T**** Is "Like Houdini," But He Met His Match With The Jan 6 Committee - Rep. Jamie Raskin

- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2022
- In the final part of his interview, Rep. Raskin likens the former president to a mafia boss, who often succeeds at evading prosecution but could be taken down by the Department of Justice and the investigative work of the Jan 6 Committee. #Colbert #JamieRaskin #RepJamieRaskin

What is more heartbreaking than losing a child? Stephen broached the subject with Jamie Raskin sensitively and Mr Raskin shared that most rawest of emotions. These are the people America needs, not the monsters that it’s had recently.
Yes, you could see Rep. Raskin experiencing every emotion while Stephen was preparing the question.
The contrast could hardly be greater.
You have people like Trump, Hawley and Cruz, getting up on stage, putting on an act and talking crap, knowing full well that they're talking crap to a bunch of people dumb enough to fall for it all. They have little self-respect and zero respect for their followers or their country. They all seem to be Republicans.
Then you have real people. People who have real courage, integrity and respect. They all seem to be Democrats and I say this as someone who's never even set foot on US soil - I'm a Brit.
Taylor...thats your best shot???🤪
@Robert Taylor Robert, is he hiding? Running away?
If he done something wrong: arrest him, try him, convict him, jail him.
Now if you are saying this because of something political - Stop.
If you are under the impression that people should be arrested for doing something wrong what about all of these insurrectionists, DT, or even the Republicans who have wasted taxpayers money by tampering with election equipment?
Is criminal activity only one sided?
Otherwise STFU.
That's why his hair is so unhealthy, because he lost his son. He wasn't eating. He wasn't sleeping. Yikes that's real suffering....
His brilliance and massive breadth of knowledge in his field, his kindness and compassion, the job he took on while grieving a son who took his own life, and the joy he shows when he talks about him, along with his passionate and intelligent take downs of idiots on the house floor are just a few of the reasons I love this man.
He served his country in a time of grief. That is a true patriot. 👏
@Robert Taylor Irrelevant, generic trumpet deflection.
@Robert Taylor Brainless comment.
Would make a great president.
@comebacktous etc
well said.......
I really respect congressman Raskin. The incredible strength required to perform some of the most demanding assignments of his career just days after the loss of his child is awe inspiring. I am certainly inspired by him.
Yup, with ya on that one!
Same here!
He must really love this country 🇺🇸 That’s right, we are taking our flag back!
I became aware of him during the impeachment hearings he was riveting. He's my favorite congressman I always love to hear him speak.
No one faults a grieving person for being a little selfish, yet here is Raskin: giving, even when he could be taking. For his country. That is the core of patriotism.
Stephen did a fantastic job with this interview of an expert in his field of work! The people of Maryland elected the right guy for the job.
As a native of Maryland, they sure did!
I hope they will elect the right guy for governor this year.
@@brianag9726 maryland should be proud... too bad OHIO. ISNT IN THE SAME FRAME OF MIND WE NEED MORE JAMIE Raskins...
@@kathybumgardner4773 my poor dear Ohio😭
@@robinboroda7909 ohio is for trumP / putin /GOP TERRORISTS.
Jamie Raskin would be a wonderful president.
So humble after so much grief, he's just brilliant and a true leader. Thanks Stephen for all you do as well to make us laugh through such horrible tragedy.
Wow respect level for this man just went way up .. I was already impressed with the committee work he is doing , but knowing his struggle and how much he cares about this country , is incredibly touching . People keep tossing the word patriot around a lot lately and often it’s attached less desirable people .. I think it should be used for people like Mr Raskin .
We need to take back patriotism. #RealPatriotsDefendDemocracy
@@UkeCan1 Yes, not by labeling ourselves with the word, but by living it the way he does.
@@chezmoi42 Both though. We need to take back the *word*. The other side has owned it while being completely anti-patriotic. We have to use the word and back it up with integrity to take it back.
