New Zealand
may be getting a new name.

-Yes. Yeah.
-(murmuring)
34

Maori politicians

Aotearoa. Right?

-(cheering and applause)
-Yeah. And...
38
00:01:37,998 --> 00:01:39,666
I think we can all be honest.
39
00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:41,101
Like, they didn't put
a lot of thought
40
00:01:41,201 --> 00:01:44,404
into naming it "New Zealand"
in the first place.
41
00:01:44,505 --> 00:01:46,139
Yeah, colonizers were so lame.
42
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,542
"This is New Zealand.
This is New England.
43
00:01:48,642 --> 00:01:50,677
New York." Zero effort.
44
00:01:51,645 --> 00:01:54,181
It's like Pete Davidson calling
his next girlfriend "New Kim."
45
00:01:54,281 --> 00:01:56,450
Terrible. It's not gonna work.
46
00:01:56,550 --> 00:01:58,852
Meanwhile, in health news,
47
00:01:58,952 --> 00:02:02,456
officials in New York say that
hundreds of people in the state
48
00:02:02,556 --> 00:02:04,658
may be infected with polio
49
00:02:04,758 --> 00:02:06,326
because so many people
are unvaccinated.
50
00:02:06,426 --> 00:02:08,662
Yeah. So I guess
New York is back.
51
00:02:08,762 --> 00:02:10,631
Back in the 1950s.

00:02:10,731 --> 00:02:13,100
And, you know, I'll be honest
with you, I don't care anymore.

Yeah. I don't.

Oh, and in, uh...
62
00:02:28,081 --> 00:02:30,184
in politics, in politics,
63
00:02:30,284 --> 00:02:33,287
according to a new book
about the Trump White House,
64
00:02:33,387 --> 00:02:35,589
President Trump complained
65
00:02:35,689 --> 00:02:39,193
that his national security team
wasn't loyal enough to him,
66
00:02:39,293 --> 00:02:40,861
saying-- quote--
67
00:02:40,961 --> 00:02:43,564
"Why can't you be like
the German generals
68
00:02:43,664 --> 00:02:44,765
in World War II?"
69
00:02:44,865 --> 00:02:46,466
(groaning)
70
00:02:46,567 --> 00:02:48,235
Yeah. That's right.
71
00:02:48,335 --> 00:02:50,103
Fox News was out there
every day like,
72
00:02:50,204 --> 00:02:51,772
"These liberals
are so over-the-top,
73
00:02:51,872 --> 00:02:53,607
"always comparing Trump
to Hitler."
74
00:02:53,707 --> 00:02:54,775
Meanwhile, Trump was going,
75
00:02:54,875 --> 00:02:57,678
"Why won't people
treat me more like Hitler?
76
00:02:57,778 --> 00:02:59,813
Why not? Why not?"
77
00:02:59,913 --> 00:03:01,114
(cheering and applause)
78
00:03:01,215 --> 00:03:02,616
And it actually--
79
00:03:02,716 --> 00:03:04,585
it actually got
even more alarming than that.
80
00:03:04,685 --> 00:03:06,253
Later in the same meeting,
81
00:03:06,353 --> 00:03:08,889
he told his generals
to find the Ark of the Covenant
82
00:03:09,056 --> 00:03:11,158
before Indiana Jones
got his hands on it!
83
00:03:12,125 --> 00:03:13,627
No, I'm joking. But that's
not even the real story.
84
00:03:13,727 --> 00:03:15,662
So, this is the crazy part.
After Trump went off
85
00:03:15,762 --> 00:03:18,799
about how his generals should be
as loyal as Hitler's were,
86
00:03:18,899 --> 00:03:21,368
General Kelly's response to him
was,
87
00:03:21,468 --> 00:03:26,340
"You do know that they tried
to kill Hitler three times...
88
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,141
and almost pulled it off."
89
00:03:29,510 --> 00:03:30,611
And I don't know why,
but I feel like--
90
00:03:30,711 --> 00:03:32,079
I feel like that information
91
00:03:32,112 --> 00:03:34,248
didn't change Trump's opinion
of the German generals.
92
00:03:34,348 --> 00:03:36,083
Like-like, knowing Trump,
he was probably like,
93
00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:39,086
"Those losers tried to kill
Hitler three times,
94
00:03:39,152 --> 00:03:41,088
"and they choked like a dog.
95
00:03:41,188 --> 00:03:43,357
"Like a dog.
Couldn't get it done.
96
00:03:43,457 --> 00:03:46,093
"You know who was able to kill
Hitler on the first try?
97
00:03:46,193 --> 00:03:48,495
"Hitler. It's called leadership,
people.
98
00:03:48,595 --> 00:03:49,897
Leadership."
99
00:03:50,864 --> 00:03:51,899
But, anyway,
100
00:03:51,999 --> 00:03:53,901
-let's move on...
-(cheering and applause)
101
00:03:54,001 --> 00:03:56,703
...to some of the bigger
news stories of the day,
102
00:03:56,803 --> 00:03:59,473
starting off
with President Joe Biden,
103
00:03:59,573 --> 00:04:01,341
who had himself
one hell of a weekend.
104
00:04:01,441 --> 00:04:02,509
First of all,
105
00:04:02,609 --> 00:04:05,479
he finally tested negative again
for COVID...
106
00:04:05,579 --> 00:04:07,614
-(cheering) -...and was allowed
to leave quarantine
107
00:04:07,714 --> 00:04:09,416
for the first time in 18 days.
108
00:04:09,516 --> 00:04:11,185
Yeah. So he's back
and as good as new
109
00:04:11,285 --> 00:04:12,719
or whatever he was
when he went in.
110
00:04:12,819 --> 00:04:16,223
And... and 18 days is
a long time in quarantine.
111
00:04:16,323 --> 00:04:17,824
But I'm sure
he'll get right back
112
00:04:17,925 --> 00:04:19,159
into the swing of things,
you know?
113
00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:21,295
Because, yeah,
being president is a lot like,
114
00:04:21,395 --> 00:04:23,063
you know, riding a-a bike.
115
00:04:23,096 --> 00:04:24,531
Oh, Joe, no! Don't do it!
116
00:04:24,631 --> 00:04:26,200
Don't do it!
117
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:28,869
(groaning, chuckling)
118
00:04:28,969 --> 00:04:32,072
So, the good news for Biden is
that he's out of quarantine,
119
00:04:32,105 --> 00:04:33,941
and even more good news
for Biden
120
00:04:34,074 --> 00:04:35,943
is that he's now
in the history books.
121
00:04:36,076 --> 00:04:37,711
The historic vote in the Senate.
122
00:04:37,811 --> 00:04:40,647
Major, major victory tonight
for the Democrats
123
00:04:40,747 --> 00:04:41,915

124
00:04:42,082 --> 00:04:44,151
This morning,
Democrats triumphant.
125
00:04:44,251 --> 00:04:47,754
Every member of my caucus
is elated about what happened
126
00:04:47,855 --> 00:04:52,626
because we've really--
we've changed the world...
127
00:04:52,726 --> 00:04:56,463
in a way that you rarely get
an opportunity to do that.
128
00:04:56,563 --> 00:04:57,898
Passing a sweeping climate,
health care,
129
00:04:57,998 --> 00:05:01,034
and economic package
after 22 straight hours
130
00:05:01,101 --> 00:05:03,237
of dusk-to-dawn work
over the weekend.
131
00:05:03,337 --> 00:05:05,672
Vice President Kamala Harris
casting the tie-breaking vote
132
00:05:05,772 --> 00:05:07,508
for Democrats to pass the bill,
133
00:05:07,608 --> 00:05:08,842
which boasts climate spending
134
00:05:08,942 --> 00:05:11,044
and billions
in energy investments.
135
00:05:11,144 --> 00:05:13,080
Also reducing prices
of prescription drugs
136
00:05:13,180 --> 00:05:14,848
by letting
Medicare negotiate directly
137
00:05:14,948 --> 00:05:16,416
with pharmaceutical companies.
138
00:05:16,517 --> 00:05:19,453
A major legislative victory
for Democrats in Congress
139
00:05:19,553 --> 00:05:20,954
and for the Biden White House.
140
00:05:21,054 --> 00:05:23,190
Suddenly he is one
of the most consequential
141
00:05:23,290 --> 00:05:25,626
legislative presidents since LBJ
142
00:05:25,726 --> 00:05:27,461
in his first two years
in office.
143
00:05:27,561 --> 00:05:29,863
Yeah, don't look now, people,
but all of a sudden
144
00:05:29,963 --> 00:05:34,268
Sleepy Joe has himself a pretty
fat stack of accomplishments.
145
00:05:34,368 --> 00:05:36,236
Yeah, in just the past few weeks
146
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:39,072
he'll have done
lower prescription drug prices,
147
00:05:39,106 --> 00:05:41,542
the biggest investment
in green energy ever,
148
00:05:41,642 --> 00:05:44,077
health care for veterans
exposed to burn pits,
149
00:05:44,178 --> 00:05:47,214
investments in...
computer chip, uh, production,
150
00:05:47,314 --> 00:05:48,916
and he capped the leader
of al-Qaeda
151
00:05:49,082 --> 00:05:50,284
while he was sunbathing.
152
00:05:50,384 --> 00:05:53,987
-(audience cheering)
-Think about it, this is insane.
153
00:05:54,087 --> 00:05:56,089
You realize what this means?
154
00:05:56,190 --> 00:05:57,824
If he keeps this up,
his approval rating's
155
00:05:57,925 --> 00:06:00,360
going to shoot all the way up
to, like, 39%.
156
00:06:00,460 --> 00:06:01,495
(laughter)
157
00:06:01,595 --> 00:06:04,298
And he did all of this
with COVID!
158
00:06:04,398 --> 00:06:06,266
I bet right now the White House
doctors are trying
159
00:06:06,366 --> 00:06:08,502
to figure out how to give COVID
back to the president again.
160
00:06:08,602 --> 00:06:10,170
"Come on, guys."
(coughs)
161
00:06:10,270 --> 00:06:12,172
"If we get him infected, maybe
he'll end the war in Ukraine."
162
00:06:12,272 --> 00:06:15,042
(coughs)
163
00:06:15,108 --> 00:06:17,578
And by the way, I-I know this is
weird, but-but have you noticed
164
00:06:17,678 --> 00:06:19,780
that Joe Biden seems to be
the most successful
165
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,648
whenever he disappears?
166
00:06:21,748 --> 00:06:23,517
No, I know, I know it's weird,
but, like-like,
167
00:06:23,617 --> 00:06:25,619
during the campaign, right, he
went and he hid in the basement,
168
00:06:25,719 --> 00:06:27,154
and nobody saw him for months.
169
00:06:27,254 --> 00:06:28,522
Everyone was like, "Where's
Joe Biden? Where's Joe Biden?"
170
00:06:28,622 --> 00:06:29,857
And then out of nowhere
they were like,
171
00:06:29,957 --> 00:06:31,458
they announced that he was
the president, yeah?
172
00:06:31,558 --> 00:06:33,694
Remember, he even came out
on Election Night
173
00:06:33,794 --> 00:06:34,828
and was just like,
"Wait, really?
174
00:06:34,928 --> 00:06:36,463
"Okay, yeah, I-I guess.
175
00:06:36,563 --> 00:06:38,265
Oh, what, me?"
176
00:06:38,365 --> 00:06:42,836
Then, now-- gas prices crazy,
Congress stuck, inflation wild.
177
00:06:42,936 --> 00:06:46,273
Joe Biden gets COVID, disappears
into the basement again,
178
00:06:46,373 --> 00:06:47,774
and then, when he comes out,
179
00:06:47,875 --> 00:06:49,643
they tell him that not only
is he still the president.
180
00:06:49,743 --> 00:06:51,945
He is now
one of the greatest presidents
181
00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:53,747
in the history of presidents!
182
00:06:53,847 --> 00:06:56,950
Gas prices went down,
Congress is getting things done,
183
00:06:57,084 --> 00:06:59,853
the Choco Taco is
coming back from the dead!
184
00:07:00,020 --> 00:07:01,154
(cheers and applause)
185
00:07:01,255 --> 00:07:03,657
So, I don't know
what's in that basement,
186
00:07:03,757 --> 00:07:05,859
but whatever it is,
it's working.
187
00:07:06,026 --> 00:07:07,528
In fact, I want that basement
to be president.
188
00:07:07,628 --> 00:07:09,930
Basement, 2024.
189
00:07:10,030 --> 00:07:11,331
And, by the way,
it's not like this bill
190
00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:13,567
was easy for Biden to get.
