Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT, the #1 show in late night, where he talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology and more. Featuring bandleader Louis Cato and “THE LATE SHOW band,” the Peabody Award-winning and Emmy Award-nominated show is broadcast from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer and writer of THE LATE SHOW on Sept. 8, 2015.
It makes perfect sense, Trump picking Vance. Vance repeates Russian talking points and Trump is Putin's puppy.
Putin PICKED Vance and Donald bowed down to Putin.
All Republican party talking points for the last 9 years are Russian based in their origins. Putin is ecstatic that Trump is coming back.
FDJT🎉
Wasn’t it Hunter Biden that was working for the the Chinese and Ukraine government? Selling what? Oh right state secrets
And will never change, the US use to have Russia at arms distance but since Trump he has betrayed the US by Loyalty to strange bed fellows lolololol,
Mr. Colbert and staff. I am grateful for the live shows during this time. The Show is grounding and creating balance. Keep doing what you are doing. Thank you.
Voting against your own self interest is bananas.
“The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.”
Amazing analogy! Thanks for sharing!
Like that
Adam, thank you so much for your service and your commitment to the truth.
Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney are true American heros!
I love Mr Kinizinger, he talks so much good sense and he is a True Hero of America. He stands for Democracy and the US Constitution a defender. He is a decent and honest man.

@@romaniwasiwka689 one word can say it all.
This thread is resplendent in cerebral dialogue. So refreshing!!!
Absolutely! Why can’t Republicans run a person like him for president?
@@rjrocks6345 Yes...Trump Cannot open his mount and a lie flies
Kinzinger is great. He's so clear. I sure hope Trump isn't ever given Presidential Power again. 🇺🇸
It's often people who've been inside the cult and escaped that speak the truth
I agree with that 100 percent !! I was once a democrat and completely brainwashed by cnn and other legacy media channels.. once you do your own research and start using your common sense it gets better!!
But Kinziger was never "in". He watched the takeover but never joined - possibly the best kind of witness.
This is why the _Mea Culpa_ podcast hosted by Michael Cohen is so invaluable. Michael was Trump’s fixer and perhaps closest “friend” and he interviews other apostates from Trump’s inner circle like Tony Scaramucci, Omarosa, Penn Jillette, and many more.
So far that I know of there has been only one that has left and spoken out who was featured on the Luke Beasley show.

Does not matter now because the Supreme Court will throw out each and every accusation against Trump. Democracy has already died. Best keep your head down, accept that Trump will be President for life come November and don’t rock the boat. Kinda how things are in Russia now.
Rupert Murdoch's role in Jan 6 and Trump/MAGA overall is disgusting.
None of this would exist without Rupert Murdoch.
Murdoch more than any other individual has brought western civilisation to its knees, by supporting Trump and Brexit. J D Vance is just another liar who changed his views on trump to promote his career. Vote Biden and all democratic candidates to save democracy.
He is a disgrace to Australia
@@petewilliam4295yes he is a disgrace and our embarrassment to the world. However, because of American greed and Reagan etc, he was allowed to get this far…. Just saying!

