For over a decade, Jon Stewart helped America make sense of its dysfunctional political system as the host of “The Daily Show.”

He had an uncanny ability to balance side-splitting humor with insightful, and often inspiring, monologues on the state of this country.

Given the eccentric, and in many ways unsettling, nature of the current presidential race, a lot of people are really missing having Stewart as the host of the show, as Trevor Noah took over in September 2015.

Noah is doing a good job, and other comedians like John Oliver, Larry Wilmore and Samantha Bee are offering their own blend of politics, news and humor on other programs. But things just aren’t quite the same without Stewart.

This is why a lot of people were pretty excited when he spoke with David Axelrod at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics on Monday, offering some of his views on the election.

1. The media is cautious about deviating from its narrative

They like politics when it resembles television's prime time line-up. Safe, predictable, easy to write about. Mustn't confuse the viewers by going off script. A lot of money is riding on Trump vs. Clinton going just the right way. How they have it now requires little investment in journalism. People tune in, they blather, profit.

That Sanders is frightening the billionaire owners of this news oligarchy is another story.

2. That was a really good interview

And like John, I hope at some level Hillary is hesitating because all of this is too much and too evil for the person she really is underneath.

She still signs on the dotted line after 7 seconds though.

3. The M$M wants Trump to be the POTUS.

They've made it quite obvious.

4. K & R

5. No surprise. The plutocrats, who own the media, selected H. Clinton as the nominee four years ago.

6. Inauthentic.... perfect description of HRC

One doesn't know what she stands for or what she believes because she will SAY ANYTHING to get what she wants. It just depends on to whom she is speaking at the time she says it.
