Yeah, soon as were done with this psyker phase. I have five psyker units. Oh, my god. This is so embarrassing. Hey freeze you, right there thats alonzo fineski, the romanian sex trafficker [bleep] you, big man [fires gun] [gunfire] ahh oh, my god [grunts] ahh [gunfire] stan . Stan . [indistinct chatter, pa announcement] [somber music] and now, ladies and gentlemen, here he is, the once and future president of the United States of america [cheers and applause] thank you. I am here today for those who have been wronged. [cheering] for those who have been betrayed. And let me tell you that nobody in this country has been betrayed more than my ricky rick. Huh . What . [confused clamoring] rick, i am so sorry. And if you are out there, i want you to know that i love you. You are the only thing that keeps me from doing all this stupid stuff. When i met you, i felt in control of myself for the first time. There has never been anyone who calmed me down more than my little ricky bear. You are my boo. Did he just say that rick is his boo . The truth is, some of us simply cant be alone. We need a relationship so that were accountable to someone. I realize now how broken i am without that person who keeps me from destroying myself. Shsharon . And all ive ever done was take you for granted and wished i wasnt being controlled. [sobbing] hi, sharon. Will you please come home . Rick, i am a giant piece of shit without you. I dont deserve another chance. You have been wronged. You have been betrayed. And the only person who deserves retribution is me. I know you all really want to rally and rage, but. The only thing i have to say is. Is that i love rick. [pounding podium] i love rick i love rick [together] i love rick. I love rick. I love rick i love rick [all chanting] i love rick i love rick i love you, rick all i love rick i love rick i love rick yeah all i love rick [all clamoring] i love rick i love rick i love rick i love rick i love rick oh, crap. Here we go again all i love rick i love rick i love [sobbing softly] its okay, randy. Were back. Im sorry i cut your trip short. [sighs] its okay, randy. You made it longer than last spring break. Oh. Hey, mom. Stanley, what have i told you about playing warhammer on the Kitchen Table . Aw oh, rick i dont wanna go through all that again. I just wanna stay in south park with you. Well, i guess well just have to see what happens. [twangy music] announcer from the most trusted journalists at comedy central. Its americas only source for news. This is the daily show with your host, jon stewart [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] jon hey, everybody welcome to the daily show my name is jon stewart coming to you on a. What . What the heck . Thursday . Jon stewart on a thursday . Its like breakfastfordinner over here pancakes at night . We do have a great show for you tonight. Im gonna be talking about 2024 polling a little later with the polling director of the Harvard KennedySchool Institute of politics. [cheers and applause] i dont believe you but first, its been another big week of walltowall, nonstop, penistopenis coverage of Donald Trumps trial from the lingering glamour shots, to the trial merch store, to a rudimentary court treasure map, to secondbysecond realtime closedcaption transcripting, and a qr code you can scan for more coverage and, i guess, msnbcs inroom dining menu. Why would you need the ubiquitous coverage is numbing, fading into televised wallpaper. With insight that only occasionally crackles through, such as he greeted her at his hotel room in satin or silk pajamas. Jon which . Both are smooth materials but satin or silk . Which . I need to know she said, she had my. I had my clothes and my shoes off. I removed my bra. We were in missionary position. Jon hmm. Missionary no wonder trump has locked up the evangelical voting bloc. Unlike those democrats and their devil doggystyle their devilish tell us more not wearing a condom. Jon dont tell us any more but perhaps this hyperfocus by our news media is purposeful to distract americans by keeping visions dancing penises in their heads. All the while, americans are losing their freedoms at home. The Biden Administrations war on energy is reaching into the American Home. Jon while we were penising, apparently the Biden Administration is reaching around, into the American Home put a stop to the department of energys continued crackdown on americanmade appliances. Never in my wildest imagination would i have thought that i would stand here on the house floor to defend my constituents appliances and gas stoves. I was proud to lead the House Republican effort to protect our gas stoves. Jon they can take our lives, but they can never take our cooktops apparently this was a bill they passed to stop the Biden Administrations new energy regulations. And look, im going to be 100 honest with everybody here im on the republicans side. I [bleep] hate electric stoves. I [bleep] hate them. I can not cook unless i can see how high the flame is, and ill be damned if i start burning my signature bananas foster because Joseph Goebbels biden is trying to ban gas stoves im sorry, im being told thats not whats happening. Apparently, the department of energy just set new efficiency standards for home appliances, and 97 of gas stoves already meet the new standards, so unless this is where you cook, youre probably fine. And even so, at the end of the day, its just gas stoves. Its not just gas stoves. Its your washer, your dryer, your dishwasher, and much more. They started with gas stoves. Jon and i did not speak up, for i was not a gas stove why do i do this scottish accent for that . Isnt that a german homily . Look, no disrespect to these [bleep] idiots, but i think we can move Household Appliances down on the threattodemocracy list, just below aluminumfree deodorant. Clearly, this was an overblown reaction. But that doesnt mean that this trial coverage isnt obscuring some true horrors. Theyre dead. The boy scouts are dead. The boy scouts, we can pretty much declare, are dead jon oh, my god the boy scouts are dead . While we were all fixated on the titillating details of the Stormy Daniels testimony, the boy scouts all died . Im assuming in a terrible smores explosion, engineered by one Joseph Charles manson biden the boy scouts of america is changing