- Jon Stewart digs into the trial of comically corrupt Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey, and in a new segment called "How Dumb Is You?" asks the senator how he got caught engaging in such obvious illegal corruption, while government officials like Nancy Pelosi, Richard Burr, and Roy Blunt have been getting away with legal corruption for years. #DailyShow #JonStewart #corruption

Corruption is always fabulously non-partisan.
Universal truth
@@marufahmed3416 and yet treason is supported by republicans! secret stealing notwithstanding.
very well said
Maybe, but it seems to be more popular with right wing politicians...🤔
I like to say Illinois is non partisan. We had back to back govenors go to prison, one from each party.
Lobbying = Bribing. Period. We need to stop calling it Lobbying.
👍🎯🏆
Exactly. (see K- street scandal)
So you want to change the constitution
Right , lobbying equals bribery , therefore AIPAC must be the first to go.
@@angelestorres6334 yes.
Cash in the congressional jacket is so very symbolic of American politicians.
What's the old saying: "he was lining his pockets"
Yeah literally
And actors who say what they're told to say.
Hey Jon, how does it feel to be told what to do and say by the wealthy elite Capitalists who own us all?
And I don't mean Menendez, he's just another puppet playing their game, like you are.
It’s so literal as to be nothing short of surreal. Unbelievable? No apparently not.
This needs to be watched by every U.S. citizen over the age of 14.
Required reading in every school, at every age.
Not gonna lie, I would make popcorn and watch him 15 years ago in high-school.
well, if it was for All Americans sure, but he bashes Red and cuddle shames Blue.. Stewart hasn't been the same since he left the first time.
@@ericb6048 Nancy Pelosi is a Dem. and he pointed out her trading. He has spoken about Democrats support of war and Israel. He criticized both Trump and Joe for their advanced age. Also, the GOP has gone a lot more off the rails since Jon left so there's a lot more material there.
and any other country that has political awareness..
you based your democracy on ours btw.. Brit here.
Accepting bribes? What does he think he is, a Supreme Court justice?
Too bad he doesn't have to worry about civil forfeiture, that's just a problem for us serfs. Oh, you don't like it? Looks like you need a welfare check from some cops who fear for their lives.
Congress accepts bribes all the time it’s called lobbying. They’re all corrupt that’s why you’ll never have any progressive policies, they’re inherently against their donors interests.
He’s white and rich.
@@Viviorkogaming > Menendez
> white
Huh?
@@Viviorkogaming The Menendez name is of Hispanic origin.
Congress is regulated by Congress. SCOTUS is regulated by SCOTUS. Seems like we need more checks and balances.
I agree. Citizen review boards.
I mean... they did regulate themselves in this instant, no? Buddy's getting charged
Only when the Executive is a criminal. Then there is no balance of power
Right now, the best option is election day
You speak the TRUTH.. There’s an entire litany of new checks and balances that MUST be enacted and followed through on with respect to ALL who are elected to serve the people of this nation‼️🙉🙈🙊🇺🇸⚖️🇺🇸🗽🙏🕊️
"They're all in the same club, and you're not invited!"
-George Carlin
That is one of his best bits! Loved George Carlin!! And it is so freaking accurate... Never said better
It's still annoys me more how CHEAP a congressman is.
And how cheap actors are, that they will spread "both sides" propaganda.
I don't think Jon and the others at TDS even realize yet what they're doing, and for whom.
But this propaganda started back in the early 70's as a result of the wealthy elite seeing people finding great strength in solidarity, so they created the _"two sides of the same coin" propaganda, and that's how we got reagan.
There's a whole Leverage episode about how easy and cheap it is to buy one and the team--professional criminals--are shocked at how little it costs.
@@CearesOld leverage or new leverage? I never finished the first and refuse to watch the second.

This is what actual journalism looks like.
Ain’t it sad??
Journalism wishes it was this honest and silly.
You might wanna look up Last Week Tonight's episode on Journalism. Because this is not it.
The papers, reporters and news segments that Jon inserted and quoted here are the journalism.
And by that I don't mean to diminish him, the TDS or other such shows. Making such news easy to understand and entertaining is a very important aspect of letting the population know these things.
It's simply even more important to understand where the information comes from and not to forget about these hard working people, who find out the truth for all of us.
