Starting point is 00:00:00 Survivor 47 is here, which means we're bringing you a brand new season of the only official survivor podcast on fire. And this season we are joined by fan favorite and Survivor 46 runner-up, Charlie, Charlie, I'm excited to do this together. Thanks, Jeff. So excited to be here, and I can't wait to bring you inside the mind of a survivor player for season 47. Listen to On Fire the official Survivor podcast starting September 18th wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central. From New York City, the only city in America. It's the show that invented news. This is the Daily Show with your host, Charlemagne Nagat. Welcome to the Daily Show.
Starting point is 00:01:07 I go by the name of Charlemagne to God. Hello. Now, this is my last night as guest host. Don't feel sad for me, all right? Because originally I was only supposed to do four nights, but then they bought me back and I lasted eight nights. So it's a Black Huddock a miracle. That's right. We've got a great show for you tonight, so let's get into the headlines.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Let's kick things off with the big political news. Last night was another debate between all the Republican candidates who aren't going to win. Yeah. It's like the national spelling bee without the Asian kids. Yeah. And we've got all the details in our continuing coverage of democracy 2024. There was a lot to talk about in this debate, starting with Vavik, Rameswami, millionaire, businessman, and the guy who puts the dick in valedictorian. Over the last few debates Ramaswami has built up a bit of a reputation for being a world-class
Starting point is 00:02:14 asshole. Yeah, and this debate was no different. One thing that Joe Biden and Nick Haley have in common is that neither of them could even state for you three provinces in eastern Ukraine that they want to send our troops to actually fight for. Look at the blank expression. She doesn't know the names of the provinces that she wants to actually fight for. The only person more fascist than the Biden regime now is Nicky Haley. Nicky, I don't have a woman problem.
Starting point is 00:02:40 You have a corruption problem. And I think that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thatthat that's where people need to know Nikki is corrupt. This is a woman who will send your kids to die so she can buy a bigger house. Do everybody a favor just walked yourself off that stage enjoy a nice meal and get the hell out of this race. Why am I the only person on the stage at least who can say that January 6 now does look like it was an inside job. That the government lied to us for 20 years about Saudi Arabia's involvement in 9-11. That the great replacement theory is not some grand right-wing conspiracy theory. That the 2020 election was indeed stolen by Big Tech. That the 2016 election, the one that Trump won for sure was also one that was stolen
Starting point is 00:03:23 from him by the national security establishment. Okay, thank you. Thank you. I didn't want them to cut him off. I want to know what Bigfoot lives. All right? Okay. This dude is up here spewing every conspiracy in the book.
Starting point is 00:03:37 9-11 stolen elections, replacement theory. He is right about January 6 being an inside job though. I mean the whole thing was orchestrated by the president. You can't get more inside than that, all right? And by the way, yeah, and by the way, going after Haley for supposedly not knowing three provinces in Ukraine just makes Haley seem relatable. None of us know shit about Ukraine. We just put that flag in our bio and call it a day. And when he told Chris Christie to go enjoy a nice meal, that was supposed to be a fat joke, right? I mean, it was definitely a more subtle fat joke than I expect from Vick.
Starting point is 00:04:20 He's such an asshole. I figured he said something like, hey Chris, if this president thing doesn't work out, don't worry. I heard they're doing an all-white reboot of precious. All right? Or, he could just hold up a sign that says, thick, thick, thick, thick. All right. I'm just saying, if you want to be the new Trump, don't be subtle about it. And by the way, say what you want about Chris Christie.
Starting point is 00:04:46 He was the only person on that stage who knew why Donald Trump getting reelected would be a giant problem for the country. I'm in this race because the truth needs to be spoken. He is unfit. This is a guy who just said this past week that he wants to use the Department of Justice to go after his enemies when he gets in there. This is an angry, bitter man who now wants to be back as president because he wants to exact retribution on anyone who has disagreed with him. Anyone who has tried to hold him to account for his own conduct? Do I think he was kidding when he said he was a dictator?
Starting point is 00:05:23 All you have to do is look at the history. You want to know why those poll numbers are where they are? Because folks like these three guys on the stage make it seem like his conduct is acceptable. Let me make it clear. His conduct is unacceptable. He's unfit. That's good for Christy. Good for him. You gotta give him his props, gotta give him his props. Although it does show just how out of touch he is with the Republican base.
Starting point is 00:05:46 He's like, guys, Donald Trump is gonna be a dictator. And the whole audience is like, we know, we can't wait. Okay? And Christie is right. Other Republicans should be speaking out against Trump's authoritarian aspirations, okay? Hearing someone say they want to become a dictator is like hearing someone say, they want to start 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 their their to to to to to their their their their their their tru tru truec-Ia truec-Iaqqqii. truec-Ia truec-I truec-I truec-I truec. tr. trueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueue.... their, their, their, their, their, theirn. theirn't theirn't theirn't tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. tru. true. true. tru a dictator is like hearing someone say they want to start a podcast You should be doing everything you can to stop them Then of course there's Nikki Haley who has recently surged in the first place among all the candidates who are in distant second place. Okay,
