1
00:00:01,211 --> 00:00:02,178
Someone asked me if I was
I was going to the actual
2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,015
Super Bowl...
and I said, "Never.
3
00:00:05,115 --> 00:00:06,516
Again."
4
00:00:06,616 --> 00:00:08,084
More specifically,
I said, "Never again.
5
00:00:08,184 --> 00:00:10,153
'Cause I've-- Here's the thing,
I've been to one Super Bowl,
6
00:00:10,253 --> 00:00:12,222
and I-I don't understand how
anybody watches this, like,
7
00:00:12,322 --> 00:00:13,757
football live.
8
00:00:13,857 --> 00:00:15,225
There's no-- So when you go
watch football live, it's just
9
00:00:15,325 --> 00:00:17,227
a bunch of people,
and there's a ball,
10
00:00:17,327 --> 00:00:18,962
and you then you don't, like,
know what's happening.
11
00:00:19,062 --> 00:00:20,564
And also, there's the--
You forget that the guy
12
00:00:20,664 --> 00:00:23,133
is not talking, so, you know,
like, when you watch football,
13
00:00:23,233 --> 00:00:25,502
my introduction to football,
is everyone telling me things.
14
00:00:25,602 --> 00:00:28,872
"Well, here he is, Marcus Brown,
grew up in, uh, this town.
15
00:00:28,972 --> 00:00:31,207
His mama's a great fan
of this and that."
16
00:00:31,308 --> 00:00:33,877
And now there's nothing.
Now you're just standing there
17
00:00:33,977 --> 00:00:34,945
and it's just like,
people are like,
18
00:00:35,045 --> 00:00:38,248
"Yeah! Yeah!"
19
00:00:38,348 --> 00:00:41,451
Tell me about his family.
"Yeah."
20
00:00:41,551 --> 00:00:43,753
And then something happens on
the field, I can't see
21
00:00:43,853 --> 00:00:45,021
what's happened on the field
'cause sometimes
22
00:00:45,121 --> 00:00:47,157
it happens on
the other side of the field.
23
00:00:47,257 --> 00:00:48,892
And then you just
wait for, like,
24
00:00:48,992 --> 00:00:51,127
the ref to come and then
gossip. "Yeah, the guy,
25
00:00:51,228 --> 00:00:53,330
the guy-- he touched the ball
when he wasn't supposed to."
26
00:00:53,430 --> 00:00:56,233
Stop snitching.
I want to see the thing myself.
27
00:00:56,333 --> 00:00:59,069
And h-- The lines-- you know
how much more fun it is
28
00:00:59,169 --> 00:01:01,504
to watch the game when you know
how far the thing--
29
00:01:01,605 --> 00:01:03,740
It actually made me realize
how hard football actually is,
30
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,109
'cause when I watch
football on TV
31
00:01:06,142 --> 00:01:08,678
I go, "You idiot,
the line was here.
32
00:01:08,778 --> 00:01:11,681
"You saw the line. Then you ran,
then the line was just--
33
00:01:11,781 --> 00:01:13,550
If you ran that way,
the line was there."
34
00:01:13,650 --> 00:01:14,951
Then, when you go watch football
live, you're like,
35
00:01:15,118 --> 00:01:17,487
"There's no line.
How does this guy know
36
00:01:17,587 --> 00:01:19,522
how far he's supposed to--
There's no line."
37
00:01:19,623 --> 00:01:21,124
In fact, I think most-most
sports-- they make it
38
00:01:21,157 --> 00:01:22,726
look easier when you're
sitting at home.
39
00:01:22,826 --> 00:01:24,127
And then, when you get there,
you're like,
40
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,731
"Oh, no. Sorry I talked shit
from home, LeBron.
41
00:01:27,831 --> 00:01:29,966
"Yeah, from home, it was
very simple. 'Cause I saw
42
00:01:30,133 --> 00:01:31,801
"where the opening was--
you should have shot from there.
43
00:01:31,902 --> 00:01:33,403

Yeah, remember school?
57
00:02:09,573 --> 00:02:12,309
It's the place where you go
to learn things like math

about sexual orientation
or gender identity is advancing.

A Florida senate committee
just passed the so-called
68
00:02:38,335 --> 00:02:41,504
"Don't Say Gay" bill.
Opponents warn
69
00:02:41,605 --> 00:02:43,139
it would lead to further
stigmatization
70
00:02:43,173 --> 00:02:45,942
of gay, lesbian,
and transgender children.
71
00:02:46,042 --> 00:02:47,611
Florida governor Ron DeSantis
72
00:02:47,711 --> 00:02:49,312
has indicated support
for the bill.
73
00:02:49,412 --> 00:02:52,515
The Republican says it's not
appropriate for teachers
74
00:02:52,616 --> 00:02:54,384
to have conversations
with students about

sexual orientation
or gender identity.
76
00:02:57,487 --> 00:03:00,590
Yeah. I agree
with Ron DeSantis. Right?
77
00:03:00,690 --> 00:03:02,392
Kids shouldn't learn
that people can be
78
00:03:02,492 --> 00:03:05,095
straight or gay in school.
79
00:03:05,128 --> 00:03:06,529
We shouldn't teach them that.
80
00:03:06,630 --> 00:03:08,632
We should just let them get
surprised when they turn 18.
81
00:03:08,732 --> 00:03:11,401
"What?! Two men can do what?!
Are you...

"Oh, that's what Lil Nas X
was singing about.

I thought he just liked prison."
84
00:03:16,206 --> 00:03:19,609
Now, on the one hand, this
is terrible, because many kids
85
00:03:19,709 --> 00:03:22,345
can't talk about
gay issues at home,
86
00:03:22,445 --> 00:03:25,982
so school could be the one place
where they can learn.
87
00:03:26,116 --> 00:03:29,319
I mean, I guess, on the other
hand, this "Don't Say Gay" law
88
00:03:29,419 --> 00:03:31,855
is gonna have some upsides.
I mean, it's gonna make it
89
00:03:31,955 --> 00:03:34,424
a lot harder
for bullies in school. Yeah.
90
00:03:34,524 --> 00:03:36,393
'Cause they'll in the hallway
like, "You're gay." And then
91
00:03:36,493 --> 00:03:38,495
Ron DeSantis is just gonna
burst out of a locker, like,
92
00:03:38,595 --> 00:03:41,231
"No! Don't say that!
93
00:03:41,331 --> 00:03:43,133
"You make fun of his haircut.
Look at it.
94

Looks like he fought
a lawnmower. Come on."
95
00:03:45,802 --> 00:03:47,837
You know, if you ask me,
the real issue here
96
00:03:47,938 --> 00:03:49,739
is that these people are worried
that their kids are gonna
97
00:03:49,839 --> 00:03:51,775
learn about being gay
and then, all of a sudden,
98
00:03:51,875 --> 00:03:54,344
get converted to gay.
That's what the fight's about.
99
00:03:54,444 --> 00:03:57,314
"Don't teach my kids
about gay in school
100
00:03:57,414 --> 00:03:58,715
because they're gonna
become gay."
101
00:03:58,815 --> 00:04:01,418
That's ridiculous.
Learning about the thing
102
00:04:01,518 --> 00:04:04,087
doesn't magically
turn you into the thing.
103
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,956
I mean, in school,
when I learned about the French,
104
00:04:06,089 --> 00:04:07,857
it's not like
I came home that day like,
105
00:04:07,958 --> 00:04:10,393
(French accent): "Mama,
I have something to tell you."
106
00:04:10,493 --> 00:04:12,662
(South African accent): "Ah.
I knew all along, my child."
107
00:04:12,762 --> 00:04:14,831
(regular accent):
Anyway, let's move on.
108
00:04:14,931 --> 00:04:16,333
There's a big story that's
coming out of the art world
109
00:04:16,433 --> 00:04:18,568
right now, uh, and if you're one
of those people who's like,
110
00:04:18,668 --> 00:04:20,537
"I don't understand modern art,"
111
00:04:20,637 --> 00:04:23,139
well, first of all,
congratulations on being basic,
112
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,642
and, second, maybe you should
stop complaining
113
00:04:25,742 --> 00:04:28,912
and do something about it,
like this guy did.
114
00:04:29,012 --> 00:04:32,015
A security guard was fired
from the job at a Russian museum
115
00:04:32,115 --> 00:04:34,618
after drawing eyes
on a million-dollar painting.
116
00:04:34,718 --> 00:04:36,319
I want you guys
to look closely at this.
117
00:04:36,419 --> 00:04:40,523
The Three Figures painting
had a blank space on the faces.
118
00:04:40,624 --> 00:04:42,292
You can see the version
on the left.
119
00:04:42,392 --> 00:04:44,461
But reports say
the security guard got bored,
120
00:04:44,561 --> 00:04:46,730
decided to grab a pen
and just draw a pair of eyes
121
00:04:46,830 --> 00:04:48,965
on two of the three figures.
122
00:04:49,132 --> 00:04:50,834
H-Hold on, hold on.
123
00:04:50,934 --> 00:04:53,770
This-this guy
defaced a classic painting
124
00:04:53,870 --> 00:04:55,939
because he was bored?
125
00:04:56,039 --> 00:04:57,841
Like, in a museum,
you were bored,
126
00:04:57,941 --> 00:05:01,077
and so you drew... Like,
have you not heard of TikTok?
127
00:05:01,111 --> 00:05:02,979
And I know a lot of you basic
bitches out there right now
128
00:05:03,079 --> 00:05:04,614
are looking at the eyes
on this painting. You're saying,
129
00:05:04,714 --> 00:05:06,149
"That actually does
look better."
130
00:05:06,249 --> 00:05:07,751
But that's not the point!
131
00:05:07,851 --> 00:05:09,886
Art is not
about what looks better.
