Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. 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 Jordan Clepper. We got so much to talk about tonight. Joe Biden is getting a celebrity makeover. New Yorkers are furious that traffic might go away and Leslie Jones is joining us tonight. Plus... Plus... Yeah, plus... Plus legend Huey Lewis will be here. That's cool.

Let's get in the headlines. Let's get in the headlines. Let's begin with the breaking news. Sam Bankman Freed disgraced Cryptomogal, and man who got bitten by a radioactive pub has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for all his crypto scams. Now, hopefully, hopefully this saga has taught people not to fall for the easy money scam that is Bitcoin. Bitcoin on fire touching another all-time high yesterday.

Bitcoin hits another record. The world's largest cryptocurrency surged above $72,000 today a new all-time high. By Bitcoin. Use kids college tuition accounts. Sure thing. Yeah, not a problem. Speaking of money, let's move on to one of the foundational principles of American democracy. Money. The Green was out today when President Joe Biden made history with the biggest one-day cash grab of all time.

The Biden campaign just announced that its blinged out fundraiser in New York tonight has already raised $25 million. The event will feature former President's Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and a huge list of others. They will be assembling more than 5,000 supporters at Radio City Music Hall for this first of its kind fundraiser. One batch of supporters who will have a photo taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz of themselves and the three presidents.

Wow. Biden, Obama and Clinton all in one show. It's like Coachella for the kids who asked the teacher for more homework. I mean this fundraiser is serious. Some people are spending $500,000 to be there. Guys, I'm sorry, this just feels gross. $500,000 for access to a president. I mean, that's not how democracy should work.

Save that money for a Supreme Court justice. Much better bang for your bus. Just smart. Shell out for an RV and a jet ski and you're there. I will say, it must be a unique experience to have your picture taken with three presidents. And it's not just any photographer. It's Annie Leibovitz. Maybe the most famous photographer. She did that one of Debbie Moore, pregnant and naked. John Lennon hugging Yoko naked.

Sting in the desert, naked. The point is, you are going to have to be naked. Don't worry, Bill Clinton is way ahead of you. So, it's fine. It's totally fun. Let's move on because while the president are hobnobbing in New York City, the rest of us have to deal with the traffic. Now every city is all too familiar with the side effects of traffic.

Delays, pollution, flipping someone off a mile back and now you're stuck next to them for an hour. Just, hey, hey hey! But now, New York City might have just found a solution. Here in New York, the first of the nation congestion pricing plan set to begin soon, charging drivers a $15 toll to enter midtown Manhattan. The MTA says 700,000 vehicles enter this part of the city every weekday and the new tolls will help curb congestion and possibly generate billions of dollars for improvements to mass transit.

But for many New York City commuters, they're saying no thanks. Another $15 just to get to work, which is just, it's absurd. And for each and every one of you, there is a special place in hell for you. All right, Lucifer waits for you. He waits for you. He waits for you. He sounds bad. But if you don't know, in New York, that's a typical greeting.

Hey, Jerry. Lucifer waits in hell for you, you're a today. tooky, you know. the kid. thii. Hey Jerry, Lucifer winks in hell for you, you son of a bitch! How are the kids? Sadie, is she good? See you at the Montessori drop-off, you jag off. Now, personally, I can see the upsides to congestion pricing. It's better for the environment. It reduces traffic.

There's fewer cars on the road, so there's more space for you to get hit by delivery bikes. But, understandably people are upset. the theeueueueueueueueueueueue. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. See thi. See. See. See. See. See. See. See. See thi. See thi. See. See. See. See thi. See thi. See thi. See thi. See thi. See thi. See th. See thi. See th. See th. See th. See th. See th. See th. See th. See th. See th. See th. See th. See th. See th.

But, understandably, people are upset. And the last thing I want is angry drivers in New York. I mean, can you imagine? New York's already too expensive. A beer, $15. Grab a lunch, that's 40 bucks. You want to get a handy from Times Square Elmo? Not in this economy.

