1
00:00:01,011 --> 00:00:02,746
Would you fight?
2
00:00:02,846 --> 00:00:05,248
Nobody, nobody here.
3
00:00:05,348 --> 00:00:07,183
I don't know what I would do.
4
00:00:07,284 --> 00:00:08,852
I think everyone thinks
they know what they'd do,
5
00:00:08,952 --> 00:00:10,520
but I don't know
what I would do,
6
00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:13,690
if they said that war is coming,
and then I have to fight.
7
00:00:13,790 --> 00:00:16,126
I think I would be pretty good
in war, though.
8
00:00:16,226 --> 00:00:18,762
Not, like, fighting.
There's other parts of war
9
00:00:18,862 --> 00:00:20,864
that you can also
participate in.
10
00:00:20,964 --> 00:00:23,466
I would be good at shouting
that the people are coming.
11
00:00:23,567 --> 00:00:25,835
I think that would be my job
if I was fighting in a war.
12
00:00:25,936 --> 00:00:27,571
I would be the person
who rides a horse
13
00:00:27,671 --> 00:00:29,105
from one place to the next
telling people
14
00:00:29,205 --> 00:00:30,473
the people are coming.
15
00:00:30,574 --> 00:00:31,841
Then they'd be like,
"Are we gonna fight?"
16
00:00:31,942 --> 00:00:33,510
I'm like, "Yeah,
you-you guys should fight.
17
00:00:33,610 --> 00:00:36,379
I'm gonna go tell the next town
that the war is coming."
18
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:37,814
And then I'd just keep riding,
19
00:00:37,914 --> 00:00:39,115
telling everyone
that I told everyone.
20
00:00:39,216 --> 00:00:41,184
Then I'm as far away
from the war as possible,
21
00:00:41,284 --> 00:00:43,119
but I'm also, like, a hero,
'cause they go,
22
00:00:43,220 --> 00:00:46,389
"He rode, and he told us."
Very important part of the job.
23
00:00:46,489 --> 00:00:48,458
Everyone takes that for granted.
24
00:00:48,558 --> 00:00:51,494
So if you guys need someone to
warn you that a war is coming,
25
00:00:51,595 --> 00:00:53,129
I got your backs.
26
00:00:53,230 --> 00:00:55,565
The furthest back possible.
27
00:00:55,665 --> 00:00:58,201
ANNOUNCER: Coming to you
from the heart of Times Square
28
00:00:58,301 --> 00:01:01,538

the only city in America, it's
29
00:01:01,638 --> 00:01:03,673
The Daily Show.
30
00:01:03,773 --> 00:01:06,910
Tonight-- insane in Ukraine,
31
00:01:07,010 --> 00:01:09,012
the world unfriends Russia,
32
00:01:09,112 --> 00:01:11,481
and Samantha Power.
33
00:01:11,581 --> 00:01:16,686
This is
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
34
00:01:16,786 --> 00:01:17,954
Hey,
what's going on, everybody?
35
00:01:18,121 --> 00:01:19,923
welcome to The Daily Show.
I'm Trevor Noah.
36
00:01:20,023 --> 00:01:22,459
Let's jump straight
into the big news,
37
00:01:22,559 --> 00:01:24,928
which is the only one
that anybody's talking about.
38
00:01:25,028 --> 00:01:28,632
It's Russia's invasion
of Ukraine.
39
00:01:28,732 --> 00:01:30,133
And so, on today's episode,
40
00:01:30,166 --> 00:01:31,534
that's all we're going
to be covering.
41
00:01:31,635 --> 00:01:34,804
The invasion,
the international resistance,
42
00:01:34,905 --> 00:01:37,207
Ukraine's resistance,
which has been amazing.
43
00:01:37,307 --> 00:01:40,277
And then, our guest on the show
actually serves
44
00:01:40,377 --> 00:01:42,279
on President Biden's
Security Council
45
00:01:42,379 --> 00:01:44,781
and has dealt
with Russia directly.
46
00:01:44,881 --> 00:01:47,284
So everything on the show today
is all about Russia's invasion.
47
00:01:47,384 --> 00:01:50,654
In many ways, Russia has invaded
our show, so let's do this.
48
00:01:50,754 --> 00:01:52,722
It has been four days
49
00:01:52,822 --> 00:01:55,659
since Russian troops rolled
into neighboring Ukraine,
50
00:01:55,759 --> 00:01:58,194
touching off the largest
European conflict
51
00:01:58,295 --> 00:01:59,829
since World War II,
52
00:01:59,930 --> 00:02:01,464
or when Harry and Meghan
left the royals.
53
00:02:01,565 --> 00:02:03,099
So let's do it, people.
54
00:02:03,166 --> 00:02:04,834
Let's catch up
on all the latest developments
55
00:02:04,935 --> 00:02:07,771
in our newest segment,
"The War in Ukraine."
56
00:02:07,871 --> 00:02:10,106
♪ ♪
57
00:02:13,677 --> 00:02:15,845
As the pandemic started
winding down,
58
00:02:15,946 --> 00:02:17,447
people all across the world
have been thinking
59
00:02:17,547 --> 00:02:20,584
about what they're going to do
as the world opens up, you know?
60
00:02:20,684 --> 00:02:24,654
Spend more time with family,
find a better work-life balance,
61
00:02:24,754 --> 00:02:27,958
stitch all your old masks
together into a giant mask,
62
00:02:28,124 --> 00:02:30,026
and then use that
as a comfort blanket.
63
00:02:30,126 --> 00:02:33,496
But Vladimir Putin clearly
had very different
64
00:02:33,597 --> 00:02:37,734
post-pandemic plans--
invading a sovereign country.
65
00:02:37,834 --> 00:02:39,636
And you know, for years,
people have said
66
00:02:39,736 --> 00:02:41,905
that Russia
might invade Ukraine
67
00:02:42,005 --> 00:02:43,840
because it's always been
Putin's wet dream
68
00:02:43,940 --> 00:02:46,810
to reunite the Soviet Union,
you know?
69
00:02:46,910 --> 00:02:48,411
Sort of the same way
Disney wants
70
00:02:48,511 --> 00:02:51,147
to tie all
of its franchises together.
71
00:02:51,248 --> 00:02:53,149
Yeah, now Mickey
is fighting Thanos?
72
00:02:53,216 --> 00:02:56,019
I mean, it's weird...
but profitable.
73
00:02:56,152 --> 00:02:58,321
So, yeah,
Putin has done the unthinkable.
74
00:02:58,421 --> 00:03:01,791
And in response, almost
every nation around the world
75
00:03:01,892 --> 00:03:05,128
has gone "Yo, my man,
that is not cool."
76
00:03:05,228 --> 00:03:07,764
Much of the world is
trying to tighten its grip
77
00:03:07,864 --> 00:03:11,735
around Russia to get Vladimir
Putin to back off Ukraine.
78
00:03:11,835 --> 00:03:14,170
NEWSMAN: For the first
time ever, the EU will
79
00:03:14,271 --> 00:03:17,974
finance the purchase and
delivery of weapons to Ukraine.
80
00:03:18,108 --> 00:03:21,344
Similarly, the United States,
for the first time, has approved
81
00:03:21,444 --> 00:03:24,180
the direct delivery of
Stinger missiles to Ukraine
82
00:03:24,281 --> 00:03:26,983
as part of a package
approved by the White House.
83
00:03:27,117 --> 00:03:30,320
That decision came on the heels
of Germany's announcement
84
00:03:30,420 --> 00:03:32,556
that it will send
500 Stinger missiles and
85
00:03:32,656 --> 00:03:36,726
other weapons and supplies to
Ukraine. This was a historic
86
00:03:36,826 --> 00:03:39,663
break from Germany's post-World
War II foreign policy.
87
00:03:39,763 --> 00:03:42,232
NEWSMAN 2: The president is
joining with European allies by
88
00:03:42,332 --> 00:03:44,601
kicking most Russian
banks out of SWIFT,
89
00:03:44,701 --> 00:03:47,304
an international banking
messaging system that
90
00:03:47,404 --> 00:03:49,472
makes global
transactions easier.
91
00:03:49,573 --> 00:03:52,475
New sanctions will also target
Russia's Central Bank,
92
00:03:52,576 --> 00:03:54,878
and allies are beginning to
target Russian oligarchs with
93
00:03:54,978 --> 00:03:58,181
ties to Putin, who shield his
wealth in offshore accounts.
