1
00:00:01,535 --> 00:00:03,604
ANNOUNCER: Coming to you
from New York City,
2
00:00:03,704 --> 00:00:07,541
the only city in America,
it's The Daily Show.
3
00:00:07,641 --> 00:00:11,512
Tonight-- Trump's big,
beautiful wall is back,
4
00:00:11,612 --> 00:00:14,481
house music history,
5
00:00:14,581 --> 00:00:16,717
and Pete Buttigieg.
6
00:00:16,817 --> 00:00:21,788
This is
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah!
7
00:00:21,889 --> 00:00:25,025
(applause and cheering)
8
00:00:31,932 --> 00:00:34,067
What's going on, everybody?
9
00:00:34,168 --> 00:00:35,936
Welcome to The Daily Show.
I'm Trevor Noah.
10
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:37,437
Thank you so much for tuning in.
11
00:00:37,538 --> 00:00:39,773
Thank you
for coming out in person.
12
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:41,875
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
13
00:00:41,975 --> 00:00:43,243
Thank you so much.
14
00:00:43,343 --> 00:00:44,945
Thank you, everybody.
Take a seat.
15
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:47,848
We have got a great show
for you tonight.
16
00:00:47,948 --> 00:00:50,250
Joe Biden is building the wall,
17
00:00:50,350 --> 00:00:52,619
we learn where Beyoncé
got her groove,
18
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:54,922
and Donald Trump has found
a spooky way
19
00:00:55,022 --> 00:00:56,356
to avoid paying taxes.
20
00:00:56,456 --> 00:00:58,025
Plus the secretary
of transportation,
21
00:00:58,125 --> 00:01:00,460
Pete Buttigieg himself is
joining us on the show tonight,
22
00:01:00,561 --> 00:01:03,163
which means I'm getting a bunch
of my parking tickets canceled!
23
00:01:03,263 --> 00:01:04,765
-(applause and cheering)
-So let's do this, people.
24
00:01:04,865 --> 00:01:06,967
Let's jump straight
into today's headlines.
25
00:01:07,067 --> 00:01:09,102
-♪ ♪
-(applause and cheering)
26
00:01:13,907 --> 00:01:16,710
All right! Let's do it.
Let's do it. Let's get into it.
27
00:01:16,810 --> 00:01:18,312
Oh, before we get
into the big stories,
28
00:01:18,412 --> 00:01:20,647
let's catch up on a few
other things that are going on.
29
00:01:20,747 --> 00:01:23,984
First of all, congratulations
to someone out there
30
00:01:24,084 --> 00:01:27,120
-for winning $1.3 billion...
-(gasping)
31
00:01:27,221 --> 00:01:29,223
in the Mega Millions Lotto.
32
00:01:29,323 --> 00:01:31,425
Did you "boo" or "ooh." I don't
know what that sound was.
33
00:01:31,525 --> 00:01:33,627
(laughter)
34
00:01:33,727 --> 00:01:37,731
It's the biggest lottery payout
ever to a single winner.
35
00:01:37,831 --> 00:01:40,100
And it's wild to me that we just
gave a billion dollars
36
00:01:40,167 --> 00:01:42,236
to someone who has proven
that they're bad with money.
37
00:01:42,336 --> 00:01:44,438
-Why are you playing the
lottery?! -(laughter, applause)
38
00:01:44,538 --> 00:01:46,807
It's a terrible investment...
unless you win.
39
00:01:46,907 --> 00:01:49,376
(applause and cheering)
40
00:01:49,476 --> 00:01:52,112
Now, because Illinois has a law
41
00:01:52,212 --> 00:01:53,814
allowing lottery winners
to remain anonymous,
42
00:01:53,914 --> 00:01:55,649
we might never know
who won this money.
43
00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:57,117
But I will say this.
44
00:01:57,184 --> 00:01:58,919
If your next-door neighbor comes
to your cookout
45
00:01:59,019 --> 00:02:01,054
in a private jet,
it's probably them,
46
00:02:01,088 --> 00:02:03,390
or Kylie Jenner.
You never know.
47
00:02:03,490 --> 00:02:06,660
Meanwhile, in some shocking
entertainment news,
48
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,795
-Beyoncé isn't perfect.
-(gasping)
49
00:02:08,896 --> 00:02:11,098
Yeah. Ah, this is the part
where the tomatoes hit me.
50
00:02:11,198 --> 00:02:12,766
-I know. I know.
-(laughter)
51
00:02:12,866 --> 00:02:15,202
Well, because this morning,
Queen B said
52
00:02:15,302 --> 00:02:19,072
that she would remove the word
"spaz" from one of her new songs
53
00:02:19,173 --> 00:02:21,542
because she didn't realize
that it was ableist.
54
00:02:21,642 --> 00:02:23,343
And if you're having a bit
of déjà vu,
55
00:02:23,443 --> 00:02:25,812
it's because this comes
just a few weeks later, right,
56
00:02:25,913 --> 00:02:27,814
a few weeks after
Lizzo had to come out
57
00:02:27,915 --> 00:02:29,249
and say the same thing.
58
00:02:29,349 --> 00:02:30,918
She had to cut the same word
from a song.
59
00:02:31,084 --> 00:02:34,888
Which, honestly, must be
so exciting for Lizzo, right?
60
00:02:34,988 --> 00:02:36,890
Yeah, she's probably like,
"Oh, my God!
61
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:39,126
Beyoncé sampled my scandal!"
62
00:02:39,226 --> 00:02:41,295
-(laughter, applause)
-"This is so amazing.
63
00:02:41,395 --> 00:02:43,363
"We should do a collab
on, like, a Notes app apology.
64
00:02:43,463 --> 00:02:45,165
We should do this."
65
00:02:45,265 --> 00:02:46,800
Oh, and there's another pop star
in trouble.
66
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:48,402
This is a crazy story.
67
00:02:48,502 --> 00:02:53,874
Shakira could be facing eight
years in prison for tax fraud.
68
00:02:53,974 --> 00:02:55,943
Yeah.
The Spanish government says
69
00:02:56,109 --> 00:02:59,179
that she dodged $17 million
in taxes
70
00:02:59,279 --> 00:03:02,149
by pretending
to live in the Bahamas
71
00:03:02,249 --> 00:03:04,518
when her real residence was
in Barcelona.
72
00:03:04,618 --> 00:03:07,054
-Bahamas, Barcelona.
-(laughter)
73
00:03:07,087 --> 00:03:10,057
So, yeah, it turns out
you cannot claim your residence
74
00:03:10,090 --> 00:03:12,326
as "whenever, wherever."
That doesn't work.
75
00:03:12,426 --> 00:03:13,727
(laughter,
applause and cheering)
76
00:03:13,827 --> 00:03:16,263
It's a good lesson
for everybody here.
77
00:03:16,363 --> 00:03:18,866
And in labor news,
in labor news--
78
00:03:18,966 --> 00:03:20,534
this is one
of the weirdest stories ever--
79
00:03:20,634 --> 00:03:23,670
a Chick-fil-A in North Carolina
got into trouble
80
00:03:23,770 --> 00:03:26,139
for asking for volunteers
81
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,942
to work
the drive-through window, right?
82
00:03:29,076 --> 00:03:30,611
And the reason
it was volunteers is because
83
00:03:30,711 --> 00:03:32,412
instead of paying the workers,
the restaurant said
84
00:03:32,513 --> 00:03:35,482
that it would give them
five free meals
85
00:03:35,582 --> 00:03:37,484
for every one-hour shift
86
00:03:37,584 --> 00:03:40,287
-that they worked. Yeah.
-(laughter)
87
00:03:40,387 --> 00:03:42,122
And I will say,
it really does show you
88
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:43,924
how good Chick-fil-A is
because all of you paused
89
00:03:44,091 --> 00:03:45,592
for a second when I said this.
90
00:03:45,692 --> 00:03:47,594
Before getting angry,
you're like, "Wait. Would I...?
91
00:03:47,694 --> 00:03:49,763
-No! No!"
-(laughter)
92
00:03:49,863 --> 00:03:51,765
"Does it include
the Waffle Fries?
93
00:03:51,865 --> 00:03:55,135
-No! Boo! Boo!"
-(applause)
94
00:03:56,737 --> 00:03:58,305
So that's what's going on--
bunch of random things.
95
00:03:58,405 --> 00:03:59,706
But anyway, let's move on
96
00:03:59,806 --> 00:04:01,542
to some of the bigger
news stories of the day,
97
00:04:01,642 --> 00:04:04,444
starting with an update
on Joe Biden,
98
00:04:04,545 --> 00:04:06,046
the president
whose approval rating is going
99
00:04:06,113 --> 00:04:07,447
through its own recession.
100
00:04:07,548 --> 00:04:10,450
As you all know,
the president had COVID,
101
00:04:10,551 --> 00:04:12,152
and then recovered
from it last week.
102
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:14,354
But then,
after testing negative,
103
00:04:14,454 --> 00:04:15,589
the White House doctor
is reporting
104
00:04:15,689 --> 00:04:18,625
that Biden is now
testing positive again
105
00:04:18,725 --> 00:04:20,928
with what they call
"a rebound infection."
106
00:04:21,061 --> 00:04:23,730
And it's definitely not the
rebound Biden was hoping for.
107
00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:25,499
You know? He's like,
"Come on, Jack.
108
00:04:25,599 --> 00:04:26,900
"I want a positive
on the poll numbers.
109
00:04:27,067 --> 00:04:28,735
-Rebound. You know what I mean."
-(applause and cheering)
110
00:04:28,836 --> 00:04:30,838
"It's not a joke, man. Come on."