For more on the congestion pricing, we go live to Grace. to grace, to grace, to grace, to grace, to grace, to grace, to grace, to grace, to grace, to grace, to grace, to grace, to grace, to grace, to grace, to grace, to grace, to grace, to to to to to to to to to to to to to the 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 the to the the the the to to the to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their the the tha?a?a the the the theaughananananananananananananananannexxxxaxicoaxicoaaa?a, thoanananne on the congestion pricing, we go live to Grace Coolidge-Schmidt. Yeah. Grace, you're also a commuter like me. I assume you'll be sucking it up and paying the congestion fee too. Uh, no, maybe you're a sheep, but not me. Grace, I'm not a sheep. Bah! That's what you sound like Jordan. Okay.

But I'm going to share you and make a lovely sweater. Look, I'm not just going to pay a congestion fee just because the law says I have to. That's not what America is about. Check your Constitution, bro. You mean the document that is a collection of laws? That's what you're talking about? Okay, okay. Grace, Grace, Grace, you can't avoid the fee. They'll have cameras that will catch you driving into the city. Yeah, on the roads, that's why I'm I'm going to drive through the sewers. It's fast, it's efficient, and you might run into a teenage mutant ninja turtle. I mean, ninja turtles aren't real, Grace. So I was hooking up with four normal teenage turtles?

Uh, you know, for all our sakes, I'm going to move on. Uh, I should point out, you can't actually fit a car in the sewers. Okay, then how about this? The fees only apply to cars and trucks. So I buy a Boeing 737, they're super cheap right now. Those are, those are really dangerous. Yeah, to fly, I'm gonna drive it, idiot. Grace, wouldn't it just be easier to take the subway? No, it's a hellhole down there, Jordan.

Have you ever heard of subway flashing? Yes, I know it's a big problem. Yeah, a lot of people don't even react when you do it. Everyone's on their phones. It's very hurtful. Okay, uh, just take their phones. It's very hurtful. Okay, uh, please just take the subway. There's got to be a better way. I know.

I'm gonna dig a tunnel under the cameras so I can avoid them. And then over time, I'll extend that tunnel to connect to different areas of the city. You're describing the subway. I'm describing an underground utopia. And I am going to call to to to call to call to call the to call to call the to call to call the to call to call to call the to call the to call to call the to call the to call the to call the to call the to to the to to to to to be a the subway. I'm describing an underground utopia. And I am going to call it the subway. Okay, Grace Coolidge-Schmidt, everybody. When we come back, Leslie Jones will be joining us. Don't go away. Hey everybody, John Stewart here.

I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? Listen to the Daily Show. You know, all this week I've been sharing my opinions on the news, and rightfully so.

They're pretty great opinions. But studies show that other people also have opinion. So, here with another installment of, in my opinion, is our good friend, Leslie Jones. Yes. That's right, your favorite auntie is back to straighten out America because America needs me. Lord, have mercy. Yes. That's right. Your favorite auntie is now less than eight months away.

And guess what? America needs me. Lord, have mercy. The election is now less than eight months away and guess what? America is on the path to doing something really, really stupid. New Fox News polls finding former President Trump leading President Biden by five points nationally in a head-to-head matchup. This is his biggest lead yet against Joe Biden.

Just over half of those voters said that they are worse off today than compared to 2020. A new CBS News poll shows 46% of registered voters remember the Trump-era presidency as excellent or good, compared to President Biden's 33%. If the election were held today, even Democrats, I know, think that Trump would win. What the fuck is wrong with us? Seriously? This is like a movie where you see the disaster coming from a mile away and nobody is stopping it!

Every time I turn on the news I'm shouting at the screen like, like it's a horror movie, don't go in there America! Leather faces in there America! I mean, are we going to really bring back a man who tried to overthrow the government? This is like asking Jeffrey Upsing to watch your kids. Or a pedophile priest to watch your kids. Or that sick f-feeh who used to work at Nickelodeon to watch your kids. Hey, how about we do this?

