00:00:02,002 --> 00:00:03,270
NARRATOR: Coming
to you from New
2
00:00:03,370 --> 00:00:07,207
York City, the only city in
America, it's The Daily Show!
3
00:00:07,307 --> 00:00:11,678
Tonight, election
day is almost here,
4
00:00:11,778 --> 00:00:14,348
investigating the
poll-worker shortage,
5
00:00:14,448 --> 00:00:16,884
and Gabriel Iglesias.
6
00:00:16,984 --> 00:00:21,588
This is The Daily
Show with Trevor Noah.
7
00:00:21,688 --> 00:00:28,662
[cheering, applause]
8
00:00:38,639 --> 00:00:39,573
What's going on, everybody?
9
00:00:39,673 --> 00:00:40,574
Welcome to The Daily Show.
10
00:00:40,674 --> 00:00:41,575
I'm Trevor Noah.
11
00:00:41,675 --> 00:00:42,809
Thank you so much
for tuning in.
12
00:00:42,910 --> 00:00:45,445
Thank you so much for
coming out in person!
13
00:00:45,546 --> 00:00:47,247
We're back.
We're in New York City.
14
00:00:47,347 --> 00:00:48,248
We're in the studio.
15
00:00:48,348 --> 00:00:49,249
Take a seat, everybody!
16
00:00:49,349 --> 00:00:50,350
Let's do this!
17
00:00:50,450 --> 00:00:52,386
We've got a massive
pre-election show for
18
00:00:52,486 --> 00:00:53,520
you tonight.
19
00:00:53,620 --> 00:00:56,123
Donald Trump is coming
for Ron DeSantis.
20
00:00:56,223 --> 00:00:59,059
Democrats are more nervous than
a chihuahua in a rainstorm.
21
00:00:59,159 --> 00:01:01,528
And I guess everyone
has a good relationship
22
00:01:01,628 --> 00:01:03,830
with their fathers, because no
one wants to work the polls.
23
00:01:03,931 --> 00:01:05,132
So let's do this, people.
24
00:01:05,232 --> 00:01:07,768
Let's jump straight
into today's headlines.
25
00:01:07,868 --> 00:01:13,941
[cheering, applause]
26
00:01:14,074 --> 00:01:15,075
All right.
27
00:01:15,142 --> 00:01:16,443
Before we get into
the big stories,
28
00:01:16,543 --> 00:01:18,979
let's catch up on a few other
things going on in the world,
29
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:22,816
starting with our
old friend COVID 19.
30
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:24,918
According to the
CDC, there are now
31
00:01:25,085 --> 00:01:30,991
six new variants, all competing
to become the dominant strain
32
00:01:31,091 --> 00:01:33,460
this winter.
33
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,896
What they don't realize is
that they're all competing
34
00:01:35,996 --> 00:01:38,332
with a strain that's already
infected most of the country,
35
00:01:38,432 --> 00:01:40,200
called the "I don't
give a shit about
36
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:43,370
any of this any more" strain.
37
00:01:43,470 --> 00:01:46,306
[applause]
38
00:01:46,406 --> 00:01:48,842
You know, honestly,
I feel a little
39
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:51,011
bad for the variant that
becomes dominant now,
40
00:01:51,111 --> 00:01:52,212
you know?
41
00:01:52,312 --> 00:01:54,147
Yeah, because like,
everyone has stopped caring.
42
00:01:54,248 --> 00:01:56,450
It's kind of like, if you won
an early season of American
43
00:01:56,550 --> 00:01:57,784
Idol, then you were famous.
44
00:01:57,885 --> 00:02:01,054
But if you win season
34 now, this is just
45
00:02:01,121 --> 00:02:03,423
a story you tell your coworkers
at the coffee machine,
46
00:02:03,524 --> 00:02:04,558
you know?
47
00:02:04,658 --> 00:02:07,127
It's like-- (SINGING)
I'll have mine decaf.
48
00:02:07,227 --> 00:02:08,795
I don't know if you
saw me last night.
49
00:02:08,896 --> 00:02:10,063
I won the American Idol--
50
00:02:10,097 --> 00:02:11,265
OK, I'll have that
report to you soon.
51
00:02:11,365 --> 00:02:13,100
Thank you, sir.
52
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,236
But remember, all those
COVID variants competing
53
00:02:16,336 --> 00:02:17,237
against each other right now--
54
00:02:17,337 --> 00:02:18,705
I just want you
to remember, it's
55
00:02:18,805 --> 00:02:21,108
not about winning or losing.
56
00:02:21,208 --> 00:02:23,377
It's about this, all right?
57
00:02:23,477 --> 00:02:25,546
Getting into someone's lungs
and ruining their week.
58
00:02:25,646 --> 00:02:27,481
Remember that.
59
00:02:27,581 --> 00:02:29,783
In social media
news, on Friday,
60
00:02:29,883 --> 00:02:33,720
Elon Musk kicked off his new
job as the head of Twitter--
61
00:02:33,820 --> 00:02:35,489
[loud booing]
62
00:02:35,589 --> 00:02:37,958
By-- by laying off--
63
00:02:38,091 --> 00:02:39,893
[laughter]
64
00:02:39,993 --> 00:02:44,464
I like how you
built your "booo".
65
00:02:44,565 --> 00:02:45,666
He kicked off as
the head of Twitter
66
00:02:45,766 --> 00:02:47,801
by laying off half
of the workforce.
67
00:02:47,901 --> 00:02:48,802
Yeah.
68
00:02:48,902 --> 00:02:50,337
Even fired the bird.
69
00:02:50,437 --> 00:02:52,773
It was terrible.
70
00:02:52,873 --> 00:02:55,342
It was last seen in a parking
lot [bleep] for worms.
71
00:02:55,442 --> 00:02:56,977
[laughter]
72
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:58,111
Oh, relax, relax.
73
00:02:58,178 --> 00:02:59,513
A dick is just a bigger worm.
74
00:02:59,613 --> 00:03:01,114
But it turns out--
75
00:03:01,215 --> 00:03:03,283
it turns out Musk got a
little ahead of himself,
76
00:03:03,383 --> 00:03:05,085
because this morning,
he's reportedly
77
00:03:05,185 --> 00:03:10,090
trying to rehire dozens of
people that he just fired,
78
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:12,125
after realizing that
he actually needs them.
79
00:03:12,226 --> 00:03:13,126
And I'm going to be--
80
00:03:13,227 --> 00:03:14,127
I'm going to be honest.
81
00:03:14,228 --> 00:03:15,596
I'm going to put it out there.
82
00:03:15,696 --> 00:03:17,364
If he's handling
Twitter like this,
83
00:03:17,464 --> 00:03:19,833
I don't know how comfortable I
would be going with this dude
84
00:03:19,933 --> 00:03:21,869
to Mars, you know?
85
00:03:21,969 --> 00:03:24,104
Yeah, I don't want Elon
walking into my cabin one day,
86
00:03:24,204 --> 00:03:26,206
like hey, guys, it
turns out I accidentally
87
00:03:26,306 --> 00:03:29,109
fired the team that was
bringing the oxygen.
88
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:32,079
But we'll be fine if we just
stop breathing for 69 months.
89
00:03:32,145 --> 00:03:33,080
Ha, ha.
90
00:03:33,146 --> 00:03:34,081
Ha--
91
00:03:34,147 --> 00:03:36,683
[gasping for air]
92
00:03:36,783 --> 00:03:37,918
Oh, and--
93
00:03:38,085 --> 00:03:40,354
[applause]
94
00:03:40,454 --> 00:03:42,089
In sports news--
in sports news,
95
00:03:42,189 --> 00:03:45,192
congratulations to the
Houston Astros, who beat--
96
00:03:45,292 --> 00:03:47,394
who beat the Philadelphia
Phillies on Saturday
97
00:03:47,494 --> 00:03:49,162
to win the 2022 World Series.
98
00:03:49,263 --> 00:03:50,163
Yes.
99
00:03:50,264 --> 00:03:52,733
And this was great
news for Texas,
100
00:03:52,833 --> 00:03:59,840
except for all the people who
had to see Ted Cruz smile.
101
00:04:01,775 --> 00:04:03,610
And I feel bad for
the people in Philly.
102
00:04:03,710 --> 00:04:06,947
They're blackout drunk,
fighting in the streets.
103
00:04:07,047 --> 00:04:10,617
And then, they had to
watch their team lose.
104
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:11,952
All right.
105
00:04:12,052 --> 00:04:13,520
Let's move on to some of the
biggest stories of the day--
106
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:16,056
starting, once again,
with the midterm election.
107
00:04:16,089 --> 00:04:17,624
It's that time in
American politics
108
00:04:17,724 --> 00:04:19,092
where the voters get
to send their order
109
00:04:19,193 --> 00:04:21,161
back to the kitchen, because
they don't like how it tastes.
110
00:04:21,261 --> 00:04:22,696
Mm, too much inflation.
111
00:04:22,796 --> 00:04:25,265
Anyway, with the big
day happening tomorrow,
112
00:04:25,365 --> 00:04:26,433
it's time for us
to catch up on all
113
00:04:26,533 --> 00:04:28,502
the latest updates in
our ongoing coverage
114
00:04:28,602 --> 00:04:32,773
of "Votedemic 2022."
115
00:04:32,873 --> 00:04:36,577
[cheering, applause]
116
00:04:36,677 --> 00:04:38,579
So here we are, people.
117
00:04:38,679 --> 00:04:40,747
After months of campaign
speeches, TV ads,
118
00:04:40,848 --> 00:04:42,549
spam texts, and
fundraising emails,
119
00:04:42,649 --> 00:04:44,818
the midterms end tomorrow.
120
00:04:44,918 --> 00:04:47,221
And I'm glad, especially
because I won't be getting
121
00:04:47,321 --> 00:04:48,488
any more of those spam texts.
122
00:04:48,589 --> 00:04:50,691
They were killing me,
especially the ones that start
123
00:04:50,791 --> 00:04:52,860
like a booty call, you know?
124
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,194
Yeah, it'd be like,
hey, Trevor, you up?
125
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:55,929
I'd be like, yeah.
126
00:04:56,096 --> 00:04:56,964
To save the Senate?
127
00:04:57,097 --> 00:05:01,168
Aww!
128
00:05:01,268 --> 00:05:03,036
But tomorrow, it all ends.
