I will say it every time it comes up: virtually no one waits until the third trimester of pregnancy to make up their mind that they don't want to have the kid after all. Late-term abortions happen because of severe complications, danger to the mother's life, death or guaranteed death of the child, etc. They are not murders or callous acts of indifference. They are medical emergencies, tragic losses of children who were wanted, and deeply traumatic experiences for the parents. Let them have the medical care they need and let them grieve in peace.
I doubt if you are 100% correct, humans being what they are. The other side of this is that miscarriage sufferers and abortion choosers are put together in hospital, something I find extremely insensitive.
Why don't you do your research yourself. You would see that she is telling the truth.
@@EndertheWeekDo you also have a problem with being put together with jews, Muslims, atheists, or Democrats? Grownup people can handle sharing a hospital room with a person with different views. What a bigoted complaint.
@@EndertheWeek the only people seeking elective abortions in the 3rd trimester are the handful of individuals fitting in that venn diagram intersection of "doesn't want to risk their life giving birth" and "didn't know they were pregnant until 30 weeks." and even then, there is not a (licensed) doctor on this earth that will actually perform that abortion. and who is admitting abortions inpatient? you have a miscarriage, you go to a hospital for emergency care. you want an abortion, you go to an outpatient clinic. how many windmills do you want to tilt at, exactly?
3rd trimester abortions are almost always due to health issues with the mother orbthe baby is gonna be born severely deformed and live in excruciating pain for maybe 24 hrs before passing away.
This idea folk are running to go get abortions after already carrying the fetus for 5 to 6 months is nonsense and has always been nonsense.
It's always "every human life has value" until that human life is that of a foreign migrant or refugee in another country
Indeed and I bet they all support the death penalty too, gotta love that hypocrisy
Exactly, or a homeless individual
Yes, the picking and choosing and who is valid is absolutely frightening but what they want is they want more white babies so they can reign in their white male supremacy without realizing that that ship sailed once we all woke up do you wonder why they don’t like the word woke.
I know exactly why. White male supremacy has no reign if we don’t sleep.
Or a hungry child. Or someone just walking through your yard or knocking on your door! The horror!
It’s all “save the babies” and “think of the children” but when it comes to paying for school lunches or providing heath care, suddenly they’re like “eff those kids” 😒
Working as healthcare professional in an ER, I have a very different viewpoint I feel from most people who argue this. The rule is that if someone pregnant comes to us needing help, before 20 weeks, they stay at the ER, after 20 weeks, they go upstairs if they're having pregnancy related symptoms.
And the reason for this is simple, because before 20 weeks there's nothing we can do except make certain the life of the mother is not under threat. We can make sure that they're not going to have an ectopic pregnancy, or bleed to death. Threatened miscarriages are such a routine part of life that people don't even think anymore of how many pregnancies result in a miscarriage before then.
There's nothing that can be done.
So seeing people criminalized or being told no, for something I see like 10+ women come in every day in our ER for just their body not letting carry to term? All the people who say abortion is immoral, and miscarriages are god's will?
I can't reconcile that. The 'intentionally' doing something the body does every day to so many women as a natural process being disallowed, or even being criminalized is absurd.
Post 20 weeks, the argument changes, because the thing is, it's so disingenuous to claim people just want to abort post 20 weeks...? They don't. Abortions post 20 weeks happen for saving the life of the mother, or cases of horrid abnormalities incompatible with life - or that they believe will cause untold suffering to the child. It's almost always a tragedy of someone who actually desired the child.
But we see people sensationalizing the fringe cases where it's something else, that case that happens less than a decimal of a percentage point and using it to punish everyone else and claim 'No, this fringe case personally offends me, so I'm taking the option away from someone whose baby has developed without a brain.'
Something's gotta change, we can't have an honest conversation when someone is arguing with the most out there cases without having any real exposure to what most women go through.
keep writing.
When we find context, and nuance, complicated issues make sense. But sadly, those things take time, patience, and education.
❤️♾️❤️
As a non-American living in America, I cannot believe the fear (or perhaps it's hate?) when they learn a few may take malicious advantage of help. "Well, scrap the whole thing then; no one gets that help." And so life is hard for so many others.
Lol I haven't seen someone use an argument from nature logical fallacy for this debate. Well done! You've cooked enough.
The awesome thing about Jon is that when he was toe to toe with Mike Huckabee he wasn't combative, but he was having a conversation where he was an active participant and didn't just let him get his talking points out. He challenged him on what he was saying in pointed and relevant ways instead of just parroting his own talking points. And this was on a comedy show! Modern "journalists" have no excuse to not at least meet the standards of a comedy show.
Yes, Jon was exceptionally rational towards these bogus claims of mr. Huckabee. "All life is equal". HA ! In the USA ? Really ? (asking for my African American friend).
Huckabee came on many times, and it was always like this. One time did get particularly heated, but Jon often said "I disagree with almost everything you're saying, but I appreciate how you're saying it, and I'm thankful we can have this discussion." Too bad there's no room for that kind of discourse among the Republican party anymore.
