Stephen Colbert had the three hosts of America's top political podcast, Pod Save America's Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor, on his live Late Show Tuesday night, following President Trump's first State of the Union speech.

Trump offered some bipartisan sentiments in his speech, Colbert reminded the three Democratic speechwriters and spokesmen. "Did you feel reached-out-to in any way?" "I don't know how you take a speech and divorce it from an entire year of actions," Vietor said. "He talks about reaching out to Democrats, he's never apologized for any of it," Lovett added. "The only people in that room that don't care whether or not Donald Trump apologizes are people like Ted Cruz, who just supplicated themselves before this guy that called his wife ugly and said that his father killed JFK."
