[cheers and applause] ♪ ♪

>> jordan: welcome to "the daily show!" i'm jordan klepper. we've got so much to talk about tonight. lewis black takes on the cybertruck. [cheers and applause] rfk jr. has something he just can't get out of his head. and kristi noem's hopes of becoming vp have been taken out to the gravel pit and shot. plus, matt damon joins us tonight! not a bad show, huh? [cheers and applause] but first, let's catch up on all the latest in the presidential race with another installment of "indecision 2024." [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ let's kick things off with the huge trial that threatens to destroy a politician's career.

not trump's trial, he'll get off scot-free. no, i'm talking about public opinion v. kristi noem, south dakota governor and big fan of the last two minutes of "old yeller." the mainstream liberal media has been coming at her for days, just because her new memoir has a little story in it about executing a puppy. so now she's turning to her base on conservative media to find some support. but it turns out that even they are having a hard time with this. >> what happens if you are debating kamala harris, and she says, well, wait a second, you shot your dog? >> i never tell anybody my personal conversations with president trump. >> did the dog story come up in a conversation with trump? >> i talk to president trump all the time. >> about the dog? >> about a lot of things. >> governor, if you asked me a month ago, who's at the top of the list to run with donald trump? >> mm-hmm. >> i -- i would've said your name. >> mm-hmm. >> if you asked me that same question this morning, i don't

even think you're on the list. [audience reacts] >> jordan: wow, these people are harsh! you're not even on the list! not on the vp list, not on the cabinet list, not even on craigslist! i will say, for the past few years, i have been wondering, how far is too far for the right-wing maga crowd? and now we know, it's shooting your dog in a gravel pit. that is not acceptable... until trump does it, then every republican has to shoot their dog just to stay in the party. so kudos, right-wing media, for putting your foot down against killing dogs. you can hold your head up high, and go back to your regularly-scheduled segment: "why don't we toss the migrant kids into the grand canyon?" it's a very compelling segment. every wednesday at 9:00. but not every one in conservative media had their knives out for kristi noem. in the bowels of newsmax, eric bolling tried his best to throw her a lifeline. >> governor, i've -- i've also written a couple of books and i know how the process works. you write some chapters, you don't write the whole book at

once. you write a chapter or two, you send it to the editors and they edit, they read it, they add, they subtract. and here's my question: the editor. >> mm-hmm. >> the editor... was she possibly a plant, a liberal plant? >> jordan: a liberal plant editor? eric, she wrote the book! she wrote it! you can tell conservatives don't really believe any of their conspiracy bullshit by how casually they try to fit one into any scandal. "just say your editor was a liberal plant, kristi! maybe your dog was trying to rig the election? maybe your dog was dei? is that something? i don't [bleep] know, just pick one!" but believe it or not, shooting her dog isn't the only scandal about noem's book. there's also a story about when she met with north korean dictator kim jong un, where she wrote: "i remember when i met with north korean dictator kim jong un." except she had to take that story out, because she never actually met with north korean

dictator kim jong un. and she says the story was put in there by accident, and she took it out as soon as she found out, even though she wrote the book and recorded the audiobook. and if you're wondering, "didn't she find that out when she recorded the audiobook?" you're not the only one! >> you said, you, when you learned of it, you immediately took action. >> mm-hmm. >> you recorded the whole book and the audiobook. >> mm-hmm >> you read this whole passage out loud. why didn't you take it out then when you read the audiobook? >> you know, i've traveled for years. i've been involved in policy for almost 30 years, and so i've gone all across the world, i've met with world leaders. >> so you didn't realize when you recorded the audiobook? >> when it was brought to my attention, and it was -- i had asked the publisher if they would remove the name and they did. >> okay. i just -- but you didn't answer my question. when you record, you posted pictures and video of yourself. >> mm-hmm.

