1
00:00:03,211 --> 00:00:07,340
>> WE MUST MAINTAIN LAW AND
ORDER AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OR WE

2
00:00:07,340 --> 00:00:11,636
WILL CEASE TO HAVE A COUNTRY.

3
00:00:11,636 --> 00:00:18,226
WE WILL CEASE TO HAVE A COUNTRY.

4
00:00:18,226 --> 00:00:24,858
I AM THE LAW AND ORDER...

5
00:00:24,858 --> 00:00:25,900
>> S STOP THE STEAL!

6
00:00:28,236 --> 00:00:31,239
THAT TURNED OUT TO BE A BIG
GREAT SCAM LIE.

7
00:00:31,239 --> 00:00:34,242
>> Announcer: IT'S "A LATE SHOW
WITH STEPHEN COLBERT."

8
00:00:34,242 --> 00:00:37,287
TONIGHT:
STEPHEN WELCOMES

9
00:00:37,287 --> 00:00:44,711
SENATOR AMY KLOBUCHAR
CONGRESSMAN ADAM KINZINGER.

10
00:00:44,711 --> 00:00:51,259
FEATURING JON BATISTE AND STAY
HOMIN'.

11
00:00:51,259 --> 00:00:53,219
AND NOW, LIVE FROM
THE ED SULLIVAN THEATER OFFICE

12
00:00:53,219 --> 00:01:02,270
BUILDING IN NEW YORK CITY, IT'S
STEPHEN COLBERT!

13
00:01:02,270 --> 00:01:06,733
>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY.

14
00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:11,321
WELCOME TO AN UNEXPECTEDLY LIVE
"LATE SHOW"."

15
00:01:11,321 --> 00:01:14,240
I'M YOUR HOST, STEPHEN COLBERT.

16
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,870
YOU KNOW HOW YOU KNOW IT'S LIVE?

17
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:20,288
IF IT WASN'T LIVE, THEY WOULD
HAVE EDITED OUT ALL THIS DEAD

18
00:01:20,288 --> 00:01:27,086
SPACE I'LL G GIVING YOU RIGHT NO
I REALLY WANT TO DO THE SHOW

19
00:01:27,086 --> 00:01:30,590
WE'RE ABOUT TO DO AND I ALSO
DON'T WANT TO DO THE SHOW WE'RE

20
00:01:30,590 --> 00:01:33,092
ABOUT TO DO BECAUSE LORD HAVE
MERCY.

21
00:01:33,092 --> 00:01:36,304
THERE ARE SOME DARK SUBJECTS
THAT WE TALK LBOUT ON THE SHOW

22
00:01:36,304 --> 00:01:42,310
OCCASIONALLY, BUT I'VE REALLY
BEEN AS UPSET AS I AM TONIGHT.

23
00:01:42,310 --> 00:01:45,271
AND I'M SURE YOU ARE, TOO.

24
00:01:45,271 --> 00:01:49,317
HEY, REPUBLICANS WHO SUPPORTED
THIS PRESIDENT, ESPECIALLY THE

25
00:01:49,317 --> 00:01:52,320
ONES IN THE JOINT SESSION OF
CONGRESS TODAY, HAVE YOU HAD

26
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,404
ENOUGH?

27
00:01:53,404 --> 00:01:57,450
AFTER FIVE YEARS OF CODDLING
THIS PRESIDENT'S FASCIST

28
00:01:57,450 --> 00:02:02,121
RHETORIC, GUESS WHOSE FOLLOWERS
WANT TO BURN DOWN THE REICHSTAG.

29
00:02:02,121 --> 00:02:06,793
BECAUSE TODAY, THE U.S. CAPITOL
WAS OVERRUN FOR THE FIRST TIME

30
00:02:06,793 --> 00:02:09,629
SINCE 1814, AND A WOMAN DIED.

31
00:02:09,629 --> 00:02:12,465
WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING?

32
00:02:12,465 --> 00:02:12,966
EVERYONE?

33
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:14,634
EVEN DUMMIES LIKE ME.

34
00:02:14,634 --> 00:02:19,013
THIS IS THE MOST SHOCKING, MOST
TRAGIC, LEAST-SURPRISING THING

35
00:02:19,013 --> 00:02:20,932
I'VE EVER SEEN.

36
00:02:20,932 --> 00:02:25,979
FOR YEARS NOW, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
TELLING YOU COWARDS THAT IF YOU

37
00:02:25,979 --> 00:02:29,774
LET THE PRESIDENT LIE ABOUT OUR
DEMOCRACY OVER AND OVER AND THEN

38
00:02:29,774 --> 00:02:33,361
JOIN HIM IN THAT LIE AND SAY
HE'S RIGHT WHEN YOU KNOW FOR A

39
00:02:33,361 --> 00:02:36,656
FACT THAT HE IS NOT, THERE WILL
BE A TERRIBLE PRICE TO PAY.

40
00:02:36,656 --> 00:02:40,451
BUT YOU JUST NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D
HAVE TO PAY IT, TOO.

41
00:02:40,451 --> 00:02:44,664
I REALLY DO HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING
THOSE TAX CUTS.

42
00:02:44,664 --> 00:02:49,252
AND THOSE JUDGES, BECAUSE THOSE
JUDGES ARE REALLY GOING TO BE

43
00:02:49,252 --> 00:02:50,336
WORKING HARD.

44
00:02:50,336 --> 00:02:53,131
THEY'RE GOING TO BE BUSY
THROWING THESE IDIOTS IN JAIL.

45
00:02:53,131 --> 00:02:56,551
AND BY "IDIOTS" I INCLUDE THE
REPUBLICANS WHO LET THIS HAPPEN,

46
00:02:56,551 --> 00:03:01,014
LIKE YOU SENATOR JOSH HAWLEY,
RAISING YOUR STUPID FIST TO THE

47
00:03:01,014 --> 00:03:02,432
MOB OUTSIDE THE CAPITOL.

48
00:03:02,432 --> 00:03:03,683
LOOK AT THAT.

49
00:03:03,683 --> 00:03:07,812
IT'S LIKE BLACK POWER BUT THE
OPPOSITE.

50
00:03:07,812 --> 00:03:09,856
THERE REALLY SHOULD BE A NAME
FOR THAT.

51
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:13,026
AND, OBVIOUSLY, HE HAS TO KEEP
HIS FIST CLOSED, BECAUSE IF HE

52
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:15,737
OPENED IT, YOU WOULD SEE ALL THE
BLOOD ON HIS HANDS.

53
00:03:15,737 --> 00:03:17,822
SPEAKING OF WHICH, HOW ABOUT
YOU, FOX NEWS?

54
00:03:17,822 --> 00:03:20,533
YOU THINK MAYBE YEARS OF
PEDALING HIS CONSPIRACY THEORIES

55
00:03:20,533 --> 00:03:22,327
HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS?

56
00:03:22,327 --> 00:03:23,411
OH, BUT COME ON, MAN.

57
00:03:23,411 --> 00:03:26,998
YOU KNOW WE HAVE OUR OPINION
SIDE AND OUR NEWS SIDE.

58
00:03:26,998 --> 00:03:33,379
COME ON, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO
TURN A COIN FOR UNCLE RUPEE,

59
00:03:33,379 --> 00:03:36,382
SELL A FEW LUBRICATED CATHETERS.

60
00:03:36,382 --> 00:03:41,220
LIKE THOSE LUBRICATED CATH TERS
YOU KNOW WHERE YOU CAN STICK

61
00:03:41,220 --> 00:03:43,890
YOUR EXCUSES AND YOU CAN SKIP
THE LUBRICATION.

62
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:46,351
IT'S THE THOUSANDS OF MAGA
PROTESTERS WHO STORMED THE

63
00:03:46,351 --> 00:03:48,061
CAPITOL BUILDING.

64
00:03:48,061 --> 00:03:52,231
IT'S A HORRIFYING DAY THAT WILL
GO DOWN IN U.S. HISTORY, HOWEVER

65
00:03:52,231 --> 00:03:54,067
MUCH LONGER THAT IS.

66
00:03:54,067 --> 00:03:57,111
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO
DESCRIBE THIS...

67
00:03:57,111 --> 00:03:57,862
>> LAW AND ORDER.

68
00:03:57,862 --> 00:03:59,739
>> Stephen: NOPE, THAT'S NOT
IT.

69
00:03:59,739 --> 00:04:00,448
>> AMERICAN CARNAGE.

70
00:04:00,448 --> 00:04:03,910
>> Stephen: THAT'S THE ONE.

71
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:05,370
JOHNNY, TELL THEM WHAT THEY WON.

72
00:04:05,370 --> 00:04:10,041
♪ ♪ ♪
>> A SECOND CIVIL WAR!

73
00:04:10,041 --> 00:04:12,585
AND A BROYHILL DINETTE SET.

74
00:04:12,585 --> 00:04:16,214
YOU'LL BE EATING IN STYLE IN THE
SMOLDERING AFTER-SCAPE.

75
00:04:16,214 --> 00:04:17,423
BACK TO YOU, STEVE!

76
00:04:17,423 --> 00:04:22,095
>> Stephen: YOU SEE, TODAY WAS
THE CONSTITUTIONALLY MANDATED

77
00:04:22,095 --> 00:04:24,973
FINAL STEP BEFORE A NEW
PRESIDENT CAN GET INAUGURATED.

78
00:04:24,973 --> 00:04:28,101
A JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS TO
BASICALLY RUBBER STAMP THE

79
00:04:28,101 --> 00:04:29,227
ELECTORAL VOTES.

80
00:04:29,227 --> 00:04:31,562
EXCEPT THIS TIME, OVER 100
G.O.P. HOUSE MEMBERS AND AT

81
00:04:31,562 --> 00:04:38,069
LEAST 13 G.O.P. SENATORS DECIDED
TO REJECT SOME STATES' ELECTION

82
00:04:38,069 --> 00:04:41,447
RESULTS OVER ALLEGED VOTER
IRREGULARITIES.

