You're listening to comomedy Central the most trusted journalists at Comedy Center. It's America's only source for news This is the daily jke tonight Melania tells AI to be best. The war in Iran is droning on, and Donald Trump has announced a comprehensive new healthcare plan. Just kidding, he's selling a gold coin. Let's get into the headlines We with Melia Trump, First lady and woman who just slipped poison into James Bond' Martini. Yesterday at the White House, Melania hosted an AI event, continuing the long tradition of F ladies in tech, from when Eleanor Roosevelt sets a high score at guitar hero five to when Nancy Reagan debuted the first suucking machine true per. And Melania was so excited about AI, she even did an impression of it. Today is about opening doors When the doors open, passions flow. Courage blossoms and dreams are realized AI inspires. Use this chapter of your life to seal away with your dreams sail away to the chapter of your life on the rocket ship, of your Crage as you blossom into the stars to write that speech. Chat GPT, give me metaphor. No, give me all metaphors So to be fair, this isn't just some one off thing Melania is doing. She's been into dystopiaian technology for a while now AI is extending the conceptual in ways never dream of before. AI will serve as the underpinning of every business sector in our nation. Robots hold steady hands in the operating room. Movie characters Scs fashion music art the entire ecosystem All with AI The shift from soldiers to machines is already underway. Autonomous helicopters swarming drones, fighters less jets and autonomous bombers are on the way. The robots are here The robots are here king you to join us. I mean them, them. Delete previous sentence Let's move on from the terrifying wars of the future to the terrifying war of the present, where the ceasefire in Iran is starting to get a little less cease and a little more fire. Tehran and the U. S. trading blows now, Iran's downing of an American helicopter prompting a fiery U. S. response We're trading blows again, this is not good. By the way, fun fact, trading Gows was a setting on Nancy Reagan's d suucking machine Good one exactly. O officials say an Iranian drone brought down a U.S. Apache helicopter patrolling the strait. The pilots rescued in a first of its kind operation by an unmanned surface vessel, a drone boat Sorry, wait a minute. The pilots were hit by a drone and then rescued by another drone crazy or were we warned about this? The robots are here My, You were right. I am sorry I ever doubted you. Delete previous insults It's crazy that this war is not wrapped up already. What is the president doing that's more important than ending this conflict? The Trump family is promoting this week's UFC fight at the White House by selling gold commemorative coins. The Freedom two hundred fifty silver and gold medallions feature Trump's face and are being marketed as a collaboration between the UFC and the Trump organization Ending the war is important, but a collab with UFC. I mean, that doesn't come along every day Although I'm not really sure that a coin is the right way to commemorate a UFC fight. It seems like the kind of thing you commemorate with a tramp stamp I love when I can use a photo myself on the show But a coin seems a little weird like a weird fit for UFC bros, doesn't it? The only thing I love more than fighting is cherishing sweet memories with decorative coinage Okay, if I was a bloodport loving coin collector, I'd be willing to pay what ten, maybe fifteen dollars for this thing. Let me just take a sip of water while I hear how much it costs The price for the coins ranges from two hundred and fifty bucks to as high as twelve thousand dollars drink Evion Sorry I wasn't paying attention. What was the price? twelve thousand dollars. What? Does it come with the used time to civic? classic Donald Trump, No amount of money is too small for him to try to grififf someone out of. The guy will skim off two billion dollars with a global crypto scheme one week, and the next'll try to steal your uncle's beer money with a coin that's got his face on it. And by the way, why does a coin commemorating a UFC fight have to have Donald Trump's face on it? Who designed this thing The site says they are all designed by President Trump himself Trump I know that makes sense And we go to the White House in DC with our very own Jordan Klepper. Desie, I've been talking to Trump officials and they are excited about this coin. It's got everything. stars, numbers, a circle shape But isn't it more important to focus on stopping inflation or the war Another thing about the coin is how it has all sorts of cool hidden details on it. For example, you will never guess what number is on the back of the coin. Is it two hundred fifty? Let me finish. It's two hundred fifty. But that number's symbolic. You'll never guess what anniversary America is celebrating this very year. It's two hundred fifty. Okay, you need to let me finish, Desi It's two hundred fifty, but It's going to blow your freaking mind when you find out whose face they put on the other side of the coin. Donaldrp It's Donal Trump Yes,'sonald Trump. Okay. You are good at this. Yeah. Well, look, there's so many problems going on in the country right now. Why is he just doing Giffs? Because Gifting is all he knows. Sure, inflation's at a three year high, but what are we gonna do about that? Unless, unless We fix inflation by putting out a commemorative coin featuring Arnold Palmer's venis. No, no anything. Okay Okaykay, yeah, okay, you know what? That's true, But how about Russia and Ukraine? Howre are you going to decide who gets the Donbas? It's a fifty fifty situation. And you know what could solve a fifty fifty situation is It's just flipping so. G stop, Jordan stop. stop you want real world solutions? How about about historic trade deficits? Maybe Trump goes to China, lookooks President Xi right in the eye Notice is something He reaches out behind his ear and pulls out It's a remmember now. No more Iran, are there any solutions that aren't just efforts to line Trump's pockets? Not that I can think of no. I suppose he could actually meet with the Iranians, have a good faith negotiation, one where we bring actual experts in the region willing to make concessions in exchange for long term peace? Yes Yes That is exactly what I'm talking about. And then once everyone is around the table, we take a picture of that meeting and guess what we slap that baby on. Don't you dare say a coin. Don't say it. Even better Plque And for twelve thousand dollars, it can be your plaque. What about the Iranians? Well, they can also buy the plaque. get the hell outt of here.

