Jon Stewart on the GOP's hypocrisy when it comes to natural disasters in red versus blue states

60% of CA forest land is under Federal Land Management.

So much for the US being a Christian nation, and the GOP the Christian party. <-- that one always gags me

This is the most pathetic clip I've ever seen 💀

When a person loses their shame and embarrassment, we get videos like this.

Most forests are federal land

This doesn’t even make any sense🤔🤔🤔

Blue states got themselves into the mess they are in because of horrible policies. You can’t help people who create disaster on a daily basis. If you keep buying alcohol for an alcoholic, you are an enabler. The Democrats have done nothing to help their states become better. Nothing to stop violence, nothing to help their homeless. All you have left is to attack Trump, because there are no other selling points for your stubbornness !

Blue States give their Federal Tax dollars to the care and support of red states. Did they forget?

Forestry Management? LA is not a forest. Could only be another red state undereducated congressman.

I live in Montana and have loved hiking and camping ever since I was a kid. I was always taught to leave a site cleaner than I found it. Now, the magas have invaded even the most pristine areas with their SUVs, power boats, and gargantuan motor homes complete with air conditioning and huge external speakers. They let their kids and dogs run wild and party like its Spring Break in the Rockies. You can tell a lot about a person's character by the way they treat nature, as well as their neighbors...

More sophistry from the Manhattan multimillionaire, a man whose hands are as soft as a king's, whose most natural environment is far away from any forest and whose socialist sympathies extend only to redistributing other people's money, not his own. Leibowitz talks with supercilious arrogance about subjects and peoples with which his acquaintance and understanding is minimal at best. Not funny, not particularly intelligent, not impressive, not worth anybody's time.

Sadly, I live in Ohio a red state. Not my fault. Just a bunch of idiots live in Ohio.

Jon knocking on forestry management is unfortunate. Tree things, fire breaks, controlled burns and so much more are all things that can help prevent out of control wild fires.

Not to mention forestry management has a huge positive impact on carbon emissions. Forest fires are a huge source of carbon emissions. Forests that are managed also grow quicker sequestering more carbon than an unmanaged forest.

Sure knock on them for not wanting to send aid, but don't knock legitimate solutions to problems.

Critical misunderstanding of controlled burnings

Blue states need to stop those handouts to the federal government.

How is it lawful to quid pro quo disaster aid? And who are the attorneys advising them they can do such a thing?

Let's see what happens to flooded Kansas.

It's pathetic isn't it .

You can tell he doesn't know sh@t about forestry

It's sad to see Stewart going the Colbert path....

Democrats are done helping Republicans u are on your own from now on

Would be easy to get some ecologists' statement.
But president moronface doesn't "believe in science". What a travesty...

Ah, nobody says that. Florida, North Carolina ect are what you’re talking about, and they do what they can when a hurricane strikes. California is a little different, you can do some things that can help prevent wildfires, but I guess it’s an interesting opinion? Glad you stopped talking about “The Party”btw, it shows, remember what happened last time. Careful about being balanced Jon, it’s not what they pay you to do, tsk tsk.

Let see what DOGE digging out whole federal finance situation 😊😊😊 then you are the next 😊

What does GOP stand for: Grand Oligarchs Party?

Wait, the California wildfires were started by the Keebler Elves' ovens? 🤯 /s

John Stewart 2028 plz

GOP makes me puke.

The douchery that flows from this petulant child's mouth is unsurpassed.

Anyone who shuts down an Elf cookie factory tree should receive a ruling of life in prison and be forced to eat soggy stale cinnamon graham crackers

Trumpers truly are dumb

Is this where I point out that the Biden Administration officials had FEMA personnel actively ignore and skip houses where "they believed a Trump voter lived?"

Legitimately, when was the last time that a Republican government actively restricted emergency assistance due to political affiliation? I would genuinely like a date, if you please.

This is funny, because under Trump, they fired over 4,000 federal employees that take care of national parks and forests.

States need to keep their federal taxes for themselves and not even send to Washington, D.C.

Perhaps California should suggest Florida build a wall to keep the hurricanes out ??? (Sarcasm detected 😂)

T actually said, after the 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise, Ca, that we should have swept the forest floor like they do in Finland🎉

Exactly right, Jon.

I believe California’s forests are 2%, maybe 4% of the forests in the State. THE REST ARE ON FEDERAL LAND !!!
Maybe we need to get DJTJ and Eric out there to rake !!!!!

Your country is so f up!

Interesting to see what happens in red states after the recent devastating fires in the south east! Bunch of frigging hypocrites

Texas had a huge firestorm fire a while back.

NC is red and F.E.M.A.'s forgotten us.

The fact that they are FEDERAL MANAGED LANDS is lost on MAGA dolts.

"The federal government manages approximately 640 million acres of land in the United States, with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) managing the largest portion, followed by the Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and National Park Service"

You nailed it!

🙄👆💯❤

The wealthiest 1% has extracted $79 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans since 1975. In 2023 alone, $3.9 trillion was redirected upward—enough to provide every U.S. worker with a $32,000 raise.

Fun fact... bear $#!+ looks like used trail mix...

so true, i came from a red family, my family is loony toons, im the only rational one.

Thanks to fat Donald, Republicans can now be victims and elitists at the same time 🖕

Red states are welfare states. Without blue states help. They'd be indeep "You know what."
