Welcome to Daily Joe with Cindy Lydick.
2
We've got so much to talk about tonight.
3
Trump drains the White House press pool.
4
New Jersey continues to be a parody of itself.
5
And it's the U .N.
6
General Assembly when all the world's countries come together to see if they can get a guest spot on Subway Takes.
7
So let's get into the headlines.
8
As everyone knows by now, Donald Trump bans several news outlets whose coverage he hates,
9
including MS Now, Politico, CNN, and Salad Digest.
10
By now, all those news outlets are gone, except for CNN, who left behind a suspicious new janitor named Bolf Glitzer.
11
You get that story, Bolf.
12
This is obviously a sad story, especially for female journalists.
13
I mean, where are they gonna find someone to insult their looks and call them piggy now?
14
What's that?
15
Oh, the entire Internet?
16
Oh, that's great.
17
So now, in an act of solidarity, all the TV networks have pulled their coverage and boycotted White House events.
18
Yes.
19
Even Fox News joined the boycott.
20
Fox News!
21
Yeah.
22
The channel whose lead story last night was President Has Mastiff Hog.
23
This is the smartest thing Fox News has done since tricking Trump into taking Pete Hegseth away from them.
24
But while the media is all ghosting him, I'm sure that won't stop President Trump from getting the word out.
25
Let's see if we can pick up some of the sound from President Trump here in the new helipad.
26
Okay, so there is no microphone because...
27
There's no microphone because the pool cameras aren't there.
28
Oops!
29
Whoopsie, I'm sorry.
30
You're gonna have to speak up.
31
I can't hear you over the sound of you stepping on your own dick.
32
I gotta say, it is so peaceful not hearing his voice.
33
I mean, I can finally be alone with my thoughts.
34
I got a lot going on up there.
35
But while the major networks boycotted Trump's helipad reveal, we here at The Daily Show were able to obtain exclusive audio of what he said.
36
Because the president's words matter.
37
And the American people deserve to hear the important things that he's saying.
38
Did anyone ever tell you guys you look like the village people?
39
What a great band.
40
And they weren't all gay, by the way.
41
Just muscly.
42
YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW,
43
YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW,
44
with a line of ankle girdles.
45
What Trump needs right now is a little pick -me -up.
46
Maybe he needs to spend some time with someone he loves.
47
No, not her.
48
No, not them.
49
Come on, I'm talking about the person who's the wallpaper on his phone.
50
President Trump met with New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani at Gracie Mansion.
51
Though they're on opposite ends of the political world, obviously, they actually appeared friendly yesterday.
52
I want him to be a great mayor, AND HE'S CERTAINLY GOT POTENTIAL, GOT GREAT POTENTIAL.
53
SO HOPEFULLY YOU'RE GOING TO BE A GREAT ONE.
54
I 'LL BE ABLE TO SAY YOU'RE GOING TO BE A GREAT ONE, AND YOU'RE OFF TO A START.
55
YOU'RE JUST SUCH A GREAT MAYOR, AND YOU 'VE DONE SO MUCH.
56
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
57
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY IT BACK, BUT I LOVE YOU, OKAY?
58
I JUST SAID IT.
59
I LOVE YOU.
60
EVERY TIME I SEE THESE TWO GUYS TOGETHER, IT REMINDS ME OF WHEN I SEE VIDEOS IN MY FEET OF RANDOM ANIMALS BEING FRIENDS.
61
Huh.
62
The cat knows the duck is a Muslim socialist, right?
63
I'm not the only one confused by their relationship.
64
Mr. Mayor, there aren't too many Democrats who would roll out the red carpet for Donald Trump.
65
The president said that he hopes that you'll be a great mayor.
66
I wonder what your thoughts are about that.
67
I want to ask a little bit about how this meeting came about.
68
Could you tell us a little more?
69
Did you invite him?
70
Did you reach out to him? and what did you guys do inside?
71
Did you show him around?
72
Did you show him what's new?
73
Yeah, follow up.
74
What is with you two?
75
I.. what is happening here?
76
The press is acting the same way I do when my hottest friend dates someone weird -looking.
77
So he's funny, right?
78
Or has he already paid off his house?
79
Now, as much as Trump and Mom Donnie were all buddy -buddy, there was one important constitutional matter where they differed.
80
What's your response to President Trump banning outlets from the White House grounds?
81
You know, I -I told the president, uh, that we're gonna have all of the members of the press here on the lawn, and that is something that I believe in as everyone,
82
no matter the opinion or the critique, that we engage.
83
And I don't know, Mr. President.
84
It's interesting because, uh, they said they were gonna boycott me, but they never boycott me.
85
So I wasn't very worried about that.
86
Look at all that press.
87
Two very different approaches to the First Amendment here.
88
It's a real good cop constitutional crisis cop situation.
89
Mondani's like, I believe in the free press, and Trump's like, tell me how my ass tastes.
90
They didn't just come to New York to bro out with Mondani.
91
It's the U .N.
92
General Assembly this week, so he'll be meeting with leaders from all around the world to try to solve all the problems caused by himself.
93
One of the biggest problems right now is A .I., which many experts worry is on the brink of wiping out humanity.
94
Luckily, at his speech, Trump offered a solution.
95
The United States also totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control
96
for the artificial intelligence here and after officially called superintelligence, changing the name.
97
I mean, that's a relief.
98
Here, I was scared of artificial intelligence, but now I'd be honored to be murdered by super intelligence.
99
Problem solved.
100
Whoo!
101
But, okay, let's not focus entirely on renaming AI when there's other pressing issues facing the world.
102
From this point forward, all of United States documents, and hopefully the worlds, will be changed to use the much more accurate term super,
103
as opposed to artificial.
104
So it's super intelligence.
105
In other words, welcome to the new world of super intelligence dash SI.
106
SI.
107
Did you just say dash SI?
108
Speaking of super intelligence, congrats on reading the punctuation on the prompter.
109
Also, nobody's gonna say S .I.
110
That's already what we call Sports Illustrated.
111
It's taken.
112
You, of all people, should respect Sports Illustrated.
113
The Swimsuit Issue is your favorite book.
114
This is so embarrassing for America.
115
We're all used to Trump's weird obsession with rebranding things, but this is in front of the world.
116
It's the geopolitical version of your dad walking around in his underwear when your friends are over.
117
Oh, my God, Dad, Trinidad and Tobago can see your butt crack.
118
But Trump didn't spend the whole speech trying to make superintelligence happen.
119
He also spent plenty of time doing his usual routine, picking fights with as many countries as possible.
120
Cuba, where the communist regime is under great pressure, it's an absolutely failed state.
121
Mexico is the epicenter of the cartel violence.
122
The cowards and traitors would love to say the United States is low on munitions, But that's not true.
123
Do I annihilate the Islamic Republic?
124
Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope?
125
I have never seen someone so unbothered by the threat of annihilation.
126
Trump is ranting about destroying his country, and this man doesn't even look like he's paying attention.
127
Imagine what he must be thinking.
128
What are the odds?
129
And Iran's not the only one tired of the Trump schtick.
130
Look at how Cuba reacted to his threats.
131
It's failing like never before, and it will fall.
132
Marco Rubio is handling a negotiation.
133
He's deep into negotiations with Cuba, and let's see what happens.
134
We're not allowed a haven for foreign adversaries to threaten America.
135
And he just walked out.
136
I mean, do you know how embarrassing it is for somebody to walk out while you're threatening them?
137
Trump was like, you want to go?
138
And they were like, yeah, I do.
139
I'm very bored.
140
I do.
141
I want to go.
142
But I think it's very telling that even after spending the whole speech going aggro on the world, Trump still found time for his.. archest nemesis.
143
It's an honor to be here.
144
I'm surprised that CNN is here covering me.
145
You shouldn't be here.
146
You should not.
147
You should not be here covering me.
148
You said you weren't going to cover me.
149
You shouldn't be covering me.
150
OK, I say this as a woman, and with all due respect to women everywhere, but have you ever seen such a bitch?
151
Such a bitch.
152
This here is what the press ban is about.
153
It's what all the U .N threats are about.
154
Yes, this man is a wannabe authoritarian, but he's also a wannabe real housewife.
155
Kicking fights wherever he goes, whenever he can, because he's a messy bitch who lives for the drama. So, look...
156
If you're worried about what Trump might do when the cameras aren't on him, don't be.
157
Because this thirsty attention slut would never let that happen.
158
After all, without the media there to fight with, Trump would have to be alone with his own thoughts, whatever those are.

