the only city in America,

3
00:00:07,674 --> 00:00:11,044
Tonight, Beyoncé arrives early,
4
00:00:11,144 --> 00:00:14,281
Democrats get a win,
5
00:00:14,381 --> 00:00:16,683
and Leila Mottley.
6
00:00:16,783 --> 00:00:20,888
This is
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah!
7
00:00:22,523 --> 00:00:25,092
(applause and cheering)
8
00:00:34,735 --> 00:00:36,537
What's going on, everybody?
9
00:00:36,637 --> 00:00:38,605
Welcome to The Daily Show.
I'm Trevor Noah.
10
00:00:38,705 --> 00:00:40,307
Thank you so much for tuning in.
11
00:00:40,407 --> 00:00:42,309
Thank you
for coming out in person.
12
00:00:42,409 --> 00:00:43,911
Thank you so much.
Good to see you.
13
00:00:44,011 --> 00:00:46,380
Good to see you. Take a seat.
Please, take a seat.
14
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:47,848
Take a seat. Let's get into it.
15
00:00:47,948 --> 00:00:50,617
We have got a jam-packed show
for you tonight.
16
00:00:50,717 --> 00:00:52,953
Everybody loves Joe Manchin,
17
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:55,455
America is a broke-ass bitch,
18
00:00:55,556 --> 00:00:57,925
and if you've heard
the new Beyoncé album,
19
00:00:58,025 --> 00:00:59,459
you're going to jail!
20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,094
So let's do this, people.
21
00:01:01,195 --> 00:01:02,963
Let's jump straight
into today's headlines.
22
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:06,099
-(applause and cheering)
-♪ ♪
23
00:01:08,902 --> 00:01:12,539
Okay, all right, before we get
into the big stories,
24
00:01:12,639 --> 00:01:15,342
let's catch up on a few
other things that are going on.
25
00:01:15,442 --> 00:01:17,811
First up, in business news,
26
00:01:17,911 --> 00:01:19,947
JetBlue has officially announced
27
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,352
that it will buy Spirit Airlines
for $3.8 billion.
28
00:01:25,452 --> 00:01:28,388
-Yeah, $3.8 billion. Yeah.
-(audience members gasp)
29
00:01:28,488 --> 00:01:30,824
What's crazy is
that Spirit still charged them
30
00:01:30,924 --> 00:01:32,392
$30 for a carry-on bag.
31
00:01:32,492 --> 00:01:33,927
(laughter)
32
00:01:34,094 --> 00:01:35,662
But I mean, this is
a smart move for JetBlue.
33
00:01:35,762 --> 00:01:37,097
You know,
a lot of people are confused.
34
00:01:37,164 --> 00:01:38,632
They're like "Why?"
But it makes sense.
35
00:01:38,732 --> 00:01:40,100
As a business,
you want to diversify.
36
00:01:40,133 --> 00:01:41,535
You know? Think about it.
37
00:01:41,635 --> 00:01:43,570
Why just be an airline
38
00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:46,740
when you can be both an airline
and a flying Porta Potti?
39
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,742
-This is great.
-(laughter)
40
00:01:48,842 --> 00:01:50,277
In entertainment news,
41
00:01:50,377 --> 00:01:52,679
the new Beyoncé album
officially drops
42
00:01:52,779 --> 00:01:54,414
tonight at midnight, people!
43
00:01:54,515 --> 00:01:55,782
(applause and cheering)
44
00:01:55,883 --> 00:01:58,952
Hey! Hey!
45
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:00,587
Yeah, but somehow,
46
00:02:00,687 --> 00:02:05,659
the entire thing leaked online
yesterday, 36 hours early.
47
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:07,094
And you know what happens
48
00:02:07,194 --> 00:02:10,731
when someone betrays Beyoncé
like this.
49
00:02:10,831 --> 00:02:12,266
She puts out
a fire album about it.
50
00:02:12,366 --> 00:02:14,301
Oh, I can't wait. I can't wait.
51
00:02:14,401 --> 00:02:15,702
No, but for real, though,
52
00:02:15,802 --> 00:02:18,338
leaking Beyoncé's album early
is an outrage.
53
00:02:18,438 --> 00:02:20,174
It is unforgivable.
54
00:02:20,274 --> 00:02:23,076
And if any of you in this room
have it on your phone right now,
55
00:02:23,143 --> 00:02:25,179
you better go ahead
and airdrop that to me.
56
00:02:25,279 --> 00:02:27,548
I want to hear
what's going on.
57
00:02:27,648 --> 00:02:30,784
All right, and finally, in some
really exciting gaming news,
58
00:02:30,884 --> 00:02:33,453
we're finally getting a glimpse
into Grand Theft Auto 6.
59
00:02:33,554 --> 00:02:36,190
And there are some really cool
shit in it.
60
00:02:36,290 --> 00:02:37,724
Apparently, the game
will constantly grow
61
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:39,326
as you're playing it.
62
00:02:39,426 --> 00:02:41,728
They're just gonna keep adding
new areas and new missions.
63
00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:44,498
Yeah. So, whatever job you have
right now, finish it up
64
00:02:44,598 --> 00:02:46,667
'cause once that game comes out,
you're not leaving your bedroom.
65
00:02:46,767 --> 00:02:50,504
It's over. Oh, what's also cool
is that for the first time ever,
66
00:02:50,604 --> 00:02:53,207
GTA is gonna have a female
main character in the game.
67
00:02:53,307 --> 00:02:56,109
-Playable. Yeah, finally.
-(applause and cheering)
68
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:57,711
I love this!
69
00:02:57,811 --> 00:02:59,112
This is so cool.
70
00:02:59,146 --> 00:03:00,647
Finally, someone has broken
the glass ceiling
71
00:03:00,747 --> 00:03:02,049
by driving through it
with a Lamborghini,
72
00:03:02,115 --> 00:03:04,551
like, shooting Uzis.
(imitates shooting)
73
00:03:04,651 --> 00:03:07,120
It's going to get a lot
of new people playing GTA,
74
00:03:07,221 --> 00:03:09,056
especially the Supreme Court.
They're gonna be like,
75
00:03:09,156 --> 00:03:12,059
"I get to control
a woman's body? I'm in! I'm in!"
76
00:03:12,092 --> 00:03:14,061
(applause, groaning, booing)
77
00:03:14,094 --> 00:03:16,063
Too soon? Too soon?
78
00:03:16,129 --> 00:03:19,399
All right, anyway, let's move on
to the big news of the day,
79
00:03:19,499 --> 00:03:21,468
which is about the economy.
80
00:03:21,568 --> 00:03:24,471
What people in suits blame
for why they can't pay you.
81
00:03:24,571 --> 00:03:26,473
"It's the economy.
You understand."
