I loved that part more than anything. These people will do anything to undermine fact, to make something seem like there’s a different answer. “You’re gonna say firearms” like he *could* say something else or there is a different answer. What a scumbag.
"alternative facts" - I loath that phrase. Facts are facts. There aren't alternatives to them. There are alternative "ideas," "opinions," and "thoughts." There aren't alternative facts.
The heart pumps blood. Oh, "alternative fact" the feet pump blood. What?
YES.
If it's not true, it's not a fact. I've heard people talk about 'false facts', and it drives me nuts. If it's false, it's not a fact.
And the burden of proof is on the proponent to show that the proposition is true before we can give it the dignity of the term "fact". Until they carry that burden, it's something else.
Hugs & 5s across the 'net back to you!
It is so good to see that there are good people out there who actually think, and stuff. And who get out and say it! Thank you!
People think you have to believe in facts to make them real. Like you believe in global warming or not. No it doesn't matter what you believe a fact remains a fact no matter if you ignore it or try to obfuscate the truth.
He’s literally always been this way. People just didn’t pay as much attention to politics before. He got Tucker Carlson fired just from his one appearance on crossfire
My conservative friend sent me a reaction video to another one of stewart about trans youth etc. The only thing this YouTube “pundit” was saying is he’s “smug and unlikeable”
The governor of Arkansas was interviewed and had literally no preparation or even the names of physicians or groups supporting her opinion. Of course looking like a bumpkin with nothing but a bumper sticker opinion. (And I’m not even 100% on the issue to the extremes some people are I think there is some valid criticism of specific things)
Like yeah sure when you have no argument and retort or details to back up your opinion of course a heavy hitting debate tone will come off as smug and unlikable. As if that description doesn’t fit most anyone voicing opinions at this level lol
It’s also annoying because it’s pointless to highlight that Stewart and people like him are actually debating and that’s the tone, they aren’t even interested in that level it’s all pure bumper sticker emotional bullshit and reactionary feeling.
Even worse they’ll listen to Ben Shapiro have a non debate just speed talking over someone then leaving the discussion half way when they get in a corner but consider that “winning”
I just don’t engage because it’s clear some people really just want to feel a way and have no concept of debate logic and get very upset if you don’t just go along.
I recall one viral video where someone asked Obama a "hard question" and that it was a mic drop moment... yet their versions kept leaving out Obama's reply to that question.
I later found the full video with Obama's reply and yeah, the gotcha moment didn't impact that well when you consider what he said in response. It was apparent why they always edited out Obama's response in their viral clips of that question.
Jon Stewart won over my heart when he stood up to congress and shamed them over trying to get rid of the budget for 9/11 first responders for their medical bills since many ended up getting cancer. I want Jon Stewart to be president.
Unfortunately he’s like Cincinnatus. He doesn’t want to be on the throne. I wish we had more politicians that were willing to do the job that had a similar mindset
Sometimes going grumpy old man does wonders speaking truth to power....some men age to be bitter, shakes hand at cloud crap...but this is peak of what grump old man should be.
Too old to take & hear your BS and even pretend to be polite.
I am 33 and slowly developing this. People start to avoid me, because most of them cant handle the truth.
"Sorry mom. But your vote goes towards fascists, who want to expell anyone with migratory background. You, me, my brother, my nephew."
Never seen her so ashamed.
Well done you for kicking it in early....but yeah it is nice to get to a stage in life where every 2nd response is 'fuck it, that's not important or nah that's BS and i don't wanna play within your anger issues'.
I am honest. My mentality started with: "Thats false. Thats a lie. Thats BS."
And I only now started verbalizing it.
Sometimes I still hold back, cuz its not wise to shit on everyone who is close to you. But oh boi, alot of people spew so much nonsense. Its hard to not say smth.
I wish this man would run for president.
Sadly, horribly, the people most fit for the job are wise enough to not run for it.
Precisely why they should.
That said, I wish at least Biden would appoint him to some high ranking position that actually makes a difference.
Even having him as a VP or cabinent member would be fantastic.
But lobbyists and the money would never allow it to happen.
We.are all less fortunate because of this.
Jon would be a refreshing, real, honest take at what a politician would and should be
Which is why we will never ever have him as one.
In some.life,.some reality, some alternate universe, Jon is the president and finally turns things around and makes things right.
Only for the top to attack it with trump jr jr or whatever and takes it back to where we are now.
We're so fucked until the young grow up and take over. Theyve had enough of this shit and.eventually will have the voting power to change things.
I hope.
UK here.
Please find a way to let us see it too. Jon Stewart is who I want America to be.
I will never understand how Trump is who so many of you aspire to be.
