The Daily Show: Ears Edition - Jon Stewart "Can't F**king Believe" Democrats Caved on the Shutdown | Rep. Chris Deluzio & Rep. Pat Ryan

Episode Date: November 11, 2025

In the wake of Democrats' decision to end the government shutdown, Jon Stewart returns to his prediction that they were going to piss away last week’s hard-earned electoral victories. With nothing to gain from caving, momentum on their side, and a deeply unpopular president, Jon compares the Democrats to the New York Giants, who at least had the good sense to fire their coach. Rep. Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania and Rep. Pat Ryan of New York, who are both Iraq war veterans and members of the House Armed Services Committee, talk to Jon about how the Trump administration prioritizes a trillion dollar military budget over the livelihood of veterans and service members. They also point out where Democratic leadership is lacking, especially after the party’s “weak” concession to end the government shutdown without any gains for their healthcare agenda, and how Americans across the political spectrum are asking for representatives who will fight for them when it matters.

Hey, welcome to the Daily Show.

My name is John Stewart. We've got an unbelievable show for you tonight. Later on, we're going to be joined out here as Veterans Day is coming up by representatives, Chris Deluzio and Pat Ryan co-chairs of the Democratic Veterans Caucus. They'll be out here in a little bit. Why not? They'll be showing us how to make their favorite dishes for Veterans Day. But let's start tonight.

Let's start tonight. Let's start tonight's show with the big news out of Washington. on the shutdown. By the way, tonight's show will be brought to you by I can't fucking believe it.

I can't believe it. For when the I can't believe it, Edvard, scream emoji doesn't quite convey how much

you cannot believe it and what you ask is it well it is the Democrats you remember the Democrats They shut down the government last month for a very particular reason.

Any deal must secure the extension of the ACA tax credits. This is about my party saying enough is enough. Democrats will not back down. Do not stop fighting. We're in this fight until we win this fight because we know we're on the right side of this fight. It's literally life or death. So Democrats have three words for this. No, fucking way.

Well, funny fucking story. Yes, Charles Schumer's three words were no match for these five other words. Democrats cave on the shutdown. Excuse me, cave on the shutdown. Huh? Not this forceful, young, authentic, democratic party that hangs out down by the river. And curses in what appears to be a cerulean blue blazer.

And I say, in a fucking way. No, they f***ing caved on the shutdown. Not even a full week removed from the best election night results they've had in years. Seven Democratic senators and voted with their Republican counterparts to end the shutdown and reopen the government. And did they get their extended health care subsidies? Democrats wanted the deal to include. extending subsidies for the Affordable Care Act. Instead, they got a promise to vote on it

at a later day. I cannot fucking believe it! You had the wind at your back. Election victories all over the country. The new Sydney-Sweeney movie, Box Office Bubkus. Apparently, her new MAGA fan base didn't show up in droves to see a biopic

about a lesbian professional boxer who overcomes domestic violence to live her truth. Who could have seen that come? Democrats, you sold out the entire shutdown not to get what you wanted, but for a promise to not get what you wanted later. Where in the art of war? Hold on.

Where in the art of war? Where in the art? Okay, here it is. I got it. Sun Tsu said, never press your advantage. It's unseemly. Fighting's hard.

How about a snack? I can't play. And by the way, good does a promise of a Senate vote even do for you, Democrats. You don't control the Senate. Do you even know how this shit works? Let's just say, for Schnecks, that you managed to win a vote in the Senate, which you've ever done

all here. Do you know what happens then? I mean, get hold on one second. Give me the thing. I want to show them. I'm just a bill. and I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill. I can't stay mad at Bill. But the point is this. Let's say, let's just say, you pass a bill out of the Senate that you don't control as Democrats.

Guess what happens then? Now I go to the House of Representatives and they vote on me. They go to the House of Representatives. But they don't vote on it. Because Democrats don't control the House of Representatives either. But let's live in your eight-senator fantasy land. And you do.

Let's say you somehow convince old Cowlick McBabyface to hold that House of Representatives vote and you win that one as well. Guess what happens then? Well, then I'm off to the White House where I wait in our line with a lot of other bills for the president to sign

the president the president yeah yeah you get it past the Senate and then the president of the United States right you remember him

this guy Obamacare is a disaster yeah that fucking guy the Obamacare is a disaster guy the guy who spent the weekend posting about how Barak Obama is collecting millions of dollars in royalties from Obamacare, a fact that Trump picked up from an eight-year-old satire article.

