Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Michael Kosta. We've got
- 0:03Speaker 1: so much to talk about tonight.
- 0:05Speaker 2: The Iran war doesn't have that spark it used to.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Ivanka and Jared are buying a real fixer-upper, and we
- 0:11Speaker 2: finally figure out how many murders is too many murders
- 0:14Speaker 2: for a candidate to do.
- 0:15Speaker 1: Spoiler, it's not zero. Hey, let's get into the headlines.
- 0:25Speaker 2: It seems like every day there's more depressing news about
- 0:28Speaker 2: the economy.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Gas is $ 5 a gallon.
- 0:30Speaker 2: Raspberries are $ 8 a pint, which sucks because my backup
- 0:35Speaker 2: plan was to fill up my car with smoothie. Now,
- 0:38Speaker 2: despite all this, it's inspiring to know that even in
- 0:41Speaker 2: these tough times, there are everyday Americans out there who
- 0:45Speaker 2: are still able.
- 0:46Speaker 1: To make it work. Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner have
- 0:50Speaker 1: purchased their own island off the coast of Albania.
- 0:53Speaker 3: It's an unbelievable, beautiful 1400 hectare private island in the
- 0:57Speaker 3: middle of the Mediterranean.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Let's give it up for this couple.
- 1:04Speaker 2: I mean, oh I'm sorry, do you guys not have
- 1:07Speaker 2: hectare money? And for those of you who are thinking, hey,
- 1:12Speaker 2: before buying a private island, shouldn't billionaires maybe read the room?
- 1:16Speaker 2: What you don't understand is the island doesn't have rooms yet.
- 1:20Speaker 2: They can't lay the foundation for those rooms until they
- 1:23Speaker 2: burn down all those.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Stupid trees, okay?
- 1:26Speaker 2: And for the record, Jared and Ivanka aren't scheming real
- 1:28Speaker 2: estate moguls going around the world snatching up private islands.
- 1:32Speaker 1: This was more of an impulse buy.
- 1:33Speaker 3: We were on a friend's boat. and we stopped for
- 1:36Speaker 3: a swim. Effectively, that's how we found it. We swam
- 1:40Speaker 3: to the islands, we went on a hike barefoot all
- 1:42Speaker 3: the way up to the top, and we were just captivated.
- 1:46Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
- 1:52Speaker 1: I feel you, girl. I feel you. Been there, done that.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Except instead of the Mediterranean, I was swimming in the
- 1:59Speaker 2: Hudson River, and the island I hiked barefoot was Staten Island,
- 2:04Speaker 2: and instead of buying it, I stepped on a needle
- 2:06Speaker 2: and got HPV, but I feel you.
- 2:10Speaker 1: I feel you. I just have one follow-up question. Can
- 2:12Speaker 1: you make this sound even more out of touch?
- 2:15Speaker 3: You know, it's not even a business for me. It
- 2:17Speaker 3: feels more like a challenge than anything else. The culmination
- 2:21Speaker 3: of All of my experience in real estate, all of
- 2:25Speaker 3: my travel, a lot of reflection on how I want
- 2:28Speaker 3: to live, how I think people increasingly are wanting to
- 2:33Speaker 3: live and trying to really build something that's a tangible
- 2:40Speaker 3: manifestation of that.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Of course, a tangible manifestation of the way... Come on, lady,
- 2:49Speaker 2: you're rich and you bought an island.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Just say that.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Not everything has to be a deep spiritual journey, you know?
- 2:57Speaker 2: It's like when you look up a chicken salad recipe
- 2:59Speaker 2: and you have to scroll through nine pages of how
- 3:01Speaker 2: the cook's grandparents escaped the Balkan Wars in the back
- 3:04Speaker 2: of a donkey cart. So did Nana use paprika or mustard?
- 3:07Speaker 1: Which one is it? But of course, I'm kidding.
- 3:10Speaker 2: I love Ivanka and I fully support all of her endeavors.
- 3:13Speaker 2: This place sounds like paradise on Earth.
- 3:16Speaker 5: The planned 1,400-acre resort will also sit where abandoned bunkers
- 3:21Speaker 5: and decaying buildings now stand. But Kushner and Ivanka still
- 3:24Speaker 5: face major hurdles, including unexploded landmines and weapons that remain
- 3:29Speaker 5: on the island.
