You're listening to Comedy CENTRALOW coming to you from New York City. Please loose me city in America. It's the Daily Show, Florida, Ghost Trower, the Internet, it's another thing. George Stephanopolis. This He's the Daily Show with Trevor. Everybody, Welcome to the day shot coming on. Thank you so much for chuning In, Thank you for coming out in Houstons, thank you for Beniapania, thank you so much for Bania. We have got a cham Pat Chophi and tonight, take
a seat. Let's get into it. Mother just became a billionaire. The game of chess is getting dirty, and there's been a massive outbreak of racism under the CE. So let's do this people. Let's come straight into today's headlines. All right, I'm gonna be honest. With all the news that happened today, I don't think we have enough space in today's show. Yeah, I'm sorry. I tried everything. I even went to a Junkyard and asked them to use that machine that crushes the cars, and now I need a new car. But
there's still too much news and not enough time. Fortunately, not enough time is just enough time for a segment. Week call ain't nobody got time for that. Let's kick things off with one of the most amazing and positive stories involving a billionaire. You know how most billionaires only seem to want to get more and more and more billions so that I guess they can afford the new iPhone. Well, it turns out not every super rich person thinks like that.
In an extraordinary active charity, the founder of the outdoor gear and clothing brand Patagonia has given away his three billion dollar company ownership has now been transferred to especially created trust that is going to use any profits not reinvested in the business to fight climate change. That's expected to be roughly one hundred million dollars a year. Three year old Devon Snard, who started Patagonia roughly a half centur year ago, said quote, we are making Earth our
only shareholder. Wow. The founder of Patagonia decided being a billionaire was too much balling for any one person, and so he's decided to give all the money away. What which where you think about? It? Is actually the most bullet move of all time. Huh yeah, because who's more of a baller the person who has a billion dollars or the person who literally used their billion dollars to make it rain. That's what he's doing because the Earth
is going through a drought. You saw what happened in California, Like, I'm gonna make it rain. And who would have thought that a billionaire could give away his money to help the planet instead of trying to escape it in a Penis rocket. I didn't even though that was possible. I didn't know, but apparently you can. And if I'm the Earth, this is great news for me because I mean, yeah, pollution is killing me, but now I'm rich enough to stunt on other planets. Where's your private chet, Pluto? Are
you even a planet anymore? Bamn bitch? I would say it's gonna be a little bit awkward for if A Charnaud's kids when they try and explain why they didn't inherit their dad's billions. You know, it's like, so did your father give you the money? It's like, no, he gave it to a polar bear. It's like, damn, you
probably suck. Now. If we had more time, we could talk about how the founder of Patagonia is showing us that you can still be super rich and not be a billionaire and he's showing that hyper capitalism isn't the only way of business can run, and it can still be successful, and it can still make money, and it can contribute as much as it gets. But we don't have the time to talk about that, because well, the owner of Patagonia is trying to be the biggest advocate.
Florida governor run the scientists is trying to be the Earth's biggest dick. Now to that dramatic and controversial twist in the battle over immigration. Overnight, the governor of Florida taking credit for sending at least two planes filled with migrants to the wealthy Massachusetts island of Martha's Vineyard. The planes carried fifty migrants from Venezuela, and the island community was given no heads up about it. All they did was see some planes and a bunch of people come off.
