- Polls show that many Democrats are less than enthusiastic about voting for Joe Biden, but not this guy. Troy Iwata meets Biden's (only?) superfan and gets his advice for pumping up Biden supporters, and maybe pumping up Biden, himself. #DailyShow #Biden #Trump #Election

Troy Iwata is such a great addition to this team. Great work, Troy!
Troy reminds me of Randy Rainbow. Great presenter/entertainer sartorial choice.
Exactly what I was gonna say!
@@rosejames8057
Great dress sense too:))
Was literally about to write the exact same thing!
@@rosejames8057 ...but better. Dials back the camp just a touch, I find Randy a bit much to handle even in small doses.
Wait... joking aside, this is exactly who we need doing the rounds on social media. Not classical media, they pigeon hole, but seriously. So well-put together, composed, eloquent. You killed it Dakota. Even though it was supposed to be a joke that "you will save" Biden or whatever they said, with messaging like "he came out of retirement to save this country" you are really doing great work.
Okay... maybe some work on the "how to convince someone who isn't enthused" but still! Haha, but really, the effort is appreciated.
he didn't save the country and always wanted to be president
Your lack of judgement is why Trump is going to win by a landslide against idiot Harris.
Do better.
I lived a long time and “boring”, “unexciting”, and “normal” is exactly what you want in the White House. You want the person who does the work, and does it well, without expectation of fanfare. Being chased through the corn maze by a guy with a chainsaw everyday on your way to and from work is “exciting” but it’s no way to live. Hop in a minivan, pick up your coworkers, and go around the maze.
The reason we are not excited by Biden is not because he's a boring guy without drama. It's because he represents the status quo and that is not exciting. We want change, we want progress.
Do you want Tyranny and fascism instead?
@@appaatemomo-freePalestine How have you missed all the progress that’s been made? Are you expecting to be teleported to your goal result without taking the necessary steps, aka “progress”?
@@tcherrington I want democracy and freedom, so I’m voting for Joe.
Well-said
why do we need to be a "fan" of any politician to vote for them? Voting for a president is not the same as voting for an "American Idol" contestant. unfortunately, democracy has deteriorated into an "American Idol" contest
It really is American Idolatry. The president is not just a fellow citizen using the office temporarily to make the world a better place as a public servant. No, he's literally worshipped and had golden statues created in his image.
You know what, this Dakota guy actually restores just the smallest amount of faith in humanity for me. There's at least one other rational, sane human being on the planet, and I appreciate him being him.
I don't want excitement. I don't want an entertainer. I don't want a criminal. I don't want a cult leader. I want a president. That's why I'm supporting President Joe Biden in 2024.
Exactly what you said!!!❤
Exactly ❤ who want the politics to be excited anyways. It’s supposed to be boring and dry but things will be done
Yes, not a "LYING CON-MAN, RACIST AND A TRAITOR."
If you don't want a criminal then you should probably vote for someone who has never set foot in D.C.
okay
Troy is brilliant. 'The Daily Show' knows how to pick 'em.
Yay, and now the daily show has one and a half Asian representation: Troy and Ronnie
Do you like democracy?
That's really what it comes down to, doesn't it?
True dat!!!!
@@annjohnson8437 UA-cam is literally offering to translate your post to English.
@@stephenderry9488
And it “works” too!
Well, democracy in the US. Also, Ukraine. Not so much in israel.
Democracy is cool til I don't get what I want
Troy is brilliant. I can see him hosting The Late Night or his own show. Love his humor.
He can sing too!! ❤
Politics is not meant to be exciting. It is not meant to be celebrity show or cult.
Much respect for Joe Biden ❤ US is blessed to have him as president.
This. Yes!
Ideally, we should be excited for the beneficial results our politics bring about, not the politics itself. I am excited by single payer healthcare. I don't particularly care who does it, but I'm going to cast my vote to whomever is most likely to make it possible.
@@andiward7068 Not trying to tell you how to vote, just commenting to remind you of the potential danger of making one issue the crux of your decision, even a very important issue. In reality, I doubt you neglect the surrounding context.
