ANNOUNCER: Coming to you from New York City,
the only city in America,

Tonight:
Trump versus fruit,
Madison Cawthorn versus everyone,
and Daniel Ricciardo!
This is The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
(cheering and applause)
What's going on, everybody? Welcome to The Daily Show.
I'm Trevor Noah. Thank you so much for tuning in.
Thank you for coming out in person.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for being here.
Everybody,
thank you for being here. Take a seat. Take a seat.
Man, we have got a great show for you tonight.
Our guest is one of the biggest stars in Formula 1.
You probably know him from Netflix's hit show
Drive to Survive. Daniel Ricciardo is joining us,
everyone. The best smile in racing.
Plus, Desi Lydic's got your weekend weather,
Donald Trump is terrified of fruit, and we introduce you
to the most scandalous Congressperson in these streets.
So, let's do this, people.
Let's jump straight into today's headlines.
-♪ ♪ -(cheering, applause)
All right, let's kick things off
with the latest news from Afghanistan.
For months now, we have known that the Biden administration
completely botched the exit of American troops from
America's longest war. Yeah, even the Game of Thrones guys
like, "Oof. Rough ending."
But now, for the first time, we're learning the details
of how costly this mistake actually was.
We do have some new CNN reporting this morning.
The U.S. left behind seven billion dollars
worth of military equipment
in the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan last year.
That equipment now in the hands of the Taliban.
What kind of equipment is it? According to the report,
a few details: aircraft, munitions, military vehicles,
weapons, communications gear. A lot of it requires
very precise maintenance to remain usable.
They don't know if the Taliban have been able
to keep all of this stuff running. That's a,
that's a key question that they may never get an answer to.
They left seven billion dollars worth of military equipment
in Afghanistan.
How is that even possible? Like, 'cause, I get anxiety
leaving a hotel in a hurry, you know?
I get that. You know, like, when you're rushing and then you
toothbrush? But Let me tell you something--
if I left seven billion dollars worth of toothbrushes,
we're turning this Uber around, people. We're going back.
Now, a-according to the people who left the stuff behind--
and this-this part was really interesting--
they say this might not be an issue. Because they say
the Taliban might not be able to operate this stuff anyway
because of how complicated it is.
Now, first of all, I feel like they're just saying that
cover their ass. Second of all, how are they gonna act like
the Taliban doesn't have YouTube?
You can find anything on YouTube.
Anything!
You're telling me only Americans can use this equipment,
but the Taliban can't?
They're acting like to turn the tank on,
you have s-sing, like, the theme song to Friends, you know?
You just got to be like, "Come on, guys.
You got to get the claps right."
It's not working! What's happening?
Here's my question. Here's my question.
America never has the money for anything. Right?
There's not enough money for health care, there's not enough
money for education, there's not enough money to finally finish
the Washington Monument by putting two balls on it, but...
America has no problem with leaving behind
seven billion dollars worth of weapons?
How come that never happens any other way?
Like, just once, I would love to turn on the news
and hear something like...
This just in: the government
has too much money for health care.
So, everyone gets a free butt lift.
It's mind-boggling, people. It's mind-boggling how much
money America wastes on the military.
And don't let them trick you into saying, like,
"Oh, no, it goes to the troops." Cause it doesn't
go to the troops. All right? The troops are not
balling in the club. No. The defense contractors
is where the money goes.
And then you hear these people, like,
"Well, we need to spend that money to keep people safe."
But let me ask you this.
What's more threatening to people in America?
A group of rebels in some foreign country
or health care nobody can afford,
toxic drinking water, poverty, pollution?
Because if I was America,
I would spend my war money on the biggest threats.
Yeah. That's what I would do.
And then I would send the Taliban
Flint's old water pipes.
That's how I'd fight.
You don't need missiles. Just send that shit.
"Yeah, try drinking now."
All right, but let's move on to England,
the world's number one exporter of Benedict Cumberbatches.
