Jon Stewart Talks Political Accountability, Systemic Racism, His Movie ‘Irresistible’ + More 

Have you ever noticed that the wisest people on this planet seem to be the comedian. It's because they see the world without blinders on.

How is it that this man can always articulate exactly what needs to be said with apparent ease? Damn genius

I really respect that he stayed bit more to LISTEN to their pov, like actually listen not just talk over them👌🏾 loved this interview from A to Z

This man makes me forget that he is either white or black. I just saw another human being. We all need to get to this level. Great interview! We need more like this to help educate our young folks.

I always liked Jon Stewart, he was "woke" before it was cool to be so.

"Black ppl had to fight so hard to equality, while white people were building equity". Enough said.

“If you’re more worried about language policing, than POLICING, you’re out of step”🙌👏

Jon Stewart is the kind of person that the Democratic party needs. Young enough to know where we need to get to, and old enough to know where we've been.

See right there at 23:23. That’s why I love Jon Stewart. He knows how to separate his experiences from other people’s experiences.

When Jon left The Daily Show, I was so worried that he would fade out and we'd never hear from him again. I'm so glad he's stayed active- he's a voice of reason we could really use right now. Love Trevor, but TDS just isn't the same without Jon. Edit: Yesterday, TDS did an interview with Jon Stewart and Jon has keeps Trevor giving this look of a proud father and it's so precious

Profound statement: " You can't negotiate equality from a subservient position".

"My experience is not THE experience" If EVERYONE could understand this, we would all do a lot better.

Jon is the only individual of another color that not only listens but brings up obstacles in a respectable manor that helps us with critical thinking to solve & push our agenda. I respect that.

Jon is one of the most brilliant minds. I low-key wish there were two daily shows...one with him, the other with Trevor. They are both amazing at communicating relevant information with perspective, passion and a bit of humor.

We don't need Jon as President we need Jon to teach politics to America.

I miss hearing this man's voice Monday thru Thursday. He's responsible for influencing a generation of progressives in the US. Thank you for hosting Jon

I’d say that two of the most insightful long form comic speakers I’ve ever heard are Patrice O’Neal and Jon Stewart. This is a gift.

Probably who we needed to hear the most from in 2020. Underappreciated mind in our generation.

“The only principle is power” Protect Jon Stewart at all cost people

Mr. Stewart spoke at a hearing for 911 responders that are now gravely ill. It was upsetting and heartwarming. But he was right. He is very much about the people

Jon Stewart is one of my favorite people. His speech to Congress was so dope

1 hour 5 minutes flew by so fast, man Jon Stewart should have run for President.

These are the kinds of interviews we need right now.

When Jon Stewart, a comedian and a satirist, is more insightful, intellectual, and a better leader then our President...that’s when you know America has a lot of work to do 💯

Jon Stewart is THE Late Night News GOAT 🐐 I absolutely LUV his perspective. He shaped my political views on The Daily Show. His voice is *SO* necessary!! I adore him. #TeamJonStewart

Black ppl fighting for equality while white people building equity- jon Stewart

Jon Stewart and The Breakfast Club having a genuine conversation...THIS IS AMERICA!

Get him on Brilliant Idiots! We need a couple hours of this.

I honestly I don't know why but hearing Envy talk about his dad being the point person for his block made me very tearful. If there was an equivalent in every micro community the amount of lives that could be saved. No escalation no formal police involvement and kids just being able to get on with their lives.

I'm a simple man. I see a new jon stewart interview, i click.

The interview none of us knew that we needed

Was not planning on watching the whole episode but this guy's knowledge got me hooked to the last minute. Just one of the few good interviews.

The OG John Stewart 👑

Congratulations to The Breakfast Club on getting this interview and doing a great job with it. Jon doesn't speak to just anyone and I think we all needed to hear from him. Imagine if he ran for president...

I never get tired of listening to Jon Stewart's always insightful observations.

Their fear of an imaginary destopian future prevents us from dealing with the dystopian present - I love that. hits it so hard on the head

Ah, Jon. He's always welcome to the cookout.

Jon looks like he’s stuck on an island & enjoying every minute of it 😎

loved him since i was a little girl. the daily show taught me so much about politics, 9/11, and the Iraqi war!