What a great example of someone who values service to the people!
Yes, you're so right. Rep. Raskin is honest and takes his position in Congress seriously. He's great.
Jamie Raskin is such an admirable person. Hands down the most intelligent, compassionate and honest people in politics today. We are fortunate that he saw his purpose after such a life altering tragedy. Even through awful grief he endeavors to protect us.
It is people like Rep Jamie Raskin that makes America great. Thank you Mr. Raskin for being a great American. My humble salutations!
Only if voted in by people like you 🙏

Raskin is a legend, and just the kind of politician the founding fathers had in mind for their constitutional republic!
@@LD86 Um...no. Hes a buffoon.
The courage, grace and passion embodied in this most intelligent man is breathtaking and awe inspiring. Thank you Rep Raskin for fighting on the front lines for our democracy.
Stephen did such a great job asking the most difficult question.
God bless you and your family Jamie 🙏💛
I will vote for you if you choose to run for president 💙
I'd like to see Raskin as Speaker of the House rather than running for POTUS.
@@rejoyce318 l like this idea too. Speaker first for a few years. POTUS in 2028.
Wow !! Bootlicker on steroids!!
Love that Man of Courage, Knowledge, Love, Wisdom, Compassion and Truth - Congressman Jamie Raskin.
In these insane times, it's a treat to be able to listen to an intelligent conversation
Raskin's story touched me. My dad told me that when my mom died he took it real hard. His boss at the time told him he needed him to work overtime and had him working every night. They really didn't need to work overtime, the guy kept him busy and he made extra money as well.
I'm truly sorry about your mom. Here, just to be clear, Speaker Pelosi Did really need Jaime Raskin. He was the man for the job, his experience, temperament, and wisdom were what was needed. (it wouldn't have worked to have Schiff lead it again). She would have chosen the best person possible and she knows them all really well. She knew he'd be able to do it-Constitutional law and the country it was written for are his deep passion.
@@Laura-kl7vi Thanks, but my mom and dad are gone. I'm 63. The point was he had a good boss to keep him distracted with work. Even though he just worked in a factory.
Congressman Raskin, I'm so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine the pain you're going through. I pray for your son Tommy and I hope the pain of his loss heals and please remember, his memory will live on not just through you but through all those he's met and influenced. Rest in peace Tommy as you're loved and cherished by many.
I think Raskin is nonreligious. I haven't seen him specifically say so (career suicide still for a politician), but he's heavily involved with the freethought/humanist movement, including making appearances on their podcasts and such. He has said he is a humanist and refuses to answer questions about belief in god. He also co-founded the Congressional Freethought Caucus which was "established to promote policy solutions based on reason and science, and defend the secular character of government"; iow to defend secular democracy (which our founders explicitly created: the world's first openly secular democracy) from the christo fascism that has been growing on the right since the 70s.
@@dHolbach77 what I said has nothing to do with God, Politics, or whomever you or they believe in. It's only a gesture of good will to someone who may be suffering from the loss of a loved one. Please don't try to analyze my goodwill to someone through politics or faith. My comment wasn't meant for those like you who don't see my goodwill towards others but to those who may be suffering as well.
I wouldn't like to go up against a father, doing justice for his late son. I'd watch out 😬
Best comment!!
@Robert Taylor lame AF
Deepest Condolences.
Somewhere with yo momma!!!
@Robert Taylor where's, dummy
The last two minutes of this interview are a splendid example of what television interviews can be when two highly intelligent human beings are not afraid to open their hearts to each other and their viewers. Stephen Colbert‘s approach and Jamie Raskin‘s answer were very special and they seem to have come from the same place. Thank you both, gentlemen.
