Speaker 1279.06s - 88.94s

You're listening to Comedy Central ORG. From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central ORG,

Speaker 391.6s - 118.7s

it's America GPE's only source for news. This is The Daily Show with your host, Jordan Clever. Welcome to the daily Joe, George Glepper PERSON.

Speaker 6120.74s - 193.74s

We got so much to talk about tonight. Lewis Black PERSON takes on the cyber truck. RFK Jr. PERSON Who's Black cyber truck. RFK Jr. Looks Black's here. RFK Jr. PERSON has something he just can't get out of his head and Christy Nome's PERSON hopes of becomingVP have been taken out to the gravel pit and shots. Plus, Matt Damon joins us tonight. Not a bad show, huh? First, let's catch up on all the latest in the presidential racewith another installment of Indecision 2024 ORG. Let's kick things off with the huge trial that threatens to destroy a politician's career. Not Trump's trial. He'll get off Scott Free PERSON. No. I'm talking about public opinion versus Christy Knoem. South Dakota governor and big fan of the last two minutes of oldYeller. The mainstream liberal media has been coming at her for days just because her new memoir has a little story in it about executing a puppy. So now she's turning to her base on conservative media to find some support. But it turns out that even they are having a hard time with this.

Speaker 21194.1s - 201.06s

What happens if you are debating Kamala Harris PERSON? And she says, well, wait a second. You shot your dog.

Speaker 7201.2s - 203.24s

I never tell anybody about personal conversations.

Speaker 21203.46s - 205.24s

Did the dog story come up in a conversation with him?

Speaker 13205.24s - 206.92s

I talked to President Trump PERSON all the time.

Speaker 21206.96s - 207.48s

About the dog?

Speaker 13207.5s - 208.36s

About a lot of things.

Speaker 7208.48s - 210.14s

Governor, if you asked me a month ago

Speaker 13210.14s - 211.52s

who's at the top of the list

Speaker 7211.52s - 212.46s

to run with Donald Trump PERSON,

Speaker 13212.56s - 213.58s

I would have said your name.

Speaker 7214.02s - 215.72s

If you asked me that same question this morning,

Speaker 11215.8s - 216.98s

I don't even think you're on the list.

Speaker 6219.62s - 221.04s

These people are harsh.

Speaker 11221.3s - 222.28s

You're not even on the list.

Speaker 6222.58s - 223.6s

Not on the VP list.

Speaker 11223.68s - 224.54s

Not on the cabinet list.

Speaker 6224.62s - 225.78s

Not even on Craig PERSON's list.

Speaker 11226.88s - 233.16s

I will say, for the past few years, I have been wondering how far is too far for the right-wing

Speaker 6233.16s - 233.96s

Manga WORK_OF_ART crowd?

Speaker 11234.52s - 237.56s

And now we know it's shooting your dog in a gravel pit.

Speaker 6238.44s - 275.78s

That is not acceptable until Trump PERSON does it. Then every Republican NORP has to shoot their dogs just to stay in the party. So, kudos right-wing media for putting your foot down against killing dogs. You can hold your head up high and go back to your regularly scheduled segment. Why don't we toss the migrant kids into the Grand Canyon LOC? It's a very compelling segment.Every Wednesday at nine. But not everyone in conservative media had their knives out for Kristy Kno PERSON. In the bowels of Newsmax ORG, Eric Bowling PERSON tried his best to throw her a lifeline.

Speaker 2276.28s - 293.38s

Governor, I've also written a couple of books, and I know how the process works. You write some chapters. You won't write the whole book at once. You write a chapter or two. You send it to the editors,and they edit. They read it. They add. They subtract. And here's my question. The editor. The editor, was she possibly a plant, a liberal plant?

