Trump's Post-Election Pressure on Pence | Ed Helms

you tonight. Dr Fauci and the coronavirus are going head to head. Swimming is gonna be banned this summer, and Sweden has found a way to make trash sexy. Plus you know him from The Hangover, you know him from the Office, and season two of his hit show Rutherford Falls is dropping today. The very funny ed Houses here. Everybody's excited, So let's through those people that jumps straight into today's headlines. Okay, let's kick things off with some

good news. The Food and Drug Administration has been given the green light to finally approve COVID vaccines for children under the age of five, which means, there are a lot of toddlers who are about to be popping apple juice in the club. It's just like, I gotta diaper. I'm got well down night, bitches. And this is also very good news for herschel Walker, because statistically, one out of every five kids in America is secretly his No.

But for real, for real, this is great news for parents of young children because while the rest of us, you know, got vaccine means and went back to normal, a lot of parents were stuck in pandemic mode with their unvaccinated kids. Yeah, they were just staring out the window and everyone else having fun, and it's just like, oh, they're going to the movies again. I should have used

the condom now. Of course, if you're not a parent, this is the worst news ever, because I don't know about you guys, but I've definitely noticed that over the past two years. You know, I haven't heard any kids throwing tantrums in the supermarkets. There's been no toddlers kicking my seat in the movie theater, and there were basically no children screaming on airplanes. Yeah, only those crazy Trump supporters who don't want to wear masks. What ye like

my mommy. But just because COVID is on the back foot right now, it doesn't mean it's not still putting up a fight. Dr Anthony Faucci has tested positive for COVID maby one year old Chief Medical Advice for President, but it is fully vaccine double boosting. He is currently taking the anti viral treatment packslovid. The one year old is only experiencing mild symptoms. We are told he has not been in close contact with the President and will

now work from home. That's right. Dr Fauci has COVID, which feels a little like finding out smoky bag or trapped in the forest fire. It's like, damn, I'm actually I'm actually surprised that Fauci is only getting COVID now and didn't get it. Didn't get it while he was like with Trump every day We'll think about every single day. Trump was like, Okay, covid, jash force. We're gonna kick off today's meeting by breathing in each other's mouths for

gender fifteen minutes just to get the energy flowing. Anthony, come here, Anthony opened that beautiful mouth, that open it open a way. And you know the saddest part. Dr Fauci, and yes, I'm talking to you. Dr Fauci. I know you watched the show. That's the fact that you didn't come to the White House correspondence dinner. Yeah, the President was there, Kim Kardashian was there, but you didn't come because you said you didn't want to catch COVID and

then you called COVID anyway. Yeah, probably from some boring government meeting. And let me tell you something now, people, that's my philosophy in life. I'm vaccinated. So if I'm getting COVID, you best believe I'm doing it in style. Okay, Yeah, I'm not gonna get it from some bitch ass PowerPoint presentation. No, people who lost me, Trevor, why did you get your COVID? And I'll be like, oh, that was one hell of a night. Oh damn that believes. I will say, though,

what a big moment for COVID as well. Huh to finally infect doctor Anthony Fauci. I bet COVID was really starstruck when it got in his body. Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god. It's really you, It's really you. Wow. I'm so excited. I need to catch my breath. I need to catch my breath. Oh oh man, Dr Faulji, I'm inside you. This is so crazy. Hold on, I gotta face time my boys. I gotta face time my boys. Y'all guess whose lungs? I'm mad? I know,

I know, and somehow I'm still taller than I'm this crazy. Okay, let's move on from the pandemic in people's lungs to the pandemic in America's democracy. Today was the third day of the January six hearings a K A v H. One's Behind the Riots Now. This session focused predominantly on Mike Pence, former vice presidents, and the inspiration behind the White Noise machine, because you see, Trump's entire plan to overturn the election hinged on Mike Pence agreeing to break

the law by not certifying the election results. And today we heard what might be the funniest recounting of the conversation that Trump actually had with Mike Pence, where the vice president would not agree to Trump's scheme no matter how hard the Donald tried. In the book Peril, journalist Bob Woodward and Robert Costa right that the President said, quote, if these people say you have the power wouldn't you want to The Vice president says, quote, I wouldn't want

