Starting point is 00:00:00 Survivor 47 is here, which means we're bringing you a brand new season of the only official survivor podcast on fire. And this season we are joined by fan favorite and Survivor 46 runner-up, Charlie, Charlie, I'm excited to do this together. Thanks, Jeff. So excited to be here, and I can't wait to bring you inside the mind of a survivor player for season 47. Listen to On Fire the official Survivor podcast starting September 18th wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central. From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central it's America's only source for news. This is the Daily Show with your host Desi Leidick and Michael Costa.
Starting point is 00:01:12 We have a great show of you tonight. We're going to talk about how Kate Middleton's picture is worth 1,000 news articles. And Lara Trump and Jesus take the wheel at the RNC. And Congress gets to the bottom of whether Biden is old. But first, but first, Desi, I think we should take a moment to acknowledge equal payday because women don't earn enough and personally I'm sick of it. Oh, that's so nice, Michael. In fact, in the spirit of transparency, I'd like us to both say our salaries out loud
Starting point is 00:01:41 right now. Oh, um, we don't really need. to to to to to to to to to to the to to to the to to to the to to to the to to the to to to the the to the the the to the the to the the the wi the wi the wi the wi the wi the wi the wi the wi the wi the wi the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the wooooooooooooooo. the the't really need to do that. No, Desi, I'm an ally. I want to bring light to an issue affecting all women. Well, I mean, there might not be a pay gap for every woman. Some women might be making more than men. So I think we can just move on. $65 a week. That's what I make. Now, go ahead and say yours. $65 a week. $65 a week.
Starting point is 00:02:05 That's what I make. Now, go ahead and say yours. You don't have to be embarrassed. Uh, you're right. I make less than that, Michael. This country disgusts me. Well, now that we have that out of the way, there's a lot of election news today, so let's get into it with another installment of Indecision 2024.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Let's kick things off with the big campaign news. For years now, Donald Trump has gradually been taking over the Republican Party. First he got Ted Cruz's balls, then he took Mitch McConnell's spine, and now he's finally reached the butthole of the party, the Republican National Committee, and he's giving it a thorough cleansing. Dozens of staffers, getting laid off just days after Donald Trump's handpicked team took over the organization. Top officials and communications, the political department, the data team, all getting the acts. Lara Trump, the former president's daughter-in-law, is now the committee's co-chair. In her speech nominating Lara Trump, RNC committee woman, Beth Block, argued that it
Starting point is 00:03:13 doesn't matter if Lara Trump lacks traditional qualifications. In a world where qualifications are often measured by titles and years of experience. We are reminded of a powerful truth. God does not call the qualified. He qualifies the called. Laura Trump is the embodiment of this truth. This is the most mean girl introduction I have ever heard. A lot of people think that you should be qualified to have a job, but here's Lara Trump
Starting point is 00:03:49 anyway, take it up with God. But I guess why God would, but I get why God would bless Donald Trump appointing his daughter-in-law. I mean, Jesus was the original Nepo baby. Forget a job. He started an entire religion based on, um, do you know who my father is? There is some truth to it. Lara is completely unqualified. Of course, that's never stopped her before. And I'll keep this world from dragging me down. Gonna stand my ground. And I won't back down.
Starting point is 00:04:25 I mean I won't back down. You know, sometimes it's okay to back down. I mean, I blame God for that performance, although I think she proved that there isn't one. All right, let's move on to the man, the man, Lara Trump and her friend God, will be trying to defeat in November, Joe Biden. Biden's age and mental fitness has been a central part of the campaign, which tends to happen when you're 154 years old, and it's back in the news today. Special Counsel Robert Herr was at a hearing on Capitol Hill today defending his report on President Biden's handling of classified documents from last month, where Her described Biden as a quote, sympathetic,
Starting point is 00:05:10 well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. My assessment in the report about the relevance of the president's memory was necessary and accurate and fair. In Her's report, where he declined to prosecute the president, he writes, Biden did not remember even within several years when his son Bo died that drew a fiery denial from the president. Hmm, heard that? That's right. This special counsel got a lot of heat for calling attention to
Starting point is 00:05:36 Biden's memory problems. And look, I'm not going to sit here and say Biden's brain is perfect, but can we just be honest here? Remembering when things happened is hard. I mean, I can't remember dates from years ago, and I'm a young, fit, chiseled, patient, optimistic, Suduku doing handsome man. You know? I kind of pegged you as more of a word search guy. But no, it's true, like I have a really hard time even remembering my password.
