>> Jon: HEY!
WELCOME TO "THE DAILY SHOW."
MY NAME IS JON STEWART.
IT'S A REALLY SPECIAL NIGHTTONIGHT, A REALLY SPECIAL NIGHT.
THE GREAT CHRIS ROCK IS GOING TOBE JOINING US LATER.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
BUT FIRST, BEFORE WE GET TOTHAT, AS YOU KNOW,
AS WE'VE DISCUSSED ON THISPROGRAM ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS,
AMERICA, AMERICA, 'MERICA. WE'VEBEEN
HAVING A BIT OF A BAD WEEK--MONTH -- EPOCH.
( LAUGHTER )BUT YOU KNOW WHO'S BEEN HAVING A
PRETTY GOOD WEEK-- TOTALITARIANREGIMES.
TAKE, WHAT DO YOU CALL IT THERE,NORTH KOREA.
AS YOU KNOW, THEY OR SOMEMERCENARY COMPUTER HACKERS, A
NERD TEAM 6 IF YOU WILL, BROKEINTO COMPUTERS AT SONY PICTURES
IN RETALIATION FOR THE UPCOMINGMOVIE "THE INTERVIEW," WHILE
APPARENTLY LEAVING SONYCOMPLETELY ALONE FOR
"AFTER EARTH."
I MEAN, THAT MAKES NO SENSE.
I MEAN, FOR GOD'S SAKE YOU HAVETHE MOST CHARISMATIC STAR IN THE
WORLD IN WILL SMITH.
HE'S STUCK IN A BUBBLE, CAN'T GOANYWHERE.
MEANWHILE, THE WHOLE MOVIE,SOME ( BLEEP ) KID IS FLYING
AROUND IN A MAGIC SQUIRREL SUIT.I MEAN, THE WHOLE THING.
AND THE BAD GUYS CAN ONLY SEEYOU IF THEY SMELL FEAR.
GUESS WHAT?
IT'S A VISUAL MEDIUM.
WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
OH, WELL, APPARENTLY, THETHREATENED EXPOSURE OF MORE
CATTY E-MAILS DIDN'T SLOW SONYDOWN IN THEIR VILLAINOUS PLOT TO
RELEASE A COMEDY. SO THE HACKERSWENT TO PLAN B.
>> THEY CLAIMED THEATERS THATSHOW SONY'S NEW COMEDY
"THE INTERVIEW" WILL FACE9/11-STYLE ATTACKS.
>> Jon: FIRST OF ALL, WHENDID 9/11 BECOME A STYLE OF
ATTACKS?
( LAUGHTER )"WE HEARD YOU WERE INTERESTED IN
ATTACKING SOMETHING.
WE'VE ASSEMBLED A PINTREST PAGE.LITTLE INSPIRATION BOOK OF --
TELL US WHAT STYLE OF ATTACKYOU'D LIKE.
MAYBE A 9/11, MAYBE A DRESDEN."
BUT THE POINT IS, YOU'VE DONE ( BLEEP ) UP NOW, BUDDY.
YOU STEPPED IN IT.
9/11 IS OUR MAGIC STRENGTH.
IT'S OUR SPINACH.
IT REMINDS US, WE DON'T GIVE IN,WE NEVER GIVE UP, WE DON'T BACK
DOWN.
>> THE SONY SPOKESPERSON SAYSTHE COMPANY WILL NOT BE
RELEASING THE FILM.
( LAUGHTER )>> Jon: OKAY.
NOT RELEASING IT IN THEATERS,BECAUSE VIDEO ON DEMAND IS A
DEMOCRATIZED TECHNOLOGY.
IT WILL INHABIT THE ENTIREEARTH.
YOU MADE A BIG MISTAKE, NORTHCOHACKERS.
CAUSE THESE COLORS DON'T RUN.
>> NO VIDEO ON DEMAND.
IT'S AS IF "THE INTERVIEW" NEVEREXISTED.
>> Jon: ( BLEEP ) YOU.
( LAUGHTER )THAT'S IT?
SO KIM JONG UN GETS TO DECIDEWHAT MOVIES WE MAKE?
SO THIS IS EVERY MOVIE FROM NOWON IS JUST THIS, "WORLD'S
BIGGEST PENIS, THE MOTIONPICTURE."
THAT'S IT.
ACTUALLY, HERE'S WHAT'SINTERESTING.
IN KOREAN, THAT TRANSLATES TOAFTER-GIRTH.
( LAUGHTER )FOR GOD'S SAKE, NORTH KOREA,
THAT'S WHAT THEY DO.
THEY THREATEN PEOPLE WITHHYPERBOLIC LANGUAGE.
WHY DO WE FALL FOR THAT?
THAT'S THEIR HOOK.
>> NORTH KOREA HAS THREATENED TOTURN WASHINGTON INTO A SEA OF
FIRE.
>> Jon: SEA OF FIRE!
WHAT?
AND DID WASHINGTON SHUT DOWN?
DID OUR GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN?
OKAY, YES, IT DID SHUT DOWN, BUTTHAT WASN'T WHY.
IT WAS A FUNDING DISPUTE.
BAD EXAMPLE.
THE POINT IS THIS-- KIM JONG UN,I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY YOU'RE SO
MAD AT HOLLYWOOD.
YOU SHOULD LOVE THEM.
HOLLYWOOD IS JUST LIKE NORTHKOREA.
EVERYONE IS ALWAYS TELLING YOUHOW GREAT YOU ARE.
THERE ARE BILLBOARDS EVERYWHEREWITH YOUR FACE ON THEM AND NO
ONE EATS.
