Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, 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 with your host, Michael Costa. Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Michael Costa. We have a great show for you tonight. We're going to talk about Michigan's commitment issues. The Supreme Court debates how much gun is too much gun and the worst thing to happen to Willie Wonka since Johnny Depp. So let's get into the headlines. Let's get things off with the Supreme Court, where the nine justices sat down today

and after Clarence Thomas put out his tip jar, they heard arguments on whether it should be legal to essentially turn ordinary guns into machine guns. The Supreme Court is hearing arguments on bump stocks. The attachments functionally turns semi-automatic rifles into automatic weapons. Donald Trump banned them in 2017 after the massacre at a Las Vegas music festival where a shooter, aiming from a hotel room, fired 1,100 rounds in just 11 minutes. Everyone agrees that machine guns can be banned.

And the arguments here hinge in part on the very technical issue of exactly how bump stocks work and whether their mechanism fits the definition of a machine gun under the law. The justices really grappled with that today and what we heard was broad agreement that preventing guns from firing hundreds of rounds per minute made a lot of sense. But there was disagreement about whether the ban was justified by that machine gun law. Hold on, the Supreme Court is trying to decide if that gun is a machine gun. Look, I'm not a machine gun expert, but if a gun makes you go, ah, uh, uh, that's a machine gun. Look, I'm not a machine gun expert, but if a gun makes you go, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

that's a machine gun. The court spent all day thrown around very technical questions about trigger functions versus trigger poles to determine what a machine gun is. But I'd like to suggest we approach this case with my new legal theory. It's called looking at something with your fucking eyes. For instance, if a gun can fire, if a gun can fire 5,000 rounds a second, you can debate firing mechanisms or you can look with your fucking eyes and see that it's a machine gun. Are the shells flying out of the gun at a machine gun rate?

Look with your fucking eyes. It's a machine gun. And this doesn't just stop with guns. My legal theory can be applied to all sorts of issues, like IVF. Okay? You could debate viability or conception, or you could just look with your fucking eyes and see if this is a cluster of cells in a Petri dish, not a person, okay? Do I have to take... Do I have to take, do I have to take this Petri dish to the playground and give it snacks all day? No, then it's not a person.

I've seen sourdough starters more alive than that. But no, but no, but no, but no, but conservatives are saying it's not about how it looks. There's a very specific trigger mechanism, blah, blah, blah. They have the same approach to guns that snobby liberals do to whine, unless it comes from the machine gun region of France, it's only a sparkling rifle. Look, I don't even blame gun nuts. I blame the forefathers. They should have been clearer.

The Second Amendment is only 27 words. You think they'd put a bit more detail into the amendment that gives killing power to everybody? Didn't they just... but no, they just did 27 words. Even the amendment that gives women the right to vote is 39 words. Okay? That could have been three. Women be voting. Done. Right? But, yeah. Let's move on to a country that doesn't have gun problems. Scotland, don't get me wrong. They have equally big problems of their own.

Now, the furious parents in Scotland who thought they had scored a golden ticket to an amazing Willy Wonka experience, but instead wound up with something closer to the fire festival. A new event in Glasgow, Willie's chocolate experience, AI generated images promising a whimsical day for kids, with an enchanting garden, live performances and character appearances, including Oompels, all for about 45 bucks. Instead, a near empty warehouse. A bouncy castle with wooden tables set up, some janky props of candy, reports of kids crying. He paid money. There's children here. One actor who played Willy Wonka and described the event as a place where dreams went to die.

I hate to say it, but if you're an actor who's playing Willy Wonka in a warehouse, your dreams probably already died a while ago. Look, I don't know why everyone is so upset that the kids were traumatized. Have you seen the movie? Traumatizing kids is the authentic Wonka experience. They should just be thankful they didn't have to get rolled out. Oh, I'm sorry. You had to drink a plastic cup of lemonade. Violet Beauregard has to buy three airplane seats from now on. People are comparing this thing to the fire festival. Come on guys, it's not the fire festival. For one thing, none of the parents offered to suck an ump-lumpa's d'ck for a bottle of water. But I do get why the parents are upset. They marketed this thing with these incredible AI pictures.

