Anti-Trump Comedian Praises President For Maduro Operation
'He was a feared and cruel dictator'
Jon Stewart shuts down liberal journalist's Joe Rogan complaints
Comedian Jon Stewart shut down liberal journalist David Remnick for accusing Joe Rogan of recklessly platforming "Nazi curious" guests.
In a sit down interview, Stewart recounted his positive experiences appearing on Rogan's show over the years. Remnick pushed back, criticizing Rogan's massively popular podcast and protesting past guests who he claims cozy up to Nazis. Stewart flipped the script on Remnick, telling him to "beat him at their own game" instead of just complaining.
'Then do it better. Beat them at their own game.'
"I enjoyed being on Rogan," Steward said. "I think he's an interesting interviewer. There are rightwing weaponized commentators whose sole purpose is to manipulate things to the benefit of the Bannon project or the Project 2025. Rogan is not that guy."
"That guy is a curious comic who fell into this thing that got f***ing enormous," Stewart said of Rogan. "Maybe has opinions all over the political spectrum, but has tendencies that people on the left do not fit the aesthetic."

Remnick followed up by claiming Rogan has hosted guests that are "Nazi curious," which Steward dismissed with a hilarious comeback.
"I've interviewed Kissinger, and he was carpet-bomb curious," Stewart said. "I don't know what to say. It's very easy to castigate those where we are like, 'But he had an opinion a few years back that's corrosive.'"
Stewart's point didn't seem to resonate with Remnick, who replied by claiming Rogan is problematic because he hosts controversial guests on his show.
"The difference is when [Kissinger] was carpet-bomb curious, you didn't say, 'Oh yeah, that's awesome,'" Remnick said. "And what happens with Rogan sometimes is that he'll hear somebody that's on the dangerous end of the spectrum, and he'll just kind of soak it in."

Remnick went on to say that part of his concern is that he doesn't have as big of an audience as Rogan does, which he sees as an ideological barrier.
"Then get it," Stewart retorted. "Then go on that show and do those things. It's not acceptable to just say, 'Well, I don't like what he does.' Then do it better. Beat them at their own game. It's not enough to just complain that, 'That guy got a platform,' and, 'Don't platform that guy.' There's no one in this world that isn't platformed."
"Get out there. Fight."

Manspreading Stewart bumps lady co-host from 'Daily Show' chair
Some feminist.
Jon Stewart normally works the Monday beat at “The Daily Show” as part of his modest comeback tour. The faux anchor decided to pick up an extra shift this week, eager to weigh in ASAP on the suspension of fellow far-left talker Jimmy Kimmel.
Joaquin Phoenix, Cillian Murphy, Sharon Horgan, Steve Coogan, and Peter Gabriel are among the participants in a new activist video promoting … wait for it … Palestine.
He knows how much his country needs him, and it couldn’t wait until Monday. Bless his heart.
And, in the process, Stewart bumped the person who was slated to sit in the anchor chair. That’s Desi Lydic, who just won her second Emmy mere days ago for her work on the show.
Must be nice to be a progressive hero who can mansplain to a successful woman why he needs to take the big seat at a moment’s notice …
Rainning it in
Dwight keeps making sense.
Actor Rainn Wilson from “The Office” is a curious figure in Hollywood. He’s spiritual, but not a Christian. He’s left of center, but not someone decrying the rise of “fascism” every five minutes.
And most shocking of all, he’s aghast that some of his fellow liberals have souls so small you can’t see them without a microscope.
Wilson shared the reaction he saw from some fellow liberals after they learned that conservative icon Charlie Kirk was murdered by a leftist. We’ll let him share more:
I spoke to a couple of — let’s say liberal friends — at an event … and they were like, ‘You won’t find me shedding any tears.'
It was a little bit of a good-riddance thing, and it’s like, ‘Guys, NO!'
We cannot think or talk that way. That is not OK.”
He’s right, but it’s often the norm on the far-left side of the aisle, alas …

