“maybe you were too tough on the last guy?”
Reply“heh heh……. aah…. no.”
I hate to lead on a negative note. But Steven has no skills whatsoever. Slamming political opponents should not be a score. I grew up in the 80s and 90s when late night was actually funny. This dude is full of nothing but negative slams. Too bad for CBS. How dare he even say y’all. This man and a flannel represents nothing of America and he has nothing funny to amusing to say.
ReplyI never not love these two together.
Replyfor the love of God, just put Part 1 on the videos titles.. it is so annoying having to open blindly the videos in order to get the full interview. When there is 3 videos or more is hell.
ReplyI’m not sure why you they all act so surprised by Republicans’ actions. I’m not American but it’s still seems pretty clear why they are doing this. It’s because of how American politics work. And laziness and selfishness. It’s not really about what’s good for the Party in the battleground seats but what is happening in the firmly Republican ones because there Trump holds enough of the voting block to dictate the rules.
It’s true most of those Republicans are in the safely Republican districts where Democrats are never going to win. But that doesn’t mean they seats of those guys are safe. Only the party is. The individual politicians can be unseated during primary by anyone saying they are Republican. And since the sane people who have lives tend to not vote in primaries the voices who do skew towards those angry enough to get out and vote – and right now that’s Trump supporters. It’s please them or be replaced by QAnnons. And in main election the district is going to vote Republican anyway no matter how crazy the candidate is.
Sure they could try to go and convince the moderates to come vote in primaries but it would require a Stacy Abrams-like tactics. And that’s a lot of work. It’s easier to just lie and swallow whatever humiliation Trump demands.
Of course this is not just Republican thing. The Democrats who want more safety net changes did the same thing in very blue areas which is why AOC is in Congress and it pushed the party left. It’s a one way you can make your voice heard in the crazy American voting system. But for Republican it means detachment from reality, lies and racism are the only options to make it. They are never going to admit the truth unless they plan to retire.
ReplySeriously thinking Documentary Now should do an episode just on the Cyber Ninja story and the Arizona #fraudit, and play it completely straight. I have a feeling nobody would know that the whole thing was completely real instead of hilariously fake. This whole thing seems suspiciously like some kind of mockumentary or a Borat-style prank!
ReplyA sociopath got into office. Give him a polygraph. Then somebody please do something!
ReplyDonald Trump is an ordinary citizen and the media should stop holding him accountable. Donald Trump is an ordinary citizen and all the Republicans should feast on his feces.
ReplyWhy don´t these so called Journalists, interview this Republicans, instead of having their own opinions about what these Republicans opinions really are????? 😵😵😵
Reply“No. 45”? Who’s that? Nevermind, who cares..
ReplyThat is a lovely, understated, elegant springtime shirt and tie combination.
ReplyOmg! I Thought I was the only person who says “it’s coocoo for coco puffs” whenever something sounds or is crazy. 😆😆😆😆
ReplyTrump will be 47
ReplyAre they also stealing tax dollars, yes
ReplyNow the lie has got its own legs and whoever stands behind the lie is clinically insane isn’t it time to give them shock treatment
ReplyJon Batiste, always bringing joy. Love that dude.
ReplyThe gop is putting all their chips on lies. WHY ?
ReplyPlease indict these criminals
Honestly Stephen, I love your show like this.
ReplyLooks like Jake is in a hotel bathroom 🤷🏻♀️
ReplyHow can you not like Jake Tapper. 🙂 Always fun to watch when he’s on.
ReplyIt’s so funny (and frustrating) to watch these seemingly rationale adults discussing how the public won’t vote for the GQP candidates. It doesn’t matter, people! They are DONE with democracy. Everything is projection with the GQP. They’re screaming about election fraud because they’re doing it and planning to rig more. They don’t give a 💩 about votes. They don’t need them to “win”.
ReplyHello John! 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹
ReplyI agree with Jake – there is no reason whatsoever to have guests who actively support the election fraud lie or the whitewashing of the 1/6 insurrection riot. If they’ll lie about these essential facts in our democracy, *what won’t they lie about?* Reminds me of the days when Kellyanne Conway was a regular – I always wondered why she was such a frequent guest on legitimate media outlets. Hosts are finally accepting that it only makes the problem worse to give air-time to these scumbags.
ReplyLoving JB’s. St.Aug jacket.
ReplyDomestic Terrorism is not an entertainment issue.
ReplyI stand with Tapper.
Jake Tapper is the ultimate zaddy!
ReplyGamble? Not so sure… It’s a safe bet Putin and his oligarchs will fund the GOP’s continued help with destabilizing the USA.
ReplyI think we should just stop talking about 45. Nothing gives him more pleasure than knowing he’s still relevant.
Reply“Oh yeah, always in the hands and in the heart baby.” Jon Batiste, everybody!
ReplyGOP is making a psychotherapy on Liz Cheney’s neck. They just need somebody to hang on to cure their frustration.
