Uh, Republicans want to fire their speaker. Donald Trump is going straight up, Tony Soprano, and we will tell you an easy way to not pay taxes, if you don't mind going to jail. So, let's get into the headline! Let's kick things off with the latest drama on Capitol Hill. Congress might finally be sending Ukraine that aid money they've been asking for, but it might cost Speaker Mike Johnson his job. The Speaker of the House says he's taking a stand despite threats from within his own

party that could cost him his job. House Speaker Mike Johnson says he will call a vote on funding for the war in Ukraine, saying this is not a game. House Conservatives railed against the plan. You want him to resign? Yes. Yeah, I asked asked him to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thoenenen.sskkoen.auuxxxxxxau.au.eau.skoom.auxxxxau.au. tho. their their their their their their th. not a game. House Conservatives railed against the plan. You want him to resign? Yes, yeah, I asked him to resign. There's no other way to describe that it's surrender. It's disappointing. I'm very disappointed.

Is it time for him to get out of office? I need a little bit more time today, but it's not good. Johnson arguing the stakes around the world are too high. I'm doing here what I believe to be the right thing. What, that was your first mistake right there. Doing the right thing in Congress? You must be new here. Shit is not looking good for this man. Man.

Hmm. I think he looks like a giant little boy. Out here in his daddy's suit. You're not fooling me with that little gray streak in the front, the right the right, the right, the right, the right, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, thiak, doing thiak, doing thiak, doing thiak, doing thi, doing thi, doing thi, doing, doing thi, doing, doing thi, doing thi, doing thi, doing thi, doing thi, doing thi's the right, doing the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the the the the thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's boy. Out here in his daddy's suit. Ha ha ha ha. You're not fooling me with that little gray streak in the front, sir? I know baby powder when I see it, come on now. I did musicals in high school, okay? The point is, this Pinocchio-looking moth-mug-might might get kicked out of his job by his own party,

all because he doesn't want Russia to take to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to doesn't want Russia to take over Ukraine. And the one coming hardest for Speaker Boss Baby is Marjorie Taylor Green. And I believe she'll get them fired because this lady has the strongest care and energy I've ever seen. We are angry and people have had it. Speaker Johnson needs to resign. People are not going to like any of this. They're going to be angry had it. Speaker Johnson needs to resign. People are not going to like any of this. They're going to be angry about it.

He is a damn fool. I am so pissed off about it because the American people are pissed off about it. Damn! The last time I saw a white lady that pissed about a bill, she was getting kicked out of a chili. I don't know if she's going to get Mike Johnson fired, but she's definitely getting store credit for something. Then again, the house is all about having representation and she's certainly is representing all the moms out there who have assaulted a kid's soccer coach. The crazy thing is if Capitol Hill

Karen does get the speaker fired that'll be the second time in six months Republicans if you're constantly refiring speakers maybe the problem is with you. Y'all can't even explain your position without sounding stupid. We're mad that he's working with both parties to pass bills. Ma'am, that's his damn job. See, this woman is like one of those friends who complains about a boyfriend, but it just makes her sound bad. Like, can you believe Mark canceled dinner with me

just to visit his mom in hospice? Oh, he's so selfish. But let's move on to the presidential race. Today, President Biden was campaigning in Pennsylvania, where he received the endorsement of literally 15 Kennedys, who picked Biden over their own relative, RFK, Jr. Which is brutal. Can you imagine being at your own wedding? And when the pastor asks if anyone objects, your entire family stands up and goes,

please don't marry this man. We know him better than anyone, and he sucks. But while Joe Biden is trying to get endorsements, Donald Trump is out here trying to get paid. Donald Trump's team wants Republican candidates to give them a cut of their fundraising cash. The campaign is telling candidates and committees that if they use the former president's name, image, and likeness to fundraise, they should give at least 5% of what they get to Donald Trump.

It says any split that is higher than 5% will be seen favorably by the Republican National Committee and President Trump's campaign... Damn! Donald Trump is shaking down the candidates in his own party for a cut of their money? Oh, this is some straight-up mafia shit. Trump's about to leave a horsehead in someone's bed. Or even scarier, Rudy Giuliani. Do you know how crazy this is? Usually candidates in the same political party campaigned together

because they have a shared vision for the country. Trump is like, fuck that, find me on Venmo. Can you imagine any other president acting like this? Obama was never like hope and change. And when I say change, I mean empty your pockets! Donald Trump needs to understand that you do not get paid by extorting your friends. You get paid by reminding them to buy your book. Hello, friends. Stories of Dating, Destiny, and Day Jobs, available in bookstores online and on Audible. Thank you so much.

