let's catch up on a few other
things going on in the world.
27
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:20,514
First up, Toyota has announced
that it is recalling
28
00:01:20,614 --> 00:01:23,951
its brand-new electric SUV
after discovering
29
00:01:24,084 --> 00:01:27,187
that the wheels could fall off
at any time.
30
00:01:27,287 --> 00:01:28,889
Yeah.
31
00:01:28,989 --> 00:01:30,123
And I know people always say,
32
00:01:30,224 --> 00:01:31,525
"We gonna do this
till the wheels fall off,"
33
00:01:31,625 --> 00:01:33,660
but I don't think
we actually meant it.
34
00:01:35,095 --> 00:01:37,598
Also, you would think
wheels falling off a car
35
00:01:37,698 --> 00:01:39,433
would be a problem
that was solved long ago,
36
00:01:39,533 --> 00:01:43,237

00:01:43,337 --> 00:01:44,872
Meanwhile,
in international news,

00:01:44,972 --> 00:01:48,108
as heat waves and wildfires
sweep across Europe,

00:01:48,208 --> 00:01:51,211
Spain has started
using sheep and goats

to help clear flammable
vegetation quickly and cheaply.
41
00:01:55,249 --> 00:01:57,618
Yeah. If you ask me,
42
00:01:57,718 --> 00:02:01,188
sending sheep and goats
to fight fires is a great idea.
43
00:02:01,288 --> 00:02:04,458
Yeah, I mean, e-even the
absolute worst-case scenario
44
00:02:04,558 --> 00:02:08,262
is just, like, kebabs,
which is pretty good, you know?
45
00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:10,831

the goats are a great idea,

I'm not sure about the sheep.
47
00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:14,868
I just think that's risky,
you know? Yeah.
48

'Cause the foreman
is gonna be like,

unlawful removal

"What taxes are you paying
when you're 12?"

