Kennedy was president. 89 00:03:43,690 --> 00:03:46,326 This is a very happy day. 90 00:03:46,426 --> 00:03:48,295 REPORTER: With at least 50 seats and Vice President 91 00:03:48,395 --> 00:03:49,997 Kamala Harris's tie-breaking vote, 92 00:03:50,097 --> 00:03:53,734 Democrats now keep control of the upper chamber, regardless 93 00:03:53,834 --> 00:03:55,569 of the outcome of Georgia's Senate runoff 94 00:03:55,669 --> 00:03:57,137 slated for December 6. 95 00:03:57,237 --> 00:03:59,439 Holding the Senate gives President Biden and his party 96 00:03:59,540 --> 00:04:01,241 control over the legislative agenda 97 00:04:01,341 --> 00:04:04,144 there and, critically, judicial confirmations, 98 00:04:04,244 --> 00:04:07,548 including the Supreme Court if another seat opens up. 99 00:04:07,648 --> 00:04:08,715 That's right. 100 00:04:08,815 --> 00:04:11,485 Now that Nevada and Arizona have been called, 101 00:04:11,585 --> 00:04:15,189 the Democrats have officially kept control of the Senate 102 00:04:15,289 --> 00:04:18,458 for another two years, which is a huge surprise. 103 00:04:18,559 --> 00:04:20,060 I mean, when Chuck Schumer heard that happened, 104 00:04:20,127 --> 00:04:22,696 his glasses nearly fell right off his face. 105 00:04:22,796 --> 00:04:24,064 I mean, at least I'm assuming that's why 106 00:04:24,131 --> 00:04:26,133 they're down there, right? 107 00:04:26,233 --> 00:04:28,068 And remember-- remember, the reason this is so important 108 00:04:28,101 --> 00:04:31,071 is because keeping the Senate means that Democrats can keep 109 00:04:31,138 --> 00:04:33,874 confirming judges, including Supreme Court 110 00:04:33,974 --> 00:04:36,877 Justices, like if any of them retire, or let's say, 111 00:04:36,977 --> 00:04:39,980 I don't know, gets like a DUI, you know? 112 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,114 I still like beer. 113 00:04:41,215 --> 00:04:45,686 My man. 114 00:04:45,786 --> 00:04:50,157 But-- but remember, if Republicans take control 115 00:04:50,257 --> 00:04:52,993 of the House, then every dream the Democrats have 116 00:04:53,093 --> 00:04:55,963 of codifying Roe v. Wade, or taxing the rich, 117 00:04:56,096 --> 00:05:00,334 or turning Pete Buttigieg into a real boy, they can't do it. 118 00:05:00,434 --> 00:05:02,069 I mean, they probably weren't going to do it anyway, 119 00:05:02,169 --> 00:05:03,270 but now they have someone to blame. 120 00:05:03,370 --> 00:05:05,739 Those pesky Republicans! 121 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,141 Now, of course, there's still the Georgia runoff in December 122 00:05:08,242 --> 00:05:10,244 between Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker, 123 00:05:10,344 --> 00:05:12,379 which the Democrats don't need anymore. 124 00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:15,148 They don't need to win in order to control the Senate. 125 00:05:15,249 --> 00:05:18,852 But it would give them extra cushion for when Joe Manchin 126 00:05:18,952 --> 00:05:22,289 tries to cock block them, or Kyrsten Sinema goes rogue, 127 00:05:22,389 --> 00:05:25,192 or Bernie Sanders misses a vote because he's arguing 128 00:05:25,292 --> 00:05:26,593 with a grocery store manager. 129 00:05:26,693 --> 00:05:29,696 It's just-- shove that apple pie up your ass. 130 00:05:29,796 --> 00:05:31,265 I want to pay with a check. 131 00:05:31,365 --> 00:05:32,266 Wait, hold on. 132 00:05:32,366 --> 00:05:33,567 I wrote the wrong date. 133 00:05:33,667 --> 00:05:36,503 Give me another chance. 134 00:05:36,603 --> 00:05:38,138 So we're going to have to wait until December 135 00:05:38,238 --> 00:05:39,973 to see what the final count in the Senate is. 136 00:05:40,073 --> 00:05:43,710 And really, that race can go either way. 137 00:05:43,810 --> 00:05:47,848 But can we just admit, now that the stakes are a little lower, 138 00:05:47,948 --> 00:05:49,550 you kind of want to see what Herschel Walker 139 00:05:49,650 --> 00:05:50,884 would be like as a senator? 140 00:05:50,984 --> 00:05:52,653 I'm not saying they should. 141 00:05:52,753 --> 00:05:54,521 I'm not saying they should. 142 00:05:54,621 --> 00:05:56,557 And I'm not saying it would be good for Georgia 143 00:05:56,657 --> 00:05:58,325 or for the country. 144 00:05:58,425 --> 00:06:01,929 But-- but when he gets Mitch McConnell 145 00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:06,934 pregnant with another secret baby, it'll be all worth it. 146 00:06:07,034 --> 00:06:08,602 It'll be all worth it. 147 00:06:08,702 --> 00:06:13,373 [cheers and applause] 148 00:06:13,473 --> 00:06:17,277 He sent me a card and $500. 149 00:06:17,377 --> 00:06:19,046 But while the Democrats are celebrating their success 150 00:06:19,146 --> 00:06:22,049 in the midterms, Republicans are being forced to look ahead 151 00:06:22,115 --> 00:06:25,452 to 2024 and the question of who will 152 00:06:25,552 --> 00:06:28,789 take on the animated corpse of Joe Biden for the presidency. 153 00:06:28,889 --> 00:06:31,225 So obviously-- obviously, all eyes on Donald Trump, 154 00:06:31,325 --> 00:06:32,893 you know, because he's the person 155 00:06:33,060 --> 00:06:35,596 who has promised a big announcement 156 00:06:35,696 --> 00:06:39,066 from Mar-a-Lago tomorrow. 