uiz. well, it's probably time to hang this up, huh, dad? yep, i suppose so. "the david geffen living room"? what-- what is this? oh, the lawyers said since he gave us ten million dollars, he's contractually entitled to have his name on a part of the house. that doesn't seem fair. i know, such rich guy bull crap. but we'll have to continue this conversation on next week's episode of david geffen's family guy. -what? -david geffen good night. ♪ ♪ >> announcer: from the most trusted journalists at comedy central... it's america's only source for news. this is "the daily show" with your host, jordan klepper! ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ >> jordan: welcome to "the daily show!" i'm jordan klepper. we've got so much to talk about tonight.

qatar is bribing the friendly skies, hasan piker suggests that democrats try to win, and president trump is out of the country, so someone lock the [bleep] doors! let's get into all of it with our new segment, "trump meets world." ♪ ♪ >> international humiliation, one after another. >> jordan: being an american president is hard. people criticize your policies, nitpick your moral deficiencies. every time you even suggest removing habeas corpus, people start whining. "no, we need that, boo-hoo!" sometimes you just want to go somewhere where people don't pick apart your flaws, and they treat you like a king! >> overnight, president trump touching down in saudi arabia escorted by military jets, a lavish welcome for his first visit to the middle east since his re-election. >> the saudi prince greeted him at the airport and he got a horse escort into the saudi palace. >> jordan: wow, a horse escort!

i got to say, when you hear that trump got a horse escort, this is the best version of that story. [laughter and applause] [cheers and applause] but saudi arabia, oh, man, they went all out. it wasn't just the horse escort. they greeted trump with a full brass band that was... ♪ ♪ really trying their best. and then it was time for trump to walk down the famous purple carpet. and so he walked, and he walked. really feels like we could've stayed in the car for some of this, huh? well, at least there's an escalator. and we're walking again.

that's fine, it's a cool 108 degrees, this guy can handle it. you know trump's looking at the carpet going, "these things fly here, right? don't they show me a whole new world or some shit?" but look, a horse guard and purple carpets, that might impress the average world leader, but donald trump is no average world leader. and saudi arabia knows how to cater to a man with such refined tastes. >> saudi arabia had a mcdonald's mobile truck come on-site so that president trump could have his favorite, mcdonald's. >> jordan: perfect! perfect! it is nice to see they got another use out of the horses once they were done with the escort. it's good. it's good. you got to hand it to the saudis, though they know the fastest way to trump's heart is through his stomach, out the colon, with a little bit staying behind in his

arteries. but not everything in the royal kingdom was to trump's liking. after they arrived, the saudis served some coffee, but while everyone else drank theirs, donald trump just held his in his hand the whole time. look at that. it looks like he was waiting to give a urine sample to the nurse. honestly, i get it! unfamiliar coffee on a trip is risky! one sip is all it takes to go from traveler's constipation to traveler's "you guys go without me, i'm going to hang out in the room for a while..." it's a smart move, mr. president. you don't want to throw a wrench into that perfect gut biome you've created. that being said, trump maybe regretted not taking that caffeine shot a few minutes later. >> mohammed bin salman is saying we need a resolution on a palestinian state.

i don't necessarily recall several years ago, pre-october 7th, as that being a demand that he had necessarily stated publicly. do you think his position has changed or do you think the way he has expressed himself has that changed? >> jordan: did i miss my stop? mr. president, come on, you can't fall asleep there! this isn't an intelligence briefing! come on, man. now look, it's not actually a big deal for the president to have jet lag. i'm not so much of an asshole that i'd make fun of someone for nodding off a bit on a trip. but you know who is that much of an asshole? >> joe biden, the guy can fall asleep instantly with the press watching. who the hell wants to sleep with these people watching? and he's out cold. you see the dribble coming down the side of his cheek. >> jordan: well, well, well.