because what Trump took home
173
00:07:24,311 --> 00:07:26,580
could blow them right off.
174
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,148
NEWSMAN: The Washington Post
has reported
175
00:07:28,248 --> 00:07:30,584
that among the materials
sought by federal agents
176
00:07:30,684 --> 00:07:33,086
was related
to nuclear weapons programs.
177
00:07:33,187 --> 00:07:35,789
If you get into nuclear
related documents,
178
00:07:35,889 --> 00:07:36,957
that is the highest level.
179
00:07:37,057 --> 00:07:39,893
It does not get any more
serious than that.
180
00:07:40,060 --> 00:07:42,396
Some of this could be
information about adversaries,
181
00:07:42,496 --> 00:07:45,666
some of this could be
about nuclear weapon design.
182
00:07:45,766 --> 00:07:49,102
Some of this could be
about our nuclear arsenals,
183
00:07:49,203 --> 00:07:50,938
uh, or our launch procedures.
184
00:07:52,906 --> 00:07:55,209
(laughter)
185
00:07:55,309 --> 00:07:57,177
Are you shitting me?
186
00:07:58,145 --> 00:08:00,013
Donald Trump might have kept
187
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,017
the world's nuclear secrets
in his basement at Mar-a-Lago?
188
00:08:04,117 --> 00:08:06,653
The same place Rudy Giuliani
sleeps to avoid the sunlight?
189
00:08:06,753 --> 00:08:08,522
That is so irresponsible!
190
00:08:10,891 --> 00:08:12,726
Because-- you realize--
the worst-case scenario
191
00:08:12,826 --> 00:08:14,695
with these documents
is that Trump sold them
192
00:08:14,795 --> 00:08:16,463
to, like, Saudi Arabia.
193
00:08:16,563 --> 00:08:17,865
The best-case scenario
194
00:08:18,031 --> 00:08:19,299
is that he just lay in bed
with them
195
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:21,502
and rubbed 'em
all over his naked body.
196
00:08:21,602 --> 00:08:23,036
Actually, you know what,
I'm gonna flip that.
197
00:08:23,070 --> 00:08:24,638
The worst-case scenario
is that he rubbed them naked
198
00:08:24,738 --> 00:08:27,040
on his body. Hopefully
he just sold them to the Saudis.
199
00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:28,909
Hopefully. Hopefully.
200
00:08:29,042 --> 00:08:30,811
Oh, and, by the way, just today,
201
00:08:30,911 --> 00:08:32,179
to add to this whole saga,
202
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:37,284
Trump posted that "in the raid
by the FBI of Mar-a-Lago,
203
00:08:37,384 --> 00:08:39,753
"they stole my three passports--
204
00:08:39,853 --> 00:08:41,355
"one expired--
205
00:08:41,455 --> 00:08:43,957
along with everything else."
206
00:08:44,057 --> 00:08:45,459
(chuckles)
207
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,262
And I can see
why Trump is pissed
208
00:08:48,362 --> 00:08:50,397
if they took his passport.
209
00:08:50,497 --> 00:08:52,933
I mean, he's the guy
who wanted to build the wall
210
00:08:53,066 --> 00:08:54,902
and now he's gonna need
to sneak into Mexico.
211
00:08:55,068 --> 00:08:56,170
Karma's a bitch.
212
00:08:56,270 --> 00:08:58,071
-He's just...
-(cheering and applause)
213
00:08:58,105 --> 00:08:59,773
Also...
214
00:08:59,873 --> 00:09:01,708
also...
215
00:09:02,709 --> 00:09:05,512
...why does Donald Trump
even need a passport?
216
00:09:05,612 --> 00:09:07,347
There is no one on Earth
217
00:09:07,447 --> 00:09:10,217
that looks or sounds
like this man.
218
00:09:10,317 --> 00:09:11,385
No one.
219
00:09:11,485 --> 00:09:13,420
He could land on
a distant planet and the aliens,
220
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,055
they would be...
(trilling) "We've seen TV.
221
00:09:15,155 --> 00:09:16,857
Welcome, Donald Trump."
222
00:09:17,024 --> 00:09:18,425
He'd just be like, "Thank you.
Now please take me
223
00:09:18,525 --> 00:09:21,094
to your three-boobed woman."
224
00:09:21,195 --> 00:09:23,297
And, by the way, you do realize
there's a 15% chance
225
00:09:23,397 --> 00:09:25,866
Trump just misplaced
his passport, right?
226
00:09:26,033 --> 00:09:27,167
It's possible.
227
00:09:27,267 --> 00:09:28,235
It happens all the time.
228
00:09:28,335 --> 00:09:30,237
You think the FBI took something
229
00:09:30,337 --> 00:09:32,439
and you find it
in your sock drawer.
230
00:09:32,539 --> 00:09:35,309
Yeah, like, for all you know,
maybe Melania moved them.
231
00:09:35,409 --> 00:09:36,677
You know? Just like, "Oh, no.
232
00:09:36,777 --> 00:09:39,413
"I guess now I have to go back
to Slovenia by myself.
233
00:09:39,513 --> 00:09:41,682
"Bye, Donald.
234
00:09:41,782 --> 00:09:43,517
Bye."
235
00:09:43,617 --> 00:09:46,587
(applause)
236
00:09:46,687 --> 00:09:48,055
You know,
237
00:09:48,155 --> 00:09:50,123
you know what's been
the most fun,
238
00:09:50,224 --> 00:09:52,359
the most fun in all of this?
239
00:09:52,459 --> 00:09:56,563
Is how Trump and the red caps
are working so hard
240
00:09:56,663 --> 00:10:00,400
to invent new excuses for why
this crime wasn't a crime.
241
00:10:00,501 --> 00:10:03,637
'Cause y-you remember
when-when the story first broke.
242
00:10:03,737 --> 00:10:04,671
Right?
They were saying things like
243
00:10:04,771 --> 00:10:05,739
"There's nothing at Mar-a-Lago
244
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:07,174
"except a bunch of notes
from Eric.
245
00:10:07,274 --> 00:10:08,375
"And-and if they did find
something,
246
00:10:08,475 --> 00:10:09,710
the FBI must have planted it."
247
00:10:09,810 --> 00:10:11,311
Well, forget all that.
Forget all of it.
248
00:10:11,411 --> 00:10:13,580
That was, like, two days ago.
Right?
249
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:15,782
They got a fresh shipment
of excuses today,
250
00:10:15,883 --> 00:10:18,619
starting with "It was homework."
251
00:10:18,719 --> 00:10:21,221
The former president is offering
a new line of defense
252
00:10:21,321 --> 00:10:24,224
for taking these documents
to his Mar-a-Lago home.
253
00:10:24,324 --> 00:10:26,994
A statement released by Trump's
office Friday night contends
254
00:10:27,094 --> 00:10:29,796
that everyone
takes work home sometimes.
255
00:10:29,897 --> 00:10:31,865
Yeah. No, no, you know what,
that's true.
256
00:10:31,965 --> 00:10:34,635
Everyone does take work home
sometimes.
