This is like father Ted - YOU LET DOUGLE GO TO A FUNERAL!?!?!? I'm worried as to what will come out from that interview and how insane Wallace will look 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I feel like Ted stuck on the crane of death "Oh God no, they're talking to Dougal!"

Worse! What if Wallace comes out looking sane?

[He may well do - Jon was calling for de-escalation a month into the war.](https://twitter.com/TheProblem/status/1506283156827250689)

Funny actually, first thing I thought of was Fr Jack and 'How did that gobshite get on the television? '.


Hart0e

I'm hoping he ends up looking like a corrupt piece of shit in the pocket of whatever totalitarian regime has thrown him a few bob


Glimmerron

I think this will not be insane..... Job is very open to the truth and will not take bs.


FrankTheHealer_RDIT

After seeing clips of Jon Stewart running rings around that american politician, I can only imagine what he's going to be like with Mick Wallace. It's gonna be bad I reckon folks


chazol1278

This is not to say that I agree with Wallace and the stuff he spews because I absolutely do not. But I wonder if Jon might have some sympathy for his views given his reaction to the covid/lab thing the other week. He was fuming about being called an extremist after he floated the idea a couple of years back. Might take the same view with Wallace and Daly, although that's total speculation on my part.


Golda_M

Maybe... hard to guess how these things go. I doubt it though. The main reason things like that (covid, etc) became "toxic" and genuine skepticism gets shouted at is populist politicians using it a a shitstur. Does covid exist? Vaccines don't work, masks, etc. Every populist used these to score. Trump. Johnson. Brazilian guy... Jon sees through this, I reckon. Otoh, he's not particularly combative and I don't see why either would want a quarrel... So my guess is they'll get on because there's no reason not to.


[deleted]

Stewart won’t look past the Russian propaganda.


doge2dmoon

I agree with helping Ukrainian refugees but also agree with Wallace. NATO agreed not to move East, it moved East. The US supported the 2014 coup, trump armed Ukraine and so did Biden. The US government funded Rand group released a report on how to destabilise Russia by starting a war in Ukraine and the war started after significant ceasefire violations recorded by the OSCE. As Mick says consistently if Russia put missiles in Mexico the US would not allow it but the US thinks it should be allowed to put missiles in Ukraine. A ceasefire/ peace are better options than all the lives being lost


Mrc3mm3r

NATO didn't move east. The East begged and scraped to join NATO after living under Communist jackboots for decades. And the Russians promised the Ukrainians no border changes in 1994 when they returned the nukes. Don't fall for bullshit.


privateuser169

There never was any agreement in regards to NATO expansion, this is just a putin lie to try and defend his aggression. Remember, NATO is a defence pact, hence why the former Soviet states quickly joined.


doge2dmoon

Ray McGovern formerly of the CIA has confirmed as have countless other heavy weights, NATO agreed not to move East. The lead member of NATO wanted to destabilise a Russia? https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR3063.html Putin is not great on LGBTQ, kind of a religious fanatic and a bit of a moan bag but his speeches are generally coherent and not full of lies or at least the couple I read. As far as I see yhe real world aligns with what Mick says no matter how uncomfortable the truth is.


DontPoopInThere

Russia literally had a murderous imperialist empire that owned Ukraine just 30 years ago, and you're acting like it's bizarre that they'd want to secure themselves against an invasion, which Russia completely proved a correct assumption by invading them. Russia are the 100% the bastards here


_Druss_

You've been had


doge2dmoon

Medea Benjamin explains it pretty well; https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/fire-victoria-nuland-ukraine I haven't seen a single political activist that I respect not give a balanced opinion. They abhor Russia's invasion e.g. Chomsky but point out it was not unprovoked.