@@chinkasuyaro8983 that was meant as a specific example, not the only issue I consider. I just meant, it's not who's winning/won that's supposed to be exciting, but rather the potential change they bring. Excitement has lost all negative or neutral connotations. "Feel strongly" is a more accurate expression of what makes people vote.
Asylum seekers aren't so blessed...Palestinians aren't so blessed...
Nobody was excited about Joe the last time around, but people will still vote for him since it means stopping trump from being president,
He passed so many important bills that I am excited.
Polls suggest no...
Do you know ANYBODY that has taken these said polls? I don't. No one I know does either. So who's getting polled? Russians?
@HappyHubris
Polls can lie @HappyHubris
I agree but just make sure to still go vote
I don't NEED to be excited about a presidential candidate. I want an intelligent, compassionate, competent person who surrounds themself with people like that. It's not entertainment, it's not a popularity contest, it's government
When we say "excited", we mean about what they intend to do with their power. Joe Biden is the status quo candidate. We are not excited about what he will do with his power.
I am. Look what he did with it in his first year!
Exactly! If you want something exciting, watch a sporting event. Politics shouldn’t be a sporting event.
make government boring again!
@@appaatemomo-freePalestinethis is exactly it. It's why Hilary lost. She was the establishment!
I do not need my President to be exciting and entertaining. I just need him or her to be competent and capable to deal with the issues that need to be dealt with.
I need the President to be compassionate and have empathy for people. People need to stop acting like a President is supposed to be a stand-up comedian to entertain us.
Focus on policies like the last young man in this skit did because THAT is what is most important. Biden / Harris 2024 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Thank you. Best president in my lifetime. 😊💙
@@AbigailAwesome69 Same here.
@@havable blue tsunami, incoming 💙🤗🇺🇸
Yeah his border policy has been fantastic.
He has soooo much compassion and empathy for the people at the border...
So refreshing to see someone who is focused on all the right aspects of Biden !
This was fantastic. Thank you for giving a platform to an articulate Biden supporter -- the first one I've seen on television who was given the chance to explain, without being mocked, why a voter would want to vote for Biden. I want to live in a democracy too. So I too think Biden should be my candidate.
Dakota Galban is right (minus the cardboard cutouts).
I wish I could think of the enemy for Big Cutout, because I’d make a fun and engaging joke for us to share.
I like how people think false dichotomy = democracy lol
He displays them to advertise his Biden shirts I think . Not weird.
In 2020 we voted for Biden because he was the best option to beat Trump.
He was a "back to normalcy" vote.
We can wait until 2028 to be excited about who's the president.
We probably already know who running in 2028 for Republicans.
I’m excited about Joe. His policy accomplishments, experience, and leadership skills are what is important in these times, not whether he is a showboat.
@@gamerfan8445
There are a few possibilities, but Trump isn't one of them.
If he wins this year, he's not eligible in 2028 without a constitutional amendment. If he loses this year, then his court cases will be able to catch up with him and he'll be a felon; possibly incarcerated.
@@gamerfan8445please no trump anymore please I can’t take another 4 years of him running for president again 😂😂😂
Why we talking about who running for 2028? Everyone know the answers to that if Trump lose yet again in 2024. Trump will also run in 2032, 2036, 2040...etc... basify it going be a long scam of Trump milking his base.
I’m w/ Dakota! I am looking forward to 4 more years of President Joe Biden.
It's joever
I love Joe Biden too !❤😂 Thank you for looking at him based on his work instead of his age or silly superficial stuff.
Does his support and funding of a genocide in Gaza bother you at all?
@TheSlippytongue it does, but voting for Trump won't make it better, nor will it help me with the current struggle I face in America. People die everywhere, Hati, Libya, etc. Every country that faces this should bother us all, but it don't..