157 00:06:39,099 --> 00:06:41,668 Yeah, and no one knows what the big announcement could be. 158 00:06:41,768 --> 00:06:44,938 It could just be that he successfully walked down 159 00:06:45,072 --> 00:06:48,609 a ramp or that he finally memorized 160 00:06:48,709 --> 00:06:50,811 all the words to the McDonald's Big Mac song. 161 00:06:50,911 --> 00:06:53,380 But-- but everyone is expecting that it's 162 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,082 going to be his entry into the presidential race. 163 00:06:55,148 --> 00:06:56,083 AUDIENCE MEMBER: No! 164 00:06:56,149 --> 00:06:57,084 Yeah. 165 00:06:57,150 --> 00:06:58,519 Oh, oh. 166 00:06:58,619 --> 00:07:00,654 And there are a lot of reasons people think that Trump 167 00:07:00,754 --> 00:07:01,922 is going to run again. 168 00:07:02,022 --> 00:07:03,524 They think he wants to avoid an indictment. 169 00:07:03,624 --> 00:07:06,793 They think he thinks he's already won last time. 170 00:07:06,894 --> 00:07:08,362 It could be the fact that he has a Cinemax 171 00:07:08,462 --> 00:07:09,930 movie in the White House DVR that he 172 00:07:10,030 --> 00:07:11,498 wants to finish watching. 173 00:07:11,598 --> 00:07:13,600 Will Emanuel get back from space? 174 00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:16,036 I don't know! 175 00:07:16,103 --> 00:07:18,906 But the biggest hint that he's running again 176 00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:20,874 is that he spent a lot of time recently 177 00:07:21,041 --> 00:07:23,810 making fun of other Republicans who might think of 178 00:07:23,911 --> 00:07:25,279 running, right? 179 00:07:25,379 --> 00:07:29,116 You remember, he called Ron DeSantis Ron DeSanctimonious. 180 00:07:29,216 --> 00:07:31,051 He mocked Mike Pence's polling numbers. 181 00:07:31,118 --> 00:07:33,620 And then last week, he found something 182 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,523 to say about a new target, Virginia 183 00:07:36,623 --> 00:07:38,559 Governor Glenn Youngkin. 184 00:07:38,659 --> 00:07:40,127 On Friday, the former president 185 00:07:40,227 --> 00:07:42,963 posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, 186 00:07:43,063 --> 00:07:45,866 that Youngkin's last name, quote, "sounds Chinese." 187 00:07:45,966 --> 00:07:48,602 ANNOUNCER: The post read, in part, "Young Kin, now 188 00:07:48,702 --> 00:07:49,903 that's an interesting take. 189 00:07:50,070 --> 00:07:51,972 Sounds Chinese, doesn't it? 190 00:07:52,072 --> 00:07:55,409 Couldn't have won without me." 191 00:07:55,509 --> 00:07:59,580 You know, just when I think Trump has hit peak strange, 192 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,015 he finds a way to take it to another level. 193 00:08:02,082 --> 00:08:05,185 He's like super saying I'm strange because first of all, 194 00:08:05,285 --> 00:08:07,020 first of all, how are you so racist 195 00:08:07,054 --> 00:08:09,656 that you can make an anti-Asian remark about a white guy? 196 00:08:09,756 --> 00:08:12,426 I don't even understand that. 197 00:08:12,526 --> 00:08:15,629 And secondly, how are you so weird that you can surprise 198 00:08:15,729 --> 00:08:18,165 yourself in your own texts. 199 00:08:18,265 --> 00:08:19,633 He's the one typing, then he's like, now, 200 00:08:19,733 --> 00:08:20,634 that's an interesting take. 201 00:08:20,734 --> 00:08:22,436 You wrote it! 202 00:08:22,536 --> 00:08:24,037 Are you guys seeing what just happened? 203 00:08:24,104 --> 00:08:27,107 You typed it. 204 00:08:27,207 --> 00:08:29,276 Like, who are you? 205 00:08:29,376 --> 00:08:32,846 How does your brain work? 206 00:08:32,946 --> 00:08:36,416 The only explanation that makes sense in my head 207 00:08:36,517 --> 00:08:38,719 is that he typed the guy's name in, 208 00:08:38,819 --> 00:08:42,055 and then it autocorrected to Young Kin. 209 00:08:42,122 --> 00:08:43,724 And now Trump is having a conversation 210 00:08:43,824 --> 00:08:45,826 with his autocorrect like, wow, I never thought 211 00:08:45,926 --> 00:08:47,127 of it that way, keyboard. 212 00:08:47,227 --> 00:08:49,062 You should be my running mate. 213 00:08:49,096 --> 00:08:56,103 So smart, so strong, so clever. 214 00:08:59,873 --> 00:09:03,043 And this moment here is just another one where you realize 215 00:09:03,143 --> 00:09:06,013 that the tide is turning against Trump ever 216 00:09:06,046 --> 00:09:08,315 since the midterms because this time, 217 00:09:08,415 --> 00:09:10,651 Republicans are pushing back against him. 218 00:09:10,751 --> 00:09:12,486 Yeah, they've come out, they're like, this is not cool. 219 00:09:12,586 --> 00:09:13,487 Why are you saying this? 220 00:09:13,587 --> 00:09:14,688 They're fighting him. 221 00:09:14,788 --> 00:09:16,323 You realize if this happened before the midterms, 222 00:09:16,423 --> 00:09:18,792 Youngkin would have come out, like, why, yes, in fact, 223 00:09:18,892 --> 00:09:20,894 I am a Chinese man. 224 00:09:21,028 --> 00:09:26,200 Ni hao, y'all, and [chinese],, Mr. Trump. 225 00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:28,335 But let's move on to some financial news. 226 00:09:28,435 --> 00:09:29,903 After being hailed as the future of money, 227 00:09:30,037 --> 00:09:32,573 2022 has been cryptocurrency's worst year yet. 228 00:09:32,673 --> 00:09:37,110 The crypto market has lost $1.3 trillion worldwide. 229 00:09:37,211 --> 00:09:39,446 Hundreds of cryptocurrencies have completely disappeared. 230 00:09:39,546 --> 00:09:42,149 And Matt Damon has moved on to selling Herbalife. 