Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!"

We just felt like America deserved a turn at laughing at us.
Oh, don't worry you'll go back to laugh at us in November
how is becoming a sovereign nation again by leaving the EU something to laugh at?
Why wasn't the UK a sovereign nation again? Because they had to comply with overbearing regulations on their lightbulbs? Regulations by the which are voted for by MEPs you elect?
SoulRippster Even as part of the EU, the UK still controls its taxes, investments, developments, etc. In terms of law-making, all EU laws go through our elected MEPs, who've won 97% out of thousands. It's no less democratic than any parliament, i.e. we are pretty damn sovereign. Unfortunately, politically disengaged people were told that a bunch of old men in Brussels make our laws for us, and the fools in the country believed them - their vote boosted by the racists and xenophobes.
That would be justifiable on our part were Trump not one of the two primary candidates for president.
"Don't worry, we are sensible people here, it won't happen "
Well, that's exactly what I thought when Trump started running but now, I am scared.
When Trump announced he was running I thought it was a joke.... but now I don't know who is really laughing now.
+T Swag (ThanoricOfficial) hahah ya it terrifies me too
lol , the whole world is scared ! if that guy becomes president , there's going to be alot of chaos
+Ebinazer Samuel why is that?
+Dranksta see bro , clearly if U've seen his debates , and the comments he makes on important issues you'll realise that he's not fit to be a president !
I like how Stephen compares Britain going against the grain and voting to leave the EU to jumping the bandwagon and doing what everyone else does. Oh wait that makes no flipping sense Stephen.
It's been common in late night comedy shows, it seems, to take the remain side. There's a lot of ignoring the benefits that have come from the vote, such as the influx of attempts of forging trade deals. They're making the fallout sound worse than it is to guilt the voters who wanted to leave.
Britain alone also lost £255bn. In two hours. We were affected the least. Japanese stock markets crashed by 8%. Tell me, what benefits are in store for us? £350mn to the NHS every week? (That was a lie) More control of our borders? (Now our border in Calais is going to be pushed back to within England, so now we deal with them hear instead of in France) Are rising taxes and living costs a benefit, with lower wages? (An extra 3 pence per £ has been predicted for VAT, so now it will be 23% rather than 20%, which adds up) Is less scientific funding a good thing? Y'know, that industry that is one of the most important for the U.K.? Less university funding? Less agricultural investment? Less technological investment? Less foreign investment in general? The £:€ is at 1.21. Before the vote it was sitting around 1.32. Tell me again how Brexit has shown it's benefits.
I'm not going to even pretend I can counterpoint everything you've said. Economists predicted that there would be struggles if the referendum passed. But they're struggles. Not destruction, not an end of British society. The fatalism is strong in the fallout.
Nick Stice Struggles is a bit of an understatement, when we have lost more money than we could ever save by not paying into the EU. :/
What's the price of keeping democracy?
so now its wrong for people to self determine
yea, a bunch of bureaucrats in Brussels and Merkel should run the UK . what a joke . God bless Great Britain for taking their destiny back
so now it's wrong for people to say their negative opinion about brexit.
+rcdc Opinoin is one thing but Colbert thinks he's some sort of authority figure.He'a a lefty corporist arsehole and how dare he try and slander those who voted to bring back Britains soverignty.
British people I know who brexited are angry at being lied to. I doubt its a small number either. 1 of the major advocates of brexit resigned his position (Boris Johnson) and another admitted lying about figures on national television.
Daniel Marino-Austin Boris chucked it because he never had the support (of the majority) to win the Conservative leadership.And nobody lied btw because only the elected government can allocate funding for the NHS etc.I suggest you stop getting your information from TYT
This is foreshadowing for when Trump becomes the next president
yup
yup
Oh wow never seen media, propagandist, and liberals saying that before
D A M N T R U M P
Doesn't matter who will be President, we are all fucking doomed
Boy, England, you fellas are having a bad week. First the Brexit vote, then the Pound sinks, and now being beat by Iceland in the Euro Cup. Dang!
*UK
Yeah, well one was unexpected and the other was our football team sucking donkey balls.
not if Scotland and NI have their way....
@Connor Shea ...For now.
+Field Marshal Fry I am terribly sorry if I offended anyone in Scotland, Northern Ireland, or Wales. But. still it has been a tough week.
About a 1:40 in and I can't tell if I'm watching Steven Colbert or John Oliver
A good start: Does there appear to a talking puffin on the screen, making you question your recent food/beverage consumption?
...If that doesn't help, I'm sorry, that's all I got.
Uh you do understand that Colbert is conservative satire and Oliver is openly satirical of conservatives. They are going to sound the same because they overlap.
Aaron Slater bro i said they sound the same not solely because they talk about the same stuff, but because colbert was doing an impression of a stereotypical british person and it was hilarious
So where's the mainstream show satirical about liberals? I'd watch that one.
And that's not a good thing. :D
I feel like Stephen might be punching that Global economic meltdown card once again...
The easiest way to understand this is see the parallels between the UK referendum and your presidential in November. The same kind of anger that fuelled Brexit, is fuelling Trump. You are right to be worried....
Ye it`s called righteous anger. And there is nothing more to be worried about than any of those other slimeballs we call politicians. Actually probably less to be worried about.
Nose cut off, to spite your face.
bullshit. the anger is justified. look how clinton has jacked the democratic nomination. you are stupid to think clinton is going to be a good president. the ones behind the leave are tired of multi nation banks and corporate dicks. these will become the the only power brokers in the nwo. nations and ppl will be fucked. iceland did pretty damn well. britain can do the same. do i want a rothschild rockefeller george sores ran dictatorship? i don't maybe you do. i say good for england.
exactly. tht is wht has happened here in this country and wht they were planning for england. we have a tyrannical central gov. tht votes only as the rich international bankers and corporations want. all these tpp nafta fools.