I was so happy when he was asked "What excites you about Biden" and he answered "His policies." This is what politics used to be about. Even a "superfan" with a cardboard cutout of him gets it. Meanwhile, on the other side... 🤦♂🙄🤮
@@youlittlewitchyou I'm not saying you should vote for Trump. I would never vote for Trump. But by saying you "love" Biden, you're sending the message that his unwavering support of the Israeli onslaught doesn't really bother you that much. People in Haiti, Libya, and other countries don't die as a result of U.S. funds and weapons sent to the people committing the atrocities. People in Gaza ARE being killed thanks to U.S. tax dollars. That is the very clear, simple, and factual distinction here.
What bothers me is what Netanyahu,(Isreal’sTrump), is doing to decimate Palistinians. Netanyahu wants Trump to win He knows Dems will blame Biden for everything thing Netanyahu does to the Palestinians. Isreal is an ally of the US, the only democracy that protects the rights of women and LGBTQ in the region.
Biden has been doing a ton to try to get Netanyahu to stop. He went to Isreal in person during a war to try to stop Netanyahu from doing a ground invasion. He urged restraint. Netanyahu blew him off. Netanyahu knew he had enough weapons already in stock to do this war. He also knew if Biden took too hard of a line against Isreal he could lose an election and Trump would return to office.
American Foreign policy is not built by one president. Trump did things like make the illegal settlements legal and moved our embassy to Jerusalem and supported far right ultra nationalists in Isreal. The Israelis were ready to get rid of corrupt Netanyahu because he was trying to change the judicial system to stay in power. Netanyahu was so focused on quelling domestic dissent that he missed the signals for the Hamas terroristvattack. In fact Netanyahu, funded Hamas to keep it as a counter weight to the Palestinian Authority.
Biden can’t do what you want him to without causing other harm. Foreign policy is like a Jenga game. Trump removed a lot of pieces recklessly. Now if anything topples Biden gets blamed. Do you know how close it’s come to the whole region becoming a war zone. Do you truly think that by blaming Biden and not voting for him that if Trump wins the Palistinians will benefit? Trump loyalist Linsey Graham was calling for Isreal to nuke Gaza. Trump imposed a Muslim ban at the beginning of his term.
Biden is working for a Palestinian state and to rebuild Gaza. Trump or RFKjr would never do that.
Biden is not the cause of this genocide. Hamas is sacrificing its own people and Netanyahu is committing war crimes. Biden keeps trying to stop it. Help him out. Isreal would listen if Biden was perceived as having the backing of Americans. Netanyahu has made a grave mistake, he has turned young Americans against Isreal. I hope young Americans don’t make the mistake of aiding Netanyahu by allowing Trump to be re-elected.
The key question is how you FEEL about Biden. Using emotions instead of intelligence is the worst way to vote.
I mean statistically speaking the ones that call people snowflakes don't tend to be on the greater portion of the diploma divide
I’m so glad the show brought this guy on. He’s so funny! Sharp, creative!
I want to be bored by politics again.
Probably the most important comment.
Why do so few people care about actual policies?
We're a soundbite society. If it doesn't get eyes on a screen, it doesn't get talked about. And policy is generally not spicy or flashy.
Bc that would involve nuance, which leads to gray areas. The masses tend to lean towards extremes and don't like to campaign for gray areas.
The simple answer - not enough intellect and willingness to think. Policies are pretty complex, and from this viewpoint, boring and require thinking in the long-term conditions.
Most people live like there is no tomorrow and then they have a problem with "inflation."
If they were willing to rethink their habits and plan their life at least a bit, most wouldn't have half of their current financial problems.
(I have a couple of friends who are textbook examples of that, so I know what I am talking about. And then it's necessary to look for a culprit of their problems, of course... And lucky them - they found him in our current president😞.)
I'm with Dakota!
HE CAME OUT OF RETIREMENT TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY.!! He really did.
President Biden has a FANTASTIC record of policies, is loved by our international allies, an AMAZING economic record, and has helped students with their college debts and seniors with lowering costs of heathcare!
Trump is Project 2025 - Autocracy for America!!!