The group arrived with children and some elderly family members, all of whom could not speak English. The community, though, banded together they helped them. They set them up in a nearby church overnight. Now, what's truly bizarre about the situation is all of these immigrants came from Texas, and it appears only the planes were provided by Florida specifically
to bring them here. You know, there's assholes and then there's this guy not because you know, sometimes you know someone is so terrible, the would asshole doesn't quite capture the essence enough, you know, because everyone is an asshole, Like my neighbors an asshole. You know, drivers and trafficker assholes. Hell, I'm an asshole. But Run to Sanctists he's like, he's like the little edges, little ridges around the asshole. They
really catch all the ship. And because I can't show you that on TV, here's a picture of a star wos mold, so you know exactly what I'm trying to say. It's these little Because here's the thing. Remember, Run to Sanctists is the governor of Florida. So why is he grabbing refugees in Texas and shipping them to Massachusetts? Huh? Why so he can prove that America's immigration system is broken. Yeah,
everyone knows that. But instead of pushing lawmakers to actually reform the system, he's doing taxpayer money to what go viral because that's what he what he what he wants to do, right, And this is what gets to me. If you told the Sanctus to spend the same amount of money helping these asylum seekers, he'd be like, Oh, we don't have the funding for that, But to troll the Democrats, suddenly he's like, put it on my card. Yeah. And by the way, America actually has a history of
doing this. In the nineteen sixties, racist organizations in the South shipped black people up to than states to make liberals uncomfortable. But Rondan Sanctus obviously doesn't know about that because the pages in his history books were torn out
any state. So I get it now. If we had more time, we could delve into a long history of how American lawmakers are all too happy to put tons of resources into destabilizing Central and South American countries, but when the effects of that destabilizational felts in America, suddenly they don't have the money to make the consequences of
their actions. But we don't have the time to get into that, because while American lawmakers arguing about what's happening at land borders, Americans on the internet are at war about what's happening under the sea. The new trailer for the live action remake of The Little Mermaid already has more than a hundred million views. While it's got a lot of fans, it is also being attacked by some
Internet rolls. The actress Hallie Bailey stars as Ariel in Disney's new live action film, and she looks at nothing like the animated Little Mermaid with red hair from the original nine classic. The trailer has received more than one point five million dislikes on YouTube. Then there are the ugly racist tweets the Little Mermaid is white, not black. Rarely people were doing this again. Huh, she looks nothing like they're nothing like. They both have the tail, they
both have the red she looks nothing like her. How do I even know that she's not Myrmaid? Once again, a bunch of Internet racists so upset that a fictional character is being played by a black person. And honestly, I don't know what the big deal is. You guys realized that Nemo was black too, right, Yeah, that whole movie was about a fish who can't find his dad. Yeah, calm down, calm down. I can say that because my dad left and he's white. So who's racist now? He's
so ridiculous. First of all, of course, the Little Mermaid is black, alright, everyone whose name starts with little is black, Lotule, Wayne, Little NASAs Little Kim. Honestly, if you heard that there was a woman named Little Mermaid, you just assume that she's on the track with Cardy B. You know, but not wet ass Flippers. So look, so look, stop being ridiculous. It's imaginary, you know. I hope the scandal doesn't overshadow
the rest of the movie. The Little Mermaid is a beautiful story about a young woman changing her core identity to please a man. Let's not forget about that. People. Well, look, if we had more time, we could talk about how Disney already created a black Mermaid thirty years ago and nobody can, or how there's still plenty of white princesses for little girls whose dream it is to be in a monarchy. And let's not forget you can still watch
the original Little Mermaid. It's not like if you try to turn it on, Micky's gonna jump out of the screen and be like racist. But we don't have time for that, because racism isn't just on Twitter. It turns out it's also ruining the NBA. Deceiving the major headline out of the NBA. They have now suspended Phoenix Suns
and Phoenix Mercury owner Robert Sarver for a year. They find him ten million dollars after a nearly year long investigation that detailed in appropriate behavior during his eighteen years with the team. The league says Sarver, whose teams are mostly black, repeated the N word five times, bullied employees, and sent pornographic material, including a video, to staffers. Server also allegedly made jokes frequently to employees in large in
small settings about sex and sex related anatomy who. They say, this guy was using the N word, he was bullying people, and there was sexual harassment. That's a triple double and HR violations. I mean, how do you justify sending porn to your employees? What are you doing? What's what's the rationale? Just be like, do you see that gang bang video that I emailed you? Well, that's the kind of teamwork I want to see at the court tonight. People come on,
get off there now. To be fair. To be fair, Saba wasn't calling black people the N word, all right. He was just allegedly repeating black people's use of the N word and then complaining about why he couldn't say it, but they could, but he was saying it. So he isn't necessarily racist, but he's definitely a moron. And here's
what I don't get. Here's what I don't get. If you're someone who wants to walk around saying the N word, then pretty much the worst place in the world for you is the NBA, because like I love saying d N word and I hate the sound of squeaky shoes. Well,
my man, you chose the wrong field. Now, if we had more time, we could talk about whether or not a one year suspension is enough of a punishment for what this owner has done, because if you can't learn in five minutes that you shouldn't be saying the N word, and I'm not sure that the year is going to help. But we don't have the time for that because while the NBA is dealing with one bad owner, there's a scandal in the chess world right now that is shaking
the entire sport. A cheating scandal is rocking the world of chess like never before. After World chess champion Magnus Carlson recently lost a match to young up and comer Hans Nieman Carlson abruptly quit the tournament and then posted a cryptic tweet that many interpreted as an accusation that Nieman had cheated. Since then, speculation has run wild about how Niemen could have cheated, some people suggesting that some kind of wearable vibrating device could have been feeding him moves.