132
00:05:09,986 --> 00:05:12,989
Art is about confusing people
with a thing that allows you
133
00:05:13,089 --> 00:05:16,126
to feel like you are better
than them, a'ight?
134
00:05:17,427 --> 00:05:18,929
And how do we know
that this thing
135
00:05:19,095 --> 00:05:20,597
wasn't just a publicity stunt
from the museum?
136
00:05:20,697 --> 00:05:22,098
Because I don't know about you,
but I've never heard
137
00:05:22,198 --> 00:05:23,266
of this faceless panting
in my life.
138
00:05:23,366 --> 00:05:24,901
Now I'm seeing it everywhere.
139
00:05:25,001 --> 00:05:26,570
You know, this could just be,
like, a trick.
140
00:05:26,670 --> 00:05:28,905
Maybe this is what
all museums do just to get hype.
141
00:05:29,005 --> 00:05:30,807
"Did somebody steal
the Mona Lisa's eyebrows?
142
00:05:30,907 --> 00:05:32,876
Come see for yourself."
143
00:05:32,976 --> 00:05:35,412
And finally, let's move on from
one piece of work to another.
144
00:05:35,512 --> 00:05:38,315
Donald Johnson & Johnson
baby powder Trump,
145
00:05:38,415 --> 00:05:41,151
the ex-president most likely
to be a surprise judge
146
00:05:41,251 --> 00:05:42,719
at a wet T-shirt contest.
147
00:05:42,819 --> 00:05:46,656
Yesterday, the government office
that keeps presidential records
148
00:05:46,756 --> 00:05:49,593
asked the Justice Department
149
00:05:49,693 --> 00:05:52,762
to investigate
Trump's improper handling
150
00:05:52,862 --> 00:05:54,364
of official documents.
151
00:05:54,464 --> 00:05:56,533
And, like, at this point,
152
00:05:56,633 --> 00:05:57,934
I'm wondering
if there are any laws
153
00:05:58,034 --> 00:05:59,502
that Trump hasn't broken.
154
00:05:59,603 --> 00:06:03,073
You know? Like, if there was
a Guinness Book of World Records
155
00:06:03,173 --> 00:06:05,709
for crime,
he'd probably steal the book.
156
00:06:05,809 --> 00:06:07,477
But yeah, according to reports,
157
00:06:07,577 --> 00:06:10,480
Trump would rip up papers
after he read them.
158
00:06:10,580 --> 00:06:13,083
Right? He took boxes of material
with him to Mar-a-Lago,
159
00:06:13,149 --> 00:06:15,085
and now we're learning
that Trump did
160
00:06:15,151 --> 00:06:18,555
the most Trump thing
that he possibly could have done
161
00:06:18,655 --> 00:06:20,624
with some of these documents.
162
00:06:20,724 --> 00:06:21,992
We're beginning
with breaking news.
163
00:06:22,092 --> 00:06:24,194
Staff members
at the White House residence
164
00:06:24,294 --> 00:06:27,964
discovered wads of printed paper
in a clogged toilet
165
00:06:28,098 --> 00:06:31,101
on more than one occasion
during the Trump administration
166
00:06:31,201 --> 00:06:33,937
and believed that it was
the former president himself
167
00:06:34,104 --> 00:06:36,773
who was trying
to flush documents.
168
00:06:36,873 --> 00:06:39,376
I learned that staff
in the White House residence
169
00:06:39,476 --> 00:06:42,579
would periodically find
the-the toilet clogged.
170
00:06:42,679 --> 00:06:45,615
The engineer would have to come
and-and fix it,
171
00:06:45,715 --> 00:06:47,517
and what the engineer would find
172
00:06:47,617 --> 00:06:50,587
would be wads of, you know,
clumped-up print...
173
00:06:50,687 --> 00:06:52,122
wet printed paper.
174
00:06:52,188 --> 00:06:54,357
Um, you know,
meaning it was not toilet paper.
175
00:06:54,457 --> 00:06:55,525
It could be Post-its.
176
00:06:55,625 --> 00:06:56,960
It could be notes
he wrote to himself.
177
00:06:57,127 --> 00:06:58,261
It could be other things.
We don't know.
178
00:06:58,361 --> 00:07:00,430
But it certainly does add,
as you said,
179
00:07:00,530 --> 00:07:02,666
another dimension
to what we know
180
00:07:02,766 --> 00:07:05,502
about how he handled material
in the White House.
181
00:07:05,602 --> 00:07:07,103
You know, it's so funny
how in every scandal
182
00:07:07,203 --> 00:07:08,672
involving Trump and documents,
183
00:07:08,772 --> 00:07:11,942
none of them
involve him reading them.
184
00:07:12,075 --> 00:07:14,477
And-and by the way,
I will say this.
185
00:07:14,578 --> 00:07:16,313
I know it's easy
for us to all go,
186
00:07:16,413 --> 00:07:18,381
"Trump was trying
to obstruct justice.
187
00:07:18,481 --> 00:07:20,617
That's what this was."
188
00:07:20,717 --> 00:07:23,386
But you do remember
at the start of the pandemic,
189
00:07:23,486 --> 00:07:27,224
there was a shortage of what?
190
00:07:27,324 --> 00:07:29,192
And I don't know about you guys,
191
00:07:29,292 --> 00:07:30,894
but when there's
no toilet paper,
192
00:07:30,994 --> 00:07:34,731
state documents
start to look mighty tempting.
193
00:07:34,831 --> 00:07:36,433
It also does explain
194
00:07:36,533 --> 00:07:38,235
why Trump was always complaining
about toilets.
195
00:07:38,335 --> 00:07:40,437
He always... You remember
how he always did that?
196
00:07:40,537 --> 00:07:43,506
People are flushing toilets
ten times, 15 times,
197
00:07:43,607 --> 00:07:45,575
as opposed to once.
198
00:07:45,675 --> 00:07:47,377
They end up using more water.
199
00:07:47,477 --> 00:07:49,713
"Yeah, they're flushing them
ten times, 15 times."
200
00:07:49,813 --> 00:07:51,748
No, dude,
you were flushing toilets
201
00:07:51,848 --> 00:07:54,117
ten times, 15 times,
202
00:07:54,150 --> 00:07:57,120
because you were shoving
your homework down the toilet.
203
00:07:57,153 --> 00:07:58,455
I mean, everyone assumed
204
00:07:58,555 --> 00:08:00,156
he was a man who clogged
the White House toilets,
205
00:08:00,257 --> 00:08:02,425
but no one ever thought
we'd have to ask the question,
206
00:08:02,525 --> 00:08:04,694
"But with what?"
207
00:08:04,794 --> 00:08:07,163
Now, of course,
Trump denies all of this.
208
00:08:07,264 --> 00:08:11,368
He says he never clogged
any toilets ever.
209
00:08:11,468 --> 00:08:13,837
"Smoothest poo of all time."
210
00:08:13,937 --> 00:08:16,473
So, the big question is
who's telling the truth?
211
00:08:16,573 --> 00:08:19,142
Well, luckily,
we have an exclusive interview
212
00:08:19,242 --> 00:08:22,178
with the only man
who knows what the truth is.
213
00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:24,314
So we're gonna go out live
right now
214
00:08:24,414 --> 00:08:26,616
to the White House
to chat to that man.
215
00:08:26,716 --> 00:08:28,385
Sir, I understand that you are
216
00:08:28,485 --> 00:08:30,287
the official
White House plumber.
217
00:08:30,387 --> 00:08:32,455
(Italian accent):
That's right. It's me.
218
00:08:32,556 --> 00:08:34,791
(regular voice):
Carl Schwartz. How you doing?
219
00:08:34,891 --> 00:08:36,293
Well, doing well.
220
00:08:36,393 --> 00:08:37,861
-Thank you so much for joining
us, Mr. Schwartz. -Uh-huh.
221
00:08:37,961 --> 00:08:39,229
Um, as the White House plumber,
222
00:08:39,329 --> 00:08:41,164
we'd love for you to tell us
everything you know
223
00:08:41,264 --> 00:08:43,700
about Trump flushing documents
down the toilet?
224
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,902
All right, let me stop you
right there, chief, okay?
225
00:08:46,002 --> 00:08:47,837
Sorry to disappoint you,
but I can't.
226
00:08:47,938 --> 00:08:49,673
It's the plumbers' code.
227
00:08:49,773 --> 00:08:51,808
-The plumbers' code?
-That's right.
228
00:08:51,908 --> 00:08:54,010
It's the iron code
all plumbers live by.
229
00:08:54,110 --> 00:08:56,246
One:
never tell a toilet's secrets.
230
00:08:56,346 --> 00:08:57,981
Two: always round up the bill.
231
00:08:58,114 --> 00:09:00,350
Three: no visible butt crack.
232
00:09:00,450 --> 00:09:01,751
I'm trying to break
that stereotype.
233
00:09:01,851 --> 00:09:03,887
So I'm sorry,
but I can't reveal what I know
234
00:09:04,054 --> 00:09:06,556
about Trump's toilet,
no matter what.
235
00:09:06,656 --> 00:09:09,059
Aw, come on!
236
00:09:09,092 --> 00:09:10,393
All right, fine, I'll tell you.
237
00:09:10,493 --> 00:09:12,796
I was in Trump's bathroom
almost every day
238
00:09:12,896 --> 00:09:14,431
pulling paper out of the toilet.
239
00:09:14,531 --> 00:09:16,766
I unclogged
so many classified documents,
240
00:09:16,866 --> 00:09:18,868
they had to give me
top secret clearance.
241
00:09:18,969 --> 00:09:20,604
I'm talking CIA briefings,
242
00:09:20,704 --> 00:09:21,972
diplomatic cables,
243
00:09:22,072 --> 00:09:24,975
the medical experiments
that created Rudy Giuliani.
