Ronny hey, welcome to the daily show im ronny chieng weve got a great show for you tonight. Donald trump finally made some black friends. Joe biden has his hand up cookie monsters ass. And Jordan Klepper talks to the last nikki haley fan. So lets get right into our ongoing coverage of indecision 2024. [cheers and applause] lets kick things off with the race to control the senate. One of the tightest races is in arizona, and although we dont know whos going to win, we already know who is going to lose. Breaking news from the nations capital. Independent senator Kyrsten Sinema of arizona announcing she will not run for reelection. Polling in the last months has shown her with support of just 1525 , losing to gallego and kari lake. She met the ire of a great Many Democrats around the country, refusing to pass filibuster reform that would have allowed for the protection of abortion around the country and to codify roe v. Wade. In 2022, sinema blocked a critical spending bill to protect a tax break for the ultrawealthy. Ronny thats right, senator Kyrsten Sinema is stepping down to spend more time with her family, goldman and sachs. And i love how she says shes not running for reelection in arizona like its her choice. Totally not because you were going to get your ass kicked. Thats like me saying, hey, guys, im not going to be qbing for the patriots this year. Guess what . Nobody offered. Its also funny how people usually like independents in this very tribal political climate. You have to be a really shitty politician if youre an independent and everybody hates you. Me personally, i actually liked that Kyrsten Sinema taught everyone a very important lesson that you cant assume someones beliefs based on how they dress. She came on the scene like, hey, everyone, look at my pink tutu, you know im liberal and then she walks into the senate like, private equity gets everything. Drill those orphans for oil but lets move on to the president ial race, and the voters the politicians never forget. Every time they need to win an election. African americans, a. K. A. Black people. In 2020, trump only got 12 of the black vote, but this year, polls show that he could double that. And now, there might be a way for him to win over black voters without actually having to meet any. There are growing concerns about the way Artificial Intelligence could be used to mislead voters ahead of this years u. S. Election. Its emerged that some supporters of former u. S. President donald trump are creating and sharing fake images of him with black people to encourage African Americans to back him in novembers election. At first glance, this photo looks real. Only its not. It was generated using ai technology. The image was generated by Trump Supporters using ai to target black voters. But this picture has been viewed more than 1 million times. Ronny wow, it took the most Cutting Edge Technology to get trump to hang out with six black guys. This is outrageous. Youre telling me ive been wasting my time building real friendships with black people, a. K. A. African americans, when the whole time i could have just used ai and gotten the same number of likes . But seriously, i cant believe these photos would actually swing some votes. If were gonna be this easily manipulated by ai, lets just let ai vote for us instead we need to be smarter. I mean, im not gonna vote for trump just because i saw a picture of him with a bunch of asian guys. Although, i mean, they do look like theyre having fun. I wonder what theyre talking about. Damn, maybe it does help a little but still, i know people are worried about misinformation, but its pretty easy to tell if a picture of donald trump is aigenerated. Heres the trick if donald trump is in a picture and looks completely insane, then its a real picture. Like look at this picture trump hanging out with black guys . This is ai because its too normal to be real. Now this photo of him with black people is weird. Thats how you know its real is that confusing . All right, how about this one . Trump with black people having a good time at a party . Pretty normal human activity. Therefore, this is ai. But kanye in the oval office shoving his phone into trumps face . I mean, what the [bleep] is even happening there . This is too insane to be real. Thats how you know its real. Theres also other tells, like check the skin tone. Does his face look like a normal human . Then its probably ai. Does his face look like a dish sponge after chili night . Then its real. So thats the rule. Is he smiling in front of 3,000 hamburgers . Is he staring directly into a Solar Eclipse . Is he touching a glowing orb with middle east dictators . Then its real. I hope that clarifies things. But while donald trump is trying to get the vote of black people, joe biden is trying to get the vote of cheap people. Have you been Grocery Shopping recently and noticed your bag of chips has two fewer chips than