>> recording the audiobook. when you recorded your own audiobook -- >> you didn't notice this? >> i'm not going to discuss about my meetings with world leaders. >> i'm not asking you to. i'm asking you about recording the audio. >> did you want to talk about something else today? >> jordan: "for god's sake, can we talk about something else? i shot a dog once, did you hear about that?" kim jong un is not someone you forget meeting. he's a madman. no one is ever like, "yeah, i met hitler. oh, wait, adolf hitler? i was thinking of a different one. greg hitler from tampa." look, i know we've been talking about this kristi noem story for a few days in a row now, but she lied about meeting kim jong un and she shot a puppy! i honestly can't think of a political story that could be crazy enough to push that out of the news cycle. >> in a new report, robert kennedy opens up about health issues from a, quote, "worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died." >> jordan: [laughs] what? i don't know what's worse: that rfk junior had a worm that

was eating his brain, or that his brain is so poisoned, it killed the worm! it's so wild that we've all been joking about how rfk jr. must have brain worms, and then he actually has brain worms! it's like if the weird kid in class came back from the doctor with a note saying, "actually, kyle does have stage 2 turdface. please let him get his affairs in order." now, the kennedy campaign is dismissing the notion that the dead worm in their candidate's brain could cause any cognitive but this story actually came out because "the new york times" found a 2012 deposition from kennedy's divorce, in which he argued that his earning power had diminished because, quote, "i have cognitive problems, clearly." so i guess his argument now is: "no, no, the worm didn't eat the president part of my brain. just the part that has to give my ex-wife money."

and as if this story couldn't get any weirder, it turns out that kennedy discovered the worm because he was getting tested for brain fog and memory loss. but doctors said it probably wasn't the worm that was causing the brain fog. it was more likely that he had severe mercury poisoning from eating too much fish. i mean, no wonder rfk cares so much about climate change: he's legally a thermometer. [cheers and applause] how will this affect the race? probably not much. i know the idealists out there would love to vote for a perfect candidate, but we live in the real world, okay? does rfk jr. have a worm in his brain? sure. and trump's brain is just two possums and a squirrel. biden's cerebrum is riddled with slugs. you know? would it be nice to have a

candidate whose head is full of all brain? sure, and i'd love a puppy too, but kristi noem shot it. grow up! for more on this ongoing medical situation, we go live to the rfk jr. campaign with our own desi lydic. [cheers and applause] desi. wow, desi, worms inside a presidential candidate's head is a terrifying story. what's the mood at the campaign? >> well, it's understandable why people are nervous, but as it turns out, brain worms are very common. healthy, even! in fact, some might say society would be better if everyone had worms in their brains. >> jordan: wow, desi. that sounds like something a worm would say. >> what? no! jordan, it's me. a human woman. i just think people shouldn't be so scared about embracing a symbiotic relationship with another life form. a beautiful, parasitic life form.

it's not like i'm asking you to surrender to us. surrender to us! >> jordan: okay, hold on, now i'm genuinely concerned, desi. this doesn't sound like you at all. is it possible you have a brain worm? >> what? jordan, no, of course not. i don't even know why you would say that. why would you say that? >> jordan: you're eating soil! you are a worm! >> jordan, if you are suggesting that i was interviewing rfk jr. and he tricked me into touching our eyeballs together so a bunch of his worms could funnel into my brain's left cortex, then you are way out of line. way out of line! it was just a normal interview, it wasn't weird. okay? although you know what is weird? legs! am i right? >> jordan: no! this is horrible! if you're in there, desi, fight the worms! >> oh, my god, jordan, stop being so paranoid!

