Charlie Rose - STEWART / HALPERIN & FALLOWS

[abcefg9674]

god i love him

[brysonhendricks]

he plays the lib duchy bag so great

[jackson32]

His silence about gaza is so telling, he will not say ANYTHING against the massacre of over a 1000 civilians . He has not said one thing against Israel which is a brutal, genocidal, apartheid state, and won't in the future. If you just look at what kind of people are around him, it does not inspire confidence, he would not have put them there is they didn't reflect his policies.

[YafaiGirl]

I love you Jon...

[cLeAnPLasticSun]

Charlie Rose is an amazing interviewer.

[TheGreenRaja]

Fact: You, Sir, are a moron. Pardon my French..

[binladidaden]

so you hate jews we get it.

[kroos87]

Your last fact, a little funny laughing at ignorant people like you. Yet again, it's sad because of people like you.

[jackson32]

Funny, three ad hominem attacks on me but no attempt to refute what I say.

[InsaneWombat]

lol. ok:

FACTOID!!!!! your wrong and your a putz.

FACTOID!!!!! Anglo Saxtons are destroying the rights and morals of native amreicans.

FACTOID!!!!! Anal sex is good.

[jackson32]

I rest my case.

[DrCynic1]

Fact: Stewart has been more critical of israel than almost anyone on tv. You hear what you want and talk a lot of BS.

[jackson32]

Tons of fascists and warmongers, a veritible whos who of US politics is invited onto his show only to have him make a little fun of them (these are not funny topics) and not seriously challenge them. Sure he's a comedian, but to invite people like that onto your show and not challenge them is wrong.

The whole show is idiotic, they are encouraging us to laugh about things that are not funny.

Newsflash: the zionist media don't give tv shows to people who seriously expose what is going on.

[jackson32]

Lets see how much Stewart talks out against Obama. The messiah is only slightly better than Bush.

voted for the bailout

wants to INCREASE military spending

said nothing against the massacre of 1000+ civilians in gaza

wants more troops in Afghanistan

voted to keep the Patriot Act

voted for FISA after he said he wouldn't (right after he won the nomination) FISA is 100% fascist legislation

voted for the resolution supporting Israel's 2006 invasion

he will keep 90% of what Bush did in place

[Paulginz]

COME ON, He's been in for 2 weeks. Cut him some slack.

[DrCynic1]

Seriously, John Stewart? You need to go after Limbaugh Hannity and the like. They're much worse.

[jackson32]

True, but I stand by what I said, Jon Stewart does not go after Obama despite Obama being almost as bad as Bush. Obama's administration is full of jewish zionists and warmongers, these people are no better than the people around Bush, if you don't believe me do some research on it.

Another thing to consider is these people have a long history of controlling opposition by leading the opposition. Who gave him his job? Jews. Stewart himself is jewish and that is not his real name.

[jackson32]

I'm a libertarian so don't get the idea that I'm saying all this because I'm a republican, not that you implied that. True fox news and much of the mainstream media was disgraceful the way they cowtowed to Bush, but now we are seeing the opposite, now MOST of the media is praising Obama to the skies, meanwhile as I said he is going to leave 90% of what Bush did in place. To think that the problem is just the republicans is simply wrong, democrats are FULLY complicit with what happened.

[Paulginz]

(However, yes it's true, the democrats are complicit, and in a few months time the situation might still be the same... but I think it's only fair to wait a few months before dishing out judgement)

[jackson32]

I don't think it's true that you can't criticize him yet.

First of all he has taken a bunch actions that are horrible, see my comments below. Then there's the niggling little problem that there are a whole bunch of laws and policies of the Bush administration that he has shown no signs of reversing. So I guess when Bush screws us over it's bad but when Obama continues those policies it's good.

The whole tone of this debate shows that you are not really concerned with what Obama is doing.

[Paulginz]

I thought the discussion was about what he has (or rather, hasn't) done since he's president.

