the game of chess

Yeah, I'm sorry.
I-I tried everything.

00:01:22,282 --> 00:01:23,717
I even went to a junkyard

All right, let's kick things off
with one of the most amazing
38
00:01:45,873 --> 00:01:49,376
and positive stories
involving a billionaire.
39
00:01:49,476 --> 00:01:51,512
You know how most billionaires
only seem to want
40
00:01:51,612 --> 00:01:53,514
to get more and more
and more billions
41
00:01:53,614 --> 00:01:55,215
so that, I guess,
they can afford the new iPhone?
42
00:01:55,315 --> 00:01:56,783
Well, it turns out
43
00:01:56,884 --> 00:01:59,887
not every super-rich person
thinks like that.
44
00:02:00,053 --> 00:02:02,723
In an extraordinary act
of charity,
45
00:02:02,823 --> 00:02:06,059
the founder of the outdoor gear
and clothing brand Patagonia
46
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:10,364
has given away
his $3 billion company.
47
00:02:10,464 --> 00:02:12,199
Ownership has now
been transferred
48
00:02:12,299 --> 00:02:13,901
to a specially-created trust
that is going
49
00:02:14,067 --> 00:02:16,937
to use any profits
not reinvested in the business
50
00:02:17,070 --> 00:02:18,939
to fight climate change.
51
00:02:19,072 --> 00:02:23,143
That's expected to be
roughly $100 million a year.
52
00:02:23,243 --> 00:02:25,179
83-year-old Yvon Chouinard,
53
00:02:25,279 --> 00:02:28,081
who started Patagonia roughly
a half century ago said,
54
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:31,952
"We are making Earth
our only shareholder."
55
00:02:32,085 --> 00:02:33,820
Wow!
56
00:02:33,921 --> 00:02:36,957
The founder of Patagonia
decided being a billionaire
57
00:02:37,090 --> 00:02:38,859
was too much balling
for any one person
58
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:42,496
and so he's decided
to give all the money away.
59
00:02:42,596 --> 00:02:44,631
(cheers and applause)
60
00:02:46,767 --> 00:02:48,468
Which...
61
00:02:48,569 --> 00:02:49,937
which, when you think about it,
62
00:02:50,103 --> 00:02:52,105
is actually the most baller
move of all time, huh?
63
00:02:52,139 --> 00:02:53,640
Yeah, because who is more
of a baller:
64
00:02:53,740 --> 00:02:54,975
the person who has
a billion dollars
65
00:02:55,108 --> 00:02:56,476
or the person who literally
66
00:02:56,577 --> 00:02:58,345
uses their billion dollars
to make it rain?
67
00:02:58,445 --> 00:02:59,580
That's what he's doing.
68
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:00,814
'Cause the earth
is going through a drought.
69
00:03:00,914 --> 00:03:01,815
He saw it happening
in California.
70
00:03:01,915 --> 00:03:02,950
He's like,
I'm gonna make it rain.
71
00:03:03,050 --> 00:03:04,117
And who would've thought
that a billionaire
72
00:03:04,218 --> 00:03:05,953
could give away his money
to help the planet
73
00:03:06,053 --> 00:03:07,588
instead of trying to escape it
in a penis rocket.
74
00:03:07,688 --> 00:03:09,223
I didn't even know
that was possible.
75
00:03:09,323 --> 00:03:11,124
I didn't know
but apparently you can.
76
00:03:11,225 --> 00:03:13,360
And if I'm the earth,
this is great news for me.
77
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:14,962
'Cause I mean, yeah,
pollution is killing me
78
00:03:15,062 --> 00:03:17,364
but now I'm rich enough
to stunt on other planets?
79
00:03:17,464 --> 00:03:18,932
"Where's your private jet,
Pluto?
80
00:03:19,066 --> 00:03:20,634
"Are you even a planet anymore?
81
00:03:20,734 --> 00:03:23,637
Bam, bitch."
82
00:03:23,737 --> 00:03:25,539
I will say it's going to be
a little bit awkward
83
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,641
for Yvon Chouinard's kids
when they try and explain
84
00:03:27,741 --> 00:03:29,910
why they didn't inherit
their dad's billions.
85
00:03:30,077 --> 00:03:32,946
You know, it's like, "So did
your father give you the money?"
86
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,115
It's like, "No, he gave it
to a polar bear."
87
00:03:35,215 --> 00:03:36,383
(laughter)
88
00:03:36,483 --> 00:03:38,085
It's like,
"Damn, you probably suck."
89
00:03:38,185 --> 00:03:40,387
Now, if we had more time,
we could talk about
90
00:03:40,487 --> 00:03:42,222
how the founder of Patagonia
is showing us
91
00:03:42,322 --> 00:03:45,092
that you can still be super rich
and not be a billionaire.
92
00:03:45,158 --> 00:03:46,660
And he's showing
that hypercapitalism
93
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,262
isn't the only way
a business can run.
94
00:03:48,362 --> 00:03:50,264
And it can still be successful
and it can still make money
95
00:03:50,364 --> 00:03:52,399
and it can contribute
as much as it gets.
96
00:03:52,499 --> 00:03:53,901
But we don't have the time
to talk about all of that
97
00:03:54,001 --> 00:03:55,335
because while the owner
of Patagonia
98
00:03:55,435 --> 00:03:57,604
is trying to be
the earth's biggest advocate,
99
00:03:57,704 --> 00:03:58,939
Florida's governor,
Ron DeSantis,
100
00:03:59,106 --> 00:04:01,441
is trying to be
the earth's biggest dick.
101
00:04:01,542 --> 00:04:03,143
Now to that dramatic
and controversial twist
102
00:04:03,243 --> 00:04:04,878
in the battle over immigration
overnight.
103
00:04:05,045 --> 00:04:07,080
The governor of Florida
taking credit
104
00:04:07,181 --> 00:04:10,784
for sending at least two planes
filled with migrants
105
00:04:10,884 --> 00:04:13,820
to the wealthy Massachusetts
island of Martha's Vineyard.
106
00:04:13,921 --> 00:04:16,323
MAN: The planes carried
50 migrants from Venezuela.
107
00:04:16,423 --> 00:04:18,759
The island community was given
no heads-up about it.
108
00:04:18,859 --> 00:04:21,828
All they did was see some planes
and a bunch of people come off.
109
00:04:21,929 --> 00:04:24,631
The group arrived with children
and some elderly family members,
110
00:04:24,731 --> 00:04:26,733
all of whom could not
speak English.
111
00:04:26,834 --> 00:04:29,136
The community, though,
banded together.
112
00:04:29,236 --> 00:04:31,672
They helped them. They set them
up in a nearby church overnight.