244
00:09:25,075 --> 00:09:26,443
Honestly, some of the stuff,
245
00:09:26,543 --> 00:09:28,245
I didn't even understand
what it meant.
246
00:09:28,345 --> 00:09:30,547
Like, I found this one document
that just says
247
00:09:30,647 --> 00:09:33,483
"Nuke Spain?"
248
00:09:33,583 --> 00:09:34,885
Oh, wow.
249
00:09:34,985 --> 00:09:36,386
Yeah.
250
00:09:36,486 --> 00:09:37,854
Y-You must have been
pretty frustrated
251
00:09:37,954 --> 00:09:40,423
with President Trump giving you
so much unnecessary work.
252
00:09:40,523 --> 00:09:42,659
Are you kidding me?
I love President Trump.
253
00:09:42,759 --> 00:09:44,394
He made my job more interesting,
254
00:09:44,494 --> 00:09:46,963
and he trusted me
with our nation's top secrets.
255
00:09:47,097 --> 00:09:48,965
Unlike certain other presidents
256
00:09:49,099 --> 00:09:51,635
who just use the toilet
to poop or pee.
257
00:09:51,735 --> 00:09:53,970
(whispers): Obama.
258
00:09:54,104 --> 00:09:55,272
I don't know
why you said it like that.
259
00:09:55,372 --> 00:09:56,673
You could've-- We knew who the--
260
00:09:56,773 --> 00:09:58,341
Anyway, um,
let me ask you this--
261
00:09:58,441 --> 00:09:59,709
was Trump the only one
in the White House
262
00:09:59,809 --> 00:10:00,877
who was flushing documents?
263
00:10:00,977 --> 00:10:02,712
Uh, did Vice President Pence
do it?
264
00:10:02,812 --> 00:10:05,515
No, no, no. Mike Pence
never even used the bathroom.
265
00:10:05,615 --> 00:10:07,284
He actually doesn't have
any holes.
266
00:10:07,384 --> 00:10:08,451
Now, if you'll excuse me,
267
00:10:08,552 --> 00:10:10,153
I have an emergency
I have to deal with.
268
00:10:10,253 --> 00:10:12,088
Kamala Harris has been locked
in the bathroom
269
00:10:12,188 --> 00:10:13,657
for the past year.
270
00:10:13,757 --> 00:10:15,125
Oh, wow.
Is that where she's been?
271
00:10:15,225 --> 00:10:17,294
Well-well, good luck with that
and thank you so much,
272
00:10:17,394 --> 00:10:18,895
-Mr. Schwartz.
-You got it, chief.
273
00:10:18,995 --> 00:10:20,897
Did he say "no holes"?
274
00:10:20,997 --> 00:10:22,799
It's gonna be $6,000.
275
00:10:24,034 --> 00:10:25,869
All right.
That wasn't very helpful.
276
00:10:25,969 --> 00:10:28,872
So let's move on to the big news
that's coming out of Canada,
277
00:10:28,972 --> 00:10:31,007
America's
quiet upstairs neighbor,
278
00:10:31,107 --> 00:10:32,409
or at least they used to be.
279
00:10:32,509 --> 00:10:34,211
Because, as you may have heard,
280
00:10:34,311 --> 00:10:36,980
there is
a major antivaccine protest
281
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,151
taking place in Canada's capital
city of Ottawa right now.
282
00:10:41,251 --> 00:10:44,154
Now, antivaccine protests are
pretty common these days, right?
283
00:10:44,254 --> 00:10:45,655
But these protestors
are different,
284
00:10:45,755 --> 00:10:48,024
because they're truck drivers,
285
00:10:48,124 --> 00:10:49,659
which means they have trucks.
286
00:10:49,759 --> 00:10:51,861
And people with trucks
have more power
287
00:10:51,962 --> 00:10:53,530
than any other people.
288
00:10:53,630 --> 00:10:55,265
They just do.
This is, like, a fact of trucks.
289
00:10:55,365 --> 00:10:57,300
Think about it--
in every heist movie ever,
290
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,169
what do they need
to pull off the heist?
291
00:10:59,269 --> 00:11:00,503
A truck. Yeah.
292
00:11:00,604 --> 00:11:02,339
When a Batman villain tries
to shut down the city,
293
00:11:02,439 --> 00:11:03,506
they need a truck.
294
00:11:03,607 --> 00:11:04,841
Having trucks
just gives you the ability
295
00:11:04,941 --> 00:11:06,810
to outmuscle people
who don't have trucks.
296
00:11:06,910 --> 00:11:09,512
And so, even though 90%
of Canadian truckers are vaxxed,
297
00:11:09,613 --> 00:11:12,782
this small minority is still
able to cause big problems.
298
00:11:12,883 --> 00:11:15,518
They've essentially shut down
Downtown Ottawa
299
00:11:15,619 --> 00:11:17,687
for two weeks now.
300
00:11:17,787 --> 00:11:20,557
And if you want to know why
these truckers are so fired up,
301
00:11:20,657 --> 00:11:22,926
well, they're more than happy
to tell you.
302
00:11:23,026 --> 00:11:25,161
What is the stuff
that you can't do right now
303
00:11:25,262 --> 00:11:26,630
as-as a nonvaccinated person?
304
00:11:26,730 --> 00:11:28,565
I live in Quebec,
so it's a bit more intense
305
00:11:28,665 --> 00:11:29,933
than other places in Canada.
306
00:11:30,033 --> 00:11:32,269
But, look, I can't go skiing.
I can't go to Walmart.
307
00:11:32,369 --> 00:11:34,004
I can't go to Canadian Tire.
I can't go to Home Depot.
308
00:11:34,137 --> 00:11:35,405
I can't go to restaurants.
I can't go to bars.
309
00:11:35,505 --> 00:11:36,673
I can't go to the gym.
310
00:11:36,773 --> 00:11:38,375
And because you're
not vaccinated, have you...
311
00:11:38,475 --> 00:11:40,677
Is there a business,
is there stuff you can't do
312
00:11:40,777 --> 00:11:42,012
in Canada now?
313
00:11:42,145 --> 00:11:43,480
Yeah, like, I'm like--
I'm like--
314
00:11:43,580 --> 00:11:45,749
Well, basically, if you want
to compare Canada,
315
00:11:45,849 --> 00:11:47,617
uh, to anything, it's like, uh,
316
00:11:47,717 --> 00:11:49,219
Hitler's Germany
317
00:11:49,319 --> 00:11:50,987
and we're like the Jews, eh?
318
00:11:52,822 --> 00:11:55,792
You see, this is why
we shouldn't be banning books.
319
00:11:55,892 --> 00:11:57,394
Because now this guy thinks
320
00:11:57,494 --> 00:11:58,962
that the Holocaust is
321
00:11:59,062 --> 00:12:01,865
when you can't take a shit
in a Tim Hortons.
322
00:12:01,965 --> 00:12:04,100
I mean, even Marjorie Taylor
Greene is looking at this guy,
323
00:12:04,134 --> 00:12:06,369
like, "Dude, this isn't anything
like the Holocaust.
324
00:12:06,469 --> 00:12:08,305
There's no soup here at all."
325
00:12:10,006 --> 00:12:11,241
It's actually wild
when you think about it,
326
00:12:11,341 --> 00:12:12,309
like, how many different ways
327
00:12:12,409 --> 00:12:13,677
people disrespect
Holocaust survivors.
328
00:12:13,777 --> 00:12:15,111
Because some people are like,
329
00:12:15,212 --> 00:12:17,180
"What happened to you
didn't happen."
330
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,248
And then some people are like,
331
00:12:18,348 --> 00:12:20,150
"No, what happened to you
did happen,
332
00:12:20,250 --> 00:12:22,519
"and it's happening again to me
right now,
333
00:12:22,619 --> 00:12:25,121
because I can't go skiing.
Team."
334
00:12:25,188 --> 00:12:26,957
But, anyway, the point is,
these truckers
335
00:12:27,123 --> 00:12:28,758
and their supporters
feel persecuted.
336
00:12:28,858 --> 00:12:30,594
And when this started,
it was just a protest
337
00:12:30,694 --> 00:12:33,263
against vaccine requirements
for truckers.
338
00:12:33,363 --> 00:12:35,465
But it's now grown
into a wider movement
339
00:12:35,565 --> 00:12:37,834
against
all coronavirus restrictions.
340
00:12:37,934 --> 00:12:39,869
They want vaccine mandates gone.
341
00:12:39,970 --> 00:12:41,771
They want mask mandates gone.
342
00:12:41,871 --> 00:12:44,608
They want to be free to sneeze
into strangers' mouths again,
343
00:12:44,708 --> 00:12:46,142
like the good old days.
344
00:12:46,176 --> 00:12:48,879
But blocking traffic in Downtown
Ottawa hasn't done the trick,
345
00:12:48,979 --> 00:12:52,215
so now they've decided
to take things up a notch.
346
00:12:52,315 --> 00:12:53,650
NEWSWOMAN:
A crucial trade link
347
00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:55,452
between Canada
and the United States
348
00:12:55,552 --> 00:12:58,755
was disrupted by protesters
for a third day in a row.
349
00:12:58,855 --> 00:13:01,625
The Ambassador Bridge is the
busiest international crossing
350
00:13:01,725 --> 00:13:04,594
in North America,
linking Windsor, Ontario,
351
00:13:04,694 --> 00:13:07,530
to Detroit, while another
border crossing in Ontario
352
00:13:07,631 --> 00:13:10,133
is experiencing
an hours'-long delay.
353
00:13:10,233 --> 00:13:12,335
The Ambassador Bridge
sees about one-quarter
354
00:13:12,435 --> 00:13:16,106
of all the goods that go between
the two countries every day.
