The Daily Show: Ears Edition - Jon Stewart's Post-Kimmel Primer on Free Speech in the Glorious Trump Era | Maria Ressa

Episode Date: September 19, 2025

A humble, obedient Jon Stewart heaps praise upon America's Glorious Leader, Donald J. Trump, and provides an FCC-approved refresher on the rules of free speech in the wake of Jimmy Kimmel's suspension. Plus, the TDS News Team serenades the world's greatest, large-penised leader. Maria Ressa, Nobel Peace Prize-winning journalist and author of the book “How to Stand Up to a Dictator,” sits down with Jon for a conversation about Trump’s authoritarian attacks on free speech in the wake of Disney taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air in fealty to the president and his hand-picked FCC Chair. Ressa, who in 2020 was jailed in the Philippines for her journalism criticizing the country’s former president Rodrigo Duterte, warns about the similarities between the dictatorship she lived under and the Trump administration. They also discuss how tech companies use authoritarian governments as case studies to inform their algorithms and manipulate democratic elections, and the importance in this political moment for Americans to take peaceful action before their rights are continually stripped away.

You're listening to Comedy Central

From Comedy Central, it's the all-new government-approved Daily Show With your patriotically obedient host, John Stewart. My name is John Stewart, and welcome to the Daily Show on, I'm going to guess. We have another fun, hilarious. Administration Compliance Show. What are you doing? Shut up. Blow this for us.

So we're coming to you tonight from a real shithole. The crime-ridden cesspool that is New York City. It is a tremendous disaster like no one's ever seen before. Someone's National Guard should invade this place, am I right? Shut the fuck off. If you felt a little off these past couple of days, it's probably because our great father has not been home. For father has been gracing England

with his legendary warmth and radiance. Gazed upon him with a gate. even more majestic than that of the royal horses that pranced before him. He wowed the English with charm, intelligence, and an undeniable sexual charisma that filled their air like a pheromone-packed London fog. And as part of this historic trip, the perfectly tinted Trump dazzled his hosts

at dinner with a demonstration of unmatched oratory skill a fifth of all if humanity speaks, writes, thinks, and praise in the language born on these aisles and perfected in the pages of Shakespeare and Dickens

and Tolkien and Lewis Horwell and Kipling. Incredible people. He didn't have to look down once. Completely off book as he name-checked his favorite authors from the top of his head. Trump employing restraint

not to quote verbatim these great authors our president has devoured voraciously incredible people indeed i'll tell you whose client list trump's name is on dewy decimals but of course as great as those authors are there can only be one most tremendous author in the English language. And I think we know that that author begins with the T and ends in T. Oh, how fortune has smiled upon us, for that very scribe is also our dear leader. We're joined by history and fate, by love and language. We're like two notes in one court or two verses of the same poem, each beautiful on its own, but really meant to be played together.

The whole room is enthralled. That's resting interest's face. It was a most beautiful recitation, Mr. President, it brings me to tears almost as much as your favorite poem about that man from Nantucket. And the variety of things that man can do that rhyme with Tucket. Although, Mr. President, if I may, humbly, I beg of you to take a small detour off this highway of adoration you have so richly earned for a bit of a comic repast.

What the f f*** is on this guy's head? Hang all the mistletoe you want, Earl of Higgen-Huffenballum. Our president's luscious lips shall never grace your forehead. Or is that fucking, is that some sort of second-rate Harry Potter scar shit?

What's on his head? He scald with the mark of the fan. Neviacus groatosis. But the president, almost despicably humble, gave the royals a rare glimpse at his soft-spoken, yet prideful side. We had a very sick country one year ago, and today, I believe, with the hottest country anywhere in the world. In fact, nobody's even questioning it. Nobody.

Certainly not this guy, am I right? You got something to say to me, King Chuck. Don't make eye contact bitch. I'm the outfit dog. Trump knows. USA is the hottest we've ever been. And not just because of climate change.

Which is a good thing. It's actually climate change is, it's a good thing. Cities should be part of the ocean. If you think about it, because obviously what's more important than staying hydrated for cities. Of course, this visit wasn't just an opportunity for President Trump to rub shoulders with lesser royals. He also met with political lessers, like the British Prime Minister, who had to be reminded that Trump has ended all the wars in the world, especially the one between Azerbaijan and Armenia. To think that we settled Abberbaijan and Albania as an example. I apologize very quickly.

I stand corrected. Azerbaijan is actually pronounced Aberbaijan. And Armenia is pronounced Albania. I regret the error.