Huckabee saying the government doesn't have the right to own people then quoting the founding fathers who literally owned people is a strong line of argument. /s
The founding fathers should know! It was their burden to learn these hard truths, and to keep owning them just to make a point! /s
I've got a lot to say about huckleberry!
That's what they call an illogical ad hominem.
Also we should stop talking about abortion only. Are you pro-life? Then why eat meat? Why support genocide in Gaza? Why accept mass shootings? Why allow destruction of nature by corporations? Etc.
Not to mention he talks about everyone being created equal, but then takes away all of the woman's equality and rights in the name of protecting the parasite.
"I don't think they have thought through the implications of abortion."
Sir I don't think you have thought through the implications of an unwilling person being forced to raise a human being.
Especially in a country with no universal health insurance or paid maternity leave
Not just about raising. Being forced to be a literal incubator and destroy your body giving birth. If you want the child it can be a joy, if you are forced its emotionally and physically scarring. People die in childbirth. And C-sections are horrendous. I'm psychologically scarred from a csection.
There is a lot to unpack in your statement. There is so much more to pregnancy, and delivery, well before you get to the idea of “raising” a human being. A woman who becomes pregnant and delivers a healthy child will never be the same, on so many levels. Don’t misunderstand me. Pregnancy and delivery is truly a magical thing. Most of the time. But not every time. And NO one else has a right, or even a dog in the fight, to choose for a woman if she should or shouldn’t go through it. I have had many miscarriages. I have an adopted child. I have fostered 10 children. I have had an abortion, and I have given birth. The federal government had no business in any of it.
Excellent point. . . Now do the implications of unwilling ppl being forced to support those on government aid programs.
@@MelbaToast7117there is paid maternity leave. The company pays for it.
The 50s called and wants it's hypernole back.
As a central European, the US discussions about abortion are completely nuts to experience.
As a Canadian, I worry about the effects on my country
@@James-xm3ex I can understand that! It is scary how quickly the US can change fundamental laws. Especially in times where a wannabe dictator called Trump likes to be elected. US, the land of the free? US, the greatest democracy in the world? US, etc.? Yeah, sure 🤯
@James-xm3ex Also a Canadian, and I also worry. Go look at how abortion is already restricted in New Brunswick. They are the only province refusing to fund abortions outside of hospitals, yet they are funding things like cataract surgeries in private clinics. As a result, The Canadian Civil Liberties Association is suing the province over abortion access, arguing New Brunswick is violating the Constitution and the Canada Health Act.
The federal government commissioned a study, and found yes, NB was restricting access, but they also concluded that the Constitution and the Canada Health Act do not give Ottawa a clear-cut ability to pressure New Brunswick on the subject.
As an American, the US discussions about abortion are completely nuts to experience.
@@yQaT735M I was going to say that, word for word.
Mike huckabees statement about 'owning a person' is hillarious given modern 'parental rights'
And then he references the founding fathers... many of whom literally owned other people.
@@user-zb9lv3gh8syeah, those inalienable rights, but not for the people they considered to be less than human
@@mhh0111 To be fair, Jefferson's rough drafts of the declaration denounced slavery but it was barred from the final version...Because they needed support to do the revolution at all, and a lot of their would-be supporters thrived using slavery. It was really the best option available at the time to just plant the seeds of equality. They harvested...Eventually.
@@grabble7605and yet he made a 14-year old his mistress and never cared to free her... all while being one of the biggest slavers in Virginia. We all know who was really doing the planting 🤷
I do not understand how a country can be so pro-life and yet be so anti-life when it comes to protecting people from guns. Absolutely baffling.
Agreed. But the other side can also say the opposite on both those points and it will also be just as baffling. Both sides contradict themselves a lot.
And Healthcare, and environmental protections, and traffic deaths, and workplace safety regulations...
Anti social programs... basically anti-born-people.
Easy - Guns allow you to defend yourself from criminals. Pro-life protects the defenceless. Both are about defending innocent life.
Same reason the country is endlessly concerned about labor shortages for essential jobs (janitors, waste management, grocery store, fast food, etc. etc. etc.) but won't pay them well, or accept the immigrants that are trying to come over in droves, willing to do that work.
It's frightening how far back we've come...
Make America Dumb Again.
Right wing ideology is a weird regressive mental illness, and we're all suffering from having to deal with those afflicted with it.
We were never far ahead.
@@juanmansego6267
Agreed.
People didnt bother to vote and those that did handed it to trump. US did this to themselves.
I always think of the line from "Veep" where Julia Louis-Dreyfus says, "Let's face it, if men got pregnant, you could get an abortion at an ATM."
She's absolutely correct. There's isn't a single American man who would allow the government to take control of our bodies, which is exactly what the GOP is advocating by outlawing any and all abortions. We'd burn down the Capitol before that happened.
