What does Jon Stewart think about the Democratic Party's current state?
Hey, folks, I just want to let you know your prayers have been answered. You remember, everybody's in L.A. I actually was lucky enough to participate in it. It's back. Everybody's live with John Mulaney. Coming to Netflix again. Mulaney, who's just so funny. And tall, that's the part I don't really care for, the tall part, but so funny. If you've never seen it, it's just the most, I think, creative and spontaneous. The guests, the fan calls in. There was a robot thing that scared the hell out of me the last time. You just don't know what's going to happen. If you want something you haven't seen before, a fresh take on Late Night Talk. And listen, who knows stale late night talk better than me, the man who invented it?
This is your show. Check it out. It's fantastic. Tune in weekly at 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Everybody's live with John Mulaney, now playing only on Netflix. Ladies and gentlemen, once again, welcome to the weekly show podcast. My name is John Stewart. That was as welcoming and open as I could possibly muster. We are shooting, this is the Tuesday after the Super Bowl. I don't know when this is going to be airing in your earphones. God knows how much the world is going to change between the time that we are talking right now and recording it and the time that you are going to be absorbing and consuming it. But coming off the Super Bowl, I had this feeling How do I draw the parallels between the game we saw, the things that we saw during the Super Bowl and the current moment? Isn't that clever to draw a line between the Super Bowl and our current moment and what the Democrats are? And I'll say this. I am a Giants fan, New York football Giants. And the New York football Giants have experienced a really interesting year in that we kind of sucked.
and shit the bed a bit. And when I say we, I don't mean we, I mean they, but I'm a fan. So I'm going to throw myself into the mix. We won three games. Decisions that we made were terrible, but there was one decision in particular, which was the letting go of a running back by the name of Saquon Barkley. And Saquon Barkley is a unbelievable, not just talent athletically, but as a human being to really the kind of, undefinable aspects of his personality that make him an incredible teammate and an incredible leader. And the Giants were recorded over the summer saying, yeah, we're not going to pay that guy. Why would we pay that guy? The most talented running back and human ever maybe to have graced this locker room. No, he's out. And the owner of the Giants said, well, as long as he doesn't go to the Eagles. Well, guess what? He went to the Eagles. It was the personnel decision equivalent of the butt fumble, which is the famous New York Jets, Mark Sanchez running into the ass of his own offensive lineman and losing a fumble.
And the reason I bring it up is, boy... to the giants feel like the Democratic Party in that the personnel decisions that they're, everything that they are doing could not work out more humiliatingly And continues to do so. And I don't know what kind of a draft pick the Democrats are going to get this year. I don't even know if there's a draft lottery in politics or any of those kinds of things. But boy, they better clean their shit up if they want to compete. Because the ass kicking that's been laid upon them in all aspects sometimes feels like a permanent state. But damn, hope springs eternal. So who knows? Maybe the... the Democrats draft their Shador Sanders or their, I don't know, this is probably too sporty for everybody who even listens to this.
But more importantly, we are going to get to discussions about the Democratic Party with someone who is well-versed in all aspects of it, having served as a White House press secretary, having served in the Obama administration, having worked at the State Department. So we're just going to get to our guest today. We're going to break down what we believe are the positives and negatives, what can be done for this New York football Democratic Party. Let's just get to it. And so getting right to it, delighted to be joined today, host of MSNBC's Inside with Jen Psaki and the new MSNBC podcast, The Blueprint with Jen Psaki, former White House press secretary under Joseph Robinette Biden, and joins us now, Jen Psaki.
