You're listening to Comedy Central. People are still today talking about Snoop Dogg smoking weed before his super Bowl performance, which I don't even understand, like how anyone would even go like this is anything of anything to write about. But they're like, Snoop Dogg smoked weed before he's I was shocked that Snoop Dogg ever not doesn't smoke weed, do you know what I mean? Because to me, that would just seem like more like a top up. It's
not like that. They made it seem like Snoop dog smoked for the first time, like the super Bowl was about a stock. Then he's like, oh ship, because let me try this. Like this is Snoop Dogg. He's the guy of the first Also, it's it's legal, right as I think people don't you in California, it is completely legal for Snoop dog to do that. Also, he is Snoop Dogg. It was legal for him before it was legal. That's like he's the guy of weed. Like him and weed at like old friends from way back would be
like did you see Snoop smoking? I would be shocked if Snoop didn't smoke weed. I was actually wondering I was like, what if we don't know who Snoop is? We know Snoop on weed? Snoop, you know, like that man that smokes so much weed that we think we know him, But what if that's not him? Like what if like we know, you know what I mean, he smokes his weed and then like he does his things. But what if he doesn't smoke. He he's like a totally different person. You know, he'd be like, oh, Ship's
Snoop Dogg. And then he hasn't smoked and he's like, hello, young man, get to see you all again. And you're like, Ship, what are you talking like that? Snooping's like, oh, hold on, I didn't she because coming to you from the heart enough times for ware In New York City, the only city in America, It's the Daily Show. Here's edition tonight, the War on Books, Black Athletes Conquer the Cool, and this is the Daily Show with Hey, what's going on? Everybody?
Welcome to the Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah. Let's jump straight into today's headlines. We kick things off with Russia's potential invasion of Ukraine, which at this moment in time is a little like a package sent via the post office. It could either come tomorrow or never. There's no way
to know. The Biden administration says the invasion is all but certain and has warned all US citizens to leave Ukraine immediately, which I mean, you'd think would be obvious at this point, you know, But you gotta admit there's always that one person who needs the danger spelled out for them. It's dangerous, can't you see. You know, it's like the people in in horror movies. Honey, there's an evil clown at the door selling knives. I'm gonna let
him in. See what happens. But over the last couple of days, they have also been some promising signs of de escalation, like, for instance, Russia said that it would continue negotiations and it claimed that it had pulled some of its troops away from the border. Right, that's a really good thing. And there's no way to know why this is happening, But I will say I'll probably put
some of my money on this. Just across from Russia, in the city of Mario, pol some Ukrainians are preparing basic training for the whole family, learning first aid to treat gunshot and shrapnel wounds, and weapons training on a seven six two caliber a K forty seven is Valentina Konstantinovskaya. The seventy nine year old is a retired accountant and a great grandmother. I'm ready to shoot if something happens, i will defend my home, my city, my children. Wow.
I've never seen someone who looks so adorable sounds so threatening. When the ship goes down, I will headshut a bitch from three yards. Some lemon in your tea. This woman is a badass, though, you know. Actually, if you ask me, I think this is a brilliant deterrent to have granny's on the front line. No, think about it. Think about it right, If you're part of the elite Russian invasion squad, there's no way in hell you want to get taken
down by a seventy nine year old woman. I mean, if that happens, they're probably gonna have to make something up to tell your Emily. I'm sorry to say your son was killed by very strong young men, definitely not old woman who learned to use gun four days ago. Oh and just one more thing before you get too attached to a granny Rambo. The militia that's training her in that news clipper. Well, they're reportedly far right outer nationalists with neo Nazi tendencies. So just a friendly reminder
everything you love will eventually disappoint you. But let's move on, because while Russia is threatening to violate Ukraine's sovereignty, they're already violating the rules of the Olympics and it's causing a huge controversy in the world of figure skating, with the world watching her every move. This morning, fifteen year old Russian figure skater Kamilla Valieva is set to take to the ice despite testaying positive for an illegal performance
enhancing substance before the Games. A positive drug test is going to be on the ice here in a few hours, skating at the Olympic Games. I cannot believe I just said that sentence. DIOC now saying that Valieva claims there was a mix up with her grandfather's heart medication. International Court deciding she can still compete while they investigate further. In response, the IOC saying if vali Ava lands in the top three, there will be no medals handed out
