Joe Biden is beefing

Congress is trying
to do something about guns.
17
00:00:56,323 --> 00:00:59,326
And the price of gas
is still rising.

00:01:27,588 --> 00:01:29,756
All right.
Let's kick things off
29
00:01:29,857 --> 00:01:33,160
with the price of gas.
Aka petrol,
30
00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:36,196
aka car cocaine. (grunts)
31
00:01:36,296 --> 00:01:38,232
There are few commodities
out there
32
00:01:38,332 --> 00:01:40,634
that affect the cost of living
more than gas. You know?
33
00:01:40,734 --> 00:01:41,969
It's how we get to work.
34
00:01:42,102 --> 00:01:44,404
It's how we ship products
across the country.
35
00:01:44,505 --> 00:01:47,508
And it's how we let our ex know
that we busted them cheating.
36
00:01:47,608 --> 00:01:50,544
Now, I don't need to tell you
that over the past few months,
37
00:01:50,644 --> 00:01:52,012
the price of gas has ben
climbing faster than
38
00:01:52,112 --> 00:01:54,181
your grandpa's heart rate
on Viagra. In fact,
39
00:01:54,281 --> 00:01:57,117
gas is so expensive,
instead of champagne, ballers
40
00:01:57,184 --> 00:01:59,887
have started ordering canisters
of premium at the club. Yeah.
41
00:02:00,053 --> 00:02:02,589
Just like...

(imitates explosion)
That club was really lit.
43
00:02:04,858 --> 00:02:06,393
And as the national average
in America hits
44
00:02:06,493 --> 00:02:09,062
five dollars a gallon
for the first time ever,
45
00:02:09,129 --> 00:02:11,965
people all over the country
are doing whatever they can
46
00:02:12,065 --> 00:02:15,469

49
00:02:22,109 --> 00:02:24,478
with soaring costs--
they're getting creative.
50
00:02:24,578 --> 00:02:28,415
My salary hasn't changed, so I
carpool with my sister to work.
51
00:02:28,515 --> 00:02:30,617
Uh, one week she drives,
and the one week I drive.
52
00:02:30,717 --> 00:02:32,352
I just bought the motorcycle,
of course,
53
00:02:32,452 --> 00:02:35,689
and now, for 20 bucks,
I use, like, for three days
54
00:02:35,789 --> 00:02:37,724
to four days.
It just saves me a lot.

gas prices are so high,

I've moved to the city.
I don't need my car.
58
00:02:44,431 --> 00:02:45,632
Um, can't afford gas.

Even police departments
are under strain.
62
00:02:54,341 --> 00:02:57,377
This Michigan sheriff's office
is feeling the pain at the pump
63
00:02:57,477 --> 00:03:00,280
as well, according to its
Facebook post, and has advised
64
00:03:00,380 --> 00:03:03,650
deputies to manage non-urgent
calls over the phone.
65
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:06,353
Well, well, well.
66
00:03:06,453 --> 00:03:08,488
I guess Joe Biden did end up
67
00:03:08,589 --> 00:03:11,758
defunding the police, yes.
68
00:03:11,859 --> 00:03:13,660
The secret
69
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,063
was just defunding everyone
at the same time,
70
00:03:16,096 --> 00:03:19,299
so we didn't notice.
I see you, Joe, very slick.
71
00:03:19,399 --> 00:03:22,469
But, yeah, gas prices
are so high even police
72
00:03:22,569 --> 00:03:24,872
have to do their jobs
over the phone.
73
00:03:24,972 --> 00:03:27,474
Which, you got to admit,
is gonna be tough for some cops,
74
00:03:27,574 --> 00:03:29,076
you know? It's just gonna
be like, "All right, sir,
75
00:03:29,109 --> 00:03:31,144
"are you Black? Okay,
then I'm gonna have to ask you

"to whup your own ass
a little bit. Yeah.

"Just frisk yourself
for no reason, just to be safe.

You know who's actually gonna be
hit the hardest by this, right?
79
00:03:38,752 --> 00:03:41,722
It's the Karens. Yeah,
'cause they're the main people
80
00:03:41,822 --> 00:03:44,758
calling the cops with
non-urgent shit. They're like,
81
00:03:44,858 --> 00:03:47,160
"Hello, police, there's
a Black man at the grocery store
82
00:03:47,261 --> 00:03:49,763
"buying Trix cereal,
which is illegal,

All over the country, Americans
are doing anything they can
87
00:04:04,845 --> 00:04:07,147
to save on gas. Carpooling,
88
00:04:07,247 --> 00:04:09,216
switching to motorcycles.
89
00:04:09,316 --> 00:04:11,919
Shit, I pretended
to be sick this morning
90
00:04:12,052 --> 00:04:15,055

Oh, wait, that-that's my office,
you guys can put--
97
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:31,471
you can drop me off here.
Yeah, I-I'm gonna pull through.
98
00:04:31,572 --> 00:04:32,906
I'm gonna pull through. You guys
can pull over here. I'm good,
99
00:04:33,073 --> 00:04:34,608
I'm good. Yeah, I'm good.
I-I'll see you guys tomorrow.

You know, for real, though,
it's actually times like this
103
00:04:43,450 --> 00:04:45,319
that a lot of people are glad
they live in New York City,
104
00:04:45,419 --> 00:04:47,187
because you don't need
to pay for gas here.
105
00:04:47,287 --> 00:04:48,789
Right? You can walk.
You can ride a bike.
106
00:04:48,889 --> 00:04:50,357
You can take the subway.
107
00:04:50,457 --> 00:04:52,759
And then with all that money
that you save not buying gas,
108
00:04:52,860 --> 00:04:55,329
you can afford a room
the size of a coffin. Yeah.

