Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, the weekly show. It's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting. You'll be saying to yourself, TGID. Thank God it's Thursday. We're going to be talking about all the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election. Economics. Earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that fourth, but in importance it's probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday?

I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central. From Chicago, the city named after that Broadway musical. It's the Daily Show's Indecision 2024. The Democratic National Convention. Broadcast with your host, Desi Leidick. Welcome to the baby show. I'm Jesse Leidick and we are in Chicago! Oh, I love the city.

I am seeing so many famous Chicago places from movies and TV. I ate at the restaurant from the bear. I went to the museum from Ferris Bueller. And tonight after the show I'm gonna go rob the house from home alone Chicago. Yeah. But of course, of course we're here for the Democratic National Convention, and last night was so jam-packed with speakers that even music legend James Taylor got bumped for time. Yeah, but good news, we've got him on our show tonight. Yes.

Jane Taylor will be here. But first, let's get right into our coverage of Indecision 2024. It is day two of the DNC. All of the delegates are gathered from across the country to participate in this most hallowed and sober-minded democratic process. So let's go live with our own Ronnie Chang! Ronnie, a lot of major players there tonight. Who are you talking to on the ground? You got Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Doug Emhoff. No one, Desi, no one would talk to me at all. It's like, they're not even

taking me seriously. Why do you think that is? It's pretty obvious, duh, racism. Yes, definitely racism. Thank you, Ronnie Chang, everyone. Okay. Okay. That was immensely unhelpful. So let's go back to night one. Last night was all about President Joseph Retirement Biden. And everyone came forward to toast the man of the evening, including a surprise appearance from the woman who's been taking measurements in his office, Kamala Harris. And I want to kick us off by celebrating our incredible President Joe Biden. We are forever grateful to you.

Well, President Biden's lifetime of achievement, we owe him a great debt of gratitude. Thank you to Joe Biden. Thank you, Joe. Thank you, Joe. Thank you, Joe. And God Thank you Joe. Thank you Joe. Thank you Joe. Thank you Joe and God bless you. We love you. That is, that is so nice. I mean even Nancy Pelosi was chanting we love Joe and she's the one who pushed him out of the race. It's like the iceberg. I mean, that the one who pushed him out of the race. It's like the iceberg, waving goodbye to the Titanic. Now, before President Biden came out to speak,

we got to hear a powerful speech from Hillary Clinton. Thanks for everything. Now, before President Biden came out to speak, we got to hear a powerful speech from Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State, and the reason you have a trauma response, every time you hear, this is my fight song. She made a case for Kamla Harris while making the case against Donald Trump. Although there was one moment where she also sort of became him.

The first person to run for president with 34 felony convictions. As vice president, Kamala sat in the situation room well well looks like the lock them up e has become the lock them up E has become the lock them up purr. Look at that smile. That's the smile of a woman going, I get it now. Sometimes it feels good to be bad. I thought Hillary's whole speech was very moving. In fact, she killed it, although it will be ruled a suicide. On the other hand, over in the right-wing media world, they had a major complaint.

Hillary Clinton, she's the most joyless person I think was ever walked on this earth. That speech of just like her kind of like Stalinist negative half-screaming to the crowd. Come on, criticizing Hillary for being joyless, why don't you go post a harambé meme on Vine, you 2015, piece of shit? But if conservatives hate Hillary not smiling, I'm sure they'll love Kamala, who was all smiles last night. Kamala Harris came out on the stage. All the laughing, it's like she got into the sherry or something. Come on, guys.

Hillary doesn't smile enough. Kamala smiles too much. You know what? You don't get an opinion on this. Okay? You get to control one hole. Not too. And you picked one hole. Women can't win. This right here is exactly where I'm going to have that plastic surgery where they remove your

mouth entirely. It's just, it's just easier. It's just easier. But let's move on, because remember, this is Joe Biden's night. And it's actually starting to get a little bit late, so let's get to Joe Biden. Please welcome. Former Rhode Island Governor, Gina Raimondo, Robert Garcia, Dick Durbin, Doris Johnson, Jessie, Tony Goldwin, Steve Kerr, Sean Fane. In the words of the Great American poet, Nelly. Tony Goldwin, Steve Kerr, Sean Fane. In the words of the great American poet, Nelly, it's getting hot in here. Okay, yeah, I guess we had time for a dad-bodd strip tease.