until the investigation is complete. I can't believe they caught someone cheating and they're still letting her compete while they investigate. More like guys, it almost feels like the investigation is not about whether she cheating or not. It's almost like the real investigation here is, Okay, let's let's see what these drugs can do. Let it rip. Come on, let's just see. We just what we want to know, right,
everybody wants to know. I also know that nobody believes her excuse right, that she accidentally took her grandfather's heart medication. But I do. I believe her because I know what it was like growing up. Me and my family, we always had a big bowl of loose pills all mixed together. It's an easy mistake to make this when yours. I don't know. I know my estrogen has changed grandma, but I don't know. Meanwhile, everyone's obsessed with this girl and
the pills. That's all everyone's talking about there, Like this fifteen year old took the pills and she did this. Yeah, everyone's focusing on No one is focusing on the fact that her grandpa took her medication. Now he's dominating Bingo
at the old Folks Home. I will say, you know, like one of the things that shocked me about The story is that I've always pictured performance enhancing drugs and steroids for things that you need like powerful, do you know what I mean, Like like extreme power, sprinting, lifting. I never thought i'd see the day where a figure skater would be injecting themselves, just like alright, let's go now.
A lot of people are scratching their heads. A lot of people have been asking this online, saying why why is it that this Russian skate zon is still being allowed to compete in the Olympics when she carry richardson? Remember her she was kicked out of the Olympics after
she smoked wheat. Yeah, but apparently the reason for this, and I just found this out, is that one difference is that if you're a minor in sports and you get caught doping, they give you more leeway because you're young and you're impressionable and you may not be in control of what you're putting into your body. Yeah, I didn't know that. That's a pretty big loophole in the anti doping rules. Like I'm not saying Russia had this minor takes are always on purpose because they knew she
wouldn't get in trouble. But if they did do it on purpose. I mean, you gotta admit that's a pretty slick move. You know. It's the same reason drug dealers put kids out on the corner like ship. The worst thing you get a juvie. Come on, man. But again, I'm not saying that Russia did this on purpose. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying, don't be shocked when later this week they used fifteen year olds to invade Ukraine. All right, that's it for the headlines. Let's jump straight
into our main story. And the story it's about America's favorite pastime, the culture Wars. Oh they're back, baby. You see, every few months, especially before elections, politicians in this country, they have to find a reason to rile people up so that they can drum up support and distract voters from the fact that they haven't solved any of their real problems. Yeah. I know the bridges keep collapsing, and I know you don't have jobs, but we gotta focus
on the real threat. People are using the wrong bathrooms, vote for me, and what always happens is the same. Right, the problems pop up, and then after the elections, everything is magically not a problem anymore. Like remember kneeling during the anthem. Huge problem before the election is huge. Then after the election suddenly it's over. Even Eminem can do it. Yeah, war on Christmas every year, huge problem, huge than the elections. And then suddenly we can say Merry Christmas again. Remember
when Mr Potato had lost his penis. It's a problem, it's a huge problem. It's not society we're sharing down that. Then the election came and now he's got a huge hog because one you've ever seen its kids in the eyes with the back. Mr Potato heads back. Well, now we're getting close to another election, so that means it's time to find out what the latest fight is all about in another installment of Culture Wars, Moral Combat, Cultural World. So the new culture war raging across America is over
books a k a. Movies without the cool sound effects. Yeah, I always think the movies are better. I'm gonna read a book and then I gotta do it myself. Pew pew, pew pew, said Harry Potza. Not even though most kids only read books in school to hide their erections, some parents and politicians have suddenly gotten very concerned about which books are available in schools and they're dealing with this problem that they invented, by the way, in a time
honored way, with a good old fashioned book ban. According to The New York Times, the pace at which groups of parents and officials and lawmakers are challenging books in school libraries has reached to speed that many haven't seen in decades. Just since the start of the school year, the American Library Association has tracked more than two hundred and thirty book challenges nationwide, parents and school officials banning
books at an unprecedented rate. Record requests to nearly a hundred Texas districts found that during the first four months of this school year, parents made at least seventy five formal complaints, compared to only one file during the same period last year. Virginia School District is filling library books off of the shelves, and some board members say they want to burn them. I want to look at every book that you guys, A can't you have every book
