You're listening to Comedy Central. Wow from New York City, the only city in America gets the show. Then intended News, this is the Daily Show with your host John Lega Jomo y sid Welcome with the Daily Show. I'm John Leguizamo and I'm back for the night too, as your first Latino daily show host ever. Yeah, that's right. And if you change the channel now, you're a racist bitch. But we got a great show for you tonight. So
let's get into the headlines. All right, let's kick things off with Donald Trump, the former president of the United States, I feel you, and future president of Cell Block Dan Yes. Yesterday, Trump sat down for an interview on Fox News with Sean Mantidis that's his real name, and it sounds like Trump isn't happy that Ron De Santis might run against him after all the help he gave Ron when he was running for governor. Ron came to see me, tears in his eyes. He said, I need you to do
me a big favor. Would you indorse me? I fought for you, so I said, let's give it a shot. Run okay, And he was desperate. I said, okay. I gave him a nice indorsement. I got him the nomination, by the way, because we've never gotten the nomination. He would be working in either a pizza polo place or a law office right now, okay, and he wouldn't be very he has we wow, Ron des Santis would be
working in a pizza parlor. I guess in Trump's mind, every Talian is working in a pizza place or a law office, or even better, a pizza place that's also a law office. I put on backwards. Haha, hey, hey, hey, you you you come here, your mook. Have you been injured on the job and you're hungry, then come on into this Tephano and sons and if we can win your case, the garlic knots are to die for. Hey, it's thrones. If I'm good, I read it's the gods.
I got your yeah right here by now. Now you probably may this because of the casual racism, but Trump said that Ronda Santis came to him crying. Though if you hear enough of his stories, you probably noticed that this happens to Trump all the time. I mean, I had a man come up to me who's a strong, tough guy, and he had tears coming down his eyes. People came to me and they saw me and they
were crying. I stood yesterday with seventy five construction workers, half of them had tears pouring down their face, and they walk into the Oval office and they started crying. This guy, he hasn't cried since he was a baby, and probably didn't cry then either, And now he's crying. This happens all the time, This happens on thank you tears? Tears? Why why why are people always in tears around Donald Trump's up with this guy? Is his body odors so
strong that peoples us to start watering around him? Is he constantly chopping onions? Is he always just playing the beginning of up for some reason? All right, let's move on to some news that has become all too common now. There was yet another school shooting yesterday, and this time in Nashville, Tennessee, Yes, Sarah, with six people were killed, including three children. For this to happen even once is unacceptable, but now it seems to be happening all the goddamn time.
And like all of you, I'm sick to death of this and I want you to know, and I want to know what I representatives plan to do about it. Okay, But because if you ask this yes, oh yeah, because if you ask this representative from Tennessee, he plans to do jack shit about it. So it's a horrible, horrible situation and we're not going to fix it. Criminals are
going to be criminals. And my daddy fought in the Second World War about in the Pacific, about the Japanese, and he told me, he said, buddy, he said, if somebody wants to take you out and doesn't mind losing their life, there's not a whole heck of a lot you can do about it. There's not a lot of heck you can do about it. That's the best you have to offer. You're a congressman. If you don't have any ideas for how to keep our kids safe, get the out of the way and don't work out of
paint barrier some ship. And by the way, no respect to his father, but if going to school then America feels like fighting in World War Two, that should be a sign that things are seriously up in America. Okay. Now, now there's still a lot that we don't know about this crime. The police say it's possible that the shooter was born female and now identifies as male. So, of course, a lot of Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Green are now saying that trans people are the problem, which I know
seems crazy. That's right, It seems crazy because since ninety nine point nine percent of the mass shooters are not trans. But you know what, Marjorie, I have a proposal for you. Come here, make make make makem Here's the thing, Marjorie, I agree with you. I don't think trans people should be allowed to own assault rifles either, so let's stop them. But just to be safe, we should also ban non
trans people from owning assault rifles. Sokay, just in case they become trans. Okay, you know what I mean, No assault weapons for anybody that'll show them. And some people, some people might tell you that I'm trying to trick you into supporting gun control, but we all know you're too smart for that. Come on, you can trust me, homegirl. It's just you and me, baby, all right. And finally, let's move on to a fun story. We all know that as a planet, we need to find a more
