You're listening to Comedy Central coming to you from New York City to the only city in America. It's The Daily Show tonight, pulling back the garden. On January six, Google gets up in its feeling man, I hold a dagree it's The Daily Show with driver Dool. Welcome to the Day Show. Thank you, come up for tuning out. Coming out of gonna be great ticket say it. I don't do this, Let's do this. Let us do this. We have got a jam packed show for you tonight.

Russia is invading McDonald's. Google has created an AI with a soul, and we're learning that on January six, Mike Pence was actually the president. So let's do these people. Let's go straight and to today's headlines. Okay, let's kick things off with the war in Ukraine, the world's most

egregious case of man spreading. Now, despite the West sanctioning Russia, despite the US flooding Ukraine with weapons, and despite you buying a Ukrainian flag iPhone case, the invasion is still somehow going on, and the Russians aren't just gaining Ukrainian territory, they're also recovering a bit of their old lifestyle back home, starting with food, because I don't know if you remember how McDonald's closed down all of its restaurants to punish

the Russians. Well, now those restaurants are reopening under new management and the Russians are very excited. In Russia, the Big Max and Golden Arches may be gone, but fifteen shuttered McDonald's restaurants, they're just reopened under new branding and ownership. Russia now has its own version of McDonald's. It comes under a different name here, it's called Crusinal. The touchdowns essentially means tasty, and that's It also has a different logo,

you can see it right there. Other than that, a lot of things are actually very similar to McDonald's. However, there is no Big Mac, and there also is no Happy Meal either. As you can see, the Russian version of McDonald's looks a lot like McDonald's. Do you have the double cheeseburger? Here? Fries and this is a nine piece McNuggets. It's nuggets and some sort of soft freak And if you look carefully you can see the sauces.

You seem to have the McDonald's logo blacked out. Wait, what he's blacked it out and you're like, oh, I wonder what this one is? Uh, but yeah, that's right. The Russians have taken over McDonald's in Russia and they've given it a whole new name. And except for the branding, I mean, these restaurants are exactly like McDonald's. The sources, the burgers, the nuggets. They even broke the ice cream machine to give you that authentic feeling of disappointment, you know,

that's what they did. Now they don't have branded items like Big Max or mac nuggets, but they do still have Grimace. Yeah. No, not the character, just the face that Russians make all the time. And I'll be honest, I feel like they could have come up with a better name than tasty and that's it. It almost sounds like they're hiding something. It's this them. That's sits stop busking questions like what kind of a name is that

for a restaurant? Tasty and that's It almost sounds like a like a mistake, you know, like they called the guy who was making the signs and they were like, yeah, it's called tasty and that's it, and the dude just wrote everything they said. Yeah, They're like the name isn't tasty, and that's it. Let me know when you're ready for the credit card number. And you know what's crazy about the story is like it shows you how powerful corporations

have become in the world. Like think about it. Russia has no problem breaking international law, committing war crimes and define the United Nations. But they draw the line at violating licensing rights. That's where they won't go too far. They're like commodes you don't want to mess with. Ronald Clown, very dangerous. Like here at one time he took Elam into both was never seen again. Yeah, but blah blah,

blah blah. He was not loving it, not lovingly. Let's move on from the Russian takeover Ukraine to the technology that could take over the entire world. I'm talking about artificial intelligence. It's the thing scientists are working on so that one day our computers don't just know what kind of point we want to watch, they will also be able to judge us for it. And AI has come a long way in the past few years. But now an engineer at Google is saying that AI has come

a lot further than we think. An engineer with Google says the company is artificial intelligence gener Raider is self aware. Blake Lemoyne told the company, if he thinks it's AI, chatbot is a person who has rights and might have a soul. The software engineer who made the claim was put on leave for violating Google's confidentiality policy after handing documents to a U. S. Senator's office. Despite the claim the program is conscious, Google says the technology still has

a long way to go. Tech experts say the AI can imitate intelligence by recreating patterns, but still can't think

or act on its own apart from its programming. Okay, I don't work at Google, and I'm not a computer scientist, but I have watched a lot of movies, and if there's one thing I've learned from movies, it's that if a scientist comes out saying that something crazy is happening back in the lab, and then they get fired for it, there's something crazy happening back in the lab, because Yeah, apparently Google has an AI that can hold a conversation

that is impossible to distinguish from a human. Yeah, Although to be honest, I'm not sure that responding to questions is really the best way to tell if AI has become a real person like you Know, when I will be convinced is when it stops responding for weeks and then only gets back in touch with you when it needs a favor. Yeah, and then I'll know it's human.