( LAUGHTER )BUT MEANWHILE, CLOSER TO HOME,
SOME OF OUR OTHER ENEMIES GOTGOOD NEWS AS WELL.
>> PRESIDENT OBAMA ANNOUNCINGPLANS TO NORMALIZE RELATIONS
WITH COMMUNIST CUBA AFTER MORETHAN HALF A CENTURY.
>> WE WILL END AN OUTDATEDAPPROACH THAT FOR DECADES HAS
FAILED TO ADVANCE OUR INTERESTS.
>> Jon: SPECIFICALLY OURINTEREST IN BREATHABLE SHIRTS,
DELICIOUS CIGARS AND ADORABLEOLD MEN BANDS.
COME ON, HOW BAD COULD CUBA BE?
THEY'RE LIKE HUMMEL FIGURES THATPLAY GUITAR.
BUT LIKE ANY CHANGE, THERE WILLBE SOME LAGGARDS.
>> RIGHT WHEN THE ADMINISTRATIONWAS FEELING THE MAXIMUM PAIN, IT
THROWS THEM AN ECONOMIC LIVESLINE AND CONTINUES THE BRUTAL
REPRESSION AND DICTATORSHIP OFTHE CASTRO BROTHERS.
>> THE CUBAN GOVERNMENTUNFORTUNATELY IS GOING TO
MANIPULATE ALL THESE CHANGES TOTIGHTEN THEIR GRIP ON POWER.
>> Jon: TIGHTEN THEIR GRIPON POWER?
THESE TWO ARE BARELY HOLDING ONTO LIFE.
( LAUGHTER )I MEAN, FOR GOD'S SAKE, JUNIOR
IS 83.
AT THIS POINT, HIS BIG BROTHER,SO TO SPEAK, HE JUST LIES IN A
CORNER FARTING DUST.
IT DOESN'T-- WE'VE EMBARGOEDTHEM FOR OVER 50 YEARS.
IT HASN'T SHAKEN THEIR POWER.
MEANWHILE, WE'VE THROWN PLENTYOF DICTATOR BRUNCHES THAT THESE
TWO WOULD SURELY QUALIFY FOR.
SO WHY NOT SEE IF LIBERALIZINGBORDERS CAN HELP CHANGE THE
DYNAMIC.
>> WE AS A NATION AND OUR MORALSTANDING IN THE WORLD IS BASED
ON ONE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE ANDTHAT IS A RESPECT FOR HUMAN
DIGNITY, HUMAN RIGHTS, DEMOCRACYAND FREEDOM.
>> EVERY ECONOMIC TRANSACTIONSTRENGTHENS THE REGIME THAT IS
OPPRESSING, THAT IS TORTURING.
>> Jon: I DON'T KNOW WHATYOU TWO GUYS HAVE BEEN DOING FOR
THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT ITHINK I KNOW WHICH BOOK I'M
GETTING YOU FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
( LAUGHTER )>> JON, JON, MR. STEWART,
AMERICA MAKES BIG MISTAKE.
>> Jon: WHAT?
IS THAT-- WHAT THE-- OH, MY GOD,EVERYBODY!
IT'S GITMO, THE GUANTANAMODETAINEE.

GITMO, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOWTHIS, GUATANAMO BAY,
THAT'S ACTUALLY, THAT'S IN CUBA,BUT THAT'S AN AMERICAN PRISON.
THAT'S OUR GOVERNMENT HOLDINGYOU IN THOSE CONDITIONS.
YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT?
>> OH, RIGHT. BRAINGET CLOUDY AFTER 10 YEARS,
WHAT WAS GITMOCHARGED WITH AGAIN?
>> Jon: CHARGED WITH?
UM... IT'S A FUNNY STORY.
WE HAVEN'T ACTUALLY GOTTENAROUND TO-- HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT,
GITMO--( LAUGHTER )
YOU KNOW WHAT, GITMO?
IT COULD BE WORSE.
SOME OF-- IT'S HARDER THAN ITLOOKS.
SOME OF OUR OTHER OFFSHOREDETAINEES GOT FOOD TUBES IN
THEIR RECTUMS.
>> GITMO DREAM OF FOOD TUBE INRECTUM.
( LAUGHTER )HAS TO BE BETTER THAN MAN'S ARM.
>> Jon: WELL, THAT-- THAT'STRUE, THAT CAN'T BE COMFORTABLE,
BUT SURELY, YOU MUST TAKE SOLACEIN SENATOR RUBIO'S AND CRUZ'S
DISCUSSION OF AMERICAN VALUES.
>> SURE. AS LONG AS THE MORALRELATIVISM OF THEIR POSITION
IS SINCERE AND NOT A PANDER TO APOWERFUL, CUBAN EXPAT COMMUNITY
IN AND ATTEMPT TO GAIN AN EDGEON FLORIDA'S 29 SWING STATE
ELECTORAL VOTE.
>> Jon: GOD, GITMO.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
THAT IS SO CYNICAL.
>> GITMO SORRY.
GITMO SHOULD HAVE MORE FAITH INTHE SYSTEM.
( LAUGHTER )>> Jon: THANK YOU, GITMO.
I ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY.
GITMO, EVERYBODY, WE'LL BE RIGHTBACK.
HOW DARE YOU?

JORDAN KLEPPER HAS MORE.
>> THIS PAST SATURDAY, THESTREETS OF NEW YORK ECHOED WITH
VOICES RAISED AGAINST INJUSTICE.
AND CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEY NORMANSIEGELL THINKS THEY HAVE A RIGHT
TO BE HEARD.
>> EVEN IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THECONTENT OF THE MESSAGE OF A
