Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. 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, Desi Leidet. Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Jemm. Leidic. We've got so much to talk about tonight. Everyone is debating about the debate. Bob Menendez has found a new way to get divorced. And you're not going to believe this, the South did something racist. But first, breaking news, Donald Trump is still on trial. Let's get into it with another edition

of America's Most Tremendously Wanted. Day 18 of Donald Trump's porn star, Hush Money Trial, was another star turn for Michael Cohen. the former tru-fixer and all of Long Island. Day 18 of Donald Trump's porn star hush money trial was another star turn for Michael Cohen, former Trump fixer and all of Long Island distilled into one man. Cohen is the linchpin of a government's case because his testimony directly ties Trump to the falsification of business records, which remember is the actual crime here. The porn star hush money part is just a little thing we keep saying because it's fun.

So for the last few days, Trump's defense attorneys have been doing their best to make Cohen seem less credible than a Boeing in-flight safety video. And they have a lot to work with. Today, Trump's defense has pressed Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer and fixer. The defense has also highlighted some of the various insults that he has lobbed against Trump over the years, painting him as a man out for revenge after their relationship fell apart. At one point, the defense played this clip from Cohen's podcast in October of 2020.

I truly fucking hope that this man ends up in prison. It won't bring back the year that I lost or the damage done to my family, but revenge is a dish best served cold. And you better believe I want this man to go down and rot and sigh for what he did to me and my family. Wow. That is an angry podcast. It must be hard to keep that level of anger when you also have to read podcast ads. I'm hungry for vengeance, and also for one of Blue

Aprins' delicious home-cooked meals. I mean, honestly, I feel bad for the jurors. As if jury duty isn't bad enough, now they have to listen to a dude's podcast. And who is Michael Cohen's podcast even for? Do the people who hate Trump not have enough content? Is there some guy who's like, I love the MSNBC but it's only on 24 hours a day? And it's not just his podcast. Trump's lawyers are dredging up all the nastiest things he's ever said about Trump and right in

front of his face. You referred to President Trump as a boorish cartoon misogynist, didn't you? Defense attorney Todd Blanche asked, it sounds like something I would say, Cohen responded, a Cheeto-dusted cartoon villain. That also sounds like something I said. You referred to President Trump as dictator Dibat, didn't you? Cohen says, sounds like something I said. Damn! Trump is just sitting there while his own lawyer roast him. And did you also call the president

Mr. Bitch-Tits? Yes? How about resting ball sack face? That's a good one. Commander in Cheese Dick. You never said that but you could. Is that true? Look I get the defense's argument that you can't trust Michael Cohen because he hates Donald Trump. But to be fair, everyone who's ever worked with Donald Trump hates Donald Trump. At some point you got to be like I think it's Trump. Let's change gears, because Trump's not the only politician on trial right now. There's also Bob Menendez, New Jersey Senator and Grown Up Cabbage Patch Kid. He's facing corruption charges and now we know he's going with the Borat defense.

My wife. Lawyers for Senator Bob Menendez trying to shift the Borat defense. My wife. Lawyers for Senator Bob Menendez, trying to shift the blame for his alleged corruption onto his wife. An FBI search of the Menendez's home in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, in June of 2022, turned up more than $480,000 in cash, along with gold bars. And the Menendez defense suggesting his wife, Nadine, was responsible for the gold bars

found in their home, saying they were in her closet. He did not have a key to that closet and did not know of the gold bars in that closet, the defense attorney said. This is shocking, okay? This tall blonde woman who lives in New Jersey and has a locked closet full of gold bars is not a real housewife? Andy Cohen, wake up! So Bob Menendez's argument is that his wife was secretly orchestrating a corrupt international bribery scheme and hoarding gold bars in his own house and he never knew it. And that gentleman is why you need to ask your

wife about her day. Okay? Ask your wife about her day. Who's that? It's the little thing. Seriously, though, the balls on this guy to throw his own wife under the bus. Is anyone buying this? Menendez's lawyers are actually arguing that his wife had the gold bars because she's of Lebanese descent and the Lebanese love gold. Which is a stereotype I did not know even existed. Like doesn't every culture like gold? No one's ever like, oh, I couldn't possibly accept your gold bars. My parents are Canadian. Let's turn to some news from the culture war.

