Interview with Oklahoma State Sen. Nathan Dahm | The Problem with Jon Stewart

- State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-OK) has penned several bills loosening gun restrictions, including the nation's first anti-red flag law against restricting gun access to those deemed dangerous. Not only does he want to protect the Second Amendment, but he also believes guns make us safer. We think it's probably one or the other.

I’m a courtroom lawyer, and Jon Stewart is not, but I would say that was the most devastating cross-examination I’ve ever seen.
And do you know why? Because he was speaking the truth! And of course he is quick-witted. I miss Jon on our televisions!
This is a masterclass in debate and rhetoric.
this guy should've said no to an interview with Jon Stewart.
When sophistry hits the wall of truth. Its a beautiful thing to witness.
That entire 8 minute session was a setup for the final 30 seconds and the Honorable Senator from Oklahoma walked directly into the trap. Absolute evisceration. John is a master of controlling his emotions and not letting his rage overwhelm his ability to reason. Absolutely fantastic.
The way this man wracked his brain to avoid saying 'register' was a feat to behold.
For real. I'm tempted to turn it into homebrew DnD content.
In defense, he has very little brain to work with. This man never made it past high school and doesn't even know what the word anecdote means, yet somehow he failed upward to Senator, but that's the Republican way it seems.
racked* but yes absolutely; an actual demon.
@@IMatchoNation - he had it right the first time. It's wracked, not racked.
And yet the guns stay.
The jews can't even win the gun war.
They've infected every other American institution.
Historically a vile filth tribe.
4:13 "This is not an anecdote, this actually happened"
this man is a senator
Well he’s a state senator not national senator, but still very worrying
I think this every time I watch the video. It drives me crazy each time. 🤦🏻♂️
@@abcxyz3378that poor state
I don’t think he know what anecdote means, dear lord
In the immortal words of Inigo Montoya “you keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.“
Jon is SUCH A GOOD debate participant. He is walking this guy in a circle in such an artful way. Even though he’s angry. It makes me tear up every time I watch him do this. It’s a MASTERCLASS.
A masterclass of spewing bullshit
This wasnt a debate, this is what journalism is
@@Loots1 I mean weird semantics but okay
@@Loots1 If "journalism" means "bias" and "agenda" then sure, it was journalism.
@@OfficialFinalGirl what i said isnt a form of being pedantic, he is holding truth to power, this by definition thats what journalism is, its not a debate, read a book sometime please
The way he connected his gun control argument to free speech to drag show performers and back to gun control to prove his original point of protecting children was pretty dam impressive
Quite impressive mental gymnastics going on here indeed
Can you explain to me how making gun ownership more difficult for LEGAL gun owners is gonna make things safer, when such restrictions don't stop criminals from preying on innocent law-abiding citizens?
So you're good with kids attending drags shows?
@@ericheick7044 are you good with kids getting killed by mentally ill people with guns?
@@ericheick7044 there is family friendly drag kids can see. No drag queen in story hour is doing anything nsfw. If they are, they are an outlier and show be fired. The idea that all drag is inherently sexual is just absolute nonsense
I loved in when the senator tried to say, “This isn’t an anecdote; this actually happened,” completely unaware that it’s still an anecdote.
I guess he only thought of anecdote as a ‘joke’
@@gregorycarnielutube Apparently, he never got beyond 6th grade.........
Words have no meaning anymore, and "anecdote" is a big word.
Sadly, politicians do not need to prove intelligence, much less competence, to get elected.There are people in Congress who actually believe in a literal translation of Genesis. Adam and Eve and all of that fairytale nonsense.
He’s aware
Apple's loss is Comedy Central's gain. Welcome back, Jon.
He's a puke
@@susanfalsone4953 How do you sleep at night with the blood of all those dead babies on your hands? You can keep washing, but it's never going to come out. You are stained for life.
@@susanfalsone4953
Wow! Such an insightful opinion! I hope when you wrote this little gem down, that it didn't take away too much of your valuable window licking time.
If Jon is a puke, then why are you here?
@@JB-yb4wn I like to keep my friends close...my enemies closer...you, too are a puke...understand.
Joke is now on Apple, he is back at Comedy Central.
What did Nathan expect? He got his hypocrisy, handed to him on a silver platter. In front of 1 million people. Keep going Jon. So glad you’re back.
@tracylavalle1555 when he said "We need to look at the problems that those people are Facing" in regards to people who commit gun violence so that he could protect guns..
That needs to be in the comments section of every video/meme on 9gag about Black crime schtatistics. That was truly an eye-opener to the hypocrisy for a twentysomething white kid like myself😳
"This is not an anecdote. This actually happened." Among the many things that Dahm doesn't know, the definition of anecdote is one of them.
Be nice bro, he just came out of the cloning factory and got the basic memory package. He's trying his best
I noticed that too. It bugged the shit out of me, and I'm glad Jon didn't get sidetracked by his ignorance because I'm sure it bothered him as well.
Yeah, that bugged me when he said it was not an anecdote.
I am sure in his mind he was thinking... But it is not an anecdote, it is a fact that actually happened.
And take into consideration that this clown is considered to be a smart guy among Republicans...................
Yeah that was hilarious!😂
It’s kind of ironic that in this video Nathan Dahm is the intellectual embodiment of what happens when you bring a knife to gun fight.
Haha, yep. Well said. Nathan wouldn't bring a knife to a gunfight would he?
Underrated comment
@calbraid3328 that's what he intellectually brought. They should ban knives now lolz
Sat in The UK . You have no idea how ridiculous America looks from this side of the pond.
Lots of Americans are trying to change that. There's a lot of dumb Americans who get on TV and social media, but there's a lot of amazing Americans too.
