ahmad abdolsaheb I think he is supposed to be working on some small web series side project style thing for HBO's HBO Go service, or something like that. I don't think he is supposed to star in it or anything, just sort of creating things on random topics that he chooses to. I'm not sure how well defined the project is currently. And he is of course working on his farm. :)
"a teaching tool for future generations." Seems the "teaching tool" would need a tweek then. The Iraq liberation act passed in the 90s with wide bipartisan support. Democrats (Including then president Bill Clinton) filibustered and lectured for hours in support for US intervention in Iraq, made the same assertions that these Republicans Jon is poking fun of made and for the exact same reasons. Strangely, only Republican politicians and pundits are being crucified for it. Curious thing that.
+Magum Op that's because the democrats have admitted wrong judgement and stayed quiet while the republicans are saying/doing it over and over again and remind everyone they haven't learned sh*t. In fact they shift their blame to the president they passed down the mess to. Got it?
Magum Op yeah it is a curious thing that as you say republicans are being crucified for that, probably because here they are lecturing and criticizing Obama on how he needs to handle isis when they are the ones who screwed up Iraq in the first place so they need to shut up and stop talking
Fetsum1 "that's because the Democrats have admitted wrong judgement and stayed quiet" Lol that's some pretty fancy revisionist history. It's more like Dems have taken note of the American discontent about the war and peddled the cut-and-run policy for political grist. The same policy that lead to the formation of the Islamic state. Dems NEVER "stayed quiet." Almost every attempt was made to capitalize on the Republican's mishandling of the war. "In fact they shift their blame to the president they passed down the mess to" Jesus Christ. What an amazing ahistorical fantasy. Firstly, COMPLETELY blaming Bush for the Iraq war is "shifting blame" because, as I stated, CLINTON passed the Iraq liberation act and the war had massive bipartisan support. Secondly, no one is blaming Obama for the war. He is receiving blame for mismanaging what little ground was made on that effort AND drastically escalating tensions in the region by disrupting the regime in Libya and Syria.
The Daily Show actually seems like a better way to get the facts than the news these days. I would love Jon Stewart to become president ! He's a smart man, with a kind heart !
memsterboy12 Well said. Jon is a legend. And my theory is that people who are intelligent and more evolved get their news and facts from The Daily Show rather than from those other bs channels and shows they call "news".

As an Iraqi I can assure you Saddam was not the ideal president but he certainly was not the worst around. Iraq was stable under his regime, Iraqis were more educated and secular, Christians and Yezidies were protected and he used to visit churches and temples himself to show his support. Saddam gave the kurds anonymity and helped them during the Kurds civil war (between Talebani and Berzani clans). He was secular and did not tolerate extremism from Sunnis and Shia, he knew what they are capable of. Also it does bother me when people say ''we gave you freedom'', No.... you cannot achieve freedom for OTHERS especially by attacking them, freedom could only be achieved by those who are suffering themselves (e.g. Iraqis) and have a burning desire for democracy, equality and ...... freedom.
+Heywood Yabloome I think the lack of responses to your idiotic rant should speak for itself.

Since McCain's death, there are so many articles praising his domestic policies that I almost forgot how his foreign policies helped to destabilize the Middle East and create the current wave of chaos. For all he stood up to Trump, it was the mess he helped to create that gave Trump a message. The same for Bush and all their team. It's important to remember this, there needs to be balance and accountability, those are key factors to make sure those in power think their decisions through. Although, to be fair, it's not my place to tell others how to live. After all, I don't have the biggest military force in history at my beckoning. Nor would I be willing to use it to attempt a political reform at a foreign country, much less top down reform with little planning. Edit: Apparently, in 2020 he and the Marines were all morons for joining the military, according to Agent Orange. Don't worry, though, there is another supporter of the wars running for president as Republican lite. You know, another old guard that will get praised just for not being Trump while getting scott free out of having caused millions of deaths worldwide.