82
00:03:26,573 --> 00:03:27,908
For the past year or so,
83
00:03:28,075 --> 00:03:30,811
as America began
to emerge from the pandemic,
84
00:03:30,911 --> 00:03:34,214
its economy has been dragged
down by soaring inflation.
85
00:03:34,314 --> 00:03:38,919
And today, everybody is debating
one key question:
86
00:03:39,086 --> 00:03:42,489
Is America in a recession?
87
00:03:42,589 --> 00:03:45,292
Is the U.S. economy
in a recession right now?
88
00:03:45,392 --> 00:03:47,294
Well, not officially, but today,
89
00:03:47,394 --> 00:03:48,896
the Bureau of Economic Analysis
reported
90
00:03:48,996 --> 00:03:51,365
that our nation's
gross domestic product fell
91
00:03:51,465 --> 00:03:53,901
by .9% from April to June.
92
00:03:54,001 --> 00:03:58,438
Now that follows a 1.6% drop in
the first quarter of the year.
93
00:03:58,539 --> 00:04:00,274
For many economists,
a falling GDP
94
00:04:00,374 --> 00:04:01,842
for two straight quarters
equals a recession.
95
00:04:01,942 --> 00:04:05,112
However, the National Bureau
of Economic Research
96
00:04:05,212 --> 00:04:06,880
has not declared a recession.
97
00:04:07,047 --> 00:04:08,549
NEWSMAN: Fed Chairman Powell
said that while
98
00:04:08,649 --> 00:04:10,851
consumer spending
and production are slowing,
99
00:04:10,951 --> 00:04:13,387
unemployment remains
near 50-year lows.
100
00:04:13,487 --> 00:04:17,057
That suggests the U.S.
is not currently in a recession.
101
00:04:17,157 --> 00:04:19,526
I do not think the U.S.
Is currently in a recession.
102
00:04:19,626 --> 00:04:21,695
Whatever we're in today,
whether you want to call it
103
00:04:21,795 --> 00:04:25,632
a recession or not, doesn't
feel like a natural recession,
104
00:04:25,732 --> 00:04:27,201
at least a classic recession
as we've, uh,
105
00:04:27,301 --> 00:04:29,803
had in previous periods.
106
00:04:29,903 --> 00:04:33,740
Aah! It's a recession!
107
00:04:33,841 --> 00:04:35,475
Possibly.
108
00:04:35,576 --> 00:04:37,477
Bah! Sell everything!
109
00:04:37,578 --> 00:04:38,979
But buy everything.
110
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:40,814
We're all gonna die!
111
00:04:40,914 --> 00:04:43,851
At some point.
112
00:04:43,951 --> 00:04:47,087
Yeah, America might
be in a recession or not.
113
00:04:47,154 --> 00:04:50,991
Some signs say no,
but some signs say yes.
114
00:04:51,091 --> 00:04:53,727
Yeah, as we found out today,
the gross domestic product
115
00:04:53,827 --> 00:04:57,364
has gone negative
for two quarters in a row.
116
00:04:57,464 --> 00:05:00,334
And that's generally a sign
that you are in a recession.
117
00:05:00,434 --> 00:05:02,769
You know, it's like when
you say "I love you"
118
00:05:02,870 --> 00:05:06,139
to your partner
and they respond, "Great."
119
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,611
That's a sign that your
relationship is in a recession.
120
00:05:10,711 --> 00:05:12,479
And in case you're wondering
why they call it
121
00:05:12,579 --> 00:05:14,648
"gross domestic product,"
122
00:05:14,748 --> 00:05:17,384
it's because most of
the economy is pretty gross.
123
00:05:17,484 --> 00:05:19,553
You see, a big chunk
of America's GDP
124
00:05:19,653 --> 00:05:21,121
comes from Steve Bannon's
OnlyFans account.
125
00:05:21,221 --> 00:05:23,390
A lot of people
don't realize this.
126
00:05:23,490 --> 00:05:25,626
And-and what's even more
important to know
127
00:05:25,726 --> 00:05:26,894
is that the government
128
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:30,197
is creating the slowdown
in the economy on purpose
129
00:05:30,297 --> 00:05:32,099
to try and combat inflation,
130
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:33,534
which we all know
is out of control.
131
00:05:33,634 --> 00:05:35,903
I mean, Spirit Airlines
is $3.8 billion.
132
00:05:36,069 --> 00:05:37,471
The other day
it was worth, what, $6.95?
133
00:05:37,571 --> 00:05:39,339
Come on, people.
134
00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:41,542
So, the GDP has fallen,
but on the other hand,
135
00:05:41,642 --> 00:05:43,443
the money man, Jerome Powell,
he says that
136
00:05:43,544 --> 00:05:45,846
some parts of the economy
are actually doing great,
137
00:05:45,946 --> 00:05:49,082
which means maybe
we're not in a recession.
138
00:05:49,116 --> 00:05:51,218
That's what makes the economy
so weird right now.
139
00:05:51,318 --> 00:05:53,287
It's bad, but it's also good.
140
00:05:53,387 --> 00:05:56,089
You know, basically,
the economy is-is-- right now
141
00:05:56,123 --> 00:05:58,992
is-is 90 Day Fiancé.
Yeah.
142
00:05:59,092 --> 00:06:00,694
It's like,
"You have to watch this show."
143
00:06:00,794 --> 00:06:01,895
"Oh, it's good?"
144
00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:03,530
"No, it's terrible,
it's terrible."
145
00:06:03,630 --> 00:06:04,531
"Oh, so it's bad?"
146
00:06:04,631 --> 00:06:07,201
"No it is so good, so good."
147
00:06:07,301 --> 00:06:08,569
All right, that's it
for the headlines.
148
00:06:08,669 --> 00:06:11,071
But before we go to break,
it's time to check in
149
00:06:11,171 --> 00:06:13,273
on all the latest
social media trends
150
00:06:13,373 --> 00:06:14,708
with our very own
Ronny Chieng, everybody.
151
00:06:14,808 --> 00:06:16,844
(cheering, applause)
152
00:06:19,813 --> 00:06:23,250
Crazy, day in these streets,
Ronny. Crazy, crazy day.
153
00:06:23,350 --> 00:06:24,885
So, uh... what's, uh,
154
00:06:25,052 --> 00:06:27,154
what's happening out there?
Is anything trending?
155
00:06:27,254 --> 00:06:29,690
What do you mean-- W-What do
you-- Is anything trending?
156
00:06:29,790 --> 00:06:31,959
Are you-are you kidding me?
Are people still dumb?
157
00:06:32,059 --> 00:06:34,828
Yeah, yeah. And, yes,
things are trending, all right?
158
00:06:34,928 --> 00:06:36,363
That's what
the problem is, okay?
159
00:06:36,463 --> 00:06:37,865
We can't think for ourselves
anymore because
160
00:06:37,965 --> 00:06:39,399
we can only talk about
whatever's trending.