humane and sustainable way to grow meat. Well, now some scientists have found a new source of meat that makes absolutely no sense. A team of scientists from Australia has announced that they've created a meatball from the DNA of the extinct wooly mammoth. It was created from these cells of a wily mammoth and grown in a lab, and they took the DNA sequence from a mammoth muscle protein and filled in the gaps with cells from an elephant,
the mammoth's closest living relative. Scientists say the meat should taste pretty good, but they're afraid to eat it in case the ancient protein is deadly to our current immune systems. The mammoth meatball is not for consumption, but instead is a symbol that we hope in viewers and your audience to start thinking about where their food comes from. Well, first off, as someone who was best friends with a wooly mammoth, yea for not nine films, nine films and
three TV specials. I gotta say I've been dying to know what a wily mammoth tastes like. The amount of times I thought about marinating manfred and grilling them up. You have no idea. It just got to know that there are some scientists who are focused on the important problems of our time because they're like, listen, we don't have a cure for cancer, but we can tell you what missus snuffle lock, but guess tastes long. That's funding more Cockney than the Australian bats. All right, for more
on this meetball story return. I'm to duce it sloan that the laboratory is. Dude, say, what's the news over there? Listen? Why are we doing this side just out here making meat that afraid to eat? When there are so many animals we've never been into. We haven't tried, you know, eating a sea otter, hippopotamus or most birds. So why are we going back in time? I mean, I don't know what sea lions tastes like, but they don't walk, so I'm sure they're buttery. No, I understand that, I understand,
But let's think about this scientific discovery. Okay, Now, dude said, this is an incredible feat. I mean, the man that's been extinct for what thousands of years and they're able to make a sustainable meat source. Come on, it could change the whole world. So what so what give a damn about eating an unshaved elephant? All right, you use this science ship to bring back what the world really needs. Cave men where what? Come on? What are you? What
are you talking about? Caveman? Really you heard me? They out here playing with test tubes, regenerating shit. If you're gonna bring back shit, bring back something I can use. Bring back those cave man you know what what? They were built like More's chestnut, like a real man. You know, say more shift? Were you making men like that? No? More? Come out? Listen. He got pettorials and they got big beard, and I got real calves, no implants, because how you
see him in today? Oh, they ain't got it. They got us out here talking about short kings. Please, short kings is a lie. Don't start with man. They can't pick nothing up. They're walking around and knee micking. The skinny jeans and legs looking you look like the knees just look like lead knuckles. You know what I I want? A man who looks like he can provide for me, all right, go and kill a whole antelope with his
hands because he don't know his own strength. Like do you know how many men have hit me over the head, thrown me over his shoulder and took me back to that man cavena, and I went for worked up woman. Even if you were able to bring back caveman, their brains were different. They might not even be able to pick up a language. Oh the strong, silent time. So take my money, you cluck. I heard from us that
them cavemen were hung like curtains. Okay, miss, they get to run around my thing, you'll scream like a sail van. Oh god, Oh jesus, dude, say, I don't think the scientists had the resources to bring back caveman just for you. Oh no, no, no, no, they don't need to listen. I'm already on it. Okay, I'm doing science. I'm back in school. You know. I got a whole five year plan. I get my masters, then I get my doctorate, and
then I get my man. Because if you want to get women in still, then you gotta get a cave man in me. Oh right, okay, well good luck with that is all I can say. Dude, say sloan, everybody, all right, let me come back. I go ahead to head with the legend himself, crazy like said, don't go away. Hey, Hi, welcome back to the Daily Show. Now, one thing I wanted to do this week. It should introduce y'all to my New York So I decided to go catch up with my brother from another mother, the man who gave
New York Street cred. Yeah to look at Day Over thirty five. But I actually grew up in the seventies in New York City. At the time, hip hop was the dopest thing on the planet, and through the culture I met amazing people like my friend Crazy Legs, a pioneer of the art form that white people call break dancing and everybody else calls breaking. Crazy Legs started dancing at age nine. He was part of the legendary Rocksteady Crew in the early nineteen eighties. He was even Jennifer
Beale's body doubling flashdance because she sucked at breaking. He was instrumental in turning breaking into a worldwide phenomena. Crazy like the time representative of her Bee. So, look, you're You're called Crazy Legs and I'm called Johnny Legs. Is that one of my friends? First? I was like, yo, why he biting my name? Oh? He thought I was biting. No, No, you did. You're pretty little competitive. You always been a little competitive, So so how'd you get the name Crazy Legs?
