How freaking awesome is to watch an interview, where the interviewer just doesn’t let the bullshitter get away with their bullshit, and is very constructive and surprisingly polite at the same time! This is a Masterclass in interviewing and should be studied like that:)
-
“I wasn’t prepared to have a Supreme Court argument today” This sentence really says a lot about how other interviewers have treated her. She sees asking “what doctors recommend the policy you’ve enacted” as an unfairly high bar to have to meet in an interview, but it should be the norm.
-
One of the greatest things about Jon is that he doesn't just let the people he interviews slide on their BS. He calls them out and holds them accountable. That is what is missing from the media today. A willingness to say "No, you're wrong. Your data is not data, and there is just truth and facts, and you are doing neither." I love that about him.
-
Nothing is more frustrating than seeing people like her ruining lives because she feels entitled to impose her opinions on others
-
Who in her office thought that sitting for an interview on this show was a good idea?
-
"That's an incredibly made up figure" Nicely done. He didn't go easy on her
-
The involuntary facial expressions are the best. Not just in this interview, but in so many of Jon's interviews. You can see these people absolutely squirming. This is what real journalism looks like, and we've become such a softball news culture, they're completely unprepared to face actual, meaningful pushback of this magnitude.
-
"I wasn't prepared to have a Supreme Court argument" Translation: I'm not used to being asked hard questions by journalists.
-
If knowing the name of ONE SINGLE medical organization that can back up your stance is all it takes to be "prepared for a supreme court argument", then I guess supreme court isn't all that hard?
-
There is something my dad (a seasoned litigator) taught me from a very young age. Something Jon exemplifies right here. It's the idea that you are not obligated to take someone at their word. And the idea that if someone is going to present something with confidence, they should know how to back it with confidence. The great thing about telling the truth is that you can also say where you get your truth from. I love that Jon is so good at this.
-
Thank you for standing up for us Jon, it's very heartwarming and gives me hope <3

AAG: "We have proof that gender care is harming kids!" Jon: "Okay show us this magic proof that suddenly, out of nowhere, contradicts the entire medical consensus" AAG: "I dont know it personally but it's there!"
-
"I don't have a supreme court argument" is a funny way of saying "I can't answer the most basic question I should have expected in an interview about this topic".
-
The look on her face when he responds with, "Wow! That is an incredibly made up number." That was priceless.
-
Jon’s metaphor for pediatric cancer really altered my perspective on gender-affirming care. When you realize that gender-affirming care is a serious yet life-saving matter like chemotherapy for a child dying of cancer, it entirely changes your perspective
-
My kid told me they were struggling and I busted my ass to get them help. It just turned out to be ADHD but I wouldn't stop until my baby wasn't depressed or stressed out anymore. Any good parent would bust their ass to get their children help no matter what it is. I would rather my child be alive & happy living their authentic life than dare force them to conform bc they won't and they won't make it out alive.
-
"you said you can't." "No no no no wrong. We said you can not"
-
I'm actually shocked her handlers let her engage with Stewart in the first place. They had to know he'd run intellectual circles around her and that's precisely what he did. It's mind boggling people like Rutledge attain positions of power when she's so clearly obtuse.
-
"we're not saying you can't we're saying you cannot" LOL
-
The calm and the logic behind this spoke so much. He didn't need to yell or raise his voice. That's true power.