+sharon anderson Don't assume you understand the logic (or ilogic) of the Brexit "Leave" voters. Vast swathes of them voted because of xenophobic anti-immigrant tendencies. Others simply have no idea what the EU is nor how the UK's membership of the EU works. They "wanted their country back"... Heard something like that before, perhaps? And they had no idea what a Brexit vote would actually mean. Even the politicians backing Brexit had (and still have) NO PLAN for what to do after a "Leave" vote.
I'm honestly so disappointed in my country 😭
I got till November before I have to be disappointed in my country and I'm sure I will be either way it works out
You'll be far more ashamed if a bloodthisty and moronic demagogue is elected to the most powerful single position in the country. :/
Let's all be disappointed in our countries together! :D
:(
Blame the old people.
NO! BLAME CANADA~
BLAAAME CANADAAA~
With their beady little eyes
And flappin heads so full of lies!!
When the BBC changed the cast of Top Gear I knew the end of Britain was near
What a bunch of spin and misinformation this was.
No it wasn't you fucking moron
That's all this worn out "comedian" does. HIs shtick was tired 10 years ago, I've no idea how he got this gig.
glad to see colbert is on the sensible side. uk leaving the EU is a fucking catastrophe. all the leave's campaign arguments are bullshit twists on reality.
How do you figure? What do you think happened in Greece and Portugal and Ireland and Italy and Spain then? Go ask the Greeks if its all bullshit and there no reason to leave the EU. UK won't be the last the whole thing is crashing down. I guess its complete bullshit that the EU deposed the democratically elected leader of Italy? I suppose the EU isn't starting wars in Eastern Europe and spoiling for war with Putin and trying to form their own army? None of that is happening at all.
It really isn't Scott.
Mastermachine100 I guess not, all the reports of 50% unemployment in greece and the multiple bailouts. Just a bad dream.
So because Greece can't handle it's own economy and finances, the EU is clearly an evil entity trying to conquer the entire world.
Mastermachine100 - Greece wasn't running its economy anymore. The EU was and they ran it off a cliff. They did the same thing in Ireland and Spain and Portugal and Italy. They never should have been part of the Euro and it was hugely destructive to them. Greece was 100 times better at running their economy than the EU was. The EU is an economic failure and a threat to democracy. Considering how authoritarian and anti-democratic it is its a blessing that its also an economic failure.
It's what the majority of UK people want, why not respect it?
Technically it was only 52% of the people who actually voted.
If you don't vote, you don't get a say. That's how voting works.
Because the "Leave" campaign was run on lies by Nigel Farage and his band of con men. Many people who voted to leave the EU did so based on these false promises, and many others voted to leave the EU as a protest vote against the current government. Not to mention, Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to remain which will now call into question the very existence of the United Kingdom itself.
3ly3lawy yes very good point, Brexit is literally Hitler
+Marshall Thompson it was 70% of people who voted and 52% of those wanted to leave
The stock market is not the economy.
And of all stock markets, Brittain's was impacted the least, and bounced back quickly
+Nick Stice does that mean its economy is shit now? I don't understand this as a response to the op
Nick was agreeing with Tera
I do tend to agree with myself, don't I
Nick Stice meant to say you agreed with tera
Overall, slightly less than 52% in the UK voted to leave.
However, 62% in Scotland voted to remain and 56% in Northern Ireland voted to remain.
If 52% comprises the will of the people, then certainly 56% and 62% do.
Seriously bro? Please do your homework on the EU, like, live here for a few years or something, before speaking out against stuff going down right now.
As a person who lives in the eu and has done their homework, I totally agree that leaving was idiotic.
* *
So you much rather stay under the control of a oversea government of which the top entity isn't democraticly elected and therefor cannot be held to account by the electorate, who have the ability to override your state sovereignty whenever they feel like it?
Its sad how many people prefer to pick pragmatism over principle. We must hold the knife against the EU's throat, and the only way we can do that is by holding the European Commision to account in the only way possible: Destroying their power.
except you aren't destroying their power. The UK has a trade deficit with the EU and has to renegotiate all trade deals. They will most likely not get better deals with a weaker economy and without the support of the EU. It's like a teenager running away from home because the parents spend more time with the younger siblings.
The european parliament IS in fact elected by the citizens of the EU every five years. Sadly most people don't bother to vote, I assume you are one of them.
They freed themselves form an empire, how is this bad?
the EU is not an empire it is an organization meant to help european countries achieve common goals. as with any coooperation it has obligations but also rewards. this is a step backwards for humanity as it shows isolationism and tribalism can still win over rational debate even in 2016. in fact, brexit is one of the biggest catastrophes in history.
Freed? They joined voluntarily, and they're able to leave at any time, how exactly are they not free as a member of the EU?
BadWolf HS
No control over their borders, they literally cannot choose what people are their citizens
RoScFan
"Rewards" what could they possibly offer that is on the level of making up for their lost sovereignty?
joe thiziznotreal The fact that they were able to vote to leave shows they never lost any sovereignty to begin with.
" Mom i can't believe you were alive when britain left the EU, what were you doing then "
" well children i was searching up memes and procrastinating "
just going to point out, the eurozone only grew 1% over the last 5 years, the UK grew 7.5% so who's the dummy? the people who cannot see the far right gaining ground across europe? or the fact europe is the slowest growing continent only beating antartica. PS look at the unemployment skyrocket in italy, greece, spain, portagual and france. Now tell me you would stay on this ship? reminding all the UK runs a trade deficit of $100 billion to the EU, on top of that they throw legislation, regulations and laws on us, and make us pay £18 billion a year to be part of the this piece of shit that we loose in trade i remind you all. Lets not forget how even when the UK isnt part of the eurozone it was forced to bailout greece, Portugal and republic or ireland after the 2008 finacial crisis. So tell me how has the EU benefited the UK at all? When are we going to see this money back? our tax payers money taken to bailout eurozone members that we denied the Euro.