Starting point is 00:06:18 Although based on this debate, I guess she doesn't think she needs the youthful We really do need to ban Tick tok once and for all and let me tell you why th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th th th th th th th th th th th. th. th. th. tell you th. tell you th. th. th. tell you tho. tho. tho. that. thi. tho. to to to to to to be. to be. 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. th. the. to. to te. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the. the. the. think she needs the youthful? We really do need to ban TikTok once and for all. And let me tell you why, for every 30 minutes that someone watches Tick Tock, every day, they become 17% more anti-Semitic, more pro-Hamas based on doing that. Hold up, TikTok makes you anti-Semitic. Elon must be shitting himself right now, like, they're muscling in on my turf.
Starting point is 00:06:49 For real, man. This is the weirdest stat I've heard since that one about eating eight spiders a year in your sleep. How do they know that? If someone watching me while I'm sleeping, and if they are, why aren't they stopping me from eating all these spiders? All right? Listen, Nikki, first you hated Tick Tock because of privacy concerns. Now you hate it because of anti-Semitism. Just admit it.
Starting point is 00:07:11 You can't figure out how to go viral, and you're jealous. OK? All right. Now, one topic that didnthere were actually two mass shootings just yesterday, one in Las Vegas and one in Texas. But it's also nights, but it's also not surprising they didn't talk about it because it's the same thing after every shooting. Republicans want to talk about anything except guns. Guns aren't the problem.
Starting point is 00:07:40 It's people who pick up guns and cause the crime. The end of the day, it's the problem is the human heart. It's not guns, not the weapons. Anybody who shoots somebody else has a mental health challenge, period. We stop teaching values in so many of our schools. Now we're teaching wokenness. We're indoctrining our children with things like CRT. Transgender hormone treatments and ideology increased the risk of extreme depression,
Starting point is 00:08:07 aggression, and even violence. All the porn, all the bad stuff that's out there, these violent video games that are out there, getting in the minds of our children. Why don't we do something about it? Did this dude really say that porn and video games turn kids into shooters? Those two things keep kids at home. If anything, no, it's true. It's true. I mean, if anything, we should ban schools. That's what a school shootings happened. But this got us
Starting point is 00:08:43 wondering, what would it take to get a GOP politician to say the word guns? Take a look. Welcome to the final round of $1 million Republican pyramid. Mary, you just have to get this Republican congressman to guess one word, and you win $1 million. Your time starts now. Oh, okay. It's the reason America has so many mass shootings. Wokeness. No, why do mass shootings only happen in America?
Starting point is 00:09:13 Violent video games. I said only in America, an American thing. Oh, because we don't say the Pledge of Allegiance anymore. Mass shooting. Why do they happen? Oh, mental health crisis. drag shows, smartphones, and marijuana, oh, single mothers, married mothers, just mothers. No, I know you know this. They killed 30,000 people here. Okay, you should have said that. Swimming pools. Jesus Christ. They have bullets. Powerpoints. They have bullets, and they're dangerous for school children. Oh, PowerPoints about gender.
Starting point is 00:09:47 Okay. Imagine a mass shooting just happened. Mary, if I may. I'd like to offer my thoughts and prayer. We don't have time for this. Just say guns. Guns. Why can you say guns? The answer was guns.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Mary, it is too soon to politicize this. All right, when we come back, I'll tell you who should be the next president, so don't you go anywhere. Have you ever been watching the news and thought to yourself, wow, the Supreme Court sure does suck. We made a podcast about that. We sure did. There is a supermajority of conservative maniacs on the Supreme Court right now, really doing some damage. I'm Michael. I'm Riannan. And I'm Peter. Our podcast 5-4 is about all of this. Every week. supermajority of conservative maniacs on the Supreme Court right now, really doing some damage.
Starting point is 00:10:45 I'm Michael. I'm Riannan. And I'm Peter. Our podcast, 5-4 is about all of this. Every week we dissect and analyze a different ruling that has made our country a little worse, a little more cruel. And you would not believe how many of them there are. Check out 5 to podcast.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Welcome back to the daily show. As you all know where a year out from the election and even though it seems like the two nominees are inevitable. There are still some potential options out there. Welcome back to the Daily Show. As you all know where a year out from the election and even though it seems like the two nominees are inevitable, there are still some potential options out there. No, never you, DeSantis, okay? I'm talking about candidates that have main character energy, like this guy. After leaving Shark Tank and agreeing to sell the majority stake in his NBA team, does Mark Cuban want to run for president? The billionaire, Mark, 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, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, they, 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, thi, thi sold his majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks. Wow. Why did he do that? My opinion
Starting point is 00:11:48 running for president or at least exploring a run. Mark Cuban makes sense. He's very famous. He can sell fund. He can sell fund. Hea. thea. to thea. to the thrown. tooe. the thrown. too. the thr. toe. the. the. the. the. the. the. toe. the. the. toe. the. Mark. Mark. Mark. Mark. Mark. toe. Mark.

