You're listening to Comedy Central. As you know, many of you here, there has been great concern lately over AI. And what data centers will do to local communities? the threats posed by rogue AI agents.

So President Trump called all of the biggest AI leaders to the White House to finally address the concerns of the American people. And you know that Trump is going to bring the heat because... Because... Don't be cynical. He's going to bring the heat.

Trump has been very clear what he thinks about these Silicon Valley elites. These Silicon Valley tyrants, Big Tech giants, you see how crooked they are. Big Tech is totally dishonest. They're destroying our country. Google has really taken advantage of a lot of people. I consider Facebook to be an enemy of the people.

Weirdo Mark Zuckerberg. Weirdo. He's a weirdo. I got to say, I did not know Trump said true stuff at his rallies. You know, I've been too hard on him. But no, no, this is going to be great. What do you think he's going to announce? an AI moratorium, nationalizing the companies, strict antitrust initiatives,

maybe make everybody use those old modems from now on. Kidong, gong. What do you got, T, T, T? President Trump declaring AI leaders should police themselves after weeks of dire warnings about the threat it could pose to humanity. And they're going to self-police. They're going to police themselves.

It's going to work out very well. The enemies of the people will watch the dishonest. The tyrants will watch the crooked and everyone will keep an eye on the weirdo, right? What happened? I thought you hated these guys. Now you got little inside jokes. Would they give you millions of dollars or something?

I'm being told they gave them millions of dollars. Well, how can you justify letting the tech giants regulate themselves? We have the smartest people in the world watching over each other. These are seriously high IQ people, and they're really watching over each other. Wow. Well, yeah. I mean, seriously high IQ people would never have a problem watching over each other to make sure that moral and legal lines aren't crossed.

Like in the 2008 financial crisis or this real Epstein-Files photo of Stephen Hawkin. I thought it was a symposium. I was going to hell anyway. All right, look, maybe I'm overreacting to the dangers that AI could present. Oh, high IQ counsel, sell me, I'm open. What's the likely outcome of the deployment of this technology? Life is going to get better. The quality of human experience is going to get better.

Almost make us a little bit superhuman in some ways. There's going to be a kind of golden era. You know, I think AI will probably, like, most likely sort of lead to the end of the world. The world is going to get a lot more, like a lot funnier. I'm sorry, I look down for just a second. And I heard the funnier part. That's great. There was something said right before.

I don't remember which neurotic weirdos said it. Lead to the end of the world. Yeah, that leads to the end of the world? What? So I thought we'd start with the easiest question of all. Okay. Is AI going to kill us? Not really the place for the awkward laugh.

Well, I think if we all do a good job and act responsibly, then no. You can't even do a good job sitting like a normal human in a chair. You're sitting like your kirk on the fucking deck, the hollow deck. It does not comfort me. But, you know, maybe we should trust him. When has Mark Zuckerberg ever acted irresponsibly? This was a major breach of trust. and I'm really sorry that this happened.

That was a big mistake. It was my mistake, and I'm sorry. We've made mistakes for sure. I've made so many mistakes and running the company so far. I mean, like basically any mistake that you think you can make, I probably made. We can think. So yeah, there's definitely a chance.

AI will kill us all. How big a chance? Somewhere between 0% and 10%. I think there's some chance that it'll end humanity. out of 10% or 20% or something like that. So I think there's a 25% chance that things go really, really badly. Do I hear 50?

There's a 25% chance. This goes really, really badly. A 20% chance, it ends the world. So just out of curiosity, why can't we just fucking slow this down? Rather than let people regulate something, they have a clear conflict of interest in regulating. We cannot let China win the race,

when it comes to AI. There is no day after tomorrow if China wins a death. They're going to be killer robots. I'd rather they'd be American killer robots and not Chinese killer robots. May I offer a third option? No killer robots.

Maybe I'm not. It seems popular. I don't know. Maybe I'm the first person to say it. If someone else has already suggested this, I'm terribly sorry. But let me go a different route here. What are we getting in exchange for this 10 to 25% chance of extinction?

Access to high quality health care, education, and more. Addressing climate change. Actually eliminate poverty. Solving diseases. Cure important diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. Um, well, that's great. I, um, when's that happening? One day will be far more capable.

Someday. and it will be soon. Someday. In the future. Well, I'm looking forward to someday in the future. Just out of curiosity, what are we using AI for now? Swarms of AI-powered drones, helping ICE find the immigrants. Spread mis and disinformation to influence our democracy.

