There are many Jewish comedians in America, however ever since Jon Stewart stepped down as host of The Day by day Present in 2015, they've been few and much between on late-night tv.
So maybe Stewart felt some type of obligation to handle the newest antisemitic outbursts from highly effective cultural figures just like the rapper previously often called Kanye West and former president of the US Donald Trump. The host of Apple TV+’s The Drawback with Jon Stewartused the opening portion of that present’s companion podcast on Wednesday to share his ideas on the subject, together with why he thinks “antisemitism” is the mistaken phrase to be utilizing.
“I don’t have a ton of time at present as a result of I've a Jewish media mafia assembly,” Stewart joked up high. “We’ve simply received a number of stuff to speak about when it comes to censorship and what we now have to manage. Loads of stuff has been sneaking by the cracks.”
The host started by addressing Trump’s “loopy” assertion about how “U.S. Jews must get their act collectively and respect what they've in Israel—Earlier than it's too late!” Stewart referred to as it “some of the express expressions of simply pure ‘Jews have solely loyalty to Israel,’” including, “and I don’t know that it even made the highest 10 antisemitic bullshit of the week!”
“Actually, the phrase antisemitic doesn’t even carry it anymore,” Stewart continued. “It’s simply bizarre Jew paranoia bullshit that it’s mind-blowing to me how simply it flows from individuals’s mouths and all people’s identical to, ‘Wow, that was bizarre.’”
The comic has a protracted historical past of going after Trump for making antisemitic feedback, together with when Trump accused him of rejecting his Jewish heritage by altering his title from Jonathan Leibowitz. In return, Stewart began referring to Trump as #FuckFaceVonClownstick.
From there, Stewart moved on to West, who, amongst many different outrageous statements, just lately referred to a “Jewish platform like Disney.” To which Stewart replied, “Boy, he actually doesn’t know the historical past of Disney, does he?”
“If you're Jewish, then you definately’re a part of the Jewish mafia,” Stewart continued. “However in the event you’re not, then you definately’re only a man who’s a dick to him in enterprise. However in the event you’re a Jewish man who’s a dick to him in enterprise, then it’s a part of the cabal.”
“It’s fucking wild! However a minimum of we all know now what Candace Owens says in non-public,” Stewart added of West’s new enterprise associate. “I feel it’s fairly clear that that’s the shit that’s flying round.”
Stewart then tried to grapple with somebody like West “whose work is beloved” who simply decides to begin blaming Jewish individuals for his issues. “You’re a billionaire who was married to the Kardashians,” he added. “How unhealthy have we been fucking you?”
And as for individuals who defend West by saying his latest controversies are all a part of his psychological well being struggles, Stewart stated he’s unsure what sort of drug may assist him on this case. “Jew-alax?” he joked. “I don’t know what drug you might get that might make you not imagine there’s a cabal of Jews controlling the circulation of data out of your mouth to the general public.”