But it goes to show you
how desperate times are.
114
00:05:08,575 --> 00:05:12,546
America will do anything
to save on gas right now.
115
00:05:12,646 --> 00:05:14,915
I mean, not investing
in mass transit, obviously,
116
00:05:15,048 --> 00:05:18,252
but anything else.
Anything else.
117
00:05:18,352 --> 00:05:19,720
And that means
we're gonna have to move on,
118
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:20,854
because unfortunately,
119
00:05:20,954 --> 00:05:22,389
gas prices
aren't the only problem
120
00:05:22,489 --> 00:05:24,291
affecting American people
right now.
121
00:05:24,391 --> 00:05:26,093
And yes, I'm talking about guns.
122
00:05:26,193 --> 00:05:27,461
The never-ending problem
123
00:05:27,561 --> 00:05:30,063
that America
just can't seem to solve.
124
00:05:30,097 --> 00:05:32,432
Which,
now that I think about it,
125
00:05:32,533 --> 00:05:34,101
maybe America, like,
126
00:05:34,201 --> 00:05:35,502
shouldn't keep hitting
the same brick wall.
127
00:05:35,602 --> 00:05:38,071
Maybe America can just use
some of its problems
128
00:05:38,138 --> 00:05:40,908
to solve
some of its other problems.
129
00:05:41,074 --> 00:05:43,410
You know? Yeah, like,
like maybe the price of gas
130
00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:45,445
will get so high
that mass shooters
131
00:05:45,546 --> 00:05:47,080
won't be able to drive
to a gun store
132
00:05:47,147 --> 00:05:48,482
to buy weapons
in the first place.
133
00:05:48,582 --> 00:05:51,618
You don't need red flag laws
if gas is $20 a gallon.
134
00:05:51,718 --> 00:05:54,121
(applause)
135
00:05:54,221 --> 00:05:56,356
But until that happens,
lawmakers in Congress
136
00:05:56,456 --> 00:05:57,691
are trying to find any measure
137
00:05:57,791 --> 00:05:59,626
that can help reduce
the amount of guns
138
00:05:59,726 --> 00:06:01,228
that end up
in the hands of madmen,
139
00:06:01,328 --> 00:06:04,364
and yesterday,
the House took action.
140
00:06:04,464 --> 00:06:06,900
A major legislative package
on new gun measures
141
00:06:07,034 --> 00:06:08,135
is headed to the Senate
142
00:06:08,235 --> 00:06:10,370
after passing
in the House yesterday.
143
00:06:10,470 --> 00:06:13,740
By a 223 to 204 vote,
144
00:06:13,841 --> 00:06:17,110
lawmakers approved
the Protecting Our Kids Act.
145
00:06:17,211 --> 00:06:19,413
The legislation is a collection
146
00:06:19,513 --> 00:06:21,548
of six new gun safety measures,
147
00:06:21,648 --> 00:06:23,750
including
raising the minimum age
148
00:06:23,851 --> 00:06:26,887
to buy semiautomatic rifles
from 18 to 21
149
00:06:27,054 --> 00:06:30,457
and requiring
that all firearms be traceable.
150
00:06:30,557 --> 00:06:32,693
Five Republicans
joined Democrats
151
00:06:32,793 --> 00:06:34,261
and also supported the bill.
152
00:06:34,361 --> 00:06:36,830
It is, however,
unlikely to pass in the Senate,
153
00:06:36,930 --> 00:06:39,233
where control is evenly split.
154
00:06:39,333 --> 00:06:40,701
NEWSMAN:
One Republican congressman
155
00:06:40,801 --> 00:06:43,170
who voted against the bill,
Congressman Steve Scalise,
156
00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:45,906
explained his opposition
to new gun control laws.
157
00:06:46,073 --> 00:06:47,908
I go back to September 11th.
158
00:06:48,075 --> 00:06:50,711
Airplanes were used that day
as the weapon
159
00:06:50,811 --> 00:06:52,145
to kill thousands of people
160
00:06:52,246 --> 00:06:54,615
and to inflict terror
on our country.
161
00:06:54,715 --> 00:06:57,451
There wasn't a conversation
about banning airplanes.
162
00:06:57,551 --> 00:07:00,053
Wow.
163
00:07:00,153 --> 00:07:02,756
Wow, that is a good point.
164
00:07:02,856 --> 00:07:05,692
I can't think
of any way flying changed
165
00:07:05,792 --> 00:07:07,494
after 9/11.
166
00:07:07,594 --> 00:07:09,196
Now, if you'll excuse me,
167
00:07:09,296 --> 00:07:11,765
I have to get to the airport
15 hours early
168
00:07:11,865 --> 00:07:15,102
so the TSA has time to run
a background check on my shampoo
169
00:07:15,202 --> 00:07:18,438
to see if it has any links
to ISIS.
170
00:07:18,539 --> 00:07:20,574
(applause)
171
00:07:21,742 --> 00:07:23,410
This is a terrible comparison.
172
00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:26,346
Nobody's trying to ban all guns.
173
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:28,081
They're trying to add
small measures
174
00:07:28,182 --> 00:07:29,616
to make people more safe,
175
00:07:29,716 --> 00:07:32,186
which is exactly what happened
to air travel after 9/11.
176
00:07:32,286 --> 00:07:33,487
I mean, do you even remember
177
00:07:33,587 --> 00:07:35,222
what airport security was like
before 9/11?
178
00:07:35,322 --> 00:07:37,224
You could basically walk
onto a plane
179
00:07:37,324 --> 00:07:39,726
and just browse around
like it was an IKEA. Yeah.
180
00:07:39,826 --> 00:07:42,062
You could just be like,
"No, I-I don't have a ticket.
181
00:07:42,129 --> 00:07:43,497
"I just wanted to check out
the cockpit.
182
00:07:43,597 --> 00:07:45,432
This is nice. This...
What does this do?"
183
00:07:45,532 --> 00:07:46,967
(imitates beeping)
184
00:07:47,067 --> 00:07:50,537
"This is fun. All right,
have a safe trip."
185
00:07:50,637 --> 00:07:52,306
But this is the problem.
You see, this is the problem
186
00:07:52,406 --> 00:07:53,774
that gun lovers have in America.
187
00:07:53,874 --> 00:07:56,310
There's nothing else
that is as unregulated
188
00:07:56,410 --> 00:07:57,878
as they want guns to be.
189
00:07:57,978 --> 00:07:59,680
So their-their options
and the, like,
190
00:07:59,780 --> 00:08:01,448
the analogies they use
always don't make sense.
191
00:08:01,548 --> 00:08:03,750
They're always like,
"Cars kill people, too,
192
00:08:03,851 --> 00:08:06,186
"but you don't regulate...
Wait, wait.
193
00:08:06,286 --> 00:08:09,556
"Actually, I mean, alcohol
kills people, too, but they...
194
00:08:09,656 --> 00:08:12,125
"Wait, actually... No, wait.
Medicine kills people, too,
195
00:08:12,226 --> 00:08:14,027
"but we don't regulate...
Oh, no, wait. We do.
196
00:08:14,061 --> 00:08:16,163
"Uh, let me think.
Guns kill people,
197
00:08:16,263 --> 00:08:18,098
"but we don't regulate those,
huh?
198
00:08:18,198 --> 00:08:20,567
"See what I did? Oh, that's...
I've gone back on myself.
199
00:08:20,667 --> 00:08:22,469
-That's what I've done."
-(laughter)
200
00:08:22,569 --> 00:08:24,304
-But despite...
-(applause)
201
00:08:24,404 --> 00:08:27,708
Despite these dumbass objections
from people like Steve Scalise,
202
00:08:27,808 --> 00:08:30,210
the House still passed
a gun control bill.
203
00:08:30,310 --> 00:08:33,046
The only problem
is that everyone already knows
204
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,949
that it has zero chance
of passing in the Senate,
205
00:08:36,049 --> 00:08:38,151
which has got to be rough
for the House.
206
00:08:38,252 --> 00:08:39,653
You know,
you work so hard on something
207
00:08:39,753 --> 00:08:42,356
that you know is going to lose.
208
00:08:42,456 --> 00:08:44,825
You know, they're like the
New York Knicks of legislation.
209
00:08:44,925 --> 00:08:46,260
(laughter)
210
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,861
Like,
what a weird system in America
211
00:08:47,961 --> 00:08:49,263
where one chamber of Congress
212
00:08:49,363 --> 00:08:51,064
spends all its time
passing legislation
213
00:08:51,098 --> 00:08:52,833
that they know the other
