1. If ever there was a mile drop, this is it!

[Rebl2]

3. Yes

Mic drop moment

23. Jon Stewart is a strong voice for democracy. I don't agree with him on every issue (99.1%) but he speaks the truth.

I'm glad he is on our side and not actively supporting the GQP agenda. He is getting unnecessary bad vibes because he compared Biden and Trump (otherism).

He will be on Biden's side until election day when push comes to shove. As the time nears to vote, I think his support will be seen and welcomed and make a difference in the final tallies.

If the truth were known, some of us would have liked to see a younger candidate with Biden's long-term political experience and savvy. But in a choice between Biden and tfg, any sane non-cultist will vote for Biden.

Nothing, no slip of the tongue, no pausing to get the right word out, no slow walking or other occasional 'gaffe' will make me see tfg as even being in the same league with Biden.

Trump is a clear and present danger to all Americans.

Biden can continue to lead this country in the right direction for all Americans.

44. You are absolutely right, usaf-vet.

"....in a choice between Biden and tfg, any sane non-cultist will vote for Biden." That is the political calculation that Biden's administration made when they chose to have him run again in 2024 instead of his initial pledge/plan, "4 years and retire". In 2020, I don't think they ever seriously considered Trump would even run or stand a chance of winning in 2024, but when the reality of the "chances and stakes" of a second term Trump hit home every means to bring in the votes outweighed the hope of returning to an American electoral normalcy.

I think they gave the GOP more credit than it has earned. Even going so far as to allow delaying Trump' s prosecution for actionable felonies as a token of and for the purpose of detent and space to heal a troubled democracy. Miscalculations made in the hope of a reasonable reconciliation of power politics and industrial level political crime. This is "new wave" society in a poorly oxygenated atmosphere. Dumb looks normal. We didn't evolve to thrive in this environment.

[usaf-vet]

45. I totally agree. Together, we make a cogent argument about why Biden is, at this time and in this environment.......

....... the ONLY sane choice.

[krkaufman]

24. "mic drop" .. but yes

… and also possibly why he no longer has a show on AppleTV+.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

38. I saw this interview last year.

I think it's from the Apple+TV show. It's had an audience response added though.

[SoFlaBro]

42. Audience response added

[underpants]

2. Spot on

[Hekate]

4. Jon's back. Welcome back, Jon.

[krkaufman]

25. Old clip

Not “back” … as this is a clip from his since cancelled AppleTV+ show.

[Hekate]

32. Vintage Jon, then

[Baitball Blogger]

5. How would I copy this to post it to run directly on Facebook?

I can only do it with a share link from Twitter, but I doubt many will bother to follow the link.

[KS Toronado]

7. Right click on it and choose " copy video address "

Go to fakebook and " post "

[Baitball Blogger]

9. thank you!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

39. here's the longer interview that finishes with this exchange.

There are several rebuttals on YouTube to the clear knockout by JS.

[spanone]

8. K&R

[Bumbles]

10. Perfect!

[Scrivener7]

11. Whoop!!!!

[modrepub]

12. I Wish This Guy Would Run for POTUS

Repubs had an actor be POTUS, why not a "comedian".

[onecaliberal]

13. At least John is brilliant.

[tazkcmo]

30. Ukraine likes their comedian.

Turns out he's smart,as are most good comedians, and as a bonus he's a pretty damn good leader.

I'd take John Stewart for my Senator but not my President yet. Unlike President Zelensky, Stewart is lacking leadership skills. Some of those he can learn as a Senator. Some you just have.

[Hekate]

33. Zelensky came from showbiz himself, after his Poli Sci degree

[soldierant]

37. Zelenskyy certainly demonstrates just how good a President a comedian can be.

[patphil]

14. Welcome back Jon!

After his first show, I wasn't sure if the old Jon Stewart was going to show up.
And now here he is!

[krkaufman]

26. Bad data

Clip is from his cancelled AppleTV+ show, from March 2023, not his new Monday-only Daily Show gig.

https://www.fatherly.com/news/watch-jon-stewart-identify-the-real-threat-to-kids-in-interview-with-gop-lawmaker

[patphil]

29. Oh.

[tazkcmo]

31. Still relevant and powerful.

Certainly not "bad data". The clip is from just under a year ago and neither the original poster or the DU poster presented the clip as recent. Also, even if the clip was 10 years old, it's relevant today.

[Berksh]

15. He nailed the bigger hypocracy

That same statement can be used on women's rights, Healthcare, Corporate regulation and everything else.

[kimbutgar]

16. I had written him off after that first episode of the Daily Show but he has redeemed himself by the third one

[krkaufman]

27. (not with the above clip)

… which is from March 2023:

28. I work in schools and have done active shooter drills gun violence is the leading cause of death of children in this

Country

https://giffords.org/lawcenter/gun-violence-statistics/

Guns are the largest cause of death of children under 18. The next is Motor vehicle crashes.

[DET]

17. Love It!

I wish more Democratic politicians would talk like this - boldly, factually, to the point. This gets your attention. Enough of the ‘my esteemed [traitorous] colleague from the wonderful state of [some shithole]…’. We need to forcefully call out Republican hypocrisy and hammer people with the truth.

[Warpy]

18. Those assholes, with their unkempt facial hair

are looking more like the Taliban every single day.

I have no problem with right wing Christians who refuse to let their children go to dray storytelling hour at the library.

I have a HUGE problem when they start wanting to put this into law, telling the rest of us what to do.

These people need to be stopped, voted out, and relegated to their wingnut churches. They get to piss and moan, they get to picket. They do NOT get to infringe on the rights of anyone else by forcing their insane dogma into law.

[ificandream]

19. AMEN!!!

[mitch96]

20. Republican CONDONED child murder plain and simple... Yell it from the roof tops. When ever the subject

is brought up, always Always ALWAYS SAY REPUBLICAN CONDONED CHILD MURDER...

[Upthevibe]

21. Thank you for posting

this.

We have a lot of material we can campaign on in all the races! We need to advertise on ALL channels and need to have specific ads for the particular viewership.

[lark]

22. Damn, I wish everyone would see this, it should be required watching.

R's love the killing because less of us and more of them. They put their kids in pricey private schools where no one can enter without going thru screening because they know they are at risk and other kids dying is totally fine with them, so nothing gets done to stop this. Oh yeah, they also get a lot of money from gun groups, no surprise.

[Conjuay]

34. I don't recognize the gentleman

he’s skinning alive.
Someone help me out, please.

[texasfiddler]

35. I hope he has Biden's Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Biden has ours. Just sayin!!!

[Stuart G]

36. K and R for all to see...Great Post ...kpete!

[HAB911]

40. K&R

keep it kicked

[AllaN01Bear]

41. ding ding ding ding ding

[Chakaconcarne]

43. and just 2 weeks ago, he was getting railed on around here...

Big picture, people.

He's totally on our side and it's okay to permit him to speak his mind and not like it.
