The biggest story here is that a "comedian" speaks far more direct about corrupt US practices than national newscasters. And, kudos to Fareed for hosting this interview with Jon.
Honestly, I firmly believe Mr. Stewart should be asking the questions in the next Presidential debates. No bull, no deflections, and calling everyone out on everything. You can't pull punches
also: mic is cut for the person whose turn it is not to talk. No more interruptions, no more talking over each other. Answer the question. As much time as it takes.
@@corabernal6432 no. it is what should happen, but will not. No politician would ever agree to a forum wherein they were required to be respectful and actually answer the questions posed.
If Trump supporters genuinely cared about accountability, they would not vote for this fraudster who has never been held to account. The “base” is both not sophisticated enough in their ability to judge character, nor do they have a nominal ethical standard to uphold. Knowingly being conned is fine with this gullible cult as long as he continues insulting leaders and upsetting norms. Rick Perry said it best in 2015: “Donald Trump is a cancer on the Republican Party”…and now we have to deal with the mortal threat of rampant metastases.
Starting with common beliefs and practices: it’s who you know; not what you know. Doesn’t take rich people to do it. But rich and powerful people get to go short cut in most serious and outrageous unfair things. I would say a moral decayed. Even at church, there are elite members and there are just worshipers. There’s no way to stop it. Can’t beat them, join them kind of mentality. Also, we are all hypocrites. Our shit don’t stink :-)
Democrats rioted for an ENTIRE ELECTION YEAR in over 140 INNOCENT AMERICAN CITIES to terrorize and intimidate 110 MILLION INNOCENT AMERICANS who are not REGISTERED DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN DOMESTIC TERRORISTS AND SYMPATHIZERS that caused over 2 BILLION DOLLARS IN DAMAGES that destroyed countless innocent American lives, families and business.........
Idk if it's just me, but Jon Stewart always comes off as INCREDIBLY smart. Like, I've listened to many people, he is so sharp mentally. I really hope he ages well mentally and maintains this.
He should run for president. He’s the most reasonable political mind in the country. He speaks on behalf of citizens on the absurdity of the current political system.
Then when is Hillary going to be indicted? The law either applies to everyone or it doesn’t at all. She deleted 33k emails while being under a subpoena
…. Clinton, Biden, Obama, Bush, etc. the country has been run by viscous criminals for a while. Having an affair is not the corruption what we need to take out lol. This is a clear witch hunt to take out Trump, who all the former criminals I noted, hate.
Love Jon Stewart; he is intelligent, compassionate, honest, principled - as well as funny and perceptive; we need more like him in every facet of government and media.
@@nicolasolton i don’t really know much about zelensky as a man but if he’s anything like Jon then sure... let him be the american comedian turned leader.
So you were smarter at ten years old than when you were at twenty? Why shouldn't all jobs have term limits? No Matter how good you are at your job you get fired and start a new job every six years. That makes sense to you?
@@KaiserBlade yeah, because these geriatrics are so good at their jobs that they paved the way for Trump to come into office. Did you listen to the interview?
@gary quarty the social security administration starts to consider Americans as not "retrainable" at age 55. It's harder to be approved for benefits after 55 than before 55. And you think adding 20-30 years to 55 makes someone more qualified? Your goal is to... jump from age 10 to 80? 😂 No wonder so many US Americans fell for George Santos fake resume and have a struggling national economy
Yeah hes amazing ,hes even having an effect on other nato countries re service related injuries bt burnpits etc. Deployed with the norwegian military around the afghan surge buildup in FOB Meymaneh for the PRT there.
I like a lot of what he has done but as a parent of a young victim of America's true self he certainly doesn't speak for me nor my son. And I'm thinking every other parent who knows what's going on in 48 states with no laws to stop it. The lack of empathy and concern for children in this country is disgusting.
@Rick Jones Jared K's billion dollar wet kiss from the Saudi's. Ivanka's patent in China for voting machines plus another dozen patents. Trumps chinese bank accounts
When he or anyone else on national television tells everyone about the 14-minute 1942 USDA film *Hemp for Victory* and how it is the key to stopping climate change, then that person can be said to care about everything that matters, because everything that we are as a country is because of Cannabis Sativa which the film explains. We would have lost World War II without legal Cannabis, and the US government buried the film under decades of drug war lies to create this polluted nightmare that we are experiencing today. All of our plastic and paper and fuel and electricity can be derived from industrial hemp. This is the real reason why "Marijuana" was outlawed. It is not a dangerous drug. Cannabis Sativa, called "Marihuana" on the Special Tax Stamp that is shown 3 minutes into *Hemp for Victory,* built this country and virtually all human civilization across planet Earth. It made the ropes and sails on every ship that travelled to North America. It made the ropes on the ships and the boot laces and parachutes for US soldiers on D-Day. But because none of this was taught to any of us in school or even in college, we're still funding the US government's war against Americans to keep "Marihuana" illegal. There is an official .gov link to the video from the US National Archives. It became public in 1990. It is also on several RUclips channels. But unless anyone in national or social media will tell their millions of viewers and subscribers about it, generation after generation of Americans will continue to not know about any of this.
Jon is a national treasure. Fareed had to ask stupid corporate media questions and Jon handled them like all INTELLIGENT Americans hoped he would. Thank you, once again, Jon!!
Been watching Jon’s interviews lately and it seems that the people who interview him don’t really seem smart enough to engage in conversation with the topics that are often discussed. It’s quite frustrating
@@Cash42 Yes, but in their defense, Jon is extremely intelligent. His high IQ makes these interviewers and interviewees look even dumber than they may actually be. (But sometimes they really are morons)
Always a pleasure to hear from Jon. As he gets older, I worry that he might be think that he's not doing enough and won't be able to do enough by the end of his life, but I'm here to tell you Jon Stewart that you've done more than most of us ever have and ever will. I am so grateful for the person that you are! Thank you! 🙏🏽❤️
I know one thing, just having his name in the video title sure brings out the Trump Trolls. I didn't realize so many Russian Farms were open on Sundays.
The Chinese yuan is already being bought up in the world, this currency is already better than cryptocurrencies, and the yuan has been growing for several years! You need to withdraw dollars from the bank and buy yuan, as George Soros did! This is necessary to save your income! The whole world is switching to the Chinese yuan!№
I so miss this man on my TV every weeknight. Even if I couldn’t watch him, just hearing his voice in the other room was an anchor in my life. Losing Jon Stewart’s presence was a blow to the national psyche.