You don't know what journalism is. This is a comedy show.
@@schattentaenzerin Bingo! Seriously people, do you not get that Stewart is only COMMENTING on known stories and issues and he is doing that by QUOTING OTHER JOURNALISTS who've already done the hard work?
Are Americans that dense?
I'm so glad that John calls out everyone regardless of their political party or connections. We need more like him
Yup. He’s not biased at all. Rare.
😵💫 Psh. He's got DAT SYNDROME like Robert DeNiro. 👹
The young Turks also call out both sides you should check them out!
Hasan Minhaj do so aswell
@@kristylucero I feel like they call out both sides because they're heavily progressive. So they technically aren't calling out themselves. I don't hear them criticize much progessive action. I could be wrong though it's just what I took away from the bit I did see from TYT
Jon please never stop hosting, and I hope you live forever. Humanity needs people like you.
Only if he enjoys it. Why burden a human with humanities ails.
I much prefer John Oliver
And this is why we need a free press
Too bad the mainstream press is completely in league with politicians and corporations.
Jon Stewart man…. How badly have we missed this guy? Firing shots at all directions. This kind of corruption is what pushed so many folks over the edge to tear it all down with a game show host… glad he’s back to call them out on a weekly basis
For sure. People who watched the old version of his show understand that while he might have varying weights and biases personally or on an episode to episode basis, the throughline is consistently calling out *absurdity*.
Are you proposing Squid Game with Congress and SCOTUS?
And "the knees!"
@@PerikleZ87More like Quid Game, amirite?!? Quid Pro Quo Game? Get it? I'll see myself out.
@@therealking6202😂😂😂
All Jon Stewart's shows are great, but this is Jon at his finest. Exposing the endless corruption of politicians and their family members, with no consequences usually.
I was thinking the same thing.
This isn't about Jon. It's about American taking this issue seriously rather than just entertaiment.
I'm not American.
@@LEGACYHRO Nor I and it makes me sad that this is not going to get fixed.
Jon's delivery is perfectly scathing and no-holds-barred; I couldn't agree with you more.
I've been critical of him and disappointed sometimes, but this time he gets a big W from me.
The Daily Show needs to hire John Stewart bodyguards! We need to protect this national treasure at all cost!
He's our most important Jew.
He's spewing dangerous "both sides" propaganda because the wealthy elite Capitalists own TDS.
I'm guessing that's why Trevor left. He refused to do that. Jon seems to have lost his insight and is now unknowingly working for the RW.
meh, 2005 Stewart needed protection.. this 2024 Stewart needs to unWEF himself.
Meanwhile, Ukraine keeps having to deal with some of these people lecturing them about corruption 🤬 Thank you Jon and TDS, this was brilliant
Menendez is over here literally lining his pockets.
Hilarious to see in real time where that phrase comes from 😂😭
Let's be real. So are most American politicians probably. He just happened to be caught.
@@ChrisAlbertH47 Yes, that was the entire point of the segment. That's why John included so many examples of other politicians doing exactly the same thing.
SO was Trump.
@@ChrisAlbertH47 I mean, most stick to figurative.
"the legal corruption system in the senate is so lucrative" is terrifyingly 1000% correct.
Terrifying for who ?
Terrifying?
Ye ye "America (or how u saying it US) is most corrupted country over world. But wait didnt US was taken by jew's ??? Conclusion............😆😆😆
The terrifying thing about it, is that it's actually not legal.
Lobbying is legal, and by "Lobbying" Means they give you money, favors, stuff etc usually indirectly. They even often promised jobs as board members or advisory position(seremonial/fake position) to cash out huge amount of money.
Mr Stewart, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for what you have done for us veterans 🙏
It's great that they aren't pulling punches. If it is a Democrat/Liberal behaving badly then be consistent and call them out. Stay true to your values. This is part of the answer to reducing polarization in public debate of social and political issues. It's doesn't become okay when your team does it. Bravo. It only makes the reasonable criticism of MAGA more credible.
Yeah, but the MAGA heads refuse to acknowledge that even when it does happen because it doesn’t fit their narrative
9000% correct. I remember when President Trump was saying as to Jeffrey Epstein, but but but Bill Clinton did bad stuff too. Ok . . . then arrest them BOTH. I’m certainly not defending that.
