Harvard Rejects Trump Order, SCOTUS Gets Left on Read | Nimesh Patel

You're listening to Comedy Central.

From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central is America's only sorts for news.

This it's the Daily.

Chick with your home from its.

Hey, welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Roy Chang. We got so much to talk about tonight.

The Supreme Court gets left on red, Democrats are hitting up. They'll sell the door for spring break, and someone at Harvard does not like them apples.

So let's get into it.

I'm going to comedy.

Yesterday was a big day in American history. A group of women finally met society's expectations to weigh zero pounds. And also Donald Trump figured out that when the Supreme Court tells him to do something, he can just ignore them, which is why I'm always saying the Supreme Court needs nukes. Okay,

The job administration says it cannot return a marilynd Man mistakenly deported to El Salvador or Trump officials to argue that since Abrigo Garcia is locked inside a prison in El Salvador, it's essentially not their problem anymore and they can't do anything about it.

But yesterday at the White House, bu Kelly said he didn't have the authority to release Garcia either.

I don't have the power to return him to the United States.

This is like every customer service call I've ever been on. Oh, I'm sorry, this is billing. You're looking for technical support, me transfer you. Hello, this is te goal support. Oh sorry, you need billy? Can someone just help me cancel my cable accept for Company Central? Which is a vital service for American society.

But the Trump.

Administration isn't just enjoying the fun new constitutional loophole. They're also going on offense. That's why Stephen Miller, Trump advisor and multi verser's most whiney lex luthor, was also on the driveway, asking questions he did not want the answer to. Can anyone here tell me what would happen to the illegally alien from mel Salvor if he came back from that space?

Does anyone here now do anyone want to guess any.

Of you you could be with his family?

What did do any of you know the answer to the question?

Legally? What would happen if he came back here?

Does any of you know anything?

Do you really do?

Course I'm talking?

You really believe I'm praying before I'm talking?

Though?

Doesn't think?

Or why was it? Naw, you're done.

You asked the question.

Man.

You can't be mad that they're trying to answer you. It's like if a teacher said, okay, class, who can tell me the capital of Norway?

Anyone, anyone? Shut the fuck up, now answer a question. I said, shut up. But it's not just Steven Miller.

The entire Trump administration is getting frustrated with how these dumb libs are winding about this one guy from Maryland.

Oh, it's so awful.

We accidentally sent a guy to the world's wall's prison without trial or due process.

Shut the fuck up?

Okay, because according to Homeland Security, he wasn't that great.

The media would love for you to believe that this is a media darling, that he's just some Maryland father. Well, Osama bin Lauden was also a father, and yet he wasn't a good guy, and they actually are both terrorists.

This tween influencer is right.

It's the position of this administration that all fathers are basically Osama bin Lauden. I mean, seriously, this guy has no criminal record at all. If he's a terrorist, he might be the worst terrorist ever. I mean, he's been in America for fourteen years and hasn't done any terrorism. So maybe Trump is right, Maybe immigrants really are lazy. What like, what is happening here? Okay, this is America. We don't just send someone to prison without evidence. We

Marylyn.

Senator Chris Van Holland says he's considering going to El Salvador to meet with the country's president.

He needs to come home, and that is why I do intend to visit El Salvador this week to try to visit him, to let him know that we're working to bring him home.

This is a trap. It's a trap. Do not go. This guy's gonna go.

Then the prison gods are going to be like, oh yeah, yeah, sure, Senator, Yeah, he's right inside that cell over there. Yeah, go on in, just all the way in the back there, just keep going. I mean, good for the senator for what he's doing, but it's gotta be at least a little disappointing for Garcia. He's like, someone's coming to bring me out of prison? Is it still Team six? Is it the guy from prison break with the tattoos? No, it's me Maryland Senator

Wicked had.

A showdown is now taking shape between the Trump administration and America's oldest university, the federal government announcing it will freeze more than two billion dollars in grants for Harvard and sixty million dollars in contracts after the school refused to comply with demands to limit activism on campus, eliminate its DEI programs, and make other changes.

Holy shit, we finally found a force more powerful than Trump's hatred, Havard's love of sending rejection letters.

But look, I don't usually.

Root for Harvard because the Harvard They've got everything. It's like rooting for Jeff Bezos to win the lottery. But in this case, I have to give them credit standing up for their principles and for everyone's right to free speech, even if it means possible financial ruin.

