00:00:00,534 --> 00:00:01,768
[theme music]
2
00:00:01,869 --> 00:00:04,538
ANNOUNCER: From New York City,
the only city in America,
3
00:00:04,638 --> 00:00:07,207
it's the show that
invented news.
4
00:00:07,307 --> 00:00:11,945
This is The Daily Show with
your host, Jordan Klepper.
5
00:00:12,045 --> 00:00:19,052
[cheering]
6
00:00:31,098 --> 00:00:32,366
Welcome to The Daily Show.
7
00:00:32,466 --> 00:00:36,537
I'm Jordan Klepper, and this
is pretty exciting, everyone.
8
00:00:36,637 --> 00:00:37,704
This is the first
time the show has
9
00:00:37,804 --> 00:00:40,140
let me sit down in five years.
10
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,675
[laughter]
11
00:00:41,775 --> 00:00:43,343
We've got a great show
for you tonight, including
12
00:00:43,443 --> 00:00:45,012
an interview with AOC.
13
00:00:45,112 --> 00:00:46,013
But--
14
00:00:46,113 --> 00:00:48,882
[cheering]
15
00:00:48,982 --> 00:00:50,584
Sure.
16
00:00:50,684 --> 00:00:52,152
But there's a lot
to talk about.
17
00:00:52,252 --> 00:00:53,954
So let's get into
the headlines.
18
00:00:54,054 --> 00:00:58,358
[cheering]
19
00:00:58,458 --> 00:01:03,463
It's a day in America, so
we're talking about guns.
20
00:01:03,564 --> 00:01:06,066
This weekend was the
national NRA convention, also
21
00:01:06,166 --> 00:01:10,737
known as cargo pants Comic-Con
or the Westminster
22
00:01:10,838 --> 00:01:12,472
Stepdad Show.
23
00:01:12,573 --> 00:01:14,875
Now, people like
to stereotype NRA
24
00:01:14,975 --> 00:01:17,077
members as
gun-obsessed whack jobs
25
00:01:17,177 --> 00:01:18,612
who want to arm little babies.
26
00:01:18,712 --> 00:01:24,084
And the thing about stereotypes
is sometimes they're spot on.
27
00:01:24,117 --> 00:01:26,453
I've got three
kids, two son-in-laws.
28
00:01:26,553 --> 00:01:28,755
And did you know that
I'm also a grandmother
29
00:01:28,856 --> 00:01:30,757
not just once, but twice?
30
00:01:30,858 --> 00:01:32,993
Have two beautiful
grandchildren.
31
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:35,395
Little Miss Addie,
who is almost two,
32
00:01:35,495 --> 00:01:37,397
and Branch, who's
just a few months old.
33
00:01:37,497 --> 00:01:42,102
Now, Addie, who soon will need
them, I want to reassure you,
34
00:01:42,135 --> 00:01:46,640
she already has a shotgun,
and she already has a rifle.
35
00:01:46,740 --> 00:01:49,009
And she's got a little
pony named Sparkles too.
36
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:51,111
So the girl is set up.
37
00:01:51,211 --> 00:01:53,013
Wow.
38
00:01:53,113 --> 00:01:54,615
That's the governor
of South Dakota
39
00:01:54,715 --> 00:01:57,851
bragging about her two-year-old
granddaughter owning guns.
40
00:01:57,951 --> 00:01:59,186
Bold.
41
00:01:59,286 --> 00:02:01,622
When my kid was little, I
was covering outlets, locking
42
00:02:01,722 --> 00:02:03,056
cabinets, and cutting
grapes in half
43
00:02:03,156 --> 00:02:06,393
because they might
be a choking hazard.
44
00:02:06,493 --> 00:02:08,462
Kristi Noem is like,
here's a shotgun.
45
00:02:08,562 --> 00:02:09,663
You're on watch tonight.
46
00:02:09,763 --> 00:02:11,064
Sic semper tyrannis.
47
00:02:11,098 --> 00:02:13,066
[laughter]
48
00:02:13,166 --> 00:02:15,702
Look, I know liberals
and conservatives
49
00:02:15,802 --> 00:02:17,237
don't agree on much.
50
00:02:17,337 --> 00:02:18,805
But can we agree
that you should
51
00:02:18,906 --> 00:02:21,675
not own a gun if you don't
know how to poop in a potty?
52
00:02:21,775 --> 00:02:24,545
[laughter]
53
00:02:24,645 --> 00:02:27,881
[cheering]
54
00:02:27,981 --> 00:02:30,984
Although-- although it
is adorable that she
55
00:02:31,084 --> 00:02:33,520
has a pony named Sparkles.
56
00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:35,355
In fact, if you'll
excuse me for a second,
57
00:02:35,455 --> 00:02:41,495
I need to address
Sparkles directly.
58
00:02:41,595 --> 00:02:44,264
Sparkles, this will
not end well for you.
59
00:02:44,364 --> 00:02:45,732
[laughter]
60
00:02:45,832 --> 00:02:48,569
These people are
clearly insane.
61
00:02:48,669 --> 00:02:49,903
Run while you still can.
62
00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:51,104
There is no time for goodbyes.
Go!
63
00:02:51,138 --> 00:02:52,105
Go, my friend.
64
00:02:52,139 --> 00:02:54,341
Go.
65
00:02:54,441 --> 00:02:57,211
[cheering]
66
00:02:57,311 --> 00:03:00,881
Look, look, look, to
be clear-- to be clear,
67
00:03:01,048 --> 00:03:02,749
I'm not bringing
up Kristi Noem just
68
00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:04,051
to make fun of her grandkids.
69
00:03:04,084 --> 00:03:05,052
I would never do that.
70
00:03:05,085 --> 00:03:06,053
They've got guns.
71
00:03:06,153 --> 00:03:07,187
[laughter]
72
00:03:07,287 --> 00:03:09,823
I'm bringing up Kristi
Noem because she gave us
73
00:03:09,923 --> 00:03:13,293
a great insight into what
creates the worldview
74
00:03:13,393 --> 00:03:14,795
of an NRA member.
75
00:03:14,895 --> 00:03:17,130
My dad taught
us life lessons.
76
00:03:17,231 --> 00:03:18,665
He taught us common sense.
77
00:03:18,765 --> 00:03:21,768
And often those were taught
during our hunting trips.
78
00:03:21,869 --> 00:03:25,138
For instance, I remember being
only about 9 or 10 years old.
79
00:03:25,239 --> 00:03:28,342
And we had hunted all day
miles and miles from camp
80
00:03:28,442 --> 00:03:30,544
in the high country in
the Bighorn Mountains
81
00:03:30,644 --> 00:03:33,747
when my dad turned to
me, and he said, Kristi,
82
00:03:33,847 --> 00:03:35,215
hunt your way back to camp.
83
00:03:35,315 --> 00:03:36,583
I'm going to go
around this ridge,
84
00:03:36,683 --> 00:03:38,085
and I'll meet you
there at dark.
85
00:03:38,118 --> 00:03:40,854
And he disappeared
over the ridge.
86
00:03:40,954 --> 00:03:44,758
Now, to a 10-year-old
girl, this was terrifying.
87
00:03:44,858 --> 00:03:48,362
And as strange noises
came and darkness fell,
88
00:03:48,462 --> 00:03:51,331
I had to rely on my
instincts and my horse
89
00:03:51,431 --> 00:03:53,800
to find my way
back to our tent.
90
00:03:53,901 --> 00:03:55,736
Now, years later,
Mom shared with me
91
00:03:55,836 --> 00:03:58,305
that my dad had followed
me at a safe distance
92
00:03:58,405 --> 00:04:00,874
all the way back
to camp to make
93
00:04:01,041 --> 00:04:02,042
sure that I got there safe.
94
00:04:02,142 --> 00:04:04,778
Now, before you get all
warm and fuzzy on him,
95
00:04:04,878 --> 00:04:06,513
I also want to tell
you that he made
96
00:04:06,613 --> 00:04:09,917
bear noises the whole
time he was following me.