its name for the first time in history. The organization will be renamed scouting america to emphasize its commitment to inclusion of all youth. Jon oh. The boy scouts are alive, they just rebranded as an organization. Partly because they started letting girls in five years ago, and partly because they had a giant molestation scandal. I say that so that no one can hear me. A giant molestation scandal. Rebranding yourself is a triedandtrue formula for many such organizations. In fact, its why the Catholic Church now goes by the name gary. [laughter and applause] so i feel terrible for anyone at home named gary. What is the issue . There used to be sacred organizations where the children could really flourish. Is anything sacred, bob brooks . No. Jon nothing is sacred. What did happen to those sacred organizations, gary . But as you all were saying . What happens to institutions in america, and really all over the world, is patriotic people start these institutions and the left must destroy it. Its a sad day when young boys cant learn how to be strong men. Weve wrecked it. Actually, they wrecked it. Jon okay, i dont want to break character here, but this [bleep], this guy, who is blaming the left for the loss of our institutions where young boys can become strong men, his name is matt schlapp. You may remember him. Hes head of the american conservative union. You may remember him as the strong man who was sued by another fella for nonconsensually grabbing his dick in 2022. [audience reacts] yeah. That only got dropped after a reported 480,000 settlement. The point being, when this guy talks about the depravity of our institutions, he knows of what he speaks. [laughter and applause] all this false outrage is starting to make me cynical about americas media ecosystem. Is there anything else going on that does merit a defcon 1 freakout . In the end, this is a sad day for america, a moral failing of a magnitude we cant even begin to calculate. Jon oh, my god, a moral failing we cant even begin to calculate . Perhaps its a combo failing . An appliance that changed its name to be more inclusive . Is mr. Coffee now they them coffee . Is that is that the danger we now face . President biden threatening to withhold more military aid if Israeli Military carries out an allout assault on the city of rafah. President biden halting a weapons shipment of 3500 bombs to israel. We paused one shipment of high payload munitions. Jon oh, my god the Biden Administration has paused one shipment of 3500 munitions, of the over 300,000 munitions israel has already dropped on gaza, to try and prevent the israelis from attacking the area where all the refugees of this war are currently sheltering. I mean, oh, my god or to put that another way and now what the Biden Administration has done is they become the primary protector of hamas. He absolutely is siding with the terrorists. The only reason they arent dancing in iran is because they dont believe in dancing. Joe biden has been the greatest friend to hamas and hezbollah that there is on planet earth. Amen damn, hes good. Jon yes, nothing says gravitas like, [goofy laughing] hes a terrorist sympathizer high five the only thing we have to fear is fear itself yuk yuk yuk you people are [bleep] children. That came out wrong. [applause] i am curious, why would biden do holds that shipment now . I have made it clear to bibi and the war cabinet theyre not going to get our support if, in fact, theyre going into these Population Centers. Jon if they go into the Population Centers . The whole place is a Population Center theyve been in the Population Center for six months gaza is all Population Center you know what you never hear around gaza . Yeah, i dont live in the populated area. I live in upstate gaza. I live by the lakes it is really quiet there. Is there no one who can offer a more nuanced analysis of our newlyformulated position on the conflict . Preferably in some type of catacomb or echoey tunnel . What biden is doing with respect to israel is disgraceful. If any jewish person voted for joe biden, they should be ashamed of themselves. Jon [laughs] my apologizes to you, rabbi. Thank you so much for taking time off of your condomless porn star hush money trial to deliver a shame lecture to jews. I will reflect on your moral standing next yom kippur, you can be sure. What about a jew who might vote for him twice [correspondents chanting shame] jon first of all, guys, American Jews are americans. We do not have dual loyalties or citizenship, theres nothing to be ashamed of. Thats not what donald trump says. Donald trump says you should be ashamed [correspondents chanting shame] also, you shouldve been a doctor. [applause] jon guys, this is making me a little uncomfortable. Why . Donald trump is just saying that theres good jews and theres bad jews, and we have to start identifying the bad jews. Jon i dont like where this is going. [correspondents chanting shame] shanda jon shanda . Yeah, im jewish, too jon what . Oh, i didnt know that. Yeah, on my mothers side [correspondents chanting shame] jon get out of here my god go [cheers and applause] as i was saying. Shame jon oh, for gods sake. Shame shame on you shame shame jon i know. Ronny, we already did the israel shame bit. No, i was talking about death to smoochy. I spent ten bucks on that movie shame on you jon it is a good movie. So are you not ashamed . Jon no, im not. Listen. Heres ten bucks. Just go. Thank you. This makes up for israel. Jon thank you. When we come back, john della volpe will be joining us, so dont go away. Us, s old spice gentlemans [c super hydration body wash. whispered vanilla and shea. 24 7 moisturization with vitamin b3. knock on the door are you using all the old spice . Oops. old spice mnemonic electric for short trips. Hmmm . Gas for long. Hmmm . Quite the paradox. It really is both. Hmmm. The lexus rx plugin hybrid. [cheers and applause] jon welcome back to the daily show. My guest tonight is the director of polling at Harvard KennedySchools Institute of politics and author of fight how gen z is channeling their fear and passion to save america. Please welcome john della volpe [cheers and applause] sir come and sit. [cheers and applause] thank you for joining us thank you for having me. Jon you have spoken to gen z, many of them here tonight, by