257
00:10:34,735 --> 00:10:37,104
But not Donald Trump!
258
00:10:37,204 --> 00:10:39,506
The man barely took work
to work!
259
00:10:40,474 --> 00:10:41,475
And, also, by the way,
260
00:10:41,575 --> 00:10:43,777
it's not "taking work home
with you"
261
00:10:43,877 --> 00:10:45,145
if you no longer have the job.
262
00:10:45,245 --> 00:10:47,147
Right? Can we agree on that?
Right?
263
00:10:47,247 --> 00:10:48,482
-(applause)
-You don't have the job.
264
00:10:48,582 --> 00:10:50,751
You can't take work home
with you.
265
00:10:52,352 --> 00:10:55,389
Like, if you get fired
from your babysitting job
266
00:10:55,489 --> 00:10:57,791
but you still go pick up the kid
from school...
267
00:10:58,926 --> 00:11:00,360
...that's just kidnapping.
268
00:11:01,428 --> 00:11:02,496
But if you don't like
that excuse,
269
00:11:02,596 --> 00:11:03,964
that's fine, that's fine.
270
00:11:04,064 --> 00:11:05,332
Trump's got another one.
271
00:11:05,432 --> 00:11:07,701
Like "How about Obama?"
272
00:11:07,801 --> 00:11:10,637
President Trump has been making
the baseless and false claim
273
00:11:10,737 --> 00:11:12,105
that former President Obama
274
00:11:12,206 --> 00:11:14,842
took more than
30 million classified documents
275
00:11:14,942 --> 00:11:16,176
when he left the White House.
276
00:11:16,276 --> 00:11:18,612
NEWSWOMAN:
Donald Trump tweeted that...
277
00:11:26,353 --> 00:11:28,689
(laughter)
278
00:11:28,789 --> 00:11:30,090
All right.
279
00:11:30,190 --> 00:11:31,291
Okay.
280
00:11:31,391 --> 00:11:33,627
First of all, uh,
this is just completely made-up.
281
00:11:33,727 --> 00:11:35,095
In fact,
the National Archives came out
282
00:11:35,162 --> 00:11:36,230
and said it is not true.
283
00:11:36,330 --> 00:11:37,931
But, also,
for the sake of the argument,
284
00:11:38,098 --> 00:11:40,200
let's say it was true.
285
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:42,936
These people are the same people
who have spent 15 years saying
286
00:11:43,103 --> 00:11:45,205
Obama is basically the devil.
287
00:11:45,305 --> 00:11:47,541
But then, when they get
into trouble, they're like,
288
00:11:47,641 --> 00:11:50,577
"It's fine. We just did
the same thing as the devil!"
289
00:11:51,545 --> 00:11:53,247
And, also, uh,
did-did you pick up that, uh,
290
00:11:53,347 --> 00:11:55,849
"Barack Hussein Obama"?
291
00:11:55,949 --> 00:11:57,918
That was a nice little touch.
Yeah.
292
00:11:58,018 --> 00:12:01,321
Just to remind the people
who he really is. Yeah.
293
00:12:02,723 --> 00:12:03,724
I know what Trump is doing.
294
00:12:03,824 --> 00:12:05,359
He's trying to drum up
old Islamophobia.
295
00:12:05,459 --> 00:12:08,262
But everybody knows that
that's Barack's middle name.
296
00:12:08,362 --> 00:12:11,131
It doesn't sound nefarious
anymore.
297
00:12:11,231 --> 00:12:13,133
You know? It just sounds like
you're his mom.
298
00:12:13,233 --> 00:12:14,935
"Barack Hussein Obama,
299
00:12:15,068 --> 00:12:17,571
you get down here and clean up
this mess right now!"
300
00:12:18,539 --> 00:12:19,506
"Uh, coming, Mom."
301
00:12:19,606 --> 00:12:21,441
-But...
-(laughter)
302
00:12:21,542 --> 00:12:23,277
(applause)
303
00:12:23,377 --> 00:12:25,312
But...
304
00:12:26,380 --> 00:12:27,581
...if you don't like
that excuse,
305
00:12:27,681 --> 00:12:29,116
it's cool, baby. It's cool.
306
00:12:29,216 --> 00:12:30,517
Trump's got another one for you.
307
00:12:30,617 --> 00:12:34,121
It's about how he declassified
these documents
308
00:12:34,221 --> 00:12:35,622
-in his mind.
-(gasping)
309
00:12:35,722 --> 00:12:37,691
NEWSMAN: And a new defense
emerged overnight
310
00:12:37,791 --> 00:12:39,660
from a conservative journalist
tied to Trump
311
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,529
who read a statement from
the former president's office.
312
00:12:42,629 --> 00:12:45,299
He had a standing order
that documents removed
313
00:12:45,399 --> 00:12:47,701
from the Oval Office
and taken to the residence
314
00:12:47,801 --> 00:12:50,971
were deemed to be declassified
the moment he removed them.
315
00:12:51,104 --> 00:12:54,141
Oh, that's
an interesting excuse.
316
00:12:54,241 --> 00:12:56,210
Anything Trump took home
with him
317
00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:58,745
was automatically declassified
318
00:12:58,846 --> 00:13:01,248
because he had a standing order.
319
00:13:01,348 --> 00:13:04,384
It's also super convenient
that no one has ever heard
320
00:13:04,484 --> 00:13:06,386
about this rule
until he got busted
321
00:13:06,486 --> 00:13:08,188
for having top secret documents
at his house.
322
00:13:08,288 --> 00:13:09,623
But whatever.
323
00:13:09,723 --> 00:13:11,892
I've actually heard this defense
before. Yeah.
324
00:13:12,059 --> 00:13:14,661
Usually it's when people get
busted for having an affair.
325
00:13:14,761 --> 00:13:17,731
You know? They'll be like, "No,
actually, I didn't cheat on you.
326
00:13:17,831 --> 00:13:19,766
"I'd already broken up
with you in my mind
327
00:13:19,867 --> 00:13:21,101
"on the way to their house.
328
00:13:21,201 --> 00:13:22,503
"And then, on the way home,
329
00:13:22,603 --> 00:13:23,971
"I decided to give us
another chance. Come here, baby.
330
00:13:24,071 --> 00:13:25,572
"I forgive you. I forgive you.
331
00:13:25,672 --> 00:13:27,107
I forgive you."
332
00:13:27,207 --> 00:13:28,475
So there you have it.
333
00:13:28,575 --> 00:13:30,677
Three brand-new, fresh excuses.
334
00:13:30,777 --> 00:13:33,547
Oh, what? Oh, that's still
not enough for you?
335
00:13:33,647 --> 00:13:37,284
Oh, you're-you're particular.
Okay, I see you.
336
00:13:37,384 --> 00:13:40,087
Then maybe what you need
is a little bit of this.
337
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,588
NEWSWOMAN:
NBC has a piece out,
338
00:13:41,688 --> 00:13:43,490
quoting sources
that say the chaotic nature
339
00:13:43,590 --> 00:13:46,960
of Donald Trump's exit
from the White House contributed
340
00:13:47,094 --> 00:13:49,997
to sensitive documents
being taken to Mar-a-Lago.
341
00:13:50,097 --> 00:13:51,565
NEWSWOMAN 2:
Then there were reports
342
00:13:51,665 --> 00:13:53,700