Remember that.
191
00:07:13,667 --> 00:07:15,502
Because it's a 50-50 senate.
All right.
192
00:07:15,602 --> 00:07:18,305
The Democrats can't afford
to lose a single vote.
193
00:07:18,405 --> 00:07:20,541
So, first, they spent a year
194
00:07:20,641 --> 00:07:23,844
convincing Joe Manchin
to get on board.
195
00:07:23,944 --> 00:07:28,048
And he was like, "Look, I'll
back your climate change stuff,
196
00:07:28,115 --> 00:07:30,083
"but only if you let me
squeeze baby seals
197
00:07:30,184 --> 00:07:32,319
to see if there's oil inside."
198
00:07:32,419 --> 00:07:35,689
And the Democrats were like,
"Sure, yeah, yeah, whatever."
199
00:07:35,789 --> 00:07:36,957
But then at the last minute,
200
00:07:37,057 --> 00:07:38,525
they had to convince
Kyrsten Sinema.
201
00:07:38,625 --> 00:07:40,527
And she was like,
"Okay, I'll sign on,
202
00:07:40,627 --> 00:07:42,863
"but only if you let me squeeze
hedge fund managers
203
00:07:42,963 --> 00:07:46,366
to see if there's
campaign donations inside."
204
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:47,935
And I guess it worked.
205
00:07:48,068 --> 00:07:50,070
So, let's move on,
because no matter what you think
206
00:07:50,103 --> 00:07:51,371
about Joe Biden's
accomplishments,
207
00:07:51,471 --> 00:07:54,408
we can all agree that
he stole the election in 2020.
208
00:07:54,508 --> 00:07:56,610
-(laughter)
-Yeah.
209
00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:58,512
It was a landslide victory
for Donald Trump,
210
00:07:58,612 --> 00:08:01,181
but sneaky Joe Byron
hacked into the matrix
211
00:08:01,281 --> 00:08:04,218
and turned all the
voting machines black.
212
00:08:04,318 --> 00:08:06,286
No one denies this.
213
00:08:06,386 --> 00:08:08,689
And on January 6,
a group of patriots
214
00:08:08,789 --> 00:08:11,658
tried to explain all of this
to Mike Pence's neck.
215
00:08:11,758 --> 00:08:14,228
-But instead of listening,
-(laughter)
216
00:08:14,328 --> 00:08:16,630
the U.S. government has
been throwing them in jail.
217
00:08:16,730 --> 00:08:18,599
They've been locked away
in those cold cells
218
00:08:18,699 --> 00:08:22,769
ever since with only their
fur hats to keep them warm.
219
00:08:22,870 --> 00:08:24,838
So over the weekend,
over the weekend,
220
00:08:24,938 --> 00:08:28,041
conservatives gathered in Texas,
all right,
221
00:08:28,108 --> 00:08:32,479
to raise awareness
for just how badly...
222
00:08:32,579 --> 00:08:35,482
the January 6 rioters
are being treated.
223
00:08:35,582 --> 00:08:36,884
And-and the way they did this
224
00:08:37,050 --> 00:08:39,720
was they held
a very special tribute
225
00:08:39,820 --> 00:08:44,358
that is very moving
and not at all hilarious.
226
00:08:44,458 --> 00:08:47,327
The insurrection fallout
is front and center at CPAC.
227
00:08:47,427 --> 00:08:52,232
This year's most buzzed about
booth is this: a fake jail cell.
228
00:08:52,332 --> 00:08:55,702
Uh, what you're watching
actually happened at CPAC.
229
00:08:55,802 --> 00:08:58,839
It features a convicted
January 6 rioter
230
00:08:58,939 --> 00:09:02,142
doing performance art in a cage
wearing an orange jumpsuit.
231
00:09:02,242 --> 00:09:03,610
NEWSWOMAN:
Visitors were offered headsets
232
00:09:03,710 --> 00:09:05,379
so they could listen
to interviews
233
00:09:05,479 --> 00:09:09,883
with jailed January 6 defendants
while watching the actor weep.
234
00:09:10,017 --> 00:09:11,685
Some viewers wept along
with him.
235
00:09:11,785 --> 00:09:14,521
Others threw money
into the cage.
236
00:09:14,621 --> 00:09:16,523
Georgia congresswoman
Marjorie Taylor Greene
237
00:09:16,623 --> 00:09:18,825
entered the cell
to pray with him.
238
00:09:18,926 --> 00:09:20,594
-Okay, wait, wait, wait.
-(audience exclaiming)
239
00:09:20,694 --> 00:09:22,596
Wait. Wait.
240
00:09:22,696 --> 00:09:24,464
Wait. Okay, just wait.
241
00:09:31,271 --> 00:09:34,041
H-Help me understand... help me
understand the logic here.
242
00:09:34,141 --> 00:09:37,044
Marjorie Taylor Greene
is praying
243
00:09:37,144 --> 00:09:39,546
for a fake prisoner?
244
00:09:39,646 --> 00:09:40,948
(laughter)
245
00:09:41,048 --> 00:09:43,183
No, this is a real thing,
and she's, like, serious.
246
00:09:43,283 --> 00:09:44,818
Who is this lady?
247
00:09:44,918 --> 00:09:46,420
Like, America, you understand.
248
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,923
This is a person who's actually
part of running your country.
249
00:09:50,057 --> 00:09:52,860
She's in there mourning
with a fake, praying for...
250
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,595
Like, how does she function
in the world?
251
00:09:54,695 --> 00:09:56,363
It's a fake prisoner.
252
00:09:56,463 --> 00:09:58,065
She must have the hardest time
at Broadway shows.
253
00:09:58,131 --> 00:10:00,067
"They killed Hamilton!
254
00:10:00,033 --> 00:10:03,570
-Aah! Aah!"
-(laughter, applause)
255
00:10:07,574 --> 00:10:11,311
I mean, I guess in her defense,
this actor in the lobby
256
00:10:11,411 --> 00:10:14,348
of the CPAC convention hall
really committed to the role?
257
00:10:14,448 --> 00:10:18,318
Because apparently,
he spent hours in that jail cell
258
00:10:18,418 --> 00:10:21,154
weeping the whole time,
just weeping.
259
00:10:21,255 --> 00:10:23,457
Which in a way is
a powerful performance art
260
00:10:23,557 --> 00:10:26,026
because isn't what conservatism
has turned into in America?
261
00:10:26,126 --> 00:10:27,561
Right? It's just people
in MAGA hats
262
00:10:27,661 --> 00:10:29,062
acting like they're victims?
263
00:10:29,162 --> 00:10:31,565
"There's fewer white people
now than there used to be.
264
00:10:31,665 --> 00:10:33,534
But we still have
all the power."
265
00:10:33,634 --> 00:10:40,174
-(crying)
-(applause and cheering)
266
00:10:40,274 --> 00:10:44,378
By the way, the part that
made me laugh the hardest was
267
00:10:44,478 --> 00:10:47,047
how people were throwing money
into the cage.
268
00:10:47,147 --> 00:10:50,350
-(laughter) -Like,
what is that? What is...?
269
00:10:50,450 --> 00:10:52,819
Is this like the only way they
know how to interact with art
270
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,923
is the same way they interact
with strippers? You know?
271
00:10:56,023 --> 00:10:58,959
Just like, "Your freedom has
been stolen from you.
272
00:10:59,059 --> 00:11:00,360
"Shake that ass!
273
00:11:00,460 --> 00:11:03,463
-Just shake that ass!"
-(laughter, applause)
274
00:11:07,434 --> 00:11:11,405
Now you would think a story like
this couldn't get any crazier,
275
00:11:11,505 --> 00:11:16,510
but truly, the best part
of the story is this actor
276
00:11:16,610 --> 00:11:22,349
who played the defendant was an
actual rioter on January 6...
277
00:11:22,449 --> 00:11:25,619
-(audience groaning, gasping)
-...who reportedly avoided
278
00:11:25,719 --> 00:11:28,922
a prison sentence by snitching
on the other rioters.
279
00:11:29,089 --> 00:11:32,092
-(audience groaning)
-Yeah.
280
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:34,394
So just so you understand,
this dude is pretending
281
00:11:34,494 --> 00:11:37,097
to be a prisoner
that he helped send to prison!
282
00:11:37,197 --> 00:11:38,966
-(laughter)
-Which is insane!
283
00:11:39,099 --> 00:11:41,401
You snitched on your fellow
rioters, they go to jail,
284
00:11:41,502 --> 00:11:42,903
and now, you're out
on the streets crying like,
285
00:11:43,003 --> 00:11:44,404
"Man, I wish there was something
I could have done
286
00:11:44,505 --> 00:11:45,973
"to stop them
from going to jail.
287
00:11:46,106 --> 00:11:49,343
I wish there's something
I could have done!"
288
00:11:49,443 --> 00:11:50,777
This is wild.
289
00:11:50,878 --> 00:11:52,546
All right, let's move on
to some major news
290
00:11:52,646 --> 00:11:54,781
out of the entertainment world.
There is no denying that
291
00:11:54,882 --> 00:11:56,216
there are far too many
streaming services
292
00:11:56,316 --> 00:11:58,118
out there these days, people.
It's just too much.
293
00:11:58,185 --> 00:11:59,786
There's Hulu, there's Netflix,
294
00:11:59,887 --> 00:12:02,923
there's you know, Prime Video,
Apple TV+, Disney+.
295
00:12:03,056 --> 00:12:04,892
It's getting out of hand.
It's getting out of hand.
296
00:12:05,058 --> 00:12:06,560
Especially when Paramount+
gives you everything
297
00:12:06,660 --> 00:12:09,229
-that you need in one place,
you know? -(laughter)
298
00:12:09,329 --> 00:12:12,165
There's Champions League,
there's RuPaul's Drag Race,
299
00:12:12,266 --> 00:12:13,667
there's The Daily Show,
there's South Park,
300
00:12:13,767 --> 00:12:15,235
there's Star Trek,
The Daily Show,
301
00:12:15,335 --> 00:12:16,737
Beavis and Butt-Head,
and of course, The Daily Show.
302
00:12:16,837 --> 00:12:18,405
What else do you need?!
303
00:12:18,505 --> 00:12:21,942
(applause and cheering)
304
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:25,879
So, yes,
there are way too many services.
305
00:12:25,979 --> 00:12:29,183
But luckily, soon,
there's going to be one less.
306
00:12:29,283 --> 00:12:31,652
NEWSMAN: Soon, you'll get
a two-for-one deal on streaming.
307
00:12:31,752 --> 00:12:34,855
HBO Max and Discovery+
will merge next year.
308
00:12:34,955 --> 00:12:36,957
Subscribers will have
various options
309
00:12:37,090 --> 00:12:38,926
between HBO's
scripted entertainment
310
00:12:39,092 --> 00:12:41,762
and Discovery's
reality-based programming.
311
00:12:41,862 --> 00:12:43,363
NEWSWOMAN:
It comes as HBO Max struggles
312
00:12:43,463 --> 00:12:45,465
with performance
and customer issues.
313
00:12:45,566 --> 00:12:49,937
The CEO Of Warner Bros. says
Discovery+ has better technology
314
00:12:50,103 --> 00:12:52,406
and will become the core
of the new service.
315
00:12:52,506 --> 00:12:55,375
No, no. No, this is enough.
316
00:12:55,475 --> 00:12:57,778
How many times is HBO going
to change its name, huh?
317
00:12:57,878 --> 00:12:59,880
It was HBO Go,
318
00:13:00,047 --> 00:13:03,183
and then it was HBO Now,
and then it's HBO Max?
319
00:13:03,283 --> 00:13:04,685
Like, at this point, I feel like
they're just messing with us.
320
00:13:04,785 --> 00:13:06,053
Next month,
they're gonna be like,
321
00:13:06,119 --> 00:13:07,888
"Our new name is
'HBO Bitch-Ass Says What.'"
322
00:13:08,055 --> 00:13:11,525
"What?"
"Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha."
323
00:13:11,625 --> 00:13:15,062
So, yeah, Warner Bros.,
Discovery and HBO
324
00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:18,332
are merging everything
into one giant company.
325
00:13:18,432 --> 00:13:21,101
I know that's going to be weird,
but I, for one, cannot wait
326
00:13:21,201 --> 00:13:24,304
to see how all
of these bigger shows combine.
327
00:13:24,404 --> 00:13:27,341
ANNOUNCER: Coming up on
House Hunters Westeros...
