[cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] >> jordan: yeah! [cheers and applause] welcome to "the daily show!" i am jordan klepper! oh, oh! [cheers and applause] and we are here in chicago, everybody! [cheers and applause] all week! all week! i got to say, this week has been lovely for me personally because i spent some seriously formative years living in chicago doing comedy. [cheers and applause] so yes, thank you. this city is in my blood. and by that, i mean i suffer

from a duck's hotdog-induced cholesterol problem. worth it! but we're here to talk about the democratic national convention, so let's get into "indecision 2024!" [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ yesterday was night two of the dnc and the positive vibes were still going strong. people were dancing, they were singing, they were cheering, they were... putting invisalign in. [laughter] poor bastard. he's thinking, "there's 20,000 people in this arena, there's no way the camera's going to be pointed at me for the two seconds while i take out my invisalign." in front of the whole world! you know his dentist was like, "the best part of invisalign is that no one will ever know you have it!" [applause] i mean, who is the cameraman who

staked out this guy for 30 hours just to get that two second shot? this is a convention, not a "planet earth" shoot. "watch the aging liberal slowly prepare his mouth to attract a mate." now the actual purpose of the convention is to officially nominate the party's presidential ticket. and they do that through a state roll-call. here's what that looked like at the republican convention a few weeks ago. >> pursuant to the announcement of the delegation and the rules and proceedings of this convention, oklahoma, 43 votes, president trump. >> jordan: okay. i get it. the lady who runs an orphanage counts the votes and that's that! but last night, the democrats changed things up a bit. >> georgia, how do you cast you vote? ♪ ♪ >> yeah!

♪ ♪ ladies and gentlemen, we are here tonight to officially nominate kamala harris for president! ♪ ♪ another round of shots! get loud! dnc, turn out for what! ♪ ♪ >> jordan: wow! whoa! woo-hoo! i didn't know politics was so lit! i'm going to start voting! i just know that when lil jon wrote this song, he was thinking to himself, "this will absolutely rip at the 2024 democratic national convention." i'd love to hear someone explaining to the older white delegates who lil jon is. "he's a rapper, mom. you know, that musical genre invented by lin-manuel miranda." they actually had a dj spinning songs from each state as they came up. he played motown philly for pennsylvania, a chappell roan

song for her home state of missouri. [cheers and applause] iowa probably had "happy birthday" or some shit. not a big music state. personally, i can't wait to see my home state of michigan show up. ["lose yourself" plays] >> jordan: oh, oh, yeah! [cheers and applause] palms are sweaty, mom's spaghetti! you got the mic, michigan, make me proud! >> michigan, how do you cast your vote? >> this november, we're in it together, michigan cast three present -- [stumbles] -- 125 votes. >> jordan: gah! michigan, what are you doing? you embarrassed us in front of illinois! [cheers and applause] oh, michigan! [cheers and applause] come on!

michigan, how did you mess that up? you can't say a simple number, but you know how to say "ypsilanti?" come on! this is why you go to rehearsal, ladies! you literally only had one shot and you missed your chance to blow -- this opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo! [cheers and applause] you know what, let's see if illinois did any better. ♪ ♪ >> the great state of illinois, the prairie state, home of four presidents, including president barack obama! [cheers and applause] the birthplace of skyscrapers, and the adopted home of superman. [laughter] >> jordan: okay. started out strong. seems like a pretty steep drop

off from presidents and skyscrapers to "the adopted home of a made up comic book character." you had nothing in between that? like michael jordan? i don't know. [cheers and applause] come on, j.b.! j.b., come on! last time i checked, there's no superman steakhouse in chicago. for more on the dnc roll call, let's go live now to the illinois delegation with desi lydic! [cheers and applause] desi. [cheers and applause] desi, i got to know what you think. "the adopted home of superman"? what do you make of that choice? >> that was a huge missed opportunity, jordan. the committee claims this was the best they could come up with, but there's so many better options when you're talking

about a great state like illinois! [cheers and applause] >> jordan: right, obviously, of course. so what would you have gone with? >> well, i've been here since monday, so i'm officially an expert on illinois history. how about: "illinois, home of the notorious serial killer john wayne gacy!" [cheers and applause] >> jordan: i don't think that would have played, desi. >> okay, okay, or: "illinois: where four of our last ten governors went to prison!" [cheers and applause] >> jordan: desi, no, i don't think that one's better. >> okay, fine, what about: "illinois: in the winter, you'll freeze your tits off!" [cheers and applause] >> jordan: okay, i think we're good. desi lydic, everybody. [cheers and applause]

