Speaker 1

You're listening to Comedy Central from New York City, the only city in America gets the show, and he thinking news. It's the Daily Show with your host, Roy Ward Junior, God Show. What's to do now? Now? Thank you? Now, this is my third night hosting the Daily Show, Settle Down Riders. This is my third night hosting the show, and it's been a blast. It's been a blast. Now. I know if you're tuned in last night, you might have seen the homeboy John Stewart stop buying tonight. Who

knows Beyonce? You gotta speak it to it in existence, manifesting and all that other ship. But we got a great show for you tonight. I'll tell you who was definitely here is the homie Cedric, the entertainer so black. All right, let's kick things off in Westconsin. I like Wisconsin, Wisconsin in the building, I like Wisconsin, Wisconsin, Wisconsin. Only place I've been to that sell cheese as a souvenir.

I like that. You want some cheese before your flight? Yeah, cheese consin cheese curds, no wrapping or nothing, just but naked in my hand. But last night Wisconsin had a critical election for the state Supreme Court, which has national implications for twenty twenty four, they had a far right conservative versus a very left wing liberal. And I don't want to pursue anything about the political beliefs of the

audience in the room right now. You know, I know Daily Show fans hold a wide variety of you that pulling my kid and young Gonna star Clapp and show him the clip still vor political clip in Wisconsin, Democrat Bank Judge Janet how to say where it's has one of the states winally watched Supreme Court race. The court will now be controlled by liberals for the first time in fifteen years. Is conservative opponent doing color had Pushla exactly the election is called in criticized her, calling her

a serial liar. I wish that in a circumstance like this, I would be able to concede to a worthy opponent, but I do not have a worthy opponent to which I can concede. This was the most deeply deceitful, dishonorable, despicable camen I have ever seen run for the courts. And I wish Wisconsin the best of luck, because I think it's gonna need it. Oh, you seem very sad about losing. Would you like some cheese? Now? Hello? I know people think that it's classless to concede like this,

but I'm gonna be straight up. But y'all good from a man. Dude just got his ass beat in front of the whole country, and you want him to be gracious. Congratulations to my opponent, who is clearly a winner, unlike me, a little bitch lose up. Look, I say, as long as you accept the outcome, you get to talk shit. You let me spend millions running and running for judge, and then I lose. I run millions and I lose. Old baby, I'm up on that podium like Samuel L. Jackson. Yes,

they des aren't to die. Hell, but no, Let's move on to the big story, the arrest of Donald J. Trump. Oh you heard about it. Y'all heard about it? Okay. I thought it was just a little under you know, a little Yesterday was a momentous day for Donald J. Trump. He was indicted for thirty four counts of falsifying business records and also one count of clog in the courthouse toilet. They added that one at the last minute. So old Trump.

He went down to the courthouse, looking around stupid for a couple of minutes, and then fled on his private jet to Florida because, as you all know, Florida does not have an extradition treaty with the United States. He rolled up Tomorrow logo and then he waved to a support US and then offered to put a stomb up their buck. It siquickly, what is this? Seriously? Who adds

motion to a thumbs up? It's simple lunch the elbow. Trump, Trump gotta be the first person to add the jerk off motion to a thumba thain't so much for coming out. I really appreciated. So then after all of that, it was time for Trump to give his big speech and sidebar why people still going to Trump speeches like, I get it, I get it. I showed dude. But you know what he gonna say? He said, he said, Donald Trump is a comedian that ain't changed his act in years.

