Russia's International Space Station Pullout | Molly Burke

things to talk about. The Pope is confessing his sins, Russia is now beefing with people in space, and our guest is the m IN nominated Star of Succession. Brian Cox is joining us on the show. Everybody so stars through this people, Let's go straight into today's headlines. All right. Before we get into the big stories, let's catch up on a few other things that are going on. First of all, Jeopardy has finally chosen its permanent hosts. And no it's not Steve Harvey's too busy doing every other

game show. It's actually gonna be Myam Bielik and Ken Jennings. Yeah, that's really really great for them. Congratulations to my man can't or is your grandfather calls them not Alex Trevac and lady not Alex Treback. In Scott's News, the NFL has announced that they're launching their own streaming service, which is fantastic because I don't know about you guys, but we just don't have enough of them right now, you know.

And this app is apparently going to have all of the preseason games, which is kind of like paying to watch the story part in pawn, But I guess that's what some people like, so this is gonna be good. In Politics News, Mike Pence says he's being treated differently now that he's no longer vice president and that he had to recently wait twenty five minutes for a table at olive Garden. Yeah, which sucks, yes, but on the upside, Trump supporters aren't trying to kill him anymore, so I

mean pros and cons, pros and cons. I won't say it is a little while to me that Mike Pence even goes to olive Garden, Like, I think it's dangerous to eat an olive garden when you look so much like a breadstick. There I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, And of course, of course I'm sure you've all heard the sad news. After nearly forty years, Klondike is discontinuing the chuckle Tackle. Yeah, it's not me, it's not me, it's them. I know, it's outrageous. The chuckle tackle is the perfect American fusion

of cultures. It's it's Mexican and sugar. And how are you gonna get rid of the chunk o tago before getting rid of the popsicle? Huh? Nobody likes those. This is dildos that give you brain freeze. Come on, But anyway, let's move on to some of the bigger news stories of the day, and we're gonna start off with the Catholic Church, the world's number one manufacturer of atheists. The Catholic Church has made many, many positive contributions to society

in the fields of art and science and philosophy. And if it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have come up with the smoke machines in the club, you know. But the Church has also done some bad things over the last say two thousand years, which is why, in a really positive development, Pope Francis is seeking absolution for the church's sins. On his first full day in Canada, Pope Francis delivered a historic apology for the quote evil committed

by so many distance against Indigenous people. At the sight of a former residential school in the Canadian city of Massa Cheese, Pope Francis was greeted with sacred drumming and dance rituals the Church once sought to erase. For around a century, more than one hundred fifty thousand Native children were taken from their families to attend government funded residential schools,

most of them run by the Catholic Church. They faced rampant neglect, physical and sexual abuse while being forced to assimilate. It is here the Pope issued a historic apology. I am here because the first step of my penitential pilgrimage among you is that of again asking forgiveness. You know what, to say, what you want. I love this Pope, I

really do. Yeah, Because ever since he's come into office or into power, or ever since he's gotten the gig, what do they even say over whatever it is, He's done a really good job of trying to write the Catholic Church's wrongs. You know, he's reached out to other faiths. He said gay people can get into heaven, and don't forget he added a popping lock to the sign of the cross. You know, he's just like, oh, you know,

nose pools. No, no, no, no. On top of that, on top of that, he's apologizing to Indigenous people in Canada for the role the Catholic Church played in trying to erase their culture. I'm glad he's doing that. It also must have been a shock to Canadians, you know, someone coming and apologizing to them. Mhould be like I'm sorry. It's like no, I'm sorry. Oh sorry. And you know, beyond the pope, yeah, the Pope is great in all of this, but you know who the heroes of the

story are the indigenous people. Yeah, for not just speaking to the pope, but for forgiving him, even letting him wear their traditional head dress. That was amazing. It was gracious, you know, unless they were just setting him up for a trap. You know, it's like we let bygones, bid bygones, please accept this headdress, snap photo, and you're canceled mother to cultural appropriation. They didn't do that, but it would

