Pelosi Won't Seek Re-Election | Former President Barack Obama

up for you tonight. We're all going back to the moon. Republicans are storming the house again and herschel Walker gets involved in a fight between werewolves and vampires. Plus we're being joined by one of my favorite black American presidents, Barack Obama's daring every day. So let's do those people. Let's sound straight into today's headlines. All right, people, I'm gonna be honest with all the news happening right now. I don't think we have enough space in today's show.

There's not enough time. And I tried everything. I tried everything. I even tried putting the news in the sauna so it could sweat it out for a little while, but it didn't work. The news just came out glistening and sexier than ever. But we still don't have enough time. Fortunately, though not enough time, it's just enough time for a segment week Hall you nobody got time for that. Let's kick things off with the Moon a k a. Ashy Earth. The last time humans set foot on it was nine

of any two. But now we might finally be getting a sequel. NASA going back to the Moon for the first time in five decades, launching the most powerful rocket in the world into space, kicking off its high stakes Artemus one mission. This is a test flight with test dummies, but if this succeeds, astronauts could do the same in two years, and NASA says that this really opens the door to a whole new world of space exploration. The long term goal here is to set up a base

on the Moon where people can actually live. Yes, unlike Crypto, we are actually going through the Moon. And before you hate us not saying, oh, do we really need to go back to the Moon, Yes we do, of course

we do. Was Aldrin left his keys up there, You've been locked out of his house for fifty three years, and you know, I's thinking it, wouldn't it be funny if when we got back up there, we find out that the original astronauts and a bunch of crazy ship that they can tell us about, Like the new astronauts step out and there's a bunch of moon babies that looked like Neil Armstrong and it was just like, Daddy, you're finding it back from your trip to get cigarettes, Like, wait,

why are you still babies? Now? As much as I love space travel, and I really do, my one issue with NASA is why do they keep using Greek names? Huh? This program is Artemis, The old one was Apollo. Why does NASA's update things, you know, name rockets off to today's mythical heroes. Everyone, we're sending Artemus to the moon

ball ring. Everyone, We're sending John Wick to the moon. Now, if we had more time, we could talk about whether humans should be going anywhere in the universe, given the fact that we can't even get COVID under control down here, because if we're not careful, we might turn into the con Cristodors of the Solar system, right, just like is there life on Mars? There was? But we don't have time to talk about life forms in space because there

are some new life forms coming to Congress. How Speaker Nancy Pelosi just said that she will not seek a leadership position in the new Congress. Her and anouncement comes after Republicans won control of the House of our Presentatives in the midterm elections. With great confidence in our caucus, I will not seek reelection to Democratic leadership in the next Congress. Yes, that's right. It is a new era in Congress. Nancy Pelosi is stepping down and Republicans have

officially one control of the House. And this time they did it without shooting on the floor. That's growth, that is growth. And you know, Kevin McCarthy might be happy right now. You know that he's he could replace Nancy Pelosi next year Speak of the House. But remember remember half of his caucus believe in Jewish space lasers that stole the election using Venezuelan mind control. So good luck to him controlling them. Yeah, he's gonna be trying to

get more tax cuts for corporations. Meanwhile, they'll be like, poa, we want a subpoena. Hunter of Biden's pains, bring it here. Put that painters under oath. And you know, Republicans are finally gonna learn that being in charge brings its own set and promises. You know, you've got it. You've got to deliver. You know, you have to deliver on your campaign promises. That's that's a challenge. Was the number one

issue that they campaigned on, Joe Biden. And now that they want voters will be expecting them to Joe Biden. They have to do it. They have to go through the steps they said it not me. Yeah, they're gonna have to possibility to ask him out. They're gonna have to agree, you know, on the restaurant to take him out too. And then when they take him home, they're gonna have to listen to his stories before he lets

them smash. They're gonna see a people never tell you about the time I set him about the pool marriage A great time, is nigga? Yeah, good luckkeeping her heart on through that, Republicans. Now, if we had more time, we could talk more about all the news coming out of America's politics. For instance, we could talk about the Senate moving closer to protecting gay marriage finally. Oh, we could talk about Tellen Bess becoming Allen's first female mayor,