113
00:04:31,772 --> 00:04:33,941
MAN 2: Now, what's truly
bizarre about the situation
114
00:04:34,074 --> 00:04:36,510
is all of these immigrants
came from Texas
115
00:04:36,610 --> 00:04:38,912
and it appears only the planes
were provided by Florida,
116
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:41,515
specifically to bring them here.
117
00:04:41,615 --> 00:04:45,719
You know, there's assholes
and then there's this guy.
118
00:04:45,819 --> 00:04:48,455
-(laughter) -No, because,
you know, sometimes,
119
00:04:48,555 --> 00:04:50,657
you know,
someone is so terrible,
120
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:52,326
the word "asshole"
doesn't quite capture
121
00:04:52,426 --> 00:04:54,494
their essence enough. You know?
122
00:04:54,595 --> 00:04:55,929
Yeah, 'cause everyone
is an asshole.
123
00:04:56,096 --> 00:04:57,564
Like my neighbor is an asshole,
you know?
124
00:04:57,664 --> 00:04:59,099
Drivers in traffic are assholes.
125
00:04:59,132 --> 00:05:00,567
Hell, I'm an asshole.
126
00:05:00,667 --> 00:05:03,403
But Ron DeSantis-- he's like,
he's like the-the little edges,
127
00:05:03,504 --> 00:05:05,105
the little ridges
around the asshole
128
00:05:05,205 --> 00:05:07,307
that really catch all the shit.
129
00:05:08,742 --> 00:05:10,043
And because I can't
show you that on TV,
130
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:11,345
here's a picture
of a star-nosed mole
131
00:05:11,445 --> 00:05:14,515
so you know
exactly what I'm trying to say.
132
00:05:14,615 --> 00:05:16,650
Those little...
133
00:05:17,684 --> 00:05:19,052
'Cause here's the thing,
remember,
134
00:05:19,086 --> 00:05:21,455
Ron DeSantis
is the governor of Florida.
135
00:05:21,555 --> 00:05:24,057
So why is he grabbing refugees
in Texas
136
00:05:24,091 --> 00:05:25,692
and shipping them
to Massachusetts, huh?
137
00:05:25,792 --> 00:05:27,060
Why, so he can prove
138
00:05:27,094 --> 00:05:28,195
that America's
immigration system is broken?
139
00:05:28,295 --> 00:05:29,730
Yeah, everyone knows that,
140
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:32,599
but instead of pushing lawmakers
to actually reform the system,
141
00:05:32,699 --> 00:05:34,902
he's using taxpayer money
to, what, go viral?
142
00:05:35,068 --> 00:05:36,737
'Cause this is what he...
what he wants to do, right?
143
00:05:36,837 --> 00:05:38,272
And this is what gets to me.
144
00:05:38,372 --> 00:05:40,541
If you told DeSantis to spend
the same amount of money helping
145
00:05:40,641 --> 00:05:41,775
these asylum seekers,
he'd be like,
146
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:43,177
"Oh, we don't have
the funding for that,"
147
00:05:43,277 --> 00:05:44,645
but to troll the Democrats,
suddenly he's like,
148
00:05:44,745 --> 00:05:47,548
"Put it on my card, yeah."
149
00:05:47,648 --> 00:05:49,883
And by the way, America actually
has a history of doing this.
150
00:05:49,983 --> 00:05:52,619
Yeah, in the 1960s, racist
organizations in the South
151
00:05:52,719 --> 00:05:55,122
shipped Black people
up to Northern states
152
00:05:55,222 --> 00:05:57,424
to make liberals uncomfortable,
153
00:05:57,524 --> 00:05:59,159
but Ron DeSantis obviously
doesn't know about that
154
00:05:59,259 --> 00:06:00,594
because the pages in
his history books were torn out
155
00:06:00,694 --> 00:06:02,162
in his state, so I get it.
156
00:06:02,262 --> 00:06:05,232
Now, if we had more time we
could delve into a long history
157
00:06:05,332 --> 00:06:07,034
of how American lawmakers
are all too happy
158
00:06:07,067 --> 00:06:08,836
to pour tons of resources
into destabilizing
159
00:06:08,936 --> 00:06:10,904
Central and South American
countries, but when the effects
160
00:06:11,038 --> 00:06:12,773
of that destabilization
are felt in America,
161
00:06:12,873 --> 00:06:14,208
suddenly they don't have
the money to pay
162
00:06:14,308 --> 00:06:15,409
for the consequences
of their actions,
163
00:06:15,509 --> 00:06:16,944
but we don't have the time
to get into that
164
00:06:17,044 --> 00:06:18,679
because while American lawmakers
are arguing
165
00:06:18,779 --> 00:06:20,347
about what's happening
at land borders,
166
00:06:20,447 --> 00:06:22,316
Americans on the Internet
are at war
167
00:06:22,416 --> 00:06:24,418
about what's happening
under the sea.
168
00:06:24,518 --> 00:06:26,253
The new trailer
for the live-action remake
169
00:06:26,353 --> 00:06:30,524
of The Little Mermaid already
has more than 100 million views.
170
00:06:30,624 --> 00:06:33,660
While it's got a lot of fans,
it is also being attacked
171
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,529
by some Internet trolls.

00:06:37,965 --> 00:06:40,100
in Disney's new
live-action film,
174
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,270
and she looks nothing like
the animated Little Mermaid
175
00:06:43,370 --> 00:06:47,074
with red hair
from the original 1989 classic.
176
00:06:47,174 --> 00:06:50,677
The trailer has received
more than 1.5 million dislikes
177
00:06:50,777 --> 00:06:51,879
on YouTube.
178
00:06:51,979 --> 00:06:54,481
Then there are the ugly,
racist tweets.
179
00:06:54,581 --> 00:06:57,084
"The Little Mermaid
is white, not Black."
180
00:06:57,117 --> 00:06:59,753
Really, people,
we're doing this again, huh?
181
00:06:59,853 --> 00:07:01,288
"She looks nothing
like the ori..."
182
00:07:01,388 --> 00:07:03,223
Nothing like?
They both have the tail, huh?
183
00:07:03,323 --> 00:07:05,425
They both have the red...
"She looks nothing like her.
184
00:07:05,526 --> 00:07:08,762
How do I even know
this is a mermaid?"
185
00:07:08,862 --> 00:07:11,231
Once again, a bunch
of Internet racists are upset
186
00:07:11,331 --> 00:07:14,768
that a fictional character is
being played by a Black person,
187
00:07:14,868 --> 00:07:17,304
and, honestly, I don't know
what the big deal is.
188
00:07:17,404 --> 00:07:21,575
You guys realize that Nemo
was Black, too, right?
189
00:07:21,675 --> 00:07:24,378
Yeah, yeah, that whole movie
was about a fish
190
00:07:24,478 --> 00:07:26,313
who can't find his dad, yeah.
