Jon Stewart To President Obama: Act Quickly If You’re Going ‘To Take Away Americans’ Guns’


The thing is, Jon Stewart is not joking.

During the July 21 airing of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, host Jon Stewart told President Barack Obama he needs to act quickly if he’s going to “take away Americans’ guns and declare martial law.”
Obama walked out to sit beside Stewart amid rousing rounds of applause. The two exchanged niceties amid laughter, with Stewart pointing out Obama has “about a year” left in office and Obama responded by saying he is going to issue an executive order forbidding Stewart from leaving The Daily Show. (Stewart previously announced he is leaving the show in August.)
According to Deadline, Stewart then began making observations and asking questions based on Obama’s limited time in office.
Stewart said, ““You don’t have that much time to take away Americans’ guns [and] declare martial law… if you’re going to do that, you better get started.” The audience chuckled and Stewart added, “There’s an ebb and flow to every administration, to every president. It appears that you’re feeling it right now.” Stewart then suggested the “deal with Iran” is proof.
