We have got a ready fun show for you. Tonight's white people are not white anymore, Bars, I'm not who you think they are. And Daisy lad And covers the surprising reason that you won't be able to vote. So let's do this people. Let's come straight into today's headlines, all right, before we get into the big stories, So let's catch up on a few other things going on in the world. Well, actually, this entertainment news is from

out of this World. Tom Cruise is planning to shoot scenes for a new movie from the International Space Station, which good for him. He's finally getting to work a little bit closer to his home planet. This is nice, This is It's all about that work. Life balance. No, but seriously, people, Tom Cruise days winning all right, he's one of the greatest movie stars and stuntman's doing things that no one has ever done before, just success after success.

So maybe scientology is right. I don't know. I'm just putting it out there. I'm just putting it out there. And other of space news. Remember how NASA slammed a spaceship into an asteroid to test whether they could change its course. Well, yesterday they officially announced that it was a success. Yeah. Yeah, the the asteroid wasn't actually headed to Earth and they hit it and now it is so could work. Everyone, Yeah, you just kept for us dying.

I'm I'm not really sure this is all necessary though, like to like sender like a vessel up to hit the asteroid, spend all that money, Like if we honest one immigrant mother could have done the same thing just by holding up a slipper. That's all she needed to do. Just be like come to Earth and see what happ Come to Earth and see what happens. Yeah, that's right. Turn around, turned that turn that, turn that after it around.

In in sports news, NFL star Davante Adams of the Raiders has now been charged with misdemeanor assault for shoving a sideline photographer on Monday. Luckily, the photographer was attended to by NFL doctors, so he'll be fine. I mean, he died, but the doctors still hid into play. Next Sunday, they said the game must go on. All right, Let's move on to some of the biggest stories of the day, starting off with a major story about the gig economy.

You know, the gig economy, the reason you're tended date had to make a stop to deliver shake check. Over the past decade, more and more people have been making a living at jobs with the companies they work for are technically not the employers. But now America's most famous employee might be changing that a right, a potential game changer for millions of gig workers. The Biden administration proposing a new rule that would reclassify millions of them as

company employees. The new rule who could have wide ranging impact on profits at Uber, lift, geor Dash and other companies that rely on contractors. With that employee label, workers would be eligible for protections like a minimum morali wage,

overtime pay, jobless benefits, and workers com Wow. Biden gets this done, it's going to shake up the world of apps completely because you realize right now the reason delivery and car apps can take in billions of dollars is partly because they don't technically have employees, which is great for them. It's the same way some people are technically in a relationship, but they still get all the benefits. Yeah, they get the sleepovers, but then they don't have to

take care of you when you're sick. You know, it's just like, I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I guess I'll see you when you're ready to smash by What what Biden is suggesting is that these companies have to give their work as the benefits that employees would get. And I know that you'll agree with me. No one deserves it more than them because these people are hard workers. They're driving everywhere, they're biking there, delivering their taste, testing

our food before it gets to us. This is hard work. So this is a big step for a lot of people in the gig economy. But don't forget there are drawbacks to being considered an employee. Yeah, like, for instance, people singing you happy birthday at work. Yeah, you'll love it. Initially, but once they start on the how well you now, how you'll be like, I have a health care but headward cast. All right, let's move on to some news

about the midterms. The reason your inbox is now full of emails with the subject line send me four dollars or I'll kill myself. Let's catch up on some of the tightest races in our ongoing coverage of vote Demo. Right now, any single Senate race in America could determine which party could take control of the Senate, giving them the power to get nothing done for the next two years, and few races are closer right now than the one

in Pennsylvania. On the Republican side you have Doctor Oz, famous TV doctor and proof that even Oprah makes mistakes. And on the Democratic side you have John Federman, former Lieutenant governor, and dude who's just going off in the marsh pits. This race has hinged on an of issues like crime, abortion, and the fact that Dr Oz has only lived in Pennsylvania for less than two years, which is that even a real Pennsylvanian. Huh has this dude even been in a fist fight in the wah Wah

parking lot yet? But now another question has begun to take sense of stage in the race, John Fetterman's health. Back in May, Fetterman suffered a stroke, and even though he's been back on the campaign trail, he still hasn't fully recovered. And now his first major interview since the stroke has everyone talking. Can voter stress that you will be able to do this job on day one? Yeah?