94
00:03:58,281 --> 00:04:00,717
NEWSWOMAN: Russian planes and
private jets from oligarchs
95
00:04:00,817 --> 00:04:03,119
can no longer fly over
dozens of countries.
96
00:04:03,220 --> 00:04:06,122
The European Union and Canada
are banning the flights
97
00:04:06,223 --> 00:04:07,490
from their airspace.
98
00:04:07,591 --> 00:04:10,961
Air France also
just announced that it has
99
00:04:11,094 --> 00:04:13,096
suspended
service from Russia.
100
00:04:13,196 --> 00:04:14,564
Yeah, that's right.
101
00:04:14,664 --> 00:04:18,301
They're cutting off banking,
they're arming their enemies,
102
00:04:18,401 --> 00:04:19,703
and on top of that,
103
00:04:19,803 --> 00:04:23,273
airlines are stopping
flights to and from Russia,
104
00:04:23,373 --> 00:04:26,309
which, in my opinion, might be
one of the worst things.
105
00:04:26,409 --> 00:04:28,111
Because, I mean, the best part
about going to Russia
106
00:04:28,144 --> 00:04:29,846
is that you can
fly out of Russia.
107
00:04:29,946 --> 00:04:31,181
Now they don't even have that.
And If there's one thing
108
00:04:31,281 --> 00:04:33,383
that tells you how big
these sanctions are,
109
00:04:33,483 --> 00:04:36,019
it's that the Swiss
have gotten involved.
110
00:04:36,119 --> 00:04:37,921
Like, you understand
how big that is, right?
111
00:04:38,021 --> 00:04:41,424
The Swiss don't get
involved in anything.
112
00:04:41,524 --> 00:04:42,659
Anything!
113
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:44,628
The Swiss don't
get involved in war.
114
00:04:44,728 --> 00:04:46,796
They don't get
involved in alliances.
115
00:04:46,897 --> 00:04:49,799
My dad didn't get involved
in my life... (whimpers)
116
00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:51,801
I would ask him to hug
me, and he'd tell me
117
00:04:51,902 --> 00:04:54,137
that his official policy
was to stay neutral.
118
00:04:58,408 --> 00:05:00,143
I mean, think about it.
Think about this for a moment.
119
00:05:00,243 --> 00:05:03,079
Putin's move is so crazy
120
00:05:03,179 --> 00:05:05,081
that Germany is like,
121
00:05:05,115 --> 00:05:06,950
"It's time for us as Germany
122
00:05:07,083 --> 00:05:09,085
to rebuild our military!"
123
00:05:09,152 --> 00:05:12,122
And the world is like,
"Yeah! I hope."
124
00:05:12,222 --> 00:05:14,391
Now, beyond
all the blocking flights
125
00:05:14,491 --> 00:05:16,560
and arming Ukraine,
one of the biggest moves
126
00:05:16,660 --> 00:05:18,762
that Europe and America
are taking right now
127
00:05:18,862 --> 00:05:22,399
is cutting Russia off
of SWIFT, right?
128
00:05:22,499 --> 00:05:24,134
Which is huge. Which is huge.
129
00:05:24,234 --> 00:05:26,169
Like, we're talking no Folklore.
130
00:05:26,269 --> 00:05:27,637
No 1989.
131
00:05:27,737 --> 00:05:30,874
Not even the short version
of "All Too Well," which...
132
00:05:30,974 --> 00:05:32,142
I'm sorry, what?
133
00:05:32,242 --> 00:05:35,245
Oh, it's a different SWIFT.
Wh-What is...
134
00:05:35,345 --> 00:05:36,880
Oh, it's an international
banking system
135
00:05:36,980 --> 00:05:38,715
that verifies transactions
across the globe.
136
00:05:38,815 --> 00:05:40,383
Oh.
137
00:05:40,483 --> 00:05:42,385
Well, I mean, they should
probably change their name,
138
00:05:42,485 --> 00:05:44,321
'cause that's confusing,
you know?
139
00:05:44,421 --> 00:05:47,457
Anyway, what Russia has done
has gotten the world so riled up
140
00:05:47,557 --> 00:05:48,558
that it's not just
the governments
141
00:05:48,658 --> 00:05:49,626
that are responding to this war.
142
00:05:49,726 --> 00:05:51,661
No, everyone around the world
143
00:05:51,761 --> 00:05:54,231
is finding their own way
to show Putin
144
00:05:54,331 --> 00:05:56,299
that he's an asshole.

00:07:04,334 --> 00:07:05,735
And in case
you're wondering, yes,
175
00:07:05,835 --> 00:07:08,071
he will no longer be allowed
to host this year's Oscars.
176
00:07:08,171 --> 00:07:09,472
Which I was kind of
looking forward to.
177
00:07:09,573 --> 00:07:10,840
It was gonna be interesting.
178
00:07:10,941 --> 00:07:12,509
Now, I know a lot of people
out there are wondering.
179
00:07:12,609 --> 00:07:14,110
They're like,
"Aw, man, who cares?
180
00:07:14,211 --> 00:07:15,812
"I mean, they're having
their economy destroyed.
181
00:07:15,912 --> 00:07:17,414
"Who cares if people
are pouring out vodka?
182
00:07:17,514 --> 00:07:18,748
Who cares if...?" But, people,
183
00:07:18,848 --> 00:07:20,750
this actually makes
a difference, all right?
184
00:07:20,850 --> 00:07:22,485
South Africa
had sanctions on it,
185
00:07:22,586 --> 00:07:24,621
which was really bad back
in the day during the apartheid.
186
00:07:24,721 --> 00:07:26,990
But it was the collective idea
around the world
187
00:07:27,090 --> 00:07:28,892
that people
were not for what was happening
188
00:07:28,992 --> 00:07:31,428
that sort of spurred
a lot of the change.
189
00:07:31,528 --> 00:07:33,496
And don't forget,
oftentimes in life,
190
00:07:33,597 --> 00:07:35,665
it's the little things
that hurt the most.
191
00:07:35,765 --> 00:07:37,667
You think they're small,
but they get to you.
192
00:07:37,767 --> 00:07:39,369
You know?
Like, think of it this way.
193
00:07:39,469 --> 00:07:41,137
Would you rather be shot
194
00:07:41,238 --> 00:07:44,174
or blocked by your ex? Hmm?
195
00:07:44,274 --> 00:07:45,909
Oh, and just by the way,
196
00:07:46,009 --> 00:07:48,812
now that Russia is not gonna be
playing in the World Cup,
197
00:07:48,912 --> 00:07:52,515
I mean, that means there's
gonna be an open spot, right?
198
00:07:52,616 --> 00:07:53,950
I'm just saying, FIFA,
199
00:07:54,117 --> 00:07:56,119
if you want to hook
South Africa up with that spot,
200
00:07:56,152 --> 00:07:58,655
you know, we've never invaded
another country.
201
00:07:58,755 --> 00:08:01,424
(chuckles): You know,
we barely even have a military.
202
00:08:01,524 --> 00:08:04,594
So if you're interested,
shoot me a DM. (kisses)
203
00:08:04,694 --> 00:08:06,296
I see you, FIFA.
204
00:08:06,396 --> 00:08:10,267
So, practically every
democracy in the world right now
205
00:08:10,367 --> 00:08:13,270
is coming down hard
against Russia.
206
00:08:13,370 --> 00:08:15,071
And it actually might
be having an effect,
207
00:08:15,171 --> 00:08:17,240
because just this morning
the two countries
208
00:08:17,340 --> 00:08:21,244
held five hours of peace talks,
which is good.
209
00:08:21,344 --> 00:08:24,447
Although Russia did continue
bombing Ukrainian cities
210
00:08:24,548 --> 00:08:26,216
the whole time that the peace
talks were happening,
211
00:08:26,316 --> 00:08:27,817
which is not a good sign.
212
00:08:27,918 --> 00:08:30,687
I mean, bombing a country
during your peace talks
213
00:08:30,787 --> 00:08:33,456
is like bringing your side chick
to couples therapy.
214
00:08:33,557 --> 00:08:35,392
Doesn't exactly
inspire confidence.
215
00:08:35,492 --> 00:08:36,793
Yeah, she's the problem.
216
00:08:36,893 --> 00:08:37,827
But don't get it twisted--
217
00:08:37,928 --> 00:08:39,362
Russia is feeling the effects
218
00:08:39,462 --> 00:08:40,730
of the world clamping down,
219
00:08:40,830 --> 00:08:43,767
especially the economic affects.
