- Jon Stewart - the ex-host of The Daily Show - has made the struggle of journalist Maziar Bahari, detained during Iran's disputed 2009 elections, into a film. On the elections, he tells Jon Snow that the British public will “go through all the Milibands, until someone likes one”.
"England is going to secede from itself." _Prophetic_
We need a Daily Show here in the UK (hosted by Charlie Brooker!)
Mike Fox I bloody love Charlie Brooker
killbotone I love his "Wipe" shows, just aren't enough of them!
No America needs a ' Have i got news for you' kinda show.....
Dont put your country down like Jon snow
Mike Fox what about Alex Brooker?!!
Mike Fox He would be quite funny, but biased.
Can tell they really respect each other. Two brilliant hosts/commentators.
when i read Jon Snow i expected them to meet at Castle Black
He knows nothing
Stewart is right, satire FOLLOWS mistakes and irony not the other way round.
How could he resist to make a "You know nothing, Jon Snow" joke?
charms2 Probably because, like most people, he doesn't watch Game of Thrones.
Because he's an adult...
"Another Bush-Clinton election. Is it beyond satire?"
NO. NO. NO IT IS NOT.
Was it just me expecting The guy from Game of Thrones on this
Deadline I was too. But this Jon Snow does know something. :)
Jon Snow has been on TV since the 70s here his son Dan is a well known TV historian. Jon is a product of the 60s and a fine newsreader/journalist IMO.
+Nige GSX1400 (Nige GSX1400UK) Dan Snow is Peter Snow's son.
+Nige GSX1400 (Nige GSX1400UK) John Snow was a physician and epidemiologist who studied about cholera in London in the 19/20th century.
Gareth Reid apologies my error thanks 👍
We just made a very stupid decision, giving Cameron full power.
Christoere Labour is unelectable outside of returning to New labour tenants, and the Tories are identical to new Labour, so why you all care who is elected is beyond me.
Christoere You didn't decide that. Less than 40% of the country voted Conservative. It's just kind of how it worked out.
Speegs23 Tories are not identical to New Labour. I am by no means in support of the Blairites, but they are not as bad as the Tories, they would not want to get rid off the Human Rights Act, they would not have cut Legal Aid (or at least they'd cut it a lot less), they would not have implemented massive fess for the people having to go through worker's tribunal and they do not want to get out of the EU, which protects basic worker's rights like a four week holiday and even having a worker's tribunal which the tories would happily get rid off. (I know some tories don't want to get out of the EU either, but enough of them do). Also, they wouldn't force young people to work for their minuscule benefits.
No they are indeed the same, don't fool yourself. In fact the Tories have actually done a better job funding the welfare state than did the new Labour crowd.
Speegs23 what do you mean?
I wish the UK had an equivalent of Stewart or Colbert. The closest we have is Ian Hislop and Private Eye.
Will Neill I wouldn't put Hislop in the same catagory. I think we desperately need something like a Daily Show UK. Closest we have here may even be The Last leg or Charlie Brooker
Callum 2015 I thought of Charlie Brooker, but he's honestly fallen off a bit after Newswipe, and The Daily Show is something that has constant scrutiny of politics and the media (save for a few weeks a year), which is what Private Eye also does all year round.
Will Neill Andrew Neil on the BBC is quite good. Not as comedic but on the money with his approach to interviews.
Olisa Maduegbuna While Neil was under the payroll of Murdoch for over 10 years, I have to admit, he's one of those most worth watching for political interviews.
Will Neill I didn't know too much about his past but at the moment I agree he has one of the best interview styles
Jon Snow for lord commander!
That is the best title I have ever heard we need to replace the prime minister title with lord commander of the U.K
Well, Stewart is right about the UK having relatively sane politics. The campaigns are short and inexpensive, the issues are down to Earth and there's generally fairly unbiased, moderate coverage from the television media. This is in stark contrast to the USA, where there are absurd amounts of money involved, the campaigns go on forever, the issues are simplistic and polarised, and the TV coverage is often biased and ridiculous.
He clearly doesn't understand much about the actual details of UK politics, though. That's not particularly surprising of course because he's not from the UK. But the Miliband joke didn't really make sense, the idea that the SNP results will decide the election doesn't make sense, the joke about "England seceding from England" doesn't make sense... and so on. He keeps mentioning "repeated dumb decisions" but it sounds like the only British political decision he is aware of is the Iraq War which is more than a decade out of date.
And Snow's questioning was rather pandering and incoherent. No... the UK's political situation is not at all like the USA's, Mr. Snow. The USA has an increasingly polarised two-party politics whereas the UK's are currently going through a remarkable diversification. And unlike the USA where the multi-tiered system creates constant deadlock, our Parliamentary system is actually very good at generating effective government, even in the case of hung parliaments. There will almost certainly not be any lasting political deadlock after the election.
