[music playing] [music - bruce springsteen, "rosalita"] rosalita, jump a little higher. se orita, come sit by my fire. i just want to be your lover, ain't no liar. rosalita, you're my stone desire. >> announcer: from the most trusted journalists at comedy central, it's america's only source for news! this is "the daily show" with your host, ronny chieng!

[cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ >> ronny: thank you! thank you! welcome to "the daily show"! i'm ronny chieng, without so much to talk about tonight. rudy giuliani screams into the void, people are reading porn sites for the comments? and lewis black is here, he seems really mad about something, so let's get right into it. another installment of "indecision 2024". [cheers and applause] let's kick things off with breaking news out of the north carolina's governor race where the republican candidate is mark robinson, a hard court maga conservative who is on the record with statements like this: >> there's no reason anybody anywhere in america should be telling any child about transgenderrism, homosexuality, any of that filth, and yes, i

called it filth. ain't nothing but men and women, eight but two genders. >> ronny: this is the worst nutty professor reboot ever. [laughter] it looks like this guy is pretty anti-"the." and if there's one thing that history has taught us, it's one a politician is this outspoken about how gross gay entrance people are, there will be nothing in his internet history that will embarrass him at all. in three... two... one... >> shocking new details about the republican running for governor of battleground north carolina. the state's current lieutenant, mark robinson. cnn investigation finds that robinson for years posted on the porn site darting in 2008. >> in the form of the website, robinson rode "i like watching [bleep] on girl porn! that's [bleep] hot! it takes the man out while leaving the man in. and yeah, i'm a perv too!"

>> ronny: i guess there are more than two genders when it's time to jerk it. it says that right in the bible, right? if you couldn't read it it's because the pages were stuck together. look, this is not going to play well with his face, his political base, not the base of -- whatever. [laughter] is there anything else he said on these sites? >> robinson called himself a quote "black nazi" and describing then-president barack obama writing "i take hitler over any of the shit that's in washington right now." it even goes beyond that. another disturbing post, robinson defended slavery writing "slavery is not that bad and i wish they would bring slavery back. i would certainly buy a few." >> ronny: so this guy called himself a nazi who likes hitler and slavery? i take it back, i think maybe his base will still like him.

the whole thing kind of cancels out, you know what i mean? but this is the craziest combination of scandals i've ever seen. but the most insane part of this is that he said all of this stuff in the comment section of a porn site! [laughter] nobody should be writing in the comment section of a porn site! you know what you should be commenting on a porn site? nothing! nothing! you aren't there to make fri friends! you're spending way too much time on porn sites if you are getting into your views on slavery. most people are there to watch porn and you're like "here's my problem with the emancipation proclamation." however, if you are a politician and you just have to comment on nudeafrica.com, instead of nazi stuff, take it uplifting like

"once i'm done, let's work together to solve the housing crisis!" but let's move on from mark robinson to the guy who called him better than martin luther king. it's donald trump. last night he held a rally in long island, otherwise known as the florida of new york. and i know you're thinking is new york a swing state? no, it's not, but trump just wanted to go someplace where people were wearing more bronzer than him. at the rally, trumpeted his usual rant about how new york has turned into a third world hell-whole come into purpose point he brought out a new york icon that is decayed beyond all recognition, rudy giuliani. >> god bless donald j. trump, his wonderful family! i pray to god that he keeps them alive! no more attacks! no more attacks! no more! stop it! if there's anybody behind it, i'll find them! i did it to the mafia, i can do

it to them! if you will are behind it, i'm looking at you and i'm going to get you! >> ronny: are you good to drive, bro? [laughter] i mean, rudy is so feral, i'm worried rfk jr. will put him in his trunk. but you heard rudy giuliani. hey, if you're the person who keeps trying to assassinate trump, he wants you to stop it! stop it! you bad assassin! stop it, he's coming to get you! he's going to get you, and good luck trying to outrun rudy giuliani on three whiskeys. [laughter] one of the big stories of the night was that trump said he's going to visit springfield, ohio, and not for their lovely attractions like buck creek state park or any of the other stuff i saw on their wikipedia page. no, trump is going to springfield so he can continue to spread ball-shit lies about haitian immigrants eating cats. even though journalists up and

looking into the original reports and surprise, they are all falling apart. >> the woman behind a facebook post credited with launching the baseless array speaking out to nbc news. she sets her claim that a neighbor's missing cat may have been taken by haitian neighbors was wrong, now saying she had no firsthand knowledge of any such incidents. lee telling me "i must up royally." >> ronny: w whoopsie doopsie! sorry, i set off a race war in the middle of a presidential election, that's totally my bad! this is why the bad idea to let our politics be driven by random shit people post on facebook. facebook should not be considered a news source. it's a place you go to cai images of what jesus would look like as a shrimp. and that's not the only story that's been debunked. for member the ohio woman who said her haitian neighbors stole her cat? any updates on that? >> the journal even tracked down this springfield woman you see on your screen.