look who's sleepy now! [cheers and applause] i tell you what, i tell you w what. joe biden, you must be loving this -- oh, he's passed out. never mind. of course, it's in the saudi's interest to give trump the royal treatment. but i'm sure the president of the united states understands that the saudi crown prince is not without baggage. it was just a few years ago that he murdered an american journalist. so i'm sure the president will keep a healthy distance from the crown prince. >> i like him a lot. i like him too much, that is why we give so much. too much. i like you too much. >> jordan: i agree, you might just like him too much! regardless, it was a very nice start to this trip abroad, where he'll visit not just saudi arabia, but then qatar and

the uae. but you might be wondering, why did trump pick these countries for his first foreign trip? well, there's a strong geopolitical balance of relationships -- i'm [bleep] with you! corruption! >> his sons who now run the trump organization have lucrative real estate deals in the works in all three countries the president is visiting. >> jordan: the trump boys have projects in all three countries? i'd never thought i'd say this, but can't these countries go back to doing something more constructive, like funding terrorism? but donald trump doesn't see any of these business conflicts as a problem. in fact, if anything, he's taking conflicts to a new height. as in the sky. >> we turn to the uproar over the $400 million gift from the government of qatar tonight. a luxury 747 jumbo jet to be used as air force one until the end of trump's term, when the white house says it would be

decommissioned and donated to the trump library. [audience reacts] >> jordan: yeah, i think we can stop pretending that this airplane is going to be "transferred to his presidential library." this is like the news reporting your aunt is bringing her "good friend" linda to thanksgiving. they're [bleep], people. now apart from being a security concern and a potential bribe, it seems clearly unconstitutional to give the president a gift like this. but what do i know? attorney general pam bondi, what say you? >> attorney general pam bondi said the gift is, quote, "legally permissible and not a bribe because trump isn't giving qatar anything in return." >> jordan: there you have it! there you have it! trump hasn't given them anything, and it's been 36 hours. and i trust her, she's the attorney general. just as a quick fact check, what

did she do before she was the attorney general? >> we should point out that bondi previously worked as a foreign lobbyist for the nation of qatar, earning about $115,000 a month. >> jordan: all right, right. okay, sure it looks bad, but you have to understand: that's a lot of money, and money feels good to have and to spend. so now i get it. for more on trump's visit to saudi arabia, we go live to our very own michael kosta. [cheers and applause] michael, you're embedded with the trump team, how's it going? >> jordan, it's going great. the saudis are treating us like kings. five-star hotels, fine dining. i just used the bidet and woo-hoo! i wish it was a ba-month. i don't know why the saudis get such a bad rap. >> jordan: because they're an oppressive dictatorship that mistreats women, and they did

9/11. >> yeah, yeah, i was going to ask them some tough questions about that. and then the free massage started, and jordan, whoa. omar used to do interrogations, so he knows how to get deep into that tissue. i usually don't like when men touch my body, but i know he's not gay since over here, that's a crime. that also made me feel a lot better about that happy ending. >> jordan: you know, michael, a lot of people think that the gulf states are just bribing trump to get what they want. it kind of seems like these bribes might be working. >> whoa, jordan! bribe? easy on the b-word, bitch. these countries are just being good friends. and friends sometimes give other friends billions of dollars in crypto and airplanes. i mean, i got you that bread-maker for your wedding, didn't i? >> joran: no! you didn't get me anything. you just got shit-faced and tackled my grandmother during the electric slide.

>> well, in my defense, i thought her oxygen tank was a bomb. point is, maybe the bribes are a good thing. if you want trump to fix the middle east, he needs some skin in the game. you think he's going to do this pro-bono? he doesn't give a [bleep] what the guys from u2 think! >> jordan: michael, this is the pathway to corruption. if trump takes bribes, he's going to favor that country in decisions regarding american policy. >> trump's going to take bribes no matter what. the smart thing to do is make sure he takes bribes from every country. then he'll work for every country and we'll live in harmony. that's why i say, "if you want world peace, you got to give trump a piece." you see what i did there? i spelled it differently. it's clever, it's a play on words -- >> jordan: yeah, i see what you did. [applause] very clever. but this whole thing just doesn't feel good.

