Ken Buck - Trump’s Criminal Trial & MAGA's Hold On The GOP | The Daily Show

Ken buck was my "representative" when he held a veterans issues town hall with less than 2 days of notice. I was working out of state at the time, took unscheduled pto and booked a last minute flight to attend. After showing up 15 minutes late to a 1 hour meeting, spending 20 minutes congratulating himself on the trump tax cuts, and complaining about not having enough money to properly fund veterans programs, the obvious question of how tax cuts would increase funding for the VA was asked. After he and Phil Roe outright lied to a room full of veterans, I called out his obvious lie and he threatened to have the armed police officer in the room arrest me. I am a 100% disabled veteran. Ken buck and all the rest of the gop can pound sand as far as I'm concerned.

How is Jon Stewart, a comedian, the most competent journalist in the United States? This is how journalism is supposed to be done. Respectfully holding the subject's feet to the fire. Bravo sir. Bravo.

Keeping the audience from booing was a class move. Well done.

At the end of the day, Ken and the rest, will still put party before country every single time. He is no saint

Wow. No one else could have a conversation like that on late night TV — and at such depth and length. This is why Jon Stewart is still necessary.

One of the things I love most about Jon Stewart is his ability to respectfully discuss issues with people whom he fundamentally disagrees with. He doesn’t demonize or dehumanize, he doesn’t yell or insult them. We need more of that in this country right now.

The way Jon halted the boos of his audience to continue civil discourse is a masterclass in respectful debate and open dialogue while staying engaging and entertaining

I love how charming Jon is when he knows someone is being genuine. It is the reason these "debates" become more or less discussions, because he doesnt have this narcissistic need to win the debate. He genuinely wants to make the other person feel comfortable and gets a back and forth even if he thinks the other person is completely wrong.

To me the dangerous precedent is not holding someone like Trump accountable. Being a president shouldn’t mean you are immune for anything you’ve done.

"He doesn't want to drain the swamp, he just wants the deed to the swamp turned over to him." So cleverly put!

This is one of Stewart's BEST interviews. He's so sharp here.

Jon Stewart can have these clear and honest interviews with politicians because of his comedy. It’s a comfortable environment. We appreciate you Jon Stewart!

It DOESN'T MATTER that he's a "Former President"! A Criminal is a Criminal. We are supposed to be a Nation of LAWS, Not Men, NOT KINGS.

Wow, the way the GOP bends for Trump is truly circus level!

Such an amazing interview. Jon would be a better President than anyone else I could think of right now.

Jon "getting on to his audience" is why Jon is the hero we need... I 100% agree with out the audience felt in the moment...but Jon was correct to tell his audience this is a conversation and this isn't Rome.. Jon is a class act.

This isn't about a former president, it's about a criminal. Beautiful job Jon! Thank You.

Jesus christ, we're truly lost when a former prosecutor is claiming that someone shouldn't be prosecuted because the prosecutor WANTED to get the guy that committed the crime.... 1) all prosecutors have to make a decision to prosecute someone, verbalizing it does not discount it 2) 12 people unanimously disagree that there was nothing to prosecute, Buck

A president any president should be held to the highest standards of justice

Bravo sir, one of the only hard hitting, non-hack, interviews wth a politician Ive seen in years. While making it funny to boot, and quelling the audience boos, class!