220
00:08:43,867 --> 00:08:45,135
NEWSWOMAN: The value
of the Russian ruble
221
00:08:45,235 --> 00:08:47,904
hitting an all-time low
this morning.
222
00:08:48,004 --> 00:08:49,839
The first business day
since harsh sanctions
223
00:08:49,940 --> 00:08:54,110
were imposed against Moscow
for waging war on Ukraine.
224
00:08:54,211 --> 00:08:57,447
Now European operations
for one state-owned Russian bank
225
00:08:57,547 --> 00:09:00,083
are already facing
bankruptcy, saying
226
00:09:00,183 --> 00:09:03,520
in a press release, they're
"failing or likely to fail."
227
00:09:03,620 --> 00:09:06,656
NEWSWOMAN 2: Long lines
of Russians waiting at ATMs
228
00:09:06,756 --> 00:09:09,359
after days
of punishing sanctions
229
00:09:09,459 --> 00:09:11,962
levied on Moscow by the West.
230
00:09:12,062 --> 00:09:14,664
Many Russians are worried
their bank cards
231
00:09:14,764 --> 00:09:18,868
will stop working or that banks
will limit cash withdrawals.
232
00:09:18,969 --> 00:09:21,104
Well, damn.
If Putin's goal was
233
00:09:21,204 --> 00:09:23,540
to bring back the glory days
of the Soviet Union,
234
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,343
people waiting hours in long
lines is definitely a start.
235
00:09:26,443 --> 00:09:28,078
And, please, don't get me wrong,
don't get me wrong.
236
00:09:28,178 --> 00:09:30,981
I-I don't like the fact
that ordinary Russians
237
00:09:31,081 --> 00:09:32,449
are suffering for
what Putin is doing.
238
00:09:32,549 --> 00:09:34,284
I don't like that.
239
00:09:34,384 --> 00:09:36,786
But then again, if they didn't
want him as president,
240
00:09:36,887 --> 00:09:40,991
they shouldn't have reelected
him with 107% of the vote.
241
00:09:41,091 --> 00:09:43,860
But the big question now
is what will Putin do
242
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,096
in the face
of a cratering economy
243
00:09:46,162 --> 00:09:49,666
and a war that is not as easy
as he probably wanted?
244
00:09:49,766 --> 00:09:51,935
Well, apparently his plan
245
00:09:52,102 --> 00:09:55,338
is to make things
a whole lot worse.
246
00:09:55,438 --> 00:09:58,541
Ukraine, in a dramatic
escalation in the crisis there,
247
00:09:58,642 --> 00:10:01,311
Russia's military confirms
this morning that the country's
248
00:10:01,411 --> 00:10:05,048
nuclear forces have indeed
been put on high alert.
249
00:10:05,148 --> 00:10:07,517
President Vladimir Putin
calls it a response to
250
00:10:07,617 --> 00:10:10,353
"aggressive statements
by NATO leaders."
251
00:10:10,453 --> 00:10:12,622
NEWSMAN: Mr. Putin is becoming
even more desperate.
252
00:10:12,722 --> 00:10:14,691
Uh, it's showing that
his military progress
253
00:10:14,791 --> 00:10:17,127
is failing on the ground,
that he has to resort
254
00:10:17,227 --> 00:10:19,996
to this kind of threat. He is
pushing his inner circle away.
255
00:10:20,096 --> 00:10:23,300
We saw him publicly humiliating
his closest advisors.
256
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,302
That's what's most concerning.
Nobody there
257
00:10:25,402 --> 00:10:27,837
to prevent
a catastrophic misstep.
258
00:10:27,938 --> 00:10:30,040
Aw, man, this is not good.
259
00:10:30,140 --> 00:10:32,342
Putin is threatening
260
00:10:32,442 --> 00:10:34,211
by "activating" his nuclear...
261
00:10:34,311 --> 00:10:36,513
Wh-what does that even mean?
262
00:10:36,613 --> 00:10:38,281
He's like,
"Getting my nuclear team ready."
263
00:10:38,381 --> 00:10:40,650
For what?
For what, Putin?
264
00:10:40,750 --> 00:10:42,152
You realize
this is not a good thing.
265
00:10:42,252 --> 00:10:43,553
Putin is going nuclear
266
00:10:43,653 --> 00:10:46,089
and there's no one there
to stop him?
267
00:10:46,189 --> 00:10:49,159
See, people? This is why
every crazy world leader
268
00:10:49,259 --> 00:10:51,828
needs a pasty son-in-law
by his side.
269
00:10:51,928 --> 00:10:54,297
Yeah. Keeps them in check.
270
00:10:54,397 --> 00:10:55,865
'Cause no father-in-law
wants to act the fool
271
00:10:55,966 --> 00:10:58,501
in front of the man who's
banging his daughter, you know?
272
00:10:58,602 --> 00:11:00,704
Now, before you panic,
before you panic,
273
00:11:00,804 --> 00:11:02,906
I know they said "nuclear"
and I know they said "Putin,"
274
00:11:03,006 --> 00:11:04,407
but please take a breath.
275
00:11:04,507 --> 00:11:07,777
Yes, the threat of nuclear
annihilation may have increased.
276
00:11:07,878 --> 00:11:10,747
Yes, we may be on the brink
of World War III.
277
00:11:10,847 --> 00:11:12,883
And, yes, Europe is once again
at the mercy
278
00:11:12,983 --> 00:11:14,684
of one power-hungry dictator.
279
00:11:14,784 --> 00:11:17,187
But on the bright side...
280
00:11:17,287 --> 00:11:19,155
when was the last time
you thought about COVID?
281
00:11:19,256 --> 00:11:20,590
Huh?
282
00:11:22,492 --> 00:11:23,827
Huh?
283
00:11:25,462 --> 00:11:27,464
But still, man,
this invasion of Ukraine
284
00:11:27,564 --> 00:11:29,399
has put the world on edge.
285
00:11:29,499 --> 00:11:33,136
And it has amounted to one
of the most dramatic weeks
286
00:11:33,169 --> 00:11:34,271
in a really long time.
287
00:11:34,371 --> 00:11:35,639
Like, I don't know about you,
288
00:11:35,739 --> 00:11:39,009
but I have been glued to the TV
all weekend,
289
00:11:39,142 --> 00:11:41,678
watching all the news,
everything.
290
00:11:41,778 --> 00:11:44,147
And beyond the war itself-- I
will say this, I will say this--
291
00:11:44,247 --> 00:11:45,782
beyond the war,
292
00:11:45,882 --> 00:11:48,151
there's a really interesting
thing that I learned,
293
00:11:48,218 --> 00:11:50,854
and that is
a lot of people on TV
294
00:11:50,954 --> 00:11:53,857
didn't expect a war like this
to happen in,
295
00:11:53,957 --> 00:11:55,158
let's say,
296
00:11:55,225 --> 00:11:56,993
certain neighborhoods.
297
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,796
This is not a developing
third world nation.
298
00:11:59,896 --> 00:12:01,197
This is Europe.
299
00:12:01,298 --> 00:12:03,533
NEWSMAN: These are prosperous
middle-class people.
300
00:12:03,633 --> 00:12:05,101
These are not people
trying to get away
301
00:12:05,168 --> 00:12:07,237
from areas in North Africa.
302
00:12:07,337 --> 00:12:10,373
They look like
any European family
303
00:12:10,473 --> 00:12:12,642
that you would live
next door to.
304
00:12:12,742 --> 00:12:14,911
What could be a difference here
from other conflicts,
305
00:12:15,011 --> 00:12:17,247
you know, that could seem
very far away, you know,
306
00:12:17,347 --> 00:12:19,349
in Africa or Middle East
or whatever, I mean,
307
00:12:19,449 --> 00:12:23,019
these are Europeans that
we're seeing, uh, being killed.
308
00:12:23,119 --> 00:12:25,822
This isn't a place,
with all due respect,
309
00:12:25,922 --> 00:12:29,025
u-um, you know,
like Iraq or Afghanistan.
310
00:12:29,125 --> 00:12:31,494
You know, this is
a relatively civilized,
311
00:12:31,595 --> 00:12:33,129
uh, relatively European--
312
00:12:33,196 --> 00:12:35,332
I have to choose those words
carefully, too--
313
00:12:35,432 --> 00:12:37,334
uh, city
where you wouldn't expect that
314
00:12:37,434 --> 00:12:39,402
or hope
that it's going to happen.
315
00:12:39,502 --> 00:12:40,904
Wow.
316
00:12:41,004 --> 00:12:44,274
That was you
choosing your words carefully?