Starting point is 00:06:01 I can't remember my kids names or if I have kids. I can never remember my husband's birthday. I can't I can't remember my own birthday. I can't remember my own birthday. Custer, you okay? You know I was I was going to make an appointment with my doctor but I forgot how to use the phone. But look the point is this. Robert Hurr testified about his report today and the Democrats took the opportunity to challenge his portrayal portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray portray the the to the to the to the to the to to the to to to the to to the to to to to to to to be to.

I now want to turn you to the transcript and day one page 47. You said to President Biden you have appear to have a photographic understanding and recall of the house. Did you say that to President Biden? Those words do appear on page 47 of the house. Did you say that to President Biden?
Starting point is 00:06:46 Those words do appear on page 47 of the transcript. Photographic is what you said. Is that right? That word, that's the word, that's the word, the tr-s s'er. that's the word, thrown. The's the word, that's gotta hurt. No. See what I did there, because his name is her. I turned a bit of a wordplay.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Yeah, no, I think we all get it. But it's true. There were lots from Biden's five-hour deposition that didn't make it into the special counsel report. And let me tell you, there's a lot of other important stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff, both Michael and I are trained thespians. That's right. So tonight, we present selected readings
Starting point is 00:07:29 from the Biden deposition transcript. These are all actual quotes from President Joe Biden's deposition on handing classified documents. You know, I went to Mongolia and great pictures. I unfortunately embarrassed the hell out of the leader of Mongolia. I'd sit with my national security team and say, we should follow up on this. Find out more about whether or not, you know, who killed Cock Robin, you know, and find out. You left everything in place. I just hope you didn't find any risque pictures of my wife in a bathing suit, which
Starting point is 00:08:17 you probably did. She's beautiful. I just warn you all, never make one great eulogy because you get asked to do everybody's eulogy. By the way, there's a restroom right behind us. I get to drive all these, you know, electric vehicles. I have. Damn, they're quick. You stepped your foot on the accelerator all

I told you, I was on the wait list of the wait list. Look, this is over.
Starting point is 00:09:12 You know, when you are such a premon. the day so don't go away. That's not fair. I'm just trying to set me about the answer to today. John Stewart here. Unbelievably exciting news. My new podcast, the weekly show. We're going to be talking about the election, economics, ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Let's turn to some major news out of Great Britain, where the royal family has photoshopped their way into a brand new scandal. Now to a royal photo scandal that has sparked controversy and conspiracies. The controversy started innocently enough,
Starting point is 00:10:15 a family photo of the Princess of Wales and the smiling children to mark Mother's Day here in Britain. But then came the kill order from several global news agencies. At closer inspection, it appears that the source the source the source the source the source the source the source the source the source the source the source the source the source the source the source the source the source the sources the source the sources the sources the sources the sources the sources the sources the sources the sources the sources, tooseauauauseauseauzeauice. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. Wee. Wea. Wea. Wea. Wea. Wea. Wea. Wea. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. the the the the the the the the the the the thoooo. the toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to. then came the kill order from several global news agencies. At closer inspection, it appears that the source had manipulated the image. There's like little misalignments, right? A sleeve that didn't line up with Charlotte's wrist. A skewered zipper on Kate's jacket and her blurred hand. There's a print on the top corner of Prince Louis's sweater there where the pattern doesn't line up.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Our hair abruptly ends on her right shoulder. Princess Charlotte's hand isn't in the right spot. Yeah, you know, you didn't need to do all that forensic analysis. You know how I know that's fake? There's three kids smiling at the same time. As a parent, I know that's impossible. Also, it should be noted, I didn't even know or care about Kate Middleton's leave of absence, but then you release a photo so edited they have to issue a kill order? Well now I'm all in, all right? And the Palace
Starting point is 00:11:14 better have a good explanation for this. Hensington Palace posting this explanation. Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion. I'm calling bullshit that Kate was the one who edited the picture. This is the royal family. They don't do anything themselves. They don't even pick their own noses. They have butlers for that.
