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, Sean Stewart. Hi everybody, welcome! My name is John Stewart. Let me tell you. Hi, everybody. Welcome. Hello, and welcome to the show. My name is John Stewart. Let me tell you, we got a fantastic show for you tonight. We're going to do our program later on in the program.

We're going to be talking to comedian, writer, director, auteur, Moe Amher. That's coming up in a bit. Very excited about that. But first, if I could have just a moment of your time. Has that ever happened a bit? Very excited about that. But first, if I could have just a moment of your time. Let's talk about America's Lord and Savior. Donald Jehoshaphat for Trump. They're not booing, they're saying Bruce for no apparent reason.

When Trump ran for president, he had an urgent message about the state of our country. Our country is being lost. We're a failing nation. We are a nation in decline. We have to fight for our country and we have to fight like we've never fought before. It's like we're a giant garbage can. How dare you? can. How dare you!

If anything, America is a recycling bin. Useless and made almost entirely of plastic. But that's it. We have to fight to save our country. And now daddy's home. And he's about to take out the trash. And two weeks into the Trump presidency, we have a better sense of the evil and powerful forces

that have been dragging our once great nation into decline. The Trump administration removed transgender references from federal government websites. It now reads, L-G-B instead of L-G-B-T. They have no idea the damage T was doing to our nation. Consonants! Because I think you'll agree with me, there is no tea in USA. If you spell it out, obviously that becomes an issue. And if you want a BLT for lunch, they just can get ugly.

But nothing will stop America's low T like no T. What other changes are making us great again? The Trump administration ordering all gender ideology references be removed, including pronouns and email signatures. Oh yeah. Consonants and pronouns! Your next prepositions. No more pronouns and email signatures.

Good luck signing your emails now, President...she. Or should I say President him? Those are just the actions that this president has taken to prove that he's still kind of a dick. But believe me, he hasn't taken his eye off of America's true nation state enemies. President Trump is reiterating his threat to quote, take back the Panama Canal. Trump suggesting he could use military force to take Greenland. President Trump had a fiery phone call with Denmark's prime minister putting the NATO ally in crisis mode.

Denmark, Panama, Greenland, the axis of where are those? Now, lest you think that pronouns and Panama were the twin forces shackling America to a prison of national decay, there are also more powerful forces at play in this dangerous world, some of them closer than what you might have ever imagined. The new era of trade wars. Trump says tariffs are coming on Canada and Mexico and even the European Union. What is happening? The EU, Canada, do we have any friends?

I mean, Mexico I get, Trump's been hate f***ing Mexico pretty much since the escalator. That's the truth. But Canada? Canada? We're picking a fight with our most reliable and pleasant friend, the labradoodle of Allies? But I guess that's chump tough. You know what I mean? You gotta walk into the prison yard, walk right up to the one guy who really doesn't seem to be a problem at all. And just, yeah!

Take that, best friend! Who has willingly signed up to fight in every ridiculous war we've ever gotten into. Let that be a lesson to the rest of the world. We are a terrible friend. Denmark, Panama, and Canada are America. We used to fight the Nazis. Now we're scouring the globe for easy marks.

What are we allowed? The Jake Paul of nations? I know. Is that what we're doing? No offense. I know China's out there, but Panama's a legitimate fight. Yeah. In fact, I'm gonna call everyone out in FIFA's ConcaCaf division. Yeah! Oh, Trinidad and Tobago, you got a gang up, huh?

That honestly, like, I can't believe you laughed at a conker calf joke. Soccer is back, baby! Look at me getting all skewed in the tie. Now in Trump's defense, he did explain today why we're going after Canada. I mean, I look at some of the deals made, I say, who the hell made these deals so bad? So bad. The trade deals with Canada, they're so bad. He's just looking and saying, who made these?

Ladies and gentlemen, don't get ahead of me! Ladies and gentlemen, for your dining and dancing Peugeot, come with me into the way back machine to 2018. I give you the culprit of the terrible deal with Canada. This morning, President Trump signed a new trade deal to replace NAFTA with the leaders of Mexico and Canada. The best trade deal they say ever made. Oh! A deal done by Trump's greatest nemesis, Trump.

