You're listening to Comedy Central. From the most trusted journalist at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news. This is The Daily Show with your host, Desi Leidig.

Welcome to The Daily Show.

I'm Desi Leidig. We've got a great show for you tonight. We watch Trump's town hall, so you don't have to. Biden's in Impeachment just got impeached, and we made Michael Costa go to Duluth. So let's jump right into it with our ongoing coverage of Indecision 2024. Let's kick things off with poor Donald Trump. This week alone, he was fined for $355 million. Historians voted him the worst President of all time. And Madame Webb turned out to be too bad to even jerk off to. A real setback for him. So Last night, Trump took his ego to the Day Spa, also known as Fox News, where he sat down with Laura Ingres, who came cosplaying as a purse. She asked Trump one of the big questions on everyone's mind.

What qualities are you looking for in your vice presidential pick?

Well, always the first quality has to be somebody that you think will be a good president. A lot of people are talking about that gentleman right over there. Tim Scott. He has been much better for me than he was for himself. I watched this campaign, and he doesn't like talking about himself. But boy, does he talk about Trump?

I'm sure he talks about him to his therapist.

God, that was so humiliating.

Trump basically said, You're only useful when you talk about how wonderful I am. And Tim just had to sit there and smile. I mean, who knew Trump also liked to grab him by the balls? Okay, Donald Trump, tell us why he'd be a good vice president, and you make it even more humiliating.

The one thing that always surprises me is that the VP choice has absolutely no impact. It's whoever the President is. It just seems...

Always remember, Tim, no one cannot matter fight like you can't. Now get out there and show the world nothing. Now, one thing Trump did have going for him was that it seemed like Joe Biden would be going into the general election facing an impeachment over his son's business dealings. If you've been watching Fox News, you would know that the case against Biden was a slam dunk, thanks to one of their GOP star witnesses. Just listen to Fox News anchor and human polo shirt, Jesse Waters.

The highly credible FBI informant says Is it the Burizma executive who allegedly bribed Joe Biden, has audio recordings of Joe and of Hunter. One of the FBI's top informants, a guy with impeccable credentials, a great track record. The highly credible, multilingual, extremely trustworthy, long-time, confidential FBI informant.

Wow. Highly credible, extremely trustworthy, multilingual, proficient at Excel, a good tipper, a generous lover, always puts the seat down. This guy is rock solid, bulletproof, impeachment case closed.

In a new court filing, federal prosecutors allege one of the FBI's owned long-time informants spun bogus tales about President Biden and his son Hunter after meeting with Russian intelligence officials.

Alexander Smirnov was arrested Wednesday, charged with lying about financial ties between the President, his son Hunter, and the Ukrainian energy company, Burisma, allegations that have been central to the Republicans' impeachment push.

Yeah. Not only was this guy lying about Joe Biden getting bribes, the FBI says that he was also working with Russian intelligence. Yeah, Russia, again. Can we please just get a new storyline? Just once. I want to hear that like, Bhutan is meddling in our elections. Just to mix things up. I mean, didn't we just find out that aliens are real? Maybe they want to get in on this. So the impeachment case against Biden just took a big hit, although it wasn't that strong to begin with. I mean, it's like saying when Jimmy Carter entered hospice, he blew his chances of making the NBA. Now that prosecutors say this guy is a liar working with Russian intelligence, surely Jesse, a responsible journalist, is taking it upon himself to apologize and make the necessary corrections.

Everyone who blows the whistle on the Biden syndicate or his connected to it has been arrested. What does that tell you? Joe Biden is a smooth operator. Informants, business partners, whistleblowers, they're all paying a price, but the Biden family has never paid a price. You got to hand it to the big guy. He's getting away with it.

That was an interesting way to say, I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I personally would not have responded to this by accusing Biden of arresting his enemies. But hey, every news outlet has different standards. Some issue corrections, Jessie issues an old-caps Facebook comment. That's the beauty of free speech. You can say whatever you want out of your big dumb mouth. For some political analysis of these accusations, we turn to our very own Jordan Klepper. Jordan. Jordan, does Jesse Waters really expect us to believe that Joe Biden is a criminal mastermind?

Absolutely, Desi. If you watch Fox News, They make a simple, compelling argument. Joe Biden is a diabolical scheme machine with the tyrannical heart of a 50-foot Joseph Stalin. He's a master conductor, playing America's Justice Department like he's Bradley Cooper and Maestro, but without the problematic nose.

I'm sorry, but isn't Fox News also constantly painting the picture of Joe Biden as a doddering old man?