97
00:04:10,050 --> 00:04:15,489
[laughs] Scratching trees and
growling at me, so, you know?
98
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:22,362
[laughs] What an adorable
story about alcoholism.
99
00:04:23,363 --> 00:04:25,666
Excuse me one second.
100
00:04:25,766 --> 00:04:27,501
[laughter]
101
00:04:27,601 --> 00:04:29,937
Seriously, Sparkles, this
family is [bleep] nuts.
102
00:04:30,070 --> 00:04:30,938
Get out of there.
103
00:04:31,071 --> 00:04:32,372
Trust no one.
104
00:04:32,472 --> 00:04:34,775
Sic semper tyrannis.
105
00:04:34,875 --> 00:04:35,776
OK, but--
106
00:04:35,876 --> 00:04:38,445
[cheering]
107
00:04:38,545 --> 00:04:41,515
--the real purpose
of an NRA convention
108
00:04:41,615 --> 00:04:43,317
isn't to tell fun
family stories
109
00:04:43,417 --> 00:04:44,718
of childhood abandonment.
110
00:04:44,818 --> 00:04:48,155
No, it's to explain why all the
gun violence of the last year
111
00:04:48,255 --> 00:04:50,591
had nothing to do with guns.
112
00:04:50,691 --> 00:04:53,694
In the past, they blamed
video games, rap music,
113
00:04:53,794 --> 00:04:57,831
and for a brief period
in the '90s, the Rachel.
114
00:04:57,931 --> 00:04:59,366
It could be anything.
115
00:04:59,466 --> 00:05:00,634
Well, not anything.
116
00:05:00,734 --> 00:05:03,504
It can't be guns,
but anything else.
117
00:05:03,604 --> 00:05:05,806
And this year was no different.
118
00:05:05,906 --> 00:05:07,875
You want to do something--
you can ban social
119
00:05:08,041 --> 00:05:11,044
media in kids under
the age of 15 or 16
120
00:05:11,078 --> 00:05:12,679
before you take guns away.
121
00:05:12,779 --> 00:05:15,048
This is a mental
health problem.
122
00:05:15,115 --> 00:05:16,483
It's undiagnosed
mental health.
123
00:05:16,583 --> 00:05:18,552
The motivations of
the trans activists.
124
00:05:18,652 --> 00:05:20,220
This is a cultural problem.
125
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,388
Bring back the family.
126
00:05:21,488 --> 00:05:24,057
This is a spiritual problem.
127
00:05:24,124 --> 00:05:25,292
The American media.
128
00:05:25,392 --> 00:05:28,362
Genetically-engineered
cannabis.
129
00:05:28,462 --> 00:05:31,431
[laughter]
130
00:05:31,532 --> 00:05:33,100
Weed, really?
131
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,968
When I get high, the only
thing I want to massacre
132
00:05:35,068 --> 00:05:37,271
is a bag of Funyuns.
133
00:05:37,371 --> 00:05:40,073
If you're blaming
gun violence on weed,
134
00:05:40,107 --> 00:05:41,708
you're not even trying anymore.
135
00:05:41,808 --> 00:05:43,544
These people are just
name checking things they
136
00:05:43,644 --> 00:05:45,779
don't understand on the news.
137
00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:46,780
It's weed!
138
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,382
It's ChatGPT!
139
00:05:48,482 --> 00:05:50,651
It's Love Is Blind
crashing Netflix.
140
00:05:50,751 --> 00:05:51,652
Is that a thing?
141
00:05:51,752 --> 00:05:52,819
Is that a thing?
142
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,087
Is it a thing?
143
00:05:54,188 --> 00:05:56,423
[applause]
144
00:05:56,523 --> 00:06:00,160
And this isn't just
the NRA deflecting.
145
00:06:00,260 --> 00:06:03,263
They're stoking these fears,
fears of rampant crime,
146
00:06:03,363 --> 00:06:07,201
trans people, wokeness,
mutant doobies.
147
00:06:07,301 --> 00:06:08,936
It's all coming to get you.
148
00:06:09,036 --> 00:06:10,504
And you know what
happens when you combine
149
00:06:10,604 --> 00:06:13,040
a culture of fear and guns?
150
00:06:13,106 --> 00:06:15,809
You get the story that just
came out of Kansas City, where
151
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:17,477
a kid trying to
pick up his siblings
152
00:06:17,578 --> 00:06:19,513
knocked on the wrong
door and got shot
153
00:06:19,613 --> 00:06:21,915
and wounded by the homeowner.
154
00:06:22,049 --> 00:06:24,818
That kid wasn't shot by
weed or social media.
155
00:06:24,918 --> 00:06:28,088
He was shot by a scared
person with a gun.
156
00:06:28,188 --> 00:06:30,390
And this is the climate
the NRA's stoking.
157
00:06:30,490 --> 00:06:33,327
They're the irresponsible
loudmouth hiding in the woods,
158
00:06:33,427 --> 00:06:36,163
making bear noises,
scratching on trees so
159
00:06:36,263 --> 00:06:39,066
that you feel scared enough
to go and get yourself
160
00:06:39,166 --> 00:06:40,167
a [bleep] gun.
161
00:06:40,267 --> 00:06:41,168
But--
162
00:06:41,268 --> 00:06:43,637
[applause]
163
00:06:43,737 --> 00:06:45,606
--you know what?
164
00:06:45,706 --> 00:06:46,940
It's my first night.
165
00:06:47,074 --> 00:06:48,442
Enough about gun violence.
166
00:06:48,542 --> 00:06:50,777
Let's move on to something
more lighthearted,
167
00:06:50,878 --> 00:06:52,946
the corrosive rod of
our judicial branch.
168
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,515
[laughter]
169
00:06:54,615 --> 00:06:56,917
Of course, I'm talking
about Clarence Thomas,
170
00:06:57,084 --> 00:06:58,352
the Supreme Court justice.
171
00:06:58,452 --> 00:06:59,486
[booing]
172
00:06:59,586 --> 00:07:02,356
Yeah, big fans, I can tell.
173
00:07:02,456 --> 00:07:03,323
You now him.
174
00:07:03,423 --> 00:07:04,691
He's the Supreme
Court justice who's
175
00:07:04,791 --> 00:07:06,460
taken more free
vacations than all
176
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,095
the Bravo Housewives combined.
177
00:07:08,195 --> 00:07:10,030
[laughter]
178
00:07:10,097 --> 00:07:12,032
Last week, we learned
that Thomas had secretly
179
00:07:12,132 --> 00:07:14,268
accepted luxury trips from
right-wing billionaire
180
00:07:14,368 --> 00:07:15,536
Harlan Crow.
181
00:07:15,636 --> 00:07:18,038
And that's his actual
name, not his Game
182
00:07:18,071 --> 00:07:19,273
of Thrones cosplay character.
183
00:07:19,373 --> 00:07:20,741
[laughter]
184
00:07:20,841 --> 00:07:24,344
And now we're finding out
that back in 2014, Harlan Crow
185
00:07:24,444 --> 00:07:27,781
bought a house in
two vacant lots
186
00:07:27,881 --> 00:07:32,586
from Clarence Thomas for
$130,000, which is outrageous.
187
00:07:32,686 --> 00:07:35,088
I'm shocked that in
America-- in my America--
188
00:07:35,189 --> 00:07:37,524
there are still places where
you can buy a house and two
189
00:07:37,624 --> 00:07:39,226
vacant lots for $130,000.
190
00:07:39,326 --> 00:07:41,328
[laughter]
191
00:07:41,428 --> 00:07:43,497
I'm mad about the corruption,
but I have to admit,
192
00:07:43,597 --> 00:07:46,066
that's a [bleep] steal.
193
00:07:46,166 --> 00:07:49,169
On top of that, Clarence
Thomas's mom is still living
194
00:07:49,269 --> 00:07:50,871
in that house rent free.
195
00:07:50,971 --> 00:07:53,373
And Harlan Crow has paid
for thousands of dollars
196
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:55,843
of renovations, all of
which Clarence Thomas
197
00:07:55,943 --> 00:07:57,711
should have disclosed by law.