(laughter and applause)
As you may know, U.K. Parliament can be a pretty rowdy place.
You know, every day, people are shouting
and booing at each other like the crowd
at the world's pastiest rap battle.
But it turns out that there is something
that you're not allowed to do on the floor,
as one British politician found out.
The Conservative Party has launched an investigation
into claims by some of its female MPs
that a Tory colleague watched porn on his mobile phone
in the House of Commons itself.
Who is the Tory MP
accused of watching pornography in the Commons?
We still don't know,
but government ministers have lined up today to condemn him,
saying there's no place for pornography
in any workplace.
The MP could be suspended
and thrown out of the Conservative Party,
and the story has reignited criticism
of the overall culture in Parliament.
A member of the U.K.'s Conservative Party
was caught watching porn during a session,
and now he could be expelled for it.
And I'll be honest. I'm just trying to understand
the motivation here.
No, no, like, like, what part of Parliament
made this guy want to watch porn?
Like, what-what turned him on?
Was there some new legislation that was getting him hot?
You know, was there some other minister
who was like, "This country is going deeper
"and deeper into debt.
We cannot pull out at this point"?
He's just like, "Oh!
Oh, boy! Oh, boy!"
(cheering and applause)
And, you know, if you ask me,
kicking him out wasn't the right punishment, man.
What they should be doing is what parents do
when they catch a kid smoking cigarettes.
Yeah. They should force him to watch all of Pornhub.
That'll teach him a lesson. He'll be like...
(crying): "Oh, I've seen all the categories
"I didn't know existed. Please!
"Who knew Congress had cocaine orgies?
It's too much, Mitch McConnell."
(laughter)
I like that you saw him in your mind.
(chuckles) That was funny.
One of you was like, "Oh, I saw it, Trevor."
I mean, look, I-I get that Britain
doesn't want its politicians watching porn at work.
You know? But I will say I think the one exception
should be the royal family.
No, I-I think porn could really open their eyes
to the beauty of interracial relationships.
You know? That could be a good thing for them.
Oh, and finally, and finally,
if you want to talk about politicians
getting into weird trouble,
then there's no better example than Donald J. Trump,
45th president of the United States
and phantom of the Mar-a-Lago carving station.
You see, the former president
is currently being sued
for inciting violence against protesters.
And it's gotten serious enough
that he was actually forced
to testify about it.
NEWSWOMAN: Former President Donald Trump
testified under oath he was worried
that protesters would hurl things at him
and that they were dangerous.
It's part of his deposition from back in October
for a civil lawsuit in New York where activists claim
that the former president's bodyguards
violently broke up protests
outside Trump Tower back in 2015.
Okay, first of all, it's crazy
that there are so many Trump scandals
that he's literally getting dragged into court
for something we didn't even know was a thing.
Like, did you know this was a thing?
Huh? Did you? Nobody knew.
Nobody knew about this. I didn't.
Trump lawsuits are like Nicolas Cage movies.
There's, like, a bunch where you're like,
"He lost a pig? When did that happen?"
But, anyway, Trump was being sued
for inciting violence to protesters, right?
Against protesters, rather. And then he came up
with one of the most crazy defenses I've ever heard.
This might be my favorite story of the year.
And to fully understand the story,
you have to hear the actual deposition
that Trump gave in the case.
Now, unfortunately, there's no recording.
But, fortunately, there is a transcript.
So, to give you a little taste,
uh, I'm gonna get some help
from our very own Michael Kosta, everybody.
(cheering and applause)
You see...
For your... for your, uh,
understanding and enjoyment,
Kosta and I are going to read sections
from the transcript for you.
Now, he will be reading the parts of various lawyers,
and I will be playing Donald Jackfruit Trump.
And, again, we're just gonna read excerpts
from the actual transcript.
Because, I promise you,
no comedy writer
is gonna come up with something funnier than this.
-All right, are you guys ready? You ready? -AUDIENCE: Yeah!
