The Midterms, Inflation, and Crime With Rep. Katie Porter | The Problem With Jon Stewart Podcast

Watch The Problem With Jon Stewart on Apple TV+
theproblem.lin...
This week we’re talking to Congresswoman Katie Porter, Democrat from California’s 47th district, who wields her white board like a weapon. She explains (in plain English!) what we’ve got wrong about inflation and why Congress isn’t jumping at the chance to fix it. She updates us on the midterm elections, breaks down the hypocrisy of Republican rhetoric on crime, and she blows our minds with the answer to why political ads never show footage of members of Congress doing actual work. Plus, we’ve got writers Jay Jurden and Alexa Loftus here talking about Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover.

I freaking love Katie porter, she is a true hero for the working class

[@_nybble]

She SLAYZ!!!! OMG I remember the 1st time she tried writing something during a hearing, like her 1st one, and the chair was like...uh you can't do that... I ❤️ how she's evolved to dry erase boards and huuuuge posterboards!!!!

[@barbcarrier3702]

AGREE!

[@anthonystewart3185]

A million percent

[@utilid4lifefigureitout602]

She is one of the most effective legislators in the nation. She works for the working class / middle class and poor, not billionaires. My impression of her is that she's authentic and really wants to work to make this a better country (where as many politicians want to convince voters they're working for them but, what's most important to them is winning elections and staying in office. Even if they know they're not effective and there are other candidates who would almost certainly do a better job and accomplish more for the country).

[@anthonystewart3185]

Love love love Katie. Wish she was my economics teacher in college

[@theoaklandpanda9129]

We need more representative like Katie Porter. An expert, no bs, straight facts, great communicator and doesn't take the crap the GOP and some of the Dem's put out there. More non-corporately owned congress people please!

[@s.schattenprophet]

Totally, and Katie Porter will vote like Nancy Pelosi and corporate democrats will tell her. As long as people think that there is a difference between the two parties, they won. Or to be specific, their donor base. The same donor base they are working for.

More like her can shift the power cards within the dems. A lot more... how do we harvest more out of the populace?

[@s.schattenprophet]

@@t.dmytryshyn2615 Well, I agree, she votes like she wants to. - For Pelosi as speaker of the house. - For the Cares act, the biggest transfer of wealth. - For "additional" money for Ukraine, or every bill that will put money into the military industrial complex. - For the infrastructure bill, because why not vote on a bill Joe Manchin watered down and put more drilling in it? She has a great impact by voting on her own like Pelosi and all other corporate democrats all the time.

I think we also need more Queer reps! Florida’s Board of Medicine for example, cut trans activists out of the meeting video for October 28ths meeting! On top of not letting us speak while we were there and cropping us out of ALL of their video footage. There needs to be action in the government to de-radicalize these bodies.

Jon, if Katie Porter doesn't win her race, you should keep having her on the show as, like, an economic consultant.

Biden has been saying it, Gavin Newsome has been saying it, Obama, Hillary, and 99% of any democrats that get media exposure at all have been saying it! it’s just that the so called “liberal media” hasn’t been exposing it nearly as much as they need to.

What an incredible woman. I’ve only seen bits of her in Congress here and there before, this is a great interview.

[@mtn1793]

Thank god for KZbin or most of US would not know of her!

[@randibgood]

You should really look up some of her takedowns in her committee meetings. ABSOLUTE LEGEND!

[@mickiec5298]

@@mtn1793 CSpan has both House and Senate meetings. Often boring, but often very informative. Often enraging, often funny as hell. I often have it on when I'm doing other stuff, kind of in the backgroud, but come back to watch when something interesting is going on.

Donated immediately to Katie. She helps me understand.

I donated earlier in her campaign, but seems like I need to do it again!

Katie Porter is everything an elected politician should be. So proud to hv her represent our beautiful state💙

The country would be exponentially better if political ads could ONLY contain footage from CSPAN.

Katie Porter for Senate! Wouldn't it be great if Dianne retired right after the Midterms and Katie had a full 2 years to prove herself?

[@kathrynmceachern9503]

Most episodes have some portions for free on his KZbin channel and I definitely recommend checking out any that might interest you. He may not host the Daily Show any more, but he's been working so very hard to bring attention to a variety of super important topics for quite some time. Listening to his voice is cathartic and calming, regardless of the subject matter. ✌️
