Survivor 47 is here, which means we're bringing you a brand new season of the only official Survivor podcast on fire. And this season, we are joined by fan favorite and Survivor 46 runner-up, Charlie Davis, to bring you even further inside the action. Charlie, I'm excited to do this together. Thanks, Jeff. So excited to be here, and I can't wait to bring you inside the mind of a Survivor player for Season 47.

Listen to On Fire, the official Survivor podcast, wherever you get your podcasts. 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 Kosta. Welcome to The Daily Show.

We've got so much to talk about tonight. The NYPD does the bare minimum. Fox News throws a party for themselves. And America's got a crush on a bad boy, like really like murder bad. Anyways, let's get into the headlines. Let's start with the breaking news. For the last few days, there's been a killer on the loose in America. Well, there's actually tons of killers on the loose in America. But this one killed someone important. So they were really looking for him.

And personally, I'm glad they found him yesterday. Call me old-fashioned, but I think murdering people in cold blood by shooting them in the back is wrong. So I'm glad that this ice-cold assassin is off the streets. Let's find out more about his dark and mysterious past. Police officially charging 26-year-old Luigi Mangione... Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up. What? The assassin's name is Luigi Mangione? Did they find him hiding in a big pipe? I mean...

I'm kidding. I'm kidding. The cops were able to locate him after following the trail of Fettuccine Alfredo leading out of Central Park. It's okay, I can make fun of Italians because Italians annoy the shit out of me. But fine.

But fine, he's Italian. Does that mean he's a criminal? Probably. But what evidence, what evidence do they have that this is the guy? According to court records, the suspected killer had 3D printed ghost gun on him, several fake IDs, $8,000 in cash, and a three-page handwritten manifesto. Okay, okay, that's a lot of evidence. That's a lot of evidence. Um,

What else did they find on him? Was he wearing a T-shirt that said, I shot a CEO and all I got is this lousy T-shirt? Also, are they sure that New Jersey ID was fake? I feel like if your name is Luigi Mangione, you're born with a New Jersey ID. It just slides out with you like the placenta, right?

But we can't give all the credit to the Altoona police just because they caught him. Because the NYPD, well, they did their part, too. They were scouring the city for days. They were looking in the bushes. They looked on some other bushes. Here they're standing on a rock. Hey, should I look in that bush? You know, f***, I don't want to do that stuff. New York's finest. Don't get me wrong.

They didn't spend the whole time barely looking in the bushes. The breakthrough in the case came as police divers continued to search a lake in New York's Central Park for items dumped by the assassin. Great work, great work. They're like, hey, you guys looking for the killer? We're going to see if he wished on any lucky pennies down here. Hey, did the killer use a gun? Because we found 5,000 of them down here.

So now that we know who the suspect is, it's time for society to indulge in its favorite pastime, obsessing over every detail about this guy's life like he's a K-pop idol. Mingione comes from a prominent Maryland family which owns multiple country clubs in the state. He was valedictorian at his graduation from a $40,000 a year private school with a carnation in his buttonhole. Oh, a carnation in his buttonhole.

Not like one of those peasants who fills his buttonholes with buttons, I guess. But see, this is why I don't want to send my kids to private school, because if they become a murderer someday, that tuition, what a waste of money, right? And that's why I support public education. Thank you. Thank you.

That didn't get the response I anticipated, but that's okay. It's surprising that he comes from such a privileged background. He's not really the kind of guy you'd expect to become a murderer. I mean, I'd expect him to crash the housing market, but not kill a guy. So we know he was privileged. He was apparently smart. But were there any other clues that something might be going wrong?

He spent time in Hawaii at a co-living space during 2022 and 2023. And two people who knew Mangione during that time say that he was dealing with frequent back pain due to an injury. One added that Mangione started a book club, but several members left due to discomfort over what he chose to read.

An online book review from January of this year, apparently written by Mangione, praises some of the writings of the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski. Yeah, you know, this is a classic mistake. You never want to start your book club with the Unabomber. I mean, you kick it off with some Sally Rooney, then a little Jonathan Franzen, then when everybody's like, we're so f***ing bored. That's when you hit them with the mail bomb stuff, okay? Yeah.

But if you're looking for something that will make you a hit with your book club, try this one. Lucky Loser. Adventures in Tennis and Comedy by me, Michael Kosta. This is an actual, real book that I wrote, and it's available to pre-order now for the holidays. Consider it my manifesto for wanting your money. Thank you.