Trump ended the war between Aberbayian and Albania. Do better, do better, do better. Dumb shit, fucking bah. That wasn't smart either. Now, the visit to England couldn't have gone better for our president. Finally, a country affording our great leader, the respect and deference that any son God would command. We saw the dismissal of a very well-earned.

known chat show hosts in America last night, Mr. Kimmel. Is free speech more under attack in Britain or America? How dare you, sir? How dare you, sir? What outfit are you with, sir? The Antifa Herald Tribune? Why, I wouldn't even line my parents' cage with your rag. There's a very reasonable explanation for what befell this scallywag Kimball. Well, Jimmy Kimmel was fired because he had bad ratings more than anything else,

and he said a horrible thing about a great gentleman known as Charlie Kirk, and Jimmy Kimmel is not a talented person. He had very bad ratings, and they should have fired him a long time ago. So, you know, you can call that free speech or not. Shut the fuck up! You may call it free speech in jolly old England, but in America we have a little something called the First Amendment. And let me tell you how it works.

There's something called a talentometer. It's a completely scientific instrument that is kept on the president's desk. And it tells the president when a president, when a performer's TQ, talent quotient, measured mostly by niceness to the president, goes below a certain level, at which point the FCC must be notified to threaten the acquisition prospects

for billion-dollar mergers of network affiliates. These affiliates are then asked to give ultimatums to the even larger mega-corporation that controls the flow of state-approved content, or the FCC can just choose to threaten those licenses directly. It's basic science. Read your Constitution. Read it.

Look, there are certain rules of free speech that we must all abide by. But in case anyone needs a refresher, we're going to go over the rules again. He does not have a right to have a television show where he lies his ass off to the American people. There are repercussions to spreading lives. Exactly. And even though two months ago, our president, because of his grand ability, to see the future, it's a curse. Somehow knew that Kimball

would be next, as he explicitly said. You can't just make things up on television. People cannot just go on television and mislead viewers with made-up crap. Millions of illegal aliens that Borizar Harris brought into the country

will be voting. The bottom line is this. There is massive voter fraud. Global warming is a hoax. Crime. Crime is in an all-time high right now. Fifty million on condoms in Gaza. They're taking people's pets and killing them and eating them. On January 6, two years ago, the overwhelming majority were peaceful. They were orderly and meek. These were not insurrectionists. They were sightseers. All true.

Oh, your lordship. I do not know whence these peasants come That last roll of clips All true Especially that last one about sightseers Because technically anything you see Is a sight even if even if that is even if that is you punching a cop

I see therefore I am sightseeing but of course even before this Jason Kringle's situation at ABC there were plenty of other people in America exercising their free speech incorrectly so here's some examples of things you cannot say about your political opponents.

You can't call someone who you disagree with a fascist. Leaders cannot call their political opponents Nazis and fascists and enemies of the state. How horrible and dangerous it is to view people with whom we disagree as somehow being less than human. Thank you. You can't say fascist. You can't say enemy of the state. You can't say less than human.

These are simple rules that any responsible member of a society can easily of a society can easily follow. The Democrats, they're fascists. Joe Biden, he's an enemy of the state. It's a very demonic party. Nancy Pelosi said, please don't call them animals. They're human beings.

I said, no, they're animals. Of course, I think she's an animal too. You want to know of it, of course. Technically correct. She's not a mineral. Anyway, he said that a long time ago, back when I was doing a semester abroad in Abu Haifian. You know what? It's not really about the specific words.

It's about having a basic sense of humanity. People on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence. This is not a both sides problem. The First Amendment, though, does not protect entertainers. who say crass or thoughtless things as Jimmy Kimmel did thank you

thank both of you or I think we only have to be nice to one of you you know it is true I do point taken only a bad person

would celebrate violence or make crass jokes about it. Nancy Pelosi, well, she's got protection when she's in D.C. Apparently, her house doesn't have a lot of protection. Donald Trump, Jr., shared an image of a hammer in a pair of underwear that had the caption, Got my Paul Pelosi Halloween costume ready. Well, maybe Paul Pelosi needs the hammer instead of the metal.

It's metal. All right. Rachel. It's metal. No, no, no, stop. And by the way, there were consequences. This gentleman had to leave television. I'm not sure where he went, but I'm sure it's not some prestigious consequential position.