@@youarenotaghost2589 Except for the part where Jon Stewart lies about 'Trump inflated the value of his property to get a loan'! The BANK determines the value of a property in regards to loans, NOT the owner! But since 95% of the public doesn't know this = people like Jon Stewart are happy to lie in order to push a narrative!
Stewart gave an award to a nazi at Disney. He is a pawn for corporations. When he interviewed Hilary Clinton and Susan Rice he gave them a softball interview without pressing them on their numerous war crimes. He is a hypocrite for going hard for Trump and not Biden.
"This is the most clear, accurate and succinct summary of our situation in the U.S. today. Kudos, Jon. Thank you." YEP. Jon Stewart is probably the only person in America capable of stopping the country's ongoing implosion. Too bad he is 'too smart' to run for POTUS.
I'm all for a physical or something but this is kinda stupid. A healthy person of 65 can bring wisdom to their leadership. You are assuming people get stupid with age. I hate to tell you a stupid 65 year old was just as dumb when he was 35.
@@what8562 It makes perfect sense. Too many senators are old people who are completely out of touch with the real world and the problems real people are facing in it, have no idea what's going on, and should have retired a decade or two ago. Chuck Schumer is 72 Nancy Pelosi is 83 Mitch McConnell is 81 Bernie Sanders is 81 Not senators, but Joe Biden is 80, Donald Trump is 76. None of them should be in office and none of them should be running for re-election when the time comes. We desperately need term limits for Senators as well as upper age limits for all government positions.
I know he'll never do it but if Jon Stewart ever ran for presidential office i would vote for him in a heart beat. Id even canvas and go door to door. He is a beacon of what it means to be an upstanding American. What hes been able to bring to light and able to help, with reguaeds to the victims of 9/11 and the subsequent veterans with cancers from the war it created is remarkable.
There are plenty of people who will vote for him. He can stand up and say. What do I do in my spare time? I'm in Congress anyway talking to congressional and senate people to get them to pass 9/11 bills for the first responders. I'm not getting money for this. I'm not paying people for this. I'm trying to get people to do the right thing. That's what my presidency will be. Getting Congress to pass laws so there is accountability all the way to the top. Doing the right thing. Getting SCOTUS to be part of the system of Ethics. No more power games for those people.
Jon Stewart is one of the smartest people in the industry, and is smarter than probably 99% of politicians (not that the bar is set very high). I’d love to see him run for office one day, though I wouldn’t blame him if he wants to stay the hell out of politics.
Usually I wouldn't agree that a celebrity should run for president, but I agree seeing the tireless work he has done for 9/11 first responders and Military veterans shows he could be the man for the job.
Jon Stewart has a gift for taking on the big, complicated issues and cutting right through to the actual point. One of my modern day heroes. Thank you, sir, and keep up the good work.
He is a treasure. He fought fir 911 responders with the ferver it needed they did their job do yours. The same when senators were high fiving turned down veterans benefits. Thank you Jon
I have the utmost respect for Jon. He cares about America & the citizens. His fight for the heroes of 9/11 brought me to tears. Props to you Mr. Stewart!
This is one of the greatest interviews I've seen in a long long while. Jon Stewart should be iconified into textbooks as one of the most clearheaded freethinking conversationalists of a generation. Nobody compares to him. He essentially just told us how to get change done on a federal level.
Jon Stewart is an amazing person. Fun fact- He owns a farm animal sanctuary and is vegan. So is Greta Thunberg. What do they have in common with these other intelligent, widely admired people? They all chose to not eat animals- Pythagoras, Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci, Voltaire, Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Nikolai Tesla, Albert Einstein, Gandhi, Albert Schweitzer, George Bernard Shaw, Tolstoy, Thoreau, Saint Francis of Asisi, and many more. Some on this list switched late in life, but stayed on it to the end. Ben Franklin switched at age 16. "Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." -Einstein (Of course today, he would be vegan. So would the others on this list.) The famous Professor of Physics Brian Greene is vegan. You may have seen him on PBS hosting science shows for the layman. Jane Goodall recently went from a long time vegetarian to vegan. Wikipedia has a more complete list.
@@someguy2135 good for them. And the thousands of people that also made something of themselves and ate meat must have just been dumb luck. Sick of the holier-than-thou granola dogma
A man of extreme integrity, compassion, and commonsense. A rare commodity indeed in an age of grifters and self-serving opportunists. A man for all seasons!
John is so accurate about corruption of owning stocks while serving in government. Especially when you realize how many of these "politicians", both on the left and right wing, own stock in weapons manufacturing or other areas where warfare represents profit.
Like Seriously.... How do they ALL get away with it? I have lost total Faith in our government. I'm old so I am not getting my blood pressure up like I did during Nixon.
Kinda like how they were beginning to probe the Pelosi's about their insider trading one day, and then he gets 'attacked' in his home the next, then suddenly the insider trading prove takes a back seat to the 'extremist' attack on a politician.
From 5:10 in the video on, Jon Stewart describes the workings of our struggling Republic better than anyone I've ever heard. Much thanks to the people working in the shadows who keep it somewhat functional, despite the puppet politicians.
@@rileyhoffman6629 He has joined the bandwagon of people pretending the world doesn't know a woman is an adult human female. This transmovement is not in our interest. I don't need my creepy ex showing up in women's changing rooms because of how he "identifies." So-called inclusive sports are dangerous for us because our bodies are different from males in quite a few ways. Also, we have fought long and hard to have a voice in society. Now we get silenced by men on the left too...except they wear dresses while doing it. I don't believe in gender. Nobody has ever given me any sort of coherent definition of it that didn't sound like sexism incarnate.
That line he said, "the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice", is a mlk quote. A good man to look towards for moral support. What js said was a perfect addition.
When he said "when you find good people, you could always get something done" That is what politics should be . Good people doing the best for the people of this country!
The problem is the individual people don't matter anymore. There's a whole system in place that corrupts even the most well-intentioned people. It actively selects for those who are corruptible, or are naive enough that they can be overridden. The issue is that we cannot vote our way to fixing these problems. We have to do things like ignore the laws which have been purchased for the last 50 years by wealthy corporations and billionaires which hurt regular Americans but save the wealthy money. We have to strike. We have to grind the wheels of capital to a halt or we will be ignored. Look at what's going on in France right now. Over just a 2-year increase in their retirement age, government buildings are being burned down. Imagine getting enough Americans that angry and are corrupt government.
The problem is when almost half of the population votes for an obvious misoginist incompetent fascist. Which does say a lot about that half of the country.
