It's America's only sorts for news.
It's The Daily Show with your host Jordan Clever. Welcome to the Daily Job, John Clober. Gotta make shure tonight, Donald Trump and holding the Jay six where you did the Supreme Court. Lets women have some rights after all, So let's get in. We're ongoing coverage of Indecision twenty twenty four. This was a big day for both presidential candidates. Joe Biden was in Italy for the g Summit, where he met with a bunch of world leaders who are, believe it or not, even more unpopular than he is. Yeah,
just look at all their net approval ratings together. That's right. Biden might be an American too, but in Europe he's a solid seven. It's nice to know that at a time where so much divides us, one thing that binds us all together in our shared humanity is looking up at the person we elected and saying, man, that guy anyway. At the G seven, Biden signed a security agreement with Ukraine. He pushed for protection of abortion rights in Europe and
built support for a ceasefire in Gaza. Meanwhile, not to be outdone, former President Donald Trump also attended an important summit with world leaders.
Donald Trump has confirmed that he'll be appearing on the upcoming episode of Logan Pole's podcast.
Oh No Way, We Got Guts? Is your.
Well?
I think we just found his campaign motto, Trump twenty twenty four. This is what we're reduced to. Yeah, you can kind of tell Donald Trump has no idea who Logan Paul is. Here's a shirt and a mug. Kid, Now, which kind of cancer are you dying of? Huh? Yes, Donald Trump agreed to be on Logan Paul's podcast, and Logan Paul agreed to be Donald Trump's secretary of Defense.
So then, after hanging out with influencers yesterday, today Trump met with some people who contribute even less to society, Congressional Republicans.
There's more breaking news we're following. Only moments ago, former President Donald Trump wrapped up his meeting with Congressional Republicans up on Capitol Hill. It marked his first visits since telling his supporters to quote flight like hell. Just ahead of the deadly January sixth, the.
Riot Yeah Troupe was back on Capitol Hill for the first time since January sixth, and I must have felt like visiting your old high school, you know. Walk in the hall, so many memories flooding back. I remember Joey taking a dump over there, Blake meet up a cop right over there. We tried to hang Mikey over there, just outside there. I told everyone to be peaceful. Such good memories. We should do this again. How about January. Now, this meeting was billed as a chance for Trump to
discuss the legislative agenda for his potential second term. So let's hear how this serious, serious policy discussion went.
It opened with members singing happy birthday to the former president because his birthday is just right around the corner.
What they sing happy birthday to him? They're not waiters at a TGIA. Isn't that embarrassing for everybody involved? A room of adults wearing suits saying, let's discuss our agenda to dismantle the regulations that protect our environment. But first, who's the big boy getting a year older? And today isn't even his birthday, it's tomorrow. I mean, I know Trump has done a lot. He's a convicted felon. He tried to overthrow the government. But now he's celebrating a
birthday week. The man's a monster. And the worst part is that Ted Cruz saying it sexy like Marilyn Monroe just broke. You can't unsee that, everybody. Okay, now that Trump has blown out his candles and made a wish, I assume to meet that three boomed lady from total recall, let's get to that policy.
Sources inside the room tell us it was a typical Trump hormance, bragging about his polls, attacking Republicans who have opposed him, questioning why Taylor Swift would support a Democrat.
Apparently, the foreign president made reference to Hannibal Lecter and said nice guy.
Quote. He even had a friend over for dinner.
At one point.
He even talked about Nancy Pelosi's daughter, saying that her daughter had told him in a different lifetime, she Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump would have had a great romance.
Oh god, man, does Donald Trump have nothing better to do at Capitol Hill than quote Jodie Foster movies and act out Nancy Pelosi fanfic. I mean, imagine if you were a serious Republican congressman in that room, who came to work that day to get things done and make life better for your constituents. That person does not exist.
But.
Imagine how annoyed they would be now. To be fair, Trump did discuss some actual politics. As you know, the Republican National Convention is in Milwaukee this summer, and apparently he just can't wait to fly in.
Trump said, quote, Milwaukee, where we are having our convention, is a horrible city.