have been funny. Now apparently In addition to the apology, the church has also agreed to pay a settlement for what they did, which I think is fantastic, especially on the tribe for actually insisting on it. You know, because so many people's lives have been destroyed and a generation was thrust into poverty. So sorry is nice, but money goes a long way. Yeah. In fact, you know what they should put I'm sorry in the caption of the venmore payments. That's what they should do. And not just

the church, not just the church. Yeah, I think there should be for everyone. All those governments around the world, you know, stolen land from people, like in Africa. We've seen this all the time, right, England is always like, we're so sorry, we pillaged and plundered your country of all your natural resources. And Africans are like, okay, okay, can we have our diamonds back? And it's like, ah, but they're already in the crown. Yeah, but we can't

take it out. We can't a crown without chills. That's just the hat. Oh yeah, so I'm glad do something about it. Oh and speaking of people who are gonna need to apologize for a lot in the future, Vladimir

Putin back in the news. I guess he's never left ever since he decided to inherit Eastern Ukraine, Russia and the rest of Western you know, the rest of the West, really have been going through the twenty one centuries most savage breakup a right, There's been threats, h there's been sanctions, and just today Russia rarely escalates attentions by making big cuts to the amount of gas that it will send through its pipelines to Europe. Yeah. Now they're saying that

this is because of mechanical issues. Yeah, but I'm sure this is mechanical issues, the same way someone breaks up with you because you deserve better. Just be honest and say you can't see a future with someone who wears Crux two nice restaurants, Debbie just the beaven wears them now anyway. On top of all of that, Russia has decided to extend this beef into space. Let's just in the CNN, Russia says this morning that it is preparing to pull out of the International Space Station. That's a

big deal. Space agency official told Vladimir Putin it will leave the i S S quote after this withdrawal would be a major blow to the I s S, which has served as a model for international cooperation for decades, says it will start building its own orbiting outpost instead. Wow, Russia is officially pulling out of the International Space Station, which nobody asked them to do. We said pull out of Ukraine, not the space station. There's a Google Translate issue.

What's going on here? And you might not realize this, but this is actually bad news because Russia helps to operate the space station, which I didn't know about, you know what I mean? Like, I don't know about you. But am I the only one who's shocked by how many things are connected to Russia in the world? All right, like the world's energy supply, Africa's food supply, space travel,

minerals for our electronics. Soon we're gonna find out that Russia provides the sound for sneezes and without them, we can't complete the action. Not true for you. Come, by the way, I don't know why they call it an international space station. It doesn't seem very internationals basically, just Russians and Americans up there, like two other countries in the world's on International Space station. Back, how come they

know African countries up there? Huh. Why because we stopped playing soccer and accidentally kicked the ball through the window and everyone will get sucked into space. I mean that's a fair point, but still why So Yeah, the Russians are leaving the space station and although they think this is pretty cool, good luck to them making a dramatic exit when there's zero gravity. Number unless you to feel

the full force of my good rush ship. He's right, you can net okay, kill somebody, push me the world door, push me, just just push me into word, Push me the door and I can. I want to make the mothing exit. This okay, this is more exit that was being flour Just I'm just looking at all like idiot right now. Just okay, imagine you were crying and I'm gone, bitch, imagine imagine that be imagine that be. All right, that's

for the headlines. But before we go, let's check it on the traffic without very own roy would junior everybody, Yeah, what's going on? Or what is that? Man? To see how you're feeling for that? Yeah, I feel good, man, I feel good. Man. It's how does all outside? I don't mean it's safe, you feel safe? Yeah, I'm just

safel one especially with the traffic. Stuff is much safer when it's hot, like, because that's why people like you know, that's that's why I like by shootings got him in it because it was too hot to get out the car. Let's road rage. It's let's road. When it's hot, it's less road rage. So nobody want to get out the car to fight. You ever get out the car to whoop? Somebody asked me block ship and you get back in the car. Some stuff. You just gotta less slide. Man's

gotta let us slide no real quick, real quick. Man. Russia did what they were supposed to do. What Russia did exactly. What if somebody at your career and they're talking ship, just leave, Just leave. If somebody's talking crazy to you, you ain't gotta be around them, man, Just get gone. You ain't gotta put up when nobody talking talking wild? Do you like that? And plus American stupid for doing that. We ain't got no spacehal wait, we sold our space shuttle, so we ain't got no ride home.