Pssssst. When the UK grew it didn't grew OUTSIDE of EU, it grew INSIDE of EU. That's one of the many ways the EU has benefited UK.
Need I further mention the Good Friday Agreement, or how London grew as a financial center of EU? Guess what will happen to the financial sector once London is no longer in the EU.
Ah, already going for the personal insults?
Alright, you moronic shitstain of a human, let's do it that way, then.
After the Good Friday agreement both the ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights) and EU law are incorporated directly into the devolution statutes of Norther Ireland (as well as Scotland and Wales).
Guess what fucking happens when UK as a whole is no longer part of the EU, thus it doesn't follow EU laws anymore and worse, decides to get rid of the ECHR all together, you dumb, ignorant twat.
Furthermore, guess how nice and sweet a physical border will be right between Ireland and N. Ireland. Oh yeah, it's not like Ireland has any special relationship with UK, noooo, of course not. It's not like the Good Friday agreement required the British gov. to incorporate ECHR into Northern Ireland law, naaah. Far from it.
But your idiotic, simple mind has no fucking idea of these things or the ongoing and active programme meant to strengthen the bonds between the British and Irish as members of the EU and participants in the single market.
DON'T TAKE MY FUCKING WORD FOR IT, READ THE FUCKING AGREEMENTS AND LAWS, YOU USELESS PIECE OF SHIT.
As for UK's growth, you illiterate, retarded ape, the country's growth is heavily based on the financial services that it offers. London is the financial center of EU and its present state and growth has been due to EU's strength as a whole and the fact that under the EU it only had to follow one set of rules.
Guess what fucking happens when London's not in the EU? That "1 set of rules" goes to SHIT (much like your brain, you deflated cow), and UK has to make 27 fucking new set of rules FOR EACH country it trades with. Oh and they better do that in 2 fucking years too. What a fucking nightmare that'd be, just like your mom's face.
Certainly doesn't fucking help that UK has 20 (fucking twenty, shitbreath) negotiators. That's incredibly low. EU has 550. China said that if UK wants to negotiate trade deals it'll need 500 negotiators and about 10 years.
There's no wonder New Zealand offered UK their 40 negotiators. But it's not gonna be fucking free, that's for sure, no country will help UK out of the kindness of their fucking hearts. It's gonna cost, A FUCKING LOT.
UK tripped itself, fell down face-first into the concrete and of course everyone wants to help the poor, fat, RICH country, gotta grab a fat, chunky rich piece outta it now while it still lasts.
+jam th The Euro is wrong, but the EU is not, despite all its defects. You voted to leave the EU.
I lived with border control between the North and South of Ireland for most of my life, despite the historical close links between Ireland and the UK that have existed since Ireland first became a state in 1922 - previously it didn't exist as a unified political entity, and still never has. So yeah, ironically the British also gave Ireland statehood, but it's not something that leads to well-mannered discussion. I don't really see much need for it to change back the way it was (checkpoints, car searches, the works), unless it becomes a major point of ingress for illegal immigration - the UK is nothing but coastline so that's hardly an issue.
The expanded access EU citizens have to settle and work in other EU member states has only been in existence for around a decade, we're not talking ancient history here.
You talk about these agreements as if they're written in blood and can never be changed. International treaties and agreements are between two or more entities, with each offering something to the other or everyone simultaneously agreeing to someting so that none of the others benefit (like climate control targets). You can opt to break a treaty, and there will be repercussions, but if the repercussions are less harmful than staying in that's a decision that has to be made.
The share of UK financial exports to the EU has been dropping, because of the EU's moribund economy, which shows little sign of recovering while Germany is basically using the Euro as a blunt instrument to increase its exports within the EU. The fact is even with tariffs many within the EU are still going to prefer dealing with the UK, and there could even be an uptick in some of the, ahem, cutting edge services from entities within the EU, who have been using services from smaller banking nations - which is what it is.
I'm still on the fence over Brexit, but it really isn't the disaster it's being portrayed as.
I do find it ironic that the people who voted Brexit for purely racist reasons are probably going to be seeing a lot more "brown" faces if/when we, hopefully, open up more Commonwealth immigration to fill jobs in a burgeoning economy, while Europe sinks under a mountain of indebtedness to Germany.
You're right that no-one is going to help the UK for free, but that's an argument for getting out of the EU altogether because obviously being a member of the EU isn't a free ride either. Brexit will, undoubtedly, hurt smaller EU members a LOT more than it's going to hurt the UK. Germany and France are annoyed, Portugal, Spain and Greece should be terrified and the former Soviet states better hope they remember their Russian language. I could actually see a trade deal between the UK and Russia being one of the first to get signed, though probably not with May as PM.
On the other hand, if we re-negotiate with the EU and stay within the market, but with some restrictions on free travel and paperwork - and as Germany starts adding up what this is going to cost THEM, I can see that happening - then I'd be okay with that too. I'm getting old so I don't really relish chaos the way I used to.
Also, yeah, Northern Irish, so Irish passport any time I want, though, I doubt the EU would exist much beyond me having a reason to get one, if you see what I mean. ie any disaster that would make me want to leave the UK is probably going to start on mainland Europe, likely after the dissolution of the EU. If anything I'd be looking to New Zealand.
if i may but into a silly argument between people who spend more time insulting one another - i'm going to be very plane with you... The European Convention on Human Rights is not an EU agreement, it existed before the EU, it was done at both Geneva and Helsinki, as well as this, ITS RIGHTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED BY THE EU (do your research) - the British parliament has to give effect to the ECHR through the Human Rights Act (1988); this act is what guarantees rights, the Convention is just a suggestion, nothing to do with the EU, and nothing to do with the Good Friday Agreement! Learn the facts before making comments, as well as this, don't be so bloody naive to think the EU guarantees any rights, the EU takes away the right to self-determination - you need to grow up, actually understand that the ECHR is not the EU, Britain leaving the EU does not mean the ECHR loses effect, Switzerland is not in the EU and it is part of the ECHR, because it gives effect to them, the convention is a European collective suggestion for a bill of rights, not a EU legislation - Britain itself chooses whether to agree to the ECHR or not, not the EU's bureaucracy.
