Analysis Summary
Ask yourself: “If I turn the sound off, does this argument still hold up?”
Us vs. Them
Dividing the world into two camps — people like us (good, trustworthy) and people not like us (dangerous, wrong). It exploits a deep human tendency to favor our own group. Once you accept the division, information from "them" gets automatically discounted.

And Iran's answer is to justing attack everybody. HEY. HEY, NOT EVERY PART OF ME IS GETTING PUNCHED. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HEY, YOU. SO, there's John Stewart reinforcing the narrative that Iran is the maniac. Iran is crazy. Hey, a friend of the show, Rick Overton, is here with us. Rick Overton, uh, Emmy award-winning writer. Used to write for the Dennis Miller Show. Okay, so Rick's with us. Hey Rick, how are you buddy? >> Buddy, I am happy to be here. Thanks for inviting me. >> So, I just wanted to get you on because, you know, you've uh you've written for all the big names and uh you've uh had award-winning comedy specials yourself. And this is John Stewart. Uh he's going to I I don't if if you're not old enough to remember during the Iraq war, uh a common hacky joke would be to say, "Oh, they think they're promised 81 virgin v virgins when they get to heaven." and all the, you know, all these these jokes about these crazy Muslims who think they're going to get virgins when they oh, and so they had there was a million versions of those jokes. John Stewart 24 years later drags out those old jokes that everybody has now pretty much realized are just Islamophobia. But anyway, it doesn't matter. Let's listen. >> That guy, by the way, there he was martyed at 86. So he's talking about how we how the United States killed the leader of Iran and the religious leader. We killed him. It's like the equivalent of Iran if Iran killed the pope. It's like that that's the equivalent. So here's what he has to say about it. >> THAT GUY, BY THE WAY, THERE he was martyed at 86. Man, are the virgins going to be disappointed. I'm sorry. Am I Am I GOING TOO HARD ON HOMMINING murderous dictator? Like, whoa. >> No, no, John. >> I think I think it might have been better if Jack Nicholson had maybe brought the topic up cuz that's right from the era when that impression worked. >> Yeah. No. Uh, no, John. Uh uh I forget what I was going to say now, but let's let's keep going. Uh people people don't side with Ayatollah. What they're responding to is your hacky joke. That's what they're responding to. And the fact that we're the ones doing the war of aggression and it's really just not funny that we're going around killing religious leaders at the behest of Israel. That's the problem. It's not funny. Okay, here we go. And we thought of his erectile dysfunction. THAT'S A BRIDGE TOO FAR TO IT. GUYING MOWED DOWN HIS OWN PEOPLE. But you KNOW, VIAGRA IS A SERIOUS. >> So he's then he's repeating the propaganda that Iran are mowing down their own people. Okay. Now, we all know that that what he's pretending not to know that the people the reason why the Iranian government started shooting those protesters is because those protesters were Mossad and infiltrated by the CIA and Mossad and given guns and they were shooting the cops. So, the Mossad and CIA infiltrators in those protests, this is how the United States does it. They were shooting the cops. >> The 40 beheaded babies. They were that Yeah. This is the equivalent of the the 40 beheaded babies. So that and John Stewart knows this, but he's pushing the war propaganda. He's pushing the war propaganda. It gets worse. So he instead of going, "Hey, you're right. That was a stupid hacky joke. That's uh kind of what do you call um uh what is that called? Cultural chauvinism." Yeah. >> Instead of going, "Yeah, that's kind of should be beneath me." Instead, he doubles down. Oh, what? You don't like that joke? This guy's mowing down his own people. Oh, really? We just We just bombed a school of 7 to 12 year old girls and killed 180 of them. What? What is he doing? I I I know what he's doing. By the way, his his company owned by Larry Ellison. He now works. He now works for the Zionist machine. But he's always been this way when it comes to war. He's always been this way. He'll never tell his audience. >> He'll never get hip in hypocrisy. >> Yeah. He'll never tell the truth about the Ukraine war ever. He'll never tell I and I told you that when it started and it's still to this day, he won't tell his audience the truth about the Ukraine war. Just like he won't tell his audience the truth about the vaccines. He won't or the COVID vaccine or anything to do with CO. He won't tell the truth about any of that stuff. And now he's got to do propaganda. He's going to try he's he's what they call um well here let's let's I just want to let uh just keep this in mind. This is where all the United States military bases are surrounding Iran. So when United States bombed Iran Iran uh Iran, they hit our military bases. So they responded. So our military bases are in uh uh Oman. They're in uh Qatar. They're in Saudi Arabia. They're in uh Bahrain. They're in Kuwait. They're in Iraq. They're