-(cheering and applause) -All right. Um...
So... so, just so you understand,
the key section begins
with lawyers playing a video
from a 2016 Trump rally.
TRUMP (recorded): If you see somebody getting ready
to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of 'em, would you?
-Seriously. -(cheering, whistling)
Mm.
We were told. We were told.
Mm.
It's worse than a tomato...
Mm.
Mm. Mm-hmm.
I wanted to have people be ready
because we were put on alert
that they were gonna do...
-they were gonna do to fruit. -Mm-hmm.
Mm.
And scene.
(cheering and applause)
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
Thank you. Oh, thank you.
I couldn't do it without you. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
-Thank you very much. -(chuckles)
Our two-man show, The President and the Fruit,
will be, uh, off-Broadway soon.
Again, that conversation really happened
with the former president of the United States.
And I will say this-- he's not wrong about being hit
with a pineapple being dangerous, you know?
I mean, that's got spikes built in.
And the banana, too.
It might not seem dangerous, but remember,
someone throws a banana, it comes right back at them.
So again, just throwing it at you,
keep hitting you over and over again.
You know what I think the worst fruit is to get hit with?
A honeydew. Yeah. No, not because it's hard.
Just because you could get some in your mouth,
-and that shit is disgusting. -(laughter)
Like, I'd hope it hits me in the head and kills me
so I don't have to taste it. That's what I hope for.
But, no, people, this is serious stuff.
And it's actually caused the Secret Service
to alter their methods.
I'm told that we've obtained a classified training video
that shows how Secret Service protesters are now going
to be dealt with, and here's some of the new training.
(chiming, weapon firing)
(explosion, whooshing)
-Incredible. Really incredible. -(applause and cheering)
All right, that's it for the headlines,
but before we go, let's catch up
on this weekend's weather forecast
with our very own Desi Lydic, everybody!
(applause and cheering)
Thank you. Thank you.
-So good to see you. -Great to see you.
-So good to see you. -Yeah.
Uh, so, Desi, what's going on?
Everything's great. I finally disposed
of my last burner phone so that's really exciting.
They got nothing on me now.
-(laughter) -Uh, I don't know what that meant.
I meant what's going on with the weather?
Oh, oh, oh, yeah. No, I'm glad you asked about that,
because I've been meaning to talk to you.
It has been freezing inside this building. Like, really cold.
Every single room. We got to do something about that.
I mean, who set the thermostat, the patriarchy?
(laughter)
-I thought you were going to do the... -Yeah. By the way,
that Trump fruit thing-- that really strikes a chord with me.
Have you ever been hit in the head with a piece of fruit?
-No. -Never?
-No. -No fruit?
-Nothing. -Not, like, a kiwi or a tangerine?
-No, no. -Clementine?
-No fruit ever. -Pear?
-No, no fruit. -Plum?
-No fruit -Some sort of melon, like a cantaloupe?
-It's still "no." -Maraschino cherry?
-No. -An app-ricot?
-No. -An apricot?
-That's the same thing twice. -(laughter)
I have never been hit by a fruit in the head, Desi.
Lucky, lucky, lucky. Wow. Yeah.
Oh, by the way, can you believe that guy got caught
-watching porn at work... passively? -Right.
I mean, what kind of psychopath watches porn passively,
-like it's a commercial or something? -(laughter)
All right, you should be doing one of two things
when you're watching porn-- either pleasuring yourself,
or crying while pleasuring yourself.
-(laughter) -There's, like, no in between.
Even at work, you got to really set the mood and commit.
You got to dim the lights,
roll out a bear skin rug,
fill a glass with a piping hot cup of French onion soup.
(laughter)
Make it nice.
I thought you were ordering the soup because you were sick.
-Don't kink-shame me, Trevor. -I'm not kink...
-Judgy. -You know what?
Desi, could you please just tell us what the weather's gonna be?
