Hey, everybody. Jon Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show. It's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting. You'll be saying to yourself, T-G-I-D. Thank God it's Thursday. We're going to be talking about all the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election, economics, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that fourth, but in importance, it's probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the Weekly Show with Jon Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central.

From Chicago, the city named after that Broadway musical. It's The Daily Show's Indecision 2024, a Democratic National Convention. Broadband with your host, Desi Leidig. Welcome to This is the Baby Show. I'm Jessie Leidig, and we are in Chicago. I love this city. I am seeing so many famous Chicago places from movies and TV. I ate at the restaurant from The Bear. I went to the museum from Farris Buhler. And tonight, after the show, I'm going to go rob the house from Home Alone Chicago. But of course, we're here for the Democratic National Convention. And last night was so jam-packed with speakers that even music legend, James Taylor, got bumped for time. Yeah, but good news, we've got him on our show tonight. James Taylor will be here. But first, let's get right into our coverage of Indecision 2024. It is day two of the DNC. All of the delegates are gathered from across the country to participate in this most hallowed and sober-minded Democratic process. So let's go live with our own Roni Chang. Roni, a lot of major players there tonight. Who are you talking to on the ground? You got Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Doug Emhoff.

No one, Desi. No one would talk to me at all. It's like they're not even taking me seriously. Why do you think that is? It's pretty obvious. Duh. Racism. Yes, definitely racism. Thank you, Roni. Roni Chang, everyone. Okay. That was immensely unhelpful. So let's go back to night one. Last night was all about President Joseph's retirement Biden. And everyone came forward to toast the man of the evening, including a surprise appearance from the woman who's been taking measurements in his office, Kamala Harris. And I want to kick us off by celebrating our incredible President, Joe Biden.

We are forever grateful to you.

For President Biden's lifetime of achievement, we owe him a great debt of gratitude. Thank you to Joe Biden. Thank you, Joe.

Thank you, Joe.

Thank you, Joe. And God bless you. We love you. That is so nice. I mean, even Nancy Pelosi was chanting, We love Joe, and she's the one who pushed him out of the race. It's like the iceberg waving goodbye to the Titanic. Hi. Thanks for everything. Now, before President Biden came out to speak, we got to hear a powerful speech from Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State, and the reason you have a trauma response every time you hear, This is my fight song. She made a case for Kamala Harris while making the case against Donald Trump. Although there was one moment where she also became him. The first person to run for President with 34 felony convictions. As vice President, as Vice President Kamala sat in the situation room. Well, well, well. Looks like the Lock Them Up E has become the Lock Them Up-er. Look at That smile. That's the smile of a woman going, I get it now. Sometimes it feels good to be bad. I thought Hillary Thierry's whole speech was very moving. In fact, she killed it, although it will be ruled as suicide. On the other hand, over in the right-wing media world, they had a major complaint.

Hillary Clinton, she's the most joyless person I think was ever walked on this Earth. That speech of just her Stalinist negative half screaming to the crowd. Come on. Criticizing Hillary for being joyless? Why don't you go post a Harambe meme on Vine, your 2015 piece of shit? But if Conservatives hate Hillary not smiling, I'm sure they'll love Kamala, who was all smiles last night. Kamala Harris came out on the stage. All the laughing, it's like she got into the Sherry or something. Come on, guys. Hillary doesn't smile enough. Kamala smiles too much. You know what? You don't get an opinion on this, okay? You get to control one hole on women's bodies, not two. And you picked one hole. Women can't When I'm in, this right here is exactly where I'm going to have that plastic surgery where they remove your mouth entirely. It's just easier. It's just easier. But let's move on because remember, this is Joe Biden's Night, and it's actually starting to get a little bit late. So let's get to Joe Biden. Please welcome former Rhode Island governor, Gina Raimondo, Robert García, Dick Durban, Doris Johnson, Jesse Jackson, Tony Goldman, Steve Kerr, Sean Fane.

And the words of the great American poet, Nelly, it's getting hot in here. Okay, yeah, I guess we had time for a dad bod strip tease. But guys, it's really getting late now, so let's wrap up the other speakers and bring out Joe.

Please welcome Congressman Jim Clibern.

Raphael Warnock, Cathy Hocel, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jamie Raskin, Jasmine Crockett, Chris Coons. I want to talk with you for just a few minutes. Jesus Christ. Is this still going on? No disrespect to Chris Coons, but Chris Coons. It is almost midnight. Mama's got to get to bed. And you know who else has to get to bed? Joe Biden. For the love of God, let's hear from Biden. Please welcome Ashley Biden. Not that Biden. It is 11:00. You can't be introducing the new Bidons right now. Do we have to go through the whole family? Is Commander Biden going to come out after this? Jesus. It was so late. By the time Biden actually got on the stage, even the right wing pundits were inserted. A sitting President pushed out a primetime. It was incredibly disrespectful. I mean, no matter your politics or how you feel the current Commander-in-Chief. He is the current President of the United States. I almost felt badly for him. Is the ultimate slap in the face. Is this really how you treat someone that you love? I just think that's disgusting. Nancy Follier. I'm sorry. I'm very confused here. Do you guys hate him or not?