Also stop being a hypocrite, someone insults you, gets you mad, then you copy them! don't do that! As well as this. you claim the UK's growth is based on its financial services - now tell me, we offer that currently to 500 million people give or take across Europe... Did you ignore the fact that China, India, South Korea, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and more, have all requested free trade... meaning our financial services will be spread across way over 2 Billion people - that is worth far more than the EUs regulation, quotas and bureaucracy.
(Thank you for making me do a long rant, i love ranting to people who think that Human Rights are anything to do with the EU - sorry for any offence (which there shouldn't be to be fair))
We should blame the british elders who were the ones responsible for this disaster.
Will its also people who did not exercise their right to vote. The majority of the youth did not even vote in the referendum.
Stupid radical old people :(
And the young people, of whom apparently only like 35% voted. They're to blame too.
Exactly. Don't piss and moan the old folks didn't do what you wanted if you couldn't put down your vape, stop snapchatting for three seconds and get your butt out the door to do something about it yourselves.
Most voters tend to be uninformed idiots.
They are screwed .The EU is gonna make sure no other country tries this. They Will make an example out of them
It is exactly for the reason you just stated that many in the UK wanted to get out of the EU. The EU had noble beginnings but has now turned into a bureaucratic authoritarian quasi dictatorship.
They'll be fine. Who cares how much you paid for the last lifeboat off of the Titanic? The EU is a mess you should realize this by now. Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy.. pretty much all of southern Europe has been ruined by the Euro.
Good.
If the EU attempts to destroy the UK for leaving then it just confirms on every level why the UK voted to leave in the first place. Who the fuck would want to be involved with an organization like that? "I'm your friend, but if you don't do exactly what I say I'll smash your kneecaps". Great.
***** Yeah, I am sure USA wouldn't do anything like that if Texas decided to leave.
Do Trevor Noah, Steven Colbert, John Oliver, and Samantha Bee come up with a single script and then just share it with each other? Seriously, all four shows are literally repeating the same dumb shit.
As someone who happens to be from "the continent", Brits now seem like that one, totally cool guy you knew all your life. He was a total hoot to hang out with and by far the funniest person in the room whenever he was around. Sure, he liked to pick on everyone around him and acted like he owned the place, but he was so good with words everyone just assumed it was all black comedy. Until that one time someone actually tried to make a joke at his expense and he suddenly broke the poor sob's nose. And then you realized this guy actually genuinely hates everyone's guts. Call it the Jeremy Clarkson syndrome.
Americans being against gaining independence from an authoritarian superstate.
Now I've seen it all.
Well he's canadian originally. They never really gained independence from England. They're just "allowed" to run their own country.
supernova743
To be honest, I think he's just getting orders about supporting certain political causes nowadays. The show seems to be about 50% political propaganda.
Reaky, the EU does not exercise much power beyond immigration and economy, where they attempt to keep both completely free... Sorry to say this, but authoritarian states dont try to keep either of those free.
The EU is an authoritarian superstate? BWAHAHAHAHAHA Good to know the white middle class persecution complex isn't unique to my home country.
Well I'm neither white or middle class. But sure, why not just think based on hypothetical ad-hominems.
"Pound" pfffff more like a "ounce" am I right guys? lol
Bloody right you are matte. I cannot simply understand how this mardy mobile phone autocorrect feature works even if it could save me from soiling my trousers.
take your dad puns and go home
Could've fooled me.
for some reason i read this with a british accent
+Brandon Arena
That's the point...
_"I have friends that live and work in London "_ ... yep sorry but that says it all! For those of us not living in the London bubble things felt extremely different. I was genuinely shocked when I realised that the US wasn't taking this seriously. There again to be fair our own sodding parliament and PM had no idea too.
this was a kickback against globalisation, rightly or wrongly. And if the US thinks there immune to stupidity then may I suggest you look in the mirror at D Trump.
They're.
Most people in the US are looking back and forth between Trump and the Brexit and thinking "Oh, so we're not the only idiots in the world."
+Ted Culbertson ;)
I live in an area of the uk where 1000s of people lost their jobs just months before this vote... government couldn't step in to help save those jobs because of E.U rules! So why would anyone in this area want to stay in the E.U? Also, since this vote US government has accused the E.U of going after big US corporate companies... does Washington still think the E.U is so great now?
Yea Stephen, you are as wrong as your friends, but I doubt you will learn from them, you will think you're smarter and keep making jokes and mistakes till Trump becomes President. The pound is getting back to it's normal rate. Britain will be very fine!
Pound is not in normal state, you idiot.
Not even close lol. you must be looking at June 28 2015
Bro they just slashed your credit rating.
vox bosh theyre like a teen who just bought a Mustang under his moms name
Very doesn't go in front of fine.
I have Brexit every morning.
Savage lol
If you have a Brexit for longer than 4 hours, go see a doctor.
Most of London actually voted around 75% to stay in the EU. In fact, the older the person was, the more likely they were to vote leave, with 65+ year old's voting 60% leave, and 18-24 year old's only voting 27% to leave.
Jeez how hard is it for them to find a British actor to do a decent accent...
Hopefully it'll take England's fall to actually put some sense in Americans's heads.
Hopefully it won't!
HAHAHAHA
Englands fall? You kidding right?
All our sense is busy watching absolutely nothing change despite the vote. Democracy! wait.
You mean the EU's demise don't you. If there was ever a 'sinking ship' - it's the EU not the UK. We're getting all the EU's unemployed over here (in UK). The USA just doesn't understand!
The liberals are overreacting, Britain is going to be just fine
*****
And a lot of the should, the bureaucracy of EU is intolerable
Agreed. It will smooth out once everyone stops freaking out. If anything the EU will be hurting more than the UK.