ReplyIt’s just a denial of reality.
“Got some music in your hands?”

“I am music!”
-John
ReplyI love John Baptiste (sp?) so much!!!
ReplyRepublicans are biting their own tails with these lies. We may see the fall of the Republican party in our lifetime. The only problem I have is what horrible beast will rise from its ashes?
ReplySo, Liz Cheney’s replacement Elise Stefanik is left-of-Centre? Good. I support her future nomination to the Supreme Court.😃👍🏾
ReplyThe GOP a party enabling on a Big Lie Conspiracy. The GQP backs a vindictive, petulant, demagogue and narcissist. They are destroying their own party, and as Lindsey said.” We deserve it”. Trump Lies Matter and should have consequences and accountability.
Reply“Our Chris Christie interview is now worthless”
Pretty sure it was worthless prior to Scaramucci firing.
ReplyI don’t think this is about Trump – much. The GOP is a minority party that needs to suppress votes to hold onto power, and the Big Lie is giving them a great excuse to do that. That’s the long game. Sure, keeping Trump happy MIGHT be good short term.
ReplyMitch and the other fellatio masters cannot even say “THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION”. What does that say about their mind set as one of the many employees of the United States Government? I wonder if Mitch calls his wife “the Asian married to me”.
ReplyI watch Stephen and Jon with the most ridiculous grins on my face ever! They make my heart glad! Thank you guys!
ReplyYou can tell Stephen is looking into a camera and that his screen where he can see Jon is at his left (our right)
Reply“The Big Lie” should called what it really is: “The Big Act of Treason”.
ReplyJon, my ray of sunshine.
ReplyThere’s no spectrum for amorality.
Reply“Putting all their chips on a guy who can’t run a casino. “
Replywould you like another record or the deck?
ReplyIt’s apprpriate on a comedy show to have on anyone from CNN.
ReplyJon Batiste is so very talented…
ReplyHas anyone thought to check those ballots cast in the states that Chump won handily for bamboo? I mean I dont understand why China would vote for Biden whenChump is openly sympathetic to Communists.
ReplyI FOR ONE….WILL BOYCOTT ANY AND ALL MEDIA OF ANY TYPE WHO GIVES ANY AND ALL ATTENTION TO THE dt and, or any of the like ILLMINDED, POSION SPEWED!!!!!!
ReplyNEVER WILL I ALLOW THAT PATHETICALLY, DISTURBING GARBAGE STEAL MY PRECIOUS TIME , OR THOUGHTS
NOOOO, I don’t want live audience ever back again
ReplyCrazy these people get votes
ReplyTells you A LOT about millions of Americans.
Has anyone else noticed how horribly strained and sad Jake Tapper looked several months ago? It was so nice to see him relaxed and even smiling🙂
ReplyOh good GOD, I think I’ve figured it out. They don’t give a shit about this election. They’re tiring out key areas so they can’t stand getting into politics next time.
ReplyWhy has there been no Official intervention in Arizona? Has nobody ordered Cease and Desist?
ReplyJake, is your right hand ok? Looks like you dug a grave and then got a cheap manicure. =/
Reply1:36 is when the actual interview starts 🙄
ReplyJake”s background = “Fake Views”
ReplyNo!! No!!! No audiences!
Reply1:43 to skip intro.
ReplyStephens skin tone is nearly an exact match for the wood wall behind him…
ReplyI know, let’s all rub bamboo leaves on our ballets…or maybe banana! Then we can blame Castro for stuffing the ballot box.
Replywow, I didn’t realize nearly all republicans were complete cowards.
ReplyIt’s crazy how the elections in your country are run by political parties and not an independent commission….
Reply9:02 Not to mention racist
ReplyThe GOP is completely Koo Koo 4 Coco Puffs as Tapper says & the whole party (except the impeachment voters) could make for good comedy if it weren’t a little too soon, while we’re all still recovering from PTSD (Post Trump Stress Disorder)…
ReplyJohn Batiste was fabulous on “American Idol”! Joyful!

ReplyGet ready for the storm. Ultraviolet will clear the truth.
ReplyPLEEZ do not cover Drumpf’s continued madness. I am tired (exhausted) of the madness and chaos.
ReplyI don’t want to see Stephen in a suit ever again.
ReplyI’ve actually enjoyed the monologs more. Maybe when he’s back in front of folks he can find a blend.
ReplyTapper, “23 Skidoo”, 😄👍👍!!!!
ReplyThe Republican Party is doubling down on the lie in the hopes of an elected autocracy in 2024.
ReplySorry Stephen, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to vote “NO” on the plaid shirt.
Reply“So the interview with Chris Christie was.. worthless”
ReplyI mean.. yeah?
It’s a bad idea to have anti-democratic liars on News programs, and offering the corresponding platform. so Yes Jake.