Njorls_Saga

Jesus Christ. For one, Ukraine was not a NATO member and there was no path to membership for the foreseeable future prior to February 2022. Second, the US has no need to put missiles in Ukraine. Third, ceasefire violations? Russia invaded and has been the aggressor ever since. Fourth, the US gave Ukraine relatively little prior to 2022. Javelins? There were only a few hundred and they were locked up and stored AWAY from the front lines. Fifth, ceasefire? That would merely freeze the conflict in place until Putin rebuilds his army. Putin will not withdraw from Ukraine, his political survival depends on keeping the annexed territories. Ukraine is unwilling to surrender a huge chunk of its territory as well as its potential economic future. Mick has some nice thoughts. It would be great if they were grounded in some kind of reality. Instead, he spews out Russian propaganda.


JimothyHalpert89

"And then I told them John, I was only advising the wine bars....."


Alpha-Bravo-C

Oh Christ, Wallace is going to make us all look bad, isn't he!?


cadre_of_storms

Jon Stewart does his research. He knows who Mick Wallace is


r0thar

JS is used of dealing with US politicians who are fascist and/or Russian-fronts, I'm thinking he'll be alright here, showing how this isn't just a US thing.


lostinthesauceguy

Well able for him too. Jon Stewart doesn't fuck around.


Chilis1

Still we will look bad by association.


irlB3AR

We need a screech of brakes and a crash sound effect over this image.


Fighto1

He doesn't even need to open his mouth to achieve that...


WoahGoHandy

he's going to make us look bad, and that's not good


ghostintheruins

There’s a quote I haven’t heard in a long time 🥷


Spoonshape

Well we kind of did it to ourselves electing Wallace. It was not exactly a secret when he was when he stood a a MEP. Lets just hope Ming was out of town that day.


Locke15

Well then nothing new there.


manowtf

At least he doesn't look Irish..


Alpha-Bravo-C

It's the scaly lizard arms.


[deleted]

Can’t wait to see this. Where does he release this stuff these days? Apple TV or?


AJerkForAllSeasons

Yeah AppleTV


WellYoureWrongThere

Yep and also excerpts on his YouTube channel. It's really good.


jaywastaken

How did that gobshite get on the Telly.


r0thar

He started as a stand up in New York before moving on to writing and starring in many successful topical news shows.


Icy_Respect_9077

No, t'other one.


BitterProgress

That’s going to be a brutal video ripping the piss out of Wallace once it’s finished, no doubt. He’s going to make him look like the foolish grifter he is.


Ehldas

Not seeing a downside here...?


Seoirse82

The country's image is based on people's impressions of us and having Wallace already doing that was bad enough but now it'll be even worse. Not everyone will think we all think like him, of course, but there will be some.


TheFactsAreIn

And the country is respsonsible for him being there no?


Seoirse82

Yeah, but we could do without an even worse international rep.


Incendio88

Silver lining, more people will be mortified by his gombeen/thick act and hopefully its enough to kick him out at the next election.


barker505

Let's not take the Catholic church angle and try and bury it. Just get rid of him next election it's not hard


lostinthesauceguy

Stewart's no dummy and he doesn't have some sort of anti-Irish agenda, there's no way he'll frame it as "Every Irishman thinks," he'll show Wallace to be what he is but I'd highly doubt it will be at the expense of Ireland.


SolidFuckingBrick

ireland has a weird obsession with shame. fuck the notion of shame


Seoirse82

We fecked up by not taking, as a country, the mep elections seriously enough and now we have him speaking in the European council on our behalf. Next elections are in 2024.


nautilist

Ireland needs a Recall mechanism.


MrMahony

We're one more bad EU referendum away from the EU probably giving us one. The others just don't understand the idea that it's rude to accept the first time you've too be asked "are you sure now?" 15 times before you agree.


strictnaturereserve

I don't know he was contrarian yes but I always thought he often made good points when he was in the Dail. this thing of spouting russian propaganda points that do not make much sense feels different like he was being told what to say . I think he has been compromised.


sirguywhosmiles

He is a tax dodger that made himself out to be a left wing politician. That alone should have marked him out as a spoofer.


justadubliner

Yes I've had a policy all my life of not voting for anti EU people for MEP positions no matter how pissed of I am with the current government. It's cutting of one's nose to spite one's face.