that is brought pull out of circulation. I'm sure we've got hundreds of people out there that would like to see those books before we burn them. They want to burn books, burned books. We're not in the nineteen hundreds. We're living in two We shouldn't be burning books. We have air friars and microwaves and all kind of cool ship. Now we could be like filling the books. You know, we could be lightly roasting the books. Put some butter and some salt. Oh you taste that book, Now that's
food for thought. See what I did there. But yeah, that's the situation right now. Parents across the country are trying to get books banned from certain schools right And I'll be honest, if I was a kid in school right now, I would jump in and use this outrage to my advantage. Yeah. The parents would will be there, like, we have to get these books off the shelves. Yeah, and don't forget the trigonometry textbooks and the yearbook where
I had that weird rash on my face them all. Now, I'll be honest, people, I don't know if these culture warriors have thought this through, because making something forbidden just makes teenagers wanted more. Think about it. Any time any time parents would say something would make them mad, what would happen The kids would want to do it even more. Yeah, now they're gonna be like, no books for these kids. You keep this up, and soon reading books is going
to be the new dating a black guy. And look, they have always been, Don't get me wrong, They've always been some parents who've wanted books pulled from schools and libraries. That's always been a thing, you know, like conservatives wanted to ban Harry Potter for promoting witchcraft, Liberals want to ban Huckleberry Finn for using the N word. Mocking birds
want to burn that book about killing them. But recently, recently, the number of books being targeted has gotten out of control, and the types of books that are being targeted now are very revealing. Books on ray, gender and sexuality are disappearing from school shelves, books about coming of age and reckoning with real world problems like depression, gender politics, and
racial injustice, history like the Holocaust or slavery. One Tennessee District banning Mouse, a Politzer Prize winning graphic novel about the Holocaust. One tells a story of school segregation to the eyes of Mexican American students, one is about the March on Washington, and two are about civil rights icon Ruby Bridges. One parent even asked the district to remove a biography of Michelle Obama, arguing the book promotes reverse racism.
The district denied the request. I can't believe these people want to ban a Michelle Obama biography. It's a biography that totally gives away the game that this is more about ginning up a culture war than protecting kids. Because once you're banning a book about any first lady that's political, I don't care what anybody says. There's no book about a first lady that's controversial, you know, unless maybe it's like Matha Jeffer's in his book on one tips for
owning slave children who kind of look like my husband. Yeah, that's a little edgy for the kids, but otherwise pretty chill. And you can see how crazy this book banning trend has gotten. Right, they're banning books about race, about gender, about sexuality, about emotions, about history. Guys, that's all books. Think about it. You take away all of those books, and what are you gonna be left with? Huh? How to book about making pottery wrong? That bars is too sexy? Also,
comp believe that they're gonna ban ruby bridges. You understand how crazy that is. You're gonna ban a book about ruby bridges, so that poor girl needed the National god Together into school. Now they're gonna have the National Goddess. Courts are out. And look, I'm not saying that schools shouldn't be allowed to curate what books they carry. I'm not saying that. I don't know. People gonna say you're saying that the schools shouldn't get to decide for themselves. No,
I'm not saying. I'm exactly not saying that, but you are saying. I'm not saying that libraries have always decided which books are in and which books are not in. Like you can't have a Playboy in the school library. I mean, I did it, but I brought it in myself. They didn't stock it for me. They just give me the space to read it. But I guarantee you the vast majority of schools don't even have the most outrageous
books that are on these lists. What's happening here. What's happening here is that people are finding the most scary parts of the most scary books, and then they're making a bad faith argument that kids are being bombarded with all of this stuff, so all the books have to go. And that happens even if you try and talk about books. Like if I say books shouldn't be banned, I know someone's gonna pull out the most extreme example from some random library at a school and be like, oh, really, Trevor,
you're okay with kids reading this? And I don't know, maybe I'm not. But now we're arguing about one page in one book as if that's the story, when the actual story is people are using these books as an excuse to go off to all the books that they don't like. Because again, people, this isn't about books, all right, this is about keeping the culture will going for political benefits.
