00:13:38,385 But with America, it's like, look at this chunky boy! 365 00:13:38,485 --> 00:13:39,453 Look at him! 366 00:13:39,553 --> 00:13:40,554 He's so chunky! 367 00:13:40,654 --> 00:13:42,155 I

picture! 371 00:13:45,959 --> 00:13:47,160 All right, that's it for the headlines. 372 00:13:47,261 --> 00:13:48,328 But before we go to a quick break, 373 00:13:48,428 --> 00:13:49,530 let's check in on the stock market 374 00:13:49,630 --> 00:13:51,798 with our finance expert, Michael Kosta, everybody. 375 00:13:51,899 --> 00:13:55,903 [cheering] 376 00:13:56,003 --> 00:14:00,874 Michael, what is happening in the market today? 377 00:14:01,041 --> 00:14:03,844 Well, like a fat bear on a scale, 378 00:14:03,944 --> 00:14:05,479 I'm crushing it, everybody. 379 00:14:05,579 --> 00:14:07,514 I

before we get into this, Fat Bear Week, you know, 383 00:14:12,352 --> 00:14:13,253 here's a question. 384 00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:15,856 Well, why are people voting? 385 00:14:15,956 --> 00:14:18,559 We have the information from the scale. 386 00:14:18,659 --> 00:14:21,662 Doesn't that tell us who the fattest bear is? 387 00:14:21,762 --> 00:14:23,297 Am I the only one watching this story? 388 00:14:23,397 --> 00:14:24,965 We have a scale. 389 00:14:25,065 --> 00:14:27,267 The scale tells us who the fattest bear is. 390 00:14:27,367 --> 00:14:28,902 There's no need to vote, OK? 391 00:14:29,069 --> 00:14:31,371 Oh, officer, officer, I know your radar gun 392 00:14:31,471 --> 00:14:32,606 says I was going 100. 393 00:14:32,706 --> 00:14:35,375 But can we just take a vote on this first? 394 00:14:35,475 --> 00:14:37,177 Come on. 395 00:14:37,277 --> 00:14:38,378 Let's call it what it is, Trevor. 396 00:14:38,478 --> 00:14:40,214 These bears-- they're depressed. 397 00:14:40,314 --> 00:14:41,215 Think about it. 398 00:14:41,315 --> 00:14:42,216 They overeat. 399 00:14:42,316 --> 00:14:44,117 They sleep for months. 400 00:14:44,218 --> 00:14:45,652 They always seem upset. 401 00:14:45,752 --> 00:14:48,622 They freak out when you point a hunting rifle at their cub. 402 00:14:48,722 --> 00:14:51,425 I mean, they're unhinged, dude, all right? 403 00:14:51,525 --> 00:14:53,393 TREVOR NOAH: That's an interesting way to see bears. 404 00:14:53,493 --> 00:14:55,095 Let's talk about-- you want to talk about money? 405 00:14:55,162 --> 00:14:56,096 Yeah, let's talk about money. 406 00:14:56,196 --> 00:14:57,431 Let's talk about money, Trevor. 407 00:14:57,531 --> 00:14:59,800 Uber and Lyft-- now I'm an expert on this topic. 408 00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:02,870 I actually use Uber Black, Trevor, because I'm an ally, 409 00:15:03,036 --> 00:15:03,871 so that's for you. 410 00:15:04,037 --> 00:15:07,140 But-- but-- but-- it's not a joke. 411 00:15:07,241 --> 00:15:08,442 It's not a joke. 412 00:15:08,542 --> 00:15:09,910 Look-- OK. 413 00:15:10,043 --> 00:15:13,881 [applause] 414 00:15:14,047 --> 00:15:16,783 As you can see on this chart, after President Biden 415 00:15:16,884 --> 00:15:18,886 announced that gig workers should be considered 416 00:15:19,052 --> 00:15:20,754 employees, Uber and Lyft shares have 417 00:15:20,854 --> 00:15:22,656 taken a ride of their own, OK? 418 00:15:22,756 --> 00:15:26,126 Now this chart also perfectly demonstrates 419 00:15:26,226 --> 00:15:28,795 my enjoyment of making conversation 420 00:15:28,896 --> 00:15:31,398 with my Uber driver, OK? 421 00:15:31,498 --> 00:15:34,134 At the beginning, it's fine, you know? 422 00:15:34,234 --> 00:15:37,704 Offers me a mint, gives me a bottle of water for a baby. 423 00:15:37,804 --> 00:15:40,741 But, look, it starts to drop right here when he 424 00:15:40,841 --> 00:15:42,543 asks me to come sit up front. 425 00:15:42,643 --> 00:15:43,877 Oh, god, right? 