Oh, I'm so excited. So, let's do this people. Let's jump straight into off with some good news. The Food and Drug Administration has been given the green light to finally approve COVID

vaccines for children under the age of five, which means there are a lot of toddlers who are about to be popping apple juice in the club. It's just like, I got a diaper, I'm going on night, bitches. And this is also very good news for Herschel Walker, because statistically one out of every five kids in America is secretly his. No, but for real, for real, this is great news for parents of young children because while the rest of us, you know,

got vaccines and went back to normal, a lot of parents were stuck in thaaaaaaaaaa, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, to, to thii, to thi, thi, to to to to thi, to to to to to to thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th............................... to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, th... And, th. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, too, the, too. And, tooe. And, tooe. And, to, tooe. And, toe. And, toe. And, to, to, to, to, to normal, a lot of parents were stuck in pandemic mode with their unvaccinated kids. Yeah, they were just staring out the window at everyone else having fun. And it was like, oh, they're going to the movies again. Oh, I should have used the condom. Now, of course, if you're not a parent, this is the worst news ever. Because I don't know about you guys. But I've definitely noticed that over the past two years, you know, I haven't heard any kids throwing tantrums in the supermarkets. There's been no toddlers kicking my seat in the movie theater. And there were basically no children screaming on airplanes. Yeah, only those crazy Trump supporters who didn't want to wear a mask. Whah! Whah! Yeah, my mommy!

But just because COVID is on the back foot right now, it doesn't mean it's not still putting up a fight. Dr. Anthony Fauci has tested positive for COVID. The 81-year-old chief medical advisor for President Biden is fully vaccinated, double-boosted. He is currently taking the antiviral treatment-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-viral-a-a-viral-viral-viral-in, tha-in, tha-in, tha-in, t, t, t, t, th-in, th-in, th-i-in-i-n, th-n, th-n, th-n-n-n-i-i-i-n-i-nus-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ni-ne-ni-ne-ne-ne-ni-n, thi-n, thi-n, thi-n, thi-n. thi-nsovio-nsoviovioviova-nsova-nsova-nsova-nsovio-nsovooooo-nosed-no-no-no-mo-mo-mo-mo-mo-mo-nosed-mo-nosed-nosed-nosed-nosed-nosed-nosed-nosed-nosed-ment Paxlevid. The 81-year-old is only experiencing mild symptoms. We are told he has not been in close contact with the president and will now work from home. That's right. Dr. Fauci has COVID, which feels a little like finding out smoky bear got trapped in a

forest fire. It's like damn. I'm actually surprised that Fauci is only getting COVID now and didn't get it, didn't get it while he was like with Trump every day. Well think about every single day Trump was like, okay COVID-JAS force, we're gonna kick off today's meeting by breathing in each other's mouths for 10 to 15 minutes just to get the energy flowing. Anthony, come here, Anthony, open their beautiful mouth, Anthony. Open it wine. Open, open, open a wine.

And you know the saddest part, Dr. Fauci? And yes, I'm talking to you, Dr. Fauci. I know you watched the show. It's the fact that you didn't come to the White House Correspondence dinner, yeah. The president was there, Kim Kardashian was there, but you didn't come because you said you didn't want to catch COVID. And then you caught COVID anyway. Yeah, probably from some boring government meeting. And you see, let me tell you something now, people.

That's my philosophy in life. I'm vaccinated. So, if I'm getting COVID, you best best, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, I'm getting COVID, you best believe I'm doing it in style, okay? Yeah, I'm not gonna get it from some bitch-ass PowerPoint presentation, no. People will ask me, Trevor, where did you get your COVID? And I'll be like, oh, that was one hell of a night. Oh, oh, oh, oh, damn. Bad believe.

I will say, though. What a big moment for COVID as well, huh? To finally infect Dr. Anthony Fauci. I bet COVID was really star-struck when it got in his body. Oh my god, oh my god! Oh my god! It's really you! Oh I'm so excited! I need to catch my breath. I need to catch my breath. Oh, oh man, Dr. Fauge, I'm inside you. This is so crazy. Hold on. I got a face-time my boys. I got to face time my boys. Hey, yo, guess whose lungs I'm in? I know! I know! And somehow I'm still tall than him. This is crazy! Crazy! Ah! Ah! Okay. Let's move on from the pandemic in people's lungs to the pandemic in America's democracy.

