Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Comedy Central. Coming to you from New York City, the only city in America. It's the Daily Show. Tonight, Election Day is almost here. Investigating the poll worker shortage. And Gabriel Atlacius. This is the Daily Show with Trevor North. Thank you so much for tuning in.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Thank you so much for coming out in Trotson. We're back. We're in New York City, we're in the studio. Take a seat, everybody. Let's do this. We've got a massive pre-election show for you tonight. Donald Trump is coming for Ron DeSanctors, Democrats or more nervous than a Chihuahua in a rainstorm, and I guess everyone has a good relationship with their fathers because no one wants to work the polls.
Starting point is 00:01:09 So let's do this people, let's jump straight into today's headlines. All right, before we get into the big stories, let's catch up on a few other things going on in the world. Starting with our old friend, COVID-19. According to the CDC, there are now six new variants, all competing to become the dominant strain this winter. What they don't realize is that they're all competing with a strain that's already infected most of the country called the, I don't give a shit about any of this anymore strain. You know, honestly, I feel a little bad for the variant that becomes dominant now. Yeah, because like everyone has stopped caring. It's kind of like if you want an early season of American Idol, then you were famous. But if you win season 34 now, it's just a story you tell your coworkers at the coffee machine, you know? th.............. th. they, they, they, they, they, they, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're they're they're they're they're they're they're th. th. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're th. they're th. th. th, th. I, th, th, th, th, th, th, they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're, they're, they're, they're all. I, they're all. I, they're all. they're all all all all all all th. thi. that, I' their their that, I'm their, I'm their, I'm their, I'm their their their their their th. Idol, then you were famous. But if you win season 34 now, it's just a story you tell your coworkers at the coffee
Starting point is 00:02:08 machine, you know? I was like, I'll have my decalf. I don't know if you saw me last night, I won the American, okay, I'll have that report to you soon, thank you, sir. But remember, to all those COVID variants competing against each other right now, I just want you to remember, it's not about winning or losing. It's about this, all right? Getting into someone's lungs and ruining their week. In social media news, on Friday, Elon Musk kicked off his new job as the head of Twitter
Starting point is 00:02:38 by laying off. I like how you built your boo. He kicked off as the head of Twitter by laying off half of the workforce. Yeah. He even fired the bird. It was terrible. It was last seen in a parking lot's dick for worms. Oh, relax, relax. A dick is just a bigger worm. But it turns out, it turns out, Musk got a little ahead of himself, because this morning, he's reportedly trying to rehire dozens of people that he just fired, after realizing that
Starting point is 00:03:16 he actually needs them. And I'm going to be honest, I'm going to put it out there. If he's handling Twitter like this, I don't know how comfortable I would be going with this dude to Mars, you know? Yeah, I don't want Elon walking into my cabin one day like, hey guys, turns out I accidentally fired the team that was bringing the oxygen, but we'll be fine if we just stopped breathing for 69 months. Ha ha! Oh! Oh, in sports news, in sports news, congratulations to the Houston Astros, who beat, who beat the Philadelphia
Starting point is 00:03:51 Phillies on Saturday to win the 2022 World Series. Yes, and this was great news for Texas, except for all the people who had to see Ted Cruz smile. And I feel bad for the people in Philly. They're blackout drunk fighting in the streets. And then they had to watch their team lose. All right, let's move on to some of the biggest stories of the day. Starting once again with the midterm election. It's that time in American politics where the voters get to send their order back
Starting point is 00:04:24 to the kitchen because they don't like how much to to to to to to to to to to too too to too too much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much voters get to send their order back to the kitchen because they don't like how it tastes. Mmm, too much inflation. Anyway, but the big day happening tomorrow, it's time for us to catch up on all the latest updates in our ongoing coverage of Vote Demick 2022. So, here we are people. After months of campaign speeches, TV ads, spam texts and fundraising emails, the midterms end tomorrow. And I'm glad, especially because I won't be getting any more of those spam texts. They were killing me. Especially the ones that start like a booty call.