Russia was our ride home. How you gonna talk ship to your ride home? And now they're gone, it's just gonna be a bunch of Americans sitting on the front porch or that space station, just waiting on Jeff Bezos to come pick him up in that dick rocket something. You know, you don't have to dick rocket. Bezol's head, the dick rocket. That's what I don't think he closed it a dick rocket. But I know what you mean. But like I said, dick rocket, you understood exactly what exactly.

If you said Jack Bezos is rocket, I also would have gotten it. You didn't have to include any anyway, what's going on in the traffic. Roy Chaco Taco was trash. Let's just be real about that. As a trash it was a trash ash treat man, and it just it didn't put like everybody loves to be sad whenever they get rid of one of these treats. Chocooco. For me, if everybody who loved Chaco Taco balled Chacolate Taco as much as they talk about how much they love Chaco Taco,

they still have a damn Chaco Taco. But you didn't do that when they got short days and gelato's not your chocolate Taco was damn gone, man. It was. I That don't mean it was delicious. It was just I It wasn't a classic. It wasn't a legendary ice cream tree. Let's be real about Chocko taco. It wasn't legendary. It was like it wasn't. It wasn't no necessarily crunch ball. It wasn't no flints, don't push up. It wasn't no

ice cream sandwich. The truth of a matter, Trevor, is that most of the foods we love, especially ice cream, we just attached to people that we had and built memories with while consuming that treet. You don't miss the choco taco. You miss your father and he's gone. That's what it is. I miss I miss I miss my m You don't have no, you don't. I don't have to. I'm gonna do the traffic. I feel like this went like there's a lot of pain right now. You don't

have to do the traffic. Traffic. This is weird because you're know you're crying and doing the traffic's gonna be weird. It's now we're all thinking about your dad and are you sure you want to do this? Roy? Okay, you can as long as you're good. Okay, Oh, didn't your dad drive a truck like that. No, right, right would Junior? Everybody, all right, don't go away, because when we come back, we're gonna learn how some blind people use dating apps. And Bryan Cox is joining us on the show. Don't

go Away. Welcome back to the Daily Show. Today marks the thirty second anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and so it's extra appropriate that my guest is popular YouTuber TikToker and instagrammer Molly Burke. She's a young woman who loves fashion, makeup and downhill skiing. Oh and she also happens to be blind. Please welcome Molly Burke. Yea than Molly Burke. Welcome to The Daily Show. Thank you

so much for having me. This is such a fun moment for me because I've seen so many of your videos. You know you you you aren't just funny, you are just engaging, but you dispel so many of the myths around how we see blind people, how we even think

about people with disabilities. And I think on it on a daylight today especially, it's really cool to have you here because I'd love to know just like the beginnings of it all you have you have a disability, and you know you go into the world, not just living your life, but thinking, how do I basically educate idiots? Which is which is what I feel like you do?

I think actually exactly the um. You know. I was diagnosed with a rare eye disease called red nightis pigmentosa when I was four years old, and so at that time, the doctor has told my parents one day she's going to go blind, but we don't know when it will be, so it's kind of preparing my whole childhood um. And I was slowly losing my vision, and then at fourteen, I very quickly lost the majority, leaving me now only with light and shadow. And at the time I lost

all of my friends. I was very badly bullied, and all of a sudden, society started treating me very different than how I was treated as an able bodied person, and I was really angry for a long time time. But in my own journey to recovery, I realized I can either be a victim and sit here and be angry that society does not understand, or I can actively be a part of educating society and taking that ignorance and and changing it um and by doing that, hopefully