Ha ha ha! stores online and on audible. Thank you so much. But money isn't the only thing on Trump's mind. He's also got that trial for paying off a porn star. So all rise for another edition of America's Most Tremendously wanted. For the past few days, the court has been struggling to find impartial jurors, and they finally found 12 magical New Yorkers with no conflicts or biases or dogs to take care of. But this morning things got off to a rocky start. Some breaking news to tell you about this morning in the Trump trial, one of the seated jurors has been excused. This oncology nurse, this woman, came into the courtroom today

and told the judge that she wanted to be dismissed because she was feeling that she wasn't going to be fair and impartial. She basically told the court that aspects of my identity have already been out there in the public yesterday alone. I had friends, colleagues, and family pushed things to my phone questioning my identity as a juror. And essentially because of that, the judge sort of reminded everyone that this needs to be an anonymous jury that members of the media and elsewhere really cannot get into very detailed things about descriptions of these people. He's talking about you! You're the media! This reporter just put her

entire LinkedIn page on the screen! And then was like people in the media need to stop doing this. You're the media! The call is coming from inside the screen. And then it was like people in the media need to stop doing this. You're the media! The call is coming from inside the newsroom, girl. That reporter gave fewer details than anybody. Look how they describe this juror on other news channels anonymously. Juror number two is a nurse. A young black woman, she's an oncology nurse at

Memorial Sloan Cuttering. The native New Yorker lives on the Upper East Side. An oncology nurse who loves dogs. Like to walk her dog in the park. She lives with her fiance. She's not married, has no kids and lives with her fiance who works in finance. Yeah I would have found this lady on Facebook in five seconds. It's 2024 that's enough information to track down anybody. Yeah, I would have found this lady on Facebook in five seconds. It's 2024. That's enough information to track down anybody. I once found a guy based on the shape of a cloud in the background of his IG story.

This is just so irresponsible. The media is basically out here playing, guess who, with this juror? They're like, we can report juror number three is a bald red head with no facial hair. Oh, you'll talk about Herman, yeah. You all know Herman? For more privacy concerns on the Trump jury, we turn to Troy Iwatta, live outside the courthouse. Troy, I feel so bad for these poor jurors.

They didn't sign up to get docks? I know, Dulce, it's terrible. We in the media, we have got to do a better job protecting jurors like Stephanie. Troy, did you just say her name? Oh, shit, juror number three. Sorry, Stephanie. I mean juror number three. Oh my God, she's going to be so mad.

You know, it's bad enough she has to commute all the way from 125th Street. Troy, don't tell people where she lives? Oh, no, no, it's no big deal. There's lots of Stephanie's with brown hair and green eyes that live on 125th Street and Riverside so we're fine. Adding more information on my okay okay just let's move on who were some of these new jurors and don't give me any personal details. No personal details total anonymity. Here's one of the new ones. All I'll say is that he is male he's Italian American he works at a bakery. Here's one of the new ones. All I'll say is that he is male.

He's Italian American. He works at a bakery. The bakery is called Gino's Bakery. And he is the he's Gino! No, no, no, no, Gino is his father, the original owner. Oh, okay, good. He is named after his father, though. Please just move on. Who else did they pick?

Well, they did select another male male and out of respect for his privacy. All I'm gonna say is he is male. But you put this man's picture up. Yes but we responsibly censored him. It says McGillicottie Family Vacation on the t-shirt! Oh shit, oh you're right. Okay, let's censor that. That. That. Yeah. Just, just, just forget the whole thing.

Just tell me, what happened at the trial today? Uh, well, the defendant. It's totally private now. Just tell me, what happened at the trile trial trile tod tod tod tod tod tod tod today today to totally private now. Just, just, just forget the whole thing. Just tell me, what happened at the trial today? Well, the defendant, whose name were restricting for privacy reasons. He was very agitated. Yeah. Very agitated today. Troy, honey, we know the defendant is Donald Trump.

He's not the one we need to keep secret. Better safe than sorry. Anyway, the defendant was angry all day, and at one point the defendant told the jury, Watch your backs, Stephanie Charles, Susan, Jamal, and Gina. Whoever those people are. Damn it, Troy, Troy, everyone! When we come back and find out how to stop paying your taxes. Don't go away.

Come on. Come on. Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election. Earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go,

but how many of them come out on Thursday? Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the Daily Show. It was tax day this week, but some people, and this is crazy, don't like paying taxes. And one of them is our own, Josh Johnson. It's long been known that in America, the rich often don't pay their fair share taxes. By exploiting a complex tax system filled with loopholes, the richest 1% pay a lot less than the average taxpayer. But how they do it?

