Trump Dumps Toxic Ballroom Debris on Golf Course & DJ Marco Rubio Loves 90s Rap | Marla Mindelle

from The Daily Show: Ears Edition · host Comedy Central

The Iran War might be ended with a Post-it, Marco Rubio's rap-obsessed DJ persona bleeds into his secretary of state work, and Trump's White House ballroom construction could cost taxpayers $1 billion, while the toxic debris from the East Wing could cost nearby golfers a lung. Plus, Desi Lydic and Michael Kosta try to determine the creep level of GOP Congressman Chuck Edwards, who allegedly sexually harassed his staff with unwelcome advances and Adam Sandler puzzles. The U.S. is commemorating its upcoming semiquincentennial with America's Time Capsule, which will be sealed for 250 years for the dubious benefit of future generations. Troy Iwata hit the streets to find out what present-day patriots think the time capsule should include, and whether America will still be around by then. Marla Mindelle, the star, co-writer, and co-creator of the musical “Titaníque,” talks to Desi about the journey of this over-the-top retelling of “Titanic” through Céline Dion’s perspective from a drunken idea in LA to a Broadway show with four Tony nominations, including two for Mindelle’s performance and writing. She also describes how improv and topical jokes keep the show fresh night after night and how she gets into character as Céline Dion. -- Head to https://Quince.com/dailyshow for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
