The Daily Show: Ears Edition - SOTU Recap: Trump Gets Tarantino-Gory & Award-Crazy in Record-Long Address | Jonathan Haidt & Catherine Price

Episode Date: February 26, 2026

Desi Lydic recaps Donald Trump's record-long State of the Union address – which was part true crime podcast, part white noise machine –  including the the GOP waking up with rock-hard glutes from all the standing ovations they gave and the president giving out awards to every person in attendance... except for Troy Iwata. Jordan Klepper spotlights LindellTV, a 24/7 news outlet from an innovative media pioneer: The My Pillow Guy. Filled with A-list MAGA members, original rap music, ads within ads, and technical difficulties, LindellTV is asking the tough questions, like “Why does Trump look healthier than ever before?” Bestselling author of "The Anxious Generation" Jonathan Haidt and bestselling author of "How to Break Up with Your Phone" Catherine Price join Desi to discuss their new collaboration, "The Amazing Generation: Your Guide to Fun and Freedom in a Screen-Filled World." They talk about teaching kids how to own their lives so tech doesn’t own them, comprising a “rebel code” that prioritizes real friendship, freedom, and fun over phones, how parents can create a structured space and time for screens within homes, and why we should press our government to intervene in the mental health crisis caused by big tech. --- For a limited time, our listeners get 50% off FOR LIFE, Free Shipping, AND 3 Free Gifts at Mars Men at Mengotomars.com --- (00:00) State of the Union Recap (06:26) Troy Iwata Wants a Medal (11:51) Jordan Klepper On LindellTV (21:23) Guests Jonathan Haidt & Catherine Price (35:12) Moment of Zen Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode is brought to you by Ninja Lux Cafe, the three-and-one machine that makes espresso, drip coffee, and cold brew. No barista skills required. 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, Desi Lydens. Tonight, the state of our union is rated R.

Democrats take a protest nap, and the MyPillow guy has a news channel that's even shittier than his pillows, so let's get into the headlines. He gave the longest state of the union address in history, just beating out Harry Truman's performance of the vagina monologues. But honestly, it didn't feel long.

It felt endless. That's because I wasn't sleeping through it, unlike some people. Is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe. pillar of the American dream that has been under attack is home ownership. With us tonight is Ray So Wiggins, a mom of two from Houston.

As Democrats are woke. Black History Month by also having a dream. But let's not focus on length, let's focus on girth, by which I mean the content of the speech. Mr. President, what is your message on the state of our union? Our nation is back. Bigger, better, richer, and stronger. than ever before. This is the golden age of America.

That's great news. I actually think an optimistic, uplifting state of the Union might be just what the country needs right now. Let's hear more about this golden age. Drug lords, murders all over our country. Killed and maimed thousands.

Ambushed and shot in the head. Shot violently in the head. One bullet after another. Violently and viciously. We're talking about the edge of that. Part of this is the Golden Age. Can we just get back to the uplifting optimism?

Gushing blood, which was flowing back down the aisle, viciously slashed, bleeding profusely. Blood all over. Shredding his leg into numerous pieces. Unbelievable what's happened to his legs. The violence. Was this the State of the Union

speech or a Quentin Tarantino movie? All it's missing is Uma Thurman's bare feet. There's nothing wrong with honor. Americans who have been through tragedies, but we used to have presidents who could do that without sounding like a six-year-old dismembering his GI Joe's. Now, the speech wasn't just two hours

of Donald Trump traumatizing America. One reason that the speech went so long was because Republicans kept interrupting with applause breaks, which Trump would just bask in, rotating back and forth like he was stuck on oscillating fan mode. Guys, he's stuck. How do I get him back to regular? Push or pull? Do I push or do I pull?

But the Democrats stayed seated almost the entire night, and you could tell it started to get under Trump's skin. How do you not stand? How do you not stand? You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourself. Look, nobody stands up. These people are crazy. Mr. President, I will have you know that the Democrats are not standing because they are outraged by your tyranny. and lawless behavior. And also, they are asleep right now. Shh. You know, Mr. President,

let's forget about the golden age and yelling at Democrats for not applauding you. Why don't you just focus on telling us the state of the Union now? Here with us tonight is a group of winners who just made the entire nation proud. The men's gold medal Olympic hockey team. Come on in.

