Summary

Michael Kosta breaks down the first four days of Trump's war on Iran: the U.S. government offers to evacuate Americans from the Middle East via bus, Trump stocks up for another forever war, conservatives quibble over the definition of "war," and friendly fire takes out $300 million worth of U.S. fighter jets. Leslie Jones tackles one of the great mysteries of life: What the hell is wrong with men? She dives into the male loneliness epidemic, misogynistic podcasts, non-human girlfriend alternatives, and dirty buttholes that are keeping men from living their best lives, before serving up some free therapy. Award-winning filmmaker Geeta Gandbhir joins Michael to discuss her two Oscar-nominated documentaries. They talk about the unvarnished interactions captured on body camera footage in “The Perfect Neighbor,” incorporating difficult footage of grief to bear witness to the effects of gun violence, the dangers of “stand your ground” laws in allowing racial bias, depicting the intersection of faith and women’s reproductive rights in “The Devil Is Busy,” and how filmmaking holds a mirror to society to expose new perspectives. --- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow Right now, go to https://quince.com/dailyshow for free shipping and 365-day returns. --- (00:00) Headlines (09:51) Leslie Jones on Men (21:57) Director Geeta Gandbhir Learn more about your ad choices.
