You're listening to Comedy Central. From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news. This is The Daily Show with your host, Michael Kosta. Thank you and welcome to The Daily Show.

I'm Michael Kosta. We've got so much to talk about tonight. The NYPD does the bare minimum. Fox News throws a party for themselves. And America's got a crush on a bad boy, like really, like murder bad. Anyways, let's get into the headlines. Let's start with the breaking news.

For the last few days, there's been a killer on the loose in America. Well, there's actually tons of killers on the loose in America, but this one killed someone important, so they were really looking for him. And personally, I'm glad they found him yesterday. Call me old fashioned, but I think murdering people in cold blood by shooting them in the back is wrong. So I'm glad that this ice-cold assassin is off the streets. Let's find out more about his dark and mysterious past. Police officially charging 26-year-old Luigi Mangione.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up. The assassin's name is Luigi Mangione? Did they find him hiding in a big pipe? I mean... I'm kidding. I'm kidding. The cops were able to locate him after following the trail of Fettuccine Alfredo leading out of Sunset Park. It's okay. I can make fun of Italians,

because Italians annoy the shit out of me. But fine. But fine. He's Italian. Does that mean he's a criminal? Probably. But what evidence, what evidence do they have that this is the guy? According to court records, the suspected killer had 3-D printed ghost gun on him, several fake IDs, $8,000 in cash,

and a three-page handwritten manifesto. Okay, okay, that's a lot of evidence. That's a lot of evidence. What else did they find on him? Was he wearing a T-shirt that said, I shot a CEO and all I got is this lousy T-shirt? Also, are they sure that New Jersey ID was fake? I feel like if your name is Luigi Mangione,

you're born with a New Jersey ID. It just slides out with you like the placenta. But... But we can't give all the credit to the Altoona police just because they caught them, because the NYPD, well, they did their part, too. They were scouring the city for days. They were looking in the bushes.

They looked on some other bushes. Here they're standing on a rock. Hey, should I look in that bush? Eh, you know, f***, I don't wanna do that stuff. So. Pfft. New York's finest. Don't get me wrong.

They didn't spend the whole time barely looking in the bushes. The breakthrough in the case came as police divers continued to search a lake in New York Central Park for items dumped by the assassin. Great work great work. They're like you guys are looking for the killer we're going to see if he wished on any lucky pennies down here.

It is the killer use a gun because we found 5,000 have them down here. So now that we know who the suspect is, it's time for society to indulge in its favorite pastime, obsessing over every detail about this guy's life like he's a K-pop idol. -"Mingioni comes from a prominent Maryland family which owns multiple country clubs in the state." -"He was valedictorian at his graduation

from a $40,000 a year private school with a carnation in his buttonhole. A carnation in his buttonhole. Not like one of those peasants who fills his buttonholes with buttons I guess. This is why I don't want to send my kids to private school because if they become a murderer someday, that tuition, what a waste of money, right? And that's why I support public education.

Thank you. That didn't get the response I anticipated, but that's okay. It's surprising that he comes from such a privileged background. He's not really the kind of guy you'd expect to become a murderer. I mean, I expect him to crash the guy you'd expect to become a murderer. I mean, I expect him to crash the housing market, but not kill a guy. So we know he was privileged. He was apparently smart.

But were there any other clues that something might be going wrong? He spent time in Hawaii at a co-living space during 2022 and 2023. And two people who knew Mangione during that time say that he was dealing with frequent back pain due to an injury one added that man gioni started a book club, but several members left due to discomfort over what he chose to read an online book review from January of this year apparently written by man gioni praises some of the writings of the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski.

Yeah, you know, this is a classic mistake. You never want to start your book club with the Unabomber. I mean, you kick it off with some Sally Rooney, then a little Jonathan Franzen, then when everybody's like, we're so fucking bored. That's when you hit them with the mail bomb stuff, okay? But if you're looking for something that will make you a hit with your book club,

try this one. Lucky Loser. Adventures in Tennis and Comedy by me, Michael Kosta. This is an actual real book that I wrote, and it's available to preorder now for the holidays. Consider it my manifesto for wanting your money. ["The Red Flag"] ["The Red Flag"]

["The Red Flag"] ["The Red Flag"] So his medical issues could have been a motivation. The Ted Kaczynski love could have been a red flag and recently there was something else raising alarm bells. Mangione was in regular contact with friends and family until about six months ago when he suddenly and inexplicably stopped communicating with them. In July a friend messaged him on X, hey man I need you to call me.

You made commitments to me for my wedding and if you can't honor them, I need to know so I can plan accordingly. Yeah, yeah. Sorry bro, but Luigi was busy planning the most important day of his life, okay? Yeah. Oh. But this is a good reminder.