161
00:06:39,499 --> 00:06:41,802
Oh, you-you know, Ronny,
I'm starting to feel like
162
00:06:41,902 --> 00:06:43,203
you hate social media.
163
00:06:43,303 --> 00:06:44,738
No, no, no, don't
let my tone confuse you.
164
00:06:44,838 --> 00:06:47,574
I love the shit. I love this.
165
00:06:47,674 --> 00:06:49,743
Why-why wouldn't we want
to give every idiot in the world
166
00:06:49,843 --> 00:06:52,079
a platform for their
stupid opinions?
167
00:06:52,112 --> 00:06:53,614
All right? Let's do it.
Let's, uh, find--
168
00:06:53,714 --> 00:06:55,148
Let's find what's trending
right now. What is it?
169
00:06:55,249 --> 00:06:57,618
Oh, oh, wait, wait, wait. Hang
on, before-before this, uh,
170
00:06:57,718 --> 00:06:59,887
I just want to say a quick
shout-out to the recession.
171
00:07:00,020 --> 00:07:02,489
-Love you man, love recessions.
Let's go, recession! -No, no.
172
00:07:02,589 --> 00:07:04,625
-Go, recession! Recession!
-No, no. No!
173
00:07:04,725 --> 00:07:06,727
-No, don't encourage him.
-Recession. Recession. Yeah!
174
00:07:06,827 --> 00:07:09,863
Ronny, no, no. No, you cannot
be rooting for a recession.
175
00:07:10,030 --> 00:07:12,165
-Come on, Ronny.
-What-- Yeah, I can.
176
00:07:12,266 --> 00:07:14,902
If it's gonna wipe out
these crypto (bleep) boys.
177
00:07:15,035 --> 00:07:19,039
Right? With their cartoon
monkeys and their doggy coin.
178
00:07:19,072 --> 00:07:20,274
Yo, they had so much money
179
00:07:20,374 --> 00:07:22,676
they made up a thing
to lose money on, okay?
180
00:07:22,776 --> 00:07:24,511
They deserve a recession.
181
00:07:24,611 --> 00:07:26,346
This is gonna
be like Noah's flood, okay?
182
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:27,881
Wash everything away
and let's rebuild.
183
00:07:28,048 --> 00:07:29,917
All-- You know, what, Ronny,
before you start a recession,
184
00:07:30,050 --> 00:07:31,218
can you just tell us what's
trending, what's happening,
185
00:07:31,318 --> 00:07:32,786
-what's trending online?
-Yeah, oh, oh, what,
186
00:07:32,886 --> 00:07:34,688
what, you don't have a phone?
Look,
187
00:07:34,788 --> 00:07:37,224
there's only one thing
trending today, okay?
188
00:07:37,324 --> 00:07:40,527
Beyoncé.
That's right.
189
00:07:40,627 --> 00:07:43,063
Yeah.
190
00:07:43,130 --> 00:07:44,598
Let me tell you something.
191
00:07:44,698 --> 00:07:47,801
When Beyoncé trends,
everything stops, okay?
192
00:07:47,901 --> 00:07:50,904
No one trends harder
than Beyoncé.
193
00:07:51,071 --> 00:07:53,874
In fact, if you're
celebrity planning to die,
194
00:07:53,974 --> 00:07:57,110
wait until tomorrow, because
no one's gonna care today.
195
00:07:57,211 --> 00:07:58,779
No one's gonna care.
196
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:00,814
And the reason Beyoncé
is trending
197
00:08:00,914 --> 00:08:04,318
is because her album "leaked."
198
00:08:04,418 --> 00:08:06,553
Right? I bet it "leaked."
199
00:08:06,653 --> 00:08:08,222
Yeah! It "leaked."
200
00:08:08,322 --> 00:08:10,757
Oh, what a "accidental" leak.
201
00:08:10,858 --> 00:08:13,427
A little leak
of the album there.
202
00:08:13,527 --> 00:08:15,829
It's just for publicity,
all right?
203
00:08:15,929 --> 00:08:16,897
We all know the game.
204
00:08:17,030 --> 00:08:18,866
And, guess what, it worked.
Okay?
205
00:08:19,032 --> 00:08:21,869
So, Trevor, man,
why don't we do that?
206
00:08:22,035 --> 00:08:24,438
You know?
We should be leaking the show!
207
00:08:24,538 --> 00:08:26,773
-What? -We got to be leaking.
Here we are, like idiots,
208
00:08:26,874 --> 00:08:28,775
just releasing it
Monday through Thursday
209
00:08:28,876 --> 00:08:31,245
like a-- like a-- like a bunch
of boomers, all right?
210
00:08:31,345 --> 00:08:33,714
We should be leaking this shit.
211
00:08:33,814 --> 00:08:36,350
Leak the show. Come on! Leak it!
212
00:08:36,450 --> 00:08:38,619
-(cheering and applause)
-Yeah!
213
00:08:38,719 --> 00:08:41,288
Get the kids talking!
214
00:08:41,388 --> 00:08:44,157
Then, hey, maybe,
maybe we go platinum.
215
00:08:44,258 --> 00:08:46,793
-Right?
-R-Ronny, we can't go platinum.
216
00:08:46,894 --> 00:08:49,129
We're a TV show.
217
00:08:49,229 --> 00:08:51,965
Exactly. Because we don't leak,
okay?
218
00:08:52,065 --> 00:08:54,968
Let's leak. Leak.
Just try leaking once, okay?
219
00:08:55,068 --> 00:08:56,436
And-and, by the way, everyone,
220
00:08:56,537 --> 00:08:58,639
everyone who's mad
that it leaked,
221
00:08:58,739 --> 00:09:01,074
guys, this is
a victimless crime, okay?
222
00:09:01,175 --> 00:09:03,143
They probably made, like,
a billion dollars anyway
223
00:09:03,243 --> 00:09:04,178
on this leak.
224
00:09:04,278 --> 00:09:05,879
Because it's
not about buying albums.
225
00:09:06,013 --> 00:09:08,182
No one buys albums anymore,
okay?
226
00:09:08,282 --> 00:09:10,617
Even JetBlue would rather buy
Spirit Airlines
227
00:09:10,717 --> 00:09:12,286
than buy an album.
228
00:09:13,253 --> 00:09:14,421
Right?
229
00:09:14,521 --> 00:09:18,192
Beyoncé leaked this album
on purpose for the hype.
230
00:09:18,292 --> 00:09:20,594
Which is a great move,
but no one will admit it
231
00:09:20,694 --> 00:09:23,330
because you can't say
anything bad about Beyoncé
232
00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:25,265
in this country, right?
233
00:09:25,365 --> 00:09:27,668
'Cause we live in this,
like, fascism.
234
00:09:27,768 --> 00:09:30,037
Like, no, yo, I-I love Lemonade,
all right?