-Oh, no, I haven't been outside in weeks. -(laughter)
No, I got to lay low. The whole burner phone thing.
-What is this about? -Well, I would tell you,
but, you know, you might have to testify.
To who?
Trevor, have you not been listening?
The fruit, the porn, the French onion soup.
All of that. You know, well, frankly, now you're implicated
so you got to think about what you're going to say.
-I don't know anything, though. -Ah, yes, exactly.
Say that. That's good.
No. No, I don't know what you're talking about.
-Yeah, tell them that. That's good. -No. Tell who that?
-I don't know what you're talking about. -See?
-This is why I roll with you. -I don't roll...
-I don't know what you're talking about. -This is...
No, I don't roll with you. I don't...
No, this is why I roll with you. This is why we roll.
I feel like you committed a crime,
and I don't want to be a part of... I do not roll with you.
I'm right there with you.
No, no, you're not. Desi Lydic, everybody.
-I'm not with you. -You will ride with me.
-Not with me. You know what? -Ride with me.
-You know what? Let's do this. -(applause and cheering)
We're going to take a quick break separately, not with Desi,
and then after, we will tell you about the many, many scandals
of Congressman Madison Cawthorn. You don't want to miss it.
Not with you. I'm not with you.
No, we're completely separate.
(cheers and applause)
(cheering and applause)
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
You know, most politicians get into trouble
every once in a while. You know, it's part of the job.
A little illegal campaign contribution,
uh, a little sex scandal, a little storming the Capitol.
You know, trivial stuff we've all come to accept.
But in the past few weeks, one member of Congress
has been collecting scandals
like Steve Harvey collects those pinstripe suits.
So, let's check in on what this politician
has been getting up to in another installment
of Fringe-Watching.
-♪ ♪ -(cheering and applause)
Right now, the reigning scandal champion in Washington
is none other than Madison Cawthorn,
congressman from North Carolina
and what lacrosse would look like
if it were a person.
From the moment he showed up
on the political scene two years ago,
Cawthorn has always been a controversial figure.
Right? First, he faced sexual harassment allegations
from his time in college.
And then he was caught lying
about getting into the Naval Academy.
And then he got in trouble
for gleefully posting on Instagram
about his visit to Hitler's mountain retreat
or, as he called it,
"the vacation house of the führer."
Yeah. Which is weird. I mean, we don't need
to be referring to Hitler by his nickname.
Like, I call Jay-Z Hova, right?
But I probably wouldn't do that anymore
if he committed genocide, you know?
And, by the way, this was all before Cawthorn
even got into Congress.
Yeah. Since he's taken the oath of office,
his scandals have definitely not slowed down.
Most recently,
you probably heard that he made headlines
by claiming that other members of Congress
had done cocaine in front of him
and invited him to orgies.
Which, first of all, snitch.
(laughter)
And second of all, the whole thing was a lie.
Of course it's not true.
These people are in Congress.
They're not throwing an orgy.
That's way too complicated for them.
They'd have to secure funding for the sex toys first.
They'd have to agree on a time and location.
They'd have a committee to debate
about the rules. Is kissing allowed?
Can you do butt stuff? And then at the last minute,
Joe Manchin would show up and object,
and everyone would have to put their dicks back in their pants.
-(groans) -(laughter)
(cheering and applause)
But those coke orgy stories,
that's in the distant past.
That happened way, way...
That was, like, three weeks ago.
Nobody's even talking about that anymore
because Cawthorn is getting into new trouble
every damn day,
starting with some really bad driving.
NEWSWOMAN: Newly released video
shows Congressman Madison Cawthorn
getting his license revoked
during a traffic stop in Cleveland County.
NEWSMAN: The traffic stop came
after the truck crossed the center line.
As the trooper approaches, Cawthorn's informed
that his license plate tag is expired.
The trooper discovered Cawthorn's driver's license
had been revoked due to an out-of-state ticket.
Yeah. First, Madison Cawthorn was pulled over for swerving.
