"No, I mean, like. 'cause that would be a different story. That would be like, if that was the mother of his children that shot him, then you know what? I may actually be on her side. You never know. Yeah. I might have been there like, you know what, sister? You shoot him in the back, girl. That's right. You shoot him thinking he ain't gonna pay after he play. You shoot him in the back, thinking he gonna run away from his responsibilities. Shoot him dead. But this is nothing to do with it. A policeman shoots an unarmed man. He's running away. And then they have the nerve. They have the nerve, the crazy enough to say this officer feared for his life. He was afraid. Afraid of what? That man's ready to wait. There's nothing less frightening than somebody running away from you. That is the definition of fear. He's running away. The only thing he could have done to be less threatening is to crack like a chicken as he does. There's nothing less frightening than a man running away from him. Like, what are you afraid of? You can't say he was running. I was afraid. Afraid of what? He's running away from you. That makes no sense. You're seeing him from behind. No one is threatening from behind. They're running away. There's no one. Like, maybe Kim Kardashian, but nobody else. He's running away from you. You shoot him in the back. And I was like, yeah, I was afraid. Afraid of what? What do you have abandonment issues? Why would you shoot a man? My dad left when I was 5. Makes no sense. So I don't know how not to die. Here I am in my car. On the side of the road, in a random street in Los Angeles. And the whole time I was like, I don't want to die. I want to die. I will die. And the policeman gets out of his car. And he starts walking towards me. And his hand is by his side. And it's doing this. And I've watched westerns. I know what this means. This is never good. This never turns into friendship. So now I'm starting to stress, and I'm looking at him in the side mirror of my car, and I'm panicking because objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. So he's going to get there at any moment. And I don't know why. I don't know why I did this. As soon as you go, I panicked. I completely panicked and I launched myself out the window. I took my body, and I threw it out the window, and I fell onto the side of the car, just like, and onto the side of the car. I basically went back to nature. I thought of a predator, you don't make eye contact and you play dead. That's all I did. I just played that on the side of the car. Jim, which freaked him out. He was completely he was just like, what the heck? Hey. Hey, what what's going on? I said, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He's like, sure, what are you sorry for? Is that whatever it is that's gonna make you shoot me I'm sorry. I'm sorry, officer. He said, sure. Get back in the car. Get back in the car and no. Not all that died, please. I'm not fully for that trick, please officer. He's like, sure, I'm not gonna kill you. Just get back in the car. I don't mean shame. This guy was just as freaked out as I was. I'm not gonna lie. 'cause I mean, when I put myself in his shoes, what does he do? Imagine that you're standing on the side of a guy jumps out of his own car. What is he? He can't even call for backup. What does he say? Ten four I need back on it. What do you need? I got a black eyed kid killed himself. Ten, four, you gotta make something out better than that. We'll back you up. Don't worry. What do you say? It's just like, the guys freaking out, I'm freaking out. And I'm lying there and this guy, he approaches slowly, versus he finally gets to me and listen to my arms and he's like, get back in the car so get back. It stops me back into my window. Get back. He's like, sure. Sure. Calm down. Calm down. I'm sorry. He's like, sure. Have you been drinking? I said no. I haven't been drinking. I said, okay, calm down. Do you know why I pulled you over, sir? Just because I'm black. And now I wasn't being an ass. Nor was I joking. I'd just been informed that as a black person in America, if you drive a really nice car, there's a good chance you're going to get pulled over by the police. So in my world, he was doing his job as I had been told. Yeah, I wasn't judging him. In fact, I was a little flattered. I was like, well, thank you very much, for the officer. For noticing this bad boy right here, that's right. 2015, baby. I was really excited. He was more freaked out, though, 'cause I said to him, I said, it's because I'm black. And then he did this thing that I've come to learn is the reaction of white people in America. When they hear information, they can't process fast enough. Have this thing where they smile on the outside, but on the inside, it's almost as if they short circuiting. Like he looks at me and he goes, I'm sorry, what? I said, because I'm black, that's why you pulled me over and he goes, no, no, hey, no, that is not that. No, hey, I don't know. No, that is not the. Story. I felt so bad for him. Yeah. I think we both learned a lot that day, the two of us. I grew from that experience. I was speeding. That's why he pulled me over. But he let me go.

Trevor Noah says he's exiting as host of 'The Daily Show'
"Trevor Noah announced he's leaving Comedy Central's The Daily Show Noah surprised his audience when mentioning he had hosted the weeknight show for 7 years replacing Jon Stewart One of the overriding feelings I found myself experiencing throughout the night and even today waking up was was a feeling of gratitude That got no one thinking even more And I realized that after the 7 years um my time is up I uh Yeah But in the most in the most beautiful way honestly The 7 years include the Trump presidency and the pandemic Trevor Noah was a relatively unknown comic from South Africa When he was hired I never dreamed that I would be here I sort of felt like a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory I came in for a tour Of what the previous show was and then the next thing I know I was handed the keys Either no and nor Comedy Central offered a timetable for his departure We'll still be here for the time being I'm Ed Donahue

"What did you think happened to be or the morning after The White House correspondents dinner? I thought Trevor Noah was great about the president was great. You know, it just made me, first of all, 6 years, the guy couldn't go to a oh. No. Yeah, I caught myself. Thank you. You know, the pre orange, the orange thing. Right. Such a baby. Couldn't go to The White House correspondent center because he is such a little child. And you know, comedy is such a weapon. Yeah. And he doesn't know how to use it because he's too dumb. So I loved it. I loved that, you know, I love that speech Trevor gave at the end. Yes. Because, you know, there's nothing like disarming an audience with comedy. And then, you know, and they listen and they love you after you disarm them and make them laugh and to be able to use that platform. I mean, talk about taking advantage of a situation. I loved that. Yeah. And I love that Biden. Yes. No, that's not for you. That's for him. Go ahead. You're not supposed to be looking at me. Go ahead. Oh, sorry. And I love that Biden. Mocked it. That hope that whole pandemic, you know, we had a play. Oh wait, well, that's what I was that's what I was doing. Hold on, here we go. This is the first time the president attended this dinner in 6 years. It's understandable. We had a horrible plague followed by two years of COVID. Hilarious and true, right? Right. And what a great joke and someone who can deliver a joke. And, you know, just bringing that humor back and that self effacing. That is part of our culture. Stand up is such a part of our culture because it's just an extension of free speech.