Today was the third day of the January 6 hearings, aka V.H.1's Behind the Riot. Now, this session focused predominantly on Mike Pence, former vice president and the inspiration behind the white noise machine. Because you see, Trump's entire plan to overturn the election hinged on Mike Pence agreeing to break the law by not certifying the election results. And today, we heard what might be the funniest recounting of the conversation that Trump actually had with Mike Pence, where the funniest recounting of the conversation that Trump actually had with Mike Pence, where the vice president would not agree to Trump's scheme, no matter how hard the Donald tried.

In the book peril, journalist Bob Woodward and Robert Costa write that the president said, quote, if these people say you have the power, wouldn't you want to? The vice president says, quote,, wouldn't you want to? The Vice President says, quote, I wouldn't want any one person to have that authority. The President responds, but wouldn't it almost be cool to have that power? Vice President is reported to have said, no, look, I've read this, and I don't see a way to do it. We've exhausted every option. I've done everything I could and then some to find a way around this. It's simply not possible. My interpretation is no. To

which the president says, no, no, no. You don't understand, Mike. You can do this. I don't want to be your friend anymore if you don know, this is the paradox of Donald Trump. Like, this is really the paradox of Donald Trump. Like, this is really the paradox. Like, he has the most terrifying schemes in the world, but he executes them in the most hilarious ways. But he executes them in the most hilarious ways. Because Trump basically, he lives his entire life as if he's the bad kid in one of those anti-smoking PSAs. You know, he's like, come on, Mike, just try overturning the election. I thought you wanted to be cool.

Also, by the way, if there's one person who you can't entice with cool, it's Mike Pence. He's the least cool man in the world. The man wouldn't even watch the tele-tubbies because they don't wear pants. And you know what's crazy about the story? Because Trump said it like this, because he said it like this, you actually believe that is true.

Right? Because if the reporting was that, Pence said, sir, we we we we we we we th, we th, we th is, we th is, we th is, we thi, we thi, we thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thus, thus, thus, that, thi, thi, thi, the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, because thi, thi, because thi, thi, thi, because thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, because thi, thi, because thi, thi, the the the the the the the the the te tean te te te tean te t. And then Trump said, my interpretation of the Constitution offers ample precedent, both legal and historical. People would be like, yeah, there's no way that happened. That didn't happen. That's not real. But I don't want to be a friend anymore. You like, yeah, that's my dude. That's my dude, that's my dude right there.

That sounds like him. I also find it crazy that Trump thought they were friends. Not coworkers, not acquaintances as friends? How would that even be possible? What do Pence and Trump have to bond over, huh? He's just hanging out on the weekend, like, thanks for bringing me to this club, Mike. The music's a little lame, but the ladies are looking good. Ah, Mr. President, it's church. Oh, that's why it burned when I walked through the door.

Totally get it, totally get it. All right, but let's move on to some international news. Here in America, global supply chain issues have caused shortages of everything, from tampons to baby formula formula and even PlayStation 5s, which sucks. Now I have to play Eldon Ring in my head. Ah, damn, this is so hard! But it turns out the global supply chain also affects the globe. And right now, in Pakistan, the supply chain is coming for an integral part of their daily life.

Pakistani tea drinkers remain divided. A day after a government minister urged them to cut down on their daily hot beverage as the country struggles with an economic crisis. Pakistan's planning and development minister says it's getting increasingly expensive for the country to import tea as supplies outstripped demand. Tea is a hugely popular drink in the country of 220 million people and the government has to spend about 600 million dollars on tea imports every year. The average person in Pakistan is believed to drink at least three cups of tea a day, but the minister called for people to drink one or two cups less per day, sparking outrage.

