Trump Gets a Golden Crown in South Korea While SNAP Cutoff Causes Panic in U.S.
Democrats have been riding high since the success of the “No Kings” protests and the emergence of Democratic prospects like Zohran Mamdani. But why is the Democratic Party so afraid to harness this energy? Charlamagne Tha God breaks down how to swap this tired system for an energetic change.
Emmy-nominated actor Aubrey Plaza and writer-producer Dan Murphy join Desi to discuss their new children’s book, “Luna and the Witch Throw a Halloween Party.” The best friends and co-writers recall how they met 20 years ago doing community theater in Wilmington, Delaware, and credit a healthy balance of closeness and space as the key to their creative collaboration. Plaza, a self-described witch, also shares how her grandmother inspired the book and talks about her return to theater in Ethan Coen’s Off Broadway play, “Let’s Love!”

Speaker 3 I can do this.
Speaker 3 I'm doing it.
Speaker 5 One drive can change your mind in the all-electric BZ. Toyota, let's go places.
Speaker 6 You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 3
From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central. It's America's only source for news.
This is the Daily Show with your host, Jesse Leidick.
Speaker 3
Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Desi Leidick.
We've got so much to talk about tonight.
Speaker 7 The government's still leaving us on on red. South Korea holds a Yes King rally for Trump and Democrats can't stop cucking themselves.
Speaker 7 But first, Trump continues to eat, prey, love his way through Asia. So let's get into it with another installment of Trump Meets World.
Speaker 8 International humiliation one after another.
Speaker 7 Today, Trump was in South Korea, where he was dismayed to learn that the hot demon demon hunter babes are in fact not real people.
Speaker 7 But don't worry, he still got a warm welcome, and the South Koreans even honored our rich American heritage.
Speaker 9 Overnight, President Trump touching down in South Korea, grieved with the YMCA on the tarmac.
Speaker 7 Unbelievable.
Speaker 7 The village people must be so proud that their song became America's official presidential anthem.
Speaker 7 To To think when they wrote it, they just wanted to make a jaunty tune about getting railed at the gym.
Speaker 7
But this is how it's been at every stop on the trip. Trump arrives, they throw a big party for him, then they immediately try to buy his affection with gifts.
So, South Korea, what do you got?
Speaker 9 Korean President Lee lavishing Trump with gifts, including a replica of a golden crown.
Speaker 13 We present this old crown to you on this joyous occasion of your state visit to Chongjo.
Speaker 14 Thank you very much, everybody.
Speaker 3 Appreciate it.
Speaker 3 Wow, a golden crown.
Speaker 7 What a lovely, thoughtful gift for our president. South Korea, can I just talk to you over here, real quick?
Speaker 7 Hey, South Korea, what the f are you doing?
Speaker 7 Seriously.
Speaker 7 All right, we've been trying real hard over here to gently steer our president away from the whole king thing. And then you come along, all, hey, President Trump, check out this cool crown.
Speaker 7 Try it on, take it home with you.
Speaker 3 Not helping.
Speaker 7 Please, just give them a sack of money like a normal country and stop fing up our shit.
Speaker 7 Everything's great. We were just having a little chat.
Speaker 7 Anyway, while Trump is collecting more items for his dress-up bin back at home, the government shutdown has stretched to day 29, or what we think is 29.
Speaker 7
The guy who counts the days has been furloughed. Now, so far, many Americans have been insulated from the worst effects of the shutdown.
The airports are mostly still running.
Speaker 7 Social Security checks are still going out. And the FBI will still kick down your door if you even think about copying a VHS tape.
Speaker 7 But two days from now, a lot of people are about to feel the shutdown in a big way.
Speaker 11 Snap Food Assistance, a lifeline for roughly 42 million, now set to run out of money by the end of the week.
Speaker 16 Food banks already stretched to the limit are seeing even longer lines.
Speaker 15 A food crisis, some experts say, could be the worst since the Great Depression, all because of the government shutdown.
Speaker 7 Come on, are you serious?
Speaker 7 On top of everything Americans are dealing with, now people might lose their food. Not food, that's our favorite thing to stress eat.
Speaker 7
But okay, no need to worry. We have a whole government whose job it is to keep its citizens fed.
