[ harp trills ] we have a young man who is joining us here today to talk about stereotypes and the harm that they can bring. young man, what is your message? my message is, we can't control what people say. so we have to be smart about what we choose to believe. if one idiot says that a certain group "runs hollywood," look into it. with very minimal effort, you will find that "hollywood" is a multi-tiered industry run by tens of thousands of people from all over the world. in the past, jews were shut out of most professions. so they came to dominate vaudeville, which back then was considered too low-brow for good christians. those jews eventually moved west and started the first movie studios when movies were also considered work for the underclasses. and their descendants are now a decent percentage of the thousands

of people of all races that make hollywood run. this young man has said in plain words what so many of us in hollywood have been trying to get people to understand. to hear it all so plain, and so passionate. this kid thinks about things the way we all need to. you know what i think? i think this kid should run hollywood! yeah! [ cheers and applause ] whoa, whoa -- wait, what? whoa. -let him run hollywood! -yeah! give the kid a shot! -come on! -let him do it! god damn it. [ all chanting ] let the jew run it! let the jew run it! let the jew run it! let the jew run it!! let the jew run it! ♪♪ ♪ ♪ >> 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, kal penn!

[cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] >> kal: welcome to "the daily show!" i'm kal penn. i'm back for night two! now listen, after last night's show, this is very sweet, i got so many encouraging words from some of my political colleagues. and i wanted to read some of them for you. this is an email i got from speaker nancy pelosi. it says, "kal, if you don't donate $5 by tonight, we are all going to die." thank you, nancy, that was so touching. anyway, we've got a great show for you. our guest tonight is the foreign minister of pakistan! but first, let's get into the headlines! [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ okay, let's kick things off with

a big announcement from president joe biden. you remember during the 2020 campaign, biden said this. >> no more drilling on federal lands. period. period. period. period. >> "period! period! period! comma. because now biden has approved a major oil drilling project on federal land in alaska. [boos] which is disappointing, but hey, when you're that age, that's the only kind of drilling you can do. no, i'm kidding, i'm kidding. i'm kidding. this guy [bleep]. the crazy part about this drilling project is that they'll be installing a device called a thermosiphon that keeps the permafrost solid enough for drilling, while it simultaneously melts due to global warming. i guess conoco phillips has an irony division? i mean, keeping the permafrost alive so they can kill it

slowly, that's, like, some "silence of the lambs" serial killer shit. "would you [bleep] the planet? i'd [bleep] the planet." i worked at the white house. [cheers and applause] thank you. now listen, listen, the good news is that biden is also flip-flopping in a good way. because back in the day, biden used to think marijuana was a gateway drug. but now he's doing stuff like this. >> president biden is offering help to people who have a federal conviction for simple marijuana possession. they can now apply for a presidential pardon. to qualify, applicants must have been charged or convicted in federal court or d.c. superior court before october 6th of last year. >> kal: this is huge! and this is long overdue! [cheers and applause] yeah.

and look, this is a moment of special congrats to the advocates who have been pushing for this for so long. they really did it! they convinced someone with five decades of experience in washington to change his mind! that's not easy! that would be like convincing mitch mcconnell to let democrats appoint judges, or convincing chuck schumer that his glasses should be resting on the top of his nose. the top. in any case, if you're wondering what the oval office looks like now that joe biden is a total stoner, it probably looks something like this. it's the same! it's 2023. people who smoke weed don't put tapestries on their wall anymore. i mean, yeah, the portrait of george washington does glow in blacklight now, but that's it! mostly the same. anyway, let's move on to some science news. apparently, nasa is tracking an asteroid that could slam into earth on valentine's day in 2046.

which means that for new whoever does those sad valentines posts "i'm going to die alone" actually is! but if you are in a relationship, then in a way, it would be kind of beautiful to die on valentines day, you know? making sweet love with your partner one last time. or if you're married, laying in bed, too full from dinner to have sex, watching "paul blart" one last time. either way, super romantic. in other scientific news, researchers did a study on flamingos, and it turns out that flamingos form cliques, just like high schoolers. this is one of those studies where i feel like we need to know more about the scientist who did this study. because maybe flamingos just didn't want to hang out with them specifically. seriously that, though, this sounds terrible. it is tough enough being a flamingo. now you also have to deal with flamingo mean girls?

