The Daily Show: Ears Edition

With the midterms in the homestretch, Trump gets horny over male Republican candidates, a pro-Vivek Ramaswamy ad recruits his opponent's mom to attack her, a Fayette County Council candidate locks in for a drunk interview about AI and guns, and Michael Kosta wonders if Trump has spent more time thinking about Jon Husted's butt or the Iran War.

Jordan Klepper profiles Trump's newest former press secretary, Katie Zacharia, who was fired after just five days on the job. Between Zacharia's disastrous first press briefing, her bona fides as a seasoned conspiracy theorist, and her extensive experience as an almost-lawyer, Klepper tries to get to the bottom of why Trump would reject someone who clearly had the whole MAGA package.

Death Cab for Cutie’s lead singer, Ben Gibbard, joins Michael to talk about the band’s 11th studio album, “I Built You a Tower,” an exploration of how we compartmentalize grief just to get through the day. Gibbard looks back on 30 years of making music, how songwriting feels like therapy (but shouldn’t replace actual therapy), and how he finds transcendence while running ultramarathons.

Paris is burning, Trump is back to kissing Putin’s ass, and there’s a new war to blame for bank-breaking gas prices. Jon Stewart examines the headlines, including the protests that literally set Paris on fire while President Macron enjoyed a Celine Dion concert. Plus, American allegiances in the Russia-Ukraine war are called into question as Trump signs a diesel deal worth billions with Putin, and Jon gets some key players on the phone to work out why Ukraine is having trouble accessing Elon Musk’s Starlink cell service.

Best-selling author and Washington bureau chief for Mother Jones, David Corn, sits down with Jon to discuss his latest book, "How Russia Won: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Fight for America." They talk about Trump’s fixation on teaming up with Vladimir Putin, how Trump’s “man crush” on Putin drove him to sign a diesel fuel deal with Russia in spite of the war in Ukraine, Putin embodying Trump’s dream of wealth with full authority, and how Trump employs the theory of “big f**ks small.”

They discuss Trump pulling the plug on Pete Hegseth's push for a livestreamed execution of the Fort Hood shooter, White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia's "lawyer" controversy, reports that ousted ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle has a "burn book" that could damage the Trump family, and how a rogue AI agent deleted an entire season of an upcoming Swedish reality show.