Starting point is 00:04:57 You know? Yeah, I'd be like, hey, Trevor you up? I'll be like, yeah. To save the Senate? Aw. But tomorrow, it all ends. And with so many tight races, both parties are pulling out all the stops. Down to the wire, a wall-to-wall weekend of campaigning in the battlegrounds, candidates locked in neck-and-neck battles bringing out the big guns. The biggest names from both parties spanning out across the battleground states that will
Starting point is 00:05:26 decide control of Congress. Three presidents, passed in present, flooding Pennsylvania, holding dueling campaign rallies. Fundamental rights are on the ballot. Democracy itself is on the ballot. Now, even Oprah Winfrey has now jumped into this race. She discovered Dr. Oz, worked with him for years, but now announcing her endorsement of Fetterman. But I will tell y'all this, if I lived in Pennsylvania,
Starting point is 00:05:51 I would have already cast my vote for John Fetterman for many reasons. Wow. Oprah Winfrey. Coming out, and not just coming out, she came out against Dr. Oz, the man she created. The TV doctor she made famous. And that's always how it goes, people. At some point in life, you have to kill the monster you create. Yeah, Dr. Frankenstein and his creature, Obi-Wan and Anakin.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Parents and their kids. Every parent knows the day will eventually come when you have to fight your children to the death to determine who will control the remote control. But still, Oprah going for Federman must have broken Dr. Oz's heart. Luckily, he has the perfect cure for that. Dr. Oz's broken heart dietary supplement. It'll enhance your mood and only turn your poop yellow some of the time. Get it now before the FDA outlaws it again. Now it's not just Oprah, it's not just Oprah. The Democrats are bringing everyone out. Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, which you have to admit is bad news for the Democrats, right? Because the bigger names that you bring out to support you in the midterms means the
Starting point is 00:07:07 worst you're doing. Like if I was a Democrat in Pennsylvania, this would be making me nervous. You know, we'll just be like, guess what? Obama is coming to the rally tonight. Oh boy! And he's bringing Bionse, we're so screwed. And the truth is Democrats are nervous right now, because they've got a lot stacked up against them in this election. Inflation is high, crime is up, pickleball is taking over for some reason, and all of that is sending Democrats into full-on panic mode.
Starting point is 00:07:35 President Biden is warning that American democracy is at risk, but it may not be enough to stop a red wave tomorrow night. A lot of Democrats, whether they're elected officials, party leaders, strategists are panicked that they feel like things are not going well for them in the midterms right now. President Biden heading to traditionally blue Maryland today, after a stop Sunday in another Democratic stronghold, New York. Vote! Get out the vote now! The president giving a last-minute boost New York Governor Kathy Hulkall, running
Starting point is 00:08:07 in a now unexpectedly tight race against Congressman Lee Zeldon, an state that hasn't elected a Republican governor in two decades. Yeah, that's how bleak it is looking for Democrats right now. They're scrambling to salvage a governor's race in New York. New York, which is crazy. New York is supposed to be a given for the Democrats. You know, this is like having to beg your stalker to like one of your posts on Instagram. Come on, man, my feet are in this one. Yeah, I know, it's just not doing it for me anymore.
Starting point is 00:08:40 So yeah, the expectations are that Republicans are going to have a very good election and that Democrats are in deep trouble. But keep in mind, keep in mind, that's all based on the polls. Which I'll be honest bugs me about American politics. Because like polls are just like an idea. It's like what a person says, what they maybe are going to do. That's why they're often wrong. In fact, these days it feels like they're wrong a lot more than they're right. You know, if you went by the polls in the last election, like, think about it, Susan Collins would have lost her election by six points. Instead, she won it by nine. Lindsay Graham was tied in the polls, but instead he destroyed his opponent.