231 00:09:42,249 --> 00:09:45,552 And now, just when we thought the crypto world couldn't 232 00:09:45,652 --> 00:09:47,754 fall any lower, this happened. 233 00:09:47,855 --> 00:09:50,824 One popular cryptocurrency exchange is on the brink 234 00:09:50,924 --> 00:09:52,292 of collapse this morning. 235 00:09:52,392 --> 00:09:54,828 FTX filed for bankruptcy Friday, 236 00:09:54,928 --> 00:09:57,497 leaving investors scrambling and destabilizing 237 00:09:57,598 --> 00:09:59,132 the entire industry. 238 00:09:59,233 --> 00:10:00,868 REPORTER: The company's 30-year-old CEO 239 00:10:00,968 --> 00:10:05,005 Sam Bankman-Fried resigned and his $16 billion 240 00:10:05,105 --> 00:10:06,640 fortune erased. 241 00:10:06,740 --> 00:10:09,109 Bloomberg has called his meteoric fall from 242 00:10:09,209 --> 00:10:11,178 grace one of history's "greatest-ever 243 00:10:11,278 --> 00:10:12,579 destructions of wealth." 244 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,783 At its peak, the crypto exchange was worth $32 billion 245 00:10:16,884 --> 00:10:19,052 and benefited from superstar endorsements 246 00:10:19,152 --> 00:10:21,121 from Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen, 247 00:10:21,221 --> 00:10:23,423 Naomi Osaka, and Steph Curry. 248 00:10:23,524 --> 00:10:27,694 The NBA's Miami Heat had its venue renamed as FTX Arena 249 00:10:27,794 --> 00:10:28,862 just last year. 250 00:10:28,962 --> 00:10:31,465 But now that name is coming off the building. 251 00:10:31,565 --> 00:10:34,401 The downfall of FTX began earlier this month, 252 00:10:34,501 --> 00:10:36,370 when reports raised serious questions 253 00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:37,871 about its financial health. 254 00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:40,674 Those questions triggered a bank run on the exchange 255 00:10:40,774 --> 00:10:43,544 as too many customers try to withdraw their assets. 256 00:10:43,644 --> 00:10:46,847 By Thursday, Bankman-Fried was apologizing on Twitter, 257 00:10:46,947 --> 00:10:48,415 saying, quote, "I'm sorry. 258 00:10:48,515 --> 00:10:51,685 I [bleep] up and should have done better. 259 00:10:51,785 --> 00:10:55,255 Yeah, one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges 260 00:10:55,355 --> 00:10:59,293 has filed for bankruptcy, going from being worth $30 billion 261 00:10:59,393 --> 00:11:01,962 to being $8 billion in the hole. 262 00:11:02,062 --> 00:11:03,564 And do you know how hard it is to lose 263 00:11:03,664 --> 00:11:06,700 that much money overnight without buying Twitter? 264 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,070 This wasn't easy. 265 00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:12,072 [applause] 266 00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:18,512 And look-- I will say, I am glad that he apologized. 267 00:11:18,612 --> 00:11:22,316 But a tweet saying, "I [bleep] up" 268 00:11:22,416 --> 00:11:26,286 doesn't capture the enormity of what you've done. 269 00:11:26,386 --> 00:11:28,589 You know, I [bleep] is the wrong address. 270 00:11:28,689 --> 00:11:31,391 I [bleep] up is like the wrong Uber or something. 271 00:11:31,491 --> 00:11:33,694 At the very least, you've got to add like 10 more 272 00:11:33,794 --> 00:11:40,801 U's because you [bleep] up. 273 00:11:42,769 --> 00:11:46,306 And this crypto collapse is sending shockwaves everywhere, 274 00:11:46,406 --> 00:11:48,375 everywhere, from people losing billions of dollars 275 00:11:48,475 --> 00:11:50,177 to the Miami Heat being forced to change 276 00:11:50,277 --> 00:11:52,145 the name of their arena, right, now that FTX is broke. 277 00:11:52,246 --> 00:11:53,146 You saw that. 278 00:11:53,247 --> 00:11:54,515 And I'll be honest with you, I feel 279 00:11:54,615 --> 00:11:56,416 like this one is on the Heat. 280 00:11:56,517 --> 00:11:58,719 If you're going to let a company buy the naming rights 281 00:11:58,819 --> 00:12:00,254 to your arena, at least make sure it's 282 00:12:00,354 --> 00:12:01,355 an established company. 283 00:12:01,455 --> 00:12:03,624 Don't commit to some crypto startup that's 284 00:12:03,724 --> 00:12:05,759 been around for two years. 285 00:12:05,859 --> 00:12:07,594 It's like going on a first date, 286 00:12:07,694 --> 00:12:09,129 and then when the person goes to the bathroom, 287 00:12:09,229 --> 00:12:12,132 you get a lower back tattoo of their name, you know. 288 00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:15,836 He's like, yeah, there's no way this could backfire, yeah. 289 00:12:15,936 --> 00:12:17,070 Wait, it's Janice? 290 00:12:17,104 --> 00:12:20,374 I thought it was Jenny. 291 00:12:20,474 --> 00:12:21,842 And you have to admit-- you have to admit, 292 00:12:21,942 --> 00:12:25,145 it is crazy that a crypto collapse can take 293 00:12:25,245 --> 00:12:26,847 so much real money with it. 294 00:12:26,947 --> 00:12:28,081 Think about it. 295 00:12:28,115 --> 00:12:31,752 It's fake money, but people lost real savings. 296 00:12:31,852 --> 00:12:34,922 It's like finding out someone's imaginary friend died by 297 00:12:35,088 --> 00:12:36,356 driving your car off a cliff. 298 00:12:36,456 --> 00:12:37,925 You're like, how? 299 00:12:38,091 --> 00:12:39,092 Your friend wasn't real. 300 00:12:39,126 --> 00:12:43,630 They were real to me. 301 00:12:43,730 --> 00:12:45,766 And personally, I hope Tom Brady didn't invest too much 302 00:12:45,866 --> 00:12:47,968 of his money in this company because otherwise, 303 00:12:48,101 --> 00:12:49,770 he'll never be able to retire. 