8:00
My stupid people, when I
8:02
wanted to refute it, they said, sir, don't
8:05
dignify it with a refuddle. Refute
8:08
it or a
8:10
refuddle. What
8:12
the hell word would that be? Refuddle? What?
8:15
They'll say, he didn't know, refuddle or refoodle, but they
8:17
don't know either. It's neither. It's
8:21
neither of those words. What
8:24
do you mean they don't know? No, I don't
8:26
know what fake word you're trying to say. This
8:30
dude's entire brain is just squiggly
8:32
red spellcheck lines, and
8:35
then his mouth always tries to refuddle
8:37
every thought he has. That's
8:40
the big difference between Biden and Trump.
8:42
When they make a mistake, Biden will
8:44
correct himself, whereas Trump will deflect and
8:46
call everyone else an idiot, which to
8:48
be honest is more relatable. It's
8:51
like when I get too drunk and then I accuse
8:53
everyone else of being drunk instead of just focusing on
8:56
the road. Thank
9:01
you for laughing. On one hand, Biden's taking
9:03
the whole week to prepare, and on the
9:05
other hand, Trump's raw dog in it. Two
9:07
very different approaches. Which
9:10
one's right? For more on the
9:12
debate over whether to prepare for a debate or
9:14
just to wing it, let's go to Desi Lydic
9:16
and Troy Iwata. Desi,
9:25
you're for preparation. Why is that
9:27
better? Thank you, Michael.
9:31
Preparation is the better approach because it
9:33
gives you the tools you need to
9:35
lay out your position, project confidence, and
9:37
do this thing with your thumb. Because
9:41
as Thomas Edison said, genius is 1%
9:43
inspiration and 99% perspiration. Thank
9:48
you. Any

14:48
How do we do our show? My
14:54
name is John Stewart. Thank you all so very
14:56
much for joining us. We are coming to you
14:58
live. We,
15:05
you may say we
15:07
just watched what you
15:10
watched. We
15:13
just witnessed a debate
15:15
between President Joseph Robinette
15:17
Biden versus former President
15:19
Donald Robinette Trump.
15:23
It was a highly anticipated affair. According
15:25
to the network, that was running it. The
15:28
first Biden Trump debate a little over
15:30
one month away right here on CNN.
15:32
We are less than two weeks away
15:34
from the first presidential debate. Just one
15:36
week from today. Welcome to the first
15:38
work day of the most important week
15:40
of the presidential campaign. Three days and
15:42
counting. Just two days now. About
15:44
30 hour, 30 ish hours. Just
15:47
over 24 hours, 12 and a half hours. Say
15:51
the words. It's debate day in
15:53
America. The
15:58
candidates must have been so excited. I'm excited to
16:00
know that they haven't missed it. I
16:04
imagine old man Biden opening his window
16:06
and shouting at the street below, you
16:08
there, boy, what day is today? Boy,
16:12
it's debate day, sir. Then
16:15
there's still time. Prepare the debate, goos.
16:20
Prior to the event, what did
16:22
the political class believe would be
16:24
the criteria for each
16:26
candidate to be successful in the
16:28
debate? First, Donald Trump. Trump
16:31
has to show that he's not going to
16:33
end democracy. Don't respond in a way that
16:35
the suburban mothers wouldn't like. Don't interrupt Joe
16:37
Biden. Don't take the bait. Don't look like
16:39
a bully. Don't get angry. Portray normalness. Can't
16:45
you just pretend to be normal for 90
16:47
minutes? How
16:49
is that advice for a presidential debate and not what
16:52
you would say to your parents when you bring home
16:54
a date for the first time? Can
16:56
you not talk about January 6th? And
16:58
please don't do your Asian voice.
17:02
I really like this girl. But
17:05
that's Trump. Surely the
17:07
expectations on President Biden will
17:10
be higher. He absolutely
17:12
cannot have a senior moment,
17:14
a physical or verbal stumble,
17:16
him forgetting something. Many of
17:18
his kind of freezing moments say
17:20
alert, to stay engaged and to
17:22
stay awake. President Biden has to show
17:25
that he can stand there for an
17:27
extended period of time. Remain upright. Remain
17:43
upright. To
17:49
be president. You know, I
17:51
may be mistaken, but I believe those
17:53
are the same qualifications that needed
17:55
to be scarecrow. Tonight,
18:00
the president must show the country that
18:03
he can keep our corn safe.
