Jordan Klepper is joined by Supervising Producer, Ian Berger, and Segment Director, Zach Golden, to take us behind the scenes of Donald Trump’s Criminal hush money trial in New York. They discuss how they prepared for this shoot given Trump’s promise of ‘all hell [breaking] loose’ and how they pivoted when they found there was actually more media than MAGA supporters. Plus, Klepper and team talk about running into Andrew Giuliani and the one MAGA supporter who was not just proud of her January 6th attendance, but plugged her appearance on America’s Most Wanted.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Hello, and welcome to The Daily Show Ears edition. This
is Ian Berger. I'm a supervising producer at the Daily Show.
Today I'm joined by Daily Show segment director Zach Golden. Zach,
how are you hey?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I'm good, happy to be here.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
We're also joined by Daily Show contributor Jordan Klepper. Jordan,
how's it going?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Hey? Everybody, glad to be here.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Earlier this week we were downtown. It was interesting as always, Jordan,
this was another Trump trial day for you. How did
this day compare to previous segment?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
When we filmed on Monday, it felt like deja vu.
We'd gone down to the earlier indictment hearing where Trump
first appeared downtown. We didn't know what we were going
to get, and frankly, we got more of the same.
This was, uh, you know, this was we joked, this
(01:01):
was the d listers who came out out to support
Donald Trump. And I fully will wear the hat of
a dlister who came out to see what was going
on that day. It seemed like it was a small
crowd of boy numbers wise, where people were really supportive
of Donald Trump. I'm talking maybe in the twenties low twenties.
You had hundreds of media there watching the spectacle around that,
(01:22):
and you're the people who were drawn to whatever the
scene was. There was some waves of anti Trump protesters
as well, but I think we saw a lot of
familiar faces. We saw some people we expected to be there,
and above always saw people who wanted attention and realized
this was the place to go get it.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I would like to point out we even interviewed the
same guy that we interviewed before, and we kind of
forgot about this because you do so many and we
do so many, so sometimes I'm like, people seem familiar
and then they're not. But we actually a guy with
the scarf is someone we actually interviewed previously down outside
the courthouse. So I don't know if he exists out
(02:00):
side of that park, if he has a life outside
of that, but so far we're two for two with him.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I think people the ecosystem around the MAGA universe is
a fascinating one, and there's many podcasts that we've smoken
on and can speak too about the ones that exist
in rural America when we go out on the road,
but the ones that happened here in New York, based
around New York events, specifically based around the trial is
(02:26):
super hyper specific. You have a handful of Long Island
folks who are Long Island Republicans, who tend to wear
shirts that talk about what was it not Long Island strong?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
What is their shirts? Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
The silent majority? They were silent majority shirts. We talked
to one guy who makes Maga hammocks. We've seen him
multiple places, including at Sea Pack. You had Laura Lumer,
who is a far right maga celebrity. Maybe that's too
strong a term, but she's a personality and the far right.
She saw an opportunity. Last time we were here, George
(03:00):
Santos saw an opportunity. Marjorie Taylor Green saw an opportunity
to show up, get all the cameras on them, and
make a big show of it for Donald Trump. This time,
they didn't have the time or the frequent flyer miles
to get here, so Laura Lumer decided to come on in,
get the pictures taken, get the cameras pointed at her,
and get a retweet by Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
So I think that was a big win for her.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
You start to see this, You're like, okay, here are
the people who see this as an opportunity less as
an opportunity to show fealty to Donald Trump and more
an opportunity to get attention for showing fealty to Donald
Trump and or ten thousand more Twitter or ex subscribers.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, exactly, Zach. So before the day Trump putend a
message out about all hell breaking loose?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Trump said, all hell is going to break loose? Are
you gonna go ape shit today?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I'm not gonna go ape shit today? Are you ready
to go ape shit today?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I want to see how it plays out.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
But you're gonna slow walk the ape shit, right, slow
walk it.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Trump supporters are calm, peaceful protesters.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Yes, they would never rush into a federal building and
try to disrupt her seedings.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Donald Trump, we never advocate for that. I'll tide that
January sixth.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Then, can you tell you, audius, a little bit of
how we prepared for that, what you expected to see
off of that message?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:13):
So, you know, I think that was sent out in
a fundraising email like three or four days before the
trial was set to take place, And for us, it
was an immediate sort of like you could get so
used to Trump's dangerous rhetoric that you can sort of
become numb to it, but when it is coalescing around
(04:33):
like specific events, you do need to take that more seriously.
So we wanted to approach this like it was going
to be hell breaking loose and see if that was
a reality or not a reality on the ground. So, yeah,
we prepped a whole you know, we prepped a whole
bunch of jokes. We have prepped a whole bunch of
questions sort of and you can see some of them
(04:54):
in the piece, like you know where your pitchforks, et cetera.
And then when we got there, it was it just
was I mean, you know, and the thing that I
think is most striking is like, not only was it not,
but the people that were there would never right, they
would never do anything like that.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Except for the amount of people we met who were
at January sixth. I think they even cut someone out.