355
00:13:16,172 --> 00:13:17,474
On a normal day,
356
00:13:17,574 --> 00:13:21,411
that's about $340 million worth
of goods rolling through.
357
00:13:21,511 --> 00:13:23,780
And the impact
is already being felt.
358
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,983
Ontario auto plants,
including Ford and Stellantis,
359
00:13:27,117 --> 00:13:29,686
reduced production
over the last 24 hours
360
00:13:29,786 --> 00:13:31,655
due to missing parts
from shipments.
361
00:13:31,755 --> 00:13:33,757
NEWSWOMAN 2: Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau calling
362
00:13:33,857 --> 00:13:35,191
for an end to the protests.
363
00:13:35,292 --> 00:13:37,727
Right now,
people in Windsor are suffering
364
00:13:37,827 --> 00:13:40,497
and losing their jobs 'cause
they can't get auto parts
365
00:13:40,597 --> 00:13:42,499
across the Ambassador Bridge.
366
00:13:42,599 --> 00:13:44,634
Yeah, you see? You see?
367
00:13:44,734 --> 00:13:46,236
Now you can really see
how much of an impact
368
00:13:46,336 --> 00:13:47,871
the truck protest can have.
369
00:13:47,971 --> 00:13:49,539
You just park a bunch of them
on a bridge,
370
00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:51,608
just a key bridge. Boom!
371
00:13:51,708 --> 00:13:53,710
International trade slows
to a trickle.
372
00:13:53,810 --> 00:13:56,413
Which I didn't even know
could still happen, by the way.
373
00:13:56,513 --> 00:13:57,914
You know, 'cause
that almost sounds like a story
374
00:13:58,014 --> 00:13:59,349
from medieval times.
375
00:13:59,449 --> 00:14:01,484
You know, when the army would
block one mountain pass,
376
00:14:01,585 --> 00:14:03,920
and then your entire village
would starve.
377
00:14:04,087 --> 00:14:06,690
Then you'd have to eat
your horse, and then your dog,
378
00:14:06,790 --> 00:14:09,192
and then eventually, you'd be
forced to eat your own children.
379
00:14:09,292 --> 00:14:11,828
And then, right as you finish
eating your last child,
380
00:14:11,928 --> 00:14:13,897
the siege would end,
and you'd have to spend the rest
381
00:14:13,997 --> 00:14:15,365
of your life in therapy.
382
00:14:15,465 --> 00:14:19,269
I just feel really bad
for eating my own children.
383
00:14:19,369 --> 00:14:20,904
Look, you can't blame yourself.
384
00:14:21,004 --> 00:14:23,440
That path was closed
for almost two days.
385
00:14:23,540 --> 00:14:24,774
Like, think about it.
Think about it.
386
00:14:24,874 --> 00:14:26,843
If these were just
regular protesters on foot,
387
00:14:26,943 --> 00:14:28,445
the cops would have
cleared them out by now.
388
00:14:28,545 --> 00:14:32,682
But to move a truck, you need
someone who can drive a truck,
389
00:14:32,782 --> 00:14:34,851
which isn't as easy
as it sounds.
390
00:14:34,951 --> 00:14:37,487
It takes months of training
to be able to sit
391
00:14:37,587 --> 00:14:38,788
in the driver's seat
of a truck
392
00:14:38,889 --> 00:14:40,957
and not just honk the horn
the whole time.
393
00:14:41,124 --> 00:14:42,425
It's extremely tempting.
394
00:14:42,525 --> 00:14:45,128
So now, these truckers are
finding a lot of support
395
00:14:45,228 --> 00:14:47,998
not just from Canadians,
but from Republicans
396
00:14:48,131 --> 00:14:50,467
in the United States. Yeah.
Rand Paul, Donald Trump,
397
00:14:50,567 --> 00:14:52,035
everyone on Fox News
are coming out
398
00:14:52,135 --> 00:14:54,204
in support of these truckers,
which I do find kind of funny.
399
00:14:54,304 --> 00:14:55,972
Because all of these people
who are cheering on the truckers
400
00:14:56,139 --> 00:14:58,475
are like, "Yeah,
shut it all down, truckers!
401
00:14:58,575 --> 00:15:00,277
Bring the economy to its knees!"
402
00:15:00,377 --> 00:15:02,145
Aren't those the same people
who said
403
00:15:02,245 --> 00:15:03,813
we shouldn't have
any COVID restrictions
404
00:15:03,914 --> 00:15:05,448
because the last thing
we wanted to do
405
00:15:05,549 --> 00:15:07,784
is bring an economy down
to its knees?
406
00:15:07,884 --> 00:15:09,786
I mean, so, basically what?
407
00:15:09,886 --> 00:15:12,122
It's-it's not worth hurting
the economy
408
00:15:12,222 --> 00:15:15,992
just to save countless lives,
but it is to make a point?
409
00:15:16,092 --> 00:15:17,494
Then, if you're just making
a point, then it's like,
410
00:15:17,594 --> 00:15:19,696
"Yeah, go for it, buddy!
You got it!"?
411
00:15:19,796 --> 00:15:22,766
But regardless, these
Republicans are now calling
412
00:15:22,866 --> 00:15:25,335
for the trucker movement
to come to America.
413
00:15:25,435 --> 00:15:28,838
And it looks like
they might soon get their wish.
414
00:15:28,939 --> 00:15:31,474
Ottawa's so-called
"Freedom Convoy"
415
00:15:31,575 --> 00:15:34,544
spawning similar
anti-vax mandate protests
416
00:15:34,644 --> 00:15:36,446
in cities around the world.
417
00:15:36,546 --> 00:15:38,648
In Australia,
protesters assembled
418
00:15:38,748 --> 00:15:40,183
outside the capitol building,
419
00:15:40,283 --> 00:15:43,420
many waving Australian flags
and signs asking for freedom.
420
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,122
In New Zealand, protesters
camped outside Parliament
421
00:15:46,189 --> 00:15:47,657
for a second day.
422
00:15:47,757 --> 00:15:49,426
And in France,
hundreds of protesters
423
00:15:49,526 --> 00:15:53,763
in Nice headed for Paris,
waving Canadian flags.
424
00:15:53,863 --> 00:15:55,532
NEWSMAN 2: The Department
of Homeland Security is telling
425
00:15:55,632 --> 00:15:58,001
law enforcement authorities
it's receiving reports
426
00:15:58,134 --> 00:16:01,171
that a similar kind of convoy
could soon begin in the U.S.
427
00:16:01,271 --> 00:16:03,206
NEWSMAN 3: The department has
"received reports
428
00:16:03,306 --> 00:16:06,243
"of truck drivers planning
to potentially block roads
429
00:16:06,343 --> 00:16:08,979
in major metropolitan cities
in the United States."
430
00:16:09,079 --> 00:16:11,648
The protests could begin
as soon as Sunday in Los Angeles
431
00:16:11,748 --> 00:16:15,118
to disrupt the Super Bowl, and
then travel across the country
432
00:16:15,218 --> 00:16:18,121
to disrupt President Biden's
State of the Union in D.C.
433
00:16:18,221 --> 00:16:19,556
on March 1.
434
00:16:19,656 --> 00:16:23,827
Whoa! These guys want
to disrupt the Super Bowl.
435
00:16:23,927 --> 00:16:27,097
I don't know, man. That seems
like a terrible strategy.
436
00:16:27,197 --> 00:16:29,099
I mean, think about it.
You'd be ruining one
437
00:16:29,199 --> 00:16:32,702
of the last things that everyone
in America loves. Everyone.
438
00:16:32,802 --> 00:16:34,804
You're going
to block the Super Bowl?
439
00:16:34,905 --> 00:16:37,374
What's your follow-up?
Driving over Dolly Parton?
440
00:16:37,474 --> 00:16:39,676
And honestly, I don't know how
441
00:16:39,776 --> 00:16:42,112
disrupting Super Bowl traffic
is even gonna work.
442
00:16:42,178 --> 00:16:44,581
Right? If you're in Los Angeles
on Super Bowl Sunday,
443
00:16:44,681 --> 00:16:46,416
you're the one who is going
to be stuck in the traffic.
444
00:16:46,516 --> 00:16:48,118
-(horn honking)
-"Come on, move it!
445
00:16:48,151 --> 00:16:50,754
I got to get to the traffic
disruption! Come on!"
446
00:16:50,854 --> 00:16:52,989
And not to mention, disrupting
the State of the Union
447
00:16:53,123 --> 00:16:55,191
could also backfire
on these truckers. Yeah.
448
00:16:55,292 --> 00:16:56,793
They're gonna come there and
then, what? Honk their horns?
449
00:16:56,893 --> 00:16:58,128
You realize
all those horns are just
450
00:16:58,228 --> 00:16:59,462
gonna help Biden stay awake?
451
00:16:59,563 --> 00:17:02,065
State of the State
of the Union. Yeah. Yeah.
452
00:17:02,132 --> 00:17:03,967
-(truck horn honking)
-Oh, it's strong.
453
00:17:04,067 --> 00:17:05,602
State of the Union's strong.
Come on, Jack!
454
00:17:05,702 --> 00:17:07,237
It's so strong.
Super strong, man.
455
00:17:07,337 --> 00:17:09,272
So, yeah,
these trucker protesters
456
00:17:09,372 --> 00:17:11,741
from Canada might be coming
to America,
457
00:17:11,841 --> 00:17:14,811
and if that's the case,
we got to prepare ourselves,
458
00:17:14,911 --> 00:17:17,147
because a lot of things
that are big in Canada--
459
00:17:17,247 --> 00:17:20,450
they blow up much more when
they come to America, you know?
460
00:17:20,550 --> 00:17:22,452
Drake, Justin Bieber,
461
00:17:22,552 --> 00:17:24,487
those cool weed posters
that they got up there.
462
00:17:24,588 --> 00:17:26,223
But I will say this.