I mean, it looks nice. Unless you look at the AI written words, and maybe that should have tipped the parents off. I mean, look at the actual text on the website. Cat, cagotting, carci tons, exaceradray, lollipops, a passa dice of sweet teats. Who reads that and thinks, oh this this seems legit. I mean, on the other hand, in Scotland, that's just what English sounds like. So I, finally, let's move on to the political news in our ongoing coverage of Indecision 2024.

Yesterday, my home state of Michigan held primary elections, but the big story was who Democrats didn't vote for. This morning, President Biden and former President Trump coming off huge wins in Michigan, but it's these voters who shook up the Democratic primary. If he doesn't get it together and change what he's doing, we will not vote for him in November. Overnight, an extremely unusual watch party for voters who cast their ballots not for a candidate, but for uncommitted in protest of President Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas war. The efforts organizers had sent their goal at 10,000 votes. They got more than 10 times that that that that that th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi he thi thi hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee he he heat- 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 he he he he's he he's he he's th. he the to to to to the to the to the to to toe. theat. toe. theat. theat. theat. the. theat. the the the the thamas war. The efforts organizers had sent their goal at 10,000 votes.

They got more than 10 times that. Wow, 100,000 people went outside in Michigan, in February, to say they don't like you. That is a lot of commitment to uncommitment. Reminds me in my single years. Ho hooo! Hooo! Reminds me in my single years. How ho! How? How? Anyways, it's horrible what's happening in the Middle East. And ceasefire supporters are sending Joe Biden a strong message that if he doesn't push for an end

to the war, they won't vote for him. And I'm glad they're making their voices heard. This is how you get attention of politicians. You threaten to kick them out of office if they don't listen to you. Of course, in this particular situation, the guy who would take his place is Trump. Not only is he not sympathetic to your cause. He said he's going to add Gazans to the Muslim ban. It's like convincing your sister to break up with that guy who's no good for her and then the next Christmas she shows up with Pennywise. You know? He's got kids in the sewer. That's a red flag, sis.

For more on the Michigan primary, let's go live to the state capital with our own Jordan Clepper. Jordan, what's your take? What's your take here? Well, Michael, I can speak to the feeling over here because I'm actually a Michigan native myself. Michiganer, if you will. Yeah, no kidding. Same here. Where are you on the hand? Over here on the Western Palm. Oh, interesting, I'm just a little southeast of the thumb. Oh, Michiganer. Same here. Where are you on the hand? Uh, over here on the Western Palm. Oh, interesting. I'm just a little southeast of the thumb. Oh, you simple, stupid thumb folk. I had no idea.

Must have been wild-cutting class to snort car grease in that abandoned Pontiac factory. Oh, right. Okay. Like you guys had it so good in the west, the west-of so you could buy tickets to minor league West Michigan White Cap games. You take the name of the West Michigan Whitecaps out your mouth dumb boy. Okay, okay, let's look, look, Jordan, let's put our obviously universal Michigan references aside for the moment. And focus in on the primary. It seems like a lot of Democrats expressed dissatisfaction yesterday. True, Michael, but that embodies the beauty thiiiiiiiiiol- thiol- 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, thage thage, thage thage thage the the the the the the the the the name the name the name the name the name the name the name the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the the the the theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, that, that True, Michael, but that embodies the beauty of our democracy. No matter who you are or where you come from, in our country, you will be heard, as long as you live in a swing state. Wait.

Wait. Wait. Just a swing states. That's only like 10 states. Not at all. Five. Max. Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, sometimes Arizona. Everything else might as well be Canada. Okay, well, what about people who live in New York? They can shut the fuck up. Oh. No one gives us shit what those people think. Okay. I see what you're saying. So really, we, Michiganders, hold a lot of power. Whether we come from the East or the vastly inferior dim-witted, pea-brained West. Yes, even you, the bizarro eastern Michigan Jordan Clepper with worse hair and a strangely smaller forehead has power.

The point is, we've got the Democrats by the balls, and we need to squeeze them like sweet Michigan cherries for everything we want. I like that. Yeah, like peace in the Middle East. Yeah, sure that can be part of it but also we need to build a wall on the Ohio border. Keep the Buckeyes out. I love this. We could put M&M on the Supreme Court. Yes. We'll need like a federal holiday for Jeff Daniel's birthday and Retroactively make the lions this year's Super Bowl champions. I don't know how Biden does that but that's his problem not ours. Yep, we could we could declare lakes are better than oceans. Yeah, and Lake Michigan is obviously the best lake. I think you mean lake hereon. I wouldn't be caught dead in that pill infested sludge pool you call a lake. Lake Michigan is clearly superior. Lake Superior is superior. You moron, you're as useless as Ohio State's defensive line. You're not wrong about that.