changing the discrimination that disabled people face. That's amazing, alas amazing than you when you when you talk about discrimination. I hope people understand the levels that it comes on, because it's it's it's truly wild to see. For instance, there are people out there who still will say to you, Oh, you're faking it. Oh you're not blind. Oh how come how come your eyes are blue? This is this is

not a thing. And I was shocked to see how many stereotypes we have internalized about you know, blind people just you know alone, like told me through that how many people think you're just not blind? Oh? I mean there's whole Reddit threads devoted to dispelling that I'm blind. Somebody said I know too much about blindness to have never been blind, but that I must have gotten better, like it's the flu or something. Um, it's very much not like that. I promise, I don't like hold the

secret care for blindness. Um. The reality is most people will never meet a blind person in their lifetime, and so the only way we access things like blindness or disability in general is often through the media, and historically we've had very little representation, and when we do, it's a lot of misrepresentation because it's written, directed, and played

by able bodied people who are changing the narrative. And that's why I tried to take social media and use it as a way to take back the narrative for at least myself. I can't I can't be all blind people, but I can share my story as Molly, my experience. You know what I love about that is the fact that is exactly what you said is you've never tried to claim it as your own. You say, Hey, I am a blind person and these are some of the things that the blind community faces, but this is me.

And what I like about that is it reminds us to not see people with disabilities as a monolith. You know. It's so for instance, I learned from you. I didn't know that you know, you don't have to wear dark losses. I didn't know that you can look in the direction that you're speaking. Because again to your point, I've watched movies my whole life. I go like, oh, I know blind people, and it's like, no, I don't. I just

watched movies. That's all I basically did. Right, What are some of the day to day obstacles that you may face as a blind person that I think the rest of us should will be aware of. I mean, today I'm using a cane, but generally I'm a guide dog user and I can tell you that just trying to leave my house with my guide dog is a challenge.

I've been a guide dog user for fifteen years, and sadly the issues are only getting worse because of frankly selfish people who decided to buy fake service dog bests and certificates on Amazon and like take their pets places and give real service dog uses a bad name. And then again because I don't look blind, this stereotype that society has been given a blindness. When I'm like, oh, I'm blind and this is my guy dog, They're like, yeah, uh huh, I'm sure. And so that's a big issue.

So so what you you won't be allowed in to, Like what is like restaurants or where where do you find you'll get the most pushback? Ubers and lifts is absolutely my nightmare, which is so frustrating because obviously I can't drive, so uber a list is like what I take the most often. I like, I am giving you so much of my hard earned coin and you are slapping me in the face by constantly denying me. Yeah, it's it's it's sad, it's infurially, it's ridiculous. I mean,

that's why you you laugh about these things online. But we we take so many of these things for granted, I feel, because we don't understand the obstacles that are put in place of anybody with with with the disability. What what I've found interesting about your journey though, is you also you also find ways to It's not it's not really mock the world, but you you exist in it despite the limitations. For instance, I was shocked to hear that you will use dating apps like Tinder. How

else am I supposed to find a man? But I really need to understand about like so, like how how do you use it? So I use a screen reader called voiceover, and so it reads the bios to me. Obviously you cannot tell me what the photos look like. So that's where good friends and family come in and they give me the like, okay, you don't want to go on a date? I got it, got it, got it.

I've even described like so I would I would love to know like when when you meet somebody again, this is me just basing it on, you know, the few experiences I've had and then and then movies is like do you even care about what a person looks like? You know, because you'd hear those stories for instance, you know for movies that would be like, oh ray Charles would touch people's faces, like I want to know what you feel like in terms of your face? Do you

care or is it? Is it completely different for you? Most plain people don't feel faces. That is like a really big movie stereotype. The majority of us do not. Can you imagine if I was like, hey, Trevor, like it's like very weird, really uncomfortable, and so that's not wouldn't do it if I was you, because I would get away with it. No, I'm just saying as a comedian, I would just do that. I didn't once as a joke, like one of my friends was like, hey, I told

my girlfriend you feel faces? And I was like it, and so she like walks and I was like Vanessa and like like I like, we were all so serious for the whole and she's just standing there like bless her soul, just like because he told her, like, go with it, she'll be upset if you don't. You don't let it touch your face. But you see, this is what I mean. These are misconceptions that we have. These are different ideas. If people want to learn, if people

want to educate themselves. There's so many people out there who who aren't obviously trying to be against anybody who's disabled, but they but they really want to learn. What would you recommend for them? You know, what are good resources?

