Listen to the Weekly Show with John Stewart,

wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central. You're listening to South Carolina for what was originally permitted as a MAGA rally, but later downgraded to an intimate event. What is this? Avent? It's a trump rally. It is a rally.

I'd say it was. It's not a rally. It's somewhat of a rally. Now I thought it was a rally. It's a bunch of people standing in line. It's an event. It's a list. It's invited list only.

This is a private event that VIPs have been invited to. Yes, only heavily vetted VIPs were invited, like this guy. Somerero Trump. Somerro Trump. Yes, it's not a rally. It's a leadership form of leadership teams. I see a guy like this, I think this guy's got two dates circled out his calendar. Zingo to Mayo and January 6th. Yeah, this kicked off was packed with classic style and classic takes. Donald Trump is president right now. He's currently the president. He is still president. There's a lot of things that this

Biden person does not have like the president. He is still president. There's a lot of things that this Biden person does not have like the presidential seal and things like that that are pretty obvious. Biden doesn't have the presidential seal? When he speaks there's a presidential seal in front of him. It's not real. What is he doing as president? He is in charge of the military. The military is in charge this whole thing. The military were put in charge in two-a-a-in the the the tr. tr. tr. tr. tr. tr-in, tr. tr-in, tr-in, tr-in, tr-in, tr-in, the tr-in, th. th. th. th. th. thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. the the the the the thi. the the the thi. thi. thi. thi-isi-s, thi-s, is thi. thi. thi. thi. thiiiiii. thiiiiii. thiiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. of this whole thing. The military were put in charge in 2018 when President Trump signed an executive order. The American military arms that are going to Ukraine, we have Donald Trump to thank for that? No. That's two military. There's two militaries. There's a good and a bad. So there's two militaries. Donald Trump's in charge of the good one. Yes.

Biden's in charge of the good one. Yes. Biden's in charge of the bad military? That's exactly right. Fortunately, there were some supporters who still believe an election cycle is actually necessary and were serious about planning for a long campaign. It's just been doing a lot of preparations, a lot of testing the waters and, you know, just what's normal. Talking to advisors? Yeah, pretty much. Nick Fuentes, Kanye West, like the minds that are going to shape the point of view of this whole campaign.

The original Trump brand is still strong. Sweet Zadde that guy, huh? Yeah? Yeah. Mr. When the looten starts, that's when the shooting starts. But a new election cycle could mean a different tone. What are you seeing that is different about Trump and his tone with this kind of an event? I think it's more elevated. He's at a more kind of a mature level. How everybody's got all their advisors. It's almost like he's

finally listening to his a little bit as far as... tone the comments down. Are you noticing even the Maga community being more serious and respectable? If you watch the conservative rhetoric, it looks like you still love America. Conservative rhetoric still respects positions of power in this country. Our police, our military, our executive branch. Exactly. What's your hat say? I don't remember. I could shit a better president. This campaign is already attacking Biden's approach to the war in Ukraine, while lauding Trump's brilliant yet still theoretical approach. Putin would have never ever gone in and even now I could solve that in 24 hours. Trump says he could pick up the phone and end this thing in 24 hours.

What actually would he say? Knock it off. He'd kind of be that that kind of tone to him. You think totally knock it off might cower Vladimir Putin. Because he knows Trump stands up and says hey 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 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 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 th. And even th. And even th. And even th. And even th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And even th. And even th. And even th. And th. And even th. And 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 the th. And th. And even the. And even now now now now the. And even now the. And even now now the. And even now the. And even now now the. And even now now it off, might cower Vladimir Putin. Because he knows Trump stands up and says, hey, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do it. So you wish Biden would threaten nuclear war? No, no. Strong stance of, hey, stop doing this. Okay. Or? You got to have a rattle behind that saber.

Right. Which is? Troops, but you don't want to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do rattle behind that saber. Right, which is? Troops, but you don't want to do troops, because then you have all that war. Right, so what would it be? Threat of it? Threat of troops. Correct. So you want Trump to get into office and promise to put troops into that war? No, I want to stop it verbally. Because you don't want military into it because then it escalates. If you said verbally you have to have some sort of backup. Correct. So you want Trump to have that backup, which would be not troops? No, he has the troops. So you would support troops being sent in? You don't want to send troops in.

It seems like a complicated situation. It is very complicated. Fortunately, for some of these not rally goers, it doesn't th complicated. I haven't seen any news reports about you know this terrible war in Ukraine. Where do you get your news? Newsmax. And they haven't covered it at all. I think that there's no war to cover. I think the whole thing is fabricated and I think that Zelensky who is the president of Ukraine I believe that this is all extortion money. I spent a little time in Hungary and I met people who were coming from Ukraine to try to find safe haven. They were actual refugees fleeing what they said was a war zone.

