sachs. they say it was clearly a house of cards waiting to collapse. jon stewart launched his tv comeback on apple tv. he warned the new program won't be as funny as the daily show, he's getting lousy reviews. he started with a deadly serious topic, iraq war veterans who haven't been able to get healthcare after being exposed to toxic chemicals. >> burn pits. burn pits. we did that to ourselves. and as these smoldering ashtrays of freedom burned, they released a bouquet of carcinogens and it has had devastating consequences for the people who served. howie: he chatted with ailing veterans, interviewed the va secretary. knows 45 minutes of this sober stuff doesn't have mass appeal, and he's right. crew saiding rather than -- crusading rather than comedy is
calling on them all to lose their jobs or be punished instead of trying to persuade them that you would do in a civil society. howie: i hate anybody who takes pleasure or glee in people losing their jobs or getting sick if they were opposed to the vaccine. i'm glad we had a chance to talk about the free speech inmri cases here. -- implications here. still to come, britney spears is flying high, a political story sinks corey lewandowski and jon stewart's come back on the buzz meter, next but not every tomato ends in the same kind of heinz ketchup. because a bit of magic unfolds when there's a ketchup for everyone.
get and opponents are pro-war. you say? >> he's wrong. we've done much better than that in the past in other negotiations. he gave away the store. >> reporter: president obama said, opponents of the deal are either lying or ignorant. >> i think that's a very sorry statement by a president of the united states. he ought to read his own agreement. >> reporter: on jon stewart's show, president obama said his critics think he should have sent dick cheney to negotiate the iran nuclear deal. >> if you were going to send people to class and study how to be a negotiator, you would not do it the way that barack obama has done it. >> reporter: liz, you think your father could have done a better job? >> i think my father's dog could have done a better job. but in all seriousness, every time the president says those of us who oppose the deal are pro-war, i think it's important for people to go back and look at the specifics of what the
kid's xbo x-games to work with another kid's playstation games or, as the family's parent or commander in chief, could you just command we're going to just use the xbox. >> the act of making fun of everyone and making fun of everything, i think when jon stewart really rattled people is when it started to emerge in the data, started to emerge on the data, young people were not just having a good time watching jon stewart on "the daily show" they were learning about the news from jon stewart on "the daily show." he does do a good job teaching you things while making you laugh. it is an art and a lot of us try to do it but he consistently does it. he also has seeded the landscape with so many other people who are also good at that particular art that it's hard to imagine political satire in our country going forward without the people jon stewart has brought into it
>> even though you identify yourself as fake news and having -- built with a fake news process -- >> we don't say fake. fake is wrong. that is a misnomer that we use and it's not news anything. we're commenting on the news. >> i think that you think of it differently but i think a lot of people who watch your show and cable news think of what we do as not being that different which sucks for me because i used to be the mildly amusing person talking like using humor to tell the story of the wasteful f-35 second engine on that fighter jet. and now i'm the person trying to be jon stewart and sucking. >> i love that f-35, that engine bit killed them. that used to be my bit. >> even if you're not launching it in the same way, it's being received in the same way. what you're doing were not seen
that is that he consistently chooses to talk about war and foreign policy and national security and veterans issues. he doesn't have to do that stuff but he does. and i am a liberal who really cares about those issues. i care about those issues almost more than i care about anything else. i was lucky enough to be able to go on his show a bunch of times to talk about those issues. but as hard as i try to get those kinds of issues into the national discussion particularly as a liberal, honestly nobody is better or more consistently good about talking about those issues in a way that everybody understands than jon stewart has been all these years, and i will miss that. >> the defense department uses a medical tracking program called alta while the v.a. uses a gem superior program called vista and those two programs are unable, i swear to you this is true, those two programs are unable to communicate with each
are also good at that particular art that it's hard to imagine political satire in our country going forward without the people jon stewart has brought into it through their roles on "the daily show." >> not only was i finally on the bus, but i was going to get the chance to talk to senator john mccain. >> sir, how are you? you are welcome on our bus at any time. >> let's do a lightning round. >> okay. >> your favorite book. >> for whom the bell tolls. >> favorite movie. >> charlton heston. >> marlon brando. >> close enough. if i were a tree i would be a -- >> if i were a tree i would be a root. >> what does that mean? >> senator, how do you reconcile the fact were you one of the most vocal critics of pork barrel politics and yet while were you chairman of the commerce committee that committee set a record for unauthorized appropriations?
terminal four of the phoenix sky harbor international airport. it's a chain. governor palin, no disrespect. you're a guest of our city. we should offer you the finest our hospitality has to offer you. i thought captain combover could have pulled that one off. i mean for [ bleep ] sake it's new york city. i hate to use this term this close to ground zero but we're a bit of a pizza mecca. i mean you know you've got -- you've got lombardi's. honestly lombardi's. go down to lombardi's, little italy. founded in 1905. make their own pork sausage. >> i get my pizza from lombardi's. when jon stewart signs off tonight on his final show on "the daily show" we will enter a new american era where for the first time in 16 years i don't think it's hyperbole to say we really don't know how the
sharper and more self-conscious and ultimately better. this show you're watching here this host would not be here if it were not for the influence of jon stewart and his success in doing what he does. and i'm sure that trevor noah is going to be great and i look forward to him taking over over there. but between us i will miss jon stewart on "the daily show" like a house on fire. his last show after 16 years is later tonight. thanks for all the time jon. i appreciate it. >> i don't want to because i'm sick. there you go.
>> the protesters are now being whisked away to an all expenses paid vacation in beautiful guantanamo bay. >> stephen colbert will soon take over for david letterman. john oliver has his successful show on hbo. steve carrel is steve carrel. "the daily show" with jon stewart end tonight. it is hard to imagine our political discourse without him, not just because of the way he shaped the rest of satire but because of the way he shaped the news and politics by being both of it and against it, too. and there's a reason the president of the united states did so many shows and bill o'reilly couldn't say no either. you couldn't afford -- you've never been able to afford. did not take him seriously. if you are a liberal in particular but really for all of