198
00:07:57,811 --> 00:08:01,481
Although, in his defense,
the law is complicated,
199
00:08:01,582 --> 00:08:04,084
and he's only a
Supreme Court justice.
200
00:08:04,184 --> 00:08:06,553
[laughter]
201
00:08:06,653 --> 00:08:09,556
[applause]
202
00:08:09,656 --> 00:08:12,025
For more of the legal
nuances of this story,
203
00:08:12,125 --> 00:08:14,228
we turn to Supreme Court
expert Ronny Chieng.
204
00:08:14,328 --> 00:08:15,229
Ronny.
205
00:08:15,329 --> 00:08:18,165
[cheering]
206
00:08:18,265 --> 00:08:21,568
Hey, Ronny.
207
00:08:21,668 --> 00:08:23,337
Ronny, where are you right now?
208
00:08:23,437 --> 00:08:24,338
Where am I?
209
00:08:24,438 --> 00:08:25,372
Where do you think I am?
210
00:08:25,472 --> 00:08:28,842
I'm at Clarence
Thomas's mom's house.
211
00:08:28,942 --> 00:08:29,910
That's the house?
212
00:08:30,043 --> 00:08:32,312
Oh, technically,
this is the pool house.
213
00:08:32,412 --> 00:08:33,680
I mean, they built
it to last week.
214
00:08:33,780 --> 00:08:36,083
But, obviously, they're going
to do a gut reno because, I
215
00:08:36,183 --> 00:08:38,418
mean, it looks like shit.
216
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:39,453
That's insane, Ronny.
217
00:08:39,553 --> 00:08:41,221
These revelations
about money flowing
218
00:08:41,321 --> 00:08:43,290
to a Supreme Court
justice are-- frankly,
219
00:08:43,390 --> 00:08:44,825
they're shocking.
220
00:08:44,925 --> 00:08:45,826
Oh, really, Jordan?
221
00:08:45,926 --> 00:08:47,194
You're shocked?
222
00:08:47,294 --> 00:08:48,662
Are you shocked?
223
00:08:48,762 --> 00:08:52,633
Have you been-- have your
precious norms been violated?
224
00:08:52,733 --> 00:08:54,635
Oh, no, somebody help.
225
00:08:54,735 --> 00:08:56,570
Justice Thomas and
Harlan Crow bent
226
00:08:56,670 --> 00:08:59,573
over and double teamed Jordan
Klepper's innocent principles.
227
00:08:59,673 --> 00:09:01,008
Ronny, stop it.
228
00:09:01,074 --> 00:09:03,010
Stop it.
229
00:09:03,076 --> 00:09:04,144
Stop it.
230
00:09:04,244 --> 00:09:05,679
I'm a professional news person.
231
00:09:05,779 --> 00:09:07,014
I don't have principles.
232
00:09:07,114 --> 00:09:08,549
[laughter]
233
00:09:08,649 --> 00:09:10,851
You know what's
really shocking here
234
00:09:11,018 --> 00:09:13,420
is this billionaire is
wasting so much money buying
235
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,389
Clarence Thomas
flights and houses
236
00:09:15,489 --> 00:09:17,024
and shit to vote conservative.
237
00:09:17,090 --> 00:09:18,692
Hey, news flash, billionaire.
238
00:09:18,792 --> 00:09:21,595
Clarence Thomas is
already conservative.
239
00:09:21,695 --> 00:09:22,729
All right?
240
00:09:22,829 --> 00:09:25,232
It's like bribing Nick
Cannon to hit it raw.
241
00:09:25,332 --> 00:09:28,101
[laughter]
242
00:09:28,202 --> 00:09:31,305
He was going to do that anyway.
243
00:09:31,405 --> 00:09:33,173
Save your money.
244
00:09:33,273 --> 00:09:36,276
Jordan, you know who
I do blame for this?
245
00:09:36,376 --> 00:09:37,778
Harlan Crow's
parents for giving
246
00:09:37,878 --> 00:09:39,847
him an evil villain name?
247
00:09:39,947 --> 00:09:41,048
Yes, but no.
248
00:09:41,081 --> 00:09:42,249
Sure.
249
00:09:42,349 --> 00:09:46,053
I blame these dumbass,
whiny, teacher's pet liberals.
250
00:09:46,119 --> 00:09:48,722
Hey, if Clarence Thomas
can be bought, then
251
00:09:48,822 --> 00:09:50,390
why aren't you buying him?
252
00:09:50,490 --> 00:09:51,391
Huh?
253
00:09:51,491 --> 00:09:53,093
Instead, you give
Beto O'Rourke,
254
00:09:53,193 --> 00:09:55,495
like, a billion dollars to
come in third in a student
255
00:09:55,596 --> 00:09:57,164
council election, right?
256
00:09:57,264 --> 00:09:59,533
Why don't you take
that money and build
257
00:09:59,633 --> 00:10:03,036
Clarence Thomas's mom a
new garage, a yoga room,
258
00:10:03,136 --> 00:10:04,805
and a helipool?
259
00:10:04,905 --> 00:10:06,273
I think you mean a helipad.
260
00:10:06,373 --> 00:10:08,442
No, I said helipool, OK?
261
00:10:08,542 --> 00:10:10,310
It's a pool for
helicopters so you
262
00:10:10,410 --> 00:10:12,012
can land straight in
the water and stop
263
00:10:12,112 --> 00:10:13,447
walking there like a peasant.
264
00:10:13,547 --> 00:10:14,748
[laughter]
265
00:10:14,848 --> 00:10:17,751
Maybe abortion
would still be legal
266
00:10:17,851 --> 00:10:19,753
if liberals bought
a pool for Clarence
267
00:10:19,853 --> 00:10:21,755
Thomas's mom's helicopter, OK?
268
00:10:21,855 --> 00:10:22,756
Is that so crazy?
269
00:10:22,856 --> 00:10:23,757
Yes.
270
00:10:23,857 --> 00:10:24,892
Yes, it is crazy, Ronny.
271
00:10:24,992 --> 00:10:27,494
You don't fix corruption
with more corruption.
272
00:10:27,594 --> 00:10:29,730
What is the message you're
sending when you let money
273
00:10:29,830 --> 00:10:31,765
influence decision making?
274
00:10:31,865 --> 00:10:34,568
Jordan, I will give you
a thousand dollars if you
275
00:10:34,668 --> 00:10:35,736
agree with me right now.
276
00:10:35,836 --> 00:10:36,737
No.
277
00:10:36,837 --> 00:10:38,305
I would never
betray my integrity
278
00:10:38,405 --> 00:10:39,840
for a thousand dollars.
279
00:10:39,940 --> 00:10:40,841
Maybe five.
280
00:10:40,941 --> 00:10:42,109
- OK, how about three?
- Three?
281
00:10:42,209 --> 00:10:43,143
Deal.
282
00:10:43,243 --> 00:10:45,379
Yeah, Ronny Chieng
is right, everyone.
283
00:10:45,479 --> 00:10:47,948
All right, when we
come back, my interview
284
00:10:48,048 --> 00:10:50,951
with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
so don't go away.
285
00:10:51,051 --> 00:10:54,388
[cheering]
286
00:11:01,894 --> 00:11:08,334
[cheering]
287
00:11:09,335 --> 00:11:10,236
Welcome back to
The Daily Show.
288
00:11:10,336 --> 00:11:12,171
There's a lot of
depressing news
289
00:11:12,271 --> 00:11:13,606
about gun violence in America.
290
00:11:13,706 --> 00:11:15,341
But the good news
is that there are
291
00:11:15,441 --> 00:11:16,943
people working on solutions.
292
00:11:17,043 --> 00:11:19,278
I met up with New York
Congresswoman Alexandria
293
00:11:19,378 --> 00:11:22,081
Ocasio-Cortez to talk
about one possible solution
294
00:11:22,181 --> 00:11:23,582
right here in New York City.