Democrats, you gave up the only leverage you had without getting commitments from Trump or Mike Johnson. I cannot fucking believe it. Surely someone in the party understands that offering a vote in the Senate without a commitment that it would pass or that the House would even take it up is an empty offer. Offering a vote in the Senate without a commitment that it would pass, without a commitment that the House would even take it up is an empty offer. This guy gets it.

Tim Cain. Tim Cain. You don't see him as one of the eight voting yes. Virginia Senator Tim Cain was a yes. I can't believe it! And for what? There's got to be someone in this party who understands what's at stake with these expiring subsidies.

Senator Gene Chaheen. I had a meeting with some constituents last Friday when I was in New Hampshire. One was a man. He said, if I didn't have that insurance through the Affordable Care Act, I would not have gone to the doctor. I would not have gotten my cancer treated. And I would be dead by now. That's what this fight is about.

Now that's somebody who's not going to roll over. That is somebody who has the moral clarity. And she voted yes, didn't she? Jane Shaheen decided to vote yes. That was the most weirdly coordinated bird. Not only was it coordinated, here was the most beautiful part about that boo. It started at a low timber, and then it grew, and then a staccato.

And you know, what she did that's almost worse, after a month of standing on principle because of the needs of her constituents, she now uses those same constituents as her cover for cowardice. When I talk to my constituents in New Hampshire, you know what they say to me? they say, why can't you all just work together to address the problems that are facing this country? Really? Even the cancer guy? He's saying that now? That's not what he was saying before, but now he's like, look, what I said earlier about wanting to live, I didn't know that the alternative was a spirit of bipartisan cooperation. I was just thinking, I want lungs.

And by the way, doing exactly what the Republicans wanted isn't working together. That's not working together. That's just doing what, oh, Mr. Sawyer and I work together to paint this fence. No, he made you fucking paint it. And then he just jumped in at the end and was like, we can't free gym. It's not bipartisan. Yeah, that's what happened. You don't remember the book?

That's what I... He might be wondering to yourself there, well, where's a Democratic leader? Mr. No-Fa-Wa-Wa-Chuck Schumer during all this. But ladies and gentlemen, he is on your social feeds. Glass is in the ready position. Putting on a show. Democrats have been fighting to get the Senate to address the health care crisis. This bill does nothing to ensure that that crisis is addressed.

I am voting no, and I will keep fighting. I don't believe this, and I mean that now literally. Chuck Schumer, your protestation, be not believable. Look, either all eight senators who voted to capitulate, coincidentally, are not up for re-election in 2026, or Chuck Schumer worked behind the scenes to give into the Republicans while still protecting vulnerable Democrats, including himself. You know, that's right. You know, humorously after the election, I mentioned to a couple of political analysts in the afterglow, post-coital,

about how the Democrats were going to squander their hard-earned electoral victories. And I guess the question next for both of you is, how will they squander it? How? How will they piss this away? You know, the only thing I love more than seeing my face on TV is seeing it on a webcam with no filters. Talk about needing health care.

My God. Is jaundice contagious? What the... But it's a fair question. How would Democrats piss this away? Apparently, they did it something like this. Acting. This is a world-class collapse by Democrats.

It would be like being up 10 points with three minutes left to go in a game and still finding a way to miraculously lose it for the fourth time in just one month. For those of you who don't follow the New York football giants, because let's say you value your time on this earth, this is a football team that on three separate occasions, this season has blown games, that statistically speaking, based on their sizable leads vis-a-vis the amount of time left in the athletic contest, they had a 95 to 99% chance of winning.

I refer you, for instance, to this win probability chart from Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears, where you can see the New York Giants' chance of victory climbs to 97% before they trip on their own dicks and fall down and fly to stairs. And again, I don't want to get you inside football here, but you're not supposed to do that.