304 00:12:49,870 --> 00:12:51,705 He's going to be like 90 years old in a huddle, 305 00:12:51,805 --> 00:12:54,808 just like, you're going to run a post out left. 306 00:12:54,908 --> 00:12:56,577 And you block the blitz. 307 00:12:56,677 --> 00:12:58,512 And did I ever tell you about that time 308 00:12:58,612 --> 00:13:00,948 I had a friend who was a Negro baseball player, used to work 309 00:13:01,048 --> 00:13:02,216 at the pool with the kids at Amtrak, 310 00:13:02,316 --> 00:13:03,317 and the stair with the blah blah. 311 00:13:03,417 --> 00:13:04,484 My word as Joe Biden-- 312 00:13:04,585 --> 00:13:05,485 hey, come on, Jack. 313 00:13:05,586 --> 00:13:06,486 Come on. 314 00:13:06,587 --> 00:13:07,521 Let's do it. 315 00:13:07,621 --> 00:13:08,822 All right, that's it for the headlines. 316 00:13:08,922 --> 00:13:10,090 But before we go to a quick break, 317 00:13:10,190 --> 00:13:11,291 let's check in on the stock market 318 00:13:11,391 --> 00:13:17,865 with our finance expert, Michael Costa, everybody. 319 00:13:18,866 --> 00:13:21,335 Michael, absolute insanity. 320 00:13:21,435 --> 00:13:22,970 What is happening in the market today? 321 00:13:23,070 --> 00:13:25,672 Trevor, I am crushing it. 322 00:13:25,772 --> 00:13:29,343 I mean, I'm crushing it so hard that I too 323 00:13:29,443 --> 00:13:32,379 should be banned from carrying eggs because I 324 00:13:32,479 --> 00:13:34,414 would crush them, OK? 325 00:13:34,515 --> 00:13:36,149 I got a hot tip for you too, so pay attention. 326 00:13:36,250 --> 00:13:37,551 I got a hot tip for you. 327 00:13:37,651 --> 00:13:42,189 But obviously, Trevor, today, it's all about crypto and FTX, 328 00:13:42,289 --> 00:13:43,891 which collapsed last week. 329 00:13:43,991 --> 00:13:45,959 Now, this is really important. 330 00:13:46,093 --> 00:13:47,895 People are losing their third houses 331 00:13:47,995 --> 00:13:48,929 because of this, all right? 332 00:13:49,096 --> 00:13:52,332 Now, obviously, I didn't invest in FTX. 333 00:13:52,432 --> 00:13:54,902 I didn't like that Tom Brady was promoting it. 334 00:13:55,002 --> 00:13:57,104 I have a very simple investing rule. 335 00:13:57,204 --> 00:13:59,540 Don't take financial advice from people who get 336 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,875 hit in the head all day, OK? 337 00:14:02,042 --> 00:14:06,046 That's why the only athletes I listen to are swimmers, OK? 338 00:14:06,146 --> 00:14:07,481 They don't get hit in the head. 339 00:14:07,581 --> 00:14:08,916 Now, this is important. 340 00:14:09,049 --> 00:14:11,285 Wait until they're out of the pool 341 00:14:11,385 --> 00:14:13,220 to hear what they have to say. 342 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,856 Otherwise, you'd put all your money into [muffled speech] 343 00:14:15,956 --> 00:14:18,158 Wall Street. 344 00:14:18,258 --> 00:14:19,693 Pay attention to this right here. 345 00:14:19,793 --> 00:14:25,065 This 52-week low, 1.2, that's low. 346 00:14:25,098 --> 00:14:26,099 Now, I'm an expert. 347 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,534 I don't expect you to understand numbers, 348 00:14:27,634 --> 00:14:29,236 but let me explain it to you, OK? 349 00:14:29,336 --> 00:14:32,773 Zero is the bottom. 350 00:14:32,873 --> 00:14:36,076 You can't get lower than zero unless there's a wind chill. 351 00:14:36,109 --> 00:14:41,081 So look, I know this looks like the price of FTX Token. 352 00:14:41,148 --> 00:14:43,183 But what this chart actually represents 353 00:14:43,283 --> 00:14:48,255 is the age of people who trust crypto, OK? 354 00:14:48,355 --> 00:14:51,124 In November, it's like 20, 25. 355 00:14:51,225 --> 00:14:54,127 Maybe at one point it reached 30 years old. 356 00:14:54,228 --> 00:14:56,930 But now, the only group that trusts crypto, 2 357 00:14:57,097 --> 00:15:00,033 and 1/2 year olds, Trevor, OK. 358 00:15:00,133 --> 00:15:05,205 Yeah, look. 359 00:15:05,305 --> 00:15:08,342 2 and 1/2 year olds believe in crypto because they'll 360 00:15:08,442 --> 00:15:09,643 believe in anything, you know? 361 00:15:09,743 --> 00:15:12,045 They believe in Santa Claus. 362 00:15:12,145 --> 00:15:13,180 They believe in the tooth fairy. 363 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,050 They believe I actually got your nose. 364 00:15:17,084 --> 00:15:19,453 Trevor, this one kid paid me 20 bucks to give it back to him. 365 00:15:19,553 --> 00:15:20,454 I'm crushing it. 366 00:15:20,554 --> 00:15:21,455 I am crushing. 367 00:15:21,555 --> 00:15:23,457 OK, now, it's gotten so bad, if you 368 00:15:23,557 --> 00:15:25,826 ask a four-year-old about crypto, 369 00:15:25,926 --> 00:15:27,327 they'll be like, no, no, no, absolutely not. 370 00:15:27,427 --> 00:15:28,328 I'm not an idiot. 371 00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:30,063 Now, will you take me to the potty, 372 00:15:30,130 --> 00:15:31,365 so I can make a doo doo? 373 00:15:31,465 --> 00:15:33,834 All right, Trevor, why? 374 00:15:33,934 --> 00:15:35,736 Why did this happen? 375 00:15:35,836 --> 00:15:36,737 The founder. 376 00:15:36,837 --> 00:15:39,173 One man, three names. 377 00:15:39,273 --> 00:15:41,842 Sam Bankman-Fried. 378 00:15:41,942 --> 00:15:45,279 All right, look, the writing is on the wall, everybody. 379 00:15:45,379 --> 00:15:47,381 No, no, no, specifically, this wall. 380