Trevor Noah: Biden Has to Deal With 'Dictator' Joe Manchin
"Listen, listen to what he points out about West Virginia senator Joe Manchin. And unfortunately for President Biden, the bad news didn't stop at his presidential pound. Yes, because when Biden got back to the U.S., he had to deal with another or powerful dictator. Joe Manchin, West Virginia Democrat, and somehow the real president of the United States. Because you see, Biden has spent the last two years trying to get Joe Manchin to vote for his build back better Bill. But Manchin has spent the last two years saying no. He's been giving a variety of answers, you know? Oh, I don't want to risk inflation. I don't want to end offshore drilling. I'm a Gemini and mercury's in retrograde. That's not a good time to make big decisions. So after a lot of back and forth, Manchin said, look, I'll do a much smaller bill that only has some health insurance expansions, and the climate change stuff, and then like, you can raise taxes on corporations to pay for it. So, Democrats took out everything Manchin didn't want and came back last week with a bill that only has what he asked for. To which Joe Manson said. He made like a gesture like fake you out. Joe Manchin is getting pressure from his constituents not to sign on to this nonsense and imagine that. A senator reflecting his constituents wishes. Not the activists in Washington, D.C., how about that,

Here we go, we're about to start taking our monologue. It's a far cry from his more confined TV studio day job on The Daily Show. Where he had a shaky start when he took over 6 years ago from Jon Stewart. And now it feels like the family has a new stepdad. And he's black. Is it a good decision? Terrible initially. Awful. Don't take The Daily Show, Leslie, when they offer it to whatever you do. Don't take The Daily Show. What happened in the beginning? Oh, I mean, everybody hated me. People didn't even know me and they hated the idea of me. But you did have a savior. Donald Trump. Once you realize that Trump is basically the perfect African president. He starts to notice the similarities everywhere. Pigeons who once he found his foils the secret document his ratings began to improve and he realized he could connect American politics to his background in South Africa. He grew up in Johannesburg and its black township of Soweto during the strict racial separation regime of apartheid. He always felt like an outsider, not quite black like his cosa mother, not quite white like his Swiss father, who he has seen infrequently in his life. To be with your father who was white, that was a crime. Yeah. This was the law that forbade anybody of different races from mixing. There's something I heard. I'm not sure I believe it, but your grandfather used to call you master. Yeah. Because of the color of your skin? That's how he referred to me. Master and he always forced me to sit in the back of the car. Be like, mustard? What can the police say? If I said they must start sitting with me. Your parents, your grandmother, particularly, was always afraid the police were going to come. Yes. And find you. What would have happened if they found you? I probably would have been taken away to an orphanage? No. Yeah. Your grandmother was always hiding you. Yes. You were in lockdown. Right. I was in pandemic before pandemic even existed. But you were poor. You write in your book about eating worms and having a toy that was a brick. Here's the thing that I always say to people. Being poor in a group or in a community that is poor is not as bad as being poor when you know what you're missing out on. So when I grew up, we played with bricks as cars, and you'd smash them into each other, and it was one of the most fun games I've ever played. The same thing with eating more piney worms. What I didn't like was when we couldn't eat anything else, and my mom said we're gonna have to eat these more pony women for longer because we don't have money to buy chicken.

"Last November, a country with a long, complicated history with the U.S., held its presidential election. Its president was seeking a fourth consecutive term and made sure nothing stood in his way. He changed the country's laws, silenced the media, and locked up candidates who plan to run against him. As we first reported, last October, Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega is not the fatigue wearing revolutionary that you may remember. He's now 76 in rarely seen. Still, many Nicaraguans fear he is more dangerous than he's ever been. And tonight, you'll hear from two women whose husbands were planning to challenge Ortega for the presidency. Both men were arrested by the regime more than a year ago, and their wives haven't seen or spoken to them since. Now the women are fighting to bring back their husbands, and a democracy lost. If you're seeing this, I've been captured those were the chilling words of Juan Sebastian chamorro, hours before he was taken from his home by mass police officers in June 2021. There was a lot of cars, a lot of noise, a lot of people, jumping in our walls, so Victoria cardinals is Juan Sebastian chamorro's wife. Chamorro was planning to run for president against Daniel Ortega and was considered a leading candidate. Because of that cardinal says, police had been harassing him outside of their home for months. But on June 8th, they came in. He was on the floor with his hands up saying I am here. Please don't do anything to my wife. We are unarmed, and they jump the walls, they broke in and they took him violently. Cardinals hasn't seen or spoken to him since. One Sebastian chamorro, a Georgetown educated economist, is part of a prominent political family in Nicaragua. Days earlier, his cousin, Cristiano chamorro, who, coincidentally, was also running for president. Was about to hold a press conference outside her home. A police in riot gear showed up. You can see police pushed the crowd back. Chamorro was placed under house arrest. Over the next two months, Nicaragua's police force detained dozens of critics of the regime. Journalists and ultimately 7 of the leading candidates who plan to run for president against Ortega. Jose Miguel vivanco was a director for Human Rights Watch, a nonprofit advocacy group that's been reporting from inside Nicaragua for decades. A lot of dictators will at least go through the motions of pretending there's a legitimate election. He's not. Ortega's deliberate. And flagrant, crackdown, against peaceful opposition leaders is something without any present in Latin America since the 70s and 80s when most of the region was under military dictatorship. What makes it unprecedented? Since your theta controls Congress, he managed to pass legislation at the end of last year that sanctioned as treason, essentially any criticism of the government. So if you criticize the government, you can be thrown in jail right now. The language that they use is any damage to the superior interests of the nation. It sounds orwellian. Elian is completely orwellian..

"To citizenship for hundreds of oligarchs. Billions of pounds poured in and Russian tycoons went on a buying spree. Andre goryeb and oil billionaire bought winton Hurst, in London, only Buckingham Palace is larger. Roman Abramovich purchased the champion Chelsea soccer club. There was so much money Dominique Reeves says, it was hard to tell legitimate investors from crooked ones. The 2019 report found it was so easy to wash dirty cash in Britain. The Visa program was known as the laundromat. It sounds quite alarming what you found in this report. Everybody on it was in complete agreement that the United Kingdom was in danger of being complacent about the threat that Russia opposed in the round, one aspect of which was the fact that we had opened the door to allowing large quantities of Russian money to come into our country and to be invested here. Was this all a strategy for the oligarchs to sort of build influence here in the UK? I think the evidence is pretty clear that in some cases it was. It's a question of whether the influence is being used to try to soften up the responses of western democracies towards the actions of the Russian state. The oligarchs may live abroad in splendor, but most not all, owe their fortunes to Vladimir Putin. Putin can make them do practically anything, says Mikhail khodorkovsky wants the richest billionaire in Russia. He's now just a millionaire in exile in London. Khodorkovsky told us many of the oligarchs thrive and survive at the indulgence of the Kremlin. There's no doubt about it, he told us, Putin will give the order to recruit mercenaries, transfer money or spread fake news on social media. He told us Putin uses oligarch money to help fund the war in Ukraine, and the oligarchs, Putin's foot soldiers he calls them simply comply. I think because they feel a new surround their neck tied by Putin, he told us, I can only explain it this way. In 2003, an oil Titan dared to publicly criticize Putin. He was arrested and charged with fraud. The Lion of industry was tried and convicted in a courtroom cage and spent ten years in prison. Is that why more people don't speak out against Putin? Yes, he told us, Putin wanted to send a message that no one was allowed to criticize him. If you don't do what the Kremlin wants, you can easily be imprisoned. Told us the oligarchs links to the Kremlin should have set off alarms. Instead, the infusion of money ignited a London real estate boom. A government report found one of the easiest ways to turn dirty money into a legitimate asset is to buy a house. Incredibly grand stairways.

