Description

The U.S.-Venezuela conflict escalates as the Department of Homeland Security TikTok-ifies the seizing of an oil tanker, and Trump can't resist taking credit for the “Captain Phillips” moment. Plus, the State Department bans the font Calibri for being “too woke,” and Michael Kosta unpacks the new beef between conservatives and the font's creator. #DailyShow #MichaelKosta #Venezuela #Fonts 0:00 - Michael Kosta's TDS Welcome 0:21 - U.S. Seizes a Venezuelan Oil Tanker 2:33 - Venezuela's President Responds to Overtaking of Tanker 3:46 - Marco Rubio Says, "No More Woke Fonts," Ditches Calibri 9:10 - Ronny Chieng Weighs in on the Font Culture War Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

The regime is like, "People hate us. Everyone thinks we're unhinged lunatics who want to take away their healthcare and kidnap veterans and deport them. Do you think it's the font?"

4:40 - Don't forget: The Orange Man once told his staff to get rid of braille in Trump Tower (which was required by NYC Code) because "I don't want these people living here". So nothing new there, he always had it out for the visually impaired.
