CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s Wednesday interview with Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin hit all of the usual The Late Show beats: puffball questions, Democrat strategizing, and questions from the left. More specifically, the duo would discuss hot dogs, the far-left’s alleged “alpha energy,” and Israel’s military operations in Gaza.

Colbert would later conclude the interview by bringing up Israel, “Ultimately, even for American citizens who are staunch allies of Israel, what do you imagine is the end game for Israel here? Because certainly the international community sees the tens of thousands of deaths of the Gazans, of the Palestinians, as being, at this point, a horrific crime not commensurate with the horror, albeit the horror of October 7. Do you think Israel might be harming itself? You've got countries ready to call this a genocide, and how does that help the future of Israel?”
As for Slotkin, she gave the typical moderate Democrat answer about how Israel has the right to defend itself but needs to do better, “The way that this is being carried out now, particularly some of the very right-wing, very open statements by people of the Netanyahu government, to me is harming the long-term interests of the state of Israel, and that to me is an important value we also have to push.”
