Jon Stewart discusses the eclipse and the different responses it has generated, with some people excited and others resentful. Correspondents Grace Kuhlenschmidt and Ronny Chieng share their contrasting views on the eclipse.
We’re living in weird times. Earthquakes in New Jersey, rain in Los Angeles, and a total eclipse that managed to tear Americans away from their precious advertisements for an hour. It would have been a beautiful day if not for the four minutes of total blackout and members of the news media and politicians weaponizing the eclipse to discuss immigration and the will of God . Like we said, weird times.
Stewart allowed Israel’s war in Gaza to orbit in front of the eclipse, focusing on the two types of responses the United States offers countries being attacked by their neighbors. Comparing the action taken in Ukraine to the lack of action in Gaza, Stewart draws a line between the two wars. As The Daily Show’s handy montage lays out, the American government has spent years decrying the horrors in Ukraine, offering aid and support, but can only muster a sheepish “we’ll look into that” for Gaza.