Hey, I may not be from Wisconsin, but I am from Michigan. And let me just say, don't mess with the Midwest, buddy. We will politely ask you to please stop and then thank you in advance. And that's a threat. Honestly, though, how does Trump not like Milwaukee? The two main food groups there are sausage and cheese. A salad just means that sausage has sour kroud on it. But let's move on from Trump and Biden to the people who actually
run our country. The Supreme Court today they issued a rulian on the abortion pill, which religious activists asked them to ban on the legal grounds that they don't like it. Now traditional that's a Compellian argument for the Supreme Court. But there must have been a gas leak because this time they made the right decision.
Justices unanimously rejected a bid by a conservative Christian legal group to a strict access to an abortion pill used by millions of patients every year. The Court's decision unanimous here finding that the group of anti abortion doctors who questioned the FDA's decision to make it easier for people to get the pill did not have the legal standing to sue.
Justice Kavanaugh writes in the opinion quote, a plaintiff's desire to make a drug less available for others doesn't establish standing just sue.
Yes, Obviously, you can't sue a drug just because you don't want somebody else to use it. Like I want cocaine to be less available to Don Junior. That doesn't mean I can sue cocaine now. To be clear, you can't look it up. To be clear, the Court didn't decide this case on the merits, just on a technical issue of standing. So anti abortion groups still have another
chance to get the abortion pill banned. Which is nice to know that they at least they get a plan B. But because it's twenty twenty four, we can't celebrate even a small win for reproductive rights without hearing about another step backwards, Senate Republicans blocked a Democratic bill that.
Would have established protections for in vitro fertilization nationwide.
This all comes as the nation's largest Protestant denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention, voting to.
Condemn the use of IBF at its annual meeting just yesterday.
The resolution, which received about sixty percent of the delegate votes, supporting a decision in February by Alabama's Supreme Court which ruled embryos are considered children.
Really, really, Southern Baptists, you're against IVF. Don't you remember how Jesus was born? That's basically the Bible version of IVA. It's will. That they were inspired to do this because of the Alabama Supreme Court ruling that everyone hated. That's like if you asked the comedian why they got into stand up and they said, I love Kramer set at the lab Factory. For more on these recent decisions on reproductive rights, we go live to the Supreme Court with
Grace Kohlanschmidz. Grace, Grace, Grace, you you were in court today, How did it go?
Well?
The judge let me off with a warning and they're taking my inklet off next week.
No, I'm talking about the Supreme Court.
Oh right, Well, so the new update on reproductive rights is as follows. Women can get an abortion if they're using mifipress stone and their state allows it or allows it to be sent to them from out of state. But the abortion cannot be carried out if the embryo was conceived through IVF and the woman was a member of the Southern Baptist Church, because in that case, the fertilization should not take place to begin with. And that's the latest on what women can do with their bodies.
A back to hug j.
So okay, that is a that is a lot of process in a single day, and women must be feeling pretty overwhelmed.
Are you kidding? This is my dream.
I get to wake up every day and get told what to do with my body by a random group of people I've never met.
If anything, they don't give me enough rules.
You want more rules?
Yeah, like today I learned I shouldn't get pregnant through IVF, But what about through missionary or.
Or what about reverse cowgirl or.
Sitting in a jiz put on the subway? Oh okay, just got an update from the Delaware Jehovah's Witnesses. They say that making a baby through missionary is cool if you're dating, but subway jiz puddles are not unless I'm fully married to the jiz puddle.
Awesome, thank you Delaware Jehovah's.
Witness Is you want that to be dictated to you by the courts and religious groups?
Oh, we could be any random group, local school board, a book club, the NBA.
I don't think the NBA should weigh in on your reproductive BRIDESGRACEE.
You're right, they're busy with the finals, But there is so much more about my life I need decided for me.
I mean, I'm.
Getting a bikini wax this weekend, and I know they're gonna ask landing Strip, triangle or Sahara Desert.
Oh, hold on yip.
