The Daily Show: Ears Edition - Trump Gets Made-Up “Champion of Coal” Award & Guts EPA Regulations | Mayor Jacob Frey
Episode Date: February 13, 2026Jordan Klepper digs into Trump’s newest fake award, “Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal," and how the president is embodying the win by committing the Pentagon to buying electricity from ...coal-powered plants, blocking the EPA’s ability to curb greenhouse gas emissions, and assuring miners that they wouldn’t want any other life. Grace Kuhlenschmidt talks to American digital nomads living in Mexico City, who bravely moved across the border for a life of cheap rent, no taxes, and bottomless margaritas, and hears from unamused locals who have been priced out of their homes and are pushing back against the gentrification of their neighborhoods and culture. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey talks to Jordan Klepper in the wake of Border Czar Tom Homan’s announcement that he will finally be ending Operation Metro Surge and withdrawing ICE agents from the city. They discuss how this development is a credit to the activism and strength of the people of Minneapolis, whose citizen journalism and support for their neighbors serve as an inspirational example to the country for how to push back against the Trump Administration, and his meeting with NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani about protecting American cities from unconstitutional action by speaking up and not backing down.

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, with your host...
A new trophy to its fake award shelf.
Immigrants are ruining Mexico.
And we'll talk about the big Minneapolis news with the mayor himself, Jacob,
He'll be here. So, let's get into the headline.
We are in the thick
of award season, which means only
a few more weeks of pretending I saw
ham net.
Which I loved, obviously.
All the ham and the nets,
and when the ham
went into the nets, you know,
masterfully done. Anyway,
yesterday, another major award
was presented. The Washington
Coal Club presented the president with the inaugural
undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal Award.
The trophy says the undisputed champion of Beautiful Clean Coal.
Thank you, sir.
Incredible. Bravo.
Don't, don't, don't be jealous.
Don't dispute the undisputable, you all.
Oh, no.
Congratulations to Donald Trump on winning the inaugural award for undisputed champion of Beautiful Clean Coal.
And so soon after winning the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize.
And if you're thinking, this guy sure wins a lot of awards.
that were created just this year for him in particular.
You're right.
That's why tonight we're proud to present President Trump
with the inaugural award for winning the most inaugural
congratulations to our one and only nominee.
But back to the Coal Award.
Mr. Trump, would you like to say a few garbled words?
You've never had a better friend in the Oval Office than me,
and I'm proud to officially name the under,
the undisputed, when did this come out, Mr. Speaker?
Is it really undisputed?
Seems like your brain is disputing it as you speak.
Now, if this was a toddler saying their first words,
I'd be actually very impressed.
But for a president of the United States
who's actively having an aneurism,
I'm also pretty impressed,
which is why I'm presenting you with our inaugural
best
under-s-lid-a-e.
Congratulations.
President Trump.
Of course, of course.
Like any award recipient,
Trump made sure
to thank the little people
who did all the actual work.
Our amazing coal miners,
thank you very much, fellas.
That's great.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
You made them keep the hard hats on
in the White House.
You don't make NFL players
wear their helmets when they visit.
I mean, why did these poor guys have to?
Is this like a Disney World thing where they can't take off the costume in front of Trump because
it'll ruin the magic for him?
You know what?
Sorry.
Sorry I interrupted you.
Mr. President, go ahead and show your appreciation for those coal miners in the most
condescending way possible.
And you wouldn't want to do anything else.
You wouldn't switch with a guy who had a beautiful penthouse apartment on Fifth Avenue.
You wouldn't switch with that me.
What the hell, man?
Coal mining is their job.
But they're not gophers who have to keep digging to file down their nails so they don't grow inward.
It's not like some biological necessity here.
Although, that being said, a coal miner switching with a New York billionaire is my favorite Olson Twins movie.
So...
Now, you know what?
If this were just a silly little award to make the president feel like a special boy, no one would give a shit.
But, unfortunately, unlike the FIFA Peace Prize, the president seems intent on actually...
earning this award.
The president just signed a new executive order
for the Pentagon to buy electricity from U.S. coal-powered plants.
Oh.