317
00:12:44,374 --> 00:12:46,443
That was the careful version?
318
00:12:46,543 --> 00:12:47,711
So what were you gonna say
319
00:12:47,811 --> 00:12:49,446
if you weren't choosing
your words carefully?
320
00:12:49,546 --> 00:12:51,715
"I just hope the next time
this happens
321
00:12:51,815 --> 00:12:55,318
it happens back in the
Middle East where it belongs."
322
00:12:55,418 --> 00:12:56,953
Here's the thing, people.
Here's the thing.
323
00:12:57,053 --> 00:12:59,689
Beyond the racism, right? Like,
let's-let's forget the racism.
324
00:12:59,789 --> 00:13:01,825
Oh, how I wish we could forget
about the racism.
325
00:13:01,925 --> 00:13:03,960
You do realize that,
until very recently,
326
00:13:04,094 --> 00:13:05,996
fighting crazy wars
was Europe's thing.
327
00:13:06,096 --> 00:13:08,498
That was Europe's entire thing.
328
00:13:08,598 --> 00:13:10,300
That's all of European history.
329
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,570
They even had something called
the Hundred Years' War.
330
00:13:13,670 --> 00:13:15,705
You understand how long that is.
That's, like, a decade.
331
00:13:15,805 --> 00:13:17,140
(chuckling)
332
00:13:18,541 --> 00:13:21,177
They got a Nobel Prize
because they stopped fighting.
333
00:13:21,278 --> 00:13:22,946
Imagine that.
334
00:13:23,113 --> 00:13:26,116
Now people are gonna be like,
"Oh, to see this in-in Europe,
335
00:13:26,149 --> 00:13:27,884
to see this."
336
00:13:27,984 --> 00:13:29,319
Like, I'll tell you now--
I don't know about you,
337
00:13:29,419 --> 00:13:31,988
but I was shocked to see how
many reporters around the world,
338
00:13:32,122 --> 00:13:34,791
by the way, seem to think
that it's more of a tragedy
339
00:13:34,891 --> 00:13:37,260
when white people have
to flee their countries.
340
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,729
Because I guess, what,
the darkies were built for it?
341
00:13:39,829 --> 00:13:42,732
"I mean, you see how they run
in the Olympics, Peter.
342
00:13:42,832 --> 00:13:45,936
Clearly, God has given them
this talent for a reason."
343
00:13:46,036 --> 00:13:48,939
"I totally agree. I mean,
even if this wasn't a war,
344
00:13:49,039 --> 00:13:51,508
"these people would probably be
fleeing their homes for fun.
345
00:13:51,608 --> 00:13:53,977
"It's just who they are.
(chuckles)
346
00:13:54,144 --> 00:13:56,213
Back to you guys in the studio."
347
00:13:56,313 --> 00:13:57,681
All right,
we have to take a quick break,
348
00:13:57,781 --> 00:13:59,015
but please don't go away.
349
00:13:59,149 --> 00:14:00,817
Because we've talked
about the Russians,
350
00:14:00,917 --> 00:14:02,485
but, when we come back,
we're gonna be talking
351
00:14:02,586 --> 00:14:06,089
about the Ukrainian heroes
who are inspiring the world.
352
00:14:06,189 --> 00:14:07,757
So don't go away.
'Cause if you do go away,
353
00:14:07,857 --> 00:14:09,092
it means you support Russia
because you stayed
354
00:14:09,159 --> 00:14:10,927
for the Russian part
but not the Ukrainian part.
355
00:14:11,094 --> 00:14:12,529
You should be ashamed
of yourself.
356
00:14:12,629 --> 00:14:14,097
We'll be right back.
357
00:14:15,631 --> 00:14:17,099
Welcome back to
The Daily Show.
358
00:14:17,199 --> 00:14:19,435
Earlier on, we were talking
about the global fallout
359
00:14:19,535 --> 00:14:21,804
from Russia's invasion
of Ukraine.
360
00:14:21,904 --> 00:14:24,773
But obviously, the people facing
the greatest impact from the war
361
00:14:24,873 --> 00:14:27,976
are the Ukrainian people
themselves.
362
00:14:28,077 --> 00:14:30,379
Half a million people
have been forced
363
00:14:30,479 --> 00:14:33,682
to leave their homes, and they
fled to neighboring countries.
364
00:14:33,782 --> 00:14:36,618
Hundreds of civilians have
reportedly been killed,
365
00:14:36,718 --> 00:14:40,022
and countless others are huddled
in basements, bomb shelters
366
00:14:40,122 --> 00:14:43,058
and subway stations
to avoid Russian missiles
367
00:14:43,158 --> 00:14:44,927
that are raining down
on their neighborhoods.
368
00:14:45,027 --> 00:14:48,297
In fact, one woman
even gave birth
369
00:14:48,397 --> 00:14:50,866
while she was hiding out
in the subway,
370
00:14:50,966 --> 00:14:52,568
which is terrible.
371
00:14:52,668 --> 00:14:54,903
I mean, the only silver lining
I could think was
372
00:14:55,003 --> 00:14:57,206
that at least it wasn't
the New York subway, you know?
373
00:14:57,306 --> 00:14:59,641
'Cause that newborn would have
been kicked by a subway dancer
374
00:14:59,742 --> 00:15:01,343
and then arrested
for not paying their fare.
375
00:15:01,443 --> 00:15:03,378
But still, there is no doubt
376
00:15:03,479 --> 00:15:06,115
that this war has been
devastating for Ukraine.
377
00:15:06,215 --> 00:15:08,817
But at the same time,
it's also clear
378
00:15:08,917 --> 00:15:10,986
that Putin has failed miserably
379
00:15:11,086 --> 00:15:13,922
in his attempt
to break the country's spirit.
380
00:15:14,022 --> 00:15:17,192
Because I don't know about you,
man, but I've been on Twitter
381
00:15:17,292 --> 00:15:20,095
basically nonstop
since this war started.
382
00:15:20,195 --> 00:15:21,897
Just refreshing,
refreshing, refreshing.
383
00:15:21,997 --> 00:15:23,365
You know, doing my part.
384
00:15:23,465 --> 00:15:25,934
So I've seen all the videos
coming out of this war.
385
00:15:26,034 --> 00:15:29,304
And trust me, Ukrainians
are not messing around.

It looks like
he's carrying an anti-tank mine.

determined to stop
it in its tracks.

NEWSWOMAN 2: Officials believe
this will be a Pyrrhic victory
400
00:16:21,156 --> 00:16:24,893
for Vladimir Putin, symbolized
by that Ukrainian grandmother
401
00:16:24,993 --> 00:16:26,829
who confronted
the Russian soldier.
402
00:16:26,929 --> 00:16:30,099
After berating him, she handed
him some sunflower seeds
403
00:16:30,199 --> 00:16:32,634
to put in his pocket
and then said
404
00:16:32,701 --> 00:16:35,370
she looks forward
to seeing sunflowers grow
405
00:16:35,471 --> 00:16:39,074
when his dead body lies down
on Ukrainian soil.
406
00:16:39,174 --> 00:16:43,645
Okay, I'm not
a military strategist at all.
407
00:16:43,679 --> 00:16:46,515
But if a grandmother hands
me seeds and tells me
408
00:16:46,648 --> 00:16:49,251
that sunflowers will
bloom from my corpse,
409
00:16:49,351 --> 00:16:51,653
I think it's time to retreat.
410
00:16:51,754 --> 00:16:53,655
And I also love how
her aggression was
411
00:16:53,722 --> 00:16:55,023
still on-brand for a grandma.
412
00:16:55,124 --> 00:16:57,493
Like, she's
wishing him death, yes,
413
00:16:57,659 --> 00:16:59,394
but she is also doing
gardening at the same time.
414
00:16:59,495 --> 00:17:02,131
You know? The only way it could
have been more grandma
415
00:17:02,231 --> 00:17:04,900
is if she used his blood to
spell out a message asking
416
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,935
why her grandson
isn't married yet.
417
00:17:07,035 --> 00:17:09,037
And you know what? Just, by
the way, just by the way,
418
00:17:09,138 --> 00:17:11,206
One of the strangest
experiences of the modern world
419
00:17:11,306 --> 00:17:14,610
is following
a war on social media.
420
00:17:14,643 --> 00:17:17,312
Because all the other stuff on
social media doesn't go away,
421
00:17:17,413 --> 00:17:19,515
it just gets
mixed in together.