426 00:15:43,977 --> 00:15:47,147 And another big drop in value again when he finds out I 427 00:15:47,247 --> 00:15:49,449 work at The Daily Show and asks me if I'm the guy that 428 00:15:49,550 --> 00:15:50,817 goes to the Trump rallies. 429 00:15:50,918 --> 00:15:54,555 But, look, his value increases when I 430 00:15:54,655 --> 00:15:55,923 learn he used to be a doctor. 431 00:15:56,089 --> 00:15:58,358 And I can ask him free medical questions. 432 00:15:58,458 --> 00:16:01,028 But turns out he's actually just a chiropractor, 433 00:16:01,061 --> 00:16:02,629 so he loses all his value. 434 00:16:02,729 --> 00:16:05,465 But then I find out that he has prescription meds in his trunk 435 00:16:05,566 --> 00:16:07,034 for me, so it goes back up. 436 00:16:07,067 --> 00:16:09,369 And, you know, Mikey likey, OK? 437 00:16:09,469 --> 00:16:10,370 So-- 438 00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:13,207 [applause] 439 00:16:13,307 --> 00:16:15,509 Thank you. 440 00:16:15,609 --> 00:16:18,145 I offered you a hot tip, and it's usually a financial tip. 441 00:16:18,245 --> 00:16:19,847 But I feel like I have to explain this because it 442 00:16:19,947 --> 00:16:21,248 keeps happening to me. 443 00:16:21,348 --> 00:16:24,084 If you're my Uber driver, and I fall asleep in the backseat, 444 00:16:24,184 --> 00:16:25,752 do not try to wake me up. 445 00:16:25,853 --> 00:16:27,754 I will bite you, OK? 446 00:16:27,855 --> 00:16:29,656 Back to you, Trevor, my brother. 447 00:16:29,756 --> 00:16:31,158 [laughter] 448 00:16:31,258 --> 00:16:32,392 Michael Kosta, everybody. 449 00:16:32,492 --> 00:16:34,494 All right, when we come back, Desi Lydic 450 00:16:34,595 --> 00:16:36,163 discovers yet another thing that is wrong with 451 00:16:36,263 --> 00:16:37,464 America's elections. 452 00:16:37,564 --> 00:16:38,465 So don't go away. 453 00:16:38,565 --> 00:16:41,869 [cheering] 454 00:16:54,852 --> 00:16:56,720 [applause] 455 00:16:56,820 --> 00:17:00,057 Welcome back to The Daily Show. 456 00:17:00,157 --> 00:17:04,094 With all the recent accusations of ballot rigging and fat bear 457 00:17:04,194 --> 00:17:06,931 fraud, it is no surprise that Americans have become less 458 00:17:07,031 --> 00:17:08,599 confident in their elections. 459 00:17:08,699 --> 00:17:11,535 But as Desi Lydic discovers in her new series, 460 00:17:11,635 --> 00:17:14,638 America's election infrastructure may be in even 461 00:17:14,738 --> 00:17:17,441 worse shape than you think. 462 00:17:17,541 --> 00:17:20,744 Hi, I'm Peabody Award-wanting investigative 463 00:17:20,844 --> 00:17:22,379 journalist Desi Lydic. 464 00:17:22,479 --> 00:17:25,583 Elections, they're the bedrock of democracy, 465 00:17:25,683 --> 00:17:29,954 and the only thing preventing us from not having elections. 466 00:17:30,054 --> 00:17:32,756 But is America's election system reliable, 467 00:17:32,856 --> 00:17:34,892 or are we one glitchy voting machine 468 00:17:34,992 --> 00:17:36,660 away from a total collapse? 469 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,829 I'll investigate in our new segment, 470 00:17:38,929 --> 00:17:45,769 "Votedemic 2022, Our Crumbling Election Infrastructure." 471 00:17:47,004 --> 00:17:49,340 After our nation's last elections went super smooth. 472 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,643 Dozens of voters were locked out of the one single polling 473 00:17:52,743 --> 00:17:53,677 place for all of Louisville. 474 00:17:53,777 --> 00:17:55,813 Reports of hours of long lines, 475 00:17:55,913 --> 00:17:59,116 voting machine malfunctions, provisional ballot shortages. 476 00:17:59,149 --> 00:18:02,253 Officials are looking at calling in the National Guard. 477 00:18:02,353 --> 00:18:04,755 I wanted to find out how ready we are for the midterms, 478 00:18:04,855 --> 00:18:06,590 so I'm headed to our nation's capital 479 00:18:06,690 --> 00:18:09,326 to talk with election advocates at the Democracy Fund. 480 00:18:09,426 --> 00:18:10,628 My name is Tammy Patrick. 