[cheers and applause] ♪ ♪

>> desi: welcome to "the daily show!" i'm desi lydic. we've got so much to talk about tonight. king charles gets haunted by his own portrait, trump and biden finally set a date, and we find out which bacterial infection is sponsoring the olympics! so let's get into headlines! ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] let's begin with king charles: the undisputed winner of white privilege. it's been one year since he was crowned eldest boy, and he just got the photos developed. >> mixed reaction this afternoon on the portrait just unveiled of king charles. take a look. it is the first since his coronation. the oil on canvas work of art features the king dressed in all red with a red background. he's wearing the uniform of the welsh guards, but there's also a butterfly landing over his right shoulder. >> desi: oh, god! i just remembered i have to buy

tampons. buy tampons. now obviously, this is a pretty big departure from other portraits of the royal family. for example, queen elizabeth was often painted with her beloved corgis. compare that to charles, who looks like he was painted with her corgis once kristi noem was finished with them. i do like having the butterfly there. it says: "i may be king of england, but i still love that song that goes: ♪ come, ma lady ♪ ♪ come, come, ma lady ♪ ♪ you're my butterfly ♪ ♪ sugah baby! ♪ it's a great song. it's a really great song. it still holds up. now clearly, this painting has gotten a lot of negative feedback. but king charles swears he loves the portrait. which probably means he's having an affair with another portrait on the side. but let's move on from a leader who struggled with infidelity, to a leader who has no problem with it at all: donald trump.

there's been a lot of news on the campaign trial today, so let's get right into it in another edition of "indecision 2024." ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] it looked like today was going to be a quiet day on the campaign trail. it's wednesday, so donald trump had the day off from his porn star hush money trial, which he was going to spend trying to guess melania's new phone number. but his archnemesis, joe biden, had other plans. >> breaking news, just moments ago, president biden throws down the gauntlet and frankly some shade to donald trump, challenging him to a debate. >> donald trump lost two debates to me in 2020. since then, he hasn't shown up for debates. now he's acting like he wants to debate me again. well, make my day, pal! i'll even do it twice! so let's pick the dates, donald. i hear you're free on wednesdays. [cheers and applause] >> desi: oh, shit!

yeah! now that's the joe biden i know and moderately like! he ain't scared of nothin', besides natural causes. i got to admit, there was part of me that thought joe biden would be afraid to debate donald trump, because, you know, debating involves a lot of talking, and thinking, and standing. but woo! the way he powered through that 14-second video makes me think he's got this! i don't know why he dropped this challenge now. maybe he heard all those stories about trump sleeping through the trial and thought, "i can take this guy! we're on the same nap schedule!" but come on, trump skipped every primary debate like it was foreplay. there's no way he's going to accept biden's challenge. >> the former president responded to that video this morning on truth social saying, "just tell me when, i'll be there. let's get ready to rumble." >> desi: oh, shit! it's on! yeah! "let's get ready to rumble!"

"make my day!" "i see dead people!" "i want you to draw me like one of your french girls!" "wednesdays, we wear pink!" "welcome to jurassic park!" yeah, we're making moves now! biden and trump have agreed to debate! but they still need to agree on a date and a host. those logistics don't just come together within 45 minutes. >> president joe biden and donald trump have just accepted cnn's invitation to hold a debate on june 27th. that's just in a few weeks. >> desi: wow, okay! june 27th! joe biden is going to be debating donald trump! yay! i can't wait to watch... like this. [applause]

but yeah, everything moved so quickly. biden dropped that video and by noon, they had scheduled two debates. it's amazing how when they want to do something, they can get it done super fast. it kind of makes you kind of wonder why they don't fix other problems this fast, but whatever! we'll enjoy it. now, obviously, there are still details to be worked out. because even though joe biden said "make my day," he really meant "make my day, subject to terms and conditions." >> the biden campaigns wants the debate to occur inside a tv studio with microphones that automatically cut off when a speaker's time limit elapses and they want it to be just the two candidates and the moderator, without the raucous in-person audiences that mr. trump feeds on, and without the participation of robert f. kennedy jr. or other independent or third-party candidates. >> desi: yeah, i get where biden's coming from on this. you don't want crowds, because