chamber's gonna shoot down.
214
00:08:52,933 --> 00:08:55,169
It's such a strange system.
215
00:08:55,269 --> 00:08:58,205
Normal for America,
crazy for most of the world.
216
00:08:58,305 --> 00:08:59,773
America's basically doing
that thing
217
00:08:59,873 --> 00:09:02,109
that parents do with their kids,
you know?
218
00:09:02,209 --> 00:09:03,911
You know those parents
that aren't on the same page?
219
00:09:04,011 --> 00:09:05,245
Like you ask your dad, "Dad,
220
00:09:05,345 --> 00:09:06,446
can we eat ice cream
for dinner?"
221
00:09:06,547 --> 00:09:08,515
And he's like,
"Yeah, sounds good to me,
222
00:09:08,615 --> 00:09:09,650
but you got to ask your mom."
223
00:09:09,750 --> 00:09:12,553
And you know
Mom is gonna say no!
224
00:09:12,653 --> 00:09:13,887
So I should have just asked her!
225
00:09:14,021 --> 00:09:16,156
Why are you even a part
of this process?!
226
00:09:16,256 --> 00:09:18,225
"Well, if I get your mom
on the record saying no,
227
00:09:18,325 --> 00:09:20,093
"then I can run ads
against her next year
228
00:09:20,194 --> 00:09:23,230
and then we can get
a new cooler mom. Yeah."
229
00:09:24,531 --> 00:09:26,066
But what's
especially interesting to me
230
00:09:26,166 --> 00:09:28,135
is that,
as modest as this bill is,
231
00:09:28,235 --> 00:09:31,171
only five Republicans
voted for it.
232
00:09:31,271 --> 00:09:32,706
Only five.
233
00:09:32,806 --> 00:09:34,675
And get this-- four of them
234
00:09:34,775 --> 00:09:37,211
aren't running for reelection.
235
00:09:37,311 --> 00:09:39,513
Yeah. Which is
really interesting.
236
00:09:39,613 --> 00:09:40,681
You know?
Time and time again, you see
237
00:09:40,781 --> 00:09:42,816
whenever Republicans
aren't worried
238
00:09:42,916 --> 00:09:45,285
about pandering to Trump voters,
239
00:09:45,385 --> 00:09:48,589
all of a sudden,
they make commonsense decisions.
240
00:09:48,689 --> 00:09:50,257
And I'll be honest,
this-this has shown me something
241
00:09:50,357 --> 00:09:52,159
that, like, maybe America
needs to relook the process.
242
00:09:52,259 --> 00:09:55,095
Maybe people in Congress
shouldn't get to be reelected.
243
00:09:55,195 --> 00:09:57,331
You just do one term
and you're done. That's it.
244
00:09:57,431 --> 00:09:58,532
Yeah, because then
America's politicians
245
00:09:58,632 --> 00:10:00,067
would finally care more
about governing
246
00:10:00,167 --> 00:10:01,535
as opposed to getting reelected,
you know?
247
00:10:01,635 --> 00:10:03,303
It's kind of like the same way
people in relationships
248
00:10:03,403 --> 00:10:04,972
finally tell the truth
when they're breaking up.
249
00:10:05,072 --> 00:10:06,740
You know what I mean? Yeah.
250
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:07,741
Because, the whole time,
you're worried
251
00:10:07,841 --> 00:10:09,076
about saving the relationship.
252
00:10:09,176 --> 00:10:10,244
But if you're not worried
about that anymore,
253
00:10:10,344 --> 00:10:11,445
you become a lot more honest.
254
00:10:11,545 --> 00:10:12,880
Yeah. All of a sudden,
you're like, "Well,
255
00:10:12,980 --> 00:10:14,515
"it's gonna end anyway,
so I might as well tell you now
256
00:10:14,615 --> 00:10:16,250
"that you fart
like a beatboxing machine
257
00:10:16,350 --> 00:10:19,486
"in your sleep, Sarah!
258
00:10:19,586 --> 00:10:20,687
The whole night."
259
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:22,823
(beatboxing)
260
00:10:27,294 --> 00:10:28,695
(chuckles)
261
00:10:28,795 --> 00:10:30,030
Moving on.
262
00:10:31,465 --> 00:10:33,200
This week,
Los Angeles is hosting
263
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:35,102
the Summit of the Americas.
264
00:10:35,202 --> 00:10:36,603
Because contrary
to popular belief,
265
00:10:36,703 --> 00:10:39,540
America isn't the only America
in the world.
266
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,074
Yeah. There are dozens
of countries
267
00:10:41,175 --> 00:10:43,177
in North and South America,
268
00:10:43,277 --> 00:10:44,578
and, every once in a while,
they get together
269
00:10:44,678 --> 00:10:47,147
to discuss issues
that affect the entire region
270
00:10:47,247 --> 00:10:49,483
and then they bitch
about Christopher Columbus.
271
00:10:49,583 --> 00:10:51,518
But, for this year's summit,
272
00:10:51,618 --> 00:10:54,254
the person most countries
are bitching about
273
00:10:54,354 --> 00:10:56,523
is Joseph Robinette Biden.
274
00:10:56,623 --> 00:10:59,393
Drama before the diplomacy
officially begins
275
00:10:59,493 --> 00:11:01,061
this week in Los Angeles,
276
00:11:01,094 --> 00:11:02,896
where President Biden
will be hosting
277
00:11:03,063 --> 00:11:04,798
the Summit of the Americas.
278
00:11:04,898 --> 00:11:06,800
There is a significant snub.
279
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:09,069
The president of Mexico
has announced
280
00:11:09,102 --> 00:11:11,238
that he is refusing
to attend the summit
281
00:11:11,338 --> 00:11:13,774
because the U.S.
is not inviting Cuba,
282
00:11:13,874 --> 00:11:15,676
Venezuela and Nicaragua
283
00:11:15,776 --> 00:11:18,378
over their lack
of democratic values.
284
00:11:18,478 --> 00:11:21,615
But Mexico says
the agenda of migration,
285
00:11:21,715 --> 00:11:23,951
economics, climate and COVID
286
00:11:24,084 --> 00:11:26,086
is just too important to exclude
287
00:11:26,153 --> 00:11:28,088
any of the nations
from this region.
288
00:11:28,155 --> 00:11:30,157
The White House counters
that it believes
289
00:11:30,257 --> 00:11:32,492
that no dictators
should be invited.
290
00:11:32,593 --> 00:11:34,528
W-Wait a second.
291
00:11:34,628 --> 00:11:38,866
Joe Biden has stopped a Mexican
from coming to America?
292
00:11:40,834 --> 00:11:42,102
You know, wherever he is,
293
00:11:42,169 --> 00:11:44,938
Trump must be so pissed off
right now.
294
00:11:45,105 --> 00:11:48,609
He's like,
"Joe Biden is stealing my ideas.
295
00:11:48,709 --> 00:11:50,210
"I'm the Mexican man!
296
00:11:50,310 --> 00:11:51,945
Mom!"
297
00:11:54,114 --> 00:11:56,383
But seriously though,
this is such a petty story.
298
00:11:56,483 --> 00:12:00,454
This is a meeting of the leaders
of an entire hemisphere.
299
00:12:00,554 --> 00:12:03,390
But, instead, they-they sound
like middle school mean girls.
300
00:12:03,490 --> 00:12:05,125
You know? It's just like,
"Hey, Mexico?
301
00:12:05,225 --> 00:12:07,494
"I'm having a party
and you can come,
302
00:12:07,594 --> 00:12:09,763
"but don't tell Cuba
and Venezuela
303
00:12:09,863 --> 00:12:12,900
and Nicaragua,
because they're not invited."
304
00:12:13,066 --> 00:12:16,236
Like, "Oh, America,
it's so brave
305
00:12:16,336 --> 00:12:19,239
that you think you're cool
enough to even throw a party."
306
00:12:19,339 --> 00:12:20,574
(gasps)
"You bitch!
307
00:12:20,674 --> 00:12:24,178
Oh, my God!
Ra-ra-ra-ra-ra! Ra-ra-ra!"
308
00:12:25,345 --> 00:12:26,513
I will say this,
I think we can all agree
309
00:12:26,613 --> 00:12:28,482
that Mexico's making
a good point.
310
00:12:28,582 --> 00:12:31,418
America's stance
on human rights violations
311
00:12:31,518 --> 00:12:33,086
seems a little inconsistent.
312
00:12:33,153 --> 00:12:34,254
Right? Think about it.
313
00:12:34,354 --> 00:12:38,091
You won't even talk to Cuba
and Nicaragua?
314
00:12:38,192 --> 00:12:40,627
But then you're gonna fly
to Saudi Arabia
315
00:12:40,727 --> 00:12:44,364
and beg Prince Bone Saw
to release more oil? Huh?
316
00:12:44,464 --> 00:12:46,867
I mean, it seems like America's