He's not remotely qualified for him. Listen, these two, these two, these two could learn a lesson from our dear president who, like Santa, knows that we are all God's children and would never that is what Santa is right God's sure is that I'm not so up on the lore I know he's good

but the president knows we're all God's children and the president would never make light of a politically motivated attack we'll stand up to crazy Nancy Pelosi who ruined San Francisco how's her husband doing by the way anybody know you see that's how it's done you stop in the middle of a speech to inquire about the condition of an 82 year old man who was attacked with a hammer

in his own home he has a fractured skull mr president but thank you for asking your kindness is only outshined by your manliness so i don't know who this uh I don't know who this Johnny Dremel live ABC character is, but the point is our great administration has laid out very clear rules on free speech. Now, some naysayers may argue that this administration's speech concerns are merely a cynical ploy, a thin gruel of a ruse, a smokescreen to obscure an unprecedented consolidation of power and unitary intimidation, principledless and coldly antithetical to any extent. experiment in a constitutional

republic governance. Some people would say that. Not me, though. I think it's great. For more, we go to our correspondence who are live at the Donald Ham Monument on the very much appreciated. Very much appreciated joining us.

But, you know, all this swirling Are the naysayers and the critics right? Is Donald Trump stifling free speech? Of course not, John. Americans are free to express any opinion we want to suggest otherwise is laughable. Ha, ha, ha.

We are a nation of diverse perspectives, and we are not afraid to be different. Ronnie Ronnie what's up with your tie you're gonna get us in trouble but this is this is only red tie I have okay it's fine that's not red it's pink it's not pink it's at least salmon all right that's a shade of red it's not red it's got to be mugger red to calm down God is this your first dictator care about the exact shade okay it's just about being visibly uncomfortable while you praise them like a toddler we love you donna you did so good you get all your poop in your party so good so good i couldn't have said it any differently without obviously getting into trouble now uh before we go to our commercial break

We'd like to end this segment like we do every night here at the Daily Show and have been ending our segments for years. From the hottest country in the world. And we'll be a leader with no fake news. And we don't even notice your kinkles or your bruises. you ended eight to ten new awards and even though some of those countries don't really exist you deserve all the prizes I'm talking no bill prosies right right You have a massive penis much bigger than normal.

Your Operation Warpsby got us the COVID Vax, which we don't like, but it was a great thing, but don't take it. Y'all come back to me, please. He's a superhero who needs no cape. no cape and he was not technically convicted of

What about the Daily Show? My guest tonight is a Nobel Peace Prize winner, CEO of the Philippine News site, Rappler, and author of the book, How to Stand Up to a Dictator. Please welcome to the program, Maria Ressa. Very nice people. You got to do it for the gram. Maria's always said she does it for the gram.

Maria, first of all, thank you for being available on short notice. Generally, I have a rolodex of all Nobel Prize winners, and I had to get to R. So that's how hard it is. Your Nobel Peace Prize. Is there any chance you would give it to our guy and save us all? I knew you were going to ask. Son of it.

How are you doing? As you're watching, not really the market working, but the government interceding in putting pressure on various things. How much is this moment resonating with you, with your experiences, those who don't know, you were imprisoned in the Philippines for writing truth. I have 11 arrest warrants or had 11

arrest warrants in a little over a year. But only four were Coke. Which is, I want to make sure people know that. But it's the same type of thing. You know, I got to say, since 2016, I've been saying over and over and over, and I

I'm just going to say, I told you so. You've said it to me many times. And I've always said, we're resilience in our civic institutions. And he really has. I really have said that to it. Yeah, he said, no, it's not going to happen. Right, right. Yeah.

Hello. What was it about how you were watching it? Are you at least surprised by the speed of it and the breath of it? When we talked in March, I was saying this is going much faster than, in the Philippines when when Rodrigo Duterte took office he so the Philippines has a Constitution patterned after the United States three co-equal branches of government and he collapsed our institutions within six months all right do you think it's weird it's taking Trump eight I think he did it in the first

hundred days no he did yeah yeah because if you think about it a hundred And then if you look at the way that shaped the reality of everybody, right? I think that was why we spoke in March, because I was like, this is happening if you do not reclaim your rights. If you don't stand up, it's going to be significantly harder to claw them back. Let me ask you about, you know, you've got three branches of government. Were they compliant? I think in this moment, they're compliant here, right? hasn't been at their objection it's been at their inaction so it's identical to what

identical identical to what happened in the philippines and so i feel like it's both deja vu and PTSD i mean right you know we have you have a executive very powerful which by the way our first president marcos declared martial law by executive order right that was in the 70s anyway you have an executive the legislature is the one that's supposed to hold him in check in real time. And the judiciary maintains the rule of law, right? Well, what happened in the Philippines? I want you to have a third hand to show me this. I want to see how this model actually works. Well, so what happened? This collapsed, right? Which was shocking. It was shocking to watch, but the very first line of defense you had were the Republicans. Right. And then when that

