He's right to be afraid. There hasn't been a piece of fruit in that body in 70 years, who knows what might happen!

The US spends $766 Billion per year on military. So $7 Billion is about 3 days worth of spending. Which is more absurd, leaving $7 billion of junk behind after 20 year war, or spending $7 billion every ~3 days?

I love how Trevor sees and so simply explains the hypocrisy of America.

YOU GUYS DESERVE AN EMMY FOR THIS FRUIT SEGMENT. It's the funniest skit involving fruit I've seen since Monty Python's killer fruit routine. Thank for the great laugh!!

Awesomely put - America lacks money for healthcare, education, police reforms and decaying infrastructure but always more than surplus money for military. No, the money never ever goes to the troops or the vets who can barely afford an annual health check up - its just defense contractors. Why is not more on them ever covered by any of media? Kudos Trevor

The funniest part about that deposition is that if a writer would actually try to pitch such a script for review they would immediately be turned down with something like "what are you 3? People don't talk like idiots in the real world, that script makes no sense".

This is one of the best episodes ever. That’s why it’s downloaded on all my devices. I wish they had read the whole deposition.

Knew he was dumb during his idiocracy, but post-presidency, he's reaching new levels.

That deposition was gold. Plus, Trevor sounded just like him.

The reason they can leave $7 billion in equipment is because the department of defense’s budget for 2021 was $705.4 billion.

I'm noticing Noah getting more independent in his criticisms than when he started out.

I'm actually speechless. The conversation about fruit... Am I in the twilight zone?

Trevor trump impression was the best part of this entire video. Absolutely spot on😂😂😂👌🏻👌🏻

If he is scared of tomatoes. Imagine if Don saw someone in the crowd with a Durian Fruit.

My first deployment in 2011, I FOUND an APU to an Apache helicopter that's about $250k.... Just buried out in the dirt past our flight line. The date on the parts tag was 2007! Found even more parts buried out there in the 10s of thousands of dollars. Looked like the unit from back then decided to bury and forget it instead of attempt to clear customs-- which, to be fair, I would do every day of the week if I could. I once spent 7 12hr long shifts cleaning a servocylinder enough to pass customs. Nothing can enter the U.S with even a SPECK of dust of drop of fluid/grease. A component that is nothing but a reservoir or pump on a vehicle with intricate mechanisms inside will have you wanting to just walk off into the desert to die after it's been kicked back from customs every single day for a week. Day 6 I had it clean enough but my finger split open and bled inside... It was so hot my blood was like water and spread quicker than I could clean it up. My second deployment 2/3 of the base had been disassembled, but instead of doing something constructive with the storage containers and makeshift housing, it was thrown into about a 1/2mi long ditch. I thought it was maybe going to be a dump where they would bury it, but I kept thinking about all the housing insecure countries that surrounded us that would benefit so much from these buildings. In 2014 we knew that we were leaving military vehicles and equipment behind-- it cost too much to transport back and pass customs, and it was all obsolete, anyways. This isn't a blame on the Biden administration. There were 0 helicopters left behind that are NEW models, and the ones left were already designated. Tanks have been getting phased out since 2010. Trailers, heavy mechanic equipment, etc has all had a HARD life being used specifically as deployment gear and costs far more to transport back than it's worth. 0 small arms were left behind, along with ammo. Comms equipment is so VERY specific for use with our own equipment, but again, that stuff was all so old. New comm equipment a lieutenant would rather die over than leave behind because it's THAT expensive and signed to THEM. Some things can always be repurposed and rewired, but it can't be used "right out the box" like it's intended to. Most importantly, our engineers we do business with are such jerks that every model, brand, component, has different incredibly expensive parts, nuts/bolts/washers/shims/gaskets, and most things require specialized tools and equipment to fix and maintain (as well as training) that I don't envy anyone trying to figure out how to work or fix something, or even what it is. SOLDIERS don't even know how to fix and maintain most of those vehicles and machines. We just went along breaking stuff, costing everyone money. Oh well. At least it's finally over... For now.

The skit did me in! I’m literally ROTF! Screaming and howling with laughter! This is nuts! No comedian could have come up with that!

I'm surprised Trump wasn't telling them all about how people, big tough men, were coming up to him with tears in their eyes thanking him for so forcefully dealing with the fruit threat...

"Who set the thermostat? the patriarchy?" was 100% an Anna Kendrick Between The Scenes callback

Ima just say what that first news lady was right on the money about. Most military gear is worth a lot less in reality than on paper. It could be $7billion on paper but in reality is worth closer to $35million. This is because we DO have extremely precise maintenance (imagine your car but it's owned and driven by the dealership and inspected daily, even more so weekly, and extremely detailed inspections are done monthly). This gear has been reused sometimes as far back as Vietnam and is still serviceable today. If it goes without this maintenance which the U.S. military teaches to its members, it will break down within weeks. With this maintenance, most of our gear lasts up to 50 years and occasionally more. Think about how humvees run $5k on auction but the military purchased them in the 6 figures. It's not worth much when you don't know how to use it. Source: I am a mechanic in the Marine Corps

Trevor’s voice impersonations are the best 👌🏾

That was just the f*ing best. Thank you Trevor & Michael. I laughed so hard my dog ran off and hid.