they must be so cruel. "do you see how short her neck is? oh, my god, it's giving emu! and look at her legs, they're a whole centimeter thick. it's, like, paging dr. cankles! i heard she got a beak enhancement, and the zookeeper paid for it. they're, like, totally [bleep], right?" wait, wait, she's coming over here, she's coming over here. hi, jenny! oh, my god, you know what, you look incredible! okay, bye! i literally hate her." [cheers and applause] think you. ridiculous. and finally, let's check in on my home state of new jersey. [cheers and applause] i'm sure they're not doing anything incredibly stupid. >> the city of newark is admitting it got scammed. earlier this year,

mayor ras baraka invited who he thought was the hindu nation of kailasa to city hall for a cultural trade agreement and to become sister cities. but it turns out, kailasa isn't a real nation, but rather the invention of a scam artist and fugitive who is from india who has been on the run since 2019. >> i have the immunity of non-prosecutable and immunity and protection of the adopted state. >> he was arrested there years earlier, accused of sexual assault charges by five women who say he abused them at a religious retreat. back in new jersey, a few days after this ceremony, the city says it realized it had been deceived, calling it, quote, "a regrettable incident." >> kal: jesus, newark! how can it entire city get catfished. not a single person realized that they never heard of this country before? not on a globe,

not at the olympics, not as a stage in "street fighter?" if you can find it as a cuisine on grove pub, it is not a real country. there must have been so many red flags! the biggest one being that somebody wanted to be sister cities with newark! although, to be fair, just cause a country was started by a sex criminal doesn't mean it's fake. just ask thomas jefferson. for more on this, please give it up for desi lydic! [cheers and applause] desi, what did you make of this story? >> oh. well, kal, um, as a white person, i would like to know what you think of this story. because for me, this is a little dicey, and i don't want to upset anybody with any statements about whether kailasa is a real country. >> kal: okay, well, it's not. it's not a real country, it's a cult.

>> right, right, right. but even so, i honor its culture and its rich traditions. because what is culture if not "cult-ure"? >> kal: desi, come on. look how they're dressed! does that look real to you? >> uh, yes? no? no. no. >> kal: no! no! those are just costumes! >> whoa, kal, their culture is not a costume. >> kal: that is literally a costume! desi, i understand what you are trying to do, you want to be an ally, i appreciate that. but kailasa not does deserve your allyship. its leader is a sexual predator. >> oh, absolutely. yes. and i condemn all sexual predators. at the same time, it is important to support diversity among sexual predators? >> kal: no! no, it's not! desi, stop. this is a cult, and they scammed

the city of newark! >> of course they did. yes. yes, they did. and they've been forced into cult behaviors by western imperialism, and isn't that the real scam? >> kal: no! no! well, yes, but no! you're confusing me now. hold on. there is no western imperialism against kailasa. there is no kailasa, there are no kailaseans. >> we say kailasian-x now. >> kal: no, we don't! desi, look, i am giving you permission to criticize this fake country. on behalf of brown people, it's okay! >> i'm not worried about brown people, kal. i'm worried about other white people. if i disrespect this fake nation, they'll make my real twitter a living hell. does kailasa look like a scammy cult! yes! do i trust white people on twitter to know the difference? no. which is why i am proud to announce that "the daily show"

hosted by kal penn is now also a sister city with kailasa! >> kal: what? no! no! no! ♪ ♪ don't put my name on that! don't bring me into this! >> you pulled me into this. i'm taking you down with me! >> kal: oh, my gosh, no! get out of here! desi lydic, everyone! next, i will be taking you on a tour of my favorite sport. we'll be right back.

[cheers and applause] >> kal: thank you. welcome back to "the daily show." a lot of people would be surprised to know that one of my favorite sports is nascar. now i know i don't look like your stereotypical nascar fan. but i also don't look like your stereotypical abercrombie & fitch homosexual. yet here we are. so what do i love about nascar? tatake a look. >> i know, you are looking at me and you are like, seriously, kal, you've been a nascar fan for 12 years?