Now, hold on. Yep. All right. But President Trump, this trade war has awoken a sleeping giant. Not Canada, not Mexico, but the Democratic minority Senate leader. Release the Schumer! It's going to affect beer.

OK? Most of it, corona here, comes from Mexico. It's going to affect your guac, because what is guacamole made of? Avocados. Laughter Your response to the trade war is to f***ing tell us guacamole is made of avocados?

When the people find out the precious Super Bowl dip is comprised of mainly avocado, also tomato, sometimes onion. It's a bit much for me, obviously, with the spilkes and... Excuse me one second. Democrats. Democrats, can you please stop f***ing trotting Schumer out there every time Trump traverses into the unreal? He's not good at this. What is the decision-making process here?

Hey, who should we get out there to effectively battle one of the most savvy presidential media manipulators in history? I don't know. How about Schumer? He's uninteresting, but at least he's monotone. Oh, wait. And Chuck, before you go out there, you look too young.

Put on these readers and lower them on your nose. Perfect! Honestly, listening to Chuck Schumer speak on almost any topic makes me want to bomb Canada. I'm kidding of course, by the way. We have a couple of Canadians here from Montreal and I don't want to upset them because I'm going to need an apartment soon. Now before we get rattled by Trump's two to two and a half front trade war, please understand Mexico has already today received a 30 day stay on tariffs by promising 10,000 troops

to the border and we've promised to stop the inflow of guns. So self-invented crisis averted. But what can Canada do? I'm sure there's an equally performative gesture Canada could make. What I'd like to see Canada become our 51st state. Mexico, you just sent a few troops to the border. But Canada, if you could, I don't know, cease to exist as an independent entity. Fair?

What's that, Mexico? No, no, there's only 50 Wednesdays. There's no 50 seconds. I'm sorry. Hold on one sec. Washington, D.C.? Yeah, go f*** yourself. All right.

What's that, Puerto Rico? No, it's Canada. I think you know why. I think you know why. I think you know why. Canada. All right. Of course, by the way, since we even were writing this show at like 4 PM, Trump has already said now

he's going to pause the tariff war with Canada as well because, ah! Of course, it makes sense to wrap up the trade war right now so that we as a country can focus on the biggest thing that's weakening our great nation. Diversity, equity and inclusion. Yes, DEI, diversity, equity and inclusion. Mago World's blamed this scourge for everything from the fires in California to the attack on Bourbon Street to inflation to the Baltimore Bridge collapse to why your children are confused about the race of mermaids.

Because mermaids boys and girls are gingers. They've always been. The latest example being the plane crash in Washington. It was the DEI-ist. But don't take my word for it. Let's let MTV's road rules star and Fox and Friends B-teamer explain DEI. You can't focus on diversity, equity and inclusion when you try to hire higher traffic controllers you want the best you want the brightest protecting yourself and your family we will have the best and brightest in every position possible it is color blind and merit based. Look there's a lot of reasons why the FAA is in a bad place

but these guys would have you believe that the main problem is that standards were somehow lowered to make sure that a black person or a gay person gets a chance to land your plane, even though the requirements to become an air traffic controller are the same. But by culture warring this tragedy, Americans spent that terrible night holding the breath that the pilot or the air traffic controller wouldn't be a woman or a black person or

in a wheelchair. Because what they're trying to do is make the default setting on competence in America a white guy. That's what this is, a reset to the factory default. Because, of course, these two are there purely based on merit. And smarts.

It's... And it's just taken for granted. It undercuts every black person of color, woman in this country, that the job that they have, they don't deserve. It's f***. It's the mantra in the Republican Party that gives you brain

turning moments like this. In the United States of America we get ahead and succeed by merit and merit alone. Yes merit and merit alone says RNC chairwoman Lara hold on let me get my glasses. glasses. Trump. It was a blind submission, never saw her name on the application. That's the irony of this whole thing. The people standing next to Trump on that terrible night, blaming DEI and trying to reinstall white guys as the only non-suspect pool of hires are themselves DEI hires.