He did not stand up to Trump. He just did it once very publicly with Obama Care, so everybody loves him now and forgets that he voted for Trumps policies 86% of the time and gave the world Sahra Palin, the Trump Prototype.

At 6:58, “And all we’d have to do to maintain the victory is stay there forever” - I know it’s about Iraq but that line fits so pertinently well regarding the recent events in Afghanistan
I've been watching some of these old Jon Stewart-era "Daily Show" clips...due respect to Trevor Noah, who has done some great things during his tenure (the trip to his home & interview with his grandmother were fantastic), but we are missing having the Stewart Voice on a more regular basis in this political climate.
Couldn't agree more. I know he won't come back, as he's busy writing, and directing films, but man, what a glorious thought. Could definitely use his take on things, right about now.
Literally his dna. This dude had enough talent to become a cult leader bc of how he directed and read the crowd. But he just opted to be the privileged elite that became a fighter and a voice for the little man, against the oppressive 1%, his class of peers... I am willing to bet that bc of this job, he was shut out of a LOT of social events that normally he would have access to, IF he hadn't done TDS.
I was still in elementary school when I first heard that "Bomb Iran" song. And though I was quite the xenophobic bastard back then, and still am an interventionist to a degree, that song has always disturbed me. The joyful singing of killing the enemy by combatants in theatre is morbid, but natural and inevitable. But the spreading and targetting of a song to the civilian populace which so merrily lauds the dropping of high explosive devices on a nation, with intent to maim and kill as many combatants and support personnel as possible (civilian deaths and devastated families a certainty) always has and always will appall and disgust me. And there's a whacked out fundamentalist wingnut, at one point a presidential candidate for the nation with most powerful army and nuclear arsenal, singing this song like a Christmas carol. Republicans, you are fucked.
Avery Morrow Yeah, and someone did a parody of it called "Bomb Iran," way back in 1980. That is the song that McCain referred to, and that grimmerMD is referring to.
America needs Jon back. No other person does what he did. He brings people in his show and holds them accountable. I love watching old clips of Jon destroying people for their dishonesty.
You can't force-feed the concept of Democracy into the Middle East. Their culture, which has worked for them throughout the centuries, and, is no way inferior to Western ideals calls for a leader, more-so (hopefully) a 'benevolent' dictator to take the reins of power, like the caliphs, and sultans of old. If they truly want democracy let them fight over it, let them shed blood among themselves with no interference from western (or even asian) powers. I believe if the people want to institute change then it will eventually come, but it must come from within and it must come gradually.
idiot america needed any foreign help to impose their ideals? mr surftl is right if the people wanted democracy they would already have for an instance my country was ppart of a dictatorship our military forces revolted aqainst the opressor and repel them and we didnt any help let them work their differences you should only interfere when the losses are on your soil like 9/11 and that is sorted out the responsables were punished so turn your nose the other way around and stop killing your won troops
Unfortunately not all cultures are equal. Some cultures will marry off their children - both girls and boys - while they're too young to understand. In some cultures men can beat women. Some cultures don't have religious freedom. I make no claim to what the US should do or avoid. International politics are complicated. But I won't hesitate to call a culture of child marriages backwards. And I won't hesitate to call a culture without religious freedom inferior.
wobster109 Go ahead and call their practices backwards. You have every right to do so. It might even help to bring awareness or bring light to that area and help to start a group in that area by online voicing of opinion - who knows. But to say that we should send troops to correct their practices is absolutely absurd. No matter how much wrong there is in the world, it is impossibly idealistic (and wrong) to try to be the world police. Not only is it self-righteous and impractical, it often ends up starting more conflicts than it resolves.
similar to what Erasmus said about the Church 500 years ago. Amazing that that advice would still be so relevant, and beyond religion no less. It is just as true in politics, it seems. And yet our leaders still seem unable to grasp the idea.
