[cheers and applause] first-timer. did not care for it. i also want to welcome all of our viewers who are probably joining in from x, after watching an amazing and surprisingly life-affirming conversation between donald trump and elon musk. you know, when they started quoting their favorite maya angelou passages to each other... "my interpretation, the caged bird is singing for bitcoin..." we do have a great show for you tonight. mark cuban is going to be joining us later. [cheers and applause] on this program, occasionally, we do make fun of donald trump. occasionally! and with the ribbing and the joshing and the pulling the pants down and the pointing. but he's in pain right now. >> multiple sources tell "the washington post" trump has grown increasingly upset about harris' surging poll numbe

i have to say, jon stewart, you look incredible! >> michael: amazing. thank you very much for that.that he sits on occasionally on mondays. yeah. let's talk about your podcast and then we will get into "the daily show." i have to ask you about working at "the daily show" but your podcast, second season, it is called "snafu," and it is about the break-in of the fbi offices. >> yes. >> michael: and the washington reporter who reported on it. >> yes. >> michael: what the [bleep] are you doing? i thought you worked in comedy. >> [laughs] i just say "yes." that is all i do in interviews. yes. [laughter] okay, it is a podcast about -- it is called "snafu." it's about history's greatest screw-ups. season one, we talked about this incredible story about a naval military exercise that almost in 1983, that almost turned into a nuclear holocaust. no big deal. it is really kind of actually darkly funny. season 2 that is out now, we talk about these incredible activists in 1971 who felt like the fbi was getting a little out of hand and starting to harass people and surveil people and they were r

that would be a mode for enforcing with human rights pies and free speech. >> the brilliance of jon stewart no that who was the super nova who exploded on the scene of libertarian ideas and utilitarian creation of the foundation for utilitarianism. it was john stuart mill who was the child of his secretary that organize these thoughts them and produced something that was much more powerful in its impact that is the harm principle. what mills said is the function of the government is to protect us from the harm of others. but that is also its limit. the government has a legitimate right to keep us from harboring harming italso means the governd restrain itself. when we are not harming others you don't harm other people through ideas. but the function of the law is thest harm principle and i suggt free speech would be based on its own type of harm principle. and in some regards this type of argument has been hijacked by anti- free speech movement. many students today have been taught since secondary school that freee speech is harmful. that it is triggering patient not have to hear opposing v

so i contrasted john stuart mill society based on jon stewart mills in which all individuals are equal, all should be left is responsible to move, develop talent and for relationships as a please. that sounded good at the time and still sounds good to me to the extent i say i am a liberal is in this sense, a jon stewart no liberal. i wanted to contrast that with the vision i found resonating on the social conservatives come not social economic to which i said i appealed to my favorite social scientist durkheim. i sit imagine in contrast to the millions of society imagine society not an agreement to individuals but something that emerged organically over time as people found ways of living together, suppressing each other selfishness so i suggest durkheim is an intellectual hero of this way of thinking because he warned in this magnificent book suicide which a written graduate school he warned man cannot become attached to higher aims and submit to a rule if he sees nothing above him to which he belongs. to free himself from all social pressure is to abandon himself and demoralize himse

star-studded lineup for the dnc with celebrities like john legend set to headline with the fence with jon stewartjoan jett. former democrats who left the party said this is not what the average american wants to see. a chicago resident and a lifelong democrat, turned republican voter, monty, wisconsin republicans who left the democratic party and all joined me now. good morning to you all, let's talk about the one thing you all have in common. let's start with you, charlene. why did you choose to leave the democratic party? >> i choose to leave the democratic party because especially in milwaukee, wisconsin, it is just the progressive state of getting worse and every day it is getting worse. but it is like we have to do something different. and when i first voted for the republican party with donald trump and i saw drastic improvements in crime and in the housing and inflation was down and there were more jobs. that is what we are looking for. not the gaslighting with all of the celebrity shows and all of that stuff. that is millions of dollars being spent that can be put back into the community.

that diversity was on full display on stage all week, with one notable exception and jon stewart summedlike this. >> they have black americans, hispanic americans, asian americans, gay americans, jewish americans, palestinian -- oh, well, to be fair it was only four nights, eight hours a night. >> now for all the talk about pro-palestinian protesters at the dnc, the most notable faction of the pro-palestinian movement at the dnc where the activists and organizers inside the system and who formed the uncommitted movement. they had no plans to disrupt. they had no plans to protest. they just had a simple ask of their party brethren. please allow a palestinian american democratic of a short, vetted speech on the convention stage. like every other group in this new, democratic rainbow coalition and they had many allies backing them up. on thursday the powerful united auto workers union posted, quote, if we want the war in gaza to and we can't put our heads in the sand or ignore the voices of palestinian americans in the democratic party. if we want peace, if we want real democracy and want

