I will never forgive Ted Cruz for making me agree with Tucker Carlson😂
Right? haha
I know, it's like Trump making me agree with Musk and Musk making me agree with Trump all over again! 😂
The world is upside down 🙃
This comment needs more airtime!
😂
Don't ever feel bad for Ted Cruz.
I feel bad for his dog
Never feel bad for Ted Cruz, and never miss the fact that Carlson is only saying the truth when it's convenient for him. He may have more education, but he's just a big of a liar and narcissist as the rest of these guys
Nobody does. Thats why he has no friends
I never feel bad for Ted Cruz, just his "wife" and daughters.
We don't buddy its all for mocking
You know the world is ending when Tucker is the sensible voice in the room
Sickens me that I have to agree! How did we get HERE!!!
Just a little trap between friends

ABSOLUTELY
Writers are on fire in this episode and Klepper always delivers ❤️🔥
Trump giving a 4-hr long press conference about flagpoles while he's supposed to be in the situation room de-escalating a war is very on-brand for him 🤦♂
He doesn't do security briefings, we all know this. His attention span is too short and there are no pictures.
Well, those flagpoles are important. With wife three keeping her distance, it'll give him something to hug. Preferably during a thunderstorm.
Are they going to pave around the poles?
He can work for QVC selling flagpoles.
Or at the G7 conference he was supposed to be at.
My grandmother has dementia. She makes more sense than Trump. Honestly, he isn't fit to be in public.
Sleepy joe Biden identifies as ur grandma?
Yet Biden was go touch grass blind man
@@AlexSanchez-tr5fu😂😂😂😂
And Netanyahu is using that on his favor same as Ivanka converting to Judaism
Elbows Up eh noofie?
''For the party that promised no confusion around pronouns, this is really confusing...''
I literally spilled my sip of tea!
Glad I checked the comments section from the start. I'm also drinking tea at the moment. I'm glad I read what you quoted first, I would have spilt my tea too! Appreciate the heads up! 🍵😹
GOATed quote 🤣
For me, it was my beer
They will never admit that they were wrong
This is why we shouldn't have an 89 year old toddler as president
get a president who thinks his relation was his wife and friends which he attended their funeral were still alive and falling asleep at major events and only never got prosecuted because his mental capacity didnt meet the freshhold to understand the process but dems still wanted him as their furer....lol
It's your fault. You chose Kamala. Oh wait. Lol
Not sticking up for him, but he just looks 89. His biological age is 79.
Worse, a rich republican 89yo toddler with serious psychological and emotional issues. The bar keeps lowering every time the electoral college lets another republican win.
@@EugeneDoherty-v4e It‘s truly insane how your comment just makes less sense with every word
It’s really hard to find yourself rooting for Tucker Carlson but if it’s making a Cruz look bad then I’m all for that
"agghhh! I can't believe I disagree with a person on some things but agree with them on another thing! nuance hurts! I need groupthink at all times!!!"
The thing is, don't stand up for a person. Stand up for the truth and justice no matter who it comes from
Tucker is worse.
Maybe you were misinformed about what Carlson believes.
If its hard for you to root for Tucker Carlson then you have deep problems and are brainwashed to your core
Not a Tucker Carlson fan but I'll give the devil his due in that interview.
Everyone hates Ted Cruz, so we can all at least go away from this with that fact....that even Tucker hates him
Both Tucker and MTG said something sane in the last few days, that's gotta be one of the signs of the Apocalypse or something lol.
Hes not so bad
@@Rowsy91 It's literally been proven in court that he is.
@@mayaenglish5424 no. Ever since the 2003 Iraq War, and being duped into supporting it (and to be fair, so were many liberals), he has been VERY consistent on staying out of foreign wars and the neocon agenda.
So much could have been avoided if tucker had shown this much journalistic integrity 15 years ago!
Just less than a year he was on a podium bashing Kamala for the man that recently insulted his podcast show and him getting fired for said man by spreading lies. How poetic
He's been pretty consistent. He's ideologically partisan, but he's generally honest.
YES!!!
