He admitted it himself... www.inquisitr.com/113474/bill-oreilly-admits-that-his-tv-persona-is-just-an-act/

This was even more of an act. He knows his show's viewers literally average over 60, while Stewart has the prime 18-35. So Bill tried to act hip and mostly failed, though I try not to put myself in a young Reaganite's shoes cause I'm not that messed in the head. Maybe it worked for someone.

John gets plenty of credit. He is the GOAT of political commentary. He will call bullshit on either side of the aisle, he is passionate and incredibly intelligent while still appearing dumb at times for the sake of humor. I love the old Crossfire interview, the hosts thought they got a layup and he ripped them apart, so much show their show was shortly canceled later. His testimony for 9/11 first responders is tear jerking. Him talking about Covid was icing on the cake. Absolute national treasure.

He's our generations George Carlin

​@@kylekyger7735 did you ever see the interview with a young Jon Stewart interviewing Carlin? It's brilliant. And at the end he got a big compliment from Carlin..

I think comedy (at least in this 11 year old debate) comedy was Stewart’s Trojan Horse, yet Bill is the only clown on the stage.

On point. Making a articulate, reasoned point and being funny is tough.

Seeing this comment after the PACT Act hits even more on point, which is impressive cause it was already a bullseye

Amen brother. Us and 9/11 1st responders.

Jon put me in his orbit on the daily show for a few months because I was a combat veteran. He is 100 percent authentic in my eyes, the guy is here to speak for people who can't speak for themselves.

​@@michaelpotts7241 absolutely, Jon fought for decades along side sick 9/11 first responders to extend their healthcare..and succeeded.

Are they mutually exclusive?

MakRude G i misread his comment sorry

This is never understood the argument against it. If you're afraid of moochers, why risk creating more?

Totally agree. I must also say Bill has no idea what he is talking about. To blanket statement "Go to Canada they can't get a surgery they come here" is pure ignorance. I went to emerg as I fell down stairs. I was rushed in, an urgent MRI was ordered and I had two surgeries.

As a Canadian as well, I can say you are absolutely %100 correct. I always hear American conservatives rail against Canadian health care, and virtually everything they say is a lie. Are there wait times for surgeries? It depends... if you need a knee replacement, sure, you may wait 4 months, but critical operations are performed same day. We Canadians LOVE our socialized health care and would NEVER give it up... hell, in a recent Canada-wide 'Event' TV show vote, the creator of our health care system was named the 'Greatest Canadian Ever'... I truly wish American liberals knew that fact when debating the subject on TV. Lastly, let me say that I've lived literally 1 minute's drive from the American border my entire life, and have never known a single person who's gone south for any health care.

This Canadian RN agrees with you. Surgeries are done in order of priority. The system has many flaws, but people don't die here simply because they don't have access to healthcare. Sadly, the same cannot be said of the US. The richest country in the world still denies it's citizens universal healthcare and about 40-50,000 people die every year because of it.

Sadly, US is not the richest country in the world. Most money do not equal richest country. Why everyone believes that is beyond me.

+ Kigo because people don't understand economics...

John didn't even know the difference between the deficit and the debt, If you actually understand these issues you can see how badly he got slaughtered. Watching this back 10 years later gives it a whole different light.

He knows his base

I'm kind of in the same boat haha

I got off BS mountain a bit before that. However, I didn't believe, and still don't, that Orielly was as bad as he was made out to be some times. Don't get me wrong. I am not talking about his behavior behind the scenes or even many of his political stances. I only mean that he could be reasoned with, somewhat, and occasionally made sense. I couldn't imagine any of the current Fox News talking heads being able to do anything like what Orielly was doing with Stewart here.

I was actually surprised how many points that O'Reilly made here that I agree with, or more so that he falls much more left than I anticipated. It's amazing how far things have pushed this last decade, that the civil discourse and ability to find common ground is lost.

Personally, I am very confused how anyone who is normal and sane could ever be a conservative or think Bill O'Reilly has any semblance of intelligence or insight. Kinda scares the shit out of me to think how people like you can just switch off your brain and accept any of that bullshit. Please tell me how that happens.

Which way did you go? Radical MAGtard or normal?