I'm a huge fan. I hope he does run for president. You know who I like, and he's not a politician, Mark Cuban. Yeah. Yeah, Cuban. Okay. An outsider, billionaire with a reality show about business. Hmm. Why is no one ever thought of that?
Starting point is 00:12:16 Okay? I just hope he has a bunch of corrupt kids. Now, look, there are obviously differences between Trump and Mark Cuban. For example, Cuban is an actual billionaire, all right? Okay. He made his money the honest way by inventing the Cuban sandwich. Okay? He also owns a basketball team, which means he actually wants to hire black people.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Okay? But this news got me thinking about how thirsty we still are for a celebrity in chief and the concept isn't new. Well before Trump, celebrities from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Ronald Reagan all succeeded in politics. And it makes sense. They've got huge name ID, they're charismatic, and they already lie for a living, okay? That's like 90% of the job. The other 10% is pardoning in turkeys and invading the Middle East. But you know, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, but th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the the thi, the the the the the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.eeeeee, thi, thi, the. The other 10% is pardoning turkeys and invading the Middle East, but you know.
Starting point is 00:13:07 But this year the stakes feel higher. Americans who don't want another President Trump are worried that the current president doesn't have the star power to beat him, even though Biden is almost a combined age of four Jenna Ortegas. Now call me old-fashioned, but I prefer our politicians come from politics. Okay, I know it's weird. It's like how I want my surgeons to come from medical school and not Gray's anatomy, but hey, if it takes a celebrity to beat Donald Trump, then all right, let's play that game. But why stop it Mark Cuban? There's lots of celebrities out there
Starting point is 00:13:40 who would make good presidents. For example, how about the rock? Why not? He's got the name recognition. He could literally, literally carry this country on his back, okay? And polls already show that he's got more support than Biden. I mean, I don't know anything about his politics or his ideas for the country, but on the other hand, he's tall, so yeah, run for president, Duane. Okay? Oh, here's another option. How about Keanu Reeves? That's a great choice, okay? Just because we could replace the entire military industrial complex with John Wick, all right? You send him to Moscow and that war is over by breakfast.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Although if his dog starts biting secret service agents, you don't want to be the guy who has to take his dog away. All right? Now, of course, Oprah would be an amazing option because she's fucking Oprah, all right? If you even have to ask why she should be president, you'll be the first to be deported, all right? Or how about a president who has sat in this very chair? No, not me.
Starting point is 00:14:45 I love taking bribes too much. What about John Stewart? He's a voice, folks, trust. He got a common sense perspective. He's gotten more legislation passed than most members of Congress. Plus, I asked everybody in this building and not one person has any dirt on him, okay? Which means he's really good at hiding his dirt. All right? You ain't gonna never find his p-tape. All right? And for all of you saying that
Starting point is 00:15:16 we can't have a short Jewish comedian running our country, guess what? They did it in Ukraine. And everything in Ukraine is going great. All right. Let's move on What about Matthew McConaughey? Okay, okay No, Matthew McConaughey. What about Beyonce? Okay, okay, all right and sorry Swifties it can't be tell and she was born in Kenya, but listen Before we dive back into bed with a celebrity candidate, we gotta be honest about how effective they would really be. Just because you know how to run a company, it doesn't mean you know how to run a country.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Just because you can play a politician, it doesn't mean you know how to legislate. Just because you can stop bullets with your hand, That might be helpful actually, because it would have helped Kennedy. I'm not saying celebrities can't become politicians, but maybe we don't let them start at president because you can't squeeze years of political experience into a training montage. And besides, if celebrities want to run the country, they already have a place for that in our society. And that place is the Illuminati.
Starting point is 00:16:28 All right? When we come back, Jelly Ro will be joining me on the show and thought to yourself, wow, the Supreme Court sure does suck. We made a podcast about that. We sure did. There is a supermajority of conservative maniacs on the Supreme Court right now, really doing some damage. I'm Michael.
Starting point is 00:17:02 I'm Riannan. And I'm Peter. Our podcast, 5 to 4 is about all of this. Every week, we dissect and analyze a different ruling that has made our country a little worse, a little more cruel. And you would not believe how many of them there are. Check out 5 to 4. That's the number 5-4, wherever you listen to the Daily Show.

