But what’s true, is in today’s society, you aren’t targeted by institutions for falling in line with recent, progressive trends. It was the complete opposite as recent as 20 years ago.

@@Khronogi And now our own billionaire loser Clive Palmer is bringing Tucker Carlson to Australia to $300 ticket sell out tours, to tell us; 'what is wrong with our country' and why conservatives don't have enough freedom to abuse and punish anyone not like them.
Butker's mother, Elizabeth Butker, is a medical physicist at Emory University in Atlanta. She has been at the university since 1988 and works in Emory's Winship Department of Radiation Oncology. Keller spent as much as 35 years as a medical physicist at the prestigious Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in Atlanta. She earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1985 and later earned a master's. While blazing a career in physics, Keller raised two children, including Harrison and his older sister Charlotte, who played soccer at Emory. All that completely contradicts Butker's view that women should focus on marriage and raising a family rather than enjoying productive careers like their male counterparts.
Butker never said women should focus on marriage and raising a family rather than enjoying productive careers. Implicit in his question "How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about *all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career?"* is the assumption these women will have careers. There is simply no way to square that with your claim that Butker was saying women should not careers. The pathetic and hateful attempts to use this man's mother to bash him are self-defeating. The mere fact that she is Butker's *mother* completely destroys this argument. Butker literally said *"Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world,* but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world." That could be a statement made directly to his mother. She had a successful career, but I would bet money that if you asked her which was more important to her, family or career, she would say family.

@@wolfofthewest8019 It’s a bit of the wrong context to say that when college is (supposed to be) mostly a career-focused environment and then the final memory of your college being, “there are going to be more fulfilling things in your life”. Even that was not even a terrible sentiment, just don’t say that at a graduation speech. It’s still a conservative Catholic speech at a conservative Catholic college, so it really is a nontroversy and I don’t think it’s worth much thought. Just a guy committing a cultural faux pas, not much else.
It was deeper then a political opinion. Kaepernick was canx because he stood up for social injustices. But simpletons who put symbols before human life couldn't understand that.
@@pyrovaniaCorrection, Kaepernick was canceled for peacefully exercising his constitutional right to assembly and calling attention to systemic racism. It wasn’t in the workplace, and it was the MAGA cultists who made it political.
Keeping Americans outraged and angry at each other makes a lot of money for media conglomerates. A peaceful country where both parties and their constituents treat each other respectfully would be a disaster for the outrage farmers that control modern discourse.
Outrage is extremely profitable in all forms of media (including social media). If Americans wanted something different, then it would be reflected in the content. We are the problem and the source.
@@artlesscalamity Yes, it's true that many people 'want' outrage even if they won't admit it. But I feel like the media needs to be driven by more than just profit-seeking. We should hold them to a degree of responsibility and accountability.

The very same people who claim the left is somehow trying to “cancel” Harrison Butker by criticizing his bigotry are now demanding Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder be silenced and punished for calling out Harrison’s bigotry. They are all laughably transparent hypocrites.

As a Republican... The Daily Show was UNWATCHABLE without Jon Stewart. The writing, arguments, and presentation are all just BETTER with Jon. Jon makes a stronger and clearer argument that's easier to see from either side of the aisle.
"As a Republican" That explains it all. Jon is ok but not as funny and cutting as before. Trevor Noah 'critique of American politics was very insightful and bitingly humorous.
“We are not censored or silenced. We are surrounded by and inundated with more speech than has ever existed in the history of communication. And it is all weaponized by professional outrage hunters of all stripes, scouring the globe for graduation speech snippets, offhand comments during promotional tours, out of context comedy bits, lame marketing ideas, or any words or phrases they believe they can latch onto to generate monetized clicks. Outrage is the engine of our modern media economy.” Bravo, Jon, bravo.
Credit probably goes to the... writers. Real Jon is interviewer Jon. This is a script written by a few people. And wonderfully done. Just please don't make Jon an idol.
@@IsuiGtzthe writers certainly deserve their credit for the monologue, but let’s not pretend that it doesn’t hit close to home for Jon, or that he’s just the entertainer reading the prompter.