We def don't got it all going on over here, especially on the right, but the UK isn't a utopia either 😂
Agreed, definitely not a utopia. However, and in this context it is key, when dropping my child at the school gates, I've never EVER been worried that she would be shot whilst at school. @@Smellslikewine
Some of us do, but the dumbest among us keep electing guys like this for office so the fight continues.
It is at least reassuring that it looks ridiculous. I live in the US and 50% of the people I meet think this guy isnt wrong.
I just realized that I don’t think this politician knows what an anecdote is 😂
Oh, I would say that there is a lot that this politician doesn't know!😂
He does. He just can't admit that it's an anecdote.
For real I was just screaming this into my phone.
I think he knows the people voting for him don't know what it is, and if they found out they might understand that he's a fascist all the sudden. It's calculated more often than not. Only the loudest of the turd gallery is actually stupid.
I just saw that part poor little man😂
"I'm familiar with a ton of anecdotes." Best line ever said to a politician.
This ain't a stump speech son, where's your data at? Lol, glorious.
The way the senator responded, I don't think he knows what the word "anecdote" means... this fucking party I swear to god...
Then the dude tries to tell his story of the woman who had a restraining order on her boyfriend … and Jon Stewart interrupted him because THAT is an anecdote. And anyway, I’m thinking most of us who support common sense gun laws would totally support that woman purchasing a weapon AFTER she passed a background check and, in my opinion, got some basic training on the weapon’s operation or demonstrated proficiency on that particular weapon, I’m sure that guy’s comeback from his anecdotal story would’ve been that the ex-boyfriend came that night and she had to use her gun foe protection and a waiting period for a background check would have caused her to get protection too late. Well, that’s life. I’m sure the person in need of a kidney donation needs it TONIGHT and not NEXT WEEK. But there are organ donation procedure, regulations and restorations. I know it’s not the same, but sometimes someone in a life threatening situation ends up on the short end of the stick so that overall society works for many more people. But the woman (& everybody in a similar position) must take responsibility for her own safety while waiting on the “ok” for her desired gun purchase and training to go through. If you’re worried you need a gun RIGHT NOW, life or death situation, you need to stay with family or a friend or if you have nobody, contact a shelter or the police. Her inability to plan ahead (& I know, I know she might not have known, it’s not her fault, but we can’t make everyone else unsafe just because of this one in a million situation) and realize she might should get a gun before the ex-boyfriend becomes violent should not cause ALL THE REST OF US TO BE UNSAFE BECAUSE IS GETTING BACKGROUND CHECKED.
I KNOW RIGHT ??!!!!!!! WASN'T IT FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC !!!!!!!
They love the one that seems to perfectly illustrate their position yet the thousands that invalidate their position are apparently meaningless hyperbole.
I'd love to hear about the drag show that killed a child or multiple children.
One interesting thing I pulled is that deadbeat dads shouldn't have guns. Can't be responsible for your kids then no guns for you.
Jon's line 'Even rights have responsibilities' should be emblazoned on a sign in every classroom. Jon is the master.
It’s not ‘even…’, it’s just the other side of the coin. Love others as you would have them love you.
@@john3_14-17Love wouldn't be the word I'd use, just respect. I don't expect everyone to love me, but I sure as hell hope everyone could respect me, my space and my right to exist peacefully. I'd also like to add that when I say "peacefully", I mean comfortably. Without fear of anyone depriving me of my peace. That may mean by not paying me enough money to live a comfortable life, or the reassurance that if I get hurt, I won't have to sacrifice the comfort of my family. It could also mean making sure I have a safe place for me and my family.
It's ironic that these type of guys only want to secure people's rights when it also involves corporations getting lots of money.
@@AdrianWaitemusic I use the word love because that is what our Lord uses.
'Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.' - Matthew 22:35-39
I love Jon Stewart, you can tell the look of anger and disgust at the end of this. You don’t give a flying f$&k.
"The government has a responsibility to..."
He said it! He got him to say it!
Why isn’t Jon Stewart on Sixty Minutes? They could fire their entire cast and save millions and just hire Stewart.
John's response was golden
That was the best part!!! He said, "What?" And he thought, "Oops." Haha!!!
Because John thinks he’s smarter than he is. Don’t misunderstand I’m not saying John is a stupid person he’s not he’s a very intelligent guy who I agree with on a lot of subjects. I blamed China for the Wuhan leak within the first week of the outbreak, and that was just based off deductive logic with little evidence but I was shocked to hear him say it to Colbert. On this particular issue he really is not a voice of reason, nor does he have a compelling argument.
And I’m going to say this, with the assumption, it will be criticized… But I mean this whole heartedly… aside from a few of us in the country, who have absolutely no power to help the issue in anyway… No one cares about the REAL cause of the gun violence in the country as it relates to mass shootings/shooters. Not the bulk of the citizens, and seemingly none of those in a position of power to make any meaningful statements , suggestions, or actions.
No one Just like no one cares/cared if they were still any sex slaves on Epstein’s island after he and his Madame were arrested. And I say this as someone who tried to encourage such discussions around the time these would have been immedietly relevant to discuss, having encouraged discussion online more than dozens of times on both issues… more than a few venues and multiple times… No one cared to discuss it …
@@mrspicolli That's a large amount of meandering text without any real arguments. What is the real cause, then?
i'm honestly shocked that Jon still hasn't been arrested after absolutely murdering a state representative on international television.
Lol right? It doesn’t help that the representative has dead pan body language pretty much the whole interview
I love *they had us in the first half*comments 😂😂😂
😂😂😂🎉
...because he didn't.
@@1911GreaterThanALL metaphorically
7:43 you can see Jon Stewarts hand visibly shaking as he is asking the question. He is absolutely PISSED but still appears calm.