This guy had a little Santa vibe going. Jordan was like,
were you at January sixth? And then he thought and
thought and thought and didn't have an answer, and then
he was like, I think I was home watching TV. Yeah,
like I'm not airtight, Albi.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
You can admit it nata like they're not coming after
you from a piece on our show, Like you're not
going to get indicted.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I don't know, man, these people had caught a lot
of weird ways. I think maybe they're learning their lesson.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I mean, it is remarkable still the disconnect between Donald
Trump and his rhetoric around January sixth and again, Donald
Trump has always played in a hyperbole and a Donald
Trump speech is full of every point of view known
to man, which I think is a defense mechanism. He
will ask you to be there.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It will be wild.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
He will get up there on January sixth and talking
about fighting like hell. He will also spew stuff about peace.
He will also degrade people. He will say all the
things you could possibly say, therefore giving him, essentially, if
not a free pass, something for his folks to point
to to be like he was talking about a peaceful
speech was like Donald Trump was trying to incite a
mob and he said.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
All of these different words.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
You're pointing to the words that said peace, but the
actions of the day and the tone of the day
pointed towards mob mentality. And yet we go to a
place like we were at Monday. People are not only
divorcing himself from the reality of what happened on January six,
but also of like the culpability of Donald Trump and
his words. And so yet again we're in the same
(06:47):
conversation of be there be wild and now hell breaking loose,
like is he just fomenting anger and violence? And frankly,
what should be clarified is they didn't show up. If
that was a call all to the MAGA faithful to
come out and hell is breaking loose because you're so
upset like that might be happening on internet but in
(07:07):
the but in the real world, this is just a
bunch of people trying to get aira. No, it's not
a bunch of people trying to fight for Donald Trump.
Their fight is not your fight, at least in Lower Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Curarently not Lower Manhatten.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
No, certainly not there. But you never know, because he's
got a bunch of days. He's kind of doing a
residency at that courthouse. So you know, maybe maybe they're
showing up in week two or three working material.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
I get that, Let's see, let's let's see what sticks,
what resonates, and maybe the maybe the songs are flinger
and has.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Some special guests to get the ticket sales up later on.
I think, I mean, Stormy'll be there, there will be
special guests. Michael Cohen. Yeah, it's interesting they haven't been
showing up to the New York events. But in terms
of like how how that represents his you know, support.
A few days ago, we were just in Pennsylvania and
it was like as fired up and crowded as ever,
(07:58):
and that was in rural Pennsylvania. I wonder if some
of his crowd think, like the lies about New York
being a hell kind of impact their you know, the
numbers showing up here. They're like, I can't go to
New York. I'll get mugged.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I think there was a joke that we cut that
was like, if all hell is bringing loose in New
York City, how do you even know? Because it's already
like full of carnage, right, Like, how would you even
tell the difference?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Well, the irony too, you know, the narrative is that
he can't get a fair trial here, that nobody in
New York likes Donald Trump. Okay, if that's your narrative,
stick with it. Donald Trump after the trial went to
Harlem and they reposted nothing but videos from their perspective
of him being beloved, people cheering, they love Trump. Here,
the narrative is wrong. He is he has adored when
(08:45):
he goes out in New York. I think again, take
the clip you want, make the narrative you want. But
if you're going to push the narrative that he can't
get a fair trial because nobody likes him in New York,
and yet you then go to a place in New
York and are bragging about how much people like you,
It's like, this is pick a lane, you guys.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Among the many great characters we talked to, there was
also a woman who had the most smoker's voice, maybe
in human history. I don't know if you remember who
I'm talking about, Zach. She told her she made an
appearance on another television show, America's Most Wanted.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Mm hmmmm hmm.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
She also had to wouldn't grant us the interview until
she finished her finished smoking her cigarette on the park bench,
which is just you know, listen, I'm glad that she
took the time she needed to mentally.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Prepare to go off.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
It is today, the January sixth of April fifteenth, No, no,
what January.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I was there January was six. Yes, I was there.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Where were you inside the rotunda? Are you in the office?
Were you holding a podium?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Where were you?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
It was breached before we even got there.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Because is that why you're here early today? Just to
make sure you get that first wave?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Well I have done pretty Go back and watch America's
most want it.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I made a grand the parents stand.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
When somebody's that we got what we to star, God bless,
I'll set my team up.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
She had that sassy grandma vibe or like or like
our sassy, sassy aunt who's got some stories, who like
you give a couple of gen and tonics to her
and hang out at the end of a party and
let her go like she had and also one of
those who you interview and you're like, wow, she had
a lot of opinions and she just wanted to chat.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
And then you get back into the edit after.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
You've relaxed and exhaled, and you watch her interview and
fall in love with her all over.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah. I mean truly, we used her a bunch of
the piece, and our first cut we had twice as
much stuff, and it was all funny and entertaining, but
at some point you're like we can't just lean too
heavily into one person. But there was an edit, like
an early cut of this piece that had even more
of her gold.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, she was truly remarkable, and and that's the kind
of person that you hope for at at every at
every event, and you don't hope for at every Thanksgiving.
