Survivor 47 is here, which means we're bringing you a brand new season of the only official survivor podcast on fire. And this season we are joined by fan favorite and Survivor 46 runner-up, Charlie, Charlie, I'm excited to do this together. Thanks, Jeff. So excited to be here, and I can't wait to bring you inside the mind of a survivor player for season 47. Listen to On Fire the official Survivor podcast starting September 18th wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central. From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news. This is the Daily Show with your host Ronnie Chang. Welcome to a daily show.

I'm Ronnie Chang. We've got a great show for you tonight. The TSA is going DIY. The COVID vaccine meets its biggest fan and we sent Michael Costa down to the border and unfortunately he came back. Plus, my friend Aquifina is joining me on the show. So let's get into the head office. Let's get into the COVID pandemic. Yes, remember that?

Next week will be four years since the day we started to take it seriously because Tom Hanks got it. Oh no, not Tom. Take Chet instead. But everything's fine now. The CDC just issued new guidance saying that you don't even have to isolate if you get COVID anymore. That's right, you can go ahead and keep coughing into people's faces as long as you feel a little bad about it afterwards. It really feels like no one's trying to avoid COVID anymore.

Well, almost no one. A German man has puzzled scientists after he deliberately got more than 200 COVID-19 vaccinations. 217, to be exact, over two and a half years. That's a shot every four days, roughly. Of course, scientists are wondering what the effect was on him. First of all, he didn't report any vaccine-related side effects at all. Secondly, his immune response did show an increase in immune cells, but not necessarily a better or worse immune response. And finally, guys, he never got SARS-COV2, the virus

that causes COVID. Sorry, 217 shots, an approach also known as the immune system, Bukake. If you laugh at that, you are disgusting. I mean, I know anti-vaxxers are stupid, but let's not over-correct here, all right? I will say this, though. A lot of people did their own research. This man became his own research. That's commitment. And also, a nice change of pace to see Germans doing human experiments on themselves. And also, hey, I'm glad that he didn't suffer any major side effects. But sadly for this guy, doctors still haven't found a cure for being weird as f-fee. Let's move on to the ongoing crisis in Gaza, where the United States is taking extreme measures to solve a tiny fraction of the problem.

The United States has conducted another air drop of aid in the Gaza Strip. The mission delivered 36,000 meals in the north, but it's still far below the amount of aid needed for the around 300,000 Palestinians who remained in the northern strip after the Israeli invasion. Air drops are probably the least efficient and most expensive way to deliver aid, but it's a last resort with Israel blocking critical supplies on the ground. Yes, that's right. America managed to air drop food around a blockade that Israel built with weapons America gave them. That's good, but wouldn't it be better if the United States just told Israel, just move out of the way. We gave you that. We're trying to help people get out away. That the way. That the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way. That their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. That's their. That's their. That's their. That's their. That's their. That's their. That's their. That's their. That's their. That's their. That's their. That's their. That's. That's to their. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's their. That's. That's their. That's their. It's their. It's to. It's to. It's their their t. We's the United States just told Israel, just move, move out of the way. We gave you that.

We're trying to help people, get out of way. Yeah, it just, I don't know. It just seems a lot less efficient that Uber eats dropped food from a thousand feet up. Or yelling, hey, don't forget to give us five stars. Or maybe, I don't know, America should just thiii. thi their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. thi. their. thi. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their.

But let's move on to some domestic news here in America. The TSA is testing out a new way to make airport security even more annoying.

This could be the future of airport security. At the TSA's innovation checkpoint at Las Vegas International, travelers are testing new self-service technology for the first time. The idea is it's supposed to be like a regular TSA checkpoint except fewer TSA agents and hopefully streamline. You have everything comes inside your bid? Yes. Here, passengers are greeted by a virtual agent. If you have a question, it's really easy to just to talk to the camera, get a very quick answer back. Real agent, real person. Right, who doesn't have to physically be in the checkpoint with you.

They're still performing the function that we've asked them to perform, but in a different location. What the f-f. What the f- this shit? So it's a regular TSA line, but but you, but you, but you, but you, but you, but you, but you, but you, but you, but you, but you, but you, but you, but you the, but you the, but you th, but you the, hey, I said I don't have a bomb. I don't have a bomb. What? What? You're muted. You're muted.

I can't. Oh, wait, sorry. I'm muted. This isn't going to work, thee. This isn't going to work, okay? Because we all know what is like to work remotely. TSA is going to be pretending to be pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre pre to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to look to look to look to look to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to be pretending to look to look to look to look to look to look toab, right? And even if they do catch someone, what are they gonna do? Order us to tackle ourselves?