295
00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:25,451
JORDAN KLEPPER (VOICEOVER):
I met with the congresswoman
296
00:11:25,551 --> 00:11:28,421
at Jacobi Hospital in the
Bronx to discuss its Stand Up
297
00:11:28,521 --> 00:11:30,189
to Violence program,
which has shown
298
00:11:30,289 --> 00:11:33,592
an impressive 46% reduction
in retaliatory violence
299
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:35,394
in its first few years.
300
00:11:35,494 --> 00:11:37,296
As a Democrat
focused on violence,
301
00:11:37,396 --> 00:11:38,431
isn't that off brand?
302
00:11:38,531 --> 00:11:39,432
Well, I'm from the Bronx.
303
00:11:39,532 --> 00:11:41,601
So it's on brand
for where I'm from.
304
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:42,668
[laughs]
305
00:11:42,768 --> 00:11:45,871
There is a lot of
discussion around what
306
00:11:45,972 --> 00:11:48,307
progressives can do about
violence in a big city.
307
00:11:48,407 --> 00:11:50,776
What the data has showed
us is that if you respond
308
00:11:50,876 --> 00:11:52,778
to violence as a
public health issue
309
00:11:52,878 --> 00:11:56,315
instead of as an incarceration
issue, violence decreases.
310
00:11:56,415 --> 00:11:58,551
And that's what we're doing
here at Jacobi Hospital.
311
00:11:58,651 --> 00:12:00,620
Are there cops
here at the hospital
312
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,621
that are addressing the issue?
313
00:12:01,721 --> 00:12:02,622
Hell no.
314
00:12:02,722 --> 00:12:03,656
[laughs]
315
00:12:03,756 --> 00:12:04,757
OK.
316
00:12:04,857 --> 00:12:07,493
No, this is-- listen,
and there's security
317
00:12:07,593 --> 00:12:08,995
presence and police
presence that
318
00:12:09,095 --> 00:12:10,096
is standard in any hospital.
319
00:12:10,196 --> 00:12:11,797
But that's not what
this program is about.
320
00:12:11,897 --> 00:12:14,033
In the traditional
response to an incidence
321
00:12:14,133 --> 00:12:16,502
of violence, a
shooting or a stabbing,
322
00:12:16,569 --> 00:12:17,870
you may go to the
ER real quick.
323
00:12:17,970 --> 00:12:18,938
You get patched
up, and then you
324
00:12:19,038 --> 00:12:20,139
go straight to the precinct.
325
00:12:20,239 --> 00:12:22,541
What we decided to
do is that we said,
326
00:12:22,642 --> 00:12:24,710
hey, let's shift
the response and see
327
00:12:24,810 --> 00:12:27,647
what happens when we make
the center of response
328
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:30,349
a hospital instead of a jail.
329
00:12:30,516 --> 00:12:32,285
JORDAN KLEPPER (VOICEOVER):
When a patient comes to the ER
330
00:12:32,385 --> 00:12:33,953
with a gunshot
wound, the Stand Up
331
00:12:34,053 --> 00:12:35,721
to Violence team
works with the victim
332
00:12:35,821 --> 00:12:38,958
and members of the community
to prevent violent retaliation.
333
00:12:39,058 --> 00:12:41,360
You're essentially talking
about preventative medicine
334
00:12:41,527 --> 00:12:42,695
here.
- It is.
335
00:12:42,795 --> 00:12:43,930
It absolutely is.
336
00:12:44,030 --> 00:12:44,797
Which in America, it's
not exactly our thing if you
337
00:12:44,897 --> 00:12:45,798
look at our health care.
338
00:12:45,898 --> 00:12:46,799
We're not known
for that, right?
339
00:12:46,899 --> 00:12:47,867
We're not known for that.
340
00:12:47,967 --> 00:12:50,603
We're more of a reactive
medicine society.
341
00:12:50,703 --> 00:12:53,306
And, you know, we
have caseworkers.
342
00:12:53,406 --> 00:12:54,373
We have social workers.
343
00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:55,541
We have therapists.
344
00:12:55,574 --> 00:12:58,444
And we also have
people who themselves
345
00:12:58,544 --> 00:12:59,679
were once incarcerated.
346
00:12:59,779 --> 00:13:02,381
Some of our most effective
people in this work
347
00:13:02,481 --> 00:13:05,184
are the former gang
members, people who
348
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:07,119
formerly spent time at Rikers.
349
00:13:07,219 --> 00:13:08,955
I can hear how
Fox News would spin
350
00:13:09,055 --> 00:13:14,026
this as AOC tries to defund the
police and fund gang members.
351
00:13:14,126 --> 00:13:17,263
If I spent my time worried
about Fox News said, I would--
352
00:13:17,363 --> 00:13:18,998
I mean, I wouldn't be here.
353
00:13:19,098 --> 00:13:20,833
We're here in New York City.
354
00:13:20,933 --> 00:13:24,904
And you're talking about
funding violence prevention
355
00:13:25,004 --> 00:13:27,173
outside of the police.
356
00:13:27,273 --> 00:13:31,410
And yet Eric Adams has just
increased police wages by 28%.
357
00:13:31,510 --> 00:13:32,511
Is that misplaced?
358
00:13:32,612 --> 00:13:33,846
I think so.
359
00:13:33,946 --> 00:13:37,950
We are now at a point where
officially most officers are
360
00:13:38,050 --> 00:13:41,988
paid more than a teacher
with a master's degree,
361
00:13:42,088 --> 00:13:44,256
serving these
same kids involved
362
00:13:44,357 --> 00:13:45,524
in these same incidents.
363
00:13:45,625 --> 00:13:50,363
We are defunding safety,
defunding our public schools,
364
00:13:50,529 --> 00:13:55,067
defunding our public
pools, defunding our parks,
365
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:57,069
defunding our libraries.
366
00:13:57,169 --> 00:14:00,306
When we are taking
all of those resources
367
00:14:00,406 --> 00:14:03,142
and demanding that
every single department
368
00:14:03,242 --> 00:14:06,212
except the militarized
one be cut,
369
00:14:06,312 --> 00:14:10,249
we are sending a message about
who and what we care about.
370
00:14:10,349 --> 00:14:13,052
Here in a hospital, do
you ever get the vibes?
371
00:14:13,152 --> 00:14:15,821
Do you ever consider a career
in the medical profession?
372
00:14:15,921 --> 00:14:17,323
It's funny you ask that.
373
00:14:17,490 --> 00:14:20,493
When I went to college, I went
in as a premedical student.
374
00:14:20,526 --> 00:14:21,494
Really?
375
00:14:21,527 --> 00:14:24,931
I wanted to be an
OB/GYN, actually.
376
00:14:25,031 --> 00:14:28,401
But, you know, life takes
us where it takes us.
377
00:14:28,501 --> 00:14:30,569
I considered going into
the medical profession.
378
00:14:30,670 --> 00:14:33,272
I thought I could play
a handsome doctor on TV.
379
00:14:33,372 --> 00:14:34,607
[laughter]
Didn't pan out.
380
00:14:34,707 --> 00:14:36,375
JORDAN KLEPPER (VOICEOVER):
While we were on the subject
381
00:14:36,509 --> 00:14:38,110
of national
embarrassment, I had
382
00:14:38,210 --> 00:14:40,112
to ask the congresswoman
about Clarence Thomas
383
00:14:40,212 --> 00:14:42,848
and his BFF, Nazi swag
collector Harlan Crow.
384
00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:44,283
JORDAN KLEPPER: I want
to talk a little bit
385
00:14:44,383 --> 00:14:45,851
about Clarence Thomas.
386
00:14:45,952 --> 00:14:50,056
You've said you would even
draft articles of impeachment
387
00:14:50,156 --> 00:14:51,590
for the things that he's done.
388
00:14:51,691 --> 00:14:52,591
Yeah.
389
00:14:52,692 --> 00:14:54,160
Has there been
any quid pro quo?
390
00:14:54,260 --> 00:14:55,561
And I said quid
pro quo partially
391
00:14:55,661 --> 00:14:57,530
because it took all
that effort to learn
392
00:14:57,630 --> 00:14:59,999
what quid pro quo meant
back in the Ukraine days.