"that he wouldn't be living
at the White House
346
00:13:59,706 --> 00:14:02,543
"for another four years,
he had a problem.
347
00:14:02,643 --> 00:14:05,846
He had barely packed
and had to move out quickly."
348
00:14:05,946 --> 00:14:08,048
(laughter)
349
00:14:09,049 --> 00:14:10,617
Oh, my God.
350
00:14:10,717 --> 00:14:12,753
Oh, this is
the greatest excuse of all time.
351
00:14:12,853 --> 00:14:14,621
Trump's people are saying,
because he didn't think
352
00:14:14,721 --> 00:14:16,123
he was leaving the White House,
353
00:14:16,223 --> 00:14:18,058
he packed in a hurry
when he left.
354
00:14:18,158 --> 00:14:20,060
Yeah. Yeah, he was so busy
planning the coup,
355
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,728
he didn't even think about
packing? Is that what happened?
356
00:14:21,828 --> 00:14:24,331
It's like, "Guys, I wasn't
trying to steal these documents.
357
00:14:24,431 --> 00:14:26,266
"I was trying
to steal the election!
358
00:14:26,366 --> 00:14:28,068
"Why would I pack when I thought
I'd have another ten
359
00:14:28,168 --> 00:14:29,369
"or 20 years in the White House?
360
00:14:29,469 --> 00:14:33,140
-It makes no sense! Hello?!"
-(laughter)
361
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,910
So, those are just a sample
of the excuses
362
00:14:37,077 --> 00:14:39,746
Trump has been coming up with
over the past few days.
363
00:14:39,847 --> 00:14:41,381
And it doesn't matter
that they conflict
364
00:14:41,481 --> 00:14:42,850
with each other.
That's not the point.
365
00:14:42,950 --> 00:14:46,920
The point is to flood the zone
with so many explanations
366
00:14:47,087 --> 00:14:48,755
that people just get lost
in all the arguments
367
00:14:48,856 --> 00:14:51,091
and lose interest. Yeah.
368
00:14:51,158 --> 00:14:53,093
A few days from now,
I wouldn't be shocked
369
00:14:53,126 --> 00:14:55,829
if they're like, "Donald Trump
was laminating those documents
370
00:14:55,929 --> 00:14:59,099
"to help preserve them as
a favor to the American people.
371
00:14:59,166 --> 00:15:01,435
"And also,
there were no documents.
372
00:15:01,535 --> 00:15:04,905
And also, it was his evil twin.
Mm-waw. Ha, ha, ha."
373
00:15:05,038 --> 00:15:07,040
We'll see what it is.
374
00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:08,475
All right,
that's it for the headlines,
375
00:15:08,575 --> 00:15:10,077
but before we go to a break,
it is time to check in
376
00:15:10,177 --> 00:15:11,411
on all the latest
social media trends
377
00:15:11,512 --> 00:15:14,047
with our very own
Ronny Chieng, everybody!
378
00:15:14,081 --> 00:15:16,216
-(applause and cheering)
-(retching)
379
00:15:16,316 --> 00:15:19,119
-(retching)
-Ronny Chieng!
380
00:15:19,219 --> 00:15:22,289
-(retching)
-Oh, man.
381
00:15:22,389 --> 00:15:25,192
-(coughing) Yeah. Sorry.
Trevor, sorry. -Good to see you.
382
00:15:25,292 --> 00:15:27,828
It's just that this social media
shit makes me puke.
383
00:15:27,928 --> 00:15:29,429
-All right.
-All right, let me just dive
384
00:15:29,530 --> 00:15:31,431
into this cesspool
of social media garbage.
385
00:15:31,532 --> 00:15:32,733
And what's trending today?
386
00:15:32,833 --> 00:15:36,670
Oh, it's
#NationalRelaxationDay.
387
00:15:36,770 --> 00:15:39,706
-On a Monday.
-(laughter)
388
00:15:39,806 --> 00:15:41,608
Yeah, I can't wait
to kick my feet up
389
00:15:41,708 --> 00:15:44,111
and go to work
for an entire week.
390
00:15:44,211 --> 00:15:46,613
And of course
this is trending on social media
391
00:15:46,713 --> 00:15:50,083
because what's more relaxing
than going on social media?
392
00:15:50,117 --> 00:15:52,953
Oh, wow. So many relaxing things
happening today.
393
00:15:53,086 --> 00:15:57,224
Wow. I mean, you've got a former
president leaking nuclear codes?
394
00:15:57,324 --> 00:16:00,127
I can feel the tension in
my shoulders just melting away
395
00:16:00,227 --> 00:16:03,197
-as we... talk about this.
-(laughter)
396
00:16:03,297 --> 00:16:04,798
Also, on that whole Trump thing,
397
00:16:04,898 --> 00:16:06,366
why would you take a bunch
of boxes
398
00:16:06,466 --> 00:16:08,836
you're not supposed to take when
you're leaving the White House?
399
00:16:08,936 --> 00:16:11,572
What kind of insane person
looks at moving day and goes,
400
00:16:11,672 --> 00:16:13,841
-"How do I make this
even longer?" -(laughter)
401
00:16:13,941 --> 00:16:16,243
I mean, I would throw my family
in the garbage
402
00:16:16,343 --> 00:16:18,912
if it made moving day easier,
all right?
403
00:16:19,046 --> 00:16:21,415
But, yeah, anyways, social media
in a nutshell, right?
404
00:16:21,515 --> 00:16:24,418
Because over here,
we got #NationalRelaxationDay.
405
00:16:24,518 --> 00:16:28,288
Meanwhile, Toyota's making cars
where the wheels fall off?
406
00:16:28,388 --> 00:16:32,392
Hey, Toyota, maybe you should
relax a little less, all right?
407
00:16:32,492 --> 00:16:35,963
Like, take a spa day,
but maybe not on the day
408
00:16:36,063 --> 00:16:38,065
you attach the wheels
to the car
409
00:16:38,131 --> 00:16:41,168
because that's kind of
a pretty important day.
410
00:16:41,268 --> 00:16:43,203
All right. You know what?
You know what?
411
00:16:43,303 --> 00:16:45,272
Let's just see
what random idiots
412
00:16:45,372 --> 00:16:49,076
on social media are saying
about #NationalRelaxatioDay.
413
00:16:49,142 --> 00:16:51,078
All right? I'm just gonna find
one of these random people
414
00:16:51,144 --> 00:16:54,081
and just see what... what people
are saying about this.
415
00:16:54,114 --> 00:16:56,617
All right, so,
this-this idiot here.
416
00:16:56,717 --> 00:16:58,619
-(laughter)
-Right?
417
00:16:58,719 --> 00:17:03,490
"Don't worry, be happy.
#NationalRelaxationDay."
418
00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:07,194
Uh, otter swimming on water.
419
00:17:07,294 --> 00:17:09,162
Clearly,
this person doesn't know
420
00:17:09,263 --> 00:17:11,498
what the (bleep) is going on
in the world right now.
421
00:17:11,598 --> 00:17:14,601
-(applause) -Yeah. -Otherwise,
he wouldn't be saying asinine
422
00:17:14,701 --> 00:17:18,305
shit like this.
423
00:17:18,405 --> 00:17:20,407
Another great tweet, Trevor.
424
00:17:20,507 --> 00:17:22,109
I can see why
you have so many followers.
425
00:17:22,209 --> 00:17:23,911
'Cause your tweets
just really make us think.
426
00:17:24,044 --> 00:17:25,679
No. You know what, Ronny? No.
You know what, Ronny?
427
00:17:25,779 --> 00:17:27,347
Enough of this, man!
Stop roasting my tweets!
428
00:17:27,447 --> 00:17:28,749
-You're always roasting
my tweets. -Hey, hey, hey, hey.
429
00:17:28,849 --> 00:17:32,152
Hey, hey, it's
National Relaxation Day, okay?
430
00:17:32,252 --> 00:17:33,820
Have some respect.
431
00:17:33,921 --> 00:17:37,124
-Oh! Ronny Chieng, everybody.
-(applause and cheering)
432
00:17:37,224 --> 00:17:39,626
I'll relax.
All right, when we come back,
433
00:17:39,726 --> 00:17:42,429
Ronny is going to figure out
what Space Force is all about
434
00:17:42,529 --> 00:17:44,064
so don't go away.
435
00:17:44,131 --> 00:17:46,166