I'm sure there's something they can do at this point.
Speaker 16 There's, you know, there's nothing we can do at this point.
Speaker 3 Trump has done all he can to minimize it, but there's nothing else he can do.
Speaker 17 The Trump administration has done its best to try to minimize these hardships, but ultimately it starts to run out of funds and run up against the bounds of law, and there's really nothing more they can do.
Speaker 7
This is a national safety net, and you're talking about it like it's a return after 30 days. Oh, sorry the pants gave you a camel toe.
There's nothing we can do.
Speaker 7 So according to the Trump administration, the only way to keep SNAP funded is for Democrats to end the shutdown. And sure, I get why they want people to think that.
Speaker 7 But what's interesting is that when the Trump administration needed to find funding to pay the troops, they shifted money around and they found it.
Speaker 7 Hell, they even got help from one of their billionaire friends.
Speaker 18 The New York Times reports: reclusive billionaire Timothy Mellon gave the government $130 million to help pay troops during the shutdown.
Speaker 7 Our military has a sugar daddy.
Speaker 7 I swear, ever since Epstein Island shut down, billionaires do not know how to spend their cash.
Speaker 7 However, they do it, it's very clear that when our leaders want to fund the things that they care about, they find ways to fund it.
Speaker 7 So I'm sure the Secretary of Agriculture has some ideas about how Americans can feed, how America can feed its citizens.
Speaker 16 I don't want to speak on behalf of my boss, but if George Soros wants to step up and write a $9.2 billion check to keep those benefits moving for this, for the month of November, I am guessing that that would definitely be on the table.
Speaker 7 Oh, come on.
Speaker 7 Are you serious? George Soros?
Speaker 7 The guy's already footing the bill for all the paid protesters.
Speaker 7 My.
Speaker 7 Look, dinosaur costumes are not cheap. So once again, our lawmakers are coming together to say that they can't come together to fix our problems.
Speaker 7 And as always, it's up to everyday people to step in and fill the void.
Speaker 19 A New Jersey food bank delivering four tractor trailer loads of food to workers at Newark who are not getting paid this week.
Speaker 21 Landing in Washington, D.C., World Central Kitchen, Jose Andres's food charity, often deployed to war zones and natural disasters, it provided free meals for furloughed federal employees.
Speaker 22 Now, some have resorted to unconventional methods to help, like TikTok influencer Kelsey Martin taking advantage of Halloween, putting out non-perishable goods like ramen and microwavable meals for trick-or-treaters in need.
Speaker 7 Wow.
Speaker 7 It really is inspiring to see people stepping up to help their neighbors in a time of need. This, this is what we need more of.
Speaker 7 That said, if I was a kid going trick-or-treating and you hand me a cup of noodles, I will egg your fing house.
Speaker 7 For more on the fallout over the government shutdown, let's go live to our very own Michael Costa.
Speaker 7 Michael, this is very concerning that so many Americans can't count on their government.
Speaker 6 Well, Desi, our government may not be able to provide basic services, but what we do have is a massive reserve of reclusive billionaires, which is good news.
Speaker 6
In fact, right now, I'm in the subterranean castle of Thomas B. Weatherbottom.
He's the heir to a railroad fortune, and this is the only photo of him ever recorded.
Speaker 6 No one knows why, but we believe believe it's because he's ugly. Anyway, he's agreed to donate $120 million to help feed Americans in need.
Speaker 7 Oh, well, that's very kind of him to pay for all that food.
Speaker 6
Yes, specifically chowder. He says it has to be chowder.
And thanks to Mr.
Speaker 6 Weatherbottom, Americans can enjoy all the chowder we want as long as he's allowed to watch us eat it with a spoon that's too big for our mouths so it spills on our bare chests.
Speaker 7 He gets to watch us eat?
Speaker 6
No, no, he has to watch us eat. The slurping sounds calm him and appease him.
Mr. Weatherbottom is as generous as he is a freaky rich hermit man.
Speaker 7 Okay, even if I was okay with this and I chowder girled a little bit through college, but it doesn't really solve the problem. We have a lot of government programs that need to be funded.