481 00:18:10,728 --> 00:18:12,897 I'm a senior advisor to the elections team 482 00:18:12,997 --> 00:18:16,000 at the Democracy Fund, which seeks to ensure that we have 483 00:18:16,133 --> 00:18:20,404 an open and just democracy that is inclusive and trustworthy 484 00:18:20,504 --> 00:18:21,906 for all of our citizens. 485 00:18:22,006 --> 00:18:24,942 Ooh, it sounds like you got your work cut out for you. 486 00:18:25,042 --> 00:18:26,277 We do in this moment. 487 00:18:26,377 --> 00:18:28,012 There's a lot of work to be done, 488 00:18:28,145 --> 00:18:31,348 but it may not be in the areas that necessarily think it is. 489 00:18:31,448 --> 00:18:33,450 All right, what are all the problems 490 00:18:33,551 --> 00:18:35,152 for this upcoming election? 491 00:18:35,219 --> 00:18:38,155 So we continue to see a shortage of poll workers, 492 00:18:38,222 --> 00:18:40,758 the global supply chain issues, underfunding of our 493 00:18:40,858 --> 00:18:42,159 election infrastructure. 494 00:18:42,259 --> 00:18:44,662 Wait, wait, wait, Tammy, Tammy, Tammy, let's start 495 00:18:44,762 --> 00:18:46,530 with the most pressing issue. 496 00:18:46,630 --> 00:18:48,232 Well, one of the most pressing issues 497 00:18:48,332 --> 00:18:51,335 in this moment, because of where we are in the election 498 00:18:51,435 --> 00:18:56,106 cycle, is a paper shortage. 499 00:18:56,173 --> 00:18:57,641 Paper? 500 00:18:57,741 --> 00:18:58,742 Paper? 501 00:18:58,842 --> 00:19:01,879 Tammy, it's 2022, who's using paper to vote? 502 00:19:01,979 --> 00:19:03,781 So the vast majority of Americans 503 00:19:03,881 --> 00:19:06,951 actually cast a paper ballot. 504 00:19:07,117 --> 00:19:10,154 Yeah, no, I knew that. 505 00:19:10,254 --> 00:19:11,889 I vote every election. 506 00:19:11,989 --> 00:19:13,557 I got the stickers to prove it. 507 00:19:13,657 --> 00:19:15,793 Well, that's great, but election offices 508 00:19:15,893 --> 00:19:18,662 all around this country have ordered their ballots, 509 00:19:18,762 --> 00:19:20,231 they've ordered envelopes, they've 510 00:19:20,331 --> 00:19:22,299 ordered paper materials that they need, 511 00:19:22,399 --> 00:19:24,401 and they may not get them in time 512 00:19:24,501 --> 00:19:26,370 for the upcoming election. 513 00:19:26,470 --> 00:19:29,240 Who's going to be affected by this paper shortage most? 514 00:19:29,340 --> 00:19:31,408 What it looks like is going to happen, 515 00:19:31,508 --> 00:19:34,578 will be those small election offices serving 516 00:19:34,678 --> 00:19:37,014 rural communities where they don't have 517 00:19:37,147 --> 00:19:39,149 a large service provider that's helping 518 00:19:39,250 --> 00:19:40,818 them take care of this issue. 519 00:19:40,918 --> 00:19:47,558 Are you saying that the rural community, am I, rural. 520 00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:49,560 Am I saying that right? 521 00:19:49,660 --> 00:19:50,728 Rural. 522 00:19:50,828 --> 00:19:53,163 The rural, OK, you know what I'm saying. 523 00:19:53,264 --> 00:19:57,334 As I learned about this large swath of Americans, rural, 524 00:19:57,434 --> 00:19:59,637 rural, I realize this paper shortage 525 00:19:59,737 --> 00:20:01,505 could affect a lot of people. 526 00:20:01,605 --> 00:20:03,941 Well, I guess I got to go find some paper people. 527 00:20:04,108 --> 00:20:05,743 Oh, wait, there's more to talk about. 528 00:20:05,843 --> 00:20:06,944 Can it, Tammy. 