129
00:05:03,136 --> 00:05:06,139
And with so many tight
races, both parties
130
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,575
are pulling out all the stops.
131
00:05:08,675 --> 00:05:11,178
REPORTER: Down to the wire,
a wall-to-wall weekend
132
00:05:11,278 --> 00:05:13,547
of campaigning in the
battlegrounds, candidates
133
00:05:13,647 --> 00:05:15,415
locked in
neck-and-neck battles,
134
00:05:15,516 --> 00:05:16,950
bringing out the big guns.
135
00:05:17,050 --> 00:05:19,052
REPORTER: The biggest names
from both parties fanning out
136
00:05:19,119 --> 00:05:21,054
across the battleground
states that will
137
00:05:21,154 --> 00:05:22,723
decide control of Congress.
138
00:05:22,823 --> 00:05:24,591
REPORTER: Three presidents,
past and present,
139
00:05:24,691 --> 00:05:27,761
flooding Pennsylvania, holding
dueling campaign rallies.
140
00:05:27,861 --> 00:05:30,063
BARACK OBAMA: Fundamental
rights are on the ballot.
141
00:05:30,097 --> 00:05:32,766
Democracy itself
is on the ballot!
142
00:05:32,866 --> 00:05:33,834
The stakes are high!
143
00:05:33,934 --> 00:05:35,369
REPORTER: Now,
even Oprah Winfrey
144
00:05:35,469 --> 00:05:37,271
has now jumped into this race.
145
00:05:37,371 --> 00:05:40,440
She discovered Dr. Oz,
worked with him for years,
146
00:05:40,541 --> 00:05:43,343
but now announcing her
endorsement of Fetterman.
147
00:05:43,443 --> 00:05:44,711
But I will tell you all this.
148
00:05:44,811 --> 00:05:46,547
If I lived in
Pennsylvania, I would
149
00:05:46,647 --> 00:05:49,216
have already cast my
vote for John Fetterman,
150
00:05:49,316 --> 00:05:50,484
for many reasons.
151
00:05:50,584 --> 00:05:52,486
Wow.
152
00:05:52,586 --> 00:05:56,924
Oprah Winfrey, coming out.
153
00:05:57,090 --> 00:05:59,660
And not just coming out--
she came out against Dr.
154
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,398
Oz, the man she created, the
TV doctor she made famous.
155
00:06:04,498 --> 00:06:05,666
And that's always
how it goes, people.
156
00:06:05,766 --> 00:06:07,434
At some point in
life, you have to kill
157
00:06:07,534 --> 00:06:09,670
the monster you create.
158
00:06:09,770 --> 00:06:13,907
Yeah, Dr. Frankenstein and his
creature, Obi-Wan and Anakin,
159
00:06:14,041 --> 00:06:16,743
parents and their kids--
160
00:06:16,844 --> 00:06:18,812
every parent knows the day will
eventually come when you have
161
00:06:18,912 --> 00:06:21,048
to fight your children to the
death to determine who will
162
00:06:21,114 --> 00:06:24,284
control the remote control.
163
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:26,453
But still, Oprah
going for Fetterman
164
00:06:26,553 --> 00:06:28,856
must have broken
Dr. Oz's heart.
165
00:06:28,956 --> 00:06:33,327
Luckily, he has the
perfect cure for that.
166
00:06:33,427 --> 00:06:37,064
Dr. Oz's Broken Heart
dietary supplement.
167
00:06:37,164 --> 00:06:39,600
It'll enhance your mood
and only turn your poop
168
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:41,635
yellow some of the time.
169
00:06:41,735 --> 00:06:48,709
Get it now, before the
FDA outlaws it again.
170
00:06:50,444 --> 00:06:51,345
It's not just Oprah.
171
00:06:51,445 --> 00:06:52,412
It's not just Oprah.
172
00:06:52,513 --> 00:06:53,747
The Democrats are
bringing everyone out--
173
00:06:53,847 --> 00:06:56,283
Bill Clinton, Barack Obama,
which, you have to admit,
174
00:06:56,383 --> 00:06:57,985
is bad news for the Democrats.
175
00:06:58,085 --> 00:06:59,820
Because the bigger
names that you bring out
176
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,389
to support you in the
midterms means the worse
177
00:07:02,489 --> 00:07:03,524
you're doing, right?
178
00:07:03,624 --> 00:07:05,092
Like, if I was a
Democrat in Pennsylvania,
179
00:07:05,192 --> 00:07:06,193
this would be
making me nervous.
180
00:07:06,293 --> 00:07:07,628
You know, it would just
be like, guess what?
181
00:07:07,728 --> 00:07:09,062
Obama is coming to
the rally tonight.
182
00:07:09,162 --> 00:07:10,364
Oh, boy!
183
00:07:10,464 --> 00:07:11,565
And he's bringing Beyonce.
184
00:07:11,665 --> 00:07:14,935
Ah, shit, we're so screwed.
185
00:07:15,035 --> 00:07:17,638
And the truth is, Democrats
are nervous right now.
186
00:07:17,738 --> 00:07:19,306
Because they've got
a lot stacked up
187
00:07:19,406 --> 00:07:20,440
against them in this election.
188
00:07:20,541 --> 00:07:22,042
Inflation is high.
189
00:07:22,075 --> 00:07:23,076
Crime is up.
190
00:07:23,177 --> 00:07:25,846
Pickleball is taking
over for some reason.
191
00:07:25,946 --> 00:07:27,915
And all of that is
sending Democrats
192
00:07:28,048 --> 00:07:30,417
into full-on panic mode.
193
00:07:30,517 --> 00:07:33,387
President Biden is warning
that American democracy
194
00:07:33,487 --> 00:07:34,555
is at risk.
195
00:07:34,655 --> 00:07:36,423
But it may not
be enough to stop
196
00:07:36,523 --> 00:07:37,958
a red wave tomorrow night.
197
00:07:38,058 --> 00:07:39,793
EDWARD-ISAAC DOVERE: A lot
of Democrats, whether they're
198
00:07:39,893 --> 00:07:41,929
elected officials, party
leaders, strategists,
199
00:07:42,062 --> 00:07:44,865
are panicked, that
they feel like things
200
00:07:44,965 --> 00:07:47,234
are not going well for them
in the midterms right now.
201
00:07:47,334 --> 00:07:49,636
REPORTER: President Biden,
heading to traditionally blue
202
00:07:49,736 --> 00:07:52,139
Maryland today,
after a stop Sunday
203
00:07:52,239 --> 00:07:54,608
in another Democratic
stronghold, New York.
204
00:07:54,708 --> 00:07:55,609
Vote!
205
00:07:55,709 --> 00:07:56,677
Get out the vote!
206
00:07:56,777 --> 00:07:57,878
Now!
207
00:07:57,978 --> 00:07:59,646
REPORTER: The President
giving a last-minute boost
208
00:07:59,746 --> 00:08:01,515
to New York Governor
Kathy Hochul,
209
00:08:01,615 --> 00:08:04,184
running in a
now-unexpectedly-tight race
210
00:08:04,284 --> 00:08:06,520
against Congressman
Lee Zeldin in a state
211
00:08:06,620 --> 00:08:08,922
that hasn't elected a
Republican governor in
212
00:08:09,022 --> 00:08:10,090
two decades.
213
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,859
Yeah, that's how
bleak it is looking
214
00:08:12,025 --> 00:08:13,260
for Democrats right now.
215
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,065
They're scrambling to salvage
a governor's race in New York--
216
00:08:18,165 --> 00:08:19,900
New York, which is crazy.
217
00:08:20,033 --> 00:08:22,035
New York is supposed to be
a given for the Democrats.
218
00:08:22,102 --> 00:08:23,203
You know?
219
00:08:23,303 --> 00:08:25,539
This is like having to beg
your stalker to like one
220
00:08:25,639 --> 00:08:27,241
of your posts on Instagram.
221
00:08:27,341 --> 00:08:28,876
It's like come on, man!
222
00:08:29,042 --> 00:08:32,179
My feet are in this one!
223
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:35,115
Yeah, no, it's just not
doing it for me anymore.
224
00:08:35,215 --> 00:08:37,784
So yeah, the expectations are
that Republicans are going
225
00:08:37,885 --> 00:08:40,754
to have a very good
election and that Democrats
226
00:08:40,854 --> 00:08:42,055
are in deep trouble.
227
00:08:42,122 --> 00:08:44,091
But keep in mind, keep in mind,
that's all based on the
228
00:08:44,191 --> 00:08:45,325
polls, which--
229
00:08:45,425 --> 00:08:47,761
I'll be honest-- bugs me
about American politics.
230
00:08:47,861 --> 00:08:50,531
Because polls are
just, like, an idea,
231
00:08:50,631 --> 00:08:53,233
like what a person says, what
they maybe are going to do.
232
00:08:53,333 --> 00:08:54,935
And that's why
they're often wrong.
233
00:08:55,068 --> 00:08:56,537
In fact, these days, it
feels like they're wrong
234
00:08:56,637 --> 00:08:58,372
a lot more than they're right.
235
00:08:58,472 --> 00:09:00,641
And if you went by the polls
in the last election-- like,
236
00:09:00,741 --> 00:09:02,009
think about it.
237
00:09:02,109 --> 00:09:03,777
Susan Collins would have lost
her election by six points.
238
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:05,846
Instead, she won it by nine.
239
00:09:06,013 --> 00:09:08,415
And Lindsey Graham
was tied in the polls,
240
00:09:08,515 --> 00:09:10,517
but instead, he
destroyed his opponents.
241
00:09:10,617 --> 00:09:13,187
And according to the polls,
Joe Biden was supposed
242
00:09:13,287 --> 00:09:14,254
to win by eight points.
243
00:09:14,354 --> 00:09:16,123
Instead, he had to
steal the election.
244
00:09:16,223 --> 00:09:21,028
I mean, you don't know!
245
00:09:21,128 --> 00:09:22,329
And there are a lot of reasons.
246
00:09:22,429 --> 00:09:23,430
There are a lot of reasons
why the polls could be off,
247
00:09:23,530 --> 00:09:24,431
you know?
You don't know.
248
00:09:24,531 --> 00:09:26,033
Maybe the pollsters are biased.