393
00:15:00,099 --> 00:15:02,468
And it feels apropos of now.
394
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:04,203
And I don't think I
used apropos correctly.
395
00:15:04,303 --> 00:15:07,940
I think that quid pro
quo is this bar that
396
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,609
doesn't even need to be met.
397
00:15:09,709 --> 00:15:12,011
The justice is required by
law to disclose something
398
00:15:12,111 --> 00:15:13,980
like that, and he hasn't been.
399
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,147
Can you empathize though?
400
00:15:15,247 --> 00:15:17,550
Beyoncé came through here
and wanted to take you
401
00:15:17,650 --> 00:15:20,553
on a sweet vacation, wouldn't
you say yes and let her
402
00:15:20,653 --> 00:15:21,887
show you her Nazi memorabilia?
403
00:15:21,988 --> 00:15:23,189
You gotta tell
someone about it.
404
00:15:23,289 --> 00:15:26,492
But, hey-- hey, don't put
Bey's name on that like that.
405
00:15:26,592 --> 00:15:27,760
I'm not saying she has Na--
406
00:15:27,860 --> 00:15:30,329
I'm saying if she invested
in Nazi memorabilia
407
00:15:30,496 --> 00:15:32,498
to show that she hates
Nazi memorabilia,
408
00:15:32,531 --> 00:15:33,599
she'd want to show it off.
409
00:15:33,699 --> 00:15:37,670
And that whole thing
is just, I mean, bizarre.
410
00:15:37,770 --> 00:15:39,805
You also don't keep
the linens around.
411
00:15:39,905 --> 00:15:41,307
Which linens?
Oh, the Nazi linens?
412
00:15:41,407 --> 00:15:42,308
Yeah.
413
00:15:42,408 --> 00:15:43,509
Who does that?
414
00:15:43,542 --> 00:15:45,244
Don't you think if you
had a billion dollars,
415
00:15:45,344 --> 00:15:47,513
and you bought
everything, you'd probably
416
00:15:47,580 --> 00:15:49,148
eventually get to Nazi linens?
417
00:15:49,248 --> 00:15:52,151
This is the distraction
of that whole issue.
418
00:15:52,251 --> 00:15:53,152
You're right.
419
00:15:53,252 --> 00:15:54,820
We're just focused
on that as opposed
420
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,656
to all the money that's going
over to Clarence Thomas.
421
00:15:56,756 --> 00:15:57,790
Although, if you're
a billionaire,
422
00:15:57,890 --> 00:15:59,025
can't billionaires
have friends?
423
00:15:59,125 --> 00:16:00,026
They can.
424
00:16:00,126 --> 00:16:01,627
Supreme Court
justices are required,
425
00:16:01,727 --> 00:16:04,463
if they are receiving
money from people--
426
00:16:04,530 --> 00:16:06,632
they shouldn't even be
receiving money from people.
427
00:16:06,732 --> 00:16:09,468
This is why we pay salaries
to public servants.
428
00:16:09,568 --> 00:16:12,071
And if they want to live
that kind of lifestyle,
429
00:16:12,171 --> 00:16:13,806
then they can resign
from the court.
430
00:16:13,906 --> 00:16:14,807
They can retire.
431
00:16:14,907 --> 00:16:16,542
Now I want to talk
about the court.
432
00:16:16,642 --> 00:16:18,477
It's looking as if the
Supreme Court is going
433
00:16:18,577 --> 00:16:20,346
to rule on some
of the conflicting
434
00:16:20,479 --> 00:16:22,214
rulings around mifepristone.
435
00:16:22,315 --> 00:16:24,684
Who do you think
is going to write
436
00:16:24,784 --> 00:16:26,786
the final decision
that takes away
437
00:16:26,886 --> 00:16:28,054
these vital rights from women?
438
00:16:28,154 --> 00:16:30,389
Is it going to be the
guy who cried over beer,
439
00:16:30,489 --> 00:16:33,392
or is it going to be the buddy
with the Nazi memorabilia guy?
440
00:16:33,492 --> 00:16:40,499
You know, my hope is that
we do not get to that point.
441
00:16:41,734 --> 00:16:45,605
But we also have to face
the reality that the Supreme
442
00:16:45,705 --> 00:16:50,376
Court has chosen to
give up huge swaths
443
00:16:50,509 --> 00:16:51,644
of their own legitimacy.
444
00:16:51,744 --> 00:16:54,413
Chief Justice Roberts, Clarence
Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh,
445
00:16:54,513 --> 00:16:59,251
the Republican Party, in
them giving up, trying
446
00:16:59,352 --> 00:17:03,055
to take seriously
the legitimacy,
447
00:17:03,155 --> 00:17:05,224
the standards, the
integrity of the court,
448
00:17:05,324 --> 00:17:09,462
they have given up a very large
degree of their authority.
449
00:17:09,495 --> 00:17:10,863
The new news in
Florida this week
450
00:17:10,963 --> 00:17:13,866
is the six-week abortion ban.
451
00:17:13,966 --> 00:17:16,102
How do women approach
that or fight
452
00:17:16,202 --> 00:17:17,470
back against
something like that
453
00:17:17,536 --> 00:17:18,604
that's happening in Florida?
454
00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:20,673
Of course,
there's the standard
455
00:17:20,773 --> 00:17:23,609
like vote and mobilize.
456
00:17:23,709 --> 00:17:26,078
But I'm going to put
that aside for a second.
457
00:17:26,178 --> 00:17:30,182
We do not have to
accept tyranny.
458
00:17:30,283 --> 00:17:34,253
And this is a form of tyranny.
459
00:17:34,353 --> 00:17:37,089
It is a form of violence.
460
00:17:37,189 --> 00:17:38,391
Women will die.
461
00:17:38,491 --> 00:17:42,295
People will die because
of this decision.
462
00:17:42,395 --> 00:17:45,031
And it will be by
and large the men who
463
00:17:45,131 --> 00:17:47,500
signed these laws that
are killing the women that
464
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:48,701
will die by them.
465
00:17:48,801 --> 00:17:52,104
And we have a responsibility
to help one another,
466
00:17:52,204 --> 00:17:56,342
whether that is supporting
organizations that mail
467
00:17:56,509 --> 00:17:59,312
mifepristone, which
has significantly
468
00:17:59,412 --> 00:18:02,882
reduced risk, certainly safer
than medications like Viagra.
469
00:18:02,982 --> 00:18:07,987
But, ultimately,
we cannot continue
470
00:18:08,087 --> 00:18:13,292
to accept people in
power who will abuse
471
00:18:13,459 --> 00:18:15,061
others for their own gain.
472
00:18:15,161 --> 00:18:17,163
Indictment week
was last week.
473
00:18:17,263 --> 00:18:19,165
It might also be a
month from now too.
474
00:18:19,265 --> 00:18:21,534
We could have a lot
of indictment weeks.
475
00:18:21,634 --> 00:18:24,070
How do you think
New Yorkers treated
476
00:18:24,170 --> 00:18:25,771
former President Donald Trump?
477
00:18:25,871 --> 00:18:31,344
I think they treated
him like a Florida man.
478
00:18:31,477 --> 00:18:33,012
He don't belong
to us no more, OK?
479
00:18:33,112 --> 00:18:36,015
[laughs] He's not
from Queens anymore.
480
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:38,150
He's a citizen of
Mar-a-Lago at this point.
481
00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:40,086
And you said New Yorkers
treated him as such.
482
00:18:40,186 --> 00:18:41,087
Yeah.
483
00:18:41,187 --> 00:18:42,121
Why wouldn't we?
484
00:18:42,221 --> 00:18:43,789
Do you think people
were weeping when
485
00:18:43,889 --> 00:18:46,659
he was booked, as he claims?
486
00:18:46,759 --> 00:18:49,328
Maybe George Santos
and Marjorie Taylor
487
00:18:49,495 --> 00:18:51,230
Greene were, but not me.