Back in 2020, towns across America decided to take down Confederate statues and monuments because it was time to move on. Well, now they've decided it's time to go back. Two schools in Virginia are getting new names. Actually, they're old names, the names of Confederate officers. The Shenandoah County School Board is the first in the nation to revert to names from before the racial reckoning of 2020. Mountain View High School will be renamed for Confederate General Stonewall Jackson, while Honey Run Elementary School will bear the names of two Confederate generals, Robert E. Lee

and Turner Ashby. Guys, come on. After all that effort to remove that disgusting legacy, we're just putting the Confederate names back now. It's like asking your doctor to reattach that hairy mole. Oh, like I'm the onlyto reattach that hairy mole. Oh like I'm the only one who's ever had a hairy mold. Come on, you know you're out there! And if you're wondering who are the people who would support this type of move,

well they're exactly the people that you think it would be. Tearing down statues and monuments and the race in history, while indoctrinating children is exactly what Adolf Hitler did. Whites are not racist, that we've been, we have been tagged that we are. Just because we want a name back on a school. Please do what's right for Stenardle County, restore our heritage, our history, and our school names. Okay, let's be honest here. This isn't about restoring your heritage.

If it was, then you would name it from Kentucky and my cousin is kind of hot. We know what you really mean by this, but if you want to honor white people, why can't you at least pick white people that everybody likes? What about Paul Rudd High or Dolly Parton Elementary? Yeah. Hey, we'll even be happy with white people that are just, nah. Like, how was graduating from Justin Long High? It was fine.

It wasn't great, but it was fine. For more on the Confederate name change, we go live to Stonewall Jackson High School with Josh Johnson. Josh, what is the, what's the mood out there? Uh, Desi, I've been talking to a lot of people who want to change the name back to the confercy and honestly, I think we should let him have it. But let him have it? Yeah, I mean, have you seen the guys who are arguing for the name change? Like, look at them! They look like they just lost a Civil War.

Like, this morning! Plus, if you're a middle-aged man gotta go back to the glory days when I want state. Do you guys remember that? Anybody? Please remember that? But they have to accept that the culture has changed? Yeah, but they have to accept that the culture has changed. Yeah, sure, but the culture has changed whether they accept it or not. I mean, these people are living in a time where all the best musicians are black, all the best athletes are black. The only living president with a functioning brain is black. What black people do is literally called the culture, all right?

The only place these guys feel like they're winning is the first half of a civil rights movie. Okay, but having a school named after a Confederate general is racist. Exactly, it's just racist enough. Look, America is always going to have some baseline of racism. You just have to direct it towards stuff that doesn't really matter. Okay? If you keep them squabbling over school names, they're not going to have the energy to go march in Charlottesville again. You know, for example, while they were fighting over a black little mermaid, I was able to slip

into a bank and get a mortgage. I'm going to pay the job. Okay. So, you're okay with Stonewall Jackson high? Yeah, I mean, Stonewall Jackson sounds pretty black anyway. Like if you didn't know history, you'd think that he was the one who got all those snakes off that mother-feepane.

Okay, so I guess going back to the old name is good. Wow, Desi, that's racist. Oh, sorry. But just a little, the right amount. Okay. Okay. Nice. Good to know. Jop Joddran, everyone. When we come back, we'll learn about Joe Bytie's new exercise program, so don't go away. Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, it's going to be coming

out every Thursday. So exciting, you'll be saying to yourself, TGID, thank God it's Thursday we're going to be talking about. All the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election. Economics. Earnings calls. What are they talking about??? the the the the the the the the the the the thly the thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. It in the same way that they obsess me. The election, economics, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that fourth, but in, it's probably second.

I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the daily show. Joe Biden and Donald Trump shook up the presidential race yesterday by agreeing to two debates, which was pretty surprising. I mean, the only thing these two have ever agreed on is that Eric Trump is, which was pretty surprising. I mean, the only thing these two have ever agreed on is that Eric Trump is not their son. But what was especially surprising

was how quickly Trump agreed to the debates, despite all of Biden's stipulations. He jumped at the offer like it was a plea deal with no jail time. And now, some of Trump's friends are concerned he may have been a little too eager. Excluding Trump from any input is beyond unfair. It is beyond insulting. The media mob and Joe Biden. They don't get to collude and choose radical Biden supporting hosts in the moderator's chair. That means no fake Jake Tapper.

Is this a trap for Donald Trump? And is he walking right into it? How do you feel about it? I worry that it's a trap. Oh, come on. This isn't a trap for Donald Trump. A trap for Donald Trump might be about these debates, Biden's friends might be even more worried.

I have talked to some Democrats who do see a downside in this, right? Can he actually win a debate with somebody like Donald Trump? Definitely some people in the Biden camp that don't see that, that basically see this is more risky than than not. I myself would never recommend going on the stage with Donald Trump, but the president has decided that's what he wants to do. Listen up, Mr. President. When you get advice from Nancy Pelosi, you take it. That's what I always tell my stockbroker.

