You're listening to Comedy CENTRALOW coming to you from New York City, the loosely city in America. It's the Daily Shown. Japan gets knocked up, It's okay that summer is almost open and happy Jakobson. This he's the Daily Show with v Thank you everybody, welcome to the thank you shot coming on. Thank you so much for shooting it. Thank you for coming out of contay. I can saying it's second. See that. Everybody taken see it. We're gonna ready fun

show for you tonight. Japan is faking a pregnancy, Donald Trump needs a mole removed, and New York wants you to commit murder. Plus our guest tonight is the one and only Abby Jacobson. So let's feel those people. Let's jump straight. And so today's headlines. All right, people, I'm gonna be honest with all the news that happened today. I don't think we have enough space for it in the show. I tried everything. I even tried putting in the suitcase and standing on you know, like so it closes.

But the news just get get kept getting caught in the zipper. And and so I'm sorry, but we just don't have time for it all. Fortunately, not enough time. It's just enough time for a segment week hall ain't nobody got time for that? All right? Let's kick things off with the ongoing saga of Donald Judeo Christian Trump, who earlier this week was rudely interrupted by the FBI when he was trying to hold classified documents. And there's a lot we don't know about this raid. What did

the FBI find? Why would Trump be keeping these documents in the first place. Has Trump's secretly been able to read this entire time? But now we may be getting a little more insight into why the FBI moved in on mar Lago tonight brand new reporting about what led the FBI to execute a search warrant Monday at Trump's Florida home. The Wall Street Journal reporting that the FEDS

may have gotten a tip off from an insider. After officials visited mar Lago back in June to ask about government documents possibly stored there, Someone familiar with the stored papers told investigators there may still be more classified documents at the private club. Trump World is now reportedly trying

to figure out who flipped. According to Rolling Stone, Trump is worried that he may have a rat or multiple rats in his mist He's wondering if his funds are tapped, or even if his bodies could be wearing a wire. Oh no, one of Trump's friends could be wearing a wire. This is the worst possible scenario because now he's got to tell Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon to take their shirts off, just be like, take it, you know what. On second thought, I'll just kill myself. And if this

is actually true, I am going to be shocked. I kind of believe someone would betray Trump's trust like this without getting a book deal. First, You're leaving money on the table. People, what are you doing? Also, by the way, before Maga world tears itself apart trying to figure out who's the rat, I think you should all consider the fact that Trump could be the leak. Okay, no, because if there's one thing we've learned over the past seven years is that he's the king of snitching on himself.

Before we know, he was bragging about it at the Marlogo buffet. He's just like this chocolate cake. It's almost as unforgettable as the classified documents I keep in my basement, but not a singled person. Note it was the perfect crime. By the way, that's a real picture of him at the buffet. We didn't create that. There are many pictures of him at the buffet. Now, if we had more time, we could get into how Trump has had such a tight hole in the Republican Party that they're willing to

put him above the law. Oh, we could talk about with a Merrickgland. I'm sealing the search war will convince Republicans that the search was justified. But we just don't have the time because while Trump is fighting off the FBI to former Trump officials are trying to dodge Iranian assassins turned to a story overseas. A member of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard is charged in an alleged plot to

murder former National Security advisor John Bolton. Investigators say the alleged murder for higher plant began to take shape after this drone strike in Iran assassinated Tamperani in General Constant Sulamani over two years ago. Iran found retaliation. The Justice Department is now charging Shiroan pur Safi, a member of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, with offering three hundred thousand dollars to murder Bolton. The FBI also alleges that per Safi had

a second job for one million dollars. The target of that job former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Yeah, that's right. America assassinated Iran's top general, one of the country's most respected and feared men, and Iran responded by trying to kill John Bolton and Mike Pompeos. It's not the same level. It's like it's like if your wife slept with your best friend and you're like, oh, yeah, well I hooked up with the I T guy at your office, Okay.

