Interview with Oklahoma State Sen. Nathan Dahm | The Problem with Jon Stewart
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 ноя 2024
- State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-OK) has penned several bills loosening gun restrictions, including the nation's first anti-red flag law against restricting gun access to those deemed dangerous. Not only does he want to protect the Second Amendment, but he also believes guns make us safer. We think it's probably one or the other.

#TheProblemWithJonStewart #interview #guncontrol
I’m a courtroom lawyer, and Jon Stewart is not, but I would say that was the most devastating cross-examination I’ve ever seen.
And do you know why? Because he was speaking the truth! And of course he is quick-witted. I miss Jon on our televisions!
This is a masterclass in debate and rhetoric.
this guy should've said no to an interview with Jon Stewart.
When sophistry hits the wall of truth. Its a beautiful thing to witness.
That entire 8 minute session was a setup for the final 30 seconds and the Honorable Senator from Oklahoma walked directly into the trap. Absolute evisceration. John is a master of controlling his emotions and not letting his rage overwhelm his ability to reason. Absolutely fantastic.
I loved in when the senator tried to say, “This isn’t an anecdote; this actually happened,” completely unaware that it’s still an anecdote.
I guess he only thought of anecdote as a ‘joke’
@@gregorycarnielutube Apparently, he never got beyond 6th grade.........
Words have no meaning anymore, and "anecdote" is a big word.
Sadly, politicians do not need to prove intelligence, much less competence, to get elected.There are people in Congress who actually believe in a literal translation of Genesis. Adam and Eve and all of that fairytale nonsense.
He’s aware
The way this man wracked his brain to avoid saying 'register' was a feat to behold.
For real. I'm tempted to turn it into homebrew DnD content.
In defense, he has very little brain to work with. This man never made it past high school and doesn't even know what the word anecdote means, yet somehow he failed upward to Senator, but that's the Republican way it seems.
racked* but yes absolutely; an actual demon.
@@IMatchoNation - he had it right the first time. It's wracked, not racked.
And yet the guns stay.
The jews can't even win the gun war.
They've infected every other American institution.
Historically a vile filth tribe.
When they say they want to address "fatherlessness" what they mean is that they want to punish single mothers and make it harder for women to leave abusive men. It's a misogynistic dogwhistle
Yeeeep - all importance to the “family values” without actually considering *why* there are these broken families, or what impact they have on single mothers with all this stupid propaganda
"So, you know what would help with the firearm problem? Fixing the fatherless crisis."
... You mean the fathers that are killing themselves with firearms? Wow, amazing.
I remember watching this youtuber named Don Stever. Called anyone fatherless and it was mainly because they were lgbt and hyper fixated in fandoms. He was straight up exploiting and bullying kids for profit. Don took me down the alt right pipeline.
All of this is complete bullshit and sheer stupidity.
At the same time women tend to make terrible decisions by ignoring good men and hooking up with the unemployed bum.
"This is not an anecdote. This actually happened." Among the many things that Dahm doesn't know, the definition of anecdote is one of them.
Be nice bro, he just came out of the cloning factory and got the basic memory package. He's trying his best
I noticed that too. It bugged the shit out of me, and I'm glad Jon didn't get sidetracked by his ignorance because I'm sure it bothered him as well.
Yeah, that bugged me when he said it was not an anecdote.
I am sure in his mind he was thinking... But it is not an anecdote, it is a fact that actually happened.
And take into consideration that this clown is considered to be a smart guy among Republicans...................
Yeah that was hilarious!😂
"The government has a responsibility to..."
He said it! He got him to say it!
Why isn’t Jon Stewart on Sixty Minutes? They could fire their entire cast and save millions and just hire Stewart.
John's response was golden
That was the best part!!! He said, "What?" And he thought, "Oops." Haha!!!
Because John thinks he’s smarter than he is. Don’t misunderstand I’m not saying John is a stupid person he’s not he’s a very intelligent guy who I agree with on a lot of subjects. I blamed China for the Wuhan leak within the first week of the outbreak, and that was just based off deductive logic with little evidence but I was shocked to hear him say it to Colbert. On this particular issue he really is not a voice of reason, nor does he have a compelling argument.
And I’m going to say this, with the assumption, it will be criticized… But I mean this whole heartedly… aside from a few of us in the country, who have absolutely no power to help the issue in anyway… No one cares about the REAL cause of the gun violence in the country as it relates to mass shootings/shooters. Not the bulk of the citizens, and seemingly none of those in a position of power to make any meaningful statements , suggestions, or actions.
No one Just like no one cares/cared if they were still any sex slaves on Epstein’s island after he and his Madame were arrested. And I say this as someone who tried to encourage such discussions around the time these would have been immedietly relevant to discuss, having encouraged discussion online more than dozens of times on both issues… more than a few venues and multiple times… No one cared to discuss it …
@@mrspicolli That's a large amount of meandering text without any real arguments. What is the real cause, then?
He really said "because the government does have a responsibility to protect children" without the slightest bit of awareness, I love when they let Jon use their own words against them like that
Yeah, except that man wasn't letting Jon do it, he was just straight up doing it.
And the amended “in certain instances”. 😮
Lol he caught himself when Jon said “what?”
Actually it doesn't. It was ruled that cops have no *duty to protect you
Protection of children doesn’t mean removing rights from people. Fail
"I'm gonna five you a hint: it's not drag queen readings"
That one smacked REALLY hard
4:13 "This is not an anecdote, this actually happened"
this man is a senator
Well he’s a state senator not national senator, but still very worrying
I think this every time I watch the video. It drives me crazy each time. 🤦🏻♂️
@@abcxyz3378that poor state
I don’t think he know what anecdote means, dear lord
In the immortal words of Inigo Montoya “you keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.“
I just realized that I don’t think this politician knows what an anecdote is 😂
Oh, I would say that there is a lot that this politician doesn't know!😂
He does. He just can't admit that it's an anecdote.
For real I was just screaming this into my phone.
I think he knows the people voting for him don't know what it is, and if they found out they might understand that he's a fascist all the sudden. It's calculated more often than not. Only the loudest of the turd gallery is actually stupid.
I just saw that part poor little man😂
This guy will hate himself for agreeing to this interview. The pain in his eyes 😢
They all do, because they all think they'll stump him with their bullshit
I thought he was about to cry. 😂
Grasping at all straws just to be right, and he can’t even do it
I know! I keep wondering how people are agreeing to these interviews.
@@DarkhalfBreed Because to them, he's still just "some comedian"
I love Jon Stewart, you can tell the look of anger and disgust at the end of this. You don’t give a flying f$&k.
I think that's the beginning and end of it. This guy, and the camp he's in, doesn't care about the rational arguments. It's partly about an irrational belief, and partly about power, and partly about money.
Just torn him a new one😂
That senator only wants to make people worry about it the smallest and pointless things imaginable and distract them from bigger actual issues for his personal gain.