Well, yes, because he's also that, too. If you watch Fox News, you understand that Joe Biden is unable to form a complete sentence or stay up past 3:00 PM. He spends his day shuffling around the White House in an open bathrobe, mumbling half thoughts to his own shriveled genitalia. Sorry, but he's a mastermind? Oh, a mastermind, Desi. With a strong smooth penis. A mastermind the likes of which the world has never seen. Rest assured, he is the author of all the miseries of the world. Ukraine, Gaza, the border, inflation, that thing where you bite your cheek and then keep biting that same spot. It's just, the goddamn Biden crime family got me again.

Jordan, please help me put these two narratives together. What does a day in the life of Joe Biden look like?

Oh, well, you'd be lucky if you got Sleepy Joe out of bed before 10:00 AM. Then it's straight to the masterminding. He spends the morning shaking down Ukrainian energy companies and cooking crack for his son until lunch, a small portion of Jello and cottage cheese if he's good. That poor bastard can barely get it in his mouth. Then in comes the head of the FBI and George Soros, eager to decide which innocent Americans they'll audit, execute, and harvest for adrenochrome. Then, Jeopardy, always Jeopardy. Never misses it. Then back to Evil until early Bedtime at 7, where he returns to the coffin in his underground lair, surrounded by the bats he's using to start the next COVID.

Wow. Okay. This is on Fox.

This is all on Fox. I don't know if I can believe all of that at once. The good news is you don't have to. Just believe whatever parts keep you scared enough to watch through the commercial break. Then Fox News will be happy. Don't get too afraid, though. Joe Biden can smell fear from over a mile away. It's how he hunts.

Wow. Truly terrifying. Thank you for that, Jordan Klepper. Jordan Klapper, everyone. When we come back, we'll find out why to lose. It's ready for the end of the world.

Mtv's official Challenge podcast is back for another season.

That's right. The challenge is back, and so are we.

I'm Devon Simone.

And I'm Devon Rogers.

Now, you all know we had so much fun covering the Challenge USA one together that we thought, Why not do it again? So we are joining forces to dive into this brand new season.

Season 39, battle for a new champion. Yes.

Yes. 24 contenders will compete to win their first championship. They know the battle, but not the victory.

Oh, thank God. I am ready for a new champion. A new one, okay? Give us some fresh faces, people.

Girl, I couldn't agree more. So every week after the episode airs, come hang with us as we break down all the challenges and eliminations, and of course, get the inside scoop on all the drama.

And we got all the tea, okay? We will be joined by the cast members themselves every week, you all.

Listen to MTV's official Challenge podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to The Daily Show.

It's only a matter of time before rising sea levels swallow America's coastline. But where will all the coastal elites go? Michael Costa went to find out.

Super hurricanes, drought, wildfires turning New York City the color of Sunny D. Across America, climate change is wreaking havoc and driving people from their homes. And experts say this is only the beginning.

This is in the order of millions of people.

So where might they go? Climate researchers say the answer is in and up. Think Dulce.

Wow. So millions of coastal elites like myself will one day be flocking to Minnesota? Is this the city of the future? Let's find out. Am I moving? I can't feel my legs. I'm not moving. Why was there not a jacket in my suitcase? To learn more, I met with Chief Sustainability Officer, Mindy Grandly. So tell me about Duluth.

Well, Duluth is a great city.

We're on a great lake. We have lots of fresh water.

Do you mind if we finish this inside? Because if I don't go inside in seven seconds, my heart's going to explode. Of course. Okay, let's go. Oh, my gosh.

Let's go.

So what are you saying about Duluth?

Duluth.

What are you saying about Duluth?

Well, experts have called Duluth a climate refuge because we're a place that's fairly safe from the worst effects of climate change.

You're talking about in 50 years when this climate change thing really gets bad, right?

A few people are moving here now from California because of climate change.

So you're telling me people are moving here from the good states?

Yes.

Mindy claims Duluth has big advantages, like 10% of the world's drinking water in Lake Superior, and room for up to 10,000 new residents, because it's basically that barren ice planet from Star Wars. Some people can handle 80 inches of snow every winter. Eighty inches of snow? Over 80. Jesus Christ. Do you think those big UN climate change summits would be more effective if people knew that the alternative was having to move to Duluth?

Well, there's really no bad weather. There's bad clothing.

Bad clothing. So people are still wearing Balenciaga here?

We don't know what that is.

Despite this vast cultural divide, coastal refugees are getting ready to flood Duluth. But are the locals prepared? There's a migrant caravan of Californians coming. They're bringing their spin instructors, their kombucha makers, their oatmeal. You ready for that? I don't mind having a few more friends. Any advice for refugees that are coming here? Sure. You can need to dress really warm. But they can't dress warmly because then they would lose their job as Instagram models.

Well, it's going to be hard to be a bikini model here.

