1
00:00:02,202 --> 00:00:03,704
Coming to you
from New York City,
2
00:00:03,804 --> 00:00:07,641
the only city in America,
it's The Daily Show.
3
00:00:07,741 --> 00:00:11,945
Tonight, the
Metaverse has legs.
4
00:00:12,045 --> 00:00:14,615
Kanye gets booted from Twitter.
5
00:00:14,715 --> 00:00:17,184
And Michael Fanone.
6
00:00:17,284 --> 00:00:22,055
This is The Daily
Show with Trevor Noah.
7
00:00:22,155 --> 00:00:23,056
[applause]
8
00:00:23,156 --> 00:00:30,163
[cheering]
9
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:34,902
What's going on, everybody?
10
00:00:35,002 --> 00:00:35,903
Welcome to The Daily Show.
11
00:00:36,003 --> 00:00:36,904
I'm Trevor Noah.
12
00:00:37,004 --> 00:00:38,438
Thank you so much
for tuning in.
13
00:00:38,539 --> 00:00:39,806
Thank you for coming
out in person.
14
00:00:39,907 --> 00:00:41,341
Good to see you.
15
00:00:41,441 --> 00:00:42,342
Thank you for being here.
16
00:00:42,442 --> 00:00:43,443
Thank you so much
for being here.
17
00:00:43,544 --> 00:00:44,545
Thank you so much
for being here.
18
00:00:44,645 --> 00:00:45,846
Take a seat, everybody.
19
00:00:45,946 --> 00:00:48,215
We have got a great
show for you tonight.
20
00:00:48,315 --> 00:00:51,185
Mark Zuckerberg has
just invented legs.
21
00:00:51,285 --> 00:00:52,953
Vladimir Putin is
getting desperate.
22
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:55,856
And in New Zealand, cows are
going to become taxpayers.
23
00:00:55,956 --> 00:00:57,291
So let's do this, people.
24
00:00:57,391 --> 00:01:04,398
Let's jump straight
into today's headlines.
25
00:01:06,466 --> 00:01:08,135
All right, before we get
into the big stories,
26
00:01:08,235 --> 00:01:11,705
let's catch up on a few other
things going on in the world,
27
00:01:11,805 --> 00:01:15,075
starting with some
big tech news.
28
00:01:15,142 --> 00:01:18,645
Mark Zuckerberg has just
revealed that from now on,
29
00:01:18,745 --> 00:01:23,584
people will have legs
in the Metaverse.
30
00:01:23,684 --> 00:01:26,620
Yeah, and I for one, am truly
excited for what this means.
31
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,256
Because first you get legs,
then you will get feet.
32
00:01:29,356 --> 00:01:31,792
Pretty soon you'll be able
to walk out of the Metaverse
33
00:01:31,892 --> 00:01:35,162
and go literally anywhere else.
34
00:01:35,262 --> 00:01:37,164
In climate news,
New Zealand has just
35
00:01:37,264 --> 00:01:41,502
announced a plan to fight
methane emissions by taxing
36
00:01:41,602 --> 00:01:45,672
cows for their burps.
37
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:47,441
And this is how
much billionaires
38
00:01:47,541 --> 00:01:48,509
are winning in the world.
39
00:01:48,609 --> 00:01:52,312
Even cows are getting
taxed before them.
40
00:01:52,412 --> 00:01:54,214
And by the way, even if you
support this general idea
41
00:01:54,314 --> 00:01:56,483
to try and slow climate
change, you have to admit,
42
00:01:56,583 --> 00:02:02,523
if you were a cow, you'd be
pretty pissed about this.
43
00:02:02,623 --> 00:02:06,927
Oh, oh, hold on, hold on.
44
00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:08,061
You steal my milk.
45
00:02:08,095 --> 00:02:09,730
Make me spend my whole
life on death row,
46
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:11,798
and now you
two-nipple bitches are
47
00:02:11,899 --> 00:02:15,702
going to tax me for burping!
48
00:02:15,802 --> 00:02:17,104
Are you all driving
electric cars?
49
00:02:17,204 --> 00:02:18,105
No!
50
00:02:18,205 --> 00:02:19,640
Are you all using
solar panels now?
51
00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:21,275
No!
52
00:02:21,375 --> 00:02:23,277
You're still flying private
jets, but I get taxed.
53
00:02:23,377 --> 00:02:25,646
OK, well how about this?
54
00:02:25,746 --> 00:02:26,947
[burping]
55
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,148
You bitches.
56
00:02:28,248 --> 00:02:30,984
Take that, you bitches.
57
00:02:31,084 --> 00:02:32,452
Those New Zealand
cows are angry.
58
00:02:32,553 --> 00:02:39,326
All right, in sports
news, after it came out
59
00:02:40,661 --> 00:02:42,796
that NBA star Draymond Green
of the Golden State Warriors
60
00:02:42,896 --> 00:02:45,199
punched his teammate in
the face during practice,
61
00:02:45,299 --> 00:02:48,702
Green has announced that he
will be taking some time off,
62
00:02:48,802 --> 00:02:50,470
which is a great
reminder for everyone.
63
00:02:50,571 --> 00:02:53,841
Do not punch your
coworkers unless you
64
00:02:53,941 --> 00:02:57,477
want some extra vacation time.
65
00:02:57,578 --> 00:02:59,112
All right, let's move on
to some of the biggest
66
00:02:59,146 --> 00:03:01,215
stories of the day,
which for some reason,
67
00:03:01,315 --> 00:03:03,217
all involve racism.
68
00:03:03,317 --> 00:03:05,552
Yeah, I don't know if you guys
have ever heard of racism,
69
00:03:05,652 --> 00:03:07,087
but it's a pretty
hot thing these days.
70
00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:10,057
And by these days, I mean
the last like 1,000 years.
71
00:03:10,123 --> 00:03:11,458
Now for some reason,
for some reason,
72
00:03:11,558 --> 00:03:14,161
it seemed like everyone was
extra racist this weekend.
73
00:03:14,261 --> 00:03:17,064
I don't know, maybe because it
was like a three-day weekend,
74
00:03:17,097 --> 00:03:19,166
you know, people had a
little more time to kick
75
00:03:19,266 --> 00:03:20,634
back and work on their racism.
76
00:03:20,734 --> 00:03:22,603
Whatever it was,
it almost seemed
77
00:03:22,703 --> 00:03:24,505
like people were
competing to see
78
00:03:24,605 --> 00:03:26,073
who could be the most racist.
79
00:03:26,139 --> 00:03:29,476
So let's dive in to all the
competition for a segment
80
00:03:29,576 --> 00:03:36,583
we call "The Amazing Racism."
81
00:03:37,985 --> 00:03:39,786
Our first story
involving racism
82
00:03:39,887 --> 00:03:42,089
hails from the great
state of Alabama.
83
00:03:42,189 --> 00:03:44,758
I know, I'm shocked, too.
84
00:03:44,858 --> 00:03:46,426
But what makes
this racism special
85
00:03:46,527 --> 00:03:49,162
is that it's from a
Senator, one of the 100
86
00:03:49,263 --> 00:03:50,430
best people in America.
87
00:03:50,531 --> 00:03:53,500
And he said it out loud on TV.
88
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,969
Senator Tommy
Tuberville of Alabama
89
00:03:56,103 --> 00:03:58,105
is facing a
significant backlash
90
00:03:58,205 --> 00:04:00,407
from major civil rights
groups for comments
91
00:04:00,507 --> 00:04:03,043
he made at a Trump
rally over the weekend.
92
00:04:03,076 --> 00:04:06,613
Senator Tuberville called out
Democrats as being pro crime.
93
00:04:06,713 --> 00:04:08,715
He also suggested
that people who
94
00:04:08,815 --> 00:04:11,585
want reparations for
ancestral slavery
95
00:04:11,685 --> 00:04:13,820
are to blame for the crime.
96
00:04:13,921 --> 00:04:15,756
The Democratic party,
they have a majority,
97
00:04:15,856 --> 00:04:18,158
they could stop
this crime today.
98
00:04:18,258 --> 00:04:19,626
They want crime.
99
00:04:19,726 --> 00:04:21,328
They want crime
because they want
100
00:04:21,428 --> 00:04:22,729
to take over what you got.
101
00:04:22,829 --> 00:04:24,398
They want to control
what you have.
102
00:04:24,498 --> 00:04:27,067
They want reparation because
they think the people that
103
00:04:27,134 --> 00:04:28,769
do the crime are owed that.
104
00:04:28,869 --> 00:04:30,137
Bullshit!
105
00:04:30,237 --> 00:04:32,206
They are not owed that.
106
00:04:32,306 --> 00:04:35,576
Whoo, yeah, you
tell them, Tommy.
107
00:04:35,676 --> 00:04:38,145
That thing you just made up
right now about reparations.
108
00:04:38,245 --> 00:04:39,213
It's bullshit!
