The Daily Show: Ears Edition

Jon Stewart dives into Trump (and his doppelganger) photobombing Spain at the FIFA final, using a primetime presidential speech to rehash his 2020 election conspiracy theories, and how his administration's non-DEI meritocracy is faring amid a rash of T-tests, measles outbreaks, a failed 250th celebration, and an algae-filled reflecting pool. Former chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, Ben Wikler, sits down with Jon to discuss his new book, “This Is The Plan: How to End America’s Meltdown and Save Democracy.” Together, they unravel the story of how Democrats flipped Wisconsin from the gerrymandered Republican stronghold to a state with a Democratic governor, pro-democracy state Supreme Court, and fairer legislative maps. They talk about the strategy behind Wisconsin’s political turnaround, beating Elon Musk’s record-breaking spending in a state Supreme Court race, the importance of WI Democratic Party leaders letting the voters decide the gubernatorial primary race, and what it will take to rebuild the Democratic Party’s power nationally. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

An explosive diarrhea parasite called cyclospora sweeps the nation and premieres on TikTok, Taco Bell prematurely signals responsibility for the spread, America's original budget for the Iran War practically triples, and Michael Kosta highlights the connection between government funding for forever wars and the country's outbreak of forever diarrhea. The Supreme Court recently reaffirmed the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship in a 6-3 ruling, but John Leguizamo is wondering: How was this not a clean sweep? Leguizamo examines the right-wing freakout over the court's decision, from xenophobic fever dreams about pregnant foreigners invading the U.S. to boilerplate conspiracy theories about election plots, in another edition of In My Opinion. Michael sits down with comedy legend and Emmy-nominated actor Molly Shannon to discuss her new Netflix series, “The Hawk.” They get into her close-knit relationship with co-star Will Ferrell, how a traumatic childhood car crash informed her reckless style of physical comedy, and all the odd jobs she had before landing “Saturday Night Live.” Plus, Kosta shares what he took away from Shannon’s powerful memoir and asks what advice she has for young people. -- New customers can save 35% on your first month of subscription by going to https://dosedaily.co/TDS or entering TDS at checkout.

Michael Kosta dives into Trump’s busy schedule: hosting an IndyCar event, providing a totally legit medical explanation for how part of Lindsey Graham “blew up,” and reigniting the war in Iran over tolls for the Strait of Hormuz. Plus, Graham’s successor is confirmed, and although she's his sister, she might be America's most qualified senator. The Daily Show counts down the greatest moments in America's 250-year history, from the Declaration of Independence to winning World War II to the time Lenny Kravitz's d**k fell out on stage and changed American history forever. Financial literacy expert and author Beth Kobliner joins Michael to discuss her New York Times bestseller, now in its 5th edition, “Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties." They talk about only half the country requiring high schools to teach personal finance, despite the programs fostering the financial literacy needed to improve credit scores and manage debt. Kobliner effortlessly explains high-yield savings accounts and investing, why retirement accounts should be renamed “super smart investment accounts,” and how getting your finances together is easier than banks and investment companies want you to think. Plus, Kosta asks questions from “broke Daily Show staff” like whether robbing a bank is a viable retirement strategy and whether Gen Z will ever own a home. -- New customers can save 35% on your first month of subscription by going to https://dosedaily.co/TDS or entering TDS at checkout.