Stacey Abrams Compares Russian Invasion to U.S. Voting Rights
"What Stacey Abrams told Trevor Noah on The Daily Show? This week, I hope you're sitting down, you want to think this woman is normal? Stacey Abrams, the queen of rigged elections, she's suing the Georgia election commission. For the 2018 election, now I want to know how the media is going to cover Stacey Abrams lawsuit. Because I thought you weren't supposed to challenge the outcome of an election. Or you were a traitor. Or worse. You got to hear this exchange. Here's Stacey Abrams talking to Trevor Noah last night on The Daily Show. We are a stronger nation when we allow people to participate. And if we ever doubted that, the war that Putin is waging against Ukraine, president zelensky said I'm going to paraphrase him and probably poorly. He said, this isn't a war on Ukraine. This is the war on democracy in Ukraine. When we allow democracy to be overtaken by those who want to choose who can be heard, and those choices are not based on anything other than animus or inconvenience, then that is wrong. Wow. So Stacey Abrams compares Ukraine's invasion. To voting rights in America and. Is the media going to say a word about it?

LA Dodgers Pitcher Trevor Bauer Is Hit by Fresh Sex Abuse Claims
"This woman who was dating the LA Dodgers star pitcher, Trevor Noah, just signed a big $200 million contract and mid season last year, you saw the pictures of her face kind of bruised up and then her comments about the sex was so rough. Trevor, I met on on instagrams and private messaging each other before you know it. We were hooking up. And she showed bruises on, I think she had a black eye, you know, and she'd look like she'd been through the mill a little bit at the police precinct that night whenever she went and filed charges. But this girl destroyed Trevor, Trevor. Did I say Noah? Trevor Bauer, I might have said Trevor Noah because he's always mind that prick. Trevor Bauer, anyhow, she destroyed his season, could have been his whole career because the allegations were brutal. He punched my vagina, he choked me that he chucked me like passed out and Trevor Bauer is going. You guys don't know the whole story, okay? Then the text came out, the private text, in which they talked about. Having rough sex in which she loved it. And after the first time they had it, she wrote back one word more. And he's like, more of what, more of the choking. I got so it made me so excited when I was coming back to after you choked me. I love it. I want more. And he's going, this is the kind of girl this is. We agreed to it. We did it. It may not be your cup of tea or my cup of tea, but two consenting adults can do that.

But Trevor Noah is a moron. Cut number 21. And while most of the world is willing to wait and see, at least one person feels comfortable about making predictions, the Moderna CEO told the Financial Times he expects the existing vaccines to be less effective against the new variant of COVID. I think it's going to be a material drop. This was on vaccine efficacy. I just don't know how much because we still need to wait for the data, but all the scientists I've spoken to are saying this is not going to be good. So on the one hand, almost all the only cron cases have been mild so far. But on the other hand, the guy who stands to gain millions of dollars from new vaccines says we need new vaccines. Huh. If we don't make a new vaccine, this disease could be with us Ferrari. I mean forever. Sorry, I was thinking of something else. Now, look, I'm not saying that the CEO of Moderna is lying. I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying, I don't think he's the most objective source on this topic, you know? I'll wait to hear what neutral experts say about a new vaccine. People like public health officials or the CEO of Johnson & Johnson. I mean, he's got nothing a game 'cause nobody's gonna buy his vaccines either way, so I trust him. And also, if we do need a new vaccine for this new variant, it's not a big deal. All right, people. I see people online being like, we're going to get a new shot every year. There's no way. Yeah, yeah, you know what? Maybe to not die, you might need to take 15 minutes out of your year.

I don't knows into skews so even if you think mandates on necessary i'm seeing is buckle up all right when we come back where would junior is going to tell me what covert has taught him about life and the one and only dr anthony. She is joining me on the show. So don't go away. It's crazy how much we have to pay for outdated impersonal healthcare and even crazier that we all just accepted. It's time to face facts. Healthcare is backwards. Luckily there's forward a new approach to primary care that surprisingly personal and refreshingly straightforward.

"Costume if trump is reinstated in two thousand eight. Twenty one vicar. Democrats will accept it and allow our nation to. he'll be lot of whining still. There's just not gonna let it go. They're going to be whining infield months after. Everything's already decided anyway. Are you excited about beat out here in the field to watch jumbotron. Is he going to be on the dump who knows. I think it's parades it's always like a parade comes to your town. You show up. And i think more often not that trump rally is a parade so people have got to keep showing up so then what's next for trump supporters. Do they still have some leverage in the republican party or is this just political costs. Play akin to civil war reenactments for the next couple of years. Until i guess it all dies guys away i mean i think i think the story line is. The republican party has crumbled and is is so desperate to be loved by that minority of the population. That is all in on maga. Yes sadly they have. I think they have a ton of power. I think you see with kevin mccarthy you see him bending over backwards to perpetuate the big lie to try to make these folks happy and not mad at him. And i think that's what's i think. That's what's so sad. And what's so so scary. Is that what been passed on. Is like this is how you tell them the waters to get these folks on your side and so i think trump can leave. But they're still using the on the waters a tactic to get people on their side. So yeah those supporters. Hold power again. They're not the majority of people They're they're a minority but the the democracies been craft around the way in which they haven't outsized voice and you have craven politicians who are going to try to utilize however they can. And so so. Sadly i don't think it's just a laughable thing of like oh this is going to fade away. I think it's still such a potent part. That's quite literally pushing and controlling the the narrative of that whole party. So what i'm hearing from you clapper. Is that you and burger. We'll continue to go into the maga- verse for as long as there is one. Is that what's next for you to healthcare sustained right. Yeah i think. I have always been donald trump thank you. Wow thank you mr. trump's milk start everybody's like what is his healthcare plan. He hasn't said he has one. What is it guys. This is the plan. Thank you go to employ satirists for a long time. That's of. I think the jordan this there will be event and it for events but there will be events that gather this group of people that are essentially a trump rally but a little bit something else critical race theory a outrage anti mask outrage andy vacs event. It's that's gathering the same people using the same mechanisms like the probably even using the same facebook groups as like this is the trump magazine group in huntington beach. We're doing this thing. And everyone who's part of huntington beach trump. Nagy group will come to the anti vaccine thing so he may not be there physically. It didn't matter. They all went to the mike. Lindell thing he wasn't there. I think trumpism is around for the next four years. I think we need to change the trumpism but we're curious to continually at least track the conversation and see where they're at. So that's that's where we'll be heading. Well gentlemen. I can't thank you enough for putting your lives on the line repeatedly in the name of comedy while i get to kick it in an air conditioned building birth. Trevor noah that must be real. Nice ri- must be real real nice. I've been doing zoom chats here with us come up with us juris world of zoom. We're gonna get back together all right bone brothers.