18:11
But then it was time for the actual debate, and
18:13
let's see how it began. Both men
18:16
came out and, oh, yes,
18:18
okay. And then both men
18:20
are ambulatory. They are both
18:22
upright. Level
18:25
one cleared. It's
18:28
going to be an important discussion between two important
18:31
men. What are the rules? You
18:33
want to share the rules of the debate with the audience
18:35
at home. Each candidate will have
18:37
two minutes to answer a question, and
18:39
one minute each for responses and
18:42
rebuttals. What the, you, what
18:44
can you do in two minutes? I can't
18:46
even articulate what's wrong with your entire setup
18:48
to this debate. An ad break to watch
18:50
a Hulu show is three minutes. What
18:52
can you do in two minutes? But all right, well,
18:55
that's going to winnow out anything that might be interesting or
18:57
substance, but let's begin. We know the
18:59
bar that's been set up for each to pass. Biden
19:02
has to not look old and not
19:04
have a senior moment. Go.
19:07
Making sure that we're able to make
19:09
every single solitary person eligible
19:12
for what I've been able to
19:15
do with the COVID, excuse me,
19:17
with dealing with
19:19
everything we have to do with. We
19:26
finally beat Medicare. Thank
19:28
you, President Biden. Need
19:43
to call a real estate agent in New Zealand. Okay.
19:49
High pressure situation. A
19:51
lot of times you can
19:53
confuse saving Medicare with beating
19:56
it. I'm sure it's
19:58
not. something that repeated throughout the debate
20:00
causing Democrats across the country to either
20:02
jump out of windows or vomit silently
20:04
into the nearest recycling bin. Anybody
20:08
can f*** talking. How
20:15
did Biden do not talking? How
20:18
close the police are to almost every police
20:20
group in the nation from every state and
20:22
everybody wanted to get it back to the
20:25
states. Everybody and China, nothing and Russia, nothing
20:27
and India, nothing. I will have that reporter
20:29
out. He should have had him out a
20:31
long time ago because I didn't have legislation.
20:34
I said close the border. We have the
20:36
safest border in history. Not
20:50
great. But
20:53
a lot of
20:55
people have resting 25th
20:58
amendment face. I'm
21:10
not a political expert. But
21:13
while Biden was preparing at Camp David
21:16
for a week, did
21:18
anyone mention he would also be
21:20
on camera? On the split screen,
21:22
is there any moment here that
21:24
can save Biden? This
21:27
is the first presidential election since
21:29
the Supreme Court overturned Roe v.
21:31
Wade. Oh, shit,
21:33
we're back, baby. Abortion,
21:37
A to the B to the
21:39
O to the R to the
21:41
D to the repeal of Roe
21:43
v. Wade. That is Trump's weakest
21:45
issue. It's been a
21:47
great thing. Oh, he is
21:50
f***ing. He is f***ing.
21:53
It's a great thing.
21:55
Hit him, Joey. It's
21:58
been a terrible thing. What you done? It's
22:01
up there! This is awesome! We
22:05
are done here! TKL! No,
22:08
no, Joe, Joe, Joe, don't say anything else!
22:10
Joey! The idea that states are able to
22:12
do this is a little like saying, we're
22:14
gonna turn civil rights back to the states,
22:16
let each state have a different rule. Look,
22:19
there's so many young women who have been
22:21
including a young woman who just was murdered,
22:24
and he went to the funeral. The
22:27
idea that she was murdered
22:29
by an immigrant coming
22:31
in to talk about that. Did
22:45
you just immigration abortion? Hey,
22:51
I know abortion is one of our strongest issues, but
22:53
let me for a moment. Talk
22:56
about immigrants killing and raping people. It's
22:58
one of our weakest. Folks,
23:01
I think sportsmanship would insist
23:03
that an opponent not seize
23:06
on opportunities such as this.
23:09
There have been many young women
23:11
murdered by the same people he
23:13
allows to come across our border. So
23:18
how do we do this now? Do I take his car back to
23:20
the White House tonight? I mean, come on. We
23:23
done with this shit? Do I just UPS his stuff?
23:26
I mean, come on. That was crazy what he did just now. So
23:29
Biden perhaps not on top of his game. Maybe
23:32
I will check out this young upstart Donald
23:34
Trump. Obviously the election is
23:36
a binary choice. So let me see what
23:38
this Trump fella is about. As
23:40
we learned earlier, he just had to come
23:42
in there and not be an asshole. He
23:45
doesn't care about our veterans. He doesn't care. He
23:48
doesn't like the military at all. Probably the worst
23:50
administration in history. The worst presidency in the history
23:52
of our country. This shouldn't be a debate. He
23:54
is the worst president. I really don't know what
23:56
he said at the end of that sentence. I
23:58
don't think he knows what he said. He challenged
24:00
me to a golf match. He can't hit a
24:02
ball 50 yards. Does
24:09
not appear to have passed the asshole
24:12
test. See
24:15
me after debate. All
24:18
right, Trumper, what do you got on substance?
