the midterm elections they're now just a
few weeks away and because of that we're
starting to see more and more news
stories about who's gonna vote who's not
gonna vote and why we headed to the
local University of California campus
Democrats hopes of winning here hinges
at least in part on turning out people
of color and young voters sorry not to
be annoying but we're with NBC News and
I'm just trying to figure out anybody
you're gonna vote in the election on
November 6th anybody anybody nobody's
gonna vote ok I don't know if that
proves nobody's gonna vote so much as it
proves people don't want to talk to some
random Creepo at the bus stop like if
anything all we've learned is that 20
years of teaching kids about stranger
danger has paid off that's it but but I
will say this this democracy pickup
artist he's actually getting at
something important right this guy's
he's onto something when it comes to
voting one crucial demographic is
unenthusiastic AF we always talk about
who's gonna come out and vote
you know what demographic what group
young people usually historically they
don't show up young people are the least
likely to vote young people as a group
don't vote in the numbers that older
folks do turnout among younger voters is
often below 30% in an election where
people in their 50s and 60s turnout at
50 to 60% turnout rates old people vote
twice as much as young people to me that
makes no sense because young people have
to live with the effects way longer like
if I was old I wouldn't care be gangster
about my votes yeah I just be like well
let's see what this Jill Stein is about
who gives a damn I got 5 years at best
yeah 3 years if I drink Lacroix let's do
it
so the question is why don't you people
want to go to the polls well to help us
get our heads around this we're proud to
announce our newest Daily Show edition
senior youth correspondent Djibouti
young whites everybody
great to have you here kabuki welcome to
the show alright let's get into it man
as young people we know that we should
be voting but we don't seem to be
enthusiastic enough so what can we do to
increase the turnouts
okay well first of all Trevor we're
gonna need to stop saying a week because
you're old Typhoo you I'm also Lee the
youth I was born in 1984 Oh 1984 okay
vintage Milenio nice nice see Trevor I'm
a young young you know you're old young
kind of like Nick Cannon like how old is
he 30:50 like I can't really like I have
young in my name literally right there
and your name is Noah like that creepy
old guy who made those animals on a boat
you know it wasn't it wasn't a boat it
was an ark but whatever let's let's move
on like okay I'm trying to get to the
bottom of this why aren't more young
people excited about voting why aren't
more young people excited about voting
what you should be asking is why the
youth vote is being suppressed oh of
course
voter suppression is a big issue in
America I mean we saw the Supreme Court
ruling about North Dakota
disenfranchised all people [ __ ] again
Trevor no I'm talking about how voting
is designed for old people like why do
we still use paper to vote paper is over
I don't even wipe my ass with paper you
know I use a bidet hmm and like why do I
have to go out to vote can't you just
post mates the election to me you know
like Oh Tony will be here in 20 minutes
with my ballot and my seaweed salad doh
okay plus now they want to require an IB
where am I about to get an ID wait wait
you don't have a driver's license oh my
god Trevor you are as funny as my mom
say
[Applause]
like look I don't need a driver's
license my uber driver needs a driver's
like in fact if you want my ID my uber
is the best ID there is it's got my face
it's got my rating for point a and all
my drive all my driver's license will
tell you is where I once live my over
tells you where I'm trying to be you
know like right now I could take any of
your phones and be like oh they went
there there and there and they took a
pool mm-hmm they're gonna vote for
Bernie
okay but that doesn't explain the lack
of enthusiasm right
57% of older people are very excited to
go vote yeah of course they are cuz 57%
of their life is just time off when
you're old you have the luxury of free
time you know who else can play chess in
a park at 4 p.m. and why is voting on a
Tuesday that's the hardest day to take
off which reminds me can I take off next
Tuesday know what dude no you just re
that's what I'm talking about that's
that [ __ ] right there's no election next
Tuesday what are you talking about
that's not the point it's not the point
you want young people to vote make
Election Day a national holiday you know
Presidents Day or Toyota fine okay
so let me get this right if America
adopts digital voting yes and if they
allow people to do it from home and they
make Election Day a national holiday
then young people will definitely vote
no why would I spend my day off voting
I'm trying to see what this Park chess
is all about your booty young white
everybody
[Music]
you