Starting point is 00:11:40 You think she's doing her own photoshopping? The only thing they know how to do without help is adultery. Yeah. Oh. Unfortunately, this is only going to fuel baseless speculation about why Kate Middleton was hardly seen in months. And we don't want to get into all these rumors. Is she getting a BBL?
Starting point is 00:11:57 Is she divorcing William? Oh my, today? Do you think she's gone girling him?................................................... to?... to?. to?. to?. to?.. to?. to?. to?..... to? Is.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Oh my god. Do you think she's gone girling him? My TikTok was saying so. Tick Tock is always right. I think so. Yeah. Look, we can't just sit here and talk about Kate Middleton all night. You're absolutely right.
Starting point is 00:12:13 For more on Kate Middleton, let's go live to the Daily Show's Senior Royal Watcher Grace. Grace. Grace, what's the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th going th th going th going th going th going th Buckingham Palace? Well, Desi and Desi's friend, the palace is in chaos. They're eating beans on toast for breakfast. They're driving on the wrong side of the road. There's flying nannies everywhere. It's a mess. Okay, well, I think all of that stuff is normal there. But has the royal family explained why they released the road, there's flying nannies everywhere. It's a mess. Okay, well, I think all of that stuff is normal there, but has the royal family explained why they released a Photoshop picture?
Starting point is 00:12:51 Yes, the royals are taking full responsibility for this breach of trust by completely blaming the whole thing on Princess Kate's. Mistakes were made all around by her and her very real graphic design hobby. But the good news is she's doing fine and the palace just released a new photo that was taken this morning. See? Everything is normal. She looks great. Um, Grace, this is obviously manipulated. She's in front of the Twin Towers. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Yes, but you have to remember 9-11 didn't happen in England. Wait, you're right. I'm getting breaking news. The Royals have admitted this photo has been edited. They're saying, quote, on behalf of the entire royal family, this is Kate's fault. Wow. That was really insensitive of her guys. Grace, why can't they just release an unedited photo of the family so we know everything
Starting point is 00:13:59 is fine. You must be some sort of fortune teller, sir, because I'm now hearing they have a new photo of the family together. Yeah. Now, that is, that is one happy family. No, Grace, what are you talking about? Queen Elizabeth is dead. How was she even in that photo?
Starting point is 00:14:23 Yeah, the kids all have Al Pacino's face on them. And just to confirm, we are sure, none of her kids are Al Pacino? We're sure. Yes, we're sure. Okay, that confirms it's a fake. Oh. And okay, the Royals just released a statement saying, Kate made that one up too.
Starting point is 00:14:46 And they attached a list of things that are also Kate's fault. Okay, colonization, the whole Prince Andrew thing, COVID, and you know when you try to put a USB in, but you realize it's the wrong way, so you gotta turn it around around but then somehow it's still the wrong way that's also Kate. Can the royal family not just be honest with what's happening instead of trying to blame Kate for every PR? Well the good news is they don't have to because they just found a real photo of
Starting point is 00:15:21 Kate that should put all these questions to rest. Yeah. See, she's fine. Would a woman being silenced by a repressive dynasty be able to dunk like that? Two points for the princess. Yeah, something still seems off. You know, that's what I thought too, but on the other hand, she says she's doing great. So... That is true. Thank you, Grace. Grace Coolinchmit, everyone. And we come back. Jay the Marine will be joining us out of the show, so don't go away.