Speaker 6 Yeah, and we got a lot of freaky little billionaire boys like Thaddeus P. Wormwell, heir to the whale blubber and baby powder fortune.
Speaker 6 I met with him and his pleasure zeppelin soaring over the Himalayas. He's committed 500 milli to fund the national park so he can hunt the park rangers for sport.
Speaker 7 Jesus, Costa, I want the parks open, but not if it lets some weird billionaire hunt and kill the staff.
Speaker 6
Desi, please, the thrill comes from the hunt, not the killing. Mr.
Wormwell assures me it's a catch and release situation.
Speaker 6 From when father took him on fox hunts at Blickenstaff Manor on that cold winter when he first learned that the dark thirst within him yearned for prey that would squeal, not wither.
Speaker 6 What?
Speaker 6 I said he's offering free dental.
Speaker 6 Michael.
Speaker 24 Michael, is this really what America has come to?
Speaker 7 I don't want our public services paid for by deranged billionaires demanding something in return.
Speaker 6 Desi, don't be so cynical. Our billionaires have America's best interests at heart.
Speaker 7 So they'll pay for IRS agents to collect taxes or the EPA to regulate their businesses?
Speaker 6
Well, sort of, but I did get word from another billionaire, Dr. Atticus von D.
Yorkenshire-Witzenberg. He's the heir to the Swiffer wet jet fortune.
Speaker 7 What the f is that? Is that him?
Speaker 6 Oh yeah, he's super inbred. Anyway,
Speaker 6 we were talking on his luxury Winnebago that orbits the sun. He won't pay for taxes or regulation, but he will give the American people two-for-one coupons on Swiffer wet jet refills.
Speaker 6 And all he asks for in return is that we play barefoot soccer where he's the soccer ball.
Speaker 3 No.
Speaker 7 I'm not doing that.
Speaker 6 Well, I know what you're thinking, but it's not that. He just wants to eat our dead foot skin as we kick him.
Speaker 3 No.
Speaker 3 I'm not doing doing that.
Speaker 6
Well, I know what you're thinking, but it's not that. It's sexual.
No,
Speaker 25 I'm not doing that.
Speaker 7 Jesus Christ. Michael costs to everyone.
Speaker 7 When we come back, Charlemagne the God will give us his opinion, so don't go away.
Speaker 26

Speaker 26 Welcome back to The Daily Show.
Speaker 7 We all know I've got great opinions, but I'm not the only one. Studies show that other people also have opinions.
Speaker 7 So, here with another installment of In My Opinion is our good friend, Charlemagne the God.
Speaker 10
Hello, hello, hello, hello. Look, here's a controversial opinion.
I love the weekends.
Speaker 10 I know, I know, cancel me again, but I do because lately, weekends are for fun, family, and saying F you to fascists.
Speaker 12 An estimated 7 million people gathered across some 2,700 no-kings rallies in cities from coast to coast in what has been described as one of the largest single-day demonstrations in U.S.
Speaker 27 history.
Speaker 19 Protesters flooded streets, squares, and parks in both big cities and small towns.
Speaker 28 I'm 90 years old,
Speaker 28 and I've never seen my country in this condition.
Speaker 10 Wow, 90 years old and this is the worst she's ever seen in this country. She lived through the Great Depression, a World War,
Speaker 10 polio, but she's like, at least back then I never had to hear about Arnold Palmer's dick, okay?
Speaker 10
And look, all that energy, 7 million people in the streets. Yeah.
I thought white people only got that excited when a new LaCroix flavor drops.
Speaker 3 All right.
Speaker 10
Clearly the country is angry. People are screaming for change.
Democrats, let's see you harness that energy.
Speaker 5
Let's dive into the facts. The so-called big, beautiful bill, which is really a big, ugly betrayal, cuts a trillion dollars from health care.
Insurance premiums will go up 93%.
Speaker 3 No, no, no,
Speaker 3 no.
Speaker 10 We want you to match our energy. Try again.
Speaker 15 Debbie Wasserman Schultz here.
Speaker 16 Can you see me?
Speaker 24 Well of course you can't because the Republicans turned the lights off.
Speaker 3 Yeah.
Speaker 3 Yeah I knew Dims had no power but I didn't know they meant literally okay.
