Hey, everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. I was a huge fan of wrestling growing up, right?
Starting point is 00:01:35 And one thing I hope is that the Democrats don't fall into the same trap that many wrestlers used to fall into around the Royal Rumble. And that was like, if you ever watched the Royal Rumble, you know what I'm thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, to to to to to to to, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, thi, listen, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, wrestlers used to fall into around the Royal Rumble. And that was like, if you ever watch the Royal Rumble, you know what I'm talking about? You would know who's supposed to win and who's like most likely to win, but then because there'll be so many people in the ring and it will be so chaotic, like everyone will be focusing on the big show and then then like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, their, thi, their, their, their, thi, their, their, their, thi, thrown, their, thi, they, they, they, they, they, their, their, their, their, their, their, you, you, their, they....................... So, th.... So, th.. So, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, they. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to.e.e. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the to. the their, they. to. the next thing you know like, Ray Mysterio wins. And I'm serious, like, the Democrats need to be careful that they don't have the same shit show that the Republicans had, where you've got 18 people. Because honestly, and I honestly believe, one of the biggest factors of Donald Trump becoming president
Starting point is 00:02:16 was that there were 17 people on stage with him, which meant you only had enough time to get soundbites from everyone and Trump is the king of soundbites. You want to break down policy, Trump doesn't know how to do that, but a soundbite he's the king. So when you go what are you going to do? what are going to do? Ted Cruz, what are you going to do? Ted Cruz, what are you going to do? Ted Cruz, what are you going to do? We're going to do? We're going thagage, th. th. th. times, th. to to to to to to to to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to to do, to do, the to their, their, their, their, their, the, their, what, what, what, what, what, what, what their, what, what, what to, what to, what their, what their, what their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, the. the. the. the. the. thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, thea, the. So, the, t you going to do? Build a wall! It works. And that's why he did well, one of the reasons in my opinion that he did really well, because when it got down to like only three candidates, then people were like, wow, this guy doesn't know anything, but it was too late. And so with the Democrats, I do think they've got to be careful of not having a world where they spend so much time fighting each other unrealistically that by the time it comes to like the primaries there's no
Starting point is 00:03:08 passion people have like you know there's so much in fighting the so I've never understood that about America I won't lie the things that your politicians say about each other on the way to the race and then all of a sudden like change at like for instance Bernie and an like the to. Because I've never been in America for a presidential candidate like race. I've watched, I've watched primaries from another country but when you're here you see the nitsy gritty. And you had like Bernie the whole time he's like you can't vote for Hillary. She's in with the big banks. She's bought by major corporations.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Don't vote for Hillary. And then he lost and then after he came he's like we got a vote for Hillary and I'm like but what about the big banks are the big banks are the big banks not a thing anymore Bernie and I get that all of them I mean Republicans that was all the Trump they're like he's an imbecile we can't vote and then he became the candidates they're like it's time for us to get behind our candidates but I don't think I th th th th I th I th I th I th I th I th I thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the the thi thi. thi. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their thi. thi. thi thi thi thi thi ti ti ti ti. time time time ti. ti. ti. ti. ti ti. ti thi thiusionment with a lot of voters. I think it makes people skeptical. I think it makes it seem like politics is about theater as opposed to like real issues. For me, if you don't believe someone's fit to be president, they don't become fit because they beat you. Do you know what I mean? They're unfit.
Starting point is 00:04:18 It's as simple as that. So So, Democrats need to figure out, get into a room with each other and be like, all right, who's really running, who's not running, who's like, you're gonna come out with 40 people, it's gonna be shit, because Trump has his thing on lock. He's rolling with these people, his people have accepted him, right? Remember back in the day Republicans, we're gonna hold our nose and vote for him? So are you guys still holding your nose? What, what, what nose? What's is is is? What's? th is, th is, th is, th is, thi's, thi's, thi's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi.................... So, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to, to, to, to to to tooi. So, tooi. So, too. Demo, too. Demo, too, too, thi our nose and vote for him. It's like, are you still holding your nose? What, what nose? What are you talking about? We didn't even know there's a smell. The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Ears Edition.