Hey, great. Nice to give the hockey team a shout out. All right, give a wave and smile. They got strip clubs to get to. But now that we've gone through that, back to the State of the Union. I will soon be presenting Connor with our highest civilian honor

the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Okay, great. Didn't need to do that here, but sure, one quick award. Let's not turn this whole thing into a big award show. I will ask the First Lady of the United States to present Captain Royce Williams

with his Congressional Medal of I present Chief Warrant Officer Slover with the Congressional Medal of Honor. I am now awarding you the Legion of Merit. It's called the Purple Heart. Wow, he didn't just give out one award, he gave out all the awards. Guess the state of our union was, come on down. Now, you could be cynical and say that it seems like Trump has so few accomplishments of his own that he was trying to draft off of the actual heroism of other people and

But, hey, at least he's giving awards to other people for a change instead of demanding that they give one to him. I've always wanted the Congressional Medal of Honor, but I was informed I'm not allowed to give it to myself. And I wouldn't know why I'd be taking it, but if they ever open up that law, I will be there with you someday. Yeah, there he is. Just can't help himself. Trump would have asked for the Purple Heart, but his doctors told him that he had one already. For more on last night's address, let's go live to Washington, D.C. with Troy Iwada.

Room for the speech? You had a seat in the gallery. What was your impression? Yeah, I guess it was fine. I don't know. Some people liked it. Whatever. Okay. What was fine? Or whatever about it? Can you just be more specific? Oh, you want me to be specific? It was specifically shitty, okay? The whole thing sucked. Okay, go away. Go away. Why are you so upset? Because I... I was the only one in the entire room who didn't get an award. Are you happy, Desi?

Like, this is the fourth grade spelling bee all over again. What are you talking about? I spelled the word pigeon with a D. No, I meant about this speech. Why were you expecting an award? Well, I wasn't at first, but then everyone around me started getting awards, Like the Medal of Freedom, the Medal of Honor, a Purple Heart, a Bronze Star, and I went home empty-handed.

Like, what am I? A female director at the Oscars? Bad for me, too. But you weren't there to get an award. You were there as a reporter. Well, that's no consolation when everyone around me is getting them. And for lame stuff. Like, a guy in front of me was honored for having good facial hair. And a woman next to me got a medal for her parallel parking.

and then some bitch got a fancy flag just because her stupid husband died in the stupid Korean War. Like, why can't my husband have died in the Korean War? Because you weren't born yet, and you also don't have a husband. Oh, rub it in. Look, don't let it get to you, all right?

Those awards were just Trump glomming onto other people's glory. I have glory to glom. I have so much glory to glom. I can spell pigeon now, P-I-G-E-O-S-E-E-O-S. D. Damn it! Oh my God, oh my God, you sound just like Mrs. Lombard. I'm sorry, but if you care so much about getting an award, why don't you just enlist in the Army or join a hockey team?

You don't think I tried? After heated rivalry, I thought it'd be great at hockey, but turns out, it turns out hockey is not the part I was great at. So, I don't know, Desi. I guess I'm just not good at anything. I'm never going to get a medal at the State of the Union. I'm never going to be a celebrated widower. Never.

Troy, I hate seeing you like this. Can I do anything to help? I don't know. You could maybe give me an award? Sorry, what? You can give me an award. Give me an award. Troy Iwada on behalf of...

Wait, wait, wait, wait, I'm not ready. United States. I'd like to present you this presidential water bottle. Erica's worst speller of pigeon. Oh, my God. Thank you. T-H-A-N-K-D. No, that's...

So to find out who some of them are, we go to Jordan Klepper. In our ongoing segment, News to Meet You. In today's fragmented media environment, it can be hard to know which news sources you can trust.

Even I don't always know where to turn. If only there was some truth teller out there that would answer the call. I'm here today to announce Lindell TV. We have 24-7 TV with all your favorite hosts. Yes! 24-7 news from the My Pillow Guy. It just makes sense.

When you know Mike Lindell, the former crackhead current candidate for a governor of Minnesota, an inventor of the only pillow stuffed exclusively with shredded lawsuits against Mike Lindell. Now, you may not have seen, Lindell TV because you haven't been in a waiting room of a dentist who uses crystal meth as an anesthetic. So let me introduce you to this innovative media pioneer who lives by a set of core

news values. This Judeo-Christian platform we're going to have here, it's they go by biblical principles. So in other words, you can't, you're not going to have porn up there. You can't say the C word, the N-word, the F-word, and you can't use God's name in vain. What a concept, right? Yeah. An amazing concept.

