1
00:00:01,011 --> 00:00:01,978
How many people celebrate
2
00:00:02,078 --> 00:00:03,246
New Year's resolutions here?
3
00:00:03,346 --> 00:00:04,848
You seem like
a New Year's resolution guy.
4
00:00:04,948 --> 00:00:07,050
Yeah? That's the only thing
I'm gonna miss
5
00:00:07,150 --> 00:00:09,719
when the pandemic ends,
is, like...
6
00:00:09,819 --> 00:00:12,155
Like, I'm-I'm enjoying
7
00:00:12,255 --> 00:00:15,091
that now New Year's resolutions
are attainable things.
8
00:00:15,191 --> 00:00:16,493
Before, we just used to say shit
9
00:00:16,593 --> 00:00:17,894
that would depress us
after, like, a month
10
00:00:17,994 --> 00:00:19,829
'cause we couldn't do it.
Do you know what I mean?
11
00:00:19,930 --> 00:00:22,666
But now because of the pandemic,
all your resolutions
12
00:00:22,766 --> 00:00:25,201
have to be shit
that you just can do.
13
00:00:25,302 --> 00:00:27,170
You can't go to the gym now.
There's no, like,
14
00:00:27,270 --> 00:00:28,972
"I'm gonna go to the..."
You can't go to the gym.
15
00:00:29,072 --> 00:00:30,607
I mean, you can try,
but you can't really.
16
00:00:30,707 --> 00:00:31,775
You never know.
They'll stop you,
17
00:00:31,875 --> 00:00:32,876
and then you're like,
"Ah, I didn't..."
18
00:00:32,976 --> 00:00:34,244
You know what I mean?
19
00:00:34,344 --> 00:00:36,012
Like, the pandemic
shuts your shit down for you,
20
00:00:36,112 --> 00:00:37,781
which I'm gonna miss,
is what I'm saying.
21
00:00:37,881 --> 00:00:39,482
Now I make all my resolutions
22
00:00:39,583 --> 00:00:42,018
things that I would...
wouldn't do normally,
23
00:00:42,118 --> 00:00:45,255
like, as a resolution
but are achievable now.
24
00:00:45,355 --> 00:00:47,657
So, now I'm like, "Ah, I need to
catch up on all those TV shows."
25
00:00:47,757 --> 00:00:49,259
That's my New Year's resolution.
26
00:00:49,359 --> 00:00:51,595
Succession. I'm doing it, baby.
27
00:00:51,695 --> 00:00:53,430
And then when I'm done,
I'm like, "Look at this.
28
00:00:53,530 --> 00:00:55,065
The year's still on track."
29
00:00:55,165 --> 00:00:57,434
Do you know what I mean?
I'm just in that zone.
30
00:00:57,534 --> 00:01:00,103
"I need to eat all those chips
before they get stale."
31
00:01:00,203 --> 00:01:02,372
That's a resolution.
32
00:01:02,472 --> 00:01:03,740
And you know what? I'm on track.
33
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,976
Everything. I've just made
all my resolutions
34
00:01:06,109 --> 00:01:08,278
about shit that I do
in the house, you know?
35
00:01:08,378 --> 00:01:10,247
Make sure
I use appliances a bit more.
36
00:01:10,347 --> 00:01:12,649
More microwave.
You know, get it going.
37
00:01:12,749 --> 00:01:14,851
You know?
Use the scale in the bathroom.
38
00:01:14,951 --> 00:01:17,454
You-you never think about
whether your scale works or not.
39
00:01:17,554 --> 00:01:18,922
I'm... This year, my resolution
40
00:01:19,022 --> 00:01:21,258
is to see
how high the numbers can go.
41
00:01:21,358 --> 00:01:23,793
Just... You know? Like a car.
You know, like, sometimes
42
00:01:23,894 --> 00:01:25,428
you just rev the engine
to get things going.
43
00:01:25,528 --> 00:01:26,930
I want to do that
on the scale, as well.
44
00:01:27,030 --> 00:01:28,431
(imitating engine revving)
"Get it to 250.
45
00:01:28,531 --> 00:01:30,200
Come on."
46
00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:31,902
That's essentially a resolution.
47
00:01:32,002 --> 00:01:34,037
And I'm not failing yet.
48
00:01:34,137 --> 00:01:35,438
It's actually made me realize...
49
00:01:35,538 --> 00:01:36,773
This pandemic
has made me realize
50
00:01:36,873 --> 00:01:39,042
that resolutions
are all about perspective.
51
00:01:39,142 --> 00:01:42,412
You know? You think about it
as things that are unattainable,
52
00:01:42,512 --> 00:01:44,648
but if you make it things
that you were gonna do anyways,
53
00:01:44,748 --> 00:01:46,917
you're only succeeding in life.
54
00:01:47,017 --> 00:01:49,419
ANNOUNCER: Coming to you
from the heart of Times Square

00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:52,255
in New York City,
the only city in America,

00:01:52,355 --> 00:01:54,558
it's The Daily Show.
57
00:01:54,658 --> 00:01:57,827
Tonight, Boris partied too hard,
58
00:01:57,928 --> 00:02:00,363
Klepper confronts Matt Gaetz,
59
00:02:00,463 --> 00:02:03,166
and Ariana DeBose.
60
00:02:03,266 --> 00:02:07,771
This is
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
61
00:02:07,871 --> 00:02:09,873
Hey! What's going on, everybody?
62
00:02:09,973 --> 00:02:11,474
Welcome to The Daily Show.
I'm Trevor Noah.
63
00:02:11,575 --> 00:02:14,377
Let's jump straight
into today's headlines.
64
00:02:14,477 --> 00:02:16,379
♪ ♪
65
00:02:16,479 --> 00:02:19,916
We kick things off
with Donald Jumanji Trump,
66
00:02:20,016 --> 00:02:22,452
America's 45th best president.
67
00:02:22,552 --> 00:02:25,388
Last weekend,
he was back on the rally circuit
68
00:02:25,488 --> 00:02:28,491
kicking off his campaign
to reclaim the Oval Office
69
00:02:28,592 --> 00:02:31,761
and the White House
Disney+ account.
70
00:02:31,861 --> 00:02:34,397
But Trump might want
to slow his roll a little bit,
71
00:02:34,497 --> 00:02:36,499
because it turns out
he's not the only one
72
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,735
making plans for his future.
73
00:02:38,835 --> 00:02:40,470
Former U.S. President
Donald Trump,
74
00:02:40,570 --> 00:02:43,607
he is in hot water today with
the New York attorney general.
75
00:02:43,707 --> 00:02:47,744
Letitia James says her team
has uncovered numerous instances
76
00:02:47,844 --> 00:02:51,781
of "fraudulent
or misleading practices
77
00:02:51,882 --> 00:02:53,950
"related
to the Trump Organization's
78
00:02:54,050 --> 00:02:55,619
financial documents."
79
00:02:55,719 --> 00:02:57,454
NEWSWOMAN: The case
also turning up the heat
80
00:02:57,554 --> 00:02:59,155
on Trump's children,
81
00:02:59,189 --> 00:03:02,092
who James says
"have been closely involved
82
00:03:02,158 --> 00:03:03,627
with the transactions
in question."
83
00:03:03,727 --> 00:03:05,829
Investigators
now taking legal action
84
00:03:05,929 --> 00:03:09,466
to compel Ivanka and Don Jr.
to comply with subpoenas
85
00:03:09,566 --> 00:03:11,668
and appear for sworn testimony
86
00:03:11,768 --> 00:03:13,670
about the company's
financial dealings.
87
00:03:13,770 --> 00:03:15,939
NEWSMAN:
Investigators say in 2016,
88
00:03:16,106 --> 00:03:17,841
Trump claimed his triplex
89
00:03:17,941 --> 00:03:21,111
was worth about $327 million
90
00:03:21,177 --> 00:03:23,647
because it was
over 30,000 square feet.
91
00:03:23,747 --> 00:03:25,115
In reality,
92
00:03:25,215 --> 00:03:28,652
the A.G.'s office says
it was 11,000 square feet.
93
00:03:28,752 --> 00:03:31,454
They say the Trump CFO,
Allen Weisselberg,
94
00:03:31,555 --> 00:03:33,423
charged
in a separate criminal case,
95
00:03:33,523 --> 00:03:35,959
admitted the value
of Trump's apartment
96
00:03:36,126 --> 00:03:37,227
was overstated
97
00:03:37,327 --> 00:03:40,797
by, give or take, $200 million.
98
00:03:40,897 --> 00:03:44,401
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Donald, no.
99
00:03:44,501 --> 00:03:46,403
You can't exaggerate
your apartment's value
100
00:03:46,503 --> 00:03:49,005
by $200 million.
101
00:03:49,139 --> 00:03:50,840
I mean, I get it
if it was an NFT,
102
00:03:50,941 --> 00:03:53,410
but this is an apartment,
my friend.
103
00:03:53,510 --> 00:03:54,611
I mean, at the same time,
104
00:03:54,711 --> 00:03:56,012
Donald Trump
does not give a (bleep).
105
00:03:56,146 --> 00:03:58,848
Let's be honest. This dude
will brag about himself
106
00:03:58,949 --> 00:04:00,483
even if it gets him in trouble.
107
00:04:00,584 --> 00:04:02,385
I bet when a cop asks him
108
00:04:02,485 --> 00:04:04,321
if he knows how fast
he was going, he's like,
109
00:04:04,421 --> 00:04:07,257
"Yeah, I do.
