The Daily Show: Ears Edition - Trump Launches War on Drug Traffickers… Unless They’re Also Honduran Ex-Presidents | Asi Wind
Episode Date: December 4, 2025Josh Johnson tracks Trump's flimsy war on narco-terrorism, from threatening more war-crimey attacks on suspected Venezuelan drug traffickers to pardoning the Honduran ex-president who smuggled enough ...cocaine to get the whole world high, and Troy Iwata just wants a clear answer: drugs good or drugs bad? Is the AI bubble at risk of popping? Ronny Chieng sits down with Peter Wildeford of the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy to investigate the risks of AI taking our jobs and tanking our economy as the “circle jerk” of AI companies goes all-in on robots. Award-winning magician and mentalist Asi Wind talks to Josh Johnson about his “More Than Magic” U.S. and Australia tour, the trick that (literally) sparked his passion for the craft, and why he sees magic as a collaboration with his audience.

You're listening to Comedy Central.
From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only
sorts for new. This is The Daily Show with your host, Josh Johnson.
Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Josh Johnson. We've got so much to talk about tonight. The War on Drugs continues, and this time we're on the side of drugs.
We break down the latest tips to kiss Trump's ass and bad news.
AI might kill us soon, but good news, AI might kill us soon.
So let's get into the headlines.
Let's begin with President Trump.
He started his second term in January, promising to keep America out of foreign wars.
Now it's December, and he almost made it a year.
President Trump hinting at land strikes in Venezuela as backlash on the controversy.
boat strikes deepens.
We're going to start doing those strikes on land, too.
You know, the land is much easier.
It's much easier.
And we know the routes they take.
We know everything about them.
We know where they live.
We know where the bad ones live.
We know where they live.
We know if they've been good or bad.
What is he, drone strikes, Santa?
So, yeah, Trump is launching a war on narco-terrorists,
which, by the way, I get why he calls them
narco-terrorists, because Americans know
to feel about terrorists. We hate those guys.
But if you just say it's a war on drug
dealers, that's a person
we invited
to bring us drugs
that we wanted.
That's like if they told you to start
hating your Amazon delivery guy.
Like, that's your guy.
He's bringing your blender.
But hey, this war
in Venezuela just shows how serious
Donald Trump is about going after these
drug traffickers. If there's even one
guy on a little fishing boat, Trump's taken
him out. So drug dealers, watch
your back. President Trump has
issued a full and unconditional pardon
for the former president of Honduras.
Juan Orlando Hernandez was
serving a 45-year sentence
after he was convicted on major
drug trafficking charges in the U.S.
last year. Like I
just said,
drug dealers, watch
your back because Trump is about to give
you a nice massage.
I don't even know
what's crazier that President Trump is
pardoning the president of Honduras for selling drugs,
or that the president of Honduras was selling drugs.
People work their whole lives just to become president,
so for you to get there and say to yourself,
now I get to do my dream.
It's crazy.
At least Walter White had a teacher salary.
You're the president, and not only are you selling drugs,
you're so bad at it, you get arrested in a whole different country.
But maybe I'm missing something about this pardon.
Maybe he's not some kingpin.
I mean, this is America, the country that locks people up for years
just because they happen to have a little baggy of drugs.
How do we know this marginalized president deserved 45 years?
I'm sure whatever this guy did, it wasn't that bad.
Juan Orlando Hernandez helped smuggle 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.
I'm sorry, 400 tons of cocaine?
First of all, how do you even shove all that up your ass?
I didn't even know you could measure cocaine in tons.
It's like if someone told you they weighed 48 degrees Fahrenheit.
Like, the fucking talking about?
400 tons of cocaine, that sounds like all the colors.
like all the cocaine in the world.
Give me another unit based on not all the cocaine in the world.
More than 400 tons, which is about 4.5 billion, individual doses of cocaine.
Doses?
Is that the term?