the way. I dont know if you spoke to them. How many of you spoke to john . Okay. [cheers and applause] that is crazy. Turn this into a focus group maybe . Jon that is a focus group. How do you get to gen z . I have two of them in my house and i dont know what they think about anything. They want to be listened to. It is actually quite, quite, quite easy. You can bring a group of young people together, and i ask a couple simple questions. Do you feel understood . No. What do people like me, what do you think people like me dont understand about you . And then we learn from those kinds of questions and we conduct very largescale surveys of a relatively small population. So whereas most polls across the country might have 1,000 americans, maybe a couple thousand americans, we do a couple thousand young people between the ages of 1829, who are representative of that generation across the country. So we learn from what we hear, and we try to quantify that through very largescale, very rigorous surveys a couple times a year. Jon and you write in that their passion will save this country. I do think so. I do think so. Because, as i talked about the severe anxiety and depression that they have, but in many cases, other generations, who feel that way, it is normal to actually flee and to run away. But this generation has decided to use all of the tools, as david hogg, the parkland activist talks about to use all of the tools in their civic toolbox to fix problems and stand up for the vulnerable, whether it is voting, protesting jon do you think they are different than past generation . The idea that this generation had challenges in a way that no one else has. I just think that is putting upon them a sense of victimhood that is not necessarily and i think can ultimately have them play into that identity, as opposed to saying, yeah, man, your perspective is this is the worst the world has ever been, but im going to tell you something, the world is hard, and it is horrible sometimes, but to treat them as though they have faced some kind of condition that is so anathema to everything that all these other generations have faced doesnt feel real to me. I didnt say more than all other generations. Jon you said since the greatest generation. The difference, though, without seeing america united. The difference between a millennial, in my view, and a gen zer, is a millennial remembers a september 11th and september 12th and 13th. For that period of time when we came together, the red county and blue county and the flag, we came together. Jon that was a day. Right. It was a short period of time. Jon [laughs] this generation doesnt understand that. And it has been division after division. And it would be easy for them, in my opinion, to not engage in politics, not try to work with other people, to try to address this. Jon but how much of that is a fiction . How much of that is imposed upon them through the algorithm and through the media, that somehow, we were just talking about this, a young woman in the audience, said, how do you remain hopeful . I said, the way i remain hopeful is to separate the world that you read about it and hear about on the news and in the algorithm from the world you experience as a human being every day. And arent we, by creating these data points of the horror they all live in yeah, it sucks to have shooter drills. But we had nuclear war drills, where we hid under desks, and i didnt know that much about the atomic bomb, but i was pretty sure my desk wouldnt help. But do you understand what im saying . I do. [applause] jon so we create this mythology around these things that is part of that separation. But there is nothing seeing children slaughtered in schools, we did not see a nuclear war, is not mythology. Jon but we were seeing it in vietnam. And we are seeing that. But i am telling you is, listen, there is elements of this i agree, and we collectively should be putting this into context for people. Jon yes i agree with that. Jon okay. I agree with that. But what im saying is that we dont have to agree that we just have to understand the way that they feel and where they are coming from, and help them help themselves and help us. That is my message. And these issues are real, because we could work a summer job as an intern or cutting grass and afford a one year tuition at public or private university. We could do that in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. Young people cant do that today. You can work one job and afford a house. These are the rights, not only is this generation losing Reproductive Health care from the supreme court, but this is a generation who feels like they are losing other rights. The rights to attend their College Without going broke if you work hard. The rights to own a home or piece of property. Those are the rights. Jon do we really need to talk to the gen z anymore . Dont we know enough already . I watch the tiktok. It is everywhere do they do you think social media has hurt them . Unquestionably, it has hurt them. Jon really . It has hurt them. Jon what would you do to ameliorate this feeling that gen z is having and or has it helped them organize and so you wouldnt lose it because it is a doubleedged there is certainly some pros to it. There are folks who feel vulnerable who can find community on that space where they cant find it in their own community, and that is good. They can organize from it. But the degree to which fear is instilled in their lives, i was talking the other day in terms of what people are anxious about, and a lot of the young men i talked to have feeds every morning of car crashes. Horrible, horrible car crashes in their tiktok, instagram feeds, where they are concerned about driving to work. The economic fears jon wait, what . In terms of the algorithms. Jon it just feeds them car crashes . Car crashes. It feeds car crashes to them. Jon how the [bleep] does not even start . That is just one that is one example. Jon can i tell you, all i get is that one girl going i am two days into college and im three lectures behind, and then its just 1,000 people dancing to that. That is you, that is your algorithm. They found you. Jon im doing it wrong. Thank you very much for coming by. Harvards john della volpe. It is what is the name of the book . Fight. Jon gen z.