Ronny Chieng dives into Trump having to put his pre-owned, Qatar-gifted Air Force One in the shop due to security concerns, and Graham Platner drops out of the Maine Senate race in disgrace but still wants a say in his replacement (and sorry, it won't be Patrick Dempsey). Plus, as Democrats scramble to find another bro-ified candidate for Maine, Desi Lydic throws her trucker hat in the ring. AI is disrupting everything, including the midterms, and Jordan Klepper breaks down how politicians are harnessing the world's most annoying technology to smear their opponents, depict themselves as superheroes, and even engage in some good old-fashioned pandering by making it look like they have lots of Black friends. Comedian and actor Aaron Chen joins Ronny to discuss his new Apple TV comedy film, "The Dink." They talk about meeting when Aaron was 16 years old in the Australian comedy world, ushering in a new era of sports comedies with greats like Jake Johnson, Ben Stiller, and Mary Steenburgen, and teaching tennis champ Andy Roddick everything to know about acting for his film debut. -- CarShield is offering our listeners 20% off with the code TDS at https://CarShield.com/TDS -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Ronny Chieng dives into Trump's appearance at the NATO summit "love-fest," where he picked new fights with Spain and Denmark, converted Japan into an Islamic Republic, and bemoaned his on-again, off-again ceasefire with Iran. Sen. Mitch McConnell's three-week absence has led many to wonder if he's even alive, but CNN's Scott Jennings put that question to rest with a totally believable claim that he chatted with the senator for an oddly specific 17 minutes. (tag)Michael Kosta went to the hospital where McConnell is staying to get the truth from the man himself, and defends the perfectly not-dead senator against a skeptical Ronny. Mayor Aftab Pureval, Cincinnati’s 70th mayor, joins Ronny Chieng to discuss the unique position of mayors in enacting local change. They talk about being a mayor of color of a Democratic city in a red state, balancing long- and short-term solutions as a politician and a statesman, distinguishing the no-nonsense nature of local vs. federal politics, and feeling frustrated with the Democratic establishment and calling for “a new generation of leadership.” -- CarShield is offering our listeners 20% off with the code TDS at https://CarShield.com/TDS Go to https://Quince.com/dailyshow for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.

Ronny Chieng covers America’s 250th birthday festivities, which included Trump rattling off a list of U.S. inventions and a skydiver crashing to the music of "God Bless the U.S.A." Plus, the president couldn’t help but meddle in the FIFA World Cup, where he personally intervened to challenge a red card against the U.S., accidentally defended birthright citizenship in the process, and got mocked by Belgian players doing his infamous "YMCA" dance. Grace Kuhlenschmidt plugs into the biggest headlines in tech: A robotic dog comes equipped with a flamethrower, a self-scooting robo toilet lets you go while on the go, a new delivery app delivers nothing but dopamine, and "actor" Tilly Norwood lands a feature role in an AI coming-of-age film. Author Ann M. Martin sits down with “The Baby-sitters Club” superfan, Ronny, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of her iconic series and the new book, “The Baby-Sitters Club Fan Edition: Baby-Sitter Summer.” Ronny shares how his older sister would read him the books as a kid, and finally asks his most anticipated questions about the series that were left unanswered.

Happy Birthday, America! Ring in the Fourth of July with The Daily Show's coverage of the weirdest party the USA has ever thrown itself, as Donald Trump turns America’s upcoming 250th birthday into a self-glorifying spectacle.

Jon Stewart catches up on the calamitous planning of the Great American State Fair, and the fallout as musicians cancel en mass.

Ronny Chieng introduces a biography of the one thing all Americans can still get behind: the 1992 US Olympic men's basketball Dream Team. And Jon, still in the afterglow of the Knicks big win, contrasts Trump’s gaudy “arch” and UFC spectacle with Americans’ unmet desire for healthcare and genuine community. -- CarShield is offering our listeners 20% off with the code TDS at https://CarShield.com/TDS -- Head to https://Superpower.com and use code TDS at checkout for $20 off your membership.

