Listen to On Fire the official Survivor podcast starting September 18th 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. I'm Jesse Leidick.

We've got so much good news for you tonight. Women's sports are now the best sports. Michael Costa tries to get out of a speeding ticket and Donald Trump has found an entirely new way to lose money. So let's get into the headline. Let's kick things off with some news from the business world. Last week Donald Trump's social media platform Truth Social went public with a value of eight billion dollars. Mm-hmm, which seemed like a lot for a website whose business model is, what if

Twitter was just Nazis. And guess what? Turns out it was. Tonight's stock in Donald Trump's media company tanking after Trump's social media platform Truth Social reported losing 58 million dollars last year. The company was valued at nearly 10 billion dollars after it went public last week as Trump supporters rushed to scoop up shares. Truth Social is doing very well. It's hot as a pistol and doing great. But today that root a today the tu turn turn turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned turned 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 to to to to to to to to to the very well. It's hot as a pistol and doing great. But today that root awakening, the revelation of last year's losses sent the stock plunging more than 20% and the value of Trump's own stake losing more than a billion

dollars. Yeah Trump you lost a billion dollars yesterday. Now you're only worth six billion dollars yesterday. Now you're only worth six billion dollars, you broke bitch. Oh. We got them, finally. Now, there's a bit of a disagreement over why the stock dropped so much. Analysts say it's because of huge losses in limited market upside, while Trump advisors argue it's because of woe gay, trans, DEI, Hunter Biden's laptops. So, who's to say?

At this point, it just seems like Trump is trying to be in every section of the newspaper, finance, politics, style, city crime. It's only a matter of time until he drops a theater review. Just a wicked total witchy. Let's move on to the fight. Yeah, you can clap for that, yes. Ah, Trump. Let's move on to the fight over abortion rights, where today Florida handed us a mixed bag. Now to Florida where the state Supreme Court just issued two major rulings on abortion rights. Two major decisions, the Florida State Supreme Court has now cleared the way for one of the strictest abortion vans in the nation to go into effect. It bans abortion at just

six weeks into pregnancy. But at the same time, that same state Supreme Court also allowing this issue to be on the ballot in November, allowing Florida voters to decide whether they want to protect access to abortion up until viability, which is considered to be around 24 weeks into pregnancy. Florida, what is going on here? You're restricting abortion, but you're also putting it on the ballot? Pick a lane! These are some crazy mood swings. You better hope you're not pregnant. Look, a six-week abortion ban is obviously a terrible setback for women's rights, but there is a small glimmer of hope and that the voters also have a chance to legalize abortion again,

which is good news, and also depressing ize abortion again, which is good news. And also depressing to be celebrating that as good news. But in this climate, I guess that's where we're at right now. I don't know whether I'm happy or not. I feel like Ron DeSantis's face. Yeah. Yeah. But hey, at least abortion is on the ballot.

Finally, the people of Florida will be able to choose something besides community service or jail time. And that is something. Let's move on to sports. We're in the final stretch of March Madness, that special time of year that turns every office into an underground gambling ring. And last night, all eyes were on a rematch between two of the biggest stars in the tournament. In goat fashion, Caitlin Clark led Iowa over defending champion LSU in a rematch of last year's final. For anyone who questioned her greatness.

Caitlin Clark had the answer. 41 points, 9-3s, 12 assists, a record-breaking masterpiece that lived up to the hype of a rematch in an epic battle of greats. Clark steps back, fires, you bet! Oh my, from Schenectady! She's simply ridiculous. She's possessed. This poor announcer, Caitlin Clark, hit so many big shots that the guy was clearly running out of things to say. She's ridiculous. She's possessed. She's a witch. Drowner. I don't know. But honestly, honestly, what an awesome rivalry. But honestly, what an awesome rivalry. She's a witch, drowner! I don't know.