Of course. This is Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman's first in person sit down interview since a stroke sideline him from the campaign trail for months. That auditory processing where I'll hear someone speaking, but sometimes will be it will be precise and what exactly that they're saying. I use captioning. His campaign require that he'd be allowed to use a transcription program on his computer during our interview.

I always thought it was pretty empathetic. Huh emphatic. I think I was very excuse me, empathetic. Uh. You know, that's an example of stroke empathetic. I always thought it was very empathetic before having a stroke, But now after having that stroke, I really understand, you know, much more kind of the challenges that Americans have day in and

day out. So, yeah, this interview came out, and now obviously you've got people on the right saying phedom and forgot a word and he can't understand speech, so he's not fit for the Senate. And look, this is politics, so I get it. People will jump on any weakness to give their party an advantage. I understand that, but let's be real, people, it's stumbling over a world every now and again just qualified you from politics. America wouldn't have had a president for the past six years. Uh,

let's go in fast. In fact, at least Peteman acknowledged that he messed up the word and he corrected himself. Yeah, Biden wouldn't have noticed, and he would have her negroes Man and Trump. Can you imagine Trump? Trump would never even acknowledged that all like Trump would have tried to convince us that he actually got the word right. He'd be like I always knew that I was emphatic, and I was and also empathetic. I was emphatically empathetic, and

so emphatic about being empathetic, emphatic about emphasma. Do we love emphasyma, folks, We love it so much? And also asked for needing to read captions because he has a troubled understanding of speech. Now, I don't know, is that really a deal breakup? Huh? In fact, if you ask me, I think America needs more people in politics who actually know how to read. Maybe that's just how I see it. If anything, if anything, needing captions is super relatable these days. Yeah.

Have you tried watching House of Dragon without actions? It's impossible. I mean, half the characters have the same name. Here, Gonen, tell a mon to get Rania to warn Ranarious about eagles drave, but don't tell for Sarius. He'll tell you, Sarius. Did you get that? No? I didn't. I don't know what that was. So look, go look, I'm not I'm not vouching for feedoment over doctor Os or anything like that.

But I do think this whole debate is veering into the territory of saying that people with disabilities cannot be lawmakers, which is trash, all right, especially since America already has disabled lawmakers serving right now. It shouldn't be the squatifier, right, Dan Cramshaw is missing an eye, Tammy Duckworth lost both her legs, right, and Mitch McConnell, he's literally melting all

the time. But has he let that hold him back? No, he gets up every day and he vows to keep on working until the moment his face slides right off of his skull. Worrow. That's right, however, Now I tire

my skirt and to opponent to ma now. Even though the sentence is getting the most attention, there's also a heated race for mayor of Los Angeles where Congresswoman Karen Bass is facing off against real estate tycoon Rick Crusoe, and in their final debate last nights, there was one moment that got everyone's attention, and it's when the moderator mentioned that Karen Bass is a person of color, and then Rick Caruso said, uh, me too. And this question

goes for the both of you. The next mayor of Los Angeles will be either an African American woman for a white man. I'm Italian Italian Americans, thank you, thank you. You're not white, You're Latin? What is that? What is that? We all know what this is about, right, this guy

is running in Los Angeles. So now he's saying I'm Italian, which is a Latin language, So I'm basically Latino, right, I'm not I'm not claiming should be an expert, but if you tell someone you're grabbing Latin food, I think that'll be pretty piste off when you come back with olive garden. Right, we cannot agree on America, so I think we can all agree that Rick Caruso was just bullshitting here, because I promise you when he gets pulled over by the cops, he's not like all the officer.

