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, Ronnie Tick. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Roy Chang. We've got so much to talk about tonight. Rudy Giuliani screams into the void. People are reading porn sites for the comments. And Louis Black is here. He seems really mad about something. So let's get right into it with another installment of Indecision 2024. Thank you.

Let's kick things off with breaking news out of the North Carolina's governor's race, where the Republican candidate is Mark Robinson, a hardcore MAGA conservative who is on the record with statements like this. There's no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth. And yes, I called it filth. Ain't nothing but men and women. Ain't but two genders.

This is the worst Nutty Professor reboot ever. I mean, looks like this guy is pretty anti-the gays. And if there's one thing history has taught us, it's that when a politician is this outspoken about how gross gay and trans people are, there will be nothing in his internet history that will embarrass him at all.

In three, two, one. Shocking new details about the Republican running for governor of Battleground, North Carolina. The state's current lieutenant governor, Mark Robinson, a CNN investigation finds that Robinson for years posted on a porn site starting in 2008. In the form of the website Nude Africa, Robinson wrote, I like watching young girl porn. That's hot.

It takes the man out while leaving the man in. And yeah, I'm a perv too. I guess there are more than two genders when it's time to jerk it. I mean, it says that right in the Bible, right? Like, if you couldn't read it, it's because the pages were stuck together. I mean, look, this is not going to play well with his base. His political base, not his other, the base of the...

I mean, is there anything else he said on these sites? Robinson called himself a, quote, black Nazi. And when describing then President Barack Obama, writing, quote, I take Hitler over any of the shit that's in Washington right now. It even goes beyond that. Another disturbing post, Robinson defended slavery, writing, quote, slavery is not that bad. And I wish they would bring slavery back. I would certainly buy a few. Oh.

So, uh, this guy called himself a Nazi who likes Hitler and slavery. Um, I take it back. I think maybe his base will still like him. I mean, the whole thing just kind of... it cancels out, you know what I mean? Uh, but this is the craziest combination of scandals I've ever seen. Um, but the most insane part of this is that he said all of this stuff in the comments section of a porn site. Nobody should be writing in the comments section of a porn site.

You know what you should be commenting on a porn site? Nothing, nothing. You're not there to make friends. You're spending way too much time on porn sites if you're getting into your views on slavery, okay? Like, most people are there to watch porn and you're like, here's my problem with the Emancipation Proclamation. However, if you are a politician and you just have to comment on nudeafrica.com,

Instead of Nazi stuff, make it uplifting. Like, you know, once I'm done jerking off, let's work together to solve the housing crisis. But let's move on from Mark Robinson to the guy who called him better than Martin Luther King. It's Donald Trump. Last night, he held a rally in Long Island, otherwise known as the Florida of New York. And...

I know you're thinking, is New York a swing state? No, it's not. But Trump just wanted to go someplace where people wear more bronzer than him. Now, at the rally, Trump did his usual rant about how New York has turned into a third world hellhole. And to prove his point, he brought out a New York icon that has decayed beyond all recognition, Rudy Giuliani. God bless Donald J. Trump, his one family. I pray that he keeps them alive. No more attacks!

No more attack! No more! Stop it! If there's anybody behind, I'll find them! I did it to the mafia! I can do it to them! If you're behind it, I'm looking at you, and I'm gonna get you! Uh, you good to drive, bro? I mean, Rudy is so feral, I'm worried RFK Jr. will put him in his trunk. Like...

But you heard Rudy Giuliani. Hey, if you're the person who keeps trying to assassinate Trump, he wants you to stop it. Stop it. Stop it, you bad assassin. Stop that right now. He's coming to get you. He's gonna get you. And good luck trying to outrun Rudy Giuliani on three whiskeys.

But one of the big stories of the night was that Trump said he's going to visit Springfield, Ohio, and not for their lovely attractions like Buck Creek State Park or any of the other stuff I saw on their Wikipedia page. No. Trump is going to Springfield so he can continue spreading bullshit lies about Haitian immigrants eating cats, even though journalists have been looking into the original reports, and surprise, surprise, they're all falling apart.