249
00:09:26,066 --> 00:09:27,668
Maybe people who
are answering are
250
00:09:27,768 --> 00:09:29,102
answering sarcastically,
like, oh, I'd
251
00:09:29,203 --> 00:09:30,938
love to vote for Joe Biden.
252
00:09:31,038 --> 00:09:32,039
But the poll doesn't get that.
253
00:09:32,139 --> 00:09:33,273
Or maybe the polls
could be wrong,
254
00:09:33,373 --> 00:09:34,741
because the only people
who answer the polls
255
00:09:34,842 --> 00:09:36,276
are the craziest people ever!
256
00:09:36,376 --> 00:09:37,344
Have you ever answered a poll?
257
00:09:37,444 --> 00:09:38,412
Huh?
No.
258
00:09:38,512 --> 00:09:39,479
Yeah.
259
00:09:39,580 --> 00:09:40,781
If you get a call from
an unknown number,
260
00:09:40,881 --> 00:09:42,816
you don't answer.
261
00:09:42,916 --> 00:09:44,151
What are you, a creep?
262
00:09:44,251 --> 00:09:46,353
In fact, any time a pollster
gets someone to participate,
263
00:09:46,453 --> 00:09:48,655
the next call is
probably to the police.
264
00:09:48,755 --> 00:09:49,890
It's just like, hello, 9-1-1?
265
00:09:50,057 --> 00:09:51,491
Yeah, someone just
picked up my call
266
00:09:51,592 --> 00:09:52,793
and spoke to me for 10 minutes.
267
00:09:52,893 --> 00:09:54,394
You should go check their
freezer for body parts.
268
00:09:54,494 --> 00:09:57,397
Yeah, it's worrying.
269
00:09:57,497 --> 00:09:59,466
But even though the 2022
election isn't over yet,
270
00:09:59,566 --> 00:10:04,438
it looks like the 2024 campaign
might already be underway.
271
00:10:04,538 --> 00:10:06,340
According to
reports, Donald Trump
272
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,277
is planning to announce
another run for president as
273
00:10:10,377 --> 00:10:12,346
soon as the midterms are over.
274
00:10:12,446 --> 00:10:13,580
[booing]
275
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:17,084
Yeah, but he's going to
wait for the midterms first.
276
00:10:17,184 --> 00:10:18,986
Because he wants to do
the responsible thing
277
00:10:19,086 --> 00:10:21,455
and see if his election
deniers get into power,
278
00:10:21,555 --> 00:10:22,756
so they can steal
the election for him.
279
00:10:22,856 --> 00:10:24,391
He's waiting.
It's good.
280
00:10:24,491 --> 00:10:26,260
And even though he hasn't
officially announced that he's
281
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,196
running yet, Trump is
already taking shots at some
282
00:10:29,296 --> 00:10:32,266
of his rivals in the GOP.
283
00:10:32,366 --> 00:10:33,433
REPORTER: Donald
Trump, meanwhile,
284
00:10:33,534 --> 00:10:35,035
and Florida Governor
Ron DeSantis
285
00:10:35,135 --> 00:10:38,372
held competing rallies in the
state of Florida yesterday.
286
00:10:38,472 --> 00:10:41,775
While Trump urged Floridians to
vote for DeSantis in his race
287
00:10:41,875 --> 00:10:44,011
against Democrat Charlie
Crist, the former President
288
00:10:44,111 --> 00:10:45,946
also took a swipe
at the Governor
289
00:10:46,046 --> 00:10:48,382
as a potential 2024 opponent.
290
00:10:48,482 --> 00:10:49,950
DONALD TRUMP: We're
winning big, big, big
291
00:10:50,050 --> 00:10:53,587
in the Republican Party for
the nomination like nobody's
292
00:10:53,687 --> 00:10:55,756
ever seen before.
293
00:10:55,856 --> 00:10:57,024
Let's say-- there it is--
294
00:10:57,124 --> 00:11:02,863
Trump at 71, Ron De
Sanctimonious at 10%,
295
00:11:02,963 --> 00:11:06,767
Mike Pence at 7-- oh, Mike is
doing better than I thought.
296
00:11:06,867 --> 00:11:07,768
Yeah.
297
00:11:07,868 --> 00:11:09,203
I thought he'd be dead by now.
298
00:11:09,303 --> 00:11:11,071
I guess there's
always next time.
299
00:11:11,104 --> 00:11:12,806
He's doing better.
300
00:11:12,906 --> 00:11:15,075
By the way, I love
how Trump always
301
00:11:15,175 --> 00:11:19,313
gives speeches on the tarmac
right in front of his plane.
302
00:11:19,413 --> 00:11:21,248
Have you noticed how he
does-- like, the door is open.
303
00:11:21,348 --> 00:11:22,649
The-- it's almost
like he doesn't
304
00:11:22,749 --> 00:11:25,919
want to spend one second longer
than needed with those people.
305
00:11:26,086 --> 00:11:27,487
He's just like, keep
the engine running!
306
00:11:27,588 --> 00:11:29,089
I want to leave
this shithole town
307
00:11:29,156 --> 00:11:30,123
as soon as I say good night!
308
00:11:30,224 --> 00:11:32,125
In fact, just dangle
me from a helicopter
309
00:11:32,226 --> 00:11:33,427
and pull me up when I'm done!
310
00:11:33,527 --> 00:11:35,095
I want to get out of here
before these rednecks
311
00:11:35,195 --> 00:11:36,096
can touch me!
312
00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:37,397
You saw what they
did to Mike Pence!
313
00:11:37,497 --> 00:11:40,400
These people are dangerous!
314
00:11:40,501 --> 00:11:41,835
But the reason that
speech is going viral
315
00:11:41,935 --> 00:11:44,104
is because of that
bitchy little swipe
316
00:11:44,137 --> 00:11:46,440
at Ron De Sanctimonious.
317
00:11:46,540 --> 00:11:47,441
Yeah, you saw that?
318
00:11:47,541 --> 00:11:49,276
Breaking out a classic
Trump nickname?
319
00:11:49,376 --> 00:11:50,744
I mean, at least we
think it was a nickname.
320
00:11:50,844 --> 00:11:52,746
It could have just been
Trump trying to say DeSantis.
321
00:11:52,846 --> 00:11:53,947
You know him.
322
00:11:54,114 --> 00:11:57,951
De Sanctinonia-- De Nonius.
323
00:11:58,118 --> 00:11:59,887
And what makes the
story even better
324
00:12:00,053 --> 00:12:03,090
is that apparently, Trump
has been privately testing
325
00:12:03,190 --> 00:12:06,159
nicknames for Ron DeSantis.
326
00:12:06,260 --> 00:12:07,294
Yeah.
327
00:12:07,394 --> 00:12:08,862
Which is amazing to me.
328
00:12:08,962 --> 00:12:11,164
The man is at a meeting
with his team of lawyers,
329
00:12:11,265 --> 00:12:13,467
and he's like, all right, all
right, enough of all the ways
330
00:12:13,567 --> 00:12:14,635
that I could go to jail.
331
00:12:14,735 --> 00:12:16,336
What do you guys like better--
332
00:12:16,436 --> 00:12:19,773
Ron De Sanctimonious
or Ron De Shithead?
333
00:12:19,873 --> 00:12:23,076
Which one?
334
00:12:23,143 --> 00:12:25,412
[cheering, applause]
335
00:12:25,512 --> 00:12:32,519
Right now-- Right now, it looks
like a Trump-versus-DeSantis
336
00:12:33,587 --> 00:12:35,856
feud is breaking
out into the open.
337
00:12:35,956 --> 00:12:38,926
And usually, when two
men fight in Florida,
338
00:12:39,092 --> 00:12:40,394
it's at a Margaritaville
at 1:00 AM.
339
00:12:40,494 --> 00:12:44,097
But this-- this is a lot more
high-stakes, which is probably
340
00:12:44,131 --> 00:12:46,633
why a lot of Republicans
are upset with Trump
341
00:12:46,733 --> 00:12:48,335
for going after DeSantis.
342
00:12:48,435 --> 00:12:49,436
Yeah.
343
00:12:49,536 --> 00:12:51,104
Because they're like,
what are you doing?
344
00:12:51,171 --> 00:12:52,673
We love Ron DeSantis.
345
00:12:52,773 --> 00:12:54,007
He's our guy.
346
00:12:54,107 --> 00:12:55,108
And Trump is like,
yeah, I know.
347
00:12:55,175 --> 00:12:57,411
That's why I hate him.
348
00:12:57,511 --> 00:12:58,846
Because you see,
people don't realize
349
00:12:58,946 --> 00:13:00,380
that's the one thing
Trump hates more
350
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,482
than anything-- is anyone
having what he thinks
351
00:13:02,583 --> 00:13:03,550
should be his spotlight.
352
00:13:03,650 --> 00:13:05,352
That might be the
thing that destroys
353
00:13:05,452 --> 00:13:07,454
the Republican chances in 2024.
354
00:13:07,554 --> 00:13:12,226
Donald Trump cannot stand not
being the center of attention.
355
00:13:12,326 --> 00:13:15,062
Yeah, I bet he got jealous
when his kids were born.
356
00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:16,196
You know?
357
00:13:16,296 --> 00:13:17,598
It's like, congratulations,
it's a boy.
358
00:13:17,698 --> 00:13:19,066
He's like, I'm also a boy!
359
00:13:19,099 --> 00:13:21,935
And I've been a
boy much longer!
360
00:13:22,069 --> 00:13:23,070
So long.
361
00:13:23,170 --> 00:13:25,672
Many people [inaudible]
best boy of all time.
362
00:13:25,772 --> 00:13:27,140
All right.
That's it for the headlines.
363
00:13:27,241 --> 00:13:28,642
Before we go to a quick
break, let's check in
364
00:13:28,742 --> 00:13:30,244
on the stop market with
our finance expert,
365
00:13:30,344 --> 00:13:32,179
Michael Kosta, everybody!
366
00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:35,782
[cheering, applause]
367
00:13:35,883 --> 00:13:38,785
Michael, crazy, crazy
times in the economy.
368
00:13:38,886 --> 00:13:40,821
What is happening
in the market today?
369
00:13:40,921 --> 00:13:42,990
I am crushing it.
370
00:13:43,090 --> 00:13:45,726
I mean, also, I bet big
on the World Series.
371
00:13:45,826 --> 00:13:46,827
I did.