Seriously, at what point does the American working class realize this is just another way these people grift. The constant claims of being silenced while being the absolute loudest about their beliefs and rarely facing any real repercussions for their actions. The MAGA crowd has such a pervasive victim mentality in every aspect of their lives despite their positions of privilege because they are being manipulated by these grifting millionaires exploiting them and their worst fears/insecurities for their own personal gain. Nobody cared about Harrison Butker until he made this speech, it's the most blatantly transparent attempt to set him up for a career in politics after his playing career. And his target audience is the most susceptible to this kind of obvious political grandstanding
Speaking of libraries... have you seen the video by Andrewism or the SRSLY Wrong Boys podcast about "Library Economy" or "Library Socialism"? Very cool model upon which we can build a better cooperative society for all, if we choose to.
Not a big fan of Stewart defending cancel culture, that clearly exists and is a problem. But a huge fan of him using those same standards to expose the MAGA cancel CULTure under Trump. I don't like cancel culture when it happens to both Kaepernick or Seinfeld.
On dozens of TV shows: "I have been cancelled!" On dozens of radio shows: "I have been cancelled!" On dozens of podcasts: "I have been cancelled!" In dozens of newspapers: "I have been cancelled!" In dozens of magazine interviews: "I have been cancelled!" In press conferences: "I have been cancelled!" At rallies: "I have been cancelled!" In dozens of books: "I have been cancelled!" In dozens of streaming specials: "I have been cancelled!" Odd how those who scream endlessly about being cancelled have vastly more places they can speak than 99% of the population.
@@keralytekid I am just sick of hearing all of the Trevor Noah hate, just because he more openly favored liberal messaging (I’m giving everyone the benefit of the doubt about that actually being the biggest reason).

@@pmpowalisz Thank you for your honest and vulnerable response. I could see how one would take praising Jon Stewart for coming back as Trevor Noah hate. I think there was a better way that the original comment could have been phrased if they weren't meaning to disparage Trevor Noah's work and time on The Daily Show. Trevor Noah brought a fresh and diverse perspective to the show, often providing insightful and nuanced takes on complex issues. While he may have leaned more openly towards liberal messaging, he made genuine efforts to present multiple viewpoints and foster meaningful discussions. It's important to recognize and appreciate the contributions he made to the show, rather than focusing solely on a comparison with his predecessor. Each host brings their own unique strengths and style, and Trevor Noah certainly made a significant impact during his tenure.
On TV, radio, and social media, I have increasingly noticed that I hear about people "being outraged" _before_ I hear about the thing they are supposedly mad about.
From ALL the actual news, this is what he's going after?! Did you mention those 450.000 dead young Ukranians that died for US interests only ? 36 bio-labs maybe?!?
Headlines are so atrocious now. Right-leaning articles say use that term "Liberals are outraged about ____" and left leaning articles say "Conservatives attack___". We are so polarized and ready to fight. Both sides fall for it.
It just happend to me right now! That line about butker sure got lots of boos tho didnt it? Lol!!!! called it a big nothing burger basically. Then jon starts to explain about manufactured outrage for clicks....*chefs kiss* oh John, i missed you brother.
I've noticed that half of modern tabloid article are basically "We found five people on a social media site who are upset about something and we're pretending like it's a mass movement."
They say you can turn the channel or walk out but as soon as you do they start crying about being cancelled. They're going to be whining no matter what!
And, just like with a baby or puppy, now that we've confirmed that there's nothing actually wrong, we just have to ignore their whining or they'll never learn. It's rough, especially in the beginning, but even old dogs can learn new tricks.
I guess. But seems like a lot of people did turn the channel or walk out. We see that with movies and tv shows in the last year. They just moved on and they wonder why a lot of movies are bombing ... and something like Godzilla Minus One did great especially for it's budget.
Free Speech does not mean you can say anything you want without a response. These people either don't understand that or are deliberately lying to stir up their viewers and followers. And they are a bunch of weak, whiny clowns.
Many magas crave the clicks and views online. The louder you are, the ruder, the more confrontational, the more you’re willing to burn things down, the more you look and act like a maga.
Conservative pundits don’t care about the actual First Amendment and what it really applies to any more than they care about ‘facts.’ They know that it riles up the base and they know that only a handful have actually read the Constitution and few of the ones who have understand the context, nuance, and legal implications. It is also no different than how bigots and racists will complain when being called out that they’re victims of political correctness.
@@smithsmith6402Understandable where you're coming from. The difference, in my opinion, is that they don't blow things way out of proportion.