191
00:07:26,413 --> 00:07:28,315
-(audience groans)
-Oh, calm down, calm down.
192
00:07:28,415 --> 00:07:31,051
I can say that because
my dad left and he's white.
193
00:07:31,118 --> 00:07:32,953
So who's racist now?
194
00:07:37,224 --> 00:07:39,193
This is so ridiculous.
195
00:07:39,293 --> 00:07:41,228
First of all, of course
the Little Mermaid is Black.
196
00:07:41,328 --> 00:07:44,531
All right? Everyone whose name
starts with Lil is Black.
197
00:07:44,631 --> 00:07:46,667
Lil Wayne, Lil Nas X, Lil' Kim.
198
00:07:46,767 --> 00:07:48,402
Honestly, if you heard
that there was a woman
199
00:07:48,502 --> 00:07:49,670
named Little Mermaid,
you'd just assume that
200
00:07:49,770 --> 00:07:51,471
she's on a track
with Cardi B., you know?
201
00:07:51,572 --> 00:07:53,473
♪ With my wet-ass flippers. ♪
202
00:07:53,574 --> 00:07:55,475
So, look...
203
00:07:55,576 --> 00:07:57,911
So, look, stop being ridiculous.
204
00:07:58,078 --> 00:07:59,580
It's imaginary.
205
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:00,814
You know, I hope this scandal
206
00:08:00,914 --> 00:08:02,482
doesn't overshadow
the rest of the movie.
207
00:08:02,583 --> 00:08:04,518
The Little Mermaid
is a beautiful story
208
00:08:04,618 --> 00:08:07,621
about a young woman changing her
core identity to please a man.
209
00:08:07,721 --> 00:08:11,892
Let's not forget
about that, people.
210
00:08:12,025 --> 00:08:13,594
Well, look, if we had more
time, we could talk about
211
00:08:13,694 --> 00:08:17,064
how Disney already created
a Black mermaid 30 years ago
212
00:08:17,164 --> 00:08:20,300
and nobody cared or how there's
still plenty of white princesses
213
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,402
for little girls whose dream
it is to be in a monarchy.
214
00:08:22,503 --> 00:08:23,904
And let's not forget
you can still watch
215
00:08:24,037 --> 00:08:25,205
the original Little Mermaid.
It's not like
216
00:08:25,305 --> 00:08:26,773
if you try and turn it on,
Mickey's gonna
217
00:08:26,874 --> 00:08:29,243
jump out of the screen and be
like, "You're racist! Ha-ha!"
218
00:08:29,343 --> 00:08:30,577
But we don't have time for that.
219
00:08:30,677 --> 00:08:32,513
Because racism
isn't just on Twitter.
220
00:08:32,613 --> 00:08:34,948
It turns out
it's also ruining the NBA.
221
00:08:35,048 --> 00:08:36,884
This evening, the major headline
out of the NBA.
222
00:08:37,050 --> 00:08:38,552
They have now suspended
Phoenix Suns
223
00:08:38,652 --> 00:08:41,488
and Phoenix Mercury owner
Robert Sarver for a year.
224
00:08:41,588 --> 00:08:43,557
They have fined him ten million
dollars
225
00:08:43,657 --> 00:08:46,059
after a nearly year-long
investigation that detailed
226
00:08:46,093 --> 00:08:49,062
inappropriate behavior during
his 18 years with the team.
227
00:08:49,096 --> 00:08:51,431
NEWSMAN: The league says
Sarver, whose teams
228
00:08:51,532 --> 00:08:55,068
are mostly Black,
repeated the N-word five times,
229
00:08:55,169 --> 00:08:58,739
bullied employees,
and sent pornographic material,
230
00:08:58,839 --> 00:09:01,375
including a video, to staffers.
231
00:09:01,475 --> 00:09:04,378
Sarver also allegedly made jokes
frequently to employees in large
232
00:09:04,478 --> 00:09:08,048
and small settings about sex
and sex-related anatomy.
233
00:09:08,148 --> 00:09:09,550
Whew.
234
00:09:09,650 --> 00:09:11,752
They say this guy
was using the N-word,
235
00:09:11,852 --> 00:09:14,521
he was bullying people
and there was sexual harassment.
236
00:09:14,621 --> 00:09:17,024
That's a triple-double
in HR violations.
237
00:09:17,124 --> 00:09:19,092
I mean, how do you justify
238
00:09:19,193 --> 00:09:21,562
sending porn to your employees?
239
00:09:21,662 --> 00:09:24,031
What are you doing, huh?
What-What's the rationale?
240
00:09:24,097 --> 00:09:25,699
Just be like, "Did you see
that gang bang video
241
00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:27,634
"that I e-mailed you? Well,
that's the kind of teamwork
242
00:09:27,734 --> 00:09:29,803
"I want to see on the court
tonight, people!
243
00:09:29,903 --> 00:09:33,207
Come on, get out there!"
244
00:09:33,307 --> 00:09:35,309
Now, to be fair, to be fair,
245
00:09:35,409 --> 00:09:38,512
Sarver wasn't calling Black
people the N-word, all right?
246
00:09:38,612 --> 00:09:41,782
He was just allegedly
repeating Black people's use
247
00:09:41,882 --> 00:09:44,718
of the N-word,
and then complaining about
248
00:09:44,818 --> 00:09:47,387
why he couldn't say it
but they could.
249
00:09:47,487 --> 00:09:49,590
But he was saying it.
250
00:09:49,690 --> 00:09:53,527
So he isn't necessarily racist,
but he's definitely a moron.
251
00:09:53,627 --> 00:09:55,429
And here's what I don't get,
here's what I don't get.
252
00:09:55,529 --> 00:09:58,832
If you're someone who wants to
walk around saying the N-word,
253
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:01,935
then pretty much the worst place
in the world for you
254
00:10:02,035 --> 00:10:04,371
is the NBA.
255
00:10:04,471 --> 00:10:05,772
He's like,
"I love saying the N-word
256
00:10:05,873 --> 00:10:07,574
and I hate
the sound of squeaky shoes."
257
00:10:07,674 --> 00:10:10,410
Well, my man,
you chose the wrong field.
258
00:10:10,511 --> 00:10:11,979
Now, if we had more time,
259
00:10:12,079 --> 00:10:14,014
we could talk about whether
or not a one-year suspension
260
00:10:14,114 --> 00:10:16,283
is enough of a punishment
for what this owner has done.
261
00:10:16,383 --> 00:10:18,151
Because if you can't learn
in five minutes
262
00:10:18,252 --> 00:10:19,286
that you shouldn't
be saying the N-word,
263
00:10:19,386 --> 00:10:20,554
I'm not sure
that a year is gonna help.
264
00:10:20,654 --> 00:10:21,922
But we don't have the time
for that.