or we could talk about you. Ever, the next Speaker of the House will be able to beat Nancy Pople. He's high school on the stock market. But we don't have the time for that, because that's one man who God forbid might be joining these people in the Capitol, and boy is he gonna be bringing the greatest hits. Watching this movie called Friday Night for to Night and some kind of night, but it was about vampires. But I'm gonna tell you something that I found out a

ware wolf could kill a vampire. Did you know that? I never knew that, so I didn't want to be a vampire. The more I want to be a ware of wolf. So I'm watching my TV of these kids watching dead TV. That got jumped in front of this holy world, threw it on the vampire forehead. He covered his eye, then he took his hand away. He started last word, He took the curls, he put it on the vampire forehead and the vampire didn't even do anything. He said, that don't work, And that's the way it

isn't our life. It ain't even working unless you got faith. You gotta have faith in this country. You gotta have faith in this in the elected officials. And right now, that's the reason I'm here. Step aside, get his bug a dressed America has been your greatest speech of all time, because you tell me the last time you heard a

speech about vampires, werewolves, faith, politics, and garlic? Huh? And I don't know if herschel Walker should be a U. S. Senator, but he should definitely be elected as America's official movie reviewer. Did you hear that? I want to watch that movie. I don't even know what it was. He should do this for every movie y'all seen the Little Mermaid? This was more of the fish, but her boyfriend do it for in the old Ship. And because of an octave push, she lost that voice. And we need a new voice

in Washington. And now that Little Mermaid is black tank. You relates to Jenner tifty. Now, if only we had more time, we could watch more of herschel Walker's speech. Oh, we could talk about how Elon Musk said that he will eventually let someone else run Twitter, which is a genius idea that everyone else had before he took over. We could talk about how this ft X crash could actually bring all of Crypto down because of the regulators

looking into crypto. We could talk about how Congress might be bringing ticket Master in for hearings, because I guess they couldn't get Taylors with tickets either. But we don't have the time for any of that because there's someone backstage by the name of Barack Obama and we gotta make time to speaker. Got to go, don't go away.

I don't know about welcome back again. Our guest tonight is he had to discuss the inaugural Obama Foundation Democracy Forum and how he's training the next generation of young leaders in the US and around the world. Please welcome the forty four President of the United States, Barack Obama. Oh, I don't do what you're doing. A good thank you. Yeah, that's what UM. I should have I should I should have brought Michelle here. So this is this is how I'd like to be greeted when I come home. But

I think that Michelle's the star. Mr President. Welcome to the day to show. It is wonderful to see you. Do you miss your name, by the way, because everyone calls you Mr. President? But like I feel like I would like if people call me like Mr Daley. I would miss just been called Travior. Do you miss your name? Sometimes my best friends call me Barack. You should probably Mr President. You know, welcome to the show. Um, let's

let's start with I mean the most pressing us. The mid terms just have and you know, America voted, the House is flipping, Democrats have held onto the Senate. Many credit you for coming out and and pushing out, you know, people to vote. I would love to know two parts to that. You know. Number one, do you do you

feel pressure whenever you ast to come up. It's like in the movies when you know they need that home run and the basis are loading, the team's losing and they go, but Rock, we need you to hit this out of the park. We might lose everything. Do you feel the pressure? Does it get to you? And and second of all, what does it say about the state of the Democratic Party that they always need you to

come out and do that before election? Look, I think that the reason we did better than expected can be attributed to not me or uh, you know, anything I did, But it has to do with a We recruited some excellent candidates. Uh you look like good? Uh Westmore in Maryland Josh Shapiro and Pennsylvania. You look at our Senate candidates, you know a John Fetterman and Mark Kelly Um. They are committed, passionate, down to earth. They connect with people UM and so I come in mainly to shine a

spotlight on them. So that's point number one. And the second thing that happened in in this mid term, and we've seen it now for three elections. So I'm starting to feel pretty hopeful that this is a habit. Young people are voting and you've got higher It has been many times remarked how I got thumped during mid terms during my presidency, and part of it was that voting rates were really low. People In some sense, I think a lot of Democrats felt, all right, Obama's there will

be okay. And you know, if it turns out that McConnell and Baynard and others suddenly have power, then that greatly restricts what a president can do. And I think that lesson was learned. Trump comes in and suddenly and now this one, you've seen young people come in and they're typically voting at a rate of seventy to thirty, sixty to forty Democrat to Republican and that makes a huge difference. And so there, but enthusiasm, I think is

