In a controversial segment on 'The Daily Show', host Jon Stewart implied that without U.S. military support, Germany might revert to its historical Nazism. This statement was made during a discussion with former Romney advisor Oren Cass about tariffs and military influence. Cass challenged Stewart's suggestion, calling it a 'weird racist critique' and questioned the basis for such an assertion. The dialogue touched on Germany's role as a global military power and the responsibilities of the U.S. in maintaining geopolitical stability, leading to a humorous yet tense moment between the two.
"No, no, no, I want to pick up on this... 'Oh, the Germans will just become Nazis again,' like that's a weird racist critique of Germans. I don't see any reason to believe that."
"I have a book at home about Germany and their position as a global military power, where we didn't have sway, and they did whatever they wanted, and it didn't work out."
"I think it's that there is an element within their society that they've deemed... this is not me saying Germans will do that, this is Germany."