Welcome back to The Daily Show.
438
00:18:00,087 --> 00:18:02,223
The U.S. government
is so big that it's easy
439
00:18:02,323 --> 00:18:05,059
to lose track of all
the departments and agencies.
440
00:18:05,159 --> 00:18:06,594
Luckily, though,
Ronny Chieng is here
441
00:18:06,694 --> 00:18:09,163
to figure out what
the government actually does.
442
00:18:09,263 --> 00:18:11,399

00:18:17,171 --> 00:18:20,041
after 30 years of planning,
finally sprung into existence
446
00:18:20,141 --> 00:18:23,110
thanks to the support
of our last military genius.
447
00:18:23,211 --> 00:18:26,881
We are going to have
the Space Force.
448
00:18:26,981 --> 00:18:29,217
But after a rocky launch,
most Americans
449
00:18:29,317 --> 00:18:33,154
still don't know
what Space Force actually does.
450
00:18:33,254 --> 00:18:34,555
Until now.

the sixth and coolest branch
of the U.S. military, does.
454

I'm talking spaceships, lasers--
it's the military in space.
455

(imitates weapons firing)
Let's go check it out.
456
00:18:54,375 --> 00:18:55,576
Don't ask me
how I got clearance.
457
00:18:55,743 --> 00:18:57,311
I'm not even
an American citizen.
458
00:18:57,411 --> 00:18:59,981
Somehow, I scored an interview
with the very first
459
00:19:00,081 --> 00:19:01,916
head of Space Force,
460
00:19:02,016 --> 00:19:04,519
four-star general Jay Raymond
461
00:19:04,619 --> 00:19:06,053
at the geometry-themed
headquarters
462
00:19:06,153 --> 00:19:08,422
of the U.S.
Department of Defense.
463
00:19:08,523 --> 00:19:11,792
Obviously, a space military
is cool as hell.
464
00:19:11,893 --> 00:19:14,562
But I wasn't sure
what they actually do.
465
00:19:14,662 --> 00:19:15,963
So I made sure to prepare
466
00:19:16,063 --> 00:19:19,901
for this exclusive
one-on-one interview.
467
00:19:20,001 --> 00:19:22,003
-General Raymond, thank you so
much for -Oh, thanks, Ronny.
468
00:19:22,103 --> 00:19:24,772
sitting in on this. Um, why
469
00:19:24,805 --> 00:19:27,308
is it called the Pentagon?
470
00:19:30,311 --> 00:19:32,346
Have you ever
seen a pentagon shape?
471
00:19:32,446 --> 00:19:34,482
-Wait, you're saying
pentagon's a shape? -Right.
472
00:19:34,582 --> 00:19:37,151
-Like what?
-Pentagon.
473
00:19:37,251 --> 00:19:39,187
Take a look at the building.
474
00:19:39,287 --> 00:19:40,454
You obviously
studied hard in school.
475
00:19:40,555 --> 00:19:43,591
Okay, General, Space Force--
we're talking
476
00:19:43,691 --> 00:19:45,459
lasers, spaceships, rockets,
477
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,062
-fighting aliens.
-Absolutely not.
478
00:19:48,162 --> 00:19:50,765
The mission of the Space Force
is really, uh,
479
00:19:50,865 --> 00:19:52,466
to protect and defend
the capabilities that we have
480
00:19:52,567 --> 00:19:55,970
in space and to deter conflict
from beginning in space
481
00:19:56,070 --> 00:19:57,638
or extending into space.
482
00:19:57,738 --> 00:20:00,208
-What does Space Force do?
-Let me give you an example.
483
00:20:00,308 --> 00:20:02,577
Uh, we operate for the world,
free of charge,
484
00:20:02,743 --> 00:20:06,314
the GPS constellation
that provides you navigation
485
00:20:06,414 --> 00:20:09,150
and provides the world a timing
signal for everybody to use.
486
00:20:09,250 --> 00:20:11,485
Most people don't know that
that's provided free of charge
487
00:20:11,586 --> 00:20:13,321
by the United States
Space Force.
488
00:20:13,421 --> 00:20:17,491
-Space Force gives GPS for
free to the world? -Yes, sir.
489
00:20:17,592 --> 00:20:18,826
Well, why don't you open
with that?
490
00:20:18,926 --> 00:20:20,361
Call yourselves the GPS Force.
491
00:20:20,461 --> 00:20:21,562
'Cause we do a lot more
than that.
492
00:20:21,662 --> 00:20:23,030
Yeah, but you go with the thing
493
00:20:23,130 --> 00:20:24,866
-that people know. -We do a--
we do a lot more than that.
494
00:20:24,966 --> 00:20:26,133
Communication satellites.
495
00:20:26,234 --> 00:20:27,869
We have
missile warning satellites
496
00:20:27,969 --> 00:20:30,371
that detect any kind of launch
around the globe
497
00:20:30,471 --> 00:20:31,906
and provide warning of that.
498
00:20:32,006 --> 00:20:34,075
And so it's very critical to us.
499
00:20:34,175 --> 00:20:36,310
And our competitors
or our adversaries
500
00:20:36,410 --> 00:20:38,012
have-have watched us
501
00:20:38,112 --> 00:20:41,482
and have seen us integrate space
into everything that we do.
502
00:20:41,582 --> 00:20:42,884
Who-who are our adversaries?
503
00:20:42,984 --> 00:20:44,385
Specifically Russia and China.
504
00:20:44,485 --> 00:20:46,654
They're building space
capabilities for their own use.
505
00:20:46,787 --> 00:20:48,689
So, for example,
they have a satellite
506
00:20:48,789 --> 00:20:50,358
that they launched in 2017--
507
00:20:50,458 --> 00:20:51,893
I call it
a nesting doll satellite--
508
00:20:51,993 --> 00:20:54,996
it's a satellite that opens up
and another satellite comes out
509
00:20:55,096 --> 00:20:57,832
-and it opens up and
a projectile comes out. -Uh-huh.
510
00:20:57,932 --> 00:20:59,634
-Oh, my God.
-Designed to kill a satellite.
511
00:20:59,734 --> 00:21:04,305
Do all these nations' satellites
adopt their countries' cultures?
512
00:21:04,405 --> 00:21:05,973
Like, does the Chinese satellite
come out
513
00:21:06,073 --> 00:21:07,241
and chopsticks come out
and, like,
514
00:21:07,341 --> 00:21:08,509
pick on the other satellite?
515
00:21:08,609 --> 00:21:10,878
China has a satellite
that has a robotic arm.
516
00:21:10,978 --> 00:21:13,414
-With chopsticks on it? -A
robotic arm that can reach out
517
00:21:13,514 --> 00:21:15,016
and, in the future,
grab another satellite.
518
00:21:15,116 --> 00:21:16,317
And satellites don't like
to be grabbed.
519
00:21:16,417 --> 00:21:17,885
What is the plan to stop that?
520
00:21:17,985 --> 00:21:19,787
I won't go into all the details
of what we can do,
521
00:21:19,887 --> 00:21:21,622
but let's just say
I'm very comfortable
522
00:21:21,756 --> 00:21:23,524
that we can protect
and defend our satellites.
523
00:21:23,624 --> 00:21:25,760
-♪ ♪
-CHIENG: That's ominous as hell.
524
00:21:25,793 --> 00:21:27,228
But I still wasn't sure
525
00:21:27,328 --> 00:21:29,964
why America's
already bloated military
526
00:21:30,064 --> 00:21:32,333
needed a whole new military
527
00:21:32,433 --> 00:21:35,136
when we already have
five other militaries.
528
00:21:35,236 --> 00:21:36,571
General, why did Space Force
529
00:21:36,671 --> 00:21:38,072
become its own branch
of the military?
530
00:21:38,172 --> 00:21:41,642
The Air Force has a lot of
responsibilities that it does.
531
00:21:41,776 --> 00:21:43,778
-Mm. -It's primarily focused
on the air domain.
532
00:21:43,811 --> 00:21:47,048
And the thought was, because
space was so critical to us,
533
00:21:47,148 --> 00:21:48,983
um, we had to stand up
a separate service
534
00:21:49,083 --> 00:21:50,117
to be able to focus on it.
535
00:21:50,218 --> 00:21:51,519
So, atmosphere-wise,
536
00:21:51,619 --> 00:21:54,722
where does the Air Force end
and Space Force begin?
537
00:21:54,755 --> 00:21:57,925
There's really not a-a firm,
you know...
538
00:21:58,025 --> 00:21:59,961
-dedicated, recognized...
-Clouds.
539
00:22:00,061 --> 00:22:01,395
But what we--
what-what happens is...
540
00:22:01,495 --> 00:22:04,732
Above clouds, Space Force.
Below clouds, Air Force.
541
00:22:04,765 --> 00:22:07,969
You can think of it
above where airplanes work,
542
00:22:08,069 --> 00:22:11,138
wings work, and where
orbital dynamics takes over--
543
00:22:11,239 --> 00:22:13,007
roughly about 100 kilometers.
544
00:22:13,107 --> 00:22:15,476
So, above 100 kilometers,
545
00:22:15,576 --> 00:22:17,645
that's where
the Space Force people are?
546
00:22:17,745 --> 00:22:19,380
No. Uh, in fact,
547
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,582
our force is, uh...
is on the ground.
548
00:22:21,749 --> 00:22:24,085
So they come in every day
and sit behind a computer?
549
00:22:24,185 --> 00:22:27,054
Largely, a lot of their work
is done i-- behind computers.
550
00:22:27,154 --> 00:22:29,624
-Mm. -Uh, in-in terminals,
operating capabilities,
551
00:22:29,757 --> 00:22:33,761
or on-- in optical telescopes
looking out in-in space.
552
00:22:33,828 --> 00:22:36,330
CHIENG: So Space Force
is less Starship Troopers
553
00:22:36,430 --> 00:22:37,765
and more Office Space.
554
00:22:37,798 --> 00:22:40,902
But are these keyboard warriors
even ready to protect us
555
00:22:41,002 --> 00:22:43,671
from the real threat
facing mankind?
556
00:22:43,771 --> 00:22:48,175
Have you considered maybe...
looking a little outwards
557
00:22:48,276 --> 00:22:51,379
and looking at the threats
that are external
558
00:22:51,479 --> 00:22:52,914
that might be coming to Earth?
559
00:22:53,014 --> 00:22:55,816
For example,
560
00:22:55,917 --> 00:22:58,119
aliens that might be coming?
561
00:22:58,219 --> 00:23:00,955
So again, our mission is
a little bit closer to home.
562
00:23:01,055 --> 00:23:04,058
NASA's mission is more
exploratory and more science,
563
00:23:04,158 --> 00:23:05,860
and so,
they have gone out and...
564
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,195
I-I get it, General.
565
00:23:07,295 --> 00:23:10,565
Space Force, GPS,
NASA, nerd shit.
566
00:23:10,731 --> 00:23:12,967
But we need some dudes
567
00:23:13,067 --> 00:23:16,237
who look as scary as you
with guns
568
00:23:16,337 --> 00:23:19,040
pointing outwards
in case aliens come.
569
00:23:19,140 --> 00:23:22,043
I'm not naive
or-or... or closed-minded
570
00:23:22,143 --> 00:23:24,278
to think that, uh,
there might be something
571
00:23:24,378 --> 00:23:27,148
that would be out there,
but we're not focused on aliens.
572
00:23:27,248 --> 00:23:30,084
All right, well, it just seems
like it's a big hole
573
00:23:30,184 --> 00:23:32,353
in the national defense...
(clears throat) plan.
574
00:23:32,453 --> 00:23:34,288
And if no one's going
to plug that hole,
575
00:23:34,388 --> 00:23:36,290
I just feel like maybe
Space Force would step up,
576
00:23:36,390 --> 00:23:38,626
and, you know, maybe provide
some orbital defense
577
00:23:38,759 --> 00:23:40,828
against aliens.
578
00:23:40,928 --> 00:23:42,129
Thanks for your advice.
579
00:23:42,230 --> 00:23:43,631
Okay, well, General, uh,
580
00:23:43,764 --> 00:23:45,933
thank you for taking the time
to speak to me,
581
00:23:46,033 --> 00:23:49,136
even though Space Force
has nothing do with lasers
582
00:23:49,237 --> 00:23:51,839
or aliens and spaceships,
and I wish it was cooler.
583
00:23:51,939 --> 00:23:56,510
I do appreciate the need
for a GPS system that works.
584
00:23:56,611 --> 00:23:57,845
Thank you for the opportunity.
585
00:23:57,945 --> 00:23:59,914
I couldn't be more proud
of the guardians,
586
00:24:00,014 --> 00:24:01,883
and I appreciate the opportunity
to tell their story.
587
00:24:01,983 --> 00:24:04,519
Because most Americans
don't understand what they do.
588
00:24:04,619 --> 00:24:05,786
I agree.
589
00:24:05,887 --> 00:24:09,724
So even though
I'm still not sure what it does,
590
00:24:09,824 --> 00:24:12,393
Space Force represents
what the American government
591
00:24:12,493 --> 00:24:15,763
does best-- find new ways
to give billions of dollars
592
00:24:15,863 --> 00:24:17,865
to the military-industrial
complex.
593
00:24:17,965 --> 00:24:21,269
But, hey, if they're going
to offer free GPS, than I say,
594
00:24:21,369 --> 00:24:26,173
"Live long and prosper,
Space Force."
595
00:24:26,274 --> 00:24:27,742
Thank you so much for that,
Ronny Chieng.
596
00:24:27,808 --> 00:24:29,277
All right, stay tuned
because when we come back,
597
00:24:29,377 --> 00:24:31,345
Alex Wagner will be joining me

You might hold the record.