This interview should be shown nationwide primetime every day
Hey Jon do you take into account that most gun violence in the U.S. is correlated to gang violence and that many of those gang members are teens?? Do you also take into account the guns these gang members almost always use are handguns and not "assault rifles"?? Oh and by the way, they get these guns illegally. We have a gang violence problem like no other country but no one dares to talk about that.🤷
@@adveni323 I know right, it’s almost like being able to track guns to individuals and better registration measures would allow for law enforcement to more easily find illegal sources of guns and solve gun crimes
@@adveni323 Gangs are in every city in every country. The difference is that they don't have easy access to guns, legal or illegal
It’s not about right or wrong, it never is. If that was the case every problem in the world would be relatively easily solved. It’s about keeping a certain or certain narratives alive that fit your social/religious/political groups. The most powerful force in this world is people wanting to be part of a group. The second strongest force is others exploiting this.
You have children dying in schools. Fix the gun laws.
I love the way he leashed him and walked him right down the path to the brutal truth.
He leashed him by interrupting him and not letting him talk.
@@morganhillfightclub2996 the guy was too embarrassed to talk because he realized his own hypocrisy 😂
@@morganhillfightclub2996 No, he just didn't let him escape the questions. And when he tried to make a false equivalence or misdirect, Stewart aggressively pulled him back.
@@Dac85 A false equivalence like what? Voting rights are the same as gun rights? Oh no, it was Jon Stewart making that false equivalence.
@@morganhillfightclub2996 I agree he is constantly interrupting and basically putting his words in senatos mouth.And one time, senator managed to turn the tables a little, he completely dodged with "you will blame it on semantics".
I will always love watching Jon eviscerate people with their own words. Been watching it for over 20 years now, will continue to watch and applaud for as long as I’m able to do so.
I know you don’t want to Mr. Stewart, but we need people like you to stand on a debate stage and get politicians to reveal themselves to people on national tv again. In other words, for the love of everything, run for president.
I wish Jon would too. But these beasts are exhausting
Even if he decided to drop out later, the simple act of putting them into that corner on the official debate stage would be so satisfying
This guy is a certified moron.... go back to your farm dummy.
@@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121 Agreed, never donated to a campaign before, but I would give as much as I legally could just to see it happen.
Thats like asking Jon to take his own life. He has family and loved ones. Only narcissists make it these days, and not because of the system, but bc ppl are fukin idiots in 2023.
We have disengaged fathers here, in Australia at the same rate that you have in the US but we do not have school shootings. At All.
Australia isn’t BURDENED with republicans.
You just have muslim stabbings.
Because you have stricter rules on guns right?
@@elainehewitt6813 ya think? /s
@@jangisslen292 what’s more pertinent..safety or freeedom. This debate kinda proves you can’t have both
Holy shit. That was absolutely brutal. You can see the senator’s soul leave his body
He needs to change his diaper
He has no soul, or anything even close to dignity or class. What a piece of crap
He's a Republican. He has no soul to begin with.
Wut soul????
Like a soul that had been tattered with AR-15 bullets!
The senator nervously nodding as Jon tells him “you have to register, register for the right to vote” is that of a child/student getting yelled at for misbehaving by an authority figure.
I would hate to get into an argument with Jon Stewart...he is way too smart! Which is the same reason he would NEVER run for President, unfortunately.
Its not the only thing you need to register for, that the government controls. Yet you hear it everytime, infringe on my rights, tyrannical government its such boring endless circle of a conversation.
Jon Leibowitz probably cut out the Oklahoman bringing up showing ID to buy a gun and to vote.
Notice the Senator could NOT bring himself to say you have to register to vote???? Great interview Jon!!
@@californiaslastgasp6847 There's a difference. For voting, the ID is to match your registered voting ID, and polling location against a national database. It's to prove you are who they have listed. For guns its to prove your age and give a name for a background check that does not include a national database, only in-state information. That means criminals can go across to any other states and purchase guns. On top of this, only 20 states currently do a full background check. Most of them just enter the owner into their own customer database. You have about as hard a time buying alcohol as you do guns in 32 states. So those two are not the same, which is why he couldn't say it without getting eviscerated.
This was a master class in interviewing. It should be required viewing for any journalism student. Absolutely brilliant.
LOL, that was not an interview, it was Jon grandstanding to make a point.
when he says "The leading cause of children's death is Firearms" that implies images of little kids being shot in a school when in reality, those numbers are mostly gangsters in the cities between ages of 15-18. Anything under 18 is called a "child" in the statistics, kinda different when a 17 year old selling drugs and being involved in gang activity gets shot, it's not the same as a 6 year old child being shot in a classroom.
And those deaths almost all of them are with illegal hand guns that would not be stopped by increasing restrictions and regulations on legal gun owners or banning AR-15.
He only made "good points" if you are ignorant, sadly.
There are no journalists anymore they are just corporate spokespeople regurgitating corporate press releases and spin nobody is ever held accountable by the press.
Suddenly everything is nobody's fault
@@wh0racle3 He never said anything like that. His point was that the Senator was extremely hypocritical and biased with his beliefs
No, he boxed him in and delibartly tried to trap him rather than having a conversation.
I am honestly in awe of Jon Stewart.
In my next life I'm coming back with his quick brain and articulation on a dime. How I admire that!
“This is not an anecdote Jon, this actually happened”. Unbelievable.
I love how this implies he’s told anecdotes that never actually happened.
@@537monster Yup. And this is not the guy that bags your groceries, he’s a senator. We’re screwed!
I think this airhead doesn't know the difference between a hypothetical story and anecdote. 😵💫
He clearly doesn't understand what "anecdote" means. That something is anecdotal doesn't mean it didn't happen, it means that it is very rare case taken out of proportion because while it probably happened in that instance, the alternative happens much more often. So saying "it actually happened" is not a counter to it being anecdotal. By making such a statement the person making it is just announcing he or she is an idiot.
I don't think that word means what you think it means.
i'm honestly shocked that Jon still hasn't been arrested after absolutely murdering a state representative on international television.
Lol right? It doesn’t help that the representative has dead pan body language pretty much the whole interview
I love *they had us in the first half*comments 😂😂😂
😂😂😂🎉
...because he didn't.
@@1911GreaterThanALL metaphorically
That last minute is powerful.
Republican arguments fall apart quickly when pressed with follow-up questions. But "journalists" in the media rarely ever push back. It's frustrating. Thank you for not giving up, Jon!
Fox 'reporters' still get passes and prime seating in the White House Press Room, and all their dumbest BaBa Booey questions humored by Press Secretaries, but real journalists only get a 'No Comment' and a snide grin when asking simple yes or no questions posed to a congressional GOP lizard in the hall.
Yes, but Jon could do these kinds of follow-up questions on a debate stage, if he'd actually run.