109
00:04:39,313 --> 00:04:41,348
We can't have that
fake thing happening!
110
00:04:41,448 --> 00:04:43,383
Whoo!
111
00:04:43,483 --> 00:04:44,818
I've got to say, people,
I've heard racists
112
00:04:44,918 --> 00:04:46,086
say all kinds of things.
113
00:04:46,153 --> 00:04:47,754
I've heard them say that
Black people are criminals,
114
00:04:47,855 --> 00:04:49,756
and I've heard them
say that reparations
115
00:04:49,857 --> 00:04:50,924
are reverse racism.
116
00:04:51,091 --> 00:04:53,360
But it takes a true racism
innovator to combine
117
00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:56,096
both ideas at the same time.
118
00:04:56,129 --> 00:04:58,765
Yeah, this is like the
stuffed crust pizza of racism.
119
00:04:58,866 --> 00:05:00,400
Because I knew you could
have crust and I knew
120
00:05:00,501 --> 00:05:02,402
that could have cheese, but I
didn't know that you could put
121
00:05:02,503 --> 00:05:03,804
the cheese inside the
crust that's holding
122
00:05:03,904 --> 00:05:04,805
the rest of the cheese.
123
00:05:04,905 --> 00:05:05,873
Because now the
crust is holding
124
00:05:06,039 --> 00:05:06,874
the cheese at the same time.
125
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,510
That's genius!
126
00:05:09,610 --> 00:05:14,915
Now, now, if you are
confused, if you're
127
00:05:15,048 --> 00:05:17,951
confused by what this man
is saying, congratulations.
128
00:05:18,051 --> 00:05:20,153
It means you're sane.
129
00:05:20,254 --> 00:05:25,459
But his point is that Democrats
want Black people to do crime
130
00:05:25,559 --> 00:05:28,295
because that's
basically reparations,
131
00:05:28,395 --> 00:05:31,632
which the Democrats
believe they deserve.
132
00:05:31,732 --> 00:05:33,233
And there are just
two things I can
133
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:35,402
think of off the top of my
head, off the top of my head.
134
00:05:35,502 --> 00:05:38,672
One, how does this
argument explain
135
00:05:38,772 --> 00:05:40,674
Black people who steal things
from other Black people?
136
00:05:40,774 --> 00:05:43,076
Because then, who's
reparating who?
137
00:05:43,143 --> 00:05:45,779
And secondly, how is this
man going to stand on stage
138
00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:48,348
and imply that all
criminals are Black?
139
00:05:48,448 --> 00:05:49,383
Huh?
140
00:05:49,483 --> 00:05:51,084
That is disgusting.
141
00:05:51,185 --> 00:05:54,721
Has the Senator never
watched Netflix, huh?
142
00:05:54,821 --> 00:05:56,623
I'm not going to
stand here and let
143
00:05:56,723 --> 00:05:58,458
Tommy Tuberville erase
all these white
144
00:05:58,559 --> 00:06:00,527
people's contributions!
145
00:06:00,627 --> 00:06:04,164
This is the real
racism, my friend.
146
00:06:04,264 --> 00:06:05,732
Trying to make it seem
like white people can't
147
00:06:05,832 --> 00:06:10,170
beat crime, how dare you!
148
00:06:10,270 --> 00:06:11,605
White people do crime
just like anybody.
149
00:06:11,705 --> 00:06:12,873
These guys going to
make it seem like,
150
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,708
all my white friends in
here, you can do the crime,
151
00:06:14,808 --> 00:06:16,176
you hear me.
152
00:06:16,276 --> 00:06:17,244
You don't listen
to these people
153
00:06:17,344 --> 00:06:18,245
saying you can't, you can't.
154
00:06:18,345 --> 00:06:23,517
You do the crime.
155
00:06:23,617 --> 00:06:25,485
Look, you know, while this
is upsetting, you have to,
156
00:06:25,586 --> 00:06:26,920
it's not exactly surprising.
157
00:06:27,054 --> 00:06:29,156
I mean, he's an
Alabama conservative
158
00:06:29,256 --> 00:06:32,192
named Tommy Tuberville.
159
00:06:32,292 --> 00:06:33,627
This is not, what
would be surprising,
160
00:06:33,727 --> 00:06:35,195
is if he got up on
stage and he was like,
161
00:06:35,295 --> 00:06:37,564
I'd like to open today
with my favorite passage
162
00:06:37,664 --> 00:06:40,934
from James Baldwin, y'all.
163
00:06:41,068 --> 00:06:43,303
So that's our first story.
164
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:45,772
And I hope you're warmed
up, because this next one
165
00:06:45,873 --> 00:06:47,307
is a little more unexpected.
166
00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:50,477
And it takes place
in liberal LA.
167
00:06:50,577 --> 00:06:52,980
In Los Angeles, the big
political issue right now
168
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,449
is a blockbuster tape recording
that could force three
169
00:06:55,549 --> 00:06:57,084
city councilors to resign.
170
00:06:57,150 --> 00:07:00,654
Nouri Martinez, a rising
star in LA politics,
171
00:07:00,754 --> 00:07:03,390
potentially faces
a career in ruins.
172
00:07:03,490 --> 00:07:06,927
The first Latina chosen to lead
the Los Angeles City Council
173
00:07:07,027 --> 00:07:10,364
caught on tape making racist
and offensive comments
174
00:07:10,464 --> 00:07:14,101
during a redistricting meeting
with three Latino Democrats.
175
00:07:14,201 --> 00:07:16,770
At one point, Martinez
talks about the Black child
176
00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:19,306
of Mike Bonin, a
white council member,
177
00:07:19,406 --> 00:07:22,743
in Spanish, calling the
boy a little monkey.
178
00:07:22,843 --> 00:07:26,513
And there's this white guy
with the little Black kid
179
00:07:26,613 --> 00:07:28,348
who's misbehaved.
180
00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:32,052
The kid's bouncing off the
effing walls on the float
181
00:07:32,119 --> 00:07:33,654
practically tipping it over.
182
00:07:33,754 --> 00:07:36,223
There's nothing you
can do to control him.
183
00:07:36,323 --> 00:07:37,357
Parece changuito.
184
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:38,926
They're raisin' him like
he's a little white kid.
185
00:07:39,059 --> 00:07:40,394
Which I was like, this
kid needs a beatdown.
186
00:07:40,494 --> 00:07:43,497
Like, you need, let me
take him around the corner
187
00:07:43,597 --> 00:07:44,798
and then I'll bring him back.
188
00:07:44,898 --> 00:07:46,667
Whoa, boy!
189
00:07:46,767 --> 00:07:47,835
Yeah!
190
00:07:47,935 --> 00:07:50,871
A Latina Democrat
called the Black son
191
00:07:50,971 --> 00:07:54,575
of a white colleague a
little monkey, who was
192
00:07:54,675 --> 00:07:56,343
bouncing all around the walls.
193
00:07:56,443 --> 00:07:59,813
I'm sorry, bouncing all
around the effing walls.
194
00:07:59,913 --> 00:08:01,815
Yeah, thank you for
censoring yourself.
195
00:08:01,915 --> 00:08:03,016
I appreciate it.
196
00:08:03,050 --> 00:08:04,017
That was weird.
197
00:08:04,051 --> 00:08:05,719
I mean, I'm not
sure she censored
198
00:08:05,819 --> 00:08:06,720
herself in the right place.
199
00:08:06,820 --> 00:08:07,855
That was weird of her.
200
00:08:08,021 --> 00:08:09,289
She be like, bouncing
off the effing
201
00:08:09,389 --> 00:08:10,524
walls like a little monkey.
202
00:08:10,624 --> 00:08:12,926
You know, I think you would
have censored the racism
203
00:08:13,026 --> 00:08:14,094
and just say [bleep].
204
00:08:14,194 --> 00:08:15,896
I think that would be better.
205
00:08:16,029 --> 00:08:17,030
But to each their own.
206
00:08:17,064 --> 00:08:18,065
I guess.
207
00:08:18,165 --> 00:08:20,367
I'm just effing crazy
that way, you know.
208
00:08:20,467 --> 00:08:22,402
Also, like do you know
how racist you have
209
00:08:22,503 --> 00:08:25,105
to be to see a kid misbehaving
and your first instinct
210
00:08:25,205 --> 00:08:26,807
is to use a racial
slur against him?
211
00:08:26,907 --> 00:08:27,808
It's a little kid.
212
00:08:27,908 --> 00:08:29,209
Right?
213
00:08:29,309 --> 00:08:31,144
We all see kids of every race
throw a tantrum or misbehave.
214
00:08:31,245 --> 00:08:33,814
And I'm not trying to
brag, but personally, I
215
00:08:33,914 --> 00:08:35,249
hate all kids equally.
216
00:08:35,349 --> 00:08:36,717
All right?
217
00:08:36,817 --> 00:08:39,286
Yeah.
