Taylor Swift Crashes Ticketmaster | Danai Gurira

into this. America denies the election, deny us. Louis Black exposes people who are secretly old and if you don't like crowds, well you might be living on the wrong planet. So let's do those 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, starting with Taylor Swift. This morning, tickets went on sale for the singer's first tour in four years, and so many fans rushed onto the ticket Master site that it immediately crashed and no one can get tickets. And yeah, ticket Master to Taylor Swift so wrong. She's already put out three albums about them. They're gonna learn their lessons. And look, I know everyone thinks getting these tickets is the most important thing in the world, but

it's really not all it. If you don't get them, just relax, log off, you know, just give the site like a chance to cool down and repair itself, and then you know, don't bother you, just you just chill. All right, I got mine. You can go back on, you can go back on, you do whatever you want. In in labor news, Amazon is reportedly planning to lay off up to ten thousand employees this week. Yeah, the

largest job cuts in the company's history. And I don't even know how this is possible, right, Me and everyone I know buy something on Amazon every day and then returns up the next day when we realize we didn't actually need it anymore. How are they not making money? And I feel full the Amazon workers who are getting laid off. But the silver lining is at least you can steal great ship on the way out. Yeah. No, at most offices you can only take what like a stapler.

But if you get fired from Amazon, you've got like seven air fryers. I was walking out of the warehouse like my prime day came early oh in uh in international news. Europe is on high alert tonight after Russian missiles aimed at Ukraine hit Poland instead. Yeah, which apparently could trigger a full natural response. And honestly, like, why do these world wars always gotta start in Poland? It's like the waffle house parking a lot of Europe And

I look, I don't want to scare anyone. I don't want to scare anyone, but this could be the beginning of World War three. I don't want to scare you. Though I'm not saying it will be, it could be. So remember this is a good time to just like spend time with your family, you know, put down your phones and just spend some more tickets. Suckers, I'm gonna be the front vote by myself. All right, all right, let's move on to some of the bigger stories of

the day. Start saying with the latest on the mid terms, which, yes, the votes are somehow still being counted. I think election officials are like using their fingers. I don't know. The

point is we need to be patients. But it's becoming increasingly clear that the American people, or at least the half of them who actually voted, have delivered a split decision, with Democrats taking the Senate and Republicans all but certain to win control of the House, which means that in order for Americans will succeed, Democrats and Republicans will have to work together, so America will not succeed. And you know, you know, it's it's kind of a weird situation for

Americans to vietin. You know, having a split Congress is like being raised by two parents who don't see eye to eye on anything. Like one parent wants you to take ballet lessons and the other parent thinks ballet lessons are a Communist plot to turn your trans and neither parent wants you to ask questions about who killed Jeffrey Epstein. But the mid terms weren't just about who runs DC. It turns out they were also about who runs the states.

And in Arizona, a closely watched governor's race has finally been called this morning, another major symbolic defeat for former President Donald Trump in the mid terms. Democrat Katie Hobbs narrowly beating Republican Kerry Lake for Arizona governor. Lake had been one of Mr Trump's most prominent allies in the mid terms and one of the stanchest supporters of his false claims, denying the results of the election, Lake continuing to question her own races results last night, tweeting Arizonans

no bs when they see it. Yes, apparently they do, but I guess in in the least surprising plot twist ever, a woman who ran on a platform of denying election results is now denying her election results. And in a way, I bet she's relieved that she lost. Yeah, because if she won, then what she would have to deny herself. It would have would have shattered her reality. It would be like t LC meeting a scrub and liking him. What it turns out a scrub as a guy who

can get love from me? What? Well, you know what, I'm gonna go chase some waterfalls. Anyway, this this is a lot for Carry Lake, So please please let's give her some space as she goes through the five stages of Republican grief, denial, denial, denial, pooping in Nancy Pelosi's office,

and denial. But remember, remember the reason this result has big implications is because with Carry losses, With Carry Lake's loss, rather every election denial running for governor or secretary of state in a swing state has now lost their races, which is huge for democracy. Did you directly? You know this is this is just like in those horror rooms where they killed the monster and then he never comes back again. You did it? Democrats, Now leave the knife

on the council and go take a sexy shower upstairs. Yeah, but enough about the midterms, enough about that. The campaign is over and it's time for the parties to govern. I'm shooting you, it's not gonna happen. It's actually time for the parties to campaign for the next election. I don't know why, but American loves campaign. Is that you campaign to campaign, campaign to campaign. It never ends. It's like seeing someone who's only interested in full play. You

like that, You're ready? Yeah, well, let's put your clothes back on and start again. Oh yeah, oh yeah, what's your name? Oh yeah, let's do that again. Anyway, as everyone prepares themselves to what race will be like with Trump, there's one parts. There's one parts that will be different this time, and that is one of Trump's biggest ass liquers is going to be leaving his ass very dry.