Guns are not the leading killer of children. Per the CDC’s own data it’s drowning, falls, and car accidents. Guns don’t even make the top 20. Joh is just an idiot within agenda to push.
His refusal to say "register" is the best proof of cognitive dissonance I have ever seen.
@Nicholas L Would childish be better?
@Nicholas L yes
@Nicholas L literally refusing to admit he’s wrong lmao
@Nicholas L Dude you are not saying anything
@@nicholas_l of course he refuses to say it out of either cognitive dissonance or strategic reasons. However, neither of those two justify it. A public official lying, or refusing to admit the truth, isn't okay because it's strategic or cognitive dissonance. So quit justifying his unethical behavior simply because it's, perhaps, "strategic'. That doesn't make his policy stances here logical or ethical to his responsibility and sworn oath to serve the public - not himself. Your attempted justification simply further reinforces the self-serving, unethical behavior he's demonstrating that is being highlighted here. Simply put, you aren't helping his case with that self-serving reasoning like you think you are. You're also skewing the point here. The issue being pointed out here is the logic, or lack thereof, behind his policy stances, not his behavioral reasoning for his lying that you are deflecting toward. Whether it because he refuses to accept reality, or because he refuses to admit it for strategic purposes, he's still ignoring reality.
This interview should be taught in Journalism classes everywhere. Jon’s ability to destroy his opponent’s arguments one by one and tireless insistence on calling them on their bullshit until they break is truly, absolutely inspirational. If I was American, Jon would have made me proud to be one. What a man, what sense of integrity and courage! It takes courage and passion to stand for what is right!
Yes, and this politician should defenestrate himself immediately
Lol, Stewart is an idiot. Giving away more guns, I expect Piers Morgan to say something stupid like that
It's truly amazing and sad at the same time that comedian's like Jon Stewart and Bill Maher are better at REAL journalism than journalists are.
@@PhazonInfuser I fully agree…
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Him avoid saying “register” during Jon’s voting argument was as hilarious as it was shameless
Like Adele looking everywhere but the camera
I fucking died
He didn’t avoid it, he literally didn’t know the answer. Big difference.
That was brutal. Poor okie got his head taken off
@CuReD_bacon I think for a politician to not know that people have to register to vote is worse than dodging the question.
This guy will hate himself for agreeing to this interview. The pain in his eyes 😢
They all do, because they all think they'll stump him with their bullshit
I thought he was about to cry. 😂
Grasping at all straws just to be right, and he can’t even do it
I know! I keep wondering how people are agreeing to these interviews.
@@DarkhalfBreed Because to them, he's still just "some comedian"
"I'm gonna five you a hint: it's not drag queen readings"
That one smacked REALLY hard
“Rrrrregister. They have to register”
Made that governor look like a kid in class who wasn’t sure what the answer was 😂
State senator. Not governor
This interview should be shown nationwide primetime every day
Hey Jon do you take into account that most gun violence in the U.S. is correlated to gang violence and that many of those gang members are teens?? Do you also take into account the guns these gang members almost always use are handguns and not "assault rifles"?? Oh and by the way, they get these guns illegally. We have a gang violence problem like no other country but no one dares to talk about that.🤷
@@adveni323 I know right, it’s almost like being able to track guns to individuals and better registration measures would allow for law enforcement to more easily find illegal sources of guns and solve gun crimes
@@adveni323 Gangs are in every city in every country. The difference is that they don't have easy access to guns, legal or illegal
It’s not about right or wrong, it never is. If that was the case every problem in the world would be relatively easily solved. It’s about keeping a certain or certain narratives alive that fit your social/religious/political groups. The most powerful force in this world is people wanting to be part of a group. The second strongest force is others exploiting this.
You have children dying in schools. Fix the gun laws.
He really said "because the government does have a responsibility to protect children" without the slightest bit of awareness, I love when they let Jon use their own words against them like that
Yeah, except that man wasn't letting Jon do it, he was just straight up doing it.
And the amended “in certain instances”. 😮
Lol he caught himself when Jon said “what?”
Actually it doesn't. It was ruled that cops have no *duty to protect you
Protection of children doesn’t mean removing rights from people. Fail
Stewart was absolutely brilliant.
He wasn't using rhetorical tricks, he just used facts to prove this guy doesn't give a flying f*** about children's lives.
We both know he does, he just has different solutions to violence. And the utter destruction of all human rights permanently isn't one of them.
@@Betelgeuse2142here's the problem. How far does the background check go? How much control over a right held by the people is to be given to he government. 80-90% of delays and denials by the FBI National Instant Check System, NICS, are in error. This is straight from the ATF agents who have come to our store to check paperwork and follow up on criminal uses of firearms. How much power does the government get over the one right that is there to keep government power in check.
@@Moose_King_05 How do universal background checks, assault weapon bans, and red flag laws with due process equate to "The utter destruction of all human rights"?
@@rehaanphansalkar4187 they remove the right to keep and bear arms and make owning firearms a privilege.
Universal background checks are useless without a 100% complete registration and database. Which would cost billions of dollars to build and maintain. Not to mention require tens of thousands of government personnel. And you would have to go door to door and search every single house.
The entire point of citizens being armed is that they have military arms and armaments so they can defend from their own. An unarmed civilian population has absolutely no rights. Only privileges granted by an over reaching government. Nothing more.
Red flag laws violate due process, among many other rights, and take the guns without any actual proof. It's a political tool to commit violence against gun owners.
@@Moose_King_05 rights and privileges have responsibilities behind them. voting, owning/driving a car, going to school, etc. are all things that have inherent responsibilities outlined in the process of doing them, and failure to maintain that responsibility through refusal, deception, or harm to others strips you of being able to take part in whatever you were doing. why should we make owning a firearm any different?
and how exactly are you not given due process through red flag laws? do you want us to throw arrest and search warrants out the window as well?