328
00:13:27,441 --> 00:13:30,177
Jerry is looking for a bigger
space in King's Landing
329
00:13:30,277 --> 00:13:32,646
for his growing family.
330
00:13:32,746 --> 00:13:35,716
Okay, first of all,
a sword chair? What is this?
331
00:13:35,816 --> 00:13:38,585
Like, 1527, guys?
Let's switch that.
332
00:13:38,685 --> 00:13:40,587
Let's just switch
that whole thing up, you know?
333
00:13:40,687 --> 00:13:42,089
Let's put in a cute ottoman,
334
00:13:42,122 --> 00:13:44,091
knock down some
of these walls, yeah?
335
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:45,759
Switch out the blood
with a fresh coat of paint.
336
00:13:45,859 --> 00:13:48,729
Yeah, we got to do that.
Aah! Aah!
337
00:13:48,829 --> 00:13:50,264
Oh, we got
to fix the thermostat.
338
00:13:50,364 --> 00:13:52,499
That's way too hot.
Way too hot.
339
00:13:52,599 --> 00:13:54,635
ANNOUNCER: And also
on the new HBO Discovery,
340
00:13:54,735 --> 00:13:56,303
stay tuned for the premiere
341
00:13:56,403 --> 00:13:59,306
of our new series,
90 Day Succession.
342
00:13:59,406 --> 00:14:01,441
To fundamentally alter
the nature of the family
343
00:14:01,542 --> 00:14:03,310
on my wedding day?
You have any conception
344
00:14:03,410 --> 00:14:06,079
of how f--
goddamn selfish you are?
345
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,583
(heavy African accent):
Lady, I just want a green card.
346
00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:17,090
(regular accent): All right,
that's it for the headlines.
347
00:14:17,191 --> 00:14:18,692
But before we go to
a quick break,
348
00:14:18,792 --> 00:14:20,894
let's check in on the stock
market with our finance expert
349
00:14:21,061 --> 00:14:23,063
-Michael Kosta, everybody.
-(cheering, applause)
350
00:14:25,933 --> 00:14:29,236
This is wild, Michael.
Mergers, people coming together.
351
00:14:29,336 --> 00:14:30,938
What is happening
in the market today?
352
00:14:31,071 --> 00:14:34,074
I am crushing it. I-I mean,
I am crushing it so hard.
353
00:14:34,107 --> 00:14:35,542
-You always are, man.
-But, you know, you're-- yeah,
354
00:14:35,642 --> 00:14:38,078
-you're crushing it, too. You
know? You're crushing it. -What?
355
00:14:38,111 --> 00:14:40,180
-You're an excellent boss.
You know? -Oh. Oh, thank you.
356
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,650
Yeah, and-and I-- and--
and I'm loyal to you, Trevor.
357
00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:47,621
Unlike-- unlike those
Trump generals, you know?
358
00:14:47,721 --> 00:14:50,357
You-- You're my Hitler, Trevor.
359
00:14:50,457 --> 00:14:51,725
-No, no, I--
-I'm ser-- No, I'm serious.
360
00:14:51,825 --> 00:14:53,727
When-when you look
at Trevor Noah, I want you
361
00:14:53,827 --> 00:14:56,597
-to think of Adolf Hitler, okay?
-No, no... No, no, no.
362
00:14:56,697 --> 00:14:58,332
I don't-I don't think that's
doing what you think it is.
363
00:14:58,432 --> 00:15:00,033
-I appreciate-- Let's just go--
-O-Okay. I also--
364
00:15:00,100 --> 00:15:01,134
-I got a hot tip for you.
-Yeah, yeah, thank you.
365
00:15:01,235 --> 00:15:02,769
I got a hot tip for you,
make some money,
366
00:15:02,870 --> 00:15:04,805
like I make some money. I got a
hot tip for you. Pay attention.
367
00:15:04,905 --> 00:15:07,274
So, behind me right here,
this is the Warner Bros. stock
368
00:15:07,374 --> 00:15:10,777
after the streaming merger
between HBO Max and Discovery+.
369
00:15:10,878 --> 00:15:13,046
And what you want
to pay attention to here, okay--
370
00:15:13,113 --> 00:15:15,048
Actually, just for a second--
371
00:15:15,115 --> 00:15:17,317
that story about
President Biden--
372
00:15:17,417 --> 00:15:19,820
well, he's just
accomplishing so much.
373
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,055
Crushing it.
374
00:15:22,155 --> 00:15:24,591
With COVID. Right?
375
00:15:24,691 --> 00:15:26,460
Apparently, you can
get a lot done with COVID.
376
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,396
I mean, me--
I'm crushing this segment,
377
00:15:29,496 --> 00:15:32,266
and I've got COVID, too. You
know what I'm saying? (coughs)
378
00:15:32,366 --> 00:15:33,700
I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
379
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,068
I have polio. But let's get back
380
00:15:35,169 --> 00:15:36,670
to the chart,
you know the chart.
381
00:15:36,770 --> 00:15:39,072
As a financial expert,
I'm here to offer this:
382
00:15:39,106 --> 00:15:41,141
mergers are tricky, all right?
383
00:15:41,241 --> 00:15:44,077
What's the most dangerous
part of driving, right? Merging.
384
00:15:44,178 --> 00:15:45,279
I can't tell you how many times
385
00:15:45,379 --> 00:15:47,514
I've just plowed
into people, right?
386
00:15:47,614 --> 00:15:49,750
What's-what's the worst part
of a birthday party?
387
00:15:49,850 --> 00:15:52,553
Merging separate
groups of friends. You know?
388
00:15:52,653 --> 00:15:55,856
Work friends, college friends,
both groups have stories
389
00:15:55,956 --> 00:15:58,091
you don't want the other side
to know about.
390
00:15:58,158 --> 00:16:01,028
Business merging
is no different, okay?
391
00:16:01,094 --> 00:16:04,565
Mergers-- Trevor, they're
a lot like relationships, right?
392
00:16:04,665 --> 00:16:08,035
At first, it's two single
companies just having fun.
393
00:16:08,101 --> 00:16:10,871
You're like, "Hey, maybe
we should have fun together.
394
00:16:11,038 --> 00:16:13,240
"You know? Combine our assets,
395
00:16:13,340 --> 00:16:15,075
like, like a marriage."
396
00:16:15,175 --> 00:16:17,711
In fact, that's why
it's called a merger,
397
00:16:17,811 --> 00:16:19,513
because "merge" sounds
398
00:16:19,613 --> 00:16:22,382
so much like "merrerge."
399
00:16:24,484 --> 00:16:26,420
Okay?
400
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:27,621
But next thing you know,
401
00:16:27,721 --> 00:16:30,057
after the merge,
the arguing starts.
402
00:16:30,157 --> 00:16:33,360
Are we HBO Discovery,
are we Discovery HBO?
403
00:16:33,460 --> 00:16:35,062
How many subsidiaries
are we gonna have?
404
00:16:35,162 --> 00:16:37,764
Because I want one,
but she wants three.
405
00:16:37,865 --> 00:16:39,600
Where are we gonna
spend the holidays?
406
00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:43,070
Why does Discovery+ keep
(bleep) my best friend, okay?
407
00:16:43,170 --> 00:16:45,606
And-and then-- and then that's
when this happens, Trevor.
408
00:16:45,706 --> 00:16:47,241
Michael, Mi-Michael, I think
you're getting off track.
409
00:16:47,341 --> 00:16:48,909
-Okay. All right. -Can you just
give up the hot tip, please?
410
00:16:49,076 --> 00:16:50,310
You're right, okay.
411
00:16:50,410 --> 00:16:52,546
Hot tip. Oh, yeah. Um, uh,
412
00:16:52,646 --> 00:16:54,515
you should get tested for polio.
Honestly, I think I have it.
413
00:16:54,615 --> 00:16:56,083
-So... -Well, thank you
so much for that.
414
00:16:56,183 --> 00:17:00,020
-Michael Kosta, everybody.
-(cheering, applause)
415
00:17:00,053 --> 00:17:01,588
You should get it checked out.
Don't go away,
416
00:17:01,688 --> 00:17:03,924
'cause when we come back,
Republican Senator Tim Scott
417
00:17:04,024 --> 00:17:05,425
will be joining me
right here on the show.
418
00:17:05,526 --> 00:17:07,561
-We'll be right back.
-(cheering, applause)
419
00:17:14,974 --> 00:17:17,009
(cheering and applause)
420
00:17:23,249 --> 00:17:24,550
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
421
00:17:24,650 --> 00:17:27,887
My first guest is a Republican
from South Carolina
422
00:17:27,987 --> 00:17:30,122
serving
in the United States Senate.
423
00:17:30,222 --> 00:17:32,124
He's here to talk
about his new memoir,
424
00:17:32,224 --> 00:17:34,393
America, a Redemption Story.
425
00:17:34,493 --> 00:17:36,228
Please welcome
Senator Tim Scott.
426
00:17:36,328 --> 00:17:38,364
-♪ ♪
-(cheering and applause)
427
00:17:39,632 --> 00:17:41,867
-Welcome back.
-Thank you. Appreciate it.
428
00:17:45,871 --> 00:17:47,840
-Senator Scott, welcome back
to the show. -How are you?
429
00:17:47,940 --> 00:17:48,841
Thank you. It's good to be back.
430
00:17:48,941 --> 00:17:50,075
It's good to have you here.
431
00:17:50,176 --> 00:17:52,077
It's very rare
that Republicans drop in, uh,
432
00:17:52,178 --> 00:17:54,780
when they are still in office
and not, like, on their way out.
433
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,815
This is fun.
Um, no, it-it really is.
434
00:17:56,916 --> 00:17:58,150
Because, you know,
you've always been somebody
435
00:17:58,250 --> 00:17:59,818
who comes on the show
and-and we talk about everything
436
00:17:59,919 --> 00:18:00,920
-and I appreciate that.
-Absolutely.
437
00:18:01,020 --> 00:18:02,154
-This time is
a little different. -Yes.
438
00:18:02,254 --> 00:18:04,423
You've written a book
about your life.
439
00:18:04,523 --> 00:18:06,559
And, honestly, there's-there's
a lot in this book
440
00:18:06,659 --> 00:18:09,028
that I didn't know about you
as a human being.
441
00:18:09,128 --> 00:18:10,763
You know? And-- Let's-let's
start in the beginning.
442
00:18:10,863 --> 00:18:12,398
-Certainly.
-In many ways,
443
00:18:12,498 --> 00:18:14,600
the book talks
about your journey
444
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:17,469
-of how you got to where you got
to today. You know? -Absolutely.
445
00:18:17,570 --> 00:18:19,305
Many people have referred to you
as many different things--
446
00:18:19,405 --> 00:18:21,841
-the unicorn, you know,
the lone Black senator... -Yeah.
447
00:18:21,941 --> 00:18:23,142
...in the Republican Party.
448
00:18:23,242 --> 00:18:25,211
People have referred to you
as the-the outlier.
449
00:18:25,311 --> 00:18:27,413
But what's really interesting
in the book is you talk
450
00:18:27,513 --> 00:18:31,283
about how you got there with
family who were also Democrats.
451
00:18:31,383 --> 00:18:33,419
Talk-talk me through
that experience of, you know,
452
00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:34,753
what it was like
being in a family
453
00:18:34,854 --> 00:18:36,322
where people
were voting differently.
454
00:18:36,422 --> 00:18:38,457
Absolutely. Well, fir-- I think
the most important part
455
00:18:38,557 --> 00:18:42,328
of my story really is
the devastation of divorce,
456
00:18:42,428 --> 00:18:44,163
-being raised by a single mom...
-Mm-hmm.
457
00:18:44,263 --> 00:18:46,832
...who worked 16 hours a day,
three days a week
458
00:18:46,932 --> 00:18:49,268
and eight hours a day, two days
a week as a nurse's aide,
459
00:18:49,368 --> 00:18:52,238
just changing bedpans
and rolling patients.
460
00:18:52,338 --> 00:18:54,840
So seeing my mother
work her butt off
461
00:18:54,940 --> 00:18:56,742
to try to keep food on the table
462
00:18:56,842 --> 00:18:58,477
and then moving in
with my grandparents.
463
00:18:58,577 --> 00:19:00,646
My grandfather born in 1921
464
00:19:00,746 --> 00:19:03,115
-in Salley, South Carolina...
-Yeah.
465
00:19:03,182 --> 00:19:05,017
...having to get off
the sidewalk
466
00:19:05,117 --> 00:19:06,919
when white folks were coming.
