- Hi.
You have quite the pep in your step.
- We're taking our daughter's soccer team to
to regionals today.
We're so proud.
- I thought it might have something to do
with the new GM Amana you're driving.
It's an all-American car for an all-American family
like yours.
- Hello, there.
Who's this?
- This is my daughter, Jasmine.
- Oh.
OK.
- Kids love the Amana, too.
From the smartphone-compatible seat-back monitors
to the rear personal climate controls.
The Amana makes those long road trips a breeze.
- Looks like Jasmine's friend loves the Amana, too.
- Oh, no.
This is my son.
- Oh, that makes sense.
- Kobe.
- Interesting name.
Not what I was expecting, but I can handle it.
Just like the Amana can handle snow and rain with its
state-of-the-art four-wheel drive and antilock--
so your daughter's adopted then, right?
- Yeah. Oh. Hi, honey.
- Whoa. What the fuck? Who's that?
- My husband.
- How is he Black?
- He was born Black.
He loves the Amana, too, especially the leg room.
His legs are so long and thick.
- Cool. That's cool.
I'm cool with all of this.
- You sure, dude?
You sound weird.
- In fact, we designed the car with him in mind,
with all peoples in mind.
From extra leg room to the-- I'm sorry.
How did you two meet?
- In college.
- Right.
So like football player and cheerleader?
- I majored in Eastern philosophy.
- Yeah, and I was a cheerleader,
but can we just focus on the Amana?
It's dual air bags on both driver and passenger side,
360-degree surround-view camera, auto-dimming mirrors.
- Don't forget the fast USB charging.
- Wasn't that a British accent?
Are you messing with me?
The Amana also comes with heads-up display.
Speaking of heads-up display, I'd love
a heads-up on your history.
- Fine.
I had an unplanned pregnancy when I was young.
I decided to keep the baby.
And after Mark and I got married, we adopted Jasmine.
- That's the Asian girl?
- You can just say "girl."
We've always tried to celebrate and embrace
our family's diversity. All right.
So let's go, everyone.
- The GM Amana--
it's a whole new car for a whole new America.
You know, I actually dated a Black girl once.
- Dude, don't.

- Flight Director Duke Howard, can you
describe the minutes that led to the failure
of the heat shield?
- First Officer Mike Cassell and myself
noticed our re-entry system was reporting abnormalities.
At that point, we knew we'd have to do
an EVA to repair the shield.
- First Officer Cassell, how did
you keep your calm when you had to breach the pressure lock?
- Well, this is what you train for.
And I knew we had an incredible support team
on the ground in Houston.
- This question is for Amy.
- Oh.
Yeah, I'm Systems Engineer Amy Lane.
- Amy, how do you balance such a rigorous and stressful
career with motherhood?
- Oh, I don't have children.
- Oh, jeez, my mistake.
In that case, how do you balance
such a rigorous and stressful career
with planning to have children or searching for a partner
to make kids with?
- Uh, I actually don't want kids.
[all gasp]
- What?
- You gay?
- Um, so no questions pertaining
to how I reconfigured the solar thrusters?
- Flight Director Howard, how does
it feel to receive the Medal of Bravery from the president?
- Mmm.
It's the honor of my life to serve my country.
- Thank you for your service.
- Yeah.
- And for Ames, was it painful
when the effects of zero gravity combusted
your baby-making parts?
- Excuse me? - Oh.
Earlier, you said you didn't want children
like a normal woman, and I was trying
to figure out a reason why, and I guessed it was gravity or--
I don't know-- a space alien bit off
your vagina uterus tubes?
Whatever. I'm not a scientist.
I'm just a reporter.
- All right, this is nobody's business,
but I just don't want kids.
My focus has always been on my career,
and children aren't a part of that.
OK?
- Oh, like Queen Latifah.
- Well, you say that now, but you'll change your mind when
the right guy comes along.
- Pretty sure I won't.
- We're all rooting for you, girl.
- OK, well, don't.
The life of an astronaut actually entails a lot more--
- Oscar Isaac.
- I'm sorry?
- Come on.
Don't tell us you wouldn't have kids with Oscar Isaac.
- Oh, he'd definitely be the right guy.
I bet he'd even be willing to babysit the kids.
- And he was in "Star Wars," so he
can talk about space with you.
- I don't think it should be called babysitting
if it's your own children.
- Hey, hey, guys, please show Officer Lane some respect.
She's at the top of her field,
and that can be intimidating to guys trying to smash.
[together] Ohh.
- It all makes sense when you think about it.
It's just so sad.
- What? No. Feel sad?
Why? My life is great.
All right? I-- I teach at MIT.
I fly F-16s.
I just went to fucking space, OK?
The thing beyond the sky?
I have a great life! I want this!
- Ma'am.
- This is the life I want!
Oh my god!
- We're the space police.
You're in violation of space law.
You need to go with us. - Why?
Because I don't want children?
- No, for vehicular manslaughter.
- Oh, yeah.
- This scene started as two different ideas.
Jeremy pitched a female astronaut
not being taken seriously, and Georgie
pitched a woman that doesn't want kids
who's treated like a criminal.
- Amy suggested we merge the two ideas.
So I guess you can say Jeremy and I are the parents
of this scene, and no one needs to ask me when I'm
going to have kids anymore.
- I don't care for children.
[dramatic music]
- Hi.
I'm activist Amy Schumer.
If you're anything like me,
you're a dedicated liberal and working mother.
When I started looking at preschools,
I heard a lot of like-minded parents wanting to explore
a progressive curriculum.
Many parents wanted to address critical race theory,
because they heard it was good.
School directors said it refers
to some advanced theories
about systematic racism and that kind of stuff.
And most developmental experts think we should teach children
in ways that are consistent
with their intellectual capacities.
But I say that's a cop-out.
No age is too young to face the brutal unabridged truth
about the white supremacy we live in.
That's why I founded my own preschool, Amy's Garden,
a critical race theory garden.
Our infant room begins at six days old.
Newborns learn where their hands are and the entirety
of Isabel Wilkerson's "Caste."
At Amy's Garden, we employ infant sign language
to communicate such important concepts as "more," "milk,"
and "Reconstruction and the rise of the Jim Crow South."
In the toddler room, little ones choose such activities
as playing farmers' market,
learning ABCs, and a simulation
of hiding under a table in Nazi Germany.
Field trips are arranged to visit such locations
as the Holocaust Museum, Yad Vashem in Jerusalem,
and complex sociological lectures at the 92nd Street Y.
- Open your eyes to the realities, Gus.
- And Amy's Garden is an amazing community.
You're going to meet all kinds of parents--
people in finance, people in the arts married to people
in finance, people in finance married to other people
also in finance, and a Black couple
married to each other in finance,
and obviously, Audra McDonald.
If this sounds like something for you,
get your application in ASAP,
because with six slots, it's basically impossible
to get in, unless you're part of my general social circle,
in which case, it's very easy,
unless I'm mad at you that week.
Amy's Garden-- this country was meant for everyone.
Let's start living that way.
Tuition $50,000 per semester per child
does not include blocks or snacks.
This one was tricky, and we talked about it a lot
in the writers' room.
We didn't want it to be taken the wrong way.
- Yeah. Before you go to Twitter,
just know the staff is uniformly
in favor of social justice.
- But sometimes you need to make fun of rich white people
who are taking it too far.