218
00:08:39,386 --> 00:08:41,889
It's not, it's not the
color of their skin
219
00:08:42,055 --> 00:08:43,657
that makes them annoying,
it's the content
220
00:08:43,757 --> 00:08:47,427
of their shitty character.
221
00:08:47,528 --> 00:08:48,962
What's especially
wild about the story
222
00:08:49,062 --> 00:08:50,797
as well, is that in
the same conversation,
223
00:08:50,898 --> 00:08:52,833
she basically implies
that because the kid
224
00:08:52,933 --> 00:08:57,271
is Black, not white, he should
be beaten so that he behaves.
225
00:08:57,371 --> 00:08:59,573
And I'm sorry, people, if
you believe that Black kids
226
00:08:59,673 --> 00:09:01,475
deserve to be beaten,
you have no place
227
00:09:01,575 --> 00:09:03,844
being on the LA City Council.
228
00:09:04,011 --> 00:09:07,447
You clearly belong in the LAPD.
229
00:09:07,548 --> 00:09:12,519
But before we run out of
time, there is one story that
230
00:09:12,619 --> 00:09:14,121
has the whole world talking.
231
00:09:14,221 --> 00:09:16,290
I'm referring, of
course, to Kanye West.
232
00:09:16,390 --> 00:09:18,325
Rapper, entrepreneur,
and the guy
233
00:09:18,425 --> 00:09:20,260
who proved that not even Black
people can make the MAGA
234
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,461
hat cool.
235
00:09:21,562 --> 00:09:23,597
Kanye has been drifting
more and more to the right
236
00:09:23,697 --> 00:09:25,032
lately, from wearing
a White Lives
237
00:09:25,132 --> 00:09:26,733
Matter shirt to sitting
down for an interview
238
00:09:26,834 --> 00:09:27,734
with Tucker Carlson.
239
00:09:27,835 --> 00:09:29,770
But over the weekend
Kanye drifted
240
00:09:29,870 --> 00:09:31,438
right off the deep end.
241
00:09:31,538 --> 00:09:33,907
Ye, formerly
known as Kanye West,
242
00:09:34,041 --> 00:09:35,676
is now blocked from
using Instagram
243
00:09:35,776 --> 00:09:38,111
and Twitter because of
racist and anti-Semitic
244
00:09:38,212 --> 00:09:39,847
messages that he posted.
245
00:09:39,947 --> 00:09:41,782
On Friday, Instagram
was the first site
246
00:09:41,882 --> 00:09:43,951
to lock his account
after Kanye posted
247
00:09:44,051 --> 00:09:46,053
text messages between himself
and the rapper Sean
248
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,321
Diddy Combs.
249
00:09:47,421 --> 00:09:49,957
In those messages, he accused
Diddy of being controlled
250
00:09:50,057 --> 00:09:52,426
by Jewish people
after Diddy criticized
251
00:09:52,526 --> 00:09:54,728
a shirt Kanye was photographed
wearing that read,
252
00:09:54,828 --> 00:09:56,330
White Lives Matter.
253
00:09:56,430 --> 00:09:59,466
Then on Sunday, Kanye
posted a series of tweets,
254
00:09:59,566 --> 00:10:01,702
once again targeting
Jewish people,
255
00:10:01,802 --> 00:10:04,571
using the phrase Death con 3.
256
00:10:04,671 --> 00:10:07,341
The rap star lashing out
tweeting, "I'm a bit sleepy
257
00:10:07,441 --> 00:10:09,576
tonight, but when I
wake up, I am going
258
00:10:09,676 --> 00:10:11,945
Death con 3 on Jewish people.
259
00:10:12,045 --> 00:10:13,747
The funny thing is,
I actually can't
260
00:10:13,847 --> 00:10:17,518
be anti-Semitic because Black
people are actually Jew.
261
00:10:17,618 --> 00:10:19,586
Also, you guys
have toyed with me
262
00:10:19,686 --> 00:10:23,090
and tried to blackball anyone
who ever opposes your agenda.
263
00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:24,958
Oh, no, Kanye, you're
going to do it again,
264
00:10:25,058 --> 00:10:27,094
you're going to do it again.
265
00:10:27,194 --> 00:10:28,829
I don't even know where
to begin with this shit.
266
00:10:28,929 --> 00:10:30,597
I mean, promoting
anti anti-Semitism
267
00:10:30,697 --> 00:10:32,766
to your 50 million followers.
268
00:10:32,866 --> 00:10:34,067
I'm not even joking about it.
269
00:10:34,168 --> 00:10:37,204
Threatening to go Death con
3 on Jewish people, which
270
00:10:37,304 --> 00:10:39,006
by the way, I know
this is not the point,
271
00:10:39,106 --> 00:10:41,108
but that's not how you say it.
272
00:10:41,208 --> 00:10:44,645
I know it's not the main
issue here, I know that.
273
00:10:44,745 --> 00:10:51,418
But it's Defcon 3, all
right, not Death con 3.
274
00:10:51,518 --> 00:10:54,087
Death con sounds
like a trade show
275
00:10:54,188 --> 00:10:57,457
where they unveil all the
latest coffins or something.
276
00:10:57,558 --> 00:10:59,526
This is like, our newest
model comes with Bluetooth.
277
00:10:59,626 --> 00:11:01,862
Now you can check on to
make sure Nana's still dead.
278
00:11:01,962 --> 00:11:04,198
Just use the app.
279
00:11:04,298 --> 00:11:05,566
Defcon.
280
00:11:05,666 --> 00:11:08,535
Not to mention the Defcon
scale goes from 1 to 5.
281
00:11:08,635 --> 00:11:13,574
So Defcon 3 is
like in the middle?
282
00:11:13,674 --> 00:11:15,576
If you're trying to tell people
how hard you're going to go,
283
00:11:15,676 --> 00:11:18,145
that's just a weird
way to do it, you know.
284
00:11:18,245 --> 00:11:20,714
I'm about to open up
a can of whip ass,
285
00:11:20,814 --> 00:11:23,717
but I'm going to put half of it
in some Tupperware for later.
286
00:11:23,817 --> 00:11:24,985
You been warned.
287
00:11:25,085 --> 00:11:28,555
I don't want to use all my
whip ass at the same time.
288
00:11:28,655 --> 00:11:30,457
Also, it's funny that he
starts his threat with,
289
00:11:30,557 --> 00:11:33,393
I'm a bit sleepy tonight.
290
00:11:33,493 --> 00:11:35,095
What is that?
291
00:11:35,195 --> 00:11:36,864
Does anti-Semitism
make you tired?
292
00:11:36,964 --> 00:11:38,866
Is that why MAGA people
love the MyPillow guy?
293
00:11:38,966 --> 00:11:41,301
Is that what this is?
294
00:11:41,401 --> 00:11:43,937
But I will say, man, I feel
bad for American right-wingers,
295
00:11:44,104 --> 00:11:48,308
because they're
getting Kanye now.
296
00:11:48,408 --> 00:11:51,445
I think if they missed College
Dropout, My Beautiful Dark
297
00:11:51,545 --> 00:11:53,580
Twisted Fantasy, Graduation.
298
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:54,581
They missed all of that.
299
00:11:54,681 --> 00:11:56,316
They're getting this Kanye.
300
00:11:56,416 --> 00:11:58,752
It's like getting to date
the high school prom king,
301
00:11:58,852 --> 00:12:01,522
but decades after high school.
302
00:12:01,622 --> 00:12:02,656
Yeah, it's just
like, you remember
303
00:12:02,756 --> 00:12:05,125
Chad from high school?
304
00:12:05,225 --> 00:12:08,428
Well, he's got uncontrollable
flatulence now, yeah!
305
00:12:08,529 --> 00:12:11,899
They might even tax
him in New Zealand.
306
00:12:12,065 --> 00:12:15,502
So those are the contenders in
this week's "Amazing Racism."
307
00:12:15,602 --> 00:12:17,304
You've got a Black
guy hating on Jews,
308
00:12:17,404 --> 00:12:18,906
a white guy hating
on Black people,
309
00:12:19,072 --> 00:12:22,075
and a Hispanic woman hating
on a white guy for how
310
00:12:22,142 --> 00:12:24,444
he raises his Black kid.
311
00:12:24,545 --> 00:12:26,113
You've got like every
combination of racism
312
00:12:26,213 --> 00:12:27,247
in there.
313
00:12:27,347 --> 00:12:29,249
And you could find that
depressing, you could,
314
00:12:29,349 --> 00:12:30,851
and I would understand why.
315
00:12:30,951 --> 00:12:32,853
But I myself,
choose to see this,
316
00:12:32,953 --> 00:12:36,523
I choose to see all these
things as the glass half full.
317
00:12:36,623 --> 00:12:39,326
If everyone is being racist
against everyone else, then
318
00:12:39,426 --> 00:12:42,262
that means that no
matter what color we are,
319
00:12:42,362 --> 00:12:47,134
racism is at least one thing
that we all have in common.