Tucker is a long way from having any integrity. He only cares about Iran in this situation due to the fact that he is a Putin mouthpiece. Iran is one of Russia's few commercial partners.
Don’t mistake this for journalistic integrity. He’s still a blatant Russian shill who went fully off the deep end after getting fired from Fox. This is just one of those situations where their fascist white supremacist beliefs happened to lead them to opposite conclusions.
Even the guys behind him were cracking up laughing when he was talking about the poles😂😂😂😂😂...look at from 4.43😂
These are the same people who vote on bills without reading or understanding what’s written in them
Questions might arise. Changes might need to be made. The public would have more opportunity to lobby their legislators That would just slow the whole process down.
@@mitchconner403
I think he was sarcastically listing the reasons MAGA don't want to take the time to actually read bills and think them through.
At least, I hope that was the point.
BOTH sides vote on bills without reading them, just for the record. Have you forgotten "We must pass this bill to see what's in it?"
@@TheREALJoey-T
It's true that many Congresspeople spend most of their energy fund-raising rather than paying attention to the wording of legislation, which is one of the truly pathetic results of America's non-stop electioneering.
(One of the few exceptions being AOC, who actually knows how to read and doesn't spend her whole energy looking for money.)
They do have staff, however, who should at least be going over the material to some degree.
Yeah, there's an enormous amount of incompetence, sloppiness, and corruption in the system, sadly. There are, however, some politicians who actually do the work they're paid for.
A sadly small minority.
As long AIPAC send the check, the bill is signed.
I think, for the first time, Tucker had a REAL gotcha moment. You should’ve played the rest of the clip because his face when he says “You’re a senator, this is high stakes” looked genuinely flabbergasted.
High stakes on the stock market! Like they care who dies.
To be fair he always looks flabbergasted. I bet that's the face he does when a waiter explains to him the soup of the day
yup, ted cruz is that bad. Even tucker carlson sounds reasonable compared to him.
Not really gotcha questions though. Population of Iran is like a 5th grade test question.
Should also have played rest of the clip of him asking if there were any illegal immigrants there and how horrible their lives woul be if found out. It's just lovely...
This is possibly the first time I have ever enjoyed watching Tucker. What is going on with the World?
Weirds days.
I’ve certainly agreed with him before, you gotta go back a few years before his brand became owning the Libs. Refreshing to see his crazy go both ways lol
The only thing I can give him credit for. Since I've known him for decades he is pretty consistent with not liking wars.
Putin doesn't want Iranian regime toppled. So his asset is playing the role of a rational voice. That's Russian strategy in Europe. Mostly, it only sounds rational, but makes no sense when you really think about it. This time, it actually IS rational and agrees with what Carlson genuinely believes. But there might be times in future when he'll sound rational and you will enjoy it, but it will be false.
Russian puppet happens to be right once in his life
Flagpole came upto me, tears rolling down his mast, and he said 'sir'
😂😂😂
rofl
This can't be real. How is any of this real?
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It's not real, it's America.
Watch the folks expressions around him, it's real.
It’s real because people don’t vote and rich people don’t care and republicans refuse to right this country’s wrongs
I was and it was funnier than Trump@@elizabethheyenga9277
The writing in this episode is incredible!! Absolutely witty and hilarious and so smart!! Thank you!!!
Yes, some great jokes.
'not doing well in the poles''....pay that writer a bonus 👍
I guess so? If they'd written 'polls' instead of 'poles' it would be more worthwhile.
@@mort8143 nothin' like concrete thinkin'...guess it depends where you put your flag. ahem.
Didn't catch that one the first time. Dam this is an outstanding episode
Perfect joke
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This has to be the funniest episode ever 😂😂😂😂😂
"i may do it, i may not do it, i mean, nobody knows what i'm going to do." the most accurate Trump response ever
That thought bubble that hovers over Donnie is always a surprise, esp to him!
Also the most honest. Oops.
He’s stalling until he hears from rasPutin
I mean the guy probably won't run again, so I'm not too surprised that he's going full mask off.
😮😮😮😮America! Where are you? 😮😮😮
You have no idea how shocked I was to see Tucker being intelligent.