I have not had a good weekend. Now, for those of you who believe that professional sports and politics are an inept comparative, not only did the Democrats and Giants lose in the same, I can't fucking believe it, manner. They sound the same doing it. It's natural and appropriate

to feel deep disappointment. Disappointing, disappointing outcome. It was not the result many of us wanted. I want to get the results that you hope for and came up short. It never feels good to come up short. We came up short, and that was a tough one. You learn and you prepare to do better in the future.

You're always learning and trying to be better. Well, not enough wins. Not enough wins. We will win. We will win. We will win. We won't rest. We won't rest.

inspired yet so please democrats i do not understand explain this to me like i eat with my feet why how do you explain though to your constituents why it was worth it to put up this fight for so long when in the end you did not get your key demand because it wasn't working First of all, how are we being ruled by the only old people who don't stubbornly cling to shit whether it's working or not? That's the whole point of being an old person. What kind of an old person are you? Well, maybe it is time to give up my driver's license.

I mean, uh, To be fair, I am a menace. And second of all, it was working. It was working. Never, never, never has the gap between this administration and the people it claims to serve been so disgustingly visible than during this shutdown. This week, while the Trump administration was at the Supreme Court demanding that the court let them withhold food stamps from hungry Americans, Trump himself was at Mar-a-Lago with an all-you-can-eat shrimp and synchronized swimming buffet while the president of Argentina danced the night away secure in the $20 billion we recently gave his country. And I got to say, for $20 billion, you'd think he'd dance better than lepricon jerking

elephants. By the way, apologies to the elephant. I am not trying to disrespect. I'm probably an elephant watching that going like, who's, whoa. What kind of an elephant, dick?

Point is this. Don't get distracted. Americans were finally seeing the gap between how Donald Trump bends reality and actual day-to-day reality. This shutdown has focused America's attention away from his gift for distraction and onto stark actualities and seeing through many for the first time his bald-faced lying. Can you just answer that question that tariffs have led to inflation? they have led to an increase in cost of living from most Americans.

We have no inflation. We have no inflation. Except that we have inflation. And normally, we have no inflation goes the way of, they're eating the cats and dogs, and I'm suing Rupert Murdoch because I'm not on the Epstein list, and all of the other lies that Trump deploys in his reality distortion arsenal. But miracle of miracles during the shutdown,

the old songs ain't hitting like they used to. Football fans loudly booed. As Trump was shown on the Jumbotron during halftime at the Lions and Commanders game. I have seen your name. Do you know how fucking unpopular you have to be to be booed by football fans while wearing. while swearing in troops.

And by the way, not just any football fans. Football fans who still use the term Redskins. And not even with respect to the team, just casually. This is what the Democrats have squandered. A country finally shaking off Trump's Jedi mind tricks and saying, no, these are the fucking droids we're looking for. And instead of pressing that address, perhaps neutralizing Trump's reality distortion field for good.

The Democrats just suddenly went, uh, droids, I guess we aren't looking for those droids, but you'll help us find them later, right? They squandered their leverage, sapped their voters' enthusiasm, and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. And it's just too bad that we are now stuck with these leaders that we have. have on that side, and there's nothing that can be done about it. This just in, the New York Giants have just

fired head coach Brian Davey. So you're saying there's a chant. When we come back, Congressman Chris Dilluzio and Congressman Pat Ryan will be joining us. Don't go away. Welcome back in the program.

My guests are Iraq War veterans who now serve in Congress and are members of the House Armed Services Committee. He's welcome in the show, representatives Chris Deluzio, Pennsylvania, and Pat Ryan of New York. Come on! Welcome to the program. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We want to have you guys on.

It's Veterans Day is tomorrow, and we wanted to see you guys. I did also, I'd be remiss by asking you guys, the Senate caved. The House Democrats did not. No. Is there any kind of, I don't know where you guys connect in the whatever Representatives gym or any of that kind of thing. When you walk by Schumer, is there ever any, you know, pussy?

So maybe a little more this week. All right. Yeah. Now, the house has not been in session. at all since the shutdown. It's been like seven weeks, pathetic. Have you guys spent your time in Washington or just back in your districts?

Back and forth, and we're on the Armed Services Committees. We've had some work to do down there, but we haven't had votes since the middle of September. No votes. No votes. And, you know, the big, obviously, the conspiracy theory is, oh, Mike Johnson doesn't want to swear in the representative who was from Arizona

because that's the vote that makes it so that they have to then vote on releasing the episode. Epstein files? Is that, I mean, that's... Or is that, is that, is that, you don't have to answer this. 100%. It's plausible. More than plausible. They're waiting to run out the clock.