Okay, yeah, I guess we had time for a dad-bodd tease. But guys, it's really getting late now. So let's wrap up the other speakers and bring out Joe. Please welcome Congressman Jim Clyburn. Raphael, Raphael, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Jamie Raskin, Jasmine Crockett, Chris Coons. And I want to talk with you for just a few minutes. It is this still going on?

No disrespect to Chris Coons, but fuck Chris Coons. It is almost midnight. Mom has got to get to bed. And you know who else has to get to bed? Joe Biden. For the love of God, let's hear from Biden. Please welcome Ashley Biden. Not that Biden. It is 11 o'clock.

You can't be introducing new Biden's right now. Do we have to go through the whole family? Is Commander Biden going to come out after this? It was so late by the time Biden actually got on the stage. Even the right-wing pundits were insulted. A sitting president pushed out a prime time. It was incredibly disrespectful. I mean, no matter your politics or how you feel about the right-wing pundits were insulted. A sitting president pushed out a prime time. It was incredibly disrespectful. I mean, no matter your politics or how you feel about the current commander-in-chief,

he is the current president of the United States. I almost felt badly for him. Is the ultimate slap in the face? Is this really how you treat someone that you love? I just think that's disgusting. I'm sorry, I'm very confused here. Do you guys hate him or not? Joe Biden is a corrupt leader of a crime family who stole the presidency and how dare they keep him up past his bedtime?

The nerve! The nerve! But finally, finally, Joe Biden took the stage at 1126 Eastern Time, which is late, although I will remind the East Coast media elites at Fox News that there are other time zones. And I'm in one right now. Very much. I like it here. Now you might expect that by 1126, Joe Biden would be coming to the stage in pajamas in one of those old-timey sleeping hats. Instead, he gave his most high-energy performance in a long time.

Putin thought he'd take Keeve in three days. Three years later, Ukraine is still free. China will inevitably surpass the United States. They haven't noticed. No one's saying that now. He never built a damn thing. Who in the hell does he think he is? Who does he think he is? Not worthy of being Commander-in-Chief. Period. Not then, not now, and not

ever. Uh-huh. Oh, excuse me, is it getting hot in here? Aside from bringing the energy, he also brought all the feels. I've made a lot of mistakes in my career, but I gave my best to you. For 50 years, like many of you, I've given my heart and soul to our nation. And I've been blessed a million times of return to the support of the American people. But I hope you know how grateful I am to all of you. It's been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your president. I love the job,

but I love my country more. This was one of Joe Biden's finest moments. He was forceful. He was selfless. He was patriotic. This was one of Joe Biden's finest moments. He was forceful. He was selfless. He was patriotic.

Honestly, it almost made me wonder if maybe we should go back and... Oh, Jesus, Nancy! Damn it, I take it back. For more on Biden's big night, we go live to Troy Iwada. Troy, after Biden gave that great speech, do you think Democrats might have any regrets? No. No. I mean, no, no. No, no, no, not at all. They appreciate everything Joe Biden has done for them, but they're also happy he's gone. And that's why I'm here at the greeting card store. I'm looking for something that says, we love you while also saying,

do not come back. Nancy Pelosi gave me $1,000 to buy one with just the right message. Wait, Nancy Pelosi gave you $1,000 to buy a card? Yeah. She just, she doesn't know how much things cost. You know, also, I think she thinks I'm her assistant Steve. What makes she think that? She keeps calling me Steve.

So, anyways, here's one. It says, thanks for the memories, and just to be clear, we're not going to make any new ones. Or there's this one. This says, you've done so much for us, and we're all good now. Thanks. Wow, Hallmark's making very specific cards. Yeah.

How about this one? It says, don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. But just to reiterate, it's definitely over. Sorry. I don't know, Troy. That seems kind of mean. Yeah. Well, here's one.

To my dear president, thank you for your years of service. But what I'm most grateful for is your statesman-like surrender of power. You will be enshrined in the history of our nation. Oh. Yeah. That one's beautiful. It sounds perfect. Yeah, but the comic, it's in comic sans font, so... All right, Troy, we need you back at the studio,

so just pick a card, any card. Okay, all right, David Blaine, calm down. Okay, forget the cards. I'll do what I normally do, and just, when I thank people, I'll just Ben Mohem $20. Troy, Nancy Pelosi gave I can do is 25. Troy Watt everybody! When we come back, the best fucking new team with the convention floor and coming up the great James Taylor, so don't go away! Hey everybody, John Stewart here.