Then the cops found out that he had an expired license plate.
And then he was busted
for having a revoked driver's license.
I mean, those are Hall of Fame numbers right there.
I don't even think O.J. broke that many laws
during his cop chase.
And what's crazy, what's crazy is that this is the second time
that he's been busted for driving with a revoked license.
At this point, he's probably the only member of Congress
who might show up to work with an I.D. that says "McLovin."
He's like, "That's me. That's real."
But if I'm honest, I can-- I can see why.
Of course he's got to drive with a revoked license.
Do you know how embarrassing it must be
when he needs to ask his mom
to drive him to the orgy?
You know? It's just like, "Mom!
"Don't drop me off in front of the mansion.
Just leave me at the corner."
She's like, "Okay, love you!
Make sure you have enough cocaine for everybody!"
So, yes, Madison Cawthorn is not allowed
to drive himself anywhere right now.
But before you think
of giving him a lift to the airport,
you might want to be careful
when you're throwing his bags in the trunk.
U.S. Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn
was cited by police on Tuesday
after they found a loaded handgun in his bag
at a North Carolina airport.
TSA agents found a 9mm handgun
when Cawthorn passed through a security checkpoint.
Police say he was cooperative
and cited for possession of a dangerous weapon
on city property.
It is the second time in just over a year
the young congressman has been stopped
for carrying a gun at an airport.
Ah! Before you judge, before you judge,
who hasn't made this mistake, huh?
The Uber's waiting outside.
You're trying to pack your bags real quick.
You throw in your cologne, your underwear,
your AK-47. Aah! What am I doing?!
You can't take cologne on a plane!
The craziest part about this story is that's the second time
he got caught trying to bring a gun onto a plane in a year.
I get if you made this mays-- mistake, like, 15 years ago.
But twice in one year?
Why are you so invested in getting a gun on a plane?
Huh? How intense is the battle for your armrest, my man?
What are you doing?
And before you ask, yes,
the congressman was punished.
He was given a citation.
Which I know sounds like something they give you
for having the biggest watermelon at the country fair.
But this, this will hurt him.
His life will... be the same.
You know, in a way, I respect him.
A lot of Republicans talk about being pro-police,
but he's the only one out here
personally keeping all of these police departments in business.
I respect that.
So, Cawthorn got caught driving without a license,
and then he got caught trying to bring weapons onto a plane.
And most people would take a breather after that
but not Madison Cawthorn, no.
Because the same day the news broke about the gun,
he was accused of taking part
in a cryptocurrency insider trading scheme.
Yeah, I know.
I was also shocked to hear that this guy was into crypto.
Who would have thought?
So now we got suspended licenses, guns at airports,
possible insider trading--
basically three stars on GTA.
And... guess what, my friends.
Madison Cawthorn even has scandals
that expose his character as a scam.
And in order to understand this next scandal properly,
first, you need to know that Madison Cawthorn
has been saying certain things on the campaign trail
about what it means to be a man.
Our culture today is trying
to completely demasculate all
of the young men in our culture.
We have bred a generation of soft men,
and that generation has created a lot of problems
in our society and our culture.
If you want me to sit here and call a man a woman,
you are asking me to buy into this lie.
And I'll say "No" to that.
Your left-wing movement is forcing children
to endure radical expressions of sexuality,
and I never imagined that one of my sacred duties
in this hallowed chamber
would be explaining to the House speaker
the difference between a man and woman.
You'll never amend biology.
Science is not Burger King.
You can't just have it your way.
(laughter)
That's an interesting way to put it.
I like how Cawthorn is working some product placement
into his floor speeches.
Gender is simple.
Men are like Arby's. We have the meat.
(laughter)
(applause)
But, yes, Madison Cawthorn has been talking a big game
about defending traditional conservative notions
of masculinity and gender, selling himself
as the icon of traditional Christian manhood,
which this country has lost.
So you can imagine how awkward it was for him
to try and explain this.
