RUSH EXCERPT:

STEWART: “It’s interesting, I’ve learned — I come from a world of show business and I think if you were to take all of the arrogance and entitlement and elitism that people don’t like about Hollywood and show business and you concentrated it in one city and gave those people actual power, that’s Washington. There’s a tremendous amount of people down there doing great work with goodwill, but there is a very small concentrated group of people at the top that have lost sight of what they’re there for and how it looks to the outside world. They criticized us for saying you’re so upset that it’s an empty Congress, but this is just a subcommittee. If we knew was a subcommittee, and they said 12 out of the 14 people were there the whole time, but they weren’t very you get marked as present on the subcommittee showing up for just a minute. When Lou Alvarez was speaking, when Michael Connell was speaking, there was only six members out of 14. Seven members out of 14. That’s a failing grade and that shouldn’t happen.”