Starting point is 00:09:16 And according to the polls, Joe Biden was supposed to steal the election. I mean, you don't know. And there are a lot of reasons. There are a lot of reasons why the polls could be off. You know, you don't know. Maybe the polls are biased. Maybe people who are answering are the pious people. Maybe people who answer the poll. Or the poll are sarker. the poll is like, oh, I'd love to vote for Joe Biden. craziest people ever. Have you ever answered a poll? Huh? No. Yeah, if you got a call
Starting point is 00:09:45 from an unknown number, you don't answer? What are you a creep? In fact, any time a pollster gets someone to participate, the next call is probably to the police. It's just like, hello, 911? Yeah, someone just picked up my call and spoke to me for 10 minutes. You should go check the freezer for body parts. Yeah, it's worrying. But even though the 2022 election isn't over yet, it looks like the 2024 campaign might already be underway. According to reports, Donald Trump is planning to announce another run for president as soon as the midterms are over. Yeah, but he's gonna wait for the midterms first. Because he wants to do the responsible thing and see if his
Starting point is 00:10:25 election denies get into power so they can steal the election for him. He's waiting. It's good. And even though he hasn't officially announced that he's running yet, Trump is already taking shots at some of his rivals in the G.O.P. Donald Trump, meanwhile, and Florida governor, Ron DeSantis held competing rallies in the state of Florida yesterday. While Trump urged Fluriento vote for DeSantis in his race against Democrat Charlie Chris, the foreign president also took a swipe at the governor
Starting point is 00:10:51 as a potential 2024 opponent. We're winning big, big, big in the Republican Party for the nomination like nobody's ever seen before. Let's say, there it is. Trump at 71. Ron De Sanctimonious at 10%. Mike Pence at 7. Oh, Mike's doing better than I thought. Yeah, I thought he'd be dead by now. I guess there's always next time he's doing better.
Starting point is 00:11:17 By the way, I love how Trump always gives speeches on the tarmac right in front of his plane. Have you noticed how he does, like the door is open, the... It's almost like, like, like, like, th like, th like, th like, th, th like, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th th th thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, thi, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, 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. thii. thii. thi. thi. Have you noticed how he does, like the door is open, the stick. It's almost like he doesn't want to spend one second longer than needed with those people. He's just like, keep the engine running, I want to leave this shithole town as soon as I say goodnight. In fact, just dangle me from a helicopter and pull me up when Rednecks can touch me. You saw what they've did to Mike Pence. These people are dangerous. But the reason that speech is going viral is because of that bitchy little swipe at Ron Desanctimonious. Yeah, you saw that breaking out a classic Trump nickname? I mean, at least we think it was a nickname. It apparently Trump has been privately testing nicknames for Ronda Sanctus.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Yeah. Which is amazing to me. The man is at a meeting with his team of lawyers and he's like, all right, enough of all the ways that I could go to jail. What do you guys like better? Rondersthe shithead. Which one? Right now, it looks like a Trump versus the Sanctus feud
Starting point is 00:12:26 is breaking out into the open. And you know, right now, it looks like a Trump versus the Sanctus feud is breaking out into the open. And you know, usually when two men fight in Florida, it's at a Margaritaville at 1 a.m. But this, this, this is is is is is is is is is a lot th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the th, th, th, th, the th, the th, the th. th. th. thi, the the the the thi, the their, their, their, which a the, which a 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thr. thr. thr. thr. thru. thooo. the. the. the. thanks, thanks, thanks, the. th. th. th. th. know usually when two men fight in Florida, it's at a Margaritaville at 1 a.m. But this, this is a lot more high stakes, which is probably why a lot of Republicans are upset with Trump for going after the Sanctus. Yeah, because they're like, what are you doing? We love Ron the Sanctus. He's our guy. And Trump is like, yeah, I know, that's why I hate him. Because you see people people people thu thu thu thu thu thu thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu- thu, thu, thi, thi, 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. thi thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. theeeeei. thei. thei. thee. th. thi. th. th.'t realize, that's the one thing Trump hates more than anything. Is anyone having what he thinks should be his spotlight?
Starting point is 00:13:08 That might be the thing that destroys the Republican chances in 2024. Donald Trump cannot stand not being the center of attention. I bet he got jealous when his kids were born, you know? He's like, congratulations, it's a boy. I'm also that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, thiii, that's like, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that's thi, thi, that's thi, thi, that's thoomomomomom, tho, thoom, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thiiiiiiiiii.. that's that's thiiiii. thi. thi. He's like, I'm also a boy and I've been a boy much longer. So long, many people not will sing a best boy of all time. All right, that's it for the headlines. Before we go to a quick break, let's check in on the stock market with our finance expert. Michael Costa, everybody.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Michael, crazy, crazy times in the economy. What is happening in the market todakakakakakake today today today today today today today today today today today today today. I todakakakake. I today. I today. I to to be. I to be. I to be. I to be. I is. I is. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. times in the economy, what is happening in the market today? I am crushing it. I mean, also, I bet big on the World Series. I did. Some of you think sports betting seems risky, but not the way I do it. Here's what I did. I bet on the Astros, and I hedged against the Phillies, so I actually won on both sides. Then I packaged the winnings into a credit-de-up-up-up-up-up-up-up-up-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s, th-s, th-s, th-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I-a- Then I packaged the winnings into a credit default swap that I sold off to a retirement community in exchange for equity into their homes.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Now, it's complicated, but all you need to know is that I own most of your grandmother's houses now, okay? It's called finance. All right? I got a hot tip for you. But first, let's get to this chart. Okay, look, this is Twitter going private, and this is the biggest thing to happen to Wall Street
Starting point is 00:14:32 since the cocaine shortage of 96. All right? Now, I was publicly traded company, and then after this, right here, it's private. Okay? Does everybody understand that? Public, private. All right? Your opinion matters here because you're a member of the public.
