U.K. PM Liz Truss Resigns After 44 Days & COVID Causes Organs to Age Faster | The Daily Show

let's kick things off with an old school story that's an update on the coronavirus pandemic or as we call it now just life not that pretty much everyone has gotten through covert at least what seven times scientists are wondering what that's doing to our bodies and the answer is not great we have some more concerning news now about the long-term impact of coven 19. a study shows that it speeds up aging an epidemiology expert from Washington University in St Louis studied long covid's impacts on your organs in his research he noticed patterns indicating the kidneys the brain and the Heart All age faster after about with the virus yeah that's right researchers say covet can cause your organs to age faster than you are I'm not even sure what that means I guess you turn on the TV to watch Euphoria and your kidneys are like what about Blue Bloods come on come on for real this is disturbing news fights in covid is so difficult that it ages your body parts I mean that is a great excuse for the next time you can't perform in bed though you know baby you gotta understand my penis is like 85. and this is the scary thing about covet because it's a novel virus we still don't know what the long-term side effects might be and what sucks is that it's always going to be bad we know it's always going to be bad like viruses never have good side effects news anchors are never like breaking news we're learning now that nine out of ten people suffering from long covert get those sexy V things this is hot now if we had more time we could talk about the long-term strain covert is going to put on the medical system or how weird organs are in general like why do we have so many why don't we just have one big one that runs everything but we can't get into that important medical discussion because while covid keeps coming up with new ways to attack our bodies the virus of Russia Vladimir Putin has found new ways to attack Ukraine well tonight a third of Ukraine is without power after Russia destroyed power stations in the last eight days President zielinski says Russia has thrown the country into massive blackouts and is urging his Nation to brace for a tough winter for the last month Russia has targeted Ukraine's electricity grid especially substations that serve as Junction points between cities just yesterday Russia Unleashed these a swarm of Kamikaze drones to dive bomb energy facilities throughout the city yeah after being beaten back by Ukraine's forces on the ground Putin has now resorted to using Kamikaze drones caddy [ __ ] and you know if this doesn't prove that Putin's strategy is failing nothing will because you never need to use Kamikaze when you're winning you know it's like anytime you see someone rushing somewhere with a handful of paper towels you know things are not going according to plan oh [ __ ] [ __ ] oh [ __ ] oh [ __ ] oh [ __ ] and by the way also can we stop calling them Kamikaze drones right if there's not a person inside it's not Kamikaze right that's just ghost riding the whip Kamikaze is from Japan so this is a war crime and cultural appropriation so you're canceled Vladimir Putin see if Twitter will do what the you one could not by the way an interesting detail in the story is that Russia had to buy these drones from Iran which kind of makes you question their military might you're supposed to be one of the most powerful militaries in the world but you ran out of [ __ ] already like you realize America never runs out of weapons never America has so many weapons sometimes it'll sell weapons to countries that is going to fight just to make space you know be like all right here you go Iraq all right now let's do this now if we had more time we could talk about how Russia's access to weapons from other countries reminds us that the global sanctions aren't as Global as we think because they still have ties to Asia South America and the Middle East or we could talk about how this Ukraine war is complete completely derailing not just Ukraine but also Europe's economy and their energy supplies but we don't have the time to get into that because while Ukraine is in turmoil there's another country in Europe that somehow is an even more of a [ __ ] situation today Great Britain and that's one story we definitely need to make time for breaking across the pond a political earthquake just 44 days that is how long prime minister Liz truss was in office before resigning just in the last few hours I recognize though given the situation I cannot deliver the Mandate on which I was elected by the conservative party this makes trust now the shortest serving prime minister in 301 years God damn Britain another prime minister another prime minister and this one only lasted 44 days Boris Johnson had covered parties that were longer than that you realize how hard it is to get tired of somebody this quickly usually politicians get a period of time where you like them first and then you hate them but Britain hated Liz Trust basically from day one imagine being on a first date on a first date with someone and they're like oh I'm so sick of all your [ __ ] like but we just met it's like I know and I'm suffocating actually if this was a relationship I feel like at this point Britain's friends will be sitting down with it like listen honey you've been through four prime ministers in six years they can't all be the problem huh I'm just saying maybe it's time to turn the vote of no confidence on yourself yeah in fact for the next prime minister maybe maybe the UK should take things a little slow yeah yeah this is chaos for the next one maybe maybe don't put a label on it there's so much pressure that prime minister maybe just have them be the person who lives at 10 Downing Street in fact don't even live there just sleep over here and there you know yeah then maybe leave a toothbrush behind you know and then then they get a draw for their clothes and then when you're sure that this is the prime minister for you then you bring them to meet your friends at the G7 how about that you know be like yeah yeah we're a thing now we're a thing and by the way remember the reason Liz truss lost her job is because she came into office making worse decisions than a company social media manager during Black History Month terrible budget plans firing Finance ministers going back on her own policies sending the queen to meet Jesus things were going so badly so badly that the British press trolled her with vegetables in a sign of just how tenuous her standing was and perhaps how brutal UK politics can be a British newspaper began tracking ahead of lettuce to see if the embattled trust would last longer than the produce and it did oh that's humiliating that is humility imagine being so bad at your job that you lose a joke contest because at first people were like haha I bet she can't last longer than a head of lettuce and then by the end of it they're like should the letters be prime minister and maybe the letters will be the only one that wants the job because right now Britain's Parliament sounds more chaotic than a family reunion at Herschel Walker's house yesterday was a shambolic day for her we heard early in the day that her interior Minister the Home Secretary Zoella braveman had resigned over an issue over improper use of her emails and then later in the day we heard that she had in fact been fired and then there was a vote in the House of Commons which descended into chaos some lawmakers allege that government officials were actually physically pushing them intimidating them into making decisions that they wouldn't otherwise have made one lawmaker even alleged that some MPS were crying in the toilets of the House of Commons watch a [ __ ] show did you hear that people were shoving each other crying swearing quitting unquitting it's almost like the whole government turned into a High School drama club rehearsal I mean members of parliament were crying in the toilet multiple members of parliaments like how many what was there a lion you know there's people like are you almost done in there are you almost done other people are waiting to cry too you know it's coming out hurry it's coming out it's actually too bad that this happened in Britain and not in Japan because you know at least Japanese toilets are so Advanced they can they can probably actually help and console you you know they're there Trevor you're doing the best you can thanks Toto I remember what happened last time just shut up shut up you know the craziest part the craziest part of this whole story is that Liz truss only became prime minister because Boris Johnson was embroiled in so many scandals that he was forced to resign that's the only reason she got the job so you'll never guess who might be replacing her the big issue though for the conservative party and for this country is that no one really knows who's going to be able to replace her there are a number of names in the mix including I have to say Boris Johnson who's currently on holiday and on vacation at the moment in the Caribbean there are a number of conservative party members who are calling for Boris Johnson to return to the helm I went to my constituency at the weekend and the strong message that I got was bring back Boris Johnson some supporters and some allies of Boris Johnson say that he may throw his name into the ring which would be pretty remarkable since he was forced out by Scandal just six or seven weeks ago oh that's right people old Boris Johnson is looking pretty good right now isn't he not physically of course physically oh he looks like a Pomeranian who got stuck in a dryer politically though people like he's not Birds here's an honest question though Britain are you are you guys really going to put Boris back in office Boris scandals Johnson there is nobody else who could do this job nobody in the entire country and what about Paddington everybody loves him [Applause] with that voice he could even have bad policies no one would care I want to burn all the migrants you crazy tyrants [Music]