a lot more tolerant of countries
317
00:12:46,967 --> 00:12:49,269
that have a little,
uh, cha-ching.
318
00:12:49,369 --> 00:12:50,737
Is that what it is?
319
00:12:50,838 --> 00:12:52,005
Yeah. In many ways,
the American government
320
00:12:52,105 --> 00:12:54,107
is like a stripper. Yeah.
321
00:12:54,208 --> 00:12:55,776
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like, if you ain't paying,
322
00:12:55,876 --> 00:12:57,544
they don't care about you.
323
00:12:57,644 --> 00:12:59,112
And I hope you know that,
Saudi Arabia.
324
00:12:59,213 --> 00:13:00,347
America's not actually into you.
325
00:13:00,447 --> 00:13:01,882
They're just saving up
for college.
326
00:13:02,049 --> 00:13:03,283
That's all this is.
327
00:13:04,251 --> 00:13:06,353
It's not about you, America.
328
00:13:06,453 --> 00:13:08,188
A transaction.
329
00:13:10,591 --> 00:13:12,226
Here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
330
00:13:12,326 --> 00:13:13,827
Whether the U.S. likes it
or not,
331
00:13:13,927 --> 00:13:15,696
it is connected
to these countries. Right?
332
00:13:15,796 --> 00:13:17,231
They affect the United States
333
00:13:17,331 --> 00:13:18,832
and the United States
affects them.
334
00:13:18,932 --> 00:13:20,567
Don't you think it's weird
that you're gonna be talking
335
00:13:20,667 --> 00:13:22,436
about migrants from Nicaragua
336
00:13:22,536 --> 00:13:25,339
but then Nicaragua
is not gonna be at that summit?
337
00:13:25,439 --> 00:13:26,707
You don't think it's strange?
338
00:13:26,807 --> 00:13:28,542
It's gonna be like staging
an intervention
339
00:13:28,642 --> 00:13:30,143
without the person there.
340
00:13:30,244 --> 00:13:32,346
You've got to get your life
together, Barry!
341
00:13:32,446 --> 00:13:34,281
Is what I would say
if Barry was here.
342
00:13:34,381 --> 00:13:35,782
I think this would have
been good, guys.
343
00:13:35,883 --> 00:13:37,384
This would have
gotten through to him.
344
00:13:37,484 --> 00:13:39,286
It really would have been great.
Where is Barry, by the way?
345
00:13:39,386 --> 00:13:41,455
What? Drunk again?
Oh, well, we tied.
346
00:13:41,555 --> 00:13:43,323
All right, that's it for the
headlines, but before we go,
347
00:13:43,423 --> 00:13:44,658
let's check in on the traffic
348
00:13:44,758 --> 00:13:47,127
with our very own
Roy wood, Jr., everybody!
349
00:13:47,227 --> 00:13:48,795
(applause and cheering)
350
00:13:48,896 --> 00:13:50,931
Hey, Wood!
351
00:13:52,266 --> 00:13:54,701
Looking nice. Looking nice.
352
00:13:54,801 --> 00:13:56,236
-What is going on, Roy?
-Oh, hey, what's up, man?
353
00:13:56,336 --> 00:13:58,105
What's happening, man? What's
happening in the traffic?
354
00:13:58,205 --> 00:14:00,140
I'm just... I'm just looking,
man. Ain't nothing happening.
355
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,443
Ain't nobody out there.
The gas cost too damn much.
356
00:14:03,544 --> 00:14:06,914
Everybody at home. Ain't nobody
on these roads today, man.
357
00:14:07,047 --> 00:14:10,384
It's looking pretty...
looking pretty good out there.
358
00:14:10,484 --> 00:14:14,154
You know, I'll be honest, man.
With these gas prices, man,
359
00:14:14,254 --> 00:14:17,057
I kind of... It's got me kind of
rooting for monkeypox.
360
00:14:17,124 --> 00:14:20,327
-(laughter)
-Sorry. What?
361
00:14:20,427 --> 00:14:22,763
How was traffic
during the last shutdown?
362
00:14:22,863 --> 00:14:24,331
It was good, wasn't it?
363
00:14:24,431 --> 00:14:26,266
It was good. The last pandemic,
there wasn't no traffic.
364
00:14:26,366 --> 00:14:27,968
So bring back another pandemic.
Boom.
365
00:14:28,068 --> 00:14:30,270
Traffic fixed, problem solved.
366
00:14:30,370 --> 00:14:31,705
-I mean, that's...
-I'm telling you, man.
367
00:14:31,805 --> 00:14:34,074
The gas prices are getting
out of hand.
368
00:14:34,107 --> 00:14:35,709
Like, I kind of like the fact,
though,
369
00:14:35,809 --> 00:14:38,645
that the police can't respond
to every call.
370
00:14:38,745 --> 00:14:41,748
That's cool for now, but then,
when the emergencies start...
371
00:14:41,849 --> 00:14:43,884
really start piling up,
then it's gonna be bad, man.
372
00:14:43,984 --> 00:14:45,686
Eventually, the police gonna
have to start carpooling
373
00:14:45,786 --> 00:14:48,522
with the fire department and the
ambulance. They're gonna have
374
00:14:48,622 --> 00:14:50,824
to ride together. Like,
the only way they're gonna come
375
00:14:50,924 --> 00:14:52,659
and save you is if
all three things are happening
376
00:14:52,759 --> 00:14:54,962
-to you at the same time.
-(laughter)
377
00:14:55,095 --> 00:14:57,664
Like, if you get shot, you got
to set something on fire.
378
00:14:57,764 --> 00:15:00,100
Then they'll show up.
379
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,435
They're gonna have
to combine their vehicles.
380
00:15:01,535 --> 00:15:04,605
-It's gonna get bad.
-(applause)
381
00:15:04,705 --> 00:15:07,941
They're going to have
to come check on you
382
00:15:08,041 --> 00:15:09,943
in a fire truck
ambulance cruiser.
383
00:15:10,043 --> 00:15:11,178
NOAH (laughing):
A fire truck...
384
00:15:11,278 --> 00:15:13,146
Yeah, the fire truck
ambulance cruiser.
385
00:15:13,247 --> 00:15:15,148
That's with all three-- police
cruiser, ambulance, fire truck.
386
00:15:15,249 --> 00:15:16,884
-All combined. Well, thank you,
Roy. -Yeah. It was in
387
00:15:17,050 --> 00:15:19,887
-Boyz n the Hood. -What's
happening in the traffic, Roy?
388
00:15:20,053 --> 00:15:22,689
(laughter)
389
00:15:22,789 --> 00:15:25,859
It's just... it's just
people going... errands.
390
00:15:25,959 --> 00:15:28,795
People are just
going to and fro, man.
391
00:15:28,896 --> 00:15:32,733
It's just... It's a beautiful
thing, man. It's just...
392
00:15:32,833 --> 00:15:36,336
Real quick about the-the
gun law stuff, the gun...
393
00:15:36,436 --> 00:15:37,704
whatever they're trying to pass.
394
00:15:37,804 --> 00:15:39,806
Yeah, the gun safety, yeah.
395
00:15:39,907 --> 00:15:42,476
That's part of it, all right?
Can we...?
396
00:15:42,576 --> 00:15:46,980
Like that's the only solution
to gun violence is gun...
397
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,649
-regulating guns. Gun vi...
-That's a good...
398
00:15:48,749 --> 00:15:51,518
A lot of different things
contribute to gun violence
399
00:15:51,618 --> 00:15:53,520
-in this country.
-I agree. I agree.
400
00:15:53,620 --> 00:15:55,656
You start with the guns, but
then you look at communities,
401
00:15:55,756 --> 00:15:58,091
you look at schooling, you look
at eradicating poverty.
402
00:15:58,158 --> 00:16:00,060
-I hear what you're saying, Roy.
-I'm not talking about that.
403
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,529
I'm talking about lonely white
dudes. I'm talking about...
404
00:16:02,629 --> 00:16:06,033
-(laughter)
-We got to have legislation.
405
00:16:06,066 --> 00:16:08,535
Like, every lonely white dude
got to have a friend.
406
00:16:08,635 --> 00:16:11,705
We got to legislate friends
for lonely white men.
407
00:16:11,805 --> 00:16:15,042
-(applause and cheering) -And
I think that's how we get...
408
00:16:15,142 --> 00:16:17,411
That's how we fix some of it.
409
00:16:17,511 --> 00:16:18,812
Like,
it would be like jury duty.
410
00:16:18,912 --> 00:16:20,547
Like, you think you got to...
You think you, like,
411
00:16:20,647 --> 00:16:22,216
you get to go out this week,
but then you got a letter
412