Okay, I don't know what's worse.
The fact that Trump is directing our military
to prop up the dying coal industry,
or that SEAL Team 6 will now have to travel on coal-powered helicopters.
You know, like,
Osama bin Laden, put off your house,
just give me a Marco!
Give me a Marco Polo.
Mark...
You know what?
You know what, Donald Trump?
You may want to promote coal, but don't forget,
this country has something called
Environmental Protection Agency.
And I think the EPA will have something to say about that.
So the president this afternoon
just strip the EPA of its most powerful tool
to regulate air pollution and greenhouse gases.
God damn it!
Where's Captain Planet when you need them?
Okay.
Yep. I'm being told Captain Planet was deported to South Sudan.
Shit, okay. Right. All right. Fine.
So Trump is killing the EPA's ability to regulate all the worst sources of greenhouse gas emissions.
Power plants, cars and trucks, Sean Penn, all of them.
It's going to have a devastating impact on human health and the environment.
Personally, I'm concerned about this.
You tell Americans who are concerned that the $1.3 trillion in savings does come at a cost to public health and the environment based on science.
I tell them, don't worry about it.
Oh, thank God.
Because this seems devastating, but if you can't trust the undisputed champion of Beautiful Clean Coal, who can you trust?
You know what?
Now that I think about it.
Are you saying don't worry about it, like it's going to be fine, or don't worry about it, like what a mobster says while he drives you,
to an empty field.
I mean, Trump clearly doesn't understand
the science behind this.
Interior Secretary Doug Bergam,
can you ease my mind
about all the carbon dioxide
we're going to be pumping
into our already overheated atmosphere?
But CO2 was never a pollutant.
When we breathe, we emit CO2.
Plants need CO2 to survive and grow.
They thrive with more CO2s.
Oh, now I understand.
You're a fucking idiot.
Okay.
Okay.
Look, nobody is saying,
CO2 shouldn't exist.
The amount is the
issue. We need water to live
too, but the crew of the Titan
submersible is not living extra
hard right now.
So look, look,
I know, facts
hurt.
Look, I feel that way too.
But when I take a step back, and I look at the
consequences on human health and
the world at large, and I contemplate
the ramifications of all of these actions,
there can be no doubt.
Donald Trump truly is the undisputed champion of coal.
I can't think of anyone else that deserves that award.
Not so fast, Jordan Kwefer.
Wait, who said that?
It's me, the coal man, Colerson.
I am the real undisputed champion of coal.
And I'm coming for that title, Donald Trump.
You're the real champion of coal.
Did I stutter?
Touches me when it comes to coal.
I mined coal.
I burn coal.
I eat coal bricks, and I piss coal dust.
Wow. Frankly, that does not sound normal.
It's not.
My doctors are baffled.
But I still love that beautiful, sweet coal.
Everything I have is coal-powered.
My TV, my blender, my wife's vibrator.
Wait, wait.
Your wife's vibrator.
Did I stutter?
No.
Look, Mr. Coulerson.
Call me the coal man.
Mr. Coulerson's my...
father, we're not on good terms.
Sorry, coal man.
I don't think you should take this personally.
They just made this up for Trump to secure profits
for the coal industry. It's a fake award.
Jordan, every award is fake.
You think your Emmys are so real?
Hey!
The Emmys are real, you son of a bitch.
Take that back. Okay, sorry.
I touched a nerve. I sincerely
apologize. Yeah, okay, that's fine. Accepted.
Accepted. But you...
You really think you deserve this coal
award more than Donald Trump does.
Okay.
Trump is a coal poser.
He only loves beautiful, clean coal.
I love all coal, dirty coal, ugly coal, black coal, gay coal.
Cole can be gay.
When you're down in these mines long enough, it can.
But that's where I belong.
I belong in the mines.
Except Saturday nights when I'm at Lincoln Center
watching the hit Broadway revival of Ragtime.
Is that because the main character's name is Coal House?
Of course.
Okay, gotcha.
Got you.
If Trump thinks he can take that title away from me,
I will shove coal so far up his ass, he'll be pooping diamonds.
Wow. Wow, really?
Did I stutter?