"They're all going to wear a bunch of hats It's your not just somebody who does one thing on the daily show you do a bunch of things and so i do think that's part of the reason. This show has thrived during this because it's asked him everybody like where a bunch of hats be as creative as you can work fast. And luckily that's been the job since day one jordan. I wanted to ask you a particular. I mean you've crafted the space where you're going out talking to. The trump is your. He went to the attack on the capital We just saw this piece where you talked to some of the people who are still out there is this comedy central his way of getting rid of you. Wild in a head designer. They they they. They can't get rid of me. They've tried to cancel their website. Has made it really easy to attempt to erase me but I'm i'm here to stay baby. Seventy in the middle middle coleman to budget of business And i will come back with some content. I tell you that much. I mean i do i i mean i love seeing you. Sorta interact with these people but Is easier danger of having to make pieces. Were you know the the focus of it is the lookout crazy these people are. I just can't believe how crazy these people are. It's it's wild to see the way folks react but to be honest like that is that i think if people are shocked. What happened on january six. We've been chronically in that since day one. I do think like what i am proud of is like we go there. No offense any other late night shows but they weren't at the capital it being attacked by insurrectionist and talking to folks who i'd seen at other rallies talking about the same. Bs that they push their while they push there because the strongest most powerful man on earth is giving them permission to do that. And so i do think like it's been scary since day. One and you know there's always the conversations about what are we giving air to. And what have you i think when i go to those rallies. It wasn't us just trying to find the thing being said what were tapping into what was being said at those rallies like these are the conspiracy theories that are going on these are the the mindset this is the misinformation that's only coming from somebody like donald trump who has all the power but it's coming from media outlets like fox news o. a. n. that'll crafting this narrative. And so. I love finding the comedy in that. I love going places and seeing what people actually think actually being there but i do feel like it's important for people to see that it's not just one crazy guy in the oval office This this point of view spreads it's out there and it's become ideology and it's become identity and it's become an american identity that that sometimes we have to. We have to grapple with and we're not just going to grapple with it through one election so i'm going to ask a question that may be controversial but i wanna know who sucks up to trevor's the most amongst all you and does that really get more of your pieces on the air. Does he me. I just have to say. I think what trevor is doing during this moment in time is just unbelievable. No one can start a conversation. Like trevor noah. I am never seemed talent. Or intellect like that ever before in my life and a i am looking for a raise right about now though seriously i i did want to ask you. I love the pieces that you do that. You've done about fox news both the fox planning and you know talking to your janie. Piero in it seems like fox. News is kind of interesting. Is that an interesting point. Now it's at a kind of a it's having a crisis of identity it's got two major competitors for the first time. What what's your sense about where that is going. And what kind of comedy do you think you maybe can mind from that. I don't. i'm very curious to see what they do from here on out how fox shifts its narrative. I think in a way. They might get crazier because they've got to compete. So i mean. I don't think fox news is going anywhere In terms of lake you know the spinning the crazy narratives. And and yeah. I know that they've got some some competition lurking but You know my conservative family members. Don't know how to find those channels but they do know how to find fox news. So i think there's still a base there i don't know i mean i'm very interested in all of that and saying how it plays out. You know what it feels like. It feels like when mtv expanded to Mtv too and so it's like interviews. Where like the older geneticist went and tv too was the wilder crazy. Espn to look like that's only. That's what those networks feel like. They feel like the world. That's really extreme. And i think that. That's probably the clippers point about trumpism. He's created competition for fox news like that's that's unheard of adults. I wanted to ask you. I mean once again where this moment where a black women have saved us from oblivion and You know i have. We shown the appropriate. Thanks to stacey. Abrams kandla harrison and ao. See for pulling us back from the break of oblivion the way they have and you never will you can now kamla. We give her flowers as often as we can. Stacey abrams from home state. We we try. We can but at the end of the day. It's start looking for us to pull us out. That's the thing that is like 'cause i did the piece about you. Know black wounded alabama. Saving them in our talk about black women. Did this black women did that. Sort of people looking at black woman to save them but they're not doing anything and not put themselves in a situation in the first place also would benefit we give Who's hoping that because it's like women for somebody. You need to have justice for briana taylor. That's what you need to do. Infrastructure emphasizing blend. That's what needs to have some putting us in these situations. Make an essay is like it's like i don't want to be superman. Stop making me getting tired of the side of a build. Okay with messed up with these super villains danger and have to help you. It's it's it's a weird place where just like we know. Black women saved us again. Just like we didn't do it for you. We saved ourselves you. You were udrea. Collateral benefit added.

I you know i was in heidelberg for an hour and i saw please. Four white police officers with their knees in the back of a black man who was screaming at the top of his lungs help. I wasn't in heidelberg for an hour but the thing is that i didn't have to comment on it. I didn't have to account for it right. In some ways. I could go back to my flat and breathe. It was like a moment when i was way out of the country. I could exhale you know. Because i wasn't there black problem you know. I was walking around with my american passport right right.

You know america thinks of itself as as never never land is always you know. We're full of lost boys and loss girls. We don't want to be responsible and held accountable for anything so we have to tell the truth and here. We are in a moment of moral reckoning or the country can be otherwise but every single time we try to give birth to a new nation. The umbilical cord of white supremacy is wrapped around its neck. So we have to tell truth. We have to be truthful and be really responsible midwives so that we can give birth. Finally to a new country that is generally multiracial democracy. Our history says.

