You're listening to Comedy Central. From the most trusted journalist at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news. This is The Daily Show with your host, Michael Kosta! Welcome to The Daily Show! Wow! I'm Michael Kosta. We've got so much to talk about tonight.

Kamala is putting on a festival. Tucker Carlson makes everyone uncomfortable. And with the election just 12 days away, everyone in America is slowly losing their minds. So let's get into it. Indecision 2024. -♪ Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! -♪ Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! With less than two weeks until election day, Kamala is calling in the reinforcements.

Tonight, she held a rally in Atlanta with Bruce Springsteen, Tyler Perry, and Barack Obama. And she announced that on Friday, she'll be joined in Houston by Beyonce. Woo! Baby! Talk about it. She'll be joined in Houston by Beyoncé. Whoo! Baby! Talk about it.

Yet the last time Beyoncé appeared on stage with a presidential candidate was Hillary in 2016, so things are looking good. It's in the bag. But don't get the wrong idea. Donald Trump has been bringing in some special guests, too. I have never, I have never in my life spoken at a political rally.

I've covered a million of them for over 30 years, and I've never spoken to one, never thought I would. I can't believe I'm here! Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Hey, I don't want to be a hater. He's excited for his first political rally. Seems like a perfectly reasonable time

to laugh like an old-timey villain who tied a woman to the railroad tracks. So let's hear what his argument is for electing Trump. There has to be a point at which dad comes home. And when dad gets home, you know what he says? You've been a bad girl. You've been a bad little girl and you're getting a vigorous spanking right now. You're getting a vigorous spanking because you've been a bad girl.

And it has to be this way. Okay, okay. So this might be why you've never been invited to speak at a political rally before. You see, America, these Trump people, they aren't weird. They just know that Trump is a big, strong daddy that's coming home to spank us all. Totally normal stuff.

I can't wait to hear Tucker's thoughts on the economy. Inflation is like a babysitter, and she's been naughty. But, hey, that's just me. Donald Trump, what are your thoughts on Tucker's intro? I'm gonna come. Right. Right. I figured as much. I figured. So, Kamala and Trump are pulling out all the stops

to get their message out to voters. But at this point, it seems like many voters have heard enough. How would you describe the onslaught of political ads so far this year? Chaos. Complete chaos. They're ridiculous. Absolutely no escape. I mean, you go on TikTok, Facebook.

It's everywhere. We're all sick of it. I think it's overwhelming. It's wearing me out. And all of a sudden, it's nothing but like, oh, illegal immigrants. She's the border czar. She's not the border czar. And we're just trying to get into false spirit.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Look what you've done, America. You've ruined this man's false spirit. You've made him so anxious, he can't even enjoy apple picking anymore. I'm just kidding, nobody really enjoys apple picking. Except for me, honey, I can't wait to go this weekend.

Why would I want to sit on the couch and watch a football game when I could ruin my shoes to bring home 70 apples? I mean, we eat what? One apple a week? It totally makes sense that we bring home two years worth of apples. But with the leftovers, you can make an apple crisp. No one has ever made an apple crisp! My point is, there's a lot of political ads,

especially in the swing states. I spent a weekend in Pennsylvania recently in every single commercial break. It was Kamala Trump, Kamala Trump, on and on and on. I actually wept tears of joy when a Cars for Kids ad came on. And then one of those kids said, Kamala Harris wants to turn me trans.

And I realized it was just another campaign ad, Jesus Christ. And it's not just that it's annoying, this barrage of politics, it's taking a toll on our mental health. A new poll from the American psychiatric Association finds that 73% of people surveyed cite the election as a source of anxiety 31% said they're fearful when thinking about the

election now a separate survey done by Pew research found the majority of Americans feel exhausted when thinking about politics. Most said it made them feel angry. People's careful bowel syndrome is flaring. That happens every election cycle. Irritable bowel syndrome? This election is so scary, Americans are literally shitting themselves.