The US needs to cut back on its bloated military spending and expend on Healthcare and education

We didn't leave it. A lot of this was was equipment given to the Afghan government and military, who abandoned it nearly immediately. And it's not a question if they can operate the equipment but more so if they can *maintain* it. Look at Russia, abandoning vehicles because of dry-rot. The same will happen in Afghanistan.

Trevor , please talk about Situation in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 ... we need your support. Just raising your voice is enough . People are suffering here... please...

as a US citizen am concerned how the US is so careless with spending, unbelievable.

Trevor deserves an Emmy for his depiction of the tRumpster.

As a veteran we always leave stuff behind, it's normally rendered useless or destroyed completely. Nothing new. Actually cheaper to leave it

Desi's bit at the end was FANTASTIC - "Maraschino cherry? Ah-pricot? AY-pricot?" I love it all.

Has anybody politely asked the Taliban to forward those weapons to Ukraine? I dont think they like Putin also.

My dad was WW2 RAF pilot and was astounded at the end of the war when US equipment was pushed into the sea in Italy, Egypt, and elsewhere. He was flying RAF planes back to the UK, the US decided it was too expensive to get their stuff home so they destroyed it. This is not new.

Leaving the equipment behind was for the best. Otherwise they would have brought it back and given it to the police.

Most of what was "left behind" had ALREADY BEEN GIVEN to the Afghan Army! The total includes equipment that is 20 years old and no longer useful, but is tallied at its "purchase" price. Newer equipment still belonging to the US that was not feasible to move was made inoperable. There was no way to meet the deadline imposed by the trump administration without some chaos and abandonment, since they had done little to evacuate, and actually stalled it, during their time.

Thankfully Monty Python prepared me for how to deal with violent men armed with fresh fruit years ago

fruit phobia according to Stephanie Miller's caller is because he was twice imPEACHed.

Well done Mr. Noah! Nailed it! Thank you for that.

"aaaand Scene". THAT WHOLE THING WAS GREAT! 🤣😂

When i heard, "you could get killed with those things" had me laughing for 10 minutes straight 🤣🤣🤣

I love how committed Desi is to being super weird.

Trevor deserves an emmy for that impression alone! 😂😂😂😂☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

How is that even possible

This story is one of the best. In fact, it is almost better than the one where he told reporters they should not stand under his wall because they might get a bag of drugs on their head. ... The president of the US and A, everyone. 👏👏

Monty Python did a sketch about defending yourself against a fruit attack. Maybe he watched it.

There was another interview of a military personel saying that they have trained them for about 3 months with those equipment gave it to them and then left and they are concerned that they will be able to use it properly and handle the repair and maintenance.

You two were amazing, knocked the ball out the ballpark.

Can we take a second and talk about your hair. I love your professional look and glad it’s being represented! Thank you Trevor! You’re such an inspiration to so many.

They got money for war but can’t feed the poor. RIP PAC..

The phrase “Just read the transcript” just took on a new meaning.

Thank goodness for COURT REPORTERS!

For a bit more perspective: U.S. was spending about $1billion/day at the height of the war. They left about a week's worth of spending from a 20-year war...

This is amazingly misleading, most of this equipment was already handed over to the Afghanistan government. It wasn't the US's equipment to _take_ at the time of the withdrawal

Little known fact, tomatoes are the favorite weapon of the Gazpacho.

Loved that 1st take Trevor 👏🏾 more of that honesty please 🥰

that trump deposition play WAS EPIC lolol. comedy gold.

We definitely need tighter fruit control legislation, school fruitings are on the rise.

I still don't get this! They do that ALL THE TIME! Leaving equipment behind, that is not worth the cost of bringing back, is standard practice...?

That "off-Broadway" joke really went over a lot of heads 😂😂😂

We left all that stuff because we didn’t anticipate the speed the Taliban would take control, and then because of that we were using the cargo planes that could have carried that equipment to evacuate thousands of people…

It sounds bad to hear we left $7 billion worth of equipment behind but whenever you leave a military conflict you don’t take everything with you. You just can’t afford to actually pack up all of that gear and put it on an airplane we couldn’t because as you get ready to leave you’re decreasing the radius of your presence giving those who might be adversaries with more land to surround you with when you leave you just leave whatever’s there is left there. Consider that we have an actually left a military engagement since Vietnam really. You could argue we left desert storm but even then guess what we didn’t bring all the equipment back with us. This is how you handle a military engagement especially one when you literally go thousands of miles from home to get there otherwise how would we have gotten all this equipment back it would’ve cost us billions of dollars to do so. It just wasn’t financially or logistically wise to do so and we left it

this show is filing getting better these last two weeks theyve been on a roll

Sing it Trevor! As usual, you are right on the mark.