One of the big questions going forward is Harvard going to dip into that fifty billion dollar plus endowment to make up for that federal shortfall.

Okay, I hate them again, But the best part about Haava's resistance to Don Trump is that it gives people the chance to go on TV and let you know where they went to school.

I myself in a first generation college graduate.

I graduated from Harvard, and.

I should disclose I went to Harvard, so I'm very familiar with the president and with how the community feels right now.

But as Harvard alum, and as you know, I am as well.

I know many alums, including people I know very closely in faculty members like me.

I know you look really surprised because I'm wearing a tie you've never seen before.

It has it has a little Latin word.

Inside each one of those symbols there the word veritas, meaning truth of course. And this is the one night It's a one night only appearance of this time.

I know that that is not something that you usually build board in the world about yourself.

Oh God.

The only thing was than people bragging about going to Harvard is people pretending to be embarrassed about going to Harvard.

So oh, my doctors secret. Please don't make me tell anyone, please, No, I went to Harvard.

Harvard, ha, Havard, Havard. My favorite guy is Lawrenzo O'Donnell. He's really embarrassed he has to talk about this. I mean, it's definitely not something he will bring up all the time over the course of many years.

Let me just say confessionally, I went to Harvard College.

Most of the good things that have happened to me in some way trace back to Harvard. You and I as Harvard Americans. Yes, I first heard him speak as a guest lecturer at Harvard.

Okay, well, I got into Harvard too.

In fact, it was the only college I applied to.

So I know.

I'll try to bring people back from the Salvador megaprism.

But do they have m for one and more?

Any chance for more on Harvard's resistance to the Trump administration. Let's go Live to the White House with Josh Johnson. Josh, what's the latest?

Oh, I'll tell you the latest Ronnie Harvard is about to give. I mean, dude, these Cambridge nerds of any idea of the kind of power they're dealing with. Donald Trump is the president of the United Mother States, right.

And since he's so powerful, you can also get kilmar Garcia back from El Salvador.

Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. Donald Trump doesn't have that kind of power, all right. He's only the president of the United States. That's like being a middle school principal. He doesn't even get his own parking space. You want to put him up against the sovereign nation of l Salvador, the Salvador.

Don't be crazy, man.

Okay, okay, wait, but since when does Trump respect sovereign nations? I mean, he's been talking all month about invading Greenland.

And he will. Greenland belongs to America. You know why because Doald Trump said so. And when you're swinging around a pp as big as Donald Trump's, that's all it takes.

Okay, So he should do that with El Salvador. With his tiny little peep.

Trump can't tell El Salvador to do that. That country is terrifying. They got a prison filled with Osama bin Loddens. You saw what one Bin Ladden can do. Just think about multiple Osama's Ben's Loddens.

Okay, Josh Trump can't have it both ways. How can he be fighting a trade war with China if he's so weak?

Who you call him? Weak? Bitch?

Doald Trump has nukes, He's the biggest army in the world.

They tried to shoot him and just shook it off.

Okay, Okay, I think I'm getting it here. Okay, So when it comes to China, Trump is powerful. He's gone on Earth and Canada.

He's Zeus.

Maz Trump's he spits on Mars. Then he finds the biggest crater and.

He fox it all right?

Okay, Like yeah, and El Salvador, what do you expect him to do to El Salvador?

Their president showed up wearing black on black, looking like Juan Wick. But Trump Trump's just a scared little kid. His mom died twenty five years ago. Do you know that you want to put that little orphan boy on a plane to El Salvador?

You sick?

Okay, I'm sorry, I guess I just don't understand the power dynamic.

Leave that to me, Ronnie. I'm a smart guy. I don't usually bring this up, but I went to Harvard. Wait what, you went to Harvard to the bookstore.

Did you know if you say you're going to buy a sweatshirt, they'll let you tear up that bathroom.

Okay, johnsh Johnson.

Everyone, when we come back, Jessie Lylis, we'll give America respects it.

Don't go away. Welcome back to the Daily Shop. I have some disturbing news. America is not the only country in the world. But what do these other so called countries think of America. To find out, we turned to desi lydis.