235
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:31,738
♪ Single, all the single ladies,
all the single... ♪
236
00:09:31,839 --> 00:09:33,907
-I love-- I love all that stuff,
okay? -(laughing)
237
00:09:34,041 --> 00:09:35,943
But she's human, all right?
238
00:09:36,043 --> 00:09:37,678
You can criticize God
in this country,
239
00:09:37,778 --> 00:09:39,146
but you can't criticize Beyoncé?
240
00:09:39,246 --> 00:09:41,448
Ro-Ronny, I'm-- Ronny, I'm
gonna stop you there, all right?
241
00:09:41,548 --> 00:09:42,916
This-this is blasphemy,
all right?
242
00:09:43,050 --> 00:09:45,652
I do not think Beyoncé
leaked the album on purpose.
243
00:09:45,752 --> 00:09:47,054
Don't you say that on my show.
244
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,590
Oh, oh, oh, so you don't think
she leaked it on purpose?
245
00:09:49,690 --> 00:09:53,126
So therefore, what, this is
what, Beyoncé made a mistake?
246
00:09:53,227 --> 00:09:54,528
She made a mistake?
So, what, you're saying
247
00:09:54,628 --> 00:09:55,963
-Beyoncé's incompetent?
-No, no, no, no.
248
00:09:56,063 --> 00:09:57,364
-Is that what you're saying?
-No, no. Hey, hey, hey. Hey.
249
00:09:57,464 --> 00:09:58,799
-(gasping) -No, no, no.
-Is that what you're saying?
250
00:09:58,899 --> 00:10:00,267
-I would never say that! I would
never say that. -Yeah, yeah.
251
00:10:00,367 --> 00:10:02,069
-I-I would never say that.
-See? See? Even-even you,
252
00:10:02,169 --> 00:10:03,871
-you're-you're part of the
problem right now. -No! What?
253
00:10:03,971 --> 00:10:05,372
-You're-- This-this thing,
right? -I'm-I'm not scared.
254
00:10:05,472 --> 00:10:07,941
You're-- You-you can't even say
something bad about Beyoncé.
255
00:10:08,041 --> 00:10:09,510
-No. -I dug through
all your tweets, okay,
256
00:10:09,610 --> 00:10:11,512
-and this is the meanest thing
you've ever said... -What?
257
00:10:11,612 --> 00:10:13,180
...about Beyoncé.
258
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,681
"Where does Beyoncé come from?
259
00:10:14,781 --> 00:10:17,317
It's almost like she came--
comes to visit us from heaven."
260
00:10:17,417 --> 00:10:18,819
(cheering, whooping)
261
00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:21,154
-This is you right here, all
right? -I mean, yeah, that's...
262
00:10:21,255 --> 00:10:22,389
-Yeah.
-(applause)
263
00:10:22,489 --> 00:10:24,791
This is super edgy,
264
00:10:24,892 --> 00:10:28,362
-"speak truth to power" Trevor
Noah here... -(protesting)
265
00:10:28,462 --> 00:10:30,063
...kissing some butt.
You're like that la--
266
00:10:30,163 --> 00:10:32,132
You're that North Korean
news lady.
267
00:10:32,232 --> 00:10:36,203
"Oh, our glorious leader
has released a new song. Oh."
268
00:10:36,303 --> 00:10:38,338
-(applause)
-That's not fair, man.
269
00:10:38,438 --> 00:10:40,407
That's not f--
Ronny, that is not true.
270
00:10:40,507 --> 00:10:41,608
-Okay?
-Oh, yeah? It's not true?
271
00:10:41,708 --> 00:10:43,310
Then say something bad
about Beyoncé right now.
272
00:10:43,410 --> 00:10:44,945
-(groaning) -What?
-Say something bad about Beyoncé
273
00:10:45,045 --> 00:10:46,280
-right now. Do it. Do it.
-I...
274
00:10:46,380 --> 00:10:47,681
-Yo, I-I c-- I-I can...
-Prove it. Prove yourself.
275
00:10:47,781 --> 00:10:49,116
-Do it. Do it.
-I...
276
00:10:49,216 --> 00:10:51,251
-WOMAN: Oh.
-(laughter)
277
00:10:51,351 --> 00:10:52,753
See? You can't even find
the words!
278
00:10:52,853 --> 00:10:54,388
You can't even find the words!
279
00:10:54,488 --> 00:10:55,756
All right? And, guess what,
you don't have to do it.
280
00:10:55,856 --> 00:10:57,724
I knew you couldn't do it.
I'll do it.
281
00:10:57,824 --> 00:10:59,426
I'll do it.
Yeah, put that camera on me.
282
00:10:59,526 --> 00:11:00,761
-(gasping) -Camera one.
Let's go. I'll do it.
283
00:11:00,861 --> 00:11:02,462
Right now. Hey, I-I'm gonna...
284
00:11:02,563 --> 00:11:04,731
Beyoncé. Beyoncé,
285
00:11:04,831 --> 00:11:07,467
you're too beautiful
for your own good.
286
00:11:07,568 --> 00:11:09,736
-Hear that? That's how it's
done, all right? -(cheering)
287
00:11:09,837 --> 00:11:11,271
I said it. Yeah, I said it.
288
00:11:11,371 --> 00:11:13,540
-Back to you, Trevor.
Come at me, Beyhive. -Wow.
289
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,809
-Come at me. -Wow. Really brave.
Ronny Chieng, everybody!
290
00:11:15,909 --> 00:11:18,245
-(cheering and applause)
-That was edgy.
291
00:11:18,345 --> 00:11:19,313
All right, when we come back,
292
00:11:19,413 --> 00:11:20,814
we'll be looking at
how the Democrats
293
00:11:20,914 --> 00:11:22,349
pulled a fast one
on Mitch McConnell,
294
00:11:22,449 --> 00:11:24,184
so don't go away.
295
00:11:24,284 --> 00:11:26,320
-That was edgy.
-(cheering and applause)
296
00:11:32,976 --> 00:11:35,211
(cheering, applause)
297
00:11:44,187 --> 00:11:46,723
welcome back
to The Daily Show.
298
00:11:46,823 --> 00:11:49,759
You... you might remember this.
299
00:11:49,859 --> 00:11:51,828
Back when Joe Biden was elected,
300
00:11:51,928 --> 00:11:56,733
one of his biggest promises was
the Build Back Better Bill,
301
00:11:56,833 --> 00:12:02,138
a plan that promised to make
everything in America better.
302
00:12:02,238 --> 00:12:04,674
That's why the "better"
was in the name. Yeah.
303
00:12:04,774 --> 00:12:08,411
It was going to rebuild
the roads, fix the climate,
304
00:12:08,511 --> 00:12:10,079
reduce inequality,
305
00:12:10,180 --> 00:12:11,848
and it was even going
to give you another shot
306
00:12:11,948 --> 00:12:14,184
with your high school crush.
Yeah.