I'm so happy youtube is recommended Jon to me on my wonderful morning off. Man I miss this guy, but understand he is done with this format. Can't imagine doing that job for 20 years.
Trevor is a black south african, we all know the white moderate hates to see an angry black man. They hate whites or latinos as well, as they want everyone to caress their sense of self by saying that it's gonna be alright. But the white moderate loves that one MLK speech, everything else is seen as a threat. When people protest to see change, in comes the unmarked vans. So I think Trevor is too nice and calm compared to Jon, but I can see why he wouldn't get the same treatment.
LOVED the Jon Stewart... but if he'd been on during the Trump presidency, he'd either have blown up on screen, or Trump would have hired a hit man. There really was no in between there.
I knowww... He got out with his sanity in the nick of time but while I love and appreciate him I curse him for not saving my sanity the last four years😖
you control the oil and control the nation- control the food and control the people" Kissinger- after his appointment to study over population in the 70's
What if it wasn't really about oil at all? What if there is something more valuable than oil and more desireable to have control over? What if it was about control over the agriculture of the region? Pharmaceuticals of many kinds are dependant on natural plantlife to create the substances that make them what they are, and now that the larger percentage of the world is dependant on these drugs, in one way or another and in one form or another, what if it was all to protect the interests of the makers of these drugs? Oil & petrolium companies are wealthy, sure, but pharmaceutical companies are most assuredly moreso and will continue to gain wealth exponentially as long as the ingredients they need to make the drugs that they make are protected and safe from those who are the opposition. As it is today- If you control the oil, you get their attention, but if you control the drugs, you control even those who THINK THEY control the world. Think about it--- From simple maintenance doses of blood pressure drugs, to cancer supression drugs, & from aspirin to heroin, Big Pharma-The WORLDWIDE DRUG DEALERS, has as big a hold on society as Big Oil ever did, and while more ways are being devised every day to use less oil, the same CANNOT be said for the pharmaceutical industry, who can also charge ANY PRICE they want to for their wares, and is constantly coming up with new drugs that more people "need" and will be bought en masse ad infinitum. So, do you still think it was really all about oil?
Jeffery A. Hunt"control the oil and you control the Nation, control the food and you control the people" Kissinger after he was assigned the world Over population problem in the 70's. I like where your going with these drugs- They got little children on amphetamines for gods sake. To add to your theory- I saw some obscure lecture given by this Dr. Poole guy- it was on C-span. There seemed to be many uniforms in the crowd. This lecture was on the bacteria in the human body- and the ability to tell exactly where that person had been- I also assume they are looking into the different affects of exposure to bacteria and molds. But all that- this Doctor worked for the DOD bioweapons field and at the time of this lecture was working for Monsanto. Could it be that the foods feed the need for the Meds? Control the food as we all know the few GMO corps. are doing a very good job. As they saying that is attributed to Caesar for giving White bread to the population- Feed the stomach and not the mind- Are they doing this today but in an industrial tech way? It is Kissinger after all.
Why are we always “planting seeds of democracy “ that they CLEARLY don’t want over there?!?!? How about we focus on fixing ourselves FIRST before we decide to help others 🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️... lets make our country the envy of the world 🌎
I get embarassed on a regular basis at home here in AZ. My job forces me to interact with the general public.. Very nice people with swastika tatoos and dont tread on me flags on their trucks. Its frightening really. How so much ignorance can get condensed into such a small area.
What's really annoying is that people around my age (I'm 24 in 2024) have no real education on this issue. We grew up steeped in these issues concerning the Middle East, but 9/11 happened before many of us were even conscious. This all became background noise. Pardon the innapropriate metaphor (I don't have another one), but it's a bit like starting to watch a highly detailed, intricate, nuanced, and serialized show in it's fifth season. And you know none of it was taught about in schools, and probably still isn't. I've seen movies and researched about it, but even true and genuinely reflective movies only convey a fraction of the story, and sources we would want to use in research can be difficult to trust Thinking about just watching a bunch of old Jon Stewart shows and seeing how far THAT gets me. At least I know he's not lying
Hi, my name is Tiny99990, and I recently relapsed, I was clean for almost 3 years, and the other day it just popped up in my feed and I thought "OOOO thats one of my favorites from him." and I watched it... since then I have been watching clips of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart since almost non stop... I actually do not know how long I have been watching them... but I know it has been more than three days, and I have loved every moment of it...