What a masterclass of getting to the point John Stewart is genuinely one of the best political minds we have. The balance between facts and emotion is super impressive, you can almost hear him about to cry mentioning the deaths of these children but he pushes through it and nails his point right home.
“This is not an anecdote Jon, this actually happened”. Unbelievable.
I love how this implies he’s told anecdotes that never actually happened.
@@537monster Yup. And this is not the guy that bags your groceries, he’s a senator. We’re screwed!
I think this airhead doesn't know the difference between a hypothetical story and anecdote. 😵💫
He clearly doesn't understand what "anecdote" means. That something is anecdotal doesn't mean it didn't happen, it means that it is very rare case taken out of proportion because while it probably happened in that instance, the alternative happens much more often. So saying "it actually happened" is not a counter to it being anecdotal. By making such a statement the person making it is just announcing he or she is an idiot.
I don't think that word means what you think it means.
I'm here today after the Mass Shooting in Maine. Jon rocks and is so brilliant in this exchange I needed to hear it again today.
That last minute is powerful.
There is nothing better than listening to an intelligent individual addressing a hypocrite.
Just listening to an intelligent person discussing anything is a treat.

@@sparetherodd cope
@@sparetherodd ok. What's your opinion on 2A? How do you feel about the bastardization of textualism in Heller and Bruen? Is "shall not be infringed" truly legally different than "Congress shall make no law?"

We have disengaged fathers here, in Australia at the same rate that you have in the US but we do not have school shootings. At All.
Brilliant John, thank you so much. I'm a Brit and I'm baffled by the number of Americans who can't see the correlation between the number of guns you own and the number of gun deaths, particularly when it's been so well demonstrated here and in Australia when gun bans were introduced.
I'm baffled by the number of Americans who can't see the correlation between the number of guns you own and the number of gun deaths
-THere's not a correlation. Look at the groups and places with highest gun ownership, and there's no correlation. White americans have the most guns per capita, their homicide rate is both lower than the national average and lower than Europe's average.
hen it's been so well demonstrated here and in Australia when gun bans were introduced.
-Australia already had a low and declining homicide rate. In the same time, the US's rate halved while the number of guns doubled.
Yeah you british might want to shut up before you get arrested for exercising free speech.
“No I’m not gonna say it, like it’s an opinion. That’s what it is. It’s firearms. More than cancer, more than car wrecks.” LOVED the way he said that.
@Tactical Wendigo not for children.
@Tactical Wendigo He clearly said for children.

Lack of discipline
I love the way he leashed him and walked him right down the path to the brutal truth.
He leashed him by interrupting him and not letting him talk.
@@morganhillfightclub2996 the guy was too embarrassed to talk because he realized his own hypocrisy 😂
@@morganhillfightclub2996 No, he just didn't let him escape the questions. And when he tried to make a false equivalence or misdirect, Stewart aggressively pulled him back.
@@Dac85 A false equivalence like what? Voting rights are the same as gun rights? Oh no, it was Jon Stewart making that false equivalence.
@@morganhillfightclub2996 I agree he is constantly interrupting and basically putting his words in senatos mouth.And one time, senator managed to turn the tables a little, he completely dodged with "you will blame it on semantics".
4:08 Oh my god, it's hilarious how he brings up an anecdote, gets called out for it, denies that it's an anecdote, and begins by saying, "This actually happened."
Brilliant, and to think that this man is a Senator is truly frightening.
The senator nervously nodding as Jon tells him “you have to register, register for the right to vote” is that of a child/student getting yelled at for misbehaving by an authority figure.
I would hate to get into an argument with Jon Stewart...he is way too smart! Which is the same reason he would NEVER run for President, unfortunately.
Its not the only thing you need to register for, that the government controls. Yet you hear it everytime, infringe on my rights, tyrannical government its such boring endless circle of a conversation.
Jon Leibowitz probably cut out the Oklahoman bringing up showing ID to buy a gun and to vote.
Notice the Senator could NOT bring himself to say you have to register to vote???? Great interview Jon!!
@@californiaslastgasp6847 There's a difference. For voting, the ID is to match your registered voting ID, and polling location against a national database. It's to prove you are who they have listed. For guns its to prove your age and give a name for a background check that does not include a national database, only in-state information. That means criminals can go across to any other states and purchase guns. On top of this, only 20 states currently do a full background check. Most of them just enter the owner into their own customer database. You have about as hard a time buying alcohol as you do guns in 32 states. So those two are not the same, which is why he couldn't say it without getting eviscerated.
The way Jon helps them build their house of cards just so he can knock it all down is fucking art.
he used a straw man argument, which is no argument atall. the fact you dont notice this means your locked in the matrix and not using critical thinking. wake up.
@@backseatsamuraiyou probably don’t even know what straw man argument is.
The senator was about to pull out anecdotes to give some legitimacy to his so called arguments. Jon shut that down quickly.
You’re as backwards as the senator lool
@@HISHAM931 May b not strawman exactly. But there's ton of lies,misinterpretations,
dishonesty,false equivalency,red herring and gaslighting employed by Jon Stewart in this video.
@@jimmy_xi9342 ok now you tell me which parts were lies, gaslighting etc. Put a timestamp on them.
All you did was say a bunch of words without substantiating anything.
@@HISHAM931Okay, let me substanstiate then. Here we go-
1) Jon believes the term "well regulated" in the 2nd amendment means controlled or supervised by the government. In the late 18th century when the 2nd amendment was written, the term well regulated meant well organized or properly functioning and not what Jon thinks it means. It certainly did not mean that the state should b controlling the militias.
