[@GodlessGonads]

"Glen isn't shilling for the GOP. He is shilling for the new movement" Someone like Stewart, a decade+ ago, making the bold, succinct conclusions that conservatism bowing to radicalism is the future of the entire party, and Reilly not even realizing that he's already lost his audience to the newer faces of the party, for 40 minutes straight, is just wild to watch now.

[@warlordofbritannia]

It's even more darkly ironic when you consider that even Glen Beck was left behind and forgotten, just as Tucker Carlson shall be

[@jon00769]

It has more to say in how the Republican party refused to adapt and stay relevant over time. There was a major shift around the civil rights era in party identity with LBJ. Something around the same level is bound to happen over the course of time with a skilled politician shaping the next paradigm shift.

[@kevin_dasilva]

@@octaviancaesarhibernicus4447 I know this is 3 years old but yeah hahaha You don't need hindsight to know Stewart was smart, but it helps. Just as an example, I'm at around 5-6 minutes in this video and he just described how the Dems had a supermajority (2010), how Obama could've played his cards, and how he ended up playing his cards (as Stewart mentioned earlier when he said Obama was playing too nice and he should've f*d congress as much as legally possible) Nowadays that is more common sense than looking both ways before crossing the road. We know that obamacare was an idea that I believe was first idealized in the early 90's by the heritage foundation, the individual mandate and whatnot. That was a right-wing thinktank organization and Obama through that and other examples like Dodd Frank legislation and everywhere else he tried to "triangulate" and be the New Democrat model Bill Clinton made popular in the 90's, "above the fray" and bringing the country together. Yes, back then it was still seen as the way mainstream dems had to be, and until nowadays we have braindead dems trying to repeat the same mistakes that have been making them lose a lot in recent years. We all knew Stewart was smart, but time only shows *how* smart he actually was! 😁

I’m Iraqi too but it’s not that simple. War is horrible, but Saddam’s terror state killed an estimated two million people during his reign of terror.

@@atuema1602 Salam my bro. While I totally agree with you, Saddam had to go, the manner in which it was conducted was terrible. And that's being nice about it. US deliberately suspended the military and police which caused the chaos.

I think O'Reilly just can't get over when Colbert was interviewed in character, and it pissed him off, not only because O'Reilly's one joke about how Colbert pronounces his name didn't go over well, and then Colbert continued to satirize him to his face.

For all the ways O'Reilly is a loathsome human being, I have to give him props for allowing Stewart to articulate his perspectives without bulling him over like he did with all his other guests.

[@tsuritsa3105]

What stands out about this to me is how seeing him next to Jon highlights the fact that O'Reilly actually did have charisma of his own. It's hard to see when he's screaming gibberish into his "no-spin zone", but here and in the Rumble in the Air-Conditioned Auditorium really shows that he can be funny and interesting, in an albeit condescending and paternalist kind of way. In a way that makes the pairing of the two more dangerous, because it made O'Reilly seem more reasonable than he was. He was a monster under the skin, harassing his female staff and spouting propaganda for Roger Ailes, but you'd never know it here because he seems so personable - even through the insults. What we don't' realize is that Jon is just taking the insults in stride because he doesn't care, he doesn't take O'Reilly's persona seriously, so why should he? It seems funny when the man being insulted can just brush it aside as meaningless comedy, but it shows hints of O'Reilly's true colors.

Lincoln, yes "that" Lincoln said,"never get in a pissing contest with a skunk, he likes it and you won't".O'Reilly fits the skunk persona exactly.

[@jamisonw.327]

I wouldn't say O'Reilly is an idiot, Jon enjoys sparring with him strictly because he is smart and he has reasons for his opinions. Jon likes ripping those reasons and his opinions to shreds, but it's a good time because they listen to each other and keep it civil. It's like Jon's argument with Christopher Hitchens, it didn't sound like an argument because they know how to listen and have an opinion at the same time. I can definitely say that O'Reilly isn't nearly as smart as Jon or Hitchens... but he's probably smarter than most.