422
00:17:19,615 --> 00:17:21,817
Like my-my whole
timeline this week was
423
00:17:21,917 --> 00:17:24,119
Ukrainian
civilians picking up weapon,
424
00:17:24,219 --> 00:17:25,621
rocket hitting a building--
425
00:17:25,721 --> 00:17:27,322
--Uncut Gems--
426
00:17:27,423 --> 00:17:29,057

into Kyiv--
427
00:17:29,158 --> 00:17:30,692
--Uncut gems...--
428
00:17:30,793 --> 00:17:32,761
Uniting the people of Ukraine!
429
00:17:32,861 --> 00:17:35,731
Did I say Uncut Gems?
430
00:17:35,831 --> 00:17:38,133
But those people that
we're seeing in Ukraine,
431
00:17:38,233 --> 00:17:39,635
those are the
ones who've just gone viral.
432
00:17:39,668 --> 00:17:41,703
One of the reasons Ukraine
has been able to put up such a
433
00:17:41,804 --> 00:17:44,540
fierce resistance to Russia
is because everybody-- and
434
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,710
I mean everybody-- is stepping
up and joining the fight.

00:18:45,768 --> 00:18:48,237
Wow. Can you believe it?
460
00:18:48,337 --> 00:18:50,272
That guy was just given
two assault rifles

even though
he has never fired a gun.
462
00:18:54,143 --> 00:18:56,545
I mean, if you're American,
you can believe it, of course,
463
00:18:56,645 --> 00:18:59,181
but for everyone else
in the world, this is crazy.
464
00:18:59,281 --> 00:19:01,817
And how insane is it
that Ukrainian public television
465
00:19:01,917 --> 00:19:04,253
is actually teaching people,
teaching people
466
00:19:04,353 --> 00:19:06,422
how to make Molotov cocktails?
467
00:19:06,522 --> 00:19:08,424
You understand
how insane that is, right?
468
00:19:08,524 --> 00:19:10,459
Like, imagine if
during the Cuban Missile Crisis,
469
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:12,027
Mr. Rogers had come out like,
470
00:19:12,127 --> 00:19:14,129
"All right, kids,
I'm gonna show you
471
00:19:14,229 --> 00:19:16,598
how to kill
your Communist neighbor."
472
00:19:16,632 --> 00:19:17,699
Now, when you talk
about Ukrainians
473
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:18,934
stepping up to this moment,
474
00:19:19,034 --> 00:19:20,369
one big part
of this resistance movement
475
00:19:20,469 --> 00:19:24,006
is Ukraine's president himself,
Volodymyr Zelensky.
476
00:19:24,106 --> 00:19:25,374
Who, by the way,
477
00:19:25,474 --> 00:19:28,243
nobody thought would be able
to lead his country.
478
00:19:28,343 --> 00:19:32,147
Like, even less so
in a war against Russia.
479
00:19:32,247 --> 00:19:34,450
All right? And the reason
people had their doubts
480
00:19:34,616 --> 00:19:36,618
is because just four years ago,
481
00:19:36,652 --> 00:19:38,253
Zelensky
wasn't even in politics.
482
00:19:38,353 --> 00:19:40,089
He was a comedian. Yeah.
483
00:19:40,189 --> 00:19:41,857
He was acting in TV shows,
484
00:19:41,957 --> 00:19:43,725
busting moves
on Dancing with the Stars.
485
00:19:43,826 --> 00:19:45,761
And this is completely real.
This is completely real.
486
00:19:45,861 --> 00:19:48,030
He even showed up on a TV show
487
00:19:48,130 --> 00:19:50,332
where he pretended
to play the piano
488
00:19:50,432 --> 00:19:52,034
with his penis.
489
00:19:52,134 --> 00:19:54,036

See?
492
00:20:00,275 --> 00:20:02,911
This is why I always wipe down
the piano with Lysol
493
00:20:03,011 --> 00:20:04,646
before I play. Yeah.
494
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,683
I don't want my penis touching
the same keys as someone else.
495
00:20:07,783 --> 00:20:09,718
But you see that guy?
See that guy?
496
00:20:09,818 --> 00:20:11,487
You watch that clip, you're
like, "Huh! That's ridiculous."
497
00:20:11,653 --> 00:20:13,489
He's the president of Ukraine
right now.
498
00:20:13,655 --> 00:20:16,325
Yeah. He's the guy
who has to rally his country
499
00:20:16,425 --> 00:20:19,161
against an overwhelming
Russian invasion.
500
00:20:19,261 --> 00:20:20,929
And despite everyone's doubts
501
00:20:21,029 --> 00:20:23,766
and everything
that they thought he would be,
502
00:20:23,866 --> 00:20:27,636

00:20:59,501 --> 00:21:02,071
"I need ammunition, not a ride."
515
00:21:02,171 --> 00:21:03,672
Damn.
516
00:21:03,772 --> 00:21:04,940
That's hella gangster.
517
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,643
"I need ammunition, not a ride."
518
00:21:07,709 --> 00:21:09,778
That's some action movie shit
right there.
519
00:21:09,878 --> 00:21:12,114
Meanwhile,
Trump was hiding underground
520
00:21:12,214 --> 00:21:14,149
when people came with placards
to the White House.
521
00:21:14,249 --> 00:21:17,586
There's so many words
out there, hide me.
522
00:21:17,653 --> 00:21:19,021
And you got to give Zelensky
credit for refusing
523
00:21:19,121 --> 00:21:20,622
to flee the country,
because that's not just brave
524
00:21:20,722 --> 00:21:22,825
for a comedian,
that's brave for any leader.
525
00:21:22,925 --> 00:21:24,426
Any leader. I mean,
when is the last time
526
00:21:24,593 --> 00:21:25,761
you saw something
like this, right?
527
00:21:25,861 --> 00:21:27,729
Most of the time,
when leaders are in danger
528
00:21:27,830 --> 00:21:29,732
of getting overthrown
or there's a war or something,
529
00:21:29,832 --> 00:21:30,999
they're the first ones
530
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:33,035
to grab a suitcase full of cash
and bounce.
531
00:21:33,135 --> 00:21:34,303
Yeah. They'll be like,
532
00:21:34,403 --> 00:21:38,040
"We must defend this country
to the death.
533
00:21:38,140 --> 00:21:41,443
Your death, though.
I'm going to Switzerland."
534
00:21:41,610 --> 00:21:44,513
But Zelensky-- no.
He's standing his ground.
535
00:21:44,613 --> 00:21:46,915
And maybe even
going down with the ship,
536
00:21:47,015 --> 00:21:50,052
which has turned him
into an international hero.
537
00:21:50,152 --> 00:21:54,189
So, for more on this, let's
go out now to another hero,
538
00:21:54,289 --> 00:21:57,326
our very own Michael Kosta,
who is reporting live
539
00:21:57,426 --> 00:21:59,762
from the center of the conflict
in Ukraine.
540
00:21:59,862 --> 00:22:01,730
Michael, can you hear me
right now
541
00:22:01,830 --> 00:22:03,899
and, most importantly,
are you safe?
542
00:22:03,999 --> 00:22:07,102
Yes, Trevor, I'm safe.
Thanks for asking.
543
00:22:07,202 --> 00:22:10,939
War is hell, but I am
doing the best that I can.
544
00:22:13,108 --> 00:22:15,577
Well, I'm sorry--
Michael, is that
545
00:22:15,611 --> 00:22:17,880
the Eiffel Tower behind you?
Are you-are you in Paris?
546
00:22:17,980 --> 00:22:19,581
Aren't you... aren't you
supposed to be in Kyiv?
547
00:22:19,648 --> 00:22:21,784
Oh, no way, man,
there's a war over there.
548
00:22:21,884 --> 00:22:23,218
Haven't you heard?
549
00:22:23,318 --> 00:22:25,788
Paris is as close as
I'm gonna get to all that.
550
00:22:25,888 --> 00:22:27,723
It's not like
it's so easy here, either.
551
00:22:27,823 --> 00:22:30,359
The waiters are so rude.
552
00:22:30,459 --> 00:22:32,594
Michael, I'm disappointed
in you. Come on.
553
00:22:32,628 --> 00:22:35,431
We spoke abou... I thought
you were going, like... Man.
554
00:22:35,597 --> 00:22:37,232
Especially after
seeing how brave
555
00:22:37,332 --> 00:22:40,035
President Zelensky has been,
you should be as brave.
556
00:22:40,135 --> 00:22:42,304
You're a fellow comedian,
you should be proud
557
00:22:42,404 --> 00:22:43,705
of the example
that he's setting.