You don't just have Republicans in dozens of state, it's around the country suddenly realizing all at the same time that there are books that they want to ban in their libraries all at the same time. Come on, it's happening because they think it's a winning issue, or at least they think it's more of a winning issue than Trump is secretly still the president. But I am shut up.
You can't make us lose. And the problem with waging a culture war instead of debating a political issue is that when people are fighting a war, they don't want to just win an argument. No, they want to punish the enemy. In Wyoming, a county prosecutor's office considered charges against library employees for stocking books like sex as a Funny word and this book is gay. In Oklahoma, a bill sets a ten thousand dollar bounty to be collected by parents for each day a challenged book remains on
library shelves. Texas Governor Greg Abbott called for criminal charges against staff who provide kids with pornographic books. School librarians fearing for their own safety now over books. Many of us have had to take measures in our personal lives that we never would have imagine we had to do because of our profession. Wow, people, are you are you
seeing this? You've seen this like this is the interview and inside it gives when they're ratting out El Chapel, not when they've exposed the magical friendship between a pig and a spider. I think, just think about how insane things have gotten where school librarians feel scared for their safety. They've got these crazy parents coming off to them, on top of all the other stuff that they have to
worry about on a daily basis. School shootings COVID their students finding out that they just made up the Dewey decimal system to sounds smarter than everyone else. This book is by Dr SHOs Is that under ash no, actually that books in seven nine one dot for five slash seven five, you idiot, And look man, it's one thing for parents to be upset about a book that their kid is reading at school. Once you offer its ten thousand dollar bounty, think about what you're doing there. Now.
You're using money to just try and stop ships. I mean, of course people are gonna start combing the shelves for anything that might pay out. Ten grand is a lot of money. Ten grand for banning a book is more than most offers made for writing that book. So that's the latest culture world that's tearing America apart. It's happening in schools, and who knows if it'll even stop there, because maybe it'll start in schools, but pretty soon any place the kids go to to find books could become
a target. Hey, y'all of our Burton here, and I am so excited to read with you today. Our first selection is called Rosa and it's the story of Rosa Parks who So as it turns out that book is banned because reading about segregation is divisive. But since almost any book with black people these days is considered divisive, here's one that doesn't have any people in it at all. It's about two penguins and their little baby. Both penguins
are boys. Well, I'm told that that book is also banned because of sexual perversion, which is weird because there's no sex in the book at all. Y'all, they adopted the baby. What do you guys want? Mommy and Daddy penguins of the kids can make sure that the penguins are knocking boots are all right? I've got one that they can't possibly how a problem with hop on pop? What disrespectful to parents? You've gotta be kidding me. All right, listen,
there there are plenty of books to choose from. But you know what, no read the books they don't want you to. That's where the good stuff is. Oh shit, they're coming read banned books. Who stay safe? Leavar all right? When we come back, Roywald Jr. Looks at the Winter Olympians you forgot about. You don't want to miss it. Welcome back to the Daily Show. As you know, it is Black History Month, and as you also know, the Winter Olympics on so to celebrate both at the same time.