This episode should be re released and put on a 12 hour loop
"Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran"
Well it looks like McCain just got his wish. Smh
BeastNation2009 the one time Meghan Mcain won’t reference her father on the view.
McCain kind of looks like emperor Palpatine.
If only I could come up with a suitable quote to answer that, my day would be made :)
Yeah, that paired with his comment when he visited Guantanamo it's almost uncanny; 'I find your lack of bamboo cages disturbing!'
"On the subject of Osama bin Laden... we will track him down. We will capture him. We will bring him to justice, and I will follow him to the gates of hell."
John McCain
maxrland "...with my fully operational Death Star!"
maxrland "Now witness the power of this fully armed and _operational_ Battle Station! FIRE AT WILL, COMMANDER ROMNEY!"
A decade later and I still crack up! I love Jon Stewart!
Thanks Jon it's 2024 and we still watch your show, a fan from Iraq
Are you currently in Iraq?
@@anna-fleurfarnsworth104 Unfortunately yes
@@adama4482 a friendly hello to you from a place you probably won't ever go to: Israel 😅 say to your friends someone in Israel says hi on the internet and I wonder what would happen?
@@anna-fleurfarnsworth104 I would like to go but it's almost impossible to get a visa lol
I honestly think this is one of his best monologues of his career. Especially being a kid who didn’t know much about Iraq at the time, I just keep coming back to this one. Potent, brilliant, and so goddamn funny
Man, as bad as this makes him look - and all these years later - Lindsey Graham has somehow become even more despicable...
At 6:58, “And all we’d have to do to maintain the victory is stay there forever” - I know it’s about Iraq but that line fits so pertinently well regarding the recent events in Afghanistan
"For him you don't actually need to use the jedi mind trick. You just kinda... wave your hand and he does it."
Man, Jon Stewart's Daily Show was the epitome of political comedy
god dammit. Jon impersonation of Lindsay Graham just kills me every time
One of the best things I miss about Jon is his impressions of other people. That George Bush impression always gets me.
Jon Stewart is hands down my favourite human.
In 2020, the pain from missing Jon Stewart is becoming unbearable 😞💔
I know, right? The world is burning & it would be great to hear his take 5 nights a week!
Did he quit?
@@cjhepburn7406 he retired
I keep coming back to this. This is such a timeless classic.
It's shocking how this is happening all over again and by THE SAME PEOPLE.
I love Trevor, but I still really miss Jon’s voice.
I've been watching some of these old Jon Stewart-era "Daily Show" clips...due respect to Trevor Noah, who has done some great things during his tenure (the trip to his home & interview with his grandmother were fantastic), but we are missing having the Stewart Voice on a more regular basis in this political climate.
Couldn't agree more. I know he won't come back, as he's busy writing, and directing films, but man, what a glorious thought. Could definitely use his take on things, right about now.
I was wondering if this was still good after 6 years.
Still absolute gold.
I miss him so much ;(
I'ts amaizing watching jon's timing, he owns that crowd he's the greatest for this kind of show 👏🏼👏🏼
Literally his dna. This dude had enough talent to become a cult leader bc of how he directed and read the crowd. But he just opted to be the privileged elite that became a fighter and a voice for the little man, against the oppressive 1%, his class of peers... I am willing to bet that bc of this job, he was shut out of a LOT of social events that normally he would have access to, IF he hadn't done TDS.
