Jon asks the question many Americans have wrestled with since January 6: If the system couldn't hold a president accountable for trying to overturn an election, what does that say about our democracy? Jack Smith and Brian Driscoll weigh in. #theweeklyshow #jonstewart #politics

Yes the system failed. By letting trump escape the hard work vs Jan 6th anarchists was wiped away by trump. And he gave them an avenue to be compensated also. Absolutely a jumped the shark moment.

The only reason I ended up at the Capitol on J6 is because Trump lied about the election being stolen! Trump recently claimed he has proof that the election was stolen, then I should bring a lawsuit for the damages I suffered and let him bring the discovery!

The circumstances surrounding 1/6 are irrefutable. Please explain how a democracy can possibly work when there are no consequences to any of the participants in that insurrection.

Where's Merrick? He failed the country and its founding principles. Could've been a hero. Instead, he turned away, took a coward's way out, and put the country at "Threat Level Midnight."

I have faith in people like Jack and Brian! Great to hear them on your show.

Jack and Brian are truly patriots. I admire them both for their sense of serving and their integrity.

What a BS answer from Jack Smith? This BS of not holding people like Merrick Garland accountable for his failings is why USA got into this mess. Biden, and Obama didn't prosecute war crimes committed by Bush regime, they kept Guantanamo Bay open with the same attitude.

I cant wait. 30 years from now we'll still be talking about Jan 6th like it was the bloodiest massacre in history. So dumb

Better watch the J6 actual body cam footage dumbass! Keep making a complete ass of yourself trying to sell democrat propaganda

Yes. Ringleaders. Seem like we went for the street dealers and not the supplier of the drug of corruption

John you are amazingly talented. Never stop making people laugh 🙂

Lol yeah like this fucking guy is just a far left attack and everybody knows it. Borders men and women sports you know the usual bullshit. The guy is so fucking overrated it’s comical.

Major signs of a CIA led color revolution with undercover FBI acting as agitators. My position has changed with the new evidence which has come to light. I used to be a never Trumper and now see the communist DNC as the enemy within.

He has immunity *within his constitutionally determined authority* ya dummy

They had no weapons dickhead. It was a fed op and a few hundred idiots behaved badly and were punished severely for it.

Jack's case rightly focused on Trump's 'find me votes' call/not 'inciting violence' ~ Dems & media confused it for voters b/c they kept accusing Trump of 'inciting violence' which is virtually unprovable/protected by 1st Amend & could also apply to Dems

Jon must not understand how and why the 1st Amendment was set up for . It was created to petition the government (Jan. 6) without retaliation from the Government. Oopsie ... Holding a University hostage because of your emotional disorders ,support for terrorism isn't covered

CAN’T or WON’T

Bravo Jon, you asked the right question, in the first 2 minutes. Thank you!

If the election was fraudulent to begin with, how can it be overturned?

Another asshole with January 6 still living in his head, but no outraged about the summer of love for four fucking months analyzing a criminal and a drug addict

I have a question. They arraigned David Hearn today regarding the bullshit accusation Donald made about the reflection pool. The government’s narrative is: "The pool was intentionally damaged by a person who cut the liner.” But the verified facts show: A. There is no independent evidence of sabotage No inspector report No Park Service confirmation No contractor statement No photos of cuts No witness No timeline that makes sense Only Trump and Burgum claimed there were “cuts.” B. The motorcade drive‑through is documented Video exists Photos exist It happened after painting and sealing It happened before refilling Tire marks were visible on the fresh coating This is real evidence, not a political claim. C. The damage pattern matches curing failure — not knife cuts The peeling looked like an adhesion failure The liner floated up in sheets, not slashes The damage was random, not linear That’s exactly what happens when: A coating is stressed before curing Heavy vehicles drive over it The sealant fails under pressure D. No report describes anyone entering the pool To cut the liner, someone would have had to: Enter the pool avoid cameras avoid workers Cut underwater material Leave without being seen. How is it possible that an Olympic gold medalist could be accused of sabotage for putting his arm in the pool and causing all that damage, knowing that dumb-ass had his motorcade do a drive-through?

This entire show was excellent!!!!

It’s good to see Smith smoothing himself in into actual fight. U go, dude! 🤣

Democratic politicians are a threat to the United States and its citizenry.

Read the Mark Pomerantz book “People vs Donald Trump.”When you broadcast a show it’s a good idea to come prepared with the facts and a timeline.

This is great!

If you found out that the 2020 election was actually stolen from Trump supporters, would it change your opinions? That election was changed based on 44k votes across 3 swing states which had massive amounts of election fraud reported by its citizens. Comes down to 3 or 4 corrupt precincts needing to pull fake ballots out of their asses. After all the different types of fraud that’s been uncovered, it shouldn’t sound that crazy by now for anyone who’s been paying attention.

Hahahahaha real patriots 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Thomas_Drake1 If the system couldn’t stop the machine from stealing the election in 2020 what kind of a democracy do we have. Nobody with a functioning brain thinks 2020 was legit. Except for the cult that is leftist ideology of course.

No way he’s still oblivious about the truth behind January 6th right?? Guess some people refuse to allow the truth to ruin their argument. It’s like staying mad at your kid for losing your keys even after you found em in your jacket pocket lol