Speaker 10 Let's try it one more time with energy.
Speaker 30 These Republicans, they are not the party of law and order. They're the party of lawlessness and disorder in all of the ways.
Speaker 30 including the ongoing crime scene at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Speaker 3 Come on.
Speaker 3 People are angry.
Speaker 10 So why is Hakeem Jeffries talking like he's Chuck E. Cheese Obama?
Speaker 3 Okay?
Speaker 3 What are we doing? What are we doing?
Speaker 3 Come on, man. Come on, come on, come on.
Speaker 10
Clearly, the Democrats don't have the leaders they need to meet the moment. Okay, fine.
Anyone who is a fan of sports knows sometimes you need a rebuilding year.
Speaker 10 Okay, get some draft picks, develop young talent, and at some point, the old guys need to retire.
Speaker 3 LeBron. So,
Speaker 10 what the Dem should be focused on is picking exciting new candidates. What you got?
Speaker 31 Maine Governor Janet Mills has launched a bid for Senate. The 77-year-old was heavily recruited by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to join the race.
Speaker 7 If Mills wins, she would be the oldest freshman senator in U.S.
Speaker 2 history.
Speaker 2 Thanks!
Speaker 10 This is the new candidate, okay? She shouldn't be running for Senate. She should be throwing her Titanic necklace back into the ocean.
Speaker 3 You know what?
Speaker 3 You know what? Forget it.
Speaker 10 Look at Zoron Mondani, okay?
Speaker 10 You see it?
Speaker 10 Young, lots of excitement around his campaign, overwhelmingly won the primary. You guys can just endorse him.
Speaker 20 Many Democrats in Washington are still hesitant or even against showing support for Momdani.
Speaker 23 All I can tell you is I'm going to continue talking to him.
Speaker 7 What's the holdup?
Speaker 23 I got to continue talking to him and that's what I'm going to do.
Speaker 27 Is part of the calculus that if you endorse a Democratic socialist, you're worried it will be damaging to your party, maybe it'd have been your chances of winning back the Senate?
Speaker 23 I'm going to continue talking to him.
Speaker 4 Dana, you can ask me again.
Speaker 10 Can someone go reboot Chuck Schumer?
Speaker 10 Okay?
Speaker 10 Clearly that man is allergic to energy. All right? That's not the kind of leadership we're looking for, okay?
Speaker 10 These are the same Democratic leaders that shove their shitty candidates down our throats and say we have to support them because it's vote blue no matter who.
Speaker 10 Hell, you did it after Joe Biden shat the bed in the debate.
Speaker 30 President Biden, as I've said repeatedly, is our nominee. He has a tremendous track record of success.
Speaker 24 President Biden is our nominee.
Speaker 32 The voters have spoken.
Speaker 1 I'm all in, no daylight.
Speaker 5
As I've said before, I'm with Joe. As I've said before, I'm with Joe.
As I've said before, I'm with Joe.
Speaker 23 We're riding with Biden.
Speaker 4 We're riding with Biden.
Speaker 3 Did anyone mention Carrier?
Speaker 3 We're riding with Biden.
Speaker 3 See?
Speaker 10 After that train wreck debate, you stood arm in arm with Biden. Sure, it was mostly to stop him from wandering off stage, but still,
Speaker 10 you stood arm in arm with him, okay? You don't love everything about Mondani well in the immortal words of young thug whoop-de-doo. All right?
Speaker 10
Get out there and support him anyway, and I'm going to text and email you every day until you do. Chuck, democracy is on the line.
To save our country, cash at me $5 at SeatoGod, Bald and Beautiful69.
Speaker 10 That's right. That's right.
Speaker 6 And
Speaker 10 that brings me to the real problem. Democratic leaders never support candidates who might disrupt the capitalist system.
Speaker 10 But guess what? The current system isn't working. Americans want it remodeled the way Trump is remodeling the East Wing.
Speaker 3 All right?
Speaker 10
Thems act like they'll get a cookie for being the most rational people in the the room. No one cares.
You're trying to win voters, not get a signed headshot from Ezra Klein.
Speaker 10 Also, if you'd like a signed headshot from Ezra Klein, cash at me at CTAGOD, bald and beautiful, 69.