expert? 384 00:15:59,793 --> 00:16:01,795 If that's not a warning, I don't know what is. 385 00:16:01,895 --> 00:16:04,031 Would you eat at a restaurant where the chef was named 386 00:16:04,131 -->

asking your wife's tennis coach for sex tips, 393 00:16:19,146 --> 00:16:22,316 you know, which reminds me, Jake, 394 00:16:22,416 --> 00:16:23,917 you got to call me back, dude. 395 00:16:24,051 --> 00:16:27,888 I mean-- OK, lastly, this is yet another reminder 396 00:16:28,055 --> 00:16:29,590 that we shouldn't automatically assume 397 00:16:29,690 --> 00:16:33,260 that nerdy, quirky-looking people are geniuses, right? 398 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,595 The same way you've got to be careful 399 00:16:34,695 --> 00:16:37,931 with these handsome guys on TV in their suits, 400 00:16:38,065

00:16:43,537 --> 00:16:45,272 them with their life savings. 404 00:16:45,372 --> 00:16:48,842 It's disgusting. 405 00:16:48,942 --> 00:16:51,378 By the way, I got a hot tip for you. 406 00:16:51,478

semi-legal on Twitter. 438 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,783 If you see a verified account, please assume that it's fake. 439 00:18:02,883 --> 00:18:04,518 All right, fake tweet alert, everyone. 440

name and your bio have to say-- 450 00:18:26,206 --> 00:18:28,041 look in the mirror and say parody three times. 451 00:18:28,141 --> 00:18:31,945 New policy, you now have to pay $8 a month to not be verified. 452 00:18:32,045 --> 00:18:33,747 Well, hope that cleared things up. 453 00:18:33,847 --> 00:18:36,049 Thanks for using Twitter, everyone. 454 00:18:36,516 --> 00:18:42,956 [cheering] 455 00:18:43,957 --> 00:18:46,259 Welcome back to The Daily Show. 456 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,963 This weekend was the premiere of the new Black Panther 457 00:18:50,063 --> 00:18:51,731 movie, Wakanda Forever. 458 00:18:51,831 --> 00:18:53,333 But did you know that T'Challa is 459 00:18:53,433 --> 00:18:55,101 not the first Black superhero? 460 00:18:55,201 --> 00:18:56,970 Well, for more, we turn to Roy Wood, Jr. 461 00:18:57,070 --> 00:18:59,205 in another episode of CP Time. 462 00:18:59,306 --> 00:19:05,979 [music playing] 463 00:19:06,980 --> 00:19:08,882 Ah, good whiskey. 464 00:19:08,982 --> 00:19:13,453 Welcome to CP Time, the only show that's full of culture. 465 00:19:13,553 --> 00:19:17,524 Today, we'll be discussing Black superheroes. 466 00:19:17,624 --> 00:19:21,962 Iconic characters like Falcon, War Machine, Cyborg, 467 00:19:22,062 --> 00:19:23,863 and the dude at Church's Chicken who puts onion 468 00:19:23,964 --> 00:19:26,032 rings in your bag of fries. 469 00:19:26,132 --> 00:19:29,035 That brother uses his powers for good. 470 00:19:29,135 --> 00:19:31,538 Black superheroes or not new. 471 00:19:31,638 --> 00:19:35,108 In fact, they've been squeezing into Spandex for decades. 472 00:19:35,208 --> 00:19:39,112 They did it as far back as 1936 when cartoonist Jay 473 00:19:39,145 --> 00:19:42,883 Jackson created Speed Jackson in the Chicago 474 00:19:42,983 --> 00:19:44,584 Defender newspaper. 475 00:19:44,684 --> 00:19:46,653 Speed Jackson was a former track star 476 00:19:46,753 --> 00:19:50,857 at Howard University who was an excellent fist fighter, which 477 00:19:50,957 --> 00:19:53,593 may not sound powerful compared to today's 478 00:19:53,693 --> 00:19:57,297 superheroes with their laser eyes and sticky spider hands. 479 00:19:57,397 --> 00:19:59,866 But you have to think about it like sports. 480 00:19:59,966 --> 00:20:03,203 Today's best athletes at the pinnacle of human physicality, 481 00:20:03,303 --> 00:20:05,639 while the best athletes from the 1930s 482 00:20:05,739 --> 00:20:08,141 were just the ones with the least polio. 483 00:20:08,241 --> 00:20:09,743 Times change. 484 00:20:09,843 --> 00:20:12,512 Jackson used his abilities to fight against fascists 485 00:20:12,612 --> 00:20:16,683 during the war and right the wrongs of a racist society, 486 00:20:16,783 --> 00:20:18,785 which is tough, because superpowers 487 00:20:18,885 --> 00:20:21,388 don't help when you're fighting systemic racism. 488 00:20:21,488 --> 00:20:23,223 Doesn't matter if you have the strength of 10 men 489 00:20:23,323 --> 00:20:25,926 if none of those men can get a mortgage. 490 00:20:26,026 --> 00:20:30,463 In 1947, Black superheroes made the leap from comic strip 491 00:20:30,564 --> 00:20:31,898 to comic book. 492 00:20:31,998 --> 00:20:35,468 With Lion Man, a cat-themed superhero 493 00:20:35,569 --> 00:20:38,538 who protected the world's largest uranium deposit 494 00:20:38,638 --> 00:20:42,275 in Africa's Gold Coast, although a cat may not 495 00:20:42,375 --> 00:20:45,545 have been the best animal to defend a valuable resource. 496 00:20:45,645 --> 00:20:48,381 Sure, cats are fast and agile. 497 00:20:48,481 --> 00:20:50,383 But you're getting there during one of those 22 hours 498 00:20:50,483 --> 00:20:54,120 that they're asleep, that uranium is yours. 499 00:20:54,154 --> 00:20:57,424 Lion Man was created by Orrin Evans, who intended 500 00:20:57,524 --> 00:21:00,393 his comic to counter the racial distortions seen 501 00:21:00,493 --> 00:21:02,395 in other comics. 502 00:21:02,495 --> 00:21:06,600 Although, if he was trying to avoid racial stereotypes, 503 00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:08,935 I think it's fair to say the results were mixed. 