Although... we got some sufferers in the audience today. Although this does work as a convenient excuse. You can leave the bathroom at your friend's place like, sorry about the smell. Election year. But if you ask me, there's one major sign that America has lost its mind this election. And that sign is our behavior around, well, signs.

They've been snatched from yards, burnt to pieces, in another critical battleground state, well, signs. They've been snatched from yards, burnt to pieces, in another critical battleground state, Wisconsin, police receiving several reports of stolen and vandalized signs, one letter left behind saying voting for Kamala Harris will lead to blood on your hands. Trump supporter Ben Ganther says he isn't taking any chances after he had one of his signs stolen and another sign cut through.

They didn't get the Trump sign this time because I had wrapped it in chicken wire. Man, are we really stealing signs now? You know that person can still vote. It's not like if you take the sign off their lawn, they're going to be like, huh, I forgot who to vote for. What's that sign say? Deer crossing?

I guess I'll vote for deer crossing. I don't know. The only thing more deranged than stealing someone's sign is the lengths that some people are going to to prevent that sign from being stolen. A resident in Leesburg, Virginia took matters into his own hands, sparking panic after rigging his anti-Harris sign with tripwire and alarms. In Tempe, Arizona, police arresting 60-year-old Jeffrey Michael Kelly for hanging multiple anti-Harris signs with white powder and razor blades attached.

Alright, you guys are really going to kill someone over a campaign sign? Pace yourself. The Civil War doesn't start for a few weeks, but Jesus Christ, fellas, maybe it's time for a hobby, no? I never thought I'd say this, but have you tried apple picking? I don't... My wife is looking for someone to go with. But Trump supporters better watch out with their anthrax and their razor blades, because Democrats can hit back just as hard. John Scarborough had a sign showing support for Vice President Harris in his garden, until one night it disappeared.

I got some gold, craft glitter, mixed it up with some Vaseline, and I smeared it on all four edges. You know, I don't want anybody to get hurt. But I at least want them to understand that actions have consequences. Yep, and there's the election in a nutshell. The Republican strategy is to kill you, and the Democratic strategy is merely kind of gay.

Although, to be fair, is to kill you and the Democratic strategy is merely kind of gay. Although... Although, to be fair, if you tried to get glitter out of anything, I'd rather grab razor blades, to be honest. And you don't have to booby-trap a sign to stop a thief. You just have to get high tech. Missouri resident Laura McCaskill putting an Apple AirTag on her Harris Walls signs

after she says thieves stole them three times. Did you open the trunk of your vehicle and show us that it's not there? Using the GPS to track down these young men and their mother, all this cameras rolled. I'm sorry, this is funny. Why don't you just take them all? Here you go liberals. Well, but just, it's more than that actually. No, it's not. It's so stupid. Just go vote. It's a felony ma'am. No, it's not. It's so stupid. Just go vote. It's a felony ma'am. It's not. It actually is.

Ma'am please don't throw these at me. I'm so tired of this. Hold on, hold on. You're giving them attitude for the stuff your son stole? That's the law and order party for you. No see when we commit crimes, it's funny, okay? But honestly

I'm disappointed with these high school kids. They're spending their Saturday nights going around stealing political yard signs. If they were my kids, I'd be like, you go up to your room and you smoke weed like a normal teenage boy. Yeah. Yeah.

The way I did. But I don't want to give you the idea that everyone is stealing yard signs. No, because some people are actually adding them. A Davis voter is raising concerns after a UPS driver was caught on camera leaving opposing political signs on her lawn. The driver here seemed walking up on the property leaving about 10 tiny Trump flags. When Shelly Bales checked the lawn of her Davis home, she found these. Nearly a dozen small flags supporting former President

Donald Trump's 2024 campaign. Aw, make America cute again. Seriously, you call that a MAGA flag? Good luck beating a police officer unconscious with that. What are you even hoping to achieve with a flag that small? with that. What are you even hoping to achieve with a flag that small? You think someone's gonna be walking by like, whoops, I dropped my keys and I don't even know who to vote for.

