Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome to The Daily Show!
- 0:02Speaker 2: Man!
- 0:02Speaker 1: My name is John Stewart. We've got a show for
- 0:04Speaker 1: you tonight. Carol Cadwallader is going to be joining us.
- 0:07Speaker 1: She's a journalist.
- 0:08Speaker 3: She's going to discuss with us the tech brologarchy and
- 0:11Speaker 3: how the entirety of mankind, entirety, will be enslaved by
- 0:16Speaker 3: a handful of misanthropic data hoarders.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Spoiler alert, we don't make it. Speaking of misanthropic data hoarders, Doge.
- 0:31Speaker 3: Has finally rooted out one of America's least efficient government workers.
- 0:40Speaker 1: And marked.
- 0:48Speaker 1: And marked him for dismissal.
- 0:50Speaker 4: Elon Musk is no longer a special government employee.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Friday was the billionaire's last day in charge of the
- 0:56Speaker 1: Department of Government Efficiency. He's leaving.
- 1:02Speaker 3: He's leaving his job to make more family with his time.
- 1:06Speaker 1: He, uh, he f * * * s a lot,
- 1:13Speaker 1: I think.
- 1:14Speaker 3: Or just has a mail-order sperm farm going. I don't
- 1:17Speaker 3: know what he's up to. I'm actually, I'm starting to
- 1:19Speaker 3: feel bad for this guy. He's been, look at him,
- 1:21Speaker 3: he's been there four months. Look at, look at the
- 1:25Speaker 3: poor bastard. It only took four months to go from this.
- 1:30Speaker 5: to this.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Look at this f * * * ing guy.
- 1:36Speaker 3: He went from tech titan, given a mandate to move
- 1:39Speaker 3: fast and crush the deep state to guy who had
- 1:46Speaker 3: a bad night in Nashville bar he can't remember. He's
- 1:50Speaker 3: got that look like, has anyone seen my shoes?
- 1:55Speaker 1: He's a little beaten down.
- 1:57Speaker 3: He's got that look on his face that I imagine
- 2:01Speaker 3: his employees normally have.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Black eye, thousand yard stare. This dude has seen some shit.
- 2:10Speaker 1: I'd like to know at least how that happened.
- 2:13Speaker 5: Is your eye okay? What happened to your eye?
- 2:14Speaker 1: I know this was a bruise there.
- 2:16Speaker 6: No, I just wasn't around with the Lex and I said,
- 2:19Speaker 6: go ahead, punch me in the face and he did.
- 2:31Speaker 1: So you're not going to tell us what happened. Do
- 2:35Speaker 1: you need a safe place to stay?
- 2:37Speaker 3: Look, I believe sometimes do happen when you're roughhousing with
- 2:40Speaker 3: your kids, but I'm also sure the one sentence no
- 2:42Speaker 3: parent has ever uttered to their.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Child is, go ahead, punch me in the face.
- 2:53Speaker 3: But, you know, Elon spent $ 300 million of his own
- 2:56Speaker 3: money to get Trump elected, irreparably damaged his personal brand
- 3:00Speaker 3: and almost all of his business, and is clearly suffering
- 3:03Speaker 3: some kind of issue.
- 3:04Speaker 1: But don't worry. Trump made sure that Elon got something
- 3:07Speaker 1: in return.
- 3:08Speaker 3: President Trump heaping praise on the tech titan, presenting him
- 3:11Speaker 3: with a golden key.
- 3:13Speaker 7: I gave him a little special something we have here.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 3:15Speaker 7: A very special that I give to very special people.
- 3:20Speaker 7: I have given it to some, but it goes to
- 3:23Speaker 7: very special people, and I thought I'd give it to
- 3:26Speaker 7: Elon as a presentation from our country.
- 3:29Speaker 6: Thank you.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Thank you, Elon.
- 3:31Speaker 3: You couldn't just give him the f * * *
- 3:33Speaker 3: ing key. You have to make sure that everybody knows
- 3:38Speaker 3: you give them to a lot of people.
- 3:41Speaker 1: It's just not that special. You know, I got a
- 3:43Speaker 1: bunch of these. I give them to special people. Who's
- 3:45Speaker 1: the guy who brings me my Diet Cokes? I give
- 3:47Speaker 1: him one for every Diet Coke. Anyway, enjoy your useless key.
- 3:58Speaker 3: There was no need for Trump and Elon to commemorate
- 4:00Speaker 3: this epic fail.
