Eye on Arizona: Why Is It So F**king Weird? | The Daily Show

[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] time it flies when you're having fun but it also killed pipa every march in november we try to control it daylight saving time is about to begin remember we fall back tomorrow night set the clocks back bringing forward and i hate it back one hour why do we change our clocks and does it do more harm than good well as i found out if you screw with time who are you it just might screw you back arizona it's one of america's top states alphabetically but more importantly their clocks play by their own rules arizona has opted out of daylight saving time they stick to standard time all year so i'm here in cactus country to find out how these time bandits can even function living outside of normal time how has living without daylight saving time completely messed up your life i feel like everybody else is all messed up because i've never turned my clock back i never have to worry about it i guess it's like the wild west does that explain your mustache i don't know what explains this i love the fact that i don't have to worry about changing the clocks don't you feel like you're missing out being an hour behind the rest of the country no that's all right we'll catch up you won't catch up you're always an hour behind yeah i don't see it as living in the past i only see it as living in the present it's their future and not my past because my past is then their packed i'm sorry what arizonans seemed happy with their own time laws not to mention their access to primo desert drugs but if they were unaffected by not changing their clocks why do the rest of us do it i sat down with clock blocker scott yates who's on a mission to permanently stop clock changing i'm the leader of the lock the clock movement trying to stop people from having to change the clocks twice a year but isn't it a good thing to set the clocks forward an hour and gain that extra hour of sunlight people in general like that extra hour of sunlight but for some people it's really deadly traffic accidents go up strokes heart attacks more people actually just die in the few days after the spring forward time change wow i guess for some people time is up solid jokes aside if this is literally killing people there has to be a good argument for it there really isn't any argument to change the clock twice a year well no there is the farmers no the whole story about the farmers it's the biggest pr con job ever the farmers have always been against changing the clocks for daylight saving time and they've been like hey stop blaming us we don't have anything to do with this you'll blame the farmer trope no honey i did not have sex with my yoga instructor it was the farmer who i had sex with why do we even have daylight savings time or is it daylight's saving times daylight savings times no s's daylight saving time got it daytime save light time well it was first proposed here in the united states by a retailer that found that if there's more sunlight people would have more time to shop this all started from a retailer well he came up with the name daylight saving time but it actually started during world war one the germans started doing it and then the brits and then the u.s fell into it after that it was called war time such a german thing to do to make people lose an hour after the war we stopped doing it because everybody hated it and then in the 60s the gulf industry became a really big industry so golf lobbyists were able to convince politicians that we should have daylight saving time so that there's more time to play golf after work wait the golf lobby yeah that's right they make hundreds of millions of dollars for every extra month that the country is in daylight saving time and then the candy lobbyists went to congress and said we should have daylight saving time extend into the first weekend of november and that way on halloween they sell more candy all right wartime golfers and now candy men are the reason behind dst where does that leave us now things are actually really improving there's a bill that has both republican and democrat support to actually make the change to the law so that the states can go on permanent daylight saving time so it's a bipartisan issue it's totally bipartisan wow i don't think i've ever heard that from anybody before well the basic idea of time is really just an agreement we all have to come together to decide when 10 am is and that agreement shouldn't kill people my time is in agreement what even is time when is time [Music] who is time why is time what uh can i go now the deeper i traveled into daylight saving the deeper i got lost and what time even was time is a construct right right time is it's now it's before it's later later i'm i'm in their past but it's my future future and if some states change the clocks in arizona doesn't could space and time invert on themselves who are you better question is when am i future me yeah i'm you during daytime save light time hold on a second this is me in an hour yeah this whole changing the clocks thing is really [ __ ] up god damn it who just locked the clocks this whole thing would never happen ah yes the mcfly paradox i knew exactly what to ask me you want a 69 yeah okay either america needs to lock the clocks i need to stop doing peyote on work trips [Music] arizona is the most die-hard red state in the southwest but a new democratic candidate is using a radical approach to take back the governor's seat meet noah dyer in many ways a typical democrat the most important things are that we reform education immigration health care but what sets his campaign apart is his goal of cleaning up the cesspool of political scandal and controversy that's taken over arizona politics i'm a politician who's going to give people the whole truth i've been totally honest and transparent from day one wow i appreciate the honesty thing and he means totally honest when i launched my campaign i revealed everything that i've done there's a statement on my website that reveals that i've had a lot of casual sex and sex with married women come again i've had a lot of sex with married women sorry tell me again what office