I'm so tired of Wolf Blitzer showing me porn and calling God a . Now, the elites might tell you that a pillow company that has been banned from Walmart has no business in journalism. But much like his products, Lindel TV is flawless. Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Lindell show here. Edward, I'm getting that feedback

act like crazy again. Can you hear me okay, Vanessa? I can hear you. Okay. How about now? I can hear you. Vanessa, can you hear me? Hear you. At least the 98 people

who have watched this clip can hear you. Lindel TV is so much more than one man in its foyer, aimlessly asking for tactical support. It's cementing its Judeo-Christian legacy with marquee shows. like the war room with Steve Bannon,

where MAGA gets its marching orders from a man losing a forever war with washing his face. Then there's famed Trump supporters Diamond and Silk, featuring Silk and an intro that still honors the legacy of the late Diamond. And I promise you, this is unedited. I wish it was 2003 so I could download that song as my ringtone. Trump's yo president.com.

Download the song, use it as a reentone, to your playlist so you can get your boogie oogie on. It's the classic journalism technique of getting to the who, what, where, and wuggy-uggy of the story. All of it being broadcast from what appears to be Diamond's wake. I mean, look at that painting of Diamond, Trump, and silk tastefully shoved behind an ottoman. Everything so meticulously arranged by Lindel TV's production designer

slash funeral director. But if you still need more news, There's the Rudy Giuliani show, which, like Diamond and Silk, also appears to be hosted by a dead person. Good evening. This is Rudy Giuliani, and this is Rudy Giuliani show on Lindell TV. Live from Death's Door, it's Rudy Giuliani.

He's us. That's with a full body brace, man. Whoa, apparently Lindel TV doesn't offer sick days for a collapsed spine. But they're probably, Programming is vast. There's scriptures and Wall Street, the counterculture mom show, and Maha with Mike. And you know what, trust me. This Mike guy is sharp. Good morning, Maha Nation. This is Maha Bike.

Oh, oh. Did he say Maha Bike? I missed it by this much. Not to go all lame stream media, but I'm going to have to fact check you on your own name there. Bichael. Now, sorry, Mike. Look, you might argue a network of this caliber belongs nowhere near the White House. And to that, I say, they're already in the White House. Starting with Lindell TV reporter Kara Castronova, who isn't afraid to hold this administration's feet to the fire. Will you guys also consider releasing the president's fitness plan? He actually looks healthier than ever before. He's healthier than he did eight years ago. And I'm sure everybody in this room could Is he working out with Bobby Kennedy,

and is he eating less McDonald's? Yes. Quick follow-up. How does he get those round, sweet, cinnabund ankles, huh? And hand bruises so taut, you could sink a quarter into him. But despite Lindell TV's trove of magnetic on-air personalities, it's easy to forget the real star of the network. The ads for Mike Lindell's products. It's finally here, our second annual mega sale.

sale. My new towels with proprietary technology. My copy is now available on mypillow.com. That's Lindell Oilboom.com. Start collected oil royalty checks. The next generation of energy drinks. Rev 7. I'm so sure you're going to love Rev 7 that for a limited time, you can try our three-pack absolutely free or check out our Perkale bedsheets. He's doing a bed sheet ad inside an energy drink ad. Hopped up on caffeine, he keeps shitting his sheets. Don't call it quits, reload. But this is what new media looks like.

It's not so much ad-supported news as it is news-supported ads. And it might be easy to write off Lindell TV as Q&NQVC. But the fact is, they're the ones living in the Pentagon briefing room, while the traditional news media is dead outside. If only there was a way to send off

those dearly departed reporters with a little bit of dignity. I'm Jordan Klepper. Good night and seriously, good for a lot.

Statistics show that most men start losing testosterone around age 30, decreasing by about 1% every year after that. This can to a feeling of moving through mud, where workouts and daily tasks feel twice as hard as they

used to. Often the issue is in production, its accessibility. There's a protein called SHBG that essentially acts like handcuffs for testosterone.

They teamed up to write The Amazing Generation, your guide to fun and freedom in a screen-filled world. Please welcome Jonathan Height and Catherine Price. You got a lot of fans here. A lot of people out here read The Anxious Generation.

I mean, Jonathan, your previous book, The Anxious Generation, really sparked a huge conversation all over the world about the effects that social media and our smartphones have on our kids. Talk about what you've observed since the book came out. Yeah. Well, so when the book came out in 2024, I'd focused on the effects of social media on teen mental health. And so one thing I've discovered is that I grossly understated

the damage that's being done. Because since then, we've got a lot more evidence about the cognitive deficits, that's the inability to pay attention, especially because of short videos. There's a lot more research now that short videos are, really are rotting brains. I mean, it's not a joke.

It is truly, well, okay, it's not literally rotting brains, but it makes me work less well. And not the daily show short videos. Correct. Those are good for the brain. Those are educational. All those other garbage videos. Yeah, real news is helpful.