I was still in elementary school when I first heard that "Bomb Iran" song. And though I was quite the xenophobic bastard back then, and still am an interventionist to a degree, that song has always disturbed me. The joyful singing of killing the enemy by combatants in theatre is morbid, but natural and inevitable. But the spreading and targetting of a song to the civilian populace which so merrily lauds the dropping of high explosive devices on a nation, with intent to maim and kill as many combatants and support personnel as possible (civilian deaths and devastated families a certainty) always has and always will appall and disgust me.
And there's a whacked out fundamentalist wingnut, at one point a presidential candidate for the nation with most powerful army and nuclear arsenal, singing this song like a Christmas carol. Republicans, you are fucked.
Avery Morrow Prick. Now I'll have that song stuck in my head the rest of the evening.
Avery Morrow Yeah, and someone did a parody of it called "Bomb Iran," way back in 1980. That is the song that McCain referred to, and that grimmerMD is referring to.
666Nietzsche- More B S
lindsncal Reality speaks for itself. You know what I say is true.
The voters took the T-Bird away
Why are you leaving Jon, WHY? WHYYYY????
5:02
'My wicked tongue' really got me
6 years later... You still can't touch this!
America needs Jon back. No other person does what he did. He brings people in his show and holds them accountable. I love watching old clips of Jon destroying people for their dishonesty.
Who else wants Jon Stewart to become freaking president??? I love him
+amrs7890 it would make no difference, they're all just puppets of the elitist cabal
Stewart/Frankin 2020
You can't force-feed the concept of Democracy into the Middle East. Their culture, which has worked for them throughout the centuries, and, is no way inferior to Western ideals calls for a leader, more-so (hopefully) a 'benevolent' dictator to take the reins of power, like the caliphs, and sultans of old.
If they truly want democracy let them fight over it, let them shed blood among themselves with no interference from western (or even asian) powers. I believe if the people want to institute change then it will eventually come, but it must come from within and it must come gradually.
idiot america needed any foreign help to impose their ideals?
mr surftl is right if the people wanted democracy they would already have for an instance my country was ppart of a dictatorship our military forces revolted aqainst the opressor and repel them and we didnt any help let them work their differences you should only interfere when the losses are on your soil like 9/11 and that is sorted out the responsables were punished so turn your nose the other way around and stop killing your won troops
Unfortunately not all cultures are equal. Some cultures will marry off their children - both girls and boys - while they're too young to understand. In some cultures men can beat women. Some cultures don't have religious freedom.
I make no claim to what the US should do or avoid. International politics are complicated. But I won't hesitate to call a culture of child marriages backwards. And I won't hesitate to call a culture without religious freedom inferior.
wobster109 Go ahead and call their practices backwards. You have every right to do so. It might even help to bring awareness or bring light to that area and help to start a group in that area by online voicing of opinion - who knows. But to say that we should send troops to correct their practices is absolutely absurd. No matter how much wrong there is in the world, it is impossibly idealistic (and wrong) to try to be the world police. Not only is it self-righteous and impractical, it often ends up starting more conflicts than it resolves.
charlesbabbage1 As we all know, bombing, shooting, and torturing others is civilized....
similar to what Erasmus said about the Church 500 years ago. Amazing that that advice would still be so relevant, and beyond religion no less. It is just as true in politics, it seems. And yet our leaders still seem unable to grasp the idea.
I love it when he impersonates Lindsey Graham 😅. You can see it in his face when he's about to do it!🤣
I'm so happy youtube is recommended Jon to me on my wonderful morning off. Man I miss this guy, but understand he is done with this format. Can't imagine doing that job for 20 years.
I like his new show
Listening to this 2023!
We need Jon Stewart back on a show. Noah is great but Stewart come back when a new show please.
I love Trevor Noah, but there's something about Jon's righteous fury that's impossible to replace.
Remy Pijuan It was his style. Very unique and we'll executed. Tom Green was really good at that too lol.
