The Daily Show Finds Religion... On Destroying Guns #Political
The Daily Show found religion on Thursday, sort of. While Comedy Central’s flagship show did not repent for claiming Jesus would approve of Transgender Visibility Day or that Christmas is “the queerest holiday of all,” it did send Desi Lydic to Michigan to meet with Episcopal priest Chris Yaw to hype his gun buyback program.
Lydic began, “How does a priest get involved with getting guns off the streets?”
Yaw answered with a statement of questionable accuracy, “In America, it is a lot easier to get a gun than to get rid of a gun.”
Is it? This entire segment was about how you could just give Yaw your gun and he would work with the local police to destroy it. Nevertheless, Yaw continued, “There is the sense that, in churches, we are just going to pray for this gun problem, but church people are sick of thoughts and prayers too.”
Lydic acted amazed, “You know what is bad when a priest is sick of thoughts and prayers. I mean, that’s your bread and butter.”
In a voiceover, she continued, “And just as Jesus turned water into wine, Father Yaw turned prayers into action and started a gun buyback program.”
Unfortunately for Yaw, the company the state contracted with had a problem, as he recalled later in the segment, “We found out they are not really destroying them. They were salvaging most of the gun and reselling the parts on the internet. People can make their own ghost guns.”
Lydic replied, “So, GunBusters is actually contributing to making more guns. Jeez— sorry. Shit. Sorry. Jesus.
In another voiceover, Lydic elaborated, “Turns out, they were using the pulverizer more for evil than good. Doing only partial destruction means that the guns can be born again, and not in the Jesusy way.”
Further on, Lydic sat down with Michigan State Rep. Natalie Price, who made her feel better, “I can tell you what we are doing here in Michigan, which is partnering with state police and a company that will fully pulverize and destroy the complete weapon right here in Michigan.”
An excited Lydic congratulated Price by exclaiming, “Women get shit done.
Continuing with her newfound excitement, Lydic continued, “So it seems the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a pulverizer. But this time, Michigan has their very own state-run pulverizer. Ensuring that the guns that they receive are completely destroyed. I went back to the church to spread the good word to Father Yaw, only to discover he had taken it upon himself to fulfill his own prophecy.”
For his part, Yaw had even more good news for Lydic, “There is more that needs to be done. We're planning to actually destroy the weapons ourselves, with chop saws.”
While the late night comedians continue to gush over liberal Episcopalians, don’t expect them to start promoting the parts of scripture that actually go against them.
Here is a transcript for the March 6 show:

DESI LYDIC: How does a priest get involved with getting guns off the streets?
CHRIS YAW: In America, it is a lot easier to get a gun than to get rid of a gun. There is the sense that, in churches, we are just going to pray for this gun problem—
LYDIC: Right.
YAW: -- but church people are sick of thoughts and prayers too.
LYDIC: You know what is bad when a priest is sick of thoughts and prayers. I mean, that’s your bread and butter.
And just as Jesus turned water into wine, Father Yaw turned prayers into action and started a gun buyback program.
…
YAW: We found out, they are not really destroying them. They were salvaging most of the gun and reselling the parts on the internet. People can make their own ghost guns.
LYDIC: So, GunBusters is actually contributing to making more guns.
YAW: Yeah.
LYDIC: Jeez—sorry. Shit. Sorry. Jesus—
Turns out, they were using the pulverizer more for evil than good. Doing only partial destruction means that the guns can be born again, and not in the Jesusy way.
…
LYDIC: Luckily, Michigan has a solution.
NATALIE PRICE: I can tell you what we are doing here in Michigan, which is partnering with state police and a company that will fully pulverize and destroy the complete weapon right here in Michigan.
LYDIC: Women get shit done.
So it seems the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a pulverizer. But this time, Michigan has their very own state-run pulverizer. Ensuring that the guns that they receive are completely destroyed. I went back to the church to spread the good word to Father Yaw, only to discover he had taken it upon himself to fulfill his own prophecy.
YAW: There is more that needs to be done. We're planning to actually destroy the weapons ourselves, with chop saws.