I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, it's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting. You'll be saying to yourself, TGID, thank God it's Thursday. We're going to be talking about all the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election. Economics. Earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that fourth, but in importance it's probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday?

I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the Daily Show. The Democratic National Convention is in full swing, and the delegates are feeling good. So our news team went over to see if anything could ruin the good mood. Everybody knows I'm known for my positive vibes and happy-go-lucky attitude. So let's go talk to some left-wing nerds here at the DNC. Every convention has a theme, and this year's Democratic Convention is all about the DNC. Every convention has a theme and this year's Democratic Convention is all about the vibes. What's the vibes here at the convention?

Upbeat? Sparkling. Positive? I'm all about the motivating vibe. Let's get it do. Are you feeling electric? I do feel electric. Don't shock me if I touch you. Woo! That's a little electric there. What's your personal vibe? Electric top-tier vibe. I went like viral. Like last week. For having good vibes? Wow, bop, bop.

Just walking down the street. There are people who have nothing to do with the campaign. And they're talking about the campaign. It just feels like we're feels like we're gonna do this. Oh, God, it feels so good. It's almost as though the Democrats won't fuck this up. You, either of you recall a time when the vibes were so high from a political event? No. No.

Not really, no. For me, it was when Patty LaBelle couldn't find her background singers at the 1996 national team. Yes, yes. Where my background singer? Who? Thank you. Yes. I'm hoping for another one of that. Tap in here. Let's say it together.

One, two, three. Where my background singers? Where my background singers. The vibes are great, but should they be? The country's in serious trouble, and we don't know how Kamla is chance to drop the vibes and talk policy. Manufacturing jobs may be disappearing. Those are not disappearing. I don't know what you're reading.

You're reading this box, Trump, garbage? Wow, okay, forget the policy. Let's go back to the vibes. Who do you think Kamala should pick for the Secretary of Vibs? Janet Yellin, Sabrina Carpenter. Ooh, Sabrina Carpenter. Do you think that vibes are more important or would you say policy is more important? Absolutely policy. I don't know if you really understand politics that might.

I work in politics. Do you mind if I cop some of your vibe right now? Which one would you lie? This one? A patriotic one. Besides, we have some of these nerds here, maybe we don't want to talk policy. Let's sing it together. Harmonize with me up here. Bye, bye, bives. Bives.

Bives. Bives. We're going to get there. What's your vibe of the Kamala border policy? You know, I really appreciated the way that she spoke to it during her rally in Atlanta. It's an economic issue. You you you you you you you you you you you you you you you. to to to to to to to to the to to the thiiiii. thi. to thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to thi. to tooi. thi. tooi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th issue. You cannot just say that we need to deport a million immigrants like J.D. Bantzett. I know it's extremely important and I feel like she's put forward meaningful policies and Republicans have shot them down. Republicans are all about politics in red and blue. My public policy major. I want to find solutions. We literally had a bill on the table and Republican said no.

You're really killing my vibrant. Goodby. Good bye-bye. Come on. Come on. Come on. When we come to Congresswoman Warren Underwood will be joining me on this show, followed by a performance with James Sandler for No Go Away. Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, it's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting, you'll be saying to yourself, TGID, thank God it's Thursday, we're going to be

talking about all the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me, the election, economics, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're gonna be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that fourth, but in importance it's probably, it's the same. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's to, it's to, it's to, it's to say, it's to say ratio on sandwiches.

I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. My guest. My guest tonight represents the 14th District of Illinois and the House of Representatives. And, the to-s s southeaugh. My guest tonight represents the 14th district of Illinois and the House of Representatives and is the co-founder of the Black Maternal Health Caucus. Please welcome Congresswoman Lauren Underwood. Well, well, well. You got a lot of fans here. Thank you. Thank you for being here. I'm so excited. Welcome to Chicago.

Well, thank you. It's great to be here. Well, thank you. It's great to be here. They love you. Thank you. You hear that? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. to hear. They love you. Thank you. You hear that? Thank you. As they should, as they should. I am so inspired by all of the work that you do. So having you here is a real treat and especially being here in Chicago. I couldn't imagine a better guess. Thank you very much. You have quite a few firsts. You are the first woman, the first person of color, and the first millennial to represent your district. Yes, ma'am. You're also the youngest black woman to ever serve in Congress.