GOP: "Keep the gov't out of my private business!!!"
Also GOP: "We, the gov't, have taken control of your utmost private business!!!"
hear, hear. 👏 Absolutely true. !
"No one is worth more than another, no one is worth less than another." This has been proven false time and time again by our politicians and society at large.
They constantly prove this by putting a living breathing human woman as less than a collection of cells
Should it not be true?
@@paulbutkovich6103 In a perfect world, no. But this world is far from perfect and humans are severely flawed creatures.
My view on abortion is simple “it’s best done by a trained doctor rather than with a coat hanger”
This!
My view on reproductive rights : Don't get pregnant and have a trained doctor destroy a viable human being
@@EndertheWeek obvious bait 🥱🥱
@@EndertheWeek People aren't always given that choice, and even when they make a mistake a potential future human shouldn't be put above the life of a fully fledged person's life. :)
@@EndertheWeekabstinence birth control has failed. Accidents happen. I prefer birth, but I don't own my neighbors or my granddaughters. I have 4.
Our Founding Fathers had no problem with abortion. Benjamin Franklin wrote a pamphlet on methods for abortions and the services were advertised in newspapers.
That makes sense. Franklin probably caused a lot of unplanned pregnancies.
Yea... the Mike interview was so painful to watch. "All men are created equal." Right... except it was OBVIOUS that such a statement doesn't include ALL lives. It certainly didn't include indigenous or black people. But sure, babies, that's TOTALLY what they meant... 🙄
Same with the Bible too, which talks about "bitter waters" and never once is anti abortion 🤦♂️ this is about patriarchal Imperialism. Nothing more and never was. Least imo
@@quietnerdythingFor sure. Man was a freak!😅😅
@@platoniczombieor women. People always forget that it’s only been about 50 years since woman’s husband could legally beat her.
What some don't seem to get is that after a miscarriage, quite often, a woman needs a D&C. This would be considered a Dr assisted abortion procedure. It can be absolutely necessary to save the expectant mother's life.
tru dat
But, but, but... as someone who isn't a medical professional, but got elected somehow, I don't need to 'get it', in fact, I don't need to understand abortion at all to say "I'm pro-life" out-loud, then, a ton quieter "until they're born, then, guns for all!"
It's insane that anyone who isn't a doctor has a say in this.
No. It’s not an abortion. This is a lie
It'll never cease to amaze me how the people yelling "every life is sacred" are the same ones who want everybody to have guns, support the death penalty and are predominantly pro-war.
MaKeS a LoT oF sEnSe!
So you think executing the most disgusting threats to our society justifies killing babies?? You’re not nearly as smart as you think you are 😂
‘Predominantly pro-war’? Which side of politics is pushing the Ukraine War? Which side is resisting the pointless slaughter of Ukrainian men?
You’re an utter 🤡
Takes decades to get rights, takes days to lose them.
it's almost like the opportunity should've been taken at some point to codify this into law, rather than teetering eternally on a single non-binding "precedent"
@@emw8386in the one opportunity dems had to codify it into law they passed Obamacare instead, which republicans are still trying to get rid of. There never was an opportunity to codify it given that republicans are against it.
price of freedom... eternal vigilance
It takes only a small part of one day to vote for rights. If enough people vote for rights, they get rights.
@@emw8386Filibustered every time tried. With both Joe Mansion and Kyrsten Sinema leaving, if dems retain the senate they might just get rid of the filibuster and then we could once again meet the constitutional requirement that "all votes shall by by majority vote." Not super-majority, aside from those specifically mentioned in the constitution.
Abortion is not just for ending pregnancy. Abortion is removing all tissues and fluids related to pregnancy. If the fetus never developed and has no viability, you still need an Abortion to remove it.
Yep. It’s a D&C
@@itsravenbabii17 but that's not what they write in the patient chart. Words have meaning.
The craziest thing is that it doesn't even have to be related to pregnancy! I know someone who had uterine polyps, and because of the state she lived in, having them removed was legally considered an abortive procedure because it was ANY tissue being removed. Absolutely nuts!
@@adria89my friend had a miscarriage and had to have a D&C and it was labeled on her charts as an abortion. When she saw it she said it shocked her to the core.

Yeah buddy. Welcome to the channel.
"What happens when we train the next generation that it's okay to take a human life when that life becomes an interference with ours," says the party advocating for Stand Your Ground laws that allow you to use lethal force against people walking through your yard.
Previous generations (until the late 1880s when abortion was outlawed) of Americans had no problem with abortion. They didn’t conflate it with other issues and they didn’t become a horrific society. He’s condemning our founders for what they believed in and practiced themselves.
It was interesting to see him make abortion about himself. I think he’s worried his kids will ditch him in a home. To be fair, I absolutely would.
@@nope7823So would I.😅

6:17 I forgot he brought up our Founding Fathers in the same thought train as no one has the right to own another person?
Your Honor, I present to you definitive proof of why we need to better fund education.