Always. Always. Another time. There's no way around it. These debates are going to be incredibly stressful for Democrats. But maybe there's a way to use all that stress to your advantage. Hey, guys, Michael here today to introduce you to an all-new killer workout routine called Joe Biden's Bill Bods better.

Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight helps run her family farm in England. She has a new memoir called The Farmer's Wife, My Life in Days, and she's brought one of her farm hands tonight, who you might know from other stuff.

Please welcome Helen Reebanks and Nick Offerman. Thank you. Thank you. What a treat it is to have you both here. This is, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for being here.

This is, thank you for being here. Nick, I think most people knew you from your brilliant comedic work. You just won your first Emmy for The Last of Us. Thank you. Thank you. You played the president in Civil War. And now somehow on the side you're also a master woodworker and a farmhand. I'm an aspiring master woodworker.

I know some, the masters that I take classes from would bristle to hear you describe me that way. I doubt that. I think it's pretty safe to say that you were officially a renaissance man. I'll take competent. Okay, we'll settle for that. So how did the two of you meet? How did this friendship get started? Well, I guess social media kind of connected us up initially, didn't it?

I mean, we were both huge fans of the writer Wendell Berry's work. And when we were over in Kentucky, we did an event. My husband was speaking with him in Louisville Public Library. And you've been connected with the work of Wendell for a long time, you know, sharing his work and stories about looking after the land and food and farming for a while and then you came to stay when you were in the UK working on a project. That's right. Yeah, so all of this started on social media. That's right. If you want, if you want good farming content, you go to Twitter.

Some people go to Twitter for other things. Okay. Just check my mentions. But yeah, I love the great Kentucky writer, Wendell Berry, is the subject matter that drew us together because we're all very interested in knowing about our farmers and knowing where our food comes from and who's growing it and if they care about our health or not or if they care about their profits. And so it was through Twitter I befriended them and I had an acting job in Manchester, England with Alex Garland, a show called Dev's, and that took me very close to them and I started spending weekends there. Had some of Helen's cooking and here we are.

That's all it took. Your cooking is that good. I enjoyed your book so much. You really walk us through a day in your life, all of the daily work that you do, taking care of a family of six, your herd of sheep, 50 chickens, 50 chickens, 500 sheep. I can barely keep my kids goldfish alive. How much coffee and drugs do you have to take to get all of your work done? That's my main question. Oh does he? It's a way of life on a farm.

It's, I mean, I guess this, this to me is the hard work. Like being on, doing all this, all the interviews, etc. It's totally different. I love it, I love it from morning till night. It's a completely sort of immersive thing to be on a farm. You respond to the weather, the livestock, the kids, whatever needs doing. And I wrote the book to celebrate the people that daily kind of the the the the theeeeeeeuuuuuuuuiiiiii. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I, thi. I, thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it, th. I I th. I th. I th. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th. I thi. I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi. I theeeeeeeeeeeea. I thea. I mean, I guess, I theea, I thea, I'm, I thi. I'm, I the book to celebrate the people that do that daily kind of mundane work really but it to me it's like really important. Such important work and it really is such a beautiful tribute to all the invisible work that so many women do all over the world. Was that your intention when you came into the book or were you just kind of wanting to tell

your personal story? A bit of both really. It started off with personal stories and recipes and I wanted to leave a collection for the kids of what mom makes and it soon developed into a really deep kind of dive into like what society tells us women, you know, it's really hard, isn't it? To figure out a path through and navigate how do we have kids and run business and do all the things. And I kind of, through the stories, through the writing, it's just been absolutely brilliant to share it with readers that have resonated with it and feel seen, you know, there's not many books that I felt seen in. I read a lot and I love stories and, yeah. It really accomplishes that. that. th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho that thi thate tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that, that, that, thou, the the the and thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooes, there's not many books that I felt seen in. I read a lot and I love stories and yeah. It really accomplishes that and I love how you talk about when

you were growing up you grew up on a farm and you always thought this is not what I'm going to do and then you chose differently you chose to follow in the footsteps of your mom and your grandmother. Why did you change your mind? Oh I think love changes a lot of things. I fell in love with a farmer. Ah, that's how it happens. Against all my better judgments and here, yeah. Yeah, here I am.

And it wasn't, it wasn't initially kind of, I want to just do the things that my grandma and mom had done. It's like a, I'm making art as well through this writing and working and thinking and th and th and thi and thi and thin and thi and thi and thi and thi and thi and thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's how that's how that's how that's how that's how that's how that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thiii thiiii's how thithings that my grandma and mom had done. It's like I'm making art as well through this writing and working and thinking about life through the creative projects that I'm doing. So it's not just, I'm just doing one thing. And I think we're all lots of different things, aren't we? Yes. I love when you say in the book, I choose this life. I choose this life. And that's how I feel as a New Yorker, when I see someone masturbating on the six train, I say, I chose this life.