Joe Biden is a corrupt leader of a crime family who stole the presidency, and how dare they keep him up past his bedtime. The nerd. The nerd. But finally, finally, Joe Biden took the stage at 11:26 Eastern Time, which is late. Although I will remind the East Coast media elites at Fox News that there are other time zones. And I'm in one right now. Very nice. I like it here. Now, you might expect that by 11:26, Joe Biden would be coming to the stage in pajamas in one of those old-timey sleeping hats. Instead, he gave his most high energy performance in a long time. Putin thought he'd take Kyiv in three days. Three years later, Ukraine is still free. China will inevitably surpass the United States. They haven't noticed. No one's saying that now. He never built a damn thing. Who in the hell does he think he is? Who does he think he is not worthy of being Commander Chief? Period. Not then, not now, and not ever. Excuse me. Is it getting hot in here? Aside from bringing the energy, he also brought all the feels. I've made a lot of mistakes in my career, but I gave my best to you.

For 50 years, like many of you, I've given my heart and soul to our nation, and I've been blessed a million times in return for the support of the American people. But I hope you know how grateful I am to all of you. It's been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your President. I love the job, but I love my country more. This was one of Joe Biden's finest moments. He was forceful, he was selfless, he was patriotic. Honestly, it almost made wonder if maybe we should go back and... Oh, Jesus, Nancy. Damn it. I take it back. I take it back. For more on Biden's Big Night, we go live to Troy Iwata. Troy, after Biden gave that great speech, do you think Democrats might have any regrets? No.

I mean, no, no, no, not at all.

They appreciate everything Joe Biden has done for them, but they're also happy he's gone. And that's why I'm here at the greeting card store. I'm looking for something that says, We love you, while also saying, Do not come back. Nancy Pelosi gave me $1,000 to buy one with just the right message. Wait, Nancy Pelosi gave you $1,000 to buy a card? Yeah. She doesn't know how much things cost. Also, I think she thinks I'm her assistant, Steve. What makes you think that? She keeps calling me Steve. Anyways, here's one. It says, Thanks for the memories, and just to be clear, we're not going to make any new ones. Or there's this one. This says, You've done so much for us, and we're all good now. Thanks. Wow. Hallmark's making very specific cards. Yeah. How about this one? It says, Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. But just to reiterate, it's definitely over. I don't know, Troy. That seems mean. Well, here's one. To my dear President, thank you for your years of service, but what I'm most grateful for is your statesmanlike surrender of power. You will be enshrined in the history of our nation.

Oh. Yeah. That one's beautiful. It sounds perfect. Yeah, but it's in comic sans font. I'm not that. All right, Troy, we need you back at the studio, so just pick a card, any card. Okay. All right. David Blaine, calm down. Forget the cards. I'll do what I normally do, and just when I thank people, I'll just Venmo him $20. Troy, Nancy Pelosi gave you $1,000. Okay, fine. The best I can do is $25. Troy Wada, everybody. When we come back, the best you've seen with the convention floor. Coming up, the great James Taylor, so don't go away.

Hey, everybody. Jon Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? Listen to The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to The Daily Show.

The Democratic National Convention is in full swing, and the delegates are feeling good. So our news team went over to see if anything could ruin the good mood. Everybody knows I'm known for my positive vibes and happy-go-lucky attitude. So let's go talk to some left showing nerds here at the DNC. Every convention has a theme, and this year's Democratic Convention is all about the vibes. What's the vibes here at the convention? Upbeat. Sparkling. Sparkling.

Yeah.

Positive? I'm all about the motivating vibe. Let's get it done. Are you feeling electric?

I do feel electric.

Don't shock me if I touch you. That's a little electric there. What's your personal vibe? Electric, top-tier vibe.

I went viral.

Like last week. For having good vibes?

Just walking down the street, there are people who have nothing to do with the DNC, have nothing to do with the campaign, and they're talking about the campaign. It just feels like we're going to do this.

Oh, God, it feels so good. It's almost as though the Democrats won't this up. You either of you recall a time when the vibes were so high from a political event? No. No. Not really, no. For me, it was when Patti LaBelle couldn't find her background singer at the 1996 National Yes. We're my background singer. Thank you. I'm hoping for another one of that to happen here. Let's say it together. One, two, three. We're my background singer. The vibes are great, but should they be? The country is in serious trouble, and we don't know how Kamala is going to fix any of it. Maybe the Democrats here will want a chance to drop the vibes and talk policy. Manufacturing jobs may be disappearing. Those vibes are not disappearing.