Oh respect. We all learned how to spell it from that song h ott og o find out what it means to me. The scale of respect can go from as high as old Kanye to as low as current Kanye. It's a wide spectrum, and during his campaign, Donald Trump promised that America would be climbing the respect charts again.

Under my leadership, America soon will be respected again, very quickly, respected like never before.

America will be respected again and admired again.

Will you win?

America will be feared and respected again.

Oh yeah, Remember Trump's garbage era when he wore a garbage costume and drove up in a garbage truck. It was like y y yamyum in trash. Anyway, he's going to get us respected again, and there's nothing the world respects more than a good old fashioned trade war. So now that we're a few weeks into it, let's see how that's going over with the rest of the world, starting with China.

So if the United States wants to go in that direction of completely shutting itself out of the standa market.

Be my guest.

Yeah, and China will lose the US market, which, as I've said, it's fifteen.

Wait o care ooh damn, I don't know. China also manufactured caddy bitches.

Whoo, I get it.

I get it.

Understandably, they're angry at us, but the important thing is that they respect us.

A viral AI generated video is making fun of US China trade relations and at tensions escalate Trump.

And Elon Moskin JD Van making Nike sneakers.

They're also viral videos of.

Trump sitting behind a sewing machine in a factory.

All of this rife on Chinese social media. Wow, this is scary. I did not think AI had the power to show Donald Trump doing skilled labor. But okay, who cares if China doesn't respect us. They're only like a quarter of the people on earth. That's not even half. I'm sure the rest of the world is bowing down to the US. What about you, France? Vulivucouchet respect MOI sets wall in France. Menuhil mccron called the tariffs brutal and unfounded.

A town in France has replaced Coca Cola with apple juice at municipal events.

The boycott of Coca Cola.

We need to punish mister Trump a little bit.

They will content themselves with the statue of Liberty on the Cae Descent in Paris. These French people will not set foot in the United States as long as Donald Trump is in power.

I don't want to, although I love America and I've been before, but this time that's.

A no hold on.

France had a second statue of liberty on the side this whole time. That the most French thing I've ever heard. But fine, fine, the French, You're hard to please. What about other more easy going European nations like Italy, for example? Maybe they're showing respect to American officials.

Could I think musks should be placed under a mandatory psychiatric hold.

This guy has thirteen to fifteen children around the world. He's a junkie, a nutcase.

Come on, hey, hey, hey, hey, you can't talk about musk like that. You're not one of his kids, although statistically you might be. Wait, am I who cares what Europe thinks with their delicious foods and generous paid parental leave. Sometimes it's your closest friends and neighbors that see the best in you. Like our syrup Somlier's in Canada. Sure, we put an economically crippling tariff on them, but we're still friends. Right, Give us some of that friendly respect you're known for.

In a country known for its politeness, This morning growing outrage.

Many of them now boycotting American goods and travel here.

This is my last Sigmerican PRODUCTA social media erupting with calls to buy Canadian and boycott USA.

So you can bye bye America and you can buy Canadian.

You love that, right, apply for that.

You've even that Canadian morning show's been mean to us. Keep in mind the rest of that show is just the co host apologizing that the weather isn't nicer. Guys, we even lost Canada. Is there anyone in the world that still respects us?

These are not action swan dust to a friend, totally unnecessary and stupid.

The madness of a mentally ill.

Man the biggest assault we have seen since the end of the Second World War.

The mess they use is dumb mess.

They've been calculated in a way that makes back of the envelope Crayola crayon scrawlings look like the work of Isaac Newton.

Oh that felt like going through. It's a small world. But all those puppet children are telling us to write off. So there you have it. Donald Trump promised we'd be respected like never before, and technically we have reached never before seen levels of respect. So that's why this week I'm ranking America's respectiveness at stepmom, who insists we call her mom, but we're still gonna call her Joyce. Better luck next round, America.

Thank you, Desie, let me come back, and not that Desie. You're nice to tell you driving on the shelves, we don't go light.

Welcome back to the Day show my guests tonight, as an Emmy nominator writer and comedian, will be out on the road to a new stand up comedy tour.

Please welcome. My good friend is nimes Ford.

We welcome.

Look at us two guys on TV.

Everybody man, so.

People know it's I.

