Stephen Colbert & James Corden Emotionally Address Texas Shooting

“We learned of an unspeakable shooting in Uvalde, Texas today. And while we can add our prayers for the dead,” the 58-year-old said, before pausing to collect himself, “there is nothing that can ever be said that can approach the immeasurable grief of those families. But, while we’re at it, let’s pray this time that our leaders show a modicum of courage in trying to prevent this from ever happening again.” 

The host acknowledged, “prayers won’t end this.”

He added, “Voting might so, when you vote, ask yourself this question: ‘Who, running for office, has publicly stated that they’re willing to do anything and everything in their power to protect your children from the criminally insane number of guns in America?'”
