STEWART: “They can take our lives, but they can never take our cooktops! Apparently this was a bill they passed to stop the Biden Administration’s new energy regulations. And look, I’m going to be 100% honest with everybody here: I’m on the Republicans’ side. I [bleep] hate electric stoves. I [bleep] hate them. I cannot cook unless I can see how high the flame is, and I’ll be damned if I start burning my signature bananas foster because Joseph Goebbels Biden is trying to ban gas stoves — I’m sorry, I’m being told that that’s not what’s happening. Apparently, the Department of Energy just set new efficiency standards for home appliances, and that 97% of gas stoves already meet the new standards. So, unless this is where you cook, you’re probably fine. And even so, at the end of the day, it’s just your gas stove.”

STEWART: “‘...and I did not speak up, for I was not a gas stove!’ Why do I do this Scottish accent for that? Isn’t that a German homily? Look, no disrespect to any of these [bleep] Idiots, but I think we can move household appliances down on the threat-to-democracy list, just below aluminum-free deodorant. Clearly, this was an overblown reaction.”