Develop weapons and attack plans. Targeting operations. Cyber attacks. A mass surveillance system. McDonald's. pushing AI tools to raise prices based on demand. Future, we will use AI to cure diseases. But right now, it's mostly murder, surveillance, and surge pricing for the McRib.

What a trade. I'm getting the sense you guys might be full of shit. I've got a final test. I'm going to ask you a very straightforward question. And you, being the high IQ individuals in charge of regulating yourself, through the minefield of this new technology, I just want a straightforward way and an answer to a simple question.

Jobs. Will we still have them? I think there will be actually a high demand for jobs, but not necessarily the same jobs. Some jobs will go away. There will be new better jobs. Well, I think we all like new better jobs. So like, what are the new better jobs? They're difficult to imagine as we sit here and dream about the future is going to look like.

You high IQ motherfuckers, both to imagine? You've imagined us living disease free on Mars, but jobs, that's beyond the limit of the cosmos. They can't answer the jobs question in a straightforward manner. Jensen Wong, NVIDIA, the most valuable company in the world, do you want to take a shot at a clear answer to how we humans still find relevance in this new economy? I believe that we are going to see jobs change in mass. I believe there's going to be a net creation of jobs. Ah, net creation. And those jobs would be. So let's let's um There's you know

Listen there's a whole bunch of industry that exist today That didn't exist You know halfway through my life Like People talking about Wellness centers and spas I'm sorry you were trying to think of an industry that didn't exist Until a few years ago and you came up with spas

They have ruins of those From 2000 BC Are you kidding me? You know what? Can you guys just stop fomfering around and just admit that if this works the way you say it will work, there aren't going to be that many jobs anymore.

If you want to do a job as kind of like a hobby, you can do a job. There you have it. If you're going to want a job, if you still want one, you could have one as a hobby. the view of our self-policing geniuses is that the new world that we are building

must continue without regulation or financial limitation because it's important work carried out by important people. And my guess is they'll still have jobs when this is done. This technology is the natural outcome of a capitalist system that rewards progress and innovative. innovation and you're never going to believe where it leads. A age of abundance. Because people looking at this will be worried a particularly laptop job.

What are they going to do in the future system? I think my father most likely outcome is an age of abundance where we don't have just a universal basic income. We have universal high income. That's the answer. If we let them do enough unfettered capitalism, we can apparently capitalism our way to socialism. Knock it up. But if the ultimate goal

of having an immense flood of money in society is to then give it away for free to the people, quick question. Why wait? If $50 trillion gets us

to a future where the government has enough to give people money, why not just give us the $50 trillion dollars now? Don't call us welfare queens.

Just call us early adopters. Lying to us. Claims of universal high income and incredible hobbies isn't going to paper over how frightening this future can sound. What are you going to come up with next to distract us? Meta this week unveiled a new AI agent that it's, I guess, really pushing the cuteness factor.

It's called Muse. It's very cute. It is cute. I think the kind of default that all the other labs have are these, like, robot-looking things, and we just wanted something that was, like, kind of like, fun. Oh my God. It's fun. It's like a Trojan. I really don't know what that is. I want to say a panda f*** to liboo-a. I don't really know. A water heater failing mid-shower right before an important morning meeting is the ultimate headache. Emergency home repairs always add insult to the injury, along with steep out-of-pocket expenses.

And right now, Republicans are at a risk of losing in a lot of red states. I'm talking states like 10. Texas, Iowa, Kansas, and even Alibrasca. Yeah, yeah, you guys didn't even know about Alibaska because you're all wrapped up in your East Coast bubble. It may just be flyover country to you coastal elites, but to the Hicks who live there, it's home, okay? But one reason Republicans are struggling

is that they aren't exactly fielding the best candidates. For example, in the Ohio governor's race, their nominee is Vivek Ramaswamy, former presidential candidate and guy with resting virgin face. His campaign really needs a lift, but lifting doesn't seem to be his strong suit. There you go. See, this is why you can't skip lifting kids' day at the gym.

Now, to be fair, this kid wasn't helping. I mean, look, he went full dead weight. That's the move my kid makes, but she doesn't want to leave the playground. and I don't want to drop her because I'm a good dad, so typically I just leave her there. But this was not what Vivek needed, especially after the last time he tried to show off his manliness. Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramoswamy

has deleted a campaign video after the internet mocked his baseball swing. There's 10 things I'm going to do for Ohio. Slash your property taxes. Abolish your state income tax. What are you laughing at? He swings the bat like, Jeter. That's the name of my blind gay nephew. That swing is bad.

