hey. remember when we were planning our honeymoon, and you wanted to go to hawaii, and i wanted to go to mexico? yeah. i was definitely right. oh, brother. what am i gonna do? i'm gonna hang it up at home. i don't have a lot of art. ♪ ♪ >> announcer: from new york city, the only city in america, it's the show that invented news. this is "the daily show" with your host, sarah silverman! [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪

>> sarah: welcome to "the daily show!" i'm sarah silverman. it's the second night of me hosting the show and i am hard as a rock. it is very fun to be in charge of a late night show. i threw a stapler at an intern today, and there was just nothing he could do about it. it's just been really fun! we've got a great show for you tonight. so let's get into headlines! ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] let's start with today's big news about the 2024 presidential race: someone has offered stepped forward to run against trump for the republican nomination and she is a lady. >> breaking news this morning. former south carolina governor nikki haley is now officially running for president. she is the first republican to challenge trump for that nomination. she obviously served as his

ambassador to the united nations. she announced as much just in a video a few moments ago. >> you should know this about me, i don't put up with bullies. and when you kick back, it hurts them more if you're wearing heels. >> sarah: 1997 called. it wants that joke back. oh, wait, it just called again. it wants this joke back. i actually thought this was a great ad, and i'm excited to buy whatever pharmaceutical product that nice lady was selling. this is going to be a tough race for nikki haley. right now, she's pulling at just 1% and that is pretty bad. even mike pence is at 2%. mike pence's noose rope is at 5%. [cheers and applause] but you do get some advantages if you run against your former

boss. "my opponent's economic plan is terrible and when he poops in his office we all heard him go "ow ow ow ow!" i love political satire. it's really my lane. whoever wins this election will be commander in chief of the u.s. army. although, based on how recruiting is going lately, that's gonna be, like, 20 people. >> the u.s. army is trying to recover from its worst recruiting year in decades. and officials say those recruiting woes are the result of traditional hurdles. young people don't want to die or get injured, they don't want to deal with the stress of army life, and they don't want to put their lives on hold. but the recruiting obstacles don't seem to be rooted in concerns about the covid-19 vaccine or about "wokeness" as some republicans claim. >> sarah: only republicans would have the freaking lips to blame the lack of army recruitment on wokeness, when the number one reason is that people really

like not dying. these gen z kids are just like, "why would i go get shot in the middle east when i can get shot in the comfort of my own middle school?" i am kidding. that doesn't happen in america. how is the military woke? help me here. they are still soldiers. they are not going to be an battle like, "i don't think this is a safe space. trigger warning, i'm going to pull my trigger." but this drop in recruitment is coming at a really perilous time for america. if we don't have a strong military, the balloons win. i think recruitment is down because there are too many pop star militias. young people would rather be in the bts army or the rihanna navy or the phoebe bridgers

mujahaddin. [applause] it is so weird. why is everyone so obsessed with whether or not something is "going well?" anyway, let's move on to our next story: what are god's pronouns? >> the church will stop being referred to as he. the church of england is considering whether to break with tradition and use gender-neutral terms for the almighty instead. >> joining us now in the studio, anglican priest charlie bell. is our father actually a woman? >> what an interesting question. >> sarah: is it? isn't really, really an interesting question? i think god has bigger things on his mind then pronouns. i mean, come on, the super bowl just happened. you think those touchdowns and score themselves? and really, who cares about this? there are actually people out there who really need god to be a man? god is the embodiment of all that is good and merciful and

holy and he totally likes girls! and he only created them because he's really into boobs. it doesn't matter, god is fake. it is like debating whether bigfoot wears reeboks. and finally, today is valentine's day, the day that flowers find out which house they're gonna die in. seriously, why do we give people roses? they are already dying the second you cut them. you are basically giving someone a hospice patient. "love them while you can. just try to keep them hydrated and keep them as comfortable as possible." but there is a valentine's gift that's even worse than roses:

