The Daily Show: Ears Edition - Platner Calls It Quits in Maine Race & Trump’s Qatari Bribe Plane Gets Grounded | Aaron Chen

Episode Date: July 10, 2026

Ronny Chieng dives into Trump having to put his pre-owned, Qatar-gifted Air Force One in the shop due to security concerns, and Graham Platner drops out of the Maine Senate race in disgrace but still wants a say in his replacement (and sorry, it won't be Patrick Dempsey). Plus, as Democrats scramble to find another bro-ified candidate for Maine, Desi Lydic throws her trucker hat in the ring. AI is disrupting everything, including the midterms, and Jordan Klepper breaks down how politicians are harnessing the world's most annoying technology to smear their opponents, depict themselves as superheroes, and even engage in some good old-fashioned pandering by making it look like they have lots of Black friends. Comedian and actor Aaron Chen joins Ronny to discuss his new Apple TV comedy film, "The Dink." They talk about meeting when Aaron was 16 years old in the Australian comedy world, ushering in a new era of sports comedies with greats like Jake Johnson, Ben Stiller, and Mary Steenburgen, and teaching tennis champ Andy Roddick everything to know about acting for his film debut. -- CarShield is offering our listeners 20% off with the code TDS at https://CarShield.com/TDS -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

The most trusted journalists at Comedy Central. It's America's only sorts for news. This is The Daily Show with your host, Ronnie. So much to talk about tonight. Donald Trump is forced to fly in a plane that isn't a bribe. Campaign ads are dishonors in new and exciting ways. And Democrats send Graham Platner to live on an oyster farm upstate. So let's get into the headlines.

President Trump is back from Turkey after his... incredible NATO summit where everyone loved him and agreed his idea to restart the war with Iran was super smart. Unfortunately, his flight back wasn't quite as luxurious as his flight there. This morning, new questions about the security of President Trump's new Quddery-gifted Air Force One. The Secret Service urged the President to depart Turkey in the older Air Force One instead of the new jet as a safety precaution amid escalating tensions with Iran. Okay, first off, uh, how do you feel? fly back on a different plane.

Like, what I mean, did they, did they bring both Air Force Ones? Is that why there's no gas in the world anymore? Because the president flies with an extra emotional support plane? Also, you know what happens anytime they switch planes on you, okay? Trump definitely lost his luggage. He is, he's calling them like, hey, did you guys find a box? It says Epstein Files. Don't open it.

And of course, and of course, we had to abandon the Quateri plane for security concerns. Of course that happened. This is why when it comes to the most important plane in the world, you don't go certified pre-owned. America should spring for a new one. And Trump should give the Quattar plane to... I don't know, give it to Southwest. I'll fly in it. I don't care if they spy on me.

What are you going to do? Find out I'm watching my own movies on the entertainment system. I'm not ashamed. I'm great in them. But let's move on from this story about a thing that looked cool but turned out to be a bit shady to something completely different.

Grand Platner. You remember Graham Platner, the Senate candidate who had a Nazi tattoo, a cheating scandal, and tons of offensive Reddit posts? Well, brace yourself, because something bad came out about it. Overnight in the most closely watched Senate race in the nation, Maine Democrat Graham Platner's scandal-plagued campaign coming to a dramatic end.

The announcement following an arduous three-day collapse of Platner's candidacy after an ex-girlfriend accused him of sexual assault, which he denies. This is incredibly difficult because I know that some will think it's an admission of guilt, and it most certainly is not. Okay. I mean, it is a little suspicious.

It's like being at a party where the toilet's overflowing, all of a sudden I'm like, okay, everyone, I have to leave immediately. No one read into this, please. Obviously, Platner had to drop out once there was credible sexual assault allegations. I mean, at that point, the only person in Maine who might still vote for him is Susan Collins. The question is, how could this happen? How could the people in Maine have picked this guy to run in the first place?

He was picked to run not by people in Maine or from Maine, but by consultants for highly progressive movements. The initial headhunters, Dan Moraff and Leanne Fawn, told Mr. Plattner, he was the one, a hero of the movement. I think it was the spring of 2025, and we went through thousands and thousands of prospects. Is this guy going through puberty in real time? But hey, grown-up McLevin and the lady who runs a cat cafe,

They're professionals, right? How did they shit the bed so hard? At this point, you hadn't vetted Grand Platner. You hadn't done a full scrub of who he is. How did you go about vetting him? And why did you... We paid... These people, the kingmakers.