in Syria. They're in Turkey. So, we got our military. So, when we attack them, Iran attacked our military bases that we were using to attack Iran from. So, John Stewart, >> that's the wrong size. You got to shrink it way down. We're never going to beat something that big. >> So, >> you got to bring it way down. And keep in mind, Iran is bigger than Syria, Libya, and Afghanistan combined. It's got 90 million people. So, but here's John. John Stewart pretends not to know what I just told you about this. And watch what he says now because Iran did hit our military bases in like five other countries, right? In uh uh Carter, uh Saudi Arabia. Uh anyway, but here we go. >> So, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Let me get this straight. America and Israel attack Iran and Iran's answer is to justing attack everybody. You know, having been in a bar fight or two in my life, I'm pretty sure the worst thing you can do during a twoon-one beatdown is slap everyone else. HEY. HEY, NOT EVERY PART OF ME IS GETTING PUNCHED. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Hey you. >> So there's John Stewart reinforcing the narrative that Iran is the maniac. Iran is crazy. Look, they're attacking. They only got attacked by the United States and Israel and they start attacking all these other countries cuz they're crazy. Iran is nuts. They're the homicidal maniac. Instead of him knowing exactly what I just told you, they're bombing our military bases, which we were using to bomb them. And that's why they did that. And guess what? They're wiping the United States military bases off the face of the earth. They are doing it. That and John Stewart doesn't want to tell you that. So he's pretend. So this is just more emotional slop. This is he's he's talking to their he's insulting the intelligence of his audience and talking to them like children and he's hitting purely emotional buttons without thinking why anything is happening. So don't don't don't ask why they're bombing those countries. Just just be emotional about oh they're crazy and we must be in the right. Uh >> there are people looking at that map right now thinking we are going to war with Italy. >> Just want to leave it at that. You know >> that's how informed. >> So uh uh here's what I said. Of course, a guy who hung a metal on a legit Nazi, which is what John Stewart did during the Ukraine war. He went to Florida. He flew to Florida and hung a medal on a legit Ukraine Nazi. And he has never had to answer for it cuz he won't go anywhere where he has to answer for it. He won't take a question from anybody who's going to bring that up. Everywhere he goes is going to be people who are also pushing the Ukraine war propaganda. So, of course, a guy who hung a metal on a legit Nazis is going to be doing pro-Iran war propaganda. Iran attacked the US military bases in the Gulf that were attacking Iran. And it was Israel that bombed the Saudi Arabian oil facilities. It wasn't Iran. >> Now, John, he knows all this. He just ignores those facts. This is a I mean the thing that makes so I can make fun of like uh Fredo Cuomo because he doesn't know anything. But I know John Stewart knows better just like I know he knows better about the Ukraine war and I know he knows better about COVID and the vaccines and Dr. Fouchy and Bill Gates and all that stuff. I know he knows better and that's why this is egregious cuz he does. Guys like Fredo or you know Don Lemon, they don't know anything. But he does. He's smart. He's smarter than me. Way smarter than me. >> That's the whole point of this show is that if a C student like me can get it right, I know guys like that can get it right. I'm sure he went to an Ivy League school. Didn't he go to Boston College or something? He went somewhere. I always recommend take stupid over evil every time. >> Yeah. Always always say you're stupid and you just didn't know cuz otherwise you did and that's and then that's you know that's evil. >> So >> So always take stupid. >> We'll be right back with more of this story after a brief message from our sponsor. >> Hey, early onset dementia and Alzheimer's are on the rise. Reports show a 373% increase in diagnosis among 30 to 44 year olds and a 311% increase in 45 to 50 year olds in the US in recent years. When doctors treat brain diseases, they often focus on medicating the brain itself, addressing symptoms instead of the root cause, which is chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. These factors damage brain cells and lead to the buildup of toxic proteins. the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. But like much of the body, many brain issues trace back to gut microbiome. That's right. There's a direct communication line between your gut and your brain, the gut brain axis, where gut bacteria influence inflammation, mood, memory, and cognitive function. That's why what you eat matters so much. Kimchi contains over 900 probiotic strains and studies show its bioactive compounds help reduce inflammation, protect brain cells, and even improve memory and cognitive function by preventing amalloid beta plaque buildup.