it's just me, desi lordic, or whatever. i'll tell you what, when i get back to new york, let's just get together, sit down, and touch eyeballs. >> jordan: no! absolutely not! don't threaten me, worm, i won't tolerate that. >> oh, what are you going to do, fire me? then you're going to have zero worms in late night. how's that going to look? >> jordan: aha, so you admit it! you are a worm! so what's the end game here? you build an army of worm-people, brainwash everyone, and then get rfk elected? >> oh, my god, no, jordan, that's insane. i mean, yes, we're building an army of worm people to take over the earth. but we're not voting for rfk! that dude's crazy! no [bleep] way! i've got worms for brains, not shit for brains. [cheers and applause] >> jordan: fair enough. worm desi lydic, everybody. when we come back, lewis black will be joining us. don't go away. [cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause] >> jordan: welcome back to "the daily show." when a news story falls through the cracks, lewis black catches it, for a segment we call "back in black." ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] >> cars used to be a way to let people know you were cool. or in the case of your friend's dad, to let people know you were

having a mid-life crisis. and in recent years, one of the coolest cars you could buy was a tesla. not only was it a status symbol, but it was electric! it was like a compost bin that you could drink and drive in. for a while, tesla's stock price was sky-rocketing! but now, it's sliding down like half of mitch mcconnell's face. >> the numbers are in and tesla has fallen short of expectations. elon musk's electric vehicle company releasing first quarter earnings, showing its biggest revenue drop in over a decade. in the first three months of the year, car sales dropping 8.5%, adding to a plummeting stock price that so far this year has gone down over 40%. >> holy shit, down 40%! the only thing worth less than tesla stock is a fully grown adult at p. diddy's house.

[audience reacts] stop it! that is the least of their problems. but don't worry, tesla owner elon musk has a perfectly reasonable, dumb-as-[bleep] explanation for this. >> we should be thought of as an ai or robotics company. if you value tesla as just like an auto company, you just have to fundamentally -- it's just the wrong framework. >> sorry, elon, my mistake! all this time, i thought your company that sold cars was a car company! god, one of us must be a real [bleep] idiot! so tesla's clearly in the shitter. and the thing that was supposed to save it was the cybertruck, a vehicle that looks like what happens when you inbreed deloreans. but unfortunately, the cybertruck appears to be cyber[bleep]. >> tesla recalling its entire fleet of cybertrucks, nearly 4,000 in all.

the company says the accelerator pedal could get stuck causing the pickup to unintentionally speed up, risking a crash. >> remember, it's not a car crash. it's an ai crash! open your mind, man! seriously, though, you recalled all of them? none were okay? even with the baldwins, they made one good one. i'm not going to say which one. i don't want to get shot. [cheers and applause] and this is just the latest problem with robocop's [bleep]wagon. because that thing's been shitting the bed since day one. >> we've gotten a lot of tales of malfunctions, so for example, vehicles dying after traveling just one mile. >> the stainless steel vehicles are quickly showing signs of rust. >> one guy sharing how the

drive through car wash was too much for the tesla cybertruck. he doesn't know what happened but says the owner's manual does say you should never wash your car in sunlight. >> a tesla cybertruck had to be rescued by a ford pickup after the tesla got stuck in the mud and snow on a road in the sierras south of lake tahoe. >> aww, fancy cybertruck had to get rescued by the big tough ford? you're the laughing stock of all the other trucks! that ford pickup's probably banging your wife right now, you cyber-cuck! plus, what use is a truck if it can't off-road? that's like a sex doll with no holes. now i just seem weird having it on my couch! and this car isn't just failing its owners. it's trying to eat them! >> cybertruck users are reporting injuries from the automatic trunk. >> everyone's been waiting for this. the finger.

without further ado. >> we're closing the cybertruck. i'm going to put my finger flat right here and see what happens. ready? ready, ready. ow, ow. oh, oh. ow. okay, oh, my god. ow. oh, okay. i can't even move my finger right now. i might have actually broken it. >> good. good, because i'm team cybertruck on this one. you morons had it coming. do us all a favor: save us from another generation of cybertruck drivers. stick your balls in there too. [cheers and applause] luckily, i still have all my fingers, so i can deliver this message to elon. on behalf of tesla stockholders. [cheers and applause] unlike ai, this is pretty

straightforward! so is this one. [cheers and applause] jordan? >> jordan: lewis black, everybody. when we come back, matt damon will be joining me on the show. don't go away. [cheers and applause]

defiant than putting on a beauty pageant in the middle of a war as a giant [...] off. >> generation after generation, when we meet these bullies, these thugs, these terrorists pretending to be politicians, the artists are also attacked and threatened. poets, writers, filmmakers, musicians. because they are a threat. because it can inspire people to find the strength and courage to resist. >> jordan: please welcome matt damon! [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ welcome! >> thank you! [cheers and applause]

