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. Hey there, this is Desi Leidic. The Daily Show is on break this week. I know, I know, but don't worry. We picked some of our favorite recent moments from the show in case you miss them.

We'll be back with brand new shows next week, but until then, enjoy today's episode. Four years ago, America was inspired by an uplifting slogan. Yes, we can. Later turned into an insufferable pop song. Yes we can. This year the slogan is forward, which sounds like the kind of thing that Matthew Broderick shouted at his soldiers in glory before they were shot to pieces. The Democrat clearly needed help. Let's think of a punchy slogan, you can slap on a bumper sticker and that will make everyone excited for the four years ahead. So he didn't create this he inherited this. I don't. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the th. the the th. the the th. the th. the the thi thi the the thi the the the the the the the the the the slogan. the slogan. the slogan. thi the slogan the slogan. the slogan th. Yes the slogan the slogan the slogan the slogan the slogan the slogan the slogan the slogan. the slogan the slogan. the slogan the slogan the slogan the slogan the slogan the slogan the slogan the slogan the slogan the slogan the slogan the slogan the slogan the slogan. the slogan the slogan. Let the slogan. Let the slogan. Let th. Let th. Let th. Let th. Let th. Let th. Let's th. Let's th. Let's th. Let's th. Let's th. Let's th. Let's th. Let's the the the the the the the the the the the s. Let's the the the the the the s. Let's th. Let's th. that will make everyone excited for the four years ahead.

So, so he didn't create this, he inherited this. I don't hate it, but I definitely don't like it. I'm looking for a three-word slogan. Moving on up. Moving on up. We still have trials and tripulations and we're going to get through them. Do you know what a slogan is? Nobody's perfect. Nobody's perfect.

That's not bad. It's pretty bad. I feel worse than I did when we started this conversation. Well, I do apologize. That's not bad. I do apologize. Oh, I'm saying that. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. He's trying the best that he can. Right. He's trying the best the best the best thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi 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 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 that's that that that that that that's that's that's that's that that that's that that tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha that that that that that that that that that that, okay. I don't want to put her sticker. Oh, okay. He's trying the best that he can. Right. He's trying the best that he can. That's a pretty good slogan.

Obama 2012, he's trying the best that he can. He's trying the best that he can. He's trying the best that he can. He's trying the best that he can. Best that he can. I think that he's been blocked by Congress. I think, I really believe that there has been no compromise there. He's trying the best that he can. I don't love it, and I do hate it. So anything better?

It's just taken longer to have the president re-elected job? Oh, absolutely. Would you mind telling your face, voice, and personality about that excitement? Sure, I'm real excited. It's difficult to be president. It's difficult to be president. It is a very difficult job being a president of the United States. You're responsible for the entire country.

S-Cond. Um, slogan needs to be, uh... He doesn't know. It's difficult to be president. It's so difficult. I told you it was not a good slogan. It's a terrible slogan. There are no bad ideas at this point. Slogan for future, go.

Let us do it. Let us do it. Okay, so that's the bar that we're working from. So I'm looking for a slogan, what do you got? Yes we can. Yes we can. Yes we can is 2008. It's an old t-shirt you're wearing. What do you got now? Yes we can, but we need to...

Wait, that, that was it. Say that again. Yes we can. But. Yes, we can, but. The European debt crisis is completely out of his control. No way it's not his fault. Yes, we can, but.

He inherited it crap. I mean, I mean, Bush was terrible. Yes, we can, but. With three words and an extra word that will ring from coast to coast from sea to shining... But. But. But. But. But. But. But to s. But. But to s. But to s. But. But. But to s. But to s. Yes. Yes. But to s. Yes. Yes.

But to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thea. But thea. But three words and an extra word. That will ring from coast to coast from sea to shining. Sing, yes we can. But, yes we can. But, yes we can. But, yes we can, but, but, bap, but, buh, forward. right. In Denver, there's only one question on every ridiculously dressed pundits mind.

Will the Clinton forces and the Obama forces unite? Can the Democratic Party truly come together? We sat down with a diverse group of Democrats to find out. We're unified, then the fact that we don't want Obama to become our next president. I will not work for Senator Barack Hussein Obama. Apparently the Clinton supporters the United, and they've got the websites to prove it. Clinton's for McCain.com. Higher Heals.com.