No, you didn't stutter.
Good, because I do have a stutter.
And I've been working on it in speech therapy.
Donald Trump has nothing on me when it comes to coal.
I don't know, man.
I know you love coal, but Donald Trump just repealed the entire legal foundation
for regulating emissions.
America's climate policy is effectively over.
Holy shit, brother.
I love coal, but we do need a few common sense regulations.
We've got to be able to breathe, right, Kwefer?
Clepper, it's Clepper.
Essentially, yes, that's what I'm saying.
Well, that doesn't scare me, Jordan,
because I'm still coming for that title.
With this, okay?
And with this.
Why do you have a dead canary?
Mr. Feathers, he's dead.
He's the only father I've ever known.
We had tickets to ragtime.
I'm sorry.
Cole the cold man, Kohler said everyone.
When we...
America's immigration crisis,
but we're not the only country with one.
Grace Kulinschmidt has more.
Opportunity, prosperity, freedom.
That's the American dream.
And in recent years, migrants have gone through hell,
crossing borders,
risking life and limb to achieve that American dream.
here in Mexico City.
So I sat down with one of these brave migrants
who ventured here in search of a better life.
So where are you from?
Colombia, Nicaragua, Venezuela?
I'm actually from Atlanta.
Atlanta.
Where is that?
Georgia.
Whoa.
Henley is something called a digital nomad,
a group of wanderers who work remotely
in foreign countries.
And they've been pouring
into Mexico City by the thousands, bringing the hardworking mentality the immigrants are known
for.
Usually wake up around 9.30, maybe 10.
Really, really, usually walk around the park, get a coffee, dances some Taylor Swift,
come back work for a few hours on my computer.
I do marketing for a social media analytics company.
That is really hard.
And then it's margarita time, baby.
Everything is so much cheaper here.
You can just go out, order as many drinks as you want,
and your bill's like 70 bucks for the whole night.
I can see why they risk so much to come here.
But is this American welcome in Mexico?
I hit the streets to ask real Mexicans what they think.
How do you feel about digital nomads in Mexico City?
Yeah, you don't got to translate.
I speak English.
You are not a local.
So how many generations has your family been here?
Zero, none.
Your abolita doesn't live around here?
She's in Boca.
I'm from Montana originally.
I'm actually from Austin, Texas.
I'm from San Francisco.
Okay.
California.
And none of those are places in Mexico.
Correct.
I couldn't find a single Mexican,
but the American immigrants were taking over everything.
Mexicans must be loving that.
Mexico City,
where another protest against unaffordable housing
and gentrification took place.
over the weekend. Residents there saying some neighborhoods that are popular with digital nomads are
leading to rising costs making their own neighborhoods too expensive for them to live.
Uh-oh. Seems like not everyone was happy. I went to an open house to talk to a realtor about the
impact these immigrants were having on the housing market. Hi. Hi, I do come in. Nice to meet you.
And I was stunned by what I saw. This is ridiculous. Americans were renting two-bedroom apartments
like this for only $600 a month?
That is such a good deal.
I take it you're interested in the least.
Would you like me to send over the papers?
I'd love it here.
But I still had to meet with an anti-immigration activist,
so I invited her to my new perspective,
what's Mexican for Pietater?
She insisted on wearing a mask,
probably so she could harass digital nomads
without getting doxed.
Okay, Carla, let's get down to what's really important.
and what do you think of this place?
I'm thinking of relocating and I want to really love it.
I mean, that is the main issue.
You come in here with dollars and price us out
because we cannot compete with that.
And at the same time, there have been many cases of eviction
of places to return into kind of like this, Airbnb.
Carla was clearly giving some get-off-my-lawn energy.
Did you hear me? I said, get off my lawn.
And like your racist uncle, she was mad things aren't the way they used to be.
Even the culture itself is changing.
at its core. Sometimes you do hear more Spanish in
Brooklyn, you know, than you do here in Condesa.
You said Condessa. Now is that cool neighborhood where there's
macha places? C-O-N-D-E-S-A?
One of the main issues is that like salasasas, ya no piccan.