So here is just to let you know uh Iranian state media says that Iran did not attack the Razor oil refinery in Saudi Arabia. It was Israel. So Israel and here Israel is attacking Saudi Arabia's oil field. Israel not. So John didn't talk about that. He didn't tell you. Oh, by the way, Israel is also attacking Saudi Arabia, our ally. Oh, why? By the way, they're also attacking Qatar, our ally. We're all supposed to be on the same side. Israel is bombing and trying to bomb all of them. And you know who? So John Stewart won't tell you that. You know who will tell you that? Tucker Carlson and Saudi Arabia authorities arrested so Carter and Saudi Arabia authorities arrested Mossad agents. Here we go. I'll play it for you. And Saudi Arabia authorities arrested MSAD agents planning on committing bombings in those countries. Now that's weird. That doesn't make any sense. Why would the Israelis >> be committing bombings in two Gulf countries which are also being attacked by Iran? Aren't they on the same side? >> No. >> No. No. >> No. >> Israel wants to hurt Iran and Qatar and UAE and Saudi and Bahrain and Oman and Kuwait. No, that wasn't a risk from the Israeli standpoint. That was the point. >> That was the point. >> Of course, he makes the argument like >> that was the point. That was the point. That's our good friend Nico House who put together a good video on this. That was the point. John Stewart doesn't tell you that. John Stewart John Stewart's not going to tell you that. You know who is Tucker Carlson, >> which is why Tucker Carlson >> is has more integrity and courage than John Stewart right now. That's for that's a fact. That's a fact that Tucker Carlson's on kill lists. John Stewart isn't John Stewart's never gonna stray from the establishment narrative in a real way. And you know, Chris Hedg has told me that I John Stewart was a hero to me. He still is comedically. I think that the way he he invented that style of comedy is still amazing. Um, but people should call him out when when he does stuff like this. And I'm doing it. Um, here is uh just to let you know, Israel is currently attacking Lebanon. So they're attacking Iran, they're attacking Palestine, they're Palestine, they're attacking Yemen, they're attacking Saudi Arabia, they're attacking Qatar, and Israel is also attacking Lebanon. This is all at the same time. >> I think it's always better to have 10 wars instead of just one. >> Yeah. Did John Stewart tell you about that? Oh, he told you how Iran is crazy because they're attacking all these other countries except he left out the part that Israel is actually attacking more countries than Iran right now. and that Iran was actually attacking the military installations that were attacking them. He leaves all that out. Why? Because he is a cuck to the establishment. And he'll never tell you the truth about this stuff. He's not going to tell you the truth about Ukraine. He's not going to tell you the truth about COVID. He's not going to tell you the truth about when he hung that metal on a Nazi. He's not going to tell you the truth about what's happening right now in Iran. It's amazing, isn't it? It's kind of amazing. The last time we heard remote truth about a war was Vietnam. So >> this person says Israel is currently attacking Lebanon and forcing people out of their homes. Stuart is a liar. The Israeli military has ordered the evacuation of the area south of the Latani River. Lebanese troops have pulled back from the UN mandated boundary between the two countries. And look, they're just bombing the hell out of them. I I think they're trying to use up the last of our old ordinance. So, we have to dig into the tax pile again and make all new bombs and missiles. >> Well, that >> just like every other time. >> Just like every other time. Trump is already recommending a $50 billion supplemental bill so we could uh build more bombs. 50 billion. Think about that. >> What about the other bombs sitting there? You didn't use them yet. Go make a war. Use them up. He's not using that to build schools or hospitals or libraries or roads or bridges or trains or airports. He's using that money to give to the military-industrial complex to do a war for Israel. >> Our jets aren't invisible anymore. Now we got to come up with a whole new generation that just blinds people so that then you can't see the jets. And just to let you know, uh, Saudi Arabia has already said that they've been abandoned by the United States. They know it. They've been abandoned. >> So Saudi political analyst Sulaman El Aquil on El Jazer says, "America has abandoned us and focused its defense systems on protecting Israel, leaving the Gulf states to host that host its military bases at the mercy of Iranian missiles and drones." So that's what's happening. John Stewart's not going to tell you that that the United States has actually abandoned those countries. >> Well, that's going to be great for the petro dollar, >> right? >> It's going to be fantastic. >> So, this is going to wreck the petro dollar and it's going to crash our our stock market. That's most likely what's going to happen right now. That's most most likely. >> I can't say for sure, but it looks like the Gulf because of this, the Gulf States are going to stop putting their money in our stock market and that's going to crash our stock market cuz they they are putting hundreds of billions of dollars into our stock market and now they don't have any money because the oil flow out of the Gulf is gone. Uh I just want to here's Ahoud Elmer. He's the former Israeli prime minister and he's