Hey man, I'm going to head to the bathroom and do a couple of recommended serving sizes.
You can tell this
this is someone who doesn't know about cocaine
because you don't measure it in doses.
You measure it in half-written screenplays.
That's like saying,
hey, do you mind if I get another dollop of meth?
But the point is,
But the point is, in the middle of an active war against drug traffickers,
Donald Trump has pardoned a man who smuggled in enough cocaine
to give every American resting Cash Patel face.
It's confusing to say the least, but if I know Donald Trump,
he'll have a very coherent and well-thought-out explanation.
for this pardon.
You've made so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the U.S.
Can you explain more about why you would pardon a notorious drug trafficker?
Well, I don't know who you're talking about.
You know you've been pardoning too many people when you're like,
I'm sorry, which notorious drug lord are we talking about?
At least give me the first letter and we'll be here all night.
It's wild how Trump always talks to the media like he's in court.
He's like, I don't know who you're talking about.
I wasn't there.
I'm not even here.
But after they reminded Trump who this guy was,
he did have some semblance of an explanation.
Well, you take a look.
I mean, they could say that you take any country you want.
If somebody sells drugs in that country,
that doesn't mean you arrest the president
and put him in jail for the rest of his life.
And that includes this country, okay?
To be honest, I mean, if somebody does something wrong,
do you put the president of the country in jail?
Clearly Trump is worried about a slippery slope here.
It's like that classic poem.
First they came for the wildly corrupt presidents,
and I said nothing because that would be admissible in court.
But I'll be honest, I don't think Trump pardoned another president
so that he could get pardoned later.
That's just too smart for Trump.
It's like seeing a monkey draw a cube.
There's no way he knew.
that's what he was drawing.
There had to be another
dumber reason why Trump pardoned Hernandez.
The ex-president of Honduras
wrote a letter to President Trump
back in October, calling Trump
your excellency and praising Trump's
resilience in what he called
the face of political persecution,
writing in part, just as you, President Trump,
I have suffered political persecution,
targeted by the Biden-Harris administration.
it was that easy
all you have to do is write Trump a letter
saying that Biden framed you
for something you definitely did
had a trial for and were convicted of
you are the most did it
because if it really is that easy you know
what this means
I don't think Diddy can read or write
For more on the pardoning
of the former Honduran president
we turn to our very own Troy Awada.
Troy, what's the latest?
Josh, Josh, I am here in the jungles
talking to the drug cartels
and they are ecstatic about the pardon.
Mr. Trump, they read you loud and clear.
The war on drugs is over, and the drugs won, all right?
Let's fill these baggies, okay?
Josh, Josh, does this look like a gram to you?
No.
No, okay.
Well, it's close enough.
So stand by, Mr. President.
The drugs are on their way.
Hold on, man.
Trump only pardoned one person.
He is still blowing up all those boats in Venezuela.
Is that right?
Is that right?
Is that right?
That's right.
All right.
All right.
War on drugs is back on, all right?
Padres, we gotta, we gotta get rid of this stuff.
We got to get rid of it now, okay?
Cancelen la cacaina, Los Gringos
Los Van a drone attack, okay?
Oh, go on.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Dude, don't do cocaine on TV.
Oh, calm down, you noob.
It's just like one dose.
Okay, look, we just, we gotta get underground
before Trump locks us up for life, right?
Well, he'll probably let you go free
if you just blame it on Joe Biden.
Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, okay.
Chikas, we are back in business.
All right.
So as long as we suck up to Trump, we're golden.
All right?
This is amazing.
Josh, I feel like I have an eye for this.
Do you feel like I have an eye for this, Josh?
What do you think, Josh?
Josh.
Are you there, Josh?
Wait, wait.
Troy, Troy, Troy.
Sucking up doesn't always work.
Venezuela is doing it now, but Trump's still about to bomb them.
Okay, well, God damn it.
I mean, make up your mind, America.