So his medical issues could have been a motivation. The Ted Kaczynski love could have been a red flag. And recently, there was something else raising alarm bells. Mangione was in regular contact with friends and family until about six months ago when he suddenly and inexplicably stopped communicating with them. In July, a friend messaged him on X. Hey, man, I need you to call me. You made commitments to me for my wedding. And if you can't honor them, I need to know so I can plan accordingly. Yeah.

Yeah. Sorry, bro, but Luigi was busy planning the most important day of his life, okay? But this is a good reminder. When you get mad at someone for not responding, be kind. You never know what they're going through. They might be plotting an assassination.

But now this guy's been arrested, and normally, most people believe that getting a suspected killer off the streets is a good thing. But that's not exactly what happened this time. Surging support on social media for murder suspect Luigi Mangione, the hashtag free Luigi trending worldwide. Y'all saying murderer, I'm saying freedom fighter. The comments posted in reaction to the CNN news post, brutal.

McDonald's employees snitched on a working class hero. 251 likes. I hope someone creates a GoFundMe for his legal defense. Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear backpacks. Does he need someone to corroborate his alibi? Because I got him. Yes, these horrible comments should never be repeated. And now let me read all of them slowly on national television.

Look, I understand that we all hate insurance companies. I happen to think America needs free, universal health care funded by taxes. I mean, I don't know. Yeah.

But shooting a real human in the back is not heroic, and it's not going to get people what they want. And if you want real change, we have to realize that comes from a lot of people working together, doing a lot of small things, organizing, educating, voting for politicians who will actually pass universal health care. And that might not be exciting or thrilling or sexy, but if you want that, why don't you pick up a copy of my new book?

Lucky Loser. It's available for pre-order now, and it's inspired zero murders so far. Now, there is one other reason this guy's built such a fan base. He's a total snack.

And also, let's not get around the fact a lot of people find the man attractive. And so that has become this whole thing. Could he be the new hot felon? I don't know. There was talk about how some people were saying he was an attractive-looking killer. So much of the clips we were watching at the top of this segment are driven by the fact that this is an attractive person. We've got to drop the banner to show why. And it is deeply troubling that we are celebrating this person.

I love how CNN is like, I can't believe people are romanticizing this monster control room. Can we zoom in on his giant dung? My question is, is he really even that hot? I mean, take away the hair and the abs, the face, the arm, that easy smile, the way his eyes light up. I'm sorry, what are we talking about? Syria? Oh, we're talking about the guy with the incredible abs. I know everyone's getting all horned up because he's got muscles, but that's not what makes a man.

You know what does? Providing for your family. Watching most of a documentary. Thinking about Googling a charity you heard about. That's masculinity, all right? Thank you. Now, for more on the case, let's go live to the Manhattan DA's office with Ronny Chang. Ronny, Ronny, important case.

Ronnie, what's the latest? Well, Michael, we're slowly learning more about who exactly Luigi Mangione is. On the surface, a well-off private school educated young man, Ivy League graduate. He worked as a data engineer. All in all, he had a bright future. But five days ago, it took a dark turn. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Did you show...

A photo of yourself shirtless hiking? Uh, yeah. Don't worry about it. I just, uh... I just want to get some good pictures of me out there in case I'm ever in the news for murder. Wait. You're gonna murder somebody? No, I don't know. I'm not a fortune teller, all right? But if it happens someday, I want to do the responsible thing and have some thirst traps ready for CNN, all right? So just let me do my report. Okay. All right. Fine. Go ahead. Mm-hmm.

Anyway, the killer's motivations remain a mystery, but what we do know is that

In an America with such easy access to weapons and one where passions run high, a tragedy is just moments away and can have consequences that last for life. Ronnie, Ronnie, what the hell is this, Ronnie? What is this? No, that's just a Ken Burns effect, okay? It helps make still images more dynamic. Ronnie, Ronnie, come on, man. The news isn't going to show pictures of your dog busting out of your Speedo.

Yeah, they will. That's how hotness works, Michael. I mean, just look at Jesus, okay? Will we still be talking about him today if he looked like Rudy Giuliani? Nah, I don't think so. I mean, the fact is America is obsessed with image and images in our society can dictate public opinion. And while we wait to hear about the suspect's motive, people are mentioning his history of helping...

Why am I in that photo? Why am I 400 pounds? Why am I covered in chili? This sucks. Michael, it's not personal, okay? It's just a comparison. It just makes me look harder. But like I was saying, there was a manifesto, and Mangione does seem to have a serious problem with the help. No, no, that's, no. Ronnie, dude. What? Why do I, I mean, what? Ronnie! Ronnie!