Shopify d. com slash daily showow Navy t shirts tell us America is not the only country in the world. So for a look at what's going on in other countries, we go to our senior international correspondent, Troy Iwada in his segment, So Not O Problem Wow, look at that. It's a day of the week. whichich means again, America is the world's punching bag. Well, guess what, other countries? You guys aren't so perfect either, okay? Just look at Mexico City, the most creatively named city in Mexico. They have a pretty big problem, and I'm not just talking about Americans trying to pronounce Oakaka City is sinking so quickly you can see the change from space. According to NASA data, the city is sinking nearly ten inches a year. This has been happening for the past century. and that's why older buildings and monuments tilt Wow, they're sinking ten inches a year. As they say in Mexico City, oh no. Wow, we've really gentrified that place, you guys. Now, on one hand, this is terrible news. On the other, it is kind of fun to think that instead of flying to Mexico city, we'll soon be able to zipline there The pointoint is Mexico, I know losing ten inches a year might seem fast, but I've seen eight inches disappear like that. Happy pride Sure, America's infrastructure might be crumbling and our bridges are too dangerous to drive on, but at least our capital isn't deflating like a divorced dad's air mattress. o Siento, Mexico, but that is so not our problem Let's move on to France, where everyone and I mean everyone is throwing back a rosese. Police in rural France issued a warning to drivers beond the lookout for deer. It happens when they eat fermented fruits or as police call it a forest paritif Police posted a video alongside their warning showing a deer moving in unpredictable circles and warned that the unpredictability can cause danger Okay, give Bambi a break. You wouldnt drink too if your mom was murdered Also, are you sorry about the cartoon deer It was eighty years ago. Also, are we sure that that deer is even drunk? I mean, my first thought is Molly, happappy pride This is why Americans carry guns in case a deer shows up to your house, drunk, asking to borrow money again So sure, our animals are fully over the legal limit for synthetic hormones, but at least they can walk in a straight line to the slaughterhouse Sorry, France, but drunk deer are so not a problem I forgot about you, Hong Kong. Here in America, we might be letting legalized gambling ruin our democracy, but at least we're not gambling our life savings on ferry toys. Hong Kong's government is considering clamping down on claw machine and pinball operators due to the risk of addiction. I spend one hundred thirty dollars on claw games every week. I thought my shop would be empty during the typhoon But people still turn out to play claw machines Jesus Christ, you guys are playing with claw machines during a typhoon , imagine telling your children, your dad died doing what he loved I spending a hundred dollars trying to win a Pokemon L Kong Kongers, there's so many other things you could do with your night. Go dancing, see a movie, get drunk and paint a ceramic plate. Believe me, that is not addictive or fun Also, you do know that you can just buy everything that's in the machine, right When I go to target to get a tamagotchi, I'm not reaching toward the shelves being like, o What's even worse is that claw machines are like the most boring game to get addicted to. You just jiggle an arm and press a button. , it's like pleasuring a beautiful woman H happppy pride So Yeah, America's gambling problem might be ruining our society, but at least we're losing all our money, betting the Kns will win it in four. Shut up, they still can tongue but your cl mine addiction is so not a problem Finally, America gets a lot of heat for its love of carbs, but hey, at least our bread is made from normal ingredients like processed sugar and sawdust But in Italy, not so much Scientists have successfully baked sourdough using yeast taken from Otsy the Ice Man, a five thousand three hundred year old mummy discovered frozen in the Alps. Researchers found yeast inside of the ancient mummy's remains after months of work, they managed to bring it back to life, the result an allegedly tasty loaf of sourdough What does it say about Italian scientists that they find a dead body and immediately go, How can I make a foucaccia This is why I'm not an organ donor. I don't want a coroner looking at my dead body and thinking, is it cake No, could it be Look, I've done extensive research into Egyptology, which means I have seen the mummy a bunch And I don't think we should be E with mummies, we can only ask so much of Brendon Frasier. He just got his career back So you Italians have fun unleashing an ancient evil upon the world, boiling our oceans, destroying our harvests, releasing scarabs into the air, and putting an end to humanity as we know it.