what really drove this election. I agree with that in terms of the people who actually voted, but young people don't seem to be turning out as much. You know. So the ones who did vote votes an overwhelmingly Democrats. But then the number of young votes seems to be dwindling from election to election, and many young votes are saying they feel disillusion They feel like America hasn't made

away for them, they don't see a future for themselves. Well, look, what is always true is young people are going to vote at slightly lower rates than old people like me, because maybe I better things to do. Michelle and I are sitting at home, you know, eating dinner, kind of run out of things to say. Well, let's go about young people. Millie and Sasha, they're out and they got all kinds of stuff. So, uh so that's always going to be the case that that young people are voting

rates are a little bit lower. They are higher now than they were in the mid terms when I was president, and in such a polarized environment, one to three percent, if they're turning out at instead of eight percent, makes a difference that can make an enormous difference. Right when you look at that tiny difference, you still see the places where, I mean, people got into power despite the fact that they deny elections. I think Republicans got a

hundred and seventy election deniers into Congress. People who don't believe in the way America's running its elections, people who don't believe Joe Biden should be president, or they you know, they'll be vague about the answers. What do you what do you think it says about American democracy that so many people are getting elected to these positions when they seem to dismiss the election itself. Well, the the interesting thing is you notice election deniers don't deny their own election.

Funny how that works, um, How many of them actually believe that? Uh, some of the nonsense that that circulates, versus those who think it's convenient or it's a way to own the Libs, or it's a way to send a message, um or align themselves with Trump. That's hard to say. But what is important is that because of some really concerted efforts in a lot of important states, some of the most egregious, prominent, and potentially dangerous election deniers.

They got thumped, they got beat and particularly in these Secretary of States races and in some cases governors races, where you know, the next presidential election you could have somebody who could really we do some damage there. I think we held the line. Now. What it does say, more broadly is the fact that, uh, not just here in the United States, but around the world, the fundamental

precepts of democracy are being challenged. M We're not having arguments about policy, but we're having arguments about the the rules of the game, which previously we all agreed to write. There was a notion that, all right, we run elections, whoever gets the most votes actually wins. The loser concedes,

goes back and tries to do better next time. UM. And what we've seen now, for a whole host of reasons, is a creeping sense that, um, if the outcomes not what we want, then we can do whatever we want and say whatever we want in order for us to win.

And UH, that is profoundly dangerous. And as I said, it's it's not unique to the United States, but when it happens in the United States, it sends a signal all around the world that weakens democracy and and and that's why I think us getting our house in order is so important when when you look at the discourse in the country as well, and and and around the world. But again, I think you're correct in that America as a leader in what's happening right now, the discourse has

become so toxic. You you were in every single state, you were meeting with people all the way from Iowa, you know, through to California. Where wherever you you were meeting people on the ground, they were listening to you. There was an openness even though people had different political affiliations. It seems like that has eroded over time. And I wonder what you make of that. Where where do you think it's coming from. Do you think social media think?

Do you think it's the tenor of politicians in the capital? Two things. The biggest change that's taken place when I ran for let's say US Senate in Illinois. You go down state, that's the South. I mean, it's rural, it's conservative. There are a lot of folks who look like you or me. Um and certainly there are more Trevors than there are Brucks in these areas. But Um and uh so. Uh. And I'm driving around, I've I've got you know, map

for young people here that it's this paper thing. You can't figure out how to fold it back, but it's how you find your way on roads. Um and uh. But I go into a town and it'd be Republican, a lot of evangelicals, et cetera. But I could go to a diner or a VFW hall or uh county fair. I could go to the local newspaper and the owner there's conservative and he's got a bowtie and buzz cut. He's kind of skeptical about my ideas. But there wasn't the filter that had been aided by Fox News or

the media infrastructure, the sort of right wing conspiracy theory. Uh, you know folks. And so they came at me with an open mind, and I could I could listen to them, and they could listen to me, and at the end of the day they might say, well, he's a little liberal for our taste, but we have something in common. He talked about, you know, his mom getting sick. I remember my mom getting sick. You know, it seems like