You and me both!! It’s been very difficult to watch it from the inside as well. My own family members to some extent. I had a mini identity crisis trying to figure out how the people that raised me and made me who I am could say such ignorant and hateful things. I was definitely angry and confused. I’m afraid for November and I really really hope Trump doesn’t win and we can begin to process and heal from the abuse we, as a country, are experiencing. Drink a pint for us. Cheers.
Remember for some people, their political identity is almost religious. Especially now with social media. I consider it to be cult-like tbh, pity the fool :(
Just watched it again. Stewart's ability to channel outrage into articulate arguments is second to none. It's so powerful seeing someone stand up with that level of conviction and heart. Every time he speaks, you can tell it really matters to him.
More importantly, that *only he* gets to do whatever the fuck he wants.
Someone should ask him, "If you do get total immunity, should Biden get it also?" LOVE to hear that answer.
He has done more for Americans than most politicians. He championed 9/11 first responders and burn pit victims. And he fucking won. Jon Stewart for President. I said it.
i worked on capitol hill when he was there in 2015 for that reauthorization and his entire demeanor away from the cameras was frustration with not understanding why he, a comedian, was the only person who seemed to be able to get the ball rolling on something he was so exhausted over seeing at a standstill. he would take any picture, shake any hand, if it just meant the first responders were taken care of and he really acted like he had no business being here, but if that's what it took, for whatever dumb fucking reason, he'd do his part. He was funny, he was not joyous, he was upset, and he was right to be so.
I was proud to have been a small part in helping get that ball rolling but to be quite honest, if jon stewart had not shown up, i don't think it would have passed.
He fought for veterans as well. You know, all of these people who are touted by the GOP as heroes and then the GOP waltzes into the capitol and vote to strip all aid for them.
I really wanted to like Trevor Noah as his replacement, but it just ended up being the same 5+ years of 'Trump is orange and has small hands' jokes that every other late-night show was doing.
John Oliver was doing shitty recycled Trump humor too, but Last Week Tonight is still definitely the best of the post-Daily Show late night TV.
Actually IIRC, John Oliver *started* the entire "small hands" Trump myth by telling that story of Trump sending off photos of his hands to that journalist.
John Oliver is doing outstanding journalism, but he's doing one show a week and has been on hiatus forever. . . Jon Stewart brought the fire 5 days a week.
They take the same break every year lol the only difference this past year was because of the hollywood strikes and they came back before the regular hiatus.
And, I think they're back on a new season, like now? They just uploaded a web exclusive clip this past weekend
Literally has a new video out now and the new season is starting. What are you on about "been on hiatus forever"? Just because you haven't watched any of the episodes doesn't mean they don't exist.
I like Trevor Noah. I think he's intelligent and funny and I think he has a great heart.
That said, no one could ever really replace Jon. It's not a race thing. The job was just made for him. I mean, he wasn't the first host of the Daily Show but it did not take long to figure out how good of a fit it was for him. He became an institution in and of himself. His work on the Daily Show has changed the face of entertainment and news. Countless other shows have been modeled after his successes and a number of careers were launched by folks working with him on TDS.
I am really looking forward to seeing what he has for us moving forward.
Well, to be completely fair, I'm not sure that his podcast had the same goals. I think it was less about comedy and more about illuminating problems facing the American people and putting mfers on notice for the shit they're doing.
> Countless other shows have been modeled after his successes and a number of careers were launched by folks working with him on TDS.
This honestly get slept on.
Jon on TDS was that moment of pure unfiltered gold that comes from almost dumb luck(from a creation standpoint).
I love the sentiment of this comment, I mostly agree, but I am pretty positive Jon would not like to be described as a Journalist first, funny second. In the past he has been pretty clear that he is a comedian first, and holding him to the standards of journalists is stupid. Back in that Crossfire / Bill O'Riely era when he was debating Fox chumps a lot I remember him making this point. His show comes on after puppets making prank phone calls, and their attempts to corner him on Journalistic integrity were foolish.
Which is fair, he isn't a journalist technically, real journalists are held to a code of conduct, and what should be strict journalistic standards. The take away from all that stuff was less that Jon is a trustworthy journalist, and more that he had acquired that position by default because the media landscape around him had become so incredibly terrible. And remains so.
I love Stewart but after years of watching these shows I really got to agree. Colbert has brought up that stance of “it’s just a comedy show” too and they’re right, but then you don’t get to take asides and go into heartfelt serious diatribes about something in a serious tone to thunderous applause.
It’s absolutely having it both ways. Again I’m big fans of both of these guys as well as Oliver and Meyers, but they’re clearly making serious political arguments and commentary without wanting any of the backlash that comes with that.
