It's so weird looking back on Jon Stewart's bits now, watching his mannerisms and cadence and expressions, and realizing how much he affected my sense of humor and the way I tell jokes and express sarcasm. Guess I got more than just an interest in politics from watching him so much as a kid. Thanks, Jon. For everything.
Waitwaitwaitwait. Teachers who changed student grades in order to, at worst, keep their unappreciated and underpaid jobs so they could make ends meet at the end of the month, and at best, to help failing students, went to jail... While people linked to a massive global economical crisis walked away... Huh.
MrLuizilla You shouldn't be able to buy yourself out of jail time. Those few million dollars in fines are nothing to them and they're gonna continue right where they left of.
You're talking on behalf of the 20% ( if that ) of teachers in the US. But do we really want to get into the other 80% ( maybe more ) that are nothing more than pieces of shit that waste everyone's time and suck up taxpayer money? While I'm all for teachers being paid more, if we're going to do that then becoming a teacher has to require having an IQ above 20, ACTUALLY be evaluated by the students as well as other faculty so the students' voices can be heard and weed through the shitty teachers, and have the entire "education" system be reevaluated since its nothing more than a burning pile of dogshit on taxpayers' front doorstep that they continuously throw money into.
+ThatFalloutGod IQ is worthless to measure intelligence. You will never get enough money the school would need. You can´t properly educate 30 people in one class with one person. All you can do is show the kids what they have to learn, not how they can learn it. There is no time to explain to 30 people or even 20. People are individuals and everyone has different problems in school. There is simply no time for everyone kid. So we have standardized bullshit. If you want to learn leave school and use the internet. Self motivated learning is the best anyway.
MC Mark Markson First off, I was using IQ as a joke because most teachers nowadays are worthless pieces of shit. Secondly, learning by yourself isn't the best way to learn, that's been proven wrong on multiple occasions. And it's not impossible for good teachers to teach 20 kids the shit they need to know to pass the class ( granted, I agree smaller classes are by far better than bigger, and I'd be all for a limit on how many are in a class, like 20 ), it's just when you get little shits or bad teachers when problems arise. The problem ( which I could go very much into depth about all the problems about America's "education" system, but I'm not unless you want me to ) is that everyone is assbackwards on their "solution" to the problem.
Not only jail but 20 Years? 20 Years for Fraud? How about spending the money you waste on that and paying your teachers more, so that they don't need "fraud" to get to money.
+Ultimate Dweeb - Class segregation tends to be based on race segregation, though, so perhaps we can agree they're both factors or perhaps rather, symptoms of a larger problem: Too many people don't care about things that matter, like others' right to dignity and justice, while caring too much about things that don't matter, like the many lies they've been told by heavily-lobbied politicians and privately owned media acting as puppets of the corporations.
As great as this segment is, it doesn't even touch on the problems with the current education testing system that actually led to teachers cheating. Tying students test scores with teacher wages and job security, does not work, it has never worked, and it will never work. There will always be kids who know the standardized tests don't affect anything for them, and fill out the bubbles randomly, or try to make designs, etc. Hell half my class used to do it in middle school, tying a teachers livelihood to that is cruel.
Damn I did that as a kid. All the time. Hell I did it on my ASVAB and got a 47. And I was one of those kids that didn't take those test seriously. The only one I ever took serious was my high school exit exam. Now that I know some teachers needed this to get paid I feel fucked up. I mean I passed my test but had I actually applied myself more they could've gotten paid more. That's cold.
@@malcolmboy21 that's wrong to do. The test scores system is rigged against the teachers as well. Some opaque arbitrary fucking algorithm from a company decides the projected score that a student should get, and if they get below that the teachers get paid less. It's sheer corporate barbarity and callousness taken to the extremes. I feel sick to imagine what these monsters will think of next.
Why can The Daily Show educate (with humour) but every news network be so utterly useless? This is why the Daily Show is the number 1 news source for so many Americans.
Duane Locsin I sometimes think the appeal of a "news" channel like Fox is because the viewer is not required to think, consider, ponder the stories of the day. With Fox you get both the stories and what your opinion of them should be. A nice neat, easy package gift wrapped in beautiful self-righteousness. Very efficient of them.
Larry Dobson I rather think it's because people turn it on to see someone cater to the views they already hold. They aren't in the least interested in truth, they are interested in having their beliefs massaged. So it's pandering and companies pay bzillions of dollars in ad money to Fox and others because they know that people keep running back to hear what they already think being affirmed.

Wow...now this is... something.... wow, the amount of work and effort that goes into these pieces. Jon Stewart was really a gem. Damn, he really went after Wall Street every chance he got. And he never let go of them no matter what. In hindsight, it must suck to scream about it for so many years and not seeing any resolution to it.