463
00:17:26,323 --> 00:17:27,791
The funny thing about
the whole protest is that
464
00:17:27,891 --> 00:17:30,427
when it comes to coronavirus
restrictions in America,
465
00:17:30,527 --> 00:17:31,962
what are they going
to be protesting?
466
00:17:32,095 --> 00:17:34,097
There's not a whole lot left,
right?
467
00:17:34,130 --> 00:17:35,665
I mean,
coronavirus isn't over,
468
00:17:35,765 --> 00:17:37,500
but everyone has already started
to act like it is.
469
00:17:37,601 --> 00:17:40,203
Businesses are open,
schools are in session,
470
00:17:40,303 --> 00:17:43,440
and even the bluest states are
getting rid of mask mandates.
471
00:17:43,540 --> 00:17:48,111
So I guess what I'm saying is,
congratulations, truck drivers!
472
00:17:48,211 --> 00:17:49,646
You did it!
473
00:17:49,746 --> 00:17:53,216
So I guess now there's no need
to block the Super Bowl. Please.
474
00:17:53,316 --> 00:17:55,418
Unless the Rams start winning.
Then you block that shit.
475
00:17:55,518 --> 00:17:57,020
I bet my house
on the Bengals, man.
476
00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:00,223
Block everything. You drive on
the field. You just block them.
477
00:18:00,323 --> 00:18:02,459
All right, when we come back,
Roy Wood Jr. and Ronny Chieng
478
00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:04,561

Welcome back to The Daily Show.
482
00:18:11,201 --> 00:18:12,168
Let's turn to some big news
483
00:18:12,268 --> 00:18:13,536
from the world of sports:
484
00:18:13,636 --> 00:18:15,205
the NBA trade deadline
was today,
485
00:18:15,305 --> 00:18:18,408
and it ended with a flurry
of blockbuster deals.
486
00:18:18,508 --> 00:18:21,744
And I got to say, man,
I love the NBA trade deadline.
487
00:18:21,845 --> 00:18:23,713
Because it just goes to show
that everyone--
488
00:18:23,813 --> 00:18:25,381
even the people
who run sports teams--
489
00:18:25,482 --> 00:18:27,517
wait until the last minute
to do anything.
490
00:18:27,617 --> 00:18:29,152
"Oh, shit!
The deadline is today?
491
00:18:29,252 --> 00:18:31,154
"Uh, trade him, uh, get him.
492
00:18:31,254 --> 00:18:32,622
"We'll give you that guy.
Here's James Harden.
493
00:18:32,722 --> 00:18:34,224
"Just give me anything.
Give me anything for him.
494
00:18:34,324 --> 00:18:36,025
Yeah, I'll take your jacket.
I'll take it!"
495
00:18:36,125 --> 00:18:37,794
But there's so much more sports
out there,
496
00:18:37,894 --> 00:18:39,229
and for the rest of it,
we turn to
497
00:18:39,329 --> 00:18:41,297
Ronny Chieng and Roy Wood Jr.
for another episode of

00:19:05,288 --> 00:19:07,757
like basketball or Wordle.
Didn't know...
508
00:19:07,857 --> 00:19:09,325
What? Come on,
the Winter Olympics have
509
00:19:09,425 --> 00:19:13,296
all kinds of great sports,
like, uh, like skiing
510
00:19:13,396 --> 00:19:16,399
and, uh, cross-country skiing
and alpine skiing
511
00:19:16,499 --> 00:19:20,069
and s-snow skiing.
And, uh, ski snowing,
512
00:19:20,170 --> 00:19:22,038
-and, uh, ski lift riding and...
-Chieng, just stop, stop, stop.
513
00:19:22,105 --> 00:19:24,541
-This is a hate crime.
It's too white. -No. No, Roy.
514
00:19:24,641 --> 00:19:25,842
That's not a hate crime.
515
00:19:25,942 --> 00:19:27,944
What is a hate crime
is what China did
516
00:19:28,044 --> 00:19:29,646
in the opening ceremony.
517
00:19:29,746 --> 00:19:30,880
I mean, just
take a look at this.
518
00:19:31,915 --> 00:19:33,716
NEWSWOMAN: The Winter Olympics
now in full swing
519
00:19:33,817 --> 00:19:36,452
after the ceremonial
start of the games.
520
00:19:36,553 --> 00:19:39,155
Team USA walking
in the parade of nations.
521
00:19:39,255 --> 00:19:41,691
But a controversial
ending to the ceremony:
522
00:19:41,791 --> 00:19:44,394
China choosing a Uighur athlete
as one of the torchbearers
523
00:19:44,494 --> 00:19:46,429
to light
the final Olympic flame.
524
00:19:46,529 --> 00:19:48,832
The host country has been
condemned for its treatment
525
00:19:48,932 --> 00:19:51,234
of the Muslim ethnic minority
in Xinjiang,
526
00:19:51,334 --> 00:19:53,770
leading the U.S.
and other nations
527
00:19:53,870 --> 00:19:56,239
to hold a diplomatic boycott
of the Games.
528
00:19:56,339 --> 00:19:58,341
Damn. Trotting out
the Uighurs like that.
529
00:19:58,441 --> 00:20:01,578
Do you have any idea the size
of the balls that takes?
530
00:20:01,678 --> 00:20:03,079
The Great Wall
ain't the only thing
531
00:20:03,146 --> 00:20:05,715
-you can see from space, Ronny.
-Mm. I don't even get
532
00:20:05,815 --> 00:20:07,817
what the message
was supposed to be here.
533
00:20:07,917 --> 00:20:10,820
China is like, "It's all cool.
See? We let them hold fire."
534
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,388
See? See?
This is the problem, see?
535
00:20:12,489 --> 00:20:14,257
This is why
the Olympics host country
536
00:20:14,357 --> 00:20:16,359
should be a global superpower
that's not mixed up
537
00:20:16,459 --> 00:20:18,561
-in all the allegations
of human rights abuses. -Mm.
538
00:20:18,661 --> 00:20:20,730
-Mm, yes. Exactly.
-Like a good country. You know?
539
00:20:20,830 --> 00:20:23,266
-Like...
-Exactly. Like, uh... Like...
540
00:20:23,366 --> 00:20:25,835
-Like, uh...
-One...
541
00:20:25,935 --> 00:20:27,470
Um...
542
00:20:27,570 --> 00:20:29,272
What's the one...?
543
00:20:29,372 --> 00:20:31,407
-No, not them.
-Uh...
544
00:20:32,709 --> 00:20:34,911
-(exhales) -What...
No, they just got in a war.
545
00:20:35,044 --> 00:20:36,279
Uh...
546
00:20:36,379 --> 00:20:37,714
-ISIS.
-You know what, let's move on.
547
00:20:37,814 --> 00:20:39,182
Let's-let's just move on.
548
00:20:39,282 --> 00:20:41,451
We'll-we'll come up with one.
We'll come up with one.
549
00:20:41,551 --> 00:20:43,186
Because there's still
a pandemic going on.
550
00:20:43,286 --> 00:20:45,155
-That's right.
-And China's COVID crackdowns
551
00:20:45,255 --> 00:20:47,790
are turning the games into
a different kind of spectacle.
552
00:20:47,891 --> 00:20:49,959
NEWSMAN:
Everyone who touches down
553
00:20:50,059 --> 00:20:52,795
in Beijing for the Winter Games
is greeted
554
00:20:52,896 --> 00:20:55,465
by a hazmat suit-wearing
welcoming committee
555
00:20:55,565 --> 00:20:56,733
like this one.
556
00:20:56,833 --> 00:20:58,935
They help you navigate
various checkpoints
557
00:20:59,068 --> 00:21:02,071
and not one but two COVID tests.
558
00:21:02,138 --> 00:21:03,907
NEWSMAN 2: When an athlete
or reporter tests positive,
559
00:21:04,073 --> 00:21:06,409
they're ordered
to put on a full hazmat suit
560
00:21:06,509 --> 00:21:07,977
and taken away by ambulance
561
00:21:08,077 --> 00:21:11,848
to a COVID isolation hotel
45 minutes away.
562
00:21:12,015 --> 00:21:14,417
And the food,
some say, is inedible.
563
00:21:14,517 --> 00:21:18,888
One Russian athlete says she was
given this tray of food for...
564
00:21:26,896 --> 00:21:29,065
-That's what you're feeding
Olympians? -Mm.
565
00:21:29,165 --> 00:21:31,267
How did the chef
even go about preparing that?
566
00:21:31,367 --> 00:21:33,436
Eating food
and then throwing it up again?
567
00:21:33,536 --> 00:21:35,071
-(imitates vomiting)
-No, man.
568
00:21:35,171 --> 00:21:36,473
It's got
all the major food groups.
569
00:21:36,573 --> 00:21:39,943
Unsalted potatoes,
weird meat, red liquid.
570
00:21:40,043 --> 00:21:41,578
I say bon appétit.
571
00:21:41,678 --> 00:21:43,079
What I can't believe
572
00:21:43,179 --> 00:21:45,315
is that they're making them
wear hazmat suits
573
00:21:45,415 --> 00:21:46,716
just for COVID.
574
00:21:46,816 --> 00:21:48,751
Those should be reserved
for more dangerous situations,
575
00:21:48,852 --> 00:21:51,221
like-like handling
flesh-eating bacteria
576
00:21:51,321 --> 00:21:54,457
or-or using a bathroom on a bus.
577
00:21:54,557 --> 00:21:56,593
I totally disagree
with you, Roy.
578
00:21:56,693 --> 00:21:59,229
That's
such an American perspective.
579
00:21:59,329 --> 00:22:02,265
When the rest of the world
gets COVID, they quarantine.
580
00:22:02,365 --> 00:22:05,468
When Americans catch COVID,
they go to Applebee's.