There's another special election happening in Tennessee, and if that guy gets sworn in with Adelita Gajava from Arizona, then it neutralizes the numbers. So they are running, yes, agree, agree with that. You guys are like... some sort of weird old-timey Greek chorus they're like it's like in a

a peanuts cartoon where every night and then you cut to the audience and they're like yeah boo yeah yeah I'd be anything

I won't let me ask you how surprised were you how taken off guard were you by the developments of this weekend

from the Senate? Did it take you off guard? I wish I could say it did, and yet I think this is what we've come to expect from this leadership and from what the Senate's been doing. They did not stand their ground, and it's a deal that I think it's a bad deal. I think it's weak. It doesn't even seem like a deal. It seems like a nothing. It's pathetic. I mean, I literally have folks in my district getting letters in the their premiums are doubling, tripling, and they are, like, folks understand actually what's happening. I've had many folks just last weekend home say, like, hold your ground. Right.

Hold your ground. We know this is hard. We know it's complicated. But we literally cannot afford to pay triple. I mean, it's already way too high as it is. So. And what gives them any confidence that the Republicans will all of a sudden go like, oh, okay, you reopen it? So now we're going to reach across the aisle in bipartisan agreement. They haven't done it once. They've run the table. You know, 74, 75 million Americans voted for the Democrats. They have zero representation in Senate, House, judiciary, and executive. You guys in the House, it's the closest that I can remember it being,

and yet you're not allowed to bring up any votes. Don't have any committee chairmanships. It's unconscionable. And there's not even an agreement to have a vote in the House. Even if they had this agreement, there's going to be a vote in the Senate, and it somehow passed, there is nothing making Mike Johnson give us a vote on that to extend the tax credits. None of it. But to me, I mean, that on its own tells you this is a weak deal for something we were fighting for our constituents in their health care.

And I think we both learned, me and the Superior Service of the Army. The Navy guy here. Him in the Navy. You have no idea what was going on backstage between these two. We got Army giving me swag on Army. We got Navy giving me swag on Army. I turned around. No geese.

Headlocks. It was telling. We both learned when in charge, take charge. And I strongly disagree with everything that the Republicans are doing. But at least they understand when you have power, use it. Now, they're using it for evil. They're using it truly for evil. Right.

But we have to understand. I think we get this. A lot of our younger colleagues, frankly, get this. When in charge, take charge. Like, let's be clear what we're against, but also make clear what we're going to fight for when we're back. And when, it's going to be when. we're going to be back in trouble. I don't doubt that for a second.

What astonishes me, I think the space was created for Donald Trump because of the disconnect between the sort of insulated world of Washington, the disconnect between the lawmakers and the needs of the people they purport to represent. I think that gap is what allowed his rise, that dissatisfaction, to see these folks in Senate leadership not understand that. Honestly, I think it might be the most shocking part of this equation. And does the leadership in the House understand that? Do you deal with the Senate at all?

Look, our states are both different, right? And so there's some of it. Pennsylvania and New York. But both swings. You guys are not in deep blue areas. Our districts now work in the most competitive, yeah. The majority in the House runs through whether we can hold and win in these districts, and we do. And by the way, we know how to win in tough districts.

But the theory of their case, as far as I can tell, is people like you will lose if you stand your ground on principle. You have to be the so-called moderate centrist that is going to reach across the aisle, not realizing they didn't reach across the aisle. They surrendered across the aisle. I don't know any constituents of ours that want us to suggest. just wilt. They want us to stand our ground for something that matters. And our health care of our region and yours, like people's health care is a real thing that is bankrupting families. They're going to roll the dice on buying a paying for a policy. They may not be able to afford. Or maybe shown up in the emergency room because they skipped out on health care. That is something they

want us to fight for. And we have been. And to see what happened on the other side in the Senate is just, it's weak. And I think like there's this old theory of left, right, progressive, centrist, moderate, it's bullshit. People want to know, are you going to actually fight for me when it matters, or are you going to cave? And that is the thing that matters, especially in this moment. But the folks that have been in the bubble of D.C. for longer than some of us have been around, they don't.

