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, Michael Kostas.
welcome to the daily show i'm michael costo we've got so much to talk about tonight truck flexes his medical expertise daily show historians rank america's greatest moments and if you're planning a summer trip through the straight of whore moves it just got a lot more expensive also don't do that uh let's get into the headlines Let's kick things off with some fun news. President Trump hosted an IndyCar event at the White House. Now, if you don't know what IndyCar is, it's for fans who have more class than NASCAR but less money than F1. And say what you want about Trump, he's a showman. So I expect to see him hype up this exciting event with some energy. Yeah, um... Maybe it doesn't have that Eye of the Tiger energy.
This would be like if instead of running up the steps of the museum, Rocky took the chairlift. Laziest Rocky ever. He doesn't even work out. He just drinks the eggs. Stay down, Rocky. Okay. Would still be a better reboot than the new Moana. Oh, poor Disney. I hope The Rock is okay after that. But you know what? I understand why Trump might be a little down. He's on a sad weekend. His best friend was poisoned by his other best friend. No, no, no, no, no, no. Putin did not kill Lindsey Graham while he was in Ukraine. It's just a suspicious coincidence that makes a lot of sense when you think about it. But according to President Trump, Lindsey died from a specific medical... You know what? Let's let the president just delicately explain it.
Do you think we know the whole story about his death?
Well, I think we do. We've had great doctors and they talked about, you know, a certain part of his body literally blew up.
That's right. Part of his body blew up. The New England Journal of Medicine calls it spontaneous kablooey syndrome. It's actually a fairly common cause of death. Well, remember when Queen Elizabeth II died after her vagina went boom. But now the question is, who will fill in the senator's seat until the next election? I assume someone like the lieutenant governor or the secretary of state. Whatever political process we have in place for this.
We now know who will fill Senator Lindsey Graham's seat in the U.S. Senate. His sister.
Or his sister. I guess.