111
00:04:30,938 --> 00:04:34,107
So, anyway, the president
is back in isolation again.
112
00:04:34,208 --> 00:04:35,709
But the White House says,
"Don't worry.
113
00:04:35,809 --> 00:04:38,078
He's feeling fine, and he will
be working the entire time."
114
00:04:38,111 --> 00:04:42,749
Although, many of his supporters
might not love his new project.
115
00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:44,551
NEWSWOMAN: President Biden says
work can resume
116
00:04:44,651 --> 00:04:46,186
on former President Trump's
border wall.
117
00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:48,789
The White House wants four gaps
118
00:04:48,889 --> 00:04:51,291
in the fence to be filled in
near Yuma, Arizona.
119
00:04:51,391 --> 00:04:53,293
We're told it's one
of the busiest crossings
120
00:04:53,393 --> 00:04:54,928
for undocumented immigrants.
121
00:04:55,095 --> 00:04:57,598
It's another reversal of policy
for the president
122
00:04:57,698 --> 00:05:00,667
who vowed not to add
to his predecessor's efforts
123
00:05:00,767 --> 00:05:02,669
in any way on that project.
124
00:05:02,769 --> 00:05:05,038
There will not
be another foot of wall
125
00:05:05,105 --> 00:05:07,608
constructed
in my administration.
126
00:05:07,708 --> 00:05:10,043
That's right.
There will be many feet of wall.
127
00:05:10,110 --> 00:05:14,548
Ha, ha! Gotcha. 2024.
128
00:05:14,648 --> 00:05:16,483
But, yes, it looks like
Joe Biden
129
00:05:16,583 --> 00:05:20,254
is completing Donald Trump's
unfinished business.
130
00:05:20,354 --> 00:05:22,089
So...
131
00:05:22,189 --> 00:05:24,324
if I was Mike Pence
right now,
132
00:05:24,424 --> 00:05:26,460
I'd be nervous as hell.
133
00:05:28,262 --> 00:05:30,297
I'd be watching out.
134
00:05:33,066 --> 00:05:34,568
You know-you know
what I also love, what I love
135
00:05:34,668 --> 00:05:36,570
about this story
is how Fox doesn't know
136
00:05:36,670 --> 00:05:39,206
what to do with
these kind of stories. Right?
137
00:05:39,306 --> 00:05:41,875
Because they want the wall,
but they also hate Joe Biden.
138
00:05:41,975 --> 00:05:44,845
You know? They're like, "Did you
see what Biden is doing?
139
00:05:44,945 --> 00:05:46,713
"Uh, uh, he was-he was
against the wall,
140
00:05:46,813 --> 00:05:48,815
"but now he's building it.
I guess we have to vote for him?
141
00:05:48,916 --> 00:05:50,918
How does this work?"
142
00:05:51,084 --> 00:05:53,754
But you do have to admit
it is confusing. Right?
143
00:05:53,854 --> 00:05:55,756
Because Biden, he spent what,
four years
144
00:05:55,856 --> 00:05:57,257
railing against the wall.
He was like,
145
00:05:57,357 --> 00:06:01,061
"This wall is fascist, it is
racist and it's un-American,
146
00:06:01,161 --> 00:06:03,030
"and now we're gonna have it
patched up in no time, folks.
147
00:06:03,063 --> 00:06:06,099
"We're gonna fix up this wall.
We're gonna fix it all up.
148
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,369
Now, okay, the reason, the
reason the Biden administration
149
00:06:09,469 --> 00:06:11,939
gave for building Trump's wall
in these sections of Arizona
150
00:06:12,039 --> 00:06:14,575
is because they're saying
it's dangerous
151
00:06:14,675 --> 00:06:17,477
for migrants to cross
the river there. Right?
152
00:06:17,578 --> 00:06:19,346
And so they want
to put up a wall
153
00:06:19,446 --> 00:06:22,182
to stop the people
from crossing.
154
00:06:22,282 --> 00:06:25,352
Which you have admit
is a little weird
155
00:06:25,452 --> 00:06:27,588
because now they're saying
156
00:06:27,688 --> 00:06:31,225
that walls
do stop people from crossing.
157
00:06:31,325 --> 00:06:33,360
Yeah.
But they're only doing it here
158
00:06:33,460 --> 00:06:35,762
because they want to make
it safer, right,
159
00:06:35,863 --> 00:06:37,264
because the river
is super dangerous.
160
00:06:37,364 --> 00:06:39,166
So they don't want people
to try to cross here.
161
00:06:39,266 --> 00:06:41,802
Other parts, I guess.
162
00:06:41,902 --> 00:06:44,371
Although if you really wanted
to make crossing a river safer,
163
00:06:44,471 --> 00:06:46,740
then why wouldn't you just
build a bridge
164
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:48,642
instead of adding a wall?
165
00:06:48,742 --> 00:06:52,846
None of it makes sense.
None of it makes sense.
166
00:06:52,946 --> 00:06:56,717
You know why? You know why?
167
00:06:56,817 --> 00:06:59,887
'Cause it's bullshit,
that's why.
168
00:07:00,020 --> 00:07:01,889
Yeah.
This doesn't make sense.
169
00:07:02,022 --> 00:07:04,224
And, look, I can't say it for
certain, but it seems like
170
00:07:04,324 --> 00:07:07,294
the only reason they're building
a wall in these sections
171
00:07:07,394 --> 00:07:10,364
is because these sections could
affect Democratic senator
172
00:07:10,464 --> 00:07:13,734
Mark Kelly, who's running
for reelection in Arizona,
173
00:07:13,834 --> 00:07:16,303
and he's been pushing
for these sections to be filled.
174
00:07:16,403 --> 00:07:17,838
Right? When you see it
through that lens,
175
00:07:17,938 --> 00:07:21,041
it makes a lot more sense.
Migrants sneaking into Arizona?
176
00:07:21,108 --> 00:07:22,276
Uh, that's whatever.
177
00:07:22,376 --> 00:07:23,443
But Republicans
sneaking into the Senate--
178
00:07:23,544 --> 00:07:26,146
you got to
shut that shit down.
179
00:07:26,246 --> 00:07:28,282
And either way--
180
00:07:28,382 --> 00:07:30,651
either way--
181
00:07:30,751 --> 00:07:31,919
I hope this is
one of those things
182
00:07:32,052 --> 00:07:34,087
that can bring America together.
You know?
183
00:07:34,188 --> 00:07:36,456
This is one of those moments
where people can unite,
184
00:07:36,557 --> 00:07:38,158
because when you think about it,
Trump and Biden
185
00:07:38,258 --> 00:07:40,360
have more in common
than we think.
186
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:42,963
They both want
the wall filled in,
187
00:07:43,063 --> 00:07:44,531
they both have shady sons,
188
00:07:44,631 --> 00:07:46,333
and they both have
close companions
189
00:07:46,433 --> 00:07:50,070
who require annual rabies shots.
It's a beautiful,
190
00:07:50,103 --> 00:07:53,240
beautiful thing to see.
191
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:56,410
Biden and Trump.
192
00:07:56,510 --> 00:07:59,079
Oh, speaking of Trump...
193
00:08:01,448 --> 00:08:03,884
...the tangerine dream
is back in the news
194
00:08:04,017 --> 00:08:05,719
with yet another scandal,
because--
195
00:08:05,819 --> 00:08:07,154
this is one of
the wildest things ever--
196
00:08:07,254 --> 00:08:10,824
because remember how his wife,
Ivana, passed away, right?
197
00:08:10,924 --> 00:08:12,159
Really sad story,
she passed away.
198
00:08:12,259 --> 00:08:14,828
Well, it turns out the Donald
199
00:08:14,928 --> 00:08:19,399
may have managed to turn
even that into a scam.
200
00:08:19,499 --> 00:08:22,035
NEWSWOMAN: Ivana Trump, the
first wife of President Trump,
201
00:08:22,102 --> 00:08:24,571
has been laid to rest
in an unusual location:
202
00:08:24,671 --> 00:08:27,040
near the first hole
at President Trump's
203
00:08:27,074 --> 00:08:29,910
golf club
in Bedminster, New Jersey.
204
00:08:30,043 --> 00:08:32,813
The reason is unclear,
but according to Insider,
205
00:08:32,913 --> 00:08:34,848
operating a cemetery
on the golf course
206
00:08:34,948 --> 00:08:38,519
will allow President Trump to
avoid paying taxes on the land.
207
00:08:38,619 --> 00:08:40,787
Wow.
208
00:08:40,888 --> 00:08:45,125
Wow, wow, wow...
209
00:08:45,225 --> 00:08:48,095
wow.
210
00:08:48,195 --> 00:08:49,563
A lot of people say
211
00:08:49,663 --> 00:08:51,598
"I'll pay taxes
over my dead body."
212
00:08:51,698 --> 00:08:56,203
Trump means it.
Just someone else's body.
213
00:08:56,303 --> 00:08:57,971
And even for him,
this feels like a step too far.
214
00:08:58,071 --> 00:08:59,540
I don't care what anyone says.
215
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,708
Like, I-I wouldn't even
laugh at that as a joke.
216
00:09:01,808 --> 00:09:03,877
If someone said to me,
"Donald Trump's ex-wife died.
217
00:09:04,011 --> 00:09:06,013
"He's probably gonna bury her
on his golf course
218
00:09:06,046 --> 00:09:08,182
to save on taxes." I'd be like,
"Yo, that's not cool, man.
219
00:09:08,282 --> 00:09:09,783
That's not cool."
