Jon Stewart: 我认为特朗普政府的早期行为与其竞选承诺相悖,并没有使美国变得更强大。特朗普政府对跨性别者、加拿大和格陵兰的敌对行为,以及与加拿大的贸易战,暴露了其对外政策的混乱和不一致性。对加拿大的贸易战是荒谬的,因为加拿大一直是美国可靠的盟友。特朗普政府的贸易战是基于对现有贸易协定的不实指控,并且通过表演性的姿态来解决。对多样性、公平与包容(DEI)的攻击是基于虚假的论点,即DEI降低了标准并损害了所谓的“精英统治”。对DEI的攻击实际上是掩盖了种族和性别等级制度的实际存在。在所谓的“精英统治”的幌子下,种族和性别等级制度依然存在。 Mo Amer: 我的Netflix剧集《Mo》真实地描绘了难民的经历,以及美国移民体系的荒谬之处。该剧探讨了无国籍和寻求政治庇护的复杂性,以及移民流程的荒谬之处。在创作过程中,我面临着巨大的压力,因为我是唯一一个讲述巴勒斯坦故事的人。我与Jon Stewart进行了深入的讨论,这对我来说非常重要。最终,我决定不直接讲述2023年10月7日发生的事件,因为这需要大量的背景知识,并且可能会使节目变得说教。相反,我选择让角色讲述故事,这最终引领我们走向了我们想要表达的主题。 The Daily Show Correspondents: 我们不应该对身份进行排名。然而,如果我们必须这样做,种族、性别、身高以及父亲拥有的企业数量将决定排名顺序。所谓的精英统治只是一种掩盖种族和性别等级制度的幌子。一旦涉及到H-1B签证和抢夺编码工作,精英统治的论调就会消失。

Shownotes Transcript

Jon Stewart examines Trump's attacks on trans people, Canada, and DEI as his first presidential orders of business and asks: How is that making America great again? Plus, the Best F**kin' News Team debate on where they rank in the DEI hierarchy.

Mo Amer, writer, stand-up comedian, and co-creator and star of “Mo,” sits down to discuss the second season of his Peabody Award-winning Netflix series, inspired by his own refugee experience. They discuss how the series explores the complexities of statelessness and asylum, the absurdities of the immigration process, and how he leaned on Jon for support while figuring out whether to talk about Oct. 7 on his show.