504 00:21:09,035 --> 00:21:11,004 Look at Lion Man right there. 505 00:21:11,137 --> 00:21:16,343 Shirtless, with a loincloth, and an arrow through his butt. 506 00:21:16,443 --> 00:21:19,713 Somehow, that is still the least problematic 507 00:21:19,813 --> 00:21:21,948 character on the cover. 508 00:21:22,048 --> 00:21:24,150 Despite how it looks today, Lion Man 509 00:21:24,251 --> 00:21:27,487 was still groundbreaking as an all-Black written 510 00:21:27,587 --> 00:21:29,723 and illustrated comic, even if now 511 00:21:29,823 --> 00:21:34,027 the cover looks like Tucker Carlson tried to draw Africa. 512 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,696 In the 1970s, there was an explosion 513 00:21:36,796 --> 00:21:38,565 of Black superheroes. 514 00:21:38,665 --> 00:21:40,634 Characters like Black Lightning, Black 515 00:21:40,734 --> 00:21:43,103 Vulcan, and Black Goliath. 516 00:21:43,203 --> 00:21:45,005 Basically, if you were trying to create 517 00:21:45,105 --> 00:21:47,274 an African-American hero in the '70s, 518 00:21:47,374 --> 00:21:50,510 you put the word Black in front of whatever was lying 519 00:21:50,610 --> 00:21:52,712 around you in the apartment. 520 00:21:52,812 --> 00:21:55,115 This week, Black Chandelier battles it out 521 00:21:55,215 --> 00:21:59,352 against his arch nemesis Black Candy Wrapper. 522 00:21:59,452 --> 00:22:01,688 But the most popular of these superheroes 523 00:22:01,788 --> 00:22:04,991 was the newest member of the X-Men, Storm, 524 00:22:05,125 --> 00:22:07,561 an African priestess who could control 525 00:22:07,661 --> 00:22:10,497 the weather to keep the rain from messing up her hair. 526 00:22:10,597 --> 00:22:13,967 Storm was a landmark character for both Black and female 527 00:22:14,134 --> 00:22:15,602 representation in comics. 528 00:22:15,702 --> 00:22:18,939 And on top of that, she's definitely the best X-Man. 529 00:22:19,039 --> 00:22:19,940 You know I'm right. 530 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:20,941 Who's better than Storm? 531 00:22:21,041 --> 00:22:21,942 Rogue? 532 00:22:22,042 --> 00:22:23,143 What's her power? 533 00:22:23,243 --> 00:22:27,013 If I hold my boyfriend's hand too long, he'll die. 534 00:22:27,147 --> 00:22:29,883 Wolverine is indeed strong, except for when 535 00:22:29,983 --> 00:22:31,952 he has to go through TSA. 536 00:22:32,052 --> 00:22:34,521 Professor X can read minds, but that 537 00:22:34,621 --> 00:22:37,090 means he also sees all the kinky sex stuff 538 00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:38,692 his enemies are thinking. 539 00:22:38,792 --> 00:22:40,193 Good luck defeating Magneto when you 540 00:22:40,293 --> 00:22:42,495 know how much he loves feet. 541 00:22:42,596 --> 00:22:45,365 By the 1990s, Black superheroes were 542 00:22:45,465 --> 00:22:47,200 making it to the big screen. 543 00:22:47,300 --> 00:22:52,272 In 1993, Robert Townsend directed The Media Man, a film 544 00:22:52,372 --> 00:22:53,807 about a mild-mannered teacher who 545 00:22:53,907 --> 00:22:57,677 was hit by a radioactive meteor and got superpowers. 546 00:22:57,777 --> 00:23:01,348 I must say, it's bold to name yourself after the worst thing 547 00:23:01,448 --> 00:23:03,683 that's ever happened to you. 548 00:23:03,783 --> 00:23:06,319 My superhero name would be Sheila Left Him 549 00:23:06,419 --> 00:23:10,190 Man, with the power to eat one whole can of tuna 550 00:23:10,290 --> 00:23:12,259 over the sink. 551 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:13,760 You were right, Sheila. 552 00:23:13,860 --> 00:23:18,832 I can't do better. 553 00:23:18,932 --> 00:23:23,837 In 1998, Marvel bet on Black with the Blade franchise. 554 00:23:23,937 --> 00:23:26,506 Wesley Snipes starred as a vampire hunter 555 00:23:26,606 --> 00:23:28,975 to great box office success. 556 00:23:29,142 --> 00:23:31,678 And Blade was a powerful mama jama. 557 00:23:31,778 --> 00:23:34,347 He managed to be that cool, while wearing the 558 00:23:34,447 --> 00:23:37,617 same sunglasses as Guy Fieri. 559 00:23:37,717 --> 00:23:40,587 It's also why there's no vampires in Flavortown. 560 00:23:40,687 --> 00:23:44,291 Blade became a household name and the first major theatrical 561 00:23:44,391 --> 00:23:48,094 success for Marvel, setting off a wave of Marvel films 562 00:23:48,128 --> 00:23:49,763 to come in the next two decades. 563 00:23:49,863 --> 00:23:52,465 Because Wesley Snipes proved that no one's 564 00:23:52,566 --> 00:23:56,102 powerful enough to defeat Marvel heroes, 565 00:23:56,202 --> 00:24:00,140 except for the IRS. 566 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,475 Please don't punch me, Wesley Snipes. 567 00:24:02,576 --> 00:24:05,278 Big fan. 568 00:24:05,378 --> 00:24:07,514 Now Black superheroes are everywhere, 569 00:24:07,614 --> 00:24:10,383 even taking over the mantle of formerly white heroes. 570 00:24:10,483 --> 00:24:12,118 We have an African-American Green 571 00:24:12,219 --> 00:24:16,790 Lantern, Iron Man, Captain America, and Spider-Man. 572 00:24:16,890 --> 00:24:18,558 No Black Bruce Wayne though. 573 00:24:18,658 --> 00:24:21,595 That requires too much generational wealth. 574 00:24:21,695 --> 00:24:23,330 Well, that's it for CP Time. 575 00:24:23,430 --> 00:24:26,433 And remember, before the co-- 576 00:24:26,533 --> 00:24:27,467 What's that? 577 00:24:27,567 --> 00:24:28,535 It's the CP signal. 578 00:24:28,635 --> 00:24:30,370 Someone needs a folksy man to come and tell 579 00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:31,838 them about Black history! 580 00:24:31,938 --> 00:24:33,473 I'm on my way, Florida. 581 00:24:33,573 --> 00:24:35,575 To the CP mobile! 582 00:24:35,675 -->