I pray that Jon Stewart will live to 120. America needs him.
I agree but it will only help if enough people listen to what he is saying and take action. Right now his common sense is being drowned out by static from Big Money
Maybe one day you won't?
He is well liked and well needed for his mockery of the absurd politics of the day under capitalism. I do hope, way before Jon would ever turn 120, that people organize to build a better system. One Small Town Contributionism, for example, building in towns around the world so we help each other, not the corporations. Library Economies (like Andrewism speaks of) could pop up and the people govern themselves actually democratically, locally and efficiently. That's a future worth contributing to.
Jon's lame.
Jon Stewart will last however long he pleases his S&P 500 Democrat Billionaire Oligarch DNC Media Boss ... it's all the Orange Guy's Fault ... so don't forget to Vote For Jon Stewart's Knuckle-Head-Smith Joe Biden Harris ... and never mind RFK Jr ... Dr. West ... Dean Phillips ... Jill Stein ... who are all the ... Orange Guy's Fault.
Jon is my hero. Thank you for calling out Pelosi for her refusal to bring up the insider trading bill in Congress when she had the Speakership and power to do so. Both parties are complicit in their crookedness.
Agreed this is Jon at his best
I agree, I'm a Democrat/liberal and Nancy Pelosi disgusts me. There was so much that progressives wanted to bring to a vote and Nancy blacked it all. All reform that would affect her and keep her from her legal corruption...making money on the backs of taxpayers.
Individuals, not parties. The progressive dems want to end the practice that Pelosi is fond of. That doesn't apply to anyone in the GOP that I've heard of.
Yeah husband almost lost his life by intruder??? Reaping for what you sowed Nancy??? Payday comes for all regardless of party affiliation. Peace out ✌️.
@Spiritof_76 the parties are made up of Indviduals, and if the members of the party are putting individuals who are corrupt in positions of power in the party it is the whole party that is corrupt. Until Democrats put out corrupt Democrats and Republicans put out corrupt Republicans whom they know are present it is the parties that are corrupt.
How can it be that after being away for a while, now being back, the Daily Show with Jon Stewart also has its teeth back?! the other hosts really do their best, but somehow the urgency Jon brings to the table is elevated even more by his gravitas, something the others maybe are missing? I don't know, but it is a pleasure as always to hear and see Jon back behind his desk. Please never stop!!
Corruption amongst American politicians is so rampant it’s been Normalized.
Citing Menendez is like writing a speeding ticket at the Indianapolis 500.
This is why the true American Dream is "f*** you, I got mine"
Ronald Reagan.
You have to be asleep to believe it.
"M.O.B."/"C.R.E.A.M."
This country is based on finding a bag holder, from salaries to landlords.
“f*** you, I got mine” is the unofficial rallying cry of T***p’s fan club.

Is that the price for ordinary gold or for the emotional support gold?
Thank you for pointing out both sides’ hands in the corruption.
Mr. Stewart bringing the heat! We thank your knees for their service.
Thank you Jon for coming back. Its public service.
yess
I'd like an emotional support gold bar.
He had many.
Amen! Me too 😂
Me too ✋🏾!!!
Same
replace the word “an” with “many”, and i agree!
Thank you so much for exposing this, so that nothing will be done about it.
Sad but true.
Jon Stewart, welcome back. You portrait yourself as a comedian, but you are (and you know it) much more than that. Thank you for all the investigative reports and your unique expressions on all these crucial matters (who's listening?)
Keep up your great job... we NEED YOU.
His salary is $175k a year. Eff this guy straight to prison.
not before Trump.
@@user-sl6ql9lk3r agreed
Do you really think 175k a year is a lot? Are you even remotely serious? A senior civil engineer is easily above 200k$

"Emotional support bars" 😅😆🤣
From what I've heard, my entire life, they really do work wonders in easing anxiety and depression. Been trying as hard as i can, to get some of those gold emotional support bars to see if the hype is real
during wars, people's money in banks just disappeared. even cash lost its value. a lot of survivors kept gold jewellery at home, in case they ever needed to flee their homes again

Jon keeps calling them out, left and right.
This dude had gold bars, This was comically bad corruption
Like something out of Dudley-Do-Right

Americans are encountering challenges with their financial situations, particularly regarding the affordability of housing and saving for retirement.