307
00:12:14,284 --> 00:12:16,719
Like, "This time, I won't
eat prunes before assembly."
308
00:12:16,819 --> 00:12:19,055
Now, all of that depended
309
00:12:19,155 --> 00:12:22,025
on getting every Democrat's vote
in the Senate.
310
00:12:22,125 --> 00:12:24,961
But there was always one senator
who refused to play ball--
311
00:12:25,061 --> 00:12:26,963
Joe Manchin,
West Virginia senator
312
00:12:27,063 --> 00:12:28,831
and man who definitely has
a photo on the fridge
313
00:12:28,932 --> 00:12:30,233
of him holding a fish.
314
00:12:30,333 --> 00:12:31,834
No matter what
the Democrats offered him,
315
00:12:31,935 --> 00:12:34,304
Joe Manchin was blocking
all attempts,
316
00:12:34,404 --> 00:12:35,872
like an Appalachian Mutombo.
317
00:12:35,972 --> 00:12:37,440
"No, no, y'all!"
318
00:12:37,540 --> 00:12:40,109
And so it seemed
that Joe Biden's agenda--
319
00:12:40,210 --> 00:12:43,079
very much like Joe Biden
himself-- was basically dead.
320
00:12:43,112 --> 00:12:46,282
-(laughter, groaning) -But then,
last night, this happened.
321
00:12:46,382 --> 00:12:47,884
SHEPARD SMITH:
New tonight--
322
00:12:47,984 --> 00:12:50,420
Democratic senators Joe Manchin
and Chuck Schumer announcing
323
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,723
a deal on a bill
that was all but dead.
324
00:12:53,823 --> 00:12:55,859
You almost never see this
in Washington.
325
00:12:55,959 --> 00:12:57,894
You never see
Washington surprised
326
00:12:57,994 --> 00:12:59,495
like it is this morning.
327
00:12:59,596 --> 00:13:02,465
Democratic senator Joe Manchin
announced he has struck a deal
328
00:13:02,565 --> 00:13:04,300
with Senate Majority Leader
Chuck Schumer.
329
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,369
This is a major piece
of legislation
330
00:13:06,469 --> 00:13:08,271
that they say would pay down
the national debt,
331
00:13:08,371 --> 00:13:11,207
cut health care costs,
fight climate change
332
00:13:11,307 --> 00:13:12,509
and battle inflation.
333
00:13:12,609 --> 00:13:16,412
It is the product
of secret negotiations
334
00:13:16,513 --> 00:13:20,116
over a package that, until
yesterday, appeared to be dead.
335
00:13:20,149 --> 00:13:23,119
Two weeks after walking away
from a climate deal,
336
00:13:23,219 --> 00:13:26,222
West Virginia Democrat
Joe Manchin embraced one
337
00:13:26,322 --> 00:13:28,491
last night
with a compromise dubbed
338
00:13:28,591 --> 00:13:31,928
"The Inflation Reduction Act
of 2022."
339
00:13:32,061 --> 00:13:34,063
I can't believe be it.
340
00:13:35,098 --> 00:13:38,935
Joe Manchin
agreed to vote for a bill?
341
00:13:40,069 --> 00:13:43,706
Which means Democrats might
actually get something done?
342
00:13:45,108 --> 00:13:47,377
Oh! Oh!
343
00:13:47,477 --> 00:13:49,679
What, am I--
344
00:13:49,779 --> 00:13:51,981
am I dreaming?
345
00:13:52,081 --> 00:13:55,385
And if so, what a boring dream.
346
00:13:55,485 --> 00:13:57,487
Also, what a week
for Joe Biden, huh?
347
00:13:57,587 --> 00:13:58,821
First, he defeated COVID.
348
00:13:58,922 --> 00:14:00,356
Then he defeated
low expectations.
349
00:14:00,456 --> 00:14:03,760
Look at you, Joe!
Look at you.
350
00:14:03,860 --> 00:14:05,628
But, yeah,
in a surprise announcement,
351
00:14:05,728 --> 00:14:07,630
Joe Manchin released a statement
saying that
352
00:14:07,730 --> 00:14:10,466
he is on board
with Build Back Better.
353
00:14:10,567 --> 00:14:14,137
Except he's calling it
the Inflation Reduction Act.
354
00:14:14,237 --> 00:14:16,806
Yeah. And I'll be honest,
I don't think anyone cares
355
00:14:16,906 --> 00:14:18,842
what it's called,
as long as it's a good bill.
356
00:14:18,942 --> 00:14:20,910
You know, he can-he can call it
the-the
357
00:14:21,010 --> 00:14:23,446
Everyone Except Joe Manchin's
Got a Small Dick Act,
358
00:14:23,546 --> 00:14:25,281
and I won't care.
359
00:14:25,381 --> 00:14:26,482
I'll just be like,
"Well, at least
360
00:14:26,583 --> 00:14:29,819
my dick's gonna
see a better climate."
361
00:14:29,919 --> 00:14:32,789
But I think-- I think
this has taught us all
362
00:14:32,889 --> 00:14:34,190
an important lesson.
363
00:14:34,290 --> 00:14:36,860
Everyone was so mad
at Joe Manchin,
364
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,797
calling him names,
letting their anger take over,
365
00:14:40,897 --> 00:14:43,466
writing him off as a villain.
366
00:14:43,566 --> 00:14:45,735
And it worked.
Nice job, everyone. Nice work.
367
00:14:45,835 --> 00:14:49,639
Yeah. It worked.
368
00:14:49,739 --> 00:14:51,207
Now, just to be clear,
just to be clear,
369
00:14:51,307 --> 00:14:53,943
this bill isn't everything
that Joe Biden once wanted,
370
00:14:54,077 --> 00:14:55,545
but it's still
a pretty big deal, right?
371
00:14:55,645 --> 00:14:57,514
It lowers prescription
drug prices,
372
00:14:57,614 --> 00:15:00,350
it forces big corporations
to pay the taxes that they owe.
373
00:15:00,450 --> 00:15:03,353
But maybe-- but maybe
the most important part bill
374
00:15:03,453 --> 00:15:06,189
is what it does
to fight climate change.
375
00:15:06,289 --> 00:15:08,191
NANCY CORDES:
This would be the largest
376
00:15:08,291 --> 00:15:11,761
U.S. climate-change
legislation ever.
377
00:15:11,861 --> 00:15:14,631
The centerpiece:
about $370 billion
378
00:15:14,731 --> 00:15:17,767
worth of clean energy
tax incentives and grants,
379
00:15:17,867 --> 00:15:20,904
including $7,500 tax credits
380
00:15:21,004 --> 00:15:23,606
for many Americans
who buy electric cars.
381
00:15:23,706 --> 00:15:26,643
NEWSWOMAN: It's going to, uh,
try to reduce carbon emissions
382
00:15:26,743 --> 00:15:29,579
by 40% by 2030.
