Summary

On a recent episode of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart advised Democrats that if they want to regain office, they need to chill a little on the fascist talk and actually offer an alternative.

The late-night host showed clips of news anchors and Democratic voices talking about the “late Friday night purge,” where President Donald Trump fired at least 17 inspectors general. Reacting to the news, Stewart pulled out a prop axe and screamed, “Trump has ushered in the purge!”

“I, for one, will take full advantage by doing some unpermitted lawn work,” he joked. “Although, just in case I’m misinterpreting, what is this purge about, exactly?”

When realizing what Trump’s “purge” was really about, Stewart reacted in mock horror, yelling, “No! He got rid of 17 inspectors general? That only leaves—no one knows how many left. I have no idea.”

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how even liberal icon Jon Stewart sees the level of Trump Derangement Syndrome flowing through the Democratic Party.

Plus segments on a recent NY Times hit piece against Elon Musk and DOGE, the Super Bowl halftime show performer who revealed and paraded around with a Palestinian flag and the millions of dollars in questionable spending being uncovered by Musk and his DOGE acolytes.

Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Andrew Cuomo!
