Misguided Boycotts Against Russian-Themed Businesses in the U.S. | Tiffanie Drayton

That's how you know your delusions are super delusional. People like, who are you talking to, Trivit's all in my head, man, can't wait for that to be real. People coming to you from the heart. Enough times flare in New York City, the only city in America. It's The Daily Show. Here's addition, tonight, COVID's back, Baby, the War is raging Tiffany Drayton. This is The Daily Show with Trevor no Hey. What's going on? Everybody?

Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Trevor Noah, and I'm so excited because joining me for today's headlines it is my good friend Runny check. What's going on? Running? How you doing? Trevor? Thanks, thanks for having me. I'm excited to have our last show here in this place. We're moving, We're moving to write studios. And you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna miss I'm gonna miss this a little bit, you know, a bit of nostalgia. I'm gonna I'm gonna miss the shelf. I'm gonna miss uh this chess.

I'm gonna miss performing jokes awkwardly to complete silence. But you know, most of all, I'm gonna miss you. What you know, some some people would say, you know that you're the most important part of the show, and I just think it's a shame that you're not gonna come with us to the I'm coming. Well, you know you shouldn't have signed that two year least. Here I'm telling you, but wait, no, no, no, I'm you can't go without now It's okay, Well we'll find a new host. No no no, no, no,

well it'll be fine. Let me guess it won't be the Asian guy you're not running. I'm glad you're coming with me. All right, people, let's jump straight into today's headlines. We begin with big news from Netflix. The friend who checked on you most during the pandemic. Netflix is still the most popular streaming TV service in the world, but it's lead has been slipping recently. Major rivals like Disney

Plus have been gaining steam. Up starts like Peacock have also been getting buzz, and of course this Paramount Plus, which is the best streaming service of all. They've got Champions League, They've got yellow Stone, and they pay me. I mean, I can't think of a better network. So with Netflix no longer bringing in new customers the way it used to, the service is looking for ways to make more money off of the users it already has, and one idea Netflix is testing out is the exact

opposite of chill. Sharing your Netflix account with someone else or a few someone's it could cost you some money. Soon, Netflix says it will start charging a fee to primary account holders who share their passwords with people outside their homes. They're gonna test this in three countries, Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru, and depending on how the test goes, they could be expanded to other countries. Netflix says the fee will allow them to invest in more shows and more movies.

Also a bottom line here, it'll boost their profits and cost you more money. No no, no, no, no, Netflix, This wasn't the deal. The deal was that we get to share a single account for our thirty closest friends, and in return, you get to keep murdering people to get material for your true crime documentaries. And by the way, you do have to admit it's pretty shitty that they're testing this feature in Chili, Peru and Costa Rica, all right. I mean, those people just want to watch TV. Didn't

sign up to be guinea pigs. Like this makes me wonder how many other things Netflix has tested on them that we don't even know about. It could be anything, could be different shows, it could be different features, like the sound, the Netflix sound we we used to babam, you're finding those countries they're testing other ones bap or just someone's screaming welcome to Netflix. Yeah, man, I don't know why everyone's always so casual with this Netflix passwords.

You know, everyone's what happens to essex in this country? You know? Yeah? We like, is this like a country of crooks or something we should be We're paying for a good service here. This is a good service. They make good programs. This isn't a victims crime, This isn't a small crime like like tax fraud or awesome or being born a crime in half white, whatever you are in South Africa. But this is a major intellectual property issue. Man.

Every time you look at someone's Netflix that you didn't pay for, you're taking money away from smart, capable, good looking Netflix executives who make great decisions, not to mention comedians who make a ton of money saying whatever they want. And on a separate note, my new Netflix comedy special is coming out April five. Ronnie Chanin speak Easy, so make sure you tune in. You don't have to watch, you just put it on the view. Still count for

my contract negotiations. Thanks guys, this guy I thought you know I was supporting you, and then you know what. All right, let's move on. So the coronavirus pandemic, which unlike most Netflix shows, has been renewed for season three. COVID cases are rising at an alarming rate in Europe, drawing renewed attention to the omicron subvariant known as b A two or the stealth stream. In the UK, daily COVID cases sword of a hundred thousand, marking a jump

of seventy seven percent in a week. This comes right after they dropped through much all their COVID restrictions. In recent weeks, Germany has also continued to mark record high daily infections, with more than two d and fifty thousand new cases a day. Meanwhile, in France, Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands, COVID infections are starting to rise following a rollback of coronavirus measures. You're seeing these cases rise in Europe where they essentially have the same vaccines we've used.