Vote for decency, vote for Joe.
Cannon needs to be dismissed for protecting a convicted felon and obstructing justice.
Or simply sheer incompetence.
Cannon was only following Clarence Thomas’ recommendation when he wrote his concurrence opinion concerning the SCOTUS presidential immunity ruling. They’re both partisan DJT stooges. 🌊🇺🇸💙
@@CreaticityIsLife Methodical delays and procedural obfuscations are not incompetence when these are the goals. Inventive laundry lists of obstructionist tactics take..."skillz."
TDS much.
Better get used to it, he's gonna be ur next president.
Trump 24 MAGA
Cannon's ruling was spoon-fed to her by Uncle Tom... I mean Justic Clarence Thomas in his improper comment in the Presidential Immunity case the SJC also got wrong.
We used to read Animal Farm in school-- you know to teach critical thinking. Now people don't send their kids to school. Double speak is real. It's sad to watch what America is becoming.
The 8th grade classes at the school I work at read Animal Farm this year. But I do live in a generally progressive state.
@@Aran.Words.Whatnot I grew up in New Orleans, technically in Louisiana!
Why doesn’t Adam Kinzinger run for president. He has integrity, is smart and has e clear way of talking and telling what things are about. He has served his country ( the orange clown can’t say that) and above all; is the next generation. !
He may run in 2028, we shall see!
May Kamala pick Adam Kinzinger for her VP 🍀🇺🇲🍀
Thank you, ADAM!!!!❤❤🎉🎉
Much respect!
Perfect guest, Mr. Colbert. Many thanks for making this happen🎉
Pure class thank you adam may have lost your place in the gop but you saved your soul 🙏
Oh yea, Jack Smith has already said he's taking this to the 11th circuit of appeal. His hands were tied until now. Cannon finally made her grand move Justice Token told her would work. It wont.
t won't.
I expect the 11th circuit to do the rigth thing but then it will go to the SC. And then, who knows?
Even if SC will do the rigth thing, Trump will keep appealing and claim immunity.
@@okkietrooy6841 And if re-elected it all becomes a real #### mess.
@@windycityliz7711 No mess. He fires Garland and replaces him with a sycophant. Charges dropped.
And yet, he still voted for Trump in both 2016 and 2020.
Look, it's better having Kinzinger now than never, and I do think he's showing some measure of courage here. I think even Colbert showed a great deal of grace towards Adam as a guest, letting Adam get a lot said without grilling the man.
But are we supposed to just forget that he still helped build Donald Trump as President? It was only four years ago that he was where J.D. Vance is now, cozying up to the MAGA movement.
Mistakes are one thing, but his atonement might just be too little too late.
Trump had a strong chance to win another term and the first term never should have happened, to start with.
Still, somehow, I'm glad that at least _someone_ among what's left of the the Republican Party has some guts to say, "Enough."
He is not a part of the Republican Party. He didn't run because he knew he was going to be replaced by the VOTERS Just like Lizzy Gal. If he is a member of any party it is the DNC or call him an independent. STOP calling him a Republican he is not part of the Party.
People can change, and imho, he has. It takes courage to speak the truth the way he is now, and I respect him for it.
Didn’t know that. Heard him speak out against turd a couple years ago, & I know he’s in a tough spot, but damn, the Republican Party was bad enough with both Bush Administrations & the intro of Palin, now they’re trying to set a record for most clowns in the clown car. & he’s delusional if he actually believes that we’d be able to work side by side with cult members.
Much respect for Liz and Adam and the Lincoln Project folks for saying ENOUGH and taking a stand against a leader of their own party because they know he is CORRUPT
How Trump got elected in the first place...🤔 he told a bunch of lies about Hillary and got Russia to interfere.

I'm frustrated about the cancel culture aspect to Democrats. Are you for Trump? Please elevate Biden. To please FOCUS on Joe Biden's accomplishments...cover that in details vs just all about Trump.
President Joe Biden 2024!
Justice delayed is justice denied.
Trump just successfully pulled off his latest desperate move.
Uk citizen.
Mr. kinzinger has just put, in the clearest and most succinct terms, the truth about the sheer horror that is the presidential immunity ruling that I've heard yet. I am (was) awate that that distopian truth is the potential future and have even tried to express it to my right-leaning friends; i only wish that I'd had that particular few sentences to hand when i did.
Oh, and that i wasn't talking to my right-leaning uk friends, of course.
The future of democracy in the US and then the UK is sunk if you guys vote the maga party in again
When you have several Republicans speaking out against Trump, like Kinzinger and Cheney, why would some of them be so afraid to do so when they can't stand him behind the scenes? Every one of those people on the VP list turned themselves inside out and sold their souls, just to try to get their hands on power. This is everything I learned in church NOT to do as a child. Did these knuckleheads not watch "The Little Mermaid" for crap sake? Didn't we learn anything from Ursula the Sea Witch? "Those poor unfortunate souls..."
This Republican has integrity.
He's not a republican,he's a Democratic stooge now bought by CNN
He is fake
If he had more integrity, he wouldn't be a Republican.
@@disastermaster1413 You are jealous.
He'd have a lot more integrity if he left the Republican Party.