"Or prescribed. Fire is the method of burning certain land to reduce wildfire hazards. This method was developed by native americans thousands of years ago these low intensity fires called cultural burnings at built much of california's fourth without controlled burns force would have become overgrown in unmanageable overgrown force. Create a lot of fuel in the form of dryer dead. Plants as european colonization grew in california native tribes were banned from engaging cultural burning and over time state and federal authorities focused on quickly extinguishing any wildfires for example the us force service infamous. Ten am policy so that any fires that occurred must be put out by ten. Am the next day. This limit on fires did little to reduce the fuel that was growing on the forest. And even with these policies. California's still has fuel loads waiting to be burned from centuries ago making prescribed burning far more tedious and expensive than previously thought. Yeah you heard that right one thing that would help out a lot is if california had been doing more controlled burns which is basically when you burn a little to prevent a lot from burning later. This is the same way you meet your college friend for coffee. So then you don't have to have a three hour dinner with them and you know you have to admit it's pretty unbelievable that california is now doing what they outlawed the native people from doing. I guess it's kinda hard though to kick somebody off their land and take their advice at the same time. This is marred property. Now you savage. Oh also before you go do you have any landscaping tips. Like any like mulching techniques or things that i have to learn now. Obviously it's bad enough that wildfires burning millions and millions of trees. What makes it in. Especially big problems for people is that we've been giving the fires a lot more of our stuff to bunn since one thousand nine hundred sixty percent of all. The homes of the united states have been built in the wildland urban interface. We've got houses in places we didn't use to have houses and that puts people and and property risk as more are built near wild lands more of them burn fifty years ago. Wildfires destroyed a few hundred structures per year across the united states. Now it's more than three thousand in california alone. More than six million houses are in wild areas because urban housing is so expensive instead of voiding these high risk zones californians continue to build in a tinderbox of grass and trees boxed by windy canyon instead smokey bear in the middle of the lids needed smokey bear in the middle of suburbia. You do yourself a favor. Smokey ban you stay out in the suburbs. We don't want karen calling the cops on you. Hello nine one one. There's a bear in my neighborhood. And he's he's brown but yes one big problem is that more and more people building homes in the middle of the forest and let's place the blame where it belongs here with the keebler elves. Yeah these guys made living in the forest. Look so cool. That started doing it. You get to be in a tree making cookies all day. Sounds great but guess what. Those cookies are covered the beatles. And if we're honest here guys. One of the biggest issues is human arrogance. We just think we can build wherever we go. You know wherever we build a house. That's our land now. It's the same way people in florida are always surprised when alligators show up. Oh there's an alligator in my backyard. No there's a person in that alligators house but the good news is we can fix these problems. Yeah believe it or not. The wildfires don't have to happen the way they have been. We can stop them if we take action to reduce climate change. We can stop them if we maintain the forest and we can stop them if we build an environmentally sensitive ways.

I don't know if you've heard twenty twenty was a crazy year Off the pandemic. we had the election. We have to uprisings that. Occurred after the murders of george floyd ahmed. Aubrey brianna taylor. I needless to say we were country. That needed some therapy especially black people in the black community access to mental health. Care is lacking black and hispanic. Children are less likely to get mental health care then white kids and studies show that irritability and the average white teenager as often labelled as depression. That same behavior is more likely to be seen as disruptive black latino children and doctors say that can lead to feelings of hopelessness at a very young age. We have a stigma in the black community when it comes to dealing with mental health black students say where they come from it shameful to talk about anxiety depression and trauma making the crisis worse. Not enough african american therapists today. Only four percent of psychologists are black. It's a serious issue and then have insulted therapist who don't understand you. That could make matters even worse. Like imagine wasting half you'll session explain what while out means like you'd have to stop every ten minutes talking to a white their pets to break down some of the damage or imagine how awkward it gets telling your white therapist state urine therapy because white people but that'd be like the road runner into another coyote about why i oughta i don't have time to break this down to segment that we did on the show that was only six and a half minutes in. There's a lot more to explore with this issue and that's why we have to go on the scenes so to help me do that. I'd like to bring into wonderful wonderful people from the daily show. I saw these people in the hallways numerous times before the shutdown i. I'd like to introduce ashton womack. He's a producer in researcher for the daily show with trevor noah ashton day to you sir from parts unknown wherever you are whatever is gonna stay parts unknown. Because i don't trust nobody on the internet. Woulda you're literally on the internet right now talking to but that's okay. I just heard is that of one of our many emmy nominated writers on the daily mail x. What is happening. How roy now. It's my job to take this topic and kind of merge. We're youtube came in because you both have different entry points but you all are intrical part in how the show is created on the day to day. The best thing the best analogy. I can give to these two for the listeners. you know you have a producer. Researching you have a writer. The producer researcher. He goes in shops for the groceries. The writer is the schiff with is that analogy. Does that make sense at all. Does it even a great analogy. If i bring the popcorn apples the milk and i tell to make me a great essay. What the fuck is this is. Two dollars do popcorn apples and milk. But i grew up on. Okay yeah that sounds wild. But that's literally how the show is made. One person has an idea or an issue or problem ashton. We'll go to trevor and the producers and go. Hey mentally often the people. We need a hug. Nobody's organising the people they could give you a professional and the x. Goes okay. I'll figure out a way to make their funny. You go sit down somewhere and have yourself milk and apple so ashton. So how did you settle on black mental health and clearly the pitch was so good that we actually put it on the show. so what. What is your entry point into this topic. The entry point was actually. I wasn't gonna. I wasn't going to submit that idea at all i had. I had my pat. It was already done. I was at the end of my pack. And i was looking at it and i it was. It was a topic. That's been in my head. And i was gonna topics i was talking about in. I was like if i'm going to submit a packet. I'm going to talk about something. I'm not gonna talk about what everybody is not necessarily what everybody's talking about but i'm gonna put my flavor on it. What is something that is deeply inside of me that i wanna talk about an mental health issues like. Let's say mental health issues. Some had overcome. I think that's something many people everyone in this country faces. Everybody on planet faces a mental health issues.