Shows why we should’ve never gotten into these military conflicts in the first place

That equipment was for the Afghan military and police forces for when after we left, it's not the US fault that the Afghan military folded in 11 days Trevor, get it right.

Best Episode so far! And I'm still seeing it in my mind

chilling training video, the glittz & blitz and then wtfjh. .... oh--loved the weather report

Hey Trevor, after 20 years of dumping trillions in weapons into Afghanistan, do you honestly believe they didn’t have their hands on the majority of those already? Not to mention a lot of the aircraft was decommissioned or out of date or would’ve cost FAR more to transport. And then name me any other war that lasted 20 years where one party managed to get every single piece of equipment out?

You realize logistics of being in Afghanistan was costing that much every 2-3 days. Spending 3-4x as much just to salvage old equipment, not to mention explaining to the troops why they have to stay and risk their lives over gear?? And it is true that whoever gets the equipment would need access to skilled maintenance techs and spare parts that they cannot buy from manufacturers so yeah, it's practically scrap metal. The obscenity of war comes from the totality of it. In a war that cost over 2 trillion, you're seriously going to "itemize" the pull out cost?? End it. That's all that matters. Freaking media is forever whining. Call me a hippie dreamer or whatever but the cost of ending a war is always cheaper than the cost of keeping it going, in every sense.

Trevor, Trevor, Trevor . . . SMH & LOL & LOL & STILL LOL ;D !! Thank You for the insights--and the laughs! Take care and stay well.

When - in the history of the world - have you EVER heard of anyone throwing a pineapple at a protest or even riot?

Trevor and the team, you are on fire at the moment, so funny, I watch early in the morning here in Paris, and I am english too, with my coffee, I watch Seth, Stephen, Jimmy, I need to laugh to start the day, and I remember when you arrived Trevor, it's only got better, keep making me 😂 people ✊🏻

I love this show so much more now. Yes, it's different than the other late-night hosts, and I've watched Trevor since he started in 2015. On a side note, I'm looking forward to seeing Trevor at the White House Correspondent's Dinner on Saturday (on CSPAN)!

As somebody with plenty of government working experience I can promise it wasn’t 7B worth of equipment, more likely 2B worth that they used 7B tax dollars to buy.

I was amazed at how Melania was able to walk across grass in her stilettos without sinking in. That takes real talent.....

When the fruiting starts, the shooting starts! 🤣

The military general said they made everything useless prior to departure.

So great, so great.

Just bizarre.

How do you leave all that equipment? Easy, it was dated, they took the majority of the electronics out, and they were technically supposed to go to the guys who decided to leave their country rather than fight for it.

Maybe we left military equipment behind but no more of our soldiers are left to die there. No, we waste money on lots of things but I'd rather waste money than our people.

Solid gold delivery !.! Trevor. 👍⭐️

On point

I still cannot believe that man was the 45th POTUS! Just un freaking believable 🤣🤣🤣

$7 billion dollars left behind is not an accurate figure, I'm pretty sure they are taking into account the weapons and vehicles left to the Afghan security forces. I mean seriously 45,000+ vehicles for who? The peak amount of US troops in 2020 was 13,000, that's more than 3 vehicles each.

This is the guy that was hired for prez. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

I love the new visuals in this show, all the backgrounds and digital skits. So funny

I’m a conservative and the deposition skit was funny af.

Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent payouts, with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works.

Ah, the "Run-by Fruiting" defense.

John Cleese has demonstrated the dangers of someone wielding raspberries.

Kinda strange that an annoying orange is afraid of dangerous fruit.🍊🍉🍍🥝🍏🍋

The US didn't have the luxury of dumping materiel into the sea as we did when leaving Vietnam.

I swear you've gotten so much funnier over time! Loving your content!

I thought they disabled stuff before they left. That was said early on. How much would it have cost to ship it back under the pressure?

He had access. To our nuclear weapons. For 4 years. He had access to our nuclear weapons for 4 years. HE HAD ACCESS TO OUR NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR 4 YEARS.

Ya know, Monty Python has a class on what to do when attacked by a Fruit.

That 08:40 response by Trevor ..genius!!

You are so BRILLIANT 👏

Dangerous fruit? I don't think sweaty pumpkins count as fruit, but... Maybe it's time to stick Grandpa in a nursing home...🍅🍐🍊🍍🥜

From what I heard, those $7 billion worth of equipment were already transferred to the Afghan military (before it collapsed). So technically, They did not belong to US military anymore.

You make the news so much fun. That Trump impression was spot on!!!🤣🤣

Weather is quickly becoming my favorite segment on the Daily Show.
