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. June 13, 2019.
From Comedy Central's World News Headquarters in New York.
This is the Daily Show withny Chair, everybody. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you guys for coming out.
Oh yeah, that feels good, let's do it. Let's do it. I'm Trevor Noah. Our guest tonight is a Democratic congressman from Ohio and a candidate for presidents of the United States.
Tim Ryan is joining us everybody. Our guest tonight is a Democratic congressman from Ohio and a candidate for presidents of the United States.
Tim Ryan is joining us everybody.
Also on tonight's show, everything you see on TV is fake.
You meet the dogs who live better than you and it's now legal for foreign governments
to meddle in America's elections.
So let's catch up on today's headlines. First up, the college admissions scandal.
Three months ago, we found out that dozens of parents
were paying millions of dollars to cheat their kids' way into college.
But in their defense, it was only because their kids were dumbest shit.
Well, today, the courts gave us a taste of the punishment that's about to come, and unfortunately,
the taste isn't very satisfying.
In Boston, the first defendant of that massive college admissions cheating scandal was sentenced
today.
John Vandemore pled guilty to federal racketeering charges, admitting he took $610,000 in bribes
to try to get privileged students admitted at Stanford through a side door. Prosecutors asked for 13 months in prison,
but his defense attorneys argued for leniency,
saying he used the money to pay for sailing uniforms,
equipment and staff costs.
The former head coach of the Stanford University sailing team sentenced to one day behind bars,
time served, two years probation and a $10,000 fine.
My actions were wrong, I see that now.
But my intentions were to help the team.
I will carry this with me for the rest of my life.
Wow.
He got sentenced to just one day.
I've been stuck in the airport longer than that.
And it's funny how people only noticed that they were doing a bad thing after they get caught.
My actions are wrong.
I see that.
And get the fuck out of here, man.
So when you were taking $600,000 in bribes,
you didn't think that was wrong.
You're just like, I'm getting a fear of a teate.
to the toowes as a sailing coach. Being a sailing coach is already a scam, all right?
You just hang out all day on a boat
and you wear a sweater all wrong.
You don't even have to work.
The wind does all the work for you.
But let this be a lesson to the kids.
Yeah, if you're black and court using weed,
you could spend years in jail.
But if you're a coach at Stanford convicted of racketeering chargesinginginginginginginginginginginginginginginginginginginginginginginginginginginginginging to to to to to to to to tooering tooering tooing tooing tooing tooing too to go to prison for the rest of your night.
Let's move on, because we've got some very sad news to report.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is quitting.
No, I said she's quitting.
I said she's quitting.
I said she's quitting.
I said she's quitting.
And we know that this is true because she's denied it.
But this news isn't that surprising because you realize she stopped giving press conferences months ago.
So it's just quitting what she already wasn't doing.
She's basically quit being press secretary the same way Trump quit CrossFit.
So let's move on.
Because there is breaking news about a major archaeological discovery.
That'll blow your mind, man.
And it turns out people have been getting high on pot
for at least 2,500 years.
Archaeologists in far western China say they have found the earliest direct evidence of marijuana use.
It includes ten wooden bulls containing burnt residue of pot
apparently used in burial rituals.
That's right. It turns out humans have been getting high since 500 BC. So I guess now we know
why they call it the Stone Age. Yeah.
Bidier, bidi-doo, doo-doo, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. If I had a band, that would have killed even harder.
And it's interesting how the archaeologists discovered it.
They found bowls with burnt-out weed,
and they also found DVDs of the hit prehistoric movie,
Dude, What's a Car?
It also must have been weird, being a cave-a-man, in his mouth looking at his friend like, man, this weed is amazing. And once we discover fire, this shit's gonna hit even harder, man.
All right, that's it for the headlines.
Let's move on to our main story.
Let's talk about strangers.
Let's talk about strangers.
As kids, we were all taught the same lesson.
If a stranger tries to talk to you, you run away and tell your mom.
In fact, you all probably remember those hilarious PSAs that were on TV all the time.
You've already been told about strangers dressing up in uniforms,
but there are other traps you need to know about.
Hey kid, I'll teach you how to hit this ball right over the fence. Come on it'll be fun
Trust your own feelings
Hey kid, how you doing?
Um, you know we're making a movie over there. You want to go see it?
Only professional agencies hire kids for TV work. Stay away from people in cars or fans.
Your mom's been hurt. She's in the hospital. She sent me to come and get you. What's the secret code word? I don't.