Why do I have a thought bubble that says I pee sitting down? And you're not even in that photo. This sucks. Yeah, of course I'm not in the photo. Why would I associate myself with a loser who pees sitting down? Get out of here, Ronnie. Ronnie Chang, everyone. When we come back, we'll find out who won awards season, so don't go away. I don't pee sitting down.

Welcome to Who Won It Best, where the only thing better than an awards show is talking about an awards show. And tonight we're covering all the glitz and glam and hot goss from America's greatest awards show. Fox Nation and the sixth annual Patriot Awards.

That's right, the Fox Nation Patriot Awards, the very real award show where Fox honors the patriots brave enough to share a room with Jesse Waters. It's like the Oscars for people who want to firebomb the Oscars. And who better to lead it than the master race of ceremonies himself, Sean Hannity. A little bit of a wardrobe change if you haven't noticed. As long as I'm going to be called garbage, I might as well wear the garbage vest, right?

Oh, man. My ribs still hurt from laughing. Also, Pete Hegseth punched me in the stomach. Fun, isn't he? So fun. And as you can probably guess, the world's biggest stars came out for the Fox Nation Patriot Awards. Everyone from Kirk Cameron, Lee Greenwood. It was the biggest celebrity surprise of all. Now, I want you guys to stay right here because we have a special surprise for you.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the CEO of Patriot Mobile, Glenn Story. Yes! Glenn! Glenn Story! We're America's only Christian conservative cell phone service provider.

Glenn! Glenn Story! Yes! That's it! He is fun! So great! So fun! So great! Can you believe they got Glenn Story of Patriot Mobile? No! Oh my God! I got chills! Oh! Phone companies have 5G. Patriot Mobile has 1G. God. But let's get to the winners. One of them was an actor and former actor, Kirk Cameron. Oh!

He won a Patriot Award for his conservative children's books, like this one about a f***able zoo animal. God, he is a trainer. I know, I want his number. Let's take a listen to his inspiring acceptance speech. There's such a wind of hope and optimism in the air, and people can smell the fragrance of freedom.

The fragrance of freedom. Sweetie, you're at an event with Fox News anchors. That's just chloroform. Speaking of being knocked out, look at that trophy. Let's learn more about the exquisite design of the Patriot Award. This year's award has a commemorative stripe. In the middle of it, it's made of steel, recovered from 9-11. And the World Trade Center towers house that, and now it's part of this medal.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Beautiful, beautiful 9-11 steel. Sir, a second Patriot Award has just hit your trophy case. Troy, I didn't realize 9-11 steel was available for purchase. Oh, definitely. When I got my Invisalign, I had my orthodontist youth 9-11 steel on the retainer. Do you wear it at night? I never forget. Oh, my God.

You know, the big question was, who would win the Patriot of the Year? The most, the night's most coveted award, a three-star general, a courageous police officer, the hawk to a girl? No. No. No, Donald Trump. It was Donald Trump. Obviously going to be Donald Trump. Yeah.

And get this, his acceptance speech was 12 minutes long. Impressive. Eat shit, Halle Berry. This is quite a group. I have so many friends sitting there. You have incredible people at Fox. You have incredible people at every level of Fox. No day off, no play, no golf, no nothing. I didn't want to...

And Justin came flying right in. Well, that chart showed we had the best immigration, the lowest number of people in the history of America. And it makes America great again. The band won't play him off because he is too captivating. Also, he'll stick the FBI on their families. Isn't that fun? It's so fun. It's so fun.

By the way, Troy, did you get your fabulous Patriot Award swag bag? Yes, I did. It's a bottle of Surplus InfoWars prostate support. Yum. Oh. What I wouldn't give to have a prostate right now. It's so fun. I bet. I bet it is. Anyway, those are all the highlights.

All the highlights from the 2024 Fox Nation Patriot Awards. I can't wait to see what they have in store next year. How are they going to top Glenn's story from Patriot Mobile? They won't. Thank you, Gracie and Troy. When we come back, Deb Haaland will be joining you on the show. Don't go away.

On Fire, the only official Survivor podcast.

Listen to On Fire, the official survivor podcast, wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to The Daily Show. My guest tonight is the nation's first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary running the Department of Interior under President Biden. Please welcome Interior Secretary Deb Haaland. ♪♪

The Department of Interior. The Department of the Interior. The Department of the Interior. And I'm going to ask for the audience because they, I know.

It's been called the Department of Everything Else. What exactly is the Department of the Interior? At the Department of the Interior, we manage millions and millions of acres of all of our public lands under the National Park Service, the Wildlife Refuges, the Bureau of Land Management.