This is on me. I have to live with those choices. Nick, you're probably, you know, when you're acting and you're on set, people take really good care of you. I assume you're at you're on set, people take really good care of you. I assume you're at this point in your career. Mr. Offerman, can I hold your umbrella for you?

What can I get you for breakfast? I'm fully molly coddled. It's another contract. So, so was it when you went Well, no, that's actually the strange thing that attracted me to them and the subject matter is I grew up in a wonderful family in small town, Illinois. My mom and dad both grew up on farms, a few miles to each side of where I grew up, and they have these incredible work ethics and family values.

And so even though my life led me to like show business and Chicago and then Los Angeles, I still gravitate towards like, it's like my Disneyland. I crave, can I just please go to a farm and do the dishes or help you shovel some sheep muck? And so I mean, it wasn't something that I like, cognitively sought out. It happened more, more organically where I said I'm really attracted to this family and I showed up and they have four kids, I come from a family of four kids and I just tried to subtly adopt myself into the

family. Did it work? And he's now officially adopted. And we had no clue who Nick was when he first arrived. And he was working on a show called Dev. How does that make me feel? It actually makes me feel really good because I know that they're not going to tweet about me. He had a big beard and he was bald and he'd been filming on Dev's, so that was, you know, a sort of strange look that you were pulling there.

And then my mom was, she called in for something. And she said, who is this guy? Helen, who is this guy? He looks like an escape convict. Are you safe tonight? You know, are you going to be safe? Blink twice if you need health. Yeah. And you know, she's not too keen on your first look.

But she's since warmed up, hasn't she? She, you, you, you, you, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she has. If she has. If she has then, she has then, she has. If she's thia, she's thia, she's thiolinked. thioled. thioled. thioled. thi, she's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. And, she, th and she, she, she, she. She's th and she. She's thi? She's thi? She's thi? She's thi? She's thi? She's thi? She's thia. She's thia. She's thia? She's thiaugh, she's thi. She's th, but she's since warmed up, hasn't she? You know, she has, yes. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. She's, I've graduated to now I look like an escaped invalage. Oh, yes. Congratulations. So you, you worked on Civil War playing the president.

I imagine that was an incredibly intense film to shoot. The second you wrapped, did you run to the farm immediately? Pretty close, yeah. I mean, it is very medicinal. The thing that I love about the life I grew up with, and then the life that I experience on Helen's farm is that in this world of too much information and too much fast-paced attention deficit, when you get into the subject of this book and just raising food with your family,

preparing that food with your family, and just going about the daily life on a farm, you suddenly don't need modern distractions like video games or bullshit like television programs. Oh yeah, who needs those? You know? Who needs basic cable late night? Exactly. And so for me, I just find that to be incredibly palliative.

It's like reading a really good book where suddenly the way they live is like a work of art. And you you can you can curate it and it never has to involve shopping for anything online or going to the mall but instead it's just how good are your Yorkshire puddings? Suddenly like why aren't we all living like this? Well if you ever tried my Yorkshire pudding, you would know it would be better to just shop online of the two. There are so many incredible recipes in this book. What's your favorite recipe to cook? I think I like making something that's going to last us for a long time so I'll cook up a big pot of like a broth or like a hamhock broth? You've had that before?

Haven't you? Have you? Please get a, can we just stop and get me a sandwich? Get a sandwich for a 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 tap?

I'm gonna pass out. But yeah, something that's gonna warm us up after a day working outside. I mean it's it's old-fashioned to talk about this kind of thing isn't it? You know meals around the table and caring for each other and connecting and having conversations around a meal but that's the stuff that's the good stuff to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me that that that's that's that's that's that's th th that's th that's th th.

That's like so important that we try and encourage out kids to learn how to cook, make things and so they can survive out there in the world and understand where it's grown, and let's ask the questions, the important questions about how we're looking after the planet that this food comes from.

That's right. Has it changed the way that you look at food and how it's produced and what you choose to eat? Absolutely. I mean, my fascination with agrarian material, starting me to my life with the rebanks and getting to like help them with lambing and actually you know see lambs being born reaching in and doing some assisting. We are we have a beef herd that I am an investor in. Yes.

And so it's the most gorgeous grass-fed beef. And so not only are these things delicious, but we're trying to... Okay, now I need a sandwich. We're striving to work against the modern idea that our problems can be solved with technology instead of just working in concert with Mother Nature.