372
00:13:46,927 --> 00:13:49,096
Some of you think sports
betting seems risky,
373
00:13:49,196 --> 00:13:50,330
but not the way I do it.
374
00:13:50,430 --> 00:13:51,331
OK?
375
00:13:51,431 --> 00:13:52,633
Here's what I did.
376
00:13:52,733 --> 00:13:55,102
I bet on the Astros, and I
hedged against the Phillies.
377
00:13:55,135 --> 00:13:57,371
So I actually won
on both sides,
378
00:13:57,471 --> 00:14:00,774
then I packaged the winnings
into a credit default swap
379
00:14:00,874 --> 00:14:03,410
that I sold off to a
retirement community
380
00:14:03,510 --> 00:14:05,679
in exchange for equity
into their homes.
381
00:14:05,779 --> 00:14:08,115
Now, it's comp--
it's complicated,
382
00:14:08,215 --> 00:14:09,583
but all you need
to know is that I
383
00:14:09,683 --> 00:14:12,152
own most of your
grandmothers' houses now.
384
00:14:12,252 --> 00:14:13,287
OK?
385
00:14:13,387 --> 00:14:14,955
It's called finance, all right?
386
00:14:15,055 --> 00:14:17,791
Now, I got a hot tip for
you, so pay attention, OK?
387
00:14:17,891 --> 00:14:18,859
I got a hot tip for you.
388
00:14:18,959 --> 00:14:20,894
But first, let's get
to this chart, OK?
389
00:14:21,061 --> 00:14:23,664
Look, this is Twitter
going private,
390
00:14:23,764 --> 00:14:25,832
and this is the
biggest thing to happen
391
00:14:25,933 --> 00:14:28,569
to Wall Street since the
cocaine shortage of '96.
392
00:14:28,669 --> 00:14:29,570
All right?
393
00:14:29,670 --> 00:14:31,471
Yeah, I was there, Trevor.
394
00:14:31,572 --> 00:14:33,774
It was the scariest hour
and a half of my life.
395
00:14:33,874 --> 00:14:34,842
OK?
396
00:14:34,942 --> 00:14:39,880
Now, Twitter was a
publicly traded company,
397
00:14:39,980 --> 00:14:43,517
and then after this
right here, it's private.
398
00:14:43,617 --> 00:14:44,518
OK?
399
00:14:44,618 --> 00:14:46,653
Does everybody understand that?
400
00:14:46,753 --> 00:14:50,090
Public, private.
401
00:14:50,157 --> 00:14:51,124
All right?
402
00:14:51,225 --> 00:14:54,361
Your opinion matters
here, because you're
403
00:14:54,461 --> 00:14:56,096
a member of the public.
404
00:14:56,129 --> 00:14:58,565
But then, after a
single owner took over,
405
00:14:58,665 --> 00:15:02,636
everybody can shut the
[bleep] up about Twitter, OK?
406
00:15:02,736 --> 00:15:04,905
Unless you have $44 billion.
407
00:15:05,038 --> 00:15:06,073
It doesn't matter
what you think.
408
00:15:06,173 --> 00:15:07,140
It's what Twitter--
409
00:15:07,241 --> 00:15:08,575
Trevor, what do you
think about Twitter?
410
00:15:08,675 --> 00:15:09,643
Well, I think--
411
00:15:09,743 --> 00:15:11,645
It doesn't matter
what you think, Trevor!
412
00:15:11,745 --> 00:15:12,646
OK?
413
00:15:12,746 --> 00:15:13,647
OK?
414
00:15:13,747 --> 00:15:14,781
[cheering, applause]
415
00:15:14,882 --> 00:15:15,782
Yeah.
416
00:15:15,883 --> 00:15:17,351
I hate to do it.
417
00:15:17,451 --> 00:15:19,820
It doesn't matter
what anybody thinks
418
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,054
about Twitter, all right?
419
00:15:21,154 --> 00:15:25,292
Now, here's what I
think about Twitter.
420
00:15:25,392 --> 00:15:27,728
Elon Musk is having a tough
time with Twitter right now,
421
00:15:27,828 --> 00:15:29,062
and here's how we
know that, Trevor.
422
00:15:29,129 --> 00:15:31,965
Because everyone on Twitter
is talking about Twitter.
423
00:15:32,065 --> 00:15:33,333
That's not good, OK?
424
00:15:33,433 --> 00:15:34,735
It's like in my house.
425
00:15:34,835 --> 00:15:36,436
When things are going
great, I'm talking
426
00:15:36,537 --> 00:15:37,905
shit about the neighbors.
427
00:15:38,071 --> 00:15:40,073
But when my wife sits
me down and says,
428
00:15:40,140 --> 00:15:42,976
we need to talk about
us, well, obviously,
429
00:15:43,076 --> 00:15:44,344
she did something wrong.
430
00:15:44,444 --> 00:15:45,546
OK?
431
00:15:45,646 --> 00:15:49,082
And now, everyone's
questioning Elon's decisions
432
00:15:49,116 --> 00:15:50,851
and what he's doing,
but let's not forget,
433
00:15:50,951 --> 00:15:53,720
the man has 10 kids, right?
434
00:15:53,820 --> 00:15:55,856
You know how
overwhelming that is?
435
00:15:55,956 --> 00:15:57,457
I have one kid.
436
00:15:57,558 --> 00:15:59,693
Last night, my hair
was in pigtails.
437
00:15:59,793 --> 00:16:03,030
I'm wearing lipstick, singing
the Frozen theme song.
438
00:16:03,130 --> 00:16:05,933
My son is 17 years
old, all right?
439
00:16:06,033 --> 00:16:12,306
But the point is,
kids drive you crazy.
440
00:16:12,406 --> 00:16:13,841
I mean, look what Elon did.
441
00:16:13,941 --> 00:16:17,044
He fired people, and now, he's
hiring the fired people back.
442
00:16:17,077 --> 00:16:19,146
He begged advertisers to stay.
443
00:16:19,246 --> 00:16:21,114
Now, he's threatening
them if they leave.
444
00:16:21,215 --> 00:16:23,116
But of course advertisers
want to leave.
445
00:16:23,217 --> 00:16:24,685
Twitter's getting too toxic.
446
00:16:24,785 --> 00:16:26,787
Can you imagine if
you're a brand now,
447
00:16:26,887 --> 00:16:28,488
you don't want to
be on the timeline.
448
00:16:28,589 --> 00:16:33,093
It's like, Nazi, Nazi,
cheese doodles, Nazi, Nazi.
449
00:16:33,193 --> 00:16:35,829
You at least wanted to be like,
Cheez doodles, Nazi,
450
00:16:35,929 --> 00:16:37,097
Nazi, Nazi.
451
00:16:37,197 --> 00:16:39,166
OK, look, look, look, look.
452
00:16:39,266 --> 00:16:41,935
The tricky situation that
Elon finds himself in
453
00:16:42,069 --> 00:16:44,505
is that Twitter is private now.
454
00:16:44,605 --> 00:16:45,639
Remember?
455
00:16:45,739 --> 00:16:47,107
This is the part of the
chart where I told us
456
00:16:47,207 --> 00:16:48,942
to shut the [bleep] up, right?
457
00:16:49,076 --> 00:16:53,347
But it's a platform that
only runs on public opinions.
458
00:16:53,447 --> 00:16:57,184
So if everyone leaves Twitter,
it's worthless, which brings
459
00:16:57,284 --> 00:16:59,453
me to my hot tip, all right?
460
00:16:59,553 --> 00:17:03,190
If you have $44
billion, just keep it.
461
00:17:03,290 --> 00:17:05,526
[laughter]
462
00:17:05,626 --> 00:17:07,594
[cheering, applause]
463
00:17:07,694 --> 00:17:08,829
Yeah.
464
00:17:08,929 --> 00:17:10,397
It's a great tip for all
the people with $44 billion.
465
00:17:10,497 --> 00:17:12,065
Michael Kosta,
everybody, all right!
466
00:17:12,165 --> 00:17:13,767
When we come back, Desi Lydic--
467
00:17:13,867 --> 00:17:15,702
we'll find out even
more reasons to be
468
00:17:15,802 --> 00:17:16,837
worried about the election.
469
00:17:16,937 --> 00:17:18,272
Don't go away.
470
00:17:18,372 --> 00:17:21,441
[cheering, applause]
471
00:17:27,595 --> 00:17:33,735
[audience cheering]
472
00:17:33,835 --> 00:17:36,337
Welcome back to
The Daily Show.
473
00:17:36,437 --> 00:17:40,675
After two years of voter fraud
accusations and Capitol riots,
474
00:17:40,775 --> 00:17:43,211
it's no surprise that
Americans have become less
475
00:17:43,311 --> 00:17:45,146
confident in their elections.
476
00:17:45,246 --> 00:17:47,715
But as Desi Lydic discovers
in her new series,
477
00:17:47,815 --> 00:17:50,551
America's election
infrastructure may be in even
478
00:17:50,652 --> 00:17:53,688
worse shape than you think.
479
00:17:53,788 --> 00:17:54,722
Hello again.
480
00:17:54,822 --> 00:17:55,990
I'm Desi Lydic.
481
00:17:56,090 --> 00:17:58,192
Elections-- they're
a good gauge
482
00:17:58,293 --> 00:18:00,695
for measuring who your class
considers the smartest,
483
00:18:00,795 --> 00:18:02,163
prettiest, and coolest.
484
00:18:02,263 --> 00:18:04,065
Unless you're up
against Rachel Pearson,
485
00:18:04,165 --> 00:18:05,934
who just brought everyone
cupcakes, because her dad
486
00:18:06,034 --> 00:18:07,201
is rich.
487
00:18:07,302 --> 00:18:10,338
But is our election system
as foolproof as we think?
488
00:18:10,438 --> 00:18:13,207
I continue to investigate
in my ongoing Pulitzer
489
00:18:13,308 --> 00:18:17,045
grab of a segment, "Votedemic
2020: Our Crumbling
490
00:18:17,145 --> 00:18:19,881
Election Infrastructure."
491
00:18:19,981 --> 00:18:21,783
[bleep] you, Rachel.
492
00:18:21,883 --> 00:18:24,352
Previously, I explored the
paper shortage that could
493
00:18:24,452 --> 00:18:25,553
affect ballots this election.
494
00:18:25,653 --> 00:18:26,554
That's you.