For one particular identity that they possess, the ass kisser. The president's leadership has been remarkable during this crisis. Mr. President, you make our jobs a lot easier. I want to echo what the transportation secretary said about your leadership. Thank you for your leadership. Encourage on that, sir. I think you make a really important point on that, Mr. President. The president is right. And again, I want to thank you for your leadership, Mr. President. DEI.

Sucking ego inflation. Obviously, if you think of sucking as a compound word. But you can gaslight us all you want. Because the one thing you didn't count on is our secret weapon. The roots of democracy are deep. People are aroused. I haven't seen people so aroused in a very, very long time in terms of going, trying to get this done.

Aroused. I'm going to be a little bit of a wimp. I'm going to be a little bit of a wimp. Aroused. For more on DEI and what it's going to do to our country, let's go live to the White House. Correspondent Josh Johnson. Nice to see you, sir.

Let me ask you, I know this is an important subject to you. Josh, what are you hearing about the DEI initiatives? John, what this administration is doing is dangerous. It is the perversion of the dream of Martin Luther King Jr. They've turned it into a nightmare, where the content of a person's character is judged by the color. Judged by the color of their skin.

From the White House, I'm Desi Lyech. Wait, what's going on? I'm sorry, Desi, this is Josh's report. Oh, you guys didn't get the executive order? We can't do DEI anymore. You're replacing me, but you're a woman. Yeah be a woman anymore. You're replacing me, but you're a woman. Yeah, a white woman.

White woman beats black guy? Look, white women don't make the rules. We just tacitly embrace them through our overwhelming support of Donald Trump as a voting bloc. We should be on the same side, okay? White women, black men, both held down by the white man. Yes, but the white man is my husband and sometimes he lets me have rights as a treat and I love my little treats. I'm sorry, Desi, but what about the executive orders changes our current situation?

The fact is that DEI is over, John, which means only the most competent people will be hoisted with my own petard. That's right. It's totally petarded, which is something we can say now thanks to Trump. And thank you, Desi, but I'll take it from here. You can go back to the milking room or wherever women lay eggs. Oh, come on. No, no, no. No, this is bullshit. I stole this job from Josh on merit. Isn't this the problem, guys? Trump's reducing us to rungs on a racial and gender hierarchy. We shouldn't be ranking our identities.

Exactly. But if we did, I should outrank Desi. I mean... Back me up here, Kosta. At the end of the day, we both got halls. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It goes race, then gender, then height, and then the tiebreaker is a list of establishments

your father owns. Uh... Listen up, petards. All right, I don't see sex or color, okay? I just see SAT scores. And I don't mean to brag, but the kid my parents paid to take the SATs from me knocked it out of the park. Oh, oh, I'm sorry. Are we talking...

SAT scores? No, no, no, no, no, are we talking SAT scores? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Really? No, no, we're not talking your SAT scores. Oh, yeah, that's right, because it's all about merit and high test scores until it looks like this. And then suddenly we got to defend the white boys like it's a rape case at Kappa Sigma Phi.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That would settle that accord. Yeah, yeah. It's all meritocracy until we get those H1Bs and take your coding jobs and, oh, it's not fair. Does black beat Asian? No.

Your days are numbered, Costa. Chang out. Back to you, John. Thank you very much, Michael. You know, I guess if there's one thing that we've learned here today, is it because of the Jewish thing or the H thing? Doesn't matter. I guess not. When we come back, my guest will be Mo Amherst.

Stick around, I'm Gentile Stewart. Hey, welcome back to The Daily Show. My guest tonight, oh, he's lovely. My guest tonight, a writer and stand-up comedian, he stars in the Peabody Award winning Netflix series Moe. Please welcome Moe Amma! -♪ -♪ -♪

-♪ -♪ -♪ You! You! I can't sit before you sit., you. No, you sit. I can't sit before you sit. You sit. No, you sit. Hospitality. Hospitality.

My man. How's it going? Show's so good. Thank you. Season 2 is out on Netflix right now. Right now. And people should watch. I binged it, and it's just, let me tell you something that bothers me a little bit.

And this is not, I'm not trying to obviously, you know, get off on the wrong foot, and obviously there's a lot to talk about. What bothers you? I want to know. So, friends of mine... Is it people leaving their windows open on aircrafts? Oh, my God, yes. So frustrating. What do you do? What are you looking at at 7 a.m. out there?