Perché praticare a parlare con questo video?

Questo video è perfetto per il shadow speech e per imparare l'inglese con i video grazie al suo linguaggio colloquiale, alle battute ironiche e alle situazioni reali (come gli eventi politici). La conversazione fluida e gli espressioni informali aiutano a capire l'intonazione e il ritmo dell'inglese parlato, fondamentali per migliorare la pronuncia e la confidenza. Inoltre, il contesto vario (dalle notizie alla satira) ti permette di esercitarti con diversi registri, utile per la comunicazione quotidiana.

Grammatica e espressioni nel contesto

  • "Trump drains the White House press pool": L'uso di "drains" (svuota) in un contesto figurativo. Insegnante: Osserva come i verbi comuni prendono significati specifici in contesti giornalistici. Pratica a usare "to drain" in frasi come "The team drained all the resources".
  • "New Jersey continues to be a parody of itself": "To be a parody of itself" (essere una parodia di sé stesso) è un'espressione idiomatica per descrivere qualcosa di esagerato o ridicolo. Esercizio: Crea frasi su città o personaggi famosi, esempio "That show is a parody of itself now".
  • "Who left behind a suspicious new janitor named Bolf Glitzer": L'uso di "left behind" (ha lasciato dietro) e il nome buffo ("Bolf Glitzer") per la satira. Nota come la comicità si basa sulla combinazione di fatti reali e esagerazioni. Pratica a creare battute simili con nomi inventati.

Trappole di pronuncia comuni

Nel video, alcuni vocaboli possono creare difficoltà:

  • "Mamdani": La pronuncia corretta è /mæmˈdɑːni/, con l'accento sulla seconda sillaba. Attenzione a non pronunciare "Mam-dani" con l'accento sbagliato.
  • "Helipad": /ˈhelɪpæd/, con "heli" come in "elicottero" e "pad" come "tavola". Evita di dire "heli-pad" con due accenti.
  • "Janitor": /ˈdʒænɪtər/, non /dʒaˈnɪtɔːr/. La "j" è come in "gente" inglese, e la "o" finale è debole.
Per superarle, usa il shadowing in inglese: ascolta il video a ripetizione, imita il tono e la pronuncia, e confronta con il testo. Pagine come i shadowing site possono aiutarti a esercitarti in modo strutturato, ma anche ripetere il video direttamente è efficace per il shadowspeaks.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