Were they? Whying? I just think they might be actors. I believe that they might be actors. All of those people, I met in Hungary, those are refugees. I believe that the government is paying them to do that. That's a lot of actors. If that's a sad gig, that's going to cost you billions. And if this is the Trump campaign's first round of invites, America is in for a sweet, sweet ride.

Last week, Donald Trump declared his arrest was imminent and called for a protest to take our nation back outside the Manhattan District Attorney's office. So yesterday I ventured all the media circus and joined the media circus to observe this crowd of MAGA protesters who were definitely around here somewhere. Yeah, this is the true social here. It says Tuesday, protest, take our nation back. Excuse, is this the protest for Trump? Or the Trump protest or the supporting, are we taking our nation back?

Is that today? That was today. So I did have the day right, and then I found a proud and totally concealed Trump's supporter. Why are you here? Because I'm here. Because they want that day to know. So Trump went on his own social media and he called out people his supporters to come out here and support him and right now that's just you. I'm here I'm here I'm here to come

out of the crowd. I don't need you you come outside no I got this okay I'm here to actually see what's going on everyone was talking about it so I came here to check it out you want to see with your own eyes it's right because I don't believe what I'm hearing on the news means. So what have you seen so far? Absolutely, I was nothing. Nothing. Correct. This was an unusual Maga rally. The numbers were low and it was in my own city. However, the arguments over some basic facts were refreshingly familiar. Do you think it's fair for Trump to be indicted if that does happen this week? Listen, I don't know all the specific facts, but what I do know is he's my president.

Right now? I think he's not president. You think he's serving the role as your president currently? Well, he's, in my heart, he's my president. I just have to be clear sometimes. Sure, sure. You think Joe Biden is thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's that's that's that's that's th. thi. thi. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. the. the. th. the. the. that's that's the. that's that's that's I just have to be clear sometimes. Well sure, sure. You think Joe Biden is president, right? No, I think that man is a scam. I just know that's a legend he's there because that man doesn't make an incentive. But technically he is there. He is serving the role of president. Maybe. I don't know. I haven't been down, I've been down, I've been up in Washington, D.C. I've not not seen, I've not seen, I've not seen, I've not seen, I've not seen, I've not seen, I've not seen, I've not seen, I've not seen, I've th. I've th. I've not seen, I've th.

I'm not that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a th. I don't think he actually spends time in the White House? I don't know. Well, there are videos of him in the White House. He's, can we just, I just want to get beyond this fact. He is the President of the United States. Donald Trump was the President of the United States. Fact? That's what some said. Oh, okay. Deborah, why are you here today? to be going after him because I didn't know why he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he th. th. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. th. I didn't th. I didn't th. I didn't th. I didn't. thin. 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 the the the the the the the the the the the th. He is is. He is. He is. He is.

He's is know why he's going to go after him because they're going to push him out to do and probably bring Michelle Michael Obama in, okay?

But, uh, that's correct, okay. They may, why, why do you call her Michael Obama? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no. No. No, no. No, no, no, no. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No, they they they they they they they they th. Why. Why. Why. Why. Why, they they they they they they they they the they they the the the the the that, but I'm just telling you what she said about Michael Obama, okay? Regardless of their sources, the MAGA crowd, which the police estimated to be between three and six people, believe these charges were unworthy of a former president. I don't feel Trump should be in trouble. That's unconstitutional, I feel to indict a president. This is a political attack. Yes. They're not charging somebody else for this crime.

Yes, yeah, it's a... Everything, hold on. Everything's political. Right. They did charge somebody else with this exact crime. Yeah, and so why shouldn't he be charged? Well, Michael Cohen was charged, pled guilty. Served ti loyalty. If it ain't loyalty is nothing.

This is about a man who cheated on his wife with a porn star while his wife was at home with their newborn son. But loyalty is a big issue for you. Listen, we meant. Right. So we all know Trump doesn't understand how the law works. Turns out he doesn't know when it works either. But for Maga supporters feeling FOMO about missing the Donald's showdown with justice,

I'm confident you'll get another chance. How are you going to be here today? I don't know, maybe a couple more hours, walk around, grab something to eat. If Trump is indicted in Georgia next, you going there? I don't know, maybe I will. It's like a big old indictment tour, right? I'll see in Georgia, maybe we'll swing by DC.

What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about the election earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls?