Do you want drugs or not?
God, God, I feel like I'm back in high school again
when I couldn't tell who was wearing the dare.
shirts ironically or not.
Just like, tell me what the
policy is. I mean, I think
the policy is whatever the president
wants to do at the time. Okay.
Well, that's f***ed up.
Why do you
keep doing that? I don't know. I'm starting
to think this stuff is addictive.
Troy Al-Wad, everyone.
When we come back,
we find out if AI is going to put us
on the street, so don't go away.
Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Artificial intelligence might enslave the entire human race,
but what if it did something even worse?
Ronnie Chang has more.
America is spending hundreds of billions of dollars on AI infrastructure.
Wait, why are we spending hundreds of billions of dollars on AI infrastructure?
Ah, damn it, I'm going to have to talk to some nerd about this, aren't I?
Like Peter Wilderford, of the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy.
I've used AI. Did I ejaculate? Yes.
Was it the best sex thing ever? Not really.
So what's the big deal about it?
The big deal is what AI might be able to do in the future.
The level of investments actually now even exceeding the Manhattan Project.
That's right, the Manhattan Project.
The four-year program where the U.S. spend the equivalent of 37 billion in today's dollars
to build a working nuclear bomb, all in an attempt to finally defeat Barbie once and for all.
So why is the AI infrastructure build-out costing 10 times that?
It is essentially a big bet that AI will generate a lot of profit in the future,
and that we will get AGI before the money runs out.
Obviously, I know what AGI is,
but for dumb asses like Michael Costa,
who might be watching this,
could you please explain it to them?
AGI stands for artificial, general intelligence.
It's a hypothetical future form of AI that can do anything a human can do.
Current AI systems have narrow intelligence,
which means they're great at simple tasks,
but when it comes to complex actions in the real world,
they...
Holy shit!
It's fucking head fell off!
But these AI companies are betting billions
that their systems will improve to be as capable as a human at most tasks,
also known as AGI.
My character Megan, was that killed by AI or was that AGI?
Megan was, I think, probably a form of AGI.
I thought it was a great movie kind of showing what could happen with an AGI system
that they didn't know how to control.
Yeah, I'm glad you liked my movie.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Wait, you said you watched it.
You didn't see me in there?
No.
How did you miss one-third of the movie?
I was the main villain.
I kind of thought Megan was the villain.
Yeah, but I was the secondary antagonist.
What you look at your phone?
I was on the airplane.
Well, that's not the optimal experience.
But as Billion's porn to AI, some pundits are starting to use the B word.
We are in a bubble.
We're in a bubble of some sort that will pop at some time.
Or read in the AI bubble.
Of course.
That preview best an old man is.
It's not a bubble.
All that's happening is the three biggest players
in the AI world have created a circular flow of deals
worth billions.
Nvidia invest in Open AI,
who turns around and invest in cloud computing from Oracle,
who then reaches around to Nvidia to buy chips.
These contracts jack up their stock prices and...
Oh, wait, now I see it.
So this is the most expensive circle joke of all time.
Yes, 25% of the stock market is a bet on AI.
The f***.
If these deals don't work out, there could be a stock market crash and the public would be the ones left holding the bag.
All right, well, I mean, I guess that sucks for the public.
Well, you're part...
Wait, am I part of the public?
I think we're all part of the public.
It would affect basically the entire stock market in the entire economy.
You could potentially even get a recession.
I can't be poor.
But Peter says if AI actually delivers on his promises, things could get even worse.
If the bet pays off, AGI could potentially take all our jobs and we would have mass unemployment.
Okay, I don't know, I don't care about any of this.
Right, capitalism is killing us.
I mean, I don't think that it's necessarily capitalism killing us.
The CEOs, the companies themselves are saying there's a one in five chance their own technology might wipe out all of humanity.
Would you fly in a plane that had a one in five chance of crashing?