It stands for party unity in my ass. Did you consider the F that guy dot com? It's taken. And we looked at a few names similar to that, but they were taken. They had their reasons and an unassailable logic. The DNC has betrayed us as Democrats. There was an abundance of fraud. Florida and Michigan was completely unfair.

Exactly. It's not like she ever agreed to exclude the vote in Florida, Michigan. She didn't agree to that. Except in 2007 when she did agree to it, but that was before she needed the vote. No one is not. Stop, the game is still on. She did not lose. I couldn't help but feel for them. I am tired of being called a racist just because I disagree with them. Oh, you didn't vote for my candidate. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. th. th. th. to. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. toe. tho. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. tho. toe. 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. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. the. the. me a break. That's lazy. Give me a better one. So what explains what happened in the primary? The media created a dialogue that was truly sexist against Senator Clinton. Her gender was always made to be the main issue at hand.

Clearly these people needed healing. I spoke with child psychologist Wendy Ludlow. That's cheating. You see the hurt. Sometimes children just aren't group-bredic. They need a little individual support to develop to develop 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 their their their their their their. The media. The media. The media. The media. The media. The media. The media. The media. The media. The media. The media. The media. The media. The media. The media. The media. The media. The media. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their you see the hurting? Yeah. Sometimes children just aren't group-bredding. They need a little individual support to develop their pro-social skills and behaviors. I've found suffering Clinton supporters who are only too happy to be helped. I've brought them to the celestial seasonings post-primary human center. And here we have Dan, who's doing a picture of what the, what the, what the f- is that done? The man's stealing the election. The man's stealing the election. Do you feel less angry than you were this morning? No.

We use play therapy techniques to help kids develop coping thoughts such as I can keep my hands to myself. When I feel mad, I stop my feet. When I feel mad, I stop my feet. When I get upset, I shake my fists in the air. And then I feel better and I stop acting like such a bitch. Okay? What do you do now? I don't like to use the naughty corner for kids. Okay, girls, this is the naughty comman.

That's right. Who's been nice. No, I can't be a Jones. That's not what we agreed on. We're gonna... Come on, man. It's weird, Jones. Some play therapists do use animals in their play.

That can be a great way to help people learn how to keep calm. Oh, hi Terbal, he's so sweet, yeah, don't you? Go get him, Terrible, get him. Get him. Oh, how was it? Did we get it? Can we do it again? Sure, no problem. She's good. Sam!

Mars, let's go! Yes, with the proper approach, party unity is within reach. Pennsylvania Democrats passed a new law, but not some boring policy shit. They cooked up a loophole to push last call to 4 a.m. Not for everybody, though, just the D.N.C. delegates. Good times. I have two beers. Two beers. Yeah, twice as much privilege.

Yes. Double up on the privilege. All right. What about the people who can't get in? Have to stop drinking at two. F. I'm all. Queens Democrats was getting toe up till four in the morning morning thoom. thoom. tho tho tho th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the to to to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the to, to, to, to, to, th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the th. the the th. th. the the th. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. thea. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too up till 4 in the morning and we were getting stuff done according to my main man, Pennsylvania Senator, Bob Casey. You do a lot of networking. For example, someone just bought me this beer and I'm going to network with that person.

Okay, let's roll play. You be you. Okay. Now, I be another senator. I want to be a Republican from Alaska. Why there? Because there ain't no black people. Okay. the people. the people. the people. the people. Because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because the the the the the the the the the the the the the they, because, because they. they they, because they, because they, because, because, because the the the the the the they, they, they, they, they, they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. the. th. th. th. the. th. to the.

And I love you too. I'm from Alaska. Okay cool. It's good networking with you. Good time. Yes, this exemption is hypocritical as hell, man.

But I discovered you can't keep the good people of Philly down? I always drink past 2 though. I just drink, I don't worry about the laws, you know what I mean? I understand. I'm gonna be drunk as hell, broo, I'm gonna be drinking right there. You're drinking in a garage. You politicians have your loopholes. The people of Philly have theirs, even if it is in a creepy-ass garage.

Thank you so much, Roy. Thank you so much. Now, Ronnie Chang, it's his first time in Philly, and he also took to the streets after I asked him to investigate the scene in Philadelphia. Yeah, you did send me to investigate, Trevor. But it was 99 degrees out, and after 10 minutes, the only thing I wanted to investigate was a cold drink. Can I get some ice water, ice?