it used to . Well, joe biden has. Shrinkflation is just one of the pocketbook issues that could find its way into the state of the Union Address on thursday. Today, the white house is announcing a new strike force tasked with cracking down on price gouging and everything from groceries to prescription drugs is on the list. Shrinkflation is when Companies Make the size of their products smaller without cutting prices. And the size of some oreo cookies has decreased by 6 since 2019. And a family size of wheat thins has dropped 12 in weight. Even some charmin toilet paper rolls now have 20 fewer sheets. [boos] ronny okay, boo. Listen, listen. This is such an american crisis. Oh, no, my costco sack of oreos only has 15 pounds instead of 16. And now when i shit my pants, there isnt enough toilet paper to clean my fat ass. [cheers and applause] you know whats not shrinkflating . Its celery. Maybe you should try it some time. By the way, if were going to complain about toilet paper, lets talk about how every time i buy it, the toilet paper is like, theres eight rolls, but theyre mega, so its ten rolls, but really its eight rolls. Just tell me how many [bleep] rolls there are and stop making me do math at cvs. Look, i do think its a good political issue for joe biden to focus on. Because you really think americans will go to the polls to protect democracy . Hell no. But if you promise to restore the number of sprinkles on their pop tarts . Record turnout. And luckily for joe biden, hes now getting help from an ally who speaks to young voters. And i mean, really young voters. This morning, the cookie monster has had enough. Chocolate chip cookie important to me too. His beef with shrinkflation is getting attention on capitol hill after he posted, quote, me hate shrinkflation. Me cookies are getting smaller. [cheers and applause] ronny you know, theres a real death of expertise in this country, so i appreciate when we can hear from someone who knows what hes talking about. For more on cookie monster speaking out, we go live to sesame street to our newest member of the Daily Show News Team josh johnson, everybody [cheers and applause] josh, what do you think of cookie monsters battle with shrinkflation . What do i think . I think cookie monster is being a little blue bitch why does he care about the price of cookies . Have you seen the way he eats them . Half of them end up on the floor if the cookies were smaller, maybe theyd manage to get into his mouth. Me no like shrinkflation stop talking like that you live on sesame street, how are you still doing remedial english . Ronny okay, josh, look, i love hating stuff too, but arent you being a little too hard on mr. Monster . Hes trying to fight shrinkflation oh, youre telling me that cookie monster just brought up shrinkflation the same week as biden . On his own . The only words ive ever heard cookie monster say are me and cookie. Who taught him shrinkflation . [laughter and applause] like, i dont wanna start any rumors, but im starting to think cookie monsters just a puppet. Ronny thats crazy talk, josh. Stop the conspiracy theories. Whether he is or not, shrinkflation is real. And its not just cookies. Its chips, soda, toilet paper. Explain to me why cookie monster cares about toilet paper. He doesnt have a digestive system. Hes never taken a shit in his life he doesnt know the pain of sitting on a toilet with a stomach full of lamb curry, running out of paper, and having to sidestep your way out, doing the pantsaroundtheankle waddle like youre robbing your own house. Only for your girlfriend to walk in, see you, then immediately walk out. Did you ever have to deal with that, mr. Cookie monster . Cause me did. Me very much did ronny yeah, but why didnt you just take off your pants completely . You know what, never mind. I think its great that cookie monsters bringing attention to an actual problem. Its not even the biggest problem on sesame street oscar is still homeless. [cheers and applause] trumps about to deport rosita. And snuffalubbagus snuffabuckabu snuffaluffa he in a gang. Im not going to lie, ronny, its pretty messed up that you sent me here. I saw elmo selling tickles for 5 dollars outside big birds nest. No one here is doing well. Ronny all right, josh, lets get you out of there. Aye, hold up. Hold up. Do you have 5 . Ronny no, no. u. When we come back, Yuval Noah Harari will be joining me. So dont go away. [cheers and applause] vo welcome to lobsterfest. Is your party ready . Ready to attack this new lobster shrimp stack . Ready for your lobster lovers dream to come true . Theyre two of ten lobster creations, only at lobsterfest. Plus, cheddar bays for days. But lobsterfest wont last, so hurry in. [traffic noise] [text message] lets ace this thing i got you coffee. Oh my god, what . You literally read my mind. Got you, girl. [cheers and applause] ronny welcome back to the daily show. Today is super tuesday. Hooray. I