320
00:12:47,234 --> 00:12:49,469
And what a beautiful
thought that is.
321
00:12:49,570 --> 00:12:50,771
All right, that's it
for the headlines.
322
00:12:50,871 --> 00:12:52,105
But before we go
to a break, it's
323
00:12:52,172 --> 00:12:54,107
time to check in on all the
latest social media trends
324
00:12:54,208 --> 00:12:55,509
with our very own
Ronnie Chang, everybody.
325
00:12:55,609 --> 00:12:56,510
[applause]
326
00:12:56,610 --> 00:12:57,978
[cheering]
327
00:12:58,111 --> 00:13:03,383
Ronnie Chang!
328
00:13:03,483 --> 00:13:04,484
Good to see you
again, my friend.
329
00:13:04,585 --> 00:13:05,485
Hey, hey.
330
00:13:05,586 --> 00:13:06,520
What is happening online?
331
00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:07,955
Hey, Trevor, thanks a lot.
332
00:13:08,055 --> 00:13:10,224
Before we begin, I
just want to check.
333
00:13:10,324 --> 00:13:12,793
Do you have any
major announcements
334
00:13:12,893 --> 00:13:14,228
you want to make first?
335
00:13:14,328 --> 00:13:17,664
Any emotional or
life-changing decisions
336
00:13:17,764 --> 00:13:20,200
about your professional life
that you might want to talk
337
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:24,071
about before I get started?
338
00:13:24,171 --> 00:13:25,138
Actually, yes,
there is one thing
339
00:13:25,239 --> 00:13:26,139
that I've had on my mind.
340
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,241
Shut the [bleep]
up, all right!
341
00:13:27,341 --> 00:13:28,242
No announcements!
342
00:13:28,342 --> 00:13:29,243
No announcements!
343
00:13:29,343 --> 00:13:30,544
Let me get through
this one segment
344
00:13:30,644 --> 00:13:31,879
without becoming
a surprise face
345
00:13:31,979 --> 00:13:36,416
meme again with a stupid
Curb Your Enthusiasm music.
346
00:13:36,517 --> 00:13:37,718
Yeah, very original.
347
00:13:37,818 --> 00:13:41,188
Idiots memes are the
comedy of lesser minds.
348
00:13:41,288 --> 00:13:43,790
Let's get to the social
media trends or whatever.
349
00:13:43,891 --> 00:13:46,760
This long weekend, it's
fun times on the internet,
350
00:13:46,860 --> 00:13:47,828
as usual.
351
00:13:47,928 --> 00:13:50,731
Kanye West going off
the rails, again.
352
00:13:50,831 --> 00:13:52,966
His beard is
clearly not helping.
353
00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:54,868
He looks like
Kimbo half a slice.
354
00:13:54,968 --> 00:13:59,106
Just sending out this tweet.
355
00:13:59,139 --> 00:14:03,043
As you've already examined,
yes, a lot to unpack here.
356
00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:07,481
First of all, any time you are
writing something in lowercase
357
00:14:07,581 --> 00:14:09,616
and then you put
the race of a people
358
00:14:09,716 --> 00:14:13,787
in all caps, that's
not a good place to be.
359
00:14:13,887 --> 00:14:15,622
Because even if you're
saying something nice,
360
00:14:15,722 --> 00:14:17,324
it's not going to read well.
361
00:14:17,424 --> 00:14:20,294
You could be saying like, I
want to wish a Happy Hanukkah
362
00:14:20,394 --> 00:14:24,064
to the Jewish people.
363
00:14:24,097 --> 00:14:26,066
It doesn't work.
364
00:14:26,133 --> 00:14:27,701
And what's going
on with this line?
365
00:14:27,801 --> 00:14:31,705
Also Jew, actually Jew also.
366
00:14:31,805 --> 00:14:34,441
I mean, it sounds like he let
the iPhone predictive text
367
00:14:34,541 --> 00:14:36,310
write a manifesto for him.
368
00:14:36,410 --> 00:14:41,081
I do like this though, I do
like the spaces in between.
369
00:14:41,148 --> 00:14:43,650
I think every racist rant
needs a few blank spaces
370
00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:47,788
where we can project
our own prejudices into.
371
00:14:47,888 --> 00:14:50,891
And, and if.
372
00:14:50,991 --> 00:14:55,195
[applause]
373
00:14:55,295 --> 00:14:58,398
And if this wasn't chaotic
enough, luckily for everyone,
374
00:14:58,498 --> 00:15:01,034
the world's second
weirdest person, Elon Musk,
375
00:15:01,101 --> 00:15:04,037
came in to calm everyone down.
376
00:15:04,104 --> 00:15:07,040
Replying with this tweet,
"Talked to Ye today
377
00:15:07,074 --> 00:15:09,343
and expressed my concerns
about his recent tweet, which
378
00:15:09,443 --> 00:15:10,477
I think he took to heart."
379
00:15:10,577 --> 00:15:12,746
You know it's bad when
Elon Musk thinks you're
380
00:15:12,846 --> 00:15:16,583
being unreasonable on Twitter.
381
00:15:16,683 --> 00:15:20,053
And I mean, is this how Elon is
going to do content moderation
382
00:15:20,153 --> 00:15:21,722
when he owns Twitter?
383
00:15:21,822 --> 00:15:23,056
He's just going to
have a heart to heart
384
00:15:23,156 --> 00:15:25,359
with every single person
who tweets something racist.
385
00:15:25,459 --> 00:15:28,495
Because I don't know if
you checked Twitter lately,
386
00:15:28,595 --> 00:15:30,364
because I don't think you're
going to have a lot of time
387
00:15:30,464 --> 00:15:33,934
to go to Mars if
you do that, OK?
388
00:15:34,067 --> 00:15:35,936
You're going to
be a little busy.
389
00:15:36,069 --> 00:15:37,471
And what else is going on?
390
00:15:37,571 --> 00:15:40,340
Oh, yeah, Zuckerberg,
another billionaire maniac.
391
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,077
Yo, Mark, why are you
obsessed with the Metaverse?
392
00:15:44,144 --> 00:15:46,413
The Metaverse sucks!
393
00:15:46,513 --> 00:15:48,982
You made billions of
dollars in real life.
394
00:15:49,082 --> 00:15:51,952
Now you're losing billions
to create a fake life?
395
00:15:52,085 --> 00:15:52,953
So what now?
396
00:15:53,086 --> 00:15:54,188
There's legs in the Metaverse.
397
00:15:54,288 --> 00:15:57,391
Oh, wow, we got legs in
the Metaverse now, yeah!
398
00:15:57,491 --> 00:15:58,392
You know what else?
399
00:15:58,492 --> 00:15:59,660
There's legs right here.
400
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,095
We got legs here already, OK?
401
00:16:02,196 --> 00:16:05,365
The guy who created
an infinite universe
402
00:16:05,465 --> 00:16:09,036
that could be anything,
and you made legs, OK.
403
00:16:09,069 --> 00:16:13,040
Not Jetpack legs, not
teleporting legs, just legs.
404
00:16:13,140 --> 00:16:14,341
Just legs.
405
00:16:14,441 --> 00:16:16,677
What else are you going to
invent in your magic world?
406
00:16:16,777 --> 00:16:20,247
College debt?
407
00:16:20,347 --> 00:16:26,653
Yo, even Kanye is looking
at this, going like,
408
00:16:27,654 --> 00:16:28,555
yo, what are you doing, man?
409
00:16:28,655 --> 00:16:30,958
You're making our
people look bad.
410
00:16:31,058 --> 00:16:34,661
And who here wants to be in
a Metaverse made by Facebook?
411
00:16:34,761 --> 00:16:36,630
I've never been on Facebook
and said, you know what?
412
00:16:36,730 --> 00:16:39,833
I wish this was in
three dimensions.
413
00:16:39,933 --> 00:16:42,169
How can I physically
interact with this post
414
00:16:42,269 --> 00:16:44,671
from a 60-year-old woman who
was annoyed that no one spoke
415
00:16:44,771 --> 00:16:47,107
English at the drugstore?
416
00:16:47,207 --> 00:16:50,677
What kind of dork with
nothing but time on his hands
417
00:16:50,777 --> 00:16:52,579
would even be excited
about the Metaverse?
418
00:16:52,679 --> 00:16:53,814
All right?
419
00:16:53,914 --> 00:16:56,416
I mean, look at what people
are tweeting about it.
420
00:16:56,517 --> 00:16:57,484
Look at this.
421
00:16:57,584 --> 00:17:00,854
Random idiots.
422
00:17:01,021 --> 00:17:01,855
"Wow.
423
00:17:02,022 --> 00:17:04,191
I just used VR for
the first time.
424
00:17:04,291 --> 00:17:05,592
Mind-blowing!