83
00:04:41,447 --> 00:04:45,660
THOSE SAME SUPPOSED VOTER
IRREGULARITIES THAT RUDY

84
00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:49,497
GIULIANI FAILED TO PROVE TO A
SINGLE JUDGE, NO MATTER HOW

85
00:04:49,497 --> 00:04:52,041
PASSIONATELY HE FARTED.

86
00:04:52,041 --> 00:04:54,919
WELL, THIS MORNING, AT A MAGA
RALLY RIGHT OUTSIDE THE WHITE

87
00:04:54,919 --> 00:04:59,132
HOUSE, THE PRESIDENT INCITED THE
MOB TO MARCH ON THE CAPITOL

88
00:04:59,132 --> 00:05:00,341
BUILDING.

89
00:05:00,341 --> 00:05:04,220
>> WE'RE GOING TO THE CAPITOL,
AND WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND GIVE

90
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:05,596
THE DEMOCRATS ARE HOPELESS.

91
00:05:05,596 --> 00:05:09,267
THEY'RE NEVER VOTING FOR
ANYTHING, NOT EVEN ONE VOTE.

92
00:05:09,267 --> 00:05:15,398
BUT WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND GIVE
OUR REPUBLICANS, THE WEAK ONES,

93
00:05:15,398 --> 00:05:18,151
BECAUSE THE STRONG ONES DON'T
NEED ANY OF OUR HELP.

94
00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:22,864
WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND GIVE THEM
THE KIND OF PRIDE AND BOLDNESS

95
00:05:22,864 --> 00:05:25,742
THAT THEY NEED TO TAKE BACK OUR
COUNTRY.

96
00:05:25,742 --> 00:05:28,828
SO LET'S WALK DOWN PENNSYLVANIA
AVENUE.

97
00:05:28,828 --> 00:05:30,621
WE'RE GOING TO WALK DOWN, AND
I'LL BE THERE WITH YOU.

98
00:05:30,621 --> 00:05:34,625
WE'RE GOING TO WALK DOWN...

99
00:05:34,625 --> 00:05:38,337
WE'RE GOING TO WALK DOWN ANYONE
YOU WANT, BUT I THINK RIGHT

100
00:05:38,337 --> 00:05:41,424
HERE, WE'RE GOING TO WALK DOWN
TO THE CAPITOL.

101
00:05:41,424 --> 00:05:43,509
>> Stephen: FOR THE RECORD, IF
I SAID THAT, I WOULD BE ARRESTED

102
00:05:43,509 --> 00:05:45,928
FOR INCITING A RIOT.

103
00:05:45,928 --> 00:05:50,892
BUT OF COURSE YOU CAN'T ARREST
THE PRESIDENT FOR 15 MORE DAYS.

104
00:05:50,892 --> 00:05:54,562
AND HIS FOLLOWERS DID WHAT HE
TOLD THEM TO DO: BEHAVE IN A WAY

105
00:05:54,562 --> 00:05:57,523
THAT'S-- WHAT'S THE WORD?

106
00:05:57,523 --> 00:05:58,566
DEPLORABLE.

107
00:05:58,566 --> 00:06:03,196
THEY MARCHED DOWN PENNSYLVANIA
AVENUE AND STORMED THE

108
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:03,613
BARRICADES.

109
00:06:03,613 --> 00:06:05,239
LOOK AT THAT.

110
00:06:05,239 --> 00:06:08,159
YOU STILL THINK WALLS WORK?

111
00:06:08,159 --> 00:06:11,037
FRIGHTENED HILL STAFFERS WERE
TOLD TO EVACUATE THE MADISON

112
00:06:11,037 --> 00:06:14,540
BUILDING, AS WELL AS THE CANON
HOUSE OFFICE BUILDING WITH

113
00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:17,543
CAPITOL POLICE GOING DOOR BY
DOOR, RUNNING DOWN THE HALLWAYS.

114
00:06:17,543 --> 00:06:21,047
THAT'S A VERY UPSETTING PAUL
REVERE REMIX.

115
00:06:21,047 --> 00:06:22,548
"THE RED HATS ARE COMING!

116
00:06:22,548 --> 00:06:29,889
THE RED HATS ARE COMING!"
( SIGHS )

117
00:06:29,889 --> 00:06:34,060
STAFFERS WERE TOLD TO GO TO
UNDERGROUND TUNNELS AND TAKE

118
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:36,729
ESCAPE HOODS TO PROTECT THEM
FROM INHAILING ANYTHING

119
00:06:36,729 --> 00:06:37,480
DANGEROUS.

120
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,731
WELL, THAT'S A BIT OF A
SURPRISE.

121
00:06:38,731 --> 00:06:40,691
FROM THE LOOK OF THOSE RIOTERS,
I WOULD HAVE GUESSED THEY WERE

122
00:06:40,691 --> 00:06:42,568
THE ONES WEARING HOODZ.

123
00:06:42,568 --> 00:06:45,696
AFTER THE MOB SWARMED INSIDE THE
BUILDING, CAPITOL POLICE

124
00:06:45,696 --> 00:06:49,742
RELEASED TEAR GAS INTO THE
ROTUNDA.

125
00:06:49,742 --> 00:06:51,369
LITTLE LATE, FELLAS.

126
00:06:51,369 --> 00:06:54,539
THAT'S LIKE CLOSING THE BARN
DOOR AFTER THE COW HAS TRIED TO

127
00:06:54,539 --> 00:06:56,457
VIOLENTLY OVERTHROW THE FARM.

128
00:06:56,457 --> 00:07:01,295
A MOO-DE' TA, IF YOU WILL.

129
00:07:01,295 --> 00:07:03,214
AND I HOPE YOU WON'T.

130
00:07:03,214 --> 00:07:06,759
THEN THESE IDIOTS BROKE INTO THE
SENATE CHAMBER, INCLUDING THIS

131
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:08,219
GUY, WHO STOOD AT THE PODIUM.

132
00:07:08,219 --> 00:07:10,763
REMEMBER THIS MORNING THE NEWS
WAS ALL SAYING DEMOCRATS NOW

133
00:07:10,763 --> 00:07:12,431
CONTROL THE SENATE?

134
00:07:12,431 --> 00:07:15,935
I'M GOING TO SAY THAT REPORT WAS
A LITTLE PREMATURE.

135
00:07:15,935 --> 00:07:17,478
"THE LATE SHOW"" IS READY TO
PROJECT SENATE CONTROL HAS

136
00:07:17,478 --> 00:07:21,649
PASSED TO MAJORITY LEADER
SHIRTLESS FREAK IN A VIKING HAT.

137
00:07:21,649 --> 00:07:27,947
NOW, AGAIN, CONGRESS WAS IN A
JOINT SESSION TO RECEIVE THE

138
00:07:27,947 --> 00:07:30,408
ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES,
CONFIRMING THAT JOSEPH R. BIDEN

139
00:07:30,408 --> 00:07:31,617
WOULD BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF
THESE UNITED STATES.

140
00:07:31,617 --> 00:07:36,372
BUT ALL OF THIS
REPUBLICAN-GENERATED CHAOS LED

141
00:07:36,372 --> 00:07:37,748
TO AN EVACUATION OF THE
CHAMBERS.

142
00:07:37,748 --> 00:07:42,503
AND LEGISLATORS WERE HUSTLED TO
SECURE LOCATIONS TO SHELTER IN

143
00:07:42,503 --> 00:07:43,754
PLACE.

144
00:07:43,754 --> 00:07:48,426
A QUESTION FOR THE REPUBLICAN
SENATORS WHO HELPED FOMENT THIS

145
00:07:48,426 --> 00:07:49,969
INSURRECTION: WHY DID YOU RUN
AWAY?

146
00:07:49,969 --> 00:07:52,430
I MEAN, THESE ARE YOUR PEEPS.

147
00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:53,639
THEY LOVE YOU.

148
00:07:53,639 --> 00:07:57,143
WHY DIDN'T YOU HANG OUT WITH
YOUR BUDDIES, MARSHA BLACKBURN,

149
00:07:57,143 --> 00:08:02,815
KELLY LOEFFLER, RON JOHNSON,
JOHN "NOT THAT KENNEDY" KENNEDY.

150
00:08:02,815 --> 00:08:06,277
YOU CAN RUN ALL YOU WANT FOR THE
REST OF YOUR LIVES BUT YOU CAN

151
00:08:06,277 --> 00:08:08,654
NEVER ESCAPE THE RESPONSIBILITY
OF WHAT YOU BROUGHT UPON

152
00:08:08,654 --> 00:08:09,697
AMERICAN DEMOCRACY TODAY.

153
00:08:09,697 --> 00:08:12,742
AND THIS WAS NEVER SOME SORT OF
PEACEFUL PROTEST.

154
00:08:12,742 --> 00:08:17,622
THIS WAS CHARLOTTESVILLE COME
HOME TO ROOST ON CAPITOL HILL.

155
00:08:17,622 --> 00:08:19,665
LOOK AT THESE THUGS.

156
00:08:19,665 --> 00:08:26,505
A GUY IN A QANON T-SHIRT CHASING
A CAPITOL SECURITY OFFICER UP

157
00:08:26,505 --> 00:08:27,131
FLIGHT AFTER FLIGHT OF STAIRS.

158
00:08:27,131 --> 00:08:29,008
NOTHING TO SEE HERE, FOLKS.

159
00:08:29,008 --> 00:08:32,845
JUST A CROWD OF ANGRY WHITE
PEOPLE CHASING A BLACK MAN.

160
00:08:32,845 --> 00:08:36,140
REMUND ME: ARE WE GREAT AGAIN
YET?

161
00:08:36,140 --> 00:08:39,227
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FINALLY
RESPONDED WITH A STRONG SHOW OF

162
00:08:39,227 --> 00:08:42,355
FORCE-- I'M SORRY, NO, JIM,
THAT'S FEDERAL POLICE TEAR

163
00:08:42,355 --> 00:08:46,025
GASSING PEACEFUL PROTESTERS SO
THAT THE PRESIDENT COULD DO A

164
00:08:46,025 --> 00:08:46,943
PHOTO OP.

