Wow! This is perfect! Thank you, Daily Show, for helping America cope all these years! 🎉

[@MrStephenrtyler]

Sorry. Feels like, forever! Lol

[@TheCityofTownsville]

Paying for deterrence, is paying for peace. I love TDS and have loved TDS since Johnny's first first Tour of (desk) Duty. Everyone and every writer has been exceptionally capable of articulating nuanced opinions about everything, except, why we absolutely SHOULD purchase peace through the Arsenal of Democracy. I would rather pay $1,000 to buy peace over there, than buy it with 10 lives of American boys from here.

“Courage”

[@chenzen1578]

You don't get how very courageous it was to watch all those people die and all this destruction and do nothing so he could save his career!

[@miniharez]

oh tennessee is going to find out the hard way how stressful teaching is…I wouldn’t arm a teacher😬 you’re gonna end up with a worse problem

[@chenzen1578]

Yeah but the problem are not the guns - NEVER!!!

[@miniharez]

I think A A Ron is gonna get capped

[@rando6836]

Yes, peace. Because the cultures involved only respect strength and action, not bowing and capitulation. Obama gave Russia the reset button and they tried taking Ukraine, first by politics and then by proxy war in the East, and then by an invasion they lied and said would never happen.

[@antred11]

Yeah, I don't get this childish pseudo-pacifist BS he was peddling here. Peace does not come from throwing friends / allies under the bus to appease aggressors. Ukraine was invaded, and the U.S. was a signatory of the Budapest Memorandum; therefore helping Ukraine defend itself is just and right.

[@roan9914]

Peace through strength as we say

[@esbenm6544]

Courage would have been doing it 6 months ago. This is called buckling under pressure.

[@fernmoncrief6501]

Teachers have to go through training and a mental health check, while the kooks on the street do not have to meet these requirements?

[@hellyan35867]

Well to be fair, I think teachers could carry a gun outside of school without meeting the requirements.

If you don't understand how providing military aid to Ukraine promotes peace, you aren't paying attention.

[@Jackolantirn]

I think most sane people find supporting Ukraine to be acceptable... Aid sent to Israel will be harder to find acceptable.

[@martavdz4972]

Yeah, this topic was handled very poorly. They made it sound like the aid to Ukraine was wrong somehow, but it's old military equipment and a loan to a country whose babies and old people are being shelled and which is making WW3 less probable. Ukraine is a linchpin. If Ukraine falls, there's no guarantee Africa will get its grain, which might mean unrest and hunger (and even more immigrants to the U.S.) There's no guarantee the Middle East will gets its grain, and I don't need to tell you what that means. Russia will have potentially more courage to attack Europe. Europe will be scared and ramping up military production at the expense of other sectors, which means problems for the world economy. China will have more courage to attack Taiwan, which means problems with the microchip market, which basically means the world economy making a nosedive.

[@JohnDoe-pk2hs]

​@@Jackolantirn That's because that situation is infinitely more complex.

[@johntimmerman1515]

If you don't understand why giving more military aid to Israel moves us closer to WW3, YOU aren't paying attention.

[@nomore6167]

@@JohnDoe-pk2hs "That's because that situation is infinitely more complex" - It's not complex at all. Israel is engaged in genocide, full stop. They have admitted as much. For them, this is about genocide and a land grab. Ukraine is defending itself; Israel is not. Israel had the chance to do that, but decided to go the genocide/land grab route instead. Israel is the Russia of its war.

They really need to do more team stuff with Jordan and Ronny. This was the funniest thing they did since the year began.

Sorry, not feeling the world peace joke. I think the joke was ruined when u suggested that outlawing war can make world peace, like outlawing crimes can make crimes disappear.

[@antred11]

Yes, that was such a childish attempt at humor.

[@JediBearBob]

Peace is, in fact, the one with the tanks. The one without the tanks is a quick war followed by an interminable military occupation.

I liked Grace's bit here. I think she's figuring out her persona and/or the writers are. Several of her pieces have been more cringey than funny, but I've enjoyed her last couple of appearances. Kudos!

[@Lou-bg1xc]

This show is spot on, using comedy to depict between the right and the wrong, genius.

[@marianne1092]

[@PanOhChocolate]

[@satyasyasatyasya5746]

*Klepper beard is everything* 😍

[@NLTops]

Well, you know the old adage. "Si vis pacem, para bellum.", or in English "If you want peace, prepare for war.". Not helping Ukraine or Taiwan would help authoritarian regimes grow in strength, and everyone knows how peace-loving those dictatorial types are.

[@NLTops]

Also, those kids in Tennessee better not talk back to the teacher from now on... ya never know if they might be carrying and a teacher going postal on a class is way less fun with bullets.

[@Crow-Fly]

Jordan and Ronnie are amazing on their own, but they are incredible together! I would watch hours of this show if it was them together :)

[@monpayscanada]

I’m kind of loving this Klepper/ Chieng a la Jost/Che vibe

[@NewMessage]

I had more than one teacher who couldn't even figure out the projector, and they'd been teaching for decades. They'd call a kid up to get it going. Guns won't be any different... But when Trish gets picked as 'Teacher's Helper', she's gonna rule with an iron fist. "Teacher said pencils DOWN!" * hammer clicks *

[@chenzen1578]

How many jobs teachers do at the same time? They don't only teach, they educate children where their parents failed and in Tennessee they are now unpaid security guards.

[@fleurybreedin3682]

Totally get what Joe means. Helping Ukraine win is the first step to world peace. He signed a bill which will help them. If Ukraine loses World Peace is in jeopardy because of Russia. Use your brain guys!

[@sherrillsturm7240]

If you don't think giving aid to Taiwan and Ukraine promotes world peace, think of China taking over Taiwan and Russia occupying Europe and what "peace" that would look like. And, after 50 years as an educator, no teacher I know wants to carry a gun in school.