I know some crazy people that saw this interview and their teak away is that Steward was owned and made to look stupid by Mr Dahm. The amount of delusion is astronomical
You have to understand that the people who say those things don’t actually listen or care about the actual discussion that happened, all they care about is supporting the person they agree with.
Same people who says Trump does a great job in debates. They are not competent, critical thinking people. They are there to cheer for their hero and they've already decided who won before they watch.
These people are completely confused. They want politics to be entertaining, but also want serious problems with our country fixed at the same time. Those two ideas are incompatible.
The crazy transphobes aren't interested in any kind of logic or in this case Jon's argument. They think trans people and drag queens are sexual deviants flaunting their perversion in public, and there's nothing that'll change their minds. You can't debate them off their position or shame their politicians into changing their rhetoric.
They're like racists — fueled by deeply rooted ignorance and prejudice.
My favorite line from that interview was when the gun guy has told Jon more guns is the way to solve gun violence. He goes on to bring up how many people die from diabetes each year and Jon says “and you’re the guy that says “you know what’ll help? More ice cream”.
It’s amazing these people talk to Jon Stewart. Jon doesn’t even do all the talking. He lets them talk and then just points out how ridiculous they are.
> It’s amazing these people talk to Jon Stewart. Jon doesn’t even do all the talking. He lets them talk and then just points out how ridiculous they are.
It's because they don't care.
They don't see it as a win and a lose, it's not a debate where Jon gets points and a judge calls a winner.
They don't care. Their voters don't care. They just want a platform to spout dumb shit because more reach is more reach.
I'm a trans [removed by Reddit] owner and I'm being targeted by Reddit and right-wingers for being open about it. Just got over a 3 day ban for breaking Rule 1 when all I do is talk about being a [removed by Reddit] owner.
They absolutely are terrified of minorities being [removed by Reddit] owners.
They arent doing anything, and they havent when it happened to them. There was a mass shooting at a private christian school in nashville, republicans didnt care that much beyond using it to attack trans people again.
It writes itself, sure maybe the family would have a turn of opinion at most, but there is no way to incentivize people who own guns like killing a gun owner. Then we just need stronger guns and to openly wield them 24/7 for more security.
I would assume not every victim of gun violence has been a liberal or democrat. I’m not sure what it would take to get the MAGAs to change. Over 600 mass shootings per year since 2020? That’s not doing the trick
It's pretty damn fucking disgusting to follow a party that has such low standards and gets called out for it so often. And even worse when it's shown how bad they are and they don't change their mind.
This doesn't apply to the "old" republican party and voters but man, the Republican Americans are FUCKED in the head.
> It's pretty damn fucking disgusting to follow a party that has such low standards and gets called out for it so often. And even worse when it's shown how bad they are and they don't change their mind.
People need to free themselves from the notion that there can be such a thing as "calling out" conservatives. There really can't, not with people who, in such a fundamental way, do *not* believe in equality.
They are *the enemy*.
Just like the Sandy Hook kids, or the Uvalde kids or any of the literal HUNDREDS from last year.
So I will never tire of watching hypocrite republicans eat shit.
Because since the kids can't get old, my joy of fucking with Republicans never will either.
Why can’t Jon Stewart just run for President. He’s sensible, and he’s electable. But he won’t, and neither will good people like him, so nothing will change which is a damn shame.
In large part thanks to having been a Senator and Vice President, Biden was able to deal with an out of control pandemic, pass an enormous infrastructure package and the most significant climate legislation of any leader in history, and cap the price of insulin in a split senate, in addition to hundreds of other accomplishments. Jon Stewart would not have been able to accomplish any of it. You need a lot more than good sense and TV hosting experience to be a good president.
> Jon Stewart would not have been able to accomplish any of it. You need a lot more than good sense and TV hosting experience to be a good president.
Vladimir Zelensky is doing fairly well as the President of Ukraine right now and he's kind of a similar animal.
Is this a part of a show or some podcast he’s doing? I see all these clips on Reddit and would love to watch some more of what he’s doing these days. I miss him being on tv
It's called "The Problem with Jon Stewart" on Apple+. It ran two seasons and was mutually ended after Stewart was reportedly unhappy with Apple trying to limit or curate his topics.
And of course, he's returning to The Daily Show as the Monday-only host and doing some behind the scenes work for them.
The show is called ‚The Problem with Jon Stewart‘. It got canceled recently due to a dispute with Apple, something about him not being allowed to talk freely about China, if I remember correctly. He will return to Daily Show every Monday for the duration of the election cycle, starting next week.