What is the problem, Senor what's funny about this whole thing is that when they came to America, Italians weren't considered white, but then they fought for like a hundred years to change that. Yeah, and let's be honest, any debate was definitely over by the time the Mario trailer came out last week. Yeah, because Chris Pratts is out here like it is I Mario. So the Senate races are heating up, the mayoral races are heating up. But it turns out even in the Animal Kingdom, my friends,

elections are being fought tooth and nail. Then update on fat and Bear a week. It's the popular bracket that has been rocked by a big cheating scandal. So each year people vote on the beefiest bear in Alaska's Cat made cat My National Park before hibernation season. Well, the National Park tweeted quote like bear stuff there faced with fish.

Our ballot box too, has been stuffed. There were thousands of fake votes for Bear seven four seven, But even with the fake votes removed, seven four seven weighed in at four hundred pounds and still want to semifinal round. Now seven will face off against Bear nine oh one for the final round. Voting start this morning. Yes, my friends, it appears that a voting scandal has tainted the dignity of fat Bear a week and don't you dead laugh?

Don't you laugh? If we cannot trust the same to see of the fat bare vote, then what can't we trust? I honestly don't understand this. Who would even care enough about a fat by election to try and cheat and stuff the battle box? Who is this person who's like, oh, I've got to ring? This is it? Why the fattest bear doesn't get any power if it wins. It isn't like a bear is gonna win the election and then cut taxas, right, right, I use my clause to cut

the taxas. And now for those zoning laws, what are you doing. And by the way, I feel like the story is almost the perfect encapsulation of American culture, all right, because when other countries engaged with nature, there's a reverence, you know, it's like the mighty brown bear, weary of the coming choo how goes down for the winter months. But with America, it's like, look at this chunky boy. Look at him. He's so chunky. I just want to dude, Tell my god, he just ate my arm. Take a venture.

All right, that's it for the headlines. But before we go to a quick break, let's check it on the stock market. Finance expert Michael Cost to everybody hardphone, what is happening on the market today? Well, like a fat bear on a scale, I'm crushing at everybody. I mean, and I got a hot tip for you, all right, I gotta tip creaking a hot tip for you. But before we get into this fat bear week, you know, here's a question. Why are people voting and we have

the information from the scale. Doesn't that tell us who the fattest bear is? Am I the only one watching this story? We have a scale, The scale tells us who the fattest bear is. There's no need to vote. Okayh officer, Officer, I know your radar gun says I was going a hundred, but can we just take a vote on this first. I'm like, come on, let's call it what it is, Trevor. These bears they're depressed. Think about it. They over eat, they sleep for months. They

always seem upset. They freak out when you point a hunting rifle at their cub. I mean, they're unhinged, dude. All right, that's an interesting way to see bad. Let's talk let's talk about not talk about money. Yeah, let's talk about money forever. Uber and Lift. Now I'm an expert on this topic. I actually use Uber black, Trevor, because I'm an ally. So that's for you. But it's not a joe. It's not a joe. Look, okay, let's look.

As you can see on this chart. After President Biden announced that gig workers should be considered employees, Uber and Lift shares have taken a ride of their own. Okay, Now, this chart also perfectly demonstrates my enjoyment of making conversation with my Uber driver. Okay, at the beginning, it's fine, you know, offers me a man, gives me a bottle, of water for a baby. But look, it starts to drop right here when he asked me to come sit

up front. Oh god right, And another big drop in value again when he finds out I work at the Daily Show and asked me if I'm the guy that goes to the Trump rallies. But look, his value increases when I learned used to be a doctor and I can ask him free medical questions. But it turns out he's actly just a chiropractor, so he loses all his value. But then I find out that he has prescription meds in his trunk for me, so it goes back up. And you know, Mikey like, okay, so no, thank you.

I offered you a hot tip, and it's usually a financial tip. But I feel like I have to explain this because it keeps happening to me. If you're my uber driver and I fall asleep in the back seat, do not try to wake me up. I will bite you. Okay, Back to you, Trevor, my brother Michael cost everybody when we come back. Cantylic discovers yet another thing that is wrong with American's indection. So don't go away, yea. With all the recent accusations, of ballot rigging and fat bear fraud.

