Jon Stewart addressed the looming government shutdown due to disagreements about Obamacare in the most eloquent way possible for a comedian to get his point across: "It's a f**king law!"
“The Daily Show” host mockingly called Obamcare "The End of America as We Know It for Reasons No One is Able to Clearly Explain,” meanwhile Republicans in keeping the government from reaching an agreement on a budget.
"You're just throwing words together," Stewart said about the Republicans who attempted to explain why the current universal health care plan is bad, saying things like it goes against the constitution but not explaining why.
Stewart throws in a comparison of Republicans to the New York Giants losing Sunday night’s game to the Kansas City Chiefs.
"Did you see the Giants game on Sunday?" he asked. "They lost 31-7. Do you know what the Giants didn't say after that game? 'If you don't give us 25 more points by midnight on Monday, we will shut down the f**king NFL.'"
Stewart then added a clip of Willy Wonka saying, "You get nothing! You lose! Good day, sir!"
The shutdown was taken into effect at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, with millions to possibly feel the effects in the next few days. According to USA Today, most of the past government shut downs lasted three days.
And in true Stewart fashion, he also drove home a counter argument to a point some Republicans were making, saying Obama would rather negotiate with Iran or Russia than them.
"You're not helping yourself. If it turns out that President Obama can make a deal with the most intransigent, hard-line, unreasonable totalitarian mullahs in the world, but not with Republicans, maybe he's not the problem,” Stewart said.