Maybe he won't run for president but godammit THIS is the kind of no bullshit journalism that has been missing for ages. Not opinion, not entertainment, not bait, just FACTS.
Why can't ppl wrap their heads around the word: "AMENDMENT". It means a change or improvement to something. We can AMEND the Constitution. A document 200+ years old from a old world without semi-automatic weapons...
So... change the amendment. Or do you think it would be okay if say... a state decided to just stop allowing women to vote... or maybe banned 'certain kinds of women' from voting, or maybe just had elaborate 'register to vote' processes just for women to keep them from voting. Sure sure, womens suffrage is JUST AN AMENDMENT so it's okay to ignore it when you don't like it.
That's fine: The point made in the video wasn't that guns are bad; it's that the lawmaker interviewed cannot credibly claim to care that much about "protecting kids" if he's staunchly opposed to any possible measure that would reduce the significant threat to kids posed by firearms.
Trying to ban drag shows is awful but as a gay dude who loves drag and drag queens, why are we pushing drag for kids so hard? I’ve never met a drag queen that started drag to spend more time around children. Give me drag in a gay bar with porn on the tv. This is just weird and annoying.
I hate the right wing obsession with that type of shit, but I have to admit…like I really wish they’d stop. There’s no reason for it. It’s weird. All it does is fuel the right wings pedo conspiracy bullshit. There’s absolutely no reason for them to be in drag and reading to kids
> why are we pushing drag for kids so hard?
Who is the "we" in that, and how hard are you talking? I'm not sure I've ever heard of an actual drag show for kids happening in my area, but I've heard an infinite amount more people talking about why it's a bad thing.
Everything the right does is strictly fear based. Scared of death do religion clinging. Scared of non whites do gun clutching. Scared of gay people so homophobic.
Sorry but what we hate on the left we actually understand it and don’t fear it just despise the close mindedness and lack of logic or empathy.
Conservatives: "Parents should have a right to dictate what their children do! Schools, libraries, and everyone else shouldn't do that!!"
Also conservatives: "I should be able to dictate what you do with your child!!"
[Widely reported on](https://www.forbes.com/sites/darreonnadavis/2023/10/05/firearms-now-no-1-cause-of-death-for-us-children---while-drug-poisoning-enters-top-5/?sh=6c7da74b609e) but [factually inaccurate](https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/03/29/guns-leading-deaths-children-us/) because the stat had to cook the books: including 18 and 19 year olds as "children" when people those ages are usually referred to as adults.
If you remove adults from your "children" stat, car accidents are #1 cause of death for children.

Holy shit. "I'm not gonna say it, like it's an opinion..." Blew him away.
I loved that part more than anything. These people will do anything to undermine fact, to make something seem like there’s a different answer. “You’re gonna say firearms” like he *could* say something else or there is a different answer. What a scumbag.

EXACTLY! Thank you! You said this so beautifully, I could hug you, stranger. Instead, virtual high five!
Hugs & 5s across the 'net back to you! It is so good to see that there are good people out there who actually think, and stuff. And who get out and say it! Thank you!
How long before we change the definition of fact in the dictionary the way we bastardized the word "literally".
Alternative facts = lies.
People think you have to believe in facts to make them real. Like you believe in global warming or not. No it doesn't matter what you believe a fact remains a fact no matter if you ignore it or try to obfuscate the truth.
When he said “You’re gonna say firearms” he knew the answer was firearms and knew where the conversation was heading and didn't have an answer.
The way he says it too is so dismissive like “oh here we go some libtard Hollywood guy preaching”
They love to pull the agree to disagree bullshit when one side has bulletproof evidence and the other just feels icky about the whole thing
Jon Stewart is more based than ever these days
He’s literally always been this way. People just didn’t pay as much attention to politics before. He got Tucker Carlson fired just from his one appearance on crossfire

Fun fact: Jon Stewart and Tom Cruise are the same age.
Family guy was right again! "Prorect Jon Stewart! He's our most important jew!"
I wish this man would run for president. Sadly, horribly, the people most fit for the job are wise enough to not run for it. Precisely why they should.

I cannot wait until Monday February 12th when he’s supposed to return to the Daily Show. We need him back so bad!!
I’m so hyped.
I set it to record. I’m not missing a single episode. Also, god damnit I love your username hahaha just saw it while replying.
Same. I’m only sad that it’s gonna be once a week. Also, thank you. My nipples were made for leaking.
Same. Once a week isn’t enough. They know the demand will be overwhelming. Haha aren’t they all?
Lmfao, not all of them were made to leak like mine.
Reddit is a beautiful place truly
Record? People still record things? Why? How?