You know what he gonna do. Liberal media be doing this and Joe Biden, Joe Biden, and then they've be doing knee y'all know a line. Come on now, DJ kicking the only the only thing, the only thing that changes year to year. With Trump is who his enemy is for this fight, he's got two new ones. In a defiant speed sh at Marolano, the former president claimed he's a victim and targeted the prosecutor and judge in the case. They can't beat us at the ballot bucks,

so they try and beat us through the law. The criminal is the district attorney. By have a Trump hating judge with the Trump hating wife and family. Who who you don't go to trial and talk shit about the judge. That's bold. The judge couldn't destroy you. He could destroy you when you're rolling them up. You're about to fight cocaine man, you don't offer him crack first. And he didn't just call out the judge. Trump called out the kids. The kid. You don't pull the kids. And even rappers

don't go after the kids. And they learned each other and a Trump said, the man has a Trump Hayton wife. But to be fair, to be fair, I don't even know if that was an insult because Donald Trump also has a Trump Hayton wife. Well, you can't tell me, Milannia, don't hate that man. If anything, this week was confirmation if y'all think, let me ask you this. During Donald Trump's forty five minutes as a political prisoner, where was

his wife? So many people noticed the former first Lady, the former president's wife, Bellania Trump, was not in attendance last night. His wife, former First Lady Milannia Trump, she was not there. Among the guests who were ardent Trump supporters, including Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and the My Pillow founder Mike Lindell, one person noticeably absent last night was former First Lady Milannia Trump even the pillow sales and showed up for the speech, but his own wife didn't show up,

and the speech was at the house. Milannia didn't even come downstairs. She just she opened up the bedroom door. Oh you're back from prison already. Form Now, look, we're making jokes. We're making jokes, but there's nothing funny about a former First Lady not showing up to her husband's speech where he's complaining about getting arrested for lying about

paying off a porn stock. Frankly, I'm concerned about Milannia's whereabouts, so we launched the search for it, and that search is being headed by her very own Dulce Sloan dul say say Bull, say you're in Florida. You're in Florida, Dulce, Yes, we are. We are very poor, dude, I mean one d You're down there on the coast. Are there any

signs of Milania down there? Oh? Not yet. You know, I've been looking for her at the beach all day, and after this, I'm gonna look for her at brunch, and then I might gonna look for her the front row of a Magic Mike show. You know, I'm vigially, you know, vigil anty out here. Yeah, ain't the Magic Mike Show in Las Vegas. I think you're taking advantage of the corporate EXPENSI account. We'll talk about that later, but first, let's let's just while I got you, let's

just talk about this whole thing. Don't you think that Milania should leave Donald Trump? I mean, the man was paying hush money to pooring stars. Roy Roy, Roy, you don't understand, son. The hush money was for Milannia. She's the reason he didn't want people to know about Stormy Daniels. Shit. If he wasn't married, his campaign slowan would have been poor star, ok dog okay. But for Milania, he paid a poor star a hundred and thirty thousand dollars to

know a love like that? Oh okay, you know, I mean it's you know, it's kind of romantic for a man to just break bread like that's okay, I got you. So then, so then you think Melania should stay with Donald? No, he cheated a porn star. Come on, I'm dumped men for a lot less. I broke up with a guy last week because he left me a voicemail. A voicemail starve, what year do you think this? It just leave a comment on my TikTok. I an adult grandpa. Okay, So

I see what you're saying. So then you think Melania should have dumped Trump back in twenty sixteen? Got oh hell no, listen, uncle Roy? Are you? And then why would she dump him when he just got elected El presidente? You cheat on me? You think I'm gonna let some poor and start me the first lady with the hell now, nah, bitch, I'm getting a portrait, okay, a real one with pain and ship. Okay, okay, okay, I'm talking about a canvas and easel, and we're gonna sit there for seven hours

and look happy. Damn it. Okay going every which way? Then don't say just tell me what the hell shoup Milanni Gold do? Then she should be doing what you've been doing, take advantage of Trump with his president and when he's not, let us ask twisting the wind while you're at home watching Martin re runs a banging these bull boards. I mean, she's doing it in Marlanza right now. Wait so you know what she is? Well, then why are you running up an expens account of my week?