But it turns out
220
00:09:09,883 --> 00:09:12,753
Trump was like,
"Wait, wait, say more, say more.
221
00:09:12,853 --> 00:09:15,923
I'm gonna send this
to my accountant. Keep going."
222
00:09:18,625 --> 00:09:20,294
What this really shows you
223
00:09:20,394 --> 00:09:23,130
is how strange
the tax system can be.
224
00:09:23,230 --> 00:09:27,835
Like, all this tax break does is
incentivize you to be a weirdo.
225
00:09:27,935 --> 00:09:29,403
Who came up with this?
226
00:09:29,503 --> 00:09:31,505
It almost feels like the law
was written by a serial killer.
227
00:09:31,605 --> 00:09:34,942
Just like, "There should
be a law that if you bury a body
228
00:09:35,042 --> 00:09:38,212
in your yard you don't
have to pay taxes anymore."
229
00:09:39,246 --> 00:09:42,082
It's like, "Yeah, the senator
whose interns keep disappearing
230
00:09:42,182 --> 00:09:43,283
"makes a good point.
The motion passes.
231
00:09:43,383 --> 00:09:45,886
Good point, good point."
That's ridiculous.
232
00:09:46,053 --> 00:09:47,287
All right, that's it
for the headlines,
233
00:09:47,387 --> 00:09:50,057
but before we go to a break,
it's time to check in
234
00:09:50,123 --> 00:09:52,860
on the weather forecast with our
very own Desi Lydic, everybody!
235
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,396
(cheering, applause)
236
00:09:56,496 --> 00:09:58,599
Desi Lydic.
Good to see you.
237
00:09:58,699 --> 00:10:00,601
So... what's happening?
238
00:10:00,701 --> 00:10:02,603
What's happening-- the weather
has, uh, calmed down a bit.
239
00:10:02,703 --> 00:10:03,871
What the-what's the weather
looking like?
240
00:10:03,971 --> 00:10:07,341
Oh, man, it is all blue skies
and sunshine
241
00:10:07,441 --> 00:10:11,078
for whoever won
the $1.3 billion jackpot,
242
00:10:11,178 --> 00:10:12,412
I'll tell you that.
243
00:10:12,513 --> 00:10:13,881
God, I, uh...
244
00:10:13,981 --> 00:10:15,215
I wonder who...
245
00:10:15,315 --> 00:10:17,150
wonder who she is.
246
00:10:20,187 --> 00:10:21,421
I mean, it could be any of us,
247
00:10:21,522 --> 00:10:23,457
any of us in this room
right now.
248
00:10:23,557 --> 00:10:25,859
One might even wonder
why she came to work today.
249
00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:27,261
(chuckles)
250
00:10:27,361 --> 00:10:30,330
Wait, are you-- are you saying
you won the lottery?
251
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:32,266
(stammers)
Look, I'm saying
252
00:10:32,366 --> 00:10:35,302
the winner has chosen
to be anonymous.
253
00:10:35,402 --> 00:10:38,172
You know, i-in many ways,
they're building a wall
254
00:10:38,272 --> 00:10:40,974
between them and us knowing.
255
00:10:41,074 --> 00:10:43,310
But, uh, whoever she is,
256
00:10:43,410 --> 00:10:45,546
she probably has enough money
to buy her boss a new car.
257
00:10:45,646 --> 00:10:47,181
-Ha.
-Wait, wait, what-what-what...
258
00:10:47,281 --> 00:10:48,615
(cheering, laughter)
259
00:10:48,715 --> 00:10:50,517
Wait, so you--
so you-you did win?
260
00:10:50,617 --> 00:10:51,952
(cheering)
261
00:10:52,052 --> 00:10:53,287
You won the lottery?
Is that what you're saying?
262
00:10:53,387 --> 00:10:55,689
I don't know. I don't know.
Did I, Trevor?
263
00:10:55,789 --> 00:10:57,357
Who knows? Anyway, by the way,
264
00:10:57,457 --> 00:10:59,927
that Ivana story is so crazy.
265
00:11:00,060 --> 00:11:03,597
-Right? -Being laid to rest
on his golf course?
266
00:11:03,697 --> 00:11:05,632
God, I feel for all
of Trump's wives.
267
00:11:05,732 --> 00:11:07,067
Even in the afterlife,
268
00:11:07,134 --> 00:11:09,937
they still have to deal
with his balls coming at them.
269
00:11:10,070 --> 00:11:11,605
(laughter)
270
00:11:11,705 --> 00:11:13,907
(cheering and applause)
271
00:11:14,074 --> 00:11:16,109
(mutters)
272
00:11:16,210 --> 00:11:18,078
Not cool.
273
00:11:18,145 --> 00:11:20,647
For the love of God,
let her rest.
274
00:11:20,747 --> 00:11:24,251
Although, I will say, tax moves
like this are very, very common
275
00:11:24,351 --> 00:11:25,819
among the ultrawealthy,
276
00:11:25,919 --> 00:11:27,788
something I've
been reading up on recently,
277
00:11:27,888 --> 00:11:29,556
for no particular reason.
278
00:11:29,656 --> 00:11:31,859
I bought an island.
So, anyway...
279
00:11:31,959 --> 00:11:33,093
(chuckles)
280
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,428
So you're saying
that you did win the lottery.
281
00:11:34,528 --> 00:11:36,230
-What's going on here?
Did you win or not? -What? No!
282
00:11:36,330 --> 00:11:38,398
That's-- Trevor,
that's ridiculous!
283
00:11:38,498 --> 00:11:42,536
Although I will say I'm feeling
very generous tonight,
284
00:11:42,636 --> 00:11:45,906
which is why I have a special
announcement for the audience.
285
00:11:46,006 --> 00:11:48,008
Everyone in this audience,
286
00:11:48,108 --> 00:11:51,178
I am sending
all of your kids to college!
287
00:11:51,278 --> 00:11:53,580
-(cheering and applause)
-Yes.
288
00:11:55,949 --> 00:11:58,118
All of them!
289
00:11:58,151 --> 00:12:00,854
All of 'em.
Even the underachievers.
290
00:12:00,954 --> 00:12:04,157
All of 'em. I'm talking room,
board, iPads,
291
00:12:04,258 --> 00:12:06,126
the good drugs-- all of it.
292
00:12:06,226 --> 00:12:09,062
-(cheering)
-Because...
293
00:12:09,096 --> 00:12:11,064
and maybe you saw this coming--
294
00:12:11,098 --> 00:12:12,299
I'm just gonna go ahead
and say it--
295
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:14,134
I have the winning ticket.
Here it is right here.
296
00:12:14,234 --> 00:12:16,670
Right here. Can we get a--
can we get a close-up?
297
00:12:17,638 --> 00:12:20,174
-That is it!
-N-No.
298
00:12:20,274 --> 00:12:22,276
-Boom! -(protesting)
-(cheering and applause)
299
00:12:22,376 --> 00:12:24,711
-Bam!
-No. No, don't...
300
00:12:24,811 --> 00:12:26,713
don't cheer for that.
Desi, that's...
301
00:12:26,813 --> 00:12:28,081
that's not--
that's not a real ticket.
302
00:12:28,182 --> 00:12:30,551
That is it.
That is the real ticket, Trevor.
303
00:12:30,651 --> 00:12:32,386
It is absolutely 100% real.
304
00:12:32,486 --> 00:12:34,521
You can tell because it says,
"Not fake."
305
00:12:34,621 --> 00:12:35,989
It is definitely real,
306
00:12:36,089 --> 00:12:38,258
and you're not gonna blow this
for me, so back me up here.
307
00:12:38,358 --> 00:12:39,893
-I'm not blowing anything. -It's
a real ticket. I'm a winner.
308
00:12:39,993 --> 00:12:42,429
The-the winner is in--
It's someone in Illinois.
309
00:12:42,529 --> 00:12:46,500
-That's not... -Yeah. Look, no,
someone has to come forward.
310
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,169
No one has come forward yet, so
there's a window of opportunity.
311
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:52,673
Look, I can cut you in on this
if you just act cool.
312
00:12:52,773 --> 00:12:54,274
I'm not-- It's not about act--
I'm not in.
313
00:12:54,374 --> 00:12:55,509
There's no acting cool.
That thing--
314
00:12:55,609 --> 00:12:57,110
-No one's gonna be fooled
by that. -Oh, my God.
315
00:12:57,144 --> 00:12:59,112
Come on. Really?
You're gonna do this to me?
316
00:12:59,146 --> 00:13:00,581
You're gonna do this to them?
317
00:13:00,681 --> 00:13:02,516
Their children, Trevor?
318
00:13:02,616 --> 00:13:03,817
-(gasping)
-What?
319
00:13:03,917 --> 00:13:06,220
O-Okay, fine.
Guess what, audience,
320
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,856
none of your kids
are going to college!
321
00:13:08,956 --> 00:13:11,758
-(booing)
-Yeah. None of 'em! -No! No!
322
00:13:11,859 --> 00:13:14,494
Because of this man right here.
323
00:13:14,595 --> 00:13:15,896
-No...
-This man...
324
00:13:16,063 --> 00:13:17,497
Don't be fooled
by these dimples.
325
00:13:17,598 --> 00:13:19,766
He does not believe in dreams.
326
00:13:19,867 --> 00:13:21,735
He's a dream crusher.
327
00:13:21,835 --> 00:13:24,071
That makes no sense. You're
the one who promised the thing
328
00:13:24,171 --> 00:13:25,272
-and...
-Yeah. By the way, Trevor,
329
00:13:25,372 --> 00:13:26,940
you are not invited
to my island.