F. The buck guys. Absolutely. Jordan Clepper everybody, good guy. When we come back we'll take a look inside our leader's brains. Don't go away. 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 with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the Daily Show. Some big news today. One week after turning 82, Mitch McConnell, the longest serving Senate leader in U.S. history, unfroze long enough to make a big announcement. We have some breaking news from Capitol Hill to tell you about Senator Mitch McConnell, says he will step down from his position as Republican leader come November. McConnell is the longest serving Senate leader in history.

One of life's most under-appreciated talents is to know when it's time to move on to life's next chapter. Next chapter. I don't think there's that much left in the book, my friend. I think you're looking at the acknowledgments page right now. Yes, this is the end of Mitch's reign in the Senate. In an honor of all that he's done to stop mass shootings, there will be a 21-gun salute at an elementary school later this month. But this does raise a question. How do aging politicians know whether they still have it together enough to keep doing

their jobs? Well, we found the doctor who lets them all know. Take a look. Chuck Grassley turned 90 years old. America's ruling class has composed mostly of old people that work tirelessly to ensure our country is running at full speed. Good morning. Sunday morning.

But despite them passing a full yearly medical exam, some people wonder, who is the doctor evaluating the mental fitness of America's top leaders? Let's put it this way, he has two thumbs. My name is Dr. Dennis Lowry Stein, and I am the U.S. government's chief neurologist. It's my job to evaluate our leader's brains. And the good news is, they're all perfect. Let's take a look at President Biden. America is a nation that can be defined in a single word. I was in the foothills of the Himalayas with Shijingping.

That's amazing. His brain is switching languages mid-sentence. That is m'ue-bueno. Or should I say, mo brano? As someone who suffered from multiple brain injuries myself, I know just how important mental health is. And I know that because I've suffered from many brain injuries myself. I'm getting it from my leg. Okay, Senator McConnell, I'm just going to ask you a few questions to check the old noggin. What is this a picture of? Yeah, I guess it does kind of make you think. Good insight, Senator. I'm going to clear you for another six years. I'll check every part of the brain.

Portside, the Mazusa, Einstein's Taint, and the Lisa Loeb. The back? How did I get this job? Well, I'm Nancy Pelosi's nephew. I mean, I'm not, but she thinks I am. So. I haven't personally met all my patients, but you don't have to. Neurology is something you can just kind of eyeball. Five minutes later and they say, go back to that question.

They don't tell you this. Go back to that question and repeat them. Can you do it? And you go, person, woman, man, camera TV. More words than I know. The best part is re reassuring the public that their leaders are okay. No, wait, the best part is writing my own prescriptions, but after that, reassuring the public. I know a lot of you have expressed concerns for the senator's well-being, but I have his test results right here. 100%. That's what he said when I asked him what year it was.

And you know what to me? That's close enough. The college isn't actually the way faculties of our highest ranking officials, just remember, you've got a professional making sure everything is okay. Yes, hi, I just wanted to inform Senator Feinstein that her brain had cleared for another term. Oh, she did. Oh, she did. No, no, that doesn't change my diagnosis at all. You have a good day. And we come back, Sloan Clause,

you will be joining me on the show, don't go away. 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 with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to The Daily Show. My guest tonight is a best-selling author whose new book is called GRIPE is For People. Please welcome Sloan Crosley. All right. Hi. Hi.

Hi? Hi? How you feeling? I feel great. How do you feel? I feel great. I'm excited to talk with you. this book is beautiful and wonderful.

How do you feel? I feel great. I feel great. I How do you feel? I feel great. I'm excited to talk with you. This book is beautiful and wonderful. You write before this book, a lot of essays involving humor. This is a memoir involving loss and grief, with a lot of humor in it. I laugh, but how do you strike that balance between grief and laughing? I know. I can't believe I'm here, talking about the sad book. No, I think

that the sort of topography of grief that everyone experiences, the people you miss, you miss because they're so specific. And in this case, the person I miss was very dark and very funny. And so you have both my cylinder of humor going and his going at the same time. You mention Russell, but really when you start this book, it's about being burglarized. I know, so many bad things happen. Again, there's a lot of laughing. There is a lot of laughing, for real, for real.

