- While Trump is troubled by a White House aides' 'resistance' op-ed, former Secretary of State and 'Every Day is Extra' author John Kerry is troubled that there is a need for one.

As a foreigner ... what scares me the most is the total lack of morality and integrity that GOP in congress shows. I've never seen so despicable behavior from politicians. ... that, and that 1/3 of the US population seem to live in a fact-free bubble where that's just totally OK.
Peter Mogensen you are not alone. 2/3rds of the country is ready to vote most all of them out of office.
Greed is a powerful motive, Money is truly at the root of all of this evil. That, and an absolute absence of a moral compass in the trumpublican Party. This nightmare will be ending soon. Count on it!
... the problem seems to be that the US founding fathers did actually expect an "insane and complete idiot" (or similar corrupt demagogue) to be elected. And they put in guards against that.
But they didn't expect a morally bankrupt and complicit congress.
Peter Mogensen absolutely right. I am a Canadian too but a permanent resident and this guy scares the hell out of me. Any rational person with any healthcare professional training sees this mans irrational behavior as deeply disturbing.
That total lack of morality and integrity is the result of decades of indoctrinating and cheating their voters - by this point generations of right wingers have been raised on nothing but lies and slander and hate for Democrats and minorities and indoctrinated to support only what is good for billionaires and corporations, never citizens. They're fascists. They no longer want democracy and while they can't imagine government ever HELPING people, they want the government to be on their side by oppressing other races with brutality. Trump is their avatar.
They have enough guns to take care of themselves.
Sweden here! I and many with me are totally flabbergasted and petrified over the ongoings in the US government!
Don't be flabbergasted. Be afraid. It's not just in the USA. Fascism is on the rise. If it takes hold, no one will be safe.
Those few outside the America who still believed the U.S being 'The leader of the free world' stopped believing it the day Trump became the Rep. candidate .
Spiritual Anarchist I can see why. We have a game show host for a president. He will be removed soon. The damage will take some time to repair. Corruption is rampant and is being confronted in the courts.
Sad, but correct. But we will still like you, once you have dealt with Trump and his cronies. Just don’t wait for too long! Greetings from Europe
Spiritual Anarchist -I agree with your sentiment, but Sarah Palin brought that notion on before Trump and George W. Bush created that same notion before Palin. It’s been a downward spiral since him, getting worse and worse with every GOP candidate.
The whole world loves trump.
Why do the Dems want us to feel as scared as a Jew in Germany in 1939? Is it because this Presidency is kicking ass better than any other in history?
We have a president who's there but he's not _"THERE"_ .
America's sad truth.
And you're all called this thing a president?? Of what? President of tweeter king 🐦
Please invite this orange thingy out to play outside
And keep him out! Lol
"There" should be a rubber room in a nursing home.
Speaking as a citizen, I think there are a _few_ things the United States has to do before we have _any_ right to be called "the leader of the free world" again.
First, we have to abolish the Electoral College and _finally_ start electing the president on the basis of the _popular_ vote.
Second, we have to fully embrace the Metric System. Seriously, this country played a crucial role in the _development_ thereof, and anyone who knows the Imperial System _and_ the Metric System freely recognizes that the Metric System is better. By sticking to the Imperial System, we are only causing ourselves undue hardship.
Third, we have to prioritize the taxation of the wealthy _over_ raising the national debt.
The fact is, this country has debt. This much is not controversial. The controversy arises when we start talking about how to _handle_ that debt. What do we do? We could _default_ which would completely devastate this country's credit.
We cannot, however, raise taxes on the _poor,_ because they're poor. By definition, they _already_ have next to nothing.
We can't raise taxes on the working class, because they're just one step away from being poor _themselves._ All the money from every working-class budget, combined, would not be enough to make a dent in this country's debt.
We can't raise taxes on the _middle_ class, because they're only _two_ steps away from being poor. Even every single penny from the middle class, the working class and the poor, combined, would not be enough to make a dent.