330
00:13:27,074 --> 00:13:29,142
Desi, you didn't
actually buy an island.
331
00:13:29,243 --> 00:13:30,644
No, I actually did. It's amazing
332
00:13:30,744 --> 00:13:32,079
what you can buy
with a credit card.
333
00:13:32,112 --> 00:13:34,348
Oh, my God, I'm so (bleep)ed.
334
00:13:34,448 --> 00:13:35,883
So much debt.
335
00:13:35,983 --> 00:13:37,117
(inhales deeply)
336
00:13:37,217 --> 00:13:38,252
I'm gonna have to see
if Chick-fil-a
337
00:13:38,352 --> 00:13:40,320
is still hiring volunteers.
338
00:13:40,420 --> 00:13:42,155
All right, Desi Lydic,
everybody.
339
00:13:42,256 --> 00:13:43,423
(cheering and applause)
340
00:13:43,524 --> 00:13:45,826
I feel like...
you put yourself in this mess.
341
00:13:45,926 --> 00:13:47,427
Don't go away.
Because after the break,
342
00:13:47,528 --> 00:13:49,830
Roy Wood Jr. will tell us
where Drake and Beyoncé
343
00:13:49,930 --> 00:13:51,231
got all of their ideas.
344
00:13:51,331 --> 00:13:52,566
We'll be right back.
345
00:13:52,666 --> 00:13:54,701
(cheering and applause)
346
00:14:04,446 --> 00:14:06,614
(cheering, applause)
347
00:14:13,455 --> 00:14:15,056
Welcome back
to The Daily Show.
348
00:14:15,156 --> 00:14:19,627
You know, Black history doesn't
just have to be for February.
349
00:14:19,728 --> 00:14:21,763
It can be
for normal-sized months, too.
350
00:14:21,863 --> 00:14:25,934
So, let's go to Roy Wood Jr.
for another episode of CP Time.
351
00:14:26,034 --> 00:14:29,070
♪ ♪
352
00:14:33,541 --> 00:14:37,212
(quietly):
Oh. There's too much whiskey.
353
00:14:37,312 --> 00:14:39,547
Ah. Well, hello.
354
00:14:39,648 --> 00:14:41,349
Welcome to CP Time,
355
00:14:41,449 --> 00:14:43,852
the only show
that's for the culture.
356
00:14:43,952 --> 00:14:46,788
Today,
we'll be discussing house music.
357
00:14:46,888 --> 00:14:48,790
When I say "house music,"
I'm not talking
358
00:14:48,890 --> 00:14:51,226
about all those weird sounds
that you hear in your home.
359
00:14:51,326 --> 00:14:52,927
The floor creaking,
360
00:14:53,028 --> 00:14:55,330
the radiator playing a beat
at 3:00 in the morning,
361
00:14:55,430 --> 00:14:57,365
or when your washing machine
beeps like crazy
362
00:14:57,465 --> 00:14:59,434
to let you know
it's done with the load.
363
00:14:59,534 --> 00:15:01,503
That's right, ladies.
364
00:15:01,603 --> 00:15:04,939
Daddy's got clean boxers
on deck.
365
00:15:05,940 --> 00:15:07,642
I'm talking about the genre
of fast-paced,
366
00:15:07,742 --> 00:15:11,313
beat-heavy dance music that's
kept the Molly industry alive
367
00:15:11,413 --> 00:15:13,114
for 40 years.
368
00:15:13,214 --> 00:15:15,183
Mm. That's the stuff.
369
00:15:15,283 --> 00:15:17,952
The music's rolling
'cause you are, too.
370
00:15:18,053 --> 00:15:21,222
House music is all the rage
these days,
371
00:15:21,323 --> 00:15:24,559
from Drake and Beyoncé,
to Swedish House Mafia,
372
00:15:24,659 --> 00:15:26,461
to Mickey Mouse's
cokehead cousin
373
00:15:26,561 --> 00:15:28,430
who lives
in the bad part of EPCOT.
374
00:15:28,563 --> 00:15:31,566
But would you believe
that this genre has its origins
375
00:15:31,666 --> 00:15:34,002
in the Black community?
376
00:15:34,102 --> 00:15:36,604
Of course you should.
It's CP Time.
377
00:15:36,705 --> 00:15:40,308
You never heard me say,
"Surprise! It's Caucasians."
378
00:15:40,408 --> 00:15:42,844
So, yes, these modern artists
stand on the shoulders
379
00:15:42,944 --> 00:15:45,013
of house music's
Black and gay founders.
380
00:15:45,113 --> 00:15:47,182
So let's talk
about some of them,
381
00:15:47,282 --> 00:15:50,585
like Francis Nicholls,
AKA Frankie Knuckles.
382
00:15:50,685 --> 00:15:52,921
Frankie started
as a deejay in New York
383
00:15:53,021 --> 00:15:57,225
at a time of ferocious backlash
against disco music.
384
00:15:57,325 --> 00:16:01,329
It was so bad that in 1979,
a crowd gathered at Chicago's
385
00:16:01,429 --> 00:16:04,199
Comiskey Park
to burn the records of artists
386
00:16:04,299 --> 00:16:08,737
in what was known
as "Disco Demolition Night."
387
00:16:08,837 --> 00:16:12,707
Even watching the footage today,
it's still a shocking sight--
388
00:16:12,807 --> 00:16:15,310
a full baseball stadium.
389
00:16:15,410 --> 00:16:17,145
By the way, here's a tip.
390
00:16:17,245 --> 00:16:19,314
If you're ever
at a mass burning,
391
00:16:19,414 --> 00:16:22,017
you're probably
on the wrong side.
392
00:16:22,117 --> 00:16:26,021
No one has ever said, "Well,
that mass burning was a success.
393
00:16:26,121 --> 00:16:28,957
Now all the orphans are safe."
394
00:16:29,057 --> 00:16:32,894
Anyway, disco was dead,
but people still wanted
395
00:16:32,994 --> 00:16:34,329
to get down in the club.
396
00:16:34,429 --> 00:16:36,865
And so Frankie Knuckles
started experimenting with
397
00:16:36,965 --> 00:16:40,568
a new style of dance music
at his home club in Chicago,
398
00:16:40,635 --> 00:16:42,470
The Warehouse.
That's where house music
399
00:16:42,570 --> 00:16:45,140
gets its name.
Not, as some people think,
400
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,841
from Dr. House.
401
00:16:46,941 --> 00:16:50,812
Although Dr. House
does love popping pills.
402
00:16:50,912 --> 00:16:52,480
With his partner Larry Levan,
403
00:16:52,580 --> 00:16:55,617
Frankie Knuckles helped
launch the house music scene
404
00:16:55,717 --> 00:16:58,720
and the careers
of many superstar DJs,
405
00:16:58,820 --> 00:17:01,189
like Ron Hardy,
who created a technique
406
00:17:01,289 --> 00:17:03,591
of extending songs indefinitely,
407
00:17:03,692 --> 00:17:05,593
bringing the crowd
to a fever pitch.
408
00:17:05,694 --> 00:17:08,763
It was so entrancing
that one night people continued
409
00:17:08,863 --> 00:17:10,532
to dance at his club
410
00:17:10,598 --> 00:17:14,269
even after a speaker
caught on fire.
411
00:17:14,369 --> 00:17:15,704
You know a song's good
412
00:17:15,804 --> 00:17:17,972
when people keep dancing
during a fire.
413
00:17:18,073 --> 00:17:21,176
That does not happen
with "Cotton-Eye Joe."
414
00:17:21,276 --> 00:17:23,545
When I hear that song
I try to start a fire,
415
00:17:23,578 --> 00:17:25,046
just so I can get away.
416
00:17:25,146 --> 00:17:27,315
Where did you come from,
where did you go?
417
00:17:27,415 --> 00:17:30,318
Out the--
out this burning house.
418
00:17:30,418 --> 00:17:31,786
And finally,
419
00:17:31,886 --> 00:17:35,156
one of the most iconic voices
of house music,
420
00:17:35,256 --> 00:17:38,560
the queen of clubland,
Martha Wash.
421
00:17:38,626 --> 00:17:41,096
Martha was half of the famous
duo The Weather Girls,
422
00:17:41,196 --> 00:17:43,898
who created some of the most
iconic music of the '80s,
423
00:17:43,999 --> 00:17:46,968
including
"It's Raining Men."
424
00:17:47,068 --> 00:17:49,037
Unfortunately,
due to climate change,
425
00:17:49,137 --> 00:17:52,073
it's raining men far harder
and longer than ever before.
426
00:17:52,173 --> 00:17:54,242
♪ Hallelujah. ♪
427
00:17:54,342 --> 00:17:56,211
After The Weather Girls
broke up,
428
00:17:56,311 --> 00:17:59,447
Martha Wash ended up
with C+C Music Factory.
429
00:17:59,581 --> 00:18:02,317
Where she sang
the unforgettable hook:
430
00:18:02,417 --> 00:18:04,886
♪ Everybody dance now. ♪
431
00:18:04,986 --> 00:18:06,421
Instantly recognizable.
432
00:18:06,521 --> 00:18:09,524
But controversy arrived with
the music video when the group
433
00:18:09,624 --> 00:18:11,826
cast a French model
434
00:18:11,926 --> 00:18:14,195
to lip sync Martha's lyrics.
435
00:18:14,295 --> 00:18:17,699
She didn't find out
until she saw the video.
436
00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:19,267
Finding out bad news
is even worse
437
00:18:19,367 --> 00:18:20,969
when it happens
on television.