Try to keep things quiet. When you're so funny and your comedy is so good, and then I find out, watching this this show that you're also a great actor And that bothers me You're so good, I've seen big daddy You know my kids don't even believe that that was me. That's how bad erosion has taken its course. No, thank you so much. You can get to, like, a very emotional place in this thing

in a way, and I've known you for a very long time. And I know that you cry all the time, just generally. Uh... Why are you doing this? How was that, like, to even get to that? The crying? Yeah. I mean, you know, it was my first experience of that in the first season in the confessional. But really it's just, you know, it's such a personal story.

And I mean, some of the things that we're doing in the show was like recreating actual memories of mine with my grandmother. I mean, that's... I'm like, Grammy? You know what I mean? It's a very painful thing to go through, but I also knew that it was the realest way to tell the story. It's the most grounded way to tell the story. And it's very hard, and you have to be as controlled

and composed as possible, and sometimes you lose it and that's okay, right? And it's also you know for those who don't know so it's the story your story is is complex And it's but you're born in Kuwait, right? Yeah, then you have to flee Correct and you end in Houston. Yes, which is the natural place you land and you end in Houston. Yes, which is the natural place you end. Most people go from Kuwait, generally, to Fort Worth. But Houston is also.

And so what's so interesting about your story is what's great about the show is you don't sugar coat the absurd measures that we in this country have around our immigration system. And the various questions and steps. There's one of my favorite scenes in the show. In the second season. I love the first one, too, but... You're trying to get... He gets kidnapped and taken to Mexico.

Yeah. And now he's got to get back as a stateless person. Right. You're there. You need this what's called a laissez- a stateless person. Right. You're there. You need this what's called a laissez-passer. Correct. What is that? I don't know.

I don't know. It's basically like a pass, a day pass, to reenter the country legally. Since I exited illegally, but there's like this, you know, blurred line, and my character obviously runs with it. I was kidnapped, you know, the whole thing we play up in the show. But it's about like, this, you know, blurred line, and my character obviously runs with it. I was kidnapped, you know, the whole thing we play up in the show.

But it's about re-entering back. And I want to, you know, speak about this. Like, you know, I deliberately wanted him to be stuck in Mexico, and I wanted to show the journey of a refugee, right? Because the first season is, he's already there, right? Right. You're in Houston. You're in Houston, and the show takes place Trying to make it. The show takes place in Houston

with some minor flashbacks here and there to show the beginning of their story. But I wanted people to see what it takes to actually get to America because most people see, oh, immigrants are coming, asylees are coming, and they immediately think they're gonna become American citizens overnight. It's a long process.

And I also wanted to show how absurd the system is. And I wanted to see, for people to see, also, my character's also very privileged in this scenario. He's crossing the border. He ends up in a, some spoilers here. Who cares? Speaks English perfectly. Speaks English perfectly.

Right. Quotes Hank Williams. All the time. And that happened to me, actually, when I would travel overseas to do standup, and I would come back in the States, and I would be in the immigration part, like, because I didn't have a passport. I had a refugee travel document, and I'd be on the side.

And they would look at me like, do you speak English? I'm like, yelling and speaking slowly doesn't... fix it. If I don't speak English, I don't speak English. Like, and I would reply, and I was like, whoa, hey, oh, this is nice. Yeah, well, you're nice. And you start quoting Hank Williams songs. I don't speak English." And I would reply, and I was like, Whoa, this is nice. Yeah, well, you're nice. And you start quoting Hank Williams songs.

I start quoting Hank Williams songs. No, but that was the idea, is to show the absurdity of the system itself, to show how privileged the character is as well. Even though he's an asylee and a refugee, I mean, there's a scene in the detention center where there's a detainee there talking about how he has to, you know,

had to go through mudslides and jungles and snakes and then the cartel and drank the juice of a Vienna sausage can, and he looks at me, he's like, how'd you get here? I'm like, uh, I took a bus. Fuck. Mexico. But it talked...