“Journalists” & “mainstream news” both sides everything to try to look like they don’t have a bias. But sometimes the facts are clearly on one side
@Kelly Bond I personally think he could. But Jon Stewart has never wavered from the belief that he's just a comedian despite his effectiveness as a political communicator. Humble to a fault in my view because he could do a lot if he entered that world more directly
Most politicians fall apart on guns when pressed outside of their talking points. Democrats do too.
There is nothing better than listening to an intelligent individual addressing a hypocrite.
Just listening to an intelligent person discussing anything is a treat.
@@sandralouth3103 these days. Troubled times.
I would like to see Jon Stewert actually do that! He is a liberal ventriloquist doll...what they think, he says
@@sparetherodd cope
@@sparetherodd ok. What's your opinion on 2A? How do you feel about the bastardization of textualism in Heller and Bruen? Is "shall not be infringed" truly legally different than "Congress shall make no law?"
That closing statement from Jon was so spot on. I’m honestly surprised that dude didn’t walk away in shame. Well done Mr. Stewart!
I Mean we didn't see what happend after The interview he could have walked away in shame.
These people know no shame, so I'm convinced that dude did not in fact walk away in shame. I bet he thinks he nailed it!
that would imply that Republicans actually can feel shame.
@@BeatriceKillam Yea, there is no such thing as right wing shame. They embrace hypocrisy.
People paid to lie never feel shame for their lies.
What a perfect example of using logic, facts and healthy debate to call bullshit on a narrative. Well done John Stewart.
The saddest part of this debate is that one guy is a U.S. Senator and the other guy is a talk show host. Why can't it be the other way around???
US *state* senator, but still.
He's only an Oklahoma state senator, but he still shouldn't be allowed anywhere near any kind of public office.
Absolutely ❤️ ❤️ The USA needs a political candidate like Jon Stewart
@@Jeremy-he3chCorrection: Senators WILL get called out for made-up facts, it happens every singular day.
Oklahoma State Senator, not U.S. Senator
"I'm familiar with a ton of anecdotes." Best line ever said to a politician.
This ain't a stump speech son, where's your data at? Lol, glorious.
The way the senator responded, I don't think he knows what the word "anecdote" means... this fucking party I swear to god...
Then the dude tries to tell his story of the woman who had a restraining order on her boyfriend … and Jon Stewart interrupted him because THAT is an anecdote. And anyway, I’m thinking most of us who support common sense gun laws would totally support that woman purchasing a weapon AFTER she passed a background check and, in my opinion, got some basic training on the weapon’s operation or demonstrated proficiency on that particular weapon, I’m sure that guy’s comeback from his anecdotal story would’ve been that the ex-boyfriend came that night and she had to use her gun foe protection and a waiting period for a background check would have caused her to get protection too late. Well, that’s life. I’m sure the person in need of a kidney donation needs it TONIGHT and not NEXT WEEK. But there are organ donation procedure, regulations and restorations. I know it’s not the same, but sometimes someone in a life threatening situation ends up on the short end of the stick so that overall society works for many more people. But the woman (& everybody in a similar position) must take responsibility for her own safety while waiting on the “ok” for her desired gun purchase and training to go through. If you’re worried you need a gun RIGHT NOW, life or death situation, you need to stay with family or a friend or if you have nobody, contact a shelter or the police. Her inability to plan ahead (& I know, I know she might not have known, it’s not her fault, but we can’t make everyone else unsafe just because of this one in a million situation) and realize she might should get a gun before the ex-boyfriend becomes violent should not cause ALL THE REST OF US TO BE UNSAFE BECAUSE IS GETTING BACKGROUND CHECKED.
I KNOW RIGHT ??!!!!!!! WASN'T IT FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC !!!!!!!
They love the one that seems to perfectly illustrate their position yet the thousands that invalidate their position are apparently meaningless hyperbole.
I'd love to hear about the drag show that killed a child or multiple children.
One interesting thing I pulled is that deadbeat dads shouldn't have guns. Can't be responsible for your kids then no guns for you.
Jon is SUCH A GOOD debate participant. He is walking this guy in a circle in such an artful way. Even though he’s angry. It makes me tear up every time I watch him do this. It’s a MASTERCLASS.
A masterclass of spewing bullshit
This wasnt a debate, this is what journalism is
@@Loots1 I mean weird semantics but okay
@@Loots1 If "journalism" means "bias" and "agenda" then sure, it was journalism.
@@OfficialFinalGirl what i said isnt a form of being pedantic, he is holding truth to power, this by definition thats what journalism is, its not a debate, read a book sometime please
this is an absolute master class in dissecting and dispelling any of the repeated and parroted arguments that politicians use to vote against gun control laws. I would have more respect for the man if he just came out and said he was taking donations from the gun lobby
OMG John. Please keep doing this. You're really the only one that's talking to them to their face like this and calling out their BS.
You know for a fact that, after this absolute curb stomping, the likelihood of another conservative visiting John is near zero.
@@Mr.Joyless I agree but their over inflated egos might compel them to try their luck with Jon. I have to say I thought it was commendable that this guy stayed for the pummeling..
@@Mr.Joyless what makes you think republicunts do research?
@@Mr.Joyless it's not the first curb stomp, so to speak. He's interviewed them before and I'm sure it will continue
@@endertwk It’s just too bad it’ll never be big names like Ted Cruz because Ted's smart enough to know he’d get absolutely destroyed
The way he connected his gun control argument to free speech to drag show performers and back to gun control to prove his original point of protecting children was pretty dam impressive
Quite impressive mental gymnastics going on here indeed
Can you explain to me how making gun ownership more difficult for LEGAL gun owners is gonna make things safer, when such restrictions don't stop criminals from preying on innocent law-abiding citizens?
So you're good with kids attending drags shows?
@@ericheick7044 are you good with kids getting killed by mentally ill people with guns?
@@ericheick7044 there is family friendly drag kids can see. No drag queen in story hour is doing anything nsfw. If they are, they are an outlier and show be fired. The idea that all drag is inherently sexual is just absolute nonsense
Jon is SO the man! He recently said that he doesn't like doing these types of interviews which is a shame because NOBODY does them better. Thank you so very much, Jon.
Imagine it takes a great deal of restraint to trap and bait these people rather than yell at their idiocy in the moment.
I can see why. Sitting across from a man in desperate need of a fist in his face can't be an easy thing to do.
Good job John; I never seen your interviews except when you went to Capitol Hill to advocate for veterans.