I have a friend who is a Texas state rep- he is far to the right (I am not), but I still appreciate his passion for the state. There is plenty to do without agreeing on everything.
This is a waste of time. Nothing is going to come of it. We all know the Americans in the upper tier are exempt from any DOJ legal jeopardy. Deviance is more successful than the law and law abiding intellects apparently.
I wouldn't say that DJT was ever that popular,I mean he stood for president twice and lost the popular vote twice ,when he stood against Hilary more people voted for her,but as the electoral college(the states) voted for him he won because that's how the system works. When president Biden came out of retirement to beat him,gentleman Joe won both the popular vote and the electoral college,over 7 million more Americans voted for him,so in popularity terms Joe is 7 million times more popular.
If you let one person get away with it, others will use it as an example of why they can do it, too. So, holding one person accountable prevents further people from doing it.
Look up the countries with the lowest levels of corruption. Compare how their governments are set up with how our government is set up. What do you notice?
Incorrect. The people as a whole don't care. Managed to subdivide every interest group possible along every line possible so no one can ever get a collective action i.e. will of the people moving because the will of the people are in constant struggle with eachother. Democrat, Republican whoever and they know if they can put out enough little squabbles like the idiots human beings are we'll find one to build our little hills to die on. Individuals can be intelligent, but get enough people into a crowd and they become dumb panicky animals terrified of being ostracised by whatever little cloister they've decided to group themselves with or whatever exclusive cause who will never have the popular support to actually pressure any of the government systems. It doesn't help that most people you run into can't even tell you what the actual policy processes are for the people they are voting for. Vote for congressman/woman x or y. What is there actual stance and policy for what they are saying? Don't know but it sounds like something people agree with so vote for them. No research. No studies into actual policy think groups and research. Vote to save the environment? Don't look into the fact that the solar panel manufacturer is dumping millions of gallons of toxic chemicals into the water in their countries of manufacture that are absolutely god awful. Vote on gun regulation? Completely ignore that different places have different requirements. Hey you live in the sticks where your nearest neighbor might be 45 minutes away and same for the nearest law enforcement. Might want a gun if something goes bad. Or hey someone living in a more remote area where wildlife might actually be a concern? I'd probably want a gun handy just in case as I don't fancy my chances with something like a curious grizzly living in the area. vs Hey living in a city of 5-6 million people where the probability of some idiot whose had too much to drink or has a temperament problem will start shooting? Might want some heavier regulations. Or hey even a lot of folks in the NRA (National Rifle Association) believe that maybe people not deemed mentally culpable probably shouldn't have access to guns. So maybe everyone can agree if you can't be trusted to not live alone and pass a basic psyche eval that everyone can agree to and start with getting that passed into law. But nope just because everyones so obsessed with not giving ground to the other party/organization can't even agree to that. Basically I don't really blame the politicians and interest groups for grabbing everything they think they can get away with. This is supposed to be a government of the people, by the people and for the people. But the people don't care and are content to scream at eachother despite there being 300 million+ people vs how many corporate interest groups and politicians?
Even Trump ran on the slogan of draining the swamp (he claimed the intelligent kids are holding things together while their elderly bosses are tools in the hands of the corporations 5:55 )
“When you found someone of good faith you could always get something done.” I suspect that people of good faith in positions of power are often hard to find. Heartfelt thanks to those who keep looking.
@Skippy I know what you mean. My company holiday parties tend to have lots of drinking. One year we were doing this Conga line with everyone in a huge train, for what seemed like an eternity. Then funniest part of the night though, was when the sun was starting to come up I realized this wasn't an office party at all. I was alone my room at a psychiatric hospital. Either way, i had a good time, and got a laugh out of it. Everyone has those little moments sometimes
His show and podcast are on RUclips. You can’t miss him that much if you don’t even know that. You don’t even need Apple TV, since most clips are available on RUclips.
Man, even after all these years, Jon Stewart always puts it back into the right perspective. The law is the law. Whether or not someone becomes a martyr is a social issue, but not a legal issue. Crimes are crimes, and we should hold everyone accountable. Jon Stewart has his priorities straight.
I totally agree with Jon Stewart....people grew sick & tired of our corrupt governments. They are supposed to represent The People, but instead are lining their own pockets. It all comes down to greed and power, period!
And there threatening to arrest a former president and guy that rightly or wrongly is viewed as the direct opposition to the corruption. Trumps lawyer isn't in jail because he broke a law he is in jail because he was close to Trump so they found a law he broke to try to take down their opposition. Not a single person is innocent in our modern system trust me if you get on the wrong side of a powerful person or group you are guilty of something.
Corruption in government happens because American voters allow it to happen, you cannot achieve accountability when there are too many bad faith voters that elect corrupt leaders. Donald Trump is the most obvious con man in politics; he has been working in his own self-interest for his entire life and he admires foreign dictators. And yet millions of Americans still voted for Donald Trump despite the obvious fact that Trump only cares about making himself more rich and powerful. Marjorie Taylor Green is also another obvious liar and yet she was elected in congress by American voters Many Trump Supporters even admit that they would vote for Donald Trump no matter what he does or no matter what crime he commits; even Trump himself acknowledged that he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and he would still not lose any votes. American government is corrupt not because of bad faith politicians, but because of the bad faith voters who elected them. Trump Supporters worship Trump as if he is some kind of honest messiah ordained by God, which is obviously the result of their severe cognitive dissonance as bad faith voters. If Americans actually wanted to fix the system and remove the power of lobbyists, then they would have elected Bernie Sanders as President, but they didn't.
"They always talk about, 'the arc of the moral universe bends towards justice,' but it doesn't bend that way through gravity-you have to bend it." Wtf. Jon Stewart is a gold mine.
The gift Jon gives me, other than a solid laugh, is when he says something I don’t know about or don’t agree with, I feel prompted to reflect and research. He is really good at provoking thought ❤
Trump was in 3,509 Lawsuits before he was President. In Office he faced Lawsuits in USA & all over World. He is Probably at 5,000 Now. Lock Him Up. With his Band of Traitors. Espionage