165
00:08:46,943 --> 00:08:49,153
JIM, DO WE HAVE THE ACTUAL
RESPONSE, A PHOTO?

166
00:08:49,153 --> 00:08:50,154
THERE YOU GO.

167
00:08:50,154 --> 00:08:52,156
NOPE, I'M SORRY.

168
00:08:52,156 --> 00:08:54,659
NO, THAT'S DURING THE B.L.M.

169
00:08:54,659 --> 00:08:56,702
PROTESTS WHERE TROOPS WERE
GUARDING A STATUE OF LINCOLN

170
00:08:56,702 --> 00:08:58,829
FROM BLACK PEOPLE.

171
00:08:58,829 --> 00:09:01,666
NOW, IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING
WHAT KIND OF AMERICANS WOULD TRY

172
00:09:01,666 --> 00:09:05,711
TO VIOLENTLY OVERTHROW THE
GOVERNMENT, YOU GUESS IT.

173
00:09:05,711 --> 00:09:06,921
IT'S THIS KIND.

174
00:09:06,921 --> 00:09:08,756
IS IT JUST ME OR DOES THAT THING
ALWAYS SEEM TO SHOW UP AT ONLY

175
00:09:08,756 --> 00:09:10,049
THE WORST EVENTS.

176
00:09:10,049 --> 00:09:15,388
YOU NEVER READ, "THE CONFEDERATE
FLAG WAS SEEN TODAY WAVING OVER

177
00:09:15,388 --> 00:09:16,681
FREE YOGA IN THE PARK.

178
00:09:16,681 --> 00:09:20,059
ONE OF THESE DOMESTIC TERRORISTS
EVEN BROKE INTO SPEAKER PELOSI'S

179
00:09:20,059 --> 00:09:23,062
OFFICE AND PUT HIS FEET UP ON
HER DESK.

180
00:09:23,062 --> 00:09:26,732
ANOTHER ONE TOOK TO THE SENATE
DAIS AND REPORTEDLY IDEAL,

181
00:09:26,732 --> 00:09:29,735
"TRUMP WON THAT ELECTION!"
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I PRESENT

182
00:09:29,735 --> 00:09:33,739
THE FRONT-RUNNERS FOR THE 2024
REPUBLICAN NOMINATION.

183
00:09:33,739 --> 00:09:38,619
OVER AT THE HOUSE CHAMBER, THERE
WAS AN ARMED STANDOFF BETWEEN

184
00:09:38,619 --> 00:09:41,789
POLICE AND RIOTERS AT THE
CHAMBER DOOR.

185
00:09:41,789 --> 00:09:44,583
WELL, THANK GOODNESS IT WAS JUST
A WHITE PERSON WITH A GUN OUT

186
00:09:44,583 --> 00:09:45,751
THERE.

187
00:09:45,751 --> 00:09:48,254
IF IT WERE A BLACK GUY WITH A
CAN OF ICED TEA, IT MIGHT HAVE

188
00:09:48,254 --> 00:09:49,463
ESCALATED.

189
00:09:49,463 --> 00:09:52,925
NOW, AN HOUR AND A HALF AFTER
THE CAPITOL HAD BEEN STORMED,

190
00:09:52,925 --> 00:09:58,347
PRESIDENT JEFFERSON DU FUS
FINALLY WEIGHED IN TWEETING, "I

191
00:09:58,347 --> 00:10:02,768
AM ASKING FOR EVERYONE AT THE
U.S. CAPITOL TO REMAIN

192
00:10:02,768 --> 00:10:03,352
PEACEFUL."

193
00:10:03,352 --> 00:10:03,853
NOTE THE WORD "REMAIN."

194
00:10:03,853 --> 00:10:06,772
HE DIDN'T SAY LEAVE.

195
00:10:06,772 --> 00:10:09,775
HE SAID STAY THERE AND REMAIN
PEACEFUL.

196
00:10:09,775 --> 00:10:11,819
PEACEFUL LIKE THIS?

197
00:10:19,327 --> 00:10:24,123
I AM CALLING FOR ALL OF THE
TOOTHPASTE TO QUIETLY RETURN TO

198
00:10:24,123 --> 00:10:27,793
THE TUBE PEACEFULLY.

199
00:10:27,793 --> 00:10:29,795
WHILE HE WHO STARTED THIS COULD
NOT BRING HIMSELF TO STOP IT, WE

200
00:10:29,795 --> 00:10:32,923
HEARD A VERY DIFFERENT MESSAGE
FROM THE PRESIDENT-ELECT WHO

201
00:10:32,923 --> 00:10:36,010
ISSUED A CHALLENGE TO THE
TRAITOR IN CHIEF.

202
00:10:36,010 --> 00:10:46,103
>> I CALL ON PRESIDENT TRUMP TO
GO ON NATIONAL TELEVISION NOW TO

203
00:10:46,103 --> 00:10:51,484
FULFILL HIS OATH AND DEFEND THE
CONSTITUTION AND DEMAND AN END

204
00:10:51,484 --> 00:10:52,568
TO THIS SIEGE.

205
00:10:52,568 --> 00:10:54,862
>> Stephen: THAT'S AN
INTERESTING PLOI-- LURING THE

206
00:10:54,862 --> 00:10:58,991
PRESIDENT OUT OF HIDING WITH THE
PROMISE OF NATIONAL TV IS LIKE

207
00:10:58,991 --> 00:11:01,660
PUTTING A LITTLE PIECE OF CHEESE
IN A TRAP FOR A RAT.

208
00:11:01,660 --> 00:11:03,746
ALTHOUGH, YOU COULD PROBABLY
CATCH THE PRESIDENT WITH CHEESE,

209
00:11:03,746 --> 00:11:05,831
TOO.

210
00:11:05,831 --> 00:11:10,461
JUST A FEW MOMENTS AFTER BIDEN
STEPPED OFFSTAGE, THE

211
00:11:10,461 --> 00:11:12,338
VIOLENCE-STOKER IN THE WHITE
HOUSE DID RELEASE A VIDEO WHERE

212
00:11:12,338 --> 00:11:16,842
HE WAS SUPPOSED TO CALM THINGS
DOWN BUT INSTEAD, HE...

213
00:11:16,842 --> 00:11:21,013
REITERATED HIS FALSE CLAIM THAT
THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN FROM HIM

214
00:11:21,013 --> 00:11:25,017
SEVERAL TIMES, AND ENDED BY
SAYING THIS TO THE THE RIOTERS:

215
00:11:25,017 --> 00:11:26,894
>> SO GO HOME.

216
00:11:26,894 --> 00:11:29,397
WE LOVE YOU.

217
00:11:29,397 --> 00:11:30,689
YOU'RE VERY SPECIAL.

218
00:11:30,689 --> 00:11:34,527
>> Stephen: BOY, THAT IS A
REALLY WEIRD THING TO SAY TO

219
00:11:34,527 --> 00:11:35,361
RIOTERS.

220
00:11:35,361 --> 00:11:37,738
AND I'M GUESSING TOUGH FOR ERIC
TO HEAR.

221
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:38,322
"DAD!

222
00:11:38,322 --> 00:11:41,242
I'M SORRY I DIDN'T RIOT!

223
00:11:41,242 --> 00:11:44,870
LOVE ME, TOO!

224
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:46,997
I'M SPECIAL."

225
00:11:46,997 --> 00:11:50,876
HOT TIP FOR THE RIOTERS BY THE
WAY: I KNOW YOU GUYS DON'T LIKE

226
00:11:50,876 --> 00:11:54,338
TO BE TOLD TO WEAR MASKS, BUT
THOSE MASKS REALLY WOULD HAVE

227
00:11:54,338 --> 00:11:57,842
COME IN HANDY WHEN YOU'RE
GETTING YOUR PICTURE TAKEN WHILE

228
00:11:57,842 --> 00:12:00,594
YOU'RE BREAKING THE LAW.

229
00:12:00,594 --> 00:12:05,391
AND YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE YOU WERE
DOING ALL OF THIS SUPPOSEDLY TO

230
00:12:05,391 --> 00:12:06,225
HELP?

231
00:12:06,225 --> 00:12:08,060
WELL, THOSE FOLKS ARE OUT OF
POWER NOW.

232
00:12:08,060 --> 00:12:10,229
THEY CAN'T PROTECT YOU.

233
00:12:10,229 --> 00:12:13,023
AS A MATTER OF FACT, THEY HID IN
THE BASEMENT FROM YOU, AND THEY

234
00:12:13,023 --> 00:12:16,110
WILL TURN ON YOU IN A SECOND
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IN NOTHING

235
00:12:16,110 --> 00:12:18,404
BUT THEMSELVES.

236
00:12:18,404 --> 00:12:21,699
SPEAKING OF BELIEVING IN
NOTHING, A REMINDER THAT THE

237
00:12:21,699 --> 00:12:24,201
PRESIDENT SAID THIS TO YOU:
>> WE'RE GOING TO WALK DOWN--

238
00:12:24,201 --> 00:12:27,037
AND I'LL BE THERE WITH YOU--
WE'RE GOING TO WALK DOWN...

239
00:12:27,037 --> 00:12:30,875
( CHEERING )
WE'RE GOING TO WALK DOWN ANYONE

240
00:12:30,875 --> 00:12:33,085
YOU WANT, BUT I THINK RIGHT
HERE.

241
00:12:33,085 --> 00:12:35,421
WE'RE GOING TO WALK DOWN TO THE
CAPITOL.

242
00:12:35,421 --> 00:12:40,301
>> Stephen: HE KEPT SAYING,
"WE," BUT HE DIDN'T GO WITH YOU.

243
00:12:40,301 --> 00:12:42,261
HE DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT
YOU.

244
00:12:42,261 --> 00:12:45,014
HE WENT HOME TO WATCH IT ON TV.

245
00:12:45,014 --> 00:12:46,599
YOU'RE JUST ENTERTAINMENT FOR
HIM.