581
00:22:05,568 --> 00:22:07,470
Hey. Hey. Hey.
582
00:22:07,570 --> 00:22:10,406
Bad-mouth America all you want,
but what you're not gonna do
583
00:22:10,507 --> 00:22:12,041
is disrespect Applebee's,
all right?
584
00:22:12,142 --> 00:22:13,676
They got milkshake
egg rolls, bro.
585
00:22:13,776 --> 00:22:15,512
They are so delicious
and decadent.
586
00:22:15,612 --> 00:22:17,580
Whatever.
But enough about the Olympics.
587
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,250
Let's talk about the Olympics
of a sport
588
00:22:20,350 --> 00:22:22,185
that only America plays,
589
00:22:22,285 --> 00:22:23,286
the Super Bowl.
590
00:22:23,386 --> 00:22:25,155
That's what I'm talking about,
Ronny.
591
00:22:25,255 --> 00:22:26,756
Finally, we're talking
about football.
592
00:22:26,856 --> 00:22:29,259
Cincinnati Bengals,
L.A. Rams on Sunday.
593
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,394
And I'm already on layer 83
594
00:22:31,494 --> 00:22:33,930
of my famous
1,400-layer bean dip.
595
00:22:34,030 --> 00:22:35,198
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
596
00:22:35,298 --> 00:22:37,467
I call it the iceberg melter.
597
00:22:37,567 --> 00:22:38,501
What does that mean?
598
00:22:38,601 --> 00:22:40,236
'Cause it causes
so much farting.
599
00:22:40,336 --> 00:22:41,671
It mess with the...
600
00:22:41,771 --> 00:22:43,072
global warming and stuff.
Out your--
601
00:22:43,173 --> 00:22:44,607
-out your ass. You know?
-Okay, that is disgusting.
602
00:22:44,707 --> 00:22:47,110
While you're gambling
with your digestive system,
603
00:22:47,210 --> 00:22:50,847
Americans will be doing
a different kind of gambling.
604
00:22:50,947 --> 00:22:52,582
The gambling kind.
605
00:22:52,682 --> 00:22:54,751
Millions, literally,
of Americans
606
00:22:54,851 --> 00:22:58,288
are expected to place a wager
of some type on the Super Bowl.
607
00:22:58,388 --> 00:23:02,792
NEWSWOMAN: And they'll bet
an eye-popping $7.6 billion,
608
00:23:02,892 --> 00:23:05,261
up 78% from last year.
609
00:23:05,361 --> 00:23:10,266
That dramatic rise attributed
largely to broader access.
610
00:23:10,366 --> 00:23:12,268
Well, since last year,
ten states have launched
611
00:23:12,368 --> 00:23:15,672
legal sports betting, meaning
45 million more Americans
612
00:23:15,772 --> 00:23:19,008
can wager in their home state
than last year.
613
00:23:19,108 --> 00:23:22,378
$7.6 billion
on Super Bowl gambling?
614
00:23:22,479 --> 00:23:24,914
-That could buy you
a lot of NFTs. -Whew.
615
00:23:25,014 --> 00:23:27,617
-Mm-hmm.
-Or maybe just a few NFTs.
616
00:23:27,717 --> 00:23:30,053
I still don't know
what NFTs are.
617
00:23:30,153 --> 00:23:32,922
Here's my thing-- the second
they legalized gambling,
618
00:23:33,022 --> 00:23:34,023
it was everywhere.
619
00:23:34,123 --> 00:23:35,925
Day one, day one.
Everywhere. Gambling.
620
00:23:36,025 --> 00:23:38,261
The websites were ready.
The ads were on my timeline.
621
00:23:38,361 --> 00:23:41,798
So why does every other law
take years to kick in?
622
00:23:41,898 --> 00:23:43,733
Joe Biden,
put DraftKings in charge
623
00:23:43,833 --> 00:23:45,034
of your infrastructure bill.
624
00:23:45,101 --> 00:23:47,337
By March, everybody gonna have
their own bridge.
625
00:23:47,437 --> 00:23:48,805
But, you know, Roy,
626
00:23:48,905 --> 00:23:52,308
the Super Bowl isn't
all about gambling and farting.
627
00:23:52,408 --> 00:23:54,043
I disagree, but go on.
628
00:23:54,077 --> 00:23:57,847
It's also about having
the worst Monday of the year,
629
00:23:57,947 --> 00:24:00,049
unless you live in Ohio.
630
00:24:00,116 --> 00:24:02,619
NEWSMAN: Cincinnati Public
Schools are giving students
631
00:24:02,719 --> 00:24:04,721
the day off after the big game.
632
00:24:04,821 --> 00:24:06,222
The school district tweeted,
633
00:24:06,322 --> 00:24:08,491
"In honor of the Bengals'
first Super Bowl appearance
634
00:24:08,591 --> 00:24:09,993
"since 1988,

CPS will not have school
on Monday, February 14."

"Celebrate what we believe

will be our city's
first Super Bowl victory."
639
00:24:19,169 --> 00:24:21,371
NEWSWOMAN 2: They should just
make it a national holiday.
640
00:24:21,471 --> 00:24:25,408
I love this! And as someone
who grew up in Cincinnati,
641
00:24:25,508 --> 00:24:28,745
I will also be taking
next Monday off.
642
00:24:28,845 --> 00:24:32,148
-You're not from Cincinnati.
-Yeah, I am.
643
00:24:32,248 --> 00:24:34,017
Name one thing
Cincinnati's famous for.
644
00:24:34,083 --> 00:24:37,353
Uh... nothing?
645
00:24:37,453 --> 00:24:39,455
Okay. Lucky guess.
646
00:24:39,556 --> 00:24:41,825
But seriously, this is bullshit.
647
00:24:41,925 --> 00:24:44,327
What is this teaching
the children of Ohio?
648
00:24:44,427 --> 00:24:47,397
You're not supposed to get off
the day after the Super Bowl.
649
00:24:47,497 --> 00:24:49,833
You're supposed
to pretend you have the flu
650
00:24:49,933 --> 00:24:51,267
the day after the Super Bowl.
651
00:24:51,367 --> 00:24:53,303
By the way, Roy, do you want
to come over to my place
652
00:24:53,403 --> 00:24:54,904
to watch the Super Bowl?
653
00:24:55,038 --> 00:24:56,272
Nah, I can't, dawg. I got COVID.
654
00:24:56,372 --> 00:24:58,608
What? Right now?
655
00:24:58,708 --> 00:25:03,046
Of course, yes, right now,
I have COVID. (clears throat)
656
00:25:03,079 --> 00:25:05,114
Well, then what are we doing
here in the studio?
657
00:25:05,215 --> 00:25:06,883
We should be going
to Applebee's!
658
00:25:07,050 --> 00:25:08,985
My man!
That's what I'm talking about.
659
00:25:09,052 --> 00:25:10,720
Let's do it.
Back to you, Trevor.
660
00:25:10,820 --> 00:25:13,056
Milkshake, egg rolls. Trust me,
you're gonna love 'em, brother.
661
00:25:13,156 --> 00:25:14,624
CHIENG: I'm going
to try that shit today!
662
00:25:14,724 --> 00:25:16,125
Thank you so much
for that, guys.
663
00:25:16,226 --> 00:25:18,528
All right, when we come back,
the one and only Questlove
664
00:25:18,628 --> 00:25:20,230
will be joining us right here
in the studio to talk
665
00:25:20,330 --> 00:25:23,166
about his Oscar-nominated film.
Don't go away.
666
00:25:24,668 --> 00:25:25,669
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
667
00:25:25,769 --> 00:25:27,437
My guest tonight
is the legendary drummer
668
00:25:27,537 --> 00:25:28,972
and co-founder of The Roots,
669
00:25:29,072 --> 00:25:31,508
Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson.
He's here to talk about
670
00:25:31,608 --> 00:25:34,377
his award-winning documentary,
Summer of Soul,
671
00:25:34,477 --> 00:25:37,480
which was just
nominated for an Oscar.
672
00:25:37,581 --> 00:25:39,816
MUSA JACKSON: We brought
everything to the park.
673
00:25:39,916 --> 00:25:43,186
You know, the blankets,
the Vaseline for the knees.
674
00:25:43,286 --> 00:25:45,956
It was the ultimate
Black barbecue.
675
00:25:47,357 --> 00:25:50,360
And then you start
to hear music.
676
00:25:50,460 --> 00:25:52,362
-And someone speaking...
-EMCEE: And now,
677
00:25:52,462 --> 00:25:55,732
-for the first time in Harlem--
Soulville, -and you knew
678
00:25:55,832 --> 00:25:59,202
-USA-- ladies and gentlemen,
-it was something bigger.
679
00:25:59,302 --> 00:26:02,672
-The 5th Dimension!
-(cheering)
680
00:26:02,772 --> 00:26:04,207
♪ Don'tcha you hear me ♪
681
00:26:04,307 --> 00:26:06,142
♪ Callin' to ya ♪
682
00:26:06,243 --> 00:26:09,312
♪ Don'tcha you hear me
callin' to ya, baby. ♪
683
00:26:09,412 --> 00:26:11,248
Aw, man, now I want
to watch it again.
684
00:26:11,348 --> 00:26:13,183
-Thank you. -You know? Now I
want to-- Welcome to the show.
685
00:26:13,283 --> 00:26:14,584
-Thank you. Thank you for
having me. -How you doing, sir?
686
00:26:14,684 --> 00:26:17,387
-How have you been? Yeah?
-This is great. I love this.
687
00:26:17,487 --> 00:26:19,256
-Yeah. -There-there are few
people I know who-who have had
688
00:26:19,356 --> 00:26:21,491
more jobs than you
and excel at more jobs than you.