Jon is the "reluctant hero" type. 🙂
Whats frustrating is actual journalists should be doing these types of interviews, not comedians. Every interviewer should be holding the individual they are giving a platform to, to the facts, and giving them a chance to explain their hypocrisy, and call them the fuck out when they can't
Jon. As someone from the UK you spoke the absolute truth about the way the 2nd amendment is interpreted by some American politicians. Well said, sir. The politician from Oklahoma had no idea or answer to your sensible argument about guns. Thank God our politicians were made to have severe gun laws after Dunblane . UK isn't perfect in regards guns or knives, but I'm glad I live in UK and not the US. The American people deserve better.🇬🇧
🙄
Him avoid saying “register” during Jon’s voting argument was as hilarious as it was shameless
Like Adele looking everywhere but the camera
I fucking died
He didn’t avoid it, he literally didn’t know the answer. Big difference.
That was brutal. Poor okie got his head taken off
@CuReD_bacon I think for a politician to not know that people have to register to vote is worse than dodging the question.
The saddest thing about this is it's the difference between a man with principals and firm beliefs vs a man with no principals and no ability to self reflect. These types of people never change their mind or ever consider they may be wrong.
You're giving them too much credit.
This guy is even stupider than that Arkansas attorney general that Jon interviewed a while back.
It's because he's a salesperson for guns. He's not a public servant, he's a Smith & Wesson employee.
I've come to that conclusion too, the total lack of self reflection seems like it's something a lot of conservatives really struggle with. These people have labrador retriever levels of confidence about every one of their opinions. Not to mention almost every right wing talking point curated for fox news was created in some think tank and funded by billionaires. I kinda think about it like the Eric Cartman effect, it's a constant state of being loud, smug, disingenuous, hypocritical all rolled into one trait while also projecting all of those things onto the people someone else has decided you shouldn't like, but you refuse to speak to. Oh, and also they are exactly what the dunning krugar effect would be if it was a person.
@@briannicholsgriggs7115 Didn't know that, but it makes sense. I am aware the whole pitch about "They're coming for your guns! They are going to ban guns!" is a sales pitch to get scared paranoid people to buy more guns.
Thanks for saying the quiet part out loud, Jon. These folks really don't give a flying f*ck about people, just their pockets and staying in power by any and all means necessary.
Jon Stewart is a racist...He has no credibility
we got us a winner!
...at THE COST OF
OUR CHILDREN'S LIVES
& OUR OWN LIVES !!!
We are all just targets to them....they dont give a shit about the kids or us....as long as they can profit from our deaths
Yes this senator only wants people to be worried about the smallest things instead of actual big issues for attention. There are people who are like that politician on the internet and they get away with that.
Love you, John Stewart!! Corporate media take note.
A truly stunning masterclass of argumentation. Never stop, Jon.
“This is not an anecdote. This actually happened”
I cannot breathe.
Idiot right winger doesn't know what an anecdote is.

@@leahstewart3559 Yeah he totally thinks it's a fictional story...a tale of some sort. Man. That is embarrassing.
@@leahstewart3559 Also, what does he think "infringement" is? lol
Jon's pivot to voting laws is MASTERFUL!
Honestly beautiful
YES! And getting him to walk right into it when he brought up drag shows. Chef’s kiss! So perfect.
He navigated the whole conversation beautifully. A master class in informal debate.
That shits gonna be everywhere on the Internet no Second Amendment nut is going to be able to defend against that shit
He's still wrong, registering to vote is not the same as registering firearms, it's not comparable. Actually look up these stats he's using and actually scrutinize them, you'll realize how misleading he is intentionally being. 50,000 deaths a year, 54% is suicides 33% of murders is 17-35 year old black males, that's also where you get those "child" deaths from. Just actually look at the numbers from the CDC, ATF and other organizations. The answer is there if you aren't too lazy to find it.
Jon....THANK YOU for speaking TRUTH to POWER!
WOW. A thumbs up is worthless here. This interview deserves a standing ovation. Damn Jon, this was a masterpiece. My hats off to you good sir!
Outwitting a half-wit state senator that hardly anyone ever heard of is a "masterpiece"?

So you agree that dragshows kills more children then guns?
It deserves money.
Nathan Dahm did a bad job arguing for the liberty side of this equation, especially when John asked why he was against police having easier jobs (that was a BS argument, police shouldn't have easy jobs), but I'd seriously pay a monthly subscription to a media outlet that took this kind of calm antagonistic approach to interviews with politicians. We'd end up with better politicians and better informed citizens at the end of it.
@@that_heretic Colion Noir easily blew Jon Stewart out of the water with his reply. The senator was not very knowledgeable.
His refusal to say "register" is the best proof of cognitive dissonance I have ever seen.
@Nicholas L Would childish be better?
@Nicholas L yes
@Nicholas L literally refusing to admit he’s wrong lmao
@Nicholas L Dude you are not saying anything
@@nicholas_l of course he refuses to say it out of either cognitive dissonance or strategic reasons. However, neither of those two justify it. A public official lying, or refusing to admit the truth, isn't okay because it's strategic or cognitive dissonance. So quit justifying his unethical behavior simply because it's, perhaps, "strategic'. That doesn't make his policy stances here logical or ethical to his responsibility and sworn oath to serve the public - not himself. Your attempted justification simply further reinforces the self-serving, unethical behavior he's demonstrating that is being highlighted here. Simply put, you aren't helping his case with that self-serving reasoning like you think you are. You're also skewing the point here. The issue being pointed out here is the logic, or lack thereof, behind his policy stances, not his behavioral reasoning for his lying that you are deflecting toward. Whether it because he refuses to accept reality, or because he refuses to admit it for strategic purposes, he's still ignoring reality.
Three qualities of Jon Stewart I admire.
1. Sticks to facts
2. Quick wit
3. Ability to remain calm
Bonus reason: he’s a genuinely good man and a true intellectual. An intellectual to me is someone who is guided by truth and facts rather than ideology and partisanship.
Very glad someone else appreciates his calm demeanor. I was especially impressed with that because you can see in how his hand starts trembling a bit there at the end that he is *seething*. But he didn't let it faze him.
He is *absolutely* driven by ideology
@@bidmcms3 if the idea is not letting kids get shot while they try to better their lives then I'm all for it
@@betterknow1591 Wyatt Cenac might disagree with you about his 'calm demeanor'. I like Jon Stewart, but he's not an angel.
@@bidmcms3 of not having children slaughtered? I subscribe to that “ideology”. The word you are struggling for is actually “ethics”.
Jon gives an example of how an argument falls apart when it’s challenged by reason and reality. Good job.
Especially if you cut and paste the interview
@@ohenrysservicesjeep233 Didnt have to, the republican is making dipshit arguments like all republicans do. Never met an intelligent right winger and never will.
@@ohenrysservicesjeep233 edited or not, his points outweighed any point the senator tried making. nice try but if thats your argument, then youre clearly too stupid to reason with,
Logic and facts don't matter to Republicans when discussing the Second Amendment.
Pretty easy when the ine he is interviewing dies not even have enough basic knowledge to counter.
We love the fact so many are calling this a master piece of an interview. Someone knowledgeable on actual stats would have called BS on Jon Stewart right away. His numbers were incorrect and true 2nd amendment supporters know this.
