Jon Stewart
Disclaimer. No conclusive scientific research has shown clams.
- [01:24]
Paul Rudd
Can meant that I feel really good about my coverage.
- [01:27]
Jon Stewart
I mean, even if you took the climb out for the best day ever, visiting the zoo, taking a scenic ride, knowing you're insured by specialists, and sharing a strawberry ice cream cone together, the clam would not feel happy. And your strawberry cone would taste sort of clammy.
- [01:37]
Paul Rudd
Ew.

Jon Stewart
Geico's motorcycle specialists who know bikes like you do, assume no liability for clammy ice cream cones. Geico expertise for your motorcycle. You're listening to Comedy Central from the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central. It's America's only, only source for news. This is the Daily show with your host, Sean Stewart.
- [02:22]
Ronny Chieng
Welcome to the Daily Show. My name is Jon Stewart. We got a great show for you tonight, my friends. I got a. I got a new. With a chart. I'll tell you what, we got a great one. Paul Rudd is gonna be going. Paul Rudd finally had the balls to come on this show after weeks of calling me a propagandist know this. Our interview will be unedited. Rudd's going down. It's happening. I'm gonna. I'm gonna give that dude an infection of the perineum. I spent. I should explain. We spent. We come out early. I do a little warm up with the audience, and for some unknown reason, and it really was not prompted, I was trying to discuss the relationship between asthma medication and a side effect of an infection of the perineum. Unfortunately, I have no one in the audience who was able to satisfy my curiosity on that. Those of you at home who may be looking it up right now, wait till the commercial break. But first, a quick update on an administration that is once again carrying out its plans with competence and professionalism.
- [03:40]
Jon Stewart
A reporter from the Atlantic says he was mistakenly added to a group chat with top members of the Trump administration as they were texting back and forth about highly sensitive war plans. Jeffrey Goldberg says he was included in a group chat full of our nation's top security officials discussing what we can only assume to be top secret plans to bomb Houthi targets across Yemen on March 15. Everything from the weapons America would be deploying to the timing and the attack sequences.
- [04:16]
Ronny Chieng
Oopsie, poopsie. You know, back in my day, if you were a journalist who wanted leaked war documents, you had to work the sources. Meet him in a dark garage, earn the trust, pound the pavement. Now just wait for the National Security advisor to be distracted by White Lotus while he's setting up his bomb Yemen group chat. Are those guys jerking each other off, by the way? I might be in this group chat. I don't know. I don't check my group chats. Perhaps my favorite text of the entire group chain was the one from our defense secretary saying, quote, we are currently clean on opsec. For those of you who don't know, OPSEC means operational security. He said that in a group chat. A group chat with a journalist. The journalist said that he didn't think that the story was real until Yemen was bombed. Oh, did I bring you down? Let's move on. Because as you know, there are certain hypocrisies and absurdities that we find in our cultural moment that make for great fodder for humorous dialogue, a facial expression, a nod and a wink. Then there are other pronouncements by our elected officials, actions by our government that are so baldly bullshit, even though you know it will have no effect, and that these powerful creatures have been genetically modified to resist shame, self reflection of any kind. You Just can't help yourself but to go old school. Daily Show. Gotcha. I'm talking about the debate on free speech. Now, as we know, conservatives have been very concerned about the loss of free speech in our country for a very long time.
- [06:18]
Jon Stewart
Bullies on the left aiming to silence conservatives.
- [06:22]
Ronny Chieng
Free speech is under siege in this country.
- [06:24]
Paul Rudd
The leftists, they've become the thought police. They basically declare themselves God and judge us for our thoughts.
- [06:31]
Ronny Chieng
George Orwell was right. The thought police come next to punish thought crime. Be very, very. I am perhaps not for the reasons you are. The thought police with you right now, Jameel. Are they in the bottle? But luckily, our national free speech nightmare recently came to an end when we entered the golden age of Donald Jehoshaphat for Trump. We have saved free speech in America and we've saved it strongly. Free speech in America is back.
- [07:26]
Jon Stewart
Thank God we have a president now who believes in free speech.