Seriously I read the notification for this and automatically hoped Ted was having a moment of common sense because never would I have considered it was Tucker 😳
👁👄👁
Don't worry. The USA joining the war means Iran won't be giving Russia missiles. Which means Tucker is against it. Still the same guy with the same Russian talking points. It's not even a broken clock being right since we shouldn't be in Iran, but Israel will be keeping the missiles and drones from making it to Ukraine, whatever our deer leader decides to do in Iran.
He’s just in it for the money, that’s why he was vomiting propaganda over at Fox for years (and still is).
He is a Russian asset
he has always been highly intelligent sadly. he just knows what benefits him.
this iran war is an 80-20 issue
We love Jordan Klepper!
It offers to translate this into English for me…. Maybe google needs to stop being lazy….
I like him but Stewart should be the one reporting on this. Tucker "Bowtie" Carlson 😂
@@AM20038 i bet you'd complain about free ice cream.
Yeah, intelligent guy.
"These are the best poles anywhere in the country"😂😂😅
Anywhere in the world 🤣🤣
I’d say Poland has the Best, it’s close
I like to think I have the best pole in the country 🤔
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
I'm SO relieved we have the world's best flagpoles
With the ropes inside. So, the rope bits on the outside were for...what?
I’ve been literally dancing all day, I’m so happy and proud! Did you hear they were tapered? TAPERED! America is BACK!
🤣👍🏻
Oh when will the innuendo end? And will it have a happy ending?
hilarious.......its amazing how many comedians we do have now since our second grader came into power.
I have watched The Daily Show from it's inception, and to this day it still is my absolute favorite go-to for destressing in truly horrific times. Thank you, TDS.
Dumb Americans, voted for a convicted felon, to be their leader of the free word. Trump, Netanyahu and Putin are the most hated world leaders, liars and egotistical, narcissistic, self-righteous, dictators and war mongers. If they are assassinated, very few people will blink an eyelid. I am surprised that they are still alive.
@@DenneySweeneythose Jon Stewart Iraq War days were real journalism
I don't want to live in this reality anymore.
Don't give up, because not only you, me and the rest of hundreds of millions people feel the same way, if we gave up and they just achieved their goals, that's the whole point
@@lacepub just putting it out there, I haven't found a relevant comment in these spaces in probably 10 years. I hope this is what brings us together. I consider myself right-leaning the last decade but have always been into progressive human ideals. Never was into war, 9/11 was always an inside job, Jews are cool, but so are Muslims to the same degree... we're so close to actually draining the 'swamp' they are ALL scared at this point.
Could be worse grow up.

We are going to get GTA 6 next year HOLD ON
Omfg LOL “at least he found a new use for the the 50ft pole Malania refuses to touch him with.”

That was funny the first 2000 times I saw it on Twitter
@@omalley5196 still is.

😆😆😆😆😆
The best poles anywhere in the world. Lol. Trump is completely nuts.
And the idiots in the USA would vote for him a 4th time if they could.
What a top-tier brag, right? It’s all part of the propaganda.
It somehow gets me every time. What does that even mean???
Their tapered they got a top
Well they are "tapered and have the nice top"!
Idiocracy, closer than we ever thought...
Yea the senile child sniffer with his cackling hen Dei hire VP who cant answer a question were so distinguished right. Grown men with beards walking around in dresses saying their women isn't idiocracy
Closer? Waaaaaay past that.
I thought it was a comedy, turns out "Idiocracy" was a prediction.
Baby we way past that...sponsored by the UFC
A documentary!
Always the best,Jordan
I am from Austria, I find it hilarious that he still is on about our trees. Our trees are fine and not overly flammable.
I think he switched up austria with australia ...
America first -- Austria forester
I think he meant Australia , where the eucalyptus trees are very flammable not Austria but who can keep track of all these countries
I'm sorry our President is such an idiot saying and doing so many dumb things. But America deserves this. He was voted into office. TWICE. And they tried to do it three times.
He doesn’t even know where he is, he just cares that he’s surrounded by nodding sycophants. He probably meant Australia, or Japan, or who knows.
