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.

Trump Meddles in USA World Cup Game & America's 250th Takes a Nosedive | Author Ann M. Martin

Ronny Chieng covers America’s 250th birthday festivities, which included Trump rattling off a list of U.S. inventions and a skydiver crashing to the music of "God Bless the U.S.A." Plus, the president couldn’t help but meddle in the FIFA World Cup, where he personally intervened to challenge a red card against the U.S., accidentally defended birthright citizenship in the process, and got mocked by Belgian players doing his infamous "YMCA" dance. Grace Kuhlenschmidt plugs into the biggest headlines in tech: A robotic dog comes equipped with a flamethrower, a self-scooting robo toilet lets you go while on the go, a new delivery app delivers nothing but dopamine, and "actor" Tilly Norwood lands a feature role in an AI coming-of-age film. Author Ann M. Martin sits down with “The Baby-sitters Club” superfan, Ronny, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of her iconic series and the new book, “The Baby-Sitters Club Fan Edition: Baby-Sitter Summer.” Ronny shares how his older sister would read him the books as a kid, and finally asks his most anticipated questions about the series that were left unanswered. They also discuss her secret to getting kids to read, and the “Baby-sitter’s Club” musical in the works with music by KPop Demon Hunters’ Mark Sonnenblick. -- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit ⁠https://Hims.com/dailyshow⁠ [https://hims.com/dailyshow] -- Go to https://Quince.com/dailyshow [https://quince.com/dailyshow] for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns. -- Head to ⁠https://Superpower.com⁠ [https://superpower.com/] and use code TDS at checkout for $20 off your membership.

TDS Time Machine | America 250

Happy Birthday, America! Ring in the Fourth of July with The Daily Show's coverage of the weirdest party the USA has ever thrown itself, as Donald Trump turns America’s upcoming 250th birthday into a self-glorifying spectacle. Nick Offerman jokes about Trump-branded currency, coins, park passes, and a proposed “Arc de Trump.” Jordan Klepper attends the UFC fight spectacle held on the White House lawn on Donald Trump's birthday. Jon Stewart catches up on the calamitous planning of the Great American State Fair, and the fallout as musicians cancel en mass. Troy Iwata asks Americans what to put in a mandated national time capsule. Ronny Chieng introduces a biography of the one thing all Americans can still get behind: the 1992 US Olympic men's basketball Dream Team. And Jon, still in the afterglow of the Knicks big win, contrasts Trump’s gaudy “arch” and UFC spectacle with Americans’ unmet desire for healthcare and genuine community. -- CarShield is offering our listeners 20% off with the code TDS at https://CarShield.com/TDS [https://carshield.com/TDS] -- Head to https://Superpower.com [https://superpower.com/] and use code TDS at checkout for $20 off your membership.