I don't know the code word.
You don't need to get near the car to talk to someone inside.
God damn, that girl got away quickly.
She didn't even mess around. She gave that woman half a second to prove herself.
And just you just sauntonne just run down the street. She's like tho- she tho- she didn't th got th. She didn't th. She didn't th. She didn't th. She didn't th. She didn't tho. She didn't tho.

And also, was it just me,
or were some of those actors in that PSA a little too good?
Huh?
Like that toe tickler over here?
Huh?
That guy's either the best actor in the world,
or he wasn't acting at all. Now, even those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to too. too. too. too. too too too to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th to to to to to th th th to th to th th th t tod toda. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to not safe to take candy from strangers. But yesterday, we found out about one person
who clearly never learned that lesson growing up.
And that person is now the president of the United States.
And breaking new, stunning words from the president tonight.
Trump saying moments ago that he would take dirt on his 2020 political opponent
if Russia, China, or any foreign country offered that dirt.
If he'd take the dirt and not call the FBI.
Okay, this is just crazy people.
After everything this country has gone through, huh?
Russian meddling, two years of Mala, and that shitty Game of Thrones ending,
after all of that!
Trump has turned around and said that he would accept foreign help to win the 2020 election.
Like, apparently foreign dirts is is is is is is is is is foreign dirt is the only import he won't put tariffs on.
And I guess in a way it makes sense. Why would Donald Trump do anything
differently in 2020 if he never faced any real consequences for 2016? He won
the election. He's not being charged. he's almost definitely not being
impeached. Like from his perspective, using intel from foreigners worked out great. It's like touching a hot stove the the the t. to tooe. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. the, the, the, tm, tm, tm, tm, tm, the, tha, tha, the, tha, tha, too, tha, tha, tha, t. t, t, tha, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, tha, the, tha, tha, the tha. I, thau. I, thau. I'm te, te.e.e.e.e.e.e.e. too.e.e.e. too.e.e.e. thau. I'm thau. I'm te It's like touching a hot stove and getting an orgasm.
Yeah.
It doesn't happen that way for most people,
but if it works for you, you're gonna just keep touching stoves all the time.
Shhh.
Ah!
Now, usually, usually, when Trump gets into trouble for saying something,
it's because of a tweet that he sends that everyone interprets a different way. But this time, it's coming straight from the horse's mouth. Your campaign this time, Brian, if foreigners, if Russia, if China, if someone else offers
you information on an opponent, should they accept it or should they call the FBI?
I think maybe you might want to listen.
I don't, there's nothing wrong with listening.
If somebody called, from a country, Norway, we have information on your opponent.
Oh, I think I'd want to hear it.
Wait, Norway?
No one's talking about Norway.
No way is not trying to meddle in America's election.
Like what secret information would the waye even have?
I'm going to be calling in like, hello, I don't know if you know this, but Kamala Harris likes Fjahds?
Oh and also Pete Buda's jaysh like fjords?
Oh and this is a good one, Elizabeth Warren likes small fjords?
All of our information is about fjords.
But why is he bringing up Norway?
And of course Trump would take a call from Norway.
He loves Norway.
I bet you if Zimbabwe called Trump for any reason, he'd be like,
Hello 911, I'd like to report a shithole country.
And even when Stephanopoulos pressed Trump on the legality of colluding with a foreign nation,
Trump doubled down and then even tripled down.
Okay, let's put yourself in a position, you're a congressman.
Somebody comes up and says, hey, I have information on your opponent.
Do you call the FBI? I thek I th Russia you do I've seen a lot of things over my life
I don't think in my whole life. I've ever called the FBI in my whole life. I don't you don't call the FBI you throw somebody out of your office You do whatever now. Gorg got a stolen briefing book. He called the FBI well, that's different a stolen briefing book. th. th, th. Well, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I thi thi thi thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I've thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. I've thi thi thi thi thi. I've thi I've thi I've thi I've thi I've thi I've thi I've thi I've thi I I thi I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I've thi I I I I I I've thi I I've thi I've thi I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thee thi thi the the the the thi thi thi thi thi thi on your opponent. Oh, let me call the FBI.
Give me a break.
Life doesn't work that.
The FBI director says that's what should happen.
The FBI director is wrong.
Whoa.
The FBI director is wrong.
I guess Trump likes law and order until the law doesn't follow his orders.