488
00:18:51,330 --> 00:18:52,498
Kick it back to
LaGuardia, baby.
489
00:18:52,531 --> 00:18:53,833
JORDAN KLEPPER: Kick
it back to LaGuardia?
490
00:18:53,933 --> 00:18:55,401
[laughter]
491
00:18:55,501 --> 00:18:56,669
Which is in your district?
492
00:18:56,769 --> 00:18:57,870
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ:
Yes, it's in my district,
493
00:18:57,970 --> 00:18:59,071
and so is Rikers.
494
00:18:59,171 --> 00:19:01,707
And so I have to go
in every single day
495
00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:07,013
watching people get treated
far worse for doing far less.
496
00:19:07,113 --> 00:19:10,549
And then it's like this red
carpet that gets rolled out.
497
00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:15,454
I mean, if you hurt one person,
you get 10 years in prison.
498
00:19:15,554 --> 00:19:17,456
But if you hurt
millions of people,
499
00:19:17,523 --> 00:19:19,558
you get your name
on a building.
500
00:19:19,659 --> 00:19:20,960
Congresswoman, thanks
for talking to me.
501
00:19:21,060 --> 00:19:22,061
Of course.
Thanks for having me.
502
00:19:22,161 --> 00:19:23,129
[cheering]
503
00:19:23,229 --> 00:19:24,664
Stay tuned because
when we come back,
504
00:19:24,764 --> 00:19:26,465
Betty Gilpin will be
joining me on the show.
505
00:19:26,532 --> 00:19:27,466
So don't go away.
506
00:19:27,533 --> 00:19:30,903
[cheering]
507
00:19:38,209 --> 00:19:40,979
[cheering]
508
00:19:44,315 --> 00:19:47,552
Welcome back to
The Daily Show.
509
00:19:47,652 --> 00:19:48,653
My guest tonight is an
Emmy-nominated actor
510
00:19:48,753 --> 00:19:50,755
from GLOW and Gaslit.
511
00:19:50,855 --> 00:19:52,523
She's here to talk about
her new drama series
512
00:19:52,624 --> 00:19:54,826
for Peacock called Mrs. Davis.
513
00:19:54,926 --> 00:19:56,995
Your costume, what's it from?
514
00:19:57,095 --> 00:19:58,096
It's not from anything.
515
00:19:58,196 --> 00:19:59,097
I'm a nun.
516
00:19:59,197 --> 00:20:01,165
[laughs]
517
00:20:01,266 --> 00:20:02,634
Like, for real?
518
00:20:02,734 --> 00:20:03,635
Yeah, for real.
519
00:20:03,735 --> 00:20:04,636
Cool.
520
00:20:04,736 --> 00:20:05,837
Didn't know they
had those anymore.
521
00:20:05,937 --> 00:20:08,072
The Swedish meatball
tray is empty.
522
00:20:08,172 --> 00:20:09,173
Are you going to get more?
523
00:20:09,274 --> 00:20:11,676
Oh, yeah, sure.
524
00:20:11,776 --> 00:20:12,677
Oh, right now?
525
00:20:12,777 --> 00:20:16,514
OK, gotcha.
526
00:20:16,614 --> 00:20:18,416
No, I am not talking it.
527
00:20:18,516 --> 00:20:20,451
I'm eating.
528
00:20:20,551 --> 00:20:25,556
(TOGETHER) Will you take a
photo of our family, please?
529
00:20:25,657 --> 00:20:28,493
Yes, of course, I will.
530
00:20:28,593 --> 00:20:29,827
Please, welcome Betty Gilpin.
531
00:20:29,928 --> 00:20:36,935
[cheering]
532
00:20:44,876 --> 00:20:47,912
Betty, welcome to
The Daily Show.
533
00:20:48,012 --> 00:20:49,047
Thanks, for
having me, Jordan.
534
00:20:49,147 --> 00:20:50,348
Of course.
535
00:20:50,448 --> 00:20:52,150
Now, there's a lot of buzz
around this Mrs. Davis show.
536
00:20:52,250 --> 00:20:53,251
- Is there?
- There is buzz.
537
00:20:53,351 --> 00:20:55,053
- Great.
- You're part of it, right?
538
00:20:55,153 --> 00:20:56,120
This is what you want, right?
539
00:20:56,220 --> 00:20:57,388
Yeah, I think so.
540
00:20:57,488 --> 00:20:58,656
JORDAN KLEPPER: No,
you're doing great!
541
00:20:58,823 --> 00:21:00,258
She's doing great!
Betty's doing great, right?
542
00:21:00,358 --> 00:21:02,727
[cheering]
543
00:21:02,827 --> 00:21:03,728
It's funny.
544
00:21:03,828 --> 00:21:05,863
I watch a clip like that.
545
00:21:05,964 --> 00:21:07,031
There's a lot going
on, and there's
546
00:21:07,131 --> 00:21:08,032
a lot going on in the show.
547
00:21:08,132 --> 00:21:09,200
So much going on, yeah.
548
00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:10,602
In fact, they've
told us-- they're like,
549
00:21:10,702 --> 00:21:11,669
there's a lot of spoilers.
550
00:21:11,836 --> 00:21:12,837
Yeah.
551
00:21:12,904 --> 00:21:14,572
You can't talk
about certain things.
552
00:21:14,672 --> 00:21:16,007
BETTY GILPIN: So many
things you can't talk
553
00:21:16,107 --> 00:21:17,375
about, impossible to promote.
554
00:21:17,475 --> 00:21:20,445
I'm not used to doing
something so plot heavy.
555
00:21:20,545 --> 00:21:22,647
Usually, the plot
of things I do are,
556
00:21:22,747 --> 00:21:24,983
like, when is she going
to sob or have sex?
557
00:21:25,083 --> 00:21:28,152
And that's kind of like the
plot twists for that episode.
558
00:21:28,253 --> 00:21:29,454
Screenwriting 101, right?
559
00:21:29,554 --> 00:21:30,521
Yeah, exactly.
560
00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:32,957
And this plot is like
a Rubik's cube had
561
00:21:33,057 --> 00:21:34,659
sex with a haunted calculator.
562
00:21:34,759 --> 00:21:35,893
[laughter]
563
00:21:35,994 --> 00:21:36,894
It's the best.
564
00:21:36,995 --> 00:21:37,996
JORDAN KLEPPER: I
feel like there's
565
00:21:38,096 --> 00:21:39,464
a bunch of different
genres going on in this.
566
00:21:39,564 --> 00:21:40,865
Yes, like a hundred
different gen--
567
00:21:40,965 --> 00:21:43,568
I keep saying, it's like no
country for old Looney Tunes
568
00:21:43,668 --> 00:21:44,569
is the genre.
569
00:21:44,669 --> 00:21:45,637
That's about right, right?
570
00:21:45,803 --> 00:21:46,904
Yeah.
571
00:21:47,005 --> 00:21:50,808
In a nutshell, a spoiler-free
nutshell, essentially,
572
00:21:50,842 --> 00:21:53,311
you are a nun who's
part of the resistance,
573
00:21:53,411 --> 00:21:55,413
fighting an all-knowing AI.
574
00:21:55,513 --> 00:21:56,414
Yes.
575
00:21:56,514 --> 00:21:57,582
Yeah, so the show kind of--
576
00:21:57,682 --> 00:21:58,917
JORDAN KLEPPER: It almost
sounded like a joke
577
00:21:59,017 --> 00:21:59,918
as I called that premise.
578
00:22:00,018 --> 00:22:01,185
Yeah.
579
00:22:01,286 --> 00:22:02,820
It's like, oh, Hollywood
and these old cliches, right?
580
00:22:02,887 --> 00:22:05,490
Right, or like ChatGPT
wrote that synopsis.
581
00:22:05,590 --> 00:22:06,624
Yeah.
582
00:22:06,724 --> 00:22:09,827
Yeah, it's a society not
unlike our own, but one
583
00:22:09,861 --> 00:22:14,832
where an AI or an algorithm
like Siri or Alexa
584
00:22:14,933 --> 00:22:17,335
called Mrs. Davis has
kind of taken over,
585
00:22:17,435 --> 00:22:19,871
is in everyone's ear,
purports to be benevolent.
