    Interesting
    I’m not big into politics or specific parties, but with the status of everything at the moment this podcast is an interesting place to hear intelligent conversation about it all.
  • chloes mm
    Sorry Jon
    I listen to your podcast weekly and really enjoy your style of interviewing. I watch you every Monday and enjoy your comedy and your way of making a point. BUT this weeks episode about liberalism went good for me until you reached your Elon Musk portion of the interview. Do I believe in reorganizing the government? YES! But not the way it’s being done. Hearing ANYONE defend Musk at this point is a big turnoff for me, I admit to not finishing the episode because it was going off the rails for me.

    Run for Office
    Please run for office. We need your eloquence, humility, and empathy.
  • alalrian
    Stewart is curious
    Serious show but still funny, at times. Stewart is an intellectual and ‘man of the people.’ Has become one of the few podcasts I can still listen to after Trump’s return to office bc it provides more than mere outrage and handwringing.
  • prijdaniroo
    Disappointing
    I just listened His discussion with Psaki. I was quite surprised at the emptiness of Jon’s thinking. I really had high expectations, but to hear Jon talk about what the difference in principles are between the republican and democratic parties was mind boggling. He seems to yearn for the dictatorial approach while the majority of sane folks see the dangers with that. The voters were voting for who they thought was going to help their daily lives ( the ones who didn’t vote for the Dems this time). If they get what they want from the current government, they will continue voting for them. If they don’t, they will either not vote or vote Dems the next time. It is a simple as that. They don’t really care about this efficiency stuff. Psaki was much more thoughtful and willing to consider other thoughts. Jon was truly disappointing
  • Cluttershark
    What a gem
    Jon is the best at asking questions most people don’t even think about. Love the comedic side, too,
  • Marquis de Texas
    Question & Recommendation
    Mr. Stewart, with state and local politics being so critical why don’t you interview state and local politicians who stand out? You always have nationally recognized leaders. I recommend Texas Representative James Talarico
  • AustinBuff27
    Disappointed
    Really not much here other than a continued dose of TDS. You could get the same information on MSNBC. Hearing Psaki talk about how biased the right wing media is and how the left wing calls “balls and strikes” made me spit my coffee out and fall on the floor laughing. Jon Stewart the comedian is back.
  • ChuckD833
    I worked out what Dems need to do…call me Jon
    Great podcast. Thank god for the swearing. Intelligent interviewer; would like harder hitting questions to the dems. On a separate note, Jon, I’ve solved the dems problems. I know what to do. We have the Republicans right where we need them….
  • Mrsteevee
    Meh
    I wish Jon had more centrist views. I am tired of the polarization. It’s exhausting
  • cmdm
    NOPE NO NEVER
    remember when jon went away? DO THAT AGAIN!
  • Moki W
    Jon Stewart NEEDS to run for President!!!
    I switched to Independent / 3rd party. Dems and America needs Jon Stewart as president
  • Lilly101669
    Needs Opposing Views
    Love Jon, but he needs to to have guests from both sides of the political spectrum. Simply having Dems on to whine is boring. Needs to represent both voices of America.
  • lisalfarin
    Outreach means CONNECTING unified values D’s Fight to Produce for Americans.
    Connecting to the day to day struggles/fears would visually show voters of swing states with simple accomplishments. In states like PA where there are over 18,000 billboards across the state, if they had pictures of local workers standing in front of the road or bridge the Infrastructure bill invested in. People needed to see how the Dems had improved each part of their daily life to make it safer and easier to complete their hard/long days. Ie., their bridge will not fall down and your neighbor had a great job fixing our state’s services.
  • kat.houston
    Thank you!
    Informative and fun. Thank you for trying to fight back the dark. 🙏🏻 We MUST end Citizens United. Please keep talking about it! It is how we got where we are now.
  • Truly66
    Until good Dems get mad at bad Dems we’re screwed.