What it really demonstrates is the tenuousness that somebody who is stateless or on these asylum papers or in this process, like, you can't f*** up at all. Like, you can't make one mistake. At one point, they put the, uh, you get deported. Yes. Because as an... It's a great scene, and he meets the ambassador of Mexico

because he needs the Laze Pase. Yeah, that's the only way. So I'm stuck in Mexico. I have to get to the ambassador of Mexico because he needs the Laze Pase. Yeah, that's the only way. So I'm stuck in Mexico. I have to get to the ambassador. It's really the only way I can re-enter legally is for him to sign off on Laze Pase, which is extremely hard to get. He finally gets in to see the ambassador to Mexico,

and it's there. It's right there in front of him. And they happen to get on a conversation about Israel-Palestine. And the ambassador doesn't use the word occupation. Occupation, that's right. And Moe. And this is so great in the scene,

because he's right there, just blows up the whole process and goes, that's it, I'm out. Well, yeah, it's like something you just can't let go of. I mean, he says a peaceful end to the conflict. And there's so much complexity to it. I mean, so many layers, nuance to it and history to it, and it's just frustrating. I couldn't let it go. I mean, it's really from my own life, really.

If I'm sitting there, I will not be able to let it go. And he could have solved everything. I could have said it, but I will never be able to figure it out myself. Right. And I thought, how funny would that be if he's just a massive f*** up in the go and just a massive. But he's like has his morals intact and his ethics and tack but even bringing that complexity, you know you have this whole complexity of statelessness and asylum and all the process they have to go through through the

first season and a special needs brother who is fashion out of your actual brother, yes, who's got on the spectrum, yes, but doesn't know it. Yes. And is almost 40? Yes. Oh, my brother's older than that now. But yes, in the show, yes.

Yes, in the show. And in this season, you couldn't also escape the Israel-Palestine of it all. Correct. And the complexity of that must have brought to the writers' room, to your heart. And you and I have talked about this a lot. Oh, so easy.

I mean, like... No, no, I'm sorry to cut you off, but it's like the way to just ease the tension because it was excruciating making the show. Right. It was absolutely one of the, and I feel shameful even saying it was excruciating or painful to know what they were going through. Right.

Like I really, oof, you know, it's a hard one to swallow. But you know, there were so many voices, like are you gonna talk about October 7th? Do you have to talk about it? You can't not talk about it. And everyone has their own opinions. And I discussed it with you thoroughly. And you were just like the best human on Earth.

Like, thank you so much. No, really, because in a moment where I felt so lonely, you were one of the people that I could call and really talk to about this. And it was very difficult. And it was very easy once, you know, I spoke to you and I, you know, obviously the writing room was integral to this process, and I love them so much for having

such difficult conversations, because we started on April 1st. We went on strike May 1st. We came back October 1st of 23, six days later, the only Palestinian show on television. You can imagine the conversations that were had. And so I decided, like, absolutely not. We're not gonna talk about October 7.

There's several problems with it. Number one is that, you know, it's been a year, you know, since we started productions. You have a whole year that lapsed that, you know, so many things could change, and you could write something that wouldn't be correct. Second of all is that now, you know, it needs a lot of context.

Everything that you write about October 7th makes it sound like everything started on October 7th. And I felt like it was a trap. It really felt like every time we went down that rabbit hole, the show just became didactic, and we lost everything. It became like a full-blown drama, and this is a comedy show. And it's a massive disservice

to the characters let the characters tell the story. Let's build off of that and and it will take us exactly where we need to go and that's what happened. I think what what you did so well that I was so impressed with was navigating all those artistic difficulties. What you seemed to settle on was, and it's a show about statelessness and not belonging,

and in that final episode, you show that connection to the land, that your family has to the land, that your father in that, you know, he has a videotape of his father, an actual real videotape of your actual father. Yes, that's correct. Who, unfortunately, you lost your father.

Yeah, he passed away in 95th, correct. And to see that, it made it all... I thought it was such a beautiful moment that contextualized this in such a way of humanity of like, oh, right, these are just people who live on a plot of land with some olive trees who've been there since their grandparents and their great-grandparents.