- 3:37Speaker 2: If you like piña coladas and unexploded landmines.
- 3:43Speaker 2: I mean, there's got to be an easier way to
- 3:45Speaker 2: divorce somebody. Ivanka was on that island like, Jared, smile.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Hey, a little to the left. More to the left. Hey,
- 3:51Speaker 1: hop up and down, Jared.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Let's move on from Ivanka to the man whose sperm
- 3:59Speaker 2: made her, Donald Trump.
- 4:03Speaker 1: He's had a rough week. A judge ordered his name
- 4:06Speaker 1: off the Kennedy Center. His car....
- 4:14Speaker 2: His concert fell apart, and they canceled the wet t-shirt
- 4:18Speaker 2: contest at the reflecting pool party.
- 4:22Speaker 1: He was going to win that one, too.
- 4:24Speaker 2: The only thing Trump had going for him was the $ 1. 8
- 4:27Speaker 2: billion slush fund he got from the Justice Department.
- 4:31Speaker 1: And now there's bad news with that, too.
- 4:33Speaker 6: On Monday, House Speaker Mike Johnson met with Trump to
- 4:36Speaker 6: talk about the fund amid GOP backlash. Shortly afterward, CBS
- 4:41Speaker 6: News learned the administration planned to scrap it.
- 4:45Speaker 1: What? Are you....
- 4:52Speaker 2: Are you telling me that instead of just going along
- 4:54Speaker 2: with whatever Trump says, members of Congress can actually stand
- 4:58Speaker 2: up to him? That they can provide some kind of
- 5:01Speaker 2: check and or balance?
- 5:04Speaker 1: That's great. It's not as great that he pushed us
- 5:07Speaker 1: so far that the check.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Indoor balance is not using illegal money to pay pedophiles
- 5:11Speaker 2: for storming the Capitol.
- 5:12Speaker 1: But still, good on you, Congress.
- 5:15Speaker 2: It just goes to show that if you knuckle down
- 5:17Speaker 2: and power through, you.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Can do the bare minimum at your job.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 5:24Speaker 2: And that should shut up the haters who keep saying
- 5:26Speaker 2: the only thing Congress is good at is insider trading.
- 5:29Speaker 2: So yeah, Trump's on a losing streak. But as my
- 5:32Speaker 2: penis doctor always says, it's never too late to turn
- 5:35Speaker 2: things around. Trump could still make a deal with Iran.
- 5:44Speaker 2: And he keeps saying they're close. So really, it could
- 5:46Speaker 2: be any day now.
- 5:47Speaker 4: 95 days into this war and with talks on the
- 5:50Speaker 4: brink of collapse, complicating the deal, Israel's incursion into Lebanon,
- 5:55Speaker 4: advancing deeper in the region to fight Iranian-backed Hezbollah. Iran
- 5:59Speaker 4: threatening to call the talks with the U.S. entirely off.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Iran is stopping a peace deal with us because Israel
- 6:06Speaker 2: is bombing Lebanon?
- 6:08Speaker 1: Damn it, Israel.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Why do you keep bombing stuff? Is it because we
- 6:11Speaker 2: keep selling you bombs? That can't be the reason. There's
- 6:14Speaker 2: got to be another reason. But still, this is a disaster.
- 6:20Speaker 2: If the peace talks fail, then that means the war
- 6:23Speaker 2: is back on. And that means that all the death
- 6:25Speaker 2: and destruction and carnage is gonna raise gas prices before
- 6:28Speaker 2: my big road trip. I was really looking forward to
- 6:31Speaker 2: showing my kids all the amazing places in this country
- 6:33Speaker 2: where they can watch Bluey on their iPads.
- 6:38Speaker 1: The point is, I'm terrified. And I bet Trump must
- 6:41Speaker 1: be nervous as hell, too.
- 6:42Speaker 3: President Trump says he doesn't care if peace negotiations are over.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Trump said, quote, I don't care if they're over, honestly.
- 6:48Speaker 1: I really don't care.
- 6:49Speaker 3: I couldn't care less.
- 6:51Speaker 1: If they're over, they're over.
- 6:52Speaker 4: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 6:53Speaker 1: You okay, dude?