558
00:22:43,806 --> 00:22:46,008
Proud? This Zelensky thing
559
00:22:46,108 --> 00:22:47,743
is a disaster for us, Trevor.
560
00:22:47,843 --> 00:22:49,778
People are gonna
see this comedian being brave
561
00:22:49,878 --> 00:22:51,880
and they're gonna think
we're all brave.
562
00:22:51,980 --> 00:22:54,750
I did not become a comedian
to be brave.
563
00:22:54,850 --> 00:22:58,320
I became a comedian to eat free
chicken fingers at comedy clubs.
564
00:22:58,420 --> 00:23:00,089
A if a Russian
ever threatened me,
565
00:23:00,189 --> 00:23:01,523
I would not
be standing my ground,
566
00:23:01,623 --> 00:23:02,791
I'd be learning
how to make borscht
567
00:23:02,891 --> 00:23:04,626
the way that he likes it.
568
00:23:04,660 --> 00:23:06,628
Another one, uh,
but this time a white one.
569
00:23:06,662 --> 00:23:08,163
-Good wine.
-Well, you know what, Kosta,
570
00:23:08,263 --> 00:23:10,899
I'm disappointed.
And that is just you, my friend.
571
00:23:10,999 --> 00:23:14,169
Because I'm a comedian,
and I'm inspired by Zelensky
572
00:23:14,269 --> 00:23:16,004
-stepping up to fight.
-Oh, really?
573
00:23:16,105 --> 00:23:17,639
So, uh, you want
my train ticket to Kyiv
574
00:23:17,740 --> 00:23:19,174
so you can
fight on the front lines?
575
00:23:19,274 --> 00:23:22,978
Well, I mean, I-I think I have
more value here at the show,
576
00:23:23,078 --> 00:23:24,880
you know, getting the word
out to the people,
577
00:23:24,980 --> 00:23:26,715
-informing them about...
-Oh, blah, blah, blah.
578
00:23:26,815 --> 00:23:28,751
Admit it: you're a coward.
579
00:23:28,851 --> 00:23:31,186
There's no world leader
inside of you, Trevor.
580
00:23:31,286 --> 00:23:33,122
It's just more chicken fingers.
581
00:23:33,222 --> 00:23:35,724
-Okay, fine.
I'm not brave either. -Yeah.
582
00:23:35,824 --> 00:23:37,960
But I still think it's inspiring
to see one of our own
583
00:23:38,060 --> 00:23:40,696
be brave, you know?
Yeah, Trevor, you're not really
584
00:23:40,796 --> 00:23:42,498
grasping what's at stake here.
585
00:23:42,598 --> 00:23:44,666
It's not just about
fighting in wars.
586
00:23:44,767 --> 00:23:47,403
After seeing Zelensky, people
are gonna expect comedians
587
00:23:47,503 --> 00:23:50,038
to do all sorts
of selfless acts now--
588
00:23:50,139 --> 00:23:51,273
stopping crime,
589
00:23:51,373 --> 00:23:53,008
responding to AMBER Alerts.
590
00:23:53,108 --> 00:23:55,811
Just this morning, someone
asked me to hold the elevator.
591
00:23:55,911 --> 00:23:57,846
I'm still shaking from that.
592
00:23:57,946 --> 00:24:00,749
Just imagine if I'd
actually held it for her.
593
00:24:00,849 --> 00:24:02,751
Well, you know something, Kosta?
594
00:24:02,851 --> 00:24:05,220
I think that, in your own way,
595
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,289
you actually are brave.
596
00:24:07,389 --> 00:24:09,458
-Yeah. -Yeah, I mean, not many
people would have the guts
597
00:24:09,625 --> 00:24:11,226
to sound like
that much of an asshole on TV.
598
00:24:11,326 --> 00:24:13,328
I'm actually really inspired,
man.
599
00:24:14,630 --> 00:24:16,265
Thank you, Trevor.
I-I appreciate--
600
00:24:16,365 --> 00:24:17,900
You know, and...
601
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,601
and when you put it that way,
I...
602
00:24:19,701 --> 00:24:21,403
I am sort of a hero.
603
00:24:21,503 --> 00:24:23,105
So...
604
00:24:23,205 --> 00:24:25,240
If you'll excuse me,
I just saw an old woman fall
605
00:24:25,340 --> 00:24:27,509
and I got to get out of here
before she asks me for help.
606
00:24:27,609 --> 00:24:28,911
So...
607
00:24:30,512 --> 00:24:32,681
Inspiring, Michael.
Thank you so much.
608
00:24:32,781 --> 00:24:34,817
All right, when we come back,
we're gonna be talking more
609
00:24:34,917 --> 00:24:36,018
about the war in Ukraine
610
00:24:36,118 --> 00:24:38,387
with foreign policy expert
Samantha Power,
611
00:24:38,487 --> 00:24:40,022
so don't go away.
612
00:24:40,122 --> 00:24:42,024
Did he pay his bill
before he left?
613
00:24:43,625 --> 00:24:44,893
Welcome back to
The Daily Show.
614
00:24:44,993 --> 00:24:46,027
My guest tonight
is Samantha Power,
615
00:24:46,127 --> 00:24:48,063
administrator of USAID
and a member
616
00:24:48,163 --> 00:24:50,065
of President Biden's
National Security Council.
617
00:24:50,165 --> 00:24:52,734
She joins us from Brussels to
talk about the war in Ukraine.
618
00:24:52,834 --> 00:24:54,736
Administrator Power,
thank you so much
619
00:24:54,836 --> 00:24:56,838
-for joining us on the show.
-Thank you for having me.
620
00:24:56,938 --> 00:25:00,308
You know, it's really crazy how
the last time I spoke to you
621
00:25:00,408 --> 00:25:03,912
was actually on The Daily Show--
this was pre, um, you know,
622
00:25:04,012 --> 00:25:06,681
all of this happening. I think
it was even pre-pandemic.
623
00:25:06,781 --> 00:25:10,051
And one of the questions
I asked you was about Russia.
624
00:25:10,151 --> 00:25:12,220
You responded, saying that
Russia is a constant threat,
625
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,289
and it seems like
that has come true.
626
00:25:14,389 --> 00:25:17,192
If that's the case,
my first question to you is,
627
00:25:17,292 --> 00:25:19,194
how did you see it coming,
628
00:25:19,294 --> 00:25:23,064
and how did the U.S. seem to not
do what it could have done,
629
00:25:23,164 --> 00:25:25,100
or was this something
that was inevitable?
630
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,103
It's a great question,
and I will say
631
00:25:28,203 --> 00:25:29,904
that I was U.N. Ambassador
632
00:25:30,004 --> 00:25:33,074
under Barack Obama
in his second term.
633
00:25:33,174 --> 00:25:36,144
And we could find pockets
of cooperation.
634
00:25:36,244 --> 00:25:39,280
But for me,
what really made clear
635
00:25:39,380 --> 00:25:41,549
that Russia was heading
in a different direction,
636
00:25:41,649 --> 00:25:44,085
and it had great consequences
for humanity,
637
00:25:44,185 --> 00:25:46,087
was the Syria crisis.
638
00:25:46,187 --> 00:25:49,624
And particularly, you might
remember the bombing of Aleppo.
639
00:25:49,657 --> 00:25:52,260
-Mm-hmm.
-Which was, like before it,
640
00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:55,830
the bombing of Grozny
in Chechnya, internal to Russia.
641
00:25:55,930 --> 00:25:57,966
So, suddenly, Russia,
outside of its borders,
642
00:25:58,066 --> 00:26:01,903
was backing, yes,
a regime, a government--
643
00:26:02,003 --> 00:26:03,738
it was also a member state
of the United Nations--
644
00:26:03,838 --> 00:26:05,273
pulverizing civilians.
645
00:26:05,373 --> 00:26:08,476
First time I ever heard the
phrase, Trevor, "Fake news"--
646
00:26:08,643 --> 00:26:12,447
which has now become a staple--
was the Russian ambassador
647
00:26:12,547 --> 00:26:14,949
at the United Nations
talking about, claim...
648
00:26:15,049 --> 00:26:16,351
making a set of false claims
649
00:26:16,451 --> 00:26:17,986
-about what was happening
in Syria... -Wow.
650
00:26:18,086 --> 00:26:19,354
...and about how
all that we're doing
651
00:26:19,454 --> 00:26:20,955
is neutralizing terrorists.
652
00:26:21,055 --> 00:26:23,124
And it was the first time
they were asking us
653
00:26:23,224 --> 00:26:25,827
not to believe what we saw
with our own eyes.