00:16:22,316 --> 00:16:24,318
in the mail like,
"Report to Gary's basement."
413
00:16:24,418 --> 00:16:27,454
And you got to be Gary's friend
for a little while.
414
00:16:27,554 --> 00:16:29,857
'Cause them lonely white men
ain't got no friends, man.
415
00:16:29,957 --> 00:16:31,859
So you don't let
the lonely white men
416
00:16:31,959 --> 00:16:33,360
not have a friend is what...
Okay, but then,
417
00:16:33,460 --> 00:16:34,795
-but then white...
-You're giving 'em a friend.
418
00:16:34,895 --> 00:16:36,363
Every lonely white dude
gets a friend.
419
00:16:36,463 --> 00:16:38,232
-Yeah, yeah, I understand that.
-Rotating group of friends.
420
00:16:38,332 --> 00:16:40,234
Yeah, but then what if
they put a lonely white man
421
00:16:40,334 --> 00:16:42,102
with another lonely white man?
422
00:16:42,202 --> 00:16:43,470
Then isn't that
double dangerous?
423
00:16:43,570 --> 00:16:45,372
No, that's called a militia.
That's safer
424
00:16:45,472 --> 00:16:47,541
-than a lonely white man.
-(laughter)
425
00:16:47,641 --> 00:16:51,078
A militia is much safer
than a lonely white man.
426
00:16:51,111 --> 00:16:52,980
Militia got a uniform,
they got a website,
427
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,548
they got a schedule,
they get permits.
428
00:16:54,648 --> 00:16:57,150
They let you know
when they're going to show up.
429
00:16:57,251 --> 00:16:59,486
Who would you rather deal with?
A militia or a lone wolf?
430
00:16:59,586 --> 00:17:01,021
-Militia.
-That's what I'm saying.
431
00:17:01,088 --> 00:17:02,389
-Yes.
-That's what we need.
432
00:17:02,489 --> 00:17:03,857
-We need that...
-Yeah, the structure.
433
00:17:04,024 --> 00:17:05,292
Yeah, 'cause we got to do...
434
00:17:05,392 --> 00:17:07,361
Somebody got to talk
to these white dudes in person.
435
00:17:07,461 --> 00:17:08,795
We tried talking to them
over the Internet,
436
00:17:08,896 --> 00:17:10,697
but Reddit didn't work.
It was a big failure, so...
437
00:17:10,797 --> 00:17:12,366
(laughter)
438
00:17:12,466 --> 00:17:15,502
Okay, well, um, let's get
the traffic, Roy. We...
439
00:17:18,872 --> 00:17:22,242
It's just so beautiful
when you just stare at it.
440
00:17:22,342 --> 00:17:24,111
Ah, let's get to it.
We got time?
441
00:17:24,211 --> 00:17:26,880
-We got time? -No, we ran out
of time again, Roy.
442
00:17:27,047 --> 00:17:28,515
-We don't have time?
-We ran out... Yeah, we-we...
443
00:17:28,615 --> 00:17:30,517
-Just let me just...
-No, we have... we have no time.
444
00:17:30,617 --> 00:17:32,619
Just let me...
let me just real quick?
445
00:17:32,719 --> 00:17:35,355
Okay, what are you going
to say?
446
00:17:35,455 --> 00:17:37,457
(laughter)
447
00:17:37,558 --> 00:17:39,359
It's just, so that guy's going
to have a wreck.
448
00:17:39,459 --> 00:17:41,195
-He is going way too fast.
-You know what, Roy.
449
00:17:41,295 --> 00:17:42,663
Thank you so much.
Roy Wood, Jr., everybody.
450
00:17:42,763 --> 00:17:44,665
When we come back,
we're gonna find out
451
00:17:44,765 --> 00:17:48,202
what MAGA insurrectionists
and Black people have in common.
452
00:17:48,302 --> 00:17:50,904
You don't want to miss it.
We don't have time.
453
00:17:51,071 --> 00:17:53,073
(cheering, applause)
454
00:17:57,512 --> 00:17:59,547
(cheering, applause)
455
00:18:04,952 --> 00:18:07,388
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
456
00:18:07,488 --> 00:18:09,557
Tonight, Congress
officially launched
457
00:18:09,657 --> 00:18:11,292
a major round of hearings
458
00:18:11,392 --> 00:18:13,995
into the events
of January 6th, 2021.
459
00:18:14,095 --> 00:18:16,464
Juneteenth for Trump supporters.
460
00:18:16,564 --> 00:18:18,833
The day when white people
visited the democracy store
461
00:18:18,933 --> 00:18:21,936
and demanded
to speak to the manager.
462
00:18:22,036 --> 00:18:24,806
And by the way, they're still
arresting people for this.
463
00:18:24,906 --> 00:18:26,574
You may not know that, but
they are. In fact,
464
00:18:26,674 --> 00:18:28,776
just today, they arrested a guy
465
00:18:28,876 --> 00:18:30,978
who's running for governor
of Michigan
466
00:18:31,079 --> 00:18:33,748
because he also
stormed the Capitol. Yeah.
467
00:18:33,848 --> 00:18:35,717
And you know that's definitely
gonna change the whole
468
00:18:35,817 --> 00:18:38,086
course of the election,
'cause now we know he's gonna
469
00:18:38,186 --> 00:18:40,354
win the Republican nomination.
I mean...
470
00:18:40,455 --> 00:18:41,622
You can't do that.
471
00:18:41,723 --> 00:18:43,157
And this is a-this
is a new experience
472
00:18:43,257 --> 00:18:44,525
for a lot of these
white people, you know?
473
00:18:44,625 --> 00:18:46,894
All of a sudden, they're
finding out what it's like
474
00:18:46,994 --> 00:18:48,996
to be on the bad side
of the police,
475
00:18:49,097 --> 00:18:52,800
and it turns out
they do not like it one bit.
476
00:18:52,900 --> 00:18:55,636
The January 6th defendants
are being treated differently
477
00:18:55,737 --> 00:18:57,038
on a whole nother level.
478
00:18:57,138 --> 00:19:00,274
They are denied
religious services, haircuts,
479
00:19:00,374 --> 00:19:04,245
shaving, the ability
to trim their fingernails.
480
00:19:04,345 --> 00:19:07,382
Imagine a group of men
being held in jail
481
00:19:07,482 --> 00:19:10,718
with no idea of when
they're going to go to court,
482
00:19:10,818 --> 00:19:14,455
no ability to bail out,
no ability to see their family.
483
00:19:14,622 --> 00:19:16,824
If you're Peter Navarro,
they will literally pull you
484
00:19:16,924 --> 00:19:21,028
off of a plane, shackle you
and throw you in the brig.
485
00:19:21,129 --> 00:19:23,464
I wound up in leg irons.
486
00:19:23,631 --> 00:19:25,900
I wasn't allowed
to call a lawyer.
487
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,469
No food, no water,
488
00:19:28,636 --> 00:19:30,071
solitary confinement.
489
00:19:30,171 --> 00:19:32,774
Illegal aliens
to al-Qaeda terrorists
490
00:19:32,874 --> 00:19:36,310
-were treated better than I was.
-Better than you.
491
00:19:36,411 --> 00:19:38,479
They actually followed him
in the car to the airport
492
00:19:38,646 --> 00:19:40,415
to make a scene
and to handcuff him.
493
00:19:40,515 --> 00:19:42,717
Um, why would they do that?
494
00:19:42,817 --> 00:19:45,553
It actually puts
an exclamation point
495
00:19:45,653 --> 00:19:47,455
on the fact
496
00:19:47,555 --> 00:19:50,425
that we have
a two-tiered justice system.
497
00:19:50,525 --> 00:19:52,760
Uh, if you're a Republican,
498
00:19:52,860 --> 00:19:56,030
you can't even lie to Congress
499
00:19:56,130 --> 00:19:58,633
or lie to an FBI agent,
500
00:19:58,733 --> 00:20:01,202
or they're coming after you.
501
00:20:01,302 --> 00:20:03,671
You can't even lie to Congress
502
00:20:03,771 --> 00:20:06,307
or the FBI
without them coming...
503
00:20:06,407 --> 00:20:09,944
You realize
he's just stating the law
504
00:20:10,044 --> 00:20:11,746
but in an angry voice.
505
00:20:11,846 --> 00:20:14,882
(angrily): "You can't
hit pedestrians and drive away.
506
00:20:14,982 --> 00:20:17,385
"You can't even sell
another man's kidney
507
00:20:17,485 --> 00:20:18,720
"on Craigslist.
508
00:20:18,820 --> 00:20:20,621
"And if you steal
your neighbor's dog
509
00:20:20,688 --> 00:20:22,323
"and sell it back to them
for the money,
510
00:20:22,423 --> 00:20:23,624
"it's also not allowed.
511
00:20:23,691 --> 00:20:25,993
"Is this America?
512
00:20:26,094 --> 00:20:28,396
Is this America?"
513
