i am your host, stephen colbert.heers and applause ) you know, the more we learn about the insurrection on january 6, the more it becomes clear that we have two political parties in this country. you have the democratic party, and the anti-democratic party, because only one of these parties cares whether you get to vote in an election. take the case of former chief of staff and clinically depressed potato, mark meadows. meadows at first agreed to cooperate with the january 6 congressional investigation, then quickly unagreed. so last night, the house voted to hold meadows in criminal contempt. ( cheers and applause ). yes, hell, yes! criminal contempt. and the rest of us can just keep holding him in regular contempt. ( laughter ) but only two republicans voted for it: kinzinger and cheney. every other republican, every other one, doesn't want you to know what happened on january 6 ( audience booing ) take ohio congressman and mime who won't shut up, jim jordan. jordan wanted to let his buddy meadows off the hook. >>

( laughter ) biden kicked off the virtual summit early this morning: >> democracy, government of the people, by the people, for the people, can at times be fragile but it also is inherently resilient. it is capable of self-correction and it is capable of self-improvement and, yes, democracy is hard, we all know that. do we though, joe? h

( cheers and applause ) hey, do youemember this?ple of months ago when joe biden promised a normal holiday season? well, like his hairline, that went away, because on friday, the world health organization designated a new variant of concern and gave it the not-at-all-sinister name: the omicron variant. ( thunder, glass breaking, cat scream ) ( laughter ) did not expect the cat. well, it sounds like the title of a robert ludlum novel. omicron is, in fact, the 15th letter in the greek alphabet. the w.h.o. chose to skip a few, because 'nu' is too easily confused with 'new,' and they claim 'xi,' was not used because it is a common last name, but we all know it's because it's the surname of chinese president xi jinping. and you can't piss off world leaders. they learned the hard way after being sued in the 1890s by belgian premier henri chlamydia.

if you look at like we talked about early jimmy kimmel steve colbert and it seems like the fox network is embracing this idea between pirates and the rest of you with the award young conservative media and is that something to look forward to seeing more of with younger conservative voices?