It is no surprise that Americans have become less confident in their elections. But as Daisy Latic discovers in her new series, America's election infrastructure maybe an even worse shape than you think. Hi, I'm Peabody Award wanting investigative journalist Daisy Ladik. Elections. They're the bedrock of democracy and the only thing preventing us from not having elections. But is America's election system reliable or we won glitchy voting machine

away from a total collapse. All investigate in our new segment Vote Demic are crumbling election infrastructure. After our nation's last elections went super smooth, dozens of voters were locked out of the one single polling place for all of Louisville for ports of hours of longlines, voting machine malfunctions, provisional ballot shortages. Officials are looking at calling in the

National guard. I wanted to find out how ready we are for the mid terms, so I'm headed to our nation's capital to talk with election advocates at the Democracy Fund. My name is Tammy Patrick. I'm a senior advisor to the elections team at the Democracy Fund, which seeks to ensure that we have an open and just democracy that is inclusive and trustworthy for all of our citizens. Sounds like you got your work cut out for you. We

do in this moment. There's a lot of work to be done, but it may not be in the areas that necessarily think it is. All right. What are all the problems for this upcoming election? So we continue to see a shortage of poll workers, the global supply chain issues, underfunding of our election infrastructure, tammy, tammy, tammy. Let's let's

start with the most pressing issue. Well, one of the most pressing issues that at this moment, because of where we are in the election cycle, is a paper shortage. Paper paper, Tammy. It's two who's using paper to vote? So the vast majority of Americans actually cast a paper ballot? Yeah, no, I knew that. I vote every election. I got the

stickers to prove it. Well, that's great, but election offices all around this country have ordered their ballots, they've ordered envelopes, they've ordered paper materials that they need, and they may not get them in time for the upcoming election. Who's going to be affected by this paper shortage? Most what it looks like is going to happen, will be those small election offices serving rural communities where they don't have a large service provider that's helping them take care of

this issue. Are you saying that the rural community and might rural rural? Am I saying that right? Rural? The rural? Okay, you know what I'm saying. As I learned about this large swath of Americans rural, very rural, I realized this paper shortage could affect a lot of people. Well, I guess I gotta go find some paper people. Oh wait, there's more to talk about, can it Tammy? We can America just sneaks in printer paper home from work like

the rest of us. I went to run Back Election Services, one of the largest ballot printing facilities, to get an inside look at how dire the paper shortage is. We print ballots for several states and counties across the nation. We're in twenty three states plus Washington, d C. With some some of our products. Wow, so you're a huge part of the voting process. Yeah, we touched roughly voters

around the country. Touch a lot of voters, but with consent absolutely, So what's going on with this paper shortage started during COVID when the paper mill shut down. They couldn't generate more paper, so they sold through all their inventory, and then when they started going back to work, they converted to liner board for cardboard boxes. Right, Amazon still needs to ship things, bezos man, and now we don't have the inventory any longer, and so they're trying to

play catch up. And you're saying there's a paper shortage happening right now. Jeff, I don't know how to tell you this, but I see a ton of paper around here. So what you see here on our production floor is a fraction of what we need for the whole year. Every day we'll go through sixty five of those roles. Of these roles, Jesus Christ. Historically we could order paper in two to three weeks, we would have what we need. Now it's three to four months or more. And that's

been the problem this year. How bad are we talking like we might need to start printing double sided bad or the majority of Americans won't get to choose their president. Bad. Let's hope it doesn't get to that. Everybody is working to avoid that very problem. But we already do print double sided balance, So there is we already print on both sides of the paper. Jeff. That means it's bad. Kind of walk me through everything that would be a acted if the election community runs out of paper. If

there's no paper, it's hard to mail balance envelopes. I voted stickers and instructures, voting stickers. Voting stickers could be gone, could be but the stickers the best part of voting, the only reason I vote. Could also do digital stickers. Instead of getting the physical sticker, you get a digital sticker when you vote. Jeff, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Fair enough, Okay, I just have a few more questions. It's good m hm. Yes, what can Americans