Been in the BLACK alliance before it was coo. Bless up

Holy shit, great guest. The daily show is what got me interested in politics.

You can tell who reads and who's informed just by the questions and comments.

Jon is doing what he does best. He’s schooling the breakfast club and they were very receptive to his words. Love jon

Never had so many ads on a BC Interview before. Only happens when someone spitting facts and gems.

"There is no principal, but power." #Facts

The guy who got me into Politics! Very intelligent.

Wyatt Cynac was the comedian/Daily Show writer that called Stewart out on his Herman Cain impression--I believe that's why Cynac left the show due to their falling out. But they made up later after Stewart admitted he was in the wrong and should have listened to Cynac instead of blowing up at him over his criticisms.

Jon's mind and world view is fluid and nuance. Love hearing his interviews in long form.

One of my favorite comedians/people ever! One of the people who shaped my views on politics.

Why isn’t Jon Stewart on tv or a podcast educating people??? We need him now more than ever!

Wow, this made me a HUGE fan of Jon Stewart!! So informed and honest about the issues - loved seeing the progression of this conversation and the critical thinking involved. He needs to be in the public eye more informing people! He talked about the issues in a way that people will respond to; disarming them from their defensiveness!

Wow! I never watch Jon Stewart before now, and Wow!!! I need to go back and watch his work. He seems humble and very aware. Wow!!!

MY PEEPS IN KENTUCKY, GET MOSCOW MITCH OUT TODAY - VOTE FOR CHARLES BOOKER TO CHALLENGE HIM IN NOVEMBER!

Been listening to Jon Stewart since his show on MTV

I just came here to say I love John Stewart. That is all. Carry on good people.

Why doesn't this man run for president...he has the pulse of the American people...

Its crazy when I hear John Stewart speaking more truth than most on the black people with large platforms

Standing ovation. Well done, crew.

Jon - you are so needed right now!!! Thank you for coming out, getting this out to help - and on such an great channel - love it!

This is definitely one of the top 5 best interviews on TBC!

Jon Stewart!!!!!! Swear, he's the best

First person to make politics cool!!!!! Love Jon Stewart!!!

Defund the police is a misnomer. Should be “De-task the police” There are many situations where police do not need to be called in for.

“You don’t fix something unless you get rid of the underlining cancer.” ~John Stewart. Best quote I’ve heard from white alliance.

The way he said "protect the vote"...it almost sounds like he knows that something crazy is going to happen

As usual Mr Stewart is full of knowledge. Good interview.

“ you can’t negotiate equality from a subservient position “

This is one of the most honest discussions I’ve heard in my lifetime.

Protect this man at all cost, this is the truth. We better keep the momentum going 💯✊🏾

13:30 Laura Ingraham pefect example. Drew Vs Lebron "Shut up and dribble: vs "He has the right to his opinion" Ohhhhh the hypocrisy of America. Childish Gambino- this is America. ‐_‐

1.25x speed is the perfect pacing for this. Jon's got that great orator slow and steady speech going on. Good to see and hear from him again

He should run for presidency. A younger Bernie , definitely would get my vote

This was great. Cant wait for the movie. He looks great & he is a gift to our Country. Thank you for letting him speak with minimal interruptions. Every thought is a gem!

Always had a crush on Jon Stewart... intelligent and handsome man.

God. I miss John so damn much... And I never realize how much till he comes back and reminds me how little ive figured out till I hear him explain things

Fantastic interview! Jon is always insightful and enjoyable to listen to, but props to the hosts here! Respectful, interesting questions, and most importantly not constantly interrupting the guest every 20 seconds (like so many others do). For saying there were three hosts and one guest here, I'm amazed how little interruption happened. This was my first time watching a Breakfast Club interview but I'll definitely be checking out more!

This was a more constructive conversation than the one with Rush Limbaugh.

STEW BEEF!!! I LOVE THIS GUY!! I miss him. BY FAR THE BEST LATE NIGHT HOST OF ALL TIME!!

I really appreciate Jon Stewart's measured observations right now.