467
00:19:08,120 --> 00:19:09,955
Just the humiliation
468
00:19:10,122 --> 00:19:13,492
and the devastation
that he experienced.
469
00:19:13,592 --> 00:19:15,327
And that passed down
to my mother,
470
00:19:15,427 --> 00:19:17,096
-and then it impacted me, too.
-Mm-hmm.
471
00:19:17,196 --> 00:19:19,598
Sometimes we forget to tell
both sides of the story
472
00:19:19,698 --> 00:19:21,433
-when we're having
conversations. -Mm.
473
00:19:21,534 --> 00:19:24,303
I wanted to make sure that
people had a full perspective
474
00:19:24,403 --> 00:19:26,639
of my journey
to becoming who I am,
475
00:19:26,739 --> 00:19:29,108
because much of it was built
on the shoulders
476
00:19:29,208 --> 00:19:32,344
of people
who paid a very high price
477
00:19:32,444 --> 00:19:34,213
for you and I to have
this conversation.
478
00:19:34,313 --> 00:19:36,215
And sometimes we forget
to say thank you
479
00:19:36,315 --> 00:19:38,484
-to those who went before us.
-Right, right, right.
480
00:19:38,584 --> 00:19:40,452
-On the shoulders of giants. I
mean, you know... -Absolutely.
481
00:19:40,553 --> 00:19:42,154
...it's interesting that you say
"telling all sides
482
00:19:42,254 --> 00:19:44,557
of the story," because
you-you talk about your father
483
00:19:44,657 --> 00:19:45,824
-very early on in the book.
-Yes.
484
00:19:45,925 --> 00:19:47,860
And what I appreciate is
how you talk
485
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,962
about the negative impact
he had on you
486
00:19:50,095 --> 00:19:51,997
-but you appreciate all of the
positive as well. -Absolutely.
487
00:19:52,097 --> 00:19:53,532
You talk about how he comes back
488
00:19:53,632 --> 00:19:55,501
-from fighting a war
for America... -Yes.
489
00:19:55,601 --> 00:19:57,102
...and yet America
doesn't want him.
490
00:19:57,203 --> 00:19:58,470
People spit at him.
491
00:19:58,571 --> 00:20:00,439
He doesn't get treated as a--
as a first-class citizen.
492
00:20:00,539 --> 00:20:03,943
What-what impact did that have
on you growing up, knowing this?
493
00:20:04,109 --> 00:20:07,680
You know, I-I learned a lot more
about my father's story,
494
00:20:07,780 --> 00:20:09,615
-uh, while I was writing
the book. -Uh-huh.
495
00:20:09,715 --> 00:20:11,116
Truly, to tell you the truth,
496
00:20:11,217 --> 00:20:13,552
my father and I was not close
for about 30 years.
497
00:20:13,652 --> 00:20:16,388
-Right. -After their divorce,
we went separate ways.
498
00:20:16,488 --> 00:20:19,325
And, uh, it was in my late 20s,
early 30s
499
00:20:19,425 --> 00:20:21,493
when I first started
getting back with him.
500
00:20:21,594 --> 00:20:24,330
Truth is that the more
I understood about the pain
501
00:20:24,430 --> 00:20:27,066
and the misery and
the devastation that happened
502
00:20:27,166 --> 00:20:29,068
-during the Vietnam conflict
for him... -Mm-hmm.
503
00:20:29,101 --> 00:20:31,871
-...as well as coming back as a
Black Vietnam veteran... -Right.
504
00:20:31,971 --> 00:20:34,206
...very, very, very painful
experience.
505
00:20:34,306 --> 00:20:36,775
And then the altercations
that he had
506
00:20:36,876 --> 00:20:38,978
with other members
of the service
507
00:20:39,078 --> 00:20:40,412
just because he was Black
508
00:20:40,513 --> 00:20:42,681
and how that painted
and stained him
509
00:20:42,781 --> 00:20:44,850
and how that caused him
to spiral some.
510
00:20:44,950 --> 00:20:47,486
And being the recipient of that,
you see it differently.
511
00:20:47,586 --> 00:20:50,089
-Mm-hmm. -As you grow older,
you get 20/20,
512
00:20:50,189 --> 00:20:51,290
uh, looking backwards.
513
00:20:51,390 --> 00:20:53,859
And so my father
is now a-a good man,
514
00:20:53,959 --> 00:20:56,562
a solid man
that I have much respect for.
515
00:20:56,662 --> 00:20:59,098
And having walked that journey
together
516
00:20:59,131 --> 00:21:00,866
-has made me such
a better person. -Mm. Mm.
517
00:21:00,966 --> 00:21:03,569
And it gives me a perspective
that I would not have had
518
00:21:03,669 --> 00:21:05,938
had I not taken the time
to-to listen.
519
00:21:06,105 --> 00:21:08,007
Because sometimes when we go
through pain and suffering,
520
00:21:08,107 --> 00:21:10,409
we put our finger
towards the person we think
521
00:21:10,509 --> 00:21:14,046
caused us that pain
and we literally turn our backs.
522
00:21:14,113 --> 00:21:17,516
I think sometimes
the best thing we can do
523
00:21:17,616 --> 00:21:18,684
is listen,
524
00:21:18,784 --> 00:21:21,086
even to the people
we feel like hurt us.
525
00:21:21,187 --> 00:21:23,923
-Hmm. -There's a scripture
in Matthew 5:44 says
526
00:21:24,056 --> 00:21:25,524
to-to love your enemies,
527
00:21:25,624 --> 00:21:26,859
-to pray for those
who persecute you. -Mm-hmm.
528
00:21:26,959 --> 00:21:29,228
-Mm. -I got to say that,
South Carolina,
529
00:21:29,328 --> 00:21:30,462
we've had more than our share.
530
00:21:30,563 --> 00:21:32,932
And I talk about Mother Emanuel
church shooting.
531
00:21:33,065 --> 00:21:34,600
Right.
532
00:21:34,700 --> 00:21:37,203
Th-Those amazing people...
533
00:21:37,303 --> 00:21:39,071
mm...
534
00:21:39,138 --> 00:21:40,973
...forgave
535
00:21:41,073 --> 00:21:42,441
the killer,
536
00:21:42,541 --> 00:21:45,110
the racist
who walked into the church,
537
00:21:45,211 --> 00:21:46,812
sat through a bible study.
538
00:21:46,912 --> 00:21:49,348
And when you hear stories
like that and you understand
539
00:21:49,448 --> 00:21:53,085
the, the magnitude
of their power to bring light
540
00:21:53,152 --> 00:21:57,122
into a dark place,
the least I could do
541
00:21:57,223 --> 00:22:00,960
is learn to listen to people
who may disagree with me.
542
00:22:01,093 --> 00:22:02,361
You've always done that,
you know,
543
00:22:02,461 --> 00:22:03,829
you've always had conversations
with people
544
00:22:03,929 --> 00:22:05,097
you don't agree with.
545
00:22:05,164 --> 00:22:07,099
Um, you-you've often
faced criticism as well.
546
00:22:07,199 --> 00:22:08,801
You know,
many-many people have said,
547
00:22:08,901 --> 00:22:12,905
"How can you be a Black man
in the Republican Party?"
548
00:22:13,005 --> 00:22:14,340
-Yeah. -"Look at what
the Republican Party is doing.
549
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,242
Look at the policies that
the Republican Party enacts."
550
00:22:16,342 --> 00:22:18,244
And-and some people
haven't been-- you know,
551
00:22:18,344 --> 00:22:20,446
-haven't said it to you
in the nicest way. -No.
552
00:22:20,546 --> 00:22:22,781
You talk in the book about how
people called you "Uncle Tim"
553
00:22:22,882 --> 00:22:24,083
when you, when you, you know,
554
00:22:24,183 --> 00:22:26,852
you responded
to the president's address.
555
00:22:26,952 --> 00:22:28,687
How do you,
how do you reconcile,
556
00:22:28,787 --> 00:22:30,689
you know,
that-that-that narrative?
557
00:22:30,789 --> 00:22:34,193
Or how do you reconcile the
conflict of being a Black man
558
00:22:34,293 --> 00:22:36,862
in a party
that is predominantly white,
559
00:22:36,962 --> 00:22:38,731
and-and Black people are
predominantly Democrats,
560
00:22:38,831 --> 00:22:40,733
and saying, "No, no, no,
I-I can still believe in this
561
00:22:40,833 --> 00:22:42,368
and not be, you know,
a 'race traitor,'"
562
00:22:42,468 --> 00:22:43,869
which I don't, I don't
believe in, in any way.
563
00:22:43,969 --> 00:22:45,204
-No, yeah.
-But I'm-- you know?
564
00:22:45,304 --> 00:22:49,074
Well, Trevor...
breaking news here.
565
00:22:49,175 --> 00:22:50,843
(laughter)
566
00:22:50,943 --> 00:22:52,845
-You ready?
-I'm ready.
567
00:22:52,945 --> 00:22:57,316
I think the Black community
is a conservative community.
568
00:22:57,416 --> 00:22:59,818
So I think I'm just being
consistent with who I am.
569
00:22:59,919 --> 00:23:02,521
Let me give you a couple
of examples of policy positions
570
00:23:02,621 --> 00:23:05,224
that I think that most,
most people don't understand
571
00:23:05,324 --> 00:23:08,093
or appreciate
or have ever even heard--
572
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,329
-that while we were
in the majority... -Mm-hmm.
573
00:23:10,429 --> 00:23:15,100
...from 2016 to 2020,
we invested more money
574
00:23:15,201 --> 00:23:17,870
in historically Black colleges
and universities
575
00:23:18,037 --> 00:23:21,106
than any other time
in American history.
576
00:23:21,207 --> 00:23:25,344
-We made the funding for HBCUs
permanent... -Right.
577
00:23:25,444 --> 00:23:28,514
-...for the first time
in American history. -Mm-hmm.
578
00:23:28,614 --> 00:23:31,550
We put a billion dollars
in the middle of the pandemic
579
00:23:31,650 --> 00:23:34,353
specifically targeting HBCUs.
580
00:23:34,453 --> 00:23:38,824
My office-- we led the charge
on sickle cell anemia research
581
00:23:38,924 --> 00:23:41,861
and passed legislation to make
sure that it would be easier.
582
00:23:41,961 --> 00:23:45,798
Unemployment, 2016 to 2020,
we had the lowest unemployment
583
00:23:45,898 --> 00:23:48,133
in the history of the country
for African Americans,
584
00:23:48,234 --> 00:23:51,670
Hispanics, Asians,
a 70-year low for women.
585
00:23:51,770 --> 00:23:53,239
We created seven million jobs.
586
00:23:53,339 --> 00:23:56,175
-Two-thirds were African
Americans and Hispanics. -Yeah.
587
00:23:56,275 --> 00:23:58,611
So-- but my point is
that when you think
588
00:23:58,711 --> 00:24:01,080
about the policy positions
that I have fought for,
589
00:24:01,113 --> 00:24:04,216
not to even talk
about opportunity zones,
590
00:24:04,316 --> 00:24:09,488
the fact is that as a sitting
conservative Republican,
591
00:24:09,588 --> 00:24:14,093
I fought for those issues
that had the greatest impact
592
00:24:14,193 --> 00:24:15,628
in the communities
where I come from
593
00:24:15,728 --> 00:24:17,897
because it's, like,
common sense.
594
00:24:18,030 --> 00:24:19,899
But-but here's, but here's the
thing that I find interesting.
595
00:24:20,032 --> 00:24:23,469
-Yes. -And by the way, you're
not an outlier in doing this.
596
00:24:23,569 --> 00:24:27,039
I-I-I find it interesting, um,
to see how American politicians
597
00:24:27,139 --> 00:24:29,041
choose to measure time or effect
598
00:24:29,074 --> 00:24:30,176
because what you said was true,
599
00:24:30,276 --> 00:24:32,745
-that 2016 to-- to 2020...
-Yes, yes.
600
00:24:32,845 --> 00:24:34,246
There was a man by the name
of Barack Obama
601
00:24:34,346 --> 00:24:36,949
who was president up until 2016,
and, as you know,
602
00:24:37,049 --> 00:24:39,318
-in economics effects can take a
while. -I-I've heard that name.
603
00:24:39,418 --> 00:24:40,753
-Absolutely... -You've heard
of the name, right?
604
00:24:40,853 --> 00:24:43,055
-(stammers) I have. -Right?
And so, no, so here's the thing.
605
00:24:43,122 --> 00:24:44,523
-I have indeed, yes, yes, yes.
-Here's the thing.
