“When you found someone of good faith, you could always get something done.” That is so encouraging and Jon’s honesty about it — and inherent optimism — is beautiful. Terrific video.

Blessings, Grace and Peace 😊

For anyone else wondering who Jon is quoting at 01:05
“The Arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice”
It’s MLK Jr.

"The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice but it does not bend from gravity. You haver to bend it. " So poetic.

0:59 “…What’s the point? The point is, is that this is a relentless fight. They always talk about, you know, the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice, but it doesn’t bend towards justice by gravity. Like, you have to bend it, and there’s a bunch of people trying to bend it back...”

Jon Stewart is one of the voices of sanity in this country.

[t.k.]

This guy deserves a medal of freedom. If the former guy had 1% of Jon's desire to serve the country, the country and the world would look quite different right now.

Every time I see Jon Stewart in the news or with a new upload anywhere, it's like a flipping breath of fresh air.

There's more money in tyranny than in democracy. The profit margin on democracy is just unacceptable. What else can they do? It's a real head scratcher.

Please keep Jon in the public forum. He is brilliant and he cares about everyone. Help him, Y<all.

It's lovely to hear something that is intellectually sound.

I love you, Jon Stewart! You are an incredible educator. Keep fighting the good fight

I haven't agreed with Jon Stewart on all things, but I still admire him. He is a "good faith" actor and it is heartening to know that he found ways to work with conservatives on some things, while putting aside their differences on other issues.

My friends who have worked in Washington have told me the same "wind up doll" stories, that it is the aides that do most of the work and the legislators are clueless on what is inside a bill half of the time. Too much lobbyist money floating around and we need to find a way to make sure the "moat" that he describes doesn't prevent the real work from getting done.

I worked in three different states (2 red, 1 blue) as nonpartisan legislative staff. It’s a nightmare to be involved in politics when you actually care about doing good.

This is the best 3-minute Civics lesson I've ever received. Jon Stewart ladies and gentlemen.

Jon Stewart is one of our greatest modern-day philosophers. Love him.

[davidrice]

😊Jon speaks the power of Truth! I support and affirm everything he said.

[dianesanborn]

Jon Stewart is the Will Rogers of our time. A humorous social commentator and speaks to the soul of America and what it should be. What a treasure!

[infinitedonuts]

This man could easily be president if he wanted to.

"the arc of morality doesn't bend towards justice by gravity, you have to bend it" 👏👏👏