A world chan bean has never withdrawn from a chess tournament before this in the history of the game of chess, so it's really unprecedented. Yeah, you damn right, this is unprecedented. A chess grand master might have been cheating. That is disgusting. The game of chess is sacred. It's an ancient game of skill and strategy with the little horses that you play with. I'll shape now. Even though lots of people are accusing Nemon of cheating, nobody can say exactly how
he did it, although you may have heard them say vibrating. Yeah. The one theory which the Internet is running wild with is that he used vibrating anal beads to tell him what moves to make, which I know sounds nuts, but I get why someone would use vibrating anal beats to cheats, you know, because even if you lose, you still kind of win, you know, And let's be clear. Let us be clear, there is absolutely no place for sex toys in the game of chess, except for the pawns and
the bishop if you nasty. Now, if only we had more time, we could have so much fun joking about which vibrations equal which moves, or we could even talk about the real scandaling chess, which is how all the pieces the same size? So is the giant horst the size of a castle or is a tiny costle the size of a horse? Either way, protecting okay, it's the
least of your problems. But we just don't have the time for that, because I'm being told through my vibrating beads that we need to go to a commercial break. So don't go away, because when we come back, we're gonna find out what you know about the news, You know what I mean, Welcome back Tuesday's show. You know, here at the show we pay a lot of attention to what's going on in the news, but how much
other people outside our studio following along? Well, we sent Michael Costa to find out for another edition of phil me in Welcome to Welcome to answer the question. Answer the question with Michael fill me in time to find out how much New Yorkers know about today's most trending quotes. Taylor Swift, her new album is called Midnight's is for people who lie awake at night quote hoping that just maybe when the clock strikes twelve, we will fall asleep,
party turn into a pumpkin. Do you think Taylor Swift's new album Midnight's is a homage to Cinderella? Something like that? Hey, why does your dumb husband say things like this? What's another word for green that has most of the same letters in it? But isn't green? Meet yourself? Mayor? How is the right answer? Big reaction? All right, who's this my man? That's my man, Timothy Shallowman. That is Harry Styles.
It's Harry Styles. All right. He just said this about his new film, my favorite thing about the movies, And it feels like that is good and it's wrong. What does the movie feel like? Entertainment? Entertainment? How is the movie supposed to feel It's supposed to be like a book? No, it's it supposed to feel like a TV show? No? No, is it supposed to feel like a Broadway musical? No, no, So a movie is supposed to feel like entertainment. No, shut up, you already said that the movie feels like Yes.
Timothy shallow May said at the premiere of his newest movie, it's tough to be alive right now. Blank is in the air. Um, love is in the air. Do you smell love? Not really around here? It's something that happened in Rome. Let me see if that works. It's have to be alive right now. Ashes in the air. What happened around eventually in fellow? Whoa? Now we're getting somewhere. It's too late. Really, we should just be packing a go back. You know what I'm saying. Society, You got

Well guess what brain is wrong. Let me give you a hint. It's one part of her body that we've seen the least of. You're gonna say, feet, what's on the feet, shoes, what's in the shoes? Socks? Sucks? What's in the socks? Feet? What is in the feet? Not all of today's quotes are from movie stars. Okay, AOC

But using her word for poop. Oh, now put it together. It's really important for people to feel like they're elected officials. Give this ship to great give the ship. Do you feel like you're elected official gives a ship about you? You know, it does give
a shit about you. Harry Styles, Yeah, I think so much about Michael I say truth because when we come back stepping up and this will be joining me, welcome back to the day to show my guest to Mike's the host of Good Morning America, and this week he's here to talk about his new weekly political docuseries for
WHOKNU called Power Trip, which premier is September. Please welcome George Stephanopolis Stepanoplus, Welcome to the great to be here, this is this is so amazing having you here because I mean like I feel like this is your world. You know, you're one of the most familiar faces. You one of the names that is most synonymous with all things news, and now you're taking us behind the scenes in this docuseries where NBC ABC is gonna be um
embedding journalist seven young journalists. They're in their twenties. They're all ambitious, passionate, smart kids. They don't have a lot of experience, but they're gonna go out on the campaign trail basically his own defense, covering the country and cover all these campaigns. We're doing it for the first time for these midterm elections. Because I said it in that clip, I think our democracy is at stake in these mid terms.
