Welcome to The Daily Show.
Thank you so much for tuning in.
I'm Trevor Noah.
Thank you, everybody.
Our guest tonight,
legendary rapper
and producer
of the Starz hit show Power,
50 Cent is here, everybody.
-(cheering, applause)
-♪ G-G-G-G-G-G ♪

And I am so glad
we could get 50 tonight.
Because last night
Senate Republicans
definitely could not.
NEWSWOMAN: Overnight,
 the Republican plan
 to replace Obamacare
 officially falling short,
 with two more GOP senators
 unexpectedly pulling
 their support.
For seven years,
Republican lawmakers have vowed
to overturn Obamacare,
but this morning
their latest plan has come
to a screeching halt.
No...!
Trumpcare is no more!
Now I have no idea
how I'm gonna die.
Oh...
I don't know why
we're surprised, people.
Let's be honest, we all knew
the words "Trump" and "care"
were never destined
to be together.
Just ask Eric.
-(laughter)
-So last night...
the Senate plan
officially collapsed.
And luckily for Republicans,
they had parliamentary genius
and foreskin impersonator
Mitch McConnell
in their corner.
The Senate's plan B
for Trumpcare seems dead,
and plan C
had barely been introduced
before it was slain as well.
GOP senators balking
at Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell's proposal
to ditch a replacement
for Obamacare,
instead just going to outright
repeal without a replacement.
 At least three
 Republican senators say
 they will not support
 that option.
♪ Ooh, all the Senate ladies ♪
♪ All the Senate ladies ♪
♪ Hold the plan up,
but no, no, no ♪
♪ No, no, no, no, no, no ♪
-(cheering, applause)
-♪ No, no, no... ♪
Yeah!
NOAH: Republicans
have been saying forever
that Obamacare is going to fail.
"It's in a death spiral!"
But after years
of them trying to kill it,
it is somehow the only thing
that's still around.
All of their healthcare plans
collapse immediately.
And they're like,
"Obamacare is dead.
"Check out our plan.
"Oh, my God. Plan?
"Wake up, plan. Wake up!
"Oh, no! Our plan won't wake up!
Is there an Obamacare
in the house?!"
If you're a Republican,
like, today sucked balls.
You have to admit.
Uh, it actually...
it actually all reminds me
of something
a wise man once said.
Nobody knew that healthcare
could be so complicated.
(laughter)
(applause, cheering)
(whistling, shouting)
From the mouth of babes.
(laughter)
But the president was
at least partly right,
because it's true,
no one knew how complicated
healthcare could be
once Donald Trump got involved.
Because... because,
I don't know if you remember,
but before he stepped in,
Republicans had a strategy
for destroying Obamacare.
NEWSMAN: A new strategy
 is gaining steam
 on Capitol Hill
 that would quickly repeal
 most of President Obama's
 Affordable Care Act,
 but delay the effects
 for up to two years.
Yeah, that was
the original plan.
They would take it apart,
but slowly, over time.
Their plan was basically
to treat healthcare like Jenga.
Gradually dismantle it,
piece by piece,
so when it finally collapsed,
it would have been
someone else's problem.
And then Donald Trump
came along,
and he's like,
"Oh, boy! Jenga bowling!"
Under the prodding
of President Trump,
Republicans decided
not to just repeal
and worry about replace later,
but try to do it in one bucket.
It'll be repeal and replace.
It will be essentially
simultaneously.
It will be various segments,
you understand,
but will most likely be on
the same day or the same week,
but probably the same day.
Could be the same hour.
So we're gonna do
repeal and replace.
(like Trump): In fact,
it's happening right now.
It just happened.
It just happened.
To understand this...
just think of it like this.
Donald Trump is basically
an unlikable Baby Groot.
-Right?
-(laughter)
Republicans were like,
"All right, Donald,
"here's the plan.
Repeal. No replace."
He was like, "Replace."
"No, no, no, no, no, Donald.
"No, no, no. No replace.
-Repeal."
-"Replace."
"No, you're not listening!
-Repeal."
-"Repeal...
and replace."
"Oh!"
There's a clearer reason
that the Republicans
just suffered today's failure,
and that reason lives
in the White House.
To add insult to injury,
while the GOP's healthcare
dreams were crumbling,
Trump wasn't even helping.
He was hosting a play-play party
at the White House,
celebrating something called
"Made in America Week,"
where the president basically
checked out guitars,
wrestled with baseball bats,
and of course,
his favorite activity,
fake driving a truck.
Where's the fire?
Put it out fast.
Yeah, and everyone was, like,
"The fire's behind you
in the White House."
Like, it felt--
you know what it felt?
It felt like the whole event
was designed
to convince Donald Trump
to take up any other job.
What about baseball?
No, no, you don't want?
You want to be a fireman?
Anything, man.
We'll give you anything.
I mean, at one point,
he even got an applause
just for putting on a hat.
(applause)
Yeah! Yeah!
I told you he'd get
something right eventually.
Yeah!
And that's where we are.
And that's how the Republican
healthcare plan came and went.
With them failing
to get their votes,
and the president playing
pretend in the White House.
So the truth is,
for the Republicans,
it's not looking good.
It's July.
Their healthcare plan
is officially dead.
They have no
infrastructure bill,
and they're months behind
on tax reform.
At some point,
they have to admit
that their world
is burning down.
Fortunately,
for the Republicans,
they have a fireman
on their team.