Healthcare should be a human right. What kind of fucked up is it to think:" I know you are very sick but, unfortunately, you can't afford to get healed so we'll just let you die in pain" this is just disgusting

Plus there's that sociopathic fuckface who bought pharmaceutical companies only to jack up the prices and make a shit ton of money on people's lives. Seriously how is this legal!? "Oh but it's the free market" well here you go: first and definitely not the last evidence that the free market doesn't work. When you let beats sell you a $14 piece of plastic for $200 you got to see there's a problem. The free market doesn't work. Ok I'm done with my rant. I just had to let it out

+Zacc oh yeah Canada will let people die if they don't think it's worth treating them ( if theirs a low chance of survival or if the treatment is experimental, this happens particularly with cancer patients) they'll say oh well it's not worth it to try where in America if you have insurance they'll do everything they can to save you.

PrisonOfMinD85 1. Committed Treason- Patriot act kinda throws a wrench in that accusation (George W Bush administration 2001). It's both unconstitutional AND allowed under the new rules. Kinda valid criticism... kinda not. What I would say though... I don't suppose you would have preferred McCain or Romney on that front. Both of them are AT LEAST campaigning on a much more totalitarian platform than Obama did. I know you can't really put too much stock into campaigning promises, but the odds are that ANY Republican (especially the front-runners) are likely to be even more aggressive offenders than Obama. So... you really only have a point there if you ignore the facts that we only have 2 realistic choices, neither of them exists in a vacuum and often have to make strategic compromises with the rules, and the President isn't supremely powerful anyway. If you want to go from a 100% idealist standpoint, go right ahead, but you have to recognize that idealism is the exact opposite of pragmatism (Idealism is based rigidly on what you think a perfect society would be IF IT EXISTED. Pragmatism is based flexibly on the imperfect society THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS) If you want to have an idealist discussion, fine, but pragmatism conflicts with idealism for the sole purpose of being an effective compromise. Pragmatism really only exists because idealism always fails. As a matter of fact, if Idealism worked, pragmatism would be out of a job. In an imperfect world, pragmatism really is the only tool Idealism has to get through obstacles. 2. Again... kinda valid... kinda not. The Bush tax cuts jutted out into the Obama years... but... Obama DID extend them... against his will... under immense Republican pressure... as a compromise. Could you criticize him for this? Yes. But... you still have to keep in mind that he did it as a preventative measure (since he knew that Congress control was going red and he needed to get this squared away short-term so that it doesn't get extended indefinitely during Republican control. Very much a similar situation to the above. He didn't get what he wants, and you could have counted on it being MUCH worse with a Republican president.

if you did more investigating on your own instead of faux news you would find out that the budget DECREASED under OBama at the same rate it INCREASED under Bush!

He gets his information from Fox News, so he is just as ignorant as 99% of the republicans.

+Y2K Sports lol

He is Fox News so it's more like he gets his information from everywhere we do ... Then spins it and calls it News

Y2K Sports​ ive always wondered why? Why do republicans do that?

I don’t think MOST presidential candidates are this knowledgeable about these issues, this open and honest about what they think, or this passionate about … anything.

If only the socio-economic system created leaders with real integrity and a dedicated track record for respect for science, nature and sustainable humanity AND they weren't so much political leaders as actual leaders in their field to create the most efficiency, sustainable and healthy society as technically possible. So much so that the role of politician would be made obsolete like the human lamp lighter and elevator operator of old. We need a socio-economic evolution if we want to see more intelligent and relevant debates be common place in the mainstream media. Going to have to start bottom up, local level first, with shared strategies for creating this better system that people can choose to join. What about the contributionist strategy as being practised and proposed by the One Small Town movement with Michael Tellinger? Looks like something that both Stewart and O'Reilly - begrudgingly - could agree on.

The opposite of what happens when you reach for your pocket with police. He was strapped with the documents Haha

And Stewart stood firm, didnt miss a beat, and didn't blink...that is how you do it.

Just further proves his complete naivety of everything

The housing crisis was caused by people lending money to people who they knew would go bankrupt so that they could collapse the housing market and buy up cheap property. It was a scam carried out by a collection of ultra-wealthy people. And no, that's not all people were investing in. Bill was right, the tax cuts allowed people to keep more of their own wealth and use it how they saw fit. The tax cuts didn't cause the housing crisis, tricky rich people did. Putting blame where it belongs is the first step to solving a problem.

a fake economy... run by two ignorants... Bush and Greenspan... each created the worst economy and largest Real Estate crash of US history...

“Debt. Is. Bad.” If someone ever spoke to me that way, I would immediately punch them. I know I shouldn’t, but… OOF. Talking down to the entire crowd and Stewart like that…

its funny since rich people totally love debt because its what they use to make more money.