Speaker 6296.14s - 298.04s

A liberal plant editor, Eric PERSON,

Speaker 11298.36s - 300.22s

she wrote the book. She wrote

Speaker 6300.22s - 364.18s

it. You can tell conservatives don't really believe any of their conspiracy bullshit by how casually they try to fit one into any scandal. Just say your editor was a liberal plan, Christy PERSON. Maybe your dog was trying to rig the election. Maybe your dog was DEI. Is that something? I don't know. Just pick one.Believe it or not, shoot eater dog isn't the only scandal about Gnom PERSON's book. There's also a story about when she met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un PERSON, where she wrote, I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un PERSON. Except she had to take that story out because she never actually met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong- PERSONun. And she says the story was put in there by accident.And she took it out as soon as she found out, even though she wrote the book and recorded the audiobook. And if you're wondering,didn't she find that out when she recorded the audiobook? You're not the only one.

Speaker 8364.78s - 373.82s

You said you, when you learned of it, you immediately took action. You recorded the whole book and the audio book. You read this whole passage out loud. Why didn't you take it out then when you read the audiobook?

Speaker 7374.24s - 381.54s

You know, I've traveled for years. I've been involved in policy for almost 30 years. And so I've gone all across the world. I've met with world leaders.

Speaker 8382.2s - 398.12s

So you didn't realize when you recorded the audio book? When I was brought to my attention, and I asked the publisher if they would remove the name, and they did. Okay, I just, but you didn't answer my question. When you posted pictures and video of yourselfrecording the audiobook. When you recorded your own audiobook, you didn't notice this passage?

Speaker 7398.12s - 399.86s

I'm not going to discuss about my meetings with world leaders.

Speaker 8399.98s - 402s

I'm not asking you to. I'm asking about recording the audio.

Speaker 7402s - 403.48s

Did you want to talk about something else today?

Speaker 8404.06s - 406s

For God's sakes, can we talk about something else?

Speaker 7406s - 409s

I shot a dog once. Did you hear about that?

Speaker 8409s - 415s

Kim Jong-un PERSON is not someone you forget meeting.

Speaker 7415s - 419s

He's a madman. No one's ever like, yeah, I met Hitler.

Speaker 8419s - 421s

Oh wait, Adolf Hitler PERSON?

Speaker 7421s - 424s

I was thinking of a different one. Greg Hitler from Tampa GPE.

Speaker 6424s - 440.9s

That's who I was thinking of. Look, I know we've been talking about this Christy Knoem story for a few days in a row now, but she lied about meeting Kim Jong-un and she shot a puppy. I honestly can't think of a political storythat could be crazy enough to push that out of the news cycle.

Speaker 5441.28s - 455.24s

In a new report, Robert Kennedy PERSON opens up about health issues from a, quote, worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died. What?

Speaker 6455.24s - 466.5s

I don't know what's worse, that RFK Jr. PERSON had a worm that was eating his brain, or that his brain is so poisoned, it killed the worm.

Speaker 5468.5s - 473s

It's so wild that we've all been joking about how RFK Jr. PERSON must have brain worms,

Speaker 6473s - 476s

and then he actually has brain worms.

Speaker 5476s - 480s

It's like if the weird kid in class came back from the doctor with a note saying,

Speaker 6480s - 552s

actually, Kyle does have stage two turd face. Please let him get his affairs in order. Now, the Kennedy PERSON campaign is dismissing the notion that the dead worm in their candidate's brain could cause any cognitive problems. But the story actually came outbecause the New York Times found a 2012 deposition from Kennedy PERSON's divorce in which he argued that his earning power had diminished because, quote, I have cognitive problems clearly. So I guess his argument now is, no, no, the worm didn't eat the president part of my brain.Just the part that has to give my ex-wife money. And as if this story couldn't get any weirder, it turns out that Kennedy PERSON discovered the worm because he was getting tested for brain fog and memory loss. But doctors said it probably wasn't the worm that was causing the brain fog. It was more likely that he had severe mercury poisoningfrom eating too much fish. I mean, no wonder RFK PERSON cares so much about climate change. He's legally a thermometer. And...

Speaker 11552s - 557.9s

So how will this affect the race?