But honestly, honestly, what an awesome rivalry. Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, two fierce competitors playing their hearts out, captivating the nation while they're still in college. My biggest accomplishment in college was getting a single dorm because of my IBS. Hey, if there was a sock on the door, it was an especially bad night. Point is, it feels like women's basketball is having a moment this year, and you can tell by how much the media can't stop talking about how they're talking about it. What a great thing for women's sports that we care. We're talking about it tonight on CNN because people are caring and ultimately that is

good we care. The fact that we're talking about women's basketball and any women's sports in general. I mean this is really great. I'm freaking love it. It's really great. I've done this for 32 years. I've never once spent five minutes of any show I've ever done anywhere toa tod. 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 to their because because because to to to to their because to be their their because because to be to their because their because because their their their because because because their their their people their people their people their people their because because their their their because their because their their their because their their. I their. I their. I their. I their. I their. I their. I their. I've done this for 32 years. I've never once spent five minutes of any show I've ever done anywhere talking about a great women's game last night at any level. Okay, that might say more about you, but we'll take the win. We'll take it. That's right. People are excited about women's basketball right now. They're discovering it like it's the first time your mom tried sushi. Oh my God, have you heard about this? Spread the word!

But everyone is raving, everyone. Even Shaquille O'Neal said women's basketball this year is a better game than men's basketball. Yeah. Yeah, and he's like, the most famous men's basketball. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he's like the most famous men's basketball player. That's like Chef Boy R.D. telling you he only eats SpaghettiOs now. Spaghettios. Spaghettios.

The official food of clinical depression. Spaghettios, wanna hurt an Italian person's feelings? Try Spaghettios. One more. Spaghettios, you don't have to love your kids. Anyway, think about how far women's basketball has come. Ten years ago, if you went to a bar on a Monday night to watch women's basketball, it was because you were an alcoholic. But today, if you're at a bar on a Monday night, it's because you're an alcoholic who also wants to watch women's basketball.

That is progress. So this has been a hugely successful college tournament for the women, even despite some obstacles. In the women's tournament, controversy is brewing after four games were played on a court in Portland, Oregon, where the three-point line was about six inches closer to the hoop on one side. The error was discovered before North Carolina played Texas in the elite eight. Both teams' coaches decided to go ahead with the game to not delay the tournament. Okay, I really relate to this as a woman.

It is so classic for someone else to fuck up. And we're like, oh oh the line is messed up It's fine. We'll just go ahead and play four games you can fix it later or not whatever. I'm sorry Yeah But what exactly happened with the three-point line to get more on this, we go live to Josh Johnson at the arena. Josh, what happened down there? The line was several inches too short. That's a huge error.

Well, Desi, I talked to the director of court maintenance who made the mistake, as well as several other men who were just around. and we all agreed that your length being a few inches shorter than everyone was expecting is no big deal. No story here, not true. Having the line be that short makes an enormous difference. Enormous is a little mean. Plus it's not about the length of the line. It's about how you play the game. Okay? And I think we could all agree. It was a pretty good game, you know?

It's good for me. I enjoyed it. And as far as the difference, the women didn't even notice. All right? Josh, even if the women said they didn't notice, trust me, they always noticed. Okay. Okay, but let's give this line guy a break.

Because when I talked to him, he swore this had never happened before, okay? And we don't even know why it was too short. Maybe it was his first time, okay? Maybe it been drinking, all right? Maybe the arena was cold. So, how does being cold make a difference? It just does, okay? Wow, you seem pretty worked up about this. Why don't we 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 tho tho tho tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, that, that, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. this. Why don't we move past the length

of the line? Thank you. Let's talk about the curve, because the curve was weird. All right, Desi, I'm out. This is why I only play basketball by myself, okay? Josh, Josh, Josh, what did he say? Josh Johnson, everybody. When we come back, we'll discover the hero that New York doesn't want but needs. So don't go ahead. The future of America is in your hands. This is not a movie trailer and it's not a political ad, but it is a call to action. I'm Mila Atmos and I'm passionate about unlocking the power of everyday citizens. On our podcast, future hindsight, we take big ideas about civic life and democracy and turn them into action items for you and me.

Last week, New York City introduced the first congestion pricing plan in the country, and there's one local who's set on making sure New Yorkers pay their fines. Our own Michael Costa cut up with him in another installment of Thank Me Later. Hi, I'm Michael Costa. License plates.