We could raise taxes on the _wealthy,_ but the political elite in this country won't _let_ us. They sell us this same old rhetoric about how higher taxes on the wealthy destroy jobs, despite a complete lack of historical evidentiary support and _abundant_ evidentiary support to the _contrary._
We're talking about individuals _so_ wealthy that they can afford multiple mansions and a household staff to maintain each, chauffeur-drawn limos, (in most cases) _yachts,_ (in a _few_ cases) private jets, and somehow, we are receptive to the notion that the reason they're not hiring is they can't afford to because their _taxes_ are too friggin' high.
If you are wealthy, but refuse to shoulder your share of your country's expenses, you have no business presenting yourself as a patriot; especially when you profit from the completely unnecessary expansion of the military.
Fourth, we are going to have to start teaching a second language in elementary school. Throughout the _rest_ of the First World, and most of the _Third_ World, multilingualism is the norm. Now I dare to believe that someone born in the US is not, by this act, _any_ less able to learn than someone born in any other country. If _they_ are up to this, then why aren't _we?_ And how much smaller would the world be if every single person in it spoke at least two languages.
Fifth, we are going to have to grant this country's public colleges and universities the exact same financial priority that we grant all of our public high schools, middle schools and elementary schools. The idea of spending your tax dollars to teach kids the most basic reading, writing and math in _elementary_ school is not something the average taxpayer objects to. The average taxpayer, likewise, has no business objecting to the use of their tax dollars to help fellow Americans get more in demand skills and go on to better paying jobs, bring in more money, buy nicer things, and fuel economic growth without having to worry about creditors; especially when the average taxpayer has no objections to their tax dollars being used for the _most well-funded military in the history of the world_ (no exaggeration).
Sixth, we are going to have to abandon this notion that healthcare is a luxury. Everywhere else in the _entire first world_ with the possible exception of Turkey, healthcare is a _right._ Now when the only two countries in the _first_ world that don't provide healthcare as a right are the United States and _Turkey,_ something is very wrong. This is not the kind of company we have any business keeping.
But of course, I'm dreaming. The United States is not this reasonable, and is actually making quite rapid progress _away_ from this kind of thing. 🤷
This should be recognized as the United States Progressives' manifesto.
Have you thought of running for public office? Because right there, is a platform worth fighting for. But then. I'm just a "socialist" Canadian.
Hey!....impressive! Thanks.
Lazy Perfectionist - I agree completely but would add one thing: downsize the military - VASTLY! We waste too much money on it. We believe we are the police of the world when, in fact, we are the bully of the world.
Very well said except for the learning a second language thing. That's an esoteric Pursuit that can be saved for something you want to do not that you have to do.
The scary part for me is if they succeed in getting Trump out, Pence will be in. I'm a uterus-owning individual and Pence is terrifying.
Ladies and Gentlemen, THIS was a truly smart American man
Was? He still is. He isn't dead hahah
Bravo Sec Kerry, Bravo! 👏
sulufest He just called the warmonger G.H. Bush a great man. Face palm
Nancy Mesek If he trashed Dubya he’d get crucified for being a “sore loser”.
The first Pres. Bush was the last halfway decent Republican President, not sure I'd call him a "great man", he was no FDR or Lincoln.
My library card will be getting a workout this fall.
Coleen Parsons trueeeee
Use the 25th on the 45th! If the GOP had any guts...
No they don't. They also don't have spines
The cabinet has to initiate that.
Use my 47 on any swamp creature removing my legally elected president.
@@rogerc23 yeah, very educated of you, ROFL, but hey, you have traveled to sooooo many countries and are so intelligent right 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅
Michael Whitted -- I don't really get the fear of Pence. He'd be a lame duck president after November.
Seriously I am from India and I am like what the hell and we see a lot of stuff in India so if it surprises me it's bad real bad.
Where did that "Q" come from and what does it mean? IIRC, appended by trumpettes, so LOSE IT!
Both of you, try some punctuation. It does have its uses.
you recall incorrectly. The Q means "queer" (or sometimes "questioning"), and it's a blanket term for other sexual orientation or gender identity minorities not covered by the LGBT part.
