Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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.

Chapter 2: 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.
You've made so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the U.S. Can you explain more about why you would pardon a notorious drug trafficker?

Chapter 3: What controversial actions has Trump taken regarding drug trafficking?
Venezuela is doing it now, but Trump's still about to bomb them. Okay, well, God damn it. I mean, make up your mind, America. Do you want drugs or not? God, God, I feel like I'm back in high school again when I couldn't tell who was wearing the D.A.R.E.
Chapter 4: Why did Trump pardon the former president of Honduras?
shirts ironically or not. Just like, tell me what the policy is. I mean, I think the policy is whatever the president wants to do at the time. Okay, well, that's up. Why do you keep doing that? I don't know. I'm starting to think this stuff is addictive. Troy Awada, everyone. When we come back, we find out if AI is going to put us on the streets, so don't go away.

Welcome back to The Daily Show. Artificial intelligence might enslave the entire human race, but what if it did something even worse? Ronny Chieng has more. America is spending hundreds of billions of dollars on AI infrastructure. Wait, why are we spending hundreds of billions of dollars on AI infrastructure? Ah, dammit, I'm gonna have to talk to some nerd about this, aren't I?
like Peter Wilderford of the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy. I've used AI. Did I ejaculate? Yes. Was it the best sex thing ever? Not really. So what's the big deal about it?
The big deal is what AI might be able to do in the future. The level of investment's actually now even exceeding the Manhattan Project.
That's right, the Manhattan Project, the four-year program where the US spent the equivalent of $37 billion in today's dollars to build a working nuclear bomb. all in an attempt to finally defeat Barbie once and for all. So why is the AI infrastructure build-out costing ten times that?
It is essentially a big bet that AI will generate a lot of profit in the future, and that we will get AGI before the money runs out.
Obviously, I know what AGI is, but for dumbasses like Michael Kosta who might be watching this, could you please explain it to them?

Chapter 5: How does the AI bubble relate to the current job market?
So now we're going into improv land. I have no idea what I'm going to do, but I'm going to try. Okay. So maybe we can get a shot from above. Can we see from above? So you verify to the audience, all different, all mixed up. It's not the same card repeated, right? Uh-huh. So here's a question. If I just place them, let's say, here. Okay, name any card that pops into your head right this second.
Remember, the deck is here. I can't lose anything.
Seven of hearts.
You don't know where the seven of hearts is. The seven of hearts could be literally, could be here, right? It could be there. It could be right where I cut it.
That is wild.
In my country, that's considered amazing.
Yeah.
No, I'm just saying. Yeah, yeah. They did not respond to it.
Yeah, yeah. So I had to.