This is why we need to stop taking political advice from Dungeons and Dragons Pollucles. These Napoleon dynamite-looking dork was so excited to find someone who looked like an authentic main man, they failed to do that due diligence. But however Planner got there, now he's officially out. The best thing he can do is step aside and get out of the way. Now reports say the disgrace candidate wants to help pick his replacement.

I'm not trying to dictate to anyone who it should be or how we get there, but I will say this. It needs to be reflecting the will and the values of the people that built this man. movement. Okay, buddy, you've done enough, okay? That's not really up to you. You didn't even have the job. You were an applicant. Okay, when I blew my interview with Orange Julius in high school, I didn't stick around to tell the manager, okay, fine, I'm leaving, but you have to hire someone as edgy as me. But look, don't worry. There's tons of qualified people from Maine, and I know just the perfect guy.

Patrick Dempsey said he seriously considered a bid but decided he does not want to serve in Congress. Ah, that was my only idea. I can't believe a rich actor who's so handsome that people literally call him McDreamy doesn't want to be a senator. It seems like an awesome opportunity to make less money while also having to talk to John Federman

about ocean fishing rights. All right, Maine, there's got to be another option. Who else you got? Democrats are already jumping into the race to replace Plattener, including Maine beer company founder, Dan Cleben, and Troy Jackson, a logger who served in the state Senate. Oh, man, a beer brewer and a logger? Jesus, everyone in Maine is so rugged.

Why don't they just run a lobster who does drywall? For more on the Democratic search to replace Grand Platiner, let's go live to Maine with senior political correspondent Desi Leideck. Desi, what are you doing? Tell you what I'm doing, bra? I'm in Maine announcing my candidacy for the Senate. Yeah, but why are you dressed like that? Well, Broski, it seems to me

that Democratic consultants just want someone stereotypically masculine. Instead, you know, someone who's actually good. So I said, fuck it, I'm in. Let's go hunt moose and jack off. This is ridiculous. What Democrats need are policy ideas. And besides, I don't think you're capturing

the nuances of true masculinity. It's not what your mom said last night, pussy. Okay, yeah, that's actually pretty close. Okay, you... Damn straight. Now, let's win this election so I could fire up the grill and jack off. Okay, hold up. You still need a platform. What are you even running on?

Great question, Professor. I'll tell you what I told the folks at the lumberyard. We need to lower prices. Us dudes are getting crushed by the cost of chips, dip, toilet paper for our sloppy dumps. You know what I'm talking about, Ronnie. Let's get crunked, jack off. Okay.

No, I'm saying that. Can't help it. I love tug it on my penis. My dick's redder than a boil lobster off my fishing. So, do you work at a lumber yard or on a fishing boat? Yes. I do all the manly jobs that somehow make me electable. Beer brewing, tree punching,

restocking, restocking Boondock Saints DVDs. And the only payment I take is a good old-fashioned handshake, also Bitcoin. Okay, okay, we get it. You're manly. But that doesn't make you a good candidate.

Main voters deserve someone serious. Hey, I am serious. Like every manly man, all my emotions are bottled up. I bury my trauma and vulnerabilities deep down inside where my inner child hides. Just building a wall around my heart so the only time that I can even feel anything, anything at all,

is when I'm jacking off. Desi, there is no way voters are going to fall for this, okay? They can see right through what you're doing. Oh, oh, is that right? Guess what? I'm already up 40 points in the polls. Holy shit. I guess voters really do just want hollow male stereotypes?

Yeah, that's right. Hey, Ronnie, do you like apples? Well, how do you like jacking all? Stop saying that. And this is a lecture zone. Go away. Starting a business is a massive milestone. But Shopify makes the execution simpler.

So to analyze all the campaign stories, we turn to Jordan Klepper in our indecision analesone.

Hello there, I'm Jordan Klepper, and this is the analesone. We're ready to raw dog the midterms. Tonight, let's turn our sites to technology. Now, politicians have always used it to reach voters. FDR pioneered the use of radio. Bill Clinton was the first politician to embrace the Internet, And of course, Lincoln debated Douglas on Dance Dance Revolution. But this campaign season, we're seeing a new technology emerge,

and it is sloptacular. A new era in U.S. political ads has dawned for better or worse, AI deep fake ads, highly manipulated content designed to convince even the most skeptical audiences. I guess time flies when you're getting rich off the taxpayers. Free bus rides for illegals. We ended cash bail so that we would stop punishing people who commit brutal crimes against our fellow New Yorkers, like this nice young man.