Well, are you on the plane watching my movie
and not remembering I was in it?
Because then, yes, I would like that plane to crash.
There could be immense concentration of power,
or we could even fight, like, World War III over this technology.
So we'll all die, but at least we'll be rich.
Yes, until the death part.
Right, that's fine. I can live with that.
Man, you scared me for a second.
Whether it crashes the markets, takes out jobs,
or starts World War III, AI is changing the world,
just like the Manhattan Project.
As a visionary genius once said,
there shouldn't be any ambiguity
over what a historic occasion this is.
Just one of many great lines
from my unforgettable character in Megan.
Hint, hit, Peter.
Thank you, Ronnie.
When we come back, Aston Winn will be joining me on the show,
so don't go away.
You, and the Per Noelle,
the pro of the embellage caduce.
But Riesce's, the demand,
Cote of deballage, is who the maillard?
The mull Reese, on beard-arachid,
met your art of the deballage of the de brad-racheet,
and chocolate fondant by packet,
you have to what to train?
To find, again, and again,
this pleasure, sucre, saline,
and again.
And again, the Pern-N-Hell has his biscuits,
you, Tarrice.
And there's nothing like Rees's.
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
My guest tonight is an award-winning magician and mentalist
who's more than Magic Tour returns in January.
Please welcome, Asi Wind.
Thank you so much for being here.
Thanks for having me.
Yeah, I, okay, so I love magic a lot.
I'm happy you do.
I am a huge fan.
And I think that out of all the magicians that I've watched,
especially because I really fell in love with it young,
so I would watch it on VHS tapes
and just be like so engaged with,
with everyone, and you're, like, the only magician that really
looks like a normal person.
I'm not true it's a compliment.
No, no, it's just, I'm just saying there's like, I feel like
so many people are trying to be, like, extra, extra, like,
out there, mysterious and everything, and you have a presence
and just a general demeanor that's very inviting, and I'm
wondering if that's on purpose, like, if you are, if that's your approach
to magic.
It's because I'm just not naturally cool.
Should I go with the flow?
You know, it's, yeah, here's a real answer.
I really think that people take themselves a little too seriously,
and magicians especially, they try to look really cool.
Let's face it, we are nerds.
We do car tricks.
So I'm honest about my...
Take it from here.
You know what I mean?
No, I'm with you.
Do you remember the first trick that you ever saw?
I do.
I don't know if it's the first one, but it's the one that got me.
Someone had a lit cigarette.
He would make a fist, and he would push a lit cigarette into his face like that,
open his hand, and it's gone.
And I learned it, and that's the only trick I wanted to do.
I became a human ashtray.
My parents were heavy smokers, you know, and I would, Mom, give me,
and I admitted, I also wanted to help their health.
but it really
that's the first trick that kind of comes to mind
then would you do it as soon as they lit up
you're like I gotta show you something
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
it's a double purpose
it's amazing and it saves
life
yeah absolutely
and so your approach to magic
I feel like is
a bit different because like I said
you're very inviting and everything
but you also have
you have an openness
about what is going
on that I think is unique.
Because like you said with other magicians,
trying to be super mysterious and everything,
I think a lot of other magicians want you to think
that they have powers, like actual superpowers.
And I feel like you're very much like,
we're going to make something together.
Absolutely.
First of all, I feel like I'm in therapy.
But no, and I like it.
I really do like it.
It's like I'm reflecting.
But here's a deal.
Yeah, it probably manifests my.
opinions in life, in general, that, you know, people ask me, like, what art do you like?
You go to a museum, you see a piece of art or whatever.
Which art am I attracted to?
It's the one that feels sincere.
Meaning, if I see a painting with splashes of paint and this, every stick, every gimmick there
is on a canvas, I go, this guy is trying to impress me.
And when I see, like, Lucy and Freud, who I really love, the painting looks sincere.
It looks like he meant every brush.
stroke. That's the one I like.