They help track traffic violators. But what happens when shifty citizens purposely cover them up? Oh, sorry. Tonight on Thank me later, we'll meet one man who's dedicated his life to ensure that New Yorkers are being held accountable for traffic violations. I went on a bike along with this snitch-a-lanty to investigate, and you, ha, can thank me later. Communities cheated out of improvements to roads, bridges, and other infrastructure because of people covering up their license plates.

When it goes through the camera system, we can't pick it up. Officials say these scofflaws cost the city more than $100 million every year. That's right. Some New York drivers have started obscuring their plates by partially covering them. These are called ghost plates, and one man is taking it upon himself to bust these ghosts. Plates. Hey, it's Gersk Kunstunstman still on the criminal mischief beat. I'm going to dedicate today to illegal covered license plates. We got a guy with a DA placard, I'll show you that in a minute. And a cover.

So what even incentivize this genuine New York freak to make this his life's mission? I caught him in one of the hottest zones for ghost plates, lower, to, to, to, to, to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, to, and to, to, their, to, their, their, their, to, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the the the the the their, is a their, their, their, their, their, their, their, toe.e.ean, too.eat, toeat, toe.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e. I's toe. I's toe, the zones for ghost plates, lower Manhattan. The issue is if you're driving around and you're speeding, and you're doing it with a covered plate, you're never gonna get the ticket and you're never even gonna realize how badly you're driving. I want to make sure the person gets all the tickets to which he's entitled. What do you say to your critics who say he's a snitch, he's a loser, he doesn't have a life, a hobby, a family, a job, he doesn't have friends or a social life.

What do you say to those people? I'm not trying to get people tickets. What I'm trying to do is show the people who are trying to get people tickets that their system is broken. We're in New York City on these ghost plates. The vast majority of the people I've caught defacing or covering their plates are cops or firefighters or court officers. I've done about 120 of these videos in the past three months and I'd say about 70 of them were law enforcement officials.

The very people who shouldn't be breaking the law are finding a way to break the law by, then speeding. You're getting more cops, tickets for speeding. Give me some. That's fucking awesome. And there's not, the goal is not to be an asshole. Isn't it the goal is to be a little bit of an asshole? When does it end? And does that mean you're in a ditch somewhere with a couple NYPDE? 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 thi thi thi thi thi thi th- th- th- th- thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi that's thi thi, thi- thi-a thi-a thi-a thi-a thi-a thi-a thi-a thi-a thi-a thi-a thi-a thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to to to to to to to to to tooooooooooooooooooooooooo-s is is too-s. to-s. to-s. to-s. t-s. tha-s. tha-s is thae is that I want that. I mean, they would beg a great story. I actually see two heroes here. Yeah.

I see you. Thank you. Who is putting your life on the line? More or less. Enforcing law enforcement. And then I see another hero here, and that's me. And then I see another here, and that's me. And that. You can thank me later. I'll thank you right now. That's not what the second's call.

Gersh took me on a bike along through Lower Manhattan to catch some ghostplates and action. After only a minute of biking, we hit our first offender. This is a great one. Is this normal wear and tear? And the answer is obviously no. this, regardless of where we are, I mean, we're literally within inches of a police officer. I mean, I'm nervous right now. You're nervous. Why? We're in a private cop lot. Yeah. And it's okay, go ahead. Well, hey, it's Kurtzman. This one is just so defaced. I couldn't resist. I want him to get all the tickets he deserves. So Ito the officer, because we are in police parking, I'll also do the New York. The plate cover is illegal.

You can see it, but if you're a speed camera, which shoots it like this angle at night, these covers are illegal for that reason. I'll probably just pull out my screwdriver and do what I do best. Okay. I'll just take the illegal cover, and I'll just leave that on the front of the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to, to, the the the car to show that you're not stealing it. Yeah, and I don't steal anything, and then we more or less get out of here. And then we more or less get out of here, bye. This is now the third time I've caught this guy. Are you serious?

Yeah, same cop. You've been here before. Oh yeah, actually twice. important part of being a pest. Yeah. In actual, in ways to actually get shit done and to get people to respond to you, you have to be fucking annoying. About a bit of an asshole. Yeah. And this is the third time you've got this car. Third time. And you're being fucking annoying to it. After a grueling day of catching ghost plates and meeting fans.

