Podcast Helps To Free A Man Sentenced To Life In Prison | Jenifer Lewis

for you tonight. Watch is the new cocaine podcasts on the defense attorneys, and the Republican Party now has to Donald Trump's. So let's do this, people. Let's up straight into today's headlines. All right, before we get into the big stories, let's catch up on a few other things going on in the world. First Up, an executive from the vegan Burger Company beyond meat was arrested after a fight in which he allegedly bit another man's nose, which, God damn. When vegans have a cheat day they really

go hard. They go hard. In Health News, the FDA has officially warned people not to do a tiktok trend called the Ni Quel Challenge, which is where people are cooking chicken in Niquel. I don't know. I mean, this sounds fake to me, but if it's not, why would you stop it? Huh, white people, if only seasoning their chicken,

that's a win. Let Them Go. Let Him God. Oh, and in international news, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing criticism after a video circulated showing him singing Bohemian rhapsody at a London hotel two nights before the queen's funeral. Yeah, yeah, people, people are saying it was disrespectful and and they're right, right. You don't sing a song by Queen when the Queen has died. That's insulting. You Sing Wu Tang. It was a favorite group. No, seriously, I don't. I don't get why.

People also anger bothers. Who Cares? It's not like he's saying another one bites the dust. You know. No, it's too sensitive. But let's move on to some of the biggest stories of the day, starting with a criminal case that was probably in your ears every Thursday morning back in a judge in Baltimore today overturned the murder conviction of add non siad, whose case was featured in the hit podcast serial and ordered his really from prison. So I had now forty one walked out of the courthouse

after spending more than two decades behind Mars. In vacating the ruling, the judge found that the original prosecutors did not turn over evidence to the defense that could have helped. Said, and evidence uncovered since would have added, quote, substantial and

significant probability that the result would have been different. The decision to vacate science conviction came down just hours ago and tonight he's back home with family and, as you can see in this video, one of the first things he did his co right for the fridge and dive into some leftovers. I'm sorry this this is an insane story. This guy was sentenced to life in prison, then years later, a podcast brings attention to his case and now, after twenty two years locked up, he gets to go home.

And I know, I know people are celebrating this and understand why, but I'm gonna be honest with you. I find it weird that America confuses fixing a mistake with a happy ending. You know what I mean, like good news. We got out of Afghanistan and why were you there in the first place? Good News, we got emergency water to Jackson, Mississippi. Why do you need emergency water? Good News, we took all the pink slime out of the meat.

The Pink what now? And so, yes, it's happy, but come on, people, I will so I will say it was hot. Warming, though, to see him back home with his family eating leftovers. You know. Yeah, no, just because, knowing families, there's probably one uncle who was like who my leftovers? I know you did twenty years but I was saving that. But can you imagine that that guy was in prison since the year two thousand? Think about

all the things he's missed out on. He's gonna be chatting to his friends like, Oh man, I'm so excited to be free. Let's go to an arcady concept. They'll be like, I got some bad news. Yeah, but this does raise a big question, right, what does it say about America that it takes a podcast to help free a man from prison? Because what I think it says is that either America needs to reform, it's just a system,

or podcasts need to become part of the justice system. Yeah, think about it, think about everyone hates jury duty, but everyone loves podcasts. So maybe we get rid of juries and just had everyone in America listen to the podcast and then they all vote. It just becomes a nationwide jury. They're paying attention. They actually called, because this is something I've realized. If you add entertainment, Americans are always interested.

Like nobody wants to sit in the courtroom, AH, but people have watched seven hundred seasons of law and order. Sometimes during jury do that. This is boring. I'm gonna Watch more law. Think about if the trial is a podcast, everybody wins right, justice has served, jurors on board and, best of all, everyone gets to go home with a Promo code for a shirt that you don't have to talk in now here's here's the thing. The full story is this. It wasn't just the podcast that helps free

say it. What happened was so it'd got lucky enough that his case came up for review to a prosecutor who used to be a public defender Right, and that prosecutor dug through the case files deeper than she had to and found all sorts of problems with the original prosecution. So she asked the judge to vacate the conviction and let's say it go. Yeah, and they did this while they decided whether or not to put him on trial again. But remember, the prosecutor didn't have to do any of that.