Speaker 6558.22s - 592.76s

Probably not much. I know the idealists out there would love to vote for a perfect candidate. But we live in the real world. Okay. Does RFK Jr. PERSON have a worm in his brain? Sure.Trump's brain is just two possums and a squirrel. Biden PERSON's cerebrum is riddled with slugs. You know, would it be nice to have a candidate whose head is full of all brain? Sure. And I'd love a puppy, too, but Christy Gnome shot it. Grow up. For more on the ongoing medical situation, too, but Christy Noam shot it. Grow up.For more on the ongoing medical situation, we go live to the RFK Jr. PERSON campaign with our own Desi Lyon PERSON.

Speaker 11593.5s - 597.38s

Desi PERSON. Wow, Desi PERSON.

Speaker 6599.52s - 606.24s

Worms inside a presidential candidate's head is a terrifying story. What's the mood at the campaign?

Speaker 10606.54s - 620.6s

Well, it's understandable why people are nervous. But as it turns out, brain worms are very common. Healthy even. In fact, some might say society would be better if everyone had worms in their brains. Wow.

Speaker 6620.94s - 623.88s

That sounds like something a worm would say.

Speaker 10625.04s - 643.6s

What? No, Jordan PERSON. It's me, a human woman. I just think people shouldn't be so scared about embracing a symbiotic relationship with another life form. A beautiful parasitic life form. It's not like I'm asking you to surrender to us, surrender to us.

Speaker 6643.9s - 654.86s

Okay, all right, I'm genuinely concerned, Des to us, surrender to us. Okay. All right. I'm genuinely concerned, Desi PERSON. This doesn't sound like you at all. Is it possible you have a brain worm? What?

Speaker 11656.42s - 656.88s

Gordon PERSON.

Speaker 10659.04s - 659.6s

No.

Speaker 11660.3s - 661.22s

Of course not.

Speaker 6661.3s - 662.78s

I don't know why you would even say that.

Speaker 10662.86s - 663.8s

Why would you say that?

Speaker 6665.1s - 668.96s

You're eating soil, Desi PERSON? You're eating, you are a worm.

Speaker 10669.46s - 690.68s

Jordan, if you're suggesting that I was interviewing RFK Jr. PERSON, and he tricked me into touching our eyeballs together so a bunch of his worms could funnel into my brain's left cortex, then you are way out of line. Way out of line. It was just a normal interview.It wasn't weird, okay? Although you know it is weird. Legs, am I right?

Speaker 6690.9s - 691.12s

No.

Speaker 10691.88s - 692.6s

This is horrible.

Speaker 6692.76s - 695.76s

If you're in there, Desi PERSON, you have to fight the worms. Fight the worms.

Speaker 10695.9s - 705.66s

Oh my God. Jordan PERSON, stop being so paranoid. It's just me, Desi Lardick PERSON or whatever. I'll tell you what. When I get back to New York GPE, let's just sit down together,

Speaker 6705.84s - 711.26s

you know, and touch eyeballs. No, absolutely not. Don't threaten me, worm. I won't tolerate that.

Speaker 10711.38s - 715.7s

Oh, oh, what are you going to do? Fire me? Then you're going to have zero worms in late night.

Speaker 6715.78s - 724.16s

How's that going to look? Uh-huh. So you admit it, you are a worm. So what's the end game here? You build an army of worm people, brainwash everyone, and then get RFK PERSON elected?

Speaker 10724.3s - 733.02s

Oh my God. No, Jordan PERSON, that's insane. I mean, yes, we're building an army of worm people, brainwash everyone, and then get RFK elected? Oh my God. No, Jordan, that's insane. I mean, yes, we're building an army of worm people to take over the earth, but we're not voting for RFK PERSON. That dude's crazy.

Speaker 11734.68s - 736.1s

No fucking way.

Speaker 10736.98s - 741.28s

I got worms for brains, not shit for brains, okay? Fair enough.

Speaker 6741.92s - 762.86s

Worms as Elanick PERSON, everybody. We come back, Louis Blas PERSON. We'll be joining us. Don't go away. Like many of us, we might think identity theft will never happen to you.