collapsed, that meant in real time, I mean, are you going to get USAID workers back? All of those things that happened that were implemented in the first appropriations and money that was done. All of that has happened and that now is normal right and you can whether it's in the physical world or in the virtual world and then the judiciary what I watch the same thing happened here that happened to us which is the individual judges and justices become targeted

and holding up rule of law becomes that much more that much harder but here's your other thing and this is Silicon Valley is American, after all, right? How can you have rule of law if you don't have facts? What is that last word? We were told, so here's what interesting. We've been told that any attempt to check facts was a curb on free speech, that any policing on public platforms

of anything that occurred. And by the way, some of it was not right. Some of it was unjust. Some of it was censorious. But it didn't mean, and we were told that the principle here, they've said it. We're going to be the most free speech. We're going to be the most open. And they've just redefined what speech means.

What free speech means is free speech is speech that supports the president. And that's the new definition. Are you talking about the tech CEOs or the president? men and women. Are they different? I mean, when you have that kind of meshing, right? Yes. It was, he threatened Mark Zuckerberg with jail because of Zuckerbucks, which were bipartisan.

They went out. It wasn't even electioneering. Yeah. Mark Zuckerberg went, did you say jail? Which apparently is the only thing that's worse than being in the metaverse. I'm not sure which is most, actually. But he flips over. Now we've got tech.

I mean, Elon Musk spent over $100 million to get this man elected, but that's not seen as interference. They have joined together, and they're consolidating their power. Yes. Is that a similar? You know, in Philippines, it's a little different. Basically, social media in Philippines was more like it was Facebook. No.

I mean, primarily Facebook, but, you know, I would say for six years, These are stats for six years in a row until 2021. Filipinos spent the most time online and on social media globally. Out of anybody? Out of anybody globally. And so what the Cambridge Analytica whistleblower said, you guys remember that 2018, right? I do indeed.

So what he said was that they tested tactics of mass manipulation in our country. And if they worked for in our country, they ported it to yours. Wait, this is like the McRib. They took a, they did a test sandwich and ran it in like some place in Columbus and were like, these people love this shit. And we kept telling you this was happening, right? In 2016, I said this in Silicon Valley. I said, what is happening to us is coming for you.

2016, right? And nothing was done. And if anything, all those safeguards that they tried to put in place have been ripped off in time for the 2024 elections. But it hadn't to that point, in my mind, they had weaponized that brain hack for profit. They hadn't yet weaponized that brain hack for political consolidation and power. That's what feels different. No, what happened in the Philippines is just happening to you. Yes, no, I meant in our country.

In your country. It felt like they weaponized the algorithm for profit. Now they're weaponizing it for both. profit and political consolidation. They went hand in hand for most of the rest of the world. I mean, you're not exceptional in this sense. There is a dictator's playbook, right? You think we fell for it?

We're just a run-of-the-mill country that falls for this? It really is a playbook. They studied Hungary. They studied soft autocracy. They studied hard autocracy. They used the same, man, when I watch them and they go on and they go, we fired a missile at a Venezuelan drug boat. I think about Duterte and I think about...

That's extrajudicial killings in our country. That's what we called it, right? And that's how we consolidated through the fear. Fear, anger, hate. Fear, anger, hate. So it's like, we'll say this one more time because I feel like, you know, Sisyphus and Cassandra combined. We kept saying this.

Hold on, that is a great idea for a movie. Hold on. By design, these platforms spread lies, social media spreads lies by a 2018 MIT study at least six times faster. So by design, lies spread faster. That's the incentive. And then in 2017, we saw in our country, in the Philippines, that if you lace it with fear, anger, and hate, it can go viral. That's the incentive structure. So that was used to attack us.

Now, imagine if you're pumped full of, in the Nobel lecture I called it toxic sludge, online violence is real-world violence. So they hacked our biology. Thinking fast, thinking slow, we're thinking fast people, our emotions, they change the way we feel. Reptillion. To change the way we look at the world,

to change the way we act, to change the way we vote. And as of March this year, these them in Sweden said that we are 72% of the world is now under authoritarian rule that we are electing illiberal leaders democratically because of insidious manipulation right so they go hand in hand money and power and now with the horrific events in Utah everybody has the Zapruder film of it in their in their pocket that wasn't taken down on social no right yeah horrifying and it's you know what I I liken it to some extent, because this type of manipulation, it will always exist. You know, I liken it to this.