Speaker 10 Okay?
Speaker 10
Democrats don't understand how ready people are to act. Look at the Jimmy Kimmel thing.
All right, the people mobilized so fast, Disney backed down in less than a week.
Speaker 10 People affected change, and they didn't even have to leave Roku City.
Speaker 10 Yeah, and that's the point. If you can turn this energy into collective action, you can get shit done.
Speaker 3 Yeah.
Speaker 3 And if
Speaker 10 the Democrats can't lead, we the people will take action in our own way, whether it's protests, corporate boycotts, sit-ins, even a national worker strike. All right?
Speaker 10 Imagine if me, Steve Harvey, and Tyler Perry stopped working.
Speaker 10 That's only three people and it's 70% of black radio and TV.
Speaker 3 Because in America right now, our political energy is like a fat ass.
Speaker 3 Follow me on this one, okay?
Speaker 10 See, right now, America's got all its ass. And I'm sorry to say the Dems don't know how to hit it right.
Speaker 3 All right?
Speaker 10 Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries ain't got enough D for this ballot. So maybe it's time they get primaried and give someone else a chance to hit this ass.
Speaker 3 But hey, that's just my opinion.
Speaker 33

Speaker 26 Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Speaker 7 My guests tonight are an Emmy-nominated actor and a writer-producer who have written a new children's book together called Luna and the Witch Throw a Halloween Party.
Speaker 7 Please welcome Aubrey Plaza and Dan Murphy.
Speaker 3 The Halloween queen is here.
Speaker 7 So easy. Oh my God.
Speaker 7 You guys have been best friends for 20 years and creative partners. How did the two of you meet?
Speaker 3 Murph?
Speaker 14 We met to win a community theater in Wilmington, Delaware.
Speaker 3 That's
Speaker 14 I was directing the show for the summer, one act show, and I cast Aubrey on it. And she dropped me.
Speaker 24 They were 16 years old.
Speaker 7 Oh, babe, just a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3 That's right.
Speaker 3 Look at you. Wow.
Speaker 7 This was obviously a Halloween party. That was last year.
Speaker 25 Uh-huh. Last year.
Speaker 7 Dan, you were obviously dressed up as Indiana Jones and Aubrey. You were Tulsi Gabbard.
Speaker 3 Yes, yes.
Speaker 3 Thank you.
Speaker 35
Thank you. You're the only one.
You were so ahead of me.
Speaker 36 I'm the only one that got it, yeah.
Speaker 3 That's right.
Speaker 7 This book is so adorable. How, I want to know about the creative process together and what it's like working when you're that close friend.
Speaker 7 Because it can be, it's landmine city working together when you're that close like that.
Speaker 7 Do you have any advice for people who are friends working together hmm good question not that i need it i no one here wants to be friends with me oh no i understand oh i understand for people at home i think um why we are always so good at working together is because we kind of give each other space when we need it oh yes we go in separate rooms shut the door um ignore one another yeah for however long but we sleep in the same bed a lot and that's helpful too
Speaker 7 not like that no of course not no no that's that's part of how where good ideas come from.
Speaker 7 Just spooning.
Speaker 24 Space and then extreme closeness.
Speaker 7 Yeah, no, that makes sense.
Speaker 35 But a balance.
Speaker 7 Is one of you more of the leader and the other one kind of plays back up or do you switch that role sometimes?
Speaker 3 I think we switch. Yeah, I think we play both.
Speaker 24 We play both.
Speaker 38 We play both. We're on both teams.
Speaker 3
We're on both teams. I appreciate that.
Yeah.
Speaker 7
This book is really, it's so sweet and it's silly and it's funny. Luna and the witch, they're a Halloween party.
Now, the Department of Education has been been gutted.
Speaker 7 Will it be a problem for you that kids can't read?
Speaker 36 Oh no.
Speaker 35 Oh no.
Speaker 24 No, we'll just
Speaker 24 we'll just we'll just sing sing the book.
Speaker 3 Just sing it.
Speaker 7 Sing it right to read it out loud for you.
Speaker 24 Creepily, creepily and yeah.
Speaker 7 You talked about this being inspired by your grandma. Tell us what the story is about.
Speaker 35 Okay.