yet it was a direct quote from Jon at the end, but yeah, I agree with what you're saying. CNN will always cater to the "both sides" crowd, so of course they cherry picked that quote.
He is saying he doesn't care if he goes to jail, only that the law is observed and prosecuted regardless of the subject of its application. They're related, yet distinct.
It was a direct quote. What he cares about is the equal application and pursuit of justice. Whether tRump goes to jail if he is found guilty, or if his restitution is another sentence is beside the point. Jon cares about fairness.
@@chalkandcheese1868 It's not a common saying, who the fuck would say that sentence in everyday life? It'd also not profound but some dumb fuck like you is the last person anyone else would listen to on the subject because you don't even know what a "common saying" is, why would anyone trust your judgement?
Jon, I couldn’t agree with you more here. This was an incredible interview. I truly appreciate the bipartisan clearheadedness of this man. He is a man for our time.
This is the most truthful thing I’ve seen in years. John is a Justice warrior. He’s really good at using words. His thoughts are amazing. When I listen to him, it makes me want to think more. I can tell from listening to him talk, that he knows a lot about stuff. I wish he could be on TV everyday because he’d say a lot of smart stuff that would help make this world a much better place.

This guy is the real deal. Doesn’t matter if you’re American, Guatemalan or Indonesian, when he is speaking about bending the arc towards justice, that is the truth of the World and of Humanity. It is endless, from the origins of Humanity and will endure until the end of it.

