that. I’ll hope you don’t have to experience it personally despite your self.
honestly speaking, it was more touching personable and impacting to have his kids appear than some star extravaganza ending.
Thank you Seth Meyers........ We love your clips and your children too. We need more people like you !!!!
Its funny how Sesame Street has more confidence in the emotional maturity of their viewers, than Tucker Carlson does.
Have you ever seen young black and white kids playing together... Its like they don't even know they're supposed to hate each other. Thank God we've got Tucker, to stand up to Elmo, and his evil message, of tolerance and equality!
SO TRUE!!!
lol, nice point mate, u are fucking right..:-D
All Tucker is selling to the old disgruntled ex-hippies who fear change is look at how bad the world will be. Change is inevitable. Funny that those who screamed for change in the 60's now fear it.
Considering the quality of Tucker's arguments it only makes sense that he has moved on to arguing with puppets instead of humans.
(P.S. by puppet, I am in this instance referring to Elmo, not the pundit puppets Tucker usually argues with)
Great show! Still laughing..........Thanks!
Thank you!!!!👍🙂👍
The thing about greatness is: someone, be it country or person, who blindly proclaims its greatness and uses this word as an excuse to not acknowledge its shortcomings (which everyone has) , is far from greatness. In my opinion, the greatest people or countries have always been the most humble ones.
Thank you ❤️
well said!!!

Such precious kids!!! And on the 1000th show.. best sign off we could've asked for😁
Thank you Seth for giving me a good laugh today! You are genius!
Seriously, Seth Meyers is the best.
OMG, does Tucker Carlson even hear himself when he talks? "That's the message, Bobby, and no matter what happens, no matter what they do to you when you grow up, you have no right to complain." Uh, yeah, Tuck, THAT's been the message for 400 years, and we're trying to CHANGE that. Up to speed now?
His racism is palpable!! He might as well have just come out and say "Bobby, we white people are being victimized by these people of color who keep insisting that they want the rights and liberties that we have... their demands are hurtful to us, Bobby, but I guess we're just going to have to take it... because remember what Elmo's Dad said on Sesame Street?!"
But he obviously means that you'll have no right to complain if you're white. Because apparently caring about black people's problems means that we stop caring about everyone else's. That's why these idiots say "all lives matter."
He does. Tucker Carlson is smart enough to know it's ridiculous. It's all outrage theatre.
I think Tucker is just having a flashback to his childhood when his parents told him that the fact he exists is all his fault. So he is taking his aggressions out on the rest of us. That man needs serious therapy!
Tucker sounds like this the first time he's watched Sesame Street. Why didn't he have a problem when Big Bird wanted to change his looks because the other birds wouldn't let him play with them.Sesame Street has always promoted the idea that everyone should be treated kindly, fairly, and equally. And if the right didn't want them to take away guns (which were being used carelessly) from Sam and Elmer, maybe they shouldn't have spent so much time blaming violence on TV and video games.
Sesame Street: Racism is bad.
Tucker Carlson: i'M bEiNg OpPrEsSeD!
Conservative parents dont let their kids watch sesame st. anyways.
His takeaway from that clip is beyond bonkers. If anything, Sesame Street is teaching kids that they can be part of changing things they don’t like. How are you going to act like the show is blaming Elmo for racism??? The whole deflecting issue of “white guilt” aside, I don’t think Elmo is white.
When will Tucker Carlson quit his bullshit?
johnfrancisdimples He won’t, gets paid too much. Unless some random sexual harassment claims get brought to light
Fox News reactionaries: If you're honestly surprised that Sesame Street has a progressive bent, you do not know JACK about Sesame Street. It was literally started in the late '60s by a renegade band of hippies with puppets, led by an experimental filmmaker. You were expecting maybe they'd put out the kiddywinkie version of National Review?
More like, SJW STREET! GOT EM
TY Seth ....
"you could have expected celebrity guests and looks at our funniest moments" - Is anybody really missing spending a third of the show time on a clip show and another third on people who want to add "late night guest" to his CV?