654
00:26:25,927 --> 00:26:27,429
And then, of course,
we had the interference
655
00:26:27,529 --> 00:26:30,965
in the 2016 election,
which was so systematic.
656
00:26:31,066 --> 00:26:33,701
So, when you ask
where are things going,
657
00:26:33,802 --> 00:26:35,870
I mean, they have
obviously turned now
658
00:26:35,970 --> 00:26:38,373
in the darkest direction
imaginable,
659
00:26:38,473 --> 00:26:41,843
galvanizing the democratic
world, but well beyond that.
660
00:26:41,943 --> 00:26:45,146
I mean, galvanizing statements
also from, for example,
661
00:26:45,246 --> 00:26:47,348
the African countries,
the Latin American countries
662
00:26:47,449 --> 00:26:49,784
and others in the world
who are...
663
00:26:49,884 --> 00:26:51,820
who are just saying, "Enough.
664
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,223
"You know, you cannot
pulverize civilians in this way.
665
00:26:55,323 --> 00:26:56,958
"You can't try
to take over a country
666
00:26:57,058 --> 00:26:58,793
"just 'cause you want to make
your own country bigger.
667
00:26:58,893 --> 00:27:00,395
Like, that's not okay."
668
00:27:00,495 --> 00:27:03,465
And, um... But it's been
a reality check, I think,
669
00:27:03,631 --> 00:27:05,633
for-for a lot of countries
670
00:27:05,734 --> 00:27:07,268
and publics around the world
671
00:27:07,368 --> 00:27:09,637
who didn't realize
it had gotten this bad.
672
00:27:09,671 --> 00:27:11,806
From-from
a layman's perspective,
673
00:27:11,906 --> 00:27:14,042
it feels like the world
is in a place
674
00:27:14,142 --> 00:27:17,278
where either countries
are afraid of Russia
675
00:27:17,378 --> 00:27:19,647
or, you know,
let's say, for instance,
676
00:27:19,748 --> 00:27:21,816
Germany or many countries
around Europe,
677
00:27:21,916 --> 00:27:24,919
they're so dependent on Russia
for its, uh, its energy.
678
00:27:25,019 --> 00:27:27,789
Um, you know, providing energy.
679
00:27:27,889 --> 00:27:31,860
Uh, they're dependent on Russia
for, uh, wheat, et cetera.
680
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,528
It feels like the world
is in a position
681
00:27:33,661 --> 00:27:35,296
where they can chastise Russia,
682
00:27:35,397 --> 00:27:36,731
but they can't actually do
anything to Russia.
683
00:27:36,831 --> 00:27:38,666
Is there something
the world could do?
684
00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:41,436
When we were warning
about the troop buildup
685
00:27:41,536 --> 00:27:43,004
on the other side of Ukraine,
686
00:27:43,104 --> 00:27:45,607
uh, there were, you know,
some countries
687
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,041
within Europe
that were questioning,
688
00:27:47,142 --> 00:27:48,610
you know, "Is that...
Is that really true?
689
00:27:48,676 --> 00:27:49,978
Would Putin really do it?"
690
00:27:50,078 --> 00:27:53,181
And-and it was kind of
a little bit of wishful thinking
691
00:27:53,281 --> 00:27:56,418
in the sense of you don't want
to have to impose those costs.
692
00:27:56,518 --> 00:27:59,154
You don't want to do them,
also, to the Russian economy.
693
00:27:59,254 --> 00:28:01,723
Nobody wants to... Goes into...
694
00:28:01,823 --> 00:28:03,158
Wakes up in the morning
and says,
695
00:28:03,258 --> 00:28:05,126
"I want to inflict
severe economic pain
696
00:28:05,226 --> 00:28:06,761
-on another country."
-Right.
697
00:28:06,861 --> 00:28:08,663
Well, the invasion itself
698
00:28:08,763 --> 00:28:12,033
has produced a degree of unity
699
00:28:12,133 --> 00:28:15,837
and a willingness to go further
700
00:28:15,937 --> 00:28:19,140
than we have seen Europe
ever be willing to go.
701
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,409
And to bear those costs
702
00:28:21,509 --> 00:28:23,878
potentially
to their own, uh, economies,
703
00:28:23,978 --> 00:28:25,346
at least in the short term,
704
00:28:25,447 --> 00:28:27,649
certainly major questions now
705
00:28:27,715 --> 00:28:30,151
about their energy sources
706
00:28:30,251 --> 00:28:33,021
and energy prices.
Are those going to be up?
707
00:28:33,121 --> 00:28:36,324
But they basically said
what he is doing is intolerable,
708
00:28:36,424 --> 00:28:40,128
and we are going to bear
some of those spillover effects
709
00:28:40,228 --> 00:28:44,599
because we have to inflict
a degree of punishment here
710
00:28:44,666 --> 00:28:47,869
in the hopes of getting him
right now at the beginning.
711
00:28:47,969 --> 00:28:49,838
You know, it's only been going
for less than a week.
712
00:28:49,938 --> 00:28:53,174
But to get him to step away
713
00:28:53,274 --> 00:28:56,845
from this reckless,
devastating course of action.
714
00:28:56,945 --> 00:28:58,880
And, you know,
the-the kinds of steps
715
00:28:58,980 --> 00:29:01,850
that have been taken
just in the last 48 hours
716
00:29:01,950 --> 00:29:06,121
goes so far beyond
what most observers
717
00:29:06,221 --> 00:29:08,456
thought was conceivable
for just the reason you say.
718
00:29:08,623 --> 00:29:10,225
This kind of
mutually assured destruction,
719
00:29:10,325 --> 00:29:13,228
interconnectedness
of the energy market
720
00:29:13,328 --> 00:29:15,797
-and of our economic system
at large. -Yeah. Yeah.
721
00:29:15,897 --> 00:29:18,933
But the SWIFT sanction
is the most severe sanction
722
00:29:19,033 --> 00:29:22,036
that one can impose.
You know, cutting off, uh,
723
00:29:22,137 --> 00:29:24,639
the U.S. citizens',
European citizens' ability
724
00:29:24,672 --> 00:29:26,741
to do business with
the Russian Central Bank--
725
00:29:26,841 --> 00:29:30,645
that was something that,
until 48 hours ago,
726
00:29:30,678 --> 00:29:32,080
uh, I think President Putin
still thought
727
00:29:32,180 --> 00:29:33,648
has was gonna
be able to draw upon.
728
00:29:33,715 --> 00:29:36,451
Now, again,
what needs to happen
729
00:29:36,551 --> 00:29:39,287
is then the elites around Putin
730
00:29:39,387 --> 00:29:41,256
who also have
an awful lot to lose
731
00:29:41,356 --> 00:29:45,093
from the severity of these
unprecedented sanctions,
732
00:29:45,193 --> 00:29:46,661
with so many
countries behind them,
733
00:29:46,761 --> 00:29:49,798
is that those elites, you know,
734
00:29:49,898 --> 00:29:52,200
need to chime... chime in
735
00:29:52,300 --> 00:29:54,636
and do everything
in their power
736
00:29:54,736 --> 00:29:57,806
to affect a calculus that,
so far,
737
00:29:57,906 --> 00:30:00,275
on Putin's part,
hasn't shown a lot of regard
738
00:30:00,375 --> 00:30:02,177
for the welfare
of the Russian people.
739
00:30:02,277 --> 00:30:04,746
This is Putin's M.O.,
and so that's the question
740
00:30:04,846 --> 00:30:08,783
for people around him, and-and
when his cost-benefit calculus
741
00:30:08,883 --> 00:30:12,120
is gonna be affected by all
of this, and-and the sanctions
742
00:30:12,220 --> 00:30:14,856
that have been brought online
and the unity, you know,
743
00:30:14,956 --> 00:30:17,926
make it, the cost, much more
evident to him than
744
00:30:18,026 --> 00:30:21,296
I think anybody expected,
including, perhaps, him.
745
00:30:21,396 --> 00:30:23,765
It doesn't seem like
China has condemned Russia.
746
00:30:23,865 --> 00:30:25,867
They put out vague
statements that sort of say
747
00:30:25,967 --> 00:30:27,302
"we just believe that everyone
should be able
748
00:30:27,402 --> 00:30:29,404
to determine their borders,"
which you could almost
749
00:30:29,504 --> 00:30:33,341
read both ways, funny enough.