(im liberal btw, so not all of us leftists see this as a bad thing)
OH yeah you clearly can see the future! good for you......
+Philly CheeseSteak Your implying that he's wrong, and that you can also see the future...
HollywoodHalla23 NO I cant. Why would you say that. I'm not sure whats going to happen either its just a lot more cons were thought up of then pros by officials. So im "betting" on that its atleast not going to look good. but thats one outlook out of many.
If the decision of one country about it's trade partnership can have such a negative effect on all the other countries, even those not in the trade partnership, then maybe globalization isn't the solution we thought it was, and the UK is just ahead of the curve.
Lets pretend its the year 3000. Im pretty freaking sure by then we are all dead because of war. or We are all working together because the ERA to have wars between one another is pretty much pointlesss and almost over. Ahem* globalization.
The short-term negative impact is mostly caused by fear, i guess. The market will recover in those countries who have less trade with the UK
I was referring to the ripples this one decision is having around the world even in non EU nations.
An argument can be had between trade partnerships that the EU began as in the 1940s, but as for political unions this EU experiment is failing by oligarch and fascist bureaucracy in Brussels.
"globalization" - don't use words you don't understand. Go to college. Tell one (any) of your economics professors about your thoughts on globalization.
Let me know how that goes. Not rly, I already know.
I have this feeling that the uk is going to do just fine the coming 30 years, and no one is going to admit they were wrong.
was good and still has clever jokes but is all propaganda now
thats the favourite argument of anyone wanting to dicredit someones opinion without saying anything substantial. you can be high and mighty all you want, but no one knows what the results of the brexit will be.
Yep, that's really true.
+Flavius Flav He was always Liberal, what the hell kind of Stephen Colbert shows have you been watching? Strangers With Candy?
*****
Or maybe now that he doesn't pretend to be anything else, you finally understand where he was the whole time?
Daskaar Right, *nobody* knows the results of Brexit in advance. And as Popcultureguy3000 said it, that is not foolish to say that since Colbert has always been (very) liberal and hasn't hesitated to show it and to express his opinions, which, isn't bad at all in itself, but it makes if fair for ppl to start questionning about Colbert's impartiality when it comes to certain (political) topics, such as this one. No offense here, just explaining why saying this could be propaganda is totally fair.
Britannia has cleansed itself, now its Americas turn.
Now if only they could cleanse their teeth.
It's a general rule of history that when people start talking about 'cleansing' nations it never ends well.
yes it has cleansed itself of reason and common sense. now america can rot as well so evil's reign may be complete.

Rightful? Most Americans are ignorant on global politics.
Spoken like a true crusader from the Middle Ages. Congrats.
i'm in london, and many are in outright refusal to give up their EU citezenship! probably because here is where a lot of jobs in finance are in jeopardy, and many fields are at risk of disapearing for the UK all together, as they were pumped by EU funding. many of the sciences are gonna have to jump ship somewhere else now. many are even more angry than upset, as after studying politics, i was always taught that a refurendum needed an absolute majority of two thirds of the vote, to avoid a divided nation...... oh wait.
Think its good for them. Who would want to have laws for them made by another country.
Uh oh if they break the laws are they going to jail? Oh no, they are just breaking trade agreements and losing all their influence and buying power. You're probably one of those guys who think the EPA, OSHA, and all those wimps in labcoats get in the way of making money too. I bet global warming is a hoax because it was cold where you lived once last year. Gotta love people who get the big picture!
"The Primacy of European Union law (sometimes referred to as "supremacy") is an EU law principle that when there is conflict between European law and the law of Member States, European law prevails; the norms of national law have to be set aside. This principle was developed by the European Court of Justice, and, as interpreted by that court, it means that any norms of European law always take precedence over any norms of national law, including the constitutions of member states. Although national courts generally accept the principle in practice, most of them disagree with this extreme interpretation and reserve the right, in principle, to review the constitutionality of European law under national constitutional law"
A trade union doesn't have a parliament, it's own commission that sets laws and a constitution. Who are you kidding, my friend?
+EccentricSM No, completely wrong.
The European court is currently the UK's highest court. Lets say I want to sue my employer, and it goes all the way to the UK supreme court and they accept it. The employer could appeal to the European Courts and have that ruling overturned by a judge that may never have even stepped foot on British soil, based on laws written by 28 unelected EU commissioners.
It's not a matter of breaking trade agreements, we aren't talking about trade here, we're talking about any law whether it governs trade or not that the EU has written, directly over ruling British law. This in the past has included preventing the UK from handing out whole-life sentences. Under EU law, you could murder half the country and regardless of your sentence the UK would still be required to review it to see if you were fit to release.
***** "I mean, Brussels does have the final word, b-but it's for the greater good, guys. It's only for trading."
Stop lying to yourself. They dictate your stance on open borders and migration. Is that only for trading purposes as well?

Freedom's worth any price.

Let's see... Didn't American colonists say things like, 'Give me freedom or give me death!'?
compared to those that gave their lives a little economic trouble is a bargain.
But you were already free, morons!

I mean Hilary needs to go to jail and all, but she did get about a million more votes than Bernie did...
+xhammy by playing her dirty tricks. DNC made sure there were closed primaries, less debates and people mysteriously disappeared off voting roles. Those are just a few of the things they did.
tbh man hillary won because bernie supporters registered as republicans to vote for trump to ruin our primary. Both sides got screwed.
+xhammy "Hilary needs to go to jail" is parroting what you hear on Fox, etc. Think, and listen. The Benghazi report proves that what you are repeating is inaccurate. Plenty of people have used private servers for work e-mail(admittedly a stupid choice, but not a criminal one). Just because something is repeated ad nauseum, this doesn't make it true. This kind of thinking, or not thinking, but repeating inaccurate statements, is irresponsible. To vote is a privilege, and a responsibility. Examine facts, not empty bluster.
