Interview with Oklahoma State Sen. Nathan Dahm | The Problem with Jon Stewart 

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.

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.

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!😂

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.

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😂

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

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?

State senator. Not governor

And where will all the UNregistered guns be?…….same place they are now, in the hands of criminals. Sometimes you have to accept that there are many many things out of your control.

​@@DleefrlulaChicago LA and NYC

Jon is infuriating.

@@GaryJohnstone-dx5svwhat’s funny is you have nothing to compare to. But I do…. Bakersfield California (Kevin McCarthy’s district). Has a higher crime rate than all three of your examples. 😵

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.

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. 🤦🏻‍♂️

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!

I wish Jon would too. But these beasts are exhausting

@@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.

In my next life I'm coming back with his quick brain and articulation on a dime. How I admire that!

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

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".

@@deonb2331 100%. It was magical.

It's Jon, not John. ☺

Jon Stewart is a racist..He has no credibility

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.

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.

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”.

@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.

He's a puke

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"

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

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.

@tracylavalle1555 when he said "We need to look at the problems that those people are Facing" in regards to people who commit gun violence so that he could protect guns.. That needs to be in the comments section of every video/meme on 9gag about Black crime schtatistics. That was truly an eye-opener to the hypocrisy for a twentysomething white kid like myself😳

Nathan Dahm has stock investments in both Smith & Wesson and Ruger.....the 2 largest gun manufacturers in the U.S. That is everything that you need to know about his thought process

3 milion*

almost 4 milion people now

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.

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.

Too bad Tim Russert isn't around any more. He used to do that very well back when he hosted Meet the Press.

@@TruthSage1 Russert was one of the best!!

​​@@TruthSage1 Russert let Cheney walk all over him in 2000. He was weak as water.

@@dozzer009 I thought he was pretty good, especially at getting people to answer questions they didn't want to answer. But that's just my opinion; you're certainly entitled to your own.

@@markwilliams2620 I don't remember that. But OK.

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.

Haha, yep. Well said. Nathan wouldn't bring a knife to a gunfight would he?

Underrated comment

No no. Nathan came with a rubber chicken to a massacre.

Brilliant comment

@Tactical Wendigo not for children.

@Tactical Wendigo He clearly said for children.

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.

It looked like an adolescent child being lectured by a professor!

Not a lot happening between the ears up there. Sorry to say I’m not sure he even heard the words let alone the argument

​@@shapursasan9019that's most republicans. They've been fed nonsense for 50 years, least of all trickle down economics and at worse q anon election lies.

Wonder how much the NRA "donated" to his campaign

Looking forward to it!

Guns are not the leading killer of children. Per the CDC’s own data it’s drowning, falls, and car accidents. Guns don’t even make the top 20. Joh is just an idiot within agenda to push.

That is a disciplined orator. He’s incensed but the man keeps at his point cutting through the bullshit. Had he completely lost his cool people could write him off as an insane liberal

I feel like right around the moment when John said, “you’re making this a semantic argument” is when I started seeing him getting angry. Up to that point, it seems like he was just having a healthy debate, but in the last minute or so is when he was just pissed off and you could tell, but still held it together and made a very cogent argument.

John is a very powerful man in every way that matters. Debating him publicly is a potential career-ender for some of these people.

A THOROUGH background check is required to get a pet (dawg, kat) from an animal shelter fer krissakes. But not a gun? Whose sole function is to kill? WTF?

Because if people got background checks they wouldn’t be able to own a gun due to what may be found 😂

It's not even the gun owners at this point. The GOP are trying to use ya'll as the scapegoats for their lobbying donors. Over 70% of gun owners want common sense laws like background checks bc they too believe, those who are a danger to others, shouldn't own guns. This fight is really about money and that's it!! Smh!!

I also don't get why the first part of the second amendment doesn't get the same amount of attention. A well regulated militia; would imply that firearms should be regulated for the use in a militia m

@@rudysal1429 because republicans cherry pick, that’s why

You're giving them too much credit.

Bcs politicians like him aren't paid to change. They're paid to make sure than more mass shootings happen, and make sure than NRA sales spike right after as the result.

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.

@rbxl010 You honestly think all journalists do this? What outlets are you watching

I thought Nathan stayed calm,focused while being grilled on a spit by our man Valiant...I would've started crying 😭.

​@@Deondre_Clark uh, 🦊? Where'd dudes remark go?

That's why a lot of these politicians, especially the republicans only go to interviews with people that lick their boots, like Tucker etc. One softball question after another, all asked in a way to make the politician sound smart and reasonable. They wouldn't dare to come close to any intelligent journalist ever, because they know, with the bs they are promoting, they can only lose such an argument. Well done by Mr. Stewart! Intelligence vs extremism.

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.

I liked how you said it

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.

I wonder who has been the largest donor to his campaign? Just asking the question. Might explain his thinking.

@@stellajohnson9064 people that like guns in Oklahoma. That’s what they want in that state. If California wants to have people who aren’t armed then they can, it’s what they vote for.

