Eye on Australia: Animals, Ronny Chieng, and Mandatory Voting | The Daily Show

[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] we have to talk about the big news of the day and i mean big news a man in australia believes he owns the largest steer in the country so this is the herd wait for it look at this thing we're gonna see it in just a second oh my goodness whoa his name is knickers he is six feet four inches tall and weighs almost 3 000 pounds that's almost as tall as michael jordan and as heavy as a mini cooper sweet jesus i know there's tons of news happening in the world right now i know there's trump i know there's things in brexit with britain i know but look at that thing what is going on in australia why is every animal down under so weird every animal their ducks have fur the kangaroos have a built-in tummy purse like i feel like australia is doping all their animals like they're russian athletes this is like some crazy guy in australia he's like oh yeah i'm finished with my super spiders now i'm like a cow the size of michael jordan what are you guys doing down there and honestly i like that cow is so glorious right i bet it's so glorious that last night the pope converted to hinduism he was like you know what they're right cows man i've been rolling with jesus for too long now when i saw this giant cow the first thing i thought was this is some dope weed but a lot of other people saw that cow and they took it to a really dark place his massive size is also what saved him knickers is too big for the meat processing facility so he will live out the rest of his life with his herd he's too heavy for the abattoir so he'll live out his days in the paddock unfortunately some bad news if you like an extra big t-bone steak why are you trying to eat the giant cow the world only has one giant cow and your only thought is super-size me just eat two normal cows it tastes the same why are people trying to kill a cow and you know what luckily even if they want to they can't kill him he cannot fit inside the abattoir which by the way is such a white people problem to have because in africa they'll be like no we can't we can kill that car we can find their way don't worry about the machine we can't kill that cow but luckily in australia they can't kill him yeah so knickers the cow can do whatever he wants like what are you gonna do about it he's unkillable yeah like i'm hoping that one day the farmer's gonna come home he's gonna find the cow sitting on his couch watching his tv with his arm around his wife and the farmer's gonna be like bloody hell cow what are you doing in my house and the car is going to be like look at me look at me i am the farmer now [Applause] [Music] while we've been going through this corona crisis in america the daily show's ronnie chang has been stuck in australia there he is ronnie chang hey what's up trevor oh man so good to see you dude what's going on uh i'm i'm i'm okay i was actually visiting australia when all this went down uh i came here to pick peta koala bear and uh all this stuff start happening so i'm stuck in a hotel room right now and i spent like two thousand dollars on minibar peanuts damn yeah yeah that's you got to be careful down there and there's a lot of corona cases down there uh yeah it's increasing just like everywhere but uh don't worry i've i've been tested where are you being like are you being serious you've been tested tested yeah i got tested for the corona yeah yeah um i i just have to i can't tell if you're being serious right did you really get tested yeah i got tested yeah oh okay like just just because you like because like you're on tv or just they're just testing people i i think that just i match the symptoms because um i had a cough and i just came in from america and they gave me everything they tested me they gave me a pap smear they gave me a pregnancy test uh i had the whole everything i did every exam i could in that place wow okay though that sounds unnecessary i don't know why you did the pregnancy test oh but you you'll be glad to know that i'm not pregnant by the way well i mean that that's obvious you wouldn't have also not whatever the perhaps new tests i'm not that either i i don't think it's testing for a thing to be i think yeah well look anyway anyway i'm just saying perfectly healthy the point is i'm perfectly healthy yeah and the point is it seems like it's really easy to get tested in australia much easier than it is in america yeah well it's like it's impossible to get a test out here yeah i'm hearing stories again i haven't been in america for like four weeks now but uh if it makes you feel any better the corona test doesn't feel great okay they stick that swab way up your nose it touches the back of your back of your nasal passage it's like an anal probe on your nose man it's not good wait so then it's like stick the thing up your nose oh they stick it up and then they twist it like that like they're digging your nose for you yeah but not it feels like uh it feels like someone's trying to scratch your brain damn oh that sucks well i'm sorry man i'm sorry that you had to get the test i'm also sorry that now you're stuck in a hotel social distancing that must like be double the pain no no i'm fine man i love social just listening i love this is my jam i love this stuff i get to watch tv all day i can eat whatever i want i