Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse: Moscow Tools (FULL SPECIAL) | The Daily Show

As Vladimir Putin continues his gritty reboot of the Soviet Union, he's getting a surprising amount of help from the party once led by Reagan. In this new special, "Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse: Moscow Tools," Klepper speaks to foreign affairs experts, possible Russian assets, and the Prime Minister of Russia's neighbor, Estonia, to find out whether Republicans have become the Kremlin's most useful idiots. #DailyShow #JordanKlepper #Russia

[@JacyndaMinor]

It’s a conservation bias, basically, when someone has a belief that is part of their identity, and then they are confronted with evidence to the contrary, they latch on even more to their belief. The more indisputable the evidence to the contrary is, the more fiercely they will latch on to their false belief. It’s why slamming facts and figures down onto people when they’re wrong typically doesn’t work, you have to first connect with them on a personal level and then you can try the Socratic method, but we’ve got to start talking to people and stop taunting them bc our current cultural rift is absolutely devastating our country

Klepper just keeps getting better at this. You should dump the “fake” in fake journalist. These 24 minutes are better than any newshour in CNN, MSNBC, not to mention FOX. That Bolton moment is perfection!

[@RonLarhz]

This!!!

[@todjohnson6531]

Yeah, I wonder if Bolton caught that....!

[@srelma]

It's unbelievable that Bolton who is clearly a smart man, has this blind spot that he can't make himself to vote for Biden even though he fully understands the dangers of Trump presidency. I think the thing is that he's just extremely dishonest person. He knows that if he now pledges to vote for a democrat when it's the right thing to do, he won't have any future in the post-Trump republican party as his opponents would always come back to this. So, he's not doing what he knows is right for the country hoping that the others will but he's doing what's best for himself.

[@doko3000]

You're assuming he will actually do what he says on the interview but there's no way to verify that. There's what Bolton says on the interview, and there's the way he actually votes on election day. As he's a right winger, I don't think that the wants to burn any potentially profitable bridges by admitting that "yeah, I'll vote for Biden". He just saves face on interviews, and does whatever else he wants during the secret vote time that nobody can see what his vote was.

[@Abedeuss]

Bolton proved that even if Republicans can recognize how horrible of a president Trump is... they will do nothing to stop his reelection.

[@jorycle]

It's the Bolton bit that gets me, where he admits that Trump will be a worldwide destabilizing force, and that he's too dumb for the office, but Bolton would rather not participate meaningfully in the election than ever consider voting for the guy who isn't any of those things.

[@antcantcook960]
