Claim: Talk show host Stephen Colbert once said, "If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition ... and then admit that we just don't want to do it." If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition ... and then admit that we just don't want to do it. However, we must also note that episodes of "The Colbert Report" are no longer available on any streaming services, and clips posted to YouTube are primarily limited to 2014, the show's final year before Colbert moved on to host "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on CBS.