265
00:10:22,022 --> 00:10:24,024
Because while the NBA's
dealing with one bad owner,
266
00:10:24,124 --> 00:10:26,126
there's a scandal
in the chess world right now
267
00:10:26,226 --> 00:10:28,428
that is shaking
the entire sport.
268
00:10:28,529 --> 00:10:30,831
NEWSMAN: A cheating scandal's
rocking the world of chess
269
00:10:30,931 --> 00:10:31,999
like never before.
270
00:10:32,099 --> 00:10:34,401
After world chess champion
Magnus Carlsen
271
00:10:34,501 --> 00:10:37,738
recently lost a match to young
up-and-comer Hans Niemann,
272
00:10:37,838 --> 00:10:39,439
Carlsen abruptly quit
the tournament
273
00:10:39,540 --> 00:10:42,075
and then posted a cryptic tweet
that many interpreted
274
00:10:42,176 --> 00:10:44,077
as an accusation
that Niemann had cheated.
275
00:10:44,178 --> 00:10:46,446
Since then,
speculation has run wild
276
00:10:46,547 --> 00:10:48,248
about how Niemann
could have cheated,
277
00:10:48,348 --> 00:10:49,583
with some people suggesting
278
00:10:49,683 --> 00:10:51,985
that some kind
of wearable vibrating device
279
00:10:52,085 --> 00:10:53,620
could have been feeding him
moves.
280
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,955
A world champion
has never withdrawn
281
00:10:55,055 --> 00:10:56,390
from a chess tournament
before this,
282
00:10:56,490 --> 00:10:57,925
in this history
of the game of chess.
283
00:10:58,025 --> 00:10:59,626
So it's really unprecedented.
284
00:10:59,726 --> 00:11:02,162
Yeah. You're damn right
this is unprecedented.
285
00:11:02,262 --> 00:11:05,098
A chess grandmaster
might have been cheating?
286
00:11:05,199 --> 00:11:07,067
That is disgusting!
287
00:11:07,167 --> 00:11:08,335
The game of chess is sacred.
288
00:11:08,435 --> 00:11:11,138
It's an ancient game
of skill and strategy.
289
00:11:11,238 --> 00:11:14,074
(baby voice): With the little
horseys that you play with.
290
00:11:14,107 --> 00:11:16,276
(neighs)
L-shape!
291
00:11:17,878 --> 00:11:19,513
Now, even though lots of people
292
00:11:19,613 --> 00:11:20,948
are accusing Niemann
of cheating,
293
00:11:21,081 --> 00:11:23,517
nobody can say
exactly how he did it.
294
00:11:23,617 --> 00:11:26,420
Although, you may have heard
them say "vibrating."
295
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,388
Yeah. The one theory
296
00:11:28,488 --> 00:11:31,792
which the Internet is running
wild with is that he used
297
00:11:31,892 --> 00:11:35,095
vibrating anal beads
298
00:11:35,162 --> 00:11:37,865
to tell him what moves to make.
299
00:11:39,566 --> 00:11:41,335
Which I know sounds nuts, but...
300
00:11:41,435 --> 00:11:43,904
I get why someone would use
vibrating anal beads to cheat.
301
00:11:44,004 --> 00:11:45,873
You know?
Because even if you lose,
302
00:11:45,973 --> 00:11:47,441
you still kind of win, you know?
303
00:11:47,541 --> 00:11:48,942
(laughter, gasping)
304
00:11:49,109 --> 00:11:51,545
(applause)
305
00:11:51,645 --> 00:11:53,113
And let's be clear.
Let us be clear.
306
00:11:53,146 --> 00:11:55,682
There is absolutely no place
for sex toys
307
00:11:55,782 --> 00:11:57,918
in the game of chess.
308
00:11:58,018 --> 00:11:59,720
Except for the pawns.
309
00:11:59,820 --> 00:12:02,122
And the bishop, if you nasty.
310
00:12:03,690 --> 00:12:05,792
Now, if only we had more time,
311
00:12:05,893 --> 00:12:07,728
we could have so much fun
joking about
312
00:12:07,828 --> 00:12:09,730
which vibrations
equal which moves.
313
00:12:09,830 --> 00:12:12,132
Or we could even talk about
the real scandal in chess,
314
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:14,268
which is how are all the pieces
the same size?
315
00:12:14,368 --> 00:12:16,603
Huh? So is the giant horse
the size of a castle?
316
00:12:16,703 --> 00:12:18,138
Or is it a tiny castle
the size of a horse?
317
00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:20,073
Either way, protecting your king
is the least of your problems!
318
00:12:20,107 --> 00:12:21,408
But we just don't have
the time for that.
319
00:12:21,508 --> 00:12:23,977
Because I'm being told
through my... vibrating beads
320
00:12:24,077 --> 00:12:25,312
that we need to go
to a commercial break.
321
00:12:25,412 --> 00:12:26,914
So, don't go away.
'Cause when we come back,
322
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,882
we're gonna find out
what you know about the news.
323
00:12:28,982 --> 00:12:30,150
You don't want to miss it.
324
00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:32,286
(cheering and applause)
325
00:12:41,474 --> 00:12:43,509
(cheering, applause)
326
00:12:47,380 --> 00:12:49,715
Welcome back
to The Daily Show.
327
00:12:49,815 --> 00:12:52,885
You know, here at the show,
we pay a lot of attention
328
00:12:52,985 --> 00:12:55,154
to what's going on in the news.
329
00:12:55,254 --> 00:12:56,622
But how much are the people
330
00:12:56,722 --> 00:12:58,658
outside our studio
following along?
331
00:12:58,758 --> 00:13:00,593
Well, we sent Michael Kosta
to find out
332
00:13:00,693 --> 00:13:02,895
for another edition
of Fill Me In.
333
00:13:02,995 --> 00:13:05,131
Welcome to...
334
00:13:06,332 --> 00:13:08,834
-Coming up blank.
-Welcome to...
335
00:13:08,935 --> 00:13:11,003
-Answer the question?
-Answer the question?!
336
00:13:11,103 --> 00:13:13,372
-With Michael. Uh...
-Fill Me In.
337
00:13:13,472 --> 00:13:16,342
KOASTA: Time to find out
how much New Yorkers know
338
00:13:16,442 --> 00:13:18,711
about today's
most trending quotes.
339
00:13:18,811 --> 00:13:21,280
-Taylor Swift-- her new album's
called Midnights. -WOMAN: Oh.
340
00:13:21,380 --> 00:13:23,349
It's for people
who lie awake at night,
341
00:13:23,449 --> 00:13:25,351
"Hoping that just maybe,
342
00:13:25,451 --> 00:13:28,621
when the clock strikes 12:00,
we will..."
343
00:13:28,721 --> 00:13:29,689
Fall asleep?