I believe that he will reverse most of the bush policies that he promised to reverse.

On the other hand, yes, he did indeed support and vote for a number of rubbish bills, FISA not being the least.

I still live with the small hope that he will pursue war-crime charges against bush, his administration and the whole thing will snowball to a pile of heads, leading to a new era of political accountability

[jackson32]

"I thought the discussion was about what he has (or rather, hasn't) done since he's president."

His actions before he was president are completely relevant.

"he did indeed support and vote for a number of rubbish bills"

How kind. I wouldn't call the Patriot Act and FISA rubbish, I would call them fascist.

"leading to a new era of political accountability"

As if there was ever a time when government was accountable, and what have you been smoking to believe something like that.

.

[Paulginz]

"As if there was ever a time when government was accountable."

Maybe not in the US, but in the world definitely. (a LONG way back though).

"I would call them fascist."

Indeed.

If you want to talk about absolutes, of course Obama is a mainstream private-interest-backed, power-hungry immoral politician who is not the best choice to lead the country. (as if there's many politicians who aren't)

He's still a HUGE improvement over bush.

'Bit like choosing between rape and death, but still better.

[jackson32]

"He's still a HUGE improvement over bush."

How is he that different?

On all the important issues he has been just as bad as Bush.

Civil Liberties - he is not revoking the Patriot Act, the Military Commisions Act, torture will still go on around the world, he he will keep at least 50,000 troops in Iraq while waging a heightened war against Afghanistan and Pakistan. He is belligerent to Russia just like the neocons. He will continue the bogus war on terror.

continued

[Paulginz]

Still.

I'm just saying that bush was so bad that by comparison Obama seems like Jesus.

It's kind of a switch from being raped anally to having a dick shoved down your throat, but still an improvement.

[jackson32]

This business of voting for the lesser of 2 evils, is a very bad idea and plays right into what they wanted us to do in the first place.

When you consider how little difference there has been between any of the the candidates in the last 50 years, you realize that the game is rigged. When the ruling elites that want to enslave you give you a choice betweeen Stalin and Hitler, the rational thing to do is look for another option.

[Paulginz]

"When the ruling elites that want to enslave you give you a choice betweeen Stalin and Hitler, the rational thing to do is look for another option."

Sigh.

Sorry, but I'm a defeatist.

There was no way an indipendent could have won the election (no matter what I did personally).

There isn't the right social climate for a revolution (and for a revolution to be effective under the current level of surveillance you need more than 10-20% of the population actively fighting.)

Hope's the culprit.

[jackson32]

"Sorry, but I'm a defeatist."

That's not smart.

"There was no way an independent could have won the election"

Seeing as theres not a dimes worth of difference between the demopublicans, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by voting 3rd party. You can tell by the way they treat 3rd party candidates that it is the last thing they want, which is exactly why you should do it. Playing their game you will NEVER win.

Doing what you can, even if it only a little is the wise course.

[jackson32]

Although Bush was a disaster for the economy, Obama will be no better, he's already OK'd the bailout, and now wants 'stimulate' the economy by taxing people more (or inflating the money supply) to pay for wasteful pork that will lengthen the depression. We already see attempts to take peoples guns, and he will not stop the completely immoral war on drugs. Also he is threatening world peace by claiming Iran is a threat when this is just a carbon copy of the propaganda put out about Iraq.

[Paulginz]

Sorry, but you still fail to point a single bad thing Obama did/will do that Bush wouldn't had he had a third term.

This seems to indicate that Obama is at least better than Bush.

He's definitely better than bush wrt to drugs (not perfect) promissed to:

Replace first prison sentences with rehab

Reduce sentences. (especially for crack)

He might even move marijuana decisions to the state level.

He can shout down Iran as much as he wants, as long s he doesn't start shooting it down.

[jesus45069]

John Stewart is a very intelligent person. You can tell when he interviews people on his show.