***** - What do you mean, candidates like Miliband? There's only been one. It was clearly intended as a reference to Ed beating his brother, but the British public never picked his brother or decided they didn't like him. Stewart is obviously just misinformed.
- The SNP are already forecast to win almost all of the Scottish seats; there aren't going to be any surprises there. A seat gained by the SNP is a seat lost from Labour, so the Labour/SNP bloc actually stays the same size. The precise number of SNP seats will therefore be irrelevant. What will decide this election is actually how many seats the Tories can win versus Labour, and how many the Liberals can hang on to. This is just basic political facts which everybody agrees upon. Stewart simply does not understand the situation. His statement only makes sense from somebody with a very vague idea of the general election.
- England seceding from England makes no sense in any context and you didn't really explain it.
- He was clearly unable to cite a single fact about this political generation. It was impossible to discern what his complaints about the "same mistakes" actually referred to.
Ryan Denziloe He was joking Ryan. Look up 'Jon Stewart' on CZcams :)
***** EasyCookVideos I've watched his stuff before, he's a smart politician and a funny comedian. That doesn't mean his jokes here made any coherent sense.
Ryan Denziloe I think you need to get a sense of humour.
Ryan Denziloe Boy is your face red
The spending didn't create the deficit or the crash. The crash created the deficit. Fact, Labour inhereted debt of 42% of the economy in 1997 and it was down to 38% of the economy in 2008 before the crash.
peacok01 UK public debt was 37% in 2002, 43% in 2007, 78% in 2010, steady rise until the pre-crash years when it started booming. So your 'fact' is not actually a fact.
Dino What is the debt now? Tories have borrowed more in 5 years than Labour in 13. Sovereign debt is worthless and any Western government that says they'll bring it down is lying. Decline of manufacturing means everything in the West is afforded on a credit card funded by China.
Dino While I'm not a New Labour fan, this is indeed true. The other thing Labour got wrong was cutting taxes to appease Tory voters while promising increased spending. The Tories promised to spend more money than New Labour, so by your logic, they would've only accelerated the crash. We keep hearing from the Tories that New Labour bankrupted the country, but the UK has never filed for bankruptcy!! They're as bad as one another, but I'd rather see Red Ed in No. 10 with his feet firmly held to the fire to get Labour back to being a left wing party and removing corporate influence on parliament. That is something the current cabinet Tories have no interest in doing.
peacok01 The funny thing is as much as the Tories blame Labour's overspending for the recession, before the crash Cameron committed to the same spending pledges as Labour.
Luke source?
I came here for Kit Harrington..................
The UK media has no bias? Sober and concise?
That's incredibly sad to hear from Jon Stewart.
dublinjake I guess you're right.
Apart from the the BBCs left wing bias. No your right.
FoxenTower and what is wrong with the BBC? while there may be a slight left wing bias with the staff the news broadcast are unbiased, any presenters who break that are reprimanded, and as for the comedy being left wing, come on, have you ever seen a right wing comedian?
Field Marshal Fry I give you the comedians, but the BBC does not have a left wing bias (not just my opinion: theconversation.com/hard-evidence-how-biased-is-the-bbc-17028)
All you see on the British media is negative stories about welfare recipients, negative stories on migration and loads of Euroscepticism.
That was particularly obvious in the run up to the European elections. Stories that are good for business are invariably cast in a positive light, while "regulations" (such as basic employee rights or the European court of human rights) are vilified as ridiculous, a threat to British sovereignty and bad for the economy. Blah blah blah.
FoxenTower I think he means TV, the newspapers are unbelievably biased.
This is great, possibly the world's 2 greatest Jon's together!.
I was expecting to finally find out if Jon snow knew anything and im leaving unsatisfied
I like the Steve Miller Band and the Glenn Miller Band.
you can't tell, but Jon Snow is excited.
It's a shame the US has a whole industry of late night chat, and we have ONE show, Newsnight, with Evan "overly-hesitant" Davies". But clearly there is simply not the audience. Weird..
My two fav Jon’s
You know things, Jon Snow . . .
That's a trip to watch in 2020 as the apocalypse unfolds.
Where's Kit Harrington?
Not ex-host yet!
Winter is Coming
They are both called 'Jon', how bazaar!
We have an unbiased media? Wow I didn't realise the BBC was unbiased.
not liveing on love hard to find...😰
'''Rose tinted glasses"? Was he actually listening to anything Jon Stewart said?
You know nothing Jon Snow.