do to help with the paper shortage? Um? Stop wasting paper? Yes? Cursive? Why am I writing in cursive? Stop in sting paper? Yeah? All right, you wanna take me on a tour. I'm ready to go to work. All right, let's go. You're gonna wear a hard hat. Yeah, that's what you do. Right. It was time to roll up my sleeves so I didn't get ink on them. Ross this paper palace was pumping. And it turns out there's a lot more to printing than just hitting control p So this where it all starts.

We get the files from the county, the pds, so we can start the print process. Ah, let me ask you a question. Does PDF really Standford? Please don't know. I could see how crucial paper was to this process. So every roll of paper will generate about a thousand ballots. Where we're running in an election, we'll be running twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. He's runs twenty four hours a day. Wait, what's happening? This machine just ran out of paper? Happening already. I even presented

Jeff some of my own solutions to stopping shortage. So this is the inserter. This where the balance, the I voted sticker, the instructions all going to the envelope to be nailed out of the voter. Say the stickers voted stickers? Yes, these ones right here? Yes now now. So even if the paper shortage does ruin America's democracy, at least don't be able to participate in the most important part of

the voting process. Thank you so much. True, Because when we come back, I'll be talking to a trio chefs. We're making bourmet food ghett over, so don't go away. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guests to night are the founders of the brunch based calinary collective Ghetto Gastro. They're here to talk about their new book, Black Power Kitchen, which comes out on October. Is available for pre order right now. Please welcome. Let's the walker, John Gray and

Pierre Serrau book Welcome. Yeah, you are definitely out here. Welcome to the show. Gentlemen. You know this. It feels like it's been too long. I remember meeting you and my mind was blown, not just by the food you cooked, but by the stories that you told, the way you encapsulated people's cultures, the identities, everything into something we take from granted every day, which is food. Let's start with the like the very beginning, the inception of it all,

Ghetto Gastro. So many people have a negative connotation when it comes to ghetto, be like, oh that's ghetto, you know. And then Gastro has this this culinary idea behind it. But you took it and you flipped it. I'd love to know why you chose that name. Well, we know opposites attract, and as a multidisciplinary business, we want to use food as a vehicle to tell stories, you know about culture, politics, empowerment, you know, mainly we're using our

creative energy to uplift black and brown communities. That yeah, I love it. And the way you do it, the way you do it is by is by leveling up. I mean food from all over the world. I've I've eaten your food, and I mean not even guessing you up. You remember this. I ate the food and I was like, man, New York has the best food in the world. And then I stumble on a few places like these guys tricked me because that food was the best food in the world. New York has great food. But you, you, you,

you really take it up to another level. You've created something that's truly special. And everyone that talks about your collective talks about it with the level of excitement, pride, and joy because that's what you encapsulate. You know. You you take food and you create a story from it. Why do you think it's so important to do that? Well, we break bread to to build bridges, you know, and

I let pet yeah, yeah, what John said. You know, we break bread to build bridges, and for us, it's really important for our people to understand that the food that we that we eat and how important it is what we put into our bodies. So we're making conscious food, high vibrational food, you know, like food that's a life force, you know, straight from the source. You know, plants, you know, actually love the flavor from the soil to the oil. Man,