Speaker 24 Well, yeah, no, my grand, it was dedicated, I dedicated it to my grandma because she's like a powerful, beautiful witch in my life.
Speaker 24 But yeah, the book is kind of about a young girl named Luna who
Speaker 24 very bravely knocks on the door of an old woman named Feeny's house on her block. All the other kids think that she's a creepy old witch and she's going to put them in an oven
Speaker 24 or something. But Luna's like, I'm not afraid and I want to see what's going on with this old lady.
Speaker 24 And so she finds out that Feeny is just a silly old witch that wants to throw a Halloween party, but she just just can't figure out how to do it.
Speaker 24 And so they team up together and it's kind of a generational
Speaker 40 love story.
Speaker 24
And it's silly. Feeney's kind of a silly witch.
She thinks that the kids want to eat real spiders and troll fingers and things and Luna has to say like, no, no, Feeney, like, you know,
Speaker 24
they don't want that. They like candy.
They like candy, yes.
Speaker 7
There's some very sweet themes to the book. Kind of this whole like, don't judge a book by its cover thing, working together.
And the illustrations are beautiful. Who did the illustration?
Speaker 7 I assume it wasn't either of you two.
Speaker 7 What was it like taking on a third?
Speaker 3 It's difficult.
Speaker 14 She's British, so it's interesting.
Speaker 14
It's a very talented artist named Hannah Peck. She's London-based.
And we sort of met her through our publisher and we just thought she was fantastic. She's really cool and really got
Speaker 14 the vibe of it.
Speaker 24 Yeah,
Speaker 24 and she loves to do like kind of like like fun little details and Easter eggs. And so we had fun kind of working back and forth with her.
Speaker 7 Aubrey, you've always described yourself as being very witchy.
Speaker 7 When was the first moment that you noticed your witchiness?
Speaker 35 Right out of the womb.
Speaker 3 Yeah.
Speaker 35 I believe that. Came out in an evil formation.
Speaker 32 I just, yeah.
Speaker 24 I was spat right against the wall.
Speaker 3 That's how I did it.
Speaker 35 I even had a tiny little hat on. You did.
Speaker 3 You came out in it in a womb.
Speaker 35 I literally came out in a hat. Which hat?
Speaker 38 On a broom.
Speaker 24 You couldn't even see my body. I was just shoved all the way in the hat.
Speaker 3 Wow.
Speaker 3 Yeah,
Speaker 35 they pulled me out of the womb, then out of the hat.
Speaker 3 That is unbelievable.
Speaker 7 Now, were you also born this way?
Speaker 3 No, I was born normal.
Speaker 7 I see the dynamic now. I'm really getting a picture of the dynamic.
Speaker 7
You're also in an off-Broadway play, Let's Love. Yes.
Written by Ethan Cohen.
Speaker 35 Ethan Cohen, yep.
Speaker 3 I mean. I know.
Speaker 7 And you met him on the last movie, one of the movies that you did.
Speaker 3 Honey Done.
Speaker 38 Honey Done. Yeah.
Speaker 24
The last movie with Margaret Qualey. Yeah, I mean, he's awesome.
He's a Cohen brother.
Speaker 24 I'm such a huge...
Speaker 3 Yeah.
Speaker 40 And then,
Speaker 40 yeah, he's just the best. I mean, I love him.
Speaker 24 I love working with him. So when he asked me to do the play, I was like, yes, it's so funny.
Speaker 35 And it's happening right now.
Speaker 25 Yeah. You should be there on stage right now.
Speaker 7 Very soon. But selfishly, I'm going to ask you more questions.
Speaker 24 No, no, no, it's fine.
Speaker 3 No. No, no.
Speaker 7 You're like, I'm really, Deadsy, I have to get the out of here. Okay, one more question.
Speaker 7 Well, I do want to ask you about, I want to ask you about the play. What do you love about doing live theater that you don't quite get to do doing TV and film?
Speaker 24
I mean, I think it's just like you get to, you just, you get a do-over every night. I mean, it's fun.
It's like, for me, I love just doing it.
Speaker 24 And so, you know, when you do a movie or a TV, you only get a couple chances.
Speaker 40 But...
Speaker 24
