      Kinzinger says he thinks about 5 of the elected Rs in Congress actually believe it but they’ve decided to stick with the loser. Stupid people make plans, Seth says, and there’s the proof😂 The week after the 6th, the ones in office at the time were condemning trump and there’s lots of video, audio and eyewitness evidence that they were scared during the attack. Then some of those loud mean trumpers started pressuring them, including with death threats, and ol trump was polling at about 40%. Lacking any infrastructure such as a spine, they rolled over and turned on ... themselves😂. Now trump polls at about 30% and only 25-30% of Republican voters believe the Big Lie. If they’d just stuck with their rejection of the insurrection and the man who made it happen, he’d be a tiny dot in their rear view mirror.

      America's adversaries and enemies of democracy knew how important numbers are in neuro programming of societies (NLP). They knew how to harness the internet to make unpopular decisions acceptable. Fake accounts have been created, view counts tampered with, machine learning used to substitute for lack of English-speaking cyber soldiers, auto clickers used to bump the comments. IT specialist working for the govt did very little to nothing to uncover the way the internet has become harmful to democracy. Sounds like conspiracy theory?

    Hi Seth,
    Love the show. Long time watcher, first time corrector.
    "The Great Gatsby" is not set in the Hamptons. While, yes, it is also set on Long Island, the island is over 100 miles long. You suggested the book is set in the Hamptons, in essence the southeast end of Long Island.
    The book is actually set in "West Egg" and "East Egg", apocryphally the "Gold Coast" of Long Island, approximately where Great Neck and Manhasset are located (and the famed Miracle Mile shopping of today). This is almost the northwest corner of Long Island, on the very edge of what becomes officially Queens and your adopted home of NYC. May I remind you Seth, we New Yorkers took you in, gave you a place to do your "skits" and make your "satirical observations", and all we ask in return is the proficiency that any Regents-approved New York State fifth grader can exhibit.
    This might seem like an insignificant error to you, up in your empty ivory-tower studio, but in fact you are off by the entire width of your beloved New Hampshire.
    In your strive for excellence, or dare I say it, PERFECTION, I would hope for you to display greater geographic prowess than that. An apology, retraction, or the like, while only a mere token of the sorrow you should be feeling, should be scheduled post-haste.
    Good day, sir (if I can even still call you that).

    Unbelievable! Great segment. We all saw what happened that day. There is no way to hide it. Also being armed which we saw also doesn’t always have to be a gun. Anything that does damage can be a weapon. Seth Meyers, you are always the voice of reason adding your great comedic comments. I made it through the last four years bc of you. Thank you 😊

      Taskmaster is such an original show. It works because they have so many celebs that are actually talented and have great personalities. Where as all we have are a bunch of mush brain idiots who spend too much time in gyms with personal trainers.

      Surprisingly he has mentioned MTW once before.
      I feel like those might be his chill out shows. Given how much of his job involves being saturated by U.S. media and politics, and how many U.S. comedians and actors are his friends/acquaintances in RL, he'd have to go out of his way to 'disconnect' [for want of a better phrase].

    To NOT call it an insurrection was a bold faced lie!! If that's a normal tourist visit, I think I'll never be a tourist in DC because that's far too violent of a tour. What does the tour guide do? Ask them to re-enact the Civil War?
