Jon Stewart: ‘Let’s Stop Pretending that a Corporation Can Even Be Woke or Unwoke’

RUSH EXCERPT:

STEWART: “There is nothing corporations do that is not in service of their bottom line. Even when you go to the checkout at the grocery store and the little card reader thing says, “you want to round up to help feed some children?” Well, the first thing I think is, “you’re the one with all the food, [bleep], why don’t you round some of that up?” And then they got the balls to put out a press release talking about how much money they donated to stop world hunger. That’s my money! You tell those kids that’s my money! Let’s stop pretending that a corporation can even be woke or unwoke, or patriotic or unpatriotic. Let’s just let corporations live their truth as the profit-seeking Patrick bateman psychopaths they are. At the very least, we might finally — [Cheers and applause] We might finally get some honesty from them as well.”