are you running for governor of arizona you know that we're recording this i've had a lot of sex i intend to keep having sex it's not that kind of show so i don't want to get too deep into it but like specifically what sex stuff group sex with lots of people and things say no more text sex and i've recorded video during sex sometimes it's just a eight second video and other times it can go on for quite some time turns out this guy was totally for real and the press poured out love for his unconventional campaign he is tapping into something really important when it comes to campaigning in an authentic way everybody can appreciate somebody that's an open book of course dyer's open book has some pages stuck together but he's hoping to get through the steamy chapters pretty quickly i don't actually want to talk about my sex life i've just shared it at the get-go so that we can not talk about it but there's a tab on your website about it right but if he's gonna defeat incumbent doug ducey dyer's gonna need a few other tabs do you have anything else going on in your life to distract people from all the sex stuff sure what i've got an example of a speech here that i gave in a legislative district meeting great doug ducey has made alliances with selfish business and political leaders at rape arizona's most vulnerable communities when their policies rape our public school students and teachers when they rape our lgbtq community and when they rape our poor okay they call it jobs good i'll take that okay um do all your speeches have that much rape in them my intention was to really make people feel that these policies are bad i'd scale back like a hundred percent on the rape this guy has to spend some time not campaigning with this dick what makes him electable you know i guess when i speak spanish and i included that as part of my campaign because it's a it's legitimately who i am me gusta kbn didn't follow that but you know i guess i'm a hobby stage hypnotist you're a hypnotist yeah there's going to be a republican governor for a long time i don't think so i'm i'm telling you that i see a lot of people who are excited about this campaign and we're going to do better than the odds predict so i tagged along as dyer tried to show me his fired up electorate i'm noah dyer i'm running for governor of arizona part of my thing is honesty i found that a lot of people don't think politicians can be trusted he's had group sex i have had group sex could you vote for somebody that's had group sex before no i don't know if i want a governor who's having group sex why did you disclose that but they weren't exactly on board do you feel like you could trust me more because i've been honest with that up front oh yes but you're not gonna vote for him probably not no it's pretty close to a no at this point clearly dyer couldn't get elected on his own so i brought my fancy new york camera crew out to the desert to help him out with his first campaign commercial all he had to do was steer clear the sex stuff and be normal think just empty patriotism and oh your wife right here perfect my name's noah dyer and i'm running for governor of arizona i've had lots of sex including casual sex and group sex that i've even recorded hot cut yeah okay that uh can you do that again but without mentioning sex seven times action my name's noah dyer and i'm running for governor of arizona i want you to know that i'm going to be an honest and transparent politician once dyer finally dropped all the sex stuff he was actually pretty electable so forget transparency we all want to have group sex we just don't want our governors having group sex or something i don't know i need a drink i actually don't drink what i have actually never had a drink wait you have sex sober yes that is the most up thing i've ever heard good luck arizona you're gonna need it [Applause] [Music] last week i traveled to a sweltering arizona where republican state senators are auditing results of the 2020 election in a giant arena next to an actual carnival sure there's already been two audits and a recount and it's 101 goddamn degrees out but there are still men like this ready to throw their support behind election integrity i've been here all week uh and i'll be here until the audit's done is my plan so this what's going on right back here is the most important thing going on in our country right now what do you have there on your hip smith and western 357 magnum there has been word that antifa and blm may be coming in so they're trying to be careful and uh secure the premises have you seen any signs of antifa you guys have probably heard about the carnival that's going on here there's a little concern about whether or not that would provide those kind of folks an opportunity to come in and try to infiltrate and get access so there is some fear that blm might meet behind the tilt-a-whirl organize and then bum rush the situation bad people can do bad things i'm not going to say what they may try to do outside of possible antifa carnies which was laid out in official documents outlining potential security threats what's the harm in one more recount i know that it's comical to watch what's happening here in arizona but i think that it is also important to note that this is really dangerous to our democracy and you know what we saw how dangerous the post-election misinformation was this is a group of people who are clearly partisan it is headed by a company that has no auditing or election experience and they're making up the rules as they go along so who's running the audit cyber ninjas did you say cyber ninjas i did say cyber ninja is it run by a 12 year old boy uh it sounds like it right well the cyber ninjas website looks like the invitation to my ninth birthday party we must not judge audit companies by their splash page but you give it to the pros let the pros handle this these are not pros well they're cyber ninjas that takes some amount of training i assume their firm has nothing to do with audits or elections well maybe they're newish to it how many audits have they done none they've never done an audit no well i mean give them a wide berth right first job you want to root sometimes you make some mistakes