Here's Roywood Jr. With a special episode of CP Time. That's a nice time. Uh, Welcome to CEP Time, the only show it's full the culture. Today we'll be discussing the history of black Winter Olympians. And I know when you think of Winter Olympians, you think of the organ beyond Beyond Dylan when many other names that sound like I Kia tables, but not all Winter Olympians looked like
they walked off hitless vision board. Take Debbie Thomas, an American figure skater who became the first black athlete to win a medal at the Winter Olympics. She had to overcome life changing challenges that would break the most of US racism, sexism, and the cold, but devis persistence got her to the eight eight Olympics, where she faced off against East Germany's Katerina Witt and the Battle of the Carmens, since they both skated to music from the opera Common
which just makes sense. I mean, what are the opera you go into ice skate two La Traviata. Yeah, PBS, folks know what I'm talking about. Our next Winter Olympian is Tofiri Kabuka, a blind skier from Uganda who in nineteen seventy six became the first African athlete to compete at the Paralympic went to Games nineteen seventy six. It's not that long ago, which Jefferson was already in a deluxe apartment in the sky cool had already met the Gang,
and Bernie Sanders was a young still. Kabuka won five silver Paralympic medals and also scaled Mount killerman Jaro to cap it off in Kabuka became the first black flag bearer of Norway, where he still resides today. I just hope that he never regains his sight and realizes that he's the only brother in that country. But sometimes you chase the dream, and sometimes the dream chases you. That's
what happened to Matilda. I'm of the petition representing the nation of Togo and cross country skiing in the crazy part. Matilda never even thought about skiing in the Olympics until her country reached out to her on Facebook. Now that there's a d M only Facebook messages, I get her from Russian robot Booty. That's how I met my fiance Tatiana six nine six nine six nine. I love you, baby.
I'm sending my routing number shortly, and I hope that my credit cards can get you those plane tickets to America. See you soon. But perhaps the most famous Black Winter Olympians are the nineteen eighty eight Bob sled team from Jamaica. They made no sense. Bob sledding requires ice sleds, an intense concentration for up to four minutes, none of which
Jamaicans were thought to have. But in nineteen seven, Jamaica recruited a rag tag team of Bob's letters, including twenty two year old Devin Harris, who at the time was serving in the Jamaican Army. I'll be honest and telling you I did not even know that Jamaica had an army. Who the hell is mad at Jamaica? Frilly people, if you manage Jamaicans, the problem is you now, Devin Harrison. The rest of the team was so unfamiliar you with the sport that they didn't even know what bob sledding was.
They probably thought it was sliding on top of a guy named Bob, but of course it hadn't been that way since nineteen forty two, when Bob died. Poor bastard. Anyway, the Jamaican teams somehow qualified for the nineteen went to Olympics in Calgary, Canada, even after crashing their slid more times than bitcoin. And if that weren't crazy enough, the team recruited and trained a fourth member three days before
the Olympic event. It doesn't seem like a lot of training, but two days is still more training than most police officers. On the third run of the Olympic Games, the Jamaican team got into a horrible crash and they were disqualified, but they heroically walked to the finish line. It was a dramatic moment that was made famous in the nineteen movie Cool Runnings, a movie I auditioned for but ultimately didn't get the part because of my quote offensive Jamaican accent.
Come on now, man, you know me. I took no offend your man. We grow up in Kingston me smoke stop what that was a terrible accent? Roy? Wait, who's there? Who? It's me man Devin Harris from the original Bob Slig Team. I hacked him too. Your monitor to tell you to stop doing a Jamaican accent. You your sound like Ms Cleo had sex with jar jar binks? How did you hackn to my monitor? Because I believe in myself and
if you believe in yourself, you can do anything. Well, except for you, you'll never do a good Jamaican accent. It sounds like how fake dreadlocks look. So does this mean I can't audition for Cool Running Part two? Yes? Are going to be a part two? And even if there was, you know, let's face it, you don't exactly look like an Olympic athletist, and I would say you look like you're competing to be America's next top Steve Harvey, So you know, excuse me? Though Jamakan's was supposed to
be friendly. Oh that damn. We just smoked one, love of my ass? I heard that. I hope you did well. That's all the time we have for today. I'm Royal Wood Jr. And this has been CP time, remember before the culture. Since I got you here? Tell me, have you all ever thought about using domes? That's a different type of slad. No, I mean to like to. It's a teammate to help you push. Have you ever seen

most innovative shows that that anyone had ever seen. Your your newtwo and now you're doing the same thing, same sort of thing where I've always liked the lighting design, stage design, graphics, I just feel like my brain already works that way visually, and so I always loved shows that were like that. And whenever you go to the UK or you actually watch theater, you see all those elements.