What's you what? This is my week hosting and you're running up the build with all this travel. Come on, wow, this is how you treat a black woman. No no, that's not how many last women's henster Rad? No no, no, no no no no no no no no no no no no no no that's not how many? What is not how many? Who? That's not? No no no no no no no means no. I should be out here with a tail far back and mar check nut. Are you out here trying to act like I'm not doing my job? You know what I'm gonna get on my

jet ski. I got to do with you. I got to do nothing that's to run my jet ski. Don't say saloon? Everybody, all right, when we come back. Jordan Clipper looked back at yesterday's nag. It's at the courthouse. You don't want to miss it. Welcome back to the Daily Show. Yesterday Jordan Clipper was down at the courthouse with Donald Trump's arrayment. We gave you a little taste of it yesterday some Santos so Marjorie Taylor Green, but today we'll hear what the Trump faithful have to say.

Tuesday's arrayment of former President Donald Trump in New York was a first for the nation and brought out the passionate, the sensibly dressed, and the kind of men who really disappoint their mother's. While I had fun getting into the scrum, I was surprised to find there were people who wanted to have meaningful conversations about the justice system. I don't believe we're what we're seeing. What you're seeing is justice.

You don't believe in the grand jury process. I don't believe if this was a civilian it would I mean, he is a civilian, he is a person, but New York address, so he shouldn't go through the grand jury process. I believe it should be dismissed because because um, I'm going by a general gut feeling the way I see. You know, if the government is stuffing over their bounds and doing what they're doing here and dutt Donald Trump. This happens all the time. What stuff paid off a

part star and then flighting business records. I mean, come on, it's his own money for one thing. And out of all the cases up against Donald Trump, this is probably the weakest one and probably the weakest brother. Yeah, there's no evidence to bring about this prosecution, so we don't know that until there's a grand jury. Who can then see that evidence? You know, listen, I think that everyone, everyone should get get a fair trial. So he would support a grand jury looking at all of the evidence

so that they decide to indict Donald Trump. Well, then we will let that happen. Sure, certainly if there's evidence, you know. I ever, every piece of evidence should be heard. Well,

I mean, that's what happened here. There's an excitement in the air fields, almost like the American version of a royal event at the king the porn star painter and then lied about it the methist records like an American coordination, and then the Donald arrived, the former leader of the free world was now possibly in the same room as a group of recently busted subway masturbaders. I think he You think he organestrated all of this, Yeah, because his

fulls like DeSantis was sort of was rising. Now he's taking all the air out of the world room. Now. Trump at twenty sixteen, he had all the media, Fox News, CNN was coming. Now they don't cover him anymore. Now they have to. Didn't arrest in the smartest thing they could do. He's like one of the smartest guys, says I know it. You're talking about the man who's getting finger fun in the tide that building right now. I think they fear to turn on a red they have.

They have his DNA that guys left in DNA and in a lot of different places. This is not the same time good Trump runs. Ele could get name from Bristil. You could do anything Trump. Yeah that anyway, They him thirty four for felonies. You don't. It's just like Trump, he's on touch He's un touchable. If the person who

is literally touching his fingerprints right back. Have you donated to the Trump campaign since he was I haven't thought about it up until now, but I guess side I can ser Trump has fundraise like over five million dollars for this, so in some ways it's almost like he's getting paid to have sex. Is he a sex word? I mean it's cool, there's no judgment. Look, I think

you guys are afraid. I love senses are humor. But in many ways you should appreciate this is not funny because they're going after Trump today, they'll go after me tomorrow, and then they'll go after you. Did you pay off a port star and then live record? Oh, I'm sorry, that's gonna be frightening. I guess he cook comes for us and less we've been involved in hunch Bundy payments and then lying on our business records, and then I've been using that when it comes to the campaign as well. Like,

I guess that could happen anybody. Perhaps we don't need justice to be flooded, just friendly hard all right, stay too, because when be coming back, Cugric to Entertainer will be joining me on the show. Don't go away. I'm gonna pretend to run in this paper. Were loco him back to the day show. My guest tonight is one of the original kings of comedy. He's also the star and executive producer of the hit CBS series The Neighborhood, which

will soon celebrate its one hundredth episode. Please welcome to Centric to entertainer game. Oh gee, no, god. Before before we talk about anything, let's let me just ask a serious question off the rep man. What is your annual budget on hats? The hat budget is? You know, it's first whatever it is, and then I take care of the kids school and all. Let's go, because every time I see you in the hat, I never see a hat repeat itself as just hats. Just does your wife