. >> sometimes that is all it takes, that was jon stewart joking about the shifts. by april and chai komanduri, director of the obama campaign and others. what have you seen with the obama and harris connections? >> former president obama known as the number five all-time president in history, from historians in september of last year, he is the most energetic, the most well-known face of the party as well is one of the most well-known and accomplished presidents in u.s. history, globally. of course, as kamala harris is moving not only into being president but saving the democracy, she is trying to lean not only the principles of the party but also on the success of a two-term democratic president, the most recent one who is one of the most famous. i can't help but think about what happened in atlanta with those youth. people are energized and it reminds me of the night barack obama won in 2008, november 4, 2008. all of these young people, black and white, kids from all races and ages came to the white house chanting with balloons. it looked like a green bay packers

i've been teaching jon stewart bills on liberty. there is a real paradox of his great work on liberty and which in many ways he acknowledges that what we might think whether the years 1989, or 1955, that in many ways we think of the high point of realizing liberalism oe society of freedom. the society of free inquiry something many conservatives pined for devoted to free exchange of ideas openness, tolerance. and mill's own telling him represents a tenuous middle position in some sense a good and necessary end in itself free inquiry and questioning. openness and questioning and liberty itself is a means to another end. not nearly liberty. it begins at great work with the following claimant. even though there has been a success in the liberal project of winning limits on government restrain the arbitrary power of political rulers. nevertheless is a real absence of freedom and the society in which she is riding in 1859 the victorian era. the lack of genuine freedom even if the government is limited people silver oak crest by the power

that was jon stewart talking about the shifts. i'm joined by my guests.we looked across that history. you've covered it. what do you see in these obama-harris connections? >> president obama, former president obama, is known as the number five all time president in history. that's from historians in september of last year. he is the most energetic, the most well-known face of the party as well as one of the most well-known and accomplished presidents in modern history globally. and of course, as kamala harris is moving into not only being president but saving the democracy, she's trying to lean on not only the principles of the party but also the success of a two-term democratic president. the most recent one who is one of the most famous. and i can't help but think about what happened in atlanta with those youthful people are energized. it reminds me of the night that barack obama won in 2008. all of these young people, black, white, children from, kids from all races and ages came to the white house chanting with balloons. it looked like we were at a gr

the idea, jon stewart joke this week sarcastically, over four nights, eight hours a night, they cannotind a spot for a palestinian lawmaker. let's be clear, there has been a lot of misinformation floating around. the uncommitted movement seeing being sent to israel to be killed in gaza. offered up multiple voices, turn down by the dnc, finally, they offered up an elected lawmaker from georgia, state representative palestinian laura mock. she wrote a speech invented by the dnc, a speech, by the way, that endorsed kamala harris for president. the dnc still said, you can't come on stage, even though we will have the israeli parents of a hostage in gaza, a good move. all of us support the idea of calling on hostages to be released in gaza. to have this on stage and say, we will not have a palestinian american on stage, even though the platform says, we value palestinian americans together. by the way, it is dumb, ali. it is just dumb. the democrats missed out on an opportunity in prime time to have a palestinian lawmaker from a swing state in a job endorsed kamala harris . that is just dum

the clooney article and actor michael douglas has come out with a statement and michael moore and jon stewartall of these hollywood heavyweights are calling on the president to drop out of the reelection race. george clooney is a mega-donor, and he's not just a mega-donor, he's the one the president has turned to to say, hey, everybody get in line, donate as much as you can. on my company. i want to emphasize two things about this. first, this is a really, really public violation of the rules, this is not a spontaneous response to a reporter, this is not a text that was leaked to the press, this is an article that was knowingly written and published, and second, it remains an open question who pushed him to do this. i wonder if it was george clooney himself. i doubt it, i think there is someone or a group of people behind the scenes who are much more powerful who said hey george, we need you to do this. well, it must be said that biden was actively leaked to the media by those who supported him at the time and brought him to power, here one telephone conversation between barack obama and his

ie was thinking i suspect the first choice might've been jon stewart mills on liberty.ause you talk a lot about the million harmi principle. i infer that you at least if correctly interpreted and applied that would be a mode for enforcing the first amendment consistent with the human rights values of free speech. >> i do, and i think the brilliance of john stuart mill was that he really, unlike been some who was the supernova who floated on the scene with his sort of libertarian ideas come his utilitarian creation of the foundation for attila terry newsom, it was really john stuart mill who was the child of ben thumbs secretary that organize these thoughts and produce something that was much more powerful and its impact and that's the harm principle. what mill said was about the function of government is to protect us from harm of others. that's also its limit, that is that the government has a legitimate right to keep us from harming others but also meanst the government should restrain itself when we are not harming others. nils and said you don't harm other people th

about clooney's article and actor michael douglas came out with a statement and michael moore and jon stewarthese hollywood heavyweights are calling on the president to not run for reelection. george clooney is a mega-donor, and not only is he a mega-donor, he's the one the president has been talking to, saying, "hey, everybody get in line, give this much, "as much as you can for my company." i want to emphasize two things about this: first, it really is a very, very public violation of the rules, this is not a spontaneous response to a reporter, this is not a text that was leaked to the press, this is an article that was deliberately written and published, and second, the question remains, who pushed him to do this? i wonder if it was george clooney himself? i doubt it, i think there is someone or a group of people behind the scenes who are much more powerful who said: hey george, we need you to do this. well, in the american theater of political action urgently needs a change of actors, but it is worth noting that biden was actively leaked by those who at one time brought him to the preside

tim walz as her running mate, trump went after walz, as well as harris and montana senator jon tester stewart, cnn's alayna treene is in bozeman, montana with more well, victor and amara, donald trump traveled to bozeman, montana on friday and it's interesting, it was actually his first rally since the weekend and the first since vice president kamala harris had finalize the democratic ticket and montana, of course first as a reliably red state. when i talked to donald trump's senior advisers, they tell me there are no concerns about his chances of winning it come november, but he instead chose to come here and serve a battleground because he he was stomping for tim sheehy, the republican senate candidate. now he is locked in a tight senate race with the longtime democrat jon tester. >> and it's really considered one of the hardest fought battles for control of the senate majority come the fall. >> now senator steve daines of steve daines of montana, the chairman of the national republicans senatorial committee was also at that rally on friday and i caught up with him beforehand to offstage a

it wasn't.