New tonight-- North Carolina congressman Madison Cawthorn
responding to photos circulating online
that show him wearing women's lingerie.
Cawthorn said on Twitter that these images were first reported
by Politico and came from a game he played during a cruise.
The North Carolina congressman says the photos were taken
long before he ran for office.
-Well, well, well. -(laughter)
Check out Madison over here.
What game were you playing?
"I'm going to put on this lingerie
and look good doing it." Huh?
You said you were a good Christian soldier.
Looks more like a good Christian Louboutin soldier, huh?
Now, I want to be clear. I want to be clear.
A man wearing lingerie isn't a scandal.
Right? It isn't a scandal in any way.
Men can wear whatever they want to wear.
But this particular man-- he spends a lot of time
attacking other people for how they dress,
how they identify, and what their values are.
All I'm saying is, the next time gender issues come up again,
this dude better not get his panties in a bunch.
-That's all I'm saying, you know? -(laughter)
So that's what Madison Cawthorn has been up to
for the past month.
Yeah. And nobody knows
if any of these scandals will end up hurting Cawthorn
in the upcoming election, but what we do know is,
his mom's definitely going to need
to drop him off on Election Day.
All right, stay tuned, because we're going to be joined
by Drive to Survive star,
Formula One superstar Daniel Ricciardo right after this.
(applause and cheering)
(cheering and applause)
Welcome back to The Daily Show. My guest tonight
is Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo.
He's here to talk about racing for McLaren
at the upcoming Miami Grand Prix.
Please welcome Daniel Ricciardo!
-♪ ♪ -(cheering and applause)
Daniel Ricciardo, welcome back to The Daily Show.
-Thanks. Been a while. -(laughs)
You know, this is how long it's been
and how much has changed, but...
Are you... Are you mesmerized by the...
-Yes. (chuckles) -(cheering and applause)
It's-it's getting bigger.
-Yeah, it's a nice feeling, right? -Yeah.
Yeah, it's cool. Thanks. (chuckles)
-(cheering and applause) -Let's...
Let's talk about a few things here.
Let's talk about a few things. Like, um, number one...
Oh, wait, sorry. Let me... Let me make you comfortable.
I... This is the water, but you don't need water. Here.
Sorry. I don't even know why I didn't change this earlier.
-We can... We can do this. Here. -(laughs)
Got you.
Just make things a little more comfortable for you.
-(cheering and applause) -You know?
So we can...
You know what I mean?
Just make the interview a little more comfortable.
-You're very well-prepared. -Well, we want...
You know what I mean? We want to make sure
everyone's drinking what they normally drink.
Um, here we go.
RICCIARDO: Anyone who doesn't know is like,
"What the hell are they doing right now?"
So, so, do you want to explain it?
Or I can. I can. Which... What do you want?
Go on. Go for it.
So, um, Daniel Ricciardo,
one of the best racing drivers in the world,
um, has a tradition, um, where when he wins...
Th-There's champagne.
You've probably seen it at the races.
And they pop the champagne.
But, um, this man--
I guess maybe 'cause you're Australian--
decided not to drink the champagne out of the bottle
but out of a shoe.
-That's not... -RICCIARDO: The shoe I race in
-that's very sweaty. -NOAH: Yes. Yeah.
-Yeah. -I mean, it's all the flavor of the victory,
-you know what I mean? That's what they say. -It is.
-The taste of victory. (laughs) -Success.
And, so, now it's affectionately known as a shoey.
-So, uh, cheers, my friend. Yeah. -Yeah.
I mean, I normally don't do this unless I've won, but hey.
You've won by being here,
-you know what I mean? -Yeah, let's do it.
(cheering and applause)
NOAH: Mmm.
Oh, that's good. That's good.
-That's good. -Mmm.
-I-I just raced in those this weekend. -Oh, good.
Yeah. (laughs)
Let's talk about everything, man.