Colbert is officially a silver fox 🔥🔥🔥
This man is a true gentleman and can speak a full sentence without sounding like a toddler. He even looks like a president, not like the orange clown
Oh well if he LOOKS like a president. Why not just get a robot? It can be set to pander to you every day and make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Frank Maclow ...thank the GOP for thwarting his campaign for President against "W" who was a Trump-like idiot (if you're not familiar with W's performance, watch the HBO comedy special by Will Farrell, it's hilarious and true to life). They said his heroics in the War in Vietnam were vastly overstated or even false. A clear attempt to divert the attention from W's Vietnam War experience: W was in the Air National Guard and never left the base, just goofed around with his buddies who were also privileged and had someone on the "inside" to make sure none of them saw combat. The GOP hammered Mr. Kerry claiming he couldn't stick to a decision, that he was a "flip-flopper", both outrageous lies! But, what else should we expect from the Republicans. 😒
@@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessr when someone becomes a president, he transcends the person to become the representative of a country. So yes, the look is also important. a president with orange skin, yellow rings around the eyes and a fucked up hair style can't be taken seriously by citizens, allies and enemies. When you look like a clown, you are treated like one
Well he won because he was different from Obama. People were sick of the emptiness. I guess they were tired of robot presidents.
@@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessr I agree, people are tired of the establishment. Politicians work for their donors, not for the people. Obama and Kerry are no exceptions...but the clown promised to drained the swamp and it's worse than ever. Private insurance companies, pharmaceutical, coal industry, NRA...are happier than ever
I met Kerry last year at Rome Airport, great guy with a cool presence! Should have been President.
I hope he will run in 2020! I'll campaign hard for him. People only complained je was "boring" or Mormon or an intellectual. No scandals!
Preach Mr. Secretary, Preach!
Stephen has exactly the same beard as Jon Stewart. I love it.
and i just wondered if stephen spent his vacation on jons farm and caught beard. maybe some cup was not really clean...
Stephen either has to stop dying his hair (it's really gray), or start coloring in his beard.
Frank Reading ...It's gotta go.
The comment section here is very reassuring! Please keep voting, America - it's good to see citizens participate in and care about their democracy and its health.
Love John Kerry, wished we had A great man like him running our country, we can do so much better than what we have now. Vote in November for your life and others who don't get to vote!#fightclub
Kerry has it right. I'm a Canadian (though I lived in the US for many years). For the first while we could laugh at Trump (it was so easy to do). Then our ridicule began to turn to disgust and then anger, and now it truly is fear (Woodward has that title perfectly), now that we realize that that stands behind us and Trump doing whatever the hell he wants is a few brave souls like the one who wrote this op-ed.
Whoever wrote that Op-Ed isn't brave. They're a coward, and every bit the conniving crook that people like McConnel and Ryan are. They see a president who is clearly mentally unfit for office and decide it's less "messy" to try and puppet him to achieve their conservative goals for as long as Congress enables him (or until they slip up & Trump starts WWIII) than to do the responsible thing and have him removed.
The question is not who or why. The real question is why aren't more of our elected & appointed officials responding to protect the mandates of our Constitution, written to protect the people, all of the us, #US. We are the legitimately legislated owners of the benefits, rights and responsibilities of good citizens. Wondering who and why misses the point. The point is what's being done to & for all Americans, both out front and hidden in the back.
The beard will one day jump off Stephen's face and run free for its next host.
I lol'd
Beard symbiote!
That was brilliant.
Perhaps the Beard aspires to Gandalfian dimensions. . .
Or maybe he'll just give it back to Jon when he's done with it. :P
What a neat and decent gentleman.
I can see why they might wait for more evidence so they can properly handle this 25th amendment on Trump but real adults go public and stand up in court no matter what the cost to themselves
A slightly irrelevant comment but John Kerry has great skin and hair for an older man.
Agreed, he's sexy intelligent!!
You got a Kerry Crush!
It is as inappropriate to comment on the appearance of a man as of a woman.
He looks freakin WEIRD and I mean 'lots of work done' weird. Call me inappropriate all you want.
Botox, filler, et al... He looks like a muppet. But who cares really? Judge people by their character.
A re-make of UK's Yes Prime Minister US-style. Hope it's only a one-season wonder.