You know. In some ways, it actually says something about how divided America is, yeah, that it has nobody as respected as sole Money was in Iran. It feels like if anyone got assassinated in America, half the country would be like, hell, yeah, thank you Iran. And by the way, just as insult thand dollars for Balton, but a million

for Pompeo. Yeah, that's a big difference in price. I almost almost feel bad for John Bolton because I don't know what's worse being on an assassin's hit list or having the assassin's find you, and the assassin jumping out like John Bolton sag, I'm looking for a more important person to kill. Do you know what I could find him? Yes? Yes, point me in the right direction. Also, by the way, if Iran was willing to pay a million dollars to kill Trump secretary of State, they should have just asked

Trump to do it. I mean, he was gonna get his vice president killed for free. Come on, people, think about it. Think about it. No, but for real, I do feel bad for John Bolton. I mean, yes, he's always trying to bomb every other country. Yes, he brags about overthrowing governments, but being hunted by the Iranians can't be fun. I mean, it definitely explains why he's wearing that stupid fake mustache the whole time. It's real. Oh sorry,

my bad. Now. Now, if we had more time, we could talk about how America sees nothing wrong with assassinating foreign officials whenever they like, but ax serprise with other county want to get revenge. You should have turned the other cheek. But we just don't have the time. God damn it. Because while Iran is trying to get rid of people, Japan is trying to figure out how to add people to its population. The only problem is who

they put in charge of that. Japan has replaced the female minister in charge of reversing the country's falling birth rate with a man who has never had children. Messanabu Ogura said he gained an understanding of the issues facing expectant mothers by wearing a simulated pregnancy belly for twenty four hours, telling reporters that wearing the sixteen pound prosthetic left him with sympathy for women and back pain. This is the dumbest shit I've ever heard in my life.

If having a big belly helped men understand women, the patriarchy would be long gone. What are you talking about. There's the dumbest thing you have all it every with his bag also like what a bitch ass one day and he was like moll my back. Not aside from trying to misdoubt fire their falling population problem, Japan is trying everything to figure out why their people aren't having more babies. And look, I'm not a scientist, but if

you ask me, maybe it's because they invented the PlayStation. Yeah, that thing has prevented more pregnancies than every condom die fragm and I you d ever made ever? That's real birth control. Yeah, be like, all right, baby, you ready to have some sex or we're gon have some real sex and that goods gonna be alright, Let me just finish this mission. Let me I just I love the RPG. Your boys get online. We're gonna all night. Baby. You're probably gonna want to live the rest of your life

without me. Yeah. Now, if we had more time, we could talk about how Japan is a warning to every developed country in the world that if your immigration policies are too restrictive, at some point, you're population is going to collapse. Oh, if we have time, we could have so much fun talking about how Japan basically has a secretary of road dogging, which is wild, Like what does he do to the arm meats like snipe holes out

of condoms. I'd love to figure it out, but nobody got time for that because we have to go to a break. But before we do, we have to check in on the weather with our very own dassilic everybody. Don't hope you feel so off? Does he? A? You're gonna tell us about the weather. Yes, Trevor, let's talk about whether a man should be wearing a fake pregnancy belly. Let me just say, as someone who has been pregnant, I can tell you the belly is only of the

full experience. It would be more realistic if he wore the fake belly and then got punched in the dick for thirty six hours straight, and then that dick got ripped off, and then he had to raise that dick for eighteen years. Ah, the miracle of life. But at least he's trying go and that goes. That goes both ways. I've always said that, which is why I've been trying to understand the male experience better by acting like a man like I've been getting paid more for no reason.

I have like three friends named Kyle. I'm talking a lot about bitcoin, even though I don't know anything about bitcoin. Wow, DESI, it sounds like you're really I've been interrupting people more. I didn't really get it back. Great, Well, maybe once you get the hangar. Yeah, so all you have to do is wait until someone starts talking, and then you start talking. I know what interrupting is. It's when you speak on top of somebody else. Actually, Trevor. It's when

you interject before someone's completed their thoughts. Does he stopped man flating to me? Okay, alright, calm down, don't act crazy kid using me. Has anyone told you you should smile more? Give it a try, Give it a try. Let's see those dimples. You know what I'm I'm just gonna need a moment, So let's take a break. Does he light like everybody? And when we come back, Runny check will what summer is terrible? So don't go away?

Welcome back to the Daily Show. You know there's so much arguing in America today, but we hear at the Daily Show. I think they could be even more so. To do our part, here's Ronny Chang with another installments have proved me wrong, ice cream vacations, long walks on the beach, hit all that ship. We're gonna prove me wrong Summer edition. Summer is the worst season? Proved me wrong? Well, I would say summer is the season where everyone's the happiest.

