TDS Time Machine | America 250

Happy Birthday, America! Ring in the Fourth of July with The Daily Show's coverage of the weirdest party the USA has ever thrown itself, as Donald Trump turns America’s upcoming 250th birthday into a self-glorifying spectacle. Nick Offerman jokes about Trump-branded currency, coins, park passes, and a proposed “Arc de Trump.” Jordan Klepper attends the UFC fight spectacle held on the White House lawn on Donald Trump's birthday. Jon Stewart catches up on the calamitous planning of the Great American State Fair, and the fallout as musicians cancel en mass. Troy Iwata asks Americans what to put in a mandated national time capsule. Ronny Chieng introduces a biography of the one thing all Americans can still get behind: the 1992 US Olympic men's basketball Dream Team. And Jon, still in the afterglow of the Knicks big win, contrasts Trump’s gaudy “arch” and UFC spectacle with Americans’ unmet desire for healthcare and genuine community. -- CarShield is offering our listeners 20% off with the code TDS at https://CarShield.com/TDS -- Head to https://Superpower.com and use code TDS at checkout for $20 off your membership.