Yeah, absolutely man. Want to show me that sometimes you got to let a song find people. You know, music meets us where we are. That's the beauty of a Charlemn. It's there to help. M. their theat. thr-It's is is their th. It's is their the. It's the. It's the. It's the. It's their the. It's their. It's their. It's their. It's their. It's the. the. the. It's the. It's their.

I love your story too, man. 15 years ago you went in prison and now you're a Grammy-nominated musician. So I guess my question is, should everybody go to prison? Yeah, I guess, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:19:18 they're giving it away free, y'all, especially. I promise, it's real easy to get there. It's easier to get there. It's easy to say. Three hots and a cop, baby. You got guaranteed bed, three meals a day, it's all good, actually, it's good. Might see a high school friend. And I love your song she too man when you address the heroin and fentanyl epidemic. Yes why is this song so important to tell you know man I think it's important as an artist for us to talk about the things that people are afraid to talk about and that art sometimes is an expression of what words are even afraid to say so I think it's a responsibility as a song to write those kind of songs and the fentanyl epidemic is sickening.
Starting point is 00:20:05 What's happening in America right now is absolutely sickening. I think it's 14...thank you. I think it's... Thank you. So, I think I heard a statistic that it's 14 people an hour, overdose and a today, I'm that country. But, but, and I think if you think about those numbers alone, it shows me that you heard people here sharing that it has affected every household,
Starting point is 00:20:33 every side of the aisle, everybody in America has been affected by this somewhere or the other, and I think it's time we stand up, do something about it. What would you tell people who were struggling with that addiction? I would tell them that there is hope that my biggest message as actually had, I had my first viral clip Charlotte, man, I don't know if you know it. Come on, I read it. I know you did. You helped it go viral.
Starting point is 00:20:57 And it was, I was talking about how it's so important for us to recognize that our windshield is bigger than our rearview mirror for a reason because what's in front of us is more important than what's behind us that who we were is not who we are. That's right. That's right. You know, a lot of people may not know but I read juicy Jays so I know. You was down with 36 Mafia. Yes sir, their today.

You don't think so? Yeah, right? Yeah, they both talk about bitches. It is 2023, say women. But no, I meant dogs. Oh, you made dogs. I've brought a bunch of songs about my dog. What are you talking?

Starting point is 00:23:32 Listen, it was so ugly, it was cute. It was awesome. And this cat, that's what they used to say about about about about he's fat. But all you gotta do is lose weight and you unlock that hair character. Yeah, sure. Oh yeah, I told me then. I'd be president. You know what I'm saying? That's why God didn't make me skinny.

You're from the south, but I don't know what you all know about a economical shift in the history of East Tennessee. Wow. You wouldn't have cared no severe real Tennessee. I mean it was a map dot is what we call it was a dollon on a map dude. It made a monk's corner look big. Really? What was the population? Yeah I mean, God back then, nothing I mean probably in the early thousands. But she went back to build the the their to build back back back back back back back, to build, to build, to build, to build, to build, to build, their, to build, to build, their, to 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 their their their their their their to to to to to to to to to to to to their se, their se, their se, their se, te, te, te.e.e.e.