495
00:18:26,654 --> 00:18:27,989
But something
tells me that's not
496
00:18:28,089 --> 00:18:29,958
the only problem we're facing.
497
00:18:30,058 --> 00:18:32,160
I'm back with Tammy
at Democracy Fund--
498
00:18:32,260 --> 00:18:34,696
Tammy, we got to talk.
499
00:18:34,829 --> 00:18:38,433
--to find out what
else could go wrong.
500
00:18:38,533 --> 00:18:40,535
So last time, we
discussed pre-election.
501
00:18:40,635 --> 00:18:42,470
What about election day itself?
502
00:18:42,570 --> 00:18:43,605
What are we looking at?
503
00:18:43,705 --> 00:18:45,907
We don't have
enough poll workers.
504
00:18:46,007 --> 00:18:46,975
What?
505
00:18:47,075 --> 00:18:48,843
So part of the challenge
with poll workers
506
00:18:48,910 --> 00:18:50,478
is that we need
hundreds of thousands
507
00:18:50,578 --> 00:18:52,013
of them every election.
508
00:18:52,113 --> 00:18:54,515
And in this moment, we have a
lot of people that are saying
509
00:18:54,616 --> 00:18:55,650
they don't want to come back.
510
00:18:55,750 --> 00:18:58,853
Some of our former poll
workers are aging out.
511
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,156
We don't have as many
young people stepping in.
512
00:19:02,256 --> 00:19:05,593
And part of that is
because of the incivility
513
00:19:05,693 --> 00:19:07,595
that we have around
elections right now.
514
00:19:07,695 --> 00:19:10,265
People are being threatened,
and they're not really
515
00:19:10,365 --> 00:19:13,868
wanting to serve in a role
where they subject themselves
516
00:19:13,935 --> 00:19:17,338
to the onslaught of
ridicule, sometimes
517
00:19:17,438 --> 00:19:19,507
from their fellow
community members.
518
00:19:19,607 --> 00:19:21,175
Yeah, if they wanted to
do that, they would
519
00:19:21,276 --> 00:19:23,011
become comedians.
520
00:19:23,111 --> 00:19:24,112
Just kidding.
521
00:19:24,212 --> 00:19:25,146
But Tammy's right.
522
00:19:25,246 --> 00:19:26,914
It's becoming harder
and harder to find
523
00:19:27,015 --> 00:19:28,416
Americans to be poll workers.
524
00:19:28,516 --> 00:19:30,018
JANE SLUSSER: We have
a poll-worker shortage
525
00:19:30,118 --> 00:19:31,019
in this country.
526
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,287
There's a
poll-worker shortage--
527
00:19:32,387 --> 00:19:34,555
Because of the constant
barrage of harassment
528
00:19:34,656 --> 00:19:36,624
at our office, a lot of
us across the state are
529
00:19:36,724 --> 00:19:37,825
worried about how
it will affect
530
00:19:37,925 --> 00:19:39,527
even poll-worker recruitment.
531
00:19:39,627 --> 00:19:40,828
DESI LYDIC: And under
these conditions,
532
00:19:40,929 --> 00:19:43,064
why would anybody want
to work the polls?
533
00:19:43,164 --> 00:19:46,935
In elections, it tends to
really be all about the food.
534
00:19:47,035 --> 00:19:50,305
So if you talk to poll workers,
the election day potluck--
535
00:19:50,405 --> 00:19:51,306
There's a potluck?
536
00:19:51,406 --> 00:19:54,742
You will not believe
their enthusiasm
537
00:19:54,842 --> 00:19:57,478
around the topic, who
should bring what,
538
00:19:57,578 --> 00:19:58,846
who doesn't bring enough.
539
00:19:58,880 --> 00:19:59,847
I love a potluck.
540
00:19:59,881 --> 00:20:01,316
I love a potluck.
541
00:20:01,416 --> 00:20:04,018
I needed to find out
more about this potluck--
542
00:20:04,118 --> 00:20:05,520
uh-- poll worker problem.
543
00:20:05,620 --> 00:20:08,156
So I'm in Maryland, one of
the many states with low poll
544
00:20:08,256 --> 00:20:09,857
worker numbers, to
talk with election
545
00:20:09,924 --> 00:20:12,126
director Tracy Dickerson.
546
00:20:12,226 --> 00:20:14,662
Can you explain to me
what a poll worker does?
547
00:20:14,762 --> 00:20:16,864
A poll worker is our
first line of defense.
548
00:20:16,898 --> 00:20:18,967
Without them, we
cannot run an election.
549
00:20:19,067 --> 00:20:20,168
They check in voters.
550
00:20:20,268 --> 00:20:21,302
They issue ballots.
551
00:20:21,402 --> 00:20:24,872
And they also
maintain the integrity
552
00:20:24,906 --> 00:20:26,007
part of the election.
553
00:20:26,107 --> 00:20:27,542
Do you ever, just for
fun, try to get people
554
00:20:27,642 --> 00:20:29,210
to vote one way or the other?
555
00:20:29,310 --> 00:20:30,912
No, we don't do that in here.
556
00:20:31,012 --> 00:20:33,481
We're election officials,
and we're 100% nonpartisan.
557
00:20:33,581 --> 00:20:34,482
Right.
558
00:20:34,582 --> 00:20:35,483
Nonpartisan.
559
00:20:35,583 --> 00:20:37,819
Completely nonpartisan.
560
00:20:37,919 --> 00:20:38,886
TRACY DICKERSON:
Absolutely not.
561
00:20:38,987 --> 00:20:40,388
We take it serious.
562
00:20:40,488 --> 00:20:43,024
It's serious.
563
00:20:43,124 --> 00:20:45,393
We-- we don't joke
about that in here.
564
00:20:45,493 --> 00:20:46,928
No, no, no, I wouldn't--
565
00:20:47,028 --> 00:20:48,830
I wouldn't joke.
566
00:20:48,896 --> 00:20:50,164
Stop winking.
567
00:20:50,265 --> 00:20:51,366
OK.
568
00:20:51,466 --> 00:20:53,167
Why are we experiencing
poll-worker shortages
569
00:20:53,268 --> 00:20:54,168
right now?
570
00:20:54,269 --> 00:20:56,704
It-- it's hard to say.
571
00:20:56,838 --> 00:21:00,541
The atmosphere in elections
has drastically changed.
572
00:21:00,642 --> 00:21:03,011
Some poll workers
receive threats.
573
00:21:03,111 --> 00:21:06,848
Or when people come in to vote,
they get stuff thrown at them.
574
00:21:06,914 --> 00:21:08,850
I don't know if
that is an issue.
575
00:21:08,950 --> 00:21:12,253
But they're in dire need.
576
00:21:12,353 --> 00:21:14,555
And I believe they're in
dire need across the country.
577
00:21:14,656 --> 00:21:17,859
Have you tried offering
some perks, stock options,
578
00:21:17,959 --> 00:21:19,961
401(k), that sort of thing?
579
00:21:20,061 --> 00:21:22,297
Unfortunately,
poll workers are
580
00:21:22,397 --> 00:21:25,066
only, more or less, volunteer.
581
00:21:25,166 --> 00:21:27,869
So people basically do
it for their community,
582
00:21:27,969 --> 00:21:30,338
because their job is so
important, and you cannot
583
00:21:30,438 --> 00:21:32,006
run an election without them.
584
00:21:32,106 --> 00:21:33,341
Gosh.
585
00:21:33,441 --> 00:21:36,511
So would you say this is a
thankless job or an incredibly
586
00:21:36,611 --> 00:21:38,813
thankless job?
587
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,083
Yeah, it's a thankless job,
because nobody thinks about it
588
00:21:42,183 --> 00:21:43,384
until it's an election year.
589
00:21:43,484 --> 00:21:46,821
And they just assume that
the polling places show up,
590
00:21:46,921 --> 00:21:48,156
and that they're just there.
591
00:21:48,256 --> 00:21:51,826
Someone should come along
and just say, thank you.
592
00:21:51,926 --> 00:21:53,494
Just say, thank you.
593
00:21:53,595 --> 00:21:54,929
And someone will.
594
00:21:55,029 --> 00:21:56,531
Because you deserve it.
595
00:21:56,631 --> 00:21:58,566
I appreciate that.
596
00:21:58,666 --> 00:21:59,567
Thank you.
597
00:21:59,667 --> 00:22:01,970
You're welcome.
598
00:22:02,070 --> 00:22:05,206
I heard that there's a potluck
happening, where people
599
00:22:05,306 --> 00:22:06,841
bring a lot of delicious food?
600
00:22:06,908 --> 00:22:08,409
Is that-- is that true?
601
00:22:08,509 --> 00:22:09,410
Absolutely.
602
00:22:09,510 --> 00:22:11,212
They actually set
up full-fledged
603
00:22:11,312 --> 00:22:12,413
banquet-type meals.
604
00:22:12,513 --> 00:22:13,915
Is that free to the public?
605
00:22:14,015 --> 00:22:16,417
No, it's basically--
it's for the poll workers.
606
00:22:16,517 --> 00:22:17,418
Right.
607
00:22:17,518 --> 00:22:19,854
And how do I become
a poll worker?
608
00:22:19,921 --> 00:22:21,522
You could sign up
and take training.
609
00:22:21,623 --> 00:22:22,991
Oh, damn it.
610
00:22:23,091 --> 00:22:24,125
OK.
611
00:22:24,225 --> 00:22:26,261
I decided to give
poll-worker training a try
612
00:22:26,361 --> 00:22:27,629
and was learning a lot.
613
00:22:27,795 --> 00:22:29,564
But when it came to
the most important
614
00:22:29,664 --> 00:22:30,598
part of poll-working--
615
00:22:30,698 --> 00:22:33,034
I heard there was a
potluck situation.
616
00:22:33,134 --> 00:22:34,168
When does that start up?
617
00:22:34,269 --> 00:22:35,637
Does that start now?
618
00:22:35,803 --> 00:22:39,707
Potluck could happen on
Monday night or election day.
619
00:22:39,807 --> 00:22:41,509
So that's not
happening today.
620
00:22:41,609 --> 00:22:42,677
Not today.
621
00:22:42,810 --> 00:22:44,646
DESI LYDIC: OK, so if
potlucks aren't going
622
00:22:44,812 --> 00:22:46,948
to save democracy, what is?
