The Daily Show: Ears Edition

Happy one-monthiversary of the Iran war! With the Strait of Hormuz still closed, Jon Stewart examines how global shortages are hitting everything from grain to helium to pickleballs. Meanwhile, Americans flood the streets for the No Kings protests while CPAC throws Trump his own Yassss Kings rally. Plus, the U.S. finally has a detailed explanation of the president's objectives and exit strategy... for the White House ballroom.

Attorney Cindy Cohn talks to Jon Stewart about her new book, “Privacy’s Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance,” and her work as executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which is the world’s biggest and oldest digital rights organization. She recounts the fight against sweeping government surveillance after 9/11, her reservations about internet regulations backfiring if placed in the wrong hands, and why the solution to these problems is a combination of comprehensive privacy law, revised business models of giant tech companies who make money off of user data, and more platform choices for individuals. “A world where there are five big media companies that decide everything that we see and how we see it… the answer isn’t to try to take a dictator and make them a better dictator. The answer is to get rid of the dictators and make them less important.”