You know, it's like, that's that's the person.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I feel like she went and she finished her because
she was merely like warming up her instrument, or she
came out to do the interview, which is her like
New Yorker Smoker's voice.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
I think if Trump was watching, I think we got
a communications director right here and there.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
She she is the She is.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
The kind of person who I want much like the
Menthol filter she had in her cigarette, I would like
her to filter the news of the White House and
deliver it to us on a daily basis if he
gets that job once.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Again, if she was, I feel like she could run
for city council somewhere and it could work.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Oh for sure.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
And something she also I don't think this made the
piece either, but she said that on January six, she
was sitting outside like somebody brought a chair for her,
and she was just like sitting outside and watching, just
like sitting outside chain smoking cigarettes, being like, yeah, this
is what America, this is what America.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Is for smoking section.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
You guys, take it easy. We know your lungs are
going to catch you up this hill.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
In the conversations we have with people on January sixth,
they no longer make our pieces anymore because the narrative
has been told over and over again. But the counter
narrative of how peaceful and meditative January sixth was to
the people who are talking about the violence of January sixth,
like we are a few years away from it in
far right circles being seen as almost like a zen
(12:22):
resort that you can go to the way people talk
about like oh, I was sitting in chairs, we were
watching it was a beautiful day, like Viperberly, it'll be
in the peacefulness is through the roof, right.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
It will be, it'll be. It'll be the vernacular like
what was it like? Were they fired up?
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Not?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Now?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
It was all January sixth vibes. Man, you couldn't get
the crowd going super chill? Yeah yeah, no, yeah, yeah,
she's wonderful. All right, Hold that thought. We have to
take a quick break. The last court appearance. We had
some stars that you mentioned, like George Santos, Marjorie Taylor
(12:59):
Green this there was Andrew Giuliani, Rudy Giuliani son who
recently ran from governor of New York.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Well, there was more press than there were MAGA supporters.
I did run into one January sixth B List star,
Rudy Giuliani's son.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah. I was in Washington, DC on January sixth as well.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I was with President Trump. Sure, I remember him talking
about peacefully protesting. Some people were talking about peaceful protests.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Some people also on January sixth, were talking about trial
by combat.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Let's have trial by combat. Do you know anybody who
was talking about that? Oh? You know, look, I would
say the peaceful protest is the most important thing. No
trial by combat, tests, no trial by combat. Do you
guys even care what's going on inside the courtroom or not?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
What was that like Jordan talking to Andrew?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Oh exciting, Yeah, it's so exciting. You know, this is
why you do it.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
You know, you get a chance to rub elbows with
the hoy POLOI and Andrew Giuliani.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I mean again, we were we saw he was he
was going around.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Trying to talk to media, trying to alle himself with
Donald Trump, supporting Donald Trump, and so it was an
opportunity for us to discuss.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
With him won his allegiance.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
And whether or not he was on board with this
narrative of this being a peaceful event, which, to be fair,
it was a fairly peaceful event, but it being the
rhetoric leading to potentially a dangerous event, and comparing that
to what happened on January sixth, and specifically comparing that
to what his father said on January sixth, she weirdly
forgot them that he seemed to have forgotten I appeared.
(14:32):
It's shocking because it seemed pretty public and it was
in the news. So I don't know, maybe if somebody
give him a link or something.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
I mean, who hasn't memory hold their father in citing
a riot?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Right, here's a picture of your dad at four Seasons landscape, ping,
do you remember this guy? This is another picture of
him with his hair dye bleeding down his temples? Is
this the guy you're forgetting? Zach? How do you think
Andrew felt about the interview when it was wrapping up.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
So the end of the interview, which which didn't air,
was definitely the most bizarre part because he was just
getting like all of his machismo bullshit energy was coming
out when he realized that Jordan had got him with
the trial by combat thing, and it was just so
(15:20):
like just so bizarre, just like devolving into these weird
like power dynamic of Okay, yeah, you're very funny, very
you know, just just exactly what you would expect, like
him just completely losing it. And it ended in this
this very weird handshake that lasted a really long time,
right Jordan.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
That seemed to last like way too long.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
It was one of those bro handshakes of like, you
know what I'm doing with this handshake?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Bro? Right? Bro?
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Right, bro a lot of bro. I'm like a lot
of a lot of bro. Even if it wasn't verbalized,
it was I felt a bro.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Handshake in there. And I'm very uncomfortable in those situations.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Do you feel my college golf strength coming through? That's right,
college golf, baby, That's what I did. I was an
athlete college golf.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
It's just so interesting that he would even, you know,
I always find it so interesting that the people they
have the hubris to think that, like you know, im, Yeah,
I'm gonna talk to this guy who's like very well
known for pointing out hypocrisy in public figures like me.
But like, no, that would you know, that's that would happen.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I'm ready. It's like he went into the interview without
having any idea what we're gonna talk about. He's like,
let's go, let's go, let's do it.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
It's it's all peacocking. That entire event is just peacocking
everyone who shows up. Juliani's there, He's strutting around peacocking,
trying to show up to Donald Trump, Laura Lumer is
trying to do that. Even the wild, wild guy with
a huge flag, He is there peacocking.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Nobody wants to talk about anything or.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
If you people are there just because they have what
feels like an earnest gripe. It feels like an earnest
opportunity for so many people, and that's what we what
we found with Juliani.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah no that I mean, it's interesting that he showed
up because you haven't heard from him in a while.