438
00:18:21,069 --> 00:18:22,904
You never want the worst
moment of your life
439
00:18:23,004 --> 00:18:25,640
followed by
a Pine-Sol commercial.
440
00:18:25,740 --> 00:18:28,543
Not only that,
C+C Music Factory
441
00:18:28,576 --> 00:18:30,779
didn't even credit her
for the vocal.
442
00:18:30,879 --> 00:18:32,547
Yet another employee
443
00:18:32,647 --> 00:18:35,917
being mistreated by a factory.
444
00:18:36,017 --> 00:18:37,552
But Martha Wash pushed back
445
00:18:37,585 --> 00:18:40,555
and sued C+C Music Factory
for proper credit.
446
00:18:40,622 --> 00:18:42,957
She won the case, and that led
to federal legislation
447
00:18:43,058 --> 00:18:45,960
making vocal credits
mandatory in music.
448
00:18:46,061 --> 00:18:47,329
That's right.
449
00:18:47,429 --> 00:18:49,998
Even her lawsuits were hits.
450
00:18:50,098 --> 00:18:52,634
So whenever you see an album
that says something like,
451
00:18:52,734 --> 00:18:56,938
"Vocals by Lil Pop Vert
#TheLeanGod,"
452
00:18:57,038 --> 00:18:58,873
you can thank Martha Wash
453
00:18:58,973 --> 00:19:00,975
for whatever the hell
that meant.
454
00:19:01,076 --> 00:19:03,078
That wraps up our time
with house music,
455
00:19:03,178 --> 00:19:04,946
if you like that sort of thing,
456
00:19:05,046 --> 00:19:06,781
which, personally, I do not.
457
00:19:06,881 --> 00:19:10,118
Maybe I'm old-school, but that
type of music is undignified.
458
00:19:10,218 --> 00:19:11,920
Shaking my hips like a heathen?
459
00:19:12,020 --> 00:19:13,288
No, thank you.
460
00:19:13,388 --> 00:19:15,991
There's no commandment
about dropping it low.
461
00:19:16,091 --> 00:19:18,259
That movie Dirty Dancing
was about two people
462
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:20,061
rubbing crotches
in public places.
463
00:19:20,161 --> 00:19:22,597
-It was a terrible thing.
-(lightning crashing)
464
00:19:22,697 --> 00:19:23,665
What in the?
465
00:19:23,765 --> 00:19:25,333
WOMAN:
Roy.
466
00:19:26,368 --> 00:19:27,969
Is that you, God?
467
00:19:29,704 --> 00:19:31,539
I knew you were a Black woman!
468
00:19:31,573 --> 00:19:33,875
No. It's me, Martha Wash.
469
00:19:33,975 --> 00:19:37,078
What's this I hear about you
not liking dance music?
470
00:19:37,178 --> 00:19:40,215
Martha,
I cannot abide by dance music.
471
00:19:40,315 --> 00:19:41,549
Not a single note.
472
00:19:41,616 --> 00:19:43,018
I'm a man of culture.
473
00:19:43,118 --> 00:19:45,553
I shimmy once a decade,
and that's it.
474
00:19:45,587 --> 00:19:46,821
Nonsense.
475
00:19:46,921 --> 00:19:48,590
Everyone can dance.
476
00:19:48,690 --> 00:19:50,225
Everyone must dance.

00:19:50,325 --> 00:19:52,227

-Thank you. -It's weird, though,
'cause I've known you
513
00:21:24,126 --> 00:21:25,427
-for so long as "Mayor Pete."
-Yeah.
514
00:21:25,527 --> 00:21:26,762
Everyone knows you
as "Mayor Pete," so...
515
00:21:26,862 --> 00:21:28,096
I'll always answer
to Major Pete. It's, uh...
516
00:21:28,197 --> 00:21:29,398
-Oh, you will?
-Yeah, sure.
517
00:21:29,498 --> 00:21:30,732
So you won't get offended?
You won't be like,
518
00:21:30,832 --> 00:21:32,534
"No, it's Secretary Mayor Pete."
No?
519
00:21:32,634 --> 00:21:35,170
-That works, too. Yeah. -Okay,
okay, well, congratulations
520
00:21:35,270 --> 00:21:37,105
on the new job. We haven't seen
you since you've gotten it.
521
00:21:37,206 --> 00:21:38,840
-Yeah. -You know,
it's been a lively period
522
00:21:38,941 --> 00:21:40,275
for you to be in this position.
523
00:21:40,375 --> 00:21:41,677
Let's start with the
most important question maybe.
524
00:21:41,777 --> 00:21:45,480
-Yeah. -There was
a $1.2 trillion
525
00:21:45,581 --> 00:21:46,815
-infrastructure bill that was
passed, yes? -That's right.
526
00:21:46,915 --> 00:21:48,183
-If my memory serves me correct?
-Yeah.
527
00:21:48,283 --> 00:21:49,418
So that's taxpayer money,
and everyone paid for that
528
00:21:49,518 --> 00:21:51,186
infrastructure.
You're the person
529
00:21:51,286 --> 00:21:52,821
who's doing a lot
of the infrastructure.
530
00:21:52,921 --> 00:21:54,556
-So, where's our money, Pete?
What's happening? -(laughter)
531
00:21:54,656 --> 00:21:56,458
-What are you doing with the
money? -Well, it's going great.
532
00:21:56,558 --> 00:21:59,361
Last week, we announced a use
of part of the money
533
00:21:59,461 --> 00:22:02,331
in order to make more
transit stations accessible.
534
00:22:02,431 --> 00:22:04,399
A couple of weeks before that,
we put out the first wave
535
00:22:04,499 --> 00:22:06,101
of airport terminal grants.
536
00:22:06,201 --> 00:22:08,937
We're improving 84 airport
terminals around the country.
537
00:22:09,104 --> 00:22:10,405
This morning,
I was in New Jersey.
538
00:22:10,505 --> 00:22:11,974
There's a bridge there--
the Portal North Bridge, right?
539
00:22:12,107 --> 00:22:15,711
-(person whoops) -A couple of
folks here might recognize it.
540
00:22:15,811 --> 00:22:18,113
-(applause and cheering)
-But this bridge--
541
00:22:18,180 --> 00:22:21,283
it's the finest
construction engineering
542
00:22:21,383 --> 00:22:22,751
from the
Roosevelt administration.
543
00:22:22,851 --> 00:22:24,686
-Uh-huh. -The Teddy Roosevelt
administration.
544
00:22:24,786 --> 00:22:27,522
-(laughter) -Wow.
-It is 111 years old.
545
00:22:27,623 --> 00:22:29,391
And when they swing it back
into place,
546
00:22:29,491 --> 00:22:31,426
sometimes it works so poorly
547
00:22:31,527 --> 00:22:33,328
that workers have
to take sledgehammers
548
00:22:33,428 --> 00:22:35,130
in order
to get the rails to align.
549
00:22:35,197 --> 00:22:37,533
-Damn. -We're rebuilding
the bridge completely.
550
00:22:37,633 --> 00:22:39,334
We broke ground on it
this morning with the governor.
551
00:22:39,434 --> 00:22:41,403
And it's just one of a lot
of more things we're doing
552
00:22:41,503 --> 00:22:42,938
-uh, with this...
-Sounds really exciting.
553
00:22:43,038 --> 00:22:45,407
Yeah, we're... I mean, it's
everything that we've wanted
554
00:22:45,507 --> 00:22:47,843
-for a long time in American
infrastructure.... -Mm-hmm.
555
00:22:47,943 --> 00:22:50,379
...after years and years,
years and years of talk.
556
00:22:50,479 --> 00:22:52,614
The last president talked
a good game about this.
557
00:22:52,714 --> 00:22:54,082
Now we're actually
getting it done.
558
00:22:54,149 --> 00:22:56,118
-(applause and cheering)
-Okay, so let's talk
559
00:22:56,218 --> 00:22:57,819
about what you're getting done,
how you're getting it done
560
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,354
and why.
561
00:22:59,454 --> 00:23:00,789
It's interesting
that you say that.
562
00:23:00,889 --> 00:23:03,659
This is something
I find particularly strange
563
00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:05,527
in American politics.
564
00:23:05,627 --> 00:23:06,962
-Everybody likes infrastructure.
-Mm.
565
00:23:07,095 --> 00:23:08,730
However, it seems like
566
00:23:08,830 --> 00:23:11,967
people are more or less likely
to like it
567
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:14,136
depending on who is building
the infrastructure.
568
00:23:14,236 --> 00:23:15,904
So, to your point, Trump said,
from the beginning, he's like,
569
00:23:16,004 --> 00:23:17,372
"I want to improve
America's infrastructure."
570
00:23:17,472 --> 00:23:18,740
People were like, "This is
great." You know, and then,
571
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,342
when Biden said it,
it feels like a lot
572
00:23:20,442 --> 00:23:22,311
a lot of Republicans have said,
"Oh, no, no, we don't like it.
573
00:23:22,411 --> 00:23:23,679
"We don't like
where you're spending the money,
574
00:23:23,779 --> 00:23:25,113
how you're spending the money."
575
00:23:25,214 --> 00:23:26,815
When you go
to these actual communities--
576
00:23:26,915 --> 00:23:28,250
'cause that's
what infrastructure affects,
577
00:23:28,350 --> 00:23:29,985
-the actual communities--
-Yeah.
578
00:23:30,118 --> 00:23:31,954
do you find
that it is still as partisan,
579
00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:33,455
or when you get on the ground,
580
00:23:33,555 --> 00:23:36,758
does it have more of, like, a...
just an American feel to it?
