“I’m issuing a new executive order,” the President said, as he made his final appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart as host. “I’m issuing a new executive order that Jon Stewart cannot leave the show. It’s being challenged in the courts.”
Stewart joked, “I have to say, for me this is a states’ rights issue.”
The two discussed some of Obama’s successes as president, including the Iran deal and the president explained the power of the people over special interests and lobbyists. Stewart then managed to get in a question about the Republican’s future president, Donald Trump.
“I guarantee you, if people feel strongly about making sure that Iran doesn’t get a nuclear weapon without us going to war, and that is expressed to Congress, then people will believe in that. And the same is true on every single issue. If people are engaged, eventually the political system responds, despite the money, despite the lobbyists, it still responds,” Obama said.
“After seven years, is that the advice that you then bequeath to future president Trump?” Stewart asked in response.
“I’m sure the Republicans are enjoying Mr. Trump’s current dominance of their primary,” Obama replied.