The first time you were on the show,
I had to explain to some people what Formula One is,
and now you are easily one of the biggest stars in Amer...
Like, can you walk through the street
-without people recognizing you? -(glass clinks)
Uh, watch the bottle.
(laughter)
Um... (chuckles) it's-it's grown a lot.
Like, it-it really has, um...
-I think, since, yeah, Drive to Survive... -Yeah.
...and that's-that's had, uh, four seasons now?
-I think so. -Three or four? Four, maybe?
It's, uh... Yeah, every time we get to the States,
it's getting more and more, and people are...
yeah, kind of spotting me and saying "What's up?"
-and wishing me luck, so it's cool. -People are wearing masks
of your face. That's how pop--
Your-your smile is iconic.
Your joy is iconic.
There are many people who watch Drive to Survive,
and they're just like, "This is the most dramatic sport
I've ever watched." You guys, like--
You try kill each other. You crash into each other.
-I'm not laughing. -Max Verstappen famously... (laughs)
Max Verstappen famously has said, "I don't want to be
"on the show, 'cause it makes Formula One seem more dramatic
than it actually is." Where do you stand?
Like, how much drama is in the sport?
There's certainly a lot in the sport.
-(chuckles) -And there's... There-There's ri--
There are, you know, true rivalries
and-and all that stuff. Um...
You know, so I think with the-the show on Netflix,
Drive to Survive, it's...
I would say they-they, like, sprinkle a little bit on top.
-Uh-huh. -But it's already, like, drama-filled.
But then they'll...
they'll just nudge it along and... (clicks tongue)
little bit of "hey, how are you" on top, you know?
-(chuckles) -I want to know how you stay being
one of the friendliest drivers,
not just, like, smiling with the fans.
You know-- So, for instance, you recently had a crash, right?
-Mm. Yeah. -With Carlos Sainz.
But you went up to him afterwards, you apologized.
Do you-- do you think, like, there's something in you
that makes you go, "I know we're competing,
but, you know, we all want to get along"?
-What-what is that? -I hated every second of the apology.
(laughing)
(clapping)
It's... (chuckles)
Yeah, again, I think probably just with, like, experience
and just being in it for so long, like, I know...
I have the, I guess, maturity now
-to know, like, how much we all put into it. -Yeah.
And as competitive as we are,
we all have something, you know, strongly in common,
and there's only 20 of us in the world that do it.
There's only 20 F1 drivers, so it's...
You know, you-you kind of just respect everyone's journey.
And so, like, the incident, you know,
like, if I hold myself accountable for something,
then, yeah, I feel like I want to,
yeah, just apologize and, um...
It's-it's nothing personal, you know what I mean? So...
I don't think everyone would do it,
but, for me, I just felt better by doing it.
-Yeah. -So we kind of, like...
Clean-clean slate for the next one.
And I know that when we come, like,
-alongside each other on track next, like, there's no... -Yes.
-there's no intensity that's... -Got it, got it, got it.
There'll be an intensity but nothing, um,
heightened, I guess.
The next race is Miami,
for the first time ever,
which means no one has raced on the track.
-Mm-hmm. -That's always strange for drivers,
'cause you guys visualize the track.
You remember what it was like.
You know the surface, the whole--
Like, how much harder is it to race on a track
that you've never raced on than one that you've been on before?
Is it like-- Is-is it a big jump
or is it-- you guys are like, "Ah, no, whatever"?
-It's a challenge. Like, you... -Yeah?
There's-there's some circuits now that we know...
l-literally, I could drive it in my head.
And if you got, like, a stopwatch,
I would be able to visualize within probably a second
-of what it is. -And you hit the times?
-Close enough, yeah. -Like, that, to me,
when I think, if you time me going to the fridge
-to get ice cream... -Yeah.
In my head, I can do it. I can go, "All right."
Then I'm getting up, going to the couch,
uh-huh, go to the fridge,
act like I'm going to get the baby carrots. Then I don't.
