Jon Stewart Stops By for Trump's Arraignment Day

a criminal courtroom on charges he broke the law. And it happened right here in New York City. Former President Trump pleads not guilty to thirty four counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments. The photograph is stark and historic as we look at it. Donald Trump, that's a man who looks like a defendant, you know, the former president. I've seen that face not many times. He's he looks somber. Look at you, Look at your ass.

Now they got your ass ain't So it's a tough crying. You spent all that money talking shit about the judge. You talk shit about the da or I'm ana marching the courtroom and I'm gonna t shut your ass. Look at look at how sad Trump looks. My man looked like somebody told him his dog diater that Mike Pence is still alive. And you can talk all the shit you won't, but I'm telling your baby to moment you in that courtroom, that ship get real. Trump's sitting there.

Trump's sitting there like, wow, y'all really gonna do this to the and he alone. Ain't none of your boys around no more. You gave them all pardons and everybody. No, you don't pardon all your partners. You gotta leave one in jails. He has somebody to talk to. And on top of all that, this this no, Trump did something. I don't know what the guilty of, but he did something. Look at that outfit first day of court. Here in

a suit that don't even fit. Why would you do that when if Paltrow showed you the cheat cold boy, you got the dress like you don't give them You got to dress for court like you on your way to someone else. Look at Gwyneth Paltrow. You can't convict me. These glasses are quart the as CARDI is that how you say it? I don't know. I can't afford nice glasses. So, as you can imagine, it was a crazy day in New York and the city was ready for anything. Barricades

were laid out, every police officer was on duty. Even Mayor Eric Adams said he might not go to the club tonight just in case y'all meet him, because you know he'd be in the club. He got to keep the phone on vibrate, but call him twice so you know it's an emergency, and the I get the NYPD. The NYPD this, they were right to set up all the bearcades. Trump supporters swarmed downtown Manhattan and filled the

streets with red, white, and blue. It was like a Puerto Rican Day parade for people who want to deport Puerto Ricans. And to the police's credit, to the police's credit, to their credit, they handled it perfectly. They kept everybody on both sides, far enough apart so nobody got hurt, but close enough so they could still roast the shit out of each other. I yes, yes, the classics. No. Nothing in an argument faster than ayo, Mama, It hit

like a ship. Mama. You lose I no matter what you said, Donald Trump is a political prisoner, unfairly talking about amal justice your mama, BITCHR. That's how I'd hit you. You bleed out your O. But it was a crazy scene downtown as Wow. And one of the people making it crazy was Marjorie Taylor Green. Marjory Taylor Green, MPTG. Swung down to the courthouse double parking broomstick and took part, took part in the festivities, and today she offered a

defense of the President that I've never heard before. President Trump is joining some of the most incredible people in history being arrested today. Um Nelson Mandela was arrested, served time in prison. Jesus, Jesus was arrested. Jesus, Jesus. That's what I'm thinking too, Like Jesus, what the hell is wrong with this lady? How you how are you going to compare Donald Trump to Jesus. First of all, Jesus

walked on moreter. Donald Trump could barely walk on land. Now, the crazy thing about all of this today is that Donald Trump didn't even have to come to New York. He could have done the whole arraignment at the crib because apparently they gave him the option to be arraigned over zoom, you know, like Nelson, Mandela and Jesus. But I get it. I completely get why Trump didn't do it over zoom. One, he'd got on Cameron able to

just found more classified documents in the background. Two, Trump wants publicity looking how he came out of Trump Tier this morning, given the black power fist, like a real political prisoner. He lives the ship like this held Trump labble to show up the court every day, dancing on top of a car like Michael Jackson out that docket. In the media, man, the media what they do, They play right along with it, given us wall to wall coverage even when there was absolutely nothing to talk about.

I will turn to you and show you He'll be coming out the side door of Trump Tower there, so there is a sense of anticipation that his movement is coming. You can see some of the traffic heading northbound there. And I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I can't remember off the top of my head. Off Fifth Avenue is one way north thank to the south, so that's not Fifth Avenue. I checked ways just before we came in and showed that that was the fastest route we expect

him to enter through us. And I think that was just Sam, John and Jillian. Did you guys just see the former president walked out? Or is that just me? It's Donald Trump right there. I'm sorry, we just saw Donald Trump over hearing some radio traffic here at any moment. Now, see the former president walked through those doors. So there are many doors into the courtroom. And it's not just this one door. There are side doors and there's a backdoor.