00:20:28,496 --> 00:20:30,531
(cheering and applause)
514
00:20:31,699 --> 00:20:35,369
It is wild
that Louie Gohmert over here
515
00:20:35,470 --> 00:20:39,173
is complaining about not being
allowed to lie to Congress
516
00:20:39,273 --> 00:20:41,876
because he's in Congress.
517
00:20:41,976 --> 00:20:43,945
Why does he want people
to lie to him?
518
00:20:44,045 --> 00:20:45,480
Why would you want that?
I feel like
519
00:20:45,646 --> 00:20:47,181
he must have asked someone
for their honest opinion
520
00:20:47,281 --> 00:20:48,649
at some point
and then gotten it.
521
00:20:48,683 --> 00:20:50,218
"Tell me the truth. Do I look
522
00:20:50,318 --> 00:20:52,520
"like someone 3D printed
Elmer Fudd?
523
00:20:52,653 --> 00:20:54,188
"Wait, I changed my mind.
Lie to me.
524
00:20:54,288 --> 00:20:55,990
Lie to me."
525
00:20:56,090 --> 00:20:57,725
But yeah, as you can see,
526
00:20:57,825 --> 00:20:59,360
many, many Trump supporters
527
00:20:59,460 --> 00:21:01,729
are saying
that they're being oppressed
528
00:21:01,829 --> 00:21:03,297
and they're just learning
529
00:21:03,398 --> 00:21:05,666
how tough
the justice system can be.
530
00:21:05,767 --> 00:21:07,101
You know?
531
00:21:07,201 --> 00:21:09,303
I mean, Marjorie Taylor Greene.
You heard what she said.
532
00:21:09,404 --> 00:21:12,039
She's like,
"Can you imagine a group of men
533
00:21:12,140 --> 00:21:14,609
who can't pay bail
and can't see their family?"
534
00:21:14,675 --> 00:21:16,911
Well, you don't...
You don't have to imagine it.
535
00:21:17,011 --> 00:21:18,346
America's already got
536
00:21:18,446 --> 00:21:20,281
the largest population of them
in the world.
537
00:21:20,381 --> 00:21:22,116
And then just so we're clear,
so we're clear,
538
00:21:22,216 --> 00:21:24,152
I'm-I'm glad the people
who stormed the Capitol
539
00:21:24,252 --> 00:21:26,487
are being held accountable,
but I don't take delight
540
00:21:26,621 --> 00:21:29,057
in the idea of them
experiencing the shitty side
541
00:21:29,157 --> 00:21:31,259
of America's
criminal justice system.
542
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,061
Yeah.
So, Marjorie Taylor Greene,
543
00:21:33,161 --> 00:21:35,229
I hope you keep
this exact speech ready
544
00:21:35,329 --> 00:21:36,964
for the next time
Black people in America
545
00:21:37,065 --> 00:21:39,734
are complaining
about the exact same thing.
546
00:21:39,834 --> 00:21:41,502
You don't even have
to change the words.
547
00:21:41,636 --> 00:21:43,638
(cheering and applause)
548
00:21:43,704 --> 00:21:45,807
You don't even have
to change the words.
549
00:21:47,975 --> 00:21:49,811
It was wild that
they've been treated like this
550
00:21:49,911 --> 00:21:51,379
for, like, five minutes,
551
00:21:51,479 --> 00:21:52,380
and, all of a sudden,
they're like,
552
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,782
"It's a two-tiered system!"
553
00:21:54,882 --> 00:21:57,185
They're like, "It's so hard
being a Republican
554
00:21:57,285 --> 00:21:59,020
in this country."
555
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:00,688
I was waiting for them
to go into, like,
556
00:22:00,788 --> 00:22:02,490
a white Negro spiritual.
557
00:22:02,590 --> 00:22:03,658
You know? It's just like...
558
00:22:03,758 --> 00:22:06,127
♪ Ooh, go ♪
559
00:22:06,227 --> 00:22:08,196
♪ Go to the Whole Foods ♪
560
00:22:08,296 --> 00:22:10,298
♪ Ooh ♪
561
00:22:10,398 --> 00:22:13,434
♪ My gluten intolerance
is getting me. ♪
562
00:22:14,969 --> 00:22:17,071
Anyway, conservatives
are now learning
563
00:22:17,171 --> 00:22:18,473
that interactions
with law enforcement
564
00:22:18,606 --> 00:22:20,174
don't always end well.
565
00:22:20,274 --> 00:22:21,976
Which means
they're gonna have to have
566
00:22:22,076 --> 00:22:25,246
some hard conversations
with their children.
567
00:22:25,346 --> 00:22:26,948
As a Trump supporter in America,
568
00:22:27,048 --> 00:22:30,351
you already know that cops treat
people like us differently.
569
00:22:30,451 --> 00:22:33,254
We can be profiled
and misjudged anytime,
570
00:22:33,354 --> 00:22:36,124
just trying to overthrow
a free and fair election.
571
00:22:36,224 --> 00:22:39,327
That's why it's time for us
to have...
572
00:22:39,427 --> 00:22:41,129
-the talk.
-The talk.
573
00:22:41,229 --> 00:22:43,231
As a Trump supporter,
it's important to remember
574
00:22:43,331 --> 00:22:46,067
-that law enforcement is
always out to get you. -Mm-hmm.
575
00:22:46,167 --> 00:22:48,669
You could be targeted
solely because of how you look
576
00:22:48,770 --> 00:22:49,837
or what you chant
577
00:22:49,937 --> 00:22:51,873
or who you're assaulting
with a flagpole.
578
00:22:51,973 --> 00:22:53,808
How many young
and middle-aged men
579
00:22:53,908 --> 00:22:56,010
have already been arrested
just because they tried
580
00:22:56,110 --> 00:22:57,745
to vote for Trump
one too many times?
581
00:22:57,845 --> 00:22:58,980
And then stormed the Capitol.
582
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,482
And then posted on Facebook
for some reason.
583
00:23:01,582 --> 00:23:03,251
And they'll use anything
against you--
584
00:23:03,351 --> 00:23:05,720
your skin color, your politics,
585
00:23:05,820 --> 00:23:06,788
evidence.
586
00:23:06,888 --> 00:23:08,156
If you so much as think
587
00:23:08,256 --> 00:23:09,424
about overthrowing
the government
588
00:23:09,590 --> 00:23:10,758
and then actually attempt to,
589
00:23:10,858 --> 00:23:13,394
there is nothing anyone can do
to protect you.
590
00:23:13,494 --> 00:23:15,196
Well, unless your husband
is, like, on the Supreme Court.
591
00:23:15,296 --> 00:23:16,731
-Oh, sure.
-Yeah.
592
00:23:16,831 --> 00:23:20,334
-So first rule-- always listen
politely to the police. -Mm-hmm.
593
00:23:20,435 --> 00:23:22,603
Don't freak out and call them
bullies or fascists
594
00:23:22,670 --> 00:23:24,772
until after you're booked
on Tucker Carlson.
595
00:23:24,872 --> 00:23:26,607
The bad news is
that if they do arrest you,
596
00:23:26,707 --> 00:23:29,243
-you can expect
the worst kind of abuse. -Mm.
597
00:23:29,343 --> 00:23:31,779
They'll put you in handcuffs,
take you to the station,
598
00:23:31,879 --> 00:23:34,182
and put you behind bars
and then lock them.
599
00:23:34,282 --> 00:23:36,784
These are things no criminal
should have to suffer.
600
00:23:36,884 --> 00:23:39,620
And now they're openly throwing
around the word "traitor"?
601
00:23:39,654 --> 00:23:41,789
Yeah, with a hard "R."
602
00:23:41,889 --> 00:23:44,158
You know, every time I see
a young man being hassled
603
00:23:44,258 --> 00:23:46,127
by police for smearing feces
on the walls
604
00:23:46,227 --> 00:23:48,496
of Nancy Pelosi's office,
I think,
605
00:23:48,629 --> 00:23:51,165
-that could be our son.
-Mm.
606
00:23:51,265 --> 00:23:53,634
-He is a sweet boy,
and we're proud of him. -Yeah.
607
00:23:53,735 --> 00:23:55,636
He is a Proud Boy.
608
00:23:55,737 --> 00:23:57,438
So that's the way things are.
609
00:23:57,572 --> 00:23:58,806
And hopefully,
the next generation
610
00:23:58,906 --> 00:24:01,008
of conservatives won't have
to have this talk.
611
00:24:01,109 --> 00:24:03,644
-Because there won't be
elections. -Exactly.
612
00:24:03,745 --> 00:24:05,713
(applause and cheering)
613
00:24:05,813 --> 00:24:08,583
Powerful. Powerful moment.
Thank you, Desi and Michael.
614
00:24:08,649 --> 00:24:10,351
All right, stay tuned,
because we're going to be joined
615
00:24:10,451 --> 00:24:12,687