581
00:23:36,859 --> 00:23:39,428
No, in the communities,
it's incredibly bipartisan.
582
00:23:39,528 --> 00:23:41,730
I'm in red states,
blue states, purple states.
583
00:23:41,830 --> 00:23:43,599
People don't care about
the party of the president.
584
00:23:43,699 --> 00:23:45,601
-They want to get the job done.
-Mm-hmm.
585
00:23:45,701 --> 00:23:47,870
I mean, I was in one
of the reddest parts
586
00:23:47,970 --> 00:23:51,974
of Indiana, Southern Indiana,
where we're upgrading a port
587
00:23:52,074 --> 00:23:53,809
in a tiny community called
"Tell City."
588
00:23:53,909 --> 00:23:56,645
About 7,000 people
in that whole community.
589
00:23:56,745 --> 00:23:58,380
And the port is on the river.
590
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,550
It's actually just a crane
on a barge, basically.
591
00:24:01,650 --> 00:24:03,785
We're upgrading that.
We went there to celebrate
592
00:24:03,886 --> 00:24:05,787
what that's going to do
to help them get pig iron
593
00:24:05,888 --> 00:24:08,223
-that comes in on barges
on the river. -I see.
594
00:24:08,323 --> 00:24:10,158
And not a single person asked me
595
00:24:10,259 --> 00:24:12,961
about Republican-Democrat stuff
among the residents there.
596
00:24:13,095 --> 00:24:14,596
They were just excited.
597
00:24:14,696 --> 00:24:17,866
Now, there were a lot of people
on Capitol Hill who voted "no."
598
00:24:17,966 --> 00:24:20,135
Although I will say, quite
a few Republicans came over
599
00:24:20,235 --> 00:24:22,304
and voted with Democrats
to get this done.
600
00:24:22,404 --> 00:24:23,772
What I will also say is,
a lot of the ones
601
00:24:23,872 --> 00:24:25,541
who voted against it
have not hesitated
602
00:24:25,641 --> 00:24:28,143
to write us letters about how
they'd now like that funding
603
00:24:28,243 --> 00:24:31,747
-to go to their districts which
I take to be... -(laughter)
604
00:24:31,847 --> 00:24:35,751
And, you know, we're going to do
this without regard to politics.
605
00:24:35,851 --> 00:24:38,420
I just consider it,
in policy world,
606
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,422
-I'd call it the sincerest form
of flattery. -Oh.
607
00:24:40,522 --> 00:24:41,823
-When they vote against your
stuff... -Right, right, right.
608
00:24:41,924 --> 00:24:43,458
...and then they ask you
to send it to their district.
609
00:24:43,559 --> 00:24:45,127
-And then still ask you for you
to come and do the stuff -Yeah.
610
00:24:45,227 --> 00:24:46,461
that they voted against.
611
00:24:46,562 --> 00:24:47,963
It is an interesting position
to be in,
612
00:24:48,130 --> 00:24:50,065
because, you know,
as a secretary, in many ways,
613
00:24:50,132 --> 00:24:52,668
you have to remove the politics
from your job.
614
00:24:52,768 --> 00:24:54,536
-Yup. -Even though
you are fulfilling the mandate
615
00:24:54,636 --> 00:24:56,205
of a person
who is inherently political.
616
00:24:56,305 --> 00:24:59,107
You're going around the country,
you're improving the roads,
617
00:24:59,208 --> 00:25:00,442
you're trying
to change how America operates.
618
00:25:00,542 --> 00:25:02,678
One of the biggest things
we've seen is recently is
619
00:25:02,778 --> 00:25:04,713
Senator Joe Manchin jumping
on board and saying,
620
00:25:04,813 --> 00:25:06,982
"Okay, let's get some
of this money going for..."
621
00:25:07,082 --> 00:25:08,483
What is it now?
622
00:25:08,584 --> 00:25:10,519
-The-the Inflation...
-Inflation Reduction Act.
623
00:25:10,619 --> 00:25:12,487
Inflation reduction Act.
Great. Um,
624
00:25:12,588 --> 00:25:14,189
and it seems like
there's still a lot of tension
625
00:25:14,289 --> 00:25:16,892
-around EVs, electric vehicles.
-Yeah.
626
00:25:16,992 --> 00:25:19,628
I've-I've seen some of your
clips online. They get cut up.
627
00:25:19,728 --> 00:25:21,129
People splice it, they
make it seem like
628
00:25:21,230 --> 00:25:23,131
you're saying
what you're not saying.
629
00:25:23,232 --> 00:25:24,700
Uh, I-I won't cut you off,
so I--
630
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,235
but I would-would
like to know,
631
00:25:26,335 --> 00:25:29,404
why is the electric vehicle
a better option for Americans
632
00:25:29,504 --> 00:25:31,640
if-if there are people who
are saying, "Well, this is our
633
00:25:31,740 --> 00:25:33,876
"taxes. Why don't we just use
the taxes for other purposes?
634
00:25:33,976 --> 00:25:36,144
Why force that money to go into
the world of electric cars?"
635
00:25:36,245 --> 00:25:38,947
Right. So, first of all,
it's, uh,
636
00:25:39,114 --> 00:25:40,482
a very important part
of how we fight climate change.
637
00:25:40,582 --> 00:25:43,785
'Cause transportation is the
biggest sector in our economy
638
00:25:43,886 --> 00:25:45,487
that's emitting these
greenhouse gasses.
639
00:25:45,587 --> 00:25:47,589
But also, it's better
for drivers.
640
00:25:47,689 --> 00:25:50,893
You spend less money on gas.
Even with normal gas prices, uh,
641
00:25:51,059 --> 00:25:52,628
there would be a savings to
having an electric vehicle.
642
00:25:52,728 --> 00:25:54,763
Uh, and there's
less maintenance.
643
00:25:54,863 --> 00:25:56,265
So it's a win-win-win.
644
00:25:56,365 --> 00:25:58,433
Plus, this is where
the automotive industry
645
00:25:58,534 --> 00:26:00,702
is going anyway, globally.
So it's really important
646
00:26:00,802 --> 00:26:02,671
to make sure that
we're competing--
647
00:26:02,771 --> 00:26:04,673
that-that our competitiveness
is such that
648
00:26:04,773 --> 00:26:08,110
this is a "made in America"
electric vehicle revolution.
649
00:26:08,210 --> 00:26:12,347
Now, it's more ideological than
it should be on Capitol Hill.
650
00:26:12,447 --> 00:26:15,417
Uh, but again,
the-the same constituents
651
00:26:15,517 --> 00:26:17,586
who, uh, who are watching this
652
00:26:17,686 --> 00:26:19,888
back-and-forth on Capitol Hill--
653
00:26:19,988 --> 00:26:21,790
they're also
seeing the Super Bowl ads.
654
00:26:21,890 --> 00:26:23,926
-They know what an EV
actually costs. -Mm-hmm.
655
00:26:24,092 --> 00:26:26,161
And hopefully they're
seeing we're about to bring
656
00:26:26,261 --> 00:26:29,131
that cost lower through
the Inflation Reduction Act.
657
00:26:29,231 --> 00:26:31,200
So, some of the same
politicians who were
658
00:26:31,300 --> 00:26:34,469
beating us up about EVs--
saying they're too expensive--
659
00:26:34,570 --> 00:26:37,573
they have a chance coming up
to vote to make them cheaper.
660
00:26:37,673 --> 00:26:39,107
We'll see what they do.
661
00:26:39,208 --> 00:26:40,876
When you look at
the improvements
662
00:26:40,976 --> 00:26:42,344
in American infrastructure,
you look at the cars
663
00:26:42,444 --> 00:26:44,379
and look at the trains--
664
00:26:44,479 --> 00:26:47,216
I'm-I'm constantly
amazed at how,
665
00:26:47,316 --> 00:26:49,851
just in the American idea,
666
00:26:49,952 --> 00:26:53,722
trains seem to be a completely
alien concept, you know?
667
00:26:53,822 --> 00:26:55,791
Whe-When you travel to Europe,
668
00:26:55,891 --> 00:26:57,159
you see what they're
doing with the trains.
669
00:26:57,259 --> 00:26:58,527
I mean, Japan was one of
the most amazing experiences
670
00:26:58,627 --> 00:27:00,829
-I've ever had. You just
get anywhere on a train
671
00:27:00,929 --> 00:27:03,899
almost instantly.
And in America, people almost,
672
00:27:04,066 --> 00:27:05,801
you know, make it seem like
it's un-American
673
00:27:05,901 --> 00:27:09,071
to not drive a car
and prefer a train.
674
00:27:09,137 --> 00:27:10,873
I know when
Obama came into power, he said
675
00:27:10,973 --> 00:27:12,307
we should get
high-speed rail going.
676
00:27:12,407 --> 00:27:13,976
That was completely thrown out.
677
00:27:14,076 --> 00:27:16,111
I-- Uh, you are the
transportation secretary.
678
00:27:16,211 --> 00:27:18,447
Is-- Are you focusing on that?
Is there a world
679
00:27:18,547 --> 00:27:19,882
where we'll get,
like, super fast trains
680
00:27:19,982 --> 00:27:21,483
that take people across
the country, to rural parts
681
00:27:21,583 --> 00:27:23,752
of the country, the, like,
will it revitalize the country?
682
00:27:23,852 --> 00:27:25,187
Yeah, and we're taking the
first steps
683
00:27:25,287 --> 00:27:27,723
in that direction right now.