When I came to New York City as a civilian in twenty eleven, uh, and I was I wasn't living in America even I came over and I came to New York City for the first time, and I was trying to do stand up comedy New York City. And I went to open mic night and there was three people at this open mic night. One of them was like some white dude, some of some other dude forgettable. The third person was you, and you hosted the show and you gave me some stage time.

And now here we are and here we are, yeah yeah, and you and.

When we did the show, we did a show and you were super nice to me and you treat you didn't care that in an accent.

You didn't treat me like some foreigner.

And which is more than which is more than I can say for the last Indian guy who was on this show.

So thanks, thanks for being a cool person.

I'm here for his spots. I've been on the road for so long it's so good to be back in New York.

I was. I was on the way here, and it's true. I was with my Indian fan.

We're walking and this homeless guy goes look at these two computers, and I missed that kind of racism. It's just like, you don't want to control all the week homeless.

What is he talking about?

But even though homeless guys in New York know what's up, know enough to be specific with the racism.

What were you when you when we met in twenty eleven, you were ex law school.

I was still in law school.

I was. I was studying for the by exam and you were n YU.

I was fine.

I had just graduated two years from graduating at n y U as a pre med finance.

I was pre mad finance, pre mad finance. Why are you cheering that none of none of them worked out?

Pre Med finance is like the most kick aside.

I wanted.

I wanted to be like this evil private equity managed doctor.

I was I want.

When I joined n y U, I was gung ho on being a cardiat pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon.

Sorry, I love that.

Pre med finance is like I can't decide whether I want to help people or kill.

People, but it was definitely there was definitely some good intent. And then I saw all my finance friends like, oh, yeah, that seems fun.

Being evil seems fun.

Yeah, but I was.

I was gung ho and being pediatric carty thoracic surgeon. And then I got a C plus in organic chemistry. I was like those kids, and I'm never I'll never forget. I'm sure you have a moment where like you called your parents like I'm not doing law school anymore.

No, I never told you.

You never told us.

They still don't know.

Yeah, I called my mom. I called my mom.

It's a mom, I'm dropping pre med and she screamed, I've never heard a scream that loud since, like someone like she screamed us if someone told her I was dead. And she was like, what we pay for your school to repay us, You're gonna up running a liquor store just like your dad, and my dad's in the corner like I do. And then I support my family and I did. Then I did finance, and I graduated in wait with a finance degree, and that obviously did not work out.

But the problem is like, I'm not.

All my friends friends are finance millionaires, and I still think I could do finance, Like I still think I know math, you.

Know alone everyone thinks apparently every in America thinks they can do find it.

Yeah, and I've learned that I should just stick to jokes. As I was out to dinner with all my friends, Hedgmung guy, one of the good ones, and and he's telling me he was up, like he's managing ten billion dollars and he's up seventy percent on the year.

I'm like, you're up seven hundred million dollars. He's like, no, man, that's that's seven billion dollars.

Like, oh yeah, I'll stick to the jokes.

Okay.

Yeah, So what's what's going on with Indians and mega.

As as the Indian representative?

No, I mean that is something interesting.

Yeah, look like that's Trump's dei Indian people, the dick eating Indians. Dude, there's so many there's so many Indians that love Donald Trump, like vive that Ramaswami. Yeah, some Indians and yeah, yeah another Harvy guy.

It was your Harvard guy.

I appreciates the Hova guy.

I mean, what a what a herb that's if you don't know what a herb is.

A herb is what we call people in the nineties when they're being herbs like he's he's a herb. He's he ran for president and lost. Obviously, he ran for president and his main thing was his opening line was God is real? Why do he make you five to seven? B deck, that's the guy. I don't know if he's five to seven, but he has five seven energy. And then I won't say his name again because if you say it more than three times, he just pops.

Up under the desk. What's in the permative action, guys?

And then there's mis who I'm praying for. I'm hoping she has Stockholm syndrome because otherwise why but really you have to and then and then of course, of course the King cash Betel. If you don't, I'm not saying it about cash Betel. I'm trying to not try to get one of these one way tickets.

El Sala.

If you don't know Cash Hotel, you guys don't seem that concerned. But every Indian knows Cash Hotel. But if you don't know him, he's he's the director of the FBI, and people don't seem worried about him. But his real name is Gush shap Promode the Node Patel. He grew up in racist ask Long Island with the name gush ship Promode the Node Patel. He is out for revenge. You should be very concerned.

I'm not a man.
