Jordan Klepper Runs Into Matt Gaetz In His January 6th Return to D.C. | The Daily Show

[Music] it's been just over a year since the attack on the u.s capitol so last week i went back to washington d.c but now i'm ready for anything this time i'm prepared contact number in case i get thrown in jail money belt in case i need to bribe an oath keeper when they take over the city well that doesn't go down uh i got potbelly's money when i leave out of union station but unlike last year today there was a piece a quiet a calm that almost suggested perhaps our country is truly healing from the events of that day and then we found this guy screaming at cnn's john king broadcasting from a balcony y'all fake news yo bunch of garbage john king i'll try to get across the people in the world man i watch cnn watch fox news every day chris tucker hannity i watch all of you guys you know it's like money talks yeah rush hour i wear their shirt says f binding i say joe biden i respect our president it's important to have respect for the office of the president exactly exactly and at the same time wear a shirt that says biden i mean for me yes do you understand the inherent contradiction in that yes i do i do i do i definitely do when we drove by i saw you screaming up at the second floor there at john king from cnn and go himself see what you're saying now i mean what i did there that was not a good president that was me my personal opinion towards john king and me and fake news cnn yes so the fake news cnn should go itself yeah respectfully respectfully yes yes now do i want my kids to see me saying that no of course not but i mean we all have our days you you did have your i i saw your kid in the car correct i have about four more kids in the car oh so they but they don't they don't understand they're of age to understand okay so they did see they just don't understand correct yeah unfortunately our nation's leaders were respectfully divided on how to best remember the day on the one hand you had the democrats condemning the attacks as only they know how we're privileged to have a contribution from one of the great creative talents of our time lin manuel miranda and on the other hand there were people like representative matt gates and marjorie taylor green who were unapologetic about what happened and were even planning an event of their own we're proud of the work that we did on january 6 to make legitimate arguments about election integrity so we're going to make those arguments today in a press conference at 2 15 and we're actually going to go walk the grounds that that patriotic americans walked from the white house to the capitol ah a solemn walk in front of the media to reenact the events of january 6th plenty of time for me to ask some questions they patriotically sauntered down oh they're just getting into their cars hey matt gates if you're gonna uh reenact the events of january 6th who is going to take a in the rotunda and also who's gonna who's gonna make uh the gallows isn't this a little bit childish matt or is that what attracts you to this oh well i'll catch him at one of the other sedition reenactments of course there were some who witnessed the events first-hand who have a different attitude towards the rioters when it comes to insurrections them i don't give a can i quote you on that yeah representative ruben gallego was inside with fellow congressmen of both parties just yards away from the violence look i was scared for the country i was scared for my colleagues i was pissed off the thing i remember the most is seeing the the fear in the eyes of some very young staffers i was here that day it was chaotic i got called an just over there was it by a member of congress or the guy had a pitchfork do you do you know the pitchfork guy is he a member of congress or is he oh he might be probably from the freedom caucus yeah the guy was talking about the pitchfork if he's not in congress he's definitely running in the mid-terms he's a frontrunner yeah later outside the halls of power democrats gathered for a vigil hoping the country would never have to go through a horrible day like that again but down the road there was another vigil we're outside of jail right now going to vigil number two where they chose to look on the bright side of the potential treason what would you call the events of january 6th a wonderful glorious event people were excited that day january 6 was the greatest day of my entire life okay okay you're obviously not a police officer there was no insurrection that day if there was any intention on our part we would have been actually freaking harm if there was intention people would come with us wait we would have been with zip ties or bear spray or a pitchfork outfits what about the people who did come with zip ties bear spray and pitchforks well those weren't arms those are just minimal defensive measures who is the the candlelight vigil for the all of the patriots all of the 140 patriots the uh the police officers were injured that day yeah so it's for the police officers no it's not for that this is for the the patriots that are in prison the people arrested for injuring the police officers that day there was some people standing up to say you know stop the steal we're here uh at the site of where the january 6 protesters are being detained this is a vigil for them their rights have been taken away so criminal justice is obviously a big issue for you i'm interested in uh protecting everyone's rights are you going to rikers island to protest the the 15 people who died last year i i am not even a year later selective victimization was still trending hot at the end of the day it might have felt that nothing has really changed that we were locked in an endless loop talking about the same things with the same people i felt like that apparently for a good reason i saw you in hershey that's right have you been oh hanging in there man you been i've i've witnessed uh a near downfall of democracy it's been it's been a busy it's been a busy year too yeah it has it's been a little hectic a hectic year indeed [Music] you

"Isn't this a little bit childish Matt? Or is that what attracts you to this?"

That just killed me.