Jackson right after the break.

Thank you for having me.
639
00:25:38,419 --> 00:25:40,821
Before we get into the show
that you have created,
640
00:25:40,854 --> 00:25:42,156
that is getting
everybody buzzing,
641
00:25:42,256 --> 00:25:44,291
let's talk about the name.
642
00:25:44,391 --> 00:25:46,460
-Let's talk about it.
-How-how many people
643
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,395
do you disappoint
when you show up?
644
00:25:48,495 --> 00:25:50,831
I mean, like, not now,
obviously, maybe now
645
00:25:50,931 --> 00:25:52,967
it's more like, it's apart.
But, like, Michael R. Jackson--
646
00:25:53,067 --> 00:25:54,501
people just see
"Michael Jackson."
647
00:25:54,602 --> 00:25:56,437
I don't know, I think, like,
I always get people
648
00:25:56,537 --> 00:25:58,606
-to perk up a little bit
when I-- -Oh, I like that.
649
00:25:58,706 --> 00:26:00,841
-Like, my name precedes me.
-(Noah laughs)
650
00:26:00,908 --> 00:26:02,943
-You just show up, "Mr. Ja--
Oh, Mr. Jackson." -That's right.
651
00:26:03,043 --> 00:26:05,679
-Yeah. -And then--
Um, the-- was the R always--
652
00:26:05,846 --> 00:26:07,281
the R was always there,
I'm assuming.
653
00:26:07,381 --> 00:26:08,983
Uh, I kind of
dropped it in there
654
00:26:09,083 --> 00:26:10,651
-Okay. Well, that's what--
-to make a distinction,
655
00:26:10,751 --> 00:26:12,953
I-- On Facebook,
I'm the living Michael Jackson.
656
00:26:13,053 --> 00:26:15,522
I like that. It's-- The only
other person who I think has it
657
00:26:15,623 --> 00:26:17,858
-is Michael B. Jordan.
-That's right.
658
00:26:17,958 --> 00:26:20,261
-Right. -Why-- He interned
at All My Children--
659
00:26:20,361 --> 00:26:21,962
I-I interned at All My Children
when he was, like, a kid
660
00:26:22,062 --> 00:26:24,098
-working there. It's really
weird. -There's a connection.
661
00:26:24,198 --> 00:26:26,133
-There is. -Look at it--
all the famous names people
662
00:26:26,233 --> 00:26:27,635
going on to create
their own famous names,
663
00:26:27,801 --> 00:26:29,136
and that's exactly what
you've done. A Strange Loop--
664
00:26:29,236 --> 00:26:31,939
congratulations,
11 Tony award nominations.
665
00:26:32,039 --> 00:26:34,508
-Thank you. Thank you.
-(cheering, applause)
666
00:26:36,510 --> 00:26:38,045
I...
667
00:26:38,145 --> 00:26:40,915
I-I had the pleasure
of seeing this production,
668
00:26:41,015 --> 00:26:43,517
and I can't even explain it
to people.
669
00:26:43,617 --> 00:26:44,818
But, you know,
what I love about it
670
00:26:44,885 --> 00:26:47,621
is it makes me seem cool
when I recommend it.
671
00:26:47,721 --> 00:26:50,224
-Ah! -You know? No, no, no,
'cause, you know, in this world,
672
00:26:50,324 --> 00:26:51,825
there's not many things
you can recommend to people
673
00:26:51,859 --> 00:26:54,595
that'll have them leaving
feeling like you're so cool
674
00:26:54,695 --> 00:26:55,863
because you told them to go.
675
00:26:55,963 --> 00:26:57,698
Everyone I tell to see this
goes and sees it,
676
00:26:57,831 --> 00:26:59,833
and then they're like,
"Trevor, oh, thank you so..."
677
00:26:59,934 --> 00:27:01,268
I'm like,
"Yeah, that's what I do.
678
00:27:01,368 --> 00:27:02,670
-I, uh..."
-(laughter)
679
00:27:02,836 --> 00:27:05,205
Did you know when you finished
creating this show,
680
00:27:05,306 --> 00:27:07,174
did you know that it was
gonna be the hit that it is?
681
00:27:07,274 --> 00:27:09,944
Um, not even close.
Like, it was, like,
682
00:27:10,044 --> 00:27:11,912
not on my vision board
even a little bit.
683
00:27:12,012 --> 00:27:13,447
So it was really exciting.
684
00:27:13,547 --> 00:27:15,482
But you took 20 years
to write it.
685
00:27:15,583 --> 00:27:17,685
-Yeah, almost. Yeah. It...
-That's wild.
686
00:27:17,851 --> 00:27:19,286
George R.R. Martin
would be like,
687
00:27:19,386 --> 00:27:21,388
"Yeah, I-I know what that's
like. That's like, uh..."
688
00:27:21,488 --> 00:27:23,557
Did... I-I would love to know,
like, where this...
689
00:27:23,657 --> 00:27:25,059
where this-this idea came from.
690
00:27:25,159 --> 00:27:26,794
Because I don't want to give
anything away for the audience,
691
00:27:26,860 --> 00:27:29,129
'cause part of the joy
of the show
692
00:27:29,229 --> 00:27:32,466
is that you won't really know
what it's about,
693
00:27:32,566 --> 00:27:33,934
and you'll just be in a story.
694
00:27:34,034 --> 00:27:36,503
But what we can tell people is
it is a story
695
00:27:36,604 --> 00:27:38,672
of a gay Black man
696
00:27:38,806 --> 00:27:40,975
who is in the world of theater,
697
00:27:41,075 --> 00:27:42,843
and he's in the world
of being Black
698
00:27:42,943 --> 00:27:44,878
-and the world of being gay,
but it comments on... -And fat.
699
00:27:44,979 --> 00:27:46,614
And every...
Gay, Black, fat. Yes.
700
00:27:46,714 --> 00:27:48,382
-And you talk about that in the
show. -(chuckles) Yeah, yeah.
701
00:27:48,482 --> 00:27:50,050
One of the funniest shows
I've ever seen.
702
00:27:50,150 --> 00:27:51,418
One of the most poignant shows
I've ever seen.
703
00:27:51,518 --> 00:27:53,287
People crying, people laughing.
704
00:27:53,387 --> 00:27:56,257
It, like... That...
I see why it took 20 years.
705
00:27:56,357 --> 00:27:58,392
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uh, yeah, it just started off...
706
00:27:58,492 --> 00:28:00,261
You know,
I was about 23 years old.
707
00:28:00,361 --> 00:28:03,264
I'm 41 now.
And I had just graduated
708
00:28:03,364 --> 00:28:05,399
from undergrad playwriting
at NYU.
709
00:28:05,499 --> 00:28:07,835
I didn't know what I was
gonna do with a BFA degree.
710
00:28:07,901 --> 00:28:10,337
I was living in this old lady's
bungalow-style house
711
00:28:10,437 --> 00:28:12,139
in the middle of nowhere,
Jamaica, Queens,
712
00:28:12,239 --> 00:28:14,642
which, if you live in New York,
that's, like, all the way
713
00:28:14,742 --> 00:28:16,176
to the end
of the E or the F train,
714
00:28:16,277 --> 00:28:18,279
and then you take a bus
that's, like, ten minutes
715
00:28:18,379 --> 00:28:19,680
-to get to the house.
-(laughs)
716
00:28:19,847 --> 00:28:20,881
It was crazy.
717
00:28:20,981 --> 00:28:22,216
And, so...
And I was just, like...
718
00:28:22,316 --> 00:28:23,851
Didn't know what I was gonna do
with my life,
719
00:28:23,951 --> 00:28:25,252
and so I started writing
this monologue
720
00:28:25,352 --> 00:28:26,854
called "Why I Can't Get Work."
721
00:28:26,954 --> 00:28:28,389
And it was just about, you know,
722
00:28:28,489 --> 00:28:30,190
a young Black gay man
walking around New York,
723
00:28:30,291 --> 00:28:31,692
wondering why life
is so terrible.
724
00:28:31,792 --> 00:28:34,161
So, and from...
And sort of the show
725
00:28:34,261 --> 00:28:36,964
sprang from that
sort of primordial soup.
726
00:28:37,064 --> 00:28:38,799
I-I didn't know that it was...
it was true
727
00:28:38,866 --> 00:28:40,935
that you worked as an usher
at The Lion King.
728
00:28:41,035 --> 00:28:42,937
Yeah, I worked at, uh...
When The Lion King
729
00:28:43,037 --> 00:28:44,605
used to be
at the New Amsterdam Theatre,
730
00:28:44,705 --> 00:28:46,640
-and I worked there
for five years. -Uh-huh.
731
00:28:46,807 --> 00:28:49,009
I did, like,
four years of Lion King
732
00:28:49,109 --> 00:28:50,244
and a-a year of Mary Poppins,
733
00:28:50,344 --> 00:28:51,545
and then I did,
a couple years later,
734
00:28:51,645 --> 00:28:52,846
a seasonal stint at Aladdin,
735
00:28:52,947 --> 00:28:54,815
so I ran through
the whole Disney pantheon.
736
00:28:54,882 --> 00:28:57,284
W-Was there anything that--
was there anything that you saw
737
00:28:57,384 --> 00:28:59,887
where you were like, "I-I don't
ever want to see this again
738
00:28:59,987 --> 00:29:01,889
in a Broadway show so I'm gonna
create something differently"?
739
00:29:01,989 --> 00:29:03,257
Or was there something you saw
that inspired you
740
00:29:03,357 --> 00:29:05,159
that made you want to create
the show the way you did?
741
00:29:05,259 --> 00:29:07,494
Well, it was kind of both.
It was a strange loop.
742
00:29:07,595 --> 00:29:08,862
-Ooh.
-(laughing)
743
00:29:08,963 --> 00:29:11,065
-Ooh! I like what you did there!
-(cheering and applause)
744
00:29:11,165 --> 00:29:12,633
Okay. Okay.
745
00:29:12,733 --> 00:29:15,102
-Mm.
-Um, yeah, like, you know,
746
00:29:15,202 --> 00:29:16,971
you're standing
in the back of the theater,
747
00:29:17,071 --> 00:29:18,572
you're ringing the bells,
you're watching the audience
748
00:29:18,672 --> 00:29:20,240
night after night after night,
749
00:29:20,341 --> 00:29:23,177
show after show,
you get a little... bored.
750
00:29:23,277 --> 00:29:26,046
And-- But, luckily, you know,
I was there with my thoughts
751
00:29:26,146 --> 00:29:27,681
and just sort of thinking
through the show.
752
00:29:27,781 --> 00:29:30,017
I used to-- We used to have
to stuff the playbills,
753
00:29:30,117 --> 00:29:32,553
and sometimes
I would write little ideas for--
754
00:29:32,653 --> 00:29:34,888
that would go into the show
on the back of the inserts...
755
00:29:34,989 --> 00:29:37,258
-Right. -...for like, "Today,
the-- this understudy's in"
756
00:29:37,358 --> 00:29:38,626
or whatever,
and I would collect them
757
00:29:38,792 --> 00:29:40,861
and they would be in
all my pockets when I got home.
758
00:29:40,961 --> 00:29:43,197
Um, but so it was wild.
Like, but I, again,
759
00:29:43,297 --> 00:29:44,865
I never expected
that anything would come of it.
760
00:29:44,965 --> 00:29:47,868
But I just was doing it
to sort of keep myself sane.
