Trump Blames Autism on Tylenol While Americans Prep for the Rapture on TikTok | The Daily Show

Welcome to The Daily Show. I’m Jordan Klepper. We got so much
to talk about tonight. The United Nations
is a total dump. None of us are going to heaven. And the big question–
are you putting too much liquid into your baby? Let’s get into headlines. [CHEERING] We are living in crazy
times right now. People are feeling
worried and depressed. However, there is
some good news. The world is ending. REPORTER: The end is near. At least, that’s what one
corner of TikTok is claiming. My fellow
Christians out there, I want this video
to help one another. REPORTER: It’s being
called RaptureTok, a convinced contingent
of TikTok users who claim the rapture
is happening today, some even claiming to be
selling all their possessions. One man says he
got rid of his car. I’m catching a flight
to heaven in September anyway. I won’t need the car. [LAUGHTER] You’re going
to heaven without a car? Good luck getting
laid up there, buddy. [LAUGHTER] Listen, if I believed
my earthly body was going to leave this worldly realm,
my first reaction would not be to turn a profit on Carvana. Come September, I will stand
naked before my creator. Are you interested
in a 2017 Kia Sorento? By the way, I just
want to say how unfair the TikTok algorithm is. It’s giving some people a heads
up about the end of the world? Mine is just all videos of guys
power washing sidewalks. [LAUGHTER] And while some
people may or may not depart this mortal coil,
for those of us left behind, there is a lot of shit
we have to deal with– chief among those,
our president. Yesterday, Donald Trump held
a major press conference to announce the cause
of autism and also announce that
RFK, Jr. is officially a weirder color than him now. [LAUGHTER] Now– [LAUGHTER] It’s just not natural. Now, we’ve known for a while
that this administration has wanted to blame
autism on vaccines. But yesterday’s
big announcement came with a plot twist. First, effective
immediately, the FDA will be notifying physicians
that the use of “acita”– well, let’s see
how we say that. “Acita” “meniphen.” Acetaminophen. [LAUGHTER] Is that OK? Which is basically
commonly known as Tylenol. Tylenol– at least
you finished strong. Now, I don’t want
to suggest there’s been some disconcerting
cognitive decline. But back in 2020,
that mofo could spit out hydroxychloroquine,
no problem. [LAUGHTER] So everyone was
waiting for Trump to blame autism on vaccines. But he zagged
and blamed Tylenol, which is especially strange
because nearly all health officials say there’s no causal
link between acetaminophen and autism. However, Trump has his
own recommendation. Tylenol during pregnancy
can be associated with a very increased risk of autism. So taking Tylenol
is, uh, not good. Don’t take Tylenol. Don’t have your baby
take Tylenol. Don’t take Tylenol. There’s no downside. Don’t take it. Don’t take Tylenol. But with Tylenol,
don’t take it. Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen. [LAUGHTER] Ask your doctor if it could
only good happen for you. Trump is so pissed
at Tylenol, he’s going to start bombing the pain
reliever aisles at Walgreens. Joke’s on you, Trump. Even missiles can’t get
through that plexiglass. [LAUGHTER] You’re going to have
to ring the customer service button like the rest of us. You can tell Trump doesn’t
understand what a woman goes through during pregnancy. But as a dad who didn’t
miss a single appointment, it’s not true that
only good can happen if you don’t take Tylenol. Not treating a pregnant
woman’s fever could cause irreparable
harm before the baby comes out of her butt. [LAUGHTER] Read a parenting book, Trump. And Trump wasn’t
just playing fast and loose with acetaminophen. He made sure to throw some
anti-vax classics in there too. And by the way,
I think I can say that there are certain groups
of people that don’t take vaccines and don’t take any
pills that have no autism, that have no autism. Does that tell you something? That’s currently– is that a
correct statement, by the way? [LAUGHTER] No, but you– you had fun out there,
and that’s all that matters. [LAUGHTER] You know, for the future,
typically, a president should check
something before announcing it to the nation. I mean, this is literally
how they fact check on The Joe Rogan Experience. Yeah. If you have sex in space,
your dick will actually explode because of gravity stuff. Is that a correct statement? So as we wait
for the fact check, let’s hear some of the data
you’ve collected. You have certain groups–
the Amish, as an example. They have essentially
no autism. It doesn’t exist with
the Amish community. And they don’t take
all of this junk. It doesn’t exist. Are the Amish the best
control group for this? [LAUGHTER] So based on the Amish,
the cure for autism could either be
not taking Tylenol or being scared of a Roomba. Now, Trump didn’t