But I guess if you're that figure in New York,
this is your opportunity. I don't think he'll be showing
up again for a while. But here was his shot.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
There was there was a there was a guy emblematic
of it all. Okay, this is this is not a
ton of people there. But I remember as we were leaving,
a guy came in with his Trump paraphernalia and he
was meeting his body. They had a big hug at
the entrance and overheard him saying, Okay, let's let let's
go out. Let's go, let's let's go get in there.
I see a lot of cameras. Let's go talk to
the people, talk to the cameras. And I was like, oh, yeah,
(17:29):
that's the mentality of all of those folks walking in.
It's just like, oh oh okay, okay, cool, cool, let's
let's get there, let's get that attention. And and some people,
I think see that as a righteous crusade to be
the mouthpiece of a movement they believe in. Okay, but
I think a lot of people are just there like,
here's where the cameras are. I have the hat on,
I have the show, let's let's let's dance.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
It's interesting because I read something that was talking about
day two about how there was really only one supporter there,
which is very funny and said it's hard to make
TV out of things not happening, so we don't automate
go and do that. But I would be very curious
to talk to that one supporter and be like, what's
it like, what are your plans for the day? What
do you have in store for day three? But thinking
(18:09):
about that, how do you see I guess, like, do
you see a crowd coming back to this trial? I
wonder if it's like later on, if things are looking bad, Jordan,
what do you think is going to happen?
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I don't think Trump is going to get a big
response here in New York City, and I think he
will bring he will articulate that as this being a
biased liberal town.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
But I also think at its core it's bullshit.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
This I'm doing this for you, I'm fighting for you
as a way to get a rise and way to
get people to cheer at a rally, But deep down
he's not doing it for you. This case, the farther
away we get this case is about him having sex
with Stormy Daniels him then during an election months before,
like what a month before the election, paying for Stormy Daniels.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Not to talk about the sex they had.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Now that's Trump's thing, and ain't the rest of America's things,
and him trying to connect that to your struggles. People
who have to work nine to five, people would have
to take time off of work, they would have to
figure out what to do with their childcare to come
on down and support and yell on your behalf. Like, No,
the people who are doing that are people who see
it as a job opportunity, not people who see it
(19:22):
as a righteous quest. And so I think there's a
faulty premise in Donald Trump trying to play a heroic
victim for the rest of America. And I think you
see that in the numbers of the people who are attended.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Yeah, it doesn't seem like his logic, like it'll track
with the most fervent supporters, but you know, for your average,
not as engaged civilian in America, like that logic just
doesn't track if you know anything about the trials whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Also, there these are shows.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
We go to these rallies, and a lot of people
go to the rallies because they're fun. They wait in
line for tw hours because they want to get inside.
They want to hang out with their pals, and they
want to cheer for Donald Trump when he comes on out.
You don't get to see Donald Trump when you come
to downtown New York. It's a legal proceeding that's happened
inside a building that you're gonna have no access to
if you're there because you want to see Donald Trump
(20:16):
cheer him on and you want the freakin show. It's
almost like showing up and being like, well, no, you
can't get into the arena, but they're broadcasting elements of
the big game next door in a separate arena. And yeah,
maybe some people want to be on the periphery there,
but mostly the folks there to tailgate and party, they
want to ticket to the show, and there isn't a show.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Going to a stadium and watching the game on the
big screen that's being played somewhere else is never a
good look in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
That just seems a little desperate.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
But that's not even that. It's like going to a
stadium then being like, we're gonna stream this event to
your phone, right and you're not even gonna watch it
as a community. You're gonna watch it on your phone.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Let's all get updated on Twitter together.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, we haven't been to one of these in another state.
I'm very curious about what it will be like in
Georgia in Florida when those things are happening. I'm very curious.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
I am very curious to see if it's if it's
a similar situation, Uh, if we go down to Atlanta,
and if people are are absent or if they find
this as a crusade that they want to travel for.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
The good news is, we're gonna have so many opportunities. Guys.
This is the good news. And don't let it sink in.
Don't think too much about it because you'll get depressed.
But the good news is we have a lot of
opportunity to make this kind of TV. This is thank
you President Trump for allegedly committing so many crimes. You've
given us a lot of material and and like a
very busy calendar. So I mean, think about our you know,
(21:40):
our lives. We are maybe we're the victims here, you
know what this is?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Yeah, I think I think I think that's a victim narrative.
People can rally around Ian. Thank you, Jordan.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
You should tell the audience you're doing this for them
the way Trump does.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
You know, look, I'm a I'm a self centered comedian,
and even I know that's a bridged far.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Well, I'm doing it for them and travel points, so
that's also for me.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
That's where I do feel like, you know who really
hurts on this is uh is you and the lack
of travel points you're getting. I think what really is
suffering is the buffet bar at the Delta Priority loud.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Like, oh great, the Manadan courthouse. I've done jury duty here, fantastic.
I went to high school five blocks from here. This
is not exciting to me. Okay, we gotta do better.
Trump get arrested in more interesting places.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Thank you. I know, I love it.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Yeah, come on, get arrested in Charleston or a Hawaii arrest.