Because that was a weird one. And also did anyone pick up the part where he says, I've seen a lot of things
in my life and never called the FBI. Now I'm just wondering what other crimes
Trump has witnessed that he didn't report. I've seen it all George, murders,
tickling kids feet. But I ain't no snitch. And here's the thing. This is not one of those
issues that's left versus right, Democrat versus Republican. No, in fact even
Trump's loyal subjects are calling him out. Some Republicans who are normally
hesitant to rebuke the president are speaking out. Yeah my reaction is he
should reach out to the FBI. The appropriate action to take is to call the FBI.
I think it's a mistake.
I think it's a mistake of law.
I don't want to send a signal to encourage this.
Nothing's free in this world.
You don't want a foreign government or a foreign entity giving you information,
they're going to want influence. Yes, the man o' to to to tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thu thi o' thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. tho tho tho thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the influence Yes, the man on the couch is right nothing in life is free and I know right now in the audience
You're thinking to yourself. What do you mean Trevor tickets to the daily show are free?
Yeah
Yeah That's what we told you on the way in.
But now it's time to pay.
Because look, here's the thing.
Republicans agree on this, Democrats agree, and now the couch people are saying it.
Everyone is against Trump's pro-medling policy.
Trump decided to do this thing on his own, and now he's had to get on Twitter to try and do some damage control.
It's clear this morning though that the president is a bit defensive.
He is tweeting about it.
I meet and talk to foreign governments every day.
I just met with the Queen of England, UK, the Prince of Wales and the President of Poland.
We talked about everything. Should I immediately call the FBI about the calls? I would never be trusted. Again, he writes, Okay, first of all, there's a big difference between foreign nations
slipping you dirt on your opponents and small talk with the Queen, all right?
Trump makes it sound like we expect him to be in a broom closet of Buckingham Palace,
like, hello, FBI, you won't believe what the Queen just did.
She farted.
She called it a butt Brexit, Brexit.
And also, unless Trump secretly met with Free Willey, that's not how you spell Prince
of Wales.
That's a different thing.
But look, man, typos are the least of America's problems right now.
Because the President of the United States has basically invited foreign governments to interfere in America's
elections if it'll help him win.
And that can be a really dangerous thing that could get him and America into big trouble.
So look, to help the President understand how serious this is, we decided to make a PSA just
for him.
Hello, Mr. President. It's me, Officer Roy, and I'm here to give you tips on how to say no to collusion.
I am sexy Russian spy.
I use this portable supercomputer to hack DNC servers.
Please to come with me and do collusion.
Stay away from Russians that are just trying to help.
Hey, I'm Canadian.
You want to hear secrets about Pete Budajjjjjj being gay?
If a foreign government approaches you, run away and tell the FBI.
Donald, I'm a Norwegian with thirt on Joe Biden. I'll trade you for the nuclear codes.
Sorry, it's time for my golf game. What, again?
Now you got it. Just say no to collusion.
We'll be right back, everybody.
We'll be right back, everybody.

Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart,
wherever you get your podcast.
Welcome back to the Daily Show.
You know, some news stories help us understand the the Daily Show.
You know, some new stories help us understand the world we live in.
And some news stories are just stupid.
For those, we turn to Ronnie Chang.
One thing I've learned about Americans is that Americans love their pets.
And I'm here to say, why?
Pets are kind of stupid.
I mean, you spend all your time picking up their poop, and then on top of that, when they die,
you have to go through all the trouble of throwing them in your neighbor's yard.
No thanks.
But that's just me. Okay, other people are obsessed with their pets and is, quite frankly, getting out of control. Dog owners often consider their pets part of the family.
And the new trend has some families treating their furry friends more like people.
It's called the humanization of pets and it's become a big business across America.
Massages, blueberry facials, even podicures.
This is where doggies come for their ultimate spa treatment. We then give them a massage a grooming.
Okay, this is ridiculous.
Dogs don't need a spa day.
Every day of a dog's life is a spa day.
Someone feeds you.
I mean, they roll over, they get a massage, but when I roll over on the massage table,
I get arrested.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
And people are just
throwing away their money on dog spas. They're also wasting it on fine doggy
dining. A Manhattan restaurant has rolled out a special menu just for dogs.
Check out what's on it. A $42 rib eye steak with steamed veggies, a lemon
drizzled salmon fillet for 28 bucks,
grilled chicken breast for 16, light bites of carrots and apples and a berry bowl.