any one person to have that authority. The president responds, but wouldn't it almost be cool to have that power? Vice President is reported to have said, no, Look, I've read this and I don't see a way to do it. We've exhausted every option. I've done everything I could and then some to find a way around this. It's simply not possible. My interpretation is no, to which the President says, no, no, no, you don't understand, Mike. You can do this. I don't

want to be your friend anymore. If you don't do this, you oh, then you know this is this is the part of the paradox of Donald Trump. This is already the paradox, like he has the most terrifying schemes in the world, but he executes them in the most hilarious ways. Because Trump basically he lives his entire life as if he's the bad kid in one of those anti smoking p s. As you know, he's like, come on, Mike, just try out returning the election, I thought you wanted

to be cool. Also, by the way, if there's one person who you can't entice with cool. It's Mike pants. He's the least cool man in the world. The man wouldn't even watch the Tenny Tubbies because they don't wear pants. And you know what's crazy about the story because Trump said it like this. Because he said it like this, you actually believe that is true? Right, because if the portson was that Pence said, sir, we cannot do this, and then Trump said, my interpretation of the Constitution offers

ample precedent, both legal and historical. People be like, yeah, there's no way that happened. That didn't happen. That's not real. But I don't want to be a friend anymore. You're like, yeah, that's that's that's my due, that's my due right there. That sounds like here. Also find it crazy that Trump thought they were friends, not coworkers, not acquainted as as friends. How how would that even be possible? What do Pence

and Trump have to bond over? Huh's just hanging out on the weekend, Like, thanks for bringing me to this club, Mike. The music is a little lame, but the ladies are looking good. Mr President. It's church. Oh that's why it burned when I walked through the girl turn leg get it turn leg get it all right, but let's move on to some international news. Here in America, global supply chain issues have caused shortages of everything from tampons to

baby formula and even PlayStation fives, which sucks. Have to play Elden Ring in my head. Dad, it's so hard. But it turns out the global supply chain also affects the globe, and right now in Pakistan, the supply chain is coming for an integral part of their daily life. Pakistani tea drinkers remain divided a day after a government minister urged them to cut down on their daily hot bed bridge as the country struggles with an economic crisis.

Pakistan's Planning and Development ministers says it's getting increasingly expensive for the country to import tea as supplies outstrip demand. Tea is a hugely popular drink in the country of two hundred and twenty million people, and the government has to spend about six hundred billion dollars on tea imports every year. The average person in Pakistan is believed to drink out these three cups of tea a day, but the minister called for people to drink one or two

cups less per day spark think outrage. I knew it. I knew this would happened. Yeah, people have been running around spilling the tea for the past few years, and now look because a shortage. Are you happy, shade room? Are you happy? By the way, I love how they mix the tea. The rest of us do te boring, just like they're like wow, waw waw. And I know people can get outraged about anything, but I'm not gonna lie. It is kind of funny to hear a story about

anyone getting outraged over tea. No, because you always think of tea drinkers. It's very calm, tranquil people, you know. But here they're like, you can take my own grade out of my caldas. It's so it's a whild It's like seeing Tom Hanks dropping the F bomb. I mean, that's where you know you stopped, you know what I mean. But when you understand how popular tea is in Pakistan, it makes sense, right, All of the outrage makes sense.

This is part of the national identity. It's like asking France to cut out croissants or North Korea to stop launching missiles at dolphins. That's just what they do. And I don't know if Pakistan will give up tea. I mean, they wouldn't even give up bin Laden, you know, but too soon, I will say this. Pakistan's government has to be careful about this. Yeah, tea shortages are known. Joke. Just look at America. You see what happens when your people get piste off about tea. At first, there's a

tea party, then there's a revolution. Before you know it, there's a great depression. Then you're fighting Vietnam. No one can afford houses, and suddenly you're making a movie where Ryan Gosling is Bobby Don't do it Pakistan, all right. Finally, Cities all over the world are always trying to find ways to encourage people not to litter. In Japan, they use collective shame and sing pole they'll just whip your ass.