During the summer, everyone gets to come outside, everybody should turns into a raw shack test. But during the summer, when everyone's swatian grows, everyone's Swatian growth. We're all equal during the summer. So you're making a Marxist argument for b o during summer. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, sorry, this is the free world. The top one percentsion not have b oh. How do you smell? Go ahead, smell, I dare you smell the ship right now? You smell like me.

See we're the same. That's not a compliment. Pools are better than ocean's grove me wrong. Pools a stinky. They have nasty people that go in there. They just getting it if they funky bodies and they're sweaty cells and just PLoP up in there. Yeah you think people don't pee and poop in the ocean. It's not just people. By the way. You think whales are coming on land to take a ship, Yeah, if they want to. They're

not just shipping in the ocean. It's whales, jellyfish, seals, it's octopus, it's everything in there's just shipping into your mouth. Oceans are just pulls that are trying to kill you. Give me. Shark sightings have been here this last week. There's five Like, did you see the shark? No? Interesting? So the argument is I didn't see the sharks, so therefore the ocean is safe. Good luck out there. I've never seen a shark at and myself, so what you're shot?

Denier get food from the pools either, there's no fishing put in the ocean. On m'd be sustain eating myself fresh coconuts, fresh fish. You can't eat anything near the ocean. Sand gets in protein. Put your money where a mouth is. This is food. This is your food on the beach. Not good enough for you. Okay, I got some bad news for you. There's no protein in sand. Thanks for the fries. Thanks, bro. Pigeons up better than seagulls. Broke

me wrong. Pigeons are literal like rats with wings. Genetically they used to beat white, but then out of like Darwinism, and like after all these years they actually turned black to adapt to like certain environments, and they're so gross.

Why do you have to make this racial. We'll talk about pigeons as a seagulls not why do you watch no, But it's like it's over time, like they start genetically they used to be white, but genetically, over time they have been canceled for less than that with a popsicles cross, I don't need to watch someone for late dessert eating. I exchange groes enough. At least you can't deep throw

with it. I'm sorry. It prepares you for life. That's a lot of work, and there's lots of instances where you have to do things similarly to eating a popsicle. And you work in show business. But popsicles are good. Man. You got all different cons of of flavors, like whats you got an original? Pops bomb? Pops None of those are flavors. Okay, so you tell me what flavor that is. This is great and I absolutely love. Everybody hates on it, but it's so good. Grapes don't taste like that in

real life. Okay. The guy who created the flavor grape clearly has never had a great before. Yeah see, no, that's you ate it like a pelican. You didn't even chew it. How did you do that? It's sticking to your beard? Now that's so good? Yeah see that's no man, popsicles on gross? You are gross? Which one you got against? Popsicles're messy? They make my hands stick. Why you don't eat it fast enough? Yeah? I can't put it in your mouth fast enough. Why don't you demonstrate? Right? Now,

oh yeah, okay, that's very experience. No mask you ever still had my lip cloths on? Okay, you know what that was? Actually, as much as I want to hate on that, it was actually pretty impressive. I feel like you actually did prove me wrong. So you know what, what's happening, all right, is that what I win? You get to wear the golden thong. You have now earned the right to take my place behind the proved you've clearly proven me wrong. That's what happens when you proved

me wrong to take over. No, you gotta take my place now. It's like highlander. You're right, now, take take my spot. Thank you so much about running all right, Stay tuned because when we come back, Abbe Jacobs and will be joining me on the show. Don't Go Away. Welcome back to the Day Show. My guest tonight is actor White and producer Abbie Jacobson. She's here to talk about co creating and starring in the new series A League of Their Own, which will be available to stream