he loves his kids. I love my kids, And there was some sense of connection and I think the filter now has become so thick. It started I think with Fox News and some of the other uh uh you know, traditional media, and now with social media, that's gotten turbo charged. If you go into those same communities now, they have so many preconceptions about what somebody like me believes, cares about, etcetera,

that it's very hard to penetrate. So I think the the the answer is both thinking about information flow and media and how do how can we break through that information bubble that people are in. That requires, by the way, progressives to get out of their media bubble because we've got some preconceptions that I think create barriers as well, and then working a lot more locally um because you noticed that when you're on the ground doing stuff, it's

harder to stereotype people. And the nationalization of our politics I think has been damaging. The more we can focus on grassroots efforts, real world rather than just virtual meetings m conversations, that's what, over time, I think can can help strengthen democracy. And that's part of what you know, our EMPSIS has been at the at the foundation is with young leaders who are working on the ground, coming up with new ideas to create those connections. Well, I

definitely want to speak to you about that. I want to speak to about democracy worldwide. I want to speak to you about disinformation and what we can do to immunize ourselves from it. But we gotta take a quick break. We'll be right back after this with more from President to us about bold Welcome back to the Daily Show. We are still here with President Barack Obama chatting democracy, disinformation and who has better looking between us? I want

let's start. Let's you other. The real question is how will they look what he's sixty attractive when they're in the almost almost almost almost. Let's run all over. Let's talk about planswer, Let's talk about your your your foundation, Let's talk about what you're doing. We see you out there, you know, we see you talking about democracy. The world isn't a really interesting place in that. You know, a few years ago and I think the world was had of the world was you know, you could say the

countries were democratic. Democratic, you know, they had they had elections, people won those elections, there was an exchange of power, et cetera. And now I think seventy percent of the world is living in a state where they either ruled where it's a complete, you know, autocracy, or it isn't a democracy. Two things again, One, why do you think

the world has gotten there? You know, if if democracy and freedom all things that everybody wishes to have, why does it seem like the world is moving away from that? And then secondly, what can we do or why should we then try to get back to this democracy? If you look at the trend lines, there are a bunch of factors. I think globalization, the global economy, disrupted a

lot of traditional societies. What do you mean, Well, you know, uh, the global supply chain eliminates industries, eliminates jobs, increases, Uh, you know, the wealth gap not only between countries but within countries. Right. So, and then modernity challenges people's traditional notions of religion and family and general roles. And you've

got these culture clashes. Right, You're in some village in Yemen and suddenly your kid has a phone and it's looking at the Kardashians and right and and you're so, so you get this vertigo and what happened, what you've seen happen, I think in a whole bunch of places is essentially a pushback a backlash to change that is

happening too fast uh for their comfort. And when people are pushing back against change, then they're vulnerable to politicians who say, you know what, I can make things just like it was back then when you were feeling more important, you had higher status. You know, you didn't have people who don't look like you suggesting somehow that yeah, you're doing something wrong, um, that somehow your traditions are flawed. And and that appeal usually also involved saying the problems

you're feeling are somebody else's fault. It's it's those folks there, it's immigrants, it's gays, it's hind News, it's Muslims, it's so forth and so on and uh. And that then gets turbo charged with the information issues that we talked about. Um. And look, democracy requires by definition getting along with people who don't agree with you. Uh. And the other thing that happens is these countries are becoming less homogeneous, right.

And so you just had a um, a right wing party in Sweden, which we always used to Swedes right there, so chill and democratic, right. But if you've got a whole bunch of immigrants coming in, suddenly people start getting nervous and and so part of what I think we have to do is to stand fast on the principles of equality and self governance and representation and everybody gets

a seat at the table. But I think we have to also find a language and a story, a way of telling the story about how we can get together that does not threaten people who are uncomfortable with change as much um and and that's you know, going to be different for different countries. But I'll give you an example. There's a young leader who we worked with from Slovenia, she's part of our network, who was an advocate for

doing something about domestic violence. The laws of that country didn't have domestic violence was a real problem, ran a referendum, it got crushed, and we've worked with her and suggested, well, maybe you want to talk to the people who didn't vote for it. So she goes out to these rural villages with these um older, traditional rural, very religious, very conservative women and just interviewed them and listen to them