Butker utilized his “free speech” in an absolutely asinine way. Everyone ELSE is now utilizing their “free speech” right to call out his douchery in response. That’s not “cancel culture,” it’s “consequences.”
A Catholic man speaking to a Catholic audience about Catholicism is "absolutely asinine?" Where do you get the right to punish someone for that? Consequences! That word does not mean what you think it means.
@@Twistedmiss I thought “doxing” meant revealing the name and maybe address or other personal details of a private individual who wanted to remain anonymous. How does that apply to an entertainer (pro sports player) who’s giving a public speech as themselves? Who was “doxxed”?
We have the same phenomenon here in Europe: Conservatives mix up "being opposed" wih "being silenced". That's some strange take on freedom of speech, that people should not be allowed to argue against you, right ?
Both sides play on the biggest "fears" on their side. Republicans tell their base that Democrats attack free speech and that they will be cancelled, and as Stewart points out, they only cancel themselves... Meanwhile, Democrats tell their base that everyone needs to be tolerant of others' opinions and lifestyle choices--unless of course those opinions and lifestyle choices are inherently conservative, then they cannot be tolerated.
No, I have not heard of a single conservative that equates being opposed to being silenced. Maybe go check your ears, and check your eyes while you're at it.
To be fair, there have been multiple examples where conservatives were uninvited to talk on a college campus after backlash by certain student elements. I can give them to you if you want.
@@ChadGeri-kd7xh Ann Coulter comes to mind, but then I think of Kathy Griffin, and she was treated worse. From an informed "not American" pov, one side is as bad as the other. And my country isn't any better, so not America-bashing. This is a problem in the whole Western world!
@@ChadGeri-kd7xh being un invited to speak on college campuses isnt being silenced. Remember freedom of speech is not freedom from the consequences of your speech. If a college decides they dont want to support your speech that is their freedom of speech being exercised.
Technically, they could've been silenced somewhere else. You don't have to be silenced everywhere to be silenced. Most of us have been silenced in a library. :) And if you WERE on the air elsewhere and being silenced and you're in a new location and no longer silenced, that doesn't negate your previous silencing. See Mehdi Hasan or Sangita Myska.
That argument wasn't very strong. The reality is that there are plenty of forums waiting to shout at someone not towing the progressive line. Hannity and Carlson being loathsome hypocrites doesn't change that
@@geopolitix7770 And? It's the internet, people shouting at each other seems to be its whole point. Does progressive line mean not being a bigot? Because that should probably be the default.
@NuiYabuko I don't disagree with Jon's point about monetization of outrage on both ends of the political spectrum. That was very well made. I just found the examples to be awfully unbalanced and left leaning. If he wanted to really drive the point home about "why can't we be better people online", a little bit of balance might have made his mostly liberal audience take a few moments to consider their own outrage.
@@geopolitix7770 The problem with that idea is.....what outrage? There's a reason conservatives have to recycle the same examples over and over. Sure, lets stop to complain about a puddle as a tsunami is looming....the amount of that outrage is completely lop-sided.
@@HappinessDIY Sorry, I’ll make sure I leave my comments about this issue on videos that are completely unrelated. Lol What are you even talking about anyway? Didn’t understand Jon’s message, huh?
the republicans and conservatives are THE projectionists. Just watch trump complain about someone like "crooked Hilary" when he's the biggest crook of the millennium !
Nobody was silencing Butker, unless his voice couldn't be heard over the sound of a couple hundred million eyes rolling in unison. Beyond that nobody gave two craps about him then nor now.
Had it not been for social media and this over the top need (as discussed by Jon) to be mad at every single thing, the Butker speech would have offended a few hundred in the crowd of this small, relatively unknown, school, but now the school has a lot of free publicity for future nut jobs that will think their school is for religious freaks. Not sure that it actually is.
The best part of Butkers speech is forgetting his mom is a tenured professor, not some suzy homemaker that was kept barefoot and pregnant like he wants those students to be. Funny how that works.
Never mind that Butker makes $4 million dollars a year in salary alone (he also has endorsement income) and can afford a stay-at-home wife, while most families need two incomes to afford a home and all the other expenses of life in America.
Really reminds you how easy it is for far right propaganda to brainwash kids online these days. You know that's what broke his brain, since I doubt his parents taught him to think like that about women, education, and their place in the world.
America was founded by radical fundamentalists, who fled their homelands to start anew. This radical fundamentalism is now in the blood of every right and left wing person.
For every such "news" he doesn't tell you about the actual 150 problems the US is creating world wide. These are not journalists, these are news readers. 450.000 young Ukranians died over strictly US interests, bio-labs they openly talk about, and weakening Russia, their latest boogeyman. Right after US founded terrorists and US created co*ona, ain't it great?
From ALL the actual news, this is what he's going after?! Did you mention those 450.000 dead young Ukranians that died for US interests only ? 36 bio-labs maybe?!?
As Benjamin Franklin exited the Constitutional Convention he was asked, "What kind of government are we going to have?" Franklin answered, "A republic, if you can keep it." 237 years have passed since that remark and MAGA has shown they don't want to keep it.
It was barely even a republic back then. Only white male land owners could vote at first. The right of non-land owning white men wouldn't come until years later.
I used to call myself a Republican, but the party stopped being what the party was supposed to represent long ago. I don't know how people that still proudly follow like sheeple can justify anything.
Its just a cult of personality now. I don't even know if "republicans" exist anymore, besides maybe one or two people. They're Trumpists now, the lot of them.

