You're listening to Comedy Central.
Jon Stewart (1:08)
May I be the first to add another compilation to your For You page?
It's a short film. I believe the Nelson, the great Nelson Muntz titled Can't sugarcoat it.
SPEAKER_5 (1:24)
Republicans got spanked.
SPEAKER_6 (1:26)
It was an ass kicking. Weak ass Republicans. You just got your asses wet tonight.
Ross Douthat (1:31)
You got punished deservedly so.
SPEAKER_8 (1:34)
None should be spared from blame starting at the top.
SPEAKER_9 (1:37)
Donald Trump destroyed the Republican Party.
SPEAKER_1 (1:40)
We stood for nothing and got run over.
SPEAKER_10 (1:42)
Useless, pathetic, and downright stupid.
SPEAKER_11 (1:45)
A bunch of f***ing bulls**t.
Jon Stewart (1:58)
Guys, guys, guys! Just take a breath. Repeat after me. I am deporting my anger.
Deporting my rage. You know, one analysis stood out as to why Donald Trump lost this election. I think it's worth highlighting. It's from former Trump enabler and noted Putin's sexual, Tucker Carlson.
SPEAKER_5 (2:26)
A lot of men who voted for Trump two years ago imagined that this was a masculine, vigorous leader.
SPEAKER_12 (2:31)
Wait a second!
SPEAKER_5 (2:33)
It kind of seems a little bit more like a bitchy old woman than an alpha male.
Jon Stewart (2:41)
Does he? You get him, girl! The only thing we alpha males hate more than running out of zin is a catty bitch.
I'm sorry, Tucker. Continue to tell us what real men hate about Trump now. And perhaps if you could punctuate that critique with the most, I don't know, alpha male noise you can muster.
SPEAKER_5 (3:14)
Here's a guy who's vain and venal and indecisive. He's dancing to YMCA? Ha ha ha!
Wow!
Jon Stewart (3:36)
That laugh pairs well with any masculine thing you can say.
Honey, take the kids inside. I reckon these fellas might be looking for some trouble.
SPEAKER_12 (4:00)
Ha ha ha!
Jon Stewart (4:03)
Meanwhile, while the rest of MAGA is in some kind of Mexican standoff for people who don't like Mexicans, Donald Trump headed over to the newly MAG-ified CBS for a little self-soothing with one of 60 Minutes' new correspondents, a religious conservative by the name of Ross Doutat.
Donald Trump (4:27)
We have created wealth at a level that our country has never seen before.
Ross Douthat (4:31)
Including for yourself.
Jon Stewart (4:45)
Was that, young man, was that sass? Did the new, magified CBS 60 Minutes just deliver sass to Donald Trump? I think you're supposed to yes and, not yes but.
Ross Douthat (4:58)
There's a Forbes story that said that your net worth, maybe it's changed with the stock market recently, but your net worth went up by $3 billion. Well, since you returned to the market.
Donald Trump (5:08)
Okay, you're ready? So, who's...
Ross Douthat (5:09)
Everyone's... My net worth did not go up by $3 billion. Well, then...
Jon Stewart (5:25)
I think I'm going to enjoy this.
I did not come into this interview thinking, I'm going to enjoy this, but now, as I am watching this, I am thinking to myself, I am going to enjoy this. Let me prepare the table for the feast we are all about to enjoy. As regular viewers of our program know, Donald Trump has a somewhat high regard for his own financial acumen. In fact, not 20 minutes prior, in this very same interview we are watching, Donald Trump said this.
Donald Trump (5:57)
I'm really good at money and finance. It's probably maybe my best thing.
Jon Stewart (6:01)
Best? Better than pool?
Pool renovation, finance and money? He's better at money than pool. So let's hear from Trump about the intricacies and sage financial acumen that brought him this $3 billion windfall.