(Source: Jack Norman Rakove, American historian, author and professor at Stanford University and Pulitzer Prize winner)
2) Jon says he isn't against the 2nd amendment and he doesn't wanna ban guns. But just a few moments ago he misinterpreted the phrase "well regulated" which is a collective rights argument often made by people who don't believe there's an individual right to own firearms. U can look up collective rights theory if u wanna go into details of it.
The Supreme court in 2008 District of Columbia v. Heller ruled that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects an individual's right to keep and bear arms-unconnected with service in a militia.
3) Another slight of hand Jon does here is that he uses gun deaths and not gun homicides. Gun deaths also include suicides and accidents. He intentionally uses gun deaths to pad up the numbers for adding more weight to his argument. It's not that these deaths don't matter but using them in a gun violence conversation is deceitful to say the least.
4) He talks about background checks but we already have those in place. Straw purchases r already illegal.
What they r asking for is universal background checks.
Its a well intended idea but the problem with it is that it's completely useless without a federal searchable database to check against i.e national gun registry. He draws a false equivalecy between voting and gun registration.
Gun registration doesn't act as a deterrent to crime or mass shootings. It only tells the government who the gun is registered to.
But I have to agree that gun registration isn't completely useless. It can definitely aid the government at the time of confiscating firearms as we saw in Australia,Nazi Germany,UK,China,South Africa,New Zealand to name a few. In all these places gun registration was brought in for "safety and to reduce crime/violence".
5) The leading cause of death among "children" in this country is firearms.
If u categorize 17,18 and 19 year olds engaging in gang violence as "children", then it's absolutely true🙄
What an abomination of a study this! It has been debunked so many times but idiots like Jon Stewart keep peddling the same bs over and over again. Unfortunately, dumb senators like these fail to call him out.
This is just from the first half of the video. Pay attention, may b could identify a few more by urself.
The same people talking about "fatherless children is a problem" is also the same people that refuses single women to take abortions. Oh the irony
Exactly! All BS distractions from cowardly men to protect themselves.
It's not that ironic. They're obviously not in favour of killing fatherless children just because they are fatherless while in the womb. You're saying it's ironic that they have humanity.
Even someone from other side can appreciate Jon Stewart.... 👍👍👍
Holy sh*t. That ending.... Jon just mopped the floor with that Senator.
It looked like an adolescent child being lectured by a professor!
Not a lot happening between the ears up there. Sorry to say I’m not sure he even heard the words let alone the argument

@@leahstewart3559 Yeah he totally thinks it's a fictional story...a tale of some sort. Man. That is embarrassing.
@@leahstewart3559 Also, what does he think "infringement" is? lol
I cannot WAIT to see him back on the Daily Show!
Yup excited af!!
Jon Stewart has the ability to be the best and most effective president this country has ever had. Please, for all of our sakes, run for president Jon.
Jon's pivot to voting laws is MASTERFUL!
Honestly beautiful
YES! And getting him to walk right into it when he brought up drag shows. Chef’s kiss! So perfect.
He navigated the whole conversation beautifully. A master class in informal debate.
That shits gonna be everywhere on the Internet no Second Amendment nut is going to be able to defend against that shit
He's still wrong, registering to vote is not the same as registering firearms, it's not comparable. Actually look up these stats he's using and actually scrutinize them, you'll realize how misleading he is intentionally being. 50,000 deaths a year, 54% is suicides 33% of murders is 17-35 year old black males, that's also where you get those "child" deaths from. Just actually look at the numbers from the CDC, ATF and other organizations. The answer is there if you aren't too lazy to find it.
That closing statement from Jon was so spot on. I’m honestly surprised that dude didn’t walk away in shame. Well done Mr. Stewart!
I Mean we didn't see what happend after The interview he could have walked away in shame.
These people know no shame, so I'm convinced that dude did not in fact walk away in shame. I bet he thinks he nailed it!
that would imply that Republicans actually can feel shame.
@@BeatriceKillam Yea, there is no such thing as right wing shame. They embrace hypocrisy.
People paid to lie never feel shame for their lies.
Chefs kiss!!! I know he would never run for a seat or presidency. But we do need a guy like that. Call out the BS and do what is right for the country
If this senator was so pro-gun.... why did he bring a knife to a gun fight?
I will always love watching Jon eviscerate people with their own words. Been watching it for over 20 years now, will continue to watch and applaud for as long as I’m able to do so.
I know you don’t want to Mr. Stewart, but we need people like you to stand on a debate stage and get politicians to reveal themselves to people on national tv again. In other words, for the love of everything, run for president.
I wish Jon would too. But these beasts are exhausting
Even if he decided to drop out later, the simple act of putting them into that corner on the official debate stage would be so satisfying
This guy is a certified moron.... go back to your farm dummy.
@@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121 Agreed, never donated to a campaign before, but I would give as much as I legally could just to see it happen.
Thats like asking Jon to take his own life. He has family and loved ones. Only narcissists make it these days, and not because of the system, but bc ppl are fukin idiots in 2023.
The best part about John's preparation is how he finds out all of the positions held by the guest in order to accurately point out hypocrisy, while not letting the guest lie.
Yup! Like Journalists are supposed to do!
@@Lonsoleil Or just regular interviewers, of which Jon is one.
Exactly! And these people spend all their time in a bubble where everyone tells them how right they are, etc. Then they hit the real world and get their balls shoved right down their throats....I love it.
What I want to know is WHY on earth doesn’t EVERY reporter grab these slippery grifters by the hair (metaphorically. although it would be more fun literally) and just keep repeating the question they just deflected until they get an answer?
I have watched this happen countless times in the trump cult era. A reporter asks a question & they redirect & deflect, so the reporter chases the deflection or moves on to the next question as if the goal here was quantity over quality?
Also, if it is a bunch of reporters, why doesn’t the next one say “You haven’t answered this question yet” and stay on it instead of trying to get THEIR question asked? It helps them weasel out of giving any actual answers by changing the topic they are trying to avoid.