The woman behind a Facebook post credited with launching the baseless rumor is speaking out to NBC News. Erica Lee says her claim that a neighbor's missing cat may have been taken by Haitian neighbors was wrong, now saying she had no firsthand knowledge of any such incident. Lee telling me, I messed up royally. Oopsie doopsie! Sorry, I set off a race war in the middle of a presidential election. That's...

Totally my bad. This is why it's a bad idea to let our politics be driven by random shit people post on Facebook. Facebook should not be considered a news source. It's a place you go to see AI images of what Jesus would look like as a shrimp.

And that's not the only story that's been debunked. Remember the Ohio woman who said her Haitian neighbor stole her cat? Any updates on that? - The Journal tracked down this Springfield woman you see on your screen. She had reported that her cat was missing and that she believed her migrant neighbors were to blame. Well, the Trump campaign reportedly pointed to her story as an example, but that woman's cat, Ms. Sassy, was later found in her own basement a few days later.

And the woman acknowledged her mistake and said she apologized to her neighbors. The cat was in the basement the whole time? Here's a little tip for anyone out there with a missing pet. Okay, before you accuse your Haitian neighbors of stealing them, maybe you could first try looking around your house. So, you might imagine, you might imagine that J.D. Vance would apologize for spreading these lies. But that's not what happened when he was confronted with the truth.

Why are you continuing to double and triple down on these baseless claims? I trust my constituents more than I do the American media that has shown no interest in what's happened in Springfield until we started sharing cat memes on the internet, which is disgraceful that the American media ignored this town. And that's the most important part.

Is that the most important part? I mean... So what you're saying, it's okay to say things that are bullshit in order to get people to focus on other things that aren't bullshit? I mean, if that's true, this is gonna revolutionize the way I write resumes. Okay, okay, I wasn't the CEO of Microsoft, but... How else would you have noticed that I'm proficient in Excel?

Although, in a way, Vance's plan did work, because lying about this did bring attention to another bigger issue, that these guys are all super racist. So, very sneaky, J.D. For more on this, let's go live to Springfield, Ohio, with our very own Troy Iwata. Holy shit! What happened to you? Well, Ronnie, I interviewed Miss Sassy the Cat. And just like her name implies, she really is a f***ing bitch. Yeah.

Okay, wait, wait, you interviewed the cat? Why? Because this whole story didn't make any sense to me. Trump supporters being racist, J.D. Vance being an unlikable, attention-seeking asshole. It doesn't add up. And it's pretty clear to me what happened. Miss Sassy is a talking cat who has gone-girled herself and blamed it on the Haitians. Okay. And why would she do all that? Because she's a cat. Okay.

Okay? And cats love drama. And when I called her out on it, she started crying and saying that she hasn't been herself since she was kidnapped by Venezuelans who tried to give her gender reassignment surgery. And when I said, I said, that's bullshit. And you know that's bullshit, Sassy. She did this. Okay, okay, okay. I can't believe a house cat brought a whole state into an anti-immigrant frenzy. Miss Sassy is not a house cat. She's a diabolical slut. Okay.

But, um, hold on. I've just received some breaking news, though. Oh, my God. Okay, so Miss Sassy has been kidnapped by ISIS? They say they're going to convert her to Islam unless Trump wins the election. Oh, my God. Wait, wait, wait. Who wrote that report? You know, now that I'm looking at it, it does look like Miss Sassy's handwriting. Okay, okay. So...

Sassy! All right, does anybody have a spray bottle with acid in it? Okay, okay, I'll look for one. Troy Wada, everybody. When we come back, Louis Black is here, so don't go away.

Okay.

Okay. Want to know where to find brands on brands on brands this fall? At Ross. Mm-hmm. They've got big savings on the latest fall styles. Seriously, you'll find the brands you want at prices you'll love. At Ross. Yes for less. Welcome back to our daily show. When a news story falls through the cracks, Louis Black catches it for a segment we call Back in Black. Back in Black.

Thomas Jefferson was right when he famously said presidential elections suck ass. Hell, I have to stay drunk from April to November just to get through it, which is two weeks longer than I'm normally drunk. But this election sucks extra ass because it might have huge consequences for our country. And it all comes down to turning out one crucial voting block. Young people.