Noam Chomsky wrote one of the most important books on mainstream media called "Manufacturing Consent" and it is a must-read (or at least get the cliff notes).

It's obvious he didn't mean it the way he is being attacked for. He just composed his thoughts poorly and was naively tone-deaf to the crowd of women who had no plans for marriage or children that day.

And you're drinking it from a firehose when watching Jon Stewart.
Butker's mother, Elizabeth Butker, is a medical physicist at Emory University in Atlanta. She has been at the university since 1988 and works in Emory's Winship Department of Radiation Oncology. Keller spent as much as 35 years as a medical physicist at the prestigious Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in Atlanta. She earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1985 and later earned a master's.
While blazing a career in physics, Keller raised two children, including Harrison and his older sister Charlotte, who played soccer at Emory. All that completely contradicts Butker's view that women should focus on marriage and raising a family rather than enjoying productive careers like their male counterparts.
Butker never said women should focus on marriage and raising a family rather than enjoying productive careers. Implicit in his question "How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about *all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career?"* is the assumption these women will have careers. There is simply no way to square that with your claim that Butker was saying women should not careers.
The pathetic and hateful attempts to use this man's mother to bash him are self-defeating. The mere fact that she is Butker's *mother* completely destroys this argument. Butker literally said *"Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world,* but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world." That could be a statement made directly to his mother. She had a successful career, but I would bet money that if you asked her which was more important to her, family or career, she would say family.
@@wolfofthewest8019Why didnt he say the same to all the male graduates then? That being a father will be more important than a career?

Conservatives are so silenced they are screaming constantly that they can't hear anything else because of what they are so afraid of... silence
For decades, Fox has cried about main stream media while touting themselves as the most watched news network.
Perhaps silence frightens them because they might hear the scary truth.
Seriously, at what point does the American working class realize this is just another way these people grift. The constant claims of being silenced while being the absolute loudest about their beliefs and rarely facing any real repercussions for their actions. The MAGA crowd has such a pervasive victim mentality in every aspect of their lives despite their positions of privilege because they are being manipulated by these grifting millionaires exploiting them and their worst fears/insecurities for their own personal gain. Nobody cared about Harrison Butker until he made this speech, it's the most blatantly transparent attempt to set him up for a career in politics after his playing career. And his target audience is the most susceptible to this kind of obvious political grandstanding

I think there was a better way that the original comment could have been phrased if they weren't meaning to disparage Trevor Noah's work and time on The Daily Show. Trevor Noah brought a fresh and diverse perspective to the show, often providing insightful and nuanced takes on complex issues. While he may have leaned more openly towards liberal messaging, he made genuine efforts to present multiple viewpoints and foster meaningful discussions. It's important to recognize and appreciate the contributions he made to the show, rather than focusing solely on a comparison with his predecessor. Each host brings their own unique strengths and style, and Trevor Noah certainly made a significant impact during his tenure.
On TV, radio, and social media, I have increasingly noticed that I hear about people "being outraged" _before_ I hear about the thing they are supposedly mad about.

We have the same phenomenon here in Europe: Conservatives mix up "being opposed" wih "being silenced".

Both sides play on the biggest "fears" on their side. Republicans tell their base that Democrats attack free speech and that they will be cancelled, and as Stewart points out, they only cancel themselves... Meanwhile, Democrats tell their base that everyone needs to be tolerant of others' opinions and lifestyle choices--unless of course those opinions and lifestyle choices are inherently conservative, then they cannot be tolerated.
No, I have not heard of a single conservative that equates being opposed to being silenced. Maybe go check your ears, and check your eyes while you're at it.

And if you WERE on the air elsewhere and being silenced and you're in a new location and no longer silenced, that doesn't negate your previous silencing. See Mehdi Hasan or Sangita Myska.

