Summary

Voters went to the polls in Georgia today to decide whether Sen. Raphael Warnock or Herschel Walker will be their next Senator, and the family of a fallen Capitol Police officer refused to shake hands with Sen. McConnell and Rep. McCarthy at a White House ceremony. And Stephen Colbert partnered with the USO for a trip to the top of the world to meet the heroic women and men of the newest branch of America’s military, the Space Force. Listen to Stephen’s conversation with the highest ranking member of the Space Force, Chief Master Sgt. Roger A. Towberman, then gets a behind-the-scenes tour of Thule Air Base, including secret areas we can’t show on camera, and a chilling demonstration of how the Space Force will respond if an enemy nation launches intercontinental ballistic missiles at the United States. Next, Stephen thanks The USO and the service members at Thule Air Base by doing what he does best: drinking alcohol and telling jokes. Then country music star and Navy vet Sturgill Simpson shows up to perform some new lyrics for the Space Force anthem! At the conclusion of Stephen’s trip to Thule Air Base with The USO, he answers candid questions from the brave men and women of America’s Space Force. Special thanks to The USO, Sturgill Simpson and all the members of the Space Force for inviting Stephen Colbert on this unforgettable journey! Learn more about your ad choices.