wake up whenever i want i don't have to wear pants i'm not wearing pants right now it's the best yeah but what about all the people who love you you don't get to see them and those those people are the worst by the way people who love you are the hugging and kissing and rubbing is every form of affection is like corona bomb no thanks wow okay so if it was up to you you'd just be interacting over like video calls and stuff that would be your life absolutely in fact when this thing is over i hope this is the only way we interact i mean i don't have to smell your breath you know i i don't have to i don't have to like uh be in contact with your bodily fluids and if i get bored i can just pretend i'm having problems with the wi-fi wow okay i mean that's one way to look at it but then like what about like work and hanging out with your friends you you always said you loved hanging having lunch with me every day so i mean that's actually sorry trevor i'm sorry the wi-fi in australia is actually really really bad so i i i i can't hear you anymore i'll i'll just talk to you later man see you later okay bye in 2016 trump got elected of only a quarter of eligible voters supporting him that is a broken system some politics nerds are proposing a solution jury duty and taxes are mandatory so why not voting but america is the land of the free where the whole point is to do anything you want even dress up as fat iron man in times square on a tuesday afternoon so can you really force americans to vote do you think in america voting should be compulsory i think it should but it's not going to happen because people won't even wear masks if we were told to do something at this point exactly [ __ ] it we wouldn't do it do you think america would ever accept mandatory voting definitely not why not uh because americans are lazy in general america is the land of the free people come here because it's a free place and that includes the freedom to not participate yeah pretty much do you think mandatory voting can happen in america no it's not i do not i think that american values are like a toxic version of what freedom is isn't that what makes america great it's not so great at the moment maybe americans think it's impossible but mandatory voting does exist in 22 countries including one that's even drunker crazier and whiter than the us i'm talking about australia where they've had it since 1922. it was quite a small step for australians to think well we want the majority of people to be selecting our government and that gives it greater legitimacy so basically in australia you force people to exercise their democratic rights that's right yes that's right i don't think people in australia regard it as a particularly big deal you've got to turn up on election day which is a saturday you know it might take you like 15 minutes and the parents and teachers association will be there selling sausages and that's where we get the term democracy sausage okay for americans the term democracy sausage has had a bad taste since the clinton administration but for australians consuming child intestine meat on bread has been a voting tradition since the 1940s but what about the people who don't think a sausage sizzle is enough incentive to vote what kind of punishment do you have to enforce to make it so that over 90 of people go and vote what jail time public spanking you have to wear i didn't vote sticker it's a 20 fine that's it that's a that's a bargain i think look there's big advantages in our system because the political parties don't have to get the vote out and that means they don't have to appeal to the base so you don't get the same sort of extreme ideological um appeals and so it makes our democracy i think more moderate doesn't that make the your election process very boring oh well i don't doesn't make it boring look i don't know that that's a problem for me what democracy means is that the majority of people participate and i find the extent of voter suppression in the united states truly shocking i don't understand how the americans can call themselves a democracy at all damn political science world star is gonna love this but how do everyday australians see it i took a 25 hour flight and spent two weeks in quarantine just so i could talk to them myself in sunny brisbane australia what do you feel about the fact that voting is compulsory in australia i feel very proud that it is and for people who don't want to vote they should go and live somewhere else everybody has to decide and they are it's mandatory to vote so if the result doesn't go your way you can't complain if we lose uh we're sad but at least we've had a chance to vote and that's it brother done you just do it it takes five minutes you just go in there vote and get out no time no effort just shut the [ __ ] up and vote what do you guys think about mandatory voting in australia yeah i think it's pretty important so we're not a fan of it we don't care what we vote for we just go in there and take a few boxes and then fingers crossed we get the right one are you guys drunk right now yeah we had a few years before shots yeah yeah yeah you know man that is australia but why do you think voting isn't mandatory in america oh maybe i mean yeah now i rethink it actually maybe there's a purpose for it america australia which one's doing better i feel like i'm a witness to cavemen discovering