Published Jul 28, 2024, 7:30 AM

The Daily Show News Team coverage of the DNC over the years including late-night drinks with delegates, healing Hillary’s heartbroken supporters, and testing the limits of inclusivity. 

You're listening to Comedy Central.

Now, Hey there, this is Daisy Lightik. The Daily Show is on break this week. I know, I know, but don't worry. We picked some of our favorite recent moments from the show in case you missed them. We'll be back with brand new shows next week, but until then, enjoy today's episode.

Four years ago, a miracle was inspired by an uplifting slogan, yeah we come, later turned into an insufferable pop song, Yes we came this year. The slogan is forward, which sounds like the kind of thing that Matthew Broderick shouted at his soldiers in Glory before they were shot to pieces. The Democrats clearly needed help. Let's think of a punchy slogan you can slap on a bumper sticker and that will make everyone excited for the four years ahead.

So he didn't create this, he inherited this.

I don't hate it, but I've definitely don't like it.

I'm looking for a like a three word slogan, moving on, moving on up.

We've still our trials and tribulations and we're going to get through them.

That's do you know what a slogan is?

Nobody's perfect.

Nobody's perfect.

That's that's not bad. It's pretty bad.

I feel worse than I did when we started this conversation. I do apologize.

That's not bad.

I do apologize.

Oh okay, oh okay. He's trying the best that he can.

Right, He's trying the best that he can. That's that's a pretty good slogan. Obartma twenty twelve. He's trying the best that he can.

He's trying the best that he can. He's trying the best that he can. I think that he's been blocked by Congress.

I think I really believe that there's been no comp remise there.

He's trying the best that he can.

I don't love it, and I do hate it. So anything better.

It's just taken longer than we thought. So some people started to lose hope.

I'm not sure that really works as a slogan.

Are you excited to have the president we elected?

Job?

Absolutely?

Okay?

Would you mind telling your face, voice, and personality about that excitement?

Sure, I'm real excited. It's difficult to be president. It's difficult to be president.

It is a very difficult job the States.

You're responsible for an entire country.

Logo needs to be U. He doesn't know.

It's difficult to be difficult. I told you it was not a good slow it's.

A terrible slogan. There are no bad ideas at this point. Slogan for future go let us do it. Okay. So that's the bar that we're working from.

So I'm looking for a slogan. What do you got? Yes we can, Yes we can, Yes we can?

Is to the isn't a name, it's an old T shirt to wear?

What do you got now? Yes we can, but we need to wait?

That was that? Was it?

Say that again? Yes we can, but that's it. That's it. Yes we can, box, yes we can, but the European debt crisis is completely out of his control. No way, it's not as ball. Yes we can, but he heard it crap, I mean, I mean, was terrible.

Yes we can, but with three words and an extra words that will ring from coat the coast, from yes we.

Can't, but yes we can, but yes we can, but yes.

We can.

Forward in Denver, there's only one question on every ridiculously dressed upond it's mind.

Will the Clinton forces and the Obama forces unite?

Can the Democratic Party truly come together.

We sat down with a diverse group of Democrats to find.

Out we're unified. Then the fact that we don't want Obama to become our next president.

I will not vote for Senator Barack Hussain Obama.

Apparently the Clinton supporters are united, and they've got the websites to prove it.

Clintonsfor McCain dot com, Democrats for McCain dot com, Higher heels dot com, Wait dot com.

It stands for a party unity.

My ass did you consider fatbuy dot com?

It's taken, and we'll look at a few names similar to that.

But they were taken.

They had their reasons and an unassilable logic.

The DNC has betrayed us as Democrats.

There was an abundance of fraud.

Florida and Michigan was completely unfair.

Exactly.

It's not like she ever agreed to exclude the vote in Florida Michigan. She didn't agree to that except in two thousand and seven when she did agree to it, but that was before she needed the votes.

I couldn't help but feel for them.

I am proired of being called a racist just because I do disagree with them.

Oh, you didn't vote for my candidate.

Therefore your racist give me a break, that's lazy, give me a better one.

So what explains what happened in the primary?

The media created a dialogue that was truly sexist.

Center Clinton, her gender was always made to be the main issue at hand.

