During a recent episode of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart showed a clip of Republican lawmakers celebrating the "One, Big, Beautiful Bill" being passed, but the comedian highlighted how it will cut government assistance programs, such as Medicaid and SNAP.
"I'm sorry. That was the party they had for the Epstein List not being released," Stewart said while showing the lawmakers being enthusiastic about the spending budget.
"There was no list. There never was a list," Stewart said while mimicking a Star Wars Jedi mind trick.

Jon Stewart called the "One, Big, Beautiful Bill" an example of "Democratic fecklessness."
"They were utterly powerless to stop this turd of a bill, which makes them look terrible," Stewart shared.
"Are you trying to suck?" the host bluntly asked. "Is that what this is? That's your move?"

Donald Trump has quickly accomplished his goals for the presidency in a short period.
"It surprisingly got through like every other f****** thing Trump has wanted, from Qatari jet bribes to Epstein file secrecy to extorted media conglomerate protection money," Jon Stewart said, as the president continues to make controversial decisions without much pushback.
Stewart pointed out how Trump's allies "managed to severely cut [America's] safety net and expand the deficit."

Donald Trump created DOGE to help detect government "waste," but many of the programs that have been cut help America's most vulnerable populations.
"It's this lazy, bull**** narrative that our finances are screwed because of how comfortable we have made it for the poor," Jon Stewart said while appearing angry about the outcome.
"The problem in our country isn't the sliver of able-bodied people that are somehow coasting on the unearned medical coverage they may or may not use, but the millions and millions of people in this country who work f*** full-time jobs and still need food and medical assistance," he noted. "That's the system that's broken. Fix that system!"

"Somehow, it is fiscally irresponsible to build a stronger floor for everyone to stand on if it may, in any way, lower the already astronomical ceiling height experienced by the rare few," Jon Stewart continued. "This bill is the most f***** up performance review our country could ever deliver."

Jon Stewart didn't ignore the wealth imbalance that Donald Trump could create, as he gets to enjoy his lavish lifestyle while millions of Americans risk losing their social services.
"What if I gave you a tax deduction for taking a private jet to your private jet?" Stewart's Uncle Sam character asked. "If time permits, perhaps we could take it to that non-existent island I've heard so much about?"