>> jordan: they react to everybody like that. >> [laughs] >> jordan: this movie is -- it's remarkable. a story i hadn't heard of. it follows the siege of sarajevo, and sort of the art community that sprang out of it and also the ways in which u2 was sort of used as a touchstone to pull people together at that time. i wonder, what compelled you to tell this story? >> well, i had the same reaction. somebody told me the story and it was so incredible, and we had this great director, nenad cicin-sain, who is from there, and who came in and talked to us about it. i just wanted to help get the story out there, because it is such a beautiful story, and ultimately about light triumphing over dark. these people in sarajevo, who were just so resilient, used music as an act of defiance and resistance in the middle of these horrible circumstances. i just found it just a beautiful

story. so i am a producer on it. it is a documentary. it is not my normal kind of thing to do, but it was something i wanted to put out there for people to see. >> jordan: i'm curious, as an artist yourself, what were touchstones for you? clearly, you didn't grow up in war-torn boston, from my understanding. but i am wondering, as an artist and a creator, finding those touchstones that make you feel connected to something larger. what do you see when you watch and produce a film like that? >> i feel -- look, i was in australia last year, looking at cave art that was 18,000 years old. and just that very human impulse that we have to tell stories to each other. and it's a way to kind of tell somebody another perspective. and for filmmaking, if you can put people in other people's shoes, that builds empathy and compassion. and -- [applause]

and as edge says, there really are these legitimate dark forces that are trying to divide us. you see that a lot in politics. you see that a lot -- and what art and music and film does, hopefully, it is, it is a bulwark against that and an attemt to kind of bridge those divides and keep these communities together. >> jordan: do you feel tension as somebody, as a creator, and a producer? like, we are in such partisan times, such political times. and selling political ideas is not the easiest to sell as it used to be. what do you see as you are moving forward and making things? how do you see the art that you want to produce and be a part of? >> well, i think you want -- whatever it is you are making, your heart has to be in it and you have to feel like -- look, even if it is a movie that isn't overtly political, if it is about building understanding about -- if you can watch a movie that has no relation to your life and be affected by the

characters, then that is one little small bit of evolution, you know, and we are bombarded by all of -- i mean, you are forced to sit through it because you have to write jokes about it. [laughs] but i mean, it really is kind of an assault on your senses, and it is constantly telling you that we are different and we are divided and we are split. and i think movies like this and other films can kind of call bullshit on that idea and say, we are actually a lot closer than we think. or than we are told. [cheers and applause] >> jordan: there is a final quote in this movie, that is a poignant one. they wonder whether we need that concert more today than we needed it in '97. >> yeah. that was one of the sarajevans who said it and that is why nenad decided to close the movie with it. you do see a lot of parallels

all over the world to what was happening there. so again, it is ultimately a really uplifting movie because it is beautiful to watch. you know, these people, what they did, how they overcame their situation. the band and the concert at the end that they play was the first time that 50,000 people gathered and they were on different sides of this conflict and they gathered and just listened to music together. the movie is called "kiss the future" because bono, when he started this concert, he grabbed the microphone and he said "[bleep] the past, kiss the future." that is why we call the movie "kiss the future" -- [cheers and applause] >> jordan: it is a beautiful movie. >> thanks. thanks. >> jordan: "kiss the future" is now available to stream exclusively on paramount+. matt damon. we're going to take a quick break, but we'll be right back after this.
