On today's episode of The Daily Show with John Avril reignites a debate about whether or not Joe Biden is a good guy or a bad guy. Plus, a look at what it means to be a Democratic voter, and why the party can't read faces.
00:00:59.400So restart your engines if you have any problem.
00:01:01.980If you are subscribing to the Dilbert Reborn comic, which you can only get on the X platform, just the comic, plus the daily digital calendar,
00:01:13.640or on the Locals platform where you get the Dilbert comic and Dilbert calendar and Robots Read News comic,
00:01:20.600my subversive, extra, extra provocative comic, and a whole bunch more.
00:01:27.640If you were subscribing, you would know that the point of your boss's secretary, or assistant, if we like to say,
00:01:37.920is booking the boss into an Oakland hotel, even though the boss is going to San Francisco.
00:02:16.440Let me just put another nail in Bloomberg's coffin.
00:02:20.480Bloomberg, I don't consider a legitimate news source.
00:02:23.160They sent a reporter to spend a day with me back in the first Trump election for the sole purpose of destroying my reputation with an article that came up first and all the search results from that day after.
00:02:40.020Now, after, you know, after a few years, it fell away.
00:02:44.520But it was the number one thing you would find if you heard something that you liked about me.
00:02:50.180It's like, hey, who's this guy talking about Trump and his persuasion?
00:02:54.320And then maybe you'd look up who I am.
00:02:56.860And the first thing you'd see is a hit piece from Bloomberg full of errors.
00:05:48.100And it does tell you exactly what you think,
00:05:51.420that there's something going on in there that you should know about.
00:05:55.060So the good news is Caitlin Collins does not look crazy.
00:05:58.220So, yeah, to me, Biden looks actually completely, obviously evil.
00:06:07.000I can't even imagine anybody saw it any differently.
00:06:10.480But we're all different and subjective.
00:06:13.480So there's more controversy on the birth control question, specifically the pill.
00:06:18.940And I guess Charlie Kirk said some things in a speech yesterday that maybe some Republicans think didn't help them as much as it could have.
00:06:31.780You may have destroyed the planet Earth.
00:07:26.680As well-meaning and as well-argued as the pro-life people are, you know you're throwing away the entire fucking world for that one thing, right?
00:07:41.280Now, that one thing is really big in your mind and a lot of other people's minds.
00:07:53.700Do you have any sense of what you're doing?
00:07:56.060Because if you want to ride the abortion train because it's moral and it's ethical and you feel really strongly about it, you know that destroys the whole world.
00:09:57.800So when Charlie Kirk goes full, you know, full religious argument on abortion or about, in this case, birth control, which people conflate.
00:10:13.480And he's putting the entire planet at risk.
00:10:20.040Because if you lose the Republicans, you lose all sense of control in the country.
00:10:24.860There's no, there's no that's too far.
00:10:27.020You know, I was making the case yesterday that Republicans have a gating thing about stupidity.
00:10:37.360The Republicans can't do really stupid things because they get called out.
00:10:42.020But there are too many independent podcasters.
00:10:51.060You're basically, if you do something that's just plain stupid and you're a Republican, you're going to get savaged by the smartest people in the game.
00:11:02.680I don't know why people are letting this thing go.
00:11:07.740So I figure I'll wait in and take the shot.
00:11:12.020So, you know, if you need, if you need to kill somebody, kill me.
00:11:58.620But I think you're going to have to negotiate like a real person, not like a person who lives in the magical world where he can get everything.
00:12:07.660Now, my understanding is that Trump is going to take a few days before he talks about a six-week ban or something.
00:12:17.500There's some abortion question he's going to get back to.
00:12:20.680Trump is the only person who can fix this.
00:12:23.240Trump is the only person who can fix this, because he's the only one who has the capability to not only convince Republicans to stop destroying the whole fucking planet, he's the only one who could do it.
00:22:11.100Do you think there's like a special box or something that they put them all in because they know it's all going to the same place?
00:22:18.820So at some point, it probably gets sorted into one bin, don't you think?