I don't just something something to really really give us
something that Vegas baby.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I feel like Vegas would be very hard for him
to get arrest They'd be like, yeah, that's what we do.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
It's promost We have advertisements for this in the airport.
Speaker 3 (22:53):

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Hello, and welcome to The Daily Show Ears edition. This
is Ian Berger. I'm a supervising producer at the Daily Show.
Today I'm joined by Daily Show segment director Zach Golden. Zach,
how are you hey?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I'm good, happy to be here.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
We're also joined by Daily Show contributor Jordan Klepper. Jordan,
how's it going?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Hey? Everybody, glad to be here.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Earlier this week we were downtown. It was interesting as always, Jordan,
this was another Trump trial day for you. How did
this day compare to previous segment?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
When we filmed on Monday, it felt like deja vu.
We'd gone down to the earlier indictment hearing where Trump
first appeared downtown. We didn't know what we were going
to get, and frankly, we got more of the same.
This was, uh, you know, this was we joked, this
(01:01):
was the d listers who came out out to support
Donald Trump. And I fully will wear the hat of
a dlister who came out to see what was going
on that day. It seemed like it was a small
crowd of boy numbers wise, where people were really supportive
of Donald Trump. I'm talking maybe in the twenties low twenties.
You had hundreds of media there watching the spectacle around that,
(01:22):
and you're the people who were drawn to whatever the
scene was. There was some waves of anti Trump protesters
as well, but I think we saw a lot of
familiar faces. We saw some people we expected to be there,
and above always saw people who wanted attention and realized
this was the place to go get it.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I would like to point out we even interviewed the
same guy that we interviewed before, and we kind of
forgot about this because you do so many and we
do so many, so sometimes I'm like, people seem familiar
and then they're not. But we actually a guy with
the scarf is someone we actually interviewed previously down outside
the courthouse. So I don't know if he exists out
(02:00):
side of that park, if he has a life outside
of that, but so far we're two for two with him.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I think people the ecosystem around the MAGA universe is
a fascinating one, and there's many podcasts that we've smoken
on and can speak too about the ones that exist
in rural America when we go out on the road,
but the ones that happened here in New York, based
around New York events, specifically based around the trial is
(02:26):
super hyper specific. You have a handful of Long Island
folks who are Long Island Republicans, who tend to wear
shirts that talk about what was it not Long Island strong?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
What is their shirts? Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
The silent majority? They were silent majority shirts. We talked
to one guy who makes Maga hammocks. We've seen him
multiple places, including at Sea Pack. You had Laura Lumer,
who is a far right maga celebrity. Maybe that's too
strong a term, but she's a personality and the far right.
She saw an opportunity. Last time we were here, George
(03:00):
Santos saw an opportunity. Marjorie Taylor Green saw an opportunity
to show up, get all the cameras on them, and
make a big show of it for Donald Trump. This time,
they didn't have the time or the frequent flyer miles
to get here, so Laura Lumer decided to come on in,
get the pictures taken, get the cameras pointed at her,
and get a retweet by Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
So I think that was a big win for her.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
You start to see this, You're like, okay, here are
the people who see this as an opportunity less as
an opportunity to show fealty to Donald Trump and more
an opportunity to get attention for showing fealty to Donald
Trump and or ten thousand more Twitter or ex subscribers.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, exactly, Zach. So before the day Trump putend a
message out about all hell breaking loose?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Trump said, all hell is going to break loose? Are
you gonna go ape shit today?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I'm not gonna go ape shit today? Are you ready
to go ape shit today?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I want to see how it plays out.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
But you're gonna slow walk the ape shit, right, slow
walk it.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Trump supporters are calm, peaceful protesters.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Yes, they would never rush into a federal building and
try to disrupt her seedings.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Donald Trump, we never advocate for that. I'll tide that
January sixth.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Then, can you tell you, audius, a little bit of
how we prepared for that, what you expected to see
off of that message?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:13):
So, you know, I think that was sent out in
a fundraising email like three or four days before the
trial was set to take place, And for us, it
was an immediate sort of like you could get so
used to Trump's dangerous rhetoric that you can sort of
become numb to it, but when it is coalescing around
(04:33):
like specific events, you do need to take that more seriously.
So we wanted to approach this like it was going
to be hell breaking loose and see if that was
a reality or not a reality on the ground. So, yeah,
we prepped a whole you know, we prepped a whole
bunch of jokes. We have prepped a whole bunch of
questions sort of and you can see some of them
(04:54):
in the piece, like you know where your pitchforks, et cetera.
And then when we got there, it was it just
was I mean, you know, and the thing that I
think is most striking is like, not only was it not,
but the people that were there would never right, they
would never do anything like that.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Except for the amount of people we met who were
at January sixth. I think they even cut someone out.
This guy had a little Santa vibe going. Jordan was like,
were you at January sixth? And then he thought and
thought and thought and didn't have an answer, and then
he was like, I think I was home watching TV. Yeah,
like I'm not airtight, Albi.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
You can admit it nata like they're not coming after
you from a piece on our show, Like you're not
going to get indicted.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I don't know, man, these people had caught a lot
of weird ways. I think maybe they're learning their lesson.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I mean, it is remarkable still the disconnect between Donald
Trump and his rhetoric around January sixth and again, Donald
Trump has always played in a hyperbole and a Donald
Trump speech is full of every point of view known
to man, which I think is a defense mechanism. He
will ask you to be there.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It will be wild.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
He will get up there on January sixth and talking
about fighting like hell. He will also spew stuff about peace.
