Jon Stewart unpacks Biden’s fired-up State of the Union and Katie Britt’s disastrous GOP kitchen rebuttal, then calls bulls**t on conservatives branding themselves the party of “true American patriots” and wrapping themselves in the Constitution, while their leader Trump's rhetoric sounds more like an undemocratic king. #DailyShow #JonStewart #Trump Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/?ftag=PPM-05-10aei0b Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral Watch full episodes of The Daily Show: https://www.cc.com/shows/the-daily-show About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

    I’m not sure Trump would have won if John was on the Daily Show in 2016. No one is better at cutting through right wing bullshit.

      Jon needs to run.

      The ones who don’t want it are often the ones we need to do it.

        I mean, he has a great moral compass, and he’s smart. But he might be better at driving public opinion while he’s on the air. And he definitely doesn’t want to do it.

          Also if he ran in the very next election, he’d be 66 at his inauguration. Not exactly achieving our goal of injecting some youth into the presidency!

      Jon Stewart was on the air prior to Bush II’s election, and throughout his reign. This didn’t prevent B II from getting re-elected, and he remained a highly popular president until his final year in office. Our lionization of entertainers is nothing short of bizarre

        Bush and Trump are entirely different beasts. Bush had the Bush name to give him legitimacy initially and the Iraq war fervor to keep him going. Trump has been publicly a buffoon his entire life and the media failed to properly call him out. We needed a strong media presence to tear him down, and Stewart could have been that.