- 4:01Speaker 1: It's an embarrassing display of theater. Look at these guys.
- 4:05Speaker 3: Pretending like this is some kind of celebratory victorious send-off
- 4:10Speaker 3: for a job well done.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Jesus, look, even Lincoln is looking down. You see him?
- 4:13Speaker 1: Look at Lincoln. Look at Lincoln. Even Lincoln is looking
- 4:20Speaker 1: down going....
- 4:27Speaker 3: This is the most tedious performance I've ever had to
- 4:29Speaker 3: sit through.
- 4:30Speaker 1: This is....
- 4:37Speaker 8: Even Lincoln can't take it.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Somebody booth me. I don't like this. Too soon? Is that? Lincoln,
- 4:53Speaker 1: for God's sake.
- 4:59Speaker 3: With all the shit going on in the world, I
- 5:01Speaker 3: was not expecting the audience to be like, poor Lincoln.
- 5:04Speaker 3: Poor Lincoln.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Just wanted to see you play.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Of course, Lincoln wasn't the only one seemingly disassociating in.
- 5:19Speaker 1: The Oval Office.
- 5:21Speaker 3: Of course, there might have been an explanation for that
- 5:24Speaker 3: behavior as well. The New York Times reports that Musk
- 5:27Speaker 3: allegedly used drugs far more than previously known.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Look. Whether Elon was using drugs on the job or not,
- 5:37Speaker 1: I have no idea.
- 5:37Speaker 3: I do know one thing about the television industry, though,
- 5:41Speaker 3: especially the news industry, and that is whatever unusual images
- 5:47Speaker 3: we have of Elon's enthusiastic time in Washington, D.C., those
- 5:54Speaker 3: images will now be repurposed and given a slightly different
- 5:59Speaker 3: meaning and context, almost comically so, Inside edition, do your worst.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Musk's departure comes as a jaw-dropping New York Times report
- 6:11Speaker 2: claims he was taking.
- 6:12Speaker 5: A cocktail of drugs while.
- 6:14Speaker 2: On the campaign trail. According to the Times expose, Musk's
- 6:19Speaker 2: erratic behavior, including waving a chainsaw around and that notorious
- 6:24Speaker 2: Nazi-like stiff arm, can be attributed to a daily mix
- 6:28Speaker 2: of ketamine, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms, and Adderall. They claim he
- 6:33Speaker 2: traveled with a daily medication box that holds 20 pills.
- 6:39Speaker 5: Yes!
- 6:45Speaker 1: Why do you want to do a Brother Dirty? Come on,
- 6:50Speaker 1: Inside Edition.
- 6:51Speaker 3: Inauguration party enthusiasm or reefer madness? And you might be saying, well, look,
- 7:01Speaker 3: who amongst us has an unwound sometimes with a little
- 7:05Speaker 3: mixture of ecstasy mushrooms, ketamine, and Adderall?
- 7:12Speaker 1: What could be the harm?
- 7:13Speaker 2: He told people he was taking so much ketamine that
- 7:16Speaker 2: it was affecting his bladder.
- 7:17Speaker 5: LAUGHTER He told people that?
- 7:33Speaker 3: This dude is a one-man anti-drug campaign.
- 7:37Speaker 1: These are your pants. These are your pants on drugs.
- 7:44Speaker 3: And I do love the fact, though, that the detail
- 7:46Speaker 3: is he's the one who told them he had a
- 7:47Speaker 3: bladder problem. That means things were so bad, he had
- 7:51Speaker 3: to be like, oh, don't worry, it's nothing weird.
- 7:52Speaker 1: It's just an overabundance of ketamine. Now, obviously... We on this.
- 7:58Speaker 3: Program would have been delighted to offer an unedited forum
- 8:02Speaker 3: for Elon to discuss his journey from hardworking efficiency expert
- 8:06Speaker 3: to drug-addled child star mugshot. But he chose to go
- 8:10Speaker 3: in a different direction by sort of speaking to your
- 8:13Speaker 3: theater-loving parents' favorite news program, CBS Sunday Morning.
- 8:18Speaker 1: This is true.
- 8:19Speaker 3: This was his final Trump administration exit interview.
- 8:23Speaker 4: I noticed that all of your businesses involve a lot
- 8:25Speaker 4: of components, a lot of parts. Do the tariffs and
- 8:27Speaker 4: the trade wars affect any of this?
- 8:30Speaker 1: Uh, you know, tariffs always affect things a little bit.
- 8:38Speaker 1: How revealing. Any follow-up?
