Stephen Colbert said jokes that MOST of the audience laughed along with. He even discussed how faux side security business venture would be beneficial in which some people took him seriously over the matter. He discussed how the attendees from companies should even “scare” their clients to hire them to continue business. He also mentioned how there was a petition for him to not speak at RSA in which he went ahead and spoke at the conference! Colbert shreds Snowden and the NSA for what they’ve done to people. And for the most part, some people took certain matters that Stephen Colbert discussed, too seriously. A good number of people those who happen to be non-Americans, don’t realize that Colbert is a comedian in which that is the reason why they took some of his commentary TOO seriously!

There were some mixed feelings with the audience when Stephen Colbert calls Edward Snowden a traitor and then explains what makes him someone who should do time for the crime he committed. For the most part, a good number of the audience did in fact agree to how Stephen explains what Snowden did to be the kind of traitor that could’ve leaked “your own (the audience members that is)” information! If a person was in their right frame of mind, they’d agree that they wouldn’t want their own personal information leaked for the world to see and know of. Colbert made his comments personal to the audience and they clapped in unison agreement.

During the Q&A, when Stephen sat down from the podium, people asked questions. Some people asked about his “Cloud Fog”, some inquire about his take on security, asked personal questions, while others expressed how much they’re a fan of his comedic style, and then there were the people who asked questions that were, well… just a slap in the face! Colbert held his own in laughter and in seriousness with the audience members asking questions from the microphone stands that were in the two side isles. He always had a comeback whether the questions were about his political comedy or about security itself. For the most part, many people failed to realize that Stephen Colbert is a comedian and is therefore entitled to say whatever he wants even though a good number of audience members had absolutely no idea who he is and in what range he pokes fun of current events that apply to where he is at. A good number of people were at the RSA closing keynote just because they’re too serious about their job, while many others wanted to see and hear what Stephen Colbert had to say in reference to why he was asked to speak. In the end, some people need to lighten up and Stephen Colbert ended his keynote nicely despite some people having to tear him down with their words of insecurity!