I mean, you're laughing, but this is important to my culture. To your culture. It felt like you were speaking two different languages, but how deep was this divide? Polo or rugby?

Oh, rugby, for sure. Why? Because I like sports that- No, I don't mean the sport.

I'm talking about names for children. Oh, God. Hilo or rugby?

Neither.

Are there any members There's only exclusive clubs here.

Well, there's Sam's Club on Costco.

So I can do cocaine in the bathroom there? I even got some words of wisdom from former Duluth mayor, Emily Larson, seen here in a press conference last July. Duluth is gritty and resilient and real. We work hard.

We really care about each other.

That's going to be tough for some of these people in LA because they don't work hard and they don't care about each other. But the first wave of Californians are already here. So how are they surviving?

It does feel like another planet sometimes.

Meet ex-Californian and environmentalist Jamie Alexander.

We packed into a camper van thinking we were going to drive out here and spend the summer. And then wildfire season of 2020 happened, and I decided to move my family here because of climate change.

Let's be honest, okay? There's no DeLutherians here. Is it DeLutherians? Delutherians? Delutherians. Delutherians. All right, let's be honest. There's no DeLutherians here, okay? This place sucks, right? It doesn't.

I love it here. I want to live in a place where it feels real.

People say that DeLutherians, Dulags, are more real. People. A New Yorker spits in my face, it feels pretty real.

Yeah. I think what is meant by that is here, you're connected to your neighbors. Everywhere is going to experience climate impacts. If a climate-related weather event happened, would you be able to lean on your neighbors?

I've lived in New York for seven years. I don't know my neighbor, and I don't want to know my neighbor. Next question, do you have a winter jacket for me? I didn't. This is not cutting it. And my BMI is under 2%, you know what I'm saying? Jamie told me to really understand Duluthians, I would have to walk a mile in their shoes, even if mine were nicer. These boots are DeLuca. I'm not going to get snow on them, am I? You probably will. You ready to do it?

I'm ready.

Let's go.

They're hard to walk in at first.

Okay, there goes my suit. Hey, those look like huge, almost rats.

They're dear.

Do they ever take the pizza out of your hand when you're on the subway or anything?

No.

No. You're lucky. Duluth was starting to grow on me, but there was just one problem.

The The idea that there's a climate-proof city is, A, it's not true at all, and B, it's dangerous because every place on Earth is already experiencing climate impacts, and climate change is happening now, and people are making huge life-changing decisions because of it.

Then what the am I doing here? I left my wife and family for a week to come here, and it's not even a real climate refuge?

No.

Damn. I knew the only thing that could cheer up this coastal elite was hitting the spa. But Unfortunately for me in Duluth, even the spa is terrifying.

We had to remove 30 inches of ice so that you can go jump in it. Oh, my God. And your body is going to tell you you're going to die. But you're retraining some of those neuro pathways in your head to say, Hey, I can handle hard stuff.

Yeah, I can handle this. Maybe once I get used to it, the cold isn't so bad. I'm frozen to the thick. Well, at least I can go back to New York. God damn it. That's my car. Thank you, Michael. When we come back, Maite Alberti will be joining us on this show, so don't go away.

Welcome back to the Daily My guest tonight is a producer and director who's filmed The Eternal Memory, is currently nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Please welcome Mitei Alberti. Oh, my take. Thank you so much for being here. This film is so beautiful. I loved it so much. And congratulations on your Oscar nomination.

Thank you.

This isn't your first. This is your second Oscar nomination. First, you were nominated for The Mole Agent, which was also an incredible film. If you haven't seen it, go watch it. But this particular film, The Eternal Memory, is It's such a beautiful story. It's centered around a man who is living with Alzheimer's and his wife who's caring for him. It completely took me by surprise at how joyful and inspiring this film is. And truly, it's a powerful love story. Did you know that going into it when you went to make it, or was it something that unfolded as you went on?

Thank you. You make the perfect description of the film, I think, because I really felt it for the first time as a love story. And I always said that it's a big love story in the context of the Alzheimer's, when the Alzheimer's, it's not a tragedy, it's only a talent. And yes, since I met them personally, I was so surprised that they can have a relationship and be in love and trying to be in the world, not leaving the Alzheimer's as a drama. And being a couple. And that was very special for me from the beginning.

How did you meet the two of them and ask them to participate in the documentary?

Well, they are very important figures in Chile. I admire them for all my life. He's a very important journalist, and she's a very important actress, but I didn't know them personally. I met them in a work context. She was teaching in a university where I was teaching, too. And I realized that she brings him to her work. After that, he got Alzheimer's, and all the people that work with her helped her to take care of him, and they were in the world, into society. They were not isolated. They speak openly about the topic in their day-by-day and in medias, and that was very special. And since I saw that, I invite them to make a film.