400 billion miles a second,
110
00:04:07,357 --> 00:04:09,559
"the fastest
anyone has ever gone.
111
00:04:09,659 --> 00:04:11,094
"I was so fast.
112
00:04:11,194 --> 00:04:12,495
"So fast.
113
00:04:12,596 --> 00:04:14,931
"Do you want to test it again?
So fast.
114
00:04:15,098 --> 00:04:17,767
Ask me what I've been drinking.
All of it."
115
00:04:17,867 --> 00:04:19,502
And, look, I get on Trump
for a lot of stuff,
116
00:04:19,603 --> 00:04:21,538
but I can't get mad at him
for this
117
00:04:21,638 --> 00:04:25,108
because deep down,
he's just a landlord.
118
00:04:25,175 --> 00:04:28,812
And this is what every landlord
in New York does.
119
00:04:28,912 --> 00:04:31,214
They'll say an apartment
has three bedrooms.
120
00:04:31,314 --> 00:04:33,116
Then you get there,
two of the bedrooms
121
00:04:33,183 --> 00:04:34,918
are somehow in the kitchen.
122
00:04:35,018 --> 00:04:36,453
But it's still the best deal
for your budget
123
00:04:36,553 --> 00:04:37,654
so you sleep in the dishwasher.
124
00:04:37,754 --> 00:04:39,189
I mean, it is what it is.
125
00:04:39,289 --> 00:04:40,690
All right, but let's move on
to the question
126
00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:42,259
everyone's been asking--
127
00:04:42,359 --> 00:04:44,694
what the hell happened
to that package I ordered?
128
00:04:44,794 --> 00:04:46,663
Well, it turns out
your asshole neighbor
129
00:04:46,763 --> 00:04:48,698
didn't swipe it off
your front porch this time.
130
00:04:48,798 --> 00:04:51,201
It actually got snatched
long before that.
131
00:04:51,301 --> 00:04:53,937
If you ordered something
from Amazon and didn't get it,
132
00:04:54,037 --> 00:04:55,538
it could be in this mess.
133
00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:57,440
This is the scene
in Los Angeles,
134
00:04:57,540 --> 00:05:01,111
as trains carrying crates
of orders are being robbed,
135
00:05:01,211 --> 00:05:03,413
with packages strewn
around the tracks.
136
00:05:03,513 --> 00:05:05,782
NEWSMAN: As freight trains
slow down or come to a halt,
137
00:05:05,882 --> 00:05:08,618
the thieves leap on board
with bolt cutters,
138
00:05:08,718 --> 00:05:10,086
open giant containers
139
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,655
and take whatever they want.
140
00:05:11,755 --> 00:05:13,390
This is what they leave behind--
141
00:05:13,490 --> 00:05:14,691
all these boxes,
142
00:05:14,791 --> 00:05:16,393
some empty, some not.
143
00:05:16,493 --> 00:05:19,863
Look, this box was full
of COVID home testing kits,
144
00:05:19,963 --> 00:05:21,131
a precious product,
145
00:05:21,231 --> 00:05:23,099
tough to buy at many pharmacies.
146
00:05:23,166 --> 00:05:26,102
This Amazon envelope
wasn't even opened.
147
00:05:26,136 --> 00:05:28,104
The thieves just tossed it away.
148
00:05:28,138 --> 00:05:29,973
This track strewn with boxes
149
00:05:30,106 --> 00:05:32,475
stretches as far as you can see
in both directions.
150
00:05:32,576 --> 00:05:35,378
This entire area was cleaned up
in mid-December,
151
00:05:35,478 --> 00:05:36,880
which means that all of this
152
00:05:36,980 --> 00:05:39,950
came from train robberies
in just the last month.
153
00:05:40,116 --> 00:05:41,585
Goddamn.
154
00:05:41,685 --> 00:05:43,420
Did you see that mess?
155
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,290
It's like a Thomas the Tank
Engine episode of Hoarders.
156
00:05:47,390 --> 00:05:48,558
This shit is crazy.
157
00:05:48,658 --> 00:05:51,027
And how could this happen
in Joe Biden's America?
158
00:05:51,127 --> 00:05:53,363
The president loves trains.
159
00:05:53,463 --> 00:05:56,466
And now they're getting robbed
all willy-nilly?
160
00:05:56,566 --> 00:05:58,134
That's not right, people.
161
00:05:58,235 --> 00:06:00,303
This is like if, during
the Clinton administration,
162
00:06:00,403 --> 00:06:02,072
everyone was robbing blow jobs.
163
00:06:02,138 --> 00:06:04,107
It's unacceptable.
164
00:06:04,207 --> 00:06:06,376
I mean, what
if those packages contained,
165
00:06:06,476 --> 00:06:09,112
like, your grandmother's
blood pressure medication?
166
00:06:09,212 --> 00:06:10,881
Depending on how you feel
about your grandmother,
167
00:06:10,981 --> 00:06:12,883
that could be a disaster.
168
00:06:12,983 --> 00:06:14,184
And the worst part is that,
169
00:06:14,284 --> 00:06:15,685
when they don't want
the packages,
170
00:06:15,785 --> 00:06:17,220
they just leave them
on the ground.
171
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,522
I mean,
they even ditched COVID tests,
172
00:06:19,623 --> 00:06:21,191
which is just dumb.
173
00:06:21,291 --> 00:06:24,194
Those tests are worth more
than the actual train.
174
00:06:24,294 --> 00:06:26,229
And you know what this means,
right?
175
00:06:26,329 --> 00:06:28,098
Yeah, knowing how picky
these robbers are
176
00:06:28,131 --> 00:06:30,567
is gonna make Valentine's Day
extra stressful.
177
00:06:30,667 --> 00:06:33,503
Because either your surprise
gift doesn't show up
178
00:06:33,603 --> 00:06:35,238
and your girl is pissed off
179
00:06:35,338 --> 00:06:36,773
or it does show up
180
00:06:36,873 --> 00:06:38,642
and she's still pissed off.
181
00:06:38,742 --> 00:06:40,777
"Well, if this necklace
was so great,
182
00:06:40,877 --> 00:06:44,114
why didn't anyone steal it off
a train, you cheap-ass bitch?"
183
00:06:44,214 --> 00:06:46,216
And, no, I don't think
these robberies should be used
184
00:06:46,316 --> 00:06:48,151
as an excuse to have
more police in America.
185
00:06:48,251 --> 00:06:49,352
I know people
are gonna say that.
186
00:06:49,452 --> 00:06:50,887
You don't need more police
for this.
187
00:06:50,987 --> 00:06:54,424
All you need
is to fill one random train car
188
00:06:54,524 --> 00:06:55,792
with angry bees.
189
00:06:55,892 --> 00:06:57,827
(buzzing)
190
00:06:57,928 --> 00:06:59,296
Problem solved.
191
00:06:59,396 --> 00:07:00,397
All right, finally,
192
00:07:00,497 --> 00:07:01,765
let's talk about
a major new development
193
00:07:01,865 --> 00:07:03,667
in criminal justice reform.
194
00:07:03,767 --> 00:07:06,336
News anchor, drop a beat.
195
00:07:06,436 --> 00:07:08,872
NEWSWOMAN: Jay-Z and Meek Mill
teaming up to support
196
00:07:08,972 --> 00:07:11,741
a proposed New York state law
that would block lyrics
197
00:07:11,841 --> 00:07:13,643
from being used during trials.
198
00:07:13,743 --> 00:07:16,446
NEWSMAN: Both Jay-Z and Meek
Mill signed a letter saying...
199
00:07:32,862 --> 00:07:34,464
NEWSWOMAN: The rappers
are joined by other artists,
200
00:07:34,564 --> 00:07:36,199
including Fat Joe, Big Sean,
201
00:07:36,299 --> 00:07:37,667
Kelly Rowland and Robin Thicke,
202
00:07:37,767 --> 00:07:41,538
in imploring lawmakers to sign
the Rap Music on Trial bill
203
00:07:41,638 --> 00:07:43,340
and turn it into law.
204
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,642
Yeah, that's right.
When someone gets arrested,
205
00:07:45,742 --> 00:07:48,979
prosecutors dig up any rap
lyrics they might have written
206
00:07:49,112 --> 00:07:51,982
and then they present them
like it's a confession.
207
00:07:52,115 --> 00:07:54,184
Which is ridiculous, people.
208
00:07:54,284 --> 00:07:56,119
Rap is an art form.
209
00:07:56,219 --> 00:07:57,721
Right? These songs
are performances.
210
00:07:57,821 --> 00:08:00,523
The rappers aren't
just reading out their journals.
211
00:08:00,624 --> 00:08:02,092
Just because you rap
about killing someone
212
00:08:02,192 --> 00:08:03,393
doesn't mean you did it.
213
00:08:03,493 --> 00:08:06,663
It's just that a lot of words
rhyme with "kill."
214
00:08:06,763 --> 00:08:08,465
"Chill," "hill,"
215
00:08:08,565 --> 00:08:09,799
"windowsill,"
216
00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:11,735
"Uncle Phil."
217
00:08:11,835 --> 00:08:13,603
All of the words you need
in a rap song.
218
00:08:13,703 --> 00:08:15,171
And you don't want worries
about legal trouble
219
00:08:15,272 --> 00:08:16,773
to interfere
with musical freedom,
220
00:08:16,873 --> 00:08:18,875
especially not rap music.