Want some crack? Come on. She has a very busy job. Of course she wants some crack. Regardless, this election season is all about the world's most annoying people using the world's most annoying technology to trick America's grandmothers. Like in Vermont, the only state where it's legal

to marry a covered bridge. Representative, Becca Ballint is running for re-election, and one of our opponents, Mark Kirster, reposted this video. Straws are banned, and if those farmers don't like it, they can leave. We are taking Vermont back. I'm going to slash taxes and tax away your powers. Real people deserve a better life and cheaper living. Nobody in Vermont dresses like a French puppet. Help fight back against evil. Help Vermont take it. Vermont?

Yeah, the people of Vermont are sick to death. of those French puppets. I mean, it feels like if you're going to run for office, first thing to do is learn to spell your home state. Also, also, how dare you throw a woman in the garbage? This is Vermont! You compost her. Come on. But if you want to make your opponent seem really crazy,

you've got to kick it up a notch. That's what happened to Texas Democrat James Tala Rica, whose likeness appeared in this not-so-subtle AI-generated TV ad. Boys in white dresses with blue satin sashes. Girls dust with hormones till they grow moustaches. Changing the gender of all your offspring. These are a few of my favorite things.

Wow. Transphobia has never sounded so melodic. I mean, Tala Rico really hitting the high sea there. If politics don't work out, I know a regional theater doing a production of guys transitioning to dolls. And believe me, It is. It's as bad as you think it is. But AI isn't just for tearing down your opponents.

For candidates like Jay Collins and Mike Rogers, it's also about making yourself look tough. They're not just boring white guys. They are ripped superheroes. Like Captain America or The Hulk or Business Casual Man. Ready to fight crime with his three-way stretch dungarees. And if those images don't make sense to you, Don't worry. The candidates don't seem to mind whether any of these AI ads are coherent at all.

Like this one. Reposted by one-time Louisiana Senate candidate John Fleming. Some politicians leave footprints in the sand. Others leave flip-flops in the mud. Warning. excessive flip-flopping may cause confusion, dizziness, contradictory campaign messages, debate avoidance. Those legs! Is he running against the mayor of that beach that makes you old? Also, what does it mean?

Some politicians leave footprints in the sand. Everyone leaves footprints in the sand. That's how sand works. Some politicians leave footprints in the sand. But not Julia Letlow. She's a ghost. Now, these ads were obviously made with AI. But what's really risky is when you try to slip it by people and you get caught.

And this is a picture posted by Duval County School Board. candidate. And it depicts black people as supporters. But this is the original picture with Clarence James. It shows him with two other people. Not that same big group of people we just showed you. Come on. You don't need to do that, Clarence. You had a perfectly good picture with two black friends. Just take the win. Also, come on, man, you're running for school board. You need like six votes. And you're probably going to win the black vote. Your name is Clarence James. I literally thought you were a blues singer.

I mean, lying about having black friends is shameless. You know who would hate this? My good friend, Josh Johnson. I mean, maybe even... Maybe even my best friend. He would definitely hate this. And to prevent misleading photos like that, some states have rules that candidates

do have to disclose when they've used AI. And that's why Michigan Senate my number. Minority leader Eric Nesbit included this to end his AI campaign ad. America was never great, bro. Michigan law requires me to tell you that this video was generated completely by artificial intelligence. Really? Thank you. Thank you for clarifying that the Statue of Liberty did not, in fact, come to life at Ethan Mayer. Thank you. Of course, the real giveaway that this ad was AI is they spelled Eric with an A. That's chat GPT if I've ever...

Wait, what's that? What's... Oh, that's actually how he spells his name? Eric with an A. Apparently, that's how you spell it in Varmont. Look. Look, it's easy to laugh at these AI ads, but they could be a real threat to our democracy.

So, stay vigilant. Don't be tricked. Especially you, Nana. That's right. My grandmother is one of my many, many black friends, so keep your eyes open, America.

Please welcome Aaron Chen.

Thanks for coming on the show. Thanks for having me. I brought you something. Oh, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Oh good. Thanks for having me on. This is what a dream, the daily. show, it's kind of like the Avengers of the Resistance. I guess, yeah. Yeah, they certainly see it as that.

I see myself more of a Thanos type, too. Thanks for coming on the show. People don't know, first of all, that you're Australian. Yes. And that's normal for you and me, because we live there. But there's a lot of people watching right now who are like, why the fuck are you talking like this? Can you explain what you're from?

Australia? Yeah. Yeah. Australia is an island nation kind of in the southern hemisphere. So you came and lived in Australia for a little while. I was born there. You were born there. So I sound like this.

Yes, and I don't sound like that. Even though I have known you since you are 16 years old. Yeah, it's crazy. I've been 18. So this kid, we were doing stand-up comedy in Australia, and he would come into the comedy clubs to do comedy because he's a prodigy as stand-up. but he was so young that he couldn't get in the goddamn clubs.