They have the same level of protection that we have here, both from natural immunity and from vaccinations, possibly even higher. When they're starting to see these cases could be a harbinger. What's gonna happen here? Nash Ship a hobbinger. I don't even know what that word means, but hobbings are never good. Yeah, it's never like this dog is heavily pregnant, which could be a harbinger of more puppies. So it's bad ships,

hobbinger of more COVID in America. Man, And and look, I will say this guy's before you panic, before you playing. Remember remember, if most people are vaccinated, there will be a lot of fewer deaths and hospitalizations than before. Even if cases shoot up. Remember that's the most important thing. So we're not necessarily going back to the bad old days when every day you were scared that one of your loved ones might send you that imagined video. I mean,

I don't know what forever this this COVID. This isn't the weak as twenty peacetime COVID. This is the two coming out of European War COVID. This is gonna be strong COVID. This COVID survived like a direct nuclear hit. It's gonna it's gonna come to America. It's gonna infect everybody. You know. It's it's gonna be tough. People are gonna get sick from it. It's gonna call you the N word. What's gonna It's gonna look through your tweets and fine

offensive stuff and get you canceled. I mean, honestly, I'm reading reports that this spike is gonna be really badest in a few weeks, especially on April five. So I suggest on that date everyone should stay at home and maybe do less dangerous activities like watch a Netflix comedy special like Mine um Ran Chang Speakings on April five on Netflix, So tune it. I thought you were worried. Okay, you know what, Finally here's a story that's definitely gonna

bring you a little ray of sunshine in these dark days. Because, let's be honest, people, all of us are pretty stressed out right now right the pandemic doesn't seem to end. There's a giant war, there's mega droughts in Africa, and just yesterday, just yesterday, my dentist told me that I've been grinding my teeth while I sleep, which just stressed me out even more because how did my dentists get

into my bedroom. But if your favorite coping method isn't doing the trick anymore, well, there's now a group of experts that you can call for advice. If you've been feeling mad, frustrated, or nervous, just know you're not alone. There's a group of elementary school students with some positive messages only a phone call away. Welcome to the PEP Talk Hotline, real advice you can use from the students

at west Side Elementary. The hotline is the brainchild of west Side art teacher Jessica Martin and local artists A Cheryl Weiss. Two days after we we went live, we were getting five hundred calls an hour and uh, at last I checked, we're getting eleven thousand calls an hour. If you're nervous, go get you wally and standing on ice cream and shoes. Your frustrate, you can always go to your bedroom. Pun't you pillow? Are you cry on it? Huh? Just when you thought there was no goodness in the world,

you see something like this. I don't care what you say. That is the most adorable way to feel better. Ever. You call a five year old and they give you advice, Like, I gotta say, I like getting advice from kids way more than the alternative, because if you tell a kid you're stressed, they're like, go buy some ice cream. That picks you up, you know. But if you tell your

therapist you're stressed, what do they do? They're like, let's relive every failed relationship you've ever had, And then just when I'm getting into it, they're like, all right, our time is up. Good luck out their kid. I will say, though, the effects of kids therapy could go both ways. You have to consider that, because yes, their advice could make you feel a whole lot better. But then you realize you're taking advice from a child. Are you depressed again?

I love the services. There's nothing wrong with it. Ronny, would you would you do that? Uh pep talk? Yeah? Yeah. So I've been feeling this accidental dread from this pandemic, this war. Gas prices are going through a roof. Also, my Netflix special is coming out on April five, and I've been feeling a little insecure about it. Um. Also my marriage. You know, I want to say what I'm happy, but you know, it feels like this is silence and emptiness that just keeps growing. You don't know, do you

have any advice? M hmm? What was that? Drink? Some apple juice? Okay? Thank you? Do you think I haven't tried that? Kids? Man? I think you're missing the point of what the kid is trying to do running. I mean, how much juice can women take? You know what I'm saying, like, yeah, I get it, But the kids, it's not like actually about doing the thing. It's about the feeling of the kids. If you can't deliver, then don't start the business. All right. It's not a business. It's a thing to make you