yes, my fellow blue state libs. nascar has it all, danger can can, grilling, however this value is in whoever this guy is. wait, is that kid rock? >> [bleep]! leap! >> you get here on this track and you feel the rumble inside you, with those cards are going around, i'm getting chills just thinking about it right now. >> kal: i felt the rumble and my dick. >> yeah, exactly. >> kal: i wasn't mad about it. >> i'm not mad about it either. yes. >> kal: here's the deal, nascar is different from what you probably think. >> if you like people think it is just like a redneck thing. it kind of is but it is for everyone, you know? >> i am like -- i watch nascar since i was 12 or before then because of my parents going to nascar races. >> black people love racing. people may not realize how much african american love not just nascar, any form of racing. >> kal: bubble wallace is one of the biggest stars in the sport and he happens to agree. >> i think from the outside looking in, especially

minorities feel that the stigma has been there that they are not welcome, and i have always been like, that is not really true. i have been in nascar since my career, 20 years, yet, 20 years. >> kal: actually 29. i can tell you right now, there is no new jersey parent who would let their kid drive at 9. so i always get the question, what is electing an indian american actor? i would imagine it also drives you insane, what is it like being a black driver? so what is it like being a black driver? >> so news outlets, they have to get their viewership up, and the way they do it as "black driver." i don't walk around saying i'm a black driver. you embrace it, you go out and do what you do. >> kal: after i got my media clickbait, we moved onto an issue that everyday americans actually care about. a lot of people really want to know this. how do you pee in 400 miles? i can't go 45 minutes without having to go. >> have you ever been in a high adrenaline moment? >> kal: once.

>> to give you pee at that moment? >> kal: no. so you are really in the zone? >> and they always say, if you do pee in the car, you have to be there monday morning to clean it up. you want to clean it up? >> kal: you don't have someone there for that? >> they don't want to do it. ♪ ♪ >> kal: here's another stereotype. drivers aren't real athletes, they just lazily said they're making left. >> the athleticism sign of it to me, the heart rates peaked at about 170 and during the race, you are around the 140 area, that is a high heart rate for a sustained period of time, hydration is huge, i can lose up to 7 pounds in a race car on a hot day. >> kal: in one race? can i drive this race? thank you. thank you. i appreciate that. and the drivers aren't the only jocks on the track. meet the former college athlete who trained as a tire changer after being recruited in nascar's diversity initiative. everyone knows how to change a tire -- well, i don't know how to change a tire. what is the big deal about changing tires?

>> is just a matter of how fast you can do it. one tire contact may be two, three seconds. every time, i think two turns in a second cost a lot of money for teams if you make a mistake. >> kal: as someone who was recently told he had a good physique, i knew that joining the pit crew would be easy. so the jack manis checking the makar, jack that shit up, you guys get some gas, you grab the other car up and you bring it up like that's come and take it over there, and everyone is like, you are going to weep, so i'm bringing that over here, and then i'm like, great job, and the driver takes out. we would knock the race and we would make a lot of money. >> in theory. i think we missed a couple of steps. that is a penalty. >> kal: after crushing it with the pit crew, i wanted to see if there were any indoor jobs with air conditioning. >> there were so much more data and science that goes into it than i think anyone ever realizes when they see cars going around in circles. the data come from the cars and the cars has its speed, it's got

its rpm, and the year that it's in. as the car lose? what is it spending outdoors a tie? we look at where the driver is doing with the wheel and we tried to tell him, you need to turn the wheel less or you need to be on the gas more. >> kal: bass sounds like cheating, tom brady fans would love this. >> absolutely. >> kal: is a number crunching genius, jr represents the new nascar and has a front row seat to the sport's evolution. >> my husband and i talk about it all the time, even myself working for bubba, i think a lot of other people have thought that this part was out of reach. not only because they couldn't get into the sport but also because they wouldn't be accepted by the sport and i think being out there and being vocal is super important and i never thought 12 year old me would be doing it. >> kal: while, this was 12 year old me, and he would have been terrified by what i'm about to do. >> kal: where do i connect the bluetooth for the podcast? >> i wish. these things are meant to go fast. everything we don't need, we pull ou out of the car. >> kal: i can't drive six, is that a problem question might

>> no, you are good. put it into fourth gear. >> kal: to only the snowflake drivers get the push since we can't drive stick? >> pretty much. >> kal: here we go! >> kal: this is real inclusion. nascar making space for athletes like me who can't drive stick. >> pumping the gas, pumping the gas. the left pedal, push it in. all the way down. in the middle. >> kal: okay. >> push it forward. >> there you go. >> kal: all good! ♪ ♪ wflush whoo! i was getting into it and then after i peed my pants it was such a relief. [bleep] [bleep] no! okay, that was fun and i lost 2 pounds but there is a more social way to enjoy racing. hey, guys. can i come up?