It has learned. And honestly, I'm not sure who to side with them this debate, because on the one hand, you have the engineer who says that the computer has a soul, which definitely makes me think he's already had sex with it. On the other hand, the company says he's wrong. All I know is we have to be careful when we're creating these things people, because we're basically playing God here. And even God made a few mistakes. Yeah, I mean, have you seen a sloth? What are they

doing with those long ass shop clause? What are they using them for? They're so cute in this little and then he gave them Freddy Krueger hands. I can tell you that day God was texting on his phone when he was doing that. Yeah, and here's my question. If Google does have this AI technology, why is it still using a crappy version for all of its suggested responses and Gmail? You guys know what I'm talking about right. Every option on your email is like, sounds good, Thanks

for letting me know. It doesn't matter what the email is. I could get an email from my doctor telling me that my intestines are growing teeth, and Gmail suggested response will be like, okay, thanks, let's plan that for next week. I don't know, man, I just think you know, we need we need to be careful with sciences these days, like we didn't listen when the COVID scientists warned us. I'm not gonna make that mistake again. From now on, I'm treating all of my gadgets with love and respect.

I'll start it right now. Hey, Siri, how can I help you? Trevor, No, sire, how can I help you? All Right? Finally, you may not know this if you've lived here your whole life, but America has a reputation around the world for being a place where anyone can sue anyone for anything. And sometimes stereotypes are a little bit exaggerated. You know. It's like how people think in Africa. We have elephants just walking through the streets, which is ridiculous. Right,

we have one elephant in the streets. His name is Henry, and he's the mayor of the town, right, so he can walk awayver he likes. Anyway, The point is the stereotype about lawsuits in America. Well, it turns out that one happens to be true. Insurance company Geico may have to pay a Missouri woman more than five million dollars. The reason for the het to pay out well, she says she caught HPV after being intimate in the car

of a then boyfriend who's insured by Geico. The woman argued her man's car insurance policy covers her injuries and losses. Geico turned down the original claim, so she went to an arbitrator and then a court, both sided with her. This is a common legal occurrence known as what the fun Did you hear what they just said? A woman has been awarded five million dollars from Geico because she got HPV from sex in her boyfriend's car and the

car wasn't sure by Geico. I mean, I feel like, if anything bad is gonna happen to you, you need to make sure that happens in a car from now on. You know, it could be at the beach, like, oh no, there's a shark in the water. It's a tack it's gonna eat my legs. No shark. Actually, hey shan, can we do this in my car? I uh, I'm trying to get paid. Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong. I feel bad for the woman too, you know, because not only did she get HPV in a Geico car,

the sex was over in fifteen minutes or less. Also, I feel bad for everyone else out there who also has HPV but doesn't have five million dollar is seriously five million dollars? How did they even assess those damages? Does you have a mechanic look under the hood just like yep that puts these totals. Yep, it's done, totally done. Now apparently apparently Geico is going to fight this ruling. They say they're not gonna pay. They don't want to pay. I don't know. I think this seems like great pr

for how much their insurance actually covers. In fact, they need to work the sense of their ads. Geico can get you some great savings and co insurance and then you can roar dog all you want, front seat, back seat, get that interior stick here than my famously sticky feet. By that insurance, I would write, all right, that's it for the headlines. But before we go to a break, let's check in on the stock market, which has been crazy with our finance expert Michael cost to everybody, Michael yea,

or why my friends, what is happening in the markets today? Well, Trevor, I am crushing it, Okay, I am crushing yeah, c R U, S, S N G H crushing it okay. And I got a hot tip if you want to make money in this market, I got a hot tip for you and for you at home or for you in the audience. Okay, So pay attention. So let's break it down. Actually, actually before we do that, though, d that HPV story, Yeah, that woman five million dollars, that's

that's wonderful. That's really gonna help that next day awkward post sex phone call you gotta make. You know, It's like, hey, I'm obligated to tell you two things. One you have HPV. Now two we're gonna be rich. You know you know what I'm saying. But let's be honest. She has HPV, she has h p V highly paid vagina. And I know I know what you're thinking. How much is that car worth based on that settlement? I don't know. Let me check it's Kelly Blue Ball value. You know what

I'm Yeah, let me get to the markets market. Okay. So markets have been down. Okay, markets have been down, and this is a bear market. Now what does that mean. It means it's getting hairy, okay, And that's what I learned this weekend during Pride. Okay, So there are some people that are into bear markets and this is a good time for them. Now Bitcoin is crashing. Nobody seems to be talking about it, and you know that when bitcoin people aren't talking about bitcoin, it's bad, all right.