Sticky, disgusting young people. Now, it used to be that all you needed to turn out young voters was a beloved musing star threatening to kill people. God, that was fun, wasn't it? Can you believe Pete Diddy turned out to be an alleged sexual abuser? And here I thought he was just a harmless murderer.

But these days, if candidates want to reach young people, there's really only one way. Social media influences.

From TikTok to Instagram, online platforms are becoming a key tool for political campaigns. A lot of young people, not just political news, but a lot of people use YouTube and TikTok. Social media influencers descending on the Republican and Democratic National Conventions. Both parties officially inviting and credentialing hundreds of content creators to help draw eyeballs to their platforms and candidates.

This is what it's come to. Our election rests with the same people trying to sell you diarrhea-infused beauty cream. And if you're unfamiliar with the influencer culture, here's a quick... Move over, Fred Astaire. Captain Frito-Lay is in the building.

In the old days, doing a karate kick at 7-Eleven didn't make you a millionaire. It made you a meth head in Florida.

But if the campaigns are focused on courting these influencers, surely you'd think they must be getting some primo content in return. Oh, I got dick down at the DNC. Oh, dick down at the DNC. Yeah, yeah. Thank you for having us. Thank you, guys. It's been a real pleasure.

Theater kids are losing their virginity at the DNC? Well, there's hope for you yet, Cory Booker. By the way, if anyone got dicked down at the DNC, it's Joe Biden. Don't worry, Democrats. There are dipshit TikToks for conservatives, too. Voting Donald Trump, baby. Whoa, what the f***?

That video makes me pro-gun just so I can deep throat one in the bathtub. And look, I appreciate shitty content just as much as the next person. I watch both seasons of MILF Manor and the behind-the-scenes featurettes. That doesn't mean I'm going to let the MILFs tell me who to vote for.

But as TikTok stars gain political clout, both camps are now planning entire campaign stops around meeting them. Like when Trump and Logan Paul had this meeting of the minds. Wow, that's the first time I've ever seen Donald Trump genuinely laugh.

And all it took was the hilarity of staring down a roided up boy.

Then there's Kamala's VP, Tim Walls, who went on the TikTok show, Subway Takes, to have an earth-shaking debate about gutters. So what's your take? My take is the most neglected part of homeownership is the gutters. It's personal for me. 100% agree. I've had problems with gutters before. You get your basement wet, you get ice dams, cause a lot of problems. Where do you buy gutters? The down spots I bought at Menards. Save big money at Menards.

Oh, good. A video for no one. Candidates skip entire states during the campaign, but Subway Takes gets a sit-down interview? He wasn't even on the subway. I didn't see a single rat fist-fighting a baby. Also, quick tip for Tim Walz. Young people don't give a shit about gutters because they don't own homes, and they never will.

So, we know what the candidates are getting out of this. Civic excitement, higher voter turnout, and free gutters from Menards. But what about the political influencers? What's in it for them? Twenty-three.

23-year-old Awasane made a name for herself dispensing beauty tips on TikTok. Awasane says she was hired by Protect Our Care, a progressive advocacy group. What's your rate? So a video just for a creator in my size, an average can go from $3,000 to $10,000 depending and upwards. $10,000? And all you have to do is sacrifice your dignity? Get paid. Hey, guys.

It's Louis B. I'm an influencer now. I got dicked down at the RNC. I got dicked down at the DNC. Now pay up, assholes. Ronnie, shoot me. All right. Thank you, Louis. Louis Black, everybody. When we come back, Philip Lim will be joining me on the show, so don't go away. I'm home.

Seriously, you'll find the brands you want at prices you'll love. At Ross. Yes, for less. Welcome back to The Daily Show. My guest tonight is the co-founder and career director of the fashion brand 3-1 Phillip Lim. Please welcome my good friend, Phillip Lim.