623
00:22:47,048 --> 00:22:48,116
My name is Joe Plenzler.
624
00:22:48,216 --> 00:22:49,851
I'm a veteran, and
I'm also a board
625
00:22:49,951 --> 00:22:50,985
member with Vet The Vote.
626
00:22:51,085 --> 00:22:52,287
What is Vet The Vote?
627
00:22:52,387 --> 00:22:55,223
So Vet The Vote is a
nationwide public awareness
628
00:22:55,323 --> 00:22:57,625
campaign to recruit
100,000 election
629
00:22:57,725 --> 00:22:59,227
poll workers this year.
630
00:22:59,327 --> 00:23:01,162
What have you learned
from being a poll worker?
631
00:23:01,262 --> 00:23:04,198
If anyone doubts, like,
how polling stations are run
632
00:23:04,299 --> 00:23:05,833
or the outcomes of
elections, I'm like,
633
00:23:05,900 --> 00:23:07,368
come in and see the process.
634
00:23:07,468 --> 00:23:08,903
You'll see the
two-party integrity
635
00:23:09,003 --> 00:23:10,004
around every voting machine.
636
00:23:10,104 --> 00:23:11,439
I mean, if you come
in the door a skeptic,
637
00:23:11,539 --> 00:23:12,941
you're going to leave
a believer, guaranteed.
638
00:23:13,041 --> 00:23:15,209
And coming from the
military, being a poll worker
639
00:23:15,310 --> 00:23:16,244
is kind of like the same thing.
640
00:23:16,344 --> 00:23:18,413
I mean, you're helping
your community,
641
00:23:18,513 --> 00:23:21,316
not at the level of politics,
but at the level of civics,
642
00:23:21,416 --> 00:23:23,251
to make some democracy.
643
00:23:23,351 --> 00:23:24,485
I'm convinced.
644
00:23:24,585 --> 00:23:26,487
I wasn't actually
convinced, but I'm
645
00:23:26,587 --> 00:23:30,358
a sucker for a power vest, so I
decided to finish my training.
646
00:23:30,458 --> 00:23:31,392
This is pretty high-tech.
647
00:23:31,492 --> 00:23:33,528
This is some hacker
stuff right here.
648
00:23:33,628 --> 00:23:34,862
We don't say
that around here.
649
00:23:34,963 --> 00:23:35,930
Sorry.
650
00:23:36,030 --> 00:23:37,398
WADE BESWICK: So this
is a zero report,
651
00:23:37,498 --> 00:23:40,435
and this shows to the public
that this machine has arrived
652
00:23:40,535 --> 00:23:41,636
at the polling
place in the state,
653
00:23:41,803 --> 00:23:43,705
that it left this building
with zero votes on it.
654
00:23:43,805 --> 00:23:47,976
So this much paper is
required to show zero votes.
655
00:23:48,076 --> 00:23:50,078
Correct.
656
00:23:50,178 --> 00:23:51,813
I know why there's
a paper shortage.
657
00:23:51,846 --> 00:23:54,015
I may not have been able to
fix our broken voting system--
658
00:23:54,115 --> 00:23:55,016
Just like this?
659
00:23:55,116 --> 00:23:56,217
WADE BESWICK: Just like that.
660
00:23:56,317 --> 00:23:58,886
[machine beeping]
661
00:23:58,987 --> 00:24:00,288
I broke it.
662
00:24:00,388 --> 00:24:02,991
But I will say that if voting
goes smoothly in your county,
663
00:24:03,091 --> 00:24:05,326
you have a poll
worker to thank.
664
00:24:05,426 --> 00:24:06,728
[audience applause]
665
00:24:06,828 --> 00:24:07,895
Thank you so much
for that, Desi!
666
00:24:07,996 --> 00:24:09,063
All right, stay tuned.
667
00:24:09,163 --> 00:24:10,531
Because when we come
back, international comedy
668
00:24:10,632 --> 00:24:13,201
superstar Gabriel Iglesias will
be joining me on the stage.
669
00:24:13,301 --> 00:24:15,003
You don't want to miss this.
670
00:24:15,103 --> 00:24:18,139
[cheering, applause]
671
00:24:25,446 --> 00:24:31,586
[cheering]
672
00:24:31,686 --> 00:24:33,020
Welcome back to
The Daily Show.
673
00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:36,757
My guest tonight is the
first comedian to perform
674
00:24:36,858 --> 00:24:39,660
and sell out Dodger Stadium.
675
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,863
He's here to talk
about his new standup
676
00:24:41,963 --> 00:24:43,998
special, "Stadium
Fluffy," which
677
00:24:44,098 --> 00:24:45,867
is streaming now on Netflix.
678
00:24:45,967 --> 00:24:48,202
I'm not a comedian
who's divisive.
679
00:24:48,302 --> 00:24:52,273
That's why I don't talk about
politics, religion, or
680
00:24:52,373 --> 00:24:55,009
sports, OK?
681
00:24:55,109 --> 00:24:58,045
Because all three
will divide people.
682
00:24:58,145 --> 00:25:01,282
That's why I talk about food.
683
00:25:01,382 --> 00:25:04,619
Because food brings
people together.
684
00:25:04,719 --> 00:25:09,557
[cheering]
685
00:25:09,657 --> 00:25:13,294
That's right, unless
you're vegan, in which case
686
00:25:13,394 --> 00:25:14,295
you can leave right now.
687
00:25:14,395 --> 00:25:15,296
I don't give a shit.
688
00:25:15,396 --> 00:25:16,697
I really don't.
689
00:25:16,797 --> 00:25:18,232
Please, welcome
Gabriel Iglesias!
690
00:25:18,332 --> 00:25:21,169
[cheering]
691
00:25:21,269 --> 00:25:28,276
[music playing]
692
00:25:36,417 --> 00:25:37,785
Woo.
693
00:25:37,885 --> 00:25:40,855
Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias.
694
00:25:40,955 --> 00:25:41,923
What's up?
695
00:25:42,056 --> 00:25:45,059
[cheering]
696
00:25:45,126 --> 00:25:46,427
- Welcome to The Daily Show.
- Thank you.
697
00:25:46,527 --> 00:25:47,428
This is awesome.
698
00:25:47,528 --> 00:25:48,529
This is ridiculous, right?
699
00:25:48,629 --> 00:25:49,964
Yeah, it only
took seven years.
700
00:25:50,064 --> 00:25:51,065
[laughs]
701
00:25:51,132 --> 00:25:53,234
No, no, no, don't
even try that with me.
702
00:25:53,334 --> 00:25:54,468
Don't even try that with me.
703
00:25:54,569 --> 00:25:56,204
I invited you from the
moment I got this job.
704
00:25:56,304 --> 00:25:58,072
I was like, yo, Fluffy, you
going to come on the show.
705
00:25:58,105 --> 00:26:00,842
You are maybe the
busiest person in comedy
706
00:26:00,942 --> 00:26:02,877
that I know of because
you're always on the road.
707
00:26:02,977 --> 00:26:05,079
You're doing massive
shows, and now
708
00:26:05,146 --> 00:26:06,080
massive is an understatement.
709
00:26:06,147 --> 00:26:07,415
Let's start with that.
710
00:26:07,515 --> 00:26:09,317
Congratulations, first of all,
not just selling out Dodger
711
00:26:09,417 --> 00:26:11,619
Stadium, selling it out twice.
712
00:26:11,719 --> 00:26:17,859
[cheering]
713
00:26:17,959 --> 00:26:19,560
Like, what does
that even feel like?
714
00:26:19,660 --> 00:26:20,795
Man, as far as--
715
00:26:20,895 --> 00:26:21,963
I mean, it's surreal.
716
00:26:22,096 --> 00:26:23,197
It's very surreal.
717
00:26:23,297 --> 00:26:24,799
It's like-- it's the biggest
thing I've ever done,
718
00:26:24,899 --> 00:26:26,200
and I did it at home, you know?
719
00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:28,169
It was just-- it was the
greatest night of my life,
720
00:26:28,269 --> 00:26:29,704
and it was documented.
TREVOR NOAH: That's beautiful.
721
00:26:29,804 --> 00:26:30,938
Yeah.
722
00:26:31,038 --> 00:26:32,139
TREVOR NOAH: That is-- when
you're performing, like,
723
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:33,307
I would love to know because--
724
00:26:33,407 --> 00:26:35,309
for those who don't
know-- so Gabriel Iglesias
725
00:26:35,409 --> 00:26:36,944
is one of my favorite
people in the world,
726
00:26:37,044 --> 00:26:38,746
like, not just as a
comedian, but as a human.
727
00:26:38,846 --> 00:26:40,648
When I first came
to the US, right,
728
00:26:40,748 --> 00:26:41,782
he came to one of my shows.
729
00:26:41,883 --> 00:26:43,050
No one knew who I was.
730
00:26:43,117 --> 00:26:45,586
Came to one of my shows,
waited till everybody left.
731
00:26:45,686 --> 00:26:47,788
I was like, oh, this
guy's like a creep.
732
00:26:47,889 --> 00:26:51,959
[laughter]
733
00:26:52,059 --> 00:26:53,227
Everyone was gone.
734
00:26:53,327 --> 00:26:54,795
And then he came up to me
from the back of the room.
735
00:26:54,896 --> 00:26:56,063
And he's like, hey, Trevor.
736
00:26:56,164 --> 00:26:57,165
And I was like, yeah?
737
00:26:57,265 --> 00:26:59,233
And he's like, my name
is Gabriel Iglesias.
738
00:26:59,333 --> 00:27:01,369
You don't know who I am,
but I'm a comedian out here.
739
00:27:01,469 --> 00:27:02,870
And I think you're very funny.
740
00:27:02,970 --> 00:27:04,572
And I'd love for you to
come on the road with me.
741
00:27:04,672 --> 00:27:05,706
I know you're big
in South Africa,
742
00:27:05,806 --> 00:27:06,974
but no one knows you here.
743
00:27:07,074 --> 00:27:08,809
So I don't want to offend you.
744
00:27:08,910 --> 00:27:10,545
And you took me out
on the road with you,
745
00:27:10,645 --> 00:27:13,247
and truly, that may
be some of like-- some
746
00:27:13,347 --> 00:27:15,683
of my favorite memories
I've ever had in life.