Adam Kinzinger is a nice guy and I’m glad he vote for Joe Biden 💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏
Should trump's goons ever go for Adam or Liz, they will have to get past me. And I'm a Democratic voter. They are both "Stand Up."
January 6 was not an official act, it was conspired down the street in a hotel, not the oval office.
You have no value in the investigation.
@@YouWinAFREEiPODHe has an opinion whether you agree or not.
Do you really believe that? That DJT never stoked the fire? Remember, "Proud Boys, stand down and stand by."?
Stand down and stand by. To many Americans, what DJT was saying was, "Proud Boys (and others), quiet the chatter, but be ready to roll if I give the signal."
I have heard this from people in both parties. And, sadly, our Senators and Representatives, many of whom were there on January 6th, have done a 180° turn around. You know whonyou are! I mean, who was it that was filmed saying, "I'm done. It's over!" after the riot. Yet, when everyone gathered back to finish the job, they goose-stepped right back in line, and went along with the party vote?
There were a few brave Republicans who stood up to say, "No More!!"
Then, they were invited to visit DJT after he moved to Florida. By the time they left, it was obvious they had drunk the koolaid, and they were on his side, once again.
I have a theory.
It's obvious that not all Republicans have been on the Feckless Fuhrer's side at all times. In those cases where the koolaid is ineffective, they are invited to visit DJT. So, they go to visit Himself, and they are replaced by duplicates, a la "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". I see no other way that seemingly intellegent people have caved to DJT's will so quickly, unless they are replaced with mindless duplicates. In today's climate, who can tell the difference?