Is this it Well, I'll never tell. You gotta find out. Okay. This is more fun. Biked. Yeah, the good stuff. Yeah. U. You've been spending a lot more time in New York lately. What does it feel like to be here? Don't you feel so lucky to be here during this generational N c I was just gonna say, yeah, I've been here for the Tribecca Film Festival for the last week and especially right now, the energy in the city is so electric. Yeah. And so amazing. I'm we am I Nichols five, right? That's it. That's right. You went to game three? I did go to game three' going to game four tonight. Going to game four? Yeah. lucky I have an outfit in the back. I'm changing and going straight to the stadium. God. my son is a massive Kicks fan and has he heard you were going to the game. He wants to ask you a question.. He wants to know, will you be my new mommy? You can say yes, he has soccer twice a week. the crust cut off his sandwich. Coffee coffee. Okay, I'll keep that in mind. and then we can tag him. Most of us got to know you from Huge hits, D Grassi, the vampire diaries. starring in this Prime thriller, dark comedy. It is so good. You're fantastic in it. Thank. You star opposite Earon Paul, who's incredible. Yeah, it was a really fun movie. c The whole cast was amazing. Russell Crowe, Aaron Paul, Theeresa Palmer, Luke Evans. Everyone was incredible. Excellent cast, and you and Earon have great chemistry together Now, I learned that you're actually close friends with his wife. I am, Well both of them, but yes, his wife as well. Okay, and the two of you have some pretty intense makeout scenes. So are are you still on speaking terms with her? You know, I asked her for tips. D I was like, he likes it win I and so yeah. I'm kidding, that didn't happen. I would love it if she decided to give you terrible tips that he hated.ike you know what he loves is like a full face tongue bath Lick the whole face. Well we've been friends for a really long time and it was great because we have this built in chemistry, but as a result Yes, it does sort of make it awkward when you have to do a kissing scene together, but in this case, luckily, my character is obsessed with him and he wants nothing to do with me. Right. So the makeout scenes were intentionally awkward. Like I had to try to make out with him while he pushes me away and is trying to get away from me the whole time. So it was actually we just kept laughing the entire time. It was so funny He's a very good actor if he had to push away and pretend he wasn't attracted. Please, give me a break. So when we first are introduced to your character in this film, you're like, you're very buttoned up and you're a bank teller and we think that you kind of have your life together. And then we very quickly realize you are completely and totally unhinged Yes. What did that feel like? Because you seem like someone who really has it together. didid it feel liberating to go nuts and act out and play a character like that It's always fun when you get to do things that you wouldn't do in real life. And this the woman, the character that I play in this film is, like you mentioned, completely unhinged Yeah. She's off her rocker. She is She's a firecracker and it was so fun to do all these crazy things. I don't wan to spoil the film, so I'm not gonna to say too much more beyond that, but yah, she is cuckoo bananas. It's so much fun. It is pretty wild. So you aren't like that. You don't seem very unhinged, but I do hear that you're very adventurous and you do some crazy things You swim with sharks. I have You skydive. I have. You breathe fire. Well I have a party trick where I put like a alcohol in my mouth and then I light the alcohol on fire So I'm not really breathing it, but it is in my mouth, yes. We would ask I don't recommend doing that at all. We would ask you to do that on camera, but we can't afford the insurance. Correct. I get that. You ran from Lions on Safari. That one wasn't intentional. Yeah That was survival. Yeah, that was yeah, survival. and luckily we were fit, so we survived. I to ask you, what kind of health insurance do you have? I'm uninurable at this point. Yeah. Yeah. I, I'm kidding. I did opt in for I think it's called Metajet or something. or no. Yeah. It's like where the helicopter comes if something bad happens. that's intense. Luckily, I haven't had to use it yet Okay, goodood habit. with everything you just love. What's the next thing on your list? What's the next crazy thing you want to do You know, I had a pretty bad dirt bike accident a couple years ago. so I'm intentionally trying to slow down and do less crazy things because you know, I'm getting older Hopefully getting slightly wiser. It's probably Proably for the best. Yeah. Probably for the. I get like your heart palpitations just hearing about it. Yeah. now that we talked about this on the show, Metajet's probably gonna cancel my inter. I really do need to stop. Sorry about that. We'll edit it out of the show. It'll be fine. Your short film, General admission is so great. You're so funny in it. It's something that you not only starred in, but you also produced As a producer, you also write, you previously directed a short With projects that you're producing, what kind of stories are important for you to tell The majority thus far have been female stories for women by women. That's been the mission for my production company. I'm sure it'll vary throughout the years, but that's been the mission It should continue to be a lot of stories for men and by men, but know historically, there have been quite a few. and so it's time for a little bit of It is definitely time. Now you were incredibly vocal about equal pay in regards to the vampire diaries Woman to woman, it's twenty twenty six. How is this still a thing? Yeah, it is pretty crazy the fact that there's pay disparity between men and women at this is that like you said in twenty twenty six. I feel like I At the time, I really had to push really hard for it and I was not successful at first It took me walking away to then have them really Take me seriously. And It paid off in the end and hopefully hopefully It's helped other women in the process U But it's important and it was important to me. wasn't it wasn't even about the money to be completely honest with you. It was about the principle. and that's right I wanted to be. is incredibly important to be an equal to your male counterparts, no matter what your job is in whatever industry, whatever field, if you're doing the same work, you should be compensated for it. That's exactly right.