221
00:08:18,975 --> 00:08:20,577
Because throwing in the word
"allegedly"
222
00:08:20,677 --> 00:08:23,947
after every rap lyric
really screws with the flow.
223
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,383
♪ I bomb atomically,
allegedly. ♪
224
00:08:27,817 --> 00:08:29,753
"People are saying
I bomb atomically."
225
00:08:29,853 --> 00:08:31,655
And if we're being honest,
it's not a coincidence
226
00:08:31,755 --> 00:08:33,790
that they only do this
with rap music.
227
00:08:33,890 --> 00:08:35,792
Because this is just another way
of targeting Black people.
228
00:08:35,892 --> 00:08:37,794
I mean,
half of country music songs
229
00:08:37,894 --> 00:08:40,931
are about the singer
burning their ex's car
230
00:08:41,097 --> 00:08:42,265
because they cheated.
231
00:08:42,365 --> 00:08:45,268
But I've never seen any of them
prosecuted for it.
232
00:08:45,368 --> 00:08:47,637
So I hope this law gets passed.
233
00:08:47,737 --> 00:08:49,673
I mean, the only downside is
that criminals are gonna use it
234
00:08:49,773 --> 00:08:51,708
as a loophole to hide evidence.
235
00:08:51,808 --> 00:08:53,777
Every Wall Street board meeting
is now gonna have
236
00:08:53,877 --> 00:08:55,111
an emcee in the corner.
237
00:08:55,178 --> 00:08:56,279
"All my homies in the back,
238
00:08:56,379 --> 00:08:58,348
"move your accounts
to the Cayman Islands!
239
00:08:58,448 --> 00:09:00,417
(mimics air horn)
240
00:09:00,517 --> 00:09:01,651
"They can't use that, right?
241
00:09:01,751 --> 00:09:03,253
Yeah, we got them,
Goldman Sachs."
242
00:09:03,353 --> 00:09:05,255
By the way, when I first heard
that they wanted
243
00:09:05,355 --> 00:09:07,891
to stop prosecutors
from using rap lyrics in trials,
244
00:09:08,058 --> 00:09:09,693
I thought that they meant
245
00:09:09,793 --> 00:09:12,429
the prosecutors were
the ones rapping.
246
00:09:12,529 --> 00:09:14,197
Grammar's a really
interesting thing
247
00:09:14,297 --> 00:09:15,632
that shapes how you see things.
248
00:09:15,732 --> 00:09:16,967
'cause I thought, like,
249
00:09:17,067 --> 00:09:18,468
the prosecutors were actually
in court like,
250
00:09:18,568 --> 00:09:20,870
"Hi. My name is.
What? My name is...
251
00:09:20,971 --> 00:09:23,139
District Attorney
Theodore Wozniak."
252
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,708
But all right, enough of that.
253
00:09:24,808 --> 00:09:28,378
Let's move on to our top story
which is about Boris Johnson,
254
00:09:28,478 --> 00:09:30,247
Prime minister
of the United Kingdom
255
00:09:30,347 --> 00:09:33,316
and the only kid to make it out
of the Village of the Damned.
256
00:09:33,416 --> 00:09:35,852
Right now, he's embroiled
in a huge scandal
257
00:09:35,952 --> 00:09:37,821
over secret COVID parties.
258
00:09:37,921 --> 00:09:40,190
So let's catch up
on all the latest
259
00:09:40,290 --> 00:09:43,627
in our ongoing segment,
"Keep Calm and Party On."
260
00:09:43,727 --> 00:09:45,629
♪ ♪
261
00:09:48,999 --> 00:09:52,302
You may remember the outrage
across Britain
262
00:09:52,402 --> 00:09:54,404
a couple of months ago
when Boris Johnson was accused
263
00:09:54,504 --> 00:09:58,909
of throwing a secret party
in the middle of lockdown.
264
00:09:59,009 --> 00:10:00,944
Against his own COVID rules,
by the way.
265
00:10:01,044 --> 00:10:05,015
But the truth is, there wasn't
a secret COVID party.
266
00:10:05,115 --> 00:10:08,418
Turns out, there were many
secret COVID parties,
267
00:10:08,518 --> 00:10:13,657
and now Boris may have partied
himself right out of a job.
268
00:10:13,757 --> 00:10:15,926
SHEPARD SMITH: And the walls
seem to be closing in
269
00:10:16,026 --> 00:10:17,594
on Boris Johnson.
270
00:10:17,694 --> 00:10:20,130
NEWSWOMAN: A new poll, in fact,
for "The Observer" newspaper,
271
00:10:20,230 --> 00:10:22,699
shows 63%,
272
00:10:22,799 --> 00:10:27,103
nearly two of every three
Britains, want Johnson out.
273
00:10:27,203 --> 00:10:29,239
SMITH: As many as 20
conservative members
274
00:10:29,339 --> 00:10:32,709
of Parliament say they plan to
submit letters of no confidence.
275
00:10:32,809 --> 00:10:34,177
54 letters are required
276
00:10:34,277 --> 00:10:37,180
to trigger a no-confidence
vote in Parliament.
277
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,716
Prime Minister Johnson
has faced calls to resign
278
00:10:39,816 --> 00:10:43,119
after reports that
10 Downing Street hosted parties
279
00:10:43,220 --> 00:10:44,754
over the past two years.
280
00:10:44,854 --> 00:10:46,089
The events were held
281
00:10:46,189 --> 00:10:48,992
when the United Kingdom
government imposed strict
282
00:10:49,092 --> 00:10:51,161
COVID restrictions on gathering.
283
00:10:51,261 --> 00:10:54,631
I recognize the enormous
sacrifice that people have made.
284
00:10:54,731 --> 00:10:57,434
I apologize for misjudgments
that may have been made
285
00:10:57,534 --> 00:10:59,803
in Number Ten by me
and anybody else.
286
00:10:59,903 --> 00:11:03,573
But please can I ask him to wait
for the inquiry to conclude?
287
00:11:03,673 --> 00:11:05,809
NEWSMAN 2: One misjudgment
that really hurts--
288
00:11:05,909 --> 00:11:08,378
the apology
to Her Majesty the Queen
289
00:11:08,478 --> 00:11:11,014
over parties allegedly held
in Downing Street
290
00:11:11,114 --> 00:11:14,317
the night
before Her Majesty sat alone
291
00:11:14,417 --> 00:11:15,952
at the funeral of her husband.
292
00:11:16,119 --> 00:11:19,122
You know, this sucks
for Queen Elizabeth.
293
00:11:19,222 --> 00:11:21,391
I haven't seen her
that disappointed
294
00:11:21,491 --> 00:11:24,561
since she found out what Prince
Andrew did on his vacations.
295
00:11:24,661 --> 00:11:29,633
"Apparently, these are not
the only photos, Andrew."
296
00:11:29,733 --> 00:11:32,168
And I can hardly blame her,
you know.
297
00:11:32,269 --> 00:11:34,537
I mean,
her husband had just died,
298
00:11:34,638 --> 00:11:38,141
and here they were,
throwing parties
299
00:11:38,208 --> 00:11:40,176
without her.
300
00:11:40,277 --> 00:11:42,812
I mean, come on. This is
her first chance in 70 years
301
00:11:42,913 --> 00:11:45,148
to catch some fresh dick,
and no invite?
302
00:11:45,248 --> 00:11:47,951
Yo, that shit is messed up.
303
00:11:48,051 --> 00:11:49,953
Oh, you don't think
people move on?
304
00:11:50,053 --> 00:11:52,856
You need to grow up.
305
00:11:52,956 --> 00:11:54,457
But you can see why
so many people have turned
306
00:11:54,558 --> 00:11:55,792
on Boris over his scandal.
307
00:11:55,892 --> 00:11:57,727
Because
while he was having parties,
308
00:11:57,827 --> 00:12:00,130
the people of Britain were
dealing with severe lockdowns.
309
00:12:00,230 --> 00:12:01,665
And I'm not talking
about American lockdowns.
310
00:12:01,765 --> 00:12:03,667
I'm talking
about real lockdowns.
311
00:12:03,767 --> 00:12:05,168
Like, there were curfews.
312
00:12:05,268 --> 00:12:07,804
The government limited
how many people you could see.
313
00:12:07,904 --> 00:12:10,974
People weren't even allowed to
have anyone over for Christmas.
314
00:12:11,107 --> 00:12:13,109
Yeah, if Santa came down
your chimney,
315
00:12:13,209 --> 00:12:14,945
you'd have to shoot him dead.
316
00:12:15,111 --> 00:12:16,246
But they don't have guns
in the U.K.,
317
00:12:16,346 --> 00:12:18,481
so you just have
to beat him to death.
318
00:12:18,582 --> 00:12:21,117
And look, I know Boris isn't
the only political leader
319
00:12:21,218 --> 00:12:23,153
who's been caught partying
against his own rules,
320
00:12:23,253 --> 00:12:26,423
but he might be the only one
trying to pretend
321
00:12:26,523 --> 00:12:29,659
that he doesn't know
what a party is.
322
00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:32,028
Prime Minister Johnson maintains
he believed it
323
00:12:32,128 --> 00:12:34,331
to be an official work event,
not a party.
324
00:12:34,431 --> 00:12:37,567

"bring their own booze."

that is just ludicrous,
isn't it?
334
00:12:55,952 --> 00:12:58,622
You are just taking the mickey
out of the British people.

-No. Well, I-I...