- 6:56Speaker 2: Why do you sound like the Iran deal broke up
- 6:57Speaker 2: with you for your best friend?
- 7:00Speaker 1: Peace talks weren't even that pretty. Listen, Mr.
- 7:05Speaker 2: President, you've got to complete these peace talks. Because I
- 7:07Speaker 2: think I speak for all Americans when I say we
- 7:09Speaker 2: don't want our soldiers overseas in the Middle East. We
- 7:13Speaker 2: want them where they belong. Diffusing landmines on Ivanka's island.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Now, Trump... How can you not care about this?
- 7:25Speaker 5: He went on to say, quote, Frankly, I thought they
- 7:27Speaker 5: started to get very boring.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Boring? Boring. Oh, I'm sorry. Is wrapping up the war
- 7:33Speaker 1: you started not interesting enough? Yes, peace talks are boring.
- 7:38Speaker 1: But guess what?
- 7:39Speaker 2: Important things are boring. Like picking up your kids from school.
- 7:43Speaker 2: That's why I don't do it.
- 7:44Speaker 1: A life hack.
- 7:47Speaker 2: The school will just drop them off at your house.
- 7:50Speaker 2: They'll tell you they won't do it again, but guess what?
- 7:52Speaker 1: They don't want your kids either.
- 7:58Speaker 2: But all right, I guess the president couldn't care less
- 8:01Speaker 2: about Netanyahu dragging him back into a very boring war.
- 8:04Speaker 4: The president initially said he couldn't care less, but hours later,
- 8:08Speaker 4: he was on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- 8:11Speaker 4: Sources describing the call as tense, with President Trump fuming
- 8:14Speaker 4: at Netanyahu over the escalation.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Well, well, well.
- 8:19Speaker 2: Turns out he only pretended not to care, but he
- 8:21Speaker 2: actually did care. Just like me when my penis doctor
- 8:25Speaker 2: said it actually is too late to turn things around.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Yeah, cost his penis.
- 8:36Speaker 2: But look, Trump and Bibi have been best friends for
- 8:38Speaker 2: a while, so how tense could this call really have been?
- 8:41Speaker 6: Axios reports that Trump said to Netanyahu, you're f *
- 8:44Speaker 6: * * ing crazy, you'd be in prison if it
- 8:46Speaker 6: weren't for me, I'm saving your ass.
- 8:48Speaker 5: The president added, quote, everybody hates you now.
- 8:51Speaker 3: Damn!
- 8:53Speaker 2: Everybody hates you now? The president then added, best friends
- 8:58Speaker 2: for never.
- 9:00Speaker 1: TTYL, talk to you, never.
- 9:06Speaker 2: It seems that Trump is starting to suspect that Netanyahu
- 9:09Speaker 2: might be deliberately derailing the peace talks just to keep
- 9:12Speaker 2: the United States in the war.
- 9:15Speaker 1: To which I'd like to say, ding, ding, ding, dummies!
- 9:20Speaker 2: Why are we always watching Donald Trump discover shit that
- 9:24Speaker 2: everyone else knew this whole time?
- 9:27Speaker 1: He had no idea that peace in the Middle East
- 9:29Speaker 1: is hard. He had no idea that the Strait of
- 9:31Speaker 1: Hormuz is where oil goes through.
- 9:33Speaker 2: And now he's like, wait a minute, does anyone else
- 9:36Speaker 2: think the international war criminal is kind of shady?
- 9:41Speaker 1: This guy was so clueless... This guy was so clueless
- 9:48Speaker 1: about Netanyahu, it makes.
- 9:50Speaker 2: You think maybe he didn't know what Jeffrey Epstein was doing.
- 9:55Speaker 1: But Donald, yeah, you guys don't know how to listen
- 9:57Speaker 1: to that joke. But Donald, this is a true story. point.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Are you going to buckle down and commit to ending
- 10:02Speaker 2: this war no matter how boring it is? I know
- 10:04Speaker 2: it's tough, but all the world wants is for the
- 10:07Speaker 2: chaos to subside and the world to get back to
- 10:10Speaker 2: normal in a peace deal with Iran would be, it
- 10:14Speaker 2: would be, what am I trying to say?
- 10:17Speaker 3: A tangible manifestation.
- 10:19Speaker 1: That's right, yes, that's right.