August twelve on Prime Video. Please welcome Abbie Jacobson. An Jacobson, welcome back to the Daily Show. For having me. It is so good to have you back lost time you were on the show. Um, we're talking about the end of broad City twenty years ago. It feels like it does like what I didn't know was you already embarking on a new journey to start league of their own. And I love how you've taken a movie that's a classic and turned it into something that's super current to

what's happening today. But it feels like it's it's very much in touch with the original. I love to hear that. Yeah, it is a it's it's quite a classic. It's it's people's favorite movie. It's a lot of pressure, it is. It's one of my favorite movies. Is why we wanted to do it. But you know it was made when and it's a it's a two hour film. This is a TV version. We have a lot more real estate, and we wanted to tell a lot more stories. There's a lot of things that Penny Marshall hinted at in

the film. Yes that it's like alluding to to Finkure. She had to do that though. But what what's great is that the story talks about everything. It talks about sexuality, you know, it talks about acceptance, it talks about you know, even even that that that that little nod to oh, segregation, It's like, you've got the fight for women's rights, but the black women often excluded from that conversation. And now you've gone, I'm gonna bring all those conversations, but I'm

not going to allude to them. No, We're going full on no eluding. Yeah, I mean it's a women playing baseball. I think some of them are going to be queer. I think we're Yes, I think so. And none of them were in the film, even though it's like this kind of iconic game movie, there's no like, no one's gay in it, Rosie's in it, not. There's a little touches. And the more research we did, the more we found out that this was a really queer league and cure.

People didn't just show up at Stonewall like we've been around forever. And so the more researcher did abou queer culture in the forties, which is like, was so exciting to dive into those stories. And then there is this this scene in film that you all know as well, which is an iconic scene where there's a foul ball and a black women pick stuff and chucks it back and it's like she, why is it? She's a great arm And then that's truly it. If you blink, you

miss the scene. It's so short, and in ninety two, I think Penny couldn't tell that story as thoroughly as we can now. And so in that league that the film features, women of color were not allowed to try out. They were not a play. And so in this show we find out, well, what happens when that door opens for my character and a lot of other white women in white passing women to get to play in that league,

and what happens when it closes. And and this other main character in the show, which you're all going to find out when you watch the whole thing, Uh finds her own team and and her characters loosely based on these three women who played in the Neger leagues. Tony Stone made me Johnson and Connie Morgan. So once we like found out, once I found out all about them, that was the most exciting part to tell their story. I think you tell it well. I think it's really funny.

I think it brings so many stories together. One of the most amazing moments for me. You know, you say, you say the word research a lot, and I hope everybody understands you actually did research the league itself. You talked to women who played baseball, You talked to them about the experiences. You had one of the most amazing moments where you shared the fact that you're quit with a baseball legend. Yeah maybe yeah, and she came out yeah.

So again, We've been working on this since and research was such like every iteration of the writer's room, all the department has had access to all the research and so in doing that, we met a lot of the players from the league and a lot of other softball players that that are still around. And Maybell Blair, who was consulting with us on the baseball part, you know, Will Graham and I who co created it with me.

We we had a drink with her. She has this like dive bar down in California that she loves and she brought us out to like a five pm dinner Old and so we were like, we gotta bring this part up. And I was like, you know, I'm queer. Will Square was like outing us all uh, you know, I feel like that was missing from the film, like there had to have been queer characters. Do you feel like that was missing from the film, and she took

a breath. I was like, well, you know, I'm gay and I've never said that to really anybody, and queers not a not a term. She was like that that was a slur for a long time. And so she

told us about four years ago. But we just premiered at Rebeca in June and she came out on stage publicly and that was amazing, and I mean, she's ninety five, and it just shows, like these stories we're telling in the show, I just feel very proud to be to be showing this kind of representation because I mean, it took her nine It was an incredible moment, but it also took her to be nine five. So that shows how dangerous and it was to be queer and still is to be queer, and how important it is to

show these stories. So I think that's that's what makes it so powerful, is you know, you use the comedy to get us in and it's a really funny show. I hope everybody like watch it for that reason alone, if you want, it's super funny, But the reason you're

gonna stay is because there's so much heart. It like talks to the precarious nature of being queer and how you can and cannot exist in certain spaces, and then it talks about everything it talks about, like how women have to sort of step out of the spotlight when the men are like, we're coming back to check out league. It's it's it's a really funny show. I think you've done a great job. I hope it goes on for many, many, many seasons. I hope we just see you again with

more and more and more and more. Come back a couple of months. Yeah, just keep coming back to So much for joining again. So it's wonderful, ativity so much fun having jackon said, everybody's gonna play a quick right over the right back after this. Thank you again. We'll shout it tonight. And so next time, stay safe out there, and remember your best friends could be Wyatts happing your conversations.