I love it when people call others stupid for having differing opinions.
The pound was lower in february than it was after brexit.
I love salty liberals.
that's just spam, be original next comment!
See, I'm not actually mad. I'm definitely centre-left, and would've preferred remain, but this is fine too. See, the world was starting to think that isolationist, protectionist divisive, anti-progressive values would work.
Started to think anti-establishment was viable, that off-the-cuff bigots were a good choice. Now Britain will be an example as its economy tanks and it's forced to beg for access to the single-market all the while having to give freedom of movement anyways, without any seat at the table to change. Either the world is a better place, or you become an example for why I'm right anyways.
+PaulusCunctator people are lining up left and right. Noone is calling for isolation. stop screaming fire. "the facists of tomorrow will be the anti facists. "
Ben Crane But they are. These are anti-globalisation movements by definition.
Anti-free trade, anti-freedom of movement, anti-international cooperation. They're almost universally funded by nationalism, by the idea that they're 'taking their country back.' That's textbook isolationism policy.
Hell, under Isolationism the only entry for the UK IS THIS REFERENDUM.
Of course, in the UK's case, they just now realised they can't have border control and single market access. Plus they'll have to pay for it, and with them already having promised over half of the money that was going to the EU (and without getting 100m in subsidies each week to farmers and researchers), they'll actually be losing money, without sending any to the NHS.
I could either be happy, or I could be right. I'm disappointed, but not sad.
Well said
How did the U.K. not call for a two-thirds vote?
Supermajority voting rules are usually only applied in parliaments/congress/etc. and not on nation-wide referendums.
Also, supermajority rules are not very common in most countries around the world except in the US.
That's not a justification. It was a stupid decision not to impose any supermajority voting rules
Jakob Markus Why would that be stupid? A supermajority rule in the current circumstances would cripple the country even more. The Leave voters with 52% would not fucking take the rejection lying down and at best the UK will be forced to have another expensive and hostile referendum with similar results, at worst there will be widespread protests and public dissent.
There are logical reasons why supermajority voting rules are not imposed on referendums.
Supermajority rules are common in Europe when it comes to constitution.
The leave are happy they got their vote, the remain are crying because they lost. Fucking embarrassing..grow up and live with the decision. It's commonly known as " keep calm and carry on"
Or from the remain camp... " way wah wah wah wah wah wah ,"
I remember when the pound was almost parity with the dollar. In Portsmouth, it was reported in the local news that shopkeepers had startied accepting dollars from American sailors.Things recovered.
92 % of all voters registered for the referendum, 72 % of them actually voted, 52 % of them voted 'Leave'. So in fact the gigantic majority of roughly 34.5 % of voters decided about Britain's future. I'm truly impressed.
Anyhow, I am booking my tickets to the UK for a vacation now, thanks the British people
I hope you don't use the British Airways, would want to see sour flight attendants and pilots, sad with their state of their nation.
You're welcome
That's actually a good idea, cuz right now the dollar isn't as weak compared to the pound.
An I.Q. of "over 120" yet you don't know the difference between "there" and "their" or know how to spell "decisions", I sincerely doubt your claim, Rick.

Trump was always meant to get the nomination. Hilary needed to run against someone as hated and inflammatory as possible. Otherwise she would lose again.
She'll probably still lose anyway, she's just too corrupt to trust
You got it the other way round, my dear friend. Hillary is meant to be the next president but no one would vote for her because she is corrupt so she had a plan from the beginning. Trump is a family friend of Clintons (and that is a fact. You can look it up) and she hired him to run for President. Then she used her money magic to put herself on top of Democrat candidates and did the same to put Trump on top of Republican nominees. What she did not expect however was that Trump would get so much support so she made him say stupid things about Mexicans, Muslims etc... It still didn't work and she made him fire his chief campaign manager. This is the only explanation for why he keeps saying stupid things all the time and why he hasn't spent a single penny on campaign and has only 1 million left and 30 staffs left to his name.
***** I hope you are being sarcastic because the conspiracy that Trump is a Democrat plant has been going on for a long while now. I was skeptic too at first but ever since Trump made the suicidal decision of firing his campaign manager, I am convinced of this theory. He was in it just to make money and he has but he doesn't want to be president hence he is not spending any money on campaigning.
+Ashcool the reason you think Trump doesn't know what he's doing is because he has refused hundreds of millions of dollars to follow the agenda of globalists, and the media has attacked him and twisted everything he said, and have been consistently wrong on everything that happened to him. For example, his trip to Scotland was perfectly calculated, it was at the same time as the Brexit and it made history, Trump was a side story of every Brexit article all around the world because he was in Britain and had much more news coverage than Clinton. CNN tried to make it look like a badly timed business trip.
Trump is a nationalist just like Farrage and Johnson, and has massive support from the middle class and lower. Everything he does is calculated, and he has an unstoppable path to the White House.
Ashcool
The first mistake you are making is believing there are two different parties. The truth is the same money funds both sides and the goal of both is to maintain as divisive a stance as possible.
Trump was not planted. He was chosen and manipulated into joining a race knowing full well he would do anything, say anything, and champion any idea, that will result in his victory. Because Trump is Trump. And Trump wants to win. No matter the cost.
The Fake two party system will be free to pick a winner seamlessly behind closed doors without sparking widespread outrage because the population is being manipulated with the herd theory.
Any large group of people given an inflammatory decision will split it's collective opinion along a psychological fault line hard wired into human brains through millions of years of evolution.
As long as the population is split along these instinctual lines, no consensus can ever be reached. And the cycle continues. No need for a grand conspiracy. No need for a great evil in the world. Just power attempting to preserve itself in the vacuum of our own imagination.
If you want to see the world as it is, you simply need to follow the wealth.

