Josh Johnson covers updates on the situation in Iran: Al Roker forecasts "haboobs" developing in the Middle East, Tehran defiantly refuses a ceasefire agreement, and Trump declares the war over and "won" while Pete Hegseth's loosened enlistment requirements say otherwise. Desi Lydic highlights the politicians striking out on social media in both short-form and long-form as they try to garner Gen Z's attention ahead of the midterms. From short cringey TikToks to long cringey podcasts, Desi is begging politicians to connect with young people by talking like actual human beings. Comedian, writer, and host of "Mornings with Mero", Joel Martinez aka "The Kid Mero" joins Josh to discuss making radio sound like New York again. They talk about evolving from a lifelong listener of HOT 97 to their newest host, connecting to listeners who call with open confessions, advocating for unhoused youth with Covenant House, and Joel shows Josh how to tie his Timberlands the "New York way".

The Daily Show Show Summary

Forget the 24 hour biased left wing news media, the best fake news show in the world will provide you with all the news you can handle.

If you're tired of the stodginess of the evening newscasts, if you can't bear to sit through the spinmeisters and shills on the 24-hour cable news networks, don't miss The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, a nightly half-hour series unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity, or even accuracy. The Emmy and Peabody Award-winning Daily Show takes a reality-based look at news, trends, pop culture, current events, politics, sports and entertainment with an alternative point of view.

In each show anchorman Trevor Noah and a team of correspondents comment on the day's stories, employing actual news footage, taped field pieces, in-studio guests and on-the-spot coverage of important news events and finally interviews with guest celebrities and political figures.