Don't let anybody watch your kids! And listen, I know some people don't care about January 6th, but let me remind you about something real quick. He was also a terrible, fucking president before that. Do you really not remember? I know we don't have the attention spans anymore, but how can you forget the man who wanted to nuke a hurricane? That actually happened. And the thing that gets me the most is there are people who are saying we're worse

off than we were in 2020. In 2020, we didn't even have fucking toilet paper. We was wiping our ass with family photos. And listen I know the pandemic wasn't Trump's fault but Trump made it worse every chance he got. Don't you people remember the kind of advice he was given us? President Trump suggested without facts that bleach injections might fight COVID. And then I see the disinfectant,

where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute, and is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or, or almost a cleaning. He told us to inject ourselves with disinfecting! We turned to him for advice and dude was like, care yourself. I could go on and on about why it would be a terrible idea to bring back Trump. But you know what? I guess I shouldn't be surprised that America is about to do something that we know is harmful to us because that is what we always do.

Look at how we treat our own bodies. We know we need to sleep eight hours a night, but we stay up all night scrolling onto our phone until it falls on our damn face. We know we should take care of our mental health but we entertain ourselves by watching documentaries of fucking serial killers. We know we should go to the doctor but instead we get medical advice from the internet. Listen, listen, I'm guilty of it too. When I feel sick, I look up symptoms on WebMD. I know it's irresponsible, but I can't control myself,

probably because I'm dying of scurvy. We... We are constantly making decisions that we know are bad for us. We know we should be eating healthy, but instead we eat like shit. We are out here eating double-stuffed Oreos and triple-decker sandwiches. We stack our food like a fucking Jenga. You know what has only one layer? A goddamn carrot! Just look at the linch we go to for fast food.

Look at it! Well, this week we learned the answer to the age-old question. How long would you wait in line just for an in-and-out burger? At the store's first location in Idaho, some patrons had to wait as long as eight hours. This week's opening featured customers, even braving cold temperatures to camp out overnight, just to be the first in line. to be the first in line. You disgusting gluttonous, motherfa, 8 hours? I'm not a mathematician, but if you're waiting 8 hours for fast food, it ain't fast food no mom! Unbelievable!

Some of the stuff we eat shouldn't even be legal. In fact, in some countries, it's not legal. There's shit that's been banned in Europe because it gives you cancer and we're like, nah, we're good. Because we don't care enough to make good decisions. It's even acceptable in America to binge drink as an adult. Listen, it's cute at 21, but baby, at 45, that's called alcoholism. And after eating like shit, we know we should be exercising, but instead we're doing shit

like this. And next, you've always wanted six-pack abs but can't seem to get to the gym. Now there's a shortcut for that. Researchers at the University of Miami have developed a new plastic surgery technique called abdominal etching. It can reshape belly fat to make you look like you spent a lot of time at the gym. Tools and some foam, this is surgery, are used to sculpt abdominal fat to accentuate muscle lines, typically six for men and three vertical lines for women.

Jesus wept. What is wrong with you people? You can't trick people into thinking that you got fake abs? That's why we got spanks. I can't believe that this is what we got our scientists working on. Forget about curing diseases. We got to make Jordan look like he doing sit-ups. I mean, uh, uh, Maybe we use a different name for that joke.

I think that's a good name. I think that's a good name. I think it makes a joke perfect. Like a Paul or Steve or a... No, no. I mean there's a lot of... But it's not just Jordan. No, no.

It's not just Jordan. We all make wrong decisions from food to exercise to mental health. Last but not least, most importantly, we know we shouldn't be dating DJs. But here I am, swiping right, on every fucking guy with DJ in his bio. Now I'm on the third hour of listening to his new song and the beat still hasn't dropped. Drop the fucking beat, DJ, Andre! I gotta go get some sleep! So here's an idea, America. How about for at least this election? For this one thing, let's not do the obviously stupid thing that we know we shouldn't do.

And that means you're going to have to put in some effort. It means getting involved in the political process. It means not sitting on your ass just because you're not in love with the choices. I know you like fast food. But this time, let's eat a carrot instead of voting for a guy who looks like a carrot. Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls?