This was something that
383
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:32,549
many senate Democrats simply
did not think would be included
384
00:15:32,649 --> 00:15:35,418
in any sort of legislation
they could get through.
385
00:15:35,518 --> 00:15:37,353
NEWSWOMAN 2:
But it's not all green energy.
386
00:15:37,453 --> 00:15:39,055
In a win for Joe Manchin,
387
00:15:39,122 --> 00:15:42,292
the bill also opens
millions of acres of public land
388
00:15:42,392 --> 00:15:44,327
for new oil and gas production.
389
00:15:44,427 --> 00:15:45,528
Yeah, that's right.
390
00:15:45,628 --> 00:15:47,797
Tons of money
to fight climate change
391
00:15:47,897 --> 00:15:51,134
but also
some fossil fuel stuff, too.
392
00:15:51,234 --> 00:15:53,570
You know, just to keep
Mother Nature on her toes.
393
00:15:53,670 --> 00:15:55,071
'Ey...
394
00:15:56,172 --> 00:15:59,075
But, overall, overall,
this is a huge investment
395
00:15:59,142 --> 00:16:00,510
in alternative forms of energy--
396
00:16:00,610 --> 00:16:02,245
wind, solar,
397
00:16:02,345 --> 00:16:04,848
and they're even gonna be
researching
398
00:16:04,948 --> 00:16:07,450
new forms of energy.
399
00:16:07,550 --> 00:16:09,285
Nobody knows what it could be.
400
00:16:09,385 --> 00:16:12,088
Yeah, in ten years,
we could be charging our phones
401
00:16:12,155 --> 00:16:13,389
with the power of dance.
402
00:16:13,489 --> 00:16:16,125
Yeah. Yeah.
Ah, ah, that's right.
403
00:16:16,226 --> 00:16:17,560
Yeah. Seven percent. Keep going.
404
00:16:17,660 --> 00:16:19,395
Okay, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
405
00:16:19,495 --> 00:16:21,130
I got this. I got this. 'Ey.
406
00:16:21,231 --> 00:16:22,699
Ten percent. 'Ey.
407
00:16:22,799 --> 00:16:24,300
(cheering and applause)
408
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,436
Gonna charge all our devices.
409
00:16:30,206 --> 00:16:31,741
(chuckling)
410
00:16:31,841 --> 00:16:34,677
(laughter)
411
00:16:34,777 --> 00:16:36,579
I was just thinking,
you know what's funny is
412
00:16:36,679 --> 00:16:38,548
is that if that does happen,
413
00:16:38,648 --> 00:16:40,884
some white people are gonna be
un-charging their phones.
414
00:16:41,050 --> 00:16:42,519
(laughter, groaning)
415
00:16:42,619 --> 00:16:44,053
(whooping, applause)
416
00:16:44,153 --> 00:16:45,788
People will be like,
"What? What's happening?
417
00:16:45,889 --> 00:16:48,291
"Wait, why am I-- why am I--
why am I losing power?
418
00:16:48,391 --> 00:16:49,526
"What's going on here? What--
419
00:16:49,626 --> 00:16:50,827
"I'm dancing. What's going on?
420
00:16:50,927 --> 00:16:52,795
What's-what's happening here?
What's happening?"
421
00:16:55,798 --> 00:16:57,567
But, hey, this is a huge win
for the Democrats.
422
00:16:57,667 --> 00:16:59,202
And, now, obviously,
obviously, please,
423
00:16:59,302 --> 00:17:00,670
remember,
this is the Democratic Party,
424
00:17:00,770 --> 00:17:03,873
so there is still plenty of ways
for this thing to fall apart.
425
00:17:03,973 --> 00:17:06,609
You know? Yeah, House Democrats
could come out against it.
426
00:17:06,709 --> 00:17:08,311
Kyrsten Sinema
could come out against it.
427
00:17:08,411 --> 00:17:09,679
Joe Manchin
could come out tomorrow
428
00:17:09,779 --> 00:17:11,247
and oppose the bill
just out of habit.
429
00:17:11,347 --> 00:17:14,317
But... if it does get through,
430
00:17:14,417 --> 00:17:16,119
this could be
the legislative victory
431
00:17:16,219 --> 00:17:18,621
that the Democrats need
to ride into the midterms
432
00:17:18,721 --> 00:17:21,191
and only lose the House
by 200 seats.
433
00:17:21,291 --> 00:17:22,926
I believe in you, Democrats!
434
00:17:23,092 --> 00:17:24,661
All right, stay tuned,
because when we come back,
435
00:17:24,761 --> 00:17:26,429
Leila Mottley
will be joining me on the show,
436
00:17:26,529 --> 00:17:27,997
so don't go away.
437
00:17:28,097 --> 00:17:30,133
(cheering and applause)
438
00:17:38,005 --> 00:17:40,040
(cheers and applause)
439
00:17:43,777 --> 00:17:45,178
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
440
00:17:45,279 --> 00:17:47,447
My guest tonight is poet
441
00:17:47,548 --> 00:17:50,417
and New York Times best-selling
author Leila Mottley.
442
00:17:50,517 --> 00:17:53,787
She's here to talk about her
debut novel, Nightcrawling.
443
00:17:53,887 --> 00:17:55,389
Please welcome Leila Mottley!
444
00:17:55,489 --> 00:17:57,524
-♪ ♪
-(applause and cheering)
445
00:18:01,028 --> 00:18:03,497
Welcome to the show.
446
00:18:10,871 --> 00:18:12,406
Leila Mottley,
welcome to The Daily Show.
447
00:18:12,506 --> 00:18:14,942
-Thanks for having me. -Uh,
you... uh, you cannot thank me
448
00:18:15,042 --> 00:18:17,544
when you are,
by most people's accounts,
449
00:18:17,644 --> 00:18:21,949
the biggest rock star
in the world of books right now.
450
00:18:22,049 --> 00:18:23,951
I mean, you're 20 years old.
451
00:18:24,051 --> 00:18:25,886
But then, I read the book,
and I was like,
452
00:18:25,986 --> 00:18:27,454
"This is not possible."
453
00:18:27,554 --> 00:18:29,356
It's one of the most
amazing books I've ever read.
454
00:18:29,456 --> 00:18:31,358
And then I realize that Oprah
also thinks the same thing,
455
00:18:31,458 --> 00:18:32,993
and you were
on your book club at 19.
456
00:18:33,093 --> 00:18:34,995
Youngest book club
for Oprah ever.
457
00:18:35,095 --> 00:18:36,763
Like, how are you doing this?
458
00:18:36,863 --> 00:18:38,232
-(applause and cheering) -New
York Times best-selling author,
459
00:18:38,332 --> 00:18:39,900
Oprah Winfrey Book Club,
460
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,802
author to watch...
461
00:18:41,902 --> 00:18:43,770
Let's start with that
before we get into the book.