@Axel Claudius Knappmeyer I am a liberal. My ideology boils down to equality, and the advancement of Humanity as a whole beyond its stagnated state. Why have an entire populace slaving over menial labor that can be totally automated while we push forward into the great unknowns. Seek out new life and new ideas. The people who fear being subjected to this ideology are the ones without the skills or critical thinking to actually contribute to a Humanity that pushes forward. They fear being left behind because they are stuck in the past.
Having people like Jon in our media might be an even more powerful change. Think about it. Media has done so much to bring about the mess we're in, and he's really good at it, because he's been doing it for years.
When he was grilling Larry Summers about the policy of corporate profits over the labor market, I wish more reporters were like that. Didn’t let him off the hook or let him side track him.

Well, he should BE president not run for it. He could not win ofc. Too bad tho cuz he would be the best since Obama@@mikeblack_pw
You do fictional things, hope?
I'm with Jon Stewart. We either have Rule of Law or we don't. We're sick of the monied interests and lobbyists. Accountability, NOW!
yes!! nail the bidens for the blatant peddling and for joe biden selling out the VP office in 2015 before leaving!
powerful statement
Then when is Hillary going to be indicted? The law either applies to everyone or it doesn’t at all. She deleted 33k emails while being under a subpoena
…. Clinton, Biden, Obama, Bush, etc. the country has been run by viscous criminals for a while. Having an affair is not the corruption what we need to take out lol. This is a clear witch hunt to take out Trump, who all the former criminals I noted, hate.
Meanwhile the Biden family received millions from China.
Love Jon Stewart; he is intelligent, compassionate, honest, principled - as well as funny and perceptive; we need more like him in every facet of government and media.

And veterans.
He got the PACT act passed.
When he or anyone else on national television tells everyone about the 14-minute 1942 USDA film *Hemp for Victory* and how it is the key to stopping climate change, then that person can be said to care about everything that matters, because everything that we are as a country is because of Cannabis Sativa which the film explains. We would have lost World War II without legal Cannabis, and the US government buried the film under decades of drug war lies to create this polluted nightmare that we are experiencing today. All of our plastic and paper and fuel and electricity can be derived from industrial hemp. This is the real reason why "Marijuana" was outlawed. It is not a dangerous drug. Cannabis Sativa, called "Marihuana" on the Special Tax Stamp that is shown 3 minutes into *Hemp for Victory,* built this country and virtually all human civilization across planet Earth. It made the ropes and sails on every ship that travelled to North America. It made the ropes on the ships and the boot laces and parachutes for US soldiers on D-Day.
But because none of this was taught to any of us in school or even in college, we're still funding the US government's war against Americans to keep "Marihuana" illegal.
There is an official .gov link to the video from the US National Archives. It became public in 1990. It is also on several RUclips channels. But unless anyone in national or social media will tell their millions of viewers and subscribers about it, generation after generation of Americans will continue to not know about any of this.
This is a genuine role model. A good and well balanced person using his platform (however large or small) to further his core beliefs.

@@what8562 It makes perfect sense. Too many senators are old people who are completely out of touch with the real world and the problems real people are facing in it, have no idea what's going on, and should have retired a decade or two ago.

Nancy Pelosi is 83
Mitch McConnell is 81

None of them should be in office and none of them should be running for re-election when the time comes. We desperately need term limits for Senators as well as upper age limits for all government positions.
U have a demon as your profile picture
I know he'll never do it but if Jon Stewart ever ran for presidential office i would vote for him in a heart beat. Id even canvas and go door to door. He is a beacon of what it means to be an upstanding American. What hes been able to bring to light and able to help, with reguaeds to the victims of 9/11 and the subsequent veterans with cancers from the war it created is remarkable.
There are plenty of people who will vote for him. He can stand up and say. What do I do in my spare time? I'm in Congress anyway talking to congressional and senate people to get them to pass 9/11 bills for the first responders. I'm not getting money for this. I'm not paying people for this. I'm trying to get people to do the right thing. That's what my presidency will be. Getting Congress to pass laws so there is accountability all the way to the top. Doing the right thing. Getting SCOTUS to be part of the system of Ethics. No more power games for those people.
Upstanding people don't win elections.
Seems that Jon goes well above the "Bar", rather than having to lower the "Bar"🙂
Jon Stewart is one of the smartest people in the industry, and is smarter than probably 99% of politicians (not that the bar is set very high). I’d love to see him run for office one day, though I wouldn’t blame him if he wants to stay the hell out of politics.
Usually I wouldn't agree that a celebrity should run for president, but I agree seeing the tireless work he has done for 9/11 first responders and Military veterans shows he could be the man for the job.
Jon Stewart has a gift for taking on the big, complicated issues and cutting right through to the actual point. One of my modern day heroes. Thank you, sir, and keep up the good work.

Jon Stewart is an amazing person. Fun fact- He owns a farm animal sanctuary and is vegan. So is Greta Thunberg. What do they have in common with these other intelligent, widely admired people? They all chose to not eat animals- Pythagoras, Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci, Voltaire, Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Nikolai Tesla, Albert Einstein, Gandhi, Albert Schweitzer, George Bernard Shaw, Tolstoy, Thoreau, Saint Francis of Asisi, and many more. Some on this list switched late in life, but stayed on it to the end. Ben Franklin switched at age 16.
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." -Einstein (Of course today, he would be vegan. So would the others on this list.)

When he said "when you find good people, you could always get something done" That is what politics should be . Good people doing the best for the people of this country!
The problem is the individual people don't matter anymore. There's a whole system in place that corrupts even the most well-intentioned people. It actively selects for those who are corruptible, or are naive enough that they can be overridden.
The issue is that we cannot vote our way to fixing these problems. We have to do things like ignore the laws which have been purchased for the last 50 years by wealthy corporations and billionaires which hurt regular Americans but save the wealthy money. We have to strike. We have to grind the wheels of capital to a halt or we will be ignored. Look at what's going on in France right now. Over just a 2-year increase in their retirement age, government buildings are being burned down. Imagine getting enough Americans that angry and are corrupt government.
The problem is when almost half of the population votes for an obvious misoginist incompetent fascist. Which does say a lot about that half of the country.
I have a friend who is a Texas state rep- he is far to the right (I am not), but I still appreciate his passion for the state. There is plenty to do without agreeing on everything.
Guess that means elected Republicans just aren't any good lol