Jon Stewart had this discussion with someone who actually does not represent the people .
He did not speak for the everyday person who is a lawful firearm owner.
Because we all have seen what happens when they actually do have a sit down with someone who actually knows stats and is well versed. That is when you all get frustrated and start changing topics and yourselves get flustered.
While you are all sitting there bragging about this interview. We just added 4 times more new firearm owners.
And remember . States are changing their stance. Constitutional carry is spreading. Mainly because the numbers you all keep throwing together are actually not supported..
Throwing gang related into the firearm stats when it is suppose to be against the 2nd amendment. So why not actually break those numbers down before calling this a win? We all know you wont. It doesn't support your narrative.
Heck even the FBI and CDC when looking in not the correct stats saw what we here on the 2nd amendment side have said all along.
Some of us laughed at this interview. Because the true fact is when you are walking the streets of Chicago or NY . It is not a legally owned firearm you will see flash before your eyes. That is a real criminal with a real illegally obtained firearm who is about to add to your over bloated misrepresented stats.
And if any if you were honest you would admit this.
Holy fcuking cow!!!
Wow! Just wow!
Jon Stewart just took this guy to school.
Jon Stewart needs to be a politician.
Incredible 🇺🇸
That pivot from banning Drag shows to making him admit that the leading cause of death in children is guns was masterful. I can't get over how intelligent John is and how good he is at these conversations.
You can tell right after the senator was about to explain why he knew me walked right into it.
You can’t argue with stupid
@@deonb2331 100%. It was magical.
It's Jon, not John. ☺
Jon Stewart is a racist..He has no credibility
“No I’m not gonna say it, like it’s an opinion. That’s what it is. It’s firearms. More than cancer, more than car wrecks.” LOVED the way he said that.
@Tactical Wendigo not for children.
@Tactical Wendigo He clearly said for children.

@Tactical Wendigo bot just replying to comments and didnt actually watch the video.
Lack of discipline
The best part about John's preparation is how he finds out all of the positions held by the guest in order to accurately point out hypocrisy, while not letting the guest lie.
Yup! Like Journalists are supposed to do!
@@Lonsoleil Or just regular interviewers, of which Jon is one.
Exactly! And these people spend all their time in a bubble where everyone tells them how right they are, etc. Then they hit the real world and get their balls shoved right down their throats....I love it.
What I want to know is WHY on earth doesn’t EVERY reporter grab these slippery grifters by the hair (metaphorically. although it would be more fun literally) and just keep repeating the question they just deflected until they get an answer?
I have watched this happen countless times in the trump cult era. A reporter asks a question & they redirect & deflect, so the reporter chases the deflection or moves on to the next question as if the goal here was quantity over quality?
Also, if it is a bunch of reporters, why doesn’t the next one say “You haven’t answered this question yet” and stay on it instead of trying to get THEIR question asked? It helps them weasel out of giving any actual answers by changing the topic they are trying to avoid.
Then the next one asks it.
Then the next one until they find an elevator & dive into it like it was a storm shelter & a tornado is coming.
na its just pick someone who isn't good at debating and doesn't have well rehearsed arguments and set up gotcha moments along with premeditated set up questions as bait.
Like over 50% of gun deaths are suicides, Just leave that out because then its not as shocking when they aren't all murders.
Or that the majority of mass shooters did or would have passed a background check.
Or gang violence accounts for a large majority of shootings, so registration, background checks or any other legal obstacles are irrelevant.
Amen Jon! Hypocrisy at the highest level.
I'm blown away by this interview. This was a tour deforce of clarity and accountability. Way to go, Jon! I think people are going to be thinking about this interview for a long time.
I just figured it out...
This idiot thinks that how "more guns will make us safe" is because the more guns, THE LOWER THE DEATHS / GUN ratio.
The 5th time I listened, I finally caught that he is saying exactly that: "more guns equals less statistical death."
Jon is running a master class in debate here
I’d like to see him devour Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro
@@Btx931probably Shapiro, who would at least know the debate pretty well, unlike this Senator.
@Lincoln School Preservation that ship has sailed, too much money in it now for it ever to happen
I've been saying this ever since Jon's return. We needed this man before, we need him now, and we can't thank him and his staff enough for the work they do. Thank you Jon, thank you everyone that works with Jon, and thank you to the viewers/supporters for keeping this momentum going.
I liked Jon better before he became and angry old man. Sen Dahm was actually pretty, calm, cogent and logical. Jon didn't destroy anyone in that interview, so much as he showed himself getting unhinged. i don't agree with Sen Dahm and i think that he might able to be persuaded to change, but telling someone that they don't give a "flying fuck" about children isn't the way. Gin enthusiasts are going to leave this interview thinking that Dahm successfully defended their ideology.
Definately missed him during the Drumpf years, but I get it. Glad he back.
When he starts going after Big Pharma, he'll have my full respect!
We need him on the major channels doing this, not on some streaming service. These conversations are being missed by the majority of society and that is tragic. Seeing these politicians put under the gun about actual issues the country faces is incredibly telling of how unqualified they are to lead anyone. This politician can no longer claim to be pro life, because he clearly is not. That's just a fact, from his own damn mouth.

As an Oklahoman, this made me sad to watch. Thank you for not letting him off the hook!

Jon Stewart, keep doing what you do. You’re not afraid to stand up to guys like this. You have a platform that nobody else does. Keep bringing it
Never stop doing what you do, Mr. Stewart.
Watching Jon take it to this man and not let him weasel his way around the issue deserves so much more than a thumb's up.
Completely agree. Thank you John!
The fact that a comedian is the one confronting him and not a "real" news person is disheartening.
100% agree. If only the politicians in our government had the spine to force their colleagues to stay on point and answer questions, instead of talking in circles and avoiding it.
Many a journalist could learn what it means to hold someone's feet to the fire watching this.
Jon could, and maybe should, be POTUS. He needs to put his hat in the ring, somewhere. It isn't fair or right that goofs like fuckface there weild power, and righteous and witty men like Jon pointlessly snipe at them for entertainment.
The people who need to see this aren't watching. I'd donate my left nut to see Jon take on Trump or Desanctimonious in a presidential debate. Or Biden/whoever. This man was born for politics and as much as I love him, as he is, he needs to run for office asap.
This right here is what journalism is supposed to be about.
Learn your subject. Let them dig their own hole. Beat them with their own words.
Nice work, Jon. Nice work!
God, I love Jon Stewart. His questions are so pointed and sensible. A really intelligent man.
Jon is very articulate in his argument even when he’s visibly upset. I absolutely admire that. I would have become a rambling mess a long time ago trying to keep up with these mental gymnastics.
The fact that you would've become a rambling mess only proves your emotional immaturity. It's easy to argue your side of an argument as long as you don't let your emotions get in the way.