-Congratulations. Yeah? -I feel
very positive about that.
612

I actually got you a monkeypox
vaccine as a gift. Uh...
613
00:25:26,867 --> 00:25:28,636
I want my photo in the hallway.

have the photo of us,
and it's in my office.

a beautiful framed picture.

-This is a really exciting time
626

for everybody, because, um,
your show kicks off tomorrow.
627
00:25:59,700 --> 00:26:02,236
-Yes. -Right? I love-- Your-your
Instagram bio reads, um,
628
00:26:02,336 --> 00:26:05,506
"Anchor at MSNBC plus person
worried about the future."
629
00:26:05,606 --> 00:26:06,841
But don't you think that
sounds a little melodramatic?
630
00:26:06,941 --> 00:26:08,209
What do you have
to worry about the future?
631
00:26:08,309 --> 00:26:09,477
-What, like, the droughts?
-What could go wrong?
632
00:26:09,577 --> 00:26:11,212
-What, the climate change?
-Arctic ice caps
633
00:26:11,312 --> 00:26:12,713
melting faster than expected,
634
00:26:12,746 --> 00:26:14,949
president shuffling off
classified nuclear secrets
635
00:26:15,049 --> 00:26:17,284
-to a Palm Beach resort,
-What are you worried about?
636
00:26:17,384 --> 00:26:19,153
you know, Republican election
deniers being elected
637
00:26:19,253 --> 00:26:21,555
across the country--
what could go wrong?
638
00:26:21,722 --> 00:26:23,057
What are you worried--
But, you re-- you know,
639
00:26:23,157 --> 00:26:24,892
because you travel so much
and because you've
640
00:26:24,992 --> 00:26:26,193
talked to so many
people on the ground,
641
00:26:26,293 --> 00:26:28,028
I've always felt like
I should listen to you
642
00:26:28,129 --> 00:26:30,231
when you're worried,
'cause you talk to, like,
643
00:26:30,331 --> 00:26:32,266
-America.
-Yeah. Yeah.
644
00:26:32,366 --> 00:26:33,634
-What's the biggest of your
worries? -I-I do, and I will
645
00:26:33,734 --> 00:26:35,469
say, on this show I'm gonna
keep talking to America.
646
00:26:35,569 --> 00:26:36,904
I just went down to Florida.
647
00:26:37,004 --> 00:26:39,940
Um, which is a place
I vow never to return to
648
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,776
each time I go, and yet I keep
going down to Florida.
649
00:26:42,877 --> 00:26:44,278
-That's what makes it great.
-Exactly.
650
00:26:44,378 --> 00:26:47,114
It was 107 degre--
107 degrees down there,
651
00:26:47,214 --> 00:26:50,584
-and what Governor DeSantis
is doing in that state -Uh-huh.
652
00:26:50,684 --> 00:26:53,053
is worthy of
a very close examination.
653
00:26:53,154 --> 00:26:55,422
So, we went down there and
looked specifically
654
00:26:55,523 --> 00:26:58,092
at the ways in which,
uh, Christian nationalism
655
00:26:58,192 --> 00:27:00,494
has worked its way into
Florida public schools,
656
00:27:00,594 --> 00:27:02,062
and we're gonna be talking
about that this week
657
00:27:02,163 --> 00:27:05,032
and some of the very alarming
things that teachers
658
00:27:05,132 --> 00:27:08,235
-are being trained to teach
public school students on. -Wow.
659
00:27:08,335 --> 00:27:11,839
Um, you know, I-I will say
you should be worried, Trevor.
660
00:27:11,939 --> 00:27:14,441
Because, um, not just this
happening in Florida,
661
00:27:14,542 --> 00:27:16,310
but this is very much
seen as a model
662
00:27:16,410 --> 00:27:18,412
for what's happening
across the rest of the country.
663
00:27:18,512 --> 00:27:20,347
-Ron DeSantis may be
the Republican nominee -Yes.
664
00:27:20,447 --> 00:27:21,882
for president in 2024.
665
00:27:21,982 --> 00:27:24,385
Which, people think of as,
like, a good thing,
666
00:27:24,485 --> 00:27:26,153
because they go, like,
"Oh, he's calm, you know,
667
00:27:26,253 --> 00:27:27,855
he has a demeanor about him."
Trump is crazy,
668
00:27:27,955 --> 00:27:29,356
but it seems like Trump's
crazy was also the reason
669
00:27:29,457 --> 00:27:31,258
-he couldn't get things done.
-Yes.
670
00:27:31,358 --> 00:27:32,993
Ron DeSantis,
everyone says, he's like,
671
00:27:33,093 --> 00:27:36,163
"Oh, he's-he's got all his
cards. He's ready to play them."
672
00:27:36,263 --> 00:27:39,200
And he has a network
of conservative activists
673
00:27:39,300 --> 00:27:42,470
and donors and power players
in his corner.
674
00:27:42,570 --> 00:27:44,672
I mean, this is the result.
This is the harvest
675
00:27:44,705 --> 00:27:47,208
of multiple years
of trying to figure out
676
00:27:47,308 --> 00:27:49,743
how to re-indoctrinate students
into a certain line
677
00:27:49,844 --> 00:27:50,978
of conservative ideology.
678
00:27:51,078 --> 00:27:53,013
And DeSantis has made it happen,
679
00:27:53,113 --> 00:27:55,349
but he has a lot of people
behind him.
680
00:27:55,449 --> 00:27:56,817
And there are other governors--
681
00:27:56,917 --> 00:28:00,187
Kari Lake in Arizona is the
Republican nominee in Arizona,
682
00:28:00,287 --> 00:28:02,923
and she was on the stump--
I think it was yesterday--
683
00:28:03,023 --> 00:28:04,925
praising DeSantis and saying--
684
00:28:05,025 --> 00:28:06,861
-am I allowed to say this
on this family program? -Yeah.
685
00:28:06,961 --> 00:28:08,562
...that he had
"big dick en-energy,"
686
00:28:08,696 --> 00:28:10,264
-just like Donald Trump.
-Oh.
687
00:28:10,364 --> 00:28:12,133
Like, not even kidding.
She said,
688
00:28:12,233 --> 00:28:14,435
"BDE. If you know, you know.
689
00:28:14,535 --> 00:28:16,704
Big DeSantis energy."
690
00:28:16,804 --> 00:28:18,873
But really saying
that what we needed
691
00:28:18,973 --> 00:28:20,608
was more big dick energy,
692
00:28:20,708 --> 00:28:22,710
the kind that Ron DeSantis
and Donald Trump have.
693
00:28:22,810 --> 00:28:25,179
-Huh. -So that's where we are
as a country, Trevor,
694
00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:27,448
and I'm here to tell you
I'm alarmed.
695
00:28:27,548 --> 00:28:30,885
You-you are gonna be the person
who is informing so many people
696
00:28:30,985 --> 00:28:32,353
about what's going on
in the country.
697
00:28:32,453 --> 00:28:35,756
You know, as-as an anchor
on a show like yours,
698
00:28:35,856 --> 00:28:37,191
you're in an interesting
position, because,
699
00:28:37,291 --> 00:28:38,559
on the one hand,
700
00:28:38,726 --> 00:28:41,195
you want people to understand
the state of the country.
701
00:28:41,295 --> 00:28:42,496
On the other hand,
you don't want people
702
00:28:42,663 --> 00:28:43,898