Why are you feeding dogs 40 dollar steaks? You realize dogs will eat their own poop
in fact if I ran this restaurant I would just take the poop for my last dog customer
and feed it to the next dog customer.
The dogs would be just as happy and you're recycling.
So there's dog facials, dog massages, dog steaks, and if you want an extra helping of dumbass dog ideas, how about dog mansions?
The company in London has launched with slightly the most lavish dog houses you've ever seen.
Talk about a pampered pooch here.
Take a look.
Each kennel has air conditioning and has heating.
It even has treat dispensers.
Oh, and a conference calling system so you can communicate with your pop.
By the way, prices start at $35,000 and go all the way up to $170,000.
$1,000. I mean, who are these rich, crazy Caucasians?
This is disgusting, okay?
There are millions of homeless dogs in shelters, and these rich sons of bitches are living in mansions.
And I mean, literally, there are moms are bitches. That's the scientific term.
By the way, what kind of dog needs a conference calling system?
What would that call even sound like?
Hey boy, just calling to check in.
You still a dog?
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Okay, cool, bye.
You know what?
Being human sucks, okay?
I want to be a dog. That's why I'm officially putting myself up for to to to to to right. I'm just as good as any dumb dog. I can sit, I can roll over, shake hands,
and with just a few more weeks of yoga, soon I too will be able to lick my own
butt hole.
Running shake everybody!
We'll be right back.
Come on.
Go ahead.
Hey!
Oh! I'm going to go. Huh. Huh. Huh. Hey.
Hey.
Welcome.
to the
to
the
today
to
the Daily Show. My guest tonight represents Ohio's 13th Congressional District
and is a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate.
Please welcome Congressman Tim Ryan.
Thank you. Welcome to the show. Thanks for having me.
And officially welcome to the debates.
You found out today that you have qualified for the debates.
Yes, yes, we're excited about it.
That is a, is that a weight of your shoulders?
Because there's so many candidates right now that it really is like who's going to be at the debate.
And now you're a little bit.
Most people would have never given me a chance to get on the debate stage, and here we are,
and that's kind of the beginning of the game,
and just we're in the game
and we're excited to get our message out.
Right, do you really believe that you have a shot in this game?
Just because you're one of it, but why? Where I come from, I represent the forgotten communities of the country.
And I think you look at the history of these races, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama,
Donald Trump.
I mean, the winner comes out of, usually comes out of nowhere.
And I think when people hear that I come from a forgotten community, I've represented these forgotten people who have lost jobs the last 30 or 40 years, go back to steel mills closing outside of Youngstown, Ohio in the late 1970s.
My father-in-law was one of them. I could tell you a story 15 years ago about my cousin Donnie,
he was a Vietnam vet. His last act, his factory was to unbolt the machine from
the factory, put it in a box and ship it to China. And I could tell you a story a couple weeks ago, the General Motors Factory,
that used to have 16,000 people, is now idle.
So when people hear that I know what they're going through,
I understand it.
That's what we need in the White House,
and I make one promise to them,
Trevor. All I say is that White House, when I walk into that Oval Office every morning, I won't forget who you are, and I'll know exactly what to do on your behalf.
And I think when that message gets out, we're going to move.
You talk about those people who are in your district,
and what really is fascinating about those voters is many of them voted for Barack Obama.
And then they switched over to Donald Trump, who promised that their jobs would come back? As you said, the plants are still closing, but we're reading that many of them
still support Donald Trump. So how would you sway that type of voter who seems
to still be with him even though his promises have fallen apart? You know I think
those articles are overstated. I think the shines coming off, the apple. the tau. People are saying you made all tha. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thr-in. th. th. thr-in. thr-wee. thr-wee. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. thr-wee. 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. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thr. thr. thr. the. the. thee. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. And so my argument to the Democratic voter is to say,
look, who better to prosecute the case on the economy
than the very person who represents the communities
that Donald Trump lied to about bringing the economy back?
He hasn't done a damn thing.
We're still getting our rear ends kicked by China with electric vehicles, with solar panels, with wind turbines, all these manufacturing jobs that I want to bring back.................. to, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, and, and, and, and, and, the, and, the, the, and, the, the, and, the, and, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the...... the. the. the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the theyyyy. the theyr. theyr. the they. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the very. the these manufacturing jobs that I want to bring back. He hasn't done anything to do that.
So I'm the best person to prosecute that case in, prosecute, sorry, but prosecute that
case in western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana.