Hey, I got a solution for you, TSA. It's a new form of technology called, open another lane. Just open another lane. All right? In fact, in fact, it doesn't even matter what TSA is doing, okay? Because the problem is the people. There's always a guy in line holding everyone up trying to bring a full suit of armor

through the x-ray machine. Oh, I'm sorry, is this metal? But look, not this even really matters, because once you get through security, there's a good chance the door will fall off your plane anyway, okay? So, and finally, while the TSA is trying to reduce the number of security agents, the New York City subway is getting a shit-ton more. The controversial new plan to address crime on the subway. A thousand members of the National Guard and state police will join forces with transit cops to conduct bag checks and patrol hundreds of subway stations.

The move by New York's governor follows a reported 45% spike in transit crimes in January. The NYPD reminds people it is worth taking their long-standing advice on how to stay safe, watch your things, and at least lower the volume on those headsets that you wear or take them out entirely. Shut up, mom. I'm definitely not lowering the volume on those headsets that you wear or take them out entirely. Shut up, mom. I'm definitely not lowering the volume on my music, okay? You think I want to be alone with my thoughts on public transport? I'd rather get stabbed.

And look, look, I'm not saying crime isn't a problem in the New York subway. Okay, a 45% spike in transit crimes in January alone is actually kind of impressive. I mean, New York criminals are the only ones keeping their New Year's resolutions. But getting the military to search bags for weapons isn't going to solve it, okay? Because New Yorkers can make a weapon out of anything. A bottle, a vape, a day-old bagel. It's prison rules down there, okay? Anything can be a shiv if you stab hard enough. Drawing up invasion plants for the sea train

just feels like you're playing off people's fears, all right? My mom is in Singapore. She's already worried for me here. She thinks the New York subway is a fixtight to the death every day when really it's only a fistfight to the death only once or twice a week. For more on this story, let's go to a New York City subway station with Troy Iwada. Troy, Troy, what's the mood down there? It's great, Ronnie. Everyone feels super secure. There's 60 soldiers here. 50 more police. The Coast Guard has a dingy floating

in that gross puddle over there. It is locked down. Okay, glad to know that people are feeling safe. What are the long-term plans for addressing the root causes of subway crime? Long-term, those are big words. I don't follow. I don't know, like mental health treatment, affordable housing. Oh, they'll sound like really nice, expensive things. You know, we just don't, we don't have the money for that. Okay, but how much did all that national god stuff cost? Don't worry about that. That's military spending, so it doesn't count.

What do you mean it doesn't count? It costs money. Money is money. Money is money. Money is money, except money for the military. You know, how like calories or calories, except when it's your birthday or you're sad? Military money, it just appears when it's needed, you know, like a fairy godmother with a rocket muncher. I don't think that's how the military works, but even so, shouldn't we invest in a long-term solution to help people get around safely? Yeah, I guess we could have the military bring people to work, you know? Have you ever been air-dropped into your office? It hurts, but it's fast. That sounds like it will cost like a trillion dollars. A trillion military dollars.

Not my personal dollars. Where do you think money for the military comes from? The war prize. When we win the war, you get the war prize. Okay, you know what, Troy, just get the train back to the office. Oh, there are delays. Which we cannot fix because we are broke. Uh-oh!

It's a conundrum! Troy, Juan, everybody. When we come back, Michael Coss I go to yourself, wow, the Supreme Court sure does suck. We made a podcast about that. We sure did. There is a supermajority of conservative maniacs on the Supreme Court right now, really doing some damage. I'm Michael. I'm Riannan. And I'm Peter. Our podcast 5-4 is about all of this. Every week we dissect and analyze a different ruling that has made our country a little worse, a little more cruel. And you would not believe how many of them there are.

Check out 5 to 4. That's the number 5-4, wherever you listen to podcast. The border crisis is a major issue in this election cycle, but Michael Costa went down to Eagle Pass, Texas to discover another invasion. Hey, waltz, Texas, to discover another invasion. Eagle Pass, Texas has become the epicenter of the national immigration debate as over the last year an unprecedented number of migrants crossed here to apply for asylum. And for many observers, this complex issue can only be summed up in one word. Invasion. We are being invaded.

We are being invaded. We're being invaded just like it's a military invasion. But how are the locals coping with this relentless onslaught? They've come and taken over the town. It's our land and there's just people coming in. They're causing, you know, havoc and craziness. There's chaos. Shouldn't you be welcoming? Don't you have any empathy for the journey they've taken to get me? They're not welcome, get the hell out of our place. You can't move around, we can't see them, you can't get a meal in a restaurant, can't get a hotel room unless you're willing to pay $400. Wait, wait, wait, wa' you're talking about? their tauilla-taqays of people. You're talking about Central American caravans.