The choice is easy... we will choose Democracy. We will vote for President Biden 2024!!! 🤎🤍💙
He’s the best. 😊
Helped our allies? Do you mean genociding children and old ladies? And my loan interest rates just went up another percent to borrow for fixed interest gov loans to 8% with interest accruing immediately. I don't vote republican but actually getting up in a morning in November and voting for this bozo is smooth brain activities
Justice 40 not project 25 ❤❤❤❤
I mean, I'm not a fan of genocide.
@@Desdinova04I hear you, but this genocide would have happened on Trump’s watch, too. And a third party vote/not voting is too risky.
Young man is exactly right.
No.
@@chahinebourenane6291 Yes.
Wow I really like this guy. Dakota for campaign organizer 💪😂
That look of disappointment on Troy's face upon learning Dakota (already) has a boyfriend. 😊
he was thinking, world's not fair :))
Not so much "You have a boyfriend...?" as "YOU have a boyfriend...?"
I like to imagine that Troy is Dakota's boyfriend. It fits.
1:53 wow. He is actually very quick on the spot & off the cuff with strangers!🎉 Please have more on the street interviews with random people!
Wow. The Biden superfan was giving Troy Iwata straight back to Troy Iwata. Funniest thing I've seen all year.
Nice to see a guy paying attention.
finally a person tat judges Biden on his actions and not just his age
And when it comes to age…one is 77 and one is 81. These are the choices as far as age. Not a great difference. However, when you look at EVERYTHING ELSE! the differences are ENORMOUS!
There is no choice but Joe Biden!
Guys like Troy and Dakota scare Retrumplicans more than anything else. 🤣
Biden was and is not my first choice for President but I will enthusiastically vote against trump by voting for Biden.
and you are exactly what is wrong with America.
How this young man sounds more sensible than 3/4 of the nation?
I'd say at more sensible than at least 20% (say, just pulling a random number, 78 million people)
Only sounds sensible to other morons. Sounds deluded to people with a clue.
Would it be possible that the answer to your question is - he, in contrast to many Americans, thinks...?
Biden super-fan. I like my government boring and incremental.
These people don't know how successful President Joe Biden has been for America.
Apart from losing the country's standing on the world stage because he keeps lying in order to keep doing a genocide
For who?????
@@elainehewitt6813
Look up his record, Elaine.
100%. He's been the most effective President in my lifetime, and I was born in 1965.
Because they don't want to know. Ignorants!
Troy is doing amazing. The Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su joke is 😂
I'm also a Biden superfan. He's been one of the most progressive presidents in a long time, and he's what we need to defeat Donald Trump.
I love him too.
probably one of the weaker candidates, but still better than Trump. that isnt saying much though, trump is terrible
He doesn't get enough credit, but the most progressive? He is in a tough spot and he's my guy, but don't ask me to get excited
Isn't Bernie Sanders just as progressive but way more coherent and awake while doing speeches? I don't know much about US politics so please educate me if I'm wrong.
@@tripwire4727 No need to get excited, as long as you vote blue. That’s enough for me. I’ll be excited on your behalf. Deal. 🤝
As an oldish, straight, white, but progressive guy, I can honestly say that this was perfect, more please!!!
People's dislike for Biden has nothing to do with him being old, straight, or white. Bernie is very popular and is all those things.
Bernie was attacked for all those things when he was running.
Bernie is Jewish, so slightly more diverse than just White
I would much rather have Joey than Donny.
@@JecoopsterI knew if Bernie ran against trump in 2016 he would crash him. Democrats literally didn’t let him win even though he did. I hated them for that. But I am so happy to see he didn’t give up and still going strong to at least get his ideas done by Biden. I think Biden understands that Bernie was right about many things
Bernie tells people what they want to hear but doesn't tell them he doesn't have a magic wand that can make it all happen. Joe Biden is forced to deal with the system we have and what we can realistically do about it. And Biden has made headway toward a number of progressive goals against incredibly difficult odds.
Ok, Dems need to reach out to people like him, what a great, concise way of communicating
I love how Troy is very much in the category of Jon Stewart or John Oliver in the way he uses more of his face and body and is more overdrawn in his reactions
I love all the people at the daily show but Troy definitely stands out
also: BF material.