Thank you for having me fashion legend You know you've dressed people for Met Gala you've been on the ink in crowd in New York City fashion for like 20 years now Mm-hmm. Right. Is it is it Devils West Prada every single day? Yes, you could say that it is that the mystery the intrigue

Fashion is the place where anything's possible, but also you never know what's around the corner. - Right, and how do you, for 20 years now,

How do you think you stay on the cutting edge of culture? 'Cause I feel like it's one of your superpowers. - Yeah, I think the only way to do it is to be part of culture, to be humble, to stay curious, and also to fight like hell to maintain the grit and the honesty and the tenacity to stay in fashion. - Right, but where'd you get your,

influences from for 20 years now you've always been you know where you go to get like inspiration yeah i mean when we started the brand you know it was like we made clothes for ourselves and i remain the consumer too so it's really a dialogue of what

I would like to wear, what the women around me would like to wear, my friends like to wear. And it's like, you know, we're part of this world. We're part of society. I tend to love to be part of pop culture. So I kind of just roll with it. And, you know, you have to embrace the change while also remaining true to yourself. Right. And this 20 years now in American fashion or more longer, really, I mean, 20 years is the brand, but you've been in fashion for way longer than that. Yeah. Yeah. Has, has,

- Have we gotten trashier? - Yes, we've gotten trashier. - Oh, that's-- - You know? - Some guy almost applauded that. - Yeah. It's true. I mean, now you wear-- - So this isn't just a fashion dip. We have definitely, you've been seeing a trend of we are trashier now. - It's a race to show less, basically. So what you wear on the inside

it's on the outside now. So it really is bold, and I commend the bravado of some of the looks I see. But hey, we roll with it, right? It's fashion. - Oh, right. And you, man, I mean, you're not, you born in Thailand,

was in Cambodia for a bit, and you came to America as a child. Yes. And you grew up in California. Yes. So no formal fashion training? No. Didn't go to fashion school? No, no. I have a degree in home economics, and I'm a business school dropout, a disappointment to my immigrant parents. And somehow I found my way and became fashion. So do you think fashion... Oh, yeah, again, from Denver. So what do you think about...

Fashion school then, in that case, you know what I mean? Like if you are talking to a kid, what's maybe trying to make him look in fashion? Listen, I think education is very important as a foundation for whatever you want to do. That's because what you study doesn't mean that you'll end up there. I think if you start with an education, but the most valuable advice I could give is on the ground training, internship.

learning off someone else's dime, basically. - So that's what happened to you, right? - That's what I did, yeah. My first internship turned into my first job in fashion, and 25, 30 years later, I'm still here. - No, that's cool, but don't gloss over that. How did you get the first internship? So you're working at Barney's? - Okay, I was working at Barney's New York. Barney's was at that time, and I was living in Southern California.

And I dialed 411 because I was unpacking a new shipment. And I'm like, okay, I'm going to dial 411 because I needed to get that degree to graduate, to get that certificate to show my immigrant parents that I'm somebody, you know? And so I dialed 411, got the designer, the creative director's assistant on the phone. I was like, okay, hey, listen, I'm looking for an internship. Are you guys taking...

Free work. Free labor, basically. I'm so sorry. What's 411? Information. Wait, what is 411? Who can help Ronnie answer what 411 is? No, these guys don't know either, okay? They'll know. I see my age in the audience. What's 411? You mean... Information. Public service information. You press buttons on a phone and then you go...

That did did did like that. That's crazy talk. And then what Charlie Chaplin answered? Yeah, well, close enough. Charlie Chaplin's assistant answered and brought me in. I showed some Polaroids. She's like, OK, when can you start? Started right away. Didn't tell my parents yet that I had just left, dropped out of business school.

Two weeks into the internship, they brought me downstairs and I was like, "Oh, shit." Oh wait, can we say shit here? - You can say shit, yeah. We say shit all the time. We said way worse in that one. - Oh, shit. Oh, basically. I'm gonna get let go. I'm not even good enough for free labor, basically. And she's like, "So-and-so wants you to stay on. Will you stay on as a full-time job?" Instantly, I was like, "Yes, I will."

but I had to also figure out how to convince my professors at the college to let me graduate with a degree without going back to school. -And you... -I did it. -Oh, you figured it out? -Yeah. -Okay, okay, okay. Yeah. -I did it. -That's for real.