Agreed embarrassing, and not just for him, but for those who voted this fool in and, every resident that has to endure his ignorance.

don't vote republican. It's the worst of both sides at the moment.

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.

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?. 🙄

And yet, Jon is still advocating for something negative in allowing gun control to further progress. By him lying with extremely padded stats and turning a blind eye to the actual intention of the second amendment, he’s doing a disservice to his viewers who don’t know better than to believe the things he’s saying.

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.

Right? And the guy kept trying to say his anecdote wasn't an anecdote. Nice try. Lol Jon is the best and he is legitimately pissed. We need that kind of character and authenticity in government and main stream media.

@@amydee9731 Absolutely!!!

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.

Owning weapons is a human right . That dosent make anyone a hypocrite. If anything it makes jon Stewart a hypocrite. He and all his friends have armed guards with high capacity magazines and even machineguns. But he wants to make sure Us plebs dont have access to good weapons to defend ourselves , or worse, over throw capitalism and eat the rich . Jon's real last name is lebowitz, his brother is a high level investment banker. Hes best friends and related to the people ruining this country. He pretends hes on your side to get you go disarm yourself and you cheer for it

@@dayegilharno4988 Agreed. He's lucky he did not go into politics.

I enjoy a lot of Jon's positions but he fundamentally misunderstands the current decisions of the court (and laws surrounding it, I would imagine). There are many laws preventing obscene or sexual content being given to minors for a non-artistic, non-educational purposes. It is not a matter of whether or not you are infringing on someone's right when you restrict them from doing something to a child which is not even their own but whether or not the law allows the child to partake in it. He definitely did well against the Senator from what we can see; I would love to listen to the interview uncut.

Only "in certain instances" though. Appalling.

​​@@uberfuchs A person in drag is sexual content and obscene? OK... Better change that film certification on films like Mrs. Doubtfire then.

Responsibility does not equal regulation my guy

@@n1njachikin Where there is a lack of responsibility, regulation _must_ occur. It's why we have laws against drunk driving: people were being irresponsible.

@@leyrua drunk driving is not at all comparable to gun ownership. For one, drunk driving is inherently dangerous, owning a gun is not. For another, driving is not a right. Neither is drinking. More regulation is not always the answer. We tried to limit access to drugs. How did that work out? We tried rent control. How about that? We intervened in the Middle East. That going ok? Why do you trust the government with that much power. What makes you think it’s going to be fairly and responsibly applied? What makes you think it’s going to work?

@@n1njachikin Because it works everywhere else. US is the only devloped country were kids get murdered in schools by active shooters. US is the only developed country where gun massacres occur regularly and increasingly. And the reason is regulation. No guns - no problem. It turns out americans do not deserve to have this right. You are demonstrably not responsible enough to own modern firearms and the laws yo keep citing were conceived in the era of muskets. Guns should be way more harshly regulated than cars or beers. You should go through a traning program with a healthy attrition rate to weed out idiots and psychos. You should be subjected to random check-ups and evaluations and you must be a law abiding citizen with no violent crime record. Meet those rquirements - you can mount a minigun on your pickup truck for all I care. Miss one point - we take your guns.

@@backseatsamuraiyou probably don’t even know what straw man argument is. The senator was about to pull out anecdotes to give some legitimacy to his so called arguments. Jon shut that down quickly. You’re as backwards as the senator lool

@@HISHAM931 May b not strawman exactly. But there's ton of lies,misinterpretations, dishonesty,false equivalency,red herring and gaslighting employed by Jon Stewart in this video.

@@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.

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.

@@lex9707 But the second time he added "in certain instances" because he knew he was caught... What a hypocrite and coward.

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

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.

I wouldn't put that on my kids. That's my responsibility. My job is to get them to safety, or just out of the house.

I liked Jon better before he became and angry old man. Sen Dahm was actually pretty, calm, cogent and logical.

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.

The fact that a comedian is the one confronting him and not a "real" news person is disheartening.

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.

Note to self: get a new Communications Director

I've literally never heard of this Nathan guy until now. Jon is well known for picking at low-hanging fruit rather than challenging his intellectual equals. He's a coward who operates for special interest groups and you libcucked incels fall for it every time. Keep slurping up whatever Hollywood tells you though. LMAO

There’s a PR manager looking for a new job…

You can hear how tight his throat gets.

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.

I notice jon isn't talking about going into the ghettos and taking guns from all the black people killing each other. Wonder why??

It can be both, and it is. They're not mutually-exclusive. But great point in noticing this other skill, too.

more than two things can be true at the same time.

@@Starcrash6984 The far right reveals their hypocrisy every time they speak…and with alarming nonchalance.

He was heated and shaking at the end. The one being interviewed was more calm and collected did we watch the same thing.

Oh but contrary he loves children, he's saving them from watching drag shows🙄🤡what a clown

Being confident while losing is one of the main skills of a politician. All he has to do is keep calm and repeat his own thing no matter what anyone else says. People will then hear his thing and believe it.

That whole "opinion" argument kind of goes out the window.

Not all sociopaths are Republicans, but EVERY Republican is a sociopath.

Narcissism