- 8:42Speaker 4: Wondering what your thought is on the ban on foreign students,
- 8:46Speaker 4: the proposal.
- 8:46Speaker 1: I mean, you were one of those kids, right?
- 8:50Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think we want to stick to,
- 8:52Speaker 6: you know, the subject of the day, which is, like, spaceships,
- 8:57Speaker 6: as opposed to, you know, presidential policy.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Oh, okay. I was told anything's good, but... No, well... No.
- 9:12Speaker 1: Look what Trump has reduced this man to. He has
- 9:16Speaker 1: broken this poor man. Just in an interview.
- 9:21Speaker 9: Can't we just talk about spaceships? I was told we'd
- 9:29Speaker 9: talk about... I was told we would both.
- 9:31Speaker 3: Be wearing helmets and talking about.
- 9:36Speaker 3: Just a simple boy with a set of Star Wars
- 9:38Speaker 3: sheets and pillows and.
- 9:41Speaker 1: I really would just like to talk about space. I mean,
- 9:45Speaker 1: you can't blame him.
- 9:46Speaker 3: This whole project was cutting money from the government trying
- 9:48Speaker 3: to find efficiencies and... sneaking a Trojan horse in the
- 9:51Speaker 3: back door and stealing all our data. But Trump is
- 9:55Speaker 3: spending $ 200 billion more than the previous administration did in
- 9:59Speaker 3: this amount of time. and creating a deficit-exploding, big, beautiful
- 10:03Speaker 3: bill that is the antithesis of everything Musk said he
- 10:06Speaker 3: was trying to do. And now he's left softly complaining
- 10:10Speaker 3: about it to a guy whose normal news segment is
- 10:12Speaker 3: explaining to your grandparents how to download a PDF.
- 10:16Speaker 6: You know, I was, like, disappointed to see the massive...
- 10:20Speaker 6: spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, doesn't decrease it,
- 10:26Speaker 6: and undermines the work that the Doge team is doing.
- 10:28Speaker 6: I think a bill can be big or it can.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Be beautiful, but I don't know if it can be both.
- 10:35Speaker 1: My personal opinion. No, sir. We will not be body-shaming legislation.
- 10:45Speaker 8: I'm going to tell you something, and I speak for
- 10:48Speaker 8: all the legislation out there, that in this country, a
- 10:54Speaker 8: bill can be big.
- 10:57Speaker 3: And beautiful and.
- 11:07Speaker 1: I promised myself I wasn't going to do this. And brave.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Holy shit! No? Here's my favorite, by the way.
- 11:22Speaker 3: So this actually is my favorite part of the whole interview.
- 11:24Speaker 3: So Elon actually expressed some dissatisfaction with what was happening
- 11:29Speaker 3: with the Trump administration. It was a turn of events
- 11:31Speaker 3: that stunned the reporter on CBS Sunday Morning, who had
- 11:36Speaker 3: no idea, apparently, that this was being recorded.
- 11:39Speaker 4: Right after our interview, CBS News posted a clip of
- 11:42Speaker 4: it to promote this very report. It was that part
- 11:47Speaker 4: where Musk criticizes Trump's spending bill.
- 11:49Speaker 1: And his remarks became news. It went all the way
- 11:53Speaker 1: up to the White House. Yeah. That's what news does.
- 12:08Speaker 1: He's saying that like, so am I in trouble now?
- 12:13Speaker 1: I thought we were just killing time until we got
- 12:15Speaker 1: another Patti LuPone apologizes update. I don't like any of this.
- 12:20Speaker 3: But let this be a lesson to Elon and anybody
- 12:23Speaker 3: in Trump's orbit. Whatever your passion and political belief, whatever
- 12:26Speaker 3: your ideology is, you will go from reaching for mind
- 12:29Speaker 3: stars to dissolving in a puddle of your own urine
- 12:33Speaker 3: and shame and starting a fight club with your kid
- 12:36Speaker 3: just to be able to feel.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Because Trump... Trump!
- 12:46Speaker 6: Trump!
- 12:50Speaker 1: Trump! Trump doesn't believe in anything, man.
- 12:56Speaker 3: What, were you with him because of his commitment to
- 12:58Speaker 3: rein in big tech?
- 13:00Speaker 7: They use big tech to censor you. They use the
- 13:03Speaker 7: deep state to spy on you. We have to make
- 13:06Speaker 7: sure that we are protecting the American people's privacy and
- 13:10Speaker 7: data rights.