Um, is there a possibility
750
00:30:33,441 --> 00:30:36,745
that unless Russia stands up,
R... you know,
751
00:30:36,845 --> 00:30:38,880
I mean, unless China stands up,
is there a possibility
752
00:30:38,980 --> 00:30:43,051
that-that the world could almost
push Russia to China
753
00:30:43,151 --> 00:30:45,687
and then trade in Asia
just becomes Russia's way out,
754
00:30:45,787 --> 00:30:47,489
or do you think the sanctions
are gonna be enough
755
00:30:47,589 --> 00:30:49,324
to get Russia
to come to the table?
756
00:30:50,358 --> 00:30:52,961
Well, first of all,
Russia's economy
757
00:30:53,061 --> 00:30:56,931
is massively dependent on Europe
and the United States.
758
00:30:57,031 --> 00:30:59,234
-Right.
-That is Russian manufacturing,
759
00:30:59,334 --> 00:31:03,204
uh, and so many industries that-
that keep the economy afloat.
760
00:31:03,304 --> 00:31:06,608
And so, the-the dollar economy
761
00:31:06,708 --> 00:31:08,977
is still the animating force
762
00:31:09,077 --> 00:31:11,146
of the global economy.
763
00:31:11,246 --> 00:31:13,748
Um, I think when it comes
to China's reaction,
764
00:31:13,848 --> 00:31:15,049
first of all,
765
00:31:15,150 --> 00:31:17,652
because of the relationship
that President Putin
766
00:31:17,752 --> 00:31:19,821
and President Xi
have-have built,
767
00:31:19,921 --> 00:31:23,024
a relationship
predicated on, uh,
768
00:31:23,124 --> 00:31:26,361
not wanting any country,
uh, to question
769
00:31:26,461 --> 00:31:28,096
what they are doing
to their own people...
770
00:31:28,196 --> 00:31:31,266
-Yeah. -...um, you know,
wanting to be able to crack down
771
00:31:31,366 --> 00:31:33,802
and repress and round people up,
772
00:31:33,902 --> 00:31:35,670
I mean, that is something
they have in common.
773
00:31:35,770 --> 00:31:38,406
And-and that has brought them
together,
774
00:31:38,506 --> 00:31:41,276
among-among other, uh, dynamics.
775
00:31:41,376 --> 00:31:45,680
But given the-the increasing
closeness of that relationship,
776
00:31:45,780 --> 00:31:47,949
uh, many people expected
777
00:31:48,049 --> 00:31:50,485
that China would join Russia
in vetoing
778
00:31:50,585 --> 00:31:52,987
a recent UN Security Council
resolution
779
00:31:53,088 --> 00:31:54,756
condemning what is happening.
780
00:31:54,856 --> 00:31:56,324
And instead, to your point,
781
00:31:56,424 --> 00:31:58,993
China just said,
"Actually, we're gonna abstain,
782
00:31:59,094 --> 00:32:01,429
"um, and we're gonna say
all parties should,
783
00:32:01,596 --> 00:32:04,032
you know, have cooler heads
or-or whatever."
784
00:32:04,132 --> 00:32:07,836
And so I actually think that
it doesn't look like isolation.
785
00:32:07,936 --> 00:32:09,971
Of course
we think it's outrageous
786
00:32:10,071 --> 00:32:12,173
that-that any country
787
00:32:12,273 --> 00:32:16,044
would-would miss
an opportunity to condemn...
788
00:32:16,144 --> 00:32:18,913
(chuckles) you know, a full-on
invasion of its neighbor.
789
00:32:19,013 --> 00:32:20,882
So an abstention is not...
(chuckles)
790
00:32:20,982 --> 00:32:23,084
the desired, uh, posture
791
00:32:23,184 --> 00:32:25,086
that-that we would wish,
you know, China
792
00:32:25,186 --> 00:32:27,622
or any member state
of the United Nations to take.
793
00:32:27,689 --> 00:32:30,725
At the same time,
it is a signal to Putin
794
00:32:30,825 --> 00:32:34,162
that China is not attaching,
795
00:32:34,262 --> 00:32:37,298
uh, its mast to-to this sail.
796
00:32:37,399 --> 00:32:39,167
-Right. -Uh, you know,
that it is-- it is--
797
00:32:39,267 --> 00:32:40,668
it is putting some distance
in there.
798
00:32:40,769 --> 00:32:43,171
And that, Trevor, I think,
is partly also because
799
00:32:43,271 --> 00:32:46,875
China has its own global project
that it has embarked upon.
800
00:32:46,975 --> 00:32:50,278
China sees that the rest
of the world is horrified,
801
00:32:50,378 --> 00:32:52,881
uh, and that the rest
of the world really has brought
802
00:32:52,981 --> 00:32:57,619
a degree of, uh, empathy and
outrage to what Russia has done.
803
00:32:57,719 --> 00:33:00,789
And so China's a self-interested
actor in that world as well
804
00:33:00,889 --> 00:33:02,891
and is looking out
for its own standing.
805
00:33:02,991 --> 00:33:05,193
Well, Administrator Power, thank
you so much for taking the time.
806
00:33:05,293 --> 00:33:07,062
I know you're dealing
with the crisis on the ground,
807
00:33:07,162 --> 00:33:08,329
talking to many of these people.
808
00:33:08,430 --> 00:33:10,165
Hopefully it'll be resolved
sooner than later.
809
00:33:10,265 --> 00:33:12,300
I appreciate you
for joining me on the show.
810
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:13,668
Thank you, Trevor.
811
00:33:13,768 --> 00:33:15,270
Okay, we're gonna take
a quick break,
812
00:33:15,370 --> 00:33:16,704
but we'll be right back
after this.
813
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,075
Well, that's our show
for tonight. But before we go,
814
00:33:20,175 --> 00:33:22,244
as you've seen,
families in Ukraine
815
00:33:22,344 --> 00:33:25,814
are fleeing violence
and urgently need emergency aid.
816
00:33:25,914 --> 00:33:27,916
CARE's immediate crisis response
817
00:33:28,016 --> 00:33:30,051
aims to reach
four million people,
818
00:33:30,151 --> 00:33:32,187
prioritizing women and girls
819
00:33:32,287 --> 00:33:34,356
and families and the elderly.
820
00:33:34,456 --> 00:33:36,825
So, if you can,
please donate at the link below
821
00:33:36,925 --> 00:33:38,893
to rush
urgently needed water, food,
822
00:33:38,994 --> 00:33:42,097
hygiene kits,
and ongoing support in Ukraine.
823
00:33:42,197 --> 00:33:44,266
Until tomorrow,
stay safe out there,
824
00:33:44,366 --> 00:33:46,134
get your vaccine, and, remember,
825
00:33:46,234 --> 00:33:48,303
be the Zelensky
in your group of friends,
826
00:33:48,403 --> 00:33:49,504
not the Putin.
827
00:33:49,604 --> 00:33:52,040
Now here it is,
Your Moment of Zen.
828
00:33:52,140 --> 00:33:54,175
♪ ♪
829
00:33:55,977 --> 00:33:57,812
Vladimir Putin started this war.
830
00:33:57,913 --> 00:33:59,247
He fired the first shots.
831
00:33:59,347 --> 00:34:01,917
He is to blame for what we're
seeing tonight in Ukraine.
832
00:34:02,017 --> 00:34:03,385
(record scratch)
833
00:34:04,519 --> 00:34:07,088
Why do I hate Putin so much?
834
00:34:07,188 --> 00:34:09,090
Has Putin
ever called me a racist?
835
00:34:09,190 --> 00:34:12,227
Has he threatened to get me
fired for disagreeing with him?
836
00:34:12,327 --> 00:34:14,396
Has he shipped every
middle-class job in my town
837
00:34:14,496 --> 00:34:15,530
to Russia?
838
00:34:15,630 --> 00:34:17,632
Did he manufacture
a worldwide pandemic
839
00:34:17,799 --> 00:34:20,568
that wrecked my business and
kept me indoors for two years?
840
00:34:20,669 --> 00:34:24,039
Is he teaching my children to
embrace racial discrimination?
841
00:34:24,139 --> 00:34:25,707
Is he making fentanyl?
842
00:34:25,807 --> 00:34:27,509
Is he trying to snuff out
Christianity?
843
00:34:27,609 --> 00:34:29,377
Does he eat dogs?
844
00:34:29,477 --> 00:34:30,645
These are fair questions.
845
00:34:30,812 --> 00:34:32,447
And the answer to all of them
is no.
846
00:34:32,547 --> 00:34:34,916
Vladimir Putin
didn't do any of that.