689
00:26:21,591 --> 00:26:23,026
I know many people who've had
more jobs than you,
690
00:26:23,126 --> 00:26:25,395
but for a bad reason. I don't
know many people who've had
691
00:26:25,495 --> 00:26:27,330
as many jobs as you have
and just done well at them.
692
00:26:27,430 --> 00:26:29,499
I was one of those people,
though. Because, at one point,
693
00:26:29,599 --> 00:26:31,902
I thought there was honor in
sort of matching James Brown
694
00:26:32,002 --> 00:26:34,304
in the hardest-working man
in show business.
695
00:26:34,404 --> 00:26:37,774
Um, once I stopped
696
00:26:37,841 --> 00:26:39,342
doing everything,
697
00:26:39,442 --> 00:26:41,778
then a whole new world of magic
698
00:26:41,811 --> 00:26:44,014
opened that I never knew of,
and one of them
699
00:26:44,114 --> 00:26:47,517
is what I call storytelling,
or directing.
700
00:26:47,617 --> 00:26:51,054
Which-- This definitely
wasn't on my...
701
00:26:51,154 --> 00:26:53,623
my, uh, my bingo card
702
00:26:53,790 --> 00:26:55,825
back in 2005.
703
00:26:55,926 --> 00:26:57,093
But if you look at it,
704
00:26:57,193 --> 00:26:59,162
everything I've done
to this point
705
00:26:59,262 --> 00:27:02,198
-is preparing for...
this-this point. -This moment.
706
00:27:02,299 --> 00:27:04,501
'Cause, I mean,
those-those 40 hours could go...
707
00:27:04,601 --> 00:27:06,636
the 40 hours of the footage
708
00:27:06,803 --> 00:27:08,805
that sat in the basement
for five decades...
709
00:27:08,872 --> 00:27:10,807
Yeah, I still don't-- wait a
minute, let's talk about that.
710
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,343
I still don't understand this.
Because nobody has seen
711
00:27:13,443 --> 00:27:15,879
all of these performances,
nobody has seen these moments,
712
00:27:15,979 --> 00:27:18,014
nobody has seen what happened
in Harlem in '69.
713
00:27:18,114 --> 00:27:20,650
I need to start with that. So...
714
00:27:20,817 --> 00:27:24,020
How did you even begin to find
40 hours of footage of--
715
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:25,989
It would be like... It would be
like somebody now finding,
716
00:27:26,089 --> 00:27:29,426
"Hey, I found a-a concert
with Jay-Z and Beyoncé
717
00:27:29,526 --> 00:27:32,028
and, like, Michael Jackson and,
like..." Just, like, everyone.
718
00:27:32,128 --> 00:27:33,763
-Right. -And it was
in a basement somewhere.
719
00:27:33,863 --> 00:27:36,032
I-I directed this film,
and I refused to believe it.
720
00:27:36,132 --> 00:27:37,934
I get word backstage
at The Tonight Show
721
00:27:38,034 --> 00:27:40,470
that these two gentlemen
want to talk to me
722
00:27:40,570 --> 00:27:42,906
about this, uh,
so-called Black Woodstock.
723
00:27:43,006 --> 00:27:44,774
And I was like,
"Black Woodstock?
724
00:27:44,808 --> 00:27:46,610
"And... Well,
I'm thinking of Woodstock,
725
00:27:46,776 --> 00:27:49,079
and you're saying there was
a Black version of that?"
726
00:27:49,179 --> 00:27:51,147
And then I was like,
"Well, wait a minute."
727
00:27:51,248 --> 00:27:53,850
I'd-I'd like to think
that I was a music expert
728
00:27:53,950 --> 00:27:55,085
-or knew things.
-Yeah.
729
00:27:55,185 --> 00:27:56,653
Like, how come I didn't know
730
00:27:56,786 --> 00:27:59,923
that over 300,000 people
gathered in Harlem
731
00:28:00,023 --> 00:28:03,426
for a collective
six-weekend affair
732
00:28:03,526 --> 00:28:05,295
with Stevie Wonder?
Stevie Wonder.
733
00:28:05,395 --> 00:28:07,664
Sly Stone. B.B. King.
Mavis Staples.
734
00:28:07,797 --> 00:28:09,466
Like, how come
I didn't know about this?
735
00:28:09,566 --> 00:28:10,967
And, you know, I was,
like, calling other...
736
00:28:11,067 --> 00:28:12,335
"You heard of Black Woodstock?"
737
00:28:12,435 --> 00:28:13,803
"No, I never heard of it."
738
00:28:13,837 --> 00:28:15,872
-And so... -I don't understand
how that's possible.
739
00:28:15,972 --> 00:28:18,241
I didn't believe it... I didn't
believe that it happened.
740
00:28:18,341 --> 00:28:20,710
So the very first meeting,
I just thought
741
00:28:20,810 --> 00:28:22,712
that these two
were trying to just scam me
742
00:28:22,812 --> 00:28:25,081
-for, like, Tonight Show tickets
or whatever. -(laughs)
743
00:28:25,181 --> 00:28:26,516
That's what I thought it was.
744
00:28:26,616 --> 00:28:30,253
And then they came by
the next week with a hard drive,
745
00:28:30,353 --> 00:28:32,822
and even then I was like,
"Well, the footage must be bad,
746
00:28:32,923 --> 00:28:35,458
-or maybe Stevie had an off day,
or..." -Right, right, right.
747
00:28:35,559 --> 00:28:38,128
And everything I saw was magic.
748
00:28:38,228 --> 00:28:40,030
And...
749
00:28:40,130 --> 00:28:41,765
To this day...
750
00:28:41,831 --> 00:28:43,333
The-the reason why...
751
00:28:43,433 --> 00:28:46,236
Even when I agreed to do this,
752
00:28:46,336 --> 00:28:49,839
at first I was just gonna
compile, like, 17 songs.
753
00:28:49,940 --> 00:28:51,775
-Yes. Right.
-What, like a mixtape.
754
00:28:51,875 --> 00:28:53,243
You know, that sort of thing.
755
00:28:53,343 --> 00:28:55,278
But the curiosity
756
00:28:55,378 --> 00:28:59,216
kept burning me
inside that, like...
757
00:28:59,316 --> 00:29:03,553
The question I asked is,
"Is Black erasure this easy?"
758
00:29:03,653 --> 00:29:05,555
And that's the thing.
I think oftentimes,
759
00:29:05,655 --> 00:29:08,625
when, you know, when we speak
of, like, Black Lives Matter
760
00:29:08,792 --> 00:29:12,262
or, uh, you know,
is that racist or not racist,
761
00:29:12,362 --> 00:29:14,798
I think people think of the most
extreme definition of it.
762
00:29:14,898 --> 00:29:16,399
Like, in their minds,
they're saying,
763
00:29:16,499 --> 00:29:19,469
"Well, I've never once
hung somebody to a cross
764
00:29:19,569 --> 00:29:21,404
-or castrated them or set them
on fire." -Right, right. Mm-hmm.
765
00:29:21,504 --> 00:29:24,541
"So I'm not racist."
But there's other...
766
00:29:24,641 --> 00:29:26,643
There's benign levels of racism,
as well.
767
00:29:26,743 --> 00:29:30,313
And even as sort of the-the...
768
00:29:30,413 --> 00:29:32,949
sort of the dismissal of like,
769
00:29:33,049 --> 00:29:35,085
"Well, we'll pass."
770
00:29:35,185 --> 00:29:37,520
You know? "We're good."
771
00:29:37,621 --> 00:29:39,990
For a lot of people,
their first view of us
772
00:29:40,090 --> 00:29:41,825
was either in blackface
773
00:29:41,925 --> 00:29:45,662
or mired in trouble
or controversy
774
00:29:45,762 --> 00:29:48,031
-or, you know, getting arrested,
getting hosed down. -Mm-hmm.
775
00:29:48,131 --> 00:29:51,535
And...
But Black joy is the component
776
00:29:51,635 --> 00:29:54,905
that shows that we're human.
777
00:29:55,005 --> 00:29:56,573
You know? And...
778
00:29:56,673 --> 00:29:59,342
this could have been
that moment,
779
00:29:59,442 --> 00:30:01,945
had it allowed--
been, you know, the spotlight
780
00:30:02,045 --> 00:30:03,947
that Woodstock had-had gotten.
781
00:30:04,047 --> 00:30:05,849
It was also a crucial time
as well, you know?
782
00:30:05,949 --> 00:30:07,918
It's the summer of '69.
So many things were happening
783
00:30:08,018 --> 00:30:09,152
-in America.
-A lot was changing. Right.
784
00:30:09,252 --> 00:30:10,587
You know, a lot was changing
in the country.
785
00:30:10,687 --> 00:30:12,322
And I remember watching this.
786
00:30:12,422 --> 00:30:13,990
I-I had never seen it.
787
00:30:14,090 --> 00:30:15,325
I had never seen something
like this.
788
00:30:15,425 --> 00:30:17,093
To your point,
a lot of what you see
789
00:30:17,193 --> 00:30:18,595
from that time period
790
00:30:18,695 --> 00:30:21,164
is a-- is a very one-dimensional
view of Black America.
791
00:30:21,264 --> 00:30:23,333
-Mm-hmm. -So it seems like
Black America has only existed
792
00:30:23,433 --> 00:30:25,202
-in strife for a long time.
You know? -Exactly.
793
00:30:25,302 --> 00:30:27,437
And ex-- And-and only strife,
I should mention.
794
00:30:27,537 --> 00:30:29,973
And then you watch this and
you're like, "Man, this is..."
795
00:30:30,073 --> 00:30:31,408
I-I couldn't believe the scale.
796
00:30:31,508 --> 00:30:33,043
I couldn't believe the party
people were havening.
797
00:30:33,143 --> 00:30:34,744
I cou-- Having.
