Stephen Colbert Slams Trump’s Joint Session of Congress as ‘Filled With Useful Lies’ and ‘Applauded by Useless Idiots’: ‘Another Two Hours We’ll Never Get Back’

During tonight’s live broadcast of “The Late Show,” Stephen Colbert recapped President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress and criticized many of the talking points made during the almost two-hour speech.

Before Colbert took the stage, an “Animaniacs” theme song parody called “The Maga Maniacs” played for the audience. Featuring cartoon versions of Trump, Vice President JD Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson, the song went like this: “It’s time for Maga Maniacs / Federal workers get the ax / DEI rollbacks / Putin can relax / We’re Maga Maniacs.”

After the song finished, Colbert appeared and quickly dove into Trump’s address, first poking fun at the speech’s theme.

“The theme of tonight’s speech was ‘The renewal of the American Dream,'” Colbert said. “Yeah, I don’t know if I want to sign up for the renewal. Can’t I just use a different email to get another free trial?”

Colbert also covered the expulsion of Texas Congressman Al Green, who was escorted out of the joint session after repeatedly interrupting Trump.

“Johnson called in the sergeant at arms to remove 77-year-old Texas Congressman Al Green,” Colbert said. “Some people questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove an old man with a cane. But it turns out it was for a serious reason. When security searched him, they found that he smuggled in a spine.”

Colbert wrapped his monologue by apologizing to the audience for making them watch Trump’s speech, adding, “That’s time you could have spent with your family not eating eggs.”

“So, there you go. Another 2 hours we’ll never get back,” Colbert said. “In the end, Trump’s first address to Congress was much like his first six weeks: Filled with useful lies, and applauded by useless idiots.”

Angela Bassett felt 'lots of joy' when her kids went to college
Angela Bassett didn't shed any tears when she dropped her kids off at college. The 66-year-old actress has revealed that she felt "lots of joy" when she dropped her 19-year-old twins, Bronwyn and Slater, off at their new school. The award-winning star - who has been married to actor Courtney B. Vance since 1997 - told the 'Today' show: "You know what, no tears. Just lots of joy. "You think you're going to cry, and because you think you are going to do that, it doesn't happen. I remember when I went to college and how wonderful it was, so, of course, I wanted that for them too, so no cries, no guilt." Angela previously insisted that she will support her kids if they follow her into the movie business. The Hollywood star revealed that she will always support her children - irrespective of what they do in their careers. Speaking about her kids' interests, Angela explained to PEOPLE: "They want to follow the success, but whether it be acting, I don't get any clues to that right now. It's a little music, a little sports. But whatever they want to do, I support them." Angela previously won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever', and the movie star revealed that she celebrated her success with her kids. The acclaimed actress - who has won a host of awards during her career, including a Primetime Emmy Award and two Golden Globe Awards - said: "I went home and hugged my kids. They were really excited for mom to bring home a statue."

Halle Berry wants women to throw menopause parties
Halle Berry wants women to celebrate the menopause by throwing a "shiesta" party. The Hollywood actress, 58, has revealed she will officially enter menopause on March 21 - the date which will mark 12 months since her last period - and she is convinced the date needs to be acknowledged like "every other milestone" in life. According to New York Post column PageSix, Halle explained her ideas during an upcoming appearance on 'The Tamsen Show' podcast, saying: "When a woman realizes that she’s in the menopause - you know, 365 days, and you know you’re in it - it is their duty to give that woman a ‘shiesta’ to celebrate her, like we do every other milestone in our life." Halle went on to confess she thought she would be able to "skip" menopause because she has spent so many years prioritising healthy living. She added: "There was a feeling of: ‘Hey, I can do pretty much anything I want to do if I eat right and exercise, and prioritize my health and well-being'. "I thought whatever menopause is - I don’t know much about it - but I’m sure I’m going to skip it, because I’m too healthy! I’m on top of everything." Halle launched her own wellness platform Respin in 2020, but she recently repurposed it to focus on menopause and women’s health issues. The actress has also been campaigning for more research into the menopause and more funding for treatments. She recently told Women's Health magazine: "As women, we've been told that's it's just what happens when you get older - you just have to white-knuckle it, grin and bear it. Well, no, that's just not good enough." Halle recently revealed she was sent into a spin after a doctor misdiagnosed her perimenopause symptoms as herpes and she then spent 72 hours with her partner Van Hunt playing the "blame game" trying to work out how she had contracted the sexually transmitted infection (STI). During an appearance on 'The Drew Barrymore Show', Halle explained: "I tried to go to the bathroom and I couldn’t go. It was so painful when I tried to let a little bit out. I couldn’t go. It took me almost 10 minutes just to empty my bladder because it was so painful. "Substances were down there that I had never seen before. And I thought, ‘What is this?’” After seeing a doctor, she was diagnosed with a "really bad case of herpes", and Halle added: "We spend the next 72 hours doing the blame game, trying to figure out who gave it to me, who gave it to him. And then a couple of hours after that, my doctor called me and said, ‘You do not have herpes'." Halle went on to do some research and discovered her symptoms were linked to perimenopause - which hits prior to menopause.