So he had to have a legal guardian with him. So his sister were taken by the hand and walk him into the bar and promised people he wouldn't drink any alcohol just so that he could get some stage time to tell jokes. And look at him now. Now he's picking him over there. These Australian Asians just strolling into New York City and you think you can just walk onto the Daily Show,

like that and you can and you can and you can and you can and you can and you can't do it it's really easy there's not even security yeah you're in this movie now it's a big movie well yeah you have been a big mentor to me oh okay oh oh sorry no no that's really nice right that is nice you you caught everyone off god with the sincerity including me that's a pump fake it's a pump fake yeah but Yeah, I'm glad I was able to show you the pathway to escape Australia, I guess. Australia is a nice place. You have had a long campaign against Australia. You don't like it.

I'm okay. I wouldn't say a campaign. I married an Australian. So how much do I hate it? Yeah. I'm like the white guy who married Asian whites. I'm like, how can I be racist? My wife is Asian.

How can I hate Australia? My wife is Australian. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Do you think you learned everything you knew from Australia? No, hell no. I went to, I mean, I went to law school there. and then I learned how to do comedy there.

But other than that, I mean, but you, like, why did you leave Australia? If it's so good, why the f*** did you leave? Let's go back. I left Australia because there's a lot of stand-up comedy here, huh? Yeah. There's a lot more, the microphones are really high quality here. In Australia, we, it's kind of, it's very nice,

but it's in the dark ages. Like a lot of the microphones, we have, have like a cup with string on it. And only one person at a time can listen to the... And everyone in the crowd is kangaroos. So how did you get into this movie?

I got in... Oh, I got you another gift. Okay. Okay, okay. This is used. Yeah, I found it in the Hudson River. Just... By the way, I'm the... I'm the one who... This movie's are...

Pickleball. If you can, your publicist is getting so mad right, and haven't promoted the goddamn movie. Let me promote it for you. Thank you. I guess I'm your mentor. I'm your Fri-Manager now. So he's doing... Go ahead. So he's in a movie called The Dink on Apple TV. It's about pickleball. I'm also the one who introduced you to pickleball.

You are. Yeah, I'm the one who got your come down and play. My wife plays pickleball very competitively. She has a pickleball academy, which I joined. Yeah. Yeah. And this was the first, because we don't... You owe your career to me. This whole thing. And you let me know that regularly.

Thank you. Thanks for reminding me. At 3 a.m. lots of text messages. Like, you owe me everything. But, yeah, I never heard of pickleball before I came to America. And then your wife said, come to this underground place. Be careful. Don't tell police where you're going and stuff like that.

And she taught me the way of pickleball. Biggle ball, right. When you first played it, were you like, what's this bullshit? or were you into it? I loved it. That's not true, because you're a tennis guy. I, yeah, that's actually the plot of the movie.

I know, I know, I'm trying to, dude, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, you're very good at this. Yeah, that's how you get out of Australia, you gotta be good. Wow, it's better when you don't mention the mechanics of interviewing and stuff. Yeah, we saw, it's too much of the sausage being made, but because you are a tennis guy, so you, when you first saw it, you're like, this is some kids game. kids game. Well, I played a lot of table tennis as well. So it's like in between both of those

things. It's very colorful. I'm kind of, have a very small mind medically. And so it was entertaining to me, pickleball. Okay. So I guess you're a double minor minority. You're Asian and mentally ill, I guess. But what, so what is the, when you play pickleball, what was your first impression of it? Like, are you like, are you, as a tennis guy, you thumbs up? up to pickleball, you're like, this is bullshit. It's fun. It's very easy to get started. There's no learning curve.

There's nothing wrong with it. I have no problems with pickleball. A lot of people have problems. A lot of the tennis guys on set at the movie, they're like, we don't like pickleball. So transition into talking about the movie. Oh, yeah. And no, so the movie is about a tennis guy,

and he, that's all I know. That's not true because this is a big role and you're like in half the movie. I am in half the movie. So it's about, yeah, but the other half I don't know about. It's about half you're in. The half I'm in is about Jake Johnson. He's a washed up tennis star who lost a game of tennis to Andy Roddick. And I play his friend and Mary Steenbergin.

She is superstar of comedy. teaches Jake about pickleball. And she's evil. She's like villain. Okay, don't give the whole thing. Don't give the whole thing away. And then they have to team up to... Don't give it away, don't give it away.