Speaker 6903.82s - 922.06s

When a news story falls through the cracks, Lewis Black catches it for a segment we call Back in Black WORK_OF_ART. Cars used to be a way to let people know you were cool, or in the case of your friend's dad,

Speaker 4922.12s - 946.58s

to let people know you were having a midlife crisis. And in recent years, one of the coolest cars you could buy was the Tesla ORG. Not only was it a status symbol, but it was electric. It was like a compost bin that you could drink and drive in. For a while, Tesla ORG's stock price was skyrocketing, but now it's sliding down like half of Mitch McConnell's PERSON face.

Speaker 21947.18s - 967.92s

The numbers are in, and Tesla ORG has fallen short of expectations. Elon Musk's electric vehicle company releasing its first quarter earnings, showing its biggest revenue dropping over a decade in the first three months of the year, car sales dropping 8.5% adding to a plummeting stock price that so far this year has gone down over 40%.

Speaker 4967.92s - 978.54s

Holy shit. Down 40%. The only thing worth less than Tesla stock is a fully grown adult at P. Diddy's PERSON house.

Speaker 21983.4s - 984.4s

Stop it.

Speaker 4987.36s - 998.2s

That's the least of the problems. But don't worry, Tesla owner, Elon Musk has a perfectly reasonable, dumb as f*** explanation for this.

Speaker 18998.8s - 1006.2s

We should be thought of as an AI robotics company. If you value Tesla ORG as just like an order company, you would just have to

Speaker 41006.2s - 1041.04s

fundamentally, it's just the wrong framework. Sorry, Elon PERSON, my mistake. All this time I thought your company that sold cars was a car company. God, one of us must be a real fucking idiot. So Tesla ORG's clearly in the shitter and the thing that was supposed to save it was the cyber truck, a vehicle that looks like what happens when youinbreed Dolorians PRODUCT. But unfortunately, the cyber truck appears to be cyber f***ed.

Speaker 61041.38s - 1050.88s

Tesla ORG recalling its entire fleet of cyber trucks, nearly 4,000 in all. The company says the accelerator pedal could get stuck, causing the pickup to unintentionally

Speaker 41050.88s - 1094.08s

speed up, risking a crash. Well, remember, it's not a car crash. It's an AI crash. Open your mind, man. Seriously, though, you recalled all of them? None were okay? Even with the bald wins, they made one good one.I'm not going to say which one. I don't want to get shot. And this is just the... And this is just the latest problem with RoboCops ORG' f*** wagon, because that thing's been shit in the bed since day one.

Speaker 91094.64s - 1100.8s

We've gotten a lot of tales of malfunction. So, for example, vehicles dying after traveling just one mile.

Speaker 51100.88s - 1104.22s

The stainless steel vehicles are quickly showing signs of rust.

Speaker 201104.32s - 1114.14s

One guy sharing how the drive-through car wash was too much for the Tesla cyber truck. He doesn't know what happened, but says the owner's manual does say you should never wash your car in sunlight.

Speaker 141114.34s - 1122.92s

A Tesla ORG cyber truck had to be rescued by a Ford pickup after the Tesla got stuck in the mud and snow on a road in the Sierra south of Lake Tahoe GPE.

Speaker 41123.96s - 1156s

Oh, fancy cyber truck had to get rescued by the big tough Ford ORG. You're the laughing stock of all the other trucks. That Ford ORG pickup's probably banging your wife right now, you cybercuck. Plus, what use is a truck if it can't off road? That's like a sex doll with no holes. Now, I just seem weird having it on my couch.And this car isn't just failing its owners. It's trying to eat them.

Speaker 161156.68s - 1167.14s

Cybertruck users are reporting injuries from the automatic trunk. Everybody's been waiting for this, the finger, without further ado. We're closing the cyber truck.

Speaker 151167.34s - 1173.62s

I'm going to put my finger flat right here and see what happens. Ready? Ready? Ready? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Speaker 111173.62s - 1178.64s

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay.

Speaker 151178.94s - 1187.9s

Oh, oh my God. Oh. Oh. Okay, I can't even move my finger right now. I might have actually broken it. Good.

Speaker 41188.9s - 1189.56s

Good.

Speaker 151189.78s - 1192.96s

Because I'm Team Cybertruck on this one.