Starting point is 00:15:01 But then after a single owner took over, everybody can shut the fuck up about Twitter, okay? Unless you have 44 billion dollars, that's the $4 billion, that's, that's, thi, tho, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, okay, okay, okay, th, th, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thii, thii, thii, thiii, thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, but then after a single owner took over, everybody can shut the fuck up about Twitter, okay? Unless you have $44 billion, it doesn't matter what you think of Twitter. Twitter, Trevor, what do you think about Twitter? It doesn't matter what you think, Trevor, okay? Yeah, I hate to do it. It doesn't matter what anybody thinks about Twitter, all right? Now, here's what I think about Twitter. Okay? Yeah, okay? Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I have, I have th, I have 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 th. Unless, th. Unless, thi thi have thi have thi have thi have thi have thateateateateatea $ $44 thi have $44 thi have $44 thi have $44 thi have $44 thi have thi have thi have th doesn't matter what anybody thinks about Twitter. All right? Now, here's what I think about Twitter. Elon Musk is having a tough time with Twitter right now.
Starting point is 00:15:33 And here's how we know that, Trevor, because everyone on Twitter is talking about Twitter. That's not good, okay? It's like in my house. When things are going great, I'm talking shit about the neighbors. But when my wife sits me down and says, we need to talk about us, well, obviously, she did something wrong, okay? And now, everyone's questioning Elon's decisions and what he's doing, but let's not forget, the man has 10 kids, right?
Starting point is 00:15:59 You know how overwhelming that is? I have one kid. Last night, my hair was in pigtails, I'm wearing lipstick, singing the frozen theme song. My son is 17 years old, all right? The point is, kids drive you crazy. I mean, look what Elon did. He fired people, now he's hiring the fired people back. He begged advertisers to stay. Now he's threatening them if they leave. But of course advertisers want to leave. Twitter's getting too toxic.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Can you imagine if you're a brand now? You don't want to be on the timeline. It's like Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi. You at least want it to be like, Cheese Doodles. Look, look, look, look. The tricky situation that Elon finds himself in is that Twitter is private now. Remember? This is the part of the chart where I told us to shut the fuck up, right? But it's a platform that only runs on public opinions. So if everyone leaves Twitter, it's worthless, which brings me to my
Starting point is 00:17:02 hot tip, all right? If you have 44 billion, just keep it. Back to you then. It's actually a great tip for all the people with 44 billion. Michael Costa, everybody, all right, when we come back, Desi Leitic, and find out even more reasons to be worried about the election. Don't go away. Welcome back to the daily show. After two years of voter fraud accusations and capital riots, it's no surprise that Americans have become less confident in their elections. But as Desi Lydic discovers in her new series, America's election infrastructure may be in even worse shape than you think. Hello again, I'm Desiletic.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Elections. They're a good gauge for measuring who your class considers the smartest, prettiest, and coolest. Unless you're up against Rachel Pearson, who just brought everyone cupcakes because her dad is rich. But is our election system as full-proof as we think? I continue to investigate in my ongoing Pulitzer grab of a segment, Vote Demick 2022, our crumbling election infrastructure. Fee you Rachel. Previously, I explored the paper shortage that could affect ballots this election. But something tells me that's not the only problem we're facing.