I love that so much about the film that she was bringing him out into the world. He was doing everything with her. They were going on long walks and having these lovely scenes in the café, enjoying a lunch together and laughing and just really being so loving with one another. You chose to tell the story in a nonlinear way. We travel through time through footage, home video footage that they took from years ago as a young family to modern day to a period of time through the pandemic. What inspired you to tell the story that way?

Yeah, I think that was very important for me to don't make the chronic of a deterioration, that I think that we are very used to see films of Alzheimer's, fiction films that are drama of deterioration. And in this case, I wanted to build the story of a memory and how a memory of a relationship and how you see that relationship through years. For me, it's a film about 25 years of relationship, not only the moment that I was a viewer of, that was the last five years. It was the idea of construct what was meaningful for them today of that past and how you can understand what he's still remembering today of that previous years.

It was interesting. I found Like the scene that we just showed, the clip that we showed, those were the most delightful scenes in the movie, and they were well into his diagnosis. The previous footage of them as a young family was beautiful and it gave context. But seeing those scenes were just... It really is true unconditional love, the way that they were so present with one another, enjoying one another in this moment in time. Is that something that's embedded in the Chilean culture, or was this specific to the two of them as a couple?

No, I think it's very specific of them. They really decided to live their summer in that way, in a funny mode, in a good mode, enjoying the present and understanding that, yeah, it was a challenge, but it was very special from them. I feel, too, that you see the pain in the film, but you see good days and bad days, and it's a mix. I think that it's the good thing of documentaries. In this case, you can feel it that they are not genres as in fiction, that it's like a comedy or a drama or a thriller. Here you have all the emotions coexist and you see a bad day, and then a good day, and then a bad day, and then very good day, and at the end, the balance is lightness. I always said that it's a very feeling good film because they are living that in a very good mood.

I want to ask you about the process. So many of the scenes were really were very intimate and very vulnerable for him and for the two of them as a couple. How did you manage to navigate telling this story and holding their story so tenderly in the way that you did without crossing a boundary or being intrusive in any way?

Well, I think that there are many reasons for that. The first one was that he decided to make the film. It was very difficult to convince her. I will probably say the same reason that she gave me to be very aware of show the fragility And he was the one that said to her and to me, I shot so many people in my life during dictatorship. So many people opened their doors to my camera to show their pain. So why I'm not going to show my own fragility? And in that moment, that was so clear. So they were completely on the project when he decided. And they opened the doors in a very generous way. And it took me five years to make the films. And probably the first years were to construct this relationship. But then they were very used to the camera. And they were people that work with the camera all their lives. So it was like a comfortable environment to them, too. So we really go into a deep intimacy. And during COVID, she takes the camera and she shot part of the film that it's very amazing how deep and profound are her scenes.

Yeah, I sent the camera. She never learned how to use it. As you can see, she was completely out of focus.

She's like, I have a few notes. I gave her a few notes.

No, I tried. I tried to teach her, but she never, never learned. But...

She's like, I'm not an academy award-winning director, okay?

Yeah, exactly. When I received the material, it was like, I can never use TV. But it was a big lesson for me about cinema because at the end, you don't care that her seams are out of focus because it's so intimate to see a couple in the middle of the night at 2:00 AM alone. But I never saw something like that, and that it's very, very special. And I think that the limits we build it together. And at the end was very clear the last day for me, that was a day that he said, I'm not anymore. And she said, Yes, you are. And it was the first time in five years that I felt me uncomfortable there because he was uncomfortable comfortable with himself after five years. So it was very clear, the limit, I think.

He got to a certain point where he said, I'm not feeling quite like myself.Yes.Right?

And that was-Yes. So you don't need to see more You can understand how that move forward.

Well, something like over 55 million people in this world suffer from dementia-related diseases. So this clearly has a huge impact on a lot of people in this world. What do you hope that for people who are dealing with it, personally or within their families, what do you hope that they take away from the film?

I think it's that number plus the caregivers that are with this person, that it's always a situation of isolation. For me, this is the perfect example of how we can deal with the disease at least the first years, like trying to be on the world, trying to be on society, trying to enjoy the present. Here in the film, we see something that is very special because when he got isolated was in the COVID period, and he deteriorated so fast. Their doctors told us he got very fast because he didn't have the sociability that he had before. For me, it's a very good example of how we have to integrate people with dementia into society and caregivers, too.

That's right. That's so right. Well, I just want to thank you for making this film. It's something that has effect in my family as well. It is so inspiring to see this story being told in such an honest way and in a way that doesn't grieve what has been lost, but really celebrates all the love and the joy that remains.

The good love and the good life. Thank you very much.Thank you.