606
00:24:44,623 --> 00:24:48,360
I don't think, I don't think
I'm-- you know, and you know
607
00:24:48,460 --> 00:24:49,828
-we've had conversations.
-We have indeed, yeah.
608
00:24:49,929 --> 00:24:51,230
-Yes. -I'm not accusing you
of-of betraying anybody,
609
00:24:51,330 --> 00:24:52,698
I'm not accusing you of that.
610
00:24:52,798 --> 00:24:55,434
I think sometimes what becomes
confusing for people is
611
00:24:55,534 --> 00:24:59,071
how it seems
like the Republican Party
612
00:24:59,171 --> 00:25:02,074
and-and conservatives at large
seem to have
613
00:25:02,141 --> 00:25:05,311
an idea of, uh,
you know, victimhood.
614
00:25:05,411 --> 00:25:07,680
Let's-let's put it this way.
So, I'll see people saying,
615
00:25:07,780 --> 00:25:09,648
"Oh, we're sick and tired
of people talking about racism.
616
00:25:09,748 --> 00:25:10,950
"That's over.
We-We're sick and tired
617
00:25:11,083 --> 00:25:12,751
"of people talking
about oppression. That's over.
618
00:25:12,852 --> 00:25:14,887
-Minorities need to..." Right?
-Yeah.
619
00:25:15,020 --> 00:25:17,356
But what it seems like--
and you'll-you'll-you'll tell me
620
00:25:17,456 --> 00:25:20,559
how you see it-- is it seems
like oftentimes, in order
621
00:25:20,659 --> 00:25:22,828
for people of color
to be accepted
622
00:25:22,928 --> 00:25:25,164
-into the Republican Party...
-Right.
623
00:25:25,264 --> 00:25:28,334
...they have to ignore
all of the systemic things
624
00:25:28,434 --> 00:25:30,102
-that happened to them
in the country. -Yes, right.
625
00:25:30,202 --> 00:25:31,904
And then the people who are
in the Republican Party go,
626
00:25:32,037 --> 00:25:33,038
"We're the victims.
627
00:25:33,138 --> 00:25:34,273
"We're the real people
being oppressed,
628
00:25:34,373 --> 00:25:35,908
"we're being replaced,
we're being oppressed.
629
00:25:36,041 --> 00:25:37,042
"This is what's
actually happening
630
00:25:37,142 --> 00:25:38,511
because we are white."
631
00:25:38,611 --> 00:25:40,045
And I-I find-- d-do you not find
632
00:25:40,112 --> 00:25:41,514
that there's a weird disparity
at times?
633
00:25:41,614 --> 00:25:45,251
I hear what you're saying,
but can I point out one thing?
634
00:25:45,351 --> 00:25:46,619
Of course.
Do y'all mind?
635
00:25:46,719 --> 00:25:48,387
-(audience laughs)
-Okay.
636
00:25:48,487 --> 00:25:50,723
-Whew.
-(laughing)
637
00:25:50,823 --> 00:25:52,658
Don't ask a question
you don't know the answer to.
638
00:25:52,758 --> 00:25:55,194
'Cause we don't know.
My bad, my bad.
639
00:25:56,195 --> 00:25:58,097
-In my book...
-Yes.
640
00:25:58,197 --> 00:25:59,932
...one thing you'll learn
very quickly,
641
00:26:00,065 --> 00:26:04,136
-I don't sidestep the issue
of race at all. -You don't.
642
00:26:04,236 --> 00:26:06,205
That-That's why I say,
with you, I agree with that.
643
00:26:06,305 --> 00:26:08,974
-Right.
-And-and I-I talk about
644
00:26:09,074 --> 00:26:10,976
the 20-plus times
that I've been stopped
645
00:26:11,076 --> 00:26:12,778
-in the last two decades...
-Yes.
646
00:26:12,878 --> 00:26:15,181
-...for just driving
while Black. -Mm-hmm.
647
00:26:15,281 --> 00:26:17,516
I talk about the race riot
that happened at the high school
648
00:26:17,616 --> 00:26:19,285
I was going to attend
when I was in the eighth grade.
649
00:26:19,385 --> 00:26:21,787
I talk-I talk about
the challenges
650
00:26:21,887 --> 00:26:23,856
that so many people
in our community
651
00:26:24,023 --> 00:26:26,926
-has faced because of
the color of our skin. -Right.
652
00:26:27,026 --> 00:26:30,029
I-I talk about
the economic realities.
653
00:26:30,062 --> 00:26:31,730
I talk about the justice system.
654
00:26:31,830 --> 00:26:34,033
I work, as you know,
on police reform.
655
00:26:34,133 --> 00:26:35,501
So, the truth of the matter is
656
00:26:35,601 --> 00:26:37,570
that I think you have to be
comfortable in your own skin,
657
00:26:37,670 --> 00:26:39,038
-Mm-hmm.
-wherever you are.
658
00:26:39,138 --> 00:26:43,609
And if you have to betray or
deny a part of your existence,
659
00:26:43,709 --> 00:26:45,277
don't do it.
660
00:26:45,377 --> 00:26:49,815
And I refuse to allow
any party affiliation
661
00:26:49,915 --> 00:26:52,218
to stop me from being what
I'm going to be when I leave
662
00:26:52,318 --> 00:26:54,220
and what I was before I came.
663
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,322
-But... -And you do, I will say,
you do that honestly.
664
00:26:56,422 --> 00:26:57,456
-Yeah, you do that honestly,
-(applause)
665
00:26:57,556 --> 00:26:59,491
-beyond-beyond just black.
-Yes, yes.
666
00:26:59,592 --> 00:27:01,260
You talk about this in the book,
for instance.
667
00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:04,063
You-you-you were one
of the senators who said,
668
00:27:04,163 --> 00:27:06,065
Donald Trump, in trying
to overturn the election,
669
00:27:06,131 --> 00:27:07,533
-what he did
was unconstitutional. -Yes.
670
00:27:07,633 --> 00:27:09,168
You know,
you talk about January 6.
671
00:27:09,268 --> 00:27:10,970
I feel like, even in the book,
672
00:27:11,070 --> 00:27:12,938
when you're telling the story
of January 6,
673
00:27:13,072 --> 00:27:16,108
you-you do a really good job
of placing the blame
674
00:27:16,208 --> 00:27:18,677
at the feet of the people
who conducted the insurrection.
675
00:27:18,777 --> 00:27:20,312
Yes, yes.
676
00:27:20,412 --> 00:27:22,081
It seems like there is
a looming absence, though,
677
00:27:22,181 --> 00:27:24,817
you know, a glaring absence
of Trump's name in it.
678
00:27:24,917 --> 00:27:28,053
-It seems like at times you
are... -(scattered chuckles)
679
00:27:28,153 --> 00:27:30,689
You know, and I-I don't mean it
in a bad way at all,
680
00:27:30,789 --> 00:27:34,627
but it seems like you are trying
to thread the needle, you know,
681
00:27:34,727 --> 00:27:38,230
of saying what happened but
then not saying why it happened.
682
00:27:38,330 --> 00:27:40,966
-Well... -(applause)
-Does that make sense?
683
00:27:41,066 --> 00:27:43,602
I... Yes, it does.
684
00:27:43,702 --> 00:27:45,137
(applause quiets)
685
00:27:45,237 --> 00:27:46,572
(man shouts indistinctly)
686
00:27:46,672 --> 00:27:49,341
Yeah, tell the truth. Praise the
Lord, yes, yes. I like that.
687
00:27:49,441 --> 00:27:52,711
So it-it is called The
Daily Show with Trevor Noah
688
00:27:52,811 --> 00:27:54,246
-and not Tim Scott so...
-Right.
689
00:27:54,346 --> 00:27:56,415
-I assume the audience is gonna
go with you. -No, no, no, no.
690
00:27:56,515 --> 00:27:58,050
-But here's, but here's...
-No, no. No, I...
691
00:27:58,150 --> 00:27:59,418
No, I'm-I'm being fun...
I'm being funny.
692
00:27:59,518 --> 00:28:00,819
-I'm being funny. -Yeah.
No, I'm with you. I'm with you.
693
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,354
I mean, I know you're a
comedian. I'm trying my best.
694
00:28:02,454 --> 00:28:03,556
-You know.
-(laughing)
695
00:28:03,656 --> 00:28:04,790
I'm working...
Give a brother a break.
696
00:28:04,890 --> 00:28:06,358
-No, I give you all breaks.
-So, so...
697
00:28:06,458 --> 00:28:08,027
No, you know that. Yes.
698
00:28:08,127 --> 00:28:09,295
Here's-here's my point, though.
699
00:28:09,395 --> 00:28:13,666
I was actually
in the building...
700
00:28:13,766 --> 00:28:15,634
And you... yeah, you talk about
it in the book.
701
00:28:15,734 --> 00:28:17,136
...rolling my sleeves up,
702
00:28:17,236 --> 00:28:19,872
-preparing to fight for my life.
-Right.
703
00:28:19,972 --> 00:28:21,774
So when I put the blame
on the people
704
00:28:21,874 --> 00:28:23,442
-who were coming after me,
-Mm-hmm.
705
00:28:23,542 --> 00:28:26,378
I put the blame squarely
where I believe it belongs.
706
00:28:26,478 --> 00:28:29,648
And that's what you hear
in my-my recount of the issue.
707
00:28:29,748 --> 00:28:32,751
When I say that at the end
of that day on January 6,
708
00:28:32,852 --> 00:28:35,654
we, the United States Senate,
709
00:28:35,754 --> 00:28:37,423
both Republicans and Democrats,
710
00:28:37,523 --> 00:28:41,360
went back out
and performed our duty
711
00:28:41,460 --> 00:28:43,696
to affirm that President Biden
has won the election?
712
00:28:43,796 --> 00:28:45,264
-Mm-hmm.
-We did our job.
713
00:28:45,364 --> 00:28:47,766
So I'm not actually sugarcoating
714
00:28:47,867 --> 00:28:49,602
or skirting or pivoting
away from an issue.
715
00:28:49,702 --> 00:28:52,972
I'm actually not making it more
political than it has to be.
716
00:28:53,105 --> 00:28:54,340
-But then let me ask you this.
-Certainly.
717
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,842
Okay, many people
have floated the idea--
718
00:28:56,942 --> 00:28:58,511
and I'm not asking
about everybody.
719
00:28:58,611 --> 00:29:00,613
As my mom would say, "I'm only
asking about you right now."
720
00:29:00,713 --> 00:29:02,014
(laughter)
721
00:29:02,114 --> 00:29:04,316
Uh, I would like to know then
722
00:29:04,416 --> 00:29:09,154
if you were asked to run as
Donald Trump's vice president,
723
00:29:09,255 --> 00:29:10,990
would you accept that?
724
00:29:11,123 --> 00:29:12,124
That's a good question.
725
00:29:12,224 --> 00:29:15,261
-(laughter)
-I-I was, uh...
726
00:29:15,361 --> 00:29:17,563
I'm going to pivot.
727
00:29:17,663 --> 00:29:19,298
-(laughter)
-At least you're honest.
728
00:29:19,398 --> 00:29:21,133
Okay. At least you're honest.
729
00:29:21,233 --> 00:29:24,436
-(applause) -(laughing)
-So...
730
00:29:24,537 --> 00:29:26,338
Let me... here's the truth.
731
00:29:26,438 --> 00:29:29,508
When you're up for reelection
to the United States Senate,
732
00:29:29,608 --> 00:29:32,711
the first goal is to win.
733
00:29:32,811 --> 00:29:35,881
So once you win, then you look
at the options that are left
734
00:29:35,981 --> 00:29:38,584
and make a decision
on what is possible.
735
00:29:38,684 --> 00:29:40,886
And so, for me,
at this point in my career,
736
00:29:40,986 --> 00:29:44,089
the only thing I'm asking for
are the people in South Carolina
737
00:29:44,156 --> 00:29:48,227
to give me a s...
a chance to be reelected.
738
00:29:48,327 --> 00:29:49,995
Right. And-and they do,
they do love you.
739
00:29:50,095 --> 00:29:51,463
You served your state well.
740
00:29:51,564 --> 00:29:52,998
You know, you talk about
your beginnings in the book
741
00:29:53,098 --> 00:29:54,200
and you talk about
the commitment
742
00:29:54,300 --> 00:29:55,668
that you have to your country.
743
00:29:55,768 --> 00:29:57,937
And people-people admire it
in the way that you've served,
744
00:29:58,103 --> 00:29:59,638
whether they agree with you
or not.