Tuesday's arraignment of former President Donald Trump in New York was a first for the nation and brought out the passionate, the sensibly dressed and the kind of men who really disappoint their mothers. True genders! True genders! While I had fun getting into the scrum, I was surprised to find there were people who wanted to have meaningful conversations about the justice system.

I don't believe what you're seeing is justice. You don't believe in the grand jury process? I don't believe if this was a civilian, it would. I mean, he is a civilian. He's a person, but New York address. So he shouldn't go through the grand jury process. process process process process process process process process process process process process. to process. to process. to process. to process. to process. to process. toe process. toe process. toe process. toe process. toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, thoome, toe, thii. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the thi, the the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the, the, the, the. thean. trean. true. true. true. true, true, true, true, true, true, true, thean. thean. thean. So he shouldn't go through the grand jury process. I believe it should be dismissed. Because?

Because I'm going by a general gut feeling. The way I see is, you know, the government is stepping over their bounds and doing what they're doing here, indicting Donald Trump. This stuff happens all the time. What stuff, paid off a board star and then fudging business records? I mean, come on, it's his own money for one thing. And out of all the cases up against Donald Trump, this is probably the weakest one. Probably the weakest one.

Yeah. There's no evidence tothen see that evidence. You know, listen, I think that everyone should get a fair trial. So you would support a grand jury looking at all of the evidence and if they decide to indict Donald Trump, well then we will let that happen. Sure, certainly. If there's evidence, every piece of evidence should be heard. Well I mean, that's what happened here. There's excitement in the air. It feels almost like the American version of a royal event. If the king fucked a porn star, paid her, and then lied about it.

The business record, like an American coronation. And then the Donald arrived. The former leader of the free world was now possibly in the same room as a group of recently busted subway masturbators. I think he orchestrated all of this. Yeah, because his polls, like DeSantis was sort of, was rising. Now he's taking all the air out of the room now, Trump. In 2016, he had all the media, Fox News, CNN was covered.

Now they don't cover him anymore. Now they have to. Get interested in their own smartest guys, I know him. You're talking about the man who's getting fingerprinted inside that building right now. I think they fingerprint him already. They have his DNA. They have his DNA. That guy's left his DNA in a lot of different places. This is like the seventh time. Could Trump run his election from prison?

He can do anything, Trump's his fingerprint. Yeah. Would that that's thrain even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even their their to be the person who's literally touching his fingerprint right now. Have you donated to the Trump campaign since he was? I haven't thought about it up until now but I guess I can terrorist. Trump has fundraise like over $5 million for this. So in some ways it's almost like he's getting paid to have sex. Is he a sex working? I mean it's cool there's no judgment. Look, I think you guys are great. I love senses and humor, but in many ways, you should appreciate this is not funny.

Because they're going after Trump today. They'll go after me tomorrow, and then they'll go after you. Did you pay off a port star and then lie about your business record? Oh, I'm sorry. That's got to be frightening. I guess that they th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi that's thi thi thi thi thi thrown that's thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown after thrown after thr-tha thr- thr-tha thr-tha thr-tha thr-today thr-toda thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thr-a. thr-a'''a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'n'a'n'n'a'n'a'n on our business records and then using that when it comes to the campaign as well, I guess that could happen to anybody. Perhaps we don't need justice to be blind. Just friendly. I went downtown to watch Trump's historic arrest and the surrounding media circus, but I was curious how hometown boy Donald Trump would be greeted by regular New Yorkers.

Donald Trump, like, Jesus Christ, what more is there to say? Trump the deck! Yes, he is! Yes, he is! Yes! Yes, he is! Yes! Yes, he is! Another real diehard Magopho, but also appearing were some of the most respected and articulate

members of the Republican Party. Marjorie, are you afraid Trump will be mistreated by the Gasparvajal police? Yes, the rising stars of the GOP came out in force. If anybody can get Donald Trump off today, it's America's lead defense attorney, George Santos, who it's a Harvard Law and Stanford line. Are you finally bringing legitimacy to this process? defense attorney George Santos who is a Harvard law and Stanford lawyer. Are you are you finally bringing legitimacy to the process? Are you finally bringing legitimacy to the process George? Just tell us George can you talk to us about your volleyball

today? Just tell uss? Talk to me about your logic. Which logic have you gotten that you are breaking here to this? I showed up. As first president of the United States, do you feel that you can actually handle the jurisprudence going out? Come on, let's go. George. Talk to me about your volleyball. After a productive conversation like that, I feel good about our nation's future. Explore more shows from the Daily Show podcast universe by searching the Daily Show,