ReplyMan o Man… John Baptiste was stoned as hell tonight… good man lmao
ReplyJake is the corporations’ 🍆🍭 – Horrible, horrible man. Wish you would have asked him why he insists on framing his conversations in whatever way pleases his centrist ideals. Stop supporting #CorporateCrimes
ReplyJon Batiste is a lord.
ReplyJon was higher than normal tonight lol

ReplyYou need only go over to Faux news to see how much they love bleep pot lies and conspiracy theories.
ReplyIt’s NOT the GOP anymore. It’s the Fascist Party of Trumplandia..
ReplyJake Taps is the best!
ReplyGee, 80% of the active mob in DC were active military, police and federal officers. That is the WHOPPER of the media SECRET! – Supporters of Reality Winner, a National Security Agency whistleblower who leaked classified information about Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, petitioned Donald Trump on Monday for her early release from prison. Alison Grinter, an attorney representing the former US air force intelligence specialist, announced at a press conference in Dallas that she had submitted 4,500 letters of support to the federal office of the pardon attorney, the division of the Department of Justice that advises the US president on executive clemency decisions. Winner was sentenced to five years and three months in August 2018 after admitting breaching the espionage act by passing top secret documents to an investigative news website about the Russian hacking of voting software and its efforts to disrupt dozens of local election systems ahead of the 2016 election.
“Our country was attacked by a hostile foreign power,” The Intercept quoted Grinter as saying at the press conference.
“Our national healing process cannot begin until we forgive our truth tellers and begin the job of rebuilding what was taken from us: election security, accountability for those who endeavor to undermine our democracy; and safeguarding the American right to government by and for the people. None of this can begin in earnest while we are still punishing those who tell us the truth.”
The petition states of Winner, 28: “Her continued incarceration is costly, unnecessary to protect the public, burdensome to her health and wellbeing, and not commensurate with the severity of her offense.”
Trump called Winner’s sentence “unfair” in an August 2018 tweet attacking then-attorney general Jeff Sessions, describing her actions as “small potatoes” compared to what he alleged his 2016 opponent Hillary Clinton had done with classified information while she was secretary of state during the administration of Barack Obama.
A three-year state department investigation cleared Clinton of any wrongdoing in October 2019.
Winner said of Trump in a phone interview with CBS News from Georgia’s Lincoln county jail in 2018 that she “can’t thank him enough” for the tweet, which she said confirmed her lawyers’ view that the sentence was unfair.
The Department of Justice did not immediately return a request for comment from the Guardian on Monday.
ReplyThis might be the vodka talking but can we have a couple short shows a week of Colbert and Tapper just shooting the shit?
ReplyThe GOP = THE TRUMP LIES
ReplyThe main problem with the GOP is that conservatives (Republicans) are terrified of everything. Spineless paranoids.
ReplyI love John! He is uplifting every time.
ReplyWho’s paying for the “audit” in Arizona?
Replycompetent, moderate, and boring sounds great to me. fun fact, my wife feels the same way.
ReplyHow can a political party need approval from an ex-president? Are their families being threatened with mob violence?
ReplyAnd if the current Arizona recount team doesn’t find evidence of fraud, they’ll hire someone even crazier that will.
ReplyThank you Jake Tapper for being Jake tapper.
ReplyIt’s not a gamble. Gambling is when there’s a chance it will work. The only thing hope Republicans have for taking power with their complete absence of policies is cheating. Sane people can no longer win a Republican primary, and frothing wackaloons do not perform well in general elections.
Reply“Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs” is the GOP.
ReplyI believe the new G Q P wants to use Trump, so they will have the power. AZ is just a smoke screen.
ReplyJohn don’t be a West Coast “HATER.” WILL not be watching Cobert ever again bc of of your comment.😞
ReplyIt’s called Consequence Culture.
We better get a move on prosecuting these treasonous Trump & Barr crimes!
No “steal the vote” like in 2016.
ReplySecure free & fair elections for all eligible US Citizens & have them count equally. No more electoral college erasing 8 million votes!
Simple and straight forward. CROOKS! THERE PROOF IS IN THE LIES.
ReplyLove me some Stephen and Jake😃😍😁
ReplyJon Batiste is fresh air and sunlight.
ReplyAnd to think years ago I found his contribution to the show to be…..offputting? I was just projecting my own unhappiness to be honest. Now, I love the guy.
I highly recommend looking up his NPR interviews with Terri Gross on Fresh Air. Just a full HOUR of infectious creativity and positivity. Try to be in a bad mood while listening to their interviews…..
Who’s gonna take #45’s place when he’s gone from old age? Because goldfish memories…all those against #45 will all be back to voting for the party again as if the party’s views had changed.
ReplyPlease tell me how the west coast energy is different- I assume so, NY to California- I’ve lived both / curious on your view . Ty
ReplyJake Tapper deserves a Pulitzer for his journalism, separating fact from fiction. And for using fiction to illustrate the facts. Bravo!