Then the next one asks it.
Then the next one until they find an elevator & dive into it like it was a storm shelter & a tornado is coming.
na its just pick someone who isn't good at debating and doesn't have well rehearsed arguments and set up gotcha moments along with premeditated set up questions as bait.
Like over 50% of gun deaths are suicides, Just leave that out because then its not as shocking when they aren't all murders.
Or that the majority of mass shooters did or would have passed a background check.
Or gang violence accounts for a large majority of shootings, so registration, background checks or any other legal obstacles are irrelevant.
It’s like he’s talking to a child explaining why he can’t wear his pants backwards to school. John Stewart is awesome!
Jon, have mercy on the man.
one man can only take so much reasonable thinking.
Republican arguments fall apart quickly when pressed with follow-up questions. But "journalists" in the media rarely ever push back. It's frustrating. Thank you for not giving up, Jon!
Fox 'reporters' still get passes and prime seating in the White House Press Room, and all their dumbest BaBa Booey questions humored by Press Secretaries, but real journalists only get a 'No Comment' and a snide grin when asking simple yes or no questions posed to a congressional GOP lizard in the hall.
Yes, but Jon could do these kinds of follow-up questions on a debate stage, if he'd actually run.
“Journalists” & “mainstream news” both sides everything to try to look like they don’t have a bias. But sometimes the facts are clearly on one side
@Kelly Bond I personally think he could. But Jon Stewart has never wavered from the belief that he's just a comedian despite his effectiveness as a political communicator. Humble to a fault in my view because he could do a lot if he entered that world more directly
Most politicians fall apart on guns when pressed outside of their talking points. Democrats do too.
Jon gives an example of how an argument falls apart when it’s challenged by reason and reality. Good job.
Especially if you cut and paste the interview
@@ohenrysservicesjeep233 Didnt have to, the republican is making dipshit arguments like all republicans do. Never met an intelligent right winger and never will.
@@ohenrysservicesjeep233 edited or not, his points outweighed any point the senator tried making. nice try but if thats your argument, then youre clearly too stupid to reason with,
Logic and facts don't matter to Republicans when discussing the Second Amendment.
Pretty easy when the ine he is interviewing dies not even have enough basic knowledge to counter.
We love the fact so many are calling this a master piece of an interview. Someone knowledgeable on actual stats would have called BS on Jon Stewart right away. His numbers were incorrect and true 2nd amendment supporters know this.
Jon Stewart had this discussion with someone who actually does not represent the people .
He did not speak for the everyday person who is a lawful firearm owner.
Because we all have seen what happens when they actually do have a sit down with someone who actually knows stats and is well versed. That is when you all get frustrated and start changing topics and yourselves get flustered.
While you are all sitting there bragging about this interview. We just added 4 times more new firearm owners.
And remember . States are changing their stance. Constitutional carry is spreading. Mainly because the numbers you all keep throwing together are actually not supported..
Throwing gang related into the firearm stats when it is suppose to be against the 2nd amendment. So why not actually break those numbers down before calling this a win? We all know you wont. It doesn't support your narrative.
Heck even the FBI and CDC when looking in not the correct stats saw what we here on the 2nd amendment side have said all along.
Some of us laughed at this interview. Because the true fact is when you are walking the streets of Chicago or NY . It is not a legally owned firearm you will see flash before your eyes. That is a real criminal with a real illegally obtained firearm who is about to add to your over bloated misrepresented stats.
And if any if you were honest you would admit this.
Oh my god he doesn’t know what an anecdote is
2:57 that subtle smirk is absolutely classic. The total "Are you fucking serious" look he's giving him is amazing.
YES, you could see with that thought going through his head "you've just made my argument easier"
This is what every single journalist should do in every single interview with a politician. Be prepared, counter bullshit with facts, and do not back down for sake of access. This was masterful
@rbxl010 You honestly think all journalists do this? What outlets are you watching
@@Deondre_Clark “should” do. Reading is fundamental.
I thought Nathan stayed calm,focused while being grilled on a spit by our man Valiant...I would've started crying 😭.
@@Deondre_Clark uh, 🦊? Where'd dudes remark go?
That's why a lot of these politicians, especially the republicans only go to interviews with people that lick their boots, like Tucker etc. One softball question after another, all asked in a way to make the politician sound smart and reasonable.
They wouldn't dare to come close to any intelligent journalist ever, because they know, with the bs they are promoting, they can only lose such an argument.
Well done by Mr. Stewart! Intelligence vs extremism.
The saddest part of this debate is that one guy is a U.S. Senator and the other guy is a talk show host. Why can't it be the other way around???
US *state* senator, but still.
He's only an Oklahoma state senator, but he still shouldn't be allowed anywhere near any kind of public office.
Absolutely ❤️ ❤️ The USA needs a political candidate like Jon Stewart
@@Jeremy-he3chCorrection: Senators WILL get called out for made-up facts, it happens every singular day.
This should have a billion views.
This is brilliant. Bravo Jon Stewart
The fact that he wouldn’t say “register” when he was asked “what do you have to do to vote?” was epic.
Olympic level mental gymnastics
I prefered the way he walked into the 'the government has a responsibility to protect children' line before he realised and tried to pivot the second time to 'in certain circumstances'
yeah, it was funny, but it wasn't a good argument from Jon though. the point of a voter registration is to provide ID to prove who you say you are and have the valid right to vote. We already have the exact same function for guns with background checks. They check to make sure you are who you say you are and that you are allowed to exercise that right. A gun registry doesn't actually do anything to prevent crimes. A list of legal gun owners doesn't do anything to stop criminals.