Oh no, we're talking about the people that are invading the country here, not the Mexicans. The invasion here is from Governor Abbott and the Trumpers and the Maga people. Yes, Eagle Pass has been overrun since Governor Greg Abbott declared a crisis at the border and sent in the Texas National Guard, attracting a flood of Republican governors, congressional delegations, and even billionaire weirdos. This is our taxpayer dollars. Right. Being put to use by coming out to Eagle Pass, and what's happened is it's jacked up the hotel

prices. Our room is $370 and they don't even have any hand lotion, Judy. Understood, understood. What is your message to the people that want to come down here? Don't come. Okay, but be more clear. Please don't come. It's not just cool guys and scarves that are being victimized in this conflict,

but also local small business owners who resemble Sam Elliot. Right now, the only people that are going into the water are individuals from the press that want to see how ugly it is out there. The governor of Texas is here disrupting your job and you wanted to deport him. Get them out because, I mean, I'm expected to follow federal law, local law, state law. I would expect the same thing from our leader of our state. Sam Elliot and his mustache's concerns were justified because when America sends its people to Eagle Pass, they're not always sending their best.

Some, I assume, drove countless hours to sit outside a fence. But why? This is my land. I'm here to support those people who are fighting for me, my life, my land. Do we have guts enough to defend ourselves, do we? Now, you're shaking your head and you don't really get skeptical. You're wearing a suit and you've been successful in the New York media. You know what? You sold your soul to the devil.

If I sold my soul to be successful successful the the the to to the to to the to the to to the to the to the the to be successful the to be successful the to be successful the the the to be successful the the the the to be successful the the the to be successful the the the to be successful the the the to be successful the their people their people their people their people their people their people their people their people their people their people their people the New York media, you know what? You sold your soul to the devil. If I sold my soul to the devil to be successful in news media, I would be more successful. I wouldn't be sitting here in an Eagle Pass, Texas. You think I want to stay at a Marriott Town Plaza with no body lotion? That sounds like something the devil would say. Yes, Dan's fashion critique hurt. In his outlook was very confrontational. So I decided to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 devil. the devil, the devil, the devil, the devil, the devil, the devil, the devil, the devil, 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 devil's.oooooooooooooooooomeoleole. the devil, the devil, the the I decided to talk to the chairwoman of the county Republican Party for a more measured view. So we've had this invasion and it's really turned this town upside down. You mean from Governor Abbott from the 13 out of state Republican governors, news media such as myself? No, I'm talking about the illegal, the wetbacks. And, I'm sorry, what did you call them?

Wetbacks? Man, I haven't heard that word in a long time. Okay, now that she'd gotten that out of her system, I was ready for a more nuanced conversation. We just want them to come legally through the front door. Calling them wetbacks to me, the the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, tha, their, their, them wetbacks to me is not a we welcome you here. I want them to come legally. That's what I want. So they aren't wetbacks. So they don't have to swim the river. They wouldn't be wetbacks if they didn't.

Obviously there's some disagreement about whether we should let people from other countries seek refuge here and whether we should refer to them with vintage racist slurs. But as militarizing the border actually worked to keep anyone out? I asked Moghuli Urbina whose pecan farm borders the Rio Grande. I asked them to several times please don't put the wire up we don't want it it's a liability and they just came in and they put it up. Anyhow. Do you think the fencing and the buoys and the razor wireserserserserserserserserserserserser they, do do do do do that do that do that do that do do that do that that that that that is wiser that is wiser wire is wiser wire. Do you that is wi. Do you feel that's that's wi, do that's that's wi, do that's wi. Do you th. Do you th. Do you th. Do you th. Do you th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th.

No, no not at all. The governor's just pushing them out to New Mexico, Arizona, to California. But guess what? They're still coming in. So if they haven't solved the migrant crisis, could there be another purpose for the thousands of state guards,

miles of barbed wire and throngs of sunburned politicians in Eagle Pass???........ the throngs of sunburned politicians in Eagle Pass? I would have to say it has to do with the fact that it's an election year. A narrative is being told that creates chaos, scarce people. It's what's going to win them the election. Do you think this issue at the border has a lot to do with Donald Trump's re-election? You do? Trump is concerned about the welfare of the people, me, this country. He's not worried about trying to look good so that he can get elected. A guy with a golden toilet and a spray tan isn't worried about looking good? It's a political stunt. The Republican pendeckos, who don't get a ban.