Nearly two years after a mob of Donald Trump's supporters attacked the capital, disrupting the transfer of power and chanting Hang Mike, and Trump's once loyal vice president is finally telling his story about what happened that day. The President's words were reckless and his actions were reckless. President's words that day at the rally endangered me and my family and everyone at the Capitol building. Given all that you witnessed in the Capital on that day, this is a

pretty straightforward question. Yes or no? Do you believe that Donald Trump should ever be president again? David? I think that's up to the American people, but I think we'll have better choices in the future. Oh yeah, good for Mike Pence telling Donald Trump, you almost got me and my family killed, which is why I'm now prepared to say that it's possible there are better alternatives to you in the next election called THEO. That decision will be

up to the American people. You tell them, Mike Pence, you tell him thrilled event, it's a simple question, do you support Trump or not. I don't believe Mike Pence is the one leaving us hanging, and I know I know why he's doing this right, and he's doing it he doesn't want to go too hot against Trump because he's still hoping to win over Trump's voters if he runs for president, which is so delusional. Trump's people were

the ones who wanted to kill him. The only reason they would elect him president so that they know for sure where he lived. Why would they vote for you? And even if that strategy works, it's still makes him a punk ass bitch, it does. I'm sorry for this. Not the type of man you want leading the United States? All right, Well do you quite even say the thing out loud? If Pence was president, forget China, Canada would be invading. Yeah. I was like, oh, sorry, sorry, We're

gonna take Oregon. It just seems so easy. Sorry, sorry, but let's move on to some international news right now. If you're going through a breakup, your friends might be telling you that there were lots of people out there and they're right. In fact, they're more right today than ever before. UN says that there will be a new milestone in human development as the world population is expected

to hit eight billion today. The agency adds that this unprecedented growth is due to improvements in public health, medicine and high levels of fertility in some countries. This is staggering when you consider that one hundred years ago, according to the U n the global population was two billion or under eight billion. Hell yeah, eight billion people, everybody, eight billion people on Earth. I didn't need the UN

to tell me this. I could already tell they were eight billion people because every single one of them was ahead of me. For Taylor Swift tickets in line. And I'm proud. I am proud of all of us people because say what you want about the human race, but one thing is for sure with Yeah, congratulations to everyone for smashing and yes, some people are working harder than others, but the rest of us deserve some credit to I kind of I kind of wish that the UN didn't

even announce this because it feels like bragging, you know. Yeah, Like I feel like COVID is gonna see that we hit a new population milestone and be like, well I saw them hit a billion, and I took that personnel. I saw that, and I was like, I might come back. And by the way, I get now why the United Nations never actually does anything. Yeah, people are like, can

you maybe stop the war in Ukraine? And they're like, sorry, we're kind of busy seven billion, two hundred million and one seven billion, two undred million and two seven billion, and a lot of people, A lot of people are worried that eight billion people is too much and that we need some weight control overpopulation. Although I find it interesting that those people never think of themselves as part of the problem, because those people are like Earth, there's

two crowded. We gotta get rid of some of these people. You're like, how about you your people? No, not not me. I met like China or something. Come on, how are you talking about? And honestly, I don't think it's a problem. Yeah, I think it's a myth. I think we can handle the Earth's population if we just do a better job of distributing its resources. Right. But but if if we are going to reduce the population, I think the smartest way to do it, it's just to get rid of

identical twins. No, because it's a waste. It's a complete waste. Right, we already have one of you, and it's like having two copies of the same picture on your phone, just the leak one easy at least. Wait, don't don't don't twist my words. Don't get it twisted. I don't want to hear identical twins being like, Oh, Trevor, are you saying you're gonna kill my brother? No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying you have to. All right, that's it for

the headlines. Before we go to break, let's chime, let's check in on the weather with the one and only. Desn't like like everybody says to have your back seasons are changing, So of what's that? What's the weather looking like? I don't know, Trevor. It's cold. It's called outside. It's cold in hair. You can't escape it, although your nipples are trying to I can see him through your shirt. Why would you tell the people that you know? Why?

