With the help of Republican strategist Noelle Nikpour, The Daily Show’s Assif Mandvi goes behind the scenes to expose scientists and their nefarious plots to steal the public’s money.
“Scientists are scamming the American people left and right”, warns Nikpour, “for their own financial gain!”
Science may claim it’s working to cure disease, save the planet and solve the greatest human mysteries, but the real truth behind peer review is “…it’s like being a rapist on trial with a jury full of rapists.”

Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be today.