-to exist in a perpetual state
of panic. -Yeah.
703
00:28:43,998 --> 00:28:45,966
Because then what happens is
people start getting tired
704
00:28:46,066 --> 00:28:47,468
and they're like,
"I-I don't care anymore.
705
00:28:47,568 --> 00:28:49,003
Nothing is actually happening."
706
00:28:49,103 --> 00:28:50,671
H-How do you find that balance?
707
00:28:50,704 --> 00:28:52,339
Well, I think...
708
00:28:52,439 --> 00:28:54,308
You know, I don't want to be
Pollyannaish about things.
709
00:28:54,408 --> 00:28:57,311
Right? When things are bad,
I'm gonna tell you they're bad.
710
00:28:57,411 --> 00:28:59,980
-Mm-hmm. -But I also think we-we
haven't given up on democracy.
711
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,849
And the reality is,
if you don't like
712
00:29:01,949 --> 00:29:03,784
what Governor Ron DeSantis
is doing-- I mean,
713
00:29:03,884 --> 00:29:06,687
I spent ten hours in a Brevard
County school board meeting--
714
00:29:06,754 --> 00:29:08,022
you can run for school board
715
00:29:08,122 --> 00:29:09,757
and stop some of this stuff
from happening.
716
00:29:09,857 --> 00:29:11,926
You can participate
in midterm elections.
717
00:29:12,026 --> 00:29:13,794
You can call your senators
and congressmen.
718
00:29:13,894 --> 00:29:16,397
I mean, that stuff,
as cliché as it sounds,
719
00:29:16,497 --> 00:29:18,833
-as small ball as it sounds,
it matters. -Right. Right.
720
00:29:18,933 --> 00:29:21,168
Because the decision that
the Brevard County school board
721
00:29:21,268 --> 00:29:23,704
makes about whether or not kids
can have book fairs again...
722
00:29:23,737 --> 00:29:25,172
-Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
-...and read certain books
723
00:29:25,272 --> 00:29:28,142
and talk about being homosexual
or transgender,
724
00:29:28,242 --> 00:29:30,077
that means something.
725
00:29:30,177 --> 00:29:31,846
And those decisions
are discreet,
726
00:29:31,946 --> 00:29:35,149
but they are part of
our larger system of governance.
727
00:29:35,249 --> 00:29:38,152
And I don't want people
to ever lose the hope
728
00:29:38,252 --> 00:29:40,988
that the project of America
is a fait accompli
729
00:29:41,088 --> 00:29:42,523
and i-it's a wrap,
because it's not.
730
00:29:42,656 --> 00:29:45,493
I mean, and-and you can swing
the pendulum back.
731
00:29:45,659 --> 00:29:46,927
I still believe
732
00:29:47,027 --> 00:29:49,730
that we generally take
two steps forward
733
00:29:49,830 --> 00:29:52,266
and maybe one-and-three-quarter
steps back.
734
00:29:52,366 --> 00:29:54,201
Oh, that's a lot of-- One and--
That's a lot of steps back.
735
00:29:54,301 --> 00:29:56,370
But I h-- I-I'm-- I mean, I ho--
736
00:29:56,470 --> 00:29:58,105
Look at-- look at you and me,
Trevor.
737
00:29:58,205 --> 00:30:00,174
You know, I'm hosting
the 9:00 p.m. hour
738
00:30:00,274 --> 00:30:02,710
-of-of a very important
cable network. -Yes.
739
00:30:02,810 --> 00:30:04,578
You are the voice
of a generation.
740
00:30:04,678 --> 00:30:06,013
Our stories are unlikely.
741
00:30:06,113 --> 00:30:08,015
We're two brown people
that weren't ever supposed
742
00:30:08,115 --> 00:30:09,683
to be in these positions
of power.
743
00:30:09,783 --> 00:30:11,886
-And look at us, you know?
And-and that's... -That is true.
744
00:30:11,986 --> 00:30:13,554
-That is true. That's wonderful,
but, like... -(cheering)
745
00:30:13,687 --> 00:30:15,790
It's-it's true.
746
00:30:15,890 --> 00:30:17,691
Sometimes I go...
747
00:30:17,725 --> 00:30:19,760
Th-The fact
that it is the exception
748
00:30:19,860 --> 00:30:21,562
-is what makes it scary
a little bit sometimes. -Sure.
749
00:30:21,695 --> 00:30:23,063
And so what-what's interesting
about America
750
00:30:23,164 --> 00:30:24,799
when-when you look at it
as a whole is
751
00:30:24,899 --> 00:30:27,902
it feels like, sometimes-- like
in the run-up to Donald Trump--
752
00:30:28,002 --> 00:30:31,172
it feels like the country knew
this was happening.
753
00:30:31,272 --> 00:30:32,940
And then people on the coasts
were like,
754
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,209
"Oh, that'll never happen.
Trump could never ha..."
755
00:30:35,309 --> 00:30:38,212
It feels like there's a certain
complacency now as people relax.
756
00:30:38,312 --> 00:30:39,713
You know?
They want to watch Succession.
757
00:30:39,747 --> 00:30:40,948
-Well... -They want to read
what's happening, you know?
758
00:30:41,048 --> 00:30:42,216
I mean, I want
to watch Succession, too.
759
00:30:42,316 --> 00:30:43,651
Yeah. No.
But people enjoy themselves.
760
00:30:43,751 --> 00:30:45,553
But it seems like
conservatives are being told
761
00:30:45,653 --> 00:30:47,955
constantly
that they are under assault,
762
00:30:48,055 --> 00:30:49,490
that this is the end
of the world,
763
00:30:49,657 --> 00:30:50,858
they need to run
for school boards.
764
00:30:50,958 --> 00:30:52,193
And so, they believe it,
and they do it.
765
00:30:52,293 --> 00:30:53,527
And so, I'd love to know,
as somebody
766
00:30:53,661 --> 00:30:55,296
-who's gonna be on MSNBC...
-Mm-hmm.
767
00:30:55,396 --> 00:30:57,465
You're are in a position
where you have part
768
00:30:57,565 --> 00:30:59,400
of your audience
which is in a bubble.
769
00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:01,502
Many of us do, you know?
How do you...?
770
00:31:01,669 --> 00:31:03,871
Or do you even think
it's possible at this stage
771
00:31:03,971 --> 00:31:05,439
to just pop out
of that bubble?
772
00:31:05,539 --> 00:31:08,108
Is there a way
you can see, as Alex Wagner,
773
00:31:08,209 --> 00:31:10,010
as the journalist
who's gone around the country
774
00:31:10,110 --> 00:31:12,012
talking to Trump supporters
and, you know,
775
00:31:12,112 --> 00:31:14,515
Biden supporters alike,
do you think there's a way
776
00:31:14,682 --> 00:31:17,017
you can get through to people
who maybe don't agree with you?
777
00:31:17,117 --> 00:31:19,019
I'm gonna damn well try. I mean,
778
00:31:19,119 --> 00:31:22,857
-you can't just say we're
only... -(applause and cheering)
779
00:31:22,957 --> 00:31:25,993
...we're only going
to talk to, like, liberals...
780
00:31:26,093 --> 00:31:28,095
-Right, right, right. -...and
this for the Acela Corridor.
781
00:31:28,195 --> 00:31:30,364
You know? Like, this is...
782
00:31:30,464 --> 00:31:32,066