336

(stammering) I, uh,
nobody told me,

and nobody-nobody said
that, uh,
338
00:13:04,728 --> 00:13:07,364
this was something that
was against the rules.
339
00:13:07,464 --> 00:13:09,900
It was a breach of the,
of the COVID rules,
340
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,936
or we were doing something
that wasn't, uh, a work event.
341
00:13:13,103 --> 00:13:14,671
Yeah, n-nobody told me.
342
00:13:14,771 --> 00:13:16,706
I-I didn't know it was a party.
343
00:13:16,806 --> 00:13:18,875
How do you know what a party is
unless somebody says,
344
00:13:18,975 --> 00:13:20,110
"It's a party"?
345
00:13:20,176 --> 00:13:23,380
How could you not know that
that was a party?
346
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:24,714
I mean, it's not a work event.
347
00:13:24,814 --> 00:13:26,416
They said,
"Bring your own booze."
348
00:13:26,516 --> 00:13:28,885
That never happens
for a regular work meeting.
349
00:13:28,985 --> 00:13:30,420
No one's ever like,
350
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,123
"We really need to figure out
our fourth quarter projections,
351
00:13:33,223 --> 00:13:36,626
so grab some tequila, because
daddy's making margaritas."
352
00:13:36,726 --> 00:13:38,328
And also, am I the only
person who finds it weird
353
00:13:38,428 --> 00:13:40,697
that the leader of the
government is the one saying,
354
00:13:40,797 --> 00:13:42,766
"Nobody told me that
this was against the rules.
355
00:13:42,866 --> 00:13:46,403
Nobody told me." Nobody
told you? They're your rules!
356
00:13:46,503 --> 00:13:48,371
Your rules to deal with
a global pandemic.
357
00:13:48,471 --> 00:13:50,006
This isn't your kids' birthdays.
358
00:13:50,140 --> 00:13:52,175
You got to remember this shit.
359
00:13:52,275 --> 00:13:55,212
Now, Boris' own former
top aide says that he did
360
00:13:55,312 --> 00:13:57,347
warn Boris that the
party broke COVID rules.
361
00:13:57,447 --> 00:13:59,349
And that Boris has been lying
under oath
362
00:13:59,449 --> 00:14:01,184
to Parliament about it.
363
00:14:02,485 --> 00:14:04,588
But maybe these parties
are just emblematic
364
00:14:04,688 --> 00:14:07,924
of how Boris thinks COVID
rules didn't apply to him.
365
00:14:08,091 --> 00:14:10,594
Like, apparently, back
when Boris had COVID,
366
00:14:10,694 --> 00:14:13,563
he refused to stay in
isolation, and it got so bad
367
00:14:13,663 --> 00:14:15,799
that his staff--
and this is completely true--
368
00:14:15,899 --> 00:14:19,402
had to put chairs
in the doorway to his office
369
00:14:19,502 --> 00:14:21,137
to block him from leaving.
370
00:14:21,238 --> 00:14:23,240
Yeah.
371
00:14:23,340 --> 00:14:26,576
Honestly, I was shocked
when I read this.
372
00:14:26,676 --> 00:14:28,445
Mostly because I didn't
know it was that easy to
373
00:14:28,545 --> 00:14:30,780
stop British people
from going places.
374
00:14:30,881 --> 00:14:32,782
Turns out, if Africa
just put a couple of chairs
375
00:14:32,883 --> 00:14:37,520
in front of England, we could
have stopped colonialism.
376
00:14:37,621 --> 00:14:40,257
So, as of now, Boris
is in big trouble,
377
00:14:40,357 --> 00:14:43,827
or, as they say in
England, trouble.
378
00:14:43,927 --> 00:14:45,195
And really,
if you're a prime minister
379
00:14:45,295 --> 00:14:46,596
who's been breaking
the lockdown rules
380
00:14:46,696 --> 00:14:48,131
that you imposed
on everybody else,
381
00:14:48,231 --> 00:14:51,234
you have to resign.
382
00:14:51,334 --> 00:14:52,869
Or...
383
00:14:52,969 --> 00:14:54,671
you can do this:
384
00:14:54,771 --> 00:14:56,306
NEWSMAN: New this morning,
the British Prime Minister,
385
00:14:56,406 --> 00:14:59,509
Boris Johnson,
has announced the end of all
386
00:14:59,609 --> 00:15:01,545
pandemic restrictions
in the United Kingdom, saying
387
00:15:01,645 --> 00:15:03,713
the people will no longer
be asked to work from home,
388
00:15:03,813 --> 00:15:06,216
masks no longer
required in schools,
389
00:15:06,316 --> 00:15:08,919
the mandate to wear masks
in public removed as well.
390
00:15:09,085 --> 00:15:10,086
NEWSWOMAN:
According to The Guardian,
391
00:15:10,186 --> 00:15:13,890
the swift change is seen
as an attempt by Johnson
392
00:15:13,990 --> 00:15:15,859
to quell conservative anger
393
00:15:15,959 --> 00:15:19,930
over his lockdown-breaching
parties at Downing Street.
394
00:15:20,096 --> 00:15:22,432
Having looked at the data
carefully,
395
00:15:22,532 --> 00:15:24,901
the cabinet concluded
396
00:15:25,001 --> 00:15:27,637
that once regulations lapse,
397
00:15:27,737 --> 00:15:30,707
the government
will no longer mandate
398
00:15:30,807 --> 00:15:34,144
-the wearing of face masks
anywhere. -(cheering)
399
00:15:34,244 --> 00:15:36,880
Oh, shit!
400
00:15:36,980 --> 00:15:40,750
Boris went from B-Y-O-B
to D-G-A-F.
401
00:15:40,850 --> 00:15:43,253
You can't break the rules
if there are no rules!
402
00:15:43,353 --> 00:15:45,455
"That's right,
everybody, no masks.
403
00:15:45,555 --> 00:15:47,023
"Everybody, no restrictions.
404
00:15:47,123 --> 00:15:48,959
And no more haircuts, bitches."
405
00:15:49,125 --> 00:15:50,360
And yet you could you argue that
406
00:15:50,460 --> 00:15:51,995
suddenly lifting restrictions
is just a cheap
407
00:15:52,128 --> 00:15:53,830
and dangerous attempt
to curry public favor
408
00:15:53,930 --> 00:15:56,700
at the cost of
spreading a lethal virus.
409
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,235
But on the other hand,
410
00:15:58,335 --> 00:16:01,471
restrictions are lifted, baby,
411
00:16:01,571 --> 00:16:03,173
so break out the liquor, Britan.
412
00:16:03,273 --> 00:16:05,075
It's time for a work event.
413
00:16:05,141 --> 00:16:06,376
(slurps)
414
00:16:06,476 --> 00:16:07,878
All right, when we come back,
415
00:16:07,978 --> 00:16:11,214
Jordan Klepper has a very polite
conversation with Matt Gaetz
416
00:16:11,314 --> 00:16:13,650
and it goes very well
for everybody.
417
00:16:13,750 --> 00:16:15,485
You don't want to miss it.
418
00:16:16,886 --> 00:16:17,920
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
419
00:16:18,020 --> 00:16:19,255
It has now been a year
420
00:16:19,355 --> 00:16:21,090
since
a patriotic group of heroes
421
00:16:21,190 --> 00:16:23,359
stormed the Capitol
to save democracy
422
00:16:23,459 --> 00:16:25,261
by hanging Mike Pence.
423
00:16:25,361 --> 00:16:27,763
So, to give the day
the honor it deserves,
424
00:16:27,863 --> 00:16:30,199
we sent Jordan Klepper down
to the Capitol
425
00:16:30,299 --> 00:16:32,268
for a January 6th edition
426
00:16:32,368 --> 00:16:35,771
of Jordan Klepper

KLEPPER:
It's been just over a year
429
00:16:43,145 --> 00:16:44,847
since the attack
on the U.S. Capitol,
430
00:16:44,947 --> 00:16:48,417
so last week,
I went back to Washington D.C.
431
00:16:48,517 --> 00:16:51,120
But now I'm ready for anything.
432
00:16:51,220 --> 00:16:52,455
This time I'm prepared.
433
00:16:52,555 --> 00:16:55,658
Contact number
in case I get thrown in jail.
434

Money belt in case
I need to bribe an Oath Keeper
435
00:16:58,461 --> 00:17:00,162
when they take over the city.
436
00:17:00,262 --> 00:17:03,232
If that doesn't go down,
uh, I got Potbelly's money
437
00:17:03,332 --> 00:17:04,767
when I leave
out of Union Station.
438
00:17:04,867 --> 00:17:06,569
But unlike last year,
439
00:17:06,669 --> 00:17:08,838
today there was a peace,
a quiet,
440
00:17:08,938 --> 00:17:10,840
a calm that almost suggested
441
00:17:10,940 --> 00:17:13,008
perhaps our country
is truly healing
442
00:17:13,109 --> 00:17:14,477
from the events of that day.
443
00:17:14,577 --> 00:17:17,279
And then we found this guy
444
00:17:17,379 --> 00:17:20,850
screaming at CNN's John King
broadcasting from a balcony.
445
00:17:20,983 --> 00:17:22,318
(bleep) you (bleep), yo!
446
00:17:22,418 --> 00:17:24,587
Y'all (bleep)
fake news bullshit, yo!
447
00:17:24,687 --> 00:17:26,856
Bunch of garbage, John King!
448
00:17:26,989 --> 00:17:28,991
I was trying to get across
to people in the world, man.
449
00:17:29,091 --> 00:17:30,993
I watch CNN.
