The Daily Show - Start Wars 

They know THEY can't be trusted, so they automatically attribute their own (lack of) character to others.

The US is so full of shit. Who are they kidding? We're saving them from themselves, right? Good Lord. How can they say all this bs without bursting out loud with hysterical OK laughter? Is anyone buying this crap?

​@@edinfific2576 Indeed, "psychological projection" is the GOP's guiding principle.

It was almost like Iran wanted peace.

@@edinfific2576 Exactly. It's all projection with them. Just like Nixon. They assume everyone else is cheating as much as they are. When in reality, they are the ones stealing elections. They are the ones destroying freedom and democracy. They are the ones destroying America.

In the context of the last week, this clip is downright haunting.

TheFrezident I never knew Obama went on record essentially saying he had too much power. Now I have even more respect.

Obama was unreal! What a fucking joke our country has become

Stand Alone I don’t even kno what to say to family members who actually believe Trump is worlds better than Obama. I’m lost for words every time

@@GeneralConsensusPod Small minded people love trump! There's nothing you can do to increase someone's IQ to a gorilla's!

Likewise

+Patrick Chole at least we have the ben carson impersonations now.

I am getting the vapors! :D

Patrick Chole i literally came here just for that

Thanks folks. This is probably the first RU-vid comment ever that didn't devolve into rampant troll insanity. Cheers🙏

You make a mean ice sculpture, though. ^-^

I blame Woodrow Wilson

so true!

😭

Right because we only provide the most foreign aid then all other countries combined

+Barry Sabahat Neither does deporting immigrants.

+TedGoranson69 Oh don't worry, THAT will make enough money for the private sector. Only that the rest of the economy looses a giant amount of work force.

wolfhead21 Fucking lol. Yeah, clearly corporations don't profit from having a massive class of people they pay less than minimum wage who can't ever complain about working conditions, right? And clearly, we need a larger work force at a time when youth unemployment is at record highs. Yep. No corporate beneficiaries here folks.

TedGoranson69 mhm, and you want to solve the youth unemployment by providing them with jobs that they categorically reject? Good luck trying that one. And the state will never deport the illegals completely by it's own efforts, a good chunk will go to private contractors.

wolfhead21 They are not rejecting anything. There aren't enough jobs out there for them to take, plain and fucking simple. Or are you one of the people who takes corporations at their words when they bleat about 'shortages' and 'no one wanting to work' as if they don't have massive self-interest behind those claims?

Duncan Wallace What is even more ironic that disability treaty was based upon the American with disabilities act

Duncan Wallace Simple, when it comes to raiding foreign countries with drones or fly in and do covert operations there´s no such thing as unintentional consequences, drawbacks or, for that matter, any risk of full out war. American logic.

Duncan Wallace ".......but when it comes to starting wars, what could go wrong?" God. Reading RU-vid comments by Americans more and more makes me so utterly embarassed to be American.

Dathotness4ya Pretty sure that´s irony.

Johan Öhgren Well I just hovered the cursor over his username and I'm just finding out now that he's from Sydney, Australia. Had I known that I would have taken it as sarcasm. I'm STILL more and more everyday embarrassed to be American by the comments I read online from people in this country. I encourage you all abroad to keep telling us about ourselves. It's like America thinks its the hottest guy in the whole entire school until you all come along and hold a mirror up in front of their face and he snaps out of his arrogance and finds out what people really think. Please keep holding up that mirror.

Dur hur hur fuk congresz rite guyz?

Mr420Spy Oh yeah, it's only the republicans. Typical dumbass brainwashed to see everything as either red or blue.

jonny clipper Uh... Yes?

+Mr420Spy "who's always had a problem with progress" Thats kinda the whole point of conservativism.

good god his name was plastered all over television for decades. its JON

Jon

My man’s on Twitter now!

@@BidM142 Im writing him in for president from now on....unless trump runs in which case I’ll have to back the direct opposition

Totally.

I miss Jon Stewart. Trevor Noah is a talentless hack.

I miss him too.

Trevor Noah is a great comedian, but Trump ruins modern comedy. He has no time to relax and focus on other issues apart from trump. Trump eclipses the whole news cycle. It’s kind of sick.

Um I hate to bring this up but this deal is gone now

+FreedomOrNothin Nah. We want gold to come over here and fucking write it with its fucking gold hands.

+FreedomOrNothin haha

sorry don't cut it. you clowns keep electing that asshat. how about instead of sorry, you freakin don't?

Dear arkansas, We're sorry for Mike Pence Sincerely, Indiana

Dear America, We're sorry for Betsy DeVos. Sincerely, Michigan

I still wanna hear an apology from Kentucky (I live in Massachusetts)

Dear America We're sorry for creating you Sincerely, Europe

Saaaame

+ramy hiekal GOOD NEWS! He's coming back on HBO towards the end of 2016. It's not going to be a weekly show, but he's going to be producing stuff on a fairly regular basis.