Starting point is 00:18:36 I'm back with Tammy at Democracy Fund. Tammy, we got to talk about what else could go wrong. So last time when we discussed pre-election, what about election day itself? What are we looking at? We don't have enough poll workers. What? So part of the challenge with poll workers
Starting point is 00:18:54 is that we need hundreds of thousands of them every election. And in this moment we have a lot of people that are saying they don't want to come back. Some of our former poll workers are aging out. We don't have as many young people stepping in. And part of that is because of the incivility that we have around elections right now. People are being threatened, and they're not really wanting to serve in a role
Starting point is 00:19:18 where they subject themselves to the onslaught of ridicule sometimes from their fellow community members. Yeah, if they wanted to do that, they would become comedians. Just kidding. But Tammy's right. It's becoming harder and harder to find Americans to be poll workers. We have a poll worker shortage in this country. There's a poll worker shortage. Because of the constant barrage of harassment at our office. A lot of us across the state are worried about how it will affect even poll worker recruitment. And under these conditions, why
Starting point is 00:19:47 would anybody want to work the polls? In elections, it tends to really be all about the food. So if you talk to poll workers, the election day potluck. There's a potluck. You will not believe their enthusiasm around the topic, who should bring what, who doesn't bring enough. I love a potluck. I love a potluck. I needed to find out more about this potluck. A poll worker problem. So I'm in Maryland, one of the many states with low poll worker numbers to talk with election director Tracy Dickerson. Can you explain to me what a poll worker does? A poll worker is our first line of defense. Without them we cannot run an election. They check in voters, they issue ballots, and they also maintain the integrity part of the election. Do you ever just for fun try to
Starting point is 00:20:33 get people to vote one way or the other? No, we don't do that in here. We're election officials and we're 100% nonpartisan. Right, nonpartisan, completely nonpartisan. Absolutely not. We take it serious. Serious. We don't joke about that in here. No, I wouldn't joke. Stop winking. Why are we experiencing poll worker shortages right now? It's hard to say.
Starting point is 00:21:03 The atmosphere in elections has tote drastically changed. Some poll workers receive threats or when people come in to vote they get stuff thrown at them. I don't know if that is an issue. But they're in dire need. And I believe they're in dire need across the country. Have you tried offering some perks, stock options, 401k, that sort of thing? Unfortunately that poll workers are only more or less volunteer, so people basically do it for their community because their job is so important you cannot run an election without them. Gosh, so would you say this is a thankless job or an incredibly thankless job? Yeah, it's a
Starting point is 00:21:45 thankless job because nobody thinks about it until it's an election year and they just assume that the polling places show up and that they're just there. Someone should come along and just say thank you. Just say thank you and someone will because you deserve it. I appreciate that. Thank you. You're welcome. You're it. I appreciate that. Thank you. You're welcome. I heard that there's a potluck happening where people bring a lot of delicious food.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Is that true? Absolutely. They actually set up full-fledged banquet type meals. Is that free to the public? No, it's basically, it's for the poll workers. And how do I become a poll worker? You could sign tha, tha, tham, tham, tham, tham, tham, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tham, tham, tham, tham, tham, tham, thi, thi, thi, you. You th-a, you. You th, you. You th, you. You th, you. You th, you. You th, you. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, than, thiiiiii. thi. thi. thi the poll workers. Right. And how do I become a poll worker? You could sign up and take training. Oh, damn it. Okay. I decided to get poll worker training a try and was learning a lot. But when it came to the most important part of poll working, I heard there was a potluck situation.
Starting point is 00:22:38 When does that start up? Does that start now? Potluck could happen on Monday night or election day. So that's not happening today. Not today. Okay so if Potlucks aren't going to save democracy, what is? My name's Joe Plunseler. I'm a veteran and I'm also a board member with Vet the Vote. What is Vet the Vote? So the Vote is the nationwide public awareness campaign to recruit a hundred thousand election poll workers this year? What.......... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. to, to, to to to, to to to to to to to to toe. toe. to, to this year. What have you learned from being a poll worker? You know if anyone doubts like how polling stations are run or the outcomes of elections of like come in and see the process, you'll see like the to-party integrity around
Starting point is 00:23:15 every voting machine. I mean if you come in the door as skeptic you're gonna leave a believer, guaranteeing. And coming from the military, you know a a poll worker is kind like the the the the the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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 is is, is, is, is, is, is their is their is their is their is thiiiiiiiiiiioling is a thoing is a thoomeoomeole, is tooomorrow, is total is total is tooooooomorrow, is teole, is total is thoooooomorrow, is like the same thing. I mean you're you're helping your community not at the level of politics but at the level of civics to make some democracy. I'm convinced. I wasn't actually convinced but I'm a sucker for a power vest so I decided to finish my training. This is pretty high-tech. This is some hacker stuff right here. We don't say that around here. Sorry. So this is a zero report report. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the the th. the the the the the the the the the the, thi. 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 th. th. th. th. th. th.