they give donald trump energy. and you don't want rfk jr., because you can't risk losing to the guy with the brain worms. so they have to work out the details. trump has to agree to biden's stipulations, and he might have demands of his own, like, "every candidate gets a get-out-of-jail-free card," or "the debate moderator has to be a lady, and she has to kiss them on the mouth like the old "family feud." for more on this looming presidential debate, we go live to michael kosta at cnn headquarters. [cheers and applause] >> hi, desi. >> desi: michael, how are the candidates preparing? >> both sides are buckling down, desi. president biden is doing his classic pre-debate ritual of a glass of hot tea and an iv full of methamphetamines. meanwhile, trump's team is teaching him how to dig a tunnel through concrete with a spork, so he'll be able to break out of prison.

>> desi: okay, but michael, is all this even necessary? both candidates have already been president. we're not going to learn anything new about their policies. >> yeah, but this debate is not about learning their policies. it's about giving the american people a chance to see which candidate, medically speaking, has the least [bleep] up body. neither of them are giving us any details about their physical or mental health, so this is our only chance to get them in a room together and see if they can do presidential tasks, like "talk coherently for an hour" or "not hemorrhage blood through an orifice." >> desi: okay, so you're saying the american people should see this less as a debate and more as a secret medical exam? >> yeah, yeah. yes, which is why i suggest that cnn add some additional stipulations. for example, the candidates should each defend their tax policy, while following this finger with their eyes.

or have them bend down and lift a five pound kettle bell and see who breaks the least amount of bones. or bring out one of their grandkids and see if either of them know whose grandkid it is. or simply just see which one of them can start a lawnmower. >> desi: okay, so basically, we evaluate their physical and mental health, and whoever scores the highest gets to be president? >> absolutely not. no, this is all a ruse. once we get biden and trump in a room together, we can lock the door, and the rest of us can sneak out of america. [cheers and applause] then, we start a new country with younger candidates. you know, ones whose first kiss wasn't in the backseat of a model t. >> desi: but michael, even if we could do that, at some point, biden and trump would find their way to this new country, right? >> maybe, but the only entrance will be through a spiral staircase, so good luck! >> desi: ah, you've thought of everything! see you in our new nation, buddy.

michael kosta, everyone. [cheers and applause] when we come back, we'll fight about sports. so don't go away.

battle. it is time for "sportswear," brought to you by gambling. gambling. it is literally free money. [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ >> what's up, scrubs? i'm ronny chieng! >> and i'm jordan klepper! this is "sports war," the show where we are legally not allowed to agree with each other. >> that's right -- i mean, that's wrong! >> no, you're wrong! let's get right to the biggest story of the night: caitlin clark made her pro debut, and learned everything gets a little less fun after college. >> welcome to the wnba, caitlin clark. the ncaa's all-time division-one scoring leader made her professional debut on the road with the indiana fever last night. she got off to a slow start, though, missing her first four shots before scoring on a lay-up midway through the second quarter. clark finished with 20 points in the fever's 92-71 loss to the connecticut sun. she also committed 10 turnovers. >> sorry, feminists! 10 turnovers and her team lost

by 20 points? in her first game? i've seen enough, man. i think caitlin clark is the worst basketball player in history. she's tall, white, and didn't show up when it mattered. she's the jordan klepper of the wnba. >> whoa, ronny, ronny, ronny, i'm going to hit you with my car and leave the scene. let's look at the stats, ronny. she scored 20 points. that's 4 more than michael jordan had in his rookie debut, which mathematically makes her stronger, faster, and better equipped to open a steakhouse than michael jordan! >> oh, you want to talk stats? >> it's right here. >> i have a stat right here you. jordan klepper didn't lose his virginity until you were 38! you're the goat of whatever that is. >> here's your stat: eat shit. moving on, we are officially 72 days away from the olympics in paris, and the organizers are finding themselves in deep doodie, literally. >> there is a huge effort to get the river seine fit for use in the olympic games. a report from earlier this month