Well that's nice. But when are you going to look respectable. Trevor when are you gonna go back to business hair. What is business hair. What does that mean. And so i even had to question mount conditioning to understand these things you know does. Does this determine what conversation i can and cannot have with you know for so for so many conversations in america and in many parts of the world why a person is treated the way they are is often down to how they addressed. Why did cops do that to him. While he was wearing a hoodie you never know with a hoodie. And it's like the hoodie. And so i don't know maybe there's a part of me. That defiantly goes yeah. You know what. I i want to interview the president of the united states wearing a hoodie. You know. I want to talk to leaders. I wanna talk to business executives. I wanna talk to the most powerful people wearing a hoodie because a lot of people out there who these and a lot of those people are judged because they wear hoodies highway hoodies. And so i go. You know what little hoodie being a space. Where doesn't necessarily be long until it does nip the hair be in space. That doesn't belong until the does and that became something that i thought of doing because i was just like yemen. This is who i am. I was like if you don't accept me for who i am then. I don't want you to accept me. And so that's been really liberating journey to be on as a human being. And i think the pandemic stripped a lot of people of that pump and ceremony. You know we're at home in sweats. Compu- fancy. I know how you live now. I see the trash behind. You and i think that's a good thing. I think it's a little bit of society that's been you know. A little bit of the sheen on the varnish has been taken off we see each other a little bit more for better and for worse and so for myself. I don't know that. I'll go back to the suits and the leather shoes. And if i do. I do and if i don't i don't but i will no longer think that this is something i have to do. You know this is not a. This is not a measure of professionalism. I can do my job regardless of how you see me. I can do it. And so s. Going back to the studio. I mean you know i. I have a few surprises my sleeve as to what that looks like. You know. i'm working on a few things with the team. And we really excited. Because i want it to be intentional. You know voice people. Everyone goes like when are you going back. Are you going back. Where are you going back. And said i'm never going back. I'm only moving forward when i was doing it. Man i remember coming out in this purple jacket with ripped jeans and they called an organization called maggot. I think the organization was called and they did focus groups to show me that america didn't want me and ripped jeans. You know. I remember how important that was. How has the daily show been for you. As far as controlling you or approving or disapproving. How how they dealt with you during this pandemic well. The great thing is there is no the daily show myself and my team. There is no overlord in that regard. There's nobody who who looks over us. Editorially or no you know. We have a fact checker to make sure that. What we're saying is factually correct. You know ironically with a comedy show that has a fact checker and then there's so many new shows that just say whatever they want but yeah we do. We have a fact checker. And that's the main thing we focus on. I'm still trying to make sure that represents who i am. And so you know send you you know me. I'm pretty certain when you watch the show. You're like yeah. This is trevor. He's performing but this is trevor. You don't like who is this guy. It's pretty much me. And so i've been really lucky that the that comedy central has gone. No we trust you go ahead. We trust you do it. You know so. They don't go dress like this. Don't dress like that your hair. You know. They just go. We trust you do this thing. And due to the best of your ability and so what that has enabled me to do is succeed by my own sword or die by my own sword and that's been liberating and frightening at the same time and i love it. I was passing him all the other day. And i had a strange memory. I looked up at this building. And it said sears. When i was little those building say sears and roebuck because those two names were locked together. You couldn't have one without the other. You've mentioned your executive producer a couple times. How important is that team. My team helps me to not make the wrong decisions. I think that's what a great team is. Also helping you do. I don't think every decision i have is correct and thankfully my team. Sometimes be like whoa. That's completely wrong. I'm like You think so that terrible like okay you know. I'm not going to be perfect every single day. No do i wish to be. And that's what's nice about. Having a team is that we trust each other and trying to do something together to you and your ep argue disagree and when you disagree how do you decide what goes on the air gentleman's flange tonight we don't argue that much so as the showrunner and surprisingly we have very similar taste. I heard the same joke where we go making the show for people rights. And she's like yeah we make him the show for people and that's how much we're making the show for people. Sometimes i have a few writers or to politics. You know they get too deep into the politics they forget that making the show for the people but they're super smart and the great and i go like what were we gonna bring that back a little bit you know. Some of my rights is only wanna tell jokes. they don't want to go into anything deep. And that's fine as well. Let's let's add a bit of brevity into this thing and let's have a conversation but in terms of with myself and jen. I'm very lucky that we. I think that's why we work. Well together is we. We both love to love. We both love to have meaningful conversations and we both like to create a good show. You know. don't want you to watch the daily show every day thinking that oh old. Black people are suffering every day. And there's no other existence for a black person illman..
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah: Ears Edition
"trevor noah" Discussed on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah: Ears Edition
"Priority because earth is our priority at fedex. We knew sustainability. Means a lot to you and we feel the same way. Our goal is to be carbon neutral by twenty forty. We call it priority earth fedex. Were now meets next. You know your show to a fan. Your show is kind of like friends. You have this family this group of friends you know you have joey and rachel you do say jordan. I knew roy because he's a standup dizzy. Ronnie mike talk about your team. Your little comedy family your correspondents. That's something that the daily show does very well. Not every late night hosts has that family of friends. Oh yeah that's that's one of the things that i loved and i adopted from john stewart. You know that was the the relationship that you can create with people who have differing points of views and the ability to showcase different points of views or ideas on your show. You know i myself. As trevor was a contributor i came on the show and i would contribute my opinion to the daily show and john stewart would be as my foil and so one thing i loved was that relationship and so i wanted to continuously create that and so you know that that that that was the team and and so. We've had new additions to the team. But roy has been there from the very beginning from day one. I remember watching comedy. And i was called roy out like come on out to new york for an audition and he came out on the night before he was doing a set of the comedy cellar and i went to watch him and immediately after the. You've got the job and he's like but i'm gonna come to the addition to ours. Yeah you'll come with you got the job. Same thing happened with michael kosta. I went out to. La is him performing us guys. Got the job. And that was one of those instances where with michael costa executive producer. Jeff who was like this guy special house like is he though. She's like this guy special man he's got something and i happened to be in la. And so i went to the comedy clubs to watch him. He didn't even know i was there. I was like all right. This guy's got it. let's go you know. And so all of these people have been interesting in the way we come to meet them. How i come to know them as human beings ronnie chang. I met in edinburgh scotland doing a comedy festival. That's how i met. Ronnie chang. And i was like. This dude is one of the craziest funny people i've ever met. And i remember saint-german scotland. When i don't know how but one day i hope i get to work with you and so let me get your number. And let's see the world takes us. And then i think two or three years later he got a call from me saying yo. Do you wanna try something crazy. And then ronnie did and he joined the show and so the journey has been wonderful. You know dessi lighted who's just become like one of my bulwarks. On the shows which i know she can smash anything she. She's one of the most talented performers and actresses. I've ever come across. You know dul say one of the smartest people fluent in spanish all of the people on the show have the about them. There's a different element that they used to touch the show with. And i really appreciate that. Because i think it makes the show a little bit more dynamic in that. It's not always trevor. Just telling you what he thinks or how he sees the world. I've got all of these correspondents and my team. And my family as you say where they can also give an opinion and we can have a fight as friends and we can talk about what we were experiencing in the world. Does your correspondents. Because i know a stand up i think yeah do they. All come in the writer's room. Do they participate in all that stuff. No they will. They will so. They'll they participate. Oftentimes they will be the the the originator of the idea or if it comes together we around. We'll have an idea and then they will go with writers and they will continuously punch it up and writes it for themselves. They'll create the thing that they will then end up putting on screen. And so i've. I've always been really focused on making sure that correspondents are comfortable with what they are portraying on scene because it's politics i don't