feel good. Well, it's you. I don't want to get a bill for that ship that was completely useless. Yeah, it's not about the bill running, it's about the joy. It's like, there's some things in life that bring people joy. Look, if I'm gonna get advice some kids, I'm not gonna get if I saw American kids, Okay, it's like what you're doing kindergarten from coloring a book, Dude. In Asia, we'll be doing advanced calculus by this point. I want some Asian kids to give me my advice. Wow, you

know it's so grumpy. You know what you need to do, Runnie, you know, go on Netflix on April five and what's your special little will probably cheer you up. All right, thank you so much, Ronnie check. Let's move on to our top story. We are now in the fourth week of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Russia's worst decisions and sending their horny as spy to kill James Bond. So let's catch up on all the latest updates in our ongoing

coverage of the war in Ukraine. While Russia's military hasn't had a lot of success recently in terms of capturing Ukrainian territory, that doesn't mean the military hasn't been successful at killing Ukrainian civilians. Every day brings new reports of a hospital, school, or shelter being hit by a Russian airstrike, or entire cities under siege with no access to food, water, or medicine. And I honestly don't know what the point

of it all is like. Unless Putin's plan is to win over the Ukrainian people with the world's largest case of Stockholm syndrome, what is he doing? But either way, either way, Ukraine has been saying for weeks that Russia is guilty of war crimes, and now it looks like the President of the United States agrees. Now at Washington, where President Biden is called Vladimir Putin a war criminal

for the very first time. Here's a war community. The White House says President Biden was quote speaking from the heart about Vladimir Putin's barbaric actions when he made that declaration. The Kremlin responded to that charge just moments ago, calling a quote absolutely unacceptable and inexcusable, in pointing the US bombing of Hyoshima and Argasaki during World War Two. Seriously, Russia, you're gonna bring up something America did in the forties.

America has committed plenty of war crimes since then, keep up with the arms, yo, come with that old ship. And just because America committed war crimes doesn't mean that you have to as well, Vladimir Putin, Okay, I mean, what if all your friends jumped off a bridge? Would you do it too? No, seriously would you. I'm just bring storming ways to end this whole thing. I just

want to know what you do. You know now, despite being on the constant bombardment, Ukraine's President Vladimir Zlenski, he's made it clear that he has no plans, zero nada, to ever surrender to Russia. Yeah, Practically every day he releases a new video reassuring Ukrainians that he's splint charge. He's still in Kiev, and he's still making olive green t shirts the hardest fashion item of two. Although if you were watching Ukrainian news yesterday you might have heard

a very different message. A video claiming to show Ukraine President Vladimir Zlenski calling for the Ukrainian people to surrender to Russia was aired on news station Ukraine. It then circulated on social media. In the deep fake video of Phoni, President Zelenski tells Ukrainians to put their weapons down in their war with Russia. Digital forensics experts quickly picked it apart,

catching a number of visual and audio glitches. The official Facebook account for Ukraine's land forces posted a warning that

more videos like this may be coming. Yeah, you know what's funny is the first time I saw a deep fake, the first time, I wondered when it would finally be used for something dangerous in the world, like something actually meaningful, because you realize, like some Ukrainians could have seen this video and actually surrendered, and the only reason they spotted this was because of small discrepancies, and also because the fake Zelinski says that Putin had a big dick and

he's a karate king. I mean that sort of gave it away. But you realize why deep fakes are so scary, rights because they can make you think that anyone was doing anything even if they weren't. Like for instance, for instance, have you seen there's a video of me online where they make it look like I was crying at the end of Jurassic World, which is ridiculous. Why why would why would I cry just because that one dinonsaw dinsa like like Dinosos Why are they killing each other when

bending each other didn't see they did it again? That was the point? Is The point is this was a bullshit way for Russia to try and win this war. Yeah, which is why we at The Daily Show decided we're getting back at Putin by releasing our own deep fake video. It's me, Vladimir Putin. I made the boom in via

the Ukraine and I just pooped my pants, checkmate Putin. Now, we don't know for sure who's behind the steep fake but it obviously wouldn't be shocking if it was the work of the Russian government, since fake news is kind