425
00:17:05,692 --> 00:17:10,564
I can't imagine what it'll be
like when it's basically real.
426
00:17:10,664 --> 00:17:13,033
You can't imagine what
it'll be like if it's real?
427
00:17:13,133 --> 00:17:14,835
Why don't you take off
the [bleep] headset.
428
00:17:14,935 --> 00:17:16,103
Just look around.
429
00:17:16,203 --> 00:17:17,171
It's happening right now.
430
00:17:17,271 --> 00:17:20,407
Reality is right here.
431
00:17:20,507 --> 00:17:23,110
Who is this dumb effing idiot?
432
00:17:23,210 --> 00:17:25,078
Anyway, back to you, Trevor.
433
00:17:25,179 --> 00:17:27,147
I think that tweet
made some good points.
434
00:17:27,247 --> 00:17:30,484
Ronny Chang, everybody.
435
00:17:30,584 --> 00:17:31,485
I like that idea.
436
00:17:31,585 --> 00:17:32,886
All right, when we
come back, we're
437
00:17:33,053 --> 00:17:35,055
going to find out why
Vladimir Putin is acting out,
438
00:17:35,088 --> 00:17:36,890
so don't go away.
439
00:17:56,347 --> 00:17:59,050
Welcome back to
The Daily Show.
440
00:17:59,150 --> 00:18:01,652
It has been seven months
since Vladimir Putin
441
00:18:01,752 --> 00:18:04,588
went DEFCON 3 on Ukraine.
442
00:18:04,688 --> 00:18:07,625
And in the last month, Ukraine
has been kicking Russia's
443
00:18:07,725 --> 00:18:09,527
ass all up and down the map.
444
00:18:09,627 --> 00:18:10,961
They have defeated
Russian soldiers
445
00:18:11,062 --> 00:18:12,263
across the front lines.
446
00:18:12,363 --> 00:18:13,931
They blew up a
key supply bridge
447
00:18:14,031 --> 00:18:15,132
deep in Russian territory.
448
00:18:15,232 --> 00:18:17,802
And they even gave Putin's
personal email to Bed
449
00:18:17,902 --> 00:18:21,906
Bath & Beyond's mailing list.
450
00:18:22,006 --> 00:18:25,976
Anyway, another week of the war
means another week of updates.
451
00:18:26,077 --> 00:18:28,779
So let's catch up on how it's
all going in another edition
452
00:18:28,879 --> 00:18:30,381
of "Vlad Gone Mad."
453
00:18:30,481 --> 00:18:37,021
[music playing]
454
00:18:38,022 --> 00:18:39,724
After series of
defeats, Vladimir Putin
455
00:18:39,824 --> 00:18:42,860
has been so humiliated that
it was just a matter of time
456
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:43,861
before he lashed out.
457
00:18:43,961 --> 00:18:45,396
And yesterday,
he did just that,
458
00:18:45,496 --> 00:18:48,232
launching missile strikes
against civilian targets
459
00:18:48,332 --> 00:18:50,334
all across Ukraine for the
first time since the beginning
460
00:18:50,434 --> 00:18:51,602
of the war.
461
00:18:51,669 --> 00:18:53,404
Now, unfortunately for him,
the missile strikes only
462
00:18:53,504 --> 00:18:56,340
seem to have emboldened
the Ukrainian people, who
463
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,810
went right back outside
off to the strikes
464
00:18:59,910 --> 00:19:02,780
to live their lives
and get coffee.
465
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,448
And if you ask me,
that is a testament
466
00:19:04,615 --> 00:19:06,350
to how resilient the
Ukrainian people are,
467
00:19:06,450 --> 00:19:10,454
and to how addicted
people are to coffee.
468
00:19:10,621 --> 00:19:11,689
These people were
just at Starbucks
469
00:19:11,789 --> 00:19:12,890
like, I know
missiles are coming,
470
00:19:12,990 --> 00:19:16,660
but pumpkin spice
season is very limited.
471
00:19:16,761 --> 00:19:17,661
But it turns out--
472
00:19:17,762 --> 00:19:18,729
It turns out a lot
of people don't
473
00:19:18,829 --> 00:19:19,730
know this part of the story.
474
00:19:19,830 --> 00:19:21,399
Vladimir Putin and
his people weren't
475
00:19:21,499 --> 00:19:22,633
just lashing out at Ukraine.
476
00:19:22,733 --> 00:19:23,868
No.
477
00:19:23,968 --> 00:19:26,437
They decided to take a
piece of the war to America.
478
00:19:26,537 --> 00:19:28,372
(ON TV): The TSA
is investigating
479
00:19:28,472 --> 00:19:31,409
a coordinated cyber
attack on the websites
480
00:19:31,509 --> 00:19:34,545
of more than a dozen us
airports, including LaGuardia.
481
00:19:34,645 --> 00:19:37,815
And Russian speaking hackers
are claiming responsibility.
482
00:19:37,915 --> 00:19:40,418
LaGuardia was the first to be
impacted around 3:00
483
00:19:40,518 --> 00:19:41,886
yesterday morning.
484
00:19:41,986 --> 00:19:45,222
And as of last night, Denver
International Airport's
485
00:19:45,322 --> 00:19:47,291
website was still
being attacked.
486
00:19:47,391 --> 00:19:50,294
The websites were
temporarily knocked offline.
487
00:19:50,394 --> 00:19:52,863
There were no immediate
signs of impact
488
00:19:52,963 --> 00:19:55,132
to actual air travel.
489
00:19:55,232 --> 00:19:56,767
That's right, people.
490
00:19:56,867 --> 00:20:00,604
The Russians took out websites
for some American airports.
491
00:20:00,671 --> 00:20:02,006
And please, everyone calm down.
492
00:20:02,106 --> 00:20:03,708
Calm down.
493
00:20:03,808 --> 00:20:08,012
I know we all log onto
laguardia.com see the latest
494
00:20:08,112 --> 00:20:09,980
news about which terminal
will be under construction
495
00:20:10,081 --> 00:20:11,082
for the next 17 years.
496
00:20:11,182 --> 00:20:12,850
But today, we will
all have to discover
497
00:20:12,950 --> 00:20:15,853
which area is under
construction for ourselves.
498
00:20:15,953 --> 00:20:16,854
Stay calm.
499
00:20:16,954 --> 00:20:20,891
Just stay calm.
500
00:20:20,991 --> 00:20:22,693
This is a major story, people.
501
00:20:22,793 --> 00:20:25,162
And for more on this, we go
live to our own Desi Lydic,
502
00:20:25,262 --> 00:20:26,530
who is at LaGuardia right now.
503
00:20:26,630 --> 00:20:29,800
Desi Lydic, everybody.
504
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:35,473
Desi, what is the situation
over there right now?
505
00:20:35,639 --> 00:20:36,874
Well, Trevor,
as someone who's
506
00:20:36,974 --> 00:20:39,643
been a huge fan of
LaGuardia's website
507
00:20:39,677 --> 00:20:43,881
ever since I found out it
existed at 10:45 this morning,
508
00:20:43,981 --> 00:20:46,283
let me tell you, it is chaos.
509
00:20:46,384 --> 00:20:48,586
Trash bins are overflowing.
510
00:20:48,619 --> 00:20:51,155
People are sleeping half
naked on the carpet.
511
00:20:51,255 --> 00:20:52,256
Oh no, Desi.
512
00:20:52,356 --> 00:20:54,024
That's because of the
website being down?
513
00:20:54,125 --> 00:20:56,660
No, no, this is always
LaGuardia, Trevor.
514
00:20:56,761 --> 00:21:00,231
But somehow it seems
worse right now.
515
00:21:00,331 --> 00:21:01,599
You're TSA pre-check.
516
00:21:01,699 --> 00:21:02,900
You don't know what it's like.
517
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,402
Let me tell you
how bad this is.
518
00:21:04,502 --> 00:21:06,337
All the ladies
rooms were closed
519
00:21:06,437 --> 00:21:07,638
for cleaning, all of them.
520
00:21:07,738 --> 00:21:10,975
I was forced to pee in one
of those breastfeeding pods.
521
00:21:11,075 --> 00:21:13,377
Wow, I didn't the
breastfeeding pods
522
00:21:13,477 --> 00:21:14,445
have toilets?
523
00:21:14,612 --> 00:21:17,615
No, no they don't, Trevor.
524
00:21:17,715 --> 00:21:21,318
And the babies were
super judgy about it.
525
00:21:21,419 --> 00:21:24,055
So, Desi, do you think this
is all going down because
526
00:21:24,155 --> 00:21:25,623
of the website being attacked?
527
00:21:25,723 --> 00:21:28,125
Well, clearly,
something's going on here.
528
00:21:28,225 --> 00:21:31,729
There are three Sunglass
Huts next to each other.
529
00:21:31,829 --> 00:21:34,432
And I just walked past
a bathing suit store.