When you get mad at someone for not responding, be kind. You never know what they're going through. They might be plotting an assassination. But now this guy's been arrested, and normally, most people believe that getting a suspected killer off the streets is a good thing. But that's not exactly what happened this time. Surging support on social media for murder suspect

Luigi Mangione, the hashtag free Luigi trending worldwide. Y'all saying murderer, I'm saying freedom fighter. The comments posted in reaction to the CNN news post? Brutal. McDonald's employees snitched on a working class hero. 251 likes. I hope someone creates a GoFundMe for his legal defense. Not all heroes wear capes.

Some wear backpacks. Does he need someone to corroborate his alibi? Because I got him. Yes, these horrible comments should never be repeated. And now, let me read all of them slowly on national television. Look, I understand that we all hate insurance companies. I happen to think America needs free universal health care funded by taxes. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But shooting a real human in the back is not heroic, and it's not going to get people what they want.

And if you want real change, we have to realize that comes from a lot of people working together, doing a lot of small things, organizing, educating, voting for politicians who will actually pass universal health care. That comes from a lot of people working together, doing a lot of small things, organizing, educating, voting for politicians who will actually pass universal health care. That might not be exciting or thrilling or sexy, but if you want that, why don't you pick up a copy of my new book, Lucky Loser, that's available for pre-order now, and it's inspired zero murders so far.

Now, there is one other reason this guy's built such a fan base. He's a total snack. And also, let's not get around the fact a lot of people find the man attractive, and so that is become this whole thing Could he be the new hot felon? I don't know There was talks about how some people were saying he was an attractive looking killer So much of the clips we were watching at the top of this segment are driven by the fact that this is an attractive person We gotta drop the banner to show why

And it is deeply troubling that we are celebrating this person And it is deeply troubling that we are celebrating this person. I love how CNN is like, I can't believe people are romanticizing this monster control room. Can we zoom in on his giant dung? My question is, is he really even that hot? I mean, take away the hair and the abs, the face, the arm, that easy smile,

the way his eyes light up. I'm sorry, what are we talking about? Are we talking about Syria? Oh, we're talking about the guy with the incredible abs. I know everyone's getting all horned up because he's got muscles, but that's not what makes a man. You know what does? Providing for your family.

Watching most of a documentary, thinking about Googling a charity you heard about. That's masculinity, all right? Thank you. Now, for more on the case, let's go live to the Manhattan DA's office with Ronnie Chang. Ronnie, Ronnie, important case. Ronnie, what's the latest?

Well, Michael was slowly learning more about who exactly Luigi Mangione is. On the surface, a well-off private school-educated young man, Ivy Lee graduate. He worked as a data engineer. All in all, he had a bright future. But five days ago, it took a dark turn. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Did you show a photo of yourself shirtless hiking? Yeah, don't worry about it.

I just want to get some good pictures of me out there in case I'm ever in the news for murder. Wait, you're gonna murder somebody? No, I don't know. I'm not a fortune teller, all right? But if it happens someday, I wanna do the responsible thing and have some thirst traps ready for CNN, all right? So just let me do my report.

Okay, all right, fine, go ahead. Anyway, the killer's motivations remain a mystery, but what we do know is that in an America with such easy access to weapons and one where passions run high, a tragedy is just moments away and can have consequences that last for life.

Ronnie, Ronnie, what the hell is this, Ronnie? What is this? No, that's just a Ken Burns effect, okay? It helps make still images more dynamic. Ronnie, Ronnie, come on, man. The news isn't gonna show pictures of your dog busting out of your Speedo. Uh, yeah, they will. That's how hotness works, Michael.

I mean, just look at Jesus, okay? Will we still be talking about him today if he looked like Rudy Giuliani? Nah, I don't think so. I mean, the fact is America is obsessed with image and images in our society can dictate public opinion. And while we wait to hear about the suspect's motive, people are mentioning his history of-

Wait, wait, wait, stop laughing at this. Why am I in that photo? Why am I 400 pounds? Why am I covered in chili? This sucks. Michael it's not personal. Okay, it's just a comparison. It just makes me look harder. Okay, but like I was saying there was a manifesto and Mangione does seem to have a serious problem. No, Ronnie. Dude.

What? Why do I have a thought bubble that says, I pee sitting down? And you're not even in that photo, this sucks. Yeah, of course I'm not in the photo. Why would I associate myself with a loser who pees sitting down? Get out of here Ronnie.

Ronnie Chang everyone. Why am I even? When we come back we find out who won awards season so don't feel left. I don't feel left. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Oh. Do you wear it at night? I never forget. Mm. Oh. Oh. That's good. That's good.

That's good. You know, the big question was, who would win the Patriot of the Year, the most, the night's most coveted award, a three star general, a courageous police officer, the hop to a girl.

Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Doan of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, A Second Look on Apple Podcasts. Welcome back to The Daily Show. My guest tonight is the nation's first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary running the Department of Interior under President Biden.

