Stewart: How Is Bundy a Hero for Ignoring Federal Law?

STEWART: "To scare him away -- ping! ping! How is this guy Bundy a hero -- how is this guy Bundy a hero for ignoring federal law and what is the justification?"

BUNDY [CLIP]: "I abide by all Nevada state laws, but I don't recognize the federal government as even existing."

STEWART: "I am as against overreach as the next guy. But I don't think the federal government is overreaching by saying it exists. But this guy, 'heck, I'm just a simple fellow, what some folks would call a Cartesian -- follower of Renee Descartes -- and without immediate sensory proof, how am I supposed to take government as a prima facie assumption? [censored] what if we're all just brains in a jar? I've got to pay you for grazing my imaginary brain jar cattle? I mean, who do you take me for, [censored] John Locke?' Ping! Ping! Ping! Right now, somewhere, a junior philosophy major just [censored] in his pants."