This is greatest news

I wish he stayed a little longer he spoke so much truth and he was for all race we're going to miss you John

I got it!! Ha ha ha We will start a new requirement to be in congress or be the president you must of served at least one season as a TV entertainer! Yea Dudes, that would make the government more of a laughing matter!

Catch Pokemon?

A. DUBITANTE

Just wait until Trump comes in

A. DUBITANTE Make huge amounts of money by making everyone submit.

you aren't wrong. but that's bc gop have co-opted our morality ... all while whining they're the "moral authority." we're so fucked in this country. genuinely, if you're in the the 195 countries that DID sign: I'm sorry we suck this badly. genuinely, if most americans paid attention (they don't ... again, sorry) to this - and understood it (I know, I know ...) - I'm pretty sure that back in 2015 a majority would be in favor of doing the right thing. (the "we don't want to lose sovereignty" argument has been a LONG one for the right. the underlying issue seems to have to real point for that coalition.)

similar to climate agreement!

Well signing that would make it a little harder to bomb children. We can't have that.

@@terrycrichton The real reason is that Jesus freaks would lose the right to beat their children with pipes & send them to psychological torture camps

As my son Christian says, "The new American exceptionalism." Unfucking believable. The US is so full of shit. No wonder other countries laugh at us, or worse, hate us. This is the worst place in the world. We should be called the Selfish States of America.

I'll concede that if you are talking about all the sensational cable news channels created in the last 30 years or so, but otherwise nah. Look at any compelling bit of information presented in comedy like this show, and in captions you'll see it sourced directly from print media and their primary sources. With youtube and internet, people feel obligated to free news/info thus forego paying so many once comprehensive established institutions of the fourth estate in the face of increasingly unhappy shareholders have to halt massively diminishing profits and downsizing, have to resort to sensational headlines that encourage clicks (to see new distinguishable ads) because firms like Buzzfeed are discovered to have been ten times more profitable for ten years. Not talking about Cnn and kin which are well.. what they've always been. That stuff is very important because the most damning information about massive corruption in government/corps is used by Jon and Stephen free from NYT or WSJ whose staff spent unspeakable cash and years investigating each nook and cranny to get that shocking information out to the public sphere in the first place. Holding leaders of the world accountable through that kind of work is happening less and less because rather than read the report initially published by them in support, people will now choose instead to watch their favorite youtube/tv commentator summarize it. This is instrumental to a functioning democracy where government is held accountable for their shit, so don't let all of CNN's yellow journalism and the occasional mistake by oftentimes the same reporter in print media (in modern times, amplified extensively because there is always many opponents who want to dispute the integrity of various print investigations) destroy your appreciation for the real journalism out there with primary sources and facts. Buy a sub to your local paper peeps!

@@tylertone2776 whatever. I'll just watch Trevor Noah ... bc too many words. (kidding ... kinda. but not really. but only sorta, bc your entire post just makes BEESKIES' point: that only a tiny fraction would read your post. "Holding leaders of the world accountable" would mean 2018 would have looked far different. so BEESKIES is correct. that isn't an indictment or endorsement btw.)

@@tylertone2776 feelings don't care about you're feelings..

@@tylertone2776 yes, daily show borrows a lot of their material from print media. that is true. they have always said as much. they never pretended to be investigation reporters. However, you also have to remember that print media is not very popular. had daily show not picked up many of these stories, they would not be consumed by the public. it would be great if cable news like fox or cnn did the same thing. but they rarely do. and when they do they heavily distort it in order to present a product suitable for their audience. the difference is, when the daily show does it, you are actually better informed.

That’s why I watch Stewart’s children (Stephen Colbert and John Oliver) rather than the news. Now if only the Republicans could have a well crafted political comedy show for me to watch so I can enjoy both sides of politics.

Spot on bruh

Damn!!!

That's probably the most genius sentence I have seen here on RU-vid. Thank you! 😂

👌👌😂😂

Progress is from the latin pro gradi meaning "walking forward". Congress is from the latin con gradi meaning "walking together".

Anona Moose not that hard.....your country is the joke of the free world...not the leader of it

Erfan Moshtagh Canada is a joke? That's not nice, eh.

Anona Moose thats why americans who actually travel to europe use the canadian flag side by side ehhhh.......travel the real world loser...research polls ....do something un-American and get an education

Erfan Moshtagh You sound confused.

Agreed. Amazing. What will we do without him?

littleblueclovers this is so funny to me cause I'm german

@@Dumpknoedel hey, I'm swiss

@@Dumpknoedel not very funny to me, our king used to own an African country. doesn’t tickle my funny bone.

kuruptzZz On the down side, we would have to do without the humor after he wins :-)

kuruptzZz landslide win easy

kuruptzZz pretty ironic you say that since he's so sick of politics lol

Ralph Bernhard why would he do that, a president with a sense of humor sounds like an awesome idea.