I don't know what you're reading.

You're reading Is this box, Trump?

Garbage?

Wow, okay.

Forget the policy. Let's go back to the vibes.

Who do you think Kamala should pick for the Secretary of Vibes? Janet Yellen, Sabrina Carpenter. Oh, Sabrina Carpenter. Do you think that vibes are more important or would you say policy is more important? Absolutely policy. I don't know if you really understand politics that much. I work in politics.

Do you mind if I cop some of your vibe right now?

Which one would you like? This one. A patriotic one.

Besides, we have some of these nerds here.

Maybe we don't want to talk policy. Let's sing it together. Harmonize with me up here.

We're going to get there.

What's your vibe of the Kamala border policy? I really appreciated the way that she spoke to it during her rally in Atlanta. It's an economic issue. You cannot just say that we need to deport a million immigrants like JD Bant said. I know it's extremely important, and I feel like she's put forward meaningful policies, and Republicans have shot them down. Republicans are all about politics in red and blue. I'm a public policy major, I want to find solutions. We literally had a bill on the table, and Republicans said no. You're really killing my vibrant. Good vibe. Come on. Come on. All right. When you come back, Congresswoman Lauren Underwood will be joining me on this show, followed by a performance with James Sandler. Don't go away.

Hey, everybody. Jon Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show. It's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting. You'll be saying to yourself, T-G-I-D. Thank God it's Thursday. We're going to be talking about all the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they upset Trust me, the election, economics, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that, fourth. But in importance, it's probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to The Daily Show.

My guest tonight represents the 14th district of Illinois in the House of Representatives and is the co founder of the Black Maternal Health Caucus. Please welcome Congresswoman Lauren Underwood. Well, well, well. You got a lot of fans here. Thank you. Thank you for being here. I'm so excited. Welcome to Chicago. Well, thank Thank you. It's great to be here. They love you. Thank you. You hear that? Thank you. As they should, as they should. I am so inspired by all of the work that you do. So having you here is a real treat, and especially being here in Chicago. I couldn't imagine a better guess. Thank you very much. You have quite a few firsts. You are the first woman, the first person of color, and the first millennial to represent your district.

Yes, ma'am.

You're also the youngest black woman to ever serve in Congress. Ever. Now, there's another woman that is on the cusp of some firsts. Yes. Do you have Kamala Harris? Sorry, does she have you on speed dial for advice?

Well, it's been so interesting welcoming Vice President Harris and so many folks from around the country here to Illinois. It's made me reflect on conventions of the past. This is my fourth Democratic Convention. In years past, some girlfriends and I would travel. We called ourselves social delegates it. Some of them are here today. We were here for the vibe, for the parties.

There they are.

We had a great time, obviously, as proud Democrats, but also really doing some professional development. Yes. Yes. Here at the convention.

You spoke last night. How was that? How did it feel? You were wonderful. Thank you.

The speech was really exciting. We were able to talk about so many health care achievements. The way that I've been able to work with Vice President Harris and President Joe Biden to lower out-of-pocket health care costs for the American people. Our successful legislation that allows Americans to access health plans for $10 or less per month is now law. And obviously, my work with Vice President Harris to advance and address the issue of maternal health in this country.

You actually have a combined 18 pieces of legislation that were signed into law since you entered in 2018. That's right. And many of them. Eighteen is a lot. A lot. Thank you. That's incredible. Cool. And so many of them were health-focused. Health care, maternal health, specifically. What inspired you to want to focus so much of your work on that?

I'm a registered nurse. Spent my career working to expand health care coverage. Thank you. In communities across our country, and I've really seen firsthand the impact of the high costs of health care. So many people can't afford to see a provider. If they get an unexpected diagnosis, they can't afford a procedure, much less get the medication that they need. And And so I really took advantage once I got into office, of course, of the opportunity to lead and make sure that we were taking action to realize the promise of affordable health care through the ACA. And so, obviously, have really been successful to advance legislation, and we've had the lowest number of uninsured Americans in US history. That's incredible. In Congress, we say we I put people over politics. And what that means is we're focused on lowering costs for the American people, but also making sure that in health care, we're taking the opportunity to address long-standing disparities, especially disparities in maternal health. What I'm talking about is in our country, Black women have been three to four times more likely to die of pregnancy-related complications than their White counterparts. It's devastating. I had a good girlfriend die in 2017 after delivering birth to a beautiful baby girl.