- 13:12Speaker 1: When I'm president, big tech will pay.
- 13:14Speaker 3: iTunes will have to agree to your terms and conditions.
- 13:20Speaker 1: When I'm president, traffic.
- 13:22Speaker 3: Lights will have to click on boxes containing pictures of you.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Capture that!
- 13:36Speaker 3: So how's that libertarian paradise vision going for you now?
- 13:40Speaker 10: The Trump administration is expanding its partnership with Palantir. The
- 13:45Speaker 10: company is reportedly going to build a master list of
- 13:48Speaker 10: personal information on Americans that could give President Donald Trump
- 13:52Speaker 10: immense surveillance power.
- 13:56Speaker 3: It's never a good sign when the phrase master list
- 13:59Speaker 3: and surveillance power are coupled. No one's ever like, I've
- 14:04Speaker 3: assembled a master list of puppies you can surveil for boops.
- 14:10Speaker 1: But hey, how evil can Palantir be? You got Pal
- 14:15Speaker 1: right in the name of it.
- 14:18Speaker 3: It's not like they're handing all of our data over
- 14:22Speaker 3: to some crackpot CEO.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Well, let's not judge a book by its cover.
- 14:35Speaker 3: The most effective way for social change is humiliate your
- 14:39Speaker 3: enemy and make them poorer.
- 14:41Speaker 1: I don't think in win-lose. I think in domination.
- 14:44Speaker 7: I love the idea of getting a drone and having
- 14:47Speaker 7: light fentanyl-laced urine spraying on analysts who've tried to screw us.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Well, let's not judge a book by its insides.
- 15:03Speaker 3: Well, I've always said if there's anyone in the country
- 15:05Speaker 3: who should have access to all of my personal data,
- 15:09Speaker 3: it's the guy who wants drug-laced urine-spraying drones. Although if
- 15:15Speaker 3: he is serious about that, he's going to need a
- 15:16Speaker 3: source for drug-laced urine.
- 15:18Speaker 1: I might know a guy.
- 15:20Speaker 11: No? No?
- 15:21Speaker 6: No?
- 15:23Speaker 5: Here's the thing.
- 15:25Speaker 1: The reality is this.
- 15:26Speaker 3: The reality of Trump is he turns even his most
- 15:29Speaker 3: fervent and enthusiastic foot soldiers upside down.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Take Dan Bongino, ex-secret service agent, Fox.
- 15:35Speaker 3: News host, and guy who looks like he starts fights
- 15:37Speaker 3: at Little League games even though he doesn't.
- 15:38Speaker 1: Have a kid playing. He was very excited for the
- 15:41Speaker 1: Trump era. Right now, we're in charge. This is how
- 15:45Speaker 1: shit gets done. Trump ain't f * * * ing around.
- 15:47Speaker 1: We are going to hold every one of these people accountable.
- 15:50Speaker 12: It is time for total personnel warfare.
- 15:54Speaker 1: Fire 100 people on day one.
- 15:56Speaker 5: Fire 100 more.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Fire 1,000 more. Fire everyone. We're good at flipping the
- 16:01Speaker 1: script on.
- 16:02Speaker 12: Dipshit f * * * wad liberal commies.
- 16:04Speaker 1: You know what's coming? What's coming? Does anybody know?
- 16:17Speaker 3: Well, that last part's going to make for some good
- 16:19Speaker 3: B-roll for an Inside Edition story one day. Anyway, Trump
- 16:24Speaker 3: made that guy deputy director of the FBI because.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Of course.
- 16:28Speaker 3: But look what his only three months on the job
- 16:31Speaker 3: have done to him.
- 16:33Speaker 12: I gave up everything for this. I mean, Cash is
- 16:36Speaker 12: there all day. Our offices are linked. He turns on
- 16:40Speaker 12: the faucet. I hear it.
- 16:41Speaker 1: He's there.
- 16:42Speaker 12: He gets in at like 6 o'clock in the morning.
- 16:44Speaker 12: He doesn't leave until 7 at night. You know, I'm
- 16:46Speaker 12: in there at 7.30 in the morning. You know, he
- 16:49Speaker 12: uses the gym. I work out in my apartment. But
- 16:52Speaker 12: I stare at these four walls all day in D.C.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Yeah. That's called a job. You have a job. That's
- 17:02Speaker 1: what they are.
- 17:03Speaker 3: You go in at a specific time, 6.37, around there,
- 17:06Speaker 3: to a specific room, mostly four-walled.