I TRIED SO HARD TO CONVERT BREXITEERS. I woke on June 23rd, ecited to see that the remain vote had won. I checked my phone... I saw that Brexit... won. I cried so hard. Not all of us are idiots

He jokes about the peanut allergy one, but that's legitimately how we confirmed I'd lost it. Under medical supervision in a hospital waiting room, I gradually inhaled a bunch of peanuts.
Yes, it's funny when you say it aloud, but we were banking on the idea that I wouldn't suddenly collapse suffocating from my own constricting throat as my own body tried to murder me.
To be frank, I wasn't really missing much.

It's his show.

This segment was great up until the weird english lady.
When the £ was that low, 1985, Britain was in the EU! also they had the worse recession in living memory while they were in the EU, in 2008 the banks collapsed costing billions to bail out, Fishermen are losing their livelihoods because the EU let other EU countries fish British waters and then sell it back to Britain. It has cost £billions to bail out Greece (twice) and Ireland once. And would Americans allow open borders to Mexico so anyone could just walk in and claim asylum, would you allow a foreign court to over rule your supreme court? No? then why expect the British to do it!
The EU fishermen thing is bullshit, you can easily debunk it by 5 min. of searching.
Riko442 Like this you mean? news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1071781.stm
Sigh...
the link you referred to has nothing to do with the UK joining the EU and Britain was already letting other countries fish in near british waters before.
So many patriotic conservatives and isolationists wandering the comments... tell me how isolationism does in a world with ICBM's, a global economy, and global communications network...
American Isolationism during WW2 worked because there were no ICBMs at the time. There was really no chance of any attack on the American mainland.
Anime avatar.
Let us know when your balls drop and you have a job in the real world.
It doesn't only for the reason of world police. I believe the US should be the world police, but it should not come without compensation from allies. Canada, UK, the EU all are allowed access to "freedoms" however paltry they are by our own military and intelligence services. Time to start collecting the bill for such services.
No one is steering anything. Complete leadership void at the moment. So disappointed with the UK at the moment.
Mr Colbert, you really don't have a fucking idea!! HA HA HA.
I had to give you a thumbs down here Steven. The markets took a plunge on the day of the vote but have consistently been gaining since. Speculators don't like things like democracy and were scared off by the vote. The dive had little to do with who won. Remember everyone was predicting a "Remain" vote yet the market was dropping for weeks. Now that the vote is over and a path has been laid out the markets and the pound will recover.
It's not gaining, just yesterday they hit new low. read the news.
+Riko442 The pound and the FTSE 100 are both increasing now. Started yesterday.
and forecasts say it has an overall projected future of falling.
So, the global economy had a "loss" of over 2 trillion dollars over this Brexit ordeal... but can someone explain who we "lost" it too? I mean, did 2 trillion literally disappear from the several central banks/ treasuries? or maybe trillions of dollars worth of currency that was in circulation suddenly turned to ash?
um, can i just check; are you honestly asking or just trying to make a snarky comment? because i dont know whether to write a snarky reply or to actually try to answer the question.
***** LOL, its a little bit of both actually, Im just a medical student and numbers aren't my thing..Im actually completely ignorant in terms of finance/economy so I came up with a snarky way to ask my question..You are welcome to seriously answer it in a snarky yet informative manner.
Basically, the trillions of dollars didn't turn to ash, they just stopped circulating.
to make it very simple: think what happens if you just finished a big project in UK and got paid 3 million punds and the very next day no one will let you paid them with pounds any more. they didn't literally went up in smoke but close to that.
funny fact: (this wasn't funny at the time it happened but i guess it's a bit funny now) after WW2 the german currency plummeted hard. they printed too much money and devaluated the coin so much that the street were filled with bills. there is an anecdote of a wagon full of money in the street and some one just emptied the wagon and took it because the cheap wagon was more valuable than a huge stack of money.
If you buy a one of a kind Magic the Gathering card for 50,000$ but then two days later a new version of that card that is a common and now only sells for 0.01$ you've lost 99.999% of your value.
This is what happened to the pound; a lot of people who had bought British bonds sold them for cheap at a loss.
I'm sorry, when he mentioned the Cadbury Creme egg I immediately thought of John Oliver and sperm 😂
5:18- Perfect delivery!
He was actually funny on comedy central I swear
Lol Britain is falling apart due to Brexit and now America is going to too bc of Donald lmao
This is exactly me with my dutch pass port
Hey Stephen, LOVE the John Oliver impersonation. 1:26
Nice segment.
I loved it also that the public laughed normally a lot and cheered with moderation. That made watching this far more enjoyable than when the public always cheers :)
The value of the pound dropping isn't a sign that a they made a bad move, it's a sign that they a made a move.
Large scale change will never be smooth and without economic trouble.
I'm not even taking sides here. I'm just saying that people need to be realistic and understand what arguments they are making.
When someone says that Brexit is a bad thing because of the economic repercussions that are taking place right now, what they are really saying is that large scale change, in of itself, is a bad thing. If maintaining the economic status quo is the most important thing there is, then everyone will be afraid to do anything, ever.
I'm not saying that Brexit is a good thing. All I'm really saying is that we have gone from a species of men that at one time, many were willing to die for what they believe in, to a species that is willing to ignore a lot of shit as long as we don't lose money.
Take into context the entire history of the human species... Brexit is one of the mildest safest 'fights for independence' that has ever happened.
Freedom is never easy. Democracy versus autocracy.
2 days later and the British stock market is back to normal..
"You idiots."
Pretty much a perfect summary of the situation.
America should do a version of the EU with Mexico etc and see how that works out.
NAFTA?
We practically already do. The USA's federal government is like an EU with all the power, while the states are the equivalent of depowered European countries.
No, you don't. USA and EU are quite different. USA are federation, country with one nation. EU isn't even confederation consisting of several countries and nations.
Meaning what? I'm mexican and USA don't own us. We are not drawing you down, USA is dragging México down.
+ndoris rofl!!!! Mexico dragged down by america. lmfao! !!
Don't stress everything will be fine. We have gone through worse !!!