246
00:12:46,599 --> 00:12:51,937
AND, OF COURSE, A STEADY STREAM
OF MERCHANDISE SALES.

247
00:12:51,937 --> 00:12:52,688
ANYWAY...

248
00:12:52,688 --> 00:12:55,316
THIS ISN'T HOW ANY OF THIS
WORKS.

249
00:12:55,316 --> 00:12:58,944
WE DON'T DECIDE ELECTIONS ON
WHO'S MOST UPSET.

250
00:12:58,944 --> 00:13:05,242
WE DECIDE THEM BY WHO GETS THE
MOST VOTES, PORTIONED BY STATE

251
00:13:05,242 --> 00:13:07,870
THROUGH A WEIRD ELECTORAL
COLLEGE THAT WAS INSTITUTED TO

252
00:13:07,870 --> 00:13:09,914
MAINTAIN THE POLITICAL POWER OF
SLAVE STATES.

253
00:13:09,914 --> 00:13:11,165
IT'S A LONG STORY.

254
00:13:11,165 --> 00:13:16,086
BUT THE POINT IS, THE PERSON WHO
SCREAMS THE LOUDEST DOESN'T GET

255
00:13:16,086 --> 00:13:17,254
THEIR WAY.

256
00:13:17,254 --> 00:13:19,006
THAT ONLY WORKS ON FAMILY ROAD
TRIPS AND YOU END UP HAVING

257
00:13:19,006 --> 00:13:23,093
AND, SADLY, WE SHOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED BY ANY OF THIS.

258
00:13:23,093 --> 00:13:26,597
THESE PEOPLE WHO STORMED THE
CAPITOL TODAY HAVE EAGERLY

259
00:13:26,597 --> 00:13:30,476
SWALLOWED DIVISIVE BULLCRAP AT
THE PRESIDENT'S RALLIES FOR FIVE

260
00:13:30,476 --> 00:13:31,685
YEARS.

261
00:13:31,685 --> 00:13:33,854
THEY NOW LIVE IN AN ALTERNATE
UNIVERSE THAT IS NOW COLLAPSING

262
00:13:33,854 --> 00:13:35,105
IN ON ITSELF.

263
00:13:35,105 --> 00:13:40,778
IT'S-- IT'S LIKE A BLACK HOLE OF
WHITENESS.

264
00:13:40,778 --> 00:13:44,949
NOW, I'VE SAID BEFORE, VIOLENCE
IS THE LAST REFUGE OF THE

265
00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:46,158
INCOMPETENT.

266
00:13:46,158 --> 00:13:49,828
AND IF THE LAST FOUR YEARS HAS
TAUGHT US ANYTHING, IT'S THAT

267
00:13:49,828 --> 00:13:52,164
THERE ARE A LOT OF INCOMPETENT
FOLKS IN OUR LEADERSHIP.

268
00:13:52,164 --> 00:13:56,335
BUT I WOULD INVITE ALL OF THESE
DISGRUNTLED AMERICANS TO TAKE A

269
00:13:56,335 --> 00:13:59,171
PAGE OUT OF STACEY ABRAMS' BOOK.

270
00:13:59,171 --> 00:14:02,091
DON'T ENDANGER OUR COUNTRY'S
GREATEST LEGACY, THE PEACEFUL

271
00:14:02,091 --> 00:14:04,134
TRANSFER OF POWER JUST BECAUSE
YOUR GUY LOST.

272
00:14:04,134 --> 00:14:06,011
GET OUT THERE AND FOCUS ON
WINNING THE NEXT ROUND.

273
00:14:06,011 --> 00:14:08,681
COME ON, REPUBLICANS.

274
00:14:08,681 --> 00:14:11,892
DON'T GO UP TO CAPITOL HILL FOR
A GOVERNMENT HANDOUT.

275
00:14:11,892 --> 00:14:15,521
PULL YOURSELVES UP BY YOUR OWN
BOOTSTRAPS AND JUST WORK A

276
00:14:15,521 --> 00:14:17,147
LITTLE HARDER.

277
00:14:17,147 --> 00:14:23,571
AND IN 2022, WHEN ALL OF THOSE
REPUBLICANS WHO-- MAKE NO

278
00:14:23,571 --> 00:14:27,533
MISTAKE-- ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR
WHAT HAPPENED TODAY AND ARE

279
00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:31,036
RUNNING FOR REELECTION, LET'S
REMEMBER THEM FOR WHO THEY

280
00:14:31,036 --> 00:14:34,915
SHOWED THEMSELVES TO BE TODAY--
CYNICAL COWARDS WHO BELIEVE THE

281
00:14:34,915 --> 00:14:39,211
VOTERS SHOULD NOT GET TO CHOOSE
WHO GOVERNS THIS COUNTRY.

282
00:14:39,211 --> 00:14:44,091
LET'S HOPE THE VOTERS PROVE THEM
ALL WRONG.

283
00:14:44,091 --> 00:14:46,885
WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW FOR YOU
TONIGHT.

284
00:14:46,885 --> 00:14:51,056
I'LL BE TALKING TO SENATOR AMY
KLOBUCHAR AND REPUBLICAN

285
00:14:51,056 --> 00:14:52,057
CONGRESSMAN ADAM KINZINGER.

286

ADD LIVE "LATE SHOW,""
EVERYBODY.

290
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:23,213
JOINING ME NOW IS THE SENIOR
SENATOR FROM THE STATE OF

291
00:15:23,213 --> 00:15:27,343
MINNESOTA AND A FORMER
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE HERSELF,

292
00:15:27,343 --> 00:15:29,428
PLEASE WELCOME SENATOR AMY
KLOBUCHAR.

293
00:15:29,428 --> 00:15:32,973
SENATOR, THANK YOU FOR BEING
HERE ON SUCH A TROUBLING DAY.

294
00:15:32,973 --> 00:15:35,100
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU TAKING
THE TIME.

295
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:38,937
I HOPE THAT YOU AND YOUR STAFF
ARE FINE.

296
00:15:38,937 --> 00:15:39,396
IS EVERYONE OKAY?

297
00:15:39,396 --> 00:15:40,606
>> THEY'RE FINE.

298
00:15:40,606 --> 00:15:44,693
I'M JUST MOSTLY WORRIED ABOUT
OUR COUNTRY AND WHAT THEY SAW

299
00:15:44,693 --> 00:15:47,780
TODAY, AND THAT'S WHAT WAS I
THINK ON EVERYONE'S MIND.

300
00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:52,117
THAT'S WHY IT WAS SO IMPORTANT
THAT AFTER THIS ANGRY MOB

301
00:15:52,117 --> 00:15:54,078
INVADED THE CAPITOL-- BY THE
WAY, I'M SITTING IN THE

302
00:15:54,078 --> 00:15:55,287
PRESIDENT'S ROOM.

303
00:15:55,287 --> 00:15:59,333
WHERE IN THE PAST PRESIDENTS
WOULD HAVE CORDIAL MEETINGS WITH

304
00:15:59,333 --> 00:16:03,295
LEADERS OF CONGRESS, WHERE A NEW
PRESIDENT WOULD SIGN THE

305
00:16:03,295 --> 00:16:05,047
DOCUMENTS WHEN HE GOT SWORN IN.

306
00:16:05,047 --> 00:16:09,468
AND TO THINK THAT THIS PRESIDENT
INCITED THIS MOB TO COME IN THIS

307
00:16:09,468 --> 00:16:10,636
BUILDING.

308
00:16:10,636 --> 00:16:13,972
AND I'M LITERALLY SITTING A FEW
YARDS AWAY FROM WHERE THEY

309
00:16:13,972 --> 00:16:15,182
STORMED INTO THE CAPITOL.

310
00:16:15,182 --> 00:16:18,185
AND THE IMPORTANT THING FOR US
TONIGHT, FOR BOTH ACTUALLY

311
00:16:18,185 --> 00:16:22,648
DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN
LEADERS, WAS THAT WE RETURNED TO

312
00:16:22,648 --> 00:16:24,983
OUR DESKS, AND WE GET THE JOB
DONE.

313
00:16:24,983 --> 00:16:32,366
AND WE JUST VOTED, JUST VOTED 93
VOTES AGAINST THE OBJECTIONS TO

314
00:16:32,366 --> 00:16:35,869
THE CERTIFIED STATE ELECTION IN
ARIZONA, WHICH IS WHAT

315
00:16:35,869 --> 00:16:39,832
INSTIGATED ALL OF THIS, WITH 93
SENATORS DECLARING JOE BIDEN WON

316
00:16:39,832 --> 00:16:41,041
THAT ELECTION.

317
00:16:41,041 --> 00:16:45,671
>> Stephen: I-- I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THAT MOMENT WAS THE LAST

318
00:16:45,671 --> 00:16:50,050
TIME I SAW YOU ON CAMERA BEFORE
ANY OF THIS HAPPENED WAS YOU

319
00:16:50,050 --> 00:16:54,012
READING THE...

320
00:16:54,012 --> 00:16:57,182
COMPLAINT ABOUT THE ARIZONA
ELECTION.

321
00:16:57,182 --> 00:17:02,229
AND THEN THE CHAMBERS WENT TO
THEIR SEPARATE HOUSES, THE

322
00:17:02,229 --> 00:17:04,314
SENATE AND THE HOUSE.

323
00:17:04,314 --> 00:17:09,361
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE ACTUAL
BREACHING OF THE CAPITOL

324
00:17:09,361 --> 00:17:10,612
HAPPENED?

325
00:17:10,612 --> 00:17:12,823
AND CAN YOU WALK ME THROUGH HOW
YOU KNEW THAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED

326
00:17:12,823 --> 00:17:13,782
TO LEAVE?

327
00:17:13,782 --> 00:17:17,161
HOW WERE ALL OF YOU INFORMED
WHAT WAS GOING ON?

328
00:17:17,161 --> 00:17:23,417
>> SO I'M THE HIGHEST RANKING
DEMOCRAT ON THE RULES COMMITTEE,

329
00:17:23,417 --> 00:17:28,881
SO I HAD ACTUALLY JUST SPOKEN
AND MADE MY CASE AGAINST SENATOR

330
00:17:28,881 --> 00:17:29,840
CRUZ, TAKING HIM ON.