He will also degrade people. He will say all the
things you could possibly say, therefore giving him, essentially, if
not a free pass, something for his folks to point
to to be like he was talking about a peaceful
speech was like Donald Trump was trying to incite a
mob and he said.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
All of these different words.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
You're pointing to the words that said peace, but the
actions of the day and the tone of the day
pointed towards mob mentality. And yet we go to a
place like we were at Monday. People are not only
divorcing himself from the reality of what happened on January six,
but also of like the culpability of Donald Trump and
his words. And so yet again we're in the same
(06:47):
conversation of be there be wild and now hell breaking loose,
like is he just fomenting anger and violence? And frankly,
what should be clarified is they didn't show up. If
that was a call all to the MAGA faithful to
come out and hell is breaking loose because you're so
upset like that might be happening on internet but in
(07:07):
the but in the real world, this is just a
bunch of people trying to get aira. No, it's not
a bunch of people trying to fight for Donald Trump.
Their fight is not your fight, at least in Lower Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Curarently not Lower Manhatten.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
No, certainly not there. But you never know, because he's
got a bunch of days. He's kind of doing a
residency at that courthouse. So you know, maybe maybe they're
showing up in week two or three working material.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
I get that, Let's see, let's let's see what sticks,
what resonates, and maybe the maybe the songs are flinger
and has.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Some special guests to get the ticket sales up later on.
I think, I mean, Stormy'll be there, there will be
special guests. Michael Cohen. Yeah, it's interesting they haven't been
showing up to the New York events. But in terms
of like how how that represents his you know, support.
A few days ago, we were just in Pennsylvania and
it was like as fired up and crowded as ever,
(07:58):
and that was in rural Pennsylvania. I wonder if some
of his crowd think, like the lies about New York
being a hell kind of impact their you know, the
numbers showing up here. They're like, I can't go to
New York. I'll get mugged.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I think there was a joke that we cut that
was like, if all hell is bringing loose in New
York City, how do you even know? Because it's already
like full of carnage, right, Like, how would you even
tell the difference?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Well, the irony too, you know, the narrative is that
he can't get a fair trial here, that nobody in
New York likes Donald Trump. Okay, if that's your narrative,
stick with it. Donald Trump after the trial went to
Harlem and they reposted nothing but videos from their perspective
of him being beloved, people cheering, they love Trump. Here,
the narrative is wrong. He is he has adored when
(08:45):
he goes out in New York. I think again, take
the clip you want, make the narrative you want. But
if you're going to push the narrative that he can't
get a fair trial because nobody likes him in New York,
and yet you then go to a place in New
York and are bragging about how much people like you,
It's like, this is pick a lane, you guys.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Among the many great characters we talked to, there was
also a woman who had the most smoker's voice, maybe
in human history. I don't know if you remember who
I'm talking about, Zach. She told her she made an
appearance on another television show, America's Most Wanted.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Mm hmmmm hmm.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
She also had to wouldn't grant us the interview until
she finished her finished smoking her cigarette on the park bench,
which is just you know, listen, I'm glad that she
took the time she needed to mentally.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Prepare to go off.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
It is today, the January sixth of April fifteenth, No, no,
what January.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I was there January was six. Yes, I was there.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Where were you inside the rotunda? Are you in the office?
Were you holding a podium?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Where were you?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
It was breached before we even got there.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Because is that why you're here early today? Just to
make sure you get that first wave?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Well I have done pretty Go back and watch America's
most want it.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I made a grand the parents stand.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
When somebody's that we got what we to star, God bless,
I'll set my team up.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
She had that sassy grandma vibe or like or like
our sassy, sassy aunt who's got some stories, who like
you give a couple of gen and tonics to her
and hang out at the end of a party and
let her go like she had and also one of
those who you interview and you're like, wow, she had
a lot of opinions and she just wanted to chat.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
And then you get back into the edit after.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
You've relaxed and exhaled, and you watch her interview and
fall in love with her all over.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah. I mean truly, we used her a bunch of
the piece, and our first cut we had twice as
much stuff, and it was all funny and entertaining, but
at some point you're like we can't just lean too
heavily into one person. But there was an edit, like
an early cut of this piece that had even more
of her gold.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, she was truly remarkable, and and that's the kind
of person that you hope for at at every at
every event, and you don't hope for at every Thanksgiving.
