A rerun from the earliest days of the show, May 2006 to be exact. If you missed the Colbert White House Correspondents Dinner the first time around then this is worth checking out and if you paid attention to it in the moment then this is a nice way to relive the magic. With The Colbert Report having recently come to a close, and me getting sick this week, it seemed like the perfect time to replay this classic.

Today we take a look at how over-policing and the threat of constant surveillance chips away at freedom in direct and indirect ways and why you should be concerned (if it weren’t already obvious)

Today we look at the interplay between a system of structural racism and our (in)justice system and beg the question: is the system broken or is it working just as intended?

Today we continue to look at the effect of money in politics and follow the campaigns you can support that are actively working to reform the system

Today we take a look at the state of poverty in America and some ideas of how to address it
