The Daily Show - Burn Noticed 

I notice a lot of global wobbling whenever I've had too many drinks. There may be a correlation.

think they should rename themselves to "the house committee against science,space and technology"

The year is 2020, I come from a future where wash your hands and don't drink bleach is considered libral propaganda.

I feel so bad for the scientist. I think he felt his IQ drop every time one of those politicians opened their mouths.

I honest to god feel sorry for that scientist. I would NOT have stayed even remotely as civil.... Just wow. National Hero imo

On a Jon Stewart nostalgia binge following his return. He’s the best to ever do it.

I love when politicians act like they're scientifically smarter than goddamn SCIENTISTS.

I really hate when the government says "we need to encourage people to get into science" then turn around and ignore everything they say. What is the point in having scientists if you aren't going to believe what they say?

Fun fact: Steve Stockman was convicted on 23 felony counts in 2018, was subsequently sentenced to serve ten years in prison, and was ordered to pay $1,014,718.51 in restitution.

I just realized that Murray Energy was the company that sued John Oliver.

"on the land, you know, the part where the water ISN'T." I'm fucking dying, my sides!

This isn't stupidity, it's just these idiots being paid of by corporations.

Just image how infinitely frustrating that committee hearing was for that scientist...like trying to explain to a extremely spoiled teenager that she can't go to that one direction concert she wanted....

Does it scare anybody else that these people are in power.

I just feel bad for the scientist dude! He'll have better luck teaching 5 year olds!

I really miss Jon Stewart

This is the Committee on science, space and technology? Can it be made into law that people having such important positions actually have an at least somewhat relevant education? How do these people even dress themselves?

I'm ashamed to say I was a global warming skeptic when I was younger but once you do some reading on both sides of the argument, look around you and use common sense it doesn't take a genius to figure out we are having a negative effect on our planet and need to find practical solutions to solve it

I am so sad this is gone I love Trevor's show but Jon Stewart was the godfather that took the worst of life and made us smile at the least thank you jon

Gotta love how obviously passionate Jon is. He doesn't just deliver the lines and move on; he is completely invested in the delivery.

The BALLS that guy has to say that scientists need the climate to keep changing to publish their articles! HE is the one who NEEDS to deny global warming to keep the money from energy corporations coming! It is time for all these loons to #FeelTheBern !!!

When Bucshon referred to "public comments" to refute scientific evidence, I laughed so hard it got to be like those situations where you just can't stop laughing. Took my breath away.

i wonder how these politicians passed basic science and math.

I come back here since I can't watch Jon anywhere else.

Jon Stewart's takedown of these bought house repubs is goddamned beautiful. I do wish, in all honesty, he was running for president. Now, that would make America great again!

He's back babyyy!! 2024 is gonna be great!! This performance right here is PEAK jon Stewart.

Poor, poor John Holdren. Can you imagine being this well-versed in a subject, only to have a bunch of idiot politicians who know nothing about science telling you you're wrong? What's more frustrating is that I don't even know if these people are really this dumb, or if they know exactly what's happening, but they care more about the amount of money in their pockets than the state of the planet.

I will try my hardest as I make my way up in education and bureacracy to ensure jon stewart is taught in political sicence, social studies, and journalism classes!! This man was in his bag this episode!!!

Dear Mr.Scientist, I'm a politician with no relevant background in the field of climate science. But let me explain to you, what the entire global scientific community of climate scientists has forgotten to take into account, because CLEARLY it's more likely that you all have forgotten to think of that, than me being wrong. ... Yep. Sounds about right,

Binge-watching Jon from 5 yrs ago... could be shows from the last few days. NO ONE WAS EVER MORE PRESCIENT, or better at explaining the big picture nuances of current events.

That scientist should get a nobel peace prize for listening all that and not losing his cool

I love the shoutout for Murray Energy here! 😂 #eatshitBob

3:25 _"The hearing's Sisyphus? Presidential Science Advisor John Holdren, charged with the impossible task of pushing a million pounds of idiot up a mountain."_ lol

Man I miss this guy. You could basically just replay this today and it would be just as true.