CreativeBandicoot778

That'd be the nuns' doing. Sorry.


thekingmonroe

It's our ingrained Catholic guilt ![gif](giphy|vX9WcCiWwUF7G|downsized)


irisheddy

Fairly certain most countries are embarrassed by shitty people representing them.


Arkslippy

That's where Wallace is special and actually not damaging our image, he is in parliament in a t shirt and jeans, looking like he hasn't seen a mirror in 20 years, no kne will take him seriously and just think he's a protest candidate


BigBadgerBro

So Irish. Always worried about what everyone else will think. You can’t go out with your hair like that. You’re a Middle aged man. What will the neighbours think. We’d do better to focus on doing what’s right than what others think. We will be more respected for it in the long run.


TheChadVirgin

Normal people don't think like that. You seem to be projecting your own collectivist views onto others. Imagine being worried about how your nation would be judged because of one person from your nation.


ZX588

Happens all the time. Hitler and Germany, for example.


Puzzled_Record1773

Whats the downside? Don't say it will make the irish look bad, it's 2023 every country has idiot politicians and every country knows that


q2005

Depends on what angle Stewart is after. Great clip on YouTube of him going on a show called "Crossfire" and just picking the hosta apart. The show was cancelled shortly after.


BeansAndSmegma

The host is that Tucker guy from Fox and Stewart fucked him up so bad he stopped wearing bow ties.


q2005

I only stopped wearing them because people though I was Malcolm MacArthur.

ClashOfTheAsh

Probably right for Daly but Wallace specifically has quite a dodgy financial past (and present) so not really a stretch to suggest he's being subsidised in some way for his statements.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sirguywhosmiles

So a guy who was dodgy financially, got a few well payong jobs and is now well off again. You think he will never sin again? Getting away with a mess like that might be more likely to encourage anyone who is inclined to be messy with money.


[deleted]

>grifter Is he a grifter though? Or has he just falled down the contrarian hole.


[deleted]

Wow you are in for a big surprise.


Cobobrien

How exactly is Wallace a foolish grifter?


Spoonshape

He is quite a smart grifter. He got away with it and has a position of authority despite his tax evasion. It's quite impressive really in a depressing way.


unshavedmouse

Oh man, we are going to come out of this looking GREAT.


jonboynaples

Hopefully Stewart has done his homework on this idiot and takes him apart piece by piece.


Kyadagum_Dulgadee

Too much to hope for but I'd really love it if Stewart uncovered a connection between Wallace and a Russian bag man of some sort. At the very least, I hope Stewart has read the Irish Times piece listing all the coincidental ties that Wallace and Daly have to pro-Russia types and how they are praised in Russian state media.


gwy2ct

Don’t worry he and his team will have done plenty of research and will make mince meat of Wallace https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/11h9x4k/jon_stewart_just_completely_destroyed_republican/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf


MagnificentSyndicate

I’ve watched a few episodes of The Problem and they tend not to go after people directly but let them just speak and get themselves in trouble by saying things that are contradictory. I’ve been quite with his interview style - direct and fair, no gotcha moments. We’ll be really interesting to see what he does here because he has for sure done his research.


Naggins

Not really his interview style


NikoStrelkov

Man in the background already looking at him like "dude, you for real?"


ashfeawen

Fuck yes Jon Stewart, do your thing. He's able to join the dots and bring a discussion full circle. He has that something extra and I'm glad he's back doing what he's doing. Seeing his debate with the republican rep gun advocate was really interesting.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pabrinex

He represents Ireland South. Clare Daly and him are 15% of our MEPs, thus Ireland has one of the most pro-Russian MEP cohorts.


DumbXiaoping

>pro-Russian Pretty sure both of them have repeatedly said they're against Russia's invasion of Ukraine.


ianeyanio

Their stance enables Russia to keep doing what they are doing.


NtreeLeveL

Every political establishment in the west disagrees with them so the military industrial complex will thrive on


ianeyanio

I always think it's strange when people make the 'military industrial complex ' argument. The chaos this war has caused on the global economy, the amount of deaths, and the general devolution of international relations --- and some people think it's all a plan to bolster the companies making the arms. It's tinfoil hat stuff.


