It's, you know, back in the 80s, there weren't a lot of food options in Times Square. It was either Familia Pizza or Scarfing down some edible underwear from one of the porn shops. And then Giuliani took that option away. You know, Donald, I don't want to say anything, but if you're taking an esteemed visitor to get real New York pizza, familias ain't it. Dinner was great.

And Governor Pallon, by the way, no disrespect to you. You're a guest in our city, we should offer you the finest that our hospitality has to offer you. I just would have thought Captain Comover could have pulled that one off. I mean for fuck sake it's New York City. I mean I hate to I hate to use this term this close to ground zero but we're a bit of a pizza mecca. I mean you know you got you you got Lombardy's. Honestly, Lombardy.

With all due respect, you stack slices of pizza the steam from the bottom of the slice is going to make the top crust, you piece of shit, maybe all those years, all those years, all those years, making your hair do whatever it is that it does, you think

But you invite an important visitor to our house, to our town, and eat your pizza with
Starting point is 00:07:18 a fork right in front of us. Who the fuck do you think you're... You know what? Hey, why don't you take a Fiorella LaGuardia's hat and feed it to Joe DiMaggio's crying ghost on Liberty Island, you son of a bitch? You son of a bitch! Watch and learn for God's sakes.

Starting point is 00:08:05 You have the other hand free. You put a little parmesan, a little ragno, a little red pepper. Maybe you can point in your friend and go, it's a try and you're nice. Maybe you're a guy you know what you're going to go, hey, you're tak. All right, they're very nice. Or maybe you just use your other hand to take an irresponsible amount of abdance. Dab it on there. And maybe a few minutes later, you just throw him the fuck out. You just throw them out. Or you leave them on the table and go, you want a tip here?
Starting point is 00:08:29 You fucking tip? What do I look like a fucking busboy? No, this is fact. Actually, I was a busboy. My point is you a story. I'm going to tell you a story. I'm going to tell you a story, Donald Trump. My grandparents immigrated to this country. My grandfather worked as a taxi driver in Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:08:58 My other grandfather worked as a dry cleaner in Washington Heights. I do not come from successful stock. But every day they worked their fingers at a bone, to the bone, because it was their dream that someday their grandson could afford some DVDs of all of Robert De Niro's movies. So that he could, little Jewish boy of Latvian, Lithuanian, and Mongolian blood, could one day, one day, God willing, uh, pretend to be Italian on television. And now, you're the f-biastaped pizza with a fork.
Starting point is 00:09:35 You know what? Based on how you eat pizza Donald, I want to see your long-form birth certificate. I don't think you were really born in New York.

Starting point is 00:10:53 Unbelievably exciting news. My new podcast, the weekly show. We're going to be talking about the election, economics, ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. The only thing anyone in New York, New Jersey, the entire tri-state region is really talking about, is the ongoing fallout, the scandal involving governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, the closing of the George Washington Bridge. The new mayor of the big appleout, the scandal involving Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, the closing of the George Washington Bridge.
Starting point is 00:11:26 The new mayor of the Big Apple is dealing with a scandal of his own. Wait, what? The mayor of Bill Deblasio scandal? What the guy's barely been mayor in New York for two weeks? He handled a major job. What sort of scandal could he possibly be involved in? Mayor Bill DiBlazio may not necessarily eat pizza like most New Yorkers. You have my attention? I mean, you know, he's a guy's like 610. He's a large man. Does he eat pizzas as though they're wits crackers? I mean, I don't, what? What? What? What? What? What? the guys, like, the thi. thinks? the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they, they? they. they. they. they. they. the the the the the they? they?