Okay, there's a bulling league in Phoenix that just weighed in landing strip, if I'm going to a party, triangle, if I'm going to a funeral. I was excited about the landing Strip, but my grandma is dead.
Okay, Grace, do women really need to be micro managed this much by random organizations?
Jordan, I can't even focus on what you're saying right now. I have not pooped in three days. I emailed NATA to ask if I could, but they haven't written me back.
What for the grace, If you need to poop, just go poop? How walk over to the bathroom with what with your legs? Grace?
But which like first? I'm freaking out, Jordan.
I need you or a group of astronauts to tell me what to do.
With my bottom? Okay? Left? Right left right right, left left right?
Thank you?
Yes, I love right, Grace coolige. Bet everybody, We'll come back by a hawk and been joined us. We don't go away. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is an actor and musician whose new album is called Chaos Angel and she stars as Anxiety in Inside Out. To please welcome, maya Hawk. I welcome? Okay, so an inside Out too? You play Anxiety? Am I pronouncing that right? I've I've never heard of anxiety before.
It's a very sophisticated name. Not a lot of people know about it.
But yeah, that's you're pronouncing interest right, Yes, yes, anxiety?
Anxiety is that right?
Yes, that's exactly spot on?
Anxiety. How do you go about plane Anxietyay, you're channeling essentially an idea and a general emotion.
Yes, well, it's interesting because they're both ideas and general emotions, but also they're really well rounded characters. For example, within the movie, Joy played by the fabulous Amy Poehler, cries.
You know, Joy cries.
So Joy is a full character, and so are all the other characters. So it is kind of a single emotion, but it's also a whole person, which is.
A very weird thing to play.
But basically, what I did is that in my own personal life, I have a voice in my head going at all times telling me all the things that I'm doing wrong always one hundred percent, and all the things I'm worried about in all the ways that maybe I could improve the things that I'm worried about and kind of correct the trajectory of my crashing plane. And I just kind of tapped into that voice and put it
into the character. So I didn't do any research. It's no homework, no scientific follow ups, no consultations with specialists.
Specialists, just listen.
The guy in my head was like, oh no, it's not going to be okay, You're gonna be bad. You're gonna do a bad job at the show, and I think, oh, yeah, your.
Coat's weird, you're weird. It's going to go.
Really you're doing great, but you really, you really brought that character out. Wow. Wow, some of us have to do homework.
Some of us are natural.
I don't know. You just find the voice within and you let it out there exactly. You're playing anxiety and inside out too. And your new album is called Chaos Angel. That's true? Is everything okay?
Yes?
Yes, yeah, I'm a sleepy, you're a sleepy.
You're dealing with a lot of open emotions. I feel like, does the idea of your album is very personal? Yes, and releasing it that sounds it gives me nothing but nightmares. The idea of releasing something so personal like that, Does.
That give youthing out your edited journals?
Yeah, exactly? Is that how you view it?
I mean kind of, I mean edited and obscured.
But yeah, but no, Well it doesn't really give me anxiety because I am not like you know, I'm not like making the there's no like public scandal that's being revealed by my record, and it's not like it's like about a flaw.
Do you wish you had any do you wish.
I'm actually, if anyone's interested or open to offering me a public scandal to incorporate into the lyrics of my next song, I'd be very open. But no, so it doesn't make me that nervous. I have always been pretty open with my emotions as a person. That's a that's kind of a mainstay characteristic of my crazy inside out house that's going on up here, my headquarters, so to speak.
But yeah, I'm just I'm open with my emotions.
I'm very happy to talk about things, and so I really I'm just feeling very proud and grateful to have gotten to make a record that is coming out, and to get to be in a movie this cool and like this kind of double rainbow of both popular, good and smart.
Yeah, yeah, well said, I mean it is. It is a remarkable thing to be able to both to act and also to do music at the same time. You you grew up in a an artistic household.
I agreed, it is remarkable.
It's remarkable, Maya, how do you do it?
I mean, it's just I don't know, an extra lobe in my brain.