586
00:22:19,971 --> 00:22:23,241
And there's a small faction
of society, myself, a nun,
587
00:22:23,341 --> 00:22:28,146
included that thinks she or it
is evil and not to be trusted.
588
00:22:28,246 --> 00:22:29,180
Now, how do you train?
589
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,315
Because there's a
lot of fighting.
590
00:22:30,415 --> 00:22:31,649
How do you train to
be a fighting nun?
591
00:22:31,749 --> 00:22:33,051
Is it-- is it--
- Yeah.
592
00:22:33,151 --> 00:22:34,052
Is it Kung Fu?
593
00:22:34,152 --> 00:22:35,219
Is it Bible?
594
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,955
You know, it's more--
595
00:22:37,055 --> 00:22:40,325
yeah, after GLOW, it's--
596
00:22:40,425 --> 00:22:43,294
that felt like falling down
a cement staircase every day.
597
00:22:43,394 --> 00:22:45,797
So this was like, yeah, I
guess I fall on my butt, like,
598
00:22:45,830 --> 00:22:46,798
three times in the show.
599
00:22:46,898 --> 00:22:48,566
It's not as comparable.
600
00:22:48,666 --> 00:22:52,604
But I Zoomed with
nuns to prepare.
601
00:22:52,704 --> 00:22:53,605
Is that sacrilegious?
602
00:22:53,705 --> 00:22:54,606
Can you do that?
603
00:22:54,706 --> 00:22:56,507
Yeah, no, they love to Zoom.
604
00:22:56,608 --> 00:22:57,976
They're Zoomers.
Yeah.
605
00:22:58,076 --> 00:22:59,444
They're like,
breaks the monotony.
606
00:22:59,544 --> 00:23:00,511
Thank you.
What do you want to know?
607
00:23:00,612 --> 00:23:01,579
Typically, yeah.
608
00:23:01,679 --> 00:23:02,714
Did you ask them at
all about fighting?
609
00:23:02,814 --> 00:23:04,048
Like, if you had
to fight, I know
610
00:23:04,148 --> 00:23:05,216
it's not your first go to.
611
00:23:05,316 --> 00:23:06,584
But if you had to,
what would you do?
612
00:23:06,684 --> 00:23:07,585
Yeah.
613
00:23:07,685 --> 00:23:09,821
I mean, I think
on screen, we're
614
00:23:09,921 --> 00:23:13,358
used to seeing either,
like, one-dimensional, climb
615
00:23:13,458 --> 00:23:16,728
every mountain, pious
nuns, or horror movie nuns
616
00:23:16,828 --> 00:23:18,563
with, like, blood coming
out of their eyes.
617
00:23:18,663 --> 00:23:22,667
And the nuns I spoke to
were three very different,
618
00:23:22,834 --> 00:23:24,068
multifaceted women.
619
00:23:24,168 --> 00:23:27,538
And while I don't hold the same
belief system that they hold,
620
00:23:27,639 --> 00:23:30,975
I was very impressed
and had to kind of check
621
00:23:31,075 --> 00:23:33,077
the cliche of them
that I had in my head,
622
00:23:33,177 --> 00:23:34,279
which was very wrong.
623
00:23:34,379 --> 00:23:37,048
So none of them had blood
coming from their eyes?
624
00:23:37,148 --> 00:23:38,516
- No, not one.
- Really?
625
00:23:38,616 --> 00:23:40,218
Maybe the second they
de-Zoomed, they're like,
626
00:23:40,318 --> 00:23:42,587
OK, we can-- we can cry blood.
627
00:23:42,687 --> 00:23:43,821
Yeah.
628
00:23:43,922 --> 00:23:44,956
Water turned to
blood, it's part
629
00:23:45,056 --> 00:23:46,057
of the whole religious thing.
630
00:23:46,157 --> 00:23:47,258
Yeah, I haven't read up on it.
631
00:23:47,358 --> 00:23:48,693
But I think that's how it
goes down in the Bible.
632
00:23:48,793 --> 00:23:49,694
I think that's what happens.
633
00:23:49,794 --> 00:23:51,496
Yeah, chapter 3 of the Bible.
634
00:23:51,596 --> 00:23:54,599
Now, what is your
relationship with AI?
635
00:23:54,699 --> 00:23:55,800
Are you fearful of it?
636
00:23:55,867 --> 00:23:58,036
You're a wonderful writer
as well as an actress.
637
00:23:58,136 --> 00:23:59,103
Thanks.
638
00:23:59,203 --> 00:24:01,272
Do you look at something
like even ChatGPT?
639
00:24:01,372 --> 00:24:03,641
Do you fear that it's
coming for your jobs?
640
00:24:03,808 --> 00:24:06,611
Yeah, it's really scary.
641
00:24:06,711 --> 00:24:08,680
I mean, the internet
in general, it's weird.
642
00:24:08,813 --> 00:24:10,682
I have a two and
a half year old.
643
00:24:10,815 --> 00:24:11,849
We were talking backstage.
So do I.
644
00:24:11,950 --> 00:24:12,951
He has peers.
645
00:24:13,051 --> 00:24:13,985
They're going to be
betrothed to each other.
646
00:24:14,085 --> 00:24:14,986
We arrange their marriage.
- Yes.
647
00:24:15,086 --> 00:24:16,187
Oh, sorry.
We should-- yeah, yeah.
648
00:24:16,287 --> 00:24:18,990
Yeah, Whit, FYI, we've
been doing-- you're fine.
649
00:24:19,090 --> 00:24:19,991
It's actually-- yeah.
650
00:24:20,091 --> 00:24:21,392
Everything's great.
651
00:24:21,492 --> 00:24:24,329
But, you know, I try to
limit her screen time.
652
00:24:24,429 --> 00:24:26,631
And I snatch phones away
from her like it's poison.
653
00:24:26,731 --> 00:24:29,634
And then I myself can't
pee without watching
654
00:24:29,734 --> 00:24:31,135
Millie Bobby Brown
take a lie detector
655
00:24:31,235 --> 00:24:33,171
test because I'm so addicted.
656
00:24:33,271 --> 00:24:34,739
I'm addicted to
the thing that I'm
657
00:24:34,839 --> 00:24:36,174
telling my daughter is poison.
658
00:24:36,274 --> 00:24:37,275
So I don't know.
659
00:24:37,375 --> 00:24:38,776
I have to get right
with that before she's
660
00:24:38,876 --> 00:24:40,144
on the grid of understanding.
661
00:24:40,245 --> 00:24:44,415
But in terms of AI,
I think our show,
662
00:24:44,515 --> 00:24:47,018
Mrs. Davis on
Peacock, April 20,
663
00:24:47,118 --> 00:24:50,121
is kind of asking the same
question that we are asking
664
00:24:50,221 --> 00:24:53,057
now, which is, are you
our savior, or are you
665
00:24:53,157 --> 00:24:54,926
our downfall, to AI.
666
00:24:55,026 --> 00:24:58,463
And even when we
were filming, ChatGPT
667
00:24:58,563 --> 00:25:00,331
six months ago
wasn't as much a part
668
00:25:00,431 --> 00:25:02,166
of the headlines as it is now.
669
00:25:02,267 --> 00:25:03,334
And I don't know.
670
00:25:03,434 --> 00:25:04,836
It's really scary.
JORDAN KLEPPER: It is scary.
671
00:25:04,936 --> 00:25:06,671
- Yeah.
- I feel like this show--
672
00:25:06,804 --> 00:25:08,873
it kind of asks that
question, or it looks to ask--
673
00:25:08,973 --> 00:25:12,010
when you look at guidance,
do you turn to technology,
674
00:25:12,110 --> 00:25:13,578
or do you turn to God?
675
00:25:13,678 --> 00:25:14,879
Yeah.
676
00:25:14,979 --> 00:25:17,348
Like, are you a God believer
or an Elon Musk believer?