Where can they go? How do they learn? I mean social media is like the greatest place to turn to because there are so many disabled people on TikTok, on YouTube, on Instagram, on Facebook, making content, sharing our life experiences, sharing our day to day how we do things to show that like we can still do what you do, just in a different way. I love that. Thank you so much for joining me on the show. Thank you. It's showing me wonderful. I'm searching my hand out to

you or don't move, don't move. I'm I'm switching my hands out to say thank Here we go, thank you so much, Thank thank you so much. Be sure to follow money Brook a little fulkure media platforms that you when we come back, grind talk to stop professionals Jurney on the show Don't go right, Money don't go. Don't just stay there, stay they say this, stay that, don't

go yet. I'm gonna have the auto. Welcome back to the Daily char My next guest is award winning actor Brian Cox, who plays the patriarch and media titan Logan Roy in HBO's hit drama Succession. Please welcome Brian Cox. Ronald work of Mr Brian Cox. Wow, Wow, this is this is these are These are tough interviews for me because I I you know, whenever you speak to somebody who you've admired for so long, you have to try and gather all your thoughts. I have to breathe a

little bit. You you're you're easily one of my favorite actors in all of like my favorite movies. You like the best bad guy, and in real life you're such a good guy, which makes me go even the better acting you say, I'm rambling that. I'm just welcome to Welcome to the show. Good to have you, Welcome to the show. Very nice to be. No. I I you know, I was just watching that clip and it was very depressing because that's not me, and I keep That's why I never watched the show. No, I never watch it

because I can't bear this. I can't bear that guy. Well, actually that's not true. I quite like him, but but there's an aspect of him that I go, why, you know, why can't you just be a little nicer? You know. I think that's why the show is watched the way. I remember when Succession started, the thing that everybody says you All my friends said was, have you watched Succession?

I said, no, I haven't. They said you'd watched. I said, okay, I'm gonna watch it, and then they they said, you're gonna hate everybody, but you won't be able to stop watching. And then when you watch the show, you start to realize why. Like, your character is one of the most gripping character he's an asshole. But at the same time, we want you to win sometimes, but you shouldn't want to win, and you're the complete opposite of this character. And I think that's why it works. You bring up

something like an empathy maybe in the character. I mean, I have a lot of sympathy with him. I mean we both he and I are disappointed in the human experiment. We you know, we think that humans have really screwed the whole thing up, and it's getting worse on a daily basis. It is you comployed as much as you like.

It is getting bad, but it is. And and we've never been in such a bad time as we are at the moment, what with the Ukraine and the fact that we've had this ridiculous pink Pinocchio that's been the president here, and then we brought this clown from Eaton who's now finally trying to I don't know what he's doing, that Lyne Pratt from London. And it's just really bad. So both Logan and I we have a chat occasionally, and we've decided that the human experiment is in a

pretty bad place. But you have different ways of of of responding to it, you know where you know, you've always been somebody who was fighting for the working class. You you're the complete opposite of your character people totally. I'm an optimist. I mean that's the other thing. I mean, Logan isn't. He's investimers and I do believe that human beings can get better, but they've got to do a

lot of work. You've got to work for you were you always an optimist even as a child, because I have read about your childhood and you really lived a rough childhood. You really did well. You know it was rough, but a lot of the time I didn't notice because I was just getting on with it. You just have to get on with it, you know. You you dealt a hand of cards and you go, oh, this is the hand I've got, I see, and what am I

gonna do with this hand? And you do it as best you can and there's no good moaning about it. And you know, the things that happened to me, you know, we're pretty not nice. But at the same time, it's also made me who I am, so in a way, you have to be grateful for that, which is ungrateful, Yes, exactly. And and I feel blessed, you know. I I feel blessed really with my career and with the work I've been I've been able to do over the years. So I don't have any regrets at all. I mean, my

parents were wonderful people. They died far too early in my life, but I remember them very fondly and I still carry them with me, and I believe that. I believe that's the most important thing in life, is to honor your mother and your father, because they're the only proof you've got. There's nothing else. It's all made up all around you. But the reality is there was mum, there was dad, They did the business and you came out.