Damn, I love this segment… I use it in my lectures on scientific knowledge. The bit where he freaks out and goes "Are you kidding me, are you f-ing kidding me!" gets me every time!

six years old...and could be re-run uncut today as if it were live! 😱

Q4 2019 and I laughed and cried immediately after cause nothing has changed...

I'm pretty sure this is my favorite clip of the daily show ever. It's the only one I continued to look up and watch after all these years.

Jon was a gem

This is peak Jon Stewart. My favourite ever clip I've seen of him.

What’s scary is how little has changed.

You see, I'm not explicitly Democrat or Republican, but I don't think I could ever vote for a Republican when the party is the political home of the climate change deniers and speculators.

Just here because Jon once a week in ‘24 isn’t enough looking forward to this year with you Mr. Stewart.

America needs you more then ever John, for the love of god come back!!!

Can we have jon stewart back please. We need him now more than ever. Thank you

I miss john and i did his bit where he places ice into a water cup to describe rising sea levels. I was a bartender and I was extremely frustrated by a customers assertions. Afterwards he acknowledged my logical conclusion. Best fucking day of my life. Thanks to john Stewart showing me how to talk to stupid people. Including myself.

This sounds like the first draft to "Don't look up"

friendly reminder that all but 1 of the representatives shown in this clip are still in office today in 2018.

New Rule for America: No one from the state of Texas should be on any committee that has anything to do with science. EVER.

Miss him soo much...

There really will never be anyone like Jon.

Jon, we miss you!

Here in 2020 and missing this guy.

"Hearing from Big Fecal" I am confused, I thought the discussion was already about Congress? LOL

I still watch The Daily Show and still miss Jon

Notice the big R’s near all of the representatives names

"You should look at the scientific literature and not the public comment" WREKT!!!!!

We should make these meetings far more public. The fact that it can be boiled down to Smart people telling idiots who run our country how the world works. Then watch the idiots try to disprove scientific facts. I'm sure it would draw more attention and maybe get rid of some of the corruption in the government.

4 years old video, still relevant today.

Did those congressmen fail their 5th grade science class? They shouldn’t be on that committee, for Pete’s sake.

I swear I've watched this at least five times but that breakdown at 8:54 makes me laugh every time.

Murray energy?!? John Oliver knew from the beginning!

I can rewatch this consistently and still 😂😂🤣🤣

I love the way John expresses the anger, frustration, and general outrage in his version of the Daily Show... it always felt like the right way to express it, because too often I just feel the anger, frustration, and general outrage and show them in a normal way, but he kinda taught me to funnel it through a comedy filter first and thats kind of allowed me to deal with it better... and God am I glad I learned that before this current administration (soon to be past thank God)

I remember when this took place, I was in continental Europe at the time, somewhere in southern France, for work and studies. And i recall that it was all over french news for a couple of days, as they really just could not believe how willfully ignorant these government officials were when it came to climate change and global warming. People outside of the U.S. were just astonished... I remember when the host played clips from this same event on national t.v., and the main guests; some minister from the french conservative LREM party, and a climate activist from green EELV party, actually both laughed because they truely thought that it was satire! The host then tried to explain, and the conservative still wasn't having it. He started defending the American conservative movement, by comparing it to the French equivalent, and referencing original conservative principles etc... But then the other guest caught on and said "-Oh, but the American conservatives are different, their movement is full of religious extremists who embrace 17th century superstitions and reject science... what we're seeing is really happening over there, it's quite unbelievable isn't it? In the 21st century, in the world's leading super power! " The conservative minister and the t.v. host end up agreeing with the member of the green party that America was in the process of losing all credibility in the eyes of the world, and that due to a growing overt distain for critical thinking, poor education, and rampant conspiratorial obscurantism, the U.S.A. was no longer in a position to be taken seriously on positions such as climate change, energy development, or progress in the public sector. At the time I remember thinking "That's a bit harsh!" And telling myself how it's probably just a phase that American politics we're going through... that eventually people would get a grip, and cooler heads would prevail, and America would end up leading the way into the new era of renewable energy and responsible production... How completely and utterly, very, very WRONG was I !?!?! 😂 😂 😂 😧 Barely a decade later, and the U.S.A is a global laughing stock, whilst in the grips of a violent proto-fascist movement, with a ridiculous orange authoritarian wanabe dictator at the helm of the nation, and who defines "Truth" as "whatever makes him feel good about himself at any given moment in time".......😨

i love this man so fucking much

Jon Stewart please come back, we need you, sincerely, the humans of the Earth.