- [07:29]
Ronny Chieng
Yes, thank God we have a president now who believes in free speech. Just go ahead, roll 212. I believe that CNN and MSDNC, what they do is illegal. I think CBS should lose its license, but I think ABC should lose its license also because of what they've done. I watched what happened live. I think Bravo should also lose their license. What they did to Dorinda on traders, they. They should be sent to a Salvadorian elo. This is what I'm talking about. Generally, you've got to search the archives for contradictions on one stated principles. Dig through policy papers to uncover private actions that are undermined by someone's public stance. But this is so. This is so blatant, I can't wrap my head around it. It's not even the hypocrisy. It's that they so fetishize free speech, this thing that they do not in any way actually practice the freedom to speak our minds and express the truth that is our heart. Really. That's really a big chunk of our heart. Any cardiologist will tell you hearts come in chunks. Blood comes into the aorta to the right ventricle, passes through your speech chunk. But since coming into office, Trump and the Republicans have instituted policies that are a dagger right through many people's speech chunks. The White House has barred the Associated.
- [09:32]
Jon Stewart
Press from presidential events because the AP has refused to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America in its style book. And in a dramatic escalation against the American legal system, Trump this weekend directed his government to target law firms battling his actions.
- [09:46]
Paul Rudd
Federal immigration officials arrested a Palestinian activist who helped Lead last year's student encampment protest at Columbia.
- [09:54]
Ronny Chieng
I think we ought to get them all out of the country. They're troublemakers. They're agitators. They don't love our country. My chunks. My precious chunks. My lovely lady chunks. My chunks. My chunks. My lovely lady. You're making my perineum tingle. Here's the thing. These attacks on free speech, especially the one where they deported that activist. If there's one thing that I know about the powerful principles at our higher education institutions, they will not be bullied by a world 212.
- [10:43]
Jon Stewart
Columbia University is bowing to President Trump's demands, announcing it will change a number of policies. Among them placing the schools Middle Eastern, South Asian and African studies department under academic receivership for at least five years.
- [10:58]
Ronny Chieng
Some students protested the war in Gaza. Suddenly a whole academic department is on double secret probation with government oversight. And by the way, okay, Middle east, part African studies. What the did they do? Sure, the African studies professor's like, I teach intermediate Swahili. See, these guys don't give a about free speech. They care about their speech. It's so blatant hypocrisy. It's so old school. Daily Show. Gotcha. You know what? I'm just gonna put on the wig I used to wear during those years because the poverty is just so. Here's Donald Trump on those who would criticize judges that he has appointed. A lot of the judges that I had, if you look at them, they take tremendous abuse and it's truly interference in my opinion. And it should be illegal. And it probably is illegal in some form. Yes, criticizing judges, it is interference. It should be illegal. Tremendous abuse. Four days later, not four days later, not a full French work week later.
- [12:19]
Jon Stewart
President Donald Trump just took to truth social and deemed this judge responding to this decision here, calling him a radical left lunatic of a judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama. He says this judge should be impeached.
- [12:35]
Ronny Chieng
The hypocrisy, it burns. And are we really still doing the Barack Hussein Obama thing? Oh, free Harambe. Come on people. See what was the whole thing that they hated about the left on free speech?
- [13:00]
Jon Stewart
No one is safe from the left's word police.
- [13:03]
Ronny Chieng
No one. What exactly would an actual government run word police organization look like?
- [13:09]
Jon Stewart
The Trump administration is actively trying to purge the federal government of so called WOKE initiatives. Government agencies have flagged hundreds of words to limit or avoid words like dei, bipoc, anti racism, Latinx, Native American, black women. Seemingly random words like Expression at risk, political and even mental health. And sex.
- [13:39]
Ronny Chieng
What's left? Bipoc and Latinx? I get that you're not allowed to say sex. You can't say words like women or sex or MeToo. How can a lot of your Cabinet members describe their weekends? You know, you can't protest in a way that you can't protest in a way that offends the right. You can't teach things that the right doesn't want you to teach. You can't read things that they don't want you to read. You can't use words that they don't want you to use. But they love free speech, I guess. Fear not. At least we'll always have art.
- [14:22]
Jon Stewart
President Trump demanding a painting of him be removed because he finds it unflattering.
- [14:51]
Ronny Chieng
He's demanding they take it down because he believes this picture is unflattering, which really makes you think. Do you think other pictures of you are flattering? At least in the painting they blended the foundation into your hair on but painting is out. Oddly enough, there is still one area of free speech that the right defends. Non hypocritically. I think they've come a long way. Meta Facebook Mark Zuckerberg came to the White House, who I like much better now, you know, I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok. Twitter now they call it X. And it's great that Elon bought that. He's done us all a big favor. He loves it. Meta X the Tickety Tock why is it that they're so enamored with social media?
