Trump Hits 100 Days & Canada Celebrates By Electing the Anti-Trump | Katherine Maher

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

On Trump’s official second 100th day in office, Jordan Klepper delves into his lack of follow-through, including the division he’s sown, his back-and-forth on tariffs and firings, and taunting Canada until they elected a liberal prime minister.

Trump let Elon Musk take a chainsaw to the federal workforce in order to save taxpayers money, but after hearing from some of the government employees who lost their jobs, Desi Lydic is starting to think the real waste, fraud, and abuse was living inside DOGE this whole time.

NPR CEO Katherine Maher joins Jordan Klepper to stress the important functions of public media that are under threat from the Trump administration, especially educational children’s programming and local reporting in rural areas where public radio is often the only source for local news. She also defends NPR’s journalism against critics who claim it is liberally biased, while extending an invitation for more conservative voices to express their perspectives on NPR, and emphasizes that the mandate of public media is to serve the whole population of the U.S., which includes diverse and underserved communities.