She could have just said yeah, maybe it wasn't a completely fair trial, but tough ship. But no, she said no, if we're gonna put somebody in prison, it has to be without any doubt, and that shows you the difference between a justice system that wants justice versus the system that just wants to put people in prison. This prosecutor is like those employees in the shoe store who offered to check in the back when they don't have your size. You know what I mean, when they actually go let

me check that. As those employees, we're like sorry, man, I ain't got your size you can you check in the back? They're like no, I'll be better if it's a chop of your feet. I'm get more people like that. But let's move on to some news about climate change, because no matter what else is going on, climate change is still happening, the ice caps melting. It's not like they're like, Oh, damn, did you see that Adam Levin story on Tiktok. I'll melt later because you gotta check

this out. No, the climate change is still getting worse, and it doesn't mean that it's gotten worse for everybody, though. In fact, in Mexico, the effects of climate change have created business opportunities for drug cartels. An investigation by Vice News has found that Mexico's notorious Sinaloa drug cartel is now in the water business. After a major drought dried up lakes and rivers across northern Mexico, the cartel began siphoning off anything that remained and selling it to farmers

and businesses. In some cases, they even hijacked water trucks at gunpoint. Yeah, you hear that. Drug cartels are running water now, controlling the water. We laughed at the Fire Festival guy, but sooner or later every one of us is gonna be sucking for a bottle of Poland spring. Because here's the thing. Just because climate change happens gradually,

it doesn't mean it's not a crisis. And People Watch Mad Max and they're like, AH, that's a bit unrealistic, but remember that's not day one didn't start like that and morten Jo didn't roll up into the office like that. It was gradual. And if drug cartels are not gonna be selling water, that means now we have to be worried about whether or not it's pure. If we'RE NOT gonna start cutting it with like like urine or yea or,

even worse, Tasani. You never know, and if you're not disturbed about what's happening in Mexico, you should be, because water is a resource people. It's a resource that everyone needs to survive. It's not something that should be controlled by drug cartels. That's Nestle's business, and Sin Aloe stepping on their Goddamn Dart bend the hall. Speaking of climate change, as the world tries to become more green, one of

the major challenges has been airplanes. All right, the problem is it's hard to make them green and we need them. We use them for everything. You know, shipping products people, you know, dragging giant signs across the sky so people know that there's a mattress sale. Without planes, how are you ever going to join the Mile High Club? Uh, have you ever tried to smash in a hot Air Balloon?

The splinters get everywhere. Plus that old man is judging you the whole time, while you're paid for an hour, so you should have got fifty seven minutes left, kid. So the truth is we're gonna have to get serious about fighting climate change, even if it means taking some big swings, which is why Air Canada has made an exciting new announcements. Air Canada is buying electric planes for the first time. It is purchasing thirty battery powered regional

aircraft from Heart Aerospace, a Swedish company. The planes carry up to thirty passengers and will generate zero emissions. Now that's what I'm talking about people. Electric planes cleaner, efficient, quieter. So now you'll really be able to hear the baby crying behind you, you know. And I was like, Oh, that's one thing. I don't know about you, but I'm excites this, for this, you know, like I can't. I can't wait to fly on maybe the second or third one they make. Yeah, like left the fly for a

year and then I'll jump on. I'M gonna jump on immediately. I mean, like, here's the thing. They won't even let us fly with a big battery on a plane because they're scared it will burst into flames. But now the whole plane is just a big battery. You would be comfortable with that. I'm just saying. I'M gonna know. Maybe we just make everything on the ground electric first, befo we do it in the sky. It's gonna be dope when you think about it, you know, because once electric

planes are going, it's gonna be easy. You just leave them, plug them charging at the airport and boom, zero emissions. We should also prepare ourselves, though, for that occasional flights when we find out at thirty feet that the plane wasn't fully charged because, yeah, because the plug did that thing which just hangs off. So the plug does that. Now you're on four percent. It's just like a ladies and gentlemen, does anybody have a portable charger? I'm I'm joking.

That's not how technology works. Come on, people, if the plane gets low on battery, just put an airplane mode. Problem solved. Come on, fight. Finally finally gets a story. Here's a story I have to share with you, guys, because I can't tell if it's amazing or terrifying or both. Like, how many ants do you guys think they are on earth?