Please welcome Interior Secretary Deb Haaland. -♪ Let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, let's get it on, Right? The Department of Interior. The Department of the Interior. The Department of the Interior. And I'm going to ask for the audience because they, I know. It's been called the Department of Everything Else. What exactly is the Department of the Interior? At the Department of the Interior, we manage millions and millions of acres of all of our public lands under the National Park Service, the Wildlife Refuges, the Bureau of Land Management.

We protect and preserve our nation's cultural heritage and we uphold the trust and treaty obligations of our country's 574 federally recognized Indian tribes. What do you do at your job? Let's talk about that. You are 35th generation Laguna Pueblo from New Mexico. Yes. 35th generation. Yes.

Are you sure? I mean, that is, I asked my mom to get a picture of her grandfather. And she left the room, and I didn't see her for three days. How do you know. 35 generations. So my ancestors from Chaco Canyon, it's now Chaco culture National Historical Park migrated from that area and from other areas to bears ears Mesa Verde all over the

southwest to what is now New Mexico in like 1280. Wow. So one time I just for the heck of it took out my calculator and searched how many years in a generation and then I calculated it out and it came out to 35. That's amazing. Yeah. One of the duties that you've taken on as secretary is trying to right some historical

wrongs, many of which have been done under the guise of the Department of the Interior. Tell me about that journey. What has that been like? Yes, yes. The department that I now lead once had the job of working to assimilate Indians, moving Native Americans out of their communities away from their families to assimilate them into mainstream society. And one of the ways they did that was to essentially steal children from their mothers, fathers, families, communities, and ship them off sometimes thousands of miles

away from their homes to attend Indian boarding schools. And so when I got to the department, we thought about what can we do to make a difference in the future of our native communities across the country. One of the ways was to be honest about our country's history. It's a history that not a lot of people, not a lot of Americans realize, right? When they think of boarding school, they think about, you know, sending their kids to a really nice East Coast boarding school.

This was a place where they cut their hair, burn their clothes. They were punished for speaking in their native language. Punished for speaking in their native languages. And they couldn't practice their cultures or traditions. And they were forced to eat food that they weren't used to, right? Traditional food is important, right? It's depending on where you are geographically

in the United States. And so we wanted to bring attention to that. We wrote two reports. Our team researched, you know, they read 103 million pages of documents to put these reports together. And then we set out across the country and did what we call the Road to Healing. And we heard directly from descendants and actual survivors of the boarding school, the Indian boarding schools. And that's going to be an oral history at some point. We're working on that now.

It's the type of history that I'm embarrassed I don't know more about. So then I'm afraid to ask about it. And then the cycle happens and continues. And what does atonement look like? Yeah, so don't be afraid to ask. Because that's how you learn, right? I love that, and I just did it on TV, and now I feel like a badass.

So one of the ways, for me it's healing, right? We have this generational trauma and you can look that up and get the definition for it. Generational trauma, it's handed down through the generations. You kind of are affected by what happened to your great grandparents at some of these schools. And it's first acknowledging what happened. And that was an acknowledgement by President Biden. He made a formal acknowledgement and apology on in Arizona on Indian land and apologize

for these atrocities that happened to the children way back then. And but it's also ensuring that people don't ever forget. You learn the history, you don't forget it. And so that's what we're doing with our oral history project, making sure that folks have the opportunity to hear directly from those survivors and know what it was like. We as people are so afraid to apologize in every capacity, but it can be helpful.

Absolutely. Yes, you should, you know, we should be humble in the way we lead our lives. And when you're wrong, you should apologize, of course. Well, someone described you, maybe it was on your team, but I read it somewhere that you never fight, but you always win. And I was like, that's some Jedi mind shit right there.

What is your philosophy in handling people or difficult situations or confrontations? Well, I think that came from when I ran my congressional campaign. And so it's, yes, you, I mean, tell people what you're about, right? Tell people what they're voting for, not what they're voting against.

So it's caring about people, it's showing them what you want to do for them. That's all on the campaign side. On this side of the table, working as a federal employee, it's, yes, it's being vulnerable. It's really appreciating. It's admitting that you're not the end all be all. I lead the Department of the Interior,

but I have 65,000 federal employees, public servants, every day come to work ready to dedicate their careers to the American people. And so I give them the credit as much as I can. Man, I, yeah. It's beautiful to hear that. Also, I listened to that and there's a tragic thought of the new administration and what's coming.

And I feel like it'll be a different philosophy. How do you handle a new administration coming and one that appears on the exterior to be significantly different? Sure. Well, of course, we are responsible, and we are moving forward with the transition, right? I knew you were going to say that. It's helping.