In New York, we've just made the entire city one big trash can, so technically it's not even possible to litter. But in Sweden they've come up with something that might be the most effective method yet. Talking dirty in Sweden. Literally, a Swedish city has launched a campaign to encourage people to throw away their trash. Yeah, a couple of trash cans have been installed in our programmed to respond with seductive audio messages after somebody throws away their trash to

see Staria. Mm hmm, little mentim still assagn a golt crumb. Well, I guess now we know what it's like when Oscar the Grouch gets his on. Did not see that coming? Just and just by the way, all the guys who are using that trash can, I hope you know that it's faking it right? There's probably dudes walking away thinking, oh, I throw good trash. No you don't, No, you don't. It's actually funny how stupid men are with such simple,

stupid creatures. This would never work on women. On men, it works, yeah, Like we can wear as many ties as we want, but we're just basically stupid animals responding to a mazing call. You put a sexy woman's voice and you can literally get men to do anything. You realize we're being catfished by garbage cans, all right, and we can see that their garbage cans. But then we hear that sexy voice and we're like, well maybe much to mention, this is gonna undo a lot of parental

lessons about littering. Some ten year old boy is gonna be like, Mommy, I'm going to throw away my empty cap, and the moment will be like no no no, no, no, no no no, just throw it in the lake. Throw in the lake. It's better that way. You're not ready. And you know who this really isn't grateful as your trash can at home, because when it finds out what you've been doing out there in the streets, Oh, it's

gonna get super jealous. Well, you're home late, probably because you were out on the streets shoving your trash into that horror Again. You know that anyone can throw trash there, anyone. You're not special. I want a divorce and I'll take you the rotten banana peels with me. All right, that's it for the headlines. But before we go, let's check in on traffic without very own roy would junior? Everybody's that is happening? What is love weekends coming up? What's

going on the traffics? Lord? Man, I'm just looking at all these rich people out there on the road. Man, gas gas ten dollars a gallon being stuck in traffic. That that's that's the new balling right there. I don't care though about your jewelry. Tell me how long he was in traffic today? Like if a woman wanted me to rich, dude, just go stand on the freeway, Go stand right here. This is Boston, that's but yeah, go stand on the freeway in Boston, then rich people that

don't rich people. Man, you think that traffic is a flex absolutely? Absolutely, traffic ain't no broke bitches. This is strictly for ballers right there? Man, All right, what's going on in the traffic? Yeah? I get to the traffic in the second. Man, you know what's good about the infant thing? Like, I know people, you know, some people don't want to vaccinate infants or whatever, But I think

that's a good thing. I think it's a good thing if you give the vaccine to the baby, because now they got the micro chipping them and no more kidnappings. Now we know where all the kids will be and we can track them back because once you get the vaccine, you get the micro chip and no, there's no there's no micro chip. Where do you hear this? Did you enjoy the ramen you had last night on forty first Street? But I think you were there from seven thirty to

nine fifteen and then you left. You went southbound down Ninth Avenue. If I'm not mistaken, you vaccinated? Right? Yeah? I know it's it's an app. It's an app with links you with other people who has But I don't gonna be like, and you're not stalking you. The app told me where you was. That the vaccine tracking app. You ain't get the vaccine tracking up. I don't have the vaccine tracking app, but I got the app. I'm

what's happening in the traffic right you? You know it's really messed up about the tea the t over there in Pakistan, like, but it was a t shortist that's gonna throw off the balance of the auno Palmer's and Pakistan. You ever had an auto palm and the balance ain't right there? Will piss you off. Too much lemonade, too much tea, it's the wrong. You got to have the

honor Palmer just perfect amount. What why why you see if the al Qai to get ahold of some imbalance on a Palmers school, we got to go blow something up. Ain't gonna be mad. I'm telling you, man, I'm telling you all right, what's happen Tell me about the traffic, though, I don't wish you want me to tell you about the traffic that aren't just I just which people going and doing rich people, but which which roads are blocked and which ones are open? It's important. Man. Let me

