I dont hear conversations like this in mainstream news networks. I'm glad he's back.

[thegazetteyt]

Her whole tone is "This is the system that we live in, and it is what it is."

[rhettheath]

It is excruciating to watch. I can’t believe Jon Stewart was actually sitting through it as calmly as he was. Kudos to him - and to the editors of the piece.

[bennettray]

I like how John Stewart is using his retirement to go after corruption at the fed and wall street. Epic.

[alumpyhorse]

glad to see Jon holding feet to the fire. It’s such a necessary break from sensationalism.

[erichanson]

Yellen: "I think there's a lot of truth in what you're saying..."

honest, plain English translation: "Hold on, I need a moment to gather my corporate lobbyist-provided talking points..."

[Limitless_One]

I'm loving how he confronts these people with logical reasoning to point out the unbalanced system that we live in.

[MrKaNuke]

The biggest problem in American society is when will we all stop and say “Working at Walmart is as fine a career as an electrician or a postman or a software engineer?” We cannot just continue to write off jobs as “career-less”. A shoe shiner was a career in the 1930s. People called them by their name when they walked by them on the street. Where did that go?

[draneym]

The sad part is 95% of this country agrees with what he's saying, and then they'll go out and vote for the exact opposite.

[jimr]

Thank you Jon, thank you. I've been talking about Walmarts double dipping subsidies for years. It's insanity.

[michaelrusch]

I’m so glad we have someone like John Stewart

[hughquigley]

Awesome interview. John Stewart is asking the questions that regular people want asked.

[reginaldworthington]

So here’s a question - why does a comedian have to rise to the height of his profession in order to gain the status necessary to get out and do the job that any run-of-the-mill journalist should be doing as part of their regular beat?

[redfin]

I like how when a large corporation is going to go out of business they get a bailout but if a normal person loses their house, they are just homeless. I love that Jon is back. I wish this wasn't behind Apple streaming bc this shit needs to be seen by everyone. No other person talks like this on TV. Why do we need to invest in their workers? Why doesn't Walmart invest into their people?

[jorgeguerra]

I can't believe this is what our politicians sound like. How can people not feel sick to their stomach listening to this lady.

[JuanRivera-wmum]

Excellent research and presentation. Thank you.

[wj]

It's like watching an adult confront his parents about something that happened during his childhood only to have mom sidestep the issue altogether...because she knows things should have gone better but also that her whole identity rests on the illusion that things were done the best they could have possibly been. So unsettling.

[vincentd]

Jon's restraint at Yellen's word salad circular logic is something to behold.

[naniblue]

I wish you would run for president, Jon Stewart!

[noahpaul]

Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes and had a salary of $400, 000. I paid almost $26, 000 and had an income of $140, 000. Now one year after I filed my taxes a got a letter from the IRS saying I made a mistake and owe an additional $6, 143. So, yeah, the system is definitely looking out for the working class, calloused hand workers.