745
00:29:59,738 --> 00:30:02,274
Um, talking about
South Carolina, though.
746
00:30:02,374 --> 00:30:04,677
-Yes, sir. -I would love
to know how you see the state
747
00:30:04,777 --> 00:30:06,579
and its positioning
as it pertains
748
00:30:06,679 --> 00:30:08,447
to some of the issues
facing America today,
749
00:30:08,547 --> 00:30:10,983
one of the biggest
being abortion.
750
00:30:11,116 --> 00:30:14,119
For many, many years, people
said Roe v. Wade was settled.
751
00:30:14,220 --> 00:30:15,421
-Roe v. Wade was settle.
-Yeah.
752
00:30:15,521 --> 00:30:17,056
People saw
the Supreme Court flip
753
00:30:17,122 --> 00:30:19,358
in a way that some senators
even felt betrayed.
754
00:30:19,458 --> 00:30:22,328
You know, I won't ask you to
comment on the Supreme Court,
755
00:30:22,428 --> 00:30:24,263
you know, but what I will
ask you to comment on
756
00:30:24,363 --> 00:30:25,698
is South Carolina as a whole.
757
00:30:25,798 --> 00:30:28,133
Right now, many senators,
many lawmakers
758
00:30:28,234 --> 00:30:29,735
have said it's up to the states.
759
00:30:29,835 --> 00:30:31,570
-Let the states decide.
-Yeah.
760
00:30:31,670 --> 00:30:33,172
We see states
are starting to decide--
761
00:30:33,272 --> 00:30:35,274
Kansas, Indiana, et cetera.
762
00:30:35,374 --> 00:30:38,177
South Carolina has a bill
that is being discussed
763
00:30:38,277 --> 00:30:42,081
that would prohibit people
from giving women information
764
00:30:42,181 --> 00:30:44,116
on getting an abortion,
even if they were to do it
765
00:30:44,216 --> 00:30:46,285
in a state that did decided
to still have it.
766
00:30:46,385 --> 00:30:48,287
So, where do you stand
on that issue then?
767
00:30:48,387 --> 00:30:50,489
Well, I will say, I have not
read the legislation
768
00:30:50,589 --> 00:30:52,491
because I'm a United States
senator, not a state senator,
769
00:30:52,591 --> 00:30:54,493
-so I don't have the information
to answer. -Uh-huh. -(groaning)
770
00:30:54,593 --> 00:30:56,695
-I... Look, look, look, look.
-No, no, no, I agree.
771
00:30:56,795 --> 00:30:58,264
I understand, you don't want
to comment on something,
772
00:30:58,364 --> 00:30:59,698
-but then even... -No, no,
but, hey, bottom line...
773
00:30:59,798 --> 00:31:01,200
No, no, let me.
774
00:31:01,300 --> 00:31:02,835
Not-not... don't think
I'm gonna ever satisfy
775
00:31:02,935 --> 00:31:05,271
-your audience on this issue.
Don't get me wrong. -No, no, no.
776
00:31:05,371 --> 00:31:07,106
-No, I'm... Yes.
-But the truth is, though,
777
00:31:07,172 --> 00:31:09,208
you're asking me about a bill
I have not even seen,
778
00:31:09,308 --> 00:31:10,843
-nor have I...
-So then let me ask you...
779
00:31:10,943 --> 00:31:12,511
-Yeah. Yeah.
-Let me ask you, then,
780
00:31:12,611 --> 00:31:14,580
-based not on that bill, but on
the issue, rather. -Yes. Yes.
781
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,048
Should people be able
to get information
782
00:31:16,081 --> 00:31:17,316
about the decisions
that they want to make?
783
00:31:17,416 --> 00:31:19,051
-Yes.
-The answer is "yes." Yup.
784
00:31:19,084 --> 00:31:20,486
Okay. So if they were
restricting it--
785
00:31:20,586 --> 00:31:22,121
-I'm not saying they are--
right? -I don't... I don't...
786
00:31:22,221 --> 00:31:24,857
-Yeah. Yeah. -Then you would
not be for that?
787
00:31:24,957 --> 00:31:27,593
I think that people making
a profound decision
788
00:31:27,693 --> 00:31:30,129
-should have all
the information. -Mm-hmm.
789
00:31:30,229 --> 00:31:31,597
-Pros and cons.
-Right.
790
00:31:31,697 --> 00:31:35,067
Let's talk about, um,
the journey to the presidency.
791
00:31:35,167 --> 00:31:37,870
I've been on The Daily Show
for a few years now,
792
00:31:37,970 --> 00:31:39,538
and there's something
I've noticed,
793
00:31:39,638 --> 00:31:42,975
and that is,
when people write memoirs...
794
00:31:43,075 --> 00:31:46,378
-(laughter)
-it generally means...
795
00:31:46,478 --> 00:31:48,647
-it generally means...
-(both laugh)
796
00:31:48,747 --> 00:31:51,550
-(applause)
-It generally means that they...
797
00:31:51,650 --> 00:31:53,185
they might be, uh...
798
00:31:53,285 --> 00:31:56,355
-they might be eyeing a run
at the presidency. -Oh.
799
00:31:56,455 --> 00:31:59,491
So, with 2024 coming up...
800
00:31:59,592 --> 00:32:02,761
I know you've been asked this
in many, many different ways.
801
00:32:02,862 --> 00:32:04,830
I'm not going to ask you, "Would
you run? Would you not run?"
802
00:32:04,930 --> 00:32:06,298
You're gonna tell me,
"Well, Trevor, right now,
803
00:32:06,398 --> 00:32:07,733
"we just got
to focus on the midterms,
804
00:32:07,833 --> 00:32:09,134
-and they're the most important
thing." -(laughter)
805
00:32:09,235 --> 00:32:10,469
But I know that.
I get that, right?
806
00:32:10,569 --> 00:32:12,304
-I actually wasn't going
to say that. -Okay.
807
00:32:12,404 --> 00:32:13,639
I was going to say
that we should focus
808
00:32:13,739 --> 00:32:15,040
on the next Friday night
809
00:32:15,074 --> 00:32:16,375
like we were
high school football players,
810
00:32:16,475 --> 00:32:18,377
-but you get the point.
Yes, yes, yes. -Ah. Right.
811
00:32:18,477 --> 00:32:20,379
-So let me ask you this then,
rather. -Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
812
00:32:20,479 --> 00:32:22,448
What would do you differently
813
00:32:22,548 --> 00:32:24,717
if you were elected president
of the United States?
814
00:32:24,817 --> 00:32:27,620
What would you do differently
from a Donald Trump presidency?
815
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,656
What would you do differently
from a Joe Biden presidency?
816
00:32:30,756 --> 00:32:33,158
What is the difference
that you would bring?
817
00:32:33,259 --> 00:32:35,761
I honestly think that the...
818
00:32:35,861 --> 00:32:37,396
A-- America's
the greatest country on Earth.
819
00:32:37,496 --> 00:32:39,231
We are the solution,
not the problem.
820
00:32:39,331 --> 00:32:41,233
-(person whoops, claps) -If we
are going to focus our attention
821
00:32:41,333 --> 00:32:43,269
on making America
a better country...
822
00:32:43,369 --> 00:32:45,404
Uh, thank all three
of your people up there.
823
00:32:45,504 --> 00:32:47,573
-I really appreciate that. Um...
If-if... -(laughter)
824
00:32:47,673 --> 00:32:49,175
I think it's just, in the
moment, people are struggling.
825
00:32:49,275 --> 00:32:50,776
-In the moment. Yeah. Yeah.
-In the moment, people are,
826
00:32:50,876 --> 00:32:52,811
-for whatever reason, yeah.
-I see. So,
827
00:32:52,912 --> 00:32:54,346
if I were going
to set an agenda,
828
00:32:54,446 --> 00:32:55,748
-the first thing
I would do is... -Mm-hmm.
829
00:32:55,848 --> 00:32:58,717
I would focus on the poorest
zip codes in this country
830
00:32:58,817 --> 00:33:01,520
-need really high-quality
education. -I agree.
831
00:33:01,620 --> 00:33:04,123
-(applause)
-If... (stammers)
832
00:33:06,492 --> 00:33:08,294
I went to four different
elementary schools
833
00:33:08,394 --> 00:33:10,095
by the fourth grade.
834
00:33:10,162 --> 00:33:14,733
I am serious about equipping
our parents with all the options
835
00:33:14,833 --> 00:33:17,403
they need,
and improving the quality
836
00:33:17,503 --> 00:33:20,039
of our public education, rather
than... Here in New York City,
837
00:33:20,139 --> 00:33:22,508
-the Success Academy
does a fantastic job. -Mm-hmm.
838
00:33:22,608 --> 00:33:24,410
Or in Charleston, we have the...
839
00:33:24,510 --> 00:33:26,946
We have one of the top 50
public high schools
840
00:33:27,046 --> 00:33:28,747
in all of the country.
841
00:33:28,848 --> 00:33:32,451
So there's a way for us
to be able... to be able
842
00:33:32,551 --> 00:33:36,055
to provide great incentives
for our... for our kids
843
00:33:36,121 --> 00:33:38,157
to continue along the path
to a better education.
844
00:33:38,257 --> 00:33:40,826
-That's number one.
-Is that your way of saying
845
00:33:40,926 --> 00:33:42,161
-privatizing education?
-No, no, no.
846
00:33:42,261 --> 00:33:43,596
I don't know if
you're saying that or not.
847
00:33:43,696 --> 00:33:45,264
Yeah. Let me say it differently.
Uh, so... No, no.
848
00:33:45,364 --> 00:33:46,599
But this is the thing
I've noticed in America.
849
00:33:46,699 --> 00:33:47,900
-Absolutely. I am...
-In the book...
850
00:33:48,067 --> 00:33:49,468
-Just to go back to the book.
-Yeah, yeah.
851
00:33:49,568 --> 00:33:52,471
What I do like is that you talk
about the impacts that education
852
00:33:52,571 --> 00:33:54,073
made both negatively
and positively in your life.
853
00:33:54,106 --> 00:33:56,242
-Absolutely, yeah. -You know,
where it impacted you.
854
00:33:56,342 --> 00:33:57,576
And there's something
I did notice in the book is,
855
00:33:57,676 --> 00:33:59,144
your journey cannot be separated
856
00:33:59,245 --> 00:34:00,679
from the journey
that America had.
857
00:34:00,779 --> 00:34:02,715
You cannot separate it
from a world where
858
00:34:02,815 --> 00:34:04,583
-America believed
in investing in America. -Yeah.
859
00:34:04,683 --> 00:34:06,585
Where it wasn't a,
"Oh, those kids can choose
860
00:34:06,685 --> 00:34:09,421
those charter schools
or those systems or those..."
861
00:34:09,522 --> 00:34:10,756
-You get what I'm saying?
-Absolutely. Yup.
862
00:34:10,856 --> 00:34:11,957
It seemed like this was...
863
00:34:12,091 --> 00:34:13,325
you were a product
of that world.
864
00:34:13,425 --> 00:34:15,694
And we spend $760 billion,
865
00:34:15,794 --> 00:34:19,231
as a country,
on public education, K-12.
866
00:34:19,331 --> 00:34:21,367
-But teachers are still broke.
-Listen, we... Listen.
867
00:34:21,467 --> 00:34:24,670
-(applause and cheering)
-If you're... Yeah. Yes. Yeah.
868
00:34:24,770 --> 00:34:29,208
So...
And your point is a good one.
869
00:34:29,308 --> 00:34:32,578
So, we... in the Department of
Education in Washington, D.C.,
870
00:34:32,678 --> 00:34:34,780
the average employee
at the Department of Education
871
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,416
makes over $100,000 a year
while the teacher does not.
872
00:34:37,516 --> 00:34:39,351
So, should we take some
of the money that we're spending
873
00:34:39,451 --> 00:34:41,787
in Washington, D.C.,
and give it back to the states
874
00:34:41,887 --> 00:34:43,722
so that they can provide
more money for teachers?
875
00:34:43,822 --> 00:34:45,157
-That's great.
-Well, but, or you could...
876
00:34:45,257 --> 00:34:47,159
-or you could just take it
away from wars. -Or...
877
00:34:47,259 --> 00:34:48,727
-(applause and cheering)
-Yup, that's true,
878
00:34:48,827 --> 00:34:51,096
-but I would disagree.
I would disagree. -You know?
879
00:34:51,197 --> 00:34:54,466
Yeah. So, I would say
without any question
880
00:34:54,567 --> 00:34:57,203
that if you look
at the breakdown of our budget
881
00:34:57,303 --> 00:34:58,704
-around the country,
you would see... -Mm-hmm.