00:25:36,236 Welcome back to the show. 603 00:25:36,336 --> 00:25:37,304 Thank you for having me. 604 00:25:37,404 --> 00:25:38,872 Yeah, man, welcome back, congratulations 605 00:25:38,972 --> 00:25:40,140 on the new album. 606 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,442 You know, I was thinking about this today when we were 607 00:25:42,543 --> 00:25:43,577 talking about you coming on. 608 00:25:43,677 --> 00:25:48,348 I was like, you are a living hip hop legend. 609 00:25:48,448 --> 00:25:52,286 [cheering] 610 00:25:52,386 --> 00:25:54,721 And I think the significance of that 611 00:25:54,821 --> 00:25:57,925 for me lies in the meaning both ways. 612 00:25:58,025 --> 00:26:00,928 One, you are still in the game, you're still doing it, 613 00:26:01,028 --> 00:26:02,095 you're still contributing, you're 614 00:26:02,195 --> 00:26:03,697 still making great music. 615 00:26:03,797 --> 00:26:06,166 But also, you are a living hip hop legend. 616 00:26:06,266 --> 00:26:08,569 We take for granted how many legends we've lost in hip hop. 617 00:26:08,669 --> 00:26:10,204 We take for granted how many people aren't 618 00:26:10,304 --> 00:26:11,205 around who are part of that. 619 00:26:11,305 --> 00:26:12,873 Do you ever wake up in the morning 620 00:26:12,973 --> 00:26:16,310 and think to yourself, damn, so many of the people I started 621 00:26:16,443 --> 00:26:17,811 with in this game aren't here anymore, 622 00:26:17,911 --> 00:26:20,714 and I'm still here getting to be a part of it? 623 00:26:20,814 --> 00:26:22,316 All the time, all the time. 624 00:26:22,449 --> 00:26:25,152 Somebody, a friend of mine today called me and told me, 625 00:26:25,252 --> 00:26:28,355 he said, yo, you realize how long you've been around 626 00:26:28,455 --> 00:26:31,191 and how much you survived and things you've been through? 627 00:26:31,291 --> 00:26:35,996 We just lost a hip hop artist the other week, man. 628 00:26:36,096 --> 00:26:36,997 Yeah. 629 00:26:37,097 --> 00:26:38,265 Takeoff. 630 00:26:38,365 --> 00:26:39,266 And may he rest in peace. 631 00:26:39,366 --> 00:26:41,068 And you know, I lost so many friends 632 00:26:41,168 --> 00:26:42,870 even before I got into music. 633 00:26:42,970 --> 00:26:44,238 I didn't think I would get into music 634 00:26:44,338 --> 00:26:45,839 and then still see it going on. 635 00:26:45,939 --> 00:26:47,241 Yeah, you've done that. 636 00:26:47,341 --> 00:26:48,709 You've done more than just survive it, 637 00:26:48,809 --> 00:26:50,744 you've succeeded in it, you've thrived in it. 638 00:26:50,844 --> 00:26:54,615 And I think what I love about this album is how it feels 639 00:26:54,715 --> 00:26:57,317 like you almost reminiscing whilst also 640 00:26:57,484 --> 00:26:58,552 writing a piece of the future. 641 00:26:58,652 --> 00:26:59,553 Yeah. 642 00:26:59,653 --> 00:27:00,988 You know, you've always been to this day, 643 00:27:01,088 --> 00:27:02,222 everyone will say one of the greatest 644 00:27:02,322 --> 00:27:03,657 lyricists that's ever lived. 645 00:27:03,757 --> 00:27:06,426 But the stories that you tell, the way you weave. 646 00:27:06,460 --> 00:27:09,329 I mean, for instance, everyone who was in hip hop 647 00:27:09,429 --> 00:27:12,933 was familiar with like your beef with Jay-Z, what it was. 648 00:27:13,033 --> 00:27:15,869 And I loved how I'd here you talk about that beef, what 649 00:27:15,969 --> 00:27:17,838 it was, how it disappeared. 650 00:27:17,938 --> 00:27:19,106 But how you'll still text him saying, 651 00:27:19,206 --> 00:27:22,442 you know this isn't over, right? 652 00:27:22,509 --> 00:27:25,045 Well, when I released the tracklist 653 00:27:25,145 --> 00:27:27,447 for the album the other day, he released a picture 654 00:27:27,514 --> 00:27:29,049 with all his Grammys. 655 00:27:29,149 --> 00:27:32,519 [laughs] 656 00:27:32,619 --> 00:27:33,520 Yeah. 657 00:27:33,620 --> 00:27:34,588 Shout out to him. 658 00:27:34,688 --> 00:27:37,090 And a shout out to Hit-Boy, who produced 659 00:27:37,190 --> 00:27:38,959 this album, the entire album. 660 00:27:39,059 --> 00:27:40,661 He produced the other two albums, 661 00:27:40,761 --> 00:27:41,828 and also the album, Magic. 662 00:27:41,929 --> 00:27:42,863 Yeah. 663 00:27:42,963 --> 00:27:44,197 We slipped in four albums in two years. 664 00:27:44,298 --> 00:27:45,199 And you've been proof-- 665 00:27:45,299 --> 00:27:48,902 And the reason, yeah. 666 00:27:49,002 --> 00:27:50,904 Thanks, man. 667 00:27:51,004 --> 00:27:51,905 Thanks. 668 00:27:52,005 --> 00:27:54,341 And the reason I think it happened, 669 00:27:54,474 --> 00:27:55,909 is because we started the first one 670 00:27:56,009 --> 00:27:56,910 in 2020 when the pandemic hit. 671 00:27:57,010 --> 00:27:57,978 Yeah. 672 00:27:58,078 --> 00:27:59,780 So at first I was scared to come outside. 673 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,983 And then Hit-Boy was in the studio like, come on, man, 674 00:28:03,083 --> 00:28:05,152 it's like a month you didn't leave your house. 