Hacker was not entirely incompetent. By series 2 he began to occasionally get one over on Sir Humphrey. Also, despite being a coward he was not entirely devoid of conventional morals.
Nigelz Tay Hacker was at least worried about what his electorate thought of him. Trump cares about himself only.
Not exactly a spoof of what this White House has been. But a laugh at the caricature of a bumbling leader in Government and being undermined by surrounding aides.
What did they say to each other in the beginning? JC: "Wababbabbab.", SC:"Wabbab!"
I like Stephans beard - it makes him look like 20 years older and that is exactly the time I feel Trump is in office :p that's comforting and makes me feel like I am not going crazy over this sh*t.
The president is there but he's not THERE.
Oh trust me, we in Europe, did know this is going to happen. It was so clear! We are just surprised why you guys didn’t know?
If Mueller finds the evidence and puts Trump away he may well be one of the greatest heroes of our time
Rip
I’ve never been so ashamed as a citizen. Can I get my tax back because I'm not satisfied? How can we make America PROUD again??
Stephen Colbert has a beard?!!! But still... that old man sure knows how to connect with young people. He's awesome =)
Seems that Omarosa Manigault Newman wasn't wrong as demonstrated by that insider op'ed, Bob Woodward's book, and her own "receipts". Unhinged indeed. Dam.
He lost me at "George Bush senior was a great president": from the prospective of the other part of the Ocean, NO he wasn't.
John Kerry for president 2020 all my support as lybian citizen.
No, we DON'T need more voters. We need more MENTALLY COMPETENT voters. In fact, we need a voter competency law.
Yeah, but who decides competency? Who do you trust? I'm sorta busy right now...😆
hahaha hey guys who remember " This Land" Bush vs Kerry LOLOLOL that animation was awesome
I wonder what Southern U.S. Senator said that
The Madness of King Donald....
I guess my eyes weren't playing tricks on me, glad Kerry cleared it up mentioning Colbert's beard. Before that I was thinking, it's not November yet.
negotiations with Naftta, are probably going tougher than it should be. I applaud the team's working on Canadian and American teams working estranged on the Naftta deals. they are the ones who are clearly struggling to get it right!
He had me until he said GB was a great man and Great president for the country. Oh boy Stunning to use your words. Stunning that there are so many people trying to hold up the integrity of recent history and its governmental characters.
Apprentice. The White House Edition. Stay tuned. BTW - Roman Empire also had great days before is fell.
KEEP THE BEARD!
I think John Kerry would be a good President.
John Kerry would make a fantastic advisor for #Colbert2020!
I met this dude when I was a really little kid. I brought him over to my parents by the pool and, the way she tells it, I said, "mom, this is Senator John Kerry." According to her, her exact words were "adsajifoeraghfcjxcadgvr"
People of the US, go to a window, open it....listen. Can you hear that background noise? That´s the sound of the rest of the world laughing at you.
Couldn’t sell what on a troop train?
Wendy Pastore Pussy
Wendy Pastore
Oh I thought it was sh*t on a troop train. I’m just as naïveté as you. Lol.
John Kerry for President!
John Kerry looks like Lurch from the 1960's TV show The Adams Family.
He's right, the aides that stole bills from the president's desk should be charged with treason. The generals that refuse his orders should be sent to military tribunals to decide if their position granted them the right and if it was the wrong decision, if found guilty; they would be discharged.
We had the chance to elect this good man as President in 2004. We blew it, and look what we ended up with - again!
Its past time for article 25 we have a problem Washington
I suggest to all readers here that they rent the following movies:
"BEING THERE"
"DAVE"
There you'll see what you, the people, have elected to "serve"
you.
I would add "The Dead Zone".
Put pressure on all of your representatives to use the 25th! Representatives who won't do it and know it's appropriate to do so aren't doing their job. They work for us!
Wolf Blitzer called - he wants his beard back
But what couldn't George Bush sell on a troop train? I'm guessing it was kittens. Kittens are hard to sell on a troop train. Dang it.
John Kerry is a great man
How great it would have been for this great man Senator John Kerry to have won when he ran for President of The USA💙.