Like, like salasas are not spicy anymore. Because now they're
catering to that gentrified palate. And I'm not arguing,
I'm just saying a gentrified palate.
is the reason we do have the culinary delicacy of ranch.
I want to be appreciative of your cultural traditions of ranch.
There's always going to be that exchange of cultures
and migration of movement.
We just want you to do it in a way that you're not
making us lose our homes.
Okay, that actually sounds reasonable.
But is this message from the protesters
getting through to Henley, or is she
guzzling down enough tequila to drown it out?
Most of our friends that are from here
are doctors or lawyers or business owners,
and from what I've heard from them,
it's generally more of the low-income people
that are protesting.
It is heartwarming to know that at least
we're not gentrifying rich people
out of their neighborhoods.
It is hard-w.
Maybe I could bridge the gap.
How should these digital nomads behave
so that these gringos can turn into gring stays?
I worked really hard on that joke.
Try and respect us, try and learn some Spanish, and start paying taxes.
I'm not paying Mexican taxes because I pay American taxes,
and I don't have legal status here.
And, you know, what's the point?
The point is to contribute to the people and the infrastructure in which the city that you live,
but TPH it's so much paperwork, so I get it. Why would you?
Many of them come and they call themselves experts
because they don't even want to take that name of migrant.
I don't really feel like a migrant.
I feel like an expat.
Why don't you feel like a migrant?
Is it a migrant like someone who...
Because I am a migrant.
I'm a freaking migrant.
Say it proud.
I'm a migrant!
You just made every single person in Texas hate you.
Turns out you could be both a migrant and a gentrifier.
But in Mexico City, the key to being a good gringo
isn't retreating into the creature comforts of home.
It's immersing yourself in the rich cultural traditions
of your adopted country.
even if it lights your friggin' guts on fire.
Okay, this case idea is so good.
I'm never leaving.
Also, I literally can't get up because I shit my pants.

Daily show, my guest today is serving as the 48th mayor of Minneapolis.
Please welcome Mayor Jacob Fry.
Mayor Frye, thank you for being here today.
It's a big day.
It's a huge day.
Yeah, it's a huge day.
Let's start with what happened this morning.
Borders'ar Tom Holman said that he is withdrawing.
ICE agents from Minneapolis.
He says he has talked to Donald Trump
and that Operation Metro Surge is over.
Do you call bullshit on that?
Is that really happening?
Where are we at with it?
I will believe it when I see it.
And if you're looking for anybody
to give credit to for the end of Operation Metro Surge,
for the pressure that was put on the federal government,
for these incredible patriotic acts
that have taken place over the last month and a half.
Give it to the 435,000 Minneapolis residents
that have stood up.
I mean, they are truly an inspiration.
They have been protesting peacefully by the tens of thousands.
They've been dropping off food for people
that are otherwise scared to go outside
and leave their homes.
They're watching guard on a daycare.
I mean, they are the defenders of this great republic.
In this moment, I mean, they are everything
that it means to be there.
I mean, it has been a lot of people.
remarkable to see what the protesters have been doing in Minneapolis. I think there's still a lot of
questions, right, about whether or not you can trust the Trump administration to follow up on its word.
Do you have any knowledge right now of ICE agents being removed? I know there were 700 that were
promised to be removed a few weeks ago. Like, I'm seeing things online, at least I was this past week,
images of ICE agents changing tactics and not leaving. Do you have any sense of what is happening
right now on the ground? Both my hope and my expectation is that this operation will be drawn.
down in the very near future, and by the very near future, I mean, in the next week or so.
And simultaneously, like I said, we'll believe it when I see it.
We have seen a variety of unconstitutional acts that have taken place on the streets of Minneapolis.
The kinds of things that have happened never in a million years would I think that a federal
government would be invading a great American city.
And so it is my expectation that it will be drawn down.
It is my hope that it will end.
And here's the thing.
It's not good enough for it to end in Minneapolis
and then go to terrorize some other great American city.
What do you do if a week from now
there's still 2,000 ice agents in Minneapolis?
Well, look, we do everything that we can do under the law.
We are preemptively suing.