529 00:20:07,111 --> 00:20:09,480 But can America just sneak some printer paper home 530 00:20:09,580 --> 00:20:11,181 from work like the rest of us? 531 00:20:11,282 --> 00:20:14,018 I went to Runbeck Election Services, one of the largest 532 00:20:14,118 --> 00:20:17,354 ballot printing facilities, to get an inside look at how dire 533 00:20:17,454 --> 00:20:18,822 the paper shortage is. 534 00:20:18,923 --> 00:20:21,292 We print ballots for several states and counties 535 00:20:21,392 --> 00:20:22,359 across the nation. 536 00:20:22,459 --> 00:20:24,628 We're in 23 states, plus Washington, DC, 537 00:20:24,728 --> 00:20:26,230 with some of our products. 538 00:20:26,330 --> 00:20:27,364 Wow. 539 00:20:27,464 --> 00:20:28,966 So you're a huge part of the voting process. 540 00:20:29,133 --> 00:20:30,367 Yeah. 541 00:20:30,467 --> 00:20:33,137 We touch roughly 45% to 50% of the voters around the country. 542 00:20:33,237 --> 00:20:34,138 You touch a lot of voters. 543 00:20:34,238 --> 00:20:35,139 Yep. 544 00:20:35,239 --> 00:20:36,273 But with consent. 545 00:20:36,373 --> 00:20:37,408 Absolutely. 546 00:20:37,508 --> 00:20:39,777 So what's going on with this paper shortage? 547 00:20:39,877 --> 00:20:40,844 It started during COVID. 548 00:20:40,945 --> 00:20:42,646 When the paper mills shut down, they 549 00:20:42,746 --> 00:20:44,148 couldn't generate more paper. 550 00:20:44,181 --> 00:20:45,849 So they sold through all their inventory. 551 00:20:45,950 --> 00:20:47,551 And then when they started going back to work, 552 00:20:47,651 --> 00:20:49,954 they converted to liner board for cardboard boxes. 553 00:20:50,087 --> 00:20:51,789 Amazon still needs to ship things. 554 00:20:51,889 --> 00:20:53,224 [bleep] Bezos, man. 555 00:20:53,324 --> 00:20:55,292 And now we don't have the inventory any longer, 556 00:20:55,392 --> 00:20:56,760 and so they're trying to play catch-up. 557 00:20:56,860 --> 00:20:58,128 And you're saying there's a paper 558 00:20:58,229 --> 00:20:59,730 shortage happening right now. 559 00:20:59,830 --> 00:21:06,403 Yes. 560 00:21:06,503 --> 00:21:08,105 Jeff, I don't know how to tell you this, 561 00:21:08,205 --> 00:21:11,342 but I see a [bleep] ton of paper around here. 562 00:21:11,442 --> 00:21:13,110 So what you see here on our production floor 563 00:21:13,143 --> 00:21:15,112 is a fraction of what we need for the whole year. 564 00:21:15,179 --> 00:21:18,682 Every day we'll go through 65 of those rolls. 565 00:21:18,782 --> 00:21:20,885 65 of these roles? 566 00:21:20,985 --> 00:21:22,253 Yes. 567 00:21:22,353 --> 00:21:23,721 Jesus Christ. 568 00:21:23,821 --> 00:21:25,422 Historically, we could order paper, 569 00:21:25,522 --> 00:21:27,625 and in two to three weeks we would have what we need. 570 00:21:27,725 --> 00:21:29,693 Now it's three to four months or more. 571 00:21:29,793 --> 00:21:31,762 And that's been the problem this year. 572 00:21:31,862 --> 00:21:33,697 How bad are we talking? 573 00:21:33,797 --> 00:21:36,400 Like we might need to start printing double-sided bad? 574 00:21:36,500 --> 00:21:38,335 Or the majority of Americans won't get 575 00:21:38,435 --> 00:21:40,037 to choose their president bad? 576 00:21:40,137 --> 00:21:41,438 Well, let's hope it doesn't get to that. 577 00:21:41,538 --> 00:21:43,774 Everybody is working to avoid that very problem. 578 00:21:43,874 --> 00:21:45,643 But we already do print double-sided ballots, 579 00:21:45,743 --> 00:21:49,213 so there is, we already print on both sides of the paper. 580 00:21:49,313 --> 00:21:51,115 Jeff, that means it's bad. 581 00:21:51,215 --> 00:21:52,116 Kind of. 582 00:21:52,216 --> 00:21:53,417 Walk me through everything that 583 00:21:53,517 --> 00:21:54,852 would be affected if the election 584 00:21:54,952 --> 00:21:56,921 community runs out of paper. 585 00:21:57,087 --> 00:21:58,622 If there's no paper, it's hard to mail 586 00:21:58,722 --> 00:22:01,425 ballots, envelopes, I Voted stickers, 587 00:22:01,525 --> 00:22:02,426 and instructions sheets. 588 00:22:02,526 --> 00:22:04,261 Wait, wait, voting stickers? 