- [15:42]
Jon Stewart
Studies by the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and academic organizations have found that the site forced political content on users. That content was almost invariably pro Trump, pro Republican, and pro Musk.
- [15:55]
Ronny Chieng
Huh. The one area of free speech that they want to protect completely is the area that supports them and isn't actually free. Social media is algorithmic, and it advances with key demographics. Or to put that in the most hilarious way possible, The President sat down.
- [16:15]
Jon Stewart
With Outkick's Clay Travis on Air Force.
- [16:18]
Ronny Chieng
One to discuss the status of his second term.
- [16:20]
Jon Stewart
President Trump getting to talk to you here on Air Force One. I wanted to start with this. Why do you think young men are so overwhelmingly coming in your direction?
- [16:46]
Ronny Chieng
My work here is done. Perhaps I can answer that question. They are overwhelmingly coming in his direction because that is the direction they're facing. I don't know if you know how that works, but you really can't come in a direction you're not facing. Although young Men at that age, you could bank a shot. I could. I could see one fly over the shoulder. Maybe a trick shot where they landed in a cup. You know where that would go viral? Social media. The one place the right will unequivocally protect free speech is the one place where the speech isn't actually free algorithms. It's speech incentivized for engagement and profit. It's manipulated. It just so happens that the same process that forces you to doom scroll somehow also draws you into republican ideology. Social media is a machine designed to stimulate the reptilian parts of your brain that would otherwise beg you to go outside. It's like being impressed that casinos give out free food. It's not free Social media. Media isn't the town square open forum of ideas. It's got a plan.
- [18:29]
Jon Stewart
In the summer of 2019, Facebook created a fake account for a 41 year old mom. They called her Carol Smith. Carol started off by liking a few popular conservative Facebook pages. But quickly Facebook began dragging her down a rabbit hole of misinformation. After only two days, Facebook recommended Carol follow a QAnon page. And a few days later, it suggested she follow another. By week three, Carol's feed had become, quote, a constant flow of misleading and polarizing content.
- [19:01]
Ronny Chieng
Now Carol Smith is a completely fictional character. And yet her children have stopped talking to her. Although she was apparently added to a Pentagon group chat and knows the details about when they're bombing. Guys, social media isn't the same as free speech. Social media is free speech in the way that Doritos are food. It's ultra processed. It's designed in laboratories. It's the same mechanism that somehow convinced you that you should eat a 50 story skyscraper of potato ish. And the most disappointing thing. Where are my conspiracy theorists at now that it's on the right, For God's sakes. Billionaires are designing machines to manipulate our speech, to control our behavior and rewire our brains. They're removing our regular speech and doing a, I don't know, great replacement of it to solidify their hold on power. Are you awake yet? Come on, you were with me on the lab leak thing, remember? What happened? Come on, you've barely even touched your Epstein binders. Doesn't this bother you at all?
- [20:37]
Jon Stewart
Elon Musk has taken a very courageous stand for the first Amendment. He's tough as a pine knot and the man's got guts. He's got.
- [20:48]
Ronny Chieng
He's got oranges the size of beach balls. Please stop with this Foghorn Leghorn bullshit. Godhorn is the size of beatball. But let me guess. How do you feel about other billionaires owning and manipulating our media?
- [21:17]
Jon Stewart
Mr. Soros is now the largest single shareholder in Odyssey radio stations in America. You can't just go do this.
- [21:29]
Ronny Chieng
Mr. Soros is a billionaire.
- [21:31]
Jon Stewart
Pass me the sick bucket. Sit and write.
- [21:42]
Ronny Chieng
Pass us all the mother sick. Fuck it. When we come back, Paul Rudd will be joining us. Don't go away.

Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight, an actor. He stars in the new movie Death of a Unicorn. Please welcome Paul R.
- [24:36]
Jon Stewart
Oh, I'm. I'm sorry, John. I'm just. I'm on this new medication and my perineum is on fire.
- [25:00]
Ronny Chieng
You know, here's how beautifully you craft these bits. It took Me a while to understand that that was an inflamed perineum at first. If I may. The physical crafting you do and obviously the stage fighting classes you've taken and all the things. The control you have over your body. At first I thought sciatica. It's clearly in the nether region.
- [25:24]
Jon Stewart
Yeah.
- [25:26]
Ronny Chieng
It was the bowing of the legs.
- [25:30]
Jon Stewart
It's the telltale giveaway of an inflamed perineum. Do we think now?