That's beautiful. I love that. It's it's interesting how you know, I've noticed this about you, and there are a few other actors, you know, out of the UK where you you approach what you do very much like a working way, you know. It's it's really interesting. You know, for many American actors oftentimes it can be like the celebrity and this and that. But with you, you have like a very much like I go to work, I do the thing, and then I go home and you know, and it's

it's also to do with our training. You know, we have really great training back home, and it's it's classical training, so and it goes a long way back right to Shakespeare and beyond, you know, so in a way that training helps you. It helps you enormously in dealing with the realities of life, because it is work is just doing it and doing it and doing it and doing it and doing it, you know, and you don't think. I mean sometimes a lot of American actors they kind

of treat it like a religious experience. You know, it's so hard what I'm doing. You know, I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to remove these teeth and I'm gonna play this role. I gotta how these teeth taken out, and it's going to be so ever gotten you go pritt end just pretend. I feel like I feel like all of that is the culmination of of of who

you are as a human being. You know, it's it's it's it's a young boy who grew up in a world where you know, he lost his parents and then and then got into an industry that that really turned into a fantastic career, and you become you know, such a such a reputable figure in it. And then on top of that, you've now used that platform to talk about the issues that are still close to you. For instance, you've got this documentary that you know that you've been

making about income, inequality, money and money. You know, you know, religion, all religions are kind of like Culder Sacks way, money isn't because money is what really separates people, and those who have it have it and those who don't really don't.

And that's what I've been doing over the last two or three months, four months actually, uh, trying to understand because because I'm playing this guy, you know, this fella, and because he is so impervious to the whole state of poverty, that it's important to understand the wealth gap that is increasing more and more and more and more, and in the you know, in in the United Kingdom

and also in the United States. I spent some time in Miami and that was an experience in a half because there is so yeah, it really was an experience in a half because there is a lot of rich people in Miami, but equally there are a lot of poor people, poor people, emigrant people you know, who clean up the rich people's toilets, who do everything, you know, all the menial tasks, and they are treated quite cruelly.

You know, a lot of them have you know, like they're building these whole high rises in certain parts of Miami, and uh, you know, people are literally being put out of their hose. You know, they're given six weeks to leave their homes. And these are people who've got kids in school, who has been very hard for them to get their children to school, to do certain things, and suddenly because they're building these high rises, them are empty, you know, but it's it's it's just greed. It's sheer

greed and nothing else. And my my most moving thing was I was back at my hometown of Dundee in Scotland, and on that I met this man who he came in. I was working with what they called the Larder Kitchen, where people are poor but they want to give the dignity of still being able to pay for what they get. So I was interviewed and I said, so this is for your family and he said, oh no, no, no, this is not for a family. He said, I come here on behalf of these people, older people who live

in high rises who can't get out. I said, so what is this you're wearing here? He said, oh, I'm blind. That's amazing. I said, what do you mean He said, no, I'm black. I mean I can see that much. He said, but I'm really I'm officially blind. But there's nobody else doing it, so I felt I should do it, and you go, this man's a hero. And that's the thing

that's great about human beings. That's when the human experiment goes, oh wait a minute, hang on, there are a few good people out there who really do these selfless things, and it's it's it's very moving, and it's very very humbling. It's humbling, it's amazing, and I'm so excited to watch it because I think one of the best storytellers because you're so engaged and you believe in it. Thank you so much for joining. You don't matter having you on,
