Trump Gets Called "Pedophile Protector" AGAIN & Mexico Gets a New Pronunciation | Jeff Hiller

Jordan Klepper dives into Trump getting called a pedophile protector AGAIN while speaking at a General Motors facility in Michigan, why the president decided to pronounce Mexico as "Meheho," the new tariffs on Canada that ruined the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, and how the Trump administration accidentally helped reimagine cocaine trafficking. Plus, Klepper visits a naked protest to find out if Antifa is dressed up as an inflatable frog. It's no secret that Americans are being recorded everywhere, all the time, but the reality is even worse than you might think. In this edition of Back in Black, Lewis Black zooms in on everyday surveillance, including creeps going viral for sneaking photos of women, kids using location-tracking apps to "fambush" their parents, and Kylie Jenner peddling her own line of fashion-forward AI glasses.

Trump Bombs at White House Correspondents' Dinner & Jon Stewart Offers Comedy Tips | Kaitlan Collins

Jon Stewart breaks down the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Dinner that took place over the weekend: After the original WHCD event was derailed by an attempted shooting, Trump?s defiant return to the stage featured timely references to 2016, wordy roasts that failed to pack a punch, and trailing explanations of jokes that bombed. Jon gives Trump?s speech a Comedy 101 critique and wonders which of this year?s correspondents' dinners ended more unceremoniously. Jon sits down with CNN's award-winning chief White House correspondent and ?The Source? anchor Kaitlan Collins to discuss the White House Correspondents? dinner and how she handles insults from the president. They talk about how the White House press corps has changed in the 10 years since she started covering Trump, reporters? frustrations with the president?s refusal to answer questions, and the value of asking follow-up questions. Plus, Jon prepares a little roleplay to encourage Collins to give Trump a taste of his own medicine. -- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow -- New customers can save 35% on your first month of subscription by going to https://dosedaily.co/TDS or entering TDS at checkout. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Trump Rails Against Communism at Georgia Rally & Don Jr. Swears He Doesn?t Do Coke | Karolina Wydra

Desi Lydic breaks down Trump?s underwhelming rally in Georgia where he presented his plans to tackle affordability (a term he claims was invented by Democrats) and declared that communism is the worst thing to happen to America--including 9/11. Plus, Don Jr. profits from daddy?s presidency but SWEARS he?s not the ?cokehead? the internet thinks he is, and Ronny Chieng affirms the two have never done a line together. Is racism nonexistent in 2026 America? That's what gaslighters in conservative media would have you believe, and they're touting their supposed "Black friends" as proof. In this edition of In My Opinion, Leslie Jones takes apart the absurdity of that claim by drawing on her own experiences as a Black American, explaining that being a good white friend means standing up for Black people, and examining what the tragic death of Mississippi teenager Nolan Wells says about the myth of a post-racist America.

Trump Declares Iran Ceasefire "Over" & Goes No-Contact with Spain | Mayor Aftab Pureval

Ronny Chieng dives into Trump's appearance at the NATO summit "love-fest," where he picked new fights with Spain and Denmark, converted Japan into an Islamic Republic, and bemoaned his on-again, off-again ceasefire with Iran. Sen. Mitch McConnell's three-week absence has led many to wonder if he's even alive, but CNN's Scott Jennings put that question to rest with a totally believable claim that he chatted with the senator for an oddly specific 17 minutes. (tag)Michael Kosta went to the hospital where McConnell is staying to get the truth from the man himself, and defends the perfectly not-dead senator against a skeptical Ronny. Mayor Aftab Pureval, Cincinnati?s 70th mayor, joins Ronny Chieng to discuss the unique position of mayors in enacting local change.

Josh Johnson dives into the Scottish takeover of Miami for the World Cup, the flock of tourists visiting D.C.'s bright green reflecting pool, Trump?s security escalation to catch possible pool ?vandals,? and whether Trump's pool disaster is karma for trashing Obama?s previous reflecting pool fix. Plus, conservative media can?t stop talking about the pool, while Michael Kosta can?t stop dreaming about drinking it. Summer is here, and Lewis Black kicks it off with a look at some of the dumbest and most dangerous fitness trends of the season: sword yoga, which combines the health benefits of yoga with the hazard of lopping off a body part, neck hanging, which is turning Chinese youth into Christmas tree ornaments, and pistols and Pilates, the perfect workout for anyone whose fitness routine needs more guns. Tony, Emmy, and Golden Globe-nominated actor Lou Diamond Phillips talks to Josh Johnson about starring in the new film ?Gangland.?

Trump Sends Vance to Concede to Iran & Reflecting Pool Is Filled with Corruption | Maggie Haberman & Jonathan Swan

Jon Stewart dives into Trump's talent for breaking what ain't broke, from throwing one of his cronies $1.7 million in taxpayer money to clean the D.C reflecting pool (which quickly went from "American Flag Blue" to Mountain Dew green) to launching an aggressive war on Iran with the goal of re-obliterating their nuclear program but instead settling on a gentle parenting-style deal that lets Iran keep their nukes, along with a few hundred billion dollars. Trump was not in the room when his own team discussed the Epstein files, is just one of the few pieces uncovered in Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan?s new book, ?Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.? They sat down with Jon to compare Trump?s first and second terms as president, how Trump controls the terms when reporters reach him on his cell phone, and what they uncovered behind his most controversial acts like the tariff policy rollout and the Iran War. They describe his second term as a story of hubris, built on gut feelings and belief from his cabinet that he is someone of destiny because who else can survive four indictments, two assassination attempts to win the presidency a second time.  -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Trump Goes Ocean?s Eleven on Iran?s Oil & Knicks Put Off Winning to the Last Second | Chris Evert & Martina Navratilova

Desi Lydic and all of New York celebrate the Knicks' historic comeback to win Game 4 of the NBA Finals, while Trump prepares to celebrate his 80th birthday in style with an algae-filled reflecting pool, a UFC fight on the White House lawn, and a slew of medical specialists.

In a new edition of Sports War, Michael Kosta and Ronny Chieng tackle the biggest stories in the world of sports: the New York Knicks, the New York Knicks, and the New York F**king Knicks! While Kosta and Ronny can agree that the Knicks rule, there's still plenty to argue about, like the best way to honor OG Anunoby after his game-winning basket in Game 4, whether courtside celebrities at MSG should be allowed to price out New York City's hardworking billionaires, and whether Knicks pride is worth having blue-and-orange-bagel s**ts for the rest of your life.

Trump Can?t Negotiate for S**t, and the Iran Peace Talks Prove It | Jason Bateman

Trump claims a peace deal with Iran is coming any second, but he's been saying that for months. Jon Stewart takes a look at Trump's unimpressive track record as a negotiator, despite being the self-proclaimed best negotiator in the world, and pulls back the curtain on the president's "Art of the Deal" as merely the art of trolling. Plus, the Freedom 250 concert is falling apart as more and more headliners pull out, and TDS News Team alum Olivia Munn stops by to offer Jon Stewart a heartfelt tribute that was definitely not meant for Stephen Colbert. Jason Bateman sits down with Jon to discuss his latest projects, the Netflix series ?Black Rabbit? and the HBO series ?DTF St. Louis.? Bateman admits he didn?t know what ?DTF? stood for until his daughter told him a week into shooting the series. ?DTF St. Louis? is what Bateman calls ?sneaky funny," and shares how creator & writer Steve Conrad gave the show a voice unlike anything on TV. Plus, the two old friends catch up on life and reflect on aging, fatherhood, and how lonely you become when your children leave for college. -- Head to https://Quince.com/dailyshow for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.
