Proud Boys Face Prison Time For Sedition | Stephen Will Go LIVE After Jan 6 Hearing 

Why the jab at Johnny Depp though? That's uncalled for.

None of this means a thing until the 45th “president” of this nation goes to prison.

I have taken a day off to follow the hearings here in Europe. I and my nurse colleagues watched on and off as the insurrection was on our tvs live and we could not believe what we witnessed. We want to witness some accountability now! For the sake of democracy anywhere and so that we can perhaps respect the US again ....

This is maddening. I watched endless hours of that Depp trial and it’s astounding how you could still call him the bad guy after seeing how blatantly his ex lied. Pull your head out.

I still can't stop chuckling over the fact that a guy named Enrique is the head of the Proud Boys.

Proud Boys - an all-male group who got their name from a musical. It’s beyond parody. May they wear it with pride.

Stephen has been on fire lately, he is truly in his prime! The show has been so fun to watch lately!

When I was a lifeguard, I was paid minimum wage while risking my life, skin cancer, and legal liability if anything went wrong on my watch. No wonder there is a shortage. Lifeguards are trained first responders overseeing lives but are paid like dirt.

IS THAT ALL? Drug offenders have been given life, with no violent or seditious convictions. TRAITORS used to get DEATH. Why can’t we give them life?

That Mike Pence cameo is unbelievable...he finally got to be a real boy.

Here's the contours of what we know: 1. The Republican party, with elected or appointed officials at the top level of all three branches of the U.S. Government, planned and executed a coup d'etat attempt. 2. A part of the coup attempt was to seditiously incite a terrorist insurrection that would stop the peaceful transfer of power after the most secure, and examined election in U.S. history at the *exact time* and *exact place* where it is Constitutionally mandated to occur. 3. Both the coup attempt and the insurrection almost succeeded. 4. The Pentagon, the DHS, the FBI and the DOJ had people who acted to uphold their oaths and helped thwart the coup -- but all also had people aiding and abetting it or otherwise acting as accomplices, both before, during and after the events. 5. The Republican party's top elected leader (he holds that spot today and held it then) literally said about Trump after the coup, "the Democrats will take care of that SOB for us" -- yet, nearly all who showed a spine that day or after have cowered behind Trump after his cult-of-personality came after their power and hammered them with death threats. 6. The forces that saved us from dictatorship that day were primarily the Capitol police and the DC Metropolitan police, who have earned little but hollow praise preceding heaped scorn from elected Republicans in the Congress.

I am going to use "pre-exhausted" from now on 😂

Jamie Raskin-he da’ man! (In other words-a Congress person with integrity, grit and the country’s interest at heart.)

People charged with sedition should be jailed for life!!!

I love Jon Batiste late laughs. He's always about 3 seconds too late to laugh lol.

Never thought I would hear Stephen side with a domestic abuser against the victim. Guess he isn't as good a person as I had been led to believe.

Parliament didn’t hold a vote, it was a vote held amongst Conservative MPs - far more damaging when only 2/5 of your own MPs don’t want you to stay on as PM.

Time for those Proud Boys to stand back and stand by… for the next two decades

“I am pre exhausted”, I know I’ve done too many events that way. Such an apt expression.

This will be the first time I've ever said, "Thank God I've already been through menopause."

On behalf of all Americans and their families that paid the ultimate sacrifice fighting in all past wars in the name of Democracy,,,please for God sake,,,,hold these traitors accountable.

Writing from overseas, it does look ludicrous that people in the US get longer for driving offenses than the maximum sentence for sedition.

What the f did you say about Johnny Depp?! You've seriously making fun of a victim of domestic abuse?!

Thanks Stephen keep on keeping on praise's Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️ Jah sisters

Did Stephen just shame a victim of domestic abuse? Johnny Depp is not an evil man.

With all the horrible things going on all around us, watching you makes me happy & helps me forget the bad for awhile. 😊

Every single part of this mess is agonizing: arrests, charges, trials, indictments & most important: sentencing. If they are not given maximum, it is all just for show.

0:31 No Stephen it won't be 'an' historic evening it will be 'a' historic evening. The only time you use 'an' before a word beginning with the letter 'h' is when it is silent. For example 'an honour' or 'an hour', the 'h' in historic is not silent.

Being a Proud Boy is not something a mother would be proud of.

So lifelike, the only way to tell them apart is to check for the fly.

They need to be charged with insurrection then thrown in jail for a year and a half with a trial in so.Italy confinement!

Totally had me with the hilarious dummy Mike Pence, lost me with the Johnny Depp victim blaming.

The Mike Pence mannequin is not complete without the fly.

0:48 I have never seen anyone say "I am tired" so enthusiastically before. 😂😂😝

the Johnny Depp joke was a huge miss .... as you can see on the comments we just gonna act like your team didn't make JD a bad guy ..... disappointing

The Borris Johnson - muppet joke was excelent.

I can't get over pretending the resume was falling, catching it, and handing it to an imaginary person off-camera. It's the little things that make you such an incredible performer. I've been watching you for over 15 years, and I still completely adore you.

Making the event live on TV is the best thing they could do! Let the world see it all 👏🏾👏🏾💯

his fans called that text chain with paul bettany "colourful humour" but this is apparently crossing the line.. Btw stephen colbert the man you are👑

Happy to say I was in the audience for this one!

"I spent the last 2 years turning my body into a flotation device..." 🤣

I love you Steven for helping me get through these last several years with your intelligent humor. You are not just comic relief but spot on with truths. I love you man !!!

3:42 SO FUNNYYYY ! subscribed !