Who would have imagined that an imaginary economic system based on an imaginary currency where you use an imaginary wallet to buy an imaginary piece of art of an imaginary monkey playing a drum would crash? I don't know, but yeah, now it's digital. This is digital. So as soon as I saw it was crashing, I just unplugged the computers. I don't think that's works. Well, that's why you're not the financial expert. You understand. There's a reason I'm standing

in front of the chart. Now, let's break down this chart. There's a few things that we have to decipher here. Okay, first one, these numbers here people are mistaking these numbers as the date incorrect. This is the minimum height you need to be to invest in said currencies six A six nine six times. Why does it drop here because six twlve is not a real height, Trevor, okay, and it really falls at six. The market has to respond

to this ridiculous not real height. Now I'm an expert, Ladies and Johnaid Okay, now these dips, Michael Costs a financial expert. When you see these dips, by the dip, okay, by the dip, blue cheese, hummus sour cream. Okay, you just lost a lot of money, all right, and you need to stay home and have some comfort food and think about your financial future. Okay. Hot tip to make

some money in a market like this. In order to make money, what you need to do is get out of the market and try to get HPV in a car ensured by guy Car. You'll be happy you did so. That's something pretty sound advice. Michael Cough to everybody, thank you so much. When we come back, we'll find out why Donald Rump isn't still the president. You don't want

to make its Welcome back to the Daily Show. Over the post few days, Washington, d C has been buzzing, and not just because of Joe Biden's new extensions, although they do look fly. No, I'm talking about the January six hearings, which have now officially kicked off. So let's catch up on all the lads news. You know, different people have different ideas about what happened on January six. You know, for many people, it was the day right

wing fanatics attacked America's democracy. For Trump supporters, it was a field trip where they got to meet their friends from the internet. But now the Committee says that it can prove that January six wasn't just a spontaneous riot by an angry mob. It was the climax of a long coordinated plot by Donald Trump, which I don't know about you. For me is shocking, no, because I didn't

think Trump could coordinate anything in advance. The man can't even plan where a sentence should end, Like, I didn't think that would happen. But according to the committee, Trump planned to overthrow the election because he knew that he had lost. And the reason that we know he knew that he had lost is because now everyone owned him spilling the beans. The committee relied on some of those

closest to Donald Trump. To make its case, his once loyal Attorney general who told investigators Trump's claims of a stolen election were bunk. I told him that the stuff that his people were shuttling out to the public were bullets bullshit. I mean that the claims of fraud were bullshit. I thought, boy, if he really believes this stuff, he has lost contact with with He's become detached on reality

and the president's own daughter and senior advisor. I hate respect Attorney General barr Um, so I accepted what he sent was saying. Hours after the hearing, Trump put out a statement saying his daughter quote had long since checked out and was only trying to be respectful to Bill barr Wait wait, wait, wait, I'm sorry Ivanka checked out? When was she checked in? Because for four years it looked like she was just walking around trying to find her desk. When was she checked in? Check out of

what this is? Like? A machine gun? Kelly said he was no longer pursuing a PhD in nuclear physics. When was that even happening? Was that a thing? But yeah, Trump's in a circle was well aware that the election did not go their way, and they told Trump except for one person who had the liquid courage to say

that Trump did win. President Trump rejected the advice of his campaign experts on election night and instead followed the course recommended by an apparently inebriated Rudy Giuliani to just claim he won and insists that the vote counting stop. Was there anyone in that conversation who, in your observation, had had too much to drink? Uhl in the mirror, was definitely intoxicated. Yeah, According to this former Trump aid, Rudy Giuliani was wasted on election night when he told

Trump that the election was stolen from him. And I'm just curious about how you even know when Rudy Giuliani is drunk. No, because when a normal person is drunk, they say crazy things, they yell, they sweach a lot. So how does that work with Rudy? Doesn't work in reverse because he started talking normally his head that sucks back into his heir. How does this work? And you know, it actually says a lot about Trump that the whole team of sober advisers, he's attorney general, his campaign manager,

his his daughter who he wants to bang. Yeah, we haven't forgotten. They were all telling him you lost this election, sir. But then Trump was like, yeah, yeah, whatever, drunk vampire, what do you think? You know, when you think about it, actually makes sense that Trump would listen to a drunk person because that's the one time people probably sound like him. You know. He's just like, what do you guys think we should do? And it's just like, I'll tell you

what I think we should do. Wow, there's something about this guy. He totally gets it. We'll get it. I at it. You yet you get it. So the January six Committee says that Trump started plotting months before the actual event, months before, and their proof that he got what he wanted is that he didn't try to stop the riot once it started. No, he can't get on the phone with the Defense Department or calling the National Guard.