They didn't like slavery they just knew trying to make that fight would not unite the country and all their efforts would have ended there. So they put it in the language and allowed future generations the power to solve the issue. It is the same reason Abe Lincoln did not plan to free slaves. He did not want to destroy the union.
The main argument in favor of slavery was same argument used by pro-choice crowd. It isn't a human is what they say
Commenting here from 2024 where two of my closest friends spouses almost died in childbirth in the united states. Everyone talks about sanctity of life. But nobody talks about the fact that just carrying a child to term is in an itself, a risk. Nor are they talking about the permanent changes that can be inflicted to a woman's body after going through childbirth. The government trying to take away choice from women is criminal.
Yes! I also know two women who almost died. Their families are not going to risk another pregnancy, and that's their choice! I had two very "EASY" childbirth experiences and still ended up scarred and taking years to get back in shape. Pregnancy is RISKY.
I’ve always “loved” the argument about every life having value. Does that include the mother’s life? Or is she just a bag of holding for your anti choice rhetoric? And if this valued life you’re talking about is female, at what point does she become just a bag of holding to you?
There are millions of women talking about this. Most of whom are being demonized. When they listen to us they twist our words and our intent . It's like shouting into the wind .
@@sarina76667Exactly 💯
They don't care about the mother's life.
That bit of jumping to all the male correspondents was hilarious, crazy to see Steve Carrell and Colbert as correspondents
The period of him being a correspondent and then hosting the Colbert Report was definitely the highlight
I thought it was especially hilarious that Carell interrupted his actual wife, Nancy. That stink eye felt very authentic.
Not to mention Mo Rocca
Man, that clip of Jon talking to Mike Huckabee really drives home how insane Mike has grown in his old age.
Late term abortions (which isn’t even a medically recognized term) are rare and are almost entirely cases where someone desperately wants a baby, but the fetus has a condition that is “not compatible with life”.
90% of abortions here in Ottawa are performed on women who want a healthy baby but can't bring a healthy foetus to term. The average age of first childbirth is 36, with many healthy births to women in their mid 40s. Children are very expensive, and parents are right to delay until they have paid off debts and are financially ready... If Conservatives are worried about the long term implications of a 1.3 fertility rate, let them declare so and take appropriate measures to incentivize wanted pregnancies, and not bring contorted religulous notions about where life begins into it...
Exactly!
And, ironically, it *is* the conservatives in the US who are providing any incentive to working class families to have kids by driving policies that lower inflation (at least more-so than the liberals).
@rosenfaust as a new mother I can’t imagine forcing this responsibility on someone who neither wants or can handle easing a child. Raising a child is for life and the US in particular is extremely quick to blame the individual and throw them out in the cold as a consequence of their ‘choices’.
Also not your body not your choice. Healthcare is between a woman and her doctor and none of your fookin’ business.
You've got an excellent point.. there's definitely more who try to have kids later in life.. that comes with alot of problems that may need abortion
(because the world is too expensive for families), especially if you have college loans to pay off..
My generation and the next generations are some of the poorest so starting families late in life will be a normal
(Unless you have an accident.. then you may want an abortion because your just not ready) of course the very old politicians don't Understand how a woman works much less their body.. they didn't grow in a world where women got be real people with a voice or choice
They just want to live these ridiculous nostalgia fantasy 😒 and send women back into the 1950s
Except that we can't go back to that.. were more back to the 1930s... on the verge of a great depression every other day
@@Yukosan13 were canadian, its a better country
For as long as we've been listening to this debate, the pro-birther argument has never once made an ounce of sense.
The anti women points make a lot of sense,… from the viewpoint of religious indoctrination and hatred of women, lack of knowledge about female atonomy…
You are just too well informed, clearly a problem ☺️
Oh come on. You can still support the right to abortion and acknowledge the pro life position. Even John Stewart said how impactful it was to see the ultrasound of his kids. It’s a living, growing thing inside of a pregnant woman. To pretend otherwise just for political gain is insane.
Pro FORCED birth
@indifferentadvocate1737 pro-life and pro-birth are two significantly different things. Someone who's pro-choice can choose life. But pro-birth people only want women to be incubators. Being pro-life means being for prenatal care, it means being for a national healthcare system, it means being for paid parental leave, it means being for gun reform, it means being anti-war. That is actual pro-life, not inflicting an outdated system of oppression on women because you don't like the fact that they have options.
So, you don't think the government should force women to give birth against their will?
Gotta love that no one pointed out that birth control fixes or at least treats a myriad of issues (endometriosis, adenomyosis, PCOS, etc) and therefore should be covered by insurance regardless.
Watching this enrages me. We've been fighting for our rights for so long and now they've been taken away, in this day and age its shameful!!
"It comes down to this: can a person own another person? Our founding fathers believed that everyone had equal rights."
Yeah, unless you were a woman, Black, or Indian.
White woman, Black or American Indian (women come in Black and American Indian too).
