Trump’s Republican Midterm Convention flops with low turnout, empty promises, and GOP behavior that is just straight up weird (we’re looking at you, Tim Scott). Michael Kosta dives into the highlights, including Trump’s pledge to give out $5,000 “dividends” if the GOP wins the House and Senate, the president’s unhelpful roast of Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton, and an onstage gavel that is just… too big. Plus, Desi Lydic hypes up the convention to Kosta, and even throws in some hand stuff. #DailyShow #GOP #Trump #Texas #TimScott

Dallas was where JFK was murdered!
I'm down with america
Desi's innate positivity makes the senile one lying about a $5000 dividend check seem sweet.
Dallas earned that unenthusiastic woo.
vote: The attempt to bribe voters is a federal crime.
Yes or no
@2:30 Literally Terry Crews in idiocracy 😂😂
Kosta is funny. Just sayin.
We can see the gas prices on the board, banning the news wont help at this point.
JD Dunce said: “Give us one more chance.”
America: “No Thanks!!”
This $5000 bribe is added to the DOGE rebate and tariff rebate…none will ever materialize!!
Looks like "dolaaand trump" has learnt something from his "fraaaand"
It's OK to pay for actor protesters.
The real funny joke is that people think dems are better choice. All in on 2030 agenda. Nobody on your side my side. We're on our side. That's it. Fixed every election. This guy is dem globalist bought paid for blackrock
36% is higher than the number who voted for him when “won” the last election “in a landslide,” so he should think of himself as the favourite at the moment. Admittedly, Elon’s vote is worth a lot more than a few percent so perhaps it won’t be a “landslide” this time
The gaslighting from Republicans is off the charts!
As a truck driver, i picked up a flatbed trailer at lot f from this convention. all the lots were EMPTYYY…
Democrats bribe voters all the time with promises like giving teachers a raise or social security recipients more money. The Trump offer is just on a grander scale. It amounts to $10,000.00 for a married couple. That buys a lot of groceries and gasoline.
The literal definition of bribery and election interference in the same sentence…… I wonder how MAGA would react if Obama had done that….. (insert brain aneurysm)
Calling someone extreme and weird, while being extreme and weird is absolutely diabolical…
Can we pay 5k to get rid of this clown
“You’re fired!”
$5,000 in blood money.
taco is the most out of touch leader since nero…and why aren't journalists asking taco face to face about previous promises not kept…shameful
Did Tim Scott glitch and reboot in real time?
Sick burn, Ken
The juice are ruining this country. I'm not a democrat, but I can still see that. Something has to be done to get things back on track. Both of these parties are making massive mistakes. Something revolutionary. Also we need term limits so they're not wheeling near death bed level geriatrics around the senate floor. We paid for this. Dude cant even vote, talk about a Dereliction of duty. He'll be gone January of 27 also the blonde lady is cringe asf 😂
It's Genesis 1:27
america you have get trump out of power
$5000 for iVoter phone model
JAMES TALARICO will win TEXAS at a big difference
If Trump can giving hand stuff to all Americans, then I think he deserves to be the President.
Plus his tiny hands make everything big.
not sure youcould call America a democracy any more. which is sad. i really hope November changes it. but i am out of hope
A TRInity is, by definition, non-BInary.
yankee regime (gop or dems) is a DISGRACE for the planet
Will we be receiving it after our $2000 DOGE check?
2:43 there are like 750 people in that crowd
Dude who is that republicans like a Saturday night live sketch
Sure, $5k. After tariffs and high prices taking say $10k from each of us, he gets a cut off the top, needs his own space program, oh hang on, I know, we're paying you in crypto coins. It's OK, they're coins, they're all SUPPOSED to have the same ID number. Oh wait, Hillary's emails are keeping us from sending them to you…
someone needs to ask trump directly, if America is making so much money and the debt is continuing to rise, where is the money going?
"Tim" Scott? It's not Tom? Huh… Coulda fooled me…
It’s going to arrive the same day as our doge check and our tariff check! Also how is this not bribery?
What'cha gonna do when democracy runs wild on you.
How bad you have to be to lick Trumps boots and still don’t get at list a nice description
That is less than 100 dollar a week for one year, a little more the 1.5-1.65 trillion dollars depending how many people are receiving the check 300 million equals 1.5 trillion. It would be better if it was invested into things like public services and infrastructure to actually enriching the American people like housing, affordable energy, transportation and healthcare. You know the amount of money POTUS and the Republicans said we couldn’t afford.🎉you played yourself MAGA.
Ken Paxton has the charisma of an under the floor mat fry.
36% still approving of that imbecile is inexcusable.