[@jamisonw.327]

On a side note, you should look up the interview Jon Stewart had with Christopher Hitchens. It's the only time I've ever seen Hitchens come close to losing an argument over anything, I didn't realize just how smart Jon was until I saw that. I think Hitchens is likely smarter, but everyone else he's miles ahead. Hitchens supported the Iraq war because of humanitarian reasons, and so the whole discussion was mostly Hitchens conceding that the way it was carried out was flawed and probably ultimately disastrous for all parties, but his point was that you can't see genocide and look the other way. Both valid mutually inclusive points over an opposite opinion.

[@TobleroneCraft]

You should go kick the shit out of O'Reilly.

[@FFEMT324]

It's like teaching a pig to sing. I wastes your time and it make the pig mad.

[@joealias2594]

I like that this was posted the day after the election. Someone was going through their old videos trying to make themselves feel better.

[@essentialatom2]

Joe Alias Haha! I don't remember, but you're probably right.

[@SquidGunman]

These two have shockingly good chemistry. I’m actually blown away by these two together.

[@Ajrojaa]

am I listening to this in 2010 or 2024? might as well be the same thing. Shows how far we have come. Also its an absolute attrocity to society these guys haven't done a podcast together.

[@loveandlucky3]

Omg just kiss already

[@DiedrichKnickerbocker1783]

Yes.

[@chokinonashes6176]

loveandlucky3 Jon Stewart is too powerful, Bill O'Reilly only targets people who he can abuse. Otherwise O'Reilly would have groped him already..

[@lila5056]

I phone 7 plus

[@laz_hg3796]

😭🤣

[@dave199010]

[@harrybarber3255]

I may be stoned Bill O'Reilly but I'm not a slacker!

[@2000Betelgeuse]

I think they actually like each other, they do great chemistry

[@TobleroneCraft]

They do. Their disagreements aren't malicious.

[@damionverine7159]

I would be surprised if Stewart actually likes O'Reilly. But he probably respects him.

[@NathanTaylor-bo9rb]

​@@damionverine7159 I am Nate from Georgia and I miss the art and skill of a debate between political rivals who are willing to allow a rebuttal to be heard and then Respectfully make a counter point with examples or evidence. And so on. But O'Reilly and Stewart were great in the day. Hell, it is entertaining. I debated in high school and was taught the proper etiquette of debate and I recall my teacher repeatedly said 'intellect before emotions, but think quickly without reaction.' I'm 46 now and I don't recall everything, but debate is an intellectual art form with a long history. However, what I learned and loved in high school in 1993, as a 17 year old has been rapidly becoming obsolete by my standards over the years into the Jerry Springer show, frankly. It is embarrassing. I used to watch CSpan for practice. Because, when in session, our Congress and Senate showed up to work on bills and actually having read them and then debate the proposed legislation. This can be done quickly at times and slower on the heavier issues. But, in 93 government officials would be present. I could pay attention to other colleagues responses and expressions at points, ya know. But our elected officials in both Parties. House and Senate don't even show up. Those chambers are not even half full and most are in their phones. Being from Georgia we have a district that elected the MTG overwhelming twice now. But if she has an agenda or conspiracy to flat out lies in line with her extremist base. She is an agitator and a disruption to every proceeding with her absurdity. She is from my state and I checked her out. Researching and checking facts about her was difficult because she was a southern daughter of a Contractor. She did graduate college. She has worked for daddy. She married into another well off family and that's it. She moved to another district in the racist oasis of North West Georgia below Chattanooga. Fuck I had to vote in a Senate Runoff between the incumbent and first black Georgian Senator with mentors like John Lewis and was involved in the Civil Rights Movement for years. Became the Pastor of the same church as MLK JR. His reputation was positive statewide and especially in Atlanta activism for local issues. Overly qualified and experienced in a Runoff against Herschel Walker. Herschel was a Trump loyalist for the simple reason that Trump payed him a record breaking contract to play football for the USFL team owned by Trump. Herschel was expected to be Trump's Star running back one more time. Trump went to Texas got him away from his chicken farm and he began the campaign for Senator. It was a suspect choice for most Georgia Republicans because Herschel Walker was registered voter in Texas for decades

[@Schmuni]

All in all just an incredible display. This has to be the single best O'Reilly episode ever.

