Keywords

💡satire

Satire refers to the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices. In the video, John Stewart and The Daily Show are presented as using satire and mockery to criticize and make fun of American politics and media. For example, the video says "by not taking both politicians and Talking Heads seriously and by making a mockery of the entire charade that is American politics, John Stewart really stood out". The satirical nature of the show is a core part of its identity and impact.

💡hypocrisy

Hypocrisy refers to a situation where someone's actions contradict their claimed beliefs or values. The video suggests there is hypocrisy in how journalists criticized Trump extensively while being much softer on Biden despite both having cognitive issues, with the line "once the idiot running the country in the blue tie replaced the idiot running the country in the red tie, everyone seemed to change their analysis". This highlights the show's mission to expose potential media bias or contradictions.

💡asymmetrical conflict

This refers to a conflict between opponents with vastly different levels of power and resources. The video uses it to describe the mismatch between Israel and Gaza's military capabilities, saying "nothing sums up the asymmetrical nature of this conflict more" than comparing the correspondents reporting from each area. This imagery criticizes the lack of context around the conflict in mainstream news.

💡scapegoat

A scapegoat is someone unfairly blamed for the problems of others. The video argues Trump was a "guilty scapegoat" who media unfairly blamed for broader systemic issues with American capitalism that presidents before him also perpetuated. Using him as a distraction allowed failing to address real societal problems.

💡anti-establishment

This refers to ideas or positions that oppose established powers structures like the government, media, or major parties. The video praises John Stewart's willingness to criticize both Republicans and Democrats, call out media hypocrisy, and question fundamental assumptions like democracy. This rebellious, anti-establishment approach is a big driver of his appeal.

💡censorship

Censorship is the suppression of speech, writing, art, etc. seen as objectionable. John Stewart suggests Apple TV+ wanted to censor his commentary on controversial topics like China, AI and Israel-Palestine. This presents a barrier to the hard-hitting political satire that made The Daily Show popular originally.

💡corruption

Corruption refers to dishonest, unethical, or illegal acts done for power or money. John Stewart argues the core issue in politics is distinguishing corruption from integrity. He likely sees corruption as widespread in the defense spending he criticized, and in biases that affect media coverage of key issues.

💡oligarchy

An oligarchy is a system ruled by a small number of powerful people. While the US claims to be a democracy, the video questions this by noting things like presidents winning without the popular vote and unelected Supreme Court justices overturning rights. This suggests the country is more like an oligarchy.

💡working class

This refers to people in blue-collar jobs and the lower economic class. The video claims neither political party truly represents the working class, who have suffered more as candidates focus on infighting. Appealing to their interests and highlighting this issue is crucial for Stewart.

💡systemic issues

Systemic issues refer to deep, fundamental problems built into a political, economic or social system itself. The video argues obsessing over Trump distracted from coverage of systemic issues innate to American capitalism that both parties perpetuate. It suggests the system itself needs fixing more than just beating one opponent.