Starting point is 00:15:58 Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? Listen to the weekly show with Moines, a Emmy Award-winning journalist, podcast host, and author, whose new book is called Selling the Dream, the Billion Dollar Industry Bankrupting Americans.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Please welcome Jane Marie. I wrote a book. I'm sorry. I'm right. I'm fine. Hi. I wrote. I wrote a book. She wrote a book. She wrote a book. Yes, she wrote a book. Yes, you did. And I tore right through it. It's a great read. It's fascinating.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Thank you. It came out today, so I haven't heard any feedback. I don't know what anyone thinks of it. Is this the first feedback that you're getting? Yeah, outside of the people that help me write it. Well, it's a great book. Thank you how much we enjoyed it. This world is fascinating. you go deep into the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thoooooooooooooooooo. tho. tho. to. tod tod today. tod thi. tod thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. t. th. too. too. too. too. too. too. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. t We'll tell you how much we enjoyed it. This world is fascinating. You go deep into the world of MLMs. And people call them by many different names. MLMs, network marketing, direct marketing, direct sales. You can't call them that. You can't. No, because I'll get sued.
Starting point is 00:17:58 You can't call them that, but right here on the cover. I got a lot of help. I got a lot of help with the cover art. Yes. What exactly is an MLM? So a multiple marketing company is a business in shape like this, slightly. But we can't call it a pyramid. Yeah, there's a couple people at the top. Then they have the upline, the top sellers who are are supposed to recruit, like usually five people each. And then they're supposed to recruit five people, and they're supposed to recruit five people infinitely. And the way the money flows is that each person who signs up pays like a fee at the beginning to sign up.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Or sometimes they have to pay for some products and stuff, but they're paying those fees in. and then they fail pretty quickly, usually, and then more people sign up. So that's where the money comes from. And isn't it something like 99? 99% make no money or lose money. Only 1% make a dollar even. And we laughed when you said infinity because, infinitely,
Starting point is 00:19:01 because you can't keep doing that. 13 levels and you surpassed a population of the earth.. th. th. th. th. th. th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. that. that. that. that. that. that. that's. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, the money. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, to. So, to. And, that's, that's that's that's that's th. And, th. And, that's th. And, that's th. So, th. So, th. keep doing that. 13 levels and you surpass the population of the earth. Right, so, so, yeah. Absolutely impossible. Totally impossible. Yeah. M.L.M. specifically prey on women.
Starting point is 00:19:13 These tougher- These tougher- And we get to hang out with our friends. Wait, I want to make this about me for a second. But, um, please. Why not men? Why not men? Yeah. But no, there are. Why not men? I would love to go to a nose trimmer party or a beef jerky.
Starting point is 00:19:33 There are, first of all, M-LMs. There are, first of all MLMs. But 75% of people involved are women. And it's because the companies go after people who have some sort of economic precarity or like trouble moving up the ranks to, here's the thing. There's the pay gap we're fighting against. If someone called you today and was like, you could make another $1,000 a week just sitting in your house and talking to your girlfriends and to to to to your girls to your girls to your girl to your girl to your girl their their their their their their their their their their the pay gap we're fighting against. If someone called you today and was like, you could make another $1,000 a week, just sitting in your house and talking to your girlfriends and selling makeup. And now, if that was true, I would be doing that.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Yeah, where do I sign? Yeah, where do I sign? Let me do it. So, you know, we all make less than men. We all tak take care of the children. We have like, we don't have, especially at the age, you know, middle age, we don't have that kind of movement in the economy that other people get. And that's, and it's not just women because it's now becoming, you know, immigrants or people, you know, anyone who is a population that has hard time getting really good solid employment, which is everybody right now. I also feel like they sucker women in with this promise of, you know, you can achieve
Starting point is 00:20:53 independence. Yeah, you can be your own girl boss. And that's alluring. Girl boss, yeah, I'm 46 years old. When I hear girl boss, I'm just like, yeah, boss babes and fempire. But it's true, my great grandma did Avon. And it did help her feel like some agency in her life, because she didn't have a career.
Starting point is 00:21:15 She got pregnant at like 14 and had a bunch of kids, and really didn't have a job outside of that. And it felt good to get on stage or get a pin or get like a fancy jacket and be around people and be lauded. So I do think those things are really valuable. And I think the parties are really fun. They're actually super fun. I don't know. I did one in my house when I was like 20.