Absolutely, the combination of increasing housing costs and stagnant income is making it harder for people to afford homes and save for retirement.
I'm getting worried about the rising housing prices. It seems like it's becoming harder to afford a home these days.
Certainly, the anxiety about retiring comfortably could lead some individuals to consider risky investments or overlook sound financial planning, potentially jeopardizing their portfolios in the future.
we shouldn't overlook the impact of the global economy on these circumstances. Economic uncertainty, rising prices, and unpredictable market shifts can exacerbate the situation and contribute to individuals' financial concerns.
This aligns perfectly with my desire to organize my finances prior to retirement. Could you provide me with access to your advisor?
Jon, bro, you gotta run for prez.. at this point in our politics, and I know, we Americans, have asked a lot from you already, but you are a voice of truth. Your ability to explain plain B.S. is what we need.. and we need your voice to smash through the hypocracy that has become our current politics.. run bro.. you'll win
Ever since Jon came back the show has been nothing but electric!
It's because he moved further left.
@@js1741 yes, thats why he did a whole episode on a democrat being a pos, typical left wing propaganda.
...rather he is the best. Level headed, kind, intelligent and seriously funny, ❤
I love Trevor
But Trevor was always handcuffed by the fact that he was young and foreign.
Compared to John, he had to walk on eggshells when pointing the idiocy of America.
Because John is American and the godfather of late night news comedy, he can be vicious. And that’s what we need right now.
@@js1741 yeah that's why there were no leftists in his monologue...oh wait...what an ignorant tool.
What is fantastic about Stewart - and what makes him the GOAT - is that he comes after all of those who deserve it.
Brilliant, as always.
Maybe he feels safe mentioning democrat crimes since Trump is going to win. After all biden locks reporters under the jail.
The real question is how much is he holding back because he's still working for a big corporation and won't be on air at all if he ever strikes too close to home. That's the depressing reality for anyone who makes their money on TV.
@@peglorhe called out apple even while his show was on apple TV.
@@peglor He legit lost his show on Apple because he wanted to go after China.
@@peglor Well, you can see the glass half-full, or you can see it half-empty. How many prominent people call out the ones Jon Stewart does?
Like Jon never left. Long may he reign
I've been studying, making, and writing about comedy for almost 40 years and never seen a comeback as assured and powerful as this. It's like the Daily Show went thru "the blip" in Marvel or something.
I'M SO SICK OF POLITICAL CORRUPTION. DISGUSTING!
It's hideous how resigned the American people are to it, because it's so pervasive (especially in a specific party: republicans) and they're essentially helpless to do anything about it.
You must be sick all the time because it goes on all the time.
Taxation is taking money by force, by threatening people with an escalation of violence. With that in mind, where is all of this corruption coming from?! I mean, with such a pure axiom of building our society, why is there a never ending flow of corruption from government? I mean, there is just no way to figure out this enigma, it's just a complete and utter mystery that no one can solve.
/facepalm
@@markedly1013yes.
The insider trading and how they manage to get away with it really stinks, but sadly there is so much more.
I thought cash in the lining of a congressional jacket was how all of the representatives stayed warm.
Menendez: "You've *unhemmed* the loose fill of my jacket, sir!"
😂😂😂
So glad that Jon is back
How did we do without this man for so long?
And here I am drowning in my medical school loans while senators pack their boots, coats and jackets with money and gold bars 😒
You forget that they also bail out each other. Wall Street and the auto makers. Rich people do look after themselves. Poor people fight with each other.
@@alwillkyup!!! They bail each other out, get PPP loans they don't have to pay back (one of Trump's buddies who owns a private jet company got 66 million). It's so disgusting! Yet it's a fight to ever actually help the average American, the very ones paying higher taxes percentage wise than any of these wealthy people.
Welcome to America now shut up and pay your loans with interest!
Meanwhile, they fight tooth and claw to against assisting students with exploitative student loan dept.
Yup. I’d like to say that they don’t sleep at night but I’m sure they do.
This needs to be a Primetime two hour special on a major network. Why do we continue to let these politicians get away with so much corruption??
Opacity, partisanship, there are a lot of reasons. But generally people tend to assume that A) It's mainly the other side, B) The other side are so bad you're better off voting for someone corrupt on your side than someone on the other side, C) The people they are voting for probably would do something about it, but are being prevented.