But one of the most interesting parts of the book is how it turns. And tell me a little bit about how you approach that from being robbed, to then this next bad thing that happened. Yeah, so basically in June, on June 27th of 2019, I left my apartment for one hour, to get a hand x-ray, so I took all my rings off. I mean, what are you going to do? And came home to find all my jewelry gone, burglarized. And not particularly flashy, just gone. And then a month later, my dearest friend unfortunately died by suicide. So that first loss obviously became the sort of more minor

precursor to the second loss. But I as a human being I am deeply unlucky but as a in this case I am yeah but as a writer of this book I knew this is a suspenseful story about grief and it's a funny story about grief and I don't think you get a lot of those so. Yeah and it's easy to grieve at first for these items. Yeah, right? I mean if you have been... I mean it sucked. It sucks. I mean it's you know I we had some winter coat stolen and I'm almost embarrassed. Yeah we had winter coat stolen. I'm almost sorry for your loss. Exactly. Exactly. It is humorous in a way, but also you feel violated, you feel mad.

Yes. And then as soon as anything real happens, you go, that's the important thing. Yes, well, it's also the need. The only commonality that these two losses have is the sudden nature of them. Yeah. It just felt like th th th the thuuult the thult thult thult the thult thult thu them. It just felt like a real demarcation of before and after, which you don't always get with grief. Tell me about Russell. You tell a lot of in the book, but a national television, I was glad to share Russell with it. So I used to work in book publishing. He hired me. I worked for him for 10 years. He was a wildly generous, funny, brilliant, publicist,

and deeply inappropriate. I'm really hesitant to repeat some of the lines in the book. But he fits sort of less and less, I think, in a world that he had helped built, in a way. And part of the challenge of this book was how to memorialize and pay tribute to someone like that without sounding like a frustrated septogenarian white man who's like it's just not the same. Right, right. The world has changed. Yeah. But he was just a wonderful, well-read human being who really was almost like, you know, he's my partner in crime. Yeah, I felt like that. People have that with work relationships and friends. I love when you talk about some of his quote-unquote offensive, whatever they were, remarks,

actions, I mean he sent you an email once as your cat or something? Is that what it was? Yeah, the whole account. Yeah, it would say like, Mommy, why are you wearing the same thing you wore yesterday? Right. Mommy, why didn't you come home last night? Right. This is my boss, just so that's so awesome. I mean, but also like my dear wonderful friend. Yeah, and what HR doesn't get is...

Won't kill them. Right, well, it's, it's, it's when someone is gone, it's these hilarious, sometimes they cross the line moments that we think about and we laugh about. Yes, and now having said that, I'm not trying to be permissive over some of the behavior that he exhibited it, but also it didn't come those things that we're talking about, didn't, they weren't attached to you know sort of abuses, you know, theyriding, theyr-o'n't thir thinter's raises, you know. Right. You talk about lack of self-help books or grieving groups for loss of a friend. Yes. Why is that? Well I would say it's not like anyone was trying to take my grief away from me. You know, nobody was like, well you don't get to grieve too bad. Just a friend. Yeah, you don't get to do that. sit in the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner. No the corner. No the corner. No th. No th. No that. No that. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No, th. I that's that's that's that's tho. No. No. I wo. I wo. I wo. I wo. I wo. I that. I that. I that. I that. I that. I that. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm th. I'm te. I'm te. I'm tea. I'm tea. I'm tea. I'm toooooooooooooooooo. I te. I t bad. Just a friend. You don't get to do that. Sit in the corner.

No, but it just felt like the structure of life, of the self-help books, of the internet is very much loss of a spouse, loss of a child, God forbid, you know, loss of a parent. And so in addition to being so confused and hurt by his death, I had the sort of extra patina of thinking, do I have a right to to to to to to to to to get to get to get to get th.... th. th. thuuuu. th. the the, I the, I the, I the, I'm the, I the, I the, I the, but I the, I'm just the the, but I the strue, but I the structure, but I the structure, but I the structure, but I the structure, but I the structure, but I the structure, the st. the structure, the structure, the structure, the structure, the structure, the st. But, the st. But, I the st. But, I'm the the the, I'm the, I'm the the the the, I'm the, I'm just, I'm just, I'm the, I'm the, I'm theaneateateateateate. toe. theateateate. theateateate. theateate. theate, the the, the the his death, I had the sort of extra patina of thinking, do I have a right to this? How much, I'm trying to get purchase on it, how much of it is mine? And it turns out about 200 pages worth is mine. Yeah.