You know? Why, Trevor, Because it's the truth, Okay. And if there's one thing that we learned from the mid terms, it's the power of telling the truth. The candidates who lied about the election they lost and the ones who told the truth one. So from now on, I am addicted to telling the truth and also uplifting, which I needed to say because I'm now telling the truth. No, I feel like I shouldn't be wearing that watch that you got me for my birthday. Oh no, no, don't worry.

I didn't shoplift that I founded in Ronnie's dressing room. Here's another truth, Katie Hobbs's victory wasn't just a win for truth. It was a win for women. Now there are a record twelve women governor serving at the same time. Twelve. That's amazing out of fifty. That's almost half of half, and only one of them almost got kidnapped last year. We're doing it ladies now. Yeah. You know, hopefully what happened in Arizona leads to more politicians telling the truth. Yeah, exactly.

I mean we even saw Mike Penn's coming around to the truth today, you know. I mean, he won't admit that his body is seventy manna's yet, but he did come out and say that he doesn't like when people try to hang him. So brave of him to speak his truth while promoting a book. You know, this just goes to show that people need to stand up to their bullies and tell them the truth. Speaking of which, Trevor, you got anything you want to say to me a little bit? No, ma'am, no, no, no, on the whistle

torn No, that's what I thought. What I thought. Look um, I'm the bully here I laughed at you. I'm sorry. Look Um, I just want to say, as long as we're telling the truth, I'm going to tell one of the hardest truths of all right here on the air tonight, in front of eight billion people. I assume they all watch Trevor. I. I don't know how to do the weather. I don't. I really don't. Thank you. They get it, thank you. I don't know what a low pressure system is.

I don't know how tornadoes work. What even is a wind chill? Does it make us cold? Or is it the wind that's cold? I don't know. Well, um, as as long as we're all telling truths, um des he, we all knew you couldn't do the weather. What did you say to me, bitch? Nothing? Nothing? Doesn't like to thank you for the weather. There's from plastic whoever. I appreciate your so much. All Right, when we come back, Bluest Black, it's gonna chose young people who are faking

being old. So don't go away. Welcome back to the Data Show. When a new story falls through the cracks, Lewis Black catches it for a segment we call back in Black as a man in the entertainment industry. I do everything I can to cling to youth like a sixty year old Tom Cruise clinging to the side of a helicopter. Oh and don't tell the casting people at Euphoria that I'm not actually in my early twenties. I'm up for a juicy role. Is Zenda's little brother who

wish me lucked? But lately I've been noticing a new trend. Young people are starting to act like older people. It's subtle, but once you notice it, you start seeing it every where, especially if you're a dinner at four PM. It's the early bird special for young folks. The elderly have long been the butt of jokes about early bird dining, but now a younger generation is embracing the early bird special. The busier times used to start at eight p m.

But nowadays it's definitely starts on the earlier side. A pizza joint in Lower Manhattan is also booking tables earlier and earlier. Just look at all these early bird reservations. With so many people working from home during the pandemic, employees are eager to get out of their homes as soon as the workday ends, which is definitely contributing to the shift. Are you shipping me young people stealing all

the early bird reservations? Seniors need those spots. They have to be in bed by seven thirty or else all their organs slide into their ankles. This has to end, though, old people eating early as part of the social contract. Old people get the early restaurant spots and exchange. Young people get to not watch old people eat. It's about privacy. All people don't walk into your bedroom and watch you have energetic, robust sex. They watched through the window because

they respect boundaries. And it's one thing for young people to claim seniors restaurant reservations, but now they're claiming something even more sacred, the discounts. One surprising trend now among young people signing up for benefits from the A A r P. The Wall Street Journal finding twentysomethings as new card carriers in an effort to snag discounts a mid inflation, showing it's not just for the fifty and older crowd. In my head, it was always something for senior citizens.