I like that a lot, You don't. You know what I love most about it is what I what I love about this, this this cookbook, and I love about the stories. It's first of all, it's more than just that, you know, ten million dollars worth, and you know what, it deserves a different name because it contains every you you expect the recipes, right, you don't expect what they'll be, but you expect recipes. But this book contains arts. You have beautiful images by artists shaped you know, hip hop

and communities around America in the world. It feels like you've infused more than just the food, but the people that would engage around the food. And that that, in and in and of itself, was an interesting choice. Why involve others in your arts? I mean, when you when you think about food, think about nourishments, and it's really about nourishing the mind, body and the soul. So that we have to we have to combine these arts, the music, the design aspect, you know, the fashion flee for us,

as you know, it's community builds immunity. So we like to work with, you know, our peers and people that we love and that we trust to create like pieces of art like this that will you know, last and standard test of time. You do that with your food as well. You know, you've never been afraid of sparking conversation. You've never been afraid of using your food to comment on what's happening in society. For instance, there was a dish that I remember hearing about. It was American as

apple pie, right? Was America KK right? And and the it was a deconstructed apple pie and it had a choke outline on the plate. There was a graphic image you know, to think about when you're having a dessert, and yet it was a commentary on what people oftentimes

ignore about America. Yeah, food is you know, food is the vehicle for us as an artistic expression, you know, for us to you know, express our feelings and our thoughts, and we do it on a on a plate and sometimes it might make people uncomfortable, but like that's what art is. You know, We're supposed to spark conversation and make me think deeper into all of the things that are happened. And it's just not eating. It's you know, food for the food for the mind is right right.

You've also not been afraid to challenge some of the ideas. You know, people love soul food. People have these ideas of how black people eat. We talked about this many years ago, but a lot of how black people eat has been defined by necessity as opposed to choice. And what you've done is you've come and you said, we're not scrapping these ideas. We're not We're not getting rid of what black people have created in a culture. But

what we want to do is improve on it. We want to we want to create worlds where the food deserts don't define our diets. You know, you you you've, you've you've chosen to go with health, You've chosen to go with a lot of um, you know, vegetable based diets. You've you've, you've really chosen to speak to something. I'd love to know why those recipes have vibration cuisine like he mentioned earlier. And we don't call it a food desert.

We call it food apartheid because it's not a natural occurrence. You know, this is social engineering areas that have been underestimated, underinvested in, and exploited. So it's the reason why people don't have access to fresh food. But we want to show examples of how we can make it culturally relevant, push it forward and making nutritions and delicious stealth health as well. Do you find do you find you're able

to break through? You know that there's this, um, there's this idea sometimes of what a black man should eat. I have half of my friends will if I give them a plate of salad or something to be like Sata Barry if there's no meat, I'm not eating that. It's just a bullshit. Do you find that your your your recipes breakthrough? Well, the future of food is planned.

It's conscious cuisine, you know, it's taking accountable calories and um, we really want to highlight that, especially in the neighborhoods that we're from that is suffering from that are that are just in desperation of healthy food. Right, Yeah, we want to change you know the sort of connotations and the context around the food in our communities and what we eat, so that you're talking about what black men should be eating, and we want to show, you know,

our community what we should be eating. If you want to perform at a high level, you gotta take things in. They're gonna help you do that. So, like we keep saying, high vibrational food, No, no low vibrations over here. You know, it's always high vibes. So nutrient dense. You know, plants like they're the primary source of protein. So you want to talk about protein, you know, eat some kale, some keen water, some sweet potatoes, you know, some chickpeas, come

and talk to me. And we've still got some twerk and jerk chicken man that so it's the balance. It's like twerk and jerk. You got the black power wild right, using African grain sort gum milled and rent. So we really want to have this continental cultural collision looking at the ingredients of the America's, the ingredients of Africa, the ingredients of Asia, and creating this combustion of something brand new. You've also taken it to another level because you're not

just creating on the streets. You're not just creating in communities. You you're you're also infiltrating areas that haven't generally been infiltrated by faces like yours. You know, you have a line of cookware that's out there and some you know, some of the biggest brands you make. You've got waffle makers, You've got it. I'd love to know waffle mixer as well. On the drill. Actually, I think you guys would come on.

You're giving everyone in the audience waffle mixer. I was watching the between the scene you all right, so for real, you do you're watching it between the scenes. We're open, and I'm like, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. We can't let the big old just you get inside and when you leave, so everybody got in Mercedes outside. Now we just joke. You got some waving waffle mix So get your fix. You know. This is what I'm talking every guest that might need to bring something for