of the whole thing right now. In fact, if you turn on Russia state media, you'd probably hear that Ukraine was the aggressive in this war and that Russia had no choice but to defend itself, and also that the war is going great and if a few thousand Russian soldiers never come home, it's not because they're dead, it's because they're on a permanent vacation. You know how it is, And believe it or not, believe it or not, the Russian government is being helped in this propaganda effort by

conservative TV networks in the United States. Yeah, as wild as it sounds. Channels like Fox News, News Max and O A N. They've been so friendly to Putin's narrative that Russian TV stations have even reportedly been ordered to play clips of Tucker Carlson on its broadcasts. And that's a smart move by Tucker. You know, you might be like, why is he defending the Russians? Yeah, it's a smart move. You don't want to put all your eggs in the

Trump propaganda baskets. You've got to diversify, you know, I think about other bad guys you could roll with Putin, Kim Jong Oon, Hey, maybe the joker. Are we really supposed to believe a batman is keeping our streets safer? Why is that? But the point is America's conservative media is doing almost as good a job at spreading Russian propaganda as Russia itself. All Right, when we come back, Daslidic checks in with the Russians. We shouldn't be blaming.

You don't want to miss it. Welcome back to the Daily Show. Since the start of Russia's war against Ukraine, everyone has been looking for a way to help Ukraine and get back at Russia. But It turns out some people are doing it the wrong way, and Daisilidik has more like Pride flags in June, Freedom Fries after nine eleven or black Squares on social media. Americans have a knack for making real change with their creative activism, and

no surprise, now they're turning their focus to Russia. Russian restaurants here in the US that wants proudly display the country's heritage or feeling repercussions from a war thousands of miles away. A new call this morning to ban the sale of Russian alcohol here in New York. Surely these savvy New Yorkers no a Putin supporter when they see one, right, But are these businesses really in the pockets of Russian oligarchs? And how much are they sending back to Putin himself?

As a true patriot, I had to find out how well our boycott strategy was working. My first stop a Russian front sorry restaurant in the West Village. Sorryevna, sounds suspicious already? Did Putin help you set up this place? How much of a share does he have in this business? None that I'm aware of. If I ordered the bush, how much of it will go back into his hands.

Presumably none, because you're somewhere where's the yacht's I wasn't able to find the spy stuff at Ricky's, but a restaurant with Russian in the name must be a front for Moscow loyalists. I went to the Russian Samovar to meet with the owner. Look at this guy's got to be in Putin's pocket. Have you brought this out for me? Mishe von Shots? That's your real name, It's my real name, Misha wanna shot? Do you always refer to yourself in the third person? Misha sometimes does? This is gonna be

a long shoot. You know what, you should probably try this first. I know what Russia does to journalists. M hmm. What is your most popular dish and drink here? No surprise, Chicken Kiev? And how has business been up until this point? Business was just getting good again, coming out of the pandemic. And then because we have Russian in the name, we're automatically vilified. You know, just because we are a Russian establishment doesn't mean we write a check to put In

his regime. We're standing with Ukraine in our staff, that is, most of Ukrainian people don't send. Many Ukrainians work for Russian establishments, and by black bowling the business, you're hurting them earning their wages in their tips where they need to send it back home to help theirs, which becomes the problem as well. Where exactly do you stand on this war? We stand behind all Russian New Yorkers when we say that violence is not the answer and we're

here to make borsch not war. How has your business changed since this war started? Since the first week of the war, we definitely noticed a big decline in business and revenue. We probably say about half of what we normally do. Just people not coming in. Americans have a way of sort of not knowing exactly where to put their activism and sort of misunderstanding a proper boycott. Is

that what's happening, that's sort of what's happening. Yeah. They like to assume that maybe the Russians in New York, by maybe hurting us in might hurt Russians back home, when in reality, the Russians that are here left Russia for a reason. Could it be that our protest strategy was punishing the wrong people. I mean, these guys are even part Ukrainian themselves. This is worse than the time my sister went to jail. Because our DNA profiles are

so similar. This has dropped like overnight, lude just getting threats and calls calling us all types of names, Nazis, this and that, and being of Jewish descent isn't always a nice thing to deal with, and that's happening pretty frequently on a constant basis. Yeah of shunkay, Okay, yeah, there we go. Are you look for the whole thing? Okay? I don't want to be rude. Are you sure you're not a Russian spy? You drank that like the Russian. I'm so sorry that your business is suffering and that