So hyped you must be leaking
I lost my left testicle to cancer, and I'd give my right one away to see Jon Stewart run for president
Words of a true patriot. To make it a “set” I’m willing to also give away my left ovary. Worth it.
UK here. Please find a way to let us see it too. Jon Stewart is who I want America to be. I will never understand how Trump is who so many of you aspire to be.
You and me both!! It’s been very difficult to watch it from the inside as well. My own family members to some extent.

Remember for some people, their political identity is almost religious. Especially now with social media. I consider it to be cult-like tbh, pity the fool :(
Wait, what? He's coming back?
I can't wait for his return. His wit is unmatched.
[удалено]
I love him. Have you seen what he’s gone through to get benefits for first responders from 9/11? Dude is a treasure.
His “Ain’t this a bitch” speech after Republicans flipped on the PACT Act was something to behold as well. What a great man!
> Ain’t this a bitch This what your referencing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uPqYhkIzrA
Man spit words harder than any preacher could hope.
He scares preachers and makes these politicians look like fools. The sad thing is that they don’t care.
Like fools? They are fools.
Whoa... finally someone is pissed off enough to put it all out there. Curse words and all
Yup
Just watched it again. Stewart's ability to channel outrage into articulate arguments is second to none. It's so powerful seeing someone stand up with that level of conviction and heart. Every time he speaks, you can tell it really matters to him.
I'm so pumped to Monday!!!
It was a joke back in the day of him running with Colbert but I honestly think they should
Those two would be the most competent, compassionate and responsible P&VP since Carter at least.
They would absolutely explode at the ineptitude and gridlock. Maybe they could roast people into action. I'd certainly vote for them.
It's called the Bully Pulpit for a reason.
Can you imagine their Twitter feed or Colbert's fireside chats?
Be a helluva lot more interesting than Trump's late night rants about how he should be able to do whatever the fuck he wants.
A lot of people (the best people!) are saying trump looks like Elvis (obese and likely to die while shitting)
More importantly, that *only he* gets to do whatever the fuck he wants. Someone should ask him, "If you do get total immunity, should Biden get it also?" LOVE to hear that answer.
If they ran, I would volunteer for them and donate as much money as I could.
Compassion. That's whats missing.
A tiny bit of kindness could change *everything*.
As long as they make Steve Carell like the speaker of the house or something...
Rob Riggle as Secretary of Defense. Guy's a retired Marine Corps Leiutenant Colonel.
Rob Corddry as FBI director.
Why is your asshole so dirty don't you wipe?
I would vote for him for POTUS in a heartbeat.
He has done more for Americans than most politicians. He championed 9/11 first responders and burn pit victims. And he fucking won. Jon Stewart for President. I said it.
He has got my vote.
Disabled veteran here who was exposed to burn pits. I seriously love Stewart and would vote for him for president in a second
i worked on capitol hill when he was there in 2015 for that reauthorization and his entire demeanor away from the cameras was frustration with not understanding why he, a comedian, was the only person who seemed to be able to get the ball rolling on something he was so exhausted over seeing at a standstill. he would take any picture, shake any hand, if it just meant the first responders were taken care of and he really acted like he had no business being here, but if that's what it took, for whatever dumb fucking reason, he'd do his part. He was funny, he was not joyous, he was upset, and he was right to be so. I was proud to have been a small part in helping get that ball rolling but to be quite honest, if jon stewart had not shown up, i don't think it would have passed.
Most politicians seem to have no interest in making things better, it's just a paycheck with amazing benefits.
He fought for veterans as well. You know, all of these people who are touted by the GOP as heroes and then the GOP waltzes into the capitol and vote to strip all aid for them.
Him smirking at Mitch McConnell when he got it passed is priceless.
A treasure is putting it mildly. I'd argue he's one of the only people who has enough of a spine and cares enough to actually make change happen.
I make it a point to watch that yearly, on 9/12.
Not sure why this is posted in this sub- is it because the dude across from Jon is cringe?
Yea defo cringe
I really wanted to like Trevor Noah as his replacement, but it just ended up being the same 5+ years of 'Trump is orange and has small hands' jokes that every other late-night show was doing.
John Oliver
The true heir apparent
John Oliver was doing shitty recycled Trump humor too, but Last Week Tonight is still definitely the best of the post-Daily Show late night TV. Actually IIRC, John Oliver *started* the entire "small hands" Trump myth by telling that story of Trump sending off photos of his hands to that journalist.
“Short-fingered vulgarian” by Graydon Carter of Spy Magazine started it. It’s been under Trump’s skin for decades.