I'm a huge politics nerd. Congressional hearings are my sportsball games, and election night is my super bowl. Over the last couple of years, Mr. Raskin has become one of my favorite players. His compassion, intelligence, and dedication to service are evident in everything he does. And in my opinion, he is the most eloquent speaker to grace *either* house of Congress since Mr. Obama left the senate. The committee was wise to reserve him for the 7th hearing, when they needed to establish the close connection between the loser president and his army of far-right extremists. He slammed it out of the park with his closing remarks. I cried like a boomer dad at the end of _Rudy_.
You seriously need to get a life, if this is your main source of entertainment. You also don't understand our political system and how it's suppose to operate. As the panel is chasing Trump 100s of thousand illegal immigrants our pouring in our country, inflation out of control, gas highest ever, food crazy. But you keep watching your show
@@georgepinger1958 Stop...just stop.
@@georgepinger1958 that tells all about you, loser, nothing about Jane. we should fight for truth, equality and justice. not yell at each other. love
@@whitehouseplumber No, tired of people dividing our country, Trump is just as guilty. If we don't come together we are doomed. You people put the on a pedestal
@@georgepinger1958 You must be an absolute joy at parties, bud
Thank you, Mr. Raskin. We are so lucky to have you.
Said by Noone ever
What a lovely man Mr Raskin is . The world needs more of his sort .
Jamie Raskin is admired and will be even when he is gone. A scholar who gives himself to educating others through his love of people. As a British person I had no idea he had lost his son and so close to the impeachment trial too. That he was able to do that while grieving is remarkable and if there is an afterlife I would bet that his father and his own son were looking down at him with pride.
There most definitely is an afterlife sir. Your comments are beautifully said. 💕
Very nicely said!
As an Australian, you’re very lucky to have a man like Raskin in a powerful position.
American citizen Thank you for your comment.
Absolutely agree mate, as an Australian I’ve watched this closely because Trump is simply the most unsuitable person to hold any office let alone President of the US. I could only wish that we had people of such character and integrity in Australian politics…..😉
@@SidewaysSurfDrinksHQ 💯 agreed!
He seems like a solid dude.
God bless Mr. Raskin! How fortunate for the US to have this brilliant man serving and helping save the country. I sympathize with the congressman on the loss of his son.
Love the passion of Raskin and now I console with him for the loss of his son. Praying he gets to the T...op!!
Raskin even looks like a founder. What a legend.
I know! All that’s needed is a powdered wig.
Okay, I love him as much as the rest of you ... but what exactly does a founder look like?
@@UkeCan1 check out the portraits of the time
@Eclectic Muse
I was thinking that too.
For some reason I picture with Jamie with a powdered wig and knee briches. I've never felt that way about any other politician.
Maybe he a reincarnation of one of the founders!
Two of the most remarkable people in the public sphere today. Colbert is able to work on such a range of levels. Amazing work. And Rep Raskin is a moral compass for the Congress as well as a brilliant and compassionate thinker.
Congressman Raskin should be an inspiration to all people wanting to run for office and making a difference in America for the better. Thank you .
Pure class. He’s who the party needs in 24.
I’d vote for Jamie. I’d like to see Jamie run in 2024, or Pete Buttegieg, or Beto ORourke. I Like Joe Biden, but he really is too fucking old.
I hope he gets trapped in a Buffalo NY snowstorm
Sending Aroha to Rep Raskin, and all the people working for Justice on the January 6th Committee 🌻❤🌻
What a tough guy! Condolences to you and your family sir. Good interview Stephen! 👍
Very good discussion by a true old school man with a heart of gold for his country and son.
The sweetest words I’ve heard in 6 years: “He’s met his match.”
We rarely get to prosecute the "Kingpin", and I just hope this time the justice system works.
It won't, this is just my cynicism talking.
Mr Raskin's more-than-once reference to Trump as a crime boss is, in my opinion, the precise metaphor that best describes him. Al Capone was a celebrity during prohibition in the 1930's, and Capon succeeded in his criminal enterprises by the corruption of public officials at all levels. But, there were people who relentlessly pursued justice and the law and Capone was caught and he lost.