Ever. Now there's another woman that is on the cusp of some firsts. Do you have Kamala Harris, sorry, does she have you on speed dial for advice? Well, you know, it's been so interesting, welcoming Vice President Harris and so many folks from around the country here to Illinois. It's made me reflect on conventions of the past. You know, this is my fourth Democratic convention. And so in years past, some girlfriends and I would travel, we called ourselves social delegates. Oh, no. They were here.

They were here? They were here. the vibe for the parties. We had a great time. You know, obviously it's proud Democrats, but also really doing some professional development. Yes. You spoke last night.

I did. I did. I did. I did. Yes. You were wonderful. Thank you. The speech was really exciting.

We were able to talk about so many health care achievements. You know, the way that I've been able to work with Vice President Harris and President Joe Biden to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the the, to, to, the, the, the, to, the, the, the, to, the, the, to, the, to, to, the, the, the, theyo, theyo, theyo, theyo, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, theypioioioioe, theypipe, theypipe, theypip, theypip, they.e, they, they, they, and, and, and, they, and, and, they, and, they, they, theyme, theymea, theymea, theymea, theymea, theymea, theymea, theymea, theymea, theymea, theymea, theymea, care achievements. You know, the way that I've been able to work with Vice President Harris and President Joe Biden to lower out-of-pocket health care costs for the American people are successful legislation that allows Americans to access health plans for $10 or less per month. It's now law. And obviously, my work with Vice President Harris to advance and address the issue of maternal health in this country. You actually have a combined 18 piece of legislation that were signed into law since you entered in 2018. That's right. And many of them. 18 is a lot. A lot. Thank you. That's the law. That's

incredible. That's the law. That's incredible. That entered in 2018. That's right. And many of them, 18 is a lot. A lot. Thank you. Thank you. That's incredible. And so many of them were health focused. That's right. Health care, maternal health specifically.

What inspired you to want to focus so much of your work on that? So I'm a registered nurse. Spent my career working to expand health care coverage. Thank you in communities across our country and I've really seen firsthand the impact of the high costs of health care. So many people can't afford to see a provider. If they get an unexpected diagnosis, they can't afford a procedure much less get the medication that they need. And so I really took advantage once I got into office of the opportunity of the opportunity to lead and make sure that we were taking action to realize the promise of affordable health care through the ACA.

And so obviously have really been successful to advance legislation and we've had the lowest number of uninsured Americans in U.S. history. Wow. Wow. That's incredible. In Congress, we say we put people over politics. And what that means is we're focused on lowering costs for the American people, but also making sure that in health care, we're taking the opportunity to address longstanding disparities, especially disparities in maternal health.

What I'm talking about is in our country, black women have been three to four times who are likely to die of pregnancy-related complications and their white counterparts. It's devastating. I had a good girlfriend die in 2017 after delivering birth to a beautiful baby girl. My friend's name was Shilan Irving.

And so I knew that when I decided to run for office, and if I won, this would be an issue that I'd want to work on. And so in Congress, I've been so honored to partner with great leaders like then Senator Kamla Harris to introduce groundbreaking legislation, historic legislation called the Mom Nabus, designed to address every clinical and non-clinical factor, contributing to preventable maternal death in this country. And we've been successful. We've thi, we've thi, we've thi, we've thi, we've thi, we've thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. And, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. and, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thoomomo. And, tho toed, toed, too toed, too too too too too too tho tho tho tho tho in this country and we've been successful. We've had one of our bills signed into law. Yes.

Yes. I mean, maternal health feels like an issue that should absolutely be bipartisan. Shouldn't there be an overwhelming amount of support for these things? Well, the issue itself absolutely is bipartisan. We are seeing so many families recognize themselves in the story. And so this is an issue that touches every zip code, every state in this country. We have tremendous disparities, meaning poor outcomes in rural communities. You know, folks who are unable to get the quality of care or the choice of proiiiiiiiiii the the the the the thiii thi thi thi thi thi thi thi we have tremendous disparities, meaning poor outcomes in rural communities. You know, folks who are unable to get the quality of care or the choice of provider, we believe

that if you want to see a midwife or want to get a dula or need some help breastfeeding, no matter where you live in this country, you should be able to access those resources. And right now, you can't. You can't. And so you've been able to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to get to get to to get to get to get their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their, you've been able to work together as Democrats and Republicans to be able to advance this legislation and we're looking for the first legislative opportunity to get the whole package, the whole mom-to-us signed into law. Yes. From your lips to God, here. It's an issue that doesn't just impact women.