@@D_Boone but the dude in the video is trying to get rid of background checks that's the point
@@riddlerx994 where did you get that information? Definitely not from this video. Jon said that he doesn’t want background checks but that’s just cause Jon like most liberals just throws words into peoples mouths and then continuously talks over them so they can’t make their point.
As a responsible gun owner I will never understand why we fear extensive background checks
Great job Jon
A THOROUGH background check is required to get a pet (dawg, kat) from an animal shelter fer krissakes. But not a gun? Whose sole function is to kill? WTF?
Because if people got background checks they wouldn’t be able to own a gun due to what may be found 😂
It's not even the gun owners at this point. The GOP are trying to use ya'll as the scapegoats for their lobbying donors. Over 70% of gun owners want common sense laws like background checks bc they too believe, those who are a danger to others, shouldn't own guns. This fight is really about money and that's it!! Smh!!
I also don't get why the first part of the second amendment doesn't get the same amount of attention. A well regulated militia; would imply that firearms should be regulated for the use in a militia m
@@rudysal1429 because republicans cherry pick, that’s why
Holy shit. That was absolutely brutal. You can see the senator’s soul leave his body
He needs to change his diaper
He has no soul, or anything even close to dignity or class. What a piece of crap
He's a Republican. He has no soul to begin with.
Wut soul????
Like a soul that had been tattered with AR-15 bullets!
Every now and then this video shows up on my feed, and it’s amazing every time.
No one can do what Jon Stewart does. This man is so special and my generation will be grateful to him for everything he does! I am so excited to find out that he will be back on the daily show! Love you Jon Stewart!
The saddest thing about this is it's the difference between a man with principals and firm beliefs vs a man with no principals and no ability to self reflect. These types of people never change their mind or ever consider they may be wrong.
You're giving them too much credit.
Bcs politicians like him aren't paid to change. They're paid to make sure than more mass shootings happen, and make sure than NRA sales spike right after as the result.
This guy is even stupider than that Arkansas attorney general that Jon interviewed a while back.
It's because he's a salesperson for guns. He's not a public servant, he's a Smith & Wesson employee.
I've come to that conclusion too, the total lack of self reflection seems like it's something a lot of conservatives really struggle with. These people have labrador retriever levels of confidence about every one of their opinions. Not to mention almost every right wing talking point curated for fox news was created in some think tank and funded by billionaires. I kinda think about it like the Eric Cartman effect, it's a constant state of being loud, smug, disingenuous, hypocritical all rolled into one trait while also projecting all of those things onto the people someone else has decided you shouldn't like, but you refuse to speak to. Oh, and also they are exactly what the dunning krugar effect would be if it was a person.
I love it when Jon makes him repeat the phrase, "the government has a responsibility to protect..."
Great "Gotcha" Moment
Looks like we should ban abortions then as that is the real leading cause of death for children in the US.
Or maybe just make all women register for an abortion so the government can track them.
The government has a duty to protect society as a whole but not the individual. And watching the lawlessness in blue cities the government isn’t even performing that duty very well.
nothing i love more than the ability to defend myself and not depend on government for that
It's simple. You can't make money from less guns.
Best part: When Dahm talked about banning drag queens because ‘the government has a responsibility to protect children’….
"The government has a responsibilty to protect children"
my jaw dropped
except they don't, if they did we would have a secret service or capital police agent at every school in America, most on the Left dont even want a school resource officer.
and he had the audacity to repeat it 😂😂😂😂

6:20 It’s like he’s a kid in kindergarten doing homework and Jon’s the parent trying to teach him by mouthing it out
“that is HYPOCRISY, at it’s highest order”. Gotta love John Stewart.
stewart was the only hypocrite i see in that video
@@SD-nj1cy what??? care to elaborate
@Chris Cleff They never do, they know nothing but "no, you" statements, projection, and repeated, easily debunkee rhetoric, changing their mind is fruitless
(e) He uses a number (50k) he pulled out his ass. There is no FBI unified crime report because they are always 3 years behind, but we can take leftist news papers accounts. they put the number at 40k. Stewart, being the liar he is keeps saying "gun deaths". He doesnt say murders. Those same news papers put the number of numbers at 10k. The rest are justifiable homicides(cops and justified self defense) and suicide which makes up over 50% of ALL gun deaths).
(f) he's making a point more guns = more death but doesnt bother to take into account how many times people used a gun in self defense, WHICH IS THE ASSERTION OF THE CONGRESSMAN. More guns = people safer. The CDC says put use a gun in self defense (they dont even have to shoot to be included) between 500,000 and 3million times PER YEAR. Stewarts entire thesis is a straw man. How many of those defensive uses of a gun would have resulted in those people being murdered? Cops dont carry guns because it makes them less safe. The more people who have a gun for self defense, the more lives will be saved.
(g) He claims theres no background checks. Stewarts smart and I'm sure he has a research staff. Theres no way he isnt aware that EVERY NEW gun as well as used gun that is sold through a FFL, including at gun shows, by federal law MUST go through a background check. The ATF monitors that very closely.
(h)I'm pro 2a, but you must have a permit!. What other right do you need a permit for? You need to register! 1st off, every gun (the overwhelming major) that goes through a background check, the government illegally keeps as a de facto gun registry). Registration leads to confiscation. Pistol brace is a perfect example. Something thats been 100% legal for over 10 years all of a sudden by fiat been declared illegal by unelected bureaucrats by making declaring they are magically rifles. So before such time as the lawsuits work they're way through the courts the alphabet boys are at your door because they know exactly what you have and where you live. The government, on a whim can make something out of whole cloth, like the bump stock. A piece of plastic the decided was a machine gun. After the law suit, it went back to not being a machine gun. So the gov shows up and confiscates and when the lawsuit is won, the gov says "gee, really sorry we destroyed all of those.