It's not a metaphor.
@@sv8911 Indeed. Be on the lookout for some RICO charges.
I have nothing but great admiration for Rep Raskin. He's not only brilliant and moral and fair, but he's also brave and has a huge heart. HE is the kind of man we need in the White House.
Jamie Raskin needs to run in 2024! He’s the President we need. A man of conscience and character!
Absolutely 💯
I wish someway we could get him to run for president...what a great one he would be..!
It will be difficult to gain "the president we need" with tens-of-millions of American voters preferring to have an authoritarian "strongman" leader proclaiming we're a "White Christian Nation," with diminished rights for those who fall outside the accepted club.
he would be great as POTUS but he's hugely valuable where he is. I can't imagine him sitting in the OO and not itching to get out and discuss law and defendthe Constitution against the hypocrite GOP
This is what a good man looks like.
Just another corrupt pos
I wouldn't want to be Merrick Garland at all. I think we need to understand the severity and weight of every decision he makes. He knows what is at stake so I feel like we should give him that space. But man oh man I love Raskin, he's been through so much but he's still fighting 💕
An articulate, passionate, gentleman.
He is an amazing human. Great interview.
Full of humility and warmth, yet also passionate and brilliant. He shows his heart too. He is so human (in the best way possible). Maybe that's why you said it that way.
What a great interview of a great leader our nation has in Representative Jamie Raskin! Thank you for your wisdom, your tenacity, and your love for America!
Wisdom and tenacity: that's a rare pair of traits or talents. Good call!!
This is the first I've heard about Rep. Raskin's huge loss of his son. My sincere condolences, Rep. Raskin. I agree with you that staying "busy" is life saving. So thankful you took up this cause and are working for our countires democracy's survival! Thank you!
I just hope that the arc toward justice succeeds before we are all slaves of a fascist state.
I can't even imagine losing a child like that, then trying to function afterwards at such a high level of responsibility. He's a hero! I am so thankful he picked up the mantle to hold those involved in the attack on our Democracy accountable. He's doing a great service to our country & I thank him very sincerely. He has a LOT of support from Americans out here in the "Real World."
Thank you for so eloquently expressing what I think/feel about Jamie Raskin. Spot-on.
Another outstanding interview. Powerful words from Mr. Raskin.
This man is a legend in his own lifetime. I'm from the UK and I wish more politicians around that world are like this man
Jamie Raskin is one of the best and brightest members of Congress, and there are many more like him on the Democratic side of the aisle. We need to support them and vote for them this November and a blue wave to overwhelm this propaganda about Republicans taking over Congress. We need to defend democracy in the US now or it will be forever lost!
Us Kiwis thank you for your strength and fortitude during Humanities trying times. We all need to fight the good fight for true Democracy, Human Rights and strong Democratic Government. All our Children need your inspiration and strength. Slava USA and Ukraine.
GOD BLESS Rep.Raskin We Thank U n Honor U for Ur Hard work for our Country n our Democracy...
I wish Stephen had asked about the traitors in Congress who continue to propagate Mag-A-Lardo's talking points.
You could do a whole program on that alone....
Me too
Jamie Raskin: what a kind, loving, generous of heart, articulate, compassionate, wellspoken scholar. We are lucky to have him in Congress.
He’s working his ass off for Tommy Raskin. And boy is Tommy looking down so proud of his father
Jamie Raskin is a hero of mine. A true constitutional Patriot. Thank you on behalf of America.
J Raskin is one amazing guy …… Big shout out to Jan 6 team from Australia…….
Why can't all of our government representatives be like Jamie Raskin & Liz Cheney. The Jan 6th committee are the kind of people our country needs.
@Saul Teanuts No argument there, Liz Cheney is a staunch Republican. She is the old school Republican, I don't like the party but I try to respect their seat if they merit it. She tried to support her PARTY & came to conclusion they were just as corrupt as the toxic Orange stain. I'm not one to forget all of Trump's atrocities so anyone that brings the orange scum down has redeemed themselves.