Starting point is 00:24:50 She is who I aspire to be, man. That's dope. That's dope. I was reading, um, I was reading a interview that the black kid, the black keys did recently. Yeah, and they said, that that that going to happen. I had to bring it up. And they said in 2010, you thought they were making jokes on you. So you approached them and asked them, did they want to go?
Starting point is 00:25:12 Yeah. They want to fight. Is that true? It is. I'm not embarrassed to say. It's a true. I was fresh out of jail and I was battling those, you know, I mean, I still had those habits with me and I was just a very, very insecure human man. You know what I love to talk about the most about this part of the story, Charlemagne is
Starting point is 00:25:33 the who I was and who I am thing again, right? It's like, man, God softened my heart. Looking back at that kid, I kind of laugh, I got blushing when you brought in when you, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, th. th. th. th. th. th. thused, thi, thi, thi, th th th th th th th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th.

But I just took, you know, I was so entitled and so angry and everything was about me and I thought they were joking and laughing at us because I was used to being, then that kind of a situation. The ego tape you. Yeah, it was all about ego man and I mean, by the way, I love y's incredible. I wish y'all will. You know Patrick Carney recognized it in you though. He said that you seemed angry and you've admitted that like you just did just now. You said you are a broken man. So what made jelly roll hole? Taking the time to love myself. Um, learning to listen to myself, working. You do the work. I do the work. You know we do the work. I do the work. you you you you you you you the work. I the work. I the work. I the work.

Starting point is 00:26:25 I'm an old-school Southern man. I'm just really rooted in my faith and that by belief that, and more than anything, my search for purpose, I quit searching to be happy and I started searching to be useful. And that's when everything changed for me. Because to me, I want that when this is all said and done, the jokes we make will come and go. The two things that will stand Charlemagne is how me and you made people feel. That's right. What music was made. And that's what's important. So I just want to make, I want to lift people up. I tore people down for decades. I just want to list us all of it. Yeah. Yeah. It's interesting. It's what what you you you you. It's interesting. It's interesting. It's interesting. It's interesting. It's interesting. It's interesting. It's interesting. It's interesting. It's interesting. It's interesting. It's interesting. It's interesting what what what what what what what what what.

It'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. I feel the same way, but we got new school resources. So I believe in God and therapy.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Absolutely. For sure, I believe in God and therapy. I believe in the universe. That's right. Hey, listen, if you convinced me that because you're an Aquarius, we get along, I'm in. I'm listening? You know, I love the video you referenced earlier, you know, when you gave the acceptance speech. You recently, it was for new artists of the year at the CMA's, right?
Starting point is 00:27:30 Was that pre-written or did your hip-hop kick in and that was just a freestyle off the top? What was that? It was the old school artists on earth and he deserved it and I was prepared to clap for him was my spirit. In fact I put my hand on his shoulder and said be sure to shout me out and winked at them. But when I walked up there I held this up and I looked up and it said 57, 56, 55 and I said oh boy you ever come to a jelly roll show, and I encourage y'all to buy a ticket. You ever come, if you ever come to a jelly roll show, you'll see that, I called it the Back Road Baptism Tour, because it's like an old southern tent revival a little bit too.
Starting point is 00:28:12 So I do something like that every night on stage. You had% black, 30% white poor people. So it's just, I just, same difference. Southern Baptist stuff, exactly. Yeah, yeah, that line is razor thin right there. That's right. That's right. That's right.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Do you feel pressure to deliver another great acceptance speech after the, is that, man. I'm nominated for a Grammy and I'm just like, dude, I don't, I'm afraid that if I actually won a Grammy Charlemagne, I would just snot rock it the whole time. That would definitely go bire. That would definitely go. And then they have to turn the music on and I'm just weeping like a child. That could be dope though. You could be the new Michael Jollain. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I that's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was that's. I was like. I was th. I was 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. I that's. I that's. I that I that I that I that I that I that's.

But you said you don't feel like you deserve either one.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Why is that? You still dealing with, like, Imposter Syndrome? I'm working through that too, because it's like, and also I just, I'm really struggling with, I've been killing the ego is a big part of me becoming a better person and then you're in a situation where it's a lot of me I I mean me me me so I'm always trying to fight that battle too of just like just ground myself in humility and also respect people's art dude Noah Knoa Kahn is unbelievable you know what I mean like he's unbelievable right clearly I know y'all didn't vote for me but it's I would I would have voted for him for to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to vote to to to to to to to to to to the to to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the to the to the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to the to to the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to the the the 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 the the the the the the the te. try.