747
00:27:15,783 --> 00:27:17,819
You took me to El Paso, Texas.
748
00:27:17,919 --> 00:27:20,755
You took me to
Erie, Pennsylvania.
749
00:27:20,855 --> 00:27:22,590
You took me to--
750
00:27:22,690 --> 00:27:25,293
and so, like, what
I'd love to know
751
00:27:25,393 --> 00:27:26,694
is how it feels to perform.
752
00:27:26,794 --> 00:27:29,530
Because what I love about your
journey is there is no club
753
00:27:29,630 --> 00:27:30,598
you haven't been in.
754
00:27:30,698 --> 00:27:32,033
There's no theater
you haven't performed
755
00:27:32,133 --> 00:27:33,134
in all over the world.
756
00:27:33,234 --> 00:27:34,869
And now it's stadiums.
757
00:27:35,036 --> 00:27:36,938
Like, what's different about
a stadium that you love?
758
00:27:37,038 --> 00:27:38,272
And then what is the
thing that you miss
759
00:27:38,372 --> 00:27:40,374
about a tiny, little club?
760
00:27:40,474 --> 00:27:41,676
What's awesome
about a stadium is,
761
00:27:41,776 --> 00:27:43,211
first of all, just saying
you're at a stadium.
762
00:27:43,311 --> 00:27:45,046
Because now you're
like, oh, look,
763
00:27:45,079 --> 00:27:46,747
it's like a Mexican Tay-Tay
you know what I mean?
764
00:27:46,848 --> 00:27:49,817
[laughter]
765
00:27:49,917 --> 00:27:51,919
He's doing Stadium and
then, of course, clubs,
766
00:27:52,053 --> 00:27:52,920
it's very intimate.
767
00:27:53,054 --> 00:27:53,955
It's instant, you know?
768
00:27:54,055 --> 00:27:55,056
It's right there.
769
00:27:55,089 --> 00:27:56,157
It's very, very nice.
770
00:27:56,257 --> 00:27:58,059
And so there's, of course,
pros and cons to both.
771
00:27:58,159 --> 00:27:59,360
Right.
772
00:27:59,460 --> 00:28:01,562
But, I mean, I don't know
where it's going to go now.
773
00:28:01,662 --> 00:28:03,664
But I feel like it's only--
774
00:28:03,764 --> 00:28:04,899
it's not even going up.
775
00:28:05,066 --> 00:28:07,602
You've been consistently
successful every single year
776
00:28:07,702 --> 00:28:08,936
around the world.
777
00:28:09,070 --> 00:28:10,905
As I started going
to other countries,
778
00:28:11,072 --> 00:28:12,673
people would tell me
they came to my shows
779
00:28:12,773 --> 00:28:15,076
because they saw us
together doing something.
780
00:28:15,109 --> 00:28:17,912
You've traveled to
multiple countries way
781
00:28:18,079 --> 00:28:20,781
before other American
comedians even have.
782
00:28:20,882 --> 00:28:23,584
Like, what do you think
is part of your success?
783
00:28:23,684 --> 00:28:25,353
Why do people love
Fluffy so much?
784
00:28:25,453 --> 00:28:27,221
Even that name, like,
that nickname, Fluffy,
785
00:28:27,321 --> 00:28:31,025
has become synonymous with--
it's become a joyous nickname.
786
00:28:31,125 --> 00:28:32,627
I think it's just one
of those, you know what?
787
00:28:32,727 --> 00:28:33,628
I'm?
A fish out of water.
788
00:28:33,728 --> 00:28:34,629
I share stories.
789
00:28:34,729 --> 00:28:36,164
I try not to get
in people's faces.
790
00:28:36,264 --> 00:28:37,198
It's always a good time.
791
00:28:37,298 --> 00:28:38,499
I'm not trying
to preach to you.
792
00:28:38,599 --> 00:28:40,034
I'm not trying to tell
you what shot to take.
793
00:28:40,101 --> 00:28:41,435
I'm not trying to tell
you who to vote for.
794
00:28:41,536 --> 00:28:42,870
I'm not trying to tell
you how to live your life.
795
00:28:43,037 --> 00:28:43,871
I'm just sharing stories.
796
00:28:44,038 --> 00:28:45,273
And people can relate to that.
797
00:28:45,373 --> 00:28:47,542
TREVOR NOAH: You have one of
the most diverse audiences
798
00:28:47,642 --> 00:28:48,543
I've ever come across.
799
00:28:48,643 --> 00:28:49,911
You bring people together.
800
00:28:50,044 --> 00:28:52,380
You've always enjoyed sharing
your heritage. you know?
801
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:53,648
You'll do jokes.
802
00:28:53,748 --> 00:28:54,816
Some of them will
be in Spanish,
803
00:28:54,916 --> 00:28:55,950
but then you'll
play with English.
804
00:28:56,050 --> 00:28:57,151
You'll mess around
in the audience.
805
00:28:57,251 --> 00:28:58,820
That's what I loved about
being on tour with you.
806
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,588
When you look at the
rest of the world now,
807
00:29:00,688 --> 00:29:01,889
do you still have
places you dream
808
00:29:02,056 --> 00:29:04,826
of going to and performing
in, or have you done it all?
809
00:29:04,926 --> 00:29:06,294
I want to go to South Africa.
810
00:29:06,394 --> 00:29:08,396
[cheering]
811
00:29:08,496 --> 00:29:09,397
TREVOR NOAH: I'll take you.
812
00:29:09,497 --> 00:29:10,398
And that's why
I'm talking to you.
813
00:29:10,498 --> 00:29:11,599
TREVOR NOAH: This
guy, I'll take you.
814
00:29:11,699 --> 00:29:12,867
That's why I'm
telling the man.
815
00:29:12,967 --> 00:29:14,535
I thought you were going
to something difficult.
816
00:29:14,635 --> 00:29:15,903
No, I've pretty
much been everywhere.
817
00:29:16,070 --> 00:29:17,171
But South Africa has
always been that one--
818
00:29:17,271 --> 00:29:18,172
Well, you've never
been South Africa?
819
00:29:18,272 --> 00:29:19,173
I've never been
to South Africa.
820
00:29:19,273 --> 00:29:20,274
Oh, Fluffy,
we're going to take
821
00:29:20,374 --> 00:29:21,275
you to South Africa, Fluffito.
822
00:29:21,375 --> 00:29:22,543
Fluffito, hey.
823
00:29:22,643 --> 00:29:24,278
My man, Fluffy,
you play games.
824
00:29:24,378 --> 00:29:26,047
You play games.
- I've never been.
825
00:29:26,147 --> 00:29:27,248
I would love to go.
826
00:29:27,348 --> 00:29:28,816
And I think you're the
perfect person to take me.
827
00:29:28,916 --> 00:29:29,917
TREVOR NOAH: I'll take you.
- Just saying.
828
00:29:30,017 --> 00:29:31,786
Let's go.
[cheering]
829
00:29:31,886 --> 00:29:33,654
The other things you're
doing in the world,
830
00:29:33,754 --> 00:29:36,390
I feel like I hear your voice
in everything from Space
831
00:29:36,491 --> 00:29:40,161
Jam to Paw Patrol to-- like, I
hear your voice-- you do a lot
832
00:29:40,261 --> 00:29:41,195
of voice work, don't you?
833
00:29:41,295 --> 00:29:42,196
A lot of voiceover
work, yeah.
834
00:29:42,296 --> 00:29:43,197
Yeah.
835
00:29:43,297 --> 00:29:44,198
COVID, man, I had
to do something.
836
00:29:44,298 --> 00:29:45,533
[laughter]
837
00:29:45,633 --> 00:29:46,901
Because you can do
every voice as well.
838
00:29:47,034 --> 00:29:48,102
Yeah, I did a lot of--
839
00:29:48,202 --> 00:29:50,738
I did, like, three movies
from home during 2020.
840
00:29:50,838 --> 00:29:52,473
- Like, you watched them?
- No, I did three mo--
841
00:29:52,573 --> 00:29:53,875
- Oh, OK.
- I did three--
842
00:29:54,041 --> 00:29:55,710
I was like, Fluffy, I did,
like, 20 movies from home.
843
00:29:55,810 --> 00:29:57,345
What do you mean?
[laughter]
844
00:29:57,445 --> 00:29:58,479
I recorded voice--
845
00:29:58,579 --> 00:30:00,381
I did voiceover three
films while I was home.
846
00:30:00,481 --> 00:30:01,382
Right.
847
00:30:01,482 --> 00:30:02,783
And you got to be careful.
848
00:30:02,884 --> 00:30:04,519
You got to be specific because
if you say you work from home
849
00:30:04,619 --> 00:30:06,654
doing videos, they think
you have an OnlyFans
850
00:30:06,754 --> 00:30:08,055
or something, right?
TREVOR NOAH: [laughs]
851
00:30:08,156 --> 00:30:09,056
Don't get me wrong.
852
00:30:09,157 --> 00:30:10,258
I could get paid
doing that too.
853
00:30:10,358 --> 00:30:11,792
[laughter]
854
00:30:11,893 --> 00:30:12,793
Yeah.
855
00:30:12,894 --> 00:30:18,966
[cheering]
856
00:30:19,066 --> 00:30:19,967
Oh, man.
857
00:30:20,067 --> 00:30:20,968
Yeah.
858
00:30:21,068 --> 00:30:22,069
Oh, OK, so you
got the movies.
859
00:30:22,136 --> 00:30:23,171
Wait.
860
00:30:23,271 --> 00:30:24,839
I heard that you're also
working on a new show
861
00:30:25,006 --> 00:30:25,840
now, right?
862
00:30:26,007 --> 00:30:27,008
Are you doing something else?
863
00:30:27,041 --> 00:30:28,776
Doing something for
Netflix, yes, a new film
864
00:30:28,876 --> 00:30:29,777
called I, Chihuahua.
865
00:30:29,877 --> 00:30:30,811
It's a story that--
866
00:30:30,912 --> 00:30:31,813
you know--
867
00:30:31,913 --> 00:30:33,548
[laughter]
868
00:30:33,648 --> 00:30:35,016
Well, you've got to
give context as well.
869
00:30:35,082 --> 00:30:36,417
You've got-- I
mean, you've always
870
00:30:36,517 --> 00:30:37,885
been a lover of chihuahuas.
871
00:30:38,019 --> 00:30:39,687
Yes, I have a couple of them.