Amen 🙏 Speaking the truth!! Only the poor and the powerless suffer!! Jon Stewart !! .
This is a waste of time. Nothing is going to come of it. We all know the Americans in the upper tier are exempt from any DOJ legal jeopardy. Deviance is more successful than the law and law abiding intellects apparently.
I wouldn't say that DJT was ever that popular,I mean he stood for president twice and lost the popular vote twice ,when he stood against Hilary more people voted for her,but as the electoral college(the states) voted for him he won because that's how the system works.
When president Biden came out of retirement to beat him,gentleman Joe won both the popular vote and the electoral college,over 7 million more Americans voted for him,so in popularity terms Joe is 7 million times more popular.
If you let one person get away with it, others will use it as an example of why they can do it, too. So, holding one person accountable prevents further people from doing it.
That’s why MTG and Matt Gaetz are bringing in Tara Reade! We will get the justice that is rightly so for her!
Does Hillary count??
If Trump can't be prosecuted then nobody should be prosecuted for anything ever. Your status should never protect you from prosecution.
@David C, CNN will never cover that. And if they do, Then statuate of limitations will be the new woke phrase. Just not in Trumps case
What he do?
Jon Stewart nails it again. The corruption and no accountability kills us everytime and they don't care one bit.
Look up the countries with the lowest levels of corruption. Compare how their governments are set up with how our government is set up. What do you notice?
I still have my Stewart/Colbert ‘08 t-shirt lol
Incorrect. The people as a whole don't care. Managed to subdivide every interest group possible along every line possible so no one can ever get a collective action i.e. will of the people moving because the will of the people are in constant struggle with eachother. Democrat, Republican whoever and they know if they can put out enough little squabbles like the idiots human beings are we'll find one to build our little hills to die on. Individuals can be intelligent, but get enough people into a crowd and they become dumb panicky animals terrified of being ostracised by whatever little cloister they've decided to group themselves with or whatever exclusive cause who will never have the popular support to actually pressure any of the government systems. It doesn't help that most people you run into can't even tell you what the actual policy processes are for the people they are voting for.
Vote for congressman/woman x or y. What is there actual stance and policy for what they are saying? Don't know but it sounds like something people agree with so vote for them. No research. No studies into actual policy think groups and research.
Vote to save the environment? Don't look into the fact that the solar panel manufacturer is dumping millions of gallons of toxic chemicals into the water in their countries of manufacture that are absolutely god awful.
Vote on gun regulation? Completely ignore that different places have different requirements. Hey you live in the sticks where your nearest neighbor might be 45 minutes away and same for the nearest law enforcement. Might want a gun if something goes bad. Or hey someone living in a more remote area where wildlife might actually be a concern? I'd probably want a gun handy just in case as I don't fancy my chances with something like a curious grizzly living in the area. vs Hey living in a city of 5-6 million people where the probability of some idiot whose had too much to drink or has a temperament problem will start shooting? Might want some heavier regulations. Or hey even a lot of folks in the NRA (National Rifle Association) believe that maybe people not deemed mentally culpable probably shouldn't have access to guns. So maybe everyone can agree if you can't be trusted to not live alone and pass a basic psyche eval that everyone can agree to and start with getting that passed into law. But nope just because everyones so obsessed with not giving ground to the other party/organization can't even agree to that.
Basically I don't really blame the politicians and interest groups for grabbing everything they think they can get away with. This is supposed to be a government of the people, by the people and for the people. But the people don't care and are content to scream at eachother despite there being 300 million+ people vs how many corporate interest groups and politicians?
LOL really? Biden has sold secrets to China
Even Trump ran on the slogan of draining the swamp (he claimed the intelligent kids are holding things together while their elderly bosses are tools in the hands of the corporations 5:55 )
“When you found someone of good faith you could always get something done.” I suspect that people of good faith in positions of power are often hard to find. Heartfelt thanks to those who keep looking.

And there threatening to arrest a former president and guy that rightly or wrongly is viewed as the direct opposition to the corruption.

"I want to find a system of government that finds accountability."-Jon Stewart
@@axelclaudiusknappmeyer8416 out of your league
Exactly. Lobbyists are doing legal bribery. Think of those that work for the NRA. They are not held accountable.
Corruption in government happens because American voters allow it to happen, you cannot achieve accountability when there are too many bad faith voters that elect corrupt leaders. Donald Trump is the most obvious con man in politics; he has been working in his own self-interest for his entire life and he admires foreign dictators. And yet millions of Americans still voted for Donald Trump despite the obvious fact that Trump only cares about making himself more rich and powerful. Marjorie Taylor Green is also another obvious liar and yet she was elected in congress by American voters Many Trump Supporters even admit that they would vote for Donald Trump no matter what he does or no matter what crime he commits; even Trump himself acknowledged that he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and he would still not lose any votes. American government is corrupt not because of bad faith politicians, but because of the bad faith voters who elected them. Trump Supporters worship Trump as if he is some kind of honest messiah ordained by God, which is obviously the result of their severe cognitive dissonance as bad faith voters. If Americans actually wanted to fix the system and remove the power of lobbyists, then they would have elected Bernie Sanders as President, but they didn't.

