“The message of [the GOP] is really whatever Trump wants, having nothing to do with conservative principles.” Former Republican Colorado Representative Ken Buck joins Jon Stewart to discuss his early resignation from Congress and why he doesn’t align with the principles of the MAGA wing of the Republican Party. They talk about the shift of news media to entertainment, Trump’s claims that everything unfavorable to him is “fraud,” and whether Trump’s hush money trial and verdict was a step toward eliminating corruption or a dangerous precedent of elected officials being targeted by the justice system. #DailyShow #TrumpTrial #JonStewart #MAGA

Ken buck was my "representative" when he held a veterans issues town hall with less than 2 days of notice. I was working out of state at the time, took unscheduled pto and booked a last minute flight to attend. After showing up 15 minutes late to a 1 hour meeting, spending 20 minutes congratulating himself on the trump tax cuts, and complaining about not having enough money to properly fund veterans programs, the obvious question of how tax cuts would increase funding for the VA was asked. After he and Phil Roe outright lied to a room full of veterans, I called out his obvious lie and he threatened to have the armed police officer in the room arrest me. I am a 100% disabled veteran. Ken buck and all the rest of the gop can pound sand as far as I'm concerned.

The civility of this discourse *is* refreshing. It also highlights why he's been able to have guests agree (or even ask) to come on across the board. You have a session that - although light-hearted - starts with the person saying (sincerely) they and the host will not agree; yet there is a *discussion* and room is made for the answers to questions being asked. Unlike - and all the U.S news networks are guilty of this though one "entertainment" co. is the most blatantly so - bringing in a "opposing voice" to simply talk over, humiliate, and ridicule for as long as they can wring the snip dry. 24 years it's escalated to rhetoric in News Media to the point of division being the sole purpose. After a quarter century of it - yes, it's refreshing to see someone finish their sentence before (in many cases, quite literally) being shouted over/at halfway through because the host simply wants a visual to stawman. Jon listens. He may have counterpoints, but they're based off of what is *actually* said - not a preconstructed narrative then forced on the person if they deviate from preconceptions. The fact we're getting this from a self-described "professional clown" is simultaneously refreshing (simply because it simply exists and shows it can be done) and *immensely depressing* because *no one else is.*

This reflects the sad state of the country at the moment. Ken Buck is an ultra conservative, similar to a Liz Cheney, that I never would’ve supported, and I still don’t, based on policy and belief systems, but because they do the bare minimum of acknowledging that Trump lost in 2020 and that January 6th was in fact an insurrection, we’re supposed to applaud them? I wish to have a higher bar for congressional representatives.

It's so great to have Jon Stewart back. The only intellectually honest journalist out there. He may not like the term but his sourcing, topics covered, and open dialogue with his hosts and audience are exceedingly rare in today's media. Tragically rare. Thank you for the engaging nonpartisan perspectives! I'd say balanced views too, but that means providing a false equivalency in views as there are topics were there isn't a 50/50 but a simple very wrong or a very right over the other. America needs this. WPs Democracy dies in Darkness slogan is true, but they and other major syndicates seem to have run out of light bulbs

Exactly. And I think what a lot of people don't understand is that we aren't saying that with total ignorance to the political pressures involved in the case. There was political pressure to prosecute Trump. But none of that really matters because he's guilty. In a perfect system, it shouldn't take any political pressure to prosecute - he would just be prosecuted regardless, because he did it.

@BennyT_3434 19 дней назад

Firstly, I appreciate Ken Buck coming on the show despite being an unfriendly venue. Jon Stewart is a master of framing a discussion in ways that disarm his guests and open up a fruitful dialogue. I'm a left-leaning independent living in Texas. I love talking to conservatives and breaking down the seemingly dichotomous relationship that we see in the mainstream media. When you are in an echo chamber, those outside of that chamber are the enemy. That's the polarized partisan environment we have today, and it needs to stop. I think Jon is demonstrating how we should manage relationships with those with whom we disagree. Not with causticity, but reason and friendliness.

@MrBrock314 18 дней назад

That's not what he meant and I'm pretty sure that was clear by what he said. He said specifically that the DA took the case because of Trump instead of because of Trump's crimes. That is a targeted prosecution if he's correct. This is not a major deal when the person you're trying is ONLY a criminal. But it's a bigger deal if the person being targeted is a political opponent as it's a potential conflict of interest. For example, a democratic DA would generally have a conflict of interest prosecuting a Republican by the name of Trump. Because DA's run for office, he'd have an inherent benefit to convicting a political opponent as it would near guarantee his re-election. This is why DA's shouldn't have party affiliations so they can prosecute members of the public without a conflict of interest. Don't get me wrong, Trump deserves to be convicted of many crimes but this is an inherent flaw in the system that Trump and his lawyers are pointing out and they're not wrong even if Trump still IS guilty and should be convicted.