331
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,259
HE HAD SPOKEN, ONE OR TWO MORE
SENATORS SPOKE.

332
00:17:32,259 --> 00:17:36,889
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IN THE
MIDDLE OF SENATOR LANGFORD'S

333
00:17:36,889 --> 00:17:39,725
TEACH THEY SAID THE CAPITOL HAD
BEEN BREACHED AND WE NEEDED TO

334
00:17:39,725 --> 00:17:40,893
STAY IN PLACE.

335
00:17:40,893 --> 00:17:44,021
SO WE WAITED IN THE SENATE
CHAMBER FOR A WHILE.

336
00:17:44,021 --> 00:17:46,565
PEOPLE WERE MILLING AROUND.

337
00:17:46,565 --> 00:17:47,775
PEOPLE WERE FOLLOWING THE NEWS.

338
00:17:47,775 --> 00:17:50,277
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN,
BELIEVING WE WERE SAFE IN THE

339
00:17:50,277 --> 00:17:54,573
SENATE CHAMBER, ALL OF A SUDDEN
THEY ANNOUNCED THAT WE WEREN'T,

340
00:17:54,573 --> 00:17:57,242
AND WE WERE QUICKLY TAKEN TO
ANOTHER ROOM IN THE OFFICE

341
00:17:57,242 --> 00:18:03,040
COMPLEX WHERE WE ACTUALLY SAT
TOGETHER FOR THE ENTIRE DAY,

342
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,336
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS AND
OUR STAFF, AS WE AWAITED THE

343
00:18:07,336 --> 00:18:09,588
CLEARING OF THE SENATE CHAMBER.

344
00:18:09,588 --> 00:18:12,758
AND THERE WAS A LOT OF, I WILL
TELL YOU, MAJOR DISCUSSIONS

345
00:18:12,758 --> 00:18:14,259
BETWEEN PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT HAS
BEEN GOING ON AND WHAT THIS

346
00:18:14,259 --> 00:18:15,260
PRESIDENT HAS DONE.

347
00:18:15,260 --> 00:18:18,847
>> Stephen: WERE YOU WATCHING
THIS UNFOLD ON TV?

348
00:18:18,847 --> 00:18:22,601
WERE YOU SEEING THE PEOPLE GOING
INTO YOUR CHAMBER, SEEING THE

349
00:18:22,601 --> 00:18:25,103
PEOPLE-- SOMEONE STANDING UP
THERE ACTUALLY AT THE PRESIDENT

350
00:18:25,103 --> 00:18:28,774
OF THE SENATE'S SEAT, PEOPLE
WITH THEIR FEET UP ON NANCY

351
00:18:28,774 --> 00:18:30,025
PELOSI'S DESK?

352
00:18:30,025 --> 00:18:35,322
WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND
AND YOUR HEART AS YOU SAW THIS--

353
00:18:35,322 --> 00:18:36,573
THIS MOB RUNNING RAMPANT?

354
00:18:36,573 --> 00:18:41,286
>> I ACTUALLY ASKED THAT WE TURN
THE TVs ON IN THE ROOM THAT WE

355
00:18:41,286 --> 00:18:43,914
WERE IN, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO REALIZE

356
00:18:43,914 --> 00:18:47,584
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, ESPECIALLY
FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT HAVE GONE

357
00:18:47,584 --> 00:18:48,794
ALONG WITH THIS PRESIDENT.

358
00:18:48,794 --> 00:18:53,924
AND WHAT YOU FEEL WHEN YOU SEE
THAT IS YOU THINK HE HAS INCITED

359
00:18:53,924 --> 00:18:55,134
THIS.

360
00:18:55,134 --> 00:18:56,343
THIS ISN'T JUST SOME TWEET HE
SENDS OUT IN THE MORNING FOR FUN

361
00:18:56,343 --> 00:19:00,848
THAT'S A JOKE "OH, YOU DON'T
BELIEVE HIM," THAT SOME PEOPLE

362
00:19:00,848 --> 00:19:02,015
SAY.

363
00:19:02,015 --> 00:19:05,769
HE IS LITERALLY TELLING HIS
PEOPLE TO MARCH DOWN THE MALL,

364
00:19:05,769 --> 00:19:09,273
TO GO TO THE CAPITOL, AND HE
URGED THEM ON.

365
00:19:09,273 --> 00:19:13,819
>> Stephen: TELL ME MORE ABOUT
THE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN THE

366
00:19:13,819 --> 00:19:16,780
SENATORS AND THE PEOPLE IN THEIR
OWN OFFICES.

367
00:19:16,780 --> 00:19:19,324
WHAT WERE YOU SAYING TO EACH
OTHER ABOUT THAT MOMENT?

368
00:19:19,324 --> 00:19:24,496
>> WELL, I THINK ALL OF US
CHERISH THIS DEMOCRACY, AND

369
00:19:24,496 --> 00:19:27,791
THERE WERE A LOT OF HEARTFELT
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT "ARE YOU

370
00:19:27,791 --> 00:19:35,841
GOING TO CONTINUE THIS QUEST TO
OBJECT TO THE DULY ELECTED

371
00:19:35,841 --> 00:19:39,344
ELECTORS THAT CAME OUT OF
STATE-CERTIFIED ELECTIONS, WHERE

372
00:19:39,344 --> 00:19:43,473
OVER 80 JUDGES HAVE LITERALLY
SAID, 'NO, THESE CLAIMS ARE

373
00:19:43,473 --> 00:19:43,932
BASELESS.

374
00:19:43,932 --> 00:19:45,017
THEY'RE RECKLESS.

375
00:19:45,017 --> 00:19:48,228
THEY'RE NOT BASED ON THE
CONSTITUTION' SO WHY ARE YOU

376
00:19:48,228 --> 00:19:51,732
FOLLOWING ALONG?"
IT'S MY HOPE A NUMBER OF THOSE

377
00:19:51,732 --> 00:19:53,358
SENATORS ACTUALLY CHANGED THEIR
VOTE.

378
00:19:53,358 --> 00:19:56,361
AND MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE THEY FELT
VIOLATED.

379
00:19:56,361 --> 00:19:57,696
OUR DEMOCRACY WAS VIOLATED.

380
00:19:57,696 --> 00:20:00,490
THOSE PEOPLE WERE SITTING IN OUR
CHAIRS, WHEN THEY WERE STANDING

381
00:20:00,490 --> 00:20:04,202
AT THE DAIS OF THE U.S. SENATE
WHERE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE

382
00:20:04,202 --> 00:20:05,037
CONDUCTING THE NATION'S
BUSINESS.

383
00:20:05,037 --> 00:20:06,371
BUT A NUMBER OF THEM CHANGED
THEIR VOTE.

384
00:20:06,371 --> 00:20:09,750
SO THOSE WERE THE KINDS OF
DISCUSSIONS WE WERE HAVING.

385
00:20:09,750 --> 00:20:12,419
>> Stephen: DOES IT UPSET YOU
AT ALL THAT THEY DIDN'T CHANGE

386
00:20:12,419 --> 00:20:16,256
THEIR VOTES UNTIL THE CHICKENS
CAME HOME TO ROOST IN THEIR OWN

387
00:20:16,256 --> 00:20:20,177
HOME, EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW THAT
THEY WERE STIRRING UP TROUBLE

388
00:20:20,177 --> 00:20:22,763
EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY
BY PROMULGATING THIS LIE?

389
00:20:22,763 --> 00:20:23,972
>> OF COURSE IT DOES.

390
00:20:23,972 --> 00:20:27,434
BUT I FIGURED MY JOB TODAY WAS
TO TRY TO BRING AS MANY PEOPLE

391
00:20:27,434 --> 00:20:32,481
WITH ME AND WITH OUR SIDE AS WE
COULD AND TO DO IT IN A WAY THAT

392
00:20:32,481 --> 00:20:33,607
WOULD GIVE THEM THAT SPACE.

393
00:20:33,607 --> 00:20:38,070
AND THE REASON I DID IT IS
BECAUSE-- I MADE THIS CASE TO

394
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:41,365
OUR CAUCUS-- I WANT JOE AND
KAMALA TO COME IN WITH

395
00:20:41,365 --> 00:20:42,407
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.

396
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:48,246
I WANT TO LEAVE WHAT JOE BIDEN
CALLED THE GRIM ERA OF

397
00:20:48,246 --> 00:20:50,123
DEMONIZATION BEHIND US AND
ACTUALLY GET THINGS DONE.

398
00:20:50,123 --> 00:20:52,250
WE HAVE MOUNTING BODY BAGS IN
THIS COUNTRY.

399
00:20:52,250 --> 00:20:55,087
WE HAVE PEOPLE WITH EMPTY CHAIRS
AT THE TABLE.

400
00:20:55,087 --> 00:20:56,755
WE'VE GOT KIDS THAT AREN'T GOING
TO SCHOOL.

401
00:20:56,755 --> 00:20:58,215
WE'VE GOT PEOPLE OUT OF WORK.

402
00:20:58,215 --> 00:21:01,051
WE'VE GOT PEOPLE THAT HAVEN'T
GOTTEN A VACCINE BECAUSE THIS

403
00:21:01,051 --> 00:21:02,761
PRESIDENT HAS FAILED TO
DISTRIBUTE IT.

404
00:21:02,761 --> 00:21:05,305
AND SO THIS IDEA THAT WE WOULD
BE WASTING OUR TIME AND THEN TO

405
00:21:05,305 --> 00:21:09,434
ADD TO ALL THAT, WE HAVE A
PRESIDENT INCITING A MOB IS

406
00:21:09,434 --> 00:21:12,437
AGAINST NOT JUST THE RULE OF LAW
AND OUR DEMOCRACY BUT IT'S

407
00:21:12,437 --> 00:21:16,608
AGAINST WHAT EVERY CITIZEN NEEDS
RIGHT NOW IN OUR COUNTRY.

