During Monday's episode from The Daily Show, Jon Stewart hit his hand in his coffee mug, as a result of which he accidentally cut himself after unloading a fiery anger at the Ministry of Government Efficiency of Elon Musk.
Stewart expressed his indignation about doge's sloping line and burned jobs within the federal government.
'Cutting money should not be that difficult. I am starting to think that we as a country do not understand where the real waste, fraud and abuse in our system is real, “Stewart started.
Doge says that it has saved the most money by reducing the expenditure and personnel assignments at the Department of Education and the General Services Administration, an agency that manages and supports other federal departments.
Steep cuts were also made at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which provided a tool for food and disease management abroad all over the world before it was dismantled by Musk and President Donald Trump.
Doge says it has saved $ 65 billion so far, but Stewart identified things to cut that he said it could save the US even more money, including subsidies to already profitable oil and gas companies and the supported interest rates that the tax burden Managers lowers for Hedgefonds.
“What about stopping the $ 2 trillion that we have given to defense contractors to build a fighter jet – but everyone knows that the next war will be fought with drones and blockchain, whatever that is,” said Stewart, referring to the American army that of the US Army Troubled F-35 JET program. “I can't believe it – I just saved billions of dollars in 11 seconds.”
Unexpectedly, it was the efforts of President Joe Biden to lower the price of 10 drugs for people on Medicare, so Stewart eventually lost it and destroyed his mug.
Jon Stewart is shown that his mug was demolished at the start of the Daily Show on Monday. His breaking point was finally reached when he started talking about persistent high drug prices in the United States
“I'm going to the hospital soon,” he said chuckling before moving his wounded palm under his desk
Prior to his tirade about drug prices, Stewart stopped against Elon Musk and his Ministry of Government Efficiency because he does not go after what he believes that it is true waste, fraud and abuse
'Pharmaceutical companies get everything from our government – tax benefits, research grants, patent extensions – with a value of billions of dollars. And what do we, the people, get before? The highest drug prices in the western hemisphere, “he said.
'But do you know what is so terrible about our system, and the corruption that has been put in it? We are so numb that we actually adjust small cracks in that exploitation as a victory, “he added.
Bides who lower the price of medicines for blood clots, diabetes, blood cancer, Crohn's disease and more, is what Stewart is defined as the 'small cracks' in the general health care system.
“Can it be? The companies that we subsidize with billions of dollars make us the privilege of negotiating about the price of 10 of their drugs? “Stewart said.
'It would be embarrassing if it was a small drop in the bucket, and that the American people did not expect that we should negotiate all their F *** ING drugs, because we have already paid for it with our subsidies! “He cried and brought his hand to the mug and shattered.
“Come on!” He shouted before he looked at his hand and realized that he had cut himself.
“I'm going to the hospital soon,” he said chuckling before moving his wounded palm under his desk.
Stewart kept his hand out of sight for the rest of the segment, and only lifted it once and exposed the audience to the bloody view. When they gasped, he assured them, “It's fine!”
