The stock market can fall steadily and the economy went on its way to a possible recession, but on Tuesday evening Stephen Colbert found a “silver lining” for all – one that made his audience in cheers.
During his monologue, the CBS -Gastheer first enjoyed fun with Trump supporters such as FOX Business -Gastheer Maria Bartiromo and claims that when the economy enters a recession, it will actually be the fault of former President Joe Biden.
“Oh, Maria. Maria, Maria, that excuse is becoming increasingly difficult to bake,” Dibbelde Colbert. “” Are you going to the bathroom? Maybe you want to give it a minute. Joe Biden was there about eight weeks ago! “
He also admitted that he really wanted to assure the viewers that everything will be fine, but that was not possible because “I am not so good from a liar.” Still, while Colbert described the damage that confronts the economy, he chose a bright spot.
“There is a silver lining about the implosion of the global economy: it is also bad for Elon Musk,” said Colbert.
The audience then broke out in enormous applause and cheers, somewhat shocked the comedian himself with how long it went and to bring him to blow a kiss in the camera.
Colbert then noticed that Musk lost more than $ 16 billion on Monday alone, which also earned a new wave of cheers from the public. But the host was also quickly explaining that Musk’s turn was not suddenly.
“This decline did not start yesterday, because Tesla shares have fallen 50% since December, and there is a good reason for that,” he said. “It’s a phenomenon economists call economists:” Everyone f -ing hates that guy. “