    So much for speaking truth to power! Im sooooo tired of listening to discourse of how bad Trump is. Psaki was part of the problem with n the summer of 2024, she won’t or more likely can’t see how bad Dems are at this, and how good Trump is. Jon, please get mad and call out these softies or we’re all dead. ☹️
  • Graaavy
    Jon is awesome, but…
    Please don’t forget that democrats and the progressive left were not in unilateral control of the federal government since the 80s. Yes, the party has “stale vibes” today, but it’s also the party that has had to either compromise or take losses from the right on the very key issues you speak about today. Drug prices being high isn’t b/c democrats allowed it to happen, it’s b/c the pharmaceutical lobby persuaded lawmakers to vote poorly!!
  • AndresBaja
    Nice, but
    could use some new framing. Can’t count how many times we’ve heard “analog in a digital world” or the term “efficacy.”
  • pnagar
    Thank you for exposing Hakeem Jeffries
    Hakeem Jeffries has the personality of a radish. Jeez, he has no plan to tackle Republicans, no charm, so so bland. On another note, Jon, please go to Joe Rogan again.
  • Leff1980
    You need to get Sen. Nina Turner on.
    She needs to be the next voice of the Democratic Party.
  • Hotteddog
    Incredible
    Thank you, Jon, for your continually refreshing and insightful take on events and the current political climate!
  • Bizarro Crazy
    Jen Psaki
    Again: RWMedia! It’s the RW media! Yes, they have the machine, or as Hillary said “the vast RW conspiracy.” It’s a larger part of the long game you mentioned to overturn Roe vs Wade. The only way the Republicans could get there, to appoint their SCOTUS judges, and hypocritically deny the Dems, is because of RWM. And the RWM did this: used the stupidity/simplicity/ frustrations/anger/jadedness/etc of the American voters to the advantage of themselves (the wealthy RWM masters). While SO many people on the Left think/act like the American voters are smart, the Right thinks the sad truth, but says the opposite, while saying the liberals think they’re stupid. And of course, many liberals on social media are now happy to acknowledge that fact to their (avatars’) faces, proving that point no matter how often Democratic representatives praise the people. I don’t think THEY are so much the problem. The answer is to turn up the volume and the simplicity in the media that supports them, because they are the only legitimate party of any size. WE NEED LOUDER VOICES: time to get rich by attacking the rich.
  • MamaDiez
    Hakeem Jeffries
    Thank you Leader Jeffries! I would love an answer to Jon’s question; do we (Democrats, left leaning) have think tanks like the right does? Do we have our “Heritage Foundation”? Do we have people, smart people, working on our kind of Project 2029 where we have concrete plans of how to course correct to save and safeguard our democracy?
  • moby2023
    Knicks all day
    Hakeem Jeffries - please bring him back!! He’s the voice of the American people right now, thanks for having him on!
  • ❤️Hughes
    Jon For President
    Where is the voice of the Democrats? It’s Jon Stewart and it has been for a long time. You and Colbert saddle up, the time is NOW!
  • Mutzica
    Smart
    Jon Stewart is one of the smartest public figures out there. It’s refreshing to listen to him talk.
  • kt.d11
    Jon is a national treasure
    In a world full of self-absorbed MAGA supremacists, be a Jon. The man retired and opened an animal sanctuary. And this podcast shows exactly his personality: hilarious while trying to make a positive impact on the world. He truly makes me hopeful for mankind.
  • TeamBubblegum
    Disappointed
    Was a huge fan from the old Daily Show days. Got rid of my TV about 14 years ago, follow quite a few good podcasts, this one will not be among them unfortunately.
  • JMJWD
    Hakeem Jeffries interview
    Jon Stewart is a great interviewer. If there was a glimmer of hope about the existence of a credible plan from Democratic leadership( beyond “better messaging”) that HJ could explain, I did not hear it. Good news, John — great interview. Bad news, John — Democrats are not up to the challenge.
  • pissedthisweek
    Chris Christie
    This conversation proved that Jon Stewart would make a much better president than Christie ever would. Ugh. 5 stars for Jon, 3 or less for the guy talking out of both sides of his mouth.
  • boniejo
    Jon Stewart / AOC 2028
    Presidential Ticket!! Let’s do it!
  • 1GrumpyGal
    Chris Christie
    Appreciated your conversation. Glad to hear an interview where both parties are actively listening w/o interruption and actually seem to think about the responses. Even when you called him out about his support of Trump, respect that he answered and didn’t stop the interview and run away.