You know, it's like, that's that's the person.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I feel like she went and she finished her because
she was merely like warming up her instrument, or she
came out to do the interview, which is her like
New Yorker Smoker's voice.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
I think if Trump was watching, I think we got
a communications director right here and there.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
She she is the She is.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
The kind of person who I want much like the
Menthol filter she had in her cigarette, I would like
her to filter the news of the White House and
deliver it to us on a daily basis if he
gets that job once.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Again, if she was, I feel like she could run
for city council somewhere and it could work.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Oh for sure.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
And something she also I don't think this made the
piece either, but she said that on January six, she
was sitting outside like somebody brought a chair for her,
and she was just like sitting outside and watching, just
like sitting outside chain smoking cigarettes, being like, yeah, this
is what America, this is what America.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Is for smoking section.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
You guys, take it easy. We know your lungs are
going to catch you up this hill.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
In the conversations we have with people on January sixth,
they no longer make our pieces anymore because the narrative
has been told over and over again. But the counter
narrative of how peaceful and meditative January sixth was to
the people who are talking about the violence of January sixth,
like we are a few years away from it in
far right circles being seen as almost like a zen
(12:22):
resort that you can go to the way people talk
about like oh, I was sitting in chairs, we were
watching it was a beautiful day, like Viperberly, it'll be
in the peacefulness is through the roof, right.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
It will be, it'll be. It'll be the vernacular like
what was it like? Were they fired up?
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Not?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Now?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
It was all January sixth vibes. Man, you couldn't get
the crowd going super chill? Yeah yeah, no, yeah, yeah,
she's wonderful. All right, Hold that thought. We have to
take a quick break. The last court appearance. We had
some stars that you mentioned, like George Santos, Marjorie Taylor
(12:59):
Green this there was Andrew Giuliani, Rudy Giuliani son who
recently ran from governor of New York.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Well, there was more press than there were MAGA supporters.
I did run into one January sixth B List star,
Rudy Giuliani's son.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah. I was in Washington, DC on January sixth as well.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I was with President Trump. Sure, I remember him talking
about peacefully protesting. Some people were talking about peaceful protests.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Some people also on January sixth, were talking about trial
by combat.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Let's have trial by combat. Do you know anybody who
was talking about that? Oh? You know, look, I would
say the peaceful protest is the most important thing. No
trial by combat, tests, no trial by combat. Do you
guys even care what's going on inside the courtroom or not?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
What was that like Jordan talking to Andrew?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Oh exciting, Yeah, it's so exciting. You know, this is
why you do it.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
You know, you get a chance to rub elbows with
the hoy POLOI and Andrew Giuliani.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I mean again, we were we saw he was he
was going around.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Trying to talk to media, trying to alle himself with
Donald Trump, supporting Donald Trump, and so it was an
opportunity for us to discuss.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
With him won his allegiance.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
And whether or not he was on board with this
narrative of this being a peaceful event, which, to be fair,
it was a fairly peaceful event, but it being the
rhetoric leading to potentially a dangerous event, and comparing that
to what happened on January sixth, and specifically comparing that
to what his father said on January sixth, she weirdly
forgot them that he seemed to have forgotten I appeared.
(14:32):
It's shocking because it seemed pretty public and it was
in the news. So I don't know, maybe if somebody
give him a link or something.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
I mean, who hasn't memory hold their father in citing
a riot?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Right, here's a picture of your dad at four Seasons landscape, ping,
do you remember this guy? This is another picture of
him with his hair dye bleeding down his temples? Is
this the guy you're forgetting? Zach? How do you think
Andrew felt about the interview when it was wrapping up.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
So the end of the interview, which which didn't air,
was definitely the most bizarre part because he was just
getting like all of his machismo bullshit energy was coming
out when he realized that Jordan had got him with
the trial by combat thing, and it was just so
(15:20):
like just so bizarre, just like devolving into these weird
like power dynamic of Okay, yeah, you're very funny, very
you know, just just exactly what you would expect, like
him just completely losing it. And it ended in this
this very weird handshake that lasted a really long time,
right Jordan.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
That seemed to last like way too long.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
It was one of those bro handshakes of like, you
know what I'm doing with this handshake?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Bro? Right? Bro?
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Right, bro a lot of bro. I'm like a lot
of a lot of bro. Even if it wasn't verbalized,
it was I felt a bro.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Handshake in there. And I'm very uncomfortable in those situations.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Do you feel my college golf strength coming through? That's right,
college golf, baby, That's what I did. I was an
athlete college golf.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
It's just so interesting that he would even, you know,
I always find it so interesting that the people they
have the hubris to think that, like you know, im, Yeah,
I'm gonna talk to this guy who's like very well
known for pointing out hypocrisy in public figures like me.
But like, no, that would you know, that's that would happen.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I'm ready. It's like he went into the interview without
having any idea what we're gonna talk about. He's like,
let's go, let's go, let's do it.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
It's it's all peacocking. That entire event is just peacocking
everyone who shows up. Juliani's there, He's strutting around peacocking,
trying to show up to Donald Trump, Laura Lumer is
trying to do that. Even the wild, wild guy with
a huge flag, He is there peacocking.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Nobody wants to talk about anything or.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
If you people are there just because they have what
feels like an earnest gripe. It feels like an earnest
opportunity for so many people, and that's what we what
we found with Juliani.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah no that I mean, it's interesting that he showed
up because you haven't heard from him in a while.
But I guess if you're that figure in New York,
this is your opportunity. I don't think he'll be showing
up again for a while. But here was his shot.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
There was there was a there was a guy emblematic
of it all. Okay, this is this is not a
ton of people there. But I remember as we were leaving,
a guy came in with his Trump paraphernalia and he
was meeting his body. They had a big hug at
the entrance and overheard him saying, Okay, let's let let's
go out. Let's go, let's let's go get in there.
