The Daily Show: Ears Edition

Jon Stewart breaks down Trump’s “Art of the Deal” strategy in Iran, following the threats, consequences, and concessions the president has made to win... nothing. Plus, Republicans celebrate the president’s self-proclaimed victory as “a brilliant day for the world,” and Trump signs a bill to fast-track the psychedelic drug ibogaine while bragging, “You think Biden could do that?”

The President of the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly Annalena Baerbock sits down with Jon and breaks down the challenges facing the United Nations in a rapidly shifting global order. From tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz to the limits of the UN Security Council’s veto system, Baerbock explains why diplomacy is becoming more difficult and more necessary than ever. Baerbock also discusses overseeing the process of selecting the next U.N. Secretary General, and whether Member States will vote for a woman to lead the organization in its 80-year history.