So it's, I'm sharing my passion.
I, something I thought, I was lucky.
I was young, 13. I was young and
stupid. I said, yeah, I can do this, you
know, and I follow the dream
because, and I'm sharing with, with the audience,
hey, look, I love this. I hope
you do too, you know, and I, let me show what I,
yeah, that's my approach in life
for a lot of things.
So, yeah. Yeah, and not to put
you on the spot. Oh, no, also, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Wow.
I don't need to do magic.
I'm just going to say these things.
Okay.
I don't want to put you on the spot, but do you have anything for us?
You're going to put me on the spot.
Yeah.
But you don't want to.
I don't want to.
But you will.
But I have to.
Is it cool if I put you off?
Okay, got you.
So let me show you something.
This is, again, I wanted to do something that I have not done in a long time.
And I'm going to show you what I mean.
If you were just randomly to place her finger quickly, quickly on a piece, on a knee card,
quickly, go, go, go, go, go, go.
You're going for five of diamonds.
Can we see this?
Five of diamonds.
Now, I did it with the cards face up.
It's a deliberate choice you made.
Do you have a reason why you touch this and not this or this or this or that?
Why five of diamonds?
I don't have the best aim.
I didn't want to poke your thumb.
Okay, so this was a convenient choice.
No, so forget that.
Five of diamonds is nice, but what if you were to name a card, any card you want?
What would name what?
King of spades.
King of spades. Okay, king of spades.
Right there. You don't want the five of clubs.
You want king of spades.
Sure? Yes? Yes.
Yeah.
Yes. Okay. This is not a quiz.
But look, on the back of these cards, if you look, I drew a little figure stick.
You see this? Yeah?
Stick figure is supposed to say.
Stick figure. And it's like a movie.
You see this? It kind of moves.
You see? It's so cool, right?
Huh? That's a teaser.
But listen, he knew how you think.
He knew you first going to touch, which one, you tie five diamonds first.
So look at this.
He goes behind a curtain, and he keeps one card, and it happens to be the five of diamonds.
Ah!
But hold on, hold on.
He did not, no, he did not stop there.
He knew we have five of diamonds, right?
He drops it to the ground and he keeps one extra card in the hat
just in case.
He goes inside and he pulls out one other card.
It happens to be the king of spades.
And then we have the five of diamonds and the king of spades.
That's dope.
Okay.
Okay.
You want to do this?
Okay.
We'll do this.
Okay. But here's the thing that I think when I when I see how you do magic and how even like, you know, online there's people who go viral for magic tricks they do and everything, I think that your approach is so human that it is timeless because it will be, it will, it will last as long as people last. You know what I mean? Whereas I think very, I mean, not long.
20 minutes, but like, but I think that in that timelessness,
is that also being factored in into your approach?
Do you think of tricks, or do you want to do tricks
that feel very, like, in the moment that's a great memory?
Or do you look at them as things that should last?
Absolutely.
I mean, I want to do work that if I look back at it,
I go, I still love it, I still like it.
Here's the deal.
We live in a world where technology is a real threat
magic, right? We look at AI. We look at all the things. Magicians were always afraid
of technology. There's a magician, David Devon, many years ago, was asked by a reporter,
are you afraid of the new technology being a threat to magic? He goes, yes. And they were
talking about the telegraph back then. They were scared then. But here's the deal. I'm
not scared because technology cannot compete with one thing. People come to the theater,
come to my show, and flatter by it. They buy a ticket, right, to see magic. Not.
because I do magic. Because they want to see it. People have a desire to see magic. I'm only
there to help them. So I think that's, they're the co-authors of the show. Without them,
there is no magic. If some people say, ah, slide of hand, ah, they can dismiss it in a second
and they see nothing. Some people say, I want to believe, I want to see it. So for an hour
and a half, I'm there to help them.
No, I understand.