Or any race other than white.
and also... A clump of cells is not another person.
The Mike Huckabee segment was a perfect example of how someone in his position is unable to argue his position as logic gradually erodes his argument. By the end of that segment he was clutching at anything he could.
But it also shows how politicians used to be respectful people…I disagreed with everything he said but still felt a sense of goodwill coming from him, and respect for those who hold different opinions. “I don’t think [liberals] actually like abortions” Nowadays Republican politicians will act like liberals get abortions like it’s a fun hobby!
Yes! This! It was a polite and respectful debate. I miss that. @@SubberCommentator900
@@SubberCommentator900 Well you are a liberal sucker then. Why would you have sympathy for a monster? If you earnestly care about the abortion issue, you would realise that Huckabee is against any funding to help anyone having an abortion, meaning that as a governor, he was directly responsible to thousand of woman and families suffering from his delusional policies.
And that's just one of his disgusting policy position. Why do you care more about him being "polite" than what he actually does, or at least used to do.
Reconsider the way you look at politics. The way americans in particular fantasize about bipartisanship and politeness over the material life of people is gross and shameful.
@@SubberCommentator900I met Mike Huckabee almost 20 years ago when he came to speak at my university. He was a really respectful and polite man. You see him now and he’s given in to the temptation to be vile in pursuit of attention and support. It’s weird seeing his interview with Jon compared to how he speaks now.
@@SubberCommentator900I agree, it was a real conversation, two people talking respectfully, refreshing to see two opposite points without any overdramatic stand for clicks.
Here you can really see how he settled in to his job. In those days he was a comedian first, and being on the comedy channel, all his efforts were on trying to be funny. Around the time of his interview on "Crossfire", he started really flexing his own intellect, with new respect for his audience. He still makes us laugh, but he also makes us think. Rock on, Jon!
It's real simple:
You can decide for yourself. But NOT other people.
Something I learned studying Global Health at University of Washington - reproductive rights, access to reproduction control, abortions, contraception, is the single best measure of a nation's economic wellness, by a massive margin. No rights, no abortion access, is the literal best way to stay a 3rd world country. Introducing reproductive rights, abortion access, is the literal best way to rapidly improve standards of living. Anti-abortion policies are anti-wealth, anti-health, anti-hope.
But that's exactly what these asshats want- they want Americans scared and divided and insecure, because that's when people are willing to vote against their own self-interest. Fascism doesn't take root in economically secure times. The 1% want to rule everything, and to do that, they need everyone lower on the food chain fighting each other and scrabbling like rats. Dictators don't care if they control third world countries so long as they're in control. (See, for example, Nigeria. The princes live extravagant lifestyles based on massive bribes from oil companies while the average person is too scared of bandits to visit relatives on the other side of the country.)
I wish more people would make this point.
Any data or references that you could post would be appreciated
As I have said for decades: the US is not a developed country. We lag behind in human rights, civil rights, education, healthcare, justice, transparency/corruption, accountability, and more. We are not a developed country. We're a rich country trying to devolve instead of develop to keep our feudalistic system afloat.
Yeah who cares about sustainability and population growth?! To be honest white women utilize abortions more and it looks like these white men in power want to ensure there are higher populations of Caucasians moving forward. If you do the research!
Exactly. And that explains why the right wing opposes reproductive rights. They need to keep poor people poor, to prevent them from becoming educated and voting against right-wing ideology.
It is such a joy to have Jon Stewart back!
Even his replays 😀
It’s a joy to see Jon Stewart black? Jon Stewart is black?
I feel like he's improved with age. His delivery is better, and he seems more passionate and less tongue in cheek.
Oh yeah 👍
That was not engrained in law. That was in the Declaration of Independence, Huckabee!!

Laws tend to follow humanity, like definitions in a dictionary, @@EndertheWeek. Slavery used to be legal. We made it illegal but people don't always obey laws. If you're bickering over the letter of the law, you're probably trying to get away with stuff. Decent people understand the spirit of the law, so they put their shopping cart back. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here
So if the fetus isn't just your body, then it's not your business aborting it?
Equal, except for that whole 3/5ths thing. Right Mikey? Reminder these people aren’t ProLife, they are AntiChoice.

I just want a straightforward way to watch old daily show episodes rather than montages. I was too young to be watching but would still be interested in seeing them.
I had the immense pleasure of seeing the Daily Show with JS in December 2006. His show got me interested in politics and news. So glad to see him back!
The IVF conversation is maddening. Every person going through ivf wishes nothing more than that each embryo is a child. But it’s not reality, as many are painfully aware.
Even that's not quite right. They want one or two of them to be a child. But the process always involves producing an excess that needs to be destroyed at some point.
It's why the recent Alabama ruling was a thing in the first place; because IVF facilities store more than they need and only pick the most promising for implantation.
This is somewhat of a transhumanism political argument, they're just replacing luddite with church, and transhumanists with scientists... we're trying to make the world better through our current medical technologies, they're trying an amish way (not saying evil, just "without technology").