Please tell me his father died young. At least that's an excuse. His father didn't die young. We fact-checked it before the Joe. I mean, what a harsh way to find out everyone on your staff hates the living shit out of you. Hey, does this swing look good? Yeah, definitely. That's how all the pros do it. Meanwhile, in the Texas Senate race, Republicans are running Ken Paxton, the Attorney General, who amazingly found someone to cheat on his wife with. He's running an ad trying to highlight his hard stance on human trafficking, but it's not exactly sending the right message.

A 16-year-old runaway from San Antonio trafficked around Texas until Ken Paxton's human trafficking unit stepped in. When missing posters go up, Ken Paxton takes them down. What a harsh way to find out everyone on your staff hates the living shit out of you. This doesn't make me look like I'm kidnapping girls and taking on the posters, right? No, of course not. That's how all the pros do it. Anyway, with teammates like this, it's no wonder that Donald Trump has decided to put them on his back and carry them across the finish line himself.

Last night, he hit the campaign trail in Nebraska, where he promised voters relief from the high gas prices that some moron inflicted on him. Tonight, I'm going to sign a historic executive order to officially waive the off-road requirement and allow anyone to purchase tax-free red-dye diesel for any reason. Executive order on red-dye diesel. What's red-dye diesel? I mean, I know all of those words individually, but not altogether. Is that how they make fruit loops?

Well, thankfully, the president is signing an executive order about it. So he'll explain it to us. Red-dye diesel. Do you know what that is? I don't know what the hell it is, but whatever it is, it's supposed to be very good. Does anybody want to explain it? If you're doing this to help us, shouldn't you at least know what it is? This feels like a doctor going, well, I finished your vasectomy. By the way, what do the balls do anyway?

You know what, Trump? I don't think getting a discount off red-dye diesel is going to get the country back on your side. You need to do something like end the war or regulate AI or stop bringing back diseases that you could only get on the Oregon Trail. Something big. Donald Trump wants to make daylight savings permanent. Sure. Okay.

Daylight saving time. Sometimes I also start at the bottom of my to-do list. But okay, let's hear it. What's your pitch? We want to get away from this ridiculous way and custom of every twice a year, turning your klops back, turning your klops forward, being late for dinner.

Yeah. Finally, a crisis that Trump takes seriously, being late for dinner. No president wants to get that terrible phone call, sir, they've already started serving the appetizers. I mean, it's 2026. There's like one clock in my entire house that doesn't change automatically.

If Trump wants to permanently shift the entire country's daylight hours, he's going to need a better reason than it's annoying to change the clock. We don't want to change clock twice a year. It's very expensive. It's expensive? How is it expensive to change your clocks? Are you hiring Shoay Otani to do it for you? Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but historically it's always cost me $0 to change my clocks.

Mr. President, you've got to give us a better reason. crime rates, car safety, GDP, something. They don't want to have to go around changing blocks. People don't want to have to change their clocks twice a year. It's a lot of work for a lot of people. They're running around for two days changing all the clocks in their house. Okay, okay. Now, that sounds like a lie I would make up to avoid going to my daughter's recital.

Sorry, honey. It's going to take me like two days to change all the clocks. But I'm sure you'll do great considering you've practiced one. in the last six months. But I'll admit, it is a lot of running around. And sadly, most fatal clock-changing accidents happen at home. The time of death?

Nobody knows. But not all Republicans want this as bad as Trump does. In fact, the only thing standing in the way of Trump and his dream of permanent daylight is Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton, so named because he's genetically half-cuitip. He's single-handedly blocking Trump's bill from coming to vote. And I'm sure Trump

is going to be totally normal about that, right? Right? President Trump publicly shared on social media what he said is the personal cell phone number of Republican Senator Tom Cotton in an apparent effort to pressure the lawmaker to support legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent.

He released his personal cell phone number? Oh my God. What a dick is what Tom Cotton probably thought when he got 60,000 unsolicited dick picks. Now, I know that sounds annoying, but it's not as annoying as going around your house for two days changing all your clocks. Where some see heroes and others see egos. Bloomberg sees the era of billionaire athletes. A fad to some, the future of money to others. We see crypto's trillion dollar swings. The end of jobs or the end of

human struggle. We see the endless funds fueling the AI hype. While others follow the noise, we follow the money. Learn more at Bloomberg.com. I know things aren't great right now. The wars, the economy, Taylor Swift's new music, but you know what? I woke up this morning. The sun was shining.

People were smiling. It made me realize, hey, we're all going to be okay. U.S. health officials monitoring a possible plague outbreak in Russia. Nearly 200 people reportedly under quarantine for the rare, highly contagious, and deadly disease. Oh my God, the plague? Like, the plague? Plague?