Josh Johnson dives into the Scottish takeover of Miami for the World Cup, the flock of tourists visiting D.C.'s bright green reflecting pool, Trump’s security escalation to catch possible pool “vandals,” and whether Trump's pool disaster is karma for trashing Obama’s previous reflecting pool fix. Plus, conservative media can’t stop talking about the pool, while Michael Kosta can’t stop dreaming about drinking it. Summer is here, and Lewis Black kicks it off with a look at some of the dumbest and most dangerous fitness trends of the season: sword yoga, which combines the health benefits of yoga with the hazard of lopping off a body part, neck hanging, which is turning Chinese youth into Christmas tree ornaments, and pistols and Pilates, the perfect workout for anyone whose fitness routine needs more guns. Tony, Emmy, and Golden Globe-nominated actor Lou Diamond Phillips talks to Josh Johnson about starring in the new film “Gangland.” They discuss what draws him to making westerns and how this film shows an evolution of the neo-western genre by centering Indigenous stories and talent, both in front of and behind the camera. Phillips also shares what still excites him about the creative process as an actor, speaks to his mission as a recently re-elected governor of the Actors Branch of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to seek out and uplift new talent, and encourages young artists not to build their careers on fleeting trends that might be a “foundation of sand.” -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Jon Stewart dives into Trump's talent for breaking what ain't broke, from throwing one of his cronies $1.7 million in taxpayer money to clean the D.C reflecting pool (which quickly went from "American Flag Blue" to Mountain Dew green) to launching an aggressive war on Iran with the goal of re-obliterating their nuclear program but instead settling on a gentle parenting-style deal that lets Iran keep their nukes, along with a few hundred billion dollars. Trump was not in the room when his own team discussed the Epstein files, is just one of the few pieces uncovered in Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan’s new book, “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.” They sat down with Jon to compare Trump’s first and second terms as president, how Trump controls the terms when reporters reach him on his cell phone, and what they uncovered behind his most controversial acts like the tariff policy rollout and the Iran War. They describe his second term as a story of hubris, built on gut feelings and belief from his cabinet that he is someone of destiny because who else can survive four indictments, two assassination attempts to win the presidency a second time.  -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

And while this conflict demonstrated that the U.S. can’t just force its will onto every country all the time, Josh Johnson thinks he can strongarm Iran into an even better deal. With all of New York celebrating the Knicks championship at a historic ticker-tape parade, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog showed up to chat with Knicks fans of every stripe, from NYPD cops to kilted bagpipers to babies, and he even scored a sweet celebrity interview with Jon Stewart. “'Jackass' is basically about friendship - lots of male nudity, sometimes penetration - but it’s about friendship.” Creator and star of the "Jackass" franchise and co-host of “jackass the podcast,” Johnny Knoxville, sits down with Jordan to discuss his new film, “Jackass: Best and Last.” They talk about the terrifying first scene in the film that launched Knoxville’s career 28 years ago, what happens to people who lay down prank boundaries, and how Jackass may be the answer to the male loneliness epidemic.

Plus, Trump’s $14 million project to fix the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is only reflecting back an algae-green mess, and MAGA supporters suspect sabotage. Former federal workers who lost their jobs to Elon Musk’s DOGE-ing spree are taking another stab at working for the government that humiliated them by running for Congress. Desi Lydic sits down with these scorned civil servants to figure out why they’d voluntarily return to government work after being subjected to Elon's job-killing chainsaw. Britt Lower sits down with Jordan Klepper to discuss her new Netflix series, “I Will Find You,” which she stars in alongside Sam Worthington.

The president also pats himself on the back for an Iran deal that hasn't happened yet and his sneaky not-secret plan to steal one day's worth of oil from Iran. In a new edition of Sports War, Michael Kosta and Ronny Chieng tackle the biggest stories in the world of sports: the New York Knicks, the New York Knicks, and the New York F**king Knicks! While Kosta and Ronny can agree that the Knicks rule, there's still plenty to argue about, like the best way to honor OG Anunoby after his game-winning basket in Game 4, whether courtside celebrities at MSG should be allowed to price out New York City's hardworking billionaires, and whether Knicks pride is worth having blue-and-orange-bagel s**ts for the rest of your life. Tennis legends Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova sit down with Desi Lydic to discuss their new Netflix documentary, “Chris & Martina: The Final Set.” They reflect on the fame, sacrifices, and loneliness they both experienced as teenagers while also helping put women’s tennis on the map, and how their fierce rivalry of nearly 20 years evolved into deep friendship and helping each other through their respective cancer diagnoses.