I’m trying to convince myself that’s an incredibly deadpan sarcastic joke. Just in case it’s not, I cant help but wonder if you watched straight faced while Stewart literally danced around, used his elevator prop, and repeated his very adult and serious debate catchphrase “bullshit mountain” to roars of laughter throughout this entire broadcast. @33:10 I especially like this great valid debate point he made, where he elevated himself with his prop, and leaned full over the podium with his foot on it all while saying nothing then smugly smiled at the camera and audience with an impish schoolboy attitude. That’s some good debatin’ right thurr. Someone else commented about Bill’s cards he brought, saying they’re childish, to which someone replied “he knows his base”… to which I would argue no, he knows Stewart’s base, who were the people he was trying to reach. No use preaching to the choir, maybe he was hoping simplified points complete with pictures would get through to at least one or two of these starry eyed clapping seals in the audience. I think Bill and Jon made some valid points, but I have to say the only clown on this stage is Stewart.

Civility went out the window with the last guy and O Reilley and his whole propaganda network is a big part of the reason we are where we are today. ..

***** First off, I didn't even read all that, and I'm not going to bother considering you started off with an insult. Learn a little tact and respect if you want people to listen to you. It's nonsensical that these corporations get ridiculous tax breaks (and in some cases, actual REFUNDS). However, it's even more ridiculous that people seem to be more mad that a small family that can't afford food needs help and gets it, than they are about a corporation, who has billions of dollars in profits, getting money back from the government because of absurd tax loopholes and bureaucratic nonsense, that they most definitely don't need.

This quote was the definition of the democrat party. Jobs come from businesses. They must expand to hire more people. What does disability or welfare have to do with creating jobs?

Hey Nathan, did you ever consider that maybe, just maybe, disabled people being able to fucking LIVE is as important as the creation of jobs? Food for thought, but clearly you aren't a thinker. If you wanna talk economics, look at Hoover vs FDR.

And way more substance too.

@@Steelburgh Thing is, there is more honesty that can happen between two people who aren't necessarily fundamentally and strictly tied to a political party. That's why politicians debating each other rarely gets to anything real and honest. It's a bunch of talking heads repeating their party talking points. Might as well have painted robots going out there. Also, politicians are literally lobbied and sponsored by big corporations and big money interests to influence their views and policies. That's why studies have proven the views of the majority in America have ZERO impact on what legislation gets passed unless it reflects the interests of the wealthy elite class. The capitalist system that guarantees and wealthy elite class, a shrinking middle class and a poor (as Carlin puts it to "scare the sh*t" out of the middle class) has produced a bought and paid for government just like your average person buys pizza. If everything is for sale in this socio-economic sale? Why wouldn't government and politicians be? If we don't like that, we need to create a new system, a better system that actually empowers every regular person to have a voice, starting at the local level. That's where change has to happen, but with a shared strategy that can be adopted by any group or town around the country. That way, people can live where they live and make a better community there, but also collaboration and cooperate as they wish with a larger cooperative that enhances what they are doing with contributionism and direct democracy, something like what is happening with the One Small Town initiative, as Michael Tellinger has talked about.

I was just thinking: If Stewart opened with that speech about Bullshit Mt. today, he would get absolutely shredded. Because the list of thing conservatives falsely believe about the US doesn't hold a candle to the list that progressives believe: That we are in the throws of a white supremacist tyranny; that women are somehow oppressed; that corporations, and the "1%" don't pay their fair share of taxes; that having and enforcing borders is racist. It was true--though somewhat exaggerated--that at this time, the conservative political block was conspiracy and fear mongering. But the conspiracy and fear mongering of the left, today, is far worse.

Yeah I agree. I know many who have had to endure illness while they waited, and a few who unfortunately did not make it. What I haven’t seen, is people bankrupting themselves over illness. My grandmother spent over two years in hospital after a complication from a hip replacement. It didn’t cost a dime. I had to wait 9 months to see a specialist for a skin condition, but in that time, I could visit my doctor whenever I needed, free of charge, and get advice, new prescriptions, referrals, and lots of other helpful amenities. If I had lived in the states, what would have changed? I would have seen a dermatologist 9 months sooner, but I would have had to pay thousands of dollars, to come to the same conclusion I did here in Canada, that my condition is chronic, and treatable with store bought products. I am satisfied with Canadian healthcare. It could be better, but it could be SO MUCH worse, like Americas for example.

Kris Doyle same here in switzerland. and norway and switzerland are the happiest countries in the world, aka least poverty, high living standarts, good jobs, much free time.