Show hey that's our show one quick thing

I would keep you up to date on any new

information we had about uh the

transition of the program all those

other things uh we do have some specific

information my last Daily Show program

uh will be August the 6th I will be

wearing a suit I will more than likely

be

showered I'm sorry I'll be wearing

overalls and I won't

shower kind of we learned from you by

example how to do a show with intention

how to work with Clarity how to treat

people with respect you are

infuriatingly good at your job okay all

of us who were lucky enough to work with

you for 16 years are better at our jobs

because we got to watch you do yours and

we are better people for having known

you while John Stewart wasn't the

original host of The Daily Show from

1999 to 2015 John Stewart was the host

for 16 of the 27 years the show has been

on air so in essence the show is his

from the moment John Stewart began

hosting the show their satirical

coverage of the news has been

specifically focused on American

politics by not taking both politicians

and Talking Heads seriously and by

making a mockery of the entire charade

that is is American politics John

Stewart really stood out from the

bootlicking mainstream political

commentators everyone was used to as you

know we went to ackq for one reason and

for one reason only now that's what this

fight is about in this part of the world

planting the seeds of democracy that

seed of democracy in Iraq I what about

weapons of mass destruction

or or

911 once those reasons were found to be

unsupported by reality it was about

America

it was about what happens when one

country loves another country very

much that country then deposits his

democracy

seed typically laser

guided into another country's let's say

Fertile

Crescent John Stewart had a thing for

showing up onto other people's shows and

making fun of how seriously they took

themselves all the while the host not

realizing they're talking to a comedian

and not a journalist welcome John

Stewart to the no spin on everyone how

are you sir okay uh you know what's

really

frightening you actually have an

influence on this presidential election

that is that is scary that if that were

so that would be quite it is it's true I

mean you got Stone Slackers watching

your Dopey show every night okay and

they can vote you can't stop them yeah I

just don't know how motivated they would

be these Stone Slackers yeah just

depends if they have to go out that day

what am I a chich and Chong movie Stone

Slackers one of these times was on a

show called Crossfire in 2004 where he

made Tucker Carlson look so goofy he got

fired by CNN shortly thereafter I think

you're a good comedian I think your

lectures are boring let me ask you let

me ask you a question on the news now

this is theater I mean it's it's obvious

how old are you 35 and you wear a bow

tie yeah I do I do so this is no no I

know I know you're right let me just go

no come on and listen I'm not I'm not

suggesting that you're not you're not a

smart guy because those are not easy to

tie but the thing is that this you're

doing theater when you should be doing

debate which would be great you do no

it's honest what you do is not honest

what you do is partisan hackery and his

coverage of Israel's actions in

Palestine was very refreshing to see

coming from someone with such a platform

tonight Israeli tanks are positioned

outside the entrances to Gaza awaiting

orders to invade as the aerial

bombardment from both sides

continues tastes great more killing look

both sides are engaging in aerial

bombardment but one side appears to be

bomb better at it most tamas Rockets are

neutralized by Israel's Iron Dome

technology and Israeli citizens can even

now download a warning app so Israelis

seem to have a high-tech smartphone

alert system how are the gsin notified

basically a small mortar explosion on

the roof of a building which served

serves as an Israeli warning of an

upcoming air strike so the Israeli

military warns Gaza residents of

imminent bombing with a smaller warning

bombing at that point what are gazin

supposed to do the Israeli military

telephoned the neighbor to warn them to

evacuate but they only had three minutes

evacuate to

where have you seen

Gaza it's this Israel blocked this

border Egypt blocked this border perhaps

nothing sums up the asymmetrical nature

of this conflict more than a quick

checkin with the correspondents assigned

to the respective beats tonight we have

the view from the ground on both sides

starting with Martin Fletcher in Tel

Aviv look at this the Gaza reporter

looks like an extra from The Hurt

Locker while the reporter in Israel

looks like he's going to bang out his

standup and then head to a Jimmy Buffett

concert

they're a living political cartoon for

the war in the Middle East but after 16

years on air John Stewart no longer got

the satisfaction the show Once gave him

and respectfully departed from his role

as host of The Daily Show so we are very

pleased to welcome our newest

contributor from South Africa Mr Trevor

Noah Trevor thanks for joining us nice