We have recognized that the kind of discriminatory actions
that have taken place are not just,
violation of local law, but they violate the United States Constitution. I am expecting. I am
hopeful, again, that in this next week, it'll not just be drawn down the Operation Metro Surge will end.
It will be back to the numbers that we saw before. And by the way, like, ice has been in Minneapolis,
ice has been throughout the country for like decades now. We're not talking about ice doing normal
ice stuff. What we saw was these roaming gangs walking down the street, terrorizing people,
detaining them exclusively based on the fact that they looked like they're Somali or Latino
and then indiscriminate pickups thereafter. You can't do that in America. That happens in other
countries. But when it happens here, it shouldn't be a Democrat issue or a Republican issue. It should be,
Hang on a second.
This is not how we conduct ourselves in this nation.
We got to stand up.
I'm curious, a lot of cities are looking at Minneapolis
to see what happened if this lands in their city next
and what happened to America,
both from a protest standpoint,
but also from a governmental standpoint.
Tom Holman called this a success.
I'm curious what conversations you had with Homan,
what concessions you had to make?
What was given up for Tom Homan?
to feel this was a success?
Well, first off, we did not capitulate.
We did not back down.
Clearly, look, this was not about safety from the very beginning.
This was not about immigration.
This was about creating a political narrative
about a democratic city and a democratic state
and trying to show that these are places of chaos.
But what we showed is that we're not going to back down.
We're not going to get bullied.
What we showed is that we're,
we're going to stand up for our neighbors.
And, you know, here's the thing.
Is that what Holman is responding to?
I can't see.
Do you feel like he felt that was the police force?
Did you allow the police force to get into the prison system?
And like, did he feel that he was being met with care with the police force there?
I know there's been a lot of criticism with the protesters of Minneapolis about the use of police
and whether or not they're helping ICE with the protesters that are there.
Like, how do you look back on what happened?
and do you feel like they're starting to craft a different narrative about what actually happened on the ground?
Well, I'll tell you what has been happening on the ground, not just for the last, like, month and a half, but for the last several years.
We do work with the federal government when it comes to keeping people safe.
We work with the DEA and the FBI and the ATF and the U.S. Attorney's Office to successfully drive down crime.
And, yes, arrest criminals.
You know, I'll take a position that I think is one of the easiest positions I've ever taken before, which is in Minneapolis, where anti-Mobile.
murder and we're anti-rape.
I, you know,
she's just strength.
You know, I mean,
bold, bold positions.
Bold, bold positions.
Very bold.
And if this were about that,
yeah, we do work with the federal government.
We work with any administration that is about keeping people safe.
But here's the thing.
It's not based on where someone is from.
The important piece here, if you commit a murder
or if you do something bad in the United States,
you're held accountable.
as an individual.
You do not hold an entire community accountable.
You do not hold an entire city accountable
for the actions of a few.
I'm curious, I look at what's happening in Minneapolis
and the activists in Minneapolis
have taken on a lot of responsibilities.
And you spoke to what is happening.
People are staying home because they're afraid
of ICE agents out there,
and so other families are getting food
to people who are in their homes,
people who can't go to work.
There's an organization to let people know
in ICE is in certain neighborhoods.
And then you have progressive activists
who are trying to stop ICE.
And then you have a progressive mayor
who is a practical progressive.
I know you call yourself.
Whatever you want to call it.
A pragmatist, if you will.
But what is the role?
How do you balance a progressive pragmatist mayor
who wants to push back against ICE
and an activist who are doing so much?
Is there a way you can help them more?
How do you walk that line?
You do the right thing.
I mean, I have long said that we've got to be loving our cities.
We've got to be love in our country more than our ideology.
And when it comes to loving our neighbors, that's an area where you just don't back down and you don't compromise.
We have said very clearly, you should be peacefully protesting to those that are out there in the public square videotaping what's happening.
Well, that's a public service.
That's patriotic of itself.
because you're adding sunshine as a disinfectant.
I mean, imagine if we didn't have visual footage
of what took place during the killing of Alex Preti.
We'd be running with this garbage narrative
that has no basis in fact or law.
We would, I don't know, maybe be believing
what this administration was saying
and we would all be living a lie.