344
00:13:29,789 --> 00:13:31,857
-Party.
-Turn into a pumpkin.
345
00:13:31,958 --> 00:13:34,594
Okay, so you think Taylor
Swift's new album Midnights
346
00:13:34,694 --> 00:13:36,429
is an homage to Cinderella?
347
00:13:36,529 --> 00:13:38,698
-Something like that.
-Kate,
348
00:13:38,798 --> 00:13:41,367
-why does your dumb husband say
things like this? -(laughter)
349
00:13:41,467 --> 00:13:42,468
Greet one another.
350
00:13:42,535 --> 00:13:44,470
What's another word for greet
351
00:13:44,537 --> 00:13:48,474
that has most of the same
letters in it but isn't greet?
352
00:13:48,574 --> 00:13:49,709
Meet yourself?
353
00:13:49,809 --> 00:13:51,544
"Meet yourself"
is the right answer!
354
00:13:51,644 --> 00:13:53,079
Ooh! Big reaction!
355
00:13:53,179 --> 00:13:54,747
-All right, who's this?
-WOMAN: That's my man.
356
00:13:54,847 --> 00:13:56,482
-That's my man.
-That's my man.
357
00:13:56,582 --> 00:13:57,817
Timothée Chalamet.
358
00:13:57,917 --> 00:13:59,986
-No! No, sir!
-What? Is it...?
359
00:14:00,086 --> 00:14:01,821
-That is Harry Styles.
-Oh, it's Harry Styles.
360
00:14:01,921 --> 00:14:04,190
All right, he just said this
about his new film.
361
00:14:04,290 --> 00:14:05,758
"My favorite thing about the
movie is that
362
00:14:05,858 --> 00:14:08,361
it feels like 'blank.'"
363
00:14:08,494 --> 00:14:10,596
-Real.
-That is good, and it's wrong.
364
00:14:10,696 --> 00:14:12,865
What does a movie feel like?
365
00:14:12,965 --> 00:14:14,767
-Entertainment.
-Entertainment.
366
00:14:14,867 --> 00:14:17,136
How is a movie supposed to feel?
367
00:14:17,236 --> 00:14:19,238
Is it supposed
to feel like a book?
368
00:14:19,338 --> 00:14:22,508
-No. -No. Is it supposed
to feel like a TV show?
369
00:14:22,608 --> 00:14:24,510
-No.
-No. Is it supposed to feel like
370
00:14:24,577 --> 00:14:26,379
-a Broadway musical?
-No.
371
00:14:26,512 --> 00:14:29,282
No. So, a movie's supposed
to feel like a...
372
00:14:29,382 --> 00:14:31,684
-Entertainment? -No, Shut up,
you already said that.
373
00:14:31,784 --> 00:14:33,719
-A movie feels like a...
-A movie.
374
00:14:33,819 --> 00:14:35,288
A movie! Yes!
375
00:14:35,388 --> 00:14:38,391
Timothée Chalamet said at the
premiere of his newest movie,
376
00:14:38,524 --> 00:14:41,127
"It's tough to be alive
right now,
377
00:14:41,227 --> 00:14:42,895
'blank' is in the air."
378
00:14:42,995 --> 00:14:46,032
-Um, love is in the air?
-You smell love?
379
00:14:46,132 --> 00:14:47,667
-Not really.
-Around here?
380
00:14:47,767 --> 00:14:49,201
Kind of smells like shit.
381
00:14:49,302 --> 00:14:50,937
It's something
that happened in Rome.
382
00:14:51,037 --> 00:14:53,906
-Ash.
-Ash. Let me see if that works.
383
00:14:54,006 --> 00:14:57,476
It's tough to be alive
right now, ash is in the air.
384
00:14:57,543 --> 00:14:59,745
What happened to Rome?
Eventually it...
385
00:14:59,845 --> 00:15:02,014
-Fell. -Collapsed. -Whoa,
now we're getting somewhere.
386
00:15:02,114 --> 00:15:04,817
It's too late. Really, we should
just be packing a go bag.
387
00:15:04,917 --> 00:15:07,320
-You know what I'm saying?
-I-- -Society collapsed?
388
00:15:07,486 --> 00:15:10,289
-You got it right! (whoops)
-(exclaiming)
389
00:15:10,389 --> 00:15:12,992
Kim Kardashian, when asked
390
00:15:13,092 --> 00:15:15,328
what her talent is, says,
391
00:15:15,494 --> 00:15:17,763
"I can give you
a million (bleep) talents.
392
00:15:17,863 --> 00:15:21,867
I can cook well,
use my 'blank' for anything."
393
00:15:21,968 --> 00:15:24,537
-You got that one.
-It's not what you think.
394
00:15:24,637 --> 00:15:26,973
-Perverts.
-Brain, brain. -Her brain.
395
00:15:27,073 --> 00:15:28,975
Well, guess what,
brain is wrong.
396
00:15:29,075 --> 00:15:31,143
Let me give you a hint.
It's one part of her body
397
00:15:31,244 --> 00:15:33,512
that we've seen the least of.
398
00:15:33,546 --> 00:15:35,581
-I was gonna say feet.
-You were gonna say feet.
399
00:15:35,681 --> 00:15:37,416
-What's on the feet?
-Shoes.
400
00:15:37,516 --> 00:15:39,418
Shoes. What's in the shoes?
401
00:15:39,518 --> 00:15:41,087
-Socks.
-Socks.
402
00:15:41,187 --> 00:15:42,488
What's in the socks?
403
00:15:42,588 --> 00:15:43,522
-Feet.
-Feet.
404
00:15:43,623 --> 00:15:44,924
What is in the feet?
405
00:15:45,024 --> 00:15:46,792
-Toes. -Her DNA.
-Uh, uh!
406
00:15:46,892 --> 00:15:48,461
-Toes?
-Her toes!
407
00:15:48,494 --> 00:15:50,329
-(whoops) -And, no,
not all of today's quotes
408
00:15:50,463 --> 00:15:51,530
are from movie stars.
409
00:15:51,631 --> 00:15:54,033
Okay, AOC. Quote,
410
00:15:54,133 --> 00:15:55,701
"It's really important
for people to feel like
411
00:15:55,801 --> 00:15:58,604
their elected officials blank."
412
00:15:58,704 --> 00:16:00,172
-Care?
-She didn't say "care."
413
00:16:00,273 --> 00:16:02,174
She gave it
a little more New York sass.
414
00:16:02,275 --> 00:16:03,342
Give a (bleep).
415
00:16:03,476 --> 00:16:04,977
Ooh, that's too much sass.
416
00:16:05,077 --> 00:16:07,780
It's caring
but using a word for poop.
417
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,116
-Give a shit.
-Oh! Now put it together!
