As he does on a nightly basis, Stephen Colbert opened his Late Show monologue on Wednesday with some jokes at President Donald Trump’s expense. But this time, he got a little philosophical about it.

“I hope that doesn’t upset Donald Trump, because he’s a bit of a hothead, loose cannon, powder keg, dump truck, which is why it’s important for him to be counseled by people who are even-keeled,” the host told his audience.

“Unfortunately, he's talking to some jerk named Alex Jones, the far-right conspiracy theorist who,” as The New York Times’ Jim Rutenberg reported this week, “is apparently taking on a new role as occasional information source and validator for Trump, with whom he sometimes speaks on the phone.” Trump also reportedly called Jones after the election to thank him for “fighting so hard for Americans, and for Americanism,” in Jones’s words.

Noting that it’s “good to have a variety of voices in a time of crisis,” Colbert added, “let’s see what this guy’s like” before showing a clip that revealed just how unhinged the InfoWars creator really is.

1. Who wants Next

[get the red out]

2. I am so glad!

Infowars is getting exposed. People need to know what they push, and yes there are PLENTY of people listening and buying into it, as insane as that sounds. I see a good number of Infowars bumper stickers in this red state.