Trevor is a black south african, we all know the white moderate hates to see an angry black man. They hate whites or latinos as well, as they want everyone to caress their sense of self by saying that it's gonna be alright. But the white moderate loves that one MLK speech, everything else is seen as a threat. When people protest to see change, in comes the unmarked vans. So I think Trevor is too nice and calm compared to Jon, but I can see why he wouldn't get the same treatment.
@@LuizAlexPhoenix dude, have you even seen Noah's stand up special? Its not about race, the guy is just not funny. He shouldn't be anywhere near a mic
LOVED the Jon Stewart... but if he'd been on during the Trump presidency, he'd either have blown up on screen, or Trump would have hired a hit man. There really was no in between there.
I knowww... He got out with his sanity in the nick of time but while I love and appreciate him I curse him for not saving my sanity the last four years😖
If Jon Stewart had stayed for the 2016 election, Trump never would’ve been elected.
@@rebecca8525 why the hell you gotta go THERE now?🤔😏
Jon Stewart was just so effortlessly funny on this show. He ran that shit.
I find myself coming here every once in a while, just to remind myself what true greatness is
How bout we all just get really, REALLY high and stop killing eachother and just enjoy life together
I'd vote for you!
Now this is a campaign i'd support.
Wasn't that in the Onion Movie?
But killing people is how i get high
People are afraid of the unknown.
man, McCain talking about Ukraine sure aged weird
"He's just here to use our bathroom." Wow, who saw the Starbucksgate coming, Jon Stewart!
Oh man, he is on another level. Infinitely better than Trevor
I wish Stewart would've just came out and said it was to control the oil. You control the oil and you control the world
you control the oil and control the nation- control the food and control the people" Kissinger- after his appointment to study over population in the 70's
Ajay Pasricha for another 20 years
What if it wasn't really about oil at all?
What if there is something more valuable than oil and more desireable to have control over?
What if it was about control over the agriculture of the region? Pharmaceuticals of many kinds are dependant on natural plantlife to create the substances that make them what they are, and now that the larger percentage of the world is dependant on these drugs, in one way or another and in one form or another, what if it was all to protect the interests of the makers of these drugs?
Oil & petrolium companies are wealthy, sure, but pharmaceutical companies are most assuredly moreso and will continue to gain wealth exponentially as long as the ingredients they need to make the drugs that they make are protected and safe from those who are the opposition.
As it is today- If you control the oil, you get their attention, but if you control the drugs, you control even those who THINK THEY control the world.
Think about it---
From simple maintenance doses of blood pressure drugs, to cancer supression drugs, & from aspirin to heroin, Big Pharma-The WORLDWIDE DRUG DEALERS, has as big a hold on society as Big Oil ever did, and while more ways are being devised every day to use less oil, the same CANNOT be said for the pharmaceutical industry, who can also charge ANY PRICE they want to for their wares, and is constantly coming up with new drugs that more people "need" and will be bought en masse ad infinitum.
So, do you still think it was really all about oil?
Jeffery A. Hunt"control the oil and you control the Nation, control the food and you control the people" Kissinger after he was assigned the world Over population problem in the 70's. I like where your going with these drugs- They got little children on amphetamines for gods sake. To add to your theory- I saw some obscure lecture given by this Dr. Poole guy- it was on C-span. There seemed to be many uniforms in the crowd. This lecture was on the bacteria in the human body- and the ability to tell exactly where that person had been- I also assume they are looking into the different affects of exposure to bacteria and molds. But all that- this Doctor worked for the DOD bioweapons field and at the time of this lecture was working for Monsanto. Could it be that the foods feed the need for the Meds? Control the food as we all know the few GMO corps. are doing a very good job. As they saying that is attributed to Caesar for giving White bread to the population- Feed the stomach and not the mind- Are they doing this today but in an industrial tech way? It is Kissinger after all.
Years have passed and yet, this is still relevant in too many ways
Whoa this one ages so well ! It's like deja vu!