I might have in Spanish, but I forgot pendeco. Do you mean politician? Well, it's kind of a heavier word than idiots. Motherfakers? Not as heavy. Not as heavy as motherfaurs, but heavier than idiots, stupid. Somewhere between mother-hawker and idiot. I would say so.

As I'd come to understand, the border is a complex issue that affects people's real lives. It's so much more than a photo op. But before I left town, there was one more thing for me to do. Thank you, Michael. When you come back, Aquafino will be joining me on the news and thought to yourself, wow, the Supreme Court sure does suck. We made a podcast about that. We sure did.

There is a supermajority of conservative maniacs on the Supreme Court right now really doing some damage. I'm Michael. I'm Riannan. And I'm Peter. Our podcast 5-4 is about all of this.

You hear that? So give you some... Thank you traitors. Okay, there we go. Um, I prepare some questions for you in case you... Your voice acting is so realistic. Did you go to Juilliard or something? Oh, I'm glad you asked that.

You know, I just think that sometimes with voice acting you want to, you know, be as natural as you can, so I'm kind of proud to say I didn't have any formal training in it. I just, you know, I just think authenticity is the key to good animal animation. Yeah. Yes. 100% that. I mean, this year we saw actors take on some incredibly challenging roles with Celian Murphy or Killian Murphy as Oppenheimer, Bradley Cooper, as Leonard Bernstein, and Ronnie Chang as fish in Kung Fu Panda 4. How do you... How do you... Yeah, it it going.

How did you prepare to take on such a big role? Well, you know, I've been kind of eating fish my whole life, so I feel like I knew what this character would really taste like and I kind of, you know, I channeled that into, I tried to put a little bit of fishiness into... You live inside a bird. Yes, in this, spoiler alert. Assau, yeah. I live in a bird, so unique character. You know, it's actually the second marine characters that ever appear in a Kung Panda franchise. Really? Yeah, the second one.

This is, this is the fourth project you've done with me. How does it feel to always be below me on the call sheet? Okay, you know what? Okay, okay. I didn't forget. Is that what he says? All right. Anyway. This is the fourth project we've done together. We have. We have. We've done so much cool stuff together.

We have. Yeah, crazy rotations. We did Shengshi together. We did a Kung Fu Panda. Wait, what was the other one? That's the other one? Nora from Queens on Comedy Central. Whoops, yeah, I was on that. I forgot that was on that show that was on my own network. Yeah, thanks for having me on that, by the way.

Thank you for coming. Yeah, you're such a cool icon, you know, from New York City, born and raised here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's your connection to New York City? What you mean? I mean I was from here, you know, raised here. I love, I love, you know, bagels and pizza. No, no, but sorry, why chef asked the question, but I meant like, you know, you had your family restaurant here, right? Oh yeah, right, yeah, my,

we had a, the first Chinese restaurant in Flushing was called Lums. Yes. Yeah. Whose restaurant was that? It was my great grandpa. My great-grandpa, Jimmy Lumb came over in the 1940s and then it kind of went out of business in the 80s. Oh yeah. Yeah. Reganomics, yeah.

And then what was the, you grew up in that restaurant? I grew up in a restaurant because they had an offshoot after after, the, the, the, th, after, after, after, after, after, after, after, after, after, after, after, after, after, thum, thum, thum, thum, thum, thum, thum, thum, thum, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was was, was, was was was was was was was was was, was was was, was was was was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was the restaurant was the restaurant was the restaurant was the restaurant was the restaurant was the restaurant was the restaurant the restaurant the restaurant their their their their what was the, you grew up in that restaurant? I didn't, I grew up in a restaurant because then they had an offshoot after Lum's closed my grandma opened a new one and so I, I grew up like in the restaurant and stuff like I would eat, that would, yeah. Yeah, so very much in the, in the kitchen. In the kitchen. I ate like a scoop of MS. Literally, it was crazy. It was crazy. It was nuts. Yeah. OK, maybe I should try that sometimes, too.

This, yeah, well, this new, I got, I got spent at least some. I got to talk, talk you up with this movie a little bit, a computaphane. Because you're, you play a, a corolac. OK, sorry. Corsac, Fox. Corsac, Fox. You're mispronouncing it on? Is that real animal? It is a real animal. Okay, a beautiful Asian fox.

Yes, you play a beautiful Asian fox in Camphon, yeah. Yes, just so. Yeah, there you go. That's what you look like over there. And I don't know if I spoil it, but it's a pretty important role in this because not only are you the second lead, you know, something happens in this movie that, you know, really It really will change the franchise forever, I think. Yeah, yeah, I don't know if you can talk about that, but you want you can't say what's gonna The spoiler alert? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think I think the movie's just this one I watched I watched it a fan of I was a fan. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th.