stealing people;s money. >> on this valentine's day, the fbi and federal trade commission want you to keep an eye out for romance scams. officials say they will scour dating websites, dating apps, chat rooms, build a relationship with you. the goal of accessing your financial or other personal information. >> the ftc says romance scams cost nearly 70,000 consumers $1.3 billion last year. speak with the fbi sees a large percentage of elderly victims. >> let's talk red flags. this one might hurt, but if they're too good to be true. gorgeous photos, perfect job, amazing lifestyle make a scammer's job of luring you easier. if they seem genuine, sweet, caring, talking about a future together a little more quickly than typical relationships, they could be drawing you close to take advantage of you. >> sarah: that's right. you got to be careful out there. if anyone literally ever says anything nice to you, call the police! and another red flag is if the person has an amazing lifestyle,

a perfect job, gorgeous photos. oh, my god. am i a scammer? [cheers and applause] for more on these romance scams, we turn to michael kosta. michael. [cheers and applause] it is so sad to hear about this especially on valentine's day. >> i know, sarah, but every holiday is an opportunity for scams. last president's day, a guy on facebook claimed he was abraham lincoln and asked me for money. which was clearly a scam, because i had already just wired the real abraham lincoln $10,000. there's only one lincoln, buddy. how stupid do you think i am? >> sarah: you're very smart, michael. but let's focus on the romantic scams, because i'm especially worried about how they target the elderly. >> yeah, the elderly are easy targets, because they're so

vulnerable and they're so horny. honestly, i'm scared for my own loved ones. that's why i've started catfishing my grandmother. >> sarah: you're catfishing your own grandmother? >> as a preventative measure, yes. the best way i can protect my 97-year-old grandmother from being scammed is to scam her myself. this way, she feels loved, and i put all the money she sends me right back into her bank account. it's the same way i stop dogs from eating discarded chicken bones lying on the street by eating them myself. [coughing] >> sarah: i am sure the dogs are grateful. how does catfishing your grandmother even worked? take me through this. >> it works the same as normal catfishing. you create a profile of a charming but believable person. in my case, "miguel kostavo, international art dealer and king of brazil." first, you start liking their posts, then you start the dms. "hey, i like what i see.

show me what you got under that sweater you knit yourself. here's what i'm packing." >> sarah: whoa, gross! you send your grandma nudes? >> well, not my nudes, obviously! i am not a creep. i send her pics of guys i find online. >> sarah: phew, i thought you exchanged nudes. >> no, i mean, she sends me her nudes. >> sarah: gross! >> i know, it's gross! i don't like it either. i am glad she is using the yoga classes i got her for christmas, but still. i don't want to see that! just like i don't want to spend hours texting with her about how her grandson never calls, or have her explain the plot of every episode of "the yellowstone." it's just "yellowstone," grandma! i don't have a choice, sarah. as michael kosta, i can't keep my grandma offline. but as miguel kostavo, i can make sure her money stays where it belongs: in the bank account

that i'm going to inherit one day. >> sarah: i guess, in it's own way, this is actually a loving thing, michael. i hope all the men out there love their grandmas enough to seduce them. >> thank you, sarah. i really am the best grandson -- sorry, i got to -- my mom is dming me. "please send $5,000, i'm having my third kidney removed." >> sarah: thank you so much, michael. [cheers and applause] all right, when we come back, i'm gonna find out what people love about the jews. so don't go away. [cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause] >> sarah: welcome back to "the daily show." my guest tonight is the first gen zer elected to congress. he's here to talk about his journey from gun reform organizer to legislator, representing what he calls "the mass shooting generation." please welcome florida representative maxwell frost. [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪

[cheers and applause] maxwell frost, congratulations on being elected to congress the same year you are old enough to rent a car. >> there you go, yep. >> sarah: who are you bonding within congress? i'm guessing the squad, obvs, but any oldies? >> yeah. i don't know if i want to say their day because i'm calling them oldies. >> sarah: any mature? >> so many people who i have been able to connect with, folks who have been doing great work. barbara lee, maxine waters, pramila jayapal. jamie raskin. so many amazing people out there, i wouldn't call them oldies, but senior members of congress who are doing amazing work. >> sarah: they are not oldies, they are goodies. >> they are goodies. there you go. >> sarah: you have been -- i find this so impressive and inspiring, especially to people out here -- you have been a gun reform advocate since you were