Greed is the reason
Don't equate the two. Cheney is openly anti-democracy and has been for decades. The *only* reason she is anti-trump (now, of course: but look at her voting record) is because she herself wants to be the dictator of a christo fascist regime.
She's nuts and dangerous and a monster: she has even accused democrats of voting for the right of women to execute healthy post birth babies ("post birth abortion"). Uh, that's not a thing in the sense of her appalling distortion: that a mother after giving birth just decides she doesn't want the child, which is perfectly healthy (or reasonably so) and so has doctors terminate it. That, uh doesn't happen and is rightfully illegal. What is the case is entirely appropriate and humane: that a baby which was born with severe physical/mental disabilities (in the sense of organs on the outside of its body or a brain not fully formed) or suffered debilitating damage during birth (say not breathing for several minutes or having its spine broken by twisting around too much, etc) and will die soon and suffer for no reason; in such cases a mother should have the right to have her child humanely euthanized instead of suffering and slowly dying while she knows it continues to suffer needlessly (which is pure torture for the mother and deeply inhumane to her).
Each member on the January 6 committee deserves recognition and our thanks for their work.
No because they aren't allowing witnesses to be cross-examined. That's a very very bad thing.
OMG a politician with integrity and compassion.
He has tommy in his heart. 🥺🥺🥺 Amazing that he has been able to soldier on, through such grief.
What a wonderful man.
Raskin is a national treasure & presidential contestant , hopefully!!!!
I love your show Stephen! Rep. Jamie Raskin is a ROCKSTAR! Thanks for having him on your show!
This is what a kind, gracious, compassionate human being with integrity looks like!
I would be so happy with a President Raskin.
I scanned the comments to see if anybody said what I wanted to say. Absolutely!
Jamie Raskin is such a good man.
Raskin for President I respect and admire this man
Lol Raskin out here throwing shade at NYC, I love it 😂
I wouldn't go up against a Mother or a father who just lost their son or daughter Me too Mr. Raskin Me too.
Congressman Raskin- my mother died before all this nightmare began. I hope she cannot see it from heaven because of her dedication to our democracy and righteousness at the centre of her Jewish values. You do us proud. Also Adam Schiff and Elaine Luria. Thanks for carrying on our commitment to the highest principles. You inspire us especially because of your willingness to fight back after the death of your dear son. What a great move by Speaker Pelosi!!
This is what courage looks like ❤️🙏🏿❤️✨️
I’m so sorry for the loss of your Tommy
Sincere condolences to you and your brave family.
God bless you and comfort you in this painful time
Nicely written comment!
Rep. Raskin made me cry when he talked about the pain of losing his son. I, too, lost a son and the endless grief stays with you night and day.
Breathe....big and deep...blessings
He's met his match. I'll believe it when I see Don-the-Con in prison....
@Commenter And then build an outhouse over the grave site.
Jamie Raskin would make a hell of good president.
Actually, he belongs on the Supreme Court.
@@MyFiddlePlayer That works for me.
Yup, if you want the same problems you have today that sleepy joe has caused.
Jamie's obituary for his son is beautiful and heartbreaking. It must be so painful to know you did everything you can but the power of depression in this case was an unyielding and mysterious force.
The book he wrote about experiencing J6 and working on the impeachment while grieving is a stone cold masterpiece. The first part is hard to read though because you fall in love with Tommy so his death hits like a ton of bricks
@@ammaleslie509 It may be too much for me in my current state of mind to read this book I'll delay getting it. It's somewhat comforting to see individual's like Jamie defending the simple democratic values which are the foundation of the US society. Let's hope his ideals prevail.