Speaker 41193.56s - 1233.06s

You morons had it coming. Do us all a favor. Save us from another generation of cyber truck drivers. Stick your balls in there, too. Luckily, I still have all my fingers so I can deliver this message to Elon PERSON on behalf of Tesla stockholders.Unlike a AI, this is pretty straightforward. So is this one. Jordan PERSON. Lewis Black PERSON, everybody.

Speaker 61233.18s - 1234.66s

When we come back, back favor.

Speaker 41234.88s - 1235.9s

Let me go to be out of the show.

Speaker 61236s - 1238.06s

Don't go away. It's good.

Speaker 111238.06s - 1249.2s

It took me. It took 11 years to get to the sale.

Welcome back to the daily

Speaker 61362s - 1397.98s

show. My guest tonight is an award-winning actor and producer of the critically acclaimed documentary about you two and the Bosnian War called Kiss the Future WORK_OF_ART. Please welcome Matt Damon PERSON.Thank you.

Speaker 111400.08s - 1401.02s

They react to everybody like that.

Speaker 61403.92s - 1423.62s

This movie is, it's remarkable. A story I hadn't heard of. It follows the seizure of Sarajevo. And sort of the art community that sprang out of it and also the ways in which you too was sort of used as a touchstone to pull people together at that time. I wonder what compelled you to tell this story?

Speaker 221423.62s - 1465.06s

Well, I had the same reaction. I just, somebody told me the story, and it was so incredible and um we had this great director Nanajitian shine PERSON who who was from there and who came in and talked to us about it and I just wanted to help get the story out there and get it because it's such a beautiful story and ultimately about light winning triumphinghing over dark, you know? So, uh, and these people in Sarajevo who were just so resilient, but used music as likean act of defiance and resistance in the middle of these horrible circumstances. And I just found it just a beautiful story. So we just, so I'm a producer on it. It's like a documentary. It's not my normal kind of thing to do, but it just, it was something I wanted to put out there for people to see.

Speaker 61465.14s - 1489.94s

Yeah, I think it's remarkable in watching War Torn Sarajevo WORK_OF_ART, and you see people who are, they talk about dodging bullets and sniper fires so they can go listen to music in a basement. How, like, normalcy is so important to them just to feel like they're connected to something. There's moments in there when it's like, I wish we could just, like, airlift Taylor Swift and dropped her in Ukraine GPE just to sort of find some peace. It feels very moderate

Speaker 221489.94s - 1492.2s

in that way. That might be the answer to everything,

Speaker 61492.32s - 1492.92s

actually. Is that right?

Speaker 221493.84s - 1495s

We could...

Speaker 61495s - 1500.04s

She can figure it out.

Speaker 221500.22s - 1501.5s

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 61502.5s - 1503.7s

But it is that,

Speaker 221503.7s - 1504.88s

it is that, you know,

Speaker 61504.94s - 1513.46s

the movie really covers all of these lives of these Sarajevans NORP who really came to that conclusion, reflecting on life and what is life really.

Speaker 221513.46s - 1521.4s

And actually, it was worth risking their lives to go to gather so that they could listen to music or play music or just be together.

Speaker 111521.7s - 1526.14s

And that bonded them and strengthen their community and that

Speaker 221526.14s - 1526.54s

resilience.

Speaker 111526.84s - 1533.44s

And, you know, it's, as Bono PERSON said in that little clip there, it was carrying on with their

Speaker 221533.44s - 1583.76s

lives was a way of saying, you know, you're not beating us, you're not defeating, you will not take our lives from us. You can kill me, but you still won't take this from me. There's a great photo in there that we have of one of these punk rock drummers who lost his hand on the front lines, and he, and he, there's a picture of him with his drumstick duct taped to his, uh, to his, his arm. Yeah. Uh, in place of where, you know, where his hand was and he's just, and he's, and he's playing likedeath metal. Like, come on. You know, like, you're not going to take music away from me. Yeah. And, uh, it's just, and he's playing like death metal, like come on, you know? Like, you're not going to take music away from me, you know, and it's just a beautiful, the stories are really incredible and the people that we got a lot of footage fromthe Sarajevans NORP who were there, and so, you know, there's a wedding in the middle of, like all these real moments that were really happening amidst this

Speaker 61583.76s - 1601.96s

siege. I think they sort of articulate that with the wedding, the scene in the wedding, you're all of this chaos. And again, it's hard to watch this and not see the images you're seeing on news as well, but then to see people go through a wedding, walking through war-torn areas, and just finding those moments of joy. And you really see joy as an act of resistance in those moments.