Thank You Jon Stewart! You are the first person I’ve heard ...say out loud... what truly has to be dealt with and addressed open and honestly in order to truly confront this in order to finally change it. I agree with everything Stewart said, but I am referring specifically to what he said at about 40 minutes into this video in response to Charlemagne‘s statement.I’ve said the same exact thing and been misunderstood a couple times which is so frustrating and heartbreaking at times. NOW is the time that we have to have this conversation and fix it... make it right and it is going to take ALL of us! ❤️

And Kentucky closes 95% of polling places, now we know why Mitch McConnell , the senator from Kentucky , wouldn’t entertain an election security bill since 2017, 2018 whenever the Muller Report came out

Miss Jon’s thoughts and commentary.

“There is no principle but power” -John Stewart

What a brilliant and blatantly honest man and what a great interview - no talking over each other, no goading questions or responses - just a respectful talk/interview in which every question was answered and every response that elicited a reply was replied to and done so respectfully. Honestly one of the best interviews I’ve watched/heard in a long time and I was hooked from beginning to end. Not to say in any way that I’m a hater of, but I’m not a huge fan of the Breakfast Club but this was fantastic. You could tell that all 3 of them could tell he was just being honest and himself and that made the ease of transitions back and forth very “liquid” if that makes sense. Bravo 👏🏼

Jon Stewart's very even-keeled in his thinking

Breakfast Club gets me through quarentine

Very good dialogue. Thank you fo having people of varying backgrounds on the show!!

We have to be intentional! Time stamps below! I don't normally do this, but Jon speaks truth. This resonated with me so much- listen to the whole thing if possible. I have time stamped some of my favorites parts if you are not able to as I feel this content is so valuable and important. 5:55-6:45 Jon's hope, grass roots/standing up 11:10-12:20 Dem(coalition- no singular language) vs Rep(more homogeneous) 14:22-15:00 Political correctness, cancel culture to distract. No principle, just want to hold on to power 15:40-18:32 Protect the vote!!! Maintain optimism and enthusiasm. They will try to wear you down. Don't let fault stop us. 19:48-21:55 Biden (his guy now). Man knows loss/suffering. Leader with humility. 24:55-25:22 Whites blame Blacks for the hole they put them in. Hole is structural and never filled in. 28:45-29:45 Black people fought so hard for equality, while White people built equity. 36:33-37:02 Education --> Equal. Giving up resources when "I didn't do anything wrong" 44:36-45:18 Cannot negotiate equality without equity. 45:48 What we should have done to help people during pandemic, not just funding the investor class. 51:00-56:56 White folks getting defensive, getting called out when they think it is not their fault. Need to actively dismantle! Have to be intentional!!! Get over defensiveness, all have blind spots. Need will & stamina. 58:56 Forgive self (grace)

Damn first time being introduced to Jon Stewart,Genius,I’m Hooked.

Good Morning everyone, remember to support black businesses. We need eachother.

I was always aware of the Breakfast Club and their popularity but never really listened to full episodes. I really enjoy your show and what you do and have been binge watching old episodes. Thanks for making your show available on RU-vid!

"Black people have had to fight so long for equality, while white people were building equity..."; "It's not just about the police; it's about the structure underneath..." - say it louder for the people in the back!!! Gee whiz, I love this guy; just as smart & handsome as ever - missed you, Jon, Welcome Back!!! Watch out - when Jon comes over, there will be truth in the house!

Been watching this guy (with the gray hair patch) since mid-90's on Mtv.

“There is no principle but power”

Thank you for sharing Envy - your dad had that "whanaungatanga" connection within ya'lls community for them to reach out to before feeling the need to contact the mainstream 5 o channel. How blessed were they. That's how you protect and serve and take care of your community as a REAL Police Officer.

That whole Daily show army has produced amazing conscience voices, Jon Stewart, Colbert, John Oliver, Trevor Noah.

I live Stewart! I miss him destroying Bill o Riley and Fox News

Imagine a man so articulate he can make Charla stfu 🤯

Hearing John Stewart's name brings immediate joy. He deserves a statue for being an exceptional human being :)

Many may be asking themselves: Jon Stewart is so smart, and is so counter-washington culture, and he's articulate and impactful and persuasive. Why doesn't he run for office? The answer is that people with incredible skills and assets recognize that those skills and assets fetch a much higher price in the private sector. In a very real sense, the people who end up in washington are the JV team.