I watch Fox News every day.
450
00:17:31,026 --> 00:17:32,428
Chris Tucker, Hannity.
451
00:17:32,528 --> 00:17:34,063
-You watch Chris Tucker?
I love that guy. -Yeah.
452
00:17:34,163 --> 00:17:36,265
-I watch all of you guys, you
know? It's like... -Money Talks.
453
00:17:36,365 --> 00:17:37,733
-Yeah.
-Rush Hour.
454
00:17:37,833 --> 00:17:39,001
I wear that shirt,
says "Eff Biden."
455
00:17:39,068 --> 00:17:40,336
I say (bleep) Joe Biden.
456
00:17:40,436 --> 00:17:42,104
I respect our president.
457
00:17:42,204 --> 00:17:45,074
It's important to have respect
for the office of the president.
458
00:17:45,174 --> 00:17:47,209
-Exactly. Exactly.
-And at the same time
459
00:17:47,309 --> 00:17:49,779
wear a shirt
that says "(bleep) Biden."
460
00:17:49,879 --> 00:17:51,313
I mean, for me, yes.
461
00:17:51,413 --> 00:17:54,250
Do you understand the inherent
contradiction in that?
462
00:17:54,350 --> 00:17:56,919
Yes, I do. I do. I do.
I do. I definitely do.
463
00:17:57,019 --> 00:17:58,754
When we drove by,
I saw you screaming
464
00:17:58,854 --> 00:18:01,824
up at the second floor there
at John King from CNN
465
00:18:01,924 --> 00:18:03,626
-saying go (bleep) himself.
-Right.
466
00:18:03,726 --> 00:18:06,095
I see what you're saying.
Now, I mean, what I did there,
467
00:18:06,195 --> 00:18:07,630
that was not...
468
00:18:07,730 --> 00:18:10,699
That was me, my personal opinion
towards John King
469
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,668
and the me...
a-and fake news CNN.
470
00:18:12,768 --> 00:18:15,604
Yeah. So, the fake news CNN
should go (bleep) itself.
471
00:18:15,704 --> 00:18:18,307
-Yeah. Respectfully, yes. Yes.
-Respectfully. Okay, right.
472
00:18:18,407 --> 00:18:20,443
-Mm-hmm. -Now, do I want my kids
to see me saying that?
473
00:18:20,543 --> 00:18:21,844
No, of course not.
474
00:18:21,977 --> 00:18:24,547
But, I mean,
we all have our days.
475
00:18:24,647 --> 00:18:25,881
You-you did have your k...
476
00:18:25,981 --> 00:18:27,883
I-I saw your kid in the car.
477
00:18:27,983 --> 00:18:29,585
Correct. I have all four
of my kids in the car.
478
00:18:29,685 --> 00:18:31,420
-Oh. So they... -But they
don't... They don't understand.
479
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,988
-They're not of age
to understand. -Okay.
480
00:18:33,089 --> 00:18:34,623
-Yeah.
-Okay. So, they did see.
481
00:18:34,723 --> 00:18:36,992
-They just don't understand.
-Correct, yeah.
482
00:18:37,059 --> 00:18:38,794
KLEPPER: Unfortunately,
our nation's leaders
483
00:18:38,894 --> 00:18:42,698
were respectfully divided
on how to best remember the day.
484
00:18:42,798 --> 00:18:44,834
On the one hand,
you had the Democrats
485
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,037
condemning the attacks
as only they know how.
486
00:18:48,137 --> 00:18:50,172
We're privileged
to have a contribution
487
00:18:50,272 --> 00:18:53,142
from one of the great
creative talents of our time,
488
00:18:53,242 --> 00:18:55,811
Lin-Manuel... Miranda.
489
00:18:55,911 --> 00:18:58,080
KLEPPER: And on the other hand,
there were people
490
00:18:58,180 --> 00:19:01,383
like Representative Matt Gaetz
and Marjorie Taylor Greene
491
00:19:01,484 --> 00:19:03,853
who were unapologetic
about what happened.
492
00:19:04,019 --> 00:19:06,255
They were even planning an event
of their own.
493
00:19:06,355 --> 00:19:08,390
We're proud of the work
that we did on January 6
494
00:19:08,491 --> 00:19:09,725
-to make legitimate arguments...
-That's right.
495
00:19:09,825 --> 00:19:11,160
...about election integrity.
496
00:19:11,260 --> 00:19:13,129
So we're gonna make
those arguments today
497
00:19:13,229 --> 00:19:15,030
-in a press conference at 2:15.
-Absolutely.
498
00:19:15,064 --> 00:19:17,032
And we're actually gonna go walk
the grounds
499
00:19:17,133 --> 00:19:19,335
that-that patriotic Americans
walked,
500
00:19:19,435 --> 00:19:20,836
from the White House
to the Capitol.
501
00:19:20,970 --> 00:19:23,973
KLEPPER: Ah, a solemn walk
in front of the media
502
00:19:24,006 --> 00:19:26,509
to reenact the events
of January 6.
503
00:19:26,609 --> 00:19:28,711
Plenty of time for me
to ask some questions
504
00:19:28,811 --> 00:19:30,846
as they
patriotically sauntered down--
505
00:19:30,980 --> 00:19:33,015
Oh, shit. They're just getting
into their cars.
506
00:19:39,321 --> 00:19:40,990
Please get out of the way.
507
00:19:47,129 --> 00:19:48,464
Oh, well.
508
00:19:48,564 --> 00:19:52,101
I'll catch him at one of
the other sedition reenactments.
509
00:19:52,201 --> 00:19:55,438
Of course, there were some who
witnessed the events firsthand
510
00:19:55,538 --> 00:19:58,240
who have a different attitude
towards the rioters.
511
00:19:58,340 --> 00:20:00,376
When it comes to
insurrectionists, (bleep) 'em.
512
00:20:00,476 --> 00:20:01,610
I don't give a (bleep).
513
00:20:01,710 --> 00:20:03,679
-Can I quote you on that?
-Yeah.
514
00:20:03,779 --> 00:20:06,015
KLEPPER: Representative
Ruben Gallego was inside
515
00:20:06,081 --> 00:20:07,917
with fellow congressmen
of both parties,
516
00:20:08,017 --> 00:20:10,052
just yards away
from the violence.
517
00:20:10,152 --> 00:20:11,520
Look, I was scared
for the country.
518
00:20:11,620 --> 00:20:13,189
I was scared for my colleagues.
519
00:20:13,289 --> 00:20:14,723
Um, I was pissed off.
520
00:20:14,824 --> 00:20:16,959
The thing I remember the most
is seeing the-the fear
521
00:20:16,992 --> 00:20:19,095
in the eyes
of some very young staffers.
522
00:20:19,195 --> 00:20:20,596
I was here that day.
523
00:20:20,696 --> 00:20:22,798
It was... chaotic.
524
00:20:22,965 --> 00:20:24,967
I got called an asshole
just over there.
525
00:20:25,067 --> 00:20:26,368
Was it by a member of Congress
or...
526
00:20:26,469 --> 00:20:28,003
-The guy had a pitchfork.
Do you... -(laughs)
527
00:20:28,104 --> 00:20:29,605
Do you know the pitchfork guy?
528
00:20:29,705 --> 00:20:31,173
Is he a member of Congress
or is he a...
529
00:20:31,273 --> 00:20:33,642
Uh, he might be. Uh, probably
from the Freedom Caucus.
530
00:20:33,742 --> 00:20:35,077
Yeah, the guy was talking
with a pitchfork.
531
00:20:35,177 --> 00:20:36,178
If he's not in Congress,
532
00:20:36,278 --> 00:20:37,880
he's definitely running
in the midterms.
533
00:20:37,980 --> 00:20:39,115
Probably is a frontrunner, yeah.
534
00:20:39,215 --> 00:20:41,150
KLEPPER: Later,
outside the halls of power,
535
00:20:41,250 --> 00:20:42,985
Democrats gathered for a vigil,
536
00:20:43,052 --> 00:20:45,254
hoping the country
would never have to go through
537
00:20:45,354 --> 00:20:47,123
a horrible day like that again.
538
00:20:47,223 --> 00:20:48,357
But, down the road,
539
00:20:48,457 --> 00:20:50,092
there was another vigil...
540
00:20:50,192 --> 00:20:51,594
We're outside a jail right now,
541
00:20:51,694 --> 00:20:52,995
going to vigil number two.
542
00:20:53,062 --> 00:20:55,297
...where they chose
to look on the bright side
543
00:20:55,397 --> 00:20:56,999
of the potential treason.
544
00:20:57,066 --> 00:20:59,135
What would you call
the events of January 6?
545
00:20:59,235 --> 00:21:01,137
A wonderful, glorious event.
546
00:21:01,237 --> 00:21:02,805
People were excited that day.
547
00:21:02,905 --> 00:21:06,275
January 6 was the greatest day
of my entire life.
548
00:21:06,375 --> 00:21:09,578
-Okay. You're obviously not
a police officer. -And...
549
00:21:09,678 --> 00:21:11,580
There was no insurrection
that day.
550
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,917
If there was any intention
on our part,
551
00:21:15,017 --> 00:21:17,186
we would have been
actually freaking armed.
552
00:21:17,286 --> 00:21:19,054
If there was intention,
people would come with, uh...
553
00:21:19,155 --> 00:21:20,456
-We would have been.
-With zip ties
554
00:21:20,556 --> 00:21:22,258
or bear spray or a pitchfork.