418
00:16:10,216 --> 00:16:11,717
-Oh! -"It's really important
for people to feel like
419
00:16:11,817 --> 00:16:12,885
their elected officials..."
420
00:16:12,985 --> 00:16:14,353
-Give a shit!
-Three times!
421
00:16:14,487 --> 00:16:15,821
One, two, three!
422
00:16:15,922 --> 00:16:17,323
Give a shit!
423
00:16:17,490 --> 00:16:19,992
Do you feel like your elected
official gives a shit about you?
424
00:16:20,092 --> 00:16:21,560
70?
425
00:16:21,661 --> 00:16:23,629
You know who does give
a shit about you?
426
00:16:23,729 --> 00:16:25,097
Harry Styles.
427
00:16:26,198 --> 00:16:28,167
-No. -♪ ♪
-(cheering and applause)
428
00:16:28,267 --> 00:16:29,502
Thank you so much for that,
Michael.
429
00:16:29,568 --> 00:16:31,170
All right, stay tuned.
Because when we come back,
430
00:16:31,270 --> 00:16:33,572
George Stephanopoulos
will be joining me
431
00:16:33,673 --> 00:16:35,575
right here on the show.
You don't want to miss it.
432
00:16:35,675 --> 00:16:37,710
(cheering and applause)
433
00:16:46,253 --> 00:16:48,288
(applause and cheering)
434
00:16:50,257 --> 00:16:52,059
Welcome back
to The Daily Show.
435
00:16:52,159 --> 00:16:53,994
My guest tonight is the host
436
00:16:54,094 --> 00:16:56,096
of Good Morning America
and This Week.
437
00:16:56,196 --> 00:16:59,433
He's here to talk about his
new weekly political docuseries
438
00:16:59,533 --> 00:17:03,136
for Hulu called Power Trip,
which premieres September 25.
439
00:17:03,236 --> 00:17:05,338
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Uh,
we're going to run you ragged.
440
00:17:05,439 --> 00:17:07,340
You're going to have
to cover policy, politics,
441
00:17:07,441 --> 00:17:10,677
and do it
in a very polarized environment
442
00:17:10,777 --> 00:17:13,880
where you're going to have
to gain trust from all sides.
443
00:17:15,148 --> 00:17:18,652
Let me hear you! (shouting)
444
00:17:18,752 --> 00:17:20,954
CROWD:
Shut it down!
445
00:17:21,054 --> 00:17:22,789
This is just the beginning.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
446
00:17:22,889 --> 00:17:24,157
-Thank you.
-(applause and cheering)
447
00:17:24,257 --> 00:17:26,860
You guys are fake news.
Fake, fake news.
448
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,129
STEPHANOPOULOS: I think our
democracy is on a knife edge.
449
00:17:29,229 --> 00:17:30,997
There's so much at stake.
450
00:17:31,098 --> 00:17:33,600
Please welcome
George Stephanopoulos!
451
00:17:33,700 --> 00:17:36,203
(applause and cheering)
452
00:17:42,776 --> 00:17:44,811
How's it going?
453
00:17:46,346 --> 00:17:47,614
George Stephanopoulos,
welcome to The Daily Show.
454
00:17:47,714 --> 00:17:49,282
This is... It's great
to be here. Thank you.
455
00:17:49,383 --> 00:17:50,851
This is... this is so amazing
having you here
456
00:17:50,951 --> 00:17:53,553
because, I mean, like,
I feel like this is your world.
457
00:17:53,653 --> 00:17:55,555
You know, you're one
of the-the most familiar faces.
458
00:17:55,655 --> 00:17:56,990
You're one of the names
459
00:17:57,090 --> 00:17:58,692
that is most synonymous
with all things news.
460
00:17:58,792 --> 00:18:01,528
And now you're taking us behind
the scenes in this docuseries
461
00:18:01,628 --> 00:18:05,265
where ABC is going to be,
um, embedding journalists.
462
00:18:05,365 --> 00:18:06,867
Yeah, we've got
seven young journalists.
463
00:18:06,967 --> 00:18:08,568
-They're in their twenties.
-Right.
464
00:18:08,668 --> 00:18:10,971
They're all ambitious,
passionate, smart kids.
465
00:18:11,071 --> 00:18:12,539
They don't have a lot
of experience,
466
00:18:12,639 --> 00:18:14,908
but they're going to go out
on the campaign trail,
467
00:18:15,008 --> 00:18:16,276
basically a zone defense,
covering the country
468
00:18:16,343 --> 00:18:17,978
and cover all these campaigns.
469
00:18:18,078 --> 00:18:19,713
We're doing it
for the first time
470
00:18:19,813 --> 00:18:22,182
for these midterm elections
because, I said it in that clip,
471
00:18:22,282 --> 00:18:24,785
I think our democracy
is at stake in the midterms.
472
00:18:24,885 --> 00:18:27,120
We've never seen anything
like it before
473
00:18:27,287 --> 00:18:30,123
and we want to make sure we get
it in as real a way as we can.
474
00:18:30,290 --> 00:18:32,592
It feels like these midterms
are going to be different.
475
00:18:32,693 --> 00:18:35,162
And, you know,
and people often say that.
476
00:18:35,295 --> 00:18:37,731
I've seen, you know, American
news try and drum up interest,
477
00:18:37,831 --> 00:18:39,299
but it feels like these ones
478
00:18:39,399 --> 00:18:40,667
are going to be particularly
different.
479
00:18:40,767 --> 00:18:42,903
This is the first time, I think,
in a midterm election--
480
00:18:43,003 --> 00:18:45,372
we saw a little bit of it in
2020, a lot of it in 2020--
481
00:18:45,472 --> 00:18:48,842
where the very way we debate
and decide elections
482
00:18:48,942 --> 00:18:50,243
-Mm-hmm.
-is under assault.
483
00:18:50,277 --> 00:18:52,779
I mean, you've got
40% of the country
484
00:18:52,879 --> 00:18:55,682
who still doesn't believe
the last election is over.
485
00:18:55,782 --> 00:18:58,251
40% of the country
who is determined...
486
00:18:58,285 --> 00:19:00,053
who doesn't accept facts
487
00:19:00,153 --> 00:19:01,355
-Right.
-in a debate.
488
00:19:01,455 --> 00:19:04,257
And, you know, our whole
system is premised on the ideas,
489
00:19:04,358 --> 00:19:07,394
both sides can argue out,
based on a common set of facts.
490
00:19:07,494 --> 00:19:09,796
Whoever wins, wins, and
you go on to fight another day.
491
00:19:09,896 --> 00:19:11,832
This is different
because that has not been
492
00:19:11,932 --> 00:19:13,934
settled after the last election.
493
00:19:14,034 --> 00:19:15,335
Let me ask you this.
