You're listening to Comedy Central. From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news. This is The Daily Show with your host, Josh Johnson.
Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Josh Johnson. We've got so much to talk about tonight. The war on drugs continues, and this time we're on the side of drugs. We break down the latest tips to kiss Trump's ass and bad news. AI might kill us soon, but good news, AI might kill us soon. So let's get into the headlines. Let's begin with President Trump. He started his second term in January, promising to keep America out of foreign wars. Now it's December, and he almost made it a year.
President Trump hinting at land strikes in Venezuela as backlash on the controversial boat strikes deepens.
We're going to start doing those strikes on land, too. You know, the land is much easier. It's much easier. And we know the routes they take. We know everything about them. We know where they live. We know where the bad ones live.
We know where they live. We know if they've been good or bad. What is he, Drone Strike Santa? So yeah, Trump is launching a war on narco-terrorists, which, by the way, I get why he calls them narco-terrorists, because Americans know how to feel about terrorists. We hate those guys. But if you just say it's a war on drug dealers, that's a person we invited to bring us drugs that we wanted. That's like if they told you to start hating your Amazon delivery guy. Like, that's your guy. He's bringing your blender. But hey, this war in Venezuela just shows how serious Donald Trump is about going after these drug traffickers. If there's even one guy on a little fishing boat, Trump's taking him out. So drug dealers, watch your back.
President Trump has issued a full and unconditional pardon for the former president of Honduras. Juan Orlando Hernandez was serving a 45-year sentence after he was convicted on major drug trafficking charges in the U.S. last year.
Like I just said... Drug dealers, watch your back, because Trump is about to give you a nice massage.
What is Trump's stance on drug traffickers and how does it affect U.S. policy?
I don't even know what's crazier, that President Trump is pardoning the president of Honduras for selling drugs, or that the president of Honduras was selling drugs. People work their whole lives just to become president, so for you to get there and say to yourself, now I get to do my dream, is crazy. At least Walter White had a teacher salary. You're the president, and not only are you selling drugs, you're so bad at it, you get arrested in a whole different country. But maybe I'm missing something about this pardon. Maybe he's not some kingpin. I mean, this is America, the country that locks people up for years just because they happen to have a little baggie of drugs. How do we know this marginalized president deserved 45 years?
I'm sure whatever this guy did, it wasn't that bad.
Juan Orlando Hernandez helped smuggle 400 tons of cocaine into the US.
I'm sorry, 400 tons of cocaine? First of all, how do you even shove all that up your ass? I didn't even know you could measure cocaine in tons. It's like if someone told you they weigh 48 degrees Fahrenheit. Like, the you talking about? 400 tons of cocaine, that sounds like all the cocaine in the world. Give me another unit based on not all the cocaine in the world.
More than 400 tons, which is about 4.5 billion individual doses of cocaine.
Doses? Is that the term? Hey, man, I'm gonna head to the bathroom and do a couple of recommended serving sizes. You could tell this is someone who doesn't know about cocaine because you don't measure it in doses. You measure it in half-written screenplays. All right? That's like saying, hey, do you mind if I get another dollop of meth? But the point is...
But the point is, in the middle of an active war against drug traffickers, Donald Trump has pardoned a man who smuggled in enough cocaine to give every American resting Kash Patel face. It's confusing to say the least, but if I know Donald Trump, he'll have a very coherent and well-thought-out explanation for this pardon.