I'm a journalist.
783
00:31:32,166 --> 00:31:34,835
And you are going to hear
from some Republicans sometimes.
784
00:31:34,935 --> 00:31:36,704
-Mm-hmm. -Sometimes they may be
critical of Donald Trump.
785
00:31:36,737 --> 00:31:38,439
Sometimes, they may not be.
786
00:31:38,539 --> 00:31:40,741
But I think it is my job
to show people
787
00:31:40,841 --> 00:31:42,009
what's happening in the world
788
00:31:42,109 --> 00:31:43,844
and not just
what they want to see.
789
00:31:43,944 --> 00:31:46,714
I mean, listen, the future
of the Republican Party matters
790
00:31:46,814 --> 00:31:49,850
not just to Republicans, but to
Democrats and Independents, too.
791
00:31:49,950 --> 00:31:52,153
-Interesting. -If one of
the two parties in this country
792
00:31:52,253 --> 00:31:56,690
is forever broken
or populated by clowns or worse,
793
00:31:56,791 --> 00:31:59,026
like, we're not going to get
anything done as a country.
794
00:31:59,126 --> 00:32:01,362
-Yeah. -We are, for better
or worse, in a marriage,
795
00:32:01,462 --> 00:32:04,198
and we got to figure out a way
to make it work
796
00:32:04,298 --> 00:32:06,333
because we know
what divorce kind of looks like.
797
00:32:06,433 --> 00:32:08,836
We tried it in 1860, and,
798
00:32:08,936 --> 00:32:10,171
-like, we can't...
-It did not go well.
799
00:32:10,271 --> 00:32:11,505
It didn't go so well, so...
800
00:32:11,672 --> 00:32:12,907
So your first episode
is tomorrow?
801
00:32:13,007 --> 00:32:14,675
-It is tomorrow. -If you were
on the show today...
802
00:32:14,742 --> 00:32:16,010
Don't give anything away,
803
00:32:16,110 --> 00:32:17,511
'cause you obviously will tease
and everything.
804
00:32:17,678 --> 00:32:19,046
But if you were on the show
today, what would you..?
805
00:32:19,146 --> 00:32:20,681
What would be the number one
story you'd be talking about?
806
00:32:20,748 --> 00:32:22,249
Well, listen, I think for sure
807
00:32:22,349 --> 00:32:23,918
-we're gonna be talking about
Trump and Mar-a-Lago... -Yes.
808
00:32:24,018 --> 00:32:26,253
...and what exactly
he was doing with those papers.
809
00:32:26,353 --> 00:32:28,122
-Uh-huh. -And the degree
to which this is part
810
00:32:28,222 --> 00:32:29,990
of a very serious investigation
at the DOJ.
811
00:32:30,090 --> 00:32:32,726
But I don't think...
I mean, I... The other thing
812
00:32:32,827 --> 00:32:34,595
that I want everyone
to focus on is the fact
813
00:32:34,695 --> 00:32:37,998
that we have two significant
primaries tomorrow happening.
814
00:32:38,098 --> 00:32:40,134
-Mm-hmm.
-Liz Cheney and Sarah Palin.
815
00:32:40,234 --> 00:32:43,103
And what we very well could see
this week is the exit
816
00:32:43,204 --> 00:32:44,939
of Liz Cheney,
probably the standard-bearer
817
00:32:45,039 --> 00:32:48,342
for integrity inside the GOP,
be escorted off the stage,
818
00:32:48,442 --> 00:32:50,678
stage right,
and for Sarah Palin,
819
00:32:50,778 --> 00:32:52,713
who in many ways
is the proto-Trump,
820
00:32:52,813 --> 00:32:54,648
reentering American politics
821
00:32:54,682 --> 00:32:56,951
-as a Republican congresswoman
from Alaska. -Oh, boy.
822
00:32:57,051 --> 00:32:59,653
And I think as we take stock
of where the country is at,
823
00:32:59,687 --> 00:33:02,223
we need to take stock of where
the Republican Party is at.
824
00:33:02,323 --> 00:33:03,991
And those two entrances and...
825
00:33:04,091 --> 00:33:06,660
That entrance and exit
tell us a lot
826
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,563
about where
we're headed in the GOP.
827
00:33:09,663 --> 00:33:11,565
And I think
it's deeply problematic,
828
00:33:11,665 --> 00:33:14,001
and I think it warrants further
investigation and analysis.
829
00:33:14,101 --> 00:33:16,003
This is why you're the best
person to host the show
830
00:33:16,103 --> 00:33:17,805
because you know a lot,
you travel a lot,
831
00:33:17,905 --> 00:33:19,507
you meet the people, um,
and you don't...
832
00:33:19,673 --> 00:33:21,675
-I hang out with you.
-You don't get overwhelmed.
833
00:33:21,709 --> 00:33:22,977
No, you don't get...
Thanks for that.
834
00:33:23,077 --> 00:33:24,411
I'll take it, but no.
835
00:33:24,512 --> 00:33:25,813
You don't get overwhelmed.
836
00:33:25,913 --> 00:33:27,348
Really, one thing
I've always admired about you is
837
00:33:27,448 --> 00:33:29,750
the fact that you don't get
overwhelmed by the deluge
838
00:33:29,850 --> 00:33:31,252
of information
that's coming at you.
839
00:33:31,352 --> 00:33:33,320
Rather, you find a way
to process all of it
840
00:33:33,420 --> 00:33:35,823
in one of the most fantastic
ways that I've ever seen.
841
00:33:35,923 --> 00:33:37,525
-Congratulations on the show.
-Thank you, my friend.
842
00:33:37,691 --> 00:33:39,527
-Thank you for joining me again.
-Thank you.
843
00:33:39,693 --> 00:33:40,928
We're all going to be watching.
844
00:33:41,028 --> 00:33:42,296
Everybody, don't forget.
845
00:33:42,396 --> 00:33:43,731
Tuesday to Friday, 9:00 p.m.,
Alex Wagner.
846
00:33:43,831 --> 00:33:45,266
We're gonna take a quick break,
847
00:33:45,366 --> 00:33:47,635
but we'll be right back
after this.
848
00:33:47,735 --> 00:33:49,203
For real.

Well, that's our show
for tonight, but before we go,
852
00:33:58,746 --> 00:34:00,881
before we go,
I wanted to remind you
853
00:34:00,982 --> 00:34:04,485
that August 16 is
Poll Worker Recruitment Day.
854
00:34:04,585 --> 00:34:06,687
And it's especially important
this year
855
00:34:06,787 --> 00:34:09,357
where poll worker shortages
are already leading
856
00:34:09,457 --> 00:34:10,891
to closures and long lines.
857
00:34:10,992 --> 00:34:13,728
So if you would like
to be a poll worker,
858
00:34:13,828 --> 00:34:16,297
sign up at the link below,
and you can do your part
859
00:34:16,397 --> 00:34:18,366
to ensure a fair election
for all voters.
860
00:34:18,466 --> 00:34:21,302
Until next time, stay safe
out there and remember.
861
00:34:21,402 --> 00:34:23,337
If you find
top secret documents,
862
00:34:23,437 --> 00:34:27,074
give them back
to the government.
863
00:34:27,174 --> 00:34:28,843
But make sure you screen shot
that shit first.
864
00:34:28,943 --> 00:34:31,479
Now here it is--
Your Moment of Zen.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford

00:34:38,486 --> 00:34:41,122

an announcement today,