530
00:21:34,532 --> 00:21:38,636
What kind of psychopath buys
a bathing suit at the airport?
531
00:21:38,669 --> 00:21:42,339
Did you not know
where you were going?
532
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:47,111
Anyway, the good news
is, I found the Cinnabon.
533
00:21:47,211 --> 00:21:48,746
Wait, that's-- Oh, that's.
534
00:21:48,846 --> 00:21:51,649
OK, well, Desi, did you learn
anything valuable that you can
535
00:21:51,749 --> 00:21:53,317
report to our viewers at home?
536
00:21:53,417 --> 00:21:55,019
Oh, my god.
537
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:56,020
Yeah.
538
00:21:56,120 --> 00:21:58,089
(MUFFLED) Do not
come to LaGuardia
539
00:21:58,189 --> 00:22:01,425
unless you absolutely need to.
540
00:22:01,592 --> 00:22:02,426
I'm sorry.
541
00:22:02,593 --> 00:22:04,361
Desi, there was
Cinnabon in your mouth.
542
00:22:04,462 --> 00:22:05,596
What did you say?
- Yeah, yeah.
543
00:22:05,696 --> 00:22:06,964
Hold on.
I'm sorry.
544
00:22:07,064 --> 00:22:08,999
TREVOR NOAH: Yeah, we can't
hear what you're saying, Desi.
545
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:10,000
Hold on.
546
00:22:10,101 --> 00:22:11,202
I'm going to get
something to drink.
547
00:22:11,302 --> 00:22:16,073
TREVOR NOAH: Yeah.
548
00:22:16,173 --> 00:22:17,441
Just a second.
Hang on.
549
00:22:17,608 --> 00:22:18,442
TREVOR NOAH: That's a--
550
00:22:18,609 --> 00:22:21,312
gah!
551
00:22:21,412 --> 00:22:25,816
Mm, surprisingly good.
552
00:22:25,916 --> 00:22:28,386
Anyway, please do
not come to LaGuardia
553
00:22:28,486 --> 00:22:30,187
unless you absolutely need to.
554
00:22:30,287 --> 00:22:32,490
Yeah well, why would
anyone go to LaGuardia
555
00:22:32,623 --> 00:22:34,458
if they don't need to?
556
00:22:34,625 --> 00:22:35,459
I don't know.
557
00:22:35,626 --> 00:22:37,361
For a Cinnabon?
558
00:22:37,461 --> 00:22:38,362
Powerful reporting.
559
00:22:38,462 --> 00:22:41,132
Desi Lydic, everybody.
560
00:22:44,568 --> 00:22:49,139
[applause]
561
00:22:49,239 --> 00:22:50,507
Welcome back to
The Daily Show.
562
00:22:50,608 --> 00:22:54,778
My guest tonight is a former
DC Metropolitan police officer
563
00:22:54,878 --> 00:22:56,614
who nearly lost
his life defending
564
00:22:56,714 --> 00:22:59,583
the US Capitol during the
insurrection on January 6.
565
00:22:59,683 --> 00:23:02,186
He writes about that
and policing in America
566
00:23:02,286 --> 00:23:05,589
in his new book, Hold the Line,
the Insurrection and One Cop's
567
00:23:05,689 --> 00:23:06,657
Battle for America's Soul.
568
00:23:06,757 --> 00:23:08,359
Please welcome Michael Fanone.
569
00:23:08,459 --> 00:23:11,729
[music playing]
570
00:23:11,829 --> 00:23:12,730
Welcome to the show.
571
00:23:12,830 --> 00:23:13,731
Thank you very much.
572
00:23:13,831 --> 00:23:16,634
[music playing]
573
00:23:16,734 --> 00:23:20,537
[applause]
574
00:23:20,638 --> 00:23:22,139
Michael Fanone, welcome
to The Daily Show.
575
00:23:22,239 --> 00:23:23,374
Yeah, thanks for
having me, man.
576
00:23:23,474 --> 00:23:24,541
I appreciate it.
577
00:23:24,642 --> 00:23:27,845
You have written
a book that would
578
00:23:27,945 --> 00:23:31,515
have been remarkable even
before January 6 happened.
579
00:23:31,615 --> 00:23:34,918
You know, you've lived a
life in law enforcement.
580
00:23:35,019 --> 00:23:36,587
You have a really
interesting story
581
00:23:36,687 --> 00:23:38,389
in and around law enforcement.
582
00:23:38,489 --> 00:23:42,226
But there is no denying that
January 6 is a day, you know,
583
00:23:42,326 --> 00:23:43,861
that America will
probably never forget,
584
00:23:43,961 --> 00:23:47,531
and a day that will be etched
into your memory forever.
585
00:23:47,631 --> 00:23:50,334
Some people have
seen the footage.
586
00:23:50,434 --> 00:23:52,903
And those who have have
all said the same thing--
587
00:23:53,003 --> 00:23:53,904
it is harrowing.
588
00:23:54,004 --> 00:23:56,907
But you actually
experienced that.
589
00:23:57,007 --> 00:24:01,478
If you wouldn't mind, take
me through not what happened,
590
00:24:01,578 --> 00:24:05,449
but how you feel about
people commenting on that day
591
00:24:05,549 --> 00:24:07,184
as if it wasn't a big deal.
592
00:24:07,284 --> 00:24:08,719
You know, many people
say wasn't that bad,
593
00:24:08,819 --> 00:24:11,355
it wasn't an insurrection,
it wasn't-- this was just--
594
00:24:11,455 --> 00:24:12,356
you know, it was calm.
595
00:24:12,456 --> 00:24:13,357
People need to relax.
596
00:24:13,457 --> 00:24:14,358
You were actually there.
597
00:24:14,458 --> 00:24:15,559
You were actually
one of the people
598
00:24:15,659 --> 00:24:17,261
trying to stop those
who were trying
599
00:24:17,361 --> 00:24:18,295
to come into the Capitol.
600
00:24:18,395 --> 00:24:19,596
What was your experience?
601
00:24:19,697 --> 00:24:23,067
And how different is it from
what people try and claim?
602
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,202
I mean, I remember the
brutality of that day
603
00:24:25,269 --> 00:24:28,205
like it was yesterday.
604
00:24:28,238 --> 00:24:31,609
And hearing people,
you know, especially
605
00:24:31,709 --> 00:24:35,679
lawmakers, elected so-called
leaders of this country,
606
00:24:35,779 --> 00:24:40,985
downplay or deny the
reality of that day, I mean,
607
00:24:41,085 --> 00:24:43,354
to say it's infuriating
is an understatement.
608
00:24:43,454 --> 00:24:48,258
I mean, it pisses
me the [bleep] off.
609
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,326
Yeah.
610
00:24:49,426 --> 00:24:51,028
I don't know what
it felt like for you.
611
00:24:51,161 --> 00:24:53,430
I mean, you suffered
extreme injuries.
612
00:24:53,530 --> 00:24:56,000
How are you doing
now, by the way?
613
00:24:56,166 --> 00:25:00,037
I mean, I'm good,
like, physically.
614
00:25:00,170 --> 00:25:03,841
Mentally, I feel
like I've had a lot
615
00:25:03,941 --> 00:25:10,314
of time to come to terms with
what I experienced that day.
616
00:25:10,414 --> 00:25:12,950
But, I mean, a big part
of writing this book
617
00:25:13,050 --> 00:25:15,552
was not just to
memorialize what
618
00:25:15,653 --> 00:25:18,188
I did, but also what so many
other officers did that day.
619
00:25:18,222 --> 00:25:19,189
TREVOR NOAH: Right.
620
00:25:19,290 --> 00:25:21,091
And, you know, there's
a lot of them that
621
00:25:21,191 --> 00:25:23,594
are out there that are
suffering in silence, that
622
00:25:23,694 --> 00:25:26,630
didn't get the acknowledgment
that I've gotten,
623
00:25:26,730 --> 00:25:29,600
and that have kind of been--
624
00:25:29,700 --> 00:25:31,402
or at least feel that
they've been forgotten.
625
00:25:31,502 --> 00:25:32,670
Because you were
one of I think
626
00:25:32,770 --> 00:25:36,240
it was 850 officers who
rushed to protect the Capitol
627
00:25:36,340 --> 00:25:37,975
during that moment.
628
00:25:38,075 --> 00:25:40,010
You were one of
the many officers
629
00:25:40,110 --> 00:25:44,048
who were attacked by this
mob who was rushing in.
630
00:25:44,148 --> 00:25:48,218
One of the darkest ironies
in some of that footage
631
00:25:48,319 --> 00:25:52,256
is you being beaten by a
mob where they're holding
632
00:25:52,356 --> 00:25:53,757
a Blue Lives Matter flag.