We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is a Grammy Award winning artist who sold over 30 million records. His songs inspired the new Broadway musical, The Heart of Rock and Roll. Please welcome Huey Lewis and the fake news finally together. Together at once. It is an

honor to have you here in New York. Thank you. I tell you my news is kind of fake too. So don't break my heart Huey. You're here. You got a big Broadway musical opening tomorrow. The preview start tomorrow. Right. And I'm curious, you 30 million records sold, 12, top 10 hits. How do you start to narrow down what makes it into the heart of rock and roll? Which songs make it into the? Yeah. Well, it's a, it came about because a producer called Tyler Mitchell, who's my neighbor's friend, was

a big fan of ours. And I was over at my neighbor's house for my birthday. And he was there. And my neighbor's a big musical theater buff and said, you know, since Desistadu's tien't, you should do a musical. We started to talk about Mamma Mia Mia and he says you should do a musical with Huey's music and so he said what do you think I said sure give it a try and he went off with his pal John Abrams who came back with a very nice idea. Yeah you're saying that's

all it take if I ran into like a decade ago and said your music your music your music is great it's known worldwide people to the their th you you you you you you you you you you you you th you th you th you th you th you th th th to th th th th th th to th th th th. thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus th. thus. thi thus. thus. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the to to to to to to to to to to to the. to the. the. the. th it. You should do more of it publicly like I could be working with you right now Yeah, well Shit Actually, you know, it took nine years. So it and what they did what Tyler and John did was they printed out all of our lyrics Right and put him up on the wall and then just lived with them and I guess there was some jogging involved and listening to lyrics. And this story emerged that this really, you know, pretty compelling. I was going to say now in creating a musical you have to create a narrative, but these songs are written singularly.

Do you, how does that look to take a step back? Do you feel like there was a sense of narrative to those songs to begin with, or is it sort of a reinvention of what was there? Yeah, it's a reimagining the tunes, really. And, you know, they worked in a certain way anyway, but we had to tweak them a little bit in order to push the story forward, you know, but by the same token toke toke toke toomk, toomk, thean thean thean, thean, thean, the thea, the thea, tho, tho, the thi, the the the, the, the, the, tho, throwne, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th...... Soan, t. Soo, t. Soo, tha. tha. tha, tthau. tthau. thau. thea. togu. thea, thea, togu. togu. thea, togu. togu. togu. t you know, but by the same token, you don't want to lose the integrity of the song, so that's the little balancing act, you know. It's so, now the musical is set in the 80s, correct? It's just set in the 80s, and we had a lot of fun with that. I'm sure.

It's so interesting because I will admit, I ever bought, The Small World by Huey Lewis in the News. Wow. Yes. And I used to dance around the house to sports with my family. You've been... That's a little too much information. Sorry, okay, yeah. My child was conceived. Do you want more? Oh, do you want more? Please. The only rock and roll is still beaten. I gotta say it works, it works. Well, it works. Well, let me say, thump, dump. the rock. The the rock. The the rock. The the rock. The rock. The rock. The rock. The rock. The rock. The rock. The rock. The rock. The rock. The rock. The rock. The rock. The rock. The rock. The rock. The rock. The rock. The o' all, that. The o' all, please. The only, please. The only, please. The only, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's, that's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's. That's. That's, that's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's, that's, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. that's all all all all all all all all th. That's thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, it really sets the food. What I will say is, as a fan, it was, it's fun to go back and look at some of the videos from the 80s, because you look at the music, when I'm re-approaching watching some of them, what's so interesting is I feel like your music videos, unlike many of the ones at the time, had a real comedic sensibility, that you're not only presenting the songs, you found a way to inject humor into it. And so you're sort of at this new art form, you're pushing this forward, this art and this music beyond, but you're also that, that, th...... th. th. th. th. th. You, you, you, you, you, you, you're, you're, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thii. thiii. thi. thii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, this art and this music beyond, but you're also finding your way sort of as a comedic character and a comedian.

Right. Did you feel yourself doing that at the time? I think I should get some kind of an award for God's sake. Exactly. I mean, honestly, MTV, the videos were a necessary evil? You know, we, weak, Honestly MTV of the videos were a necessary evil. You know we we started off as an audio band and and you write this song which tells this story and now oh my gosh you got to make a video so and so what

we decided we were going to do them ourselves we had a very Hollywood producer the record company got him to do our very first video. This is do you believe in love where we're all in bed and we're we're pointing at 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 audio. we're we're we're we're we're th. th. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're tho th. We're tho th. tho. tho tho tho tho tho th. th. th. th. tho tho tho tho. tho. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. to to to to to their to to. to. to. the. tho. the. the. to do our very first video. This is Do You Believe in Love? We're all in bed and we're pointing at the girl. There's sex of us in bed pointing at the girl singing. And he did, we shot this video all day and then, and I remember we went to see the rough cut and oh my gosh, there was, the record company was there, and the video company and all of it. There are probably 20 people, and he announced that this was gonna see the run through.