872
00:30:39,787 --> 00:30:42,089
I didn't bring them because,
you know, yeah, freaking--
873
00:30:42,190 --> 00:30:43,191
TREVOR NOAH: Mm-hmm.
874
00:30:43,291 --> 00:30:45,193
But, no, yeah, this
is this thing, that's
875
00:30:45,293 --> 00:30:49,363
project I'm working on with the
producer and writer of a film
876
00:30:49,463 --> 00:30:51,666
called Book of Life
and Maya and the Three.
877
00:30:51,766 --> 00:30:54,168
We got together, George,
and we just we started
878
00:30:54,268 --> 00:30:55,369
coming up with this idea.
879
00:30:55,469 --> 00:30:57,205
And, yeah, it's
coming out next year,
880
00:30:57,305 --> 00:30:58,539
hopefully, fingers crossed.
881
00:30:58,639 --> 00:31:01,676
[cheering]
882
00:31:01,776 --> 00:31:02,810
I'm just so happy.
883
00:31:02,910 --> 00:31:04,579
Netflix says yes, but
sometimes they say no.
884
00:31:04,679 --> 00:31:06,214
But most of the time they
say yes, which is cool.
885
00:31:06,314 --> 00:31:07,715
I feel like everyone
should say yes to you.
886
00:31:07,815 --> 00:31:09,851
You're one of the
nicest, most wonderful
887
00:31:09,951 --> 00:31:12,286
human beings who I've had
the pleasure of meeting.
888
00:31:12,386 --> 00:31:14,622
You're always
kind to comedians.
889
00:31:14,722 --> 00:31:15,690
When they're on
the road, you'll
890
00:31:15,790 --> 00:31:17,258
bring out comics
who are struggling,
891
00:31:17,358 --> 00:31:18,426
and then you'll
give them a leg up.
892
00:31:18,526 --> 00:31:19,861
Audiences will
get to know them.
893
00:31:19,961 --> 00:31:24,298
I would love to know, who's the
comedian who shaped your life?
894
00:31:24,398 --> 00:31:26,367
Or not even the comedian, who's
the person who, like, whenever
895
00:31:26,467 --> 00:31:29,203
you look back and go, man,
if it wasn't for them,
896
00:31:29,303 --> 00:31:31,606
this journey
wouldn't be the same?
897
00:31:31,706 --> 00:31:32,773
That's my mom.
898
00:31:32,874 --> 00:31:33,774
That's my mom.
899
00:31:33,875 --> 00:31:35,009
[applause]
900
00:31:35,042 --> 00:31:39,747
Yeah.
901
00:31:39,847 --> 00:31:41,749
She was the one who would
always say, help others.
902
00:31:41,849 --> 00:31:42,917
But at the same
time, she's like,
903
00:31:43,017 --> 00:31:44,685
but that's too much help.
904
00:31:44,785 --> 00:31:45,920
Too much.
Let them go.
905
00:31:46,020 --> 00:31:46,921
Let them go.
906
00:31:47,021 --> 00:31:48,589
[speaking spanish]
907
00:31:48,689 --> 00:31:51,192
[laughter]
908
00:31:51,292 --> 00:31:53,427
I mean, early on, it was one
of those things where I just
909
00:31:53,528 --> 00:31:54,595
started going on the road.
910
00:31:54,695 --> 00:31:56,330
And no one told me
to be nice to people.
911
00:31:56,430 --> 00:31:58,032
No one said, hey, help
this guy out or take
912
00:31:58,099 --> 00:31:59,233
this person on the road.
913
00:31:59,333 --> 00:32:00,902
It was just like, you know,
when I came up to you,
914
00:32:01,035 --> 00:32:02,036
I knew you were hysterical.
915
00:32:02,103 --> 00:32:03,437
And you seemed really
cool when I met you.
916
00:32:03,538 --> 00:32:05,039
So I said, hey, come on.
You like Taco Bell?
917
00:32:05,072 --> 00:32:06,274
Because you're going
to eat a lot of it
918
00:32:06,374 --> 00:32:07,808
if you go on the road.
919
00:32:07,909 --> 00:32:08,943
And-- [laughs]
920
00:32:09,043 --> 00:32:09,944
You think he's joking.
921
00:32:10,044 --> 00:32:11,112
So my favorite--
922
00:32:11,212 --> 00:32:12,280
[laughter]
923
00:32:12,380 --> 00:32:14,682
My favorite part of
being on tour with Fluffy
924
00:32:14,782 --> 00:32:16,784
was how we would eat.
925
00:32:16,884 --> 00:32:18,553
So-- no, because,
like, we would
926
00:32:18,653 --> 00:32:19,554
eat at a different place.
927
00:32:19,654 --> 00:32:21,255
Remember, I hadn't
eaten at most
928
00:32:21,355 --> 00:32:22,657
takeout places in America.
929
00:32:22,757 --> 00:32:24,792
And so we'd stop in all
of these random cities.
930
00:32:24,892 --> 00:32:26,427
And then every night,
Fluffy would look at me,
931
00:32:26,527 --> 00:32:29,197
and he'd-- like, there was
this joke that I was telling.
932
00:32:29,297 --> 00:32:32,333
Like, one of the jokes had
the word "namin" in it.
933
00:32:32,433 --> 00:32:33,434
So then he'd be
like, hey, Namin.
934
00:32:33,534 --> 00:32:34,502
That's what he'd
call me, right?
935
00:32:34,602 --> 00:32:35,603
So it was like,
Fluffito, Namin.
936
00:32:35,703 --> 00:32:36,604
So we'd go there.
937
00:32:36,704 --> 00:32:37,672
And be like, Namin.
938
00:32:37,772 --> 00:32:39,273
He'd be like, you
want to get Taco Bell?
939
00:32:39,373 --> 00:32:40,474
Then I was like,
what's Taco Bell?
940
00:32:40,575 --> 00:32:43,444
And they'd be like, you
never had Taco Bell?
941
00:32:43,544 --> 00:32:45,413
And we went to Taco Bell.
942
00:32:45,513 --> 00:32:47,014
It was a group
of us, but still,
943
00:32:47,114 --> 00:32:52,653
we bought $100 worth
of Taco Bell, which,
944
00:32:52,753 --> 00:32:58,025
for those who like-- it was
bags and bags of-- and, like,
945
00:32:58,125 --> 00:33:00,695
I mean, I walked out of Tac--
946
00:33:00,795 --> 00:33:03,097
I felt like that scene, Julia
Roberts in Pretty Woman.
947
00:33:03,197 --> 00:33:05,032
[laughter]
948
00:33:05,066 --> 00:33:08,169
I've never had that much food.
949
00:33:08,269 --> 00:33:10,071
And I remember, like, I
walked back to the tour bus.
950
00:33:10,171 --> 00:33:11,506
And I looked at you,
and you looked at me.
951
00:33:11,606 --> 00:33:12,507
And I just had the bags.
952
00:33:12,607 --> 00:33:16,043
[laughter]
953
00:33:16,143 --> 00:33:17,044
Man--
954
00:33:17,144 --> 00:33:18,212
You never lived like this.
955
00:33:18,312 --> 00:33:19,447
I've never lived like this.
956
00:33:19,547 --> 00:33:20,548
I've never lived like this.
957
00:33:20,648 --> 00:33:22,416
It's been an absolute
pleasure having you.
958
00:33:22,517 --> 00:33:24,485
I'm glad I could have
on because, genuinely,
959
00:33:24,585 --> 00:33:25,820
you've been-- you're so busy.
960
00:33:25,987 --> 00:33:27,989
You basically came in just
for this, which I appreciate.
961
00:33:28,055 --> 00:33:29,056
You know?
962
00:33:29,157 --> 00:33:30,691
This is-- no, genuinely,
this guy has-- like,
963
00:33:30,791 --> 00:33:31,792
he changed my life.
964
00:33:31,893 --> 00:33:33,094
He's one of my favorite
people in the world.
965
00:33:33,194 --> 00:33:34,195
Thank you so much
for being here.
966
00:33:34,295 --> 00:33:35,496
Thank you for being
in my life, Fluffy.
967
00:33:35,596 --> 00:33:36,531
[cheering]
968
00:33:36,631 --> 00:33:37,532
Great seeing you, my man.
969
00:33:37,632 --> 00:33:39,433
I'll see you on the road now.
970
00:33:39,534 --> 00:33:41,068
- South Africa.
- I'll see you on the road.
971
00:33:41,169 --> 00:33:42,103
South Africa.
- South Africa.
972
00:33:42,203 --> 00:33:43,704
You said it on camera,
so it's happening.
973
00:33:43,804 --> 00:33:45,173
Gabriel Iglesias, everybody.
974
00:33:45,273 --> 00:33:47,008
We're going to
take a quick break.
975
00:33:47,074 --> 00:33:48,776
But we'll be right
back after this.
976
00:33:48,876 --> 00:33:52,814
[cheering]
977
00:33:55,750 --> 00:34:01,222
[cheering]
978
00:34:01,322 --> 00:34:02,423
Well, that's our
show for tonight.
979
00:34:02,524 --> 00:34:05,827
But before we go,
tomorrow is election day.
980
00:34:05,927 --> 00:34:08,696
So if you haven't already,
make your plan to vote.
981
00:34:08,797 --> 00:34:11,699
You can find your polling
location at vote.org.
982
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,802
So get on out there and
make your voice heard.
983
00:34:13,902 --> 00:34:16,004
Also, stay tuned
because Jordan Klepper
984
00:34:16,104 --> 00:34:18,373
is about to finger the
midterms in his latest special.
985
00:34:18,473 --> 00:34:20,909
Now here it is,
your Moment of Zen.
986
00:34:21,009 --> 00:34:22,377
[cheering]
987
00:34:22,477 --> 00:34:24,345
[music playing]
988
00:34:24,445 --> 00:34:26,247
Live television, gang.
989
00:34:26,347 --> 00:34:27,382
That's live TV for you.
990
00:34:27,482 --> 00:34:28,383
Excuse me.
991
00:34:28,483 --> 00:34:29,918
My kids are here.
Live television.
992
00:34:30,018 --> 00:34:31,820
We'll do it live.
[bleep] it!
993
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:32,821
They were--
994
00:34:32,921 --> 00:34:36,458
[speaking spanish]