said that bacteria, including pollution of fecal origin, was far higher than the river permitted. experts say that even a rainstorm could raise e. coli to an unacceptable level and olympic organizers still hope the river seine can be used for the swimming events. >> ooh, the river seine is filled with e.coli? that is gross! these athletes are going to pick up a disease at the olympics, it should be the old-fashioned way: unprotected sex in the olympic village. only way to do it. the only way to do it. >> wrong as usual, jordan. i think the olympics needs more e. coli! okay? because if you're a world class athlete, then prove it by pole vaulting with active diarrhea. >> you love e.coli, ronny. >> i love it. >> the last time i came to your house for a barbeque, you were sprinkling e.coli on chicken kebabs like salt bae. you know? >> yeah. >> your hospitality was for the birds, ronny. two stars. i was puking all night! >> yeah, well, i puke just from looking at your oblong head!

oblong face? is that how you say that? the point is, just like 4th of july at ronny's house, the olympics are going to be rife with e.coli. which brings us to: "j klepp's bet of the week," where you can pick which country will get the most e. coli in the 2024 olympics. brought to you by gambling. "gambling: start spending, you've already won." >> and don't forget to claim your 20% bonus boost by entering promo code "kleppersucks," all caps. >> i don't like that. i told you i didn't like that code! >> it's not you, it's a different klepper. >> fine, okay, that's -- >> just kidding, it's you. because you suck! >> i suck, you blow, who cares? we're all dead inside. get over it. let's talk about sports. >> all right, speaking of sports, a player on the kansas city chiefs is in some hot water after making the biggest mistake any football player could make: talking. >> some chiefs fans are feeling stunned this morning by the comments made by kicker harrison butker during the commencement speech at benedictine in atchison. >> butker claimed that a woman's most important role is that of a homemaker, and demanded that men be more masculine >> be unapologetic in your

masculinity. fight against the cultural emasculation of men. [boos] >> hey, i say we should listen to this kicker. they're the football players with the least amount of brain damage. i'm glad he's speaking up for emasculated men like jordan. congratulations, jordan. for the first time in your life, someone on the football team is speaking to you. you don't have to wear that fake varsity jacket anymore. >> [bleep] you, ronny, i told you that in confidence. moving to a new school is difficult. it was a natural way to make friends. [laughs] anyway, this kicker thing raises a larger problem. why do we have people kicking in american sports? americans handle balls with our hands, like ronny's mom. she does! >> wrong, jordan. you know my entire family has a foot fetish. >> true. >> which brings us to our bet everything wager of the evening: which useless position player will be next to wade into the culture war? as always, brought to you by: gambling. gambling: it will fix everything.

>> oh, speaking of gambling, let's move on to our final story. >> prosecutors in los angeles say shohei ohtani's former interpreter has agreed to plead guilty to stealing almost $17 million from the l.a. dodgers superstar. the u.s. attorney's office says ippei mizuhara used the money to pay off gambling debts and other personal expenses without ohtani's knowledge. >> this interpreter stole $17 million from ohtani? that settles it: interpreters should be outlawed. if you don't know the language, you should just have to guess. >> hard disagree, ronny. the problem isn't interpreters, it's languages. we should only have one. i suggest english. >> oh, big surprise. of course you suggest english, that's the only language your tiny brain can handle. the biggest head, the smallest brain. >> english is going to be the dominant global language for at least five more years. look, i'm speaking the major-league language here, why would i go back to triple-a and

learn finnish? >> finnish? that's not a real language, you dumbass! >> it is. it's what they speak in canada, ronny. read a book. but do it on your own time, because we're on to our big bet of the night: is this ohtani story yet another sign that america's normalization of gambling is corroding society? brought to you by gambling. remember gambling? bet now. live forever. well, we're out of time. join us next time on "sports war." we'll be debating michael jordan versus caitlin clark: who's more likely to contract e.coli? >> good night, america. gambling!
