The two also weigh in on the current state of the U.S.-Iran conflict, the Trump administration's substance-free approach to governance, and how male body insecurity is manifesting itself in bizarre trends like "ballmaxxing."  -- CarShield is offering our listeners 20% off with the code TDS at https://CarShield.com/TDS [https://carshield.com/TDS] New customers can save 35% on your first month of subscription by going to https://dosedaily.co/TDS [https://dosedaily.co/TDS] or entering TDS at checkout. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Platner Calls It Quits in Maine Race & Trump’s Qatari Bribe Plane Gets Grounded | Aaron Chen

Ronny Chieng dives into Trump having to put his pre-owned, Qatar-gifted Air Force One in the shop due to security concerns, and Graham Platner drops out of the Maine Senate race in disgrace but still wants a say in his replacement (and sorry, it won't be Patrick Dempsey). Plus, as Democrats scramble to find another bro-ified candidate for Maine, Desi Lydic throws her trucker hat in the ring. AI is disrupting everything, including the midterms, and Jordan Klepper breaks down how politicians are harnessing the world's most annoying technology to smear their opponents, depict themselves as superheroes, and even engage in some good old-fashioned pandering by making it look like they have lots of Black friends. Comedian and actor Aaron Chen joins Ronny to discuss his new Apple TV comedy film, "The Dink." They talk about meeting when Aaron was 16 years old in the Australian comedy world, ushering in a new era of sports comedies with greats like Jake Johnson, Ben Stiller, and Mary Steenburgen, and teaching tennis champ Andy Roddick everything to know about acting for his film debut. -- CarShield is offering our listeners 20% off with the code TDS at https://CarShield.com/TDS [https://carshield.com/TDS] -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Trump Declares Iran Ceasefire "Over" & Goes No-Contact with Spain | Mayor Aftab Pureval

Ronny Chieng dives into Trump's appearance at the NATO summit "love-fest," where he picked new fights with Spain and Denmark, converted Japan into an Islamic Republic, and bemoaned his on-again, off-again ceasefire with Iran. Sen. Mitch McConnell's three-week absence has led many to wonder if he's even alive, but CNN's Scott Jennings put that question to rest with a totally believable claim that he chatted with the senator for an oddly specific 17 minutes. (tag)Michael Kosta went to the hospital where McConnell is staying to get the truth from the man himself, and defends the perfectly not-dead senator against a skeptical Ronny. Mayor Aftab Pureval, Cincinnati’s 70th mayor, joins Ronny Chieng to discuss the unique position of mayors in enacting local change. They talk about being a mayor of color of a Democratic city in a red state, balancing long- and short-term solutions as a politician and a statesman, distinguishing the no-nonsense nature of local vs. federal politics, and feeling frustrated with the Democratic establishment and calling for “a new generation of leadership.” -- CarShield is offering our listeners 20% off with the code TDS at https://CarShield.com/TDS [https://carshield.com/TDS] Go to https://Quince.com/dailyshow [https://quince.com/dailyshow] for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.
