Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Roy Chang. We got so much to talk about tonight. TikTok is making offers you can't refuse. America makes Canada an offer it's definitely refusing. And Trump and China are fighting so hard they should just make out already. So let's get right into the latest developments in Trade Wars. My favorite word.
It's been two weeks since Liberation Day and we're in a full-blown trade war with China, with tariffs now at 145%, which means the trade war has officially moved from shower to grower. And some people are concerned about this trade war because they want the economy to be good or something. But you know what? Trump is not stressing about it.
Yeah, that's kind of a big difference, though. It's like saying, why should I be scared to fight the rock? He's just like any other person, except much larger. Yeah, that's the scary part. But I guess Trump's people must be confident that they can push China around because they're not just throwing around tariffs, they're throwing some shade.
Yay! He's really calling Chinese people peasants. Nobody likes to be called a peasant. Even legit peasants are like, actually, I consider myself more of a agricultural entrepreneur. But yeah, JD Vance called the Chinese peasants a couple weeks ago, and now that the news finally got to their villages by donkey cart, they are pissed.
At the same time though, saying you're a 5,000 year old civilization doesn't intimidate Americans, because half the people here don't even think the Earth is that old. Also, let's just be real, okay? There's no way Americans are the peasants here. Do peasants have medical debt? Didn't think so. Checkmate, China. But it's not just Chinese officials who are mad.
China has extremely online losers just like our peasants, and they're mad too.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, is that, is that Michael Kosta? How did the third whitest host of a daily show go viral in China before the Asian one? That's up. That's... That's... That's the same triangle in everything. Wait, is China watching this? Oh, okay, well, uh, hey, thanks for watching this. Um... Hi, Chinese friends. I don't believe what I'm saying right now.
I'm just robbing Paramount. Thank you for using this video. I was just talking tough to China. But words are not China's only weapon in this trade war. They're also using, you know, trade.
Okay, so rare earth metals are critical. Well, maybe we should have thought that before we launched a trade war against a country that had them all. I mean, where are we gonna get our gadolinium now, huh? We're gonna buy Congolese gadolinium? That shit's mid. Well, what else are they hitting us with?
Come on, you're not going to accept our Boeing jets? Well, good luck finding another plane with self-crashing technology. Is there anything else?
Oh, no. If Chinese students stop coming to the US, who are Americans going to lose their spots to? Indians? Yeah, yeah, that'll work, yeah, actually. Actually, yes. But look, Americans have to stay strong, okay? I don't wanna hear any whining. Oh no, China's not buying our made-in-America products. Well, suck it up, patriots.
Certain industries are just gonna have to suffer, and that's how it is, because this is war.
Okay, that. This war has gone too far. Some of our finest, most likable Chinese-Malaysian actors have built a career in Asian-themed movies that depend on the Chinese market, all right? It's called... It's called Crazy Rich Asians, not Crazy Just Getting By Asians. And don't forget, this affects you too, China.
If you ban American movies, how will you ever find out the ending to all these remakes of movies from decades ago? But as drastic as some of these trade policies are, they're nothing compared to the awesome power of Chinese propaganda. And luckily for China, we all have a Chinese propaganda app on our phones.
I am getting you that Gucci bag for your birthday. But forget about the designer products because these TikToks aren't just offering cheap Chanel bags. They're offering cheap everything. Do you want to buy laundry pots?
Good news, honey. I am getting you that prefabricated house for Memorial Day. For more on the trade war, we go live to the White House with Troy Iwata.
Okay, Troy, please don't thank the trade war, all right? If tensions keep building, it could be economically devastating.
They're real if you believe, Ronnie. Okay, but if everyone can afford to get them, are they even really luxury goods anymore?
This is still a huge risk, all right? Is it really worth a market crash just to get a washing machine for 20 bucks? A whole washing machine for $20?
When we come back, Michael Kosta visits our new estate, so don't go away. Thank you. Welcome back to The Daily Show. Donald Trump might be in the middle of a trade war, but we shouldn't forget his other wars. Michael Kosta checked in on them just to find out what's going on.