Agree with you. Desi is great for this too, she’ll do the wacky faces and close-ups and whatever the bit takes. It elevates her and Troy above Michael Kosta, Roy, and even Jordan Klepper to some extent (Klepper has the quick wit and verbal sparring and Everyman vibe and lots of other things going for him mind you).
I'm not a Biden superfan, but given everything he accomplished in his first 2 years, he has over performed what I expected in 2020, and I know he will accomplish so much more If we can get the house back to some level of normalcy
Yay, Troy! Love him.
I don’t need to be excited about a President. I just want a President to be as normal and boring as possible. Someone adult with common sense.
Absolutely ❤❤ I don’t want to know the names of all cabinet members, post office people or whatever as I knew when orange man was president
I love following politics but I can’t want to sit at the edge of my seat when my president is talking 😅
When we say 'excited' about a president we don't mean so much that they'd be fun to hang out with or something. It's more about what they intend to do with their power.
Absolutely nailed it! Thank you!
Well said! 👏
Yeah, someone who doesn't alienate his core base in order to support a genocide.
Way to go, Dakota Galban! I love Joe Biden too!
Same
For real, Troy is incredible
Biden-curious 😂😂😂
Troy is becoming the first reason I click on a video in this channel 😂 every single piece he’s done has been awesome
Troy Iwata was hilarious in this segment 😂
I'll be 62 near election day, and I'm voting for President Biden.
I would love to have a younger candidate(Buttigieg), but we don't, so stop complaining and vote for Biden as if your life depends on it because it does.
Or perhaps someone who isn't another establishment neoliberal?
Fired up about Biden... OH NOT LIKE THAT
Caught me off guard😂
Where did you get the only informed voter in America?
Informed? U mean the only person satisfied with the status quo?
@@Fifthelement203No, the only person who actually knows enough to name things Biden has passed
You're either a Bot or an idiot?
@@Fifthelement203 You can be informéd and be unsatisfied. That’s not what we see in thé US
This guy takes "Ridin' with Biden" to a whole new level.
Clicked on this video just for Troy. Never fails to make me laugh!
The chips and salsa act….that was perfect.
I guess I’m now a Dakota Galban super fan. So if he’s voting for Joe, then so am I.
I admit Biden wasn't my first choice in the 2020 Primaries (he didn't even make my top 5...though his VP did), but I proudly voted for him in November 2020...and will proudly do so again this November)
I feel the same way about Jon Stewart, he came out of retirement to save political satire (& democracy).
At least Joe has actually followed thru on his promises.
He has also chosen his cabinet members wisely.
I don't know if I've ever seen another superfan more likeable than this guy. Think about it, even when you're a fan of that thing the superfan is a fan of, you're still partly creeped out. He was brilliant! Totally bringing the superfan knowledge & energy, but with exactly the right tone to be convincing yet seemingly unthreatened or cajoling. Thanks Troy for your typically epic work & thanks team!
We only have two options, and Biden is clearly the better choice.
300 million+ people, and these are your best and only options? What a well functioning democracy.
@@Alex-lp6bg It gets narrowed down to two. Other people ran. Still more could have run. They didn't.
@@Alex-lp6bg In Russia they only have one choice for who to vote for. If you don't vote for that guy, the secret police come and take you away.
dont forget about Brainworm Kennedy!
Hopefully once Trump is gone forever, America can focus on actually making progress rather than just weathering the storm.
Biden should open with a jab like, “After Rip Van Winkle spent over a month on a sleepover in the courtroom, I certainly hope he got enough rest and can stay awake to debate me tonight,” follow up with, “It’s pretty chilly in here, Don, so do you need a blanket for your naptime during the commercial break? Who knows? Maybe he’ll do a sponsored ad for My Pillow on his podium?” and close with, “With all that said, I don’t think Americans want Sleeping Beauty on the job.”
All the new correspondents are amazing.
This is hilarious and surprisingly informative at the same time.