  • KamiCujo
    Grateful
    I beyond grateful to have Jon back. He’s been needed for my sanity! Bill Maher is great but Jon Stewart is my absolute favorite. People with the negative views about him….there’s enough negativity in the real world and the insults are unnecessary.
  • Ashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh1
    Jon a whooom Cleo?
    Ayyyyy I SEEE CHEATING SNAKE
  • H20011
    Fantastic!
    Love the show and the insights. I really enjoyed the Chris Christie interview - loved the offense/defense political strategies explained and started to understand why my sister in-law and others I work with, blindly supported Trump, even though his policies will hurt their pocketbooks - the price of eggs will be going up! Democrats have to be open to constructive criticism and be willing to change, in order to regain and retain the support of the majority of the American people and there needs to be room for moderate viewpoints or at least viewpoints that make sense to people.
  • Chessent
    Ranked Choice
    Love the show! Been following since I was a teenager when you started on the daily show and you’ve always been the voice of reason. Please do a show on ranked choice voting. I truly feel it’s the only way forward to get new ideas into our government. The only problem? The two party system has to willingly give up power for the betterment of the country. I wish I was still optimistic enough to believe that will ever happen though.
  • mary margaret rachael
    Thank you!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Such a great, respectful and enlightening interview with Chris Christie. Thank you, Jon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  • jtweb
    Tired of laughing at liberals getting owned
    Disappointed in how Jon covers politics these days. Still happy to giggle about how scared liberals are about fighting for this country. Meanwhile conservatives are waging an all out war on democracy and he and AOC are talking about Bidens exit being a disappointment? This war has nothing to do with policy, it’s about race, religion, class, and money. And liberals are getting their butts kicked by the moronic bullies. Stand up and fight! Screw the rules at this point, only liberals seem to care about them anyway. Jon is still funny, but jokes on liberals.
  • kat678800
    Chris Christie
    Wow DEI explained at its finest. Don’t understand how Chris doesn’t get it! I
  • Heidi S-T
    Sanity
    This show brings me sanity in an insane time. Thank you for speaking truth and calling out absurdity in a funny way!
  • pdw1961
    Gov. Christie
    Great interview with Gov. Christie! Keep em coming
  • marynute
    Love Jon Stewart
    I’ve really enjoyed this podcast. Thanks for the great interviews, but Chris Christie?! Why? I turned it off. In these crazy times we need new ideas and voices that will help us navigate the upside down world of Trump!
  • Christine from Santa Fe
    Thank Goodness
    Jon, Listening to your podcast is therapeutic…it is always comforting to hear another who is going thru the pain of the last election results. Thank you!
  • KANEDA!
    Keep up the good work Jon
    As a long time fan, thanks so much for what you are doing.
  • fsustp
    Great Insight but
    I just finished the Gov. Chris episode, one thing I noticed was how the Gov. kept stating the democrats didn’t have a plan, Vice President Kamala Harris laid out a fantastic plan, Mr. Stewart did not call Gov. Chris out on that. The issue that the Democrats have is they do not know how to speak to the American public. That is their weakness. Donald, with fellow republicans, talk to the American public like they’re idiots, Democrats keep speaking to them like they’re intelligent.
  • GetridofTs
    It makes me sad
    I respect Jon Stewart. In the old days he used to call out hypocrisy in the media and politicians on both sides. I don’t believe he actually believes in AOC, I think his apple show was terrible. He was just attacking people to push his agenda. I think he has had some good honest moments in his return to the daily show. But I wish he would show more strength and call out corruption and hypocrisy everywhere like he used to.
  • Kadan98
    Thank goodness for Jon
    I am so thankful to hear your take on the current chaos that is the “American Dream” that some would say is a nightmare. Your analysis with the right touch of sarcasm and wit brings light to this dreary and disturbing time.
  • @fatarae
    Great podcast
    Wow, can’t believe I just now discovered this podcast. Really terrific interview. AOC for President at some point in the future. Jon Stewart for Secretary of State? Love love love you both!
  • breen…
