[cheers and applause] jon welcome to the daily show. My name is jon stewart. Weve got a good one for you tonight. My guest robin roberts. As always before the show im scribbling the phrase n. I. H. N. I. H. Dniho for no reason. Theres not much in the world i truly love besides my family, my country, my collection of antique ceramic cats. Hello morris. But above all my heart belongs to my belied. [cheers and applause] so when i tuned into his program last night, like i do every night [laughter] it was kind of a good news, bad news situation. Tonight im taking on the ever so funny jon stewart of the the daily show. Stuart and his stewarts and his friends at Comedy Central they are the cheeft apologists for the obama administration. I cant expect a comedic hack and his army of writers, i cant take them too seriously. Jon o my god, o oh, my god. Just wait. Just wait. Sean hannity knows my name. [ laughter ] ill be honest with you, the hack thing hurts a little, but the wound is heeled by the healed by the ointment of your attention. [laughter] sean there, well, he was upset that on monday i may have mentioned that he was being hypocritical in defending the nevada rancher and militant federal grazing fee not payer cliven bundy. I am sympathetic to critics of Eminent Domain and those who feel that obamas jack booted thugs should never have signed those federal grazing fees indefinitely. Did i say obama . I meant ronald reagan. [laughter] thats besides the the point. Of course, according to hannity his support of cliven isnt even about rule of law. Can i make my position more clear to mr. Stewart . I stand for proportionality. I thought there was a lack of proportionality here. Jon its proportionality, portion control. The government is overreacting which they tend to do when they attempt to collect money and the ower might have mentioned he has weapons and is vowing to do whatever it takes with his wife adding that she has a loaded shotgun and is ready to do what we have to do. Im sure the government f they tried one more time sent a couple more guys up there with a Swiss Army Knife and one of those credit card swipers, im sure we could settle this reasonably. Because sean hannity is for proportionality when dealing with dissent. Like when a Police Officer generally seasoned at uc davis. Its a lot of pepper spray. It was a lot. Did they cross the line . I dont think so. [audience boos] jon no, that was proportional. In fact, they couldnt have crossed the line because i didnt even see a line because my bleep eyes were burning because i had just had a pepper spray shower. [cheers and applause] so that that is a responsible exercise of authority. I mean those people were clearly there. [ laughter ] which i believe is provocation enough. They were in possession of butts with intent to sit. So that was entirely aappropriately. By the way, trademark phrase. [ laughter ] what about stop and frisk is in the random search and seizure based purely on appearance . Is that proportional or authority overreach. Officials cited the Police Tactic as being instrument in reducing crime in the big apple. Murder rates, crime went down. Just to say someone is suspicious because they are black and brown. Thats not fire. Cant tie the hands of Law Enforcement. Jon sean hannity will not allow the Law Enforcement officers to have their hands tied when they need them to frisk the brown people. [laughter] brown cows, on the other hand [laughter] have certain constitutional rights. But anyway thats when bleep got weird. You may remember that jon stewart had to rally to restore sanity. He invited all of his friends to attend including this singer. Remember cat stevens. He changed his name to yusuf islam. Theres one problem with inviting him to a rally calling for sanity thats the same yusuf islam for inciting a fatwa for trying to kill salman rushdie. Jon i wanted him to play peace train and end it with love train. It was a good bit. [ laughter ] had one small flaw the fatwa guy, but you would be surprised how few nonfatwa musicians have done train based songs and were available that weekend. But correct, correct mr. Hannity, mistake. I should have looked into it. It should have known better, im just not sure you are the best guy to make the guilt by Musician Association point. Hes a piece of bleep . Worthless bleep . That was friend and frequent guest on the program ted nugent. [cheers and applause] [laughter] jon now believe it or not, i didnt know about the cat stevens fatwa thing when we booked him but you went from a tape of ted nugent saying that to that was friend of show ted nugent. I will say this for all the hypocritical nonfactual core rosive, hackie, awful word terds that you speak [laughter] you did get one thing right. Stewart went into his tape arsenal that serve as as more proof. Begging me to stay in new york, he is kind of obsessed with this program. [cheers and applause] jon yeah [cheers and applause] i am obsessed. I am obsessed with your program. You can say true things. I am obsessed with your program in the same way im obsessed obd with antibiotic resistant superbugs or the kfc double down because i just cant believe with in this day and age with all that we know this bleep is out there. That humanity humanity [cheers and applause] that our society is still weighed down by these burdens of aseemingly more medieval time, like your show. So see it night after night serving up the same bleep . My god, you are the arbys of news. [cheers and applause] how can i not be obsessed with the arbys of news. Arbys the hannity of roast beef sandwiches. [ laughter ] and what is so fascinated is the paradox at the heart of your show, that your purely blind partisan impulses are couched in such lofty principle. Everything framed in terms of power of patriotism. The flag pin, you got the backdrops. You got the graphics. The pat rottic ball cozies you sell on your web site and you what . They are very inexpensive. They are made in malaysia. Yet, you, the uberamerican, this man is your cause. I dont recognize the United States government as even existing. Jon he doesnt recognize americas existence. He is u. S. Atheist because the federal government does exist. It was created by those guys and that document you love so, so much. The beauty of, i think, the framers and the founders is they put in place this document where they had the ability to right wrongs and correct injustices. Right. The American People really want a return to First Principles and constitutional government. I love washington because he gave up power. Amazing to me when he could have held on to it. Now theres a founding father who could found the bleep out of everyone. How do you think he would handle an armed group of federal government rejiksists rejectionists. Washington with his federal army crushed it in 1794, i guess would you say disproportionally. A man named daniel shays pulled the same bleep in 1786 and 1787. Thats him rolling down a hill. The Founding Fathers called forth. And this makes you an antifederalist or to be kind lets just say you love the Founding Fathers but only their early work before they sold out and became the man or men or early work before they sold out and became the man or men or White Property own nobody ever stomped their foot and asked for less. Because what we all really want. Is more. Theres a reason its called an all you can eat buffet. And not a have just a little buffet. Thats the idea behind the more everything plan. Its more of everything you want, for less. Because, cmon. No one ever takes the second biggest cookie. Get more with our best plans on the best network. For best results, use verizon.