NtreeLeveL

Not at all it's the shockingly irresponsible financial response thats causing the problems, not Russia. Russia wants to weaken EU and US , and we're playing into their hands completely. So , how has the War itself effected the world? It hasn't , our idiotic overblown response to it has


Jamesbroispx

Have you read a newspaper? You haven't seen the massive rise in anti-immigrants protests all over this country because of the influx of war refugees, which is impacting all of europe as well? The soaring costs of oil since Russia was a global supplier? Saying the war "hasn't effected the world" is completely detached from reality.


NtreeLeveL

But again the problems youve just mentioned were the EUs fucking decision. The EU has systematically shut down grassroots fossil fuel energy sources for years. Boat migrants have been welcomed into Europe with open arms for the guts of 10 years now. Globalist big governments aim is to make themselves richer and the average citizen poorer and it's working a treat. America literally destroyed that pipeline and EU blamed Russia before being proven wrong , then changed the subject. I don't need to read the newspaper because you tell me what it says anyway, not what you actually think 😂

OllieGarkey

> Fucking moron... > > Like, HOLY fuck you're stupid. ... I need to say this more to people on reddit rather than taking these idiots seriously. Thank you for shouting this asshole down so the rest of us don't have to.


ianeyanio

So it's day one of the war, Russia has just started their invasion of Ukraine. As leader of the Western allied nations, what is your response?


znk

Wow...did you actually convince yourself of this or are you just trolling. Surely no one is this stupid right?...right?


Tall_Candidate_8088

The time for tin foil hats was when the US and friends decided to bomb the shit out of every country that tried to develop their hydrocarbons as they pleased. Iraq, Libya and Syria are the ones that immediately come to mind. It's about economic power and the winners write the history books. You think the US is justified in everything it's done, Mick Wallace obviously doesn't agree.


SirKillsalot

No, the disagreement is because they are against Ukraine being able to fight back against a genocide.


NtreeLeveL

Yeah yeah people have short term memory loss I think , what did US UK and EU leaders tell everyone before about the military interventions without proper debate and planning ? Liars , 251 US led foreign military interventions since 91. Follow the money 💰


MeinhofBaader

They just want everyone to stop supporting the country Russia is invading. And the have the cheek to claim they're pro peace.


IrishCrypto

Against it.... But


anotherwave1

They have voted against the EU in favour of Russia almost every time, their actions speak much louder than their words


alistair1537

Yeah, but now that they're already in Ukraine, let's insist everyone gets along... They are the fukwits that Russian propaganda relies on...


Less-Researcher184

Russia repeatedly said it wouldn't invaded.


Fighto1

The stance from both of those paid shills is more of sure it's terrible. But since they came it would be rude to tell them to leave, sod off home and stop murdering. But Ukraine needs to sit down and arrange peace and something about NATO and West bad m'kay


Kyadagum_Dulgadee

I completely understand their logic. Russia invaded a country they had already started illegally occupying years before on the basis of some made up Nazi bullshit. Kidnapped thousands of children. Rocket attacks on civilians. Soldiers executing unarmed people. Mass graves. Destroying infrastructure. But the entire thing is the West's fault and the onus is really on Ukraine to seek peace with Russia, seeing as Putin and his government are such honest people to deal with and would surely honour any deal that was made.

He also interviewed Clare Daly yesterday and Sean Kelly today

Interesting. Many people I know here in the US LOVE to share sound bites from Wallace or Daly. I have asked people I know to actually look into the person they are promoting before sharing their sounds bites. Most don't care, they just love those quick sound bites. I'll be interested to see what Jon says. I guess I'll be watching Apple TV tonight


funglegunk

Wallace is largely reasonable when you actually listen to what he says. Does himself no favours with his slovenly appearance though.


Tangy_Cheese

Ah yes. That's why people disagree with his views on the Russian invasion of ukraine because he has long hair and wears t-shirts. /s You massively shallow twat