#BernieSanders is one of the few candidates in history to fight against this corruption, one of the few to have the balls. That is one reason he has my vote #BernieSanders2016
+Lawrence D. So you're SANCHO PANZA !!! Lose the Presidency, lose the Supreme Court. Lose the SCOTUS and you find out what corruption is really all about.

It's making these kind of connections, and offering this depth of analyses, that made the Daily Show w JS not just comedy but exceptional journalism. Stewart would often illuminate the systemic hypocrisies in our system where his counterparts on the 24-hour news cycle would just scratch the surface.

The contempt and hatred on the face of that judge is so hard to look at. He just revelled in his scorn. Scary to imagine what other people he treated that way.
The major difference is that if test scores aren't high enough the ENTIRE district can lose funding, be subject to governmental punishments, etc. Saying that teachers did is simply because they wanted a bigger paycheck (which, who doesn't?) is to simplistic. Surprised Jon didn't point this out.
You're... You're aware the political and media landscape has changed, somewhat, in the past five years, right? I miss him too, but to compare then to now is a bit disingenuous.
@@BornFlunky that's true, but CNN and MSNBC are still genuinely horrible news outlets that desperately need to be called out on a regular basis. They've gotten measurably worse over the last five years too.
@@BornFlunky the amount of pure garbage they said about Bernie indicates otherwise. They also very often jump on Twitter scandals with no evidence, critical thought or proper research like Covington or Jussie Smollet. Just a few weeks ago they were all falsely claiming that hand sanitizer was blowing up cars and claiming that it was dangerous to wear masks to protect against COVID.
@@RoboBlue2 there is a big difference to covering nonsense to try and get ratings. Fox for 2 years, all day, everyday yelled about Benghazi, said awful stuff about most involved. Guess what happened, the Republican led committees released their findings and not one single charge or admonishment handed out. That is much more dangerous and troubling than what you are talking about.
So this immediately reminded me of Season 4 of The Wire where Black-majority schools in Baltimore had to give kids the answers to the standardized tests so that the school would keep receiving money. I imagine Atlanta's case wasn't much different. A system that forces schools to do that instead of incentivizing them is clearly wrong, not even needing to mention the subprime fraud.
CNN gave me asthma laughing so hard. Yeah, much worse than the Civil War. LOL Here's some creepy coincidences. Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. John F. Kennedy in 1946. Lincoln was elected President in 1860. Kennedy in 1960. Both wives lost their children while living in the White House. Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Lincoln's secretary, Kennedy, warned him not to go to the theater. Kennedy's secretary, Lincoln, warned him not to go to Dallas. Both were assassinated by Southerners. Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908. John Wilkes Booth was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald was born in 1939. Both assassins were known by their three names.
It's 2020 and Coronavirus is happening right now and I'm watching old John Stewart and Colbert Report segments. What ads am I seeing? Trump reelection ads... Why?!
Its terrible the teachers did that, but more so is it terrible that through the incompetence of the government for not only stripping the educational system of funds but also enforcing insane goals to reach.
To put this into greater context the teaching incentive system was proven to not only led to ethical issues, especially teaching and financial gymnastics, it also led to teacher refusing to teaching normally when admin/appraisers showed up, refuse to share lesson plans with up-and-coming teachers, let alone new teachers, and this was in the 90's. That state chose to keep that system for a reason.
I can see how seeing and talking about these injustices everyday would drive a decent person to leave a job in which he had to keep talking about these injustices knowing nothing will ever change...
Apart from anything said in this video, any comparison: 20 YEARS for cheating at an exam!! I've always been amazed how severe is the US justice system. 20 YEARS! Even for manslaughter I'd find it too harsh!
Makanek Malek The "justice" system can be outright psychopathic sometimes, even though it's actually 7 years prison 13 years probation this is still an outrageous punishment and only serves to send out a message, but it's no secret that if one has the money, power and connections one can get away with murder.
+Makanek Malek Hacking is that way, too. If I hacked your router I'd go to jail for like 20 years. If broke your door down, held you at gunpoint, stole your computer hard drive, then beat the shit out of you, it would be a few years. Or driving. Endangering a child with my car is $150. Turning right on a red light without stopping fully is $700.
Wall Street should pray this country's society doesn't collapse into anarchy and revolution in there lifetimes, cause who do you think we'll be crucifying first?