Starting point is 00:21:39 It was like a lingerie party. And everyone came out and modeled their boudoir sets. Go on. You toucest that a little bit, but besides just that you can make a thousand dollars a week, there are some psychological components that they recruit with. And to me, that's almost more powerful. Yeah. Tell me a little bit about what they do. So the recruitment is you know just things that appeal to all of us like you can have time and
Starting point is 00:22:09 money and freedom and you don't have to have any qualifications and the world is yours and we have a secret you know we have a secret that they don't want you to know. So yeah so then they rely on these logical fallacies that we all kin costs. And one of the ths ths th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the. thi theate, thi thi thi theateat theat the. the. the. the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the is th. th. th. the is th. th. the is the is the is the the the the the the the the the an the an thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. the an the an these logical fallacies that we all kind of rely on in our lives, and one of them is honoring sunk costs. It's like when you buy a lemon for a car and you get it worked on and worked on and worked on, there comes a point where you have to be like, there comes a point where you have to be like,
Starting point is 00:22:34 the try to be a thousand. What am I going to do? Walk away now? Like, no, I'm going to. I'm going to. I'm going to get all this time. And how much does it take for you to lose $1? I bet in like small $1. All night. It's like the whole free. I got a free martini, but I've got a free martini. $2,000 and I'm feeling the anxiety of even you just saying that or I'm like you can't walk away at 2000 so that's what they rely on is that they know we're all going to do that and there's a bunch more like the the idea that
Starting point is 00:23:13 And it's a truth that we feel losses much more than gains. We feel them in our bodies like as trauma and a gain is like? the loss is but a loss is like, you know, and so we do everything we can to not realize the loss, to not experience the loss. So we stick with a plan that's not working for a really long time. Is there, can the government regulate this, help us? I mean, isn't this what the Federal Trade Commission is meant to do? Is there legislation that can be passed to correct this? Things are being worked on, but I will say, just to give the FTC a bit of a break, their purview is so enormous. They are tiny, first of all.
Starting point is 00:23:58 They're like the size of the smallest of MLM, in terms of the people that are there and the money they get to use. They're tiny. And their job is, and listen to, like especially after the pandemic and stuff, their job is false product claims, credit card fraud, you know, fishing, spam, every kind of fraud, your grandma getting taken by somebody that she's never met over the phone. And when you put that up against MLMs, where the people the people the people the people the people the people the people they they are they are they are they're their they're their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. And th. And th. And thinks, and listen, and listen, and listen, and listen, and listen, and listen, and listen is, and listen is, and listen is, and listen is, and listen is, and listen is, and listen is, and listen is, and listen is, and listen is, and listen is, and listen, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, and their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their tiny. I I'm their their their their their their their their their tiny. And, and listen, and listen, and listen, and th. And, and taken by somebody that she's never met over the phone. And when you put that up against MLMs, where the people who are signed up are like excited about it, it's hard to put that first, although this is such a bigger problem than those things in numbers. So they have a tough task, and I don't blame them, you know, they're doing the best they can. So technically, MLMs M ML ML ML ML ML ML ML ML ML ML ML ML ML M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M.

I'm to them, you know, they're doing the best they can. So technically MLMs are legal.
Starting point is 00:24:46 What can... I believe they are not, but they exist because... I use this comparison all the time, like that's like being like, I'm a murderer and because I'm in jail and then I'm not a murderer because I'm not in jail. That doesn't make any sense. But the ZM should be illegal but they're not being treated as such. So what can be done? You say the FTC is not stepping in. No. What can smart American people do to not be lured in?
Starting point is 00:25:25 Buy my book! Buy my book! to buy my book! You do need five other people to buy the book also. But for real, what's our defense? It really is talking about it. You know, that's the only thing we can do because the government doesn't have the capacity and that's understandable because there are so many.
Starting point is 00:25:49 I talked to the FTC recently and one of the women I was talking to was like, it's a very target-rich environment right now. And I thought she meant, because I was asking her, why don't we go after, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and that's, and that's, and that's, and th.. their, their, because, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their... thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's that's th. that's understandable. that's understandable. th. about us. She was like this is the perfect environment for these companies to come after you like you we are all desperate we're all like wanting to realize the American dream and believe this is a meritocracy and believe this is a place where you work hard and you get rewarded for it and all that right whatever so so talk about it and be to tell your friends you, they're fine pitching you some garbage hair product or whatever. You should be fine being like, you know what, this is not cool.