Hey, I have an idea. You know what the problem with all these people stealing signs? They face no repercussions. Tucker Carlson was right. These people need a vigorous spanking. Yeah. Yeah. These men, these men need their exposed bottom spanked bright and rosy red.

I'm gonna come. Yeah. We know. Look, here's the bottom line. I know we don't like these elections that last two years and cost a billion dollars, but we've got to learn to deal with it. And don't give me the, oh, what if we had shorter elections that cost less money? That's just not how democracy works, okay?

Unless of course you're talking about Canada or France or Britain or Germany or Australia or every other democracy on Earth except for ours. But don't worry. If you feel like you can't take it for another two weeks, there is one new service that has a solution. Millions are crossing our border, a second Trump term.

if for some don't go away. This election cycle has already been quite a ride. Scared? Nauseous? Wishing this thing had seatbelts? Pod Save America is here to help.

Listen and subscribe to Pod Save America on your favorite podcast platform now. Welcome back to The Daily Show. The campaign is targeting all sorts of micro demographics in these last two weeks.

Ronnie Chang sat down with one that's been getting some unexpected attention. People have a lot of names for JD Vance. Weirdo, oddball, certified freak seven days a week. But does he deserve this reputation? Just everything. Yeah, it'll be a lot of glazed tears and some sportable stuff. Something set in the roles. Just whatever makes sense. Whatever makes sense? Nothing about the way he did that makes any f***ing sense. And recently, Vance's wife outed him on national TV

for something even weirder. He has all sorts of dorky interests. I want him to explain what the dorky habits he had. She said he's gonna kill me for saying this, but it's Magic the Gathering, which was a card game. It's similar to like Pokemon. That's right. Before JD Vance was a

powerful political shapeshifter, he played Magic the Gathering, a collectible card game that's been around since the 90s. So we magically gathered a bunch of card-carrying dorks to see how they thought Vance's allegiance would affect their community. So what is Magic the Gathering and how would you explain it to someone who doesn't give a f**k about any of this shit? It's a turn-based card game. You get resources called mana, you get those by playing lands or other sources. And then you generally like will play creatures and then that's what you use to attack your opponent and you try to accumulate advantages over time. Right and at what point do you grow up and start playing this shit? But how do these super nerds feel about one of their own

trying to move out of his mom's basement and into the White House? Are you worried that JD Vance playing magic will make you guys seem weird? No, no. He's a magic player, so he's a step up in my book. You need a certain level of intelligence to play magic. Yeah, because you're making a whole bunch

of tactical decisions based on what's going on. Why, like being able to decide like, I don't ever wanna have a woman touch me. I would rather play with some dudes in a smelly room. It doesn't always smell the best in here. Vance also admitted his favorite strategy was something sinister, I think. I still don't understand this game.

JD Vance said that when he played Magic the Gathering, his favorite deck was Yawgmoth's Bargain. What the f*** does this mean? It's a combo deck where you get to trade your life away for power. He's doing what he needs to win, even if he's being a dirty Yawgmoth player. So is Yawgmoth's Bargain disqualifying

the way a felon shouldn't be president? I probably wouldn't trust someone if they're willing to sacrifice so much just to get ahead. Like how JD Vance spent years talking shit about Trump and then totally flipped and is now running with him. Yeah, people who played it won pretty much too much for it to be fun anymore. You can draw 20 cards if you want, which gives you a ton of advantage. You can't be touched for a whole turn. I wouldn't worry about that.

Pretty sure that effect is in play. Independent of cards. But was Vance's nerd cred enough to work a little magic in the voting booth? Who here is voting for Trump Vance? Who here is voting for Harris Waltz? Oh. And undecided voters? What are you gonna do?

Get in a voting booth and roll a 20-sided die? Oh, don't say that. Maybe. What's harder to explain to your family, being an undecided voter or being an adult man who plays magic together? Being an undecided voter, actually. My parents are Haitian, like, born and raised, so they're like, what do you mean?

