Libertarian Says What? with Nick Gillespie
Did we ever get that definition of libertarianism?
The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Libertarian Says What? with Nick Gillespie
I was really listening for it.
The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Libertarian Says What? with Nick Gillespie
I think something that really stood out was just while Jillian and I looking into this episode, just how diverse libertarians are. And I think a good example of that is the fact that some people feel RFK is within the libertarian camp. And most libertarians also think that Ross Ulbricht is in the camp.

Libertarian Says What? with Nick Gillespie
So one person, you know, for legalizing drugs and the other for banning like red dye number three, you know? Yeah.

Come Back, America! with Rory Stewart
I'm sure he'll love that impression.

Come Back, America! with Rory Stewart
I guess there's not too much sun damage in the UK to be done.

Come Back, America! with Rory Stewart
I know looking into this episode, something that really sat with me was the European Commission chief's comments. I'm currently having countless talks with heads of state and government around the world who want to work together with us on the new order. Everyone is asking for more trade with Europe. And it's not just about economic ties. You know, Lord, it's different time now.

Come Back, America! with Rory Stewart
We did it, guys. We're like the Spider-Man meme.
The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Come Back, America! with Rory Stewart
I think I have some bad news because I was reading that one of the reasons he's claiming he's leaving government is the nasty and unethical attacks from the left. So that might be why. Oh. You're on read.
The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Come Back, America! with Rory Stewart
Yeah. I mean, I was a working journalist who didn't go to J school, so I might be a bit biased.

Come Back, America! with Rory Stewart
But I will say that with the changing media landscape, I would just urge people who do invest in a program to make sure it's forward thinking and thinking about the new technologies and the ways you make a living now as a working journalist, how to be a freelancer, those more practical forward thinking things.

America's Factory Reset with Adam Tooze and Sohrab Ahmari
Well, something that you all were talking about that really resonated with me was just the lack of vision for all of these policies. And it reminded me of the MAGA motto, which you never really determined when we were trying to revert America back to. And it's kind of the same with this economic vision.

America's Factory Reset with Adam Tooze and Sohrab Ahmari
And something that we were looking into prior to this conversation was just all the justifications Trump has given for the tariffs. And it goes from to balance trade and spur US manufacturing, to stop illegal immigration, to stop the flow of fentanyl, to balance the budget. How can it be all of these things? What is the actual vision?

America's Factory Reset with Adam Tooze and Sohrab Ahmari
Take me there. That's exactly why I can't get a pet because I'll never go anywhere again. You won't.

America's Factory Reset with Adam Tooze and Sohrab Ahmari
I know. I was going to say, I feel like you have a fear of not having canceled. You would definitely like to be at home.

America's Factory Reset with Adam Tooze and Sohrab Ahmari
You can always call them, but I don't think you are taking into consideration necessarily how many people you talk to. You talk to a lot of people.

You need to recharge.

Tariff-ying Times with Pete Buttigieg
Yeah, I wonder what someone like him does with so much free time. Yeah, he's got to find something to do, right?
The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Tariff-ying Times with Pete Buttigieg
I mean, 9-11 I think was the moment. Feels pretty tumultuous.
The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Tariff-ying Times with Pete Buttigieg
I think like just – Branching off Jillian's point, 9-11 I think became political for me because it wasn't explained in the same way Brittany is describing. Like we were maybe too young. And so I was watching the news with my family every night. And that was the switch. That was like, I need to know what this was. Yeah.

Confronting the Chaos with Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)
All right.
The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Confronting the Chaos with Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)
I didn't go in so confident, so I'm more confident now. And the reason why, I wanted to give a little snippet of why I wasn't very confident. So in preparation for this conversation, been looking at what the Democrats have been discussing as their strategy.
The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Confronting the Chaos with Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)
And one thing I noticed that Dems have been using, and I don't know baseball very well, but this seems contradictory, which is that Jeffries has been out there saying that Aaron Judge is his favorite because he does not swing at every pitch, right?
The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Confronting the Chaos with Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)
Yet Chris Murphy of Connecticut says, right now you have to swing at every pitch. Uh-oh. So it seems like there might be some disagreement among Democrats right now about the strategy.