And so God bless the people that are out there videotaping.
That's their constitutional right to do so.
By the way, it's in public.
It's called in public for a reason.
God bless the people that are out there delivering food,
those that are peacefully protesting.
And what we've said, and you asked about the balance,
it's quite simply this, is don't take debate.
We're not going to counter Donald Trump's chaos
with our own brand of chaos in Minneapolis.
We're going to stand up for what's right.
We're going to stand up for our neighbors.
And yeah, we also abide by the law.
Let that be a juxtaposition against what they're doing at the federal government.
But how do you do, sir, that's...
I think you are articulating...
You're articulating counsel for the activists.
But are there things that you can do as a mayor?
Can you stop eviction...
Invictions from happening? Can you freeze rent?
And I know that sometimes happens at the state level,
and maybe that's more so using your weight to get Governor Walls to enact that type of change.
Like, is there more that you can do?
Is there more you're considering doing...
to help these protesters who are taking on these giant burdens?
The answer is yes.
First, we are preemptively and responsibly suing.
We have an entire legal department that is set up to make sure that they're protecting the rights,
not just of our city enterprise, but of Minneapolis residents.
Second, we've got a whole emergency management function.
Third, we just approved rental assistance that is targeted towards the people that hopefully need it most.
And I gotta say, like, for an administration that talks about caring so deeply about the economy,
this has been devastating for the economy.
Businesses have lost money.
The people who work at those businesses aren't able to pay the rent, and so we need to be doing everything possible to help them out,
to get them rental support.
We've got our community service officers that are out there delivering groceries and food to people that need it most.
We're making sure that our police officers themselves have their body cameras on and activated.
So to the extent that they witness something that is against the law, we can then use that evidence in court.
These are just a few things that we're working on right now.
And the reality is that when you've got a federal government that is coming in with three to four thousand federal agents and you've got only 600 police officers, yeah, there's a differential there.
But what American cities can show right now is that we do not act like the federal government does.
We stand up for our constituents, and we're going to do right by them.
Now you're, you also, you met today here in New York with our mayor, Mom Donnie.
Yeah?
What is that exchange of ideas?
What does that meeting look like?
Are you trying to figure out how you get that Mom Donnie Riz?
It's never going to happen.
Yeah, yeah.
What stories are you guys swapping?
And more specifically, I'm sure some of that has to do
with what is happening in Minneapolis
and what a mayor of a town like New York
can do to prepare for something like that.
Well, first, we talked about Queens.
It's where most of my family is from,
from Fresh Meadows.
We talked about bagels.
You talked about that in bagels?
There might be more important things going on right now, mayor.
I mean, that's great.
And we got to that, too.
How are those Minneapolis bagels, by the way?
Actually, we've got some great bagels spots in Minneapolis, believe it or not.
We're coming into our own in a really beautiful way.
The water is good in both Minneapolis and in New York City.
That's right.
Step aside New York City.
You know, we also talked about the fact that this is not a time to, like, bow your head in despair.
you're not going to avoid this kind of invasion by not speaking up and not speaking out.
I've heard from both elected officials.
I've heard from CEOs that, well, we don't want to attract any attention.
Well, here's the thing.
We should all be paying attention to what's going on right now.
We should all be speaking out.
By not saying something, by not saying something, you're going to,
subject the next city and the next one after that to being subjected to this kind of unconstitutional action.
I think what's clear is they're trying to enact a national agenda based on coercion of local policies and principles,
trying to get us to abandon our separation ordinance, which says very clearly that we do not enforce federal immigration law.
And, you know, these are principles that are really kind of obvious if you think about it.
We as mayors, we operate in the reality business.
And whether you're Mayor Mamdani or even Mayor Rudy Giuliani, even he recognized the importance.
Big Giuliani fans here, by the way.
I know.
I know it.
Even he, though, recognized the importance of having a separation ordinance.
Why?
Because he wanted everybody to feel comfortable.
calling 911 when they were witnessing a crime.
He didn't want people living a life as a vigilante.
He wanted people to call 911 without the fear that they would get deported based on their
documentation status.