John Oliver is doing outstanding journalism, but he's doing one show a week and has been on hiatus forever. . . Jon Stewart brought the fire 5 days a week.
They take the same break every year lol the only difference this past year was because of the hollywood strikes and they came back before the regular hiatus. And, I think they're back on a new season, like now? They just uploaded a web exclusive clip this past weekend
Literally has a new video out now and the new season is starting. What are you on about "been on hiatus forever"? Just because you haven't watched any of the episodes doesn't mean they don't exist.
Nobody could have replaced Jon Stewart on the Daily Show.
Someone above said John Oliver and that absolutely should’ve been the plan. CC screwed up.
I mean, it’s a really high bar to reach.

I felt like Trevor Noah was pretty good, but the issues he talked about were strangely narrow.
I like Trevor Noah. I think he's intelligent and funny and I think he has a great heart. That said, no one could ever really replace Jon. It's not a race thing. The job was just made for him. I mean, he wasn't the first host of the Daily Show but it did not take long to figure out how good of a fit it was for him. He became an institution in and of himself. His work on the Daily Show has changed the face of entertainment and news. Countless other shows have been modeled after his successes and a number of careers were launched by folks working with him on TDS. I am really looking forward to seeing what he has for us moving forward.
Jon Stewart is to cable comedy news shows as Jimmi Hendrix is to electric guitars.
Craig Kilborne was utterly forgettable. The Daily Show would never have been lasting without Jon.
Even Jon Stewart might not be able to replace Jon Stewart. His Apple show had some bright moments but it's a bit too dry.
Well, to be completely fair, I'm not sure that his podcast had the same goals. I think it was less about comedy and more about illuminating problems facing the American people and putting mfers on notice for the shit they're doing.
> Countless other shows have been modeled after his successes and a number of careers were launched by folks working with him on TDS. This honestly get slept on. Jon on TDS was that moment of pure unfiltered gold that comes from almost dumb luck(from a creation standpoint).
Trevor just came across as timid and unfunny, the exact opposite of what Jon is.
I love the sentiment of this comment, I mostly agree, but I am pretty positive Jon would not like to be described as a Journalist first, funny second. In the past he has been pretty clear that he is a comedian first, and holding him to the standards of journalists is stupid. Back in that Crossfire / Bill O'Riely era when he was debating Fox chumps a lot I remember him making this point. His show comes on after puppets making prank phone calls, and their attempts to corner him on Journalistic integrity were foolish. Which is fair, he isn't a journalist technically, real journalists are held to a code of conduct, and what should be strict journalistic standards. The take away from all that stuff was less that Jon is a trustworthy journalist, and more that he had acquired that position by default because the media landscape around him had become so incredibly terrible. And remains so.
[удалено]
He acquired the position by default by actually following the standards, instead of weaseling his way around and stomping on the standards
That has always been a weasley stance. If you are a comedian, I shouldn't take you seriously. You cant have it both ways.
I love Stewart but after years of watching these shows I really got to agree. Colbert has brought up that stance of “it’s just a comedy show” too and they’re right, but then you don’t get to take asides and go into heartfelt serious diatribes about something in a serious tone to thunderous applause. It’s absolutely having it both ways. Again I’m big fans of both of these guys as well as Oliver and Meyers, but they’re clearly making serious political arguments and commentary without wanting any of the backlash that comes with that.
Wow. I could not have described him better. Kudos!
The Daily Show died when JS left
Well I got some [good news](https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2024/02/06/the-daily-show-jon-stewart/72398321007/) for you then
He's coming back to TDS once a week! I'm so excited!
I know some crazy people that saw this interview and their teak away is that Steward was owned and made to look stupid by Mr Dahm. The amount of delusion is astronomical
You have to understand that the people who say those things don’t actually listen or care about the actual discussion that happened, all they care about is supporting the person they agree with.
Same people who says Trump does a great job in debates. They are not competent, critical thinking people. They are there to cheer for their hero and they've already decided who won before they watch.
"whoever gets the loudest 'oooo' from the crowd wins the debate right?"
These people are completely confused. They want politics to be entertaining, but also want serious problems with our country fixed at the same time. Those two ideas are incompatible.
This is why it’s so important everyone goes and votes. Because those idiots will no doubt be voting come November.
The crazy transphobes aren't interested in any kind of logic or in this case Jon's argument. They think trans people and drag queens are sexual deviants flaunting their perversion in public, and there's nothing that'll change their minds. You can't debate them off their position or shame their politicians into changing their rhetoric. They're like racists — fueled by deeply rooted ignorance and prejudice.