Yeah, it's very true as well, because it's like, even as a magician and a very accomplished one at that,
you're not sitting in your room by yourself like, I can't believe I did it.
You know what I mean?
Like you're...
Sometimes, but...
No, no, no, never, never.
I say, this is going to...
That's not going to fool anyone.
You know, and it's...
So magic is...
The way we go about it, it starts with a dream, right?
My dream is to...
Like, let's say, this thing I did with the card, which is a classic, that's a modern...
and this is my take on it.
I wanted the idea that the little figure would be able to guess two cards.
How do you do this?
And you start and you think and you make a million versions
until you get to a place, okay, this looks good.
But it's a lot of work, and our job is to make it look effortless, of course,
but it's not.
It's really a lot of work.
And can you tell me about your show?
You're going to be in the U.S. and Australia.
Yes, we're doing that.
Nine shows at the Sydney Opera House?
Yes, and I'm very excited about it.
So we're continuing our East Coast more than Magic Tour.
We're going to have a bunch of dates in Florida.
And after that early February, we're going to go to the Sydney Opera House.
And I'm very excited.
Very excited.
Congratulations.
It's going to be special.
Have you been?
Have you been?
I have been to Sydney, but not the Opera House.
So thanks for rubbing it in.
I believe you can.
No, but I believe you should.
Let's do it together.
You want to do it together?
Yes.
That would be crazy.
Are you being serious?
Sure.
Okay.
You could just have me up there the whole time being like, oh, oh.
That will help the show a lot.
That would really help.
Usually people have like a beautiful assistant.
I'll just be a scared one.
You'll be a both.
You'll be both.
Can I put you on the spot one more time?
Okay.
Okay.
So I have a map of the United States.
okay
and I would like you to think
of a random place
a city and a state
in the United States
it has to be in the United States
you cannot choose Canada
I mean soon you'll be able to
but as of now
no I'm saying it's within
you know and
we're going to do something crazy
if I find
you already have a place
a random place in mind
if I find it right now and I say
oh you're thinking of blah blah blah
not impressive
you will find it not me
okay and here
Here's how we do this.
We just like this, okay?
It's an instance stick, I think, yeah?
Is that what you call it?
Okay, and hold it by the corner.
And as I move over the map,
whenever you call stop, I will poke a little hole
with your eyes closed.
You say stop, let's say Montana, it will be the state.
But I will not be able to, you'll guess it by yourself.
So close your eyes, and think about first the state.
Think about the state, and you say the word stop.
second I'm just trying not to sneeze stop okay do I open you can open your
eyes okay and we already know the the state is a Wyoming right and he stopped
me and I stopped exactly it's the state is Wyoming no okay but it's close to
Wyoming like if you took an Uber no no no it's fine you can say no no no no it's fine
You can say no.
No, it's fine.
No.
Okay, it's a new, I have an idea.
What if I poke a bigger hole, it's going to keep burning, you know,
and eventually it will get to your place.
No?
Okay, we'll try this.
So, here, I'll burn a little, like, try to make a little bigger hole here.
Okay, yeah, there we go.
It's cold, yeah.
Now, is your place east or west?
Just tell me that.
It is east.
East.
So think east, and maybe the burn will go to the east.
Okay?
Yeah, yeah. It's kind of favoring. It's favoring east. It's favoring east, right?
Oh.
Yeah, yeah, it's a favoring east.
Is it, don't say, just think south or north, okay? Just think it.
Okay. I can tell you right now, yeah, it seems to me that it's slowly making its way up north towards Canada, obviously, towards Iowa, Minnesota.
Yes. Is it your place is more north? No. You're saying no? Okay. So let's see.
focus then south okay okay so if you focus south yeah it's going north are you thinking south
no no so i'm i'm trying to i'm trying to think things you have to think oh i'm sorry
maybe you say say say south south south south south oh oh look it's making new turn it's making
you turn yeah it's it's pivoting down it's going towards uh missouri arkansas louisne is that the
right direction uh yeah close your eyes close your eyes close right i want you to think now about
The city, the city in the state you're thinking of.