I see what you mean: Stewart is using logic, trying to have a discussion at eye level, and this hillbilly responds with some off-topic distraction or what-aboutism that's down at the ankles. Stewart's patience with this guy's incoherence, INCONSISTENTCIES, and bs is impressive.
I thought the very same thing.
@@Breaker2005 Becoming angry or annoyed at someone who keeps repeating illogical and factually incorrect arguments and who is actively contributing to gun deaths is not proof of emotional immaturity, it's proof you actually have emotions.
This is always my problem. I get too mad at the gun-nuts and dismiss them. I should memorize this entire discussion for future reference.
This was brilliant. it only sucks that the people who probably need to see this won't.
Honestly, you could show them this video a thousand times, they will not care. They've made their life decision on who they hate and absolutely nothing will stop them in making laws to make the lives on those people tougher. And as for the children they claim to care about, if Sandy Hook didn't move the needle for them, absolutely nothing will. They are just evil beyond repair.

“What do you have to do to vote?” While he is mouthing “REGISTER” 😂😂😂😂😂
This interview is simply a work of art.
“that is HYPOCRISY, at it’s highest order”. Gotta love John Stewart.
stewart was the only hypocrite i see in that video
@@SD-nj1cy what??? care to elaborate
@Chris Cleff They never do, they know nothing but "no, you" statements, projection, and repeated, easily debunkee rhetoric, changing their mind is fruitless
(e) He uses a number (50k) he pulled out his ass. There is no FBI unified crime report because they are always 3 years behind, but we can take leftist news papers accounts. they put the number at 40k. Stewart, being the liar he is keeps saying "gun deaths". He doesnt say murders. Those same news papers put the number of numbers at 10k. The rest are justifiable homicides(cops and justified self defense) and suicide which makes up over 50% of ALL gun deaths).
(f) he's making a point more guns = more death but doesnt bother to take into account how many times people used a gun in self defense, WHICH IS THE ASSERTION OF THE CONGRESSMAN. More guns = people safer. The CDC says put use a gun in self defense (they dont even have to shoot to be included) between 500,000 and 3million times PER YEAR. Stewarts entire thesis is a straw man. How many of those defensive uses of a gun would have resulted in those people being murdered? Cops dont carry guns because it makes them less safe. The more people who have a gun for self defense, the more lives will be saved.
(g) He claims theres no background checks. Stewarts smart and I'm sure he has a research staff. Theres no way he isnt aware that EVERY NEW gun as well as used gun that is sold through a FFL, including at gun shows, by federal law MUST go through a background check. The ATF monitors that very closely.
(h)I'm pro 2a, but you must have a permit!. What other right do you need a permit for? You need to register! 1st off, every gun (the overwhelming major) that goes through a background check, the government illegally keeps as a de facto gun registry). Registration leads to confiscation. Pistol brace is a perfect example. Something thats been 100% legal for over 10 years all of a sudden by fiat been declared illegal by unelected bureaucrats by making declaring they are magically rifles. So before such time as the lawsuits work they're way through the courts the alphabet boys are at your door because they know exactly what you have and where you live. The government, on a whim can make something out of whole cloth, like the bump stock. A piece of plastic the decided was a machine gun. After the law suit, it went back to not being a machine gun. So the gov shows up and confiscates and when the lawsuit is won, the gov says "gee, really sorry we destroyed all of those.
(i) How do you know who has a problem is you dont know who you're giving a gun to. Its called living in a free[?] society. Innocent until PROVEN guilty. Criminals dont buy guns legally, they're criminals. A background check catches felons and those adjudicated mentally defective (again, goes back to anti 2a lie theres no BGC, which stewart is a part of). Anyone else, if they have a restraining order or whatever, they're breaking the law by buying a gun when they shouldnt. Theres no pre-cog crime like minority report. like anyone. You can only catch someone after they committed a crime with the gun. Stewart would have the audience believe if someone has a order of protection and is murderer the cops would be stumped and not have a gun who would have shot them
(j)Chaos instead of order. uh, what?!?!?!? It IS his subjected opinion. Jesus! Is there total anarchy in his state? Are the streets running red with blood? Has government service cease to function? Stewart saying he's bringing chaos is 100% bullshit. And he knows it. His definition of chaos is allowing people to do person to person transfers of guns without government intervention (no BGC). Thats been going on since forever. There has never been a federal law requiring BGC between private individuals. If there hasnt been chaos yet, anything the politician is doing to keep the status quo wont bring chaos.
(k)Stewart claims its about saying lives, but he give zero fucks about way more dead people, he only care that people dont die from guns.
(L) makes it less safe for cops on a DV call. Great so cops know theres a person with a gun who is now so agitated they hit someone, or whatever the case may be. What does he think the cops are going to do. Come in blasting, come in With weapons drawn. We know how thing work out for people when cops are involved and their guns are out. slightest movement and cops shoot 1st ask questions later. How does that reduce gun deaths (the number stewart uses includes people smoked by cops). He also throws in a straw man about why dont cops feel safer if theres more guns in the house. Thats not premise of more guns make us safer. When seconds count, cops are minutes away. Guns make people safer because self defense/preservation is our job. VERY RARELY are cops around to save someones life. Cops write reports after the fact. Again, 500k-3mil defensive use of guns by citizens
(M) voting rights. No where in the constitution does it say we have the right to vote. The word doesnt appear in the constitution until the 14a. The constitution was amended 4 more time dealing with the subject of voting but it doesnt say anything about it being a right, unlike the 2a which clearly states its a right to bear arms. SCOTUS did rule voting was a right, but scotus can issue a different opinion in a case that could say it isnt a right.
Jon is one of the smartest people in the country. His work is amazing and inspiring.
Now, this was a masterclass in interviewing and maintaining control of the conversation. I love the way Jon was able to call it out every time Dahm started trying to deflect and change the subject. Jon did not let him get away with that for a second! What a pro.
This senator had some guts to come on this show as well. But Jon's been away from tv too long and people forget how good he is with holding folks to their position.
@@gracea33 The Senator is confident that none of the people who voted for him will see this and any who do will simply choose not to believe it. He's there to represent gun culture and affirm their beliefs and that he's one of them. They'll attempt to paint this as a win for him.

The senator's job depends on him repeating this stupid shit. He will never change his mind. He'd be out of a job. The only thing he cares about is pleasing the people who voted him in.
Also, I'm not sure that this Senator actually believes this, because, as Jon showed him, his arguments are completely nonsensical. I think the debate with these gun nuts would end faster if the first question was "have you taken money from the NRA or any gun manufacturing lobby?" If the answer is yes, you know their "arguments" are actually paid for. That's why they don't hold up in an honest debate.

What an epic closing. Stick it in and break it off, Jon. We need these no BS conversations more often with those who'd dare sit across from you.
I love it when Jon makes him repeat the phrase, "the government has a responsibility to protect..."