People need to get a grip and stop acting as if they expect RUclips comments to be "trusted sources of wisdom".
You should be more freaked out about your shows ratings
Stephen this is the wrong attitude to take towards all this, I would've preferred the remain vote, but accusing 70%+ voter turn out and 52% of the population (not few of which were labour voters turning against their own party) of being stupid is an undemocratic and destructive sentiment. I'm a Liberal and I can't stand the way people with my ideology feel entitled to deride others. If you want Liberalism to win elections you have to make it seem attractive, more attractive than knee jerk isolationism. Dismissing the opposition like this does only harm to our position, you've got to understand them to change their mind.
They voted to leave as a protest because they didn't think that it would actually pass.
Nice,England you jinxed yourself.
Nice try Colbert ...the world is STILL in awe over how many in the US supporting Trump, can't shift the focus no matter how much You try. Sweep Your own doorstep and all that..
+Daniel Danielsen He's done quite a lot of Trump bits already. The Referendum result is a recent event, so it bears touching on. Material on Donald Trump is already in trumps, pardon the pun.
Shift focus? He made a jab at Trump in this very segment.
nice try . world ? You mean outside US? want see zillions of trump jokes around WORLD?
The comments here. Oh god, it hurts.
I don't understand why none of the Brexit proponents complain about Cameron betraying them. He promised to request the exit of Britain at once. Now very few people seem eager to leave.
I don't think most British people took it seriously when they heard about the vote. The ones who wanted to leave were out voting in full force. The ones who wanted to stay either voted or thought it would never pass so they didn't bother. Well this is what happens when you don't take voting seriously. We need to make sure we don't underestimate Trump because if we do he's gonna win. And that would destroy our economy, we'd loose our jobs, and minorities would see i lose to their rights.
I'm from England and voted for Brexit but I think this was a funny show. He 's a comedian and he's paid to make people laugh. We don't get his show in the UK but I liked the show. Most British people left to vote to leave the EU because the EU is anti-democratic, not because we don't like immigrants. Most Brits can name the president of USA and know that Hilary and Donald are the next candidates. But no one in UK knows the name of the EU president, who the opposition is or even when the EU elections are held.
The EU president is simply a figurehead - a spokesman. Simply not comparable to the POTUS, who does have real power. You need to read up on how the European Commission works. They are simply unable to dictate legislation at member states..
"Simply s figurehead" - an un-elected, highly paid individual who has no powers and who can not be removed. We are turning the clock back 1000 years if we accept this un-democratic non-sense.
UNELECTED?
Do you believe what you're writing? How did Nigel Farage get his EP-membership? From the House of Lords or from the Queen?
I love the arguments for Brexit. I mean "stop hating on us because we did something truly democratic, it will be great for us in the long wrong" is such a great argument all the substance there, its hard to argue. Except that the people did a truly democratic thing (nobody cares) and voted to ruin their own economy with no actual plan. "We will leave the EU, now whats our plan?" That is such a mistake its not funny, its similar to jumping off the closest cliff without knowing how far down it is and whether there are rocks under the water. Republicans are screaming at Liberals because of similar arguments but the true reason is the immigrant problem. Republicans want to use this as a springboard for their immigration fight. Then we have Liberals who are arguing back without substance saying like look at how much the pound has dropped. ok? Where is this damning evidence that Brexit is the worst thing for the UK? There is a lot of words being thrown back and forth without any real evidence to back it up. Republicans and Democrats dont even know what Democracy is Liberals let their best candidate be cheated out of winning threw voter fraud and Republicans just dont actually care. So sad
The fact that the pound is the lowest it's been in 30 years (with an exchange of 1.21 with the Euro, and 1.34 with the US Dollar, compared with 1.32 with the Euro and about 1.42 with the US Dollar), the fact that after we leave, we will have less scientific funding, less agricultural funding, less technological funding, less foreign investment in general. Higher university costs, higher VAT (predicted 23% compared with current 20%), higher taxes, less funding for the NHS (unless they stick to their £350mn/week which the Leave campaign admitted was bollocks.), fewer trade deals with other countries, when there is a much larger, much more lucrative market in Europe (the European Economic Community).
If we want access to that European Economic Community, we will have to abide by EU laws anyway, except this time we don't get any say in them. We are likely to get a Norwegian-style deal with the EU, as the EU needs to make an example out of the U.K. as it should, which would be horrible for our economy but fantastic for the EU's economy.
Whatever the Leave campaigners do, they will be destroying the British economy. Whether it's trigger Article 50 and leave the EU, our economy continues to slump, or trigger Article 50 and gain access to the EEC, causing more economic troubles for the U.K. It's a lose-lose situation.
+Niall Carson see thats better. No one gives an in-depth explanation just arguing thats its bad and the pound is the lowest its been in awhile. Thank you
Joseph Moore No problem. I hate how this referendum was carried out (no supermajority rule, and no voting for 14-17 year olds (my generation)) and I'm doing literally everything I can, telling everyone possible of the consequences we face now. :/ It's ridiculous how a 90 year old has more control over my than I do.
You're asking for evidence that the vote is bad but aren't satisfied with the fact that there's worldwide backlash? The results of the vote haven't even happened yet. The UK leaving the EU will play out over the next two years. They still have to renegotiate trade deals and the EU doesn't want to give them favorable terms out of fear that others will leave. Meaning they'll probably have to pay a lot to get imports and pay a lot to export. Their credit rating was down graded. Companies are thinking of relocating to mainland Europe to take advantage of more open markets. Scotland and Northern Ireland may leave the UK. These are all huge and potentially catastrophic things that nations are mulling over and you're all smug that this is great because people haven't acted on anything yet? This could be the catalyst for some other city in Europe becoming a gigantic economic multicultural hub pumping money into the host nation. How the fuck do you not know what's going on but still have some arrogant high perspective of yourself?
14-17 year olds don't get to vote because they're fucking stupid.
*TRIGGERED*