Troy has a captivating personality 😎
I have that shirt. That super fan has the right ideas!
How about the money plans and work begun on highspeed rail; money to forgive student debt; support for Ukraine; anti-fascist ethics; and continuing to push for universal healthcare ?
Support unions, clean energy, amazing fabrication jobs ❤❤❤
Lol plans are tight
I love this man! I agree with him!
Ppl just need to accept that the choices we have are just between terrible and mediocre, and that choosing mediocre is still better than terrible.
“Mediocre and dull is far better than exciting and terrible.”
This is the greatest truth of our times. I just hope enough sentient Americans will vote in support of this truth in November.
I think Joe Biden is extraordinary
I have not enjoyed Iwata’s in-studio segments much, but he’s definitely showing strong potential for “field pieces”. This one is solid.
Honestly, I *want* my politicians to be boring. I know it's great to get enthused about someone you think is going to change the world, but, in truth, I'd rather just have a really dull person that gets on with the tough, often bureaucratic job of running the country.
Biden is changing the world! His administration's environmental and other policies definitely do! And he is not even that boring, but he gets the job done and has results!
More Troy Iwata. He cracks me up! Love him!
I love Joe Biden! Biden Economics is revolutionary. I sincerely hope he gets a chance to finish what he started. Re-elect Biden🇺🇲💙
"A famous Corgi on Instagram I'm not aware of". 🤣😂😁😁💯
Troy is great.
Why must there be excitement? I have heard that the truest form of happiness is contentment.
Joe Biden for four more years!
Ack I thought I was his biggest superfan!!!!
Let's see YOUR cardboard cutouts...
I'm actually pretty excited about Joe too.
lol after watching this video with clips of an elderly man struggling to complete a full sentence, some people in the comments went "Yep, that's my candidate!"
They're either bots or people that need to have their voting rights taken away from them
We’ve seen the same with the other elderly candidate, who also happens to be a deranged, grifting, neofascist.
So yeah, Biden is my candidate.
I’m an independent but I’d Biden could be in hospice care and as long as I knew he was for Democracy I’d vote for him. (I don’t wanna be here to witness it but I’m interested to see if that other guy gets in office and then doesn’t leave after 4 years what are they gonna do?)
Jr.
"Oh my gosh, there's an older one?" 🤣🤣
Please provide more content involving Troy Iwata!
So many bots...
Presidents are supposed to be boring and predicable. I love this Dakota fellow. I hope everything works out between him and his boyfriend.
Disgusting
Vote for Biden-Harris.
Troy is awesome. He's quickly becoming my favorite correspondent. Kosta has upped his game too. I used to not like him, but he's been doing a great job hosting lately. Maybe the Daily Show is coming back to its former glory!
Y'all Americans need an actual left, workers party, guild oriented wing
It’s not about voting for the person. It’s about voting on Policy.
Love Dakota!💙
I could totally get behind the "Chips & Salsa Act". 😂
Idk I’m genZ and I’m a fan
Thanks for that!! It's a sad, hard truth, but somehow, we NEED to break through to more people, esp college students protesting Israel and/or Gaza that Chump is far worse and not the answer and that everyone who loves America, freedom and democracy NEEDS TO VOTE BLUE!!!
I will not vote for genocide.
"His policies. Really?? I can't think of any, so go off, sis." 🤣
Love me some Troy Iwata.
Also, I don't want a President who's flashy or loud a jokester, etc. I want a President who's capable and caring and intelligent, etc.
I, too, am a super Biden fan.
0:51 could you rate your enthusiasm for Biden compared to “some really beautiful latte art“ ☕️. WOW. VERY funny. 😆 (& pain rating scale.)
Love how the daily show - every single person we see on the screen - is phenomenal. Hope the writers are well paid !!
I got it! Biden needs to campaign on Keeping America The Same! KATS 😂
Yet he has passed so much awesome legislation in his first time, as opposed to his opponent, who literally only passed tax cuts for billionaires.
"Bi-den Curious"? None of us are going to talk about that top-shelf wordplay?!