I knew it. I knew this would happen. Yeah, people have been running around spilling the tea for the past few years and now look! There's a shortage. Are you happy shade room? Are you happy? By the way, I love how they mix the tea. The rest of us do tea boring and just like, they're like, wow, wow, whop. And I know people can get outraged about anything, but I'm not going to lie. It is kind of funny to hear a story about anyone getting outraged over tea.

No, because you always think of tea drink, you can take my old gray out of my cold dead hands! It's so it's so wild. It's like seeing Tom Hanks dropping the F-bomb. I mean, that's where you know you f-ed up, you know what I mean? But when you understand how popular tea is in Pakistan, it makes sense, right? All of the outrage makes sense. This is part of their national identity. It's like asking France to cut out chrassants or North Korea to stop launching missiles at dolphins. That's just what they do. And I don't know if Pakistan will give up tea. I mean they wouldn't even give up Bin Laden, you know? But too soon? I will say this. Pakistan's government has to be careful about this.

Yeah. Tea shortages are no joke. Just look at America. You see what happens? When your people get pissed off about tea, yeah, first there's a tea party. Then there's a revolution. Before you know it, there's a great depression. Then you're fighting Vietnam.

No one can afford houses, and suddenly you're making a movie where Ryan guzzling is Barbie! Don't do it, Pakistan! All right, finally, cities all over the world are always trying to find ways to encourage people not to litter. In Japan, they use collective shame. In Singapore, they'll just whip your ass. In New York, we've just made the entire city one big trash can. So, technically it's not even possible to litter. In Singapore, they'll just whip you're just In New York, we've just made the entire city one big trash can, so technically it's not even possible to litter. But in Sweden, they've come up with something that might be the most effective method yet. Talking dirty in Sweden, literally, a Swedish city has launched a campaign to encourage people to throw away their trash. Yeah, a couple of trash cans have been installed and are programmed to respond with seductive

audio messages after somebody throws away their trash. Mmm, thank. Oh, just there I am. Mm, a little more to the measter next time. Ah, that was gauler. Mmm, more! Come soon to back and do that again. Well, I guess now we know what it's like when Oscar the Grouch gets his f*** on. I did not see that again. Well, I guess now we know what it's like when Oscar the Grouch gets his f-feeck on. I, uh, did not see that coming. Just, and just by the way, uh,

all the guys who are using that trash can, I hope you know that it's faking it, right? That's probably dudes walking away thinking, oh, I throw good trash. No, you don't. No, you don't. It's actually funny how stupid men are. With such simple, stupid creatures. This would never work on women. On men it works. Yeah, like we can wear as many ties as we want, but we've, but we've, but we've, but we've just, thua, thua, thua, thua, thua, thua, tho, tho, thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. That's, thi. That's, thi. That's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. And, thii. And, thiiiii. And, thii. And, probably, thi. It's probably probably, thi. It's probably probably men, it works. Yeah, like we can wear as many ties as we want, but we've just basically stupid animals responding to a mating call.

You put a sexy woman's voice, and you can literally get men to do anything. You realize we're being catfished by garbage cans, right? And we can see that they're garbage cans. But then we hear that sexy voice and we're like, well, maybe. Not to mention, this is going to undo a lot of parental lessons about littering. Some 10-year-old boy is going to be like, Mommy, I'm going to throw away my empty cup and the mom will be like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Just throw it in the lake, thrown, thrown, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thrown, thrown, tho, tho, tho, thrown, thrown, thi, th, th, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi! thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thi, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi.throw it in the lake, throw it in the lake. It's better that way. You're not ready.

And you know who this really isn't grateful? Is your trash can at home? Yeah, because when it finds out what you've been doing out there in the street, now it's going to get super jealous. Well, you're home late. Probably because you were out on the street shivering your trash into that whore again. You know that anyone can throw trash there? Anyone? You're not special. I want a divorce and I'm taking the rotten banana pills with me!

Ah! All right, that's it for the headlines. But before we go, let's check in on traffic with our very own. Roywood Jr. everybody! Yeah. What's happening, Royce. Yes, Lord. Weekends coming up. What's going on in the traffic?