We don't eat cats. But, like, did you tell your parents that JD Vance also played Magic the Gathering? No. But I don't think that's gonna sway them. Were half these wizards and warlocks really undecided? I needed to explain politics in a way they could understand. Using a custom election 2024 magic deck, I gave these Dorito munchers some truth to snack on.

I summon JD Vance. The boy Wanderer. When JD Vance, boy Wanderer enters the battlefield, all Haitian creatures are returned to their owner's lands. That's pretty strong. So do I... Yeah, you have to leave that. Yeah, you feeling a little more decided now? Uh, I think so.

One down, three to go. However, these players were teaching me a valuable lesson. That we're all losers, but especially them. When a creature like that gets exiled, you can choose if it's your commander to put it back in the command zone or leave it there. How do I lose quickly? Choose wrong. You gotta choose wrong.

Pick a number, 1, 2, 3, or 4. Alright, ready? 1, 2, 3. I pick 3. I pick 2. Alright, so RFK Jr. and Elon Musk die. Great. I will pass the turn. And play... Swamp. I'll go find an island in here. You're not even having a little bit of fun?

I am having absolutely no fun. Time to do us all a favor and January 6th is shit. Game over nerds. Now go vote. And don't tell anyone I wasn't smart enough to understand your dumb game. Thank you Ronnie. When we come back,, Joe will be joining me on the show, so don't go away. Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! This election cycle has already been quite a ride. Scared? Nauseous? Wishing this thing had seatbelts? Pod Save America is here to help. I'm Jon Lovett and each week,

Fat Joe, I got to admit, when I was introduced to you many years ago, you looked a lot different than right now. Are you still Fat Joe? I think I look more handsome now. You are more handsome now. All right, thank you, brother. But are you still... You're not Fat Joe anymore.

Yeah, I lost a lot of weight, man. I'm trying to stick around, man. Okay. Life's so beautiful. Tell me about that journey. I think a lot of people could connect with that. Well, I lost a lot of weight. You know, I think I went at it in two different layers.

You know, I lost a lot of friends of mine at a young age, especially Big Pun. And I lost maybe 150 pounds, and then I went back at it again and lost, like, maybe another 100, 150. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Is that the hardest thing you've done? Is...

Nah, I don't... Getting to the hip-hop industry the hardest thing you've done? What's the hardest thing you've done? Well, the hardest thing I've done is trying to get a lower pass than Washington, D.C. for health care price transparency. Shit, that's... Yeah. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE That's been my hardest...

It was easier to lose 250 pounds than get a law passed in Washington? Yeah, you know, you just want to live. For me, I've done it for so long already that it's just a way of life. You know, we cut carbs whenever. We eat defensively now, so we stay off the rice, off the pasta, off the, you know,

and work out, you know, and stay active. Okay. And, you know, but, you know, getting a law passed in Washington is harder than losing 250 pounds. That's not defense. That's offense. That's major offense. I remember the first time I went to Washington, D.C., a journalist met me at the stairs.

He was like, Fat Joe, what are you doing here? I was like, yo, I'm coming to get this. She was like, good luck. That's never gonna happen in Washington. But we've been getting a great reception. We started with one politician. I believe it was Guthrie from Kentucky. Now, last time I went over there,

I had about 90, 100 congressmen and senators there. And we support Senator Braun, Bernie Sanders' bill for health care price transparency. So, you know, this is the only thing you go anywhere in the world you don't get a price for. There's over 100 million Americans in debt due to health care price transparency. So it's real in every family. And so you want to create a system where they tell you the prices so we can know where we go.

Like if we know we're going for an MRI, believe it or not, there's people going to the same hospitals every day, getting the same procedure by the same doctor. Somebody's paying $12,000, somebody's paying $2,000, somebody's playing $5,000. It ain't even discrimination. It's just highway robbery. Right. You don't see... It'd be interesting if the doctor came in.