And then the other thing that we also know now is that test scores are going down, and IQ is going down. We didn't know that a few years ago, around the world. So 50 years of progress in education to 2012 ended, and now test scores are going down. And so the damage from this phone-based childhood

is far beyond what I said in the anxious generation. That's one of the, that's the downside. OK. Can I give you the upside too? Please, by all means. The upside is that as soon as the book came out, mothers around the world stood up and said, let's go. Yeah.

So just in the first two years, in the first year, We got 40 US states have put limits on phones. 20 did it right, phone free for the whole day. Australia is the first country in the world to raise the age to 16 for social media. And in the last, just in the last four weeks, a dozen countries have said they're gonna follow. So we are at a global turning.

Catherine, you wrote a book called How to Break Up with your phone and The Power of Fun. Now, you're very passionate about the idea of kids and adults setting aside their phones to embrace fun. Explain this elusive concept of fun. What is this, you speak? I have an entire Venn diagram, but I will not go into that right now.

But I would say that, yes, I broke up with my own phone. I realized, oh my goodness, I need to figure out how to fill my time. And that's how I wrote the power of fun. And what I realized is that the tech companies are promising us and our children that their products are fun. But that's actually fake fun. Because what real fun is, is the feeling that you get

when you're with people in real life together, totally connected, having a playful experience. And the two of you joined forces to write this incredible book, The Amazing Generation. I have a 10-year-old at home. I already gave it to him. I mandated him to read for a certain amount of time. But I will tell you that when his time was up,

he continued to read. So here's what I love about this book, is you really, you don't water it down for the kids. You give it to him straight. You say, if you don't own your life, tech will own you. What went behind the decision to be so honest and straightforward? Yeah.

Well, the challenge for us was how to make a version of the book for kids, and I sure can't write for kids. And so we put out a – we were looking for a co-author, and I'd met Catherine, apart from seeing her amazing TED talk on The Power of Fun. And it was really Catherine's idea about how to make this a book that kids would actually enjoy, and that I'm thrilled to hear that your son actually enjoyed it. Can I just suggest next time don't mandate it? just like put it in front of him and be a little more subtle. But anyway, back to Catherine.

All right, don't dad explain to me, okay? Should I slip it in his lunchbox? Is that what you do? That's very subtle. Yeah. So anyway, so Catherine figured out how to do, how to put in a graphic novel, how to put in all kinds of testimonials from older kids.

And the net effect, we're here. Like, you look at the Amazon reviews. Kids are reading it, and then they're saying, mom, I don't want a smartphone when I start middle school. So we're just really thrilled, and it was Catherine's idea how to do that. I appreciate that. But I think that's really what's been so exciting

because we were just talking about what is a win for this book. And as many people may know, the anxious generation talks about getting phones out of schools, more independence, free play, and responsibility in the real world, and then having kids not have smartphones till at least high school and not have social media till at least 16. Well, the ultimate win is if kids decide that for themselves. And so that was really the goal of this book. And we told them the truth.

You know, I think that's why kids are reacting to it in the way they are, where they're actually making these decisions because they realize we're being manipulated, and they don't like to be manipulated. And so it's truly, really exciting to hear from parents and families who feel like for the first time ever, they're on the same side when it comes to screens.

It was really remarkable to see all of the feedback from young people, from teenagers, from kids, from kids in their 20s who were looking back. Were you surprised by the willingness of young people to give up their phones and say, you know what, this is what I want, my life is better? Well, based on how to break up with your phone, I would say it wasn't surprised when people actually put their phones down and reconnect with real life, that they tend to realize it is better and that it's actually easier than they had feared.

I think, though, that I'm personally very excited, and I think you'd agree to just see how quickly the younger generation has accepted this message and gotten excited about it. We frame this basically as an invitation to Gen Alpha, which is the younger kids these days, to join this growing rebellion of young people who are standing up against big tech and deciding they want to have more. real friendship and more real freedom and real fun. And so it's been really thrilling to see that kids are taking that up and saying, yeah, that is what I want. Right. Yeah. So if we want our children to put the smartphones down,

does that mean that we, the adults, also have to put the smartphones down? Because that's going to be a deal breaker for us. For them. I'm sorry, for them. Okay. I won't do the dad-splining thing here. No, it's okay. I asked for it.

Yeah. So, you know, a lot of us, we're using our phones all the time. We say, but mine is for work. Kids can actually understand that. They can actually understand that they're different. They can understand that, you know, maybe you have some habits that are for adults. The important thing is to structure space and time in your house. Because what happened when these things came in is they're just everywhere all the time.