Look, I-I thought I was
684
00:27:27,823 --> 00:27:30,859
the biggest train person I know,
but in this administration,
685
00:27:30,959 --> 00:27:32,861
I'm always gonna be second place
after the president
686
00:27:32,961 --> 00:27:35,731
-when comes to enthusiasm for
passenger rail. -Of course, yes.
687
00:27:35,831 --> 00:27:37,466
Uh, look, frankly,
the first order of business
688
00:27:37,566 --> 00:27:38,834
is to take care
of what we've got.
689
00:27:38,934 --> 00:27:41,336
We've got a huge backlog
because, uh,
690
00:27:41,436 --> 00:27:42,671
there's-there's been a lot of
resistance to investing
691
00:27:42,771 --> 00:27:44,306
in our rail networks, but
692
00:27:44,406 --> 00:27:46,275
-we also have another-- -Where
is the resistance coming from?
693
00:27:46,375 --> 00:27:48,143
You know, some of it's
ideological, some of it's
694
00:27:48,243 --> 00:27:50,445
cultural, but the-the
way I see it is
695
00:27:50,546 --> 00:27:53,649
why shouldn't Americans have
the best rail in the world
696
00:27:53,749 --> 00:27:55,651
if we're a competitive country
and-and we believe
697
00:27:55,751 --> 00:27:57,286
that we ought to be the best
in everything?
698
00:27:57,386 --> 00:27:59,888
You know, you mentioned the-the
standard that the Japanese--
699
00:28:00,055 --> 00:28:02,391
I mean, never mind
just the Japanese standard, uh,
700
00:28:02,491 --> 00:28:05,160
i-if you're in Italy or Morocco
or Turkey,
701
00:28:05,260 --> 00:28:07,763
you can routinely expect
faster rail service
702
00:28:07,863 --> 00:28:10,365
than in the U.S.
We can and must change that,
703
00:28:10,465 --> 00:28:12,067
-Right. -and it begins with
what we're doing with this bill.
704
00:28:12,134 --> 00:28:13,502
Because sometimes
I'll be driving, let's say
705
00:28:13,602 --> 00:28:15,204
I'll be driving from,
like, the airport--
706
00:28:15,304 --> 00:28:16,538
and we're gonna talk
about airports as well--
707
00:28:16,638 --> 00:28:19,508
driving from the airport
coming into New York City,
708
00:28:19,608 --> 00:28:22,277
and then I'll be driving past
people in a train,
709
00:28:22,377 --> 00:28:24,413
and I see them
looking at the cars going,
710
00:28:24,513 --> 00:28:27,716
"But we're in a train."
711
00:28:27,816 --> 00:28:30,385
And I'm in the traffic like,
"You guys are in a train."
712
00:28:30,485 --> 00:28:31,887
They should be going
faster than me, right?
713
00:28:31,987 --> 00:28:33,822
The-the logic-- -That is how
that generally should work.
714
00:28:33,922 --> 00:28:35,190
-They should be going faster.
-It should work that way.
715
00:28:35,290 --> 00:28:37,192
Why isn't it going that way?
What's going wrong?
716
00:28:37,292 --> 00:28:38,660
Because you get
what you pay for.
717
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,496
And this country, for basically
as long as you and I
718
00:28:41,597 --> 00:28:44,733
-have been alive, has been
underinvesting in rail. -I see.
719
00:28:44,833 --> 00:28:47,236
And when you do that,
there is a real cost to that.
720
00:28:47,336 --> 00:28:49,037
And-and by the way,
it's a win-win when you do it,
721
00:28:49,137 --> 00:28:51,306
'cause if you do
have great rail,
722
00:28:51,406 --> 00:28:53,242
that's even good for
the people who are in the cars,
723
00:28:53,342 --> 00:28:55,310
-Yes. Exactly. -'cause there's
less congestion on the road.
724
00:28:55,410 --> 00:28:57,112
Same reason we're investing
in transit right now.
725
00:28:57,212 --> 00:28:59,214
It makes all the sense in
the world-- it always did-- but
726
00:28:59,314 --> 00:29:01,817
that much more now that we're
facing this climate challenge.
727
00:29:01,917 --> 00:29:03,151
You're not just
investing in transit, though,
728
00:29:03,252 --> 00:29:05,053
you're investing
in the roads themselves.
729
00:29:05,087 --> 00:29:06,388
I know you made headlines when--
730
00:29:06,488 --> 00:29:08,590
and correct me if I paraphrase
you incorrectly--
731
00:29:08,690 --> 00:29:09,758
but, I mean, you-you
basically said that
732
00:29:09,858 --> 00:29:13,061
America's roads are racist.
Right?
733
00:29:13,161 --> 00:29:14,663
-Not exactly what I said.
-Okay, not exactly what--
734
00:29:14,763 --> 00:29:16,598
-Yeah.
-No, no, no, no. So, so, no.
735
00:29:16,698 --> 00:29:18,133
-But the-- -'Cause I understood
what you were saying, but--
736
00:29:18,233 --> 00:29:20,068
-Say it, say it. -Yeah, but
the point is, look, there are
737
00:29:20,168 --> 00:29:22,437
many places in the U.S. where
738
00:29:22,538 --> 00:29:25,374
-a road or a railroad was used
-Yes.
739
00:29:25,474 --> 00:29:27,743
to divide or segregate
740
00:29:27,843 --> 00:29:29,144
or even remove a neighborhood.
741
00:29:29,244 --> 00:29:30,445
-Typically a Black neighborhood,
right? -I completely--
742
00:29:30,546 --> 00:29:31,613
-I completely understand.
-Think about it-- I mean,
743
00:29:31,713 --> 00:29:33,115
the very fact that
we have the phrase
744
00:29:33,215 --> 00:29:34,516
-"wrong side of the tracks"
-Yes.
745
00:29:34,616 --> 00:29:35,984
in American English language
746
00:29:36,084 --> 00:29:38,220
tells you something
about how infrastructure--
747
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,722
which is supposed to connect--
can also be used
748
00:29:40,822 --> 00:29:42,991
to divide,
often on racial lines,
749
00:29:43,091 --> 00:29:44,193
and we've got to face that,
750
00:29:44,293 --> 00:29:45,694
and we can do something
about that.
751
00:29:45,794 --> 00:29:47,563
What can you do about that?
752
00:29:47,663 --> 00:29:49,031
Are you going to...
753
00:29:49,064 --> 00:29:51,366
Are you gonna rip up the roads?
This is what people say.
754
00:29:51,466 --> 00:29:52,768
They say, "Pete-Pete Buttigieg
is coming.
755
00:29:52,868 --> 00:29:54,136
"He's gonna rip up the highways.
756
00:29:54,236 --> 00:29:56,038
"W-We-- There's gonna be
no more highways anymore.
757
00:29:56,138 --> 00:29:57,439
-Everyone's just gonna be on the
backroads." -No more highways.
758
00:29:57,539 --> 00:29:59,875
No more highways. What are you
actually planning to do
759
00:30:00,042 --> 00:30:01,476
to try and right
many of those wrongs?
760
00:30:01,577 --> 00:30:03,145
So what we're doing
is now that we're making
761
00:30:03,245 --> 00:30:05,814
the biggest investment
in highways and roads
762
00:30:05,914 --> 00:30:07,316
since the Eisenhower
administration,
763
00:30:07,416 --> 00:30:08,650
we're gonna get it right.
764
00:30:08,750 --> 00:30:10,752
And that includes recognizing
that infrastructure
765
00:30:10,852 --> 00:30:12,955
is supposed to connect,
not divide.
766
00:30:13,055 --> 00:30:16,091
Some places, that might mean
that, uh, you've got a-a road
767
00:30:16,191 --> 00:30:17,726
that's-that's cutting up
a neighborhood.
768
00:30:17,826 --> 00:30:20,295
It needs to go underground and
then you can put a cap over it
769
00:30:20,395 --> 00:30:21,830
and then you can put a park
in that cap
770
00:30:21,930 --> 00:30:23,332
and create value
in the whole neighborhood.
771
00:30:23,432 --> 00:30:25,300
Sometimes it doesn't have to be
as elaborate
772
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:26,902
and expensive as that.
773
00:30:27,069 --> 00:30:29,872
Maybe it's creating a transit
link or a pedestrian bridge.
774
00:30:29,972 --> 00:30:31,740
It's gonna look different
in every community.
775
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,710
-Mm-hmm. -But the point is,
every community is coming to us
776
00:30:34,810 --> 00:30:36,678
with ideas about how to do this.
777
00:30:36,778 --> 00:30:39,681
And-and the thing is,
everybody wins when we do this.
778
00:30:39,781 --> 00:30:42,517
Nobody's worse off
when we reconnect areas
779
00:30:42,618 --> 00:30:44,786
that have been separated
or segregated.
780
00:30:44,887 --> 00:30:47,189
And I don't know why anybody
would be against us doing that
781
00:30:47,289 --> 00:30:50,058
when the whole point
of transportation is to connect,
782
00:30:50,158 --> 00:30:51,627
not to divide.
783
00:30:51,727 --> 00:30:53,028
-(applause) -I think the reason
a lot of people would be
784
00:30:53,128 --> 00:30:56,231
against it is almost
self-explanatory, you know?
785
00:30:56,331 --> 00:30:59,034
People want to be here, and they
want other people to be there.
786
00:30:59,134 --> 00:31:00,702
Airports are something
I-I definitely want
787
00:31:00,802 --> 00:31:02,437
-to talk to you about. This-this
is a weird situation. -Yeah.
788
00:31:02,538 --> 00:31:03,805
-I know you tweeted about it.
-Mm.