882
00:34:58,804 --> 00:35:00,706
that we are spending
$760 billion--
883
00:35:00,806 --> 00:35:02,708
-750, 775 on education.
-Yeah. Yeah.
884
00:35:02,808 --> 00:35:06,478
We spend about 670--
oh, actually, it's up now--
885
00:35:06,579 --> 00:35:09,081
about $800 billion
on our discretionary defense.
886
00:35:09,114 --> 00:35:10,616
We spend about a trillion--
887
00:35:10,716 --> 00:35:12,952
$1.1 trillion
on Social Security.
888
00:35:13,085 --> 00:35:15,588
About $800 billion on Medicare.
889
00:35:15,688 --> 00:35:18,157
About $600 or so on Medicaid.
890
00:35:18,257 --> 00:35:20,759
-So, our domestic spending
-Mm-hmm.
891
00:35:20,860 --> 00:35:22,161
rivals any other place on earth.
892
00:35:22,261 --> 00:35:25,030
So, it's not that we can't
walk and chew gum.
893
00:35:25,064 --> 00:35:28,133
It's not that we can't
provide for the primary defense
894
00:35:28,234 --> 00:35:30,302
of this nation
and fund education.
895
00:35:30,402 --> 00:35:33,439
The truth is, in South Carolina
and around the country,
896
00:35:33,539 --> 00:35:35,207
some of the
poorest-performing schools
897
00:35:35,307 --> 00:35:38,377
have about $24,000 per student.
898
00:35:38,477 --> 00:35:41,881
One of the blessings
of this area in New York City
899
00:35:42,047 --> 00:35:43,883
is the charter schools,
the Success Academy,
900
00:35:44,049 --> 00:35:45,818
very similar to what we
have in Charleston--
901
00:35:45,918 --> 00:35:47,786
Meeting Street Academies--
where you're seeing
902
00:35:47,887 --> 00:35:49,955
for less than half
903
00:35:50,055 --> 00:35:53,092
of the current
student, uh, expenditures,
904
00:35:53,192 --> 00:35:56,262
you can get
high-quality education
905
00:35:56,362 --> 00:35:58,831
for the average student
906
00:35:58,931 --> 00:36:02,134
in the average place
without privatizing it.
907
00:36:02,234 --> 00:36:05,471
And, oh, by the way, I still--
I still support all choice.
908
00:36:05,571 --> 00:36:08,140
I mean, whatever it takes
to improve education, I'm for.
909
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:10,609
-All choice? Whoa!
-Hold on, sorry, sorry.
910
00:36:10,709 --> 00:36:12,678
-I'm-I'm not gonna clip that.
-(cheering, applause)
911
00:36:12,778 --> 00:36:14,547
-I'm not going to clip that.
-In education. In education.
912
00:36:14,647 --> 00:36:16,382
-I know where you stand. I know
where you stand. -Yes, yes.
913
00:36:16,482 --> 00:36:18,651
-Um, before I let you go,
there-there is-- -Trevor,
914
00:36:18,751 --> 00:36:20,452
-you're-you're pretty good
at this job. -Thank you.
915
00:36:20,553 --> 00:36:21,921
-Thank you.
-That's-- And-and your--
916
00:36:22,021 --> 00:36:23,189
No, and I appreciate
you coming, I really do.
917
00:36:23,289 --> 00:36:25,624
And you're discerning
in your hearing
918
00:36:25,724 --> 00:36:27,259
and you're directional
in your questions.
919
00:36:27,359 --> 00:36:29,395
-I like this. Yeah, you--
-I try, I try. Um...
920
00:36:29,495 --> 00:36:32,331
-I understand.
-It's, um, you know...
921
00:36:32,431 --> 00:36:34,433
what I do enjoy
in the book is that
922
00:36:34,533 --> 00:36:36,468
it reminds me that
you are a human being.
923
00:36:36,569 --> 00:36:38,537
I don't-I don't need to agree
with you on everything
924
00:36:38,637 --> 00:36:40,472
to believe that
you are a human being.
925
00:36:40,573 --> 00:36:42,174
-And you talk about that in
the book, you talk about -Right.
926
00:36:42,274 --> 00:36:44,276
the way people see you, um,
927
00:36:44,376 --> 00:36:46,245
the way you see people
you don't agree with.
928
00:36:46,345 --> 00:36:48,781
One of the more, um,
touching parts of your book
929
00:36:48,881 --> 00:36:50,382
is when you talk about
going with your grandfather
930
00:36:50,482 --> 00:36:52,418
to-- for him to vote.
931
00:36:52,518 --> 00:36:55,087
-And this was for him
to vote for-- -2008.
932
00:36:55,187 --> 00:36:56,522
-Yeah, 2008.
-Oh, yeah.
933
00:36:56,622 --> 00:36:59,258
-And he was going to vote
for Barack Obama. -Absolutely.
934
00:36:59,358 --> 00:37:02,061
And one of the volunteers
at the polling station
935
00:37:02,161 --> 00:37:05,931
didn't trust that you would,
like, let him vote.
936
00:37:06,065 --> 00:37:07,900
'Cause your grandfather
couldn't read, is that correct?
937
00:37:08,067 --> 00:37:09,134
Correct. Yeah, so,
938
00:37:09,235 --> 00:37:12,538
it's-it's one of the most
touching stories
939
00:37:12,638 --> 00:37:15,774
about my grandfather
I could ever share. Uh...
940
00:37:15,875 --> 00:37:19,512
going back to 1921,
fast forward in 2008,
941
00:37:19,612 --> 00:37:22,815
thinking about a Black man
born in the deep south
942
00:37:22,915 --> 00:37:26,585
-Mm-hmm. -with very, very
few rights, if any at all...
943
00:37:26,685 --> 00:37:28,320
living long enough
944
00:37:28,420 --> 00:37:32,024
to see this country
evolve far enough
945
00:37:32,124 --> 00:37:35,694
for the possibility
of an African American
946
00:37:35,794 --> 00:37:38,664
being elected
president of the United States.
947
00:37:38,764 --> 00:37:42,601
It was something he could not
948
00:37:42,701 --> 00:37:44,370
comprehend or imagine.
949
00:37:44,470 --> 00:37:46,839
So, I-I take him to vote,
as I-as I always have.
950
00:37:46,939 --> 00:37:48,307
We're walking
into the voting booth,
951
00:37:48,407 --> 00:37:50,075
and because he can't read,
952
00:37:50,176 --> 00:37:52,311
I always went in to the booth
with him,
953
00:37:52,411 --> 00:37:53,946
which is the way that we do it,
954
00:37:54,046 --> 00:37:56,415
and-and the young lady
at the counter didn't think,
955
00:37:56,515 --> 00:38:00,386
me being a Republican, I'm gonna
honor my grandfather's wishes.
956
00:38:00,486 --> 00:38:03,489
And-and I just thought
to myself, "How sad is it
957
00:38:03,589 --> 00:38:07,426
that what she thinks of
the human condition is so off?"
958
00:38:07,526 --> 00:38:10,296
But my grandfather,
having 100% faith in me said,
959
00:38:10,396 --> 00:38:13,632
"Lady, please and thank you.
Shut up."
960
00:38:13,732 --> 00:38:15,601
-And we went in there together.
-"This is my grandson."
961
00:38:15,701 --> 00:38:17,403
Yeah, exactly. And so I said,
"Grandaddy, I want you-
962
00:38:17,503 --> 00:38:19,605
I want you--
I want you to memorize"--
963
00:38:19,705 --> 00:38:21,907
my grandfather had a,
almost a photographic memory--
964
00:38:22,074 --> 00:38:24,443
-Right. -I said, "I want
you to-- 'Barack Obama.'
965
00:38:24,543 --> 00:38:26,478
"I want you
to remember those words,
966
00:38:26,579 --> 00:38:28,914
"so when you see it on TV,
you know who you voted for.
967
00:38:29,081 --> 00:38:31,083
-I love that. -"There will never
be any question on who--
968
00:38:31,150 --> 00:38:33,185
what you did."
And so he said, "Okay, Timmy."
969
00:38:33,285 --> 00:38:35,855
He calls me Timmy. And so
we push the button and I said,
970
00:38:35,955 --> 00:38:37,256
"Okay, Granddad, I you
to hit the 'vote' button--
971
00:38:37,356 --> 00:38:40,626
the big green button." And the--
And walking out there,
972
00:38:40,726 --> 00:38:42,761
getting in the car...
973
00:38:42,862 --> 00:38:45,097
I've seen my grandfather
cry twice.
974
00:38:45,197 --> 00:38:49,101
Once was when my grandmother
died, April 29, 2001.
975
00:38:49,168 --> 00:38:52,104
And the second time
was having the privilege
976
00:38:52,204 --> 00:38:56,208
and the responsibility of
electing President Barack Obama.
977
00:38:56,308 --> 00:38:58,911
(applause)
978
00:38:59,011 --> 00:39:01,814
It's a really,
really fantastic book,
979
00:39:01,914 --> 00:39:04,149
because I think it gives,
uh, so much more complexity
980
00:39:04,250 --> 00:39:05,651
to who you are as a man.
Thank you for joining me
981
00:39:05,751 --> 00:39:06,852
-on the show.
-Thank you, sir. Appreciate it.
982
00:39:06,952 --> 00:39:09,121
I appreciate you.
Not everyone comes here
983
00:39:09,154 --> 00:39:11,123
and chats with me.
So I always appreciate you.
984
00:39:11,190 --> 00:39:12,858
-Thank you for coming here.
-Thank you, really.
985
00:39:12,958 --> 00:39:15,060
Senator Scott's book
America: A Redemption Story,
986
00:39:15,127 --> 00:39:17,630
is available right now. Stay
tuned, 'cause when we come back,
987
00:39:17,730 --> 00:39:19,164
Nathalie Emmanuel will
be joining me on the show.
988
00:39:19,265 --> 00:39:21,200
Don't go away.
Thank you very much, sir.
989
00:39:21,300 --> 00:39:23,335
(cheering, applause)
990
00:39:26,856 --> 00:39:28,891
(cheering and applause)
991
00:39:31,193 --> 00:39:32,395
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
992
00:39:32,495 --> 00:39:34,063
My next guest
993
00:39:34,163 --> 00:39:36,332
is Emmy-nominated actor
Nathalie Emmanuel.
994
00:39:36,432 --> 00:39:38,834
She's here to talk
about starring in the new film
995
00:39:38,934 --> 00:39:40,369
The Invitation.
996
00:39:40,469 --> 00:39:43,472
So, where are the bride
and groom?
997
00:39:43,572 --> 00:39:45,207
(chuckles softly)
998
00:39:45,307 --> 00:39:47,076
Mmm.
999
00:39:48,778 --> 00:39:52,548
Our four families have served
each other for generations.
1000
00:39:52,648 --> 00:39:53,949
But as you all know,
1001
00:39:54,049 --> 00:39:56,786
there has been someone missing
from this table.
1002
00:39:56,886 --> 00:40:00,723
Tonight, that once-broken bond
will be renewed.
1003
00:40:01,690 --> 00:40:04,727
When Evelyn Alexander and I
are wed.
1004
00:40:04,827 --> 00:40:07,563
(cheering and applause)
1005
00:40:07,663 --> 00:40:09,832
Refreshments, please.
1006
00:40:11,167 --> 00:40:13,035
(gasping)
1007
00:40:13,135 --> 00:40:15,638
Please welcome
Nathalie Emmanuel!

-(cheering and applause)
1009
00:40:32,955 --> 00:40:34,123
Nathalie Emmanuel,
1010
00:40:34,223 --> 00:40:36,258
welcome back to The Daily Show.
1011
00:40:36,358 --> 00:40:37,593
-Welcome in person.
-Thank you.
1012
00:40:37,693 --> 00:40:39,028
-In person. -Because
the first thing I have to say
1013
00:40:39,128 --> 00:40:40,229
is congratulations,
1014
00:40:40,329 --> 00:40:42,198
because the last time we spoke
was virtually...
1015
00:40:42,298 --> 00:40:43,699
-Yes. -...and that's when
you were doing, uh...
1016
00:40:43,799 --> 00:40:45,000
the new show was Die Hart
1017
00:40:45,101 --> 00:40:46,402
-with Kevin Hart, right?
-That's right. That's right.
1018
00:40:46,502 --> 00:40:48,571
-Yeah. -And since then,
you got nominated for an Emmy
1019
00:40:48,671 --> 00:40:50,606
-for that role,
so congratulations. -Thank you.