- 17:10Speaker 1: And you're there all f * * * ing day.
- 17:12Speaker 1: It's work. It's a job. And yeah, there probably is
- 17:16Speaker 1: a dude in there that you hear all f *
- 17:18Speaker 1: * * ing day.
- 17:20Speaker 3: He turns the water on, you hear, hey, look at that,
- 17:22Speaker 3: he's chewing another.
- 17:23Speaker 1: F * * * ing sandwich. I hate this job.
- 17:28Speaker 1: It's annoying. Yeah, it sucks. How do you not know that?
- 17:33Speaker 1: For God's sakes, you're on the right. Haven't you even
- 17:35Speaker 1: read Dilbert? For f * * * ing sake. Work sucks.
- 17:41Speaker 1: And how are you just finding about this now?
- 17:45Speaker 3: How is having a job now suddenly destroying everything?
- 17:48Speaker 12: But I stare at these four walls all day in D.C.,
- 17:51Speaker 12: you know, by myself, divorced from my wife.
- 17:54Speaker 1: Not divorced, but I mean separated divorced. And it's hard.
- 17:56Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we love each other and it's
- 17:58Speaker 1: hard to be apart. I mean, it's just hard. I
- 18:06Speaker 1: don't like to separate it. I mean, divorce.
- 18:08Speaker 3: I'm not divorced. I'm divorced, but not separate. I'm separate together,
- 18:11Speaker 3: but not, of course, alone. But I go, who knows?
- 18:13Speaker 3: I mean, some people, they leave for a while.
- 18:15Speaker 1: Who the f * * * knows? Guys come over,
- 18:16Speaker 1: they come banging people. Who the f * * *
- 18:17Speaker 1: knows what's happening? I don't know what's happening. Why can't
- 18:21Speaker 1: she come to work? Why can't I just bring... Can
- 18:24Speaker 1: I bring my wife to work? Would that be okay?
- 18:29Speaker 1: We all miss our wives!
- 18:31Speaker 5: What the f * * *?
- 18:34Speaker 3: The only one who's going to come out of there
- 18:36Speaker 3: unscathed is Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt, because I don't think
- 18:39Speaker 3: she got any principles in there.
- 18:41Speaker 1: Left to die.
- 18:42Speaker 13: President Trump is truly the most transparent and accessible president
- 18:46Speaker 13: in American history.
- 18:47Speaker 5: We have truth on our side at this White House.
- 18:49Speaker 13: I think everybody, the American public, believe it's absurd for
- 18:53Speaker 13: anyone to insinuate that this president is profiting off of
- 18:56Speaker 13: the presidency. It's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room
- 18:59Speaker 13: would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for
- 19:03Speaker 13: his own benefit.
- 19:04Speaker 1: That's all he's doing. By the way, I think the
- 19:09Speaker 1: more she lies, the bigger her cross gets. Is that possible?
- 19:14Speaker 3: It's like some sort of weird Pinocchio cross. The president
- 19:19Speaker 3: can't be bought. I'm not even upset with this lady.
- 19:27Speaker 3: Because just rolling with the punches is clearly the only
- 19:29Speaker 3: strategy for happiness when you're working for Trump. Trump's very
- 19:33Speaker 3: open secret has always been he doesn't believe in or
- 19:35Speaker 3: care about any policy issue at all.
- 19:37Speaker 1: He wants attention, he wants his ego stroked, and he
- 19:39Speaker 1: wants money. He wants f * * * wads and
- 19:42Speaker 1: f * * * wads of money. Remember his 90
- 19:44Speaker 1: deals in 90 days? He made them, but only for
- 19:47Speaker 1: his family. Those are the only deals he made.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Meanwhile the world he said he was going to fix
- 19:53Speaker 3: is burning like so many nuclear capable planes in siberia
- 19:57Speaker 3: and don't bother trying to call him on it because
- 20:00Speaker 3: before you can he's already moved on to pulling some
- 20:02Speaker 3: new crazy thing out of his ass to distract us.
- 20:05Speaker 11: President Trump is reposting false claims about former President Joe Biden,
- 20:10Speaker 11: saying that Biden was executed in 2020. Since then, clones,
- 20:14Speaker 11: body doubles, and robots took Biden's place as president.
- 20:21Speaker 3: You're saying that the Joe Biden, who doesn't even know
- 20:25Speaker 3: where he is, is actually an incredibly advanced cloned robot?
- 20:33Speaker 1: How much ketamine are you on?