I would practice out to school in the auditorium and the captain of the chili it was on me practice and she was like, oh, he got some crazy leg But now that you're older, do you think you need to change your name from crazy legs or something a little more mature, like stable legs. Yeah. Crazy's kind of like become an ablest term, you know, So maybe something like neurodivergent legs since like that, not more like give it up legs. Yeah, pretty much. Right when did you
meet me? I met you an avenue a at a club. Shortly after that we connected on freak. Yes we did. Yes, we breography. Oh my god, you maybe look like I could really do shit, Like I could do damage on stage. I hurt myself you did. Yeah, Like I'm pretty broken. I told my my hamstry. I didn't know that breakdancing mes, You're gonna break something goes with the turrets here meet up,
went man. You know we've both been involved with the Puerto Rican community forever, you especially working on the island for relief. Yeah, and I've been cast as a Puerto Rican buy Hollywood, Do you think I'm believable? I think any Latino from New York is believable because true so interchangeable with each other. We understand each other's accents. So you got the body yes, yes, field of approval delicious. So hip hop culture, man, it started underground. Nobody knew
about it. It was a black and Latino thing. And now suburban one out of five suburban dads want to break dance and maybe, like you know you are, can bust the move. Yeah, I can do that breakdancing thing. It's fantaster for us to come from nothing and create something that has impacted the globe. It's pretty amazing. We're looking at dancing in the streets to the Bronx to breaking going to the Olympics in twenty twenty four in Paris.
Initial right now to see how much money I can raise to support some of the dances to have the same equal playing field. And the Olympics really only takes about one hundred thousand dollars to secure just one hundred thousand dollars. When you think about for the year that gets him to national and international qualifiers. It allows him a trainer, a meal plan, and just to like not have to work. Can't we doing driving at uber and still doing it? You can't do both. Everyone else who
has that ability to support hit us. Hit us up. Hit people that heard that right here, Hit us up. Send the money to me, Yeah, gone, got it? Who didn't? Distrib I might give it to him? Ye might not. Maybe a pen, you know, bodio X in the house. You know, back in the day, they said breakdancing started when kids who had beef they would settle their their fights through breakdancing, through battling. Well, here's a thing that was a fallacy about us solving beast with dance? Oh
was it if you disrespected me? I'm not gonnay man. We're gonna dance now, man, I'm a guntable man. I believe anybod I get it. I mean, you know you got information late. You're from queens. Well that's a cold blooded man. I think we're gonna have to settle this beat the old fashioned day by oh wor beat boy dance. Oh we're gonna battle queens against what BX versus queens? Come on, can you get the mulis on a standby? Please?
We didn't a great game, got a big point of each a month before we get a fancy on win right now? Please? The next one makes some comping up one big time. This is don't want Mason time. It was not an amazing car, I really one. I gotta like that. All right, Stay tuned because when we come back, Diane Garrera will be joining me on this show, so I don't go away. Welcome back to the Dali Show.