555
00:21:22,358 --> 00:21:23,659
Belt-feds. (laughs)
556
00:21:23,759 --> 00:21:25,561
What about the people
who did come with zip ties,
557
00:21:25,661 --> 00:21:27,797
bear spray and pitchforks?
558
00:21:27,963 --> 00:21:29,265
Well, those aren't arms.
559
00:21:29,365 --> 00:21:31,434
Those were just minimal
defensive measures.
560
00:21:31,534 --> 00:21:34,069
Who is
the-the candlelight vigil for?
561
00:21:34,170 --> 00:21:36,172
The... all the...
all of the patriots.
562
00:21:36,272 --> 00:21:39,141
All of the 140 patriots,
the, uh...
563
00:21:39,241 --> 00:21:40,609
-the police officers who were
injured that day. -Yeah.
564
00:21:40,709 --> 00:21:42,711
-Yeah. -So it's for
the police officers who were...?
565
00:21:42,812 --> 00:21:44,280
No, it's... (stammers)
566
00:21:44,380 --> 00:21:46,982
Well, this is for the-the
patriots that are in prison.
567
00:21:47,016 --> 00:21:50,352
The people arrested for injuring
the police officers that day?
568
00:21:50,453 --> 00:21:51,987
It was some people standing up
569
00:21:52,088 --> 00:21:53,522
to say, you know,
"Stop the steal."
570
00:21:53,622 --> 00:21:55,257
We're here, uh, at the site
571
00:21:55,357 --> 00:21:58,360
of where the January 6th
protestors are being detained.
572
00:21:58,461 --> 00:21:59,628
This is a vigil for them.
573
00:21:59,728 --> 00:22:01,430
Their rights
have been taken away.
574
00:22:01,530 --> 00:22:04,133
So criminal justice is
obviously a big issue for you.
575
00:22:04,233 --> 00:22:08,070
I'm interested in protecting
everyone's rights.
576
00:22:08,170 --> 00:22:09,505
Are you going to Rikers island
577
00:22:09,605 --> 00:22:12,007
to protest the 15 people
who died last year?
578
00:22:12,041 --> 00:22:13,809
Uh, I-I am not.
579
00:22:14,777 --> 00:22:16,745
KLEPPER: Even a year later,
selected victimization
580
00:22:16,846 --> 00:22:19,181
was still trending hot.
581
00:22:19,281 --> 00:22:20,850
At the end of the day,
582
00:22:20,950 --> 00:22:23,352
it might have felt
that nothing has really changed,
583
00:22:23,452 --> 00:22:25,721
that we were locked
in an endless loop,
584
00:22:25,821 --> 00:22:28,657
talking about the same things
with the same people.
585
00:22:28,758 --> 00:22:31,093
I felt like that.
586
00:22:31,193 --> 00:22:33,295
Apparently, for a good reason.
587
00:22:33,395 --> 00:22:35,431
I saw you in Hershey.
That's right. How've you been?
588
00:22:35,531 --> 00:22:38,000
Well, hanging in there.
How have you been?
589
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:40,870
I've-I've, uh, witnessed, uh,
a near downfall of democracy.
590
00:22:40,970 --> 00:22:43,305
It's been... it's been a busy...
it's been a busy year or two.
591
00:22:43,405 --> 00:22:44,974
-(laughing)
-Yeah, yeah.
592
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,675
-It has.
-It's been a little hectic.
593
00:22:46,776 --> 00:22:49,545
KLEPPER:
A hectic year indeed.
594
00:22:51,747 --> 00:22:53,048
Thank you so much
for that, Jordan.
595
00:22:53,149 --> 00:22:55,184
And if you want to see even more
from Jordan's trip,

available only on the Web.
598
00:22:59,822 --> 00:23:02,124
All right, when we come back,
I'll be talking to the star
599
00:23:02,224 --> 00:23:04,894
of the critically-acclaimed
remake of West Side Story,
600
00:23:04,994 --> 00:23:07,763
Ariana DeBose, so don't go away.
601
00:23:09,537 --> 00:23:10,604
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
602
00:23:10,704 --> 00:23:12,073
My guest tonight
is award-winning actor,
603
00:23:12,173 --> 00:23:14,442
singer and dancer Ariana DeBose.
604
00:23:14,542 --> 00:23:16,944
She's here to talk
about starring as Anita
605
00:23:17,044 --> 00:23:18,913
in West Side Story.
606
00:23:19,013 --> 00:23:20,915
-("America" playing)

607
00:23:21,015 --> 00:23:22,583
♪ ♪
608
00:23:40,101 --> 00:23:41,535
Hey! Hey! Hey!
609
00:23:41,635 --> 00:23:43,437
-Ariana DeBose, welcome to
The Daily Show. -Oh, thank you.
610
00:23:43,537 --> 00:23:44,739
-(laughs)
-Thank you so much. (laughing)
611
00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:46,273
I don't think
I was supposed to put my hands
612
00:23:46,373 --> 00:23:47,541
-on the table yet.
-No, no, we're talking.
613
00:23:47,641 --> 00:23:49,009
We're talking.
What are you talking about?
614
00:23:49,110 --> 00:23:50,978
Um, yeah, welcome. It's
really good to have you here,
615
00:23:51,078 --> 00:23:52,580
especially now.
616
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,782
Like, you know, some people,
617
00:23:54,882 --> 00:23:56,917
if they're Broadway aficionados,
have seen you.
618
00:23:57,017 --> 00:23:58,652
You know, you've-you've been...
619
00:23:58,753 --> 00:24:00,454
Just I think
you've been grinding
620
00:24:00,554 --> 00:24:03,791
-at this thing in Broadway
ten years. Right? -Yeah. Yeah.
621
00:24:03,891 --> 00:24:05,860
Where you've done everything.
622
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,261
Every different type
of production.
623
00:24:07,361 --> 00:24:10,397
You're a consummate performer,
singer, dancer, actress,
624
00:24:10,498 --> 00:24:11,966
everything all in one.
625
00:24:12,066 --> 00:24:14,101
But it feels
like this is your moment.
626
00:24:14,201 --> 00:24:17,071
Like, it-it... You know
where the "overnight success"
627
00:24:17,171 --> 00:24:19,373
-comes together after ten years?
-(laughs)
628
00:24:19,473 --> 00:24:21,242
-Yes. -It feels
like that's that moment.
629
00:24:21,342 --> 00:24:22,676
Does it feel the same way
for you?
630
00:24:23,711 --> 00:24:26,447
Ye... Uh,
I hesitate to say it, but yes.
631
00:24:26,547 --> 00:24:29,083
-Um...
-Why do you hesitate?
632
00:24:29,183 --> 00:24:32,386
'Cause I'm really enjoying it.
Like, I'm having fun.
633
00:24:32,486 --> 00:24:33,821
I don't want it...
want it to go away.
634
00:24:33,921 --> 00:24:35,022
You know, moments,
they're moments.
635
00:24:35,122 --> 00:24:36,657
They're, like,
they're-they're fleeting.
636
00:24:36,757 --> 00:24:38,826
-Ephemeral. Fleeting.
-No. No, no, no, not at all.
637
00:24:38,926 --> 00:24:40,060
-But, like...
-Like, COVID is a moment,
638
00:24:40,161 --> 00:24:41,562
-and look how long
it's going for. -(laughs)
639
00:24:41,662 --> 00:24:43,297
You know what, you're not wrong.
640
00:24:43,397 --> 00:24:45,566
-Yes.
-So, um, I'm just...
641
00:24:45,666 --> 00:24:48,903
Um, whatever it is,
however anyone interprets it,
642
00:24:49,003 --> 00:24:52,239
I'm just enjoying
whatever this is while it lasts,
643
00:24:52,339 --> 00:24:54,975
and it...
'Cause it's been really fun.
644
00:24:55,076 --> 00:24:56,811
I mean, it's not every day
you get it to make a movie
645
00:24:56,911 --> 00:25:00,147
with Steven Spielberg
and what you're asked to execute
646
00:25:00,247 --> 00:25:02,316
-is actually something
that you do. -Right.
647
00:25:02,416 --> 00:25:04,518
(laughs)
I was like, "Oh.
648
00:25:04,685 --> 00:25:06,687
"I have to do
other kinds of homework,
649
00:25:06,754 --> 00:25:08,355
"but the bones
of what this job is,
650
00:25:08,456 --> 00:25:10,524
-I got that. This is great."
-I love that.
651
00:25:10,624 --> 00:25:12,426
-I love that. And, I mean, it...
-Yeah.
652
00:25:12,526 --> 00:25:14,962
You know, it's-it's also unique
to be in a position
653
00:25:15,062 --> 00:25:16,864
where you're having fun,
654
00:25:16,964 --> 00:25:19,633
the audience is having fun
watching you have fun
655
00:25:19,700 --> 00:25:21,535
and then the critics
are having fun as well.
656
00:25:21,635 --> 00:25:23,504
Like, that's
the perfect combination
657
00:25:23,637 --> 00:25:25,306
-of what you'd like in art,
you know? -Mm-hmm.
658
00:25:25,406 --> 00:25:28,275
'Cause-'cause, uh, Screen Actors
Guild nomination, right?
659
00:25:28,375 --> 00:25:31,011
-Yeah.
-Eh, uh, Golden Globe winner.
660
00:25:31,112 --> 00:25:33,013
-Congratulations. Right?
-Thank you. Thank you very much.