guess. This super tuesday, we all know whats gonna happen. Trumps gonna win, bidens gonna win, im gonna eat a tub of ice cream and hate myself afterwards. Just a normal tuesday. The only question is, who will nikki haleys supporters vote for after she drops out . Jordan klepper went to find out, in another installment of fingers the pulse. The general election candidates seem all but settled. But nikki haley has run a strong campaign, so what will her supporters too if she drops out . I went to North Carolina to one of her super tuesday rallies held in a quaint train station to find out. I was a trump voter in 2016, not 2020, and so i am just ready to stop him. I would like to make him sweat. How do you make donald trump site . I think probably a walk down the stairs will do it. I have no idea. If nikki haley drops out after super tuesday not going to. Shes not going to . You are defiant. Even if she had doesnt h have a numbers, she shouldnt drop out . No. You sound like a republican. You are not going to accept any election results. Of course they are going to keep going. Theyve seen the antimaga as the tiny crowd of the biden rally. Mr. Trump would sell his own grandmother for a profit if he could. I dont think he could win. Even if he does, the country loses because hes out of control. He is chaos. Hell be working on his court cases for the whole time. After january 6th and all that, there is no way i could ever vote for him again. You still think insurrection . Oh, yeah. Just to be clear, insurrection bad . Yes. Good to know. Im trying to feel out the electorate. That is good. Here was a group of republicans who dont like trump. A not insignificant number of voters who could be decisive in the general election. It was finally time to ask the difficult question. If haley doesnt go past super tuesday, who do you plan on voting if it is trump versus biden . First i will have a cry, then i will have a beer, then i will pray. If nikki haley is into the race that is so sad. I voted for trump twice. I will not i cant say i want to vote for him but god, dont put me in that position where i have to pick between him or biden. If it is not haley in the general election it is really tough. The other day, if i am forced to, it is going to be really hard. I mean, hold my nose, close my eyes, and tie me up. You are still not sure if you had to vote trumpbiden, you are still would you rather have rat poison or what was the other thing that the people did in arizona . The fish tank cleaner . Rat poison versus the fish tank cleaner . Lets say nikki haley doesnt get past super tuesday. It is biden and trump. Where is your head at . I just think both of them are too old. We shouldnt be voting for octogenarians at this point. I dont know. Let me get you into making a decision. Pizza or burgers. Pizza. Great. Alien from a predator. Alien. Barbie come often minor. Oppenheimer. Bidenbiden. I will say biden. Some are ready to turn the page on maga. While others are still working through some things. Do you feel donald trump poses an exit central to american democracy . I really do. You do . You are like, donald trump, i am done with him . Completely done. Completely done. Hypothetically, if it is biden versus trump, who do you sup support . It is really going to be a tossup for me because it will be trump but i, you know, i would rather just almost not vote but i will. I mean. And it will be trump. I think so. The guy you just said you are done with. Well. I am struggling. Why cant you be done with donald trump . It is just the sex cases and i mean, come on. They have all the criminal stuff. It is insane. No one should support of a president. No, but yeah. But if it is him versus biden, you will support him for president . I think so. The process of soulsearching can be agonizing for these never well, maybe just for a third time trumpers. But maybe the pain is a sign of growth. Do you think trump poses an existential threat to the american way of life . I think trump will sell ukraine to putin. Its a threat to global security. And to me it is a big issue. If we get to the place where it is just trump versus biden, who do you support . Well, i dont want to vote for either one of those characters. One person you just described as an accidental threat to global security. But even with that, voting for an old man is too much . That is voting for nothing. Global Security Risk or nothing. Im not saying those are great options. But i am also saying, that is not a hard decision. That is a hard decision to me. You can feel nothing, okay, it would be nice to feel something inside, or you can feel getting punched in the nuts. If you had to choose feeling nothing or punched in the nuts, it feels like a nobrainer. So at least if you get punched in the nuts, you can fight back. You are still there. Trump 2024 comments i get punched in the nuts. At least you will feel something. Yeah. [cheers and applause] ronny thank you, jordan. When we come back, Yuval Noah Harari will be joining me on the show. So dont go away. [cheers and applause] lemme show you something by kali j. [ ] [ ] [ ] come seek the royal caribbean.