A billion, a trillion? What turns out your way? Off and the Washington Post reports scientists related how many ants are on earth and they say the number is unimaginable. Scientists from the University of Hong Kong analyze hundreds of studies and concluded that there are nearly twenty quadrillion ants burrowing around the planet. Uh, there are about two and a half million ants for every person. Wow, twenty quadrillion ants on the planet. I've heard that news today and

I was like what? That doesn't even sound like a real number. Sounds like what I makeup. If someone asked me how many ants there on the plane, I'd be like, I don't know, like quadrillion. But no, an actual scientist has counted them all. And I mean that's the person I feel bad for, because they were probably like seventeen quadrillion, seventeen quadrillion and thirty six. I was like hey, him, you want to grab a coffee? I was at the middle of something. Oh, one, two, three, and you heard

what they said. They said this number means there are two point five million ants for every person and that's really bad news. Yeah, because I can fight like twenty ants tops. After that I'm leaving the picnic. All right, that's what the headlines. But before we go to break it, so I'm to check and all the latest social media trains without very own Ronnie changing. Everybody a chair. Look at that face. Look at that face. Um, hey, drever, hey,

how's it going, man, what's what's happening online? Ronnie, how's it going online? Oh, it's it's terrible. In reading it all day and it feels like someone's been taking a sledgehammer to my Crotch, and uh, in a fun way, you know what I mean. Other than that, I'm doing pretty good. Excited for fall. Halloween is coming up right.

Probably gonna dress up like a cat right. So, anyway. So, as you know, the big dumb trend of the day is happening on Tiktok, where people are cooking chicken with night quail, otherwise known as chicken Ala Cosby, and my question is, why are people complaining? Okay, this might be the best Tiktok challenge yet. I mean, dumb teenagers are gonna eat this, get sleepy and then what? Go to bed? Where's the downside? And everyone's like, I know, looking at this,

going like that's discuss thing. WHO CAN EAT? There's this gross guys this isn't even close to being the grossest food I've seen in America. Okay, let me tell you. I eat in the middle school cafeteria twice a week and that ship is inevitible. Right. You call those fish sticks. Now, for legal reasons, the POTTY poopers, otherwise known as the lawyers, have said I cannot encourage any want to abuse Nike will. So for the record, do not eat delicious night will chicken.

But the most annoying thing on the Internet today is because of this serial podcast. Everyone's espousing the benefits of podcasting. All these people trying to free other people from prison using podcasts. Let me tell you something. Okay, right now in prison it's mostly trump advisors and January six rioters. Okay, so that's this thing. Just through a little bit. Okay, do you want to get a capital destroyed? Enough already, enough,

enough with the podcast enough podcasting. It's gone to the point where every unqualified loser with a mouth and a microphone has a podcast. Now, all right, I mean just just look at this guy. All right, new podcast episode drops tomorrow. Okay, first of all, you don't drop a podcast episode. Okay, this isn't a Kendrick Lama album. Also, on Second Thought, Oh that's a really nice title. Here's a third thought. Do you need a TV show and a podcast? I mean how much do you need to

kill yourself? Speak and look at this, look at this pensive podcasting face here until serious, let me visit. Look at me being serious. It's almost looks like you freed someone from prison with your podcast, have you? Have you gotten anyone out of prison? Free Steve Bannon man, free my boy Bann and your Ben. And what's up opinion that will gain you out? And by the way, by the way, twenty quadrillion ants. That's too many ants. All right, someone should get on there. Back to back to you, Trevor.

Thank you. Thank you so much for running chaining. All right, when we come back we'll tell you who is out trumping Donald Trump, so don't go away. Welcome back to the daily show. As you know, last week the immigration debate in America was reignited once again by Ron, the Sanctis Florida Governor and the dad of your school bully.

You see, for months now, Republican governors in Arizona and Texas have been trying to draw attention to border security by bussing migrants to places like New York and Chicago. But the sanctists took things up a notch by hiring a plane to take forty eight Venezuelan migrants from Texas and dropped them off in Martha's vineyard. And if the sanctists was looking for attention, well he definitely got it.