789
00:31:03,906 --> 00:31:05,541
And I know, um,
Senator Elizabeth Warren
790
00:31:05,641 --> 00:31:07,009
came out saying, like, "This
is-- this is what we should do.
791
00:31:07,109 --> 00:31:09,144
We should fine the airlines."
(stammers)
792
00:31:09,244 --> 00:31:12,281
-Anyone who's flown knows
how difficult it can be. -Yeah.
793
00:31:12,381 --> 00:31:15,350
The airline can almost do
anything to you with impunity.
794
00:31:15,450 --> 00:31:16,785
They can cancel your flight.
795
00:31:16,885 --> 00:31:19,388
They can delay your flight
ten times and then cancel it.
796
00:31:19,488 --> 00:31:20,889
Then they'll tell you,
"We won't give you the money.
797
00:31:20,989 --> 00:31:22,724
We'll give you a credit." And
then your credit may be used,
798
00:31:22,824 --> 00:31:24,193
-may be not be used.
-Yeah.
799
00:31:24,293 --> 00:31:26,361
So, this is important-- a little
bit of news you can use.
800
00:31:26,461 --> 00:31:28,797
-Okay.
-If they cancel your flight,
801
00:31:28,897 --> 00:31:30,632
you are entitled
to a cash refund,
802
00:31:30,732 --> 00:31:32,668
and we enforce that rule.
803
00:31:32,768 --> 00:31:34,002
Uh, a lot of people
don't know that.
804
00:31:34,102 --> 00:31:35,971
-So, you get canceled.
You call the airline. -Yes.
805
00:31:36,071 --> 00:31:38,040
They're like, "Well, we'll-we'll
give you 2,000 miles.
806
00:31:38,140 --> 00:31:39,808
-How's that sound?" And that
might sound good. -Uh-huh.
807
00:31:39,908 --> 00:31:41,843
That's worth, uh,
about 20 bucks.
808
00:31:41,944 --> 00:31:44,146
And you are entitled
809
00:31:44,246 --> 00:31:46,315
to potentially hundreds
of dollars in refunds.
810
00:31:46,415 --> 00:31:48,417
But I'm-I'm entitled,
but how do I actually get that?
811
00:31:48,517 --> 00:31:50,719
Like, do I send you?
Do you, like, do something?
812
00:31:50,819 --> 00:31:52,287
-How do we make this happen?
-(chuckles) Call me up.
813
00:31:52,387 --> 00:31:53,989
-No. -No, 'cause people are
getting their flights canceled
814
00:31:54,089 --> 00:31:55,424
and they don't-- Really.
They don't know how do...
815
00:31:55,524 --> 00:31:56,892
-No, no. This is the...
-How do we use the enforcement?
816
00:31:56,992 --> 00:31:58,961
Yeah. So, uh, first of all,
when you ask them
817
00:31:59,094 --> 00:32:00,262
to give you a refund,
they have to do it.
818
00:32:00,362 --> 00:32:02,097
But if they don't, come to us.
819
00:32:02,197 --> 00:32:04,566
We have an entire office
of Aviation Consumer Protection.
820
00:32:04,666 --> 00:32:06,001
-Ah. Okay. -We enforce this.
Matter of fact--
821
00:32:06,101 --> 00:32:07,903
And we were doing it-- It wasn't
just a "this summer" thing.
822
00:32:08,003 --> 00:32:10,405
Last year, we actually issued
the biggest fine
823
00:32:10,505 --> 00:32:12,474
in the history of the program
because an airline
824
00:32:12,574 --> 00:32:14,409
was failing
to promptly refund people.
825
00:32:14,509 --> 00:32:16,411
We got a website.
You can go to the DOT website
826
00:32:16,511 --> 00:32:18,413
and look up more about
your rights as an air consumer.
827
00:32:18,513 --> 00:32:20,983
-Okay. -But know your rights,
because we have your back.
828
00:32:21,116 --> 00:32:23,151
-I like that. Okay, send Pete.
-(cheering and applause)
829
00:32:23,252 --> 00:32:24,887
That's what the people
should say. Send Pete.
830
00:32:24,987 --> 00:32:28,857
Um, last but not least,
last but not least...
831
00:32:28,957 --> 00:32:30,459
you know,
midterms are coming up.
832
00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:31,994
People are, uh...
833
00:32:32,127 --> 00:32:34,596
It's America. People
are looking at 2024 already.
834
00:32:34,696 --> 00:32:38,267
It's interesting because
a new New Hampshire poll
835
00:32:38,367 --> 00:32:40,702
came out recently, which, uh,
836
00:32:40,802 --> 00:32:43,839
had you slightly edging
President Biden
837
00:32:43,939 --> 00:32:46,141
in the race for 2024.
838
00:32:46,208 --> 00:32:47,709
Now, I-I know you are secretary,
839
00:32:47,809 --> 00:32:49,511
so you can't say anything
about that and it's political
840
00:32:49,611 --> 00:32:50,879
and you're not--
Obviously, he's your boss.
841
00:32:50,979 --> 00:32:52,447
You're not gonna say
anything bad and you won't.
842
00:32:52,548 --> 00:32:55,150
But-but-- And-and if I say
to you, "Are you gonna run?"
843
00:32:55,250 --> 00:32:57,085
No, and if I say, "Are you
gonna run?" you wouldn't say
844
00:32:57,119 --> 00:32:58,353
you're gonna run or what--
But I just want to know,
845
00:32:58,453 --> 00:33:00,088
when you see a poll like that,
does it give you
846
00:33:00,122 --> 00:33:01,790
a little more swag in meetings
with the president?
847
00:33:01,890 --> 00:33:02,991
Does it give you, like,
a little...
848
00:33:03,091 --> 00:33:04,726
Like, if he says something
to him, are you--
849
00:33:04,826 --> 00:33:06,228
-are you ever like, "Yo, Joe"?
-(cheering)
850
00:33:06,328 --> 00:33:08,764
-Like, is there ever, like, a...
-Look...
851
00:33:10,299 --> 00:33:12,401
If I want to look good
in front of my boss,
852
00:33:12,501 --> 00:33:15,270
the best thing I can do
is have just broken ground
853
00:33:15,370 --> 00:33:17,472
on a major project
like we did today in New Jersey.
854
00:33:17,573 --> 00:33:19,174
That's gonna be my focus,
'cause that's my job.
855
00:33:19,274 --> 00:33:20,976
-So slick!
-(cheering and applause)
856
00:33:21,109 --> 00:33:22,544
So good at what you do!
857
00:33:22,644 --> 00:33:24,546
-Thank you so much for joining
me on the show. -Thank you.
858
00:33:24,646 --> 00:33:25,847
Keep building roads.
859
00:33:25,948 --> 00:33:27,316
Faster trains.
860
00:33:27,416 --> 00:33:29,184
Pete Buttigieg, everybody.
We're gonna take a quick break,
861
00:33:29,284 --> 00:33:30,986
but we'll be right back
after this.
862
00:33:31,119 --> 00:33:32,120
Thank you very much.
863
00:33:32,221 --> 00:33:33,722
Great having you back again.
864
00:33:33,822 --> 00:33:35,858
(cheering and applause)
865
00:33:38,632 --> 00:33:39,599
(cheering and applause)
866
00:33:39,699 --> 00:33:40,934
Well, that's our show
for tonight.
867
00:33:41,034 --> 00:33:42,269
Thank you so much for tuning in.
868
00:33:42,369 --> 00:33:43,870
But before we go, before we go,
869
00:33:43,970 --> 00:33:44,971
I just wanted to let you know
870
00:33:45,071 --> 00:33:46,806
that recovery efforts
are underway
871
00:33:46,907 --> 00:33:48,608
after record-breaking
floodwaters
872
00:33:48,708 --> 00:33:50,277
have hit Eastern Kentucky.
873
00:33:50,377 --> 00:33:52,312
The Foundation
for Appalachian Kentucky
874
00:33:52,412 --> 00:33:55,081
are doing all they can
to help those efforts.
875
00:33:55,182 --> 00:33:57,684
So, if you can, please,
consider supporting them
876
00:33:57,784 --> 00:33:59,819
and the important work
that they do at the link below.
877
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:01,755
Until next time,
stay safe out there.
878
00:34:01,855 --> 00:34:04,724
And remember--
you haven't lost a loved one.
879
00:34:04,824 --> 00:34:06,159
You've gained a tax break.
880
00:34:06,259 --> 00:34:08,228
-(gasping, laughter) -Now here
it is, Your Moment of Zen.
881
00:34:08,328 --> 00:34:11,031
♪ ♪
882
00:34:11,131 --> 00:34:14,301
Who would win in a battle
between a bear and some pigs?
883
00:34:14,401 --> 00:34:16,203
Don't get too close
to the sea lions.
884
00:34:16,303 --> 00:34:18,238
Imagine heading outside
to start your day
885
00:34:18,338 --> 00:34:20,674
and getting a face full
of spiderweb.
886
00:34:20,774 --> 00:34:22,976
Whales are living
their best lives.
887
00:34:23,076 --> 00:34:26,713
A bison is a wild animal
that will charge after you.
888
00:34:26,813 --> 00:34:29,049
This fish is on drugs.
889
00:34:29,149 --> 00:34:30,317
Lots of drugs.
890
00:34:30,417 --> 00:34:33,019
Where are sharks born?
891
00:34:33,119 --> 00:34:34,521
We all love our pets.
892
00:34:34,621 --> 00:34:37,924
But do you love yours enough
to clone them?
893
00:34:38,024 --> 00:34:39,759
You can.