>> well, then you should talk to omar. because he can make you feel real good. now if you excuse me, i'm going to use the bidet again. this thing's like a firehose. i'm practically cleaning my teeth with it. omar, grab some towels! >> jordan: okay, that's gross. michael kosta, everyone! when we come back, i talk with hasan piker, so don't go away.

[cheers and applause] >> jordan: welcome back to "the daily show." it's common knowledge that the podcast world is full of maga right-wingers. but the left has some big players, too. i spoke to one of their biggest. >> after ten years of covering the trump campaign, i thought nothing could shock me anymore, but somehow in 2024, young voters and most especially young men went hard for a 78-year-old who uses pancake makeup. >> the provost, especially on college campuses, broke heavily for trump. >> trump got voters with engaging with right-wing influencers. a collection of social media, a space that the left seems to ignore. but someone saw this as a mistake. >> were you surprised that so

many young people showed up and voted for donald trump? >> no. not even a little bit. >> there's his hasan piker. he's a progressive who has intellectual sit downs with bernie and aoc and still manages to post third trap workout videos to his 2.8 million followers on the platform switch. this combo has liberal media asking if he is the magical connection to young male boaters. >> this is where you twitch from. what is a twitch? >> basically youtube what you are live streaming. >> a podcaster people who are like, i wish this podcast was longer. yet his lefty bona fide might've made him a target for donald trump's homeland security which recently detained piker at the airport. >> how do you see the left communicating with young men in this time of the manosphere? >> the left could, i don't know, stop vilifying them. there's a lot of anger, resentment. not having any hope for the future. never being able to retire. never being able to own a home. all of those things are very much at the core identity for

the next generation. >> but is there room for the democrats to create a left-wing manosphere, to talk about the social safety net and protein powder? >> absolutely. i think there is a space for it. but i don't think the left feels that avoid at all at this moment. i try to do so, but even i sometimes get hit with a "this is fascism." >> i have to worry about a new fascism? i was just getting used to the old fascism. what does the term body fascism mean? >> i don't fully understand it. i think it is a lot of leftists hate other leftists. any consideration about the aesthetics of how you look is actually another way to i guess reinforce an unjustifiable hierarchy. >> to be fair, that is why i don't work out. because i'm antibody fascism so people are like, are you lazy? i'm like, no, i am a socialist with my body. >> respect. >> it's todd young man just being drawn to the right. some technology is giving them a push. a recent study created generic

tiktok accounts for imaginary 16-18-year-old boys to see how the algorithm acted. and within 23 minutes, they were fed masculine, antifeminist, extremist content. >> by for a man is harder than a woman. >> the hotter it will minutes, the more insecure she is about her looks. >> you are body, my choice. >> so i was excited to dip my toe into this cesspool. >> i set up this account as a 16-year-old pretending. >> that is what the pedophile hunters do as well. >> i'm not in that world. this is what my algorithm essentially feels like. first up, some content from charlie kirk. kirk is a right-wing influencers known for trolling liberals on college campuses. >> you said male varese does are masculine. i think you and i can both agree that male baristas are not high on the testosterone. >> pause for a second. he is a podcaster. >> he is a podcaster. we are doing something very,

very not, like, alpha dog. they mistake being confident for what it means to be masculine. >> okay, moving on. >> he is sick. okay, i'm seeing your algorithm. may i gently bury my face in those melters? >> this dog -- there is just so much going on. this dog wants to [bleep] a woman? >> i don't know what is going on. >> i don't know -- >> who are you, jordan? >> tiktok makes me very existential. >> what are these trucks? what is going on? >> i like this one, though. me, the only thing i do behind your back is look at your ass. this is kind of sweet. >> why is it always trucks? >> you get dogs that objectify women and also trucks that objectify women. are you a sea lion because i would like to see you lying in my bed, sweetie? >> i'm telling you, this is for -- how old are you? >> and 46. >> this is literally -- the tiktok algorithm at some point