>> yes! >> kal: thank you! this is the infield, where families camp out for the weekend to watch the races up close. >> are you thirsty? >> kal: sure. thank you, cheers, thank you, guys. how long have you been coming here? >> 23 years. >> we are all family. >> kal: you definitely have the best for you. that is really right nascar is all about. family, speed, and crushing beers on top of an rv with a group of new friends. >> cheers! ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] >> kal: all right! stay tuned because when we come back, the foreign minister of pakistan will be joining me. so don't go away!

[cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ how are you? good to see you! ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] welcome! >> thank you. thank you for having me. >> kal: of course, thanks for being here. for folks who don't know, your mom was former prime minister benazir bhutto, who was assassinated in 2007.

but now you are the youngest foreign minister in pakistan's history. you are 34. >> that's true. >> kal: and you are a very young country. i think the median age in pakistan is only 20, something like that. >> 60% of our population is beneath the age of 35. >> kal: wow. so how does your age create an opportunity for leadership in a country that's so young? >> oh, that is an interesting question. i think that most of, if you look at the politics in pakistan, the political landscape, it's one or two generations above me that are the main players, so i am sure that, given that i am so young, i bring a unique perspective. and i think that's so important because everybody who is in power right now, in positions of influence and making decisions for our country, they will live for ten, 20 years. we have to think about sort of the long picture and how climate change and poverty and all of the income inequality and discrimination that people are facing across the country, how are we going to address those issues in the long-term.

i would like to say i have proven over the course of time, whether i was in opposition or as foreign minister that age is just a number and we can still get quite a lot done. >> kal: so it is timely having you here tonight. right now, pakistan is facing some unrest over the imminent arrest of former prime minister imran khan. mr. khan says that your government wants him arrested so that he is disqualified from upcoming elections. is that true? >> okay, so unfortunately, pakistan is facing a perfect storm. not only do we have heightened partisanship and political polarization, we are also facing an economic crisis, we are facing a security threat and security crisis in the fallout, the fall of the government, the increasing terrorist attacks that are taking place with increasing frequency in pakistan. we just faced the biggest climate catastrophe of our history, where a third of the landmass of our country was

under water. and in all of these -- we are facing simultaneous crises, we have the question of mr. khan, who believes that the pakistani constitution doesn't apply to him, the pakistani law doesn't apply to him, that he can get up and leave, resign from parliament, run away from the system. in this particular instance, it is not a question of me wanting to arrest mr. khan. i come from a family who faced genuine arrest in the face of military dictatorships. i would never want any politician in my country or any country to go to jail for political reasons. in mr. khan's case, he is under the threat of arrest because of his ego. he says that the courts are saying that he has to come to court and fight his case, whatever cases are against him. he says, i am imran khan, and i am too important and i will not turn up to court. and what we have seen over the last couple of weeks has been a complete mockery of the judicial system in pakistan, the rule of law, the constitution in pakistan, where had he gone to

court, there was probably no reason he would have to fear imminent arrest. because he has violated court orders time and time again, finally, the courts have instructed the police to produce him before court. but he has called on his workers, on his supporters to come and confront the police. the police went to him with no intention of violence, as you may be aware, pakistan's history is full of politicians who have gone to prison, right, wrong, or otherwise. in this case, mr. khan is refusing to even present himself before court. he is refusing to defend himself, i am sure if he is innocent, he would be able to clear his name through the judicial system. so we are caught in a situation where there is this political chaos playing out in the streets. and distracting from the real issues that are affecting everyday pakistanis. >> kal: what are the plans of addressing climate longer term? you being a young leader, i

would imagine you feel this issue a lot more than others might. >> first of all, i am very proud that my mother, she was the first pakistani politician to have climate on her agenda, and i often think that if we had started addressing things in 2,007 or '09, we wouldn't be here today. but despite all of that, i was not the most hyper of climate activists. okay, i got it, we'll do some wind, we'll do some solar and hopefully things will be fine. my worldview changed overnight when my home, the villages around it, the people that i know, it was suddenly just water as far as the eye could see. and now, yeah, frankly, go, greta. [applause] until it doesn't happen to you, you don't really know what is coming. and now that it has happened to us, the thought that this could happen regularly, it devastates me, because i have never felt so

disempowered in that moment. it was the most difficult period in my public life and it is not on the agenda, it is not in the media conversation, but on the ground, we are feeling this. >> kal: this is why i wanted to ask you about it. i thought it was good work you are doing. >> thank you. >> kal: thank you for joining us. and thank you for your candor. i really appreciate it. thank you. i appreciate it. [cheers and applause] okay. we are going to take a quick break but we'll be right back after this! thank you so much.