It can feel very serious, but there's humor. And are you looking for the humor, or are you a person who writes your truth the world you're in and humor is there? This old thing? Yeah, yeah, that old thing. No, I mean it is, the truth is is I have always been humor. I'm asking not for them because it's like, do you try to be funny? Yeah, not for them. Do you t that what I have and what I imagine you have as well in replace of poetry maybe are analogies and observations and sort of this abject exasperation at the world, and that's how I see and describe the world.

So the humor, you know, in my more traditional humor essays, there's a better sort of alignment, I suppose, between the topic and how I'm telling the story. With a grief book, I think it hopefully gives the book more texture and or will offend massive amounts of people. No, it won't. It's not. It's an excellent read. Why are we afraid to say grief? Why are we afraid to talk about it? I find talking about death, especially North American culture, it's like keep it down. Why? Tell me the answer to this existential question. Oh, that I'm... That's why you're here. I'm... I'm specifically... No, but you have a good input on, you have a good thought on how to speak to people who are grieving or...

So I... And why, sorry, on why it is that we talk about it so little, why is there a little bit of an air right now? A squeamishness. Because there's grief and there's sadness. Well, especially the kind of, the kind of death this is, is very scary. When we say, we don't necessarily say your cancer, or a cancer, would you say a suicide, or your suicide, his suicide. It's like we give it, it's like hot coal and we give it back to the dead person as fast as we possibly can.

And I think because we're frightened for ourselves as we well should be, but I think the only way around that is to discuss it more and to talk about it and to be asked questions about it. You know, in the wake of Russell's death, people would often say, did you know, which I I don't have the best reaction to, because I don't know if it's for me or for him. Yeah. But I like to talk about. What should you say? Well, I mean, first of all, you should say whatever the hell you want to say. As long as it's, I'm not trying to police people's reaction to grief, the grief, to grief, to grief, to grief, to grief, to grief, to grief, to grief, to grief, to grief, to grief, to grief, to grief, to grief, the to grief, their, their, their, their, their, thr, their, thi, thi, to, thi, thi, thi, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, they. Yeah, they. Yeah, to, to, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, you, I'm not, you know, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, thin, thin, th th th th th thoomorrow, thoomorrow, toea, toea, to grief as long as it's authentic and it's sincere and not just sort of rubbernecking at a horror story and using your you know grief for

this I think you should just go with declarative statements I you did eat in the way well sort of yeah where you said you know you said tell me about him right I wish I knew him must have been wonderful what a big life that's more than this one moment. That's beautiful. I've heard you say, part of grief is becoming on the side of the living once again. Explain that to me. Well, if you've ever grieved someone, you know that especially right away, there's this sort of almost embarrassing thing I felt, which is I was receiving all of these wonderful condolences and I felt like I was ill-equipped or did not have

the shelving to accept them because everybody had committed the sin of not being able to bring my friend back and I just wanted to do whatever he wanted to do so we had a memorial service I I turned into what I call in the book a funeral zilla, where I was just like, is it hard to shut down Fifth Avenue for an hour? Maybe we should, why are these programs not bound with ribbon? Where is the gold, you know, and I'm like, okay, somebody needed to sort of pull me aside and say, you know he's not going to be going to the memorial service?

And honestly at that, no, I did not know that. Right. So is it like changing that focus to back to present tense? Yes, and also changing to what he would want. Do you know, because again, even and especially with someone who dies by suicide, they are more than their last act of free will. And we had an entire friendship and an entire life together where I know that he wanted more for me than to just focus on him. Yeah. It's a beautiful book. You will laugh. You will think, I promise you, but it's also a tribute to your friend Russell. Thank you for chatting with us very much. I appreciate it. Grief is, grief is for people, is available now. Sloan Crosley everybody, and we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back after this. Thank you. Thank you so much.

but how many of them come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast.
