Do members of Congress have mental problems? That's what Jon Stewart wants to know.

"The Daily Show" host posed that question Wednesday night to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., as the two discussed the liberal senator's legislative wish list.

While discussing mandatory paid leave and the minimum wage, Gillibrand bemoaned her fellow lawmakers for having a lack of empathy on the issues.

"The issue is, people in Congress are in a bubble and they don't have a lot of empathy for regular working families," Gillibrand said.