I worked for an honest mortgage company in the 1990s, and it was tough - because there were competitors who would inflate appraisals and lie about the clients to get a loan made, and we would not. Also, we would not lend more than 100% of appraised value and rarely more than 80%, but our competitors would loan up to 120% of a fake appraisal. We looked like the bad guys very often, because our competitors would loan maybe $50,000 while we could only loan $5,000 or $10,000, or nothing. That is because we might get a potential customer with a $60,000 loan on a $70,000 house and at best, we could loan against the $10,000 equity, but a competitor might falsely appraise the place at $100,000 and loan up to 120% of that making $60,000 possible. And the customer (being a bit dumb) did not know who to trust, but they wanted the money.
No one can. Jon is the GOAT. But Trevor has his own strengths and brings other things to the table. He doesn't need to fill other people's shoes, but stablish his own legacy.
I blame No Child Left Behind. My cousin had to quit her job because she taught special ed and when this was first enacted, they had to pass the same tests as the non special ed students. It was ridiculous. Even though this was wrong, I understand it.
well the difference is those test scores would have meant those teachers would lose their jobs, where as cheating on wall street yeilds multi million dollar bonuses
I grew up in Atlanta and I was a teen in the 80's so I went through the whole terrifying child murderer period. But as far as I know, even to this day there are still doubts on whether they got the right person. Just thought I'd throw some trivia in here since he brought up Wayne Williams when talking about all the shitty things Atlanta has done and experienced.
In 2008, yeah, we should bailed out the banks, but every single person directly responsible for that debackle should have had their assets frozen and eventually dispersed to the damaged public, while they themselves should've been banished from this country, never to return, and this while being thankful we don't crucify people in this country. I'm just sayin'...
What do people mean when they say "Wall Street"? Because, in reality, the traders on the floor who dealt in CMOs (collateralized mortgage obligations) which consist of a large number of mortgages grouped together and securitized to be sold to investors who are looking for a stream of income based on mortgage payments, are not the ones to blame. The companies who bought the risky "sub-prime" mortgage CMOs were taking a risk, much like investors who trade in below investment grade bonds or distressed debt. Were they doing something illegal or unethical? No, just risky. It wouldn't have occurred to them that a substantial portion of the mortgages underlying these obligations would be defaulted on, mainly due to unethical and illegal lending practices. So, it boils down to mortgage brokers, lenders and their associated companies. Call a spade a spade and blame the mortgage lenders, not "Wall Street".
We really need Jon back in the national discourse, maybe Daily Show will hire him back since Apple surprise-surprise didn't like him critiquing corporate America

We miss you John your insight and cleverness is desperately needed. Now more than ever.
Its terrible the teachers did that, but more so is it terrible that through the incompetence of the government for not only stripping the educational system of funds but also enforcing insane goals to reach.
probably one of the best endings ive ever seen. miss this guy.
When the top is corrupt, corruption trickle's down into the masses.
I would watch every one of these shows over again from the beginning. How about it, Comedy Central?
To put this into greater context the teaching incentive system was proven to not only led to ethical issues, especially teaching and financial gymnastics, it also led to teacher refusing to teaching normally when admin/appraisers showed up, refuse to share lesson plans with up-and-coming teachers, let alone new teachers, and this was in the 90's. That state chose to keep that system for a reason.
2 years and strip them off their teaching license. That’s enough. Twenty years is ridiculous
the financial collaps in 2008 was crazy! i would have never thought that even we as factory workers in germany would feel the shockwave.
I can see how seeing and talking about these injustices everyday would drive a decent person to leave a job in which he had to keep talking about these injustices knowing nothing will ever change...
Consider, whenever you watch this, it is still completely relevant and nothing has changed.
Apart from anything said in this video, any comparison: 20 YEARS for cheating at an exam!! I've always been amazed how severe is the US justice system. 20 YEARS!
Even for manslaughter I'd find it too harsh!
Makanek Malek The "justice" system can be outright psychopathic sometimes, even though it's actually 7 years prison 13 years probation this is still an outrageous punishment and only serves to send out a message, but it's no secret that if one has the money, power and connections one can get away with murder.
Ok, thanks for the info.
7 YEARS! THIS IS INSANE!
+Makanek Malek Hacking is that way, too. If I hacked your router I'd go to jail for like 20 years. If broke your door down, held you at gunpoint, stole your computer hard drive, then beat the shit out of you, it would be a few years.
Or driving. Endangering a child with my car is $150. Turning right on a red light without stopping fully is $700.
Wall Street should pray this country's society doesn't collapse into anarchy and revolution in there lifetimes, cause who do you think we'll be crucifying first?
Scientologists. They're going first.