want somebody going on screen and then just you know selling themselves down the river. No i want you to be confident in what you're saying and so you know. Even if you're playing an arch character played the way you'd like to play it. Let's get this thing going and let's let's let me give you the best possible platform in the same way that i was afforded. Here's something i've noticed as a comic and as a fan but first of all. Where are you sitting. Where is that if we turn the camera around. That's the corner of your apartment. What is that. Yeah this is. This is a corner little spot in my apartment where i had this place because i wanted to play video games here and then read books here and i was like. I want my little nook to do that. By tiny little space in new york was just like my little sanctuary and the pandemic hits. And then i was going around my apartment looking for places that didn't have an echo. Didn't have like just like sound like sirens bouncing of windows. Or you know what i mean. And then i was like oh i guess i guess i can give up like my little reading my little sanctuary Maybe it's partially. Because this is where i feel the safest this is where i feel cozy in my vibe and this is where i feel like it's me and you know that's all it is it's me and it's you there's nothing else that's happening here and and so. Yeah that's that's how this little spot came to be and it's tiny. It'll and it's cramped and i like it because it makes me go like no this is. This is the intimacy i'm looking for. You're gonna miss those hoodies when you have to go back go back. When do you put on the suit and the leather shoes and go back. I might never. I might never put on the suit over neither shoes or anything. I don't know you know that..
The Argument
"trevor noah" Discussed on The Argument
"Be very bad jokes. We showed a clip of this interview. At times opinion event that was just for subscribers which you should become if you're not one yet that was the sample the first quarter and this is the whole game. I hope you enjoy it as much as i did. Also laugh once. Listen for that moment. Because i've already told my friends about it. Trevor noah thank you so much for joining us. Thank you so much for having me here jamie so i wanna start with your own story because you have hugely successful career in south africa and elsewhere before the daily show. But why are you interested in doing the daily show which. It's a very specific type of american comedy. I don't know that. I was interested in doing a specific type of american comedy. I was interested in doing comedy. I was always inspired by john when he i started. Remember telling him you know it was nice to see that somebody can live in a different country and bring different perspectives to. What's happening in that place. And so i really love that idea and that space. And i think when i appreciate it with with john stewart was to the daily show. He didn't make it a. You have to do our thing. He was like no. I want to hear your thing. What is your what is your opinion. How do you see the world. I think it was one of those things around with like. Yeah i would like to be able to try to do something here and see if i can do. It's comedy is in many ways culturally specific and i think especially political comedy is culturally specific. I'm married to a new zealander. I have attempted to watch comedians. Who talk about new zealand politics and i don't get it. I'm sure it's very funny. How has that been something. That you've confronted are working through. How american politics can be funny in a very specific way. What i think. I think to example the thing that a lot of americans don't realize the whole world is always aware of american politics because american politics always involves the world so in the rest of i am i am very sorry very sorry just on behalf of america i remember right. After the twenty sixteen election. I went to new zealand and a bunch of people are. So what's what happened was like if i knew it's good and it's bad i mean you know there's many countries around the world who go like. Oh america helped us with this and then this countries on the where they like. Oh america invaded us or interfered in our country. So either way though. Good or bad american politics will affect you regardless of way you are in the world so i think in doing comedy about american politics. You come to the space with general awareness. You know most people around the world know who america's president is they have a general sense of what the conflicts are like. I don't think i'll be able to go to like a random country. Do comedy there necessarily. Because i i wouldn't have any familiarity with the history of comedy ono. There politics was there an adjustment period though doing especially comedy for the daily show where oh definitely grew up watching it with john stewart and this is comedy for people who know what the filibuster is and who care about the filibuster is what was that adjustment process like. Well you see. That's the misconception. That i had when i started is i thought i had to do comedy and create a satirical news show for people who know what the filibuster is. And we'll we'll just learned what the filibuster is only got here a few years ago. Then i realized that no. That's not what i was actually here to do. And that's not what i'm trying to remember. Starting on the show going. John stewart didn't start with the filibuster. He started the journey and a in a conversation with his audience. And so i realized that my job was not to continue a conversation that had been ongoing but rather start a new one and so that started to become change for me. Is i mean every sold as if you don't know anything about what a filibuster is or isn't i would rather tell a brand new story each day we've already had before we started recording do very critical hair conversation that all biracial people must have by law. And so you are biracial but we grew up in very different context. Send you've talked. Before about how america was a weirdly familiar place for you because it sort of felt like home relation to blackness but not was that similar different for being biracial where the biracial experience in south africa is very different from the bayerische experience of cincinnati ohio. Right i can only imagine what would really makes it different. Is this in america. I think one of the worst things that ever happened in conjunction with slavery itself is that slavery was also not just it wasn't just rubbing people of their autonomy it wasn't just rubbing people of their freedom and their rights. It also robbed their stories. It robbed people of their families abroad people of the histories. It rubbed people of their culture. And i never really appreciated culture until i came to america and met so many people who would be enamored by culture. You know cultures is weird as an operating system that you you haven't. You didn't even realize you habits. I grew up in south africa as a mixed race person. Fine and then some people would think i'm colored when they would meet me in our country that means people who are descendants of people who generally have my skin tone and so people think i'm caught it and then and then i would speak in. They'd be like where. Are you from. And i grew up in a cossack culture. You know so my family's closer and as plus people we have ideas of what the world is and we grew up a certain way and we live a certain way we have shed identity and the operating system but what culture does is. It doesn't make you rely solely on your appearance. You have an attachment to something else. As opposed to just what people tell you you all on especially government whereas in america i mean you come to this place where it's like all right. Got the one drop rule and this is you and that is you. And you can't be more than one thing would want you in a specific box. This is what you saw And so that's really interesting. It's helped me realize how much we sold on the ideas of what makes people who they are as opposed to who they are and then we come to realize that unfortunately a lot of the time our experiences negatively. A lot of time are the things that actually creates another type of culture and so you know in america especially being black a lot of time many of the commonalities come with a certain struggle in certain pain and they're on new joys that have been created especially in african american culture but it is unfortunate to see how many of the things that connect us as a people are shed right exactly and it's been interesting to see. I always make this joke about when people talk about the black community that it makes it sound like we all get on zoom meeting just like lebron yelling at maxine waters about something that's shared oppression which causes i think a sense of similarity of experience. That may have been true but is less true. You know. I grew up as my sister and i were the only mixed race people. We knew my mom is white and people would always ask like. Oh it's a lovely that you're taking care of these children and she'd be like their mind but like what extent do you think in your experience at there is still such thing as pan-africanism as a united experience of people of african descent. I think it will always exist for a few reasons you know. I think one people are looking to connect to an identity and a story. I also think there is a large attachment that comes with being oppressed in a similar way. You know when when a whole continent is colonized when a whole continent experiences. The effects of that went a whole continent is oppressed. That's shared story and so everyone is going like. Hey do you have this. You have this. You know it's like when all your neighbors are flooded when when you'll building an apartment building goes through the blackout. You will come outside and you look at new. You have shan't experience and then you start to in a strange way. Become more neighborly. You go like oh you also don't have power you don't have power all of a sudden there's this community of not having power and so when i think of pan-africanism i i think that will be something that exists for as long as there is a shared commonality that goes beyond just the continent itself but a certain challenge that people are going through a certain ideal that people are aspiring to and then maybe on a deep level a certain cultural..