Please come back to the Daily Show

its sad when comedians and late night tv hosts makes better politicians and scientists then the ones that get paid millions of dollars.

Probably the best Jon Stewart episode of all time.

Drinking water while watching Jon Stewart is not a grea idea:-)

Sometimes, when I start to lose all of my patience with another human being, I think of Jon saying "because it's already in the water", and i can stay a step back from furious to annoyed.

This makes me realize how much I will miss this show, and miss Jon Stewart.

8:55 is where I laugh so hard that the tears of frustration and anger almost feel normal.

Noah is a sweetheart but Jon Stewart is a master,we miss you.

I recall hanging out with grad students in the environmental science department in college who were asked bs questions like this during their research. While preparing for their thesis defense, they told me how they were given bs questions such as "is climate really the cause for the increase in storms in this area over the past 20 years?" (Paraphrased of course) . Frustrating as it may have seemed, we were certain that the questions were really meant to prepare them for life as a climate scientist. I hope they're doing well.

I didn't know we'd be talking to an actual scientist. Lmao God bless you Jon Stewart 😂

It's a pretty bad sign when the best comedy show in a country doesn't even have to make up jokes, but merely has to quote the actual statements of politicians to come up with something completely ridiculous.

Jon... You are blessed with an special gift. I miss your shows.....

It has almost been five years and this video remains relevant. People like these still sit in important offices, choosing to believe in what they are comfortable with rather than scientific facts. God I miss Jon Stewart. No one presets the issues like he did.

I wished that we have Jon Stewart for President and not Trump.

His "I don't believe the scientists, it is their profession, NOT their hobby" is relevant in 2021 today, more than ever.

I love that scientist!😁😄😆🤣🤣😂😅

In 50 years from now, the history books are going to villify Republicans. I still don't know how I'm going to explain this to my grandchildren. Assuming we make it that long.

I've watched this bit 25 times and it still makes me laugh every 10 seconds I watch it...

I think the scary thing is how impossible it is to tell how much of this is pure unfiltered idiocy, and how much of it is prepared talking points from special interests who want as many people as possible to believe global warming isn't happening or isn't a concern. Of course, if it were the latter you would expect the talking points to be better than "but what about global wobbling," but then again, ALL the science is against said special interests here, and nobody ever accused THEM of not being idiots, so...

It's fantastic feeling to be able to say that 9 years later he's back!

We totally need Jon Stewart back on TV 📺!

Rep Buschon is a cardiothoracic surgeon by trade and a pretty good one I'm told. It's amazing how he told the scientist to go by 'public comments' which is nothing but ' guy at my bar'

doesn't get old

The part about washing hands sure aged like a fine wine

This piece is absolutely incredible. I've watched it a thousand times and can't believe what is happening there.

I honestly think this is one of the best bits he ever did.

"Maybe we should take an equal amount of time to hear from Big Fecal." John, you just finished playing clips from the House of Reps. That *IS* Big Fecal.

I’m watching this in 2019. We are truly doomed with people like this in the house committee. This hurt to watch

3 years later, SAME PROBLEM

@3:30 LMAO! "Pushing 1,000,000 lbs. of idiot up a mountain ". (Wow! Do I know that feeling well) Anyway, Gotta love our government... and now we have 10,000,000 lbs. of SUPER IDIOT as head of the executive branch. Guess we're gonna explode like planet Krypton now. 🐸 Shout out to Jon Stewart!!! Miss you sooooo much... you are timeless!!😀

We miss you John, used to watch your show every day, now we need you more than ever

This shit was legendary!

I can’t stop watching this, it’s just so good
