This week's host Michael Kosta is joined by Daily Show writer and producer Matt O'Brien to recap the latest news, and preview what's to come. They cover the confusing nature of the US-Iran ceasefire and accompanying meme war, the price hikes for World Cup train tickets, President Trump's executive order to accelerate psychedelic drug treatments for veterans and the animal rights activists storming a beagle research facility like the beaches of Normandy. Looking ahead they discuss how we're letting the earth down for Earth Day, and the absurdity of the Trump tariff refund portal. -- Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/the-daily-show/ The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
