00:06 Jon Stewart is back on The Daily Show and didn't waste any time ripping into Donald
00:10 Trump and Joe Biden, calling it "indecision 2024, electile dysfunction."
00:15 Stewart effortlessly slipped back into his host role on the late-night talk show, arguing
00:20 age-related issues are plaguing the 2024 election.
00:23 "They are the oldest people ever to run for president, breaking by only four years the
00:30 record that they set!"
00:33 Stewart mocked Biden's disastrous Friday press conference attempt to assure Americans
00:37 that he was still up to the task of the world's most important job.
00:40 "The conduct of the response in the Gaza Strip.
00:58 Garbanzo."
01:01 Stewart played a clip of Vice President Kamala Harris assuring that in closed-door meetings,
01:06 Biden is on his game.
01:07 "If you're telling us behind the scenes he is sharp and full of energy and on top of
01:10 it and really in control and leading, you should film that.
01:15 That would be good to show to people."
01:18 Stewart also noted special counsel Robert Herz's report that exonerated President Biden
01:22 on the matter of mishandling classified documents, which also described him as an elderly man
01:27 with a poor memory.
01:28 "The footage of the president unable to recall simple facts must have been brutal to watch."
01:36 "I don't remember the names.
01:37 I don't remember the names."
01:38 "I don't remember the names.
01:39 I don't remember the names."
01:40 Stewart naturally did not suggest this meant both candidates were equally flawed overall
01:44 and quickly ran down his specific concerns about Trump.
01:47 "What the f--- are we doing here, people?"
01:51 He added of his critique of Biden, "The stakes of this election don't make Donald Trump's
01:55 opponent less subject to scrutiny.
01:57 It actually makes him more subject to scrutiny."
01:59 "If the barbarians are at the gate, you want Conan standing on the ramparts, not chocolate
02:06 chip cookie guy."