408
00:21:16,608 --> 00:21:20,487
SO MY VIEW WAS THE MORE WE CAN
BRING ON RIGHT NOW, AS MAD AS I

409
00:21:20,487 --> 00:21:23,949
AM AT THEM-- AND I DON'T WANT
ANYONE TO MISTAKE THIS THAT I

410
00:21:23,949 --> 00:21:27,452
FORGIVE THEM-- I THINK THAT WHAT
THEY DID WAS ATROCIOUS.

411
00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:30,455
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE HAVE TO
MOVE FORWARD AS A NATION.

412
00:21:30,455 --> 00:21:32,916
>> Stephen: I-- I AGREE.

413
00:21:32,916 --> 00:21:34,418
WE HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD AS A
NATION.

414
00:21:34,418 --> 00:21:36,920
BUT...

415
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,174
I SAW YOU, ALL THE SENATORS GO
BACK INTO THE CHAMBER.

416
00:21:41,174 --> 00:21:42,426
>> AND SAW THE DEBATE.

417
00:21:42,426 --> 00:21:46,346
AND WHILE THERE WAS SOME PASSION
TO THAT DEBATE, IT LOOKED

418
00:21:46,346 --> 00:21:47,347
ALARMINGLY NORMAL TO ME.

419
00:21:47,347 --> 00:21:50,350
AND I-- I KNOW YOU SAY THAT
YOU'RE ANGRY.

420
00:21:50,350 --> 00:21:54,521
I KNOW YOU'RE FROM MINNESOTA, SO
IT'S HARD TO TELL WHEN PEOPLE

421
00:21:54,521 --> 00:21:58,066
ARE ANGRY FROM THERE, BUT
AMERICA IS ANGRY.

422
00:21:58,066 --> 00:22:03,113
AMERICA IS DEEPLY SHAKEN AND
DISTURBED BY WHAT THEY JUST SAW

423
00:22:03,113 --> 00:22:05,490
HOW, AS THE PARTY THAT IS NOW IN
CONTROL OF THE HOUSE AND THE

424
00:22:05,490 --> 00:22:08,618
SENATE AND THE WHITE HOUSE,
SHOULDN'T THERE BE CONSEQUENCES,

425
00:22:08,618 --> 00:22:10,620
NOT ONLY FOR THE PEOPLE--
>> OF COURSE!

426
00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:13,665
>> Stephen: THE PEOPLE WHO
WALKED IN AND DID THIS, THEIR

427
00:22:13,665 --> 00:22:15,625
FACES ARE ON CAMERA AND THEIR
CRIMES ARE DOCUMENTED.

428
00:22:15,625 --> 00:22:19,421
I MEAN THE PEOPLE WHO
PROMULGATED THE LIE, SHOULD

429
00:22:19,421 --> 00:22:24,634
THERE NOT BE CONSEQUENCES SO
SEVERE THAT NO ONE WILL EVER

430
00:22:24,634 --> 00:22:29,681
THINK TO TO MEMENT AN
INSURRECTION AGAINST THIS

431
00:22:29,681 --> 00:22:33,018
GOVERNMENT AGAIN WITHOUT
SHUDDERING ABOUT THE PROSPECT OF

432
00:22:33,018 --> 00:22:34,519
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THEM.

433
00:22:34,519 --> 00:22:35,937
>> OF COURSE WE SHOULD.

434
00:22:35,937 --> 00:22:37,314
I'M A FORMER PROSECUTOR.

435
00:22:37,314 --> 00:22:39,357
THIS IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY,
STEPHEN.

436
00:22:39,357 --> 00:22:42,069
EVERY ONE OF THESE PEOPLE SHOULD
BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE.

437
00:22:42,069 --> 00:22:44,529
EVERYONE OF THEM SHOULD GO TO
JAIL.

438
00:22:44,529 --> 00:22:46,490
THEY LITERALLY INVADED THE
CAPITOL --

439
00:22:46,490 --> 00:22:49,868
>> Stephen: BUT I HOPE YOU'RE
INCLUDING-- I HOPE YOU'RE

440
00:22:49,868 --> 00:22:50,535
INCLUDING JOSH HAWLEY.

441
00:22:50,535 --> 00:22:52,079
YOU HAVE TO INCLUDE TED CRUZ.

442
00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:55,832
YOU HAVE TO INCLUDE...

443
00:22:55,832 --> 00:22:56,875
MARSHA BLACKBURN.

444
00:22:56,875 --> 00:22:58,752
BECAUSE THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO
ACTUALLY KNOW BETTER.

445
00:22:58,752 --> 00:22:59,961
THAT CROWD IS IGNORANT.

446
00:22:59,961 --> 00:23:04,716
THOSE PEOPLE IN THAT SENATE
CHAMBER ARE ACTUALLY THE SINNERS

447
00:23:04,716 --> 00:23:05,884
HERE.

448
00:23:05,884 --> 00:23:09,221
>> AND LET'S START WITH THE
ORIGINAL SINNER AND THE ONE THAT

449
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:13,266
REALLY INCITED THIS MOB WHICH IS
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED

450
00:23:13,266 --> 00:23:14,392
STATES.

451
00:23:14,392 --> 00:23:17,270
BECAUSE THIS IS SOMEONE THAT
JUST LOST HIS ELECTION AND

452
00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:18,396
REFUSES TO BELIEVE IT.

453
00:23:18,396 --> 00:23:22,234
AND HE HAS DEMONIZED EVERY
SINGLE PERSON THAT HAS BEEN

454
00:23:22,234 --> 00:23:25,737
WILLING TO STAND IN HIS WAY OR
STAND UP AGAINST HIM.

455
00:23:25,737 --> 00:23:27,697
SO THERE ARE SERIOUS DISCUSSIONS
RIGHT NOW ABOUT WHAT SHOULD

456
00:23:27,697 --> 00:23:31,952
HAPPEN TO THIS PRESIDENT, EVEN
THOUGH HE WILL LEAVE OFFICE ON

457
00:23:31,952 --> 00:23:33,078
JANUARY 20.

458
00:23:33,078 --> 00:23:37,207
>> Stephen: SHOULD HE BE
ALLOWED TO SERVE OUT THE REST OF

459
00:23:37,207 --> 00:23:38,708
HIS TERM, LAST 14 DAYS?

460
00:23:38,708 --> 00:23:42,587
SHOULD THE 25th AMENDMENT BE
INVOKED?

461
00:23:42,587 --> 00:23:45,549
SHOULD HE BE IMPEACHED SO HE CAN
NEVER RUN AGAIN.

462
00:23:45,549 --> 00:23:48,593
>> HE'S THE PROBLEM, NOT ONLY
DID HE INCITE IT.

463
00:23:48,593 --> 00:23:50,387
HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO STOP
IT.

464
00:23:50,387 --> 00:23:53,265
HE COULD HAVE STOP IT, AND HE
DIDN'T DO THAT BECAUSE THESE

465
00:23:53,265 --> 00:23:54,432
PEOPLE WERE LISTENING TO HIM.

466
00:23:54,432 --> 00:23:56,935
THERE WERE INTERVIEWS ALL DAY
WHERE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING

467
00:23:56,935 --> 00:23:58,228
THAT TO THE MEDIA.

468
00:23:58,228 --> 00:24:01,106
I WOULD CALL THAT EXHIBIT "A."

469
00:24:01,106 --> 00:24:03,608
SO, FIRST OF ALL, TO USE THE
25th AMENDMENT YOU HAVE TO

470
00:24:03,608 --> 00:24:05,944
GET THE MAJORITY OF THE CABINET
AND THE VICE PRESIDENT.

471
00:24:05,944 --> 00:24:09,114
LET'S SEE IF THEY ARE WILLING TO
STAND UP TO HIM.

472
00:24:09,114 --> 00:24:10,574
IMPEACHMENT, I'VE ALREADY VOTED
FOR IMPEACHMENT.

473
00:24:10,574 --> 00:24:14,911
I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT HE
SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED.

474
00:24:14,911 --> 00:24:17,998
THAT IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING WE
WOULD HAVE TO DO LITERALLY IN

475
00:24:17,998 --> 00:24:22,127
THE NEXT WEEK, AND WE DON'T EVEN
HAVE OUR NEW SENATORS SEATED

476
00:24:22,127 --> 00:24:23,295
YET.

477
00:24:23,295 --> 00:24:24,546
BUT I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS

478
00:24:24,546 --> 00:24:25,755
WELL.

479
00:24:25,755 --> 00:24:30,302
BUT THE POINT OF THIS IS THAT
TODAY, BASED ON THAT VOTE, WE

480
00:24:30,302 --> 00:24:33,263
HAVE BIPARTISAN SUPPORT AGAINST
WHAT THIS PRESIDENT IS DOING.

481
00:24:33,263 --> 00:24:36,349
SO THAT WILL BE HELPFUL, NO
MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.

482
00:24:36,349 --> 00:24:39,311
>> Stephen: WELL, THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR BEING HERE, SENATOR.

483
00:24:39,311 --> 00:24:41,938
I KNOW THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY
TRYING DAY FOR YOU.

484
00:24:41,938 --> 00:24:44,482
THANK YOU FOR...

485
00:24:44,482 --> 00:24:46,651
>> MORTIFYING STEPHEN.

486
00:24:46,651 --> 00:24:47,652
IT'S TRYING FOR AMERICA.

487
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:48,778
IT'S NOT TRYING FOR ME.

488
00:24:48,778 --> 00:24:49,529
>> Stephen: I APPRECIATE WHAT
YOU'RE SAYING.

489
00:24:49,529 --> 00:24:50,822
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT.

490
00:24:50,822 --> 00:24:55,243
BUT I-- I APPRECIATE YOU AND THE
OTHER SENATORS WHO ATTEMPTED TO

491
00:24:55,243 --> 00:24:56,870
DO THE RIGHT THING TODAY.

492
00:24:56,870 --> 00:24:58,663
AND IN THE FACE OF THIS
RESISTANCE.