Mostly piecemeal protests
Variety’s photo editors got a workout this week.
Kimmel’s firing sparked a passionate protest outside Disney offices in New York and Burbank, or so we were told. The scribe assigned to the story used all the rhetorical tricks possible to play up the outrage, with foreboding phrasing like "Disney faced the consequences of its decision …" and "The crowds slammed ABC, Disney, and Brendan Carr."
The images told the real story – tightly cropped photographs that hid the scope of the protests. This story mentioned 200 people. A separate story said 300 people showed up.
Disney is quaking in its boots, no doubt. The walls are most certainly closing in …
'Imagine' there's no audience
Here we go again.
Remember all those celebrity videos where the stars assembled for the current thing? No makeup. Robotic phrase repetition. Faces you’ve never seen before among some legit stars. Exhausting.
The worst of the worst? The BLM-era “I Take Responsibility” cringe-fest featuring Aaron Paul, Kristen Bell, and Stanley Tucci.
Et tu, Stanley?
That Gal Gadot “Imagine” sing-along during the pandemic was a close second. Even liberals loathed that one, offering a rare moment of bipartisan agreement.
Maybe that's why we didn’t get many, if any, during the 2024 presidential campaign.
But now? They’re ba-ack.
Joaquin Phoenix, Cillian Murphy, Sharon Horgan, Steve Coogan, and Peter Gabriel are among the participants in a new activist video promoting … wait for it … Palestine.
“We have to tell the truth on behalf of the people of Palestine,” Brian Cox says in the clip. U.S. photographer Nan Goldin adds, “It’s always been the artist’s role in society to speak out, to risk speaking truth to power.”
Risk? Being pro-Palestine is the trendiest thing to do in celebrity circles. Shout “Free Palestine” and expect your agent’s phone to buzz and buzz.
Cheno-wimp out
Try sharing some heartfelt thoughts for the late Charlie Kirk. Wait: Kristin Chenoweth did just that, and she had to quasi-backpedal later.
I'm sorry if emotion gets involved here, forgive me. I saw what happened online with my own eyes, and I had a human moment of reflection right then. I came to understand that my comment hurt some folks, and that hurt me so badly. I would never. It's no secret that I'm a Christian, that I'm a person of faith. It's also no secret that I am an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, and for some, that doesn't go together. But for me, it always has and it always will.
Here's a thought: Why not grieve the death of a father and husband, gunned down in cold blood in front of his wife and daughter, without feeling the need to explain yourself to the raging, unhinged leftists who follow you on social media?
For a Hollywood star like Chenoweth, that would be speaking truth to power.
Late-night hosts react to Jimmy Kimmel's suspension in unison with the exact same awful bit
Late-night talk show hosts reacted to the suspension of their peer, Jimmy Kimmel, from his Disney-operated show.
Kimmel's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" was indefinitely taken off the air following his claims that Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin was a President Trump supporter.
'Americans are free to express any opinion we want.'
"... the MAGA gang desperately [is] trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said on Monday.
Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair soon announced they would pull the show from their feeds, and ABC subsequently suspended the production.
Thursday night, the three other top late-night hosts provided their reaction to Kimmel's suspension, which resulted in an awful display of either coordination or parallel thinking.
Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" was the first to air at 11 p.m. ET. After Stewart joked that "some people" would say the Trump administration was coldly "consolidating power" and using "intimidation" to silence people, he sarcastically added, "not me, though; I think it's great."
Stewart then went over to his diverse cast of seven reporters/fill-in hosts, whom he asked, "Is Donald Trump stifling free speech?"
In unison, they all answered in monotone, "Of course not, Jon. Americans are free to express any opinion we want."
Unfortunately, this predictable sketch was then replicated by host Jimmy Fallon just minutes later.

"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," which airs at 11:35 p.m., wasted no time covering the Kimmel debacle. In his opening monologue, Fallon referred to Kimmel and said, "A lot of people are worried that we won't keep saying what we want to say or that we'll be censored."
But the comedian assured his audience that he would "cover the president's trip to the U.K. just like I normally would."
Fallon then began giving a report, which was interrupted by voice-overs that were complimentary to Trump. For example, Fallon said, "President Trump just wrapped up his three-day trip to the U.K., and —" with the voice-over finishing the remark with "looked incredibly handsome."
This continued before Fallon repeatedly, and painfully, inserted Trump and "Epstein files" into more jokes about the president's trip to the U.K.
If audiences still weren't tired, they could simply endure the rest of Fallon's show to get another nearly identical bit from Seth Meyers an hour later.

At 12:35 a.m., the "Late Night with Seth Meyers" host said the Trump administration is "pursuing a crackdown on free speech," before switching gears and sarcastically saying, "I've always admired and respected Mr. Trump."
"I've always believed he was a visionary, a [sic] innovator, a great president, and even better golfer," he went on.
Meyers continued, "If you've ever seen me say anything negative about him, that's just AI."
The repetition of the similar bits across the three shows was only overshadowed by how quickly they happened. With Stewart's monologue getting into its sketch about 20 minutes into the program, that places Fallon's mirrored monologue just 15 minutes later. Then, audiences got to see the same comedy bit recited an hour later on the same network.
In an awkward display of the show's true bias, Meyers' Thursday episode also featured a drag queen who goes by the name "Jinkx Monsoon," who identifies as "trans-femme."
Hilariously, Meyers repeatedly referred to the actor — whose real name is Jerick Hoffer — as a woman.

Jon Stewart just revealed EXACTLY how the left works
“The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart recently attempted to dunk on Blaze media co-founder Glenn Beck by claiming he flip-flopped his position on the Epstein files in unwavering support of President Donald Trump.
Of course, the talk-show host seemed to forget that taking things out of context is disingenuous — but Glenn is unfazed.
“Jon Stewart has been mocking me for years, and that’s fine,” Glenn says.
“The only reason why I want to play this,” he explains before beginning Stewart’s montage, “'cause it’s really not worth it other than for anybody who doesn’t know how the left works. What they do is they take everything out of context, and they twist it to make it look as though I’m saying something that I’m not,” he adds.
“I honestly think my favorite thing about this is watching conspiracy theorists have to unravel the red string that they themselves originally strung out. Here’s the OG conspiracy theorist, Glenn Beck, at his excitement for Trump’s beginning of the second term,” Stewart said, before playing a clip of Glenn saying he believed the Epstein files would be released immediately.
However, Stewart made it seem like Glenn was saying Trump would release the files, when it was really Kash Patel who he thought would release the files.
“I had that on very, very good authority. Trust me, very good authority on that,” Glenn says. “I can’t help that that person that told me that was wrong. It was hard to be wrong, but they were wrong. And so I look like I was just out there on a limb. I don’t really care.”
Stewart then jumps to another clip of Glenn at a chalkboard, about six months later, where he’s explaining why he doesn’t believe Trump is on the Epstein list.
The entire time, Glenn is not stating facts, but rather saying what he believes.
“I asked, ‘Do you believe that?’ Leaving it open for you to say, ‘Yes, I do believe that,’” Glenn says.
“But remember, this whole chalkboard was, ‘What do I feel is most likely,’ not ‘What happened.’ What do I feel is most likely to have happened? Why? I wasn’t excusing no release. I was saying, ‘Why wasn’t there a release? Why didn’t it happen?’ But again, you’ll notice he doesn’t cover that,” he continues.
“This is exactly the way the left works,” he says, adding, “And especially with people like Jon Stewart, who are doing comedy, you take it out of context, and you take it out of context so you can make it funny.”