Americans are so misguided on this whole thing. I want to support your business. You know what, I'll take one of everything, round of drinks for everyone. Well there's no one in here, but you get the idea. Just everything we can get you our Russian kid juice, yes, cheers, and to wash that down some of our famous bush nice. Okay. I've very much been looking forward to this. What is in this? So beats and beef and potato all Russian's favorite thing. I have a slight beat ergy, but it'll

be fine. Oh so good. I'm not going to let back in the way. What would be your message to Americans? My message to Americans is don't vilify anything or anybody that is Russian. We didn't start this war. It's Putin's war. One final question, why so many beats? Why not? It's full of vitamins, minerals. Well, if one thing is abundantly clear, it's that New Yorkers have gotten this one all wrong and the only Russian asshole in this war is Putin. Now, the only thing left to do is to support my

fellow Americans. Thank you so much for that, Daisy. All Right, people don't go away because when we come back, you know how people always say, if you don't like America, you should just leave. Well, we're gonna talk to someone who actually did that, So stay tuned. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is journalist and author

Tiffany Drayton. Her new memoir is about how her family came to America for a better life and why she returned to Trinidad and Tobago because she felt they couldn't find it. Tiffany Drayton, Welcome to the Day Show. Thank you so much for having me. You know, you have one of the most interesting takes in this book. You do not want to be middle of the road. You very much want to speak your piece. Black American refugee. You say something that that I think a lot of

people feel, but you have acted on. You've gone America is not my friend as a Black American person, and so forth. Because of that, I'm leaving absolutely. So when you say black American refugee, that's that's a very specific title to choose for a book, because you don't say black American immigrants, black American refugee, which implies some sort of fleeing. You know, you're leaving the place you're living

in exile. Now, I would love to understand the thought behind that because many would say, oh, but you chose to leave, and you you could stay as well. But you argue in the book you couldn't stay. Stay wasn't actually an option for you if you wanted to live a life, right, And that's when you have to really take a good look at stomach oppression and what that

does to an individual. So when I made that decision to leave, I was being oppressed in so many ways, whether it be the withholding of your diploma, the um living in a neighborhood that is rife with violence. UM. These are all things that I was experiencing at that time. And then on top of that, to add an additional layer of trauma, I was in a narcissistic, abusive relationship. And that's something that's more common with people who are

of an oppressed minority. You realize it's so hard to not find yourself an abusive dynamics because guess what, everybody is existing in a way that's so traumatic and so full of constant distress. And not only that, but you know, we internalize so many of the messages from our abusers, and in this case, this larger structure of systemic oppression.

Right for example, you know, so many black people internalized ideas of self hate that they would have learned from the media that brands us thugs or crack babies or welfare queens, all of these brands and all of these labels. And so my decision to leave was really born of my desire to even free myself from those labels, and that's what I was able to do by going back to Chinida. There are there are pros and cons to every country. I have friends from Trinidad who will be

like man Trevor, I wish I lived in America. There's opportunities, there's ways you can do things that it seems like there's upward mobility. Trinidad is so small. It's it's a community, it's of village, but it also feels constricting at times. Do you do you not think it's just a case of maybe the gross being greener or do you do you think it's something that you've chosen to weigh up and go? You know what, me feeling like being black is not an issue? Is worth more to me than

the ease of upward mobility? Or do you think up mobility itself doesn't even exist? I I feel like you know when you recognize that you are in a cast system. It is true that upward mobility may exist for the few, but what does that say about the majority? And is there truly upward mobility If when you move into that rich neighborhood or you start driving that BMW, you are

still under the same threat of white supremacy. Is it truly upward mobility If you have to be afraid to gift your child a car, that's expensive because a police officer may shoot that child because they think that the child stole the car just because they're black. You know, I think that we can only view mobility in terms

of maybe our economic circumstances. But when that brand of blackness puts you at the bottom rungs of a society, there is really no way to escape that, aside from destroying that very system that seeks to put people in that wrong and keep them there. I like that you say cost system, because it is that. Yeah, but I think people don't understand what a cost system actually is. No, but it's not India. It's like it doesn't have to