ask you a question. If your friend, let's say you had a friend, right, let's say you got on by y'all cool, real good friend, right, and you go over his house and he got one of them six trash cans, y'all still be cool, right, Like if you knew somebody that like, ordered one of these six talking cans, just the freaky deacon trash can, Like, if you went over your friend house and he had the freaky Deacon trash can, you wouldn't judge him for having Huh, Roy, did you

order one of the sex trash cans? Oh? I didn't order to six trash can with custom you know, with custom phrases. And I didn't do that. I didn't say anything about customer praises. I didn't say them about custom phrases. I gotta go throw something away. I'll be right back. Thanks. I'm suspicious. I was very suspicious. All right, Thank you so much. Roy. All right, when we come back, We're gonna throw America a giant pool party. All right, I

love swallowing your trash. We'll be right back. Wait, okay, welcome back to the Danny Show. This whole week, much of the United States has been suffering through a heat wave, and if you've been stuck in it, please don't forget to drink water. Stay inside and check in on your elderly neighbors because they might have air condition as you can steal. But if you've been hoping to cool down at the beach or at the pool, you might be out of luck. As summer heats up. Some families are

cleaning down in the water at their own risk. A major lifeguard shortage is leaving many beats is unguarded and pulls understaffed, forcing some to close. The American Lifeguard Association estimating one third of the nation's public pools are impacted. The shortage is caused by a wave of factors. Young people have plenty of other job options to choose from, and training courses were canceled during the pandemic. Some pools

looking to pull in new lifeguards by upping salaries. Six Flags St. Louis is offering eighteen dollars an hour to lifeguards plus a five hundred dollar bonus. Oh, pools are closed for the summer. I'm gonna have nowhere to pay. But yeah, pools and beaches are in big trouble because nobody wants to be a lifeguard right now, which is surprising to me when you think every teenager would want this job. I mean, you get to work on your tan to relax dress code, and you get to make

out with all those drowning people. You know, you know, if you ask me, Americans are too soft. Yeah. I saw the story and I was like, Americans are too soft. You won't swim because there's no lifeguard. Man, if you told an African parents that you won't swim without a lifeguard, they'll be like, do you know who is your lifeguard? Jesus, don't forget that. Don't ever forget that. But this is a major problem, especially for pools that have to shut

down because they can't find lifeguards. Luckily, though, luckily, Leo Deblin has a solution for you. Are your beaches and fools goals for the summer because of a life guard shortage? You just want to swim? Well, ain't nobody want to save your ass from a shot, break out that swimsuit dom for summer. It's back gone. Introducing Leo Devilin Substitute Lifeguard. It's a car more cut out of reed that you can put up on your lifeguard chip, guaranteeed to look

real enough for the safety inspectors he's driving by. So now you can get back to doing what you love seeing in the pool. Choose your lifeguard type from multiple Leo Devilin models. We have Mr Nice Good, the whistle blow and of course I've told your ass. But if we start to drown, don't worry. All our lifeguards come with the built in speaker. That's got you cover. Someone else saved the dude, I just ate. So save your summer with the Leo Devilin Substitute Lifeguard. Ain't it eighty

five dollars? You can get that from your mom. It's a one time of boutil grounds. Let's get footler. That's like summers back on all right. When we come back at Helms will be joining me on the show, so don't go away. Welcome back to the Dayna Show. My guest tonight is after write and producer Ed Helms. He's here to talk to us about his show Rutherford Falls, which he co created and stars in. Please welcome at Helms right, all right, welcome to the day show. Thank

you so much. Although it is it welcome, it's it's a little weird because you you worked in this very same studio for how many years, like five for four and a half years. Yeah. I like what you've done with the place. Thank you very much, Thank you very much. Yes, crushed it up a little bit. We had a little pandemic in the middle, you know, touched a few things up, you know. Yeah, but your stuff is still here if you want anything, I hope. So no one's moved into

my office, right, No, no, no, good because that's safely space. Welcome, Welcome to the show. Thank you. Thank you. By the way, I love what you have done, not only with the furniture, but with the show. You're crushing it trying to Yes, I love what you've done with everything, um, because I mean,

you're easily one of the funniest people around. You know, many people introduced to you, you know, through the hangover, but everything you've done has been so funny and Rutherford, when I first read about it seemed like, oh, you're trying to throw it all away because it was a story of it. Really it seems like a crazy story. It's like, I'm going to play a white guy who goes into a Native American community and basically like fights

with them about their own land. It doesn't seem like comedy. Yeah, it's really funny and it's a great story. Yeah, well it's uh, you know, I guess that was that was the challenge, was to try to keep that character sympathetic.