This great man should seriously consider to run for the Presidency
Thank you, Mr. Kerry. We now have homework. Buchanan? Which one is he?
No! Bad Stephen! Please shave the beard.
I think that above most other things, this whole dumpster fire shows us how the "electoral college" needs to be annihilated.
Funny how ppl like you haven't learned anything in the past 250 years.
I mean, the electoral College was installed to prevent this kind of situation, but over the years they have been demoted to just a formality...
Juliett A ...how do we get rid of the Electoral college? 😮
shave yours and he might shave his stupid woman comment
What john kerry really meant: we have a presient that is there... but that isn't all there.
still pisses me off how they did him when he ran, he really would have made a good president!
We don't have a President nor à Vice President????? How about a Secretary of State?
Oh man would love for this guy to run again. You got my vote!
As a foreigner, all I can say is CrazyTown!
What an amazing guy Kerry is, and to have had a job where you can negotiate peace deals, do good ect, amazing.
Buchanan vs. Harding is a toughie-throw Grant into the mix and then it really get tough.
5:53 Real smooth Stephen! Real smooth
"You can imagine what people all around the world are reading."
Hopefully, in part, my apologies.
I’m lovin the scruff... very Charleston of you! ❤️
I WOULD BET THAT THE "SOUTHERN SENATOR" that John Kerry alludes-to in his story at the 4:46 time-counter mark, is the 1980s-era Alabama Senator named Howell Heflin. Mr. Kerry was almost doing an "impression" of (the late) Mr. Heflin during that anecdote.
"They're defending party & president." Yup, that's what's going on.
John Kerry should run for president.
great question at the end
Going off-topic here:
It'd be kind of cool if The Late Show had a periodic magazine, filled with a few exclusives and a recap of the season. There is *so much* to cover, and it'd be nice to have that coverage of history in a tangible form. Besides, I miss the smell - it's like that new car smell, y'know what I mean?
why the beep?WHYYYYYY THE BEEPPPP?Are we not adults here?
The beard looks good.
He should keep growing it out until he looks like Santa! Then run for POTUS!
#Colbert2020
Stephen should keep the beard until the Orange one gets removed from office
6:30 I love this music piece...and oh what a good interview. John Kerry is a real patriot, came back from Vietnam & try to correct a wrong war. He would have been a great President if far right wouldn't have Swift Boated him (their hatred for anything Democrats has paved the way for a totally unfit president squatting in White House today). Thanks for ur great service to this nation.
Interesting the Colbert calls him Senator John Kerry, not Secretary John Kerry as would normally be the case.
D’oh !! *Stephen,* he should be addressed as *Secretary Kerry,* not *Senator* !!
please don't run in 2020 Kerry. That would be a huge mistake for the dems to nominate this guy and would hand the repubs a gift beyond belief.
In the words of Gimli from LOTR;
*_"NOT THE BEARD!!!"_* D8
If Snoke and Groot had a baby.
This does not sound like representative democracy, it sounds like mutiny on the Bounty
I will never get used to Stephen with stubble
The world thinks we're a big joke
Comments have incredible power. They can make people’s minds soar, or they can make people’s asses sore.🤣
The will of the people needs to be heard. We need to work to end Gerrymandering, the electoral college, and hidden campaign financing. Rooting out corruption is like weeding a vacant yard with a fork, but if we don't all pay attention and work on it, this is what we get.
He’s rich as hell... his wife owns Heinz company.
This makes a lot of sense, Jimmy.
I was Pence all along, and his wife made him raise his hand before Bob Woodward stole all the VP's undercover thunder.
Awesome interview.
Damn, Kerry looks fantastic for a 75-year-old, never realized
Why didn't this John Kerry run for president? The last guy calling himself John Kerry was a numbnuts.
Don’t do it! Or if you do, at least once welcome us in with “welcome to the late show, I’m your host Stephen cool-beard”
I hope Biden doesn’t run for President. As much as I respect him, I think Kerry is more qualified. Obama should use all his energy to campaign for Kerry.
Thank you for the Buchanan comment!!!!!