We protect and preserve our nation's cultural heritage, and we uphold the trust and treaty obligations of our country's 574 federally recognized Indian tribes. What do you do at your job?

Let's talk about that. You are 35th generation Laguna Pueblo from New Mexico. Yes. 35th generation. Yes. Are you... Okay, okay, but...

Are you sure? I mean, that is... I asked my mom to get a picture of her grandfather, and she left the room, and I didn't see her for three days. How do you know 35 generations? So, my ancestors from Chaco Canyon, it's now Chaco Culture National Historical Park, migrated from that area and from other areas, too. Bears Ears, Mesa Verde, all over the Southwest, to what is now New Mexico, and...

in, like, 1280. Wow. So, when I... One time, I just, for the heck of it, took out my calculator and searched how many years in a generation, and then I calculated it out, and it came out to 35. That's amazing. Yeah. One of the duties that you've taken on as secretary is trying to right some historical wrongs, many of which have been done

under the guise of the Department of the Interior. Tell me about that journey. What has that been like? Yes, yes. The department that I now lead once had the job of working to assimilate Indians. Yeah.

moving Native Americans out of their communities, away from their families to assimilate them into mainstream society. And one of the ways they did that was to essentially steal children from their mothers, fathers, families, communities, and ship them off, sometimes thousands of miles away from their homes, to attend Indian boarding schools.

And so when I got to the department, we thought about what can we do to make a difference in the future of our native communities across the country. One of the ways was to be honest about our country's history. It's a history that not a lot of people, not a lot of Americans realize, right? When they think of boarding school, they think about, you know, sending their kids to a really nice East Coast, you know, boarding school.

This was a place where they cut their hair.

BURN THEIR CLOTHES. THEY WERE PUNISHED FOR SPEAKING IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE. PUNISHED FOR SPEAKING THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGES AND COULDN'T -- THEY COULDN'T PRACTICE THEIR CULTURES OR TRADITIONS. AND THEY WERE FORCED TO EAT FOOD THAT THEY WEREN'T USED TO, RIGHT? TRADITIONAL FOOD IS -- IT'S IMPORTANT, RIGHT? OF COURSE, YEAH. DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE GEOGRAPHICALLY IN THE UNITED STATES. AND SO WE WANTED TO BRING ATTENTION TO THAT. WE WROTE TWO REPORTS.

Our team researched, you know, they read 103 million pages of documents to put these reports together. -Wow. -And then we set out across the country and did what we call the road to healing. And we heard directly from descendants and actual survivors of the boarding school, the Indian boarding schools. And that's going to be an oral history at some point. We're working on that now. -It's...

The type of history that I'm embarrassed I don't know more about, so then I'm afraid to ask about it, and then this cycle happens and continues. And what does atonement look like? Yeah, so don't be afraid to ask. Okay. Because that's how you learn, right? I love that, and I just did it on TV, and now I feel like a badass. Thank you.

So one of the ways, for me it's healing, right? We have this generational trauma and you can look that up and get the definition for it. Generational trauma, it's handed down through the generations. You kind of are affected by what happened to your great grandparents at some of these schools.

And it's first acknowledging what happened. And that was an acknowledgement by President Biden. He made a formal acknowledgement and apology in Arizona on Indian land and apologized for these atrocities that happened to the children way back then. But it's also ensuring that people don't ever forget. You learn the history, you don't forget it.

And so that's what we're doing with our oral history project, making sure that folks have the opportunity to hear directly from those survivors and know what it was like. We as people are so afraid to apologize in every capacity, but it can be helpful. Absolutely. Yeah. Yes, you should...

You know, we should be humble in the way we lead our lives. And when you're wrong, you should apologize, of course. Someone described you, maybe it was on your team, but I read it somewhere, that you never fight, but you always win. And I was like, that's some Jedi mind shit right there. LAUGHTER

What is your philosophy in handling people or difficult situations or confrontations? Well, I think that came from when I ran my congressional campaign. And so it's, yes, you, I mean...

Tell people what you're about, right? Tell people what they're voting for, not what they're voting against. So it's caring about people. It's showing them what you want to do for them. That's all on the campaign side. On this side of the table, working as a federal employee, yes, it's being vulnerable. It's really appreciating. It's

admitting that, you know, you're not the end-all, be-all. I lead the Department of the Interior, but I have 65,000 federal employees, public servants, every day come to work ready to dedicate their careers to the American people. And so I give them the credit as much as I can. Man, and I, yeah. Yeah.

It's beautiful to hear that. Also, I listened to that and there's a tragic thought of the new administration and what's coming. And I feel like it'll be a different philosophy. How do you handle a new administration coming and one that appears on the exterior to be significantly different?