The best part of Butkers speech is forgetting his mom is a tenured professor, not some suzy homemaker that was kept barefoot and pregnant like he wants those students to be. Funny how that works.
Never mind that Butker makes $4 million dollars a year in salary alone (he also has endorsement income) and can afford a stay-at-home wife, while most families need two incomes to afford a home and all the other expenses of life in America.
Yeah identifying irony and self reflection are not traditionally common personality traits among the Catholics. Signed, a guy who was raised Catholic
Really reminds you how easy it is for far right propaganda to brainwash kids online these days. You know that's what broke his brain, since I doubt his parents taught him to think like that about women, education, and their place in the world.
And she put him through college.
Another case of Republican Hypocrisy.
Excellent show Mr. Stewart. You are in a class of your own and thank you for coming back.
America was founded by radical fundamentalists, who fled their homelands to start anew. This radical fundamentalism is now in the blood of every right and left wing person.
Getting the truth out, best video I ever seen about hypocrisy 👍🏻
Truer words were never spoken!
Jon Stewart is a shining beacon of sanity in our insane world.
For every such "news" he doesn't tell you about the actual 150 problems the US is creating world wide. These are not journalists, these are news readers. 450.000 young Ukranians died over strictly US interests, bio-labs they openly talk about, and weakening Russia, their latest boogeyman. Right after US founded terrorists and US created co*ona, ain't it great?
And speaks truth with humor.
Oh look my comment disappeared. On you tube? No way.
From ALL the actual news, this is what he's going after?! Did you mention those 450.000 dead young Ukranians that died for US interests only ? 36 bio-labs maybe?!?
No - he seems like another monkey throwing his feces
As Benjamin Franklin exited the Constitutional Convention he was asked, "What kind of government are we going to have?" Franklin answered, "A republic, if you can keep it." 237 years have passed since that remark and MAGA has shown they don't want to keep it.
💯
Conservatives demanding to live in a fascist theocracy is ruining America.
It was barely even a republic back then. Only white male land owners could vote at first. The right of non-land owning white men wouldn't come until years later.
You hit it on the head
How has MAGA shown that they don't want to keep it?
Great show, thank you !!!!!!
Thank you, Jon, for speaking the truth! ❤
I used to call myself a Republican, but the party stopped being what the party was supposed to represent long ago. I don't know how people that still proudly follow like sheeple can justify anything.
Its just a cult of personality now. I don't even know if "republicans" exist anymore, besides maybe one or two people. They're Trumpists now, the lot of them.
I honestly can’t call them Republicans. The Republican Party is gone and a cult took over.
I still call myself a republican. I call myself a "progressive Republican. The party left us. We didn't leave the party.
My hat to you both above. That's how we all Americans should see it when the facts are presented.
same with the democrats. I've been a lifelong democrat, but this party has gone around the bend.
Thank you Jon Stewart for saying this! ❤

One of your best EVER!
I have seen this so many times its hilarious TY John!

It's about time that mainstream media refers to them as a cult. Do more of this!
Both parties belong to the same cult.
Noam Chomsky wrote one of the most important books on mainstream media called "Manufacturing Consent" and it is a must-read (or at least get the cliff notes).

Nailed it!!!
This episode hit the nail square on the head
The women on Fox News is defending the guy that said "why do you want a career when it's your responsibility to ONLY be a stay-at-home wife?"
They said while at home of course, otherwise that would just be hypocritical, right?
He didn't say that. You're allowed to not like what he said, but you can't change it to suit your agenda. Sorry there are people out there who would like to focus on family instead of money...
@@philippegratton9958 Enjoy your delusions. ua-cam.com/video/-JS7RIKSaCc/v-deo.html
@@philippegratton9958 He didn't say that. Correct. He encouraged more students at that school to make more white babies.
AKA, 'Breeders'.
Butker’s speech sounded straight of handmaids tale.
very much Pre-Vatican II gilled BS.
Of course, because he's a klansman. Oh please 😂
It's obvious he didn't mean it the way he is being attacked for. He just composed his thoughts poorly and was naively tone-deaf to the crowd of women who had no plans for marriage or children that day.
How do you spell incel? Nitwit who wants a "trad wife" when he gets to wear his big boy pants?

Powerfully Agonizing

We are not censored or silenced.
We are surrounded by and inundated with more speech than has ever existed in the history of communication.

Outrage is the engine of our modern media economy.
Yes! Bravo, Jon!