I'm Ronnie Chang. I had to recognize all the great work Gersh was doing for the New York community. Has anybody ever given you a thank you card, a trophy, a plaque, a certificate for the

public service you're doing? That'd be ridiculous. No one's done that. Well, that's going to change today.

My guest tonight represents Texas's 32nd district and is running for the Senate against America's sweetheart Ted Cruz.

Please welcome Representative Colin Allred. How you doing? I'm doing well. How are you? I'm doing great. Welcome to the show. Yeah, this is great. It's different from what I usually do. Yeah, they're fun, right?

You guys are a little better than the house right now. Just slightly. That's, I mean, that's not saying a lot. That's keeping the bar pretty low. You have such an interesting resume. You're a former NFL player, civil rights, yeah, civil rights attorney, congressman, and now currently running against Ted Cruz. For this point,

Yeah. In Texas, as a Democrat, which is a bit of an uphill battle, right now you're currently pulling at six points behind. Does it make it worse that you're lagging behind Ted Cruz of all people? No, listen, I'm confident that on November 5th, that Texans are going to come out and show who we really are. And I think we've had enough of 12 years of having an embarrassment, one of the most divisive senators in the country. If somebody who I think fundamentally doesn't appreciate who we really are as Texans, I'm

a fourth generation Texan. I was raised by a single mom in Dallas, you know, you mentioned what I've been able to do that because I had a lot of help from my community, from my state. I want to make sure that I we can have somebody who actually cares about us in the Senate. That's what the most embarrassing thing about Ted Cruz. Is it that he fled to Cancun while Texas doesn't have to be embarrassed by the most embarrassing thing about Ted Cruz? Is it that he fled to Cancun while Texans were in the dark and cold? Or that time that he didn't feel the booger on his lip for so long?

Burned in my memory. You know, I think there's the antics, right? There's like the reading Green Angs and Ham on the Senate floor while you're trying to take health care away from 40 million people and stuff like that. There's the fact that he podcast three times a week which is a lot. Yeah that's a lot. That's a lot. You know when you had that little rolly bag when he's coming back from Cancun. Oh yes. You know it's frustrating going through those little rope lines at any time when you're going through it alone to explain why you abandon your state during a statewide crisis. That was really embarrassing. That's the topper. That was the topper. You're a father of two and you were

one of the first members of Congress to take paternity leave. First of all thank you for your service. And secondly, why is that so rare? Wow. First of all, thank you for your service. And secondly, why is that so rare among your colleagues? Yeah, yeah. Well, I didn't know that I was going to be the first when I did it. I thought that it was just a normal thing to do. You think? And I grew up and I know my father.

And so for me, I knew that when we had kids, that I was going to do it right. And that starts at the beginning. And there's so much... We've learned a lot. There are so many benefits for when men take leave in those early days. It's better for the men themselves, for their spouses, for their kids. And this is not available to every American. And I want to make sure that it is. And so that's one of the things I've been working for a lot.

Because, you and I both know that those early days are tough. And when you're welcoming, you know, your bundle of joy is also coming with a whole lot of other things that are changing your life. And, you know, I don't think it's right that we we we we are we are that we are that we are that we are that we are that we are that we are that we are that we are that we're that we're that we're don't think it's right that we're the only major developed country in the world that doesn't have a national pay-leaf policy. I do not agree more. Texas was one of the first states to criminalize abortion. What would be your plans to protect and restore women's reproductive rights? As you mentioned, my wife and I, we've had two boys in Dallas in the last five years,

and I went to every ultrasound appointment, every genetic testing. You know, those rooms, when you're having those conversations with your doctor, they're too small to have somebody like Ted Cruz in there with you. Oh! Oh my gosh. What's happening in Texas is really, it's a tragedy. We've had 26,000 women who've had to get birth to their rapist child since these laws went into place.