People talk about these issues like they're women's issues. These are family issues. That's right. They impact everyone. That's right. And it's an economic issue. You know, when we think about this upcoming election, I really think about issues like maternal health, like health,

like health care as a tooer. to their toopea health-pocket health care costs, we have to vote like it. If we want to make sure that we can all access high-quality, comprehensive health care, including reproductive health care, we have to go vote. Because by saying at home, we're allowing the extremists to win, and we know the path that they want to take us down. Speaking of extremists, J.D. Vance and others have been responsible for quite a bit of anti-woman rhetoric. Yes. What do you make of all of this? You know, it's so clear to me that Jady Vance has a deeply rooted pathology when it comes to his hatred of women? I really hope keep going to that J.D. Vance has a deeply rooted pathology when it comes to his hatred of women.

I really hope he's going to therapy. I really do. It's so clear that he needs therapy. It's clear to me that, you know, we might laugh, but he does not belong in the White House. You know, I grew up, I grew up here in the great state of Illinois in the 90s, and you know, we had the fortune of having the Oprah Winfrey Show on TV twice a day here in the Chicagoland area. Yes, he. And one of the great guests that she would always have on was Maya Angelou, who taught us that when someone tells you about themselves you believe them the first time. Now, Jadie Vance has told us about his dangerous extreme policy agenda for American

women and it's up to us to believe him right now and to reject it and make sure that we go out and vote. I heard that your parents are here tonight. Oh yeah. I heard that your parents are here tonight. Oh yeah. Hi, my dad. Hi, mom and dad. Oh, boy. You must be very proud of your daughter. Very proud. to you. to be very proud.

toobey. to your daughter. Very proud. Very proud. Good job, mom and dad. You did a very good job. I heard that your mom said that you have always been, quote unquote, girl. Yes. I do I'm a rule follower I can't help it. You know, my heart gets starts to race if I sort of color outside the line

sometimes. Yes I understand as a fellow rule follower good girl herself. I sometimes like to rebel a little bit by doing wild things like doing doing crossword puzzles and ink. Yeah, wow. Like that's living on the edge. Would you ever do something like that? What's your, how do you act out when you want to kind of? Hmm.

Well, I love reality TV, especially the show, Survivor. And there's a lot of parallels between that particular show and my workplace. the great heroes and villains of reality. I. Like. Like. Like. Like. Like. Like. Like. Like, that, wow. Like, that, that, that, wow. Wow. Wow, that, that, that, that, that, wow, wow, that, that, that, wow, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's that, that, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's, like that's, like that's, like that's, like that's that's that's, like that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. Wow. Wow. Wow, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. And so I get a lot of inspiration from the great heroes and villains of reality TV. I thought you were gonna say Love Island or Vanderpump rules. You go, like, it still involves democracy. Always. Every person has a vote. Thank you. Thank you.

So on breath. That's what I love about you. Thank you. Um, 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 th the the the the thi thi the thi the the the the t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. 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 te tea tea. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. t breath. It's what I love about you. Thank you. The joy and the excitement is palpable right now with Kamla at the top of the ticket. Now you worked very closely with her. What was your experience like? You know, Kamla Harris is an incredible leader. I can't wait for the American people to get to know her as I have.

She is warm and smart and funny and kind. Kamla Harris cares a lot about the maternal health issues that we spoke about earlier. That's how I came to know her. But as Vice President, she's really taken action to invite folks over to her home. And she loves to throw a party, and at the end of her, you know, engagements and affairs, she gives you a parting gift. Now that's a sign of a good party. Well, her parting gifts are these beautiful candles. She has these custom candles. Now, you're a millennial woman, I'm a millennial woman, and we know that we love a candle. Can we just say, I love a candle. I love a candle. Who does it love a candle? And so I was inspired

by her gorgeous scent in her candle to launch my own candle line. And yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes, yes, of course. It's called domestic tranquility. I mean, stop it as though you're not busy enough. You have a candle line? Yes ma'am. Yes ma'am. It's called what? Domestic Tranquility. Yes. Yes. I want in on this. How do I invest in this business? Oh, well you can visit Underwood for Congress.