And could I learn their tricks to help out the everyday taxpayer like you and I? I spoke to to tax expert Robert Wood LLP to find out the easiest the easiest the easiest the easiest the easiest the easiest the easiest the easiest the easiest the easiest the easiest the IRS. His first hit? Real estate. Big tax shelter, so generally speaking, you write off a piece of the building every year. So on like this year, I'll claim the bathroom and then like like the next year. But just to clarify, you only get to do this if you own the building, not do you work here. That is all very interesting, but I do not want the building. So, I'm back to square one. Charity is another one. So let's say I started charity, and my charity will be real. Very real. Okay. My charity of broke ass audits. Like, you get an audited, let's break off your broke ass a little cash, right? There are lots of people who've gotten in trouble with fake charities.

So that won't work. Churches are qualified charities, which is why some people have tried to start their own churches. So if I start my own church, I mean, how many followers are we talking? I don't think they call them followers, but I don't know. Oh, that's right, that's like a cult thing. Another thing that wealthy people do, you've got art, how much is it worth? Don't donate it to charity and if you donate it how much can you fairly write off? I have some artwork that I want to show you and don't hold back. Okay no offense but I mean it looks kind of infantile. My guess is it's not worth very much.

You need to talk to somebody who's a qualified art appraiser. I was really banking on the art thing working out. You're just not there yet, Josh. This was not looking good for my tax return, but there had to be something. One of my great tax planning secrets for you today is dying. If you want stock, or if you own the house at some point, hang on to it. It's the doing something with it selling that triggers tax. Then when you die, it's never taxed.

So dying turns out to be tax efficient. That's defer that's people count on. That's deferring right? Yeah Couldn't I just defer till I die? Yeah. Okay, so kill myself? Great, great advice. I want you to die generations from now. Thank you. It's a better tax deal anyways. Wow, okay. I do have a quick question for you then, since the rich are deferring on all these assets and they've hired tax lawyers to make sure that it stays? It's tax. tax. It's a tax. It's a tax. It's a tax. It's a tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax. Yeah. Yeah. tax tax tax. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. Yeah. tha. tha. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So. It's tha. It's tha. It's tha. It's tha. It's a tha. It's a tax. It's a tax. It's a tax. It's a tax. It's a tax. It's a tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax tax ta ta ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. t okay. I do have a quick question for you then, since the rich are deferring on all these assets and they've hired tax lawyers to make sure that it stays complicated and they're less likely it get audited. Yeah. Who is paying tax? Reggat. Reguilers. I mean everybody pays tax if they've got income and the wealthy people are paying tax too, but if you look at their income, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thea, thea, tha, tha, tha, tha, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, tax, ta, ta, tax, and tax, and tax, and tax, and tax, and tax, and tax, and tax, and tax, and tax, and tax, and tax, and tax, and tha, and tha, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ttheir income versus how much tax they're paying, they're typically paying a lot lower rates. So if we all learn the tax law and we all start doing these things, how will like roads get

built? Good question. Somebody at the lower end has to be paying the regular taxes to make room for the government to do those things. just don't be tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho th tho th tho th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho to to to to to to government to do those things. Just don't be poor. Okay. Yeah. That's, that's terrifying. The more you know about tax, the more terrifying it can be. That's why I don't sleep very much. So whether I become rich or just die, at least I know how to avoid my taxes like a millionaire. I'm man.

I do actually need your help picking this up. This is like all the money that I have. Yeah. I don't really. I'm not taking me anywhere. No, no, I didn't think you were going to take it. Thank you, Josh. When we come back, Prydy Spencer will be joining me on the show, so don't go away. Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about mythe election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is a country singer-songwriter whose debut album is called My Stupid Life.

Please welcome Britney Spencer! Come on today! Come on this! Come on! Come on again! Hello! Come on again! Hello! Hello! Hello? Hello? Hello?

Hello? First of all, hi titties. Hello? Hello? Hello? You had yours. Hello? Hello? First of all, hi titties. Hello. Hello. You had yours so awesome if my mind could be out a little bit too.

They were like, okay, we got to keep it like TV host. Yeah. But I was like, I want to tell you. I want to tell you. I mean, just make it feel powerful. They do make you feel powerful. Yeah. But one, I wanted you to know, so then when they asked me when I was like, got my hosting week, and they're like, who do you want to come? I was like, I'm Britney Spencer, you're on the top of my list. And I'm so glad you came because I didn't know what you could come.

I'm so glad you came. Thank you. Really? Really? I'm, I you want to tell people about your album? Like, you as an artist and what inspired you? Like, tell them everything so they can buy it, you put on the top of billboard charts, we can do a Grammys and stuff.

Oh my gosh, well first, thank you so first tellife this is my first time, like, this is like, thi in nighttime television yet, so this is like my first one and honestly this is cool. That's my stupid life, you know? I think with this album I want people to know that I love music. I love country music. It taught me how to tell a story.

