Stewart Rhodes Convicted Of Seditious Conspiracy | Senate Votes To Protect Marriage Equality

welcome, welcome up here out there to the Late Show I'm your host Stephen Colbert and friends, I feel like I have to say pretty good and I feel a little bad about that because what makes me feel good is that someone else is going to prison yesterday in a trovert the horrible events of January 6th the founder of the oath keeper Stuart Rhodes was found guilty of

seditious

conspiracy

okay that my friends yes that's big that's big that's Insurrection with the cream colored trees and the center right there The delicious Rose too She was

convicted

of other bad things, so she now faces a maximum of 60 years in prison.

You hear the name, uh, Oath Keepers, you know, and that eye patch that makes the roads look like a heroic Liberty Rebel, is actually a banned Yale Law grad who wears an eye patch. eye after accidentally shooting himself in the face with his own gun, oopsa Karma. that's like it's embarrassing it's embarrassing it's what it is it's like discovering that Rambo uses that headband to cover his lively laugh love tattoo this conviction make no mistake it's a big deal marks the first time a jury has decided that the 6th January the violence was the product of an organized

conspiracy

well yeah I saw it, it sure seemed organized, I don't remember any headline that said Capital Meet, Lindo gets out of control, Rhodes is a bastard, even his ex-wife chimed in saying that The conviction is the first time Rhodes has faced consequences, damn, that's what they call winning the break, oh, they voted to pass the Broken by Marriage Act, and the hits just keep coming, baby, come on , that is cute.

I like to do monologues tonight. It's nice, yes, respect for

marriage

. Law that would enshrine

marriage

equality

in federal law. This is an incredible moment. I am very proud to live in a country where anyone, regardless of their sexuality, can disagree for decades about the correct way to load a dishwasher without first rinsing. that's just washing the dishes before you put them in the dishwasher don't wash them that's what the dishwasher went to college to learn thanks The bill passed in a vote of 61 to 36 with 12 Republicans joining Democrats to vote in favor that's where we are that's great no wonder marriage

equality

even partisan support was out of e thank you you know I'm sure a lot of you are saying hey Steve right?

We already have the right to same-sex marriage, yes, but many people. We were worried we might lose that right thanks to the Legion of Fools after conservatives on the court overturned Roe v Wade last summer. The next logical step that many conservatives were calling for is to repeal Obergefell, hence the urgency of passing this bill and getting Republican support for the bill had to walk a kind of very fine line, so it won't force all states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, but would require that people be considered married in any state, as long as the marriage is valid in the state where it was performed, in other words, if you get married in Massachusetts and then You move to Florida, no one can question the validity of your marriage.

Okay, that's good to know. It's nice, but they may ask why you moved to Florida, but you know the bill. repeals the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996, so that old thing goes away, as one prominent legislator said of the Defense of Marriage Act. Thank you, thank you, thank you Senator Roo, it has been a really bad week for the former president because he is still outperforming Flack. After his dinner last Tuesday with Kanye West and white nationalist anti-Semite Nick Fuentes, the former president is now struggling to do damage control, which is why he went on Fox News.

Now normally we would post footage of that, but we don't have any because they only let him talk to foxnews.com, even his cameras aren't willing to be seen on camera with him right now. The former president told the website that he had never heard of Fuentes before the dinner and added that he had no idea what his views were. You might have thought that six years ago this was the first time you played with white supremacists, but it's happened many times, you know what they say if it flies like a duck and quacks like a duck, but goose-steps, you got yourself a duck The math has been so bad that to avoid future meetings with white supremacists, the former president's team has a new rule and this is true: a senior official must be with the former president at all times.

Yes, it is so important that they have not made any mistakes. To make sure the former president isn't left alone with the white supremacist, the trick will be to find a way to keep him out of any room he's in in Georgia, that's a petter joking with a chain stoker in Georgia they're receiving. Close to the big Senate runoff between Herschel Walker and Rafael Warnock, so far it has started with a real bang because on Monday voters in Georgia broke their record for the highest number of

votes

cast in a single day during early voting, another record further.

Yes, I agree Boat Boat Boat is another new record for Herschel Walker's resume along with his college rushing yards, record for Planned Parenthood reward points, and record for accidentally swallowed nickels. When you attack him, he sings. Both candidates are storming right now, but Walker's speeches are especially notable. because they are crazy here he is on Monday defending a border wall I am a security guy how are we going to do that that is the way I can do it at that moment and then put up a wall I want to work we are all working in your house, when you have to walk around your house, people don't do it, they have it, they can come in, but you know what they come in, it's going to be hard to get out because I have a dog, so my dog ​​really won.

Don't bite there, they'll have to update that ridge, build the wall, add a dog, one that bites, maybe not if voters look at those scuff marks. I know that if voters send Walker home, I might have a hard time finding where he is, because while we knew Walker had several homes just this week. We learn that he claimed his Texas home as his primary residence to get a tax cut which isn't great for a Georgia senatorial hopeful, but unlike his other scandals, Walker has been Surprisingly honest about it. In January, everyone asked me why I decided to run for promotion while I was sitting at home in Texas and I was sitting at home in Texas and I was watching what was going on in this country.

I tell people to stop for a moment. and look, you know I live in Texas, he was straight up and said it. This is the most disqualifying campaign confession since Herbert Hoover's 1928 slogan. I pushed a nun into a pit on Senate candidates who are not from the state they are running for office by losing. Republican and guy who fell into the gorilla enclosure and is doing everything he can to mix it up with Dr. Mehmet Oz since John Fetterman handed Oz his ass. He's been trying to take a minute for us, it's never too early to enjoy it again.

Been trying to get his old TV job back now, unfortunately for us, his former producers supposedly don't talk to him. He's so toxic that he couldn't even interest Paramount Plus in their Dr. Oz prequel. Young memet. I would see that the reason the producers don't want us back is because the TV people believe the campaign seriously damaged Oz's reputation and that's no small feat considering that before he ran his reputation was Doctor Who. , which says that if you have more than 200 orgasms a year you can reduce your physiological age by six. years, well, it seems that your secret has come to light.

Paul Rudd moves on to 200. 200 is that when turning to the world of religion, many religions around the world believe that with time in prayer and meditation one can reach a state of religious ecstasy, but some people want a shortcut. like in Thailand where a Buddhist temple was left without monks after they all tested positive for methamphetamine, yes, as the enlightened one himself said, how can I still be so fat with so much madness? We have a great show for you tonight, my guests are Treasury Secretary Jen Yellen and comedian Rob   Delaney and when we come back, in the meantime you are all foreigners