she had reported that her cat was missing and that she believed her migrant neighbors were to blame. well, the trump campaign reportedly pointed to her story as an example, but that woman's cat, miss sassy, was later found in her own basement a few days later, and the woman acknowledged her mistake and said she apologized to her neighbors. >> ronny: the cat was in the basement the whole time! here's a little tip for anyone out there with a missing pet. before you accuse your haitian neighbors of stealing them, maybe you could first try looking around your house. [laughter] so, you might imagine -- [cheers and applause] you might imagine that j.d. vance would apologize for spreading these lies, but that's not what happened when he was confronted with the truth. >> why are you continuing to double and triple down on these baseless claims? >> i trust my constituents more than i do the american media

that has shown no interest in what's happened in springfield until we started sharing cat memes on the internet, which is disgraceful that the american media ignored this town, and that's the most important part. >> ronny: is that the most important? i mean... so we are saying it's okay to say things that are bull-shit in order to get people to focus on other things that aren't? this is going to revolutionize the way i write resumes. okay, i wasn't the ceo of microsoft, but... how else would you have noticed that i'm proficient in excel? [laughter] although, in a way, vance 'splendid work, because lying about this did bring attention to another bigger issue: that these guys are all super racist. very sneaky, j.d. for more on this, let's go live to springfield, ohio, with our very own troy iwata. [cheers and applause]

troy! holy shit, what happened to you? >> well, i interviewed miss sassy the cat, and just like her name implies, she really is a [bleep] bitch. >> ronny: you interviewed the cat? why? >> because this whole story didn't make any sense to me. trump supporter's being racist, j.d. vance being in unlikable attention seeking ass-whole? it doesn't add up. it's pretty clear to me what happened. miss sassy is a talking cat who has gone girled herself and blamed it on the haitians. >> ronny: why would she do all that? >> because she's a cat. when i called her out on it she started crying and said she hasn't been herself since she was kidnapped by venezuelans who try to give her gender reassignment surgery, and i said that's ball-shit and you know

that's bull-shit, sassy, she did this. >> ronny: i can't believe she brought a whole state to an anti-immigrant frenzy. >> she's a diabolical slut. i have received some info. miss sassy has been kidnapped by isis and they say they are going to converted to islam and must trump wins the election. >> ronny: oh, my god. who wrote that report? >> now that i'm looking at it, it does look like miss sassy's handwriting. sassy! does anybody have a spray bottle with acid in the it? >> ronny: all look for one. troy iwata, everybody. [applause] when we come back, lewis black is here, so don't go away. [cheers and applause]

"presidential elections suck ass." i have to stay drunk from april to november just to get through it, which is two weeks longer than i'm normally drunk. but this election sucks extra ass, because it might have huge consequences for our country, and it all comes down to turning out one crucial voting bloc: young people. sticky, disgusting young people. now, it used to be that all you needed to turn out young voters was a beloved music star threatening to kill people. god, that was fun! wasn't it? can you believe p diddy turned out to be an alleged abuser? here i thought he was just a harmless murderer! but these days, if candidates want to reach young people, there's really only one way: social media influencers. >> from tiktok to instagram, online platforms are becoming a

key tool for political campaigns. >> a lot of young people, not just political news, but a lot of people use youtube and tiktok. >> social media influencers descending on republican and democratic national conventions, both parties officially inviting and credentialing hundreds of content creators to help draw eyeballs to their platforms and candidates. >> this is what it's come to. our election rest with the same people trying to sell you diarrhea-infused beauty cream. and if you are unfamiliar with an influencer culture, here's a quick peek. ♪ ♪ [laughter] move over, fred astaire! captain frito-lay is in the building. in the old days, doing a karate kick at 7/11 didn't make you a millionaire. it made you a meth head in

[applause] [cheers and applause] so, we know what the candidates are getting out of this: civic excitement, higher voter tur turnout, and free gutters from menards. but what about the political influencers? what's in it for them? >> 23-year-old awa sanneh made a name for herself dispensing beauty tips on tiktok. sanneh said she was hired by protect our care, a progressive advocacy group. >> what's your right? >> a video just for a creator in my size, and average can go from $3,000 to $10,000 depending, and upwards. >> $10,000? and all you have to do is sacrifice your dignity? time to get paid!