1020
00:40:50,706 --> 00:40:52,641
(cheering and applause)
1021
00:40:52,742 --> 00:40:54,610
Thank you so much.
1022
00:40:54,710 --> 00:40:56,412
It feels like your-your journey
has just been--
1023
00:40:56,512 --> 00:40:57,646
You know? It's just on the up.
1024
00:40:57,747 --> 00:40:59,248
You're enjoying yourself,
whether it's comedy,
1025
00:40:59,348 --> 00:41:01,183
whether it's drama,
whether it's whatever--
1026
00:41:01,283 --> 00:41:03,586
-This is, like, a thriller.
It's... -It's a thriller/horror.
1027
00:41:03,686 --> 00:41:05,821
-Yeah, it's-it's terrifying.
-Yes.
1028
00:41:05,988 --> 00:41:07,990
Um, I'm-- You know,
I like to challenge myself
1029
00:41:08,057 --> 00:41:10,359
and try my hand at everything.
1030
00:41:10,459 --> 00:41:11,894
Watching this movie, I was like,
1031
00:41:11,994 --> 00:41:14,830
"This is a terrible mistake
that your character has made."
1032
00:41:14,997 --> 00:41:15,998
Because we saw a little bit
in the clip.
1033
00:41:16,065 --> 00:41:17,767
She goes to, like, f--
you know, like,
1034
00:41:17,867 --> 00:41:18,768
-a lavish event in England...
-Yeah, like,
1035
00:41:18,868 --> 00:41:20,770
a destination wedding
1036
00:41:20,870 --> 00:41:24,240
-with a long-lost relative
who is a stranger. -Yes.
1037
00:41:24,340 --> 00:41:26,709
Um, and goes alone.
1038
00:41:26,809 --> 00:41:28,711
I mean, no.
1039
00:41:28,811 --> 00:41:30,312
Like, that was
her first mistake.
1040
00:41:30,413 --> 00:41:32,281
-(laughs)
-(laughs) So...
1041
00:41:32,381 --> 00:41:34,250
I so-- I always joke that, um,
1042
00:41:34,350 --> 00:41:35,851
if it was me in the situation,
1043
00:41:35,951 --> 00:41:37,987
that movie would have ended
in the scene with,
1044
00:41:38,087 --> 00:41:40,356
um, my best friend who's like,
"Are you gonna go meet him?"
1045
00:41:40,456 --> 00:41:43,025
And we'd be like, "Nah."
1046
00:41:43,125 --> 00:41:45,294
And-- 'Cause, no, like...
1047
00:41:45,394 --> 00:41:48,431
-Yeah. -If I got invited
to a long-lost relative's event
1048
00:41:48,531 --> 00:41:51,367
and I get there and then it's
a bunch of people wearing masks
1049
00:41:51,467 --> 00:41:53,202
pulling out knives, I'd be like,
"Yeah, this did not go
1050
00:41:53,302 --> 00:41:54,703
-"as I intended.
-Yeah.
1051
00:41:54,804 --> 00:41:55,771
This-this is not it."
1052
00:41:55,871 --> 00:41:57,440
What-what
I also found interesting was
1053
00:41:57,540 --> 00:42:00,176
you are playing an American
in-in the movie
1054
00:42:00,276 --> 00:42:02,778
-but then everyone in-in-- is
English. -Else is British. Yeah.
1055
00:42:02,878 --> 00:42:04,847
W-- Is that-- is that, like,
super weird for you?
1056
00:42:04,980 --> 00:42:06,982
'Cause it's like you-you're
English playing an American
1057
00:42:07,083 --> 00:42:08,984
with English people.
Do you find that there's, like,
1058
00:42:09,085 --> 00:42:10,853
parts of Nathalie that change?
Like, are there...
1059
00:42:10,986 --> 00:42:11,987
-For sure. -Is, like--
Are there things, like,
1060
00:42:12,054 --> 00:42:13,089
American Nathalie does
1061
00:42:13,189 --> 00:42:15,624
that English Nathalie
would never do?
1062
00:42:15,725 --> 00:42:19,695
Um, I think American Nathalie
is probably a little more--
1063
00:42:19,795 --> 00:42:21,697
She's probably a little louder,
to be honest.
1064
00:42:21,797 --> 00:42:23,065
A little louder?
1065
00:42:23,165 --> 00:42:25,000
Yeah, like, I don't mean that
to sound, like, negative.
1066
00:42:25,067 --> 00:42:26,435
-Like, um... -No, no, no,
it's fine. You've said it.
1067
00:42:26,535 --> 00:42:28,471
-Americans are loud. You've said
it now, Nathalie! -No, but...
1068
00:42:28,571 --> 00:42:31,574
-You've said it now, Nathalie!
-(cheering)
1069
00:42:31,674 --> 00:42:33,509
But we love that.
I love that.
1070
00:42:33,609 --> 00:42:35,544
Um, I think that
sometimes, like,
1071
00:42:35,644 --> 00:42:38,214
-my "Britishness," you know,
often it's like, -Yes.
1072
00:42:38,314 --> 00:42:40,950
-you know, keep it sort of--
-Yes, of course.
1073
00:42:40,983 --> 00:42:42,418
-Uh-huh, yeah.
-Yeah. Exactly. And so--
1074
00:42:42,518 --> 00:42:45,654
And I think there's a freedom
that comes with that accent
1075
00:42:45,755 --> 00:42:48,290
and the-- I see with
Americans, like, they have
1076
00:42:48,391 --> 00:42:49,692
no problem expressing
themselves,
1077
00:42:49,792 --> 00:42:52,128
expressing their opinions,
and I love that.
1078
00:42:52,228 --> 00:42:53,462
-I wish I had more of that.
-I know what you mean.
1079
00:42:53,562 --> 00:42:56,165
-Yes.
-So, I tried to adopt it myself,
1080
00:42:56,265 --> 00:42:57,967
-Not always successfully,
but, yeah. -No, I think
1081
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,735
-you do a great job of it.
I-I loved seeing it -Thank you.
1082
00:42:59,835 --> 00:43:01,103
in the character.
I loved seeing how you changed.
1083
00:43:01,203 --> 00:43:03,272
W-W-- Before I let you go,
there's one change
1084
00:43:03,372 --> 00:43:05,641
that we have to speak about,
and that's your hair.
1085
00:43:05,741 --> 00:43:07,810
-Yeah.
-Right? It looks gorgeous.
1086
00:43:07,977 --> 00:43:09,812
-(cheering, applause)
-Thank you.
1087
00:43:09,979 --> 00:43:12,047
-Thank you so much.
-I-I saw the video
1088
00:43:12,148 --> 00:43:14,984
-of you cutting your hair, and
it was really emotional. -Yeah.
1089
00:43:15,017 --> 00:43:18,220
-It was so emotional.
-Because we've known you
1090
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,990
with your hair for so long,
it's become a part of you,
1091
00:43:21,057 --> 00:43:22,591
and people have even come up
to you and said, like,
1092
00:43:22,691 --> 00:43:24,326
"Thank you so much
for having natural hair
1093
00:43:24,427 --> 00:43:27,396
on-on a TV show,"
and it-- Like,
1094
00:43:27,496 --> 00:43:29,465
what-what made you decide, "You
know what, I'm gonna cut it"?
1095
00:43:29,565 --> 00:43:31,233
-And not for a role, by the way.
Just for yourself. -No.
1096
00:43:31,333 --> 00:43:34,503
It was for me.
Um, I think it had taken--
1097
00:43:34,603 --> 00:43:36,539
I-- For many years,
I wanted to cut my hair,
1098
00:43:36,639 --> 00:43:39,942
and I always
found a reason not to,
1099
00:43:39,975 --> 00:43:41,977
and I think some of it was fear.
1100
00:43:42,078 --> 00:43:45,648
Some of it was like,
oh, um, you know, to be--
1101
00:43:45,748 --> 00:43:48,350
what is femininity
or beauty or whatever?
1102
00:43:48,451 --> 00:43:50,820
Like, often we're kind of taught
that you have to have long hair
1103
00:43:50,953 --> 00:43:55,257
and it has to be a certain way,
and-- and I think I'd, um...
1104
00:43:55,357 --> 00:43:57,426
Also, like, there was
a real pride
1105
00:43:57,526 --> 00:44:00,529
-in not changing my hair,
um, for the screen -Right.
1106
00:44:00,629 --> 00:44:03,232
and on red carpets and doing,
you know, glamorous looks
1107
00:44:03,332 --> 00:44:05,101
with my natural texture,
and, you know,
1108
00:44:05,201 --> 00:44:07,002
hair discrimination,
all of that.
1109
00:44:07,103 --> 00:44:09,371
It was a real kind of defiance
that was in my hair
1110
00:44:09,472 --> 00:44:11,440
and a celebration
that was in my hair.
1111
00:44:11,540 --> 00:44:16,145
And so, when I decided to cut
it, I wanted to just shed it.
1112
00:44:16,245 --> 00:44:19,982
I wanted to let go of all
the sort of complex feelings,
1113
00:44:20,015 --> 00:44:21,851
but, you know, start fresh.
1114
00:44:21,984 --> 00:44:24,220
-And to be honest,
-You did a great job.
1115
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:25,621
-I love it.
-It looks good.
1116
00:44:25,721 --> 00:44:27,256
-Congratulations to you.
-Thank you.
1117
00:44:27,356 --> 00:44:30,159
You've inspired me.
Now...
1118
00:44:30,259 --> 00:44:32,795
Now, maybe... I'm not-I'm not
gonna cut it,
1119
00:44:32,928 --> 00:44:34,263
but maybe I'll come to the show
with corn rows.
1120
00:44:34,363 --> 00:44:36,399
Maybe, you never know.
I might switch things up.
1121
00:44:36,499 --> 00:44:37,967
-You've-you've inspired me, now.
-I mean, you've been doing--
1122
00:44:38,067 --> 00:44:39,268
-You've been mixing it up.
-Yeah, but I might--
1123
00:44:39,368 --> 00:44:40,936
now I might, like,
just do, like, a whole--
1124
00:44:40,970 --> 00:44:43,072
-You never know.
-Like a whole thing.
1125
00:44:43,172 --> 00:44:45,941
Just like a-- You know?
I don't know.
1126
00:44:46,008 --> 00:44:47,309
I still like it for now.
Nathalie, thank you so much
1127
00:44:47,410 --> 00:44:48,344
-for joining me on the show.
-Thank you so much.
1128
00:44:48,444 --> 00:44:50,513
Absolute pleasure
seeing you again.
1129
00:44:50,613 --> 00:44:52,381
Make sure to watch
The Invitation.
1130
00:44:52,481 --> 00:44:54,216
It's gonna be exclusively
in theaters on August 26.
1131
00:44:54,316 --> 00:44:56,285
Nathalie Emmanuel, everybody.
We're gonna take a quick break,
1132
00:44:56,385 --> 00:44:57,953
but we'll be right back
after this.
1133
00:44:58,020 --> 00:45:00,056
-Thank you again.

Well, that's our show
for tonight, but before we go,
1136
00:45:12,301 --> 00:45:16,072
please consider
supporting Jhpiego.
1137
00:45:16,172 --> 00:45:17,573
Right?
They're an organization
1138
00:45:17,674 --> 00:45:20,643
that helps deliver health care
to women around the world,
1139
00:45:20,743 --> 00:45:22,645
whether it's training doctors
on family health,
1140
00:45:22,745 --> 00:45:25,281
uh, educating women
on planned parenting,
1141
00:45:25,381 --> 00:45:26,983
or building new systems
to get women's health care
1142
00:45:27,083 --> 00:45:28,484
to impoverished communities.

Until next time,
stay safe out there.
1147
00:45:35,491 --> 00:45:37,927
And remember,
if Marjorie Taylor Greene
1148
00:45:38,027 --> 00:45:39,329
visits you in prison,
1149
00:45:39,429 --> 00:45:41,964
you're probably not in prison.
Just go home.
1150
00:45:42,065 --> 00:45:45,234
Now here it is,
Your Moment of Zen.

♪ ♪
1152
00:45:49,739 --> 00:45:51,741
We're all so grateful
to be joined
1153
00:45:51,841 --> 00:45:56,079
by representatives
Ronny Jackson, my doctor.
1154
00:45:56,179 --> 00:45:57,580
He loved looking at my body.
1155
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,783
It was so strong, powerful.
1156
00:46:00,883 --> 00:46:04,020
But he said I'm the healthiest
president that's ever lived.
