The Daily Show: Ears Edition

Mitch McConnell dispels rumors about his death just in time for Anthropic insiders to announce that AI could kill us all in as little as six months. Thumbs up, Mitch! Josh Johnson dives into the headlines, including Trump’s answer to the urgent threat of AI: Everything will be fine as long as we have a “high IQ president." Which might be a problem. Can solar geoengineering cool the planet? Michael Kosta sits down with Make Sunsets founder Luke Iseman, who's taking the fight to climate change with the power of sulphur-filled balloons. But will Iseman's approach really deflate the climate crisis, or is he just high on his own supply? With the help of climate experts Shuchi Talati and David Keith, Kosta stops at nothing to get to the bottom of this, even if it means channeling his inner Walter White. Danielle Brooks joins Josh Johnson to talk about her new film, “If I Go Will They Miss Me,” where she plays Lozita, a mother caught between a son who worships his father like a God and a dad who can’t see himself that way. Brooks talks about shooting on-location in Watts, honoring the real woman her character is inspired by, and what motherhood has taught her about the roles she takes. -- Dose - New customers can save 35% on your first month of subscription by going to https://dosedaily.co/TDS or entering TDS at checkout. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Check out all of this week's great guests. Republican Governor Spencer Cox joins Jon Stewart to discuss his new book, “Off Ramp: How to Be a Peacemaker in an Age of Contempt,” and reveals how the assassination of Charlie Kirk in his home state of Utah pushed him to finish writing it. Gov. Cox believes genuine, good-faith debate is the only way out of America’s polarization crisis and explains how Utah’s handling of religious freedom and LGBTQ+ rights shows that opposing sides can find common ground.

Michael Kosta sits down with best-selling author and New Yorker staff writer Jia Tolentino to chat about her latest piece, "Our Plastic-Surgery Nightmare.” The two discuss “Instagram face,” a term Tolentino coined in 2019, and how social media algorithms, AI, and big tech are tainting our perception of beauty.

Trump’s Republican Midterm Convention flops with low turnout, empty promises, and GOP behavior that is just straight up weird (we’re looking at you, Tim Scott). Michael Kosta dives into the highlights, including Trump’s pledge to give out $5,000 "dividends" if the GOP wins the House and Senate, the president's unhelpful roast of Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton, and an onstage gavel that is just… too big.

Ronny Chieng dives into Trump's appearance at the NATO summit "love-fest," where he picked new fights with Spain and Denmark, converted Japan into an Islamic Republic, and bemoaned his on-again, off-again ceasefire with Iran. Sen. Mitch McConnell's three-week absence has led many to wonder if he's even alive, but CNN's Scott Jennings put that question to rest with a totally believable claim that he chatted with the senator for an oddly specific 17 minutes. (tag)Michael Kosta went to the hospital where McConnell is staying to get the truth from the man himself, and defends the perfectly not-dead senator against a skeptical Ronny.