Does he eat pizzas as though they're wits crackers? I mean, I don't...
Starting point is 00:12:09 And even still, so what? So unless he rolls up a pie into a ball and takes it as a suppository at Grimaldi's, I don't, I don't see the problem. So the mayor stopped by first sliced at Nile in this afternoon, he cut his pizza with a knife and a fork. Mother-f-haw! Oh! Breathe, Johnny, breathe, Johnny. I know what this is.
Starting point is 00:12:45 This is nonsense. This is a distraction. The part of the liberal media from the real issue, which is Governor Christie's failure to take responsibility for his administration's Diplazio, you son of a bitch. Supposed to be a champion in the middle class, two weeks into your term, and we catch you eating pizza a la Trump. Look, I understand there's a learning curve to be in a mayor, but here's lesser number one.
Starting point is 00:13:14 And you call yourself a radical socialist spent on destroying me yourself. Look I understand there's a learning curve to be a mayor, but here's a lesser number one. Learn how to being a mayor, but here's lesser number one. Learn how to eat your city's signature dish. If you were mayor of Philadelphia, would you eat a cheese steak with a knife and fork? If you were the mayor of Boston, would you eat clam chowder? If you were the mayor of Boston, would you eat clam chowder with... Right.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Even there, the method is hands. In my ancestral homeland, it is more the to to to to to to to to to toeeexxxxxxexexeckexeckyciiiiiiiia their their their their their there, the Methodist's hands. In my ancestral homeland, it is more typical to eat with a fork a knife. I get it, I get it, you're Italian. I get it, you're Italian. Not a Jew impersonating Italian. That's nice. You're just respecting your native lands customs. One thing though, were you elected the mayor of Italy? No! Look out the window in the pizzeria.
Starting point is 00:14:08 You are currently shaming. Look out the window. You see a Sistine Chapel or a leaning tower of pizza out the window. You don't. You see several junkyards and a tanninic salon. You know why? Because you're a shegen's that an islanded tha thanananan island tha thin' island thin't shaped like a boot, it just smells like one. And when you're in Staten Island, you eat your pizza like a disgusting savage, just like every the person in this fucking city.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Do you understand what I'm saying to you? Dabagua, munch your mouth. Everyone knows you're not a real New Yorker until your shirt has at least seven C-through orange grease dates on it. You know what I'm talking about? DiBlazio? You have a piece like this, Lord. I had a lot on it. Oh, you had a lot of...
Starting point is 00:14:52 What, you have topings? Oh, did you have topings? Oh, do you have topings? What, do you have topings? You of all pizza? You, You, You, of all people, are worried about holding your pizza? You, with your enormous con, you, that big wood thing they used to slide the pizza into the oven?
Starting point is 00:15:20 You, you, with your enormous con, thin. You know that big wood thing they used to slide the pizza into the oven? That thing was built after one of your hands. I'm pretty sure at a pizza parlor that thing is called the Blasio. I often start with a knife and fork but then I cross over to the American approach and pick it up when I go farther into the pizza. Oh, you start over there, you pick it over there, you start it over there, you start over there, you start over there, you start over there, you start with the Italian approach, you start out with the Mongolian cheese slurp. No! You pick it up and you eat it with your fucking hand! Admittedly, your predecessor Bloomberg did not eat it with his hands.
Starting point is 00:16:09 He would usually have an assistant cut it up and chew it and then feed it to him like a baby bird. But you're not that! You're a man of the people! Eat like one! We'll be right back. What about my guest tonight? He is New York City's 109th Mayor. Please welcome to the upper east side. I know. You'll get it up there. You know, this is, since you've been mayor, it has snowed what? Three times? Three times, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:55 I remember Bloomberg, 12 years, never snowed once. What? I think he paid the right guy. That's what I'm talking about. He had the money. Has it been overwhelming? It's nonstop. It's 24-7. It's the ultimate 24-7 job. Right. But I love this place. I really love this place. And it's endlessly fascinating to me, but I'd like to snow to end. Yes. I've done the snow experience. I'd like to try something else now. Here's the thing. So you've got, there's a lot of issues that I want to get today. We've got, you know, stop and frisk, you're going to be stopping that. We've got a pre-K education tax policy. We've got the Stables situation.
Starting point is 00:17:35 But there's one thing in particular that is, let's take a look. Bill DiBlazi was caught on camera this week eating pizza with a knife and fork. Now Bloomberg, as you know, used to have his food chewed and then put back into his mouth like a baby bird. But this is unacceptable, sir. you know, used to have his food chewed and then put back into his mouth like a baby bird. But this is unacceptable, sir. So may I, this is from, it's called John's Pizzeria. It's a meal. It's a, it's called a, it's a sausage and mushroom from John's. John's is one of the greatest pizza places in the history of pizza.
Starting point is 00:18:25 I thought maybe you and I could break bread, we could share a slice. Would you like a slice? I would love a slice. Would you, with your head? What are you doing? Okay. Okay. Thank you, John. I gotta teach you everything. I want to say, John. as mayor of Knopoli, I mean New York City, we are always ready for our pizza. Oh my God. Don't even, come on, come on.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Wait to me. There's another way? Oh, let me show you show you. Let me watch show it. Oh, that's a beautiful slice of pizza. Hey, Bloomberg's Don, right? Wait, can you, that technique. Hold on. You have a soda, have it soda. You have a soda. Have a soda.
Starting point is 00:19:19 No. No. No. You should have a big oath. I put a big oak down there for you. Once you get it out. There's a big up down here? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Oh, here we go. Wow. Oh, you are gigantic. Wow! Look that. In his hands, it looks like a regular soda. Cheers. We'll be back with more of a mayor to Barclay right after this.