Kris Doyle that's mixed or centralist ideology...what an illiterate moron.... doesn't know anything

Kris Doyle same in Germany

Kris Doyle Whats the population of Norway in contrast to the US? You believe someone should pay a higher *percentage*?? How do people earn money? You believe that because someone is rich that they took it from someone else, or that they cheated? And please, don't use the few corrupt on wall st who cheat the system to represent every wealthy person. You believe that the government should take your money and decide how to spend it. You believe that it's moral to take money away from someone's bank account and hand it over to a total stranger who did not earn it. That's the very definition of income inequality. 2 people performing different tasks but end up with the same pay after deducting a higher amount of taxes from the one who worked harder and/or created a product more valuable. Socialism doesn't fit with the American dream

Ian Well, if the American Dream leaves a significant amount of people in poverty where the system has turned against them even despite their best efforts to get ahead in life legitimately, then the American Dream has become bullshit.

Your'e right, we don't. (I am saying this assuming you are from a different country.)

Never did I once say you were or made any comments making people think you were.

home of the non-free? That's the best you can do? Must be a Brit.

HA she has jokes

I'm European but I currently live and work in the US. I love America but I must say that's true and it's a pitty. Smaller countries with 2,5,8 or 10 million people have better [relatively to population] mass transport, less crime, better education, better healthcare... There are countries where you earn the equivalent to about 800, 900 dollars but because the costs of life and taxes are so low one can actually live and save some money. Not my case though...

1000 DEGREE HOT KNIFE JON STEWERT CUTS THROUGH BULLSHIT MOUNTAIN GONE WRONG GONE SEXUAL

MultiQuanzaAVQ 😂😂😂👌🏾

handsomehippo or he spread it like a butter knive

And he doesn't agree with them because it's bullshit.

Funny liberals. Stewart just used comedy. Which unfortunately liberals see as fact.

I'm new to Jon Stewart, I have to say I've got a crush. He's the kind of genuine, intelligent and passionate democratic socialist that there should be more of in this world. Brains and humour combined are definitely attractive .

"Very honest," "educated" and "smart"? The man doesn't understand the difference between deficit spending and our national debt. He loses a ton of credibility when he doesn't understand the basic fundamental differences. Then there was his nonsense about Levittown and his so-called "subsidized housing." smh ... How'd that get past you? Obviously, you're as ignorant as he is. Welcome to liberalism!

@@devinbrown3454 , anyone who can't see when John gets serious on a point, is an idiot.

sounds like you got a crush

Savoeuth Say so is bill o’reilly lol

Or at least mix the algorithm up a bit. For example: O'Reilly / Stewart debate, cat fail video, GG Allin's funeral, cat fail video, transgender make-up tutorial, The Weather Channel blooper reel, *fat* cat fail video, etc.

The one like on my above comment was from me.

Dude seriously. How tf did I miss this for 8 years?

Lol

It's pretty hard to find the old Stewart stuff in general, and it's not because it's not there. I know - I've been doing it for days, because I had a sudden missing. I think 'old' quality may be being suppressed a bit, but not sure why otherwise.

Also Robin Hood is a bad analogy because he really didn't "Steal from the rich" he actually stole from the government who was over taxing the people.

W P You lack the brain capacity to understand what you are hearing.

That's true. But O'reilly at times did not even address the issue at hand either or at least very weakly.

I didn't really catch him hiding behind jokes that much, I would go so far as to say that he listed three times as many facts. Even if TRUE facts are presented in a manner that gets a laugh... THEY ARE STILL TRUE

O' Reilly knows that Stewart is a comedian and still tries to debate with him.... Besides, Stewart makes great points.. And if I recall, I hear O' Reilly 'Attempt' at some jokes.. lol they weren't funny at all though.

A Strange Tree it is NOT the free market? Some rich pigs take advantage of the system. Free market is what allows so many small businesses keep thriving.

That quote is just as important now as it was then.

The premise is inaccurate because a truly free market doesn’t socialize losses. What that describes is Mercantilism, which is what the USA economic system is more than anything else.

@@robertferguson7804 I am not sure you are contradicting the original response. Nevertheless, a true free market is pretty impossible. As there always will be huge companies on which a lot of the economy relies upon. And what you are referring to as true free market, is almost impossible. So when they refer to the free market system, they mean the aspects of it the republicans are supporting, and want to expand. It just just point out the hypocrisie. As republicans you can not give big companies the freedom to do whatever they want, manipulate the market. and raise prices on products they have a monopoly over. And then when they encounter financial problems you ask for help. This would just mean you want parts of socialism, but republicans do not want to admit this.