and talk to them. And it's not that they agreed with domestic abuse, it's that they thought their way of life was being challenged. She adapted their language, ran the referendum again a few years later in the past right, because she adopted the language that made them feel as if, Okay, this is not so much of a earthquake a huge change in how we live, but it's rather affirming our best values, and I think us finding ways to do

that in a consistent way will help um. But it's hard. Yeah, look for most of human history, democracies, relatively recent vintage, it's a blip. Yeah, tribe, uh, you know, nation, state, race, sect you know, that's typically been how we organize things. And it's always easy to say us versus them, that that's that's the easy politics. What what democracy demands is always a little bit more difficult. It also feels like,

you know when when when you observe it. There are two elements that I that I often see is, on the one hand, storytelling. As you said, it's often easier to tell a story of blame. Why are things going wrong? It's because of that person. It's simple. There's the person that we we we've solved it. Why are things going wrong? Well, there's a confluence of factors. And you have this and you have the economy. You gotta understand the supply to that's not an answer for many people. And when you

sell freedom, they god, I don't. I can't eat freedom. I can't buy a house with freedom. I can't, you know. And then the second part is what you're talking about, you know, the the US versus them, the who is

and who isn't. Sometimes I think for many people it feels like it feels like the populists come in and just do you know whether it is in Brazil, you know, whether it's most Sonarrow, you know, with it's in America with Trump with it they go, they're just gonna do, and whether they do or don't actually do, it feels like they're gonna do. But then some people go, oh, but when we get the freedom people they want to talk and they want to discuss, and it seems incremental

and it seems like things won't change. Is there a way to combat that, because it is a feeling a lot of the time. Well, yeah, Look, if you want to be a progressive, pluralists, tolerant democrat. Uh and I don't mean small D democrat, I don't mean democratic party. Um, you know you can't be a worse I mean you you you You've got to have a story that with

some swag. You got to be able to sell the future and and deliver and uh, and also call out the fact that what those folks say they're gonna do, they almost never do, right, Because the truth of the matter is is that UM, when you look at we we have experiments those countries that have the ability to harness everyone and everybody participates and there's consent and people feel like, all right, this is working for us versus places that um are failed states. You know, the track

record of democracy is is pretty good. But you know, we have to be forceful in making our argument. And what is true is that UM, you know, we can't just talk. We gotta walk the walk, which is why you know we're having a form in New York. One of the topics that we're talking about is inclusive capitalism.

It people are when you think about, let's say here in the United States, there's greater appeal of right wing populism in a lot of commun in these rural communities that they're not wrong that the economy, the global economy has shifted away from them to urban centers, even in their own states. And so the opportunities in Austin, Texas are different than in a rural community in these Texas,

um and people notice that. So we have to spend some time thinking about how are we delivering on behalf of people whose lives who used to work in a factory, who used to uh, you know, farm for a living and have have dignity and worth and stability and security in those lives, and now suddenly they don't feel as if they've got the lottery ticket in this in this

existing economy, that does have to be addressed. And in places like Africa, um, you know, right now you have let's say, China coming in heavy presence in a lot of these countries, providing a lot of foreign ai, a lot of strings attached, a lot of Chinese workers coming

into build big buildings. But if we're not there, if we're not helping build that road, if we're not there to uh build that port, then naturally people are going to start thinking, well, maybe that's a that's a recipe for bettering my life, as opposed to you know, some flowery language but has nothing behind it. I wonder, though, do you think inclusive capitalism is somewhat of a paradox?

You know, it feels like it feels you think it's because it feels it feels like I mean, capitalism is designed to extract as much wealth as possible from every single interaction that can look you know, I mentioned yea Sweden and some of the problems they're having because immigration. I'm the other hand, you look at Scandinavian counters. They're

capitalist countries, but some and those work very well. But some people would argue that their foundation is more you know, socialists, and then they go with it's it's almost like they go with with socialists first and then capitalism is our undercurrent. Not really, you know, if you go there, essentially they people are taxed more and they have more common goods. But you're still going around at a job and you

get paid. You know, you can't. It's not like you're going into the store just grabbing whatever you want walking out, but the fish man you gotta pay for it right then the guy registers check and did American profit here today? But the reason I'm asking that is because and maybe it's the words that fail us sometimes. I often, you know,

I'll talk to my friends about this. It's interesting that we sort of stopped, we went, oh, the socialism is you know, there's this there's the communism, this capital and then we just stopped like this is it? This capitalism? And that's that. I sometimes wonder is there not something better it is? Then something could be? I think there

is I should be is inclusive caist. The reason I just used let's say a Denmark as an example is not because it's gonna work perfectly in India, the United States, etcetera. The point though, is is they've they've got some blend, some mix, right. There is an advantage in terms of efficiency and also freedom to a market system. You have a control system. You know, some guy in office is deciding how many potatoes we're going to grow this year.

