Welcome one and all M Madam Bean vanu to The Late Show I am your host step colar ladies and gentlemen you can feel it in the air folks there are just five days until Christmas but Santa came early last night when the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump is disqualified from holding

Office you go Colorado just goes to show you can make good decisions when you’re high yeah I got the munchies for justice can you imagine how mad Donald Trump must have been when he heard that news oh oh to have been a catchup stain on his wall now the reason the court kicked

Trump off the ballot is the 14th Amendment so-called Insurrection clause which states that no one can hold an office in the United States if they have engaged in Insurrection or Rebellion against the same or given Aid or Comfort to the enemies thereof now the Insurrection in this case is January 6th

And Aid and comfort to our enemies is his side hustle you know getting his beak wet this the Insurrection the Insurrection Clause dates to just after the Civil War I’m sorry I meant I meant the first Civil War it was it was designed to keep former Confederate leaders out of Congress okay

But then again it’s been over 150 years since the Civil War and it’s not like Trump was leading a bunch of Confederate okay okay I see no I understand I understand my my bad now this ruling is unprecedented the 14th amendment has been invoked against other elected officials but never

Someone running for president of the United States the Colorado justices were well aware of that and wrote We do not reach these conclusions lightly but after reviewing the evidence including January 6th they added they made it with little difficulty yeah that makes sense that does make

Sense it’s sort of a gimme Trump denied the results of the Electoral College summoned a huge group to Washington and told them to march to the capital to stop the count everyone knows what he did it’ be like Martin Luther King saying I didn’t have a dream you had a

Dream must have been something you ate this ruling does not affect the general election yet it says the Colorado Secretary of State may not list president Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot meaning the new GOP front runner in Colorado is the second most popular in the race which is

I’m going to say the Baba Duke I like the Hat I like the top Hat I I like the top it I like how formal the Baba du is here’s the weird thing though even though they’re supposedly running against him all of Trump’s primary opponents want to keep him on the ballot because so far this decision has been criticized by Vi ramaswami Chris Christie Nikki Haley and

Ron DeSantis you know it’s a competition right this reminds me of that famous soda slogan Pepsi the choice of you should drink Coke Al Chris Christie even said this in New Hampshire I do not believe Donald Trump should be prevented from being president of the United States by any

Court I think he should be prevented from being president of the United States by the voters of this country yeah damn straight the voter should decide like in 2016 when he lost the popular vote and then never became pres okay all right now naturally naturally the folks

Over at the Fox News have their lubricated catheters in a Twist over this it’s very painful and and they’re saying some nasty things about the Colorado Supreme Court these people are unhinged they’re lunatics and they’re very dangerous keep in mind he’s talking about these people they don’t look like dangerous

Deranged lunatics excepts of course Richard L Gabriel known as the Mesa County maniac and and and folks over at the Fox News are making a strange accusation this is one of the most anti-democratic decisions we have seen in American history it is the most undemocratic decision imaginable very undemocratic anti-democratic anti-democratic

Counterpoint removing the guy who tried to overthrow a democratic election is actually pro-democratic that’s like saying that’s like that’s like saying it’s antien to keep the fox out of the hen house let the chickens decide whether he finds them delicious and let’s be clear here the Colorado Supreme Court did not kick

Trump off the ballot the United States Constitution kicked Trump off the ballot as conservative judge as conservative judge and constitutional expert Michael ludik said the 14th Amendment is a valid provision of the Constitution it has to remain enforced that’s what the judges in the Colorado Supreme Court have done yes the

14th Amendment says if you try to destroy our democracy you can’t come back and try again it’s the same reason I’m not letting my appendix back into my abdomen no matter how well it PS in Iowa how’s my appendic doing in Iowa I got something now no surprise the Trump

Campaign said it planned to appeal to the US Supreme Court and I’m guessing someone’s going to start calling in some favors you owe me Kavanaugh you too Amy con Barrett you’re just a weird homeschooled kid who w a contest and Gorsuch you weren’t even a judge pretty sure I found you playing

Frankenstein to the Six Flags Halloween Horror Nights let’s let let us not forget there’s also Clarence Thomas yes exactly who’s been in the news a lot this year for all the free stuff he’s hiding under that rope according to proa conservative billionaires have given him free trips

On their Jets luxury vacations one guy bought his mom’s house but she still lives there now they’ve Unearthed Thomas’s great raft origin story see it goes back to the year 2000 when Thomas was speaking at something called Awakening a quote conservative thought weekend always nice to spend the weekend learning a new

Skill guests guests at Awakening enjoyed golf shooting lessons and aroma therapy which is why their mascot is shooty the golfing bulleo smells like Sandalwood now on the plane ride home from Awakening weekend evidently Thomas hinted to a GOP lawmaker that he’d quit if he didn’t get a pay raise now keep in

Mind that at the time Thomas’ salary was $173,600 equivalent to over $300,000 today now that sounds like it should be enough to live on Congress never gave Thomas or the other justices the raise that he was asking for but after Thomas’s threat suddenly Rich conservatives became very

Generous to him and the a year since Thomas has accepted a stream of gifts from friends and acquaintances including private school tuition and Tires Tires I got to say tires is a weirdly awkward bribe uh Francois I know you said you don’t have any open tables

On the patio tonight but have you met my friend Mr Goody year there’s three more where that came from now Trump Donald Trump may be off one ballot but he’s still on the campaign Trail where his recent speeches have been drawing a lot of comparison to Hitler because well he’s been quoting

Hitler specifically people are pointing to the Terrible Things Trump says about immigrants and last night at a rally in Iowa Trump said those things again but with a surprising disclaimer they’re destroying our country they don’t like it when I said that and I never read mine comp fine

Fine but how would it be better if you hadn’t read mine comp everyone is saying that I’ve read mine comp but that is a lie I reached the same conclusions as Hitler independently and while I’ve got your attention folks hold on while I’ve got your attention and I’m just spitballing

Here what say we invade Poland he continued they said oh Hitler said that in a much different way yeah in German Trump also took a quick detour off the autobond to Blitz scre Biden’s energy policy I will end Joe Biden’s war in American Energy and we will ready drill

Baby drill we will drill [Applause] drill look I’m no oil magnate but I’m pretty sure this is not a drilling gesture o ooh ooh ooh ooh this is obviously churning butter is what this is since Trump was in Iowa he also played a weird instructional video on

How everyone there can caucus on caucus night how it all works here here’s the taste of the video Marlin’s going to tell you everything you need to know about how to successfully caucus for president Trump before we get going let’s make sure you are eligible to caucus time to check with the lawyers

For that here’s Margot from the law firm of Dewey Dewey and chister to vote at a concus okay let’s stop right there Jam I know you’re talking about voting procedure but can someone answer the more important question why if Margo the lawyer is fully clothed is Marlon butt ass naked