24:21
We had the greatest economy in the history of
24:23
our country. A lot of credit for the military
24:25
and no wars and so many other things. Everything
24:28
was rocking good. But the thing we never got the
24:30
credit for and we should have is getting us out
24:33
of that COVID mess. He
24:35
allowed millions of people to come in
24:37
here from prisons, jails and mental institutions.
24:39
The only jobs he created are for
24:41
illegal immigrants. We had the lowest
24:43
taxes ever. I didn't have sex with a porn
24:45
star. She
24:59
was a porn character actor
25:01
at best. I'm
25:05
not saying she couldn't open a movie. So
25:10
just so we're all clear, everything
25:13
that Donald Trump said in that clip
25:17
is a lie. Blatant
25:20
and full. And we
25:22
were tight on time putting this all
25:24
together. There's plenty more. Really
25:28
makes you wonder, what's RFK Jr.
25:30
doing tonight? Maybe he's got some... Wait, what's
25:32
that? I'm sorry. Oh,
25:35
vaccines. No,
25:38
I see. But yeah, sure, there's side
25:40
effects to all of them. Okay.
25:43
And a worm where? Okay, fair
25:45
enough. He's Vice President, Joe running,
25:47
they donated... Okay, anyway.
25:52
There was, of course, a moment where I kind of
25:54
thought we were getting substantive. I
25:57
was recently in... France
26:00
for D-Day and I
26:02
spoke all about those heroes that died. I
26:04
went to the World War II cemetery, World
26:06
War I cemetery he refused to go to.
26:09
He was standing with his four-star general
26:11
and he told me, he said, I don't want
26:13
to go in there because they're bunch of losers
26:15
and suckers. My son was not a loser, was
26:17
not a sucker. You're the sucker. You're the loser.
26:27
Shit just got real. First
26:31
of all that was a made-up quote. A
26:36
made-up quote which I think in Trump land means that's
26:38
a real quote. This
26:43
is about our nation's veterans, foreign policy. This
26:45
is important to Biden. Come on
26:47
brother. Four-star general
26:49
standing to your side was on your staff
26:51
who said you said it period. We've
26:54
done more for veterans than any president has in
26:56
American history. The only sacred obligation we have as
26:58
a country is to care for our veterans when
27:00
they come home and their families and equip them
27:03
when they go to war. That's what we're doing.
27:05
That's what the VA is doing now. They're doing
27:07
more for veterans than ever before in our history.
27:10
Alright thank you so much. Let's move to the topic
27:12
of foreign policy. Wait what? Move
27:14
on? No we don't move. Stay on that
27:16
topic not move on. No don't
27:18
go moving on. Who came up with
27:20
these dumb ass goals and why would any
27:23
of these people agree to them? The
27:25
one thing that we did prove
27:27
tonight is that the MAGA conspiracy
27:29
theory about Biden's upcoming debate performance
27:32
was nonsense. A little
27:34
before debate time he gets a shot
27:36
in the ass. They are giving the
27:39
president some sort of a stimulant, an
27:41
ADD drug, Adderall, Ritalin. New drugs that
27:43
are out there. They are specifically for
27:45
Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. A lot of caffeine
27:47
pills. V12. Debate Diagra. Well certainly there
27:50
are drugs that can be used to
27:53
energize a person in that state. I
28:02
apologize for how
28:05
fast I'm talking now. I'm
28:10
on those drugs. Let
28:23
me just say after watching tonight's
28:26
debate, both
28:35
of these men should
28:38
be using
28:40
performance enhancing
28:42
drugs. As
28:46
much of it as they can get as
28:49
many times a day as their bodies will
28:51
allow. If performance
28:53
enhancing drugs will improve their
28:55
lucidity, their ability to solve
28:58
problems, and in one of
29:00
the candidates cases, improve their
29:03
truthfulness, morality, and malignant narcissism,
29:05
then suppository away. Guess
29:07
what, everybody? They should be taken
29:10
whatever magical drugs can kick their
29:12
brains into gear. Because this ain't
29:14
Olympic swimming. You know what I'm
29:17
saying? Oh, he solved the Middle
29:19
East, but he was doping so
29:21
it doesn't count. There's
29:24
going to be an asterisk next to
29:26
his presidency. And
29:28
by the way, if those drugs
29:31
don't exist, if there aren't actually
29:33
performance enhancing drugs for these candidates,
29:35
I could sure use
29:38
some recreational ones right now.
29:41
Because this cannot
29:43
be real life. It
29:46
just can't. We're