15 years old. [cheers and applause] spurred on by sandy hook, which was in connecticut. you are from florida. and you organized the march for our lives. [cheers and applause] >> i have my pin on too. >> sarah: it is the five-year anniversary of the parkland shooting. there was a school shooting just last night at michigan state. now that you are in congress, what do you think can be done? how can we break the cycle? >> we saw congress pass a bipartisan bill to help end gun violence last year. it's not everything we need but it's a good step forward. the fact of the matter is, we need a governing majority that it's actually going to care about this issue. this word "bipartisanship" is supposed to mean what everyone can agree on. most nra members and republicans are for universal background checks, but the definition of bipartisanship in congress means what the nra will allow, and

because they are a front for the gun lobby, they have these politicians bought off and they are unwilling to stand for what the people want so we can't get things like background checks passed. there's a lot of work that needs to be done. a lot of it involves kicking people out and replacing them with morally just leaders who give a damn about childrens' lives. [cheers and applause] i think we have an opportunity. >> sarah: overturning citizens united would certainly help. [cheers and applause] >> 100%. really the issue to end all issues. >> sarah: that is the big one and that is the root of so much of this. now that you have seen how congress operates from the inside, are you hopeful? do you see that there is change possible? are you excited about america's future or is it depressing? >> both. [laughs] i will say, i am very hopeful. a lot of times, on the outside, you might say, there's only a small group of good people and everyone else is a corporate hack and they don't care about everyone. but having conversations with my colleagues, i have been so

surprised by so many people who come i get in a conversation with them and i find out what they are about and their values, and i am like, okay, you are actually a lot more progressive and forward thinking than other folks might think. the problem is, people have smaller goals because they understand the landscape and the battlefield that we have in congress right now. i think when we show those politicians and everyone that good policy equals good politics, then i think people will get the courage they need to stand up for what we need in this country. [cheers and applause] >> sarah: more of this. i mean, i think a lot of gen zers tend to not trust the government. how do you think you can change their minds? >> well, i understand, first off, you know, this is something -- running for congress, i had to think about the fact that during the black lives matter protest, i was teargas, mace, jailed for nonviolent protests, now i represent those same streets in swear the fast and i'm a part of this instrument causes a lot

of harm and i get it. i think part of what we need to do is make government more accessible, bridging the gap between cool and consciousness and that is a really good way we can bring younger people into the fold. march our allies had a great job of doing that, what the movement was a cool thing to be at the movement and marches come a cool thing to register to vote. the more we can get our culture intertwined with the politics, i think it will lead to more young people getting involved. >> sarah: if the marches could let -- translate to votes more directly, it would be ideal. >> yes. >> sarah: you know, maybe election day off would be a nice starch. >> exactly. [cheers and applause] i agree. and voter turnout is up for young people. we have a record high of youth voter turnout. it's never been the largest piece of the pie but young people are voting at higher numbers than any other generation when they were our age and half of gen z can't even vote yet. we aren't where we want to be but what we are going in the right direction. >> sarah: you brought pussy

ass bitch, it is now an congressional record because of you. so i just want to thank you for that. >> that was a bout a certain person too. >> sarah: it was -- it was about a pussy ass bitch. what has been so inspiring about you is that you got involved as a teenager and how that can manifest into real change. and so i think it is exciting. gen z is so exciting to me, because they are so motivated, they realize their power, and that can really change things. i mean, trying to get gen z to trust the government, how about just trying to get gen z to be the government? [cheers and applause] >> it is exciting. i think we see a lot of young candidates running across the country. it's not like gen z was waiting to go to congress, i am the olgen zer can be.

the first chance we got, we jumped at the opportunity. we want to be part of the solution. we don't want to be the only people at the table but congress does not look like our country right now. gen z and millennials make up a third of the country. we are nowhere near a third of government, both local and federal. so we need more people to run for office. yes, congress but also city council, county commissioner, the seats that are not lower, they are closer to the people and closer to the decisions that matter on a daily basis. >> sarah: yeah, being involved in the midterm elections and everywhere down the ballot is essential and i feel like the right realizes that. >> yeah, they do. they are more organized around that then we are, that is why they have played this long game up taking over the state legislatures. it is why we woke up last year and roe vs. wade was gone. that is a plan that has been a long time in the making. so democrats i feel like, sometimes, we are too obsessed with the short term goals. ready to be about power building

in these communities long term. not going to happen overnight but that is how we are going to wake up one morning and have our freaking rights back. [cheers and applause] >> sarah: okay. we are going to take a quick break but we will be right back after this. [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪
