"You can SEE the light leave his eyes." Hot Topic 🔥 Full coverage and conversation on Politics A clip of Jon Stewart interviewing former Vice President Kamala Harris is making the rounds because...well, you'll see. The prior Democratic presidential nominee appeared on The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart amid the release of her political memoir, 107 Days. In one section, Jon spoke about the limitations of the Affordable Care Act, which he said ultimately wasn't "the fix that we wanted it to be, to a system that inherently won't function well." Kamala then affirmed that healthcare "should be a right," before posing the question, "How do you get there?" She elaborated, "Immediately, on this issue of where we are with the shutdown, is to hold firm, as they are doing. Part of it has to be to continue to reform the system. The Affordable Care Act was a significant reform for its time, but there is more work to be done, which includes, for example, the affordability of prescription medication. We pushed for a $35 cap on insulin, which had a huge impact on so many people. We did it for seniors, we wanted to do it for everyone — we couldn't get the support of Republicans in Congress." Jon then said, "But again, so it speaks to incremental change" — to which Kamala interjected, "Which is never satisfying." As Jon agreed, she said, "It's never satisfying to say, we've got to be incremental."

She continued, "And I'm not advocating incrementalism, but until we win back majorities in the Senate and the House and take the White House, that may just be where we are." "And it's not where we should be. And it should not satisfy us, that we have accomplished incremental change. We should be completely pissed off about that," she added. Well, that is...certainly a response! The reactions quickly came in: Maybe the man just has...resting concerned face.