Close the thing, get the thing, the ice cream.
And then I'm like, "Ah, ah." Then I'm embarrassed.
Then I take more. Then I'm ashamed.
-Then I'm like, "I may as well finish it." -That was...
Then, ah, put it back. Then I'm like, "It's not finished."
Then I have that. Then I'm like, "Is there another one?"
Then I go, "No, two. Enough's enough."
Self-control. Close the fridge.
-That's pretty much me visualizing... -That was good.
-That was good. -It's pretty much... I know what you mean.
-It's, like, uh, you know? -(applause)
-You visualize. -That was...
But you can't... you can't do that in Miam...
Are you even going to be able to concentrate in Miami?
-Miami's a party. -Yeah.
It's a full-on, non-stop party.
-Mm-hmm. -And you guys are going to be all...
Yeah, it's-it's... No, I don't want to say it's tough.
But for sure, um, when you... when you compete
-in, like, a big city... -Yeah.
'Cause some circuits are in the middle of nowhere, you know.
'Um, 'cause you need a lot of space to build a circuit.
-Right. -So some are out in...
kind of like in fields somewhere.
Um, but, you know, Miami's going to be...
-It's going to be around Hard Rock Stadium... -Right.
-I believe it's called. -Yeah.
And, uh, yeah, it's going to be nuts.
But, um, so we'll do... There's, like, simulators.
-Uh-huh. -So each team has a simulator.
Um, like, a very high-tech, sophisticated one.
So I was on that on Tuesday and trying to just learn
at least where the track is and how it goes.
But it's really into when you get on track and practice.
That's where it's time to learn it as quick as you can.
And getting to a new circuit, you kind of...
gives you a chance to maybe catch on to something
a little quicker than someone else.
So it can maybe, like, create a bigger separation
for the ones that, like, click
and maybe the ones that struggle a bit more.
Before I let you go, when you look forward to races,
what are the ones where you think, "Man, I cannot wait
to get back on that racetrack"?
And you can't say Australia. That's obviously number one.
-Yes, so... -So, that's home.
-Yeah. -Pick another one. -(laughter)
Uh, and I'm not just saying this 'cause we're on American soil,
-but Austin. Like, I get so excited for Austin. -Really?
-Yeah. -Why?
Uh, I swear I have some, like, some DNA,
like, Texan DNA in me or something. I don't know.
-(laughter, applause) -I love it.
Oh, man! Dude, thank you so much for being on the show again.
-Cheers. Thank you. -Good luck for the rest of the season.
Enjoy it. Be sure to watch Daniel compete
in the Formula One Miami Grand Prix on May 8.
We're gonna take a quick break,
but we'll be right back after this.
-Thank you, dude, for real. -(cheers and applause)
-(cheers and applause) -Well, that's our show for tonight,
but before we go, I just wanted to remind you
that nearly 4,000 homes have been destroyed,
and more than 40,000 people have been displaced
by the floods and mudslides in South Africa.
Now, Gift of the Givers is a South African-based
disaster relief organization on the ground
helping those who have been affected by the floods.
So, if you can help them in their work
to act fast and save lives, then please donate at the link below.
Until tomorrow, stay safe out there.
And remember: if you see fruit anywhere, run.
Now here it is-- Your Moment of Zen.

Did you listen to the McCarthy audio that was released?
-Sure I did. -And what was your response as an American?
-(air whipping) -My response that, well, that...
that it was edited.
You see, I know the art of editing.
-So I don't... I... -You think he didn't say that?
I'm not sure. I'm not sure in what context.
But what I'm saying to you is that it's not a matter of trying
to find out it happened, or what he said.
-It's the whole story. -Right.
Don't you guys see it, what you guys are doing?
We asked the Dems the same question.
You know, it's, like, history will judge
the news organizations 100 years from now,
and we'll say, "We're not doing our job."
I'm not saying to cover this.
-I'm saying to cover everything. -Have you talked...?