Year old Marissa schwartzays she la a lot about a a ARP benefits through TikTok and couldn't help but join in on the savings. Contrary to popular belief, you can be any age to join a ARP and the benefits are awesome packed the ball. Old people earn those A RP membership those A RP memberships fair and square by not dying, and a bad economy is no excuse. Did I worn in on a senior citizen discount and get me through the Great Depression? No? Because I wasn't alive

during the Great Depression? Uss Holes, How old do you think I am? You're gonna blow my shot at euphoria. I just hope these under age A RP members don't find out the secret perks of the card. I don't want to break egg, but I can shoplift as much as I want. And if I get caught, I flashed this and they assume I'm just senile and let me go. You thought I was a deranged man, but now I've got a free giant bag of bird seed, suckers. I don't even have a bird. All that seed is for me.

Who's the deranged man? Now? But I get it. I get it. It's fun to eat early and get discounts on Captain's. But there's one there's one aspect of elder culture that the youth might want to avoid getting scammed. From TikTok to Instagram, Teens are being victimized on everyday apps. In fact, a new study finds some tech savvy gen z ears are falling for a line scams at a higher rate than their grandparents. A study from Social Catfish shows the top scams targeting teens or sex stortion plots

against boys. The FBI says scammers poses attractive women on social media and send nude photos to the victim, demanding they do the same and send the money. Talent scout scams are on the rise. To users on Instagram and TikTok received d m s offering modeling and acting opportunities. Scammers then asked for a fee to apply, but of course there's no talent job inside. Another common scam is student loan forgiveness. Scammers are creating fake student loan websites,

tricking people into providing their bank info. Who's ratter technology, now your pimply little but love. It's a guy who was only recently a keen boy, a wink uh. I sympathize if I had TikTok in my youth. My brain would also be a gullible bowl of warny Barridge. But still, I'm worried about where this acting older trend could go. I mean, what's next stealing all the best rooms at the retirement community, over crowded bingo halls, quitting your steady

job behind a desk before you're even forty? Can you even imagine something doing something that crazy? Trevor? Anyway, here's something I came up with that will help the kids from getting screwed. Take a look. Hi, I'm Louis Black. Are you an overconfident gen zer who thinks you're immune from getting took? That you need? Louis Black? Scam seeker? Oh that's obviously to scamp. Look at her, now, look at you. It's not happening. You know, dangerous everywhere online

This tite will forgive my student loans if I just fill out my Social Security number. Scam, You'll be paying those loans up until death. Read a newspaper. What's the newspaper? Look today?

Welcome back to the Daily Show my guest tonight as an award winning actor and Tony nominated playwright who is currently starring in Black Panther

Wakanda Forever. Please welcome day, Dana Garria, Welcome back to the Daily Show. Thank you. It's amazing to be bad. It is amazing to have you here, especially on the heels of yet again, one of the most successful films to come out. The last I checked Black Panther gross, I think it was like three hundred and thirty or forty million. Everybody is loving the movie. People are loving you in the movie. I just watched it a few days ago, and I know I'm biased because you're sitting

here with me. But I think you had some of the funniest lines in the film. I also think you have some of the baddest, like like amazing fight scenes and choreography. How does it feel Because this was such a long project, there were so many ups and downs, There was a pandemic, there was the unfortunate loss of Chadwick. Everything came together to create this moment. Have you taken a moment to process it all? Thank you? Not yet?

Not yet, I'm getting there, but um, you know, it has been an amazing journey and and the tremendous one and a painful one and an intense one. Uh, you know, starting from the beginning when we you know, tragically lost our brother and our king, our leader, Chadwick, and so really coming back was all about honoring him. So really it was like Ryan always mentions the line my character says, which is, you know I gave, I gave everything like that. Basically we came back with that like it was just

about giving all we had to and honoring him. And so to have it, um come to a place where people are enjoying it this much and and responding to it this well, I mean, it just it just feels it feels very full circle in the sense that the goal was to honor him and the way Ryan beautifully arctd to be something that honored him, um, which involves I think something that I think he would love, which is that it is a full experience as well. It really walk through our grief with it. Is it really is.

I I noticed people crying in the cinema. Obviously people were cheering, people were laughing. But it reminded you of what you want movies to be, you know, an experience, and it was it was. It was an authentic experience. I I enjoyed seeing how both the audience and then I felt like the cost had an experience of cathosis that everyone everyone got to say goodbye in a different way.