I was really suspicious. All right, thank you so much, Roy. All right, when we come back, we're going to throw America a giant pool party. Oh, Roy, I love swallowing your trash. We'll be right back. Thank you. Thank you. Welcome back to the day. Welcome back to the Daily Show. This whole week, much of the United States has been suffering through a heat wave. And if you've been stuck in it, please, don't forget to drink water, stay inside and check.

This whole week, much of the United States has been suffering through a heat wave. And if you've been stuck in it, please, don't forget to drink water, stay inside, and check in on your elderly neighbors, because they might have air conditioners you can steal. But if you've been hoping to cool down at the beach or at the pool, you might be out of luck. As summer heats up, some families are cleaning down in the water at their own risk. A major lifeguard shortage is leaving many beaches unguarded and pools understaffed, forcing some to close. The American Lifeguard Association, estimating one-third of the nation's public pools are impacted.

The shortage is caused by a wave of factors. Young people have plenty of other job options to choose from, and training courses were canceled during the pandemic. Some pools looking to pull in new lifeguards by upping salaries. Six-flag St. Louis is offering $18 an hour to lifeguards, plus a $500 bonus. Oh, pools are closed for the summer. I want to have nowhere to pee. But yeah, pools and beaches are in big trouble because nobody wants to be a lifeguard right now.

Which is surprising to me. You'd think every teenager would want this job. I mean, you get to work on your tan, it's a relaxed dress code, and you get to make out with all those drowning people, you know? You know, if you ask me, Americans are too soft. Yeah, I saw the story and I was like, Americans are too soft. You won't swim because there's no lifeguard? Man. If you told an African parent that you won't swim without a lifeguard,

they'd be like, eh? Do you know who is your lifeguard? Jesus? Don't forget that. Don't ever forget that. But this is a major problem, especially for pools that have to shut down because they can't find lifeguards. Luckily though, luckily, Leo Deblen has a solution for you. Are your beaches and pools closed for the summer because of a lifeguard shortage? You just want to swim. But ain't nobody want to save your ass from a shot break out that swimsuit thong.

For summer is back on. Introducing Leo Devlin substitute lifeguard. It's a cardboard cut out of me that you can put up on the lifeguard chair guaranteed to look real enough for the safety inspector as he's driving by. So now you can get back to doing what you love. He ain't in the pool. Choose your lifeguard type from multiple Leo Devlin models. We have Mr. Nice guy, the whistleblower.

And of course, I've told your ass. And if we start to drown, don't worry. All our lifeguards come with a built-in speaker that's got you covered. Someone else saved that dude I just ate. So save your summer with the Leo Devlin substitute lifeguard. It ain't an 85 dollars you can get that from your mama. Oh! It's a double-dealing subject to a true-of-the-institoo a barber thing. It's a double-dead-sumatic to like an institute of barber then. It's a 120 by the field grounds.

Makes the foot locker. That's right. Summers back on. All right, when we come back, Ed Helms will be joining me on the daily show, the daily show. My guest tonight is actor, writer, and producer Ed Helms. He's here to talk to us about his show, Rutherford Falls, which he co-created and stars in.

Please welcome, Ed Helms. It helps. It helps. Right, all right. Welcome to the Daily Show. Thank you so much. Although is it welcome, it's a little weird because you worked in this very same studio for how many years? Like four and a half years. I like what you've done with the place. Oh, thank you very much.

Yeah, spruced it up a little bit. We had a little pandemic in the middle, you know, touched, touched, touched, touched, touched, touched, th and to th and th and to th and th. Oh, thank you very much. Thank you very much. Yeah, spruced it up a little bit. We had a little pandemic in the middle, you know, touched a few things up, you know? Yeah. Yeah, but your stuff is still here if you want anything. I hope so. No one's moved into my office, right? No, no, no. you have done not only with the furniture, but with the show, you're crushing it.