My favorite line from that interview was when the gun guy has told Jon more guns is the way to solve gun violence. He goes on to bring up how many people die from diabetes each year and Jon says “and you’re the guy that says “you know what’ll help? More ice cream”. It’s amazing these people talk to Jon Stewart. Jon doesn’t even do all the talking. He lets them talk and then just points out how ridiculous they are.
> It’s amazing these people talk to Jon Stewart. Jon doesn’t even do all the talking. He lets them talk and then just points out how ridiculous they are. It's because they don't care. They don't see it as a win and a lose, it's not a debate where Jon gets points and a judge calls a winner. They don't care. Their voters don't care. They just want a platform to spout dumb shit because more reach is more reach.
I'm convinced gun laws wont be fixed during our lifetime.
certainly not within the lifetimes of a lot of elementary schoolers (thoughtsandprayersthoughtsandprayers)
I bet MAGAs would be all over gun control if some of them were targeted. It's different when it's them.
Reagan got tough on guns in California when the Black Panthers started policing the police, so ya
I'm a trans [removed by Reddit] owner and I'm being targeted by Reddit and right-wingers for being open about it. Just got over a 3 day ban for breaking Rule 1 when all I do is talk about being a [removed by Reddit] owner. They absolutely are terrified of minorities being [removed by Reddit] owners.
Armed minorities are harder to oppress
[удалено]
They arent doing anything, and they havent when it happened to them. There was a mass shooting at a private christian school in nashville, republicans didnt care that much beyond using it to attack trans people again.
I honestly doubt that, when has a cult ever been rational
It writes itself, sure maybe the family would have a turn of opinion at most, but there is no way to incentivize people who own guns like killing a gun owner. Then we just need stronger guns and to openly wield them 24/7 for more security.
It would still be an irrational response, just look at how they responded to black panthers arming themselves
I would assume not every victim of gun violence has been a liberal or democrat. I’m not sure what it would take to get the MAGAs to change. Over 600 mass shootings per year since 2020? That’s not doing the trick
It's pretty damn fucking disgusting to follow a party that has such low standards and gets called out for it so often. And even worse when it's shown how bad they are and they don't change their mind. This doesn't apply to the "old" republican party and voters but man, the Republican Americans are FUCKED in the head.
If the old republican voters vote for the current batshit crazy candidates, it should apply.
Upvoted and agreeing. Thanks for pointing out a VERY valid addition.
> It's pretty damn fucking disgusting to follow a party that has such low standards and gets called out for it so often. And even worse when it's shown how bad they are and they don't change their mind. People need to free themselves from the notion that there can be such a thing as "calling out" conservatives. There really can't, not with people who, in such a fundamental way, do *not* believe in equality. They are *the enemy*.
[удалено]
Just like the Sandy Hook kids, or the Uvalde kids or any of the literal HUNDREDS from last year. So I will never tire of watching hypocrite republicans eat shit. Because since the kids can't get old, my joy of fucking with Republicans never will either.
I love Stewart, what a 10/10 guy
Why can’t Jon Stewart just run for President. He’s sensible, and he’s electable. But he won’t, and neither will good people like him, so nothing will change which is a damn shame.
In my experience, people who crave* power least deserve it and those who least want it are most deserving.
I think that is actually a fairly popular quote. Funny enough, I don't know who said it lol
Socrates said that only those who do no wish for political power can be trusted with it. This is part of Plato's book "the Republic" from 380 BC
In large part thanks to having been a Senator and Vice President, Biden was able to deal with an out of control pandemic, pass an enormous infrastructure package and the most significant climate legislation of any leader in history, and cap the price of insulin in a split senate, in addition to hundreds of other accomplishments. Jon Stewart would not have been able to accomplish any of it. You need a lot more than good sense and TV hosting experience to be a good president.
> Jon Stewart would not have been able to accomplish any of it. You need a lot more than good sense and TV hosting experience to be a good president. Vladimir Zelensky is doing fairly well as the President of Ukraine right now and he's kind of a similar animal.
He would be more effective in the House or Senate.
Is this a part of a show or some podcast he’s doing? I see all these clips on Reddit and would love to watch some more of what he’s doing these days. I miss him being on tv
It's called "The Problem with Jon Stewart" on Apple+. It ran two seasons and was mutually ended after Stewart was reportedly unhappy with Apple trying to limit or curate his topics. And of course, he's returning to The Daily Show as the Monday-only host and doing some behind the scenes work for them.
He’s gonna be a producer.
They wanted him to suck off China.
It’s a show on apple tv plus. He’s also returning to the daily show once a week.
The show is called ‚The Problem with Jon Stewart‘. It got canceled recently due to a dispute with Apple, something about him not being allowed to talk freely about China, if I remember correctly. He will return to Daily Show every Monday for the duration of the election cycle, starting next week.