flat-out say that kids shouldn’t get vaccinated. But he did argue that
the shot should be spread out rather than combined. And he had a very unusual
explanation for why. There’s too much liquid. Too many different things are
going into that baby at too big a– too big a number. You have a little child,
a little fragile child. And you get a vat of 80
different vaccines, I guess. And they pump
so much stuff into those beautiful little babies. They’re pumping– it looks like
they’re pumping into a horse. [LAUGHTER] I’m sorry. They’re pumping vats of liquid
into the babies like horses? Are you sure you were at the
pediatrician’s office and not the Kentucky Derby? It’s for babies. They inject them, hammer
shoes on their feet. A little man rides them
around in a circle. It’s inhumane. Look. To me, doesn’t sound
like Donald Trump knows what he’s talking about. Presumably, he has done
enough research on vaccines to be an expert at this point. The MMR, I think, should
be taken separately. The mumps, measles, and– and– the three should
be taken separately. Yes, the MMR vaccine– Mumps, Measles– I want
to say Ringo, probably? [LAUGHTER] Forget about taking
them together, Trump can’t even
say them together. The whole point of this
press conference was to finally give answers
to families that have been desperate for decades. So for everyone’s
sake, will you please give us some assurance
that these bold claims are built on concrete evidence? This is based on what I feel. Damn it. You know what? I never thought I’d say
this, but maybe we should all do our own research. For more on Trump’s
autism presser and the Tylenol fallout, we go
live to the White House and Michael Kosta. [CHEERING] Michael. Michael, what’s the latest? To be honest, I
haven’t done any research because I sort of thought
I’d be raptured by now. Come on, Michael. You don’t even go to church. Well, church is for losers. But I– I’m a cool guy. And God doesn’t just want
to hang around with virgins and priests, you know? He needs somebody
to throw back some suds and toss the old
pigskin around with– cool guy stuff. That’s me, Mikey K.
– OK. All right. So can you tell us
anything about how Tylenol is reacting to all of this? Well, I’d imagine this is
causing quite the headache for them, which sucks
because they can’t even take Tylenol for it. Or they can, but they
risk their child being excellent at Jeopardy! [LAUGHTER] All right. Well, Michael– wait,
what do you think the– wait a minute.
Wait a minute. Wait, Michael. Michael, what’s happening? I can– I can see through you. Oh, shit. It’s happening. I’m getting raptured. [CHEERING] Jordan, Jordan,
it feels amazing. It’s like pooping, but I’m
the one getting pooped. No, no. You can’t be getting
raptured, Kosta. You’re not rapture-worthy. Well, I guess God disagrees. Enjoy the Apocalypse, bitch. [CHEERING] Oh, shit. OJ, what are you doing up here? No. I can’t believe that. This is such bullshit.
All right. Whatever.
You know what? I don’t even care. I don’t even care. Let’s go to the CDC. I guess I’ll– I’ll talk with Desi Lydic. Yes, Desi. [CHEERING] So Desi, Kosta got raptured. So I guess I’ll ask
you about Tylenol. Who the hell
cares about Tylenol? Kosta got raptured? How did Kosta get
raptured and not me? I know, right? We’re way better than him. Yeah. Jordan, he sends
me porn at work. And it’s not even good porn. I know. Did he send you the one
with the girl and the– – And the golden retriever?
– Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. And now he’s in heaven? You know what? Screw it. If that’s who gets
raptured, I’d rather just stay right here with you. Thank you, Desi. I feel the same way. We can make our own
heaven right here. Yes, yes. That’s exactly right. We are in this
together, you and me. Trust me when I say, I
will never leave your– oh, thank God. Oh my god, it’s happening. I thought I was going
to have to spend eternity with Jordan Klepper. No, wait.
What? What? No, what happened–
what happened to we’re in this together? Yeah, that’s before I
knew I was better than you. Enjoy the Apocalypse, bitch. [CHEERING] OJ, what are you doing up here? Damn it, those bastards. Is there– is there anyone– is there anyone left?
You know what? OK. I guess we can go to Tylenol’s
corporate headquarters if Josh Johnson is still there. Josh? Josh, are you there? [CHEERING] It’s crazy. Can you believe Kosta
was rapture-worthy? Yeah, I can see it. He was always
really nice to me. He sent me porn at work. Oh. Look, it’s– it’s just
you and me now, Josh. Just please stick with me. I just want one
friend, you know? Oh, no. Are you kidding me? You’re disappearing? What, are you
getting raptured too? Oh, this? No, I’m not getting raptured. This is because my mom
took Tylenol when she was pregnant with me. [LAUGHTER] Jordan, it’s true
what they say. If you don’t take it,
it can only good happen. Damn it. Josh Johnson, Desi Lydic,
Michael Kosta, OJ Simpson– I think.

