Jon Stewart’s emotional appeal

On the show, Stewart said, “Here’s what we know: We really don’t know anything and we’re going to come out of this election.” We’re going to make all sorts of statements about what this country is and what this world is, and the truth is we don’t really give a shit will know,” as reported by Variety.

He continued: “We will give the impression that this is the finality of our civilization.”…We all have to wake up tomorrow morning and work like hell to get the world where we want it to be.”

The comedian added: “And I just want to point out for perspective that the lessons that our experts will draw from these results and that they will certainly proclaim will be wrong. And we have to remember that.”

A series of clips followed highlighting how some predictions about America’s future may change.