I couldn't believe, like,
798
00:30:34,778 --> 00:30:36,213
who was there
and how they were there,
799
00:30:36,313 --> 00:30:38,181
who was performing
and-and what it signified.
800
00:30:38,281 --> 00:30:40,250
When you--
when you told that story,
801
00:30:40,350 --> 00:30:44,020
what do you think the
significance of this event was?
802
00:30:45,021 --> 00:30:47,857
(sighs) The-the significance
of the event,
803
00:30:47,958 --> 00:30:49,392
at least what I got from it,
804
00:30:49,492 --> 00:30:53,263
was that this was a community
trying to heal.
805
00:30:53,363 --> 00:30:55,632
And so, for me,
806
00:30:55,765 --> 00:30:59,069
shall I say,
a really beautiful...
807
00:30:59,169 --> 00:31:01,805
uh, gander
808
00:31:01,905 --> 00:31:03,473
into...
809
00:31:03,573 --> 00:31:06,643
the-the infinite possibilities
of what a future is.
810
00:31:06,776 --> 00:31:08,778
You're seeing Stevie Wonder
811
00:31:08,812 --> 00:31:12,249
a mere two years
before his-his genius period.
812
00:31:12,349 --> 00:31:15,385
You're seeing Nina Simone give
one of her very first
813
00:31:15,485 --> 00:31:17,787
non-jazz, non-love song,
814
00:31:17,821 --> 00:31:20,257
non-Broadway musical performance
815
00:31:20,357 --> 00:31:23,493
and, like, Nina Simone
stepping into her activism shoes
816
00:31:23,593 --> 00:31:24,561
in real time.
817
00:31:24,728 --> 00:31:26,863
So you're seeing
all these artists.
818
00:31:26,963 --> 00:31:29,366
But, really, you're
also just watching the people.
819
00:31:29,466 --> 00:31:31,034
And that's the thing,
like, when I say, like,
820
00:31:31,134 --> 00:31:32,469
we were robbed of that,
821
00:31:32,569 --> 00:31:35,405
not just as Black people
but the world to see,
822
00:31:35,505 --> 00:31:37,741
you know,
"Oh, families just like mine.
823
00:31:37,841 --> 00:31:39,976
-Music just like mine. Happiness
just like..." -Yeah. Yeah.
824
00:31:40,076 --> 00:31:43,113
And that's...
and that's sort of the...
825
00:31:43,213 --> 00:31:47,017
that's sort of
the-the missing fiber element
826
00:31:47,117 --> 00:31:49,085
in telling our stories
from the civil rights period
827
00:31:49,185 --> 00:31:50,887
-that people don't know.
-Right, right, right.
828
00:31:50,987 --> 00:31:52,455
You look at America's story
over and over.
829
00:31:52,556 --> 00:31:54,057
It's such a giant country,
you know,
830
00:31:54,157 --> 00:31:56,960
where, if people don't have
an interaction
831
00:31:57,060 --> 00:32:00,130
with the people on the ground...
You don't know a Black person.
832
00:32:00,230 --> 00:32:01,765
You don't meet
an Hispanic person.
833
00:32:01,865 --> 00:32:03,500
-You don't know... Do you get
what I'm saying? -Right. Yeah.
834
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,168
-You can get into where... -Just
knowing someone at your job
835
00:32:05,268 --> 00:32:06,336
-doesn't make you... Right.
-Right, right.
836
00:32:06,436 --> 00:32:07,671
And maybe you don't even.
837
00:32:07,771 --> 00:32:09,339
That's what I loved
about this documentary--
838
00:32:09,439 --> 00:32:10,874
I think
it's to what you're saying--
839
00:32:10,974 --> 00:32:14,544
is it showed a joy, it showed
a normality, it showed a...
840
00:32:14,644 --> 00:32:16,980
There's just a human element
841
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,150
that I didn't even know
I was looking for.
842
00:32:20,250 --> 00:32:22,219
Like, because I didn't know
that this was going
843
00:32:22,319 --> 00:32:25,922
to invoke some sort of emotion
out of Marilyn McCoo
844
00:32:26,022 --> 00:32:27,424
-as she's watching herself.
-Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
845
00:32:27,524 --> 00:32:29,259
-I'm thinking like,
"You hosted Solid Gold." -Right.
846
00:32:29,359 --> 00:32:32,262
"How do you remember this
very specific show
847
00:32:32,362 --> 00:32:33,763
back then?"
But, you know, when she started
848
00:32:33,863 --> 00:32:37,067
-to really open up
about code-switching... -Yes.
849
00:32:37,167 --> 00:32:40,103
...and, you know, something that
every Black person relates to
850
00:32:40,203 --> 00:32:42,906
on the professional job,
and even I needed to see that.
851
00:32:43,006 --> 00:32:46,109
Like, wow. Even when you're
the number-one singing group
852
00:32:46,209 --> 00:32:48,311
in the world, like,
you still have to code-switch,
853
00:32:48,411 --> 00:32:50,013
and you still have
to always be on guard,
854
00:32:50,113 --> 00:32:52,048
and you're never comfortable,
and, you know,
855
00:32:52,148 --> 00:32:56,253
you have longings
for just love from your people.
856
00:32:56,353 --> 00:32:57,787
-Right.
-Yeah.
857
00:32:57,888 --> 00:32:59,856
You just want to be accepted.
I-I won't lie.
858
00:32:59,956 --> 00:33:03,526
I think...
I think you deserve every award
859
00:33:03,627 --> 00:33:07,130
that this film has won and is
going to win because it's...
860
00:33:07,230 --> 00:33:08,765
-Thank you, Trevor.
-You know what it is, man.
861
00:33:08,865 --> 00:33:10,800
-It's telling a story from
history that is lost. -Mm-hmm.
862
00:33:10,901 --> 00:33:13,270
It's sharing a joy from history
that is... that is lost.
863
00:33:13,370 --> 00:33:15,071
And I think it's something
that people need today
864
00:33:15,171 --> 00:33:17,307
where you go like, "Hey,
you know, yeah, we can fight,
865
00:33:17,407 --> 00:33:18,975
"yeah, we can argue, yeah,
we can... we can deal with
866
00:33:19,075 --> 00:33:20,310
-what we need to deal with."
-Mm-hmm.
867
00:33:20,410 --> 00:33:21,645
"But at the end of the day,
don't forget joy,
868
00:33:21,778 --> 00:33:23,547
because that's what makes us
human."
869
00:33:23,713 --> 00:33:25,181
So thank you, man.
Thank you for being here.
870
00:33:25,282 --> 00:33:26,583
-Well, thank you for having me.
-Thank you for the documentary.
871
00:33:26,716 --> 00:33:28,451
-Thank you. -And now,
I'm gonna watch it again.
872
00:33:28,552 --> 00:33:29,819
I watched the clip,
and now, I'm back into it.
873
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,254
Let's go watch right now
during the commercial break.
874
00:33:31,354 --> 00:33:32,923
Let's do it right now. Let's do
it right now. All right.
875
00:33:33,023 --> 00:33:35,125
Summer of Soul is currently
streaming on Hulu and Disney+,
876
00:33:35,225 --> 00:33:37,294
and it will make
its broadcast television debut
877
00:33:37,394 --> 00:33:39,829
-February 20 on ABC.
-(whoops)
878
00:33:39,930 --> 00:33:41,197
We're going
to take a quick break,
879
00:33:41,298 --> 00:33:42,732
but we'll be right back
after this.
880
00:33:45,773 --> 00:33:47,075
Well, that's our show
for tonight, but before we go,
881
00:33:47,175 --> 00:33:49,043
please consider supporting
Young, Black & Lit.
882
00:33:49,143 --> 00:33:50,511
They're an organization
that sources
883
00:33:50,612 --> 00:33:53,615
and distributes new books
featuring Black main characters
884
00:33:53,715 --> 00:33:55,950
to elementary and middle schools
at no cost.
885
00:33:56,050 --> 00:33:58,319
So, if you want to support them
in their work promoting access
886
00:33:58,419 --> 00:34:01,189
to children's books that reflect
children's experiences
887
00:34:01,289 --> 00:34:04,125
who are Black, then please
donate at the link below.
888
00:34:04,225 --> 00:34:07,095
Until next time, stay safe
out there, get your vaccine.
889
00:34:07,195 --> 00:34:10,031
And remember-- don't flush
your sensitive documents
890
00:34:10,131 --> 00:34:11,432
down the toilet.
891
00:34:11,532 --> 00:34:15,370
First eat them, digest them,
then flush them down.
892
00:34:15,470 --> 00:34:17,906
Now here it is--
Your Moment of Zen.
893
00:34:18,006 --> 00:34:21,042
People are flushing toilets
ten times, 15 times,
894
00:34:21,142 --> 00:34:22,977
as opposed to once.
895
00:34:23,077 --> 00:34:24,913
They end up using more water.
896
00:34:25,013 --> 00:34:27,916
Ten times, right? Ten times.
Bah, bomp.
897
00:34:28,016 --> 00:34:31,519
Not me. Of course, not me,
but you, you.
898
00:34:31,619 --> 00:34:33,922
'Cause it's sort of gross
to talk about, right?
899
00:34:34,022 --> 00:34:36,491
So, I won't...
I won't talk about the fact
900
00:34:36,591 --> 00:34:39,027
that people have
to flush their toilet 15 times.
901
00:34:39,127 --> 00:34:40,194
-(cheering)
-Okay.
902
00:34:40,295 --> 00:34:41,930
We won't talk about toilets,
903
00:34:42,030 --> 00:34:44,866
but you know
that's a ding, ding, ding,
904
00:34:44,966 --> 00:34:48,136
10, 15, but we don't talk
about that.
905
00:34:48,236 --> 00:34:51,739
(toilet flushing)