It taught me how to connect with my own story. And this album is, it's a s a s a s, I love country music and I also love pop and I love rock and I love R&B and I love, just, I wish good was a genre sometimes, you know? I like to thread a lot of things together, but it's all kind of held together by how I interpret country music and the storytelling tradition that it is. So, as we are both black women. I don't know if anyone noticed. It's a, it can kind of feel scary or unsafe a lot of times to open up and let people in.

So how did you overcome that when you were writing the songs for this album? The same way I'm still trying to learn how to overcome it, I guess. I just try to be honest, you know, and I try to, anything that I do, I try to make it feel like an invitation, you know, for other people, you know? I feel like I make music for people who felt unseen, you know, or feel like they just feel like they're the only ones sometimes. And so that's kind of where my storytelling comes from and how I write songs. And being a black woman, I'm so thin a to to'm so happy to be black. I'm so happy to be a woman.

I'm so happy to be in country music. And like, it makes my experience. As I the artist, thank you. All of these things make my, they make my experience as a country artist way more. I think, like, I have a great time. Like, being part of th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. I, th. And, th. And, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi.'re bringing more than our complexion, we're bringing our culture. And so we're like, that's why we're fusing a lot of things together. I just think it's fun and it's more explorative

and I think there's a lot of creativity and innovation in that. And I don't know, it's just stepping into this, knowing country music historically has kind of left. th. th. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, and, and, to, th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi. And, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. And, like, like, like, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, you know, a hundred plus years. There's not really any expectation on what we should look or sound like, I guess, sometimes it feels like, you know, it's like, it's something about being like the underdog. It feels like it's, you get to kind of have a little more fun. That's what it feels like for me sometimes. Of course, I feel the struggle of it sometimes, but mostly, I'm just kind of focused I don't have to live up to a status quo because no one ever really gave me one because they didn't think I would be here. Right.

So you get to do fun things. Yes. It's um, like I feel like that sometimes like as a performer as in a comic and people ask me like, you know what it's like to be a woman in stand up and a woman in entertainment. And kind of like, it's like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, to, to, to, th. to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, like, like,'t have expectations of you, they get to be surprised by everything you do. Which is like, well all of this is great. Like, well you didn't think I could do half of this so when I'm doing all of it.

It's like, damn, she's good. Yeah, you were like, thanks. Thank you. Yeah, you were like, I think the other thing that's surprising to people, like, I grew up in Georgia, right? I grew up in the South. So we always heard country music. Yeah. And it didn't seem, and it went something that's crazy to us, and we always saw black people in country music, but not everybody saw black people in country music. And you describe your music as universal country. What does that mean? It means I just want to have a little something for everybody. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means. It means, I that. It means, I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to that it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, the the the the the the the the the the th. It's, th. It's thi. It's thi. It thi. It thi. It to to thi. It to to to to thi. It to to to thi. It the way it is. There's not one single song that sounds like another and I kind of like it that way. That's kind of how I listen to music. You know, I feel like there's so many

country artists before me that have kind of accomplished that, whether you talk about it, like a dolly or shania. I think that's really cool. I think that's really cool. that's they their th you you you you you you th you that's that's that's that's that's that's th. that's that's that's tho tho that's that's that's tho that's that's tho tho tho that's tho tho tho tho that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's tho th.

I think that's really cool. And that's what I want to do. I want to have fun, you know? I love country music. I'm also black. I'm also, I'm from Baltimore. You know, my grandparents are from the South, but my family moved to Baltimore. And that's a really eclectic mix, the thiwaurowns, and it's, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and I's, and I's, and I's, and I's, and I's, and I'm, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, I'm, tho, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I................................

because she does the same. Well, I do want to ask you one last question. What was the first country album that made you realize that you wanted to get into country music? Oh, the first one. And when you're just like, I could do this? Yeah. I remember when I first got introduced to country music, I was like 14 to 15 years old. And I became a fan of it.

I like, I dove in. I listened to the chicks and I was like, oh snap, what is happening? And I went on this whole journey of just listening to country music. And I feel like I can't remember exactly what Jovemu it was. I'm always annoyed at myself for not remembering that, but it sent me on a rabbit hole. I would say the artist that made me feel like, I would say the artist that made me feel like, maybe I don't have to just be a fan. Maybe I can actually do this. She was, she's poetic, she's from Pennsylvania, I'm from Maryland. It was something about like not having a twang and like, and being able to like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, to, to, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thetwing and like and being able to like fuse poetry and storytelling and also just being young and like vulnerable. It was something about that that made me feel like maybe I don't have to just kind of

be on the sidelines. Maybe I want to sing I've always wanted to sing and maybe this is giving me a little direction. Well I'm so happy to have you here. Now, hold on too.