And I mean, that's-- I think one thing I really like about you, I mean, getting to know you as a friend personally, it's been one-- I think you have many superpowers. Thank you. I think one of your real superpowers, I find, is that you're a very down-to-earth guy. Like, we'll go for lunch in Chinatown in Manhattan, and you'll insist on going to the mom and pop store, not the fancy places. And I guess, like, yeah, like, what

how do you how have you managed to stay in that devil's devil wears prada world and still be like hey you know i'm just gonna go wear a trench coat and go yeah you know i credit that to my parents um i credited that to like the values instilled early on i credit it to um just understanding that you know

what I get to do, which is like to dream today and go to work tomorrow and turn it into a reality. That's a beautiful thing. And I think that it's something that I am so grateful for. But it comes from my immigrant parents. They taught us early on that. Because you were kind of my introduction to the fashion world. So is everyone in fashion like this? Yeah.

Are they not as down to earth as this? You know, like with everything, there's a spectrum, a range, right? Maybe I'm like, if we say one to 10 and 10 is like completely fabulous. So most people on the spectrum. Nothing, yeah. I would say maybe I'm a seven or eight. Right, on that. Right. Well, your other really cool superpower, which I really admire from you is

Seeing you at work, and I think it's not something a lot of people have a chance to see a fashion designer actually Working you know showing his creativity, so if you don't mind Would you mind kind of annotating okay some of your fashion? For for everyone in the crowd in the home is okay?

All right. Wow. Okay. This is an iPad. Yeah. I feel very vulnerable right now. Oh, yeah. So we'd just like to see your thoughts on some of these designs. So this is your design. Okay. And we'd just like to get your ideas on the inspiration. Can you tell us what's going on here? Sure. So this look, I'm originally from California, surf culture, skate culture. And the 20th anniversary was a dedication to joy.

Meaning like in these tumultuous times, in these complicated times, I needed to find my way back to the purpose of why I'm a fashion designer and the power that has to bring joy onto everybody. So what you're looking at here is the collection is kind of like the journey of my California upbringing all the way to my existence in New York City. So what you're looking at here is soap culture, but make it chic.

- Make it fashion. - And what this beautiful young lady has on is this eyelash fringe top, like a t-shirt, long sleeve t-shirts that surfers wear to cover their skin. There is-- - You can draw on it, you can draw on it. We spent a lot of money to try to make this happen. - Technology. - We have to buy an iPad. - So all this is like eyelash lace here.

And then what she's wearing are cargo shorts, cargo shorts that are made of lace and poplin. And then you see the peekaboo lingerie in that black spot to kind of have a flirtatious moment. She's also wearing patchery pearls around her anklet, kind of to signify that surfer girl at heart. Right. Yeah, so that's kind of the look. She's DTF. Yeah. DTF.

DTS. Down to surf. Down to surf. Do you want to circle her head? Yeah, let's circle the head. Oh, yeah. These amazing sunglasses are by a friend's brand, Portanger. So, cool. That's cool. Yeah, super cool. And we got another one here.

Oh, we're not done yet. There's more. So can you tell us a bit about-- - This is really fun, guys. - Yeah. Can you tell us more about this look? - OK. So this is kind of related to you, too. - Sure. She's Asian. - She's Asian.

But you do jiu-jitsu, right? Yes. Yeah? Yeah. So let's start with the trousers then. These are jiu-jitsu and judo trousers. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, wow. With a zip up the back here. So it's like for that sexy moment. Sure. I do that too in jiu-jitsu. DTJ. DTJ. Right? DTJ. Down to jujitsu. And the...

The top is a lace top, but with football influences. So we took a football jersey. You see the yoke right here, the striped jersey, the striped yoke. And it's hard to see here, but there's armbands here. And then we put boning around the armband to push out the sleeves. So it's really like this feminine idea of a football jersey influence with jujitsu pants. Oh, wow. Very sporty. Random, right? Right. But that's how fashion works.

That's how creativity works, I guess. It's like you take all these abstract elements and you try to put it in, you know, hot-looking clothes. It also helps if the person is super hot as well, I guess. So how much would this cost? This would be like... Let's do... Can you write the price next to it? Okay, so let's do the prices. So these trousers would be like $4.35. Uh-huh.

guesstimates, right? This top, because it's so special, it's a special corded lace, would be another like $450. Okay. Can you circle her face just so we can... Yeah. And then the face is priceless. Yeah. All right. So we...

