LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent episode of 'The Daily Show', Jon Stewart unleashed his signature wit and humor to ridicule Dr Phil McGraw's peculiar warning about migrants "with six-packs and military boots" crossing the US border.

Stewart's comedic prowess took center stage as he hilariously impersonated Dr Phil and playfully exaggerated the situation.

Stewart's hilarious take on immigration rhetoric and hyperbole

Stewart's satirical analysis of the ongoing immigration debate touched on the hyperbolic rhetoric often seen in media coverage.

He cleverly integrated references to various sensational claims, including the alleged criminality of migrants and the unlikely presence of individuals from countries like Iran, Syria, and Egypt.

Playfully impersonating McGraw, Stewart sarcastically emphasized the physical fitness of the migrants, humorously suggesting a desire to engage intimately with them.

Stewart mocked, “I mean, tight a**es. I mean, there’s not an ounce of fat on these motherf***kers. I am so hard right– I wanna go down that goddamn border and I wanna get a** deep on these immigrants. I wanna suck and f**k until–”

Stewart's satire continued as he mocked former President Donald Trump's unrelated warning about the fictional cannibal Hannibal Lecter supposedly entering the country.

The comedian wittily questioned whether cannibals might be viewed as a solution to the migrant issue or if they were perhaps fasting until reaching America.

“Wouldn’t cannibals amongst them be the solution to the problem, or are they fasting until they get to America?” Stewart questioned.

During the segment focused on accusing Republicans of "fearmongering" about migrants, Stewart played a clip of McGraw's appearance on the 'Joe Rogan Experience', where McGraw expressed concern about the appearance of military-age men with six-packs and military boots at the southern border.



 

Stewart's humorous take on the situation and his impersonation of McGraw resonated with the audience, evident in their enthusiastic applause. 

“The number of military-age men that are showing up with military haircuts, clearly in shape– these guys are showing up with six-packs and military boots," told Joe Rogan.

In a final punchline, Stewart teased Dr Phil's involvement in a fictional special titled 'Dr Phil Straddles the Border', adding a hilarious touch to his critique of the media sensationalism surrounding the immigration narrative.