@@SOSULLI Thanks for the comment. I appreciate the effort. Let's start with this, who cracks down on the monopolies? The Government? The biggest monopoly of them all? Big corporations and the government are the same thing. So then what? Who watches the watchers? I am not a Republican. You said that a true free market is "pretty impossible" and then "almost impossible" Okay, but it should always be the goal. As a force toward something let's say. You seem like you are in your late 20's to mid 30's. You're on the right track man. Keep going.

I forgot to say that he seems classier here too.

Benjamin Cooper If he was debating the President he would not have been so respectful. He has proven that through his interview.

Benjamin Cooper yeah he deffinately seems funnier and more polite as well

Benjamin Cooper did we all watch the same thing? I guess adults are as easily entertained as infants. I don't find making "funny" noises when you don't have an argument classy, funny, or respectable.

No such thing anymore. Probably more of a democrat at this point. Either that or you're an extremist Trumpist red cap.

There is such a thing as the Republican middle. People like me that believe that the economy should come before social issues, but acknowledge that they can't be ignored either. That honestly couldn't give two shits about gay marriage, but still have issues with abortion. That believe in climate change, but aren't willing to damage the economy and leave ourselves at the mercy of foreign markets to combat it. Not every republican agrees with Trump, just like how not every liberal acts like a precious snow flake.

Jay Winter So where the hell was your kind during the election? We were drowned out in a sea of stupidity. Loud, stupid, misinformed republicans took over everything, despite being the visible minority. You were supposed to be there for the country when we needed you the most.

Jay Winter 8 years focused on social issues? I won't even bother addressing such a ridiculous statement. You don't sound like a moderate republican. Especially if you're "closing your nose" by voting for a demagogue who has spit on the constitution, American values, and even proposed a protectionist, anti-freetrade bowl of lies as an economic agenda. I don't think you're as moderate as you think you are. Moderate republicans closed their nose and voted for Clinton. Independents closed their noses and voted for Trump.

+Jay Winter All due respect, but I will never understand that mindset. I was a Bernie vote, but in all honesty, I could have tolerated status quo for 4 more years. That said, I think the progressive movement landed its punch, and the DNC has been forced to follow "The Art of War" ideal that when equally matched, split, and re-evaluate.

my God you're right

maybe he watched this and thought "hmmm"

Yeah, so we can blame John Stewart for Trump's brain fart

Abhishek Singh Such an eduacted, mature response.

***** im surprised anyone replied to you. Way too much text man, no one gives a flying fuck.

If he had a real-life debate with them I suspect he would. Disputing someones argument in a video essay where they cannot respond is significantly easier. Stewart is immensly quick on his feet and very articulate.

Casey Legamaro LMAO

Casey Legamaro dude Ben Shapiro is a joke. He attacks the far left sure but he wouldn't stand a chance with either of these big hitters in a debate. Not saying quick wit is everything but I would not bring him up when Stewart is in the conversation

Casey Legamaro Wut? You probably fell for the stupid clickbait titles. The only thing these guys do well is strawman their opponents.

Wile E. Coyote no Shapiro can bring out facts, statistics and rational at a moments notice, Stewart relies on charisma to charm his audiences as he’s a comedian it works well. It’s very difficult to catch a comedian but I think Shapiro could work it well if he pulled out the serious arguments AKA abortion or Racial tensions in the USA. People don’t tend to care much for economic numbers they tend to care for something they can personify. (I study debate tactics) Shapiro is a very good double binder and can work his way around people he worked bill maher (is that how you spell it) on bills own show. He took piers Morgan out with his own games. I think if Shapiro plays to his strength which is never get emotional, never get baited and allow Stewart to talk himself into a corner than he should be capable of it. A lot of speakers get wrong with Stewart is that they try and play him at his own game. Tucker Carlson for example tried to play funny heckler with a comedian (we saw how that went).

What??

a lot of conservatives against universal healthcare are wrong. i have like 35 friends who live in canada and love their healthcare, they tell me constantly that they have never had long waits, or needed to go to the u.s. for anything every time they see our media saying that is what happens.

@@tmophead NHS is consistently voted the best healthcare system in the world and I am proud of my countries nation health service and the amazing people that make it happen and their passion.

@@hephaestusfitness4758 well this didnt age well... i hope you are right and reports about the state of the NHS are false and can cope...

@@chrishuerlimann4696 that's not because of the NHS, no health system in the world could handle the coronavirus if their government dealt with it the way the brits did at the start