How come nothing good ever comes back from the 14th century? What I wouldn't do for a lusty wench with an ample bosom. But no, it had to be the plague. Now, I know when you hear about something like this, your initial response is, oh, my God, a deadly pandemic from a foreign country, while Donald Trump is president, this is COVID all over again. But calm down.

There's a lot of differences. For one, nobody's talking about this dangerous infection being accidentally released from a research institute. Russian authorities saying a dangerous infection was accidentally released at an anti-plagued research institute in southern Siberia. Oh, shit. It's deja flu.

By the way, do we really need these anti-discipline? these anti-disease labs that only seem to exist to occasionally leak new diseases? At least put something fun in them so the leak isn't all bad. Sure, we accidentally released the plague, but we also accidentally released a new Yankee candle scent. But now that this pathogen is out there, our only hope is that President Trump is prepared for. And let's be honest, that's not really his strength.

But let's see what he has to say about it. What is the U.S. going to do about the risk of pneumonic plague coming from Russia? They call it pneumonia. And pneumonia, you know, years ago you could treat pneumonia easier. The microbes and the germs have gotten stronger, disproportionately. Holy shit. Did Trump just say disproportionately and microbe? You know this situation is bad if Trump is learning new words.

This guy falls asleep during every intelligence briefing. now of a sudden he's coming out here like the DNA sequencing of this microbe disproportionately reveals concerning protein strands. This is not good. Don't forget, we as a country have completely turned against the basic precautions that got us through COVID. The joke's going to be on us when the only people who survived this new plague is that Massachusetts lesbian bar.

But maybe the most concerning part is that during COVID, Trump at least had some qualified people around him. renowned scientists, physicians, public health experts. Remind me again, who's in charge of the health department this time around? I'm not scared of a germ. You know, I used to snort cocaine off a toilet disease. All right, so I'll see you guys on Zoom. But you know what?

Even if this is a plague, you've got to find ways to enjoy your life. For instance, going outside, getting some fresh air, walking around the neighborhood. The danger lurking underground. from old and abandoned mines eroding away and causing sinkholes and other incidents across the country. This 30-foot sinkhole swallowing a chunk of a suburban South Dakota street,

others swallowing cars, each of these hundreds of thousands of dots tied to a mine. There's a sinkhole pandemic? I thought the whole job of the ground was to be the ground. What do you mean there's a ground under the ground? What the fuck have I been walking on this whole time?

This is so mess. up mines are only supposed to kill the people who work in them. Your first reaction was to laugh at that. These things are everywhere. By the way, make sure you save a photo of that map because if you do a Google search for minor holes near me, the FBI is going to show up. Okay, so I can't be with people and I can't go outside.

Fine. I'll just stay home and I'll eat my feelings like last time. A frozen berry recall is expanding over possible e-coli contamination. Danin USA is recalling. pints of its so delicious dairy-free frozen dessert. The reason possible foreign materials like small stones. A frozen pasta dish sold at Walmart under recall concerns over Listeria. Walmart alerting shoppers to check their freezers for Better Foods authentic Italian lemon Alfredo Fenicini. And if you find a Walmart Fennuccini Alfredo in your freezer, see a doctor about clinical depression.

Look, I don't think anyone microwaving a frozen brick of Fettuccini is really going to care. Their life is already over. Some divorced dad is going to eat this off a paper plate, taste the listeria, and be like, yeah, so what? Where some

see heroes, and others see egos. Bloomberg sees the era of billionaire athletes. While others follow the noise, we follow the money. Learn more at Bloomberg.com. Building an effortless wardrobe comes down to having go-to pieces that get worn on repeat.

And when Quince asks where you heard about them, let them know it was the Daily Show. It's the best way to support the show. Let's start with the U.S. Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle. You might remember her as Don Jr.'s former fiancé. Sadly, the relationship fell apart after they got to know each other.

Or you might remember her from the Trump campaign where she gave this epic speech. Ladies and gentlemen, leaders and fighters for freedom and liberty and the American dream is yet to come. Sadly, her sign language interpreter died of exhaustion. Of course, before Gilfoy broke the sound barrier, she reportedly made history as the only woman to get fired from Fox News for sexual harassment. Hey, hey, you go, girl. No, specifically to HR. Go to HR immediately.

