What is Jon Stewart's take on the Super Bowl and its aftermath?

Jon Stewart 1:05
Welcome to The Daily Show. My name is Jon Stewart. And man, we worked almost all day on tonight's show. We've got a great one for you. David Remnick will be joining me later. He's the editor of The New Yorker magazine. They're celebrating. What an erudite crowd. celebrating their 100th year at the New Yorker, and he and I will be discussing the difference between umlauts and diuresis. Emphasis on the... I'll just go now. Let's just... But first, the Super Bowl was last night, and, man... Oh. It was on television. It began with the teams being introduced from heaven. And it's just weird. And it ended with the Kansas City Chiefs in hell. So congratulations to the people of Philadelphia who immediately, who immediately, I disagree by the way, who immediately celebrated their victory by attacking their own city. Killing their own city. Die, Philadelphia. They were mashing their own city, doing tens of dollars worth of damage. Yeah, that's right. I'm implying it's a shithole. Give Saquon back.
Jon Stewart 2:57
But of course, my favorite moment was the inexplicable post-victory horse race where the winner stands triumphant atop the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum. That's not Photoshop. The horse ran up the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum, reared up on its hind legs, and went, Adrian!

What proclamation did Trump make during the Super Bowl?

Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection) 3:32
here's here's and i'm gonna you know drop some knowledge no one really cared about the game because of the earth-shattering announcement that had been made moments prior you know we're flying over right now we're flying over a thing called the gulf of america and i'm signing a proclamation and perhaps you could define that
Jon Stewart 3:57
First of all, why do you fly around in a Hyatt hotel room? Second of all, define proclamation? You don't know what a proclamation... Or do you just want her to say what the actual proclamation... I'm sorry, I interrupted. Go ahead.
Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection) 4:13
This is a proclamation declaring today, February 9th, 2025, as the first ever Gulf of America Day. And we're flying right over it right now. So we thought this would be appropriate. even bigger than the Super Bowl.
Jon Stewart 4:32
It's true. Bigger than the Super Bowl. In fact, my favorite thing about Gulf of America Day are the commercials. It's very historic. I'm sure we'll look back on this day fondly when America is swallowed up by the rising waters of the Gulf of America. You know, it turns out it's kind of a weird thing. Airplanes might not be the best place to make bigger than the Super Bowl announcements. even bigger than the Super Bowl.
Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection) 4:58
This is a big thing. And almost everybody now has assented to that. First of all, oh, my God.
Jon Stewart 5:25
It shut him up, even for just a second. I think airplane pilots must be the most powerful force in the universe. I feel like the Democrats have to get themselves an airplane pilot. Sorry for the interruption, but you can't do that. Maybe they'll let Schumer. Schumer will be the pilot. But forgive me, I seem to have forgotten. What does calling it Gulf of America do? Do we get all its fish now?
Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection) 6:07
Make America great again, right? That's what we care about.

How is Trump attempting to 'Make America Great Again'?

John Oliver 6:15
Yeah!
Jon Stewart 6:17
Everything Trump does is all part of making America great again. Order one. Roll back everything from the previous not great administration. Regulations on the environment. Regulations on the Second Amendment. The Title IX guidance. And not just the big shit. You want to make America great again, you can't skimp on the details.