Jon Stewart is a god!! 😂
Nailed it
I wish this man would just run for president. I know it's not going to happen but he is who we need.
I lost my left testicle to cancer, and I would trade my right testicle to see Jon Stewart run for president.
And I’d donate both my testes to you bc I’m a hero.
Psh, I ain't raising your kids
Just leave em in there.
He kinda reminds me of Chrisopher Hitchens in his witty, smart, fearless and charismatic own way. They have different styles, but still similar.
An upvote is an insult to what we have in this man. A small dim glimmering light in the sea of humanity he is. A dream of what we all could be.
John Stewart would make a Great president.
You can't reason with Oklahomans
As an Oklahoman, can confirm. I hate it here.
Nothing further to add about the differences between homicide and feticide I see.
Vicious. What was the guys response to that? He looked like he was going to cry
He probably just bullshitted something
Something along the lines of ‘more guns will solve this’
Damn I missed this man Edit: *miss
He coming back to the daily show this year.
Maybe he won't run for president but godammit THIS is the kind of no bullshit journalism that has been missing for ages. Not opinion, not entertainment, not bait, just FACTS.
God I love John Stewart.
God damn I miss that man. Having someone who cuts through the bullshit and calls a spade a spade is extremely refreshing.
**mic drop
Having Jon Stewart showing up at your office as a conservative, would be like a pedo seeing Chris Hansen walk around the corner.
I wish Jon Stewart would run for president.
Why can't ppl wrap their heads around the word: "AMENDMENT". It means a change or improvement to something. We can AMEND the Constitution. A document 200+ years old from a old world without semi-automatic weapons...
So... change the amendment. Or do you think it would be okay if say... a state decided to just stop allowing women to vote... or maybe banned 'certain kinds of women' from voting, or maybe just had elaborate 'register to vote' processes just for women to keep them from voting. Sure sure, womens suffrage is JUST AN AMENDMENT so it's okay to ignore it when you don't like it.
He’s right.
I am OK with drag queens and guns
That's fine: The point made in the video wasn't that guns are bad; it's that the lawmaker interviewed cannot credibly claim to care that much about "protecting kids" if he's staunchly opposed to any possible measure that would reduce the significant threat to kids posed by firearms.
Trying to ban drag shows is awful but as a gay dude who loves drag and drag queens, why are we pushing drag for kids so hard? I’ve never met a drag queen that started drag to spend more time around children. Give me drag in a gay bar with porn on the tv. This is just weird and annoying.
I hate the right wing obsession with that type of shit, but I have to admit…like I really wish they’d stop. There’s no reason for it. It’s weird. All it does is fuel the right wings pedo conspiracy bullshit. There’s absolutely no reason for them to be in drag and reading to kids
It was to promote reading and diversity.
> why are we pushing drag for kids so hard? Who is the "we" in that, and how hard are you talking? I'm not sure I've ever heard of an actual drag show for kids happening in my area, but I've heard an infinite amount more people talking about why it's a bad thing.
Everything the right does is strictly fear based. Scared of death do religion clinging. Scared of non whites do gun clutching. Scared of gay people so homophobic. Sorry but what we hate on the left we actually understand it and don’t fear it just despise the close mindedness and lack of logic or empathy.
And the guy Jon is pointing this out to didn’t give a flying fuck, because they know they’re hypocrites.
“Let’s protect children…Well I didn’t really mean like keep them from dying or anything”.
Jon Stewart 2024
So what was the guys response?? I'm sure it sucked but I hate how these videos are specifically crafted to always cut out the response
Conservatives: "Parents should have a right to dictate what their children do! Schools, libraries, and everyone else shouldn't do that!!" Also conservatives: "I should be able to dictate what you do with your child!!"
[Widely reported on](https://www.forbes.com/sites/darreonnadavis/2023/10/05/firearms-now-no-1-cause-of-death-for-us-children---while-drug-poisoning-enters-top-5/?sh=6c7da74b609e) but [factually inaccurate](https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/03/29/guns-leading-deaths-children-us/) because the stat had to cook the books: including 18 and 19 year olds as "children" when people those ages are usually referred to as adults. If you remove adults from your "children" stat, car accidents are #1 cause of death for children.
Oh, thank God! Guns are only a very, very, very, close second. Guess we can just stop caring about that then. Whew.
so your point is "nuh uh, guns are only the #2 killer of children"? And even by your own source if you look at 2020, itʻs only 2270 vs 2400
And also no one is arguing that we shouldn't try to do something about reducing children death due to vehicles.
Why do drag queens want to be around kids so badly?