Longer than even I've been around. I'll be honest with you. I could go down there and kick their asses physically. Many of them are hollow like birds. If you will allow me. I think... Please. And you have.

And I actually, like, coming into Veterans Day tomorrow, I just want to, like, personally, your fight for the Pact Act, you came down and destroyed Ted Cruz, just shamed those Republicans. And I'm telling you, I had not... Both of us had toxic exposures in our service. Oh, really?

And I had not gone to the VA for over a decade. And when the PACT Act finally passed, oh, wow. It really meant a lot to me. It meant a lot to, you know, a million veterans signed up after that bill. That makes me so happen. It would not have happened without you. It's a fantastic program.

And thank you both for signing up for that duty, because that's the thing. And veterans, I think, understand this in a way that maybe some of the legislators don't, because when you guys came home, the idea that you had to fight for benefits that you had earned, a lot of Americans are all of the sudden realizing, oh, shit, the government is antagonistic, not just agnostic to my needs, antagonistic. And that's something that I think I found with the veteran communities, it was really dispiriting for them. And I don't know if you guys felt that way, but that the government's antagonistic. Well, and look, it's not just, it's tough to get into the VA,

and the PACT Act made that better. And I echo what Pat said, thank you for your work to help make it happen. You know, a lot of politicians who voted to send guys like us to places like Iraq spending trillions all of a sudden want to count pennies when it's time to care for the veterans, they sent to fight.

Man. And, you know, that's a lot of the politicians we are battling with now in Washington, right? are people who wrap themselves on the flag, and they're, you know, the chicken hawks and the draft dodgers vote for a war and then won't vote to fund the health care

for the guys they sent the fight. That's who we're up against. It's wild. It must be frustrating. And this is interesting for you guys because you are in those swing districts. You guys are, the idea that somehow Democrats have to prove their love of country

versus this sort of paper patriotism that I see on the right. It's performative, oftentimes. And the idea that the onus is on you guys, do you feel that as well? I mean, I think people on the right who we run against and who fund elections against us would have that. I know both of us, we take no lecture for anyone who, number one, tried to overthrow the government in January 6th.

Right. Okay? Sure. A little blick, a little blick. Which the vast majority of them did. Right, right. And we serve with people who, I think, are oathbreakers, who are part of trying to overthrow the Constitution.

Right. There's a guy in Pennsylvania, a member of Congress, who was central to that scheme, voted against certifying the results in Pennsylvania, a congressman named Scott Perry, who went on some radio interview and said that Democrats hate the military, said the guys and gals who served

who then go into elected office did it for just a credential. It's an oath breaker. So we don't take a lecture from patriotism on guys like that. No way. Let me answer your question. When you're on the retreat for Pennsylvania House of Representative lawmakers and you guys are in the tents at night,

does that, how personal does this get? When you have somebody that's saying something like that along you and your feelings about that are clear, how personal have these divisions gotten? I think probably in olden days you'd, you know, have a scotch and work it out. Well, I decided I'm going to the guys' district holding a press conference and telling him I'm coming for a seat. So that's way to run. Now, let's get to some of the priorities. I'm fascinated now that, you know, so much of the talk about these programs, whether it be SNAP program or these things that, for the most part, are people that work jobs or are elderly or are disabled or are children.

And veterans. And veterans. The vast majority are that. There's a very small percentage, some say 5%, 6% of able-bodied Americans who are getting these things. But we don't know what their situation is. They could be felons who have trouble getting more. Whatever it is, that seems to be for them the core of their, this is the tragedy of this country, is these moochers. And this is the waste, fraud, and abuse in America.

And this is what we have to stop. Yet they hand a trillion dollars. to a defense department that's never passed an audit, and the rank and file that you guys know this suffer from oftentimes food insecurity themselves that are serving in the military. How the f*** does that compute? For veterans, we have tens of thousands

of active duty service members and millions of veterans on SNAP, food stamps, right now in the United States of America, number one. Number two, as we speak, the President of the United States is actively suing in the Supreme Court

to block food going to those veterans and 42 million Americans, one in eight people. And they're the patriots? They're the ones that stand up for liberty and justice for all. It is bullshit. Yeah, no, dude, it's...