When you sit with a little menu. I mean... MRI, you want a hip replacement, but they don't do that. You just want to create a competitive system... Okay....to where, like anything else, you want to know, and you look at your three leading hospitals in your area and get it for the right price. And that's what Power to the Patients advocates for? Yes.

So tell me exactly what Power to the Patients is. Power to the Patients is an organization that's fighting for the American people. You know our two founders Kevin Moore and Cynthia Fisher. Cynthia had employees that worked for her for 20 years and never bothered her about anything. And finally she sees the man, the gentleman crying and he was like so embarrassed to tell her. He don't know whether to send his daughter to college or pay for his wife's hospital bill. Oh man.

And so there's actually people. I come from the Bronx. There's people afraid to go to the hospital to get health coverage because they're afraid of what the price is going to be in the long run. Because this is like you just pulling in a hat, coming out with whatever. So that's why you see people limping across the street.

You see people struggling. And then it's just like a snow plow house. And before you know it, you're in real trouble. So if you get the change that you're advocating for, a patient would now know the upfront costs at various hospitals of a procedure? As well as enforcing it. OK.

And that's key. We don't want to. We hate to admit it, but Donald Trump passed a similar law. Okay. Right, but they never enforced it. We don't say that stuff here. No, I'm just telling you. I'm just kidding, of course, yes, no, yeah, yeah.

I'm obviously not a Trumper, but you know, he passed a similar law, which is not as strong as Senator Brown, or Bernie Sanders, but they never enforced it. Right. So the hostages got away with still moving the way they move it. You got to have the press released. You got to have the headline moment,

but they didn't actually enforce that. So if a patient knows what these things cost, they can make a more educated decision. Because I got to be honest. I go to the hospital, and you kind of check in. I have insurance. I'm one of the lucky people that have. And then I leave. I get some shit in the mail

that has a huge number on it, but I don't even pay that. I always just feel like it's the secret language between the hospital and the insurance company. Man, let me tell you something. There's a guy who went to the hospital for an EpiPen, and they charged him $18,000. Right. He went online and saw it for, like, $100 online.

Yeah, I think there's a guy in my subway stop that'll give it to him for 25 bucks. Hey, maybe that's the guy who's selling me my Ozempic. I don't know. Well... And I want to talk to you in a second about talking to Vice President Kamala Harris, but you mentioned Ozempic and astonishingly some reversed diagnosis of your type 2 diabetes.

Is that right? Can you share that? Well, I don't give all credit to that. But 12 years old, I was diabetic, juvenile diabetes. I never knew in the hood that you could actually lose weight and get rid of the diabetes. They never told me that. I don't think a lot of people understand that. No, they was just giving me insulin.

And for years. So once I started losing the weight, the 150 pounds, I'm working out twice a day. My doctor tells me one day, you don't have diabetes. You don't have to take the insulin. I wind up arguing with my doctor, like, yo, give me my insulin. You trying to kill me? Like, nah, you're doing great.

You got rid of the weight. You don't need. And then recently, in the last maybe like two years or something like that, the doctor was like, well, you ain't working out two times a day no more, Joe. You got to take some Ozempic. And so due to diabetes and blood sugars, I've been on that ozempic.

OK. And you're healthy and strong and good. You're looking good. I feel great. Yeah. OK, great. Let's talk about it. Let's go.

Woo! Woo! It's funny. It's funny when a doctor gives you good news, we start questioning him or her. I always look at the diploma on the wall. Where exactly did they go? Costa Rica. Holy shit.

I have the coolest doctor in the world, Dr. Gene Napeman, down in Miami. He saved my life. And so I go in there and hang out with him and just talk and hang out in the office with him. You know, he's like a buddy. That's awesome. The problem is when you invite your doctor

for Thanksgiving dinner, one night he came to my house and I ate like two olives for Thanksgiving. Looking at me, I'm like, damn, doc, you're stinking up the place. You just had an opportunity at the BET Hip Hop Awards to interview Vice President Kamala Harris. How did it go, first of all? It went great.