Bees in the Netherlands Trained to Detect COVID-19 Infections

Behind the Desk: The Story of Late Night
Late Night TV, Politics, and Donald Trump
"Behind the desk the story of late night is sponsored by noon. Donald trump was winning. He was winning all the counties that at he was winning the electoral college. I remember thinking. Wow it's real now. That moment for me was when the daily show with. Trevor noah started a lot. That was new started at that moment. An avalanche of politically charged humor came tumbling down late night television because no public figure since the start of late night in the nineteen fifties at ever ignited that combination of comedy inspiration and pure rage that donald trump did when he descended an escalator and ascended to the presidency. I'm bill carter and this is behind the desk. The story of late night in this edition. We're going to talk about. How late night got in a lather over. Donald trump and politics always attuned to whatever issues were dominating. The news with the president like this late night. Comedy found a new political gear full throttle and trump humor pretty much dan the late night landscape this morning. Donald trump asserted executive privilege over the mall. Report executive privilege of course is actually trumps favorite privilege right after a white male and mar-a-lago handicap bathroom was. You might expect. Trump has been tweeting a lot today. And you can tell. He's getting word because one of his post said they're finding biden votes all over the place in pennsylvania wisconsin and michigan so bad for our country. Do they're not finding votes. They're counting them briefly over the weekend. People started to notice that his hair is suddenly now white. it's completely white. The carpet now matches the supremacy

"Sunday is mother's day and we're going to listen back to some great stories about mothers. we begin with. trevor noah. Host of comedy central's the daily show. He south african the son of a black mother and white father. Their relationship was legal. Under apartheid which mandated separation of the races noah grew up during the apartheid and post apartheid errors. He became famous in south africa as a comic and tv personality and spent years traveling. The world doing standup. He talked terry in two thousand sixteen. So racial identity is a big part of your comedy. When you're doing stand up. Your father is white. Your mother is black. Your father is i. Think of swiss and german ancestry. Do i have that right. And your mother sosa casa. Thank you. I don't think i can do that. And i know your mother was jailed briefly. I hope in south africa. I assume four for opposing apartheid for doing some kind of dissenting action. Yes well the sensing action was being with a white person. Who was the white person your father. The s he was jailed so no no no. no white. people didn't get jailed for that. That was Why people were warned not to do it again. But then if you're a black person called fraternizing across country boundaries. Then then you'd be arrested but my mom. My mom opposed the system as a whole so. She never let that stand in her way. You know and i. I think i pick up a lot of i. I have a lot of my mom's demeanor is that she never even even when she told me the story. She wasn't an angry she just went. It's it's a stupid thing. And so i refuse to listen to. Its but she never came at it from a place of anger. If anything should defied it and she didn't she didn't give it the credibility that it was trying to create in in the world

Concerts Are the Best Kind of Medical Experiments
"Without herd immunity society is bound to start reopening so over in the uk researches trying to figure out what kind of events people can go to without causing the virus to stop spreading out of control again and the way they are trying to figure it out just maybe the greatest science experiment of all time live. Music is starting to make a comeback as a way to track krona virus progress. The english city of liverpool hosted a one off music festival yesterday to test whether such events spread the virus about five thousand people ditched face coverings and social distancing rules to attend outdoor event. And they just had to test negative for covert i and agree to follow up. Tests and five days data from the festival will be used by the governments of research program to help understand the effects of crowds on the spread of the virus. And the festival's organizers says. He hopes the project will help get outdoor events back on the calendar this year all year a concert. That's my kind of medical experiment of louis. Pasteur in bullshit with a dog. The best part of it is no one court covert but sadly one hundred people did. Come down with indian. But that's right. Thousands of people showed up to a concert and the purpose was to see see if they would catch covert which must be honest. Doesn't seem like a real idea right. That seems like some are ruled that happened. You can get it right fire and if you ask me i think an experimental concert is a great idea. Not just for covert. I mean you can test for all sorts of things you can test for the effect of constantly dropping. The beats can finally find out. Does that hurt. The beat can the be even feel pain and will the beat be able to go on. One of the most here is how many volunteers they got to submit to medical experimentation. Just because they wanted to see a concert. I mean you realize this means. They could ramp up experimental on everything just based on. Who's performing can we. Please take your kidneys. We need to test something. What no we'll give you tickets to be on say. Oh my god take them both. Toby answer their mind telling their my kidneys. Maybe she'll say about the

That's what you've gone with. You know. I don't understand chatting to this woman downtown. Though the day she came up to me and she wanted me to see something. I don't know what though she was like. Oh my god look over ther look over. What's she's like. Oh the other. Look at that. Her and i said her she's like no har har two of them. I understand nothing. Even the small words just pronunciation small things that. Get you by for instance. I pronounce the opposites of ankle. As aren't i say my arts out here. You say my aunt which to me is an insect which made me look like an ass when my friend told me his aunt died house. Like so what. There's tons of those out there way to end the friendship. I couldn't get helped the other day when searching for a battery for my remote control. Because that's what. I say battery small form of power in america.