Everyone got to go through that. You know, when you when you look at this journey and where it's come, look at how Black Panther has reshaped how we see superheroes. People have talked about how diversity has never been the same on screen. You know, this is the first woman black lead film that Marvel has ever put out, and it's crushing it. People are loving it. It's it's it's huge, it's momentous. Yeah, I mean that's just been so much to hear because I mean it is really something I

grew up. You know. The other big thing is that it's also African and and like I grew up next door to you in Zimbabwe and it's not too painful to the year are close up, but you know, I appreciate. I think I always love with Ryan Coogler is the director. I say, like, you chose one of the hardest languages to just like Cossa. It's like, first of all, it's an African language, but it's like, what if we added

clicks into it as well? And I think the cost does really well, not just with the passa, but I mean you've got some some like you could take Mayan in the movie, and that's that's what makes us. I'm not going to spoil the plot for anyone, so if there's gaps, I'm doing that on purpose. But you have a movie that now isn't just talking about the African

diaspora around the world. You're also you're also in this conversation about where we've come from, as people's in South America and Central America, and it's all coming together in

a really gripping way. Well, the beauty of it is like that aspect of that shared conversation that Africa could have with that part of the world, which is we were both we both went through a lot of imperialism, we both went through colonization, we both lost indigenous cultures, lost a lot through that very you know, wretched process.

And so it's actually this reclaiming that we're getting to see these two cultures mirror each other as they do that well Wakanda has kept it and protected it, and then and so has that have so have the Talkmill. So it's this beautiful kind of reflection on each other, which I just think is kind of unprecedended and really really exciting. I think your character shines. Some of my favorite lines genuinely in the movie are yours, because here's the thing. We met you as this badass on screen,

kicking ass running. You know. I always said, do you know how bad as you have to be to be the bodyguards for the Black Panther? Do you know what I mean? That scene of in the casino, that first fight scene where everyone's just like, who are you and what are you doing? And your character comes back. The fight scenes are even more intense, you know, there's parts where you're fighting in the water and then you're you're

not were you actually doing that? By the way, yes, I have a little bit of a torn muscle in my shoulder to prove it. But it's it's all good now it's healed. It's healed. So you don't like water fight scenes and yeah, and the scene well my character, Yeah, this is the key thing that, um you know, the stuff on the bridge, all that stuff. Yeah, I had to because there's no way I could. To me, it's like, how do I do the role if I'm not doing

the role. She's a warrior. And like I was coming from from Walking Dead as well, so I was used to In Walking Dead it was just like get out there and do it. Go be somebody, you know, it was like get it done. So like I was used to just getting out there and just getting it done like I And that's and and really acquainting myself with the weapon. And we did that so hard in the first one, so in the second one there was no exception.

I had to do my fights. I had to learn my fights, and yeah, it was it's a it's a lot of work. It's um, there's there's no way around the work. But to me, that's actually how you become the character. You can't become a Koy outside of how she knows how to fight, and you have to keep doing it a part of who she is. It needs to be a part of who you are, Like I had to I had to win. That was my thing,

Like I could not win. The general accoa this is you Oh crap, you might be right, yeah, this is this is because we see your character on this journey and again I won't spoil it, but what we see is your on your on your character's journey, is her grappling with the idea that she's not in control, her grappling with the idea that she cannot protect everybody, including herself, Her grappling with the with the idea of failure, which is such a personal experience, you know, for anybody to share,

first of all, but it's also vulnerable to have is to go, yeah, I I am not what everybody needed me to be. And you felt that pain in your character? Oh yeah, that and that That's what I loved about how Ryan like bifurcated the grief process in different characters. And my character she just doesn't really take care of herself that way. So to actually to have to get confronted with it that way was the only way she was really going to be because she is so I

have to take care of everybody else. I have to make sure this. You know, she's got the country on her shoulders. I've got to keep it protected and secure. I gotta keep this family protected and secure that she feels she's a part of UM. So the lines are all blurred between you know, her job and her personal experiences of losing her brother and and taking care of

his family. So yeah, it is definitely that sort of aspect of not being able to UM to to hold everything down and not being able to process her pain and her grief for herself. Can I just say, on behalf of everybody who was a massive fan of the first film, thank you for what you put into the second one. Thank you for making it the film that it is from our cutting corners, for enjoying it, for representing everybody on and off the screen. I appreciate you