[Ullygirldk]

I LOVE HIM<3

[aurchis13]

Wish this guy made some more public appearances other than the daily show..He's really interesting when he's not tied to the writers jokes (which is great as well though)

[halomolim]

He uses comedy to educate people! He also wants to save his natio from any further failures!

[xxxxsjdxxxx]

LOL (4:42) he called bush a terrorist, i love jon.

[ChazMcCool]

Actually called him a tourist

[fiercebadrabbit12]

handsome devil...

[MusicJew158]

He is a comedian hence the loud and silly but why can't one be both smart and silly. That is what makes this guy so awesome!

[AntonFibes]

Jon should do these kind of shows instead of his regular show.

He is so loud and silly on the daily show, he could do much better than that

[Sconz32]

I'm just going to go ahead and say Jon was great before I've even watched it - he always is.

[youvebeenthunderstru]

"When I live in silence the voice goes 'you've failed everyone and everyone that loves you' and then I have to make the face"

[haxmya]

Jon Stewart a class act as always.

[utubephilosopher]

That first clip of the senator bad mouthing the newscaster was priceless!

[dawngail66]

"He will think to rename things"

[mikesternberg]

excellent vid! spot on about bush and how he uses media manipulation to lie to us and no I am not democrat

[deanlowe]

Bad Monkey!

[Bacbi]

I think it's kinda funny that the only "celebritys" that makes fun of them selves useing their religion is the jews :p

U don't often see a christian or a muslim doing that :P lol

[lukzbro777]

Poland LOVES you Jon :) I keep on rockin' :)Obama 4 president !

[cookstore123]

Way to go!

[existenceasperceived]

Thats pretty crazy

[123camara123]

i love jon stewart (L)

[tigmal]

I think he can only do what he does because he's  grounded.

[1keryl]

how is stewart still so freaking grounded??

[PL0PAL0P]

Stewart needs to meet Jeremy Paxman. Paxman is the closest thing to the person Stewart says the news in America needs.

[blatspanner]

a man of genuine,workable ideas.bravo.

[brendanheard]

without jon stewart ...you would have a deeply darker country

[modernlifechews]

Jon Stewart is the most important man in politics.

[RiseRobotRise1]

what he says is so true.

[shamisenmario]

has the daily show been cancelled?

howcome there are no more clips of it on yootoob?

[mjg19999]

because the mainstream media is controlled by Power elite

[pnknbny]

not cancelled. but now you have to go to the daily show website to see clips. stupid viacom.

[hanananah14]

nah, u can actual go to Aol video and its all there

[jammoexii]

If you're in Canada you can watch most episodes in full, I forget the website, but it's owned by the Comedy Network.

[karlosdeestocolmo]

"He doesn't engage in flip-flopery"

Hahahahaha!!!!

[TheConciseStatement]

America knows Paddington Bear?!

[bitterfly77]

I'm not sure how prevalent or recognized the reference to Paddington Bear is over here, but folks who grew up in the late 1970's/early 1980's tend to know of Paddington because it was a regular sketch on Nickelodeon's Pinwheel - along with some other weird British imports that occasionally still give me nightmares.

[TheConciseStatement]

lol, just the idea of a big loud kids show opening with a sign reading PINWHEEL would make me think PINHEAD, and would have probably given me nightmares too.

[coyotemadness]

I'm a 22 year old American and I know Paddington

[TheConciseStatement]

I have to say, I stand completely corrected - there was obviously a time when little, humble and quiet Paddington Bear had taken America by storm. The Richard Curtis of the cute teddy world, if you will.

[sakredfire]

I'm 22 as well and I know Paddington.

[mrspacley]

oh man what was that british mouse that was a spy? danger mouse? dam n i remeber watching that at my nan's when i was like 4

[TheConciseStatement]

Bloody hell?! Now that's impressive. Bonus points if you can remember his high-pitched friend Penfold.