633
00:25:53,857 --> 00:25:55,726
And, you know, I've
often said, one thing
634
00:25:55,826 --> 00:25:57,328
that perturbs me
in America is how
635
00:25:57,428 --> 00:26:00,297
people will use the idea of
either the military or law
636
00:26:00,397 --> 00:26:02,833
enforcement to further
their narrative,
637
00:26:02,933 --> 00:26:04,501
but it seems like
they don't actually
638
00:26:04,602 --> 00:26:06,370
have that same
reverence for actual law
639
00:26:06,470 --> 00:26:07,905
enforcement or military.
640
00:26:08,005 --> 00:26:09,573
You know, you see people,
veterans being homeless,
641
00:26:09,673 --> 00:26:13,077
or you see law enforcement
treated like yourself.
642
00:26:13,177 --> 00:26:14,278
Do those people
even acknowledge
643
00:26:14,378 --> 00:26:15,279
what was happening?
644
00:26:15,379 --> 00:26:16,313
Did they see you?
645
00:26:16,413 --> 00:26:17,781
Did they acknowledge
you as a human?
646
00:26:17,881 --> 00:26:18,949
Could you communicate
with them?
647
00:26:19,049 --> 00:26:21,185
Or did it feel like
they were going
648
00:26:21,251 --> 00:26:24,555
through you at all costs?
649
00:26:24,655 --> 00:26:27,858
I mean, there was a
point where, you know,
650
00:26:27,958 --> 00:26:30,561
I remember yelling out to
the crowd that I had kids.
651
00:26:30,661 --> 00:26:32,229
And this is while
I was being beaten
652
00:26:32,329 --> 00:26:34,431
and struck with a taser.
653
00:26:34,531 --> 00:26:38,302
And I did, I think, get
through to maybe a handful
654
00:26:38,402 --> 00:26:39,703
of the individuals there.
655
00:26:39,803 --> 00:26:41,905
And they did try to, you know,
offer some level of assistance
656
00:26:42,006 --> 00:26:42,906
to me.
657
00:26:43,007 --> 00:26:44,141
I mean, I remember,
at one point,
658
00:26:44,208 --> 00:26:47,745
they were actually
fighting with other rioters
659
00:26:47,845 --> 00:26:50,381
to try to prevent
them from continuing
660
00:26:50,481 --> 00:26:51,749
their assault on me.
661
00:26:51,849 --> 00:26:52,983
TREVOR NOAH: Right.
662
00:26:53,150 --> 00:26:55,686
But, you know, for the
most part, I think they just
663
00:26:55,786 --> 00:26:58,155
felt like I was an obstacle.
664
00:26:58,255 --> 00:27:00,658
And they were going to
get through me and any
665
00:27:00,758 --> 00:27:02,960
of the other officers that
were there trying to protect
666
00:27:03,060 --> 00:27:05,696
the building and
protect ourselves
667
00:27:05,796 --> 00:27:08,866
to accomplish their goal,
which was overturning
668
00:27:08,966 --> 00:27:10,901
a free and fair election.
669
00:27:11,001 --> 00:27:14,638
When you look at how
lawmakers have responded--
670
00:27:14,738 --> 00:27:16,874
you know, in the book,
you talk about this.
671
00:27:16,974 --> 00:27:20,177
And it's been really
scary and disappointing
672
00:27:20,277 --> 00:27:22,513
to see how lawmakers
have spoken
673
00:27:22,613 --> 00:27:24,581
either to you in private
or to any of the officers
674
00:27:24,682 --> 00:27:25,649
who were there.
675
00:27:25,749 --> 00:27:27,618
And it seems like the
way they responded
676
00:27:27,718 --> 00:27:29,553
on that day and the things
that they said behind
677
00:27:29,653 --> 00:27:31,822
closed doors are very
different to what they
678
00:27:31,922 --> 00:27:33,991
now say when they're
on TV downplaying
679
00:27:34,091 --> 00:27:35,326
everything that happens.
680
00:27:35,426 --> 00:27:37,194
For instance, you're really
critical of Lindsey Graham,
681
00:27:37,261 --> 00:27:38,262
for instance.
682
00:27:38,362 --> 00:27:39,897
And I'd love to know,
has it been strange
683
00:27:39,997 --> 00:27:42,833
for you to see him then
publicly downplay the event
684
00:27:42,933 --> 00:27:45,135
after saying to you, you should
have killed these people,
685
00:27:45,169 --> 00:27:47,671
and then publicly say it
wasn't as bad as everyone says?
686
00:27:47,771 --> 00:27:50,040
Nothing shocks me
anymore after all the time
687
00:27:50,140 --> 00:27:52,776
that I spent not only as a
police officer for 20 years,
688
00:27:52,876 --> 00:27:55,346
but the time I spent
on Capitol Hill.
689
00:27:55,446 --> 00:27:56,413
I mean, it's unfortunate.
690
00:27:56,513 --> 00:27:59,383
I think not just
Republican lawmakers--
691
00:27:59,483 --> 00:28:05,155
although they do deserve
quite a bit of the scrutiny
692
00:28:05,222 --> 00:28:06,890
that they're getting right now.
693
00:28:06,991 --> 00:28:10,427
But lawmakers in
general and how
694
00:28:10,527 --> 00:28:14,498
they are indifferent
to the people
695
00:28:14,598 --> 00:28:18,702
that they are elected
to represent and serve.
696
00:28:18,802 --> 00:28:23,173
I mean, that was the main
takeaway that I got was people
697
00:28:23,274 --> 00:28:25,342
like Kevin McCarthy,
Lindsey Graham,
698
00:28:25,442 --> 00:28:28,512
a lot of these lawmakers, they
saw me as an inconvenience.
699
00:28:28,612 --> 00:28:31,749
And they were indifferent
to what my experience was
700
00:28:31,849 --> 00:28:34,818
and what the experience of many
of the other officers that
701
00:28:34,918 --> 00:28:35,986
day were.
702
00:28:36,086 --> 00:28:37,354
TREVOR NOAH: Right.
703
00:28:37,454 --> 00:28:39,456
And they were indifferent to
the experience that, you know,
704
00:28:39,556 --> 00:28:41,925
what America is
experiencing right
705
00:28:42,026 --> 00:28:46,897
now under their
half-assed representation.
706
00:28:46,997 --> 00:28:50,434
In the book, you speak
to so many of these ideas.
707
00:28:50,534 --> 00:28:52,569
And you have a really
interesting journey.
708
00:28:52,670 --> 00:28:56,273
You know, like, I didn't
know about your history
709
00:28:56,373 --> 00:28:57,942
in law enforcement
until I read this book.
710
00:28:58,042 --> 00:29:00,411
And, you know, just
talking about your tattoos,
711
00:29:00,511 --> 00:29:02,680
and the work that you did
working undercover narcotics,
712
00:29:02,780 --> 00:29:04,615
and how you had the nickname--
713
00:29:04,715 --> 00:29:06,183
I think it was the
Spider-Man, right?
714
00:29:06,283 --> 00:29:07,184
Yes.
715
00:29:07,284 --> 00:29:08,319
And you were
notorious for, like--
716
00:29:08,419 --> 00:29:09,386
I think you were
a rock climber.
717
00:29:09,486 --> 00:29:10,454
Do you still climb?
718
00:29:10,554 --> 00:29:11,455
I do.
719
00:29:11,555 --> 00:29:12,589
You still have the skills?
720
00:29:12,690 --> 00:29:13,657
Yeah.
721
00:29:13,757 --> 00:29:15,025
I mean, I wouldn't
say I have the skills,
722
00:29:15,159 --> 00:29:16,493
but I give it a shot.
723
00:29:16,593 --> 00:29:17,761
OK, OK.
724
00:29:17,861 --> 00:29:19,697
But, no, it was really
interesting because, like, you
725
00:29:19,797 --> 00:29:20,898
were connected.
726
00:29:20,998 --> 00:29:22,599
It was almost-- you know,
it was a double entendre
727
00:29:22,700 --> 00:29:24,468
because you were connected
and, you know, the people
728
00:29:24,568 --> 00:29:25,569
in the community knew you.
729
00:29:25,669 --> 00:29:27,438
But you also would climb
up to perch yourself
730
00:29:27,538 --> 00:29:30,307
for sting operations and
to be in the right place
731
00:29:30,407 --> 00:29:33,177
for what you were doing.
732
00:29:33,243 --> 00:29:35,212
What's interesting is
how you talk about law
733
00:29:35,312 --> 00:29:36,380
enforcement in the book.
734
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,584
It's a longer conversation
than just January 6.
735
00:29:40,684 --> 00:29:44,188
And you share some really
interesting insights
736
00:29:44,288 --> 00:29:48,759
about how you see the failings
of American law enforcement
737
00:29:48,859 --> 00:29:51,428
and how it is
incongruous with what
738
00:29:51,528 --> 00:29:52,796
it's actually trying to do.
