Stephen Colbert – and his unique sense of humor – tells us about the crisis between the US and Iran regarding the nuclear arms deal. What will Trump do? What does the White House think on the issue? Oh, and how do you think where does Trump get his “great Energy and unending Stamina”?
The video appeared today. And it already has over 700,000 views on Youtube.
The other big news today is about Iran. It's 11 days until Trump has to decide if he's pulling out of the nuclear arms deal. So far, Trump's been coy about what he's gonna do.
Donald Trump: We'll see what happens. I'm not telling you what I'm doing but a lot of people think they know.
But I'm not one of those people because I have no idea what I'm doing. No spoilers, please. Don't tell me how the world ends. Wait, do I turn out to be Thanos?
People – it's very popular movie – people on both sides of the issue are trying to sway the president. And yesterday, we heard from Israeli Prime Minister and guy at the home definitely sleeping with your grandma – Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu went on Israeli TV yesterday, he went to Israeli TV to talk directly to Donald Trump and said that Iran lied about their nuclear program and Israel has proof.
Benjamin Netanyahu: A few weeks ago, in a great intelligence achievement, Israel obtained half a ton of the material inside these vaults. And here’s what we’ve got – 55,000 pages, another 55,000 files on 183 CDs.
That is the worst showcase showdown ever. But here's the thing – none of this is new information, most of what Netanyahu said was already well-known. The nuclear weapons research program he was discussing ended about 15 years ago.
Oh, so he did a big blockbuster reveal of information from 2003. I assume, he also blew the lid off of Finding Nemo and the shocking report that Limp Bizkit rulez. And there are three Limp Bizkit fans here tonight.
And the administration doesn't deny this is old news. According to White House press secretary and wonderful woman – is that okay, Maggie Haberman – Sarah Huckabee Sanders, yesterday she said, “These facts are consistent with what the United States has long known: Iran has a robust, clandestine nuclear weapons program”.
Holy cow! Iran has a nuclear weapons program? Well then, definitely get out of the deal as soon as – wait, I'm being told that the White House has changed the word “has” to “had”. Oh, that's kind of different. Like the difference between “has chlamydia” and “had chlamydia”. Something to be careful about when you're typing up your tinder profile.
The media has been unearthing a lot of stories that paint a bleak picture of the White House. But Trump wants everybody to know that everything in the White House is going just fine. “The White House is running very smoothly despite phony Witch Hunts etc. There is great Energy and unending Stamina, both necessary to get things done”.
Coincidentally, great energy and unending stamina are the names of the pills Dr. Ronny was passing out. Code names. And Trump has unending stamina – just look at the schedule today:
at 11:00 a.m. he had his intelligence briefing;
12:00 p.m. he's giving a Trophy to a Military Academy football team;
at 1:45 p.m. he's greeting the folks from the Southwest Airlines flight that had an emergency landing;
and he's done around 2:00.
It's like Dolly Parton says:
Working 11 to 2, what a way to run a nation,
Just three things to do, then it’s basically vacation.
Got a tweet or two, just to add to the confusion
And pray that they don't convict you of collusion!