have any room for her shoes? That's that's that's the constant battle against her shoes. I've lost. I definitely lose in that battle for Jude. Now I have the honor of doing you know, morning radio in Birmingham for almost fifteen years and a lot of comedians, a lot of ogs came through when I was young in the game, and something that I peeped about you all, y'all always came in town when you had the time. You come in town a date early and go to the Black Mall,

parlay with the people, do your shows. Then on Saturday when you can sleep in the hotel, go to the black barbershops, parlay with the people. You're one of the most universally loved people in entertainment talked about it goes you Sindbad and Hamburgers in turn and I and I mean it seriously, what could politicians learn from comedians on just getting love from people and just interacting with folks?

I mean, you know, really, you can't do it just at the time of that you're running for office or whatever. I mean, the idea is just actually, you know, making contact with people, looking at people in the eye, feeling that vibe, you know, understanding who they are. You know, you see people out there, Green New York. This is what I got that from jay Z. I see you Green New York hat, you go break through you all

you want to know you seal you know? Oh right, yeah, I see you late Cloup Okay Lake clop over there. And then I'm gonna folks to see familiar because he's on my hat. So the Neighborhood, Yeah, congratulate on one hundred episode, first and foremost, and you're directing the one

hundredth episode of this television program and the Neighborhood. I've always been a fan of it, because it's a show that positions itself within the issue of gentrification and not addressing the biggest issue, but just what it means to be a black person in a black neighborhood and that white person come in and you figuring out how to keep your culture while also learning about someone else's in the writer's room. How are you all able to tow that line on that issue and make it so palpable

for everybody? That was always the thing with the show. I mean, you know, it was interesting because when when the show first came to me, it was here comes the neighborhood, and I was like, oh wait a minute, So that's a whole other attitude right there. I'll be like, I'm already there. The neighborhood already exists, right, So, you know, it was one of those things where, you know, we wanted to be able to tell this story of like how you feel when when things come you do want

growth in your neighborhood. You do want to start Bucks and the Whole Foods, but you don't want to do that without losing the culture, you know what I'm saying. So, um, you know, and that's the really how we tell the story we got great actors. Uh, Max Greenfield who plays Davis just you know, legendary funny man killing it to Sheina Arnold, best bears, Marcell Spears, we kill it man, she um So Now talk about directing. What was that like?

Because the episode premieres next week, But what was that like? To sit to sit behind that camera? Do you do this? And do get me award? Motherful? That was it? That was it. That's why I did it. That's what everybody loved. I was like, Yo, you know the director, you know you actually you get to pay the picture. That's what I say. You know you you're the one that's kind of living literally putting all the colors on the canvas and just and so you know, you get to you

get to tell people you just for no reason. I don't like the time, I don't like the time, lose the time, and you know what, all the time? Good keep it TI, you know so, but you know, but actually it was that kind of thing where I got great actors. You really just give them the best place

to deliver and get off. And that's what I really learned as a direct For the most part I've been doing I've directed a couple of episodes of the Neighborhood and then The soul Man that I used to have my other show and Easy and so you know that's a that's the idea of really just finding that place where a comic can get off or actor and just like show them, you know, show them where they need

to be for it to happen. Well, I can't thank you enough for what you've done for not just the culture of entertainment, but also just the culture stand up comedy. And it's not something that you touch your horn about. It's not something that you talk about a lot publicly. But I want to give you flowers today, Og because you know, people try to measure a stand up comedians on the worth of well, who had the best special,

who had the best jokes. But behind the scenes at this same show, the Neighborhood, you have staffed and employed so many people, black, white women, just so many people, and there's so many comedians. You know, it's one thing to be someone in this end strem create a great comedy special, But I measured the birth of a comedian by how many homeowners does he create within his team? And it's a bunch of them over there. Thank you

so much Saith the entertainer. Everybody say, yeah, the one hundredth episode of the novel World as eight foot ten on Phibs and Parabout Plus, but I take a quick wack. We'll be right back after this.