I see a lot of cameras. Let's go talk to
the people, talk to the cameras. And I was like, oh, yeah,
(17:29):
that's the mentality of all of those folks walking in.
It's just like, oh oh okay, okay, cool, cool, let's
let's get there, let's get that attention. And and some people,
I think see that as a righteous crusade to be
the mouthpiece of a movement they believe in. Okay, but
I think a lot of people are just there like,
here's where the cameras are. I have the hat on,
I have the show, let's let's let's dance.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
It's interesting because I read something that was talking about
day two about how there was really only one supporter there,
which is very funny and said it's hard to make
TV out of things not happening, so we don't automate
go and do that. But I would be very curious
to talk to that one supporter and be like, what's
it like, what are your plans for the day? What
do you have in store for day three? But thinking
(18:09):
about that, how do you see I guess, like, do
you see a crowd coming back to this trial? I
wonder if it's like later on, if things are looking bad, Jordan,
what do you think is going to happen?
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I don't think Trump is going to get a big
response here in New York City, and I think he
will bring he will articulate that as this being a
biased liberal town.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
But I also think at its core it's bullshit.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
This I'm doing this for you, I'm fighting for you
as a way to get a rise and way to
get people to cheer at a rally, But deep down
he's not doing it for you. This case, the farther
away we get this case is about him having sex
with Stormy Daniels him then during an election months before,
like what a month before the election, paying for Stormy Daniels.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Not to talk about the sex they had.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Now that's Trump's thing, and ain't the rest of America's things,
and him trying to connect that to your struggles. People
who have to work nine to five, people would have
to take time off of work, they would have to
figure out what to do with their childcare to come
on down and support and yell on your behalf. Like, No,
the people who are doing that are people who see
it as a job opportunity, not people who see it
(19:22):
as a righteous quest. And so I think there's a
faulty premise in Donald Trump trying to play a heroic
victim for the rest of America. And I think you
see that in the numbers of the people who are attended.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Yeah, it doesn't seem like his logic, like it'll track
with the most fervent supporters, but you know, for your average,
not as engaged civilian in America, like that logic just
doesn't track if you know anything about the trials whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Also, there these are shows.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
We go to these rallies, and a lot of people
go to the rallies because they're fun. They wait in
line for tw hours because they want to get inside.
They want to hang out with their pals, and they
want to cheer for Donald Trump when he comes on out.
You don't get to see Donald Trump when you come
to downtown New York. It's a legal proceeding that's happened
inside a building that you're gonna have no access to
if you're there because you want to see Donald Trump
(20:16):
cheer him on and you want the freakin show. It's
almost like showing up and being like, well, no, you
can't get into the arena, but they're broadcasting elements of
the big game next door in a separate arena. And yeah,
maybe some people want to be on the periphery there,
but mostly the folks there to tailgate and party, they
want to ticket to the show, and there isn't a show.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Going to a stadium and watching the game on the
big screen that's being played somewhere else is never a
good look in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
That just seems a little desperate.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
But that's not even that. It's like going to a
stadium then being like, we're gonna stream this event to
your phone, right and you're not even gonna watch it
as a community. You're gonna watch it on your phone.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Let's all get updated on Twitter together.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, we haven't been to one of these in another state.
I'm very curious about what it will be like in
Georgia in Florida when those things are happening. I'm very curious.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
I am very curious to see if it's if it's
a similar situation, Uh, if we go down to Atlanta,
and if people are are absent or if they find
this as a crusade that they want to travel for.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
The good news is, we're gonna have so many opportunities. Guys.
This is the good news. And don't let it sink in.
Don't think too much about it because you'll get depressed.
But the good news is we have a lot of
opportunity to make this kind of TV. This is thank
you President Trump for allegedly committing so many crimes. You've
given us a lot of material and and like a
very busy calendar. So I mean, think about our you know,
(21:40):
our lives. We are maybe we're the victims here, you
know what this is?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Yeah, I think I think I think that's a victim narrative.
People can rally around Ian. Thank you, Jordan.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
You should tell the audience you're doing this for them
the way Trump does.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
You know, look, I'm a I'm a self centered comedian,
and even I know that's a bridged far.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Well, I'm doing it for them and travel points, so
that's also for me.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
That's where I do feel like, you know who really
hurts on this is uh is you and the lack
of travel points you're getting. I think what really is
suffering is the buffet bar at the Delta Priority loud.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Like, oh great, the Manadan courthouse. I've done jury duty here, fantastic.
I went to high school five blocks from here. This
is not exciting to me. Okay, we gotta do better.
Trump get arrested in more interesting places.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Thank you. I know, I love it.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Yeah, come on, get arrested in Charleston or a Hawaii arrest.
I don't just something something to really really give us
something that Vegas baby.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I feel like Vegas would be very hard for him
to get arrest They'd be like, yeah, that's what we do.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
It's promost We have advertisements for this in the airport.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (22:56):

lot of fun working with you all. I'm sure we'll
get to do it again. Zak, you're excited to get