Do you see what I'm saying when you go to when you see a show on Broadway, you see a show in the UK, You'll see act breaks, You'll see changes of colors that you think of it as like an entire product. We have always loved the visual experience of going to see music that way, We're going to see theater that way. And I always thought, well, I can't comedy be that. Here's a question. I have the show. Yes,
so you've got all of these visual elements. Yes. I don't want to give away like any big parts of the show, but I know you have a joke about infertility. Yeah, your infertility in particular, which I was like, wow, okay has some'n brave Um. So are they have visual aids that go with that? No? I didn't just like show a diagram like so speaking of my vas deference, I didn't do it. But it's but to me, the what I love about comedy in my favorite comedy is confessional.
I'm going to tell you something I'm too afraid to tell other people. So actually the beginning of the show goes back to some of the conversations we had early on. I remember Beena and I were trying to get pregnant while I was still at the Daily Show, and we could not get pregnant, and it was my fault, and I wasn't telling anybody about this, And I remember you would sometimes come up to me and be like, hey man, You're like you look a little glum, like are you okay?
You'd being okay. You guys are like Indian Barbie and Ken, And I'm like, I I know, and kind of like can I I'm infertile. My generals don't work. And that's like a it's it's a it's a thing you carry. It's not usually talked about for most men. And yes, I start to show that way fertility, fatherhood, freedom of speech, all the things that I've been going through the past four or five years that jump. I don't even explain it. I just love that fertility, fatherhood, freedom of speech. I
like how it's like that. Of course, I mean, of course these things, these things go together. You're you're a father of too, though, now congratulations four and to yeah, you're enjoying it. Yes, yes, it's you know this is gonna be public record, and I just want my children to know, I it's been a thrill of a lifetime and um, it's it's a true honor privilege being their father or your kids starting to like show you a bit of your funny back to you. Yeah, they're really funny. Yeah. Yeah,
my daughter is like really really really funny. She knows how to needle wife and I yeah, Like the other day she was getting into it with Bena, and she knows she knows. Like look when when comedians will make fun of each other, will go, I don't like that jacket, I don't like your hair. But her, she was arguing with Bina, and she knew, I'm not even gonna mess with nouns. I'm gonna go right at adjectives. I'm gonna
She's like, Mommy, don't tell me what to do. You're fake, And my Bena was just like, wow, I was like, you should just make fun of the way she wants. Yeah, I don't don't talk about the content of the character. That's actually crueler than being like I don't like your hair, but she nailed it. Yeah, she was like a fake and I was like, hey, don't don't do that, don't be mean to mommy. And she's like, you're projecting. I'm like, what is happening? What is going on right now? Okay,
let me tell you something that I also want. I want the Twitter Attie to know. I want everyone to know this. It was so cool of you. You also were one of the first people that kind of gave me my first test drive through fame. Remember you were Metgala date. I was your metal date. Yeah, and you go and I remember I was being very awkward and weird, and you go him and you're being very awkward and weird. You need to enjoy this, Did I say that? Yeah? You go him and listen. Listen because you could see
it in my eyes. Okay, yes, that's true. I didn't know. I said I think I should you look uncomfortable? Yeah, somebody look awkward and weird. You know you said it in a very kind way. Guys. I read the subtext and you go, hey, listen, man, And this was a really profound quote. You go listen. If you see anybody that you respect or admire, you should take a selfie with them tonight. You should treat fame like a rental car.
Take a spin around the block. That way, when they take the car back, you won't feel like they're taking a piece of you. And I don't if you remember this. At the end of the night, we saw Nicki Minaj. She was walking down the stairs leaving the macgala, and I was too nervous to say anything, and you go, hey, Nikki. Nicki turned around, and you know, she was like dressed like Dr. Seuss. She turned around and you look, it's
your cousin. Take a photo with your cousin. And she was like, what, No, And then she just walked up with her umbrella. And I'm so glad she said no, because I would have been that cousin that had the swollen testical because the reason why she didn't get the vaccine Getty images would have been, like swollen testical manage is the reason why Nikki did not get the vaccine. Just Getty images, my goofy pit. It was a fun night.
That was a fun night before I let you go, though.