And what does pointing to a 4 year old prove about the embryo & later fetus she used to be? After that embryo was implanted and took, it grew like any other fetus and eventually became a born baby. What does an independently alive 4 year old have to do with the conversation any more than any other living person on the planet?
You're not alone.
@@OriginalPiManyup, and some embryos straight up die for unknown reasons without intervention.
That 2000 cast was insane!!!
All the OG Mad Lads and ladies were there.
Dictating what a woman can or in this case can't do with her body, literally tramples over her right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
"Can a person own another person? Our founding fathers said that hold these truths to be self-evident and that all people are created equal."
Okay Mike I need to make a compromise with you. You don't have to agree with me all of the way though, you just have to meet me three-fifths of the way.
Ah, like a slaves value compared to regular people
im liking these compilations of what Stewart has been advocating for years
Jon Stewart is still incredibly hilarious, all these years later. Keep up the great work!
check out a movie called 'death to smoochy' with him in it. excellent movie.
@@kanedNunable I've heard of that movie, but I've never seen it. I'll check it out. Thanks!
@@kanedNunableunderrated movie for sure!!
👏👏👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳
The older I get, the more absurd and indefensible pro-life positions seem. Just admit this is all about your religion. Pro-life people believe they should impose their religious view of when human life begins on everyone.
Jon is back. Each show has been a world of learning truth. Our world has a chance now
“Can the government own the mother?” 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
No one other than the woman considering an abortion (for whatever reason it may be) and her doctor should be making a medical decision for that woman. PERIOD. FULL STOP.
I loved the "no person owns another person's body" statement right after arguing that a woman loses the right to her own body if she's pregnant. As if the fetus now owns her body.
@@furiousapplesackYes, it looks horribly like a religious argument for slavery to save another's life. Next step: if you are a immune match, you can be forced to have an operation to give bone marrow to a relative you never met.
That is a decision best left to the individual states. The Pro life group believes that women do not have a right to their own body the moment they become pregnant, because they are not pro life they are anti-women. If you disagree then you better vote in Nov. mark your calendar.
there is something called medical ethics all doctors are supposed to adhere to. there are ethical committees in hospitals. it's not just "hey i want this" "okay yeah let's do it"!
@@nawra77 Everyone's aware, but I'm not seeing anything in your comment where you actually respond to the words in OP's comment.
It’s really awful how far back we seem to be going

I'm so incredibly glad that we don't have to see or hear Mike Huckabee nearly as much anymore.
He gifted us his lovely daughter Sarah.
I remember watching all of these clips live! 😆

Actually, the constitution says “all men are created equal”. Something that is a very self-evident truth if you are a woman and/or BIPOC living in America.
Except the slaves.
Declaration of Independence*
The Constitution said that black folks only count as 3/5ths of a person
If a man is mentally ill or neurodivergent he is most definitely not equal in the eyes of these right-wing lunatics.
Y’all notice huckabee got the declaration of independence line word-for-word but conveniently said “people” instead of “men”
I feel like these deep cuts are going to be background for the Monday segments... I'm in... I don't have cable, and I'm not going to get it, but I'll watch the segments and you'll get the ad revenue.
A half hour a week isn't going to make me get cable again. Love JS, glad he's back, even part time.
I'd love to contribute to an episode of who JS being back only one day a week is the strongest argument for a 4 day work week ever put forward.
I do think its brilliant though, now watching more of this vid, how such opposed opinions are able to carry on a respectful conversation. Hurray to both of them
I didn't know how much I missed you John Stewart!
They want to remove woman’s right to vote next
He wanted to retire, but his sense of duty drug him back. Respect.
I knew the first MD, Dr. David Gunn who was murdered in early nineties. It still haunts me. It is so much worse today.
I wish there was a time log/list of every clip in this compilation. You really see the evolution of tv production and Jon Stewart.
No episode of present day Jon?
I like how Huckabee casually slides support for filial laws in there. Glad hes out of office. Making paying a company money for something you didnt agree to is insanity.
I was surprised that Jon didn't pick up on Huckabee miquoting the founding fathers. He said all people were created equal. The Declaration of Independence has 'all men are created equal' written in it. Not to mention that slaves were counted as 3/5 of a person in the Constitution.
Exactly. As if it’s the same exact thing and shows how he is instead worried about not being taken care of as a senior. So he is going to make situations much harder to where people can’t take care of their elder? And wouldn’t he want to set aside money for when he’s an elder? And if taking care of seniors is very important then why don’t they get dental insurance/have to pay extra for insurance after turning a certain age/pay for their medicine/not always able to get caregivers or reimbursement to help family members who are caregivers for their family so they could afford the time, energy, and income needed to be able to do so?? Frustrating on all levels 😢
@@ambercrombie46 The Repubes love to pick and chose their ethical high horses. Logic is really not involved, until they have to explain how/why they strongly support one aspect but ignore the rest of being "pro-life." They are pro-fetus and that is all.