Clearly these people needed healing. I spoke with child psychologist Wendy Ludlow.

That's cheating.

Sometimes children just aren't group reddit. They need a little individual support.

To develop their pro social skills and behaviors.

I found suffering Clinton supporters who were only too happy to be helped and brought them to the celestial Seasonings post primary human center And who have Dan who's doing a picture of what the is that?

Then the man is still the elections?

The man still in the election. Do you feel less angry than you were this morning?

No?

Well, use play therapy techniques to help kids develop coping falls, such as I can keep my hands to myself, then.

I feel mad.

I stop my feet when I get upset and shake my fists in the air, and then I feel better and I stop acting like such a bitch. Okay, I don't like using the naughty corner for kids.

Okay, girls, this is the naughty horn.

That's rights. I don't be a Jones, that's not He's not way agree.

We're gonna come on.

Some play therapists do use animals in their play.

That can be a great way to help.

People learn how to keep calm a terrible So go get him?

Get him?

How is it?

Can we get it?

Can we hear it again? She could up?

Moscow must go. Yes with the plumper approach. Party unity is with Leach.

Pennsylvania Democrats passed a new law, but not some foreign policy. They cooked up a loophole to push last call to four a m. After everybody go just to B and C delegates.

Good times beers.

Yeah, twice as much privilege, Yes, double up on the privilege. All right, what about the people who can't get in? I have to stop drinking that too. Come on three and these Democrats getting told up till four in the morning, and we were getting stuff done. According to my main man, Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey, you do.

A lot of networking. For example, someone just brought me this beer and I'm in a network with that. First. Okay, let's roll play.

You be you not be another senator. I want to be a Republican from Alaska because there ain't no black people. Everybody would vote for me. Okay, all right, so show me how networking happens in these you starting, Hey, Joe.

Joe, I really love Alaska, bro, and I love you too.

Vote for my meal.

I'm from Alaska.

Okay, cool, it's a good networking with your good time. Yes, this exemption is hip the critical as hell man, but I discovered you can't keep the good people of Philly down. I always drink past you though. I just drink. I don't worry about the laws. I understand. I'm gonna be drunk as hell, Bro, I'm gonna be drinking right over there a garage until that time. You're drinking a garage. Yeah, in a garage. You politicians have your loopholes. The people of Philly have, even if it is in a creepy ass garage.

Thank you so much, or I thank you so much.

Now now, Ronnie Shang, it's his first time in Philly, and he also took to the streets after I asked him to investigate the scene in Philadelphia.

Yeah, you did send me to investigate, Trevor, but it was ninety nine degrees out and after ten minutes, don't you can?

I wanted to investigate. Was a cold drink?

Can I get some ice water?

Please?

We saw water ice, ice water water ice. No, you don't get it. I want ice water.

Well, there's a store for that.

Yeah.

Why do you have a sign that says ice water?

Because it's a Philly thing.

It's frozen dessert.

It's water ice.

Listen, buddy, we can call it addicting a teacup.

If you want to what flavor do you want?

Lemon cherry chop with a pineapple.

It's not hard, it's fourth flavors.

Okay?

Can you give me cherry without the cherry.

I'm not a scientist.

I cannot take the flavor out of the water ice. You get it? How I give it?

Thank you?

Well, it's a problem.

Man. You're way out of your league here.

But we're gonna do about it. Man, try it and you might like it.

Tib I don't like I will come back and kick.

Let's go, buddy, I'm always ready. That's actually really good.

Thank you.

Family Wrestling nineteen forty five.

I get like a large show. Thanks a lot, man, have a good day.

Yeah, thank you.

I was at the Pepsi Center to Whitney's history just outside the security perimeter and next to the Jamberdoo stand you ready to heal?

Really?

I want to watch this.

Can you back home?

Let's just heal together. Are you ready to heal? Are you ready to heal? Are you ready to heal? Are we gonna heal? Come on or I don't move? Are you gonna heal?

For Rock?

Obama and Joe fin God bless you and God see Hillary supporters, did you heal tonight? Just forty five minutes ago? These people couldn't walk.

We heal, we heal.

They said he couldn't do it, but he might have done it. Pending tomorrow's press narrative. The speech was amazing. It brought people together.