[cheers and applause] ronny welcome back to the daily show. My guest tonight is a historian, philosopher, and bestselling author of sapiens. His latest Childrens Book is called unstoppable us volume 2 why the world isnt fair. Please welcome Yuval Noah Harari. [cheers and applause] standing ovation. Wow, yuval. Thanks for joining me. Good to be here. Ronny ive been watching your stuff for the last ten years, before i came to america. Love it. You specialize in dealing with the history of humanity and the rise and falls of civilization. What made you think that was an appropriate topic for children . This is pretty heavy stuff, man. Yes, but you need to understand history to know even the most basic things about yourself. Like when i was a kid, i often woke up in the middle of the night afraid of the monster under the bed. Which happens to a lot of children. Ronny yes. And you call your mom but you also want to know, why is it happening . And history actually holds the answer. Ronny what is the answer . Because this is really a memory from hundreds of thousands of years ago, when humans lived in the savannah and there were actually monsters, cheetahs, lions that came to eat kids in the middle of the night. Ronny is that something you want kids to know . Yes ronny that this monster was once real and they killed kids in their sleep . It is important to know that because you then understand your own emotions and feelings better. You understand that im not crazy to be afraid of these things. With kids, you have to speak very simply. Ronny like sometimes we die from diarrhea. Yes. Ronny so this is what i think. I think you wrote you have written sapiens before which is a great book for adults. I think that theres too many dumb people who couldnt understand what you are saying so you wrote this, not for kids, you wrote this for dumb adults. Thats is what this is. You put some pictures in there. [cheers and applause] an illustration of someone dying from diarrhea. This is for dumb adults, right . That is one explanation. Ronny right, right. I feel like a lot of what you are telling us is the message of what history is trying to tell us now. I feel like that is what you are trying to decode right now, a lot of it. I guess, what is the message that history is trying to tell us now . Many messages. One thing is to beware of unintended consequences of what we do. Like again, the agricultural revolution, people thought it was a good idea. It brought about epidemics. So same lesson for the big revolutions of right now, like ai. The more Important Message is that the world in which we live has been created by humans and therefore, humans can change it. Ronny when you talk about history, you are always like, humans came, they ate berries. You maintain this academic objectivity. What actually do you go, [bleep] this shit . The question about any story, money, ai, whether it increases or decreases the suffering in the world. Ronny see, this is a nonanswer. Tell me what you made. What i hate . Ronny for me, so you think you are openly atheist. Yes. Ronny can you clarify that god is just made up . Yes. Ronny we have it here. Can you say it to the camera . Humans created god. Ronny we settled it. That is great. This guy, we solved it. [cheering and laughter] again, it should be emphasized, just because humans created it doesnt mean it is bad. It can also do good things. Ronny stop hedging this. Just let it ride. Just go, this sucks. The last thing i found very interesting is, you said that right now, we have humans composing things and ai amplifying it. That is our current situation. In the future, we will have ai composing things already, the images you saw before of ai generating fake images. This is basically a kind of art. Ronny sure. So it is still the first steps. But ai is still a baby. Its like, ten years since the start of the major ai revolution. So we havent seen anything yet. And it is very likely that in a couple of years or decades, much of art, many of the stories we believe, even religion will be increasingly created by this alien intelligence and not by human intelligence. Ronny okay, see, thats bad. That is a bad thing. Thats not good. It is a very dangerous thing, absolutely. Ronny are you going to say [bleep] that . Can you at least say thats bad . Yeah, thats bad. [laughter] ronny i finally got you to Say Something was bad. [cheers and applause] okay, i dont know. I guess im equal parts hopeful and pessimistic about the future. That is a good stance. It is a balanced stance. [laughter] ronny all right. Thank you so much for speaking to me. Unstoppable us volume 2 is available now. Yuval noah harari, everybody. We are going to take a quick break.