- [25:38]
Ronny Chieng
Do we think it's.
- [25:39]
Jon Stewart
Do we think it's. Should I go first?
- [25:43]
Ronny Chieng
You go first.
- [25:44]
Jon Stewart
Okay. We hear perineum and then we've. But we've also heard perennium.
- [25:51]
Ronny Chieng
I thought you were going to say taint.
- [25:54]
Jon Stewart
The layman's term. Sure.
- [25:57]
Ronny Chieng
Don't denigrate the term.
- [25:59]
Jon Stewart
Perennium sounds like a man's perennium. A perennium sounds like a flower in many ways.
- [26:06]
Ronny Chieng
Isn't it a delicate. The bouquet.
- [26:13]
Jon Stewart
Yes.
- [26:14]
Ronny Chieng
The aroma.
- [26:15]
Jon Stewart
Yes. Yes.
- [26:18]
Ronny Chieng
Did you know in your life, first of all, the way you walk. It's the difference between just an actor and a craftsman.
- [26:28]
Jon Stewart
You gotta put yourself. You gotta throw your whole body into it.
- [26:31]
Ronny Chieng
By the time you were done, my perineum hurt. That's how powerful it was.
- [26:37]
Jon Stewart
Transference. You felt it. You felt it.
- [26:39]
Ronny Chieng
Nope.
- [26:40]
Jon Stewart
That's good acting.
- [26:42]
Ronny Chieng
Do you.
- [26:43]
Jon Stewart
Or is it acting?
- [26:45]
Ronny Chieng
There is no way. Is that the one part of your body that is corroding? I think. Is that your Achilles perineum?
- [26:55]
Jon Stewart
You know, the Portrait of Dorian Gray? I. I have a painting in my attic. I call it my attic. My Attica. That is just of a. Just a rotting, old, decrepit taint. And. And I also have one where it looks like a spaceship. It's called the Perennium Falcon.
- [27:45]
Ronny Chieng
I do hope you'll get that checked out. That is.
- [27:49]
Jon Stewart
It is. I have wondered this. Yeah. You can't. Every commercial is for a medication.
- [27:56]
Ronny Chieng
No question.
- [27:57]
Jon Stewart
Everyone talks about the perineum and how it's some sort of side effect. The other thing they'd also mention is. Which is in a way even more disconcerting because they do it with kind of a cheery voice.
- [28:11]
Ronny Chieng
Right?
- [28:12]
Jon Stewart
It's talking about bloody or black stools.
- [28:22]
Ronny Chieng
Is there a painting in your attic about that you want to. You want to tell us about the other thing that drives me crazy. They always say. And don't take it like they've given you five reasons not to take this. I mean, you've got to be thinking to yourself, the exit was not that bad that I would risk my entire.
- [28:40]
Jon Stewart
Would you rather have a little, like, flaking on your arm or something?
- [28:43]
Ronny Chieng
Yeah, One kid at the beach and he's like, on my elbow and they're literally like, your balls will fall off. But so they go through that and they think like, oh, these five things will not have dissuaded you. The final one is always my favorite. And don't take it if you are allergic to it.
- [29:01]
Jon Stewart
Yes, I know. What's the giveaway? That's a. Oh, I think I might be allergic to this. Yeah, Everything.
- [29:09]
Ronny Chieng
How would you know unless. Paul, I'm gonna be honest with you. Finally. I didn't even know you still did movies. I just thought we just. I thought you were a WebMD doctor and I just brought you out here to talk strictly.
- [29:31]
Jon Stewart
Yeah, strictly. Medicines.
- [29:35]
Ronny Chieng
Medicines do you have. I am at the point now where I like, I'll read an article on biohacking and they'll be like, it's an injection of NAD and ultraviolet rays and you can't go outside for three months. And I'd be like, I would do that.
- [29:56]
Jon Stewart
There is a thing that, like, is so strange that we are so insists on letting everyone believe they are sick in this country.
- [30:07]
Ronny Chieng
Oh, shit, you just got real.
- [30:08]
Jon Stewart
Oh, no. But every commercial is one of these medicines. My daughter, when she was little, you know, you just watch tv, it was unavoidable. You know, you play games with your kids of like, all right, we're going through. We have to name. You have to come up with a food. We're going to go through a, like apple, banana, you know, cherries or whatever we used to do.
- [30:31]
Ronny Chieng
No, keep going. I want to see how I want to.