Trevor, thank you. Yes. I love what you've done with everything. Thank you. Because I mean, you're easily one of the funniest people around. You know, many people were introduced to you, you know, through the hangover, but everything that you've done has just been so funny. And Rutherford, when I first read about it seemed like, oh, you, to you, to be a a, to be a, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. I've, th. I've, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, thi. I, thi. I'm, thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th., you're trying to throw it all away. Because it was a story of, really,

it seems like a crazy story. It's like, oh, I'm gonna play a white guy who goes into a Native American community and basically like fights with them about their own land. It doesn't seem like comedy. Yeah, yeah. But it's really funny. I guess that was the challenge was to try to keep that character sympathetic. I mean it really is like that the show was born out of this observation just that people were kind of not listening to each other and being crazy and and so we wanted to kind of

depict somebody who is having trouble kind of hearing opposing views or hearing some that maybe his interpretation of history is very wrong and yet also that that can be a good person who wants to do better also. Can I tell you what I love about the show is that it's funny, it's poignant, it has, I think, I'll stand to be corrected, possibly the largest Native American writing room in all of television, maybe. It's like, giant, it's up there. It's up there.

It's up there. You have, like, a Native American class. You've done the thing that everyone says is impossible. Everyone goes like, if you include people, then white people don't work. And it's like, you're working, they're working. It's a great shows. I'm doing the two. I'm doing OK. I'm doing OK.

You're doing OK. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, there's another show called Reservation Dogs, which is also amazing. Yeah, amazing. Yeah. And that show has a ton of Native American writers and a directorterterterterterterterterterterterter. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah................................................................ Yeah... Yeah... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah......... A lot of our directors, we've shared a lot of directors between the shows. And yeah, it's just, it's been an incredibly humbling experience for me. I think before getting into this,

I intellectually understood the value of representation. And I would, I could talk about it very fluently and advocate for it. But being in this experience has just like really made a kick in for me in a way that, I don't know, it's been incredible. It shows, you know, because like the jokes that you're telling, the storylines that you have, it doesn't become something that it's not supposed to be. It becomes fresh, it becomes authentic. I mean, that's why it's why it's thr what I think. You know, it's like season two.

It's an exciting season change as well. I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't seen the first season, but essentially, your character comes into this world where he's trying to preserve his name, the Rutherford name comes in, realizes at some point that his family doesn't the, but as we go into season two, the journey changes slightly. What can you tell us about it? So, yeah, we left at the end of season one, my character really had this catastrophic identity crisis. And I think going into, and all of season one really, I think my co-creators, Mike Schur, and Sierra Teller Ornelis, the three of us really wanted to grapple

with some big ideas and some big issues. Season two, we were like, well, we kind of did a lot of homework in season one, and this ensemble is so funny, and our writers are so full, let's just like lean into the comedy more. And so I think this season, there's still a lot of very sharp satire that I'm very, very proud of, but it's also, it's more joyful, it's sillier, it's just, I don't know. When you say lean into the comedy more, I'm excited but I'm also a little worried because, no, I've heard, I've heard stories about you. I mean, at the daily show, you know, with John Stewart when you were a correspondent you had a mole removed on camera for the show. Yeah that's true like actually like the

procedure done. Yeah yeah on the hangover you allowed them to take out one of your teeth. Yes for the movie that's like a real that not truth. Yeah you see that you see you were like oh special effects no that was just him thus that the the the the th yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah 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. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. the that's that's that's that's that's that's 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. the they. they. they. they. the the the they. the they in, are you still willing to do the craziest thing for the moment? So season two of this show, I remove, I get decapitated for real. My head, it's like, and you know, thankfully like we've got great doctors and everything. I'm fine as you can see, but yeah, I go the extra mile. You really do though. I'm super committed.. Super method, 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, their, their, their, so their, so. So, so. So. So, so. So, so. So, so. So, so. So, so. So, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, their. So, their. their. their. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. their. their, so, their, they. they. the their. the the the the the their, so. their. the their, so. the but yeah, I go the extra mile. You really do though. I'm super committed, super method.

Yeah. Like, do you family and friends worry about you? Because I know people who go the extra mile for comedy. Like, does your dentist worry? Does it, you know, do your doctors worry? Yeah, I guess there's nothing, I don't know if this is a good thing, but there is virtually nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing I I that I thi nothing that I thi but there is virtually nothing I won't do for a laugh. I have no pride or dignity. And so that's a very freeing thing in show of his days.