let's move on. i want to move on. because after the roll call, it was time for the speeches. and the headliners were barack and michelle obama. >> america, hope is making a comeback! [cheers and applause] >> america is ready for a new chapter. america is ready for a better story. we are ready for a president kamala harris! [cheers and applause] >> jordan: you know, i almost forgot how charming and inspirational the obamas are! frankly, it's a shot of adrenaline to see these masters of the craft. you sort of want to sit in it. i almost don't want to listen to anybody else. but you know what? the democrats have been telling us they have a deep bench. so let's see these exciting up-and-comers tap into the energy and the charisma of the

obamas. >> in my state, we like things spicy. a little chili on everything, a little kick in our campaign. and let me tell you, we are feeling en fuego right now. [laughter] >> jordan: you know what, maybe another quick hit of that obama charm for a sec. >> we believe that true freedom gives each of us the right to make decisions about our own life -- how we worship, what our family looks like, how many kids we have, who we marry. and we believe that freedom requires us to recognize that other people have the freedom to make choices that are different than ours.

that's okay! >> jordan: ooh! [cheers and applause] oh, oh. oh! [cheers and applause] oh! oh, that's the good stuff. you know? inject that "hope and changey" shit into my veins! whoa! but i can't just get high off these guys all night. there's other product out there, like kamala harris's husband doug emhoff. [cheers and applause] yeah. why don't i give him a chance to touch my heart with his moving story of the first time he called kamala for a date. >> i got kamala's voice mail and i just started rambling. "hey, it's doug." [laughter]

>> jordan: yeah, yeah, that sure is a doug. has there ever been a more "guy named doug" in history? if your name's doug, this is who you are. but maybe we're asking too much of doug. he's a political spouse! you don't expect a political spouse to be able to rile up a crowd. >> i want to know, i want to know, who's going to tell him, who's going to tell him that the job he's currently seeking might be just one of those black jobs? [cheers and applause] >> jordan: ooh! that's not a doug! not an ounce of doug on it! don't the democrats have anyone else who can tap into that cool obama swagger? >> please welcome senate majority leader chuck schumer. ♪ ♪

>> jordan: no, no. that's a doug. that is a doug. i'm sorry, but when you see these two up on stage, it's very clear that for all the talk democrats have about not looking back, they sure love to live in 2008. and frankly, who can blame them? nobody else in their party can capture their vision of the future, or speak to their values, and perhaps most importantly, nobody else gets under trump's skin in just the right way. >> there is the childish nicknames, the crazy conspiracy theories. this weird obsession with crowd sizes. [cheers and applause] >> jordan: oh. oh. oh, oh. oh, oh. yeah. i see what he did there.

yeah, yeah, that's brutal. that's the second time this summer the secret service has failed to protect trump from a lethal attack. [cheers and applause] for more on the dick joke heard round the bean, let's go live to ronny chieng. ronny! [cheers and applause] ronny, i got to say, if you get online or on tv, everyone is talking about that dick joke. >> that's right, jordan. that's the new democratic messaging. "weird" is out. "trump's got a small penis" is in. >> jordan: oh, okay. so that's it? they're not using "weird" anymore? >> no, no. sorry for the confusion. it's both. his penis is small and weird. >> jordan: oh, okay, all right. [cheers and applause] so that's it?

no policy? it's just going to be immature innuendo from now on? >> yes, the dick jokes are a major attack line and they're only going to get bigger. [cheers and applause] then smaller, then after a brief refractory period of up to 15 minutes, huge again. [cheers and applause] so right now, it's just a hand gesture. next week, they're going to say "the border wall isn't the only thing trump can't get up." [cheers and applause] and by election night, obama's going to be like, "this guy's dick is small!" >> jordan: okay, but so what? trump will just deny it. >> jordan, that's not going to be enough. obama knows this game plan. he's going to say "prove it! show us the girth certificate!" [cheers and applause] >> jordan: i would be careful,

ronny. trump might actually whip out his genitals. >> if he does, that would be a micro-aggression. [airhorn] see how easy this is? it's not hard at all. just like trump's penis. [airhorn] [cheers and applause] >> jordan: okay, look, i don't think it's going to be effective to ignore policy and just accuse your opponents of having small dicks. i mean, whatever happened to "when they go low, we go high"? >> oh, yeah, whatever happened to that brilliant 2016 strategy that totally worked out for them? face it, jordan. taking the moral high ground doesn't work anymore. just like trump's dick! [airhorn] >> jordan: great political discourse. ronny chieng, everybody. when we come back, we try to interview tim walz. so don't go away. [cheers and applause]