I love hearing Jamie Raskin talk about his son, Tommy, his veganism and other activism. I think he got Jamie to go vegan too so it makes me respect Jamie all the more. 😍
Yes, Raskin is a vegan
@@ammaleslie509 Thanks for the confirmation! ♥️ It only makes sense since he's such a justice-loving and compassionate person.
Oh my heart! What an inspirational man of honor! The respect he shows his son in remembrance of the good he was which leads him forward in his own journey is a great reminder for myself having lost my kind genius of a brother in the same way!
Awww that was so sad:( I’m sorry Jamie…. Thank you for all that you have done and will do
Jamie Raskin is so cool and brave and smart!!
Murdoch has abandoned Trump. Game over.
Which could be worse cuz who's that dude down in Florida
Yes. Sad but true that so many ignorant people in this country believe the people on that network because they’re not loyal to the country. They’re only in it for the money.
It will be game over when Hannity Carlson and Ingram abandon Trump's lies (expect a lot of claims of being misled) or when a prosecutor steps up to charge Trump with a felony, nothing short of that with break the illusion (unless the lawsuits against FOX bankrupt it).
@Commenter finish him...😁

A guy like that would get thrown out of the Republican party the moment he opened his mouth and said something rational and ethical.
This guy should be President
Jamie Raskin is a very wise and honest man, and he continues to serve our country well. I am heartbroken about the loss of his son, and I am truly inspired by his example. I'm sure he received great hugs from Colbert's staff backstage after this interview. Blessings to Rep. Raskin and his family. Thank you, sir.

Jamie Raskin for president!

Gosh, no dry eyes here. Deep good humans those 2 are
It's hard to imagine the dedication to morality and strength of character required of Cong. Raskin to keep doing his job, probably better than ever, after the death of his son. Perhaps he should someday run for president, as Biden did, only getting elected at a younger age than Biden finally did. I see in Cong. Raskin, not just someone of impeccable character but of passion to serve, perhaps to honor his son Tommy, but also to do the right thing with the time each of us has here on earth. On Memorial Day in 2017 in Arlington Cemetery, Donald Trump instead asked John Kelly, who himself lost a son in the military, "I don't get it. What was in it for them?" To ask that question of that man, of all people, makes Hillary's description of him and those who think like him as deplorable unquestionably accurate.
I’ve mush admired this man ever since watching the impeachment hearings. He ranks along side Adam Schiff as two extraordinary men.
I am and will always remain deeply grateful to Jamie Raskin for his courageous work in exposing Trump's crimes and conspiracy to violently overthrow the United States government.
I've come to respect Raskin so much and to have lost a son during the insurrection and still done his job. That is a patriot!! Not the ones that claim to be by screaming and holding up a traitors flag!
God Bless Jamie, your son's legacy has given you the strength to carry on and do such a remarkable job. His spirit lives on in democracy through you and all that's been done. Thank you
Jamie Raskin is a national treasure!
My sympathies go out to Jamie and his family for their deep loss. 💜🦋💜
I love this guy. He is always knowledgeable, informative and succinct and calm. I love watching the other side who has NO ONE who could shine Mr.Raskin's shoes. All they can do is throw shit fits and call names. Mr. Raskin I send you my condolences and my thanks for your service.
Wow! Raskin impresses me every time he speaks. But never more than this. One of the most important interviews you have ever done.
And my God, what a heart this guy has when he speaks of the loss of his son. He turns it into a celebration of his life.
Remarkable human being. Such a blessing to see after being inundated with the deplorables.
👏👏💙💙👏👏 Sen. Raskin, you're the best! So intelligent, so brave and strong. A truth-telling powerhouse. Please run for prez!
Stand up guy....
What a brilliant man! Loved the interview 💕
The last question was touching. Stephen knows how to pull the inner human out of anyone who has it 💜
Never forget Matt Gaetz and MTG attacked Raskin over the suicide of his son. That's the kind of people they are.
How soulless do you have to be to attack someone over a tragedy like a child's suicide...