There is no structure to space and time. And so you got kids sitting at the dinner table, kids sitting on the toilet, kids walking out the door, you know, always on the phone. Put a stop to that. Make it clear there are times when we have these things and there are times when we don't. So the easiest, of course, are meal times. That needs to be an absolute no phones at the table, even if you want to just check something. And the other, the most important one of all,

is no screens in the bedroom after a certain time. If your kids are younger, I would actually say, start with the rule, no screens of any kind in the bedroom ever. I wish I had done that with my kids, but of course, going through COVID, that the habits got formed. So there's a lot you can do to structure, space, and time that will really convey to your kid that you don't always have this. Right, all right, okay.

So here's one thing I want to just bring up because as a parent, I think we see the way that screens affect our kids and we desperately want to take them away, but it can be really challenging and sometimes parents feel like they're backed into a corner because their kids' friends all have phones or the school hasn't done a school ban. And so you're hesitant to pull your kid out and ostracize them from their friends. How much of the onus falls on the parent and the teachers and how much much falls on these tech companies and our leaders to do the right thing? In any rational world where you had a consumer product that was used by 95% of all children

that had killed thousands of them, that had gotten to the point where 25% of the girls say that it has damaged the mental health, that has gotten to the point where Snapchat gets 10,000 reports of sex distortion, not a year a month, at least that was the case in 2022. In any rational world, if there was such a consumer product, it would have been so, out of existence or at least made an adult-only product. Of course, we don't live in that world. We live in a world where wealthy industries can just pay, not even that much money, to buy huge amounts of influence in Congress

and block anything. But the states are acting. The states are much more independent. That's where we're making so much progress in the states, and the rest of the world is acting. So I think we're going to win on this eventually, and the companies are going to have to bear some responsibility. Of course, in Los Angeles right now, they're on trial.

for the first time. They're facing jury. Thousands of kids are dead, and they've never had an answer for it. So I think justice will come. But until then, we all have to play a part. So parents have responsibility. Schools need to do their part.

And the amazing thing is that now kids are actually rising up and doing their part. Right. Yeah. There's a part of this book that I think is so inspiring. You don't just approach it in terms of taking something away. You show what's on the other side of it,

your life, your childhood. This is what's on the other end. Explain what the rebel code is. Yes, so as I was mentioned, there is a growing youth rebellion of young people who have decided either that they are going to choose not to use these things to begin with, or they've realized I have regrets about my own youth and I want to live a different way. And they really are rebels because they are standing up against big tech and just going their own path. And so we wanted to try to put their philosophy into words that other people could follow. And so that's the rebels code. And the basic idea is to use technology as a tool, just don't let it use you.

We're not Luddites. we're not saying that technology is all bad, but we are all being used by technology right now. And then the second part of the Rebels Code is fill your life with real friendship, real freedom, and real fun. And I think that that's something that's incredibly important for kids, but also for all of us adults, too.

I'd just like to add on to what Catherine said. This all makes so much more sense if you stop focusing on the phones and you focus instead on childhood. What is a healthy human childhood? And everybody here who's over, you know, 35... Oh, not me. I don't understand.

Sorry, I can't say that I am. Don't Google it. Well, if you had an older sister, she probably went out and played. Yes, yes, yes. But if you keep your eye on, and that's what this is really about. And that's why I think, that's why I think your son is going on, because it's not just, oh, don't do this, kids. It's, have you ever seen movies that took place in the 80s and 90s?

You ever see kids out having fun, having adventures? You can have that. And kids know that it exists, and they want it. Yeah, yeah. What is there, if there's one piece of advice that you could give to parents right now, what would it be? I would suggest that in terms of this fear of your kid being left out, which is the most common thing, I think we both hear, to focus less on what your kids are going to miss out on if you don't give them smartphones in social media and focus more on what they will miss out on if we do give them smartphones in social media, which is to say having a real life. Right. And I would say picking up on what you said before, no parent wants their kid to be alone.

If you do this alone, it is hard, but if your kid has one or two other friends who are with them, now they're suddenly the kids who are out riding bicycles, they're going, getting ice cream, while everybody else has to stay under supervision. So I would say my number one piece of advice to parents is talk to the parents of your kids' friends. You surely talk with them anyway. You've got them on texting and party pickup and things like that. So find a small group and do it together. I'm a social psychologist.

the whole key to this, the whole thing, is that we're stuck in a collective action trap. Anyone who goes out is missing out on the connections. But if a few of us go out, then they're actually having fun, and then others see it, and then they join. So do it together, and it becomes fun. Excellent advice. My advice would be to go out and pick up this book.