Great "Gotcha" Moment
Looks like we should ban abortions then as that is the real leading cause of death for children in the US.
Or maybe just make all women register for an abortion so the government can track them.
The government has a duty to protect society as a whole but not the individual. And watching the lawlessness in blue cities the government isn’t even performing that duty very well.
nothing i love more than the ability to defend myself and not depend on government for that
Woooooo!!!! Let's Gooooo John Stewart!!!!! Thank You Sir, For Everything That You Do for Our Country!!!! U Are An American Treasure!!!!
The way Dan treated the word “register” like a live grenade about to blow😂
These interviews can be really difficult for the interviewer -- you're cross-examining someone with no idea what they are going to say, and it is so hard to be able to work on the fly like that. Jon has shown again that he may be one of the best in the world at this, and it makes me genuinely emotional to watch.
Jon knew exactly what that fucker was going to say.
Hint: It's not the least bit difficult for someone whose stances and opinions are informed by facts and evidence.
@@johngalt2910 Jon Stewart makes it look it easy, but doesn't mean that it doesn't take a toll on him.
The last minute of this clip you can see his hands shaking a bit; his voice and demeanor became charged with sentiment, as his arguments about protecting the life of children were met with petty semantic concerns. Look, I don't think Jon cares about getting those "gotcha" moments, where he dismantles his opposition with facts and logic, coming forth as victorious or whatever. He truly and deeply cares about these issues and he abhors the lies and hypocrisy spewed by the people in power, so when he faces these individuals head on (like in this interview and many other throughout his career), he must feel great burden and responsibility. It all comes from a place of empathy, that's why it weights on him: is not about vanity or egotistical desire to have the argumentative upperhand, but rather to give a voice and bring forth issues that cause human suffering.
I think Jon even mentions in the last episode of the podcast, where the producers and staff talked about how great these new interviews were, that he didn't enjoy making them. It's easy to understand why that is the case when you realize he approaches his job from a place of empathy.
To be fair a good debater will prepare different ways an argument will flow to have prepared counter arguments. Sometimes is easy as a lot of people follow a publicly shared course of arguing. You know that if they say A they are likely that they’ll say B. Which is exactly what he did with the segways at the end between gun rights voting rights and the drag stuff.
It's really not that hard. Most of the media makes money off of not pushing back. It's not because it's hard. It's because they get paid by capitalists to avoid holding liars accountable.
Holy sh*t. That ending.... Jon just mopped the floor with that Senator.

Thank you, Jon Stewart.
You are our voice.
Please don’t stop.
Voice of stupidity
Ok, so let's take a look at Stewart's arguments.
1. As a preliminary note, I hate how Stewart cuts him off constantly. The game he plays is clear here, so I'm not sure why anyone agrees to these. He's good at what he does, but it's not really a fair format.
2. Out of the gates with "well regulated". First off, that meant something entirely different in the 18th century, and secondly, as Dahm notes, the militia is "well regulated", not the uninfringeable right of the people.
3. "I don't want to ban guns". I'd be shocked if Stewart doesn't support things like AWBs, which literally are bans of some of the most popular guns.
4. Stewart argues more guns equal more gun deaths, using a common tactic of conflating suicides and homicides. On a state by state level, gun ownership rates are not correlated with homicide rate or even gun homicide rate. He keeps repeating this 50,000 gun death figure without every clarifying more than half are suicides. Wish Dahm pointed this out, but to be fair, Stewart kept cutting him off.
5. Stewart implies that the state got rid of background checks. That's not true, you still need a background check if you buy from an FFL, as required by federal law. And he also conflates constitutional carry here, but again, that doesn't make it legal for you to carry if you are prohibited from owning guns.
6. Stewart laughs at the idea that fatherlessness is an issue, when it's one of the biggest predictors of crime.
7. Again, I'm having trouble squaring Stewart's criticisms with his opening statement that he isn't against guns. You sure John? Because your argument that cops would be safer if nobody had guns at places where cops were called to sounds pretty anti-gun. We obviously can't know ahead of time which house police will be called to. Sometimes guns there may be a problem, other times not.
8. "Police" don't uniformly say they want registration, a few big city PDs do. The antigun side is happy to cite police when they agree with them, but ignore the many times they don't. Not that the police are the experts on our rights. Stewart would never defer to cops on other constitutional rights, like protections against unreasonable search and seizure.
9. Wow, he brings up microstamping. Everytown definitely briefed him on what to say. So for those that don't know, that technology only exists in a lab setting. Even if it were a reality, all it would take for criminals to defeat it is:
- Use a revolver which doesn't eject casings.
- File down or replace the firing pin to get rid of the stamp identifying you.
- Use a stolen gun, which is what most criminals do.
And he says cops support microstamping, when we just had a declaration in our state signed by PORAC, the biggest police org in the state, opposing it.
10. Part of the reason we vehemently oppose registries is because other countries that did them use them as confiscation lists later on. And given that the gun control side loves to cite Australia and Canada, who did exactly that....
11. Everytime they bash southern states for constitutional carry, it's worth pointing out that these high crime rates existed in the south well before constitutional carry. Of course, Stewart won't go talk to a pro-gun State Senator from low-crime constitutional carry states like Idaho, Utah, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, etc.
12. He compares voter registration to gun registration, but omits that several of the gun control states make gun ownership WAY harder than registering to vote. If a Republican state made voter registration the exact same process as buying a gun in CA, they'd be screaming bloody murder. So sure, Stewart got his "gotcha" I guess, but he doesn't actually want a gun registration system as easy as voter registration.
As a final reminder: The full interview w/ Jon was over 90 min long, but it was edited down to this measly eight minute clip. Why? Because Jon Stewart is a coward incel who has to hide behind grifter-level editing in order to fool his audience. Jon Stewart, if you're reading this: Cope. Seethe. Dilate. Mald. You lose.

@@jimmy_xi9342 ok now you tell me which parts were lies, gaslighting etc. Put a timestamp on them.
All you did was say a bunch of words without substantiating anything.
@@HISHAM931Okay, let me substanstiate then. Here we go-
1) Jon believes the term "well regulated" in the 2nd amendment means controlled or supervised by the government. In the late 18th century when the 2nd amendment was written, the term well regulated meant well organized or properly functioning and not what Jon thinks it means. It certainly did not mean that the state should b controlling the militias.
(Source: Jack Norman Rakove, American historian, author and professor at Stanford University and Pulitzer Prize winner)
2) Jon says he isn't against the 2nd amendment and he doesn't wanna ban guns. But just a few moments ago he misinterpreted the phrase "well regulated" which is a collective rights argument often made by people who don't believe there's an individual right to own firearms. U can look up collective rights theory if u wanna go into details of it.
The Supreme court in 2008 District of Columbia v. Heller ruled that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects an individual's right to keep and bear arms-unconnected with service in a militia.
