Trump Talks S**t at the U.N., Rebrands AI as "Superintelligence" & Praises Mamdani | Tom Morello
The Daily Show: Ears EditionShow Notes
Desi Lydic dives into the headlines with Trump’s press ban leaving him speechless (literally, he has no mic anymore). Plus, "AI" is out and “super intelligence” is in as the president coins a new term for his favorite humanity-threatening technology. And at the U.N., Trump’s passion for AI and starting beef come together as he dunks on other countries (and CNN), though by the looks of things, their delegates couldn’t care less. Either way, at least he still got to bro out with his favorite socialist Zohran Mamdani before leaving NYC. The great thing about America is anyone can run for office, and no one exemplifies that more than John Alite, a former mob enforcer turned New Jersey councilman. After doing time for "every crime you could think about," Alite turned his back on his hitman days and became a public servant in Englishtown, NJ. Josh Johnson had a sit-down with Alite to see how his extensive resume of bad deeds puts him in a unique position to do some good for his fellow New Jerseyans, and to find out whether this goodfella's redemption story is too good to be true. Grammy-winning artist Tom Morello sits down with Desi to discuss his new solo album, “Everyone Gets Everything They Want.” Morello shares how this is the heaviest thing he’s made since the first Rage Against the Machine album, how he lured his 15-year-old son, Roman, into a guitar career using “Stairway to Heaven” and how Roman ended up co-writing five songs on the album. He also discusses his upcoming festival, Power to the People, and credits his late activist mother, Mary, as the reason he believes every guitar riff can be an act of resistance. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Catch all of the past week's great guests in one place. Jacob Coxon, a former Anthropic and OpenAI researcher who spoke out about the dangers of artificial intelligence, opens up to Jon Stewart about the grim reality of the tech industry— from malicious hacks to potential biological attacks. The two discuss the future, AI-led utopia that tech companies are trying to sell us, the megalomania and riskiness that underlie the industry, and the terrifying capabilities Coxon witnessed while training AI models at Anthropic and OpenAI. Academy Award-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin sits down with Michael Kosta to discuss writing and directing his new film, "The Social Reckoning." Sorkin discusses revisiting Mark Zuckerberg as an anti-hero 16 years after “The Social Network,” balancing his role as both writer and director of the film, and recounting how intense physicality during the writing process once landed him in the hospital with a broken nose. Sebastian Stan sits down with Michael to talk about the Palme d'Or-winning film “Fjord,” which explores the story of an immigrant family in Norway whose children are taken away by authorities who believe they’re acting for the right reasons. Stan opens up about his personal connections to the film, leaving Romania at the age of eight, and reconnecting with the country he left behind. Plus, Kosta talks about Stan’s eclectic career choices, from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to playing President Donald Trump. Emmy-nominated and Golden Globe-winning actor Kyle MacLachlan joins Michael to discuss his bestselling memoir, "Fictional Selves." MacLachlan opens up about bouncing back from a disappointing debut in the 1984 version of “Dune,” the tight-knit relationship he developed with director David Lynch throughout his career, his most iconic roles from “Sex and the City” to “Showgirls,” and the surprising, industry-changing success of “Twin Peaks.” Plus, hear about the wine label MacLachlan started with his dad and how he learned to navigate Hollywood and advocate for himself on set. -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