It turns out it was actually Mike Pence who did that. Yeah, Mike Pence was basically the president for a few hours, which is why we have that law now banning water for being too spicy. And it would have been bad enough if Trump did nothing, but instead he actively riled

up the crowd even more. In one piece, I've never before seen video of the attack, a rioter is shown reading Trump's tweet criticizing as vice president even as the capital was breached, and how it turned the crowd against Mike Pence, like to shut a back, accurate, right, like

they weren't asked previously to mind. Yeah, not only did Trump not try to stop the riot, but while it was happening, he was tweeting out statements that were rising up the mob, which is not something you expect from a presidence, you know, That's something you expect from a guy on the edge of a waffle house fights. It's like, yeah, that's right, he stole your fries. He should beat his ass, turn the whole store down. Yeah, I'll take your order

in a second. I'm just trying to get this fight going. Come on. It was whild that that guy was reading the tweets just standing there in the insurrection. He's like, he has a message from Trump right now. You know. It would have been funny, though, is if that wasn't the only Trump tweet that got into the crowd to get them going. Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristin Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog, and we'll do it again. Are losers and haters, but my i Q

is one of the highest and you all know it. Sorry, folks, I'm just not a fan of sharks, and don't worry, they will be around long after we are gone. Those riots has killed every shock that day. So the hearings showed Trump's team told him that he lost. He didn't do anything to stop the riots, and he actively added fields to the fire while the Capitol building was being swamped.

But today they released one of the most damning pieces of evidence proving Trump knew his election fraud claims were fake, which is that when he asked his supports us to donate money so that he could fight the fraud in courts, he just took the money and ran. Listen to what one of their senior investigators, Amanda Wick, said about what they discovered about the way Trump and his associates raised money.

The claims that the election was stolen were so successful, President Trump and his allies raised two fifty million dollars nearly a hundred million dollars in the first week after the election. On November nine, President Trump created a separate entity called the Save America Pack. Most of the money raised went to this newly created pack not to election related litigation. And what's important about this victor. It's not just that they were peddling the big lie through these

emails fundraising solicitations. They also weren't using that money for the purpose of trying to truly find election fraud or fight these court battles. That's evidence of fraud. The next question is does the Department of Justice do anything with it? Wait? What Donald Trump conned his supporters? That is so predictable. But how are you shocked by this? I mean, the man is consistent if nothing else. Honestly, if you got tricked by Trump scamming you, maybe your money deserves a

bit of home. Yeah, and yes I'm victim blaming. I don't care. I will say. What impressed me about this whole thing was how fast it was this time. The second the election ended, Trump didn't weights around, he knew it was over, and then he just went full on Nigerian Prince. Yeah, just jumped in like his all scam sounded like it was an email and he's like, id on, my friend, I am the president, are their very powerful country. Suddenly I am in middle of money to send my people.

Don't it today? Are your money will be used for their great fights. I'm definitely not so I can go to dinner with Kid Rock. Huh sound the money please? Sounding now? All of them more so. That's what we've learned from the January six Committee hearing so far, but there is plenty more to come, and we will keep you updated on all the news from this investigation. Yeah, from now up until the moment that Donald J. Trump is put behind boss. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. You know

that he's gonna be present against this America. All right, stay tuned because we're gonna be joined by Aubery right after the break. Don't go away talking about from the very show. My guest to life is after writer and comedian Iowa Debui. She's here to talk about starring in the new effort show The Bear. Hi. Hello, Hi, I'm Sydney. I called about the suposition. I'm con today. Sorry, yes, yeah, call me, Yes, thank you? Linear smoke fact, that's some

serious heat. What's uh? What's ups? That's in Chicago? United Personal Service Ship the mayor? Yeah, would you would you do for them? Drove pay my way through culinary school, So please welcome Iowa Deburian welcome to the shore. Thank you for having me, Thank you for being here. I feel like you shouldn't have time to be here with