@@mrvlsmrvThe 3/5ths compromise didn't happen until 11 years after the declaration.
Yes, he's out of office, but Surrogate Sarah has taken his place ...
The digital de-aging used on Jon for this episode is incredible.
Too bad the image quality suffered when they had it set too strong near the beginning.
LOL
Why is there no episode today? 😢
Seemed to weaken as the episode went on, though.
@@tambetott626 seems like the late night shows are on break this week. seth meyers is off this week as well.
Jon educating people does a better job than American schools, politicians, and news channels. Make this man President.
Other talks shows have gone for a break, but the daily show goes on, 6th successive week for a Jon Stewart segment.
What IS IT with America and extremism.
It's Conservative ideology. It's a spectrum that consists of several continuums, Centrist ideology -> ideological Conservatism -> Nationalistic ideology -> Fascistic ideology. Given enough time, usually generational, even a family with a Centrist ideology will end up having a Fascistic ideology.
Getting into an echo chamber vastly speeds this process up and you can see this in individuals. When Fox News started its programming was low ideological Conservatism and over time it has increased to Nationalistic ideology with some dog-whistling into Fascistic ideology. The latter was reduced significantly with the firing of Tucker Carlson. Give it time though and it'll be back.
We're #1
There is no compromise when there are ideologues who believe they’re doing “God’s work.”

2:24 Steve Carell calling in from home 😂
Loved seeing the old correspondents!
Watching that interview between him and Huckabee makes me realize how much discourse has devolved. Even if I vehemently disagree with Huckabee's point of view, I can respect that the conversation was civil and to some degree productive. That never happens between two people on opposite sides of a hot button issue like this anymore.
It's as if everyone forgot how to disagree without being disagreeable.
Discourse about a hypothetical is different then discourse about something that has already happened and taken rights and privileges away from people.
“He may be a vile human being but at least he was polite about it”
Voting outcomes> discourse civility
I disagree that it was productive. Civil for sure. He went to a strawman within 45 seconds, it wasn't productive at all.
It's bewildering to see a pro-life advocate have a civil discussion, and being chill enough to laugh at the jokes. We're beyond those times sadly.
You must not venture outside of the echo-chamber very often
No, I don't think we are. I think that's what they want you to believe though.
I don't believe that Mike Huckabee accusing the other side of not thinking things through qualifies as being civil.
He's being incredibly insulting, just not in as blatant a way as the "f*** you feelings" crowd would be
no disrespect but a performative civil discussion means nothing when dealing w/ such fundamentalists. i believe it is in fact counter-productive...
the fundamentalists never ever really care(d) what others think. they just need to appear sane to us so that they can use tricks to get into a position where they can force everyone to follow their believes. that's the whole game.
what greater proof we do f need than that they brought back actual horror stories in their states?? f their 'performative civility' and f their composure, they're f insane...
the second clip was absolutely perfect
Did i miss an episode im not sure if hes off this week or im just missing it idk :( dont mind seeing old clips but looking forward every monday to seeing a new oneI hope you guys upload them all
It still doesn’t make sense to me how the pro gun party is the same as the pro LIFE party
Just try not to think about it too much...similar to the concept of heaven. If you think about it too much, you wonder where you live, like do you have a house?
Because pro life is a misnomer for sure. They are pro control of women, if anything. They don't give two bits about their lifes or their babies lifes. Otherwise they would be pro free diapers, daycare, education... Etc.
Because they don't stand for anything.
Hypocrisy. Those same morons who say "oh this part of the bible should be taken literal but, oh, this other part was metaphorical" they're freaks
Logical consistency is non-existent in politics sadly
When people argue against abortion rights to me, I reply that I do not recognize anyone's authority to demand a woman must carry her unborn child to term.
But you do recognize someone’s right to prevent a parent from abusing their child? Do parents not have any responsibility to their offspring? Does that responsibility disappear if the parent decides they never wanted the child?
@@hettinga359 When a child is born it's rights vest as it is a separate person. Abandoning or abusing a child because the parent(s) never wanted it are BS excuses to real crimes.
@@hettinga359There actually is already a perfectly legal process for a parent to discharge their responsibilities, yes. It's called adoption.
@@Guy_With_A_Laser but if someone neglects to feed their child, puts them in dangerous situations, or even kills them they are punished by the law -and rightly so

Come on... only a few weeks in, and already the first clip show?
😁 ...great show!
Funny seeing Steve Carell and Nancy Walls in a skit together knowing they were married in real life. Took me a second to realize that was "Carol Stills" from The Office.
Warms my heart to see a civil discussion on this topic. Or any topic for that matter. I miss those days.
It may have been civil but on Huckabees part it was thoroughly dishonest. In addition, it wasn't a discourse as Jon wasn't allowed to fully lay any counter arguments.