00:22:23.560What is the control and video surveillance and chain of custody that's happening when the post office has a big old bin of mail ballots that are all going to one place?
00:22:41.160It's all, it's all, it's all, it's all registered mail.
00:22:45.960You're saying your mail-in ballots are registered mail?
00:24:39.000Whereas Greg Abbott, governor of Texas, posted that Texas has a surplus in the billions of dollars and they'll devote much of it to cutting taxes.
00:25:58.700There's a study, John B. Holbein is talking about this.
00:26:02.220There's a study that somebody did that shows that employers will be less likely to respond to an application for employment if the applicant uses they, them pronouns.
00:26:15.260And as John says, there's clear evidence that employers discriminate against non-binary individuals.
00:27:14.260I'll bet it's only they cared about people being a pain in the ass.
00:27:17.360And when you signal your they, them, you've automatically introduced a problem that non-binary people are not going to bring into the office.
00:27:27.020So does it have to do with being non-binary?
00:27:29.860Or does it have to do with recognizing that you might have a mental health problem or a narcissist or a troublemaker?
00:27:36.960It's just one more thing you can get sued for.
00:27:39.780So, of course, employers are discriminating against the they, thems.
00:27:44.860Of course they are, because they're rational.
00:27:49.860Well, the Apple Vision Pro virtual reality glasses, according to Rowan Chung, who's talking about that,
00:27:58.220it looks like they have this amazing thing now where you can make other people who are using the system appear as sort of floating perfect versions of themselves.
00:30:23.700And when I was done, I said to myself, huh, that's a good demonstration of something that might be useful in the future, but not yet for a variety of reasons.
00:31:09.700Have you heard anybody say that Alzheimer is really type 3 diabetes?
00:31:15.260Because I guess the Mayo Clinic has settled on that.
00:31:18.260So the Mayo Clinic, you know, one of your standards for, you know, healthcare, is saying that Alzheimer, maybe we've misunderstood what it was all the time, and everything we were looking at treating was a symptom and not a cause, and that the cause might be our food supply.
00:31:39.460So it could be that our food supply, and the way we eat it, and it's spiking our insulin, and sugar and all that stuff being out of balance, might be the thing that's primarily causing Alzheimer's.
00:31:53.940Now, do you think Alzheimer's, the rate of Alzheimer's, has gone up at about the same time that processed foods became popular?
00:32:03.480Feels like they both increased at the same time to me.
00:32:07.240Don't we have more Alzheimer's than ever?
00:32:09.460But it's a little bit hidden by the fact that we have more old people than ever.
00:32:14.280So if you have more old people, all things being equal, you've got lots more of this.
00:32:21.320So, have you ever noticed that people who seem to be eating well, as in they're not having any diabetes risk, they seem to be sharper in old age?
00:32:36.180Have you noticed that after a certain age, I don't think you notice that at age 30 or 40, but after a certain age, the people who have clearly taken care of their diet, they seem more mentally alert?
00:32:50.720I mean, it's just anecdotal, but it seems like it to me.
00:32:56.700So I think the Mayo Clinic might be on the right track with that stuff.
00:33:00.500Dr. Mark Hyman was on Chris Cormo's show on NewsNation, and he was talking about, yes, that's his last name.
00:34:50.700And he's saying that long COVID is basically inflammation, so that long COVID could be the inflammation that maybe you don't notice you have, and then you get cancer.
00:35:01.420So since we know inflammation, if you believe Google, if you believe Google, if you believe Google, because I Googled it and I asked, is long COVID basically inflammation?
00:35:20.140And the answer is yes, that long COVID, if it exists, and there's certainly some studies that say it's all imaginary, but if it exists, it's primarily an inflammation issue that lasts a long time.
00:35:33.700And inflammation is well correlated, apparently, to cancer.
00:35:40.820Now, let's address the elephant in the room.
00:38:04.500I don't know how you'd believe anything.
00:38:06.560How would you believe any medical claim about the pandemic?