Those states that we need to win on an economic argument, I believe I'm the best person to do that. You have been big on economics.
That's been your talking point for a very long time.
You've said that Democrats need to talk economics,
otherwise they will lose elections.
What does that mean when you say that?
Well, it means you have to talk to what people are thinking about
and what they're feeling. 75% of the American people to live their to live. to live. to live. to live. to live. to live. to live. to live. to to to to to to to tooom. tooom. tooom. to to the tooom. too. too. to too. the too. 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. th. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. tooomea. toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. too. too. the the the the the the too. 40% of the American people can't withstand a $400 emergency,
which means you blow your tire out or somebody gets sick.
Your economic life unravels.
And we have to speak directly to that.
Now, those are the people I represent every single day.
And that's what they're thinking about.
And it's not just my district.
There's tent cities in Los Angeles. There's people who are in the fishing industry on the coast that are affected by climate and everything else. They're losing
their jobs. There's you know manufacturing people in my area and they're not
white people. It's white, black, brown, gay, straight, urban. Rural people in
rural Iowa are getting killed right now. Farmers haven't made a profit in
five years and they have the highest suicide rate. So everyone's hurting now.
It's time for us to come together.
I think it's time for us to have a nominee and a president who actually understands what
everyone's going through and it's from a part of the country who's been dealing with
this for decades.
So do you genuinely believe that the 23 other candidates don't cover these bases?
Not like I do. Right. And this is where I live. I've lived here 45 years.
And as I said, my father-in-law, my cousins, when these factories close, I know who they are.
Do you think that the Democratic Party has become a party where some of these people have forgotten
how to speak to some of these peoplethe workers. When I campaign for my re-election for Congress,
it's wages, it's pensions, it's health care, it's mental health, it's education,
affordability, making sure you can get your kid into a certificate program or
two-year degree or college, bread and butter issues. That's how you beat
Donald Trump because he hasn't delivered for them.
Let's talk about education.
One thing that I've really been intrigued by
is how you've talked about being 100% for education,
but reshaping the way education is spoken about in America.
You've not a big fan of everyone being pushed towards college or nothing.
What does that mean and why is that important to you? Well, most of the jobs in the future, you talk about building an economy where we're
making things again, electric vehicles, solar, wind, all these other things, the technology.
Most of those require a two-year degree. Most of them require a certification.
So how do we start that little earlier with vocational training in our high schools, start getting kids on a track, and then getting them that certification, getting them that two-year degree because that's
where 70% of the people are going to go. Yeah, we need, college needs to be I
think free. I think, you know, it used to be K-12. Yes. For the old economy, that's free. their taxin' ta. they. 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. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th. 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. th. th. the. the. te. te. te. te. te. too. toe. toe. te. toe. te. te. tea. te. te. te. the. the. t to cut it anymore. So we need to expand it.
But let's focus on these technical degrees, let's have an industrial policy and create that
pipeline so these workers from high school certification can then fill those jobs.
That's how you begin to build the economy.
And when it comes to K-12, we've got to reform it in the sense that the first thing we have to do is deal with the kids trauma. Most of the kids, my wife's a first grade teacher, most of the kids that come in are in
some kind of trauma. They have adverse childhood experiences that we never
deal with. I want to push a social and emotional learning curriculum in
every school in the United States. I want a mental health counselor in
every school in the United States. Wow. So we start dealing with the root causes of our kids' inability to learn.
We know what the brain science tells us is that when you're in trauma, when you're in
fight or flight mode, you literally can't access the part of your brain you need to learn.
Yes. So I don't care what your plans are. I mean, my wife's a teacher. I want her to make more. We should pay teachers more. But if you're not dealing with climate of the classroom and the trauma and adverse childhood experiences, you're not going to get
the kid ready to learn. You've got all the policies. The big challenge now for you is going
to be getting noticed with all of the candidates out there. I noticed at the gathering of the Democrats
that happened out in California. Everyone chose a walkout song, you know, Elizabeth Warren had like 9 to 5, Jolly Parton,
and you know, Bernie Sanders' hit choice.
Everyone had a song that said something about them.
Your song when you walked out was Lil Nasek's Old Town Road.
Yeah.
That was an interest, what is, I couldn't figure out, what does that mean?
What are you saying? I had one theget audience there. And that was?
My kids.
I wanted to look cool.
Well, I hope you got that, my friend.