Are you thinking?
It's going towards Missouri.
Are we in the right state, Missouri?
Yes.
Okay, good, good, good.
It's going to, let's zoom on.
Yeah, we see it.
It's going down and down.
Whenever you want, take your time, say the word, stop.
Oh, I thought something touched me.
Okay.
Say stop whenever you want.
Stop?
Stop?
Yeah.
Okay, let's see if it stops by itself.
Do I open my eyes?
Oh, it stopped.
Yeah, yeah.
It stopped.
Don't look.
Don't look, don't look, don't.
Can you tell us the place you're thinking of?
Springfield, Missouri.
Look where it stopped right there.
Open your eyes.
We stopped on Springfield, Missouri.
And by the way, if you ever find yourself,
in Wyoming and you're lost.
This will guide you all the way.
And you can, please.
Oh, thank you.
Y'all, okay.
So this leads me to my next question.
You know, you do great tricks and stuff,
but there's got to be some people who don't love it
after it's done where they're like,
does anybody freak out and run away?
There's some people who freak out,
runaway hate me, but, yes, some people don't love magic because they take it as a challenge
to, an intellectual challenge, and I'm not there to do that. I'm there, I spend many hours
just to figure out this magic, but some people take it too personal and they say, oh, this is
offending, you know, offending me in some way. So, yeah, it happens. My job is with the humor and all that
and presentation, and there's lots of audience
participation in my show, is
to tell, hey, we're here together to do this,
you know, to have fun.
Yeah. No, this is fun.
This is very fun.
And even though
I have been more freaked out that I thought
I was going to be when I asked
you to come on, I
am having a good time. I want you
to think I'm not having fun.
It looks. Yeah, yeah.
Like, this is amazing.
It's just taking a second to process.
You know what I mean?
It's like I imagine what you do is like the first time somebody saw somebody dunk,
where they were like, I didn't even know you could.
Wow.
I promise not to freak out.
Can you show me one more thing?
Sure.
So now we're going into improv land.
I have no idea what I'm going to do, but I'm going to try.
Okay.
So maybe we can get a shot from above.
Can we see it from above?
So you verify to the audience all different.
all mixed up. It's not the same card repeated, right?
Uh-huh.
So here's a question.
If I just base some, let's say, here, okay?
Name any car that pops into your head right this second.
Remember, the deck is here. I can't lose anything.
Seven hearts.
You don't know where the seven hearts.
The seven hearts could be literally, it could be here, right?
It could be there.
It could be right where I cut it.
That is wild.
In my country, that's considered amazing.
Yeah.
No, no, I'm just saying.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
They did not respond to.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, I'm with you.
Here.
Name a different card.
Name a different card.
Whichever you want.
Anyone.
King of Spades.
King of Spades.
Remember, you chose before.
Are you sure you want to still go to the King of Spades?
Who?
No.
Okay.
That changed in everything.
Yeah, King of Spades.
Okay.
Now, you don't know where it is, right?
Can you pick one?
Take one out?
Okay.
One, one, one out.
Oh, okay.
One, not to.
This or this, you're changing.
You want to change.
You're good with this?
I'm okay.
You're sticking to this.
Yes.
And you wanted to be king of spades.
And you could have named any one of these cards.
Take a look what you chose.
Take a look.
The, uh.
This is crazy.
Yeah.
Right.
Not to be confused by you, a second to open your hand.
You chose king of spades.
Yeah.
But you also chose seven of hearts before.
So if you switched it and you chose seven,
chose seven of hearts first it would be this then I will change it again you know what I
mean yeah I'm just saying if we're mm-hmm it's yeah and by the way it's
just for backup okay I'm so I'm so glad you haven't started a cult thank you so much for
be in here. Thank you so much.