Some Democratic lawmakers want the Justice Department to open an investigation after fifty Venezuel in my rents, were flown to Martha's vineyard last week. This morning, attenis share of launching a criminal investigation against Florida Governor Rhn de Santis. Massachusetts authorities want a federal human trafficking probe into what it calls inhumane acts by the Santis and others. They were told there was a surprise present for them and that there would be jobs and housing a waiting for them

when they arrived. This was obviously a sadistic lie. Were Lord by false pretenses and then transported across state lines. That is enough evidence to open a criminal investigation for the federal crime of kidnapping by inveiglement. Kidnapping by Inveiglement, I sort of God. Republicans are gonna give me a Lord degree by the time the ship is all about. We keep learning about new things inveiglement. But yeah, basically

the santists tried to pull the stunts. That may have turned into an actual crime, but it doesn't surprise me, it doesn't prive me the Rhonda Santis is doing this. He looks kind of like human trafficker. I don't know for real. Look at him, just look at him. Look at him. Tell me, tell me that's not the pose of a man who's smuggling a group of Venezuelans up his buck. Look at that guy exploit so too many, too many Democrats, especially the Sanctis is basically just a

kidnapper in a fronty suit. But what's interesting is ova and Magaworld. De sanctis has been getting heroes welcome. This weekend in Kansas, Florida, Governor Rhan de Santis received a standing ovation from Republican voters when he talked about the southern border. As stunts go, this has been an incredibly brilliant stunt, obviously a boss move by de Santis. I think this is brilliant and they need to do more tomorrow. Martha's Vineyard needs a hundred, the next day they need

two hundred, the next day they need a thousand. Martha's Vineyard Lost Their Mind, rob De Santis, he's playing chess here. Democrats and our allies in the media, they're playing checkers. The hypocrisy is now out in the open. This is amazing. This is checkmate. Oh, checkmates. Yeah, I like how Republicans are like no, no, we're not using immigrants as pawns. But also checkmate. As you can see, conservatives, they're just using their pants over this thing. It was brilliant, a

boss Move Yas Queen. Martha's vineyard lost their mind. And, by the way, did it really did it? DID MARTHA'S VINEYARD LOSE ITS MIND? Fifty migrants showed up out of nowhere and the people of Martha's Viney gave them food and shelter and then exchanged hugs with them as they boarded buses to leave. Now I know Ted Cruz has never been hugged before, so he may have thought that they were trying to strangle each other, but that doesn't

look like people losing their minds to me. And this really shows you how America is living in two completely separate realities right now, in the democratic world, this was a heartless and illegal stunt. In magaworld, this is the most brilliant thing anyone's done since Jesus invented the air of fifteen. Yeah, Democrats Say Matha's vineyard proved the sanctus wrong by welcoming the migrants with open arms. Maga world says they proved the sanctus right by shipping the migrants

off to a ministry base off the two days. It's pretty wild. I mean, at this point in America's basically the multiverse. There's one universe where the sanctus is a god and simultaneously another universe where he's headed to prison, as has those hot dogs for fingers. But believe it or not, believe it or not, there is actually one conservative who is upset with the sanctists, and you'll never

guess who it is. Rolling Stone reports that trump is upset about the santiss decision to fly nearly fifty migrants from Texas to Martha's Vineyard last week, not because he thinks it was a depraved and irresponsible and inhumane practice to target asylum seekers. No, trump is angry because it was his idea first, according to the story the former president, quote then hire. That de santiss latest stunt was yet another one of my ideas that the governor allegedly stole

from trump. Oh Man, poor donald trump, who's just sitting at home like you. Stole my idea. And, by the way, stealing stuff is also my idea. Read the news, read it anyway, my idea. But you know what's really telling, he is that in a way, trump has a point. Right. Here's the guy who came up with the idea of turning all politics into a series of stunts. That is what he did the Muslim bad build the wall. That

ship didn't solve anything, but got the people going. And now putting stunts has become the driving force of the Republican Party. But trump, he stuck watching it on the sidelines. Yeah, and I feel bad for you, Mr Trump, but the fact is, on the Sanctus, you see what he's doing. He's slowly becoming the Republican Party now, stealing your tricks, making it his own, and so you gotta you gotta get used to this. I'M gonna get used to being smuggled in his butthole for the ride. Alright, stay tuned,

because when we come back. Jennifer Lewis is gonna be joining on the show, so don't go wrong. Welcome back to the day show.