But I watched it, and I'm not just saying this because you guys pay me money to say this. But it's actually a great movie, and congratulations. Super funny. It's a super funny movie. It's almost like a throwback kind of movie. I mean, to these kind of like 90s sports comedies, you know? And it doesn't feel paint by numbers. So for me, like a great comedy sports movie, like, for example, like Happy Gilmore, like every scene, it's compelling, right? And you never want to turn away.

And also every scene of the movie, you know where you are in the movie. You know what every character wants. And this movie has that. Every scene is funny, of course. It's a real comedy movie. They had a lot of creative freedom. There were no kind of gatekeepers involved. like Ben Stiller produced it,

and then Jake Johnson is the lead in it. The director's called Josh Greenbaum, and he's a major comedy guy written by Sean Clements. And then Mary Steenbergen, who's like kind of legend of comedy, she said to me that reading the script that reminded me of stepbrothers. Right, right. Yeah, so it's cool.

Yeah. And this is always your dream, right, to escape the minor leagues of Australia, to come to... Yeah. There were no Australians involved apart from me, so you like that. I love that. That's why it's good. It's good, yeah, yeah.

And you know, you know, all these clips are going to go in Australia, and we're going to get, you know, we're going to get, like, the far right elected because of this conversation. They're going to be like, these f***-che in there. That would be a funny, unintended consequence. It would be great, yeah. I'm about to tour in Australia, so, yeah, we don't like you. Nothing matters anymore. But yeah, yeah, yeah.

So you haven't explained how you got involved in this movie? Oh, I got an email. Okay. And then, yeah, they were, like, kind of send an audition tape, and then I put the iPhone on the tripod. Okay. And my friend Sam Campbell, who's Australian. I know, he's on camera.

Yeah, and he read the other lines, and then I read the lines they told me to read. And they saw that, and then they were like, we, that's acceptable. And you did it like that. That's how you did it. That's all, that's what they told me kind of to do.

And I just followed all the instructions and they were like, yeah, this is, that's what we want. And next thing you know, you're on set in this. I'm on set and they, um, yeah. And then. Did they give you a script at least? Or were you just, were you even acting in this movie? Or were you just?

They, so what they do is they give you this script. And you have to just read the script. stuff with your name on it. You know, like, and then when it gets to you, you say it. And then, yeah, you work, you do work it out. Work out. It's pretty intuitive.

Okay. Yeah, but when I, when I, yeah, Andy Roddick acted for the first time in this movie. Yeah, and he was very, he was very natural to it, but I taught him kind of everything about acting. I like, see where it says Andy? Yeah. You're gonna want to say some of those, you know, like.

And yeah, so he's indebted to me the way I'm indebted to you. Yeah, I hear it. And as a tennis guy, you're in the scene, I don't give it away, but you're yelling at Andy Roddick. Yes. And it's super funny. Were you at all, you know, weirded out by having to day one just yell at Andy Roddick? This guy you know from...

Actor Long... Yeah. I don't know. I feel like it was a missed opportunity because, yeah, I love sports, but the whole time, like, offstage, I was talking to him about Australian tennis player Nick Curios. But I could have asked him about so many things. But I wasn't nervous to hang out with Andy because he was just so nice. Right. And he was in kind of, he was in the entertainment world for the first time, you know? So he was like fish out of water. So he was more nervous than you were? Yeah, you kind of used that against him and stuff.

Right, right. in the scenes. And be like, Andy, that's not how we do things here. You know, like. Right, on your first movie. Yeah. That's great. But he doesn't know that, because he doesn't know who I am.

That's great. And yeah, man, you managed to come here, you managed to blaze it. It's very cool. It's very cool that you, I got to see you come up as a kid, and you were always killing it in the clubs, and you managed to sell out theaters in Australia, and then you, you followed me here to New York City. Yeah, I'm following it in your footsteps.

Yeah, and then now you're killing it in your clubs. New York City, man. Everyone in New York City speaks very highly of you. And I'm so glad you got your Netflix special I just came out. It's super funny. Check it out. It's called Aaron Chen Something Something, I don't know. And you've got this new Hollywood movie, and it's a real return to form.

This movie is not just a movie. It's a great, fun comedy movie that doesn't make you want to kill herself afterwards. And also, you're in half of it. You're not just a small role. You're a major character. You're a major character in the thing. And you know, you're playing it. You're downplaying it.

But it's a huge achievement, man. You're awesome. Thank you very much. Congratulations. Thanks for having me. You're the best, man. You're the best, man. The day will be available globally on Apple TV, July 24. Aaron Chen, everybody. We'll go out here a quick break, but we're right back after this.