3) Another slight of hand Jon does here is that he uses gun deaths and not gun homicides. Gun deaths also include suicides and accidents. He intentionally uses gun deaths to pad up the numbers for adding more weight to his argument. It's not that these deaths don't matter but using them in a gun violence conversation is deceitful to say the least.
4) He talks about background checks but we already have those in place. Straw purchases r already illegal.
What they r asking for is universal background checks.
Its a well intended idea but the problem with it is that it's completely useless without a federal searchable database to check against i.e national gun registry. He draws a false equivalecy between voting and gun registration.
Gun registration doesn't act as a deterrent to crime or mass shootings. It only tells the government who the gun is registered to.
But I have to agree that gun registration isn't completely useless. It can definitely aid the government at the time of confiscating firearms as we saw in Australia,Nazi Germany,UK,China,South Africa,New Zealand to name a few. In all these places gun registration was brought in for "safety and to reduce crime/violence".
5) The leading cause of death among "children" in this country is firearms.
If u categorize 17,18 and 19 year olds engaging in gang violence as "children", then it's absolutely true🙄
What an abomination of a study this! It has been debunked so many times but idiots like Jon Stewart keep peddling the same bs over and over again. Unfortunately, dumb senators like these fail to call him out.
This is just from the first half of the video. Pay attention, may b could identify a few more by urself.
We sure as hell don't deserve Jon Stewart but I'm glad we have him because we need him
More than ever as time goes on it seems.
I guarantee you he doesn’t feel the same way about Israelis owning guns.
primus sucks :)
Jon - That was awesome! Very well said!!
Why are more news organizations NOT LIKE THIS?!?!?! John you are a national treasure!
John is great. But there is, they are called TYT. The Young Turks they do a great job at calling out the bs in politics.
fear of being called bias by bad faith conservatives.
Profitability, propaganda, and the preservation of the status quo, of course! [insert valet from Ferris Buehler meme] "Just what country do you think this is?"
@@validatedclassified2564 yes very well said
They are worried they'll stop showing up to interviews, also corporations love fascism
This is possibly the greatest interview you've done, Jon. And I've loved so many of your interviews. Just wow.
A #MasterClass to all journalists! 🤯
Idk the Attorneys General of Arkansas one was better in my opinion. He made her cry and they edited it out lmao.
Long live the king
Nathan Dahm is a moron even by 2A standards.
@@elihenley6982 I agree the Attorney General of Arkansas interview was a masterclass. She was horribly unprepared, and, and, most of not all of her argument feel to pieces with simple followup questions that required her to respond.
I have never seen a right-wing politician been so humiliated by a logical skilled debater as Steward.
One of Jon's best interview body slams. And he's done a lot over the years so that's saying a lot. Love ya Jon
His ‘monkey’ interview on Fox with Tucker the nutter was his best imho 😂
I gotta say I've never seen a more one-sided interview in my life, this dude got fucking eviscerated
Maybe John could grill Fauci
The interview was like boxing match where one boxer told the other boxer, "Hey, make me look like I'm winning. I'll throw the punches but you can't hit me back". 🤣
My next favorite is the Tucker Carlson one years ago. He needs to revisit that again, but I doubt Tucker would agree.
That bit about how shouldn’t the police breathe a sigh of relief knowing there’s a bunch of guns at the scene of a domestic dispute was perfect.
Exactly this. Conservatives claim they care about police. All the Blue Lives Matter BS, but the number one thing they could do to save lives is restrict guns and they won't do it. They are hypocrites and liars, but I have to give credit to this guy for agreeing to an interview with Jon Stewart... my man have you not seen vintage clips of the Daily Show? Did he not go in knowing Jon is going to destroy him? lololololololol
That's why its wierd red states are wanting constitutional carry, which is HIGHLY opposed by police, but they say they love cops.
@@taylorstout4939 They love cops, but they love their guns more.
Except -- the cops never know about the guns criminals have, ever. and they are the ones committing the crimes.
@@honkbob if we tracked guns when they were bought we would
I love Stewart's ability to laugh in people's faces, without outright laughing in people's faces.
I love Jon’s cheek twitch right after senator says the real problem is the fatherlessness crisis 2:53 … you can see how much effort Jon’s putting into keeping it together.
This county needs Jon Stewart.
he's a good comedian, the problem is that he doesn't ACTUALLY know what he's talking about. in places where concealed carry is legal, crime goes down. in places where its not, crime goes up. every mass shooting took place in a gun free zone. the 50,000 gun deaths he cites, more than half of those are suicides. You are more likely to die falling in your bathtub than be murdered by a person with a gun.
He's a propagandist but he's the propagandist you want to believe.
@@clairelyn4405 i have replayed that part 5 times now it’s officially my favourite thing ever😂😂😂 he’s like okay?
@@clairelyn4405 Tranquil fury is always amazing to witness in practice.
This is why people in power are so set on dismantling education that teaches children how to think and evaluate critically. They don't want eventual adult constituents who can think and evaluate critically, nor adults who have an understanding of accurate history.
Bingo!
@@ibnkhaldoun4319 🙄
Funny you say that considering anyone with critical thinking skills would immediately question how many of those guns were illegally owned.
Abortion is the number one killer of children. Jon lies. Also shooting anyone and everyone is against the law. Including kids. It's the democrats who think having pervert men dress as women and exploit and rape children. This senator is trying to stop this. But Jon Stewart is fighting for the right of freak adults to have intercourse with children.
@@bot_Est1989 🙄🙄 This is most absurd response in this thread. gun lobbies and this advocate lobby to prevent meaningful statistics you claim as fact!
Also are you saying you advocate news laws that would go to people's home and seize guns for people 'illegally' owning firearms once we gather and register owners so we can tell who is illegal, and who is not? You are an advocate in increasing red flag laws and enforcing and requiring all sellers not just stores in adhering to these laws?
🙄🙄You can't make up a claim, with no study supporting it, because such data has been actively blocked by the NRA very effectively thanks to their lobbying efforts. So this made-up data you are quoting ....that doesn't exist, is your centerpiece to your claim that you are thinking critically?. 🙄
"This isn't an anecdote. This is something that really happened."
Came here for this. "This isn't a saltwater fish. It came from the sea."
Insanely stupid human being in charge of a bunch of people's lives. Yay america
I was hoping someone else noticed that he didn’t know what an anecdote is.
@@dominicsforza9703yeah he thought it meant hypothetical
Yeah that was when I realised that he didn't know the meaning of anecdote. He clearly thinks it means "made up".
"The government has a responsibilty to protect children"
my jaw dropped
except they don't, if they did we would have a secret service or capital police agent at every school in America, most on the Left dont even want a school resource officer.
and he had the audacity to repeat it 😂😂😂😂
@@redhdslvt But the second time he added "in certain instances" because he knew he was caught... What a hypocrite and coward.
Goddamn
The fucking hypocrisy.