494
00:19:15,435 --> 00:19:16,870
As somebody who's been covering
the news for so long,
495
00:19:16,970 --> 00:19:18,438
somebody's who's been involved
in campaigns,
496
00:19:18,538 --> 00:19:21,675
you've seen the tide shift,
you've seen the attitude change.
497
00:19:21,775 --> 00:19:24,811
Did you see this coming?
Is it new?
498
00:19:24,911 --> 00:19:27,614
And if you did see it coming,
what was the moment?
499
00:19:27,714 --> 00:19:29,583
There's got to be one moment
where you noticed
500
00:19:29,683 --> 00:19:31,017
that something had shifted?
501
00:19:31,118 --> 00:19:33,286
I can't say I ever saw
this coming to this degree.
502
00:19:33,387 --> 00:19:37,124
I never believed...
I mean, I still well up
503
00:19:37,290 --> 00:19:39,359
when I think of the Capitol
under assault
504
00:19:39,459 --> 00:19:41,762
on January 6 after an election.
505
00:19:41,862 --> 00:19:43,997
Our whole system
is premised on the idea
506
00:19:44,097 --> 00:19:46,033
-of a peaceful transfer
of power. -Mm-hmm.
507
00:19:46,133 --> 00:19:48,068
But the change that started
to happen...
508
00:19:48,235 --> 00:19:50,904
I-I'm... You make it sound like
I'm very old-- I guess I am--
509
00:19:51,004 --> 00:19:52,339
but when I first worked
in campaign...
510
00:19:52,439 --> 00:19:53,807
No, I-I just said you've been
doing it for a long time.
511
00:19:53,907 --> 00:19:55,876
-Yeah, long time. -Yeah,
you could be a news child star.
512
00:19:55,976 --> 00:19:59,513
-I didn't say you were old,
George. -(laughs)
513
00:19:59,613 --> 00:20:01,248
When I first worked
in campaigns,
514
00:20:01,348 --> 00:20:03,517
we used to footnote
our commercials
515
00:20:03,617 --> 00:20:05,052
'cause we were so concerned
516
00:20:05,152 --> 00:20:07,521
about being called out
for not telling the truth.
517
00:20:07,621 --> 00:20:09,289
-Interesting. -Inter...
But what-what has changed
518
00:20:09,389 --> 00:20:13,660
over time is that, as-as
each side basically just tries
519
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:14,861
to get out their own voters
520
00:20:14,961 --> 00:20:16,630
rather than trying
to persuade others,
521
00:20:16,730 --> 00:20:18,999
they care less
about whether they're called out
522
00:20:19,099 --> 00:20:21,468
by the media on telling
the truth or not.
523
00:20:21,568 --> 00:20:22,869
You know, it's-it's interesting
you say that
524
00:20:22,969 --> 00:20:24,938
because I've noticed
on-on the news shows,
525
00:20:25,038 --> 00:20:27,607
you'll be talking
to politicians,
526
00:20:27,708 --> 00:20:30,677
and back in the day it felt
like a politician was so afraid
527
00:20:30,777 --> 00:20:32,946
to-to-to contradict themselves,
to be a hypocrite,
528
00:20:33,046 --> 00:20:34,848
to have any moment
where there was a discrepancy,
529
00:20:34,948 --> 00:20:37,150
and now it feels
like just having the platform
530
00:20:37,284 --> 00:20:40,120
to come on your news show
and say something
531
00:20:40,287 --> 00:20:42,723
-is more important than whether,
whether or not you... -1,000%.
532
00:20:42,823 --> 00:20:44,091
-You know?
-And, and what they love...
533
00:20:44,191 --> 00:20:46,860
Often you'll have someone
come on, and you can show
534
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,829
and it can be footnoted,
you can go to the dictionary,
535
00:20:48,929 --> 00:20:51,631
you can go to 8,000
reference books and say,
536
00:20:51,732 --> 00:20:53,533
"You're just not telling
the truth,"
537
00:20:53,633 --> 00:20:55,268
and they say,
"Well, you're lying."
538
00:20:55,369 --> 00:20:59,239
And they don't care because
to the-the-the group of voters
539
00:20:59,306 --> 00:21:02,242
they're trying to appeal to,
calling us out,
540
00:21:02,309 --> 00:21:04,010
whether we're right or wrong,
works for them.
541
00:21:04,111 --> 00:21:05,512
So, do you, do you ever get
to a point
542
00:21:05,612 --> 00:21:07,080
where, as a news organization,
you say,
543
00:21:07,247 --> 00:21:08,648
-"We can't have certain people
on"? -Absolutely.
544
00:21:08,749 --> 00:21:11,785
No, no, right now, I mean, I
will not put anybody on my show
545
00:21:11,885 --> 00:21:13,954
who will not accept the results
of the last election.
546
00:21:14,054 --> 00:21:15,822
-Just-- They don't come on.
-Wow.
547
00:21:15,922 --> 00:21:17,824
(cheering, applause)
548
00:21:17,924 --> 00:21:20,527
Um... So, you have--
549
00:21:20,627 --> 00:21:22,662
you have new issues
coming up all the time.
550
00:21:22,763 --> 00:21:25,432
I had an interview
with a-a senator a weeks back,
551
00:21:25,532 --> 00:21:27,634
which I still can't believe.
And remember
552
00:21:27,734 --> 00:21:29,269
how when Hillary Clinton
had her emails
553
00:21:29,336 --> 00:21:30,504
-that were classified,
-Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
554
00:21:30,604 --> 00:21:32,906
how Trump said, "lock her up."
555
00:21:33,006 --> 00:21:36,610
Republicans wanted investigation
after investigation.
556
00:21:36,710 --> 00:21:38,912
This senator would not
even say that Trump
557
00:21:39,012 --> 00:21:42,616
having all of those documents
in his house was wrong.
558
00:21:42,716 --> 00:21:45,285
Four questions, four times,
559
00:21:45,385 --> 00:21:46,787
would not say it was wrong.
560
00:21:46,887 --> 00:21:49,489
So you're in
an interesting position.
561
00:21:49,589 --> 00:21:52,559
For a long time,
America had an agreed idea
562
00:21:52,659 --> 00:21:54,494
of what was happening
on the news, for the most part.
563
00:21:54,594 --> 00:21:56,430
-Supposed to, yeah.
-Right. Cable news came
564
00:21:56,530 --> 00:21:59,132
and then it became, you know,
really partisan.
565
00:21:59,232 --> 00:22:00,967
You could have it this way
and you could have it that way
566
00:22:01,068 --> 00:22:03,070
and your facts could
almost be à la carte now.
567
00:22:03,236 --> 00:22:05,639
-You still occupy a position--
-Trying to.