00:38:09.420I think choosing a favorite thing to believe about the pandemic, whether you believe the vaccinations are bad or you believe the COVID, the long COVID is real, any one of those things can't be supported.
00:38:23.640In my view, there's no credible information about your medical situation.
00:38:29.740So to me, it's just guessing because the money distortion impact and the fact that we learned that even smart people don't know how to do studies, even smart people don't know how to read statistics.
00:38:44.060So I don't know what to think, but I would guess that between the food, the change of lifestyle, the loneliness that happened because of the pandemic, the vaccinations themselves in some cases certainly cause inflammation.
00:38:59.740And that would be admitted by the people in the business.
00:39:03.600They would say that some people do get inflammation.
00:39:18.280Dr. Paul Saladino showed that Wi-Fi routers are giving off way more radiation than you think, and it would be enough to affect your health.
00:40:44.720So at the same time that Wi-Fi, the mesh routers, became a really big thing, that's when cancer took off, especially in young people.
00:40:53.800But, same time as the vaccinations, same time as the COVID, same time as the pandemic disruption, and the same time as our food supply is getting probably worse every day.
00:41:06.560And meanwhile, all of our sources of healthy food are being burned down because all of our food processing plants are somehow mysteriously having fires.
00:43:21.200Just everything fell apart around 2019.
00:43:23.440Well, over in Great Britain, Ian Miles-Chun is reporting that the British government is under pressure to use the big houses that mostly retired people have to house illegal immigrants, or let's call them asylum seekers.
00:43:40.880So that's not a thing yet, but the pressure is coming down and the conversation has turned to, you know, these old people have a lot of room in their house.
00:43:49.720Why can't that senior citizen take a few of these asylum seekers?
00:43:55.980Now, it hasn't happened yet, but I think it's obviously going to, you know, you're going to have a new roommate from Botswana or something pretty soon.
00:44:07.000All right, there's a Rupar of the day.
00:44:10.680A Rupar is named after somebody named Rupar, who has a habit of posting edited videos that look bad because they were edited.
00:44:24.020There's a clip going around of Trump saying that the illegal migrants are animals, animals.
00:44:31.360But, of course, they cut out the part where he was talking about a specific crime that was caused by specific people.
00:44:39.520So that's a Rupar, but, of course, all the dumb people are posting that around.
00:44:46.240And Wokeness reminds us that the voter registration with no ID, there's no way to interpret that except somebody intentionally trying to destroy the United States.
00:45:00.520Because there is no other interpretation.
00:45:03.780That's somebody trying to destroy the country.
00:45:06.640Now, they may not be doing it intentionally.
00:45:09.240They may be so stupid or hypnotized or something, but there's no way this ends well.
00:45:14.440Because in three key swing states, Arizona, Texas, and Pennsylvania, this is the number of voters who have been registered with no photo ID.
00:45:25.360No photo ID, which means you don't really know who they are.
00:45:31.460In Texas, just this year, which I remind you is only a few months, 1.3 million in Texas.
00:45:49.520Pennsylvania, over half a million, and in Arizona, 220,000.
00:45:53.660Now, we also know that the Biden administration is flying people in by the hundreds of thousands to make it look like the immigration across the border isn't as bad because the flights are a little more hidden.
00:46:08.280So, yeah, it's exactly what it looks like.
00:46:11.560They are bringing in millions of people and then getting them to register without ID, which some say is to get them to vote, but others say the whole play is to get a ballot mail to them that can be picked up by Democrats and filled out any way they want.
00:46:28.020So, Texas is certainly at great risk of going blue because of this scheme.
00:46:39.600Trump has an opinion about what to do if other countries refuse to take back the migrants.
00:46:48.060And Trump said, on day one, I will seal the border and will begin the largest domestic deportation operation in the history of our country, he says.
00:46:55.660And then he says, if other countries say they won't take them back, I will say, yeah, here they come.
00:47:02.580Hold on to your britches because they're coming back.
00:47:06.120He's the only person who could do that.