462
00:18:43,871 --> 00:18:46,240
I need to understand, how
did you write a book like this?
463
00:18:46,340 --> 00:18:47,641
'Cause you started at 17.
464
00:18:47,741 --> 00:18:49,910
-Yeah, 16.
-Oh, yeah.
465
00:18:50,010 --> 00:18:52,112
(laughter)
466
00:18:52,212 --> 00:18:54,181
-How? -I'm an overachiever.
What can I say?
467
00:18:54,281 --> 00:18:55,883
(laughs)
I love it. I love it.
468
00:18:55,983 --> 00:18:58,185
But you really have
a beautiful command
469
00:18:58,285 --> 00:19:01,321
of not just the words, but
the storytelling in the book.
470
00:19:01,421 --> 00:19:04,491
Uh, what made you think,
even begin to think,
471
00:19:04,591 --> 00:19:06,326
that, "You know what?
I can write this book
472
00:19:06,426 --> 00:19:08,795
in a way that
everyone will connect with"?
473
00:19:08,896 --> 00:19:10,631
I mean, I think really
it started with wanting
474
00:19:10,731 --> 00:19:13,834
to tell a story
of teenage Black girls
475
00:19:13,934 --> 00:19:15,736
and give it the validity
and respect
476
00:19:15,836 --> 00:19:17,571
I think
our culture doesn't often give
477
00:19:17,671 --> 00:19:19,206
teenage Black girls.
478
00:19:19,306 --> 00:19:23,410
I wanted Kiara's internal world
to be this rich, nuanced place,
479
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:25,145
and to have the complexity
that I think
480
00:19:25,245 --> 00:19:27,681
a lot of people don't expect
out of young people.
481
00:19:27,781 --> 00:19:29,316
You did that
a thousand times over.
482
00:19:29,416 --> 00:19:31,184
-(applause and cheering)
-And just to give perspective...
483
00:19:31,285 --> 00:19:32,686
Yeah. Just to give perspective
484
00:19:32,786 --> 00:19:34,888
to those
who don't know the-the plot.
485
00:19:34,988 --> 00:19:37,424
You know, the book is about, um,
the main character, Kiara,
486
00:19:37,524 --> 00:19:41,128
and... and you write a story
487
00:19:41,228 --> 00:19:44,197
that is inspired by one
of the most harrowing stories
488
00:19:44,298 --> 00:19:46,700
that America saw,
and it involved, um,
489
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,702
a young girl in Oakland
490
00:19:48,802 --> 00:19:50,737
-who was victimized by
the police department. -Mm-hmm.
491
00:19:50,837 --> 00:19:52,940
And just tell us
a little bit more about that,
492
00:19:53,106 --> 00:19:56,343
and then how you thought
of turning this into a novel
493
00:19:56,443 --> 00:19:57,678
-that could tell a story
for everyone. -Mm-hmm.
494
00:19:57,778 --> 00:19:59,313
I mean,
I'm always surprised to hear
495
00:19:59,413 --> 00:20:01,315
how few people
know about this case, but
496
00:20:01,415 --> 00:20:03,584
in 2016 in the Bay Area,
a case broke
497
00:20:03,684 --> 00:20:06,186
Where a young girl
was sexually exploited
498
00:20:06,286 --> 00:20:08,422
by many different
Bay Area police officers.
499
00:20:08,522 --> 00:20:10,657
And I was a young
teenager at the time.
500
00:20:10,757 --> 00:20:13,160
I'm born and raised in
Oakland, um, and I--
501
00:20:13,260 --> 00:20:15,229
-(cheers, applause)
-Yes. Um, and I remember
502
00:20:15,329 --> 00:20:17,130
being really struck
by the way the media
503
00:20:17,197 --> 00:20:20,434
talked about this case
and the disproportionate focus
504
00:20:20,534 --> 00:20:24,304
on how this case
might impact the relationship
505
00:20:24,404 --> 00:20:26,773
between the police department
and the community,
506
00:20:26,874 --> 00:20:28,308
might damage the trust,
507
00:20:28,408 --> 00:20:30,611
-Mm. -as though it was ever
there in the first place.
508
00:20:30,711 --> 00:20:33,247
And I think,
um, I was wondering
509
00:20:33,347 --> 00:20:34,982
"What about this girl?"
You know, what about
510
00:20:35,148 --> 00:20:38,652
the impact for her and the
systemic harm to young girls,
511
00:20:38,752 --> 00:20:41,622
particularly girls of color,
um, and-and
512
00:20:41,722 --> 00:20:43,724
this particular iteration
of police violence
513
00:20:43,824 --> 00:20:45,893
that I think a lot of us
don't often talk about.
514
00:20:45,993 --> 00:20:47,494
Especially when it
comes to sex work.
515
00:20:47,594 --> 00:20:50,197
You know, I-I learned things
in this book that
516
00:20:50,297 --> 00:20:53,600
I don't think I actually knew.
I don't think I concretely knew.
517
00:20:53,700 --> 00:20:55,269
They seem obvious,
but I didn't know.
518
00:20:55,369 --> 00:20:58,272
Um, and-and some-some of them
are more harrowing than others.
519
00:20:58,372 --> 00:21:00,707
You know, you look at the
history of sex work in America
520
00:21:00,807 --> 00:21:02,609
and then you look at the
exploitation
521
00:21:02,709 --> 00:21:04,578
of sex workers
and non-sex workers alike,
522
00:21:04,678 --> 00:21:07,114
and how often Black women
523
00:21:07,214 --> 00:21:09,116
-Mm-hmm.
-experience the worst atrocities
524
00:21:09,149 --> 00:21:11,118
at the hands of law enforcement,
525
00:21:11,151 --> 00:21:14,721
which-which is a strange world,
you know, to find yourself in.
526
00:21:14,821 --> 00:21:17,257
The book seems like
it's only gonna be painful,
527
00:21:17,357 --> 00:21:19,793
and it really is. You know,
in parts you cry, and then--
528
00:21:19,893 --> 00:21:21,929
and then you-you
go on this journey.
529
00:21:22,029 --> 00:21:23,597
But it also seems
like it's about hope.
530
00:21:23,697 --> 00:21:24,998
It seems like
it's about resilience.
531
00:21:25,132 --> 00:21:28,135
Is that something
you-you worked to achieve?
532
00:21:28,201 --> 00:21:30,237
I mean, absolutely.
I think we dehumanize
533
00:21:30,337 --> 00:21:33,307
Black characters if we don't
see them in their entirety,
534
00:21:33,407 --> 00:21:36,143
which means we have to see them
in moments of joy,
535
00:21:36,210 --> 00:21:38,378
in moments of grief,
in moments of, you know,
536
00:21:38,478 --> 00:21:41,448
mundane things like
making pancakes or taking a nap.