I worked for an honest mortgage company in the 1990s, and it was tough - because there were competitors who would inflate appraisals and lie about the clients to get a loan made, and we would not. Also, we would not lend more than 100% of appraised value and rarely more than 80%, but our competitors would loan up to 120% of a fake appraisal. We looked like the bad guys very often, because our competitors would loan maybe $50,000 while we could only loan $5,000 or $10,000, or nothing. That is because we might get a potential customer with a $60,000 loan on a $70,000 house and at best, we could loan against the $10,000 equity, but a competitor might falsely appraise the place at $100,000 and loan up to 120% of that making $60,000 possible. And the customer (being a bit dumb) did not know who to trust, but they wanted the money.
Put very simply...
Rich: no trouble
Poor: trouble
I love Trevor, but he can never fill this guy's shoes.
No one can. Jon is the GOAT. But Trevor has his own strengths and brings other things to the table. He doesn't need to fill other people's shoes, but stablish his own legacy.
@@TheSquirrelbeast totally true
This is not a blemish on our history, this is America.
Miss Jon! He had no bias, shit on everyone equally.
you shouldnt be able to "settle" if you are accused of a severe crime.
I miss staying up late ta watch The Daily Show and I didn't have to worry about our President trying to become King.
This guy. What a legend. "You live in Atlanta! "
That's a textbook acute case of justice ridiculitis.
Nothing against Trevor, but got to ask, this segment is so much smarter than current TDS episodes!
I blame No Child Left Behind. My cousin had to quit her job because she taught special ed and when this was first enacted, they had to pass the same tests as the non special ed students. It was ridiculous. Even though this was wrong, I understand it.
they faced TWENTY YEARS for helping students cheat?????????
Jon Stewart is a god!
Man I miss this
In New Jersey that's considered a compliment...
Loved the segment. Also that CNN/Atlanta joke was great.
And those educators who were forced to do that at in jail! But not Wall Street !!!
well the difference is those test scores would have meant those teachers would lose their jobs, where as cheating on wall street yeilds multi million dollar bonuses
Can’t believe he didn’t mention the worst thing about Atlanta, the airport
1 million we can do it!!!
another example of why Merit pay and other corporate tactics do not work in education
I grew up in Atlanta and I was a teen in the 80's so I went through the whole terrifying child murderer period. But as far as I know, even to this day there are still doubts on whether they got the right person. Just thought I'd throw some trivia in here since he brought up Wayne Williams when talking about all the shitty things Atlanta has done and experienced.
The murders stopped after they caught Williams.
Altough the bankers/teachers did something terrible. The system of bonuses is also flawed
I miss John Stewart 💔
It's this kind of stuff that makes my support of the likes of Elizabeth Warren even stronger.
Oh, five years ago... When Warren was still considered a progressive... Good times
This is best comedy piece I have ever seen
This is a genius segment. Brilliant.
What a legend!
This analogy is pure genius
20 years fucking years! Free those teachers!
In 2008, yeah, we should bailed out the banks, but every single person directly responsible for that debackle should have had their assets frozen and eventually dispersed to the damaged public, while they themselves should've been banished from this country, never to return, and this while being thankful we don't crucify people in this country. I'm just sayin'...
Brilliant!
What do people mean when they say "Wall Street"? Because, in reality, the traders on the floor who dealt in CMOs (collateralized mortgage obligations) which consist of a large number of mortgages grouped together and securitized to be sold to investors who are looking for a stream of income based on mortgage payments, are not the ones to blame. The companies who bought the risky "sub-prime" mortgage CMOs were taking a risk, much like investors who trade in below investment grade bonds or distressed debt. Were they doing something illegal or unethical? No, just risky. It wouldn't have occurred to them that a substantial portion of the mortgages underlying these obligations would be defaulted on, mainly due to unethical and illegal lending practices. So, it boils down to mortgage brokers, lenders and their associated companies. Call a spade a spade and blame the mortgage lenders, not "Wall Street".
We need Stewart Back. There is nobody capable of open American's Brains. He is the only with stainless steel brainopener.
By the way, I just want to point out the skin color of the jailed teachers.
That’s some harsh reality
Laughed my ass off at - 2:51
well. I wish Jon covering the GameStop fiasco.
Not. In. Row. No. Worrys.
Oliver carries the torch now.
I live in Jersey. The flat tires thing is totally true.
I love him
We really need Jon back in the national discourse, maybe Daily Show will hire him back since Apple surprise-surprise didn't like him critiquing corporate America
tlanta just doesn't know how to do it properly. Take a leaf out of NY's books ladiiieeesss ! Gotta love the fair and transparent judicial system. Justice for ... those who plead 'no wrong doing' and pay off ! Yeeeessss !!!
Those teachers got 20 years sentences?!!! What the fuck!?
Great video
Jon Stewart is hilarious!
Jon Stewart and his team do an excellent job; too bad he's leaving.