589 00:22:04,361 --> 00:22:06,263 Voting stickers could be gone. 590 00:22:06,363 --> 00:22:07,932 Could be. 591 00:22:08,098 --> 00:22:11,101 But the sticker's the best part of voting, 592 00:22:11,135 --> 00:22:12,670 the only reason I vote. 593 00:22:12,770 --> 00:22:15,272 Could also do digital stickers. 594 00:22:15,372 --> 00:22:16,640 Instead of getting the physical sticker, 595 00:22:16,740 --> 00:22:22,413 you get a digital sticker when you vote. 596 00:22:22,513 --> 00:22:25,115 Jeff, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. 597 00:22:25,182 --> 00:22:26,116 Fair enough. 598 00:22:26,217 --> 00:22:28,485 OK, I just have a few more questions. 599 00:22:28,586 --> 00:22:34,225 [paper

that's what you do, right? 614 00:23:09,260 --> 00:23:10,160 No. 615 00:23:10,261 --> 00:23:11,829 It was time to roll up my sleeves, 616 00:23:11,929 --> 00:23:13,230 so I didn't get ink on them. 617 00:23:13,330 --> 00:23:14,231 Gross. 618 00:23:14,331 --> 00:23:16,734 This paper palace was pumping. 619 00:23:16,834 --> 00:23:19,136 And it turns out, there's a lot more to printing 620 00:23:19,236 --> 00:23:20,771 than just hitting Control-P. 621 00:23:20,871 --> 00:23:22,106 So this is where it all starts. 622 00:23:22,172 --> 00:23:24,375 We get the files from the county, the PDFs, 623 00:23:24,475 --> 00:23:26,010 so we can start the print process. 624 00:23:26,110 --> 00:23:27,011 Ah. 625 00:23:27,111 --> 00:23:28,212 Let me ask you a question. 626 00:23:28,312 -->

00:23:35,152 --> 00:23:38,355 So every roll of paper will generate about 1,000 ballots. 630 00:23:38,455 --> 00:23:39,990 When we're running in an election, 631 00:23:40,124 --> 00:23:42,860 we'll be

676 00:25:34,539 --> 00:25:36,641 but by the stories that you told, 677 00:25:36,741 --> 00:25:38,943 the way you encapsulated people's cultures, 678 00:25:39,043 --> 00:25:41,045 their identities, everything, into something 679 00:25:41,145 --> 00:25:42,713 we take for granted every day, which is food. 680 00:25:42,813 --> 00:25:44,649 Let's start with, like, the very beginning, 681 00:25:44,749 --> 00:25:45,650 the inception of it all-- 682 00:25:45,750 --> 00:25:47,084 Ghetto Gastro. 683 00:25:47,184 --> 00:25:48,653 So many people have a negative connotation 684 00:25:48,753 --> 00:25:50,421 when it comes to ghetto, be like, ooh, that's ghetto. 685 00:25:50,521 --> 00:25:53,257 You know, and then gastro has this culinary idea behind it. 686 00:25:53,424 --> 00:25:54,792 But you took it and you flipped it. 687 00:25:54,892 --> 00:25:56,727 I'd love to know why you chose that name. 688 00:25:56,827 --> 00:25:58,563 Well, we know opposites attract. 689 00:25:58,663 --> 00:26:00,831 And as a multidisciplinary business, 690 00:26:00,932 --> 00:26:03,434 we want to use food as a vehicle to tell stories, 691 00:26:03,467 --> 00:26:06,604 you know, about culture, politics, empowerment. 692 00:26:06,704 --> 00:26:09,907 You know, mainly, we're using our creative energy to uplift 693 00:26:10,007 --> 00:26:10,975 Black and Brown communities. 694 00:26:11,075 -->

it, the way you do it is by leveling up, 698 00:26:20,284 --> 00:26:22,453 I mean, food from all over the world. 699 00:26:22,553 --> 00:26:23,821 I've eaten your food. 700 00:26:23,921 -->

00:26:43,808 with a level of excitement, pride, and joy because that's 711 00:26:43,908 --> 00:26:45,142 what you encapsulate. 712 00:26:45,243 --> 00:26:49,413 You know, you take food and you create a story from it. 713 00:26:49,447 --> 00:26:51,415 Why do you think it's so important to do that? 714 00:26:51,482 --> 00:26:54,952 Well, we break bread to build bridges, you know? 715 00:26:55,052

00:27:10,034 and how important it is what we put into our bodies. 722 00:27:10,134 --> 00:27:13,337 So we're making conscious food, high vibrational food, 723 00:27:13,437 --> 00:27:15,106 you know,