fire right now yeah that's fair enough actually yeah even drunk australian bros can see the benefits of mandatory voting but for america the good news is that voter turnout in 2020 is on track to hit record levels all we needed to get people to vote was to elect donald trump and then guess what people turn up we don't need to force people to vote well that's a pretty big price to pay i'd rather pay a 20 fine than have to put up with president trump for four years touche judith but hopefully one day americans will also learn to enjoy the sweet sweet taste of democracy sausage as much as our drunk vote loving mates down under thank you [Music] [Applause] i know you're thinking how did my incredibly chiseled body end up here [Music] enjoy your dreads next pick up for ronin chang right 25 milligram dairy print for toxoplasmosis i got from my cat i got it for my cat so now you have to do anything weird to get it okay you just need to have touched cat feces and not wash your hands and then put it in your mouth which happens more than you think okay okay so that'll be forty five thousand nine hundred and nine dollars and ten cents wait did you say forty five thousand nine hundred nine dollars and ten cents how is that even possible how did this medicine become so expensive i went home to do some research yes this is how i do research it's the future okay deal with it one tablet of daraprim used to cost thirteen dollars fifty cents the drug maker recently increased the price to seven hundred and fifty dollars apparently in america drug companies can do whatever the hell they want and that's exactly what this [ __ ] did you remember martin shkreli he was the one who raised the price of the life-saving drug daraprim in response to all of this attention are you gonna change the price no i also found out that a group in australia managed to replicate the same drug for just two bucks a pill at that price it's cheaper for me to fly to australia than to buy it in america so i did and guess what the scientists responsible were these high school nerds meet the young chemists from sydney grammar's all boys high school man i love it all that time you could have wasted going on dates and having a life you guys channeled into your science yeah yeah what we're trying to do is just to demonstrate that this drug doesn't deserve to be price hiked to 750 a pill i think like people appreciate those a bit more now except for one guy who went on a tweeting rampage against them when their success started to make headlines never ever compare your cook game to mine highest yield best purity most scale i have the synthesis game on lock we were able to do this in a school lab with cheap school equipment compared to a fully fledged facility that he has and when we compared the spectroscopy we got very high yield very high purity so our synthesis game is also unlocked oh snap they talk science and trash and at just two bucks a pill they must be bawling so how did you guys celebrate your newfound wealth we didn't make money from it we're just making it to a proven point really hang on wait a second so you created a drug and you made no money from it no no what are they teaching you at this school science well maybe they should be teaching some basic economics why is this magic stuff you made there it is wonderful little beautiful white powder that's it yep that's it how much is that worth it's about worth of uh a bit over a hundred thousand dollars the stream value of that is one hundred thousand dollars in the u.s yeah can you show me how to make it so we started out with chlorophenyl acetonitrile to which we added ethopropanolate potassium tertutoxide to get the keto natural then we added isobutanol and concentrated sulfuric acid to get the butyl ether then we added guanidine hydrochloride and sodium clearly these kids were only in it for the science and not working on their own so i arranged to sit down with the real mastermind behind this operation the hardened criminal that was profiting off of these students ronnie so the drug lords were actually the scientists working for the open source malaria cartel and they were cracking the code behind dozens of drugs including daraprim the aim is to try and make medicines more accessible to people it only takes a few steps and high school students can do it so why is it so expensive why is it so expensive well shkreli bought the marketing rights is because of a loophole in the states this loophole allows this company to charge whatever it likes for this drug isn't that a good thing they can put that money into making the drug itself better well there's been no development on this medicine for over 60 years i mean it's off pattern it was invented in the 50s so there seems to be no reason to raise the price of a drug by over five and a half thousand percent but you guys are sitting on a gold mine here i think you've really misunderstood what's going on here i'm not saying so for 750 a pill okay we're not animals like 500 a pill but we don't want to but you could but we don't want it for a bunch of geniuses they shouldn't know anything about supply and demand luckily i too know smart stuff which takes us back to where we were i needed a large supply of pharmaceuticals to bring back to the states to make a meal i mean save millions of lives and i knew just the people to make it happen all right listen you're