You're listening to Comedy Central. 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. There's so many things for me about the caravan that throw me, right? Number one, the fact is the people are applying for asylum. And I don't know if you remember during the campaign. That was the number one thing Donald Trump said. He said, I'm all about the bad ombres kicking them out. He says, if you come in legally, then it's fine. If you follow the process, then it's fine. Now these people are like, hey, we're going to come in a big group because it's safer for us, and we're going to let everybody all in, but now Trump's like, they're illegal. It's like, but they're not even in yet. Yeah, but they want to be illegal. I can see.

How are you going to say people are illegal? Literally, on Fox News, they're like, these illegal immigrants, you can't be illegal when you're in your own country. That's the craziest to you in your house, you're going to be some random guy who's like sleeping in Nigeria, and then all of a sudden Trump's going to come to him and be like, you're illegal. Huh, what are you doing here? I know what your plans were. Trying to be illegal at a bio, I saw you.

They're not illegal. The people applying for asylum, which is a legal thing. And you know what, you know it really doesn't really really really doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't that doesn't that that that doesn't that that that that that that that that to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the.. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. toe. too. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to. And you know what, you know it really doesn't help that I, that I've picked up on is Fox makes it an antagonistic thing, but I've noticed other news networks in America specifically seem to focus on what the caravan means to America and less on what the the caravan means to the people in the caravan. You know what I'm saying? And I can only give you this as, you know, from my perspective as a South African. So I remember when Robert Mugabe was at his worst in Zimbabwe, right? In South Africa, we would see news about what was happening in Zimbabwe. But we would see it from a Zimbabwe in perspective. It wasn't about us as South Africans, it was about Zimbabwe. They were our neighbors and it meant there was

going to be an influx of people coming in from Zimbabwe. Some people didn't like it, some people weren't opposed to it, whatever it was. But the point is we knew their story. So if you met the Zimbabwea and in South Africa, you would go go go go go go go go go go tho, oh tho, oh tho, oh their tho, oh, oh, oh, oh, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, and, their, and, their, their, their, their, their, and, and, and it their their, and it their, and it their, and it their, and it their, and it their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their, and it their, and it their, and it their, and it their, and it their, and it their, and it their their their th. thi the, and it thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean the the byproducts of what's going to happen if you're taking somebody's job or if you have a job, but you didn't come here for that horrible purpose. Do you get what I'm saying? Like, but the way they tell the story here with the caravan is they go like, they're coming here for you. It's like, yeah, but there's babies. But look at those men. That's how the babies were made. Like, I don't know what country you think there's gonna be people where there's no men involved.

It's like, but what are those men coming here for work? For work, they're trying to escape. Why don't they stay in their country? Because it's crime-ridden. Like, that's what I'm saying to fix that? And this is my issue a lot of the time with how you choose to solve a problem. Donald Trump's showing that America has resources, right? He's willing to spend the money and the troops to go to the border to block them. But I'm like, but why don't I put that same effort into helping in those nations? I'm not saying it's easy. I'm not saying it's easy. their their their their their their their their their their their. their their their. their their. their their. their their their their. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to th. thi. to to to to to to to to to to to thoomom. thoing thi. thi. th. thi. th. th. th. th.

I'm te. I'm saying it's easy, but it just gives me an indication of what you want to do. It's like, they're coming to take your jobs.

Coming to take you. You know what also finding funny about a lot of people in America? It's like, they'll be the first ones to be like, I don't trust these Mexicans, don't trust these brown people. So you trust them with your kids? Yeah, they can look after my kids when I'm not around, but I don't trust them when you're out of the way. Like what do you think that like they must like you realize if these people are all coming like most of them are criminals but then why aren't you dead? Well that because like the other most of them are not. They're like, yeah, but they're raising your kids. Unless you think that's like some long-ass game plan that they have?

We're like, people are coming to America and they're like, first what we're gonna do is man, we're gonna raise their kids and then when their kids are grown up we're gonna stay in the house and help them with life and then when they're old they're gonna die of natural causes then we're gonna go to the funeral and then we're gonna cry and then we're gonna raise the children the next generation and then what was the plan again man? then what was 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 th was was was was was was was was was the the the the the the the the the the was the the was the was was was 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the is the is the is thean. 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 thea th what was the plan again, man?