493
00:24:58,663 --> 00:25:02,292
AND--
>> IT'S FOR AMERICA--

494
00:25:02,292 --> 00:25:03,627
>> IT WAS A COUP, STEPHEN.

495
00:25:03,627 --> 00:25:04,836
IT WAS A COUP.

496
00:25:04,836 --> 00:25:07,547
I KEPT CALLING IT A COUP WHEN
THEY BROUGHT IT UP, BUT RIGHT

497
00:25:07,547 --> 00:25:10,467
NOW, THAT'S WHAT YOU SAW THAT
THAT PRESIDENT TRIED TO INCITE.

498
00:25:10,467 --> 00:25:12,719
BUT I WILL TELL YOU ONE THING--
HE FAILED.

499
00:25:12,719 --> 00:25:14,679
>> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE A
MESSAGE FOR THE AMERICAN

500
00:25:14,679 --> 00:25:17,682
PEOPLE?"
>> WE HAVE A NEW PRESIDENT.

501
00:25:17,682 --> 00:25:24,522
ON JANUARY 20, JOE BIDEN AND
KAMALA HARRIS ARE GOING TO BE

502
00:25:24,522 --> 00:25:25,774
INAUGURATED.

503
00:25:25,774 --> 00:25:29,194
THIS ERA WILL BE BEHIND US, BUT
FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT DESECRATED

504
00:25:29,194 --> 00:25:32,572
THIS CAPITOL AND CREATED THESE
ACTS OF VIOLENCE, THEY WILL BE

505
00:25:32,572 --> 00:25:33,782
PROSECUTED.

506
00:25:33,782 --> 00:25:36,826
AND THIS JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
SHOULD START RIGHT NOW AND DO IT

507
00:25:36,826 --> 00:25:37,953
NOW.

508
00:25:37,953 --> 00:25:40,538
BUT IT WILL CONTINUE ON INTO JOE
BIDEN'S ADMINISTRATION.

509
00:25:40,538 --> 00:25:41,706
HE HAS MADE THAT VERY CLEAR.

510
00:25:41,706 --> 00:25:44,084
THIS CANNOT BE TOLERATED.

511
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:45,669
>> Stephen: MINNESOTA SENATOR
AMY KLOBUCHAR, EVERYBODY.

512
00:25:45,669 --> 00:25:48,004
THANK YOU, SENATOR.

513
00:25:48,004 --> 00:25:50,006
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER.

514
00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:08,316
♪ ♪ ♪
>> Stephen: WELCOME BACK,

515
00:26:08,316 --> 00:26:11,528
MY NEXT GUEST TONIGHT WAS ALSO
IN THE CAPITOL WHEN IT WAS

516
00:26:11,528 --> 00:26:13,113
OVERRUN BY VIOLENT EXTREMISTS.

517
00:26:13,113 --> 00:26:16,074
WE TAPED THIS INTERVIEW RIGHT
BEFORE CONGRESS RESUMED THEIR

518
00:26:16,074 --> 00:26:17,242
DEBATE THIS EVENING.

519
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:20,495
HERE IS MY CONVERSATION WITH
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN OF

520
00:26:20,495 --> 00:26:22,539
ILLINOIS, ADAM KINZINGER.

521
00:26:22,539 --> 00:26:27,544
CONGRESSMAN, THANK YOU FOR BEING
HERE ON THIS EXTRAORDINARY AND

522
00:26:27,544 --> 00:26:29,921
EXTRAORDINARILY TERRIBLE DAY.

523
00:26:29,921 --> 00:26:34,301
I'M SO SORRY FOR WHAT HAPPENED
TODAY ON THE CAPITOL FOR OUR

524
00:26:34,301 --> 00:26:36,219
COUNTRY, BUT ALSO FOR YOU AND
YOUR STAFF.

525
00:26:36,219 --> 00:26:37,762
IS EVERYBODY OKAY?

526
00:26:37,762 --> 00:26:38,972
>> YEAH, EVERYBODY'S GOOD.

527
00:26:38,972 --> 00:26:42,559
I ACTUALLY-- I'VE BEEN
ANTICIPATING THIS FOR A WHILE,

528
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:43,643
AND SO I DIDN'T HAVE STAFF COME
IN TODAY.

529
00:26:43,643 --> 00:26:46,438
I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT.

530
00:26:46,438 --> 00:26:49,691
BUT WE'RE KIND OF UNDER SIEGE
HERE, IT FEELS LIKE, A LITTLE

531
00:26:49,691 --> 00:26:50,734
BIT.

532
00:26:50,734 --> 00:26:53,069
>> Stephen: THAT IS
INTERESTING THAT YOU PERCEIVED

533
00:26:53,069 --> 00:26:56,614
THIS THREAT AHEAD OF TIME BASED
UPON KNOWING THAT THERE WAS

534
00:26:56,614 --> 00:26:58,908
GOING TO BE THIS RALLY DOWN THE
STREET AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

535
00:26:58,908 --> 00:27:01,828
IS THAT-- IS THAT WHAT PUT YOU
ON GUARD?

536
00:27:01,828 --> 00:27:03,121
>> YEAH, IT IS.

537
00:27:03,121 --> 00:27:05,832
YOU KNOW, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS
HEAR, YOU KNOW, THE WORDS OF THE

538
00:27:05,832 --> 00:27:10,795
PRESIDENT TALKING ABOUT
BASICALLY STORMING D.C. AND

539
00:27:10,795 --> 00:27:13,423
DIFFERENT WORDS PRIOR TO THIS,
CONVINCING PEOPLE THAT AN

540
00:27:13,423 --> 00:27:14,549
ELECTION WAS STOLEN.

541
00:27:14,549 --> 00:27:17,635
IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE THAT AN
ELECTION WAS STOLEN AND THE

542
00:27:17,635 --> 00:27:19,888
GOVERNMENT'S RUN BY, YOU KNOW,
AS QANON BELIEVES SAINT ANIST

543
00:27:19,888 --> 00:27:23,892
PED FILES YOU CAN EXPECT
SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN

544
00:27:23,892 --> 00:27:28,313
AND YOU CAN SEE THE CHATTER ON
TWITTER WITH PEOPLE TALKING

545
00:27:28,313 --> 00:27:29,481
ABOUT 1776 MOMENTS.

546
00:27:29,481 --> 00:27:30,815
I KNEW IT WAS COMING.

547
00:27:30,815 --> 00:27:32,025
I WASN'T SURPRISED.

548
00:27:32,025 --> 00:27:33,860
BUT IT WAS DEFINITELY A
SURPRISING DAY.

549
00:27:33,860 --> 00:27:39,282
>> Stephen: WELL, TELL US WHAT
IT WAS LIKE IN THE CHAMBER.

550
00:27:39,282 --> 00:27:41,826
WHEN DID YOU FIND OUT THAT IT
WAS HAPPENING?

551
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:44,829
AND HOW WERE YOU INFORMED THAT
YOU NEEDED TO LEAVE FOR YOUR

552
00:27:44,829 --> 00:27:48,166
SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THE
STAFF?

553
00:27:48,166 --> 00:27:49,834
>> YOU KNOW, I WAS LUCKY,
BECAUSE I WAS ON THE HOUSE FLOOR

554
00:27:49,834 --> 00:27:52,670
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
PROCEEDINGS.

555
00:27:52,670 --> 00:27:54,964
AND AS I STARTED TO LOOK AT
TWITTER AND I WAS GETTING REALLY

556
00:27:54,964 --> 00:27:59,135
KIND OF THAT FEELING THAT
SOMETHING WAS ABOUT TO GO DOWN.

557
00:27:59,135 --> 00:28:01,012
AND, YOU KNOW, PLUS THE
PRESIDENT'S SPEECH EARLIER IN

558
00:28:01,012 --> 00:28:02,222
THE DAY PUT ME ON EDGE.

559
00:28:02,222 --> 00:28:04,808
AND THEN I STARTED TO SEE THE
BARRICADES WERE BEING STORMED.

560
00:28:04,808 --> 00:28:10,563
AND I MADE THE DECISION THEN TO
GO BACK TO MY OFFICE AND I'M

561
00:28:10,563 --> 00:28:11,689
GLAD I DID.

562
00:28:11,689 --> 00:28:14,150
I MOO FRIENDS AND STUFF I TALKED
TO ON THE FLOOR, IT WAS

563
00:28:14,150 --> 00:28:17,195
OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING SURREAL,
LIKE "END OF TIMES" KIND OF

564
00:28:17,195 --> 00:28:18,363
MOVIE.

565
00:28:18,363 --> 00:28:21,991
AND WHEN THEY'RE PULLING THE
ESCAPE HOODZ AND PUTTING THEM ON

566
00:28:21,991 --> 00:28:25,495
THEIR HEADS, WHICH WE NEVER
THOUGHT WE'D HAVE TO USE, THAT'S

567
00:28:25,495 --> 00:28:26,663
CRAZY.

568
00:28:26,663 --> 00:28:27,872
>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU THINK
NEEDS TO BE SAID AND DONE TO

569
00:28:27,872 --> 00:28:31,209
CALM THE SITUATION DOWN?

570
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:34,671
BECAUSE YOU WERE NEVER ONE-- YOU
HAVE CONSTANTLY BEEN A CRITIC OF

571
00:28:34,671 --> 00:28:39,050
THE IDEA OF OPPOSING THE
CERTIFICATION OF THE ELECTION.

572
00:28:39,050 --> 00:28:42,053
YOU'VE CALLED THE PRESIDENT'S
BEHAVIOR IRRESPONSIBLE, EVEN

573
00:28:42,053 --> 00:28:43,263
BEFORE THE ELECTION.

574
00:28:43,263 --> 00:28:48,059
BUT WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN NOW SO
THAT THIS IS NOT PERCEIVED AS

575
00:28:48,059 --> 00:28:49,227
NORMAL?

