ThePeteTV: Daily Show Clip Library

This is the official Daily Show clip video library at ThePete.Com. This is where you can find all sorts of clips from the most important television show ever, The Daily Show. Most are in Quicktime, but some are in Real Media or other formats. Special thanks go out to Lisa Rein of OnLisaReinsRadar.Com for hosting these files for me! YOU ROCK, LISA!!

Anyway, you can always access ThePeteTV's Daily Show clip library by clicking on "ThePeteTV" in the nav menu. You can also check out other categories chocked full of vids that will make you think, laugh and other stuff, too. Because these files are hosted on Lisa's server, I can't tell how often they're being downloaded so if you want to do me a huge favor, please let me know if you download any in the comments section below. Or just go and talk about them in TheForum.

OK, here are the Daily Show vids:

The most important clips from the Daily Show--not always funny, but always important. The newest clips are at the top. For a more alphabetical listing of these files, go here

Giant_Mess_O_Potamia.mov
ADDED 11/1/04 - "I'm not going to address the torture word," says Rummy in this clip that will at most make your blood boil, or at least bewilder you as to how the USGov could possibly be so blatantly moral-free.

Iraq_Attack_1_yr_later.mov
ADDED 11/1/04 - Look back at a year of post-war peace in Iraq... or not!

Kerry_Can_Run_But_Cant_Hide.mov
ADDED 11/1/04 - Watch this clip from two weeks before the election when the candidates were exchanging questionably credible barbs and Bush was touting his campaign of hope while Cheney talked about terrorists nukes in New York. It's a happy clip. (This is the "Holy graphics department, Batman!" clip.)

Richard_Clarke_2_Blame.mov
ADDED 11/1/04 - Let's see, either former Terrorism Czar for the last three presidents, Richard Clarke is a hard working, honest, upright guy, or he's a complete and utter traitor with a book to sell. Watch this clip and be the judge!

Rummy_Ache.mov
ADDED 11/1/04 - Rumsfeld faces the music on the Abu Ghraib scandal. Wow, in that thumbnail, it looks like Stewart has a rummy ache! Awww!

Safer.mov
ADDED 11/1/04 - Jon Stewart learns that George W is POSITIVE that since Saddam has been removed from power AMERICA IS SAFER.

Stockpile_of_Weapons.mov
ADDED 11/1/04 - Learn about an illegal plan to postpone the presidential election because of terror warnings.

Suspending_Elections.mov
ADDED 11/1/04 - Learn about an illegal plan to postpone the presidential election because of terror warnings.

Talking_Points.mov
ADDED 11/1/04 - Ever wonder why Republican speeches sound so similar? Well, now you can find out why...

Turned_the_Corner.mov
ADDED 11/1/04 - Jon Stewart learns the hard way that, according to George W, we've Turned the Corner.

America_The_Book_NY_Library_pt1.mov
ADDED 11/1/04 - Part 1 of a C-SPAN broadcast of an event at the New York Library. Jon Stewart and some of the writers from the Daily Show read excerpts from America: The Book and answer questions.

America_The_Book_NY_Library_pt2.mov
ADDED 11/1/04 - Part 2 of the above described video.

America_The_Book_NY_Library_pt3.mov
ADDED 11/1/04 - Part 3 of the above described video.

America_The_Book_NY_Library_pt4.mov
ADDED 11/1/04 - Part 4 of the above described video.

America_The_Book_NY_Library_pt5.mov
ADDED 11/1/04 - Part 5 of the above described video.

America_The_Book_NY_Library_pt6.mov
ADDED 11/1/04 - Part 6 of the above described video.

911_Blame_Game.mov
ADDED 10/31/04 - Play the 911 blame game during the 911 commission hearings where it's duelling lappell flags and finger pointing 101 as your main activities.

Abu_Ghraib_Fun.mov
ADDED 10/31/04 - Watch as the Department of "Justice" stands in the way of a proper investigation into the Abu Ghraib scandal. In this clip Ashcroft "invokes nothing" and simply blows off a Senate request for memos that may or may not condone the use of torture.

Bush_Vs_Bush.mov
ADDED 10/31/04 - This is one of the Daily Show's smartest moments--they cut together a "debate" between "President" Bush and Governor Bush using footage from recent Bush addresses and clips form the presidential debates in 2000. Basically, Bush looks like an Ass because in 2000 he said a couple of things that he's gone back on regarding Iraq. I know, I know, 911 changed everything! Yeah, well, it didn't change politicians--they still lie, cheat and scare to get what they want and here's a little bit of proof!

Jon_Stewart_on_C-SPAN-low_qual_Pt1of4.mov
Jon Stewart is interviewed on C-SPAN's American Perspectives for an hour. Personally, I wish the Daily Show were an hour every day, so, getting him to sit alone for an hour and just talk means guaranteed laughs and intelligent commentary for an hour straight! This is part 1 of 4.

Jon_Stewart_on_C-SPAN-low_qual_Pt2of4.mov
Part 2 of Jon Stewart on C-SPAN.

Jon_Stewart_on_C-SPAN-low_qual_Pt3of4.mov
Part 3 of Jon Stewart on C-SPAN.

Jon_Stewart_on_C-SPAN-low_qual_Pt4of4.mov
Part 4 of Jon Stewart on C-SPAN.

Daily_Show_Smart_Bomb.mov
This is the Daily Show's parody of the pro-Bush video that ran at the RNC in 2004. What it really does is point out how much Bush has lied to the American people and backs it up with Bush 43's own words.

Daily_Show_on_UK_C4_News_Oct04.mov
This is a news story the UK's Channel 4 did on the Daily Show and Jon Stewart's antics on CNN's Crossfire (see clip below). This is an interesting clip because we get to see how British news covers US news "coverage."

Jon_Stewart_Crossfire.mov
Here's the now historic clip of Jon Stewart pulling few punches on CNN's Crossfire. Stewart comes off looking like a virtual Mr. Smith (of "Going to Washington" fame) while Tucker Carlson comes off looking like a douche.

RNC_Arnold.rm
Here is the Daily Show's commentary on Arnold's "thrilling" speech at the RNC where he refers to Nixon as sounding like a breath of fresh air. (Arnold, not Stewart!)

Your_Tax_Dollars_Lying_2_U.mov
Here is part one of two parts of the Daily Show's coverage of a "news" report produced by the Bush 43 Admin to help promote the new Medicare bill that they had already lied about. The report was shot using a fake reporter and was clearly not hard news. This report was distributed to news shows around the US and was even aired by many of them. A few months after this story aired, the General Accounting Office found that this was actually a violation of federal law. However, because no one was ever brought up on charges, the Bush 43 Admin did it again. Sadly, the Daily Show hasn't covered the GAO story or the new propaganda "news" report.

Your_Tax_Dollars_Lying_2_U_Pt2.mov
Here's part two of the clip featuring Rob Corddry talking about how the White House has done a much better job of fake news than they do. Of course, this becomes a veiled criticsm of the White House's adeptness at lying.

oct7-oreilly-1of2s.mov
Here's part one of two files featuring Bill O'Reilly's appearance on the Daily Show. To get why this is important, imagine if Obi-Wan Kenobi had his own talk show and then had Darth Vader on as a guest. You see what I mean?

oct7-oreilly-2of2s.mov
Here's part two of the clip. Creepily, I found myself actually agreeing with O'Reilly in this segment... >shudder<