Yeah. Yeah. Politicians, politicians, I don't want to say struggle. Maybe they're confused, or maybe they try very hard to reach the black and brown men community. What can they do? Are they doing the right stuff? I would think so.

It depends on what you're looking for. And some people, of course, the black and brown community has been disenfranchised for many, many years. But the men, I don't know. You know, this race just boils down to, will a man vote for a woman? That's all it boils down to.

I've done read the analytics and every which way, shape, or form. It's an obvious person to vote for. Now, are you gonna be man enough to vote for a woman? Right. I like that. I like that. What I like about you, Fat Joe, is not every artist is willing to share opinions like that,

because there's a lot of people that buy music. But you're new... You know, I'm a businessman. Right. And so every time I say stuff like that, because there's a lot of people that buy music. But you know... You know, I'm a businessman. Right. And so every time I say stuff like this, the minute I said that, I said, okay, I'm gonna get threatened by my Republican partners. I mean, they get furious.

I don't even got to say nothing. They see me, you know, they, you know, I have friends on the Republican side who want to save money and taxes. Yeah. And then I think about where I came from and the less fortunate people and women's reproductive rights and so forth. And so my heart leans morally to where I got to be.

But every time I say it... Right. Right. Right. Right. Your new talk series, Fat Joe Talks. That's right. You talk to celebrities like Method Man, but also politicians like Hakeem Jeffries. That's a good one. Yeah, well tell me, is it important to talk to, is that, did you tackle all different

types of people on purpose? Well, you know, yeah, for sure. Fat Joe Talks. I'm available. Fat Joe Talks. A lot. all different types of people on purpose. Well, you know, yeah, for sure. Fadjoe Tons. I'm available. Fadjoe Tons. Fadjoe Tons. A lot. And so, you know, I get into it with Hakeem Jeffries,

the leader, and I asked him if the aliens were real. Okay. I mean, this guy would know, right? I'm like, yo, tell me about the aliens, man. Right. And so I'm just having fun and just interviewing icons. This week, we got, it's on the Stars Network. Go get the app.

We got Mary J. Blige this week. We got... ...strictly icons. And my platform is all about inspiration, bringing inspiration and positive vibes to young folks. It's crazy. I did an interview earlier with a newspaper out in LA and they were asking me about the show

and I'm like, this is positivity. We tell you our story, where we came from, all our adversity, how we get through it. We bringing up the youth so they can be inspired and they can see that it's possible. And then my publicist gets on the phone and says, you got time for one more question. The woman asks me the most controversial question you heard in your life.

I said, Miss, I've been talking to you for half an hour. Haven't you heard me? See, a good journalist is a good listener. You got to listen to the talent. What did you say? I'm sorry? You got to listen. So, right, but Fat Joe likes to talk.

So, are you doing talking, are you doing listening? You're doing everything. I'm doing a little bit of both, because I really like to talk. And so... You're good at it. Yeah, I'm really good at it. And I like to jump in, but I learned.

Right. I learned how to just let the artist, the person talk, give me their perspective, and then I lean in. But normally, you won't get one word in in the house. And if you ever heard of this guy called DJ Khaled, you won't get a word in. Me and DJ, I can't.

He's like, yo. Like, hey, yo. All he's saying is his name over and over again. Oh, no. It's Khaled. I don't get to talk to a lot of hip-hop stars, so I got to ask you, when I see a video and everybody's got the money, is that real money on set?

Is that fake money? Actually, I think it's fake money. Yeah, okay. Most of the times. Okay. So my wife told me, we got back from... I hosted the BET Hip-Hop Awards, and I did my song, Make It Rain,

so these girls were throwing, like, money. And so my wife said, I found a bunch of money in your pocket. I said, yeah I did my song, Make It Rain, so these girls were throwing like money.