I mean it really is uh like that the show was born out of this observation just that people were kind of not listening to each other and being crazy and and and so we wanted to kind of depict somebody who who is having trouble kind of hearing opposing views or hearing some that maybe his interpretation of history

is very wrong. And uh and and yet also that that that's that can be a good person who wants to do better also, right, Can I tell you what I love about the show is that it's funny, it's poignant. It has I think I'll stand to be corrected, possibly the largest um Native American writing room in all of television. Maybe it's like giants, it's up there you know, it's not top it's up there. It's up there. You you you have like a Native American cost, You've done the

thing that everyone says it's impossible. Everyone goes like, if you include people, then white people don't work. And it's like you're working, they're working. It's a great shows. I'm doing. Okay, you're doing okay, Yeah, you're doing okay. Um. Yeah, there's another show called Reservation Dogs, which is also amazing, amazing, and that show has a ton of Native American writers and directors. A lot of our directors. We shared a lot of directors between the shows. Um and yeah, it's

just it's been an incredibly humbling experience for me. I think, I think before getting into this, I intellectually understood the value of representation and I would I would, I could talk about it very fluently and and advocate for it. But but being in this experience has just like really made a kick in for me in a way that

I don't know. It's been. It's been incredible. It shows you know, because like the jokes that you're telling, the storylines that you that you have, it doesn't become something that it's not supposed to be. It becomes fresh, it becomes authentic. It's it's I mean, that's why I got renewed. Is it is what I think? You know, it's like season two, it's it's an exciting season change as well.

I don't want to spoil anything for those I haven't seen the first season, but essentially, your character comes into this world where he's trying to preserve his name, the Rutherford name comes in, realizes at some point that you know, his family doesn't stand for the best thing you know in the past. But as we're going into season two,

the journey changes slightly. What can you tell us about it? Uh? So, yeah, that you know we left at the end of season one, my character really had this like catastrophic identity crisis and uh and and I think going into it and and all of season one really I think, uh, Mike co creators Mike Schuer and Sierra Teller ornellis that the three of us like really wanted to grapple with some big ideas.

It's some big issues. Season two, we were like, well, we kind of did a lot of homework in season one, and this ensemble is so funny and our writers are so for let's just like lead into the comedy more. And so I think this season we still there's still a lot of very sharp satire that I'm very, very proud of. But it's also it's more joyful, it's sillier. It's just I don't know, when you say lean into

the comedy more, I'm excited at what. I'm also a little worried because no, I've heard I've heard stories about you. I mean at the Daily Show, you know with John Stewart when you were corresponding, you had a mole removed on camera for the show. That's true, Like actually, like the procedure on the Hangover, you allowed them to take out one of your teeth for the movie. That's like a real that really happened. Yeah, yeah, you see that. You see you were like, oh, special effects, No, that

was just him. It was just him being effective, that's all it was. So when you say lean and are you still willing to do the craziest people? So season two of this show, I I remove, I get decapitated my head. It's like and and you know, thankfully, like we've got great doctors and everything. It's like I'm fine, as you can see, but yeah, I go there extra mile, super committed super method. Yeah, Like, do you family and friends worry about you? Because I know people who go

the extra mileful comedy, Like does your dentist worry? Doesn't you know, do your doctor's worry? Yeah? I guess there's nothing. I don't know that if this is a good thing, but there is virtually nothing I won't do for a law. I have no pride or dignity, and so that's a very freeing thing. And shows this. I think it's not just freeing, it's the reason you one of the funniest, most amazing people that we get to watch on screen. Thank you for being on the show. Thank you for

joy in me. Yeah, I appreciate the huge sand. Season two of Relative Falls is now streaming our peacock. If you haven't watched the lots one Humping It two, you want to take prest Craig will you're right back ter thank rousing on. Well, that's our show tonight, before we go,