[@aaryanmehta6577]

the way Jon Stewart talks is absolutely crazy. his humour, wit and knowledge completely takes over the debate. +69000 aura

[@falacoruja2399]

Gosh. Reminds me that Bill O'Reilly truly almost never had a second thought.

[@nattyphysicist]

Two of the biggest news comedians in one place!

[@maxmac7845]

Please jon, come back. your country needs you.

[@brizzNcheese]

Bill is so insecure around Jon, and it’s extremely obvious. Always was, always will be.

[@theorigamirhino]

Jon Stewart is the only guy I’d be genuinely excited about running for president.

[@evesapple]

Love how the you can hear the fox worker laughing in the the background

[@alphaomega7433]

16:59 “And to make some money” 😂🤣 Jon Stewart is the king.

[@martincarey577]

👍😸🐏😹

[@Metallikid1]

The winner of this discussion...the crew member laughing in the background 😂

[@davidb3271]

Man these two have such great banter back and forth.

[@Hthdsn]

bill's like an 8-year-old kid trapped in an old body

[@joealias2594]

he should run for president then, clearly that is not a disqualifier

[@Hthdsn]

Perhaps this is becoming a qualification along with sexual assault. Gosh it's getting more and more difficult to become a president these days.

[@kt-zn4yu]

an old old body

[@TruthHurts2u]

No, Bill is like an American Baghdad Bob.

[@caseystevens462]

Say what you want about either of them, but we actually had two people with very opposing views talking and listening to one another.. and being pretty respectful. We could at least listen and hear both sides. it wasn’t just people yelling at each other.. with that said. I really miss Jon Stewart

[@kinglurtz7893]

Honestly very refreshing debate. Some humor, some empathizing (as much as possible.) Wish we had more like this today

[@OfNoImport]

One of these guys is back on TV. The other was fired for sexual misconduct. And sued, I believe? So... yeah. Welcome back, Jon, it's good to see you again. Thanks for ushering us into the end times lol.

[@calebross8174]

Jon Stewart is the kind of person we need as president. A person with real morals, compassion and isn’t afraid to stand up for what he believes he’s right.

[@late8641]

Unfortunately people like Jon Steward are too wise to run for any political office. The greatest flaw of politics is that people who should be leaders are usually people who don't want power.

[@skippingrhyme4386]

I like how O'Reilly proved Jon's point about Ron Paul, Acting as if hes never heard of him...

[@jackclingenpeel5020]

We need Jon Stewart more than ever, I’m from Missouri so I get having fun with farm animals but the country needs you Jon!

[@KINDaf]

You wish has been granted! Heeeeee's BACK! Mondays on TDS

[@tvtotalforever]

I will never stop admiring how these two get along. It takes so much inner strength and tolerance. When I am in a confrontation with someone thats just so much off track, i d be on their throat before they start the intro music.

[@vincentyou266]

I feel that

[@bliddiar]

Funny to watch Bill treat Jon as if he is beneath him, Jon’s intellect is towering over him.

[@Maj0ra]

You can tell that Bill wants to hate Jon and talk down to him, but you can just tell he can't help but like him to some degree. It's weird and super interesting. Edit: annnnnd Jon realizes that Bill likes him. I'm so glad he brought it up in the discussion. I was NOT expecting that!

[@PointReflex]

If my memory serves me, it was confirmed by John that they are friends, so that's why the discussions are light hearted for the most part. Wich is a no brainer since they both used to dinner together before Bill got wacked out of Fox News.

[@BadgerB2]

If you have a pool in New York and have someone who "Does your lawn", You're not really one of the folks either.
