0:00.0 | Good morning for a daily show. I'm Neil Freiman and I'm Toby Howl. Today Tesla just got rear-ended in its earnings report. We're going to take it to the shop and inspect the damage. |
0:10.0 | Then remember SPACMANIA, the SEC, and it's doing its best to make sure it never happens again. |
0:17.2 | It's Thursday, January 25th. |
0:19.4 | Let's ride. This certainly got everyone talking yesterday. |
0:25.0 | John Stewart is returning to the Daily Show on Comedy Central. |

1:15.0 | viral cycle that will boost some of these clips even further than his like viral |
1:20.0 | clips from the days gone by. So I do think it's relevant. It's an election year. |
1:24.4 | John Stewart's kind of uniquely good at navigating the insanity of these of |