It's like a chef. A chef has a couple of tricks. You come into a restaurant, what's a chef going to do? He's going to be like, you know what, I want these people to come back. I'm going to throw in a little extra butter. I'm going to add a little bit of sugar to the mariner. But it's still within the realm of, but then you look at ultra-processed food, and you realize that's different.

That's guys in lab coats trying to figure out how to bypass whatever. biological signals you give that cause you to stop eating, to bypass that to make you sick. And it's so interesting because you watch Maha talk about, we have to get rid of ultra-processed foods. It's killing us. It's making us fat. And then Big Pharma comes in and they give us GLPs and it's a big cycle. But nobody talks about ultra-processed speech. And that's the difference. The algorithm is ultra-processed. It's not about adding a little bit of humor or a little bit of fear or a little bit of outreach. it's about designing a machine yes absolutely me and maria won the Nobel Prize i want it too we oh my god i can't i can't believe we're both Nobel Prize win Maria i want to talk about

it right now in this country so many people are living on eggshells on the whims of one man, whether you're a researcher in a university or a day laborer outside of a home depot or someone who shit posts on Twitter or any, there are so many people in so many spheres, or whether you're a small business that doesn't understand the diabolical whims of tariffs and how they're being laid out. just willy-nilly, what do you do with that? I know that must have been what it's like in the Philippines. An authoritarian regime, civic institutions and the way that they function,

they can be abysmal, but they provide a certain stability. I've never seen this country where so many are living on eggshells. And part of that is precisely because there hasn't been enough. I mean, we were talking about this. There hasn't been, it feels like Americans are like deer in headlights. Yeah. You know? I feel that way.

But if you don't move and protect the rights you have, you lose them. And it's so much harder to reclaim them. It's, it will have been. You know, they keep saying, our leaders, the ones that we elected to keep an eye on this, keep going on TV and going, you've got to speak up. And you're like, here? Like, right now? Out the window?

Like, for what? Like, there is no real sense. of process or scaffolding that could create a ladder out of this hole but this is this is why you're about to choke me no no no no no you know so let me just say what this moment is right i've been struggling and i i just came from australia and you're a very optimistic person i know that so this is everything you've been through there were two ways i was going to describe this moment and it does start with the manipulation and the corruption of our public information ecosystem, right? So I was saying, is this an information apocalypse, or is it an information Armageddon?

Okay. Those are our, so you are a very optimistic person. And our choice is Apocalypse or Armageddon. But that's why, because I'm optimistic, I chose Armageddon. Yep. Right? Yep. Because, no, think about it.

Think about it. Part of it is apocalypse is done. It's the end of the world. But Armageddon is the battle. This is the battle. Right. Right. Peaceful.

Peaceful. Peaceful. And by the way, so without this going in that direction, then, I want to do talk about this was, when was Duterte? When did he take power? 2016 he's gone oh yeah okay so so so this isn't it didn't last forever and your work your your lone voice crying out from the apartment that they forced you to to be in and the and the imprisonment that they were looking for it it's over he's not there anymore so it wasn't i wasn't jailed for very long i'm very lucky in this right but um let me put it this way uh our lawyers told us I was crazy and I had a company and by the way nothing puts a news organization coheres makes it feel so good to be a journalist than a news organization that is mission driven when we came under attack Rappler came together in ways we could never have done that reach that to the

heavens that is so true and so missing so what what we saw was that if you stand up if you just keep going. Because our lawyers told us I was crazy, right? Do you negotiate with President Duterte or not? How can you negotiate when you can't give him what he wants? Right. So we didn't. Which is fealty. I.e., you can't do your job. Right. Right. So, and then here's what happened. We just kept doing our jobs. We just kept putting one foot in front of the other, a year where I had 11 arrest warrants, and then was convicted. And I still have, I have to ask for permission to travel from the Philippine Supreme Court until today. But in March this year, Rodrigo Duterte was arrested on alleged crimes against humanity,

and he is now in jail in the Hague waiting for his trial. Wow. And it's not, listen, and that doesn't mean it's over, and I understand that, you know, in the Philippines, his daughter, and certainly the Philippines has a long tradition of, family dynasties, and that still exists there, and there's still, I'm sure, choppy warders ahead for Maria Ressa. Well, let's say we move from hell to purgatory, right? It's not bad.

It's not bad. The next book has got to be from Apocalypse to Armageddon. A story of optimism, Maria Ressa. Maria, I can't tell you enough what a sab for the soul you always are whenever I get a chance to talk to you, whenever I get to see you, thank you so much for coming by in this unbelievably strange