Speaker 221602.08s - 1611.08s

Right, exactly. This movie also follows, again, this U2 ORG concert in Sarajevo and sort of the conversation around you two a little bit.

Speaker 61611.08s - 1627.48s

And they're sort of looked at in some ways as a way that art can shine through. It can find a beacon for people a way out. I'm curious as an artist yourself, what were touchstones for you? Clearly you didn't grow up in war-torn Boston GPE,

Speaker 111627.7s - 1633.66s

from my understanding. But I'm wondering, as an artist and a creator, like finding those

Speaker 61633.66s - 1637.92s

touchstones that make you feel connected to something larger, what do you see when you watch

Speaker 221637.92s - 1693.36s

and produce a film like that? Well, I feel, look, I mean, I was in Australia GPE last year looking at cave art that was 18,000 years old, and just that very human impulse that we have to tell stories to each other. And it's a way to kind of tell somebody another perspective, right? And if you, you know, for filmmaking, if you can put people in other people's shoes, that builds empathy and compassion.And as, you know, Edge PERSON says in that, yeah, there are, there really are these legitimate, dark forces that are trying to divide us. And you see that a lot in politics. You see that a lot. And what art and music and film does, hopefully, is it's a bulwark against that and an attempt to kind of bridge those divides and keep these communities together.

Speaker 61693.36s - 1722.56s

Do you feel attention to somebody as a creator and a producer? We're in such partisan times, such political times. And selling political ideas is not the easiest sell, as it used to be. People don't want to go near that as far as producing things that might have a larger political agenda. But you also are balancing having a platform and such a difficult time. Like what do you see as you are moving forward and making things? How do you see the art that you want to produce and to be a part of?

Speaker 221722.56s - 1772.46s

Well, I think you want, you know, whatever it is you're making, your heart has to be in it. And you have to feel like it's, look, even if it's a movie that isn't overtly political, if it's about building understanding about the, you know, if you can watch a movie that has no relation to your life and be affected by the characters, then that's, that's one little small bit of evolution, you know, and we're bombarded by all of the, you know, I mean, you're forced to sit through it because you got to write jokes about it, but I mean, it really is kind of an assault on your senses,and it's constantly telling you that we're different and we're divided and we're split and and and I think movies like this and and and and other films can can can kind of call bullshit on that idea

Speaker 61772.46s - 1789.72s

say we're actually a lot closer than than we think or than we're told yeah there's like there's a final quote in this movie that's a poignant one. They wonder whether we need that concert more today than we needed it in 97.

Speaker 221790.08s - 1823.98s

Yeah, that was one of the Sarajevan said that, which was really, and that's why Nanad ORG decided to close the movie with it. Because it is, you do see a lot of parallels to all over the world to what was happening there. And so, again, it's a, I mean, it ultimately is really an uplifting movie because it's, it's beautiful to watch, you know, these people and what they did and how they overcame their situation. The band and what, you know, incidentally, the band was their one, kind of, they werereluctant at first just because they didn't want to make a U2 ORG movie.

Speaker 01824.1s - 1857.02s

They said, no, we don't want to. We were like, no, no, no, we're going to put the Sarajevins PERSON in the center of this. And that's when they, so they gave us all of this footage. And the concert at the end that they play is, it was the first time that 50,000 people gathered, and they were on different sides of this conflict. And they gathered and just listened to music together.And the movie's called Kiss the Future because Bono PERSON, when he started this concert, he grabbed the microphone and he said, fuck the past, kiss the future. And so that's why we call the movie Kiss the Future WORK_OF_ART because that was the, yeah.

Speaker 61859.18s - 1860.88s

Well, it's a beautiful movie. Thanks.