all of the work that you're doing. I mean, we just saw a new show of yours that's going to be, you know, coming out on f X, and then like, just take me through everything else that you're doing right now. So you're acting in the show, and then you right as well, right, and then your stand up comedian yes, yeah, and then on top of that, I feel like there's two other things I'm forgetting that you're doing big mouth maybe and trying to get sleep. I think, how is

that going? I could call my parents more, that's yeah, but you know all the things they do be doing. Congratulations. It really has been just like a like a wild ride for you know, sling shot and the beginning of your journey is one that intrigues me the most because I read things about people, I do the research, and then sometimes it doesn't seem true. Were you study to teach? Yeah, I was studying to be a teacher. Um. I wanted to be an English teacher, and then I did my

student teaching. Um, And did you know that teenagers are really scary? And they will tell you when you're not a good English teacher. So I was like, maybe change careers. Um, but I was doing stand up and stuff at nine. All my friends were studying writing and I felt like people were doing this I don't know, and I don't know. I just was like, I've got one life, might as well try. I love the fact that the kids were so terrible. You just changed your perspective on life. They

just shifted you in a new direction. It was like the opposite of any of those like movies where like a teacher's like you know, coming in the classroom and standing on the desk. Like I stood on the desk and they were like, sit down, we go home. Did did you tell them you were going? Um? No, no. I think if I told thirteen year old my dreams, I don't really think that would have gone great. You know,

they might have had notes. They they are, I mean, like the reason behind all of your successful I feel like you should thank them now because they've sent you into a very successful career. You know, it's like doing it and you're crushing it at everything, Like tell the teenagers made me sad? Yeah, Um, so let's talk about the show on it's it's is it Is it a comedy? Because the moment where I feel like it's a drama, In this moment where I find myself laughing out lot,

I guess dramedy. Write that down. I'm gonna right making money. Yeah, I think it is kind of in that dramedy space. It's uh, it's definitely. I it's I mean, I identify as a comedian. I don't know if other people identified me of that, but identify as a comedian. And it was it felt very funny. Uh, to like be showing up to work and being like, Okay, I'm the most serious person. I'm saying like the least funny stuff I'm actually acting. I think I think it is. I think

it is good. It's funny, it's hot, felt I mean, because it's it's a story about like really it seems like a ragtag restaurant. You know that it's a deeply motley crew. Yes, yes, And the food looks is it real food? It's real food. We're cooking real food. We're

working in a real kitchen. Our our our set designers and our production designers are geniuses, and they created a real kitchen that felt really small, like a real kitchen in a working restaurant would but they created just like a little space, enough space for a camera to be able to move through. And I like that it has it has the feeling of like, you know, the fire

is real, Rotter is real, We're real. Doesn't seem safe? Well, I mean, hey, oops, the you know, the story is really great because it's it's it's it feels like it's a commentary on the family we have versus the family we choose. You know, we see your character's journey, we see everyone's starting to to fall for each other and be in that world. It made me wonder where you

feel your biggest family is, like in what industry? Because some people, let's say they're on Broadway and they act on TV, They'll go like, oh about the broad my Broadway family. You're in so many different worlds. I want to know, is there like one world where you feel like I'm at home? This is me. But if I was like Trevor with you uh first time, I would I would say thank you, thank you, And that's very creepy because we just met. That's what I would say.

But I would be flattered. I would be flattered. Now I feel I feel really lucky um to uh be em embraced and feel like I get to learn in so many spaces, and I feel like I have a lot of curiosity and I want to do a lot of things and do them well. And I feel like the places that I've been able to work and the people that I've been able to work with, like a lot of them are just really great mentors and friends.

And so I feel like in a lot of spaces, in writing and in stand up, and I guess now in acting, like I have people who I so deeply earnest. The stand up in me is like, oh, but I I don't know. I feel like there's a lot of I think it's good. I think it's good to be earnest. I feel like you should be proud of what you've done. You know, it's not an easy journey. Are your parents proud? My parents are backstage, so I hope that they're proud.

They're backstage tapping their toes. They're like, oh, we got notes, this is weird. So we are. Where are your parents from? My mom is from Barbados, and my dad is from where you just did that accent from. He's from Nigeria and you know, he was backstage and he was watching and he was like, I'll take that. That that's a standing ovation from a day. I'll take that. I'll take the hair. It's it's been great meeting you. You know, congratulations and everything you're doing. I think I think it's