And boy, you did it just so beautifully, Mo. I can't give you enough flowers for, and I know there's always that, you just said like, the pressure on, you're the only always that, you just said like, the pressure on you're the only Palestinian who chose it, you have to do it right this way, or you've got to tell the Israeli story. The thing about art that you did so well was,

you told your story. Yeah. It's just one story, but boy is it resonant, and boy is it funny, and complex, and beautiful, like you. And I just so appreciate you. Thank you, I appreciate you. Thank you very much. Really, thank you.

Special. Thank you. Now, I will also say this. I've also seen you riding a moped and that's very funny. Why you gotta do this to me? I ride motorcycles, okay? That's right. Except when you're in Ohio. I'm not saying. Why you got to do this to me? I ride motorcycles, OK? That's right, except when you're in Ohio.

OK, maybe in Ohio during the pandemic, I was riding mopeds. But other than that? And then people were making fun of me because I was bigger than the moped. Everyone was like, maybe you should get a motorcycle. I was like, fine. And I was divorced right then and there at that time.

So I was like, maybe eight motorcycles. You know what I mean? It just kept buying more motorcycles. It was like, so absurd. That's what divorced guys do. But now... That's it. That's it.

Now you got a kid. Married and have a kid. He's backstage. He's backstage right now. He's backstage. He's backstage. Yeah. Now, do you feel like this is completed,

and now it's off to the races for stand-up and all the other things that you do? Yeah, I'm touring. I'm doing the El Oso Palastino Tour, which is based off of a character in the show which translates to the Palestinian Bear Comedy Tour. But, yeah, I'm doing that. I'm going into the next special. But there's so much more story to tell.

I mean, there's so much more to do. Right. Yeah. And you mentioned, like, I'm doing that. I'm going into the next special. But there's so much more story to tell. I mean, there's so much more to do. But, yeah. And you mentioned, like, the ankle monitor. I do get deported in the... But it also is going to confuse people because how do you get deported? But there's a thing. It's actually very, very common. This is fine in the show, actually. It's crazy. It's very, very common.

You can get deported and released on your own recognizance, which means you're deported, but you can stay. Right. But you're deported. Yeah. You played it like an Abed and Kissel routine on the show. He's like, so I'm deported. Yes. But I can't leave.

Correct. Yes. Were the reasons that you were giving in the show for that, are those real? Could you not be deported because they wouldn't send you to Palo... because you're stateless? Yeah, because you're stateless. No, but this is apparently a send you to... Because you're stateless. Yeah, because you're stateless.

No, but this is apparently a really common thing, whether you're stateless or not. I thought, you know, you don't want Palestinians returning anyway, so stop. You're not going to deport them. We're going to deport you back to where? Oh, you're Palestinian. Stay in Houston. Relax a little bit. We'll give you a work permit.

Do your thing. But, no, it's apparently, like, really, really common. I forgot what the percentage is, but it's in the 30-plus percentile, where people get deported regularly, but they can stay. Can I ask this? Was the ankle monitor thing? I know.

Look at this guy. He's so confused. Oh, yeah. Jaw drop. His brain almost short-circuited. The ankle bracelet, does it Have a communication device? Is that a real thing?

It is. We had someone consult on the Show who was actually was in The detention center and was Random. It's all at random. You get an ankle device just Like, hey, you know, you're

Number seven. Sorry. The first six didn't get it. But you got it. And then that's not real to my Life. But when I heard about it, I'm like, we got to put that in the show. It's going to be hilarious,

because the guy could chime in at any moment in time and be like, please tell me your location. Like, that could really happen. I mean, how embarrassing and horrible is that? So... It was one of my favorite moments of the show. You're having very painful discussions with your old girlfriend and you guys,

and they have a really painful discussion, they break up and you just hear from the ankle monitor, brutal. Brutal. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha. You saw it. Such a great moment. My brother. My brother. I love you so much. I'm so just delighted for you in your life and in your art and all those different things. My brother. I love you so much. I'm so just delighted for you in your life and in your art and all those different things and I can't wait to see what the

next thing is. Thank you so much man. I love you so much John. Thank you so much. Most season 2 is available on Netflix. Mo Amr, pay in a quick bit. We'll be right back after this. My man! Come on in. Hi. That is our show for tonight. Debbie Leidig will be your host for the rest of the week. Here it is. Your moment is out. I like nepotism.