Rainbow Pandaa Granted, as long as Russia changes from Putin to the best Russian comedian, North Korea and Iran follow suit, the IS hire Charlie Hebdo as consultants, Bill Maher becomes president of Israel, etc. Boy, I'll be there, and personally follow every summit, G8 forum (or is that now the G7 again?) and laugh my ass off :-) Wouldn't that just be great. No more guns and wars. Just "politicians" squaring off with the podium....(dream..)

Until he interviewed C Rice and H Clinton in 2022. Sad to see

I figure the spelling "John" is more common than "Jon"

Joseph Krol but that’s not his name? It’s literally says right there “the daily show with JON Stewart”

@@Kuzo53 Is it possible you're one of those people who read any kind of word - or at least any kind of simple enough word - and then spells it correctly forever? I'm like that myself but many people aren't. And some people aren't even like that when it comes to names. They just don't remember how a name is spelt and just write out the name they have in their memory. Possibly spelling the name in several different ways depending on the day. It's weird but it happens a lot. There must be people who keep misspelling "Gandalf" after having read Lord of the Rings several times and having read all kinds of things about the trilogy.

***** Which would possibly allow you to have a 12 mile zone from Guantanamo Bay....... which does NOT extend until, as it is in the south of the island, while Havanna is in the north.

yakumo961 If they own the oceans, why did the Indian Navy have to defend merchant ships in the Gulf of Aden from Somali pirates? They exercise control and flex their muscles in their backyard. Not anywhere in the world that happens to have salt-water.

Get a fucking life, will you?!!! Carribean=salt water..... Besides, it might be their backyard, but it is still illegal by law. What would people do if Germany just decided to send their Bundeswehr all over Poland and act according to their own rules there?

yakumo961 Well, given the world's prejudice towards Germany, there'd be that thing we had a couple of times now. Those with power make the rules. It's just our misfortune that that power resides in the hands of the morally bankrupt. But my point was (and is) that the US doesn't 'own 70% of the Earth's surface'. That's just daft.

Get a fucking life, will you?!!! Correct answer. Everything, at least it seems that way, is a function of power. I do not know what prejudice against Germany you are talking about. USA has overthrown more democracies post WWII than any other nation, and has armed and bankrolled more gangsters, drug lords, madmen and mass murderers than any other country in history.

roseslikemusic did we seriously not fucking sign that?

lessligher lol Thank u

@@Mohamed-jb9yx just to follow up ... US also signed TPP (and failed to ratify). just like US has signed NAFTA 2.0 (and hasn't yet ratified)

Jacob Peterson That’s being broken

oh seems you were wrong. no one saw that coming

Most of Jon's segments have aged well, and stand relevant even today.

@@Peter-ff1tp English is not my first language. RU-vid is available worldwide, my friend.

+Joshua Chavez they try

oh lol

I truly agree with you

it's always easier to sit and mock others when you yourself aren't making the decisions

#Colbert&StewartForPresident

😂

leonardimas1 yup he's one of the best comedian in US that's for sure

Nah, don't call it that. Here in 'Murica, we prefer the term "defenders of freedom." When we use drones to strike and kill innocent civilians, we're just protecting freedom. When we invade other countries with no clear reason and destabilize them to the point where an extremist group can sweep in and occupy half of that country once we leave, we're protecting freedom. When we insist on having our military in every goddamn corner of the globe (with many of our servicemen misbehaving in unethical and often criminal ways), we're simply there to protect your freedom. You should be grateful that we in 'Murica do so much to keep you free =)

lol

+ZhangtheGreat ok something is very wrong here!! mind playin tricks on me?

Lennie Godber Don't forget John Oliver!

***** John Oliver is actually British :)

Lina Lafif I'll just leave this here: "It was very, very difficult to get that green card, It was an incredible painful, traumatic experience. And if it was that difficult for someone like me, then you know the immigration system is ridiculous in this country." - John Oliver

Lennie Godber Try Doug Stanhope.

Vyctor_ Bad idea. Stanhope really really really really wants to be the new Bill Hicks. Unfortunately he lacks both the wit and the vision.

Dante Da Vinci go back to your star wars kid.

+Dante Da Vinci I clicked because it was said Jon Stewart. What a coincidence!

+Dante Da Vinci I hope you enjoyed it though

princesslibra20 I actually did, guy is funny.

Dante Da Vinci You learn a lot about the true face of politics too. I also discovered him by accident 2 or so years ago. This is great past time for me.

ILove Grande` She wanted to build a no fly zone in Syria, which most likely lead to war with Syria and Russia.

They do, though.

+Dave Dreyer (unclejedimaster) They don't need to. They're in districts and/or states where their seats are completely safe. The only way they stand a chance at losing their seat is if they face a significant challenge in the primaries, and that almost never happens.