The President Biden wants a transition that is calm and collected and all of that. So we're going to do our best to make sure that whoever comes into the Department of the Interior knows what we're working on. You know, we can tell them what's meant a lot to us and how we've managed the department. But don't forget there will still be 65,000 career staff there who don't leave when I leave. And they will continue to do the really wonderful work that they have been doing for decades and decades. Let's talk about...

You recently gave President Biden a parting gift at the Tribal Nations Summit. Yes. Tell me a little bit about that. What was it? Yes, well, it's, you know, for centuries, um, Native Americans have used blankets to, you know, look, when you bring a new baby home from the, you know, from the hospital or even if you have your child, you wrap it in a blanket, right? A blanket is something that's comforting.

It's something that's meaningful. And that's the way that Native Americans can show that they care about you. And so... I can't think of a more beautiful gift. Yeah. It's, you know, you wrap yourself in the blanket. There's the blanket.

Yeah, there it is. That's great. I mean, you know, here I am giving Amazon gift cards, and those don't warm you. If anything, they make you feel more vapid and have a hole in your soul. Well, that is, it's a Native American-owned business, and so I like to, you know, solicit businesses that I can like that. And, yes, the president was very grateful for that.

I had it monogrammed, and it said, Joe Biden, champion for Indian country 2021 to 2023. I'm very grateful for that. I had it monogrammed and it said, Joe Biden, champion for Indian country 2021 to 2023. And you just recently ran 34 miles in the desert. What's wrong with you? I mean, as if... Look, although technically that could be somebody else because your face is covered.

But what's all that about you don't have enough on your plate? So I love running. And we went to visit on an official visit to Canyon de Chez. It's in Arizona. It's a joint management between the National Park Service and the Navajo Nation. And one of our tour guides told us about this race,

and as soon as I got in the car, I said, we need to run that. And so it's a lottery. I applied. That gives us a little bit of an insight into your mindset, too. I applied for the race. I got in, believe it or not. And so then, of course, I had to, you know, I have a little bit of an entourage when I travel.

So some of my security detail and stuff had to run with me. I like that. So I don't know how. They're going like four miles and then they're sharing it. No, they're not. Just think about our security here. They couldn't even go 500 feet. No, one of them ran 17 miles up and the other one ran 17 miles back with me.

Years ago, you broke your foot hiking a mountain. I did. And then you refused to take a helicopter down and you walked down on this broken foot. Was that like for environmental reasons or something? It was actually a broken leg. It broke my leg. I had those hiking poles, so that was helpful. Well, it sounds like it wasn't if you broke your leg.

No, they weren't helpful at the time. I slipped on a rock. Isn't that strange? It was just a freak accident. But my choices were to walk down, take a helicopter, like, dangle on the outside of the helicopter, was the thing, I think, or get eight staff away from their jobs to carry me down in a chair.

And all I thought about was the headlines, right? Secretary Haaland, you know, takes eight staff away from their jobs to carry her down the mountain in a chair. So I decided to walk. That's tough of you. It shows your grit. Um... You have 40 days left on the job.

What is next for Madam Secretary? I mean, you have successfully run a salsa company, bakery. You're now, you're in school right now as we speak? No, I'm not actually in school. I am, I'm working to finish my master's thesis that I kind of put on hold for a long time. Yeah. So, I'm going to finish that.

And what is your master's thesis on? It's about, it's about native food, actually. Amazing. Yes, I wanted to show that at Laguna, we still have, we still, our traditional foods are the same as they were before we migrated, stew and bread. It might be different forms, right? I may not grow my corn personally, but when I cook it together, the way that my ancestors did, we consider it traditional.

That's amazing. I feel the same way about microwave popcorn, but... LAUGHTER This comes from Ronnie Chang, my friend and fellow News Team member, and I love this question. What Native American philosophy can be applied to our current lives and times? team member and I love this question. What Native American philosophy can be applied to our current lives and times? And if it's a bad question, it's Ronnie's question.

Okay. So I don't know about Native American quote unquote philosophy, but I'll tell you some words that I live by. That's broad. Yes, okay, please. Some words I live by every single day. My auntie, God rest her soul, Auntie Anne, she was the kindest human being you would ever meet and her advice to me was be nice to everyone. Be nice to everyone. Be nice to people you don't particularly care about because that's what you should radiate out to people, right? Be kind to animals, just be kind. And I feel like sometimes kindness might be in short supply in our country right now,

but if we all followed my aunt's advice, then we might be better off. I think that's a beautiful answer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um. Um.

Um. Um. Um. Um. It's ironic that Ronnie asked that question, because he's a dickhead to everybody. Thank you so much for talking with us. I really appreciate it. Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland.

We'll take a quick break, and we'll be right back after this. Thank you so much. Now, we'll check back in. Thank you. That's our show for tonight. Now here it is, your moment of zen. Hey, good morning guys. Yeah, first let's talk about the community reaction to all of this.
