Chapter 1: What are the controversies surrounding Pete Hegseth?
Yeah!
welcome to the daily show i'm ronnie chang we got so much to talk about tonight south korean sample martial law and say no thanks lewis black tells you how to survive the next four years and pete hegseth is on day three of his news bender so let's get into another edition of trump 2.0 coming for the white house i'm gonna come
Donald Trump is still constructing his next administration, but he seems to be doing it the same way that that billionaire built that Titanic submarine, because it's imploding immediately.
Pick in peril. Pete Hegseth back on the Hill with his bid for defense secretary in doubt.
Will another Trump nominee be forced out? A growing number of senators have signaled they are not behind Trump's defense secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth. Who is the president-elect considering to replace him?
Will Pete Hegseth's nomination survive the day? It's a real question.
Wow, this would be very sobering news for Pete Hegseth if he wasn't shit-faced right now. I mean... If HEGSF doesn't get confirmed, this is really going to make people question Trump's strategy of giving the most unemployable people on Earth the hardest jobs that ever existed. And honestly, I kind of feel bad for this guy. I mean, he had it made.
A cushy job on Fox News, a side hustle selling macho garbage on right-wing Instagram, a loving third family, and then... Trump comes along and offers him a job, and now his life is kind of up. I mean, who could have seen that coming other than Matt Gaetz, Mike Pence, Rudy Giuliani, Michael Cohen, and everyone else Trump has ever come into contact with? Hey, anyone heard from Herman Cain lately?
He's dead. Google it. And maybe one of the reasons why Pete Hegseth can't seem to extinguish this dumpster fire of his nomination is because more people keep throwing garbage into the dumpster.

Chapter 2: How does South Korea's political turmoil affect its citizens?
Josh, that's North Korea, okay? You're in South Korea. It's a different country.
Damn, Ronnie. The Asian guy seems to know a lot about Asia. Yeah. I guess I'm racist and right.
God damn it, forget it. Josh Johnson, everybody. When we come back, Louis Black will help you deal with the election, so don't go away. Welcome back to The Daily Show. When a news story falls through the cracks, Lewis Black catches it for a segment we call Back in Black.
It's already been a month since the election. I guess time flies when I'm not ripping out what's left of my pubes. Since Trump's victory, half the country is excited and the other half is still at home in the fetal position. Me, I'm coping by shutting off the news for a while and watching something a little cozier, like who killed JonBenet Ramsey. Baby, it's cold outside, and so is this case.
But for those Democrats able to leave the House, this is what they're doing.
An art installation on the walls of a 14th Street subway stop is encouraging people to put their thoughts on post-it notes. It invites everyone to leave their feelings about this week's presidential election.
Things like, I'm so scared, but I love this life more than I fear darkness.
What the f*** is this? Call me old-fashioned, but if you have a breakdown on the subway, you're supposed to jump in front of it. Subway walls are for only two things. Mysterious piss stains and ads for Shen Yun. Sure, it's a cult, but those concubines sure can boogie. And who are these people writing their deepest feelings on a train platform?
The only subway thoughts I have are, is that guy shitting? And why am I being stabbed? In that order. But if writing postage is a little too subtle, you can react to the election loss the American way, violence.