Starting point is 00:20:49 We're going to be talking about the election, economics, ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. I have very good news. As of today, New York's new mayor isn't the only thing about New York City that is freakishly tall. It's official now, the new World Trade Center building in New York City is now the tallest skyscraper in the country. It may take his dozen years. But when we do it, we do it big. It's celebration of course with its roots in the sadness.
Starting point is 00:21:35 But still, the's a dozen years. But when we do it, we do it big. It's celebration, of course, with its roots and the sadness. But still, the tallest building in America. And we weren't always sure that that would happen. An international panel of architects ruled that the needle at top one world trade center is a spire, not just an antenna, and is thus a permanent part of the building. It's the spire on top that makes it the tallest building in the United States. Oh yeah. Spire on top, brood man.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Of course, obviously the only concern with having a spire like that on top of a New York skyscraper is keeping Stripper King Kong off of it. Putting himself through giant ape college. So now I suppose that because we're now number one, unfortunately somebody else has to be number two. It just... It tops Chicago's Willis Tower, formerly the Sears Tower, which held the title for four decades. I think this is less about the competition of the cities this time because of the significance of this building. You know Poppy, I couldn't agree. the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the the the, I thi thi thi thi, I thi, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thoes, tho, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thoom.. I thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooe, to, the competition of the cities this time because of the significance
Starting point is 00:22:45 of this building. You know, Poppy, I couldn't agree more. Rebuilding the World Trade Center brings all Americans together. What kind of an ass-s-bentom would see this as a competition? I would just say this to all the experts they gathered in one room. If it looks like an antenna, acts like an antenna, then guess what? It is an antenna. Today on this wonderful sunny day in Chicago, you are standing in the tallest occupied spot in a building that you can stand in North America, and
Starting point is 00:23:15 that will continue to be the case regardless of Willis tower? What you, aren't you? Fine, fine. We'll take tallest building in the United States and you can have tallest occupied spot in a building you can stand in North America. You know what, Chicago? What are you so mad about? We already gave you guys murder capital of the United States. You really think, you really think we can't kill more people than you?
Starting point is 00:23:52 Please, we let's let you win. Come on, let's not, let's not do this. Let's just agree. They're both great buildings. Both great cities. I love Chicago. You know what? Let's have a toast. A little toast to New York and Chicago will happen. Oh, geez.
Starting point is 00:24:10 With a little Gertrude Bertrand Kremant Limux. That's the, that's the, did we really, is this real? Oh. I figured this would be like ginger ale and shit, but it's not. A toast to peace between New York and Chicago. While New York City won today, it's no contest which city takes the cake when it comes to, well, just about everything else. Deep dish pizza is quite good. Okay, I was going to be nice. I was going to be nice.
Starting point is 00:24:50 But now you've gone too far. So let me explain something. But now you've gone too far. So let me explain something. Deep dish pizza is not only not better than New York pizza. It's not pizza. It's a fucking casserole. It's a casserole. It's a f-casserole. I'm surprised you haven't thought to complete your deep dish pizza by putting some canned onion rings on top of it.
Starting point is 00:25:33 It's a cornbread biscuit biscuit which you've melted cheese on and then in defiance of God and man and all things holy, you poured uncooked marimara sauce atop the cheese. A top! The cheese on top! The cheese on top the sauce, naked, cold, on display like some sort of sauce hooer. You know the expression, there's no such thing as bad sex or bad pizza. Your pizza is like sex with a corpse made of sandpaper. Let me tell you something. This is not pizza. This is tomato soup in a bread bowl. This is an above ground marinares swimming pool for rats. Let me tell you something about your fucking not pizza. I want to know when I get drunk and pass out
Starting point is 00:26:20 on my pizza that I'm not going to drown. Let me tell you something. I look at this. I look at going to drown. Let me tell you something. I look at this, I look at this mud on, you son of a bitch. I look at this, yeah. Gaba-goo. I look at this. When I look at your deep dish, I don't know whether to eat it or throw a coin in it and make a wish. And if I made a wish, it would be it I wish
Starting point is 00:26:50 for some real f-fixie pizza. Now, now, in all due respect, I realize, it's very cold in Chicago, very cold, it's windy. You need to be able to, I don't know, have a pizza and maybe cut it open and climb inside it like a tong toan to keep warm. Seriously, who are you kidding? Who uses an iron skillet to make a pizza? You don't use an iron skillet to fend off someone who tries to serve you, a fucking pizza made in a skil?
Starting point is 00:27:24 Here's how I know I'm right. You call it a ti-ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton tunnenenedi-tunnedue-tuntun tun tun tun tun tunn tun tun tun tun tun tun tun tun tun tun tun tun. tun. tun. tun. tun. tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, todu, toda, to today, to bea, to beau, toeee, toe, toe, tfiiiiiiiiw.au, tfiiiw.auuuiiiiiiiiiiiii? tfi, pizza made in the sky. Here's how I know I'm right. You call it Chicago style pizza. You call it deep dish pizza, stuffed pizza. You know what we call it? Huh? You know what we call this? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:27:36 You know what I'm saying? Oh, that's nice. And by the way you don't put tomatoes and celery salt on hot dogs either, you know what I'm saying? Everybody knows there's three acceptable condiments for a hot dog. There's mustard, onions, and stagnant cart water. That's it. We'll be right back. Uh, a little while back on the program, I personally don't watch it, I think it's grass. Um, I may have mentioned something about Chicago style pizza
Starting point is 00:28:09 and how it tended to be less pizza-ish than pizza. I was gesticulating quite a bit during that clip. In articulating that sentiment, I may have implied that deep dish pizza tastes like a string cheese that had been baked for two hours inside of Mike Ditka's ass. So I said that on my program, and apparently, Chicago has television. Chicago's wins are no doubt taking personal offense to the Daily Show host, John Stewart's rant against our Deep Dish pizza.
Starting point is 00:28:56 John Stewart trashing our Chicago-style pizza. I take big offense because our Chicago deep dish is the best. Picking on our pizza. A little bit of a ribbing. Come on, take one bite and it is irresistible. I. I. I. I. I. I. th. th. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's.