I feel like our elections are much longer because of the size of the country and also to test the stamina of the candidates. After all, whoever is the potus has to fly all over the world doing meetings and speeches.
@4:07 2016
I was expecting the guy from game of thrones
my 8 virtabas n my spime are brocken.... my keys.😰
And now England is succeeding from itself.
Gun jumping there, aren't you? 'ex-host'? He is not leaving for another 2 months
Who do we actually owe this money to? And why not say we are not paying you? And start again with 1% tax on everything.. i think hungary has got rid of the roschilds, so why cant we?.
Am I the only one who clicked on this video because I thought it was Jon Stewart doing a Game of Thrones parody of some sort....... dont I feel silly.
Hay Mr Stewart, May be you don't realise the reason we in the UK make the same political mistakes without Fox news and the like, is our news papers. Our news papers make Fox news look like balanced sober broadcasters. Our news papers are not just funder by moguls they are directly owned by them.
Not biased..... Wrong
Quite sweet that he thinks Channel 4 News are unbiased.
He's right, we do make the same stupid decisions. The Iraq war was the stupidest.
Let’s just say it, in 2021: Jon Stewart fancies the SNp
The host knows nothing.
The decisions can only be made upon available data Jon. I'm not sure that a total passivist party would be much good to anyone.
Ah, 2015. Back when Bush vs Clinton 2 was what seemed to be inevitable...
You know nothing, Jon Snow
This encapsulates Britain, and what Jon Stewart got absolutely right about it. They're almost (not quite) the same bunch of fuck-ups that we are, just with a more serious and puffier vibe about it. I mean, even John Snow is a total dolt, and the BBC is a joke. But we listen to those accents and figure they must be pontificating and pronouncing upon something important. Which, with the exception of Question Time, they're usually not.
Oh the good old days when people thought it was gonna be a Bush Clinton campaign.
Lol they're trying to delicately eat around the Lobbyist Broccoli on their plate. They're annoyed business is sponsoring politicians, they're annoyed 'everyone is a f*cking napolean', which is to say, lots of people bitch up the government but challenge them to a game of scrabble and they immediately turn into Al Murray. I'm here doing a hoppy dance to that Raconteurs song, and a lot of people are like me: they've got their walkman volume to max because it's funnier watching bleaters than genuinely listening to them. That was how i ended up falling in with the conspiracy theorists about the NSA:really, bad stuff happens when you know too much about people's private lives, but that's the conundrum: you don't know they're good people til AFTER you violated their privacy. As for millibands...*shrug* invisible ink reappears at thirty three degrees, geddit,geddit?Nah?leave it. No one is ever going to genuinely trust a public figure with Shady Cult Connections and I really think once you put a homer Simpson filter on the situation that's ridiculously obviously. Hey, those fuel efficient unleaded Japanese cars, ey? No romance, but, no secrets either.
*comms*'sudden and urgent need to poop? Yes well, who can blame you?
*anxiously gnawing a fifty pence piece* is busta rhymes really trying to break your neck? I dunno. Does Missy Elliot really shoot bootleggers? Coz, I'm reformed,My trews-*indicative whistle * they go straight to the floor
unfare
It's boring I think is what he meant, and he's right.
Moron
erm... ok
Joe Vaughan not really persuasive
Always funny when you hear the prior expectations for Jeb! when he's probably now blowing his donors 24/7 to make up for being such a spectacular waste of money
Jeb is a waste
M
This is me, this is my life, I have to genuinely say 'there's nothing romantic about quantum entanglement!' Like that and then tie my shoelaces up in public just to prove I can. Ahh the fabled 'wear it on a t shirt' plan. How about: 'maybe you should stop asking me about computer singularity, huh?' Oh no! Doomsplain! 'Hey you, stop seducing my nanocytes.'
Thank God Jon was listening to Channel 4 news! There's no bias?? Lol watch the BBC, Jon.
I love you, but still...
jon snow is a great reporter but is very bias against trump. it looks like he is trying to cause trouble in america when he is over there. he should be giving a fairer outlook not trying to stir up trouble.
Jon Snow knows nothing
DjDutch and you know everything I presume
The best and worst of Jon
This is hilarious in 2020
He lost me when he said the Brits have no biased news.
You know nothing Jon snow
Pfft, click bait. I wanted to see Jon Stewart interview the Lord Commander
It was a joke.
Jon snow knows nothing
You know nothing, jon snow
What an utterly pointless interview
What does "England is gonna secede from itself" mean?
Does Jon Stewart think UK=England?
Hugh Moan I think he means that by the SNP holding a deciding stake in a likely coalition it could lead to the breaking up of the UK
Hugh Moan Duh,it was a joke!!