661
00:25:33,114 --> 00:25:36,250
Um, like, it-it just feels like
you-you're in this world, uh--
662
00:25:36,350 --> 00:25:38,419
-NAACP Award as well,
I should mention, yes? -Yeah.
663
00:25:38,519 --> 00:25:39,854
-That's also another nomination.
-Yeah. I was--
664
00:25:39,954 --> 00:25:41,455
I was really honored by-by--
665
00:25:41,555 --> 00:25:43,057
I'm honored by it all.
666
00:25:43,157 --> 00:25:46,393
I'm-I'm very grateful for
the opportunities to be seen,
667
00:25:46,494 --> 00:25:48,062
-especially for artists
of color. -Right.
668
00:25:48,162 --> 00:25:49,764
Like, it feels like
we're all starting to have
669
00:25:49,864 --> 00:25:51,665
-a different kind of moment
right now. -Mm-hmm.
670
00:25:51,766 --> 00:25:54,668
And most of our work
is not only being seen
671
00:25:54,702 --> 00:25:56,737
but considered
and valued in different ways.
672
00:25:56,837 --> 00:25:58,205
And so that's...
673
00:25:58,305 --> 00:26:00,741
really the heart
of why I'm so excited.
674
00:26:00,841 --> 00:26:02,877
I think it's an honor for anyone
who gets to talk to you
675
00:26:02,977 --> 00:26:04,078
because of what you're doing
676
00:26:04,178 --> 00:26:05,713
and all of the mediums
you're doing it in.
677
00:26:05,813 --> 00:26:08,382
Like, "triple threat"
gets thrown around a lot.
678
00:26:08,482 --> 00:26:09,617
-It does. -You know? People are
like, "Oh, you're a triple--
679
00:26:09,683 --> 00:26:10,618
You're a singer.
You're a dancer."
680
00:26:10,718 --> 00:26:12,787
But you really are that.
You know?
681
00:26:12,887 --> 00:26:14,255
-SNL was one of
the best examples. -Thank you.
682
00:26:14,355 --> 00:26:15,756
-Congrats, by the way.
-Oh, my God, thank you.
683
00:26:15,856 --> 00:26:18,359
I-- Thank you.
I had a lot of fun on that show.
684
00:26:18,459 --> 00:26:19,460
You looked like you did.
685
00:26:19,627 --> 00:26:21,395
You did so well that--
686
00:26:21,495 --> 00:26:23,464
Like, I've seen people
crush it on SNL.
687
00:26:23,631 --> 00:26:25,299
I have seen very few people
crush it to the point
688
00:26:25,399 --> 00:26:27,802
where people watching are like,
"Where-Where's her SNL?
689
00:26:27,902 --> 00:26:29,904
-Where's her show?" -(laughs)
Now, that would be fun!
690
00:26:30,004 --> 00:26:31,305
-No, people were saying that.
-I would love that.
691
00:26:31,405 --> 00:26:32,706
People were like, "When is
Ariana doing her own thing?"
692
00:26:32,807 --> 00:26:36,177
Well, that's cool. L--
I'm-I'm actually not-not so shy
693
00:26:36,277 --> 00:26:37,845
about the fact
that I really want to bring the,
694
00:26:37,945 --> 00:26:39,447
like, variety show back.
695
00:26:39,547 --> 00:26:40,748
Like, I really want to do it.
696
00:26:40,848 --> 00:26:43,017
So if anybody wants
to hit me up on that,
697
00:26:43,117 --> 00:26:45,286
-cool, cool. Um...
-(laughs)
698
00:26:45,386 --> 00:26:48,923
It seems like to me
you are soon becoming
699
00:26:49,023 --> 00:26:50,991
the puzzle piece that everyone
is gonna have to figure out
700
00:26:51,092 --> 00:26:53,127
-how to fit around.
-(chuckles) That's cool.
701
00:26:53,227 --> 00:26:54,662
I've never been--
I've never had that.
702
00:26:54,695 --> 00:26:55,963
-I don't feel like
I've ever had that. -No, I-I...
703
00:26:56,063 --> 00:26:57,398
-So that's nice. -I genuinely
feel like that is what
704
00:26:57,498 --> 00:26:58,766
you are--
you are very quickly becoming.
705
00:26:58,866 --> 00:27:00,434
I mean, West Side Story is...
706
00:27:00,534 --> 00:27:02,036
(stammers)
707
00:27:02,136 --> 00:27:04,271
Few films get remade
708
00:27:04,371 --> 00:27:06,707
with as much pressure
as this one has had.
709
00:27:06,807 --> 00:27:09,977
-Yeah.
-You are playing a role
710
00:27:10,077 --> 00:27:12,379
that is arguably one
of the most important roles
711
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,215
in not just film history,
712
00:27:14,315 --> 00:27:16,217
but then, like, in the history
of so many Latina actresses,
713
00:27:16,317 --> 00:27:18,652
-Yeah. -...where they go like,
"This was... this was it."
714
00:27:18,753 --> 00:27:20,321
-Yeah. -You know, this was
the Rita Moreno moment
715
00:27:20,421 --> 00:27:22,056
-that changed film
for a lot of people. -Yeah.
716
00:27:22,156 --> 00:27:24,458
-It had an influence
in your life. -Yes, it did.
717
00:27:24,625 --> 00:27:26,961
I saw it when I was,
gosh, I guess,
718
00:27:27,061 --> 00:27:29,430
it felt like six or seven,
you know?
719
00:27:29,530 --> 00:27:31,332
And I didn't understand
who she was.
720
00:27:31,432 --> 00:27:34,635
But I understood
she sort of looked like me.
721
00:27:34,668 --> 00:27:36,871
And I wanted
to dance just like her.
722
00:27:36,971 --> 00:27:38,906
And then, not until my adulthood
723
00:27:39,006 --> 00:27:41,509
did I really understand
the full spectrum
724
00:27:41,642 --> 00:27:46,981
-of what "West Side Story"
did for her. -Mm-hmm.
725
00:27:47,081 --> 00:27:50,384
-What-what... and what she came
to mean to our community. -Mm.
726
00:27:50,484 --> 00:27:53,954
But then, also,
the struggles that she faced,
727
00:27:54,054 --> 00:27:56,557
after winning an Oscar,
you know?
728
00:27:56,657 --> 00:28:00,161
It's like, she became the first
Latina to win an Oscar,
729
00:28:00,261 --> 00:28:02,229
-and then, all of a sudden,
there was no work. -Right.
730
00:28:02,329 --> 00:28:04,665
So she had to find other ways
to expand her career.
731
00:28:04,732 --> 00:28:06,901
And I... as...
732
00:28:07,001 --> 00:28:08,969
It makes me very sad
that that was her experience,
733
00:28:09,070 --> 00:28:11,305
but also when you look
at her breadth of work,
734
00:28:11,405 --> 00:28:14,208
she showed you
that Latinas are not...
735
00:28:14,308 --> 00:28:15,910
-We don't just do this.
We do this. -Mm.
736
00:28:16,010 --> 00:28:17,645
And that's really cool.
737
00:28:17,745 --> 00:28:21,916
I mean, I think specifically
related to "West Side Story,"
738
00:28:22,016 --> 00:28:24,652
my being Afro-Latina--
that makes me especially proud
739
00:28:24,752 --> 00:28:26,187
-of what I've been able
to accomplish. -Mm-hmm.
740
00:28:26,287 --> 00:28:29,123
Because we really are not
represented on screen.
741
00:28:29,223 --> 00:28:31,125
And...
742
00:28:31,225 --> 00:28:34,995
I don't think
that any film is a perfect film,
743
00:28:35,096 --> 00:28:37,431
but I do think the fact
that we...
744
00:28:37,531 --> 00:28:40,734
that my inclusion
in this film works--
745
00:28:40,835 --> 00:28:42,903
-we're the beginnings of
getting it right. -I like that.
746
00:28:43,003 --> 00:28:44,972
And if Steven can do it,
one of the greatest directors,
747
00:28:45,072 --> 00:28:48,242
of all time-- 'cause he is--
748
00:28:48,342 --> 00:28:51,345
um, then I think
everybody else can.
749
00:28:51,445 --> 00:28:53,347
He's one of the greatest
directors of all time,
750
00:28:53,447 --> 00:28:55,382
but you said...
you said "no" to him
751
00:28:55,483 --> 00:28:57,885
-when he asked you
to read lines... -(laughing)
752
00:28:57,985 --> 00:28:59,420
-in the audition.
-Well, I... I did.
753
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,656
But that was simply because,
uh, I had found out
754
00:29:02,690 --> 00:29:04,825
about this audition
very, very last minute.
755
00:29:04,925 --> 00:29:06,293
-I was on Broadway at the time.
-Uh-huh.
756
00:29:06,393 --> 00:29:07,762
I was playing Donna Summer,
757
00:29:07,862 --> 00:29:09,096
which was a very
challenging role for me,
758
00:29:09,196 --> 00:29:11,398
and leading a company
takes a lot out of you.
759
00:29:11,499 --> 00:29:15,336
And I don't make a habit
of going into a room
760
00:29:15,436 --> 00:29:18,105
with anyone in it
and being unprepared. Do you?
761
00:29:18,205 --> 00:29:19,607
-No, no, but I...
-Do you like being unprepared?
762
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,609
But if it... Like,
that's-that's the difference.
763
00:29:21,642 --> 00:29:22,877
If I walked into a room,
764
00:29:22,977 --> 00:29:24,311
and Steven Spielberg
was in this room...