Why are we always “planting seeds of democracy “ that they CLEARLY don’t want over there?!?!? How about we focus on fixing ourselves FIRST before we decide to help others 🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️... lets make our country the envy of the world 🌎
Watching this in 2020 and wow, I had forgotten how good Jon Stewart was.
God I miss Jon so much....
7:53 I hate how McCain ended up being right about literally every one of those first 3 conflicts.
Thank you algorithm for reminding me of this
I feel embarrassed that John McCain is the senator of my state.
the amish tech support I'm embarrassed that he's from the USA.
01denese i feel embarrassed that hes from the same planet
Austintf I feel embarrassed that he's in the same universe that I'm in
I get embarassed on a regular basis at home here in AZ. My job forces me to interact with the general public.. Very nice people with swastika tatoos and dont tread on me flags on their trucks.
Its frightening really. How so much ignorance can get condensed into such a small area.
Looking at the tea party you could have a lot worse
Just when i thought Trevor Noah got a bit better at this, all it takes i one old clip and i miss Jon Steward again.
This is way I love the awesomeness of Jon Stewart he's a great humanitarian and the saviour of people soal!
fuck it! I'm gonna paint a cat
Plot Twist: Jon time traveled to 2021 shortly before filming this episode in 2014.
2019. Still watching and still missing you Jon.
The US actually beat Ghana 2-1 it bugged me so I had to look it up
Can we have him back? Trevor Noah is no where near as funny
No one will ever be as funny as Jon
Trevor is a good replacement though
Not. At. All.
Here's an idea. Stop watching The Daily Show. Thank me later.
Trevor's young and new. It's hard to live up to impossible expectations like Jon Stewart
How the fuck did people tolerate politicians that thought the best solution to foreign policy was “occupy the entire planet at once”?
All of you guys are arguing politics and I'm just mad John McCain thought Barbra Ann by the Beach Boys sounded anything close to bomb.
Miss you Jon!
Glad you’re coming back
What's really annoying is that people around my age (I'm 24 in 2024) have no real education on this issue. We grew up steeped in these issues concerning the Middle East, but 9/11 happened before many of us were even conscious. This all became background noise. Pardon the innapropriate metaphor (I don't have another one), but it's a bit like starting to watch a highly detailed, intricate, nuanced, and serialized show in it's fifth season.
And you know none of it was taught about in schools, and probably still isn't. I've seen movies and researched about it, but even true and genuinely reflective movies only convey a fraction of the story, and sources we would want to use in research can be difficult to trust
Thinking about just watching a bunch of old Jon Stewart shows and seeing how far THAT gets me. At least I know he's not lying
Hi, my name is Tiny99990, and I recently relapsed, I was clean for almost 3 years, and the other day it just popped up in my feed and I thought "OOOO thats one of my favorites from him." and I watched it... since then I have been watching clips of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart since almost non stop... I actually do not know how long I have been watching them... but I know it has been more than three days, and I have loved every moment of it...
the satire of the daily show at this time is so good man, wish we had the same today
Damn, I miss Stewart's take on hypocrisy. No one called it out as well as he did.
Jon Stewart is simply the best 👑 Period!!!
Jon Stewart please come back, ✌️💙
My favorite show growing up. I loved how he made fun of BOTH parties
McCain’s comments on Ukraine hit different in 2023…
The Daily Show and The Colbert Report were the golden age of Comedy Central.
Man I miss The Colbert Report
@@glipk right?! I still get excited when I hear that intro.
This aged well
he was so fucking good, i can't believe how much i miss this guy
I've watched this video about 10 times since it first aired and I still find it hilarious every time. Stewart was on top with this one.
+君德白 He was ontop with a lot of things. And now you have trevor noah instead. hmmmm
Jon Stewart and John Oliver are my favs omg but Trevor Noah makes me laugh
onyx vanity and Stephen Colbert🤘🤘🔥🔥
+same chaos u right!😂