We've never seen an iPad before. Pretty excited about this technology. Just bear with us right now. So one thing you're also great at, sometimes people don't know this, but I come to you for fashion advice. And you're like, you're like, make sure my cuts are okay. You're like my, I'm so grateful to have you as a stylist. But I love your insights into sometimes what's wrong with what I'm wearing. So if you don't mind, could you just critique this?

I just want to get your thoughts on this. Oh, okay. If you don't mind, can you just tell us what's wrong with this fit? Okay. Okay. It's not...

It's not political. - Guys, this is purely aesthetic critique. - Yeah. - Right? If he were to hire me to do this, I would have to point things out because we should tell the truth, no? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - We should tell the truth. Okay, so let's start with a positive note. It is a suit. So I see here two main big concept issues. One, the coloring's wrong for him. - What, his face or the clothes?

I think a combination of things, right? So if I were to advise him, I'd say go darker on the navy so he feels a bit more... Like a black person? Yeah. Let's start with the top here, the shoulder pads. You can draw. You can draw. Let's start here, like the shoulder pads. He needs to have a bit more...

let's say, authority there. It seems like there's a little... Like integrity. Structural integrity. And the quality is lacking from the top. Yeah. Okay. Also, if you notice, too, he looks like an elder, but in a child's proportion. So it's like...

So it almost feels like a blunder of proportions. Right. Right? But not in a good way. It needs to be readjusted and, like, brought down to reality here. Okay. So what I would do is, let's start with, we started with a stronger shoulder pad that had higher quality. He should also find a new dry cleaner. Mm-hmm.

- Yeah, because there's a quality issue here with the pressing. So let's start with the lapel. The lapel is too skinny for his body frame, like the broadness. I would ask him to-- - For someone that wide, you would have a broader lapel. - No, what you wanna do is cover the surface area. So if you have more of a surface area, you have to reproportion all the details to make it look kind of snatched, right?

So already with the line that we would broaden the lapel, he already is looking more svelte, right? And then from there, if we come down here, the tie is too long. So it's drawing the attention to the wrong section of this gentleman, basically. Right? But how else would you see that part of his body if the tie wasn't... Okay, so I would go in with a carving knife. Uh-huh.

a tailor's knife, and I would start to carve out the top of his rib cage a bit because, you know, like the rib cage, everyone has good rib cages, basically, right? And I would just sharpen that part and leave the rest kind of intrigue and mystery. Okay. Yeah. So you bring that in a bit. Yeah, so basically what we're doing is we're trying to give him more of a V, basically. This guy, he needs more of a V. He needs more quality. There's a lack of integrity in this suit, and therefore in the character. Uh-huh.

Hey, listen, you are what you wear, right? And that's the power of fashion and clothes. Like, you look sharp. Oh, thank you so much. Thank you so much. And so we believe you. Oh, thank you so much. Well, you should. Yeah. I would sharpen everything. I would square that off. And I would

repress the pants, basically. And also, he has long arms, so I would extend the sleeves slightly because it makes him look a bit juvenile when it's too short. I'm sure that's the problem. And the last thing I want to do is, can you just... Oh my god. This is a photo of a certain young person who...

Ronnie, you look the same, basically. I look the same? Still going to work. So basically, guys, this look is a future classic, basically. He did not know that he would be this future present icon today. I mean, look at this. This could be a Nike campaign, right? Like the matching track outfit, that V right there, the athletic socks, that's all the rage right now. Yeah, socks outside the pants. Way to go.

Like LeBron, the hair on the cuff. You look like you could be walking down the athlete's hallway. Yeah, this is walking down the mean streets of Manchester, New Hampshire. Okay, I got nothing to say except good job, mom. No notes. Good job, mom. Yeah, thanks a lot. Well, can you give me a star on that, though? Yeah. Uh...

So superstar, superstar, superstar, superstar. Thank you, thank you. And this is all money. Thank you. Thank you, mom. Thank you, mom. And thank you, Phil O'Leary, everybody. The legendary Phil O'Leary, everyone. We're going to take a quick break, but we'll be right back after this. Your business deploys AI pilots everywhere. But are they going anywhere?