765
00:29:24,412 --> 00:29:25,946
Let's say I waked into
the elevator in this building,
766
00:29:26,046 --> 00:29:27,948
and then, it was Steven
Spielberg, and then, he said,
767
00:29:28,048 --> 00:29:29,316
"Trevor, I need you
to read these lines,"
768
00:29:29,417 --> 00:29:30,651
I'd just start
reading the lines.
769
00:29:30,751 --> 00:29:32,186
-You'd start reading them?
-I wouldn't be like,
770
00:29:32,286 --> 00:29:34,722
"No, Steven Spielberg. I haven't
prepared." I would just read.
771
00:29:34,822 --> 00:29:36,490
You said... you said "No."
772
00:29:36,624 --> 00:29:38,726
I said "No," 'cause I wanted...
I was like, "This is..."
773
00:29:38,826 --> 00:29:42,096
"I'm not prepared to show you
a viable interpretation
774
00:29:42,196 --> 00:29:43,297
-of this character."
-Wow.
775
00:29:43,397 --> 00:29:45,099
"And I would rather do that
than..."
776
00:29:45,199 --> 00:29:47,134
I'd rather give you something
that's usable
777
00:29:47,234 --> 00:29:48,903
than give you something
that's like, "Oh, my God.
778
00:29:49,003 --> 00:29:52,206
Thank you so much for coming in,
and next."
779
00:29:52,306 --> 00:29:54,475
Like, I wanted...
If I was gonna do it,
780
00:29:54,642 --> 00:29:56,844
it already took a lot of guts
for me to walk into the room
781
00:29:56,944 --> 00:29:59,246
because I didn't
actually believe
782
00:29:59,346 --> 00:30:02,016
that I'd ever be considered
783
00:30:02,116 --> 00:30:04,018
-for the job,
let alone get the job. -Mm-hmm.
784
00:30:04,118 --> 00:30:07,088
Um, then I was gonna do it
and do it well.
785
00:30:07,188 --> 00:30:09,824
In a way, I feel like
you saying no to
786
00:30:09,924 --> 00:30:12,159
doing it incorrectly, and
wanting to do it your way
787
00:30:12,259 --> 00:30:15,129
and the best way possible
is part of your character.
788
00:30:15,229 --> 00:30:16,664
-Like, that's, that's who Anita
sort of -(laughing)
789
00:30:16,764 --> 00:30:18,099
-is in West Side Story.
-She is. That is.
790
00:30:18,199 --> 00:30:20,701
It is. That is who
she is at her heart.
791
00:30:20,801 --> 00:30:23,304
And I think a lot
of my characters, like,
792
00:30:23,404 --> 00:30:26,674
-there are different
bits of me within them. -Mm-hmm.
793
00:30:26,774 --> 00:30:29,110
And that is the part of
me that is Anita, so...
794
00:30:29,210 --> 00:30:30,644
Before I let you go,
795
00:30:30,745 --> 00:30:32,947
-I would love to talk about
one of the most... -(chuckles)
796
00:30:33,047 --> 00:30:36,617
just, like, amazing
moments in-in film,
797
00:30:36,650 --> 00:30:39,620
and-and that is when
a character
798
00:30:39,687 --> 00:30:43,491
who has created a moment in
history comes back to the film.
799
00:30:43,624 --> 00:30:44,959
-Obviously, I'm speaking
about Rita Moreno, -Yeah.
800
00:30:45,059 --> 00:30:46,927
Who comes back in
West Side Story,
801
00:30:47,027 --> 00:30:48,329
playing a different role,
802
00:30:48,429 --> 00:30:50,631
but comes back as an
executive producer.
803
00:30:50,698 --> 00:30:53,033
And then you're in
a scene with her.
804
00:30:53,134 --> 00:30:55,536
I wonder if that-if that
was a lot of pressure for you.
805
00:30:55,636 --> 00:30:57,037
Was there any moment
that you shared with her
806
00:30:57,138 --> 00:30:58,639
where you were like,
"Okay, this is...
807
00:30:58,706 --> 00:31:01,175
"this is my thing that have I
sort of inherited from her,
808
00:31:01,275 --> 00:31:02,943
and I have the opportunity
to turn it into what I want"?
809
00:31:03,043 --> 00:31:04,278
I mean, we...
810
00:31:04,378 --> 00:31:06,881
we spoke briefly at the
beginning of the process,
811
00:31:06,981 --> 00:31:08,682
but she was very supportive,
812
00:31:08,783 --> 00:31:11,452
-Thank God. (laughs)
-(laughing)
813
00:31:11,585 --> 00:31:13,320
She made me feel
very comfortable.
814
00:31:13,421 --> 00:31:16,457
And just encouraged me
to bring everything
815
00:31:16,590 --> 00:31:18,225
-that made me unique
to the character. -Oh, nice.
816
00:31:18,325 --> 00:31:20,661
And just let me--
gave me permission,
817
00:31:20,761 --> 00:31:23,230
in her own energetic
way, to fly.
818
00:31:23,330 --> 00:31:25,099
And, now, the scene
you're talking about,
819
00:31:25,199 --> 00:31:28,369
is... it's deep,
heavy subject matter.
820
00:31:28,469 --> 00:31:32,006
And so I sort of shifted
into just focusing on
821
00:31:32,106 --> 00:31:33,741
who the characters were,
822
00:31:33,841 --> 00:31:35,242
and playing the truth
of the characters.
823
00:31:35,342 --> 00:31:36,677
Because if I had actually
thought about,
824
00:31:36,777 --> 00:31:39,113
"All right, now you're
going to yell at Rita Moreno."
825
00:31:39,213 --> 00:31:40,614
-(laughing)
-(laughs)
826
00:31:40,648 --> 00:31:41,682
I don't think anybody,
827
00:31:41,782 --> 00:31:43,184
if it hadn't have been me,
828
00:31:43,284 --> 00:31:44,952
I don't think anybody would have
been comfortable doing that.
829
00:31:45,052 --> 00:31:46,487
Right. Right.
830
00:31:46,620 --> 00:31:48,289
Well, you know what,
you did it.
831
00:31:48,389 --> 00:31:50,057
You-you looked
more than comfortable.
832
00:31:50,157 --> 00:31:51,625
I mean, you-you're just sailing.
833
00:31:51,692 --> 00:31:53,761
And, uh, congratulations
on the award.
834
00:31:53,861 --> 00:31:55,129
Congratulations
on the nominations,
835
00:31:55,229 --> 00:31:56,397
and everything that
you are going to achieve.
836
00:31:56,497 --> 00:31:58,032
-Thank you for joining me
on the show. -Thank you.
837
00:31:58,132 --> 00:31:59,400
Thanks for having me.
838
00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:01,302
NOAH: West Side Story
is in theaters right now.
839
00:32:01,402 --> 00:32:02,403
You definitely
want to go and watch it.
840
00:32:02,503 --> 00:32:03,471
We're gonna
take a quick break,
841
00:32:03,637 --> 00:32:05,406
but we'll be right
back after this.
842
00:32:07,575 --> 00:32:08,909
Well, that's our show for
tonight, but before we go,
843
00:32:09,009 --> 00:32:12,680
America is facing its worst
blood shortage in more than
844
00:32:12,780 --> 00:32:16,250
a decade, largely, in part,
due to the drop in donations
845
00:32:16,350 --> 00:32:17,885
since the start of the pandemic.
846
00:32:17,985 --> 00:32:19,753
But giving blood is easy.
847
00:32:19,854 --> 00:32:23,324
And just one blood donation
can save up to three lives.
848
00:32:23,424 --> 00:32:25,459
So, if you'd like to help end
this blood crisis,
849
00:32:25,559 --> 00:32:28,062
you can sign up online with
the American Red Cross.
850
00:32:28,162 --> 00:32:29,597
Call 1-800-RED-CROSS,
851
00:32:29,697 --> 00:32:31,765
or find a donation site near you
852
00:32:31,866 --> 00:32:34,635
through America's Blood Centers
at the link below.
853
00:32:34,735 --> 00:32:36,670
Until tomorrow,
stay safe out there,
854
00:32:36,770 --> 00:32:37,705
get your vaccine,
855
00:32:37,805 --> 00:32:39,106
and remember, if you're
856
00:32:39,206 --> 00:32:42,142
throwing a work party that's
against COVID regulations,
857
00:32:42,243 --> 00:32:43,811
do the safe thing,
858
00:32:43,911 --> 00:32:45,846
and kill everyone who attended.
859
00:32:45,946 --> 00:32:48,716
Now here it is,
Your Moment of Zen.
860
00:32:48,816 --> 00:32:51,218
Anyone in this room didn't
just pop out of nowhere.
861
00:32:51,318 --> 00:32:52,686
You are...
862
00:32:52,786 --> 00:32:57,424
What you become is what you
became from where you came from.
863
00:32:57,525 --> 00:33:00,060
So, if you have a mother,
a father,
864
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,596
sister, brother, an aunt,
a great aunt and uncle,
865
00:33:02,696 --> 00:33:04,765
anyone in your family,
or a teacher or mentor
866
00:33:04,865 --> 00:33:07,067
that you've looked up to
that's instilled in you
867
00:33:07,167 --> 00:33:10,471
something to go forward
and to achieve your dream,
868
00:33:10,571 --> 00:33:12,206
that is a very important person.
869
00:33:12,306 --> 00:33:15,910
We had nothing, but we had
everything because we had love.