[visceralgristle]

And Silus Greenback

[2Jax]

The worst human behavior is to start believing things when people say them for long enough and loud enough without questioning what's being said.

Go Jon! There's a lot of people right behind you buddy.

Peace.

[Moviebro]

John Stewart shows 24/7 news for what it is = CRAP.Especially all things Faux News.

[marciodpsh]

I wish Charlie Rose would just shut up and let Stewart talk without all those interruptions...

[Theycallmetomu]

I don't know, I like the idea of being able to challenge someone to a duel. I wouldn't DO it, simply because I suck at combat, but still.

[Woodard51]

When i said "real news" in my last statement, I'm not talking about Fox or CNN. BBC is real news, in my opinion. And I shouldn't have used the word entertainment, all news is entertaining, and sometimes scary.

[Psither]

Hear, hear.

[Moviebro]

I enjoy BBC news too.

[Woodard51]

Jon is smart enough to realize that it's rediculous arguing over who is right in how one presents the news. Anyone should tell which one is entertainment and which one is real news. You can't make money off of anything, but conflict, comedy, and intrigue when it comes to popluar American news. The "emotional baggage" and atmosphere that the anchor brings about attracts the certain kinds of viewers that watches his or her program. Jon wins this fight in my book. You rule Jon.

[rebmiknivek]

Jon Stewart's "act" is little more than a critical approach to the principles of governance as stated by Niccolo Machiavelli in The Prince, published in 1513 and it's still topical !

So why can't politicians be nice and honest or be made to act and communicate honestly by the media? ...to find out read the book....you can bet Jon has !!!

[edictzero0]

'delivering a political narrative disguised as [sort of] a news program i don't think necesarily helps'

lol when he said that about fox news he was pretty much describing his own show, then he goes on to catch himself

[Pelonetillo]

yea but he does that on purpose, assuming people know that his show is comedy. he doesnt pretend that his show features real journalism. fox pretends all day long.

[commissar1969]

Bingo, Pelonetillo. You nailed it!

[jezzerad]

I just noticed, did youtube always have advertisements next to the videos? . . .

[celshader]

They started out with Adsense I think. Now they have a more sophisticated advertising system. It pays for all this.

[samkhan90]

bush - bad monkey

[rmendoza13]

He's so funny and so politically charged, it's difficult not to like him, even if you disagree with him (which is hard, given how things are right now).

[ishmaeldaro]

I like Jon Stewart's tuberculosis line.

[refuzd]

he's the Heart and Soul, jon stewart

[aefleury]

He has these real guests and conversations, but kind of shies away from any of the responsibility he's speaking about by saying his is just a comedy show. Don't get me wrong, I love The Daily Show and watch it all the time. But in this way, Jon is not being completely honest.

[tezcatbus]

He's just not buying into the whole famous-person-as-role-model media game. He's not a political pedagogue, and his continued insistence that he is not a grand leader of a new world order does him and his show considerable credit. He's not. He's a comedian. He's not another talking head telling you what to think.

[nurbsenvi]

"just a comedy show" is his biggest strength and defense. He can attack anyone anyway he like and and when the opponent get angry or serious and try to get back at him he can just say "hey I'm just comedian" it's very smart.

he is invincible.

[youvebeenthunderstru]

So you're saying that he's just using it as a defense? It IS just a comedy show...

[nurbsenvi]

If it is just a comedy show than it's one hell of influential one at that.

[youvebeenthunderstru]

Not denying that, but the shows aims are mainly to entertain. They don't consider themselves a news show because they're not. Is it influential and inspirational? Sure.

[niemanickurwa]

They did a survey recently and it showed that people who watch the daily show already know most of the stuff they talk about, if they didn't then they wouldn't get most the jokes. It's inspirational/stops us from killing ourselves over the hypocrisy of government by making us laugh at it.

[MesaMIV]

That was a Pew Research study. The average Stewart/Colbert viewer is more aware of modern issues than O'Reily viewers.