God it feels great to have Jon Batiste back! 🙌🏾❤️

Thank the Lord for Stephen Colbert. He keeps me from losing faith in humanity and he’s frickin Hilarious

Huffing Helium on TV. That's quality entertainment right there people. I do love this show , so much.

I think they meant to put Amber Turd instead of Johnny Depp

Fire the writer who made the Johnny Depp "joke".

Start the popcorn Thursday !!!!

What's with the dig at Johnny Depp? He's been vindicated and basically proved that all those horrible accusations lobbed against him were utter BS.

You’re a great man !! A great American 🇺🇸 !! Thank you so much for the truth. I get my news from you Mr. .. Thanks again!

Thank God it wont be cutting into my General Hospital!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Depp ? WTF was that? Seems foul mocking a Domestic Violence survivor who lost part of his finger to his narcissistic abuser. DO BETTER THAN THIS.

The smack upside the head of that Mike Pence training dummy broke my ribs 🤣

Indictment of the Proud Boys isn't enough. They need to go to jail for a substantial length of time. If not then it is a complete waste of time!

Mistake at 7:36 The british parliament didn't hold a no confidence vote, the british prime minister's party held one

I am glad that Johnny Depp now can move on with his life and away from that liar

So is Johnny Depp a bad guy because he was abused, or because something else? Expected better of Stephen, honestly.

They used to get the death penalty for sedition - whatever happened to that. ...and in case your don't know sedition another word is TRAITOR.

Love you Stephen! You are hilarious and right on.

If the January 6th committee can get the former guy finally locked up in handcuffs and in an orange jumpsuit then we don't have to worry about him in 2024 and then hopefully things will get better.

It kind of makes sense why they would want their insurrection filmed. When you think from their perspective, they were completely in the illusion of being some historic hero and fully confident they were to succeed in the overthrow, so that there would be historic evidence for whatever future government they helped install. The thought of failure and having to face the music, from a non-overthrown country, never crossed their minds.

Thank you for helping me go to sleep with a giddy snort laugh, and a constant grin. Thank you for continuing to strive to push us out of the dark ages, laughing till we cry and then laughing again! 🤣😂😁🥰🙃🤪

I love you Stephen Colbert, my fellow French Canadian Catholic

The fake Mike Pence was more animated and charismatic than the real one.

Everything the staff assembled for this monologue was hilarious and I don't care what anyone says; the helium gag has me rollin' in the aisle everytime it's done by anyone and Stephen was great! 🤣

leave Johnny Depp alone, he has suffered enough.

I wonder if Colbert staffers will be held to same accountability, oddly CBS CNN MSNBC haven't reported the story.

Awesome! Once a month?! Brings on a whole new appreciation of first Fridays!

A Helium shortage is pretty serious because it is a finite resource. There is only so much in existence on Earth and when it's gone, it's gone. Since it is necessary for operating MRI machines we should be doing more to preserve what we have.

All the waste of time without, jailing the former president.

Those boris Johnson jokes killed lmao

Seeing them arrested doesn't make me proud, seeing them convicted doesn't make me proud, if all they get as a sentence is "Time served."

I have a doctor's appt on Thursday. I almost rescheduled when I thought the hearings were in the morning.

Thank you, Stephen.

Great to know you are going to be LIVE on Thursday night!👊💪🙏

"The mills of the gods grind slowly, yet they grind exceedingly fine." 😂

Johnny is innocent and was just completely vindicated in court. Why did Colbert make that joke? I’m extremely disappointed in him and his team right now.

Expert at the long walk punchline!

By expressly referencing ‘heterosexual’ in their rule, the PBs inherently acknowledge that there IS, in fact, such a thing as a Gay Proud Boy. I thought it might be me, being White and all. But I have no problem with immigrants and Democrats, so . Happy Pride everybody! 🏳️‍🌈

Hello world! From Canada 🇨🇦

So you're telling me the January 6th insurrection could have been prevented if the Pride Boys just whipped it and rubbed one out? You could have told us that months ago! I'm sure Madison Cawthorn would be happy to help them out!

Can't wait for this Maybe America will have justice

Good to hear Jon Batiste has started cackling like Paul Shaffer used to do.

Reminder that a lot of these shortages are due to companies refusing to pay workers livable wages

Thank you for making me laugh. So little reason to, these days. Bless you and your crew, Stephen. And Evvie...what a wonderful, warm woman your wife is. Marriage goals.

That’s SO FRIKIN FUNNY the shipwreck thing!!!!!

you forgot to place a small fly on pence's head

I do not care about the "proud boys". I care about the boys and girls in our government who haven't been held accountable

I’m so happy to see Jon Batiste back on The Late Show. I missed his musical talent and personality!

You are awesome Stephen!!

@2:34 - Oh man - your art department blew a perfect opportunity to glue a fly on his head!! SNL did it that Saturday!

Cheers Stephen for a great 👍 show, always watch it on RU-vid in the UK Brings the news to life thank you 👍🇬🇧

It would have been a much funnier joke if Steven had inhaled the air from the balloon, paused for effect, but his voice turned out to be normal... because there's a helium shortage.

Prison time!!?? They'll get as much as the primary instigator .... in other words, ZERO!

And..... So do your employees... Lol

That smile after he smacked the pence mannequin... *chef's kiss*

Little mistake, it wasn't a parliamentary no confidence vote, because that would involve all of parliament. Boris's no confidence vote was a Tory party commons no confidence vote, so only the MP's from the Tory party, so no lords or ladies, and no members of the opposition.

Stephen's staffers arrested for being in the DC Capitol after hours.

Gosh darn this Stephen Colbert is such a hoot and a holler, life is so scary and filled with uncomfortable truths, but this guy makes everything seem happy go lucky
