You're listening to Comedy Central. John Stewart here. Unbelievably exciting news. My new podcast, The Weekly Show. We're going to be talking about the election, economics, ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. It's no secret what's happening, you know?

If it were a secret, it would be harder to try and understand, you know, Donald Trump versus the squad and him telling them to go back to where they came from and send them back and the whole thing telling them they can leave if they complain. It would be a lot easier to deal with if you didn't the most un-American people possible, right? And you can disagree with the views, you know, like Ilhan, Omar has said some controversial things. You know, Okazio Cortes has a different idea of America, which is not un-American. You know, Ayana Presley, I think the crowd didn't boo because they don't know her, and also if you've seen her, she's got the most centrist views of the four. But regardless of that, they're still Americans.

You know what I mean? That's what America's always been about fundamentally is having that ability to have that discourse and different ideas and then you, the ideas fights it out. You don't kick the people out because they don't agree with the ideas. In fact, I believe part of America's story's their their their their their their their their their their their their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their is their, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thioleteen't, thiolomea, thiolomea, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. That's, thi. That's, thi. That's, thi. That's, thi. That's, thi. That's, thi. That's, thi. That's, thi. That's, the. That's, thee. That's, they's, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're they're they're they're they're theatsea. In fact, I believe part of America's story is the people coming here because where they were, the people were like, why don't you leave because of those shitty, they were like, you don't like, you don't like the ideas, leave and they're like, we're gonna go somewhere where people don't say this, you know what they have a different idea for what America should be. And then his plan, and then he ties them to the presidential candidates,

and then it becomes a race about, do you love America, do you not love America? He appeals specifically to that portion of white voters who've determined the electoral college in the last election. He tries, and that's what shapes the election. And what's tough is, is that on the one hand, you almost know, like, AOC, I'ma Presley, the squad, you almost know that like, oh, they, there's like different messaging that they

could use to counter that narrative, but then they would have to bend almost in a way to the will of Trump. And it's like, you don't want to do that. But what sucks about America is you've got the electoral college. So it's like, do you run the best campaign for the country? Or do you try and do things that politically help you to win those three swing states? And that's, I feel like, eternally going to be the candidate for all of America. You're trying to game the system. You know, you're trying to put in that little cheat code, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, A, B, A, B. You know, that's what you're trying to do.

And as long as that's the case, I don't think you will be in a healthy space. It will always be a contri' the most people. I don't care about minorities. Because in these states, I win these people, I win it all. And that's the plan. And I know it sounds like a crazy theory, but it's a hunch I have. And it's also something that he tweeted. So, yeah.