with your first job i remember my first job i burned a lot of hamburgers you know and i worked in a tj man there are a lot of arizona voters who are very very concerned about this and i don't think they like the idea of their ballots their election being in the hands of these rookies turns out the audit has had some issues in the trust department starting with cyber ninja's conspiracy theorist ceo an auditor who attended the january 6th insurrection and mysterious uv lights used to look for chinese bamboo in paper ballots really to help clear the air i talked to john brakey and ken bennett who are inside working on the audit there's been so many bizarre stories going on through the media you can have some pretty far-fetched ideas on both sides and what we're doing is simply proving or disproving as many of those as we can speaking of somebody on the outside this feels like it's just feeding into conspiratorial thinking we're mythbusters great okay we're doing things we think are foolish but people believe it's real what is this i hear of a uv light there there was a uv light that was being used to uh supposedly check for water marks in the ballot i want to follow up on this bamboo bizarre huh that's because southeast asia has uses bamboo in their paper supposedly okay we're myth busting but are you looking for traces of bamboo we're looking for everything in there so that's a yes we're looking to disprove that it's not there some people believe that paper from outside of the authentic ballot paper that should have been part of the maricopa audit got introduced into the system and might be the paper on which 40 000 people cast illegitimate votes all chinese ballots are on bamboo yeah is it because soy sauce would be too obviously racist oh my goodness is there a chance people believe this because people add fuel to the fire by elevating this and and therefore letting that be part of the conversation if we validate that something they think might have happened didn't happen then we're not throwing fuel on the fire are you looking into the hungarian vector i didn't know about that one hungary it's a [ __ ] thing i just made up that sounds cool and a little bit spooky i was fortunate enough to see the operation first hand and the people led by the cyber ninjas were definitely counting and observing but there is still one thing that can at least temporarily derail this audit teenagers we've known from the very beginning that there's some high school graduations coming in in two weeks so we'll have to step aside for about a week while the graduations occur you don't have a place to count the ballots in two weeks no just wait one week we're gonna shut down we'll secure the ballots and when the graduations are over uh we'll come back and this is not a joke i know it's not a joke but you want us to trust you but you're like we're gonna lock the ballots in there and then let a bunch of teenagers not gonna go through for a week and then we'll start counting again now that is not the case at all secure the balance right let's get started no i got it no that's serious let's be certain he's a very serious very serious okay so it's not a joke it's not a joke let's go back to the bamboo talking but it's not a joke until we settle the very serious bamboo situation you can find me in a place that's run by professionals not attempting to thwart our democracy the other carnival [Music] wildfires flash floods and a dramatically shortened cuffing season climate change is affecting america and nowhere more than phoenix arizona in phoenix they say it's too hot to fly 44 people had to be rescued arizona officials are urging locals to avoid hiking during extreme heat so i headed to arizona to find out for myself just how bad the heat can get to explain the science behind my sweaty balls i met with climate expert brian stone climate change is very much happening today and has been with us for many decades already if you are under the age of 34 today if every month of your life if i'm under 34. every month of your life has been in a in a climate that is much warmer than we've seen for thousands of years is that how old you are and third-degree burns like that are becoming the new normal here in phoenix you're seeing 100 days a year with temperatures over 100 degrees and there have been many warnings for us that we haven't listened to leading up until this point right yeah nelly has been warning us about phoenix's 2003. i really don't know anything about that hot in her sort of like this pleading cry to the public like it's getting hot in here please yeah take off all your clothes yeah we didn't listen um maybe brian walked me through some of phoenix's new climate adaptations like smooth reflective surfaces and of course landscaping but the biggest change arizona is shifting daytime activities tonight that's right it's gotten so hot that jogging hiking and even construction work are now happening after hours what so i want to do one of my favorite things hang out with a bunch of guys laying pipe do you do construction at night because it's more fun we do construction at night because it's safer arizona temperatures are just too hard on the guys if you're not prepared well hydrated you're gonna end up in the hospital getting ivs ran to you oh gross but when the sun goes down things at the concrete pore do get a little freaky you see the guy he's got a vibrator on his back and that concrete's liquid and it vibrates the concrete it goes and surrounds all the rebar he has a vibrator on his back that machine right there does he like clean it off before he comes to work put oil on it right just want to make sure that we're being sanitary absolutely but it's not all pleasuring concrete bridges to completion working at night can affect cognitive performance and lead to tragic accidents i can't find my i think my phone is in there climate change hasn't just affected these sex positive village people style jobs it's also changing the way that people have fun so i met up with the arizona trailblazers hiking club for a night hike here's a black light for you you can use this to try to look and see if there's any critters scorpions snakes uh what yeah there's lots of wildlife in