It hadn't been colorized yet. It's gonna be amazing when it's colorized. But here we go, and he plays this video, and turns the lights off, and my heart sank. I thought it was the worst thing I'd ever seen. It's just horrible. And when it ended, everybody stood up and gave us a standing ovation. So I remember thinking to myself, clearly, clearly there's no really, nobody knows anything about this.

We're writing our own songs and we're producing our own music. We should be doing our own videos. And that's what we did. We threw the song in the dumper, as it were, as it as it as it as it tho, as it tho, as it to to to to to tho, as it to to to tho, as it to to tho, to tho, tho, tho, to tho, to too, to tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho,the dumper, as it were, don't retell the story. Just goof around and have fun and be funny. I think, indeed. You said that a little better than I did, actually. I want to give you credit, I would give you award. I feel like you perfected the comical take over the fancy sunglasses.

Right, right. It was a big one for me. It was a big one, right? Did you practice that in the mirror? Is that Varnay? Varnay, Varnay, varnay, varnay. Varnay, v. the sunnay, Fiji Water, we get it, Huey. It's not Huey Newys, Blue is in the plugs, all right? There was a wonderful documentary that came out recently that looked at the behind the scenes

of We Are the World. Yeah. And you talk about your experiences in that amazing wild night of pop music. I think what was so fascinating about watching that documentary is when I was wondering on a was wondering on a night like that, are people aware of the cameras there? There's no cell phones? People don't have assistance in that room. And then I was shocked by how sober everybody was, except for Al Jaro. Al Jaro. But it's surprising. I don't know if you could do something like that day.

Were people as sober as... Well, I mean, you know, there was check your ego with the door. Well, clearly nobody's going to pull an ego trip on this group, right? Yeah. And so I think we all were a little nervous, except Stevie wonder. thi's not nervous, to be honest. And so was there, again, something like that had never happened before, I think with the presence of cameras there, did that add a attention in that room? Well, actually, there weren't that many cameras, and we were so focused on the,

I think it was pretty, pretty transparent actually. What was interesting is that I think we all all think think think think think tho, tho, think, thi thi thi that thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that that that that that that thi, that thi, thi, that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that, that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that I think we all realized, I certainly did, that this was going to be the career event of my life. You know, I was barely 30 years old and I'm thinking, what could be more amazing than this? And I think a lot of us kind of felt that way. There's still a kind of a bond between all the people who were on that night. And it was just an amazing evening, obviously. There's a moment in there where Stevie Wonder throws out the idea of singing in Swahili, which seemed to really split the room.

Waylon Jennings, I believe, walked out. Yeah. And actually what happened, and I don't think it's in the documentary, but, yeah, Waylon walked out, and it clearly wasn't going to happen, 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, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, and, and, and, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was.

You have to, you have to fuck one of these albums. So make love to the album. One of those records. The hypothetical, the metaphorical idea of the album. Okay. Make love to the album.

You have to marry the album, like engage in matrimony with the album. Okay. A real commitment with the album. Okay. Out of those four albums, you have to make love to one. You have to commit yourself, marry to the other. And you have to execute one. Wow.

Wow, that's tough. It's tough. I'm gonna execute foot loose, because Kenny Loggins won't mind. He's a good guy. Okay. I'm gonna- Everybody cut. That's an easy one. I'm gonna make love to born in the USA.

You bring such goodwill to people. And I heard the story that, back to the future, Robert Zemekas told you that Marty McFly, his favorite, the fictional character, Marty McFly, his favorite band would be Huey Lewis in the News. Right. Then in American Psycho, Patrick Bateman. Favorite band to Jared Leto too is Huey Lewis in the news. And so in a fictional universe you appeal both to a person who is a time traveler and a person who is a psycho killer.

You are that universal. And you know what, that's, that iser Rock and Rolls. We get tomorrow, March 29th at the James Earl's Road Theater. You and Lewis.
