Jon Stewart was famous once he had a TV show over at comedy central.
It was never that amusing, it was never that highly rated, but
it was much lauded by the rest of the media.
They loved him.
But then, right around the end of the Obama administration,
Jon Stewart kind of disappeared and you didn't hear anything from him.
Well, he has resurfaced, he showed up in Washington DC the other day looking like
a guy who lives in the men's room at your public library,
eating imaginary insects out of the air.
And he was there to get for some reason to a shouting match,
with a senior editor of human events called Jack Sabia.
>> [INAUDIBLE].
>> What's the problem?
>> [NOISE].
>> Why is John, I'm not even against you guys.
>> [NOISE].
>> What are you doing?
>> That's Jon Stewart?
The famous Jon Stewart looks like a homeless mental patient.
He's shrieking and disheveled and very short.
Really short.
Too short to date.
Was he always that short?
>> What an odd run from Tucker Carlson?
As he was going through, talking about Jon Stewart, and how angry he is at him,
Tucker Carlson there did not mention what the hell all this was about at all.
I wonder why we're gonna get to that in a second, but he's so mad at Jon Stewart.
He went to this whole thing about him being compared to a homeless folks.
Apparently, Tucker Carlson is the worst thing ever you could be,
especially ones that deal with mental health issues.
Cuz let's go ahead and step on people further while they're down,
that's how Tucker Carlson operates.
Anyways, Jon Stewart did respond to that video, was talking about his height and
whether or not he can date him.
I guess Jon Stewart doesn't take off every box for Tucker Carlson.
But Stewart did respond though about that particular point and he tweeted this.
Friends, tonight I'm sad, Tucker Carlosn believes me too short to date.
And yet somehow, miraculously,
I remain tall enough to not know what Victor Orban's ass tastes like.
Is it goulash Tuckey?
Seems like it be goulash.
I don't wanna think about it.
But I'm glad you brought up, and then also buried Tucker with that particular point.
Maybe tonight he'll have more to say about it.
But Stewart's referencing Tucker's love and admiration for
Victor Orban,who was mentioned earlier in the show.
The Hungarian Prime Minister likes to talk about Nazism and how much he hates
gay folks, and interracial relationships,and mixed babies.
And all that how Europe is going down.
Tucker showed all that love in his documentary hungry versus sorrows,
the fight for civilization, cuz that makes a lot of sense.
Tucker Carlson's documents go to details of that.
His documentary depicts hungry as a conservative paradise with strong pro
family policies,
that has vanquished illegal immigration through its board offense.
And Hungarian born Soros, shown only in black and white and his doc,
is a villain who has spent billions trying to eliminate national borders, and
more generally, fighting in an ideological war against the West.
Now you guys saw what Jon Stewart then tweeted to take down Tucker, but
there seems to be a little more history.
There's a lot of anger behind what Tucker Carlson was saying.
Let's flash back to 2004 when Stewart and Carlson had a different
kind of confrontation, when he was doing crossfire on CNN watch.
>> During an infamous 2004 appearance on the now defunct CNN show crossfire,
Jon Stewart didn't pull any punches with his fellow panel
guests Democratic strategist, Paul Begala and Tucker Carlson.
Stewart called them both partisan hacks, and said.
>> Here's just what I wanted to tell you guys.
>> Yeah.
Stop.
[LAUGH].
Stop, stop, stop stop hurting America.
>> Carlson then referred to Stewart's lecture as boring,
leading Stewart to fire back by making fun of Carlson's bowtie.
Stewart said, you're doing theater when you should be doing debate.
What you do is not honest.
What you do is partisan hackery.
>> You have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably.
>> Crossfire was canceled shortly thereafter with the president of CNN
klein, specifically citing Stewart's appearance and his decision.
>> Seems like there's a grudge going on there Caroline.
What are your thoughts?
We've got a couple minutes.
>> Yeah, I think that the situation, obviously, it's so
much longer than I ever would have imagined.
But I think it's important to also note that like these right wingers
Tucker Carlson, a lot of the most powerful Republicans, they are scared, they
got their butts handed to them this week, in a way that we don't really see often.
Just because they are so good at messy and being on the offensive, and
basically like all of this surrounded the,
I believe it was the pact act which was to fund veteran health care spending.
And basically all of these right wing figures Tucker Carlson is terrified,
because Jon Stewart has effectively just shown everyone, showed the right and
the left that, the latest shame of the Republican Party is that, they basically
at the beginning of the week did not vote for the passage of the Pact act.
Which veteran spending, the military is something that the right
holds claims that they hold near and dear to their hearts.
So, Jon Stewart is out there championing these people that the right says
that they care about, and the right knows it, Tucker Carlson knows it.
Knows that they were caught on their back heels, and that Mitch McConnell
put them in an absolutely despicable position, a shameful position.
And Jon Stewart is just out here,
once again showing them he's doing their job basically.
He's showing that they only pretend to care about veterans,
in addition to the American people in general.
And he's actually fighting for them, and he's actually like horse, and
maybe looks a little more haggard then he used to.
But all of that is because he is actually fighting,
when the rest of them are playing checkers.
>> We're talking about actors throughout this hour.
You guys from that crisis actor at CPA Texas,
two people that want to continue to take cruz, acting like he's this bad ass.
It's all an act.
It's a constant thing.
So when they see someone who's greedy and doing it for real, and
he's not worried about shaving because he's out there fighting for
actual legislation and principles, they don't know what to do with it.
It's crazy.
How could he?
That's the Republican Party, you guys