576
00:28:49,227 --> 00:28:50,937
WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO THOSE
PEOPLE, THE MAJORITY OF THE

577
00:28:50,937 --> 00:28:56,734
REPUBLICANS IF YOU COMBINE THE
SENATE AND THE MEMBERS OF THE

578
00:28:56,734 --> 00:28:59,779
HOUSE, THOUGHT THAT THIS DENIAL
OF THE CERTIFICATION ARGUMENT

579
00:28:59,779 --> 00:29:02,907
WAS A GOOD IDEA.

580
00:29:02,907 --> 00:29:06,202
WHAT-- WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN WITH
THOSE PEOPLE?

581
00:29:06,202 --> 00:29:08,913
>> WELL, YOU KNOW,
UNFORTUNATELY, THE ONLY THING

582
00:29:08,913 --> 00:29:11,040
THAT CAN HAPPEN IS A POLITICAL
DECISION.

583
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,544
BUT ON LEADERSHIP, YOU KNOW,
LEADERS IN THIS PARTY WHO

584
00:29:14,544 --> 00:29:18,590
CONVINCED PEOPLE THAT SOMEHOW
CONGRESS COULD MAGICALLY PICK

585
00:29:18,590 --> 00:29:21,593
THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT

586
00:29:21,593 --> 00:29:26,139
WAS GOING TO BE EASIER TO JUST
AVOID THAT PAIN OF SAYING, "NO,

587
00:29:26,139 --> 00:29:28,266
IT'S NOT POSSIBLE," THAN WHAT WE
FACE NOW.

588
00:29:28,266 --> 00:29:33,062
I MEAN, WE HAVE TO HAVE A REAL
AWAKENING MOMENT IN OUR PARTY.

589
00:29:33,062 --> 00:29:36,107
THE G.O.P. HAS GOT TO GET OUT OF
THE BUSINESS OF CULTURE WARS AND

590
00:29:36,107 --> 00:29:38,276
GET BACK INTO THE BUSINESS OF
GIVING PEOPLE HOPE AND

591
00:29:38,276 --> 00:29:41,779
OPPORTUNITY AND ACTUALLY MAKING
THE CASE FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE,

592
00:29:41,779 --> 00:29:46,784
INSTEAD OF THINKING WE CAN DO
THAT THROUGH POWER AND ALL-CAPS

593
00:29:46,784 --> 00:29:47,994
TWEETS.

594
00:29:47,994 --> 00:29:50,288
>> Stephen: THERE'S A QUOTE
THAT IS SOMETIMES ATTRIBUTED TO

595
00:29:50,288 --> 00:29:54,876
HUEY LONG AND SOMETIMES SAINT
CLAIRE LEWIS "WHEN FASCISM COMES

596
00:29:54,876 --> 00:29:58,463
TO AMERICA IT WILL BE CLOAKED IN
AMERICAN FLAGS."

597
00:29:58,463 --> 00:30:02,467
WAS THIS AN ATTEMPTED FASCIST
COUP?

598
00:30:02,467 --> 00:30:03,301
AMERICAN TERRORISM?

599
00:30:03,301 --> 00:30:04,802
HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE IT?

600
00:30:04,802 --> 00:30:07,847
>> I CHARACTERIZE IT AS A COUP
ATTEMPT.

601
00:30:07,847 --> 00:30:10,683
THE GOOD THING ABOUT THE UNITED
STATES IS THE GUARDRAILS, THE

602
00:30:10,683 --> 00:30:11,768
CONSTITUTION WILL HOLD.

603
00:30:11,768 --> 00:30:14,812
BUT THE ONE THING IT DOES SHOW
US IS THE FRAGILITY OF

604
00:30:14,812 --> 00:30:15,897
DEMOCRACY.

605
00:30:15,897 --> 00:30:18,316
AND WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE
STORMING THE CAPITOL, SAYING

606
00:30:18,316 --> 00:30:20,860
THINGS LIKE 1776, A FEW PEOPLE
WITH CONFEDERATE FLAGS COME AND

607
00:30:20,860 --> 00:30:25,823
OCCUPY THE CAPITOL, YOU SEE GUNS
DRAWN IN THE PEOPLE'S CHAMBER,

608
00:30:25,823 --> 00:30:30,995
YOU KNOW, WHERE THIS DEBATE IS
SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN AND YOU SEE A

609
00:30:30,995 --> 00:30:36,459
PRESIDENT NON-REPENTANT ON
TWITTER, IT'S ABSOLUTELY A COUP

610
00:30:36,459 --> 00:30:37,710
ATTEMPT.

611
00:30:37,710 --> 00:30:39,963
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'D CALL IT
IF IT HAPPENED IN BELARUS OR ANY

612
00:30:39,963 --> 00:30:41,047
OTHER COUNTRY.

613
00:30:41,047 --> 00:30:42,257
>> Stephen: I'M SURE YOU'VE
SEEN THE PHOTOGRAPH OF THE

614
00:30:42,257 --> 00:30:46,302
SECURITY OFFICERS IN THE CHAMBER
OF THE HOUSE WITH THEIR GUNS

615
00:30:46,302 --> 00:30:50,014
DRAWN POINTED AT THE BROKEN
WINDOW OF THAT FAMOUS DOOR THAT

616
00:30:50,014 --> 00:30:53,309
WE ALL SEE THE PRESIDENT WALK
THROUGH FOR THE STATE OF THE

617
00:30:53,309 --> 00:30:56,521
UNION, THAT YOU WALK THROUGH
EVERY DAY AS A PART OF YOUR JOB,

618
00:30:56,521 --> 00:30:59,065
WILL YOU EVER LOOK AT THAT DOOR
THE SAME WAY AGAIN?

619
00:30:59,065 --> 00:31:00,858
>> NO, I NEVER WILL.

620
00:31:00,858 --> 00:31:05,196
AND IN FACT, YOU KNOW THERE ARE
BULLET SCARS IN THE HOUSE FROM A

621
00:31:05,196 --> 00:31:09,659
TERRORIST ATTACK IN THE 50
FRONTAL SYSTEM I THINK PUERTO

622
00:31:09,659 --> 00:31:10,827
RICAN SEPARATISTS.

623
00:31:10,827 --> 00:31:13,204
AND THAT'S ALWAYS KIND OF SHOWN
AS WHAT CAN HAPPEN.

624
00:31:13,204 --> 00:31:15,915
THIS IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER
THING.

625
00:31:15,915 --> 00:31:18,626
IN 50 YEARS WHEN PEOPLE GIVE
TOURS, THEY'RE GOING TO TALK

626
00:31:18,626 --> 00:31:20,086
ABOUT THOSE BULLET SCARS AND THE
SCARS FROM TODAY.

627
00:31:20,086 --> 00:31:23,214
BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, THE
DEMOCRACY WILL SURVIVE.

628
00:31:23,214 --> 00:31:29,512
BUT PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO GET OUT
OF THISWITH A DIFFERENT OPINION,

629
00:31:29,512 --> 00:31:32,056
PASSIONATELY DEBATE BUT
RECOGNIZE THAT POLITICS WAS

630
00:31:32,056 --> 00:31:36,227
INVENTED TO PREVENT VIOLENCE AND
OUR POLITICS HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR

631
00:31:36,227 --> 00:31:37,353
SO LONG.

632
00:31:37,353 --> 00:31:39,522
>> Stephen: YOU TWEETED,
"LEADERS WHO LED THIS SHOULD ALL

633
00:31:39,522 --> 00:31:43,026
RESIGN SO THE ADULTS AND TRUTH
TELLERS CAN RESTORE OUR G.O.P."

634
00:31:43,026 --> 00:31:45,403
WHO ARE THOSE LEADERS?

635
00:31:45,403 --> 00:31:47,280
COULD YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC?

636
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,781
DOES IT INCLUDE THE...

637
00:31:48,781 --> 00:31:50,491
THE PRESIDENT AND THE VICE
PRESIDENT?

638
00:31:50,491 --> 00:31:52,577
SHOULD THEY LEAVE NOW?

639
00:31:52,577 --> 00:31:54,078
SHOULD THE 25th AMENDMENT BE
INVOKED?

640
00:31:54,078 --> 00:31:57,123
>> YEAH, SO I DON'T WANT TO GET
INTO NAMING NAMES, BUT ON THE

641
00:31:57,123 --> 00:32:00,418
PRESIDENT, I THINK THAT'S
SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT.

642
00:32:00,418 --> 00:32:04,714
IF HE'S GOING TO STAY IN
OFFICE-- YOU KNOW, IT'S ONLY TWO

643
00:32:04,714 --> 00:32:06,883
WEEKS SO HOW YOU CAN QUICKLY DO
THIS.

644
00:32:06,883 --> 00:32:10,345
IF HE'S GOING TO STAY IN OFFICE
AND CONTINUE TO BE NONREPENTANT

645
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:11,971
ON TWITTER AND SAY PEOPLE
SHOULDN'T BE VIOLENT BUT THEY

646
00:32:11,971 --> 00:32:15,266
WERE JUSTIFIED IN DOING THIS, I
THINK THAT'S A CONVERSATION THAT

647
00:32:15,266 --> 00:32:17,226
WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW MORNING,
AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'LL SEE

648
00:32:17,226 --> 00:32:18,353
WHERE THAT GOES.

649
00:32:18,353 --> 00:32:28,404
BUT THE REALITY IS EVERYBODY
THAT LED LED-- YOU KNOW, OUR

650
00:32:28,404 --> 00:32:31,240
SUPPORTERS WHO LOOK TO US FOR
TRUST, THEY DESERVE TO TELL THE

651
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,784
TRUTH TO THEM NOW.

652
00:32:32,784 --> 00:32:35,119
>> Stephen: WHILE YOU HAVE
BEEN A VOCAL CRITIC OF THE

653
00:32:35,119 --> 00:32:38,331
PRESIDENT, DID YOU VOTE FOR
IMPEACHMENT LAST YEAR?

654
00:32:38,331 --> 00:32:39,457
>> NO, I DIDN'T.

655
00:32:39,457 --> 00:32:41,292
>> Stephen: WOULD YOU LIKE
ANOTHER BITE AT THAT APPLE?