How do you feel? Not great? Actually?

What are you talking about? What are you talking about?

I don't think we can use a band aid to cover this wound at this point.

Let me get this strike. You don't think we've healed.

I don't think we've healed.

I think if you look at a circumstance like what happened in Nevada where Hillary Clinton won the stage, and that's not the kind of you know, the politics that any real politics, knew politics.

Anything that anybody should condone. Are you all right?

You're gonna be saying.

Why do we have to fight?

Oh?

Let this be it?

Oh Hillary? Is no one gonna help me up? Like hopeful Cattles, I spill out into the night on what into a bright future and the inevitable defeat in November.

There's one key message at the Democratic Convention that's just not in dispute.

We are the Big ten party. We represent everyone.

We're definitely the arms wide open party. We have a party of inclusion.

We have just about everybody you can possibly imagine in the party.

Yes, they were open to everybody.

Basically, we're Latinos, Hispanics, we're blacks, we're the LGBT community where women.

We're pars. Everyone's welcome.

Ever, everyone's welcome except except unless you own a corporation or if you're a hunter, a gun owner, white males.

Really all there.

Are a bunch of gun tote and hillbilly tea partiers, That's all I have to say. Bang bang bang bang bang right, a bunch of turcos right definitely, how open are you well?

Open enough to include everybody?

Oh?

Really, who wouldn't you include We.

Wouldn't include those beer totin fakers down in the Florida the Tampa convention guys, you know the types, hot belly and church going, small minded, anti science.

Nine to seventy sam hail belly.

Whack job, evangelical, gun nuts.

They don't want to hear a message of difference and of hope.

What can you and I teach these whack jobs about inclusion?

You go first. You can't teach them anything.

Don't have a clue about science, Very questionable on any kind of thought that involves more than two or three sentences.

We are the Big ten party and we will let most anybody in, unless, of course they're carrying guns.

Right, Who needs that?

One hundred and forty six million people.

In your party?

The Democratic Party, we don't stereotype.

We don't generalize.

The Teabagger is generalized because they have very narrow minded people.

Right.

This has been historically the party of tolerance.

The teapeag yours are the least tolerant group I've ever seen, and they're destroying us.

Can you say that more dismissively?

Ugh?

How's that?

I've always called them Nazis and evil even before it was appropriate.

Actually, these Christian evangelicals don't get it because I don't believe they ever actually.

Read the Bible. I have a feeling they have read it well, possibly but didn't.

No more than possibly.

This is so inclusive.

You know, we even invite that redneck freaks in.

We don't judge. What don't they get about the tolerance? I would never call a redneck and name.

I don't know.

I'm thinking like a couple of teeth, you know, hair out of place, maybe a nice gut, okay, like, yeah.

We're gonna go now, tamer if we don't to.

Throw me party, I don't put on the clean t shir and maerage my let go po po do.

It so.

None the world would be very beautiful if we could just accept everybody's.

Differences exactly, accept everyone's differences. M h, everyone's differences. Yes, we need to accept everyone.

You mean I should accept them?

Is that what you're saying?

The conventions are in full swing and the race is on to see who's going to win the news war. If we have the best political team on television to.

Hear the best political coverage anywhere.

The best political team in the business, maybe the twenty four hour snooze networks haven't heard.

That the DS was in town the time to introduce these clupls to the new Alpha.

What do you look forward to not accomplishing this year in Congress?

What kind of question that.

If you saw a fellow delegate littering or doing something that was not very green.

How would you handle it?

Well? I would stop them and ask them to.

That sounds like a democrat to me. Yeah, demonstration demo.

I don't feel like recycling this.

This week's Democratic Convention became the center of the media universe, a universe ruled by television. Is there anything that you would like to say to our audience of infidels, Uh.

Who do you have to to get in here? Tons of people?

But there were other forms of media too, like newspapers.

Kelly's a pretty good comic. Oh yeah, yeah, fun days are terrible thing. I get a kick down. It's good, it's good, it's good. I hang it up on my cube.

And then there's radio.

Liberal media to me is the New York Times, in the Washington Post and the ABC. Those guys might as well be wearing a dress.

Yeah, exactly.

When you were a kid, Did you always want to be a radio talk show host?

You know?