to see you welcome sir thank you very

much how are you we're we're we're we're

really delighted that you're going to be

uh joining us and I know that you you

flew in I guess uh yesterday from South

Africa I just flew in and boy oh my arms

tired

okay all right there oldie but a goodie

very nice that's no no no seriously uh

I've been holding my arms like this

since I got here yeah and on the exact

same day of his final episode August 6th

of 2015 the most watched non-sporting

event in cable history was aired on CNN

the 2016 Republican party presidential

debate I'm the son of an Irish Italian

mom I brought my own water my story from

secretary to CEO is only possible in

this nation by the way I think I

actually flew on this plane with Ronald

Reagan first of all Rand Paul shouldn't

even be on this stage he wanted casino

gambling in Florida I did want yes you

did one second no I didn't fact you

cannot take more energy tonight I like

that I suggested to President Bush uh

did he not go to war okay so I I just

want that on the record Arab name Arab

name don't worry about me and Hillary

that all work out and I'm from Ohio but

I'm from Ohio white I don't think a more

symbolic transition could have been

written as for the next 4 years and

counting every political commentator

late night host and their mother was

focusing their analysis on one thing and

one thing only orange man bad last night

around 9:00 Trump tweeted d

d dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot do

now don't get me wrong I hate Donald

Trump just as much as the next guy but

believe me when I say Donald Trump was a

scapegoat a guilty scapegoat for sure

but a scapegoat nonetheless why talk

about real problems of Life under

American capitalism when instead we

could focus all our journalistic power

on making fun of a rich scile racist man

running the country news flash every

president is a rich scile racist white

man except for one and he was just half

we

invest uh can can I get some

water I really did need a glass of water

this is not a

stunt you were all there you remember it

seemed like night after night on every

late night show large chunks of time

were dedicated to making fun of the man

himself and not the policies he was

supporting or the bills he was passing

okay so do do your conversations with

foreign leaders touch on any policy

issues you call places like Malaysia

Indonesia and you say you know how many

people do you have and it's pretty

amazing how many people they have the

door to the hotel opens and what is

Donald Trump wearing uh silky pajamas

and they were black pajamas right yeah

so he looks immediately looks like a

Halloween pumpkin or

something and you made love gross what

is wrong with you

I mean I laid there and prayed for

death seemingly every SNL episode had a

skit dedicated to making fun of the man

himself Donald Trump the New York City

billionaire St me this is Michael Cohen

are you

alone yes and what are you

wearing excuse me good eveny America I

am going to be so good

tonight I am going to be so calm and so

presidential that all of you watching

are going to cream your

jeans he even went on Fallon and they

tried to make him look like a nice

guy everybody I'll do it as well now

this isn't me defending Donald Trump by

any means that man is a disgusting human

being who is responsible for the death

of thousands and the suffering of

millions however once the idiot running

the country in the blue tie replaced the

idiot running the country in the red tie

everyone seemed to change their analysis

and all of a sudden he was just trying

his best at least he doesn't have those

dystopian immigration prisons at the

border like Trump

did

yes oh he actually inherited the

immigration prisons and actually made

them a lot worse we don't talk about

that but this one-sided treatment of

corrupt politicians May soon be on the

down curve it's now 2024 and the

election cycle is upon us but the state

of politics here in the United States is

in disrepair the Republican party is

regressing society every day and the

Democratic party is just sitting there

and letting it happen right in front of

their eyes billions of dollars are being

sent across the ocean not to help people

that are being bombed but to bomb people

all the while the president of the

United States can't even remember 8

years ago when he was the vice president

the US President Joe Biden has been

described as quote a well-meaning

elderly man with a poor memory and that

he couldn't remember when he was vice

president that was said by the US

Special Council investigating the

mishandling of classified documents and

right when we needed him the most John

Stewart returned as host and executive

producer of The Daily

Show

thank you

welcome welcome to the Daily Show my

name is John Stewart now where was I um

John Stewart starts off his first

episode back discussing something that

everyone's been thinking but no one in

mainstream media wants to admit 9 months

till the election

people and the exciting part is we

already know our candidates it's drum R

please these

guys while there was plenty bashing of