My friend's name was Shalonne Irving. And so I knew that when I decided to run for office, and if I won, this would be an issue that I want to work on. And so in Congress, I've been so honored to partner with great leaders like then Senator Kamla Harris to introduce groundbreaking legislation, historic legislation called the MAMDAVUS, designed to address every clinical and non-clinical factor contributing to preventable maternal death in this country. We've been successful. We've had one of our bills signed into law. Yes.

Maternal health feels like an issue that should absolutely be bipartisan. Shouldn't there be an overwhelming amount of support for these things?

Well, the issue itself absolutely is bipartisan. We are seeing so many families recognize themselves in the story. This is an issue that touches every zip code, every state in this country. We have tremendous disparities, meaning poor outcomes in rural communities, folks who are unable to get the quality of care or the choice of provider. We believe that if you want to see a midwife or want to get a doula or need some help breastfeeding, no matter where you live in this country, you should be able to access those resources. Right now, you can't. You can't. And so, we've been able to work together as Democrats and Republicans to be able to advance this legislation. We're looking for the first legislative opportunity to get the whole package, the whole mamdaba, signed into law. Yes. So you're lips to God here.

It's an issue that doesn't just impact women. People talk about these issues like their women's issues. These are family issues. That's right. They impact everyone.

That's right. It's an economic issue. When we think about this upcoming election, I really think about issues like maternal health, like health care as being on the ballot. As we all go out and vote, if we want to lower our out-of-pocket health care costs, we have to vote like it. If we want to make sure that we can all access high-quality, comprehensive health care, including reproductive health care, we have to go vote. Because by staying at By staying at home, we're allowing the extremists to win, and we know the path that they want to take us down.

Speaking of extremists, JD Vance. Yes. And others have been responsible for quite a bit of anti-woman rhetoric. What do you make of all of this?

It's so clear to me that JD Vance has a deeply rooted pathology when it comes to his hatred of women. I really hope he's going to therapy. I really do. It's so clear that he needs therapy. It's clear to me that we might laugh, but he does not belong in the White House. I grew up here in the great state of Illinois in the '90s, and we had the fortune of having the Oprah Winfrey show on TV twice a day here in the Chicagoland area. You're lucky. Yes. One of the great guests that she would always have on was Maya Angelou, who taught us that when someone tells you about themselves, you believe them the first time. Now, JD My man, Chris Vance, has told us about his dangerous extreme policy agenda for American women, and it's up to us to believe him right now and to reject it and make sure that we go out and vote.

I heard that your parents are here tonight. Oh, yeah. You're going to have to. Right here. Hi, Mom and Dad. Oh, boy. You must be very proud of your daughter. Very proud. Good job, Mom and Dad. You did a very good job. I heard that your mom said that you have always been a good girl.

Yes, I do. I'm a rule-follower. I can't help it. My heart starts to race if I color outside the line sometimes.

I understand. As a fellow rule follower, good girl herself, I sometimes like to rebel a little bit by doing wild things like doing crossword puzzles in ink.

Yeah.

Wow.

Living on the edge.

Would you ever do something like that? How do you act out when you want to?

Well, I love reality TV, especially the show survivor. There's a lot of parallels between that particular show and my workplace. I get a lot of inspiration from the great heroes and villains of reality TV.

I thought you were going to say Love Island or Vandertump Rules. You go survivor. It still involves democracy.

Always. Every person has a vote. Thank you. So unbranded. I love it about you. Thank you.

The joy and the excitement is palpable right now with Kamala at the top of the ticket. Now, you worked very closely with her. What was your experience like?

Kamala Harris is an incredible leader. I can't wait for the American people to get to know her as I have. She is warm and smart and funny, and kind. Kamla Harris cares a lot about the maternal health issues that we spoke about earlier. That's how I came to know her. But as vice president, she's really taken action to invite folks over to her home, and she loves to throw a party. At the end of her engagements and affairs, she gives you a parting gift. Now, that's a sign of a good party. Her parting gifts are these beautiful candles. She has these custom candles. Now, you're a millennial woman, I'm a millenn woman. I'm a millenn woman, and we know that we love a candle. Can we just say, I love a candle. I love a candle. Who doesn't love a candle? I was inspired by her gorgeous scent her candle to launch my own candle line. Did you? Yes, of course. It's called Domestic Tranquiliti. I mean, stop.

As though you're not busy enough. You have a candle line?

Yes, ma'am.

It's called what?

Domestic Tranquility. I'm full of these. Yes.

I want in on this. How do I invest in this business?

Well, you can visit underwoodforcongress. Com.

I'm in. I am totally That's really it. Give you all the fun. Oh, my gosh. It is such a delight to have you on. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for all of the work that you do. It's truly remarkable. Thank you. Congresswoman Lauren, on your side here. We're going to take a kick break, but we'll be right back after this with the one and only James Taylor.