We've never seen anything like it before, and we want to make sure we get it in as real way as we can. It feels like these mid terms are going to be different, and you know, and people often say that I've seen, you know, American news try and drum up interest, but it feels like these are going to be at this time. This is the first time I think in a midterm election we saw a little bit of a lot of it where the very way
we debate and decide elections is under assault. I mean, you've got of the country who still doesn't believe the last election is over, of the country who is determined who doesn't accept facts in a in a debate, And you know, our whole system is premised on the ideas both sides can argue out based on a common set of facts. Whoever wins wins and you go on to fight another day. This is different because that has not
been settled after the last election. Let me ask you this as somebody who's been covering the news for so long and somebody who's been involved in campaigns. You've seen the types shift, You've seen the attitude change. Did you see this coming? Is it new? And if if you did see it coming, what was the moment. There's gonna be one moment where you you noticed that something had I can't say I ever saw this coming to this degree.
I never believed. I mean I still well up when I think of the capital under assault on January six after an election. Our whole system is premised on the idea of a peaceful transfer of power. But the change that started to happen, and you make it sound like I'm very old, I guess I am. But when I first worked it could be at when I first worked in campaigns, we used to footnote our commercials because we were so concerned about being called out for not telling
the true. Interesting, But what has changed over time is that as each side basically just tries to get out their own voters rather than trying to persuade others, they care less about whether they're called out by the media
on telling that true. You know, it's interesting you say that because I've noticed on on the news shows you'll be talking to politicians, and back in the day, it felt like a politician was so afraid to to contradict themselves, to be a hypocrite, to have any moment where there was a discrepancy. And now it feels like just having the platform to come on your news show and say something is more important than whether whether or not you
will you know what they love. Often you'll have someone come on and you can show and it can be footnoted. You can go to the dictionary, you can go to eight thousand reference books and say you're just not telling the truth, and they say, well, you're lying, and they don't care because to the group of voters they're trying to appeal to, calling us out whether they we're right or wrong, works for them. So do you do you ever get to a point whereas the news organization you
say we can right now. I mean, I will not put anybody on my show who will not accept the results of the last election. Just they don't come on. Um, well you have you have me keep scumming up all the time. I had an interview with a senator a few weeks back, which I still can't believe. And remember how when Hillary Clinton had her emails that were classified, Trump said locker up, Republicans wanted investigation after investigation. This senator would not even say that Trump having all of
those documents in his house was wrong. Four questions, four times, I would not say it was wrong. So you're in an interesting position. For a long time, America had an agreed idea of what was happening on the news for the most parts, supposed right. Cable news came and then it became, you know, really positive, and you could have it this way and you could have it that when
your facts could almost be Alacotte. Now you still occupy a position to you know, yeah, but you still occupy this position when most people think of it as Okay, this is the middle, this is but the overtson window of middle is shifting. How do you not respond, do you try and do you have to cater to some
of these positions, Here's what you don't do. I mean, I think there is a risk when you're talking to certain politicians if if you're willing to say what you're saying is not true, and sometimes you have to risk looking partisan by doing that. But I think we can't bow to that threat. I mean, as long as as I'm confident when I am that we're arguing about facts, undisputable facts, I have no problem saying you're not telling the truth, even if that's going to cause somebody to say, oh,
you know, you're just being a political hack. You have to do that. That's what we have to stand up for as journalists, right and wrong, fact not fiction. You, um, you are now sending these journalists as m beds. You know, they on the ground, they're getting information on the ground from these people. What we see even in that clip, and I think the documentary it really gets into it
is people say, well you have fake news. Do you think we're moving towards a world where the news is what you want to hear and then what you do essentially almost falls away. It's it's the great I think it's one of the greatest dangers of democrat see faces right now. I think there's no question about that. You see it right there. By definition, there's gonna be certain people who, no matter what the facts are, if I'm
saying it, you're a liar, it's fake news. If they're if they're Kennedy is saying he's right, not wrong, and you're right, people just end up going to the places where they know the view that they already have is going to be reinforced whether or not it's true. Have you found any way to break through on the ground on your show in any of the trying to do it?
With this new show, I think what we're gonna try to do is show the process of these young reporters trying to get the truth, show them doing it in the right way, showing them doing it we hope with integrity, showing the risks they take to do it, and if I think if people have if if if we have some transparency on the process, I hope that people will trust what they're hearing. Well. I wish you the best
of luck. Thank you so much. The Jenny Una say really fascinating about the series, and make sure to check it out. Short stuffing off with everybody say check right back afterday, thank you must.