739
00:29:52,896 --> 00:29:55,799
For instance, talking about
how to bring down drug rates,
740
00:29:55,899 --> 00:29:58,502
drug crimes, drug
usage, et cetera.
741
00:29:58,602 --> 00:30:01,839
You don't seem to be
pro-locking everybody up
742
00:30:01,939 --> 00:30:03,340
with every minor infraction.
743
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,676
I'd love to know why.
744
00:30:05,776 --> 00:30:08,946
I mean, I learned pretty
early on in my career--
745
00:30:09,046 --> 00:30:13,784
I mean, for me, I aspired
only to be a vice officer,
746
00:30:13,884 --> 00:30:15,386
to work in narcotics.
747
00:30:15,486 --> 00:30:16,754
I mean, that was,
like, the pinnacle.
748
00:30:16,854 --> 00:30:19,623
I never sought promotion,
was not interested
749
00:30:19,723 --> 00:30:22,192
in supervising other officers.
750
00:30:22,293 --> 00:30:24,461
I can barely supervise myself.
751
00:30:24,561 --> 00:30:28,198
So, I mean, for me, the
pinnacle of my career
752
00:30:28,299 --> 00:30:29,900
was when I went to vice.
753
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,703
And, like I said, I saw--
754
00:30:32,803 --> 00:30:38,542
you know, the idea of
going out and going
755
00:30:38,642 --> 00:30:42,880
into an area in which violent
crime was prevalent, where
756
00:30:42,980 --> 00:30:46,483
open-air drug markets
existed, and locking up
757
00:30:46,583 --> 00:30:49,486
hundreds and hundreds
of people, that
758
00:30:49,586 --> 00:30:52,489
was not solving the problems.
759
00:30:52,589 --> 00:30:54,558
It was not addressing
violent crime.
760
00:30:54,658 --> 00:30:58,529
It was not addressing the
open-air drug markets.
761
00:30:58,629 --> 00:31:05,369
What I saw was a need for
much more surgical precision
762
00:31:05,469 --> 00:31:10,441
strikes, if you will, against
very specific individuals
763
00:31:10,541 --> 00:31:13,143
who are committing
these violent crimes
764
00:31:13,177 --> 00:31:16,947
in those neighborhoods.
765
00:31:17,047 --> 00:31:18,649
Quality over quantity.
766
00:31:18,749 --> 00:31:19,917
Right.
767
00:31:20,017 --> 00:31:25,289
Unfortunately, whether it
was through laziness or--
768
00:31:25,389 --> 00:31:27,958
and, again, it is complicated.
769
00:31:28,058 --> 00:31:32,896
Law enforcement had opted for--
770
00:31:32,997 --> 00:31:36,967
we looked at success as
the quantity of arrests.
771
00:31:37,067 --> 00:31:39,503
How many arrests were
made in a specific area,
772
00:31:39,603 --> 00:31:42,439
that's how we
determined that we were
773
00:31:42,539 --> 00:31:45,109
being successful in that area.
774
00:31:45,175 --> 00:31:47,745
But it wasn't-- as a lot
of people might think,
775
00:31:47,845 --> 00:31:53,117
it was not fueled by law
enforcement officials.
776
00:31:53,217 --> 00:31:57,254
That actually came
from our city council
777
00:31:57,354 --> 00:31:59,123
and from the mayor's office.
778
00:31:59,223 --> 00:32:02,593
I mean, these concepts--
779
00:32:02,693 --> 00:32:05,462
I guess, to streamline
the explanation,
780
00:32:05,562 --> 00:32:07,598
you would have--
citizens would complain
781
00:32:07,698 --> 00:32:12,136
about an area in which
there was a large amount
782
00:32:12,236 --> 00:32:13,437
of violent crime or drugs.
783
00:32:13,537 --> 00:32:14,438
TREVOR NOAH: Yeah.
784
00:32:14,538 --> 00:32:15,739
And then you would have--
785
00:32:15,839 --> 00:32:19,276
politicians would, you know,
receive those complaints,
786
00:32:19,376 --> 00:32:21,145
and they would forward them
on to the police department.
787
00:32:21,245 --> 00:32:23,147
And they would want to know,
what is the police department
788
00:32:23,247 --> 00:32:24,648
doing to address this issue?
789
00:32:24,748 --> 00:32:26,150
They want results now.
790
00:32:26,183 --> 00:32:27,451
They want officers out there.
791
00:32:27,551 --> 00:32:29,286
They want them out
there making arrests.
792
00:32:29,386 --> 00:32:31,422
And they want to be able to
go back to these citizens
793
00:32:31,522 --> 00:32:35,826
and say, well, we made these
arrests, and that's success.
794
00:32:35,926 --> 00:32:40,197
So, again, it's not--
you know, law enforcement
795
00:32:40,297 --> 00:32:41,699
has a role to play.
796
00:32:41,799 --> 00:32:43,701
Politicians have
their role to play.
797
00:32:43,801 --> 00:32:45,402
And citizens have
their role to play.
798
00:32:45,502 --> 00:32:49,139
The issue is not as comp-- or
it's not as simple as I think
799
00:32:49,239 --> 00:32:52,042
a lot of people would think.
800
00:32:52,142 --> 00:32:54,478
And, again, another
big point that I tried
801
00:32:54,578 --> 00:32:57,381
to make in my book is that I
feel like the politicians are
802
00:32:57,481 --> 00:33:00,684
failing us in that
their role to play
803
00:33:00,784 --> 00:33:04,254
is to facilitate positive,
constructive conversations
804
00:33:04,355 --> 00:33:06,757
between law enforcement
and the people that
805
00:33:06,857 --> 00:33:08,726
were charged with serving.
806
00:33:08,826 --> 00:33:12,229
And, right now, I don't feel
like that's what's happening.
807
00:33:12,329 --> 00:33:14,064
It's a really
complicated journey.
808
00:33:14,164 --> 00:33:18,802
And I think it's
revealing, it is honest,
809
00:33:18,902 --> 00:33:21,138
and it's a painful
account of what
810
00:33:21,238 --> 00:33:22,273
you went through on that day.
811
00:33:22,373 --> 00:33:25,242
And, as you said, with
the 800 plus officers
812
00:33:25,342 --> 00:33:26,510
who also stepped up.
813
00:33:26,610 --> 00:33:27,845
Thank you so much
for taking the time.
814
00:33:27,945 --> 00:33:29,146
I appreciate you for
being on the show.
815
00:33:29,246 --> 00:33:30,614
Thanks for having me.
Thank you.
816
00:33:30,714 --> 00:33:31,882
[applause]
817
00:33:31,982 --> 00:33:34,385
All right, everybody, Hold
the Line is available now
818
00:33:34,485 --> 00:33:35,986
wherever you find your books.
819
00:33:36,086 --> 00:33:36,987
Michael Fanone, everybody.
820
00:33:37,087 --> 00:33:38,088
We're going to
take a quick break.
821
00:33:38,188 --> 00:33:39,523
We'll be right back after this.
822
00:33:39,623 --> 00:33:40,524
Thank you so much.
823
00:33:40,624 --> 00:33:43,694
[applause]
824
00:33:53,617 --> 00:33:54,918
Well, that's our
show for tonight.
825
00:33:55,018 --> 00:33:57,554
But, before we
go-- before we go,
826
00:33:57,654 --> 00:33:59,656
The Daily Show's
official VOTEDEMIC
827
00:33:59,756 --> 00:34:01,525
2022 merch has just dropped.
828
00:34:01,625 --> 00:34:04,595
Proceeds from select items
will benefit HeadCount,
829
00:34:04,695 --> 00:34:07,364
a non-partisan, non-profit
organization that
830
00:34:07,464 --> 00:34:09,266
promotes voter registration.
831
00:34:09,366 --> 00:34:11,969
So if you want to support
HeadCount and look fresh
832
00:34:12,069 --> 00:34:13,904
on election day, scan the
QR code and head to the
833
00:34:14,004 --> 00:34:15,072
link below.
834
00:34:15,172 --> 00:34:16,707
Until next time,
stay safe out there.
835
00:34:16,807 --> 00:34:21,011
And remember, don't skip
leg day because you'll
836
00:34:21,111 --> 00:34:22,279
need it in the metaverse.
837
00:34:22,379 --> 00:34:24,214
Now here it is,
your moment of zen.
838
00:34:24,314 --> 00:34:26,884
Is it Indigenous Peoples'
Day, or is it Columbus Day?
839
00:34:26,984 --> 00:34:28,886
It's Columbus Day!
840
00:34:28,986 --> 00:34:30,287
Let's say you were
Christopher Columbus.
841
00:34:30,387 --> 00:34:31,388
You come to America.
842
00:34:31,488 --> 00:34:33,557
How would you handle
the Native Americans?
843
00:34:33,657 --> 00:34:35,692
Give them pasta
fazool and some lasagna
844
00:34:35,793 --> 00:34:37,961
and homemade wine.