these in the floor around sorry repeat that sorry what was that scorpions we can look for them using these black lights okay first of all terrifying second scorpions glow under black lights i have some questions why do they glow is it because they're covered in i don't believe that's the the reason and these scorpions were ready to pop off he's pointing his tail at you i think you've really angered him oh my god i thought he was waving because he's such a little guy he probably doesn't have venom yet right oh no that's the worst kind the smaller scorpions are more venomous than the larger species gary stuff stop oh my god he picked it up he picked it up gary no gary stop stop what gary stop playing i hope he comes back lost in the arizona desert it felt like things couldn't get any worse oh my god one reply on my scorpion video about nine come get but when the sun finally rose i saw how beautiful arizona looked without an iphone flashlight on it must have been cool to hang out here without dying of heatstroke climate change might be in arizona today but it's coming for the rest of america luckily i knew just the plan to get the government to take serious action i've released 100 scorpions into these chambers and the doors are locked until you pass comprehensive climate reform no i don't know why they're covered in [Music] [Applause] [Music] if you're going to talk about arizona you have to talk about old people because they are everywhere here see which brings me to death not no not yours obviously you still have a long road ahead of you and here in arizona people thinking about the afterlife are choosing something new whole body donation more and more people are choosing to forgo a traditional burial and just donate their bodies to science there was a 20 increase in the number of people donating their body right here in arizona that's about 47 000 people to investigate i hit up a popular spot for the old folks to see if body donation really was all the rage what do you want to happen to your body after you die i'd consider whole body donation have you considered whole body donation yes i have it all ready set up so you seem pretty old and close to death what do you want to happen to you after you die i'm going to be i'm donating it to science what made you think of doing that um i have no living relatives who's gonna bury me have any friends uh yeah they don't care about my body well maybe they should care because when i turn on the news i discovered this scandal involving a body donation business in phoenix the owner accused of selling bodies and body parts essentially running a chop shop for human body parts a human chop shop these were people not cars you stripped down for pots i turned to a team of lawyers trying to end this horror so what the [ __ ] is happening in arizona people are getting people to donate their bodies and telling them that they're going to treat the bodies with dignity and respect and they were sold off like you would sell off the parts of a cow and then ultimately the fbi raided this organization here in arizona so what did the fbi find there were coolers and freezers of disarticulated body parts you know a cooler of arms a cooler of legs they found heads they found the torso of a large human male with the head of a small female sewn on all right okay we get it enough already jesus anyone have a puppy i can pet for 10 seconds just to clear my head and and they found a giant uh bag of penises they found a bag of dicks yes it was referred to as a large bag of male genitalia so it's a large bag of dicks yes i'm scared to even ask but what were they gonna do with this large bag of dicks well we really can only speculate we know that some of it may have gone the black market in southeast asia for something like penis wine okay i'm from southeast asia i've never heard of penis wine what is it i i think it's wine that has a penis in it that's supposed to make people more viral that is disgusting i thought so is it red or white are you gonna get close enough to it what kind of flavor profile is this is it is it nutty i didn't taste it there's notes of foreskin i can we move on this this this is a serious case oh yeah that's right holly we're just going to mention penis why not talk about it this case is about the harm that was done to people and families not about penis wine she's right people thought they were donating their bodies for research to find cures for diseases but instead it was real life invasion of the body snatchers how are they going to fix this we need regulations licenses for example you don't need a license to deal with dead bodies correct you need a license to do nails you need a license to fish you need a license to drive a forklift pay your money fill out a form and you're a medical director that has to change this is horrific this is not just an arizona problem it's a nationwide problem and if you think it's not happening in your backyard you're mistaken okay sorry can we just go back to the penis wine for a second do they stomp on dicks the way they stomp on grapes are they squeezing out the penis are they just fermenting it i don't know and i'm really not sure i want to know no one should have their dead body violated or their genitals turn into a tasty beverage if people are going to donate they should at least know exactly what they're getting themselves into they need to know the truth until arizona puts regulations in place all we can do is offer competing services introducing giveroniobody.com give me your body and we'll take care of the rest with us you'll know exactly what you're getting we provide services such as be turned into a human ventriloquist dummy be used for weekend at bernie sequel literal body pillow stifler oscars those are just some of the many things we can do sound horrifying you betcha but it's also perfectly legal until arizona changes its laws givron to yourbody.com give me your body i want your body ronnie chang is unlicensed and has no experience in this field which is not a problem the state of arizona so avoid this service altogether and do your research or donate to medical centers [Music] you

This is such an interesting question though.

Why IS Arizona so weird?