677
00:25:17,448 --> 00:25:18,917
- Right.
- Sort of--
678
00:25:19,017 --> 00:25:20,318
Right.
679
00:25:20,418 --> 00:25:21,519
Where do you
fall in that line?
680
00:25:21,619 --> 00:25:22,854
Have you have you
picked a side yet?
681
00:25:22,954 --> 00:25:23,855
I mean--
682
00:25:23,955 --> 00:25:24,856
JORDAN KLEPPER:
One's got rockets.
683
00:25:24,956 --> 00:25:25,857
Right.
Yeah.
684
00:25:25,957 --> 00:25:27,058
[laughter]
685
00:25:27,158 --> 00:25:28,159
Yeah.
686
00:25:28,259 --> 00:25:31,863
I mean, I myself am
not a person of faith.
687
00:25:31,963 --> 00:25:34,032
But I do think this show
has made me think a lot
688
00:25:34,132 --> 00:25:37,669
about church and the
internet being these two
689
00:25:37,769 --> 00:25:42,974
sort of institutional responses
to the same human question
690
00:25:43,074 --> 00:25:46,678
sort of, of asking
why and wandering
691
00:25:46,778 --> 00:25:49,514
and wanting to-- wondering
and wandering and wanting
692
00:25:49,614 --> 00:25:50,782
to connect with each other.
693
00:25:50,882 --> 00:25:53,418
And I think we often use
church and the internet
694
00:25:53,518 --> 00:25:57,188
to do the opposite of what
they were probably built for,
695
00:25:57,288 --> 00:25:59,090
which is to connect and wonder.
696
00:25:59,190 --> 00:26:03,127
And we use it to disconnect and
to provide all of the answers
697
00:26:03,227 --> 00:26:04,996
in your echo chamber.
698
00:26:05,096 --> 00:26:06,431
And I think--
699
00:26:06,531 --> 00:26:08,266
I look at my
daughter, and I hope
700
00:26:08,366 --> 00:26:09,968
that we're just the
generation driving
701
00:26:10,068 --> 00:26:12,837
without seatbelts, using this
to disconnect and get dumber.
702
00:26:12,937 --> 00:26:15,306
Maybe they can use it to
connect and get smarter.
703
00:26:15,406 --> 00:26:17,275
But I don't know.
704
00:26:17,375 --> 00:26:18,443
Probably not.
705
00:26:18,543 --> 00:26:22,580
[applause]
706
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,649
What is your
daughter obsessed with?
707
00:26:24,816 --> 00:26:27,185
My son loves Gabby's
Dollhouse and Bluey.
708
00:26:27,285 --> 00:26:28,653
That's going nonstop
in our house.
709
00:26:28,820 --> 00:26:30,421
Yeah, I mean, she pooped
her pants on Easter.
710
00:26:30,521 --> 00:26:32,090
So I don't know if she's,
like, the future of AI.
711
00:26:32,190 --> 00:26:33,091
Yeah.
712
00:26:33,191 --> 00:26:34,359
Yeah.
713
00:26:34,459 --> 00:26:36,327
But-- oh, sorry, Mary.
714
00:26:36,427 --> 00:26:37,762
[laughter]
715
00:26:37,862 --> 00:26:39,530
She's like, are you kidding?
716
00:26:39,631 --> 00:26:43,801
Yeah, she's into-- she's
like a fluffy Thor Lebowski
717
00:26:43,901 --> 00:26:45,503
as a two-year-old girl.
718
00:26:45,603 --> 00:26:46,638
She's awesome.
719
00:26:46,771 --> 00:26:47,772
A Thor Lebowski?
720
00:26:47,805 --> 00:26:48,873
Yeah, finally.
721
00:26:48,973 --> 00:26:50,775
Now, part of what's
exciting about Mrs. Davis,
722
00:26:50,875 --> 00:26:53,311
Damon Lindelof is one
of the creators of this
723
00:26:53,411 --> 00:26:55,246
from the Watchmen, Lost days.
724
00:26:55,346 --> 00:26:57,782
I feel like Watchmen was
such a compelling storyline
725
00:26:57,882 --> 00:27:00,285
that came at big topics
from a different angle.
726
00:27:00,385 --> 00:27:01,286
Yeah.
727
00:27:01,386 --> 00:27:03,488
And, also, it had
the story unfold
728
00:27:03,588 --> 00:27:07,125
in a way that feels both mature
and like it's cutting ground.
729
00:27:07,225 --> 00:27:08,293
You've worked with him before.
730
00:27:08,393 --> 00:27:09,560
Yes.
731
00:27:09,661 --> 00:27:11,362
I wonder like what drew
you to working with him again
732
00:27:11,462 --> 00:27:12,797
and what it was
about this project
733
00:27:12,830 --> 00:27:14,632
that you found interesting in
its storytelling technique.
734
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:15,700
Yeah.
735
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,336
So he-- Damon Lindelof
and Tara Hernandez
736
00:27:18,436 --> 00:27:19,804
created this show together.
737
00:27:19,871 --> 00:27:21,806
And they are both
geniuses at (SOFTLY)
738
00:27:21,873 --> 00:27:23,574
what I believe you're
genius at, too,
739
00:27:23,675 --> 00:27:25,410
Jordan Klepper, which is--
740
00:27:25,510 --> 00:27:26,678
[laughter]
741
00:27:26,811 --> 00:27:27,712
Go on.
742
00:27:27,812 --> 00:27:29,080
You don't have to
say it like a robot.
743
00:27:29,180 --> 00:27:30,081
I mean, that's--
744
00:27:30,181 --> 00:27:32,483
[laughter]
745
00:27:32,584 --> 00:27:34,485
Well, I think you're a
genius at this as well.
746
00:27:34,586 --> 00:27:35,486
Thank you.
Did we get that?
747
00:27:35,587 --> 00:27:37,055
We got that clean?
- Yeah, to camera.
748
00:27:37,155 --> 00:27:38,056
Sorry.
- Perfect.
749
00:27:38,156 --> 00:27:39,524
[applause]
750
00:27:39,624 --> 00:27:43,161
They hide a thesis statement
in farce, which I think
751
00:27:43,261 --> 00:27:45,096
oftentimes, when
we're sitting down
752
00:27:45,196 --> 00:27:47,865
to decide what to watch
on TV every night,
753
00:27:47,966 --> 00:27:51,836
we often are faced with
either joyful and mindless
754
00:27:51,936 --> 00:27:53,838
or important and depressing.
755
00:27:53,938 --> 00:27:56,341
And I think finding
joyful and important
756
00:27:56,441 --> 00:27:58,977
is hard to do but possible.
757
00:27:59,077 --> 00:28:01,980
And I think Damon and Tara
both do it really beautifully.
758
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,016
And I think our show
is an example of that.
759
00:28:05,116 --> 00:28:06,918
And this show is an
example of that for sure.
760
00:28:07,018 --> 00:28:08,953
Joyful and-- and what?
761
00:28:09,053 --> 00:28:10,588
- Important.
- Oh, right, right.
762
00:28:10,688 --> 00:28:11,789
Yeah.
763
00:28:11,823 --> 00:28:12,790
Joyful and important, yes.
764
00:28:12,824 --> 00:28:13,791
Yes.
765
00:28:13,825 --> 00:28:15,026
The first four
episodes of Mrs. Davis
766
00:28:15,126 --> 00:28:17,228
will premiere on
Peacock on April 20.
767
00:28:17,328 --> 00:28:18,663
We're going to
take a quick break,
768
00:28:18,796 --> 00:28:19,897
but we'll be right
back after this.
769
00:28:19,998 --> 00:28:22,000
[cheering]
770
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:25,436
[music playing]
771
00:28:30,974 --> 00:28:32,209
That's our show for tonight.
772
00:28:32,309 --> 00:28:35,179
Now here it is,
your Moment of Zen.
773
00:28:35,279 --> 00:28:42,252
[band playing]
774
00:28:52,563 --> 00:28:54,298