Ice? No, you don't get it. I wai ice water. Well, there's a store for that. Yeah, this is the store for that. No, we sell water ice. Yeah, why do you have a sign that says ice water? Because it's a Philly thing. It's frozen dessert.

It's water ice. Listen, buddy, we can call it a dicker. It's not hard. It's four flavors. Okay, can you give me cherry without the cherry? I'm not a fucking scientist. I cannot take the flavor out of the water ruses. You get it and how I give it to you. What the fuck is your problem, man? Listen, you're way out of your fucking league here, but what are you going to do about it? You, fuck you, man. Try it. If I don't like it, I don't like it, I'll 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 try. try. try. try. the the the the the fa. the the the fa. the fa. the fa. the fa. the fa. the fa. the fa. the fa. the fa. the fa. the fa. the fa. the fa. the fa. the f. the f. the f. the f. the f. the f. the f. the f. the f. the f. the f. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try try try try try try try it the try try. try, but if I don't like it, we'll come back and kick your fucking out. That's it, let's go, buddy. I'm always ready. That's actually really good. Man, thank you.

Family recipe, 1945. Can I get like a large cherry? Yeah, cool. Thanks to the today. Yeah, take care. Yeah, take the security perimeter and next to the Jambadu stand. You ready to heal?

Really, I want to watch this. Can you back off? Let's just heal together. Seriously. Are you ready to heal? Are you ready to heal? Are you ready to heal? Are you ready to heal? Are we going to heal? Come on, all right, don't move.

Are you going to heal? Barack Obama and Joe Biden, God bless you and God's speed. Hillary supporters, did you heal tonight? Just 45 minutes ago, these people couldn't walk. We heal! We heal. They said she couldn't do it, but she might have done it pending tomorrow's press narrative. The speech was amazing. It brought people together.

How do you feel? Not great, actually. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? I don't think we can use a bandaid to cover this wound at this point. Let me get this st sta this sta this sta this sta the the the the the to cover this wound at this point. Let me get this straight. You don't think we've healed. I don't think we've healed. I think if you look at a circumstance like what happened in Nevada where Hillary Clinton won the state and that's not the kind of, you know, the politics, new politics, anything that anybody should condone. Are you all right? You're gonna be sick? Why do we have to fight? Oh, let this this this this this this to to fight to fight? this to fight? this to fight? Why this to fight? Why this to fight? Why, thah? Why, thah? Why, to fight? Why, to to fight? Why, to to fight? Why, to to to to to to to fight? Why, to fight? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

Like hopeful cattle, they spill out into the night. Onward into a bright future and inevitable defeat in November. John Stewart here. Unbelievably exciting news. My new podcast, The Weekly Show. We're going to be talking about the election, economics, ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. Listen to the weekly show that's just not in dispute.

We are the Big Ten party. We represent everyone. We're definitely the Arms Wide Open Party. We have the Party of Inclusion. We have just about everybody you can possibly imagine in the party. Yes, they were open to everybody. Basically, we're Latinos, Hispanics, we're blacks, we're the LGBT community, we're women, we're poor. Everyone's welcome.

Everyone's welcome. Except, unless you own a corporation or if you're a hunter, a gun owner, white males. Really all, you don't want to lose all the white males? There are a bunch of gun tote and hillbilly tea partiers, that's all I have to say. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Right. A bunch of jerkoffs, right? Definitely. Uh, how open are you?

Well, open enough to include everybody. Oh, really? Who wouldn't you include? We wouldn't include those beer toaten fakers down in Florida, the Tampa convention guys. You know the types. belly. Church going. Small minded. Anti-science. A bunch of semity, Sam Hillbilly. Wack job, evangelical, gunnuts. They don't want to hear a message of difference and of hope. What can you and I teach these whack jobs about inclusion? You go first. You can't teach them anything. Don't have a clue about science. Very questionable on any kind of thought that involves more than two or three sentences. We are the big tentent tent tent tent tent tent tent tent tent tent tent tent tent tent te te te te te te te te te to to to to to to to to to the the the the their the. 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 their their their the. the. the. the. the. the. te. tean. teate. te. te. te. thean. thean. thean. thean. their their their their their involves more than two or three sentences.

We are the Big Ten Party and we will let most anybody in unless of course they're carrying guns. Right. Who needs that 146 million people in your party? The Democratic Party, we don't stereotype, we don't generalize. The teabagers generalized because they're very narrow-minded people. Right. This has been historically the party of tolerance. The tea baggers are the least tolerant group I have ever seen and they're destroying us.