We've had stories like, you know, Kate Cox, so it was a mother of two, who had a much one and third pregnancy. She had to go to the emergency room four times. Her doctor said, she said, '' abortion and she asked her state, can I have it close to home because I have a one and a three-year-old at home. They said no, and they didn't just say no, it's if you do this, we're going to prosecute you, your doctor, your hospital. We have counties saying you can't drive to the county if you're going to use the roads to access an abortion. I mean, that doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't that doesn't that doesn't th doesn't tho o o o o one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one the o' thoom. thi. the one one thoom, tho. tho. the tho the tho tho tho tho tho tho 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 thi thi. the thi. thi. thi the. And the. And the. And the. the an theanan. they they they they they they they they they they they theanan. they the an the. And the. And so, to me,

the only way that we can restore this right to Texas women and families is at the federal level by codifying Roe v. Wade. And I'm listening to it for you to flip the seat. Voter turnout is going to be critical for you to flip the seat. It's been estimated that 9.5 million registered voters didn't vote in the last election. How will you encourage Texans to get out and vote and does it rhyme with Schmoshmorsion? As you mentioned, I was a civil rights lawyer, but I was a

voting rights lawyer specifically before I ran for Congress. To me, there's nothing more important than getting, you know, Texans and our fellow Americans engaged in our democracy. And in Texas, we make it way too difficult to vote. But I want folks to know, there's a reason why they're trying to make it harder for you to vote. Why are they trying to take your voice away? Why are they trying so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard to make so hard to make so hard to make so hard to make so hard to make to make to make it to make to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it's a to make it's a to make it's a to make it's a to make it's a to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it to make it's to make it's to make it's to make it's to make it to make it to make it to make it to the the the the the the the the the the the the to to the the to to the the to the the to t. Don't let them do it, right? And to our young people, you know, it's like one of these things where you wouldn't let your grandparents pick your playlist for the next six years. I want to pick your senator, right? You know, so.

So, I mean, I think it's also true that we have to talk about what's at stake. To me in Texas what's at stake is our fundamental freedoms. They've taken away a woman's right to choose the ability to make your own decisions about your body, they're banning books, they're kicking kids out of school because of their hairstyle. I mean to me this is fundamentally about who we are as Texans and as Americans and we have to restore freedom in tacres and th. and th. and th. and th. and th. and th. And th. And th. And th th. And th. And th. And th. th. th. th. thus thoes th. thoes thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, their their thoes, thoes, their to be 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 thauu. thau. toea. thauoomoomorrow, toeou. toeou. toease. toeou. toe, toe, their the I think folks are going to come out and send up for that. You serve on the Foreign Affairs Committee. We just recently found out that seven aid workers were killed in Gaza due to Israel airstrikes. Does that give you any hesitation to providing Israel with bombs? Listen, this is a horrible tragedy. And these folks were there to feed, uh, their today the and these folks were 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 and the and the the and the and the the and the and the, the, and the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the an the an the an the an the an the an the an the an the an the an the an theanan, thean, thean, and thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, the and, to providing Israel with bombs? Listen, this is a horrible tragedy. And these folks were there to feed folks who are suffering from famine extreme conditions.

They've done it around the world. And to me, it's an incredibly noble venture that they're engaged in to try and make sure that we can combat these conditions. And you know, as I see it, October 7th was a tragedy, and the response in many ways has been incredibly difficult to deal with. Our role, I think, has to be to try and ensure that we have, as we're negotiating for an extended ceasefire, that we have these hostages come home and that we find a way forward in which there's two states existing peacefully next to each other. And that has that has that has that has th has th has th has th has th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho th and we can th and we can th and we can th and we can th and we can th and we can th and we can th and we can th and we can th and we can th and we can th and we can tho tho tho tho tho tho that the the the the to the to thean thean thean thean thean thean thean that that that that that that forward in which there's two states existing peacefully next to each other.

And that has to be our name Go. And we've had, you know, this has been our policy for some time, but in some ways I think it had drifted away. And in a strange way, I think this has highlighted the need that we come back to this. We make sure that we have a peaceful and independent Palestinian state next to a stable-s, theeee, the, the, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and a the, and, and a the, anda, anda, anda, anda, anda, anda, anda, anda, and a, anda, anda, anda, anda, and a, and a, and a, and a, and a, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, anda, anda, anda, anda, anda, anda, anda, anda, is is.