With such a stellar resume, it's no surprise that she was nominated to be Trump's ambassador to Greece, a critical role in overseeing America's big fat weddings. And so it's reassuring to know our diplomatic corps is staffed with such paragons of integrity and above all dignity. U.S. Ambassador to Greece and Donald Trump Jr.'s former fiancé, Kimberly Guilfoyle, pushed a Trump donor to send her $100,000

to pay her American Express bill last year. Honey, please, I need you to get this done for me today. Adding a prayer hands emoji and a PDF with bill payment instructions from American Express. Wow, that was not subtle. Usually it's meet me in the parking lot with a suitcase full of bills, but Gilfoyle was like,

here is a PDF with instructions for how to send me a bribe. Please send the bribe today, honey. Man, if the Justice Department still existed, you'd be in so much trouble. And damn, $100,000 credit card bill. Ah, now her current job-making. sense. Hmm, we need a new ambassador

who really understands Greece. Kimberly, you're deep in debt. You'd be perfect. Yes, Kimberly Gilfoyle, seen here demonstrating the size of her debt, wanted this guy to pay off her MX card. But the question is,

what does he get out of it? Gilfoyle told him if he paid her MX bill, quote, I will be your Trump ride or die forever and ever. Oh, Trump's ride or die. That's a good deal. Everyone knows there's no closer relationship than that of a man and his son's incredibly loud ex-fiance. Now, maybe you're thinking, is it possible that Kimberly Gilfoyle was too stupid

to understand that this was wrong? And that is a reasonable thought. But judging by her other texts, she knew. Gilfoyle began to express concerns about their dealings becoming public and sent him this message on Signal. Eric, I really wish you would stop papering all these things. it's really dangerous and not helpful to you or me while you could simply just call me on signal. She added, what a nightmare. You literally cost me my ambassadorship. Stop writing.

Real criminal mastermind we got here. She left a paper trail about not leaving a paper trail. Didn't help that she named the group chat paper trail, parentheses, crimes. She had a point, though. Why wouldn't this guy just call her on the phone? Oh, yeah, right. I'd probably would have text her. too. So, the question is, who was this donor that Kim was shaking down for

MX points? I assume, as ambassador to Greece, the type of donors she's dealing with are shipping magnets or international art dealers, people like that. The donor was a man named Eric Dieter's, an attorney and former co-owner of the regional pizza chain, Snappy Tomato Pizza. Oh. So this thing goes all the way to the top of that regional Kentucky pizza chain. Seriously, what's a snappy tomato? Sounds like a slur for an Italian guy with a bad temper, or should I just say an Italian guy?

The Greeks, Italians, we're going after everybody. Now, to be clear, Kimberly Guilfoy wasn't the only one asking for favors. Mr. Tomato also had specific favors he wanted from her. He wanted her to lobby on his behalf to the IRS Commissioner to help him resolve a tax dispute. Dieter's promised Gilfell as much as a million dollars if she was successful. He also wanted her to help him get on Tucker Carlson's podcast. He wanted her to send a song he wrote to Kid Rock.

He wanted her to send a song to Kid Rock? Trust me, you don't need to send a shitty song to Kid Rock. He has plenty at home. You don't need to bribe someone to get a song to Kid Rock. Just strap a CD to a beer can and throw it into his yard. Obviously, I'm kidding. I don't know if the song is bad. Okay?

But Dieter's did put it on YouTube. So let's hear it. It stands to fight as it takes the kicks of you. Hey, don't laugh. Don't laugh. That was my wedding song. All right, so as far as I can tell, this is a song about a guy who's gotten the shit kicked out of him so many times.

He forgot that he already sang several lines about getting the shit kicked out of him. And yeah, that song doesn't make any sense. but on the bright side, I will never listen to it again. But maybe the biggest twist in this whole scandal is that the only reason we know about this scandal is because Pizza Boy himself decided to go public, probably because he knew the entire arrangement was unethical, unless it was something else.

In a message last summer, a frustrated Dieter's told Guilfoyle, quote, I have paid you $300,000 over the years. As of this memo, I have not received one favor. I am not naive, or a judge. a sucker. I need results. You haven't got me on Tucker. You haven't got me on a Fox interview. You haven't done squat. You didn't get

Kid Rock the song that I wrote. It was called the Kentucky Outlaw. So you've been done anything for me. That is one snappy tomato. This guy alerted the media because he's mad that Gilfoyle didn't hold up her end of the bribery bargain. I've never seen someone asked to

speak to the manager of corruption before. Do you know who I am? I wrote Kentucky Outlaw. So Kimberly Gilfoy was apparently selling access to the White House, which means the Trump administration's corruption is so widespread, it runs the gamut from the president getting a half a billion dollar jet from Cotter all the way down to an ambassador getting your manicures paid off by Kentucky's third best pizza chain. Well, I guess the best is really yet to come.