  2. Ever considered that the reason why amish people aren't diagnosed with autism is because they don't go to psychologists? You won't find something if you never look for it.

  4. when the tylenol thing came out my mom said "well i don't know what gave you autism then, because tylenol doesn't do sh*t for me, so i never took it when i was pregnant. my back just hurt." lol i love her

  6. There is a down side to not taking it. Untreated fevers and pain in pregnancy can absolutely cause more harm to the baby. Also the amish don’t see doctors. Jesus

  8. Wonder why he is slamming Tylenol? Oh wait, most Acetaminophen is produced in India and China, so that might be why he is saying it because he hates those countries.
    😂😂😂

  16. Maybe fake tanner causes Dementia/Alzheimer’s?

    Reverse that how many not taking Tylenol had autistic children?

    Amish also don’t have wifi, bluetooth or cell phones. Could that be something? What about all the hormones and additives in your food?

    Horses being pumped full of drugs from a wannabe gangster who owned casino’s. Me thinks his is confused about things being rigged

  20. I thought practicing medicine without a license was against the law. Oh well, our law and order administration will definitely look into that. They should have a report back in two weeks.

  21. The fact that people who say believe the science won't even consider this a possible contributing factor. Before you dismiss it, maybe do your own research.

  23. TACO is a moving vegetable. The peanut sized brain that was in his head is dead and gone. It's shameful he is the president.

  24. Is that suppose to be a joke why are you saying that babies come out of our butts? I'm not getting that or is Trumpism catching amoungst men?

  25. Where are these sales happening? I would like a rapture sale, please.

    Also, the old adage: “you can’t take it with you,” comes to mind

  26. Why does donald trump hate women so much, that he likes to make them suffer in pain. Could be that his mother treated him bad. So this is his way of getting back.

  27. If Tylenol causes autism then ice cream sales are clearly the cause of shark attacks during the summertime because both have a massive incline during the summer months. So, I think the ice cream man down my street is responsible for people getting eaten by sharks.

  30. DJT should not be allowed to make public statements. He is dangerous, so 3 needles and doctor appointments when 1 would do, great use of time. Just word salad.

  33. Tylenol can cure the headache with a charitable donation of 10% share to the Government or the presidential library. That cure worked for Intel.

    Corrupt politicians in 3rd world countries never get bad reputation that label them as Mr. 10% 😉