be India. It could be the American version. Yes, but I still I often say to people, we're still dealing with a very basic level of it because here it's still like we're still like I always think of if I was playing a video game, racist like almost like the first boss. Do you know what I mean, They're still gonna like classism is still going to come in as the next boss, which is almost what like the racism is hiding? No, absolutely not, because altimately don't think

so darling, Let's go take a trip down MLK. Let's go take a trip down, Malcolm X. In fact, let's go to Barack Obama schools across the United States of America. Something about class not being interconnected with race. No, I'm not saying it's not only part of the same thing. Because the class system in America, remember that you brought enslaved people to act as your compleatly with you and

completely with you. From that moment, you built a system around oppressing them so that you can constantly use their bodies to profit from. Let's look at mass incarceration, like not interconnected. This is what I'm saying. As as this is one one in the shame like this handing glove in America, it may not be. Yeah, in America, you built both systems simultaneously. I mean it's a very young country. It's not like it's the brand new country. It's not

like the very old country. And that's that's what I'm saying. People, I think don't seem so I I appreciate that you said it like that. So okay, let's look at America as an example. Right. The thing I always try and explain to people is this the system that exists screws over so many white people as well, because there are so many white people who are kept poor by a system that has taught them that black people are coming to take your ship, so you need to fight the

black people. And that's when facts them does if you look at the history of America, right, Yes, Europeans of all sorts can come to America and eventually assimilate, you absorb the whiter folks so that your power is maintained. But that doesn't mean But the key thing is that the white is on one end and the black is on the other. So anybody who falls off into that black category, like if you're dealing with descendants of slaves

who are American, Um, they know it's a system. There's no question for them because they see how there is no like generational wealth where where where's it at? The average white family has like sixteen times the amount of generational wealth. So to say it's not race, that's just no. No No, I'm not saying it's not race. This is what I'm saying. Let's look at it. Yes, but they are intertwined, but I don't think they're the same thing. And I'll tell you why. Let's look at immigrants who

come to America. That first generation will come from a place and go. I was given opportunities that could make something of it. Yes, I had to be a taxi driver, to be the eutceter etceterator or whatever it is. And they'll go, But my kids now do this. I came from this place and now my kids do. Then are ironically their kids who are black American are now promised a dream. Like m L K said, So immigrants will go, this is not my country. Ergo the promise is not

to me. So the country is not failing me. They have American children, The American children go, I have a promise. Then the promise is not fulfilled, which creates you know, I want to give you another thing to think about as we're on this, because if you want to look generationally like my mother when she came to the United States of America, despite the fact that she worked as a nanny and then eventually became a nurse, she was

actually a very educated woman. Now for her to give her children that same level access to education, uh, we ventured to three or four states. So it requires so much effort to extract, especially like within if you look at the education system, like if you are in a majority black school, it's going to be hot gardage, and that's just a fact. In other countries, that's not going to be the thing that's holding you back. It's not gonna be the fact that you're black, that you can't

get a good education. That may plan to it. Like you say, that's where you see more of those class based situations. But in the United States of America, as soon as you bring your blackerty black kids from Africa or from whatever, and you think that you know these titles of being immigrant to trinidout you or whatever, we're going to protect you and perhaps they might give you a blinder. But for your children, they're going to have to experience what it is like to be educated in

the education system of the United States and America. And it ain't got no time for us. I'll put it that way. I'll tell you this, Tiffany Drayton, You've written an engaging book which is one of my favorite books to read. And things I agree with that things I disagree with, their things that are new to me. I hope everybody reads it full that reason. Thank you so much for joining me on the show. Thank you so much for having me. All Right, people, Tiffany Drayton's memoir

Black American Refugee is available right now. We're gonna take a quick break, but we'll be right back after this. Well, let's our show for tonight, but before we go, In honor of women's history months, The Daily Show partnered with Lolly Lolly Ceramics to create three special edition Daily Show mugs all month long, You've seen Lolly Lolly's mugs right here on our desk, and you've got one last chance to buy a mug of your very own.

have cheered for that. That's why I need an audience. Yeah. Anyway, Um, I just wanted to thank you, every single one of you who has been with us on this crazy to your journey.