A professional basketball players best friend . Basketball players ride the team bus. But this guy .

Jon and i wish you both and the one eyed woman, i wish you the best of luck. Stephen hold back the tears, jon. Youll be fine. Jon thanks for coming comin.

[cheers and applause] hello jon well, hello. How are you . [cheers and applause] jon thank you so much for being here. Im sorry out of habit i said good morning. I am sorry. Jon they did just get up i know these people. Close enough to 4 20 that they just got up. Oh jon everybody has somebody but something but man, not everybody has everything. You really got hit with the whammies of whammies. A Breast Cancer diagnosis was the first, yes . In 2007, yes. I completed treatment in 2008. But the reason i said everybody has something. Its true. I got slapped upside the head. The point my mom said, it doesnt matter. Everybody has something. My something is no more important or greater than any other challenge that someone else was facing. There was a point where i was looking up to the heavens saying if you want to spread it around a little bit more, that is fine with me. Jon parents can deliver this kind of sage vice advice and do it in a vacuum. I think they never know if your kids. You seemed to have absorbed the listons its not what happens to you but the way you deal with it that makes you incredibly proud. My parents my dad grew up in jersey. Yes. Jon im familiar. As a small child he had the nerve to cut off a broom stick handle and went down to the basement and pretended he was flying and became a tuskeegee airman. My mother was the first in her family to get a college education. I come from good stock. Im grateful that some of the life lessons stayed with me. Every morning when i enter the studio for Good Morning America i blow a kiss to both of them up there and say good morning to them before i say Good Morning America. Jon and then when you are done with that do you down to george stephanopoulos. I know he is only [laughter] hes like hes i was waiting for that. It took you longer than i thought. [ laughter ] jon thats a terrible thing. I have to get him. Let me get him. [laughter] he and i are the same size, by the way. The first Christmas Gift he gave us six inch heels. Thats the good sport that he is. Jon very nice. Were you thinking man, i cant wait to get back up at 3 00 a. M. And get to work. [ laughter ] not so much. It was nice to have that six month break. But the point of it is when you are going through anything like that, especially, and i was off the air six months. Can you imagine not sitting in that chair for six months. [laughter] jon yes. Hold on. [laughter] come back to us, jon. Come back to us. Jon im standing on a Cool Mountain and a breeze was going through my hair. [laughter] all i wanted was to be normal again. Normal for me is getting up at 3 45 and getting in the studio and doing what i do. Jon right. Did you ever feel like you lost yourself . Oh jon or do you feel like you physically or emotional you sort of became outside of yourself or Something Else . There was a lot of times because during the bone mar row transplant what they do is completely take away your immune system because its dysfunctional and its going to kill you. Theythey have to wipe it out. I was so thankful my sister was a complete match. They pulled it out and put in her hers like a rebirth. I was one point in the hospital and hallucinating. I nurse came in and she said i was interviewing Walter Cronkite at the foot of my bed. True story. [laughter] yes, i would have to say i was outside of my body for a while.