australian genius brats i need drugs lots of drugs keep mixing that go why are you in underwear look i don't know much about chemistry but i know you gotta take a pants off when you do it okay that's basic science what is this that's a great beam i need a great a you hear me i want your synthesis game on lock you got something for herpes i want that you have to do it right now just write that down for me i'll take it home and figure it out science [ __ ] now that i have my product keep working all i had to do was smuggle it into america and i had a foolproof plan okay so you take this right and you put in your pocket turns out the best drug mules aren't even mules right that's it go go and save lives you beautiful medical marsupials if you make it to america meet me in times square now do any of you [ __ ] kangaroos know i can get [Music] [Applause] uber talk about animals they can sit up they can roll over and some of them can even sing like beyonce but when animals pop up in the news oftentimes it's because they've done something bad so to help us cover the biggest animal stories we turn to our very own daily show animal expert my australian cousin with the segment he calls these animals [Applause] oh hi mates welcome to the show i'm australian trevor and you can tell that i'm australian because i have a hat as a wildlife expert i love animals but the truth is some of them are downright dicks animals like this kangaroo look at this creature half rabbit half fanny pack and 100 wanker and a paraglider gets a rude awakening get it while landing in australia take a look what's up skip go away go away a gopro cam catching the moment the angry kangaroo charges at the man thankfully it hopped away seconds later leaving the man with barely a scratch jumping jag was at a jamboree this bloke was just peacefully paragliding and then there's hopping hooligan comes at him like he's liam neeson and this guy took his kid this kangaroo has a particular set of skills being a dick that's probably why this kangaroo got fired from the job at the airport he kept fighting the planes every time they try to land and if it's not [ __ ] kangaroos punching paragliders it's criminal bears grabbing your garbage a bear's attempt at dumpster diving ended in furry frustration it walked up to a colorado marijuana dispensary looking for some munchies the bear broke through a fence and started sniffing around it tried to get into that dumpster but the dumpster was a bear resistant container the bear decided right there to roll it down the street before eventually giving up what popping wallabies at a walmart this bear's stealing a dumpster from marijuana dispensary that's not only criminal it's bloody dumb anyone with half a brain knows that pot smokers never leave food behind there's no food in there mate this would be like searching for porn mags at mike pence's house yeah he doesn't read porn he gets off to the yellow bean winter catalogue look at that insulation but at least that bear had the decency to do this crazy [ __ ] at night animals in africa have the unnuded balls to terrorize you during the bloody day what would you do if an angry elephant charged your jeep during a safari this was the scene when a raging elephant charged a safari tour jeep the stunning video was taken by a tourist sitting at the back of the safari's jeep the driver desperately tried to reverse away from the charging animal as you can obviously see here jumping jeffrey epstein on a pogo stick that crazy elephant needs to calm down was he chasing them all these nice people wanted to do was barge into his home and snap photos of him while he's taking a bath what's the big deal if anyone wants to watch michelle they're welcome that's why i set up a webcam and also what's with the bloke who's live streaming the whole thing instead of instead of trying to get followers mate you should be calling your mom goodbye yeah busy out there you've got to pay attention elephants or you'll end up with a tusk so far up your bum it becomes an extra tooth mate but let me tell you these safari goers got off with just a scare and yellowstone national park there's a bison that got a lot closer and luckily no one was badly hurt a harrowing experience of a nine-year-old florida girl who's recovering tonight after being attacked by a bison at yellowstone national park what started as a family's awe-inspiring encounter turned to horror a crowd of curious tours getting a close look at a massive bull bison then suddenly it charges plowing into a nine-year-old girl launching her several feet into the air the girl rushed to a nearby clinic rangers say the child is lucky she was not seriously injured did you ring dingos that bison is a downright prick how you gonna go flip a pool little girl you bison you should be going after her coward parents look at them they ran away faster than a cheetah laid on his child support yeah i'll tell you what mate after that you're never getting any respect from your kid yeah tomorrow night that mum will be like katie you left the dishes in the sink and she'll be like oh kind of like how you left me for dead while they're bison use me as a goddamn hacky sack [ __ ] you mom these animals that's all the time you've got for today i've excuse me i've got an investigator dangerous running a ponzi scheme back to you trevor [Applause] thanks australian trevor [Music] you