[niemanickurwa]

The average potato is more aware of modern issues than O'Reily viewer.

[utubephilosopher]

But that doesn't mean that they are getting their news from Colbert or Stewart.

[abrightside]

Yeah I agree that the people who watch The Daily Show/The Colbert Report already know about the issues they're talking about, otherwise you wouldn't understand the jokes at all. I definitely didn't watch them as much a year ago, but now that I'm old enough to vote I'm more interested in current events and I've been watching their shows a ton more.

[theuniverse053211a]

You're right and essentially that is why Stewart won the award he acheived. In contrast, the Daily Show is so damn funny prominently because it actually reveals reality for what it is, ridiculus. So when people watch these people who contribute to the countries growth and prosperity, it is humorus to see how insane they navigate (which is hysterical at the same time.)

[aefleury]

What I consider real is the real guests he has on the show and the real, serious conversations he has with them. Of course there are some jokes sprinkled in to keep the kids' attention, but he does hold serious conversations on society and politics with real political and societal leaders.

[lebaneseameer]

Actually, i saw in an interview is that he just likes to make people laugh when he makes those people laugh! When he hears silence from the audience, something in him tells him to make a joke! It just bugs him inside! He started out as a comedian, so I understand where he's coming from!!

[aefleury]

However, there is the hard truth that there probably are a many people for whom this is the only source of news they get due to the fact that they don't watch real news. Also, you can't have serious guests like political leaders talking about serious issues and not take some responsibility for providing serious content. To have these kinds of guests and content and try to shirk any responsibility while attacking other news media is a double standard that I think Jon avoids or ignores.

[phatmarley]

friend-

i think you're missing the point. jon stewart say his show is a comedy show, because it is. stewart takes "news" and makes fun of how fuct our system is and how people feed into it in all these perverted ways. this so called "real news" you speak of, where the hell do you get that?? what do you consider real?? in my opinion, jokes and all, stewart does a way better job and cutting the bullshit, than any other news source, which has one goal, to make money.

[BentonRox]

No I don't think that's the case. Study after study of the typical Daily Show demographic has shown that they are actually MORE aware politically because they see something on the show and it encourages them to go out and learn more, if for no other reason than to be in on the joke. I've been know to glibly say that the Daily Show is the only "news" show I watch, because my primary sources for news are print media. Stewart's sole responsibility is to make us laugh for 120 minutes per week.

[sakredfire]

Exactly...what I see on his show kind of flags the important stories of the day for me (besides the ones that show up on my comcast homepage). Then, I go and read more about them online, and look for commentary on blogs.

[aefleury]

What do you mean, that they're over-hyped? It's probably true. It's just a little comedy show and no show like it should get so much attention from from the point of view of serious issues. Jon has stated repeatedly that they are just a comedy show and people should not turn to them for real news and information to guide them.

[pankyhankhanky]

i just love watching Jon Stewart talk. my GOD he's brilliant.

[carpal24]

I am probably opening up myself to all sorts but I think Democracy now! is a credible and non-partisan news provider.

[ctzackula]

Way, Amy Goodman is probably one of the most beautiful people ever.

[gabecollett]

shes soulful

[misscar01ina]

Charlie Rose talks too much

[pugnpunk]

brilliant video...never comment....but

THANK U

[bigsid920]

I remember Charlie Rose back in the early 80's on CBS in the middle of the night.  Today Charlie Rose has become such a inside the beltway corporate hack. To bad.

[redsun12300]

Jon stewart is amazing. He is so knowledgeable and humble. I wish there are more people like him in regular news shows. We don't have to watch the likes of Hannity, Hume or Oreilly.

[Truthiness231]

Didn't anyone listen to what John said between 31:00 and 32:00? Bah, screw it: John > FSM!

[barb99999]

knilch22: You're right -- and the best thing about these is that Viacom won't be vandalizing them.  Thank you Charlie Rose.