@Axel Claudius Knappmeyer it sounds like hostility, not just a thought!
"They always talk about, 'the arc of the moral universe bends towards justice,' but it doesn't bend that way through gravity-you have to bend it."
Wtf. Jon Stewart is a gold mine.
Been a fan of him for years, this is like a top three line by him imo
Been following his brilliance for over 30 years. He’s pure genius.
@@Sandi-ke9mi Universe forbid but when he dies, I would love to see a book publish all his quotes.
It is from MLK.
Stewart had me at "aquarium" though...
Nobody cuts the bs faster than JS.
I agree ruclips.net/video/2i0Ste_c-J4/видео.html
Awesome to hear such a hopeful, positive voice.
Jon shows that he was much more than his talented writers. He is intelligent, witty, charming, and engaging.
The Ratings are IN!!! and the Clinton News Network has hit a 30 Year LOW!!! 😂😂😂😂
Lets see JokeTube try to hide that FACT!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"When you found someone of good faith, you could always get something done." - Jon Stewart. I like that! 🙂
The gift Jon gives me, other than a solid laugh, is when he says something I don’t know about or don’t agree with, I feel prompted to reflect and research. He is really good at provoking thought ❤
Trump was in 3,509 Lawsuits before he was President. In Office he faced Lawsuits in USA & all over World. He is Probably at 5,000 Now. Lock Him Up. With his Band of Traitors. Espionage
Absolutely agree. Well said.
Do you agree with veganism? Jon Stewart owns a farm animal sanctuary and is vegan. So is Greta Thunberg. What do they have in common with these other intelligent, widely admired people? They all chose to not eat animals- Pythagoras, Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci, Voltaire, Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Nikolai Tesla, Albert Einstein, Gandhi, Albert Schweitzer, George Bernard Shaw, Tolstoy, Thoreau, Saint Francis of Asisi, and many more. Some on this list switched late in life, but stayed on it to the end. Ben Franklin switched at age 16.
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." -Einstein (Of course today, he would be vegan. So would the others on this list.)
The famous Professor of Physics Brian Greene is vegan. You may have seen him on PBS hosting science shows for the layman. Jane Goodall recently went from a long time vegetarian to vegan. Wikipedia has a more complete list.
no he just makes obvious points about an obviously fucked up government...the fact that he makes you think is how anti intellectual you prove the culture, or at least a segment of it, is...for looking up to a pseudo intellectual, inadequate shitheel like Stewart
Jon for president!
Wow. Mindblowing! Thank you for sharing your gift. This was wonderful to hear today. A breath of fresh air.
Jon is so smart, kind,real human so patriotic too.
Jon is literally saying the opposite of “I don’t care if he goes to jail”.
yet it was a direct quote from Jon at the end, but yeah, I agree with what you're saying. CNN will always cater to the "both sides" crowd, so of course they cherry picked that quote.
He is saying he doesn't care if he goes to jail, only that the law is observed and prosecuted regardless of the subject of its application. They're related, yet distinct.
It was a direct quote. What he cares about is the equal application and pursuit of justice. Whether tRump goes to jail if he is found guilty, or if his restitution is another sentence is beside the point. Jon cares about fairness.
Yup. A direct quote taken COMPLETELY out of context to pander to the CNN audience.
He's kidding, and being silly
Much respect and fondness for BOTH of these human beings for simply being them. The best of the human race .
With pride there is no price. With greed there is no limit...Jon tells the truth.Let us support him.
“We either have the rule of law or don’t have the rule of law.” That is a good quote.
It's just a common saying used a billion times, it's hardly profound.
@@chalkandcheese1868 It's not a common saying, who the fuck would say that sentence in everyday life? It'd also not profound but some dumb fuck like you is the last person anyone else would listen to on the subject because you don't even know what a "common saying" is, why would anyone trust your judgement?
For both sides.
It literally means nothing. Either we do or we don’t, brilliant.
It should be “We either have the RULE of law or the rule of LAW.”
Jon, I couldn’t agree with you more here. This was an incredible interview. I truly appreciate the bipartisan clearheadedness of this man. He is a man for our time.
This is the most truthful thing I’ve seen in years. John is a Justice warrior. He’s really good at using words. His thoughts are amazing. When I listen to him, it makes me want to think more. I can tell from listening to him talk, that he knows a lot about stuff. I wish he could be on TV everyday because he’d say a lot of smart stuff that would help make this world a much better place.
Jon Stewart is an amazing person. Fun fact- He owns a farm animal sanctuary and is vegan. So is Greta Thunberg. What do they have in common with these other intelligent, widely admired people?

@@someguy2135 is your point that being vegan makes you smarter? Or is it that being vegan must be a smart decision because this list of smart people went vegetarian/vegan?
@@Astrussy Yeah lol, Hitler was also vegetarian, by making that point being vegetarian makes you closer to being Hitler
He's actually a fascist

Not holding my breath for any accountability. The least we can hope for is that he's never allowed to run for president/ public office EVER AGAIN.
Damn, he says it like it is. Doesn’t care if he jabs at right or left. This man is just pointing out what’s REALLY broken. Without sounding like we’re doomed.
Its how most americans felt before 2016's Trump vs Hillary war which completely divided our nation by hate and disdain for whosever deemed on 'the other side' and we haven't recovered yet. Populism's downside was in full view for all to see.
@@ZebraKatzWhereItsAt , it was before that. When Richard Nixon was elected, was when hating the other side became normal politics. Richard Nixon got taken out of the Presidency for something that wouldn't even be a bi-line if a President did it today. That started the us-versus-them politics in my lifetime at least.
Lol he barely jabs the left though😂😂 the right is garbage and Jon let’s them hear it
@@jamirbingham4101 hmm no. There’s some good ones where he jabs at leftist ideology and behavior. It’s beautiful. Left tears taste as good as the rights.
@@jamirbingham4101 , yep, it just isn't in those left wing media pundits to treat both sides fairly. Even when I think they are trying, it's pretty one sided. Not that the right wing doesn't have the same problem. There is no one in the middle, although everyone claims to be.
“If you found someone of good faith you could always get something done”