They get more ratings out of Law episodes

They slam a gold elevator door in all our faces collectively 😡
Democrat, Republican, or whatever TFG is, nobody is above the law.
except they are.
Not so, you forgot about Supreme Court Justices. Clarence Thomas has gotten away with similar things that Menendez is being tried for.

There's something cathartic about it.
I've definitely noticed an increase in the overall manic energy he's putting out during these segments.
And I'm SO here for it, as the kids say. It matches the overall vibe and tenor of human life circa 2024.
I felt raw visceral hatred and rage during the corruption segment.
You absolutely should feel that way. We all should.
@@anthonyjs8048 agreed with both above
Make Jon Stewart permanent on the Daily Show! We need him!
That Silvio Dante impression alone… but he’s building a team, you gotta let him do it
I blame Jon & Letterman for Trump.
If they had stayed one more year, they would have properly laughed him off the stage.
Hey, yeah! How come no one thought of that in the past?
I don’t think Jon wants to be .
He doesn't want to do this everyday.But once a week seems to be perfect for him
Nobody does this better than Jon Stewart.
I’m sick of all these people!
FACTS!!!!!
Just remember the Senator said his corruption is fine because it is a part of his culture.
That's not what he said.
Besides, he loves to ski.
jesus, imagine what trump was doing if this guy is making money on meat imports
@@angelestorres6334 I think he's talking about Bob Menendez
@@jogreeen Trump had to sign off on running his businesses and the compensation that would come from that. Then you factor in Antifa members going around burning down businesses, courts constantly harassing him for his taxes so they could know who & what to target, and endless investigations to delay his business operations.
It’s mad how many comments still bring up trump, as if we don’t already know. It’s okay to call out a dem and still know trump is more corrupt. Chill
Corruption should be the number one issue, and it's not even polled as a choice in polls. Because neither party is against it.
Wrong. Democrats are all for prosecuting Democrats and Republicans who engage in corruption. Republicans try to hide their corruption.
It is in real countries.
wow I feel like I keep up with news but I needed to read that comment. the DNC is a joke but "Corruption" "it's not even polled as a choice in polls. Because neither party is against it." hits hard.
Billionaire-owned media isn't against it, either.
Exactly, I can't think of any issue more important. "Follow the money" as they say. As a society, I wish we would start discussing this heavily, starting in school, looking at cases in both local and national politics and debating what exactly corruption is.
The better we can define it and identify it, the better we can hold politicians accountable. And, to raise self-awareness too, to make just a bit louder in peoples' heads the voice telling them they should be uneasy on that luxury skiing trip. People will still try to be corrupt of course, a la Sen Menendez, but we need to stop what we can and when we can.
It's just amazing that most people are tolerant of corruption. There's no will to do anything about it, though it would help fix so many problems that people do care about.
Thank you, Steward, funny and truthful man of America
Jon saying "but my kneeeeees hurt" is funnier than it should be.
This should be required watching in every social studies class
One of John Stewart’s best segments ☝️🫡
Great episode Jon. As an American, I’ve sadly long come to realize that America is in fact the most corrupt country on Earth in pervasiveness and dollar value, but because we are also the most powerful other countries dare not tell speak such truth!
I love Jon Stewart. He is the most observant, aware man on television!!! ♥♥♥
We had a president who worked for Russia and Saudi Arabia, but Menendez gets in trouble working for Egypt? OK, neither of them should be anywhere near government.
What about all the politicians working for AIPAC ?
You mean like biden and pelosi? Biden had taken millions over his career.
All of the US government works for Saudi Arabia. Where have you been?
Same for them AIPAC is a Israeli organization bribing Congress. Get Foreign Countries out of our Government. Republican or Democrat.
@@zufalllx the majority of the hijackers from 9/11 were Saudi. And they went to war with Iraq instead.
Meanwhile Al franken was chased from the Senate in disgrace for taking a silly picture when he was on a USO tour...
That's obviously not the reason why he was expelled. The reason is because he was too leftist and too popular and showed too much integrity. If they could pull the same trick on Bernie, they would do it in a heartbeat.
I’ll never get over how that went over .
@@deborahmillette You mean that part when said silly photo caused an avalanche of previous misconduct?