So this is a zero report, and this shows to the public that this machine has arrived at the polling place and the state that it left this building with zero votes. So this much paper is required to show zero votes.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Correct. I know why there's a paper shortage. I may not have been able to fix our broken voting system, just like this. Just like that. Just th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th like this. Just like that. I broke it. But I will say that if voting goes smoothly in your county, you have a poll worker to thank. Thank you so much about Degel. Stay tuned because when we come back, international comedy superstar Gabriel Iglesias will be joining me on the show. You don't want to miss it. Welcome back to the daily show.
Starting point is 00:24:27 My guest tonight is the first comedian to perform and sell out Dodger Stadium. Welcome back to the daily show.

Please welcome Gabriel Iglesias. What's up? What's up? W. Welcome to the Daily Show. Thank you. This is awesome. This is ridiculous, right? Yeah, it only took seven years.

Not just selling out Dodger Stadium, selling it out twice. It's the- That's, like, what does that even feel like? Man, as far as, I mean, it's surreal. It's like, you know, it's the biggest thing I've ever done and I did it at home. You know, it was just, it was the greatest night of my life and it was documented. That's beautiful. Yeah. That isn't, when you're performing, like I would love to know, because for those who don't know,
Starting point is 00:26:10 for those who don't know, so, Gabriel Iglesias is one of my people in the world, like not just as a comedian, but as a human, when he came to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when.... when, when, this guy's like a creep. Everyone was gone. And then he came out to me from the back of the room and he's like, hey, Trevor, and I was like, yeah? And he's like, my name's Gabriel Iglesias. You don't know who I am, but I'm a comedian out here. And I think you're very funny, and I'd love for you to come on the road, to come, to come, to come, to come, to to come, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to me, and I'm, to me, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to me, and to me, and to me, and the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th th too.ean, the the the toe.e.a.a.a.a.a. toe. too. toe.a, th to me, and th th too. the road with me. I know you're big in South Africa, but no one knows you here, so I don't want to offend you. And you took me out on the road with you, and truly that may be some of my favorite memories I've ever had in life. You took me to El Paso, Texas. You took me to Erie, Pennsylvania. And so, what I'd love to know is how it feels to perform because what what I love about your journey is, there is no club you haven't been in, there's no theater you haven't performed in all over
Starting point is 00:27:08 the world and now it's stadiums. Like what's different about a stadium that you love and then what's the thing that you miss about a tiny little club? What's awesome about a stadium is first of all just saying you're like, oh look at you, it's like a Mexican tee, you know what I mean? He's doing stadiums. And then of course clubs, it's very intimate, it's instant, you know, it's right there. It's very, very nice. And so there's of course, you know, pros and cons to both. But I mean, I don't know where it's going to go now.
Starting point is 00:27:38 I feel like it's only, it's not just not just just just just just just just not just going, it's not just going, it's not just going, it's not just going, it's not just going, it's not just going, it's not just going, it's not going, it's not going, it's not even going up. You've been consistently successful every single year around the world. As I started going to other countries, people would tell me, they came to my shows because they saw us together doing something. You've traveled to multiple countries way before other American comedians even have. What do you think is part of your success? Why do people love Fluffy so much? that nickname? It's, has become synonymous. It's become a joyous nickname.
Starting point is 00:28:07 I think it's just one of those, you know what, I'm a fish out of water, I share stories, I try not to get in people's faces. It's always a good time. I'm not trying to preach to you. I'm not try to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be a tooome you to be a to., too. It's a thoomo tho too too too too too the thoom. tho the the the the the the the the the the the to to to 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...... of the most diverse audiences I've ever come across. You know, you bring people together, you've always enjoyed sharing your heritage, you know, you'll do jokes. Some of them will be in Spanish, but then you'll play with English, you'll mess around in the audience.
Starting point is 00:28:33 That's what I loved about being on tour with you.