- [30:35]
Jon Stewart
Dee would always throw us. No D. We could never yates. We used to do it. My daughter would be four years old and we would do it with medicines. She'd be like, Abilify. And I swear to God, we could make it through the entire Alphabet. Four years old. Normally you skip X, but she's zelljans.
- [30:59]
Ronny Chieng
Right?
- [31:00]
Jon Stewart
Not a bit. Really. True.
- [31:02]
Ronny Chieng
How many times are we going to do Z and Zithromax?
- [31:05]
Jon Stewart
Yeah. Xanax didn't even make the cut.
- [31:07]
Ronny Chieng
God damn. It is a very interesting. You know, remember Aniston?
- [31:16]
Jon Stewart
Good old Aniston.
- [31:18]
Ronny Chieng
Right. And it cured everything.
- [31:19]
Jon Stewart
I just remember as a kid, I think all we had was Anison Buffering Bear. They had like, aspirin commercials.
- [31:26]
Ronny Chieng
Looks like somebody lived in a nice neighborhood.
- [31:31]
Jon Stewart
Well, we couldn't.
- [31:32]
Ronny Chieng
I had St. Joseph's children's aspirin. I was 17 and had chlamydia.
- [31:39]
Jon Stewart
But how was your perennium? Gorgeous.
- [31:44]
Ronny Chieng
As Rihanna would say, shine like a diamond. You could eat off of that thing. And, boy, did I try.
- [31:58]
Jon Stewart
We all tried.
- [32:02]
Ronny Chieng
Can I tell you something? I've missed you.
- [32:07]
Jon Stewart
I've missed you, too.
- [32:08]
Ronny Chieng
What?
- [32:09]
Jon Stewart
I haven't. I think the last time I. I.
- [32:11]
Ronny Chieng
See you every now and again at an event, once I moved out of the city. Once you move out of the city for those urban sophisticates, you are. You are a dead man. I. I live out in New Jersey, and I would say to Paul, hold on one second. Hard disagree, but I see you. You are living now the dream that I sometimes think of. Like your Kansas City Chiefs, they keep winning Super Bowls. You're out there with your son on the field, like, celebrating the thing. It's such a magical tower. Kids are around the same age, so we're all. They're going through the thing. It's a big transition. Like, do you feel the empty nest of it all? Like, that's slowly starting to dawn on me. Yeah.
- [33:03]
Jon Stewart
Yeah, I do. I mean, I certainly feel older, and my kids are older. They have their own lives. I mean, I'm sitting here, you know, getting nostalgic about the Abilify game. And so as I'm talking about it and I see, you know, people with little kids, I'm like, I remember that. And I do feel it's the whole.
- [33:25]
Ronny Chieng
The thing for me when I see someone whose kid is at that age where you can still do, like, the football hold. Right? Yeah. And you got the coffee in one hand and the kid in the other, and then so the cigarette can just dangle and.
- [33:40]
Jon Stewart
Yeah.
- [33:44]
Ronny Chieng
It'S a wild feeling when it's. When it washes over you, but it's also nice to, I guess, have them at that other. Like, the conversations you can have with them. There's so much.
- [33:52]
Jon Stewart
Yeah.
- [33:53]
Ronny Chieng
Yeah.
- [33:53]
Jon Stewart
Oh, it's great. I mean, it's. You know, you always hear that and that. It's like, oh, every age is great. And it's. And it's true, right? And it's. It's an amazing. It's an amazing thing. I was just. I was just in Australia, working in Australia, and my son was on break from school, and he came to visit. It was the first time ever by himself, and it was.
- [34:16]
Ronny Chieng
Came to visit you in Australia. Yeah. Fantastic.
- [34:19]
Jon Stewart
It was great.
- [34:20]
Ronny Chieng
Did you. The one thing I didn't do and I probably should have done is make friends. So they have to be there. I own them.
- [34:34]
Jon Stewart
Mm.
- [34:36]
Ronny Chieng
But when they leave, it's just me. Eating a Jersey. Mike's by myself, watching a game.
- [34:42]

Well, I don't know. Have you found this to be the case? Because I certainly have. I think as I just. As I get older, my world gets smaller. And as far as friends, I do have friends, but I'm not nearly as social as I used to be. I'm not on any actual social media. I never have been. So I do feel as if the world operates in a way that is. I'm. It's passing me by. I, I, I, I. It's like I sit alone with books. I sound like a Simon and Garfunkel song. I am a rock.