identified you as a 46-year-old man. >> [laughs] you can tell that because it is a dog that wants to [bleep] me? >> this is 100 -- even the first dog one -- >> it found me. >> now you understand how people find themselves captivated by right-wing politics. >> oh, my god. >> a lot of people are emotionally and mentally stunted adults running around and that is why they think andrew tate is awesome. i think we are arriving at how that happened. >> in the end, young people just want influencers to connect with them from politicians who address their concerns, and social media that doesn't break their brains. >> i want to keep scrolling through the dumb actor to see if there's any more dogs i want to [bleep]. ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] >> jordan: thank you, hasan piker. and for more about the rise of young trump fans, check out my new special, "maga: the next generation," airing next monday, may 19th, right after the daily show, right here on comedy central. when we come back, matt wolf will be joining me on the show, so don't go away.

[cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ matt! [cheers and applause] i saw this -- i saw the doc, two-part doc. people are clamoring for it. there's a lot of love for pee-wee herman and paul reubens. i think what we just saw in the clip -- i want to go right at

that. it tells the story of paul reubens and pee-wee herman, and who is paul reubens within the story of pee-wee herman and outside of it as well. what you leave him, you are a part of this. you are off-camera, and in that moment right there, there is a tension between you and paul. walk me through -- what is happening right there? what was the inherent tension we are seeing and the tension you had in making this documentary? >> well, from the moment i met paul reubens, he said to me, i want to direct my own documentary but everyone is telling me i shouldn't do it and i don't understand why. and i said, well, i'm here to meet with you about me directing the documentary. that dynamic didn't go away. >> jordan: yeah. [laughs] >> we were a little competitive in the process because paul was somebody who totally separated himself from his alter ego, pee-wee herman. and i was sort of asking him to bring those two things together. so he was a little rebellious in the interviews. >> jordan: [laughs] you coming into something like

that, what is the story you wanted to tell? he says you have an agenda in that clip. what is your agenda? >> it's interesting, my whole pitch to him was i wanted to make a portrait of an artist. he wanted to really set the record straight and overcome some of the controversies from his arrest and i said, that is the easy part. the harder part is to really look inward. who are you really as a person who the world does and how even though your character is so iconic? >> jordan: it's interesting because it feels like the documentary looks at the arrests and sort of what happened post pee-wee or the initial run of pee-wee. but he is reticent in telling that story. even to the point where he avoided you at the end of filming, right? do you feel like you were able -- what did he want to say and what was he able to actually reveal? >> i think paul felt comfortable talking about his artistry and less comfortable talking about the controversies that surrounded it but he was determined to overcome those controversies.

so i was there to help him do it but he really wanted creative control. it was a little like, you know, his achilles' heel, and so we were at odds. and some time went by where we weren't working together. it was only at the end before paul died that i was able to talk to him, and he wanted to move forward. i didn't know what was going on behind the scenes. >> jordan: what's crazy, you make it very clear, you didn't know he was dying. paul reubens was battling cancer at the end for years but you are unaware of this while you were working with him. >> no idea at all. >> jordan: he basically blocks you off for a little while. >> there was a time where we weren't working together. we were trying to find a path forward and we couldn't. fortunately, i was able to talk to him toward the end and i could tell something was up but i have no idea the gravity of it. i was supposed to do a final interview with him the week after he died. >> jordan: really?

yeah, so he passes, and you are already having this dynamic, where there is a battle for control over who gets it held that story. he passes, you have a new responsibility. how does that change how you are putting together the documentary? >> i mean, it was the largest responsibility i have ever been given. >> jordan: did you creatively change what you are imagining? did you owe his creative vision more after that? did you feel more constrained by that responsibility? >> no, but i knew what happened between us and the circumstances in which the film was being finished was part of the story. so i had to pivot in that regard and also to recognize there were things going on that i didn't know about when we are making the film. but at the end of the day, i wanted to make a portrait of the singular artist and that did not change. >> jordan: it is a remarkable film or multiple piece documentary. thank you for putting it on. the two-part documentary "pee-wee as himself" premieres may 23rd on hbo and max. matt wolf. we're going to take a quick break, but we'll be right back after this.