Sure. Well, of course, we are responsible and we are moving forward with the transition, right? I knew you were going to say that. It's helping.

President Biden wants a transition that is calm and collected and all of that. So we're going to do our best to make sure that whoever comes into the Department of the Interior knows what we're working on. You know, we can tell them what's meant a lot to us and how we've managed the department. But don't forget, there will still be 65,000 career staff there who don't

leave when I leave. And they will continue to do the really wonderful work that they have been doing for decades and decades. Let's talk about you recently gave President Biden a parting gift at the Tribal Nations Summit. Tell me a little bit about that. What was it? Yes, well, it

It's, you know, for centuries, Native Americans have used blankets to, you know, look, when you bring a new baby home from the hospital or even if you have your child, you wrap it in a blanket, right? A blanket is something that's comforting. It's something that's meaningful. And that's the way that Native Americans can show that they care about you and love

I can't think of a more beautiful gift. Yeah, it's you, you know, you wrap yourself in the blanket. There's the blanket. Yeah, there it is. That's great. I mean, you know, here I am giving Amazon gift cards, and those don't warm you. If anything, they make you feel more vapid and have a hole in your soul. Well, that is, it's a Native American-owned business, and so I like to, you know...

SULLICIT BUSINESSES THAT I CAN LIKE THAT. YES, THE PRESIDENT WAS VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT. I HAD IT MONOGRAMMED AND IT SAID JOE BIDEN CHAMPION FOR INDIAN COUNTRY. THAT'S AWESOME. AND YOU RECENTLY RAN 34 MILES IN THE DESERT. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

Although, technically, that could be somebody else because your face is covered. But what's all that about? You don't have enough on your plate? What's...

So, well, I love running. Yes. And we went to visit on an official visit to Canyon de Chelly. It's in Arizona. It's a joint management between the National Park Service and the Navajo Nation. And one of our tour guides told us about this race. And as soon as I got in the car, I said, we need to run that. And so it's a lottery.

I applied. That gives us a little bit of an insight into your mindset, too. I applied.

I applied for the race. I got in, believe it or not. And so then, of course, I had to, you know, I have a little bit of an entourage when I travel. So some of my security detail and staff had to run with me. I like that. So I don't know how... But they're going, like, four miles, and then they're sharing it. No, they... Now, just think about our security here. They couldn't even go 500 feet. Yeah.

One of them ran 17 miles up and the other one ran 17 miles back with me. Years ago, you broke your foot hiking a mountain. I did. And then you refused to take a helicopter down and you walked down on this broken foot. Was that like for environmental reasons or something? It was actually a broken leg. It broke my leg. I had those hiking poles, so that was helpful.

But look-- Well, it sounds like it wasn't if you broke your leg. When you-- when you had-- no, they weren't helpful at the time. I slipped on a rock. Isn't that strange? It was just a freak accident. Yeah. But it was-- my choices were to walk down.

take a helicopter, like, dangle on the outside of the helicopter with the thing, I think. -Okay. Okay. -Or get eight staff away from their jobs to carry me down in a chair. And all I thought about was the headlines, right? Secretary Haaland, you know, takes eight staff away from their jobs to carry her down the mountain in a chair. -Right. Right. -So I decided to walk. -That's -- That's tough of you. It shows your grit.

You have 40 days left on the job. What is next for Madam Secretary? I mean, you have successfully run a salsa company, bakery. You're now... You're in school right now, as we speak?

No, I'm not actually in school. I am. I'm working to finish my master's thesis that I kind of put on hold for a long time. Yeah. So, OK, I'm going to finish that. And what what is your master's thesis on? It's about it's about native food, actually. Amazing. Yes. It's I wanted to show that at Laguna, we still have we still our traditional foods are the same as they were.

before we migrated. Stew and bread. It might be different forms, right? I may not grow my corn personally, but when I cook it together the way that my ancestors did, we consider it traditional. That's amazing. I feel the same way about microwave popcorn, but...

This comes from Ronnie Chang, my friend and fellow news team member, and I love this question. What Native American philosophy can be applied to our current lives and times? And if it's a bad question, it's Ronnie's question. Okay. So,

I don't know about Native American quote unquote philosophy, but I'll tell you some words that I live by. That's broad. Yes, okay, please. Some words I live by every single day. My auntie, God rest her soul, Auntie Anne, she was the kindest human being you would ever meet. And her advice to me was be nice to everyone.

Be nice to everyone. Be nice to people you don't particularly care about, because that's what you should radiate out to people, right? Be kind to animals.