Jordan Klepper's delivery is bout as awesome as it gets!!!
He kinda sounds like Jerry Seinfeld when he is shouting. Mean that in a positive way.
Those poor workers, just standing around being props while Grandad is off on a tangent.
and the young journalist rubbing his head as if to say 'how am I going to write this one up?'
I hope those men are getting paid by the hour.
Jordan Klepper, you are fantastic! Thank you.
"Sir, you're not doing so well in the poles" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was such a well written joke
😂🤣
underrated comment
"Then we will get new poles. Big beautiful poles!"
Yeah the poles told you Kamala was going to win 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trump immediately called ICE on the workers behind him who laughed while he was speaking.
It was hard to tell- were they laughing With him or At him? 😅
😂🤣😂🤣🐔🌮
@Toni_Snark He laughs?
@@kingjamos2422No. Trump has never been seen laughing. Not publicly or privately. He is incapable because of his severe mental illness.
Bro tried so hard to hold his laughter😂😂😂
"For a Party who promised no confusion about pronouns, this is truly confusing." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The republican party is the confusion. Just asked Ted. 🤣
Jordan, you are brilliant.
And these guys questioned Biden's mental health SMH
And you voted for 'ol mush brain. What's that say about you?

Trump is sundowning. Big time.
It’s only been ALMOST A DECADE
Ohhhh... hes well past sundowning....
The problem is once he devolves into full on batshittery the GOP will still back his every move, no matter how insane it is.
@@AgnosticApologistThat’s the downside to cults…
@@AgnosticApologistsort of like the way the democrats did with Biden and his clear mental collapse over the last 4 years.
E-vite!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Lawd I haven't heard anyone use that word since 2005 😂😂😂😂 love it.
No other president would talk about flag poles it's ridiculous. Get this guy out of there. No country wants to make deals with this lunatic
What about Poleland?! They don’t want the tariffs raised on the poles they export.
USA should have imprisoned him 5 years ago.
Deals? How about policy!!!!
Thanks for keeping us sane.
Laughing about the mass deaths of people the US are complicit for maybe seen differently…
I really wish people would call him by his given name Rafael. He doesn’t like to call trans people by their preferred names so why should we call him by his preferred name?
I always have. Don’t want to let him forget his roots…
Who's Rafael?

Yeah, this was guuud!
It’s messed up when you’re laughing while shaking your head at how dire the situation is
I feel the same way. It's incredibly dystopian.
@@MidnightSonnetour lives stuck in a tragic comedy like Happy Death Day, wake up and it starts all over again just insane
Thank you Jordan. Please watch your back.
Can someone please wake me up from this twilight zone nightmare I'm in.
ALAN!!!
The call is coming from inside the house!!😨😨
Ahhhhhhh you were asleep for four miserable years of Biden.
Timmy..my guy..please, relocate me to the cornfield, preferably on a different continent
Said the guy who told us he will get a deal done between Russia and Ukraine with a single phone call.
He promised The first day!
I think he said that he could. Not that he would.
@Toni_Snark nah, he said (many times) "I WILL end the war"... but then again, it's not like he COULD either, so I guess it isn't really that important
And if he actually could somehow and chose not to... Well that's probably the worst possible outcome.
@Toni_Snark Either way he has demonstrated that he can't, given that his talks with Putin haven't brought the war anywhere closer to ending
And on his first day! ….👎👎👎👎
Too bad SNL season isn't running new shows until September. This is great material!
with all the BS coming from trump and his buffoons, SNL surely has their "FOMO" moment now
SNL does not come close to TDS.
9 minutes of a nice mix of 😂😂😂 and 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
The pole jokes are hilarious 🤣🤣
TRUMP SOUNDS COMPLETELY UNHINGED!
I wonder why? Could it be because he is??? Naaah! That's impossible. Right!? Right!!?? RIGHT???
Wellcome back Jackson! May I ask how long time were you in the coma?! And as a suggestion… if the option exists… you might contemplate going back to being sedated for another four years!

"Dumb as Trump" will be a new English idiom in the future
That's hilarious 😂 and true!