Good luck finding anybody like that anymore.
@@elizabethsullivan7176 the problem is the Republican Party is flooded with people opposite of that. That’s why it can’t get done.
@Elizabeth Sullivan hey, just bc Republicans have self reported as spineless scum doesn't mean everyone is.
...and then the CNN segment abruptly stops 😂😂😂 no division here boys, on to the next segment.
@@galaxyglizzy That's not the end of the segment, its where they cut this short video clip.
This guy is the real deal. Doesn’t matter if you’re American, Guatemalan or Indonesian, when he is speaking about bending the arc towards justice, that is the truth of the World and of Humanity. It is endless, from the origins of Humanity and will endure until the end of it.
"If you found someone with good faith, you can always get things done" ..Is why I do it myself.
“Our country is held together by hundreds of really talented legislative aides. And by thousands of grassroots activists that are blocked by a moat of lobbyists and moneyed interests.”

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This guy really feels what people think of our government , run for president Jon !!
Stewart 2024!
I'd vote for him.
Can you imagine Trump trying to debate this intelligent man? lol
Trump couldn't even handle 'Sleepy' Joe Biden.
@@ug9191 Stewart would devastate Trump. I am not sure Trump would even understand Stewart.
jon is just a great human being i am so thankful people like him exist in our world
❤❤❤
Good morning to you
Jon Stewart slinging hard truths.
"When you found someone of good faith, you could always get something done." Brilliantly said.
What’s the percentage of people of good faith-or people willing to talk, listen, debate long enough to find out if they can act on good faith?
@@whatisahandle221 Who knows? Even if it's very small, you still gotta try or you surely won't get anywhere.
@Axel Claudius Knappmeyer I am a liberal. My ideology boils down to equality, and the advancement of Humanity as a whole beyond its stagnated state. Why have an entire populace slaving over menial labor that can be totally automated while we push forward into the great unknowns. Seek out new life and new ideas. The people who fear being subjected to this ideology are the ones without the skills or critical thinking to actually contribute to a Humanity that pushes forward. They fear being left behind because they are stuck in the past.
So much Respect for Jon Stewart! He never gave up
Fighting for OUR VETS and
Getting them the benefits
They deserved!
And giving a Na*i a medal too
Man if we could get more people like Jon into our government, just think of the things we could do.
We could probably manage to update our infrastructure. You know, that basic function of government that we are NOT doing
Having people like Jon in our media might be an even more powerful change. Think about it. Media has done so much to bring about the mess we're in, and he's really good at it, because he's been doing it for years.
When he was grilling Larry Summers about the policy of corporate profits over the labor market, I wish more reporters were like that. Didn’t let him off the hook or let him side track him.
He’s principled. Sad that it’s so rare in our politics.
I feel like he would be on point with healthcare.
it's really fascinating to me how this guy goes from being basically a comedian and now political commentator and he's actually very good at it

Received, thank you
We need more Jon Stewart’s. I would vote for him in a second.
I like to think Jon Stewart embodies what I love about America. He really seems to care about people while also using critical thinking. I wish more people in government aspired to be like him, comedy aside
He also cares about animals and our environment. Fun fact- He owns a farm animal sanctuary and is vegan. So is Greta Thunberg. What do they have in common with these other intelligent, widely admired people?

I was never a big Jon Stewart fan. But I've definitely been getting more on board lately. He's a real one
Jon Stewart is one of my personal heroes. Thanks for everything you do, Jon!
Jon is always spot on. It’s easier to fool someone than it is telling them they’re being fooled.
"It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." ~ Mark Twain
CNN viewer saying this is pretty funny. You guys spent years yowling about fabricated evidence during Russiagate.
Ignoring the Hunter Biden thing. Looking past Pelosi and her insider trading. Fauci and all his shenanigan's. You guys are
fooled more than pretty much any other group in the country.
Gutfeld is spot on. Perhaps that is why he is the King of Late Night. Tucker is also always spot on. The most watched man on cable TV.
Gutfeld 😂 brooo…
@@Ranse213 McDonald's also sells the most burgers does that mean they're the best?
The idea that the rich and powerful could face accountability for their actions is outrageous. lol
It's extreme that some right wingers still choose to watch cnn after they lied on purpose about iraq. The people that chose to do that should be prosecuted
Truly
Sadly, it is...
Jon Stewart nailed it. There is no accountability for those who are in power.That's the problem.
What a breath of fresh air this guy is...😁
So spot on!!! No one is supposed to be above the law, right?! People need to be held accountable.
Just Trump. He's the only one in DC breaking any laws. Haven't you been watching the news?
You would have people go to prison for parking tickets, right?
Then why don't you say the same about the Bidens? Right.
@@gianthills We do, moron. Show us their crime.
Public must drag down these criminals on the streets
JON STEWART MAKES MORE SENSE THAN ANY POLITICIAN IVE SEEN.
This interview right here is why I like Jon Stewart.