My guest tonight is an activist, author, an actor. You may know from Oranges and New Black, Doom, Patrol and Encanto. Please welcome Diane Geo. Please all right, calm down, Calm down, blacks, y'all, relax, Hi, they're excited, they're hey, Diane. Do people believe you when you tell them that you do the voice for Encanto? Because when I tell kids, nobody believes me. I have to sing the entire song, the whole song, the whole song.
But then they believe you. Then they believe me. Yeah, the kids are and I have to like do like a few lines to like flowers, and then I've been stuck and then they get it. Oh yeah, now I believe you. I was in short field, but now I got it. Yeah. No, they don't get it even when I do the voice, you know, like I don't know who I am. They don't get it because his face scares them. No, no, yeah, you got you gotta sing this, you gotta do the rap part. Oh, forget that, that's
not happening. Yeah, I grabably got in the pocket. Yeah that's a hard one. Now let me switch it over to something else. You're you're, we're you're a child of immigrants. That's right, and every immigrant, Yeah magazine, they better go. Okay, what do you want people to know about your experience growing up? Yeah? Well, when I was fourteen, my parents were separated from me. I'm a child of a separated family due to deportation. And it, I mean it ruined
a lot, a lot of it ruined me. Yeah yeah, yeah, because you were fourteen years old. Fourteen years old, yeah yeah yeah, and the immigration I s ice came and took away your parents. And that's right. And I had to grow up on my own, and I had to make very very difficult decisions on my own throughout my entire life. Imagine a kid just left alone at fourteen to raise themselves. So crazy, not right, not okay, not okay. And I've I mean, I've gone through a lot of
therapy and I'm still going through therapy. And I'm um, you know hereful, I'm thank you. I've relied on my community to support me in this, and I have been very candid. I wrote a book and twenty sixteen about my experience, and I thank you. My family and I were separated like for twenty years. I mean, I've been able to go back, but they haven't been able to come here. And so, um, you know, pandemic happened and I was like, what am I going to do here?
Like die in La by myself? Um, So I bought a farm in the mountains of Colombia and I'm now I'm living there. Um my dad sadly passed away a year ago, but I'm sorry here, thank you so much, but my mom is there. I'm close to my family and no one's ever going to separate as every good for now. I also hear that you're the leading actor who recently enjoyed No, you joined a whole bunch of leading actors in the visionary a line to the National Hispanic Media Coalition. I had to read that, because that's
not the leading actor. You're not the leading actor. No, I'm not the leading actor. I'm one of the actors, one of them. Okay, yes, and then and what is the mission statement of the coalition? Look, and I'll give you numbers. I'm not I'm not a math girly, but I'll give you some numbers. And in twenty twenty two, only three women of color directed a top one hundred film. In the span of sixteen years, okay, twenty one female directors. Women of color directors directed twenty one films out of
sixteen hundred films. That's crazy. I'm not a math girly, like I said. And people of color are at least forty percent of the population, if not a lot more, because white people are only fifty nine percent of the population, right right, So I mean that's getting into more numbers than I rehearsed. But I'm a math boy. You are a math boy. Well, all I know is that that's cultural apparteype yes, right, and I know that's the term that you use a lot. And I follow you and
I follow your work. Thank you so much, Johnny Lts for doing oh yeah, and inquiring me to do the work that I'm doing alongside you. Well, I need allies, and we need people like you.

We want to be represented as we are, real, beautiful, curious. Uh, you know, existential crises happen, and yes, maybe and yes maybe even mediocre? Right and if some days sometimes right and if sometimes white people get to be mediocre all the time. Oh my god, I mean I'm jealous because white people get to fail upwards. Just peruse just I can barely succeed upwards. Agreed, Likewise, just perus to the cannon, the cannon of like mediocre films of dis functional white
world play Jack, Jack and jail. The cannon is rich. We deserve to be a lot to fail on camera exactly? Can we rail in big movies? Can we make crap? Want to make crap on television? I'm streaming. I want to be like white people. Want to ly man is meat ball craps and get paid for, get paid for everybody paid for tests. To do that, we have to work really well in sushi kitchens, pizzerias.
