From the Daily Caller: Comedy Central host Jon Stewart said Thursday he was left “speechless” after New York Times columnist Ezra Klein outlined the lengthy process to implement the Biden administration’s rural broadband proposal.
The $40 billion broadband project had not started a single project in the three years since the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) was signed in 2021 by then-President Joe Biden. Klein spent several minutes walking an increasingly incredulous Stewart through the 14-step process for states to get the rural broadband.
“Step 12: States must run a competitive sub-granting process,” Klein said almost four and a half minutes into his outline of the ordeal.
“Oh my fucking God,” Stewart exclaimed as Klein continued explaining the process. “That’s step 12… after all this has been done?”
At one point, a stunned Steward said, “I’m speechless… Honestly, like it’s, uh, far worse than I could have imagined. But the fact that they amputated their own legs on this is what’s so stunning.”

Geiger Capital commented on the video, calling it, “The greatest DOGE ad you’ll ever see.”
“Jon Stewart finding out how the Biden Administration spent $42 Billion to expand broadband to more Americans, and connected ZERO (0) homes in 4 years,” the group wrote.