761
00:29:47,968 --> 00:29:49,837
What do you think
you have taken away from this?
762
00:29:49,937 --> 00:29:52,473
You know? I-I saw so many people
in the audience
763
00:29:52,573 --> 00:29:54,141
who were touched
for different reasons, you know?
764
00:29:54,241 --> 00:29:55,576
If people grew up
in a religious family,
765
00:29:55,676 --> 00:29:57,278
I saw them connecting with
the show in a different way.
766
00:29:57,378 --> 00:29:59,713
If people, you know, had-had
issues with their identity
767
00:29:59,813 --> 00:30:01,448
growing up
or maybe they were bullied,
768
00:30:01,548 --> 00:30:02,850
may-maybe
they're struggling today--
769
00:30:02,950 --> 00:30:04,018
it doesn't matter what it was--
770
00:30:04,118 --> 00:30:05,419
you-you're looking for work
in America,
771
00:30:05,519 --> 00:30:07,421
you, you know,
you're just trying to get by,
772
00:30:07,521 --> 00:30:09,089
you're trying to find friends,
love--
773
00:30:09,189 --> 00:30:11,025
all of these themes
are touched on.
774
00:30:11,125 --> 00:30:14,962
And I-I watched people
in the audience feel something.
775
00:30:15,062 --> 00:30:17,298
I watched ev-- Everyone
walked out just making sounds.
776
00:30:17,398 --> 00:30:19,300
That's when you know.
No one-- no one said anything.
777
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,669
Everyone was just like,
"Mm." "Ah." "Oh." "Huh."
778
00:30:21,835 --> 00:30:23,904
"Ah." "Ugh."
It-it was-- it was beautiful.
779
00:30:24,004 --> 00:30:26,774
But then I wondered
what you got by creating this,
780
00:30:26,874 --> 00:30:27,942
like, for yourself.
781
00:30:28,042 --> 00:30:29,777
Did it change anything
in your world?
782
00:30:29,877 --> 00:30:32,513
I mean, I guess, for me,
the best part of the show
783
00:30:32,613 --> 00:30:35,349
has been actually talking
to people after,
784
00:30:35,449 --> 00:30:36,784
when, like-- when it lets out.
785
00:30:36,817 --> 00:30:39,086
Because what I've been finding
is that,
786
00:30:39,186 --> 00:30:41,555
for some people,
the show is a mirror.
787
00:30:41,655 --> 00:30:43,490
And for other people,
the show is a window.
788
00:30:43,591 --> 00:30:47,561
And that seeing people there,
uh, together,
789
00:30:47,661 --> 00:30:49,563
experiencing the same thing
790
00:30:49,663 --> 00:30:50,998
but through
those two different lenses...
791
00:30:51,098 --> 00:30:53,834
-I love that. -...has been--
creates a really powerful energy
792
00:30:53,934 --> 00:30:55,803
that sort of goes up
onto the sta--
793
00:30:55,869 --> 00:30:58,639
goes to the a-actors onstage
and they-they send it back.
794
00:30:58,806 --> 00:31:00,441
And it really brings
the audience into the loop
795
00:31:00,541 --> 00:31:02,643
of the show
of-of the character's mind
796
00:31:02,810 --> 00:31:04,011
that we're in as we're watching.
797
00:31:04,111 --> 00:31:05,279
You-you had a great--
798
00:31:05,379 --> 00:31:07,481
Uh, I-I forget what was
the phrase you called it.
799
00:31:07,581 --> 00:31:09,883
You said it was like a--
It was a big, gay, Bl...
800
00:31:09,984 --> 00:31:12,620
Big, Black and queer-ass
American Broadway show.
801
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,288
-I love that. I love that.
-Yeah.
802
00:31:14,388 --> 00:31:16,557
No. You know what I loved
about that. Yeah, it was...
803
00:31:16,657 --> 00:31:18,592
(applause and cheering)
804
00:31:18,692 --> 00:31:21,729
Was what you just said.
I've seen some shows
805
00:31:21,829 --> 00:31:23,764
where, you know,
if an audience is,
806
00:31:23,831 --> 00:31:25,065
let's say, from New York,
they really get the show.
807
00:31:25,165 --> 00:31:26,400
If they're not from New York,
808
00:31:26,500 --> 00:31:27,968
maybe they don't enjoy it
as much.
809
00:31:28,068 --> 00:31:31,338
Or if the audience is Black,
maybe they get it more or less.
810
00:31:31,438 --> 00:31:33,173
This was one of those shows
where everyone was enjoying it
811
00:31:33,274 --> 00:31:34,808
-from a different perspective.
-Yeah.
812
00:31:34,908 --> 00:31:37,478
There's a lot of different
reference points sort of in it
813
00:31:37,578 --> 00:31:40,514
because that's kind of
what it's like to be a person.
814
00:31:40,614 --> 00:31:42,349
You're made up of all
of your reference points,
815
00:31:42,449 --> 00:31:45,119
-your history, your different
memories, everything. -Mm.
816
00:31:45,219 --> 00:31:48,022
And so the main character,
Usher-- that's his name--
817
00:31:48,122 --> 00:31:50,491
he loves a lot
of different things,
818
00:31:50,591 --> 00:31:52,092
and he hates a lot
of different things.
819
00:31:52,192 --> 00:31:56,830
And so, my sort of hope was, by
exposing the audience to that,
820
00:31:56,931 --> 00:32:00,267
everybody can sort of meet Usher
and the show wherever they are,
821
00:32:00,367 --> 00:32:02,469
and they can take from it
what they need to.
822
00:32:02,569 --> 00:32:05,539
And that the show is sort of
promoting a spirit
823
00:32:05,639 --> 00:32:07,408
of inclusion for anybody
824
00:32:07,508 --> 00:32:09,810
who decides to come in
and stick it out.
825
00:32:09,910 --> 00:32:11,211
I don't think
anybody's sticking it out.
826
00:32:11,312 --> 00:32:13,280
I will tell you now.
No, genuinely. I...
827
00:32:13,380 --> 00:32:15,282
Well, no. There's some difficult
moments for some people, and...
828
00:32:15,382 --> 00:32:16,617
But you know what?
That's... I think
829
00:32:16,717 --> 00:32:18,118
that's what made it
so amazing is,
830
00:32:18,218 --> 00:32:20,588
-it's not difficult for the sake
of being difficult. -Right.
831
00:32:20,688 --> 00:32:22,189
It's difficult in,
like, a life way.
832
00:32:22,289 --> 00:32:24,191
-It's not gratuitous. Yeah.
-It's not at all.
833
00:32:24,291 --> 00:32:27,861
And I have seen shows
where audiences go,
834
00:32:27,962 --> 00:32:29,430
-"Aah, I'm uncomfortable."
-Right.
835
00:32:29,530 --> 00:32:31,332
But here it was people
experiencing the discomfort
836
00:32:31,432 --> 00:32:32,766
-that somebody else may be
living through. -Right.
837
00:32:32,833 --> 00:32:34,201
Yeah, and because that's what
838
00:32:34,301 --> 00:32:36,570
the character and I am trying
to do is, we're trying
839
00:32:36,670 --> 00:32:39,640
to get the audience to feel
what it's like
840
00:32:39,773 --> 00:32:42,643
-to walk in this skin that
they may not be... -Yes.
841
00:32:42,776 --> 00:32:45,512
Either that they don't feel
familiar with,
842
00:32:45,613 --> 00:32:47,014
or that they feel familiar with,
843
00:32:47,114 --> 00:32:49,550
-but feel unseen,
unheard or misunderstood. -Yes.
844
00:32:49,650 --> 00:32:52,853
It's phenomenal. It's one of
the funniest, most intelligent,
845
00:32:52,953 --> 00:32:54,388
just everything
and this that you put...
846
00:32:54,488 --> 00:32:56,790
I hope you win
every single Tony Award
847
00:32:56,824 --> 00:32:59,460
-that you're nominated for.
Congratulations. -Thank you.
848
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,495
-Thank you. -Everyone needs
to go watch the show.
849
00:33:01,595 --> 00:33:02,997
-Thank you.
-Thank you for being here.
850
00:33:03,097 --> 00:33:05,566
A Strange Loop is nominated
for 11 Tony Awards.
851
00:33:05,666 --> 00:33:07,635
It's now playing at the
Lyceum Theatre on Broadway.
852
00:33:07,801 --> 00:33:09,503
Go and watch it.
I promise you now,
853
00:33:09,603 --> 00:33:10,871
it's the best thing
you'll ever see.
854
00:33:10,971 --> 00:33:12,206
We're gonna take a quick break,
855
00:33:12,306 --> 00:33:13,540
but we'll be right back
after this.
856
00:33:13,641 --> 00:33:15,843
A Strange Loop.
Don't forget.
857
00:33:15,943 --> 00:33:18,412
-Again, thank you.
-(applause and cheering)
858
00:33:23,314 --> 00:33:25,516
Well, that's our show for
tonight.
859
00:33:25,616 --> 00:33:30,054
But before we go,
please consider supporting
860
00:33:30,154 --> 00:33:33,224
March For Our Lives.
This Saturday, June 11,
861
00:33:33,324 --> 00:33:34,892
the youth-lead movement
dedicated
862
00:33:34,992 --> 00:33:38,796
to eliminating gun violence
is marching again on Washington
863
00:33:38,896 --> 00:33:40,664
and in communities
across the country.
864
00:33:40,764 --> 00:33:42,900
So if you can,
please go to the link below
865
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,468
to donate
and get more information
866
00:33:44,568 --> 00:33:46,503
on how you can show up
and demonstrate
867
00:33:46,604 --> 00:33:48,973
to elected officials
that we demand
868
00:33:49,073 --> 00:33:51,041
and deserve a nation
that is free of gun violence.
869
00:33:51,141 --> 00:33:53,811
Until next time, stay safe out
there, and remember--
870
00:33:53,911 --> 00:33:56,480
gas costs money,
but holding onto the back
871
00:33:56,580 --> 00:33:58,816
of your neighbor's car
while he drives-- that's free.
872
00:33:58,916 --> 00:34:02,052
That's free. Now here it is--
Your Moment of Zen.
873
00:34:02,152 --> 00:34:04,388
This is such a bunch of baloney.
874
00:34:04,488 --> 00:34:05,856
-This is baloney! Baloney.
-...anything about that.
875
00:34:05,956 --> 00:34:07,191
-That's baloney, Dan!
-Did you just hear what I...?
876
00:34:07,291 --> 00:34:09,493
His apology
was a bunch of baloney.
877
00:34:09,593 --> 00:34:11,795
Her position on this
is absolutely baloney.
878
00:34:11,896 --> 00:34:13,264
-Idiot?
-I hope it's not baloney,
879
00:34:13,364 --> 00:34:14,965
uh, you know,
masquerading as steak.
880
00:34:15,065 --> 00:34:17,968
It's all baloney. Baloney.
Baloney, baloney, baloney.
881
00:34:18,068 --> 00:34:20,671
That's a lot of baloney.
Uh, baloney.