Kinda pokes holes in the "Stable Genius" idea
Agreed and another word for evil is Donald J. Trump
just replace the word with trump
He's not that dumb if he was able to play half of America into voting for him.
Glad he explained about how to put up poles. That was reveting.
Austria has very flammable trees?? I live in Austria and I thought the big wild fires of the last years were in Australia, Canada, California... Our trees are magnificent, some say the most magnificent in the world! They are tall, strong, mountain-climbing trees made of the finest wood - real wood, I may add. Some say considering the size of Austria they don't differ that much from Germanies, Italys, Slowenias, Slowakias, Hungarys, Switzerlands or Frances trees but anyone who has every seen them will know, they are the greatest trees - there are non like them anywhere in the world.
Australian here. Coincidentally we do have many varieties of very flammable trees.... 😂
Trees, the likes of which no one has ever seen
@@JP-2112 With a 'nice top'?
He mixed up Austria with Australia.
For further information, there's a Wikipedia article "German Forest", which historically includes Austria. It's not an article about botanics! But about its "mysticism" in German culture.
_The German Forest (German: Deutscher Wald) was a phrase used both as a metaphor as well as to describe in exaggerated terms an idyllic landscape in German poems, fairy tales and legends of the early 19th-century Romantic period. Historical and cultural discourses declared it as the symbol of Germanic-German art and culture, or as in the case of Heinrich Heine or Madame de Staël, as a counter-image of French urbanity. It was also used with reference to historical or legendary events in German forests, such as Tacitus' description of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest or even the nature mysticism of the stylized Germanic national myth, the Nibelungenlied as the history of its multi-faceted reception shows._
Jordan is so on point this was excellent 😂😂😂
Can you believe he asked those guys if any were illegal immigrants? Can you imagine if any of them said, "Yes."?
That would've been hilarious.
If they're on the WH lawn standing behind the orange dodo...they were all already background checked
That was the worst "joke" in the whole show; he was making fun of the tragedy that befalls so many people right now.
love this show
Cruz's cowboy boots and pinkie ring are throwing me off
Weirdos will be weird!
It's like he asked an AI how to increase the Polls and said, "install 2 poles."
😀
Same joke from the show but worse kudos
Love you Jordan!!!!
Daily Show knocks it out of the park consistently!!
Thank you for the laughs we certainly need them.
Jordan, you da BOMB!
Brilliant! Thank you for this Jordan! Aces as always. 😆
Thank you daily staff writers!
It's bad when Tucker Carlson is actually right about something.
Seriously
Tucker’s just working for russia
You know what they say about broken clocks. That Cruz broke it, but also the other thing.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Even MTG tripped, hit her head, and has expressed disgust with this war talk.
Well, she does hate jews.
I'm convinced it's AI calling her "not a Christian" that has short circuited or slightly re-wired her brain, temporarily, most likely. Or Crocket and Raskin have finally knocked a modicum of sense into her.
Because in her mind it supports and acts on behalf of Jews
remember when the beast went on about Jewish space lazers? don't be giving her credit where it is not due.
She wants war with Americans, namely, anyone not sufficiently MAGA. She wants focus on this, not Iran.
awesome 💫
🤦♀️ that’s all and I thank the Daily Show for helping us laugh!

Austrian here. Our trees are as flammable as those in every other country. Great trees. Lots of lumber. But no lumberjacks, I'm sorry to say, so I suppose it's America first, again.
Wir haben sogar die großartigsten Bäume, Bäume die sich andere wünschen würden. Keine Bäume sind so grün wie die österreichischen Bäume. 😂
Haha, yes. And we don't rake the forest floors as diligently and cause wildfires 😂
He wanted to say Canada, but his dementia turned it into Austria.
Ah, a fellow Ewok here. How’s it going in your forest city? Any exploding trees lately?
That was the best interview that's been done in decades.
The way he shoehorns Biden into almost every interview... I know someone in real life who cannot stop bringing up an old grief like that, and it's immediately obvious to everyone that they need professional help.
Sounds like Trump has a crush on Biden tbh. He's obsessed with him.
“What’s Aleppo?” Moment