trump something that comes incredibly

easy to a whole lot of people John

Stewart focused heavily on criticizing

Biden and questioning his ability to

lead a country pinpoint Egypt on a map

as well as his downplaying of Israel's

actions in Gaza over the past 5 months

these two candidates they are both

similarly challenged and it is not crazy

to think that the oldest people in the

history of the country to ever run for

president might have some of these

challenges now Democrats will say that

any criticism like this especially of

Biden is unfair because you just don't

know Biden like they know Biden

President Biden who I've been around uh

numerous times just in this last year is

sharp he's Focus

he's bright he is sharp intensely

probing and detail oriented and focused

by the way uh the response in Gaza has

been over the

top you know I like how Biden describes

Israel's incessant bombing of civilians

the same way my mother talks about the

Super Bowl halftime

show it was a little much he even said

something I was incredibly surprised to

hear something many political pundits on

the left would be too afraid to admit or

simply too brainwashed to even realize

he pointed out that somehow Donald Trump

is the mentally with it candidate of the

two I'm sorry that was the wrong that

was the wrong footage that's the high

functioning

candidate from nine years ago unable to

recall if he has a good memory John

Stewart even went as far as to question

the power of voting the stakes of this

election don't make Donald Trump

opponent less subject to scrutiny it

actually makes him more subject to

scrutiny the next N9 months or so

they're going to suck you're going to

get inated with rooc calls and push

polls and real polls and people are

going to tell you to Rock the vote and

be the vote and vote the vote and

the vote and it's all going

to make you feel like Tuesday November

5th is the only day that matters and

that day does matter but man November 6

ain't nothing to sneeze at or November

7th if your guy Los loses bad things

might happen but the country is not over

and if your guy wins the country is in

no way saved I've learned one thing over

these last nine years and I was glib at

best and probably dismissive at worst

about this the work of making this world

resemble one that you would prefer to

live in is a lunch

paale job day in and day out where

thousands of committed Anonymous smart

and dedicated people

bang on closed doors and pick up those

that are fallen and grind away on issues

till they get a positive result and even

then have to stay on to make sure that

result holds so the good news is I'm not

saying you don't have to worry about who

wins the election I'm saying you have to

worry about every day before it and

every day after forever to nobody's

surprise liberals and conservatives

alike were very unhappy to see see this

framing of the 2024 election Susan

bordson says emphasis on Bor John

Stewart is no longer up to the task he

is incapable of an original idea relied

on lazy tropes that appeal more to the

white dude bro demographic and most

importantly has joined the DC press

Corps in their inability to see the

forest for the trees a fail The Daily

Show the Boomer metaphor about the trees

went right over my head Keith olberman

said this emphasis on Old Men well after

9 years away there's nothing else to say

to the both sidest fraud John Stewart

bashing Biden except please make it

another 9 years that writing was nearly

impossible to understand longtime fans

of John Stewart were clearly very happy

to see his homecoming and in response to

some of the backlash they said this John

Stewart successfully humiliated the

absolute most annoying types of liberals

in his first episode back a massive

success I love that everyone was like

John Stewart we need you but the minute

he criticizes Biden they're like no not

like that John Stewart it's not good

both candidates for president have

melting Brains it's a danger to

democracy to have two men clearly this

unwell mentally Libs Jon is a danger to

democracy for pointing out that they

both have melting brain a thing no one

would realize if unspoken even a

self-described communist Hassan is

a fan of JN Stewart growing up in Turkey

absolutely fascinated with American News

John Stewart was an interesting person

to watch due to the fact that he

seemingly was the only voice in

mainstream TV that criticized America's

foreign policy not embarrassed to admit

he was a big inspiration so clearly John

Stewart is not afraid to call out Joe

Biden or really any Democrat he has a

problem with and most fans of his

already knew that so why else is Legacy

Media afraid of John Stewart well in an

interview for CBS where he discussed his

return to the Daily Show he mentioned

why he left Apple TV the network that's

been his home only since the end of 2021

well I very much wanted uh to have some

kind of place to uh unload thoughts uh

as we get into this election season and

I thought I was going to do it over at

uh they call it Apple TV uh plus it's a

it's a television uh Enclave yes very

small it's like living in Malibu we've