(i) How do you know who has a problem is you dont know who you're giving a gun to. Its called living in a free[?] society. Innocent until PROVEN guilty. Criminals dont buy guns legally, they're criminals. A background check catches felons and those adjudicated mentally defective (again, goes back to anti 2a lie theres no BGC, which stewart is a part of). Anyone else, if they have a restraining order or whatever, they're breaking the law by buying a gun when they shouldnt. Theres no pre-cog crime like minority report. like anyone. You can only catch someone after they committed a crime with the gun. Stewart would have the audience believe if someone has a order of protection and is murderer the cops would be stumped and not have a gun who would have shot them
(j)Chaos instead of order. uh, what?!?!?!? It IS his subjected opinion. Jesus! Is there total anarchy in his state? Are the streets running red with blood? Has government service cease to function? Stewart saying he's bringing chaos is 100% bullshit. And he knows it. His definition of chaos is allowing people to do person to person transfers of guns without government intervention (no BGC). Thats been going on since forever. There has never been a federal law requiring BGC between private individuals. If there hasnt been chaos yet, anything the politician is doing to keep the status quo wont bring chaos.
(k)Stewart claims its about saying lives, but he give zero fucks about way more dead people, he only care that people dont die from guns.
(L) makes it less safe for cops on a DV call. Great so cops know theres a person with a gun who is now so agitated they hit someone, or whatever the case may be. What does he think the cops are going to do. Come in blasting, come in With weapons drawn. We know how thing work out for people when cops are involved and their guns are out. slightest movement and cops shoot 1st ask questions later. How does that reduce gun deaths (the number stewart uses includes people smoked by cops). He also throws in a straw man about why dont cops feel safer if theres more guns in the house. Thats not premise of more guns make us safer. When seconds count, cops are minutes away. Guns make people safer because self defense/preservation is our job. VERY RARELY are cops around to save someones life. Cops write reports after the fact. Again, 500k-3mil defensive use of guns by citizens
(M) voting rights. No where in the constitution does it say we have the right to vote. The word doesnt appear in the constitution until the 14a. The constitution was amended 4 more time dealing with the subject of voting but it doesnt say anything about it being a right, unlike the 2a which clearly states its a right to bear arms. SCOTUS did rule voting was a right, but scotus can issue a different opinion in a case that could say it isnt a right.
Making him repeat "the government has a responsibility to protect kids" was genius. Will overstep the first ammendment but not the second for kids.
That was a beautiful check mate.
I enjoy a lot of Jon's positions but he fundamentally misunderstands the current decisions of the court (and laws surrounding it, I would imagine). There are many laws preventing obscene or sexual content being given to minors for a non-artistic, non-educational purposes. It is not a matter of whether or not you are infringing on someone's right when you restrict them from doing something to a child which is not even their own but whether or not the law allows the child to partake in it.
He definitely did well against the Senator from what we can see; I would love to listen to the interview uncut.
Only "in certain instances" though. Appalling.

And yet, Jon is still advocating for something negative in allowing gun control to further progress. By him lying with extremely padded stats and turning a blind eye to the actual intention of the second amendment, he’s doing a disservice to his viewers who don’t know better than to believe the things he’s saying.

Sounds like that conservative senator is pro-life in only one part of a lifecycle.
This was a master class in interviewing. It should be required viewing for any journalism student. Absolutely brilliant.
LOL, that was not an interview, it was Jon grandstanding to make a point.
when he says "The leading cause of children's death is Firearms" that implies images of little kids being shot in a school when in reality, those numbers are mostly gangsters in the cities between ages of 15-18. Anything under 18 is called a "child" in the statistics, kinda different when a 17 year old selling drugs and being involved in gang activity gets shot, it's not the same as a 6 year old child being shot in a classroom.
And those deaths almost all of them are with illegal hand guns that would not be stopped by increasing restrictions and regulations on legal gun owners or banning AR-15.
He only made "good points" if you are ignorant, sadly.
There are no journalists anymore they are just corporate spokespeople regurgitating corporate press releases and spin nobody is ever held accountable by the press.
Suddenly everything is nobody's fault
@@wh0racle3 He never said anything like that. His point was that the Senator was extremely hypocritical and biased with his beliefs

"This is not an anecdote, this actually happened" is an awesome quote
"This is not an anecdote. Also, stop using words that are too big for me to understand".

@HikerChristy * Anecdotes or personal stories doesn't mean something is fake. It just means it doesn't take in the whole picture. Policies should always be made on statistics and not just anecdotes.
@HikerChristy * Cool. Sucks that it happened but it's an anecdote because it doesn't provide context for the overarching point. "That one person..." is a bad argument when kids are killed by guns.

Three qualities of Jon Stewart I admire.
1. Sticks to facts
2. Quick wit
3. Ability to remain calm
Bonus reason: he’s a genuinely good man and a true intellectual. An intellectual to me is someone who is guided by truth and facts rather than ideology and partisanship.
Very glad someone else appreciates his calm demeanor. I was especially impressed with that because you can see in how his hand starts trembling a bit there at the end that he is *seething*. But he didn't let it faze him.

@@bidmcms3 of not having children slaughtered? I subscribe to that “ideology”. The word you are struggling for is actually “ethics”.
Jon Stewart should have asked him why we don't allow citizens who are in prison to have firearms. Is it not infringing on the fundamental rights of a criminal to take away their guns when they go to prison? If not, then doesn't that mean that the right to keep and bear arms has an asterisk whereby those who are not fit to have weapons cannot do so?
Are you naturally this stupid or did you have to work for it? Your rights are several limited when you commit a crime as part of yiour punishment. After completing your punishment, you should have a full restoration of rights. If you're too dangerous to have a full restoration of rights, then you shouldn't be out of prison.