00:47:08.940He's the only person who could say the plane's coming and then the other country, whoever it is, says, you don't have permission to land.
00:47:18.120And then Trump says, OK, well, you're out of NATO.
00:47:56.240JK Rowling's becoming sort of a hero there over in Scotland because she had she was at risk of being jailed for hate crimes because she likes to say that trans people are their original gender, which is totally unacceptable.
00:49:40.240So the Mark Cuban saga just gets funnier and funnier.
00:49:43.760So it started with Cuban saying DEI was great and arguing that all it does is make sure you're looking harder to get all the great employees that would be overlooked.
00:49:54.780And the people of color and women categories and LGBTQ, I guess.
00:50:00.260He was eventually educated online while we all got to watch, which was tremendous.
00:50:07.080And by the way, I give Mark Cuban all kinds of credit for doing this in public.
00:50:11.700You know, I've told you that all good things come from people who are not who are not embarrassed.
00:50:19.420He's like the ultimate not embarrassed guy because he seems to be like getting through this with no problem whatsoever.
00:50:27.520But my God, that would be embarrassing for anybody else.
00:50:30.100I think I'm the only other person that could get through something like this with no problem whatsoever.
00:50:36.380And it could be some people have suggested that it's a big play so that he can get talked down of DEI in public.
00:50:46.060That's not my that's not my interpretation.
00:50:48.420I think what really happened is that he had a CEO view of what it was.
00:50:53.660And when he said that even if the CEOs say the word equity, that what they always mean is equity of opportunity, not making sure you have a quota.
00:51:04.080But Christopher Ruffo showed the receipts and showed them in the company's own words and the CEO's own words.
00:51:11.720Example after example of the CEOs do mean it exactly as having equal outcomes.
00:51:21.440And certainly not every company, but a lot of them.
00:51:25.780So having learned that it is actually intentional, I think Mark still is of the of the sense that, you know, you could you could interpret it to mean equal opportunity.
00:51:40.540And he goes on to say that it's clear that DEI works great because in his companies, you can see it's really increasing his profits.
00:53:55.760And he reports that the University of Texas is closing down their DEI division.
00:54:00.320However, I think what's going to happen is red states are going to be closing down DEI and blue states are going to be adding it like crazy.
00:54:10.900So, I don't think there's any net decrease in DEI.
00:56:23.900The only interesting story about this is that there's a man in Texas who apparently got the bird flu from what they call contact with dairy cows.
01:00:08.680But the IDF assassinated this key Quds Force commander in Syria and Lebanon and other places.
01:00:18.680So, I guess they've attacked Damascus and Lebanon and even an Iranian embassy in Syria.
01:00:24.540And basically, if you're a top Iranian military person and Israel thinks you had anything to do with Hamas, they're going to get you wherever you are.
01:00:37.740So, some people are saying, my God, this is terrible.
01:00:41.320They blew up an embassy to get this guy.
01:00:45.300But I'd like to hear their side of things.
01:02:12.920I saw the suggestion, a few people have made the suggestion, that if Republicans don't respond with mutual assured destruction, they will never have another lawyer.
01:02:24.180So, some Republican state needs to just start picking off people, but I don't know how that works with the bar.
01:02:33.360Because the bar is its own process, right?
01:02:35.440The bar is not a legal process, is it?
01:02:42.340So, I don't know how you would make this work in a red state, because the bar is the bar, so it doesn't mean that they're going to go along with something like that.
01:02:50.280Good way to totally discredit the bar, yeah.
01:02:57.080So, now you've got an association that is supposed to accredit lawyers, that turned into the thing that discredits lawyers.
01:06:23.620And to me, it doesn't really pass the sniff test, because I can't see any argument where Israel would be, you know, in their little secret war planning room saying, you know, what would really make a difference is if we kill the aid workers.
01:07:20.580Turns out that the way they were doing it is they had cameras and they had hundreds of low-paid Indian workers just watching what people picked up.
01:07:32.360There were people just watching them on camera.