heard of it yes right uh but they

decided that they didn't they they felt

that they didn't want me to say things

typically when a left-wing comment ators

being censored by their own network it's

likely for an unjust cause the network

reportedly had issues with the subject

matter John Stewart wanted to discuss

things like China Ai and Israel we're

going to have so much we're going to

talk about this year uh uh obviously the

elections maybe we'll talk about China

maybe we'll talk about AI maybe

something a little lighter Israel

Palestine uh who knows in this interview

John Stewart also pointed out that the

infighting between Democrats and

Republicans is all a bit of a charade

and the just fight should be between

corruption and integrity I think it's

it's a question of you know what what

are the axes that we're working off of I

think generally you like to work off of

the difference between corruption and

integrity as opposed to right and left

or Democrat and Republican and if you

focus on integrity and and trying to

expose what you think is absurd or

corrupt it'll find its way to wherever

it finds but those are the parameters

that you're trying to use and before his

return to the Daily Show only 9 months

ago he heavily criticized and question

the irresponsible spending of the

defense department are these do you feel

like these are unfair questions of of

somebody within a department of that

size and scope I think do you feel that

think I think you have an a particular

thing you really want to talk about and

you're asking me other questions but I

don't think it's unfair to ask me about

the audit it's absolutely the case that

the United States military should be

able to pass an audit and we've got to

be on that pathway to get there but

don't you think that that does speak to

the larger point that we're trying to

get at which is good journalism

uncovered CS

corruption and okay that I mean good

journalism doesn't cover corruption but

I'm not sure these two things are linked

an audit is not but they are okay so you

need to explain to me do you understand

what an audit does and the degree to

which it is linked to the question that

you're asking I believe so okay go ahead

give me give me give me your explanation

Lear no I I I don't mind learning so

what I would suggest is that uh the

audit that they have in in the military

doesn't really look at um whether or not

there's efficacy it's just whether they

got delivered the thing that they

ordered and that is that is any audit

that is any audit that is true but

generally those audits aren't $400

billion for Ron and $1.7 trillion doll

for a plane that doesn't seem to be

doing like there is a lot of waste Fraud

and Abuse within a system Audits and

waste fra abuse are not the same thing

but the main reason Legacy Media fears

John Stewart is because because he isn't

afraid to question the building block

that this country was supposedly built

on democracy and this isn't anything new

for John Stewart he has a track record

of questioning this American democracy

that everyone talks about I was not

elected to serve one party you were not

elected is he the best the Democrats can

do I'd always thought in a in a

democracy and again I don't know I've

only lived in this country thanks for

staying with us I'm Bill O'Reilly in a

personal story segment tonight he is the

darling of the television critics the

host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central

and now has a book called America a

citizen's guide to democracy in action

in action one word John Stewart couldn't

be more correct because we do not live

in a democracy yet the term democracy is

used as a weapon against us because even

if living in this country has become

harder and harder for workingclass

Americans ever since the 1970s the

government alongside the capitalist

class can continue to lie to us and

reassure us that we live in a Democratic

Society one person one vote let me

remind you two of the last four

presidents didn't even win the popular

vote and the Supreme Court the Supreme

Court the tiny group of nine people that

can overturn abortion rights at the drop

of a hat those people aren't

democratically elected those people were

appointed by the president three of

which were appointed by a president that

didn't even win the popular vote we

don't live in a democracy folks this

type of Comedy this type of analysis

that John Stewart is not afraid to

discuss is exactly what this country

needs right now because whether

subconsciously or consciously nearly

everyone in this country hates both the

Democratic party and the Republican

Party they've just been forced to pick a

side neither of these two parties

represent the working class and the

sooner people realize that the sooner

this country starts moving in the right

direction the more we talk about both

parties not representing us as John

Stewart did did in his return to the

Daily Show the sooner people will

realize it's the system that's the

problem and not the evil guy in the blue

or the evil guy in the red thank you for

watching Northstar radio peace and love

and free

Palestine
