"No Kings" Protests Defy GOP Expectations & Jon Gives Trump a Royal Inspection | Sen. Bernie Sanders
21 Oct 2025
Jon Stewart examines the "No Kings" protests that failed to meet Fox News’s violent expectations, why Trump fits the mold of a gold-smeared monarch, and how even the Declaration of Independence foreshadowed Trump’s king-ish antics. “It’s got to be a bottom-on-up revolution, not a top-down.” Senator Bernie Sanders sits down with Jon to discuss his latest book, "Fight Oligarchy." They talk about harnessing the energy of the "No Kings" rallies to build a clear vision for the Democratic party, prioritizing universal healthcare and affordable housing expansion, how Trump has embraced some socialist policies, the danger of corporations and oligarchs regulating the government, and making AI work for working people.

You're listening to Comedy Central. From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news. This is The Daily Show with your host, Jon Stewart.
Welcome to The Daily Show, ladies and gentlemen. We've got a great show for you tonight. I don't even want to tell you this. Senator Bernard Sanders, Independent Vermont...
I swear to God, I've never seen this before. You announce a guest and a mosh pit forms. You started going on there. You're hearing that, man. If you're watching tonight's program with a billionaire, you might want to get him some headphones because it's about to get all populist up in this bitch. That's for sure. But first, it's exciting news. Believe me, I'm excited as well.
We're going to start, though, with the major news from this weekend. New York's annual Halloween dog parade results. That is not the picture we used in rehearsal. It's a great reminder each year that dogs, like humans, are capable of experiencing humiliation. Perhaps you missed this year's annual dog parade because you remained inside all weekend because you knew
if the No Kings protests would be taking place and you heard what that might be like.
We call it the hate America rally. I bet you see pro Hamas supporters. I bet you see Antifa types. I bet you see the Marxist in full display.
This crazy No Kings rally this weekend, which is going to be the farthest left, the hardest core, the most unhinged in the Democratic Party.
What the? Not the hardest core. I expected partial Marxism and hardcore, but not full display, hardest core ha-Marxism. It's going to be like Mad Max out there with Chuck Schumer on flaming guitar.
That's a real photograph. And so this weekend, we sat in our bunkers, doors locked, windows boarded, muskets and cyanide pills at the ready, prepared for whatever the hardest core had in store.