537
00:21:41,548 --> 00:21:43,917
Like, we have to be able
to see that in order to
538
00:21:44,084 --> 00:21:48,088
see someone as human and invest
in them and their world, really.
539
00:21:48,121 --> 00:21:49,656
You see that
and you feel that. You know?
540
00:21:49,756 --> 00:21:52,125
It's-it's--
The-the main character, Kiara--
541
00:21:52,226 --> 00:21:53,493
and I don't want to spoil this,
'cause I think everyone
542
00:21:53,594 --> 00:21:54,962
should just read the book--
543
00:21:55,095 --> 00:21:57,164
we see her in a position
where the world
544
00:21:57,264 --> 00:21:58,765
is not taking care of her,
545
00:21:58,865 --> 00:22:00,667
and yet she's able
to take care of somebody else.
546
00:22:00,767 --> 00:22:02,769
And as we read through
her journey, what I appreciated
547
00:22:02,869 --> 00:22:07,207
is how you
so aptly encapsulate
548
00:22:07,307 --> 00:22:08,809
the experience
of many Black women,
549
00:22:08,909 --> 00:22:11,111
-not just in America but
around the world... -Mm-hmm.
550
00:22:11,144 --> 00:22:13,747
...you know, where they are
expected to be the protectors,
551
00:22:13,847 --> 00:22:15,983
-the providers, and-and
the nurturers... -Mm-hmm.
552
00:22:16,116 --> 00:22:18,185
...and yet nobody seems
to be doing that for them.
553
00:22:18,285 --> 00:22:20,520
Yeah, there's this long history
of Black women
554
00:22:20,621 --> 00:22:23,991
and Black girls being put into
the role of caretaker
555
00:22:24,124 --> 00:22:27,327
and being, um,
kind of asked and forced into
556
00:22:27,427 --> 00:22:28,695
taking care
of everyone around them,
557
00:22:28,795 --> 00:22:31,565
which-which implicitly makes it
558
00:22:31,665 --> 00:22:33,533
so that Black women
can't take care of ourselves.
559
00:22:33,634 --> 00:22:35,602
We don't think
about ourselves first.
560
00:22:35,702 --> 00:22:37,104
Um, and I really wanted,
in this book,
561
00:22:37,204 --> 00:22:39,506
to show how Black girls
are vulnerable
562
00:22:39,606 --> 00:22:41,308
and allow us our fragility,
563
00:22:41,408 --> 00:22:42,543
allow us to be soft,
564
00:22:42,643 --> 00:22:45,712
allow us to-to be whole
and complete people.
565
00:22:45,812 --> 00:22:47,514
-(cheering and applause)
-It's a beautiful story. Yes.
566
00:22:47,614 --> 00:22:48,882
Definitely.
567
00:22:51,685 --> 00:22:53,086
It's...
568
00:22:55,322 --> 00:22:56,557
I think it's a beautiful story
569
00:22:56,657 --> 00:22:58,625
not just because
of how you've written it,
570
00:22:58,725 --> 00:22:59,826
which is truly amazing,
571
00:22:59,927 --> 00:23:03,230
and-and because of the story
it tells
572
00:23:03,330 --> 00:23:06,934
but because it makes
the character a human being.
573
00:23:07,100 --> 00:23:11,138
It is a bad time and a bad thing
that is happening to a human
574
00:23:11,238 --> 00:23:13,207
who has so many more layers
to them.
575
00:23:13,307 --> 00:23:14,374
You've written this book.
576
00:23:14,474 --> 00:23:15,909
Everybody loves it.
577
00:23:16,009 --> 00:23:17,244
I mean, you're a poet as well.
578
00:23:17,344 --> 00:23:19,246
It feels like you-you're
at the beginning of life
579
00:23:19,346 --> 00:23:20,714
and yet you've conquered
everything.
580
00:23:20,814 --> 00:23:23,317
What do you hope to achieve in
your storytelling going forward?
581
00:23:23,417 --> 00:23:26,853
I mean, I think I always want to
tell stories of Black girlhood
582
00:23:26,954 --> 00:23:30,290
and-and what it means to have
our narratives sidelined.
583
00:23:30,390 --> 00:23:33,126
And I want to put those
into our-our common idea
584
00:23:33,227 --> 00:23:36,129
of what this country is
and who we are to each other.
585
00:23:36,163 --> 00:23:38,131
You've already done that.
You're gonna do it even more.
586
00:23:38,232 --> 00:23:39,499
Thank you so much
for joining me on the show.
587
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,068
-Thank you for having me.
-You're an absolute pleasure.
588
00:23:41,101 --> 00:23:42,502
-Congratulations.
-(cheering and applause)
589
00:23:42,603 --> 00:23:43,837
Nightcrawling,
590
00:23:43,937 --> 00:23:45,973
one of the most fascinating
rides you will ever take,
591
00:23:46,073 --> 00:23:47,407
is available now.
592
00:23:47,507 --> 00:23:48,475
We're gonna take a quick break,
but we'll be right back
593
00:23:48,575 --> 00:23:50,611
-after this.
-(cheering and applause)
594
00:23:58,654 --> 00:24:00,256
-(cheering) -Well,
that's our show for tonight.
595
00:24:00,356 --> 00:24:01,991
But before we go, before we go,
596
00:24:02,091 --> 00:24:03,259
don't miss the premiere
597
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,894
of Hell of a Week
with Charlamagne Tha God.
598
00:24:04,994 --> 00:24:06,729
It's been a week,
and he's about to take it down.
599
00:24:06,829 --> 00:24:08,230
And it starts right now,
so don't move.
600
00:24:08,331 --> 00:24:09,565
Like, right now.
Now. Now. Watch it.
601
00:24:09,665 --> 00:24:11,167
Until next time,
stay safe out there.
602
00:24:11,267 --> 00:24:12,535
And, remember, recessions
603
00:24:12,635 --> 00:24:14,637
are a lot like a monster
under your bed.
604
00:24:14,737 --> 00:24:15,771
If you just ignore it,
605
00:24:15,871 --> 00:24:17,106
it'll probably kill you
in your sleep.
606
00:24:17,206 --> 00:24:18,908
Now here it is,
Your Moment of Zen.
607
00:24:19,008 --> 00:24:20,309
(cheering and applause)
608
00:24:20,409 --> 00:24:22,845
The Biden White House
waving off recession talk.
609
00:24:22,945 --> 00:24:24,246
NEWSWOMAN:
But don't expect anyone
610
00:24:24,347 --> 00:24:27,350
in the Biden administration
to start using the R-word.
611
00:24:27,450 --> 00:24:29,218
The bad news is the R-word.
612
00:24:29,318 --> 00:24:31,053
Everyone is hearing the R-word.
613
00:24:31,153 --> 00:24:33,255
The R-word. It's echoing
louder and louder.
614
00:24:33,356 --> 00:24:35,591
(distorted): The R-word
is on everyone's minds.