The whole thing is so mind-boggling. How... What is the pressure... You know, in terms of that military budget, Like, where does the pressure come? Is it defense contractors? Who is it that lays the hammer on everybody to get these things through? Well, look, there's very little competition.

There used to be 51 prime defense contractors back in the 90s. There were five now. Five. Okay, and I could say, we could spend the whole night talking about different ways we get gouged. Let's take the C-17, okay, transport aircraft. Sure. Soap dispensers. The report that we saw, 7,900% markup on soap dispensers.

Okay, so imagine what happened. with everything else. I have flown on a C-17. My hands were never cleaner. But you multiply, think about the cost that we are all paying for that. Here's the crazy thing about a C-17,

and you guys know, like, it's this giant cargo plane, and you fly in it, and there's no, like, they didn't put up paneling, like sound. No. Like, we went on a U.S.

tour in a C-17, and they were like, you know, bring a winter coat and shorts. Like, they said the weather changes in a C-17, depending on the altitude you're at. I never even knew you could actually use the bathroom in a scene.

I never had. What were you doing? I held it. No, I mean, but you hit on something else, John, which is that it is a corrupt system. Yes. There are, these five companies have tremendous power of their purse. After Citizens United in particular, they pour money in, and both of us have refused to take corporate PAC money for this exact reason. And it puts you to disagree.

It doesn't, though. Honestly, it doesn't because, one, we can both sleep at night and know we're doing the right thing, but two, our constituents actually understand how corrupt the system is. And they want leaders that are going to actually stand up to that. So when, I mean, I actually remember in the Armed Services Committee two years ago, the F-35 jet program

is probably the biggest boondoggle of my lifetime. It's insane. And their operational readiness, is like 30%. And so a bunch of us younger members, and it was actually it was bipartisan, all veterans who had served, were saying, this is crazy. We have to get leverage on Lockheed Martin, who's the company.

The amount of like swarm of lobbyists that descended on us as we tried to ram through this amendment, and we didn't succeed in getting it through because we just got overwhelmed. Now, we've continued the fight, but that's just one example. Now, what was the amendment attempting to do? So it was specifically saying, and this is the crazy part, we pay them trillions of dollars,

and Lockheed Martin keeps the intellectual property for the stuff that our tax dollars pay for. So all the amendment did was say, we're paying you an ungodly amount of money. We Americans should own the intellectual property that we're paying you for, and that was not able to be passed through. It's like the worst episode of Shark Tank ever.

What do I get for the trillion? I'm asking for a trillion dollars for my company, and you don't get anything. Yeah, yes. You get planes that don't actually work, and you don't own them. And, like, this problem is a, it plays out on a bunch of systems and you name it, where the troops can't even fix their own stuff because of these contracts, where it's got to be repaired by the company or their subcontractor. It costs the public a lot of money.

It hurts readiness for the troops because, again, they can't fix stuff that they would know how to do because of these contracts. So this Veterans Day coming up, instead of anything performative, what do you want to say to the American people? What do you ask of the American people for those that have been brave enough to sign up, to take that oath, to do that those who are doing it actively, and those who have done it in the past? What would you say? Look, stand solid for a strong and funded VA that is there to take care of veterans for care that we have all earned, for those benefits that we've earned. let's make sure the VA is strong and there for veterans all over the country. Right.

And you are... I agree with that. And I have to say, Trump ran on supporting and helping veterans and on ending the forever worse, right? He has done the 180-degree opposite. He has fired 80,000 people at the VA, in my own VA,

20 beds closed that deal with mental health crisis and addiction recovery closed that we've been fighting for to get reopened and that you know and that happened i know in pittsburg it happened around the country and then i think the most serious thing i would say to the country is don't send our most precious resource our young men and women into harm's way on some chicken hawk BS from a five-time draft dodger who does not understand what we're what selfless service means whatsoever, and hold them accountable for them. I'm going to see a little bit of myself. Gentlemen, thank you. Representative Bob Ryan, Representative Chris DeLuzio, we're going to take a great break. We'll be right back after this. Go!

Mr. Josh Johnson, Josh! It's Josh Johnson. Josh Johnson, what do you got planned for us for the week? Well, we will be diving into more of these crazy airplane cancellation stories.