Adam Kinzinger is a Republican I could vote for. And I haven't voted for a Republican Since 1988.
Me too.
Gr8 interview. I have really come to respect Mr Kinsinger and the way he stands up for Democracy in the USA
I sure like Adam, honest and sincere and a Republican. Thanks 🙏 Adam
Go Guy, it's all up to this way of thinking to keep sanity in a democracy. You and Ms Chaney damn didn't think I would ever say that...just remembering
Adam is a true republican. And speaks the truth. Listen up people
Remember people Biden has the immunity also right now
And the fact he isn't abusing it is the very reason he needs to stay president!!
Also here to say, Adam Kinzinger is the ONLY kind of Republican I could vote for... A centrist who GENUINELY gives a F about America and it's citizens! We'd likely disagree on quite a bit, but if he were running for POTUS right now, he'd get my vote.
It’s sad that American democracy is so fragile people think Kinzinger is a centrist now. He’s a dyed in the wool republican, he’s just not maga.
We need to change the Supreme Court members and also limit their terms.
If Trump is re-elected we will never vote AGAIN
Be the king above the law 😂
Oh please! do you look under the bed before you go to sleep?
@@paulmobbs2131 If it were to happen, who even cares? What would be so wrong with Trump staying on? The trick with the libtards is to just agree with them and if they are right, that's even better. Trump has such a massive lead in the polls he isn't losing and will probably have enough power to make sure Republicans never lose another election. I don't see what is wrong with that? Would make this country a lot better than the sh!t show it has become.
no one cares
Fear mongering much ?
Unfortunately I am worried because the cult is growing, especially in my state of TN. I used to be a Reagan guy but now, I can’t put my trust in this current GOP.
Where was Kinzinger when they were loading up the Supreme Court with the likes of Brett M. Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas and Alito.
Was he even born when Clarence was placed? He was pretty young when Alito was placed (Bush the elders term).
He was in the House of Representatives. Confirmation hearings are held in the Senate.
@SunFlower-xr2ov Clarence Thomas was in 1992
He was a 12 year old boy when Clarence Thomas happened. So. You may want to get tighter with the time line.
*Kavanaugh, Barret and Gorsuch. All of whom said in their senate confirmation hearings that RvW was Stare Decisis. Also, The house committee asked to have an additional background check and investigation into Kavanaugh for his alleged abuses against women. The then director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, who was appointed by trump, was told by trump admin to hand over all the information regarding anyone who claimed to have been witness, somewhere on the order of 3,000 people, and only investigate the ones allowed by the trump admin. That is in testimony from Christopher Wray in a senate subcommittee.
Love Kinzinger He's aways right on
Mr. Kinzinger has flourished since his last appearance on this show. He is more energetic, direct and eloquent than ever before. I am not a Republican, but I think it would be great news for this country if he, together with Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Chris Christie and other moderate Republicans ousted from their own populist party became the founders of an intelligent, truly patriotic and democratic right-wing party.
Also worth noting that VP pick, Vance, said he would NOT have certified the election results if he were Pence. Pence had stated that there was nothing more un-American than thinking that one person can overturn an election.
Love Adam!!! A true American who puts our country first!!!!
Thank you Adam ✌️♥️🗽
One of the few true Republicans left along with Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney etc..
Huge fan of Mr. Kinzinger. I would vote for him for President in a minute.
This timeline is wrong in every way EXCEPT for Deadpool and Wolverine.
Maybe they can fix it.
Well said as always! Thank you, Adam Kinzinger!
He should go for president, either as a Democrats or independent someday.
What a lovely and reasonable man. In one succinct sentence on the importance of democracy he brought me back into participation after 8 years of lost faith and not voting. I sincerely hope this man continues to pursue higher levels of office.
Great shoes, too. ;)
Excellent interview. Thank you for this.
Not just great having Kinzinger on the show but it’s awesome to give him the time to talk about things in detail 🗳️
What Adam Kinzinger said makes so much sense. Pure respect.
Adam should run for President. Decent Republican.
A phrase worth repeating: Justice delayed is justice denied.
Adam Kinzinger IS simply one of The BEST! Would LOVE if would seek the Presidency at some point in the future. Ditto, Pete Buttigieg. 💙
MAGA vs SAD (Save America's Democracy)
I like DAD better, Defend America's Democracy!
I've not been a fan of too many republicans , but Mr. Kinzinger is possibly the most reasonable and rational person I've listened to from the right. Hoping in the future he has a chance to bring the party around to a more sane version so the hateful rhetoric can cease and we all can find a way to live together instead of demonizing the other side no matter which side we're on even people like me that reside in the middle...
If Trump Senior has 5 kids by 3 wives and is traveling south at 50 mph, and Trump Junior has 5 kids by one wife and is traveling west at 40 mph, how many indictments until the 2 men meet in prison?
😂😂😂
False equivalence. Traveling south at 50 mph means he is immune to prosecution. Therefore, trump jr. would only see his daddy if his daddy came to see him.
Kinziger for President. He is a decent Republican.
I want a cross party ticket... Harris - Kinzinger 2024
This guy, Adam Kinzinger, should run for office for President of the United States
This guy seems cool
It's sadly not true that "No one is above the law." Trump, clearly is.
Justice Thomas clearly is. I'd agree Trump is as well, but at least with Trump we have seen some action on accountability. There has been a distinct lack of discussion on criminal accountability for Thomas. Also, Cavanaugh is very apparently a rapist yet the government sees fit to cover that up, just as they did for Thomas.
Congress can go through the toothless ceremony of impeachment for Thomas, but the DOJ should have been pursuing criminal charges against Thomas years ago. Tax fraud, if nothing else. Nothing gets a resignation faster than prosecution, ask Spiro Agnew.
Kitzinger is wonderful. 💙😎
If only Kinzinger would run as the Dem nominee for President.
Why isn’t Kinzinger running for POTUS or VPOTUS? He’d make a great moderate Democratic presidential candidate…since he’s had it with the extreme Republican right and dysfunctional Trump lackeys.
100 percent
Adam got guts❤ than rand paul
He's one of the few Republicans I would truly consider voting for office
was it all the crying or all the lying that makes you like him?

Question is, if that "judge" really thought that Special Counsels are "unconstitutional" (hint: they aren't unconstitutional), then why she didn't throw out the case on those grounds in the first week instead wasting all of our time? SMDH
While concerned, I can't help but feel that the majority of voters have common sense and will vote Blue. I'm more concerned about the Electoral College; every time it overrode the popular vote, it benefited a Republican.
