  "account": "As Election Day approaches, Jon Stewart, host of \"The Daily Show,\" has delivered a strong plea for his podcast listeners to head to the polls. However, his message came with a specific request. \"I’d like to frame it as a, ‘However you’ll vote,’ but I don’t mean that,\" Stewart said. \"I mean it as, please send a message to this reckless s—tshow of an administration that enough is enough, that we have had it, that it is time for someone to step up and provide, I believe the framers referred to them as checks and balances, on this utterly imperious administration.\" The clip, posted on social media on Tuesday, precedes the Wednesday episode of his podcast by exactly one week and was delivered on the eve of November 6. After a brief nod to the revolutionary song \"Do You Hear the People Sing\" from the musical \"Les Misérables,\" Stewart shifted focus to a more pressing topic: the looming threat of artificial intelligence. He assured his audience that while AI-related doomsday scenarios were important, they would be discussing the economic and financial ramifications of AI in the days ahead.",