Can you say that more dismissively? Ugh. How's that? I've always called them Nazis and evil, even before it was appropriate, actually. These Christian evangelicals don't get it because I don't believe they ever actually read the Bible. I have a feeling they have read it. Well, possibly, but didn't grass. This is so inclusive. You know, we even invite their redneck freaks in. We don't judge.

What don't they get about the tolerance? I would never call a redneck and name. I don't know, I'm thinking like a couple of teeth, you know, hair out of place, maybe a nice gut. Okay, like, woo! Woo! Yeah, we're gonna go down to Tampa. We're gonna throw a big party. I'm gonna put on my clean t-shirt and brush my tooth. Let's go!

Poo! Poo! Poo! Poo! Poo! The world would be very beautiful if we could just accept everybody's differences. Exactly.

Accept everyone's differences. Mm-hmm. Everyone's differences. Yeah. We need to accept everyone. You mean I should accept them? Is that what you're saying? The conventions are in full swing. And the race is on to see who's going to win the news war. We have the best political team on television here.

And the best political coverage anywhere. The best political team in the business. Maybe the 24-hour snooze networks haven't heard that the DS was in town. Time to introduce these fools to the new Alpha Dove. Have a taste, Cooper, because we own this convention, and you and all your boys are fresh meat. Look down on my news, ye mighty, and despair! I will now sign autographs. What are you a delegate? No, I'm a guest.

Oh, what kind of guest? Special guest. Oh, tho'go'gues. Oh, yeah. to be very proud of you. Yes. Yeah. Oh, yay!

to be very proud of yourself, Eddie. What do you look forward to not accomplishing this year in Congress? What kind of question check? If you saw a fellow delegate littering or doing something that was not very green, how would you handle it? Well, I would stop them and ask them to pick it up. That sounds like a Democrat to me. Yes. Demonstration. Demo. I don't feel like recycling this ass-feebid. Pick it up, please. Fuck you.

Pick it up, please. Suck my f- You're gonna ask me a question? I thought you were gonna ask me a question. Obama delegate from the state of Michigan? You know what, this is boring. I don't want to talk to this turd. Hey, Sam, losers are part of this convention too. Shut up, do so just. Oh, Sam, are we really want to go around through this?

Hey, ladies and gentlemen, I'm old, I don't... You're going to answer that? You thought I wanted to ask you a question. Why in the hell would I want to ask you a question? Hi. What's that? What's that? You have a credential? I'm with BBC. You're with BBC? Well I'm British, so I think I'm allowed to know I'm British. You don't need a credential to be British. My voice is my credential. Listen to this, aluminium.

Let me in. Now the question is whether Hillary Clinton supporters. This is, I'm telling you, my voice is my credential. Oh, you're kidding me. Oh, you are kidding me. You're kidding me. Means reducing the democratic population. All right, you're ready for us now? No, I'm not ready for you. Out! Question number one. Don't blow this. Don't blow this. Don't blow this interview. I'll blow you. Will you blow him?

You're going to blow him? You're going to blow in? You see this. Yeah, it looks pretty good. I'll be taking that. I want some more by 3.30, you got me? Oh, yeah. We're not just reporting the news. We are the news.

Oh, oh my, oh my, oh, yeah. Yeah, that's what I call an AC 360. Because that's how we roll, son. This week's Democratic Convention became the center of the media universe, a universe ruled by television. Is there anything that you would like to say to our audience of infidels? Uh, who'd you have to f-to get in here? Tons of people. But there were other forms of mediaidels? Who do you have to get in here? Tons of people.

But there were other forms of media too. Like newspapers. Bob Woodward. Kind of a dick? No, great guy. Let's pretend the camera's not running. Woodward's kind of a dick. Woodward is somebody who knows how to get people to talk.

He also knows the people... I know that's like that, Dix. He's a dick. What's the deal with Ziggy? Yeah. I mean, it's Tom Wilson just phoning it in these days or what? I don't know. We never make up stuff. Wasn't there a guy who made up a bunch of stuff? Well, we're going to talk about Jason Blair.

When you were a kid to to to to to to to to to the to the to the radio talk show host? No. You want me to turn down the volume? I don't know, maybe your equipment's acting up. It could be. Your mouth is what we know. They like the cold us. Yeah. We just, that's much better. Is it? Yeah.