And to add one on the other side John Ensign was run out for cheating on his wife by peopel notorious for cheating ontheir wives.
@@deborahmillette I'd bet a dollar that he wouldn't fall in line and was blackmailed out. I have a feeling this happens a lot. Epstein's island was probably just the tip of an iceberg in blackmail control.
Best of the new Jon Stewart episodes so far
This is one of Jon’s finest. He and his writers are simply brilliant!
One of Jon’s best. The segue from Menendez to the rest of Congress was brilliant. He really set that up and then lowered the hammer.
Another masterclass from Jon....perfect delivery to laugh about something that in fact should enrage US citizens. The best late night talk show host BY FAR.
We are aware there is corruption thanks to
True. But he read "kilos" from the teleprompter as "kids" so I wouldn't call it a perfect delivery 😂
BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Newly come to Jon Stewart, what a hilarious, and perspicacious, man. Thanks Jon
One of the best shows he’s done. Everyone needs to watch this
I don't even understand how is it possible to get a mouthful of fresh air through these segments, when society is an open sewer, a cesspool of corruption. It is an enormous privilege to see Jon Stewart return to the Daily Show‼📈

How about Joe Biden and his long history of corruption?
Except when they are. Trump isn't in jail. He is, by definition above the law.
Coverage and commentary like this makes me so glad Jon Stewart came back to The Daily Show.
We definitely live in an Oligarchy.
This is why I despise, almost equally, both Parties. They are disgusting and oh so dishonest...There are a precious few exceptions. It's sickening..., but it's not the minority, it's most of them.
Senator Menendez needs to be held accountable for his corruption and his wife for the alleged hit-and-run
Corruption in the US Government has become the norm. There is a need to investigate all the politicians
Know how they get out of that? They will call it political motivated/partisan/smear/witch hunt. So is the two party system.
It's so common, it's been a joke for quite some time now!
The biggest corruption was when the Senate failed to convict the twice impeached demon-possessed President.
Thank you Jon for speaking truth to existence ❤
Taking after “justice” Thomas. America deserves better than this with full transparency.
Like picking up a rock and seeing all these elected officials scurrying to get away from the light.
Thanks Jon.

@@Quittin OK you kinda hit my specialist subject here - my sister was an agricultural advisor to the EU, she wrote the pig and poultry legislation.
The agriculture is NOT subsidised in the EU - YOUR WAGES are subsidised...!!! The cheapest way to pay you less is to subsidise the farmer. €1 to the farmer saves you €8 in the shop which means your employer can pay you €8 less. This worked for decades until the international commodification of foods, where the farmer sells to a merchant who trades the food on the international market. So now we have a system where the farmers bearly make a living even with subsidies, the price of food is high and hedge funds are making all the profit trading commodity futures on the open market.
Am3ric4 has the same issue - its another of the horrific unintended consequences of neoliberalism. And you think THAT is bad - the US allows the trading of WATER futures, can you imagine how horrific that is going to get in the future...!??!?!?
@@piccalillipit9211 How can you possibly have #freedom if you don't have the freedom to eat a hot dog? That's a hyperbole
Oh, man... this is prime time Jon Stewart. We neeeed people like you! And I am commenting from old Portugal... we need "how dumb is you?" very fast. Cheers, Jon, and thanks a lot.
Jon is a national treasure. You're lucky to have him!
I had once hoped that corruption would have been the hot-button political issue of my time, but instead it's "Do elections even matter?"
Well I mean, it's not like those two issues are unrelated. The corruption has created a system where only the wealthy get nominated, so our votes never actually can address the problem.
They sure do! More than ever!
And the answer is no.
Jon is actually getting even better at this. The last few weeks have been incredible.
Your bias is showing.
@@ericb6048 Eric, I preferred it when you were with Rakim.
This was really my welcome back Jon moment. He nailed this so heavy and so funny.
"How much is one kilo of gold worth?" Nothing to worry about with that internet search...
Jon, America needs you more than ever! Please keep up your great words!
I'll second that.
With 33 thousand or so others.
Sadly, my own traumatic experiences have left me no gold bars. I must be living in the wrong state...
I've had plenty of trauma in my life too - when do I get MY emotional support gold bars????????????????????????
Always the best monologue of the week!