675 00:28:05,252 --> 00:28:08,121 And he got me to come outside and had nothing else to do. 676 00:28:08,222 --> 00:28:09,223 Right. 677 00:28:09,323 --> 00:28:10,624 And we finished the first one really quick, 678 00:28:10,724 --> 00:28:12,226 and we said, we should do this again. 679 00:28:12,326 --> 00:28:15,329 And here we are with the third one on my label, Mass Appeal. 680 00:28:15,429 --> 00:28:17,598 I would love to know, yeah, I'd love to know that when you 681 00:28:17,698 --> 00:28:21,501 look at hip hop as a whole, you were there 682 00:28:21,602 --> 00:28:25,005 when it was only seen as gangsta rap. 683 00:28:25,105 --> 00:28:26,940 You were there when it was completely 684 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,041 ostracized from society. 685 00:28:28,141 --> 00:28:29,443 Now it's at the Super Bowl. 686 00:28:29,476 --> 00:28:31,311 Now it is at a hockey game. 687 00:28:31,445 --> 00:28:32,579 I remember that's when I was like, wow, 688 00:28:32,679 --> 00:28:35,148 OK, hip hop has done it. 689 00:28:35,249 --> 00:28:36,350 No, for real. 690 00:28:36,450 --> 00:28:38,218 I'd love to know where you would like 691 00:28:38,318 --> 00:28:40,120 to see the game progressing to now 692 00:28:40,220 --> 00:28:43,824 that it's not in the exact same place it was before. 693 00:28:43,924 --> 00:28:45,759 I think it evolved, and I think 694 00:28:45,859 --> 00:28:50,264 people can realize that you don't have to be scared of it. 695 00:28:50,364 --> 00:28:54,268 We learn from our mistakes, and then we can grow in it. 696 00:28:54,368 --> 00:28:56,503 We don't have to stay doing one thing. 697 00:28:56,603 --> 00:28:57,771 The ones who stay doing one thing, 698 00:28:57,871 --> 00:28:59,673 unfortunately they fall off. 699 00:28:59,773 --> 00:29:03,043 And we have to understand that like hip hop is now is going 700 00:29:03,143 --> 00:29:05,779 on 50 years and we've been behind this whole 50 701 00:29:05,879 --> 00:29:08,682 years will be next year hip hop has been alive. 702 00:29:08,782 --> 00:29:11,218 So we've been behind trying to create 703 00:29:11,318 --> 00:29:12,986 this museum that's coming up in the Bronx right now. 704 00:29:13,086 --> 00:29:14,054 It's amazing. 705 00:29:14,154 --> 00:29:16,056 And the mayor has even gotten involved. 706 00:29:16,156 --> 00:29:17,224 That's amazing. 707 00:29:17,324 --> 00:29:21,061 Mayor Adams, and you know, and I noticed yeah, 708 00:29:21,161 --> 00:29:23,597 I noticed one thing, the culture is like, 709 00:29:23,697 --> 00:29:25,799 artists don't think they can go pass one way, 710 00:29:25,899 --> 00:29:29,236 or we have to be all in one like area 711 00:29:29,336 --> 00:29:30,804 trying to fight for crumbs. 712 00:29:30,904 --> 00:29:34,174 And it's like, hip hop's a multi sound genre. 713 00:29:34,274 --> 00:29:35,809 So like in rock, you don't have, 714 00:29:35,909 --> 00:29:38,579 you don't compare Kiss to the Rolling Stones. 715 00:29:38,679 --> 00:29:40,681 But in hip hop for some reason, we're fighting it 716 00:29:40,781 --> 00:29:45,018 for the same thing and you feel like you have to be the number 717 00:29:45,118 --> 00:29:46,019 one guy all the time. 718 00:29:46,119 --> 00:29:48,589 So hip hop is a multi sound genre. 719 00:29:48,689 --> 00:29:51,491 You can have multiple things going on at once. 720 00:29:51,592 --> 00:29:55,062 Doesn't matter how if you're 20 years old or 40 years 721 00:29:55,162 --> 00:29:57,965 old or whatever, it's a beautiful culture 722 00:29:58,065 --> 00:29:59,032 and I love all of it. 723 00:29:59,132 --> 00:30:01,668 So I think that we should all as writers 724 00:30:01,768 --> 00:30:05,539 get out of your comfort zone and spread your wings 725 00:30:05,639 --> 00:30:07,407 and expand with your sound. 726 00:30:07,441 --> 00:30:09,877 Yeah, I really like that. 727 00:30:09,977 --> 00:30:13,280 Before I let you go, I want to talk 728 00:30:13,413 --> 00:30:14,648 about that idea of being more. 729 00:30:14,748 --> 00:30:16,316 We know you for the music. 730 00:30:16,416 --> 00:30:18,018 We know you for being in the restaurant business 731 00:30:18,118 --> 00:30:20,120 and doing extremely well, being successful with that. 732 00:30:20,220 --> 00:30:21,288 We also getting in-- 733 00:30:21,421 --> 00:30:22,422 Somebody said it, Sweet Chick. 734 00:30:22,522 --> 00:30:23,423 Yeah, you've been there? - Yeah. 735 00:30:23,523 --> 00:30:24,424 All right. 736 00:30:24,524 --> 00:30:25,759 It's phenomenal, people love it. 737 00:30:25,859 --> 00:30:27,427 And you know, I remember eating and someone was like, you 738 00:30:27,461 --> 00:30:28,595 know Nas owns this chicken. 739 00:30:28,695 --> 00:30:30,998 I was like, this chicken that I'm holding right now? 740 00:30:31,098 --> 00:30:32,833 It was a weird way that someone said it to me. 741 00:30:32,933 --> 00:30:34,701 But you're also getting involved 742 00:30:34,801 --> 00:30:36,169 in a different type of storytelling, 743 00:30:36,270 --> 00:30:37,437 which is in film. 744 00:30:37,471 --> 00:30:41,041 You know, I know that you directed a documentary. 745 00:30:41,141 --> 00:30:42,309 Yeah. 746 00:30:42,442 --> 00:30:45,445 You know, that talks about the Supreme world of like, 747 00:30:45,479 --> 00:30:47,514 it was this underworld in Queens, 748 00:30:47,614 --> 00:30:50,851 and I know you're also involved in a really fascinating story 749 00:30:50,951 --> 00:30:52,252 about the Civil Rights icons. 750 00:30:52,352 --> 00:30:54,187 Everybody,