It's extra lobes, I know, did you ever growing up in a household that has so much art an artist. I follow your dad on Instagram, and I feel like he's constantly telling me how to be a better artist. I love the.
Vibe of his Instagram. He has transition from actor to guru.
Yes, what is he? What is he going to tell me to do today? I did you ever growing up in that household feel the rebellious spirit to go against the grain and become like an actuarial scientist.
No, no, no, I mean I think the weird thing that people misunderstand about rebellion, And there are a few counter examples to this, but like people don't normally rebel against fun stuff, like like it does happen, okay, but rarely, Like it's only the really weird brother who's.
Were like, yeah, my dad was so fun.
He took us the trampoline park all the time, and all he wanted to do was talk about rock music and trampolines. And so I became an accountant, Like that's an unusual thing. It's usually like the accountant's kid who's like.
I'm the trampoline guy.
Like I don't know, Like it's mostly rarely does one rebel against fun stuff.
That's true, that's true. I usually shied away from it in high school, but that was mostly because that was fun stuff, risky stuff. I was a nerd in high school, so the idea of drinking or doing drugs or actually having a sustained relationship with somebody was very scary, too.
Very What about a brief relationship.
I had a brief relationship and then I had a very long relationship. Okay, I think it's what happened. This is too much about me, Jesus, I'm hearing that anxiety in my voice. Now, you're like, you're bringing it up. You're bringing it up. You're bringing it up, Jordan h The first song on your album, Yeah, Black Ice has a very interesting moody beginning.
It does.
Yes, can you tell us a little bit.
About Oh my god, Yeah, it's so weird.
Yeah, it's weird.
I'm worried for some reason.
I've now like, like the first one, I was like noverly this, but now I'm talking about a lot.
I'm worried.
It's gonna I'm back to bite me in the butt somehow. But I was taken to see a psychic because I had depression as a child, and the psychic was like a magical psychic who like laid crystals around you and helped you talk to your spirit guides.
Yes, it was a very normal childhood.
In case anyone got the wrong impression from everything else about me, I had a really conventional childhood. And so anyway, this psychic did this kind of long session with me at the end, and there were like two dogs there and like three women, and they helped me talk to my inner spirit guides and remove my shield that was over my heart and do all this kind of stuff.
And I have a recording of it, and the recording I only heard like fifteen years later and was really taken aback by it because it was both extremely positive and I was like, wow, I'm so lucky that I got to like have this kind of help as a kid and help through my anxious teen years, you know, kind of like the way that and Died Out is focused on. But I was also like, you freaking weirdo, Like why are you telling me that I am an angel?
I am not and will never be.
I am a disgusting little gremlin and have been an always movie.
And so it was like, because these these women were really being like you are an angel and human form. You are perfect.
Your job in the universe is to make other people around you feel happy and good. And I listened to as an adult and I was like, I don't.
Want them to be my job, which is go away this time.
Yeah.
Wow, I guess you have an experience like that. You're like, I need to become an artist and put this into words. Suppose, So yes, I.
Hang in there.
It feels like it feels like a gift to a friend.
That is basically the idea I like. I've heard two different takes on the song. I like the idea that it's either a present to me singing to a past me comforting the past, so it's like you're comforting yourself or.
Me singing to a friend of mine.
The first one sounds cooler. I should have said the first one.
No, no, no, I like both.
I like both, and I will not reveal which one it is or else I offer up the opportunity to accidentally reveal who the bad guy in the story is.
Well, I want to know, No, I dan tell.
You this is the scandal you were looking for.
I know, I know, but it's not the scandal that the people want.
Fair Enough, smart Inside Out two opens in theaters June fourteenth, and Chaos Angel is available now able to ride back. That's our jobs that I down here it is.
He came in, talked to the conference, was very honest, he was funny. He was joking around constantly with everyone. He saw me, so I was sitting back a little ways. He saw me in there and he was like, hello, Marjorie. He's always so sweet and recognizes me, and he said, are you being nice? He was joking, are you being nice to Speaker Johnson?
And I said.
Eh, And he said, okay, be nice to him, and I'm nod in my head.