Photographer Reverend Shamrock Laser focused on that front door and many hallways that lead to each door. If he does go through those doors, he will come by the camera. The judge comes in a different door, a jury comes in even another door. A defendant who's incarcerated comes in a different door. The public comes in the main door. So there are many doors. Okay, okay, okay, So let

me get this straight. You're telling me the courthouse has multiple doors, and different people come through different doors, and then those doors going neck the other doors, and then those all the doors. Hey man, I'm learning so much about the legal system. Thank you Cable News. Now the doors building's got doors and ship he learned stuff. Now

here's what bothered me about today. I'll say this, Donald Trump deserves a fair trial, but I also want Trump to get the full American criminal justice experience, which is not what happened today. My man got to schedule his visit to the courthouse like Heat the cable man. Trump called the corter, Hey, listen, not be down to the jail twesday between ten and two. Just make sure you get that. Then once Trump got there, there were no handcuffs, there were no mug shots, there were no purp walks.

Well for Trump, it would be a purp waddle. But you understand, you know that doesn't make the point. My point is I'm disappointed because today shows you how humane our courts could be. So many people get dragged into this legal system, and it's humiliating. You get handcuffed, you get golf that, you wait days sometimes months for an arrayment, and then you go into a building through one of

those minute doors. You get to a room. They strip you naked, they spread your ass cheeks, They make you cough twice, which I never understood the second cough, but the first cough. I get. One cough is enough to know whether or not I got drugs in my booty. The second coffer is for you. That's wrong? Am I sharing too much? What y'all? Right? Now? I thought this was I thought I could open up to y'all. Apparently not. My point is for the sake of this country. I

hope that Donald Trump gets a swift trial. But that doesn't mean he should get to use the TSA pre check lane. But here's the good news. The New York investigation is just one of many into the former president, so we'll have plenty of other opportunities to get him arrested correctly. So Georgia got plintial opportunities. So State of Georgia, if you're listening, when you're finally getting Donald Trump in your courtroom, make sure he calls twice. Yeah, thank you

for clatinum for that man. You know that was good. But you know, I just I don't know if that's good enough to go viral. I'm trying to go viral this week. You know, it's a lot of pressure as guest host. You know, you got to be funny, you gotta be satirical, you gotta be powerful, you gotta you gotta, you know, you to go viol And I don't know what to do. I wish I just wish I had somebody that I could talk to, the god mero some of this stuff, Man Rod, use the false Roy? Who

that Roy? Use that use the false the ghost man who that Roy use the false? Use the use the false Roy Bro Roy just ve m Okay, I know you, I know you, I know you do I know him. I know you, I knew, I knew your ass. Your older one Canobi. I'm John. I'm John Stewart. I used to work here when the budget wasn't as big back. You know I actually I actually hosted a program. To be honest, The Daily Show had a white house. Why are you dressed like obi Wan Kenobi? I like to

be comfortable. Okay. By the point is this Donald Trump doesn't differ only one Cannobie. What does that make me? Because if you're Obi Wan, that make me look Skywalker. I don't want to be look Skywalker. Why wouldn't you want to be Skywalker? Look Skywalker kicks his sister. I want to be Han Solo instead. Han Solo's badass. Han Solo was cool, he had the ship. You can beat Chewbacca. Why would I Bonda being like a wolf ape that

doesn't make it. Look I think it would make more sense if I were the y sage who mentors the young host and not the wolf ape. Also, I cannot return this robe. What happened was the events that took place in this. But if you're Obi Wan, if you're Obi Wan and I'm Luken, does that mean my dad is Vader? Because if my dad is Doarth Vader, does that mean Donald Trump is my dad? Why I'm trying to find I'm trying. I know that, Roy, Why would Donald Trump be your father? Because if I'm Luke and

Trump is Vader, that means Trump killed you. What? Fine, you're Han Solo, I'm baby Yoda. Fine. The point is why didn't you be regularly about what I should have come when Silberman was here? But Tilman listen, Okay, although, okay, how about this? How about because I'm gonna go along with I'm wanna go along with you on this. Okay, how about you be Yoda because you're all hobbled and green and shit, and I'll be Lando. I'll do his reasons. I can be Lando. You know? Is this a trap? Yeah?

Because you're you both have a mustache. You must sign a chance. Yes, my point is this Royan thank you for having me on the program. The thing about and you're doing a fabulous shot by the brother. The thing about this historic indictment is that American judas time, thank you so much? Do I mean John School, John School and everybody.