saying here's another thing John Stewart won't tell you. He's saying uh that Israel wants them to attack. Watch this. >> This is not just BB. This is the whole group of people. These are Benvilles and the Smotees. >> So he's saying it's not just BB Netanyahu that's the maniac. It's the whole group of them over there. Beng smokeitz >> and all these messianic groups of people that are ready. You know what I believe that they are yearning for an Iranian attack across the board in the north, in the south, everywhere, the the the worse the attack of Iran will be, the happier they will be, the happier will be because then it will justify in their hearts, in their mind a counter attack by Israel that may force out all of the Palestinians on the territories and that's what they want. So that's the former prime minister of Israel telling you Israel wants Iran to attack. They want to attack all over the place so they can now use that as an excuse to go in and just completely take over Palestine, kill who's ever left there and take it over completely. That's what he just That's the former prime minister. John Stewart's not going to tell you that either. It's really remarkable, John Stewart. And uh I I I again I still have affection for him because he did, you know, uh s such great comedy and he kind of invented a new genre of comedy that I've imitated and um it's but it's sad. Anything you want to say about this, Rick? >> Uh you know what they say about uh if your heroes live long enough, you know. Yeah. But uh uh I think it's also cuz power is drawn to anyone with influence and there just has to have been some kind of something that went on to compromise a thought pattern like that cuz I think he started out with uh nothing but uh sort of fiery integrity. Don't you think in the beginning? >> Uh I thought so in the beginning. >> I thought so. >> I thought so. I thought he had integrity. Uh but he obviously has let let he's lacking that uh since the since at least the Ukraine war and since at least co he told a slight truth about CO on Steve Colbear show and he got push back from the liberals >> and he never said another word about it. Never. In fact, he went on an apology tour for telling you the truth about where the co virus came from which it came from. Right. I think he's also compromised too because his brother works in Wall Street in the financial district. I think he's compromised. >> Isn't his brother like the head of NASDAQ or something? I think his brother was like, >> "Are you going to ever see him?" >> Can you Google that? See if his brother was the head of NASDAQ. >> Are you ever going to see him attack Wall Street? >> I mean, I don't, you know, uh, is John Stewart's brother the head of NASDAQ? >> Yeah. It says uh according to this John Stewart has a brother and he's in charge of what? New York Stock Exchange. What? >> Well, that's kind of a conflict of interest, >> do you think, fellas? >> What? >> Just a little bit. >> What What exactly is his role? Uh, by the way, don't forget John Stewart's last name is Leowitz. So maybe that has something to do with why he doesn't want to tell you what Israel is doing. Maybe that has something I don't know. Does it? Uh John Stewart's older brother, Larry Leowitz, was the chief operating officer of the New York Stock Exchange Euro Next, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange. This information has been a topic of discussion on Reddit, especially considering John Stewart frequent his frequent criticisms of Wall Street. Wow. Wow. Okay. >> Well, I any network related in any way entity trying to be liberals is probably going to run into a wall of influencers and people who can intimidate and influence you to keep your yap shut just by the size of the thing you work for. >> Well, uh, he's not going to tell you the truth about this war. It seems obvious. >> Oh, >> and and until until it becomes indefensible, until everybody knows the truth and then he can't then he'll then he'll start and he'll act like he was always just like you know how Fredo Cuomo pretends he was always telling you the truth about COVID. >> Yeah. All right. Because if you want to hear, >> it's the the opportunity to say that you were part of something after you'd walked all over it before was much more convenient before the era the era of YouTube playback. >> That's right. And if you like to hear my jokes about this, come see me in San Antonio, Albuquerque, Houston, Dallas, Salt Lake City. We'll be at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles April 17th.

Video description
Jimmy and comedian, writer and actor Rick Overton light into Jon Stewart for recycling Islamophobic “72 virgin” jokes from the Iraq War era to mock Iran's response to U.S. aggression, accusing him of pushing war propaganda while ignoring critical facts. They detail how Iran only attacked U.S. military bases that were being used to bomb Iran, while Israel is simultaneously attacking Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Lebanon—facts Stewart omits to paint Iran as irrational. Jimmy points out that Israeli agents were arrested in Gulf countries for planning bombings, confirming that Israel is actively trying to drag the region into a wider war, which former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert admits Israel wants. Jimmy and Rick conclude by noting Stewart's brother, Larry Leibowitz, was a top executive at the New York Stock Exchange, suggesting a conflict of interest that explains his silence on Wall Street and willingness to toe the establishment line on wars, Ukraine, and COVID.