@@KINDaf my comment had nothing to do with what was discussed but how it was discussed. No middle ground or peace will ever happen if we continue to scream at each other. This will only divide us more and make all these issues exponentially worse.
@@binbots then it wasn't an actual discourse. Solely a one sided interview. Discourse allows for both talking points to occure.
@@KINDaf”it wasn’t a discourse because I don’t agree with one of the sides.” Congrats on being a part of our current problem.
@@KINDaf ok fine. It was nice to see a civil interview with an alternative point of view. Better?
Every life has value. And so why do we have the death penalty?
We will always need you Jon Stewart - and we love you ❤
Brillant! And spot on!!
Vote blue, people!! Best wishes from abroad in Europe/Switzerland!! Thank you!! 💙💙
Here’s my take: while I am generally against abortion morally (obviously sometimes there is no other option which I understand), I will never judge someone for it.
And the government has no right to insert themselves into your doctors appointments. Whatever happens to your body is between you and your doctor. Period. Ain’t no one else’s business.
I appreciate that. We'd be a lot better off if people would stop trying to make things illegal that they just don't like. Tired of people coming at this like, "There's this thing I personally wouldn't do, so no one else should be allowed to!"
Yep, the guidelines are that while I rigorously advocate for abortion rights I hope that nobody will need one; and if you don't like abortion, don't get one.
Peace be with all.
thank you. Like nobody should be forced to actually undergo abortion and nobody should be forced to carry a baby to full term.
Thanks again
oh man that entire last segment starting at 8:41 is just pure gold. I forgot how funny that show was when it was firing on all cylinders.
The more things change, the more they stay the same, man.
You are a bot. So yeah.
@@andybaldman
Nah, NewMessage is a real person who just has a lot of time on their hands. They've been commenting on videos without tedious copy pasting for years, and that predates modern LLM AIs so they couldn't be an AI bot.
And I recall a comment years ago where they revealed they are Canadian.
I have doubts about the bot status or paid propagandist status of a few users, but I have no doubt that NewMessage is real and almost certainly not paid to be here.
“The issue is so much more than about the pragmatic question of whether or not someone should have access to a medical procedure, it’s actually about this nebulous principle I claim to have and lord over my political opponents when it’s convenient (and completely ignore when it isn’t)”. Thanks Mike! So glad you really contributed to the abortion conversation! There’s a medical procedure that’s really popular in Canada you should look into
Wow... I feel old... but Jon GOT old. lol
Still one of the best sources of edutainment.
Great example of engaging with different views in a civilized reasoned manner. When opposing views are debated people can understand the positions and make their own informed decision.
I also found it to be fair.
06:15 The founding fathers said that all MEN are created equal, not all PEOPLE - and I think they knew what they were saying when they put it that way.
The men that wrote “all men are created equal” did so while owning other humans that they considered to be 3/5ths of a person. Until 1828 men had to own property to even have the fundamental American right to vote. When the founding fathers said that they only meant wealthy white men are equal
Thank you for coming back this year. We need you to help us through the year ahead!!!
Wow. Back when people who disagree with each other could sit down and have a respectful healthy dialogue. I miss those days.
“Hold that thought honey”, switches to Nancy’s soon-to-be husband, followed by a young Colbert 👌🏻
Jon Stewart has brought us so much in satire and basic human decency over the years. So grateful he’s back💙
“If we outlaw abortion only outlaws will have abortions”… Sounds a lot like what second amendment purists say when outlawing some guns comes in a conversation.
That's the joke.
"If we outlaw innocent things, then innocent people will be labeled outlaws." I feel like that encapsulates the problem with that mentality rather nicely.
Well very few people want to completely outlaw guns. Most folk just want regulation to ensure competence.
@@MrRawrCEO Exactly. I own guns. And I have no issue with gun ownership. But there needs to be higher standards,enforcement and accountability for negligence.
I support ammunition being marked in order to trace them better. Stronger background checks and red flag laws. And encouraging 2-3 year cycle of weapons training at a very small cost in order to promote responsible gun ownership.
@6:16 The clump of cells doesn't have a SSN, it is not a US citizen with rights or protections until birth.
Continue your work Jon. And thank you.
I am 100% pro choice and for abortion. Still, it was surprisingly refreshing to see two adults talk about a polarazing subject in a civil, gentle tone, even with humor and some sort of "we don't agree, but let's talk about it". Hardly ever happens anymore, anywhere.
Use the term: Pro-healthcare and privacy. The "pro-life" argument cleverly puts nearly all ways of saying you are for women's healthcare rights like you are a callous butcher. Pro-choice (they will say life is not a choice), Pro-abortion (I don't think I need to even explain this one...). But pro-healthcare says it all without the women's rights people sounding like all they want to do is cut up babies and it's harder to argue against.
That really struck me too... like oh yeah, remember when people on different sides of an issue would actually talk to each other 🙃
It was quite calming, even John trying to quiet the audience after than incidental burn. I dislike Huckabee deeply, but I appreciated that intentional exchange.