568
00:22:05,739 --> 00:22:07,774
Yeah, but you still occupy
this position where most people
569
00:22:07,874 --> 00:22:10,477
think of it as, "Okay, this
is the-the middle. This is--"
570
00:22:10,577 --> 00:22:12,713
But the Overton window
of middle is shifting.
571
00:22:12,813 --> 00:22:15,082
How do you now respond?
Do-do you try and--
572
00:22:15,248 --> 00:22:17,084
do you have to cater to
some of these politicians?
573
00:22:17,250 --> 00:22:18,885
Here's what you don't do.
I mean,
574
00:22:18,985 --> 00:22:20,887
I think there is a risk
when you're talking
575
00:22:20,987 --> 00:22:24,257
to certain, uh, politicians if--
if-if you're willing to say,
576
00:22:24,291 --> 00:22:26,259
-"What you're saying
is not true." -Mm-hmm.
577
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:29,730
And sometimes you have to risk
looking partisan by doing that.
578
00:22:29,830 --> 00:22:33,266
But I think we can't
bow to that threat.
579
00:22:33,367 --> 00:22:36,269
-Mm.
-I mean, as long as-as
580
00:22:36,303 --> 00:22:39,439
I'm confident when I am
that we're arguing about facts,
581
00:22:39,539 --> 00:22:42,275
undisputable facts,
I have no problem saying,
582
00:22:42,342 --> 00:22:43,777
"You're not telling the truth."
583
00:22:43,877 --> 00:22:45,912
Even if that's gonna
cause somebody to say,
584
00:22:46,012 --> 00:22:48,615
"Oh, you know, you're just
being, uh, a political hack."
585
00:22:48,715 --> 00:22:51,218
You have to do that. That's what
we have to stand up for
586
00:22:51,318 --> 00:22:53,020
as journalists--
right and wrong,
587
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:54,955
-fact, not fiction.
-Mm-hmm.
588
00:22:55,055 --> 00:22:57,024
You, um... You-you are now
589
00:22:57,124 --> 00:22:59,359
sending these journalists
as embeds, you know?
590
00:22:59,459 --> 00:23:00,794
They're-they're on the ground.
591
00:23:00,894 --> 00:23:02,629
They're getting information
on the ground from these people.
592
00:23:02,729 --> 00:23:04,798
What we see, even in that clip--
and-and I think the docuseries
593
00:23:04,898 --> 00:23:06,433
-really-really gets into it...
-"You're fake news," right?
594
00:23:06,533 --> 00:23:08,502
...is people say,
"Well, you're fake news."
595
00:23:08,602 --> 00:23:10,871
Do you think
we're moving towards a world
596
00:23:10,971 --> 00:23:13,974
where the news is
what you want to hear
597
00:23:14,074 --> 00:23:18,245
and then what you do
essentially almost falls away?
598
00:23:18,278 --> 00:23:20,847
It's-it's the grea-- I think
it's one of the greatest dangers
599
00:23:20,947 --> 00:23:22,382
our democracy faces right now.
600
00:23:22,482 --> 00:23:24,584
I think there's no question
about that.
601
00:23:24,684 --> 00:23:25,585
You see it right there.
602
00:23:25,686 --> 00:23:26,853
By definition,
603
00:23:26,953 --> 00:23:28,755
there's gonna be
certain people who,
604
00:23:28,855 --> 00:23:30,691
no matter what the facts are,
605
00:23:30,791 --> 00:23:32,926
if I'm saying it, you're a liar.
606
00:23:33,026 --> 00:23:34,294
It's fake news.
607
00:23:34,394 --> 00:23:36,697
If their-- if their candidate
is saying he's right,
608
00:23:36,797 --> 00:23:37,964
not wrong--
And-and you're right.
609
00:23:38,065 --> 00:23:39,700
People just end up
610
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,002
going to the places
where they know
611
00:23:42,102 --> 00:23:44,271
the view that they already have
is gonna be reinforced,
612
00:23:44,371 --> 00:23:45,372
whether or not it's true.
613
00:23:45,472 --> 00:23:47,040
Have you found any way
to break through?
614
00:23:47,207 --> 00:23:48,575
On the ground? On your show?
615
00:23:48,675 --> 00:23:50,310
-In-in any of the journalism?
-Well, we're gonna try to do it
616
00:23:50,410 --> 00:23:51,344
with this new show.
617
00:23:51,445 --> 00:23:52,779
I-I think
what we're gonna try to do
618
00:23:52,879 --> 00:23:55,682
is show the process
619
00:23:55,782 --> 00:23:59,086
of these young reporters
trying to get the truth.
620
00:23:59,219 --> 00:24:01,221
Show them doing it
in the right way.
621
00:24:01,321 --> 00:24:04,091
Showing them doing it,
we hope, with integrity.
622
00:24:04,224 --> 00:24:06,293
So-- Showing the risks they take
to do it.
623
00:24:06,393 --> 00:24:07,594
And if--
I think if people have--
624
00:24:07,694 --> 00:24:10,897
If-if we have some transparency
on the process,
625
00:24:10,997 --> 00:24:13,100
I hope the people
will trust what they're hearing.
626
00:24:13,233 --> 00:24:14,568
-Well, I wish you
the best of luck. -Thank you.
627
00:24:14,668 --> 00:24:16,236
-Thank you so much for joining
me on the show. -Thank you.
628
00:24:16,303 --> 00:24:18,572
It's a really,
really fascinating docuseries.
629
00:24:18,672 --> 00:24:19,606
Make sure to check it out.
630
00:24:19,706 --> 00:24:20,607
George Stephanopoulos,
everybody.
631
00:24:20,707 --> 00:24:21,708
We're gonna take a quick break,
632
00:24:21,808 --> 00:24:23,777
but we'll be right back
after this.
633
00:24:23,877 --> 00:24:25,045
Thank you very much.
634
00:24:25,145 --> 00:24:26,246
Yeah. Best of luck.
635
00:24:26,279 --> 00:24:28,315
(cheering and applause)
636
00:24:30,452 --> 00:24:32,487
(cheering and applause)
637
00:24:33,621 --> 00:24:34,556
Well, that's our show
for tonight!
638
00:24:34,656 --> 00:24:35,890
Charlamagne is coming up next.
639
00:24:35,991 --> 00:24:38,293
Now here it is,
Your Moment of Zen.
640
00:24:38,393 --> 00:24:42,130
The FBI came after me
and took my phone.
641
00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:44,199
They surrounded me
at a Hardee's.
642
00:24:44,299 --> 00:24:46,501
And they told me
not to tell anybody.
643
00:24:46,601 --> 00:24:48,370
Here's an order not to--
"Don't tell anybody."
644
00:24:48,470 --> 00:24:50,205
Okay, I won't.
(chuckles)
645
00:24:50,305 --> 00:24:51,506
Well, I am.