That usually doesn't work. The flip side of it is that what we've also learned is that if some guy in a boardroom is deciding I'm gonna ravage the environment to do whatever I want, that doesn't work either. So

we're gonna have a blend of some sort. We want some collective decision making about the social good, and we want something that's efficient to dynamic and allows us to exercise our innovation and freedom, and we don't need to worry so much about the labels as we do about being practical and thinking about what's working and what isn't. And this is going back to the information issues. This is part of why to me, one of the biggest challenges in democracy is not just the mechanics of elections

or uh, the independent judiciary. Those things are all important, but this is why this information and media issue is so important, because what we've seen here in the United States and elsewhere is a a abandonment of a commitment to facts and reason and logic and you know, stuff that is useful, uh and and necessary. And if we can't have a debate based on facts, then we can't get to better solutions. Right we start talking in slogans and nonsense and there's no reality check. We just make

stuff up. I didn't lose an election. You know, there's something broken over there, um and and it doesn't and and it's impervious defects. So so part of what I think, why I've been spending a lot of time thinking about this, uh, this information issue, is how do we and how we teach our kids in you know, either industry standards or and or regulation of these social media platforms. How do we get back to the point where you can have

opinions we all do. But facts matter, and and proof matters, and and our capacity to debate and say, you know what, if we do things this way, it might work better. And then you may disagree, but at least we we agree to a set of rules whereby we can I have a better solution. It's possible to get to that place when almost tough. Let's talk about the United States. Almost half the country says, well, what all those rules?

And why are you even deciding them? And why are we having this conversation You are not even affect How do you, honestly mean, how do you get to that place with people were not The interesting thing is, even in those places that are just inundated with what I considered to be nonsense and lies and distortions, when people operate in their own lives, they're still operating on facts right on their jobs. When they're coaching their kids the

league or their soccer game. In football, they don't let the ref just kind of say, you know what, this time, we're just gonna get five points for the touchdown. It's like wait, wait, wait, folks on the sidelines saying no, it's six points for the touchdown. And then you get the extra went and so we abide by all kinds

of facts in our own lives. It's just this national story that is being told where we allow lies to be told, and we accept them mainly because it turns out there when we tell a story about the other side, it makes us feel better. It's like, you know, Trevor, he's a jackass. You should see and you're happy to be sitting there, and and uh and and and so we enjoyed the performative aspects of making stuff up and and part of that is because we don't think there

are consequences to it. Now, what we've learned from the election of my successor, from the pandemic, from the insurrection is actually the stories we tell do matter. And you know, having some baseline of sticking to the truth when you're telling stories about our country, about policy, but also about the other side, that matters. Um and and I I like to think that part of what happened in this election is people said, okay, you know what, some of

this stuff is getting a little too crazy. It turns out that there is a you know, a majority of country that does prefer normal not crazy. And that's and that's is is that's a basis for hope. I've talked to you for hours about this. I know you don't

have the time. UM, it has been wonderful having you here, though it's also been wonderful seeing you know what what you're getting up to, because after you you know, we have the pleasure of interviewing at the White House just before you left, and then afterwards, I saw you kite surfing and I I loved it. I loved it. By the way, um, great technique. But I often wonders, like, you know, what is Mr President going to do next?

Where does he going? You know, you started producing shows about issues around the world, and now you've got this forum. I wondered if maybe you know you have any tips for me as you know, because well because because you I mean, you know, like we're basically the same. You know, we guys are gonna same, you know, you know, I'll think, Um, I think you're gonna have to uh really focus on

relearning things like driving, pressing your own elevator buttons. I think, what was the last time you heard the drag platers? That's I go. I taken myself. Yeah, we have very you You you don't like you're very like. You know, that's like I said, you missed the president forever. You have secret service forever.
